dnspython 2.6.1

See What's New for details.

This is a bug fix release for 2.6.0 where the "TuDoor" fix erroneously suppressed legitimate Truncated exceptions. This caused the stub resolver to timeout instead of failing over to TCP when a legitimate truncated response was received over UDP.

This release addresses the potential DoS issue discussed in the "TuDoor" paper (CVE-2023-29483). The dnspython stub resolver is vulnerable to a potential DoS if a bad-in-some-way response from the right address and port forged by an attacker arrives before a legitimate one on the UDP port dnspython is using for that query. In this situation, dnspython might switch to querying another resolver or give up entirely, possibly denying service for that resolution. This release addresses the issue by adopting the recommended mitigation, which is ignoring the bad packets and continuing to listen for a legitimate response until the timeout for the query has expired.

Thank you to all the contributors to this release, and, as usual, thanks to my co-maintainers: Tomáš Křížek, Petr Špaček, and Brian Wellington.

Sourced from dnspython's changelog.

2.6.1

• The Tudoor fix ate legitimate Truncated exceptions, preventing the resolver from failing over to TCP and causing the query to timeout #1053.

2.6.0

• As mentioned in the "TuDoor" paper and the associated CVE-2023-29483, the dnspython stub resolver is vulnerable to a potential DoS if a bad-in-some-way response from the right address and port forged by an attacker arrives before a legitimate one on the UDP port dnspython is using for that query.

  This release addresses the issue by adopting the recommended mitigation, which is ignoring the bad packets and continuing to listen for a legitimate response until the timeout for the query has expired.

• Added support for the NSID EDNS option.

• Dnspython now looks for version metadata for optional packages and will not use them if they are too old. This prevents possible exceptions when a feature like DoH is not desired in dnspython, but an old httpx is installed along with dnspython for some other purpose.

• The DoHNameserver class now allows GET to be used instead of the default POST, and also passes source and source_port correctly to the underlying query methods.

2.5.0

• Dnspython now uses hatchling for builds.

• Asynchronous destinationless sockets now work on Windows.

• Cython is no longer supported due to various typing issues.

• Dnspython now explicitly canonicalizes IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. Previously it was possible for non-canonical IPv6 forms to be stored in a AAAA address, which would work correctly but possibly cause problmes if the address were used as a key in a dictionary.

• The number of messages in a section can be retrieved with section_count().

• Truncation preferences for messages can be specified.

• The length of a message can be automatically prepended when rendering.
