We previously checked the QR bit to decide whether the RFC6975 algorithm
data in our packets. But that doesn't work in many cases, since we
initialize the QR flags along with the other flags usually only after
appending OPT (since success to do so propagates into flags). Hence,
let's add an explicit parameter that controls whether to include RFC6975
data in DNS packets, and set it to false for stub reply, and on true for
upstream queries.
Fixes: #17217
DnsPacket should better be a "dead" object, i.e. list facts, not track
resources. By including an fd in its fields it started tracking
resources however, without actually taking a ref to the fd (i.e. no
dup() or so was called on it).
Let's hence rework things so that we don#t have to keep track of the fd
a packet came in from. Instead, pass around the DnsStubListenerExtra
object wherever we need to.
This should be useful as soon as we start caching whole DnsPacket
objects to allow replying to DNSSEC/CO packets, i.e. where we have to
keep a copy of the original DnsPacket around for a long time in cache,
potentially much longer than the fds the packet was received on.
DNS_PACKET_PAYLOAD_SIZE_MAX is limiting the size of the stub replies to
512 with EDNS off or 4096 with EDNS on, without checking the protocol
used. This makes TCP replies for clients without EDNS support to be
limited to 512, making the truncate flag useless if the query result is
bigger than 512 bytes.
This commit increases the size of TCP replies to DNS_PACKET_SIZE_MAX

These lines are generally out-of-date, incomplete and unnecessary. With
SPDX and git repository much more accurate and fine grained information
about licensing and authorship is available, hence let's drop the
per-file copyright notice. Of course, removing copyright lines of others
is problematic, hence this commit only removes my own lines and leaves
all others untouched. It might be nicer if sooner or later those could
go away too, making git the only and accurate source of authorship
information.
This part of the copyright blurb stems from the GPL use recommendations:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html
The concept appears to originate in times where version control was per
file, instead of per tree, and was a way to glue the files together.
Ultimately, we nowadays don't live in that world anymore, and this
information is entirely useless anyway, as people are very welcome to
copy these files into any projects they like, and they shouldn't have to
change bits that are part of our copyright header for that.
hence, let's just get rid of this old cruft, and shorten our codebase a
bit.
Files which are installed as-is (any .service and other unit files, .conf
files, .policy files, etc), are left as is. My assumption is that SPDX
identifiers are not yet that well known, so it's better to retain the
extended header to avoid any doubt.
I also kept any copyright lines. We can probably remove them, but it'd nice to
obtain explicit acks from all involved authors before doing that.
When we a reply message gets longer than the client supports we need to
truncate the response and set the TC bit, and we already do that.
However, we are not supposed to send incomplete RRs in that case, but
instead truncate right at a record boundary. Do that.
This fixes the "Message parser reports malformed message packet."
warning the venerable "host" tool outputs when a very large response is
requested.
See: #6520
Actually the caller of dns_packet_new() pass 0 or the data size of the UDP message.
So try to reflect that, so rename the `mtu` parameter to `min_alloc_dsize`.
In fact `mtu` is the size of the whole UDP message, including the UDP header,
and here we just need to pass the size of data (without header). This was confusing.
Also add a check on the requested allocated size, since some caller do not check what is really allocated.
Indeed the function do not allocate more than DNS_PACKET_SIZE_MAX whatever the value of the `mtu` parameter.
The allocation size was calculated in a complicated way, and for values
close to the page size we would actually allocate less than requested.

CVE-2017-9445
In order to improve compatibility with local clients that speak DNS directly
(and do not use NSS or our bus API) listen locally on 127.0.0.53:53 and process
any queries made that way.
Note that resolved does not implement a full DNS server on this port, but
simply enough to allow normal, local clients to resolve RRs through resolved.
Specifically it does not implement queries without the RD bit set (these are
requests where recursive lookups are explicitly disabled), and neither queries
with DNSSEC DO set in combination with DNSSEC CD (i.e. DNSSEC lookups with
validation turned off). It also refuses zone transfers and obsolete RR types.
All lookups done this way will be rejected with a clean error code, so that the
client side can repeat the query with a reduced feature set.
The code will set the DNSSEC AD flag however, depending on whether the data
resolved has been validated (or comes from a local, trusted source).
Lookups made via this mechanisms are propagated to LLMNR and mDNS as necessary,
but this is only partially useful as DNS packets cannot carry IP scope data
(i.e. the ifindex), and hence link-local addresses returned cannot be used
properly (and given that LLMNR/mDNS are mostly about link-local communication
this is quite a limitation). Also, given that DNS tends to use IDNA for
non-ASCII names, while LLMNR/mDNS uses UTF-8 lookups cannot be mapped 1:1.
In general this should improve compatibility with clients bypassing NSS but
it is highly recommended for clients to instead use NSS or our native bus API.
This patch also beefs up the DnsStream logic, as it reuses the code for local
TCP listening. DnsStream now provides proper reference counting for its
objects.
In order to avoid feedback loops resolved will no silently ignore 127.0.0.53
specified as DNS server when reading configuration.
resolved listens on 127.0.0.53:53 instead of 127.0.0.1:53 in order to leave
the latter free for local, external DNS servers or forwarders.
This also changes the "etc.conf" tmpfiles snippet to create a symlink from
/etc/resolv.conf to /usr/lib/systemd/resolv.conf by default, thus making this
stub the default mode of operation if /etc is not populated.
This moves management of the OPT RR out of the scope management and into
the server and packet management. There are now explicit calls for
appending and truncating the OPT RR from a packet
(dns_packet_append_opt() and dns_packet_truncate_opt()) as well as a
call to do the right thing depending on a DnsServer's feature level
(dns_server_adjust_opt()).
This also unifies the code to pick a server between the TCP and UDP code
paths, and makes sure the feature level used for the transaction is
selected at the time the server is picked, and not changed until the
next time we pick a server. The server selction code is now unified in
dns_transaction_pick_server().
This all fixes problems when changing between UDP and TCP communication
for the same server, and makes sure the UDP and TCP codepaths are more
alike. It also makes sure we never keep the UDP port open when switchung
to TCP, so that we don't have to handle incoming datagrams on the latter
we don't expect.
As the new code picks the DNS server at the time we make a connection,
we don't need to invalidate the DNS server anymore when changing to the
next one, thus dns_transaction_next_dns_server() has been removed.
This adds a new DnsAnswer item flag "DNS_ANSWER_SHARED_OWNER" which is
set for mDNS RRs that lack the cache-flush bit. The cache-flush bit is
removed from the DnsResourceRecord object in favour of this.
This also splits out the code that removes previous entries when adding
new positive ones into a new separate call dns_cache_remove_previous().
As soon as we encounter the OPT RR while parsing, store it in a special
field in the DnsPacket structure. That way, we won't be confused if we
iterate through RRs, and can check that there's really only one of these
RRs around.
For mDNS, we need to support the TC bit in case the list of known answers
exceed the maximum packet size.
For this, add a 'more' pointer to DnsPacket for an additional packet.
When a packet is unref'ed, the ->more packet is also unrefed, so it
sufficient to only keep track of the 1st packet in a chain.
We need to support the TC bit in queries in case known answers exceed the
maximum packet size. Factor out the flags compilation to
dns_packet_set_flags() and make it externally available.
This adds a new SD_RESOLVED_AUTHENTICATED flag for responses we return
on the bus. When set, then the data has been authenticated. For now this
mostly reflects the DNSSEC AD bit, if DNSSEC=trust is set. As soon as
the client-side validation is complete it will be hooked up to this flag
too.
We also set this bit whenver we generated the data ourselves, for
example, because it originates in our local LLMNR zone, or from the
built-in trust anchor database.
The "systemd-resolve-host" tool has been updated to show the flag state
for the data it shows.
The setting controls which kind of DNSSEC validation is done: none at
all, trusting the AD bit, or client-side validation.
For now, no validation is implemented, hence the setting doesn't do much
yet, except of toggling the CD bit in the generated messages if full
client-side validation is requested.
This adds dns_resource_record_to_wire_format() that generates the raw
wire-format of a single DnsResourceRecord object, and caches it in the
object, optionally in DNSSEC canonical form. This call is used later to
generate the RR serialization of RRs to verify.
This adds four new fields to DnsResourceRecord objects:
- wire_format points to the buffer with the wire-format version of the
RR
- wire_format_size stores the size of that buffer
- wire_format_rdata_offset specifies the index into the buffer where the
RDATA of the RR begins (i.e. the size of the key part of the RR).
- wire_format_canonical is a boolean that stores whether the cached wire
format is in DNSSEC canonical form or not.
Note that this patch adds a mode where a DnsPacket is allocated on the
stack (instead of on the heap), so that it is cheaper to reuse the
DnsPacket object for generating this wire format. After all we reuse the
DnsPacket object for this, since it comes with all the dynamic memory
management, and serialization calls we need anyway.
When verifying signatures we need to be able to verify the original
data we got for an RR set, and that means we cannot simply drop flags
bits or consider RRs invalid too eagerly. Hence, instead of parsing the
DNSKEY flags store them as-is. Similar, accept the protocol field as it
is, and don't consider it a parsing error if it is not 3.
Of course, this means that the DNSKEY handling code later on needs to
check explicit for protocol != 3.
This is often needed for proper DNSSEC support, and even to handle AAAA records
without falling back to TCP.
If the path between the client and server is fully compliant, this should always
work, however, that is not the case, and overlarge packets will get mysteriously
lost in some cases.
For that reason, we use a similar fallback mechanism as we do for palin EDNS0,
EDNS0+DO, etc.:
The large UDP size feature is different from the other supported feature, as we
cannot simply verify that it works based on receiving a reply (as the server
will usually send us much smaller packets than what we claim to support, so
simply receiving a reply does not mean much).
For that reason, we keep track of the largest UDP packet we ever received, as this
is the smallest known good size (defaulting to the standard 512 bytes). If
announcing the default large size of 4096 fails (in the same way as the other
features), we fall back to the known good size. The same logic of retrying after a
grace-period applies.
This indicates that we can handle DNSSEC records (per RFC3225), even if
all we do is silently drop them. This feature requires EDNS0 support.
As we do not yet support larger UDP packets, this feature increases the
risk of getting truncated packets.
Similarly to how we fall back to plain UDP if EDNS0 fails, we will fall
back to plain EDNS0 if EDNS0+DO fails (with the same logic of remembering
success and retrying after a grace period after failure).
This is a minimal implementation of RFC6891. Only default values
are used, so in reality this will be a noop.
EDNS0 support is dependent on the current server's feature level,
so appending the OPT pseudo RR is done when the packet is emitted,
rather than when it is assembled. To handle different feature
levels on retransmission, we strip off the OPT RR again after
sending the packet.
Similarly, to how we fall back to TCP if UDP fails, we fall back
to plain UDP if EDNS0 fails (but if EDNS0 ever succeeded we never
fall back again, and after a timeout we will retry EDNS0).
