# Security Matrices for Obsolete BIND Branches

The vulnerability matrix for each obsolete branch of BIND is kept available for historical reference. For currently supported releases, see the [BIND 9 Software Vulnerability Matrix](/docs/aa-00913) instead.

SECURITY WARNING

Obsolete versions of BIND are all ***known to be vulnerable***. ISC strongly recommends upgrading to a current version as soon as practical.

The obsolete matrices will ***not be updated to reflect new vulnerabilities***. You ***must assume you are vulnerable*** if you are running an obsolete version.

For more information, see [ISC's Software Support Policy and Version Numbering](/docs/aa-00896).

Each major branch is given its own page. Click the link for a given version to see the details for that branch.
