Remediation

Vendor Solution

Upgrade to the patched release most closely related to your current version of BIND 9: 9.16.48, 9.18.24, 9.19.21, 9.16.48-S1, or 9.18.24-S1.


Vendor Workaround

Disabling serve-stale (with `stale-cache-enable no;` and `stale-answer-enable no;`) and/or disabling `dns64` makes the faulty code path impossible to reach, preventing this flaw from being exploitable.
