A malicious actor that can spoof the hostname's A/AAAA record (no valid RRSIG required) becomes the zone's XFR primary and can replaces the entire zone/the resolver's entire response policy."

Un actor malicioso que puede suplantar el registro A/AAAA del nombre de host (no se requiere RRSIG válido) se convierte en el primario XFR de la zona y puede reemplazar la zona completa/la política de respuesta completa del resolvedor."
