(RHSA-2024:3741) Important: bind, bind-dyndb-ldap, and dhcp 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.

Bind-dyndb-ldap provides an LDAP back-end plug-in for BIND. It features support for dynamic updates and internal caching, to lift the load off of your LDAP server.

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a protocol that allows individual devices on an IP network to get their own network configuration information, including an IP address, a subnet mask, and a broadcast address. The dhcp packages provide a relay agent and ISC DHCP service required to enable and administer DHCP on a network.

Security Fix(es):

• bind: KeyTrap - Extreme CPU consumption in DNSSEC validator (CVE-2023-50387)

• bind: Preparing an NSEC3 closest encloser proof can exhaust CPU resources (CVE-2023-50868)

• bind: Parsing large DNS messages may cause excessive CPU load (CVE-2023-4408)
