bind was updated to 9.8.4-P2 to fix security problems and bugs.

Security Fixes Removed the check for regex.h in configure in order to disable regex syntax checking, as it exposes BIND to a critical flaw in libregex on some platforms. [CVE-2013-2266] [RT #32688] https://kb.isc.org/article/AA-00871 (bnc#811876) Prevents named from aborting with a require assertion failure on servers with DNS64 enabled. These crashes might occur as a result of specific queries that are received. (Note that this fix is a subset of a series of updates that will be included in full in BIND 9.8.5 and 9.9.3 as change #3388, RT #30996). [CVE-2012-5688] [RT #30792] A deliberately constructed combination of records could cause named to hang while populating the additional section of a response. [CVE-2012-5166] [RT #31090] Prevents a named assert (crash) when queried for a record whose RDATA exceeds 65535 bytes [CVE-2012-4244] [RT #30416] Prevents a named assert (crash) when validating caused by using ‘Bad cache’ data before it has been initialized. [CVE-2012-3817] [RT #30025] A condition has been corrected where improper handling of zero-length RDATA could cause undesirable behavior, including termination of the named process. [CVE-2012-1667] [RT #29644] New Features Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm keys and signatures in DNSSEC are now supported per RFC 6605. [RT #21918] Feature Changes Improves OpenSSL error logging [RT #29932] nslookup now returns a nonzero exit code when it is unable to get an answer. [RT #29492] Bug Fixes Uses binary mode to open raw files on Windows. [RT #30944] Static-stub zones now accept ‘forward’ and ‘fowarders’ options (often needed for subdomains of the zone referenced to override global forwarding options). These options are already available with traditional stub zones and their omission from zones of type ‘static-stub’ was an inadvertent oversight. [RT #30482] Limits the TTL of signed RRsets in cache when their RRSIGs are approaching expiry. This prevents the persistence in cache of invalid RRSIGs in order to assist recovery from a situation where zone re-signing doesn’t occur in a timely manner. With this change, named will attempt to obtain new RRSIGs from the authoritative server once the original ones have expired, and even if the TTL of the old records would in other circumstances cause them to be kept in cache for longer. [RT #26429] Corrects the syntax of isc_atomic_xadd() and isc_atomic_cmpxchg() which are employed on Itanium systems to speed up lock management by making use of atomic operations. Without the syntax correction it is possible that concurrent access to the same structures could accidentally occur with unpredictable results.
[RT #25181] The configure script now supports and detects libxml2-2.8.x correctly [RT #30440] The host command should no longer assert on some architectures and builds while handling the time values used with the -w (wait forever) option. [RT #18723] Invalid zero settings for max-retry-time, min-retry-time, max-refresh-time, min-refresh-time will now be detected during parsing of named.conf and an error emitted instead of triggering an assertion failure on startup. [RT #27730] Removes spurious newlines from log messages in zone.c [RT #30675] When built with readline support (i.e. on a system with readline installed) nsupdate no longer terminates unexpectedly in interactive mode. [RT #29550] All named tasks that perform task-exclusive operations now share the same single task. Prior to this change, there was the possibility of a race condition between rndc operations and other functions such as re-sizing the adb hash table. If the race condition was encountered, named would in most cases terminate unexpectedly with an assert. [RT #29872] Ensures that servers are expired from the ADB cache when the timeout limit is reached so that their learned attributes can be refreshed. Prior to this change, servers that were frequently queried might never have their entries removed and reinitialized. This is of particular importance to DNSSEC-validating recursive servers that might erroneously set ‘no-edns’ for an authoritative server following a period of intermittent connectivity. [RT #29856] Adds additional resilience to a previous security change (3218) by preventing RRSIG data from being added to cache when a pseudo-record matching the covering type and proving non-existence exists at a higher trust level. The earlier change prevented this inconsistent data from being retrieved from cache in response to client queries - with this additional change, the RRSIG records are no longer inserted into cache at all. [RT #26809] dnssec-settime will now issue a warning when the writing of a new private key file would cause a change in the permissions of the existing file. [RT #27724] Fixes the defect introduced by change #3314 that was causing failures when saving stub zones to disk (resulting in excessive CPU usage in some cases). [RT #29952] It is now possible to using multiple control keys again - this functionality was inadvertently broken by change #3924 (RT #28265) which addressed a memory leak. [RT #29694] Setting resolver-query-timeout too low could cause named problems recovering after a loss of connectivity. [RT #29623] Reduces the potential build-up of stale RRsets in cache on a busy recursive nameserver by re-using cached DS and RRSIG rrsets when possible [RT #29446] Corrects a failure to authenticate non-existence of resource records in some circumstances when RPZ has been configured. Also :

  • adds an optional ‘recursive-only yes|no’ to the response-policy statement

  • adds an optional ‘max-policy-ttl’ to the response-policy statement to limit the false data that ‘recursive-only no’ can introduce into resolvers’ caches

  • introduces a predefined encoding of PASSTHRU policy by adding ‘rpz-passthru’ to be used as the target of CNAME policy records (the old encoding is still accepted.)

  • adds a RPZ performance test to bin/tests/system/rpz when queryperf is available. [RT #26172] Upper-case/lower-case handling of RRSIG signer-names is now handled consistently: RRSIG records are generated with the signer-name in lower case. They are accepted with any case, but if they fail to validate, we try again in lower case. [RT #27451]

  • Update the IPv4 address of the D root name server.
