Caldera Advisory - Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in BIND, the DNS name server implementation maintained by the Internet Consortium, and shipped with OpenLinux. At least one of them, the so-called "NXT bug," involves a buffer overflow that can possibly be used by a skilled attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privilege of the name server process. Five other bugs could be exploited by remote and local users to crash the name server.
