announced by ISC dated 31 October (delivered via e-mail to the
bind-announce@isc.org list today):
Description:
Because of OpenSSL's recently announced vulnerabilities
(CAN-2006-4339, CVE-2006-2937 and CVE-2006-2940) which affect named,
we are announcing this workaround and releasing patches. A proof of
concept attack on OpenSSL has been demonstrated for CAN-2006-4339.
OpenSSL is required to use DNSSEC with BIND.
Fix for version 9.3.2-P1 and lower:
Upgrade to BIND 9.2.3-P2, then generate new RSASHA1 and
RSAMD5 keys for all old keys using the old default exponent
and perform a key rollover to these new keys.
These versions also change the default RSA exponent to be
65537 which is not vulnerable to the attacks described in
CAN-2006-4339.
several important fixes, including a remote (although unlikely) exploit.
See the CHANGES file for details.
All users of BIND 9 are highly encouraged to upgrade to this version.
Changes to the port include:
1. Remove ISC patch to 9.3.0 that addressed the remote exploit
2. Change to OPTIONS, and thereby
3. --enable-threads is now the default. Users report that the new thread
code in 9.3.x works significantly better than the old on all versions of
FreeBSD.
4. Add a temporary shim for the old PORT_REPLACES_BASE_BIND9 option.
The OPTIONS framework requires knobs to start with WITH_ or WITHOUT_
5. Remove patch that shoehorned named.conf.5 into the right place,
it has been fixed in the code.
Name: BIND: Self Check Failing [Added 2005.25.01]
Versions affected: BIND 9.3.0
Severity: LOW
Exploitable: Remotely
Type: Denial of Service
Description:
An incorrect assumption in the validator (authvalidated) can result in a
REQUIRE (internal consistancy) test failing and named exiting.
Workarounds:
Turn off dnssec validation (off by default) at the options/view level.
dnssec-enable no;
Active Exploits: None known
Bump PORTREVISION accordingly.
It should be noted that the vast majority of users would not have
DNSSEC enabled, and therefore are not vulnerable to this bug.
significant updates, not the least of which is the new and improved
DNSSEC code based on the latest standards (including DS).
Various updates to the port, including:
1. Download the PGP signature
2. If running on ${OSVERSION} >= 503000, configure with threads
3. Update pkg-descr re IPv6 RRs
4. Update pkg-message to reflect a world with 6-current
There is also a patch to correct a man page installation error.
This problem should be fixed in the next release.

The 9.2.3 code has many many bugs fixed from 9.2.2, check CHANGES
for more information.
The rc4 code has the delegation-only options. Check the ARM for
information on how to enable it.
is widely considered to be more stable than 9.2.1. I would have preferred
a -REL version, but better is better.
* Clean up the Makefile a little
* Just say no to threads
* Add the PORT_REPLACES_BASE magic, similar to the bind8 port
are fixed in this version, however BIND 9 is still recommended only
for early adopters, and those that have time to closely monitor
their name service.
* Change PORTNAME to bind9 so that 'pkg_add -r bind' does the right thing
* Use the local version of openssl, and disable threads on all but
the most recent -current. Thread support is still considered experimental.
