This update fixes bugs and the following security issues: An assertion could occur in resume_dslookup() if the fetch had been shut down earlier. Lookups involving a DNAME could trigger an INSIST when "synth-from-dnssec" was enabled. A synchronous call to closehandle_cb() caused isc__nm_process_sock_buffer() to be called recursively, which in turn left TCP connections hanging in the CLOSE_WAIT state blocking indefinitely when out-of-order processing was disabled. The rules for acceptance of records into the cache have been tightened to prevent the possibility of poisoning if forwarders send records outside the configured bailiwick.
