ISC Patches 14 Vulnerabilities in BIND 9 Security Update

Internet Systems Consortium (ISC) has released fresh security updates for BIND, the widely used open source DNS server software, resolving 14 vulnerabilities that could lead to denial-of-service (DoS) attacks.

Seven are high-severity flaws that could be exploited to cause an unexpected program exit, memory exhaustion, named termination, and resource exhaustion, causing DoS conditions.

The remotely exploitable bugs are tracked as CVE-2026-80274, CVE-2026-76163, CVE-2026-19666, CVE-2026-81563, CVE-2026-77692, CVE-2026-19667, and CVE-2026-81736.

They can be triggered using mismatched NOQNAME proof, QTYPE TKEY queries, malformed answers from the authoritative server, SVCB/HTTPS AliasMode records, crafted DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) requests, and negative answers of 65,536 bytes.

CVE-2026-77692 stands out because it can be exploited remotely without authentication to crash named with a single DoH SIG(0) request.

“An attacker can cause named to abort by sending a crafted DNS-over-HTTPS request with a cryptographically invalid SIG(0) record, and then closing the transport connection prematurely,” ISC explains.
