Description

The remote host is missing an update to pdns announced via advisory DSA 771-1.

Several problems have been discovered in pdns, a versatile nameserver that can lead to a denial of service. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:

CVE-2005-2301

Norbert Sendetzky and Jan de Groot discoverd that the LDAP backend did not properly escape all queries, allowing it to fail and not answer queries anymore.

CVE-2005-2302

Wilco Baan discovered that queries from clients without recursion permission can temporarily blank out domains to clients with recursion permitted. This enables outside users to blank out a domain temporarily to normal users.

The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain pdns packages.
