BIND 9.20.16
------------
Feature Changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Fix assertion failure from arc4random_uniform with invalid limit.
``1040282de7e``
When the arc4random_uniform() is called on NetBSD with upper_bound
that makes no sense statistically (0 or 1), the call crashes the
calling program. Fix this by returning 0 when upper bound is < 2 as
does Linux, FreeBSD and NetBSD. (Hint: System CSPRNG should never
crash.) :gl:`#5596` :gl:`!11151`
Bug Fixes
~~~~~~~~~
- Fix dnssec-keygen key collision checking for KEY rrtype keys.
``ac8b23b80bf``
The :iscman:`dnssec-keygen` utility program failed to detect possible
Key ID collisions with the existing keys generated using the
non-default ``-T KEY`` option (e.g. for ``SIG(0)``). This has been
fixed. :gl:`#5506` :gl:`!11128`
- Fix shutdown INSIST in dns_dispatchmgr_getblackhole. ``f0aaaef166c``
Previously, `named` could trigger an assertion in
`dns_dispatchmgr_getblackhole` while shutting down. This has been
fixed. :gl:`#5525` :gl:`!11162`
- Dnssec-verify now uses exit code 1 when failing due to illegal
options. ``6ead0aa4a2b``
Previously, dnssec-verify exited with code 0 if the options could not
be parsed. This has been fixed. :gl:`#5574` :gl:`!11129`
- Prevent assertion failures of dig when server is specified before the
-b option. ``deada63e2b2``
Previously, :iscman:`dig` could exit with an assertion failure when
the server was specified before the :option:`dig -b` option. This has
been fixed. :gl:`#5609` :gl:`!11204`
- Skip unsupported algorithms when looking for signing key.
``c346fe88a1b``
A mix of supported and unsupported DNSSEC algorithms in the same zone
could have caused validation failures. Ignore the DNSSEC keys with
unsupported algorithm when looking for the signing keys. :gl:`#5622`
:gl:`!11210`
- Fix configuration bugs involving global defaults. ``a85d6fb581c``
The configuration code for the `max-cache-size`, `dnssec-validation`,
and `response-padding` options were unnecessarily complicated, and in
the case of `max-cache-size`, buggy. These have been fixed. The
`optionmaps` variable in `configure_view()` is no longer needed and
has been removed. :gl:`!11172`
- Skip buffer allocations if not logging. ``4f601175bd0``
Currently, during IXFR we allocate a 2KB buffer for IXFR change
logging regardless of the log level. This commit introduces an early
check on the log level in dns_diff_print to avoid this.
Results in a speedup from 28% in the test case from issue #5442.
:gl:`!11192`

ignored when looking for signing keys. :gl:`#5622`

keys.

- Prevent assertion failures of :iscman:`dig` when a server is specified
before the ``-b`` option.
Previously, :iscman:`dig` could exit with an assertion failure when
a server was specified before the :option:`dig -b` option. This has
been fixed. :gl:`#5609`
- Skip buffer allocations if not logging.
Previously, we allocated a 2KB buffer for IXFR change logging,
regardless of the log level.
This results in a 28% speedup in some scenarios.
