Hello everyone, We're happy to announce the availibility of the PowerDNS Recursor 3.7.4. This release in the 'old-stable' train of releases features a fix for the PowerDNS Security Advisory 2016-02[1], for which a minimal patch is available[2].
A changelog with clickable links is available[3] and follows: * Don't parse spurious RRs in queries when we don't need them (Security Advisory 2016-02) * Add some sanity checking to rec_control wipe-cache * recursor: Require = in forward-zones (Aki Tuomi) * recursor: when replacing an expired entry, move it to the back * add lowercase-outgoing flag * devpollmplexer is leaky (Josef 'Jeff' Sipek) * EMFILE was was reported as an error that could be blamed on the remote nameserver instead of on the OS, causing throttle actions. * mprove filedescriptor requesting code * devpollmplexer doesn't compile due to missing sigset_t (Josef 'Jeff' Sipek) * Update root hints for h.root-servers.net * Port the 0x20 hashing to 3.7.3 * Update YaHTTP (Aki Tuomi) We urge all users to upgrade to this new version. Tarballs with sources are available (with signatures)[4,5] and we urge all users to upgrade to this new version.
