URL: http://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2015-0189.html
Type: security
Affected Mageia releases: 4
CVE: CVE-2015-1868

Description:
Updated pdns and pdns-recursor packages fix security vulnerability:

A bug was discovered in the label decompression code in PowerDNS and PowerDNS
Recursor, making it possible for names to refer to themselves, thus causing a
loop during decompression. On some platforms, this bug can be abused to cause
crashes. On all platforms, this bug can be abused to cause service-affecting
CPU spikes (CVE-2015-1868).

The pdns package has been updated to version 3.3.2 and the pdns-recursor
package has been updated to version 3.6.3 to fix this issue and other bugs.
