Hello List!
Today, we release Knot DNS 1.4.6 with two minor fixes.
First issue we've fixed would only occur when doing DNSSEC key
rollover using the key metadata (via the dnssec-settime tool, for
example) - there was a possibility that the server would try to sign the
zone continuously for a limited amount of time. DNSSEC data would stay
valid all the time though.
The other fix concerns mainly RRL users with recvmmsg enabled - when
using SLIP other than 1, responses that should have been dropped were
actually sent as empty UDP datagrams. Such responses would not be
helpful to the attacker, as they are actually smaller than the queries,
but they could confuse legitimate clients. This applies for the
responses to malformed query messages as well, even if the RRL is
disabled.
All in all, if you do not use the automatic DNSSEC or RRL, there's
probably no need to update. Hopefully, this is the last release before
the 1.5RC1 comes out, so stay tuned.
