Title:	RedHat Update for bind97 RHSA-2013:0690-01
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'bind97'; package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'bind97' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. Vulnerability Insight: The Berkeley Internet Name Domain (BIND) is an implementation of the Domain Name System (DNS) protocols. BIND includes a DNS server (named), a resolver library (routines for applications to use when interfacing with DNS), and tools for verifying that the DNS server is operating correctly. A denial of service flaw was found in the libdns library. A remote attacker could use this flaw to send a specially-crafted DNS query to named that, when processed, would cause named to use an excessive amount of memory, or possibly crash. (CVE-2013-2266) Note: This update disables the syntax checking of NAPTR (Naming Authority Pointer) resource records. All bind97 users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a patch to correct this issue. After installing the update, the BIND daemon (named) will be restarted automatically. Affected Software/OS: bind97 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server) Solution: Please Install the Updated Packages. CVSS Score: 7.8 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C
