Synopsis: Important: bind security and bug fix update
Issue Date: 2013-03-28
CVE Numbers: CVE-2013-2266
--

A denial of service flaw was found in the libdns library. A remote
attacker could use this flaw to send a specially-crafted DNS query to
named that, when processed, would cause named to use an excessive amount
of memory, or possibly crash. (CVE-2013-2266)

Note: This update disables the syntax checking of NAPTR (Naming Authority
Pointer) resource records.

This update also fixes the following bug:

* Previously, rebuilding the bind-dyndb-ldap source RPM failed with a
"/usr/include/dns/view.h:76:21: error: dns/rrl.h: No such file or
directory" error.

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