<p>
ISC BIND is the Internet Systems Consortium implementation of the
Domain Name System (DNS) protocol.

<description>
<p>
Matthias Urlichs reported that the dns_db_findrdataset() function fails
when the prerequisite section of the dynamic update message contains a
record of type "ANY" and where at least one RRset for this FQDN exists
on the server.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
A remote unauthenticated attacker could send a specially crafted
dynamic update message to the BIND daemon (named), leading to a Denial
of Service (daemon crash). This vulnerability affects all primary
(master) servers -- it is not limited to those that are configured to
allow dynamic updates.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
Configure a firewall that performs Deep Packet Inspection to prevent
nsupdate messages from reaching named. Alternatively, expose only
secondary (slave) servers to untrusted networks.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All BIND users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=net-dns/bind-9.4.3_p3&quot;</code>
</resolution>
