An update that solves two vulnerabilities can now be installed.

## Description:

This update for bind fixes the following issues:

  * CVE-2024-1737: It is possible to craft excessively large numbers of resource
    record types for a given owner name, which has the effect of slowing down
    database processing. This has been addressed by adding a configurable limit
    to the number of records that can be stored per name and type in a cache or
    zone database. The default is 100, which can be tuned with the new max-
    types-per-name option. (bsc#1228256)
  * CVE-2024-1975: Validating DNS messages signed using the SIG(0) protocol (RFC
    2931) could cause excessive CPU load, leading to a denial-of-service
    condition. Support for SIG(0) message validation was removed from this
    version of named. (bsc#1228257)
