    Package : bind9
    Vulnerability : denial of service
    Problem type : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE ID : CVE-2013-2266
    Debian Bug : 704174

    Matthew Horsfall of Dyn, Inc. discovered that BIND, a DNS server, is
    prone to a denial of service vulnerability. 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.

    For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
    version 1:9.7.3.dfsg-1~squeeze10.

    For the testing distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in
    version 1:9.8.4.dfsg.P1-6+nmu1.

    For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
    version 1:9.8.4.dfsg.P1-6+nmu1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your bind9 packages.
