Slackware: 2006-257-01: bind DoS Security Update
Summary
Here are the details from the Slackware 10.2 ChangeLog: patches/packages/bind-9.3.2_P1-i486-1_slack10.2.tgz: Upgraded to bind-9.3.2_P1. This update addresses a denial of service vulnerability. BIND's CHANGES file says this: 2066. [security] Handle SIG queries gracefully. [RT #16300] The best discussion I've found is in FreeBSD's advisory, so here's a link: https://www.freebsd.org/security/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-06:20.bind.asc Also, fixed some missing man pages. (noticed by Xavier Thomassin -- thanks) (* Security fix *)
Where Find New Packages
HINT: Getting slow download speeds from ftp.slackware.com?
Give slackware.osuosl.org a try. This is another primary FTP site
for Slackware that can be considerably faster than downloading
from ftp.slackware.com.
Thanks to the friendly folks at the OSU Open Source Lab
(https://osuosl.org/) for donating additional FTP and rsync hosting
to the Slackware project! :-)
Also see the "Get Slack" section on http://www.slackware.com/ for
additional mirror sites near you.
