                   Red Hat, Inc. Red Hat Security Advisory

Synopsis:          Updated bind packages available
Advisory ID:       RHSA-2001:007-03
Issue date:        2001-01-29
Updated on:        2001-01-29
Product:           Red Hat Linux
Keywords:          bind remote exploit
Cross references:  
Obsoletes:         
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Topic:

Several security problems have been found in the bind 8.2.2 series.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Linux 5.2 - alpha, i386, sparc

Red Hat Linux 6.2 - alpha, i386, sparc

Red Hat Linux 7.0 - alpha, i386

3. Problem description:

Some security problems, including a remotely exploitable information leak 
allowing anyone to read the stack, have been found in bind versions prior 
to 8.2.3.

4. Solution:

To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:

rpm -Fvh <filenames>

where <filenames> is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade.  Only those
RPMs which are currently installed will be updated.  Those RPMs which are
not installed but included in the list will not be updated.  Note that you
can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directly *only* contains the
desired RPMs.

Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network.  Many
people find this an easier way to apply updates.  To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:

up2date

This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.
