What is CVE-2023-5679?

The vulnerability arises from a problematic interaction between the DNS64 and serve-stale features in BIND 9. When both features are enabled during recursive DNS resolution, the named process may experience a crash due to an assertion failure. This could potentially lead to disrupted DNS service for affected users. The issue affects several versions of BIND 9 from 9.16.12 to 9.16.45, as well as a range of subversions specific to different configurations. Users are encouraged to review their BIND versions and apply necessary mitigations or updates.
