CVE-2024-1737: BIND's database will be slow if a very large number of RRs exist at the same name
BIND's database will be slow if a very large number of RRs exist at the same name
Other sources
ISC BIND is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an error when content is being added or updated in resolver caches and authoritative zone databases that hold significant numbers of RRs for the same hostname (of any RTYPE). By processing queries, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the database to slow down.

Resolver caches and authoritative zone databases that hold significant numbers of RRs for the same hostname (of any RTYPE) can suffer from degraded performance as content is being added or updated, and also when handling client queries for this name. This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.11.0 through 9.11.37, 9.16.0 through 9.16.50, 9.18.0 through 9.18.27, 9.19.0 through 9.19.24, 9.11.4-S1 through 9.11.37-S1, 9.16.8-S1 through 9.16.50-S1, and 9.18.11-S1 through 9.18.27-S1.
