When the recursor is configured to run with more than one thread (threads=X) and to do the distribution of incoming queries to the worker threads itself (pdns-distributes-queries=yes), the Lua script is not properly loaded in the thread handling incoming TCP queries, causing the Lua hooks to not be properly applied. CVE-2019-3807: An issue has been found in PowerDNS Recursor where records in the answer section of responses received from authoritative servers with the AA flag not set were not properly validated, allowing an attacker to bypass DNSSEC validation. last seen 2020-03-18 modified 2019-01-29 plugin id 121427 published 2019-01-29 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2019-2020 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/121427 title FreeBSD : powerdns-recursor -- multiple vulnerabilities (40d92cc5-1e2b-11e9-bef6-6805ca2fa271)
