Summary

CVE-2023-2829 is a vulnerability affecting BIND 9 DNS servers. When `named` is configured as a DNSSEC-validating recursive resolver with the "Aggressive Use of DNSSEC-Validated Cache" option enabled, it can be terminated remotely by maliciously crafted NSEC records. This issue impacts BIND 9 versions 9.16.8-S1 through 9.16.41-S1 and 9.18.11-S1 through 9.18.15-S1.
