What is CVE-2012-1570?

MaraDNS contains a vulnerability in its resolver due to improper handling of cached server names and TTL values in NS records. When processing responses to A record queries, this flaw can lead to the continued resolvability of revoked domain names, which facilitates a type of attack known as a 'ghost domain names' attack. Attackers can exploit this issue to maintain access to previously revoked domains, undermining the integrity of domain name resolutions.
