[Scott C. <sc...@cu...>]

  Update Information

A security update is available for bind-client for the following
versions of Cucumber Linux:

  * 1.0
  * 1.1

Here are the details from the Cucumber 1.1 changelog:

+----------------+
Wed Jul 11 17:10:33 EDT 2018
net-base/bind-client upgraded from 9.11.3 to 9.11.4 to fix CVE-2018-5738, a
	security vulnerability that allowed for unintended clients to perform
	recursive queries, due to improper handling of the configuration. This
	vulnerability likely affects only the bind-server package; however,
	this has not been confirmed to be the case, so we have upgraded the
	client package as well just to be safe. For more information see:
		https://security.cucumberlinux.com/security/details.php?id=467
