Properly handle RRs that begin with an asterisk label. These are the unexpanded forms of wildcard domains and appear in
NSEC RRs for example. We need to make sure we handle the signatures of these RRs properly, since they mostly are
considered normal RRs, except that the RRSIG labels counter is one off for them, as the asterisk label is always
excluded of the signature.
Allow for overriding all other machine-ids which may be present on
the system using a kernel command line systemd.machine_id or
--machine-id= option.
This is especially useful for network booted systems where the
machine-id needs to be static, or for containers where a specific
machine-id is wanted.
Set SD_EVENT_PROFILE_DELAYS to activate accounting and periodic logging
of the distribution of delays between sd_event_run() calls.
Time spent in dispatching as well as time spent outside of
sd_event_run() is measured and accounted for. Every 5 seconds a
logarithmic histogram loop iteration delays since 5 seconds previous is
logged.
This is useful in identifying the frequency and magnitude of latencies
affecting the event loop, which should be kept to a minimum.
This patch adds support for ambient capabilities in service files. The
idea with ambient capabilities is that the execed processes can run with
non-root user and get some inherited capabilities, without having any
need to add the capabilities to the executable file.
You need at least Linux 4.3 to use ambient capabilities. SecureBit
keep-caps is automatically added when you use ambient capabilities and
wish to change the user.
An example system service file might look like this:
[Unit]
Description=Service for testing caps
[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/sleep 10000
User=nobody
AmbientCapabilities=CAP_NET_ADMIN CAP_NET_RAW
After starting the service it has these capabilities:
CapInh: 0000000000003000
CapPrm: 0000000000003000
CapEff: 0000000000003000
CapBnd: 0000003fffffffff
CapAmb: 0000000000003000
Change the capability bounding set parser and logic so that the bounding
set is kept as a positive set internally. This means that the set
reflects those capabilities that we want to keep instead of drop.
function.
Not sure if this results in an exploitable buffer overflow, probably not
since the the int value is likely sanitized somewhere earlier and it's
being put through a bit mask shortly before being used.
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.
Under the assumption that packet failures (i.e. FORMERR, SERVFAIL, NOTIMP) are caused by packet contents, not used
transport, we shouldn't switch between UDP and TCP when we get them, but only downgrade the higher levels down to UDP.
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.
If we failed to contact a DNS server via TCP, bump of the feature level to UDP again. This way we'll switch back
between UDP and TCP if we fail to contact a host.
Generally, we prefer UDP over TCP, which is why UDP is a higher feature level. But some servers only support UDP but
not TCP hence when reaching the lowest feature level of TCP and want to downgrade from there, pick UDP again. We this
keep downgrading until we reach TCP and then we cycle through UDP and TCP.
