Simon Kelley903df072017-01-19 17:22:00 +00002 Generate an error when configured with a CNAME loop,
Simon Kelley0740e432017-01-26 18:02:54 +00003 rather than a crash. Thanks to George Metz for
Simon Kelley903df072017-01-19 17:22:00 +00004 spotting this problem.

Simon Kelley294d36d2016-07-06 21:30:25 +01006 Calculate the length of TFTP error reply packet
7 correctly. This fixes a problem when the error
8 message in a TFTP packet exceeds the arbitrary
9 limit of 500 characters. The message was correctly
10 truncated, but not the packet length, so
11 extra data was appended. This is a possible
12 security risk, since the extra data comes from
13 a buffer which is also used for DNS, so that
14 previous DNS queries or replies may be leaked.
15 Thanks to Mozilla for funding the security audit
16 which spotted this bug.
17
Ivan Kokshaysky1d076672016-07-11 18:36:05 +010018 Fix logic error in Linux netlink code. This could
19 cause dnsmasq to enter a tight loop on systems
20 with a very large number of network interfaces.
21 Thanks to Ivan Kokshaysky for the diagnosis and
22 patch.
23
Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant06093a92016-07-11 21:03:27 +010024 Fix problem with --dnssec-timestamp whereby receipt
25 of SIGHUP would erroneously engage timestamp checking.
26 Thanks to Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for this work.
Simon Kelleyc8328ec2016-08-05 16:54:58 +010027
28 Bump zone serial on reloading /etc/hosts and friends
29 when providing authoritative DNS. Thanks to Harrald
30 Dunkel for spotting this.
Simon Kelley6d950992016-08-11 23:38:54 +010031
32 Handle v4-mapped IPv6 addresses sanely in --synth-domain.
33 These have standard representation like ::ffff:1.2.3.4
34 and are now converted to names like
35 <prefix>--ffff-1-2-3-4.<domain>
36
Beniamino Galvani2675f202016-08-28 20:44:05 +010037 Handle binding upstream servers to an interface
38 (--server=1.2.3.4@eth0) when the named interface
39 is destroyed and recreated in the kernel. Thanks to
40 Beniamino Galvani for the patch.
41
Simon Kelleyb637d782016-12-13 16:44:11 +000042 Allow wildcard CNAME records in authoritative zones.
43 For example --cname=*.example.com,default.example.com
44 Thanks to Pro Backup for sponsoring this development.
45
Simon Kelley09b768e2016-12-22 22:16:58 +000046 Bump the allowed backlog of TCP connections from 5 to 32,
47 and make this a compile-time configurable option. Thanks
48 to Donatas Abraitis for diagnosing this as a potential
49 problem.
50
ZHAO Yuf89cae32016-12-22 22:32:31 +000051 Add DNSMASQ_REQUESTED_OPTIONS environment variable to the
52 lease-change script. Thanks to ZHAO Yu for the patch.
Simon Kelley294d36d2016-07-06 21:30:25 +010053
Simon Kelley0740e432017-01-26 18:02:54 +000054 Fix foobar in rrfilter code, that could cause misformed
55 replies, especially when DNSSEC validation on, and
56 the upstream server returns answer with the RRs in a
57 particular order. The only DNS server known to tickle
58 this is Nominum's. Thanks to Dave Täht for spotting the
59 bug and assisting in the fix.
60
Simon Kelleyd42d4702017-02-02 16:52:06 +000061 Fix the manpage which lied that only the primary address
62 of an interface is used by --interface-name.
63
64 Make --localise-queries apply to names from --interface-name.
65 Thanks to Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant and Eric Luehrsen
66 for pushing this.

ZHAO Yuf89cae32016-12-22 22:32:31 +000068
Simon Kelleyd2aa7df2015-08-03 21:52:12 +010069version 2.76
70 Include 0.0.0.0/8 in DNS rebind checks. This range
71 translates to hosts on the local network, or, at
72 least, 0.0.0.0 accesses the local host, so could
73 be targets for DNS rebinding. See RFC 5735 section 3
74 for details. Thanks to Stephen Röttger for the bug report.
Ed Bardsleya7369be2015-08-05 21:17:18 +010075
76 Enhance --add-subnet to allow arbitrary subnet addresses.
77 Thanks to Ed Barsley for the patch.
Simon Kelley77607cb2015-09-10 23:08:43 +010078
79 Respect the --no-resolv flag in inotify code. Fixes bug
80 which caused dnsmasq to fail to start if a resolv-file
81 was a dangling symbolic link, even of --no-resolv set.
82 Thanks to Alexander Kurtz for spotting the problem.
83
Edwin Török41a8d9e2015-11-14 17:45:48 +000084 Fix crash when an A or AAAA record is defined locally,
85 in a hosts file, and an upstream server sends a reply
86 that the same name is empty. Thanks to Edwin Török for
87 the patch.
88
André Glüpkereddf3652016-01-12 12:54:17 +000089 Fix failure to correctly calculate cache-size when
90 reading a hosts-file fails. Thanks to André Glüpker
91 for the patch.
92
Simon Kelleyd05dd582016-01-19 21:23:30 +000093 Fix wrong answer to simple name query when --domain-needed
94 set, but no upstream servers configured. Dnsmasq returned
95 REFUSED, in this case, when it should be the same as when
96 upstream servers are configured - NOERROR. Thanks to
97 Allain Legacy for spotting the problem.
98
99 Return REFUSED when running out of forwarding table slots,
100 not SERVFAIL.
101
Hans Dedecker926332a2016-01-23 10:48:12 +0000102 Add --max-port configuration. Thanks to Hans Dedecker for
103 the patch.
Simon Kelley1e505122016-01-25 21:29:23 +0000104
105 Add --script-arp and two new functions for the dhcp-script.
106 These are "arp" and "arp-old" which announce the arrival and
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000107 removal of entries in the ARP or neighbour tables.
Simon Kelley1e505122016-01-25 21:29:23 +0000108
109 Extend --add-mac to allow a new encoding of the MAC address
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000110 as base64, by configuring --add-mac=base64
Simon Kelleyfdc97e12016-02-13 17:47:17 +0000111
Simon Kelley1e505122016-01-25 21:29:23 +0000112 Add --add-cpe-id option.
113
Simon Kelleyfdc97e12016-02-13 17:47:17 +0000114 Don't crash with divide-by-zero if an IPv6 dhcp-range
115 is declared as a whole /64.
116 (ie xx::0 to xx::ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff)
117 Thanks to Laurent Bendel for spotting this problem.
118
Simon Kelleye06e6e32016-02-24 21:26:16 +0000119 Add support for a TTL parameter in --host-record and
120 --cname.
121
122 Add --dhcp-ttl option.
Simon Kelleyfdc97e12016-02-13 17:47:17 +0000123
Simon Kelleybec366b2016-02-24 22:03:26 +0000124 Add --tftp-mtu option. Thanks to Patrick McLean for the
125 initial patch.
126
Simon Kelleya2bc2542016-04-21 22:34:22 +0100127 Check return-code of inet_pton() when parsing dhcp-option.
128 Bad addresses could fail to generate errors and result in
129 garbage dhcp-options being sent. Thanks to Marc Branchaud
130 for spotting this.
131
Simon Kelley14ffa072016-04-25 16:36:44 +0100132 Fix wrong value for EDNS UDP packet size when using
133 --servers-file to define upstream DNS servers. Thanks to
134 Scott Bonar for the bug report.
135
Simon Kelley69cbf782016-05-03 21:33:38 +0100136 Move the dhcp_release and dhcp_lease_time tools from
137 contrib/wrt to contrib/lease-tools.
138
139 Add dhcp_release6 to contrib/lease-tools. Many thanks
140 to Sergey Nechaev for this code.
141
Simon Kelleyb9702602016-05-03 22:34:06 +0100142 To avoid filling logs in configurations which define
143 many upstream nameservers, don't log more that 30 servers.
144 The number to be logged can be changed as SERVERS_LOGGED
Simon Kelley68bea102016-05-11 22:15:06 +0100145 in src/config.h.
146
147 Swap the values if BC_EFI and x86-64_EFI in --pxe-service.
148 These were previously wrong due to an error in RFC 4578.
149 If you're using BC_EFI to boot 64-bit EFI machines, you
150 will need to update your config.
151
152 Add ARM32_EFI and ARM64_EFI as valid architectures in
153 --pxe-service.
Simon Kelleyb9702602016-05-03 22:34:06 +0100154
Simon Kelley0a4a0492016-05-15 20:13:45 +0100155 Fix PXE booting for UEFI architectures. Modify PXE boot
156 sequence in this case to force the client to talk to dnsmasq
157 over port 4011. This makes PXE and especially proxy-DHCP PXE
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000158 work with these architectures.
Simon Kelley0a4a0492016-05-15 20:13:45 +0100159
160 Workaround problems with UEFI PXE clients. There exist
161 in the wild PXE clients which have problems with PXE
162 boot menus. To work around this, when there's a single
163 --pxe-service which applies to client, then that target
164 will be booted directly, rather then sending a
165 single-item boot menu.
166
167 Many thanks to Jarek Polok, Michael Kuron and Dreamcat4
168 for their work on the long-standing UEFI PXE problem.
169
Simon Kelleyda2cad42016-05-18 15:14:08 +0100170 Subtle change in the semantics of "basename" in
171 --pxe-service. The historical behaviour has always been
172 that the actual filename downloaded from the TFTP server
173 is <basename>.<layer> where <layer> is an integer which
174 corresponds to the layer parameter supplied by the client.
175 It's not clear what the function of the "layer"
176 actually is in the PXE protocol, and in practise layer
177 is always zero, so the filename is <basename>.0
178 The new behaviour is the same as the old, except when
179 <basename> includes a file suffix, in which case
180 the layer suffix is no longer added. This allows
181 sensible suffices to be used, rather then the
182 meaningless ".0". Only in the unlikely event that you
183 have a config with a basename which already has a
184 suffix, is this an incompatible change, since the file
185 downloaded will change from name.suffix.0 to just
186 name.suffix
187

Simon Kelley63ec5d12015-07-30 20:59:07 +0100189version 2.75
190 Fix reversion on 2.74 which caused 100% CPU use when a
191 dhcp-script is configured. Thanks to Adrian Davey for
192 reporting the bug and testing the fix.
193
194
Simon Kelley90cb2222015-07-05 21:59:10 +0100195version 2.74
196 Fix reversion in 2.73 where --conf-file would attempt to
197 read the default file, rather than no file.
198
Simon Kelley362c9302015-07-06 21:48:49 +0100199 Fix inotify code to handle dangling symlinks better and
200 not SEGV in some circumstances.
201
Simon Kelley13480e82015-07-16 22:23:13 +0100202 DNSSEC fix. In the case of a signed CNAME generated by a
203 wildcard which pointed to an unsigned domain, the wrong
204 status would be logged, and some necessary checks omitted.
205
Simon Kelley362c9302015-07-06 21:48:49 +0100206
Simon Kelley00cd9d52014-10-02 21:44:21 +0100207version 2.73
208 Fix crash at startup when an empty suffix is supplied to
209 --conf-dir, also trivial memory leak. Thanks to
210 Tomas Hozza for spotting this.
Simon Kelley800c5cc2014-12-15 17:50:15 +0000211
212 Remove floor of 4096 on advertised EDNS0 packet size when
213 DNSSEC in use, the original rationale for this has long gone.
214 Thanks to Anders Kaseorg for spotting this.
215
Simon Kelleyad946d52014-12-15 17:52:22 +0000216 Use inotify for checking on updates to /etc/resolv.conf and
217 friends under Linux. This fixes race conditions when the files are
Simon Kelley04918052015-01-26 11:23:43 +0000218 updated rapidly and saves CPU by noy polling. To build
219 a binary that runs on old Linux kernels without inotify,
220 use make COPTS=-DNO_INOTIFY
Simon Kelley3ad3f3b2014-12-16 18:25:17 +0000221
222 Fix breakage of --domain=<domain>,<subnet>,local - only reverse
223 queries were intercepted. THis appears to have been broken
224 since 2.69. Thanks to Josh Stone for finding the bug.
Simon Kelley47669362014-12-17 12:41:56 +0000225
226 Eliminate IPv6 privacy addresses and deprecated addresses from
227 the answers given by --interface-name. Note that reverse queries
228 (ie looking for names, given addresses) are not affected.
229 Thanks to Michael Gorbach for the suggestion.
Simon Kelley094b5c32014-12-21 16:11:52 +0000230
231 Fix crash in DNSSEC code with long RRs. Thanks to Marco Davids
232 for the bug report.
Glen Huang32fc6db2014-12-27 15:28:12 +0000233
234 Add --ignore-address option. Ignore replies to A-record
235 queries which include the specified address. No error is
236 generated, dnsmasq simply continues to listen for another
237 reply. This is useful to defeat blocking strategies which
238 rely on quickly supplying a forged answer to a DNS
239 request for certain domains, before the correct answer can
240 arrive. Thanks to Glen Huang for the patch.
Simon Kelleyad946d52014-12-15 17:52:22 +0000241
Simon Kelley97e618a2015-01-07 21:55:43 +0000242 Revisit the part of DNSSEC validation which determines if an
243 unsigned answer is legit, or is in some part of the DNS
244 tree which should be signed. Dnsmasq now works from the
245 DNS root downward looking for the limit of signed
246 delegations, rather than working bottom up. This is
247 both more correct, and less likely to trip over broken
248 nameservers in the unsigned parts of the DNS tree
249 which don't respond well to DNSSEC queries.
Simon Kelley00cd9d52014-10-02 21:44:21 +0100250
Simon Kelley25cf5e32015-01-09 15:53:03 +0000251 Add --log-queries=extra option, which makes logs easier
252 to search automatically.
253
RinSatsuki28de3872015-01-10 15:22:21 +0000254 Add --min-cache-ttl option. I've resisted this for a long
255 time, on the grounds that disbelieving TTLs is never a
256 good idea, but I've been persuaded that there are
257 sometimes reasons to do it. (Step forward, GFW).
258 To avoid misuse, there's a hard limit on the TTL
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000259 floor of one hour. Thanks to RinSatsuki for the patch.
Simon Kelley39341552015-01-18 22:11:10 +0000260
261 Cope with multiple interfaces with the same link-local
262 address. (IPv6 addresses are scoped, so this is allowed.)
263 Thanks to Cory Benfield for help with this.
Simon Kelley5f4dc5c2015-01-20 20:51:02 +0000264
265 Add --dhcp-hostsdir. This allows addition of new host
266 configurations to a running dnsmasq instance much more
267 cheaply than having dnsmasq re-read all its existing
268 configuration each time.
RinSatsuki28de3872015-01-10 15:22:21 +0000269
Win King Wan61b838d2015-01-21 20:41:48 +0000270 Don't reply to DHCPv6 SOLICIT messages if we're not
271 configured to do stateful DHCPv6. Thanks to Win King Wan
272 for the patch.
273
Simon Kelley6ef15b32015-01-31 22:44:26 +0000274 Fix broken DNSSEC validation of ECDSA signatures.
Simon Kelleyf6e62e22015-03-01 18:17:54 +0000275
276 Add --dnssec-timestamp option, which provides an automatic
Simon Kelley38440b22015-04-12 21:52:47 +0100277 way to detect when the system time becomes valid after
278 boot on systems without an RTC, whilst allowing DNS
279 queries before the clock is valid so that NTP can run.
280 Thanks to Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for developing this idea.
Stefan Tomanek30d08792015-03-31 22:32:11 +0100281
282 Add --tftp-no-fail option. Thanks to Stefan Tomanek for
283 the patch.
Simon Kelley04b0ac02015-04-06 17:19:13 +0100284
Simon Kelley38440b22015-04-12 21:52:47 +0100285 Fix crash caused by looking up servers.bind, CHAOS text
286 record, when more than about five --servers= lines are
287 in the dnsmasq config. This causes memory corruption
288 which causes a crash later. Thanks to Matt Coddington for
289 sterling work chasing this down.
290
291 Fix crash on receipt of certain malformed DNS requests.
292 Thanks to Nick Sampanis for spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley0df29f52015-04-16 15:24:52 +0100293 Note that this is could allow the dnsmasq process's
294 memory to be read by an attacker under certain
295 circumstances, so it has a CVE, CVE-2015-3294
Simon Kelley38440b22015-04-12 21:52:47 +0100296
297 Fix crash in authoritative DNS code, if a .arpa zone
298 is declared as authoritative, and then a PTR query which
299 is not to be treated as authoritative arrived. Normally,
300 directly declaring .arpa zone as authoritative is not
301 done, so this crash wouldn't be seen. Instead the
302 relevant .arpa zone should be specified as a subnet
303 in the auth-zone declaration. Thanks to Johnny S. Lee
304 for the bugreport and initial patch.
Simon Kelley04b0ac02015-04-06 17:19:13 +0100305
Simon Kelley78c61842015-04-16 15:05:30 +0100306 Fix authoritative DNS code to correctly reply to NS
307 and SOA queries for .arpa zones for which we are
308 declared authoritative by means of a subnet in auth-zone.
309 Previously we provided correct answers to PTR queries
310 in such zones (including NS and SOA) but not direct
311 NS and SOA queries. Thanks to Johnny S. Lee for
Simon Kelleya5ae1f82015-04-25 21:46:10 +0100312 pointing out the problem.
313
314 Fix logging of DHCPREPLY which should be suppressed
315 by quiet-dhcp6. Thanks to J. Pablo Abonia for
316 spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley78c61842015-04-16 15:05:30 +0100317
Simon Kelleya77cec82015-05-08 16:25:38 +0100318 Try and handle net connections with broken fragmentation
319 that lose large UDP packets. If a server times out,
320 reduce the maximum UDP packet size field in the EDNS0
321 header to 1280 bytes. If it then answers, make that
322 change permanent.
323
Simon Kelleyb059c962015-05-08 20:25:51 +0100324 Check IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses when --stop-rebind

326
Simon Kelleyca85a282015-05-13 22:33:04 +0100327 Allow DHCPv4 options T1 and T2 to be set using --dhcp-option.
328 Thanks to Kevin Benton for patches and work on this.
329
Simon Kelley89130d92015-06-03 22:30:59 +0100330 Fix code for DHCPCONFIRM DHCPv6 messages to confirm addresses
331 in the correct subnet, even of not in dynamic address
332 allocation range. Thanks to Steve Hirsch for spotting
333 the problem.
Nicolas Cavallaric6d82c92015-06-09 20:42:20 +0100334
335 Add AddDhcpLease and DeleteDhcpLease DBus methods. Thanks

Simon Kelleya0358e52014-06-07 13:38:48 +0100351 Fix race condition which could lock up dnsmasq when an
352 interface goes down and up rapidly. Thanks to Conrad
353 Kostecki for helping to chase this down.
Daniel Collinsc4638f92014-06-07 21:21:44 +0100354
355 Add DBus methods SetFilterWin2KOption and SetBogusPrivOption

Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000361 When assigning existing DHCP leases to interfaces by comparing
Simon Kelley6d8e8ac2014-07-13 22:12:45 +0100362 networks, handle the case that two or more interfaces have the
363 same network part, but different prefix lengths (favour the
364 longer prefix length.) Thanks to Lung-Pin Chang for the
365 patch.
366
Simon Kelleyb5ea1cc2014-07-29 16:34:14 +0100367 Add a mode which detects and removes DNS forwarding loops, ie
368 a query sent to an upstream server returns as a new query to
369 dnsmasq, and would therefore be forwarded again, resulting in
370 a query which loops many times before being dropped. Upstream
371 servers which loop back are disabled and this event is logged.
372 Thanks to Smoothwall for their sponsorship of this feature.
373
Simon Kelley3e1551a2014-09-09 21:46:07 +0100374 Extend --conf-dir to allow filtering of files. So
375 --conf-dir=/etc/dnsmasq.d,\*.conf
376 will load all the files in /etc/dnsmasq.d which end in .conf

Simon Kelley288df492014-09-18 21:48:51 +0100378 Fix bug when resulted in NXDOMAIN answers instead of NODATA in
379 some circumstances.
Simon Kelley57826492014-09-18 22:08:58 +0100380
381 Fix bug which caused dnsmasq to become unresponsive if it
382 failed to send packets due to a network interface disappearing.
383 Thanks to Niels Peen for spotting this.
Simon Kelleybf2db4b2014-09-18 22:10:46 +0100384

Simon Kelley9d1b22a2014-04-29 13:02:41 +0100389version 2.71
390 Subtle change to error handling to help DNSSEC validation
391 when servers fail to provide NODATA answers for
392 non-existent DS records.
393
394 Tweak code which removes DNSSEC records from answers when
395 not required. Fixes broken answers when additional section
396 has real records in it. Thanks to Marco Davids for the bug
397 report.
398
399 Fix DNSSEC validation of ANY queries. Thanks to Marco Davids
400 for spotting that too.
401
Simon Kelleyb692f232014-05-09 10:29:43 +0100402 Fix total DNS failure and 100% CPU use if cachesize set to zero,
403 regression introduced in 2.69. Thanks to James Hunt and
404 the Ubuntu crowd for assistance in fixing this.

408 Fix crash, introduced in 2.69, on TCP request when dnsmasq
409 compiled with DNSSEC support, but running without DNSSEC
410 enabled. Thanks to Manish Sing for spotting that one.
411
Simon Kelley3b1b3e92014-04-23 15:46:05 +0100412 Fix regression which broke ipset functionality. Thanks to

Simon Kelley1ee9be42013-12-09 16:50:19 +0000416version 2.69
417 Implement dynamic interface discovery on *BSD. This allows
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000418 the constructor: syntax to be used in dhcp-range for DHCPv6
Simon Kelley1ee9be42013-12-09 16:50:19 +0000419 on the BSD platform. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
420 valuable research on how to implement this.
421
Simon Kelley8db957d2013-12-17 15:47:10 +0000422 Fix infinite loop associated with some --bogus-nxdomain
Simon Kelley74e6b522013-12-17 21:33:53 +0000423 configs. Thanks fogobogo for the bug report.
Simon Kelley8db957d2013-12-17 15:47:10 +0000424
Simon Kelleyae762422014-01-10 18:15:16 +0000425 Fix missing RA RDNS option with configuration like
426 --dhcp-option=option6:23,[::] Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer
427 for spotting the problem.
428
Simon Kelleyc3a04082014-01-11 22:18:19 +0000429 Add [fd00::] and [fe80::] as special addresses in DHCPv6
430 options, analogous to [::]. [fd00::] is replaced with the
431 actual ULA of the interface on the machine running
432 dnsmasq, [fe80::] with the link-local address.
433 Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer for championing this.
434
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000435 DNSSEC validation and caching. Dnsmasq needs to be
436 compiled with this enabled, with
437
438 make dnsmasq COPTS=-DHAVE_DNSSEC
439
440 this add dependencies on the nettle crypto library and the
441 gmp maths library. It's possible to have these linked
442 statically with
443
444 make dnsmasq COPTS='-DHAVE_DNSSEC -DHAVE_DNSSEC_STATIC'
445
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100446 which bloats the dnsmasq binary, but saves the size of
447 the shared libraries which are much bigger.
448
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000449 To enable, DNSSEC, you will need a set of
450 trust-anchors. Now that the TLDs are signed, this can be
451 the keys for the root zone, and for convenience they are
452 included in trust-anchors.conf in the dnsmasq
453 distribution. You should of course check that these are
454 legitimate and up-to-date. So, adding
455
456 conf-file=/path/to/trust-anchors.conf
457 dnssec
Simon Kelley1ee9be42013-12-09 16:50:19 +0000458
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000459 to your config is all thats needed to get things
460 working. The upstream nameservers have to be DNSSEC-capable
461 too, of course. Many ISP nameservers aren't, but the
462 Google public nameservers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) are.
463 When DNSSEC is configured, dnsmasq validates any queries
464 for domains which are signed. Query results which are
465 bogus are replaced with SERVFAIL replies, and results
466 which are correctly signed have the AD bit set. In
467 addition, and just as importantly, dnsmasq supplies
468 correct DNSSEC information to clients which are doing
469 their own validation, and caches DNSKEY, DS and RRSIG
470 records, which significantly improve the performance of
471 downstream validators. Setting --log-queries will show
472 DNSSEC in action.
473
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100474 If a domain is returned from an upstream nameserver without
475 DNSSEC signature, dnsmasq by default trusts this. This
476 means that for unsigned zone (still the majority) there
477 is effectively no cost for having DNSSEC enabled. Of course
478 this allows an attacker to replace a signed record with a
479 false unsigned record. This is addressed by the
480 --dnssec-check-unsigned flag, which instructs dnsmasq
481 to prove that an unsigned record is legitimate, by finding
482 a secure proof that the zone containing the record is not
483 signed. Doing this has costs (typically one or two extra
484 upstream queries). It also has a nasty failure mode if
485 dnsmasq's upstream nameservers are not DNSSEC capable.
486 Without --dnssec-check-unsigned using such an upstream
487 server will simply result in not queries being validated;
488 with --dnssec-check-unsigned enabled and a
489 DNSSEC-ignorant upstream server, _all_ queries will fail.
490
491 Note that DNSSEC requires that the local time is valid and
492 accurate, if not then DNSSEC validation will fail. NTP
493 should be running. This presents a problem for routers
494 without a battery-backed clock. To set the time needs NTP
495 to do DNS lookups, but lookups will fail until NTP has run.
496 To address this, there's a flag, --dnssec-no-timecheck
497 which disables the time checks (only) in DNSSEC. When dnsmasq
498 is started and the clock is not synced, this flag should
499 be used. As soon as the clock is synced, SIGHUP dnsmasq.
500 The SIGHUP clears the cache of partially-validated data and
501 resets the no-timecheck flag, so that all DNSSEC checks
502 henceforward will be complete.
503
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000504 The development of DNSSEC in dnsmasq was started by
505 Giovanni Bajo, to whom huge thanks are owed. It has been
506 supported by Comcast, whose techfund grant has allowed for
507 an invaluable period of full-time work to get it to
508 a workable state.
509
Simon Kelleyde73a492014-02-17 21:43:27 +0000510 Add --rev-server. Thanks to Dave Taht for suggesting this.
Simon Kelley7b1eae42014-02-20 13:43:28 +0000511
512 Add --servers-file. Allows dynamic update of upstream servers
513 full access to configuration.
Simon Kelleyde73a492014-02-17 21:43:27 +0000514
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000515 Add --local-service. Accept DNS queries only from hosts
516 whose address is on a local subnet, ie a subnet for which
517 an interface exists on the server. This option
Simon Kelleyf00690f2014-03-12 20:07:12 +0000518 only has effect if there are no --interface --except-interface,
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000519 --listen-address or --auth-server options. It is intended
520 to be set as a default on installation, to allow
521 unconfigured installations to be useful but also safe from
522 being used for DNS amplification attacks.
523
Simon Kelley604f7592014-03-22 19:33:43 +0000524 Fix crashes in cache_get_cname_target() when dangling CNAMEs
525 encountered. Thanks to Andy and the rt-n56u project for
526 find this and helping to chase it down.
527
Simon Kelley10068602014-04-03 21:16:40 +0100528 Fix wrong RCODE in authoritative DNS replies to PTR queries. The
529 correct answer was included, but the RCODE was set to NXDOMAIN.
530 Thanks to Craig McQueen for spotting this.
531
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100532 Make statistics available as DNS queries in the .bind TLD as
533 well as logging them.

Simon Kelley376d48c2013-11-13 13:04:30 +0000536version 2.68
537 Use random addresses for DHCPv6 temporary address
538 allocations, instead of algorithmically determined stable
539 addresses.
540
541 Fix bug which meant that the DHCPv6 DUID was not available
542 in DHCP script runs during the lifetime of the dnsmasq
543 process which created the DUID de-novo. Once the DUID was
544 created and stored in the lease file and dnsmasq
545 restarted, this bug disappeared.
546
547 Fix bug introduced in 2.67 which could result in erroneous
548 NXDOMAIN returns to CNAME queries.
549
550 Fix build failures on MacOS X and openBSD.
551
552 Allow subnet specifications in --auth-zone to be interface
553 names as well as address literals. This makes it possible
554 to configure authoritative DNS when local address ranges
555 are dynamic and works much better than the previous
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000556 work-around which exempted constructed DHCP ranges from the
Simon Kelley376d48c2013-11-13 13:04:30 +0000557 IP address filtering. As a consequence, that work-around
558 is removed. Under certain circumstances, this change wil
559 break existing configuration: if you're relying on the
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000560 constructed-range exception, you need to change --auth-zone
Simon Kelley376d48c2013-11-13 13:04:30 +0000561 to specify the same interface as is used to construct your
562 DHCP ranges, probably with a trailing "/6" like this:
563 --auth-zone=example.com,eth0/6 to limit the addresses to
564 IPv6 addresses of eth0.
Simon Kelleydd9d9ce2013-11-15 11:24:00 +0000565
566 Fix problems when advertising deleted IPv6 prefixes. If
567 the prefix is deleted (rather than replaced), it doesn't
568 get advertised with zero preferred time. Thanks to Tsachi
569 for the bug report.
Simon Kelley25439062013-11-25 21:14:51 +0000570
571 Fix segfault with some locally configured CNAMEs. Thanks
572 to Andrew Childs for spotting the problem.
573
574 Fix memory leak on re-reading /etc/hosts and friends,
575 introduced in 2.67.
Simon Kelley2329bef2013-12-03 13:41:16 +0000576
577 Check the arrival interface of incoming DNS and TFTP
578 requests via IPv6, even in --bind-interfaces mode. This
579 isn't possible for IPv4 and can generate scary warnings,
580 but as it's always possible for IPv6 (the API always
581 exists) then we should do it always.
Vladislav Grishenko4c82efc2013-12-03 16:05:30 +0000582
583 Tweak the rules on prefix-lengths in --dhcp-range for
584 IPv6. The new rule is that the specified prefix length
585 must be larger than or equal to the prefix length of the
586 corresponding address on the local interface.
587

592 this and supplying the patch.
Simon Kelleyaa63a212013-04-22 15:01:52 +0100593
594 Repair regression in 2.64. That release stopped sending
595 lease-time information in the reply to DHCPINFORM
596 requests, on the correct grounds that it was a standards
597 violation. However, this broke the dnsmasq-specific
598 dhcp_lease_time utility. Now, DHCPINFORM returns
599 lease-time only if it's specifically requested
600 (maintaining standards) and the dhcp_lease_time utility
601 has been taught to ask for it (restoring functionality).
Simon Kelley86e92f92013-04-23 11:31:39 +0100602
603 Fix --dhcp-match, --dhcp-vendorclass and --dhcp-userclass

610 Fix failure to compile ipset.c if old kernel headers are
611 in use. Thanks to Eugene Rudoy for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley3f2873d2013-05-14 11:28:47 +0100612
613 Handle IPv4 interface-address labels in Linux. These are
614 often used to emulate the old IP-alias addresses. Before,
615 using --interface=eth0 would service all the addresses of
616 eth0, including ones configured as aliases, which appear
617 in ifconfig as eth0:0. Now, only addresses with the label
618 eth0 are active. This is not backwards compatible: if you
619 want to continue to bind the aliases too, you need to add
620 eg. --interface=eth0:0 to the config.

Simon Kelleycfcad422013-05-17 11:32:03 +0100622 Fix "failed to set SO_BINDTODEVICE on DHCP socket: Socket

633 included. Thanks to Zhiqiang Wang for the bug report.
Simon Kelleybaa80ae2013-05-29 16:32:07 +0100634

640
Simon Kelleye2ba0df2013-05-31 17:04:25 +0100641 If wildcards are used in --interface, don't assume that
642 there will only ever be one available interface for DHCP
643 just because there is one at start-up. More may appear, so
644 we can't use SO_BINDTODEVICE. Thanks to Natrio for the bug
645 report.

656
Roy Marples3f3adae2013-07-25 16:22:46 +0100657 Fixes to DHCP FQDN option handling: don't terminate FQDN

661
Simon Kelleyd9fb0be2013-07-25 21:47:17 +0100662 Make --clear-on-reload apply to setting upstream servers
663 via DBus too.
664
Simon Kelleyef1a94a2013-07-26 13:59:03 +0100665 When the address which triggered the construction of an
666 advertised IPv6 prefix disappears, continue to advertise
667 the prefix for up to 2 hours, with the preferred lifetime
668 set to zero. This satisfies RFC 6204 4.3 L-13 and makes
669 things work better if a prefix disappears without being
670 deprecated first. Thanks to Uwe Schindler for persuasively
671 arguing for this.

683
Simon Kelley2937f8a2013-07-29 19:49:07 +0100684 Provide independent control over which interfaces get TFTP
685 service. If enable-tftp is given a list of interfaces, then TFTP
686 is provided on those. Without the list, the previous behaviour
687 (provide TFTP to the same interfaces we provide DHCP to)
688 is retained. Thanks to Lonnie Abelbeck for the suggestion.

Simon Kelley89500e32013-09-20 16:29:20 +0100703 Support identification of clients by MAC address in
704 DHCPv6. When using a relay, the relay must support RFC

709 Remove the rule for constructed DHCP ranges that the local

711 range. This was originally to avoid SLAAC addresses, but
712 we now explicitly autoconfig and privacy addresses instead.

Simon Kelleyc4cd95d2013-10-10 20:58:11 +0100721 Add --ra-param option. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for
722 inspiration on this.
723
Simon Kelleyed4c0762013-10-08 20:46:34 +0100724 Add --add-subnet configuration, to tell upstream DNS
Simon Kelleyf65b0e52013-10-11 10:19:01 +0100725 servers where the original client is. Thanks to DNSthingy
726 for sponsoring this feature.
Simon Kelleyed4c0762013-10-08 20:46:34 +0100727
Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant8c0b73d2013-10-11 11:56:33 +0100728 Add --quiet-dhcp, --quiet-dhcp6 and --quiet-ra. Thanks to
729 Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for the initial patch.
730
Simon Kelleyd56a6042013-10-11 14:39:03 +0100731 Allow A/AAAA records created by --interface-name to be the
732 target of --cname. Thanks to Hadmut Danisch for the
733 suggestion.
734
Simon Kelley24b5a5d2013-10-11 15:19:28 +0100735 Avoid treating a --dhcp-host which has an IPv6 address
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000736 as eligible for use with DHCPv4 on the grounds that it has
Simon Kelley24b5a5d2013-10-11 15:19:28 +0100737 no address, and vice-versa. Thanks to Yury Konovalov for
738 spotting the problem.
739
Simon Kelley45cca582013-10-15 10:20:13 +0100740 Do a better job caching dangling CNAMEs. Thanks to Yves
741 Dorfsman for spotting the problem.

Simon Kelley333b2ce2013-01-07 21:46:03 +0000744version 2.66
745 Add the ability to act as an authoritative DNS
746 server. Dnsmasq can now answer queries from the wider 'net
747 with local data, as long as the correct NS records are set
748 up. Only local data is provided, to avoid creating an open
749 DNS relay. Zone transfer is supported, to allow secondary
750 servers to be configured.
751
752 Add "constructed DHCP ranges" for DHCPv6. This is intended
753 for IPv6 routers which get prefixes dynamically via prefix
754 delegation. With suitable configuration, stateful DHCPv6
755 and RA can happen automatically as prefixes are delegated
756 and then deprecated, without having to re-write the
757 dnsmasq configuration file or restart the daemon. Thanks to
758 Steven Barth for extensive testing and development work on
759 this idea.
Simon Kelley71c73ac2013-01-08 21:22:24 +0000760
761 Fix crash on startup on Solaris 11. Regression probably
Simon Kelley22ce5502013-01-22 13:53:04 +0000762 introduced in 2.61. Thanks to Geoff Johnstone for the
763 patch.
764
765 Add code to make behaviour for TCP DNS requests that same
766 as for UDP requests, when a request arrives for an allowed
767 address, but via a banned interface. This change is only
768 active on Linux, since the relevant API is missing (AFAIK)
769 on other platforms. Many thanks to Tomas Hozza for
770 spotting the problem, and doing invaluable discovery of
771 the obscure and undocumented API required for the solution.
Simon Kelleya21e27b2013-02-17 16:41:35 +0000772
773 Don't send the default DHCP option advertising dnsmasq as
774 the local DNS server if dnsmasq is configured to not act
775 as DNS server, or it's configured to a non-standard port.
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000776
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000777 Add DNSMASQ_CIRCUIT_ID, DNSMASQ_SUBSCRIBER_ID,
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000778 DNSMASQ_REMOTE_ID variables to the environment of the
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000779 lease-change script (and the corresponding Lua). These hold
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000780 information inserted into the DHCP request by a DHCP relay
781 agent. Thanks to Lakefield Communications for providing a
782 bounty for this addition.
783
Simon Kelley4038ae22013-02-19 16:47:07 +0000784 Fixed crash, introduced in 2.64, whilst handling DHCPv6
785 information-requests with some common configurations.
786 Thanks to Robert M. Albrecht for the bug report and
787 chasing the problem.
788
Jason A. Donenfeld13d86c72013-02-22 18:20:53 +0000789 Add --ipset option. Thanks to Jason A. Donenfeld for the
790 patch.
791
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +0000792 Don't erroneously reject some option names in --dhcp-match
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000793 options. Thanks to Benedikt Hochstrasser for the bug report.
Simon Kelley49333cb2013-03-15 20:30:51 +0000794
795 Allow a trailing '*' wildcard in all interface-name
796 configurations. Thanks to Christian Parpart for the patch.
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +0000797
Simon Kelley56a11422013-04-02 17:02:58 +0100798 Handle the situation where libc headers define
799 SO_REUSEPORT, but the kernel in use doesn't, to cope with
800 the introduction of this option to Linux. Thanks to Rich
801 Felker for the bug report.
802
Simon Kelleycd1e04a2013-04-02 20:11:48 +0100803 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
Simon Kelley0b0a73c2013-04-11 14:07:02 +0100804
805 Fix crash if the configured DHCP lease limit is
806 reached. Regression occurred in 2.61. Thanks to Tsachi for
807 the bug report.
Simon Kelleycd1e04a2013-04-02 20:11:48 +0100808
Simon Kelley834f36f2013-04-17 13:52:49 +0100809 Update the French translation. Thanks to Gildas le Nadan.

Simon Kelley49333cb2013-03-15 20:30:51 +0000811
Simon Kelleyee86ce62012-12-07 11:54:46 +0000812version 2.65
813 Fix regression which broke forwarding of queries sent via
814 TCP which are not for A and AAAA and which were directed to
815 non-default servers. Thanks to Niax for the bug report.
816
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +0000817 Fix failure to build with DHCP support excluded. Thanks to
818 Gustavo Zacarias for the patch.
Simon Kelley1d6c6392012-12-14 11:19:36 +0000819
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000820 Fix nasty regression in 2.64 which completely broke caching.
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +0000821
822
Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +0100823version 2.64
824 Handle DHCP FQDN options with all flag bits zero and
825 --dhcp-client-update set. Thanks to Bernd Krumbroeck for
826 spotting the problem.
827
Simon Kelley12d71ed2012-08-30 15:16:41 +0100828 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
829 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
830 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000831 generate a warning. Now that only happens if there is not
Simon Kelley12d71ed2012-08-30 15:16:41 +0100832 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in
833 /etc/hosts with one of them assigned via DHCP.
834
Simon Kelley4d0f5b42012-09-05 23:29:30 +0100835 Fix broken vendor-option processing for BOOTP. Thanks to
836 Hans-Joachim Baader for the bug report.
837
Simon Kelleydfb23b32012-09-18 21:44:47 +0100838 Don't report spurious netlink errors, regression in
839 2.63. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
840
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000841 Flag DHCP or DHCPv6 in startup logging. Thanks to
Simon Kelley2b127a12012-09-18 21:51:22 +0100842 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
843
Simon Kelley295a54e2012-12-01 21:02:15 +0000844 Add SetServersEx method in DBus interface. Thanks to Dan
Simon Kelleyfaafb3f2012-09-20 14:17:39 +0100845 Williams for the patch.
846
Simon Kelley295a54e2012-12-01 21:02:15 +0000847 Add SetDomainServers method in DBus interface. Thanks to
848 Roy Marples for the patch.
849
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000850 Fix build with later Lua libraries. Thanks to Cristian
Simon Kelley289a2532012-09-20 15:29:35 +0100851 Rodriguez for the patch.
Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +0100852
Simon Kelley1d860412012-09-20 20:48:04 +0100853 Add --max-cache-ttl option. Thanks to Dennis Kaarsemaker
854 for the patch.
855
Simon Kelleye4807d82012-09-27 21:52:26 +0100856 Fix breakage of --host-record parsing, resulting in
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000857 infinite loop at startup. Regression in 2.63. Thanks to
Simon Kelleye4807d82012-09-27 21:52:26 +0100858 Haim Gelfenbeyn for spotting this.
859
Simon Kelley20223102012-10-15 10:41:17 +0100860 Set SO_REUSEADDRESS and SO_V6ONLY options on the DHCPv6
861 socket, this allows multiple instances of dnsmasq on a
862 single machine, in the same way as for DHCPv4. Thanks to
863 Gene Czarcinski and Vladislav Grishenko for work on this.
864
Simon Kelleybe6cfb42012-10-16 20:38:31 +0100865 Fix DHCPv6 to do access control correctly when it's
866 configured with --listen-address. Thanks to
867 Gene Czarcinski for sorting this out.
868
Simon Kelley819ff4d2012-10-21 18:25:12 +0100869 Add a "wildcard" dhcp-range which works for any IPv6
870 subnet, --dhcp-range=::,static Useful for Stateless
871 DHCPv6. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
872
Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +0000873 Don't include lease-time in DHCPACK replies to DHCPINFORM
874 queries, since RFC-2131 says we shouldn't. Thanks to
875 Wouter Ibens for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley8e4b8792012-11-14 14:12:56 +0000876
877 Makefile tweak to do dependency checking on header files.
878 Thanks to Johan Peeters for the patch.
Simon Kelleyd89fb4e2012-12-01 21:21:13 +0000879
880 Check interface for outgoing unsolicited router
881 advertisements, rather than relying on interface address
882 configuration. Thanks to Gene Czarinski for the patch.
Simon Kelley29d28dd2012-12-03 14:05:59 +0000883
884 Handle better attempts to transmit on interfaces which are
885 still doing DAD, and specifically do not just transmit
886 without setting source address and interface, since this
887 can cause very puzzling effects when a router
888 advertisement goes astray. Thanks again to Gene Czarinski.
889
890 Get RA timers right when there is more than one
891 dhcp-range on a subnet.

896
Simon Kelley8b3ae2f2012-06-13 13:43:49 +0100897 Check that tftp-root directories are accessible before
898 start-up. Thanks to Daniel Veillard for the initial patch.
899
900 Allow more than one --tfp-root flag. The per-interface
901 stuff is pointless without that.
902
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100903 Add --bind-dynamic. A hybrid mode between the default and
904 --bind-interfaces which copes with dynamically created
905 interfaces.
Simon Kelley6b617c02012-06-29 21:15:42 +0100906
907 A couple of fixes to the build system for Android. Thanks
908 to Metin Kaya for the patches.
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100909
Simon Kelley8bc4cec2012-07-03 21:04:11 +0100910 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
911 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
912 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
913 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
914 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
915 superceded by other mechanisms.
916
Simon Kelleyc4a7f902012-07-12 20:52:12 +0100917 Fixed bug logging filenames when duplicate dhcp-host
918 addresses are found. Thanks to John Hanks for the patch.
919
Simon Kelley611ebc52012-07-16 16:23:46 +0100920 Fix regression in 2.61 which broke caching of CNAME
921 chains. Thanks to Atul Gupta for the bug report.
922

Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +0100925 Teach DHCPv6 about the RFC 4242 information-refresh-time
926 option, and add parsing if the minutes, hours and days
927 format for options. Thanks to Francois-Xavier Le Bail for
928 the suggestion.
929
930 Allow "w" (for week) as multiplier in lease times, as well
931 as seconds, minutes, hours and days. Álvaro Gámez Machado
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000932 spotted the omission.

Simon Kelleyad094272012-08-10 17:10:54 +0100936 Allow a DBus service name to be given with --enable-dbus
937 which overrides the default,
938 uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq. Thanks to Mathieu
939 Trudel-Lapierre for the patch.
940
Simon Kelleyfd05f122012-08-12 17:48:50 +0100941 Set the "prefix on-link" bit in Router

Simon Kelleyf632e562012-05-12 15:05:34 +0100948 Cope with router-solict packets wich don't have a valid
949 source address. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
950
Simon Kelley919dd7c2012-05-12 15:23:09 +0100951 Fixed bug which caused missing periodic router
952 advertisements with some configurations. Thanks to
953 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
954
Simon Kelleyc64b7f62012-05-18 10:19:59 +0100955 Fixed bug which broke DHCPv6/RA with prefix lengths
956 which are not divisible by 8. Thanks to Andre Coetzee
957 for spotting this.
958
Simon Kelley18c63ef2012-05-21 14:34:15 +0100959 Fix non-response to router-solicitations when
960 router-advertisement configured, but DHCPv6 not
961 configured. Thanks to Marien Zwart for the patch.
962
Simon Kelley9f7f3b12012-05-28 21:39:57 +0100963 Add --dns-rr, to allow arbitrary DNS resource records.
964
Simon Kelley5ae34bf2012-06-04 21:14:03 +0100965 Fixed bug which broke RA scheduling when an interface had
966 two addresses in the same network. Thanks to Jim Bos for
967 his help nailing this.
968
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000969version 2.61
970 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use
971 getifaddrs. This is more portable, more straightforward,
972 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
973 addresses.
974
Simon Kelley01d1b8d2012-03-28 21:37:25 +0100975 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
976 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
977 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
978 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
979 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
980 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.
Simon Kelley7023e382012-03-09 12:05:49 +0000981
Simon Kelley8b372702012-03-09 17:45:10 +0000982 Add --dhcp-duid to allow DUID-EN uids to be used.
983
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000984 Explicitly send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000985 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
986 source address, since at least one client in the wild gets
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100987 this wrong. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki for help tracking
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000988 this down.
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000989
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000990 Send a preference value of 255 in DHCPv6 replies when
991 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
992 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
993
994 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
995
Simon Kelleye759d422012-03-16 13:18:57 +0000996 Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the
997 suggestion.
998
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000999 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
1000 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
1001 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001002 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilities
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +00001003 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
1004 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
1005 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
1006 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
1007 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
1008 Gadgil.
1009
1010 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
1011 the above.
1012
1013 Set the environment variable DNSMASQ_LOG_DHCP when running
1014 the script id --log-dhcp is in effect, so that script can
Simon Kelley52d4abf2012-03-21 21:39:48 +00001015 taylor their logging verbosity. Suggestion from Malte
1016 Forkel.
1017
1018 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
1019 work even if there is no interface carrying the
1020 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
1021 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
1022 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
1023 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
1024 the idea and initial patch.

Simon Kelley7d2b5c92012-03-23 10:00:02 +00001026 Fix crash, introduced in 2.60, when a DHCPINFORM is

1028 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
1029
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +01001030 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
1031 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001032 preferred lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +01001033 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
1034 for existing connections, but new connections will use
1035 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
1036 renumbering at least possible.
1037
1038 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease

Simon Kelley1023dcb2012-04-09 18:00:08 +01001048 Don't cache data from non-recursive nameservers, since it
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001049 may erroneously look like a valid CNAME to a non-existent

Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +01001053 on exactly one interface and --bind-interfaces is set. This
Simon Kelley9380ba72012-04-16 14:41:56 +01001054 makes the OpenStack use-case of one dnsmasq per virtual
1055 interface work. This is only available on Linux; it's not
1056 supported on other platforms. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya
Simon Kelleye46164e2012-04-16 16:39:38 +01001057 and the OpenStack team for the suggestion.

Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +00001080 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
1081 which is not the primary address of an interface.
1082
1083 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
1084
1085 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
1086 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
1087 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
1088 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
1089 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
1090 implementation.
1091
1092 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
1093 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
1094 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
1095 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
1096 set them from the make command line.
1097
1098 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
1099 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.
1100
1101 Set TOS on DHCP sockets, this improves things on busy
1102 wireless networks. Thanks to Dave Taht for the patch.

Simon Kelleya2761752012-01-18 16:07:21 +00001107 Improve start-up speed when reading large hosts files
1108 containing many distinct addresses.
1109
1110 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
1111 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
1112 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
1113 this.
1114
Simon Kelley9bbc8872012-02-09 21:33:09 +00001115 Fix shell-scripting bug in bld/pkg-wrapper. Thanks to
1116 Mark Mitchell for the patch.
1117
Simon Kelley751d6f42012-02-10 15:24:51 +00001118 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
1119 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
1120 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
1121 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
1122
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +00001123 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
1124 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
1125 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
1126 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
Simon Kelleye5ffdb92012-02-13 14:19:25 +00001127 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
Simon Kelleyb36ae192012-02-13 12:54:34 +00001128 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
1129
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +00001130 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
1131 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
1132 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
1133 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
1134 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
1135 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
1136 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
1137 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
1138 These will be added as the standards mature.
1139 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
1140 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
1141 testers who have got it this far.
Simon Kelley1adadf52012-02-13 22:15:58 +00001142
Simon Kelleyac8540c2012-02-26 20:57:31 +00001143 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
1144 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
1145 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
1146 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
1147 enabling with --enable-ra.
1148
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +00001149 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
1150 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive
1151 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
1152 Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.

Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +00001159version 2.59
1160 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
1161 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
1162 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
1163 report.
1164
1165 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
1166 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
1167 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
1168 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
1169 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
1170 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
1171 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
1172 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
1173 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +01001174
1175
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001176version 2.58
1177 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
1178 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
1179
1180 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
1181 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
1182 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
1183
1184 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
1185 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
1186 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
1187 server-deployment applications need this.
1188
1189 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
1190 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
1191 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
1192 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
1193 in chasing this one down.
1194
1195 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
1196 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
1197 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
1198 the problem.
1199
1200 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
1201 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
1202 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
1203 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
1204 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
1205 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
1206
1207 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
1208 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
1209 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
1210 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
1211 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
1212 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
1213 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
1214 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
1215
1216 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
1217 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
1218
1219 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
1220 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
1221 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
1222 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
1223
1224 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
1225 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
1226
1227 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
1228 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
1229 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
1230 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
1231 Agrawal for the patch.
1232
1233 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
1234 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
1235 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
1236 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
1237 per-network values. So
1238 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
1239 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
1240 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
1241 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
1242 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
1243 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
1244
1245 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
1246 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
1247 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
1248 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
1249 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
1250 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
1251 a comprehensive test-case.
1252
1253 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
1254 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
Simon Kelleyde604c12012-10-19 09:50:01 +01001255 length. Many thanks to Loic Pefferkorn for finding this.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001256
1257 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
1258 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
1259 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
1260 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to
1261 Michael Stapelberg for the suggestion.

1267
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +00001268version 2.57
1269 Add patches to allow build under Android.
1270
1271 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
1272 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
1273 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
1274 effectively empty on Android.
1275
1276 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
1277 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
1278 wildcard.
1279
1280 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
1281 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
1282 spotting this.
1283
1284 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
1285 IDN support continues to be included automatically
1286 when i18n is included.
1287 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
1288
1289 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
1290 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
1291 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.
1292
1293
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001294version 2.56
1295 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
1296 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
1297
1298 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
1299 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
1300 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
1301 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
1302
1303 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
1304 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
1305
1306 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
1307 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
1308 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
1309
1310 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
1311 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
1312 syslogd.
1313
1314 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
1315 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
1316 Petrin for the orignal patch.
1317
1318 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
1319 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
1320 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
1321
1322 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
1323 option, on the command line.
1324
1325 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
1326 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
1327
1328 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001329 b) --keep-in-foreground is set. The logging facility on the
1330 other end of stderr can be assumed to supply them. Thanks
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001331 to John Hallam for the patch.
1332
1333 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
1334 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
1335 character chunks instead.
1336
1337 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
1338 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
1339 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
1340 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
1341
1342 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001343 transfer has completed successfully.
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001344
1345 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
1346 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
1347 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
1348 which automatically creates
1349 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
1350 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
1351
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001352 Tighten up syntax checking of hex constants in the config
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001353 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
1354
1355 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
1356 thanks for that.
1357
1358 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
1359 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
1360 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
1361 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
1362 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
1363 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
1364 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
1365 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
1366 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
1367
1368 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
1369 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
1370 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
1371 set.
1372
1373 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
1374 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
1375
1376 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
1377 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
1378 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
1379
1380 Edit
1381 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
1382 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
1383 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
1384
1385 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
1386 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
1387 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
1388 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
1389 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001390 override this behaviour by defining the semantics if the
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001391 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
1392 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
1393 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001394 of the address family which doesn't appear in --address
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001395 So:
1396 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
1397 --server=/google.com/#
1398 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
1399 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
1400 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
1401 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
1402 William for pointing out the need for this.
1403
1404 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
1405 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
1406 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
1407
1408 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
1409 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
1410 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
1411 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.
1412
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +00001413 Fix cosmetic bug which produced strange output when

Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001430 There is no version 2.54 to avoid confusion with 2.53,

Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001434version 2.53
1435 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
1436 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
1437
1438 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
1439 generated by gcc 4.4.
1440
1441 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
1442 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
1443
1444 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
1445 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
1446 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
1447
1448 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
1449 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
1450 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
1451 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
1452 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
1453 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
1454 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
1455 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
1456 the documentation and new-style config files should be
1457 much less confusing.
1458
1459 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
1460 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
1461 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
1462
1463 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
1464
1465 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
1466
1467 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
1468 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
1469 finding this.
1470
1471 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
1472 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
1473 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
1474 from the client.
1475
1476 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
1477 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
1478 finding this.
1479
1480 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
1481 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
1482 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
1483 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
1484 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
1485 server-override option.
1486
1487 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
1488 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
1489 allows a single line of the form
1490 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
1491 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
1492 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
1493 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001494 irrespective of the existence or lack of
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001495 interface=<interface>
1496 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
1497 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
1498 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
1499 configuration.
1500
1501 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
1502
1503 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
1504 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
1505
1506 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
1507 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
1508 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
1509 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
1510
1511 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
1512 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
1513 file, not the process/descriptor.
1514
1515 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
1516 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
1517
1518 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
1519 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
1520 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
1521 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
1522 this and testing the fix.
1523
1524 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
1525 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
1526 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
1527
1528 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
1529 upstream servers: this allows something like
1530 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
1531 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
1532 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
1533 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
1534
1535 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
1536 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
1537 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
1538 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
1539 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
1540 work on this.
1541
1542 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
1543 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
1544 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
1545 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
1546 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
1547 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
1548 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
1549
1550 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
1551
1552 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
1553 than one server available for a domain, eg.
1554 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
1555 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
1556 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
1557 here.
1558
1559 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
1560
1561 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
1562 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1563
1564 Fix regression which caused configuration like
1565 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
1566 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
1567 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
1568 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
1569
1570 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
1571 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1572
1573 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
1574 is set.
1575
1576 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
1577 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.
1578
1579 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1580
1581 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1582
1583 Updated German translation. Thanks to Matthias Andree.
1584
1585 Added contrib/static-arp, thanks to Darren Hoo.
1586
1587 Fix corruption of the domain when a name from /etc/hosts
1588 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
1589 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
1590
1591 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1592
1593
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001594version 2.52
1595 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
1596 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
1597 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
1598 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
1599 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
1600 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
1601 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
1602 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
1603
1604 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
1605 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
1606 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
1607 necessary for some *WRT distros.
1608
1609 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
1610 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
1611 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
1612 when dnsmasq is first started.
1613
1614 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
1615 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
1616 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
1617 with certain clients.
1618
1619 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
1620 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
1621 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
1622
1623 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
1624 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
1625 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
1626 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
1627 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
1628 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
1629 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
1630 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
1631 numbers delimited by dots.
1632
1633 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
1634 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
1635
1636 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
1637 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
1638
1639 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
1640 contrib/Solaris10.
1641
1642 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
1643 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
1644 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
1645 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
1646 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
1647 addresses available in such an installation removes a
1648 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
1649
1650 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
1651 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
1652 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
1653 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
1654
1655 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
1656 the lease-change script in the environment variable
1657 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
1658
1659 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
1660 Options". The syntax looks like this:
1661 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
1662
1663 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
1664 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
1665 looks like this:
1666 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
1667
1668 Add some application specific code to assist in
1669 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
1670 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
1671
1672 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
1673 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
1674 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
1675 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
1676
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001677 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001678 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
1679
1680 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
1681 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
1682 this.
1683
1684 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
1685 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
1686 providing this.
1687
1688 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.
1689 Thanks to Oschtan for the bug report.
1690
1691 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1692
1693 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1694
1695 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1696
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001697 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
1698 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
1699 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
1700 finding and analysing the problem.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001701
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001702
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001703version 2.51
1704 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
1705 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
1706 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
1707 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
1708 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
1709 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
1710 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
1711 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
1712 suggestion.
1713
1714 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
1715 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
1716 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
1717 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
1718 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
1719 a DHCP relay, if used.
1720 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
1721
1722 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
1723 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
1724
1725 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
1726 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
1727 dhcp-option-force.
1728
1729 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
1730 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
1731 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
1732
1733 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
1734 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
1735 the patch.
1736
1737 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1738
1739 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
1740 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
1741
1742 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
1743 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
1744 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
1745 suggestion.
1746
1747 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
1748 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
1749 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
1750 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
1751 dhcp-optsfile.
1752
1753 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
1754 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
1755 is retried. This should improve performance when there
1756 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
1757 suggestion.
1758
1759 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
1760 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
1761 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
1762 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
1763 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
1764
1765 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
1766 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
1767 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
1768 fragmented packets.
1769
1770 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
1771 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
1772
1773 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001777 Fix security problem which allowed any host permitted to
Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +01001778 do TFTP to possibly compromise dnsmasq by remote buffer
1779 overflow when TFTP enabled. Thanks to Core Security
1780 Technologies and Iván Arce, Pablo Hernán Jorge, Alejandro
1781 Pablo Rodriguez, Martín Coco, Alberto Soliño Testa and
1782 Pablo Annetta. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36121
1783 and CVE: 2009-2957
1784
1785 Fix a problem which allowed a malicious TFTP client to
1786 crash dnsmasq. Thanks to Steve Grubb at Red Hat for
1787 spotting this. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36120 and
1788 CVE: 2009-2958

1792 Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
1793 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
1794
1795 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
1796 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
1797 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
1798 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
1799
1800 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001808 Fixed bug which broke binding of servers to physical
1809 interfaces when interface names were longer than four
1810 characters. Thanks to MURASE Katsunori for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001811
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001812 Fixed netlink code to check that messages come from the
1813 correct source, and not another userspace process. Thanks
1814 to Steve Grubb for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001815
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001816 Maintainability drive: removed bug and missing feature
1817 workarounds for some old platforms. Solaris 9, OpenBSD
1818 older than 4.1, Glibc older than 2.2, Linux 2.2.x and
1819 DBus older than 1.1.x are no longer supported.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001820
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001821 Don't read included configuration files more than once:
1822 allows complex configuration structures without problems.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001823
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001824 Mark log messages from the various subsystems in dnsmasq:
1825 messages from the DHCP subsystem now have the ident string
1826 "dnsmasq-dhcp" and messages from TFTP have ident
1827 "dnsmasq-tftp". Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001828
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001829 Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
1830 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
1831 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001832
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001833 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
1834 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
1835 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001836
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001837 Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001838
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001839 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
1840 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
1841 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
1842 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
1843 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
1844 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
1845 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
1846 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
1847 and Michael Brown for assistance.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001848
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001849 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
1850 useful suggestions.
1851
1852 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
1853 this, edit src/config.h or build with
1854 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
1855
1856 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
1857 configuration files only.

1868 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
1869 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001870 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overridden in CFLAGS.

1872 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1873 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1874 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1875 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1876 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1877 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1878 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1879 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1880 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1881 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1882 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1883 Krafft for the bug report.
1884
1885 Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.
1886
1887 Update Dbus configuration file. Patch from Colin Walters.
1888 Fix for this bug:
1889 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18961
1890
1891 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
1892 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
1893 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
1894 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
1895
1896 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
1897 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
1898
1899 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
1900
1901 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
1902 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
1903 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
1904 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
1905 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
1906
1907 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
1908 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
1909
1910 No longer complain about blank lines in
1911 /etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
1912
1913 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
1914 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
1915 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
1916 for the bug report.
1917
1918 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
1919 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
1920 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
1921 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
1922
1923 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
1924 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
1925 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
1926 as before.
1927 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
1928 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
1929 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
1930
1931 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
1932 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
1933 Windows even when using supernetting.
1934 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1935 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1936 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1937 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
1938
1939 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1940
1941 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1942 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1943 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1944 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1945 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1946 directory owned and write-able by the user running
1947 dnsmasq.

1951 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
1952 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
1953 suggestion.
1954
1955 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
1956 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
1957 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
1958 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
1959 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
1960
1961 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
1962 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
1963 based in their IP address.
1964
1965 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1966 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1967 a domain associated with each client, and only
1968 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1969 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
1970 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
1971 long as they are in different domains.
1972
1973 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
1974 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
1975 have now that it's variable.
1976
1977 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
1978 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
1979 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
1980 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
1981 potential.
1982
1983 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
1984 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
1985 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
1986
1987 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
1988 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
1989
1990 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
1991 which the DHCP request was received.
1992
1993 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
1994 Laine for the patch.
1995
1996 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
1997 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
1998
1999 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
2000 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
2001 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
2002 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
2003 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
2004 address to a host which has two network interfaces
2005 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
2006 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
2007 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
2008 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
2009 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
2010
2011 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
2012 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
2013 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
2014 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
2015 improvement.
2016
2017 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
2018 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
2019 suggestions on this.
2020
2021 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
2022 Fisher.
2023
2024 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
2025
2026 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
2027 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
2028
2029 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
2030
2031 Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
2032 up" event occurs.
2033
2034
2035version 2.45
2036 Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
2037 specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
2038 bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
2039 break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
2040
2041
2042version 2.44
2043 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
2044 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
2045 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
2046
2047 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
2048 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
2049 never been reported in the wild.
2050
2051 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
2052 Jean Wolter for finding this.
2053
2054 Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
2055 is large.
2056
2057 Patch to enable compilation of latest Mac OS X. Thanks to
2058 David Gilman.
2059
2060 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Christopher Chatham.
2061
2062
2063version 2.43
2064 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
2065
2066 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
2067 illegally.
2068
2069 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
2070
2071 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
2072 format.
2073
2074 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
2075 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
2076 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
2077 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
2078 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
2079
2080 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
2081 Rack for the bug report.
2082
2083 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
2084 Bergquist.
2085
2086 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
2087 option.
2088
2089 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
2090 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
2091
2092 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
2093 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
2094
2095 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
2096 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
2097 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
2098 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
2099 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
2100 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
2101 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
2102 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
2103 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
2104 suggestions.
2105
2106 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
2107 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
2108 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
2109
2110 Implement random source ports for interactions with
2111 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
2112 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
2113 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
2114 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
2115 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
2116 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
2117 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
2118 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
2119 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
2120
2121 Replace the random number generator, for better
2122 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
2123 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
2124 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
2125 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
2126 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
2127 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
2128
2129 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
2130 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
2131 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
2132 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
2133 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
2134
2135 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
