[sflack-security] bind (SFSA:2007-207-01)

New bind packages are available for Sflack
11.0, and 12.0 to fix security issues.

The first issue which allows remote attackers to make recursive queries only
affects Sflack 12.0. More details about this issue may be found in the
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) database:

http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-2925

The second issue is the discovery that BIND9's query IDs are cryptographically
weak. This issue affects the versions of BIND9 in all supported Sflack
versions. More details about this issue may be found in the Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) database:

http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-2926


Here are the details from the Sflack 12.0 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/bind-9.4.1_P1-x86_64-1_sflack12.0.tgz:
Upgraded to bind-9.4.1_P1 to fix security issues.
The default access control lists allow remote attackers to make recursive
queries in BIND9 versions 9.4.0 through 9.4.1.
The query IDs in BIND9 prior to BIND 9.4.1-P1 are cryptographically weak.
