Isc bind9, reachable assertion: 10 records, one defect family

Isc bind9 has been reported 10 separate times for the same kind of mistake, CWE-617, between 2020-05-19 and 2022-05-19. A defect family is our own grouping of the CVE corpus: every record naming one product and one weakness class, collected so a repeat is visible as a repeat. No public source publishes this, and what this page counts is how often this one product has gone wrong in this one way.

What this page is, and what it is not

The records are public. This grouping is not. No source publishes defect families, so we built them: every record in the corpus sorted by the product an authority named and the weakness class carried with it, 21316 families over 105586 records. This one holds every record that names Isc bind9 and carries CWE-617, matched character for character. We show the join because a grouping you cannot check is a grouping you should not cite.

One record is an incident. 10 filings, between 2020-05-19 and 2022-05-19, all landing on the same weakness class in the same product, is a habit in what gets reported here, and a habit is something you can plan around. This is what we held on 2026-09-20.

A repeat is evidence about where to look. If you are reviewing Isc bind9, the records below say which mistake has already been found more than once, which is the cheapest place a reviewer can start. If you are asking the vendor a question, a count under one weakness class is a better question than any single record is.

What this page cannot tell you is decided by what was joined. A product name and a weakness class settled membership, so those two values are the whole of what the page asserts. Records here may sit in the same line of code or in unrelated parts of the product, and we hold no value that separates those cases. A fixed version named in one record closes that record and says nothing about the others. And nothing here describes anyone's systems, because no value in this family connects a product name to an installation.

6 of the 10 were published in 2020, and the rest are spread over 2.0 years, so this is one concentrated year with a tail rather than a steady rate.

The names the authorities used

One spelling, used by every authority that filed one of these records: isc bind9.

Family membership: held values. Joined on the product and weakness class the assigning authorities wrote, with no model involved.

What the records offer

4 of 10 records publish a fixed version. For the other 6, held sources name none.

The earliest was published 2020-05-19 and the latest 2022-05-19. That span is how long this product kept producing this weakness, not how long any one record took to fix.

What this page does not cover

This is a family of records that read alike. It is not a shared vulnerability, not an inventory, and not a statement that one fix closes the rest. Each record's own state, its own dates and its own receipts are on its own page.

Grouped by shared product and weakness, not by shared vulnerability. Each record's own state is on its own page.
