RHBA-2014:1373 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated bind packages that fix several bugs and add two enhancements are now
available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

BIND (Berkeley Internet Name Domain) is an implementation of the Domain
Name System (DNS) protocols. BIND includes a DNS server (named), which resolves
host names to IP addresses; a resolver library (routines for applications to use
when interfacing with DNS); and tools for verifying that the DNS server is
operating correctly.

These updated bind packages include numerous bug fixes and enhancements. Space
precludes documenting all of these changes in this advisory. Users are directed
to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.6 Technical Notes for information on the most
significant of these changes:

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/6.6_Technical_Notes/bind.html#RHBA-2014-1373

Users of bind are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these
bugs and add these enhancements. After installing the update, the BIND daemon
(named) will be restarted automatically.
