It is 8.2.2p7 for debian potato 2.2r2, which does have vulnerabilities.

mooneye:~# apt-cache show bind
Package: bind

Version: 1:8.2.3-1

This is on a potato box. Possibly you'll need to point your sources.list
at potato-proposed-updates.

I'm fairly sure that 8.2.3 was the version that wasn't affected by any of
the vulnerabilities. An apt-get install bind will get the latest version
for you from the debian servers.
