The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2023:2792 advisory.

    The Berkeley Internet Name Domain (BIND) is an implementation of the Domain Name System (DNS) protocols.
    BIND includes a DNS server (named); a resolver library (routines for applications to use when interfacing     with DNS); and tools for verifying that the DNS server is operating correctly.

    Security Fix(es):

    * bind: processing large delegations may severely degrade resolver performance (CVE-2022-2795)

    * bind: flooding with UPDATE requests may lead to DoS (CVE-2022-3094)

    * bind: sending specific queries to the resolver may cause a DoS (CVE-2022-3736)

    * bind: sending specific queries to the resolver may cause a DoS (CVE-2022-3924)

    For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and     other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.
