    Package : nsd3
    Vulnerability : null pointer dereference
    Problem type : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE ID : CVE-2012-2978

    Marek VavruĊĦa and Lubos Slovak discovered that NSD, an authoritative
    domain name server, is not properly handling non-standard DNS packets.
    his can result in a NULL pointer dereference and crash the handling
    process. A remote attacker can abuse this flaw to perform denial of
    service attacks.


    For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
    version 3.2.5-1.squeeze2.

    For the testing distribution (wheezy), this problem will be fixed soon.

    For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
    version 3.2.12-1.


    We recommend that you upgrade your nsd3 packages.
