Synopsis: Moderate: perl-Net-DNS security update
CVE Names: CVE-2007-3377 CVE-2007-3409

Description:
A flaw was found in the way Net::DNS generated the ID field in a DNS
query.
This predictable ID field could be used by a remote attacker to return
invalid DNS data. (CVE-2007-3377)

A denial of service flaw was found in the way Net::DNS parsed certain DNS
requests. A malformed response to a DNS request could cause the
application
using Net::DNS to crash or stop responding. (CVE-2007-3409)
