slackware
August 10, 2018
New bind packages are available for Slackware 14.0, 14.1, 14.2, and -current to fix security issues
Summary
Here are the details from the Slackware 14.2 ChangeLog: patches/packages/bind-9.10.8_P1-i586-1_slack14.2.txz: Upgraded. Fixed a security issue where named could crash during recursive processing of DNAME records when "deny-answer-aliases" was in use resulting in a denial of service. Note that "deny-answer-aliases" is rarely used. For more information, see: https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2018-5740 (* Security fix *)
