As you have probably heard, someone has found a way to remotely crash a bind9 server:
http://isc.sans.edu/diary.html?storyid=12049
https://www.isc.org/software/bind/advisories/cve-2011-4313

A stopgap patch (9.8.1-p1) is available, and should presumably be included
in a Debian release ASAP.

Severity only "serious" because so far it appears to be only a DoS.

I just applied this one to `apt-get source bind9`:
http://pastebin.com/ZvSY3LWA

using patch -l -p1 < ...
since there seem to be whitespace differences.
