Category:Red Hat Local Security Checks
Title:RedHat Update for bind97 RHSA-2011:1459-01
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'bind97'; package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'bind97'
package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
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.

A flaw was discovered in the way BIND handled certain DNS queries, which
caused it to cache an invalid record. A remote attacker could use this
flaw to send repeated queries for this invalid record, causing the
resolvers to exit unexpectedly due to a failed assertion. (CVE-2011-4313)

Users of bind97 are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
resolve this issue. After installing the update, the BIND daemon (named)
will be restarted automatically.

Affected Software/OS:
bind97 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server)

Solution:
Please Install the Updated Packages.
