Yes, the FreeBSD Security Team and the FreeBSD BIND maintainer are aware of the issue and are working on fixing it in FreeBSD as soon as possible. More details about the issue can be found at: http://www.isc.org/sw/bind/bind-security.php . Our general security handling policies can be found at: http://security.FreeBSD.org/ . -- Simon L.
