[slackware-security]  bind (SSA:2021-300-01)

New bind packages are available for Slackware 14.0, 14.1, 14.2, and -current to
fix a security issue.


Here are the details from the Slackware 14.2 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/bind-9.11.36-i586-1_slack14.2.txz:  Upgraded.
  This update fixes bugs and the following security issue:
  The "lame-ttl" option is now forcibly set to 0. This effectively disables
  the lame server cache, as it could previously be abused by an attacker to
  significantly degrade resolver performance.
  For more information, see:
    https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-25219
  (* Security fix *)
