Slackware 14.2: 2016-308-02 Critical Bind Denial of Service Issue

slackware
Calendar Grey November 4, 2016
Dist Slackware Esm H88
Updated bind packages have been released for Slackware to address an urgent denial-of-service vulnerability impacting multiple versions.
New bind packages are available for Slackware 13.0, 13.1, 13.37, 14.0, 14.1, 14.2, and -current to fix a security issue

Summary

Here are the details from the Slackware 14.2 ChangeLog: patches/packages/bind-9.10.4_P4-i586-1_slack14.2.txz: Upgraded. This update fixes a denial-of-service vulnerability. A defect in BIND's handling of responses containing a DNAME answer can cause a resolver to exit after encountering an assertion failure in db.c or resolver.c. A server encountering either of these error conditions will stop, resulting in denial of service to clients. The risk to authoritative servers is minimal; recursive servers are chiefly at risk. For more information, see: https://kb.isc.org/docs/aa-01434 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2016-8864 (* Security fix *)
