hickory-net is vulnerable to Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature
30
Low Risk
This Affects:
hickory-netTL;DR
During DNSSEC validation, public keys are compared against configured trust anchors without regard for the DNSKEY record's owner name. If every DNSKEY in an RRset is a trusted key, verification succeeds without checking any RRSIGs. This lets a secure zone's DNSKEY RRset be replaced with the root zone's keys without detection, and a large TTL can extend the effect. The fix checks the DNSKEY name against the trust anchor.
Who does this affect?
You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range and you have DNSSEC validation enabled
