Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.63274
Category:SuSE Local Security Checks
Title:SuSE Security Advisory SUSE-SA:2009:005 (bind)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:
The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory SUSE-SA:2009:005.

The DNS daemon bind is used to resolve and lookup addresses on the
internet. Some month ago a vulnerability in the DNS protocol and
its numbers was published that allowed easy spoofing of DNS entries.
The only way to protect against spoofing is to use DNSSEC.
Unfortunately the bind code that verifys the certification chain of a DNS-
SEC zone transfer does not properly check the return value of function
DSA_do_verify(). This allows the spoofing of records signed with DSA or
NSEC3DSA.

Solution:
Update your system with the packages as indicated in
the referenced security advisory.
