"The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 7.02, has bind packages installed that are affected by multiple
vulnerabilities:
- Querying for records within a specially crafted zone containing certain malformed DNSKEY records can lead
to CPU exhaustion. This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.18.0 through 9.18.39, 9.20.0 through 9.20.13,
9.21.0 through 9.21.12, 9.18.11-S1 through 9.18.39-S1, and 9.20.9-S1 through 9.20.13-S1. (CVE-2025-8677)
- In specific circumstances, due to a weakness in the Pseudo Random Number Generator (PRNG) that is used, it
is possible for an attacker to predict the source port and query ID that BIND will use. This issue affects
BIND 9 versions 9.16.0 through 9.16.50, 9.18.0 through 9.18.39, 9.20.0 through 9.20.13, 9.21.0 through
9.21.12, 9.16.8-S1 through 9.16.50-S1, 9.18.11-S1 through 9.18.39-S1, and 9.20.9-S1 through 9.20.13-S1.
(CVE-2025-40780)
- Under certain circumstances, BIND is too lenient when accepting records from answers, allowing an attacker
to inject forged data into the cache. This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.11.0 through 9.16.50, 9.18.0
through 9.18.39, 9.20.0 through 9.20.13, 9.21.0 through 9.21.12, 9.11.3-S1 through 9.16.50-S1, 9.18.11-S1
through 9.18.39-S1, and 9.20.9-S1 through 9.20.13-S1. (CVE-2025-40778)
- BIND servers that are configured to use TKEY-based authentication via GSS-API tokens are vulnerable to
excessive memory consumption when receiving and processing maliciously-constructed packets. Typically
these servers will be found in Active Directory integrated DNS deployments and/or Kerberos-secured DNS
environments. This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.0.0 through 9.16.50, 9.18.0 through 9.18.48, 9.20.0
through 9.20.22, 9.21.0 through 9.21.21, 9.9.3-S1 through 9.16.50-S1, 9.18.11-S1 through 9.18.48-S1, and
9.20.9-S1 through 9.20.22-S1. (CVE-2026-3039)
- BIND resolvers are vulnerable to an amplified resource consumption/exhaustion attack. If a victim resolver
makes a query to a specially crafted zone, the resolver will consume disproportionate resources. This
issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.11.0 through 9.16.50, 9.18.0 through 9.18.48, 9.20.0 through 9.20.22,
9.21.0 through 9.21.21, 9.11.3-S1 through 9.16.50-S1, 9.18.11-S1 through 9.18.48-S1, and 9.20.9-S1 through
9.20.22-S1. (CVE-2026-3592)
