Is z/OS vulnerable? If not, why not? If so, what is the fixing APAR?
It might be, but the way I am reading the information about the
vulnerability you have to have your DNS server setup for recursion.
Do you have your z/OS based DNS server(s) setup for recursion?
Recursion is the norm for DNS. I've never seen a DNS set up any other way.
It's been my experience that most DNS servers for private companies are
setup to forward to DNS servers that thier ISP provides. That way they
rely on their ISP's DNS server's cache and do one query instead of going
from the root dns servers, to the next level, to the next level, and so on.
