Detail

A vulnerability was discovered in BIND, a domain name server, whereby a malicious name server could return authoritative negative responses with a large TTL (time-to-live) value, thereby rendering a domain name unreachable. A successful attack would require that a vulnerable BIND instance submit a query to a malicious nameserver.

The bind9 package is not affected by this vulnerability.

For the current stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 1:8.3.3-2.0woody2.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 1:8.4.3-1.

We recommend that you update your bind package.

Id Description
2866 ISC BIND Negative Record Cache Poisoning

BIND prior to 8.3.7 contain a flaw that allows for a remote Denial of Service attack. An attacker who controls a DNS server can cause vulnerable servers to attempt to cache "negative" records. Legitimate clients requesting DNS service would not be able to function until the "time to live" (TTL) for the negative record had expired.
