Description D'juan McDonald (domhnall) 2018-09-24 05:16:55 UTC 
from $URL

Description: 

"deny-answer-aliases" is a little-used feature intended to help recursive server operators protect end users against DNS rebinding attacks, a potential method of circumventing the security model used by client browsers.  However, a defect in this feature makes it easy, when the feature is in use, to experience an assertion failure in name.c.
