Simon Kelleyd2aa7df2015-08-03 21:52:12 +01001version 2.76
2 Include 0.0.0.0/8 in DNS rebind checks. This range
3 translates to hosts on the local network, or, at
4 least, 0.0.0.0 accesses the local host, so could
5 be targets for DNS rebinding. See RFC 5735 section 3
6 for details. Thanks to Stephen Röttger for the bug report.
Ed Bardsleya7369be2015-08-05 21:17:18 +01007
8 Enhance --add-subnet to allow arbitrary subnet addresses.
9 Thanks to Ed Barsley for the patch.
Simon Kelley77607cb2015-09-10 23:08:43 +010010
11 Respect the --no-resolv flag in inotify code. Fixes bug
12 which caused dnsmasq to fail to start if a resolv-file
13 was a dangling symbolic link, even of --no-resolv set.
14 Thanks to Alexander Kurtz for spotting the problem.
15
Edwin Török41a8d9e2015-11-14 17:45:48 +000016 Fix crash when an A or AAAA record is defined locally,
17 in a hosts file, and an upstream server sends a reply
18 that the same name is empty. Thanks to Edwin Török for
19 the patch.
20
André Glüpkereddf3652016-01-12 12:54:17 +000021 Fix failure to correctly calculate cache-size when
22 reading a hosts-file fails. Thanks to André Glüpker
23 for the patch.
24
Simon Kelleyd05dd582016-01-19 21:23:30 +000025 Fix wrong answer to simple name query when --domain-needed
26 set, but no upstream servers configured. Dnsmasq returned
27 REFUSED, in this case, when it should be the same as when
28 upstream servers are configured - NOERROR. Thanks to
29 Allain Legacy for spotting the problem.
30
31 Return REFUSED when running out of forwarding table slots,
32 not SERVFAIL.
33
Hans Dedecker926332a2016-01-23 10:48:12 +000034 Add --max-port configuration. Thanks to Hans Dedecker for
35 the patch.
Simon Kelley1e505122016-01-25 21:29:23 +000036
37 Add --script-arp and two new functions for the dhcp-script.
38 These are "arp" and "arp-old" which announce the arrival and
39 removal of entries in the ARP or nieghbour tables.
40
41 Extend --add-mac to allow a new encoding of the MAC address
42 as base64, by configurting --add-mac=base64
Simon Kelleyfdc97e12016-02-13 17:47:17 +000043
Simon Kelley1e505122016-01-25 21:29:23 +000044 Add --add-cpe-id option.
45
Simon Kelleyfdc97e12016-02-13 17:47:17 +000046 Don't crash with divide-by-zero if an IPv6 dhcp-range
47 is declared as a whole /64.
48 (ie xx::0 to xx::ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff)
49 Thanks to Laurent Bendel for spotting this problem.
50
Simon Kelleye06e6e32016-02-24 21:26:16 +000051 Add support for a TTL parameter in --host-record and
52 --cname.
53
54 Add --dhcp-ttl option.
Simon Kelleyfdc97e12016-02-13 17:47:17 +000055
Simon Kelleybec366b2016-02-24 22:03:26 +000056 Add --tftp-mtu option. Thanks to Patrick McLean for the
57 initial patch.
58
Simon Kelleya2bc2542016-04-21 22:34:22 +010059 Check return-code of inet_pton() when parsing dhcp-option.
60 Bad addresses could fail to generate errors and result in
61 garbage dhcp-options being sent. Thanks to Marc Branchaud
62 for spotting this.
63
Simon Kelley14ffa072016-04-25 16:36:44 +010064 Fix wrong value for EDNS UDP packet size when using
65 --servers-file to define upstream DNS servers. Thanks to
66 Scott Bonar for the bug report.
67
Simon Kelley69cbf782016-05-03 21:33:38 +010068 Move the dhcp_release and dhcp_lease_time tools from
69 contrib/wrt to contrib/lease-tools.
70
71 Add dhcp_release6 to contrib/lease-tools. Many thanks
72 to Sergey Nechaev for this code.
73
Simon Kelleyb9702602016-05-03 22:34:06 +010074 To avoid filling logs in configurations which define
75 many upstream nameservers, don't log more that 30 servers.
76 The number to be logged can be changed as SERVERS_LOGGED
Simon Kelley68bea102016-05-11 22:15:06 +010077 in src/config.h.
78
79 Swap the values if BC_EFI and x86-64_EFI in --pxe-service.
80 These were previously wrong due to an error in RFC 4578.
81 If you're using BC_EFI to boot 64-bit EFI machines, you
82 will need to update your config.
83
84 Add ARM32_EFI and ARM64_EFI as valid architectures in
85 --pxe-service.
Simon Kelleyb9702602016-05-03 22:34:06 +010086
Simon Kelley0a4a0492016-05-15 20:13:45 +010087 Fix PXE booting for UEFI architectures. Modify PXE boot
88 sequence in this case to force the client to talk to dnsmasq
89 over port 4011. This makes PXE and especially proxy-DHCP PXE
90 work with these archictectures.
91
92 Workaround problems with UEFI PXE clients. There exist
93 in the wild PXE clients which have problems with PXE
94 boot menus. To work around this, when there's a single
95 --pxe-service which applies to client, then that target
96 will be booted directly, rather then sending a
97 single-item boot menu.
98
99 Many thanks to Jarek Polok, Michael Kuron and Dreamcat4
100 for their work on the long-standing UEFI PXE problem.
101
Simon Kelleybec366b2016-02-24 22:03:26 +0000102
Simon Kelley63ec5d12015-07-30 20:59:07 +0100103version 2.75
104 Fix reversion on 2.74 which caused 100% CPU use when a
105 dhcp-script is configured. Thanks to Adrian Davey for
106 reporting the bug and testing the fix.
107
108
Simon Kelley90cb2222015-07-05 21:59:10 +0100109version 2.74
110 Fix reversion in 2.73 where --conf-file would attempt to
111 read the default file, rather than no file.
112
Simon Kelley362c9302015-07-06 21:48:49 +0100113 Fix inotify code to handle dangling symlinks better and
114 not SEGV in some circumstances.
115
Simon Kelley13480e82015-07-16 22:23:13 +0100116 DNSSEC fix. In the case of a signed CNAME generated by a
117 wildcard which pointed to an unsigned domain, the wrong
118 status would be logged, and some necessary checks omitted.
119
Simon Kelley362c9302015-07-06 21:48:49 +0100120
Simon Kelley00cd9d52014-10-02 21:44:21 +0100121version 2.73
122 Fix crash at startup when an empty suffix is supplied to
123 --conf-dir, also trivial memory leak. Thanks to
124 Tomas Hozza for spotting this.
Simon Kelley800c5cc2014-12-15 17:50:15 +0000125
126 Remove floor of 4096 on advertised EDNS0 packet size when
127 DNSSEC in use, the original rationale for this has long gone.
128 Thanks to Anders Kaseorg for spotting this.
129
Simon Kelleyad946d52014-12-15 17:52:22 +0000130 Use inotify for checking on updates to /etc/resolv.conf and
131 friends under Linux. This fixes race conditions when the files are
Simon Kelley04918052015-01-26 11:23:43 +0000132 updated rapidly and saves CPU by noy polling. To build
133 a binary that runs on old Linux kernels without inotify,
134 use make COPTS=-DNO_INOTIFY
Simon Kelley3ad3f3b2014-12-16 18:25:17 +0000135
136 Fix breakage of --domain=<domain>,<subnet>,local - only reverse
137 queries were intercepted. THis appears to have been broken
138 since 2.69. Thanks to Josh Stone for finding the bug.
Simon Kelley47669362014-12-17 12:41:56 +0000139
140 Eliminate IPv6 privacy addresses and deprecated addresses from
141 the answers given by --interface-name. Note that reverse queries
142 (ie looking for names, given addresses) are not affected.
143 Thanks to Michael Gorbach for the suggestion.
Simon Kelley094b5c32014-12-21 16:11:52 +0000144
145 Fix crash in DNSSEC code with long RRs. Thanks to Marco Davids
146 for the bug report.
Glen Huang32fc6db2014-12-27 15:28:12 +0000147
148 Add --ignore-address option. Ignore replies to A-record
149 queries which include the specified address. No error is
150 generated, dnsmasq simply continues to listen for another
151 reply. This is useful to defeat blocking strategies which
152 rely on quickly supplying a forged answer to a DNS
153 request for certain domains, before the correct answer can
154 arrive. Thanks to Glen Huang for the patch.
Simon Kelleyad946d52014-12-15 17:52:22 +0000155
Simon Kelley97e618a2015-01-07 21:55:43 +0000156 Revisit the part of DNSSEC validation which determines if an
157 unsigned answer is legit, or is in some part of the DNS
158 tree which should be signed. Dnsmasq now works from the
159 DNS root downward looking for the limit of signed
160 delegations, rather than working bottom up. This is
161 both more correct, and less likely to trip over broken
162 nameservers in the unsigned parts of the DNS tree
163 which don't respond well to DNSSEC queries.
Simon Kelley00cd9d52014-10-02 21:44:21 +0100164
Simon Kelley25cf5e32015-01-09 15:53:03 +0000165 Add --log-queries=extra option, which makes logs easier
166 to search automatically.
167
RinSatsuki28de3872015-01-10 15:22:21 +0000168 Add --min-cache-ttl option. I've resisted this for a long
169 time, on the grounds that disbelieving TTLs is never a
170 good idea, but I've been persuaded that there are
171 sometimes reasons to do it. (Step forward, GFW).
172 To avoid misuse, there's a hard limit on the TTL
173 floor of one hour. Thansk to RinSatsuki for the patch.
Simon Kelley39341552015-01-18 22:11:10 +0000174
175 Cope with multiple interfaces with the same link-local
176 address. (IPv6 addresses are scoped, so this is allowed.)
177 Thanks to Cory Benfield for help with this.
Simon Kelley5f4dc5c2015-01-20 20:51:02 +0000178
179 Add --dhcp-hostsdir. This allows addition of new host
180 configurations to a running dnsmasq instance much more
181 cheaply than having dnsmasq re-read all its existing
182 configuration each time.
RinSatsuki28de3872015-01-10 15:22:21 +0000183
Win King Wan61b838d2015-01-21 20:41:48 +0000184 Don't reply to DHCPv6 SOLICIT messages if we're not
185 configured to do stateful DHCPv6. Thanks to Win King Wan
186 for the patch.
187
Simon Kelley6ef15b32015-01-31 22:44:26 +0000188 Fix broken DNSSEC validation of ECDSA signatures.
Simon Kelleyf6e62e22015-03-01 18:17:54 +0000189
190 Add --dnssec-timestamp option, which provides an automatic
Simon Kelley38440b22015-04-12 21:52:47 +0100191 way to detect when the system time becomes valid after
192 boot on systems without an RTC, whilst allowing DNS
193 queries before the clock is valid so that NTP can run.
194 Thanks to Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for developing this idea.
Stefan Tomanek30d08792015-03-31 22:32:11 +0100195
196 Add --tftp-no-fail option. Thanks to Stefan Tomanek for
197 the patch.
Simon Kelley04b0ac02015-04-06 17:19:13 +0100198
Simon Kelley38440b22015-04-12 21:52:47 +0100199 Fix crash caused by looking up servers.bind, CHAOS text
200 record, when more than about five --servers= lines are
201 in the dnsmasq config. This causes memory corruption
202 which causes a crash later. Thanks to Matt Coddington for
203 sterling work chasing this down.
204
205 Fix crash on receipt of certain malformed DNS requests.
206 Thanks to Nick Sampanis for spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley0df29f52015-04-16 15:24:52 +0100207 Note that this is could allow the dnsmasq process's
208 memory to be read by an attacker under certain
209 circumstances, so it has a CVE, CVE-2015-3294
Simon Kelley38440b22015-04-12 21:52:47 +0100210
211 Fix crash in authoritative DNS code, if a .arpa zone
212 is declared as authoritative, and then a PTR query which
213 is not to be treated as authoritative arrived. Normally,
214 directly declaring .arpa zone as authoritative is not
215 done, so this crash wouldn't be seen. Instead the
216 relevant .arpa zone should be specified as a subnet
217 in the auth-zone declaration. Thanks to Johnny S. Lee
218 for the bugreport and initial patch.
Simon Kelley04b0ac02015-04-06 17:19:13 +0100219
Simon Kelley78c61842015-04-16 15:05:30 +0100220 Fix authoritative DNS code to correctly reply to NS
221 and SOA queries for .arpa zones for which we are
222 declared authoritative by means of a subnet in auth-zone.
223 Previously we provided correct answers to PTR queries
224 in such zones (including NS and SOA) but not direct
225 NS and SOA queries. Thanks to Johnny S. Lee for
Simon Kelleya5ae1f82015-04-25 21:46:10 +0100226 pointing out the problem.
227
228 Fix logging of DHCPREPLY which should be suppressed
229 by quiet-dhcp6. Thanks to J. Pablo Abonia for
230 spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley78c61842015-04-16 15:05:30 +0100231
Simon Kelleya77cec82015-05-08 16:25:38 +0100232 Try and handle net connections with broken fragmentation
233 that lose large UDP packets. If a server times out,
234 reduce the maximum UDP packet size field in the EDNS0
235 header to 1280 bytes. If it then answers, make that
236 change permanent.
237
Simon Kelleyb059c962015-05-08 20:25:51 +0100238 Check IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses when --stop-rebind
239 is active. Thanks to Jordan Milne for spotting this.
240
Simon Kelleyca85a282015-05-13 22:33:04 +0100241 Allow DHCPv4 options T1 and T2 to be set using --dhcp-option.
242 Thanks to Kevin Benton for patches and work on this.
243
Simon Kelley89130d92015-06-03 22:30:59 +0100244 Fix code for DHCPCONFIRM DHCPv6 messages to confirm addresses
245 in the correct subnet, even of not in dynamic address
246 allocation range. Thanks to Steve Hirsch for spotting
247 the problem.
Nicolas Cavallaric6d82c92015-06-09 20:42:20 +0100248
249 Add AddDhcpLease and DeleteDhcpLease DBus methods. Thanks
250 to Nicolas Cavallari for the patch.
Neil Jerram4918bd52015-06-10 22:23:20 +0100251
252 Allow configuration of router advertisements without the
253 "on-link" bit set. Thanks to Neil Jerram for the patch.
254
255 Extend --bridge-interface to DHCPv6 and router
256 advertisements. Thanks to Neil Jerram for the patch.
Simon Kelley89130d92015-06-03 22:30:59 +0100257
Simon Kelley97e618a2015-01-07 21:55:43 +0000258
Simon Kelley8e9ffba2014-05-20 20:38:25 +0100259version 2.72
Simon Kelleyc4a09372014-06-02 20:30:07 +0100260 Add ra-advrouter mode, for RFC-3775 mobile IPv6 support.
261
262 Add support for "ipsets" in *BSD, using pf. Thanks to
263 Sven Falempim for the patch.
Simon Kelley8e9ffba2014-05-20 20:38:25 +0100264
Simon Kelleya0358e52014-06-07 13:38:48 +0100265 Fix race condition which could lock up dnsmasq when an
266 interface goes down and up rapidly. Thanks to Conrad
267 Kostecki for helping to chase this down.
Daniel Collinsc4638f92014-06-07 21:21:44 +0100268
269 Add DBus methods SetFilterWin2KOption and SetBogusPrivOption
270 Thanks to the Smoothwall project for the patch.
Simon Kelleycdb755c2014-06-18 20:52:53 +0100271
272 Fix failure to build against Nettle-3.0. Thanks to Steven
273 Barth for spotting this and finding the fix.
Simon Kelleya0358e52014-06-07 13:38:48 +0100274
Simon Kelley6d8e8ac2014-07-13 22:12:45 +0100275 When assigning existing DHCP leases to intefaces by comparing
276 networks, handle the case that two or more interfaces have the
277 same network part, but different prefix lengths (favour the
278 longer prefix length.) Thanks to Lung-Pin Chang for the
279 patch.
280
Simon Kelleyb5ea1cc2014-07-29 16:34:14 +0100281 Add a mode which detects and removes DNS forwarding loops, ie
282 a query sent to an upstream server returns as a new query to
283 dnsmasq, and would therefore be forwarded again, resulting in
284 a query which loops many times before being dropped. Upstream
285 servers which loop back are disabled and this event is logged.
286 Thanks to Smoothwall for their sponsorship of this feature.
287
Simon Kelley3e1551a2014-09-09 21:46:07 +0100288 Extend --conf-dir to allow filtering of files. So
289 --conf-dir=/etc/dnsmasq.d,\*.conf
290 will load all the files in /etc/dnsmasq.d which end in .conf
Ilya Ponetaev5bf50af2014-09-09 12:46:21 +0100291
Simon Kelley288df492014-09-18 21:48:51 +0100292 Fix bug when resulted in NXDOMAIN answers instead of NODATA in
293 some circumstances.
Simon Kelley57826492014-09-18 22:08:58 +0100294
295 Fix bug which caused dnsmasq to become unresponsive if it
296 failed to send packets due to a network interface disappearing.
297 Thanks to Niels Peen for spotting this.
Simon Kelleybf2db4b2014-09-18 22:10:46 +0100298
299 Fix problem with --local-service option on big-endian platforms
300 Thanks to Richard Genoud for the patch.

Simon Kelleyad4a8ff2015-04-09 21:48:00 +0100302
Simon Kelley9d1b22a2014-04-29 13:02:41 +0100303version 2.71
304 Subtle change to error handling to help DNSSEC validation
305 when servers fail to provide NODATA answers for
306 non-existent DS records.
307
308 Tweak code which removes DNSSEC records from answers when
309 not required. Fixes broken answers when additional section
310 has real records in it. Thanks to Marco Davids for the bug
311 report.
312
313 Fix DNSSEC validation of ANY queries. Thanks to Marco Davids
314 for spotting that too.
315
Simon Kelleyb692f232014-05-09 10:29:43 +0100316 Fix total DNS failure and 100% CPU use if cachesize set to zero,
317 regression introduced in 2.69. Thanks to James Hunt and
318 the Ubuntu crowd for assistance in fixing this.
319
Simon Kelley9d1b22a2014-04-29 13:02:41 +0100320
Simon Kelley63758382014-04-16 22:20:55 +0100321version 2.70
322 Fix crash, introduced in 2.69, on TCP request when dnsmasq
323 compiled with DNSSEC support, but running without DNSSEC
324 enabled. Thanks to Manish Sing for spotting that one.
325
Simon Kelley3b1b3e92014-04-23 15:46:05 +0100326 Fix regression which broke ipset functionality. Thanks to
327 Wang Jian for the bug report.

Simon Kelley1ee9be42013-12-09 16:50:19 +0000330version 2.69
331 Implement dynamic interface discovery on *BSD. This allows
332 the contructor: syntax to be used in dhcp-range for DHCPv6
333 on the BSD platform. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
334 valuable research on how to implement this.
335
Simon Kelley8db957d2013-12-17 15:47:10 +0000336 Fix infinite loop associated with some --bogus-nxdomain
Simon Kelley74e6b522013-12-17 21:33:53 +0000337 configs. Thanks fogobogo for the bug report.
Simon Kelley8db957d2013-12-17 15:47:10 +0000338
Simon Kelleyae762422014-01-10 18:15:16 +0000339 Fix missing RA RDNS option with configuration like
340 --dhcp-option=option6:23,[::] Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer
341 for spotting the problem.
342
Simon Kelleyc3a04082014-01-11 22:18:19 +0000343 Add [fd00::] and [fe80::] as special addresses in DHCPv6
344 options, analogous to [::]. [fd00::] is replaced with the
345 actual ULA of the interface on the machine running
346 dnsmasq, [fe80::] with the link-local address.
347 Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer for championing this.
348
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000349 DNSSEC validation and caching. Dnsmasq needs to be
350 compiled with this enabled, with
351
352 make dnsmasq COPTS=-DHAVE_DNSSEC
353
354 this add dependencies on the nettle crypto library and the
355 gmp maths library. It's possible to have these linked
356 statically with
357
358 make dnsmasq COPTS='-DHAVE_DNSSEC -DHAVE_DNSSEC_STATIC'
359
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100360 which bloats the dnsmasq binary, but saves the size of
361 the shared libraries which are much bigger.

Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000363 To enable, DNSSEC, you will need a set of
364 trust-anchors. Now that the TLDs are signed, this can be
365 the keys for the root zone, and for convenience they are
366 included in trust-anchors.conf in the dnsmasq
367 distribution. You should of course check that these are
368 legitimate and up-to-date. So, adding
369
370 conf-file=/path/to/trust-anchors.conf
371 dnssec
Simon Kelley1ee9be42013-12-09 16:50:19 +0000372
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000373 to your config is all thats needed to get things
374 working. The upstream nameservers have to be DNSSEC-capable
375 too, of course. Many ISP nameservers aren't, but the
376 Google public nameservers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) are.
377 When DNSSEC is configured, dnsmasq validates any queries
378 for domains which are signed. Query results which are
379 bogus are replaced with SERVFAIL replies, and results
380 which are correctly signed have the AD bit set. In
381 addition, and just as importantly, dnsmasq supplies
382 correct DNSSEC information to clients which are doing
383 their own validation, and caches DNSKEY, DS and RRSIG
384 records, which significantly improve the performance of
385 downstream validators. Setting --log-queries will show
386 DNSSEC in action.
387
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100388 If a domain is returned from an upstream nameserver without
389 DNSSEC signature, dnsmasq by default trusts this. This
390 means that for unsigned zone (still the majority) there
391 is effectively no cost for having DNSSEC enabled. Of course
392 this allows an attacker to replace a signed record with a
393 false unsigned record. This is addressed by the
394 --dnssec-check-unsigned flag, which instructs dnsmasq
395 to prove that an unsigned record is legitimate, by finding
396 a secure proof that the zone containing the record is not
397 signed. Doing this has costs (typically one or two extra
398 upstream queries). It also has a nasty failure mode if
399 dnsmasq's upstream nameservers are not DNSSEC capable.
400 Without --dnssec-check-unsigned using such an upstream
401 server will simply result in not queries being validated;
402 with --dnssec-check-unsigned enabled and a
403 DNSSEC-ignorant upstream server, _all_ queries will fail.
404
405 Note that DNSSEC requires that the local time is valid and
406 accurate, if not then DNSSEC validation will fail. NTP
407 should be running. This presents a problem for routers
408 without a battery-backed clock. To set the time needs NTP
409 to do DNS lookups, but lookups will fail until NTP has run.
410 To address this, there's a flag, --dnssec-no-timecheck
411 which disables the time checks (only) in DNSSEC. When dnsmasq
412 is started and the clock is not synced, this flag should
413 be used. As soon as the clock is synced, SIGHUP dnsmasq.
414 The SIGHUP clears the cache of partially-validated data and
415 resets the no-timecheck flag, so that all DNSSEC checks
416 henceforward will be complete.
417
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000418 The development of DNSSEC in dnsmasq was started by
419 Giovanni Bajo, to whom huge thanks are owed. It has been
420 supported by Comcast, whose techfund grant has allowed for
421 an invaluable period of full-time work to get it to
422 a workable state.
423
Simon Kelleyde73a492014-02-17 21:43:27 +0000424 Add --rev-server. Thanks to Dave Taht for suggesting this.
Simon Kelley7b1eae42014-02-20 13:43:28 +0000425
426 Add --servers-file. Allows dynamic update of upstream servers
427 full access to configuration.
Simon Kelleyde73a492014-02-17 21:43:27 +0000428
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000429 Add --local-service. Accept DNS queries only from hosts
430 whose address is on a local subnet, ie a subnet for which
431 an interface exists on the server. This option
Simon Kelleyf00690f2014-03-12 20:07:12 +0000432 only has effect if there are no --interface --except-interface,
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000433 --listen-address or --auth-server options. It is intended
434 to be set as a default on installation, to allow
435 unconfigured installations to be useful but also safe from
436 being used for DNS amplification attacks.
437
Simon Kelley604f7592014-03-22 19:33:43 +0000438 Fix crashes in cache_get_cname_target() when dangling CNAMEs
439 encountered. Thanks to Andy and the rt-n56u project for
440 find this and helping to chase it down.
441
Simon Kelley10068602014-04-03 21:16:40 +0100442 Fix wrong RCODE in authoritative DNS replies to PTR queries. The
443 correct answer was included, but the RCODE was set to NXDOMAIN.
444 Thanks to Craig McQueen for spotting this.
445
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100446 Make statistics available as DNS queries in the .bind TLD as
447 well as logging them.

451 Use random addresses for DHCPv6 temporary address
452 allocations, instead of algorithmically determined stable
453 addresses.
454
455 Fix bug which meant that the DHCPv6 DUID was not available
456 in DHCP script runs during the lifetime of the dnsmasq
457 process which created the DUID de-novo. Once the DUID was
458 created and stored in the lease file and dnsmasq
459 restarted, this bug disappeared.
460
461 Fix bug introduced in 2.67 which could result in erroneous
462 NXDOMAIN returns to CNAME queries.
463
464 Fix build failures on MacOS X and openBSD.
465
466 Allow subnet specifications in --auth-zone to be interface
467 names as well as address literals. This makes it possible
468 to configure authoritative DNS when local address ranges
469 are dynamic and works much better than the previous
470 work-around which exempted contructed DHCP ranges from the
471 IP address filtering. As a consequence, that work-around
472 is removed. Under certain circumstances, this change wil
473 break existing configuration: if you're relying on the
474 contructed-range exception, you need to change --auth-zone
475 to specify the same interface as is used to construct your
476 DHCP ranges, probably with a trailing "/6" like this:
477 --auth-zone=example.com,eth0/6 to limit the addresses to
478 IPv6 addresses of eth0.
Simon Kelleydd9d9ce2013-11-15 11:24:00 +0000479
480 Fix problems when advertising deleted IPv6 prefixes. If
481 the prefix is deleted (rather than replaced), it doesn't
482 get advertised with zero preferred time. Thanks to Tsachi
483 for the bug report.
Simon Kelley25439062013-11-25 21:14:51 +0000484
485 Fix segfault with some locally configured CNAMEs. Thanks
486 to Andrew Childs for spotting the problem.

488 Fix memory leak on re-reading /etc/hosts and friends,
489 introduced in 2.67.
Simon Kelley2329bef2013-12-03 13:41:16 +0000490
491 Check the arrival interface of incoming DNS and TFTP
492 requests via IPv6, even in --bind-interfaces mode. This
493 isn't possible for IPv4 and can generate scary warnings,
494 but as it's always possible for IPv6 (the API always
495 exists) then we should do it always.
Vladislav Grishenko4c82efc2013-12-03 16:05:30 +0000496
497 Tweak the rules on prefix-lengths in --dhcp-range for
498 IPv6. The new rule is that the specified prefix length
499 must be larger than or equal to the prefix length of the
500 corresponding address on the local interface.

506 this and supplying the patch.
Simon Kelleyaa63a212013-04-22 15:01:52 +0100507
508 Repair regression in 2.64. That release stopped sending
509 lease-time information in the reply to DHCPINFORM
510 requests, on the correct grounds that it was a standards
511 violation. However, this broke the dnsmasq-specific
512 dhcp_lease_time utility. Now, DHCPINFORM returns
513 lease-time only if it's specifically requested
514 (maintaining standards) and the dhcp_lease_time utility
515 has been taught to ask for it (restoring functionality).
Simon Kelley86e92f92013-04-23 11:31:39 +0100516

527 Handle IPv4 interface-address labels in Linux. These are
528 often used to emulate the old IP-alias addresses. Before,
529 using --interface=eth0 would service all the addresses of
530 eth0, including ones configured as aliases, which appear
531 in ifconfig as eth0:0. Now, only addresses with the label
532 eth0 are active. This is not backwards compatible: if you
533 want to continue to bind the aliases too, you need to add
534 eg. --interface=eth0:0 to the config.

Simon Kelleye2ba0df2013-05-31 17:04:25 +0100555 If wildcards are used in --interface, don't assume that
556 there will only ever be one available interface for DHCP

581 the prefix for up to 2 hours, with the preferred lifetime
582 set to zero. This satisfies RFC 6204 4.3 L-13 and makes

Simon Kelley333b2ce2013-01-07 21:46:03 +0000658version 2.66
659 Add the ability to act as an authoritative DNS
660 server. Dnsmasq can now answer queries from the wider 'net
661 with local data, as long as the correct NS records are set
662 up. Only local data is provided, to avoid creating an open
663 DNS relay. Zone transfer is supported, to allow secondary
664 servers to be configured.
665
666 Add "constructed DHCP ranges" for DHCPv6. This is intended
667 for IPv6 routers which get prefixes dynamically via prefix
668 delegation. With suitable configuration, stateful DHCPv6
669 and RA can happen automatically as prefixes are delegated
670 and then deprecated, without having to re-write the
671 dnsmasq configuration file or restart the daemon. Thanks to
672 Steven Barth for extensive testing and development work on
673 this idea.

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

Simon Kelleyee86ce62012-12-07 11:54:46 +0000726version 2.65
727 Fix regression which broke forwarding of queries sent via
728 TCP which are not for A and AAAA and which were directed to
729 non-default servers. Thanks to Niax for the bug report.
730
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +0000731 Fix failure to build with DHCP support excluded. Thanks to
732 Gustavo Zacarias for the patch.
Simon Kelley1d6c6392012-12-14 11:19:36 +0000733
734 Fix nasty regression in 2.64 which completely broke cacheing.
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +0000735
736
Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +0100737version 2.64
738 Handle DHCP FQDN options with all flag bits zero and
739 --dhcp-client-update set. Thanks to Bernd Krumbroeck for
740 spotting the problem.
741
Simon Kelley12d71ed2012-08-30 15:16:41 +0100742 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
743 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
744 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
745 generate a warning. Now that only happesn if there is not
746 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in
747 /etc/hosts with one of them assigned via DHCP.
748
Simon Kelley4d0f5b42012-09-05 23:29:30 +0100749 Fix broken vendor-option processing for BOOTP. Thanks to
750 Hans-Joachim Baader for the bug report.
751
Simon Kelleydfb23b32012-09-18 21:44:47 +0100752 Don't report spurious netlink errors, regression in
753 2.63. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
754
Simon Kelley2b127a12012-09-18 21:51:22 +0100755 Flag DHCP or DHCPv6 in starup logging. Thanks to
756 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
757
Simon Kelley295a54e2012-12-01 21:02:15 +0000758 Add SetServersEx method in DBus interface. Thanks to Dan
Simon Kelleyfaafb3f2012-09-20 14:17:39 +0100759 Williams for the patch.
760
Simon Kelley295a54e2012-12-01 21:02:15 +0000761 Add SetDomainServers method in DBus interface. Thanks to
762 Roy Marples for the patch.
763
Simon Kelley289a2532012-09-20 15:29:35 +0100764 Fix build with later Lua libraries. Thansk to Cristian
765 Rodriguez for the patch.
Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +0100766
Simon Kelley1d860412012-09-20 20:48:04 +0100767 Add --max-cache-ttl option. Thanks to Dennis Kaarsemaker
768 for the patch.
769
Simon Kelleye4807d82012-09-27 21:52:26 +0100770 Fix breakage of --host-record parsing, resulting in
771 infinte loop at startup. Regression in 2.63. Thanks to
772 Haim Gelfenbeyn for spotting this.
773
Simon Kelley20223102012-10-15 10:41:17 +0100774 Set SO_REUSEADDRESS and SO_V6ONLY options on the DHCPv6
775 socket, this allows multiple instances of dnsmasq on a
776 single machine, in the same way as for DHCPv4. Thanks to
777 Gene Czarcinski and Vladislav Grishenko for work on this.
778
Simon Kelleybe6cfb42012-10-16 20:38:31 +0100779 Fix DHCPv6 to do access control correctly when it's
780 configured with --listen-address. Thanks to
781 Gene Czarcinski for sorting this out.
782
Simon Kelley819ff4d2012-10-21 18:25:12 +0100783 Add a "wildcard" dhcp-range which works for any IPv6
784 subnet, --dhcp-range=::,static Useful for Stateless
785 DHCPv6. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
786
Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +0000787 Don't include lease-time in DHCPACK replies to DHCPINFORM
788 queries, since RFC-2131 says we shouldn't. Thanks to
789 Wouter Ibens for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley8e4b8792012-11-14 14:12:56 +0000790
791 Makefile tweak to do dependency checking on header files.
792 Thanks to Johan Peeters for the patch.
Simon Kelleyd89fb4e2012-12-01 21:21:13 +0000793
794 Check interface for outgoing unsolicited router
795 advertisements, rather than relying on interface address
796 configuration. Thanks to Gene Czarinski for the patch.
Simon Kelley29d28dd2012-12-03 14:05:59 +0000797
798 Handle better attempts to transmit on interfaces which are
799 still doing DAD, and specifically do not just transmit
800 without setting source address and interface, since this
801 can cause very puzzling effects when a router
802 advertisement goes astray. Thanks again to Gene Czarinski.
803
804 Get RA timers right when there is more than one
805 dhcp-range on a subnet.
Simon Kelley289a2532012-09-20 15:29:35 +0100806

Simon Kelley078a6302012-06-07 13:56:23 +0100808version 2.63
809 Do duplicate dhcp-host address check in --test mode.
810
Simon Kelley8b3ae2f2012-06-13 13:43:49 +0100811 Check that tftp-root directories are accessible before
812 start-up. Thanks to Daniel Veillard for the initial patch.
813
814 Allow more than one --tfp-root flag. The per-interface
815 stuff is pointless without that.
816
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100817 Add --bind-dynamic. A hybrid mode between the default and
818 --bind-interfaces which copes with dynamically created
819 interfaces.
Simon Kelley6b617c02012-06-29 21:15:42 +0100820
821 A couple of fixes to the build system for Android. Thanks
822 to Metin Kaya for the patches.
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100823
Simon Kelley8bc4cec2012-07-03 21:04:11 +0100824 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
825 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
826 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
827 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
828 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
829 superceded by other mechanisms.
830
Simon Kelleyc4a7f902012-07-12 20:52:12 +0100831 Fixed bug logging filenames when duplicate dhcp-host
832 addresses are found. Thanks to John Hanks for the patch.
833
Simon Kelley611ebc52012-07-16 16:23:46 +0100834 Fix regression in 2.61 which broke caching of CNAME
835 chains. Thanks to Atul Gupta for the bug report.
836
Simon Kelleyb2714462012-07-17 12:09:26 +0100837 Allow the target of a --cname flag to be another --cname.
Simon Kelley611ebc52012-07-16 16:23:46 +0100838
Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +0100839 Teach DHCPv6 about the RFC 4242 information-refresh-time
840 option, and add parsing if the minutes, hours and days
841 format for options. Thanks to Francois-Xavier Le Bail for
842 the suggestion.
843
844 Allow "w" (for week) as multiplier in lease times, as well
845 as seconds, minutes, hours and days. Álvaro Gámez Machado
846 spotted the ommission.
Simon Kelleyc4c04882012-08-06 20:09:15 +0100847
848 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +0100849
Simon Kelleyad094272012-08-10 17:10:54 +0100850 Allow a DBus service name to be given with --enable-dbus
851 which overrides the default,
852 uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq. Thanks to Mathieu
853 Trudel-Lapierre for the patch.
854
Simon Kelleyfd05f122012-08-12 17:48:50 +0100855 Set the "prefix on-link" bit in Router
856 Advertisements. Thanks to Gui Iribarren for the patch.
857
Simon Kelley078a6302012-06-07 13:56:23 +0100858
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100859version 2.62
860 Update German translation. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki.
861
Simon Kelleyf632e562012-05-12 15:05:34 +0100862 Cope with router-solict packets wich don't have a valid
863 source address. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
864
Simon Kelley919dd7c2012-05-12 15:23:09 +0100865 Fixed bug which caused missing periodic router
866 advertisements with some configurations. Thanks to
867 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
868
Simon Kelleyc64b7f62012-05-18 10:19:59 +0100869 Fixed bug which broke DHCPv6/RA with prefix lengths
870 which are not divisible by 8. Thanks to Andre Coetzee
871 for spotting this.
872
Simon Kelley18c63ef2012-05-21 14:34:15 +0100873 Fix non-response to router-solicitations when
874 router-advertisement configured, but DHCPv6 not
875 configured. Thanks to Marien Zwart for the patch.
876
Simon Kelley9f7f3b12012-05-28 21:39:57 +0100877 Add --dns-rr, to allow arbitrary DNS resource records.
878
Simon Kelley5ae34bf2012-06-04 21:14:03 +0100879 Fixed bug which broke RA scheduling when an interface had
880 two addresses in the same network. Thanks to Jim Bos for
881 his help nailing this.
882
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000883version 2.61
884 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use
885 getifaddrs. This is more portable, more straightforward,
886 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
887 addresses.
888
Simon Kelley01d1b8d2012-03-28 21:37:25 +0100889 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
890 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
891 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
892 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
893 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
894 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.
Simon Kelley7023e382012-03-09 12:05:49 +0000895
Simon Kelley8b372702012-03-09 17:45:10 +0000896 Add --dhcp-duid to allow DUID-EN uids to be used.
897
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000898 Explicity send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
899 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
900 source address, since at least one client in the wild gets
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100901 this wrong. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki for help tracking
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000902 this down.
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000903
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +0000904 Send a preference value of 255 in DHCPv6 replies when
905 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
906 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
907
908 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
909
Simon Kelleye759d422012-03-16 13:18:57 +0000910 Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the
911 suggestion.
912
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000913 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
914 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
915 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
916 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilties
917 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
918 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
919 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
920 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
921 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
922 Gadgil.
923
924 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
925 the above.
926
927 Set the environment variable DNSMASQ_LOG_DHCP when running
928 the script id --log-dhcp is in effect, so that script can
Simon Kelley52d4abf2012-03-21 21:39:48 +0000929 taylor their logging verbosity. Suggestion from Malte
930 Forkel.
931
932 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
933 work even if there is no interface carrying the
934 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
935 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
936 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
937 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
938 the idea and initial patch.
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +0000939
Simon Kelley7d2b5c92012-03-23 10:00:02 +0000940 Fix crash, introduced in 2.60, when a DHCPINFORM is
941 received from a network which has no valid dhcp-range.
942 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
943
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +0100944 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
945 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
946 preffered lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
947 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
948 for existing connections, but new connections will use
949 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
950 renumbering at least possible.
951
952 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +0100953 aquisition to fail if more than one dhcp-range in use.
Simon Kelley18f0fb02012-03-31 21:18:55 +0100954
955 Provide RDNSS and DNSSL data in router advertisements,
956 using the settings provided for DHCP options
957 option6:domain-search and option6:dns-server.
Simon Kelley6c559c32012-04-02 20:40:34 +0100958

Simon Kelley1023dcb2012-04-09 18:00:08 +0100962 Don't cache data from non-recursive nameservers, since it

Simon Kelley9380ba72012-04-16 14:41:56 +0100968 makes the OpenStack use-case of one dnsmasq per virtual
969 interface work. This is only available on Linux; it's not
970 supported on other platforms. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya
Simon Kelleye46164e2012-04-16 16:39:38 +0100971 and the OpenStack team for the suggestion.

Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +0100993
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +0000994 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
995 which is not the primary address of an interface.
996
997 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
998
999 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
1000 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
1001 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
1002 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
1003 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
1004 implementation.
1005
1006 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
1007 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
1008 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
1009 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
1010 set them from the make command line.
1011
1012 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
1013 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.
1014
1015 Set TOS on DHCP sockets, this improves things on busy
1016 wireless networks. Thanks to Dave Taht for the patch.
1017
Simon Kelley984d2fd2012-01-06 14:34:32 +00001018 Determine VERSION automatically based on git magic:
1019 release tags or hash values.

Simon Kelleya2761752012-01-18 16:07:21 +00001021 Improve start-up speed when reading large hosts files
1022 containing many distinct addresses.
1023
1024 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
1025 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
1026 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
1027 this.
1028
Simon Kelley9bbc8872012-02-09 21:33:09 +00001029 Fix shell-scripting bug in bld/pkg-wrapper. Thanks to
1030 Mark Mitchell for the patch.
1031
Simon Kelley751d6f42012-02-10 15:24:51 +00001032 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
1033 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
1034 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
1035 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
1036
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +00001037 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
1038 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
1039 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
1040 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
Simon Kelleye5ffdb92012-02-13 14:19:25 +00001041 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
Simon Kelleyb36ae192012-02-13 12:54:34 +00001042 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
1043
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +00001044 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
1045 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
1046 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
1047 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
1048 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
1049 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
1050 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
1051 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
1052 These will be added as the standards mature.
1053 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
1054 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
1055 testers who have got it this far.
Simon Kelley1adadf52012-02-13 22:15:58 +00001056
Simon Kelleyac8540c2012-02-26 20:57:31 +00001057 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
1058 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
1059 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
1060 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
1061 enabling with --enable-ra.
1062
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +00001063 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
1064 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive
1065 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
1066 Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.

Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +00001073version 2.59
1074 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
1075 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
1076 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
1077 report.
1078
1079 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
1080 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
1081 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
1082 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
1083 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
1084 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
1085 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
1086 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
1087 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.

Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001090version 2.58
1091 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
1092 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
1093
1094 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
1095 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
1096 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
1097
1098 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
1099 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
1100 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
1101 server-deployment applications need this.
1102
1103 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
1104 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
1105 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
1106 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
1107 in chasing this one down.
1108
1109 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
1110 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
1111 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
1112 the problem.
1113
1114 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
1115 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
1116 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
1117 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
1118 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
1119 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
1120
1121 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
1122 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
1123 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
1124 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
1125 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
1126 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
1127 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
1128 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
1129
1130 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
1131 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
1132
1133 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
1134 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
1135 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
1136 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
1137
1138 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
1139 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
1140
1141 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
1142 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
1143 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
1144 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
1145 Agrawal for the patch.
1146
1147 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
1148 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
1149 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
1150 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
1151 per-network values. So
1152 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
1153 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
1154 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
1155 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
1156 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
1157 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
1158
1159 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
1160 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
1161 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
1162 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
1163 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
1164 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
1165 a comprehensive test-case.
1166
1167 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
1168 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
Simon Kelleyde604c12012-10-19 09:50:01 +01001169 length. Many thanks to Loic Pefferkorn for finding this.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001170
1171 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
1172 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
1173 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
1174 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to
1175 Michael Stapelberg for the suggestion.
1176
1177 Update Polish translation, thanks to Jan Psota.
1178
1179 Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1180
1181
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +00001182version 2.57
1183 Add patches to allow build under Android.
1184
1185 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
1186 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
1187 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
1188 effectively empty on Android.
1189
1190 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
1191 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
1192 wildcard.
1193
1194 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
1195 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
1196 spotting this.
1197
1198 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
1199 IDN support continues to be included automatically
1200 when i18n is included.
1201 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
1202
1203 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
1204 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
1205 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.
1206
1207
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001208version 2.56
1209 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
1210 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
1211
1212 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
1213 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
1214 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
1215 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
1216
1217 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
1218 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
1219
1220 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
1221 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
1222 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
1223
1224 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
1225 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
1226 syslogd.
1227
1228 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
1229 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
1230 Petrin for the orignal patch.
1231
1232 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
1233 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
1234 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
1235
1236 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
1237 option, on the command line.
1238
1239 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
1240 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
1241
1242 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
1243 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the
1244 other end of stderr can be assumned to supply them. Thanks
1245 to John Hallam for the patch.
1246
1247 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
1248 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
1249 character chunks instead.
1250
1251 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
1252 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
1253 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
1254 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
1255
1256 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
1257 transfer has completed succesfully.
1258
1259 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
1260 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
1261 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
1262 which automatically creates
1263 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
1264 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
1265
1266 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
1267 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
1268
1269 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
1270 thanks for that.
1271
1272 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
1273 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
1274 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
1275 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
1276 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
1277 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
1278 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
1279 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
1280 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
1281
1282 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
1283 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
1284 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
1285 set.
1286
1287 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
1288 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
1289
1290 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
1291 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
1292 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
1293
1294 Edit
1295 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
1296 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
1297 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
1298
1299 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
1300 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
1301 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
1302 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
1303 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
1304 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
1305 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
1306 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
1307 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
1308 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
1309 So:
1310 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
1311 --server=/google.com/#
1312 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
1313 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
1314 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
1315 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
1316 William for pointing out the need for this.
1317
1318 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
1319 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
1320 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
1321
1322 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
1323 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
1324 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
1325 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.
1326
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +00001327 Fix cosmetic bug which produced strange output when

1349 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
1350 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
1351
1352 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
1353 generated by gcc 4.4.
1354
1355 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
1356 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
1357
1358 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
1359 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
1360 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
1361
1362 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
1363 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
1364 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
1365 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
1366 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
1367 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
1368 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
1369 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
1370 the documentation and new-style config files should be
1371 much less confusing.
1372
1373 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
1374 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
1375 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
1376
1377 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
1378
1379 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
1380
1381 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
1382 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
1383 finding this.
1384
1385 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
1386 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
1387 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
1388 from the client.
1389
1390 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
1391 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
1392 finding this.
1393
1394 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
1395 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
1396 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
1397 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
1398 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
1399 server-override option.
1400
1401 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
1402 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
1403 allows a single line of the form
1404 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
1405 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
1406 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
1407 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
1408 irrespective of the existance or lack of
1409 interface=<interface>
1410 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
1411 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
1412 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
1413 configuration.
1414
1415 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
1416
1417 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
1418 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
1419
1420 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
1421 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
1422 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
1423 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
1424
1425 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
1426 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
1427 file, not the process/descriptor.
1428
1429 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
1430 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
1431
1432 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
1433 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
1434 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
1435 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
1436 this and testing the fix.
1437
1438 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
1439 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
1440 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
1441
1442 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
1443 upstream servers: this allows something like
1444 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
1445 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
1446 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
1447 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
1448
1449 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
1450 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
1451 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
1452 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
1453 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
1454 work on this.
1455
1456 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
1457 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
1458 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
1459 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
1460 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
1461 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
1462 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
1463
1464 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
1465
1466 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
1467 than one server available for a domain, eg.
1468 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
1469 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
1470 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
1471 here.
1472
1473 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
1474
1475 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
1476 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1477
1478 Fix regression which caused configuration like
1479 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
1480 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
1481 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
1482 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
1483
1484 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
1485 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1486
1487 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
1488 is set.
1489
1490 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
1491 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.
1492

1498
1499 Added contrib/static-arp, thanks to Darren Hoo.
1500
1501 Fix corruption of the domain when a name from /etc/hosts
1502 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
1503 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
1504

Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001508version 2.52
1509 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
1510 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
1511 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
1512 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
1513 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
1514 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
1515 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
1516 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
1517
1518 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
1519 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
1520 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
1521 necessary for some *WRT distros.
1522
1523 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
1524 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
1525 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
1526 when dnsmasq is first started.
1527
1528 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
1529 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
1530 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
1531 with certain clients.
1532
1533 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
1534 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
1535 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
1536
1537 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
1538 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
1539 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
1540 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
1541 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
1542 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
1543 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
1544 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
1545 numbers delimited by dots.
1546
1547 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
1548 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
1549
1550 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
1551 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
1552
1553 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
1554 contrib/Solaris10.
1555
1556 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
1557 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
1558 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
1559 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
1560 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
1561 addresses available in such an installation removes a
1562 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
1563
1564 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
1565 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
1566 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
1567 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
1568
1569 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
1570 the lease-change script in the environment variable
1571 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
1572
1573 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
1574 Options". The syntax looks like this:
1575 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
1576
1577 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
1578 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
1579 looks like this:
1580 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
1581
1582 Add some application specific code to assist in
1583 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
1584 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
1585
1586 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
1587 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
1588 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
1589 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
1590
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001591 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001592 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
1593
1594 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
1595 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
1596 this.
1597
1598 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
1599 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
1600 providing this.
1601
1602 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.
1603 Thanks to Oschtan for the bug report.
1604
1605 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1606
1607 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1608
1609 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1610
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001611 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
1612 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
1613 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
1614 finding and analysing the problem.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001615
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001616
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001617version 2.51
1618 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
1619 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
1620 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
1621 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
1622 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
1623 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
1624 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
1625 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
1626 suggestion.
1627
1628 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
1629 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
1630 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
1631 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
1632 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
1633 a DHCP relay, if used.
1634 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
1635
1636 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
1637 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
1638
1639 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
1640 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
1641 dhcp-option-force.
1642
1643 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
1644 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
1645 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
1646
1647 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
1648 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
1649 the patch.
1650
1651 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1652
1653 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
1654 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
1655
1656 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
1657 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
1658 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
1659 suggestion.
1660
1661 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
1662 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
1663 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
1664 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
1665 dhcp-optsfile.
1666
1667 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
1668 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
1669 is retried. This should improve performance when there
1670 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
1671 suggestion.
1672
1673 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
1674 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
1675 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
1676 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
1677 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
1678
1679 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
1680 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
1681 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
1682 fragmented packets.
1683
1684 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
1685 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
1686
1687 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +01001690version 2.50
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001691 Fix security problem which allowed any host permitted to
Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +01001692 do TFTP to possibly compromise dnsmasq by remote buffer
1693 overflow when TFTP enabled. Thanks to Core Security
1694 Technologies and Iván Arce, Pablo Hernán Jorge, Alejandro
1695 Pablo Rodriguez, Martín Coco, Alberto Soliño Testa and
1696 Pablo Annetta. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36121
1697 and CVE: 2009-2957
1698
1699 Fix a problem which allowed a malicious TFTP client to
1700 crash dnsmasq. Thanks to Steve Grubb at Red Hat for
1701 spotting this. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36120 and
1702 CVE: 2009-2958

1704
Simon Kelley03a97b62009-06-10 20:55:49 +01001705version 2.49
1706 Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
1707 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
1708
1709 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
1710 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
1711 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
1712 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
1713
1714 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

1716
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001717version 2.48
1718 Archived the extensive, backwards, changelog to
1719 CHANGELOG.archive. The current changelog now runs from
1720 version 2.43 and runs conventionally.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001721
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001722 Fixed bug which broke binding of servers to physical
1723 interfaces when interface names were longer than four
1724 characters. Thanks to MURASE Katsunori for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001725
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001726 Fixed netlink code to check that messages come from the
1727 correct source, and not another userspace process. Thanks
1728 to Steve Grubb for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001729
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001730 Maintainability drive: removed bug and missing feature
1731 workarounds for some old platforms. Solaris 9, OpenBSD
1732 older than 4.1, Glibc older than 2.2, Linux 2.2.x and
1733 DBus older than 1.1.x are no longer supported.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001734
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001735 Don't read included configuration files more than once:
1736 allows complex configuration structures without problems.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001737
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001738 Mark log messages from the various subsystems in dnsmasq:
1739 messages from the DHCP subsystem now have the ident string
1740 "dnsmasq-dhcp" and messages from TFTP have ident
1741 "dnsmasq-tftp". Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001742
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001743 Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
1744 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
1745 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001746
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001747 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
1748 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
1749 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001750
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001751 Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001752
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001753 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
1754 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
1755 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
1756 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
1757 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
1758 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
1759 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
1760 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
1761 and Michael Brown for assistance.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001762
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001763 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
1764 useful suggestions.
1765
1766 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
1767 this, edit src/config.h or build with
1768 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
1769
1770 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
1771 configuration files only.
Simon Kelley33820b72004-04-03 21:10:00 +01001772
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001773 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley73a08a22009-02-05 20:28:08 +00001775
1776version 2.47
1777 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1778
1779 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
1780 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
1781
1782 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
1783 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
1784 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overriden in CFLAGS.
1785
1786 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1787 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1788 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1789 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1790 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1791 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1792 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1793 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1794 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1795 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1796 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1797 Krafft for the bug report.
1798
1799 Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.
1800
1801 Update Dbus configuration file. Patch from Colin Walters.
1802 Fix for this bug:
1803 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18961
1804
1805 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
1806 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
1807 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
1808 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
1809
1810 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
1811 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
1812
1813 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
1814
1815 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
1816 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
1817 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
1818 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
1819 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
1820
1821 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
1822 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
1823
1824 No longer complain about blank lines in
1825 /etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
1826
1827 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
1828 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
1829 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
1830 for the bug report.
1831
1832 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
1833 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
1834 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
1835 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
1836
1837 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
1838 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
1839 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
1840 as before.
1841 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
1842 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
1843 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
1844
1845 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
1846 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
1847 Windows even when using supernetting.
1848 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1849 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1850 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1851 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
1852
1853 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1854
1855 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1856 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1857 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1858 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1859 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1860 directory owned and write-able by the user running
1861 dnsmasq.
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001862
1863
1864version 2.46
1865 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
1866 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
1867 suggestion.
1868
1869 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
1870 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
1871 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
1872 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
1873 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
1874
1875 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
1876 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
1877 based in their IP address.
1878
1879 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1880 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1881 a domain associated with each client, and only
1882 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1883 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
1884 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
1885 long as they are in different domains.
1886
1887 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
1888 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
1889 have now that it's variable.
1890
1891 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
1892 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
1893 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
1894 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
1895 potential.
1896
1897 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
1898 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
1899 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
1900
1901 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
1902 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
1903
1904 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
1905 which the DHCP request was received.
1906
1907 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
1908 Laine for the patch.
1909
1910 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
1911 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
1912
1913 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1914 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1915 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1916 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1917 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1918 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1919 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1920 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1921 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1922 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1923 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
1924
1925 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
1926 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
1927 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
1928 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
1929 improvement.
1930
1931 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
1932 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
1933 suggestions on this.
1934
1935 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
1936 Fisher.
1937
1938 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1939
1940 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
1941 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
1942
1943 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1944
1945 Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
1946 up" event occurs.
1947
1948
1949version 2.45
1950 Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
1951 specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
1952 bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
1953 break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
1954
1955
1956version 2.44
1957 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
1958 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
1959 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
1960
1961 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
1962 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
1963 never been reported in the wild.
1964
1965 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
1966 Jean Wolter for finding this.
1967
1968 Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
1969 is large.
1970
1971 Patch to enable compilation of latest Mac OS X. Thanks to
1972 David Gilman.

1980 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
1981 illegally.
1982
1983 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
1984
1985 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
1986 format.
1987
1988 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
1989 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
1990 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
1991 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
1992 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
1993
1994 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
1995 Rack for the bug report.
1996
1997 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
1998 Bergquist.
1999
2000 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
2001 option.
2002
2003 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
2004 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
2005
2006 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
2007 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
2008
2009 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
2010 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
2011 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
2012 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
2013 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
2014 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
2015 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
2016 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
2017 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
2018 suggestions.
2019
2020 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
2021 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
2022 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
2023
2024 Implement random source ports for interactions with
2025 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
2026 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
2027 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
2028 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
2029 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
2030 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
2031 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
2032 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
2033 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
2034
2035 Replace the random number generator, for better
2036 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
2037 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
2038 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
2039 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
2040 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
2041 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
2042
2043 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
2044 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
2045 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
2046 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
2047 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
2048
2049 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
