Openwall GNU/*/Linux Information for VU#852283

Date Notified11/12/2002
Date Modified10/18/2004 10:58:48 AM
Status SummaryVulnerable

Vendor Statement

BIND 4.9.10-OW2 includes the patch provided by ISC and thus has the two vulnerabilities affecting BIND 4 fixed. Previous versions of BIND 4.9.x-OW patches, if used properly, significantly reduced the impact of the "named" vulnerability. The patches are available at their usual location:
A patch against BIND 4.9.11 will appear as soon as this version is officially released, although it will likely be effectively the same as the currently available 4.9.10-OW2.

It hasn't been fully researched whether the resolver code in glibc,and in particular on Openwall GNU/*/Linux, shares any of the newly discovered BIND 4 resolver library vulnerabilities. Analysis is in progress.
