Improper Check or Handling of Exceptional Conditions in ISC BIND - CVE-2026-11331

Vulnerability identifier: #VU139212

CSH Severity: Medium

CVSS v4: 8.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]

CVE-ID: CVE-2026-11331

CWE-ID: CWE-703

Exploitation vector: Remote access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass RPZ rules.

The vulnerability exists due to improper error handling in RPZ processing when processing sufficiently long query names that trigger a NAMETOOLONG condition with wildcard CNAME policies. A remote attacker can send a crafted query name to bypass RPZ rules.

The issue only affects resolvers that use RPZ with wildcard CNAME policies.
