Hi.  Can anyone on the BIND team at ISC or otherwise help me figure out what source code has changed between BIND 8.2 and BIND 8.2.2 patch 5?

Specifically, I need to know where the following CERT advisories have been addressed:

	-CERT Advisory CA-99-14 Multiple Vulnerabilities in BIND
	-AL-1999.004.dns_dos 

Have they been addressed solely in the applications/commands (named, nslookup, named-xfer, etc)?  Or, have the libraries (resolver libs, nameserver libs) been changed as well?

The more specific the information that you can give me, the better.  It is especially important that I know about any changes to the libraries, otherwise we are going to have to compare the two code versions ourselves.  :-)

Thanks in advance for your help!
