An openSUSE patch resolves a minor dns replay vulnerability found in pdns. For comprehensive information, see openSUSE-SU-2018:1462-1.
An update that fixes one vulnerability is now available.

Description

pdns was updated to 4.1.2.

Security fixes:

* Dnsreplay: bail out on a too small outgoing buffer (CVE-2018-1046

bsc#1092540)

Improvements:

* API: increase serial after dnssec related updates

* Auth: lower ‘packet too short’ loglevel

* Make check-zone error on rows that have content but shouldn’t

* Auth: avoid an isane amount of new backend connections during an axfr

* Report unparseable data in stoul invalid_argument exception

* Backport: recheck serial when axfr is done

* Backport: add tcp support for alias

Bug Fixes:

* Auth: allocate new statements after reconnecting to postgresql

* Auth-bindbackend: only compare ips in ismaster() (Kees Monshouwer)

* Rather than crash, sheepishly report no file/linenum

* Document undocumented config vars * Backport #6276 (auth 4.1.x): prevent cname + other data with dnsupdate

Misc fixes:

* Move includes around to avoid boost L conflict

* Backport: update edns option code...
