Michal Nowak 1e75f3ae33 Add a Sphinx role for linking CVEs to the ISC Knowledgebase
The new :cve: Sphinx role takes a CVE number as an argument and creates
a hyperlink to the relevant ISC Knowledgebase document that might have
more up-to-date or verbose information than the relevant release note.
This makes reaching ISC Knowledgebase pages directly from the release
notes easier.

Make all CVE references in the release notes use the new Sphinx role.

Notes for BIND 9.16.42
----------------------
Security Fixes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- The overmem cleaning process has been improved, to prevent the cache
from significantly exceeding the configured ``max-cache-size`` limit.
:cve:`2023-2828`
ISC would like to thank Shoham Danino from Reichman University, Anat
Bremler-Barr from Tel-Aviv University, Yehuda Afek from Tel-Aviv
University, and Yuval Shavitt from Tel-Aviv University for bringing
this vulnerability to our attention. :gl:`#4055`
- A query that prioritizes stale data over lookup triggers a fetch to
refresh the stale data in cache. If the fetch is aborted for exceeding
the recursion quota, it was possible for :iscman:`named` to enter an
infinite callback loop and crash due to stack overflow. This has been
fixed. :cve:`2023-2911` :gl:`#4089`
Bug Fixes
~~~~~~~~~
- Previously, it was possible for a delegation from cache to be returned
to the client after the ``stale-answer-client-timeout`` duration.
This has been fixed. :gl:`#3950`
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.
