Comment 1 Josh Bressers 2008-01-08 02:12:38 UTC 
This issue has no security impact.  The flaw will cause Net::DNS to "croak",
which in turn should be handled by the calling application.  In the case of
RHEL, the only known application that uses this functionality is Spamassassin. 
Spamassassin handles this failure gracefully and continues to function, minus
the DNS tests.
Comment 2 Dick Franks 2008-02-13 18:10:28 UTC 
This and similar vulnerabilities fixed in Net::DNS version 0.63.
Comment 3 Marcela Mašláňová 2008-03-19 09:10:17 UTC 
Net::DNS version 0.63 is in rawhide.
