You will catch most applications simply by rebuilding libc and reinstalling. Unfortunately, some applications are statically linked, and they must be individually relinked against the new libc and reinstalled. Since there are a moderate number of statically linked applications that use DNS, the easiest directions simply involved rebuilding the entire system (especially given modern system speed). Once the binary updates are available, there will be a list of the affect binaries if you want to take a more selective approach.
