- Fix for DNS Rebinding Bypass via SVCB/HTTPS Records in Unbound.
Thanks to Kunta Chu, School of Software, Tsinghua University,
Taofei Guo, Peking University, and Jianjun Chen, Institute for
Network Sciences and Cyberspace, Tsinghua University for the
report. The private-address option is fixed to also elide
SVCB and HTTPS records that match the filter.

Allow synthesized DNAME TTL=0 to be served from cache within grace period (#1411)
* Allow synthesized DNAME TTL=0 to be served from cache within grace period
Addresses doc/TODO: cache TTL=0 packets properly for synthesis.
- rrset_cache_lookup: allow TTL=0 DNAME within 1s grace for synthesis
- synth_dname_msg: support PACKED_RRSET_UPSTREAM_0TTL, return TTL=0 to client
Reduces recursion when authoritative servers return DNAME with TTL=0 (RFC 2308).
Client response still correctly returns TTL=0.
Note: Test with proper TTL=0 DNSSEC RRSIGs omitted - requires ldns-signzone
to generate valid signatures for TTL=0 RRsets.
* Add iter_dname_ttl0.rpl replay test for DNAME TTL=0
Tests signed DNAME with TTL=0 and RRSIG Original TTL=0 (RFC 4034).
Verifies end-to-end handling of TTL=0 DNAME responses.
- Fix validator to set unchecked when validation recursion
requests are passed. The edns subnet module checks if validation
is needed for a cache response, and set the validator to protect
the cache with validation for non-subnet lookups.
- Fix #1404: Priming the root key fails after loading ipfire.org RPZ
zones. Fixed by including the ZONEMD RRtype in the list of types to
ignore for RPZ zones. Analysis and patch provided by ummeegge.

- Merge #1401: Add a new build-time option for system TLS.
The --enable-system-tls flag enables the
tls-use-system-policy-versions setting by default.

Add a new build-time option for system TLS (#1401)
We want to use crypto-policy provided configuration always in our

- Fix local privilege escalation on Windows. Thanks to Hao Huang
for the report. The OpenSSL init calls are set to not load

Changelog entry for #1396:
- Merge #1396: Log Linux thread ID.
- On Linux systems log the system-wide unique thread ID instead of
Unbound's internal thread counter.
- Introduce the 'log-thread-id' configuration option to manage logging
the system-wide Linux thread ID for easier debugging with system
tools.

Do not initialize quic_table unless it is enabled (#1381)

Fedora in FIPS mode might fail to initialize ngtcp2 library, because

initialization as well.

- Fix http2 drop handling to clear the postpone_drop state so that
other streams on the http2 session are not affected by a drop,

the condition of one stream.

Mesh reply counters (#1374)
* Statistics counter for number of queries dropped by limit on reply addresses
Request list entries can be associated with multiple pending "reply
addresses". Basically each request list entry keeps its own list of
clients that should receive the response once the recursion is finished.
This requires keeping allocations around for each client, and there is
a global limit on the number of *additional* reply addresses that can
be allocated. (Each new request list entry seems to get its own initial
reply address which is not counted against the limit.)
This commit adds a statistics counter "num_queries_replyaddr_limit" that
counts the number of incoming client queries that have been dropped due
to the restriction on allocating additional reply addresses. This allows
distinguishing these drops from other kinds of drops.
* Statistics counter for number of mesh reply entries
Request list entries can be associated with multiple pending "reply
addresses". Since there is a limit on the number of additional reply
addresses that can be allocated which can cause incoming queries to be
dropped if exceeded, it would be nice to be able to track this number.
This commit basically exports the mesh_area's internal counter
`num_reply_addrs` as "threadX.requestlist.current.replies" /
"total.requestlist.current.replies".
- Fix #1366: Infra cache does not work correctly for NAT64, by
moving the NAT64 synthesis from the iterator when selecting a target
address, to the delegation point itself when adding target
addresses.
- Fix #1165, document the possible circular dependency when using
host names instead of IP addresses for name servers in stub/forward
zones and log a warning when spotted in the configuration.
- For #1364, use OPENSSL_VERSION_TEXT instead of OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER
for part of the configure script. OPENSSL_VERSION_TEXT is more
consistent across versions.
- unbound.conf man page updates to include a preview of the section
clauses and some reformatting around the use of "clause", "option"
and "attributes".
Fix for analysis and ports workflows iOS, Windows (#1361)
* - Remove SDK_VERSION and only run failed jobs, echo windows config.log
* Use commented out to fix syntax of ci.
* - Turn off succeeded tests, only link libssp for cross compile, use
no-shared for openssl ios.
* - Remove iPhone armv7s, and iPhoneSimulator i386 from ios ci.
The lib system does not provide symbols for it on the new macos
runner.
- Fix to exclude libssp for windows compiles.
