Synopsis: Important: bind security update
Issue Date: 2012-10-12

--

A flaw was found in the way BIND handled certain combinations of resource
records. A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause a recursive
resolver, or an authoritative server in certain configurations, to lockup.
(CVE-2012-5166)

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