CVE-2026-19666

On a resolver configured to use dns64, if an applicable answer from the authoritative server is malformed in a specific way, the resolver named process will exit unexpectedly. This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.11.0 through 9.18.50, 9.20.0 through 9.20.27, 9.21.0 through 9.21.25, 9.11.3-S1 through 9.18.50-S1, and 9.20.9-S1 through 9.20.27-S1.
