System: NetBSD veal.babymeat.com 1.6_BETA1 NetBSD 1.6_BETA1 (RAIDVEAL) #3: Mon Jun 10 17:46:36 PDT 2002 notroot@erectile-dysfunction:/netbsd15/nbsrc16/sys/arch/i386/compile/RAIDVEAL i386

>Description:
If you have bind8 installed, you get the warning

  Package bind-8.3.3 has a denial-of-service vulnerability, see http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2002-15.html

but the advisory is actually only for bind9. The entry in the
vulnerabilities file is given as

bind<9.2.1              denial-of-service       http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2002-15.html
	
>How-To-Repeat:
Install pkgsrc/net/bind8 and pkgsrc/security/audit-packages; run
audit-packages.
	
>Fix:
	
Whether the "correct" fix is to rename bind-8 to bind8, etc or to have
some syntax in the vulnerabilities file akin to "bind<9.2.1&&bind>9.0.0",
I don't know.
