3. Description:

The Berkeley Internet Name Domain (BIND) is an implementation of the Domain Name System (DNS) protocols. BIND includes a DNS server (named); a resolver library (routines for applications to use when interfacing with DNS); and tools for verifying that the DNS server is operating correctly.

An off-by-one flaw was found in the way BIND processed negative responses with large resource record sets (RRSets). An attacker able to send recursive queries to a BIND server that is configured as a caching resolver could use this flaw to cause named to exit with an assertion failure. (CVE-2011-1910)

All BIND users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve this issue. After installing the update, the BIND daemon (named) will be restarted automatically.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-11259

5. Bugs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

Title: DSA-2244-1 bind9 -- incorrect boundary condition
Description: It was discovered that BIND, an implementation of the DNS protocol, does not correctly process certain large RRSIG record sets in DNSSEC responses. The resulting assertion failure causes the name server process to crash, making name resolution unavailable. In addition, this update fixes handling of certain signed/unsigned zone combinations when a DLV service is used. Previously, data from certain affected zones could become unavailable from the resolver.
