PowerDNS DNSdist 1.7.4 Released

Written by Erik Winkels | Apr 14, 2023 10:24:00 AM

Hello!

We are very happy to release DNSdist 1.7.4 today, a maintenance release fixing a few bugs reported since 1.7.3:

  • Single-SOA XFR responses were not properly handled
  • Incoming DNS flags were not properly recorded in the ring buffer on a timeout
  • In SetEDNSOptionAction the extended rcode, EDNS version and DO bit could be misread
  • Also reconnect UDP sockets on ENETUNREACH (Asgeir Storesund Nilsen)
  • The TCP d_queued counter could overflow in some cases
  • The number of concurrent queries to a TCP back-end could be off by one
  • Health-check timeout computation for DoH back-end was sometimes incorrect
  • RCodeAction hits did not properly update rcode-related metrics
  • Cosmetic issue in ‘showServers’
  • JSON strings containing binary data were not always properly encoded by the webserver
  • Ignore unclean TLS session shutdown with OpenSSL 3
  • Invalid OCSP files should not prevent DNSdist from starting
  • Sander Hoentjen fixed a few build issues

Christof Chen also added a new ‘getPoolNames’ function, returning a list of pool names.
