Throughout the tree there's spurious use of spaces separating ++ and --
operators from their respective operands. Make ++ and -- operator
consistent with the majority of existing uses; discard the spaces.
When a transaction is complete, and we notify its owners, make sure we deal
correctly with the requesters removing themselves from the list of owners while
we continue iterating.
This was previously already dealt with with transactions that require other
transactions for DNSSEC purposes, fix this for other possibly transaction
owners too now.
Since iterating through "Set" objects is not safe regarding removal of entries
from it, rework the logic to use two Sets, and move each entry we notified from
one set to the other set before we dispatch the notification. This move operation
requires no additional memory, and enables us to ensure that we don't notify
any object twice.
Fixes: #2676
When the buffer is allocated on the stack we do not have to check for
failure everywhere. This is especially useful in debug statements, because
we can put dns_resource_key_to_string() call in the debug statement, and
we do not need a seperate if (log_level >= LOG_DEBUG) for the conversion.
dns_resource_key_to_string() is changed not to provide any whitespace
padding. Most callers were stripping the whitespace with strstrip(),
and it did not look to well anyway. systemd-resolve output is not column
aligned anymore.
The result of the conversion is not stored in DnsTransaction object
anymore. It is used only for debugging, so it seems fine to generate it
when needed.
Various debug statements are extended to provide more information.
Previously, if a hostanem is resolved with AF_UNSPEC specified, this would be used as indication to resolve both an
AF_INET and an AF_INET6 address. With this change this logic is altered: an AF_INET address is only resolved if there's
actually a routable IPv4 address on the specific interface, and similar an AF_INET6 address is only resolved if there's
a routable IPv6 address. With this in place, it's ensured that the returned data is actually connectable by
applications. This logic mimics glibc's resolver behaviour.
Note that if the client asks explicitly for AF_INET or AF_INET6 it will get what it asked for.
This also simplifies the logic how it is determined whether a specific lookup shall take place on a scope.
Specifically, the checks with dns_scope_good_key() are now moved out of the transaction code and into the query code,
so that we don't even create a transaction object on a specific scope if we cannot execute the resolution on it anyway.
If we encounter NXDOMAIN, but find at least one matching RR in a response, then patch it to become SUCCESS. This should
clean up handling of CNAME/DNAMEs, and makes sure broken servers and those conforming to RFC 6604 are treated the same
way. The new behaviour opposes the logic suggested in RFC 6604, but given that some servers don't implement it
correctly, and given that in some ways the CNAME/DNAME chains will be incomplete anyway, and given that DNSSEC
generally only allows us to prove the first element of a CNAME/DNAME chain, this should simplify things for us.
So far, abritrary NSEC and NSEC3 RRs were implicitly consider "primary" for any transaction, meaning we'd abort the
transaction immediately if we couldn't validate it. With this patch this logic is removed, and the NSEC/NSEC3 RRs will
not be considered primary anymore. This has the effect that they will be dropped from the message if they don't
validate, but processing continues. This is safe to do, as they are required anyway to validate positive wildcard and
negative responses, and if they are missing then, then message will be considered unsigned, which hence means the
outcome is effectively the same.
This is benefical in case the server sends us NSEC/NSEC3 RRs that are not directly related to the lookup we did, but
simply auxiliary information. Previously, if we couldn't authenticate those RRs we'd fail the entire lookup while with
this change we'll simply drop the auxiliary information and proceed without it.
Whenever we encounter an OS error we did not expect, we so far put the transaction into DNS_TRANSACTION_RESOURCES
state. Rename this state to DNS_TRANSACTION_ERRNO, and save + propagate the actual system error to the caller. This
should make error messages triggered by system errors much more readable by the user.
If we downgrade from DNSSEC to non-DNSSEC mode, let's log about this in a recognizable way (i.e. with a message ID),
after all, this is of major importance.
The LLMNR spec suggests to do do reverse address lookups by doing direct LLMNR/TCP connections to the indicated
address, instead of doing any LLMNR multicast queries. When we do this and the peer doesn't actually implement LLMNR
this will result in a TCP connection error, which we need to handle. In contrast to most LLMNR lookups this will give
us a quick response on whether we can find a suitable name. Report this as new transaction state, since this should
mostly be treated like an NXDOMAIN rcode, except that it's not one.
We already maintain statistics about positive DNSSEC proofs, and count them up by 1 for each validated RRset. Now,
update the same counters each time we validated a negative query, so that the statistics are the combined result of all
validation checks, both positive and negative.
When we restart a transaction because of an incompatible server, pick a new transaction ID.
This should increase compatibility with DNS servers that don't like if they get different requests with the same
transaction ID.
given that DNSSEC lookups may result in quite a number of auxiliary transactions, let's better be safe than sorry and
also enforce a limit on the number of total transactions, not just on the number of queries.
Previously, when getting notified about a completed auxiliary DNSSEC transaction we'd immediately act on it, and
possibly abort the main transaction. This is problematic, as DNS transactions that already completed at the time we
started using them will never get the notification event, and hence never be acted on in the same way.
Hence, introduce a new call dns_transaction_dnssec_ready() that checks the state of auxiliary DNSSEC transactions, and
returns 1 when we are ready for the actual DNSSEC validation step. Then, make sure this is invoked when the auxiliary
transactions are first acquired (and thus possibly reused) as well when the notifications explained above take place.
This fixes problems particularly when doing combined A and AAAA lookups where the auxiliary DNSSEC transactions get
reused between them, and where we got confused if we reused an auxiliary DNSSEC transaction from one when it already
got completed from the other.
If we have a signed DNAME RR response, there's no need to insist on a signature for a CNAME RR response, after all it
is unlikely to be signed, given the implicit synthethis of CNAME through DNAME RRs.
In some cases we learn something about a server's feature level through its responses. If we notice that after doing
basic checking of a response, and after collecting all auxiliary DNSSEC info the feature level of the server is lower
than where we started, restart the whole transaction.
This is useful to deal with servers that response rubbish when talked to with too high feature levels.
Let's make sure we first check if the OPT was lost in the reply, before we accept a reply as successful and use it for
verifying the current feature level.
When we restart a DNS transaction, remove all connections to any auxiliary DNSSEC transactions, after all we might
acquire completely different data this time, requiring different auxiliary DNSSEC transactions.
This adds logic to downgrade the feature level more aggressively when we have reason to. Specifically:
- When we get a response packet that lacks an OPT RR for a query that had it. If so, downgrade immediately to UDP mode,
i.e. don't generate EDNS0 packets anymore.
- When we get a response which we are sure should be signed, but lacks RRSIG RRs, we downgrade to EDNS0 mode, i.e.
below DO mode, since DO is apparently not really supported.
This should increase compatibility with servers that generate non-sensical responses if they messages with OPT RRs and
suchlike, for example the situation described here:
https://open.nlnetlabs.nl/pipermail/dnssec-trigger/2014-November/000376.html
This also changes the downgrade code to explain in a debug log message why a specific downgrade happened.
Having this information available is useful when we need to check whether various RRs are suitable for proofs. This
information is stored in the RRs as number of labels to skip from the beginning of the owner name to reach the
synthesizing source/signer. Simple accessor calls are then added to retrieve the signer/source from the RR using this
information.
This also moves validation of a a number of RRSIG parameters into a new call dnssec_rrsig_prepare() that as side-effect
initializes the two numeric values.
Given how fragile DNS servers are with some DNS types, and given that we really should avoid confusing them with
known-weird lookups, refuse doing lookups for known-obsolete RR types.
Move detection into a set of new functions, that check whether one specific server can do DNSSEC, whether a server and
a specific transaction can do DNSSEC, or whether a transaction and all its auxiliary transactions could do so.
Also, do these checks both before we acquire additional RRs for the validation (so that we can skip them if the server
doesn't do DNSSEC anyway), and after we acquired them all (to see if any of the lookups changed our opinion about the
servers).
THis also tightens the checks a bit: a server that lacks TCP support is considered incompatible with DNSSEC too.
This changes the DnsServer logic to count failed UDP and TCP failures separately. This is useful so that we don't end
up downgrading the feature level from one UDP level to a lower UDP level just because a TCP connection we did because
of a TC response failed.
This also adds accounting of truncated packets. If we detect incoming truncated packets, and count too many failed TCP
connections (which is the normal fall back if we get a trucnated UDP packet) we downgrade the feature level, given that
the responses at the current levels don't get through, and we somehow need to make sure they become smaller, which they
will do if we don't request DNSSEC or EDNS support.
This makes resolved work much better with crappy DNS servers that do not implement TCP and only limited UDP packet
sizes, but otherwise support DNSSEC RRs. They end up choking on the generally larger DNSSEC RRs and there's no way to
retrieve the full data.
If we already degraded the feature level below DO don't bother with sending requests for DS, DNSKEY, RRSIG, NSEC, NSEC3
or NSEC3PARAM RRs. After all, we cannot do DNSSEC validation then anyway, and we better not press a legacy server like
this with such modern concepts.
This also has the benefit that when we try to validate a response we received using DNSSEC, and we detect a limited
server support level while doing so, all further auxiliary DNSSEC queries will fail right-away.
UDP ICMP errors are reported to us via recvmsg() when we read a reply. Handle this properly, and consider this a lost
packet, and retry the connection.
This also adds some additional logging for invalid incoming packets.
Previously, when we couldn't connect to a DNS server via TCP we'd abort the whole transaction using a
"connection-failure" state. This change removes that, and counts failed connections as "lost packet" events, so that
we switch back to the UDP protocol again.
This implements RFC 5155, Section 8.8 and RFC 4035, Section 5.3.4:
When we receive a response with an RRset generated from a wildcard we
need to look for one NSEC/NSEC3 RR that proves that there's no explicit RR
around before we accept the wildcard RRset as response.
This patch does a couple of things: the validation calls will now
identify wildcard signatures for us, and let us know the RRSIG used (so
that the RRSIG's signer field let's us know what the wildcard was that
generate the entry). Moreover, when iterating trough the RRsets of a
response we now employ three phases instead of just two.
a) in the first phase we only look for DNSKEYs RRs
b) in the second phase we only look for NSEC RRs
c) in the third phase we look for all kinds of RRs
Phase a) is necessary, since DNSKEYs "unlock" more signatures for us,
hence we shouldn't assume a key is missing until all DNSKEY RRs have
been processed.
Phase b) is necessary since NSECs need to be validated before we can
validate wildcard RRs due to the logic explained above.
Phase c) validates everything else. This phase also handles RRsets that
cannot be fully validated and removes them or lets the transaction fail.
When validating a transaction we initially collect DNSKEY, DS, SOA RRs
in the "validated_keys" list, that we need for the proofs. This includes
DNSKEY and DS data from our trust anchor database. Quite possibly we
learn that some of these DNSKEY/DS RRs have been revoked between the
time we request and collect those additional RRs and we begin the
validation step. In this case we need to make sure that the respective
DS/DNSKEY RRs are removed again from our list. This patch adds that, and
strips known revoked trust anchor RRs from the validated list before we
begin the actual validation proof, and each time we add more DNSKEY
material to it while we are doing the proof.
Instead of first iterating through all DNSKEYs in the DnsAnswer in
dns_transaction_check_revoked_trust_anchors(), and
then doing that a second time in dns_trust_anchor_check_revoked(), do so
only once in the former, and pass the dnskey we found directly to the
latter.
There's not reason to wait for checking for revoked trust anchors until
after validation, after all revoked DNSKEYs only need to be self-signed,
but not have a full trust chain.
This way, we can be sure that all trust anchor lookups we do during
validation already honour that some keys might have been revoked.
