Hi @sam_c!

This CVE refers to the project knot-resolver (https://www.knot-resolver.cz/ // https://gitlab.labs.nic.cz/knot/knot-resolver // https://repology.org/project/knot-resolver) but we haven't any ebuild for it, yet.

Ebuilds 'net-dns/knot' is for the project knot-dns (https://www.knot-dns.cz/ // https://gitlab.labs.nic.cz/knot/knot-dns // https://repology.org/project/knot).

Both projects shares the libknot and are made by the same people, but knot-dns is the authoritative server (like 'net-dns/nsd') and knot-resolver is the domain name resolver (like 'net-dns/unbound').

Please mark this bug as INVALID.
