3938. [func] Added quotas to be used in recursive resolvers
that are under high query load for names in zones
whose authoritative servers are nonresponsive or
are experiencing a denial of service attack.
- "fetches-per-server" limits the number of
simultaneous queries that can be sent to any
single authoritative server. The configured
value is a starting point; it is automatically
adjusted downward if the server is partially or
completely non-responsive. The algorithm used to
adjust the quota can be configured via the
"fetch-quota-params" option.
- "fetches-per-zone" limits the number of
simultaneous queries that can be sent for names
within a single domain. (Note: Unlike
"fetches-per-server", this value is not
self-tuning.)
- New stats counters have been added to count
queries spilled due to these quotas.
These options are not available by default;
use "configure --enable-fetchlimit" (or
--enable-developer) to include them in the build.
See the ARM for details of these options. [RT #37125]
4006. [security] A flaw in delegation handling could be exploited
to put named into an infinite loop. This has
been addressed by placing limits on the number
of levels of recursion named will allow (default 7),
and the number of iterative queries that it will
send (default 50) before terminating a recursive
query (CVE-2014-8500).
The recursion depth limit is configured via the
"max-recursion-depth" option. [RT #35780]
This incorporates the following changes, plus a new configure
option "--enable-rrl" to turn them on:
3575. [func] Changed the logging category for RRL events from
'queries' to 'query-errors'. [RT #33540]
3554. [bug] RRL failed to correctly rate-limit upward
referrals and failed to count dropped error
responses in the statistics. [RT #33225]
3545. [bug] RRL slip behavior was incorrect when set to 1.
[RT #33111]
3518. [bug] Increase the size of dns_rrl_key.s.rtype by one bit
so that all dns_rrl_rtype_t enum values fit regardless
of whether it is teated as signed or unsigned by
the compiler. [RT #32792]
3494. [func] DNS RRL: Blunt the impact of DNS reflection and
amplification attacks by rate-limiting substantially-
identical responses. To enable, use "configure
--enable-rrl". [RT #28130]
3501. [func] zone-statistics now takes three options: full,
terse, and none. "yes" and "no" are retained as
synonyms for full and terse, respectively. [RT #29165]
(cherry picked from commit 40a7e85f3e)
of DNSSEC records in signed dynamic zones. Set to
'no-resign' to disable automatic RRSIG regeneration
while retaining the ability to sign new or changed
data. [RT #24533]
how often, in minutes, to check the key repository
for updates when using automatic key maintenance.
Default is every 60 minutes (formerly hard-coded
to 12 hours). [RT #23744]
3101. [bug] Zones using automatic key maintenance could fail
to check the key repository for updates. [RT #23744]
to 10. Allow setting this in named.conf using the new
'resolver-query-timeout' option, which specifies a max
time in seconds. 0 means 'default' and anything longer
than 30 will be silently set to 30. [RT #22852]
support for addzone/delzone feature (see change
#2930). Removed "new-zone-file" option, replaced
with "allow-new-zones (yes|no)". The new-zone-file
for each view is now created automatically, with
a filename generated from a hash of the view name.
It is no longer necessary to "include" the
new-zone-file in named.conf; this happens
automatically. Zones that were not added via
"rndc addzone" can no longer be removed with
"rndc delzone". [RT #19447]
to DNSSEC but are sematically equal according to plain
DNS. Apply plain DNS comparisons rather than DNSSEC
comparisons when processing UPDATE requests.
dnssec-signzone now removes such semantically duplicate
records prior to signing the RRset.
named-checkzone -r {ignore|warn|fail} (default warn)
named-compilezone -r {ignore|warn|fail} (default warn)
named.conf: check-dup-records {ignore|warn|fail};
if built with './configure --enable-filter-aaaa'.
Filters out AAAA answers to clients connecting
via IPv4. (This is NOT recommended for general
use.) [RT #20339]
update are now fully supported and no longer require
defines to enable. We now no longer overload the
NSEC3PARAM flag field, nor the NSEC OPT bit at the
apex. Secure to insecure changes are controlled by
by the named.conf option 'secure-to-insecure'.
Warning: If you had previously enabled support by
adding defines at compile time to BIND 9.6 you should
ensure that all changes that are in progress have
completed prior to upgrading to BIND 9.7. BIND 9.7
is not backwards compatible.
maintenance. The new "managed-keys" statement can
be used in place of "trusted-keys" for zones which
support this protocol. (Note: this syntax is
expected to change prior to 9.7.0 final.) [RT #19248]
- add ddns-confgen command to generate
configuration text for named.conf
- add zone option "ddns-autoconf yes;", which
causes named to generate a TSIG session key
and allow updates to the zone using that key
- add '-l' (localhost) option to nsupdate, which
causes nsupdate to connect to a locally-running
named process using the session key generated
by named
[RT #19284]
"dnssec-lookaside auto;" This is the equivalent
of "dnssec-lookaside . trust-anchor dlv.isc.org;"
plus setting a trusted-key for dlv.isc.org.
Note: The trusted key is hard-coded into named,
but is also stored in (and can be overridden
by) $sysconfdir/bind.keys. As the ISC DLV key
rolls over it can be kept up to date by replacing
the bind.keys file with a key downloaded from
https://www.isc.org/solutions/dlv. [RT #18685]
