Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog: patches/packages/bind-9.18.28-i586-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded. Please note that we have moved to the 9.18 branch, as 9.16 is EOL. This update fixes security issues: Remove SIG(0) support from named as a countermeasure for CVE-2024-1975. qctx-zversion was not being cleared when it should have been leading to an assertion failure if it needed to be reused. An excessively large number of rrtypes per owner can slow down database query processing, so a limit has been placed on the number of rrtypes that can be stored per owner (node) in a cache or zone database. This is configured with the new "max-rrtypes-per-name" option, and defaults to 100. Excessively large rdatasets can slow down database query processing, so a limit has been placed on the number of records that can be stored per rdataset in a cache or zone database. This is configured with the new "max-records-per-type" option, and defaults to 100.
