Debian DSA-4001-1 : yadifa - security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 103992

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

It was discovered that YADIFA, an authoritative DNS server, did not sufficiently check its input. This allowed a remote attacker to cause a denial-of-service by forcing the daemon to enter an infinite loop.

Solution

Upgrade the yadifa packages.

For the stable distribution (stretch), this problem has been fixed in version 2.2.3-1+deb9u1.
