Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.53017
Category:FreeBSD Local Security Checks
Title:FreeBSD Security Advisory (FreeBSD-SA-05:12.bind9.asc)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update to the system; as announced in the referenced advisory FreeBSD-SA-05:12.bind9.asc
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update to the system
as announced in the referenced advisory FreeBSD-SA-05:12.bind9.asc

Vulnerability Insight:
BIND 9 is an implementation of the Domain Name System (DNS) protocols.
The named(8) daemon is the Internet domain name server. DNS Security
Extensions (DNSSEC) are additional protocol options that add
authentication and integrity to the DNS protocols.

DNSSEC is not enabled by default in any FreeBSD release. A system
administrator must take special action to enable DNSSEC.

A DNSSEC-related validator function in BIND 9.3.0 contains an
inappropriate internal consistency test. When this test is triggered,
named(8) will exit.

Solution:
Upgrade your system to the appropriate stable release
or security branch dated after the correction date.
