Fixed In:
17.1.1, 15.1.10

Opened: Apr 20, 2022

Severity: 2-Critical

Symptoms

A IPv6 link-local floating self-IP breaks IPv6 query to BIND.

Impact

DNS requests will get timed out.

Conditions

1. Create a DNS record in BIND. 2. Create an IPv6 floating self-IP (for example, 2002::139) and place it into traffic-group-1. 3. Create an IPv6 DNS listener using the newly created self-IP (2002::139). So far a DNS query should be answered properly by BIND and TMM. 4. Create a dummy IPv6 floating self-IP using a link-local IP (for example, fe80::4ff:0:0:202) and place it into traffic-group-1. Now, the DNS query from outside will be timed out.
