Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.831498
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandriva Update for bind MDVA-2011:083 (bind)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'bind'; package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'bind'
package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
The default configuration (and compiled in) options for ISC BIND uses
DNSSEC per default which under certain circumstances can result in
huge latencies due to the overhead of trying to validate each lookup,
and every time. This has now been disabled in the configuration file
(/var/lib/named/etc/named.conf) for performance reasons but can
easily be enabled again. Please have a look at the dnssec-enable
and dnssec-validation configuration options and set the preferred
method there.

Affected Software/OS:
bind on Mandriva Linux 2010.1,
Mandriva Linux 2010.1/X86_64,
Mandriva Enterprise Server 5,
Mandriva Enterprise Server 5/X86_64

Solution:
Please Install the Updated Packages.
