<a name="root_key"></a>New DNSSEC Root Key</h3></div></div></div>
<p>
ICANN is in the process of introducing a new Key Signing Key (KSK) for
the global root zone. BIND has multiple methods for managing DNSSEC
trust anchors, with somewhat different behaviors. If the root
key is configured using the <span class="command"><strong>managed-keys</strong></span>
statement, or if the pre-configured root key is enabled by using
<span class="command"><strong>dnssec-validation auto</strong></span>, then BIND can keep
keys up to date automatically. Servers configured in this way
will roll seamlessly to the new key when it is published in
the root zone. However, keys configured using the
<span class="command"><strong>trusted-keys</strong></span> statement are not automatically
maintained. If your server is performing DNSSEC validation
and is configured using <span class="command"><strong>trusted-keys</strong></span>, you are
advised to change your configuration before the root zone begins
signing with the new KSK. This is currently scheduled for
October 11, 2017.
</p>
<p>
This release includes an updated version of the
<code class="filename">bind.keys</code> file containing the new root
key. This file can also be downloaded from

An error in TSIG handling could permit unauthorized zone
transfers or zone updates. These flaws are disclosed in
CVE-2017-3142 and CVE-2017-3143. [RT #45383]

The BIND installer on Windows used an unquoted service path,
which can enable privilege escalation. This flaw is disclosed
in CVE-2017-3141. [RT #45229]

With certain RPZ configurations, a response with TTL 0
could cause <span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span> to go into an infinite
query loop. This flaw is disclosed in CVE-2017-3140.

<span class="command"><strong>dig +ednsopt</strong></span> now accepts the names
for EDNS options in addition to numeric values. For example,
an EDNS Client-Subnet option could be sent using
<span class="command"><strong>dig +ednsopt=ecs:...</strong></span>. Thanks to
John Worley of Secure64 for the contribution. [RT #44461]

<li class="listitem">
<p>
Threads in <span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span> are now set to human-readable
names to assist debugging on operating systems that support that.
Threads will have names such as "isc-timer", "isc-sockmgr",
"isc-worker0001", and so on. This will affect the reporting of
subsidiary thread names in <span class="command"><strong>ps</strong></span> and
<span class="command"><strong>top</strong></span>, but not the main thread. [RT #43234]
