The Internet Systems Consortium, released a bulletin yesterday pertaining to a possible hole in Berkeley Internet Name Domain software. This is a popular domain name service software that is used on computer networks. Simply put a domain name service converts domain names like anetcomputers.com to a web server Internet protocol address.
A possible denial of service flaw was found in following versions of Berkeley Internet Name Domain software:
BIND 9.1.0 to 9.8.x
BIND 9.9.0 to 9.9.7-P1
BIND 9.10.0 to 9.10.2-P2
This is a critical exploit that can be accessed remotely. Server administrators should upgrade to a patched version as soon as possible. You should install one of a following versions of BIND to solve this potential security hole risk:
BIND 9 version 9.9.7-P2
BIND 9 version 9.10.2-P3
You can download one of these patches from this Internet Systems Consortium downloads page. There are Windows thirty two bit, Windows sixty four bit, and zipped tar file downloads available.
