NVD Description

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

A defect in code added to support QNAME minimization can cause named to exit with an assertion failure if a forwarder returns a referral rather than resolving the query. This affects BIND versions 9.14.0 up to 9.14.6, and 9.15.0 up to 9.15.4.
