An update that solves four vulnerabilities can now be installed.

## Description:

This update for bind fixes the following issues:

Update to release 9.18.28

Security fixes:

  * CVE-2024-0760: Fixed a flood of DNS messages over TCP may make the server
    unstable (bsc#1228255)
  * CVE-2024-1737: Fixed BIND's database will be slow if a very large number of
    RRs exist at the same name (bsc#1228256)
  * CVE-2024-1975: Fixed SIG(0) can be used to exhaust CPU resources
    (bsc#1228257)
  * CVE-2024-4076: Fixed assertion failure when serving both stale cache data
    and authoritative zone content (bsc#1228258)

Changelog:

  * Command-line options for IPv4-only (named -4) and IPv6-only (named -6) modes
    are now respected for zone primaries, also-notify, and parental-agents.
  * An RPZ response’s SOA record TTL was set to 1 instead of the SOA TTL, if
    add-soa was used. This has been fixed.
  * When a query related to zone maintenance (NOTIFY, SOA) timed out close to a
    view shutdown (triggered e.g. by rndc reload), named could crash with an
    assertion failure. This has been fixed.
  * The statistics channel counters that indicated the number of currently
    connected TCP IPv4/IPv6 clients were not properly adjusted in certain
    failure scenarios. This has been fixed.
  * Some servers that could not be reached due to EHOSTDOWN or ENETDOWN
    conditions were incorrectly prioritized during server selection. These are
    now properly handled as unreachable.
  * On some systems the libuv call may return an error code when sending a TCP
    reset for a connection, which triggers an assertion failure in named. This
    error condition is now dealt with in a more graceful manner, by logging the
    incident and shutting down the connection.
  * Changes to listen-on statements were ignored on reconfiguration unless the
    port or interface address was changed, making it impossible to change a
    related listener transport type. That issue has been fixed.
  * A bug in the keymgr code unintentionally slowed down some DNSSEC key
    rollovers. This has been fixed.
  * Some ISO 8601 durations were accepted erroneously, leading to shorter
    durations than expected. This has been fixed
  * A regression in cache-cleaning code enabled memory use to grow significantly
    more quickly than before, until the configured max-cache-size limit was
    reached. This has been fixed.
  * Using rndc flush inadvertently caused cache cleaning to become less
    effective. This could ultimately lead to the configured max-cache-size limit
    being exceeded and has now been fixed.
  * The logic for cleaning up expired cached DNS records was tweaked to be more
    aggressive. This change helps with enforcing max-cache-ttl and max-ncache-
    ttl in a timely manner.
  * It was possible to trigger a use-after-free assertion when the overmem cache
    cleaning was initiated. This has been fixed. New Features:
  * A new option signatures-jitter has been added to dnssec-policy to allow
    signature expirations to be spread out over a period of time.
  * The statistics channel now includes counters that indicate the number of
    currently connected TCP IPv4/IPv6 clients.
  * Added RESOLVER.ARPA to the built in empty zones. Feature Changes:
  * DNSSEC signatures that are not valid because the current time falls outside
    the signature inception and expiration dates are skipped instead of causing
    an immediate validation failure. Security Fixes:
  * A malicious DNS client that sent many queries over TCP but never read the
    responses could cause a server to respond slowly or not at all for other
    clients. This has been fixed. (CVE-2024-0760)
  * It is possible to craft excessively large resource records sets, which have
    the effect of slowing down database processing. This has been addressed by
    adding a configurable limit to the number of records that can be stored per
    name and type in a cache or zone database. The default is 100, which can be
    tuned with the new max-records-per-type option.
  * It is possible to craft excessively large numbers of resource record types
    for a given owner name, which has the effect of slowing down database
    processing. This has been addressed by adding a configurable limit to the
    number of records that can be stored per name and type in a cache or zone
    database. The default is 100, which can be tuned with the new max-types-per-
    name option. (CVE-2024-1737)
  * Validating DNS messages signed using the SIG(0) protocol (RFC 2931) could
    cause excessive CPU load, leading to a denial-of-service condition. Support
    for SIG(0) message validation was removed from this version of named.
    (CVE-2024-1975)
  * Due to a logic error, lookups that triggered serving stale data and required
    lookups in local authoritative zone data could have resulted in an assertion
    failure. This has been fixed.
  * Potential data races were found in our DoH implementation, related to HTTP/2
    session object management and endpoints set object management after
    reconfiguration. These issues have been fixed.
  * When looking up the NS records of parent zones as part of looking up DS
    records, it was possible for named to trigger an assertion failure if serve-
    stale was enabled. This has been fixed. (CVE-2024-4076)
