      "value": "Hickory DNS hickory-proto 0.25.0-alpha.1 through 0.26.0-alpha.1 and hickory-net before 0.26.2 contain a logic bug in DnssecDnsHandle's DS-fetch path that caches transient DS lookup errors as Bogus DNSSEC validation verdicts. An attacker who induces a SERVFAIL, REFUSED, or timeout response to a child-zone DS sub-query causes the validator to return SERVFAIL for all names under that zone until the cache entry's TTL expires."
