Notes for BIND 9.16.7 --------------------- New Features ~~~~~~~~~~~~ - Add a new ``rndc`` command, ``rndc dnssec -checkds``, which signals to ``named`` that a DS record for a given zone or key has been published or withdrawn from the parent. This command replaces the time-based ``parent-registration-delay`` configuration option. :gl:`#1613` - Log when ``named`` adds a CDS/CDNSKEY to the zone. :gl:`#1748` Bug Fixes ~~~~~~~~~ - In rare circumstances, ``named`` would exit with an assertion failure when the number of nodes stored in the red-black tree exceeded the maximum allowed size of the internal hash table. :gl:`#2104` - Silence spurious system log messages for an EPROTO(71) error code that was seen on older operating systems, where unhandled ICMPv6 errors resulted in a generic protocol error being returned instead of a more specific error code. :gl:`#1928` - With query name minimization enabled, ``named`` failed to resolve ``ip6.arpa.`` names that had extra labels to the left of the IPv6 part. For example, when ``named`` attempted query name minimization on a name like ``A.B.1.2.3.4.(...).ip6.arpa.``, it stopped at the leftmost IPv6 label, i.e. ``1.2.3.4.(...).ip6.arpa.``, without considering the extra labels (``A.B``). That caused a query loop when resolving the name: if ``named`` received NXDOMAIN answers, then the same query was repeatedly sent until the number of queries sent reached the value of the ``max-recursion-queries`` configuration option. :gl:`#1847` - Parsing of LOC records was made more strict by rejecting a sole period (``.``) and/or ``m`` as a value. These changes prevent zone files using such values from being loaded. Handling of negative altitudes which are not integers was also corrected. :gl:`#2074` - Several problems found by `OSS-Fuzz`_ were fixed. (None of these are security issues.) :gl:`!3953` :gl:`!3975` Known Issues ~~~~~~~~~~~~ - There are no new known issues with this release. See :ref:`above ` for a list of all known issues affecting this BIND 9 branch. .. _OSS-Fuzz: https://github.com/google/oss-fuzz
