It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2025-838 advisory.

    It is possible to construct a zone such that some queries to it will generate responses containing     numerous records in the Additional section. An attacker sending many such queries can cause either the     authoritative server itself or an independent resolver to use disproportionate resources processing the     queries. Zones will usually need to have been deliberately crafted to attack this exposure.This issue     affects BIND 9 versions 9.11.0 through 9.11.37, 9.16.0 through 9.16.50, 9.18.0 through 9.18.32, 9.20.0     through 9.20.4, 9.21.0 through 9.21.3, 9.11.3-S1 through 9.11.37-S1, 9.16.8-S1 through 9.16.50-S1, and     9.18.11-S1 through 9.18.32-S1. (CVE-2024-11187)

    Clients using DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) can exhaust a DNS resolver's CPU and/or memory by flooding it with     crafted valid or invalid HTTP/2 traffic.This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.18.0 through 9.18.32, 9.20.0     through 9.20.4, 9.21.0 through 9.21.3, and 9.18.11-S1 through 9.18.32-S1. (CVE-2024-12705)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

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