PowerDNS Recursor 3.x < 3.1.7.2 Multiple Vulnerabilities

Description

According to its self-reported version number, the version of the PowerDNS Recursor listening on the remote host is version 3.x prior to 3.1.7.2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities : - A buffer overflow condition exists that allows a remote attacker, via crafted packets, to cause a daemon crash, resulting in a denial of service condition. (CVE-2009-4009) - An unspecified flaw exists that allows a remote attacker to spoof DNS data via crafted zones. (CVE-2009-4010) Note that Nessus has not attempted to exploit these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
