There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

  - In a BIND resolver, inbound DNS protocol messages with a particular structure will result in additional
    processing, with no limit imposed by BIND. A DNS message with a maliciously large number of such
    structures will cause BIND to consume disproportionate amounts of CPU time and memory during processing.
    This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.11.0 through 9.18.50, 9.20.0 through 9.20.29, 9.21.0 through 9.21.26,
    9.11.3-S1 through 9.18.50-S1, and 9.20.9-S1 through 9.20.29-S1. (CVE-2026-19630)

There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

  - In a BIND resolver, inbound DNS protocol messages with a particular structure will result in additional
    processing, with no limit imposed by BIND. A DNS message with a maliciously large number of such
    structures will cause BIND to consume disproportionate amounts of CPU time and memory during processing.
    This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.11.0 through 9.18.50, 9.20.0 through 9.20.29, 9.21.0 through 9.21.26,
    9.11.3-S1 through 9.18.50-S1, and 9.20.9-S1 through 9.20.29-S1. (CVE-2026-19630)

  - Replaying GSS-TSIG signed UDP messages can result in memory corruption in "`named`". An attacker who can
    capture a previously signed UDP message can replay it while the negotiated TSIG key is still valid. By
    also sending crafted queries to a zone the attacker controls, the attacker may potentially achieve remote
    code execution. This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.11.0 through 9.18.50, 9.20.0 through 9.20.29, 9.21.0
    through 9.21.26, 9.11.3-S1 through 9.18.50-S1, and 9.20.9-S1 through 9.20.29-S1. (CVE-2026-94300)

  - A BIND resolver that is configured with both a "redirect" zone and "qname-minimization strict" may abort
    with an assertion failure while processing the redirect. This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.16.0 through
    9.18.50, 9.20.0 through 9.20.29, 9.21.0 through 9.21.26, 9.16.8-S1 through 9.18.50-S1, and 9.20.9-S1
    through 9.20.29-S1. (CVE-2026-96888)

  - A recursive BIND server that receives a query with recursion desired (RD=1) followed by a non-recursive
    query (RD=0) may exit with an assertion failure, resulting in a denial of service. To be vulnerable, the
    BIND server must allow recursive queries and have at least two RPZ zones configured: one with the default
    setting of "recursive-only yes", and the other with "recursive-only no". This issue affects BIND 9
    versions 9.16.0 through 9.18.50, 9.20.0 through 9.20.29, 9.21.0 through 9.21.26, 9.11.3-S1 through
    9.18.50-S1, and 9.20.9-S1 through 9.20.29-S1. (CVE-2026-97313)

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - In a BIND resolver, inbound DNS protocol messages with a particular structure will result in additional     processing, with no limit imposed by BIND. A DNS message with a maliciously large number of such     structures will cause BIND to consume disproportionate amounts of CPU time and memory during processing.
    This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.11.0 through 9.18.50, 9.20.0 through 9.20.29, 9.21.0 through 9.21.26,     9.11.3-S1 through 9.18.50-S1, and 9.20.9-S1 through 9.20.29-S1. (CVE-2026-19630)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The version of bind installed on the remote host is prior to 9.11.4-26.P2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2026-4038 advisory.

    Inbound-message resource exhaustion (CWE-400) leading to denial of service. No configuration precondition;
    version applicability is the deciding factor. Affected versions: 9.11.0-9.18.50, 9.20.0-9.20.29,     9.21.0-9.21.26. (CVE-2026-19630)

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2026-3312 advisory.

    Inbound-message resource exhaustion (CWE-400) leading to denial of service. No configuration precondition;

    A BIND recursive resolver may experience excessive resource consumption if it encounters large numbers of     a particular kind of invalid DNSSEC record.  Default limits on max-records-per-type and max-types-per-     name help mitigate the exposure.This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.11.0 through 9.18.50, 9.20.0 through     9.20.27, 9.21.0 through 9.21.25, 9.11.3-S1 through 9.18.50-S1, and 9.20.9-S1 through 9.20.27-S1.
    (CVE-2026-19668)

    A validly signed NSEC3 from an unrelated sibling zone may be accepted as an insecurity proof, downgrading     a secure delegation and letting a forged unsigned answer through.This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.11.0     through 9.18.50, 9.20.0 through 9.20.27, 9.21.0 through 9.21.25, 9.11.3-S1 through 9.18.50-S1, and     9.20.9-S1 through 9.20.27-S1.

    Named may terminate unexpectedly when a redirect zone is used with strict QNAME minimization (CWE-617). A     resolver is only affected when configured with both a redirect zone AND qname-minimization strict.
    Affected versions: 9.16.0-9.18.50, 9.20.0-9.20.29, 9.21.0-9.21.26. (CVE-2026-96888)

    Named exits on an assertion failure, resulting in denial of service. Affected versions: 9.16.0-9.18.50,     9.20.0-9.20.29. (CVE-2026-97313)
