It's unclear if we are going to keep it or not, so let's mark it as
deprecated for a good measure. It's easier to un-deprecate it than the
other way around.
A number of DNS implementation produce NSEC records with bad type
maps that don't contain types that exist at the name leading to
NODATA responses being synthesize instead of the records in the
zone. NSEC records with these bad type maps often have the NSEC
NSEC field set to '\000.QNAME'. We look for the first label of
this pattern.
e.g.
example.com NSEC \000.example.com SOA NS NSEC RRSIG
example.com RRRSIG NSEC ...
example.com SOA ...
example.com RRRSIG SOA ...
example.com NS ...
example.com RRRSIG NS ...
example.com A ...
example.com RRRSIG A ...
A is missing from the type map.
This introduces a temporary option 'reject-000-label' to control
this behaviour.
'server <prefix> { broken-nsec yes; };' can now be used to stop
NSEC records from negative responses from servers in the given
prefix being cached and hence available to synth-from-dnssec.
This commit updates both the reference manual and release notes with
the information that 'allow-transfer' has been extended with
additional "port" and "transport" options.
This commit extends ACL syntax handling code with 'port' and
'transport' options. Currently, the extended syntax is available only
for allow-transfer options.
This commit disables the unused 'tls' clause options. For these some
backing code exists, but their values are not really used anywhere,
nor there are sufficient syntax tests for them.
These options are only disabled temporarily, until TLS certificate
verification gets implemented.
The documentation was inconsistent with the code. The new description
for cookie-algorithm now reflects the current behavior.
The following two commits are the relevant code changes to this
section of docs: afa81ee4a912f313
The version number for the XML statistics channel was not incremented
correctly after removal of isc_socket code in
a55589f881, and the JSON version number
was not incremented at all.
The lame-ttl cache is implemented in ADB as per-server locked
linked-list "indexed" with <qname,qtype>. This list has to be walked
every time there's a new query or new record added into the lame cache.
Determined attacker can use this to degrade performance of the resolver.
Resolver testing has shown that disabling the lame cache has little
impact on the resolver performance and it's a minimal viable defense
against this kind of attack.
When using 'nsec3param' in 'dnssec-policy' and no specific parameters
are provided, default to zero additional iterations and no salt, as
recommended by draft-ietf-dnsop-nsec3-guidance.
The ReferenceRole class is only available in Sphinx >= 2.0.0, which
makes building BIND 9 documentation impossible with older Sphinx
versions:
Running Sphinx v1.7.6
Configuration error:
There is a programable error in your configuration file:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/sphinx/config.py", line 161, in __init__
execfile_(filename, config)
File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/sphinx/util/pycompat.py", line 150, in execfile_
exec_(code, _globals)
File "conf.py", line 21, in <module>
from sphinx.util.docutils import ReferenceRole
ImportError: cannot import name 'ReferenceRole'
Work around the problem by defining a stub version of the ReferenceRole
class if the latter cannot be imported. This allows documentation
(without GitLab hyperlinks in release notes) to be built with older
Sphinx versions.
The new rules compare the target name in PTR and SRV records against
the machine name embedded in the kerberos principal. This can be
used to further restrict what PTR and SRV records can be added or
deleted via dynamic updates if desired.
Replace some "master/slave" terminology in the code with the preferred
"primary/secondary" keywords. This also changes user output such as
log messages, and fixes a typo ("seconary") in cfg_test.c.
There are still some references to "master" and "slave" for various
reasons:
- The old syntax can still be used as a synonym.
- The master syntax is kept when it refers to master files and formats.
- This commit replaces mainly keywords that are local. If "master" or
"slave" is used in for example a structure that is all over the
place, it is considered out of scope for the moment.
