How to fix?

Upgrade Centos:8 bind-export-libs to version 32:9.11.36-3.el8_6.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream bind-export-libs package and not the bind-export-libs package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

By spoofing the target resolver with responses that have a malformed ECDSA signature, an attacker can trigger a small memory leak. It is possible to gradually erode available memory to the point where named crashes for lack of resources.
