A security vulnerability has been discovered in ldns, a library and collection of utilities for DNS programming.

CVE-2017-1000231

The generic parser contained a double-free vulnerability which resulted in an application crash with unspecified impacts and attack vectors.

For Debian 7 ‘Wheezy’, these problems have been fixed in version 1.6.13-1+deb7u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your ldns packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
