Subject: Re: DNS resolver patch
Hi Natanael/Florian,
A couple of solutions for this are stated below.
The code is in src/VBox/Devices/Network/slirp/hostres.c :517
if ( qtype != Type_A
&& qtype != Type_CNAME
&& qtype != Type_PTR
&& qtype != Type_ANY)
{
LogErr(("NAT: hostres: unsupported qtype %d\n", qtype));
return refuse(res, RCode_NotImp);
}
There are two possible fixes:
- Add a conditional above this code for Type_AAAA where the resolver returns RCode_NXDomain instead of RCode_NotImp:
if (qtype == Type_AAAA) {
LogErr(("NAT: hostres: cannot resolve qtype %d\n", qtype));
return refuse(res, RCode_NXDomain);
}
- Implement IPv6 resolution for AAAA records. The resolve() function at line 574 would need to be updated.
I just came across ticket filed by Natanael with Virtual box at https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/18171 . Since one of us is already talking with them, could you propose the above solutions to them (and add me to the loop at well).
Thanks,
Tarun

I think that's not the only bug, and glibc fails to work around all of
them. We occasionally get bug reports about DNS resolution issues under
VirtualBox, too. Oracle really needs to fix this properly.
Thanks,

Problem is here:
https://www.virtualbox.org/browser/vbox/trunk/src/VBox/Devices/Network/slirp/hostres.c?rev=59202#L408
402 if ( qtype != Type_A
403 && qtype != Type_CNAME
404 && qtype != Type_PTR
405 && qtype != Type_ANY)
406 {
407 LogErr(("NAT: hostres: unsupported qtype %d\n", qtype));
408 return refuse(pData, m, RCode_NotImp);
409 }
They should return RCode_NXDomain instead of RCode_NotImp. Seems like
they also have more of those invalid use of NotImp.
