RHBA-2011:1836 - bind bug fix update

Synopsis

bind bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated bind packages that fix two bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

BIND (Berkeley Internet Name Domain) is an implementation of the DNS (Domain Name System) protocols. BIND includes a DNS server (named), which resolves host names to IP addresses; a resolver library (routines for applications to use when interfacing with the DNS server); and tools for verifying that the DNS server is operating properly.

This update fixes the following bugs:

  • Prior to this update, errors arising on automatic updates of DNSSEC trust anchors were handled incorrectly. Consequently, the named daemon could become unresponsive on shutdown. With this update, the error handling has been improved and named exits on shutdown gracefully. (BZ#758669)

  • Prior to this update, a race condition could occur on validation of DNSSEC-signed NXDOMAIN responses and the named daemon could terminate unexpectedly. With this update, the underlying code has been fixed and the race condition no longer occurs. (BZ#758670)

All users of bind are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs.

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 This content is not included.https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-11259
