A local vulnerability was discovered that would allow for a local symlink attack due to how NSD handles PID files.
A local attacker could cause a Denial of Service condition.
There is no known workaround at this time.
All NSD users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-dns/nsd-4.3.4"
OS | Version | Architecture | Package | Version | Filename |
