version 2.87
Allow arbitrary prefix lengths in --rev-server and
--domain=....,local
Replace --address=/#/..... functionality which got
missed in the 2.86 domain search rewrite.
version 2.86
Handle DHCPREBIND requests in the DHCPv6 server code.
Thanks to Aichun Li for spotting this omission, and the initial
patch.
Fix bug which caused dnsmasq to lose track of processes forked
to handle TCP DNS connections under heavy load. The code
checked that at least one free process table slot was
available before listening on TCP sockets, but didn't take
into account that more than one TCP connection could
arrive, so that check was not sufficient to ensure that
there would be slots for all new processes. It compounded
this error by silently failing to store the process when
it did run out of slots. Even when this bug is triggered,
all the right things happen, and answers are still returned.
Only under very exceptional circumstances, does the bug
manifest itself: see
https://lists.thekelleys.org.uk/pipermail/dnsmasq-discuss/2021q2/014976.html
Thanks to Tijs Van Buggenhout for finding the conditions under
which the bug manifests itself, and then working out
exactly what was going on.
Major rewrite of the DNS server and domain handling code.
This should be largely transparent, but it drastically
improves performance and reduces memory foot-print when
configuring large numbers domains of the form
local=/adserver.com/
or
local=/adserver.com/#
Lookup times now grow as log-to-base-2 of the number of domains,
rather than greater than linearly, as before.
The change makes multiple addresses associated with a domain work
address=/example.com/1.2.3.4
address=/example.com/5.6.7.8
It also handles multiple upstream servers for a domain better; using
the same try/retry algorithms as non domain-specific servers. This
also applies to DNSSEC-generated queries.
Finally, some of the oldest and gnarliest code in dnsmasq has had
a significant clean-up. It's far from perfect, but it _is_ better.
Revise resource handling for number of concurrent DNS queries. This
used to have a global limit, but that has a problem when using
different servers for different upstream domains. Queries which are
routed by domain to an upstream server which is not responding will
build up and trigger the limit, which breaks DNS service for
all other domains which could be handled by other servers. The
change is to make the limit per server-group, where a server group
is the set of servers configured for a particular domain. In the
common case, where only default servers are declared, there is
no effective change.
Improve efficiency of DNSSEC. The sharing point for DNSSEC RR data
used to be when it entered the cache, having been validated. After
that queries requiring the KEY or DS records would share the cached
values. There is a common case in dual-stack hosts that queries for
A and AAAA records for the same domain are made simultaneously.
If required keys were not in the cache, this would result in two
requests being sent upstream for the same key data (and all the
subsequent chain-of-trust queries.) Now we combine these requests
and elide the duplicates, resulting in fewer queries upstream
and better performance. To keep a better handle on what's
going on, the "extra" logging mode has been modified to associate
queries and answers for DNSSEC queries in the same way as ordinary
queries. The requesting address and port have been removed from
DNSSEC logging lines, since this is no longer strictly defined.
Connection track mark based DNS query filtering. Thanks to
Etan Kissling for implementing this It extends query filtering
support beyond what is currently possible
with the `--ipset` configuration option, by adding support for:
1) Specifying allowlists on a per-client basis, based on their
associated Linux connection track mark.
2) Dynamic configuration of allowlists via Ubus.
3) Reporting when a DNS query resolves or is rejected via Ubus.
4) DNS name patterns containing wildcards.
Disallowed queries are not forwarded; they are rejected
with a REFUSED error code.
Allow smaller than 64 prefix lengths in synth-domain, with caveats.
--synth-domain=1234:4567::/56,example.com is now valid.
Make domains generated by --synth-domain appear in replies
when in authoritative mode.
Ensure CAP_NET_ADMIN capability is available when
conntrack is configured. Thanks to Yick Xie for spotting
the lack of this.
When --dhcp-hostsfile --dhcp-optsfile and --addn-hosts are
given a directory as argument, define the order in which
files within that directory are read (alphabetical order
of filename). Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the initial patch
and motivation for this.
version 2.85
Fix problem with DNS retries in 2.83/2.84.
The new logic in 2.83/2.84 which merges distinct requests
for the same domain causes problems with clients which do
retries as distinct requests (differing IDs and/or source ports.)
The retries just get piggy-backed on the first, failed, request.
The logic is now changed so that distinct requests for repeated
queries still get merged into a single ID/source port, but
they now always trigger a re-try upstream.
Thanks to Nicholas Mu for his analysis.
Tweak sort order of tags in get-version. v2.84 sorts
before v2.83, but v2.83 sorts before v2.83rc1 and 2.83rc1
sorts before v2.83test1. This fixes the problem which lead
to 2.84 announcing itself as 2.84rc2.
Avoid treating a --dhcp-host which has an IPv6 address
as eligible for use with DHCPv4 on the grounds that it has
no address, and vice-versa. Thanks to Viktor Papp for
spotting the problem. (This bug was fixed was back in 2.67, and
then regressed in 2.81).
Add --dynamic-host option: A and AAAA records which take their
network part from the network of a local interface. Useful
for routers with dynamically prefixes. Thanks
to Fred F for the suggestion.
Teach --bogus-nxdomain and --ignore-address to take an IPv4 subnet.
Use random source ports where possible if source
addresses/interfaces in use.
CVE-2021-3448 applies. Thanks to Petr Menšík for spotting this.
It's possible to specify the source address or interface to be
used when contacting upstream name servers: server=8.8.8.8@1.2.3.4
or server=8.8.8.8@1.2.3.4#66 or server=8.8.8.8@eth0, and all of
these have, until now, used a single socket, bound to a fixed
port. This was originally done to allow an error (non-existent
interface, or non-local address) to be detected at start-up. This
means that any upstream servers specified in such a way don't use
random source ports, and are more susceptible to cache-poisoning
attacks.
We now use random ports where possible, even when the
source is specified, so server=8.8.8.8@1.2.3.4 or
server=8.8.8.8@eth0 will use random source
ports. server=8.8.8.8@1.2.3.4#66 or any use of --query-port will
use the explicitly configured port, and should only be done with
understanding of the security implications.
Note that this change changes non-existing interface, or non-local
source address errors from fatal to run-time. The error will be
logged and communication with the server not possible.
Change the method of allocation of random source ports for DNS.
Previously, without min-port or max-port configured, dnsmasq would
default to the compiled in defaults for those, which are 1024 and
65535. Now, when neither are configured, it defaults instead to
the kernel's ephemeral port range, which is typically
32768 to 60999 on Linux systems. This change eliminates the
possibility that dnsmasq may be using a registered port > 1024
when a long-running daemon starts up and wishes to claim it.
This change does likely slightly reduce the number of random ports
and therefore the protection from reply spoofing. The older
behaviour can be restored using the min-port and max-port config
switches should that be a concern.
Scale the size of the DNS random-port pool based on the
value of the --dns-forward-max configuration.
Tweak TFTP code to check sender of all received packets, as
specified in RFC 1350 para 4.
Support some wildcard matching of input tags to --tag-if.
Thanks to Geoff Back for the idea and the patch.
version 2.84
Fix a problem, introduced in 2.83, which could see DNS replies
being sent via the wrong socket. On machines running both
IPv4 and IPv6 this could result in sporadic messages of
the form "failed to send packet: Network is unreachable" and
the lost of the query. Since the error is sporadic and of
low probability, the client retry would normally succeed.
Change HAVE_NETTLEHASH compile-time to HAVE_CRYPTOHASH.
version 2.83
Use the values of --min-port and --max-port in outgoing
TCP connections to upstream DNS servers.
Fix a remote buffer overflow problem in the DNSSEC code. Any
dnsmasq with DNSSEC compiled in and enabled is vulnerable to this,
referenced by CVE-2020-25681, CVE-2020-25682, CVE-2020-25683
CVE-2020-25687.
Be sure to only accept UDP DNS query replies at the address
from which the query was originated. This keeps as much entropy
in the {query-ID, random-port} tuple as possible, to help defeat
cache poisoning attacks. Refer: CVE-2020-25684.
Use the SHA-256 hash function to verify that DNS answers
received are for the questions originally asked. This replaces
the slightly insecure SHA-1 (when compiled with DNSSEC) or
the very insecure CRC32 (otherwise). Refer: CVE-2020-25685.
Handle multiple identical near simultaneous DNS queries better.
Previously, such queries would all be forwarded
independently. This is, in theory, inefficient but in practise
not a problem, _except_ that is means that an answer for any
of the forwarded queries will be accepted and cached.
An attacker can send a query multiple times, and for each repeat,
another {port, ID} becomes capable of accepting the answer he is
sending in the blind, to random IDs and ports. The chance of a
successful attack is therefore multiplied by the number of repeats
of the query. The new behaviour detects repeated queries and
merely stores the clients sending repeats so that when the
first query completes, the answer can be sent to all the
clients who asked. Refer: CVE-2020-25686.
version 2.82
Improve behaviour in the face of network interfaces which come
and go and change index. Thanks to Petr Mensik for the patch.
Convert hard startup failure on NETLINK_NO_ENOBUFS under qemu-user
to a warning.
Allow IPv6 addresses ofthe form [::ffff:1.2.3.4] in --dhcp-option.
Fix crash under heavy TCP connection load introduced in 2.81.
Thanks to Frank for good work chasing this down.
Change default lease time for DHCPv6 to one day.
Alter calculation of preferred and valid times in router
advertisements, so that these do not have a floor applied
of the lease time in the dhcp-range if this is not explicitly
specified and is merely the default.
Thanks to Martin-Éric Racine for suggestions on this.
version 2.81
Improve cache behaviour for TCP connections. For ease of
implementation, dnsmasq has always forked a new process to handle
each incoming TCP connection. A side-effect of this is that
any DNS queries answered from TCP connections are not cached:
when TCP connections were rare, this was not a problem.
With the coming of DNSSEC, it is now the case that some
DNSSEC queries have answers which spill to TCP, and if,
for instance, this applies to the keys for the root, then
those never get cached, and performance is very bad.
This fix passes cache entries back from the TCP child process to
the main server process, and fixes the problem.
Remove the NO_FORK compile-time option, and support for uclinux.
In an era where everything has an MMU, this looks like
an anachronism, and it adds to (Ok, multiplies!) the
combinatorial explosion of compile-time options. Thanks to
Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for the patch.
Fix line-counting when reading /etc/hosts and friends; for
correct error messages. Thanks to Christian Rosentreter
for reporting this.
Fix bug in DNS non-terminal code, added in 2.80, which could
sometimes cause a NODATA rather than an NXDOMAIN reply.
Thanks to Norman Rasmussen, Sven Mueller and Maciej Żenczykowski
for spotting and diagnosing the bug and providing patches.
Support TCP-fastopen (RFC-7413) on both incoming and
outgoing TCP connections, if supported and enabled in the OS.
Improve kernel-capability manipulation code under Linux. Dnsmasq
now fails early if a required capability is not available, and
tries not to request capabilities not required by its
configuration.
Add --shared-network config. This enables allocation of addresses
by the DHCP server in subnets where the server (or relay) does not
have an interface on the network in that subnet. Many thanks to
kamp.de for sponsoring this feature.
Fix broken contrib/lease_tools/dhcp_lease_time.c. A packet
validation check got borked in commit 2b38e382 and release 2.80.
Thanks to Tomasz Szajner for spotting this.
Fix compilation against nettle version 3.5 and later.
Fix spurious DNSSEC validation failures when the auth section
of a reply contains unsigned RRs from a signed zone,
with the exception that NSEC and NSEC3 RRs must always be signed.
Thanks to Tore Anderson for spotting and diagnosing the bug.
Add --dhcp-ignore-clid. This disables reading of DHCP client
identifier option (option 61), so clients are only identified by
MAC addresses.
Fix a bug which stopped --dhcp-name-match from working when a hostname
is supplied in --dhcp-host. Thanks to James Feeney for spotting this.
Fix bug which caused very rarely caused zero-length DHCPv6 packets.
Thanks to Dereck Higgins for spotting this.
Add --tftp-single-port option.
Enhance --conf-dir to load files in a deterministic order. Thanks to
Evgenii Seliavka for the suggestion and initial patch.
In the router advert code, handle case where we have two
different interfaces on the same IPv6 net, and we are doing
RA/DHCP service on only one of them. Thanks to NIIBE Yutaka
for spotting this case and making the initial patch.
Support prefixed ranges of ipv6 addresses in dhcp-host.
This eases problems chain-netbooting, where each link in the
chain requests an address using a different UID. With a single
address, only one gets the "static" address, but with this
fix, enough addresses can be reserved for all the stages of the
boot. Many thanks to Harald Jensås for his work on this idea and
earlier patches.
Add filtering by tag of --dhcp-host directives. Based on a patch
by Harald Jensås.
Allow empty server spec in --rev-server, to match --server.
Remove DSA signature verification from DNSSEC, as specified in
RFC 8624. Thanks to Loganaden Velvindron for the original patch.
Add --script-on-renewal option.
version 2.80
Add support for RFC 4039 DHCP rapid commit. Thanks to Ashram Method
for the initial patch and motivation.
Alter the default for dnssec-check-unsigned. Versions of
dnsmasq prior to 2.80 defaulted to not checking unsigned
replies, and used --dnssec-check-unsigned to switch
this on. Such configurations will continue to work as before,
but those which used the default of no checking will need to be
altered to explicitly select no checking. The new default is
because switching off checking for unsigned replies is
inherently dangerous. Not only does it open the possiblity of forged
replies, but it allows everything to appear to be working even
when the upstream namesevers do not support DNSSEC, and in this
case no DNSSEC validation at all is occuring.
Fix DHCP broken-ness when --no-ping AND --dhcp-sequential-ip
are set. Thanks to Daniel Miess for help with this.
Add a facilty to store DNS packets sent/recieved in a
pcap-format file for later debugging. The file location
is given by the --dumpfile option, and a bitmap controlling
which packets should be dumped is given by the --dumpmask
option.
Handle the case of both standard and constructed dhcp-ranges on the
same interface better. We don't now contruct a dhcp-range if there's
already one specified. This allows the specified interface to
have different parameters and avoids advertising the same
prefix twice. Thanks to Luis Marsano for spotting this case.
Allow zone transfer in authoritative mode if auth-peer is specified,
even if auth-sec-servers is not. Thanks to Raphaël Halimi for
the suggestion.
Fix bug which sometimes caused dnsmasq to wrongly return answers
without DNSSEC RRs to queries with the do-bit set, but only when
DNSSEC validation was not enabled.
Thanks to Petr Menšík for spotting this.
Fix missing fatal errors with some malformed options
(server, local, address, rebind-domain-ok, ipset, alias).
Thanks to Eugene Lozovoy for spotting the problem.
Fix crash on startup with a --synth-domain which has no prefix.
Introduced in 2.79. Thanks to Andreas Engel for the bug report.
Fix missing EDNS0 section in some replies generated by local
DNS configuration which confused systemd-resolvd. Thanks to
Steve Dodd for characterising the problem.
Add --dhcp-name-match config option.
Add --caa-record config option.
Implement --address=/example.com/# as (more efficient) syntactic
sugar for --address=/example.com/0.0.0.0 and
--address=/example.com/::
Returning null addresses is a useful technique for ad-blocking.
Thanks to Peter Russell for the suggestion.
Change anti cache-snooping behaviour with queries with the
recursion-desired bit unset. Instead to returning SERVFAIL, we
now always forward, and never answer from the cache. This
allows "dig +trace" command to work.
Include in the example config file a formulation which
stops DHCP clients from claiming the DNS name "wpad".
This is a fix for the CERT Vulnerability VU#598349.
version 2.79
Fix parsing of CNAME arguments, which are confused by extra spaces.
Thanks to Diego Aguirre for spotting the bug.
Where available, use IP_UNICAST_IF or IPV6_UNICAST_IF to bind
upstream servers to an interface, rather than SO_BINDTODEVICE.
Thanks to Beniamino Galvani for the patch.
Always return a SERVFAIL answer to DNS queries without the
recursion desired bit set, UNLESS acting as an authoritative
DNS server. This avoids a potential route to cache snooping.
Add support for Ed25519 signatures in DNSSEC validation.
No longer support RSA/MD5 signatures in DNSSEC validation,
since these are not secure. This behaviour is mandated in
RFC-6944.
Fix incorrect error exit code from dhcp_release6 utility.
Thanks Gaudenz Steinlin for the bug report.
Use SIGINT (instead of overloading SIGHUP) to turn on DNSSEC
time validation when --dnssec-no-timecheck is in use.
Note that this is an incompatible change from earlier releases.
Allow more than one --bridge-interface option to refer to an
interface, so that we can use
--bridge-interface=int1,alias1
--bridge-interface=int1,alias2
as an alternative to
--bridge-interface=int1,alias1,alias2
Thanks to Neil Jerram for work on this.
Fix for DNSSEC with wildcard-derived NSEC records.
It's OK for NSEC records to be expanded from wildcards,
but in that case, the proof of non-existence is only valid
starting at the wildcard name, *.<domain> NOT the name expanded
from the wildcard. Without this check it's possible for an
attacker to craft an NSEC which wrongly proves non-existence.
Thanks to Ralph Dolmans for finding this, and co-ordinating
the vulnerability tracking and fix release.
CVE-2017-15107 applies.
Remove special handling of A-for-A DNS queries. These
are no longer a significant problem in the global DNS.
http://cs.northwestern.edu/~ychen/Papers/DNS_ToN15.pdf
Thanks to Mattias Hellström for the initial patch.
Fix failure to delete dynamically created dhcp options
from files in -dhcp-optsdir directories. Thanks to
Lindgren Fredrik for the bug report.
Add to --synth-domain the ability to create names using
sequential numbers, as well as encodings of IP addresses.
For instance,
--synth-domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.50,192.168.0.70,internal-*
creates 21 domain names of the form
internal-4.thekelleys.org.uk over the address range given, with
internal-0.thekelleys.org.uk being 192.168.0.50 and
internal-20.thekelleys.org.uk being 192.168.0.70
Thanks to Andy Hawkins for the suggestion.
Tidy up Crypto code, removing workarounds for ancient
versions of libnettle. We now require libnettle 3.
version 2.78
Fix logic of appending ".<layer>" to PXE basename. Thanks to Chris
Novakovic for the patch.
Revert ping-check of address in DHCPDISCOVER if there
already exists a lease for the address. Under some
circumstances, and netbooted windows installation can reply
to pings before if has a DHCP lease and block allocation
of the address it already used during netboot. Thanks to
Jan Psota for spotting this.
Fix DHCP relaying, broken in 2.76 and 2.77 by commit
ff325644c7afae2588583f935f4ea9b9694eb52e. Thanks to
John Fitzgibbon for the diagnosis and patch.
Try other servers if first returns REFUSED when
--strict-order active. Thanks to Hans Dedecker
for the patch
Fix regression in 2.77, ironically added as a security
improvement, which resulted in a crash when a DNS
query exceeded 512 bytes (or the EDNS0 packet size,
if different.) Thanks to Christian Kujau, Arne Woerner
Juan Manuel Fernandez and Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for
chasing this one down. CVE-2017-13704 applies.
Fix heap overflow in DNS code. This is a potentially serious
security hole. It allows an attacker who can make DNS
requests to dnsmasq, and who controls the contents of
a domain, which is thereby queried, to overflow
(by 2 bytes) a heap buffer and either crash, or
even take control of, dnsmasq.
CVE-2017-14491 applies.
Credit to Felix Wilhelm, Fermin J. Serna, Gabriel Campana
Kevin Hamacher and Ron Bowes of the Google Security Team for
finding this.
Fix heap overflow in IPv6 router advertisement code.
This is a potentially serious security hole, as a
crafted RA request can overflow a buffer and crash or
control dnsmasq. Attacker must be on the local network.
CVE-2017-14492 applies.
Credit to Felix Wilhelm, Fermin J. Serna, Gabriel Campana
and Kevin Hamacher of the Google Security Team for
finding this.
Fix stack overflow in DHCPv6 code. An attacker who can send
a DHCPv6 request to dnsmasq can overflow the stack frame and
crash or control dnsmasq.
CVE-2017-14493 applies.
Credit to Felix Wilhelm, Fermin J. Serna, Gabriel Campana
Kevin Hamacher and Ron Bowes of the Google Security Team for

Fix information leak in DHCPv6. A crafted DHCPv6 packet can
cause dnsmasq to forward memory from outside the packet
buffer to a DHCPv6 server when acting as a relay.
CVE-2017-14494 applies.
Credit to Felix Wilhelm, Fermin J. Serna, Gabriel Campana

Fix DoS in DNS. Invalid boundary checks in the
add_pseudoheader function allows a memcpy call with negative
size An attacker which can send malicious DNS queries
to dnsmasq can trigger a DoS remotely.
dnsmasq is vulnerable only if one of the following option is
specified: --add-mac, --add-cpe-id or --add-subnet.
CVE-2017-14496 applies.

finding this.
Fix out-of-memory Dos vulnerability. An attacker which can
send malicious DNS queries to dnsmasq can trigger memory
allocations in the add_pseudoheader function
The allocated memory is never freed which leads to a DoS
through memory exhaustion. dnsmasq is vulnerable only
if one of the following option is specified:
--add-mac, --add-cpe-id or --add-subnet.

version 2.77
Generate an error when configured with a CNAME loop,
rather than a crash. Thanks to George Metz for
spotting this problem.
Calculate the length of TFTP error reply packet
correctly. This fixes a problem when the error
message in a TFTP packet exceeds the arbitrary
limit of 500 characters. The message was correctly
truncated, but not the packet length, so
extra data was appended. This is a possible
security risk, since the extra data comes from
a buffer which is also used for DNS, so that
previous DNS queries or replies may be leaked.
Thanks to Mozilla for funding the security audit
which spotted this bug.
Fix logic error in Linux netlink code. This could
cause dnsmasq to enter a tight loop on systems
with a very large number of network interfaces.
Thanks to Ivan Kokshaysky for the diagnosis and
patch.
Fix problem with --dnssec-timestamp whereby receipt
of SIGHUP would erroneously engage timestamp checking.
Thanks to Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for this work.
Bump zone serial on reloading /etc/hosts and friends
when providing authoritative DNS. Thanks to Harrald
Dunkel for spotting this.
Handle v4-mapped IPv6 addresses sanely in --synth-domain.
These have standard representation like ::ffff:1.2.3.4
and are now converted to names like
<prefix>--ffff-1-2-3-4.<domain>
Handle binding upstream servers to an interface
(--server=1.2.3.4@eth0) when the named interface
is destroyed and recreated in the kernel. Thanks to
Beniamino Galvani for the patch.
Allow wildcard CNAME records in authoritative zones.
For example --cname=*.example.com,default.example.com
Thanks to Pro Backup for sponsoring this development.
Bump the allowed backlog of TCP connections from 5 to 32,
and make this a compile-time configurable option. Thanks
to Donatas Abraitis for diagnosing this as a potential
problem.
Add DNSMASQ_REQUESTED_OPTIONS environment variable to the
lease-change script. Thanks to ZHAO Yu for the patch.
Fix foobar in rrfilter code, that could cause malformed
replies, especially when DNSSEC validation on, and
the upstream server returns answer with the RRs in a
particular order. The only DNS server known to tickle
this is Nominum's. Thanks to Dave Täht for spotting the
bug and assisting in the fix.
Fix the manpage which lied that only the primary address
of an interface is used by --interface-name.
Make --localise-queries apply to names from --interface-name.
Thanks to Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant and Eric Luehrsen
for pushing this.
Improve connection handling when talking to TCP upstream
servers. Specifically, be prepared to open a new TCP
connection when we want to make multiple queries
but the upstream server accepts fewer queries per connection.
Improve logging of upstream servers when there are a lot
of "local addresses only" entries. Thanks to Hannu Nyman for
the patch.
Make --bogus-priv apply to IPv6, for the prefixes specified
in RFC6303. Thanks to Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for work on this.
Allow use of MAC addresses with --tftp-unique-root. Thanks
to Floris Bos for the patch.
Add --dhcp-reply-delay option. Thanks to Floris Bos
for the patch.
Add mtu setting facility to --ra-param. Thanks to David
Flamand for the patch.
Capture STDOUT and STDERR output from dhcp-script and log
it as part of the dnsmasq log stream. Makes life easier
for diagnosing unexpected problems in scripts.
Thanks to Petr Mensik for the patch.
Generate fatal errors when failing to parse the output
of the dhcp-script in "init" mode. Avoids strange errors
when the script accidentally emits error messages.
Thanks to Petr Mensik for the patch.
Make --rev-server for an RFC1918 subnet work even in the
presence of the --bogus-priv flag. Thanks to
Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
Extend --ra-param mtu: field to allow an interface name.
This allows the MTU of a WAN interface to be advertised on
the internal interfaces of a router. Thanks to
Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
Do ICMP-ping check for address-in-use for DHCPv4 when
the client specifies an address in DHCPDISCOVER, and when
an address in configured locally. Thanks to Alin Năstac
for spotting the problem.
Add new DHCP tag "known-othernet" which is set when only a
dhcp-host exists for another subnet. Can be used to ensure
that privileged hosts are not given "guest" addresses by
accident. Thanks to Todd Sanket for the suggestion.
Remove historic automatic inclusion of IDN support when
building internationalisation support. This doesn't
fit now there is a choice of IDN libraries. Be sure
to include either -DHAVE_IDN or -DHAVE_LIBIDN2 for
IDN support.
version 2.76
Include 0.0.0.0/8 in DNS rebind checks. This range
translates to hosts on the local network, or, at
least, 0.0.0.0 accesses the local host, so could
be targets for DNS rebinding. See RFC 5735 section 3
for details. Thanks to Stephen Röttger for the bug report.
Enhance --add-subnet to allow arbitrary subnet addresses.
Thanks to Ed Barsley for the patch.
Respect the --no-resolv flag in inotify code. Fixes bug
which caused dnsmasq to fail to start if a resolv-file
was a dangling symbolic link, even of --no-resolv set.
Thanks to Alexander Kurtz for spotting the problem.
Fix crash when an A or AAAA record is defined locally,
in a hosts file, and an upstream server sends a reply
that the same name is empty. Thanks to Edwin Török for
the patch.
Fix failure to correctly calculate cache-size when
reading a hosts-file fails. Thanks to André Glüpker
for the patch.
Fix wrong answer to simple name query when --domain-needed
set, but no upstream servers configured. Dnsmasq returned
REFUSED, in this case, when it should be the same as when
upstream servers are configured - NOERROR. Thanks to
Allain Legacy for spotting the problem.
Return REFUSED when running out of forwarding table slots,
not SERVFAIL.
Add --max-port configuration. Thanks to Hans Dedecker for
the patch.
Add --script-arp and two new functions for the dhcp-script.
These are "arp" and "arp-old" which announce the arrival and
removal of entries in the ARP or neighbour tables.
Extend --add-mac to allow a new encoding of the MAC address
as base64, by configuring --add-mac=base64
Add --add-cpe-id option.
Don't crash with divide-by-zero if an IPv6 dhcp-range
is declared as a whole /64.
(ie xx::0 to xx::ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff)
Thanks to Laurent Bendel for spotting this problem.
Add support for a TTL parameter in --host-record and
--cname.
Add --dhcp-ttl option.
Add --tftp-mtu option. Thanks to Patrick McLean for the
initial patch.
Check return-code of inet_pton() when parsing dhcp-option.
Bad addresses could fail to generate errors and result in
garbage dhcp-options being sent. Thanks to Marc Branchaud
for spotting this.
Fix wrong value for EDNS UDP packet size when using
--servers-file to define upstream DNS servers. Thanks to
Scott Bonar for the bug report.
Move the dhcp_release and dhcp_lease_time tools from
contrib/wrt to contrib/lease-tools.
Add dhcp_release6 to contrib/lease-tools. Many thanks
to Sergey Nechaev for this code.
To avoid filling logs in configurations which define
many upstream nameservers, don't log more that 30 servers.
The number to be logged can be changed as SERVERS_LOGGED
in src/config.h.
Swap the values if BC_EFI and x86-64_EFI in --pxe-service.
These were previously wrong due to an error in RFC 4578.
If you're using BC_EFI to boot 64-bit EFI machines, you
will need to update your config.
Add ARM32_EFI and ARM64_EFI as valid architectures in
--pxe-service.
Fix PXE booting for UEFI architectures. Modify PXE boot
sequence in this case to force the client to talk to dnsmasq
over port 4011. This makes PXE and especially proxy-DHCP PXE
work with these architectures.
Workaround problems with UEFI PXE clients. There exist
in the wild PXE clients which have problems with PXE
boot menus. To work around this, when there's a single
--pxe-service which applies to client, then that target
will be booted directly, rather then sending a
single-item boot menu.
Many thanks to Jarek Polok, Michael Kuron and Dreamcat4
for their work on the long-standing UEFI PXE problem.
Subtle change in the semantics of "basename" in
--pxe-service. The historical behaviour has always been
that the actual filename downloaded from the TFTP server
is <basename>.<layer> where <layer> is an integer which
corresponds to the layer parameter supplied by the client.
It's not clear what the function of the "layer"
actually is in the PXE protocol, and in practise layer
is always zero, so the filename is <basename>.0
The new behaviour is the same as the old, except when
<basename> includes a file suffix, in which case
the layer suffix is no longer added. This allows
sensible suffices to be used, rather then the
meaningless ".0". Only in the unlikely event that you
have a config with a basename which already has a
suffix, is this an incompatible change, since the file
downloaded will change from name.suffix.0 to just
name.suffix
version 2.75
Fix reversion on 2.74 which caused 100% CPU use when a
dhcp-script is configured. Thanks to Adrian Davey for
reporting the bug and testing the fix.
version 2.74
Fix reversion in 2.73 where --conf-file would attempt to
read the default file, rather than no file.
Fix inotify code to handle dangling symlinks better and
not SEGV in some circumstances.
DNSSEC fix. In the case of a signed CNAME generated by a
wildcard which pointed to an unsigned domain, the wrong
status would be logged, and some necessary checks omitted.
version 2.73
Fix crash at startup when an empty suffix is supplied to
--conf-dir, also trivial memory leak. Thanks to
Tomas Hozza for spotting this.
Remove floor of 4096 on advertised EDNS0 packet size when
DNSSEC in use, the original rationale for this has long gone.
Thanks to Anders Kaseorg for spotting this.
Use inotify for checking on updates to /etc/resolv.conf and
friends under Linux. This fixes race conditions when the files are
updated rapidly and saves CPU by noy polling. To build
a binary that runs on old Linux kernels without inotify,
use make COPTS=-DNO_INOTIFY
Fix breakage of --domain=<domain>,<subnet>,local - only reverse
queries were intercepted. THis appears to have been broken
since 2.69. Thanks to Josh Stone for finding the bug.
Eliminate IPv6 privacy addresses and deprecated addresses from
the answers given by --interface-name. Note that reverse queries
(ie looking for names, given addresses) are not affected.
Thanks to Michael Gorbach for the suggestion.
Fix crash in DNSSEC code with long RRs. Thanks to Marco Davids
for the bug report.
Add --ignore-address option. Ignore replies to A-record
queries which include the specified address. No error is
generated, dnsmasq simply continues to listen for another
reply. This is useful to defeat blocking strategies which
rely on quickly supplying a forged answer to a DNS
request for certain domains, before the correct answer can
arrive. Thanks to Glen Huang for the patch.
Revisit the part of DNSSEC validation which determines if an
unsigned answer is legit, or is in some part of the DNS
tree which should be signed. Dnsmasq now works from the
DNS root downward looking for the limit of signed
delegations, rather than working bottom up. This is
both more correct, and less likely to trip over broken
nameservers in the unsigned parts of the DNS tree
which don't respond well to DNSSEC queries.
Add --log-queries=extra option, which makes logs easier
to search automatically.
Add --min-cache-ttl option. I've resisted this for a long
time, on the grounds that disbelieving TTLs is never a
good idea, but I've been persuaded that there are
sometimes reasons to do it. (Step forward, GFW).
To avoid misuse, there's a hard limit on the TTL
floor of one hour. Thanks to RinSatsuki for the patch.
Cope with multiple interfaces with the same link-local
address. (IPv6 addresses are scoped, so this is allowed.)
Thanks to Cory Benfield for help with this.
Add --dhcp-hostsdir. This allows addition of new host
configurations to a running dnsmasq instance much more
cheaply than having dnsmasq re-read all its existing
configuration each time.
Don't reply to DHCPv6 SOLICIT messages if we're not
configured to do stateful DHCPv6. Thanks to Win King Wan
for the patch.
Fix broken DNSSEC validation of ECDSA signatures.
Add --dnssec-timestamp option, which provides an automatic
way to detect when the system time becomes valid after
boot on systems without an RTC, whilst allowing DNS
queries before the clock is valid so that NTP can run.
Thanks to Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for developing this idea.
Add --tftp-no-fail option. Thanks to Stefan Tomanek for
the patch.
Fix crash caused by looking up servers.bind, CHAOS text
record, when more than about five --servers= lines are
in the dnsmasq config. This causes memory corruption
which causes a crash later. Thanks to Matt Coddington for
sterling work chasing this down.
Fix crash on receipt of certain malformed DNS requests.
Thanks to Nick Sampanis for spotting the problem.
Note that this is could allow the dnsmasq process's
memory to be read by an attacker under certain
circumstances, so it has a CVE, CVE-2015-3294
Fix crash in authoritative DNS code, if a .arpa zone
is declared as authoritative, and then a PTR query which
is not to be treated as authoritative arrived. Normally,
directly declaring .arpa zone as authoritative is not
done, so this crash wouldn't be seen. Instead the
relevant .arpa zone should be specified as a subnet
in the auth-zone declaration. Thanks to Johnny S. Lee
for the bugreport and initial patch.
Fix authoritative DNS code to correctly reply to NS
and SOA queries for .arpa zones for which we are
declared authoritative by means of a subnet in auth-zone.
Previously we provided correct answers to PTR queries
in such zones (including NS and SOA) but not direct
NS and SOA queries. Thanks to Johnny S. Lee for
pointing out the problem.
Fix logging of DHCPREPLY which should be suppressed
by quiet-dhcp6. Thanks to J. Pablo Abonia for
spotting the problem.
Try and handle net connections with broken fragmentation
that lose large UDP packets. If a server times out,
reduce the maximum UDP packet size field in the EDNS0
header to 1280 bytes. If it then answers, make that
change permanent.
Check IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses when --stop-rebind
is active. Thanks to Jordan Milne for spotting this.
Allow DHCPv4 options T1 and T2 to be set using --dhcp-option.
Thanks to Kevin Benton for patches and work on this.
Fix code for DHCPCONFIRM DHCPv6 messages to confirm addresses
in the correct subnet, even of not in dynamic address
allocation range. Thanks to Steve Hirsch for spotting
the problem.
Add AddDhcpLease and DeleteDhcpLease DBus methods. Thanks
to Nicolas Cavallari for the patch.
Allow configuration of router advertisements without the
"on-link" bit set. Thanks to Neil Jerram for the patch.
Extend --bridge-interface to DHCPv6 and router
advertisements. Thanks to Neil Jerram for the patch.
version 2.72
Add ra-advrouter mode, for RFC-3775 mobile IPv6 support.
Add support for "ipsets" in *BSD, using pf. Thanks to
Sven Falempin for the patch.
Fix race condition which could lock up dnsmasq when an
interface goes down and up rapidly. Thanks to Conrad
Kostecki for helping to chase this down.
Add DBus methods SetFilterWin2KOption and SetBogusPrivOption
Thanks to the Smoothwall project for the patch.
Fix failure to build against Nettle-3.0. Thanks to Steven
Barth for spotting this and finding the fix.
When assigning existing DHCP leases to interfaces by comparing
networks, handle the case that two or more interfaces have the
same network part, but different prefix lengths (favour the
longer prefix length.) Thanks to Lung-Pin Chang for the
patch.
Add a mode which detects and removes DNS forwarding loops, ie
a query sent to an upstream server returns as a new query to
dnsmasq, and would therefore be forwarded again, resulting in
a query which loops many times before being dropped. Upstream
servers which loop back are disabled and this event is logged.
Thanks to Smoothwall for their sponsorship of this feature.
Extend --conf-dir to allow filtering of files. So
--conf-dir=/etc/dnsmasq.d,\*.conf
will load all the files in /etc/dnsmasq.d which end in .conf
Fix bug when resulted in NXDOMAIN answers instead of NODATA in
some circumstances.
Fix bug which caused dnsmasq to become unresponsive if it
failed to send packets due to a network interface disappearing.
Thanks to Niels Peen for spotting this.
Fix problem with --local-service option on big-endian platforms
Thanks to Richard Genoud for the patch.
version 2.71
Subtle change to error handling to help DNSSEC validation
when servers fail to provide NODATA answers for
non-existent DS records.
Tweak code which removes DNSSEC records from answers when
not required. Fixes broken answers when additional section
has real records in it. Thanks to Marco Davids for the bug
report.
Fix DNSSEC validation of ANY queries. Thanks to Marco Davids
for spotting that too.
Fix total DNS failure and 100% CPU use if cachesize set to zero,
regression introduced in 2.69. Thanks to James Hunt and
the Ubuntu crowd for assistance in fixing this.
version 2.70
Fix crash, introduced in 2.69, on TCP request when dnsmasq
compiled with DNSSEC support, but running without DNSSEC
enabled. Thanks to Manish Sing for spotting that one.
Fix regression which broke ipset functionality. Thanks to
Wang Jian for the bug report.
version 2.69
Implement dynamic interface discovery on *BSD. This allows
the constructor: syntax to be used in dhcp-range for DHCPv6
on the BSD platform. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
valuable research on how to implement this.
Fix infinite loop associated with some --bogus-nxdomain
configs. Thanks fogobogo for the bug report.
Fix missing RA RDNS option with configuration like
--dhcp-option=option6:23,[::] Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer
for spotting the problem.
Add [fd00::] and [fe80::] as special addresses in DHCPv6
options, analogous to [::]. [fd00::] is replaced with the
actual ULA of the interface on the machine running
dnsmasq, [fe80::] with the link-local address.
Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer for championing this.
DNSSEC validation and caching. Dnsmasq needs to be
compiled with this enabled, with
make dnsmasq COPTS=-DHAVE_DNSSEC
this adds dependencies on the nettle crypto library and the
gmp maths library. It's possible to have these linked
statically with
make dnsmasq COPTS='-DHAVE_DNSSEC -DHAVE_DNSSEC_STATIC'
which bloats the dnsmasq binary, but saves the size of
the shared libraries which are much bigger.
To enable, DNSSEC, you will need a set of
trust-anchors. Now that the TLDs are signed, this can be
the keys for the root zone, and for convenience they are
included in trust-anchors.conf in the dnsmasq
distribution. You should of course check that these are
legitimate and up-to-date. So, adding
conf-file=/path/to/trust-anchors.conf
dnssec
to your config is all that's needed to get things
working. The upstream nameservers have to be DNSSEC-capable
too, of course. Many ISP nameservers aren't, but the
Google public nameservers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) are.
When DNSSEC is configured, dnsmasq validates any queries
for domains which are signed. Query results which are
bogus are replaced with SERVFAIL replies, and results
which are correctly signed have the AD bit set. In
addition, and just as importantly, dnsmasq supplies
correct DNSSEC information to clients which are doing
their own validation, and caches DNSKEY, DS and RRSIG
records, which significantly improve the performance of
downstream validators. Setting --log-queries will show
DNSSEC in action.
If a domain is returned from an upstream nameserver without
DNSSEC signature, dnsmasq by default trusts this. This
means that for unsigned zone (still the majority) there
is effectively no cost for having DNSSEC enabled. Of course
this allows an attacker to replace a signed record with a
false unsigned record. This is addressed by the
--dnssec-check-unsigned flag, which instructs dnsmasq
to prove that an unsigned record is legitimate, by finding
a secure proof that the zone containing the record is not
signed. Doing this has costs (typically one or two extra
upstream queries). It also has a nasty failure mode if
dnsmasq's upstream nameservers are not DNSSEC capable.
Without --dnssec-check-unsigned using such an upstream
server will simply result in not queries being validated;
with --dnssec-check-unsigned enabled and a
DNSSEC-ignorant upstream server, _all_ queries will fail.
Note that DNSSEC requires that the local time is valid and
accurate, if not then DNSSEC validation will fail. NTP
should be running. This presents a problem for routers
without a battery-backed clock. To set the time needs NTP
to do DNS lookups, but lookups will fail until NTP has run.
To address this, there's a flag, --dnssec-no-timecheck
which disables the time checks (only) in DNSSEC. When dnsmasq
is started and the clock is not synced, this flag should
be used. As soon as the clock is synced, SIGHUP dnsmasq.
The SIGHUP clears the cache of partially-validated data and
resets the no-timecheck flag, so that all DNSSEC checks
henceforward will be complete.
The development of DNSSEC in dnsmasq was started by
Giovanni Bajo, to whom huge thanks are owed. It has been
supported by Comcast, whose techfund grant has allowed for
an invaluable period of full-time work to get it to
a workable state.
Add --rev-server. Thanks to Dave Taht for suggesting this.
Add --servers-file. Allows dynamic update of upstream servers
full access to configuration.
Add --local-service. Accept DNS queries only from hosts
whose address is on a local subnet, ie a subnet for which
an interface exists on the server. This option
only has effect if there are no --interface --except-interface,
--listen-address or --auth-server options. It is intended
to be set as a default on installation, to allow
unconfigured installations to be useful but also safe from
being used for DNS amplification attacks.
Fix crashes in cache_get_cname_target() when dangling CNAMEs
encountered. Thanks to Andy and the rt-n56u project for
find this and helping to chase it down.
Fix wrong RCODE in authoritative DNS replies to PTR queries. The
correct answer was included, but the RCODE was set to NXDOMAIN.
Thanks to Craig McQueen for spotting this.
Make statistics available as DNS queries in the .bind TLD as
well as logging them.
version 2.68
Use random addresses for DHCPv6 temporary address
allocations, instead of algorithmically determined stable
addresses.
Fix bug which meant that the DHCPv6 DUID was not available
in DHCP script runs during the lifetime of the dnsmasq
process which created the DUID de-novo. Once the DUID was
created and stored in the lease file and dnsmasq
restarted, this bug disappeared.
Fix bug introduced in 2.67 which could result in erroneous
NXDOMAIN returns to CNAME queries.
Fix build failures on MacOS X and openBSD.
Allow subnet specifications in --auth-zone to be interface
names as well as address literals. This makes it possible
to configure authoritative DNS when local address ranges
are dynamic and works much better than the previous
work-around which exempted constructed DHCP ranges from the
IP address filtering. As a consequence, that work-around
is removed. Under certain circumstances, this change wil
break existing configuration: if you're relying on the
constructed-range exception, you need to change --auth-zone
to specify the same interface as is used to construct your
DHCP ranges, probably with a trailing "/6" like this:
--auth-zone=example.com,eth0/6 to limit the addresses to
IPv6 addresses of eth0.
Fix problems when advertising deleted IPv6 prefixes. If
the prefix is deleted (rather than replaced), it doesn't
get advertised with zero preferred time. Thanks to Tsachi
for the bug report.
Fix segfault with some locally configured CNAMEs. Thanks
to Andrew Childs for spotting the problem.
Fix memory leak on re-reading /etc/hosts and friends,
introduced in 2.67.
Check the arrival interface of incoming DNS and TFTP
requests via IPv6, even in --bind-interfaces mode. This
isn't possible for IPv4 and can generate scary warnings,
but as it's always possible for IPv6 (the API always
exists) then we should do it always.
Tweak the rules on prefix-lengths in --dhcp-range for
IPv6. The new rule is that the specified prefix length
must be larger than or equal to the prefix length of the
corresponding address on the local interface.
version 2.67
Fix crash if upstream server returns SERVFAIL when
--conntrack in use. Thanks to Giacomo Tazzari for finding
this and supplying the patch.
Repair regression in 2.64. That release stopped sending
lease-time information in the reply to DHCPINFORM
requests, on the correct grounds that it was a standards
violation. However, this broke the dnsmasq-specific
dhcp_lease_time utility. Now, DHCPINFORM returns
lease-time only if it's specifically requested
(maintaining standards) and the dhcp_lease_time utility
has been taught to ask for it (restoring functionality).
Fix --dhcp-match, --dhcp-vendorclass and --dhcp-userclass
to work with BOOTP and well as DHCP. Thanks to Peter
Korsgaard for spotting the problem.
Add --synth-domain. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya for
suggesting this.
Fix failure to compile ipset.c if old kernel headers are
in use. Thanks to Eugene Rudoy for pointing this out.
Handle IPv4 interface-address labels in Linux. These are
often used to emulate the old IP-alias addresses. Before,
using --interface=eth0 would service all the addresses of
eth0, including ones configured as aliases, which appear
in ifconfig as eth0:0. Now, only addresses with the label
eth0 are active. This is not backwards compatible: if you
want to continue to bind the aliases too, you need to add
eg. --interface=eth0:0 to the config.
Fix "failed to set SO_BINDTODEVICE on DHCP socket: Socket
operation on non-socket" error on startup with
configurations which have exactly one --interface option
and do RA but _not_ DHCPv6. Thanks to Trever Adams for the
bug report.
Generalise --interface-name to cope with IPv6 addresses
and multiple addresses per interface per address family.
Fix option parsing for --dhcp-host, which was generating a
spurious error when all seven possible items were
included. Thanks to Zhiqiang Wang for the bug report.
Remove restriction on prefix-length in --auth-zone. Thanks
to Toke Hoiland-Jorgensen for suggesting this.
Log when the maximum number of concurrent DNS queries is
reached. Thanks to Marcelo Salhab Brogliato for the patch.
If wildcards are used in --interface, don't assume that
there will only ever be one available interface for DHCP
just because there is one at start-up. More may appear, so
we can't use SO_BINDTODEVICE. Thanks to Natrio for the bug
report.
Increase timeout/number of retries in TFTP to accommodate
AudioCodes Voice Gateways doing streaming writes to flash.
Thanks to Damian Kaczkowski for spotting the problem.
Fix crash with empty DHCP string options when adding zero
terminator. Thanks to Patrick McLean for the bug report.
Allow hostnames to start with a number, as allowed in
RFC-1123. Thanks to Kyle Mestery for the patch.
Fixes to DHCP FQDN option handling: don't terminate FQDN
if domain not known and allow a FQDN option with blank
name to request that a FQDN option is returned in the
reply. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
Make --clear-on-reload apply to setting upstream servers
via DBus too.
When the address which triggered the construction of an
advertised IPv6 prefix disappears, continue to advertise
the prefix for up to 2 hours, with the preferred lifetime
set to zero. This satisfies RFC 6204 4.3 L-13 and makes
things work better if a prefix disappears without being
deprecated first. Thanks to Uwe Schindler for persuasively
arguing for this.
Fix MAC address enumeration on *BSD. Thanks to Brad Smith
for the bug report.
Support RFC-4242 information-refresh-time options in the
reply to DHCPv6 information-request. The lease time of the
smallest valid dhcp-range is sent. Thanks to Uwe Schindler
for suggesting this.
Make --listen-address higher priority than --except-interface
in all circumstances. Thanks to Thomas Hood for the bugreport.
Provide independent control over which interfaces get TFTP
service. If enable-tftp is given a list of interfaces, then TFTP
is provided on those. Without the list, the previous behaviour
(provide TFTP to the same interfaces we provide DHCP to)
is retained. Thanks to Lonnie Abelbeck for the suggestion.
Add --dhcp-relay config option. Many thanks to vtsl.net
for sponsoring this development.
Fix crash with empty tag: in --dhcp-range. Thanks to
Kaspar Schleiser for the bug report.
Add "baseline" and "bloatcheck" makefile targets, for
revealing size changes during development. Thanks to
Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
Cope with DHCPv6 clients which send REQUESTs without
address options - treat them as SOLICIT with rapid commit.
Support identification of clients by MAC address in
DHCPv6. When using a relay, the relay must support RFC
6939 for this to work. It always works for directly
connected clients. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko
for prompting this feature.
Remove the rule for constructed DHCP ranges that the local
address must be either the first or last address in the
range. This was originally to avoid SLAAC addresses, but
we now explicitly autoconfig and privacy addresses instead.
Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
Fix problem in DHCPv6 vendorclass/userclass matching
code. Thanks to Tanguy Bouzeloc for the patch.
Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Vicente Soriano.
Add --ra-param option. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for
inspiration on this.
Add --add-subnet configuration, to tell upstream DNS
servers where the original client is. Thanks to DNSthingy
for sponsoring this feature.
Add --quiet-dhcp, --quiet-dhcp6 and --quiet-ra. Thanks to
Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for the initial patch.
Allow A/AAAA records created by --interface-name to be the
target of --cname. Thanks to Hadmut Danisch for the
suggestion.
Avoid treating a --dhcp-host which has an IPv6 address
as eligible for use with DHCPv4 on the grounds that it has
no address, and vice-versa. Thanks to Yury Konovalov for
spotting the problem.
Do a better job caching dangling CNAMEs. Thanks to Yves
Dorfsman for spotting the problem.
version 2.66
Add the ability to act as an authoritative DNS
server. Dnsmasq can now answer queries from the wider 'net
with local data, as long as the correct NS records are set
up. Only local data is provided, to avoid creating an open
DNS relay. Zone transfer is supported, to allow secondary
servers to be configured.
Add "constructed DHCP ranges" for DHCPv6. This is intended
for IPv6 routers which get prefixes dynamically via prefix
delegation. With suitable configuration, stateful DHCPv6
and RA can happen automatically as prefixes are delegated
and then deprecated, without having to re-write the
dnsmasq configuration file or restart the daemon. Thanks to
Steven Barth for extensive testing and development work on
this idea.
Fix crash on startup on Solaris 11. Regression probably
introduced in 2.61. Thanks to Geoff Johnstone for the
patch.
Add code to make behaviour for TCP DNS requests that same
as for UDP requests, when a request arrives for an allowed
address, but via a banned interface. This change is only
active on Linux, since the relevant API is missing (AFAIK)
on other platforms. Many thanks to Tomas Hozza for
spotting the problem, and doing invaluable discovery of
the obscure and undocumented API required for the solution.
Don't send the default DHCP option advertising dnsmasq as
the local DNS server if dnsmasq is configured to not act
as DNS server, or it's configured to a non-standard port.
Add DNSMASQ_CIRCUIT_ID, DNSMASQ_SUBSCRIBER_ID,
DNSMASQ_REMOTE_ID variables to the environment of the
lease-change script (and the corresponding Lua). These hold
information inserted into the DHCP request by a DHCP relay
agent. Thanks to Lakefield Communications for providing a
bounty for this addition.
Fixed crash, introduced in 2.64, whilst handling DHCPv6
information-requests with some common configurations.
Thanks to Robert M. Albrecht for the bug report and
chasing the problem.
Add --ipset option. Thanks to Jason A. Donenfeld for the
patch.
Don't erroneously reject some option names in --dhcp-match
options. Thanks to Benedikt Hochstrasser for the bug report.
Allow a trailing '*' wildcard in all interface-name
configurations. Thanks to Christian Parpart for the patch.
Handle the situation where libc headers define
SO_REUSEPORT, but the kernel in use doesn't, to cope with
the introduction of this option to Linux. Thanks to Rich
Felker for the bug report.
Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
Fix crash if the configured DHCP lease limit is
reached. Regression occurred in 2.61. Thanks to Tsachi for
the bug report.
Update the French translation. Thanks to Gildas le Nadan.
version 2.65
Fix regression which broke forwarding of queries sent via
TCP which are not for A and AAAA and which were directed to
non-default servers. Thanks to Niax for the bug report.
Fix failure to build with DHCP support excluded. Thanks to
Gustavo Zacarias for the patch.
Fix nasty regression in 2.64 which completely broke caching.
version 2.64
Handle DHCP FQDN options with all flag bits zero and
--dhcp-client-update set. Thanks to Bernd Krumbroeck for
spotting the problem.
Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
generate a warning. Now that only happens if there is not
also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in
/etc/hosts with one of them assigned via DHCP.
Fix broken vendor-option processing for BOOTP. Thanks to
Hans-Joachim Baader for the bug report.
Don't report spurious netlink errors, regression in
2.63. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
Flag DHCP or DHCPv6 in startup logging. Thanks to
Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
Add SetServersEx method in DBus interface. Thanks to Dan
Williams for the patch.
Add SetDomainServers method in DBus interface. Thanks to
Roy Marples for the patch.
Fix build with later Lua libraries. Thanks to Cristian
Rodriguez for the patch.
Add --max-cache-ttl option. Thanks to Dennis Kaarsemaker
for the patch.
Fix breakage of --host-record parsing, resulting in
infinite loop at startup. Regression in 2.63. Thanks to
Haim Gelfenbeyn for spotting this.
Set SO_REUSEADDRESS and SO_V6ONLY options on the DHCPv6
socket, this allows multiple instances of dnsmasq on a
single machine, in the same way as for DHCPv4. Thanks to
Gene Czarcinski and Vladislav Grishenko for work on this.
Fix DHCPv6 to do access control correctly when it's
configured with --listen-address. Thanks to
Gene Czarcinski for sorting this out.
Add a "wildcard" dhcp-range which works for any IPv6
subnet, --dhcp-range=::,static Useful for Stateless
DHCPv6. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
Don't include lease-time in DHCPACK replies to DHCPINFORM
queries, since RFC-2131 says we shouldn't. Thanks to
Wouter Ibens for pointing this out.
Makefile tweak to do dependency checking on header files.
Thanks to Johan Peeters for the patch.
Check interface for outgoing unsolicited router
advertisements, rather than relying on interface address
configuration. Thanks to Gene Czarinski for the patch.
Handle better attempts to transmit on interfaces which are
still doing DAD, and specifically do not just transmit
without setting source address and interface, since this
can cause very puzzling effects when a router
advertisement goes astray. Thanks again to Gene Czarinski.
Get RA timers right when there is more than one
dhcp-range on a subnet.
version 2.63
Do duplicate dhcp-host address check in --test mode.
Check that tftp-root directories are accessible before
start-up. Thanks to Daniel Veillard for the initial patch.
Allow more than one --tfp-root flag. The per-interface
stuff is pointless without that.
Add --bind-dynamic. A hybrid mode between the default and
--bind-interfaces which copes with dynamically created
interfaces.
A couple of fixes to the build system for Android. Thanks
to Metin Kaya for the patches.
Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
superseded by other mechanisms.
Fixed bug logging filenames when duplicate dhcp-host
addresses are found. Thanks to John Hanks for the patch.
Fix regression in 2.61 which broke caching of CNAME
chains. Thanks to Atul Gupta for the bug report.
Allow the target of a --cname flag to be another --cname.
Teach DHCPv6 about the RFC 4242 information-refresh-time
option, and add parsing if the minutes, hours and days
format for options. Thanks to Francois-Xavier Le Bail for
the suggestion.
Allow "w" (for week) as multiplier in lease times, as well
as seconds, minutes, hours and days. Álvaro Gámez Machado
spotted the omission.
Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Allow a DBus service name to be given with --enable-dbus
which overrides the default,
uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq. Thanks to Mathieu
Trudel-Lapierre for the patch.
Set the "prefix on-link" bit in Router
Advertisements. Thanks to Gui Iribarren for the patch.
version 2.62
Update German translation. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki.
Cope with router-solict packets which don't have a valid
source address. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
Fixed bug which caused missing periodic router
advertisements with some configurations. Thanks to
Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
Fixed bug which broke DHCPv6/RA with prefix lengths
which are not divisible by 8. Thanks to Andre Coetzee
for spotting this.
Fix non-response to router-solicitations when
router-advertisement configured, but DHCPv6 not
configured. Thanks to Marien Zwart for the patch.
Add --dns-rr, to allow arbitrary DNS resource records.
Fixed bug which broke RA scheduling when an interface had
two addresses in the same network. Thanks to Jim Bos for
his help nailing this.
version 2.61
Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use
getifaddrs. This is more portable, more straightforward,
and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
addresses.
Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.
Add --dhcp-duid to allow DUID-EN uids to be used.
Explicitly send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
source address, since at least one client in the wild gets
this wrong. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki for help tracking
this down.
Send a preference value of 255 in DHCPv6 replies when
--dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
to wait around for other DHCP servers.
Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the
suggestion.
Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilities
associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
Gadgil.
Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
the above.
Set the environment variable DNSMASQ_LOG_DHCP when running
the script id --log-dhcp is in effect, so that script can
taylor their logging verbosity. Suggestion from Malte
Forkel.
Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
work even if there is no interface carrying the
address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
the idea and initial patch.
Fix crash, introduced in 2.60, when a DHCPINFORM is
received from a network which has no valid dhcp-range.
Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
--dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
preferred lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
effect is that clients can continue to use the address
for existing connections, but new connections will use
other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
renumbering at least possible.
Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease
acquisition to fail if more than one dhcp-range in use.
Provide RDNSS and DNSSL data in router advertisements,
using the settings provided for DHCP options
option6:domain-search and option6:dns-server.
Tweak logo/favicon.ico to add some transparency. Thanks to
SamLT for work on this.
Don't cache data from non-recursive nameservers, since it
may erroneously look like a valid CNAME to a non-existent
name. Thanks to Ben Winslow for finding this.
Call SO_BINDTODEVICE on the DHCP socket(s) when doing DHCP
on exactly one interface and --bind-interfaces is set. This
makes the OpenStack use-case of one dnsmasq per virtual
interface work. This is only available on Linux; it's not
supported on other platforms. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya
and the OpenStack team for the suggestion.
Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Give correct from-cache answers to explicit CNAME queries.
Thanks to Rob Zwissler for spotting this.
Add --tftp-lowercase option. Thanks to Oliver Rath for the
patch.
Ensure that the DBus DhcpLeaseUpdated events are generated
when a lease goes through INIT_REBOOT state, even if the
dhcp-script is not in use. Thanks to Antoaneta-Ecaterina
Ene for the patch.
Fix failure of TFTP over IPv4 on OpenBSD platform. Thanks
to Brad Smith for spotting this.
version 2.60
Fix compilation problem in Mac OS X Lion. Thanks to Olaf
Flebbe for the patch.
Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
which is not the primary address of an interface.
Add --dhcp-client-update option.
Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
implementation.
Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
set them from the make command line.
Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.
Set TOS on DHCP sockets, this improves things on busy
wireless networks. Thanks to Dave Taht for the patch.
Determine VERSION automatically based on git magic:
release tags or hash values.
Improve start-up speed when reading large hosts files
containing many distinct addresses.
Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
this.
Fix shell-scripting bug in bld/pkg-wrapper. Thanks to
Mark Mitchell for the patch.
Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
--dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
(to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
These will be added as the standards mature.
This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
testers who have got it this far.
Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
enabling with --enable-ra.
Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive
via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.
Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
version 2.59
Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
report.
Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.
version 2.58
Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
server-deployment applications need this.
Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
in chasing this one down.
Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
the problem.
Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
desirable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
match a tag in --dhcp-host.
Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
Agrawal for the patch.
When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
per-network values. So
--dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
--dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
--dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
--dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
override that to domain2 for a particular host.
Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
a comprehensive test-case.
Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
length. Many thanks to Loic Pefferkorn for finding this.
Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
/etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to
Michael Stapelberg for the suggestion.
Update Polish translation, thanks to Jan Psota.
Update French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
version 2.57
Add patches to allow build under Android.
Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
effectively empty on Android.
Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
wildcard.
Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
spotting this.
Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
IDN support continues to be included automatically
when i18n is included.
'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.
version 2.56
Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
--dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
--syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
syslogd.
Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
Petrin for the original patch.
Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
option, on the command line.
Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
b) --keep-in-foreground is set. The logging facility on the
other end of stderr can be assumed to supply them. Thanks
to John Hallam for the patch.
Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
--txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
character chunks instead.
Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
transfer has completed successfully.
A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
--domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
which automatically creates
--local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
--local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
Tighten up syntax checking of hex constants in the config
file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
thanks for that.
Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
set.
Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
Edit
contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
a NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
--address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
*google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
override this behaviour by defining the semantics if the
same domain appears in both --server and --address.
In that case, the --address has priority for the address
family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
of the address family which doesn't appear in --address
So:
--address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
--server=/google.com/#
will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
William for pointing out the need for this.
Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
and make them understand directories as arguments in the
same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.
Fix cosmetic bug which produced strange output when
dumping cache statistics with some configurations. Thanks
to Fedor Kozhevnikov for spotting this.
version 2.55
Fix crash when /etc/ethers is in use. Thanks to
Gianluigi Tiesi for finding this.
Fix crash in netlink_multicast(). Thanks to Arno Wald for
finding this one.
Allow the empty domain "." in dhcp domain-search (119)
options.
version 2.54
There is no version 2.54 to avoid confusion with 2.53,
which incorrectly identifies itself as 2.54.
version 2.53
Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
generated by gcc 4.4.
Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
"net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
no existing config file needs to be changed, but
the documentation and new-style config files should be
much less confusing.
Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
finding this.
If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
from the client.
Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
finding this.
Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
server-override option.
Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
allows a single line of the form
dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
what services are supplied to other interfaces and
irrespective of the existence or lack of
interface=<interface>
lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
configuration.
Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
file, not the process/descriptor.
Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
(/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
this and testing the fix.
Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
upstream servers: this allows something like
--server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
work on this.
Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
than one server available for a domain, eg.
--server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
--server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
here.
Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
Fix regression which caused configuration like
--address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
long time, but it should be accepted for backward
compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
is set.
Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.
Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
Updated German translation. Thanks to Matthias Andree.
Added contrib/static-arp, thanks to Darren Hoo.
Fix corruption of the domain when a name from /etc/hosts
overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
version 2.52
Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
necessary for some *WRT distros.
Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
/etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
when dnsmasq is first started.
Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
with certain clients.
Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
addresses, and that will accept some things which are
confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
numbers delimited by dots.
A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
to Joel Macklow for help with this.
Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
contrib/Solaris10.
Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
(from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
and for the average "one for two class C networks"
installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
addresses available in such an installation removes a
surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
the lease-change script in the environment variable
DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
Options". The syntax looks like this:
--dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
looks like this:
--dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
Add some application specific code to assist in
implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
this.
Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
providing this.
Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.
Thanks to Oschtan for the bug report.
Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
finding and analysing the problem.
version 2.51
Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
/etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
suggestion.
Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
a DHCP relay, if used.
Suggestions from Michael Rack.
Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
dhcp-option-force.
Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
the patch.
Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
suggestion.
Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
dhcp-optsfile.
Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
is retried. This should improve performance when there
is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
suggestion.
Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
fragmented packets.
Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
version 2.50
Fix security problem which allowed any host permitted to
do TFTP to possibly compromise dnsmasq by remote buffer
overflow when TFTP enabled. Thanks to Core Security
Technologies and Iván Arce, Pablo Hernán Jorge, Alejandro
Pablo Rodriguez, Martín Coco, Alberto Soliño Testa and
Pablo Annetta. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36121
and CVE: 2009-2957
Fix a problem which allowed a malicious TFTP client to
crash dnsmasq. Thanks to Steve Grubb at Red Hat for
spotting this. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36120 and
CVE: 2009-2958
version 2.49
Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
version 2.48
Archived the extensive, backwards, changelog to
CHANGELOG.archive. The current changelog now runs from
version 2.43 and runs conventionally.
Fixed bug which broke binding of servers to physical
interfaces when interface names were longer than four
characters. Thanks to MURASE Katsunori for the patch.
Fixed netlink code to check that messages come from the
correct source, and not another userspace process. Thanks
to Steve Grubb for the patch.
Maintainability drive: removed bug and missing feature
workarounds for some old platforms. Solaris 9, OpenBSD
older than 4.1, Glibc older than 2.2, Linux 2.2.x and
DBus older than 1.1.x are no longer supported.
Don't read included configuration files more than once:
allows complex configuration structures without problems.
Mark log messages from the various subsystems in dnsmasq:
messages from the DHCP subsystem now have the ident string
"dnsmasq-dhcp" and messages from TFTP have ident
"dnsmasq-tftp". Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
Fix possible infinite DHCP protocol loop when an IP
address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
the suggestion.
Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
--pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
and Michael Brown for assistance.
Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
useful suggestions.
Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
this, edit src/config.h or build with
"make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
configuration files only.
Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
version 2.47
Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overridden in CFLAGS.
Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
(such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
bind to an address in this state returns an error,
EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
Krafft for the bug report.
Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.
Update Dbus configuration file. Patch from Colin Walters.
Fix for this bug:
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18961
Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
(eg) iPXE, which expect all its private options to be
encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
will provide iSCSI parameters to iPXE.
Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
application in mind for this is RFC 4578
client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
No longer complain about blank lines in
/etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
--server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
for the bug report.
Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
possible to supply a complete configuration, but
individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
--alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
as before.
--alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
Windows even when using supernetting.
--dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
directory owned and write-able by the user running
dnsmasq.
version 2.46
Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
suggestion.
Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
based in their IP address.
Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
a domain associated with each client, and only
fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
long as they are in different domains.
Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
lease-change script. This may be useful information to
have now that it's variable.
Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
potential.
Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
which the DHCP request was received.
Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
Laine for the patch.
Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
address to a host which has two network interfaces
(say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
It's very important to ensure that only one interface
at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
and re-uses the address before the leased time has
elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
improvement.
Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
suggestions on this.
Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
Fisher.
Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
"nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
up" event occurs.
version 2.45
Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
version 2.44
Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
never been reported in the wild.
Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
Jean Wolter for finding this.
Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
is large.
Patch to enable compilation of latest Mac OS X. Thanks to
David Gilman.
Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Christopher Chatham.
version 2.43
Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
illegally.
Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
format.
Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
Rack for the bug report.
Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
Bergquist.
Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
option.
Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
errors which occurred during startup would be worked
around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
suggestions.
Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
Implement random source ports for interactions with
upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
source port (and socket) for each query it sends
upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
--query-port option, and the old default behaviour
restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
Replace the random number generator, for better
security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
problems for non-root daemons listening on high
ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
version 2.42
The changelog for version 2.42 and earlier is
available in CHANGELOG.archive.
