... the short version is, if you're running BIND 4 or BIND 8, set aside some
time today to upgrade to 4.9.8 or 8.2.3 (not beta, betas of 8.2.3 are
vulnerable). And now's a good time to reconsider version 9, too.
SecurityFocus warns that the last time a BIND hole of this magnitude was
found, it was followed by a "cyber-crime wave." Exploits for these holes
were successfully created by COVERT Labs, but nobody seems to know whether
they're in the wild yet. Obviously, they soon will be. Post your questions
and answers about upgrading below.
