<title>PowerDNS: Multiple vulnerabilities</title>
<synopsis>
Two vulnerabilities have been discovered in PowerDNS, possibly leading to a
Denial of Service and easing cache poisoning attacks.

<package name="net-dns/pdns" auto="yes" arch="*">

</package>
</affected>
<background>
<p>
The PowerDNS Nameserver is an authoritative-only nameserver which uses
a flexible backend architecture.

<description>
<p>
Daniel Drown reported an error when receiving a HINFO CH query
(CVE-2008-5277). Brian J. Dowling of Simplicity Communications
discovered a previously unknown security implication of the PowerDNS
behavior to not respond to certain queries it considers malformed
(CVE-2008-3337).
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
A remote attacker could send specially crafted queries to cause a
Denial of Service. The second vulnerability in itself does not pose a
security risk to PowerDNS Nameserver. However, not answering a query
for an invalid DNS record within a valid domain allows for a larger
spoofing window on third-party nameservers for domains being hosted by
PowerDNS Nameserver itself.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All PowerDNS users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-dns/pdns-2.9.21.2"</code>
</resolution>
