4.2 is a place, -CURRENT is a direction.
The latest (several) bind vulnerability(s) existed in 4.2, but have been
fixed in -CURRENT (only for system developers, quite scary and unstable)
and -STABLE (useful for real work).

Technically, -STABLE is a direction also. But the bind vulnerability(s)
are fixed in -STABLE. Read the handbook about using cvsup.
