As always with BIND security its common sense that helps with its security (or lack there of).
Running it as its own user with no privledges, in a chrooted environment etc can also fix the security problems.

Its not always the software thats bad, it can also be simple misconfiguration, or misunderstanding of what threat security really is to any company that maybe running a bind service.
