Synopsis:	Moderate: bind security update
Issue date:	2009-01-08
CVE Names:	CVE-2009-0025

A flaw was discovered in the way BIND checked the return value of the
OpenSSL DSA_do_verify function. On systems using DNSSEC, a malicious zone
could present a malformed DSA certificate and bypass proper certificate
validation, allowing spoofing attacks. (CVE-2009-0025)

For users of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 this update also addresses a bug
which can cause BIND to occasionally exit with an assertion failure.

After installing theupdate, BIND daemon will be restarted automatically.
