There are some insecure permissions on configuration files and executables with the bind 9.x packages shipped with Mandrake Linux 8.0 and 8.1. This update provides stricter permissions by making the /etc/rndc.conf and /etc/rndc.key files read/write by the named user and by making /sbin/rndc-confgen and /sbin/rndc read/write/executable only by root.
