Details

Updated pdns and pdns-recursor packages fix security vulnerability:

A bug was discovered in the label decompression code in PowerDNS and PowerDNS Recursor, making it possible for names to refer to themselves, thus causing a loop during decompression. On some platforms, this bug can be abused to cause crashes. On all platforms, this bug can be abused to cause service-affecting CPU spikes (CVE-2015-1868).

The pdns package has been updated to version 3.3.2 and the pdns-recursor package has been updated to version 3.6.3 to fix this issue and other bugs.
