Description

An issue has been found in the DNSSEC parsing code of PowerDNS Recursor from 4.0.0 and up to and including 4.0.6, during a code audit by Nixu, leading to a memory leak when parsing specially crafted DNSSEC ECDSA keys. These keys are only parsed when validation is enabled by setting 'dnssec' to a value other than 'off' or 'process-no-validate' (default).
