Summary
BIND (Berkeley Internet Name Domain) is an implementation of the DNS (Domain Name System) protocols. BIND includes a DNS server (named), which resolves host names to IP addresses; a resolver library (routines for applications to use when interfacing with DNS); and tools for verifying that the DNS server is operating properly.
Security Fix(es):
* bind: bind9: Many records in the additional section cause CPU exhaustion (CVE-2024-11187)
* bind: bind9: DNS-over-HTTPS implementation suffers from multiple issues under heavy query load (CVE-2024-12705)

High 7.5CVE-2024-11187 EPSS 16%
Many records in the additional section cause CPU exhaustion
It is possible to construct a zone such that some queries to it will generate responses containing numerous records in the Additional section. An attacker sending many such queries can cause either the authoritative server itself or an independent resolver to…

High 7.5CVE-2024-12705 EPSS 19%
DNS-over-HTTPS implementation suffers from multiple issues under heavy query load
Clients using DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) can exhaust a DNS resolver's CPU and/or memory by flooding it with crafted valid or invalid HTTP/2 traffic. This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.18.0 through 9.18.32, 9.20.0 through 9.20.4, 9.21.0 through 9.21.3, and 9.18.11…
