<p>ldns is a fast DNS library with the goal to simplify DNS programming and
to allow developers to easily create software conforming to current RFCs
and Internet drafts.

<impact type="normal">
<p>A remote attacker could execute arbitrary code or cause a Denial of
Service condition with a crafted Resource Record.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>All ldns users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-libs/ldns-1.6.11"
</code>
<p>Packages which depend on this library may need to be recompiled. Tools
such as revdep-rebuild may assist in identifying these packages.
</p>
<p>NOTE: This is a legacy GLSA. Updates for all affected architectures are
available since October 11, 2011. It is likely that your system is
already no longer affected by this issue.
