Pre-announcement of BIND 9 security issues scheduled for disclosure 20 September 2023

[Greg Choules]

As part of our policy of pre-notification of upcoming security releases, we are writing to inform you that the September 2023 BIND 9 maintenance releases, that will be published on Wednesday 20 September, will contain patches for security vulnerabilities affecting stable BIND 9 release branches.

Further details about those vulnerabilities will be publicly disclosed at the time the releases are published. It is our hope that this pre-announcement will aid BIND operators in preparing for that disclosure when it occurs. If you have feedback or questions concerning this policy, please email them to bind-security at isc.org. Or post them as confidential GitLab issues at https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/bind9/-/issues/new?issue[confidential]=true.
