Notes for BIND 9.19.18
----------------------
Security Fixes

New Features
~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Add support for User Statically Defined Tracing (USDT) probes - static tracing
points for user-level software. This allows a fine-grained application
tracing with zero-overhead when the probes are not enabled. :gl:`#4041`
- None.
Removed Features
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- The :any:`dnssec-must-be-secure` option has been deprecated and will be
removed in a future release. :gl:`#4263`
- None.
Feature Changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Make :iscman:`nsupdate` honor the ``-v`` option for SOA queries, that is send
the request over TCP, only if the server is specified. :gl:`#1181`
- Extend client side support for the EDNS EXPIRE option to IXFR and
AXFR query types. ``named`` will now be making EDNS queries AXFR
and IXFR queries with EDNS options present. :gl:`#4170`
- Compiling with jemalloc versions older than 4.0.0 is no longer supported;
those versions do not provide the features required by current BIND 9
releases. :gl:`#4296`
- None.
Bug Fixes
~~~~~~~~~
- The value of If-Modified-Since header in statistics channel was not checked
for length leading to possible buffer overflow by an authorized user. We
would like to emphasize that statistics channel must be properly setup to
allow access only from authorized users of the system. :gl:`#4124`
This issue was reported independently by Eric Sesterhenn of X41 D-SEC and
Cameron Whitehead.
- The value of Content-Length header in statistics channel was not
bound checked and negative or large enough value could lead to
overflow and assertion failure. :gl:`#4125`
This issue was reported by Eric Sesterhenn of X41 D-SEC.
- Address memory leaks due to not clearing OpenSSL error stack. :gl:`#4159`
This issue was reported by Eric Sesterhenn of X41 D-SEC.
- Following the introduction of krb5-subdomain-self-rhs and
ms-subdomain-self-rhs update rules, removal of nonexistent PTR
and SRV records via UPDATE could fail. This has been fixed. :gl:`#4280`
- The value of :any:`stale-refresh-time` was set to zero after ``rndc flush``.
This has been fixed. :gl:`#4278`
- BIND could consume more memory than it needs. That has been fixed by
using specialised jemalloc memory arenas dedicated to sending buffers. It
allowed us to optimize the process of returning memory pages back to
the operating system. :gl:`#4038`
- None.
