    CVE-2026-19666

    Use-after-free in query_addnoqnameproof() via the DNS64 filter64 path

    On a resolver configured to use ``dns64``, if an applicable answer from the authoritative server is malformed in a specific way, the resolver `named` process will exit unexpectedly. This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.11.0 through 9.18.50, 9.20.0 through 9.2…

  • High 7.5
    CVE-2026-19667

    Remote assertion failure via 16-bit length truncation in `dns_ncache_add()`

    If an attacker-controlled authoritative server can produce a negative answer that is exactly 65536 bytes, then a flaw in `named` results in a negative cache entry of 0 bytes. When this entry is subsequently read, `named` aborts. This issue affects BIND 9 vers…

    CVE-2026-80274

    Validating resolver can abort while caching a mismatched NOQNAME proof

    If a BIND resolver sends a query for a DNSSEC-signed authoritative zone, and the authoritative server replies with a valid wildcard answer and signed NSEC3 proof, followed by an unsigned NSEC at the same owner name, it will trigger an unexpected program exit.…

    CVE-2026-81563

    SVCB AliasMode additional-data error leaks qpcache references

    A BIND resolver encountering an SVCB/HTTPS AliasMode record referencing 14 or more SVCB/HTTPS ServiceMode records may fail to properly deallocate internal resources. If this happens repeatedly, resource exhaustion will eventually prevent the resolver from per…

  • High 7.5
    CVE-2026-81736

    Remote CPU denial of service through cached SVCB/HTTPS AliasMode trees

    If a BIND resolver has cached a tree of SVCB/HTTPS AliasMode records, and is then queried for the root of that tree, the resolver will spend disproportionate CPU time constructing the response. This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.18.0 through 9.18.50, 9.20.0…
