How to fix?

Upgrade Minimos:latest bind-plugins to version 9.20.26-r0 or higher.

NVD Description

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

The issue is a resource exhaustion vulnerability associated with DNSSEC validation. BIND always validates all RRSIG records in an answer, even if they are not strictly needed. A query to an authoritative server/zone which returns many valid but superfluous RRSIG records causes the validator to waste disproportionate CPU time. This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.20.0 through 9.20.24, 9.21.0 through 9.21.23, and 9.20.9-S1 through 9.20.24-S1.
