The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2024:1781 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):

    * bind9: Parsing large DNS messages may cause excessive CPU load (CVE-2023-4408)

    * bind9: Querying RFC 1918 reverse zones may cause an assertion failure when nxdomain-redirect is     enabled (CVE-2023-5517)

    * bind9: Enabling both DNS64 and serve-stale may cause an assertion failure during recursive resolution     (CVE-2023-5679)

    * bind9: Specific recursive query patterns may lead to an out-of-memory condition (CVE-2023-6516)

    * bind9: KeyTrap - Extreme CPU consumption in DNSSEC validator (CVE-2023-50387)

    * bind9: Preparing an NSEC3 closest encloser proof can exhaust CPU resources (CVE-2023-50868)

    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.
