Notes for BIND 9.16.37
----------------------
Security Fixes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- An UPDATE message flood could cause :iscman:`named` to exhaust all
available memory. This flaw was addressed by adding a new
``update-quota`` option that controls the maximum number of
outstanding DNS UPDATE messages that :iscman:`named` can hold in a
queue at any given time (default: 100). :cve:`2022-3094`
ISC would like to thank Rob Schulhof from Infoblox for bringing this
vulnerability to our attention. :gl:`#3523`
- :iscman:`named` could crash with an assertion failure when an RRSIG
query was received and ``stale-answer-client-timeout`` was set to a
non-zero value. This has been fixed. :cve:`2022-3736`
ISC would like to thank Borja Marcos from Sarenet (with assistance by
Iratxe Niño from Fundación Sarenet) for bringing this vulnerability to
our attention. :gl:`#3622`
- :iscman:`named` running as a resolver with the
``stale-answer-client-timeout`` option set to any value greater than
``0`` could crash with an assertion failure, when the
``recursive-clients`` soft quota was reached. This has been fixed.
:cve:`2022-3924`
ISC would like to thank Maksym Odinintsev from AWS for bringing this
vulnerability to our attention. :gl:`#3619`
New Features
~~~~~~~~~~~~
- The new ``update-quota`` option can be used to control the number of
simultaneous DNS UPDATE messages that can be processed to update an
authoritative zone on a primary server, or forwarded to the primary
server by a secondary server. The default is 100. A new statistics
counter has also been added to record events when this quota is
exceeded, and the version numbers for the XML and JSON statistics
schemas have been updated. :gl:`#3523`
Feature Changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- The Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) feature in BIND has been
deprecated. Configuring DSCP values in ``named.conf`` now causes a
warning to be logged. Note that this feature has only been partly
operational since the new Network Manager was introduced in BIND
9.16.0. :gl:`#3773`
- The catalog zone implementation has been optimized to work with
hundreds of thousands of member zones. :gl:`#3744`
Bug Fixes
~~~~~~~~~
- In certain query resolution scenarios (e.g. when following CNAME
records), :iscman:`named` configured to answer from stale cache could
return a SERVFAIL response despite a usable, non-stale answer being
present in the cache. This has been fixed. :gl:`#3678`
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
BIND 9 branch.
