  • The validity period for the RRSIGs covering a zone's DNSKEY RRSet must be no less than two days and no more than one week.

    The best way for a zone administrator to minimize the impact of a key compromise is by limiting the validity period of RRSIGs in the zone and in the parent zone. This strategy limits the time durin...

  • The F5 BIG-IP DNS implementation must prohibit recursion on authoritative name servers.

    A potential vulnerability of DNS is that an attacker can poison a name server's cache by sending queries that will cause the server to obtain host-to-IP address mappings from bogus name servers tha...
