Important: bind and bind-dyndb-ldap security update

Published Aug 21, 2024 · Updated Feb 5, 2026

Summary

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 Fix(es):

* bind: bind9: BIND's database will be slow if a very large number of RRs exist at the same nam (CVE-2024-1737)

* bind9: bind: SIG(0) can be used to exhaust CPU resources (CVE-2024-1975)

* bind: bind9: Assertion failure when serving both stale cache data and authoritative zone content (CVE-2024-4076)

For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

Vulnerabilities 3

  • High 7.5

    BIND's database will be slow if a very large number of RRs exist at the same name

    Resolver caches and authoritative zone databases that hold significant numbers of RRs for the same hostname (of any RTYPE) can suffer from degraded performance as content is being added or updated, and also when handling client queries for this name. This iss…

  • High 7.5

    SIG(0) can be used to exhaust CPU resources

    If a server hosts a zone containing a "KEY" Resource Record, or a resolver DNSSEC-validates a "KEY" Resource Record from a DNSSEC-signed domain in cache, a client can exhaust resolver CPU resources by sending a stream of SIG(0) signed requests. This issue aff…

  • High 7.5

    Assertion failure when serving both stale cache data and authoritative zone content

    Client queries that trigger serving stale data and that also require lookups in local authoritative zone data may result in an assertion failure. This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.16.13 through 9.16.50, 9.18.0 through 9.18.27, 9.19.0 through 9.19.24, 9.11.…
