NEW XORG ON FREEBSD 9-STABLE AND 10-STABLE

This update switches over to use the new xorg stack by default on FreeBSD 9
and 10 stable, on osversions where vt(9) is available.
It is still possible to use the old stack by specifying WITHOUT_NEW_XORG in
/etc/make.conf .
FreeBSD 8-STABLE and released versions of FreeBSD still use
the old version.
A package repository with binary packages for new xorg will
be available soon.

This patch also contains updates of libxcb and related ports, pixman, as well
as some drivers and utilities.

Bump portrevisions for xf86-* ports, as well as virtualbox-ose-additions due
to xserver version change.

Apart from these updates, the way shared libraries are handled has been
changed for all xorg ports, as well as libxml2 and freetype, which means
ltverhack is gone and as a consequence shared libraries have been bumped.
The plan is that this change will make library bumps less likely in the
future.
All affected ports have had their portrevisions bumped as a consequence of
this.

Fix some issues where WITH_NEW_XORG weren't detected properly on CURRENT.

Update instructions, hardware support, and more notes can be found on
https://wiki.freebsd.org/Graphics

  - fix the bug reported by Roy Arends in which "slipped" NXDOMAIN
     responses had rcode values of 0 (NoError) instead of 3 (NXDOMAIN).

  - move reports of RRL drop and slip actions from the "queries"
     log category to the "query-errors" category. Because they are not
     in the "queres" category, enabling or disabling query logging no
     longer affects them.

Update RPZ+RRL patchset to the latest version.

The change makes "slip 1;" send only truncated (TC=1) responses.
Without the change, "slip 1;" is the same as the default of "slip 2;".
That default, which alternates truncated with dropped responses
when the rate limit is exceeded, is better for authoritative DNS
servers, because it further reduces the amplification of an attack
from about 1X to about 0.5X.

DNS RRL is not recommended for recursive servers.

Prevents a crash when validating caused by using "Bad cache" data

ISC_QUEUE handling for recursive clients was updated to address
a race condition that could cause a memory leak. This rarely

for a server handling a steady rate of TCP queries.

termination of the named process.

Upgrade to 9.6-ESV-R7-P1, 9.7.6-P1, 9.8.3-P1, and 9.9.1-P1, the latest
from ISC. These patched versions contain a critical bugfix:

  Processing of DNS resource records where the rdata field is zero length
  may cause various issues for the servers handling them.

  Processing of these records may lead to unexpected outcomes. Recursive
  servers may crash or disclose some portion of memory to the client.
  Secondary servers may crash on restart after transferring a zone
  containing these records. Master servers may corrupt zone data if the
  zone option "auto-dnssec" is set to "maintain". Other unexpected
  problems that are not listed here may also be encountered.

All BIND users are strongly encouraged to upgrade.

Bug Fix

*  The locking strategy around the handling of iterative queries

following DDOS bug:

Recursive name servers are failing with an assertion:

Because it may be possible to trigger this bug even on networks
that do not allow untrusted users to access the recursive name
servers (perhaps via specially crafted e-mail messages, and/or
malicious web sites) it is recommended that ALL operators of
recursive name servers upgrade immediately.

ALL BIND USERS ENCOURAGED TO UPGRADE IMMEDIATELY

This update addresses the following vulnerabilities:

CVE-2011-2464
=============
Severity:       High
Exploitable:    Remotely

Description:

A defect in the affected BIND 9 versions allows an attacker to remotely
cause the "named" process to exit using a specially crafted packet. This
defect affects both recursive and authoritative servers. The code location
of the defect makes it impossible to protect BIND using ACLs configured
within named.conf or by disabling any features at compile-time or run-time.

https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2011-2464
https://www.isc.org/software/bind/advisories/cve-2011-2464

CVE-2011-2465
=============
Severity:       High
Exploitable:    Remotely

Description:

A defect in the affected versions of BIND could cause the "named" process
to exit when queried, if the server has recursion enabled and was
configured with an RPZ zone containing certain types of records.
Specifically, these are any DNAME record and certain kinds of CNAME
records.

https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2011-2465
https://www.isc.org/software/bind/advisories/cve-2011-2465

Additional changes in this version:

* If named is configured to be both authoritative and resursive and
  receives a recursive query for a CNAME in a zone that it is
  authoritative for, if that CNAME also points to a zone the server
  is authoritative for, the recursive part of name will not follow
  the CNAME change and the response will not be a complete CNAME
  chain. [RT #24455]

  Thus the patch for this bug has been removed from the port

* Using Response Policy Zone (RPZ) to query a wildcard CNAME label
  with QUERY type SIG/RRSIG, it can cause named to crash. Fix is
  query type independant. [RT #24715] [CVE-2011-1907]

23:47 dougb 

Upgrade to 9.8.0-P2, which addresses the following issues:

1. Very large RRSIG RRsets included in a negative cache can trigger
an assertion failure that will crash named (BIND 9 DNS) due to an
off-by-one error in a buffer size check.

This bug affects all resolving name servers, whether DNSSEC validation
is enabled or not, on all BIND versions prior to today. There is a
possibility of malicious exploitation of this bug by remote users.

2. Named could fail to validate zones listed in a DLV that validated
insecure without using DLV and had DS records in the parent zone.

Add a patch provided by ru@ and confirmed by ISC to fix a crash at
shutdown time when a SIG(0) key is being used.

Add a patch from ISC that will be in 9.8.1 to handle intermittent
failure of recursive queries involving CNAMEs and previously cached
responses.

21:13 dougb 

Upgrade to version 9.8.0-P1:

Certain response policy zone configurations could trigger an INSIST
when receiving a query of type RRSIG.

https://www.isc.org/CVE-2011-1907

This vulnerability is only possible if you have enable the new RPZ feature.

00:27 dougb 

This is 9.8.0, the first release version in the 9.8 series.

New features versus previous release candidates include:

* There is a new option in dig, +onesoa, that allows the final SOA
  record in an AXFR response to be suppressed. [RT #20929
* There is additional information displayed in the recursing log
  (qtype, qclass, qid and whether we are following the original
  name). [RT #22043]
* Added option 'resolver-query-timeout' in named.conf (max query
  timeout in seconds) to set a different value than the default (30
  seconds). A value of 0 means 'use the compiled in default';
  anything longer than 30 will be silently set to 30. [RT #22852]
* For Mac OS X, you can now have the test interfaces used during
  "make test" stay beyond reboot. See bin/tests/system/README for
  details.

There are also numerous bug fixes and enhancements. See
http://ftp.isc.org/isc/bind9/9.8.0/RELEASE-NOTES-BIND-9.8.html
for more information.

Update to 9.8.0rc1, the latest from ISC:

 * The ADB hash table stores informations about which authoritative
   servers to query about particular domains. Previous versions of
   BIND had the hash table size as a fixed value. On a busy recursive
   server, this could lead to hash table collisions in the ADB cache,
   resulting in degraded response time to queries. Bind 9.8 now has a
   dynamically scalable ADB hash table, which helps a busy server to
   avoid hash table collisions and maintain a consistent query
   response time.

Update to 9.8.0b1, which in addition to DNS64 support also has
the following new features:

* BIND now supports a new zone type, static-stub. This allows the
administrator of a recursive nameserver to force queries for a
particular zone to go to IP addresses of the administrator's choosing,
on a per zone basis, both globally or per view.

* BIND now supports Response Policy Zones, a way of expressing
"reputation" in real time via specially constructed DNS zones. See the
draft specification here:
http://ftp.isc.org/isc/dnsrpz/isc-tn-2010-1.txt

* Dynamically Loadable Zones (DLZ) now support dynamic updates.
Contributed by Andrew Tridgell of the Samba Project.

* Added a "dlopen" DLZ driver, allowing the creation of external DLZ
drivers that can be loaded as shared objects at runtime rather than
having to be linked with named at compile time. Currently this is
switched on via a compile-time option, "configure --with-dlz-dlopen".
Note: the syntax for configuring DLZ zones is likely to be refined in
future releases. Contributed by Andrew Tridgell of the Samba Project.

* numerous GSS-TSIG improvements

* There is a new update-policy match type "external". This allows
named to decide whether to allow a dynamic update by checking with an
external daemon. Contributed by Andrew Tridgell of the Samba Project.

* many other improvements

Feature safe:   yes

We need _all_ the fixes from ../bind97

08:58 dougb 

We need the fixes from bind97 for the perl problem here, not bind96

22:48 dougb 

Add a -devel port for 9.8.0a1, which will allow people to experiment
with DNS64. Once 9.8.0 is released officially the -devel tag will be
removed.

BIND version 9 is a major rewrite of nearly all aspects of the underlying BIND
architecture.  Some of the important features of BIND 9 are:

DNS Security: DNSSEC (signed zones), TSIG (signed DNS requests)
IP version 6: Answers DNS queries on IPv6 sockets, IPv6 resource records (AAAA)
     Experimental IPv6 Resolver Library
DNS Protocol Enhancements: IXFR, DDNS, Notify, EDNS0
     Improved standards conformance
Views: One server process can provide multiple "views" of the DNS namespace,
     e.g. an "inside" view to certain clients, and an "outside" view to others.
Multiprocessor Support

BIND 9.8 includes a number of changes from BIND 9.7 and earlier releases,
including:
        Preliminary DNS64 support (AAAA synthesis only initially)

See the CHANGES file for more information on features.
