NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream bind package and not the bind package as distributed by Chainguard.

By spoofing the target resolver with responses that have a malformed EdDSA 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.
