What is CVE-2024-1975?

A resource exhaustion vulnerability exists in BIND 9 software that can be exploited when a server hosts a zone containing a 'KEY' Resource Record, or when a resolver DNSSEC-validates a 'KEY' Resource Record from a DNSSEC-signed domain cached. Attackers can overwhelm resolver CPU resources with a continuous stream of SIG(0) signed requests, potentially leading to a denial of service condition. This affects multiple versions of BIND 9, including those from the 9.0.0 series to the latest releases.
