The version bind that was distributed in Debian GNU/Linux 2.1
has a vulnerability in the processing of NXT records that can be
used by an attacked in a Debian of Service attack or theoretically
be exploited to gain access to the server.

This has been fixed in version 8.2.5p5-0slink1, and we recommend
that you upgrade your bind package immediately.

wget url
will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
will install the referenced file.

Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 alias slink


This version of Debian was released only for Intel, the Motorola
680×0, the alpha and the Sun sparc architecture.
