bind dies with assertion failure

Mon Jul 2 22:40:51 UTC 2012

I may have missed something but has this been patched in a 9.8.x version 
of BIND?  According to the 9.9.0 release notes this has been addressed 
but just wondering about the availability for other vulnerable versions. 
  Also, is there a known trigger?

The reason I'm running is that we're currently running the stock version 
of BIND available with RHEL6.  It's their policy to backport patches and 
if there's a patch available then they may apply it faster rather than 
deploying a new version.
