Synopsis: Important: bind security update
Issue Date: 2011-05-31
CVE Numbers: CVE-2011-1910

The Berkeley Internet Name Domain (BIND) is an implementation of the
Domain Name System (DNS) protocols. BIND includes a DNS server (named);
a resolver library (routines for applications to use when interfacing
with DNS); and tools for verifying that the DNS server is operating
correctly.

An off-by-one flaw was found in the way BIND processed negative
responses with large resource record sets (RRSets). An attacker able to
send recursive queries to a BIND server that is configured as a caching
resolver could use this flaw to cause named to exit with an assertion
failure. (CVE-2011-1910)

All BIND users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
resolve this issue. After installing the update, the BIND daemon (named)
will be restarted automatically.

Dependancies: bind-dyndb-ldap was required to be updated to 0.2.0-1.el6
due to dependancies.
