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)

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 5.3CVE-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…
