Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory TSLSA-2002-0061.

From CERT Advisory CA-2002-19:
A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in multiple implementations
of DNS resolver libraries. Operating systems and applications that
utilize vulnerable DNS resolver libraries may be affected. A remote
attacker who is able to send malicious DNS responses could potentially
exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial
of service on a vulnerable system.

As the named daemon is not vulnerable to this problem, we don't consider
this bug to be critical. Nevertheless we have chosen to upgrade.

Solution:
Update your system with the packages as indicated in
the referenced security advisory.
