Scientific Linux Security Update : bind on SL5.x, SL4.x, SL3.x i386/x86_64

medium Nessus Plugin ID 60231

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

A flaw was found in the way BIND generates outbound DNS query ids. If an attacker is able to acquire a finite set of query IDs, it becomes possible to accurately predict future query IDs. Future query ID prediction may allow an attacker to conduct a DNS cache poisoning attack, which can result in the DNS server returning incorrect client query data. (CVE-2007-2926)

Solution

Update the affected packages.
