BIND 9.7.0 is now available.
Overview:
BIND 9.7 includes a number of changes from BIND 9.6 and earlier
releases. Most are intended to simplify DNSSEC configuration
and operation.
New features include:
- Fully automatic signing of zones by "named".
- Simplified configuration of DNSSEC Lookaside Validation (DLV).
- Simplified configuration of Dynamic DNS, using the "ddns-confgen"
command line tool or the "local" update-policy option. (As a side
effect, this also makes it easier to configure automatic zone
re-signing.)
- New named option "attach-cache" that allows multiple views to
share a single cache.
- DNS rebinding attack prevention.
- New default values for dnssec-keygen parameters.
- Support for RFC 5011 automated trust anchor maintenance
- Smart signing: simplified tools for zone signing and key
maintenance.
- The "statistics-channels" option is now available on Windows.
- A new DNSSEC-aware libdns API for use by non-BIND9 applications
- On some platforms, named and other binaries can now print out
a stack backtrace on assertion failure, to aid in debugging.
- A "tools only" installation mode on Windows, which only installs
dig, host, nslookup and nsupdate.
- Improved PKCS#11 support, including Keyper support and explicit
OpenSSL engine selection.
Known issues in this release:
- A validating resolver that has been incorrectly configured with
an invalid trust anchor will be unable to resolve names covered
by that trust anchor. In all current versions of BIND 9, such a
resolver will also generate significant unnecessary DNS traffic
while trying to validate. The latter problem will be addressed
in future BIND 9 releases. In the meantime, to avoid these
problems, exercise caution when configuring "trusted-keys": make
sure all keys are correct and current when you add them, and
update your configuration in a timely manner when keys roll over.
- In rare cases, DNSSEC validation can leak memory. When this
happens, it will cause an assertion failure when named exits,
but is otherwise harmless. A fix exists, but was too late for
this release; it will be included in BIND 9.7.1.
Compatibility notes:
- If you had built BIND 9.6 with any of ALLOW_NSEC3PARAM_UPDATE,
ALLOW_SECURE_TO_INSECURE or ALLOW_INSECURE_TO_SECURE defined, then
you should ensure that all changes that are in progress have
completed prior to upgrading to BIND 9.7. BIND 9.7 implements
those features in a way which is not backwards compatible.
- Prior releases had a bug which caused HMAC-SHA* keys with long
secrets to be used incorrectly. Fixing this bug means that older
versions of BIND 9 may fail to interoperate with this version
when using TSIG keys. If this occurs, the new "isc-hmac-fixup"
tool will convert a key with a long secret into a form that works
correctly with all versions of BIND 9. See the "isc-hmac-fixup"
man page for additional details.
- Revoking a DNSSEC key with "dnssec-revoke" changes its key ID.
It is possible for the new key ID to collide with that of a
different key. Newly generated keys will not have this problem,
as "dnssec-keygen" looks for potential collisions before
generating keys, but exercise caution if using key revokation
with keys that were generated by older versions of BIND 9. See
the Administrator's Reference Manual, section 4.10 ("Dynamic
Trust Anchor Management") for more details.
- A bug was fixed in which a key's scheduled inactivity date was
stored incorectly. Users who participated in the 9.7.0 BETA test
and had DNSSEC keys with scheduled inactivity dates will need to
reset those keys' dates using "dnssec-settime -I".

Changes since 9.7.0a1:
--- 9.7.0 released ---
2849. [bug] Don't treat errors from the xml2 library as fatal.
[RT #20945]
2848. [doc] Moved README.dnssec, README.libdns, README.pkcs11 and
README.rfc5011 into the ARM. [RT #20899]
2847. [cleanup] Corrected usage message in dnssec-settime. [RT #20921]
2846. [bug] EOF on unix domain sockets was not being handled
correctly. [RT #20731]
2845. [bug] RFC 5011 client could crash on shutdown. [RT #20903]
2844. [doc] notify-delay default in ARM was wrong. It should have
been five (5) seconds.
--- 9.7.0rc2 released ---
2843. [func] Prevent dnssec-keygen and dnssec-keyfromlabel from
creating key files if there is a chance that the new
key ID will collide with an existing one after
either of the keys has been revoked. (To override
this in the case of dnssec-keyfromlabel, use the -y
option. dnssec-keygen will simply create a
different, noncolliding key, so an override is
not necessary.) [RT #20838]
2842. [func] Added "smartsign" and improved "autosign" and
"dnssec" regression tests. [RT #20865]
2841. [bug] Change 2836 was not complete. [RT #20883]
2840. [bug] Temporary fixed pkcs11-destroy usage check.
[RT #20760]
2839. [bug] A KSK revoked by named could not be deleted.
[RT #20881]
2838. [placeholder]
2837. [port] Prevent Linux spurious warnings about fwrite().
[RT #20812]
2836. [bug] Keys that were scheduled to become active could
be delayed. [RT #20874]
2835. [bug] Key inactivity dates were inadvertently stored in
the private key file with the outdated tag
"Unpublish" rather than "Inactive". This has been
fixed; however, any existing keys that had Inactive
dates set will now need to have them reset, using
'dnssec-settime -I'. [RT #20868]
2834. [bug] HMAC-SHA* keys that were longer than the algorithm
digest length were used incorrectly, leading to
interoperability problems with other DNS
implementations. This has been corrected.
(Note: If an oversize key is in use, and
compatibility is needed with an older release of
BIND, the new tool "isc-hmac-fixup" can convert
the key secret to a form that will work with all
versions.) [RT #20751]
2833. [cleanup] Fix usage messages in dnssec-keygen and dnssec-settime.
[RT #20851]
2832. [bug] Modify "struct stat" in lib/export/samples/nsprobe.c
to avoid redefinition in some OSes [RT 20831]
2831. [security] Do not attempt to validate or cache
out-of-bailiwick data returned with a secure
answer; it must be re-fetched from its original
source and validated in that context. [RT #20819]
2830. [bug] Changing the OPTOUT setting could take multiple
passes. [RT #20813]
2829. [bug] Fixed potential node inconsistency in rbtdb.c.
[RT #20808]
2828. [security] Cached CNAME or DNAME RR could be returned to clients
without DNSSEC validation. [RT #20737]
2827. [security] Bogus NXDOMAIN could be cached as if valid. [RT #20712]
2826. [bug] NSEC3->NSEC transitions could fail due to a lock not
being released. [RT #20740]
2825. [bug] Changing the setting of OPTOUT in a NSEC3 chain that
was in the process of being created was not properly
recorded in the zone. [RT #20786]
2824. [bug] "rndc sign" was not being run by the correct task.
[RT #20759]
2823. [bug] rbtdb.c:getsigningtime() was missing locks. [RT #20781]
2822. [bug] rbtdb.c:loadnode() could return the wrong result.
[RT #20802]
2821. [doc] Add note that named-checkconf doesn't automatically
read rndc.key and bind.keys [RT #20758]
2819. [cleanup] Removed unnecessary DNS_POINTER_MAXHOPS define.
[RT #20771]

when a zone was not found. [RT #20767]
2817. [cleanup] Removed unnecessary isc_tasc_endexclusive() calls.
[RT #20768]
2816. [bug] previous_closest_nsec() could fail to return
data for NSEC3 nodes [RT #29730]
2815. [bug] Exclusively lock the task when freezing a zone.
[RT #19838]
2814. [func] Provide a definitive error message when a master
zone is not loaded. [RT #20757]
2813. [bug] Better handling of unreadable DNSSEC key files.
[RT #20710]
2812. [bug] Make sure updates can't result in a zone with
NSEC-only keys and NSEC3 records. [RT 20748]
2811. [cleanup] Add "rndc sign" to list of commands in rndc usage
output. [RT #20733]
2810. [doc] Clarified the process of transitioning an NSEC3 zone
to insecure. [RT #20746]
2809. [cleanup] Restored accidentally-deleted text in usage output
in dnssec-settime and dnssec-revoke [RT #20739]
2808. [bug] Remove the attempt to install atomic.h from lib/isc.
atomic.h is correctly installed by the architecture
specific subdirectories. [RT #20722]
2807. [bug] Fixed a possible ASSERT when reconfiguring zone
keys. [RT #20720]
--- 9.7.0rc1 released ---
2806. [bug] "rdnc sign" could delay re-signing the DNSKEY
when it had changed. [RT #20703]
2805. [bug] Fixed namespace problems encountered when building
external programs using non-exported BIND9 libraries
(i.e., built without --enable-exportlib). [RT #20679]
2804. [bug] Send notifies when a zone is signed with "rndc sign"
or as a result of a scheduled key change. [RT #20700]
2803. [port] win32: Install named-journalprint, nsec3hash, arpaname
and genrandom under windows. [RT #20670]
2802. [cleanup] Rename journalprint to named-journalprint. [RT #20670]
2801. [func] Detect and report records that are different according
to DNSSEC but are sematically equal according to plain
DNS. Apply plain DNS comparisons rather than DNSSEC
comparisons when processing UPDATE requests.
dnssec-signzone now removes such semantically duplicate
records prior to signing the RRset.
named-checkzone -r {ignore|warn|fail} (default warn)
named-compilezone -r {ignore|warn|fail} (default warn)
named.conf: check-dup-records {ignore|warn|fail};
2800. [func] Reject zones which have NS records which refer to
CNAMEs, DNAMEs or don't have address record (class IN
only). Reject UPDATEs which would cause the zone
to fail the above checks if committed. [RT #20678]
2799. [cleanup] Changed the "secure-to-insecure" option to
"dnssec-secure-to-insecure", and "dnskey-ksk-only"
to "dnssec-dnskey-kskonly", for clarity. [RT #20586]
2798. [bug] Addressed bugs in managed-keys initialization
and rollover. [RT #20683]
2797. [bug] Don't decrement the dispatch manager's maxbuffers.
[RT #20613]
2796. [bug] Missing dns_rdataset_disassociate() call in

options (if compiled in). [RT #20635]
2791. [bug] The installation of isc-config.sh was broken.
[RT #20667]
2790. [bug] Handle DS queries to stub zones. [RT #20440]
2789. [bug] Fixed an INSIST in dispatch.c [RT #20576]
2788. [bug] dnssec-signzone could sign with keys that were
not requested [RT #20625]
2787. [bug] Spurious log message when zone keys were
dynamically reconfigured. [RT #20659]
2786. [bug] Additional could be promoted to answer. [RT #20663]
--- 9.7.0b3 released ---
2785. [bug] Revoked keys could fail to self-sign [RT #20652]
2784. [bug] TC was not always being set when required glue was
dropped. [RT #20655]
2783. [func] Return minimal responses to EDNS/UDP queries with a UDP
buffer size of 512 or less. [RT #20654]
2782. [port] win32: use getaddrinfo() for hostname lookups.
[RT #20650]
2781. [bug] Inactive keys could be used for signing. [RT #20649]
2780. [bug] dnssec-keygen -A none didn't properly unset the
activation date in all cases. [RT #20648]
2779. [bug] Dynamic key revokation could fail. [RT #20644]
2778. [bug] dnssec-signzone could fail when a key was revoked
without deleting the unrevoked version. [RT #20638]
2777. [contrib] DLZ MYSQL auto reconnect support discovery was wrong.
2776. [bug] Change #2762 was not correct. [RT #20647]
2775. [bug] Accept RSASHA256 and RSASHA512 as NSEC3 compatible
in dnssec-keyfromlabel. [RT #20643]
2774. [bug] Existing cache DB wasn't being reused after
reconfiguration. [RT #20629]
2773. [bug] In autosigned zones, the SOA could be signed
with the KSK. [RT #20628]
2772. [security] When validating, track whether pending data was from
the additional section or not and only return it if
validates as secure. [RT #20438]
2771. [bug] dnssec-signzone: DNSKEY records could be
corrupted when importing from key files [RT #20624]
2770. [cleanup] Add log messages to resolver.c to indicate events
causing FORMERR responses. [RT #20526]
2769. [cleanup] Change #2742 was incomplete. [RT #19589]
2768. [bug] dnssec-signzone: -S no longer implies -g [RT #20568]
2767. [bug] named could crash on startup if a zone was
configured with auto-dnssec and there was no
key-directory. [RT #20615]
2766. [bug] isc_socket_fdwatchpoke() should only update the
socketmgr state if the socket is not pending on a
read or write. [RT #20603]
2765. [bug] Skip masters for which the TSIG key cannot be found.
[RT #20595]
2764. [bug] "rndc-confgen -a" could trigger a REQUIRE. [RT #20610]
2763. [bug] "rndc sign" didn't create an NSEC chain. [RT #20591]
2762. [bug] DLV validation failed with a local slave DLV zone.
[RT #20577]
2761. [cleanup] Enable internal symbol table for backtrace only for
systems that are known to work. Currently, BSD
variants, Linux and Solaris are supported. [RT# 20202]
2760. [cleanup] Corrected named-compilezone usage summary. [RT #20533]
2759. [doc] Add information about .jbk/.jnw files to
the ARM. [RT #20303]
2758. [bug] win32: Added a workaround for a windows 2008 bug
that could cause the UDP client handler to shut
down. [RT #19176]
2757. [bug] dig: assertion failure could occur in connect
timeout. [RT #20599]
2756. [bug] Fixed corrupt logfile message in update.c. [RT# 20597]

for NSEC3 signed zones. [RT #20452]
2748. [func] Identify bad answers from GTLD servers and treat them
as referrals. [RT #18884]
2747. [bug] Journal roll forwards failed to set the re-signing
time of RRSIGs correctly. [RT #20541]
2746. [port] hpux: address signed/unsigned expansion mismatch of
dns_rbtnode_t.nsec. [RT #20542]

validator.c. [RT #19589]
2741. [func] Allow the dnssec-keygen progress messages to be
suppressed (dnssec-keygen -q). Automatically
suppress the progress messages when stdin is not
a tty. [RT #20474]
2740. [placeholder]
2739. [cleanup] Clean up API for initializing and clearing trust
anchors for a view. [RT #20211]

test. [RT #20453]
2737. [func] UPDATE requests can leak existance information.
[RT #17261]
2736. [func] Improve the performance of NSEC signed zones with
more than a normal amount of glue below a delegation.
[RT #20191]
2735. [bug] dnssec-signzone could fail to read keys
that were specified on the command line with
full paths, but weren't in the current
directory. [RT #20421]
2734. [port] cygwin: arpaname did not compile. [RT #20473]
2733. [cleanup] Clean up coding style in pkcs11-* tools. [RT #20355]
2732. [func] Add optional filter-aaaa-on-v4 option, available
if built with './configure --enable-filter-aaaa'.
Filters out AAAA answers to clients connecting
via IPv4. (This is NOT recommended for general
use.) [RT #20339]
2731. [func] Additional work on change 2709. The key parser
will now ignore unrecognized fields when the
minor version number of the private key format
has been increased. It will reject any key with
the major version number increased. [RT #20310]
2730. [func] Have dnssec-keygen display a progress indication
a la 'openssl genrsa' on standard error. Note
when the first '.' is followed by a long stop
one has the choice between slow generation vs.
poor random quality, i.e., '-r /dev/urandom'.
[RT #20284]
2729. [func] When constructing a CNAME from a DNAME use the DNAME
TTL. [RT #20451]
2728. [bug] dnssec-keygen, dnssec-keyfromlabel and
dnssec-signzone now warn immediately if asked to
write into a nonexistent directory. [RT #20278]
2727. [func] The 'key-directory' option can now specify a relative
path. [RT #20154]
2726. [func] Added support for SHA-2 DNSSEC algorithms,
RSASHA256 and RSASHA512. [RT #20023]
2725. [doc] Added information about the file "managed-keys.bind"
to the ARM. [RT #20235]
2724. [bug] Updates to a existing node in secure zone using NSEC
were failing. [RT #20448]
2723. [bug] isc_base32_totext(), isc_base32hex_totext(), and
isc_base64_totext(), didn't always mark regions of
memory as fully consumed after conversion. [RT #20445]
2722. [bug] Ensure that the memory associated with the name of
a node in a rbt tree is not altered during the life
of the node. [RT #20431]
2721. [port] Have dst__entropy_status() prime the random number
generator. [RT #20369]
2720. [bug] RFC 5011 trust anchor updates could trigger an
assert if the DNSKEY record was unsigned. [RT #20406]
2719. [func] Skip trusted/managed keys for unsupported algorithms.
[RT #20392]
2718. [bug] The space calculations in opensslrsa_todns() were
incorrect. [RT #20394]
2717. [bug] named failed to update the NSEC/NSEC3 record when
the last private type record was removed as a result
of completing the signing the zone with a key.
[RT #20399]
2716. [bug] nslookup debug mode didn't return the ttl. [RT #20414]
--- 9.7.0b1 released ---
2715. [bug] Require OpenSSL support to be explicitly disabled.
[RT #20288]
2714. [port] aix/powerpc: 'asm("ics");' needs non standard assembler
flags.
2713. [bug] powerpc: atomic operations missing asm("ics") /
__isync() calls.
2712. [func] New 'auto-dnssec' zone option allows zone signing
to be fully automated in zones configured for
dynamic DNS. 'auto-dnssec allow;' permits a zone
to be signed by creating keys for it in the
key-directory and using 'rndc sign <zone>'.
'auto-dnssec maintain;' allows that too, plus it
also keeps the zone's DNSSEC keys up to date
according to their timing metadata. [RT #19943]
2711. [port] win32: Add the bin/pkcs11 tools into the full
build. [RT #20372]
2710. [func] New 'dnssec-signzone -x' flag and 'dnskey-ksk-only'
zone option cause a zone to be signed with only KSKs
signing the DNSKEY RRset, not ZSKs. This reduces
the size of a DNSKEY answer. [RT #20340]
2709. [func] Added some data fields, currently unused, to the
private key file format, to allow implementation
of explicit key rollover in a future release
without impairing backward or forward compatibility.
[RT #20310]
2708. [func] Insecure to secure and NSEC3 parameter changes via
update are now fully supported and no longer require
defines to enable. We now no longer overload the
NSEC3PARAM flag field, nor the NSEC OPT bit at the
apex. Secure to insecure changes are controlled by
by the named.conf option 'secure-to-insecure'.
Warning: If you had previously enabled support by
adding defines at compile time to BIND 9.6 you should
ensure that all changes that are in progress have
completed prior to upgrading to BIND 9.7. BIND 9.7
is not backwards compatible.
2707. [func] dnssec-keyfromlabel no longer require engine name
to be specified in the label if there is a default
engine or the -E option has been used. Also, it
now uses default algorithms as dnssec-keygen does
(i.e., RSASHA1, or NSEC3RSASHA1 if -3 is used).
[RT #20371]
2706. [bug] Loading a zone with a very large NSEC3 salt could
trigger an assert. [RT #20368]
2705. [placeholder]
2704. [bug] Serial of dynamic and stub zones could be inconsistent
with their SOA serial. [RT #19387]
2703. [func] Introduce an OpenSSL "engine" argument with -E
for all binaries which can take benefit of
crypto hardware. [RT #20230]
2702. [func] Update PKCS#11 tools (bin/pkcs11) [RT #20225 & all]
2701. [doc] Correction to ARM: hmac-md5 is no longer the only
supported TSIG key algorithm. [RT #18046]
2700. [doc] The match-mapped-addresses option is discouraged.
[RT #12252]
2699. [bug] Missing lock in rbtdb.c. [RT #20037]
2698. [placeholder]
2697. [port] win32: ensure that S_IFMT, S_IFDIR, S_IFCHR and
S_IFREG are defined after including <isc/stat.h>.
[RT #20309]
2696. [bug] named failed to successfully process some valid
acl constructs. [RT #20308]
2695. [func] DHCP/DDNS - update fdwatch code for use by
DHCP. Modify the api to isc_sockfdwatch_t (the
callback funciton for isc_socket_fdwatchcreate)
to include information about the direction (read
or write) and add isc_socket_fdwatchpoke.
[RT #20253]
2694. [bug] Reduce default NSEC3 iterations from 100 to 10.

2691. [func] dnssec-signzone: retain the existing NSEC or NSEC3
chain when re-signing a previously-signed zone.
Use -u to modify NSEC3 parameters or switch

to decide to fetch the destination address. [RT #20305]
2687. [bug] Fixed dnssec-signzone -S handling of revoked keys.
Also, added warnings when revoking a ZSK, as this is
not defined by protocol (but is legal). [RT #19943]
2686. [bug] dnssec-signzone should clean the old NSEC chain when
signing with NSEC3 and vice versa. [RT #20301]

format. [RT #20031]
2678. [func] Treat DS queries as if "minimal-response yes;"
was set. [RT #20258]
2677. [func] Changes to key metadata behavior:
- Keys without "publish" or "active" dates set will
no longer be used for smart signing. However,
those dates will be set to "now" by default when
a key is created; to generate a key but not use
it yet, use dnssec-keygen -G.
- New "inactive" date (dnssec-keygen/settime -I)
sets the time when a key is no longer used for
signing but is still published.
- The "unpublished" date (-U) is deprecated in
favor of "deleted" (-D).
[RT #20247]

metadata fields 0 (to unset a value, use "none")
- dnssec-revoke sets the revocation date in
addition to the revoke bit

creating lwres context. [RT #20029]
2660. [func] Add a new set of DNS libraries for non-BIND9
applications. See README.libdns. [RT #19369]
2659. [doc] Clarify dnssec-keygen doc: key name must match zone
name for DNSSEC keys. [RT #19938]
2658. [bug] dnssec-settime and dnssec-revoke didn't process
key file paths correctly. [RT #20078]

2637. [func] Rationalize dnssec-signzone's signwithkey() calling.
[RT #19959]
2636. [func] Simplify zone signing and key maintenance with the

- all dnssec-* tools now take a -K option to
specify a directory in which key files will be
stored
- DNSSEC can now store metadata indicating when
they are scheduled to be published, activated,
revoked or removed; these values can be set by
dnssec-keygen or overwritten by the new
dnssec-settime command
- dnssec-signzone -S (for "smart") option reads key
metadata and uses it to determine automatically
which keys to publish to the zone, use for
signing, revoke, or remove from the zone
[RT #19816]
2635. [bug] isc_inet_ntop() incorrectly handled 0.0/16 addresses.

causes nsupdate to connect to a locally-running
named process using the session key generated
by named
[RT #19284]
2608. [func] Perform post signing verification checks in
dnssec-signzone. These can be disabled with -P.
The post sign verification test ensures that for each
algorithm in use there is at least one non revoked
self signed KSK key. That all revoked KSK keys are
self signed. That all records in the zone are signed
by the algorithm. [RT #19653]
2607. [bug] named could incorrectly delete NSEC3 records for
empty nodes when processing a update request.
[RT #19749]

2573. [bug] Replacing a non-CNAME record with a CNAME record in a
single transaction in a signed zone failed. [RT #19397]
2572. [func] Simplify DLV configuration, with a new option
"dnssec-lookaside auto;" This is the equivalent
of "dnssec-lookaside . trust-anchor dlv.isc.org;"
plus setting a trusted-key for dlv.isc.org.
Note: The trusted key is hard-coded into named,
but is also stored in (and can be overridden
by) $sysconfdir/bind.keys. As the ISC DLV key
rolls over it can be kept up to date by replacing
the bind.keys file with a key downloaded from
https://www.isc.org/solutions/dlv. [RT #18685]
