The bugs are in code which optimizes searching through multiple policy zones. In some cases, they can cause RPZ to behave inefficiently by searching for query matches in more policy zones than are strictly necessary, or to behave unpredictably by failing to search a policy zone that should have been searched. In the worst case, they can lead to assertion failures, terminating <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span>. </p> </div> <div class="sect2" lang="en"> <div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"> <a name="relnotes_download"></a>Download</h3></div></div></div> <p> The latest versions of BIND 9 software can always be found at <a href="http://www.isc.org/downloads/" target="_top">http://www.isc.org/downloads/</a>.

[RT #39415] </p></li> <li><p> On servers with one or more policy zones configured as slaves, if a policy zone updated during regular operation (rather than at startup) using a full zone reload, such as via AXFR, a bug could allow the RPZ summary data to fall out of sync, potentially leading to an assertion failure in rpz.c when further incremental updates were made to the zone, such as via IXFR. [RT #39567] </p></li> <li><p> The server could match a shorter prefix than what was available in CLIENT-IP policy triggers, and so, an unexpected action could be taken. This has been corrected.
