Hi guys,

Could someone please give me a hand with this bug #425753?


Sam's 'security only' patches applied cleanly. See attachment.

I've uploaded the patched packages here:
http://static.natalian.org/2007-05-26/


Sam says on #425753:
"""
The impact of this security hole is: Remote denial of service.  In more
detail, the security problem allows a remote attacker to cause MaraDNS
to allocate an arbitrary large amount of memory.
"""

I think these bugs are serious enough to warrant a security update, as
per: http://release.debian.org/stable/4.0/4.0r1/

Best wishes,
