ICAAN Domain Name System (DNS) Vulnerabilities - Security Paper Released

ICANN urges any entity operating name services to update to the current versions to provide greatest protection.

The details of the vulnerabilities have not yet been disclosed publicly at this stage so that developers can produce patches to reduce the threat these vulnerabilities pose. Private disclosures of this kind also give DNS operators an opportunity to patch systems before the vulnerabilities can be exploited for malicious or criminal purposes. ICANN understands there will be a public announcement of these vulnerabilities by the researcher in coming weeks.
