How to fix?

Upgrade Echo:latest bind9 to version 1:9.20.29-1~deb13u1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream bind9 package and not the bind9 package as distributed by Echo. See How to fix? for Echo:latest relevant fixed versions and status.

If BIND is loaded with a "named.conf" file that contains no global "options" block, an attacker can send a query of QTYPE TKEY which may cause an assertion failure and subsequent unexpected program exit. This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.20.0 through 9.20.27, 9.21.0 through 9.21.25, and 9.20.9-S1 through 9.20.27-S1.
