By calculating the hash of a DNSKEY once for each digest algo,
we reduce the hashing work from (no. DS) x (no. DNSKEY) to
(no. DNSKEY) x (no. distinct digests)
The number of distinct digests can never be more than 255 and
it's limited by which hashes we implement, so currently only 4.
An attacker can create DNSSEC signed domains which need a lot of
work to verfify. We limit the number of crypto operations to
avoid DoS attacks by CPU exhaustion.
If there are no dynamic configuration directories configured with
dhcp-hostsdir, dhcp-optsdir and hostsdir then we need to use inotify
only to track changes to resolv-files, but we don't need to do
that when DNS is disabled (port=0) or no resolv-files are configured.
It turns out that inotify slots can be a scarce resource, so not
using one when it's not needed is a Goood Thing.
Patch by HL, description above from SRK.
In extract_addresses() the "secure" argument is only set if the
whole reply is validated (ie the AD bit can be set). Even without
that, some records may be validated, and should be marked
as such in the cache.
Related, the DNS doctor code has to update the flags for individual
RRs as it works, not the global "secure" flag.
Now we can cache arbirary RRs, give more correct answers when
replying negative answers from cache.
To implement this needed the DNS-doctor code to be untangled from
find_soa(), so it should be under suspicion for any regresssions
in that department.
Similar to local-service, but more strict. Listen only on localhost
unless other interface is specified. Has no effect when interface is
provided explicitly. I had multiple bugs fillen on Fedora, because I have
changed default configuration to:
interface=lo
bind-interfaces
People just adding configuration parts to /etc/dnsmasq.d or appending to
existing configuration often fail to see some defaults are already there.
Give them auto-ignored configuration as smart default.

Do not add a new parameter on command line. Instead add just parameter
for behaviour modification of existing local-service option. Now it
accepts two optional values:
- net: exactly the same as before
- host: bind only to lo interface, do not listen on any other addresses
than loopback.
By design, dnsmasq forwards queries for RR-types it has no data
on, even if it has data for the same domain and other RR-types.
This can lead to an inconsitent view of the DNS when an upstream
server returns NXDOMAIN for an RR-type and domain but the same domain
but a different RR-type gets an answer from dnsmasq. To avoid this,
dnsmasq converts NXDOMAIN answer from upstream to NODATA answers if
it would answer a query for the domain and a different RR-type.
An oversight missed out --synth-domain from the code to do this, so
--synth-domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24
would result in the correct answer to an A query for
192-168.0.1.thekelleys.org.uk and an AAAA query for the same domain
would be forwarded upstream and the resulting NXDOMAIN reply
returned.
After the fix, the reply gets converted to NODATA.
Thanks to Matt Wong for spotting the bug.
At startup, the leases file is read by lease_init(), and
in lease_init() undecorated hostnames are expanded into
FQDNs by adding the domain associated with the address
of the lease.
lease_init() happens relavtively early in the startup, party because
if it calls the dhcp-lease helper script, we don't want that to inherit
a load of sensitive file descriptors. This has implications if domains
are defined using the --domain=example.com,eth0 format since it's long
before we call enumerate_interfaces(), so get_domain fails for such domains.
The patch just moves the hostname expansion function to a seperate
subroutine that gets called later, after enumerate_interfaces().
Add the relevant information to the metrics and to the output of
dump_cache() (which is called when dnsmasq receives SIGUSR1).
Hence, users not collecting metrics will still be able to
troubleshoot with SIGUSR1. In addition to the current usage,
dump_cache() contains the information on the highest usage
since it was last called.
In bind-dynamic mode, its OK to fail to bind a socket to an address
given by --listen-address if no interface with that address exists
for the time being. Dnsmasq will attempt to create the socket again
when the host's network configuration changes.
The code used to ignore pretty much any error from bind(), which is
incorrect and can lead to confusing behaviour. This change make ONLY
a return of EADDRNOTAVAIL from bind() a non-error: anything else will be
fatal during startup phase, or logged after startup phase.
Thanks to Petr Menšík for the problem report and first-pass patch.
Bug report here:
https://lists.thekelleys.org.uk/pipermail/dnsmasq-discuss/2023q4/017332.html
This error probably has no practical effect since even if the hash
is wrong, it's only compared internally to other hashes computed using
the same code.
Understanding the error:
hash-questions.c:168:21: runtime error: left shift of 128 by 24 places
cannot be represented in type 'int'
requires a certain amount of c-lawyerliness. I think the problem is that
m[i] = data[j] << 24
promotes the unsigned char data array value to int before doing the shift and
then promotes the result to unsigned char to match the type of m[i].
What needs to happen is to cast the unsigned char to unsigned int
BEFORE the shift.
This patch does that with explicit casts.
