Title:	CentOS Update for bind CESA-2012:1267 centos5
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'bind'; package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'bind' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. Vulnerability Insight: The Berkeley Internet Name Domain (BIND) is an implementation of the Domain Name System (DNS) protocols. BIND includes a DNS server (named), a resolver library (routines for applications to use when interfacing with DNS), and tools for verifying that the DNS server is operating correctly. A flaw was found in the way BIND handled resource records with a large RDATA value. A malicious owner of a DNS domain could use this flaw to create specially-crafted DNS resource records, that would cause a recursive resolver or secondary server to exit unexpectedly with an assertion failure. (CVE-2012-4244) This update also fixes the following bug: * The bind-chroot-admin script, executed when upgrading the bind-chroot package, failed to correctly update the permissions of the /var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf file. Depending on the permissions of the file, this could have prevented named from starting after installing package updates. With this update, bind-chroot-admin correctly updates the permissions and ownership of the file. (BZ#857056) Users of bind are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which correct these issues. After installing the update, the BIND daemon (named) will be restarted automatically. Affected Software/OS: bind on CentOS 5 Solution: Please install the updated packages. CVSS Score: 7.8 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C
