Notes for BIND 9.16.37
----------------------
Security Fixes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- An UPDATE message flood could cause :iscman:`named` to exhaust all
available memory. This flaw was addressed by adding a new
``update-quota`` option that controls the maximum number of
outstanding DNS UPDATE messages that :iscman:`named` can hold in a
queue at any given time (default: 100). (CVE-2022-3094)
ISC would like to thank Rob Schulhof from Infoblox for bringing this
vulnerability to our attention. :gl:`#3523`
New Features
~~~~~~~~~~~~
- The new ``update-quota`` option can be used to control the number of
simultaneous DNS UPDATE messages that can be processed to update an
authoritative zone on a primary server, or forwarded to the primary
server by a secondary server. The default is 100. A new statistics
counter has also been added to record events when this quota is
exceeded, and the version numbers for the XML and JSON statistics
schemas have been updated. :gl:`#3523`
Removed Features
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- The Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) feature in BIND
is now deprecated. Configuring DSCP values in ``named.conf`` will
cause a warning to be logged. Note that this feature has only been
partly operational since the Network Manager was introduced in
9.16.0. :gl:`#3773`
