bind bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated bind packages that fix several bugs are now available.

Description

BIND (Berkeley Internet Name Domain) is an implementation of the DNS
(Domain Name System) protocols. The bind package provides a DNS server
(named), which resolves host names to IP addresses, and tools for
control and verification of the DNS server. The bind-libs package
provides the libraries used by the DNS server and bind-utils. The
bind-utils package provides DNS lookup utilities: host(1), dig(1),
and nslookup. The bind-devel package provides header files for
development with the BIND libraries. A default set of DNS server
configuration files is provided by the caching-nameserver package.

This update delivers backports from ISC BIND 9.2.6 to apply these fixes:

• If a lookup for another name server's addresses returned addresses
  that were unreachable via local routers, lookups for names in domains
  for which that server is authoritative could experience a four second
  delay per name not in the cache. No delay is now incurred for addresses
  served by servers with unreachable addresses.
  
• Fixes to named's thread locking logic: This feature in ISC BIND 9.3.0+
  was backported and delivered in this update.
  
• edns-udp-size: Users can now set the maximum size of UDP packets used
  for EDNS0 (RFC 2671), to get past routers / firewalls that enforce a
  maximum UDP packet size.
  

Miscellaneous bug fixes, including improved support for custom named.conf
locations, are also delivered in this update.

All BIND users are advised to upgrade to the updated bind packages.
