What is CVE-2022-3736?

A flaw in the BIND 9 resolver can lead to a denial of service, causing the resolver to crash. This occurs when stale cache and stale answer handling are enabled, and the option 'stale-answer-client-timeout' is configured with a positive integer. If the resolver encounters an RRSIG query under these conditions, it may fail, interrupting DNS resolution services. This issue impacts multiple BIND 9 versions. Users are advised to review their configurations and consider updates to prevent potential disruptions.
