BIND 9 will now treat the response as insecure when processing NSEC3
records with iterations larger than 50.
Earlier, we limited the number of iterations to 150 (in #2445).
RFC 9276 says: Because there has been a large growth of open (public)
DNSSEC validating resolvers that are subject to compute resource
constraints when handling requests from anonymous clients, this
document recommends that validating resolvers reduce their iteration
count limits over time. Specifically, validating resolver operators and
validating resolver software implementers are encouraged to continue
evaluating NSEC3 iteration count deployment trends and lower their
acceptable iteration limits over time.
After evaluation, we decided that the next major BIND release should
lower the maximum allowed NSEC3 iterations to 50, which should be
fine for 99,87% of the domain names.
These two configuration options worked in conjunction with 'auto-dnssec'
to determine KSK usage, and thus are now obsoleted.
However, in the code we keep KSK processing so that when a zone is
reconfigured from using 'dnssec-policy' immediately to 'none' (without
going through 'insecure'), the zone is not immediately made bogus.
Add one more test case for going straight to none, now with a dynamic
zone (no inline-signing).
When fatal is called we may be holding memory allocated by OpenSSL.
This may result in the reference count for the FIPS provider not
going to zero and the shared library not being unloaded during
OPENSSL_cleanup. When the shared library is ultimately unloaded,
when all remaining dynamically loaded libraries are freed, we have
already destroyed the memory context we where using to track memory
leaks / late frees resulting in INSIST being called.
Disable triggering the INSIST when fatal has being called.
There are times where you want named-checkconf to check whether the
dnssec-policies should be constrained by the cryptographic algorithms
supported by the operation system or to just accept all possible
algorithms. This provides a mechanism to make that selection.
The isc_time_now() and isc_time_now_hires() were used inconsistently
through the code - either with status check, or without status check,
or via TIME_NOW() macro with RUNTIME_CHECK() on failure.
Refactor the isc_time_now() and isc_time_now_hires() to always fail when
getting current time has failed, and return the isc_time_t value as
return value instead of passing the pointer to result in the argument.
This is a simple replacement using the semantic patch from the previous
commit and as added bonus, one removal of previously undetected unused
variable in named/server.c.
Previously, isc_job_run() could have been used to run the job on the
current loop and the isc_job_run() would take care of allocating and
deallocating the job. After the change in this MR, the isc_job_run()
is more complicated to use, so we introduce the isc_async_current()
macro to suplement isc_async_run() when we need to run the job on the
current loop.
Change the isc_job_run() to not-make any allocations. The caller must
make sure that it allocates isc_job_t - usually as part of the argument
passed to the callback.
For simple jobs, using isc_async_run() is advised as it allocates its
own separate isc_job_t.
without diffie-hellman TKEY negotiation, some other code is
now effectively dead or unnecessary, and can be cleaned up:
- the rndc tsig-list and tsig-delete commands.
- a nonoperational command-line option to dnssec-keygen that
was documented as being specific to DH.
- the section of the ARM that discussed TKEY/DH.
- the functions dns_tkey_builddeletequery(), processdeleteresponse(),
and tkey_processgssresponse(), which are unused.
Completely remove the TKEY Mode 2 (Diffie-Hellman Exchanged Keying) from
BIND 9 (from named, named.conf and all the tools). The TKEY usage is
fringe at best and in all known cases, GSSAPI is being used as it should.
The draft-eastlake-dnsop-rfc2930bis-tkey specifies that:
4.2 Diffie-Hellman Exchanged Keying (Deprecated)
The use of this mode (#2) is NOT RECOMMENDED for the following two
reasons but the specification is still included in Appendix A in case
an implementation is needed for compatibility with old TKEY
implementations. See Section 4.6 on ECDH Exchanged Keying.
The mixing function used does not meet current cryptographic
standards because it uses MD5 [RFC6151].
RSA keys must be excessively long to achieve levels of security
required by current standards.
We might optionally implement Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) key
exchange mode 6 if the draft ever reaches the RFC status. Meanwhile the
insecure DH mode needs to be removed.
Change the commandline option -G to take a string that determines what
sync records should be published. It is a comma-separated string with
each element being either "cdnskey", or "cds:<algorithm>", where
<algorithm> is a valid digest type. Duplicates are suppressed.
Now that we can configure a different digest type, update the code
to honor the configuration. Update 'dns_dnssec_syncupdate' so that
the correct CDS record is published, and also when deleting CDS records,
ensure that all possible CDS records are removed from the zone.
as there is no further use of isc_task in BIND, this commit removes
it, along with isc_taskmgr, isc_event, and all other related types.
functions that accepted taskmgr as a parameter have been cleaned up.
as a result of this change, some functions can no longer fail, so
they've been changed to type void, and their callers have been
updated accordingly.
the tasks table has been removed from the statistics channel and
the stats version has been updated. dns_dyndbctx has been changed
to reference the loopmgr instead of taskmgr, and DNS_DYNDB_VERSION
has been udpated as well.
This changes the internal isc_rwlock implementation to:
Irina Calciu, Dave Dice, Yossi Lev, Victor Luchangco, Virendra
J. Marathe, and Nir Shavit. 2013. NUMA-aware reader-writer locks.
SIGPLAN Not. 48, 8 (August 2013), 157–166.
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1145/2517327.24425
(The full article available from:
http://mcg.cs.tau.ac.il/papers/ppopp2013-rwlocks.pdf)
The implementation is based on the The Writer-Preference Lock (C-RW-WP)
variant (see the 3.4 section of the paper for the rationale).
The implemented algorithm has been modified for simplicity and for usage
patterns in rbtdb.c.
The changes compared to the original algorithm:
* We haven't implemented the cohort locks because that would require a
knowledge of NUMA nodes, instead a simple atomic_bool is used as
synchronization point for writer lock.
* The per-thread reader counters are not being used - this would
require the internal thread id (isc_tid_v) to be always initialized,
even in the utilities; the change has a slight performance penalty,
so we might revisit this change in the future. However, this change
also saves a lot of memory, because cache-line aligned counters were
used, so on 32-core machine, the rwlock would be 4096+ bytes big.
* The readers use a writer_barrier that will raise after a while when
readers lock can't be acquired to prevent readers starvation.
* Separate ingress and egress readers counters queues to reduce both
inter and intra-thread contention.
removed some functions that are no longer used and unlikely to
be resurrected, and also some that were only used to support Windows
and can now be replaced with generic versions.
Move and give unique names to the dns_db_t, dns_dbnode_t and
dns_dbversion_t pointers, so they have global scope and therefore
are visible to cleanup. Unique names are not strictly necessary,
as none of the functions involved call each other.
Change free_db to handle NULL pointers and also an optional
(dns_dbversion_t **).
In match_keyset_dsset and free_keytable, ki to be handled
differently to prevent a false positive NULL pointer dereference
warning from scan.
In formatset moved dns_master_styledestroy earlier and freed
buf before calling check_result to prevent memory leak.
In append_new_ds_set freed ds on the default path before
calling check_result to prevent memory leak.
The signal handler in the isc_loop would wait for all the work to finish
before interrupting the signing. Add teardown handlers via
isc_loopmgr_teardown() to signal the assignwork() it should stop signing
and bail-out early.
NOTE: The dnssec-signzone binary still can't be interrupted during zone
loading, zone cleaning, nsec(3) chain generation or zone writing. This
might get addressed in the future if it becomes a problem.
Instead of dumping the signed zone contents node by node during the
signing, dump the entire zone at the end. This was already done for the
raw zone format, but it shows that the IO is better utilized when the
zone dump is done in one single write rather than in small chunks.
A side effect of dumping node by node was that all names were printed
relative to the zone origin rather than being grouped under different
$ORIGINs as would normally be the case when dumping a zone. Also, state
was not maintained from one node to the next regarding whether the CLASS
has already been printed, so it was always included with the first
record of each node.
Since dnssec-signzone uses the dns_master_style_explicittl text format
style, and is the only application that does so, we can revise that
style and add a new DNS_STYLEFLAG_CLASS_PERNAME flag to get the output
back to what it was before this change.
Use isc_job_run() instead of isc_task_send() for dnssec-signzone
worker threads.
Also fix the issue where the additional assignwork() would be run only
from the main thread effectively serializing all the signing.
In several places, the structures were cleaned with memset(...)) and
thus the semantic patch converted the isc_mem_get(...) to
isc_mem_getx(..., ISC_MEM_ZERO). Use the designated initializer to
initialized the structures instead of zeroing the memory with
ISC_MEM_ZERO flag as this better matches the intended purpose.
Add new semantic patch to replace the straightfoward uses of:
ptr = isc_mem_{get,allocate}(..., size);
memset(ptr, 0, size);
with the new API call:
ptr = isc_mem_{get,allocate}x(..., size, ISC_MEM_ZERO);
Previously:
* applications were using isc_app as the base unit for running the
application and signal handling.
* networking was handled in the netmgr layer, which would start a
number of threads, each with a uv_loop event loop.
* task/event handling was done in the isc_task unit, which used
netmgr event loops to run the isc_event calls.
In this refactoring:
* the network manager now uses isc_loop instead of maintaining its
own worker threads and event loops.
* the taskmgr that manages isc_task instances now also uses isc_loopmgr,
and every isc_task runs on a specific isc_loop bound to the specific
thread.
* applications have been updated as necessary to use the new API.
* new ISC_LOOP_TEST macros have been added to enable unit tests to
run isc_loop event loops. unit tests have been updated to use this
where needed.
* isc_timer was rewritten using the uv_timer, and isc_timermgr_t was
completely removed; isc_timer objects are now directly created on the
isc_loop event loops.
* the isc_timer API has been simplified. the "inactive" timer type has
been removed; timers are now stopped by calling isc_timer_stop()
instead of resetting to inactive.
* isc_manager now creates a loop manager rather than a timer manager.
* modules and applications using isc_timer have been updated to use the
new API.
When doing a dnssec-policy reconfiguration from a zone with NSEC only
keys to a zone that uses NSEC3, figure out to wait with building the
NSEC3 chain.
Previously, BIND 9 would attempt to sign such a zone, but failed to
do so because the NSEC3 chain conflicted with existing DNSKEY records
in the zone that were not compatible with NSEC3.
There exists logic for detecting such a case in the functions
dnskey_sane() (in lib/dns/zone.c) and check_dnssec() (in
lib/ns/update.c). Both functions look very similar so refactor them
to use the same code and call the new function (called
dns_zone_check_dnskey_nsec3()).
Also update the dns_nsec_nseconly() function to take an additional
parameter 'diff' that, if provided, will be checked whether an
offending NSEC only DNSKEY will be deleted from the zone. If so,
this key will not be considered when checking the zone for NSEC only
DNSKEYs. This is needed to allow a transition from an NSEC zone with
NSEC only DNSKEYs to an NSEC3 zone.
Clean up dns_rdatalist_tordataset() and dns_rdatalist_fromrdataset()
functions by making them return void, because they cannot fail.
Clean up other functions that subsequently cannot fail.
Previously, tasks could be created either unbound or bound to a specific
thread (worker loop). The unbound tasks would be assigned to a random
thread every time isc_task_send() was called. Because there's no logic
that would assign the task to the least busy worker, this just creates
unpredictability. Instead of random assignment, bind all the previously
unbound tasks to worker 0, which is guaranteed to exist.
When there is no time in a key file, `dnssec-settime` will print
"UNSET", but to unset a time the user must specify "none" or "never".
This change allows "unset" or "UNSET" as well as "none" or "never".
The "UNSET" output remains the same to avoid compatibility problems
with wrapper scripts.
I have also re-synchronized the "Timing Options" sections of the man
pages.
Sphinx "standard domain" provides directive types ".. program::" and
".. option::" to create link anchor for a program name + option combination.
These can be referenced using :ref:`program option` syntax.
The problem is that Sphinx 1.8.5 (e.g. in Ubuntu 18.04) generates
conflicting link targets if a page contains two option directives
starting with the same word, e.g.:
.. program:: dnssec-settime
.. option:: -P date
.. option:: -P ds date
The reason is that option directive consumes only first word as "option
name" (-P) and all the rest is considered "option argument" (date, ds
date). Newer versions of Sphinx (e.g. 4.5.0) handle this by creating
numbered link anchors, but older versions warn and BIND build system
turns the warning into a hard error.
To handle that we use method recommended by Sphinx maintainer:
https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/issues/10218#issuecomment-1059925508
As a bonus it provides more accurate link anchors for sub-options.
Alternatives considered:
- Replacing standard domain definition of .. option - causes more
problems, see BIND issue #3294.
- Removing hyperlinks for options - that would be a step back.
Fixes: #3295
