Vendor Solution
Upgrade to the patched release most closely related to your current version of BIND 9: 9.18.47, 9.20.21, 9.21.20, 9.18.47-S1, or 9.20.21-S1.
Vendor Workaround
This is not recommended, but disabling DNSSEC (`dnssec-validation no;`) prevents exploitation of this issue.

| Description | If a BIND resolver is performing DNSSEC validation and encounters a maliciously crafted zone, the resolver may consume excessive CPU. Authoritative-only servers are generally unaffected, although there are circumstances where authoritative servers may make recursive queries (see: https://kb.isc.org/docs/why-does-my-authoritative-server-make-recursive-queries). This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.11.0 through 9.16.50, 9.18.0 through 9.18.46, 9.20.0 through 9.20.20, 9.21.0 through 9.21.19, 9.11.3-S1 through 9.16.50-S1, 9.18.11-S1 through 9.18.46-S1, and 9.20.9-S1 through 9.20.20-S1. | |
