Extract the parts of query_getcachedb() responsible for checking whether
the client is allowed to access the cache to a separate function, so
that it can be reused for determining mirror zone access.
If transferring or loading a mirror zone fails, resolution should still
succeed by means of falling back to regular recursive queries.
Currently, though, if a slave zone is present in the zone table and not
loaded, a SERVFAIL response is generated. Thus, mirror zones need
special handling in this regard.
Add a new dns_zt_find() flag, DNS_ZTFIND_MIRROR, and set it every time a
domain name is looked up rather than a zone itself. Handle that flag in
dns_zt_find() in such a way that a mirror zone which is expired or not
yet loaded is ignored when looking up domain names, but still possible
to find when the caller wants to know whether the zone is configured.
This causes a fallback to recursion when mirror zone data is unavailable
without making unloaded mirror zones invisible to code checking a zone's
existence.
Section 4 of RFC 7706 suggests that responses sourced from a local copy
of a zone should not have the AA bit set. Follow that recommendation by
setting 'qctx->authoritative' to ISC_FALSE when a response to a query is
coming from a mirror zone.
When a resolver is a regular slave (i.e. not a mirror) for some zone,
non-recursive queries for names below that slaved zone will return a
delegation sourced from it. This behavior is suboptimal for mirror
zones as their contents should rather be treated as validated, cached
DNS responses. Modify query_delegation() and query_zone_delegation() to
permit clients allowed cache access to check its contents for a better
answer when responding to non-recursive queries.
Interrupt query processing when query_recurse() attempts to ask the same
name servers for the same QNAME/QTYPE tuple for two times in a row as
this indicates that query processing may be stuck for an indeterminate
period of time, e.g. due to interactions between features able to
restart query_lookup().
Replace dns_fixedname_init() calls followed by dns_fixedname_name()
calls with calls to dns_fixedname_initname() where it is possible
without affecting current behavior and/or performance.
This patch was mostly prepared using Coccinelle and the following
semantic patch:
@@
expression fixedname, name;
@@
- dns_fixedname_init(&fixedname);
...
- name = dns_fixedname_name(&fixedname);
+ name = dns_fixedname_initname(&fixedname);
The resulting set of changes was then manually reviewed to exclude false
positives and apply minor tweaks.
It is likely that more occurrences of this pattern can be refactored in
an identical way. This commit only takes care of the low-hanging fruit.
CNAME between to served zones when recursion was
desired and available (RD=1, RA=1). Don't return
the CNAME target otherwise to prevent accidental
cache poisoning. [RT #47078]
4724. [func] By default, BIND now uses the random number
functions provided by the crypto library (i.e.,
OpenSSL or a PKCS#11 provider) as a source of
randomness rather than /dev/random. This is
suitable for virtual machine environments
which have limited entropy pools and lack
hardware random number generators.
This can be overridden by specifying another
entropy source via the "random-device" option
in named.conf, or via the -r command line option;
however, for functions requiring full cryptographic
strength, such as DNSSEC key generation, this
cannot be overridden. In particular, the -r
command line option no longer has any effect on
dnssec-keygen.
This can be disabled by building with
"configure --disable-crypto-rand".

Stage 2 - synthesis of records from wildcard data.
If the dns64 or filter-aaaa* is configured then the
involved lookups are currently excluded. [RT #40138]
4713. [func] Added support for the DNS Response Policy Service
(DNSRPS) API, which allows named to use an external
response policy daemon when built with
"configure --enable-dnsrps". Thanks to Vernon
Schryver and Farsight Security. [RT #43376]
4708. [cleanup] Legacy Windows builds (i.e. for XP and earlier)
are no longer supported. [RT #45186]
4707. [func] The lightweight resolver daemon and library (lwresd
and liblwres) have been removed. [RT #45186]
4706. [func] Code implementing name server query processing has
been moved from bin/named to a new library "libns".
Functions remaining in bin/named are now prefixed
with "named_" rather than "ns_". This will make it
easier to write unit tests for name server code, or
link name server functionality into new tools.
