CVE-2026-11331 is an improper handling of a NAMETOOLONG error during Response Policy Zone (RPZ) processing of wildcard CNAME policies in BIND 9. A sufficiently long DNS query name can cause RPZ processing to encounter this error condition. The error is not handled correctly, which can cause the applicable RPZ rule to be bypassed and may terminate the named process. Affected versions are BIND 9.16.0 through 9.18.50, 9.20.0 through 9.20.24, 9.21.0 through 9.21.23, 9.16.8-S1 through 9.18.50-S1, and 9.20.9-S1 through 9.20.24-S1.
