    Package : bind9
    Vulnerability : denial of service
    Problem type : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE ID : CVE-2012-3817

    Einar Lonn discovered that under certain conditions bind9, a DNS server,
    may use cached data before initialization. As a result, an attacker can trigger and assertion failure on servers under high query load that do
    DNSSEC validation.

    For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
    version 1:9.7.3.dfsg-1~squeeze6.

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

    For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
    version 1:9.8.1.dfsg.P1-4.2.


    We recommend that you upgrade your bind9 packages.
