Article in Times of India Mumbai about a newly discovered bug in BIND



Hi did you all read the article in Times of India, Mumbai on editorial page
on 31 Jan Wednesday about the newly discovered bug in BIND software which
could cause disruption in Internet traffic if used by crackers. It says
this bug will allow crackers to modify the DNS database and lead to
disruption of traffic in those portions of the internet which depend on
that particular DNS server. It also says that if the crackers crack into
one of the 13 root DNS servers located at Tokyo, London, Stockholm and US
then much larger portions of the Internet will get affected. There were
also some comments from Cricket Liu who has coauthored the book DNS and
BIND (Oreilly).
