Hello list!
Today, Knot DNS version 1.5.2 has been released by CZ.NIC Labs. This is
a bugfix release. Unfortunately, while doing some internal testing,
we've found a remote vulnerability that can crash the server. So far,
we've had no reports that would suggest that someone else has discovered
this vulnerability, but it is important all users upgrade as soon as
possible. CVE for this vulnerability is CVE-2014-0486.
We've also included a couple more fixes: Knot was refusing AXFR-style
IXFR transfers, meaning these transfers had to be sent twice. Further,
Knot was not properly escaping the hash character in domain names when
saving the text zone file.
