This implements RFC 5155, Section 8.8 and RFC 4035, Section 5.3.4:
When we receive a response with an RRset generated from a wildcard we
need to look for one NSEC/NSEC3 RR that proves that there's no explicit RR
around before we accept the wildcard RRset as response.
This patch does a couple of things: the validation calls will now
identify wildcard signatures for us, and let us know the RRSIG used (so
that the RRSIG's signer field let's us know what the wildcard was that
generate the entry). Moreover, when iterating trough the RRsets of a
response we now employ three phases instead of just two.
a) in the first phase we only look for DNSKEYs RRs
b) in the second phase we only look for NSEC RRs
c) in the third phase we look for all kinds of RRs
Phase a) is necessary, since DNSKEYs "unlock" more signatures for us,
hence we shouldn't assume a key is missing until all DNSKEY RRs have
been processed.
Phase b) is necessary since NSECs need to be validated before we can
validate wildcard RRs due to the logic explained above.
Phase c) validates everything else. This phase also handles RRsets that
cannot be fully validated and removes them or lets the transaction fail.
There's now nsec3_hashed_domain_format() and nsec3_hashed_domain_make().
The former takes a hash value and formats it as domain, the latter takes
a domain name, hashes it and then invokes nsec3_hashed_domain_format().
This way we can reuse more code, as the formatting logic can be unified
between this call and another place.
The domain name for this NSEC3 RR was originally stored in a variable
called "suffix", which was then renamed to "zone" in
d1511b3338. Hence also rename the
RR variable accordingly.
When storing negative responses, clamp the SOA minimum TTL (as suggested
by RFC2308) to the TTL of the NSEC/NSEC3 RRs we used to prove
non-existance, if it there is any.
This is necessary since otherwise an attacker might put together a faked
negative response for one of our question including a high-ttl SOA RR
for any parent zone, and we'd use trust the TTL.
With this patch resolved will properly handle revoked keys, but not
augment the locally configured trust anchor database with newly learned
keys.
Specifically, resolved now refuses validating RRsets with
revoked keys, and it will remove revoked keys from the configured trust
anchors (only until reboot).
This patch does not add logic for adding new keys to the set of trust
anchors. This is a deliberate decision as this only can work with
persistent disk storage, and would result in a different update logic
for stateful and stateless systems. Since we have to support stateless
systems anyway, and don't want to encourage two independent upgrade
paths we focus on upgrading the trust anchor database via the usual OS
upgrade logic.
Whenever a trust anchor entry is found revoked and removed from the
trust anchor a recognizable log message is written, encouraging the user
to update the trust anchor or update his operating system.
When applying canonical DNSSEC ordering for an RRset only order by the
wire format of the RRs' RDATA, not by the full wire formatting. The RFC
isn't particularly clear about this, but this is apparently how it is
done. This fixes validation of pentagon.gov's DS RRset.
This adds negative trust anchor support and allows reading trust anchor
data from disk, from files
/etc/systemd/dnssec-trust-anchors.d/*.positive and
/etc/systemd/dnssec-trust-anchros.d/*.negative, as well as the matching
counterparts in /usr/lib and /run.
The positive trust anchor files are more or less compatible to normal
DNS zone files containing DNSKEY and DS RRs. The negative trust anchor
files contain only new-line separated hostnames for which to require no
signing.
By default no trust anchor files are installed, in which case the
compiled-in root domain DS RR is used, as before. As soon as at least
one positive root anchor for the root is defined via trust anchor files
this buil-in DS RR is not added though.
For NXDOMAIN, it is not sufficient to prove that the next-closest
enclosure does not exist, we must also prove that there is no
wildcard domain directly below the closest enclosure which would
synthesise the name that has been requested.
For positive responses, in addition to exact matches, we should
accept wildcard ones. In that case we must first prove that
there is no precise match (i.e., that the closest encounter
is not the record itself) and secondly that the source of
synthesis exists.
Previously, we'd use the same set of identifiers for both, but that's
actually incorrect. It didn't matter much since the only NSEC3 hash
algorithm defined (SHA-1) is mapped to code 1 which is also what it is
encoded as in DS digests, but we really should make sure to use two
distinct enumerations.
When we verified a signature, fix up the RR's TTL to the original TTL
mentioned in the signature, and store the signature expiry information
in the RR, too. Then, use that when adding RRs to the cache.
This removes dnssec_algorithm_supported() and simply uses the
algorithm_to_gcrypt() result as indication whether a DNSSEC algorithm is
supported.
The patch also renames "algorithm" to "md_algorithm", in a few cases, in
order to avoid confusion between DNSSEC signature algorithms and gcrypt
message digest algorithms.
This adds a mode that makes resolved automatically downgrade from DNSSEC
support to classic non-DNSSEC resolving if the configured DNS server is
not capable of DNSSEC. Enabling this mode increases compatibility with
crappy network equipment, but of course opens up the system to
downgrading attacks.
The new mode can be enabled by setting DNSSEC=downgrade-ok in
resolved.conf. DNSSEC=yes otoh remains a "strict" mode, where DNS
resolving rather fails then allow downgrading.
Downgrading is done:
- when the server does not support EDNS0+DO
- or when the server supports it but does not augment returned RRs with
RRSIGs. The latter is detected when requesting DS or SOA RRs for the
root domain (which is necessary to do proofs for unsigned data)
Be stricter when searching suitable NSEC3 RRs for proof: generalize the
check we use to find suitable NSEC3 RRs, in nsec3_is_good(), and add
additional checks, such as checking whether all NSEC3 RRs use the same
parameters, have the same suffix and so on.
When doing an NSEC3 proof, before detrmining whether a name is the
closest encloser we first need to figure out the longest common suffix
we have with any NSEC3 RR in the reply.
Note that this is still not complete, one additional step is still
missing: when we verified that a wildcard RRset is properly signed, we
still need to do an NSEC/NSEC3 proof that no more specific RRset exists.
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.
