There's a DNS vulnerability checker (right hand side of page) at DoxPara Research

Note that your DNS server is probably not yours. If you were running a nameserver, you would probably know it. If the nameserver is not yours, it's probably your ISP's and you should poke them to plug the hole if they haven't done it already.

So is there any updates coming for OpenSuse 10.1 or has support ended already? I didn't see it on the list.

Thanks,

Tony

Try running YaST on 10.1, you will see some updates for bind.

I've some problems with yast right now... It uses too much memory.

I just hoped there would be rpm's laying around somewhere.

Hi
Nothing here?

Try running yast CLI version?

I don't even have gui installed so i'm already using cli-version. Also i've already checked that link and 10.1 doesn't have updates regarding this DNS issue.

I'll keep on looking, but meantime use opendns

But that update RPM must have come from somewhere so I would look at the update repositories for recent packages. Also have you tried the ncurses yast? That's what I used, as I was using ssh.

Hi
Have you tried a later release 10.2/10.3 and getting the src rpm and
building it?
rpmbuild --rebuild <name_of_source_rpm>
