When recursion is enabled but the <span class="command"><strong>allow-recursion</strong></span>
and <span class="command"><strong>allow-query-cache</strong></span> ACLs are not specified, they
should be limited to local networks, but they were inadvertently set
to match the default <span class="command"><strong>allow-query</strong></span>, thus allowing
remote queries. This flaw is disclosed in CVE-2018-5738. [GL #309]

<span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span> now supports the "root key sentinel"
mechanism. This enables validating resolvers to indicate
which trust anchors are configured for the root, so that
information about root key rollover status can be gathered.
To disable this feature, add

<code class="filename">named.conf</code>.
