names. (CVE-2023-4408) [GL #4234]

6314. [bug] Address race conditions in dns_tsigkey_find().
[GL #4182]

6312. [bug] Conversion from NSEC3 signed to NSEC signed could
temporarily put the zone into a state where it was
treated as unsigned until the NSEC chain was built.
Additionally conversion from one set of NSEC3 parameters
to another could also temporarily put the zone into a
state where it was treated as unsigned until the new
NSEC3 chain was built. [GL #1794] [GL #4495]

6310. [bug] Memory leak in zone.c:sign_zone. When named signed a
zone it could leak dst_keys due to a misplaced
'continue'. [GL #4488]

6306. [func] Log more details about the cause of "not exact" errors.
[GL #4500]

6304. [bug] The wrong time was being used to determine what RRSIGs
where to be generated when dnssec-policy was in use.
[GL #4494]

6302. [func] The "trust-anchor-telemetry" statement is no longer
marked as experimental. This silences a relevant log
message that was emitted even when the feature was
explicitly disabled. [GL #4497]

6300. [bug] Fix statistics export to use full 64 bit signed numbers
instead of truncating values to unsigned 32 bits.
[GL #4467]

6299. [port] NetBSD has added 'hmac' to libc which collides with our
use of 'hmac'. [GL #4478]

--- 9.18.21 released ---

6297. [bug] Improve LRU cleaning behaviour. [GL #4448]

6296. [func] The "resolver-nonbackoff-tries" and
"resolver-retry-interval" options are deprecated;
a warning will be logged if they are used. [GL #4405]

6294. [bug] BIND might sometimes crash after startup or
re-configuration when one 'tls' entry is used multiple
times to connect to remote servers due to initialisation
attempts from contexts of multiple threads. That has
been fixed. [GL #4464]

6290. [bug] Dig +yaml will now report "no servers could be reached"
also for UDP setup failure when no other servers or
tries are left. [GL #1229]

6287. [bug] Recognize escapes when reading the public key from file.
[GL !8502]

6277. [bug] Take into account local authoritative zones when
falling back to serve-stale. [GL #4355]

6275. [bug] Fix assertion failure when using lock-file configuration
option together -X argument to named. [GL #4386]

6274. [bug] The 'lock-file' file was being removed when it
shouldn't have been making it ineffective if named was
started 3 or more times. [GL #4387]

6271. [bug] Fix a shutdown race in dns__catz_update_cb(). [GL #4381]

6269. [maint] B.ROOT-SERVERS.NET addresses are now 170.247.170.2 and
2801:1b8:10::b. [GL #4101]

6267. [func] The timeouts for resending zone refresh queries over UDP
were lowered to enable named to more quickly determine
that a primary is down. [GL #4260]

6265. [bug] Don't schedule resign operations on the raw version
of an inline-signing zone. [GL #4350]

6261. [bug] Fix a possible assertion failure on an error path in
resolver.c:fctx_query(), when using an uninitialized
link. [GL #4331]

6254. [cleanup] Add semantic patch to do an explicit cast from char
to unsigned char in ctype.h class of functions.
[GL #4327]

6252. [test] Python system tests have to be executed by invoking
pytest directly. Executing them with the legacy test
runner is no longer supported. [GL #4250]

6250. [bug] The wrong covered value was being set by
dns_ncache_current for RRSIG records in the returned
rdataset structure. This resulted in TYPE0 being
reported as the covered value of the RRSIG when dumping
the cache contents. [GL #4314]

--- 9.18.19 released ---

6246. [security] Fix use-after-free error in TLS DNS code when sending
data. (CVE-2023-4236) [GL #4242]

6245. [security] Limit the amount of recursion that can be performed
by isccc_cc_fromwire. (CVE-2023-3341) [GL #4152]

6244. [bug] Adjust log levels on malformed messages to NOTICE when
transferring in a zone. [GL #4290]

6241. [bug] Take into account the possibility of partial TLS writes
in TLS DNS code. That helps to prevent DNS messages
corruption on long DNS over TLS streams. [GL #4255]

6240. [bug] Use dedicated per-worker thread jemalloc memory
arenas for send buffers allocation to reduce memory
consumption and avoid lock contention. [GL #4038]

6239. [func] Deprecate the 'dnssec-must-be-secure' option.
[GL #3700]

6237. [bug] Address memory leaks due to not clearing OpenSSL error
stack. [GL #4159]

is specified. [GL #1181]

6230. [bug] Prevent an unnecessary query restart if a synthesized
CNAME target points to the CNAME owner. [GL #3835]

6227. [bug] Check the statistics-channel HTTP Content-length
to prevent negative or overflowing values from
causing a crash. [GL #4125]

the netmgr has been paused. [GL #4200]

--- 9.18.17 released ---

6206. [bug] Add shutdown checks in dns_catz_dbupdate_callback() to
avoid a race with dns_catz_shutdown_catzs(). [GL #4171]

6205. [bug] Restore support to read legacy HMAC-MD5 K file pairs.
[GL #4154]

6204. [bug] Use NS records for relaxed QNAME-minimization mode.
This reduces the number of queries named makes when
resolving, as it allows the non-existence of NS RRsets
at non-referral nodes to be cached in addition to the
referrals that are normally cached. [GL #3325]

6200. [bug] Fix nslookup erroneously reporting a timeout when the
input is delayed. [GL #4044]

6199. [bug] Improve HTTP Connection: header protocol conformance
in the statistics channel. [GL #4126]

6198. [func] Remove the holes in the isc_result_t enum to compact
the isc_result tables. [GL #4149]

6197. [bug] Fix a data race between the dns_zone and dns_catz
modules when registering/unregistering a database
update notification callback for a catalog zone.
[GL #4132]

6196. [cleanup] Report "permission denied" instead of "unexpected error"
when trying to update a zone file on a read-only file
system. Thanks to Midnight Veil. [GL #4134]

6193. [bug] Fix a catz db update notification callback registration
logic error, which could crash named when receiving an
AXFR update for a catalog zone while the previous update
process of the catalog zone was already running.
[GL #4136]

6166. [func] Retry without DNS COOKIE on FORMERR if it appears that
the FORMERR was due to the presence of a DNS COOKIE
option. [GL #4049]

for the "exists" SPF mechanism specified in RFC 7208
section 5.7 and appendix D.1. [GL #2377]

5577. [bug] Fix the "three is a crowd" key rollover bug in KASP by
correctly implementing Equation (2) of the "Flexible and
Robust Key Rollover" paper. [GL #2375]

5575. [bug] When migrating to KASP, BIND 9 considered keys with the
"Inactive" and/or "Delete" timing metadata to be
possible active keys. This has been fixed. [GL #2406]

5572. [bug] Address potential double free in generatexml().
[GL #2420]

5571. [bug] named failed to start when its configuration included a
zone with a non-builtin "allow-update" ACL attached.
[GL #2413]

5570. [bug] Improve performance of the DNSSEC verification code by
reducing the number of repeated calls to
dns_dnssec_keyfromrdata(). [GL #2073]

5568. [bug] Fixed a crash in "dnssec-keyfromlabel" when using ECDSA
keys. [GL #2178]

5567. [bug] Dig now reports unknown dash options while pre-parsing
the options. This prevents "-multi" instead of "+multi"
from reporting memory usage before ending option parsing
with "Invalid option: -lti". [GL #2403]

5566. [func] Add "stale-answer-client-timeout" option, which is the
amount of time a recursive resolver waits before
attempting to answer the query using stale data from
cache. [GL #2247]

5565. [func] The SONAMEs for BIND 9 libraries now include the current
BIND 9 version number, in an effort to tightly couple
internal libraries with a specific release. [GL #2387]

5562. [security] Fix off-by-one bug in ISC SPNEGO implementation.
(CVE-2020-8625) [GL #2354]

5561. [bug] KASP incorrectly set signature validity to the value of
the DNSKEY signature validity. This is now fixed.
[GL #2383]

5560. [func] The default value of "max-stale-ttl" has been changed
from 12 hours to 1 day and the default value of
"stale-answer-ttl" has been changed from 1 second to 30
seconds, following RFC 8767 recommendations. [GL #2248]

5456. [func] Added "primaries" as a synonym for "masters" in
named.conf, and "primary-only" as a synonym for
"master-only" in the parameters to "notify", to bring
terminology up-to-date with RFC 8499. [GL #1948]

5362. [func] Limit the size of IXFR responses so that AXFR will
be used instead if it would be smaller. This is
controlled by the "max-ixfr-ratio" option, which
is a percentage representing the ratio of IXFR size
to the size of the entire zone. This value cannot
exceed 100%, which is the default. [GL #1515]

--- 9.16.11 released ---

5559. [bug] The --with-maxminddb=PATH form of the build-time option
enabling support for libmaxminddb was not working
correctly. This has been fixed. [GL #2366]

5557. [bug] Prevent RBTDB instances from being destroyed by multiple
threads at the same time. [GL #2317]

5556. [bug] Further tweak newline printing in dnssec-signzone and
dnssec-verify. [GL #2359]

5555. [bug] server->reload_status was not properly initialized.
[GL #2361]

5554. [bug] dnssec-signzone and dnssec-verify were missing newlines
between log messages. [GL #2359]

5553. [bug] When reconfiguring named, removing "auto-dnssec" did not
turn off DNSSEC maintenance. [GL #2341]

5552. [func] When switching to "dnssec-policy none;", named now
permits a safe transition to insecure mode and publishes
the CDS and CDNSKEY DELETE records, as described in RFC
8078. [GL #1750]

5551. [bug] named no longer attempts to assign threads to CPUs
outside the CPU affinity set. Thanks to Ole Bjørn
Hessen. [GL #2245]

5550. [func] dnssec-signzone and named now log a warning when falling
back to the "increment" SOA serial method. [GL #2058]

5545. [func] OS support for load-balanced sockets is no longer
required to receive incoming queries in multiple netmgr
threads. [GL #2137]

5543. [bug] Fix UDP performance issues caused by making netmgr
callbacks asynchronous-only. [GL #2320]

5542. [bug] Refactor netmgr. [GL #1920] [GL #2034] [GL #2061]

5544. [func] Restore the default value of "nocookie-udp-size" to 4096
bytes. [GL #2250]

5541. [func] Adjust the "max-recursion-queries" default from 75 to
100. [GL #2305]

5540. [port] Fix building with native PKCS#11 support for AEP Keyper.
[GL #2315]

5539. [bug] Tighten handling of missing DNS COOKIE responses over
UDP by falling back to TCP. [GL #2275]

5538. [func] Add NSEC3 support to KASP. A new option for
"dnssec-policy", "nsec3param", can be used to set the
desired NSEC3 parameters. NSEC3 salt collisions are
automatically prevented during resalting. Salt
generation is now logged with zone context. [GL #1620]

5534. [bug] The CNAME synthesized from a DNAME was incorrectly
followed when the QTYPE was CNAME or ANY. [GL #2280]

--- 9.16.9 released ---

5533. [func] Add the "stale-refresh-time" option, a time window that
starts after a failed lookup, during which a stale RRset
is served directly from cache before a new attempt to
refresh it is made. [GL #2066]

5530. [bug] dnstap did not capture responses to forwarded UPDATE
requests. [GL #2252]

5527. [bug] A NULL pointer dereference occurred when creating an NTA
recheck query failed. [GL #2244]

5525. [bug] Change 5503 inadvertently broke cross-compilation by
replacing a call to AC_LINK_IFELSE() with a call to
AC_RUN_IFELSE() in configure.ac. This has been fixed,
making cross-compilation possible again. [GL #2237]

5523. [bug] The initial lookup in a zone transitioning to/from a
signed state could fail if the DNSKEY RRset was not
found. [GL #2236]

5522. [bug] Fixed a race/NULL dereference in TCPDNS send. [GL #2227]

5520. [bug] Fixed a number of shutdown races, reference counting
errors, and spurious log messages that could occur
in the network manager. [GL #2221]

5518. [bug] Stub zones now work correctly with primary servers using
"minimal-responses yes". [GL #1736]

5517. [bug] Do not treat UV_EOF as a TCP4RecvErr or a TCP6RecvErr.
[GL #2208]

--- 9.16.8 released ---

5516. [func] The default EDNS buffer size has been changed from 4096
to 1232 bytes. [GL #2183]

5515. [func] Add 'rndc dnssec -rollover' command to trigger a manual
rollover for a specific key. [GL #1749]

5514. [bug] Fix KASP expected key size for Ed25519 and Ed448.
[GL #2171]

5513. [doc] The ARM section describing the "rrset-order" statement
was rewritten to make it unambiguous and up-to-date with
the source code. [GL #2139]

5512. [bug] "rrset-order" rules using "order none" were causing
named to crash despite named-checkconf treating them as
valid. [GL #2139]

5511. [bug] 'dig -u +yaml' failed to display timestamps to the
microsecond. [GL #2190]

5510. [bug] Implement the attach/detach semantics for dns_message_t
to fix a data race in accessing an already-destroyed
fctx->rmessage. [GL #2124]

5509. [bug] filter-aaaa: named crashed upon shutdown if it was in
the process of recursing for A RRsets. [GL #1040]

5508. [func] Added new parameter "-expired" for "rndc dumpdb" that
also prints expired RRsets (awaiting cleanup) to the
dump file. [GL #1870]

5507. [bug] Named could compute incorrect SIG(0) responses.
[GL #2109]

5506. [bug] Properly handle failed sysconf() calls, so we don't
report invalid memory size. [GL #2166]

5505. [bug] Updating contents of a mixed-case RPZ could cause some
rules to be ignored. [GL #2169]

5503. [bug] Cleaned up reference counting of network manager
handles, now using isc_nmhandle_attach() and _detach()
instead of _ref() and _unref(). [GL #2122]

object holds a reference to its task. [GL #2081]

5495. [bug] With query minimization enabled, named failed to
resolve ip6.arpa. names that had extra labels to the
left of the IPv6 part. [GL #1847]

as a value. Fix handling of negative altitudes which are
not whole meters. [GL #2074]

5491. [bug] rbtversion->glue_table_size could be read without the
appropriate lock being held. [GL #2080]

5489. [bug] Named erroneously accepted certain invalid resource
records that were incorrectly processed after
subsequently being written to disk and loaded back, as
the wire format differed. Such records include: CERT,
IPSECKEY, NSEC3, NSEC3PARAM, NXT, SIG, TLSA, WKS, and
X25. [GL !3953]

5488. [bug] NTA code needed to have a weak reference on its
associated view to prevent the latter from being deleted
while NTA tests were being performed. [GL #2067]

5486. [func] Add 'rndc dnssec -checkds' command, which signals to
named that the DS record for a given zone or key has
been updated in the parent zone. [GL #1613]

--- 9.16.6 released ---

5484. [func] Expire zero TTL records quickly rather than using them
for stale answers. [GL #1829]

5483. [func] A new configuration option "stale-cache-enable" has been
introduced to enable or disable keeping stale answers in
cache. [GL #1712]

5482. [bug] If the Duplicate Address Detection (DAD) mechanism had
not yet finished after adding a new IPv6 address to the
system, BIND 9 would fail to bind to IPv6 addresses in a
tentative state. [GL #2038]

5481. [security] "update-policy" rules of type "subdomain" were
incorrectly treated as "zonesub" rules, which allowed
keys used in "subdomain" rules to update names outside
of the specified subdomains. The problem was fixed by
making sure "subdomain" rules are again processed as
described in the ARM. (CVE-2020-8624) [GL #2055]

5480. [security] When BIND 9 was compiled with native PKCS#11 support, it
was possible to trigger an assertion failure in code
determining the number of bits in the PKCS#11 RSA public
key with a specially crafted packet. (CVE-2020-8623)
[GL #2037]

5479. [security] named could crash in certain query resolution scenarios
where QNAME minimization and forwarding were both
enabled. (CVE-2020-8621) [GL #1997]

5478. [security] It was possible to trigger an assertion failure by
sending a specially crafted large TCP DNS message.
(CVE-2020-8620) [GL #1996]

5477. [bug] The idle timeout for connected TCP sockets, which was
previously set to a high fixed value, is now derived
from the client query processing timeout configured for
a resolver. [GL #2024]

5476. [security] It was possible to trigger an assertion failure when
verifying the response to a TSIG-signed request.
(CVE-2020-8622) [GL #2028]

5475. [bug] Wildcard RPZ passthru rules could incorrectly be
overridden by other rules that were loaded from RPZ
zones which appeared later in the "response-policy"
statement. This has been fixed. [GL #1619]

5474. [bug] dns_rdata_hip_next() failed to return ISC_R_NOMORE
when it should have. [GL !3880]

5473. [func] The RBT hash table implementation has been changed
to use a faster hash function (HalfSipHash2-4) and
Fibonacci hashing for better distribution. Setting
"max-cache-size" now preallocates a fixed-size hash
table so that rehashing does not cause resolution
brownouts while the hash table is grown. [GL #1775]

5471. [bug] The introduction of KASP support inadvertently caused
the second field of "sig-validity-interval" to always be
calculated in hours, even in cases when it should have
been calculated in days. This has been fixed. (Thanks to
Tony Finch.) [GL !3735]

5469. [port] On illumos, a constant called SEC is already defined in
<sys/time.h>, which conflicts with an identically named
constant in libbind9. This conflict has been resolved.
[GL #1993]

5468. [bug] Addressed potential double unlock in process_fd().
[GL #2005]

5466. [bug] Addressed an error in recursive clients stats reporting.
[GL #1719]

or trusted-keys if the bindkeys-file (bind.keys) cannot
be parsed. [GL #1235]

5464. [bug] Requesting more than 128 files to be saved when rolling
dnstap log files caused a buffer overflow. This has been
fixed. [GL #1989]

5462. [bug] Move LMDB locking from LMDB itself to named. [GL #1976]

5461. [bug] The STALE rdataset header attribute was updated while
the write lock was not being held, leading to incorrect
statistics. The header attributes are now converted to
use atomic operations. [GL #1475]
