BIND 9 vulnerabilities
25 known CVE vulnerabilities in BIND 9, translated and rated.
- 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.
- CVE-2026-10723Medium
BIND may accept incorrect child-zone NSEC3 records as valid, allowing an attacker to forge authenticated NXDOMAIN responses. This affects BIND 9 versions 9.18.0 through 9.18.50, 9.20.0 through 9.20.24, 9.21.0 through 9.21.23, and corresponding -S1 versions.
- CVE-2026-5950Medium
An unbounded resend loop in the BIND 9 resolver state machine during bad-server handling. A remote unauthenticated attacker can cause severe resource exhaustion by sending queries that trigger specific retry conditions.
- CVE-2026-5947High
A use-after-free vulnerability due to a race condition exists in BIND 9 versions 9.20.0 through 9.20.22, 9.21.0 through 9.21.21, and 9.20.9-S1 through 9.20.22-S1. During SIG(0) signature validation, if the 'recursive-clients' limit is reached and the message is discarded, validation may attempt to read the discarded message. Versions 9.18.28-9.18.49 and 9.18.28-S1-9.18.49-S1 are not affected.
- CVE-2026-5946High
Multiple flaws in `named` related to handling DNS messages with non-IN classes (e.g., CHAOS, HESIOD) or meta-classes (ANY, NONE). Specially crafted requests can cause assertion failures in `named`.
- CVE-2026-3593High
A use-after-free vulnerability in the DNS-over-HTTPS implementation in BIND 9 versions 9.20.0-9.20.22, 9.21.0-9.21.21, and 9.20.9-S1-9.20.22-S1. Versions 9.18.x are not affected.
- CVE-2026-3592Medium
BIND resolvers are vulnerable to an amplified resource consumption/exhaustion attack. If a victim resolver queries a specially crafted zone, it will consume disproportionate resources. Affects multiple BIND 9 versions.
- CVE-2026-3039High
Vulnerability in BIND servers configured to use TKEY authentication with GSS-API tokens. Receiving crafted packets can lead to excessive memory consumption, resulting in Denial of Service.
- CVE-2026-3104High
A specially crafted domain can cause a memory leak in a BIND resolver simply by querying this domain. This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.20.0 through 9.20.20, 9.21.0 through 9.21.19, and 9.20.9-S1 through 9.20.20-S1.
- CVE-2026-1519High
Excessive CPU consumption vulnerability in BIND 9 resolver during DNSSEC validation when encountering a maliciously crafted zone. Authoritative servers are generally unaffected but may make recursive queries in some cases.
- CVE-1999-0849Medium
CVE-1999-0849 affects the BIND service, which can be vulnerable to a denial of service (DoS) attack via the maxdname parameter. An attacker can cause the DNS server to stop responding to queries.
- CVE-1999-0837High
CVE-1999-0837 vulnerability affects BIND service, which can be subject to a denial of service (DoS) attack due to improper closing of TCP sessions via so_linger.
- CVE-1999-0835High
Vulnerability in BIND causing denial of service via malformed SIG records.
- CVE-1999-0851Low
CVE-1999-0851 vulnerability affects BIND service, which can be exploited for a denial of service (DoS) attack via NAPTR records.
- CVE-1999-0833High
Buffer overflow in BIND 8.2 via NXT records may lead to unauthorized access or service disruption.
- CVE-1999-0010Medium
Denial of Service vulnerability in BIND 8 Releases that can be exploited via maliciously formatted DNS messages.
