Insight
Insight
Witold Baryluk discovered that MaraDNS, a simple security-focused Domain Name Service server, may overflow an internal buffer when handling requests with a large number of labels, causing a server crash and the consequent denial of service. For the oldstable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in version 1.3.07.09-2.1. For the stable distribution (squeeze) and greater this problem had already been fixed in version 1.4.03-1.1.
Solution
Solution
We recommend that you upgrade your maradns packages.
