FreeBSD : p5-Net-DNS -- multiple Vulnerabilities (d2b8a963-3d59-11dc-b3d3-0016179b2dd5)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 25807

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing a security-related update.

Description

A Secunia Advisory reports :

An error exists in the handling of DNS queries where IDs are incremented with a fixed value and are additionally used for child processes in a forking server. This can be exploited to poison the DNS cache of an application using the module if a valid ID is guessed.

An error in the PP implementation within the 'dn_expand()' function can be exploited to cause a stack overflow due to an endless loop via a specially crafted DNS packet.

Solution

Update the affected package.
