Addresses could be referenced after being freed during resolver
processing, causing an assertion failure. The chances of this
happening were remote, but the introduction of a delay in
resolution increased them. This bug is disclosed in

<p>
The end-of-life date for BIND 9.12 has not yet been determined.
However, it is not intended to be an Extended Support Version (ESV)
branch; accordingly, support will end after the next stable
branch (9.14) becomes available. Those needing a longer-lived
branch are encouraged to use the current ESV, BIND 9.11, which
will be supported until December 2021. See
<a class="link" href="https://www.isc.org/downloads/software-support-policy/" target="_top">https://www.isc.org/downloads/software-support-policy/</a>
for details of ISC's software support policy.
