[slackware-security]  bind (SSA:2024-205-01)

New bind packages are available for Slackware 15.0 and -current to
fix security issues.


Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/bind-9.18.28-i586-1_slack15.0.txz:  Upgraded.
  Please note that we have moved to the 9.18 branch, as 9.16 is EOL.
  This update fixes security issues:
  Remove SIG(0) support from named as a countermeasure for CVE-2024-1975.
  qctx-zversion was not being cleared when it should have been leading to
  an assertion failure if it needed to be reused.
  An excessively large number of rrtypes per owner can slow down database query
  processing, so a limit has been placed on the number of rrtypes that can be
  stored per owner (node) in a cache or zone database. This is configured with
  the new "max-rrtypes-per-name" option, and defaults to 100.
  Excessively large rdatasets can slow down database query processing, so a
  limit has been placed on the number of records that can be stored per
  rdataset in a cache or zone database. This is configured with the new
  "max-records-per-type" option, and defaults to 100.
  Malicious DNS client that sends many queries over TCP but never reads
  responses can cause server to respond slowly or not respond at all for other
  clients.
