Description:
ISC has released a new version of BIND 8, which fixes a vulnerability allowing malicious people to poison the DNS cache.
The problem is that negative answers may be cached from the wrong source. This can be exploited to cause a "Denial of Service" against certain domains, because BIND will read the wrongly cached negative answer instead of querying the right source.
Solution:
A DNS cache should only be accessible from specified IP addresses. A proper firewall filter will limit the possibilities of sending spoofed or fake answers to the DNS cache.
ISC has released BIND 8.3.7 and 8.4.3:
ftp://ftp.isc.org/isc/bind/src/8.3.7/
ftp://ftp.isc.org/isc/bind/src/8.4.3/
