+6064.  [security]      An UPDATE message flood could cause named to exhaust all
+                       available memory. This flaw was addressed by adding a
+                       new "update-quota" statement that controls the number of
+                       simultaneous UPDATE messages that can be processed or
+                       forwarded. The default is 100. A stats counter has been
+                       added to record events when the update quota is
+                       exceeded, and the XML and JSON statistics version
+                       numbers have been updated. (CVE-2022-3094) [GL #3523]

 Security Fixes
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
-- None.
+- An UPDATE message flood could cause :iscman:`named` to exhaust all
+  available memory. This flaw was addressed by adding a new
+  :any:`update-quota` option that controls the maximum number of
+  outstanding DNS UPDATE messages that :iscman:`named` can hold in a
+  queue at any given time (default: 100). (CVE-2022-3094)
+
+  ISC would like to thank Rob Schulhof from Infoblox for bringing this
+  vulnerability to our attention. :gl:`#3523`
 
 New Features
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
-- None.
+- The new :any:`update-quota` option can be used to control the number
+  of simultaneous DNS UPDATE messages that can be processed to update an
+  authoritative zone on a primary server, or forwarded to the primary
+  server by a secondary server. The default is 100. A new statistics
+  counter has also been added to record events when this quota is
+  exceeded, and the version numbers for the XML and JSON statistics
+  schemas have been updated. :gl:`#3523`
