Notes for BIND 9.16.15
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
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`
|
|
|
|
.. _Siva Kakarla: https://github.com/sivakesava1
|
|
|
|
- When a server's configuration set the ``tkey-gssapi-keytab`` or
|
|
``tkey-gssapi-credential`` option, a specially crafted GSS-TSIG query
|
|
could cause a buffer overflow in the ISC implementation of SPNEGO (a
|
|
protocol enabling negotiation of the security mechanism used for
|
|
GSSAPI authentication). This flaw could be exploited to crash
|
|
``named`` binaries compiled for 64-bit platforms, and could enable
|
|
remote code execution when ``named`` was compiled for 32-bit
|
|
platforms. (CVE-2021-25216)
|
|
|
|
This vulnerability was reported to us as ZDI-CAN-13347 by Trend Micro
|
|
Zero Day Initiative. :gl:`#2604`
|
|
|
|
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. :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`
|
|
|
|
- If zone journal files written by BIND 9.16.11 or earlier were present
|
|
when BIND was upgraded to BIND 9.16.13 or BIND 9.16.14, the zone file
|
|
for that zone could have been inadvertently rewritten with the current
|
|
zone contents. This caused the original zone file structure (e.g.
|
|
comments, ``$INCLUDE`` directives) to be lost, although the zone data
|
|
itself was preserved. :gl:`#2623`
|
|
|
|
- After upgrading to BIND 9.16.13, 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`
|
|
|
|
- Previously, a memory leak could occur when ``named`` failed to bind a
|
|
UDP socket to a network interface. This has been fixed. :gl:`#2575`
|
|
