Sure, you should be able to rebuild the F-8 bind srpm or update bind
on F-7 to 9.4.2-P1.

Then you'll get to do it again soon for any other packages that have
security problems.  IMO, your time would be better spent updating
those boxes to a supported release of Fedora (or RHEL or CentOS) --
unless you're already quite good at building packages and backporting
patches.

That means a lot of admins get to see how much work is really involved
in keeping software up to date (or learn the joys of having their
boxes rooted).
