--------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2007-612 2007-07-02 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Product : Fedora Core 5 Name : perl-Net-DNS Version : 0.60 Release : 1.fc5 Summary : DNS resolver modules for Perl Description : Net::DNS is a collection of Perl modules that act as a Domain Name System (DNS) resolver. It allows the programmer to perform DNS queries that are beyond the capabilities of gethostbyname and gethostbyaddr. The programmer should be somewhat familiar with the format of a DNS packet and its various sections. See RFC 1035 or DNS and BIND (Albitz & Liu) for details. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: This brings FC-5 up to date with the latest changes to Net::DNS. See the project page here: http://search.cpan.org/~olaf/Net-DNS-0.60/ The change for this upstream issue is included: http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=23961 Since this fix has security implications (making DNS spoofing more difficult), pushing updates to all current versions of fedora. Note - I know of no exploits for the security issue described above. --------------------------------------------------------------------- * Sat Jun 23 2007 Robin Norwood <rnorwood@redhat.com> - 0.60-1 - Upgrade to latest upstream version - 0.60 - Included changes from 0.59-2 in F-7: - Fixed issues brought up during package review - BuildRequires should not require perl, and fixed the format. - Fixed the BuildRoot * Wed Sep 27 2006 Robin Norwood <rnorwood@redhat.com> - 0.59-1 - Upgrade to upstream version 0.59 per bug #208315 * Mon Jul 17 2006 Jason Vas Dias <jvdias@redhat.com> - 0.58-1.fc6 - Upgrade to upstream version 0.58 * Wed Jul 12 2006 Jesse Keating <jkeating@redhat.com> - 0.57-1.1 - rebuild --------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be downloaded from: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/u... 03272e3e45cad5a335ed42969e151c920345e15f SRPMS/perl-Net-DNS-0.60-1.fc5.src.rpm 03272e3e45cad5a335ed42969e151c920345e15f noarch/perl-Net-DNS-0.60-1.fc5.src.rpm db6c186881450323190d7cdce1253508b3a10ed7 ppc/perl-Net-DNS-0.60-1.fc5.ppc.rpm ed8802f172f94e369c208cfc45c9d209bfdec7fb ppc/debug/perl-Net-DNS-debuginfo-0.60-1.fc5.ppc.rpm a8cbe8568f69351a5ad8ad2e263a74ee3903778d x86_64/debug/perl-Net-DNS-debuginfo-0.60-1.fc5.x86_64.rpm 1885ac4966da9b5f65a74f7026b4a0f3f879bba9 x86_64/perl-Net-DNS-0.60-1.fc5.x86_64.rpm e46a8e46339c6522e5606d741433e3f5a49c8c7c i386/perl-Net-DNS-0.60-1.fc5.i386.rpm 35e44ee2c525ac2641277c1e4e751ff08539b9e9 i386/debug/perl-Net-DNS-debuginfo-0.60-1.fc5.i386.rpm This update can be installed with the 'yum' update program.
