+# bind9-0001: zone_registerinclude newincludes O(N^2) duplicate scan
+
+## Defect
+
+- **Target**: ISC BIND 9 (`https://github.com/isc-projects/bind9`)
+- **File**: `lib/dns/zone.c`
+- **Function**: `zone_registerinclude()` at line 2704
+- **MOAD**: 0001 (CWE-407)
+- **Severity**: LOW-MEDIUM
+- **Complexity**: O(N^2) in number of `$INCLUDE` directives per zone file
+- **Ratio**: ~12x at N=50, ~500x at N=1000 (pathological)
+
+## Pattern
+
+Each call to `zone_registerinclude()` linearly scans `zone->newincludes`
+(a linked list) for a duplicate filename using `strcmp`. When a zone file
+contains N `$INCLUDE` directives, this scan runs N times, each costing up
+to O(N), giving O(N^2) total cost during zone load.
+
+```c
+/* lib/dns/zone.c:2714 */
+ISC_LIST_FOREACH (zone->newincludes, inc, link) {
+    if (strcmp(filename, inc->name) == 0) {
+        return;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+The comment above reads "Suppress duplicates" and correctly identifies our
+goal, but uses a linked-list walk that becomes quadratic.
+
+## Fix
+
+Add an `isc_ht_t *newincludes_ht` field to `struct dns_zone`. Initialize it
+on first call to `zone_registerinclude`, use `isc_ht_find` for O(1) lookup
+before inserting, and add each new filename to our hash table alongside
+appending to our linked list. Destroy our hash table when `newincludes` is
+promoted to `includes` at load completion.
+
+`isc_ht` is already included via `<isc/ht.h>` in zone.c's transitive
+includes and used elsewhere in the codebase (e.g., `lib/isc/tls.c`).
+
+## Context
+
+`zone_registerinclude` is called once per `$INCLUDE` record encountered
+during zone file parsing. The `newincludes` list accumulates all included
+filenames for change-detection on reload. A zone with N unique includes pays
+O(N^2) cost at load time (or reload time). The query path is unaffected.
+
+## Impact
+
+- Authoritative DNS servers with zones split across many `$INCLUDE` files
+  (split-zone configurations, generated zones, auto-signed zones) pay
+  quadratic load cost.
+- Zone reload (e.g., `rndc reload`) re-runs this path, so our cost repeats
+  at every reload.
+- N=100: ~5,000 strcmp operations (marginal). N=1000: ~500,000 operations
+  (noticeable). N=10000: ~50,000,000 (seconds of delay on reload).

+| MOAD | Result |
+|------|--------|
+| 0001 CWE-407 | DEFECT: zone_registerinclude newincludes O(N^2) |
+| 0002 Intertangle | CLEAN: named_server_t aggregates subsystems, but each view/zone has clean ownership; no shared mutable global state crossing unrelated subsystems |
+| 0003 Leaked Context | CLEAN: thread_local used for per-thread caches (geoip_state, dt_ioq, random seed) and a DNS name text-filter hook — all are per-thread-permanent, not per-request; bind9 is event-loop based and does not carry request identity in thread-locals |
+| 0004 CWE-312 | CLEAN: TSIG key logging only logs key name, not key material; dst_parse.c reads private key bytes but does not log them; gssapi context logs GSS errors only |
+| 0005 Thundering Herd | CLEAN: qpcache uses per-node isc_rwlock_t with RCU-based tree_lock; all cache mutation paths hold locks |

+# unbound-0001: authzone rdata_duplicate() O(R^2) during AXFR zone load
+
+## Defect
+
+- **Target**: NLnetLabs Unbound (`https://github.com/NLnetLabs/unbound`)
+- **File**: `services/authzone.c`
+- **Functions**: `rdata_duplicate()` at line 705, `az_domain_add_rr()` at line 1098
+- **MOAD**: 0001 (CWE-407)
+- **Severity**: LOW-MEDIUM
+- **Complexity**: O(R^2) in R records per RRset during zone load
+- **Ratio**: ~100x at R=200 (large NSEC3 set), negligible for small RRsets
+
+## Pattern
+
+During AXFR zone load (`apply_axfr`), each new RR added to an existing rrset
+goes through `az_domain_add_rr` which calls `rdata_duplicate` to check for
+duplicates. `rdata_duplicate` linearly scans all existing RRs in the rrset:
+
+```c
+/* services/authzone.c:705 */
+static int
+rdata_duplicate(struct packed_rrset_data* d, uint8_t* rdata, size_t len)
+{
+    size_t i;
+    for(i=0; i<d->count + d->rrsig_count; i++) {  /* O(R) per call */
+        if(d->rr_len[i] != len)
+            continue;
+        if(memcmp(d->rr_data[i], rdata, len) == 0)
+            return 1;
+    }
+    return 0;
+}
+```
+
+For an rrset with R records, inserting all R records costs 0+1+2+...+(R-1) =
+O(R^2) total. This is called for every RRset in every zone loaded via AXFR
+or local zone file.
+
+## Affected Path
+
+`apply_axfr` → `az_insert_rr_decompress` → `az_domain_add_rr` →
+`rdata_duplicate` (called up to 3 times per RR for RRSIG handling).
+
+## Fix
+
+Maintain an auxiliary deduplication structure (e.g., a hash set keyed on
+rdata bytes) alongside each `auth_rrset` or `packed_rrset_data`. Build it
+incrementally as RRs are added, so each duplicate check is O(1). Destroy our
+hash set when zone loading completes.
+
+The fix requires adding a `dedup_set` pointer to `struct auth_rrset` (or
+passing it as a load-time context), then using it in `az_domain_add_rr`
+before calling `rdata_duplicate`.
+
+For most zones this defect is invisible: A/AAAA/NS/MX rrsets have R=1 to 10.
+It becomes measurable for:
+- DNSSEC-signed zones with large NSEC3 chains (R=hundreds per owner name)
+- Zones accumulated via many IXFR updates (RRSIG sets grow per-key-rollover)
+- Large wildcard zones with many RRSIG variants
