It was discovered that pdns-recursor, the PowerDNS recursive name server, contains several vulnerabilities:
A buffer overflow can be exploited to crash the daemon, or potentially execute arbitrary code (CVE-2009-4009).
A cache poisoning vulnerability may allow attackers to trick the server into serving incorrect DNS data (CVE-2009-4010).
For the old stable distribution (etch), fixed packages will be provided soon.
For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in version 3.1.7-1+lenny1.
For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in version 3.1.7.2-1.
