BIND (Berkeley Internet Name Domain) is an implementation of the
|
|
Domain Name System (DNS) protocols and provides an openly redistributable
|
|
reference implementation of the major components of the Domain Name
|
|
System, including:
|
|
|
|
* a Domain Name System server (named)
|
|
* a Domain Name System resolver library
|
|
* tools for verifying the proper operation of the DNS server
|
|
|
|
The BIND DNS Server is used on the vast majority of name serving machines
|
|
on the Internet, providing a robust and stable architecture on top of which
|
|
an organization's naming architecture can be built. The resolver library
|
|
included in the BIND distribution provides the standard APIs for translation
|
|
between domain names and Internet addresses and is intended to be linked with
|
|
applications requiring name service.

BIND Version 8.2.2 patchlevel 5 (Released November 12th, 1999)
|
|
|
|
If you are running any version of BIND prior to 8.2.2 patchlevel 5,
|
|
we recommend you upgrade to the current version for security reasons.
|
|
There is one potential remote access exploit fixed in this release,
|
|
and there are several fixes for various denial-of-service bugs.
