Everybody and their dog updates their DNS server software

Apparently, a “fundamental issue in the DNS protocol” was discovered earlier this year, and yesterday everyone and their dog released updates to DNS server software to work around this issue. There are no details yet as to what this “fundamental issue” is, although I have seen some claims that this is not a new discovery, but rather something that was discovered already as far back as in 2003.
We will see who is right when the details get released. No matter what, it seems that it is probably a good idea to update your DNS server software if you happen to be running one. Debian claims they are unable to fix BIND version 8, so if you are using that for something mission-critical, you should probably upgrade.
