Doc Text:	A flaw was found in BIND. A remote attacker can cause a denial of service (DoS) by sending a sequence of recursive and non-recursive queries to an affected server. When BIND is configured to handle recursive queries alongside multiple Response Policy Zones (RPZ) with differing recursion settings, processing these queries triggers an assertion failure. This failure causes the service to crash and terminate abruptly.	Story Points:	---

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-10-20 19:59:37 UTC

A recursive BIND server that receives a query with recursion desired (RD=1) followed by a non-recursive query (RD=0) may exit with an assertion failure, resulting in a denial of service. To be vulnerable, the BIND server must allow recursive queries and have at least two RPZ zones configured: one with the default setting of "recursive-only yes", and the other with "recursive-only no".
