Downloadable from: http://downloads.powerdns.com/releases/pdns-2.9.21.2.tar.gz http://downloads.powerdns.com/releases/deb/stable/pdns-static_2.9.21.2-1_i386.deb http://downloads.powerdns.com/releases/rpm/pdns-static-2.9.21.2-1.i386.rpm This release consists of a single patch to PowerDNS Authoritative Server version 2.9.21.1. In some configurations, notably with configuration option 'distributor-threads=1', the PowerDNS Authoritative Server crashes easily in some error conditions. All users are urged to upgrade. Even though PowerDNS restarts itself on encountering such error conditions, and even though most PowerDNS configurations do not run in single threaded mode, an upgrade is recommended. More detauls: Daniel Drown discovered that his PowerDNS 2.9.21.1 installation crashed on receiving a HINFO CH query. In his enthousiasm, he shared his discovery with the world, forcing a rapid over the weekend release cycle. While we thank Daniel for his discovery, please study our security policy as outlined in http://doc.powerdns.com/security-policy.html before making vulnerabilities public. It is believed that this issue only impacts PowerDNS Authoritative Servers operating with 'distributor-threads=1', but even on other configurations a database reconnect occurs on receiving a CH HINFO query. -- http://www.PowerDNS.com Open source, database driven DNS Software http://netherlabs.nl Open and Closed source services _______________________________________________ Pdns-users mailing list Pdns-users@mailman.powerdns.com http://mailman.powerdns.com/mailman/listinfo/pdns-users
