Detail

It was discovered that in MyDNS, a domain name server with database backend, the daemon could be crashed through malicious remote update requests, which may lead to denial of service.

The old stable distribution (sarge) is not affected.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 1.1.0-8.
