  - An attacker can cause named to abort by sending a crafted DNS-over-HTTPS request with a cryptographically
    invalid SIG(0) record, and then closing the transport connection prematurely. A successful attack may result
    in abnormal program termination and a denial-of-service. (CVE-2026-77692)
