About this tag
BIND 9 is the Internet Systems Consortium's widely deployed DNS server implementation used by resolvers and authoritative servers worldwide. Discussions on WindowsForum.com focus on critical security vulnerabilities requiring urgent patching, including CVE-2026-3593 (heap use-after-free in DNS-over-HTTPS), CVE-2024-4076 (assertion crash from stale cache and local zone conflicts), CVE-2024-1737 (resource record set overload), and CVE-2024-0760 (TCP DNS flood denial-of-service). Administrators are advised to apply the latest BIND 9 patches and enable recommended limits to maintain server stability and security.
CVE-2026-3593 is a high-severity heap use-after-free vulnerability disclosed on May 20, 2026, in the DNS-over-HTTPS implementation of BIND 9, affecting BIND 9.20.0 through 9.20.22, 9.21.0 through 9.21.21, and the supported preview 9.20.9-S1 through 9.20.22-S1. ISC says crafted HTTP/2 traffic...
A logic bug in widely deployed BIND 9 resolvers—tracked as CVE-2024-4076—can cause named to hit an assertion and terminate when a single client query simultaneously triggers serving stale cache data and requires lookups in local authoritative zone content, creating a remotely exploitable...
Resolver operators and DNS administrators should treat CVE‑2024‑1737 as an urgent operational risk: a BIND 9 flaw that can slow or stall resolver caches and authoritative zone databases when large numbers of resource records (RRs) are concentrated at a single owner name, and ISC has published...
A remotely exploitable flaw in BIND 9 allows a malicious client to flood a server with DNS messages over TCP and drive the process into an unstable, unavailable state — an availability-impacting denial-of-service that can leave resolvers and authoritative servers unresponsive while the attack...
