What about BIND 9.3.4 in FreeBSD in base system ?

The bind9 port was updated the same day that the code and security
advisory were released, so users who are actually vulnerable to these
issues can update immediately. I imported 9.3.4 into HEAD today, and
plan to MFC it after 4 or 5 days. I am actually considering only
MFC'ing it to RELENG_6 to help provide some incentive for those on 5.x
to upgrade.

Of the 3 advisories, 2 are only problems for those that run with
DNSSEC validation. The other is only a problem for those that allow
untrusted users access to named configured as a recursive resolver,
and is a DoS vulnerability, not a remote exploit.

As always, if secteam@ asks me to accelerate the MFC schedule I will,
but they haven't said anything to me yet.


hth,

Doug
