Hi Ondřej,

The DNS Root Key Signing Key (KSK) Rollover is scheduled for 11 October
2018 [1]. After this date, DNS resolvers will need to have the new key
(KSK-2017) to perform DNSSEC validation.

AFAICS, dnsruby has the KSK-2010 built-in [2], and enables dnssec by
default. Users or software relying on dnsruby may encounter problems
once the rollover occurs.

Unless #760469 got fixed (dnsruby: Please use root zone hints, key or
anchor from dns-root-data package), dnsruby should also include the
KSK-2017 key. Upstream has added it in the current master branch:

https://github.com/alexdalitz/dnsruby/commit/55edc31a2150e4617edb6664d440e6141f535e6a

Best regards,

 -- Santiago

P.S. Since dnssec seems to be enabled by default, the bug severity could
be maybe higher. But I let Ondřej decide :)
