Our ISS scanning software tells us the same thing, but we're limited to the
current OS/400 provided BIND version. Wonder if PTFs address these types
of concerns?

Re: Migrate i5 DNS to BIND 8

The real hoot is that we contracted with IBM to do "benevolent hacking" on
our network. And one of our dns servers is running bind 8. IBM's
recommendation was to upgrade our DNS server. So I opened a pmr, and then
a DCR to get an upgrade to the bind level. IBM's reply to both requests
was basically to go get bent and the upgrade wasn't needed.
Hello, left hand, meet right hand...
IBM's exact wording from the benevolent hacking team:
BIND is vulnerable to a buffer overflow.
Multiple SIG resource records sent from an attacker controlled DNS
server could crash the server or execute arbitrary code. This
would enable attackers to gain control of the system.
For more information, please see Remote Execution of Code in BIND
Affected hosts:

Recommendation:
BIND 8.3.4 has been released. Always upgrade to the latest
version. Consider upgrading to BIND 9 or later. A workaround is
available through disabling recursion (see references).
Contact ISC for patch information.

Bind 8 is older than the hills. Does IBM patch all the holes in it.
I believe the world uses 9.2.
