NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream pdns package and not the pdns package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

pdns specific as packaged in Debian in version before 3.3.1-1 creates a too privileged MySQL user. It was discovered that the maintainer scripts of pdns-backend-mysql grant too wide database permissions for the pdns user. Other backends are not affected.
