RHSA-2026:95241: Important: bind security, bug fix, and enhancement update
Important: bind security, bug fix, and enhancement update
Other sources
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): bind9: bind: BIND 9: Denial of Service via 16-bit length truncation in DNS negative cache handling (CVE-2026-19667) bind: BIND: Denial of Service via crafted DNSSEC reply (CVE-2026-80274) bind: BIND: Denial of Service via malformed DNS64 responses (CVE-2026-19666) 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) Bug Fix(es) and Enhancement(s): bind: Avoid costly reload of IdM named due to logrotate operation [rhel-9.4.z] (JIRA:RHEL-245353) bind: New root trust anchor key for DNSSEC [rhel-9.4.z] (JIRA:RHEL-255761) bind 9.16 crash with SIGSEGV [rhel-9.4.z] (JIRA:RHEL-280607) For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which installed packages are covered by this advisory?
The advisory lists redhat/bind, redhat/bind-chroot, redhat/bind-debuginfo, redhat/bind-debugsource, redhat/bind-dnssec-utils, redhat/bind-dnssec-utils-debuginfo, redhat/bind-libs, and redhat/bind-libs-debuginfo.
What kinds of attacker-controlled DNS traffic are involved in the reported issues?
The security fixes include denial-of-service conditions triggered by crafted DNS messages, crafted DNSSEC replies, malformed DNS64 responses, negative-cache handling, redirect processing, and RPZ query processing. One issue is described as arbitrary code execution through GSS-TSIG UDP message replay.
Are only authoritative DNS servers relevant to this update?
No. The described BIND distribution includes the named DNS server, a resolver library for applications interfacing with DNS, and DNS server verification tools. The listed affected packages also include bind-libs and DNSSEC utilities.
