This large patch adds a couple of mechanisms to ensure we get NSEC3 and
proof-of-unsigned support into place. Specifically:
- Each item in an DnsAnswer gets two bit flags now:
DNS_ANSWER_AUTHENTICATED and DNS_ANSWER_CACHEABLE. The former is
necessary since DNS responses might contain signed as well as unsigned
RRsets in one, and we need to remember which ones are signed and which
ones aren't. The latter is necessary, since not we need to keep track
which RRsets may be cached and which ones may not be, even while
manipulating DnsAnswer objects.
- The .n_answer_cachable of DnsTransaction is dropped now (it used to
store how many of the first DnsAnswer entries are cachable), and
replaced by the DNS_ANSWER_CACHABLE flag instead.
- NSEC3 proofs are implemented now (lacking support for the wildcard
part, to be added in a later commit).
- Support for the "AD" bit has been dropped. It's unsafe, and now that
we have end-to-end authentication we don't need it anymore.
- An auxiliary DnsTransaction of a DnsTransactions is now kept around as
least as long as the latter stays around. We no longer remove the
auxiliary DnsTransaction as soon as it completed. THis is necessary,
as we now are interested not only in the RRsets it acquired but also
in its authentication status.
Apart from dropping redundant information, this fixes an issue
where, due to broken DNS servers, we can only be certain of whether
an apparent NODATA response is in fact an NXDOMAIN response after
explicitly resolving the canonical name. This issue is outlined in
RFC2308. Moreover, by caching NXDOMAIN for an existing name, we
would mistakenly return NXDOMAIN for types which should not be
redirected. I.e., a query for AAAA on test-nx-1.jklm.no correctly
returns NXDOMAIN, but a query for CNAME should return the record
and a query for DNAME should return NODATA.
Note that this means we will not cache an NXDOMAIN response in the
presence of redirection, meaning one redundant roundtrip in case the
name is queried again.
This adds initial support for validating RRSIG/DNSKEY/DS chains when
doing lookups. Proof-of-non-existance, or proof-of-unsigned-zones is not
implemented yet.
With this change DnsTransaction objects will generate additional
DnsTransaction objects when looking for DNSKEY or DS RRs to validate an
RRSIG on a response. DnsTransaction objects are thus created for three
reasons now:
1) Because a user asked for something to be resolved, i.e. requested by
a DnsQuery/DnsQueryCandidate object.
2) As result of LLMNR RR probing, requested by a DnsZoneItem.
3) Because another DnsTransaction requires the requested RRs for
validation of its own response.
DnsTransactions are shared between all these users, and are GC
automatically as soon as all of these users don't need a specific
transaction anymore.
To unify the handling of these three reasons for existance for a
DnsTransaction, a new common naming is introduced: each DnsTransaction
now tracks its "owners" via a Set* object named "notify_xyz", containing
all owners to notify on completion.
A new DnsTransaction state is introduced called "VALIDATING" that is
entered after a response has been receieved which needs to be validated,
as long as we are still waiting for the DNSKEY/DS RRs from other
DnsTransactions.
This patch will request the DNSKEY/DS RRs bottom-up, and then validate
them top-down.
Caching of RRs is now only done after verification, so that the cache is
not poisoned with known invalid data.
The "DnsAnswer" object gained a substantial number of new calls, since
we need to add/remove RRs to it dynamically now.
This adds support for searching single-label hostnames in a set of
configured search domains.
A new object DnsQueryCandidate is added that links queries to scopes.
It keeps track of the search domain last used for a query on a specific
link. Whenever a host name was unsuccessfuly resolved on a scope all its
transactions are flushed out and replaced by a new set, with the next
search domain appended.
This also adds a new flag SD_RESOLVED_NO_SEARCH to disable search domain
behaviour. The "systemd-resolve-host" tool is updated to make this
configurable via --search=.
Fixes#1697
This also adds client-side support for this to systemd-resolve-host.
Note that the ResolveService() API can deal both with DNS-SD service
(consisting of service name, type and domain), as well as classic SRV
services (consisting just of a type and a domain), all exposed in the
same call.
This patch also reworks CNAME handling in order to reuse it between
hostname, RR and service lookups.
In contrast to Avahi and Bonjour, this new API will actually reolve the
A/AAAA RRs the SRV RRs point to in one go (unless this is explicitly
disabled). This normally comes for free, as these RRs are sent along
the SRV responses anyway, hence let's make use of that. This makes the
API considerably easier to use, as a single ResolveService() invocation
will return all necessary data to pick a server and connect() to it.
Note that this only implements the DNS-SD resolving step, it does not
implement DNS-SD browsing, as that makes sense primarily on mDNS, due to
its continuous nature.
When a NXDATA or a NODATA response is received for an alias it may
include CNAME records from the redirect chain. We should cache the
response for each of these names to avoid needless roundtrips in
the future.
It is not sufficient to do the negative caching only for the
canonical name, as the included redirection chain is not guaranteed
to be complete. In fact, only the final CNAME record from the chain
is guaranteed to be included.
We take care not to cache entries that redirects outside the current
zone, as the SOA will then not be valid.
With this change we'll now also generate synthesized RRs for the local
LLMNR hostname (first label of system hostname), the local mDNS hostname
(first label of system hostname suffixed with .local), the "gateway"
hostname and all the reverse PTRs. This hence takes over part of what
nss-myhostname already implemented.
Local hostnames resolve to the set of local IP addresses. Since the
addresses are possibly on different interfaces it is necessary to change
the internal DnsAnswer object to track per-RR interface indexes, and to
change the bus API to always return the interface per-address rather than
per-reply. This change also patches the existing clients for resolved
accordingly (nss-resolve + systemd-resolve-host).
This also changes the routing logic for queries slightly: we now ensure
that the local hostname is never resolved via LLMNR, thus making it
trustable on the local system.
