Backport upstream fix for CVE-2026-10723 to bind-9.16.23.
The patch adds NSEC3 signer validation in lib/dns/dnssec.c,
rejecting signatures whose signer doesn't match the owning
zone apex. This prevents a child zone from impersonating its
parent and forging NXDOMAIN responses for sibling domains.

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.
|
