[Cialug] BIND vulnerability Patches

[Matt Stanton]

Ubuntu has a pretty large update (not in size so much as a Whole Lot[tm] 
of packages) that include BIND, a lot of libs BIND uses, and a bunch of 
programs that are linked to BIND.  Also a couple of packages for a 
kernel update.  That's not to say that they address this issue, but when 
I saw the list of updates I certainly thought to myself "Hmm, looks like 
they found something wrong with BIND".  To my knowledge, they had pushed 
a few updates a short while ago that must've included a kernel update or 
alsa update, because it borked the sound on my HP mini and I had to go 
through the alsa recompile again to fix it.  I did this two days ago, so 
the BIND updates must've come out in the past couple of days.
