EDIT: solved by emerging net-dns/bind-9.14.7.

My bind servers hosted inside Hetzner.de have been crashing since their update to version 9.14.4. The crash can be reliable triggered by a particular query:

Code:
dig @localhost 114.141.6.213.in-addr.arpa PTR


The named.log has this to say about the issue:

Code:

213.6.141.114 is some spammer trying to send a mail using my system, hence the reverse lookup.

213.133.98.98, 213.133.99.99 and 213.133.100.100 are the forwarders from the service provider (Hetzner.de).

When I try using other forwarders, like 8.8.8.8, the problem disappears. It seems like the Hetzner.de DNS servers are sending some malformed packets. Still, the bind/named should not crash on a malformed packet.

If I try to reverse lookup other IPs, it works fine.

I managed to tcpdump the queries and responses (tcpdump port 53 -w file.pcap), but I don't see anything wrong there. The .pcap file is here.

Anyone else having these issues?

What can I do, except switching to other DNS forwarders?

What if you tried a simpler format like
Code:

dig @localhost -x 114.141.6.213

Or maybe dig directly the forwarders ans see what happens...
This is the output I get:
Code:

I don't think this is a valid query

or to see what domain it belongs to whois -h whois.arin.net 213.6.141.114

Thank you for your answer.

That was the last query seen in bind query.log before it crashes.

That indeed generates the same query and crashes my named daemon.

I do know who this IP is assigned to. It is some service provider in Palestine. This IP is not the problem. The problem is the crashing bind named on my server. It should not crash on any bogus input... Am I in a wrong place? Should this be submitted to the bugtracker?

That is the resolver of my provider. I'm not sure what to do with it. This query resolves normally.

The IP address in this query is backwards. When I do dig @localhost -x 213.6.141.114, it generates the query mentioned in my first post and crashes my named.

I did try that. It generates the same answers as seen in the original pcap file and it does not crash my named, because my named is not involved when I query the forwarders directly.

It's not a bug (at least it's not a bind bug), the query works perfectly fine on my system (bind 9.14.4).

Is this a virtual machine? If so do you compile your own bind or are you using the hosts?
If you compile it yourself, I'd probably rebuild it (bind and tools), there's a problem but it's your system not bind, at least as far as this "query" or you've got a misconfigured named.conf.

I'm not sure why you're using @localhost directly. No matter where you get the answer from, it goes in the named cache, and if localhost is the first nameserver in resolv.conf it'll use that first.

Code:
$ dig -x 213.133.100.100

The SERVER is my machine.

from resolv.conf
Code:
nameserver 127.0.0.1


If the answer is not in my named cache then it will send it to where it needs to, to get an answer then it goes in the cache.

Edit to add: what does "emerge -pv bind bind-tools" return

It works for me too, when I change named.conf to use other forwarders (8.8.8.8 for example). But I do not want to change the forwarders and I certainly do not want my named to crash every so often. It is some combination of the query, one concrete forwarding server and current version of bind. It worked flawlessly with previous versions of bind, but sadly they are not in portage anymore.

Anon-E-moose wrote:

It is physical hardware. Bind has been emerged from portage. And it is not only a problem on one server, I have another client, who has his server in Hetzner.de too, and that instance of bind experiences the same problems.

I tried re-emerging it from portage and restarting the server to load all the new versions of all libraries, but the problem prevails. Named.conf remains unchanged from the previous version of bind, which worked fine.

...

I use @localhost to go around other resolvers listed in /etc/resolv.conf, to isolate the issue and to be able to quickly confirm that it still exists.
I can certainly use other forwarders, or remove 127.0.0.1 and ::1 from /etc/resolv.conf altogether, but as the Authoritative DNS server provider for numerous domains I do need to continue running named and I do not like the idea of it crashing randomly. I would like the issue to be solved, rather than circumvented.

That's not true, named is still involved, it just doesn't use the forwarders from named.conf or resolv.conf, it still uses the bind libraries, etc, along with the fact that the result of the query goes into the named cache. The query still gets resolved the same way, whether using @ directly or forwarders line in named.conf or nameserver in resolv.conf.

If it works directly then I suspect something in named.conf is likely your problem. It could be that previous versions of bind allowed certain things be done that it shouldn't have.

As far as previous versions, if you haven't cleaned your distfiles directory, then you should have the tar files, you just need the ebuild.

Edit to add: If you really think it's a bug, then file a bug report. It's possible that there's a bug in the way named.conf is being handled.

I'm sorry, I've been traveling and didn't have the means to try this.

This seems to loop endlessly and never get to the query that would trigger the server to crash. Is the recursion disabled with +trace?

dig: too many lookups


What does "BAD (HORIZONTAL) REFERRAL" mean? Is it mismatch in delegation of that particular domain?

My understanding is it's a lookup across the domain, not down.

if domain a0, b0, c0, a0 calls b0 and b0 is supposed to call c0, instead it calls b1 which is on the same level as b0.

You can google "bind BAD (HORIZONTAL) REFERRAL" for more info.

As for why it doesn't get to the query you're interested in, it's probably "dig: too many lookups"

Edit to add: googling your original problem, it has happened in the past (older versions of bind) so maybe they reintroduced a bug, I haven't checked with bind itself to see if they have reports for the version you're using. You might check and maybe even file a bug report.

have you ruled out CFLAGS and USE(flags) ?

I have 2 NS's without forward first and I see those kinds of records countless times during the day. Much-a-do about geo-location banning in my opinion, but the point is, bind shouldn't crap out because of it. a revdep-rebuild perhaps. sounds more like a pointer issue than anything else imho.

I can confirm this error - I have the very same problem on my server at Hetzner, since upgrading to bind 9.14.4. So I don't think it's a local issue.

I tried 9.14.5 and 9.14.6, but the problem remains unsolved.
I circumvented this issue by outright banning in iptables the few offending hosts, that tried to connect thus causing this "harmful" reverse lookup. Not really a solution.

There is this chap having the same problem: https://github.com/opnsense/plugins/issues/1497
He opened a bug report with ISC bind team two weeks ago, and the bug report went private:
Quote:
It was set to private because it's probably a DoS-able vulnerability and they already had 2 reports but without crash dump or debug symbols of this error when I reported it to them.

Hopefully it will be fixed soon.

I reported the bug to the bind team and got the response that it should be fixed within 1 month.
