Bug#653838: Inadequate source of entropy in recursive queries: maradns

2012-01-14 Thread Sam Trenholme
To add even more confusion: I did a final tweak to the hash compression function yesterday. TL;DR summary: Use MaraDNS 1.3.07.14, 1.4.10, any 2.0 release, or apply this patch to an older release of MaraDNS: http://maradns.org/download/patches/maradns-1.3-better_hash.patch Long summary: I made

It's really old code and I did a much better job of it the second time around. Also: I'm not 100% satisfied with this hash compression function, and will update it one last time for the MaraDNS 1 branch. - Sam 2012/1/12 Julien Cristau : > On Sun, Jan  1, 2012 at 17:52:21 +, Nicholas Bamber w

As per the attached email, I wonder if you would be interested in point releases for the old versions of maradns to fix #653838 and what the relevant timescales would be. There is also the question of unarchiving and fixing #584587 in the lenny version whilst we still have the chance. --- Begin M
