Ubuntu 5.04 / 5.10 / 6.06 LTS : bind9 vulnerabilities (USN-343-1)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 27922

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

bind did not sufficiently verify particular requests and responses from other name servers and users. By sending a specially crafted packet, a remote attacker could exploit this to crash the name server.

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

Solution

Update the affected packages.
