Calendar Grey November 25, 2020
Dist Slackware Esm H88
Updated bind packages for Slackware have been released to enhance security measures and optimize performance.
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-9.11.25-i586-1_slack14.2.txz: Upgraded. This update fixes bugs, including a denial-of-service security issue: After a Negative Trust Anchor (NTA) is added, BIND performs periodic checks to see if it is still necessary. If BIND encountered a failure while creating a query to perform such a check, it attempted to dereference a NULL pointer, resulting in a crash. [GL #2244] (* Security fix *)
