Gerfried Fuchs uploaded new packages for pdns-recursor which fixed the
following security problems:
CVE-2009-4009
A buffer overflow can be exploited to crash the daemon, or potentially
execute arbitrary code.
CVE-2009-4010
A cache poisoning vulnerability may allow attackers to trick the
server into serving incorrect DNS data.
For the etch-backports distribution the problems have been fixed in
version 3.1.7-1+lenny1~bpo40+1.
For the sid distribution the problems have been fixed in version
3.1.7.2-1.
If you don't use pinning (see [1]) you have to update the packages
manually via "apt-get -t lenny-backports install <packagelist>" with the
packagelist of your installed packages affected by this update.

We recommend to pin the backports repository to 200 so that new versions
of installed backports will be installed automatically:
Package: *
Pin: release a=etch-backports
Pin-Priority: 200
