That's surprising to me that DNS records received for domains not queried for can be set. I would expect DNS to require a query before being able to handle a response. I don't know why such behavior would ever be wanted.

RFC 2181 section 5.4.1 covers this a bit. Search for “additional data section”. So since at least 1997 you shouldn’t trust it. Subsequent rfcs also reference this topic a bit.
