+ <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.

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

+ 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 "&gt;=net-dns/pdns-2.9.21.2"</code>
