Ubuntu 14.04 LTS : Bind vulnerability (USN-2669-1)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 84620

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-2669-1 advisory.

 Breno Silveira Soares discovered that Bind incorrectly handled certain zone data when configured to perform DNSSEC validation. A remote attacker could use this issue with specially crafted zone data to cause Bind to crash, resulting in a denial of service.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
