openSUSE 10 Security Update : bind (bind-4931)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 31449

Synopsis

The remote openSUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

Certain input data could trigger a buffer overflow in the 'inet_network' function of libbind. Applications that use this function could therefore potentially be crashed or exploited to execute arbitrary code. Bind itself is not affected though (CVE-2008-0122).

Solution

Update the affected bind packages.
