BIND 9 is supposed to filter such garbage from upstream answers, but
there are other resolvers out there which will pass through such answers
unchanged, so this is very much CVE-worthy.
(This systemd component is optional, I strongly recommend not to ship
it. It's not even possible right now to dump the cache contents to
debug such issues.)
