Multiple Vendor BIND iquery buffer overflow Vulnerability

A buffer overflow exists in certain versions of BIND, the nameserver daemon currently maintained by the Internet Software Consortium (ISC). BIND fails to properly bound the data recieved when processing an inverse query. Upon a memory copy, portions of the program can be overwritten, and arbitrary commands run on the affected host.

Exploits for this vulnerability are very widespread, and were posted to the Bugtraq mailing list.
