Synopsis:	Important: bind security update
Issue date:	2010-12-20
CVE Names:	CVE-2010-3613

It was discovered that named did not invalidate previously cached SIG
records when adding an NCACHE record for the same entry to the cache. A
remote attacker allowed to send recursive DNS queries to named could use
this flaw to crash named. (CVE-2010-3613)

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