[FYI] Security Update 2009-004

[...] Apple veröffentlichte soeben das Security Update 2009-004 für Mac OS X 10.5.8 und 10.4.11 (Intel, PPC). Es schließt eine Sicherheitslücke in der DNS-Software BIND, die (auch) in Mac OS X steckt: "A logic issue in the handling of dynamic DNS update messages may cause an assertion to be triggered. By sending a maliciously crafted update message to the BIND DNS server, a remote attacker may be able to interrupt the BIND service.
