There has been a DNS (Domain Name System) vulnerability that has been
identified that affects all operating systems:

http://www.linux.com/feature/141080

I have checked today on the Fedora, OpenSuSE & Debian systems and they
have all been patched. Fedora & OpenSuSE - bind-libs, Debian Lenny -
bind9-host. So update your systems for this vulnerability, at least
this time 30 days are being given for system admins to deal with the
situation before giving out full details worlwide. As a side note it
is amazing the speed of Debian Lenny, 47 seconds from boot to KDE
desktop, it is fast.
