RHBA-2013:0136 - 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 5.

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.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Previously, the "named" name service daemon could terminate unexpectedly due to a race condition in the socket module. This race condition has been fixed and the "named" daemon no longer crashes. (BZ#885731)

Users of bind are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.

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
