bind: bind9: Unexpected exit with NSEC and NSEC3 both present

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...

Unity Linux 20.1050e / 20.1060e / 20.1070e Security Update: bind (UTSA-2026-102694)

The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the UTSA-2026-102694 advisory. 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...

bind: bind9: DNSSEC Validation Bypass via Out-of-Zone NSEC Next Field

The BIND resolver accepts validly-signed NSEC records where the "Next Domain Name" field points outside the signer's zone...

bind: bind9: Cache poisoning via label count discrepancy, RRSIG, wildcards

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...

bind: BIND 9 server memory exhaustion during GSS-API TKEY negotiation

A flaw was found in BIND. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending maliciously-constructed packets to BIND servers configured for TKEY-based authentication via GSS-API Generic Security Service Application Program Interface tokens. This can lead to excessive memory consumption,...

bind: bind9: Potential memory usage beyond configured limits

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...

bind9: bind: Potential wildcard CNAME RPZ policy bypass

A flaw was found in BIND 9, a widely used Domain Name System DNS software. A remote attacker could exploit this by sending specially crafted, excessively long DNS queries. This could bypass Response Policy Zone RPZ rules, which are designed to block access to malicious domains, and potentially...

RLSA-2026:54654 Important: bind security update

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 Fixes:...

K000162883: BIND vulnerability CVE-2026-5950

Security Advisory Description An unbounded resend loop vulnerability exists in the BIND 9 resolver state machine during bad-server handling, enabling a remote unauthenticated attacker to cause severe resource exhaustion by sending queries that trigger specific retry conditions. This issue affects...

bind: bind9: Key Record using PRIVATEDNS algorithm may lead to exit

If BIND encounters a particular invalid data structure in a DNS record, it will accept the invalid data, and may subsequently abort and exit. BIND will first need to store a DNS record for a key KEY, DNSKEY, etc.. That key must specify a PRIVATEDNS algorithm 253, and in the algorithm identifier,...
