- Major features are Windows port, and Python contribution. Previous
releases accidentally enabled experimental rsasha256 algorithms, fixed,
see below. There are minor features and bug fixes too.
- initgroups(3) is called to drop secondary group permissions, if
this OS functionality is available.
- daemon(3) posix call is used when available
- configure option --with-ldns-builtin forces the use of the
inluded ldns package with the unbound source. The -I include
is put before the others, so it avoids bad include files from
an older ldns install.
- --enable-sha2 option for rsasha256 and rsasha512 support (experimental
because it is still in working group draft stage). Default is off.
Previous releases accidentally enabled this feature when lib openssl supported
SHA256. It then used algorithms 8, 9 for RSASHA256 and 10, 11 for RSASHA512
(using four numbers as was according to the draft spec at that time).
The earlier versions support NSEC and NSEC3 for all these algorithm numbers.
People with these earlier versions may also have earlier openssl
versions (0.9.7), and therefore the experimental feature is disabled.
As long as these signing algorithm code points are not allocated, there is
no problem. You are advised to upgrade to the current version to
avoid surprises.
- new option log-time-ascii: yes if you enable it prints timestamps
in the log file as Feb 06 13:45:26 (like syslog does).
- verbosity level 5 logs customer IP for new requestlist
entries.
- contrib contains specfile for fedora 1.2.1 (from Paul Wouters).
- call setusercontext() if available (on BSD)
- Added stats_noreset feature for unbound-control.
- Added flush_requestlist feature for unbound-control.
- unbound-control status shows if root forwarding is in use.
- Added forward command for unbound control to change forwarders to use
on the fly.
- unbound-checkconf and unbound server print warnings when trust anchors
have unsupported algorithms.
- Added contrib/update-itar.sh This script is similar to
update-anchor.sh, and updates from the IANA ITAR repository.
You can provide your own PGP key and trust repo, or can use the
builtin. The program uses wget and gpg to work.
- Support spaces and backslashes in configure default paths
- register and deregister util programs for unbound.exe into the
windows service control manager. Works on XP and with Vista UAC.
- unbound can work as a service on windows, for the registry settings
and default program location and so on, see the windows manual.
- installer for unbound on windows. uninstalls too. Menu entries
optional. Can install DLV anchor with updater application (anchor-update.exe,
works a bit like update-anchor.sh) to enable DNSSEC
easily. Uses the NSIS open source installer system.
- Added contrib/unbound_cacti for statistics support in cacti,
contributed by Dmitriy Demidov.
- domain-insecure: "example.com" statement added. Sets domain
insecure regardless of chain of trust DSs or DLVs. The inverse
of a trust-anchor.
- use _beginthreadex() when available (performs stack alignment
on mingw)
- added launchd plist example file for MacOSX to contrib.
- reworked configure scripts to be neater.
- python contribution from Zdenek Vasicek and Marek Vavrusa.
(Sponsored by cz.nic for 'summer of code' development).
This contains support to use libunbound from python code.
And support to create unbound modules written in python that perform
custom processing of queries. The code is disabled by default and
needs to be enabled by passing options to configure. Installs the
following files: /usr/lib/python2.x/site-packages/ unboundmodule.py
unbound.py and _unbound.so*. The script examples are not installed. Sphinx
docs can be built with make doc (if sphinx-build is available).
- new libunbound calls to manage local data more easily
- read /dev/random before chroot
- suppress errors when trying to contact authority servers that gave
ipv6 AAAA records for their nameservers with ipv4 mapped contents.
Still tries to do so, higher verbosity shows the error.
- clock skew checks in unbound, config statements.
- Added cache-min-ttl option.
-
Added dump_requestlist feature for unbound-control.
-
Added flush_stats feature for unbound-control.
-
Added unbound-checkconf -o option, that prints that
value from config file. Useful for scripting in management scripts
and the like.
Bug Fixes
- fix for threadsafety in solaris thr_key_create() in tests.
- fixes for porting the python code to BSD and Darwin
- fix for openssl-1.0.0beta, use of STRING #define, libdl linking.
- Fix reentrant in minievent handler for unix. Could have resulted
in spurious event callbacks.
-
fix munin plugin, perform cleanup of stale
lockfiles.
- Fix for removal of RSASHA256_NSEC3 protonumber from ldns. Also new
rsasha512 (interim) algorithm number.
- Detect FreeBSD jail without ipv6 addresses assigned.
- Fixed a bug that caused messages to be stored in the cache too
long. Hard to trigger, but NXDOMAINs for nameservers or CNAME
targets have been more vulnerable to the TTL miscalculation bug.
- fixed bug in unbound-control flush_zone where it would not flush
every message in the target domain. This especially impacted
NXDOMAIN messages which could remain in the cache regardless.
- Fixup so no non-absolute rpaths are added.
- Fixup validation of RRSIG queries, they are let through.
- fix util/configlexer.c and solaris -std=c99 flag.
- deprecation test for daemon(3) (on MacOSX).
-
module-config entries order is important. Documented.
- Fix for and test for unknown algorithms in a trust anchor
definition. Trust anchors with no supported algos are ignored.
This means a (higher)DS or DLV entry for them could succeed, and
otherwise they are treated as insecure.
- Added tests, unknown algorithms become insecure. fallback works.
- fixed so queries do not fail on opportunistic target queries.
- munin plugin fix benign locking error printout.
- fixup --export-symbols to be -export-symbls for libtool.
This should fix extraneous symbols exported from libunbound.
Thanks to Ondrej Sury and Robert Edmonds for finding it.
- document FAQ entry on stub/forward zones and default blocking.
- Remove fwrite warning on Ubuntu
- Added more cycle detection. Also for target queries.
- Fixup bug where during deletion of the mesh queries the callbacks
that were reentrant caused assertion failures. Keep the mesh in
a reentrant safe state. Affected libunbound, reload of server,
on quit and flush_requestlist.
- documented that unbound-host reads no config file by default.
- slightly nicer memory management in iter-fwd code.
- small refactor of stats clearing.
- fixup EOL in include directive (reported by Paul Wouters).
- config parser changed. Gives some syntax errors closer to where they
occurred. Does not enforce a space after keyword anymore.
Does not allow literal newlines inside quoted strings anymore.
- detect event_base_new() in libevent-1.4.1 and later and use it.
- MacOSX Leopard cleaner text output from configure.
- change in libunbound API: ub_cancel can return an error, that
the async_id did not exist, or that it was already delivered.
The result could have been delivered just before the cancel
routine managed to acquire the lock, so a caller may get the
result at the same time they call cancel. For this case,
ub_cancel tries to return an error code.
Fixes race condition in use of ub_cancel() libunbound function.
- Fixup assertion failure (thanks to Brett Carr).
- Fix detection of no ipv6 on XP (with different error code).
- Fixup a crash-on-exit which was triggered by a very long queue.
- Fixed bug that could cause a crash if root prime failed when there
were message backlogs.
- fixup documentation-bug in README reported by Matthew Dempsky.
- Fixup bad free() when wrongly encoded DSA signature is seen. Reported
by Paul Wouters.
- updated ldns tarball to latest
- updated iana portlist

Date: 10 February, 2009Features
- negative caching for failed queries. Queries that failed (because
the entire domain is down) are cached for a very short time (seconds),
this lowers the load generated by the failed queries.
If the failure is local, like out of memory, it is not cached.
- stop resolving AAAAs promiscuously when they are in the
negative cache, together with the negative caching feature (just above)
this dampens the spikiness of the requestlist size.
- unbound-host -4 and -6 options. Stops annoying ipv6 errors when
debugging with unbound-host -4 -d ...
- honor QUIET=no on make commandline (or QUIET=yes ).
Bug Fixes
- Fixed server deadlock. Added cycle detection for NS-check, addr-check,
root-prime and stub-prime queries in the iterator.
-
fixup configure checks for compilation with Solaris
sun studio cc compiler, ./configure CC=/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc
- fixup warnings emitted by sun studio compiler.
- the TTL comparison for the cache used different comparisons, causing
many cache responses that used the iterator and validator state
machines unnecessarily. Fixed.
- Fixed occasional SERVFAIL response when EDNS traffic is dropped
for a domain. Set retry from 4 to 5 so that EDNS drop retry is part of
the first query resolve attempt, and cached error does not stop EDNS
fallback.
- removed debug prints in code that protects against bad referrals.
- fix bug where unbound could crash using libevent 1.3 and older.
- more quiet about ipv6 network failures, i.e. when ipv6 is not
available (network unreachable). Debug still printed on high verbosity.
- printout more detailed errors on ssl certificate loading failures.
- builtin IANA allocated portlist updated (these ports are avoided).

- Wildcard support for trusted-keys-file: "/etc/keys/*.key"
- unbound-control status command.
- extended statistics has a number of ipv6 queries counter.
contrib/unbound_munin_ was updated to draw ipv6 in the hits graph.
- SElinux policy files in contrib/selinux for the unbound daemon,
by Paul Wouters and Adam Tkac.
Bug Fixes
- The long standing bug with libevent use is fixed. It turns out to be
a race condition in the calls to libevent.
The builtin mini-event did not have a problem being called
like this, but libevent and libev usage is now fixed. Libevent 1.1 is
reported to still give problems, but 1.4.5 and 1.4.8 seem fine.
- Certain packets could cause an assertion failure. Resulting in a
denial-of-service vector if the server was compiled with --enable-debug
(assertions enabled). This is fixed.
- fixed bug reported by Duane Wessels: error in DLV lookup, would make
some zones that had correct DLV keys as insecure.
-
fix lame marking. security fix that resolves denial
of service that could be triggered by an unusual configuration. Thanks to
Mark Zealey for reporting.
-
no more race condition in makefile during built with
high -j inside included libldns version.
- iana portlist updated to most recent, avoids allocated ports.
- L root server AAAA record added to builtin root hints.
- removed possible race condition in unit test for race conditions.
- fixup reported problem with transparent local-zone data where
queries with different type could get nxdomain. Now queries
with a different name get resolved normally, with different type
get a correct NOERROR/NODATA answer.
- HINFO no longer downcased for validation, making unbound compatible
with bind and ldns.
- fix reading included config files when chrooted.
Give full path names for include files.
Relative path names work if the start dir equals the working dir.
- fix libunbound message transport when no packet buffer is available.
- fixup getaddrinfo failure handling for remote control port.
- fixup so it works with libev-3.51 from http://dist.schmorp.de/libev/
- ldns tarball updated with 1.4.1rc for DLV unit test.
- fixup BSD port for infra host storage. It hashed wrongly.
- follow ldns rc makedist name generation.
- snapshot version uses _ not - to help rpm distinguish the
version number.
- do not reopen syslog to avoid dev/log dependency. This makes chroot
environments easier.
-
better fix for bug #219: use LOG_NDELAY with
openlog() call. Thanks to Tamas Tevesz.
-
fixed: unbound checkconf checks if key files exist if
remote control is enabled. Also fixed NULL printf when not chrooted.
- Fix problem reported by Jaco Engelbrecht where unbound-control stats
freezes up unbound if this was compiled without threading, and
was using multiple processes.
- test for remote control with interprocess communication.
- created command distribution mechanism so that remote control
commands other than 'stats' work on all processes in a nonthreaded
compiled version. dump/load cache work, on the first process.
- fixup remote control local_data addition memory corruption bug.
-
configure complains when --without-ssl is given,
fixed.
- blacklisted servers are polled at a low rate (1%) to see if they
come back up. But not if there is some other working server.
- documented that the user of the server daemon needs read privileges
on the keys and certificates generated by unbound-control-setup.
This is different per system or distribution, usually, running the
script under the same username as the server uses suffices.
i.e. sudo -u unbound unbound-control-setup
- unbound-control-setup.sh removes read/write permissions other
from the keys it creates (as suggested by Dmitriy Demidov).
- fixed tcp accept, errors were printed when they should not.
- fixup fatal error due to faulty error checking after tcp accept.
- add check in rlimit code to avoid integer underflow.
- rlimit check with new formula; better estimate for number
interfaces.

- DLV support
- contrib update-anchor.sh neatly updates keys for DLV or root or
others and only restarts the nameserver when keys have changed.
exits 0 when a restart is needed, other values if not.
So, update-anchor.sh -d mydir && /etc/rc.d/unbound restart
can restart unbound exactly when needed. Use -b for BIND mode.
- Negative caching for NSEC, NSEC3 for DLV lookups, as well as for
securely insecure delegations.
- Filter out overreaching NSEC records
- dev/log(syslog) opened before chroot
- use setresuid/setresgid, more secure.
- logfile message classification as notice, info, debug.
- harden-referral-path option implements draft-wijngaards-dnsext-resolver-side-mitigation-00, protects against many Kaminsky variations. Default is off, because of added load it generates, and experimental status.
- disallow nonrecursive queries for cache snooping by default.
You can allow it using access-control: subnet allow_snoop.
The defaults do allow access to authoritative data without RD bit.
- DoS resistance implementation. Half of queries run-to-completion.
Other half are a lifo where old entries are overwritten if 200 msec old.
- Block DNS rebinding attacks. This disallows domains from the
public internet from pretending to have internet addresses in your own
netblock. Use the private-address and private-domain statements (see
unbound.conf(5) man page for details). We may consider turning this on
by default for rfc1918 (local subnet) addresses.
- remote control feature, unbound-control. Remotely (using SSL)
stop, change redirections, flush cache, load cache, store cache, or
get statistics
- extended statistics (off by default). Put Howto documentation on website.
- munin example plugin to draw statistics added to contrib
- hosts that drop EDNS packets are detected, eventually.
- fixed recursion servers deployed as authoritative detection, so
that as a last resort, a +RD query is sent there to get the correct
answer.
- RSASHA256 and RSASHA512 support, using experimental protocol numbers from draft.
- stubs work much more intuitively, but can be configure for old and
new behaviour with new option stub-prime. This makes stubs on localhost on a different port number work.
- dns-0x20 fallback code implemented
- IPv4 and IPv6 PTR shorthand local-data-ptr: "1.2.3.4 www.ex.com"
- code refactored for domain, address tree lookups.
- unbound-control-setup.sh script to set up (selfsigned) certificates.
- spoof nearmiss indicator, when extended statistics are enabled, unbound-control stats prints out unwanted_replies count.
- if server selection is faced with only bad choices, it will
attempt to get more options to be fetched.
- changed bogus-ttl default value from 900 to 60 seconds.
In anticipation that operator caused failures are more likely than
actual attacks at this time. And thus repeated validation helps
the operators get the problem fixed sooner. It makes validation
failures go away sooner (60 seconds after the zone is fixed).
Also it is likely to try different nameserver targets every minute,
so that if a zone is bad on one server but not another, it is
likely to pick up the 'correct' one after a couple minutes,
and if the TTL is big enough that solves validation for the zone.
- do not query bogus nameservers. It is as-if nameservers that have
the NS or A or AAAA record bogus are listed as donotquery.
- CFLAGS are picked up by configure from the environment.
- silenced EHOSTDOWN, verbosity 2 and higher show it.
- configure check for ldns version 1.4.0 or later
- Fix for problem reported on mailing list, If a delegation point
has no A but only AAAA and do-ip6 is no, resolution would fail. Fixed to
ask for the A and AAAA records. It has to ask for both always, so that
it can fail quietly, from TLD perspective, when a zone is only reachable
on one transport.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed rrset security updated overwriting rfc2181 trust status.
This makes validated to be insecure data just as worthless as
nonvalidated data, and 2181 rules prevent cache overwrites to them.
-
Fixed setreuid on MacOSX 10.4
- Fixed so make realclean works better, by Rober Edmonds
-
extra rc.d unbound flexibility for freebsd/nanobsd.
-
nicer do-auto log message when user sets incompatible options. DLV implemented.
-
variable name ameliorated in log.c.
-
in iana_update, no egrep, but awk use.
-
fixed, pidfile can be outside chroot. openlog is done
before chroot and drop permissions. logfile is created with correct
permissions again. Some errors are not written to logfile (pidfile writing,
forking), and these are only visible by using the -d commandline flag.
- Fix update-anchor.sh to work both in BSD shell and bash.
- Fix so unsigned additionals are not marked bogus, they are left
unchecked, since signatures may have fallen off due to message size.
Unchecked items are removed from the additional just like bogus is for
that message. Defers validation for those rrsets.
- Fix assertion fail on bogus key handling
- Fix so dnssec lameness detection works on first query at trust apex.
- Fix compilation without pthreads on linux.
- builtin iana assigned portlist updated
- ldns snapshot inside source tarball updated to 1.4.0
- Fix NSEC_AT_APEX classification for short typemaps.
- Fix nonblocking and timeouts on TCP sockets
- Fix for multiple simultaneous timeout back offs. Could cause trouble
for forwarders
- Fix SHA256 DS downgrade, no longer possible to downgrade to SHA1.
- Fix negative TTL values appearing (reported by Attila Nagy)
- detect if libssl needs libdl. For static linking with libssl.
- Fix build process for Mac OSX linker
- Fix possible memory leak in key_entry_key deletion.
Would leak a couple bytes when trust anchors were replaced.
- DNAMEs used from cache have their synthesized CNAMEs initialized
properly.
- Fix file descriptor leak for localzone type deny (for TCP).
- Fix memleak for the keyword 'nodefault' when reading config. Would
leak bytes per reload command received.
- Fix listen to closed fd, would log a message with
"bad file descriptor"

- fixed up statements of the form local-zone: "30.172.in-addr.arpa."
nodefault, so that the trailing dot is not required.
- reported by Robert Edmonds (akamai zones), fixed so that if multiple
CNAME records for a name are returned, the first is used.
- reported by Richard Doty for mail.opusnet.com, check lameness more
cautiously, first check SOA record, before looking at NS record, then,
additionally, check the AA bit.
- reported for newegg.com, more detailed lameness
checking to distinguish AAAA lameness from qtype A lameness.

call tzset before chroot to have correct timestamps in system log
-
fixed compilation failure on opensuse, the
--disable-static configure flag caused problems.
Patch from Klaus Singvogel
-
fixed unportable shell usage in configure (relied on bash)
-
same fix as 177.
-
fixed buffer overflow in unbound-checkconf use of strncat
-
fixed buffer overflow in ldns (called by unbound to parse config file parts)
-
pidfile, rundir, and chroot configure options. Also the example.conf and
manual pages get the configured defaults. You can use: (or accept the
defaults to /usr/local/etc/unbound/) --with-conf-file=filename
--with-pidfile=filename --with-run-dir=path --with-chroot-dir=path
-
-r option for unbound-host, read resolv.conf.
-
--disable-shared not passed along to ldns included with
unbound. Fixed so that configure parameters are passed to the
subdir configure script.
Fixed that ./libtool is used always, you can still override
manually with ./configure libtool=mylibtool or set $libtool in
the environment.

- This code is public beta and ready for deployment.
- updated ldns-tarball inside source from trunk for latest NSEC3
type codes
- installation to /usr/local/sbin by default now, like other servers do
- libunbound returns the full answer packet (with signatures,
additional data, NSECs ...)
- option 'use-caps-for-id: yesno', experimental implementation of
draft-dns-0x20.
- default configure uses builtin event mechanism, since it is faster
and usually good enough. Use libevent when you use huge outgoing port
ranges.
- Various optimisations
- make test shows an indication of cache speed
- unbound-host patch (from Jan-Piet Mens) to read config file
- added contrib/ dir with an /etc/rc.d script for FreeBSD
Bug Fixes
- --prefix option for configure also changes directory: pidfile:
and chroot: defaults in config file.
- fixed so you can start without a config file (will complain, but
start with defaults).
- fixed read of empty lines in /etc/hosts by libunbound
- fix to install all manual pages (unbound-host and libunbound pages
too)
- fixed memory leaks in libunbound (during cancellation and ub_wait).

- This code is beta and not recommended for operational
deployment.
- Remade verbosity levels, new level 2.
- can answer multiple queries over one TCP stream.
- library libunbound offers a validating stub implementation.
- unbound-host uses library to validate and lookup like host
- statistics-interval: seconds option added.
- interface-automatic: option added. Experimental, uses socket options to guarantee correct source address on UDP replies. Useful for multihomed hosts.
- Memory sizes in config can be given with k, m, or g
- Prints approximation of the median from histogram
- unbound-checkconf checks for local-net misconfigurations
Bug Fixes
- Fixed roothints and keyfiles access from chrooted daemon.
- Random generator uses less entropy.
