Patches against the Kaminsky attack were released for all of the
supported BIND branches.  9.3.5-P1 is a patched version.  You can verify
that your bind is patched by using the dns oarc tester:

   https://www.dns-oarc.net/oarc/services/dnsentropy

or manually by:

   dig +short porttest.dns-oarc.net TXT

If it reports 'poor' you still need to fix your server.  Beware of NAT
gateways which can reduce the randomness with which source ports are
used in passing.
