Since the big BIND vulnerability, I checked all my versions of BIND
to make sure they weren't the 8.2.2 variety. None were.
Most returned: named 8.2.3-T6B Thu Nov 23 19:00:06 EST 2000
Which is not supposed to be vulnerable.
Not too long after the exploit became publically widespread, I
noticed that my bind was randomly crashing. This machine had run for
months without any sort of bind problem. I should kept the core files
but I did notice that they segfaulted at location 0x41414141.
This looked a little suspicious to me so I immediately cvsuped. The
new version is: named 8.2.3-REL Sun Feb 18 11:47:44 EST 2001 and has
not crashed since the 18th when I compiled it. Before it was crashing
daily.
Any ideas if named 8.2.3-T6B in 4.2-RELEASE has problems?
-Michael
