Ondřej Surý 58bd26b6cf Update the copyright information in all files in the repository
This commit converts the license handling to adhere to the REUSE
specification.  It specifically:

1. Adds used licnses to LICENSES/ directory

2. Add "isc" template for adding the copyright boilerplate

3. Changes all source files to include copyright and SPDX license
   header, this includes all the C sources, documentation, zone files,
   configuration files.  There are notes in the doc/dev/copyrights file
   on how to add correct headers to the new files.

4. Handle the rest that can't be modified via .reuse/dep5 file.  The
   binary (or otherwise unmodifiable) files could have license places
   next to them in <foo>.license file, but this would lead to cluttered
   repository and most of the files handled in the .reuse/dep5 file are
   system test files.

Notes for BIND 9.17.12
----------------------
Security Fixes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- A malformed incoming IXFR transfer could trigger an assertion failure
in ``named``, causing it to quit abnormally. (CVE-2021-25214)
ISC would like to thank Greg Kuechle of SaskTel for bringing this
vulnerability to our attention. :gl:`#2467`
- ``named`` crashed when a DNAME record placed in the ANSWER section
during DNAME chasing turned out to be the final answer to a client
query. (CVE-2021-25215)
ISC would like to thank `Siva Kakarla`_ for bringing this
vulnerability to our attention. :gl:`#2540`

Feature Changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- The ISC implementation of SPNEGO was removed from BIND 9 source code.
Instead, BIND 9 now always uses the SPNEGO implementation provided by
the system GSSAPI library when it is built with GSSAPI support. All
major contemporary Kerberos/GSSAPI libraries contain an implementation
of the SPNEGO mechanism. This change was introduced in BIND 9.17.2,
but it was not included in the release notes at the time. :gl:`#2607`
- The default value for the ``stale-answer-client-timeout`` option was
changed from ``1800`` (ms) to ``off``. The default value may be
changed again in future releases as this feature matures. :gl:`#2608`
Bug Fixes
~~~~~~~~~
- TCP idle and initial timeouts were being incorrectly applied: only the
``tcp-initial-timeout`` was applied on the whole connection, even if
the connection were still active, which could prevent a large zone
transfer from being sent back to the client. The default setting for
``tcp-initial-timeout`` was 30 seconds, which meant that any TCP
connection taking more than 30 seconds was abruptly terminated. This
has been fixed. :gl:`#2583`
- When ``stale-answer-client-timeout`` was set to a positive value and
recursion for a client query completed when ``named`` was about to
look for a stale answer, an assertion could fail in
``query_respond()``, resulting in a crash. This has been fixed.
:gl:`#2594`
- After upgrading to the previous release, journal files for trust
anchor databases (e.g. ``managed-keys.bind.jnl``) could be left in a
corrupt state. (Other zone journal files were not affected.) This has
been fixed. If a corrupt journal file is detected, ``named`` can now
recover from it. :gl:`#2600`
- When sending queries over TCP, ``dig`` now properly handles ``+tries=1
+retry=0`` by not retrying the connection when the remote server
closes the connection prematurely. :gl:`#2490`
- CDS/CDNSKEY DELETE records are now removed when a zone transitions
from a secure to an insecure state. ``named-checkzone`` also no longer
reports an error when such records are found in an unsigned zone.
:gl:`#2517`
- Zones using KASP could not be thawed after they were frozen using
``rndc freeze``. This has been fixed. :gl:`#2523`
- After ``rndc checkds -checkds`` or ``rndc dnssec -rollover`` is used,
``named`` now immediately attempts to reconfigure zone keys. This
change prevents unnecessary key rollover delays. :gl:`#2488`
- ``named`` crashed after skipping a primary server while transferring a
zone over TLS. This has been fixed. :gl:`#2562`
