Slackware 13.37: SSA:2012-166-01 Critical: Bind DoS Attack

New bind packages are available for Slackware 8.1, 9.0, 9.1, 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, 11.0, 12.0, 12.1, 12.2, 13.0, 13.1, 13.37, and -current to fix security issues. . -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 [slackware-security] bind (SSA:2012-166-01) New bind packages are available for Slackware 8.1, 9.0, 9.1, 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, 11.0, 12.0, 12.1, 12.2, 13.0, 13.1, 13.37, and -current to fix security issues. Here are the details from the Slackware 13.37 ChangeLog: +--------------------------+ This release fixes an issue that could crash BIND, leading to a denial of service. It also fixes the so-called "ghost names attack" whereby a remote attacker may trigger continued resolvability of revoked domain names. For more information, see: https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2012-1033 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2012-1667 (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ On Slackware 8.1, only CVE-2012-1667 was patched (see ChangeLog). IMPORTANT NOTE FOR ON SLACKWARE 9.0 - 13.1: These versions were upgraded with a new version of BIND, _not_ a patched one. It is likely to be more strict about the correctness of configuration files. Care should be taken about deploying this upgrade on production servers to avoid an unintended interruption of service. Where to find the new packages: +-----------------------------+ Thanks to the friendly folks at the OSU Open Source Lab (https://osuosl.org/) for donating FTP and rsync hosting to the Slackware project! :-) Also see the "Get Slack" section on http://www.slackware.com/ for additional mirror sites near you.
