Title:Debian: Security Advisory (DSA-4424-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'pdns' package(s) announced via the DSA-4424-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'pdns' package(s) announced via the DSA-4424-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Adam Dobrawy, Frederico Silva and Gregory Brzeski from HyperOne.com discovered that pdns, an authoritative DNS server, did not properly validate user-supplied data when building a HTTP request from a DNS query in the HTTP Connector of the Remote backend. This would allow a remote user to cause either a denial-of-service, or information disclosure.

For the stable distribution (stretch), this problem has been fixed in version 4.0.3-1+deb9u4.

We recommend that you upgrade your pdns packages.

For the detailed security status of pdns please refer to its security tracker page at: [link moved to references]

Affected Software/OS:
'pdns' package(s) on Debian 9.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
