9.11.5-P4 

  * CVE-2018-5744: A specially crafted packet can cause named to leak
    memory

  * CVE-2018-5745: An assertion failure can occur if a trust anchor
    rolls over to an unsupported key algorithm when using managed-keys
    <https://lists.isc.org/pipermail/bind-announce/2019-February/001116.html>

  * CVE-2019-6465: Controls for zone transfers might not be properly

please add just the CVE references to the commit message.

The 9.11 series is a Extended Supported Version. (ESV) release.  Use the
software for Production Environments needing infrequent upgrades and no
new features.

Not at all. We have entered 2.7 M3 which includes freezing package
updates. The ones that have the best chance of getting in are ones that
are bugfixes and or include CVE fixes. Without any information, the
chance on being included goes down. Having more info in the commit
message helps Richard and Ross to decide if they should include it.

Master tends to have  a very liberal update policy, it should now be
closed for stabilization with the possible exceptions I mentioned before.

I am the package maintainer and I appreciate folks helping me support
the packages I maintain with in updates and fixes.
