Summary
The remote host is missing an update to bind announced via advisory MDVSA-2009:002.
Insight
Insight
A flaw was found in how BIND checked the return value of the OpenSSL DSA_do_verify() function. On systems that use DNSSEC, a malicious zone could present a malformed DSA certificate and bypass proper certificate validation, which would allow for spoofing attacks (CVE-2009-0025). The updated packages have been patched to prevent this issue. Affected: 2008.0, 2008.1, 2009.0, Corporate 3.0, Corporate 4.0, Multi Network Firewall 2.0
