Stabilising update for BIND DNS server

From http://h-online.com/-1611764

Quote:

A critical vulnerability in BIND has threatened the stability of the DNS server. The problem was discovered while developers were testing experimental DNS record types, when they found it was possible to add records to BIND with zero length rdata fields.
