+----------------------
+
+Security Fixes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- [CVE-2026-1519] Fix unbounded NSEC3 iterations when validating
+  referrals to unsigned delegations.
+
+  DNSSEC-signed zones may contain high iteration-count NSEC3 records,
+  which prove that certain delegations are insecure. Previously, a
+  validating resolver encountering such a delegation processed these
+  iterations up to the number given, which could be a maximum of 65,535.
+  This has been addressed by introducing a processing limit, set at 50.
+  Now, if such an NSEC3 record is encountered, the delegation will be
+  treated as insecure.
+
+  ISC would like to thank Samy Medjahed/Ap4sh for bringing this
+  vulnerability to our attention. :gl:`#5708`
+
+- [CVE-2026-3104] Fix memory leaks in code preparing DNSSEC proofs of
+  non-existence.
+
+  An attacker controlling a DNSSEC-signed zone could trigger a memory
+  leak in the logic preparing DNSSEC proofs of non-existence, by
+  creating more than :any:`max-records-per-type` RRSIGs for NSEC
+  records. These memory leaks have been fixed.
+
+  ISC would like to thank Vitaly Simonovich for bringing this
+  vulnerability to our attention. :gl:`#5742`
+
+- [CVE-2026-3119] Prevent a crash in code processing queries containing
+  a TKEY record.
+
+  The :iscman:`named` process could terminate unexpectedly when
+  processing a correctly signed query containing a TKEY record. This has
+  been fixed.
+
+  ISC would like to thank Vitaly Simonovich for bringing this
+  vulnerability to our attention. :gl:`#5748`
+
+- [CVE-2026-3591] Fix a stack use-after-return flaw in SIG(0) handling
+  code.
+
+  A stack use-after-return flaw in SIG(0) handling code could enable ACL
+  bypass and/or assertion failures in certain circumstances. This flaw
+  has been fixed.
+
+  ISC would like to thank Mcsky23 for bringing this vulnerability to our
+  attention. :gl:`#5754`
+
+Bug Fixes
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+- Resolve "key defined in view is not found"
+
+  Commit `2956e4fc` hardened the `key` name check when used in
+  `primaries` to reject the configuration if the key was not defined,
+  rather than simply checking whether the key name was correctly formed.
+
+  However, the key name check didn't include the view configuration,
+  causing keys not to be recognized if they were defined inside the view
+  and not at the global level.  This regression is now fixed.
+  :gl:`#5761`
