Security Fixes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Fixed an assertion failure that occurred in ``named`` when it
attempted to send a UDP packet that exceeded the MTU size, if
Response Rate Limiting (RRL) was enabled. (CVE-2021-25218) :gl:`#2856`
- ``named`` failed to check the opcode of responses when performing zone
refreshes, stub zone updates, and UPDATE forwarding. This could lead
to an assertion failure under certain conditions and has been
addressed by rejecting responses whose opcode does not match the
expected value. :gl:`#2762`

- DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) support can now be disabled at compile time using
a new build-time option, ``--disable-doh``. This allows BIND 9 to be
built without the libnghttp2 library. :gl:`#2478`
- It is now possible to set a hard quota on both the number of
concurrent DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) connections and the number of active
HTTP/2 streams per connection, by using the ``http-listener-clients``

- Memory allocation has been substantially refactored; it is now based
on the memory allocation API provided by the jemalloc library, on
platforms where it is available. Use of this library is now
recommended when building BIND 9; although it is optional, it is
enabled by default. :gl:`#2433`

an OPT record, as an indication that a given server did not support
EDNS. To implement full compliance with :rfc:`6891`, only FORMERR

- Testing revealed that setting the thread affinity for various types of
``named`` threads led to inconsistent recursive performance, as
sometimes multiple sets of threads competed over a single resource.
Due to the above, ``named`` no longer sets thread affinity. This
causes a slight dip of around 5% in authoritative performance, but
recursive performance is now consistently improved. :gl:`#2822`
- CDS and CDNSKEY records can now be published in a zone without the
requirement that they exactly match an existing DNSKEY record, as long
