Re: Bind 9.16.1 crash

[Ondřej Surý]

In fact, it’s as far from being “fully patched” as possible. Not all bugs are security bugs and not all crashes are security bugs. Ubuntu is pushing a version that has received most refactoring in the networking code in the recent history. The “we don’t update upstream version” policy works well only if you carefully pick upstream version. Instead this is snapshot of Debian at random point int time and this is the unfortunate result. I’ve negotiated the exception for Debian to carry the latest upstream release for a good reason. You are going to do so much better by using ISC packages. And my general recommendation would be to go straight to latest 9.18. Ondrej -- Ondřej Surý — ISC (He/Him) My working hours and your working hours may be different.

I'm not a "gotta be on the bleeding edge" kinda guy, but running a version released in first quarter of 2020 is old even by my standards. Is there some business reason to keep running a +2 year old version of BIND? -- Do things because you should, not just because you can.   John Thurston    907-465-8591 john.thurs...@alaska.gov Department of Administration State of Alaska On 12/7/2022 10:32 AM, Ben Bridges wrote: The BIND version is 9.16.1 running on a fully patched Ubuntu 20.04.5 server. <~WRD2561.jpg> <~WRD2561.jpg> Sales 417.575.7000 | Support 417.874.8000 | springnet.net -- Visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list ISC funds the development of this software with paid support subscriptions.
