Define a :gl: Sphinx role that takes a GitLab issue/MR number as an argument and creates a hyperlink to the relevant ISC GitLab URL. This makes it easy to reach ISC GitLab pages directly from the release notes. Make all GitLab references in the release notes use the new Sphinx role.

Notes for BIND 9.17.12
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
Security Fixes
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
- A malformed incoming IXFR transfer could trigger an assertion failure
|
|
in ``named``, causing it to quit abnormally. (CVE-2021-25214)
|
|
|
|
ISC would like to thank Greg Kuechle of SaskTel for bringing this
|
|
vulnerability to our attention. :gl:`#2467`
|
|
|
|
- ``named`` crashed when a DNAME record placed in the ANSWER section
|
|
during DNAME chasing turned out to be the final answer to a client
|
|
query. (CVE-2021-25215)
|
|
|
|
ISC would like to thank `Siva Kakarla`_ for bringing this
|
|
vulnerability to our attention. :gl:`#2540`

Feature Changes
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
- The ISC implementation of SPNEGO was removed from BIND 9 source code.
|
|
Instead, BIND 9 now always uses the SPNEGO implementation provided by
|
|
the system GSSAPI library when it is built with GSSAPI support. All
|
|
major contemporary Kerberos/GSSAPI libraries contain an implementation
|
|
of the SPNEGO mechanism. This change was introduced in BIND 9.17.2,
|
|
but it was not included in the release notes at the time. :gl:`#2607`
|
|
|
|
- The default value for the ``stale-answer-client-timeout`` option was
|
|
changed from ``1800`` (ms) to ``off``. The default value may be
|
|
changed again in future releases as this feature matures. :gl:`#2608`
|
|
|
|
Bug Fixes
|
|
~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
- TCP idle and initial timeouts were being incorrectly applied: only the
|
|
``tcp-initial-timeout`` was applied on the whole connection, even if
|
|
the connection were still active, which could prevent a large zone
|
|
transfer from being sent back to the client. The default setting for
|
|
``tcp-initial-timeout`` was 30 seconds, which meant that any TCP
|
|
connection taking more than 30 seconds was abruptly terminated. This
|
|
has been fixed. :gl:`#2583`
|
|
|
|
- When ``stale-answer-client-timeout`` was set to a positive value and
|
|
recursion for a client query completed when ``named`` was about to
|
|
look for a stale answer, an assertion could fail in
|
|
``query_respond()``, resulting in a crash. This has been fixed.
|
|
:gl:`#2594`
|
|
|
|
- After upgrading to the previous release, journal files for trust
|
|
anchor databases (e.g. ``managed-keys.bind.jnl``) could be left in a
|
|
corrupt state. (Other zone journal files were not affected.) This has
|
|
been fixed. If a corrupt journal file is detected, ``named`` can now
|
|
recover from it. :gl:`#2600`
|
|
|
|
- When sending queries over TCP, ``dig`` now properly handles ``+tries=1
|
|
+retry=0`` by not retrying the connection when the remote server
|
|
closes the connection prematurely. :gl:`#2490`
|
|
|
|
- CDS/CDNSKEY DELETE records are now removed when a zone transitions
|
|
from a secure to an insecure state. ``named-checkzone`` also no longer
|
|
reports an error when such records are found in an unsigned zone.
|
|
:gl:`#2517`
|
|
|
|
- Zones using KASP could not be thawed after they were frozen using
|
|
``rndc freeze``. This has been fixed. :gl:`#2523`
|
|
|
|
- After ``rndc checkds -checkds`` or ``rndc dnssec -rollover`` is used,
|
|
``named`` now immediately attempts to reconfigure zone keys. This
|
|
change prevents unnecessary key rollover delays. :gl:`#2488`
|
|
|
|
- ``named`` crashed after skipping a primary server while transferring a
|
|
zone over TLS. This has been fixed. :gl:`#2562`
