Subject: [bitfolk] Heads up - bind9 crash
Hi all,

I run Debian Bullseye on my VPS. Overnight, Bind9 updated to version
9.11.1-1 and promptly crashed.

The fault is already known:
https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/bind9/-/issues/2413

and appears to relate to the use of a named ACL for "allow-update" in the
config. This matches my setup.

I've just downgraded back to 9.16.8-1 for now and that fixed things for
me. Thought I'd mention it, just in case anyone else runs into problems.
If you're on Bullseye and use ACLs in your Bind config, it might be
worth putting a hold on updates to bind9 for a little while.

Cheers,
Alun.
