Comment 6 Vincent Danen 2011-07-05 10:39:34 EDT

Statement:

Not vulnerable. This issue did not affect the versions of bind as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, 5, or 6 as they did not include support for Response Policy Zones (RPZ).

Comment 7 Vincent Danen 2011-07-05 11:08:31 EDT

Created bind tracking bugs for this issue

Affects: fedora-15 [bug 719041]
