    CVE ID         : CVE-2023-3341


    An issue has been discovered in BIND, a DNS server implementation.

    A stack exhaustion flaw was discovered in the control channel code
    which may result in denial of service (named daemon crash).


    For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version

    We recommend that you upgrade your bind9 packages.

    its security tracker page at:
    https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/bind9
