Notes for BIND 9.20.14
----------------------
-Security Fixes
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+.. note::
-- DNSSEC validation fails if matching but invalid DNSKEY is found.
- :cve:`2025-8677`
-
- Previously, if a matching but cryptographically invalid key was
- encountered during DNSSEC validation, the key was skipped and not
- counted towards validation failures. :iscman:`named` now treats such
- DNSSEC keys as hard failures and the DNSSEC validation fails
- immediately, instead of continuing with the next DNSKEYs in the RRset.
-
- ISC would like to thank Zuyao Xu and Xiang Li from the All-in-One
- Security and Privacy Laboratory at Nankai University for bringing this
- vulnerability to our attention. :gl:`#5343`
-
-- Address various spoofing attacks. :cve:`2025-40778`
-
- Previously, several issues could be exploited to poison a DNS cache
- with spoofed records for zones which were not DNSSEC-signed or if the
- resolver was configured to not do DNSSEC validation. These issues were
- assigned CVE-2025-40778 and have now been fixed.
-
- As an additional layer of protection, :iscman:`named` no longer
- accepts DNAME records or extraneous NS records in the AUTHORITY
- section unless these are received via spoofing-resistant transport
- (TCP, UDP with DNS cookies, TSIG, or SIG(0)).
-
- ISC would like to thank Yuxiao Wu, Yunyi Zhang, Baojun Liu, and Haixin
- Duan from Tsinghua University for bringing this vulnerability to our
- attention. :gl:`#5414`
-
-- Cache-poisoning due to weak pseudo-random number generator.
- :cve:`2025-40780`
-
- It was discovered during research for an upcoming academic paper that
- a xoshiro128\*\* internal state can be recovered by an external 3rd
- party, allowing the prediction of UDP ports and DNS IDs in outgoing
- queries. This could lead to an attacker spoofing the DNS answers with
- great efficiency and poisoning the DNS cache.
-
- The internal random generator has been changed to a cryptographically
- secure pseudo-random generator.
-
- ISC would like to thank Prof. Amit Klein and Omer Ben Simhon from
- Hebrew University of Jerusalem for bringing this vulnerability to our
- attention. :gl:`#5484`
-
-New Features
-~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-- Add :any:`dnssec-policy` keys configuration check to
- :iscman:`named-checkconf`.
-
- A new option :option:`-k <named-checkconf -k>` was added to
- :iscman:`named-checkconf` that allows checking the
- :any:`dnssec-policy` :any:`keys` configuration against the configured
- key stores. If the found key files are not in sync with the given
- :any:`dnssec-policy`, the check will fail.
-
- This is useful to run before migrating to :any:`dnssec-policy`.
- :gl:`#5486`
-
-Bug Fixes
-~~~~~~~~~
-
-- Missing DNSSEC information when CD bit is set in query.
-
- The RRSIGs for glue records were not being cached correctly for CD=1
- queries. This has been fixed. :gl:`#5502`
-
-- :option:`rndc sign` during ZSK rollover will now replace signatures.
-
- When performing a ZSK rollover, if the new DNSKEY is omnipresent, the
- :option:`rndc sign` command now signs the zone completely with the
- successor key, replacing all zone signatures from the predecessor key
- with new ones. :gl:`#5483`
-
-- Use signer name when disabling DNSSEC algorithms.
-
- :any:`disable-algorithms` could cause DNSSEC validation failures when
- the parent zone was signed with the algorithms that were being
- disabled for the child zone. This has been fixed;
- :any:`disable-algorithms` now works on a whole-of-zone basis.
-
- If the zone's name is at or below the :any:`disable-algorithms` name
- the algorithm is disabled for that zone, using deepest match when
- there are multiple :any:`disable-algorithms` clauses. :gl:`#5165`
-
-- Preserve cache when reload fails and reload the server again.
-
- This fixes an issue where failing to reconfigure/reload the server
- would fail to preserve the views' caches for subsequent server
- reconfigurations/reloads. :gl:`#5523`
+ The BIND 9.20.14 release was withdrawn after the discovery of a
+ regression in a security fix in it during pre-release testing.
