Synopsis:    Important: bind security update
Issue Date:  2011-07-07
CVE Numbers: CVE-2011-2464


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 requests. A
remote attacker could use this flaw to send a specially-crafted DNS 
request packet to BIND, causing it to exit unexpectedly due to a failed 
assertion. (CVE-2011-2464)

After installing the update, the BIND daemon (named) will be restarted 
automatically.
