Package : mydns
Vulnerability : missing input sanitising
Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CVE-2006-0351
BugTraq ID : 16431
Debian Bug : 348826

NISCC reported that MyDNS, a DNS server using an SQL database for data
storage, can be tricked into an infinite loop by a remote attacker and
hence cause a denial of service condition.

The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain mydns packages.

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in
version 1.0.0-4sarge1.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 1.1.0+pre-3.

We recommend that you upgrade your mydns package.
