View matching on an incoming query checks the query's signature,
which can be a CPU-heavy task for a SIG(0)-signed message. Implement
an asynchronous mode of the view matching function which uses the
offloaded signature checking facilities, and use it for the incoming
queries.
This is a tiny helper function which is used only once and can be
replaced with two function calls instead. Removing this makes
supporting asynchronous signature checking less complicated.
In order to protect from a malicious DNS client that sends many
queries with a SIG(0)-signed message, add a quota of simultaneously
running SIG(0) checks.
This protection can only help when named is using more than one worker
threads. For example, if named is running with the '-n 4' option, and
'sig0checks-quota 2;' is used, then named will make sure to not use
more than 2 workers for the SIG(0) signature checks in parallel, thus
leaving the other workers to serve the remaining clients which do not
use SIG(0)-signed messages.
That limitation is going to change when SIG(0) signature checks are
offloaded to "slow" threads in a future commit.
The 'sig0checks-quota-exempt' ACL option can be used to exempt certain
clients from the quota requirements using their IP or network addresses.
The 'sig0checks-quota-maxwait-ms' option is used to define a maximum
amount of time for named to wait for a quota to appear. If during that
time no new quota becomes available, named will answer to the client
with DNS_R_REFUSED.
Previously, the number of RR types for a single owner name was limited
only by the maximum number of the types (64k). As the data structure
that holds the RR types for the database node is just a linked list, and
there are places where we just walk through the whole list (again and
again), adding a large number of RR types for a single owner named with
would slow down processing of such name (database node).
Add a configurable limit to cap the number of the RR types for a single
owner. This is enforced at the database (rbtdb, qpzone, qpcache) level
and configured with new max-types-per-name configuration option that
can be configured globally, per-view and per-zone.
Previously, the number of RRs in the RRSets were internally unlimited.
As the data structure that holds the RRs is just a linked list, and
there are places where we just walk through all of the RRs, adding an
RRSet with huge number of RRs inside would slow down processing of said
RRSets.
Add a configurable limit to cap the number of the RRs in a single RRSet.
This is enforced at the database (rbtdb, qpzone, qpcache) level and
configured with new max-records-per-type configuration option that can
be configured globally, per-view and per-zone.
The high-water allows administrators to better tune the recursive
clients limit without having to to poll the statistics channel in high
rates to get this number.
the previous commit introduced a possible race in getsigningtime()
where the rdataset header could change between being found on the
heap and being bound.
getsigningtime() now looks at the first element of the heap, gathers the
locknum, locks the respective lock, and retrieves the header from the
heap again. If the locknum has changed, it will rinse and repeat.
Theoretically, this could spin forever, but practically, it almost never
will as the heap changes on the zone are very rare.
we simplify matters further by changing the dns_db_getsigningtime()
API call. instead of passing back a bound rdataset, we pass back the
information the caller actually needed: the resigning time, owner name
and type of the rdataset that was first on the heap.
if we had a method to get the running loop, similar to how
isc_tid() gets the current thread ID, we can simplify loop
and loopmgr initialization.
remove most uses of isc_loop_current() in favor of isc_loop().
in some places where that was the only reason to pass loopmgr,
remove loopmgr from the function parameters.
by default, QPDB is the database used by named and all tools and
unit tests. the old default of RBTDB can now be restored by using
"configure --with-zonedb=rbt --with-cachedb=rbt".
some tests have been fixed so they will work correctly with either
database.
CHANGES and release notes have been updated to reflect this change.
replace the string "rbt" throughout BIND with "qp" so that
qpdb databases will be used by default instead of rbtdb.
rbtdb databases can still be used by specifying "database rbt;"
in a zone statement.
With _exit() instead of exit() in place, we don't need
isc__tls_setfatalmode() mechanism as the atexit() calls will not be
executed including OpenSSL atexit hooks.
Since the fatal() isn't a correct but rather abrupt termination of the
program, we want to skip the various atexit() calls because not all
memory might be freed during fatal() call, etc. Using _exit() instead
of exit() has this effect - the program will end, but no destructors or
atexit routines will be called.
Expose the newly added 'first refresh' flag in the information
provided by the 'rndc staus' command, by showing the number of
zones, which are not yet fully ready, and their first refresh
is pending or is in-progress.
Instead of running all the cryptographic validation in a tight loop,
spread it out into multiple event loop "ticks", but moving every single
validation into own isc_async_run() asynchronous event. Move the
cryptographic operations - both verification and DNSKEY selection - to
the offloaded threads (isc_work_enqueue), this further limits the time
we spend doing expensive operations on the event loops that should be
fast.
Limit the impact of invalid or malicious RRSets that contain crafted
records causing the dns_validator to do many validations per single
fetch by adding a cap on the maximum number of validations and maximum
number of validation failures that can happen before the resolving
fails.
This is now the default way to implement attaching to/detaching from
a pointer.
Also update cfg_keystore_fromconfig() to allow NULL value for the
keystore pointer. In most cases we detach it immediately after the
function call.
Move dns_dnssec_findzonekeys from the dnssec.{c,h} source code to
zone.{c,h} (the header file already commented that this should be done
inside dns_zone_t).
Alter the function in such a way, that keys are searched for in the
key stores if a 'dnssec-policy' (kasp) is attached to the zone,
otherwise keep using the zone's key-directory.
When writing key files to disk, use the internally stored directory.
Add an access function 'dst_key_directory()'.
Most calls to keymgr functions no longer need to provide the
key-directory value. Only 'dns_keymgr_run' still needs access to
the zone's key-directory in case the key-store is set to the built-in
key-directory.
Refactor dns_dnssec_findmatchingkeys and dns_dnssec_keylistfromrdataset
to take into account the key store directories in case the zone is using
dnssec-policy (kasp). Add 'kasp' and 'keystores' parameters.
This requires the keystorelist to be stored inside the zone structure.
The calls to these functions in the DNSSEC tools can use NULL as the
kasp value, as dnssec-signzone does not (yet) support dnssec-policy,
and key collision is checked inside the directory where it is created.
When creating the kasp structure, instead of storing the name of the
key store on keys, store a reference to the key store object instead.
This requires to build the keystore list prior to creating the kasp
structures, in the dnssec tools, the check code and the server code.
We will create a builtin keystore called "key-directory" which means
use the zone's key-directory as the key store.
The check code changes, because now the keystore is looked up before
creating the kasp structure (and if the keystore is not found, this
is an error). Instead of looking up the keystore after all
'dnssec-policy' clauses have been read.
Multiple zones should be able to read the same key and signing policy
at the same time. Since writing the kasp lock only happens during
reconfiguration, and the complete kasp list is being replaced, there
is actually no need for a lock. Reference counting ensures that a kasp
structure is not destroyed when still being attached to one or more
zones.
This significantly improves the load configuration time.
The main intention of PROXY protocol is to pass endpoints information
to a back-end server (in our case - BIND). That means that it is a
valid way to spoof endpoints information, as the addresses and ports
extracted from PROXYv2 headers, from the point of view of BIND, are
used instead of the real connection addresses.
Of course, an ability to easily spoof endpoints information can be
considered a security issue when used uncontrollably. To resolve that,
we introduce 'allow-proxy' and 'allow-proxy-on' ACL options. These are
the only ACL options in BIND that work with real PROXY connections
addresses, allowing a DNS server operator to specify from what clients
and on which interfaces he or she is willing to accept PROXY
headers. By default, for security reasons we do not allow to accept
them.
This commit extends "listen-on" statement with "proxy" options that
allows one to enable PROXYv2 support on a dedicated listener. It can
have the following values:
- "plain" to send PROXYv2 headers without encryption, even in the case
of encrypted transports.
- "encrypted" to send PROXYv2 headers encrypted right after the TLS
handshake.
The AES algorithm for DNS cookies was being kept for legacy reasons, and
it can be safely removed in the next major release. Remove both the AES
usage for DNS cookies and the AES implementation itself.
The lock-file configuration (both from configuration file and -X
argument to named) has better alternatives nowadays. Modern process
supervisor should be used to ensure that a single named process is
running on a given configuration.
Alternatively, it's possible to wrap the named with flock(1).
This is first step in removing the lock-file configuration option, it
marks both the `lock-file` configuration directive and -X option to
named as deprecated.
When -X is used the 'lock-file' option change detection condition
is invalid, because it compares the 'lock-file' option's value to
the '-X' argument's value instead of the older 'lock-file' option
value (which was ignored because of '-X').
Don't warn about changing 'lock-file' option if '-X' is used.
It is obvious that the '!cfg_obj_asstring(obj)' check should be
'cfg_obj_asstring(obj)' instead, because it is an AND logic chain
which further uses 'obj' as a string.
Fix the error.
When 'lock-file <lockfile>' is used in configuration at the same time
as using '-X none' in 'named' invocation, there is an invalid
logic that would lead to a isc_mem_strdup() call on a NULL value.
Also, contradicting to ARM, 'lock-file none' is overriding the '-X'
argument.
Fix the overall logic, and make sure that the '-X' takes precedence to
'lock-file'.
When 'lock-file <lockfile1>' was used in configuration at the same time
as using `-X <lockfile2>` in `named` invocation, there was an invalid
logic that would lead to a double isc_mem_strdup() call on the
<lockfile2> value.
Skip the second allocation if `lock-file` is being used in
configuration, so the <lockfile2> is used only single time.
When using sd_notify(3) to send a message to the service manager
about named being reloaded, systemd also requires the MONOTONIC_USEC
field to be set to the current monotonic time in microseconds,
otherwise the 'systemctl reload' command fails.
Add the MONOTONIC_USEC field to the message.
See 'man 5 systemd.service' for more information.
now that we have the QP chain mechanism, we can convert the
RPZ summary database to use a QP trie instead of an RBT.
also revised comments throughout the file accordingly, and
incidentally cleaned up calls to new_node(), which can no
longer fail.
Reusing TCP connections with dns_dispatch_gettcp() used linear linked
list to lookup existing outgoing TCP connections that could be reused.
Replace the linked list with per-loop cds_lfht hashtable to speedup the
lookups. We use cds_lfht because it allows non-unique node insertion
that we need to check for dispatches in different connection states.
Instead of high number of dispatches (4 * named_g_udpdisp)[1], make the
dispatches bound to threads and make dns_dispatchset_t create a dispatch
for each thread (event loop).
This required couple of other changes:
1. The dns_dispatch_createudp() must be called on loop, so the isc_tid()
is already initialized - changes to nsupdate and mdig were required.
2. The dns_requestmgr had only a single dispatch per v4 and v6. Instead
of using single dispatch, use dns_dispatchset_t for each protocol -
this is same as dns_resolver.
