news 28 Posted July 27, 2012 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 [slackware-security] bind (SSA:2012-209-01) New bind packages are available for Slackware 12.0, 12.1, 12.2, 13.0, 13.1, 13.37, and -current to fix security issues. Here are the details from the Slackware 13.37 ChangeLog: +--------------------------+ patches/packages/bind-9.7.6_P2-i486-1_slack13.37.txz: Upgraded. Prevents a named assert (crash) when vali[censored] caused by using "Bad cache" data before it has been initialized. [RT #30025] ISC_QUEUE handling for recursive clients was updated to address a race condition that could cause a memory leak. This rarely occurred with UDP clients, but could be a significant problem for a server handling a steady rate of TCP queries. [RT #29539 & #30233] Under heavy incoming TCP query loads named could experience a memory leak which could lead to significant reductions in query response or cause the server to be terminated on systems with "out of memory" killers. [RT #29539] A condition has been corrected where improper handling of zero-length RDATA could cause undesirable behavior, including termination of the named process. [RT #29644] (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Where to find the new packages: +-----------------------------+ Thanks to the friendly folks at the OSU Open Source Lab (http://osuosl.org) for donating FTP and rsync hosting to the Slackware project! :-) Also see the "Get Slack" section on http://slackware.com for additional mirror sites near you.
