Hello everyone,

Today, we are releasing version 3.4.11 of the PowerDNS Authoritative Server. This release fixes several scurity issues that were reported to PowerDNS.

It concerns the following security advisories:

 * 2016-02: Crafted queries can cause abnormal CPU usage[1]
 * 2016-03: Denial of service via the web server[2]
 * 2016-04: Insufficient validation of TSIG signatures[3]
 * 2016-05: Crafted zone record can cause a denial of service[4]

For those who cannot update, minimal patches are available[5,6,7,8]

The full changelog is online[9] and reproduced here:

 * Don't parse spurious RRs in queries when we don't need them (Security Advisory 2016-02)
 * Don't exit if the webserver can't accept a connection (Security Advisory 2016-03)
 * Fix TSIG computation (Security Advisory 2016-04)
 * Correctly check unknown record content size (Security Advisory 2016-05)
 * Fix a possible memory leak in the webserver
 * Lowercase the qname in getDomainInfo() and isMaster()
 * Don't look up the packet cache for TSIG-enabled queries
 * Fix a stack-based off-by-one write in the HTTP remote backend

Tarballs with sources are available (with signatures)[10,11] and we urge all users to upgrade to this new version.

Best regards,

The PowerDNS team.
