  graph. However, the RFCs do not require and BIND does not enforce that an asterisk character be
  present only at a terminal node.

  A problem can occur when an asterisk is present in an empty non-terminal location within the DNS
  graph. If such a node exists, after a series of queries, named can reach an inconsistent state
  that results in the failure of an assertion check in rbtdb.c, followed by the program exiting due
  to the assertion failure.");

  ('*') character, this defect cannot be encountered. A would-be attacker who is allowed to change
  zone content could theoretically introduce such a record in order to exploit this condition to
  cause denial of service, though we consider the use of this vector unlikely because any such
  attack would require a significant privilege level and be easily traceable.");
