    Several vulnerabilities were discovered in BIND, a DNS server implementation,
    which may result in denial of service or cache poisoning.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in
    version 1:9.20.29-1~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
