BIND Security Patch
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I.   Description

Security holes regarding the CERT advisory discussing
vulnerabilities in BIND previous to version 8.2.2-P3 have 
been patched.  The CERT advisory can be located at the
following address:

	http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-99-14-bind.html


II.  Impact

This patch closes several security holes.  Unpatched
systems are vulnerable to denial of service attacks and
possible unauthorized access.

III. Releases

This SSE contains binaries for: 

UnixWare 2.1.3
UnixWare 7.0.0 through 7.1.1

IV.  Solution

SCO is providing an interim patch to address this issue in the form of a
System Security Enhancement (SSE) package.

SSE033 contains replacement binaries for each system type, and is
available for Internet download via anonymous ftp, and from the SCOFORUM
on Compuserve.

You can download the SSE package as follows:
