Gerfried Fuchs uploaded new packages for pdns which fixed the
following security problem:
CVE-2008-5277
Some PowerDNS Configurations can be forced to restart remotely through
receiving a HINFO CH query.
For the etch-backports distribution the problem has been fixed in
version 2.9.21.2-1~bpo40+1.
For the lenny and sid distributions the problem has been fixed in
version 2.9.21.2-1.
If you don't use pinning (see [1]) you have to update the packages
manually via "apt-get -t etch-backports install <packagelist>" with the
packagelist of your installed packages affected by this update.
[1] <http://backports.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=instructions>
We recommend to pin the backports repository to 200 so that new versions
of installed backports will be installed automatically:
Package: *
Pin: release a=etch-backports
Pin-Priority: 200
