"According to its self-reported version number, the version of the
PowerDNS service listening on the remote host is prior to 2.9.18. It
is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities : 

  - A flaw exists due to improper escaping of LDAP queries.
  	A remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of
  	service condition or to conduct LDAP injection attacks.
  	(CVE-2005-2301)

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists when allowing
  	recursion to a restricted range of IP addresses due to
  	improper handling of questions from clients that are
  	denied a recursion. An attacker can exploit this to
  	prevent answers to those clients that are allowed to use
  	recursion. (CVE-2005-2302)

Note that Nessus has not attempted to exploit these issues but has
instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.");
