Do you know if patches are available for BIND and Windows 200x Server
yet?  Are there any precautions that should be followed until we have
all of our patches in place?

Thanks!

Subject: [MSUNAG] DNS Cache Poisoning Vulnerability

Today, CERT released a notice regarding coordinated patching of 
all major DNS servers against a protocol level attack on the DNS 
system. This class of attack can result in a attacker taking over 
various domain names for all clients on a network. If you are running 
a DNS server, you should evaluate their potential vulnerability and 
patch as appropriate.

The CERT advisory can be found at http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/800113
