======================================================================

Multiple vulnerabilities exist in the versions of BIND found in
Slackware
7.1 and -current.  Users of BIND 8.x are urged to upgrade to 8.2.3 to
fix
these problems.  More information can be found on the BIND website:

   http://www.isc.org/products/BIND/

... and in the CERT Advisory CA-2001-02 - Multiple Vulnerabilities in
BIND:

   http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2001-02.html

By upgrading to BIND 8.2.3, users can fix these problems.

  INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE bind.tgz PACKAGE:
  ---------------------------------------------------
  Be sure to backup your name server configuration files
(/etc/named.conf
  and the /var/named directory) for safe measure.  Then stop the name
  server:

         # ndc stop

  Now run upgradepkg on the new BIND package:

         # upgradepkg bind.tgz

  The name server can now be restarted:

         # ndc start



Remember, it's also a good idea to backup configuration files before
upgrading packages.
