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 9 administrators in preparing for that disclosure when it occurs. If you have feedback or questions concerning this policy, please open a confidential GitLab issue at <a href="https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/bind9/-/issues/new?issue[confidential">https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/bind9/-/issues/new?issue[confidential</a>]=true (preferred) or send an email to <a href="https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-announce">bind-security at isc.org.</a>
Thank you for using ISC’s software.
