Description:
libnet-dns-perl - Perform DNS queries from a Perl script
Closes: 457445
Changes:
libnet-dns-perl (0.59-1etch1) stable-security; urgency=high
.
* Malformed A records could lead to a Perl exception and program crash
(CVE-2007-6341). Closes: #457445.
* A very weak random number generator was used for transaction IDs
(CVE-2007-3377).
Perl's rand() is used in the patch against this vulnerability--it is
initialized from /dev/urandom, but the underlying LCG has only got 48
bits of state, so at the very least, a brute-force attack is still
possible if an attacker has got three subsequently generated
transaction IDs.
* The Perl implementation of dn_expand could recurse infinitely
(CVE-2007-3409). (On Debian systems, the C version is typically
used.)
