Simon Kelley 65adc53130 Modify the inotify implementation so that inotify watches are
only created after dnsmasq has changed permissions and userid.
This means that the permissions used when creating the watches
are the same as used for accessing watched files, which makes
more sense and avoids odd and confusing error conditions.

Simon Kelley 32a54fc8a5 Remove duplicate configured trust anchors.
Well-known trust anchors can turn up in multiple config files.

Leaving the duplicates makes logging messy and costs some
CPU checking the same DS twice.

Simon Kelley 729c16a8ac Rationalise DNS TCP buffer use.
This fixes the plethora of 64k buffers that got allocated when doing
DNSSEC over TCP.

By using the UDP buffer is pass the query into tcp_talk() and
allowing tcp_talk to allocate its output buffer one the size
of the reply is known, we only need to allocate as much memory as
is required. The final reply to the TCP query still needs the 64k
buffer because answer_request() and answer_auth() are not capable
of extending their output buffers.

Simon Kelley c090f1d17b Terminate TCP child processes that arise from UDP truncated replies.
These can't be held forever by a client that opens a connection and
then sends nothing, but we can still be DoSsed by a server which
accepts a connection and never replies.

If the TCP process times out, it sends that information to the
parent so that the UDP query can be unblocked. As the TCP
timeout is 150s it's highly unlikely that any client will
still be waiting, but the point is to free resources.

Simon Kelley fa48bdb939 Tidy up code in in do_tcp_connection() which filters incoming connections.
A general rewrite and consolidation of the code that determines
if an incoming TCP connection is allowed, based on --address and --interface.

This was prompted by a bug found by Sławomir Zborowski where a TCP
connection for a valid IPv4 address on one interface which arrived
via a second interface which didn't have an IPv4 address would be
wrongly rejected.

Simon Kelley 7d5fbe7da3 Fix failure to add client MAC address to queries in TCP mode.
The options which cause dnsmasq to decorate a DNS query with the MAC
address on the originating client can fail when the query is sent
using TCP.

In TCP mode, dnsmasq spawns a new process to handle each TCP connection.
These child processes do not have an open netlink socket, which is
needed to read the kernel ARP table, so the process of adding the
client's MAC address as an EDNS0 option silently fails.

This is fixed by this patch by updating dnsmasq's ARP cache in the
main process just before forking the TCP-handler child process.
This ensures that the copy of the ARP cache inherited by the
TCP-handler contains the information required without the need to
read the kernel ARP table.

Thanks to Bruno Ravara for spotting and characterising this bug.

Simon Kelley 65e9a8957c Fix order of reads dhcp-hostsfile and /etc/ethers.
Reading /etc/ethers assumes that dhcp-host cofig has already
been read, and that is the case for dhcp-host, but for unknown
reasons, the analogous congiguration is dhcp-hostfile was being
read after /etc/ethers.

Swap the order.

Simon Kelley 57f0489f38 Redesign the interaction between DNSSEC vaildation and per-domain servers.
This should just work in all cases now. If the normal chain-of-trust exists into
the delegated domain then whether the domain is signed or not, DNSSEC
validation will function normally. In the case the delgated domain
is an "overlay" on top of the global DNS and no NS and/or DS records
exist connecting it to the global dns, then if the domain is
unsigned the situation will be handled by synthesising a
proof-of-non-existance-of-DS for the domain and queries will be
answered unvalidated; this action will be logged. A signed domain
without chain-of-trust can be validated if a suitable trust-anchor
is provided using --trust-anchor.

Thanks to Uwe Kleine-König for prompting this change, and contributing
valuable insights into what could be improved.

Print a specific INFO message instead of a generic WARNING message,

Starting dnsmasq without upstream servers indicates a problem by default,
but is perfectly normal with D-Bus enabled.  For example, NetworkManager
starts dnsmasq with no upstream servers, then immediately populates it
over D-Bus.

Not doing so can result in a use after free since the name for DHCP
derived DNS records is represented as a pointer into the DHCP lease
table. Update will only happen when necessary since lease_update_dns
tests internally on dns_dirty and the force argument is zero.

Simon Kelley 32a8f3e009 Finesse TCP timeouts for upstream connections.
Timeouts for TCP connections to non-responive servers are very long.
This in not appropriate for DNS connections.

Set timeouts for connection setup, sending data and recieving data.
The timeouts for connection setup and sending data are set at 5 seconds.
For recieving the reply this is doubled, to take into account the
time for usptream to actually get the answer.

and more portable solution than the one in place heretofore.

Simon Kelley d15d371051 Handle truncated response UDP-to-TCP to downstream queries when validating.
A relatively common situation is that the reply to a downstream query
will fit in a UDP packet when no DNSSEC RRs are present, but overflows
when the RRSIGS, NSEC ect are added. This extends the automatic
move from UDP to TCP to downstream queries which get truncated replies,
in the hope that once stripped of the DNSSEC RRs, the reply can be returned
via UDP, nwithout making the downstream retry with TCP.

If the downstream sets the DO bit, (ie it wants the DNSSEC RRs, then
this path is not taken, since the downstream will have to get a truncated
repsonse and retry to get a correct answer.

Simon Kelley f5cdb007d8 Improve handling of truncated replies to DNSSEC queries.
Heretofore, when a validating the result of an external query triggers
a DNSKEY or DS query and the result of that query is truncated, dnsmasq
has forced the whole validation process to move to TCP by returning a
truncated reply to the original requestor. This forces the original
requestor to retry the query in TCP mode, and the DNSSEC subqueries
also get made via TCP and everything works.

Note that in general the actual answer being validated is not large
enough to trigger truncation, and there's no reason not to return that
answer via UDP if we can validate it successfully. It follows that
a substandard client which can't do TCP queries will still work if the
answer could be returned via UDP, but fails if it gets an artifically
truncated answer and cannot move to TCP.

This patch teaches dnsmasq to move to TCP for DNSSEC queries when
validating UDP answers. That makes the substandard clients mentioned
above work, and saves a round trip even for clients that can do TCP.

Simon Kelley 9adbf009a6 The DHCPv4 server doesn't need CAP_NET_ADMIN if always broadcasting.
CAP_NET_ADMIN is needed in the DHCPv4 code to place entries into
the ARP cache. If it's configured to unconditionally broadcast
to unconfigured clients, it never touches the ARP cache and
doesn't need CAP_NET_ADMIN.

Heikki Linnakangas 762a3f2430 Don't create a useless inotify file desrcriptor when --port=0
If there are no dynamic configuration directories configured with
dhcp-hostsdir, dhcp-optsdir and hostsdir then we need to use inotify
only to track changes to resolv-files, but we don't need to do
that when DNS is disabled (port=0) or no resolv-files are configured.

It turns out that inotify slots can be a scarce resource, so not
using one when it's not needed is a Goood Thing.

Simon Kelley 12ddb2a4b9 Cache SOAs and return them with cached NXDOMAIN/NODATA replies.
Now we can cache arbirary RRs, give more correct answers when
replying negative answers from cache.

To implement this needed the DNS-doctor code to be untangled from
find_soa(), so it should be under suspicion for any regresssions
in that department.

Petr Menšík 2748d4e901 Introduce new --local-service=host parameter
Similar to local-service, but more strict. Listen only on localhost
unless other interface is specified. Has no effect when interface is
provided explicitly. I had multiple bugs fillen on Fedora, because I have
changed default configuration to:

interface=lo
bind-interfaces

People just adding configuration parts to /etc/dnsmasq.d or appending to
existing configuration often fail to see some defaults are already there.
Give them auto-ignored configuration as smart default.

Signed-off-by: Petr Menšík <pemensik@redhat.com>

Do not add a new parameter on command line. Instead add just parameter
for behaviour modification of existing local-service option. Now it
accepts two optional values:
- net: exactly the same as before
- host: bind only to lo interface, do not listen on any other addresses
  than loopback.

Simon Kelley f1beb79429 Fix problem with domains associated with DHCP hosts at startup.
At startup, the leases file is read by lease_init(), and
in lease_init() undecorated hostnames are expanded into
FQDNs by adding the domain associated with the address
of the lease.

lease_init() happens relavtively early in the startup, party because
if it calls  the dhcp-lease helper script, we don't want that to inherit
a load of sensitive file descriptors. This has implications if domains
are defined using the --domain=example.com,eth0 format since it's long
before we call enumerate_interfaces(), so get_domain fails for such domains.

The patch just moves the hostname expansion function to a seperate
subroutine that gets called later, after enumerate_interfaces().
