    Package        : bind9
    CVE ID         : CVE-2025-13878

    Vlatko Kosturjak discovered that BIND, a DNS server implementation, does
    not properly handle malformed BRID/HHIT records, which may result in
    denial of service (named daemon crash).

    For the oldstable distribution (bookworm), this problem has been fixed
    in version 1:9.18.44-1~deb12u1.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), this problem has been fixed in
    version 1:9.20.18-1~deb13u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your bind9 packages.

    For the detailed security status of bind9 please refer to its security
    tracker page at:
    https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/bind9
