DSA-771-1 pdns -- several vulnerabilities

Debian Security Advisory

DSA-771-1 pdns -- several vulnerabilities

Date Reported:

01 Aug 2005

Affected Packages:

pdns

Vulnerable:

Yes

Security database references:

In the Debian bugtracking system: Bug 318798.
In Mitre's CVE dictionary: CVE-2005-2301, CVE-2005-2302.

More information:

Several problems have been discovered in pdns, a versatile nameserver that can lead to a denial of service. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:

• CAN-2005-2301

  Norbert Sendetzky and Jan de Groot discovered that the LDAP backend did not properly escape all queries, allowing it to fail and not answer queries anymore.

• CAN-2005-2302

  Wilco Baan discovered that queries from clients without recursion permission can temporarily blank out domains to clients with recursion permitted. This enables outside users to blank out a domain temporarily to normal users.

The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain pdns packages.

For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in version 2.9.17-13sarge1.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 2.9.18-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your pdns package.

Fixed in:

Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 (sarge)
