>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.
