ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2024:1726683307 advisory.

  - Resolver caches and authoritative zone databases that hold significant numbers of RRs for the same
    hostname (of any RTYPE) can suffer from degraded performance as content is being added or updated, and
    also when handling client queries for this name. This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.11.0 through
    9.11.37, 9.16.0 through 9.16.50, 9.18.0 through 9.18.27, 9.19.0 through 9.19.24, 9.11.4-S1 through
