Malformed BRID and HHIT records could trigger an assertion failure. This has been fixed.
ISC would like to thank Vlatko Kosturjak from Marlink Cyber for bringing
this vulnerability to our attention.

The `assert_in_range()` function was deprecated in favor of
`assert_int_in_range()` and `assert_uint_in_range()`. Add compatibility

The configuration options `edns-version`, `edns-udp-size`,
`max-udp-size`, `no-cookie-udp-size` and `padding` now enforce
boundaries. The configuration (including when using `named-checkconf`)
now fails if those options are set out of range.

Update documentation, removing the mention of statements being
implicitely "fixed" if they are defined out of range (for
`edns-version`, `edns-udp-size`, `max-udp-size`, `no-cookie-udp-size`
and `padding`) as the ranges are now enforced.
Now that the configuration options `edns-version`, `edns-udp-size`,
`max-udp-size`, `no-cookie-udp-size` and `padding` have strict boundaries
(configuration failing if they are not respected), remove configuration
loading code which implicitely raises or lowers them.

Create a signed zone file that contains malformed ZSKs with colliding
key tags. The ZSKs don't represent valid ECDSA keys and will cause a
crypto failure when attempting to use them. Sign the zone with KSK, with
the exception of one record which is "signed" with the invalid ZSKs.
Check that the resolver aborts the DNSSEC verification after
encountering the first crypto failure, indicating malformed DNSKEY.

Ensure that named can handle a situation where the zone is signed with a
truncated, self-signed revoked DNSKEY. The signatures are inevitably
bogus and a SERVFAIL is expected. However, prior to CVE-2025-8677 fix,
this could trigger an assertion failure.

In !11179 I mistakenly set the default for `default_aa` for
`AsyncDnsServer()` to `True` and then explicitly set it to True in
cases where all the `ResponseHandlers` said
`yield DnsResponseSend(..., authoritative=True)` as if the default was
`False`.
Also the rest of `AsyncDnsServer` code (namely `_prepare_responses`)
reads like `default_aa` is `False` by default.
This accidentally changed the behavior of servers which don't set the
`default_aa` and where AA is not set from the zone data
(e.g. `dispatch/ans3`).

Revert the wait for log change for the rollover-zsk-prepub test.
Closes#5692
Merge branch '5692-rollover-zsk-prepub-step3-intermittent-test-fail' into 'main'
See merge request isc-projects/bind9!11413
Commit c17ac42608 changed some tests to
wait for "zone_needdump" messages instead of "sending notifies", because
notifies are rate limited and "zone_needdump" happen on every change.
However, inspecting the logs, the "zone_needdump" changes happen more
than once (likely because the re-signing is done in batches):
received control channel command 'sign step3.zsk-prepub.manual'
zone_journal: zone step3.zsk-prepub.manual/IN (signed): enter
zone_needdump: zone step3.zsk-prepub.manual/IN (signed): enter
zone_journal: zone step3.zsk-prepub.manual/IN (signed): enter
zone_needdump: zone step3.zsk-prepub.manual/IN (signed): enter
zone_journal: zone step3.zsk-prepub.manual/IN (signed): enter
zone_needdump: zone step3.zsk-prepub.manual/IN (signed): enter
zone step3.zsk-prepub.manual/IN (signed): sending notifies
This means we are running the rollover step checks too fast in some
test runs.
Revert the wait for log change for the rollover-zsk-prepub test.
Change the notify configuration to be more flexible for other types of generalized DNS notifications.
Also allow for notify-cfg SOA.
Merge branch 'matthijs-notify-cfg' into 'main'
See merge request isc-projects/bind9!11384
Add a type to all dns_zone_(get|set) functions that apply to sending
notifies, so the options can be set and retrieved separately per type.
This affects dns_zone_setnotifydefer, dns_zone_getnotifydefer,
dns_zone_setnotifydelay, dns_zone_getnotifydelay,
dns_zone_setnotifysrc4, and dns_zone_setnotifysrc6.
The functions dns_zone_getnotifysrc4 and dns_zone_getnotifysrc6 are
unused and can be removed.
It was not explicitly clear that ``rndc sign`` replaces signatures of inactive keys and updates signatures that are not so fresh.

A single spoofed DNAME answer can impact many names, and because of the
nature of DNAME, the attacker can use randomized query names to get
unlimited number of tries to spoof the answer. To limit impact, we
should not be accepting DNAME over insecure transport, like UDP without
cookies etc.
In short, the attacker tries to spoof at least one answer that has the
following form:
opcode QUERY
rcode NOERROR
flags QR AA
;QUESTION
trigger$RANDOM.test. IN A
;ANSWER
trigger$RANDOM.test. 3600 IN CNAME trigger$RANDOM.attacker.net.
test. 3600 IN DNAME attacker.net.
;AUTHORITY
;ADDITIONAL
This has been discovered internally.

Before the fixes for CVE-2025-40778, an unsolicited in-bailiwick NS
record was accepted from a (spoofed) answer, enabling a single spoofed A
query/response to redirect traffic for a whole delegation.
In short, the attacker tries to spoof at least one answer that has the
following form:
rcode NOERROR
flags QR AA
;QUESTION
trigger$RANDOM.victim. IN TXT
;ANSWER
trigger$RANDOM.victim. 3600 IN TXT "spoofed answer with extra NS"
;AUTHORITY
victim. 3600 IN NS ns.attacker.

This attack was originally reported as "test case 1".

Before the fixes for CVE-2025-40778, a positive answer was allowed to
overwrite sibling NS RRs. The answer had to be a positive AA=1 answer
with a fake NS along with it. This combination of conditions avoided
the code path with "unrelated <RRTYPE>" detection logic.
If it were some other answer, named from the main branch would detect
the attempt and log:
DNS format error from 10.53.0.1#16386 resolving trigger/A for <unknown>: unrelated NS victim in trigger authority section

Add bin/tests/system/ans.py, a bare-bones DNS server that can be used in
system tests instead of full-blown named instances when a server is only
required to return zone-based data. Where applicable, this reduces load
on the test host and the amount of generated logs.
