[Bug 392173] New: Bogus root DNS servers is used, update of root. hint needed
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=392173 Summary: Bogus root DNS servers is used, update of root.hint needed Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: All OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Network AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: jschrod@acm.org QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- ICANN moved one of its DNS root servers, l.root-servers.net to another IP address, see http://blog.icann.org/?p=227. As reported on the blog http://www.renesys.com/blog/2008/05/identity_theft_hits_the_root_n_1.shtml, independent DNS servers popped up on the old root server address -- actually several of them. The security consequences of obscure DNS root server usage are obvious, IMHO. You might want to consider security updates to the bind package with an updated root.hint file. (Since the story is on Slashdot, it is as public as it can get; thus I use the regular channel for this request.) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
