"The version of ISC BIND installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a
vulnerability as referenced in the cve-2026-3593 advisory.

  - A use-after-free vulnerability exists within the DNS-over-HTTPS implementation. This issue affects BIND 9
    versions 9.20.0 through 9.20.22, 9.21.0 through 9.21.21, and 9.20.9-S1 through 9.20.22-S1. BIND 9 versions
    9.18.0 through 9.18.48 and 9.18.11-S1 through 9.18.48-S1 are NOT affected. (CVE-2026-3593)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
