2 Calculate the length of TFTP error reply packet
3 correctly. This fixes a problem when the error
4 message in a TFTP packet exceeds the arbitrary
5 limit of 500 characters. The message was correctly
6 truncated, but not the packet length, so
7 extra data was appended. This is a possible
8 security risk, since the extra data comes from
9 a buffer which is also used for DNS, so that
10 previous DNS queries or replies may be leaked.
11 Thanks to Mozilla for funding the security audit
12 which spotted this bug.

Ivan Kokshaysky1d076672016-07-11 18:36:05 +010014 Fix logic error in Linux netlink code. This could
15 cause dnsmasq to enter a tight loop on systems
16 with a very large number of network interfaces.
17 Thanks to Ivan Kokshaysky for the diagnosis and
18 patch.

Simon Kelleyd2aa7df2015-08-03 21:52:12 +010021version 2.76
22 Include 0.0.0.0/8 in DNS rebind checks. This range
23 translates to hosts on the local network, or, at
24 least, 0.0.0.0 accesses the local host, so could
25 be targets for DNS rebinding. See RFC 5735 section 3
26 for details. Thanks to Stephen Röttger for the bug report.
Ed Bardsleya7369be2015-08-05 21:17:18 +010027
28 Enhance --add-subnet to allow arbitrary subnet addresses.
29 Thanks to Ed Barsley for the patch.
Simon Kelley77607cb2015-09-10 23:08:43 +010030
31 Respect the --no-resolv flag in inotify code. Fixes bug
32 which caused dnsmasq to fail to start if a resolv-file
33 was a dangling symbolic link, even of --no-resolv set.
34 Thanks to Alexander Kurtz for spotting the problem.
35
Edwin Török41a8d9e2015-11-14 17:45:48 +000036 Fix crash when an A or AAAA record is defined locally,
37 in a hosts file, and an upstream server sends a reply
38 that the same name is empty. Thanks to Edwin Török for
39 the patch.
40
André Glüpkereddf3652016-01-12 12:54:17 +000041 Fix failure to correctly calculate cache-size when
42 reading a hosts-file fails. Thanks to André Glüpker
43 for the patch.
44
Simon Kelleyd05dd582016-01-19 21:23:30 +000045 Fix wrong answer to simple name query when --domain-needed
46 set, but no upstream servers configured. Dnsmasq returned
47 REFUSED, in this case, when it should be the same as when
48 upstream servers are configured - NOERROR. Thanks to
49 Allain Legacy for spotting the problem.
50
51 Return REFUSED when running out of forwarding table slots,
52 not SERVFAIL.
53
Hans Dedecker926332a2016-01-23 10:48:12 +000054 Add --max-port configuration. Thanks to Hans Dedecker for
55 the patch.
Simon Kelley1e505122016-01-25 21:29:23 +000056
57 Add --script-arp and two new functions for the dhcp-script.
58 These are "arp" and "arp-old" which announce the arrival and
59 removal of entries in the ARP or nieghbour tables.
60
61 Extend --add-mac to allow a new encoding of the MAC address
62 as base64, by configurting --add-mac=base64
Simon Kelleyfdc97e12016-02-13 17:47:17 +000063
Simon Kelley1e505122016-01-25 21:29:23 +000064 Add --add-cpe-id option.
65
Simon Kelleyfdc97e12016-02-13 17:47:17 +000066 Don't crash with divide-by-zero if an IPv6 dhcp-range
67 is declared as a whole /64.
68 (ie xx::0 to xx::ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff)
69 Thanks to Laurent Bendel for spotting this problem.
70
Simon Kelleye06e6e32016-02-24 21:26:16 +000071 Add support for a TTL parameter in --host-record and
72 --cname.
73
74 Add --dhcp-ttl option.
Simon Kelleyfdc97e12016-02-13 17:47:17 +000075
Simon Kelleybec366b2016-02-24 22:03:26 +000076 Add --tftp-mtu option. Thanks to Patrick McLean for the
77 initial patch.
78
Simon Kelleya2bc2542016-04-21 22:34:22 +010079 Check return-code of inet_pton() when parsing dhcp-option.
80 Bad addresses could fail to generate errors and result in
81 garbage dhcp-options being sent. Thanks to Marc Branchaud
82 for spotting this.
83
Simon Kelley14ffa072016-04-25 16:36:44 +010084 Fix wrong value for EDNS UDP packet size when using
85 --servers-file to define upstream DNS servers. Thanks to
86 Scott Bonar for the bug report.
87
Simon Kelley69cbf782016-05-03 21:33:38 +010088 Move the dhcp_release and dhcp_lease_time tools from
89 contrib/wrt to contrib/lease-tools.
90
91 Add dhcp_release6 to contrib/lease-tools. Many thanks
92 to Sergey Nechaev for this code.
93
Simon Kelleyb9702602016-05-03 22:34:06 +010094 To avoid filling logs in configurations which define
95 many upstream nameservers, don't log more that 30 servers.
96 The number to be logged can be changed as SERVERS_LOGGED
Simon Kelley68bea102016-05-11 22:15:06 +010097 in src/config.h.
98
99 Swap the values if BC_EFI and x86-64_EFI in --pxe-service.
100 These were previously wrong due to an error in RFC 4578.
101 If you're using BC_EFI to boot 64-bit EFI machines, you
102 will need to update your config.
103
104 Add ARM32_EFI and ARM64_EFI as valid architectures in
105 --pxe-service.
Simon Kelleyb9702602016-05-03 22:34:06 +0100106
Simon Kelley0a4a0492016-05-15 20:13:45 +0100107 Fix PXE booting for UEFI architectures. Modify PXE boot
108 sequence in this case to force the client to talk to dnsmasq
109 over port 4011. This makes PXE and especially proxy-DHCP PXE
110 work with these archictectures.
111
112 Workaround problems with UEFI PXE clients. There exist
113 in the wild PXE clients which have problems with PXE
114 boot menus. To work around this, when there's a single
115 --pxe-service which applies to client, then that target
116 will be booted directly, rather then sending a
117 single-item boot menu.
118
119 Many thanks to Jarek Polok, Michael Kuron and Dreamcat4
120 for their work on the long-standing UEFI PXE problem.
121
Simon Kelleyda2cad42016-05-18 15:14:08 +0100122 Subtle change in the semantics of "basename" in
123 --pxe-service. The historical behaviour has always been
124 that the actual filename downloaded from the TFTP server
125 is <basename>.<layer> where <layer> is an integer which
126 corresponds to the layer parameter supplied by the client.
127 It's not clear what the function of the "layer"
128 actually is in the PXE protocol, and in practise layer
129 is always zero, so the filename is <basename>.0
130 The new behaviour is the same as the old, except when
131 <basename> includes a file suffix, in which case
132 the layer suffix is no longer added. This allows
133 sensible suffices to be used, rather then the
134 meaningless ".0". Only in the unlikely event that you
135 have a config with a basename which already has a
136 suffix, is this an incompatible change, since the file
137 downloaded will change from name.suffix.0 to just
138 name.suffix

Simon Kelley63ec5d12015-07-30 20:59:07 +0100141version 2.75
142 Fix reversion on 2.74 which caused 100% CPU use when a
143 dhcp-script is configured. Thanks to Adrian Davey for
144 reporting the bug and testing the fix.
145
146
Simon Kelley90cb2222015-07-05 21:59:10 +0100147version 2.74
148 Fix reversion in 2.73 where --conf-file would attempt to
149 read the default file, rather than no file.
150
Simon Kelley362c9302015-07-06 21:48:49 +0100151 Fix inotify code to handle dangling symlinks better and
152 not SEGV in some circumstances.
153
Simon Kelley13480e82015-07-16 22:23:13 +0100154 DNSSEC fix. In the case of a signed CNAME generated by a
155 wildcard which pointed to an unsigned domain, the wrong
156 status would be logged, and some necessary checks omitted.
157
Simon Kelley362c9302015-07-06 21:48:49 +0100158
Simon Kelley00cd9d52014-10-02 21:44:21 +0100159version 2.73
160 Fix crash at startup when an empty suffix is supplied to
161 --conf-dir, also trivial memory leak. Thanks to
162 Tomas Hozza for spotting this.
Simon Kelley800c5cc2014-12-15 17:50:15 +0000163
164 Remove floor of 4096 on advertised EDNS0 packet size when
165 DNSSEC in use, the original rationale for this has long gone.
166 Thanks to Anders Kaseorg for spotting this.
167
Simon Kelleyad946d52014-12-15 17:52:22 +0000168 Use inotify for checking on updates to /etc/resolv.conf and
169 friends under Linux. This fixes race conditions when the files are
Simon Kelley04918052015-01-26 11:23:43 +0000170 updated rapidly and saves CPU by noy polling. To build
171 a binary that runs on old Linux kernels without inotify,
172 use make COPTS=-DNO_INOTIFY
Simon Kelley3ad3f3b2014-12-16 18:25:17 +0000173
174 Fix breakage of --domain=<domain>,<subnet>,local - only reverse
175 queries were intercepted. THis appears to have been broken
176 since 2.69. Thanks to Josh Stone for finding the bug.
Simon Kelley47669362014-12-17 12:41:56 +0000177
178 Eliminate IPv6 privacy addresses and deprecated addresses from
179 the answers given by --interface-name. Note that reverse queries
180 (ie looking for names, given addresses) are not affected.
181 Thanks to Michael Gorbach for the suggestion.
Simon Kelley094b5c32014-12-21 16:11:52 +0000182
183 Fix crash in DNSSEC code with long RRs. Thanks to Marco Davids
184 for the bug report.
Glen Huang32fc6db2014-12-27 15:28:12 +0000185
186 Add --ignore-address option. Ignore replies to A-record
187 queries which include the specified address. No error is
188 generated, dnsmasq simply continues to listen for another
189 reply. This is useful to defeat blocking strategies which
190 rely on quickly supplying a forged answer to a DNS
191 request for certain domains, before the correct answer can
192 arrive. Thanks to Glen Huang for the patch.
Simon Kelleyad946d52014-12-15 17:52:22 +0000193
Simon Kelley97e618a2015-01-07 21:55:43 +0000194 Revisit the part of DNSSEC validation which determines if an
195 unsigned answer is legit, or is in some part of the DNS
196 tree which should be signed. Dnsmasq now works from the
197 DNS root downward looking for the limit of signed
198 delegations, rather than working bottom up. This is
199 both more correct, and less likely to trip over broken
200 nameservers in the unsigned parts of the DNS tree
201 which don't respond well to DNSSEC queries.
Simon Kelley00cd9d52014-10-02 21:44:21 +0100202
Simon Kelley25cf5e32015-01-09 15:53:03 +0000203 Add --log-queries=extra option, which makes logs easier
204 to search automatically.
205
RinSatsuki28de3872015-01-10 15:22:21 +0000206 Add --min-cache-ttl option. I've resisted this for a long
207 time, on the grounds that disbelieving TTLs is never a
208 good idea, but I've been persuaded that there are
209 sometimes reasons to do it. (Step forward, GFW).
210 To avoid misuse, there's a hard limit on the TTL
211 floor of one hour. Thansk to RinSatsuki for the patch.
Simon Kelley39341552015-01-18 22:11:10 +0000212
213 Cope with multiple interfaces with the same link-local
214 address. (IPv6 addresses are scoped, so this is allowed.)
215 Thanks to Cory Benfield for help with this.
Simon Kelley5f4dc5c2015-01-20 20:51:02 +0000216
217 Add --dhcp-hostsdir. This allows addition of new host
218 configurations to a running dnsmasq instance much more
219 cheaply than having dnsmasq re-read all its existing
220 configuration each time.
RinSatsuki28de3872015-01-10 15:22:21 +0000221
Win King Wan61b838d2015-01-21 20:41:48 +0000222 Don't reply to DHCPv6 SOLICIT messages if we're not
223 configured to do stateful DHCPv6. Thanks to Win King Wan
224 for the patch.
225
Simon Kelley6ef15b32015-01-31 22:44:26 +0000226 Fix broken DNSSEC validation of ECDSA signatures.
Simon Kelleyf6e62e22015-03-01 18:17:54 +0000227
228 Add --dnssec-timestamp option, which provides an automatic
Simon Kelley38440b22015-04-12 21:52:47 +0100229 way to detect when the system time becomes valid after
230 boot on systems without an RTC, whilst allowing DNS
231 queries before the clock is valid so that NTP can run.
232 Thanks to Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for developing this idea.
Stefan Tomanek30d08792015-03-31 22:32:11 +0100233
234 Add --tftp-no-fail option. Thanks to Stefan Tomanek for
235 the patch.
Simon Kelley04b0ac02015-04-06 17:19:13 +0100236
Simon Kelley38440b22015-04-12 21:52:47 +0100237 Fix crash caused by looking up servers.bind, CHAOS text
238 record, when more than about five --servers= lines are
239 in the dnsmasq config. This causes memory corruption
240 which causes a crash later. Thanks to Matt Coddington for
241 sterling work chasing this down.
242
243 Fix crash on receipt of certain malformed DNS requests.
244 Thanks to Nick Sampanis for spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley0df29f52015-04-16 15:24:52 +0100245 Note that this is could allow the dnsmasq process's
246 memory to be read by an attacker under certain
247 circumstances, so it has a CVE, CVE-2015-3294
Simon Kelley38440b22015-04-12 21:52:47 +0100248
249 Fix crash in authoritative DNS code, if a .arpa zone
250 is declared as authoritative, and then a PTR query which
251 is not to be treated as authoritative arrived. Normally,
252 directly declaring .arpa zone as authoritative is not
253 done, so this crash wouldn't be seen. Instead the
254 relevant .arpa zone should be specified as a subnet
255 in the auth-zone declaration. Thanks to Johnny S. Lee
256 for the bugreport and initial patch.
Simon Kelley04b0ac02015-04-06 17:19:13 +0100257
Simon Kelley78c61842015-04-16 15:05:30 +0100258 Fix authoritative DNS code to correctly reply to NS
259 and SOA queries for .arpa zones for which we are
260 declared authoritative by means of a subnet in auth-zone.
261 Previously we provided correct answers to PTR queries
262 in such zones (including NS and SOA) but not direct
263 NS and SOA queries. Thanks to Johnny S. Lee for
Simon Kelleya5ae1f82015-04-25 21:46:10 +0100264 pointing out the problem.
265
266 Fix logging of DHCPREPLY which should be suppressed
267 by quiet-dhcp6. Thanks to J. Pablo Abonia for
268 spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley78c61842015-04-16 15:05:30 +0100269
Simon Kelleya77cec82015-05-08 16:25:38 +0100270 Try and handle net connections with broken fragmentation
271 that lose large UDP packets. If a server times out,
272 reduce the maximum UDP packet size field in the EDNS0
273 header to 1280 bytes. If it then answers, make that
274 change permanent.
275
Simon Kelleyb059c962015-05-08 20:25:51 +0100276 Check IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses when --stop-rebind
277 is active. Thanks to Jordan Milne for spotting this.
278
Simon Kelleyca85a282015-05-13 22:33:04 +0100279 Allow DHCPv4 options T1 and T2 to be set using --dhcp-option.
280 Thanks to Kevin Benton for patches and work on this.
281
Simon Kelley89130d92015-06-03 22:30:59 +0100282 Fix code for DHCPCONFIRM DHCPv6 messages to confirm addresses
283 in the correct subnet, even of not in dynamic address
284 allocation range. Thanks to Steve Hirsch for spotting
285 the problem.
Nicolas Cavallaric6d82c92015-06-09 20:42:20 +0100286
287 Add AddDhcpLease and DeleteDhcpLease DBus methods. Thanks
288 to Nicolas Cavallari for the patch.
Neil Jerram4918bd52015-06-10 22:23:20 +0100289
290 Allow configuration of router advertisements without the
291 "on-link" bit set. Thanks to Neil Jerram for the patch.
292
293 Extend --bridge-interface to DHCPv6 and router
294 advertisements. Thanks to Neil Jerram for the patch.

Simon Kelleyc4a09372014-06-02 20:30:07 +0100298 Add ra-advrouter mode, for RFC-3775 mobile IPv6 support.
299
300 Add support for "ipsets" in *BSD, using pf. Thanks to
301 Sven Falempim for the patch.
Simon Kelley8e9ffba2014-05-20 20:38:25 +0100302
Simon Kelleya0358e52014-06-07 13:38:48 +0100303 Fix race condition which could lock up dnsmasq when an
304 interface goes down and up rapidly. Thanks to Conrad
305 Kostecki for helping to chase this down.
Daniel Collinsc4638f92014-06-07 21:21:44 +0100306
307 Add DBus methods SetFilterWin2KOption and SetBogusPrivOption
308 Thanks to the Smoothwall project for the patch.
Simon Kelleycdb755c2014-06-18 20:52:53 +0100309
310 Fix failure to build against Nettle-3.0. Thanks to Steven
311 Barth for spotting this and finding the fix.
Simon Kelleya0358e52014-06-07 13:38:48 +0100312
Simon Kelley6d8e8ac2014-07-13 22:12:45 +0100313 When assigning existing DHCP leases to intefaces by comparing
314 networks, handle the case that two or more interfaces have the
315 same network part, but different prefix lengths (favour the
316 longer prefix length.) Thanks to Lung-Pin Chang for the
317 patch.
318
Simon Kelleyb5ea1cc2014-07-29 16:34:14 +0100319 Add a mode which detects and removes DNS forwarding loops, ie
320 a query sent to an upstream server returns as a new query to
321 dnsmasq, and would therefore be forwarded again, resulting in
322 a query which loops many times before being dropped. Upstream
323 servers which loop back are disabled and this event is logged.
324 Thanks to Smoothwall for their sponsorship of this feature.
325
Simon Kelley3e1551a2014-09-09 21:46:07 +0100326 Extend --conf-dir to allow filtering of files. So
327 --conf-dir=/etc/dnsmasq.d,\*.conf
328 will load all the files in /etc/dnsmasq.d which end in .conf
Ilya Ponetaev5bf50af2014-09-09 12:46:21 +0100329
Simon Kelley288df492014-09-18 21:48:51 +0100330 Fix bug when resulted in NXDOMAIN answers instead of NODATA in
331 some circumstances.
Simon Kelley57826492014-09-18 22:08:58 +0100332
333 Fix bug which caused dnsmasq to become unresponsive if it
334 failed to send packets due to a network interface disappearing.
335 Thanks to Niels Peen for spotting this.
Simon Kelleybf2db4b2014-09-18 22:10:46 +0100336
337 Fix problem with --local-service option on big-endian platforms
338 Thanks to Richard Genoud for the patch.

Simon Kelley9d1b22a2014-04-29 13:02:41 +0100341version 2.71
342 Subtle change to error handling to help DNSSEC validation
343 when servers fail to provide NODATA answers for
344 non-existent DS records.
345
346 Tweak code which removes DNSSEC records from answers when
347 not required. Fixes broken answers when additional section
348 has real records in it. Thanks to Marco Davids for the bug
349 report.
350
351 Fix DNSSEC validation of ANY queries. Thanks to Marco Davids
352 for spotting that too.
353
Simon Kelleyb692f232014-05-09 10:29:43 +0100354 Fix total DNS failure and 100% CPU use if cachesize set to zero,

362 enabled. Thanks to Manish Sing for spotting that one.
363
Simon Kelley3b1b3e92014-04-23 15:46:05 +0100364 Fix regression which broke ipset functionality. Thanks to

369 Implement dynamic interface discovery on *BSD. This allows
370 the contructor: syntax to be used in dhcp-range for DHCPv6

Simon Kelleyae762422014-01-10 18:15:16 +0000377 Fix missing RA RDNS option with configuration like
378 --dhcp-option=option6:23,[::] Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer
379 for spotting the problem.
380
Simon Kelleyc3a04082014-01-11 22:18:19 +0000381 Add [fd00::] and [fe80::] as special addresses in DHCPv6
382 options, analogous to [::]. [fd00::] is replaced with the
383 actual ULA of the interface on the machine running
384 dnsmasq, [fe80::] with the link-local address.
385 Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer for championing this.
386
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000387 DNSSEC validation and caching. Dnsmasq needs to be
388 compiled with this enabled, with
389
390 make dnsmasq COPTS=-DHAVE_DNSSEC
391
392 this add dependencies on the nettle crypto library and the
393 gmp maths library. It's possible to have these linked
394 statically with
395
396 make dnsmasq COPTS='-DHAVE_DNSSEC -DHAVE_DNSSEC_STATIC'
397
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100398 which bloats the dnsmasq binary, but saves the size of
399 the shared libraries which are much bigger.
400
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000401 To enable, DNSSEC, you will need a set of
402 trust-anchors. Now that the TLDs are signed, this can be
403 the keys for the root zone, and for convenience they are
404 included in trust-anchors.conf in the dnsmasq
405 distribution. You should of course check that these are
406 legitimate and up-to-date. So, adding
407
408 conf-file=/path/to/trust-anchors.conf
409 dnssec
Simon Kelley1ee9be42013-12-09 16:50:19 +0000410
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000411 to your config is all thats needed to get things
412 working. The upstream nameservers have to be DNSSEC-capable
413 too, of course. Many ISP nameservers aren't, but the
414 Google public nameservers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) are.
415 When DNSSEC is configured, dnsmasq validates any queries
416 for domains which are signed. Query results which are
417 bogus are replaced with SERVFAIL replies, and results
418 which are correctly signed have the AD bit set. In
419 addition, and just as importantly, dnsmasq supplies
420 correct DNSSEC information to clients which are doing
421 their own validation, and caches DNSKEY, DS and RRSIG
422 records, which significantly improve the performance of
423 downstream validators. Setting --log-queries will show
424 DNSSEC in action.
425
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100426 If a domain is returned from an upstream nameserver without
427 DNSSEC signature, dnsmasq by default trusts this. This
428 means that for unsigned zone (still the majority) there
429 is effectively no cost for having DNSSEC enabled. Of course
430 this allows an attacker to replace a signed record with a
431 false unsigned record. This is addressed by the
432 --dnssec-check-unsigned flag, which instructs dnsmasq
433 to prove that an unsigned record is legitimate, by finding
434 a secure proof that the zone containing the record is not
435 signed. Doing this has costs (typically one or two extra
436 upstream queries). It also has a nasty failure mode if
437 dnsmasq's upstream nameservers are not DNSSEC capable.
438 Without --dnssec-check-unsigned using such an upstream
439 server will simply result in not queries being validated;
440 with --dnssec-check-unsigned enabled and a
441 DNSSEC-ignorant upstream server, _all_ queries will fail.
442
443 Note that DNSSEC requires that the local time is valid and
444 accurate, if not then DNSSEC validation will fail. NTP
445 should be running. This presents a problem for routers
446 without a battery-backed clock. To set the time needs NTP
447 to do DNS lookups, but lookups will fail until NTP has run.
448 To address this, there's a flag, --dnssec-no-timecheck
449 which disables the time checks (only) in DNSSEC. When dnsmasq
450 is started and the clock is not synced, this flag should
451 be used. As soon as the clock is synced, SIGHUP dnsmasq.
452 The SIGHUP clears the cache of partially-validated data and
453 resets the no-timecheck flag, so that all DNSSEC checks
454 henceforward will be complete.
455
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000456 The development of DNSSEC in dnsmasq was started by
457 Giovanni Bajo, to whom huge thanks are owed. It has been
458 supported by Comcast, whose techfund grant has allowed for
459 an invaluable period of full-time work to get it to
460 a workable state.
461
Simon Kelleyde73a492014-02-17 21:43:27 +0000462 Add --rev-server. Thanks to Dave Taht for suggesting this.
Simon Kelley7b1eae42014-02-20 13:43:28 +0000463
464 Add --servers-file. Allows dynamic update of upstream servers
465 full access to configuration.
Simon Kelleyde73a492014-02-17 21:43:27 +0000466
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000467 Add --local-service. Accept DNS queries only from hosts
468 whose address is on a local subnet, ie a subnet for which
469 an interface exists on the server. This option
Simon Kelleyf00690f2014-03-12 20:07:12 +0000470 only has effect if there are no --interface --except-interface,
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000471 --listen-address or --auth-server options. It is intended
472 to be set as a default on installation, to allow
473 unconfigured installations to be useful but also safe from
474 being used for DNS amplification attacks.
475
Simon Kelley604f7592014-03-22 19:33:43 +0000476 Fix crashes in cache_get_cname_target() when dangling CNAMEs
477 encountered. Thanks to Andy and the rt-n56u project for
478 find this and helping to chase it down.
479
Simon Kelley10068602014-04-03 21:16:40 +0100480 Fix wrong RCODE in authoritative DNS replies to PTR queries. The
481 correct answer was included, but the RCODE was set to NXDOMAIN.
482 Thanks to Craig McQueen for spotting this.
483
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100484 Make statistics available as DNS queries in the .bind TLD as

489 Use random addresses for DHCPv6 temporary address
490 allocations, instead of algorithmically determined stable
491 addresses.
492
493 Fix bug which meant that the DHCPv6 DUID was not available
494 in DHCP script runs during the lifetime of the dnsmasq
495 process which created the DUID de-novo. Once the DUID was
496 created and stored in the lease file and dnsmasq
497 restarted, this bug disappeared.
498
499 Fix bug introduced in 2.67 which could result in erroneous
500 NXDOMAIN returns to CNAME queries.
501
502 Fix build failures on MacOS X and openBSD.
503
504 Allow subnet specifications in --auth-zone to be interface
505 names as well as address literals. This makes it possible
506 to configure authoritative DNS when local address ranges
507 are dynamic and works much better than the previous
508 work-around which exempted contructed DHCP ranges from the
509 IP address filtering. As a consequence, that work-around
510 is removed. Under certain circumstances, this change wil
511 break existing configuration: if you're relying on the
512 contructed-range exception, you need to change --auth-zone
513 to specify the same interface as is used to construct your
514 DHCP ranges, probably with a trailing "/6" like this:
515 --auth-zone=example.com,eth0/6 to limit the addresses to
516 IPv6 addresses of eth0.
Simon Kelleydd9d9ce2013-11-15 11:24:00 +0000517
518 Fix problems when advertising deleted IPv6 prefixes. If
519 the prefix is deleted (rather than replaced), it doesn't
520 get advertised with zero preferred time. Thanks to Tsachi
521 for the bug report.
Simon Kelley25439062013-11-25 21:14:51 +0000522
523 Fix segfault with some locally configured CNAMEs. Thanks
524 to Andrew Childs for spotting the problem.

526 Fix memory leak on re-reading /etc/hosts and friends,
527 introduced in 2.67.
Simon Kelley2329bef2013-12-03 13:41:16 +0000528
529 Check the arrival interface of incoming DNS and TFTP
530 requests via IPv6, even in --bind-interfaces mode. This
531 isn't possible for IPv4 and can generate scary warnings,
532 but as it's always possible for IPv6 (the API always
533 exists) then we should do it always.
Vladislav Grishenko4c82efc2013-12-03 16:05:30 +0000534
535 Tweak the rules on prefix-lengths in --dhcp-range for
536 IPv6. The new rule is that the specified prefix length
537 must be larger than or equal to the prefix length of the
538 corresponding address on the local interface.

544 this and supplying the patch.
Simon Kelleyaa63a212013-04-22 15:01:52 +0100545
546 Repair regression in 2.64. That release stopped sending
547 lease-time information in the reply to DHCPINFORM
548 requests, on the correct grounds that it was a standards
549 violation. However, this broke the dnsmasq-specific
550 dhcp_lease_time utility. Now, DHCPINFORM returns
551 lease-time only if it's specifically requested
552 (maintaining standards) and the dhcp_lease_time utility
553 has been taught to ask for it (restoring functionality).
Simon Kelley86e92f92013-04-23 11:31:39 +0100554
555 Fix --dhcp-match, --dhcp-vendorclass and --dhcp-userclass

Simon Kelley3f2873d2013-05-14 11:28:47 +0100564
565 Handle IPv4 interface-address labels in Linux. These are
566 often used to emulate the old IP-alias addresses. Before,
567 using --interface=eth0 would service all the addresses of
568 eth0, including ones configured as aliases, which appear
569 in ifconfig as eth0:0. Now, only addresses with the label
570 eth0 are active. This is not backwards compatible: if you
571 want to continue to bind the aliases too, you need to add
572 eg. --interface=eth0:0 to the config.

Simon Kelleye2ba0df2013-05-31 17:04:25 +0100593 If wildcards are used in --interface, don't assume that
594 there will only ever be one available interface for DHCP
595 just because there is one at start-up. More may appear, so
596 we can't use SO_BINDTODEVICE. Thanks to Natrio for the bug

618 advertised IPv6 prefix disappears, continue to advertise
619 the prefix for up to 2 hours, with the preferred lifetime
620 set to zero. This satisfies RFC 6204 4.3 L-13 and makes
621 things work better if a prefix disappears without being

Simon Kelley333b2ce2013-01-07 21:46:03 +0000696version 2.66
697 Add the ability to act as an authoritative DNS
698 server. Dnsmasq can now answer queries from the wider 'net
699 with local data, as long as the correct NS records are set
700 up. Only local data is provided, to avoid creating an open
701 DNS relay. Zone transfer is supported, to allow secondary
702 servers to be configured.
703
704 Add "constructed DHCP ranges" for DHCPv6. This is intended
705 for IPv6 routers which get prefixes dynamically via prefix
706 delegation. With suitable configuration, stateful DHCPv6
707 and RA can happen automatically as prefixes are delegated
708 and then deprecated, without having to re-write the
709 dnsmasq configuration file or restart the daemon. Thanks to
710 Steven Barth for extensive testing and development work on
711 this idea.

717 Add code to make behaviour for TCP DNS requests that same
718 as for UDP requests, when a request arrives for an allowed
719 address, but via a banned interface. This change is only
720 active on Linux, since the relevant API is missing (AFAIK)

Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +0000744 Don't erroneously reject some option names in --dhcp-match
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000745 options. Thanks to Benedikt Hochstrasser for the bug report.
Simon Kelley49333cb2013-03-15 20:30:51 +0000746
747 Allow a trailing '*' wildcard in all interface-name
748 configurations. Thanks to Christian Parpart for the patch.

Simon Kelley56a11422013-04-02 17:02:58 +0100750 Handle the situation where libc headers define
751 SO_REUSEPORT, but the kernel in use doesn't, to cope with
752 the introduction of this option to Linux. Thanks to Rich
753 Felker for the bug report.

766 TCP which are not for A and AAAA and which were directed to
767 non-default servers. Thanks to Niax for the bug report.
768

774
Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +0100775version 2.64
776 Handle DHCP FQDN options with all flag bits zero and
777 --dhcp-client-update set. Thanks to Bernd Krumbroeck for
778 spotting the problem.
779
Simon Kelley12d71ed2012-08-30 15:16:41 +0100780 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
781 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
782 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
783 generate a warning. Now that only happesn if there is not
784 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in
785 /etc/hosts with one of them assigned via DHCP.
786
Simon Kelley4d0f5b42012-09-05 23:29:30 +0100787 Fix broken vendor-option processing for BOOTP. Thanks to

Simon Kelleye4807d82012-09-27 21:52:26 +0100808 Fix breakage of --host-record parsing, resulting in
809 infinte loop at startup. Regression in 2.63. Thanks to
810 Haim Gelfenbeyn for spotting this.
811
Simon Kelley20223102012-10-15 10:41:17 +0100812 Set SO_REUSEADDRESS and SO_V6ONLY options on the DHCPv6
813 socket, this allows multiple instances of dnsmasq on a
814 single machine, in the same way as for DHCPv4. Thanks to
815 Gene Czarcinski and Vladislav Grishenko for work on this.
816
Simon Kelleybe6cfb42012-10-16 20:38:31 +0100817 Fix DHCPv6 to do access control correctly when it's
818 configured with --listen-address. Thanks to
819 Gene Czarcinski for sorting this out.
820
Simon Kelley819ff4d2012-10-21 18:25:12 +0100821 Add a "wildcard" dhcp-range which works for any IPv6
822 subnet, --dhcp-range=::,static Useful for Stateless
823 DHCPv6. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
824
Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +0000825 Don't include lease-time in DHCPACK replies to DHCPINFORM
826 queries, since RFC-2131 says we shouldn't. Thanks to
827 Wouter Ibens for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley8e4b8792012-11-14 14:12:56 +0000828
829 Makefile tweak to do dependency checking on header files.

832 Check interface for outgoing unsolicited router
833 advertisements, rather than relying on interface address
834 configuration. Thanks to Gene Czarinski for the patch.
Simon Kelley29d28dd2012-12-03 14:05:59 +0000835
836 Handle better attempts to transmit on interfaces which are
837 still doing DAD, and specifically do not just transmit
838 without setting source address and interface, since this
839 can cause very puzzling effects when a router
840 advertisement goes astray. Thanks again to Gene Czarinski.

850 start-up. Thanks to Daniel Veillard for the initial patch.
851
852 Allow more than one --tfp-root flag. The per-interface
853 stuff is pointless without that.
854
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100855 Add --bind-dynamic. A hybrid mode between the default and
856 --bind-interfaces which copes with dynamically created
857 interfaces.
Simon Kelley6b617c02012-06-29 21:15:42 +0100858
859 A couple of fixes to the build system for Android. Thanks
860 to Metin Kaya for the patches.
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100861
Simon Kelley8bc4cec2012-07-03 21:04:11 +0100862 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
863 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
864 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
865 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
866 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
867 superceded by other mechanisms.
868
Simon Kelleyc4a7f902012-07-12 20:52:12 +0100869 Fixed bug logging filenames when duplicate dhcp-host
870 addresses are found. Thanks to John Hanks for the patch.
871
Simon Kelley611ebc52012-07-16 16:23:46 +0100872 Fix regression in 2.61 which broke caching of CNAME

Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +0100877 Teach DHCPv6 about the RFC 4242 information-refresh-time
878 option, and add parsing if the minutes, hours and days
879 format for options. Thanks to Francois-Xavier Le Bail for
880 the suggestion.
881
882 Allow "w" (for week) as multiplier in lease times, as well
883 as seconds, minutes, hours and days. Álvaro Gámez Machado
884 spotted the ommission.

902
Simon Kelley919dd7c2012-05-12 15:23:09 +0100903 Fixed bug which caused missing periodic router
904 advertisements with some configurations. Thanks to
905 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
906
Simon Kelleyc64b7f62012-05-18 10:19:59 +0100907 Fixed bug which broke DHCPv6/RA with prefix lengths
908 which are not divisible by 8. Thanks to Andre Coetzee
909 for spotting this.
910
Simon Kelley18c63ef2012-05-21 14:34:15 +0100911 Fix non-response to router-solicitations when
912 router-advertisement configured, but DHCPv6 not
913 configured. Thanks to Marien Zwart for the patch.
914
Simon Kelley9f7f3b12012-05-28 21:39:57 +0100915 Add --dns-rr, to allow arbitrary DNS resource records.
916
Simon Kelley5ae34bf2012-06-04 21:14:03 +0100917 Fixed bug which broke RA scheduling when an interface had
918 two addresses in the same network. Thanks to Jim Bos for
919 his help nailing this.
920
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000921version 2.61
922 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use
923 getifaddrs. This is more portable, more straightforward,
924 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
925 addresses.
926
Simon Kelley01d1b8d2012-03-28 21:37:25 +0100927 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
928 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
929 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
930 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
931 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
932 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.
Simon Kelley7023e382012-03-09 12:05:49 +0000933
Simon Kelley8b372702012-03-09 17:45:10 +0000934 Add --dhcp-duid to allow DUID-EN uids to be used.
935
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000936 Explicity send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
937 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
938 source address, since at least one client in the wild gets
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100939 this wrong. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki for help tracking
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000940 this down.
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000941
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000942 Send a preference value of 255 in DHCPv6 replies when
943 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
944 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
945
946 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
947
Simon Kelleye759d422012-03-16 13:18:57 +0000948 Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the
949 suggestion.
950
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000951 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
952 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
953 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
954 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilties
955 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
956 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
957 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
958 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
959 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
960 Gadgil.
961
962 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
963 the above.
964
965 Set the environment variable DNSMASQ_LOG_DHCP when running
966 the script id --log-dhcp is in effect, so that script can

968 Forkel.
969
970 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
971 work even if there is no interface carrying the
972 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
973 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
974 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
975 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
976 the idea and initial patch.

Simon Kelley7d2b5c92012-03-23 10:00:02 +0000978 Fix crash, introduced in 2.60, when a DHCPINFORM is
979 received from a network which has no valid dhcp-range.
980 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
981
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +0100982 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
983 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
984 preffered lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
985 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
986 for existing connections, but new connections will use
987 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
988 renumbering at least possible.
989
990 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease

1033 which is not the primary address of an interface.
1034
1035 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
1036
1037 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
1038 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
1039 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
1040 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
1041 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
1042 implementation.
1043
1044 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
1045 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
1046 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
1047 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
1048 set them from the make command line.
1049
1050 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
1051 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.

1081
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +00001082 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
1083 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
1084 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
1085 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
1086 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
1087 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
1088 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
1089 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
1090 These will be added as the standards mature.
1091 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
1092 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
1093 testers who have got it this far.
Simon Kelley1adadf52012-02-13 22:15:58 +00001094
Simon Kelleyac8540c2012-02-26 20:57:31 +00001095 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
1096 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
1097 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
1098 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
1099 enabling with --enable-ra.
1100
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +00001101 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
1102 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive
1103 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
1104 Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.
Simon Kelley71ee7ee2012-03-03 18:06:49 +00001105
1106 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +00001111version 2.59
1112 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
1113 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
1114 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
1115 report.
1116
1117 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
1118 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
1119 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
1120 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
1121 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
1122 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
1123 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
1124 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
1125 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +01001126
1127
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001128version 2.58
1129 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
1130 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
1131
1132 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
1133 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
1134 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
1135
1136 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
1137 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
1138 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
1139 server-deployment applications need this.
1140
1141 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
1142 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
1143 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
1144 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
1145 in chasing this one down.
1146
1147 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
1148 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
1149 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
1150 the problem.
1151
1152 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
1153 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
1154 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
1155 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
1156 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
1157 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
1158
1159 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
1160 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
1161 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
1162 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
1163 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
1164 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
1165 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
1166 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
1167
1168 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
1169 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
1170
1171 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
1172 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
1173 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
1174 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
1175
1176 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
1177 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
1178
1179 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
1180 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
1181 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
1182 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
1183 Agrawal for the patch.
1184
1185 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
1186 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
1187 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
1188 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
1189 per-network values. So
1190 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
1191 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
1192 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
1193 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
1194 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
1195 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
1196
1197 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
1198 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
1199 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
1200 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
1201 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
1202 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
1203 a comprehensive test-case.
1204
1205 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
1206 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
Simon Kelleyde604c12012-10-19 09:50:01 +01001207 length. Many thanks to Loic Pefferkorn for finding this.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001208
1209 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
1210 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
1211 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
1212 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to
1213 Michael Stapelberg for the suggestion.
1214
1215 Update Polish translation, thanks to Jan Psota.

1217 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

1219
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +00001220version 2.57
1221 Add patches to allow build under Android.
1222
1223 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
1224 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
1225 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
1226 effectively empty on Android.
1227
1228 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
1229 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
1230 wildcard.
1231
1232 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
1233 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
1234 spotting this.
1235
1236 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
1237 IDN support continues to be included automatically
1238 when i18n is included.
1239 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
1240
1241 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
1242 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
1243 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.
1244
1245
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001246version 2.56
1247 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
1248 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
1249
1250 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
1251 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
1252 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
1253 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
1254
1255 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
1256 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
1257
1258 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
1259 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
1260 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
1261
1262 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
1263 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
1264 syslogd.
1265
1266 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
1267 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
1268 Petrin for the orignal patch.
1269
1270 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
1271 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
1272 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
1273
1274 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
1275 option, on the command line.
1276
1277 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
1278 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
1279
1280 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
1281 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
1282 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
1283 to John Hallam for the patch.
1284
1285 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
1286 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
1287 character chunks instead.
1288
1289 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
1290 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
1291 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
1292 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
1293
1294 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
1295 transfer has completed succesfully.
1296
1297 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
1298 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
1299 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
1300 which automatically creates
1301 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
1302 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
1303
1304 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
1305 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
1306
1307 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
1308 thanks for that.
1309
1310 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
1311 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
1312 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
1313 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
1314 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
1315 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
1316 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
1317 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
1318 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
1319
1320 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
1321 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
1322 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
1323 set.
1324
1325 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
1326 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
1327
1328 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
1329 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
1330 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
1331
1332 Edit
1333 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
1334 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
1335 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
1336
1337 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
1338 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
1339 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
1340 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
1341 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
1342 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
1343 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
1344 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
1345 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
1346 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
1347 So:
1348 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
1349 --server=/google.com/#
1350 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
1351 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
1352 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
1353 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
1354 William for pointing out the need for this.
1355
1356 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
1357 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
1358 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
1359
1360 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
1361 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
1362 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
1363 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.
1364
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +00001365 Fix cosmetic bug which produced strange output when

Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001386version 2.53
1387 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
1388 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
1389
1390 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
1391 generated by gcc 4.4.
1392
1393 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
1394 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
1395
1396 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
1397 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
1398 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
1399
1400 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
1401 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
1402 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
1403 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
1404 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
1405 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
1406 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
1407 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
1408 the documentation and new-style config files should be
1409 much less confusing.
1410
1411 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
1412 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
1413 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
1414
1415 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
1416
1417 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
1418
1419 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
1420 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
1421 finding this.
1422
1423 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
1424 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
1425 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
1426 from the client.
1427
1428 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
1429 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
1430 finding this.
1431
1432 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
1433 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
1434 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
1435 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
1436 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
1437 server-override option.
1438
1439 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
1440 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
1441 allows a single line of the form
1442 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
1443 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
1444 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
1445 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
1446 irrespective of the existance or lack of
1447 interface=<interface>
1448 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
1449 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
1450 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
1451 configuration.
1452
1453 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
1454
1455 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
1456 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
1457
1458 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
1459 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
1460 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
1461 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
1462
1463 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
1464 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
1465 file, not the process/descriptor.
1466
1467 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
1468 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
1469
1470 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
1471 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
1472 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
1473 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
1474 this and testing the fix.
1475
1476 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
1477 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
1478 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
1479
1480 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
1481 upstream servers: this allows something like
1482 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
1483 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
1484 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
1485 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
1486
1487 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
1488 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
1489 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
1490 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
1491 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
1492 work on this.
1493
1494 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
1495 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
1496 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
1497 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
1498 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
1499 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
1500 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
1501
1502 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
1503
1504 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
1505 than one server available for a domain, eg.
1506 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
1507 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
1508 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
1509 here.
1510
1511 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
1512
1513 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
1514 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1515
1516 Fix regression which caused configuration like
1517 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
1518 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
1519 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
1520 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
1521
1522 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
1523 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1524
1525 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
1526 is set.
1527
1528 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
1529 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.

1540 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
1541 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.

Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001546version 2.52
1547 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
1548 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
1549 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
1550 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
1551 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
1552 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
1553 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
1554 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
1555
1556 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
1557 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
1558 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
1559 necessary for some *WRT distros.
1560
1561 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
1562 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
1563 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
1564 when dnsmasq is first started.
1565
1566 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
1567 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
1568 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
1569 with certain clients.
1570
1571 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
1572 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
1573 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
1574
1575 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
1576 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
1577 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
1578 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
1579 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
1580 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
1581 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
1582 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
1583 numbers delimited by dots.
1584
1585 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
1586 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
1587
1588 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
1589 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
1590
1591 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
1592 contrib/Solaris10.
1593
1594 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
1595 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
1596 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
1597 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
1598 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
1599 addresses available in such an installation removes a
1600 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
1601
1602 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
1603 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
1604 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
1605 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
1606
1607 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
1608 the lease-change script in the environment variable
1609 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
1610
1611 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
1612 Options". The syntax looks like this:
1613 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
1614
1615 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
1616 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
1617 looks like this:
1618 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
1619
1620 Add some application specific code to assist in
1621 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
1622 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
1623
1624 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
1625 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
1626 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
1627 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
1628
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001629 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001630 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
1631
1632 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
1633 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
1634 this.
1635
1636 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
1637 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
1638 providing this.
1639
1640 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.
1641 Thanks to Oschtan for the bug report.
1642
1643 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1644
1645 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1646
1647 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1648
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001649 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
1650 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
1651 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
1652 finding and analysing the problem.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001653
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001654
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001655version 2.51
1656 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
1657 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
1658 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
1659 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
1660 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
1661 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
1662 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
1663 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
1664 suggestion.
1665
1666 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
1667 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
1668 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
1669 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
1670 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
1671 a DHCP relay, if used.
1672 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
1673
1674 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
1675 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
1676
1677 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
1678 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
1679 dhcp-option-force.
1680
1681 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
1682 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
1683 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
1684
1685 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
1686 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
1687 the patch.
1688
1689 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1690
1691 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
1692 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
1693
1694 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
1695 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
1696 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
1697 suggestion.
1698
1699 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
1700 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
1701 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
1702 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
1703 dhcp-optsfile.
1704
1705 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
1706 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
1707 is retried. This should improve performance when there
1708 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
1709 suggestion.
1710
1711 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
1712 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
1713 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
1714 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
1715 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
1716
1717 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
1718 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
1719 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
1720 fragmented packets.
1721
1722 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
1723 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
1724
1725 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +01001728version 2.50
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001729 Fix security problem which allowed any host permitted to
Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +01001730 do TFTP to possibly compromise dnsmasq by remote buffer
1731 overflow when TFTP enabled. Thanks to Core Security
1732 Technologies and Iván Arce, Pablo Hernán Jorge, Alejandro
1733 Pablo Rodriguez, Martín Coco, Alberto Soliño Testa and
1734 Pablo Annetta. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36121
1735 and CVE: 2009-2957
1736
1737 Fix a problem which allowed a malicious TFTP client to
1738 crash dnsmasq. Thanks to Steve Grubb at Red Hat for
1739 spotting this. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36120 and
1740 CVE: 2009-2958
1741
1742
Simon Kelley03a97b62009-06-10 20:55:49 +01001743version 2.49
1744 Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
1745 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
1746
1747 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
1748 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
1749 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
1750 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
1751
1752 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1753
1754
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001755version 2.48
1756 Archived the extensive, backwards, changelog to
1757 CHANGELOG.archive. The current changelog now runs from
1758 version 2.43 and runs conventionally.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001759
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001760 Fixed bug which broke binding of servers to physical
1761 interfaces when interface names were longer than four
1762 characters. Thanks to MURASE Katsunori for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001763
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001764 Fixed netlink code to check that messages come from the
1765 correct source, and not another userspace process. Thanks
1766 to Steve Grubb for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001767
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001768 Maintainability drive: removed bug and missing feature
1769 workarounds for some old platforms. Solaris 9, OpenBSD
1770 older than 4.1, Glibc older than 2.2, Linux 2.2.x and
1771 DBus older than 1.1.x are no longer supported.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001772
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001773 Don't read included configuration files more than once:
1774 allows complex configuration structures without problems.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001775
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001776 Mark log messages from the various subsystems in dnsmasq:
1777 messages from the DHCP subsystem now have the ident string
1778 "dnsmasq-dhcp" and messages from TFTP have ident
1779 "dnsmasq-tftp". Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001780
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001781 Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
1782 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
1783 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001784
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001785 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
1786 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
1787 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001788
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001789 Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001790
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001791 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
1792 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
1793 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
1794 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
1795 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
1796 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
1797 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
1798 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
1799 and Michael Brown for assistance.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001800
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001801 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
1802 useful suggestions.
1803
1804 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
1805 this, edit src/config.h or build with
1806 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
1807
1808 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
1809 configuration files only.
Simon Kelley33820b72004-04-03 21:10:00 +01001810
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001811 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley73a08a22009-02-05 20:28:08 +00001813
1814version 2.47
1815 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1816
1817 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
1818 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
1819
1820 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
1821 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
1822 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overriden in CFLAGS.
1823
1824 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1825 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1826 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1827 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1828 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1829 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1830 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1831 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1832 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1833 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1834 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1835 Krafft for the bug report.
1836
1837 Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.
1838
1839 Update Dbus configuration file. Patch from Colin Walters.
1840 Fix for this bug:
1841 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18961
1842
1843 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
1844 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
1845 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
1846 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
1847
1848 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
1849 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
1850
1851 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
1852
1853 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
1854 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
1855 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
1856 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
1857 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
1858
1859 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
1860 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
1861
1862 No longer complain about blank lines in
1863 /etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
1864
1865 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
1866 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
1867 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
1868 for the bug report.
1869
1870 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
1871 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
1872 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
1873 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
1874
1875 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
1876 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
1877 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
1878 as before.
1879 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
1880 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
1881 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
1882
1883 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
1884 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
1885 Windows even when using supernetting.
1886 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1887 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1888 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1889 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
1890
1891 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1892
1893 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1894 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1895 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1896 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1897 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1898 directory owned and write-able by the user running
1899 dnsmasq.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001900
1901
1902version 2.46
1903 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
1904 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
1905 suggestion.
1906
1907 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
1908 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
1909 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
1910 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
1911 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
1912
1913 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
1914 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
1915 based in their IP address.
1916
1917 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1918 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1919 a domain associated with each client, and only
1920 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1921 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
1922 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
1923 long as they are in different domains.
1924
1925 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
1926 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
1927 have now that it's variable.
1928
1929 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
1930 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
1931 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
1932 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
1933 potential.
1934
1935 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
1936 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
1937 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
1938
1939 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
1940 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
1941
1942 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
1943 which the DHCP request was received.
1944
1945 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
1946 Laine for the patch.
1947
1948 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
1949 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
1950
1951 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1952 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1953 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1954 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1955 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1956 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1957 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1958 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1959 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1960 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1961 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
1962
1963 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
1964 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
1965 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
1966 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
1967 improvement.
1968
1969 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
1970 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
1971 suggestions on this.
1972
1973 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
1974 Fisher.
1975
1976 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1977
1978 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
1979 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
1980
1981 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1982
1983 Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
1984 up" event occurs.
1985
1986
1987version 2.45
1988 Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
1989 specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
1990 bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
1991 break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
1992
1993
1994version 2.44
1995 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
1996 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
1997 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
1998
1999 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
2000 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
2001 never been reported in the wild.
2002
2003 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
2004 Jean Wolter for finding this.
2005
2006 Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
2007 is large.
2008
2009 Patch to enable compilation of latest Mac OS X. Thanks to
2010 David Gilman.
2011
2012 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Christopher Chatham.
2013
2014
2015version 2.43
2016 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
2017
2018 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
2019 illegally.
2020
2021 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
2022
2023 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
2024 format.
2025
2026 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
2027 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
2028 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
2029 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
2030 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
2031
2032 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
2033 Rack for the bug report.
2034
2035 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
2036 Bergquist.
2037
2038 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
2039 option.
2040
2041 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
2042 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
2043
2044 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
2045 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
2046
2047 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
2048 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
2049 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
2050 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
2051 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
2052 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
2053 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
2054 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
2055 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
2056 suggestions.
2057
2058 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
2059 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
2060 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
2061
2062 Implement random source ports for interactions with
2063 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
2064 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
2065 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
2066 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
2067 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
2068 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
2069 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
2070 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
2071 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
2072
2073 Replace the random number generator, for better
2074 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
2075 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
2076 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
2077 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
2078 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
2079 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
2080
2081 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
2082 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
2083 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
2084 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
2085 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
2086
2087 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
