Incorrect Behaviour of Views with TCP PROXY Requests

The version of FreeBSD installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the 0823ac26-6040-11f1-ba4a-50ebf6bdf8e9 advisory.

    PowerDNS Team reports:
    2025-07: Internal logic flaw in cache management can lead to             a denial of service in Recursor     When using views, queries sent using TCP Proxy Protocol will select                 the view according to the address of the proxy, rather than the address                 of the initial query. This can lead to wrong data being returned.
    Missing escaping of special characters (such as $ or @) in DNS names                 received during an AXFR operation can lead to an incorrect                 (non-parseable) Bind backend configuration to be written, causing this                 backend to fail until manual operation is performed to fix the                 configuration.
    Missing sanity checks of the answer to the initial SOA query, when                 running in auto-secondary mode and receiving a notification for an                 not-yet-known domain may cause the server to crash.
    Multiple concurrency and locking defects in the GSS-TSIG code can                 lead to memory corruption due to accidental data structure sharing,                 which can in turn lead to a program crash.
    Missing proper escaping of double-quote characters when computing                 labels will cause AXFR of a catalog zone with a member whose producer                 group option contains such a character to fail.
