"The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as
referenced in the RHSA-2026:55441 advisory.

    The Berkeley Internet Name Domain (BIND) is an implementation of the Domain Name System (DNS) protocols.
    BIND includes a DNS server (named); a resolver library (routines for applications to use when interfacing
    with DNS); and tools for verifying that the DNS server is operating correctly.

    Security Fix(es):

    * bind: BIND 9 server memory exhaustion during GSS-API TKEY negotiation (CVE-2026-3039)

    * bind: BIND: Denial of Service via specially crafted DNS messages (CVE-2026-5946)

    * bind9: bind: Potential wildcard CNAME RPZ policy bypass (CVE-2026-11331)

    * bind: bind9: DNSSEC Validation Bypass via Out-of-Zone NSEC Next Field (CVE-2026-13321)

    * bind: bind9: Potential memory usage beyond configured limits (CVE-2026-11622)

    * bind: bind9: Cache poisoning via label count discrepancy, RRSIG, wildcards (CVE-2026-11721)

    * bind: bind9: Unexpected exit with NSEC and NSEC3 both present (CVE-2026-13204)

    * bind: bind9: Incorrect acceptance of NSEC3 records (CVE-2026-10723)

    For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and
    other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
