Hello Friends
Did I miss something, I seem to be way ahead of the curve. Running 9.12.4 I am not a Math Major, so I might be wrong, but isn’t 9.11.20 a lower rev?
9.12.4 seems to run dandy, reports ip4 and ip6 addresses, does not hog cpu. Did I do something wrong?
As you will note here:
https://bind.isc.org/
9.11 is an ESV (Extended Service Release). 9.11.20 is indeed newer than 9.12.4.
BIND 9.12.4 was a maintenance release, specifically to address issues disclosed in CVE-2018-5744, CVE-2018-5745, and CVE-2019-6465.
9.11.20, OTOH, addresses all security issues up through CVE-2020-8619:
https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/bind9/-/blob/v9_11/README.md
Not every higher version number necessarily denotes a *newer* or more secure one. 9.12 was a development branch; 9.11 is a stable one.
9.16 is current, and will eventually become an ESV (I believe), so at some point, that should become our target.
