Lior Shafir, Yehuda Afek, and Anat Bremler-Barr discovered that Bind incorrectly limited certain fetches. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Bind to consume resources, leading to a denial of service, or possibly use Bind to perform a reflection attack.
(CVE-2020-8616)
Tobias Klein discovered that Bind incorrectly handled checking TSIG validity. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause Bind to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly perform other attacks. (CVE-2020-8617).
