Source	CVE (at NVD; CERT, ENISA, LWN, oss-sec, fulldisc, Debian ELTS, Red Hat, Ubuntu, Gentoo, SUSE bugzilla/CVE, GitHub advisories/code/issues, web search, more)

Notes

[squeeze] - maradns <no-dsa> (Minor issue)
[lenny] - maradns <no-dsa> (Minor issue)
a DoS that requires being able to do recursive queries. Allowing recursive queries to the general public is already a security issue to begin with, so this issue can better be addressed in a point update.
