Synopsis:          Important: bind97 security update
Issue Date:        2013-03-28
CVE Numbers:       CVE-2013-2266
--

A denial of service flaw was found in the libdns library. A remote
attacker could use this flaw to send a specially-crafted DNS query to
named that, when processed, would cause named to use an excessive amount
of memory, or possibly crash. (CVE-2013-2266)

Note: This update disables the syntax checking of NAPTR (Naming Authority
Pointer) resource records.

After installing the update, the BIND daemon (named) will be restarted
automatically.
