Notes for BIND 9.17.12
----------------------
Security Fixes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- A malformed incoming IXFR transfer could trigger an assertion failure
in ``named``, causing it to quit abnormally. (CVE-2021-25214)
ISC would like to thank Greg Kuechle of SaskTel for bringing this
vulnerability to our attention. [GL #2467]
- ``named`` crashed when a DNAME record placed in the ANSWER section
during DNAME chasing turned out to be the final answer to a client
query. (CVE-2021-25215)
ISC would like to thank `Siva Kakarla`_ for bringing this
vulnerability to our attention. [GL #2540]

Feature Changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- The ISC implementation of SPNEGO was removed from BIND 9 source code.
Instead, BIND 9 now always uses the SPNEGO implementation provided by
the system GSSAPI library when it is built with GSSAPI support. All
major contemporary Kerberos/GSSAPI libraries contain an implementation
of the SPNEGO mechanism. This change was introduced in BIND 9.17.2,
but it was not included in the release notes at the time. [GL #2607]
- The default value for the ``stale-answer-client-timeout`` option was
changed from ``1800`` (ms) to ``off``. The default value may be
changed again in future releases as this feature matures. [GL #2608]
Bug Fixes
~~~~~~~~~
- TCP idle and initial timeouts were being incorrectly applied: only the
``tcp-initial-timeout`` was applied on the whole connection, even if
the connection were still active, which could prevent a large zone
transfer from being sent back to the client. The default setting for
``tcp-initial-timeout`` was 30 seconds, which meant that any TCP
connection taking more than 30 seconds was abruptly terminated. This
has been fixed. [GL #2583]
- When ``stale-answer-client-timeout`` was set to a positive value and
recursion for a client query completed when ``named`` was about to
look for a stale answer, an assertion could fail in
``query_respond()``, resulting in a crash. This has been fixed.
[GL #2594]
- After upgrading to the previous release, journal files for trust
anchor databases (e.g. ``managed-keys.bind.jnl``) could be left in a
corrupt state. (Other zone journal files were not affected.) This has
been fixed. If a corrupt journal file is detected, ``named`` can now
recover from it. [GL #2600]
- When sending queries over TCP, ``dig`` now properly handles ``+tries=1
+retry=0`` by not retrying the connection when the remote server
closes the connection prematurely. [GL #2490]
- CDS/CDNSKEY DELETE records are now removed when a zone transitions
from a secure to an insecure state. ``named-checkzone`` also no longer
reports an error when such records are found in an unsigned zone.
[GL #2517]
- Zones using KASP could not be thawed after they were frozen using
``rndc freeze``. This has been fixed. [GL #2523]
- After ``rndc checkds -checkds`` or ``rndc dnssec -rollover`` is used,
``named`` now immediately attempts to reconfigure zone keys. This
change prevents unnecessary key rollover delays. [GL #2488]
- ``named`` crashed after skipping a primary server while transferring a
zone over TLS. This has been fixed. [GL #2562]
