BIND Dynamic Update DoS

[enginaar]

Hello,

There is a vulnerability on all versions of bind 9 as you can see on the link below.

https://www.isc.org/node/474

I wonder 2 things.
1) Can csf help to protect from dos attacks based on this vulnerability.
2) I'm running Centos 5.2 and there is only 9.3.4 version available on yum for bind. How can I update bind to the recommended versions?

Thanks.

upgrade to 5.3 then try to upgrade bind as well to the latest version.

You should see:

[root@server public_html]# rpm -q bind
bind-9.3.4-10.P1.el5_3.3

RedHat does not change whole version numbers when they patch things.

So you say it has been patched against the vulnerability although the version number doesn't change?

The 9.3.4 does not change but the -10.P1.el5_3.3 does change. I believe the P stands for "patch."
