+----------------+
Sat Apr 27 18:17:51 EDT 2019
net-extra/bind-server upgraded from 9.11.5 to 9.11.6_P1 to fix two security
	vulnerabilities: CVE-2018-5743, which allowed for a remote attacker to
	cause a denial of service (a hang of named, and possibly a complete
	denial of service to the entire filesystem BIND is located on) due to
	ineffective limiting of simultaneous TCP client connections; and
	CVE-2019-6467, which allowed for a remote denial of service (crash of
	named) due to an assertion failure in query.c. For more information
	see:

net-base/bind-client upgraded from 9.11.5 to 9.11.6_P1. Note that the
	aforementioned vulnerabilities affect only named, so the bind-client
	package is unaffected by them.
