I would recommend requesting downstream fixes in the mean time. Any distribution channel delivering bind packages can include patches already merged into bind-9.18 branch. They may not be aware the problem exists, because it happens only for less common domains.

Give them https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/bind9/-/merge_requests/11211 MR link to any your bind distributor and request fixes. They may arrive sooner than new bind release, but they have to know about the problem first.

If you build from sources, then use cherry-pick to include fixing commit from it on top of last release. What is what I do for Fedora packages for example.

I would not have noticed it myself if I were not included in cc by Bjørn Mork. I would be surprised if most of redistributors were unaware there is any problem at this moment.

Regards,
Petr

Ondřej, do you have an ETA for (9.18) releases which contain the fixes?

Agreed.

I would suggest doing a full bug report into an issue next time and including all the relevant details instead of piggybacking on an internal issue.

There is a subtle difference between #5570 and the issue reported below, and thus these are two distinct bugs.

Unfortunately this is a rare moment, when Ondřej is not correct. This affects all versions, which included fix for CVE-2025-8677. Yes, I verified also our builds are affected. Fedora 9.18.41 contains the same problem, but OpenSSL library does not prevent usage of 5 and 7 algorithms there. It is not visible.

But in any case, similar reports should contain delv +vtrace output from your side. Especially because it should be able to reproduce it on any system, which disables RSASHA1 and RSASHA1NSEC3 algorithms. But delv tool shows wrong behaviour only on CentOS 9 or CentOS 10 derivatives. On other systems it seems unaffected on the first glance.

Development version contains code modifications, which has similar problem in a bit different place and with different fix needed. But unlike original assumption it affects also stable versions.

Petr
