Hi folks.
Latest Bind / Named version was released several days ago to patch this vulnerability.
I will try to show how to download, extract, configure and install the latest version.
Open terminal window and follow this set of instructions:
su
root's password
export PREFIX=`echo /usr/`
export PATH=$PREFIX/bin:$PATH
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PREFIX/lib/pkgconfig:$PREFIX/share/pkgconfig
cd /opt/
mkdir Bind
cd Bind
wget -c ftp://ftp.isc.org/isc/bind9/9.9.2-P2/bind-9.9.2-P2.tar.gz
tar xvzf ./bind-9.9.2-P2.tar.gz
cd bind-9.9.2-P2
./configure --prefix=$PREFIX --sysconfdir=/etc/
You can expect missing dependencies here. I had no problems whatsoever as I have a good few “devel” packages installed – try figuring out what You’re missing if You do run into a snag, then install it from Synaptic (without closing this window) and re-run the above configure step till there are no errors.
make
make install
ls --full /var/lib/named/var/
one of the listed items should look like this:
drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 2013-03-22 09:08:02.163308440 +0100 named/
ls --full /var/lib/named/var/named
chown named:named /var/lib/named/var/named/
drwxr-xr-x 7 named named 4096 2013-03-22 09:08:08.221303100 +0100 named/
Now in this terminal window type in
named -v
the reply should look like this:
BIND 9.9.2-P2
service named restart
and the reply should look something like this:
Stopping named: [ Failed ]
Starting named: [ OK ]
This should be it… You have compiled and are running latest patched version of Bind…
Regards.
Andy
