RHBA-2014:1373 - bind bug fix and enhancement update

Synopsis

bind bug fix and enhancement update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

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

Description

BIND (Berkeley Internet Name Domain) is an implementation of the Domain Name System (DNS) 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 DNS); and tools for verifying that the DNS server is operating correctly.

These updated bind packages include numerous bug fixes and enhancements. Space precludes documenting all of these changes in this advisory. Users are directed to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.6 Technical Notes for information on the most significant of these changes:

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/6.6_Technical_Notes/bind.html#RHBA-2014-1373

Users of bind are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs and add these enhancements. After installing the update, the BIND daemon (named) will be restarted automatically.

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/articles/11258
