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.
as there is no further use of isc_task in BIND, this commit removes
it, along with isc_taskmgr, isc_event, and all other related types.
functions that accepted taskmgr as a parameter have been cleaned up.
as a result of this change, some functions can no longer fail, so
they've been changed to type void, and their callers have been
updated accordingly.
the tasks table has been removed from the statistics channel and
the stats version has been updated. dns_dyndbctx has been changed
to reference the loopmgr instead of taskmgr, and DNS_DYNDB_VERSION
has been udpated as well.
- 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.
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.
limit the number of simultaneous DNS UPDATE events that can be
processed by adding a quota for update and update forwarding.
this quota currently, arbitrarily, defaults to 100.
also add a statistics counter to record when the update quota
has been exceeded.
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.
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.
For the prefetch "trigger" parameter ARM states that when a cache
record with a lower TTL value is encountered during query processing,
it is refreshed. But in reality, the record is refreshed when the TTL
value is lower or equal to the configured "trigger" value.
Fix the documentation to make it match with with the code.
This is hopefully end of duplication. This batch did not cause clashes
in Sphinx but it was pointless nonetheless as we have auto-generated
anchors for all statements.
Some statement names like "allow-query" had manually defined link anchor
_allow-query and also implicit anchor created by
.. namedconf:statement:: syntax. This causes warnings if a ambiguous
reference is made using :any:`allow-query` syntax.
Remove (hopefully all) manually defined anchors which pointed to
identical place as the implicit anchor. This allows :any: to work.
In rare cases where manual anchor points to descriptive text separated
from statement definition the reference was disamguated by replacing
:any:`notify` with :ref:`notify` (for manual anchor)
vs. :namedconf:ref:`notify` (for statement definition).
Please note that `options` statement is a trap: It is ambiguous even
without manual anchor because rndc.conf has its own `options`. Use
:namedconf:ref:`options` vs. :rndcconf:ref:`options` to select
appropriate target.
Make documentation building successful even on RHEL9 sphinx 3.4.3. It
does not like case-insensitive matching of terms, so provide lowercase
text description with Uppercase word reference.
The "max-zone-ttl" option should now be configured as part of
"dnssec-policy". The option with the same name in "zone" and
"options" is hereby flagged as deprecated, and its functionality
will be removed in a future release.
