[SECURITY] Fedora Core 6 Update: perl-Net-DNS-0.60-1.fc6
--------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2007-609 2007-07-02 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Product : Fedora Core 6 Name : perl-Net-DNS Version : 0.60 Release : 1.fc6 Summary : DNS resolver modules for Perl Description : Net::DNS is a collection of Perl modules that act as a Domain Name System (DNS) resolver. It allows the programmer to perform DNS queries that are beyond the capabilities of gethostbyname and gethostbyaddr. The programmer should be somewhat familiar with the format of a DNS packet and its various sections. See RFC 1035 or DNS and BIND (Albitz & Liu) for details. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: This brings FC-6 up to date with the latest changes to Net::DNS. See the project page here: http://search.cpan.org/~olaf/Net-DNS-0.60/ The change for this upstream issue is included: http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=23961 Since this fix has security implications (making DNS spoofing more difficult), pushing updates to all current versions of fedora. Note - I know of no exploits for the security issue described above. --------------------------------------------------------------------- * Sat Jun 23 2007 Robin Norwood <rnorwood@redhat.com> - 0.60-1 - Upgrade to latest upstream version - 0.60 - Included changes from 0.59-2 in F-7: - Fixed issues brought up during package review - BuildRequires should not require perl, and fixed the format. - Fixed the BuildRoot --------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be downloaded from: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/6/ 432cd57038dd20912216ab3ff194ded9b2fe068a SRPMS/perl-Net-DNS-0.60-1.fc6.src.rpm 432cd57038dd20912216ab3ff194ded9b2fe068a noarch/perl-Net-DNS-0.60-1.fc6.src.rpm 2c5fcc38913ae3c786b9707f03647ee80fe41701 ppc/perl-Net-DNS-0.60-1.fc6.ppc.rpm 89fb749cd70a563261afc203db0ef327742716cd ppc/debug/perl-Net-DNS-debuginfo-0.60-1.fc6.ppc.rpm a6449ee5b2b914d38c97b7cfce9f6bcc61588ec7 x86_64/debug/perl-Net-DNS-debuginfo-0.60-1.fc6.x86_64.rpm d282c04fc4d1b1eb1fcfe9ccc22124ccea7a5ae2 x86_64/perl-Net-DNS-0.60-1.fc6.x86_64.rpm 33d8c4bf57a23555f6e38fdb8de2f7dc2e1de373 i386/perl-Net-DNS-0.60-1.fc6.i386.rpm 761221bf5f4726865eb30ff6d97c02482475e216 i386/debug/perl-Net-DNS-debuginfo-0.60-1.fc6.i386.rpm This update can be installed with the 'yum' update program.
