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 9.18.16
----------------------
Security Fixes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- The overmem cleaning process has been improved, to prevent the cache from
significantly exceeding the configured :any:`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`
New Features
~~~~~~~~~~~~
- The system test suite can now be executed with pytest (along with
pytest-xdist for parallel execution). :gl:`#3978`
Removed Features
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- TKEY mode 2 (Diffie-Hellman Exchanged Keying) is now deprecated, and
will be removed in a future release. A warning will be logged when
the :any:`tkey-dhkey` option is used in ``named.conf``. :gl:`#3905`
Bug Fixes
~~~~~~~~~
- BIND could get stuck on reconfiguration when a :any:`listen-on`
statement for HTTP is removed from the configuration. That has been
fixed. :gl:`#4071`
- Previously, it was possible for a delegation from cache to be returned
to the client after the :any:`stale-answer-client-timeout` duration.
This has been fixed. :gl:`#3950`
- BIND could allocate too big buffers when sending data via
stream-based DNS transports, leading to increased memory usage.
This has been fixed. :gl:`#4038`
- When the :any:`stale-answer-enable` option was enabled and the
:any:`stale-answer-client-timeout` option was enabled and larger than
0, :iscman:`named` previously allocated two slots from the
:any:`clients-per-query` limit for each client and failed to gradually
auto-tune its value, as configured. This has been fixed. :gl:`#4074`
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.
