[Pdns-users] HINFO records corrupted

Hello,

HINFO records are corrupted by PowerDNS (Version 2.9.16). Both the server 
(pdns_server) and the optional recursor (pdns_recursor) are affected.

The content of HINFO records are not parsed correctly leading to garbage in 
a query to the resolver. When doing slave service for some zone with HINFO 
records in it, the database rejects the garbage in the content field 
(invalid unicode characters for PostgreSQL, other backends may give 
different errors). In case of the bind backend the garbage is written to 
the zone file, which in turn is unparseable.


Best regards

Volker Götz
