Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory RHSA-2009:0020.

A flaw was discovered in the way BIND checked the return value of the

validation, allowing spoofing attacks. (CVE-2009-0025)

For users of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 this update also addresses a bug
which can cause BIND to occasionally exit with an assertion failure.

All BIND users are advised to upgrade to the updated package, which
contains a backported patch to resolve this issue. After installing the
update, BIND daemon will be restarted automatically.

Please note that this update is available via
Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red
Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date
