Summary
The resolver in PowerDNS Recursor (aka pdns_recursor) 3.3 overwrites cached server names and TTL values in NS records during the processing of a response to an A record query, which allows remote attackers to trigger continued resolvability of revoked domain names via a "ghost domain names" attack.

It is, therefore, affected by a ghost domain names vulnerability in the resolver service due to overwriting cached name servers and TTL values in NS records when processing a response of an A record query. A remote attacker can exploit this to resume the resolving of revoked domain names.
