Description David Walser 2012-06-06 22:44:23 CEST
Ubuntu has issued an advisory on June 5:
http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-1462-1/

Based on the info available from the CVEs, 2012-1667 was fixed recently in Cauldron as it was updated to 9.9.1-P1.  Mageia 1 and Mageia 2 are affected.

Debian has also issued an advisory for that CVE alone on June 5:
http://www.debian.org/security/2012/dsa-2486

As for 2012-1033, it is clear that Mageia 1 is affected.  It is not clear which other versions may be affected.

According to this Mageia 2 is not vulnerable to 2012-1033:

More information about 2012-1667 is here:

Comment 2 David Walser 2012-06-10 17:34:12 CEST
Mandriva has issued an advisory for this today (June 10):
http://www.mandriva.com/en/support/security/advisories/?dis=2010.1&name=MDVSA-2012:089
Comment 3 Guillaume Rousse 2012-06-11 11:57:51 CEST
According to my understanding:
mageia 2: bind 9.9.0 is vulnerable to CVE-2012-1667
mageia 1: bind 9.8.1P1 is vulnerable to CVE-2012-1667 and 2012-1033

Unfortunatly, I couldn't find any patches allowing to fix the issue, without upgrading to newer versions (9.9.1P1 and 9.8.3P1, respectively).
Comment 4 David Walser 2012-06-11 12:46:47 CEST
Mandriva's update just updated each to the newest release from the stable branch each was on, so I was already thinking we should do the same.
Comment 5 Guillaume Rousse 2012-06-12 21:52:41 CEST
I just submitted bind-9.9.1.P1-1.mga2 and bind-9.8.3.P1-1.mga1 in updates_testing.

Suggested advisory for mageia 1:
Dan Luther discovered that Bind incorrectly handled zero length rdata
fields. A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause Bind to crash or
behave erratically, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2012-1667)

It was discovered that Bind incorrectly handled revoked domain names. A
remote attacker could use this flaw to cause malicious domain names to be
continuously resolvable even after they have been revoked. (CVE-2012-1033)

The updated package have been upgraded to bind 9.8.3-P1, which fixes both issues.

Testing complete on Mageia 1 i586 for the srpm
bind-9.8.3P1-1.mga1.src.rpm

Just testing that the name server is working, using the commands host, dig
and nslookup.

I'll test Mageia 2 i586 shortly.

Testing complete on Mageia 2 i586 for the srpm
bind-9.9.1.P1-1.mga2.src.rpm

Note to other qa testers.  Don't forget to add a line to the start of
/etc/resolv.conf with
nameserver 127.0.0.1

Comment 9 claire robinson 2012-06-18 12:10:23 CEST
Testing complete x86_64 Mageia 2

I notice this also migrates the named service to systemd..

Migrating sysvinit service 'named' to systemd native unit 'named.service' via systemd install rules.

Service starts, stops and restarts ok.

Comment 11 Guillaume Rousse 2012-06-18 16:13:26 CEST
None of those updates should change anything to sysinit/systemd handling. If some change slipped in, then we are in troubles...
Comment 12 claire robinson 2012-06-18 16:48:18 CEST
Un-validating until you have checked then Guillaume.

Comment 13 David Walser 2012-06-18 21:28:00 CEST
No, nothing slipped in.  No changes were made to the services configuration.  The package ships with both a SysV init script and systemd service file.  That output message came from the "%_post_service named" scriplet.  It probably prints the same thing when upgrading from mga1, or at least it should.  It probably shouldn't print that message for subsequent package upgrades, but if it does, it would be a minor issue, and the issue would be in the rpm-helper package, not this one.  This one should be OK for release.

Thanks for checking David, Validating again
