Thanks Eric, Len and Edwin... I'm busy running the pkg_add as suggested by Len. I see that the vulnerability should be fixed in 4.3-RELEASE (which CDs I just recently received). I'll schedule a re-install with the 4.3 CDs ASAP. (I guess it's time I set my mind to implementing CVSup ?!?) Thanks once again for your quick and helpful responses! PS: I see a suggestion in the advisory that 'named' can be run unprivileged, and chrooted, etc. Would you consider this to be a good practice for security reasons, regardless of known vulnerabilities? (and a little later...) PPS: OK - the 'pkg_add -r bind' is done. Now pkg_info says I have version 9.1.3! I see the new 'named' is in /usr/local/sbin/, and after a reboot 'named -v' still reports v8.2.3. Any suggestions on the best way to hook it into /usr/sbin/? I could copy, move, hard/sym link? The original /usr/sbin/named (v8) is still in-situ. I'm guessing : % mv /usr/sbin/named /usr/sbin/named.8 # keep v823 for posterity % ln /usr/local/sbin/named /usr/sbin/named # link v913 into place Thanks, Patrick.
