    Several vulnerabilities were discovered in BIND, a DNS server
    implementation, which could result in denial of service or remote code
    execution.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in
    version 1:9.20.30-1~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

    Further information about Debian Security Advisories, how to apply
    these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be
