RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Could you provide a reproducer?

#!/usr/bin/python

from dns.resolver import Resolver

r = Resolver()
r.nameservers = [ '127.0.0.1', ]
r.timeout = 2
r.lifetime = 2
answers = r.query( 'redhat.com', 'SOA', source_port = 53 )

This script should be started on host with port 53/udp assigned e.g. on host with named started.

Results on host with patch:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./query-bug.py", line 9, in <module>
    answers = r.query( 'redhat.com', 'SOA', source_port = 53 )
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/dns/resolver.py", line 857, in query
    timeout = self._compute_timeout(start)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/dns/resolver.py", line 769, in _compute_timeout
    raise Timeout(timeout=duration)
dns.exception.Timeout: The DNS operation timed out after 2.00053596497 seconds

Results with not patched version of python-dns:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./query-bug.py", line 9, in <module>
    answers = r.query( 'redhat.com', 'SOA', source_port = 53 )
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/dns/resolver.py", line 869, in query
    source_port=source_port)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/dns/query.py", line 227, in udp
    response_time = time.time() - begin_time
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'begin_time' referenced before assignment

Correct result for this case is dns.exception.Timeout incorrect results is UnboundLocalError
