uh oh! -- BIND's no good again - warning, warning

This doesn't seem to have got into slashdot yet.
I guess it will in a couple of hours.

Here's an excerpt:

============================================================
ISC has discovered or has been notified of several bugs which can result 
in vulnerabilities of varying levels of severity in BIND as
distributed by ISC. Upgrading to BIND version 9.1 is strongly recommended. 
If that is not possible for your site, upgrading at least to
BIND version 8.2.3 is imperative.
============================================================

Sounds serious to me.
