Motivation:
It is possible that the user uses a too big EDNS0 setting for the MTU and so we may receive a truncated datagram packet. In this case we should try to detect this and retry via TCP if possible
Modifications:
- Fix detecting of incomplete records
- Mark response as truncated if we did not consume the whole packet
- Add unit test
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/9365
Motivation:
When decoding DnsRecord, if the record contains compression pointers, and not all compression pointers are decompressed, but part of the pointers are decompressed. Then when encoding the record, the compressed pointer will point to the wrong location, resulting in bad label problem.
Modification:
Pre-decompressed record RData that may contain compression pointers.
Result:
Fixes#8962
Motivation:
8cf90f0512 switch a duplicate opreration to a slice operation. Typically this would be fine but DNS supports a compression (https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1035 4.1.4. Message compression) where the payload contains absolute indexes which refer back to previously referenced content. Using a slice will break the ability for the indexes in the payload to correctly self reference to the index of the originial payload, and thus decoding may fail.
Modifications:
- Use duplicate instead of slice so DNS message compression and index references are preserved.
Result:
Fixes DefaultDnsRecordDecoder regression
Motivation:
We need to not change the original writerIndex when decode a DnsPtrRecord as otherwise we will not be able to decode other records that follow it.
Modifications:
Slice the data out and so not increase the writerIndex.
Result:
No more problems when decoding.
Motivation:
- The decoded name should always end with a dot (.), but we currently
strip it, which is incorrect.
- (O) 0 -> "."
- (X) 0 -> ""
- (O) 5 netty 2 io 0 -> "netty.io."
- (X) 5 netty 2 io 0 -> "netty.io"
- The encoded name should end with a null-label, which is a label whose
length is 0, but we currently append an extra NUL, causing FORMERR(1)
on a strict DNS server:
- (O) . -> 0
- (X) . -> 0 0
- (O) netty.io. -> 5 netty 2 io 0
- (X) netty.io. -> 5 netty 2 io 0 0
Modifications:
- Make sure to append '.' when decoding a name.
- Improve index checks so that the decoder can raise
CorruptFrameException instead of IIOBE
- Do not encode extra NUL
- Add more tests
Result:
Robustness and correctness
Motivation:
Zero-length names needs to be "prefixed" by the length as well when encoded into a ByteBuf. Also some servers not correctly prefix these so we should ensure we can workaround this and even decode in such case.
Modifications:
- Always encode the length of the name into the ByteBuf even if its zero-length.
- If there are no readable bytes for the name just asume its an empty name to workaround dns servers that not fully respect the RFC.
Result:
Correctly encode zero-length names and be able to decode empty names even when the rfc is not strictly followed.
