CVE-2026-1519

A flaw was found in BIND. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a maliciously crafted DNSSEC-validated zone to a BIND resolver. This could cause the resolver to consume excessive CPU resources, leading to a denial of service (DoS) for legitimate users.

This vulnerability is rated as Important. A flaw in BIND allows a remote attacker to cause a Denial of Service by sending a maliciously crafted DNSSEC-validated zone to a BIND resolver. Red Hat systems running BIND configured for DNSSEC validation are affected. Authoritative-only BIND servers are generally not impacted unless configured to perform recursive queries.

The CVSS score(s) listed for this vulnerability do not reflect the associated product's status, and are included for informational purposes to better understand the severity of this vulnerability.

To mitigate this issue, disable DNSSEC validation on affected BIND resolvers. Alternatively, configure the BIND server as authoritative-only if recursive queries are not required. Disabling DNSSEC validation may reduce the security posture of the DNS resolver. A restart of the BIND service (named) is required for these changes to take effect and may temporarily interrupt DNS resolution.
