This issue was patched in RHSA-2026:68279.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream bind-doc package and not the bind-doc package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:10 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.
