"The CentOS Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TuxCare CENTOS-
STREAM8:CLSA-2026:1785835455 advisory.

  - 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)

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