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
Section 6.2 of RFC4034 requires that "all uppercase US-ASCII letters in
the DNS names contained within the RDATA are replaced by the corresponding
lowercase US-ASCII letters" for a long list of RR types.
Fixes#14891
We'd call dns_resource_record_equal(), which calls dns_resource_key_equal()
internally, and then dns_resource_key_equal() a second time. Let's be
a bit smarter, and call dns_resource_key_equal() only once.
(before)
dns_resource_key_hash_func_count=514
dns_resource_key_compare_func_count=275
dns_resource_key_equal_count=62371
4.13s user 0.01s system 99% cpu 4.153 total
(after)
dns_resource_key_hash_func_count=514
dns_resource_key_compare_func_count=276
dns_resource_key_equal_count=31337
2.13s user 0.01s system 99% cpu 2.139 total
This doesn't necessarily make things faster, because we still spend more time
in dns_answer_add(), but it improves the compuational complexity of this part.
If we even make dns_resource_key_equal_faster, this will become worthwhile.
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1035#section-2.3.1 says (approximately)
that only letters, numbers, and non-leading non-trailing dashes are allowed
(for entries with A/AAAA records). We set no restrictions.
hosts(5) says:
> Host names may contain only alphanumeric characters, minus signs ("-"), and
> periods ("."). They must begin with an alphabetic character and end with an
> alphanumeric character.
nss-files follows those rules, and will ignore names in /etc/hosts that do not
follow this rule.
Let's follow the documented rules for /etc/hosts. In particular, this makes us
consitent with nss-files, reducing surprises for the user.
I'm pretty sure we should apply stricter filtering to names received over DNS
and LLMNR and MDNS, but it's a bigger project, because the rules differ
depepending on which level the label appears (rules for top-level names are
stricter), and this patch takes the minimalistic approach and only changes
behaviour for /etc/hosts.
Escape syntax is also disallowed in /etc/hosts, even if the resulting character
would be allowed. Other tools that parse /etc/hosts do not support this, and
there is no need to use it because no allowed characters benefit from escaping.
Ideally, coccinelle would strip unnecessary braces too. But I do not see any
option in coccinelle for this, so instead, I edited the patch text using
search&replace to remove the braces. Unfortunately this is not fully automatic,
in particular it didn't deal well with if-else-if-else blocks and ifdefs, so
there is an increased likelikehood be some bugs in such spots.
I also removed part of the patch that coccinelle generated for udev, where we
returns -1 for failure. This should be fixed independently.
Looked for definitions of functions using the *_compare_func() suffix.
Tested:
- Unit tests passed (ninja -C build/ test)
- Installed this build and booted with it.
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.
dns_packet_new() is sometimes called with mtu == 0, and in that case we should
allocate more than the absolute minimum (which is the dns packet header size),
otherwise we have to resize immediately again after appending the first data to
the packet.
This partially reverts the previous commit.
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.
