In terms of issuing a Debian security update:

MaraDNS 2 is not affected and does not need to be patched.

I have a minimal patch fixing only this security issue:

http://maradns.org/download/patches/maradns-1.3-secret_hash.patch

The patch requires /dev/urnadom; Debian has this. [1]

While there isn't a CVE for this issue in relation to MaraDNS, the
problem is covered by CERT VU#903934 [2]

- Sam

[1] There really isn't much out there besides DOS and Windows that
doesn't have /dev/urandom these days.

[2] This will hopefully preclude Debian's bureaucratic hoop of needing
a vulnerability number before patching MaraDNS
