Several vulnerabilities were discovered in BIND, a DNS server

Greg Kuechle discovered that a malformed incoming IXFR transfer
could trigger an assertion failure in named, resulting in denial
of service.
CVE-2021-25215
Siva Kakarla discovered that named could crash when a DNAME record
placed in the ANSWER section during DNAME chasing turned out to be
the final answer to a client query.
CVE-2021-25216
It was discovered that the SPNEGO implementation used by BIND is
prone to a buffer overflow vulnerability. This update switches to
use the SPNEGO implementation from the Kerberos libraries.

version 1:9.11.5.P4+dfsg-5.1+deb10u5.
We recommend that you upgrade your bind9 packages.
