We later rely that the DnsAnswer object contains all RRs from the
original packet, at least when it comes to the answer and authorization
sections, hence we better make sure we don#t silently end up removing an
OPT RR from these two sections.
When the DNS_RESOURCE_KEY_CACHE_FLUSH flag is not set for an mDNS packet, we should not flush
the cache for RRs with matching keys. However, we were unconditionally flushing the cache
also for these packets.
Now mark all packets as cache_flush by default, except for these mDNS packets, and respect
that flag in the cache handling.
This fixes 90325e8c2e.
The logic of dns_cache_get() is now:
- look up the precise key;
- look up NXDOMAIN item;
- if an RR type that may be redirected
(i.e., not CNAME, DNAME, RRSIG, NSEC, NSEC3, SIG, KEY, or
NXT) look up a correpsonding CNAME or DNAME record;
- look up a corresponding NSEC record;
Before this change we would give up before potentially finding
negative cache entries for DNAME, CNAME and NSEC records, we
would return NSEC records for aliases where we had DNAME or CNAME
records available and we would incorrectly try to redirect DNSSEC RRs.
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.
The current code is not compatible with current dkr protocols anyway,
and dkr has a different focus ("microservices") than nspawn anyway
("whole machine containers"), hence drop support for it, we cannot
reasonably keep this up to date, and it creates the impression we'd
actually care for the microservices usecase.
The file /sys/module/ipv6 does not exist in all container
implementations (e.g. Virtuozzo). Using /proc/net/sockstat6
detects IPv6 support reliably in these environments, too.
This file does not exist when the kernel is not compiled with
IPv6 support, or if IPv6 support is disabled, so simply checking
for existence should be a suitable check.
Fixes#2059
Let's simply call it dns_transaction_prepare(), so that we have the nice
cycle for prepare() → go() → emit() → process().
After all it's pretty clear that what we prepare there, and we dont call
the others go_next_attempt(), emit_next_attempt() or
process_next_attempt().
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.
When increasing the DnsAnswer array, don't operate piecemeal, grow the
array exponentially.
This way, the default logic for DnsAnswer allocations matches the
behaviour for GREEDY_REALLOC and suchlike, and we can reduce the number
of necessary allocations.
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.
DnsAnswer objects should be considered immutable after having passed to
more than one user, i.e. with a reference counter > 1. Enforce that in
code, so that we can track down misuses easier.
Quoting @teg:
"Contrary to what the comment said, we always verify redirect chains in
full, and cache all the CNAME records. There is therefore no need to
do extra negative caching along a CNAME chain."
This simply steals @teg's commit since we'll touch the SOA matching case
in a later patch, and rather want this bit gone, so that we don't have
to "fix" it, only to remove it later on.
After all, that's how this is done in DNS, and is particularly important
if we look a DS/DNSKEY RRs for the root zone itself, where the owner
name would otherwise be shown as completely empty (i.e. missing).
When iterating through RR lists we frequently end up comparing RRs and
RR keys with themselves, hence att a minor optimization to check ptr
values first, before doing a deep comparison.
For mDNS, if we're unable to stuff all known answers into the given packet,
allocate a new one, push the RR into that one and link it to the current
one.
In dns_scope_emit(), walk the list of additional packets and emit all of
them. Set the TC bit in all but the last of them.
This is specific to mDNS, so an assertion is triggered if used with other
protocols.
