-------------------------------------

   Linux-Mandrake Security Update

-------------------------------------

Package: bind

Affected versions: 6.1 7.0

Problem: By default bind is launched as user and group root. This
setting can give the possibility to easily exploit vulnerabities in
bind. Thanks to Nicolas MONNET  for his
contribution.

To upgrade automatically, use « MandrakeUpdate ». If you want to
upgrade manually, download the updated package from one of our FTP
server mirrors and uprade with "rpm -Uvh package_name". All mirrors
are listed on http://www.mandrake.com/en/ftp.php3 Updated packages are
available in the "updates/" directory.

For example, if you are looking for an updated RPM package for
Mandrake 7.0, look for it in: updates/7.0/RPMS/

Note: we give the md5 sum for each package. It lets you check the
integrity of the downloaded package by running the md5sum command on
the package ("md5sum package.rpm").
