Moderate: bind security, bug fix, and enhancement update

Published Nov 13, 2026 · Updated Nov 13, 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: Amplification vulnerabilities via self-pointed glue records (CVE-2026-3592)

* bind: Unbounded resend loop in BIND 9 resolver (CVE-2026-5950)

Bug Fix(es) and Enhancement(s):

* Bind 9.16.23 DNSSEC Key Rollover with KASP Causes ZSK Key To Be Removed Prematurely (JIRA:Rocky Linux-12487)

* nslookup does not return and hang at epoll_wait() on some special occasions. (JIRA:Rocky Linux-29712)

* Update to latest minor version 9.16.50 [rhel-9.9] (JIRA:Rocky Linux-6454)

* pkcs11-tools test failing on engine (JIRA:Rocky Linux-213788)

* dig on s390x does not return output when fails (JIRA:Rocky Linux-212648)

* bind: New root trust anchor key for DNSSEC [rhel-9.9] (JIRA:Rocky Linux-255745)

Vulnerabilities 2

  • Medium 5.3

    Amplification vulnerabilities via self-pointed glue records

    BIND resolvers are vulnerable to an amplified resource consumption/exhaustion attack. If a victim resolver makes a query to a specially crafted zone, the resolver will consume disproportionate resources. This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.11.0 through 9.16.…

  • Medium 5.3
    CVE-2026-5950 Public exploit

    Unbounded resend loop in BIND 9 resolver

    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…
