Package : bind9
Version : 1:9.10.3.dfsg.P4-12.3+deb9u10
CVE ID : CVE-2018-5740 CVE-2021-25219
Debian Bug : 905743

CVE-2021-25219

Kishore Kumar Kothapalli discovered that the lame server cache in BIND,
a DNS server implementation, can be abused by an attacker to
significantly degrade resolver performance, resulting in denial of
service (large delays for responses for client queries and DNS timeouts
on client hosts).

CVE-2018-5740

"deny-answer-aliases" is a little-used feature intended to help recursive
 server operators protect end users against DNS rebinding attacks, a
 potential method of circumventing the security model used by client
 browsers. However, a defect in this feature makes it easy, when the
 feature is in use, to experience an assertion failure in name.c.

For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version
1:9.10.3.dfsg.P4-12.3+deb9u10.

We recommend that you upgrade your bind9 packages.
