Re: [SR-Users] Debian, dnssec.so, and missing dnsval.conf

In the interest of sharing and promoting DNSSEC, I was recently stumped on a problem where I noticed I could not call sip:test.echo@sip5060.net without disabling the dnssec.so module in my kamailio.cfg. The last time I had tried the sip5060 echo test was several months ago, and in the intervening time, I had applied the numerous debian package updates. Thus, I could not isolate the cause of the problem to one of the many package updates such as kamailio 4.4.x, libval, my own DNSSEC dns server, etc... My initial only clue was kamailio's syslog messages: May 12 18:02:49 tensor /usr/sbin/kamailio[24128]: ERROR: tm [ut.h:296]: uri2dst2(): ERROR: uri2dst: failed to resolve "sip5060.net" :unresolvable A or AAAA request (-7) May 12 18:02:49 tensor /usr/sbin/kamailio[24128]: ERROR: tm [t_fwd.c:1712]: t_forward_nonack(): ERROR: t_forward_nonack: failure to add branches May 12 18:02:49 tensor /usr/sbin/kamailio[24128]: ERROR: sl [sl_funcs.c:363]: sl_reply_error(): ERROR: sl_reply_error used: Unresolvable destination (478/SL) To summarize the problem, I found that kamailio's dnssec.so was failing queries to domains that were not DNSSEC protected such as sip5060.net. This behavior is a bug, since sip5060.net is in this case, provably not participating in DNSSEC from the toplevel "net." zone [1]. The fix was to provide a default configuration file to libval, which was somehow not included in Debian's libval15 package. I created the following configuration from the default dnsval.conf in the source distribution: https://dnssec-tools.org/download/dnsval-2.2.tar.gz https://dnssec-tools.org/download/dnsval-2.2.tar.gz.asc as well as their wiki: https://www.dnssec-tools.org/wiki/index.php/Dnsval.conf cat << 'EOF' > /etc/dnssec-tools/dnsval.conf ################################## # Global Options ################################## global-options trust-oob-answers yes # I'm running a DNSSEC nameserver locally, # so 4 KiB queries to localhost should be OK: edns0-size 4096 env-policy disable app-policy disable rec-fallback no ; : trust-anchor . DS 19036 8 2 49AAC11D7B6F6446702E54A1607371607A1A41855200FD2CE1CDDE32F24E8FB5 ; : zone-security-expectation . validate ; : provably-insecure-status . trusted ; : clock-skew . 0 ; EOF In summary: I find it odd that a default dnsval.conf was not included with my system's normal installation of the "libval15:amd64" package, version 2.2-4. After providing dnsval.conf, kamailio's dnssec.so was happy again. Side notes: * To identify the directory for dnsval.conf, run libval-config --dnsval-config On Debian, libval-config is in the libval-dev pacakge, and this package includes a man page for dnsval.conf as well. * To test your libval and dnsval.conf, try dt-validate -s On Debian, dt-validate is in the libval-bin package. - David [1] -- Authenticated denial of existence: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5155 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7129 And for sip5060.net, there's an NSEC3 record in the top level net. zone proving non-existance of sip5060.net DS records: http://dnsviz.net/d/sip5060.net/dnssec/ Translation: sip5060.net provably not enabled DNSEC. _______________________________________________ SIP Express Router (SER) and Kamailio (OpenSER) - sr-users mailing list sr-users(a)lists.sip-router.org http://lists.sip-router.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sr-users
