    Package        : dns-root-data
    Version        : 2024071801~deb11u1
    Debian Bug     : #1076995

    The dns-root-data package contains DNS root zone data as published by
    IANA to be used as initial source by DNS software. This release adds
    the DNSKEY record for the KSK-2024 trust anchor. This new key is
    planned for use starting October 2026, and the previous one (KSK-2017)
    should be revoked January 2027, leaving time to propagate the new
    trust anchor, or roll to it sooner in case of emergency.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version
    2024071801~deb11u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your dns-root-data packages.

    For the detailed security status of dns-root-data please refer to
    its security tracker page at:
    https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/dns-root-data

    these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be
