ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1787734642 advisory.

  - BIND may accept incorrect child-zone NSEC3 records as valid, which could allow an attacker to forge
    authenticated NXDOMAIN responses. This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.18.0 through 9.18.50, 9.20.0
    through 9.20.24, 9.21.0 through 9.21.23, 9.11.3-S1 through 9.18.50-S1, and 9.20.9-S1 through 9.20.24-S1.
    (CVE-2026-10723)

  - An attacker who knows (or guesses) that a resolver uses RPZ with wildcard CNAME policies can craft query
    names long enough to trigger a NAMETOOLONG error condition during RPZ processing. This is not handled
    correctly and may lead to defeating the RPZ rule. It also may lead to an unexpected exit of the BIND 9
    software. This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.16.0 through 9.18.50, 9.20.0 through 9.20.24, 9.21.0
    through 9.21.23, 9.16.8-S1 through 9.18.50-S1, and 9.20.9-S1 through 9.20.24-S1. (CVE-2026-11331)

  - A DNSSEC validating resolver that is under a random subdomain attack against a DNSSEC-signed zone can
    suffer from runaway memory usage. The attacker needs to be able to send queries faster than the resolver
    can perform validation. The increased memory usage can be orders of magnitude beyond the limit configured
    in the `max-cache-size` parameter. This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.11.0 through 9.18.50, 9.20.0
    through 9.20.24, 9.21.0 through 9.21.23, 9.11.3-S1 through 9.18.50-S1, and 9.20.9-S1 through 9.20.24-S1.
    (CVE-2026-11622)

  - It is possible for an attacker's zone to respond to a query with an RRSIG that has a smaller number of
    labels than the zone in which the RRSIG is contained. This causes `named` to produce a wildcard name for a
    zone that is shorter than the attacker's zone, which can result in cache poisoning. For this attack to
    have any effect, the resolver under attack must have set `synth-from-dnssec yes;` (which is the default).
    This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.11.0 through 9.18.50, 9.20.0 through 9.20.24, 9.21.0 through 9.21.23,
    9.11.3-S1 through 9.18.50-S1, and 9.20.9-S1 through 9.20.24-S1. (CVE-2026-11721)

  - If a provably insecure domain is covered by both an NSEC and NSEC3 record at the parent, and there exist
    an RRSIG for only one of these types, then BIND may exit unexpectedly with an assertion while validating
    this proof. This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.11.0 through 9.18.50, 9.20.0 through 9.20.24, 9.21.0
    through 9.21.23, 9.11.3-S1 through 9.18.50-S1, and 9.20.9-S1 through 9.20.24-S1. (CVE-2026-13204)
