When a catalog zone is updated using AXFR, the zone database is changed,
so it is required to unregister the update notification callback from
the old database, and register it for the new one.
Currently, here is the order of the steps happening in such scenario:
1. The zone.c:zone_startload() function registers the notify callback
on the new database using dns_zone_catz_enable_db()
2. The callback, when called, notices that the new 'db' is different
than 'catz->db', and unregisters the old callback for 'catz->db',
marks that it's unregistered by setting 'catz->db_registered' to
false, then it schedules an update if it isn't already scheduled.
3. The offloaded update process, after completing its job, notices that
'catz->db_registered' is false, and (re)registers the update callback
for the current database it is working on. There is no harm here even
if it was registered also on step 1, and we can't skip it, because
this function can also be called "artificially" during a
reconfiguration, and in that case the registration step is required
here.
A problem arises when before step 1 an update process was already
in a running state, operating on the old database, and finishing its
work only after step 2. As described in step 3, dns__catz_update_cb()
notices that 'catz->db_registered' is false and registers the callback
on the current database it is working on, which, at that state, is
already obsolete and unused by the zone. When it detaches the database,
the function which is responsible for its cleanup (e.g. free_rbtdb())
asserts because there is a registered update notify callback there.
To fix the problem, instead of delaying the (re)registration to step 3,
make sure that the new callback is registered and 'catz->db_registered'
is accordingly marked on step 2.
The purpose of the check is to verify the server has survived the
previous barrage of queries. This is done by sending a query and
checking we get a NOERROR response back.
Previously, that query could've been affected by a servfail cache - the
server would return a SERVFAIL answer, thus failing the check, despite
being up and running. Use version.bind txt ch query to avoid the
interference of servfail cache.
When cache memory usage is over the configured cache size (overmem) and
we are cleaning unused entries, it might not be enough to clean just two
entries if the entries to be expired are smaller than the newly added
rdata. This could be abused by an attacker to cause a remote Denial of
Service by possibly running out of the operating system memory.
Currently, the addrdataset() tries to do a single TTL-based cleaning
considering the serve-stale TTL and then optionally moves to overmem
cleaning if we are in that condition. Then the overmem_purge() tries to
do another single TTL based cleaning from the TTL heap and then continue
with LRU-based cleaning up to 2 entries cleaned.
Squash the TTL-cleaning mechanism into single call from addrdataset(),
but ignore the serve-stale TTL if we are currently overmem.
Then instead of having a fixed number of entries to clean, pass the size
of newly added rdatasetheader to the overmem_purge() function and
cleanup at least the size of the newly added data. This prevents the
cache going over the configured memory limit (`max-cache-size`).
Additionally, refactor the overmem_purge() function to reduce for-loop
nesting for readability.
When create_fetch() in the dns_validator unit detects deadlock, it
returns DNS_R_NOVALIDSIG, but it didn't attach to the validator. The
other condition to returning result != ISC_R_SUCCESS would be error from
dns_resolver_createfetch(). The caller (in two places out of three)
would detect the error condition and always detach from the validator.
Move the dns_validator_detach() on dns_resolver_createfetch() error
condition to create_fetch() function and cleanup the extra detaches in
seek_dnskey() and get_dsset().
This commit changes send buffers allocation strategy for stream based
transports. Before that change we would allocate a dynamic buffers
sized at 64Kb even when we do not need that much. That could lead to
high memory usage on server. Now we resize the send buffer to match
the size of the actual data, freeing the memory at the end of the
buffer for being reused later.
