"According to its self-reported version number, the version of the
PowerDNS Recursor listening on the remote host is version 3.x prior to
3.1.4. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A buffer overflow condition exists that allows a remote
  	attacker, via a specially crafted TCP DNS query, to
  	prevent the Recursor from properly calculating the TCP
  	DNS query length, resulting in a denial of service
  	condition. (CVE-2006-4251)

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists that allows a
  	remote attacker, via a CNAME record with a zero TTL, to
  	cause a resource exhaustion, resulting in an application
  	crash. (CVE-2006-4252)

Note that Nessus has not attempted to exploit these issues but has
instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
Also, Nessus has not checked for the presence of the patches or a
workaround.");
