BIND 8.3.3 Release
BIND 8.3.3 is the fourth release of 8.3. It is a maintenance release and
contains a security fix.
The recommended version to use is BIND 9.2.1. If for whatever reason you
must run BIND 8, use nothing earlier than 8.2.6-REL, 8.3.3-REL. Do not
under any circumstances run BIND 4.
'named' is *not* vulnerable to this security problem.
Highlights vs. 8.3.2
Security Fix libbind. All applications linked against libbind
need to re-linked.
'rndc restart' now preserves named's arguments
Highlights vs. BIND 8.3.1:
dig, nslookup, host and nsupdate have improved IPv6 support.
Highlights vs. BIND 8.3.0:
Critical bug fix to prevent DNS storms. If you have BIND 8.3.0 you
need to upgrade.
