these options concentrate zone maintenance actions into
bursts for the benefit of servers with intermittent connections.
that's no longer something we really need to optimize.
When using automated DNSSEC management, it is required that the zone
is dynamic, or that inline-signing is enabled (or both). Update the
checkconf code to also allow inline-signing to be enabled within
dnssec-policy.
Add an option to enable/disable inline-signing inside the
dnssec-policy clause. The existing inline-signing option that is
set in the zone clause takes priority, but if it is omitted, then the
value that is set in dnssec-policy is taken.
The built-in policies use inline-signing.
This means that if you want to use the default policy without
inline-signing you either have to set it explicitly in the zone
clause:
zone "example" {
...
dnssec-policy default;
inline-signing no;
};
Or create a new policy, only overriding the inline-signing option:
dnssec-policy "default-dynamic" {
inline-signing no;
};
zone "example" {
...
dnssec-policy default-dynamic;
};
This also means that if you are going insecure with a dynamic zone,
the built-in "insecure" policy needs to be accompanied with
"inline-signing no;".
These two configuration options worked in conjunction with 'auto-dnssec'
to determine KSK usage, and thus are now obsoleted.
However, in the code we keep KSK processing so that when a zone is
reconfigured from using 'dnssec-policy' immediately to 'none' (without
going through 'insecure'), the zone is not immediately made bogus.
Add one more test case for going straight to none, now with a dynamic
zone (no inline-signing).
Add a new configuration option to set how the checkds method should
work. Acceptable values are 'yes', 'no', and 'explicit'.
When set to 'yes', the checkds method is to lookup the parental agents
by querying the NS records of the parent zone.
When set to 'no', no checkds method is enabled. Users should run
the 'rndc checkds' command to signal that DS records are published and
withdrawn.
When set to 'explicit', the parental agents are explicitly configured
with the 'parental-agents' configuration option.
There are times where you want named-checkconf to check whether the
dnssec-policies should be constrained by the cryptographic algorithms
supported by the operation system or to just accept all possible
algorithms. This provides a mechanism to make that selection.
- RSASHA1 (5) and NSEC3RSASHA1 (7) are not accepted in FIPS mode
- minimum RSA key size is set to 2048 bit
adjust kasp and checkconf system tests to ensure non FIPS
compliant configurations are not used in FIPS mode
for testing purposes, we need to be able to specify a library path from
which to load the dnsrps implementation. this can now be done with the
"dnsrps-library" option.
DNSRPS can now be enabled in configure regardless of whether librpz.so
is currently installed on the system.
These options and zone type were created to address the
SiteFinder controversy, in which certain TLD's redirected queries
rather than returning NXDOMAIN. since TLD's are now DNSSEC-signed,
this is no longer likely to be a problem.
The deprecation message for 'type delegation-only' is issued from
the configuration checker rather than the parser. therefore,
isccfg_check_namedconf() has been modified to take a 'nodeprecate'
parameter to suppress the warning when named-checkconf is used with
the command-line option to ignore warnings on deprecated options (-i).
Completely remove the TKEY Mode 2 (Diffie-Hellman Exchanged Keying) from
BIND 9 (from named, named.conf and all the tools). The TKEY usage is
fringe at best and in all known cases, GSSAPI is being used as it should.
The draft-eastlake-dnsop-rfc2930bis-tkey specifies that:
4.2 Diffie-Hellman Exchanged Keying (Deprecated)
The use of this mode (#2) is NOT RECOMMENDED for the following two
reasons but the specification is still included in Appendix A in case
an implementation is needed for compatibility with old TKEY
implementations. See Section 4.6 on ECDH Exchanged Keying.
The mixing function used does not meet current cryptographic
standards because it uses MD5 [RFC6151].
RSA keys must be excessively long to achieve levels of security
required by current standards.
We might optionally implement Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) key
exchange mode 6 if the draft ever reaches the RFC status. Meanwhile the
insecure DH mode needs to be removed.
the parser could crash when "include" specified an empty string in place
of the filename. this has been fixed by returning ISC_R_FILENOTFOUND
when the string length is 0.
- removed documentation of -S option from named man page
- removed documentation of reserved-sockets from ARM
- simplified documentation of dnssec-secure-to-insecure - it
now just says it's obsolete rather than describing what it
doesn't do anymore
- marked three formerly obsolete options as ancient:
parent-registration-delay, reserved-sockets, and
suppress-initial-notify
the built-in trust anchors in named and delv are sufficent for
validation. named still needs to be able to load trust anchors from
a bind.keys file for testing purposes, but it doesn't need to be
the default behavior.
we now only load trust anchors from a file if explicitly specified
via the "bindkeys-file" option in named or the "-a" command line
argument to delv. documentation has been cleaned up to remove references
to /etc/bind.keys.
Closes#3850.
A 'tls' statement can be specified both for individual addresses
and for the whole list (as a default value when an individual
address doesn't have its own 'tls' set), just as it was done
before for the 'port' value.
Create a new function 'print_rawqstring()' to print a string residing
in a 'isc_textregion_t' type parameter.
Create a new function 'copy_string()' to copy a string from a
'cfg_obj_t' object into a 'isc_textregion_t'.
Deprecate the use of "port" when configuring query-source(-v6),
transfer-source(-v6), notify-source(-v6), parental-source(-v6),
etc. Also deprecate use-{v4,v6}-udp-ports and avoid-{v4,v6}udp-ports.
DSCP has not been fully working since the network manager was
introduced in 9.16, and has been completely broken since 9.18.
This seems to have caused very few difficulties for anyone,
so we have now marked it as obsolete and removed the
implementation.
To ensure that old config files don't fail, the code to parse
dscp key-value pairs is still present, but a warning is logged
that the feature is obsolete and should not be used. Nothing is
done with configured values, and there is no longer any
range checking.
Remove parsing the configuration options 'alt-transfer-source',
'alt-transfer-source-v6', and 'use-alt-transfer-source', and remove
the corresponding code that implements the feature.
Add a new way to configure the preferred source address when talking to
remote servers such as primaries and parental-agents. This will
eventually deprecate options such as 'parental-source',
'parental-source-v6', 'transfer-source', etc.
Example of the new configuration:
parental-agents "parents" port 5353 \
source 10.10.10.10 port 5354 dscp 54 \
source-v6 2001:db8::10 port 5355 dscp 55 {
10.10.10.11;
2001:db8::11;
};
The only function left in the isc_resource API was setting the file
limit. Replace the whole unit with a simple getrlimit to check the
maximum value of RLIMIT_NOFILE and set the maximum back to rlimit_cur.
This is more compatible than trying to set RLIMIT_UNLIMITED on the
RLIMIT_NOFILE as it doesn't work on Linux (see man 5 proc on
/proc/sys/fs/nr_open), neither it does on Darwin kernel (see man 2
getrlimit).
The only place where the maximum value could be raised under privileged
user would be BSDs, but the `named_os_adjustnofile()` were not called
there before. We would apply the increased limits only on Linux and Sun
platforms.
After deprecating the operating system limits settings (coresize,
datasize, files and stacksize), mark them as ancient and remove the code
that sets the values from config.
It was possible to set operating system limits (RLIMIT_DATA,
RLIMIT_STACK, RLIMIT_CORE and RLIMIT_NOFILE) from named.conf. It's
better to leave these untouched as setting these is responsibility of
the operating system and/or supervisor.
Deprecate the configuration options and remove them in future BIND 9
release.
The isccfg_duration_fromtext() function is truncating large numbers
to 32 bits instead of capping or rejecting them, i.e. 64424509445,
which is 0xf00000005, gets parsed as 32-bit value 5 (0x00000005).
Fail parsing a duration if any of its components is bigger than
32 bits. Using those kind of big numbers has no practical use case
for a duration.
The isccfg_duration_toseconds() function can overflow the 32 bit
seconds variable when calculating the duration from its component
parts.
To avoid that, use 64-bit calculation and return UINT32_MAX if the
calculated value is bigger than UINT32_MAX. Again, a number this big
has no practical use case anyway.
The buffer for the generated duration string is limited to 64 bytes,
which, in theory, is smaller than the longest possible generated
duration string.
Use 80 bytes instead, calculated by the '7 x (10 + 1) + 3' formula,
where '7' is the count of the duration's parts (year, month, etc.), '10'
is their maximum length when printed as a decimal number, '1' is their
indicator character (Y, M, etc.), and 3 is two more indicators (P and T)
and the terminating NUL character.
