CVE-2026-19668 is a medium-severity denial-of-service vulnerability in BIND 9 recursive resolvers. When processing large numbers of a particular type of invalid DNSSEC record, the resolver can perform excessive cryptographic-material matching and consume disproportionate resources. Default limits for max-records-per-type and max-types-per-name reduce exposure.
