Here’s a some news – CVE-2011-4313 with a CVE rating of 7.8 – BIND 9 Resolver crashes after logging an error in query.c. Here is the original post: http://www.isc.org/software/bind/advisories/cve-2011-4313.
Here’s the description:
An as-yet unidentified network event caused BIND 9 resolvers to cache an invalid record, subsequent queries for which could crash the resolvers with an assertion failure. ISC is working on determining the ultimate cause by which a record with this particular inconsistency is cached.At this time we are making available a patch which makes named recover gracefully from the inconsistency, preventing the abnormal exit.
Easy fix? Upgrade BIND to one of the following patched versions: BIND 9.8.1-P1, 9.7.4-P1, 9.6-ESV-R5-P1, 9.4-ESV-R5-P1

…yeah baby - that’s the fragrance of LOVE! …
I’ll admit I haven’t read through the whole article in the link below, but the government legally hacked someone? The fact that “legal” and “hacked” appear in the same sentence is a little concerning.
That being said, it is feasible that there are times when something like this might need to happen – National Security etc – and this was with reference to Wikileaks …but, what rights do we really have? Are liberties taken, or do we even believe that the liberties should be taken.
My thought is it can go either way, but if you are going to take away someone’s right to privacy, there had better be a darn good reason. That being said, I’ve heard talk of traffic traveling over and IP (what a concept) doesn’t belong the the person that is using the IP, therefore, can be intercepted. Really? That’s a little low don’t you think?
Soap box aside, like I said this conversation could go either way, here’s the link. See what you think about it – here, courtesy of the Guardian, UK.
