Fedora 30: FEDORA-2019-44ccfa9b29 Critical: Knot-Resolver DoS Fix

fedora
Calendar Grey December 12, 2019
Dist Fedora Esm H88
The latest update for Fedora 30's knot-resolver fixes significant vulnerabilities and improves overall functionality.
- update to upstream version 4.3.0 - fixes CVE-2019-19331 - root.keys is moved to /var/lib/knot-resolver - knot-resolver no longer requires write permission to /etc/knot-resolver/

Summary

The Knot Resolver is a DNSSEC-enabled caching full resolver implementation

written in C and LuaJIT, including both a resolver library and a daemon.

Modular architecture of the library keeps the core tiny and efficient, and

provides a state-machine like API for extensions.

The package is pre-configured as local caching resolver.

To start using it, start a single kresd instance:

$ systemctl start kresd@1.service
