-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello. ISC is working on new BIND 9.10 release which includes the seccomp functionality. It can be turned on by configuring BIND before build with "--enable-seccomp". ISC asked me to kindly ask Fedora community if they would be willing to test it. Currently I'm working on rebasing BIND to 9.10 in rawhide. However it is still not finished. Since DHCP (including dhclient) depends on BIND libraries I'm not able to easily provide a testing RPMs that would be installable. In the future I would like to turn the feature on by default. So if you are willing to test the feature, you can download latest BIND 9.10.1b2 on http://www.isc.org/downloads/ Configure it with "--enable-seccomp" and you're good to go. You can send your feedback to bind-beta-response@xxxxxxxxxxxxx, bind-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or bind-bugs@xxxxxxx Some words about the feature from the contributor: "It goes further than a chroot. chroot limits an attacker to a filesystem. it doesn't prevent the attacker from running his "exploit" aka nefarious code and making socket connections over the internet that would give him some kind of backdoor access where he can remotely execute his code. That's where seccomp kicks in, it acts as a 2nd wall of defence. In case of a security hole being present in the server process, it goes further than a chroot, it prevents the attacker from making socket connections orexecuting his code, as his "playing field" is significantly reduced. There's very little he can do.” Thank you.
