BIND DNS server may crash or be exploited

published 3 days ago
Summary

The BIND DNS software used on Almalinux systems can be forced to stop working or allow attackers to run code by sending specially crafted DNS messages. This can disrupt internet services for your users and expose your network to further attacks. Apply the latest security updates for all BIND packages as soon as possible.

Original advisory text
Important: bind security update
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: BIND: Denial of Service via unbounded processing of crafted DNS messages (CVE-2026-19630)
* bind: bind: Arbitrary code execution via GSS-TSIG UDP message replay (CVE-2026-94300)
* bind: bind: Denial of Service via assertion failure during redirect processing (CVE-2026-96888)
* bind: bind: Denial of service via assertion failure in RPZ query processing (CVE-2026-97313)
