Optimize resource usage for :iscman:`named` instances that + accept queries over DNS-over-HTTP(S). + + Previously, :iscman:`named` would process all incoming HTTP/2 data at + once, which could overwhelm the server, especially when dealing with + clients that send requests but don't wait for responses. That has been + fixed. Now, :iscman:`named` handles HTTP/2 data in smaller chunks and + throttles reading until the remote side reads the response data. It + also throttles clients that send too many requests at once. + + Additionally, :iscman:`named` now carefully processes data sent by + some clients, which can be considered "flooding." It logs these + clients and drops connections from them. :gl:`#4795` + + In some cases, :iscman:`named` could leave DNS-over-HTTP(S) + connections in the `CLOSE_WAIT` state indefinitely. That also has been + fixed. ISC would like to thank JF Billaud for thoroughly investigating + the issue and verifying the fix. :gl:`#5083` :gl:`#4795` :gl:`#5083` + +- [CVE-2024-11187] Limit the additional processing for large RDATA sets. + + When answering queries, don't add data to the additional section if + the answer has more than 13 names in the RDATA. This limits the number + of lookups into the database(s) during a single client query, reducing + query processing load. :gl:`#5034` + +New Features +~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +- Add a new option to configure the maximum number of outgoing queries + per client request. + + The configuration option 'max-query-count' sets how many outgoing + queries per client request is allowed. The existing + 'max-recursion-queries' is the number of permissible queries for a + single name and is reset on every CNAME redirection. This new option + is a global limit on the client request. The default is 200. + + This allows us to send a bit more queries while looking up a single + name. The default for 'max-recursion-queries' is changed from 32 to + 50. :gl:`#4980` :gl:`#4921` + +Bug Fixes +~~~~~~~~~ + +- Fix nsupdate hang when processing a large update. + + To mitigate DNS flood attacks over a single TCP connection, we + throttle the connection when the other side does not read the data. + Throttling should only occur on server-side sockets, but erroneously + also happened for nsupdate, which acts as a client. When nsupdate + started throttling the connection, it never attempts to read again. + This has been fixed. :gl:`#4910` + +- Fix possible assertion failure when reloading server while processing + updates. + + :gl:`#5006` + +- Fix dnssec-signzone signing non-DNSKEY RRsets with revoked keys. + + `dnssec-signzone` was using revoked keys for signing RRsets other than + DNSKEY. This has been corrected. :gl:`#5070` + +- Unknown directive in resolv.conf not handled properly. + + The line after an unknown directive in resolv.conf could accidentally + be skipped, potentially affecting dig, host, nslookup, nsupdate, or + delv. This has been fixed. :gl:`#5084` + +
