Hello Everyone!
Today, we announce the Knot DNS 1.4.5, which includes one security fix.
We found out, that the TSIG validation code contains a possible weakness. The
received TSIG digest was compared using string comparison functions, instead
of functions intended for binary data.
As a result, under certain conditions, the TSIG digest was compared only
partially. We believe that this has no huge security impact, but it is worth
fixing as soon as possible.
