powerdns-recursor -- insufficient validation of DNSSEC signatures

Affected packages

powerdns-recursor < 4.1.1

Details

VuXML ID 24a82876-002e-11e8-9a95-0cc47a02c232

Entry 2018-01-23

PowerDNS Security Advisory reports:

An issue has been found in the DNSSEC validation component of PowerDNS 
Recursor, allowing an ancestor delegation NSEC or NSEC3 record to be used to 
wrongfully prove the non-existence of a RR below the owner name of that 
record. This would allow an attacker in position of man-in-the-middle to send
a NXDOMAIN answer for a name that does exist.
