From 92124e84be68005be92cce046c7c679b98199d66 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jacek Migacz Date: Mon, 26 Feb 2024 13:56:36 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] resolved: reduce the maximum nsec3 iterations to 100 According to RFC9267, the 2500 value is not helpful, and in fact it can be harmful to permit a large number of iterations. Combined with limits on the number of signature validations, I expect this will mitigate the impact of maliciously crafted domains designed to cause excessive cryptographic work.
