Notes for BIND 9.19.14
Security Fixes

-    The overmem cleaning process has been improved, to prevent the cache from significantly exceeding the configured max-cache-size limit. (CVE-2023-2828)

    ISC would like to thank Shoham Danino from Reichman University, Anat Bremler-Barr from Tel-Aviv University, Yehuda Afek from Tel-Aviv University, and Yuval Shavitt from Tel-Aviv University for bringing this vulnerability to our attention. [GL #4055]

New Features

-    The read timeout in rndc can now be specified on the command line using the -t option, allowing commands that take a long time to complete sufficient time to do so. [GL #4046]

-    Support for multi-signer model 2 (RFC 8901) when using inline-signing was added. [GL #2710]

-    A new option to dnssec-policy has been added, cdnskey, that allows users to enable or disable the publication of CDNSKEY records. [GL #4050]

-    The system test suite can now be executed with pytest (along with pytest-xdist for parallel execution). [GL #3978]

Removed Features

-    Special-case code that was originally added to allow GSS-TSIG to work around bugs in the Windows 2000 version of Active Directory has now been removed, since Windows 2000 is long past end-of-life. The -o option and the oldgsstsig command to nsupdate have been deprecated, and are now treated as synonyms for -g and gsstsig respectively. [GL #4012]

Feature Changes

-    If a response from an authoritative server has its RCODE set to FORMERR and contains an echoed EDNS COOKIE option that was present in the query, named now retries sending the query to the same server without an EDNS COOKIE option. [GL #4049]

-    The responsiveness of named was improved, when serving as an authoritative DNS server for a delegation-heavy zone(s) shortly after loading such zone(s). [GL #4045]

Bug Fixes

-    When the stale-answer-enable option was enabled and the stale-answer-client-timeout option was enabled and larger than 0, named previously allocated two slots from the clients-per-query limit for each client and failed to gradually auto-tune its value, as configured. This has been fixed. [GL #4074]

-    Previously, it was possible for a delegation from cache to be returned to the client after the stale-answer-client-timeout duration. This has been fixed. [GL #3950]

-    BIND could allocate too big buffers when sending data via stream-based DNS transports, leading to increased memory usage. This has been fixed. [GL #4038]

Strange, there were failures at unit tests both in f37 and f38, but f39 passed fine.

There seems to be some issue with unit test shutdown.
