RHBA-2015:0424 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated bind-dyndb-ldap packages that fix several bugs and add various
enhancements are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Description

The dynamic LDAP back end is a plug-in for BIND that provides back-end
capabilities for LDAP databases. It features support for dynamic updates and
internal caching that helps to reduce the load on LDAP servers.

The bind-dyndb-ldap packages have been upgraded to upstream version 6.0, which
provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version. The
most notable enhancements are as follows:

• The read query performance has been improved to be nearly the same as with

plain BIND, and queries for non-existing records do not impose additional load
on an LDAP server.

• Support for Wildcard records according to RFC 4592 has been added.
• Support for Incremental Zone Transfers (IXFR) according to RFC 1995 has been

added.

• The DNS root zone (".") can now be stored in LDAP.
• DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) in-line signing is now supported for master

zones; any master zone in
LDAP can be signed with keys provided by the user.
(BZ#1109759)

The behavioral changes and upgrade procedure are described in the following
Knowledge Article:
https://access.redhat.com/articles/1293133

This update also fixes the following bugs:

• Kerberos ticket expiration is now handled correctly. (BZ#1109759)
• Previously, the bind-dyndb-ldap plug-in did not fully support the DNS64

technology. As a consequence, the BIND daemon configured with DNS64 terminated
unexpectedly when a DNS64 query was processed by bind-dyndb-ldap. The bug has
been fixed and the BIND daemon no longer crashes in this scenario. (BZ#1078295)

Users of bind-dyndb-ldap are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
fix these bugs and add these enhancements.
