implement, document, and test the 'max-query-restarts' option
which specifies the query restart limit - the number of times
we can follow CNAMEs before terminating resolution.
The OpenSSL 1.x Engines support has been deprecated in the OpenSSL 3.x
and is going to be removed. Remove the OpenSSL Engine support in favor
of OpenSSL Providers.
Since the minimal OpenSSL version is now OpenSSL 1.1.1, remove all kind
of OpenSSL shims and checks for functions that are now always present in
the OpenSSL libraries.

A different solution in the future might be adopted depending
on feedback and other new information, so it makes sense to mark
these options as EXPERIMENTAL until we have more data.
In order to protect from a malicious DNS client that sends many
queries with a SIG(0)-signed message, add a quota of simultaneously
running SIG(0) checks.
This protection can only help when named is using more than one worker
threads. For example, if named is running with the '-n 4' option, and
'sig0checks-quota 2;' is used, then named will make sure to not use
more than 2 workers for the SIG(0) signature checks in parallel, thus
leaving the other workers to serve the remaining clients which do not
use SIG(0)-signed messages.
That limitation is going to change when SIG(0) signature checks are
offloaded to "slow" threads in a future commit.
The 'sig0checks-quota-exempt' ACL option can be used to exempt certain
clients from the quota requirements using their IP or network addresses.
The 'sig0checks-quota-maxwait-ms' option is used to define a maximum
amount of time for named to wait for a quota to appear. If during that
time no new quota becomes available, named will answer to the client
with DNS_R_REFUSED.
Previously, the number of RR types for a single owner name was limited
only by the maximum number of the types (64k). As the data structure
that holds the RR types for the database node is just a linked list, and
there are places where we just walk through the whole list (again and
again), adding a large number of RR types for a single owner named with
would slow down processing of such name (database node).
Add a configurable limit to cap the number of the RR types for a single
owner. This is enforced at the database (rbtdb, qpzone, qpcache) level
and configured with new max-types-per-name configuration option that
can be configured globally, per-view and per-zone.
Previously, the number of RRs in the RRSets were internally unlimited.
As the data structure that holds the RRs is just a linked list, and
there are places where we just walk through all of the RRs, adding an
RRSet with huge number of RRs inside would slow down processing of said
RRSets.
Add a configurable limit to cap the number of the RRs in a single RRSet.
This is enforced at the database (rbtdb, qpzone, qpcache) level and
configured with new max-records-per-type configuration option that can
be configured globally, per-view and per-zone.
Be stricter in durations that are accepted. Basically we accept ISO 8601
formats, but fail to detect garbage after the integers in such strings.
For example, 'P7.5D' will be treated as 7 days. Pass 'endptr' to
'strtoll' and check if the endptr is at the correct suffix.
by default, QPDB is the database used by named and all tools and
unit tests. the old default of RBTDB can now be restored by using
"configure --with-zonedb=rbt --with-cachedb=rbt".
some tests have been fixed so they will work correctly with either
database.
CHANGES and release notes have been updated to reflect this change.
replace the string "rbt" throughout BIND with "qp" so that
qpdb databases will be used by default instead of rbtdb.
rbtdb databases can still be used by specifying "database rbt;"
in a zone statement.
Using the 'dnssec-validation yes' option now requires an explicitly
confgiured 'trust-anchors' statement (or 'managed-keys' or
'trusted-keys', both deprecated).
Instead of running all the cryptographic validation in a tight loop,
spread it out into multiple event loop "ticks", but moving every single
validation into own isc_async_run() asynchronous event. Move the
cryptographic operations - both verification and DNSKEY selection - to
the offloaded threads (isc_work_enqueue), this further limits the time
we spend doing expensive operations on the event loops that should be
fast.
Limit the impact of invalid or malicious RRSets that contain crafted
records causing the dns_validator to do many validations per single
fetch by adding a cap on the maximum number of validations and maximum
number of validation failures that can happen before the resolving
fails.
the 'low', 'high' and 'discount' parameters to 'fetch-quota-param'
are meant to be ratios with values between zero and one, but higher
values can be assigned. this could potentially lead to an assertion
in maybe_adjust_quota().
This is now the default way to implement attaching to/detaching from
a pointer.
Also update cfg_keystore_fromconfig() to allow NULL value for the
keystore pointer. In most cases we detach it immediately after the
function call.
Add a default key-directory parameter to the function that can
be returned if there is no keystore, or if the keystore directory
is NULL (the latter is also true for the built-in keystore).
The name "uri" was considered to be too generic and could potentially
clash with a future URI configuration option. Renamed to "pkcs11-uri".
Note that this option name was also preferred over "pkcs11uri", the
dash is considered to be the more clearer form.
If there is a keystore configured with a PKCS#11 URI, zones that
are using a dnssec-policy that uses such a keystore should create keys
via the PKCS#11 interface. Those keys are generally stored inside an
HSM.
Some changes to the code are required, to store the engine reference
into the keystore.
When creating the kasp structure, instead of storing the name of the
key store on keys, store a reference to the key store object instead.
This requires to build the keystore list prior to creating the kasp
structures, in the dnssec tools, the check code and the server code.
We will create a builtin keystore called "key-directory" which means
use the zone's key-directory as the key store.
The check code changes, because now the keystore is looked up before
creating the kasp structure (and if the keystore is not found, this
is an error). Instead of looking up the keystore after all
'dnssec-policy' clauses have been read.
Similar to key-directory, check for zones in different views and
different key and signing policies. Zones must be using different key
directories to store key files on disk.
Now that a key directory can be linked with a dnssec-policy key, the
'keydirexist' checking needs to be reshuffled.
Add tests for bad configuration examples, named-checkconf should catch
those. Also add test cases for a mix of key-directory and key-store
directory.
Similar to key-directory, check if the key-store directory exists and
if it is an actual directory.
This commit fixes an accidental test bug in checkconf where if
the "warn key-dir" test failed, the result was ignored.
Add checkconf check to ensure that the used key-store in the keys
section exists. Error if that is not the case. We also don't allow
the special keyword 'key-directory' as that is internally used to
signal that the zone's key-directory should be used.
Add code for configuring keystore objects. Add this to the "kaspconf"
code, as it is related to 'dnssec-policy' and it is too small to create
a separate file for it.
Add new configuration for setting key stores. The new 'key-store'
statement allows users to configure key store backends. These can be
of type 'file' (that works the same as 'key-directory') or of type
'pkcs11'. In the latter case, keys should be stored in a HSM that is
accessible through a PKCS#11 interface.
Keys configured within 'dnssec-policy' can now also use the 'key-store'
option to set a specific key store.
Update the checkconf test to accomodate for the new configuration.
Remove the CFG_CLAUSEFLAG_EXPERIMENTAL flag from the
"trust-anchor-telemetry" statement as the behavior of the latter has not
been changed since its initial implementation and there are currently no
plans to do so. This silences a relevant log message that was emitted
even when the feature was explicitly disabled.
these options control default timing of retries in the resolver
for experimental purposes; they are not known to useful in production
environments. they will be removed in the future; for now, we
only log a warning if they are used.
The main intention of PROXY protocol is to pass endpoints information
to a back-end server (in our case - BIND). That means that it is a
valid way to spoof endpoints information, as the addresses and ports
extracted from PROXYv2 headers, from the point of view of BIND, are
used instead of the real connection addresses.
Of course, an ability to easily spoof endpoints information can be
considered a security issue when used uncontrollably. To resolve that,
we introduce 'allow-proxy' and 'allow-proxy-on' ACL options. These are
the only ACL options in BIND that work with real PROXY connections
addresses, allowing a DNS server operator to specify from what clients
and on which interfaces he or she is willing to accept PROXY
headers. By default, for security reasons we do not allow to accept
them.
This commit extends "listen-on" statement with "proxy" options that
allows one to enable PROXYv2 support on a dedicated listener. It can
have the following values:
- "plain" to send PROXYv2 headers without encryption, even in the case
of encrypted transports.
- "encrypted" to send PROXYv2 headers encrypted right after the TLS
handshake.
The AES algorithm for DNS cookies was being kept for legacy reasons, and
it can be safely removed in the next major release. Remove both the AES
usage for DNS cookies and the AES implementation itself.
The AES algorithm for DNS cookies was being kept for legacy reasons,
and it can be safely removed in the next major release. Mark is as
deprecated, so the `named-checkconf` prints a warning when in use.
The lock-file configuration (both from configuration file and -X
argument to named) has better alternatives nowadays. Modern process
supervisor should be used to ensure that a single named process is
running on a given configuration.
Alternatively, it's possible to wrap the named with flock(1).
This is first step in removing the lock-file configuration option, it
marks both the `lock-file` configuration directive and -X option to
named as deprecated.
