Vitaly Simonovich discovered that Bind could exhaust memory during GSS-API TKEY negotiation. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Bind to use excessive resources, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2026-3039)

Shuhan Zhang discovered that Bind incorrectly handled self-pointed glue records. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to use Bind in denial of service amplification attacks against other systems. (CVE-2026-3592)

Naresh Kandula Parmar discovered that Bind incorrectly handled memory in the DNS-over-HTTPS implementation. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Bind to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 25.10 and Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. (CVE-2026-3593)

It was discovered that Bind incorrectly handled DNS messages whose class was not IN. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Bind to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2026-5946)
