It appears I was mistaken. The advisory is a little incorrect too, it seems. The archives of freebsd-security have the full discussion, but here is a more definitive answer: http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=120576+0+current/freebsd-security The bind8 port was just upgraded (Late Tue. night) to 8.2.3 which was just released. So I guess one either has to upgrade the whole system to the latest 4.2-stable or upgrade their bind version, perhaps through the port.
