  "details" : [ "An attacker who knows (or guesses) that a resolver uses RPZ with wildcard CNAME policies can craft query names long enough to trigger a NAMETOOLONG error condition during RPZ processing. This is not handled correctly and may lead to defeating the RPZ rule. It also may lead to an unexpected exit of the BIND 9 software.\nThis issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.16.0 through 9.18.50, 9.20.0 through 9.20.24, 9.21.0 through 9.21.23, 9.16.8-S1 through 9.18.50-S1, and 9.20.9-S1 through 9.20.24-S1.", "A flaw was found in BIND 9, a widely used Domain Name System (DNS) software. A remote attacker could exploit this by sending specially crafted, excessively long DNS queries. This could bypass Response Policy Zone (RPZ) rules, which are designed to block access to malicious domains, and potentially cause the BIND 9 software to crash, leading to a denial of service." ],
