-Notes for BIND 9.15.0
-
- Security Fixes
-
-
-
- In certain configurations, named could crash
- with an assertion failure if nxdomain-redirect
- was in use and a redirected query resulted in an NXDOMAIN from the
- cache. This flaw is disclosed in CVE-2019-6467. [GL #880]
-
-
-
-
- The TCP client quota set using the tcp-clients
- option could be exceeded in some cases. This could lead to
- exhaustion of file descriptors. This flaw is disclosed in
- CVE-2018-5743. [GL #615]
-
-
-
-
-
- New Features
-
-
-
- The new add-soa option specifies whether
- or not the response-policy zone's SOA record
- should be included in the additional section of RPZ responses.
- [GL #865]
-
-
-
-
-
- Removed Features
-
-
-
- The dnssec-enable option has been obsoleted and
- no longer has any effect. DNSSEC responses are always enabled
- if signatures and other DNSSEC data are present. [GL #866]
-
-
-
-
-
- Feature Changes
-
-
-
- When static and managed DNSSEC keys were both configured for the
- same name, or when a static key was used to
- configure a trust anchor for the root zone and
- dnssec-validation was set to the default
- value of auto, automatic RFC 5011 key
- rollovers would be disabled. This combination of settings was
- never intended to work, but there was no check for it in the
- parser. This has been corrected, and it is now a fatal
- configuration error. [GL #868]
-
-
-
-
- DS and CDS records are now generated with SHA-256 digests
- only, instead of both SHA-1 and SHA-256. This affects the
- default output of dnssec-dsfromkey, the
- dsset files generated by
- dnssec-signzone, the DS records added to
- a zone by dnssec-signzone based on
- keyset files, the CDS records added to
- a zone by named and
- dnssec-signzone based on "sync" timing
- parameters in key files, and the checks performed by
- dnssec-checkds.
-
-
-
-
-
- Bug Fixes
-
-
-
- The allow-update and
- allow-update-forwarding options were
- inadvertently treated as configuration errors when used at the
- options or view level.
- This has now been corrected.
- [GL #913]

- This flaw is disclosed in CVE-2019-6471. [GL #942]
-
-
-
-
-
- New Features
-
-
-
- In order to clarify the configuration of DNSSEC keys,
- the trusted-keys and
- managed-keys statements have been
- deprecated, and the new dnssec-keys
- statement should now be used for both types of key.
-
-
- When used with the keyword initial-key,
- dnssec-keys has the same behavior as
- managed-keys, i.e., it configures
- a trust anchor that is to be maintained via RFC 5011.
-
-
- When used with the new keyword static-key, it
- has the same behavior as trusted-keys,
- configuring a permanent trust anchor that will not automatically
- be updated. (This usage is not recommended for the root key.)
- [GL #6]
-
-
-
-

- Removed Features
-
-
-
- The cleaning-interval option has been

-
-
-
- named will now log a warning if
- a static key is configured for the root zone. [GL #6]
-
-
-
-
- JSON-C is now the only supported library for enabling JSON
- support for BIND statistics. The configure
- option has been renamed from --with-libjson
- to --with-json-c. Use
- PKG_CONFIG_PATH to specify a custom path to
- the json-c library as the new
- configure option does not take the library

-Notes for BIND 9.15.2
-
- New Features
-
-
-
- The GeoIP2 API from MaxMind is now supported. Geolocation support
- will be compiled in by default if the libmaxminddb
- library is found at compile time, but can be turned off by using
- configure --disable-geoip.
-
-
- The default path to the GeoIP2 databases will be set based
- on the location of the libmaxminddb library;
- for example, if it is in /usr/local/lib,
- then the default path will be
- /usr/local/share/GeoIP.
- This value can be overridden in named.conf
- using the geoip-directory option.
-
-
- Some geoip ACL settings that were available with
- legacy GeoIP, including searches for netspeed,
- org, and three-letter ISO country codes, will
- no longer work when using GeoIP2. Supported GeoIP2 database
- types are country, city,
- domain, isp, and
- as. All of these databases support both IPv4
- and IPv6 lookups. [GL #182] [GL #1112]
-
-
-
-
- Two new metrics have been added to the
- statistics-channel to report DNSSEC
- signing operations. For each key in each zone, the
- dnssec-sign counter indicates the total
- number of signatures named has generated
- using that key since server startup, and the
- dnssec-refresh counter indicates how
- many of those signatures were refreshed during zone
- maintenance, as opposed to having been generated
- as a result of a zone update. [GL #513]
-
-
-
-
-
- Bug Fixes
-
-
-
- When qname-minimization was set to
- relaxed, some improperly configured domains
- would fail to resolve, but would have succeeded when minimization
- was disabled. named will now fall back to normal
- resolution in such cases, and also uses type A rather than NS for
- minimal queries in order to reduce the likelihood of encountering
- the problem. [GL #1055]
-
-
-
-
- ./configure no longer sets
- --sysconfdir to /etc or
- --localstatedir to /var
- when --prefix is not specified and the
- aforementioned options are not specified explicitly. Instead,
- Autoconf's defaults of $prefix/etc and
- $prefix/var are respected.
-
-
-
-
- Glue address records were not being returned in responses
- to root priming queries; this has been corrected. [GL #1092]

-
-
-
- DNSSEC Lookaside Validation (DLV) is now obsolete.
- The dnssec-lookaside option has been
- marked as deprecated; when used in named.conf,
- it will generate a warning but will otherwise be ignored.
- All code enabling the use of lookaside validation has been removed
- from the validator, delv, and the DNSSEC tools.
- [GL #7]
-
-
-
-
-
- Feature Changes
-
-
-
- A SipHash 2-4 based DNS Cookie (RFC 7873) algorithm has been added and
- made default. Old non-default HMAC-SHA based DNS Cookie algorithms
- have been removed, and only the default AES algorithm is being kept
- for legacy reasons. This change doesn't have any operational impact
- in most common scenarios. [GL #605]
-
-
- If you are running multiple DNS Servers (different versions of BIND 9
- or DNS server from multiple vendors) responding from the same IP
- address (anycast or load-balancing scenarios), you'll have to make
- sure that all the servers are configured with the same DNS Cookie
- algorithm and same Server Secret for the best performance.
-
-
-
-
- The information from the dnssec-signzone and
- dnssec-verify commands is now printed to standard
- output. The standard error output is only used to print warnings and
- errors, and in case the user requests the signed zone to be printed to
- standard output with -f - option. A new
- configuration option -q has been added to silence
- all output on standard output except for the name of the signed zone.
-
-
-
-
- DS records included in DNS referral messages can now be validated
- and cached immediately, reducing the number of queries needed for
- a DNSSEC validation. [GL #964]
-
-
-
-
-
- Bug Fixes
-
-
-
- Cache database statistics counters could report invalid values
- when stale answers were enabled, because of a bug in counter
- maintenance when cache data becomes stale. The statistics counters
- have been corrected to report the number of RRsets for each
- RR type that are active, stale but still potentially served,
- or stale and marked for deletion. [GL #602]
-
-
-
-
- Interaction between DNS64 and RPZ No Data rule (CNAME *.) could
- cause unexpected results; this has been fixed. [GL #1106]
-
-
-
-
- named-checkconf now checks DNS64 prefixes
- to ensure bits 64-71 are zero. [GL #1159]

-
-
- A new asynchronous network communications system based on
- libuv is now used by named
- for listening for incoming requests and responding to them.
- This change will make it easier to improve performance and
- implement new protocol layers (for example, DNS over TLS) in
- the future. [GL #29]
-
-
-
-
- The new dnssec-policy option allows the
- configuration key and signing policy (KASP) for zones. This
- option enables named to generate new keys
- as needed and automatically roll both ZSK and KSK keys.
- (Note that the syntax for this statement differs from the DNSSEC
- policy used by dnssec-keymgr.) [GL #1134]
-
-
-
-
- Two new keywords have been added to the
- dnssec-keys statement:
- initial-ds and static-ds.
- These allow the use of trust anchors in DS format instead of
- DNSKEY format. DS format allows trust anchors to be configured
- for keys that have not yet been published; this is the format
- used by IANA when announcing future root keys.
-
-
- As with the initial-key and
- static-key keywords, initial-ds
- configures a dynamic trust anchor to be maintained via RFC 5011, and
- static-ds configures a permanent trust anchor.
-
-
- (Note: Currently, DNSKEY-format and DS-format trust anchors
- cannot both be used for the same domain name.) [GL #6] [GL #622]

- has handled while running. [GL #1206]

-Note on Version Numbering
-
- Until BIND 9.12, new feature development releases were tagged
- as "alpha" and "beta", leading up to the first stable release
- for a given development branch, which always ended in ".0".
- More recently, BIND adopted the "odd-unstable/even-stable"
- release numbering convention. There will be no "alpha" or "beta"
- releases in the 9.15 branch, only increasing version numbers.
- So, for example, what would previously have been called 9.15.0a1,
- 9.15.0a2, 9.15.0b1, and so on, will instead be called 9.15.0,
- 9.15.1, 9.15.2, etc.
-
-
- The first stable release from this development branch will be
- renamed as 9.16.0. Thereafter, maintenance releases will continue
- on the 9.16 branch, while unstable feature development proceeds in
- 9.17.
