+Notes for BIND 9.18.44
+----------------------
+
+Security Fixes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- [CVE-2025-13878] Fix incorrect length checks for BRID and HHIT
+  records.
+
+  Malformed BRID and HHIT records could trigger an assertion failure.
+  This has been fixed.
+
+  ISC would like to thank Vlatko Kosturjak from Marlink Cyber for
+  bringing this vulnerability to our attention. :gl:`#5616`
+
+Bug Fixes
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+- Allow glue in delegations with QTYPE=ANY.
+
+  When a query for type ANY triggered a delegation response, all
+  additional data was omitted from the response, including mandatory
+  glue. This has been corrected. :gl:`#5659`
+
+- Reconfigure NSEC3 opt-out zone to NSEC causes zone to be invalid.
+
+  A zone that is signed with NSEC3, opt-out enabled, and then
+  reconfigured to use NSEC, causes the zone to be published with missing
+  NSEC records. This has been fixed. :gl:`#5679`
