resolve the vulnerability:
1. Download the appropriate named file from this ftp site into a secure
directory:
ftp://ss071449:ss071449@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
2. Unpack using gunzip and verify the cksum or md5sum:
572766271 2613248 named_9.2.0_11.11
3606788661 4750744 named_9.2.0_11.23IA

command:
/sbin/init.d/named stop
If rndc is in use, from the managing server issue ths command:
rndc stop
If not using rndc enter this command as root on the system running named:
sig_named kill
4. Confirm that named is no longer running:
ps -ef | grep named
Ignore any lines containing 'grep named'.
5. Replace named with the appropriate downloaded file.
Confirm that the downloaded file has permissions/ower/group of '544 bin bin'.
Set the ownership and permissions if necessary.
cp <downloaded file> /usr/sbin/named
