Re: IBM's version of bind is obsolete.

We wend through this earlier this year with the OpenSSH that IBM uses in i 7.1. IBM was aware of the vulnerabilities and could address each one with one of two answers: a) On IBM i we are not susceptible to that, or b) Here's the PTF that fixes that.

Unfortunately while we trust that IBM has in fact given us true statements the guys 'scanning' still say: "We see old Stuff. You're out of compliance."

Yvan,

I get what you are saying. My goal is to encourage IBM to come out with a
PTF that will start using a newer version of bind. (Providing that
doesn't break something else.)
In the past I had to slap them silly but they did finally submit and fix a
very similar report. I actually think it was the last time a bind level
was obsoleted.
