Package name bind Date November 10th, 2000 Advisory ID MDKSA-2000:067 Affected versions 6.0, 6.1, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2 Synopsis Updated bind packages fix improper handling of compressed zone transfers

Problem Description

A vulnerability exists with the bind nameserver dealing with compressed
zone transfers. This vulnerability can be exploited by authorized zone
transfers and used in a DoS attack. The named daemon will crash if it
receives this type of zone transfer from an authorized source address.
The crash is not necessarily immediate, but can range from a few
seconds to a few minutes from the time of the attack.

This new version of bind also fixes a bug in the handling of the
compression pointer tables which can result in the nameserver entering
an infinite loop. This bug has been known to occur in the standard
processing of SRV records used with Windows 2000 Active Directory.

All Linux-Mandrake users are encouraged to upgrade bind immediately.
