cause the server to exit by inserting a crafted record in a MASTER type zone under their control. The

issue is due to the fact that the Authoritative Server will exit when it runs into a parsing error while

looking up the NS/A/AAAA records it is about to use for an outgoing notify.

CVE-2019-10163: An issue has been found in PowerDNS Authoritative Server allowing a remote, authorized

master server to cause a high CPU load or even prevent any further updates to any slave zone by sending

a large number of NOTIFY messages. Note that only servers configured as slaves are affected by this issue.
