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.
13
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.
19
Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant06093a92016-07-11 21:03:27 +010020 Fix problem with --dnssec-timestamp whereby receipt
21 of SIGHUP would erroneously engage timestamp checking.
22 Thanks to Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for this work.
Simon Kelleyc8328ec2016-08-05 16:54:58 +010023
24 Bump zone serial on reloading /etc/hosts and friends
25 when providing authoritative DNS. Thanks to Harrald
26 Dunkel for spotting this.
Simon Kelley6d950992016-08-11 23:38:54 +010027
28 Handle v4-mapped IPv6 addresses sanely in --synth-domain.
29 These have standard representation like ::ffff:1.2.3.4
30 and are now converted to names like
31 <prefix>--ffff-1-2-3-4.<domain>
32
Beniamino Galvani2675f202016-08-28 20:44:05 +010033 Handle binding upstream servers to an interface
34 (--server=1.2.3.4@eth0) when the named interface
35 is destroyed and recreated in the kernel. Thanks to
36 Beniamino Galvani for the patch.
37
Simon Kelleyb637d782016-12-13 16:44:11 +000038 Allow wildcard CNAME records in authoritative zones.
39 For example --cname=*.example.com,default.example.com
40 Thanks to Pro Backup for sponsoring this development.
41
Simon Kelley09b768e2016-12-22 22:16:58 +000042 Bump the allowed backlog of TCP connections from 5 to 32,
43 and make this a compile-time configurable option. Thanks
44 to Donatas Abraitis for diagnosing this as a potential
45 problem.
46
Simon Kelley294d36d2016-07-06 21:30:25 +010047
Simon Kelleyd2aa7df2015-08-03 21:52:12 +010048version 2.76
49 Include 0.0.0.0/8 in DNS rebind checks. This range
50 translates to hosts on the local network, or, at
51 least, 0.0.0.0 accesses the local host, so could
52 be targets for DNS rebinding. See RFC 5735 section 3
53 for details. Thanks to Stephen Röttger for the bug report.
Ed Bardsleya7369be2015-08-05 21:17:18 +010054
55 Enhance --add-subnet to allow arbitrary subnet addresses.
56 Thanks to Ed Barsley for the patch.
Simon Kelley77607cb2015-09-10 23:08:43 +010057
58 Respect the --no-resolv flag in inotify code. Fixes bug
59 which caused dnsmasq to fail to start if a resolv-file
60 was a dangling symbolic link, even of --no-resolv set.
61 Thanks to Alexander Kurtz for spotting the problem.
62
Edwin Török41a8d9e2015-11-14 17:45:48 +000063 Fix crash when an A or AAAA record is defined locally,
64 in a hosts file, and an upstream server sends a reply
65 that the same name is empty. Thanks to Edwin Török for
66 the patch.
67
André Glüpkereddf3652016-01-12 12:54:17 +000068 Fix failure to correctly calculate cache-size when
69 reading a hosts-file fails. Thanks to André Glüpker
70 for the patch.
71
Simon Kelleyd05dd582016-01-19 21:23:30 +000072 Fix wrong answer to simple name query when --domain-needed
73 set, but no upstream servers configured. Dnsmasq returned
74 REFUSED, in this case, when it should be the same as when
75 upstream servers are configured - NOERROR. Thanks to
76 Allain Legacy for spotting the problem.
77
78 Return REFUSED when running out of forwarding table slots,
79 not SERVFAIL.
80
Hans Dedecker926332a2016-01-23 10:48:12 +000081 Add --max-port configuration. Thanks to Hans Dedecker for
82 the patch.
Simon Kelley1e505122016-01-25 21:29:23 +000083
84 Add --script-arp and two new functions for the dhcp-script.
85 These are "arp" and "arp-old" which announce the arrival and
86 removal of entries in the ARP or nieghbour tables.
87
88 Extend --add-mac to allow a new encoding of the MAC address
89 as base64, by configurting --add-mac=base64
Simon Kelleyfdc97e12016-02-13 17:47:17 +000090
Simon Kelley1e505122016-01-25 21:29:23 +000091 Add --add-cpe-id option.
92
Simon Kelleyfdc97e12016-02-13 17:47:17 +000093 Don't crash with divide-by-zero if an IPv6 dhcp-range
94 is declared as a whole /64.
95 (ie xx::0 to xx::ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff)
96 Thanks to Laurent Bendel for spotting this problem.
97
Simon Kelleye06e6e32016-02-24 21:26:16 +000098 Add support for a TTL parameter in --host-record and
99 --cname.
100
101 Add --dhcp-ttl option.
Simon Kelleyfdc97e12016-02-13 17:47:17 +0000102
Simon Kelleybec366b2016-02-24 22:03:26 +0000103 Add --tftp-mtu option. Thanks to Patrick McLean for the
104 initial patch.
105
Simon Kelleya2bc2542016-04-21 22:34:22 +0100106 Check return-code of inet_pton() when parsing dhcp-option.
107 Bad addresses could fail to generate errors and result in
108 garbage dhcp-options being sent. Thanks to Marc Branchaud
109 for spotting this.
110
Simon Kelley14ffa072016-04-25 16:36:44 +0100111 Fix wrong value for EDNS UDP packet size when using
112 --servers-file to define upstream DNS servers. Thanks to
113 Scott Bonar for the bug report.
114
Simon Kelley69cbf782016-05-03 21:33:38 +0100115 Move the dhcp_release and dhcp_lease_time tools from
116 contrib/wrt to contrib/lease-tools.
117
118 Add dhcp_release6 to contrib/lease-tools. Many thanks
119 to Sergey Nechaev for this code.
120
Simon Kelleyb9702602016-05-03 22:34:06 +0100121 To avoid filling logs in configurations which define
122 many upstream nameservers, don't log more that 30 servers.
123 The number to be logged can be changed as SERVERS_LOGGED
Simon Kelley68bea102016-05-11 22:15:06 +0100124 in src/config.h.
125
126 Swap the values if BC_EFI and x86-64_EFI in --pxe-service.
127 These were previously wrong due to an error in RFC 4578.
128 If you're using BC_EFI to boot 64-bit EFI machines, you
129 will need to update your config.
130
131 Add ARM32_EFI and ARM64_EFI as valid architectures in
132 --pxe-service.
Simon Kelleyb9702602016-05-03 22:34:06 +0100133
Simon Kelley0a4a0492016-05-15 20:13:45 +0100134 Fix PXE booting for UEFI architectures. Modify PXE boot
135 sequence in this case to force the client to talk to dnsmasq
136 over port 4011. This makes PXE and especially proxy-DHCP PXE
137 work with these archictectures.
138
139 Workaround problems with UEFI PXE clients. There exist
140 in the wild PXE clients which have problems with PXE
141 boot menus. To work around this, when there's a single
142 --pxe-service which applies to client, then that target
143 will be booted directly, rather then sending a
144 single-item boot menu.
145
146 Many thanks to Jarek Polok, Michael Kuron and Dreamcat4
147 for their work on the long-standing UEFI PXE problem.
148
Simon Kelleyda2cad42016-05-18 15:14:08 +0100149 Subtle change in the semantics of "basename" in
150 --pxe-service. The historical behaviour has always been
151 that the actual filename downloaded from the TFTP server
152 is <basename>.<layer> where <layer> is an integer which
153 corresponds to the layer parameter supplied by the client.
154 It's not clear what the function of the "layer"
155 actually is in the PXE protocol, and in practise layer
156 is always zero, so the filename is <basename>.0
157 The new behaviour is the same as the old, except when
158 <basename> includes a file suffix, in which case
159 the layer suffix is no longer added. This allows
160 sensible suffices to be used, rather then the
161 meaningless ".0". Only in the unlikely event that you
162 have a config with a basename which already has a
163 suffix, is this an incompatible change, since the file
164 downloaded will change from name.suffix.0 to just
165 name.suffix
166
Simon Kelleybec366b2016-02-24 22:03:26 +0000167
Simon Kelley63ec5d12015-07-30 20:59:07 +0100168version 2.75
169 Fix reversion on 2.74 which caused 100% CPU use when a
170 dhcp-script is configured. Thanks to Adrian Davey for
171 reporting the bug and testing the fix.
172
173
Simon Kelley90cb2222015-07-05 21:59:10 +0100174version 2.74
175 Fix reversion in 2.73 where --conf-file would attempt to
176 read the default file, rather than no file.
177
Simon Kelley362c9302015-07-06 21:48:49 +0100178 Fix inotify code to handle dangling symlinks better and
179 not SEGV in some circumstances.
180
Simon Kelley13480e82015-07-16 22:23:13 +0100181 DNSSEC fix. In the case of a signed CNAME generated by a
182 wildcard which pointed to an unsigned domain, the wrong
183 status would be logged, and some necessary checks omitted.
184
Simon Kelley362c9302015-07-06 21:48:49 +0100185
Simon Kelley00cd9d52014-10-02 21:44:21 +0100186version 2.73
187 Fix crash at startup when an empty suffix is supplied to
188 --conf-dir, also trivial memory leak. Thanks to
189 Tomas Hozza for spotting this.
Simon Kelley800c5cc2014-12-15 17:50:15 +0000190
191 Remove floor of 4096 on advertised EDNS0 packet size when
192 DNSSEC in use, the original rationale for this has long gone.
193 Thanks to Anders Kaseorg for spotting this.
194
Simon Kelleyad946d52014-12-15 17:52:22 +0000195 Use inotify for checking on updates to /etc/resolv.conf and
196 friends under Linux. This fixes race conditions when the files are
Simon Kelley04918052015-01-26 11:23:43 +0000197 updated rapidly and saves CPU by noy polling. To build
198 a binary that runs on old Linux kernels without inotify,
199 use make COPTS=-DNO_INOTIFY
Simon Kelley3ad3f3b2014-12-16 18:25:17 +0000200
201 Fix breakage of --domain=<domain>,<subnet>,local - only reverse
202 queries were intercepted. THis appears to have been broken
203 since 2.69. Thanks to Josh Stone for finding the bug.
Simon Kelley47669362014-12-17 12:41:56 +0000204
205 Eliminate IPv6 privacy addresses and deprecated addresses from
206 the answers given by --interface-name. Note that reverse queries
207 (ie looking for names, given addresses) are not affected.
208 Thanks to Michael Gorbach for the suggestion.
Simon Kelley094b5c32014-12-21 16:11:52 +0000209
210 Fix crash in DNSSEC code with long RRs. Thanks to Marco Davids
211 for the bug report.
Glen Huang32fc6db2014-12-27 15:28:12 +0000212
213 Add --ignore-address option. Ignore replies to A-record
214 queries which include the specified address. No error is
215 generated, dnsmasq simply continues to listen for another
216 reply. This is useful to defeat blocking strategies which
217 rely on quickly supplying a forged answer to a DNS
218 request for certain domains, before the correct answer can
219 arrive. Thanks to Glen Huang for the patch.
Simon Kelleyad946d52014-12-15 17:52:22 +0000220
Simon Kelley97e618a2015-01-07 21:55:43 +0000221 Revisit the part of DNSSEC validation which determines if an
222 unsigned answer is legit, or is in some part of the DNS
223 tree which should be signed. Dnsmasq now works from the
224 DNS root downward looking for the limit of signed
225 delegations, rather than working bottom up. This is
226 both more correct, and less likely to trip over broken
227 nameservers in the unsigned parts of the DNS tree
228 which don't respond well to DNSSEC queries.
Simon Kelley00cd9d52014-10-02 21:44:21 +0100229
Simon Kelley25cf5e32015-01-09 15:53:03 +0000230 Add --log-queries=extra option, which makes logs easier
231 to search automatically.
232
RinSatsuki28de3872015-01-10 15:22:21 +0000233 Add --min-cache-ttl option. I've resisted this for a long
234 time, on the grounds that disbelieving TTLs is never a
235 good idea, but I've been persuaded that there are
236 sometimes reasons to do it. (Step forward, GFW).
237 To avoid misuse, there's a hard limit on the TTL
238 floor of one hour. Thansk to RinSatsuki for the patch.
Simon Kelley39341552015-01-18 22:11:10 +0000239
240 Cope with multiple interfaces with the same link-local
241 address. (IPv6 addresses are scoped, so this is allowed.)
242 Thanks to Cory Benfield for help with this.
Simon Kelley5f4dc5c2015-01-20 20:51:02 +0000243
244 Add --dhcp-hostsdir. This allows addition of new host
245 configurations to a running dnsmasq instance much more
246 cheaply than having dnsmasq re-read all its existing
247 configuration each time.
RinSatsuki28de3872015-01-10 15:22:21 +0000248
Win King Wan61b838d2015-01-21 20:41:48 +0000249 Don't reply to DHCPv6 SOLICIT messages if we're not
250 configured to do stateful DHCPv6. Thanks to Win King Wan
251 for the patch.
252
Simon Kelley6ef15b32015-01-31 22:44:26 +0000253 Fix broken DNSSEC validation of ECDSA signatures.
Simon Kelleyf6e62e22015-03-01 18:17:54 +0000254
255 Add --dnssec-timestamp option, which provides an automatic
Simon Kelley38440b22015-04-12 21:52:47 +0100256 way to detect when the system time becomes valid after
257 boot on systems without an RTC, whilst allowing DNS
258 queries before the clock is valid so that NTP can run.
259 Thanks to Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for developing this idea.
Stefan Tomanek30d08792015-03-31 22:32:11 +0100260
261 Add --tftp-no-fail option. Thanks to Stefan Tomanek for
262 the patch.
Simon Kelley04b0ac02015-04-06 17:19:13 +0100263
Simon Kelley38440b22015-04-12 21:52:47 +0100264 Fix crash caused by looking up servers.bind, CHAOS text
265 record, when more than about five --servers= lines are
266 in the dnsmasq config. This causes memory corruption
267 which causes a crash later. Thanks to Matt Coddington for
268 sterling work chasing this down.
269
270 Fix crash on receipt of certain malformed DNS requests.
271 Thanks to Nick Sampanis for spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley0df29f52015-04-16 15:24:52 +0100272 Note that this is could allow the dnsmasq process's
273 memory to be read by an attacker under certain
274 circumstances, so it has a CVE, CVE-2015-3294
Simon Kelley38440b22015-04-12 21:52:47 +0100275
276 Fix crash in authoritative DNS code, if a .arpa zone
277 is declared as authoritative, and then a PTR query which
278 is not to be treated as authoritative arrived. Normally,
279 directly declaring .arpa zone as authoritative is not
280 done, so this crash wouldn't be seen. Instead the
281 relevant .arpa zone should be specified as a subnet
282 in the auth-zone declaration. Thanks to Johnny S. Lee
283 for the bugreport and initial patch.
Simon Kelley04b0ac02015-04-06 17:19:13 +0100284
Simon Kelley78c61842015-04-16 15:05:30 +0100285 Fix authoritative DNS code to correctly reply to NS
286 and SOA queries for .arpa zones for which we are
287 declared authoritative by means of a subnet in auth-zone.
288 Previously we provided correct answers to PTR queries
289 in such zones (including NS and SOA) but not direct
290 NS and SOA queries. Thanks to Johnny S. Lee for
Simon Kelleya5ae1f82015-04-25 21:46:10 +0100291 pointing out the problem.
292
293 Fix logging of DHCPREPLY which should be suppressed
294 by quiet-dhcp6. Thanks to J. Pablo Abonia for
295 spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley78c61842015-04-16 15:05:30 +0100296
Simon Kelleya77cec82015-05-08 16:25:38 +0100297 Try and handle net connections with broken fragmentation
298 that lose large UDP packets. If a server times out,
299 reduce the maximum UDP packet size field in the EDNS0
300 header to 1280 bytes. If it then answers, make that
301 change permanent.
302
Simon Kelleyb059c962015-05-08 20:25:51 +0100303 Check IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses when --stop-rebind
304 is active. Thanks to Jordan Milne for spotting this.
305
Simon Kelleyca85a282015-05-13 22:33:04 +0100306 Allow DHCPv4 options T1 and T2 to be set using --dhcp-option.
307 Thanks to Kevin Benton for patches and work on this.
308
Simon Kelley89130d92015-06-03 22:30:59 +0100309 Fix code for DHCPCONFIRM DHCPv6 messages to confirm addresses
310 in the correct subnet, even of not in dynamic address
311 allocation range. Thanks to Steve Hirsch for spotting
312 the problem.
Nicolas Cavallaric6d82c92015-06-09 20:42:20 +0100313
314 Add AddDhcpLease and DeleteDhcpLease DBus methods. Thanks
315 to Nicolas Cavallari for the patch.
Neil Jerram4918bd52015-06-10 22:23:20 +0100316
317 Allow configuration of router advertisements without the
318 "on-link" bit set. Thanks to Neil Jerram for the patch.
319
320 Extend --bridge-interface to DHCPv6 and router
321 advertisements. Thanks to Neil Jerram for the patch.

Simon Kelleyc4a09372014-06-02 20:30:07 +0100325 Add ra-advrouter mode, for RFC-3775 mobile IPv6 support.
326
327 Add support for "ipsets" in *BSD, using pf. Thanks to
328 Sven Falempim for the patch.
Simon Kelley8e9ffba2014-05-20 20:38:25 +0100329
Simon Kelleya0358e52014-06-07 13:38:48 +0100330 Fix race condition which could lock up dnsmasq when an
331 interface goes down and up rapidly. Thanks to Conrad
332 Kostecki for helping to chase this down.
Daniel Collinsc4638f92014-06-07 21:21:44 +0100333
334 Add DBus methods SetFilterWin2KOption and SetBogusPrivOption
335 Thanks to the Smoothwall project for the patch.
Simon Kelleycdb755c2014-06-18 20:52:53 +0100336
337 Fix failure to build against Nettle-3.0. Thanks to Steven
338 Barth for spotting this and finding the fix.
Simon Kelleya0358e52014-06-07 13:38:48 +0100339
Simon Kelley6d8e8ac2014-07-13 22:12:45 +0100340 When assigning existing DHCP leases to intefaces by comparing
341 networks, handle the case that two or more interfaces have the
342 same network part, but different prefix lengths (favour the
343 longer prefix length.) Thanks to Lung-Pin Chang for the
344 patch.
345
Simon Kelleyb5ea1cc2014-07-29 16:34:14 +0100346 Add a mode which detects and removes DNS forwarding loops, ie
347 a query sent to an upstream server returns as a new query to
348 dnsmasq, and would therefore be forwarded again, resulting in
349 a query which loops many times before being dropped. Upstream
350 servers which loop back are disabled and this event is logged.
351 Thanks to Smoothwall for their sponsorship of this feature.
352
Simon Kelley3e1551a2014-09-09 21:46:07 +0100353 Extend --conf-dir to allow filtering of files. So
354 --conf-dir=/etc/dnsmasq.d,\*.conf
355 will load all the files in /etc/dnsmasq.d which end in .conf
Ilya Ponetaev5bf50af2014-09-09 12:46:21 +0100356
Simon Kelley288df492014-09-18 21:48:51 +0100357 Fix bug when resulted in NXDOMAIN answers instead of NODATA in
358 some circumstances.
Simon Kelley57826492014-09-18 22:08:58 +0100359
360 Fix bug which caused dnsmasq to become unresponsive if it
361 failed to send packets due to a network interface disappearing.
362 Thanks to Niels Peen for spotting this.
Simon Kelleybf2db4b2014-09-18 22:10:46 +0100363
364 Fix problem with --local-service option on big-endian platforms
365 Thanks to Richard Genoud for the patch.

369 Subtle change to error handling to help DNSSEC validation
370 when servers fail to provide NODATA answers for
371 non-existent DS records.
372
373 Tweak code which removes DNSSEC records from answers when
374 not required. Fixes broken answers when additional section
375 has real records in it. Thanks to Marco Davids for the bug
376 report.
377
378 Fix DNSSEC validation of ANY queries. Thanks to Marco Davids
379 for spotting that too.

Simon Kelleyb692f232014-05-09 10:29:43 +0100381 Fix total DNS failure and 100% CPU use if cachesize set to zero,
382 regression introduced in 2.69. Thanks to James Hunt and
383 the Ubuntu crowd for assistance in fixing this.

Simon Kelley63758382014-04-16 22:20:55 +0100386version 2.70
387 Fix crash, introduced in 2.69, on TCP request when dnsmasq
388 compiled with DNSSEC support, but running without DNSSEC
389 enabled. Thanks to Manish Sing for spotting that one.
390
Simon Kelley3b1b3e92014-04-23 15:46:05 +0100391 Fix regression which broke ipset functionality. Thanks to

Simon Kelley1ee9be42013-12-09 16:50:19 +0000395version 2.69
396 Implement dynamic interface discovery on *BSD. This allows
397 the contructor: syntax to be used in dhcp-range for DHCPv6
398 on the BSD platform. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
399 valuable research on how to implement this.

Simon Kelley8db957d2013-12-17 15:47:10 +0000401 Fix infinite loop associated with some --bogus-nxdomain
Simon Kelley74e6b522013-12-17 21:33:53 +0000402 configs. Thanks fogobogo for the bug report.

Simon Kelleyae762422014-01-10 18:15:16 +0000404 Fix missing RA RDNS option with configuration like
405 --dhcp-option=option6:23,[::] Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer
406 for spotting the problem.
407
Simon Kelleyc3a04082014-01-11 22:18:19 +0000408 Add [fd00::] and [fe80::] as special addresses in DHCPv6
409 options, analogous to [::]. [fd00::] is replaced with the
410 actual ULA of the interface on the machine running
411 dnsmasq, [fe80::] with the link-local address.
412 Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer for championing this.
413
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000414 DNSSEC validation and caching. Dnsmasq needs to be
415 compiled with this enabled, with
416
417 make dnsmasq COPTS=-DHAVE_DNSSEC
418
419 this add dependencies on the nettle crypto library and the
420 gmp maths library. It's possible to have these linked
421 statically with
422
423 make dnsmasq COPTS='-DHAVE_DNSSEC -DHAVE_DNSSEC_STATIC'
424
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100425 which bloats the dnsmasq binary, but saves the size of
426 the shared libraries which are much bigger.
427
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000428 To enable, DNSSEC, you will need a set of
429 trust-anchors. Now that the TLDs are signed, this can be
430 the keys for the root zone, and for convenience they are
431 included in trust-anchors.conf in the dnsmasq
432 distribution. You should of course check that these are
433 legitimate and up-to-date. So, adding
434
435 conf-file=/path/to/trust-anchors.conf
436 dnssec
Simon Kelley1ee9be42013-12-09 16:50:19 +0000437
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000438 to your config is all thats needed to get things
439 working. The upstream nameservers have to be DNSSEC-capable
440 too, of course. Many ISP nameservers aren't, but the
441 Google public nameservers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) are.
442 When DNSSEC is configured, dnsmasq validates any queries
443 for domains which are signed. Query results which are
444 bogus are replaced with SERVFAIL replies, and results
445 which are correctly signed have the AD bit set. In
446 addition, and just as importantly, dnsmasq supplies
447 correct DNSSEC information to clients which are doing
448 their own validation, and caches DNSKEY, DS and RRSIG
449 records, which significantly improve the performance of
450 downstream validators. Setting --log-queries will show
451 DNSSEC in action.
452
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100453 If a domain is returned from an upstream nameserver without
454 DNSSEC signature, dnsmasq by default trusts this. This
455 means that for unsigned zone (still the majority) there
456 is effectively no cost for having DNSSEC enabled. Of course
457 this allows an attacker to replace a signed record with a
458 false unsigned record. This is addressed by the
459 --dnssec-check-unsigned flag, which instructs dnsmasq
460 to prove that an unsigned record is legitimate, by finding
461 a secure proof that the zone containing the record is not
462 signed. Doing this has costs (typically one or two extra
463 upstream queries). It also has a nasty failure mode if
464 dnsmasq's upstream nameservers are not DNSSEC capable.
465 Without --dnssec-check-unsigned using such an upstream
466 server will simply result in not queries being validated;
467 with --dnssec-check-unsigned enabled and a
468 DNSSEC-ignorant upstream server, _all_ queries will fail.
469
470 Note that DNSSEC requires that the local time is valid and
471 accurate, if not then DNSSEC validation will fail. NTP
472 should be running. This presents a problem for routers
473 without a battery-backed clock. To set the time needs NTP
474 to do DNS lookups, but lookups will fail until NTP has run.
475 To address this, there's a flag, --dnssec-no-timecheck
476 which disables the time checks (only) in DNSSEC. When dnsmasq
477 is started and the clock is not synced, this flag should
478 be used. As soon as the clock is synced, SIGHUP dnsmasq.
479 The SIGHUP clears the cache of partially-validated data and
480 resets the no-timecheck flag, so that all DNSSEC checks
481 henceforward will be complete.
482
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000483 The development of DNSSEC in dnsmasq was started by
484 Giovanni Bajo, to whom huge thanks are owed. It has been
485 supported by Comcast, whose techfund grant has allowed for
486 an invaluable period of full-time work to get it to
487 a workable state.
488
Simon Kelleyde73a492014-02-17 21:43:27 +0000489 Add --rev-server. Thanks to Dave Taht for suggesting this.
Simon Kelley7b1eae42014-02-20 13:43:28 +0000490
491 Add --servers-file. Allows dynamic update of upstream servers
492 full access to configuration.
Simon Kelleyde73a492014-02-17 21:43:27 +0000493
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000494 Add --local-service. Accept DNS queries only from hosts
495 whose address is on a local subnet, ie a subnet for which
496 an interface exists on the server. This option
Simon Kelleyf00690f2014-03-12 20:07:12 +0000497 only has effect if there are no --interface --except-interface,
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000498 --listen-address or --auth-server options. It is intended
499 to be set as a default on installation, to allow
500 unconfigured installations to be useful but also safe from
501 being used for DNS amplification attacks.
502
Simon Kelley604f7592014-03-22 19:33:43 +0000503 Fix crashes in cache_get_cname_target() when dangling CNAMEs
504 encountered. Thanks to Andy and the rt-n56u project for
505 find this and helping to chase it down.
506
Simon Kelley10068602014-04-03 21:16:40 +0100507 Fix wrong RCODE in authoritative DNS replies to PTR queries. The
508 correct answer was included, but the RCODE was set to NXDOMAIN.
509 Thanks to Craig McQueen for spotting this.
510
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100511 Make statistics available as DNS queries in the .bind TLD as

516 Use random addresses for DHCPv6 temporary address
517 allocations, instead of algorithmically determined stable
518 addresses.
519
520 Fix bug which meant that the DHCPv6 DUID was not available
521 in DHCP script runs during the lifetime of the dnsmasq
522 process which created the DUID de-novo. Once the DUID was
523 created and stored in the lease file and dnsmasq
524 restarted, this bug disappeared.
525
526 Fix bug introduced in 2.67 which could result in erroneous
527 NXDOMAIN returns to CNAME queries.
528
529 Fix build failures on MacOS X and openBSD.
530
531 Allow subnet specifications in --auth-zone to be interface
532 names as well as address literals. This makes it possible
533 to configure authoritative DNS when local address ranges
534 are dynamic and works much better than the previous
535 work-around which exempted contructed DHCP ranges from the
536 IP address filtering. As a consequence, that work-around
537 is removed. Under certain circumstances, this change wil
538 break existing configuration: if you're relying on the
539 contructed-range exception, you need to change --auth-zone
540 to specify the same interface as is used to construct your
541 DHCP ranges, probably with a trailing "/6" like this:
542 --auth-zone=example.com,eth0/6 to limit the addresses to
543 IPv6 addresses of eth0.
Simon Kelleydd9d9ce2013-11-15 11:24:00 +0000544
545 Fix problems when advertising deleted IPv6 prefixes. If
546 the prefix is deleted (rather than replaced), it doesn't
547 get advertised with zero preferred time. Thanks to Tsachi
548 for the bug report.
Simon Kelley25439062013-11-25 21:14:51 +0000549
550 Fix segfault with some locally configured CNAMEs. Thanks
551 to Andrew Childs for spotting the problem.

553 Fix memory leak on re-reading /etc/hosts and friends,
554 introduced in 2.67.
Simon Kelley2329bef2013-12-03 13:41:16 +0000555
556 Check the arrival interface of incoming DNS and TFTP
557 requests via IPv6, even in --bind-interfaces mode. This
558 isn't possible for IPv4 and can generate scary warnings,
559 but as it's always possible for IPv6 (the API always
560 exists) then we should do it always.
Vladislav Grishenko4c82efc2013-12-03 16:05:30 +0000561
562 Tweak the rules on prefix-lengths in --dhcp-range for
563 IPv6. The new rule is that the specified prefix length
564 must be larger than or equal to the prefix length of the
565 corresponding address on the local interface.

571 this and supplying the patch.
Simon Kelleyaa63a212013-04-22 15:01:52 +0100572
573 Repair regression in 2.64. That release stopped sending
574 lease-time information in the reply to DHCPINFORM
575 requests, on the correct grounds that it was a standards
576 violation. However, this broke the dnsmasq-specific
577 dhcp_lease_time utility. Now, DHCPINFORM returns
578 lease-time only if it's specifically requested
579 (maintaining standards) and the dhcp_lease_time utility
580 has been taught to ask for it (restoring functionality).

592 Handle IPv4 interface-address labels in Linux. These are
593 often used to emulate the old IP-alias addresses. Before,
594 using --interface=eth0 would service all the addresses of
595 eth0, including ones configured as aliases, which appear
596 in ifconfig as eth0:0. Now, only addresses with the label
597 eth0 are active. This is not backwards compatible: if you
598 want to continue to bind the aliases too, you need to add
599 eg. --interface=eth0:0 to the config.

Simon Kelleye2ba0df2013-05-31 17:04:25 +0100620 If wildcards are used in --interface, don't assume that
621 there will only ever be one available interface for DHCP

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

724 Add the ability to act as an authoritative DNS
725 server. Dnsmasq can now answer queries from the wider 'net
726 with local data, as long as the correct NS records are set
727 up. Only local data is provided, to avoid creating an open
728 DNS relay. Zone transfer is supported, to allow secondary
729 servers to be configured.
730
731 Add "constructed DHCP ranges" for DHCPv6. This is intended
732 for IPv6 routers which get prefixes dynamically via prefix
733 delegation. With suitable configuration, stateful DHCPv6
734 and RA can happen automatically as prefixes are delegated
735 and then deprecated, without having to re-write the
736 dnsmasq configuration file or restart the daemon. Thanks to
737 Steven Barth for extensive testing and development work on
738 this idea.

740 Fix crash on startup on Solaris 11. Regression probably
Simon Kelley22ce5502013-01-22 13:53:04 +0000741 introduced in 2.61. Thanks to Geoff Johnstone for the
742 patch.
743
744 Add code to make behaviour for TCP DNS requests that same
745 as for UDP requests, when a request arrives for an allowed
746 address, but via a banned interface. This change is only
747 active on Linux, since the relevant API is missing (AFAIK)
748 on other platforms. Many thanks to Tomas Hozza for
749 spotting the problem, and doing invaluable discovery of
750 the obscure and undocumented API required for the solution.
Simon Kelleya21e27b2013-02-17 16:41:35 +0000751
752 Don't send the default DHCP option advertising dnsmasq as
753 the local DNS server if dnsmasq is configured to not act
754 as DNS server, or it's configured to a non-standard port.
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000755
756 Add DNSMASQ_CIRCUIT_ID, DNSMASQ_SUBCRIBER_ID,
757 DNSMASQ_REMOTE_ID variables to the environment of the
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000758 lease-change script (and the corresponding Lua). These hold
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000759 information inserted into the DHCP request by a DHCP relay
760 agent. Thanks to Lakefield Communications for providing a
761 bounty for this addition.
762
Simon Kelley4038ae22013-02-19 16:47:07 +0000763 Fixed crash, introduced in 2.64, whilst handling DHCPv6
764 information-requests with some common configurations.
765 Thanks to Robert M. Albrecht for the bug report and
766 chasing the problem.
767
Jason A. Donenfeld13d86c72013-02-22 18:20:53 +0000768 Add --ipset option. Thanks to Jason A. Donenfeld for the
769 patch.
770
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +0000771 Don't erroneously reject some option names in --dhcp-match
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000772 options. Thanks to Benedikt Hochstrasser for the bug report.
Simon Kelley49333cb2013-03-15 20:30:51 +0000773
774 Allow a trailing '*' wildcard in all interface-name
775 configurations. Thanks to Christian Parpart for the patch.

Simon Kelley56a11422013-04-02 17:02:58 +0100777 Handle the situation where libc headers define
778 SO_REUSEPORT, but the kernel in use doesn't, to cope with
779 the introduction of this option to Linux. Thanks to Rich
780 Felker for the bug report.
781

785 reached. Regression occurred in 2.61. Thanks to Tsachi for
786 the bug report.

792 Fix regression which broke forwarding of queries sent via
793 TCP which are not for A and AAAA and which were directed to
794 non-default servers. Thanks to Niax for the bug report.
795
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +0000796 Fix failure to build with DHCP support excluded. Thanks to

799 Fix nasty regression in 2.64 which completely broke cacheing.
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +0000800
801
Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +0100802version 2.64
803 Handle DHCP FQDN options with all flag bits zero and
804 --dhcp-client-update set. Thanks to Bernd Krumbroeck for
805 spotting the problem.
806
Simon Kelley12d71ed2012-08-30 15:16:41 +0100807 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
808 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
809 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
810 generate a warning. Now that only happesn if there is not
811 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in
812 /etc/hosts with one of them assigned via DHCP.
813
Simon Kelley4d0f5b42012-09-05 23:29:30 +0100814 Fix broken vendor-option processing for BOOTP. Thanks to
815 Hans-Joachim Baader for the bug report.
816
Simon Kelleydfb23b32012-09-18 21:44:47 +0100817 Don't report spurious netlink errors, regression in

819
Simon Kelley2b127a12012-09-18 21:51:22 +0100820 Flag DHCP or DHCPv6 in starup logging. Thanks to
821 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.

Simon Kelley1d860412012-09-20 20:48:04 +0100832 Add --max-cache-ttl option. Thanks to Dennis Kaarsemaker
833 for the patch.
834
Simon Kelleye4807d82012-09-27 21:52:26 +0100835 Fix breakage of --host-record parsing, resulting in
836 infinte loop at startup. Regression in 2.63. Thanks to
837 Haim Gelfenbeyn for spotting this.
838
Simon Kelley20223102012-10-15 10:41:17 +0100839 Set SO_REUSEADDRESS and SO_V6ONLY options on the DHCPv6
840 socket, this allows multiple instances of dnsmasq on a
841 single machine, in the same way as for DHCPv4. Thanks to
842 Gene Czarcinski and Vladislav Grishenko for work on this.
843
Simon Kelleybe6cfb42012-10-16 20:38:31 +0100844 Fix DHCPv6 to do access control correctly when it's
845 configured with --listen-address. Thanks to
846 Gene Czarcinski for sorting this out.
847
Simon Kelley819ff4d2012-10-21 18:25:12 +0100848 Add a "wildcard" dhcp-range which works for any IPv6
849 subnet, --dhcp-range=::,static Useful for Stateless
850 DHCPv6. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
851
Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +0000852 Don't include lease-time in DHCPACK replies to DHCPINFORM
853 queries, since RFC-2131 says we shouldn't. Thanks to
854 Wouter Ibens for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley8e4b8792012-11-14 14:12:56 +0000855
856 Makefile tweak to do dependency checking on header files.
857 Thanks to Johan Peeters for the patch.
Simon Kelleyd89fb4e2012-12-01 21:21:13 +0000858
859 Check interface for outgoing unsolicited router
860 advertisements, rather than relying on interface address
861 configuration. Thanks to Gene Czarinski for the patch.
Simon Kelley29d28dd2012-12-03 14:05:59 +0000862
863 Handle better attempts to transmit on interfaces which are
864 still doing DAD, and specifically do not just transmit
865 without setting source address and interface, since this
866 can cause very puzzling effects when a router
867 advertisement goes astray. Thanks again to Gene Czarinski.
868
869 Get RA timers right when there is more than one
870 dhcp-range on a subnet.

875
Simon Kelley8b3ae2f2012-06-13 13:43:49 +0100876 Check that tftp-root directories are accessible before
877 start-up. Thanks to Daniel Veillard for the initial patch.
878
879 Allow more than one --tfp-root flag. The per-interface
880 stuff is pointless without that.
881
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100882 Add --bind-dynamic. A hybrid mode between the default and
883 --bind-interfaces which copes with dynamically created
884 interfaces.
Simon Kelley6b617c02012-06-29 21:15:42 +0100885
886 A couple of fixes to the build system for Android. Thanks
887 to Metin Kaya for the patches.
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100888
Simon Kelley8bc4cec2012-07-03 21:04:11 +0100889 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
890 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
891 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
892 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
893 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
894 superceded by other mechanisms.
895
Simon Kelleyc4a7f902012-07-12 20:52:12 +0100896 Fixed bug logging filenames when duplicate dhcp-host
897 addresses are found. Thanks to John Hanks for the patch.
898
Simon Kelley611ebc52012-07-16 16:23:46 +0100899 Fix regression in 2.61 which broke caching of CNAME
900 chains. Thanks to Atul Gupta for the bug report.
901
Simon Kelleyb2714462012-07-17 12:09:26 +0100902 Allow the target of a --cname flag to be another --cname.
Simon Kelley611ebc52012-07-16 16:23:46 +0100903
Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +0100904 Teach DHCPv6 about the RFC 4242 information-refresh-time
905 option, and add parsing if the minutes, hours and days
906 format for options. Thanks to Francois-Xavier Le Bail for
907 the suggestion.
908
909 Allow "w" (for week) as multiplier in lease times, as well
910 as seconds, minutes, hours and days. Álvaro Gámez Machado
911 spotted the ommission.
Simon Kelleyc4c04882012-08-06 20:09:15 +0100912

Simon Kelleyad094272012-08-10 17:10:54 +0100915 Allow a DBus service name to be given with --enable-dbus
916 which overrides the default,
917 uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq. Thanks to Mathieu
918 Trudel-Lapierre for the patch.
919
Simon Kelleyfd05f122012-08-12 17:48:50 +0100920 Set the "prefix on-link" bit in Router

928 source address. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
929
Simon Kelley919dd7c2012-05-12 15:23:09 +0100930 Fixed bug which caused missing periodic router
931 advertisements with some configurations. Thanks to
932 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
933
Simon Kelleyc64b7f62012-05-18 10:19:59 +0100934 Fixed bug which broke DHCPv6/RA with prefix lengths
935 which are not divisible by 8. Thanks to Andre Coetzee
936 for spotting this.
937
Simon Kelley18c63ef2012-05-21 14:34:15 +0100938 Fix non-response to router-solicitations when
939 router-advertisement configured, but DHCPv6 not
940 configured. Thanks to Marien Zwart for the patch.
941
Simon Kelley9f7f3b12012-05-28 21:39:57 +0100942 Add --dns-rr, to allow arbitrary DNS resource records.
943
Simon Kelley5ae34bf2012-06-04 21:14:03 +0100944 Fixed bug which broke RA scheduling when an interface had
945 two addresses in the same network. Thanks to Jim Bos for
946 his help nailing this.
947
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000948version 2.61
949 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use
950 getifaddrs. This is more portable, more straightforward,
951 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
952 addresses.
953
Simon Kelley01d1b8d2012-03-28 21:37:25 +0100954 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
955 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
956 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
957 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
958 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
959 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.
Simon Kelley7023e382012-03-09 12:05:49 +0000960
Simon Kelley8b372702012-03-09 17:45:10 +0000961 Add --dhcp-duid to allow DUID-EN uids to be used.
962
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000963 Explicity send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
964 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
965 source address, since at least one client in the wild gets
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100966 this wrong. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki for help tracking
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000967 this down.
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000968
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000969 Send a preference value of 255 in DHCPv6 replies when
970 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
971 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
972
973 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
974
Simon Kelleye759d422012-03-16 13:18:57 +0000975 Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the
976 suggestion.
977
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000978 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
979 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
980 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
981 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilties
982 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
983 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
984 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
985 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
986 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
987 Gadgil.
988
989 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
990 the above.
991
992 Set the environment variable DNSMASQ_LOG_DHCP when running
993 the script id --log-dhcp is in effect, so that script can
Simon Kelley52d4abf2012-03-21 21:39:48 +0000994 taylor their logging verbosity. Suggestion from Malte
995 Forkel.
996
997 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
998 work even if there is no interface carrying the
999 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
1000 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
1001 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
1002 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
1003 the idea and initial patch.

Simon Kelley7d2b5c92012-03-23 10:00:02 +00001005 Fix crash, introduced in 2.60, when a DHCPINFORM is
1006 received from a network which has no valid dhcp-range.
1007 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
1008
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +01001009 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
1010 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
1011 preffered lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
1012 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
1013 for existing connections, but new connections will use
1014 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
1015 renumbering at least possible.
1016
1017 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +01001018 aquisition to fail if more than one dhcp-range in use.

1060 which is not the primary address of an interface.
1061
1062 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
1063
1064 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
1065 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
1066 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
1067 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
1068 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
1069 implementation.
1070
1071 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
1072 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
1073 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
1074 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
1075 set them from the make command line.
1076
1077 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
1078 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.

1080 Set TOS on DHCP sockets, this improves things on busy
1081 wireless networks. Thanks to Dave Taht for the patch.

Simon Kelleya2761752012-01-18 16:07:21 +00001086 Improve start-up speed when reading large hosts files
1087 containing many distinct addresses.
1088
1089 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
1090 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
1091 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
1092 this.
1093
Simon Kelley9bbc8872012-02-09 21:33:09 +00001094 Fix shell-scripting bug in bld/pkg-wrapper. Thanks to
1095 Mark Mitchell for the patch.
1096
Simon Kelley751d6f42012-02-10 15:24:51 +00001097 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
1098 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
1099 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
1100 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
1101
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +00001102 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
1103 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
1104 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
1105 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
Simon Kelleye5ffdb92012-02-13 14:19:25 +00001106 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
Simon Kelleyb36ae192012-02-13 12:54:34 +00001107 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
1108
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +00001109 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
1110 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
1111 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
1112 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
1113 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
1114 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
1115 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
1116 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
1117 These will be added as the standards mature.
1118 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
1119 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
1120 testers who have got it this far.
Simon Kelley1adadf52012-02-13 22:15:58 +00001121
Simon Kelleyac8540c2012-02-26 20:57:31 +00001122 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
1123 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
1124 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
1125 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
1126 enabling with --enable-ra.
1127
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +00001128 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
1129 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive
1130 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
1131 Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.
Simon Kelley71ee7ee2012-03-03 18:06:49 +00001132
1133 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

1137
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +00001138version 2.59
1139 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
1140 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
1141 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
1142 report.
1143
1144 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
1145 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
1146 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
1147 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
1148 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
1149 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
1150 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
1151 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
1152 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +01001153
1154
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001155version 2.58
1156 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
1157 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
1158
1159 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
1160 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
1161 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
1162
1163 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
1164 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
1165 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
1166 server-deployment applications need this.
1167
1168 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
1169 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
1170 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
1171 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
1172 in chasing this one down.
1173
1174 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
1175 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
1176 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
1177 the problem.
1178
1179 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
1180 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
1181 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
1182 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
1183 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
1184 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
1185
1186 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
1187 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
1188 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
1189 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
1190 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
1191 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
1192 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
1193 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
1194
1195 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
1196 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
1197
1198 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
1199 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
1200 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
1201 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
1202
1203 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
1204 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
1205
1206 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
1207 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
1208 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
1209 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
1210 Agrawal for the patch.
1211
1212 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
1213 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
1214 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
1215 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
1216 per-network values. So
1217 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
1218 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
1219 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
1220 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
1221 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
1222 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
1223
1224 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
1225 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
1226 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
1227 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
1228 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
1229 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
1230 a comprehensive test-case.
1231
1232 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
1233 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
Simon Kelleyde604c12012-10-19 09:50:01 +01001234 length. Many thanks to Loic Pefferkorn for finding this.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001235
1236 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
1237 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
1238 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
1239 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to
1240 Michael Stapelberg for the suggestion.
1241
1242 Update Polish translation, thanks to Jan Psota.
1243
1244 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1245
1246
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +00001247version 2.57
1248 Add patches to allow build under Android.
1249
1250 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
1251 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
1252 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
1253 effectively empty on Android.
1254
1255 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
1256 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
1257 wildcard.
1258
1259 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
1260 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
1261 spotting this.
1262
1263 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
1264 IDN support continues to be included automatically
1265 when i18n is included.
1266 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
1267
1268 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
1269 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
1270 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.
1271
1272
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001273version 2.56
1274 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
1275 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
1276
1277 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
1278 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
1279 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
1280 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
1281
1282 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
1283 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
1284
1285 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
1286 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
1287 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
1288
1289 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
1290 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
1291 syslogd.
1292
1293 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
1294 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
1295 Petrin for the orignal patch.
1296
1297 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
1298 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
1299 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
1300
1301 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
1302 option, on the command line.
1303
1304 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
1305 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
1306
1307 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
1308 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
1309 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
1310 to John Hallam for the patch.
1311
1312 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
1313 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
1314 character chunks instead.
1315
1316 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
1317 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
1318 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
1319 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
1320
1321 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
1322 transfer has completed succesfully.
1323
1324 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
1325 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
1326 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
1327 which automatically creates
1328 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
1329 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
1330
1331 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
1332 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
1333
1334 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
1335 thanks for that.
1336
1337 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
1338 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
1339 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
1340 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
1341 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
1342 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
1343 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
1344 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
1345 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
1346
1347 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
1348 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
1349 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
1350 set.
1351
1352 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
1353 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
1354
1355 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
1356 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
1357 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
1358
1359 Edit
1360 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
1361 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
1362 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
1363
1364 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
1365 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
1366 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
1367 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
1368 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
1369 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
1370 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
1371 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
1372 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
1373 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
1374 So:
1375 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
1376 --server=/google.com/#
1377 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
1378 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
1379 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
1380 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
1381 William for pointing out the need for this.
1382
1383 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
1384 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
1385 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
1386
1387 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
1388 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
1389 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
1390 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.
1391
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +00001392 Fix cosmetic bug which produced strange output when

1414 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
1415 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
1416
1417 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
1418 generated by gcc 4.4.
1419
1420 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
1421 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
1422
1423 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
1424 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
1425 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
1426
1427 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
1428 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
1429 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
1430 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
1431 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
1432 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
1433 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
1434 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
1435 the documentation and new-style config files should be
1436 much less confusing.
1437
1438 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
1439 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
1440 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
1441
1442 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
1443
1444 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
1445
1446 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
1447 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
1448 finding this.
1449
1450 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
1451 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
1452 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
1453 from the client.
1454
1455 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
1456 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
1457 finding this.
1458
1459 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
1460 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
1461 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
1462 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
1463 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
1464 server-override option.
1465
1466 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
1467 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
1468 allows a single line of the form
1469 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
1470 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
1471 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
1472 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
1473 irrespective of the existance or lack of
1474 interface=<interface>
1475 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
1476 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
1477 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
1478 configuration.
1479
1480 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
1481
1482 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
1483 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
1484
1485 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
1486 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
1487 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
1488 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
1489
1490 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
1491 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
1492 file, not the process/descriptor.
1493
1494 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
1495 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
1496
1497 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
1498 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
1499 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
1500 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
1501 this and testing the fix.
1502
1503 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
1504 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
1505 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
1506
1507 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
1508 upstream servers: this allows something like
1509 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
1510 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
1511 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
1512 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
1513
1514 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
1515 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
1516 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
1517 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
1518 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
1519 work on this.
1520
1521 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
1522 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
1523 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
1524 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
1525 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
1526 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
1527 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
1528
1529 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
1530
1531 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
1532 than one server available for a domain, eg.
1533 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
1534 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
1535 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
1536 here.
1537
1538 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
1539
1540 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
1541 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1542
1543 Fix regression which caused configuration like
1544 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
1545 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
1546 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
1547 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
1548
1549 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
1550 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1551
1552 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
1553 is set.
1554
1555 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
1556 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.
1557
1558 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1559
1560 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1561
1562 Updated German translation. Thanks to Matthias Andree.
1563
1564 Added contrib/static-arp, thanks to Darren Hoo.
1565
1566 Fix corruption of the domain when a name from /etc/hosts
1567 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
1568 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
1569
1570 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1571
1572
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001573version 2.52
1574 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
1575 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
1576 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
1577 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
1578 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
1579 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
1580 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
1581 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
1582
1583 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
1584 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
1585 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
1586 necessary for some *WRT distros.
1587
1588 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
1589 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
1590 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
1591 when dnsmasq is first started.
1592
1593 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
1594 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
1595 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
1596 with certain clients.
1597
1598 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
1599 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
1600 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
1601
1602 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
1603 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
1604 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
1605 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
1606 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
1607 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
1608 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
1609 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
1610 numbers delimited by dots.
1611
1612 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
1613 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
1614
1615 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
1616 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
1617
1618 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
1619 contrib/Solaris10.
1620
1621 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
1622 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
1623 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
1624 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
1625 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
1626 addresses available in such an installation removes a
1627 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
1628
1629 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
1630 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
1631 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
1632 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
1633
1634 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
1635 the lease-change script in the environment variable
1636 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
1637
1638 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
1639 Options". The syntax looks like this:
1640 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
1641
1642 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
1643 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
1644 looks like this:
1645 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
1646
1647 Add some application specific code to assist in
1648 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
1649 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
1650
1651 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
1652 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
1653 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
1654 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
1655
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001656 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001657 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
1658
1659 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
1660 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
1661 this.
1662
1663 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
1664 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
1665 providing this.
1666
1667 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.
1668 Thanks to Oschtan for the bug report.
1669
1670 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1671
1672 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1673
1674 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1675
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001676 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
1677 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
1678 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
1679 finding and analysing the problem.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001680
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001681
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001682version 2.51
1683 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
1684 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
1685 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
1686 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
1687 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
1688 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
1689 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
1690 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
1691 suggestion.
1692
1693 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
1694 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
1695 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
1696 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
1697 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
1698 a DHCP relay, if used.
1699 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
1700
1701 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
1702 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
1703
1704 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
1705 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
1706 dhcp-option-force.
1707
1708 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
1709 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
1710 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
1711
1712 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
1713 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
1714 the patch.
1715
1716 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1717
1718 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
1719 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
1720
1721 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
1722 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
1723 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
1724 suggestion.
1725
1726 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
1727 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
1728 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
1729 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
1730 dhcp-optsfile.
1731
1732 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
1733 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
1734 is retried. This should improve performance when there
1735 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
1736 suggestion.
1737
1738 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
1739 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
1740 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
1741 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
1742 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
1743
1744 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
1745 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
1746 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
1747 fragmented packets.
1748
1749 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
1750 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
1751
1752 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001756 Fix security problem which allowed any host permitted to
Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +01001757 do TFTP to possibly compromise dnsmasq by remote buffer
1758 overflow when TFTP enabled. Thanks to Core Security
1759 Technologies and Iván Arce, Pablo Hernán Jorge, Alejandro
1760 Pablo Rodriguez, Martín Coco, Alberto Soliño Testa and
1761 Pablo Annetta. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36121
1762 and CVE: 2009-2957
1763
1764 Fix a problem which allowed a malicious TFTP client to
1765 crash dnsmasq. Thanks to Steve Grubb at Red Hat for
1766 spotting this. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36120 and
1767 CVE: 2009-2958

1769
Simon Kelley03a97b62009-06-10 20:55:49 +01001770version 2.49
1771 Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
1772 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
1773
1774 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
1775 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
1776 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
1777 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
1778
1779 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001782version 2.48
1783 Archived the extensive, backwards, changelog to
1784 CHANGELOG.archive. The current changelog now runs from
1785 version 2.43 and runs conventionally.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001786
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001787 Fixed bug which broke binding of servers to physical
1788 interfaces when interface names were longer than four
1789 characters. Thanks to MURASE Katsunori for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001790
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001791 Fixed netlink code to check that messages come from the
1792 correct source, and not another userspace process. Thanks
1793 to Steve Grubb for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001794
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001795 Maintainability drive: removed bug and missing feature
1796 workarounds for some old platforms. Solaris 9, OpenBSD
1797 older than 4.1, Glibc older than 2.2, Linux 2.2.x and
1798 DBus older than 1.1.x are no longer supported.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001799
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001800 Don't read included configuration files more than once:
1801 allows complex configuration structures without problems.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001802
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001803 Mark log messages from the various subsystems in dnsmasq:
1804 messages from the DHCP subsystem now have the ident string
1805 "dnsmasq-dhcp" and messages from TFTP have ident
1806 "dnsmasq-tftp". Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001807
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001808 Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
1809 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
1810 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001811
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001812 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
1813 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
1814 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001815
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001816 Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001817
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001818 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
1819 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
1820 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
1821 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
1822 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
1823 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
1824 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
1825 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
1826 and Michael Brown for assistance.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001827
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001828 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
1829 useful suggestions.
1830
1831 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
1832 this, edit src/config.h or build with
1833 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
1834
1835 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
1836 configuration files only.
Simon Kelley33820b72004-04-03 21:10:00 +01001837
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001838 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

1841version 2.47
1842 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1843
1844 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
1845 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
1846
1847 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
1848 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
1849 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overriden in CFLAGS.
1850
1851 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1852 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1853 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1854 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1855 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1856 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1857 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1858 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1859 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1860 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1861 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1862 Krafft for the bug report.
1863
1864 Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.
1865
1866 Update Dbus configuration file. Patch from Colin Walters.
1867 Fix for this bug:
1868 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18961
1869
1870 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
1871 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
1872 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
1873 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
1874
1875 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
1876 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
1877
1878 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
1879
1880 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
1881 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
1882 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
1883 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
1884 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
1885
1886 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
1887 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
1888
1889 No longer complain about blank lines in
1890 /etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
1891
1892 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
1893 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
1894 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
1895 for the bug report.
1896
1897 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
1898 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
1899 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
1900 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
1901
1902 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
1903 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
1904 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
1905 as before.
1906 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
1907 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
1908 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
1909
1910 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
1911 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
1912 Windows even when using supernetting.
1913 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1914 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1915 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1916 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
1917
1918 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1919
1920 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1921 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1922 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1923 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1924 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1925 directory owned and write-able by the user running
1926 dnsmasq.

1929version 2.46
1930 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
1931 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
1932 suggestion.
1933
1934 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
1935 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
1936 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
1937 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
1938 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
1939
1940 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
1941 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
1942 based in their IP address.
1943
1944 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1945 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1946 a domain associated with each client, and only
1947 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1948 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
1949 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
1950 long as they are in different domains.
1951
1952 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
1953 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
1954 have now that it's variable.
1955
1956 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
1957 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
1958 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
1959 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
1960 potential.
1961
1962 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
1963 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
1964 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
1965
1966 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
1967 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
1968
1969 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
1970 which the DHCP request was received.
1971
1972 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
1973 Laine for the patch.
1974
1975 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
1976 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
1977
1978 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1979 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1980 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1981 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1982 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1983 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1984 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1985 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1986 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1987 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1988 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
1989
1990 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
1991 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
1992 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
1993 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
1994 improvement.
1995
1996 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
1997 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
1998 suggestions on this.
1999
2000 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
2001 Fisher.
2002
2003 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
2004
2005 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
2006 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
2007
2008 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
2009
2010 Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
2011 up" event occurs.
2012
2013
2014version 2.45
2015 Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
2016 specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
2017 bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
2018 break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
2019
2020
2021version 2.44
2022 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
2023 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
2024 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
2025
2026 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
2027 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
2028 never been reported in the wild.
2029
2030 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
2031 Jean Wolter for finding this.
2032
2033 Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
2034 is large.
2035
2036 Patch to enable compilation of latest Mac OS X. Thanks to
2037 David Gilman.
2038
2039 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Christopher Chatham.
2040
2041
2042version 2.43
2043 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
2044
2045 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
2046 illegally.
2047
2048 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
2049
2050 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
2051 format.
2052
2053 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
2054 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
2055 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
2056 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
2057 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
2058
2059 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
2060 Rack for the bug report.
2061
2062 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
2063 Bergquist.
2064
2065 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
2066 option.
2067
2068 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
2069 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
2070
2071 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
2072 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
2073
2074 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
2075 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
2076 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
2077 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
2078 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
2079 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
2080 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
2081 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
2082 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
2083 suggestions.
2084
2085 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
2086 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
2087 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
2088
2089 Implement random source ports for interactions with
2090 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
2091 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
2092 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
2093 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
2094 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
2095 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
2096 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
2097 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
2098 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
2099
2100 Replace the random number generator, for better
2101 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
2102 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
2103 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
2104 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
2105 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
2106 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
2107
2108 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
2109 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
2110 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
2111 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
2112 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
2113
2114 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
