Notes for BIND 9.20.22
----------------------
Security Fixes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Fix crash when reconfiguring zone update policy during active updates.
We fixed a crash that could occur when running :option:`rndc reconfig`
to change a zone's update policy (e.g., from :any:`allow-update` to
:any:`update-policy`) while DNS UPDATE requests were being processed
for that zone.
ISC would like to thank Vitaly Simonovich for bringing this issue to
our attention. :gl:`#5817`
Bug Fixes
~~~~~~~~~
- Fix intermittent :iscman:`named` crashes during asynchronous zone
operations.
Asynchronous zone loading and dumping operations occasionally
dispatched tasks to the wrong internal event loop. This threading
violation triggered internal safety assertions that abruptly
terminated :iscman:`named`. Strict loop affinity is now enforced for
these tasks, ensuring they execute on their designated threads and
preventing the crashes. :gl:`#4882`
- Count temporal problems with DNSSEC validation as attempts.
After the KeyTrap vulnerability :cve:`2023-50387`, any temporal
DNSSEC errors were originally hard errors that caused validation
failures, even if the records had another valid signature. This has
been changed; RRSIGs outside of the inception and expiration time are
not counted as hard errors. However, these errors were not even
counted as validation attempts, so an excessive number of expired
RRSIGs would cause some non-cryptographic extra work for the
validator. This has been fixed and the temporal errors are now
correctly counted as validation attempts. :gl:`#5760`
- Fix a possible deadlock in RPZ processing.
The :iscman:`named` process could hang when processing a maliciously
crafted update for a response policy zone (RPZ). This has been fixed.
:gl:`#5775`
- Fix a crash triggered by :option:`rndc modzone` on a zone from a
configuration file.
Calling :option:`rndc modzone` on a zone that was configured in the
configuration file caused a crash. This has been fixed. :gl:`#5800`
- Fix the processing of empty catalog zone ACLs.
The :iscman:`named` process could terminate unexpectedly when
processing a catalog zone ACL in an APL resource record that was
completely empty. This has been fixed. :gl:`#5801`
- Fix a crash triggered by :option:`rndc modzone` on zone that already
existed in NZF file.
Calling :option:`rndc modzone` didn't work properly for a zone that
was configured in the configuration file. It could crash if BIND 9 was
built without LMDB or if there was already an NZF file for the zone.
This has been fixed. :gl:`#5826`
- Fix potential resource leak during resolver error handling.
Under specific error conditions during query processing, resources
were not being properly released, which could eventually lead to
unnecessary memory consumption for the server. A potential resource
leak in the resolver has been fixed. :gl:`!11658`
