Description:   Opened: 2007-05-01 12:38 0000 
Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in BIND, which can be exploited by malicious
people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).

 The vulnerability is caused due to an error when invoking the "query_addsoa()"
function. This can be exploited to cause the nameserver to exit by sending a
specially crafted sequence of queries.

 Successful exploitation requires that "recursion" is enabled.

 The vulnerability is reported in BIND version 9.4.0, and BIND versions
9.5.0a1, 9.5.0a2, and 9.5.0a3.

Solution:
Update to BIND 9.4.1.

------- Comment #1 From Konstantin Arkhipov 2007-05-01 13:23:44 0000 ------- 
bind and bind-tools bumped to 9.4.1.

------- Comment #2 From Sune Kloppenborg Jeppesen 2007-05-01 14:36:55 0000 ------- 
Thx Konstantin.

Closing with NO GLSA since 9.4 is not stable yet.
