Bug#189659: O: dnrd
Package: wnpp
Version: unavailable; reported 2003-04-19
Severity: normal
The Domain Name Relay Daemon (DNRD) is a simple "proxy" nameserver.
It is meant to be used for home networks that can connect to the
internet using one of several ISPs.
.
DNRD can be setup to forward all DNS queries to the appropriate DNS
server for each of your ISPs.
.
SECURITY NOTE: dnrd is susceptible to buffer overflow attacks.
However, by default dnrd changes to the "nobody" user. It also does
a chroot to the /etc/dnrd directory, after checking that /etc/dnrd
exists and contains no subdirectories and no executables and is only
writable by root.
