Since October 2019 I have had complaints from `dnssec-cds` reporting
that the signatures on some of my test zones had expired. These were
zones signed by BIND 9.15 or 9.17, with a DNSKEY TTL of 24h and
`sig-validity-interval 10 8`.
This is the same setup we have used for our production zones since
2015, which is intended to re-sign the zones every 2 days, keeping
at least 8 days signature validity. The SOA expire interval is 7
days, so even in the presence of zone transfer problems, no-one
should ever see expired signatures. (These timers are a bit too
tight to be completely correct, because I should have increased
the expiry timers when I increased the DNSKEY TTLs from 1h to 24h.
But that should only matter when zone transfers are broken, which
was not the case for the error reports that led to this patch.)
For example, this morning my test zone contained:
dev.dns.cam.ac.uk. 86400 IN RRSIG DNSKEY 13 5 86400 (
20200701221418 20200621213022 ...)
But one of my resolvers had cached:
dev.dns.cam.ac.uk. 21424 IN RRSIG DNSKEY 13 5 86400 (
20200622063022 20200612061136 ...)
This TTL was captured at 20200622105807 so the resolver cached the
RRset 64976 seconds previously (18h02m56s), at 20200621165511
only about 12h before expiry.
The other symptom of this error was incorrect `resign` times in
the output from `rndc zonestatus`.
For example, I have configured a test zone
zone fast.dotat.at {
file "../u/z/fast.dotat.at";
type primary;
auto-dnssec maintain;
sig-validity-interval 500 499;
};
The zone is reset to a minimal zone containing only SOA and NS
records, and when `named` starts it loads and signs the zone. After
that, `rndc zonestatus` reports:
next resign node: fast.dotat.at/NS
next resign time: Fri, 28 May 2021 12:48:47 GMT
The resign time should be within the next 24h, but instead it is
near the signature expiry time, which the RRSIG(NS) says is
20210618074847. (Note 499 hours is a bit more than 20 days.)
May/June 2021 is less than 500 days from now because expiry time
jitter is applied to the NS records.
Using this test I bisected this bug to 09990672d which contained a
mistake leading to the resigning interval always being calculated in
hours, when days are expected.
This bug only occurs for configurations that use the two-argument form
of `sig-validity-interval`.
Add a note why we don't have a test case for the issue.
It is tricky to write a good test case for this if our tools are
not allowed to create signatures for unsupported algorithms.
enough buffer space. Also change named_os_uname() prototype so
that it is now returning (const char *) rather than (char *). If
uname() is not supported on a UNIX build prepopulate unamebuf[]
with "unknown architecture".
if tests that take a particularly long time to complete
(serve-stale, dnssec, rpzrecurse) are run first, a parallel
run of the system tests can finish 1-2 minutes faster.
these keywords were added to the parser as synonyms for "master"
and "slave" but were never hooked in to the configuration of named,
so they were ignored. this has been fixed and the option is now
checked for correctness.
- clone keynode->dsset rather than return a pointer so that thread
use is independent of each other.
- hold a reference to the dsset (keynode) so it can't be deleted
while in use.
- create a new keynode when removing DS records so that dangling
pointers to the deleted records will not occur.
- use a rwlock when accessing the rdatalist to prevent instabilities
when DS records are added.
Due to the changes introduced by the Automake migration, system tests
requiring Python (chain, pipelined, qmin, tcp), dynamic loading of
shared objects (dlzexternal, dyndb, filter-aaaa), or LMDB (nzd2nzf)
currently do not work on Windows. Temporarily disable them on that
platform by moving them from the PARALLEL_COMMON list to the
PARALLEL_UNIX list until the situation is rectified.
Without SYSTEMTESTTOP=.. lines in tests.sh scripts, SYSTEMTESTTOP is
being set to an absolute path. On Windows, this means that an absolute
Cygwin path gets passed as a command line argument to native Windows
binaries, which cannot work and causes system tests to break. Fix by
passing SYSTEMTESTTOP through cygpath on Windows, which causes that
variable to be set to an absolute "mixed mode" path (Windows path with
forward slashes).
Make various adjustments necessary to enable "make dist" to build a BIND
source tarball whose contents are complete enough to build binaries, run
unit & system tests, and generate documentation on Unix systems.
Known outstanding issues:
- "make distcheck" does not work yet.
- Tests do not work for out-of-tree source-tarball-based builds.
- Source tarballs are not complete enough for building on Windows.
All of the above will be addressed in due course.
DS records only belong at delegation points and if present
at the zone apex are invariably the result of administrative
errors. Additionally they can't be queried for with modern
resolvers as the parent servers will be queried.
When ./run.sh <test> is invoked, it acts as a wrapper around
`env - TESTS="<test>" make -e check` to preserve the ability to build
files defined only in the `check` target. Unfortunately, cleaning the
full environment had a side-effect of some tests failing due to missing
binaries and libraries. We now preserve the two most important
variables - PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
Move BIND binaries which are neither daemons nor administrative programs
to $bindir. This results in only the following binaries being left in
$sbindir:
- ddns-confgen
- named
- rndc
- rndc-confgen
- tsig-confgen
It might be possible some pending task would run when kserver is already
cleaned up. Postpone gsstsig structures cleanup after task and timer
managers are destroyed. No pending threads are possible after it.
Make action in maybeshutdown only if doshutdown was not already called.
Might be called from getinput event.
Originally, the default value for max-stale-ttl was 1 week, which could
and in some scenarios lead to cache exhaustion on a busy resolvers.
Picking the default value will always be juggling between value that's
useful (e.g. keeping the already cached records after they have already
expired and the upstream name servers are down) and not bloating the
cache too much (e.g. keeping everything for a very long time). The new
default reflects what we think is a reasonable to time to react on both
sides (upstream authoritative and downstream recursive).
The logic in `keymgr_key_has_successor(key, keyring)` is flawed, it
returns true if there is any key in the keyring that has a successor,
while what we really want here is to make sure that the given key
has a successor in the given keyring.
Rather than relying on `keymgr_key_exists_with_state`, walk the
list of keys in the keyring and check if the key is a successor of
the given predecessor key.
This improves keytime testing on CSK rollover. It now
tests for specific times, and also tests for SyncPublish and
Removed keytimes.
Since an "active key" for ZSK and KSK means something
different, this makes it tricky to decide when a CSK is
active. An "active key" intuitively means the key is signing
so we say a CSK is active when it is creating zone signatures.
This change means a lot of timings for the CSK rollover tests
need to be adjusted.
The keymgr code needs a slight change on calculating the
prepublication time: For a KSK we need to include the parent
registration delay, but for CSK we look at the zone signing
property and stick with the ZSK prepublication calculation.
Registration delay is not part of the Iret retire interval, thus
removed from the calculation when setting the Delete time metadata.
Include the registration delay in prepublication time, because
we need to prepublish the key sooner than just the Ipub
publication interval.
This commit adds testing keytiming metadata. In order to facilitate
this, the kasp system test undergoes a few changes:
1. When finding a key file, rather than only saving the key ID,
also save the base filename and creation date with `key_save`.
These can be used later to set expected key times.
2. Add a test function `set_addkeytime` that takes a key, which
keytiming to update, a datetime in keytiming format, and a number
(seconds) to add, and sets the new time in the given keytime
parameter of the given key. This is used to set the expected key
times.
3. Split `check_keys` in `check_keys` and `check_keytimes`. First we
need to find the keyfile before we can check the keytimes.
We need to retrieve the creation date (and sometimes other
keytimes) to determine the other expected key times.
4. Add helper functions to set the expected key times per policy.
This avoids lots of duplication.
Check for keytimes for the first test cases (all that do not cover
rollovers).
After removing dnssec-settime calls that set key rollover
relationship, we can adjust the counts in test output filenames.
Also fix a couple of more wrong counts in output filenames.
Using dnssec-setttime after dnssec-keygen in the kasp system test
can lead to off by one second failures, so reduce the usage of
dnssec-settime in the setup scripts. This commit deals with
setting the key rollover relationship (predecessor/successor).
In the kasp system test, we are going to set the keytimes on
dnssec-keygen so we can test them against the key creation time.
This prevents off by one second in the test, something that can
happen if you set those times with dnssec-settime after
dnssec-keygen.
Also fix some test output filenames.
For testing purposes mainly, we want to allow set keytimings on
generated keys, such that we don't have to "keygen/settime" which
can result in one second off times.
