    Trustix Secure Linux Security Advisory #2003-0044

    Package name: bind
    Summary: negative cache sec. fix
    Date: 2003-11-27
    Affected versions: TSL 1.2, 1.5

    - --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Package description:
      BIND (Berkeley Internet Name Domain) is an implementation of the DNS (Domain
      Name System) protocols. BIND includes a DNS server (named), which resolves
      host names to IP addresses, and a resolver library (routines for applications
      to use when interfacing with DNS). A DNS server allows clients to name
      resources or objects and share the information with other network machines.
      The named DNS server can be used on workstations as a caching name server,
      but is generally only needed on one machine for an entire network. Note that
      the configuration files for making BIND act as a simple caching nameserver
      are included in the caching-nameserver package.Install the bind package if
      you need a DNS server for your network. If you want bind to act a caching
      name server, you will also need to install the caching-nameserver package.

    Problem description:
      According the the bind announcment dated Thu, 27 Nov 2003, the new upstream
