[SECURITY] Fedora Core 6 Update: perl-Net-DNS-0.60-1.fc6
- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2007-609 2007-07-02 -

Product    : Fedora Core 6 Name       : perl-Net-DNS Version    : 0.60 Release    : 1.fc6 Summary    : DNS resolver modules for Perl Description : Net::DNS is a collection of Perl modules that act as a Domain Name System (DNS) resolver. It allows the programmer to perform DNS queries that are beyond the capabilities of gethostbyname and gethostbyaddr.

The programmer should be somewhat familiar with the format of a DNS packet and its various sections. See RFC 1035 or DNS and BIND (Albitz & Liu) for details.

- Update Information:

This brings FC-6 up to date with the latest changes to Net::DNS. See the project page here:

http://search.cpan.org/~olaf/Net-DNS-0.60/

The change for this upstream issue is included:

http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=23961

Since this fix has security implications (making DNS spoofing more difficult), pushing updates to all current versions of fedora.

Note - I know of no exploits for the security issue described above. - - Upgrade to latest upstream version - 0.60 - Included changes from 0.59-2 in F-7: - Fixed issues brought up during package review - BuildRequires should not require perl, and fixed the format. - Fixed the BuildRoot
