This commit changes send buffers allocation strategy for stream based
transports. Before that change we would allocate a dynamic buffers
sized at 64Kb even when we do not need that much. That could lead to
high memory usage on server. Now we resize the send buffer to match
the size of the actual data, freeing the memory at the end of the
buffer for being reused later.

DSCP has not been fully working since the network manager was
introduced in 9.16, and has been completely broken since 9.18.
This seems to have caused very few difficulties for anyone,
so we have now marked it as obsolete and removed the
implementation.
To ensure that old config files don't fail, the code to parse
dscp key-value pairs is still present, but a warning is logged
that the feature is obsolete and should not be used. Nothing is
done with configured values, and there is no longer any
range checking.

Send the ns_query_cancel() on the recursing clients when we initiate the
named shutdown for faster shutdown.
When we are shutting down the resolver, we cancel all the outstanding
fetches, and the ISC_R_CANCEL events doesn't propagate to the ns_client
callback.
In the future, the better solution how to fix this would be to look at
the shutdown paths and let them all propagate from bottom (loopmgr) to
top (f.e. ns_client).

Don't attempt to resolve DNS responses for intermediate results. This
may create multiple refreshes and can cause a crash.
One scenario is where for the query there is a CNAME and canonical
answer in cache that are both stale. This will trigger a refresh of
the RRsets because we encountered stale data and we prioritized it over
the lookup. It will trigger a refresh of both RRsets. When we start
recursing, it will detect a recursion loop because the recursion
parameters will eventually be the same. In 'dns_resolver_destroyfetch'
the sanity check fails, one of the callers did not get its event back
before trying to destroy the fetch.
Move the call to 'query_refresh_rrset' to 'ns_query_done', so that it
is only called once per client request.
Another scenario is where for the query there is a stale CNAME in the
cache that points to a record that is also in cache but not stale. This
will trigger a refresh of the RRset (because we encountered stale data
and we prioritized it over the lookup).
We mark RRsets that we add to the message with
DNS_RDATASETATTR_STALE_ADDED to prevent adding a duplicate RRset when
a stale lookup and a normal lookup conflict with each other. However,
the other non-stale RRset when following a CNAME chain will be added to
the message without setting that attribute, because it is not stale.
This is a variant of the bug in #2594. The fix covered the same crash
but for stale-answer-client-timeout > 0.
Fix this by clearing all RRsets from the message before refreshing.
This requires the refresh to happen after the query is send back to
the client.

This way only quota size is passed to the interface/listener
management code instead of a quota object. Thus, we can implement
updating the quota object size instead of recreating the object.

This commit adds support for Strict/Mutual TLS into BIND. It does so
by implementing the backing code for 'hostname' and 'ca-file' options
of the 'tls' statement. The commit also updates the documentation
accordingly.
The .lock, .exiting and .excl members were not using for anything else
than starting task exclusive mode, setting .exiting to true and ending
exclusive mode.
Remove all the stray members and dead code eliminating the task
exclusive mode use from ns_clientmgr.
(cherry picked from commit 4f74e1010e)
In order to modify the .localhost and .localnets members of the
dns_aclenv, all other processing on the netmgr loops needed to be
stopped using the task exclusive mode. Add the isc_rwlock to the
dns_aclenv, so any modifications to the .localhost and .localnets can be
done under the write lock.

Commit aab691d512 did not fix all possible
scenarios in which the ns_statscounter_recursclients counter underflows.
The solution implemented therein can be ineffective e.g. when CNAME
chaining happens with prefetching enabled.
Here is an example recursive resolution scenario in which the
ns_statscounter_recursclients counter can underflow with the current
logic in effect:
1. Query processing starts, the answer is not found in the cache, so
recursion is started. The NS_CLIENTATTR_RECURSING attribute is set.
ns_statscounter_recursclients is incremented (Δ = +1).
2. Recursion completes, returning a CNAME. client->recursionquota is
non-NULL, so the NS_CLIENTATTR_RECURSING attribute remains set.
ns_statscounter_recursclients is decremented (Δ = 0).
3. Query processing restarts.
4. The current QNAME (the target of the CNAME from step 2) is found in
the cache, with a TTL low enough to trigger a prefetch.
5. query_prefetch() attaches to client->recursionquota.
ns_statscounter_recursclients is not incremented because
query_prefetch() does not do that (Δ = 0).
6. Query processing restarts.
7. The current QNAME (the target of the CNAME from step 4) is not found
in the cache, so recursion is started. client->recursionquota is
already attached to (since step 5) and the NS_CLIENTATTR_RECURSING
attribute is set (since step 1), so ns_statscounter_recursclients is
not incremented (Δ = 0).
8. The prefetch from step 5 completes. client->recursionquota is
detached from in prefetch_done(). ns_statscounter_recursclients is
not decremented because prefetch_done() does not do that (Δ = 0).
9. Recursion for the current QNAME completes. client->recursionquota
is already detached from, i.e. set to NULL (since step 8), and the
NS_CLIENTATTR_RECURSING attribute is set (since step 1), so
ns_statscounter_recursclients is decremented (Δ = -1).
Another possible scenario is that after step 7, recursion for the target
of the CNAME from step 4 completes before the prefetch for the CNAME
itself. fetch_callback() then notices that client->recursionquota is
non-NULL and decrements ns_statscounter_recursclients, even though
client->recursionquota was attached to by query_prefetch() and therefore
not accompanied by an incrementation of ns_statscounter_recursclients.
The net result is also an underflow.
Instead of trying to properly handle all possible orderings of events
set into motion by normal recursion and prefetch-triggered recursion,
adjust ns_statscounter_recursclients whenever the recursive clients
quota is successfully attached to or detached from. Remove the
NS_CLIENTATTR_RECURSING attribute altogether as its only purpose is made
obsolete by this change.

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.
Using the TLS context cache for server-side contexts could reduce the
number of contexts to initialise in the configurations when e.g. the
same 'tls' entry is used in multiple 'listen-on' statements for the
same DNS transport, binding to multiple IP addresses.
In such a case, only one TLS context will be created, instead of a
context per IP address, which could reduce the initialisation time, as
initialising even a non-ephemeral TLS context introduces some delay,
which can be *visually* noticeable by log activity.
Also, this change lays down a foundation for Mutual TLS (when the
server validates a client certificate, additionally to a client
validating the server), as the TLS context cache can be extended to
store additional data required for validation (like intermediates CA
chain).
Additionally to the above, the change ensures that the contexts are
not being changed after initialisation, as such a practice is frowned
upon. Previously we would set the supported ALPN tags within
isc_nm_listenhttp() and isc_nm_listentlsdns(). We do not do that for
client-side contexts, so that appears to be an overlook. Now we set
the supported ALPN tags right after server-side contexts creation,
similarly how we do for client-side ones.
reference counting of ns_interface objects has not been used
since the clientmgr cleanup in #2433, and it no longer really
makes sense now - when we want to destroy an interface on a
rescan, we want it to be destroyed, not kept active by some
other caller. so ns_interface_attach() has been removed,
ns_interface_detach() has been replaced with a static
interface_destroy(), and do_scan() has been simplified
accordingly.
previously, if "listen-on-v6" was set to "none", then every
time a scan saw an IPv6 address it would appear to be a new
one. this commit retains all known interfaces in a list
and sets a flag in the ones that are listening, so that
configured interfaces that have been seen before will be
recognized as such.
as an incidental fix, the ns__interfacemgr_getif() and _nextif()
functions have been removed since they were never used.
The 850e9e59bf commit intended to recreate
the HTTPS and TLS interfaces during reconfiguration, but they are being
recreated also during regular interface re-scans.
Make sure the HTTPS and TLS interfaces are being recreated only during
reconfiguration.
Add a new parameter to 'ns_client_t' to store potential extended DNS
error. Reset when the client request ends, or is put back.
Add defines for all well-known info-codes.
Update the number of DNS_EDNSOPTIONS that we are willing to set.
Create a new function to set the extended error for a client reply.
Some of the libns unit tests override the isc_nmhandle_attach() and
_detach() functions. This causes a failure in ns_interface_create()
if a route socket is being used, so we add a parameter to disable it.
Unify the header guard style and replace the inconsistent include guards
with #pragma once.
The #pragma once is widely and very well supported in all compilers that
BIND 9 supports, and #pragma once was already in use in several new or
refactored headers.
Using simpler method will also allow us to automate header guard checks
as this is simpler to programatically check.
For reference, here are the reasons for the change taken from
Wikipedia[1]:
> In the C and C++ programming languages, #pragma once is a non-standard
> but widely supported preprocessor directive designed to cause the
> current source file to be included only once in a single compilation.
>
> Thus, #pragma once serves the same purpose as include guards, but with
> several advantages, including: less code, avoidance of name clashes,
> and sometimes improvement in compilation speed. On the other hand,
> #pragma once is not necessarily available in all compilers and its
> implementation is tricky and might not always be reliable.

Remove the dynamic registration of result codes. Convert isc_result_t
from unsigned + #defines into 32-bit enum type in grand unified
<isc/result.h> header. Keep the existing values of the result codes
even at the expense of the description and identifier tables being
unnecessary large.
Additionally, add couple of:
switch (result) {
[...]
default:
break;
}
statements where compiler now complains about missing enum values in the
switch statement.
- Responses received by the dispatch are no longer sent to the caller
via a task event, but via a netmgr-style recv callback. the 'action'
parameter to dns_dispatch_addresponse() is now called 'response' and
is called directly from udp_recv() or tcp_recv() when a valid response
has been received.
- All references to isc_task and isc_taskmgr have been removed from
dispatch functions.
- All references to dns_dispatchevent_t have been removed and the type
has been deleted.
- Added a task to the resolver response context, to be used for fctx
events.
- When the caller cancels an operation, the response handler will be
called with ISC_R_CANCELED; it can abort immediately since the caller
will presumably have taken care of cleanup already.
- Cleaned up attach/detach in resquery and request.
Continuing the effort to move all uses of the isc_socket API into
dispatch.c, this commit removes the dns_tcpmsg module entirely, as
dispatch was its only caller, and moves the parts of its functionality
that were being used into the dispatch module.
This code will be removed when we switch to using netmgr TCPDNS.
- style cleanup
- removed NULL checks in places where they are not currently needed
- use isc_refcount for dispatch reference counting
- revised code flow for readability
- remove some #ifdefs that are no longer relevant
- remove unused struct members
- removed unnecessary function parameters
- use C99 struct initialization
This commit adds the ability to enable or disable stateless TLS
session resumption tickets (see RFC5077). Having this ability is
twofold.
Firstly, these tickets are encrypted by the server, and the algorithm
might be weaker than the algorithm negotiated during the TLS session
establishment (it is in general the case for TLSv1.2, but the generic
principle applies to TLSv1.3 as well, despite it having better ciphers
for session tickets). Thus, they might compromise Perfect Forward
Secrecy.
Secondly, disabling it might be necessary if the same TLS key/cert
pair is supposed to be used by multiple servers to achieve, e.g., load
balancing because the session ticket by default gets generated in
runtime, while to achieve successful session resumption ability, in
this case, would have required using a shared key.
The proper alternative to having the ability to disable stateless TLS
session resumption tickets is to implement a proper session tickets
key rollover mechanism so that key rotation might be performed
often (e.g. once an hour) to not compromise forward secrecy while
retaining the associated performance benefits. That is much more work,
though. On the other hand, having the ability to disable session
tickets allows having a deployable configuration right now in the
cases when either forward secrecy is wanted or sharing the TLS
key/cert pair between multiple servers is needed (or both).
This commit adds support for enforcing the preference of server
ciphers over the client ones. This way, the server attains control
over the ciphers priority and, thus, can choose more strong cyphers
when a client prioritises less strong ciphers over the more strong
ones, which is beneficial when trying to achieve Perfect Forward
Secrecy.
This commit adds support for setting TLS cipher list string in the
format specified in the OpenSSL
documentation (https://www.openssl.org/docs/man1.1.1/man1/ciphers.html).
The syntax of the cipher list is verified so that specifying the wrong
string will prevent the configuration from being loaded.
This commit adds support for loading DH-parameters (Diffie-Hellman
parameters) via the new "dhparam-file" option within "tls" clause. In
particular, Diffie-Hellman parameters are needed to enable the range
of forward-secrecy enabled cyphers for TLSv1.2, which are getting
silently disabled otherwise.
This commit adds the ability to specify allowed TLS protocols versions
within the "tls" clause. If an unsupported TLS protocol version is
specified in a file, the configuration file will not pass
verification.
Also, this commit adds strict checks for "tls" clauses verification,
in particular:
- it ensures that loading configuration files containing duplicated
"tls" clauses is not allowed;
- it ensures that loading configuration files containing "tls" clauses
missing "cert-file" or "key-file" is not allowed;
- it ensures that loading configuration files containing "tls" clauses
named as "ephemeral" or "none" is not allowed.
Previously, named would run with a configuration
where *-source-v6 (notify-source-v6, transfer-source-v6 and
query-source-v6) address and port could be simultaneously used for
listening. This is no longer true for BIND 9.16+ and the code that
would do interface adjustments would unexpectedly disable listening on
TCP for such interfaces.
This commit removes the code that would adjust listening interfaces
for addresses/ports configured in *-source-v6 option.
The additional processing method has been expanded to take the
owner name of the record, as HTTPS and SVBC need it to process "."
in service form.
The additional section callback can now return the RRset that was
added. We use this when adding CNAMEs. Previously, the recursion
would stop if it detected that a record you added already exists. With
CNAMEs this rule doesn't work, as you ultimately care about the RRset
at the target of the CNAME and not the presence of the CNAME itself.
Returning the record allows the caller to restart with the target
name. As CNAMEs can form loops, loop protection was added.
As HTTPS and SVBC can produce infinite chains, we prevent this by
tracking recursion depth and stopping if we go too deep.
This commit makes number of concurrent HTTP/2 streams per connection
configurable as a mean to fight DDoS attacks. As soon as the limit is
reached, BIND terminates the whole session.
The commit adds a global configuration
option (http-streams-per-connection) which can be overridden in an
http <name> {...} statement like follows:
http local-http-server {
...
streams-per-connection 100;
...
};
For now the default value is 100, which should be enough (e.g. NGINX
uses 128, but it is a full-featured WEB-server). When using lower
numbers (e.g. ~70), it is possible to hit the limit with
e.g. flamethrower.
This commit adds support for http-listener-clients global options as
well as ability to override the default in an HTTP server description,
like:
http local-http-server {
...
listener-clients 100;
...
};
This way we have ability to specify per-listener active connections
quota globally and then override it when required. This is exactly
what AT&T requested us: they wanted a functionality to specify quota
globally and then override it for specific IPs. This change
functionality makes such a configuration possible.
It makes sense: for example, one could have different quotas for
internal and external clients. Or, for example, one could use BIND's
internal ability to serve encrypted DoH with some sane quota value for
internal clients, while having un-encrypted DoH listener without quota
to put BIND behind a load balancer doing TLS offloading for external
clients.
Moreover, the code no more shares the quota with TCP, which makes
little sense anyway (see tcp-clients option), because of the nature of
interaction of DoH clients: they tend to keep idle opened connections
for longer periods of time, preventing the TCP and TLS client from
being served. Thus, the need to have a separate, generally larger,
quota for them.
Also, the change makes any option within "http <name> { ... };"
statement optional, making it easier to override only required default
options.
By default, the DoH connections are limited to 300 per listener. I
hope that it is a good initial guesstimate.
The isc/platform.h header was left empty which things either already
moved to config.h or to appropriate headers. This is just the final
cleanup commit.
The Windows support has been completely removed from the source tree
and BIND 9 now no longer supports native compilation on Windows.
We might consider reviewing mingw-w64 port if contributed by external
party, but no development efforts will be put into making BIND 9 compile
and run on Windows again.
when a serve-stale answer has been sent, the client continues waiting
for a proper answer. if a final completion event for the client does
arrive, it can just be cleaned up without sending a response, similar
to a canceled fetch.
Previously, as a way of reducing the contention between threads a
clientmgr object would be created for each interface/IP address.
We tasks being more strictly bound to netmgr workers, this is no longer
needed and we can just create clientmgr object per worker queue (ncpus).
Each clientmgr object than would have a single task and single memory
context.
The number of memory contexts created in the clientmgr was enormous. It
could easily create thousands of memory contexts because the formula was:
nprotocols * ncpus * ninterfaces * CLIENT_NMCTXS_PERCPU (8)
The original goal was to reduce the contention when allocating the
memory, but after a while nobody noticed that the amount of memory
context allocated would not reduce contention at all.
This commit removes the whole mctxpool and just uses the mctx from
clientmgr as the contention will be reduced directly in the allocator.
The stale-answer-client-timeout feature introduced a dependancy on
when a client may be detached from the handle. The dboption
DNS_DBFIND_STALEONLY was reused to track this attribute. This overloads
the meaning of this database option, and actually introduced a bug
because the option was checked in other places. In particular, in
'ns_query_done()' there is a check for 'RECURSING(qctx->client) &&
(!QUERY_STALEONLY(&qctx->client->query) || ...' and the condition is
satisfied because recursion has not completed yet and
DNS_DBFIND_STALEONLY is already cleared by that time (in
query_lookup()), because we found a useful answer and we should detach
the client from the handle after sending the response.
Add a new boolean to the client structure to keep track of client
detach from handle is allowed or not. It is only disallowed if we are
in a staleonly lookup and we didn't found a useful answer.
