Debian DLA-163-1 : bind9 security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 82147

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Jan-Piet Mens discovered that the BIND DNS server would crash when processing an invalid DNSSEC key rollover, either due to an error on the zone operator's part, or due to interference with network traffic by an attacker. This issue affects configurations with the directives 'dnssec-validation auto;' (as enabled in the Debian default configuration) or 'dnssec-lookaside auto;'.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
