allow conditionally disabling the building of certain user space
programs in the 'base' set.
There is not enough consensus that this is the right way and a few
people had strong objections, see source-changes-d@.
Changes since 4.4.2-P1 (New Features)
- Two new OMAPI function calls were added, `dhcpctl_timed_connect()`
and `dhcpctl_timed_wait_for_completion()`. These provide timed
versions of creating a connection and waiting for an operation
to complete.
[GitLab #76]
- The BIND libraries have been updated to the latest version, 9.11.36.
This fixes a number of compilation issues on various systems, including
OpenWRT. Thanks to Philip Prindeville for testing on OpenWRT.
[GitLab #218, #171, #180, #192]
- Support was added for the new DHCPv4 option v6-only-preferred, specified
in RFC 8925. A new reason code, V6ONLY, was added to the client script
and the client Linux script sample was updated.
[GitLab #132]
Changes since 4.4.2-P1 (Bug Fixes)
- Minor corrections were made to allow compilation under gcc 10.
[GitLab #117]
- The logic in dhclient that causes it to decline DHCPv4 leases if the
client script exits abnormally (i.e. crashes) has been corrected.
[GitLab #123]
- The limit on the size of a lease file that can be loaded at startup
is now only enforced on 32-bit systems.
[GitLab #92]
- The PRNG initialization has been improved. It now uses the configure flag
`--with-randomdev=PATH`, which specifies the device from which to read the
initial seed. That is typically `/dev/random` (the default value) or
`/dev/urandom`, but may be specified otherwise on the local system. The old
behavior can be forced by disabling this feature (`--with-randomdev=no`).
If the initialization is disabled or reading from the random device fails,
the previous algorithm (retrieve the last four bytes of hardware addresses
from all network interfaces that have them, and use the current time and
process ID) is used.
[GitLab #197]
- A minor dhclient code fix was made to remove compilation warnings.
[GitLab #190]
- The hard-coded MD5 algorithm name was removed in OMAPI connection logic.
Previously, using any other algorithm via a key-algorithm statement would
allow OMAPI connections to be made, but subsequent actions such as updating
an object would fail.
[GitLab #148]
- The parallel build has been improved. Thanks to Sergei Trofimovich for
the patch. The parallel build is still experimental, as officially the
BIND 9 code does not support the parallel build for libraries.
[GitLab #91]
- Handling of LDAP options (`ldap-gssapi-principal` and `ldap-gssapi-keytab`)
has been improved. This is contributed code that has not been tested by ISC.
Thank you to Petr Mensik and Pavel Zhukov for the patches!
[GitLab !56,!75]
- It is now possible to use `option -g ipaddr` in the dhcrelay to replace the
giaddr sent to clients with the given ipaddr, to work around bogus clients
like Solaris 11 grub which use giaddr instead of the announced router (3)
to set up their default route. Thanks to Jens Elkner for the patch!

--- 9.16.20 released ---
5689. [security] An assertion failure occurred when named attempted to
send a UDP packet that exceeded the MTU size, if
Response Rate Limiting (RRL) was enabled.
(CVE-2021-25218) [GL #2856]
5688. [bug] Zones using KASP and inline-signed zones failed to apply
changes from the unsigned zone to the signed zone under
certain circumstances. This has been fixed. [GL #2735]
5687. [bug] "rndc reload <zonename>" could trigger a redundant
reload for an inline-signed zone whose zone file was not
modified since the last "rndc reload". This has been
fixed. [GL #2855]
5686. [func] The number of internal data structures allocated for
each zone was reduced. [GL #2829]
5685. [bug] named failed to check the opcode of responses when
performing zone refreshes, stub zone updates, and UPDATE
forwarding. This has been fixed. [GL #2762]
5682. [bug] Some changes to "zone-statistics" settings were not
properly processed by "rndc reconfig". This has been
fixed. [GL #2820]
5681. [func] Relax the checks in the dns_zone_cdscheck() function to
allow CDS and CDNSKEY records in the zone that do not
match an existing DNSKEY record, as long as the
algorithm matches. This allows a clean rollover from one
provider to another in a multi-signer DNSSEC
configuration. [GL #2710]
5679. [func] Thread affinity is no longer set. [GL #2822]
5678. [bug] The "check DS" code failed to release all resources upon
named shutdown when a refresh was in progress. This has
been fixed. [GL #2811]
5672. [bug] Authentication of rndc messages could fail if a
"controls" statement was configured with multiple key
algorithms for the same listener. This has been fixed.
[GL #2756]
--- 9.16.19 released ---
5671. [bug] A race condition could occur where two threads were
competing for the same set of key file locks, leading to
a deadlock. This has been fixed. [GL #2786]
5670. [bug] create_keydata() created an invalid placeholder keydata
record upon a refresh failure, which prevented the
database of managed keys from subsequently being read
back. This has been fixed. [GL #2686]
5669. [func] KASP support was extended with the "check DS" feature.
Zones with "dnssec-policy" and "parental-agents"
configured now check for DS presence and can perform
automatic KSK rollovers. [GL #1126]
5668. [bug] Rescheduling a setnsec3param() task when a zone failed
to load on startup caused a hang on shutdown. This has
been fixed. [GL #2791]
5667. [bug] The configuration-checking code failed to account for
the inheritance rules of the "dnssec-policy" option.
This has been fixed. [GL #2780]
5666. [doc] The safe "edns-udp-size" value was tweaked to match the
probing value from BIND 9.16 for better compatibility.
[GL #2183]
5665. [bug] If nsupdate sends an SOA request and receives a REFUSED
response, it now fails over to the next available
server. [GL #2758]
5664. [func] For UDP messages larger than the path MTU, named now
sends an empty response with the TC (TrunCated) bit set.
In addition, setting the DF (Don't Fragment) flag on
outgoing UDP sockets was re-enabled. [GL #2790]
5662. [bug] Views with recursion disabled are now configured with a
default cache size of 2 MB unless "max-cache-size" is
explicitly set. This prevents cache RBT hash tables from
being needlessly preallocated for such views. [GL #2777]
5661. [bug] Change 5644 inadvertently introduced a deadlock: when
locking the key file mutex for each zone structure in a
different view, the "in-view" logic was not considered.
This has been fixed. [GL #2783]
5658. [bug] Increasing "max-cache-size" for a running named instance
(using "rndc reconfig") did not cause the hash tables
used by cache databases to be grown accordingly. This
has been fixed. [GL #2770]
5655. [bug] Signed, insecure delegation responses prepared by named
either lacked the necessary NSEC records or contained
duplicate NSEC records when both wildcard expansion and
CNAME chaining were required to prepare the response.
This has been fixed. [GL #2759]
5653. [bug] A bug that caused the NSEC3 salt to be changed on every
restart for zones using KASP has been fixed. [GL #2725]
--- 9.16.18 released ---
5660. [bug] The configuration-checking code failed to account for
the inheritance rules of the "key-directory" option.
[GL #2778]
5659. [bug] When preparing DNS responses, named could replace the
letters 'W' (uppercase) and 'w' (lowercase) with '\000'.
This has been fixed. [GL #2779]
--- 9.16.17 released ---
5652. [bug] A copy-and-paste error in change 5584 caused the
IP_DONTFRAG socket option to be enabled instead of
disabled. This has been fixed. [GL #2746]
5651. [func] Refactor zone dumping to be processed asynchronously via
the uv_work_t thread pool API. [GL #2732]
5650. [bug] Prevent a crash that could occur if serve-stale was
enabled and a prefetch was triggered during a query
restart. [GL #2733]
5649. [bug] If a query was answered with stale data on a server with
DNS64 enabled, an assertion could occur if a non-stale
answer arrived afterward. [GL #2731]
5648. [bug] The calculation of the estimated IXFR transaction size
in dns_journal_iter_init() was invalid. [GL #2685]
5644. [bug] Fix a race condition in reading and writing key files
for zones using KASP and configured in multiple views.
[GL #1875]
5643. [cleanup] "make install" no longer creates an empty
${localstatedir}/run directory. [GL #2709]
5642. [bug] Zones which are configured in multiple views with
different values set for "dnssec-policy" and with
identical values set for "key-directory" are now
detected and treated as a configuration error.
[GL #2463]
5641. [bug] Address a potential memory leak in
dst_key_fromnamedfile(). [GL #2689]
5639. [bug] Check that the first and last SOA record of an AXFR are
consistent. [GL #2528]
5638. [bug] Improvements related to network manager/task manager
integration:
- isc_managers_create() and isc_managers_destroy()
functions were added to handle setup and teardown of
netmgr, taskmgr, timermgr, and socketmgr, since these
require a precise order of operations now.
- Event queue processing is now quantized to prevent
infinite looping.
- The netmgr can now be paused from within a netmgr
thread.
- Deadlocks due to a conflict between netmgr's
pause/resume and listen/stoplistening operations were
fixed.
[GL #2654]
5633. [doc] The "inline-signing" option was incorrectly described as
being inherited from the "options"/"view" levels and was
incorrectly accepted at those levels without effect.
This has been fixed. [GL #2536]
5624. [func] Task manager events are now processed inside network
manager loops. The task manager no longer needs its own
set of worker threads, which improves resolver
performance. [GL #2638]
--- 9.16.16 released ---
5637. [func] Change the default value of the "max-ixfr-ratio" option
to "unlimited". [GL #2671]
5636. [bug] named and named-checkconf did not report an error when
multiple zones with the "dnssec-policy" option set were
using the same zone file. This has been fixed.
[GL #2603]
5635. [bug] Journal compaction could fail when a journal with
invalid transaction headers was not detected at startup.
This has been fixed. [GL #2670]
5634. [bug] If "dnssec-policy" was active and a private key file was
temporarily offline during a rekey event, named could
incorrectly introduce replacement keys and break a
signed zone. This has been fixed. [GL #2596]
5633. [doc] The "inline-signing" option was incorrectly described as
being inherited from the "options"/"view" levels and was
incorrectly accepted at those levels without effect.
This has been fixed. [GL #2536]
5632. [func] Add a new built-in KASP, "insecure", which is used to
transition a zone from a signed to an unsigned state.
The existing built-in KASP "none" should no longer be
used to unsign a zone. [GL #2645]
5631. [protocol] Update the implementation of the ZONEMD RR type to match
RFC 8976. [GL #2658]
5630. [func] Treat DNSSEC responses containing NSEC3 records with
iteration counts greater than 150 as insecure.
[GL #2445]
5629. [func] Reduce the maximum supported number of NSEC3 iterations
that can be configured for a zone to 150. [GL #2642]
5627. [bug] RRSIG(SOA) RRsets placed anywhere other than at the zone
apex were triggering infinite resigning loops. This has
been fixed. [GL #2650]
5626. [bug] When generating zone signing keys, KASP now also checks
for key ID conflicts among newly created keys, rather
than just between new and existing ones. [GL #2628]
5625. [bug] A deadlock could occur when multiple "rndc addzone",
"rndc delzone", and/or "rndc modzone" commands were
invoked simultaneously for different zones. This has
been fixed. [GL #2626]
5622. [cleanup] The lib/samples/ directory has been removed, as export
versions of libraries are no longer maintained.
[GL !4835]
5619. [protocol] Implement draft-vandijk-dnsop-nsec-ttl, updating the
protocol such that NSEC(3) TTL values are set to the
minimum of the SOA MINIMUM value or the SOA TTL.
[GL #2347]
5618. [bug] Change 5149 introduced some inconsistencies in the way
record TTLs were presented in cache dumps. These
inconsistencies have been eliminated. [GL #389]
[GL #2289]
! Corrected a buffer overwrite possible when parsing hexadecimal
literals with more than 1024 octets. Reported by Jon Franklin from Dell,
and also by Pawel Wieczorkiewicz from Amazon Web Services.
[Gitlab #182]
CVE: CVE-2021-25217
Changes since bind-9.16.12:
--- 9.16.15 released ---
5621. [bug] Due to a backporting mistake in change 5609, named
binaries built against a Kerberos/GSSAPI library whose
header files did not define the GSS_SPNEGO_MECHANISM
preprocessor macro were not able to start if their
configuration included the "tkey-gssapi-credential"
option. This has been fixed. [GL #2634]
5620. [bug] If zone journal files written by BIND 9.16.11 or earlier
were present when BIND was upgraded, 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.
This has been fixed. [GL #2623]
--- 9.16.14 released ---
5617. [security] A specially crafted GSS-TSIG query could cause a buffer
overflow in the ISC implementation of SPNEGO.
(CVE-2021-25216) [GL #2604]
5616. [security] 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) [GL #2540]
5615. [security] Insufficient IXFR checks could result in named serving a
zone without an SOA record at the apex, leading to a
RUNTIME_CHECK assertion failure when the zone was
subsequently refreshed. This has been fixed by adding an
owner name check for all SOA records which are included
in a zone transfer. (CVE-2021-25214) [GL #2467]
5614. [bug] Ensure all resources are properly cleaned up when a call
to gss_accept_sec_context() fails. [GL #2620]
5613. [bug] It was possible to write an invalid transaction header
in the journal file for a managed-keys database after
upgrading. This has been fixed. Invalid headers in
existing journal files are detected and named is able
to recover from them. [GL #2600]
5611. [func] Set "stale-answer-client-timeout" to "off" by default.
[GL #2608]
5610. [bug] Prevent a crash which could happen when a lookup
triggered by "stale-answer-client-timeout" was attempted
right after recursion for a client query finished.
[GL #2594]
5609. [func] The ISC implementation of SPNEGO was removed from BIND 9
source code. It was no longer necessary as all major
contemporary Kerberos/GSSAPI libraries include support
for SPNEGO. [GL #2607]
5608. [bug] 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]
5607. [bug] As "rndc dnssec -checkds" and "rndc dnssec -rollover"
commands may affect the next scheduled key event,
reconfiguration of zone keys is now triggered after
receiving either of these commands to prevent
unnecessary key rollover delays. [GL #2488]
5606. [bug] 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]
5605. [bug] "dig -u" now uses the CLOCK_REALTIME clock source for
more accurate time reporting. [GL #2592]
5603. [bug] Fix a memory leak that occurred when named failed to
bind a UDP socket to a network interface. [GL #2575]
5602. [bug] Fix TCPDNS and TLSDNS timers in Network Manager. This
makes the "tcp-initial-timeout" and "tcp-idle-timeout"
options work correctly again. [GL #2583]
5601. [bug] Zones using KASP could not be thawed after they were
frozen using "rndc freeze". This has been fixed.
[GL #2523]
--- 9.16.13 released ---
5597. [bug] When serve-stale was enabled and starting the recursive
resolution process for a query failed, a named instance
could crash if it was configured as both a recursive and
authoritative server. This problem was introduced by
change 5573 and has now been fixed. [GL #2565]
5595. [cleanup] Public header files for BIND 9 libraries no longer
directly include third-party library headers. This
prevents the need to include paths to third-party header
files in CFLAGS whenever BIND 9 public header files are
used, which could cause build-time issues on hosts with
older versions of BIND 9 installed. [GL #2357]
5594. [bug] Building with --enable-dnsrps --enable-dnsrps-dl failed.
[GL #2298]
5593. [bug] Journal files written by older versions of named can now
be read when loading zones, so that journal
incompatibility does not cause problems on upgrade.
Outdated journals are updated to the new format after
loading. [GL #2505]
5592. [bug] Prevent hazard pointer table overflows on machines with
many cores, by allowing the thread IDs (serving as
indices into hazard pointer tables) of finished threads
to be reused by those created later. [GL #2396]
5591. [bug] Fix a crash that occurred when
"stale-answer-client-timeout" was triggered without any
(stale) data available in the cache to answer the query.
[GL #2503]
5590. [bug] NSEC3 records were not immediately created for dynamic
zones using NSEC3 with "dnssec-policy", resulting in
such zones going bogus. Add code to process the
NSEC3PARAM queue at zone load time so that NSEC3 records
for such zones are created immediately. [GL #2498]
5588. [func] Add a new "purge-keys" option for "dnssec-policy". This
option determines the period of time for which key files
are retained after they become obsolete. [GL #2408]
5586. [bug] An invalid direction field in a LOC record resulted in
an INSIST failure when a zone file containing such a
record was loaded. [GL #2499]
5584. [bug] No longer set the IP_DONTFRAG option on UDP sockets, to
prevent dropping outgoing packets exceeding
"max-udp-size". [GL #2466]
5582. [bug] BIND 9 failed to build when static OpenSSL libraries
were used and the pkg-config files for libssl and/or
libcrypto were unavailable. This has been fixed by
ensuring that the correct linking order for libssl and
libcrypto is always used. [GL #2402]
5581. [bug] Fix a memory leak that occurred when inline-signed zones
were added to the configuration, followed by a
reconfiguration of named. [GL #2041]
5580. [test] The system test framework no longer differentiates
between SKIPPED and UNTESTED system test results. Any
system test which is not run is now marked as SKIPPED.
[GL !4517]
5573. [func] When serve-stale is enabled and stale data is available,
named now returns stale answers upon encountering any
unexpected error in the query resolution process.
However, the "stale-refresh-time" window is still only
started upon a timeout. [GL #2434]
5564. [cleanup] Network manager's TLSDNS module was refactored to use
libuv and libssl directly instead of a stack of TCP/TLS
sockets. [GL #2335]
mDNSResponder: another wrong return local address
dhcp: ignore a seemingly impossible stringop overflow
