Title:	CentOS Update for bind-dyndb-ldap CESA-2012:0683 centos6
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'bind-dyndb-ldap'; package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'bind-dyndb-ldap' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. Vulnerability Insight: The dynamic LDAP back end is a plug-in for BIND that provides back-end capabilities to LDAP databases. It features support for dynamic updates and internal caching that help to reduce the load on LDAP servers. A flaw was found in the way bind-dyndb-ldap handled LDAP query errors. If a remote attacker were able to send DNS queries to a named server that is configured to use bind-dyndb-ldap, they could trigger such an error with a DNS query leveraging bind-dyndb-ldap's insufficient escaping of the LDAP base DN (distinguished name). This would result in an invalid LDAP query that named would retry in a loop, preventing it from responding to other DNS queries. With this update, bind-dyndb-ldap only attempts to retry one time when an LDAP search returns an unexpected error. (CVE-2012-2134) Red Hat would like to thank Ronald van Zantvoort for reporting this issue. All bind-dyndb-ldap users should upgrade to this updated package, which contains a backported patch to correct this issue. For the update to take effect, the named service must be restarted. Affected Software/OS: bind-dyndb-ldap on CentOS 6 Solution: Please install the updated packages. CVSS Score: 4.3 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P
