Description Huzaifa S. Sidhpurwala 2020-08-18 05:10:33 UTC
As per upstream advisory:

Change 4885 inadvertently caused "update-policy" rules of type "subdomain" to be treated as if they were of type "zonesub", allowing updates to all parts of the zone along with the intended subdomain.

An attacker who has been granted privileges to change a specific subset of the zone's content could abuse these unintended additional privileges to update other contents of the zone.

Comment 8 Petr Menšík 2020-09-03 16:51:53 UTC
This error was introduced by upstream change 8f1ed05dc0a[1], which is contained only in 9.11 branch. Previous release 9.9.4 already has correct difference between "zonesub" and "subdomain" types. This is kind of regression noted much later.
