Debian 3.1 DSA 771-1 Critical: pdns Denial Of Service Update

Norbert Sendetzky and Jan de Groot discoverd that the LDAP backend
did not properly escape all queries, allowing it to fail and not
answer queries anymore.

CAN-2005-2302

Wilco Baan discovered that queries from clients without recursion
permission can temporarily blank out domains to clients with
recursion permitted. This enables outside users to blank out a
domain temporarily to normal users.

The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain pdns packages.

For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in
version 2.9.17-13sarge1.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in
version 2.9.18-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your pdns package.
