- <p>
- Until BIND 9.12, new feature development releases were tagged
- as "alpha" and "beta", leading up to the first stable release
- for a given development branch, which always ended in ".0".
- More recently, BIND adopted the "odd-unstable/even-stable"
- release numbering convention. There will be no "alpha" or "beta"
- releases in the 9.15 branch, only increasing version numbers.
- So, for example, what would previously have been called 9.15.0a1,
- 9.15.0a2, 9.15.0b1, and so on, will instead be called 9.15.0,
- 9.15.1, 9.15.2, etc.
- </p>
- <p>
- The first stable release from this development branch will be
- renamed as 9.16.0. Thereafter, maintenance releases will continue
- on the 9.16 branch, while unstable feature development proceeds in
- 9.17.

- To build on UNIX-like systems, BIND requires support for POSIX.1c
- threads (IEEE Std 1003.1c-1995), the Advanced Sockets API for
- IPv6 (RFC 3542), and standard atomic operations provided by the
- C compiler.
- </p>
- <p>
- The OpenSSL cryptography library must be available for the target
- platform. A PKCS#11 provider can be used instead for Public Key
- cryptography (i.e., DNSSEC signing and validation), but OpenSSL is
- still required for general cryptography operations such as hashing
- and random number generation.
- </p>
- <p>
- More information can be found in the <code class="filename">PLATFORMS.md</code>
- file that is included in the source distribution of BIND 9. If your
- compiler and system libraries provide the above features, BIND 9
- should compile and run. If that isn't the case, the BIND
- development team will generally accept patches that add support
- for systems that are still supported by their respective vendors.

<a name="relnotes_versions"></a>Note on Version Numbering</h3></div></div></div>
- <p>
- Until BIND 9.12, new feature development releases were tagged
- as "alpha" and "beta", leading up to the first stable release
- for a given development branch, which always ended in ".0".
- More recently, BIND adopted the "odd-unstable/even-stable"
- release numbering convention. There will be no "alpha" or "beta"
- releases in the 9.15 branch, only increasing version numbers.
- So, for example, what would previously have been called 9.15.0a1,
- 9.15.0a2, 9.15.0b1, and so on, will instead be called 9.15.0,
- 9.15.1, 9.15.2, etc.
- </p>
- <p>
- The first stable release from this development branch will be
- renamed as 9.16.0. Thereafter, maintenance releases will continue
- on the 9.16 branch, while unstable feature development proceeds in
- 9.17.

<a name="relnotes_platforms"></a>Supported Platforms</h3></div></div></div>
- <p>
- To build on UNIX-like systems, BIND requires support for POSIX.1c
- threads (IEEE Std 1003.1c-1995), the Advanced Sockets API for
- IPv6 (RFC 3542), and standard atomic operations provided by the
- C compiler.
- </p>
- <p>
- The OpenSSL cryptography library must be available for the target
- platform. A PKCS#11 provider can be used instead for Public Key
- cryptography (i.e., DNSSEC signing and validation), but OpenSSL is
- still required for general cryptography operations such as hashing
- and random number generation.
- </p>
- <p>
- More information can be found in the <code class="filename">PLATFORMS.md</code>
- file that is included in the source distribution of BIND 9. If your
- compiler and system libraries provide the above features, BIND 9
- should compile and run. If that isn't the case, the BIND
- development team will generally accept patches that add support
- for systems that are still supported by their respective vendors.

-Release Notes for BIND Version 9.15.4
+Release Notes for BIND Version 9.15.5
Introduction
Security Fixes
+ * The TCP client quota set using the tcp-clients option could be
+ exceeded in some cases. This could lead to exhaustion of file
+ descriptors. This flaw is disclosed in CVE-2018-5743. [GL #615]
+
* In certain configurations, named could crash with an assertion failure
if nxdomain-redirect was in use and a redirected query resulted in an
NXDOMAIN from the cache. This flaw is disclosed in CVE-2019-6467. [GL
#880]
- * The TCP client quota set using the tcp-clients option could be
- exceeded in some cases. This could lead to exhaustion of file
- descriptors. This flaw is disclosed in CVE-2018-5743. [GL #615]
-
* A race condition could trigger an assertion failure when a large
number of incoming packets were being rejected. This flaw is disclosed
in CVE-2019-6471. [GL #942]
+ * named could crash with an assertion failure if a forwarder returned a
+ referral, rather than resolving the query, when QNAME minimization was
+ enabled. This flaw is disclosed in CVE-2019-6476. [GL #1501]
+
+ * A flaw in DNSSEC verification when transferring mirror zones could
+ allow data to be incorrectly marked valid. This flaw is disclosed in
+ CVE-2019-6475. [GL #16P]
+
New Features
- * Added a new command line option to dig: <comand>+[no]unexpected</
- comand>. By default, dig won't accept a reply from a source other than
- the one to which it sent the query. Add the +unexpected argument to
- enable it to process replies from unexpected sources.
+ * Added a new command line option to dig: +[no]unexpected. By default,
+ dig won't accept a reply from a source other than the one to which it
+ sent the query. Add the +unexpected argument to enable it to process
+ replies from unexpected sources.
* The GeoIP2 API from MaxMind is now supported. Geolocation support will
be compiled in by default if the libmaxminddb library is found at
* Glue address records were not being returned in responses to root
priming queries; this has been corrected. [GL #1092]
- * Cache database statistics counters could report invalid values when
- stale answers were enabled, because of a bug in counter maintenance
- when cache data becomes stale. The statistics counters have been
- corrected to report the number of RRsets for each RR type that are
- active, stale but still potentially served, or stale and marked for
- deletion. [GL #602]
-
* Interaction between DNS64 and RPZ No Data rule (CNAME *.) could cause
unexpected results; this has been fixed. [GL #1106]
* Handle ETIMEDOUT error on connect() with a non-blocking socket. [GL #
1133]
+ * Cache database statistics counters could report invalid values when

+ when cache data becomes stale. The statistics counters have been

+ active, stale but still potentially served, or stale and marked for
+ deletion. [GL #602]
+
* dig now correctly expands the IPv6 address when run with +expandaaaa
+short. [GL #1152]
