Product: bind
Component: program
Summary: verisign and the wildcard issue
Product: bind
Version: 9.2.3-0.rc1.1mdk
Platform: Other
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: blocker
Priority: P2
Component: program
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The bind package should be upgraded to bind-9.2.3rc2 as it has the new
"delegation-only" directive that can solve the wildcard issue. Please note
that this is not a new thing, many TLD's has been doing this for years, but
now since the *.com and *.net domains also goes in the same direction there
are actually a solution. Older bind versions down to 9.1.x has patches
(download from ISC) so there should not be so hard to provide security
updates.
