Mandriva Linux Security Advisory : bind (MDVSA-2009:002)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 37473

Synopsis

The remote Mandriva Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

A flaw was found in how BIND checked the return value of the OpenSSL DSA_do_verify() function. On systems that use DNSSEC, a malicious zone could present a malformed DSA certificate and bypass proper certificate validation, which would allow for spoofing attacks (CVE-2009-0025).

The updated packages have been patched to prevent this issue.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
