Summary:

Software Description:

Details:

It was discovered that Bind incorrectly handled certain bad signatures if
multiple trust anchors existed for a single zone. A remote attacker could
use this flaw to cause Bind to stop responding, resulting in a denial of
service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 8.04 LTS and 10.04 LTS.
(CVE-2010-3762)

Frank Kloeker and Michael Sinatra discovered that Bind incorrectly handled
certain very large RRSIG RRsets included in negative responses. A remote
attacker could use this flaw to cause Bind to stop responding, resulting in
a denial of service. (CVE-2011-1910)

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
