Bind upgrade producing errors on pfsense 2.5 upgrade

matthijs

@wrgraves No I did not do a fresh bind install on a fresh 2.5.0 install (I guess that works fine, like in your situation?)

nordeep

After upgrade to 2.5. Simple run: /usr/local/sbin/named -4 -c /etc/namedb/named.conf -u bind -t /cf/named/ result is Segmentation fault.

I'm using common bind setup - 1 view, 2 zones, 4 ACLs, No Sync.

wrgraves

@matthijs I have not done that yet. It would take too much downtime. I have a spare system on order that is do tomorrow. Once that's available I should be able to build a stand alone system and try that.

@wrgraves
I guess that would work, but I am hoping a full manual reconfiguration of my bind/acme setup with all the dns zones wont be necessary ;-)

@wrgraves I mentioned it earlier, but if you run named from the console and don't give it the configuration file, it seems to work fine.

/usr/local/sbin/named -4 -c /etc/namedb/named.conf -u bind -t /cf/named/ works fine for me

Could you provide your views/zones/acls configuration?
You can hide your private data by changing domain/IP.

Same issue after upgrade to 2.5.0
unable to start bind

wrgraves

@viktor_g Ok, brought up a test machine and installed a fresh pfsense 2.5 and of course the caching bind config works so I restored my config and of course it gets the segment fault in named and dies so I decided to find an example install for bind, I used this one -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sgn4oNy85_o
And as I went thru it I corrected several mistakes in my zones. Then used Status/Services to restart named and it works now. It looks like a bad zone will segment fault and crash your bind. I've been using these zones for years and that never happened in the past. A new feature?
I put the changes in my production machine.
and now I am up!!!

matthijs

@viktor_g What mistakes were in your zones ? and how to correct if all this configuration gets generated by the webinterface ?

horrza

@wrgraves Thank you!

horrza

@matthijs "Name Server" and "Base Domain IP" was the problem in my case.

matthijs

@horrza

I cannot understand that is causing the issue in my case these fields will result in the following records in de zone file (fictional IP and FQDN)

@ IN NS nameserver.fqdn.com.
@ IN A 1.1.1.1

horrza

@matthijs

I did as shown in the video on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sgn4oNy85_o&t=337s

@matthijs The video is a tutorial about configuring bind in pfsense and I just followed it while I looked at my config via the GUI. I wouldn't of even though some of the mistakes were mistakes. Like I put in the wrong base ip in the reverse zone and one of the reverse zones had localhost in the name of the nameserver and I changed it to 127.0.0.1. I cleared all the serial numbers so they were generated, probably no effect on that one. In my 2.16.172 reverse some I changed the first record from 1.2.16.172 to 1 PTR pfsense.localdomain. I increased the the Memory limit in the main config from 256M to 1024M, now that could of had an effect. Most of it was just little differences and all of the changes were made with the GUI.

Well that didn't turn out like I hoped but I deleted a couple of things too.

missed a line

Been marked as a spammer so I can't edit the previous entry. Note that you can turn off zones and that may help in debugging. Just go to the little box at the beginning of the zone and disable it and see if it stops crashing.

Hi!

Could the usage of an additional ACL cause the problem?

Debian Discussion: Bug#980786: named: after upgrade to bind9=1:9.16.11-1 named is killed with status=11/SEGV

nordeep

@freebsd-man Thanks. It's make sense.

madforic

@freebsd-man That is the issue!
In my case I disabled any named acl and bind started as expected.
Named acls make sense only for master zones. Slave and forward zones works with named acls without proplems.
