Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian....@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock
Please unblock package bind9
1) a rebase bind9 for wheezy to 9.8.4 will make security maintenance a
lot easier going forward. To properly fix bugs - some security and
basic functionaliy, upstream have changed data structure code, and some
flags. Makes patching tricky (see below).
2) Bug #690569 DNS wildcards fail to resolve with DNSsec enabled - a
basic DNS protocol bug. To get DNS resolving going have to turn off
DNSSEC validation - a bit of a thinko. Found there were too many
changes to 9.8.x ISC upstream since 9.8.1-P3 for me to consider patching
it reliably. ISC don't give access to their VCS.
Note: also fixes CVE-2012-4244
Note: libdns81, libisc83 are updated to libdns88 and libisc84 in
upstream.
Thank you for looking into this. I really appreciate your time and
dedication to Debian.
Best Regards,
Matthew Grant
