1. Topic:

Several security problems have been found in the bind 8.2.2 series.

2. Problem description:

Some security problems, including a remotely exploitable information leak
allowing anyone to read the stack, have been found in bind versions prior
to 8.2.3.

3. Bug IDs fixed: (see bugzilla for more information)

25186 - Security problems

4. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Linux 5.2 - alpha, i386, sparc
Red Hat Linux 6.2 - alpha, i386, sparc
Red Hat Linux 7.0 - alpha, i386

5. RPMs required:

6. Solution:

To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:

rpm -Fvh filenames

where filenames is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those
RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are
not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you
can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directly *only* contains the
desired RPMs.

Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many
people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:

up2date

This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.

7. Verification:

These packages are GPG signed by Red Hat, Inc. for security. Our key is available at:
http://www.redhat.com/about/contact.html

You can verify each package with the following command: rpm --checksig filename

If you only wish to verify that each package has not been corrupted or tampered with, examine only the md5sum with the following command: rpm --checksig --nogpg filename

Note that you need RPM >= 3.0 to check GnuPG keys.
