Of course, this may not qualify for "serious", given the very specific nature of the issue.
- tptacek 16y agoThe bug you cited is hard to explain in less than 4 sentences (I just tried, hard) and allows people to whom you've given control over some of your DNS records to take control over more of your DNS records. PowerDNS, on the other hand, has had remote buffer overflows. Again, your call.
