The version bind that was distributed in Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 has
a vulnerability in the processing of NXT records that can be used
by an attacked in a Debian of Service attack or theoretically be
exploited to gain access to the server.

This has been fixed in version 8.2.5p5-0slink1, and we
recommend that you upgrade your bind package immediately.
