Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'bind9' package(s) announced via the DSA-2517-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Einar Lonn discovered that under certain conditions bind9, a DNS server, may use cached data before initialization. As a result, an attacker can trigger an assertion failure on servers under high query load that do DNSSEC validation. For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 1:9.7.3.dfsg-1~ squeeze6. For the testing distribution (wheezy), this problem will be fixed soon. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 1:9.8.1.dfsg.P1-4.2. We recommend that you upgrade your bind9 packages. Affected Software/OS: 'bind9' package(s) on Debian 6. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 7.8 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C
