Description

This security update for BIND addresses multiple vulnerabilities by upgrading to release 9.20.15. The fixed issues include a DNSSEC validation failure when an invalid but matching DNSKEY is found (CVE-2025-8677), various spoofing attacks (CVE-2025-40778), and cache poisoning due to a weak pseudo-random number generator (CVE-2025-40780).
