slackware
April 26, 2019
New bind packages are available for Slackware 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-9.11.6_P1-i586-1_slack14.2.txz: Upgraded. This update fixes a security issue: The TCP client quota set using the tcp-clients option could be exceeded in some cases. This could lead to exhaustion of file descriptors. For more information, see: https://kb.isc.org/docs/cve-2018-5743 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2018-5743 (* Security fix *)
