The remote CentOS Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the bind-9.16.23-7.el9 build changelog.

  - BIND 9.11.0 -> 9.11.36 9.12.0 -> 9.16.26 9.17.0 -> 9.18.0 BIND Supported Preview Editions: 9.11.4-S1 ->     9.11.36-S1 9.16.8-S1 -> 9.16.26-S1 Versions of BIND 9 earlier than those shown - back to 9.1.0, including     Supported Preview Editions - are also believed to be affected but have not been tested as they are EOL.
    The cache could become poisoned with incorrect records leading to queries being made to the wrong servers,     which might also result in false information being returned to clients. (CVE-2021-25220)

  - BIND 9.16.11 -> 9.16.26, 9.17.0 -> 9.18.0 and versions 9.16.11-S1 -> 9.16.26-S1 of the BIND Supported     Preview Edition. Specifically crafted TCP streams can cause connections to BIND to remain in CLOSE_WAIT     status for an indefinite period of time, even after the client has terminated the connection.
    (CVE-2022-0396)

  - By flooding the target resolver with queries exploiting this flaw an attacker can significantly impair the     resolver's performance, effectively denying legitimate clients access to the DNS resolution service.
    (CVE-2022-2795)

  - By sending specific queries to the resolver, an attacker can cause named to crash. (CVE-2022-3080)

  - By spoofing the target resolver with responses that have a malformed ECDSA signature, an attacker can     trigger a small memory leak. It is possible to gradually erode available memory to the point where named     crashes for lack of resources. (CVE-2022-38177)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
