is this a new one?

The high-severity vulnerability in many versions of the BIND software
has the effect of causing the BIND server to exit when it receives a
specially formatted packet. The ISC said that although it isn't aware of
any public exploits for the bug, it still recommends that organizations
upgrade to one of the newer versions of BIND, which include
9.6-ESV-R4-P3, 9.7.3-P3 or 9.8.0-P4.
