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.

Fixed In Version: bind-9.9.4-65.el7
Doc Type: Release Note
Doc Text:
DNSSEC validation can be disabled for selected domains Previously, if DNSSEC validation was enabled and a specific domain was failing, no hosts in that domain could be reached. With this release, you can configure exemptions from DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) validation for selected zones if the validation fails because of incorrect configuration, not an attack. The addresses of the hosts in the failing domain are resolved as unsigned and can be reached, while all other names are validated for security risks.

Description Yogita 2017-05-18 10:40:34 UTC
Description of problem:
RFE -  bind package to include features of ISC BIND (BIND 9.11)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
bind-9.9.4-38.el7_3.3.x86_64

Business justification on this in Customer's words -
~~~
The business justification is mainly security/compliance related. As stated in Case 01183581, our security regulations require us to enable DNSSEC validation in our DNS resolvers.
However, the BIND versions in RedHat can only enable DNSSEC validation on a global level (for all queries - without exceptions). Unfortunately, some of our customer's internal domains will fail dnssec validation, because they use dns names that are not registered officially. Since we need access to these domains, we currently can not enable DNSSEC validation on our resolvers :(

The current bind911 version has more fine grained DNSSEC validation features, called "negative trust anchors" (see IETF RFC 7646). This would enable us to use finally enable DNSSEC for all queries, while we can still disable DNSSEC validation for specific domains known to be failing validation due to administrative error rather than because of a spoofing attack.

The new bind version would help us comply with our (and our customer's) compliance regulations and significantly raise the security level of the whole corporate network.

Comment 3 Petr Menšík 2017-05-19 14:58:40 UTC
Note that there is one problem with nta feature, similar to NZF. It cannot change directory used to store files containing nta exception. However default directory is /var/named, which is by default read only and protected by selinux policy to write. Even if I backport NTA from upstream, this is not solved in upstream.

Comment 9 Petr Menšík 2017-11-09 15:02:59 UTC
Created attachment 1349991 [details]
NTA backport to BIND 9.9 patch

This version does not solve missing rights to write file into home directory. May fail to provide full list of NTA domains via rndc nta -dump. Workaround is to use rndc secroots, where all entries would be always listed into dumped file. Upstream relies on dynamic isc_buffer_t, which is not yet implemented in 9.9 and backport of it seems too invasive to me.
