(CVE-2021-25214) + + ISC would like to thank Greg Kuechle of SaskTel for bringing this + vulnerability to our attention. :gl:`#2467` + +- ``named`` crashed when a DNAME record placed in the ANSWER section + during DNAME chasing turned out to be the final answer to a client + query. (CVE-2021-25215) + + ISC would like to thank `Siva Kakarla`_ for bringing this + vulnerability to our attention. :gl:`#2540` + +.. _Siva Kakarla: https://github.com/sivakesava1 + +- When a server's configuration set the ``tkey-gssapi-keytab`` or + ``tkey-gssapi-credential`` option, a specially crafted GSS-TSIG query + could cause a buffer overflow in the ISC implementation of SPNEGO (a + protocol enabling negotiation of the security mechanism used for + GSSAPI authentication). This flaw could be exploited to crash + ``named`` binaries compiled for 64-bit platforms, and could enable + remote code execution when ``named`` was compiled for 32-bit + platforms. (CVE-2021-25216) + + This vulnerability was reported to us as ZDI-CAN-13347 by Trend Micro + Zero Day Initiative. :gl:`#2604` + +Feature Changes +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +- The ISC implementation of SPNEGO was removed from BIND 9 source code. + Instead, BIND 9 now always uses the SPNEGO implementation provided by + the system GSSAPI library when it is built with GSSAPI support. All + major contemporary Kerberos/GSSAPI libraries contain an implementation + of the SPNEGO mechanism. :gl:`#2607` + +- The default value for the ``stale-answer-client-timeout`` option was + changed from ``1800`` (ms) to ``off``. The default value may be + changed again in future releases as this feature matures. :gl:`#2608` + +Bug Fixes +~~~~~~~~~ + +- TCP idle and initial timeouts were being incorrectly applied: only the + ``tcp-initial-timeout`` was applied on the whole connection, even if + the connection were still active, which could prevent a large zone + transfer from being sent back to the client. The default setting for + ``tcp-initial-timeout`` was 30 seconds, which meant that any TCP + connection taking more than 30 seconds was abruptly terminated. This + has been fixed. :gl:`#2583` + +- When ``stale-answer-client-timeout`` was set to a positive value and + recursion for a client query completed when ``named`` was about to + look for a stale answer, an assertion could fail in + ``query_respond()``, resulting in a crash. This has been fixed. + :gl:`#2594` + +- If zone journal files written by BIND 9.16.11 or earlier were present + when BIND was upgraded to BIND 9.16.13 or BIND 9.16.14, the zone file + for that zone could have been inadvertently rewritten with the current + zone contents. This caused the original zone file structure (e.g. + comments, ``$INCLUDE`` directives) to be lost, although the zone data + itself was preserved. :gl:`#2623` + +- After upgrading to BIND 9.16.13, journal files for trust anchor + databases (e.g. ``managed-keys.bind.jnl``) could be left in a corrupt + state. (Other zone journal files were not affected.) This has been + fixed. If a corrupt journal file is detected, ``named`` can now + recover from it. :gl:`#2600` + +- When sending queries over TCP, ``dig`` now properly handles ``+tries=1 + +retry=0`` by not retrying the connection when the remote server + closes the connection prematurely. :gl:`#2490` + +- CDS/CDNSKEY DELETE records are now removed when a zone transitions + from a secure to an insecure state. ``named-checkzone`` also no longer + reports an error when such records are found in an unsigned zone. + :gl:`#2517` + +- Zones using KASP could not be thawed after they were frozen using + ``rndc freeze``. This has been fixed. :gl:`#2523` + +- After ``rndc checkds -checkds`` or ``rndc dnssec -rollover`` is used, + ``named`` now immediately attempts to reconfigure zone keys. This + change prevents unnecessary key rollover delays. :gl:`#2488` + +- Previously, a memory leak could occur when ``named`` failed to bind a + UDP socket to a network interface. This has been fixed. :gl:`#2575` + +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. |
