Bug#516394: Is there a plan to get djbdns again into testing
Hi, I'd love to have djbdns package back in Debian. What's the status of this bug? I've read all links from this bug report (and its replies) and it seems to me that the problem is a DNS protocol problem, not djbdns (it seems that tere isn't even an exploit). From the djbdns list you can extract that this bug has been present in all DNS software from the beginning (in fact, DJB disclosed the problem publicly circa 1999), so it doesn't seem breaking news at all. So, the *real* problem here for the security guys is that now djbdns is *more* vulnerable than other DNS software? Would they mind to propose a way to have djbdns back in testing? I think that there is a quite bunch of people using djbdns, and it would be very nice to have it packaged for Debian. Thanks a lot. -- L.
