Over the past two weeks, these vulnerabilities have been addressed, resulting in PowerDNS Recursor 3.1.7.2. Given the nature and magnitude of these vulnerabilities, ALL PowerDNS RECURSOR USERS ARE URGED TO UPGRADE AT THEIR EARLIEST CONVENIENCE. No versions of the PowerDNS Authoritative Server are affected. PowerDNS Recursor 3.1.7.2 as been thoroughly tested, and has in fact been in production for a week at some major sites already. No problems have been reported. 3.1.7.2 does not include anything other than security updates. The two major vulnerabilities can lead to a FULL SYSTEM COMPROMISE, as well as cache poisoning, connecting your users to possibly malicious IP addresses. These vulnerabilities were discovered by a third party that for now prefers not to be named. PowerDNS is however very grateful for their help. More details are available on: <a href="http://doc.powerdns.com/powerdns-advisory-2010-01.html" target="_blank">http://doc.powerdns.com/powerdns-advisory-2010-01.html</a> <a href="http://doc.powerdns.com/powerdns-advisory-2010-02.html" target="_blank">http://doc.powerdns.com/powerdns-advisory-2010-02.html</a> Debian, FreeBSD, Gentoo and SuSE are processing the changed packages, and will be releasing security updates shortly. Ubuntu does not provide security updates for PowerDNS, so Ubuntu users must take immediate action and download our packages.

Download the appropriate executable, rename to pdns_recursor, set the executable bit (chmod a+x pdns_recursor), and 'mv' the executable over /usr/sbin/pdns_recursor.
