A Word About Windows Binary BIND Distributions and OpenSSL Libraries

At ISC we have recently received several inquiries from customers who are using the binary packages of BIND that we distribute for Microsoft Windows. They have expressed concerns about security vulnerabilities present in older versions of OpenSSL.  BIND uses OpenSSL for securing communications between dynamic nameservers and clients and between master servers and slave servers.  To support this functionality, ISC uses functionality from the OpenSSL libraries and ships libraries from the OpenSSL package with binary distributions of BIND.

Warned of an Attack on the Internet, and Getting Ready

Though we are best known for our BIND and DHCP software, these are just one part of ISC's mission. ISC also takes pride in operating one of the Internet's 13 top (root) level namservers. Part of being a root nameserver operator is doing what it takes by preparing for the worst-case scenarios -- even if they never happen.
