PowerDNS has updated PowerDNS Recursor to version 3.1.7.2, patching two vulnerabilities.

"A critical flaw (CVE-2009-4009) allowed specially crafted packets to force a buffer overflow in Recursor which could lead to a crash and reportedly a possible full system compromise," according to The H Security.

"A high severity flaw (CVE-2009-4010) involves using specially crafted zones which could fool the PowerDNS Recursor into accepting bogus data which could allow an attacker to, for example, 'drive data from bigbank.com to an IP address of his choosing,'" the article states.
