Input validation error in ISC BIND - CVE-2026-13321

Vulnerability identifier: #VU139206

CSH Severity: Low

CVSS v4: 5.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]

CVE-ID: CVE-2026-13321

CWE-ID: CWE-20

Exploitation vector: Remote access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to poison the DNS cache and cause authenticated denial-of-service responses.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in DNSSEC NSEC record validation when processing validly signed NSEC records whose next domain name points outside the signer's zone. A remote attacker can craft malicious NSEC records to poison the DNS cache and cause authenticated denial-of-service responses.

Exploitation requires control of any DNSSEC-signed zone.
