Comment 1 Martin Osvald 🛹 2025-02-05 06:20:33 UTC
This affects only dns server because the flaw happens when bind asks for answers from other dns servers/resolvers that contain more entries in rdata section which is apparently causing extra iterations/cpu consumption at the bind side, not in dhcp server updating clients' ip with bind or looking up the current records for clients.
