A DNSSEC validating resolver, specifically BIND 9 versions within the ranges 9.11.0-9.18.50, 9.20.0-9.20.24, 9.21.0-9.21.23, and their S1 variants, is vulnerable to a denial-of-service attack where an attacker can launch a random subdomain attack against a DNSSEC-signed zone by sending queries faster than the resolver can perform validation, leading to runaway memory usage and potentially exceeding configured limits by orders of magnitude.
