Description Pedro Sampaio 2017-10-27 10:11:08 EDT
A vulnerability was discovered in DNSSEC. Processing of wildcard synthesized NSEC records may result in improper validation for non-existance in some implementations of DNSSEC. While synthesis of NSEC records is allowed by RFC4592, the synthesized owner names should not be used in the NSEC processing.
