Upgrade bind to 8.2.3-rel. The latest bind security advisories mention that named can be crashed with potential exploits that will allow root access. I am not sure if there is a root exposure in FreeBSD, but it is annoying to have to restart DNS whenever some kiddie knocks on the door. There may be a script kiddie package as I have been hit on servers in 5 states on three different network providers. I cvsupd to 3.5-stable and went thru buildworld/installworld just to be safe. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Matthew Emmerton Sent: Tuesday, February 13, 2001 1:20 AM To: Ted Mittelstaedt Cc: Scott Hyjek; 'freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG' Subject: Re: Question: bind / named problem On Mon, 12 Feb 2001, Ted Mittelstaedt wrote: > Quoting Scott Hyjek <SHyjek@rbmg.com>: > > > Any information or guidance would be appreciated.
