Frequently Asked Questions

1

What is the practical impact of this issue?

Netfoil may continue serving stale records because their TTL is not decremented. Consumers relying on TTL expiry may receive outdated DNS data longer than intended.

2

How can I determine whether my deployment is affected?

Review the Netfoil version or source in use and check whether it includes the fix from commit ea42977900c864b7b1c42f26c5870c86008118a0. Deployments that serve cached records are relevant because the issue concerns TTL handling.
