| You should worry about this, it's a very serious issue.
You should also patch this vulnerability asap.

| As far as I know the issue only effects people operating a recursive-caching server.

| But most importantly it directly affects the people using those name caches / resolvers

| Disable recursion and that should fix it until you patch it.

| It's mostly ISPs that need to worry; but I'd definitely disable recursion and look at upgrading Bind sooner rather than later.
Of course, you could always run djbdns to do your recursion; DJB warned about this hole oh about 9 years ago now from memory ...
