Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-10-22 15:24:50 UTC 
Querying for records within a specially crafted zone containing certain malformed DNSKEY records can lead to CPU exhaustion.
Comment 2 Petr Menšík 2025-11-04 19:04:48 UTC 
There were reported regressions shortly after release of 9.18.41 and 9.20.15 version.

Our builds should have them fixed. It failed on RHEL9 or RHEL10, where SHA-1 based signatures are considered insecure. When the domain is signed with both unsupported algorithm (such as 5 or 7) and supported algorithm at the same time, it resulted in SERVFAIL after CVE fixes applied.
