OpenDNSSEC 2.1.13

Version 2.1.13 of OpenDNSSEC has been released on 2023-06-26.

News

This release fixes a bug that affects both signer and enforcer command
line handling. Under heavy usage of the command line there was a small
change for a crash.
Furthermore there is a small behavioural change for users of the “keep”
policy. The back-off for retrying a sign task change is now equal to
the resign period in case the input file isn’t available or updated.
This because users nearly always will emit an external sign command for
this period. This will reduce logging errors.

Version 2.1.11 of OpenDNSSEC has been released on 2022-10-17.

RPM for RHEL/CentOS, deb and tgz packages will be provided for at the same download location.

Issues

  • Fixed improper re-use of already used keys when using as a consequence of previous bug in 2.1.6;
  • Improved reporting upon aborts of daemon process;
  • Fix for migration to salt of length 0;

OpenDNSSEC 2.1.10

Version 2.1.10 of OpenDNSSEC has been released on 2021-09-10.

News

This release addresses an automatic re-salting after a migration from 1.4
and an error manifesting as a key_data_update failure in the logs where
a retired key wasn’t removed from the signer configuration in time in
certain circumstances.
Also an RPM is now provided for RHEL/CentOS distros at the same download
location.

Issues

  • OPENDNSSEC-955: Prevent concurrency between certain valid PKCS#11 HSM operations to avoid some keys to be (transiently) unavailable.
  • OPENDNSSEC-956: Harden signing procedure to still sign zones for which there are unused keys specified in the zone which are unavailable.
  • OPENDNSSEC-957: Fix exit code signer daemon to not always report failure.
  • OPENDNSSEC-958: Fix immediate resalting after migration from 1.4.
  • OPENDNSSEC-959: Emit warning on ods-kaspcheck for NSEC iteration count that is deemed too high.
  • SUPPORT-265: Resolve conflict when deleting keys from HSM whilst also performing step in key roll process. Typically a message “key_data_update failed” is present in logs.
  • Provided RedHat/CentOS spec file in contrib directory.

OpenDNSSEC 2.1.9

Version 2.1.9 of OpenDNSSEC has been released on 2021-05-03.

News

This release contains two changes that avoid some problems with certain HSM configuration, one of them is SoftHSMv2 in database back-end mode.
This can lead to temporarily not being able to sign zones, hence upgrading is really recommended.
It does not occur on all systems and configurations though.

Issues

  • OPENDNSSEC-955: Prevent concurrency between certain valid PKCS#11 HSM operations to avoid some keys to be (transiently) unavailable.
  • OPENDNSSEC-956: Harden signing procedure to still sign zones for which there are unused keys specified in the zone which are unavailable.

OpenDNSSEC 2.1.8

Version 2.1.8 of OpenDNSSEC has been released on 2020-02-20.

News

This release of 2.1.8 fixes a number of bugs related to the purging of keys, a potential denial of service vulnerability in some installations, and a few rarer but nasty potential crashes. Earlier versions of OpenDNSSEC 2.1 might not have all keys purged from the HSM if instructed to do so. Since this is now done automatically this is worth pointing out that this was a bug and old keys will be permanently removed from the HSM.

Either when manually purging keys, or having
specified a in your key policy (kasp.xml), the keys are supposed
to be removed from the HSM. However, for some time, the keys were marked
for deletion, and became invisible, but the removal from the HSM was
skipped. In this release candidate this is fixed, but still allowing
keys not to be removed entirely. When you specify an automatic purge
then the keys will, after the specified period, will be completely
removed. When you purge manually, keys are not removed from the HSM
unless you specify an additional flag (the –delete or -d flag).

Special thanks to the people that help us in making OpenDNSSEC better
and better, mentioned in the NEWS file as always. Two of the bugs
were only traceable using this help.

The 2.1.8 release is available immediately from the download site.

Issues

  • OPENDNSSEC-954: Upgrade autoconf/automake configuration chain for version 2.69/1.16.2.
  • SUPPORT-261: Fix to crash when using ods-enforcer set-policy command.
  • OPENDNSSEC-953: Fix to crash in case zone file not present while getting a signconf update and state flush command.

    Thanks to Stefan Ubbink from SIDN for the co-operation in this fix.
  • OPENDNSSEC-951: Modify the purging of keys, to make it automatic to purge keys from the HSM.

    Thanks to Stefan Ubbink from SIDN for the co-operation in this fix.
  • OPENDNSSEC-950: Fix that caused crash when signer was offline for a prolonged period (but the enforcer wasn’t) in the middle of a ZSK roll.
  • OPENDNSSEC-952: memory leak in when receiving NOTIFY for non-existent zone (Thanks Sébastien Tisserant to for reporting).

OpenDNSSEC 2.1.7

Version 2.1.7 of OpenDNSSEC has been released on 2020-10-05.

News

This release of 2.1.7 fixes a bug in the migration script to migrate from 1.4 to 2.1. Additionally a bug in creating unnecessary signatures during a ZSK roll was fixed. We also had some contributions regarding edward curves and exporting keys by CKA identifier and other corrections and improvements, see the full list below.

The 2.1.7 release is available immediately from the download site.

Issues

  • OPENDNSSEC-949: Fix for migration bug not keeping proper parameters of NSEC3 signed zones. Amongst others the zone become NSEC. Loading the policies
    fixes the situation, migration scripts now corrected. Since 1.4 does not require a salt, a resalt might be automatic after migrating, as this is
    a required parameter.
  • OPENDNSSEC-948: do not recreate signatures for keys that are moving out this fixes unexpected double signatures in the zone.
  • SUPPORT-253: Incorrect keytag used when using Combined Signing keys (CSK) (Thanks to Simon Arlott)
  • SUPPORT-257: Export keys by locator (Thansk to Simon Arlott)
  • SUPPORT-222: Support ED25519/ED448 keys. This requires library ldns 1.7.0 or better, otherwise unavailable. (Thanks again to Simon Arlott)
  • Load libsqlite3.so.0 and fall back on libsqlite3.so.0 to allow to run migration tool on systems without libsqlite3.so.0 soft link. (Thanks to Paul Wouters)
  • Some compilation warnings, o.a. gcc10 related, code quality and initialization improvements. (Thanks to Jonas Berlin, and Mathieu MirMont, and Paul Wouters)

OpenDNSSEC 2.1.6

Version 2.1.6 of OpenDNSSEC has been released on 2020-02-10.

News

This release of 2.1.6 fixes some issues regarding the key list wrongfully displayed (a regression bug in 2.1.5) as well as a small leak in the enforcer (which can add up when you bang the enforcer with a lot of commands). And as well as a serious signing error when using Combined Signing Keys (CSKs), this is only relevant if you combine KSK and ZSK in one. Especially users of CSKs need this fix now. Another nice fix is a reconnect to a MySQL/MariaDB database you you don’t have to tweak database parameters

The 2.1.6 release is available immediately from the download site.

Fixes

  • OPENDNSSEC-913: verify database connection upon every use.
  • OPENDNSSEC-944: bad display of date of next transition (regression)
  • SUPPORT-250: missing signatures on using combined keys (CSK)
  • OPENDNSSEC-945: memory leak per command to enforcer.
  • OPENDNSSEC-946: unclean enforcer exit in case of certain config problems.
  • OPENDNSSEC-411: set-policy command to change policy of zone (experimental). Requires explicit enforce command to take effect.
