Default DNSSEC signature can crash Bind name servers

From http://www.h-online.com/open/news/it...s-1251729.html

Quote:
Where a Bind name server is set up as a caching resolver, it is vulnerable to DoS attacks which could cause it to crash. ISC describes the issue in its advisory Large RRSIG RRsets and Negative Caching can crash named and categorises the problem, which can be triggered remotely, as 'high' severity.
