CVE-2026-75029: Message parser retains every identical singleton RDATA, enabling wire-to-work amplification

• Severity: medium (CVSS 5.3 v3.1)
• Exploited in the wild: not listed in CISA KEV
• EPSS: 0.5% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days
• Public exploit or detection template: none known
• Published: 2026-09-16 · updated 2026-10-26
• Weakness: CWE-405

Description

In a query response, an attacker may send `named` multiple copies of a record that should only exist once (such as an SOA record). If the RDATA is the same on all the copies, the record is appended to the in-memory RDATA set, which can cause increased memory usage of the negative cache and possibly lead to other memory attack vectors. This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.11.0 through 9.18.50, 9.20.0 through 9.20.27, 9.21.0 through 9.21.25, 9.11.3-S1 through 9.18.50-S1, and 9.20.9-S1 through 9.20.27-S1.

Affected products

• ISC BIND: from 9.11.0 through 9.18.50; from 9.20.0 through 9.20.27; from 9.21.0 through 9.21.25; from 9.11.3-S1 through 9.18.50-S1; from 9.20.9-S1 through 9.20.27-S1
