from ISC. These patched versions contain a critical bugfix:
Processing of DNS resource records where the rdata field is zero length
may cause various issues for the servers handling them.
Processing of these records may lead to unexpected outcomes. Recursive
servers may crash or disclose some portion of memory to the client.
Secondary servers may crash on restart after transferring a zone
containing these records. Master servers may corrupt zone data if the
zone option "auto-dnssec" is set to "maintain". Other unexpected
problems that are not listed here may also be encountered.
All BIND users are strongly encouraged to upgrade.
the latest from ISC. These versions all contain the following:
Feature Change
* BIND now recognizes the TLSA resource record type, created to
support IETF DANE (DNS-based Authentication of Named Entities)
[RT #28989]
Bug Fix
* The locking strategy around the handling of iterative queries
has been tuned to reduce unnecessary contention in a multi-
threaded environment.
Each version also contains other critical bug fixes.
All BIND users are encouraged to upgrade to these latest versions.
For the port, switch to using the PORTDOCS macro.
Also, switch to the (identical) pkg-message in ../bind97 which was apparently missed
when the other ports were converted.

following DDOS bug:
Recursive name servers are failing with an assertion:
INSIST(! dns_rdataset_isassociated(sigrdataset))
At this time it is not thought that authoritative-only servers
are affected, but information about this bug is evolving rapidly.
Because it may be possible to trigger this bug even on networks
that do not allow untrusted users to access the recursive name
servers (perhaps via specially crafted e-mail messages, and/or
malicious web sites) it is recommended that ALL operators of
recursive name servers upgrade immediately.

This update addresses the following vulnerability:
CVE-2011-2464
=============
Severity: High
Exploitable: Remotely
Description:
A defect in the affected BIND 9 versions allows an attacker to remotely
cause the "named" process to exit using a specially crafted packet. This
defect affects both recursive and authoritative servers. The code location
of the defect makes it impossible to protect BIND using ACLs configured
within named.conf or by disabling any features at compile-time or run-time.

1. Very large RRSIG RRsets included in a negative cache can trigger
an assertion failure that will crash named (BIND 9 DNS) due to an
off-by-one error in a buffer size check.
This bug affects all resolving name servers, whether DNSSEC validation
is enabled or not, on all BIND versions prior to today. There is a
possibility of malicious exploitation of this bug by remote users.
2. Named could fail to validate zones listed in a DLV that validated
insecure without using DLV and had DS records in the parent zone.
Add a patch provided by ru@ and confirmed by ISC to fix a crash at
shutdown time when a SIG(0) key is being used.
All 9.6 users with DNSSEC validation enabled should upgrade to this
version, or the latest version in the 9.7 branch, prior to 2011-03-31 in
order to avoid validation failures for names in .COM as described here:
https://www.isc.org/announcement/bind-9-dnssec-validation-fails-new-ds-record
In addition the fixes for this and other bugs, there are also the following:
* Various fixes to kerberos support, including GSS-TSIG
* Various fixes to avoid leaking memory, and to problems that could prevent
a clean shutdown of named

1. Cache incorrectly allows ncache and rrsig for the same type
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2010-3613
Affects resolver operators whose servers are open to potential
attackers. Triggering the bug will cause the server to crash.
This bug applies even if you do not have DNSSEC enabled.
2. Using "allow-query" in the "options" or "view" statements to
restrict access to authoritative zones has no effect.
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2010-3615
Affects authoritative server operators who wish to generally
restrict queries to their authoritative zones, and are running
9.6.2-P2 or any version of 9.7.x. The bug will allow unauthorized
end users to receive answers to queries they should not.
For the port:
1. Add CONFLICT for the ../bind-tools port
2. Remove CONFLICT for the removed ../bind9 port
3. Remove OPTION for threads on < RELENG_7
4. Switch to pkg-install to create the symlinks to /etc/namedb/ as
requested in [1]

This fix is only necessary for those who have DNSSEC validation
enabled and configure trust anchors from third parties, either
manually, or through a system like DLV.

Receipt of a specially-crafted dynamic update message may
cause BIND 9 servers to exit. This vulnerability affects all
servers -- it is not limited to those that are configured to
allow dynamic updates. Access controls will not provide an
effective workaround.

the fix for the following vulnerability: https://www.isc.org/node/373
Description:
Return values from OpenSSL library functions EVP_VerifyFinal()
and DSA_do_verify() were not checked properly.
Impact:
It is theoretically possible to spoof answers returned from
zones using the DNSKEY algorithms DSA (3) and NSEC3DSA (6).
In short, if you're not using DNSSEC to verify signatures you have
nothing to worry about.
While I'm here, address the issues raised in the PR by adding a knob
to disable building with OpenSSL altogether (which eliminates DNSSEC
capability), and fix the configure arguments to better deal with the
situation where the user has ssl bits in both the base and LOCALBASE.

including performance improvement and port range specification."
When building on amd64 ports' configure doesn't properly recognize our

Submitted by: ivan jr sy <ivan_jr@yahoo.com> [1]
- performance improvement over the P1 releases, namely
+ significantly remedying the port allocation issues
+ allowing TCP queries and zone transfers while issuing as many
outstanding UDP queries as possible
+ additional security of port randomization at the same level as P1
- also includes fixes for several bugs in the 9.5.0 base code
of the UDP query-source ports. The server will still use the same query
port for the life of the process, so users for whom the issue of cache
poisoning is highly significant may wish to periodically restart their
server using /etc/rc.d/named restart, or other suitable method.
In order to take advantage of this randomization users MUST have an
appropriate firewall configuration to allow UDP queries to be sent and
answers to be received on random ports; and users MUST NOT specify a
port number using the query-source[-v6] option.
The avoid-v[46]-udp-ports options exist for users who wish to eliminate
certain port numbers from being chosen by named for this purpose. See
the ARM Chatper 6 for more information.
Also please note, this issue applies only to UDP query ports. A random
ephemeral port is always chosen for TCP queries.
This issue applies primarily to name servers whose main purpose is to
resolve random queries (sometimes referred to as "caching" servers, or
more properly as "resolving" servers), although even an "authoritative"
name server will make some queries, primarily at startup time.

Some of the important features of BIND 9 are:
DNS Security: DNSSEC (signed zones), TSIG (signed DNS requests)
IP version 6: Answers DNS queries on IPv6 sockets, IPv6 resource records (AAAA)
Experimental IPv6 Resolver Library
DNS Protocol Enhancements: IXFR, DDNS, Notify, EDNS0
Improved standards conformance
Views: One server process can provide multiple "views" of the DNS namespace,
e.g. an "inside" view to certain clients, and an "outside" view to others.
Multiprocessor Support, including working threads in this version
BIND 9.5 has a number of new features over previous versions, including:
GSS-TSIG support (RFC 3645), DHCID support
Experimental http server and statistics support for named via xml
More detailed statistics counters, compatible with the ones supported in BIND 8
Faster ACL processing
Efficient LRU cache cleaning mechanism.
NSID support (RFC 5001).
http://www.isc.org/index.pl?/sw/bind/bind8-eol.php
Therefore, per the previous announcement, remove the ports for BIND 8.
This includes the chinese/bind8 slave port, and mail/smc-milter which
has a dependency on libbind_r.a from BIND 8.x. The latter has been
unmaintained since 2005, and is 3 versions behind.

1. The default access control lists (acls) are not being
correctly set. If not set anyone can make recursive queries
and/or query the cache contents.
See also:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-2925
2. The DNS query id generation is vulnerable to cryptographic
analysis which provides a 1 in 8 chance of guessing the next
query id for 50% of the query ids. This can be used to perform
cache poisoning by an attacker.
This bug only affects outgoing queries, generated by BIND 9 to
answer questions as a resolver, or when it is looking up data
for internal uses, such as when sending NOTIFYs to slave name
servers.
All users are encouraged to upgrade.

do-configure target and set the shell variable _LATE_CONFIGURE_ARGS
which is then passed to CONFIGURE_ARGS.
- Remove --mandir and --infodir in ports' Makefile where applicable
Few ports use REINPLACE_CMD to achieve the same effect, remove them too.
- Correct some manual pages location from PREFIX/man to MANPREFIX/man
- Define INFO_PATH where necessary
- Document that .info files are installed in a subdirectory relative to
PREFIX/INFO_PATH and slightly change add-plist-info to use INFO_PATH and
subdirectory detection.
