    Subject: Linux: multiple vulnerabilities in BIND (CERT CA-2002-31)
    Advisory number: CSSA-2002-059.0
    Issue date: 2002 December 19
    Cross reference:

    1. Problem Description

            From CERT CA-2002-31:

            Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in BIND (Berkeley
            Internet Name Domain).

            One of these vulnerabilities may allow remote attackers to
            execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running
            named, typically root.

            Other vulnerabilities may allow remote attackers to disrupt
            the normal operation of your name server, possibly causing a
            crash.

            A vulnerability in the DNS resolver library may allow remote
            attackers to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of
            applications that issue network name or address requests.

    2. Vulnerable Supported Versions

            System Package
            ----------------------------------------------------------------------

            OpenLinux 3.1.1 Server prior to bind-8.3.4-1.i386.rpm
                                            prior to bind-doc-8.3.4-1.i386.rpm
                                            prior to bind-utils-8.3.4-1.i386.rpm

            OpenLinux 3.1.1 Workstation prior to bind-8.3.4-1.i386.rpm
                                            prior to bind-doc-8.3.4-1.i386.rpm
                                            prior to bind-utils-8.3.4-1.i386.rpm

            OpenLinux 3.1 Server prior to bind-8.3.4-1.i386.rpm
                                            prior to bind-doc-8.3.4-1.i386.rpm
                                            prior to bind-utils-8.3.4-1.i386.rpm

            OpenLinux 3.1 Workstation prior to bind-8.3.4-1.i386.rpm
                                            prior to bind-doc-8.3.4-1.i386.rpm
                                            prior to bind-utils-8.3.4-1.i386.rpm

    3. Solution

            The proper solution is to install the latest packages. Many
            customers find it easier to use the Caldera System Updater, called
            cupdate (or kcupdate under the KDE environment), to update these
            packages rather than downloading and installing them by hand.
