CAP_NET_ADMIN is needed in the DHCPv4 code to place entries into
the ARP cache. If it's configured to unconditionally broadcast
to unconfigured clients, it never touches the ARP cache and
doesn't need CAP_NET_ADMIN.
Thanks to Martin Ivičič <max.enhanced@gmail.com> for prompting this.
In generalising the RR filter code, the Dbus methods
controlling filtering A and AAAA records
got severely broken. This, and the previous commit,
fixes things.
Replies from upstream with a REFUSED rcode can result in
log messages stating that a resource limit has been exceeded,
which is not the case.
Thanks to Dominik Derigs and the Pi-hole project for
spotting this.
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.
