New maintenance releases in the 9.9, 9.10, 9.11, and 9.12 branches of BIND are now available. Release notes can be found with the releases or in the ISC Knowledge Base: 9.9.12: https://kb.isc.org/article/AA-01596/0/9.9.12-Notes.html 9.10.7: https://kb.isc.org/article/AA-01595/0/9.10.7-Notes.html 9.11.3: https://kb.isc.org/article/AA-01597/0/9.11.3-Notes.html 9.12.1: https://kb.isc.org/article/AA-01598/0/9.12.1-Notes.html Users who are migrating an existing BIND configuration to these new versions should take special note of two changes in the behavior of the "update-policy" statement which slightly change the behavior of two update-policy options. The first such change is discussed in greater length in the BIND Operational Notification issued today: https://kb.isc.org/article/AA-01599/update-policy-local-was-named-misleadingly The second change to update-policy behavior concerns this change: "update-policy rules that otherwise ignore the name field now require that it be set to "." to ensure that any type list present is properly interpreted. Previously, if the name field was omitted from the rule declaration but a type list was present, it wouldn't be interpreted as expected." which is a correction to an ambiguous case that was previously allowed, but which was capable of causing unexpected results when accidentally applied. The new requirement eliminates is intended to eliminate the confusion, which previously caused some operators to misapply security policies. However, due to the new requirement, named configuration files that relied on the previous behavior will no longer be accepted. These changes should not affect most operators, even those using "update-policy" to define Dynamic DNS permissions, but we would like to draw your attention to them so that operators are informed about the new behaviors. |
