"Domain Name System (DNS) Servers running various versions of ISC BIND (including both 4.9.x prior to 4.9.8 and 8.2.x prior to 8.2.3; 9.x is not affected) and derivatives. Because the normal operation of most services on the Internet depends on the proper operation of DNS servers, other services could be impacted if these vulnerabilities are exploited"

RaQ3-All-Security-4.0.2-9353.pkg Posted: February 6, 2001 

"This patch upgrades the version of bind used by DNS to 8.2.3. This version of bind contains various security fixes for security holes that were found in BIND-8.2.2_P5. 

NOTE: You may need to restart the DNS service under the control panel after installing this patch."
