Notes for BIND 9.18.19
----------------------
Security Fixes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- None.
New Features
~~~~~~~~~~~~
- None.
Removed Features
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- The :any:`dnssec-must-be-secure` option has been deprecated and will be
removed in a future release. :gl:`#4263`
Feature Changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- None.
- Make :iscman:`nsupdate` honor the ``-v`` option. If set, and the server is
specified, SOA queries are now send over TCP as well. :gl:`#1181`
Bug Fixes
~~~~~~~~~
- The value of If-Modified-Since header in statistics channel was not checked
for length leading to possible buffer overflow by an authorized user. We
would like to emphasize that statistics channel must be properly setup to
allow access only from authorized users of the system. :gl:`#4124`
This issue was reported independently by Eric Sesterhenn of X41 D-SEC and
Cameron Whitehead.
- The value of Content-Length header in statistics channel was not
bound checked and negative or large enough value could lead to
overflow and assertion failure. :gl:`#4125`
This issue was reported by Eric Sesterhenn of X41 D-SEC.
- Address memory leaks due to not clearing OpenSSL error stack. :gl:`#4159`
This issue was reported by Eric Sesterhenn of X41 D-SEC.
- Following the introduction of krb5-subdomain-self-rhs and
ms-subdomain-self-rhs update rules, removal of nonexistent PTR
and SRV records via UPDATE could fail. This has been fixed. :gl:`#4280`
- The value of :any:`stale-refresh-time` was set to zero after ``rndc flush``.
This has been fixed. :gl:`#4278`
- BIND could consume more memory than it needs. That has been fixed by
using specialised jemalloc memory arenas dedicated to sending buffers. It
allowed us to optimize the process of returning memory pages back to
the operating system. :gl:`#4038`
Known Issues
~~~~~~~~~~~~
- There are no new known issues with this release. See :ref:`above
<relnotes_known_issues>` for a list of all known issues affecting this
