- Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 11.10
- Ubuntu 11.04

Summary:

Bind could be made to crash if it received specially crafted network
traffic.

Software Description:
- bind9: Internet Domain Name Server

Details:

Dan Luther discovered that Bind incorrectly handled zero length rdata
fields. A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause Bind to crash or
behave erratically, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2012-1667)

It was discovered that Bind incorrectly handled revoked domain names. A
remote attacker could use this flaw to cause malicious domain names to be
continuously resolvable even after they have been revoked. (CVE-2012-1033)

package versions:
