CVE-2026-13321HIGH | DNSSEC Validation Bypass via Out-of-Zone NSEC Next FieldThe BIND resolver accepts validly-signed NSEC records where the "Next Domain Name" field points outside the signer's zone. This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.11.0 through 9.18.50, 9.20.0 through 9.20.24, 9.21.0 through 9.21.23, 9.11.3-S1 through 9.18.50-S1, and 9.20.9-S1 through 9.20.24-S1.

CVE-2026-13204HIGH | Unexpected exit in certain situations with NSEC and NSEC3 both presentIf a provably insecure domain is covered by both an NSEC and NSEC3 record at the parent, and there exist an RRSIG for only one of these types, then BIND may exit unexpectedly with an assertion while validating this proof. This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.11.0 through 9.18.50, 9.20.0 through 9.20.24, 9.21.0 through 9.21.23, 9.11.3-S1 through 9.18.50-S1, and 9.20.9-S1 through 9.20.24-S1.

CVE-2026-12617HIGH | Record ordering based unexpected exit with CNAME or DNAMEThe issue is unexpected program termination based on ordering and/or specific content in responses to queries for CNAME or DNAME, and A records. Specifically, if a client queries for a DNAME and A record below the DNAME to the resolver, and the authoritative server responds positively to the A query but delays the DNAME response and later responds negatively, `named` may quit unexpectedly. Or, if a client queries for a CNAME and A record for the same name to the resolver, and the authoritative s… CWE-617Jul 22, 2026 | CVSS7.5v3.1 | EPSS0.488% | PoCs0 | SignalsNot listed in CISA KEVNo known ransomware useNo Nuclei templates | STIX |
CVE-2026-11721HIGH | Cache poisoning possible with label count discrepancy, RRSIG, and wildcardsIt is possible for an attacker's zone to respond to a query with an RRSIG that has a smaller number of labels than the zone in which the RRSIG is contained. This causes `named` to produce a wildcard name for a zone that is shorter than the attacker's zone, which can result in cache poisoning. For this attack to have any effect, the resolver under attack must have set `synth-from-dnssec yes;` (which is the default). This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.11.0 through 9.18.50, 9.20.0 through 9.20.24… CWE-1284Jul 22, 2026 | CVSS7.5v3.1 | EPSS0.385% | PoCs0 | SignalsNot listed in CISA KEVNo known ransomware useNo Nuclei templates | STIX |
CVE-2026-11622HIGH | Potential memory usage beyond configured limitsA DNSSEC validating resolver that is under a random subdomain attack against a DNSSEC-signed zone can suffer from runaway memory usage. The attacker needs to be able to send queries faster than the resolver can perform validation. The increased memory usage can be orders of magnitude beyond the limit configured in the `max-cache-size` parameter. This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.11.0 through 9.18.50, 9.20.0 through 9.20.24, 9.21.0 through 9.21.23, 9.11.3-S1 through 9.18.50-S1, and 9.20.9-S1 t… CWE-770Jul 22, 2026 | CVSS7.5v3.1 | EPSS0.509% | PoCs0 | SignalsNot listed in CISA KEVNo known ransomware useNo Nuclei templates | STIX |
CVE-2026-11605HIGH | Unnecessary validation of DNSSEC signed recordsThe issue is a resource exhaustion vulnerability associated with DNSSEC validation. BIND always validates all RRSIG records in an answer, even if they are not strictly needed. A query to an authoritative server/zone which returns many valid but superfluous RRSIG records causes the validator to waste disproportionate CPU time. This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.20.0 through 9.20.24, 9.21.0 through 9.21.23, and 9.20.9-S1 through 9.20.24-S1.

CVE-2026-11331HIGH | Potential wildcard CNAME RPZ policy bypassAn attacker who knows (or guesses) that a resolver uses RPZ with wildcard CNAME policies can craft query names long enough to trigger a NAMETOOLONG error condition during RPZ processing. This is not handled correctly and may lead to defeating the RPZ rule. It also may lead to an unexpected exit of the BIND 9 software. This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.16.0 through 9.18.50, 9.20.0 through 9.20.24, 9.21.0 through 9.21.23, 9.16.8-S1 through 9.18.50-S1, and 9.20.9-S1 through 9.20.24-S1.

CVE-2026-10822MEDIUM | Key Record using PRIVATEDNS algorithm may lead to unexpected exitIf BIND encounters a particular invalid data structure in a DNS record, it will accept the invalid data, and may subsequently abort and exit. BIND will first need to store a DNS record for a key (KEY, DNSKEY, etc.). That key must specify a PRIVATEDNS algorithm (253), and in the algorithm identifier, improperly give a length longer than the actual identifier data. The invalid identifier will be stored. If BIND later needs to render that record to text, it will use the invalid length during proce… | CVSS6.5v3.1 | EPSS0.371% | PoCs0 | SignalsNot listed in CISA KEVNo known ransomware useNo Nuclei templates | STIX |
CVE-2026-10723MEDIUM | Incorrect acceptance of NSEC3 recordsBIND may accept incorrect child-zone NSEC3 records as valid, which could allow an attacker to forge authenticated NXDOMAIN responses. This issue 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, 9.11.3-S1 through 9.18.50-S1, and 9.20.9-S1 through 9.20.24-S1.

CVE-2026-5947HIGH | SIG(0) validation during query flood may lead to undefined behaviorUndefined behavior may result due to a race condition leading to a use-after-free violation. If BIND receives an incoming DNS message signed with SIG(0), it begins work to validate that signature. If, during that validation, the "recursive-clients" limit is reached (as would occur during a query flood), and that same DNS message is discarded per the limit, there is a brief window of time while the SIG(0) validation may attempt to read the now-discarded DNS message.
