DSA-026-1 bind -- buffer overflows and information leak

Debian Security Advisory

DSA-026-1 bind -- buffer overflows and information leak

Date Reported:

29 Jan 2001

Affected Packages:

bind

Vulnerable:

Yes

Security database references:

In Mitre's CVE dictionary: CVE-2001-0010, CVE-2001-0012.
CERT's vulnerabilities, advisories and incident notes: CA-2001-02, VU#196945, VU#325431.

More information:

BIND 8 suffered from several buffer overflows. It is possible to construct an inverse query that allows the stack to be read remotely exposing environment variables. CERT has disclosed information about these issues. A new upstream version fixes this. Due to the complexity of BIND we have decided to make an exception to our rule by releasing the new upstream source to our stable distribution. We recommend you upgrade your bind packages immediately.

Fixed in:

Debian 2.2 (potato)
