Language:

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Fedora 40 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the FEDORA-2023-687525fcca advisory.

 # BIND 9.18.19

 ##Security Fixes

 - Previously, sending a specially crafted message over the control channel could cause the packet- parsing code to run out of available stack memory, causing named to terminate unexpectedly. This has been fixed. ([CVE-2023-3341](https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2023-3341))
 - A flaw in the networking code handling DNS-over-TLS queries could cause named to terminate unexpectedly due to an assertion failure under significant DNS-over-TLS query load. This has been fixed.
 ([CVE-2023-4236](https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2023-4236))
 - [Upstream release notes](https://downloads.isc.org/isc/bind9/9.18.19/doc/arm/html/notes.html#notes-for- bind-9-18-19)
