Unbound 1.19.0

Unbound 1.19.0

This release fixes a number of bugs, and adds some smaller features.
The redis-logical-db option and cachedb-no-store option can be used
for cachedb configuration. The disable-edns-do option can be used for
working around broken network parts. For DNS64 there is fallback to
plain AAAA when no A record exists.

There is a bug fix that when the UDP interface keeps returning that
sending is not possible, unbound does not loop endlessly and waits
for the condition to go away.

Resource records of type A and AAAA that are an inappropriate length
are removed from responses. This hardens against bad content.

Features

• Fix #850: [FR] Ability to use specific database in Redis, with new
  redis-logical-db configuration option.
• Merge #944: Disable EDNS DO.
  Disable the EDNS DO flag in upstream requests. This can be helpful
  for devices that cannot handle DNSSEC information. But it should not
  be enabled otherwise, because that would stop DNSSEC validation. The
  DNSSEC validation would not work for Unbound itself, and also not
  for downstream users. Default is no. The option
  is disable-edns-do: no
• Expose the script filename in the Python module environment 'mod_env'
  instead of the config_file structure which includes the linked list
  of scripts in a multi Python module setup; fixes #79.
• Expose the configured listening and outgoing interfaces, if any, as
  a list of strings in the Python 'config_file' class instead of the
  current Swig object proxy; fixes #79.
• Mailing list patches from Daniel Gröber for DNS64 fallback to plain
  AAAA when no A record exists for synthesis, and minor DNS64 code
  refactoring for better readability.
• Merge #951: Cachedb no store. The cachedb-no-store: yes option is
  used to stop cachedb from writing messages to the backend storage.
  It reads messages when data is available from the backend. The
  default is no.

Bug Fixes

• Fix for version generation race condition that ignored changes.
• Fix #942: 1.18.0 libunbound DNS regression when built without
  OpenSSL.
• Fix for WKS call to getservbyname that creates allocation on exit
  in unit test by testing numbers first and testing from the services
  list later.
• Fix autoconf 2.69 warnings in configure.
• Fix #927: unbound 1.18.0 make test error. Fix make test without SHA1.
• Merge #931: Prevent warnings from -Wmissing-prototypes.
• Fix to scrub resource records of type A and AAAA that have an
  inappropriate size. They are removed from responses.
• Fix to move msgparse_rrset_remove_rr code to util/msgparse.c.
• Fix to add EDE text when RRs have been removed due to length.
• Fix to set ede match in unit test for rr length removal.
• Fix to print EDE text in readable form in output logs.
• Fix send of udp retries when ENOBUFS is returned. It stops looping
  and also waits for the condition to go away. Reported by Florian
  Obser.
• Fix authority zone answers for obscured DNAMEs and delegations.
• Merge #936: Check for c99 with autoconf versions prior to 2.70.
• Fix to remove two c99 notations.
• Fix rpz tcp-only action with rpz triggers nsdname and nsip.
• Fix misplaced comment.
• Merge #881: Generalise the proxy protocol code.
• Fix #946: Forwarder returns servfail on upstream response noerror no
  data.
• Fix edns subnet so that queries with a source prefix of zero cause
  the recursor send no edns subnet option to the upstream.
• Fix that printout of EDNS options shows the EDNS cookie option by
  name.
• Fix infinite loop when reading multiple lines of input on a broken
  remote control socket. Addesses #947 and #948.
• Fix #949: "could not create control compt".
• Fix that cachedb does not warn when serve-expired is disabled about
  use of serve-expired-reply-ttl and serve-expired-client-timeout.
• Fix for #949: Fix pythonmod/ubmodule-tst.py for Python 3.x.
• Better fix for infinite loop when reading multiple lines of input on
  a broken remote control socket, by treating a zero byte line the
  same as transmission end. Addesses #947 and #948.
• For multi Python module setups, clean previously parsed module
  functions in main's dictionary, if any, so that only current
  module functions are registered.
• Fix #954: Inconsistent RPZ handling for A record returned along with
  CNAME.
• Fixes for the DNS64 patches.
• Update the dns64_lookup.rpl test for the DNS64 fallback patch.

• Update testdata/ipset.tdir test for ipset fix.
• Fix to print detailed errors when an SSL IO routine fails via
  SSL_get_error.
• Clearer configure text for missing protobuf-c development libraries.
• autoconf.
• Merge #930 from Stuart Henderson: add void to
  log_ident_revert_to_default declaration.
• Fix #941: dnscrypt doesn't work after upgrade to 1.18 with
  suggestion by dukeartem to also fix the udp_ancil with dnscrypt.
• Fix SSL compile failure for definition in log_crypto_err_io_code_arg.
• Fix SSL compile failure for other missing definitions in
  log_crypto_err_io_code_arg.
• Fix compilation without openssl, remove unused function warning.
• Mention flex and bison in README.md when building from repository
  source.
