Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for pdns-recursor.

It ws not important renough to get in in the last round of updates
AFAIU.

CVE-2026-52684[0]:
| If the auth responds very slowly and the records expire in between,
| the capping of TTLs is not enforced for lack of data. This does not
| happen on regular resolve as then then the  child records are used
| immediately if not expired and thus valid, or the  records are
| expired, and in that case not used.  So this case  can only happen
| if almost expired records are used to refresh the  authoritative NS
| records.


If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
