Implement the configuration option with its checking and parsing parts.
The option should be later used by BIND to set an extended error
code (EDE) for the queries modified in the result of RPZ processing.
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.
The "glue-cache" option was marked as deprecated by commit
5ae33351f286feb25a965bf3c9e6b122ab495342 (first released in BIND 9.17.6,
back in October 2020), so now obsolete that option, removing all code
and documentation related to it.
Note: this causes the glue cache feature to be permanently enabled, not
disabled.
After some back and forth, it was decidede to match the configuration
option with unbound ("so-reuseport"), PowerDNS ("reuseport") and/or
nginx ("reuseport").
Previously, the option to enable kernel load balancing of the sockets
was always enabled when supported by the operating system (SO_REUSEPORT
on Linux and SO_REUSEPORT_LB on FreeBSD).
It was reported that in scenarios where the networking threads are also
responsible for processing long-running tasks (like RPZ processing, CATZ
processing or large zone transfers), this could lead to intermitten
brownouts for some clients, because the thread assigned by the operating
system might be busy. In such scenarious, the overall performance would
be better served by threads competing over the sockets because the idle
threads can pick up the incoming traffic.
Add new configuration option (`load-balance-sockets`) to allow enabling
or disabling the load balancing of the sockets.
Previously, the unreachable code paths would have to be tagged with:
INSIST(0);
ISC_UNREACHABLE();
There was also older parts of the code that used comment annotation:
/* NOTREACHED */
Unify the handling of unreachable code paths to just use:
UNREACHABLE();
The UNREACHABLE() macro now asserts when reached and also uses
__builtin_unreachable(); when such builtin is available in the compiler.
the "zone" clause can be documented using, for instance,
`cfg_test --zonegrammar primary", which prints only
options that are valid in primary zones. this was not
the method being used when generating the named.conf
man page; instead, "zone" was documented with all possible
options, and no zone types at all.
this commit removes "zone" from the generic documentation
and adds include statements in named.conf.rst so that
correct zone grammars will be included in the man page.
"masters" and "default-masters" are now flagged so they will
not be included in the named.conf man page, despite being
accepted as valid options by the parser for backward
compatibiility.
The keep-response-order option has been introduced when TCP pipelining
has been introduced to BIND 9 as a failsafe for possibly non-compliant
clients.
Declare the keep-response-order obsolete as all DNS clients should
either support out-of-order processing or don't send more DNS queries
until the DNS response for the previous one has been received.
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.
It's unclear if we are going to keep it or not, so let's mark it as
deprecated for a good measure. It's easier to un-deprecate it than the
other way around.
A number of DNS implementation produce NSEC records with bad type
maps that don't contain types that exist at the name leading to
NODATA responses being synthesize instead of the records in the
zone. NSEC records with these bad type maps often have the NSEC
NSEC field set to '\000.QNAME'. We look for the first label of
this pattern.
e.g.
example.com NSEC \000.example.com SOA NS NSEC RRSIG
example.com RRRSIG NSEC ...
example.com SOA ...
example.com RRRSIG SOA ...
example.com NS ...
example.com RRRSIG NS ...
example.com A ...
example.com RRRSIG A ...
A is missing from the type map.
This introduces a temporary option 'reject-000-label' to control
this behaviour.
This sets as many server options as possible at once to detect
cut-and-paste bugs when implementing new server options in peer.c.
Most of the accessor functions are similar and it is easy to miss
updating a macro name or structure element name when adding new
accessor functions.
checkconf/setup.sh is there to minimise the difference to branches
with optional server options where the list is updated at runtime.
'server <prefix> { broken-nsec yes; };' can now be used to stop
NSEC records from negative responses from servers in the given
prefix being cached and hence available to synth-from-dnssec.
This commit extends ACL syntax handling code with 'port' and
'transport' options. Currently, the extended syntax is available only
for allow-transfer options.
This commit disables the unused 'tls' clause options. For these some
backing code exists, but their values are not really used anywhere,
nor there are sufficient syntax tests for them.
These options are only disabled temporarily, until TLS certificate
verification gets implemented.
The new rules compare the target name in PTR and SRV records against
the machine name embedded in the kerberos principal. This can be
used to further restrict what PTR and SRV records can be added or
deleted via dynamic updates if desired.
Remove the dynamic registration of result codes. Convert isc_result_t
from unsigned + #defines into 32-bit enum type in grand unified
<isc/result.h> header. Keep the existing values of the result codes
even at the expense of the description and identifier tables being
unnecessary large.
Additionally, add couple of:
switch (result) {
[...]
default:
break;
}
statements where compiler now complains about missing enum values in the
switch statement.
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.
"cache-file" was already documented as intended for testing
purposes only and not to be used, so we can remove it without
waiting. this commit marks the option as "ancient", and
removes all the documentation and implementing code, including
dns_cache_setfilename() and dns_cache_dump().
it also removes the documentation for the '-x cachefile`
parameter to named, which had already been removed, but the man
page was not updated at the time.
This commit fixes a regression introduced at
ea80bcc41c933efaf4572a36c961913a6e8a58b0. Some options, which are
common to both DoH and DoT were mistakenly disabled for non-DoH
builds. That is a mistake, because DoH does not imply DoT and vice
versa. Not fixing this would make DoT functionality not accessible
without DoH.
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 adds the code (and some tests) which allows verifying
validity of HTTP paths both in incoming HTTP requests and in BIND's
configuration file.
This commit adds two new autoconf options `--enable-doh` (enabled by
default) and `--with-libnghttp2` (mandatory when DoH is enabled).
When DoH support is disabled the library is not linked-in and support
for http(s) protocol is disabled in the netmgr, named and dig.
This commit adds a new configuration option to set the receive and send
buffer sizes on the TCP and UDP netmgr sockets. The default is `0`
which doesn't set any value and just uses the value set by the operating
system.
There's no magic value here - set it too small and the performance will
drop, set it too large, the buffers can fill-up with queries that have
already timeouted on the client side and nobody is interested for the
answer and this would just make the server clog up even more by making
it produce useless work.
The `netstat -su` can be used on POSIX systems to monitor the receive
and send buffer errors.
Add a new option 'purge-keys' to 'dnssec-policy' that will purge key
files for deleted keys. The option determines how long key files
should be retained prior to removing the corresponding files from
disk.
If set to 0, the option is disabled and 'named' will not remove key
files from disk.
updated the parser to allow the "port", "tls" and "http"
paramters to "listen-on" and "listen-on-v6" to be specified in any
order. previously the parser would throw an error if any other order
was used than port, tls, http.
This commit adds stub parser support and tests for:
- an "http" global option for HTTP/2 endpoint configuration.
- command line options to set http or https port numbers by
specifying -p http=PORT or -p https=PORT. (NOTE: this change
only affects syntax; specifying HTTP and HTTPS ports on the
command line currently has no effect.)
- named.conf options "http-port" and "https-port"
- HTTPSPORT environment variable for use when running tests.
Add support for a "tls" key/value pair for zone primaries, referencing
either a "tls" configuration statement or "ephemeral". If set to use
TLS, zones will send SOA and AXFR/IXFR queries over a TLS channel.
