Source
Severity Medium
Remote Yes
Type Insufficient validation
Description
An issue has been found in PowerDNS Recursor before 4.3.1 and 4.2.2 where records in the answer section of a NXDOMAIN response lacking an SOA were not properly validated in SyncRes::processAnswer. This would allow an attacker in position of man-in-the-middle to send a NXDOMAIN answer for a name that does exist, bypassing DNSSEC validation.
