Vulnerability Insight: New bind packages are available for Slackware 12.0, 12.1, 12.2, 13.0, 13.1, 13.37, and -current to fix security issues.

Prevents a named assert (crash) when validating caused by using 'Bad cache' data before it has been initialized. [RT #30025] ISC_QUEUE handling for recursive clients was updated to address a race condition that could cause a memory leak. This rarely occurred with UDP clients, but could be a significant problem for a server handling a steady rate of TCP queries. [RT #29539 & #30233] Under heavy incoming TCP query loads named could experience a memory leak which could lead to significant reductions in query response or cause the server to be terminated on systems with 'out of memory' killers. [RT #29539] A condition has been corrected where improper handling of zero-length RDATA could cause undesirable behavior, including termination of the named process. [RT #29644] (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Affected Software/OS: 'bind' package(s) on Slackware 12.0, Slackware 12.1, Slackware 12.2, Slackware 13.0, Slackware 13.1, Slackware 13.37, Slackware current.
