CentOS Errata and Security Advisory CESA-2011:0845

The Berkeley Internet Name Domain (BIND) is an implementation of the Domain
Name System (DNS) protocols. BIND includes a DNS server (named); a resolver
library (routines for applications to use when interfacing with DNS); and
tools for verifying that the DNS server is operating correctly.

An off-by-one flaw was found in the way BIND processed negative responses
with large resource record sets (RRSets). An attacker able to send
recursive queries to a BIND server that is configured as a caching
resolver could use this flaw to cause named to exit with an assertion
failure. (CVE-2011-1910)

All BIND users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
resolve this issue. After installing the update, the BIND daemon (named)
will be restarted automatically.
