Remove code that triggers key and denial of existence management
operations. Dynamic update should no longer be used to do DNSSEC
maintenance (other than that of course signatures need to be
created for the new zone contents).
Remove test cases that rely upon key and denial of existence
management operations triggered by dynamic updates.
The autosign system test needed a bit more care than just removing
because the test cases are dependent on each other, so there are some
additional tweaks such as setting the NSEC3PARAM via rndc signing,
and renaming zone input files. In the process, some additional
debug output files have been added, and a 'ret' fail case overwrite
was fixed.
Since this is very sensitive code which has often had security
problems in many DNS implementations, it needs a decent amount of
validation. This fuzzer ensures that the new code has the same output
as the old code, and that it doesn't take longer than a second.
The benchmark uses the fuzzer's copy of the old dns_name_fromwire()
code to compare a number of scenarios: many compression pointers, many
labels, long labels, random data, with/without downcasing.
The aim is to do less work per byte:
* Check the bounds for each label, instead of checking the
bounds for each character.
* Instead of copying one character at a time from the wire to
the name, copy entire runs of sequential labels using memmove()
to make the most of its fast loop.
* To remember where the name ends, we only need to set the end
marker when we see a compression pointer or when we reach the
root label. There is no need to check if we jumped back and
conditionally update the counter for every character.
* To parse a compression pointer, we no longer take a diversion
around the outer loop in between reading the upper byte of the
pointer and the lower byte.
* The parser state machine is now implicit in the instruction
pointer, instead of being an explicit variable. Similarly,
when we reach the root label we break directly out of the loop
instead of setting a second state machine variable.
* DNS_NAME_DOWNCASE is never used with dns_name_fromwire() so
that option is no longer supported.
I have removed this comment which dated from January 1999 when
dns_name_fromwire() was first introduced:
/*
* Note: The following code is not optimized for speed, but
* rather for correctness. Speed will be addressed in the future.
*/
No functional change, apart from removing support for the unused
DNS_NAME_DOWNCASE option. The new code is about 2x faster than the
old code: best case 11x faster, worst case 1.4x faster.
C does not make any guarantees about the value of padding in a
structure, so bytewise comparison of two semantically equal structures
with padding can be spuriously non-equal due to non-equal padding
bytes.
Compare each member of name.attributes individually to avoid this
problem.
Create a zone that triggers DNAME owner name checks in a zone that
is only reachable using a dual stack server. The answer contains
a name that is higher in the tree than the query name.
e.g.
foo.v4only.net. CNAME v4only.net.
v4only.net. A 10.0.0.1
ns4 is serving the test zone (ipv4-only)
ns6 is the root server for this test (dual stacked)
ns7 is acting as the dual stack server (dual stacked)
ns9 is the server under test (ipv6-only)
When using dual-stack-servers the covering namespace to check whether
answers are in scope or not should be fctx->domain. To do this we need
to be able to distingish forwarding due to forwarders clauses and
dual-stack-servers. A new flag FCTX_ADDRINFO_DUALSTACK has been added
to signal this.
checkbashisms warns about possible reliance on HOSTNAME environmental
variable which Bash sets to the name of the current host, and some
commands may leverage it:
possible bashism in builtin/tests.sh line 199 ($HOST(TYPE|NAME)):
grep "^\"$HOSTNAME\"$" dig.out.ns1.$n > /dev/null || ret=1
possible bashism in builtin/tests.sh line 221 ($HOST(TYPE|NAME)):
grep "^\"$HOSTNAME\"$" dig.out.ns2.$n > /dev/null || ret=1
possible bashism in builtin/tests.sh line 228 ($HOST(TYPE|NAME)):
grep "^; NSID: .* (\"$HOSTNAME\")$" dig.out.ns2.$n > /dev/null || ret=1
We don't use the variable this way but rename it to HOST_NAME to silence
the tool.
"next_key_event_threshold" is assigned with
"next_key_event_threshold+i", but "i" is empty (never set, nor used
afterwards).
posh, the Policy-compliant Ordinary SHell, failed on this assignment
with:
tests.sh:253: : unexpected `end of expression'
checkbashisms gets confused by the rndc command being on two lines:
possible bashism in bin/tests/system/nzd2nzf/tests.sh line 37 (type):
rndccmd 10.53.0.1 addzone "added.example { type primary; file \"added.db\";
checkbashisms reports Bash-style ("==") string comparisons inside test/[
command:
possible bashism in bin/tests/system/checkconf/tests.sh line 105 (should be 'b = a'):
if [ $? == 0 ]; then echo_i "failed"; ret=1; fi
possible bashism in bin/tests/system/keyfromlabel/tests.sh line 62 (should be 'b = a'):
test $ret == 0 || continue
possible bashism in bin/tests/system/keyfromlabel/tests.sh line 79 (should be 'b = a'):
test $ret == 0 || continue
The checkbashisms script reports errors like this one:
script util/check-line-length.sh does not appear to have a #! interpreter line;
you may get strange results
It was possible to set operating system limits (RLIMIT_DATA,
RLIMIT_STACK, RLIMIT_CORE and RLIMIT_NOFILE) from named.conf. It's
better to leave these untouched as setting these is responsibility of
the operating system and/or supervisor.
Deprecate the configuration options and remove them in future BIND 9
release.
The small/large tuning has been completely removed from the code with
last remnant of the dead code in ns_interfacemgr. Remove the dead code
and the configure option.
There were a number of places where the zone table should have been
locked, but wasn't, when dns_zt_apply was called.
Added a isc_rwlocktype_t type parameter to dns_zt_apply and adjusted
all calls to using it. Removed locks in callers.
The retry 3 times when checking signatures did not make sense because
at this point the input file does not change.
Raise the number of retries when checking the apex DNSKEY response to
reduce the number of intermittent failures due to unexpected delays.
Despite the RFC says that the NSEC3PARAM is not something that is
intended for the resolver to be cached, and thus the TTL of 0 is most
logical, a zero TTL RRset can be abused by bad actors.
Change the default to SOA MINIMUM.
The call to dns_view_flushcache() is done under exclusive mode, but we
still need to check if view->adb is still attached before calling
dns_adb_flush() because the shutdown might have been already
initialized. This most likely only a theoretical problem on shutdown
because there's either no way how to initiate cache flush when shutting
down or very slim window where the `rndc flush` would have to hit the
slim time during named shutdown.
When starting priming from dns_view_find(), the dns_view shutdown could
be initiated by different thread, detaching from the resolver. Use
dns_view_getresolver() to attach to the resolver under view->lock, so we
don't try to call dns_resolver_prime() with NULL pointer.
There are more accesses to view->resolver, (and also view->adb and
view->requestmgr that suffer from the same problem) in the dns_view
module, but they are all done in exclusive mode or under a view->lock.
