How to fix?

Upgrade Alpine:3.19 bind to version 9.16.22-r0 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream bind package and not the bind package as distributed by Alpine. See How to fix? for Alpine:3.19 relevant fixed versions and status.

In BIND 9.3.0 -> 9.11.35, 9.12.0 -> 9.16.21, and versions 9.9.3-S1 -> 9.11.35-S1 and 9.16.8-S1 -> 9.16.21-S1 of BIND Supported Preview Edition, as well as release versions 9.17.0 -> 9.17.18 of the BIND 9.17 development branch, exploitation of broken authoritative servers using a flaw in response processing can cause degradation in BIND resolver performance. The way the lame cache is currently designed makes it possible for its internal data structures to grow almost infinitely, which may cause significant delays in client query processing.
