I run Solaris servers from Oracle and I build iscbind named service
from sources from ISC and that is the official patch.

Yes, Red Hat is very slow to release security patches.
Really, you need to make a slight adjustment and realize that the real
patch is from ISC and then you make the decision to wait for someone
else to compile it in for you ( Red Hat or whomever ) or just do it
yourself and then you know it is done and you even know it was done
correctly and as a real bonus you know who did it.
