On a submit failure, client_send() nullifies sock->h2->connect.cstream
and frees the stream before returning the error. The error: label in
isc__nm_http_request() reloaded that pointer and dereferenced it
unconditionally, reading through a NULL stream. The function is only
used by the DoH unit tests -- production DoH client send goes through
isc__nm_http_send()/client_httpsend(), whose submit failure is reported
via the NULL-safe send callback -- so this is a latent defect in the
test helper rather than a reachable named crash.
Skip the read callback when the stream has already been detached and
let the caller report the failure from the error result it receives.

It was possible to use a maliciously crafted authoritative
zone to make :iscman:`named` resolver synthesize a ``DNAME``
"alias" that should have been rejected by the configured
:any:`deny-answer-aliases` option. This has been fixed.

See merge request isc-projects/bind9!12245
When using a cached DNAME to resolve a name, make sure to consult
the denied answers lists, otherwise it is possible to consutruct
a restricted alias by caching a DNAME that is a parent of the
denied alias. See the comments in the tests case from the previous
commit an example.
(cherry picked from commit 45c1d760a8)
This new check exercises an attack against guarantees given by the
'deny-answer-aliases' configuration option by caching a DNAME
that is a parent of the restricted alias, and then "constructing"
the restricted alias from the cache.

Tests interacting with mock ans servers had to hardcode their IP
addresses and open ans.run directly, while named instances already
had the NamedInstance abstraction with `.ip`, `.log` and the
watch_log_*() helpers. Factor the parts of NamedInstance that are
not named-specific into a ServerInstance base class and add an
AnsInstance subclass for ans servers, exposed through the `servers`

When the connect callback's result is ISC_R_SUCCESS and the callback
changes the result because of some condition, the 'xfr' should not
be detached, because it now belongs to the receive callback.
Detach the reference only if the callback's result is non-success.
(cherry picked from commit fb27599b58)
Configure a zone transfer using XoT (with opportunistic TLS) from
a non-DoT port, which does not provide ALPN "dot" (in this case
it will try to connect to a DoH port). This is expected to fail,
but the client should handle the error gracefully and not to crash.

CONTRIBUTING.md documents the Assisted-by trailer format as
Assisted-by: AGENT_NAME:MODEL_VERSION [TOOL1] [TOOL2]
and excludes basic development tools (git, compilers, meson,
ninja, editors, clang-format, black, ruff) from the optional
tool list.
Walk every `Assisted-by:` line in each commit message and emit a
`warn()` when:
- the line does not match the documented `AGENT:VERSION` shape;
- the optional tool list contains basic-tool names.
The basic-tool list extends the CONTRIBUTING.md examples with
other formatters, generic linters, and build/test runners
commonly invoked from `.gitlab-ci.yml`. Specialized analysis
tools (coccinelle, clang-tidy, AFL, Coverity, cppcheck,
valgrind, sanitizers) are intentionally absent so they remain
allowed in the trailer.
Use `warn()` rather than `fail()` because the format is
human-written and overly strict matching would produce false
positives on edge cases.

(cherry picked from commit 2cac546d08)
CONTRIBUTING.md states that AI agents must not add Signed-off-by
tags, since only humans can legally certify the Developer
Certificate of Origin. Mirror the existing LLM Co-Authored-By
check against the Signed-off-by trailer line so danger fails on
commits that violate the rule.
The shared alternation of known LLM agent names is factored out
into LLM_AGENT_NAMES_RE so adding a new tool only requires one
edit.

(cherry picked from commit 65d082277d)
CONTRIBUTING.md states that AI agents must not be listed as
co-authors and that contributors should use the `Assisted-by:`
trailer instead. Teach `dangerfile.py` to fail merge requests
whose commit messages include a `Co-Authored-By:` trailer naming
a known LLM (Claude, Codex, Mistral, Copilot, Gemini, Cursor,
Devin, Aider, Sourcegraph, CodeWhisperer).
For any other `Co-Authored-By:` trailer, emit an info-level
`message()` that includes the full trailer line so reviewers can
confirm the named co-author is a human contributor and not an
unrecognised AI tool.

switched from hyphens to underscores.
Also declare pytest and pytest-xdist as required dependencies: the

An authoritative server publishing an RSA DNSKEY with an unusually
large modulus or an exotic public exponent could make each DNSSEC
signature check on a validating recursive resolver noticeably more
expensive than for a normally sized key. Such DNSKEYs are now
treated as invalid.

Merge branch 'backport-6008-reject-oversized-rsa-dnskeys-9.20' into 'bind-9.20'
See merge request isc-projects/bind9!12207
A resolver that validated DNSSEC accepted RSA DNSKEYs of any modulus
size up to OpenSSL's compile-time ceiling, and accepted any public
exponent the wire format could carry. RSA verification cost grows
sharply with the modulus length, so an authoritative server could
publish an oversized DNSKEY to make each signature check on the
resolver many times more expensive than for a normally sized key.
The intended verify-time cap had no effect because the helper it called
returned the public-exponent bit length rather than the modulus bit
length, so the test was always satisfied. Replace it with an honest
modulus-range check and a stricter exponent check that accepts only odd
exponents in the closed range [3, 2^32 + 1] (covering every Fermat
prime up to F5 and the odd intermediate values seen in deployed keys),
reject anything outside those bounds at every RSA key load path so an
invalid key never reaches the verifier, and keep the same checks at the
verifier as a backstop against future load paths.
