Another DNS Flaw Found, Patched 66

darthcamaro writes "Remember the big DNS flaw that Dan Kaminsky 'discovered' last year? Well, it looks like another flaw in DNS has just been patched. This time it's an item that affects DNSSEC, which was supposed to be the savior for the Kaminsky flaw. The good news, though, is that this time, the issue is relatively minor and DNS has already been patched. 'The flaw is specific to certain usages of DNSSEC,' Joao Damas, senior programming manager of the ISC told InternetNews. 'It is strongly advised that all BIND DNSSEC deployments update in case they are using the particular pattern affected (DSA keys in some cases) and to prevent coming across the problem in the future unexpectedly.'"

Companies will start having to make their TV's (and other equipment's) remotes work on some sort of specialized and user-configurable encrypted code (like garage door openers). Neat-o! Dip switches in my TV remote! The universal remote will be quite difficult if not impossible to configure when this happens.
