Comments: To: scientific 

Synopsis:          Important: bind security update
CVE Names:         CVE-2008-1447
Description:

The DNS protocol protects against spoofing attacks by requiring an attacker
to predict both the DNS transaction ID and UDP source port of a request. In
recent years, a number of papers have found problems with DNS
implementations which make it easier for an attacker to perform DNS
cache-poisoning attacks.

Previous versions of BIND did not use randomized UDP source ports. If an
attacker was able to predict the random DNS transaction ID, this could make
DNS cache-poisoning attacks easier. In order to provide more resilience,
BIND has been updated to use a range of random UDP source ports.
(CVE-2008-1447)

Note: This errata also updates SELinux policy to allow BIND to use random
UDP source ports.
