    Enabling both DNS64 and serve-stale may cause an assertion failure during recursive resolution

    A bad interaction between DNS64 and serve-stale may cause `named` to crash with an assertion failure during recursive resolution, when both of these features are enabled. This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.16.12 through 9.16.45, 9.18.0 through 9.18.21, 9.19…

    CVE-2023-6516

    Specific recursive query patterns may lead to an out-of-memory condition

    To keep its cache database efficient, `named` running as a recursive resolver occasionally attempts to clean up the database. It uses several methods, including some that are asynchronous: a small chunk of memory pointing to the cache element that can be clea…
