A bad interaction between DNS64 and serve-stale may cause named to crash with an assertion failure during recursive resolution, when both of these features are enabled. This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.16.12 through 9.16.45, 9.18.0 through 9.18.21, 9.19.0 through 9.19.19, 9.16.12-S1 through 9.16.45-S1, and 9.18.11-S1 through 9.18.21-S1.

A flaw in query-handling code can cause named to exit prematurely with an assertion failure when:
- nxdomain-redirect <domain>; is configured, and - the resolver receives a PTR query for an RFC 1918 address that would normally result in an authoritative NXDOMAIN response. This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.12.0 through 9.16.45, 9.18.0 through 9.18.21, 9.19.0 through 9.19.19, 9.16.8-S1 through 9.16.45-S1, and 9.18.11-S1 through 9.18.21-S1.
A flaw was found in the Bind package, where the DNSSEC verification code for the EdDSA algorithm leaks memory when there is a signature length mismatch. By spoofing the target resolver with responses that have a malformed EdDSA signature, an attacker can trigger a small memory leak, resulting in crashing the program.

A flaw was found in Bind, where a resolver crash is possible. When stale cache and stale answers are enabled, the option stale-answer-client-timeout is set to a positive integer, and the resolver receives an RRSIG query.
A flaw was found in Bind, where sending a flood of dynamic DNS updates may cause named to allocate large amounts of memory. This issue may cause named to exit due to a lack of free memory, resulting in a denial of service (DoS).
A stack exhaustion flaw in control channel code may cause named to terminate unexpectedly
A flaw was found in Bind. When resolver receives many queries requiring recursion, there will be a corresponding increase in the number of clients waiting for recursion to complete. This may, under certain conditions, lead to an assertion failure and a denial of service.
In BIND 9.8.5 -> 9.8.8, 9.9.3 -> 9.11.29, 9.12.0 -> 9.16.13, and versions BIND 9.9.3-S1 -> 9.11.29-S1 and 9.16.8-S1 -> 9.16.13-S1 of BIND 9 Supported Preview Edition, as well as release versions 9.17.0 -> 9.17.11 of the BIND 9.17 development branch, when a vulnerable version of named receives a malformed IXFR triggering the flaw described above, the named process will terminate due to a failed assertion the next time the transferred secondary zone is refreshed.
A flaw was found in bind. When flooding the target resolver with special queries, an attacker can significantly impair the resolver's performance, effectively denying legitimate clients access to the DNS resolution service.
In BIND 9.3.0 -> 9.11.35, 9.12.0 -> 9.16.21, and versions 9.9.3-S1 -> 9.11.35-S1 and 9.16.8-S1 -> 9.16.21-S1 of BIND Supported Preview Edition, as well as release versions 9.17.0 -> 9.17.18 of the BIND 9.17 development branch, exploitation of broken authoritative servers using a flaw in response processing can cause degradation in BIND resolver performance. The way the lame cache is currently designed makes it possible for its internal data structures to grow almost infinitely, which may cause significant delays in client query processing.
