RHBA-2012:0009 - bind bug fix update
Synopsis
bind bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
Updated bind packages that fix one bug 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 bug:
- The multi-threaded named daemon uses the atomic operations feature to speed-up an access to shared data. This feature did not work correctly on the 32-bit and 64-bit PowerPC architectures. Therefore, the named daemon sometimes became unresponsive on these architectures. This update disables the atomic operations feature on the 32-bit and 64-bit PowerPC architectures, which ensures that the named daemon is now more stable, reliable and no longer hangs. (BZ#769366)
All users of bind are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
