New Features
~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Implement the min-transfer-rate-in configuration option.
``4a5a9c8256``
A new option 'min-transfer-rate-in <bytes> <minutes>' has been added
to the view and zone configurations. It can abort incoming zone
transfers which run very slowly due to network related issues, for
example. The default value is set to 10240 bytes in 5 minutes.
:gl:`#3914` :gl:`!10137`
- Add digest methods for SIG and RRSIG. ``6d8c513986``
ZONEMD digests RRSIG records and potentially digests SIG record. Add
digests methods for both record types. :gl:`#5219` :gl:`!10218`
- Add HTTPS record query to host command line tool. ``2ddfb57b45``
The host command was extended to also query for the HTTPS RR type by
default. :gl:`!10123`
Bug Fixes
~~~~~~~~~
- Prevent a reference leak when using plugins. ``0201e3eacb``
The `NS_QUERY_DONE_BEGIN` and `NS_QUERY_DONE_SEND` plugin hooks could
cause a reference leak if they returned `NS_HOOK_RETURN` without
cleaning up the query context properly. :gl:`#2094` :gl:`!10170`
- Fix isc_quota bug. ``dbc635c148``
Running jobs which were entered into the isc_quota queue is the
responsibility of the isc_quota_release() function, which, when
releasing a previously acquired quota, checks whether the queue is
empty, and if it's not, it runs a job from the queue without touching
the 'quota->used' counter. This mechanism is susceptible to a possible
hangup of a newly queued job in case when between the time a decision
has been made to queue it (because used >= max) and the time it was
actually queued, the last quota was released. Since there is no more
quotas to be released (unless arriving in the future), the newly
entered job will be stuck in the queue.
Fix the issue by adding checks in both isc_quota_release() and
isc_quota_acquire_cb() to make sure that the described hangup does not
happen. Also see code comments. :gl:`#4965` :gl:`!10139`
- Fix dual-stack-servers configuration option. ``a47dab2c5e``
The dual-stack-servers configuration option was not working as
expected; the specified servers were not being used when they should
have been, leading to resolution failures. This has been fixed.
:gl:`#5019` :gl:`!10174`
- Implement sig0key-checks-limit and sig0message-checks-limit.
``95af81b674``
Previously a hard-coded limitation of maximum two key or message
verification checks were introduced when checking the message's SIG(0)
signature. It was done in order to protect against possible DoS
attacks. The logic behind choosing the number 2 was that more than a
single key should only be required during key rotations, and in that
case two keys are enough. But later it became apparent that there are
other use cases too where even more keys are required, see issue
number #5050 in GitLab.
This change introduces two new configuration options for the views,
`sig0key-checks-limit` and `sig0message-checks-limit`, which define
how many keys are allowed to be checked to find a matching key, and
how many message verifications are allowed to take place once a
matching key has been found. The latter protects against expensive
cryptographic operations when there are keys with colliding tags and
algorithm numbers, with default being 2, and the former protects
against a bit less expensive key parsing operations and defaults to
16. :gl:`#5050` :gl:`!10141`
- Fix the data race causing a permanent active client increase.
``20cf51dfc5``
Previously, a data race could cause a newly created fetch context for
a new client to be used before it had been fully initialized, which
would cause the query to become stuck; queries for the same data would
be either paused indefinitely or dropped because of the
`clients-per-query` limit. This has been fixed. :gl:`#5053`
:gl:`!10147`
- Fix deferred validation of unsigned DS and DNSKEY records.
``ba5fe2dd12``
When processing a query with the "checking disabled" bit set (CD=1),
`named` stores the unvalidated result in the cache, marked "pending".
When the same query is sent with CD=0, the cached data is validated,
and either accepted as an answer, or ejected from the cache as
invalid. This deferred validation was not attempted for DS and DNSKEY
records if they had no cached signatures, causing spurious validation
failures. We now complete the deferred validation in this scenario.
Also, if deferred validation fails, we now re-query the data to find
out whether the zone has been corrected since the invalid data was
cached. :gl:`#5066` :gl:`!10105`
- When recording an rr trace, use libtool. ``17ca2fbbdc``
When a system test is run with the `USE_RR` environment variable set
to 1, an `rr` trace is now correctly generated for each instance of
`named`. :gl:`#5079` :gl:`!10207`
- Do not cache signatures for rejected data. ``9b3e1facf6``
The cache has been updated so that if new data is rejected - for
example, because there was already existing data at a higher trust
level - then its covering RRSIG will also be rejected. :gl:`#5132`
:gl:`!10134`
- Fix RPZ race condition during a reconfiguration. ``eca9a3279e``
With RPZ in use, `named` could terminate unexpectedly because of a
race condition when a reconfiguration command was received using
`rndc`. This has been fixed. :gl:`#5146` :gl:`!10144`
- "CNAME and other data check" not applied to all types. ``a68f5dd74b``
An incorrect optimization caused "CNAME and other data" errors not to
be detected if certain types were at the same node as a CNAME. This
has been fixed. :gl:`#5150` :gl:`!10100`
- Relax private DNSKEY and RRSIG constraints. ``455080866c``
DNSKEY, KEY, RRSIG and SIG constraints have been relaxed to allow
empty key and signature material after the algorithm identifier for
PRIVATEOID and PRIVATEDNS. It is arguable whether this falls within
the expected use of these types as no key material is shared and the
signatures are ineffective but these are private algorithms and they
can be totally insecure. :gl:`#5167` :gl:`!10173`
- Delete dead nodes when committing a new version. ``0682684028``
In the qpzone implementation of `dns_db_closeversion()`, if there are
changed nodes that have no remaining data, delete them. :gl:`#5169`
:gl:`!10124`
- Revert "Delete dead nodes when committing a new version"
``d2ec6d1db4``
This reverts commit 67255da4b376f65138b299dcd5eb6a3b7f9735a9,
reversing changes made to 74c9ff384e695d1b27fa365d1fee84576f869d4c.
:gl:`#5169` :gl:`!10226`
- Fix dns_qp_insert() checks in qpzone. ``11cc40ebf6``
Remove code in the QP zone database to handle failures of
`dns_qp_insert()` which can't actually happen. :gl:`#5171`
:gl:`!10114`
- Remove NSEC/DS/NSEC3 RRSIG check from dns_message_parse.
``b752db0c3f``
Previously, when parsing responses, named incorrectly rejected
responses without matching RRSIG records for NSEC/DS/NSEC3 records in
the authority section. This rejection, if appropriate, should have
been left for the validator to determine and has been fixed.
:gl:`#5185` :gl:`!10142`
- Fix TTL issue with ANY queries processed through RPZ "passthru"
``b1bf17096a``
Answers to an "ANY" query which were processed by the RPZ "passthru"
policy had the response-policy's `max-policy-ttl` value unexpectedly
applied. This has been fixed. :gl:`#5187` :gl:`!10180`
- Dnssec-signzone needs to check for a NULL key when setting offline.
``2d4b4fe15e``
dnssec-signzone could dereference a NULL key pointer when resigning a
zone. This has been fixed. :gl:`#5192` :gl:`!10169`
- Acquire the database reference before possibly last node release.
``2b5b4e9dd1``
Acquire the database reference in the detachnode() to prevent the last
reference to be release while the NODE_LOCK being locked. The
NODE_LOCK is locked/unlocked inside the RCU critical section, thus it
is most probably this should not pose a problem as the database uses
call_rcu memory reclamation, but this it is still safer to acquire the
reference before releasing the node. :gl:`#5194` :gl:`!10156`
- Fix a logic error in cache_name() ``b8bd65763c``
A change in 6aba56ae8 (checking whether a rejected RRset was identical
to the data it would have replaced, so that we could still cache a
signature) inadvertently introduced cases where processing of a
response would continue when previously it would have been skipped.
:gl:`#5197` :gl:`!10158`
- Fix a bug in the statistics channel when querying zone transfers
information. ``b50d9b601d``
When querying zone transfers information from the statistics channel
there was a rare possibility that `named` could terminate unexpectedly
if a zone transfer was in a state when transferring from all the
available primary servers had failed earlier. This has been fixed.
:gl:`#5198` :gl:`!10194`
- Fix assertion failure when dumping recursing clients. ``5d913c3383``
Previously, if a new counter was added to the hashtable while dumping
recursing clients via the `rndc recursing` command, and
`fetches-per-zone` was enabled, an assertion failure could occur. This
has been fixed. :gl:`#5200` :gl:`!10168`
- Call isc__iterated_hash_initialize in isc__work_cb. ``693a1d41ed``
isc_iterated_hash didn't work in offloaded threads as the per thread
initialisation has not been done. This has been fixed. :gl:`#5214`
:gl:`!10210`
- Fix a bug in get_request_transport_type() ``aa3c6584c6``
When `dns_remote_done()` is true, calling `dns_remote_curraddr()`
asserts. Add a `dns_remote_curraddr()` check before calling
`dns_remote_curraddr()`. :gl:`#5215` :gl:`!10223`
- Dump the active resolver fetches from dns_resolver_dumpfetches()
``b2033b7e4c``
Previously, active resolver fetches were only dumped when the
`fetches-per-zone` configuration option was enabled. Now, active
resolver fetches are dumped along with the number of
`clients-per-server` counters per resolver fetch. :gl:`!10148`
- Fix wrong logging severity in do_nsfetch() ``fd623c6ecc``
:gl:`!10118`
- Post [CVE-2024-12705] Performance Drop Fixes, Part 2. ``8cc425a5bb``
This merge request addresses several key performance bottlenecks in
the DoH (DNS over HTTPS) implementation by introducing significant
optimizations and improvements.
### Key Improvements
1. **Simplification and Optimisation of `http_do_bio()` Function**:
- The code flow in the `http_do_bio()` function has been significantly
simplified. 2. **Flushing HTTP Write Buffer on Outgoing DNS
Messages**: - The buffer is flushed and a send operation is
performed when there is an outgoing DNS message. 3. **Bumping Active
Streams Processing Limit**: - The total number of active streams
has been increased to 60% of the total streams limit.
These changes collectively enhance the performance and reliability of
the DoH implementation, making it more efficient and robust for
handling high-load scenarios, particularly noticeable in long runs (>=
1h) of `stress:long:rpz:doh+udp:linux:*` tests. It improves perf. for
tests for BIND 9.18, but it likely will have a positive but less
pronounced effect on newer versions as well.
In essence, the merge request fixes three bottlenecks stacked upon
each other.
*It is a logical continuation of the merge requests !10109.* !10109,
unfortunately, did not completely [address the performance drop in
9.18](https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/bind9/-/pipelines/221545)
for longer runs of the stress test. This merge request [addresses
that](https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/bind9/-/pipelines/223661).
**P.S.**
The origin of the fixes is, in fact, the branch in !10193. So this MR
is a ... *forward port* of them. :gl:`!10199`
- Post [CVE-2024-12705] Performance Drop Fixes. ``9d4aa15c1f``
This merge request fixes a [performance
drop](https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/bind9/-/pipelines/216728)
after merging the fixes for #4795, in particular in 9.18.
The MR [fixes the
problem](https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/bind9/-/pipelines/219825)
without affecting performance for the newer versions, in particular
for [the development version](https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/bind
9/-/pipelines/220619). :gl:`!10129`
- Sync the TSAN CC, CFLAGS and LDFLAGS in the respdiff:tsan job.
``ff58e0ed2b``
:gl:`!10212`

Notes for BIND 9.20.7
---------------------
New Features
~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Implement the :any:`min-transfer-rate-in` configuration option.
A new option :any:`min-transfer-rate-in` has been added
to the view and zone configurations. It can abort incoming zone
transfers that run very slowly due to network-related issues, for
example. The default value is 10240 bytes in five minutes.
:gl:`#3914`
- Add HTTPS record query to :iscman:`host` command line tool.
The :iscman:`host` command was extended to also query for the HTTPS RR
type by default.
- Implement :any:`sig0key-checks-limit` and :any:`sig0message-checks-limit`.
Previously, a hard-coded limitation of a maximum of two key or message
verification checks was introduced when checking a message's ``SIG(0)``
signature, to protect against possible DoS
attacks. Two as a maximum was chosen so that more than a
single key should only be required during key rotations, and in that
case two keys are enough. It later became apparent that there are
other use cases where even more keys are required; see the related GitLab issue for examples.
This change introduces two new configuration options for the views:
:any:`sig0key-checks-limit` and :any:`sig0message-checks-limit`. They define
how many keys can be checked to find a matching key, and
how many message verifications are allowed to take place once a
matching key has been found. The former provides
slightly less "expensive" key parsing operations and defaults to
16. The latter protects against expensive
cryptographic operations when there are keys with colliding tags and
algorithm numbers; the default is 2. :gl:`#5050`
Bug Fixes
~~~~~~~~~
- Fix :any:`dual-stack-servers` configuration option.
The :any:`dual-stack-servers` configuration option was not working as
expected; the specified servers were not being used when they should

Previously, a data race could cause a newly created fetch context for
a new client to be used before it had been fully initialized, which
would cause the query to become stuck; queries for the same data would
be either paused indefinitely or dropped because of the
:any:`clients-per-query` limit. This has been fixed. :gl:`#5053`

:iscman:`named` stores the invalidated result in the cache, marked "pending".
When the same query is sent with CD=0, the cached data is validated
and either accepted as an answer, or ejected from the cache as
invalid. This deferred validation was not attempted for DS and DNSKEY
records if they had no cached signatures, causing spurious validation
failures. The deferred validation is now completed in this scenario.
Also, if deferred validation fails, the data is now re-queried to find
out whether the zone has been corrected since the invalid data was
cached. :gl:`#5066`
- Fix RPZ race condition during a reconfiguration.
With RPZ in use, :iscman:`named` could terminate unexpectedly because of a
race condition when a reconfiguration command was received using
:iscman:`rndc`. This has been fixed. :gl:`#5146`
- "CNAME and other data check" not applied to all types.
An incorrect optimization caused "CNAME and other data" errors not to
be detected if certain types were at the same node as a CNAME. This
has been fixed. :gl:`#5150`
- Relax private DNSKEY and RRSIG constraints.
DNSKEY, KEY, RRSIG, and SIG constraints have been relaxed to allow
empty key and signature material after the algorithm identifier for
PRIVATEOID and PRIVATEDNS. It is arguable whether this falls within
the expected use of these types, as no key material is shared and the
signatures are ineffective, but these are private algorithms and they
can be totally insecure. :gl:`#5167`

:gl:`#5198`
- Fix assertion failure when dumping recursing clients.
Previously, if a new counter was added to the hash table while dumping
recursing clients via the :option:`rndc recursing` command, and
:any:`fetches-per-zone` was enabled, an assertion failure could occur. This
has been fixed. :gl:`#5200`
- Dump the active resolver fetches from ``dns_resolver_dumpfetches()``
Previously, active resolver fetches were only dumped when the
:any:`fetches-per-zone` configuration option was enabled. Now, active
resolver fetches are dumped along with the number of
:any:`clients-per-query` counters per resolver fetch.
