A bunch of vulnerabilities have been found in the Authoritative and Recursor servers. Here’s the list of security advisories:

I’m surprised this hasn’t been mentioned on these lists yet.
RIPE DNS Enthusiasts,
FOSDEM is the Free and Open Source Developers European Meeting. If you
are involved in any way with open source software and can get the
weekend free, it is very cool. This year we will have a DNS devroom.

If anything changes, we'll update that post, so please check there if
you have questions. Also, our apologies if you receive multiple copies
of this CfP via different mailing lists. ]
After two successful BoF sessions at FOSDEM 2016 and 2017, FOSDEM 2018
will see a real DNS devroom! We hope to host talks anywhere from
hardcore protocol stuff, to practical sessions for programmers that are
not directly involved with DNS but may have to deal with DNS in their
day to day coding, or system administrators responsible for DNS
infrastructure.
We have been allotted half a day on Sunday 4 February 2018. We expect to
schedule 30 minutes per talk, including questions, but this is open to
discussion.
If you have something you'd like to share with your fellow developers,
please head to pentabarf at:
https://penta.fosdem.org/submission/FOSDEM18
Examples of topics are measuring, monitoring, DNS libraries, and
anecdotes on how you've (ab)used the DNS.
The deadline for submission is December 8th. If you have a FOSDEM
pentabarf account from a previous year, please use that account. Reach
out to dns-devroom-manager(a)fosdem.org if you run into any trouble.
We are also looking for volunteers to help with cameras etc. Please drop
us an email at dns-devroom-manager(a)fosdem.org if you're interested in
helping out.
See you there!
Cheers,
Peter van Dijk, Shane Kerr, Pieter Lexis
Dear colleagues,
Here is a summary of a research paper written by Wes Hardaker, Wouter de
Vries and Ricardo Schmidt:
Verfploeter: Broad and Load-aware Anycast Mapping
IP anycast provides DNS operators and CDNs with automatic fail-over and
reduced latency by breaking the Internet into catchments, each served by
a different anycast site.

Hello RIPE DNS working group,
Here is a message from Matt Larson about the status of the root KSK roll
for anyone who is not on the dns-operations mailing list and might find
it useful or interesting.

Dear colleagues,
We are working on an experiment to see if we can increase the capacity
and resiliency of the RIPE NCC's authoritative DNS service (AS197000).
This service hosts all the reverse DNS zones, ripe.net and provides
secondary service for various ccTLDs.
Please find more details on RIPE Labs:
