RHEL Packaging Agent a33625773e Fix CVE-2026-10723: validate NSEC3 signer matches owning zone
Backport upstream fix for CVE-2026-10723 to bind-9.18.33.
The patch adds NSEC3 signer validation in dns_dnssec_verify()
to reject signatures whose signer field doesn't match the zone
owning the NSEC3 record. This prevents a child zone from
impersonating its parent zone and forging NXDOMAIN responses
for sibling domains. The error message for DNS_R_INVALIDNSEC3
is also updated to reflect the broader scope of the check.

Subject: [PATCH] Check NSEC3 signer matches the owning zone
When validating NSEC3 records, reject any signature whose signer field
does not match the zone owning the NSEC3.
This ensures that a child zone cannot impersonate its parent and forge
NXDOMAIN responses for sibling domains.
Fixes: isc-projects/bind9#5874
(cherry picked from commit 6e5066bb1f0f12d090e8707adb7d6ccf74f8012b)
