[nsd-users] SIGSEGV in rbtree_find_less_equal

[Jeroen Koekkoek]

Hi Chris,

I've properly started looking into this yesterday. NSD definitely
shouldn't crash, still working on that.

However, the provided zone is invalid too(?) I'm not the foremost
expert on NSEC3 (or even DNSSEC), but is seems an NSEC3 is missing for
bar.foo.com. Empty non-terminals should still have an NSEC3 RR.

(Of course, the delegation point should be at bar.foo.com. too and
a.bar.foo.com. is an occluded name and this situation is purely
hypothetical).

I used the attached zone file along with the following commands to
generate a zone file to The input I used to generate:

ldns-keygen -a 13 -k foo.com
dnssec-signzone -3 AA61D5A398769C09 -H 0 -S -A -z -o foo.com.
foo.com.zone Kfoo.com.+013+58636

Doesn't get me the exact the same thing, but good enough to get the
same segfault.
