+
+ <p>
+ Versions of BIND 9 up to and including BIND 9.6 had a bug causing
+ HMAC-SHA* TSIG keys which were longer than the digest length of the
+ hash algorithm (i.e., SHA1 keys longer than 160 bits, SHA256 keys
+ longer than 256 bits, etc) to be used incorrectly, generating a
+ message authentication code that was incompatible with other DNS
+ implementations.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ This bug was fixed in BIND 9.7. However, the fix may
+ cause incompatibility between older and newer versions of
+ BIND, when using long keys. <span class="command"><strong>isc-hmac-fixup</strong></span>
+ modifies those keys to restore compatibility.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ To modify a key, run <span class="command"><strong>isc-hmac-fixup</strong></span> and
+ specify the key's algorithm and secret on the command line. If the
+ secret is longer than the digest length of the algorithm (64 bytes
+ for SHA1 through SHA256, or 128 bytes for SHA384 and SHA512), then a
+ new secret will be generated consisting of a hash digest of the old
+ secret. (If the secret did not require conversion, then it will be
+ printed without modification.)
+ </p>
+ </div>
+
+ <div class="refsection">
+<a name="id-1.14.34.8"></a><h2>SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS</h2>
+
+ <p>
+ Secrets that have been converted by <span class="command"><strong>isc-hmac-fixup</strong></span>
+ are shortened, but as this is how the HMAC protocol works in
+ operation anyway, it does not affect security. RFC 2104 notes,
+ "Keys longer than [the digest length] are acceptable but the
+ extra length would not significantly increase the function
+ strength."
