yes and no... the root exploit only (as I understand it) affects you if
you have iquery enabled
there is a DoS that affects all installs 4.9.6 though...
dumb question of the week, btw -- how was it that redhat was able to get
an rpm out while bind 4.9.7 was still in beta? is the rpm actually the
beta version? or is it a patched 4.9.6? or is it some other magic that I
haven't come up with?
