This way only quota size is passed to the interface/listener
management code instead of a quota object. Thus, we can implement
updating the quota object size instead of recreating the object.
This commit extends TLS context cache with TLS client session cache so
that an associated session cache can be stored alongside the TLS
context within the context cache.
This commit adds support for Strict/Mutual TLS into BIND. It does so
by implementing the backing code for 'hostname' and 'ca-file' options
of the 'tls' statement. The commit also updates the documentation
accordingly.
This commit adds support for keeping CA certificates stores associated
with TLS contexts. The intention is to keep one reusable store per a
set of related TLS contexts.
This commit converts the license handling to adhere to the REUSE
specification. It specifically:
1. Adds used licnses to LICENSES/ directory
2. Add "isc" template for adding the copyright boilerplate
3. Changes all source files to include copyright and SPDX license
header, this includes all the C sources, documentation, zone files,
configuration files. There are notes in the doc/dev/copyrights file
on how to add correct headers to the new files.
4. Handle the rest that can't be modified via .reuse/dep5 file. The
binary (or otherwise unmodifiable) files could have license places
next to them in <foo>.license file, but this would lead to cluttered
repository and most of the files handled in the .reuse/dep5 file are
system test files.
Using the TLS context cache for server-side contexts could reduce the
number of contexts to initialise in the configurations when e.g. the
same 'tls' entry is used in multiple 'listen-on' statements for the
same DNS transport, binding to multiple IP addresses.
In such a case, only one TLS context will be created, instead of a
context per IP address, which could reduce the initialisation time, as
initialising even a non-ephemeral TLS context introduces some delay,
which can be *visually* noticeable by log activity.
Also, this change lays down a foundation for Mutual TLS (when the
server validates a client certificate, additionally to a client
validating the server), as the TLS context cache can be extended to
store additional data required for validation (like intermediates CA
chain).
Additionally to the above, the change ensures that the contexts are
not being changed after initialisation, as such a practice is frowned
upon. Previously we would set the supported ALPN tags within
isc_nm_listenhttp() and isc_nm_listentlsdns(). We do not do that for
client-side contexts, so that appears to be an overlook. Now we set
the supported ALPN tags right after server-side contexts creation,
similarly how we do for client-side ones.
This commit adds the ability to enable or disable stateless TLS
session resumption tickets (see RFC5077). Having this ability is
twofold.
Firstly, these tickets are encrypted by the server, and the algorithm
might be weaker than the algorithm negotiated during the TLS session
establishment (it is in general the case for TLSv1.2, but the generic
principle applies to TLSv1.3 as well, despite it having better ciphers
for session tickets). Thus, they might compromise Perfect Forward
Secrecy.
Secondly, disabling it might be necessary if the same TLS key/cert
pair is supposed to be used by multiple servers to achieve, e.g., load
balancing because the session ticket by default gets generated in
runtime, while to achieve successful session resumption ability, in
this case, would have required using a shared key.
The proper alternative to having the ability to disable stateless TLS
session resumption tickets is to implement a proper session tickets
key rollover mechanism so that key rotation might be performed
often (e.g. once an hour) to not compromise forward secrecy while
retaining the associated performance benefits. That is much more work,
though. On the other hand, having the ability to disable session
tickets allows having a deployable configuration right now in the
cases when either forward secrecy is wanted or sharing the TLS
key/cert pair between multiple servers is needed (or both).
This commit adds support for enforcing the preference of server
ciphers over the client ones. This way, the server attains control
over the ciphers priority and, thus, can choose more strong cyphers
when a client prioritises less strong ciphers over the more strong
ones, which is beneficial when trying to achieve Perfect Forward
Secrecy.
This commit adds support for setting TLS cipher list string in the
format specified in the OpenSSL
documentation (https://www.openssl.org/docs/man1.1.1/man1/ciphers.html).
The syntax of the cipher list is verified so that specifying the wrong
string will prevent the configuration from being loaded.
This commit adds support for loading DH-parameters (Diffie-Hellman
parameters) via the new "dhparam-file" option within "tls" clause. In
particular, Diffie-Hellman parameters are needed to enable the range
of forward-secrecy enabled cyphers for TLSv1.2, which are getting
silently disabled otherwise.
This commit adds the ability to specify allowed TLS protocols versions
within the "tls" clause. If an unsupported TLS protocol version is
specified in a file, the configuration file will not pass
verification.
Also, this commit adds strict checks for "tls" clauses verification,
in particular:
- it ensures that loading configuration files containing duplicated
"tls" clauses is not allowed;
- it ensures that loading configuration files containing "tls" clauses
missing "cert-file" or "key-file" is not allowed;
- it ensures that loading configuration files containing "tls" clauses
named as "ephemeral" or "none" is not allowed.
This commit makes number of concurrent HTTP/2 streams per connection
configurable as a mean to fight DDoS attacks. As soon as the limit is
reached, BIND terminates the whole session.
The commit adds a global configuration
option (http-streams-per-connection) which can be overridden in an
http <name> {...} statement like follows:
http local-http-server {
...
streams-per-connection 100;
...
};
For now the default value is 100, which should be enough (e.g. NGINX
uses 128, but it is a full-featured WEB-server). When using lower
numbers (e.g. ~70), it is possible to hit the limit with
e.g. flamethrower.
This commit adds support for http-listener-clients global options as
well as ability to override the default in an HTTP server description,
like:
http local-http-server {
...
listener-clients 100;
...
};
This way we have ability to specify per-listener active connections
quota globally and then override it when required. This is exactly
what AT&T requested us: they wanted a functionality to specify quota
globally and then override it for specific IPs. This change
functionality makes such a configuration possible.
It makes sense: for example, one could have different quotas for
internal and external clients. Or, for example, one could use BIND's
internal ability to serve encrypted DoH with some sane quota value for
internal clients, while having un-encrypted DoH listener without quota
to put BIND behind a load balancer doing TLS offloading for external
clients.
Moreover, the code no more shares the quota with TCP, which makes
little sense anyway (see tcp-clients option), because of the nature of
interaction of DoH clients: they tend to keep idle opened connections
for longer periods of time, preventing the TCP and TLS client from
being served. Thus, the need to have a separate, generally larger,
quota for them.
Also, the change makes any option within "http <name> { ... };"
statement optional, making it easier to override only required default
options.
By default, the DoH connections are limited to 300 per listener. I
hope that it is a good initial guesstimate.
This commit completes the support for DNS-over-HTTP(S) built on top of
nghttp2 and plugs it into the BIND. Support for both GET and POST
requests is present, as required by RFC8484.
Both encrypted (via TLS) and unencrypted HTTP/2 connections are
supported. The latter are mostly there for debugging/troubleshooting
purposes and for the means of encryption offloading to third-party
software (as might be desirable in some environments to simplify TLS
certificates management).
* Following the example set in 634bdfb16d8, the tlsdns netmgr
module now uses libuv and SSL primitives directly, rather than
opening a TLS socket which opens a TCP socket, as the previous
model was difficult to debug. Closes#2335.
* Remove the netmgr tls layer (we will have to re-add it for DoH)
* Add isc_tls API to wrap the OpenSSL SSL_CTX object into libisc
library; move the OpenSSL initialization/deinitialization from dstapi
needed for OpenSSL 1.0.x to the isc_tls_{initialize,destroy}()
* Add couple of new shims needed for OpenSSL 1.0.x
* When LibreSSL is used, require at least version 2.7.0 that
has the best OpenSSL 1.1.x compatibility and auto init/deinit
* Enforce OpenSSL 1.1.x usage on Windows
* Added a TLSDNS unit test and implemented a simple TLSDNS echo
server and client.
Parse the configuration of tls objects into SSL_CTX* objects. Listen on
DoT if 'tls' option is setup in listen-on directive. Use DoT/DoH ports
for DoT/DoH.
Also disable the semantic patch as the code needs tweaks here and there because
some destroy functions might not destroy the object and return early if the
object is still in use.
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.
