The SNI advisory is for a problem that had been corrected quite some time ago.
This is a "late" advisory causing lots of folks confusion.

The problem is in the resolver libraries (in libc).  Upgrading named to 4.9.5
will not fix this problem.  This problem was quietly fixed in 2.1 -stable and
-current releases by explicit request of the author several months ago.
