Subject:      Security ERRATA Important: bind for SL 5.x on i386/x86_64
Comments: To: scientific 

Synopsis:          Important: bind security update
CVE Names:         CVE-2009-0696

   CVE-2009-0696 bind: DoS (assertion failure) via nsupdate packets

A flaw was found in the way BIND handles dynamic update message packets
containing the "ANY" record type. A remote attacker could use this flaw to
send a specially-crafted dynamic update packet that could cause named to
exit with an assertion failure. (CVE-2009-0696)

Note: even if named is not configured for dynamic updates, receiving such
a specially-crafted dynamic update packet could still cause named to exit
unexpectedly.

After installing the update, the BIND daemon (named) will be restarted 
automatically.
