| Doc Text: |
A flaw was found in Hickory DNS. The validating recursive resolver incorrectly processes Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC) Next Secure (NSEC) records by accepting parent-level records as proof that child domains do not exist. A remote attacker or rogue nameserver can exploit this vulnerability by providing forged negative responses, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) that prevents users from resolving legitimate domain names.
