BIND 9.20.20
------------
Feature Changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Record query time for all dnstap responses. ``f4fdcee03f1``
Not all DNS responses had the query time set in their corresponding
dnstap messages. This has been fixed. :gl:`#3695` :gl:`!11534`
- Implement Fisher-Yates shuffle for nameserver selection.
``dd453590a0e``
Replace the two-pass "random start index and wrap around" logic in
fctx_getaddresses_nameservers() with a statistically sound partial
Fisher-Yates shuffle.
The previous implementation picked a random starting node and did two
passes over the linked list to find query candidates. The new logic
introduces fctx_getaddresses_nsorder() to perform an in-place
randomization of indices into a bounded, stack-allocated lookup array
(nsorder) representing the "winning" fetch slots.
The nameserver dataset is now traversed in exactly one sequential
pass: 1. Every nameserver is evaluated for local cached data. 2. If
the current nameserver's sequential index exists in the randomized
nsorder array, it is permitted to launch an outgoing network fetch. 3.
If not, it is restricted to local lookups via DNS_ADBFIND_NOFETCH.
This guarantees a fair random distribution for outbound queries while
maximizing local cache hits, entirely within O(1) memory and without
the overhead of linked-list pointer shuffling or dynamic allocation.
:gl:`#5695` :gl:`!11606`
- Invalid NSEC3 can cause OOB read of the isdelegation() stack.
``e6f234169e2``
When .next_length is longer than NSEC3_MAX_HASH_LENGTH, it causes a
harmless out-of-bound read of the isdelegation() stack. This has been
fixed. :gl:`#5749` :gl:`!11594`
- Optimize the TCP source port selection on Linux. ``d4426f85b36``
Enable a socket option on the outgoing TCP sockets to allow faster
selection of the source <address,port> tuple for different destination
<address,port> tuples when nearing over 70-80% of the source port
utilization. :gl:`!11573`
Bug Fixes
~~~~~~~~~
- Fix errors when retrying over TCP in notify_send_toaddr.
``a1232333196``
If the source address is not available do not attempt to retry over
TCP otherwise clear the TSIG key from the message prior to retrying.
:gl:`#5457` :gl:`!11567`
- Fetch loop detection improvements. ``892c3e78926``
Fixes a case where an in-domain NS with an expired glue would fail to
resolve.
Let's consider the following parent-side delegation (both for
`foo.example.` and `dnshost.example.`
``` foo.example. 3600 NS ns.dnshost.example.
dnshost.example. 3600 NS ns.dnshost.example.
ns.dnshost.example. 3600 A 1.2.3.4 ``` Then the
child-side of `dnshost.example.`:
``` dnshost.example. 300 NS ns.dnshost.example.
ns.dnshost.example. 300 A 1.2.3.4 ``` And then the
child-side of `foo.example.`:
``` foo.example 3600 NS ns.dnshost.example.
a.foo.example 300 A 5.6.7.8 ```
While there is a zone misconfiguration (the TTL of the delegation and
glue doesn't match in the parent and the child), it is possible to
resolve `a.foo.example` on a cold-cache resolver. However, after the
`ns.dnshost.example.` glue expires, the resolution would have failed
with a "fetch loop detected" error. This is now fixed. :gl:`#5588`
:gl:`!11547`
- Remove deterministic selection of nameserver. ``c6c6e490fd8``
When selecting nameserver addresses to be looked up we where always
selecting them in dnssec name order from the start of the nameserver
rrset. This could lead to resolution failure despite there being
address that could be resolved for the other names. Use a random
starting point when selecting which names to lookup. :gl:`#5695`
:gl:`#5745` :gl:`!11600`
- DNSTAP wasn't logging forwarded queries correctly. ``0a5922bcf7a``
:gl:`#5724` :gl:`!11555`
- Fix read UAF in BIND9 dns_client_resolve() via DNAME Response.
``c0c4bf526a1``
An attacker controlling a malicious DNS server returns a DNAME record,
and the we stores a pointer to resp->foundname, frees the response
structure, then uses the dangling pointer in dns_name_fullcompare()
possibly causing invalid match. Only the `delv`is affected. This has
been fixed. :gl:`#5728` :gl:`!11571`
- Clear serve-stale flags when following the CNAME chains.
``68fb2312948``
A stale answer could have been served in case of multiple upstream
failures when following the CNAME chains. This has been fixed.
:gl:`#5751` :gl:`!11583`
- Fail DNSKEY validation when supported but invalid DS is found.
``2e1971873a1``
A regression was introduced when adding the EDE code for unsupported
DNSKEY and DS algorithms. When the parent has both supported and
unsupported algorithm in the DS record, the validator would treat the
supported DS algorithm as insecure when validating DNSKEY records
instead of BOGUS. This has not security impact as the rest of the
child zone correctly ends with BOGUS status, but it is incorrect and
thus the regression has been fixed. :gl:`#5757` :gl:`!11590`
- Importing invalid SKR file might corrupt stack memory. ``9869a14ce3a``
If an BIND 9 administrator imports an invalid SKR file, local stack in
the import function might overflow. This could lead to a memory
corruption on the stack and ultimately server crash. This has been
fixed.
ISC would like to thank mcsky23 for bringing this bug to our
attention. :gl:`#5758` :gl:`!11598`
- Do not update the case on unchanged rdatasets. ``8931f82dc8b``
Fix assertion failure on unchanged rdataset during IXFR. :gl:`#5759`
:gl:`!11587`
- Return FORMERR for ECS family 0. ``8ac316bf0f6``
RFC 7871 only defines family 1 (IPv4) and 2 (IPv6). Additionally it
requires FORMERR to be returned for all unknown families. :gl:`!11565`

Notes for BIND 9.20.20
----------------------
Security Fixes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Fix a use-after-free error in ``dns_client_resolve()`` triggered by a
DNAME response.
This issue only affected the :iscman:`delv` tool and it has now been
fixed.
ISC would like to thank Vitaly Simonovich for bringing this
vulnerability to our attention. :gl:`#5728`
Feature Changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Record query time for all dnstap responses.
Not all DNS responses had the query time set in their corresponding
dnstap messages. This has been fixed. :gl:`#3695`
- Optimize TCP source port selection on Linux.
Enable the ``IP_LOCAL_PORT_RANGE`` socket option on the outgoing TCP
sockets to allow faster selection of the source <address,port> tuple
for different destination <address,port> tuples, when nearing over
70-80% of the source port utilization. :gl:`!11569`
Bug Fixes
~~~~~~~~~
- Fix an assertion failure triggered by non-minimal IXFRs.
Processing an IXFR that included an RRset whose contents were not
changed by the transfer triggered an assertion failure. This has been
fixed. :gl:`#5759`
- Fix a crash when retrying a NOTIFY over TCP.
Furthermore, do not attempt to retry over TCP at all if the source
address is not available. :gl:`#5457`
- Fetch loop detection improvements.
Fix a case where an in-domain nameserver with expired glue would fail
to resolve. :gl:`#5588`
- Randomize nameserver selection.
Since BIND 9.20.17, when selecting nameserver addresses to be looked
up, :iscman:`named` selected them in DNSSEC order from the start of
the NS RRset. This could lead to a resolution failure despite there
being an address that could be resolved using the other nameserver
names. :iscman:`named` now randomizes the order in which nameserver
addresses are looked up. :gl:`#5695` :gl:`#5745`
- Fix dnstap logging of forwarded queries. :gl:`#5724`
- A stale answer could have been served in case of multiple upstream
failures when following CNAME chains. This has been fixed. :gl:`#5751`
- Fail DNSKEY validation when supported but invalid DS is found.
A regression was introduced in BIND 9.20.6 when adding the EDE code
for unsupported DNSKEY and DS algorithms. When the parent had both
supported and unsupported algorithms in the DS record, the validator
would treat the supported DS algorithm as insecure instead of bogus
when validating DNSKEY records. This has no security impact, as the
rest of the child zone correctly ends with bogus status, but it is
incorrect and thus the regression has been fixed. :gl:`#5757`
- Importing an invalid SKR file might corrupt stack memory.
If an administrator imported an invalid SKR file, the local stack in
the import function might overflow. This could lead to a memory
corruption on the stack and ultimately a server crash. This has been
fixed. :gl:`#5758`
- Return FORMERR for queries with the EDNS Client Subnet FAMILY field
set to 0.
:rfc:`7871` only defines families 1 (IPv4) and 2 (IPv6), and requires
FORMERR to be returned for all unknown families. Queries with the EDNS
Client Subnet FAMILY field set to 0 now elicit responses with
RCODE=FORMERR. :gl:`!11565`
