FreeBSD 7.1 and BIND exploit

[Subhro]

Brett,

You need to understand the release engineering process of FreeeBSD.
The release edition is essential created from the stabe edition. 7.1R
would not be something new which is *not* present on 7-STABLE today.

In addition, while a particular branch is alive (not declared as end
of life) all security updates are backported. The fix which you are
looking for is also present on 7.0-R so you may well install that.

Thanks
Subhro
