Summary

The remote host is missing an update for the 'bind' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.

Insight

Insight

BIND (Berkeley Internet Name Domain) is an implementation of the DNS (Domain Name System) protocols. A flaw was discovered in the way BIND checked the return value of the OpenSSL DSA_do_verify function. On systems using DNSSEC, a malicious zone could present a malformed DSA certificate and bypass proper certificate validation, allowing spoofing attacks. (CVE-2009-0025) For users of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 this update also addresses a bug which can cause BIND to occasionally exit with an assertion failure. All BIND users are advised to upgrade to the updated package, which contains a backported patch to resolve this issue. After installing the update, BIND daemon will be restarted automatically.
