Based on the original advisory, this appears to affect only "master" servers. One standard best practice is to have one master and multiple slaves and to protect that master (no exposure to the Internet). This would seem to be a mitigation. This is a BCP (Best Common Practice) for those of us who have been doing this for years.

Sites with authoritative name servers definitely should upgrade AND fix their configurations to protect their masteres.
