RHSA-2026:98497: 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) 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.
