Basically all local data is considered trusted, and proper ACLs and
limits need to be explicitly configured. We are also free to let
protocol non-compliant servers burn in flames.
Read the Docs is capable of building the PDF version of the BIND 9 ARM
using just the contents of the doc/arm/ directory - it does not need the
build system to facilitate that. Since the BIND 9 ARM is also built in
other formats when "make doc" is run, drop the parts of the build system
that enable building the PDF version as they pull in complexity without
bringing much added value in return. Update related files accordingly.
The "Needs Refresh" flag is exposed in two places in the statistics
channel: first - there is a state called "Needs Refresh", when the
process hasn't started yet, but the zone needs a refresh, and second
- there there is a field called "Additional Refresh Queued", when the
process is ongoing, but another refresh is queued for the same zone.
The DNS_ZONEFLG_NEEDREFRESH flag, however, is set only when there is
an ongoing zone transfer and a new notify is received. That is, the
flag is not set for the first case above.
In order to fix the issue, use the DNS_ZONEFLG_NEEDREFRESH flag only
when the zone transfer is running, otherwise, decide whether a zone
needs a refresh using its refresh and expire times.
The XFRST_INITIALSOA state in the xfrin module is named like that,
because the first RR in a zone transfer must be SOA. However, the
name of the state is a bit confusing (especially when exposed to
the users with statistics channel), because it can be mistaken with
the refresh SOA request step, which takes place before the zone
transfer starts.
Rename the state to XFRST_ZONEXFRREQUEST (i.e. Zone Transfer Request).
During that step the state machine performs several operations -
establishing a connection, sending a request, and receiving/parsing
the first RR in the answer.
Improve the "Duration (s)" field, so that it can show the duration of
all the major states of an incoming zone transfer process, while they
are taking place. In particular, it will now show the duration of the
"Pending", "Refresh SOA" and "Deferred" states too, before the actual
zone transfer starts.
With adding this state to the statistics channel, it can now show
the zone transfer in this state instead of as "Pending" when the
zone.c module is performing a refresh SOA request, before actually
starting the transfer process. This will help to understand
whether the process is waiting because of the rate limiter (i.e.
"Pending"), or the rate limiter is passed and it is now waiting for
the refresh SOA query to complete or time out.
Add a new field in the incoming zone transfers section of the
statistics channel to show the transport used for the SOA request.
When the transfer is started beginning from the XFRST_SOAQUERY state,
it means that the SOA query will be performed by xfrin itself, using
the same transport. Otherwise, it means that the SOA query was already
performed by other means (e.g. by zone.c:soa_query()), and, in that
case, we use the SOA query transport type information passed by the
'soa_transport_type' argument, when the xfrin object was created.
The new :cve: Sphinx role takes a CVE number as an argument and creates
a hyperlink to the relevant ISC Knowledgebase document that might have
more up-to-date or verbose information than the relevant release note.
This makes reaching ISC Knowledgebase pages directly from the release
notes easier.
Make all CVE references in the release notes use the new Sphinx role.
The Unix Domain Sockets support in BIND 9 has been completely disabled
since BIND 9.18 and it has been a fatal error since then. Cleanup the
code and the documentation that suggest that Unix Domain Sockets are
supported.
Add a configuration option, resolver-use-dns64, which when true
will cause named to map IPv4 address to IPv6 addresses using the
view's DNS64 mapping rules when making iterative queries.
The dnssec-must-be-secure feature was added in the early days of BIND 9
and DNSSEC and it makes sense only as a debugging feature.
Remove the feature to simplify the code.
Add the text "TTL-style unit suffixes or ISO 8601 duration formats",
just like we do at other places that are duration option types.
Also, in the dnssec-policy "keys" example, use a TTL-style unit too.
There's a statement that says: "Here is an example (for illustration
purposes only) of some possible entries in a [keys] list:", and that
links to the wrong "keys" statement (it links to the TSIG keys section).
Remove the reference, as we are already in the right section.
The doc/arm/requirements.txt file is the single source of truth when it
comes to Sphinx tools versions used to build documentation via
util/release-tarball-comparison.sh.
Move i386 and other less common or ancient CPU architectures to
Community-Maintened category. Move armhf and arm64 to the Best-Effort
category as we do test them as part of development work (new MacBooks
are all arm64), we don't really do full set of tests in the CI.
This adds support for User Statically Defined Tracing (USDT). On
Linux, this uses the header from SystemTap and dtrace utility, but the
support is universal as long as dtrace is available.
Also add the required infrastructure to add probes to libisc, libdns and
libns libraries, where most of the probes will be.
