The version of bind installed on the remote host is prior to 9.11.4-26.P2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2024-2616 advisory.

    Resolver caches and authoritative zone databases that hold significant numbers of RRs for the same     hostname (of any RTYPE) can suffer from degraded performance as content is being added or updated, and     also when handling client queries for this name.This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.11.0 through 9.11.37,     9.16.0 through 9.16.50, 9.18.0 through 9.18.27, 9.19.0 through 9.19.24, 9.11.4-S1 through 9.11.37-S1,     9.16.8-S1 through 9.16.50-S1, and 9.18.11-S1 through 9.18.27-S1. (CVE-2024-1737)

    If a server hosts a zone containing a KEY Resource Record, or a resolver DNSSEC-validates a KEY     Resource Record from a DNSSEC-signed domain in cache, a client can exhaust resolver CPU resources by     sending a stream of SIG(0) signed requests.This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.0.0 through 9.11.37,     9.16.0 through 9.16.50, 9.18.0 through 9.18.27, 9.19.0 through 9.19.24, 9.9.3-S1 through 9.11.37-S1,     9.16.8-S1 through 9.16.49-S1, and 9.18.11-S1 through 9.18.27-S1. (CVE-2024-1975)

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.
