It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2023-240 advisory.

    A vulnerability was found in BIND. The effectiveness of the cache-cleaning algorithm used in named can be     severely diminished by querying the resolver for specific RRsets in a certain order, effectively allowing     the configured max-cache-size limit to exceed significantly. (CVE-2023-2828)

    If the `recursive-clients` quota is reached on a BIND 9 resolver configured with both `stale-answer-enable     yes;` and `stale-answer-client-timeout 0;`, a sequence of serve-stale-related lookups could cause `named`     to loop and terminate unexpectedly due to a stack overflow.This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.16.33     through 9.16.41, 9.18.7 through 9.18.15, 9.16.33-S1 through 9.16.41-S1, and 9.18.11-S1 through 9.18.15-S1.
    (CVE-2023-2911)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
