Just to be clear, this vulnerability does not affect the BIND servers, but
rather any application linked to the resolver library (which many vendors
include in their libc). I'm skeptical that if this exploit is real, it is
based on this bug as the libc in Linux has been fixed since 2.2.5 (1999 or
so, I'm told) and the exploit references recent versions of Linux.
