    Package        : bind9     Version        : 1:9.11.5.P4+dfsg-5.1+deb10u11     CVE ID         : CVE-2023-50387 CVE-2023-50868     Debian Bug     :

    Two vulnerabilities were discovered in BIND, a DNS server implementation, which     may result in denial of service.

    CVE-2023-50387

        Certain DNSSEC aspects of the DNS protocol allow remote attackers to cause         a denial of service via DNSSEC queries. This is known as the KeyTrap         issue.

    CVE-2023-50868

        The Closest Encloser Proof aspect of the DNS protocol allows remote         attackers to cause a denial of service via DNSSEC queries in a random         subdomain attack. This is known as the NSEC3 issue.

    For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version     1:9.11.5.P4+dfsg-5.1+deb10u11.

    We recommend that you upgrade your bind9 packages.
