    Package : pdns
    CVE ID : CVE-2016-5426 CVE-2016-5427 CVE-2016-6172
    Debian Bug : 830808

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in pdns, an authoritative
    DNS server. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies
    the following problems:

    CVE-2016-5426 / CVE-2016-5427

    Florian Heinz and Martin Kluge reported that the PowerDNS
    Authoritative Server accepts queries with a qname's length larger
    than 255 bytes and does not properly handle dot inside labels. A
    remote, unauthenticated attacker can take advantage of these flaws
    to cause abnormal load on the PowerDNS backend by sending specially
    crafted DNS queries, potentially leading to a denial of service.

    CVE-2016-6172

    It was reported that a malicious primary DNS server can crash a
    secondary PowerDNS server due to improper restriction of zone size
    limits. This update adds a feature to limit AXFR sizes in response
    to this flaw.

    For the stable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed in
    version 3.4.1-4+deb8u6.

    We recommend that you upgrade your pdns packages.
