Bind 9.16.1 crash on Ubuntu

[Ben Bridges]

Hi Sergio,

I appreciate the information.  Are you sure, though, that the bug(s) you referenced are the applicable bugs in my case?  The bugs you referenced appear to be problems with dig in 9.18 on jammy.  In my case, it was named itself version 9.16 on focal that crashed.

What is the MIR list?

Thanks,
Ben

Hello Ben,

First of all, thanks for the interest in making Ubuntu better by
reporting bugs.

This is a known issue and I've been on top of it for a while now:

https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbugs.launchpad.net%2Fubuntu%2F%2Bsource%2Fbind9%2F%2Bbug%2F1258003&data=05%7C01%7Cbbridges%40springnet.net%7Cdbf29927b5bb447806b708dad9907be5%7Cd5c4167800674aa2b1d53a72abc6a57c%7C0%7C0%7C638061511836350626%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=a2Gl0gMBkjpeeOg5I4Im2a084cyuHyDcRhNpsNdUGn4%3D&reserved=0

Upstream is also aware of the issue, but unfortunately the fix is very
complicated and isn't totally done yet.  There are several sub-issues
affecting dig, host and other bind9 commands.  But things are
progressing.

The good news is that the Server team has plans to work on getting bind9
into the MIR list.  Ultimately, this means that minor version
updates/bugfixes should be much easier to do for us.

Please feel free to subscribe yourself to the bugs I linked above.
There hasn't been much movement lately, but we will soon get back to
them.

Cheers,
