CVE-2016-7074 describes a man-in-the-middle vulnerability in PowerDNS authoritative servers (versions before 3.4.11 and 4.0.2) and PowerDNS recursors (before 4.0.4). This flaw allows an attacker to alter AXFR content due to insufficient validation of TSIG signatures, specifically a missing check that the TSIG record is the last one. Rated Medium severity (CVSS 5.9), it requires high attack complexity but could lead to high integrity impact without user interaction. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion surrounding this vulnerability.
