Hello List! Today, we release Knot DNS 1.4.6 with two minor fixes. First issue we've fixed would only occur when doing DNSSEC key rollover using the key metadata (via the dnssec-settime tool, for example) - there was a possibility that the server would try to sign the zone continuously for a limited amount of time. DNSSEC data would stay valid all the time though. The other fix concerns mainly RRL users with recvmmsg enabled - when using SLIP other than 1, responses that should have been dropped were actually sent as empty UDP datagrams. Such responses would not be helpful to the attacker, as they are actually smaller than the queries, but they could confuse legitimate clients. This applies for the responses to malformed query messages as well, even if the RRL is disabled. All in all, if you do not use the automatic DNSSEC or RRL, there's probably no need to update. Hopefully, this is the last release before the 1.5RC1 comes out, so stay tuned.

knot as a recursive server too - it is planned ?

by Josef Karliak

Hi there, do you plan to enable/run Knot as a recursive server too ? We used our master dns server as a recursive server too (only for our servers), but after migrating from Bind to Knot it is not possible. For now I had to change asking secondary dns server with bind, but ... :) Thanks and best regards J.Karliak.

knot 1.4.x and enabling debug.

by Josef Karliak

Hi, I've some problems with my domains, I was unreacheable because of knot wasn't responding. I want to run debug, I've this in my knot.conf: ... ... log { syslog { any all; zone all; } file "/var/log/knotd.debug" { server debug; zone debug; } ... ... but the "/var/log/knotd.debug" file is empty. Did I missed something ? :) About knot : he was running, SOA querried to master server that my knot makes slave, but didn't answered for my domains that he manage. After restart knot all's fine... Anyway I made a few minutes ago update of the knot, maybe some "old" bug fixed in the new version, now running "knot-1.4.4-49.1.x86_64". Thanks and best regards J.Karliak.

[PATCH] Turn off TTL display when printing a question section

by Robert S. Edmonds

Question resource records do not include a TTL field (per RFC 1035 §4.1.2), so it seems strange to display a zero TTL when printing the question section. This makes kdig match the question section dump style of drill and dig. --- src/utils/common/exec.c | 5 +++-- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/utils/common/exec.c b/src/utils/common/exec.c index 92af2df..aa5485d 100644 --- a/src/utils/common/exec.c +++ b/src/utils/common/exec.c @@ -200,9 +200,10 @@ static void print_section_question(const knot_dname_t *owner, size_t buflen = 8192; char *buf = calloc(buflen, 1); knot_rrset_t *question = knot_rrset_new(owner, qtype, qclass, NULL); + knot_dump_style_t qstyle = style->style; + qstyle.show_ttl = 0; - if (knot_rrset_txt_dump_header(question, 0, buf, buflen, - &(style->style)) < 0) { + if (knot_rrset_txt_dump_header(question, 0, buf, buflen, &qstyle) < 0) { WARN("can't print whole question section\n"); } -- 1.9.1

Knot DNS 1.4.5

by Jan Včelák

Hello Everyone! Today, we announce the Knot DNS 1.4.5, which includes one security fix. We found out, that the TSIG validation code contains a possible weakness. The received TSIG digest was compared using string comparison functions, instead of functions intended for binary data. As a result, under certain conditions, the TSIG digest was compared only partially. We believe that this has no huge security impact, but it is worth fixing as soon as possible.

Knot NSEC3 with opt-out

by Klaus Darilion

Hi! I use knot 1.4.4 and sign my zones with NSEC3. Is NSEC3 with opt-out supported? If yes, how can I activate opt-out? I tried setting the flag in the NSEC3PARAM record but apparently this does not activate opt-out. Thanks Klaus

Knot DNS 1.5 technology preview

by Marek Vavruša

Hi Everyone, we're getting closer to the 1.5 release and because we're mostly feature complete now, I think today might be a good opportunity to share some of the new stuff we've created and hear out your opinions. There's a ton of improvements that I can't cover in a few paragraphs, but I've picked 3 of those that I think are the pillars for the bigger plan for this year. Just so you know, there is no tarball this time, but if you're brave enough, you can actually try everything covered here. You can find the code in our git repository under a tag "v1.5.0-alpha": $ git clone -b v1.5.0-alpha https://gitlab.labs.nic.cz/labs/knot.git 1. Query processing and code base We've known for a while that there were parts of the code that we weren't happy with. It's not just that it was getting hard to patch and read, but with we had a ton of ideas that we couldn't get implemented because of the limitations (in fact, this effort bears fruits as soon as of this release, but more on that later). One of those places was query processing and dealing with queries in general. Naturally, we've sat down and reworked this from scratch. Now, from the user perspective it's not so exciting - yes we made it RFC compliant in several cases and it's faster than ever (I'm running benchmarks as we speak, so you might want to check out our webpage later). It's still a preview and we're ironing things out, so don't take the numbers as final. For those who are interested in the details (thank you!), it's much much more important because the code lays a solid foundation for the cool stuff to come while being lightweight. How much? Around 10+k LOC which is roughly 10-15% of our code base gone and we offset that by adding almost 5k LOC worth of test cases. To put it in another words, it means it does more with less and we're not done here. 2. Separating Knot DNS library We also improved the Knot DNS build process overall. The code providing basic building blocks for the server and utilities is now held in the libknot library, which is by default linked dynamically to these components. You will also notice the libzscanner library, our high-performance zone scanner written in Ragel (with no dependencies on Knot DNS). We plan to build some other projects on top of that and provide public headers in the future (which is more likely to happen for the libzscanner - if someone is interested). But currently, you may benefit from a smaller size of the binaries. 3. Pluggable query processing modules + auto forward/reverse records New features are always a compromise - usually between ease of use, complexity and resource usage. But what if we could make the core as lightweight as possible and let the user choose? The new processing API is built like a Lego (don't step on it though), it breaks down the processing into independent parts that together form a plan for query processing. So what we did was, we've created an interface for loadable modules and let it add/remove or change the query processing plan as the module sees fit. This allows to keep complexity at bay (for those who don't want extra stuff) and provide a playground for new ideas. We actually have a first module - it can synthesize per-answer forward/reverse records for IPv4/IPv6 addresses from a template in configuration file (see 4.11 in the documentation on further information). For the impatient, an example speaks the best: We have an IPv6 reverse zone we need to take care of, but the problem is the address space is too big to generate a zone file. So we create an empty zone, put in static records we want and let the module to synthesize other records per-answer (if they fit in the template and aren't present in the zone): # Configuration: 1.6.b.0.0.0.0.0.0.2.6.2.ip6.arpa { query_module { synth_record "reverse dynamic- example. 400 2620:0:b61::/52"; } Now if we load Knot DNS, and kdig for a reverse record, we get a following reply: $ kdig PTR 1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.1.6.b.0.0.0.0.0.0.2.6.2.ip6.arpa. ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;; 1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.1.6.b.0.0.0.0.0.0.2.6.2.ip6.arpa. 0 IN PTR ;; ANSWER SECTION: ..snip.. 400 IN PTR dynamic-2620-0000-0b61-0000-0000-0000-0000-0001.example. Forward records can be dealt with in a similar fashion, see the manual 4.11 for more examples and information. To sum it up, modules could be a way to accommodate for the "should this be a in a nameserver?" sort of things. If you don't like it, just don't put it in the configuration and you're good. As of now the module API is open (no "how to" though), and so are we for ideas. Phew, this was longer than I expected and I barely scratched the surface. As you see, this version is going to be a lot about tidying up and opening up the possibilities. So what's your take on this?

Knot DNS 1.4.4

by Marek Vavruša

Hi Everyone, while we in the CZ.NIC Labs are all focused on the next big thing, I thought now it might be a good time to get out another of our (admittedly highly irregular) monthly patch releases. Bug fixes aside, there are a couple improvements that we hope will make your life easier. Here's the breakdown: - 'knotc reload' does not immediately refresh/notify unchanged zones. This fixes the flurry of refresh messages after each reload and makes it lightweight enough to be used frequently. Note that new/changed zones are still added and old zones are removed. However, if you want to refresh zones explicitly, you need to call 'knotc refresh' after reload now. - 'knotc -f refresh' now truly forces a zone refresh. To put it in another words, it's akin to the 'retransfer' command that you missed in the Knot DNS and instead of checking for new zone, it starts a full transfer of the zone right away. - 'knotc' remote commands are now logged in the daemon logfile Now, there are several bugfixes as well. See the NEWS for a complete list, but here's a selection of the most notable - in several cases notify messages weren't sent after a zone resign, progressive bootstrap retry regression was fixed, few issues with journal and maximum entry size. There is also a slight behaviour change in the zone file parser and the daemon itself. First - zone file parser now accepts asterisk in the domain name labels (wildcards aside). As for the daemon, if a zone is in a slave mode and fails to load for some reason, it immediately tries to reboostrap from the master server instead of just reporting an error. I'd also like to thank to Robert S. Edmonds for amending various spelling errors and typos in manpages and documentation, thanks! So that's it, I hope the improvements make this update a little worthwhile before new stuff comes out later this spring.

Some issues with dnssec signed domain.

by Josef Karliak

Hi there, I migrated our primary DNS from Bind to Knot. I runned some tests by nic.cz's dnscheck, but there is an error: DNSSEC signature RRSIG(fnhk.cz/IN/SOA/64431) fails to validate the RR set: key 1: keytag does not match key 2:RSA Verification failed Link to test: http://dnscheck.labs.nic.cz/?time=1395821962&id=102810&view=advanced&test=s… Knot doesn't complains to anything in the system log, fnhk.cz zone is succefully signed. What did I missed ? Thanks and best regards J.Karliak.
