-- [CVE-2025-40777] Fix a possible assertion failure when using the
- 'stale-answer-client-timeout 0' option.
+- Fix a possible assertion failure when
+ :any:`stale-answer-client-timeout` is set to ``0``.
In specific circumstances the :iscman:`named` resolver process could
- terminate unexpectedly when stale answers were enabled and the
- ``stale-answer-client-timeout 0`` configuration option was used. This
- has been fixed. :gl:`#5372`
+ exit with an assertion failure when stale answers were enabled and the
+ :any:`stale-answer-client-timeout` configuration option was set to
+ ``0``. This has been fixed. :cve:`2025-40777` :gl:`#5372`
New Features
~~~~~~~~~~~~
-- "Add code paths to fully support PRIVATEDNS and PRIVATEOID keys"
+- Add code paths to fully support PRIVATEDNS and PRIVATEOID keys.
Added support for PRIVATEDNS and PRIVATEOID key usage. Added
PRIVATEOID test algorithms using the assigned OIDs for RSASHA256 and
PRIVATEDNS and PRIVATEOID identifiers at the start of the digest field
of the DS record. This code is disabled by default. :gl:`#3240`
-- Add "named-makejournal" tool.
+- Add :iscman:`named-makejournal` tool.
- The `named-makejournal` tool reads two zone files for the same domain,
- compares them, and generates a journal file from the differences.
- :gl:`#5164`
+ The :iscman:`named-makejournal` tool reads two zone files for the same
+ domain, compares them, and generates a journal file from the
+ differences. :gl:`#5164`
-- Add support to set and display the CO flag.
+- Add support for the CO flag to :iscman:`dig`.
- Add support to display the CO (Compact denial of existence Ok flag)
- when displaying messages.
-
- Add support to set the CO flag when making queries in dig (+coflag).
- :gl:`#5319`
+ Add support for Compact Denial of Existence to :iscman:`dig`. This
+ includes showing the CO (Compact Answers OK) flag when displaying
+ messages and adding an option to set the CO flag when making queries
+ (:option:`dig +coflag`). :gl:`#5319`
Bug Fixes
~~~~~~~~~
-- Fix the default interface-interval from 60s to 60m.
+- Correct the default :any:`interface-interval` from 60s to 60m.
- When the interface-interval parser was changed from uint32 parser to
- duration parser, the default value stayed at plain number `60` which
- now means 60 seconds instead of 60 minutes. The documentation also
- incorrectly states that the value is in minutes. That has been fixed.
- :gl:`#5246`
+ When the :any:`interface-interval` parser was changed from a
+ ``uint32`` parser to a duration parser, the default value stayed at
+ plain number ``60`` which now means 60 seconds instead of 60 minutes.
+ The documentation also incorrectly states that the value is in
+ minutes. That has been fixed. :gl:`#5246`
-- Fix purge-keys bug when using views.
+- Fix a :any:`purge-keys` bug when using multiple views of a zone.
Previously, when a DNSSEC key was purged by one zone view, other zone
views would return an error about missing key files. This has been
fixed. :gl:`#5315`
-- Use IPv6 queries in delv +ns.
-
- `delv +ns` invokes the same code to perform name resolution as
- `named`, but it neglected to set up an IPv6 dispatch object first.
- Consequently, it was behaving more like `named -4`. It now sets up
- dispatch objects for both address families, and performs resolver
- queries to both v4 and v6 addresses, except when one of the address
- families has been suppressed by using `delv -4` or `delv -6`.
- :gl:`#5352`
