Ubuntu 6.06 LTS / 8.04 LTS / 8.10 / 9.04 : bind9 vulnerability (USN-808-1)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 40417

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

Micha Krause discovered that Bind did not correctly validate certain dynamic DNS update packets. An unauthenticated remote attacker could send specially crafted traffic to crash the DNS server, leading to a denial of service.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
