DescriptionCVE.org

A specially crafted domain can be used to cause a memory leak in a BIND resolver simply by querying this domain. This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.20.0 through 9.20.20, 9.21.0 through 9.21.19, and 9.20.9-S1 through 9.20.20-S1. BIND 9 versions 9.18.0 through 9.18.46 and 9.18.11-S1 through 9.18.46-S1 are NOT affected.

AnalysisAI

Memory exhaustion in BIND 9 resolver allows unauthenticated remote attackers to cause denial of service by querying specially crafted domains, affecting versions 9.20.0-9.20.20, 9.21.0-9.21.19, and 9.20.9-S1-9.20.20-S1. The vulnerability stems from improper memory management (CWE-772) and can be triggered without authentication or user interaction. Patches are available for affected Ubuntu, SUSE, and Debian systems.

Technical ContextAI

BIND (Berkeley Internet Name Domain) is the most widely deployed DNS server software on the Internet, developed and maintained by the Internet Systems Consortium (ISC). This vulnerability affects the BIND 9 resolver component across specific version ranges as identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:isc:bind_9:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*. The root cause is classified as CWE-772 (Missing Release of Resource after Effective Lifetime), which occurs when allocated memory is not properly freed after use. In DNS resolvers, this type of flaw typically manifests during query processing where domain name handling or response parsing fails to deallocate temporary memory structures, leading to progressive memory consumption with each malicious query. Notably, the vulnerability appears to have been introduced in version 9.20.0, as the entire 9.18.x branch including versions through 9.18.46 is explicitly unaffected.

RemediationAI

Upgrade affected BIND 9 installations immediately to version 9.20.21 or later for the 9.20 branch (download available at https://downloads.isc.org/isc/bind9/9.20.21) or to version 9.21.20 or later for the 9.21 branch (download available at https://downloads.isc.org/isc/bind9/9.21.20). Organizations unable to patch immediately should consider temporarily switching to the unaffected 9.18 branch or implementing rate limiting and query filtering at the network perimeter to reduce exposure to malicious domain queries. Monitor memory utilization closely on affected resolvers to detect potential exploitation attempts and implement automated restart procedures if memory consumption patterns become abnormal. Consult the ISC security advisory at https://kb.isc.org/docs/cve-2026-3104 for complete remediation guidance and any additional vendor recommendations.
