At that time I believe it was thought that security patches would be made available. However this latest issue really isn't that simple to fix in BIND 8. It would require a major re-write of the underlying transport and transaction functions which is what BIND 9 provides already. So no BIND 8 fixes. Migrate to BIND 9.. Stacey PS.
