Hello,

Forgive my ignorance, but I'm trying to figure out how to update BIND on my Log Server instances. BIND came up in a vulnerability scan and my manager would like to me update our version to the latest release (bind-libs-9.8.2-0.68.rc1.el6_10.1 and bind-utils-9.8.2-0.68.rc1.el6_10.1).

I tried running: yum update bind

It doesn't appear that the packages came from yum. My Linux admin suggested I check with you to see if BIND is part of the base Log Server package?

Thank you.

I don't believe these are necessary for NLS directly but they may have been installed as part of the OS. On my lab machine for example, bind-utils isn't installed but bind-libs-lite is and can be updated with:

yum update bind-libs-lite

The same should be doable for bind-utils if it is installed:

yum update bind-utils

You can get a list of installed bind packages by running:

yum list installed | grep bind

That worked! Thank you.

I had to specifically use: yum update bind-libs and yum update bind-utils

It didn't like just listing bind by itself.
