When using the `unixtime` or `date` method to update the SOA serial,
`named` and `dnssec-signzone` would silently fallback to `increment`
method to prevent the new serial number to be smaller than the old
serial number (using the serial number arithmetics). Add a warning
message when such fallback happens.
This is a part of the works that intends to make the netmgr stable,
testable, maintainable and tested. It contains a numerous changes to
the netmgr code and unfortunately, it was not possible to split this
into smaller chunks as the work here needs to be committed as a complete
works.
NOTE: There's a quite a lot of duplicated code between udp.c, tcp.c and
tcpdns.c and it should be a subject to refactoring in the future.
The changes that are included in this commit are listed here
(extensively, but not exclusively):
* The netmgr_test unit test was split into individual tests (udp_test,
tcp_test, tcpdns_test and newly added tcp_quota_test)
* The udp_test and tcp_test has been extended to allow programatic
failures from the libuv API. Unfortunately, we can't use cmocka
mock() and will_return(), so we emulate the behaviour with #define and
including the netmgr/{udp,tcp}.c source file directly.
* The netievents that we put on the nm queue have variable number of
members, out of these the isc_nmsocket_t and isc_nmhandle_t always
needs to be attached before enqueueing the netievent_<foo> and
detached after we have called the isc_nm_async_<foo> to ensure that
the socket (handle) doesn't disappear between scheduling the event and
actually executing the event.
* Cancelling the in-flight TCP connection using libuv requires to call
uv_close() on the original uv_tcp_t handle which just breaks too many
assumptions we have in the netmgr code. Instead of using uv_timer for
TCP connection timeouts, we use platform specific socket option.
* Fix the synchronization between {nm,async}_{listentcp,tcpconnect}
When isc_nm_listentcp() or isc_nm_tcpconnect() is called it was
waiting for socket to either end up with error (that path was fine) or
to be listening or connected using condition variable and mutex.
Several things could happen:
0. everything is ok
1. the waiting thread would miss the SIGNAL() - because the enqueued
event would be processed faster than we could start WAIT()ing.
In case the operation would end up with error, it would be ok, as
the error variable would be unchanged.
2. the waiting thread miss the sock->{connected,listening} = `true`
would be set to `false` in the tcp_{listen,connect}close_cb() as
the connection would be so short lived that the socket would be
closed before we could even start WAIT()ing
* The tcpdns has been converted to using libuv directly. Previously,
the tcpdns protocol used tcp protocol from netmgr, this proved to be
very complicated to understand, fix and make changes to. The new
tcpdns protocol is modeled in a similar way how tcp netmgr protocol.
Closes: #2194, #2283, #2318, #2266, #2034, #1920
* The tcp and tcpdns is now not using isc_uv_import/isc_uv_export to
pass accepted TCP sockets between netthreads, but instead (similar to
UDP) uses per netthread uv_loop listener. This greatly reduces the
complexity as the socket is always run in the associated nm and uv
loops, and we are also not touching the libuv internals.
There's an unfortunate side effect though, the new code requires
support for load-balanced sockets from the operating system for both
UDP and TCP (see #2137). If the operating system doesn't support the
load balanced sockets (either SO_REUSEPORT on Linux or SO_REUSEPORT_LB
on FreeBSD 12+), the number of netthreads is limited to 1.
* The netmgr has now two debugging #ifdefs:
1. Already existing NETMGR_TRACE prints any dangling nmsockets and
nmhandles before triggering assertion failure. This options would
reduce performance when enabled, but in theory, it could be enabled
on low-performance systems.
2. New NETMGR_TRACE_VERBOSE option has been added that enables
extensive netmgr logging that allows the software engineer to
precisely track any attach/detach operations on the nmsockets and
nmhandles. This is not suitable for any kind of production
machine, only for debugging.
* The tlsdns netmgr protocol has been split from the tcpdns and it still
uses the old method of stacking the netmgr boxes on top of each other.
We will have to refactor the tlsdns netmgr protocol to use the same
approach - build the stack using only libuv and openssl.
* Limit but not assert the tcp buffer size in tcp_alloc_cb
Closes: #2061
Since the queries sent towards root and TLD servers are now included in
the count (as a result of the fix for CVE-2020-8616),
"max-recursion-queries" has a higher chance of being exceeded by
non-attack queries. Increase its default value from 75 to 100.
Fallback to TCP when we have already seen a DNS COOKIE response
from the given address and don't have one in this UDP response. This
could be a server that has turned off DNS COOKIE support, a
misconfigured anycast server with partial DNS COOKIE support, or a
spoofed response. Falling back to TCP is the correct behaviour in
all 3 cases.
Make sure pointer checks in unit tests use cmocka assertion macros
dedicated for use with pointers instead of those dedicated for use with
integers or booleans.
Add unit test to ensure the right NSEC3PARAM event is scheduled in
'dns_zone_setnsec3param()'. To avoid scheduling and managing actual
tasks, split up the 'dns_zone_setnsec3param()' function in two parts:
1. 'dns__zone_lookup_nsec3param()' that will check if the requested
NSEC3 parameters already exist, and if a new salt needs to be
generated.
2. The actual scheduling of the new NSEC3PARAM event (if needed).
When generating a new salt, compare it with the previous NSEC3
paremeters to ensure the new parameters are different from the
previous ones.
This moves the salt generation call from 'bin/named/*.s' to
'lib/dns/zone.c'. When setting new NSEC3 parameters, you can set a new
function parameter 'resalt' to enforce a new salt to be generated. A
new salt will also be generated if 'salt' is set to NULL.
Logging salt with zone context can now be done with 'dnssec_log',
removing the need for 'dns_nsec3_log_salt'.
Upon request from Mark, change the configuration of salt to salt
length.
Introduce a new function 'dns_zone_checknsec3aram' that can be used
upon reconfiguration to check if the existing NSEC3 parameters are
in sync with the configuration. If a salt is used that matches the
configured salt length, don't change the NSEC3 parameters.
Check 'nsec3param' configuration for the number of iterations. The
maximum number of iterations that are allowed are based on the key
size (see https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5155#section-10.3).
Check 'nsec3param' configuration for correct salt. If the string is
not "-" or hex-based, this is a bad salt.
Implement support for NSEC3 in dnssec-policy. Store the configuration
in kasp objects. When configuring a zone, call 'dns_zone_setnsec3param'
to queue an nsec3param event. This will ensure that any previous
chains will be removed and a chain according to the dnssec-policy is
created.
Add tests for dnssec-policy zones that uses the new 'nsec3param'
option, as well as changing to new values, changing to NSEC, and
changing from NSEC.
cppcheck 2.2 reports the following false positive:
lib/dns/dispatch.c:1239:14: warning: Either the condition 'resp==NULL' is redundant or there is possible null pointer dereference: resp. [nullPointerRedundantCheck]
if (disp != resp->disp) {
^
lib/dns/dispatch.c:1210:11: note: Assuming that condition 'resp==NULL' is not redundant
if (resp == NULL) {
^
lib/dns/dispatch.c:1239:14: note: Null pointer dereference
if (disp != resp->disp) {
^
Apparently this version of cppcheck gets confused about conditional
"goto" statements because line 1239 can never be reached if 'resp' is
NULL.
Move a code block to prevent the above false positive from being
reported without affecting the processing logic.
Before this update, BIND would attempt to do a full recursive resolution
process for each query received if the requested rrset had its ttl
expired. If the resolution fails for any reason, only then BIND would
check for stale rrset in cache (if 'stale-cache-enable' and
'stale-answer-enable' is on).
The problem with this approach is that if an authoritative server is
unreachable or is failing to respond, it is very unlikely that the
problem will be fixed in the next seconds.
A better approach to improve performance in those cases, is to mark the
moment in which a resolution failed, and if new queries arrive for that
same rrset, try to respond directly from the stale cache, and do that
for a window of time configured via 'stale-refresh-time'.
Only when this interval expires we then try to do a normal refresh of
the rrset.
The logic behind this commit is as following:
- In query.c / query_gotanswer(), if the test of 'result' variable falls
to the default case, an error is assumed to have happened, and a call
to 'query_usestale()' is made to check if serving of stale rrset is
enabled in configuration.
- If serving of stale answers is enabled, a flag will be turned on in
the query context to look for stale records:
query.c:6839
qctx->client->query.dboptions |= DNS_DBFIND_STALEOK;
- A call to query_lookup() will be made again, inside it a call to
'dns_db_findext()' is made, which in turn will invoke rbdb.c /
cache_find().
- In rbtdb.c / cache_find() the important bits of this change is the
call to 'check_stale_header()', which is a function that yields true
if we should skip the stale entry, or false if we should consider it.
- In check_stale_header() we now check if the DNS_DBFIND_STALEOK option
is set, if that is the case we know that this new search for stale
records was made due to a failure in a normal resolution, so we keep
track of the time in which the failured occured in rbtdb.c:4559:
header->last_refresh_fail_ts = search->now;
- In check_stale_header(), if DNS_DBFIND_STALEOK is not set, then we
know this is a normal lookup, if the record is stale and the query
time is between last failure time + stale-refresh-time window, then
we return false so cache_find() knows it can consider this stale
rrset entry to return as a response.
The last additions are two new methods to the database interface:
- setservestale_refresh
- getservestale_refresh
Those were added so rbtdb can be aware of the value set in configuration
option, since in that level we have no access to the view object.
there were two failures during observed in testing, both occurring
when 'rndc halt' was run rather than 'rndc stop' - the latter dumps
zone contents to disk and presumably introduced enough delay to
prevent the races:
- a failure when the zone was shut down and called dns_xfrin_detach()
before the xfrin had finished connecting; the connect timeout
terminated without detaching its handle
- a failure when the tcpdns socket timer fired after the outerhandle
had already been cleared.
this commit incidentally addresses a failure observed in mutexatomic
due to a variable having been initialized incorrectly.
This commit extends the perl Configure script to also check for libssl
in addition to libcrypto and change the vcxproj source files to link
with both libcrypto and libssl.
Previously, the xfrin object relied on four different reference counters
(`refs`, `connects`, `sends`, `recvs`) and destroyed the xfrin object
only if all of them were zero. This commit reduces the reference
counting only to the `references` (renamed from `refs`) counter. We
keep the existing `connects`, `sends` and `recvs` as safe guards, but
they are not formally needed.
since the network manager is now handling timeouts, xfrin doesn't
need an isc_task object.
it may be necessary to revert this later if we find that it's
important for zone_xfrdone() to be executed in the zone task context.
currently things seem to be working well without that, though.
DNS_R_NCACHENXRRSET can be return when zones are in transition state
from being unsigned to signed and signed to unsigned. The validation
should be resumed and should result in a insecure answer.
While libltdl is a feature-rich library, BIND 9 code only uses its basic
capabilities, which are also provided by libuv and which BIND 9 already
uses for other purposes. As libuv's cross-platform shared library
handling interface is modeled after the POSIX dlopen() interface,
converting code using the latter to the former is simple. Replace
libltdl function calls with their libuv counterparts, refactoring the
code as necessary. Remove all use of libltdl from the BIND 9 source
tree.
The cleanup code that would clean the object after plugin/dlz/dyndb
loading has failed was duplicating the destructor for the object, so
instead of the extra code, we just use the destructor instead.
Make sure an error gets logged when any lt_dlopen() call in the source
tree fails. Also make sure that NULL values returned by lt_dlerror()
are replaced with a generic error message to prevent passing NULL as an
argument for the %s format specifier.
The redundant lt_dlerror() calls were taken from the examples to clean
any previous errors from lt_dl...() calls. However upon code
inspection, it was discovered there are no such paths that could cause
the lt_dlerror() to return spurious error messages.
Stub zones don't make use of AXFR/IXFR for the transfering of zone
data, instead, a single query is issued to the master asking for
their nameserver records (NS).
That works fine unless master is configured with 'minimal-responses'
set to yes, in which case glue records are not provided by master
in the answer with nameservers authoritative for the zone, leaving
stub zones with incomplete databases.
This commit fix this problem in a simple way, when the answer with
the authoritative nameservers is received from master (stub_callback),
for each nameserver listed (save_nsrrset), a A and AAAA records for
the name is verified in the additional section, and if not present
a query is created to resolve the corresponsing missing glue.
A struct 'stub_cb_args' was added to keep relevant information for
performing a query, like TSIG key, udp size, dscp value, etc, this
information is borrowed from, and created within function 'ns_query',
where the resolving of nameserver from master starts.
A new field was added to the struct 'dns_stub', an atomic integer,
namely pending_requests, which is used to keep how many queries are
created when resolving nameserver addresses that were missing in
the glue.
When the value of pending_requests is zero we know we can release
resources, adjust zone timers, dump to zone file, etc.
The DNS Flag Day 2020 aims to remove the IP fragmentation problem from
the UDP DNS communication. In this commit, we implement the required
changes and simplify the logic for picking the EDNS Buffer Size.
1. The defaults for `edns-udp-size`, `max-udp-size` and
`nocookie-udp-size` have been changed to `1232` (the value picked by
DNS Flag Day 2020).
2. The probing heuristics that would try 512->4096->1432->1232 buffer
sizes has been removed and the resolver will always use just the
`edns-udp-size` value.
3. Instead of just disabling the PMTUD mechanism on the UDP sockets, we
now set IP_DONTFRAG (IPV6_DONTFRAG) flag. That means that the UDP
packets won't get ever fragmented. If the ICMP packets are lost the
UDP will just timeout and eventually be retried over TCP.
While working on 'rndc dnssec -rollover' I noticed the following
(small) issues:
- The key files where updated with hints set to "-when" and that
should always be "now.
- The kasp system test did not properly update the test number when
calling 'rndc dnssec -checkds' (and ensuring that works).
- There was a missing ']' in the rndc.c help output.
