CVE-2017-15107

An interesting problem has turned up in DNSSEC validation. It turns out
that NSEC records expanded from wildcards are allowed, so a domain can
include an NSEC record for *.example.org and an actual query reply could
expand that to anything in example.org  and still have it signed by the
signature for the wildcard. So, for example

!.example.org NSEC zz.example.org

is fine.

The problem is that most implementers (your author included, but also
the Google public DNS people, powerdns and Unbound) then took that
record to prove the nothing exists between !.example.org and
zz.example.org, whereas in fact it only provides that proof between
*.example.org and zz.example.org.

This gives an attacker a way to prove that anything between
!.example.org and *.example.org doesn't exists, when it may well do so.

+Subject: [PATCH] DNSSEC fix for wildcard NSEC records. CVE-2017-15107
+ applies.
+
+It's OK for NSEC records to be expanded from wildcards,
+but in that case, the proof of non-existence is only valid
+starting at the wildcard name, *.<domain> NOT the name expanded
+from the wildcard. Without this check it's possible for an
+attacker to craft an NSEC which wrongly proves non-existence
+in a domain which includes a wildcard for NSEC.
