Synopsis:	Moderate: bind security update
Issue date:	2010-01-20
CVE Names:	CVE-2010-0097 CVE-2010-0290

CVE-2010-0097 BIND DNSSEC NSEC/NSEC3 validation code could cause bogus 
NXDOMAIN responses
CVE-2010-0290 BIND upstream fix for CVE-2009-4022 is incomplete

A flaw was found in the BIND DNSSEC NSEC/NSEC3 validation code. If BIND 
was running as a DNSSEC-validating resolver, it could incorrectly cache
NXDOMAIN responses, as if they were valid, for records proven by NSEC or
NSEC3 to exist. A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause a BIND
server to return the bogus, cached NXDOMAIN responses for valid records 
and prevent users from retrieving those records (denial of service).
(CVE-2010-0097)

The original fix for CVE-2009-4022 was found to be incomplete. BIND was
incorrectly caching certain responses without performing proper DNSSEC
validation. CNAME and DNAME records could be cached, without proper 
DNSSEC validation, when received from processing recursive client 
queries that requested DNSSEC records but indicated that checking should 
be disabled. A remote attacker could use this flaw to bypass the DNSSEC 
validation check and perform a cache poisoning attack if the target BIND 
server was receiving such client queries. (CVE-2010-0290)

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