Full release notes:
Knot Resolver 4.1.0 (2019-07-10)
================================
Security
- --------
- - fix CVE-2019-10190: do not pass bogus negative answer to client (!827)
- - fix CVE-2019-10191: do not cache negative answer with forged
QNAME+QTYPE (!839)
Improvements
- ------------
- - new cache garbage collector is available and enabled by default (#257)
This improves cache efficiency on big installations.
- - DNS-over-HTTPS: unknown HTTP parameters are ignored to improve
compatibility with non-standard clients (!832)
- - DNS-over-HTTPS: answers include `access-control-allow-origin: *`
which allows JavaScript to use DoH endpoint (!823).
- - http module: support named AF_UNIX stream sockets (again)
- - aggressive caching is disabled on minimal NSEC* ranges (!826)
This improves cache effectivity with DNSSEC black lies and also
accidentally works around bug in proofs-of-nonexistence from F5 BIG-IP
load-balancers.
- - aarch64 support, even kernels with ARM64_VA_BITS >= 48 (#216, !797)
This is done by working around a LuaJIT incompatibility.
Please report bugs.
- - lua tables for C modules are more strict by default, e.g. `nsid.foo`
will throw an error instead of returning `nil` (!797)
- - systemd: basic watchdog is now available and enabled by default (#275)
Bugfixes
- --------
- - TCP to upstream: fix unlikely case of sending out wrong message length
(!816)
- - http module: fix problems around maintenance of ephemeral certs (!819)
- - http module: also send intermediate TLS certificate to clients,
if available and luaossl >= 20181207 (!819)
- - send EDNS with SERVFAILs, e.g. on validation failures (#180, !827)
- - prefill module: avoid crash on empty zone file (#474, !840)
- - rebinding module: avoid excessive iteration on blocked attempts (!842)
- - rebinding module: fix crash caused by race condition (!842)
- - rebinding module: log each blocked query only in verbose mode (!842)
- - cache: automatically clear stale reader locks (!844)
Module API changes
- ------------------
- - lua modules may omit casting parameters of layer functions (!797)
