Notes for BIND 9.19.17 ---------------------- Security Fixes ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - Previously, sending a specially crafted message over the control channel could cause the packet-parsing code to run out of available stack memory, causing :iscman:`named` to terminate unexpectedly. This has been fixed. :cve:`2023-3341` ISC would like to thank Eric Sesterhenn from X41 D-Sec GmbH for bringing this vulnerability to our attention. :gl:`#4152` New Features ~~~~~~~~~~~~ - Support for User Statically Defined Tracing (USDT) probes has been added. These probes enable fine-grained application tracing and introduce no overhead when they are not enabled. :gl:`#4041` - The client-side support of the EDNS EXPIRE option has been expanded to include IXFR and AXFR query types. This enhancement enables :iscman:`named` to perform AXFR and IXFR queries while incorporating the EDNS EXPIRE option. :gl:`#4170` Removed Features ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - The :any:`dnssec-must-be-secure` option has been deprecated and will be removed in a future release. :gl:`#4263` Feature Changes ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - Compiling with jemalloc versions older than 4.0.0 is no longer supported; those versions do not provide the features required by current BIND 9 releases. :gl:`#4296` - If the ``server`` command is specified, :iscman:`nsupdate` now honors the :option:`nsupdate -v` option for SOA queries by sending both the UPDATE request and the initial query over TCP. :gl:`#1181` Bug Fixes ~~~~~~~~~ - The value of the If-Modified-Since header in the statistics channel was not being correctly validated for its length, potentially allowing an authorized user to trigger a buffer overflow. Ensuring the statistics channel is configured correctly to grant access exclusively to authorized users is essential (see the :any:`statistics-channels` block definition and usage section). :gl:`#4124` This issue was reported independently by Eric Sesterhenn of X41 D-Sec GmbH and Cameron Whitehead. - The Content-Length header in the statistics channel was lacking proper bounds checking. A negative or excessively large value could potentially trigger an integer overflow and result in an assertion failure. :gl:`#4125` This issue was reported by Eric Sesterhenn of X41 D-Sec GmbH. - Several memory leaks caused by not clearing the OpenSSL error stack were fixed. :gl:`#4159` This issue was reported by Eric Sesterhenn of X41 D-Sec GmbH. - The introduction of ``krb5-subdomain-self-rhs`` and ``ms-subdomain-self-rhs`` UPDATE policies accidentally caused :iscman:`named` to return SERVFAIL responses to deletion requests for non-existent PTR and SRV records. This has been fixed. :gl:`#4280` - The :any:`stale-refresh-time` feature was mistakenly disabled when the server cache was flushed by :option:`rndc flush`. This has been fixed. :gl:`#4278` - BIND's memory consumption has been improved by implementing dedicated jemalloc memory arenas for sending buffers. This optimization ensures that memory usage is more efficient and better manages the return of memory pages to the operating system. :gl:`#4038` Known Issues ~~~~~~~~~~~~ - There are no new known issues with this release. See :ref:`above ` for a list of all known issues affecting this BIND 9 branch.
