New versions of BIND which contain a fix to prevent the red/black tree (RBT) race condition which was causing INSIST assertions in BIND 9.10.4 (and could potentially also have occurred in 9.9.9 and 9.9.9-S1) have been released. The public releases are available through the ISC website, https://www.isc.org/downloads In addition to the fix to prevent the RBT assertions, the new releases also contain changes to the Windows builds, correcting a problem which made installation difficult on some Windows versions due to an interaction with User Account Control (UAC) and and fixing a bug that could cause an assertion after an "rndc stats" command (on Windows only.) _______________________________________________ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
