Slackware 10.2 / 11.0 : bind 10.2/11.0 recompile (SSA:2009-015-01)

high Nessus Plugin ID 54871

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Slackware host is missing a security update.

Description

Updated bind packages are available for Slackware 10.2 and 11.0 to address a load problem. It was reported that the initial build of these updates complained that the Linux capability module was not present and would refuse to load. It was determined that the packages which were compiled on 10.2 and 11.0 systems running 2.6 kernels, and although the installed kernel headers are from 2.4.x, it picked up on this resulting in packages that would only run under 2.4 kernels.
These new packages address the issue. As always, any problems noted with update patches should be reported to [email protected], and we will do our best to address them as quickly as possible.

Solution

Update the affected bind package.
