<a name="root_key"></a>New DNSSEC Root Key</h3></div></div></div>
<p>
ICANN is in the process of introducing a new Key Signing Key (KSK) for
the global root zone. BIND has multiple methods for managing DNSSEC
trust anchors, with somewhat different behaviors. If the root
key is configured using the <span class="command"><strong>managed-keys</strong></span>
statement, or if the pre-configured root key is enabled by using
<span class="command"><strong>dnssec-validation auto</strong></span>, then BIND can keep keys up
to date automatically. Servers configured in this way should have
begun the process of rolling to the new key when it was published in
the root zone in July 2017. However, keys configured using the
<span class="command"><strong>trusted-keys</strong></span> statement are not automatically
maintained. If your server is performing DNSSEC validation and is
configured using <span class="command"><strong>trusted-keys</strong></span>, you are advised to
change your configuration before the root zone begins signing with
the new KSK. This is currently scheduled for October 11, 2017.
</p>
<p>
This release includes an updated version of the
<code class="filename">bind.keys</code> file containing the new root
key. This file can also be downloaded from
<a class="link" href="https://www.isc.org/bind-keys" target="_top">

Addresses could be referenced after being freed during resolver
processing, causing an assertion failure. The chances of this
happening were remote, but the introduction of a delay in
resolution increased them. (The delay will be addressed in
an upcoming maintenance release.) This bug is disclosed in
CVE-2017-3145. [RT #46839]

An error in TSIG handling could permit unauthorized zone
transfers or zone updates. These flaws are disclosed in
CVE-2017-3142 and CVE-2017-3143. [RT #45383]

The BIND installer on Windows used an unquoted service path,
which can enable privilege escalation. This flaw is disclosed
in CVE-2017-3141. [RT #45229]

With certain RPZ configurations, a response with TTL 0
could cause <span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span> to go into an infinite
query loop. This flaw is disclosed in CVE-2017-3140.

<span class="command"><strong>dig +ednsopt</strong></span> now accepts the names
for EDNS options in addition to numeric values. For example,
an EDNS Client-Subnet option could be sent using
<span class="command"><strong>dig +ednsopt=ecs:...</strong></span>. Thanks to
John Worley of Secure64 for the contribution. [RT #44461]

Threads in <span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span> are now set to human-readable
names to assist debugging on operating systems that support that.
Threads will have names such as "isc-timer", "isc-sockmgr",
"isc-worker0001", and so on. This will affect the reporting of
subsidiary thread names in <span class="command"><strong>ps</strong></span> and
<span class="command"><strong>top</strong></span>, but not the main thread. [RT #43234]

Fixed a bug that was introduced in an earlier development
release which caused multi-packet AXFR and IXFR messages to fail
validation if not all packets contained TSIG records; this
caused interoperability problems with some other DNS
implementations. [RT #45509]
