<a name="relnotes_license"></a>License Change</h3></div></div></div>
<p>
With the release of BIND 9.11.0, ISC changed to the open
source license for BIND from the ISC license to the Mozilla
Public License (MPL 2.0).
</p>
<p>
The MPL-2.0 license requires that if you make changes to
licensed software (e.g. BIND) and distribute them outside
your organization, that you publish those changes under that
same license. It does not require that you publish or disclose
anything other than the changes you made to our software.
</p>
<p>
This requirement will not affect anyone who is using BIND, with
or without modifications, without redistributing it, nor anyone
redistributing it without changes. Therefore, this change will be
without consequence for most individuals and organizations who are
using BIND.
</p>
<p>
Those unsure whether or not the license change affects their
use of BIND, or who wish to discuss how to comply with the
license may contact ISC at <a class="link" href="https://www.isc.org/mission/contact/" target="_top">
https://www.isc.org/mission/contact/</a>.

</div>
<div class="section">
<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">
<a name="win_support"></a>Legacy Windows No Longer Supported</h3></div></div></div>
<p>
As of BIND 9.11.2, Windows XP and Windows 2003 are no longer supported
platforms for BIND; "XP" binaries are no longer available for download
from ISC.

<span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span> could crash during recursive processing
of DNAME records when <span class="command"><strong>deny-answer-aliases</strong></span> was
in use. This flaw is disclosed in CVE-2018-5740. [GL #387]
</p>
</li>
<li class="listitem">
<p>
When recursion is enabled but the <span class="command"><strong>allow-recursion</strong></span>
and <span class="command"><strong>allow-query-cache</strong></span> ACLs are not specified, they
should be limited to local networks, but they were inadvertently set
to match the default <span class="command"><strong>allow-query</strong></span>, thus allowing
remote queries. This flaw is disclosed in CVE-2018-5738. [GL #309]
</p>
</li>
<li class="listitem">
<p>
Code change #4964, intended to prevent double signatures
when deleting an inactive zone DNSKEY in some situations,
introduced a new problem during zone processing in which
some delegation glue RRsets are incorrectly identified
as needing RRSIGs, which are then created for them using
the current active ZSK for the zone. In some, but not all
cases, the newly-signed RRsets are added to the zone's
NSEC/NSEC3 chain, but incompletely -- this can result in
a broken chain, affecting validation of proof of nonexistence
for records in the zone. [GL #771]
</p>
</li>
<li class="listitem">
<p>
<span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span> could crash if it managed a DNSSEC
security root with <span class="command"><strong>managed-keys</strong></span> and the
authoritative zone rolled the key to an algorithm not supported
by BIND 9. This flaw is disclosed in CVE-2018-5745. [GL #780]
</p>
</li>
<li class="listitem">
<p>
<span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span> leaked memory when processing a
request with multiple Key Tag EDNS options present. ISC
would like to thank Toshifumi Sakaguchi for bringing this
to our attention. This flaw is disclosed in CVE-2018-5744.
[GL #772]
</p>

<li class="listitem">
<p>
Zone transfer controls for writable DLZ zones were not
effective as the <span class="command"><strong>allowzonexfr</strong></span> method was
not being called for such zones. This flaw is disclosed in
CVE-2019-6465. [GL #790]

<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; ">
<li class="listitem">
<p>
<span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span> now supports the "root key sentinel"
mechanism. This enables validating resolvers to indicate
which trust anchors are configured for the root, so that
information about root key rollover status can be gathered.
To disable this feature, add
<span class="command"><strong>root-key-sentinel no;</strong></span> to
<code class="filename">named.conf</code>.
</p>
</li>
<li class="listitem">
<p>
Added the ability not to return a DNS COOKIE option when one
is present in the request. To prevent a cookie being returned,
add <span class="command"><strong>answer-cookie no;</strong></span> to
<code class="filename">named.conf</code>. [GL #173]
</p>
<p>
<span class="command"><strong>answer-cookie no</strong></span> is only intended as a
temporary measure, for use when <span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span>
shares an IP address with other servers that do not yet
support DNS COOKIE. A mismatch between servers on the
same address is not expected to cause operational problems,
but the option to disable COOKIE responses so that all
servers have the same behavior is provided out of an
abundance of caution. DNS COOKIE is an important security
mechanism, and should not be disabled unless absolutely
necessary.
</p>
</li>
<li class="listitem">
<p>
Two new update policy rule types have been added
<span class="command"><strong>krb5-selfsub</strong></span> and <span class="command"><strong>ms-selfsub</strong></span>
which allow machines with Kerberos principals to update
the name space at or below the machine names identified
in the respective principals.

Multiple <span class="command"><strong>cookie-secret</strong></span> clause are now
supported. The first <span class="command"><strong>cookie-secret</strong></span> in

The <span class="command"><strong>rndc nta</strong></span> command could not differentiate

When a negative trust anchor was added to multiple views
using <span class="command"><strong>rndc nta</strong></span>, the text returned via
<span class="command"><strong>rndc</strong></span> was incorrectly truncated after the
first line, making it appear that only one NTA had been
added. This has been fixed. [GL #105]
</p>
</li>
<li class="listitem">
<p>
<span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span> now rejects excessively large
incremental (IXFR) zone transfers in order to prevent
possible corruption of journal files which could cause
<span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span> to abort when loading zones. [GL #339]
