Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity due to improper validation routines that treat entire sets of DNSKEY records as trusted once they have established trust in only one of the DNSKEYs. Additionally, this can be exploited by an authenticated DS record covering one DNSKEY, leading to trust in signatures made by an unrelated DNSKEY in the same zone.
