Here are the details from the Slackware 13.37 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/bind-9.7.6_P2-i486-1_slack13.37.txz: Upgraded.
 Prevents a named assert (crash) when validating caused by using
 'Bad cache' data before it has been initialized. [RT #30025]
 ISC_QUEUE handling for recursive clients was updated to address a
 race condition that could cause a memory leak. This rarely occurred
 with UDP clients, but could be a significant problem for a server
 handling a steady rate of TCP queries. [RT #29539 & #30233]
 Under heavy incoming TCP query loads named could experience a
 memory leak which could lead to significant reductions in query
 response or cause the server to be terminated on systems with
 'out of memory' killers. [RT #29539]
 A condition has been corrected where improper handling of zero-length
 RDATA could cause undesirable behavior, including termination of
 the named process. [RT #29644]
 (* Security fix *)
