Notes for BIND 9.17.17
----------------------
Security Fixes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Named failed to check the opcode of responses when performing refresh,
stub updates, and UPDATE forwarding. This could lead to an assertion
failure under particular conditions. This has been addressed by checking
the opcode of those responses and rejecting the messages if they don't
match the expected value. :gl:`#2762`
Known Issues
~~~~~~~~~~~~
- None.
New Features
~~~~~~~~~~~~
- It is now possible to set a hard quota on the number of concurrent DoH
connections, and the number of active HTTP/2 streams per connection,
by using the ``http-listener-clients`` and ``http-streams-per-connection``
options, or the ``listener-clients`` and ``streams-per-connection``
parameters to an ``http`` statement. The defaults are 300 and 100
respectively. :gl:`#2809`
Removed Features
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- None.
Feature Changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- DNS over HTTPS support can be disabled at the compile time via the new
configuration option ``--disable-doh``. This allows BIND 9 to be
compiled without libnghttp2 library. :gl:`#2478`
- Memory allocation has been substantially refactored, and is now based on
the memory allocation API provided by the `jemalloc` library on platforms
where it is available. This library is now recommended for building BIND 9.
:gl:`#2433`
- Previously, named accepted FORMERR responses both with and without
an OPT record, as an indication that a given server did not support
EDNS. To implement full compliance with RFC 6891, only FORMERR
responses without an OPT record are now accepted. This intentionally
breaks communication with servers that do not support EDNS and
that incorrectly echo back the query message with the RCODE field
set to FORMERR and the QR bit set to 1. :gl:`#2249`
- CDS and CDNSKEY records may now be published in a zone without the
requirement that they exactly match an existing DNSKEY record, so long
the zone is signed with an algorithm represented in the CDS or CDNSKEY
record. This allows a clean rollover from one DNS provider to another
when using a multiple-signer DNSSEC configuration. :gl:`#2710`
- ``dnssec-signzone`` is now able to retain signatures from inactive
predecessor keys without introducing additional signatures from the successor
key. This allows for a gradual replacement of RRSIGs as they reach expiry.
:gl:`#1551`
Bug Fixes
~~~~~~~~~
- Testing revealed that setting the thread affinity on both the netmgr
and netthread threads led to inconsistent recursive performance, as
sometimes the netmgr and netthread threads competed over a single
resource.
When the affinity is not set, tests show a slight dip in the authoritative
performance of around 5% (ranging from 3.8% to 7.8%), but
the recursive performance is now consistently improved. :gl:`#2822`
