The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory RHSA-2009:1179.
The Berkeley Internet Name Domain (BIND) is an implementation of the Domain
Name System (DNS) protocols. BIND includes a DNS server (named), a resolver
library (routines for applications to use when interfacing with DNS), and
tools for verifying that the DNS server is operating correctly.
A flaw was found in the way BIND handles dynamic update message packets
containing the ANY record type. A remote attacker could use this flaw to
send a specially-crafted dynamic update packet that could cause named to
exit with an assertion failure. (CVE-2009-0696)
Note: even if named is not configured for dynamic updates, receiving such
a specially-crafted dynamic update packet could still cause named to exit
unexpectedly.
All BIND users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain a backported patch to resolve this issue. After installing the
update, the BIND daemon (named) will be restarted automatically.
