Summary
Vulnerability in BIND causing denial of service via malformed SIG records.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to disrupt the DNS server's operation, leading to service unavailability.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update BIND to the latest version to mitigate this vulnerability.
Other vulnerabilities in BIND
See all- CVE-2025-13878High
Malformed BRID/HHIT records can cause `named` to terminate unexpectedly. This vulnerability affects specific versions of BIND 9.
- CVE-1999-0024Medium
CVE-1999-0024 vulnerability involves a malicious attack on DNS cache via BIND, exploiting predictable query IDs.
- CVE-2026-13321High
The BIND resolver accepts validly-signed NSEC records where the "Next Domain Name" field points outside the signer's zone. Affected versions include BIND 9.11.0-9.18.50, 9.20.0-9.20.24, 9.21.0-9.21.23, and S1 versions.
- CVE-2026-13204High
BIND 9 in certain versions may exit unexpectedly with an assertion while validating proof if a domain is covered by both NSEC and NSEC3 records and an RRSIG exists for only one type.
- CVE-2026-12617High
BIND 9 contains a vulnerability that causes unexpected termination of the named process. The issue occurs with specific ordering of responses to queries for CNAME, DNAME, and A records when the authoritative server delays the response.
- CVE-2026-11721High
In BIND 9, an attacker can respond to a query with an RRSIG having fewer labels than the zone, causing a wildcard name for a shorter zone, leading to cache poisoning. This requires synth-from-dnssec yes (default).
- CVE-2026-11622High
A DNSSEC validating resolver under a random subdomain attack can suffer from runaway memory usage, exceeding the max-cache-size limit. The attacker needs to send queries faster than the resolver can validate.
- CVE-2026-11605High
Resource exhaustion vulnerability in BIND related to DNSSEC validation. The server always validates all RRSIG records in a response, even if unnecessary, leading to excessive CPU usage.
- CVE-2026-11331High
BIND 9 has a vulnerability in RPZ processing with wildcard CNAME policies. An attacker can send a query with a long name triggering a NAMETOOLONG error, which may lead to bypassing RPZ rules or an unexpected exit of BIND 9.
- CVE-2026-10822Medium
A flaw in BIND 9: accepting an invalid data structure in a DNS record (PRIVATEDNS algorithm with incorrect length) can cause the server to abort when rendering the record to text.
