+Notes for BIND 9.16.37
+----------------------
+
+Security Fixes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- An UPDATE message flood could cause :iscman:`named` to exhaust all
+ available memory. This flaw was addressed by adding a new
+ ``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`
+
+- :iscman:`named` could crash with an assertion failure when an RRSIG
+ query was received and ``stale-answer-client-timeout`` was set to a
+ non-zero value. This has been fixed. (CVE-2022-3736)
+
+ ISC would like to thank Borja Marcos from Sarenet (with assistance by
+ Iratxe Niño from Fundación Sarenet) for bringing this vulnerability to
+ our attention. :gl:`#3622`
+
+- :iscman:`named` running as a resolver with the
+ ``stale-answer-client-timeout`` option set to any value greater than
+ ``0`` could crash with an assertion failure, when the
+ ``recursive-clients`` soft quota was reached. This has been fixed.
+ (CVE-2022-3924)
+
+ ISC would like to thank Maksym Odinintsev from AWS for bringing this
+ vulnerability to our attention. :gl:`#3619`
+
+New Features
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- The new ``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`
+
+Feature Changes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- The Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) feature in BIND has been
+ deprecated. Configuring DSCP values in ``named.conf`` now causes a
+ warning to be logged. Note that this feature has only been partly
+ operational since the new Network Manager was introduced in BIND
+ 9.16.0. :gl:`#3773`
+
+- The catalog zone implementation has been optimized to work with
+ hundreds of thousands of member zones. :gl:`#3744`
+
+Bug Fixes
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+- In certain query resolution scenarios (e.g. when following CNAME
+ records), :iscman:`named` configured to answer from stale cache could
+ return a SERVFAIL response despite a usable, non-stale answer being
+ present in the cache. This has been fixed. :gl:`#3678`
+
+Known Issues
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- There are no new known issues with this release. See :ref:`above
+ <relnotes_known_issues>` for a list of all known issues affecting this
+ BIND 9 branch.
