Statement Date:
Status Summary:Vulnerable

Vendor Statement

Mac OS X 10.3 and later: Not Vulnerable. Mac OS X 10.3 uses a later version of BIND that does not have this vulnerability.

Mac OS X 10.2.x: Recommend upgrading to Mac OS X 10.2.8, then installing BIND 8.4.3 as follows:

First install the Developer Tools if they are not already present, then perform the following steps from the command-line in an application such as Terminal:

1. Download BIND version 8.4.3 by executing the following command:
curl -O ftp://ftp.isc.org/isc/bind/src/8.4.3/bind-src.tar.gz

2. Verify the integrity of this file by typing:
cksum bind-src.tar.gz
which should indicate "3224691664 1438439 bind-src.tar.gz"

3. Unpack the distribution as follows:
tar xvzf bind-src.tar.gz

4. Now you're ready to start building the distribution.
cd to the src/ directory and type "make"

5. The next step will install the new named daemon:
sudo cp bin/named/named /usr/sbin/

6. Reboot
