Package: bind9

Severity: critical

Hi.

I think this is quite security critical,... if my observations should prove wrong, decrease than please priority ;)

When bind is configured to us TSIGs between master and slave when tranferring a zone, via a
master 1.2.3.4 key somekey;
statement in a slave zone it should probably not accept such incoming transfers from the master at 1.2.3.4 if somekey is no configured at all in the local bind.
I does however:
Nov 6 01:10:05 kronecker named[21547]: zone example.com/IN: unable to find key: a.example.net-b.example.net
Nov  6 01:10:05 kronecker named[21547]: zone example.com/IN: Transfer started.

I think this is quite critical as typos could easily happen, and bind does not even refuse to start when a key that is referenced somewhere wasn't declared.

Regards,
Chris.

Perhaps this should be sent to upstream, too.
