    ISC BIND is the Internet Systems Consortium implementation of the
    Domain Name System (DNS) protocol.

  <description>
    <p>
    Matthias Urlichs reported that the dns_db_findrdataset() function fails
    when the prerequisite section of the dynamic update message contains a
    record of type "ANY" and where at least one RRset for this FQDN exists
    on the server.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote unauthenticated attacker could send a specially crafted
    dynamic update message to the BIND daemon (named), leading to a Denial
    of Service (daemon crash). This vulnerability affects all primary
    (master) servers -- it is not limited to those that are configured to
    allow dynamic updates.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    Configure a firewall that performs Deep Packet Inspection to prevent
    nsupdate messages from reaching named. Alternatively, expose only
    secondary (slave) servers to untrusted networks.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All BIND users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-dns/bind-9.4.3_p3"</code>
  </resolution>
