packetstorm (packetstorm.securify.com) posted an exploit for it this morning.
I haven't looked at it, but this one had a real contributor, so I assume it's
legit.

Anyone aware of exploits for the recent BIND security holes?  I had a name
server crash today.  Nothing in the logs that point to anything, it was just
down.  It is the only box I can't upgrade BIND on.  It has a funky OS
install and I need to rebuild it from scratch.  I am waiting for new boxes,
so it is low priority.

I suspect someone was attempting to hack it, but I can't find any evidence.
It was just hung.

Thoughts?
