Fw: [COVERT-2001-01] Multiple Vulnerabilities in BIND
Someone mentioned suse shipped 8.2.3-T5
From the advisory:
o Vulnerable Systems
BIND 8 versions: 8.2, 8.2.1 8.2.2 through to 8.2.2-P7 8.2.3-T1A through to 8.2.3-T9B
BIND 4 versions: buffer overflow - 4.9.5 through to 4.9.7 format string - 4.9.3 through to 4.9.5-P1
As for suse being a bit slow they aren't as bad as some, not as good as other, but do tend to get it right more often the first time then quite a few. Also I believe they are gearing up for a new release. -Kurt - who spent the morning upgrading servers to 8.2.3. wheeep.
Hi, thanks to all for this discussion. Could we please extend the licence part of the discussion to cover the BSD vs. GPL topic. We also need to intensify the covering of the feature rich vs. ease of use vs. security part. Bind vs. Djbdns, sendmail vs. qmail - please cover all that potentially flame topics right now, so that for the next 12 months whenever such comes up again someone can say "We allready had that this year, check the archives". Thank you mike
