What to do

  1. Check whether any servers run BIND on Ubuntu 26.10 and review the Ubuntu notice USN-8969-1 for the fixed packages.
  2. Install the updated BIND packages once they are available on your systems.
  3. Prioritise secondary servers that accept zone transfers, given the TSIG and cache poisoning issues.
