Introduction
This document summarizes changes since the last production
release on the BIND 9.12 branch. Please see the
CHANGES for a further list of bug fixes
and other changes.
The latest versions of BIND 9 software can always be found at
http://www.isc.org/downloads/.
There you will find additional information about each release,
source code, and pre-compiled versions for Microsoft Windows
operating systems.
-
update-policy rules that otherwise ignore the name field now
require that it be set to "." to ensure that any type list
present is properly interpreted. Previously, if the name field
was omitted from the rule declaration but a type list was
present, it wouldn't be interpreted as expected.
-
When answering authoritative queries, named
does not return the target of a cross-zone CNAME between two
locally served zones; this prevents accidental cache poisoning.
This same restriction was incorrectly applied to recursive
queries as well; this has been fixed. [RT #47078]
-
named could crash when acting as a slave for a
catalog zone if zone contained a master definition without an IP
address. [RT #45999]
-
named could crash due to a race condition when
rolling dnstap log files. [RT #46942]
-
rndc reload could cause named
to leak memory if it was invoked before the zone loading actions
from a previous rndc reload command were
completed. [RT #47076]
BIND is open source software licenced under the terms of the Mozilla
Public License, version 2.0 (see the LICENSE
file for the full text).
The license requires that if you make changes to BIND and distribute
them outside your organization, those changes must be published under
the same license. It does not require that you publish or disclose
anything other than the changes you have made to our software. This
requirement does not affect anyone who is using BIND, with or without
modifications, without redistributing it, nor anyone redistributing
BIND without changes.
Those wishing to discuss license compliance may contact ISC at
https://www.isc.org/mission/contact/.
The end-of-life date for BIND 9.12 has not yet been determined.
However, it is not intended to be an Extended Support Version (ESV)
branch; accordingly, support will end after the next stable
branch (9.14) becomes available. Those needing a longer-lived
branch are encouraged to use the current ESV, BIND 9.11, which
will be supported until December 2021. See
https://www.isc.org/downloads/software-support-policy/
for details of ISC's software support policy.
