Minor addition of logging info before and after execution of Windows net commands. Misc fixes to r6708. Added --x509-track option. * added --management-up-down option to allow management interface to be notified of tunnel up/down events. Fixed minor compile issue triggered on builds where MANAGEMENT_DEF_AUTH is not enabled. Implemented get_default_gateway_mac_addr for Mac OS X Fixes to r6925. Properly handle certificate serial numbers > 32 bits. Added "client-nat" option for stateless, one-to-one NAT on the client side. Renamed branch to reflect that it is no longer beta. env_filter_match now includes the serial number of all certs Fixed issue where a client might receive multiple push replies from a server Fixed bug introduced in r7031 that might cause this error message: Extended "client-kill" management interface command (server-side) Client will now try to reconnect if no push reply received within handshake-window seconds.

Added redirect-gateway block-local flag, with support for Linux, Mac OS X Extended x509-track to allow SHA1 certificate hash to be extracted Added "management-query-remote" directive (client) to allow the management interface to override the "remote" directive. Version 2.1.5. Fixed MSVC compile error related to r7408. Redact "echo" directive strings from log, since these strings (going forward) could conceivably contain security-sensitive data. Modified sanitize_control_message to remove redacted data from control string rather than blotting it out with "_" chars. Changed CC_PRINT character class to allow UTF-8 chars. Increased the --verb threshold for "PID_ERR replay" messages to 4 from 3. Fixed issue where redirect-gateway block-local code was not correctly calculating... CC_PRINT character class now allows any 8-bit character value >= 32. "status" management interface command (version >= 2) will now include the username for each connected user.

This allows redirect-gateway to work on Linux clients whose connection to the internet is via a point-to-point link such as PPP. Note that at the moment, this capability is incompatible with the "redirect-gateway block-local" directive -- this is because the block-local directive blocks all traffic from the local LAN except for the local and gateway addresses. Since a PPP link is essentially a subnet of two addresses, local and remote (i.e. gateway), the set of addresses that would be blocked by block-local is empty. Therefore, the "redirect-gateway block-local" directive will be ignored on PPP links.

The Windows service did not properly quote the executable filename passed to CreateService. A local attacker with write access to the root directory C:\ could create an executable that would be run with the same privilege level as the OpenVPN Windows service. However, since non-Administrative users normally lack write permission on C:\, this vulnerability is generally not exploitable except on older versions of Windows (such as Win2K) where the default permissions on C:\ would allow any user to create files there. Credit: Scott Laurie, MWR InfoSecurity * Added Python-based based alternative build system for Windows using Visual Studio 2008 (in win directory). * When aborting in a non-graceful way, try to execute do_close_tun in init.c prior to daemon exit to ensure that the tun/tap interface is closed and any added routes are deleted. * Fixed an issue where AUTH_FAILED was not being properly delivered to the client when a bad password is given for mid-session reauth, causing the connection to fail without an error indication. * Don't advance to the next connection profile on AUTH_FAILED errors. * Fixed an issue in the Management Interface that could cause a process hang with 100% CPU utilization in --management-client mode if the management interface client disconnected at the point where credentials are queried. * Fixed an issue where if reneg-sec was set to 0 on the client, so that the server-side value would take precedence, the auth_deferred_expire_window function would incorrectly return a window period of 0 seconds. In this case, the correct window period should be the handshake window period. * Modified ">PASSWORD:Verification Failed" management interface notification to include a client reason string: >PASSWORD:Verification Failed: 'AUTH_TYPE' ['REASON_STRING'] * Enable exponential backoff in reliability layer retransmits. * Set socket buffers (SO_SNDBUF and SO_RCVBUF) immediately after socket is created rather than waiting until after connect/listen. * Management interface performance optimizations: 1. Added env-filter MI command to perform filtering on env vars passed through as a part of --management-client-auth 2. man_write will now try to aggregate output into larger blocks (up to 1024 bytes) for more efficient i/o * Fixed minor issue in Windows TAP driver DEBUG builds where non-null-terminated unicode strings were being printed incorrectly. * Fixed issue on Windows with MSVC compiler, where TCP_NODELAY support was not being compiled in. * Proxy improvements: Improved the ability of http-auth "auto" flag to dynamically detect the auth method required by the proxy. Added http-auth "auto-nct" flag to reject weak proxy auth methods. Added HTTP proxy digest authentication method. Removed extraneous openvpn_sleep calls from proxy.c. * Implemented http-proxy-override and http-proxy-fallback directives to make it easier for OpenVPN client UIs to start a pre-existing client config file with proxy options, or to adaptively fall back to a proxy connection if a direct connection fails. * Implemented a key/value auth channel from client to server. * Fixed issue where bad creds provided by the management interface for HTTP Proxy Basic Authentication would go into an infinite retry-fail loop instead of requerying the management interface for new creds. * Added support for MSVC debugging of openvpn.exe in settings.in: # Build debugging version of openvpn.exe !define PRODUCT_OPENVPN_DEBUG * Implemented multi-address DNS expansion on the network field of route commands. When only a single IP address is desired from a multi-address DNS expansion, use the first address rather than a random selection. * Added --register-dns option for Windows. Fixed some issues on Windows with --log, subprocess creation for command execution, and stdout/stderr redirection. * Fixed an issue where application payload transmissions on the TLS control channel (such as AUTH_FAILED) that occur during or immediately after a TLS renegotiation might be dropped. * Added warning about tls-remote option in man page. 2009.12.11 -- Version 2.1.1 * Fixed some breakage in openvpn.spec (which is required to build an RPM distribution) where it was referencing a non-existent subdirectory in the tarball, causing it to fail (patch from David Sommerseth). 2009.12.11 -- Version 2.1.0 * Fixed a couple issues in sample plugins auth-pam.c and down-root.c. (1) Fail gracefully rather than segfault if calloc returns NULL. (2) The openvpn_plugin_abort_v1 function can potentially be called with handle == NULL. Add code to detect this case, and if so, avoid dereferencing pointers derived from handle (Thanks to David Sommerseth for finding this bug). * Documented "multihome" option in the man page. 2009.11.20 -- Version 2.1_rc22 * Fixed a client-side bug on Windows that occurred when the "dhcp-pre-release" or "dhcp-renew" options were combined with "route-gateway dhcp". The release/renew would not occur because the Windows DHCP renew function is blocking and therefore must be called from another process or thread so as not to stall the tunnel. * Added a hard failure when peer provides a certificate chain with depth > 16. Previously, a warning was issued. 2009.11.12 -- Version 2.1_rc21 * Rebuilt OpenVPN Windows installer with OpenSSL 0.9.8l to address CVE-2009-3555. Note that OpenVPN has never relied on the session renegotiation capabilities that are built into the SSL/TLS protocol, therefore the fix in OpenSSL 0.9.8l (disable SSL/TLS renegotiation completely) will not adversely affect OpenVPN mid-session SSL/TLS renegotation or any other OpenVPN capabilities. * Added additional session renegotiation hardening. OpenVPN has always required that mid-session renegotiations build up a new SSL/TLS session from scratch. While the client certificate common name is already locked against changes in mid-session TLS renegotiations, we now extend this locking to the auth-user-pass username as well as all certificate content in the full client certificate chain. 2009.10.01 -- Version 2.1_rc20 * Fixed a bug introduced in 2.1_rc17 (svn r4436) where using the redirect-gateway option by itself, without any extra parameters, would cause the option to be ignored. * Fixed build problem when ./configure --disable-server is used. * Fixed ifconfig command for "topology subnet" on FreeBSD (Stefan Bethke). * Added --remote-random-hostname option. * Added "load-stats" management interface command to get global server load statistics. * Added new ./configure flags: --disable-def-auth Disable deferred authentication --disable-pf Disable internal packet filter * Added "setcon" directive for interoperability with SELinux (Sebastien Raveau). * Optimized PUSH_REQUEST handshake sequence to shave several seconds off of a typical client connection initiation. * The maximum number of "route" directives (specified in the config file or pulled from a server) can now be configured via the new "max-routes" directive. * Eliminated the limitation on the number of options that can be pushed to clients, including routes. Previously, all pushed options needed to fit within a 1024 byte options string. * Added --server-poll-timeout option : when polling possible remote servers to connect to in a round-robin fashion, spend no more than n seconds waiting for a response before trying the next server. * Added the ability for the server to provide a custom reason string when an AUTH_FAILED message is returned to the client. This string can be set by the server-side managment interface and read by the client-side management interface. * client-kill management interface command, when issued on server, will now send a RESTART message to client. This feature is intended to make UDP clients respond the same as TCP clients in the case where the server issues a RESTART message in order to force the client to reconnect and pull a new options/route list. 2009.07.16 -- Version 2.1_rc19 * In Windows TAP driver, refactor DHCP/ARP packet injection code to use a DPC (deferred procedure call) to defer packet injection until IRQL < DISPATCH_LEVEL, rather than calling NdisMEthIndicateReceive in the context of AdapterTransmit. This is an attempt to reduce kernel stack usage, and prevent EXCEPTION_DOUBLE_FAULT BSODs that have been observed on Vista. Updated TAP driver version number to 9.6. * In configure.ac, use datadir instead of datarootdir for compatibility with <autoconf-2.60. 2009.06.07 -- Version 2.1_rc18 * Fixed compile error on ./configure --enable-small * Fixed issue introduced in r4475 (2.1-rc17) where cryptoapi.c change does not build on Windows on non-MINGW32. 2009.05.30 -- Version 2.1_rc17 * Reduce the debug level (--verb) at which received management interface commands are echoed from 7 to 3. Passwords will be filtered. * Fixed race condition in management interface recv code on Windows, where sending a set of several commands to the management interface in quick succession might cause the latter commands in the set to be ignored. * Increased management interface input command buffer size from 256 to 1024 bytes. * Minor tweaks to Windows build system. * Added "redirect-private" option which allows private subnets to be pushed to the client in such a way that they don't accidently obscure critical local addresses such as the DHCP server address and DNS server addresses. * Added new 'autolocal' redirect-gateway flag. When enabled, the OpenVPN client will examine the routing table and determine whether (a) the OpenVPN server is reachable via a locally connected interface, or (b) traffic to the server must be forwarded through the default router. Only add a special bypass route for the OpenVPN server if (b) is true. If (a) is true, behave as if the 'local' flag is specified, and do not add a bypass route. The new 'autolocal' flag depends on the non-portable test_local_addr() function in route.c, which is currently only implemented for Windows. The 'autolocal' flag will act as a no-op on platforms that have not yet defined a test_local_addr() function. * Increased TLS_CHANNEL_BUF_SIZE to 2048 from 1024 (this will allow for more option content to be pushed from server to client). * Raised D_MULTI_DROPPED debug level to 4 from 3 to filter out (at debug levels <=3) a common and usually innocuous warning. * Fixed issue of symbol conflicts interfering with Windows CryptoAPI functionality (Alon Bar-Lev). * Fixed bug where the remote_X environmental variables were not being set correctly when the 'local' option is specifed. 2009.05.17 -- Version 2.1_rc16 * Windows installer changes: 1. ifdefed out the check Windows version code which is causing problems on Windows 7 2. don't define SF_SELECTED if it is already defined 3. Use LZMA instead of BZIP2 compression for better compression 4. Upgraded OpenSSL to 0.9.8k * Added the ability to read the configuration file from stdin, when "stdin" is given as the config file name. * Allow "management-client" directive to be used with unix domain sockets. * Added errors-to-stderr option. When enabled, fatal errors that result in the termination of the daemon will be written to stderr. * Added optional "nogw" (no gateway) flag to --server-bridge to inhibit the pushing of the route-gateway parameter to clients. * Added new management interface command "pid" to show the process ID of the current OpenVPN process (Angelo Laub). * Fixed issue where SIGUSR1 restarts would fail if private key was specified as an inline file. * Added daemon_start_time and daemon_pid environmental variables. * In management interface, added new ">CLIENT:ESTABLISHED" notification. * Build fixes: 1. Fixed some issues with C++ style comments that leaked into the code. 2. Updated configure.ac to work on MinGW64. 3. Updated common.h types for _WIN64. 4. Fixed issue involving an #ifdef in a macro reference that breaks early gcc compilers. 5. In cryptoapi.c, renamed CryptAcquireCertificatePrivateKey to OpenVPNCryptAcquireCertificatePrivateKey to work around a symbol conflict in MinGW-5.1.4. 2008.11.19 -- Version 2.1_rc15 * Fixed issue introduced in 2.1_rc14 that may cause a segfault when a --plugin module is used. * Added server-side --opt-verify option: clients that connect with options that are incompatible with those of the server will be disconnected (without this option, incompatible clients would trigger a warning message in the server log but would not be disconnected). * Added --tcp-nodelay option: Macro that sets TCP_NODELAY socket flag on the server as well as pushes it to connecting clients. * Minor options check fix: --no-name-remapping is a server-only option and should therefore generate an error when used on the client. * Added --prng option to control PRNG (pseudo-random number generator) parameters. In previous OpenVPN versions, the PRNG was hardcoded to use the SHA1 hash. Now any OpenSSL hash may be used. This is part of an effort to remove hardcoded references to a specific cipher or cryptographic hash algorithm. * Cleaned up man page synopsis. 2008.11.16 -- Version 2.1_rc14 * Added AC_GNU_SOURCE to configure.ac to enable struct ucred, with the goal of fixing a build issue on Fedora 9 that was introduced in 2.1_rc13. * Added additional method parameter to --script-security to preserve backward compatibility with system() call semantics used in OpenVPN 2.1_rc8 and earlier. To preserve backward compatibility use: script-security 3 system * Added additional warning messages about --script-security 2 or higher being required to execute user-defined scripts or executables. * Windows build system changes: Modified Windows domake-win build system to write all openvpn.nsi input files to gen, so that gen can be disconnected from the rest of the source tree and makensis openvpn.nsi will still function correctly. Added additional SAMPCONF_(CA|CRT|KEY) macros to settings.in (commented out by default). Added optional files SAMPCONF_CONF2 (second sample configuration file) and SAMPCONF_DH (Diffie-Helman parameters) to Windows build system, and may be defined in settings.in. * Extended Management Interface "bytecount" command to work when OpenVPN is running as a server. Documented Management Interface "bytecount" command in management/management-notes.txt. * Fixed informational message in ssl.c to properly indicate deferred authentication. * Added server-side --auth-user-pass-optional directive, to allow connections by clients that do not specify a username/password, when a user-defined authentication script/module is in place (via --auth-user-pass-verify, --management-client-auth, or a plugin module). * Changes to easy-rsa/2.0/pkitool and related openssl.cnf: Calling scripts can set the KEY_NAME environmental variable to set the "name" X509 subject field in generated certificates. Modified pkitool to allow flexibility in separating the Common Name convention from the cert/key filename convention. For example: KEY_CN="James's Laptop" KEY_NAME="james" ./pkitool james will create a client certificate/key pair of james.crt/james.key having a Common Name of "James's Laptop" and a Name of "james". * Added --no-name-remapping option to allow Common Name, X509 Subject, and username strings to include any printable character including space, but excluding control characters such as tab, newline, and carriage-return (this is important for compatibility with external authentication systems). As a related change, added --status-version 3 format (and "status 3" in the management interface) which uses the version 2 format except that tabs are used as delimiters instead of commas so that there is no ambiguity when parsing a Common Name that contains a comma. Also, save X509 Subject fields to environment, using the naming convention: X509_{cert_depth}_{name}={value} This is to avoid ambiguities when parsing out the X509 subject string since "/" characters could potentially be used in the common name. * Fixed some ifconfig-pool issues that precluded it from being combined with --server directive. Now, for example, we can configure thusly: server 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0 nopool ifconfig-pool 10.8.0.2 10.8.0.99 255.255.255.0 to have ifconfig-pool manage only a subset of the VPN subnet. * Added config file option "setenv FORWARD_COMPATIBLE 1" to relax config file syntax checking to allow directives for future OpenVPN versions to be ignored. 2008.10.07 -- Version 2.1_rc13 * Bundled OpenSSL 0.9.8i with Windows installer. * Management interface can now listen on a unix domain socket, for example: management /tmp/openvpn unix Also added management-client-user and management-client-group directives to control which processes are allowed to connect to the socket. * Copyright change to OpenVPN Technologies, Inc. 2008.09.23 -- Version 2.1_rc12 * Patched Makefile.am so that the new t_cltsrv-down.sh script becomes part of the tarball (Matthias Andree). * Fixed --lladdr bug introduced in 2.1-rc9 where input validation code was incorrectly expecting the lladdr parameter to be an IP address when it is actually a MAC address (HoverHell). 2008.09.14 -- Version 2.1_rc11 * Fixed a bug that can cause SSL/TLS negotiations in UDP mode to fail if UDP packets are dropped. 2008.09.10 -- Version 2.1_rc10 * Added "--server-bridge" (without parameters) to enable DHCP proxy mode: Configure server mode for ethernet bridging using a DHCP-proxy, where clients talk to the OpenVPN server-side DHCP server to receive their IP address allocation and DNS server addresses. * Added "--route-gateway dhcp", to enable the extraction of the gateway address from a DHCP negotiation with the OpenVPN server-side LAN. * Fixed minor issue with --redirect-gateway bypass-dhcp or bypass-dns on Windows. If the bypass IP address is 0.0.0.0 or 255.255.255.255, ignore it. * Warn when ethernet bridging that the IP address of the bridge adapter is probably not the same address that the LAN adapter was set to previously. * When running as a server, warn if the LAN network address is the all-popular 192.168.[0|1].x, since this condition commonly leads to subnet conflicts down the road. * Primarily on the client, check for subnet conflicts between the local LAN and the VPN subnet. * Added a 'netmask' parameter to get_default_gateway, to return the netmask of the adapter containing the default gateway. Only implemented on Windows so far. Other platforms will return 255.255.255.0. Currently the netmask information is only used to warn about subnet conflicts. * Minor fix to cryptoapi.c to not compile itself unless USE_CRYPTO and USE_SSL flags are enabled (Alon Bar-Lev). * Updated openvpn/t_cltsrv.sh (used by "make check") to conform to new --script-security rules. Also adds retrying if the addresses are in use (Matthias Andree). * Fixed build issue with ./configure --disable-socks --disable-http. * Fixed separate compile errors in options.c and ntlm.c that occur on strict C compilers (such as old versions of gcc) that require that C variable declarations occur at the start of a {} block, not in the middle. * Workaround bug in OpenSSL 0.9.6b ASN1_STRING_to_UTF8, which the new implementation of extract_x509_field_ssl depends on. * LZO compression buffer overflow errors will now invalidate the packet rather than trigger a fatal assertion. * Fixed minor compile issue in ntlm.c (mid-block declaration). * Added --allow-pull-fqdn option which allows client to pull DNS names from server (rather than only IP address) for --ifconfig, --route, and --route-gateway. OpenVPN versions 2.1_rc7 and earlier allowed DNS names for these options to be pulled and translated to IP addresses by default. Now --allow-pull-fqdn will be explicitly required on the client to enable DNS-name-to-IP-address translation of pulled options. * 2.1_rc8 and earlier did implicit shell expansion on script arguments since all scripts were called by system(). The security hardening changes made to 2.1_rc9 no longer use system(), but rather use the safer execve or CreateProcess system calls. The security hardening also introduced a backward incompatibility with 2.1_rc8 and earlier in that script parameters were no longer shell-expanded, so for example: client-connect "docc CLIENT-CONNECT" would fail to work because execve would try to execute a script called "docc CLIENT-CONNECT" instead of "docc" with "CLIENT-CONNECT" as the first argument. This patch fixes the issue, bringing the script argument semantics back to pre 2.1_rc9 behavior in order to preserve backward compatibility while still using execve or CreateProcess to execute the script/executable. * Modified ip_or_dns_addr_safe, which validates pulled DNS names, to more closely conform to RFC 3696: (1) DNS name length must not exceed 255 characters (2) DNS name characters must be limited to alphanumeric, dash ('-'), and dot ('.') * Fixed bug in intra-session TLS key rollover that was introduced with deferred authentication features in 2.1_rc8. 2008.07.31 -- Version 2.1_rc9 * Security Fix -- affects non-Windows OpenVPN clients running OpenVPN 2.1-beta14 through 2.1-rc8 (OpenVPN 2.0.x clients are NOT vulnerable nor are any versions of the OpenVPN server vulnerable). An OpenVPN client connecting to a malicious or compromised server could potentially receive an "lladdr" or "iproute" configuration directive from the server which could cause arbitrary code execution on the client. A successful attack requires that (a) the client has agreed to allow the server to push configuration directives to it by including "pull" or the macro "client" in its configuration file, (b) the client successfully authenticates the server, (c) the server is malicious or has been compromised and is under the control of the attacker, and (d) the client is running a non-Windows OS. Credit: David Wagner. CVE-2008-3459 * Miscellaneous defensive programming changes to multiple areas of the code. In particular, use of the system() call for calling executables such as ifconfig, route, and user-defined scripts has been completely revamped in favor of execve() on unix and CreateProcess() on Windows. * In Windows build, package a statically linked openssl.exe to work around observed instabilities in the dynamic build since the migration to OpenSSL 0.9.8h. 2008.06.11 -- Version 2.1_rc8 * Added client authentication and packet filtering capability to management interface. In addition, allow OpenVPN plugins to take advantage of deferred authentication and packet filtering capability. * Added support for client-side connection profiles. * Fixed unbounded memory growth bug in environmental variable code that could have caused long-running OpenVPN sessions with many TLS renegotiations to incrementally increase memory usage over time. * Windows release now packages openssl-0.9.8h. * Build system changes -- allow building on Windows using autoconf/automake scripts (Alon Bar-Lev). * Changes to Windows build system to make it easier to do partial builds, with a reduced set of prerequisites, where only a subset of OpenVPN installer components are built. See ./domake-win comments. * Cleanup IP address for persistence interfaces for tap and also using ifconfig, gentoo#209055 (Alon Bar-Lev). * Fall back to old version of extract_x509_field for OpenSSL 0.9.6. * Clarified tcp-queue-limit man page entry (Matti Linnanvuori). * Added new OpenVPN icon and installer graphic. * Minor pkitool changes. * Added --pkcs11-id-management option, which will cause OpenVPN to query the management interface via the new NEED-STR asynchronous notification query to get additional PKCS#11 options (Alon Bar-Lev). * Added NEED-STR management interface asynchronous query and "needstr" management interface command to respond to the query (Alon Bar-Lev). * Added Dragonfly BSD support (Francis-Gudin). * Quote device names before passing to up/down script (Josh Cepek). * Bracketed struct openvpn_pktinfo with #pragma pack(1) to prevent structure padding from causing an incorrect length to be returned by sizeof (struct openvpn_pktinfo) on 64-bit platforms. * On systems that support res_init, always call it before calling gethostbyname to ensure that resolver configuration state is current. * Added NTLMv2 proxy support (Miroslav Zajic). * Fixed an issue in extract_x509_field_ssl where the extraction would fail on the first field of the subject name, such as the common name in: /CN=foo/emailAddress=foo@bar.com * Made "Linux ip addr del failed" error nonfatal. * Amplified --client-cert-not-required warning. * Added #pragma pack to proto.h. 2008.01.29 -- Version 2.1_rc7 * Added a few extra files that exist in the svn repo but were not being copied into the tarball by make dist. * Fixup null interface on close, don't use ip addr flush (Alon Bar-Lev). 2008.01.24 -- Version 2.1_rc6 * Fixed options checking bug introduced in rc5 where legitimate configuration files might elicit the error: "Options error: Parameter pkcs11_private_mode can only be specified in TLS-mode, i.e. where --tls-server or --tls-client is also specified." 2008.01.23 -- Version 2.1_rc5 * Fixed Win2K TAP driver bug that was introduced by Vista fixes, incremented driver version to 9.4. * Windows build system changes: Incremented included OpenSSL version to openssl-0.9.7m. Updated openssl.patch for openssl-0.9.7m and added some brief usage comments to the head of the patch. Added build-pkcs11-helper.sh for building the pkcs11-helper library. Integrated inclusion of pkcs11-helper into Windows build system. Upgraded TAP build scripts to use WDK 6001.17121 (Windows 2008 Server pre-RTM). * Windows installer changes: Clean up the start menu folder. Allow for a site-specific sample configuration file and keys to be included in a custom installer (see SAMPCONF macros in settings.in). New icon (temporary). * Added "forget-passwords" command to the management interface (Alon Bar-Lev). * Added --management-signal option to signal SIGUSR1 when the management interface disconnects (Alon Bar-Lev). * Modified command line and config file parser to allow quoted strings using single quotes ('') (Alon Bar-Lev). * Use pkcs11-helper as external library, can be downloaded from https://www.opensc-project.org/pkcs11-helper (Alon Bar-Lev). * Fixed interim memory growth issue in TCP connect loop where "TCP: connect to %s failed, will try again in %d seconds: %s" is output. * Fixed bug in epoll driver in event.c, where the lack of a handler for EPOLLHUP could cause 99% CPU usage. * Defined ALLOW_NON_CBC_CIPHERS for people who don't want to use a CBC cipher for OpenVPN's data channel. * Added PLUGIN_LIBDIR preprocessor string to prepend a default plugin directory to the dlopen search list when the user specifies the basename of the plugin only (Marius Tomaschewski). * Rewrote extract_x509_field and modified COMMON_NAME_CHAR_CLASS to allow forward slash characters ("/") in the X509 common name (Pavel Shramov). * Allow OpenVPN to run completely unprivileged under Linux by allowing openvpn --mktun to be used with --user and --group to set the UID/GID of the tun device node. Also added --iproute option to allow an alternative command to be executed in place of the default iproute2 command (Alon Bar-Lev). * Fixed --disable-iproute2 in ./configure to actually disable iproute2 usage (Alon Bar-Lev). * Added --management-forget-disconnect option -- forget passwords when management session disconnects (Alon Bar-Lev). 2007.04.25 -- Version 2.1_rc4 * Worked out remaining issues with TAP driver signing on Vista x64. OpenVPN will now run on Vista x64 with driver signing enforcement enabled. * Fixed 64-bit portability bug in time_string function (Thomas Habets). 2007.04.22 -- Version 2.1_rc3 * Additional fixes to TAP driver for Windows x64. Driver now runs successfully on Vista x64 if driver signing enforcement is disabled. * The Windows Installer and TAP driver are now signed by OpenVPN Solutions LLC (in addition to the usual GnuPG signatures). * Added OpenVPN GUI (Mathias Sundman version) as install option in Windows installer. * Clean up configure on FreeBSD for recent autotool versions that require that all .h files have to be compiled. Also, FreeBSD install does not support GNU long options which the Makefile in easy-rsa/2.0 uses (not checked the others as we don't install those on Gentoo) (Roy Marples). * Added additional scripts to easy-rsa/Windows for working with password-protected keys; also add -extensions server option when generating server cert via build-key-server-pass.bat (Daniel Zauft). 2007.02.27 -- Version 2.1_rc2 * auth-pam change: link with -lpam rather than dlopen (Roy Marples). * Prevent SIGUSR1 or SIGHUP from causing program exit from initial management hold. * SO_REUSEADDR should not be set on Windows TCP sockets because it will cause bind to succeed on port conflicts. * Added time_ascii, time_duration, and time_unix environmental variables for plugins and callback scripts. * Fixed issue where OpenVPN does not apply the --txqueuelen option to persistent interfaces made with --mktun (Roy Marples). * Attempt at rational signal handling when in the management hold state. During management hold, ignore SIGUSR1/SIGHUP signals thrown with the "signal" command. Also, "signal" command will now apply remapping as specified with the --remap-usr1 option. When a signal entered using the "signal" command from a management hold is ignored, output: >HOLD:Waiting for hold release * Fixed issue where struct env_set methods that change the value of an existing name=value pair would delay the freeing of the memory held by the previous name=value pair until the underlying client instance object is closed. This could cause a server that handles long-term client connections, resulting in many periodic calls to verify_callback, to needlessly grow the env_set memory allocation until the underlying client instance object is closed. * Renamed TAP-Win32 driver from tap0801.sys to tap0901.sys to reflect the fact that Vista has blacklisted the tap0801.sys file name due to previous compatibility issues which have now been resolved. TAP-Win32 major/minor version number is now 9/1. * Windows installer will delete a previously installed tap0801.sys TAP driver before installing tap0901.sys. * Added code to Windows installer to fail gracefully on 64 bit installs until 64-bit TAP driver issues can be resolved. * Added code to Windows installer to fail gracefully on versions of Windows which are not explicitly supported. * The Windows version will now use a default route-delay of 5 seconds to deal with an apparent routing table race condition on Vista. * Worked around an incompatibility in the Windows Vista version of CreateIpForwardEntry as described in http://www.nynaeve.net/?p=59 This issue would cause route additions using the IP Helper API to fail on Vista. * On Windows, revert to "ip-win32 dynamic" as the default. 2006.10.31 -- Version 2.1_rc1 * Support recovery (return to hold) from signal at management password prompt. * Added workaround for OpenSC PKCS#11 bug#108 (Alon Bar-Lev). 2006.10.01 -- Version 2.1-beta16 * Windows installer updated with OpenSSL 0.9.7l DLLs to fix published vulnerabilities. * Fixed TAP-Win32 bug that caused BSOD on Windows Vista (Henry Nestler). * Autodetect 32/64 bit Windows in installer and install appropriate TAP driver (Mathias Sundman, Hypherion). * Fixed bug in loopback self-test introduced in 2.1-beta15 where self test as invoked by "make check" would not properly exit after 2 minutes (Paul Howarth). 2006.09.12 -- Version 2.1-beta15 * Windows installer updated with OpenSSL 0.9.7k DLLs to fix RSA Signature Forgery (CVE-2006-4339). * Fixed bug introduced with the --port-share directive (back in 2.1-beta9 which causes TLS soft resets (1 per hour by default) in TCP server mode to force a blockage of tunnel packets and later time-out and restart the connection. * easy-rsa update (Alon Bar-Lev) Makefile (install) is now available so that distribs will be able to install it safely. * PKCS#11 changes: (Alon Bar-Lev) - Modified ssl.c to not FATAL and return to init.c so auth-retry will work. - Modifed pkcs11-helper.c to fix some problem with multiple providers. - Added retry counter to PKCS#11 PIN hook. - Modified PKCS#11 PIN retry loop to return correct error code when PIN is incorrect. - Fix handling (ignoring) zero sized attributes. - Fix gcc-2 issues. - Fix openssl 0.9.6 (first version) issues. * Minor fixes of lladdr (Alon Bar-Lev) Updated makefile.w32-vc to include lladdr.*, updated linkage libraries. Modified lladdr.c to be compiled under visual C. * Added two new management states: OPENVPN_STATE_RESOLVE -- DNS lookup OPENVPN_STATE_TCP_CONNECT -- Connecting to TCP server * Echo management state change to log. * Minor syshead.h change for NetBSD to allow TCP_NODELAY flag to work. * Modified --port-share code to remove the assumption that CMSG_SPACE always evaluates to a constant, to enable compilation on NetBSD and possibly other BSDs as well. * Eliminated gcc 3.3.3 warnings on NetBSD when ./configure --enable-strict is used. * Added optional minimum-number-of-bytes parameter to --inactive directive. 2006.04.13 -- Version 2.1-beta14 * Fixed Windows server bug in time backtrack handling code which could cause TLS negotiation failures on legitimate clients. * Rewrote gettimeofday function for Windows to be simpler and more efficient. * Merged PKCS#11 extensions to easy-rsa/2.0 (Alon Bar-Lev). * Added --route-metric option to set a default route metric for --route (Roy Marples). * Added --lladdr option to specify the link layer (MAC) address for the tap interface on non-Windows platforms (Roy Marples). 2006.04.12 -- Version 2.1-beta13 * Code added in 2.1-beta7 and 2.0.6-rc1 to extend byte counters to 64 bits caused a bug in the Windows version which has now been fixed. The bug could cause intermittent crashes. 2006.04.05 -- Version 2.1-beta12 * Security Vulnerability -- An OpenVPN client connecting to a malicious or compromised server could potentially receive "setenv" configuration directives from the server which could cause arbitrary code execution on the client via a LD_PRELOAD attack. A successful attack appears to require that (a) the client has agreed to allow the server to push configuration directives to it by including "pull" or the macro "client" in its configuration file, (b) the client configuration file uses a scripting directive such as "up" or "down", (c) the client succesfully authenticates the server, (d) the server is malicious or has been compromised and is under the control of the attacker, and (e) the attacker has at least some level of pre-existing control over files on the client (this might be accomplished by having the server respond to a client web request with a specially crafted file). Credit: Hendrik Weimer. CVE-2006-1629. The fix is to disallow "setenv" to be pushed to clients from the server, and to add a new directive "setenv-safe" which is pushable from the server, but which appends "OPENVPN_" to the name of each remotely set environmental variable. * "topology subnet" fix for FreeBSD (Benoit Bourdin). * PKCS11 fixes (Alon Bar-Lev). For full description: svn log -r990 http://svn.openvpn.net/projects/openvpn/branches/BETA21 * When deleting routes under Linux, use the route metric as a differentiator to ensure that the route teardown process only deletes the identical route which was originally added via the "route" directive (Roy Marples). * Fix the t_cltsrv.sh file in FreeBSD 4 jails (Matthias Andree, Dirk Meyer, Vasil Dimov). * Extended tun device configure code to support ethernet bridging on NetBSD (Emmanuel Kasper). 2006.02.19 -- Version 2.1-beta11 * Fixed --port-share bug that caused premature closing of proxied sessions. 2006.02.17 -- Version 2.1-beta10 * Fixed --port-share breakage introduced in 2.1-beta9. 2006.02.16 -- Version 2.1-beta9 * Added --port-share option for allowing OpenVPN and HTTPS server to share the same port number. * Added --management-client option to connect as a client to management GUI app rather than be connected to as a server. * Added "bytecount" command to management interface. * --remote-cert-tls fixes (Alon Bar-Lev). 2006.01.03 -- Version 2.1-beta8 * --remap-usr1 will now also remap signals thrown during initialization. * Added --connect-timeout option to control the timeout on TCP client connection attempts (doesn't work on all OSes). This patch also makes OpenVPN signalable during TCP connection attempts. * Fixed bug in acinclude.m4 where capability of compiler to handle zero-length arrays in structs is tested (David Stipp). * Fixed typo in manage.c where inline function declaration was declared without the "static" keyword (David Stipp). * Patch to support --topology subnet on Mac OS X (Mathias Sundman). * Added --auto-proxy directive to auto-detect HTTP or SOCKS proxy settings (currently Windows only). * Removed redundant base64 code. * Better sanity checking of --server and --server-bridge IP pool ranges, so as not to hit the assertion at pool.c:119 (2.0.5). * Fixed bug where --daemon and --management-query-passwords used together would cause OpenVPN to block prior to daemonization. * Fixed client/server race condition which could occur when --auth-retry interact is set and the initially provided auth-user-pass credentials are incorrect, forcing a username/password re-query. * Fixed bug where if --daemon and --management-hold are used together, --user or --group options would be ignored. * --ip-win32 adaptive is now the default. * --ip-win32 netsh (or --ip-win32 adaptive when in netsh mode) can now set DNS/WINS addresses on the TAP-Win32 adapter. * Added new option --route-method adaptive (Win32) which tries IP helper API first, then falls back to route.exe. * Made --route-method adaptive the default. 2005.11.12 -- Version 2.1-beta7 * Allow blank passwords to be passed via the management interface. * Fixed bug where "make check" inside a FreeBSD "jail" would never complete (Matthias Andree). * Fixed bug where --server directive in --dev tap mode claimed that it would support subnets of /30 or less but actually would only accept /29 or less. * Extend byte counters to 64 bits (M. van Cuijk). * Fixed bug in Linux get_default_gateway function introduced in 2.0.4, which would cause redirect-gateway on Linux clients to fail. * Moved easy-rsa 2.0 scripts to easy-rsa/2.0 to be compatible with 2.0.x distribution. * Documented --route-nopull. * Documented --ip-win32 adaptive. * Windows build now linked with LZO2. * Allow ca, cert, key, and dh files to be specified inline via XML-like syntax without needing to reference an explicit file. For example: <ca> data here... </ca> * Allow plugin and push directives to have multi-line parameter lists such as: <plugin> my-plugin.so parm1 parm2 </plugin> * Added connect-retry-max option (Alon Bar-Lev). * Fixed problems where signals thrown during initialization were not returning to a management-hold state. * Added a backtrack-hardened system time algorithm. * Added --remote-cert-ku, --remote-cert-eku, and --remote-cert-tls options for verifying certificate attributes (Alon Bar-Lev). * For Windows, reverted --ip-win32 default back to "dynamic". To use new adaptive mode, set explicitly. 2005.11.01 -- Version 2.1-beta6 * Security fix (merged from 2.0.4) -- Affects non-Windows OpenVPN clients of version 2.0 or higher which connect to a malicious or compromised server. A format string vulnerability in the foreign_option function in options.c could potentially allow a malicious or compromised server to execute arbitrary code on the client. Only non-Windows clients are affected. The vulnerability only exists if (a) the client's TLS negotiation with the server succeeds, (b) the server is malicious or has been compromised such that it is configured to push a maliciously crafted options string to the client, and (c) the client indicates its willingness to accept pushed options from the server by having "pull" or "client" in its configuration file (Credit: Vade79). CVE-2005-3393 * Security fix -- (merged from 2.0.4) Potential DoS vulnerability on the server in TCP mode. If the TCP server accept() call returns an error status, the resulting exception handler may attempt to indirect through a NULL pointer, causing a segfault. Affects all OpenVPN 2.0 versions. CVE-2005-3409 * Fix attempt of assertion at multi.c:1586 (note that this precise line number will vary across different versions of OpenVPN). * Windows reliability changes: (a) Added code to make sure that the local PATH environmental variable points to the Windows system32 directory. (b) Added new --ip-win32 adaptive mode which tries 'dynamic' and then fails over to 'netsh' if the DHCP negotiation fails. (c) Made --ip-win32 adaptive the default. * More PKCS#11 additions/changes (Alon Bar-Lev). * Added ".PHONY: plugin" to Makefile.am to work around "make dist" issue. * Fixed double fork issue that occurs when --management-hold is used. * Moved TUN/TAP read/write log messages from --verb 8 to 6. * Warn when multiple clients having the same common name or username usurp each other when --duplicate-cn is not used. * Modified Windows and Linux versions of get_default_gateway to return the route with the smallest metric if multiple 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 entries are present. * Added ">NEED-OK" alert and "needok" command to management interface to provide a general interface for sending alerts to the end-user. Used by the PKCS#11 code to send Token Insertion Requests to the user. * Added actual remote address used to the ">STATE" alert in the management interface (Rolf Fokkens). 2005.10.17 -- Version 2.1-beta4 * Fixed bug introduced in 2.1-beta3 where management socket bind would fail. * --capath fix in ssl.c (Zhuang Yuyao). * Added ".PHONY: plugin" to Makefile.am, reverted location of "plugin" directory (thanks to Matthias Andree for figuring this out). 2005.10.16 -- Version 2.1-beta3 * Added PKCS#11 support (Alon Bar-Lev). * Enable the use of --ca together with --pkcs12. If --ca is used at the same time as --pkcs12, the CA certificate is loaded from the file specified by --ca regardless if the pkcs12 file contains a CA cert or not (Mathias Sundman). * Merged --capath patch (Thomas Noel). * Merged --multihome patch. * Added --bind option for TCP client connections (Ewan Bhamrah Harley). * Moved "plugin" directory to "plugins" to deal with strange automake problem that ended up being also fixable with ".PHONY: plugin" in Makefile.am. 2005.10.13 -- Version 2.1-beta2 * Made --sndbuf and --rcvbuf pushable. 2005.10.01 -- Version 2.1-beta1 * Made LZO setting pushable. * Renamed sample-keys/tmp-ca.crt to ca.crt. * Fixed bug where remove_iroutes_from_push_route_list was missing routes if those routes had an implied netmask (by omission) of 255.255.255.255. * Merged with 2.0.3-rc1 * easy-rsa/2.0 moved to easy-rsa * old easy-rsa moved to easy-rsa/1.0 2005.09.23 -- Version 2.0.2-TO4 * Added feature to TAP-Win32 adapter to allow it to be opened from non-administrator mode. This feature is enabled by default, and can be enabled/disabled in the adapter advanced properties dialog. * Added --allow-nonadmin standalone option for Windows to set TAP adapter to allow non-admin access. This is a user-mode version of the code, and duplicates the same feature as the above entry. * Added fix that attempts to solve corner case of tunnel not forwarding packets when system clock is reset to an earlier time. * Added --redirect-gateway bypass-dns option. (Developers: To add bypass-dhcp or bypass-dns support to other OSes, add a get_bypass_addresses function to route.c for your OS.) * Added OPENVPN_PLUGIN_CLIENT_CONNECT_V2 plugin callback, which allows a client-connect plugin to return configuration text in memory, rather than via a file. * Fixed a bug where --mode server --proto tcp-server --cipher none operation could cause tunnel packet truncation. * openvpn --version will show [LZO1] or [LZO2], depending on version that was linked. 2005.09.07 -- Version 2.0.2-TO1 * Added --topology directive. See man page. * Added --redirect-gateway bypass-dhcp option to add a route allowing DHCP packets to bypass the tunnel, when the DHCP server is non-local. Currently only implemented on Windows clients. * Modified OpenVPN Service on Windows to declare the DHCP client service as a dependency. * Extended the plugin interface to allow plugins to declare per-client constructor and destructor functions, to make it simpler for plugins to maintain per-client state. 2005.09.25 -- Version 2.0.3-rc1 * openvpn_plugin_abort_v1 function wasn't being properly registered on Windows. * Fixed a bug where --mode server --proto tcp-server --cipher none operation could cause tunnel packet truncation. 2005.08.25 -- Version 2.0.2 * No change from 2.0.2-rc1. 2005.08.24 -- Version 2.0.2-rc1 * Fixed regression bug in Win32 installer, introduced in 2.0.1, which incorrectly set OpenVPN service to autostart. * Don't package source code zip file in Windows installer in order to reduce the size of the installer. The source zip file can always be downloaded separately if needed. * Fixed bug in route.c in FreeBSD, Darwin, OpenBSD and NetBSD version of get_default_gateway. Allocated socket for route manipulation is never freed so number of mbufs continuously grow and exhaust system resources after a while (Jaroslav Klaus). * Fixed bug where "--proto tcp-server --mode p2p --management host port" would cause the management port to not respond until the OpenVPN peer connects. * Modified pkitool script to be /bin/sh compatible (Johnny Lam). 2005.08.16 -- Version 2.0.1 * Security Fix -- DoS attack against server when run with "verb 0" and without "tls-auth". If a client connection to the server fails certificate verification, the OpenSSL error queue is not properly flushed, which can result in another unrelated client instance on the server seeing the error and responding to it, resulting in disconnection of the unrelated client (CAN-2005-2531). * Security Fix -- DoS attack against server by authenticated client. This bug presents a potential DoS attack vector against the server which can only be initiated by a connected and authenticated client. If the client sends a packet which fails to decrypt on the server, the OpenSSL error queue is not properly flushed, which can result in another unrelated client instance on the server seeing the error and responding to it, resulting in disconnection of the unrelated client (CAN-2005-2532). Credit: Mike Ireton. * Security Fix -- DoS attack against server by authenticated client. A malicious client in "dev tap" ethernet bridging mode could theoretically flood the server with packets appearing to come from hundreds of thousands of different MAC addresses, causing the OpenVPN process to deplete system virtual memory as it expands its internal routing table. A --max-routes-per-client directive has been added (default=256) to limit the maximum number of routes in OpenVPN's internal routing table which can be associated with a given client (CAN-2005-2533). * Security Fix -- DoS attack against server by authenticated client. If two or more client machines try to connect to the server at the same time via TCP, using the same client certificate, and when --duplicate-cn is not enabled on the server, a race condition can crash the server with "Assertion failed at mtcp.c:411" (CAN-2005-2534). * Fixed server bug where under certain circumstances, the client instance object deletion function would try to delete iroutes which had never been added in the first place, triggering "Assertion failed at mroute.c:349". * Added --auth-retry option to prevent auth errors from being fatal on the client side, and to permit username/password requeries in case of error. Also controllable via new "auth-retry" management interface command. See man page for more info. * Added easy-rsa 2.0 scripts to the tarball in easy-rsa/2.0 * Fixed bug in openvpn.spec where rpmbuild --define 'without_pam 1' would fail to build. * Implement "make check" to perform loopback tests (Matthias Andree). 2005.07.21 -- Version 2.0.1-rc7 * Support LZO 2.01 which renamed its library to lzo2 (Matthias Andree). * Include linux/types.h before checking for linux/errqueue.h (Matthias Andree). 2005.07.15 -- Version 2.0.1-rc6 * Commented out "user nobody" and "group nobody" in sample client/server config files. * Allow '@' character to be used in --client-config-dir file names. 2005.07.04 -- Version 2.0.1-rc5 * Windows version will log a for-further-info URL when initialization sequence is completed with errors. * Added DLOPEN_PAM parameter to plugin/auth-pam/Makefile to control whether auth-pam plugin links to PAM via dlopen or -lpam. By default, DLOPEN_PAM=1 so pre-existing behavior should be preserved. DLOPEN_PAM=0 is the preferred setting to link via -lpam, but DLOPEN_PAM=1 works around a bug in SuSE 9.1 (and possibly other distros as well) where the PAM modules are not linked with -lpam. See thread on openvpn-devel for more discussion about this patch (Simon Perreault). 2005.06.15 -- Version 2.0.1-rc4 * Support LZO 2.00, including changes to configure script to autodetect LZO version. 2005.06.12 -- Version 2.0.1-rc3 * Fixed a bug which caused standard file handles to not be closed after daemonization when --plugin and --daemon are used together, and if the plugin initialization function forks (as does auth-pam and down-root) (Simon Perreault). * Added client-side up/down scripts in contrib/pull-resolv-conf for accepting server-pushed "dhcp-option DOMAIN" and "dhcp-option DNS" on Linux/Unix systems (Jesse Adelman). * Fixed bug where if client-connect scripts/plugins were cascaded, and one (but not all) of them returned an error status, there might be cases where for an individual script/plugin, client-connect was called but not client-disconnect. The goal of this fix is to ensure that if client-connect is called on a given client instance, then client-disconnect will definitely be called. A potential complication of this fix is that when client-connect functions are cascaded, it's possible that the client-disconnect function would be called in cases where the related client-connect function returned an error status. This fix should not alter OpenVPN behavior when scripts/plugins are not cascaded. * Changed the hard-to-reproduce "Assertion failed at fragment.c:312" fatal error to a warning: "FRAG: outgoing buffer is not empty". Need more info on how to reproduce this one. * When --duplicate-cn is used, the --ifconfig-pool allocation algorithm will now allocate the first available IP address. * When --daemon and --management-hold are used together, OpenVPN will daemonize before it enters the management hold state. 2005.05.16 -- Version 2.0.1-rc2 * Modified vendor test in openvpn.spec file to match against "Mandrakesoft" in addition to "MandrakeSoft". * Using --iroute in a --client-config-dir file while in --dev tap mode is not currently supported and will produce a warning message. Fixed bug where in certain cases, in addition to generating a warning message, this combination of options would also produce a fatal assertion in mroute.c. * Pass --auth-user-pass username to server-side plugin without performing any string remapping (plugins, unlike scripts, don't get any security benefit from string remapping). This is intended to fix an issue with openvpn-auth-pam/pam_winbind where backslash characters in a username ('\') were being remapped to underscore ('_'). * Updated OpenSSL DLLs in Windows build to 0.9.7g. * Documented --explicit-exit-notify in man page. * --explicit-exit-notify seconds parameter defaults to 1 if unspecified. 2005.04.30 -- Version 2.0.1-rc1 * Fixed bug where certain kinds of fatal errors after initialization (such as port in use) would leave plugin processes (such as openvpn-auth-pam) still running. * Added optional openvpn_plugin_abort_v1 plugin function for closing initialized plugin objects in the event of a fatal error by main OpenVPN process. * When the --remote list is > 1, and --resolv-retry is not specified (meaning that it defaults to "infinite"), apply the infinite timeout to the --remote list as a whole, but try each list item only once before moving on to the next item. * Added new --syslog directive which redirects output to syslog without requiring the use of the --daemon or --inetd directives. * Added openvpn.spec option to allow RPM to be built with support for passwords read from a file: rpmbuild -tb [openvpn.x.tar.gz] --define 'with_password_save 1' 2005.04.17 -- Version 2.0 * Fixed minor options string typo in options.c. 2005.04.10 -- Version 2.0-rc21 * Change license description from "GPL Version 2 or (at your option) any later version" to just "GPL Version 2". 2005.04.04 -- Version 2.0-rc20 * Dag Wieers has put together an OpenVPN/LZO binary RPM set with excellent distro/version coverage for RH/EL/Fedora, though using his own SPEC. I modified openvpn.spec to follow some of the same conventions such as putting sample scripts and doc files in %doc rather than /usr/share/openvpn. * Minor change to init scripts to run the user-defined script /etc/openvpn/openvpn-startup (if it exists) before any OpenVPN configs are started, and to run /etc/openvpn/openvpn-shutdown after all OpenVPN configs have been stopped. The openvpn-startup script can be used for stuff like insmod tun.o, setting up firewall rules, or starting ethernet bridges. 2005.03.29 -- Version 2.0-rc19 * Omit additions of routes where the network and gateway are equal and the netmask is 255.255.255.255. This can come up if you are using both server/ifconfig-pool and client-config-dir with ifconfig-push static addresses for some subset of clients which directly reference the server IP address as the remote endpoint. 2005.03.28 -- Version 2.0-rc18 * Packaged Windows installer with OpenSSL 0.9.7f. * Built Windows installer with NSIS 2.06. 2005.03.12 -- Version 2.0-rc17 * "MANAGEMENT: CMD" log file output will now only occur at --verb 7 or greater. * Added an optional name/value configuration list to the openvpn-auth-pam plugin module argument list. See plugin/auth-pam/README for documentation. This is necessary in order for openvpn-auth-pam to work with queries generated by arbitrary PAM modules. * In both auth-pam and down-root plugins, in the forked process, a read error on the parent process socket is no longer fatal. * MandrakeSoft liblzo1 RPM only Provides for a 'liblzo1'. A conditional test of the vendor has been added to Require the appropriately named 'lzo' (liblzo1 / lzo). (Tom Walsh - http://openhardware.net) 2005.02.20 -- Version 2.0-rc16 * Fixed bug introduced in rc13 where Windows service wrapper would be installed with a startup type of Automatic. This fix restores the previous behavior of installing with a startup type of Manual. 2005.02.19 -- Version 2.0-rc15 * Added warning when --keepalive is not used in a server configuration. * Don't include OpenSSL md4.h file if we are not building NTLM proxy support (Waldemar Brodkorb). * Added easy-rsa/build-key-pkcs12 and easy-rsa/Windows/build-key-pkcs12.bat scripts (Mathias Sundman). 2005.02.16 -- Version 2.0-rc14 * Fixed small memory leak that occurs when --crl-verify is used. * Upgraded Windows installer and .nsi script to NSIS 2.05 (Mathias Sundman). * Changed #include backslash usage in cryptoapi.c to use forward slashes instead (Gisle Vanem). * Created easy-rsa/revoke-full to handle revocations in a single step: (a) revoke crt, (b) regenerate CRL, and (c) verify that revocation succeeded. * Renamed easy-rsa/Windows/revoke-key to revoke-full so that both *nix and Windows scripts are equivalent. 2005.02.11 -- Version 2.0-rc13 * Improve human-readability of local/remote options diff, when inconsistencies are present. * For Windows easy-rsa, distribute vars.bat.sample and openssl.cnf.sample, then copy them to their normal filenames (without the .sample) when init-config.bat is run. This is to prevent OpenVPN upgrades from wiping out vars.bat and openssl.cnf edits. * Modified service wrapper (Windows) to use a case-insensitive search when scanning for .ovpn files in \Program Files\OpenVPN\config. Prior versions required an all-lower-case .ovpn file extension. * Miscellaneous service wrapper code cleanup. * If --user/--group is used on Windows, treat it as a no-op with a warning (this makes it easier to distribute the same client config file to Windows and *nix users). * Warn if --ifconfig-pool-persist is used with --duplicate-cn. 2005.02.05 -- Version 2.0-rc12 * Removed some debugging code inadvertently included in rc11 which would print the --auth-user-pass username/password provided by clients in the server logfile. * Client code for cycling through --remote list will retry the last address which successfully authenticated before moving on through the list. * Windows installer will now install sample configuration files in \Program Files\OpenVPN\sample-configs as well as generate a start menu shortcut to this directory. * Minor type change in buffer.[ch] to work around char-type ambiguity bug. Caused management interface lock-ups on ARM when building with armv4b-hardhat-linux-gcc 2.95.3. 2005.02.03 -- Version 2.0-rc11 * Windows installer will now install easy-rsa directory in \Program Files\OpenVPN * Allow syslog facility to be controlled at compile time, e.g. -DLOG_OPENVPN=LOG_LOCAL6 (P Kern). * Changed certain shell scripts in distribution to use #!/bin/sh rather than #!/bin/bash for better portability. * If --ifconfig-pool-persist seconds parameter is 0, treat persist file as an allocation of fixed IP addresses (previous versions took IP-to-common-name associations from this list as hints, not mandatory static allocations). * Fixed bug on *nix where if --auth-user-pass and --log were used together, the username prompt would be sent to the log file rather than /dev/tty. * Spurious text in openvpn.8 detected by doclifter (Eric S. Raymond). * Call closelog later on daemon kill so that process exit message is written to syslog. 2005.01.27 -- Version 2.0-rc10 * When ./configure is run with plugins enabled (the default), check whether or not dlopen exists in libc before testing for libdl. This is to fix an issue on FreeBSD and possibly other OSes which bundle libdl functions in libc. * On Windows, filter initial WSAEINVAL warning which occurs on the initial read attempt of an unbound socket. * The easy-rsa scripts build-key, build-key-pass, and build-key-server will now chmod the .key file to 0600. This is in addition to the fact the generated keys directory has always been similarly protected (Pete Harlan). 2005.01.23 -- Version 2.0-rc9 * Fixed error "ROUTE: route addition failed using CreateIpForwardEntry ..." on Windows when --redirect-gateway is used over a RRAS internet link. * When using --route-method exe on Windows, include the gateway parameter on route delete commands (Mathias Sundman). * Try not to do a hard reset (i.e. SIGHUP) when two SIGUSR1 signals are received in close succession. * If the push list tries to grow beyond its buffer capacity, the resulting error will be non-fatal. * To increase the push list capacity (must be done on both client and server), increase TLS_CHANNEL_BUF_SIZE in common.h (default=1024). 2005.01.15 -- Version 2.0-rc8 * Fixed bug introduced in rc7 where options error "--auth-user-pass requires --pull" might occur even if --pull was correctly specified. * Changed management interface code to bind once to TCP socket, rather than rebinding after every client disconnect. * Added "disable" directive for client-config-dir files. * Windows binary install is now distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7e. * Query the management interface for --http-proxy username/password if authfile is set to "stdin". * Added current OpenVPN version number to "Unrecognized option or missing parameter" error message. * Added "-extensions server" to "openssl req" command in easy-rsa/build-key-server (Nir Yeffet). 2005.01.10 -- Version 2.0-rc7 * Fixed bug in management interface which could cause 100% CPU utilization in --proto tcp-server mode on all *nix OSes except for Linux 2.6. * --ifconfig-push now accepts DNS names as well as IP addresses. * Added sanity check errors when --pull or --auth-user-pass is used in an incorrect mode. * Updated man page entries for --client-connect and --ifconfig-push. * Added "String Types and Remapping" section to man page to consisely document the way which OpenVPN may convert certain types of characters in strings to ('_'). * Modified bridging description in HOWTO to emphasize the fact that bridging allows Windows file and print sharing without a WINS server (Charles Duffy). 2004.12.20 -- Version 2.0-rc6 * Improved checking for epoll support in ./configure to fix false positive on RH9 (Jan Just Keijser). * Made the "MULTI TCP: I/O wait required blocking in multi_tcp_action, action=7" error nonfatal and replaced with "MULTI: Outgoing TUN queue full, dropped packet". So far the issue only seems to occur on Linux 2.2 in --mode server --proto tcp mode. It occurs when the TUN/TAP driver locks up and refuses to accept new packet writes for a second or more. * Fixed bug where if a --client-config-dir file tried to include another file using "config", and if that include failed, OpenVPN would abort with a fatal error. Now such inclusion failures will be logged but are no longer fatal. * Global changes to the way that packet buffer alignment is handled. Previously we didn't care about alignment and took care, when handling 16 and 32 bit words in buffers, to always use alignment-safe transfers. This approach appears to be inadequate on some architectures such as alpha. The new approach is to initialize packet buffers in a way that anticipates how component structures will be allocated within them, to maintain correct alignment. * Added --dhcp-option DISABLE-NBT to disable NetBIOS over TCP (Jan Just Keijser). * Added --http-proxy-option directive for controlling miscellaneous HTTP proxy options. * Management state will no longer transition to "WAIT" during TLS renegotiations. 2004.12.16 -- Version 2.0-rc5 * The --client-config-dir option will now try to open a default file called "DEFAULT" if no file matching the common name of the incoming client was found. * The --client-connect script/plugin can now veto client authentication by returning a failure code. * The --learn-address script/plugin can now prevent a client-instance/address association from being learned by returning a failure code. * Changed RPM group in .spec file to Applications/Internet. 2004.12.14 -- Version 2.0-rc4 * SuSE only -- Fixed interaction between openvpn.spec and suse/openvpn.init where the .spec file was writing the OpenVPN binary to a different location than where the .init script was referencing it (Stefan Engel). * Solaris only -- Split Solaris ifconfig command into two parts (Jan Just Keijser). * Some cleanup in add_option(). * Better error checking on input dotted quad IP addresses. * Verify that --push argument is quoted, if there is more than one. * More miscellaneous option sanity checks. 2004.12.13 -- Version 2.0-rc3 * On Windows, when --log or --log-append is used, save the original stderr for username and password prompts. * Fixed a bug introduced in the late 2.0 betas where if a "verb" parameter >= 16 was used, it would be ignored and the actual verb level would remain at 1. * Fixed a bug mostly seen on OS X where --management-hold or --management-query-passwords would cause the management interface to be unresponsive to incoming client connections. * Trigger an options error if one of the management-modifying options is used without "management" itself. 2004.12.12 -- Version 2.0-rc2 * Amplified warnings in documentation about possible man-in-the-middle attack when clients do not properly verify server certificate. Changes to easy-rsa README, FAQ, HOWTO, man page, and sample client config file. * Added a warning message if --tls-client or --client is used without also specifying one of either --ns-cert-type, --tls-remote, or --tls-verify. * status_open() fixes for MSVC builds (Blaine Fleming). * Fix attempt of "ntlm.c:55: error: `des_cblock' undeclared" compiler error which has been reported on some platforms. * The openvpn.spec file for rpmbuild has several new build-time options. See comments in the file. * Plugins are now built and packaged in the RPM and will be saved in /usr/share/openvpn/plugin/lib. * Added --management-hold directive to start OpenVPN in a hibernating state until released by the management interface. Also added "hold" command to the management interface. 2004.12.07 -- Version 2.0-rc1 * openvpn.spec workaround for SuSE confusion regarding /etc/init.d vs. /etc/rc.d/init.d (Stefan Engel). 2004.12.05 -- Version 2.0-beta20 * The ability to read --askpass and --auth-user-pass passwords from a file has been disabled by default. To re-enable, use ./configure --enable-password-save. * Added additional pre-connected states to management interface. See management/management-notes.txt for more info. * State history is now recorded by the management interface, and the "state" command now works like the log or echo commands. * State history and real-time state change notifications are now prepended with an integer unix timestamp. * Added --http-proxy-timeout option, previously the timeout was hardcoded to 5 seconds. 2004.12.02 -- Version 2.0-beta19 * Fixed bug in management interface line termination where output lines incorrectly contained a \00 char after the customary \0d \0a. * Fixed bug introduced in beta18 where Windows version would segfault on options errors. * Fixed bug in management interface where an empty quoted string ("") entered as a parameter would cause a segfault. * Fixed bug where --resolv-retry was not working properly with multiple --remote hosts. * Added additional ./configure options to reduce executable size for embedded applications. See ./configure --help. 2004.11.28 -- Version 2.0-beta18 * Added management interface. See new --management-* options or the full management interface documentation in management/management-notes.txt in the tarball. Management interface inclusion can be disabled by ./configure --disable-management. * Added two new plugin modules: auth-pam and down-root. Auth-pam supports pam-based authentication using a split privilege execution model, while down-root enables a down script to be executed with root privileges, even when --user/--group is used to drop root privileges. See the plugin directory in the tarball for READMEs, source code, and Makefiles. * Plugin developers should note that some changes were made to the plugin interface since beta17. See openvpn-plugin.h for details. Plugin interface inclusion can be disabled with ./configure --disable-plugins * Added easy-rsa/build-key-server script which will build a certificate with with nsCertType=server. * Added --ns-cert-type option for verification of nsCertType field in peer certificate. * If --fragment n is specified and --mssfix is specified without a parameter, default --mssfix to n. This restores the 1.6 behavior when using --mssfix without a parameter. * Fixed SSL context initialization bug introduced in beta14 where this error might occur on restarts: "Cannot load certificate chain ... PEM_read_bio:no start line". 2004.11.11 -- Version 2.0-beta17 * Changed default port number to 1194 per IANA official port number assignment. * Added --plugin directive which allows compiled modules to intercept script callbacks. See plugin folder in tarball for more info. * Fixed bug introduced in beta12 where --key-method 1 authentications which should have succeeded would fail. * Ignore SIGUSR1 during DNS resolution. * Added SuSE support to openvpn.spec (Umberto Nicoletti). * Fixed --cryptoapicert SUBJ: parsing bug (Peter 'Luna' Runestig). 2004.11.07 -- Version 2.0-beta16 * Modified sample-scripts/auth-pam.pl to get username and password from OpenVPN via a file rather than via environmental variables. * Added bytes_sent and bytes_received environmental variables to be set prior to client-disconnect script. * Changed client virtual IP derivation precedence: (1) use --ifconfig-push directive from --client-connect script, (2) use --ifconfig-push directive from --client-config-dir, and (3) use --ifconfig-pool address. * If a --client-config-dir file specifies --ifconfig-push, it will be visible to the --client-connect-script in the ifconfig_pool_remote_ip environmental variable. * For tun-style tunnels, the ifconfig_pool_local_ip environmental variable will be set, while for tap-style tunnels, the ifconfig_pool_netmask variable will be set. * Added intelligence to autoconf script to test compiler for the accepted form of zero-length arrays. * Fixed a bug introduced in beta12 where --ip-win32 netsh would fail if --dev-node was not explicitly specified. * --ip-win32 netsh will now work on hidden adapters. * Fix attempt of "Assertion failed at crypto.c:149". This assertion has also been reported on 1.x with a slightly different line number. The fix is twofold: (1) In previous releases, --mtu-test may trigger this assertion -- this bug has been fixed. (2) If something else causes the assertion to be thrown, don't panic, just output a nonfatal warning to the log and drop the packet which generated the error. * Support TAP interfaces on Mac OS X (Waldemar Brodkorb). * Added --echo directive. * Added --auth-nocache directive. 2004.10.28 -- Version 2.0-beta15 * Changed environmental variable character classes so that names must consist of alphanumeric or underbar chars and values must consist of printable characters. Illegal chars will be deleted. Versions prior to 2.0-beta12 were more restrictive and would map spaces to '.'. * On Windows, when the TAP adapter fails to initialize with the correct IP address, output "Initialization Sequence Completed with Errors" to the console or log file. * Added a warning when user/group/chroot is used without persist-tun and persist-key. * Added cryptoapi.[ch] to tarball and source zip. * --tls-remote option now works with common name prefixes as well as with the full X509 subject string. This is a useful alternative to using a CRL on the client. * common names associated with a static --ifconfig-push setting will no longer leave any state in the --ifconfig-pool-persist file. * Hard TLS errors (TLS handshake failed) will now trigger either a SIGUSR1 signal by default or SIGTERM (if --tls-exit is specified). In TCP mode, all TLS errors are considered to be hard. In server mode, the signal will be local to the client instance. * Added method parameter to --auth-user-pass-verify directive to select whether username/password is passed to script via environment or a temporary file. * Added --status-version option to control format of --status file. The --mode server --status-version 2 format now includes a line type token, the virtual IP address is shown in the client list (even in --dev tap mode), and the integer time_t value is shown anywhere an ascii-formatted time/date is also shown. * Added --remap-usr1 directive which can be used to control whether internally or externally generated SIGUSR1 signals are remapped to SIGHUP (restart without persisting state) or SIGTERM (exit). * When running as a Windows service (using --service option), check the exit event before and after reading one line of input from stdin, when reading username/password info. * For developers: Extended the --gremlin function to better stress-test the new 2.0 features, added Valgrind support on Linux and Dmalloc support on Windows. 2004.10.19 -- Version 2.0-beta14 * Fixed a bug introduced in Beta12 that would occur if you use a --client-connect script without also defining --tmp-dir. * Fixed a bug introduced in Beta12 where a learn-address script might segfault on the delete method. * Added Crypto API support in Windows version via the --cryptoapicert option (Peter 'Luna' Runestig). 2004.10.18 -- Version 2.0-beta13 * Fixed an issue introduced in Beta12 where the private key password would not be prompted for unless --askpass was explicitly specified in the config. 2004.10.17 -- Version 2.0-beta12 * Added support for username/password-based authentication. Clients can now authentication themselves with the server using either a certificate, a username/password, or both. New directives: --auth-user-pass, --auth-user-pass-verify, --client-cert-not-required, and --username-as-common-name. * Added NTLM proxy patch (William Preston). * Added --ifconfig-pool-linear server flag to allocate individual tun addresses for clients rather than /30 subnets (won't work with Windows clients). * Modified --http-proxy code to cache username/password across restarts. * Modified --http-proxy code to read username/password from the console when the auth file is given as "stdin". * Modified --askpass to take an optional filename argument. * --persist-tun and --persist-key now work in client mode and can be pushed to clients as well. * Added --ifconfig-pool-persist directive, to maintain ifconfig-pool info in a file which is persistent across daemon instantiations. * --user and --group privilege downgrades as well as --chroot now also work in client mode (the dowgrade/chroot will be delayed until the initialization sequence is completed). * Added --show-engines standalone directive to show available OpenSSL crypto accelerator engine support. * --engine directive now accepts an optional engine-ID parameter to control which engine is used. * "Connection reset, restarting" log message now shows which client is being reset. * Added --dhcp-pre-release directive in Windows version. * Second parm to --ip-win32 can be "default", e.g. --ip-win32 dynamic default 60. * Fixed documentation bug regarding environmental variable settings for --ifconfig-pool IP addresses. The correct environmental variable names are: ifconfig_pool_local_ip and ifconfig_pool_remote_ip. * ifconfig_pool_local_ip and ifconfig_pool_remote_ip environmental variables are now passed to the client-disconnect script. * In server mode, environmental variables are now scoped according to the client they are associated with, to solve the problem of "crosstalk" between different client's environmental variable sets. * Added --down-pre flag to cause --down script to be called before TUN/TAP close (rather than after). * Added --tls-exit flag which will cause OpenVPN to exit on any TLS errors. * Don't push a route to a client if it exactly matches an iroute (this lets you push routes to all clients, and OpenVPN will automatically remove the route from the route push list only for that client which the route actually belongs to). * Made '--resolv-retry infinite' the default. --resolv-retry can be disabled by using a parameter of 0. * For clients which plan to pull config info from server, set an initial default ping-restart of 60 seconds. * Optimized mute code to lessen the load on the processor when messages are being muted at a higher frequency. * Made route log messages non-mutable. * Silence the Linux "No buffer space available" message. * Added miscellaneous additional option sanity checks. * Added Windows version of easy-rsa scripts in easy-rsa/Windows directory (Andrew J. Richardson). * Added NetBSD route patch (Ed Ravin). * Added OpenBSD patch for TAP + --redirect-gateway (Waldemar Brodkorb). * Directives which prompt for a username and/or password will now work with --daemon (OpenVPN will prompt before forking). * Warn if CRL is from a different issuer than the issuer of the peer certificate (Bernhard Weisshuhn). * Changed init script chkconfig parameters to start OpenVPN daemon(s) before NFS. * Bug fix attempt of "too many I/O wait events" which occurs on OSes which prefer select() over poll() such as Mac OS X. * Added --ccd-exclusive flag. This flag will require, as a condition of authentication, that a connecting client has a --client-config-dir file. * TAP-Win32 open code will attempt to open a free adapter if --dev-node is not specified (Mathias Sundman). * Resequenced --nice and --chroot ordering so that --nice occurs first. * Added --suppress-timestamps flag (Charles Duffy). * Source code changes to allow compilation by MSVC (Peter 'Luna' Runestig). * Added experimental --fast-io flag which optimizes TUN/TAP/UDP writes on non-Windows systems. 2004.08.18 -- Version 2.0-beta11 * Added --server, --server-bridge, --client, and --keepalive helper directives. See client.conf and server.conf in sample-config-files for sample configurations which use the new directives. * On Windows, added --route-method to control whether IP Helper API or route.exe is used to add/delete routes. * On Windows, added a second parameter to --route-delay to control the maximum time period to wait for the TAP-Win32 adapter to come up before adding routes. * Fixed bug in Windows version where configurations which omit --ifconfig might fail to recognize when the TAP adapter is up. * Proxy connection failures will now retry according to the --connect-retry parameter. * Fixed --dev null handling on Windows so that TLS loopback test described in INSTALL file works correctly on Windows. * Added "Initialization Sequence Completed" message after all initialization steps have been completed and the VPN can be considered "up". * Better sanity-checking on --ifconfig-pool parameters. * Added --tcp-queue-limit option to control TUN/TAP -> TCP socket overflow. * --ifconfig-nowarn flag will now silence general warnings about possible --ifconfig address conflicts, including the warning about --ifconfig and --remote addresses being in same /24 subnet. * Fixed case where server mode did not correctly identify certain types of ethernet multicast packets (Marcel de Kogel). * Added --explicit-exit-notify option (experimental). 2004.08.02 -- Version 2.0-beta10 * Fixed possible reference after free of option strings after a restart, bug was introduced in beta8. * Fixed segfault at route.c:919 in the beta9 Windows version that was being caused by indirection through a NULL pointer. * Mistakenly built debug version of TAP-Win32 driver for beta9. Beta10 has correct release build. 2004.07.30 -- Version 2.0-beta9 * Fixed --route issue on Windows that was introduced with the new beta8 route implementation based on the IP Helper API. 2004.07.27 -- Version 2.0-beta8 * Added TCP support in server mode. * Added PKCS #12 support (Mathias Sundman). * Added patch to make revoke-crt and make-crl work seamlessly within the easy-rsa environment (Jan Kiszka). * Modified --mode server ethernet bridge code to forward special IEEE 802.1d MAC Groups, i.e. 01:80:C2:XX:XX:XX. * Added --dhcp-renew and --dhcp-release flags to Windows version. Normally DHCP renewal and release on the TAP adapter occurs automatically under Windows, however if you set the TAP-Win32 adapter Media Status property to "Always Connected", you may need these flags. * Added --show-net standalone flag to Windows version to show OpenVPN's view of the system adapter and routing tables. * Added --show-net-up flag to Windows version to output the system routing table and network adapter list to the log file after the TAP-Win32 adapter has been brought up and any routes have been added. * Modified Windows version to add routes using the IP Helper API rather than by calling route.exe. * Fixed bug where --route-up script was not being called if no --route options were specified. * Added --mute-replay-warnings to suppress packet replay warnings. This is a common false alarm on WiFi nets. * Added "def1" flag to --redirect-gateway option to override the default gateway by using 0.0.0.0/1 and 128.0.0.0/1 rather than 0.0.0.0/0. This has the benefit of overriding but not wiping out the original default gateway. (Thanks to Jim Carter for pointing out this idea). * You can now run OpenVPN with a single config file argument. For example, you can now say "openvpn config.conf" rather than "openvpn --config config.conf". * On Windows, made --route and --route-delay more adaptive with respect to waiting for interfaces referenced by the route destination to come up. Routes added by --route should now be added as soon as the interface comes up, rather than after an obligatory 10 second delay. The way this works internally is that --route-delay now defaults to 0 on Windows. Previous versions would wait for --route-delay seconds then add the routes. This version will wait --route-delay seconds and then test the routing table at one second intervals for the next 30 seconds and will not add the routes until they can be added without errors. * On Windows, don't setsockopt SO_SNDBUF or SO_RCVBUF by default on TCP/UDP socket in light of reports that this action can have undesirable global side effects on the MTU settings of other adapters. These parameters can still be set, but you need to explicitly specify --sndbuf and/or --rcvbuf. * Added --max-clients option to limit the maximum number of simultaneously connected clients in server mode. * Added error message to illuminate shell escape gotcha when single backslashes are used in Windows path names. * Added optional netmask parm to --ifconfig-pool. * Fixed bug where http-proxy connect retry attempts were incorrectly going to the remote OpenVPN server, not to the HTTP proxy server. 2004.06.29 -- Version 2.0-beta7 * Fixed bug in link_socket_verify_incoming_addr() which under certain circumstances could have caused --float behavior even if --float was not specified. * --tls-auth option now works with --mode server. All clients and the server should use the same --tls-auth key when operating in client/server mode. * Added --engine option to make use of OpenSSL-supported crypto acceleration hardware. * Fixed some high verbosity print format size issues in event.c for 64 bit platforms (Janne Johansson). * Made failure to open --log or --log-append file a non-fatal error. 2004.06.23 -- Version 2.0-beta6 * Fixed Windows installer to intelligently put up a reboot dialog only if tapinstall tells us that it's really necessary. * Fixed "Assertion failed at fragment.c:309" bug when --mode server and --fragment are used together. * Ignore HUP, USR1, and USR2 signals during initialization. Prior versions would abort. * Fixed bug on OS X: "Assertion failed at event.c:406". * Added --service option to Windows version, for use when OpenVPN is being programmatically instantiated by another process (see man page for info). * --log and --log-append options now work on Windows. * Update OpenBSD INSTALL notes (Janne Johansson). * Enable multicast on tun interface when running on OpenBSD (Pavlin Radoslavov). * Fixed recent --test-crypto breakage, where options such as --cipher were not being parsed correctly. * Modified options compatibility string by removing ifconfig substring if it is empty. Incremented options compatibility string version number to 4. * Fixed typo in --tls-timeout option parsing (Mikael Lonnroth). 2004.06.13 -- Version 2.0-beta5 * Fixed rare --mode server crash that could occur if data was being routed to a client at high bandwidth at the precise moment that the client instance object on the server was being deleted. * Fixed issue on machines which have epoll.h and the epoll_create glibc call defined, but which don't actually implement epoll in the kernel. OpenVPN will now gracefully fall back to the poll API in this case. * Fixed Windows bug which would cause the following error in a --mode server --dev tap configuration: "resource limit WSA_MAXIMUM_WAIT_EVENTS has been exceeded". * Added CRL (certificate revocation list) management scripts to easy-rsa directory (Jon Bendtsen). * Do a better job of getting the ifconfig component of the options consistency check to work correctly when --up-delay is used. * De-inlined some functions which were too complex to be inlined anyway with gcc. * If a --dhcp-option option is pushed to a non-windows client, the option will be saved in the client's environment before the --up script is called, under the name "foreign_option_{n}". * Added --learn-address script (see man page) which allows for firewall access through the VPN to be controlled based on the client common name. * In mode --server mode, when a client connects to the server, the server will disconnect any still-active clients which use the same common name. Use --duplicate-cn flag to revert to previous behavior of allowing multiple clients to concurrently connect with the same common name. 2004.06.08 -- Version 2.0-beta4 * Fixed issue with beta3 where Win32 service wrapper was keying off of old TAP HWID as a dependency. To ensure that the new service wrapper is correctly installed, the Windows install script will uninstall the old wrapper before installing the new one, causing a reset of service properties. * Fixed permissions issue on --status output file, with default access permissions of owner read/write only (default permissions can be changed of course with chmod). 2004.06.05 -- Version 2.0-beta3 * More changes to TAP-Win32 driver's INF file which affects the placement of the driver in the Windows device namespace. This is done to work around an apparent bug in Windows when short HWIDs are used, and will also ease the upgrade from 1.x to 2.0 by reducing the chances that a reboot will be needed on upgrade. Like beta2, this upgrade will delete existing TAP-Win32 interfaces, and reinstall a single new interface with default properties. * Major rewrite of I/O event wait layer in the style of libevent. This is a precursor to TCP support in --mode server. * New feature: --status. Outputs a SIGUSR2-like status summary to a given file, updated once per n seconds. The status file is comma delimited for easy machine parsing. * --ifconfig-pool now remembers common names and will try to assign a consistent IP to a given common name. Still to do: persist --ifconfig-pool memory across restarts by saving state in file. * Fixed bug in event timer queue which could cause recurring timer events such as --ping to not correctly schedule again after firing. This in turn would cause spurrious ping restarts and possible connection outages. Thanks to Denis Vlasenko for tracking this down. * Possible fix to reported bug where --daemon argument was not printing to syslog correctly after restart. * Fixed bug where pulling --route or --dhcp-option directives from a server would problematically interact with --persist-tun on the client. * Updated contrib/multilevel-init.patch (Farkas Levente). * Added RPM build option to .spec and .spec.in files to optionally disable LZO inclusion (Ian Pilcher). * The latest MingW runtime and headers define 'ssize_t', so a patch is needed (Gisle Vanem). 2004.05.14 -- Version 2.0-beta2 * Fixed signal handling bug in --mode server, where SIGHUP and SIGUSR1 were treated as SIGTERM. * Changed the TAP-Win32 HWID from "TAP" to "TAPDEV". Apparently the larger string may work around a problem where the TAP adapter is sometimes missing from the network connections panel, especially under XP SP2. Also note that installing this upgrade will uninstall any pre-existing TAP-Win32 adapters, and then install a single new adapter, meaning that old adapter properties will be lost. Thanks to Md5Chap for solving this one. * For --mode server --dev tap, the options --ifconfig and --ifconfig-pool are now optional. This allows address assignment via DHCP or use of a TAP VPN without IP support, as has always been possible with 1.x. * Fixed bug where --ifconfig may not work correctly on Linux 2.2. * Added 'local' flag to --redirect-gateway for use on networks where both OpenVPN daemons are connected to a shared subnet, such as wireless. 2004.05.09 -- Version 2.0-beta1 * Unchanged from test29 except for version number upgrade. 2004.05.08 -- Version 2.0-test29 * Modified --dev-node on Windows to accept a TAP-Win32 GUID name. In addition, --show-adapters will now display the high-level name and GUID of each adapter. This is an attempt to work around an issue in Windows where sometimes the TAP-Win32 adapter installs correctly but has no icon in the network connections control panel. In such cases, being able to specify --dev-node {TAP-GUID} can work around the missing icon. 2004.05.07 -- Version 2.0-test28 * Fixed bug which could cause segfault on program shutdown if --route and --persist-tun are used together. 2004.05.06 -- Version 2.0-test27 * Fixed bug in close_instance() which might cause memory to be accessed after it had already been freed. * Fixed bug in verify_callback() that might have caused uninitialized data to be referenced. * --iroute now allows full CIDR subnet routing. * In "--mode server --dev tun" usage, source addresses on VPN packets coming from a particular client must be associated with that client in the OpenVPN internal routing table. 2004.04.28 -- Version 2.0-test26 * Optimized broadcast path in multi-client mode. * Added socket buffer size options --rcvbuf & --sndbuf. * Configure Linux tun/tap driver to use a more sensible txqueuelen default. Also allow explicit setting via --txqueuelen option (Harald Roelle). * The --remote option now allows the port number to be specified as the second parameter. If unspecified, the port number defaults to the --rport value. * Multiple --remote options on the client can now be specified for load balancing and failover. The --remote-random flag can be used to initially randomize the --remote list for basic load balancing. * If a remote DNS name resolves to multiple DNS addresses, one will be chosen by random as a kind of basic load-balancing feature if --remote-random is used. * Added --connect-freq option to control maximum new connection frequency in multi-client mode. * In multi-client mode, all syslog messages associated with a specific client now include a client-ID prefix. * For Windows, use a gettimeofday() function based on QueryPerformanceCounter (Derek Burdick). * Fixed bug in interaction between --key-method 2 and DES ciphers, where dynamic keys would be generated with bad parity and then be rejected. 2004.04.17 -- Version 2.0-test24 * Reworked multi-client broadcast handling. 2004.04.13 -- Version 2.0-test23 * Fixed bug in --dev tun --client-to-client routing. * Fixed a potential deadlock in --pull. * Fixed a problem with select() usage which could cause a repeating sequence of "select : Invalid argument (code=22)" 2004.04.11 -- Version 2.0-test22 * Fixed bug where --mode server + --daemon was prematurely closing syslog connection. * Added support for --redirect-gateway on Mac OS X (Jeremy Apple). * Minor changes to TAP-Win32 driver based on feedback from the NDISTest tool. 2004.04.11 -- Version 2.0-test21 * Optimizations in multi-client server event loop. 2004.04.10 -- Version 2.0-test20 * --mode server capability now works with either tun or tap interfaces. When used with tap interfaces, OpenVPN will internally bridge all client tap interfaces with the server tap interface. * Connecting clients can now have a client-specific configuration on the server, based on the client common name embedded in the client certificate. See --client-config-dir and --client-connect. These options can be used to configure client-specific routes. * Added an option --client-to-client that enables internal client-to-client routing or bridging. Otherwise, clients will only "see" the server, not other connected clients. * Fixed bug in route scheduling which would have caused --mode server to not work on Windows in test18 and test19 with the sample config file. * Man page is up to date with all new options. * OpenVPN 2.0 release notes on web site updated with tap-style tunnel examples. 2004.04.02 -- Version 2.0-test19 * Fixed bug where routes pushed from server were not working correctly on Windows clients. * Added Mac OS X route patch (Jeremy Apple). 2004.03.30 -- Version 2.0-test18 * Minor fixes + Windows self-install modified to use OpenSSL 0.9.7d. 2004.03.29 -- Version 2.0-test17 * Fixed some bugs related to instance timeout and deletion. * Extended --push/--pull option to support additional option classes. 2004.03.28 -- Version 2.0-test16 * Successful test of --mode udp-server, --push, --pull, and --ifconfig-pool with server on Linux 2.4 and clients on Linux and Windows. 2004.03.25 -- Version 2.0-test15 * Implemented hash-table lookup of client instances based either on remote UDP address/port or remote ifconfig endpoint. * Implemented a randomized binary tree based scheduler for scalably scheduling a large number of client instance events. Uses the treap data structure and node rotation algorithm to keep the tree balanced. * Initial implementation of ifconfig-pool. * Made --key-method 2 the default. 2004.03.20 -- Version 2.0-test14 * Implemented --push and --pull. 2004.03.20 -- Version 2.0-test13 * Reduced struct tls_multi and --single-session memory footprint. * Modified --single-session flag to be used in multi-client UDP server client instances. 2004.03.19 -- Version 2.0-test12 * Added the key multi-client UDP server options, --mode, --push, --pull, and --ifconfig-pool. * Revamped GC (garbage collection) code to not rely on any global data. * Modifications to thread.[ch] to allow a more flexible thread model. 2004.03.16 -- Version 2.0-test11 * Moved all timer code to interval.h, added new file interval.c. * Fixed missing include. 2004.03.16 -- Version 2.0-test10 * More TAP-Win32 fixes. * Initial debugging and testing of multi.[ch]. 2004.03.14 -- Version 2.0-test9 * Branch merge with 1.6-rc3 * More point-to-multipoint work in multi.[ch]. * Major TAP-Win32 driver restructuring to use NdisMRegisterDevice instead of IoCreateDevice/IoCreateSymbolicLink. * Changed TAP-Win32 symbolic links to use \DosDevices\Global\ pathname prefix. * In the majority of cases, TAP-Win32 should now be able to install and uninstall on Win2K without requiring a reboot. * TAP-Win32 MAC address can now be explicitly set in the adapter advanced properties page. 2004.03.04 -- Version 2.0-test8 * Branch merge with 1.6-rc2. 2004.03.03 -- Version 2.0-test7 * Branch merge with 1.6-rc1.2. 2004.03.02 -- Version 2.0-test6 * Branch merge with 1.6-rc1. 2004.03.02 -- Version 2.0-test5 * Move Socks5 UDP header append/remove to socks.c, and is called from forward.c. * Moved verify statics from ssl.c into struct tls_session. * Wrote multi.[ch] to handle top level of point-to-multipoint mode. * Wrote some code to allow a struct link_socket in a child context to be slaved to the parent context. * Broke up packet read and process functions in forward.c (from socket or tuntap) into separate functions for read and process, so that point-to-point and point-to-multipoint can share the same code. * Expand TLS control channel to allow the passing of configuration commands. * Wrote mroute.[ch] to handle internal packet routing for point-to-multipoint mode. 2004.02.22 -- Version 2.0-test3 * Initial work on UDP multi-client server. * Branch merge of 1.6-beta7 2004.02.14 -- Version 2.0-test2 * Refactorization of openvpn.c into openvpn.[ch] init.[ch] forward.[ch] forward-inline.h occ.[ch] occ-inline.h ping.[ch] ping-inline.h sig.[ch]. Created a master per-tunnel struct context in openvpn.h. * Branch merge of 1.6-beta6.2 2003.11.06 -- Version 2.0-test1 * Initial testbed for 2.0. 2004.05.09 -- Version 1.6.0 * Unchanged from 1.6-rc4 except for version number upgrade. 2004.04.01 -- Version 1.6-rc4 * Made minor customizations to devcon and renamed as tapinstall.exe for Windows version. * Fixed "storage size of `iv' isn't known" build problem on FreeBSD. * OpenSSL 0.9.7d bundled with Windows self-install. 2004.03.13 -- Version 1.6-rc3 * Minor Windows fixes for --ip-win32 dynamic, relating to the way the TAP-Win32 driver responds to a DHCP request from the Windows DHCP client. * The net_gateway environmental variable wasn't being set correctly for called scripts (Paul Zuber). * Added code to determine the default gateway on FreeBSD, allowing the --redirect-gateway option to work (Juan Rodriguez Hervella). 2004.03.04 -- Version 1.6-rc2 * Fixed bug in Windows version where the NetBIOS node-type DHCP option might have been passed even if it was not specified. * Fixed bug in Windows version introduced in 1.6-rc1, where DHCP timeout would be set to 0 seconds if --ifconfig option was used and --ip-win32 option was not explicitly specified. * Added some new --dhcp-option types for Windows version. 2004.03.02 -- Version 1.6-rc1 * For Windows, make "--ip-win32 dynamic" the default. * For Windows, make "--route-delay 10" the default unless --ip-win32 dynamic is not used or --route-delay is explicitly specified. * L_TLS mutex could have been left in a locked state for certain kinds of TLS errors. 2004.02.22 -- Version 1.6-beta7 * Allow scheduling priority increase (--nice) together with UID/GID downgrade (--user/--group). * Code that causes SIGUSR1 restart on TLS errors in TCP mode was not activated in pthread builds. * Save the certificate serial number in an environmental variable called tls_serial_{n} prior to calling the --tls-verify script. n is the current cert chain level. * Added NetBSD IPv6 tunnel capability (also requires a kernel patch) (Horst Laschinsky). * Fixed bug in checking the return value of the nice() function (Ian Pilcher). * Bug fix in new FreeBSD IPv6 over TUN code which was originally added in 1.6-beta5 (Nathanael Rensen). * More Socks5 fixes -- extended the struct frame infrastructure to accomodate proxy-based encapsulation overhead. * Added --dhcp-option to Windows version for setting adapter properties such as WINS & DNS servers. * Use a default route-delay of 5 seconds when --ip-win32 dynamic is specified (only applicable when --route-delay is not explicitly specified). * Added "log_append" registry variable to control whether the OpenVPN service wrapper on Windows opens log files in append (log_append="1") or truncate (log_append="0") mode. The default is truncate. 2004.02.05 -- Version 1.6-beta6 * UDP over Socks5 fix to accomodate Socks5 encapsulation overhead (Christof Meerwald). * Minor --ip-win32 dynamic tweaks (use long lease time, invalidate existing lease with DHCPNAK). 2004.02.01 -- Version 1.6-beta5 * Added Socks5 proxy support (Christof Meerwald). * IPv6 tun support for FreeBSD (Thomas Glanzmann). * Special TAP-Win32 debug mode for Windows self-install that was enabled in beta4 is now turned off. * Added some new Solaris notes to INSTALL (Koen Maris). * More work on --ip-win32 dynamic. 2004.01.27 -- Version 1.6-beta4 * For this beta, the Windows self-install is a debug version and will run slower -- use only for testing. * Reverted the --ip-win32 default back to 'ipapi' from 'dynamic'. * Added the offset parameter to '--ip-win32 dynamic' which can be used to control the address of the masqueraded DHCP server which replies to Windows DHCP requests. * Added a wait/nowait option to --inetd (nowait can only be used with TCP sockets, TLS authentication, and over a bridged configuration -- see FAQ for more info) (Stefan `Sec` Zehl). * Added a build-time capability where TAP-Win32 driver debug messages can be output by OpenVPN at --verb 6 or higher. 2004.01.20 -- Version 1.6-beta2 * Added ./configure --enable-iproute2 flag which uses iproute2 instead of route + ifconfig -- this is necessary for the LEAF Linux distro (Martin Hejl). * Added renewal-time and rebind-time to set of DHCP options returned by the TAP-Win32 driver when "--ip-win32 dynamic" is used. 2004.01.14 -- Version 1.6-beta1 * Fixed --proxy bug that sometimes caused plaintext control info generated by the proxy prior to http CONNECT method establishment to be incorrectly parsed as OpenVPN data. * For Windows version, implemented the "--ip-win32 dynamic" method and made it the default. This method sets the TAP-Win32 adapter IP address and netmask by replying to the kernel's DHCP queries. See the man page for more detailed info. * Added --connect-retry parameter which controls the time interval (in seconds) between connect() retries when --proto tcp-client is used. Previously, this value was hardcoded to 5 seconds, and still defaults as such. * --resolv-retry can now be used with a parameter of "infinite" to retry indefinitely. * Added SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file() to ssl.c for support of multi-level certificate chains (Sten Kalenda). * Fixed --tls-auth incompatibility with 1.4.x and earlier versions of OpenVPN when the passphrase file is an OpenVPN static key file (as generated by --genkey). * Added shell-escape support in config files using the backslash character ("\") so that (for example) double quotes can be passed to the shell. * Added "contrib" subdirectory on tarball, source zip, and CVS containing user-submitted contributions. * Added an optional patch to the Redhat init script to allow the configuration file directory to be a multi-level directory hierarchy (Farkas Levente). See contrib/multilevel-init.patch * Added some scripts and documentation on using Linux "fwmark" iptables rules to enable fine-grained routing control over the VPN (Sean Reifschneider, <jafo@tummy.com>). See contrib/openvpn-fwmarkroute-1.00 2003.11.20 -- Version 1.5.0 * Minor documentation changes. 2003.11.04 -- Version 1.5-beta14 * Fixed build problem with ./configure --disable-ssl that was reported on Debian woody. * Fixed bug where --redirect-gateway could not be used together with --resolv-retry. 2003.11.03 -- Version 1.5-beta13 * Added CRL (certificate revocation list) capability using --crl-verify option (Stefano Bracalenti). * Added --replay-window option for variable replay-protection window sizes. * Fixed --fragment bug which might have caused certain large packets to be sent unfragmented. * Modified --secret and --tls-auth to permit different cipher and HMAC keys to be used for each data flow direction. Also increased static key file size generated by --genkey from 1024 to 2048 bits, where 512 bits each are reserved for send-HMAC, encrypt, receive-HMAC, and decrypt. Key file forward and backward compatibility is maintained. See --secret option documentation on the man page for more info. * Added --tls-remote option (Teemu Kiviniemi). * Fixed --tls-cipher documention regarding correct delimiter usage (Teemu Kiviniemi). * Added --key-method option for selecting alternative data channel key negotiation methods. Method 1 is the default. Method 2 has been added (see man page for more info). * Added French translation of HOWTO to web site (Guillaume Lehmann). * Fixed problem caused by late resolver library load on certain platforms when --resolv-retry and --chroot are used together (Teemu Kiviniemi). * In TCP mode, all decryption or TLS errors will abort the current connection (this is not done in UDP mode because UDP is "connectionless"). * Fixed a TCP client reconnect bug that only occurs on the BSDs, where connect() fails with an invalid argument. This bug was partially (but not completely) fixed in beta7. * Added "route_net_gateway" environmental variable which contains the pre-existing default gateway address from the routing table (there's no standard API for getting the default gateway, so right now this feature only works on Windows or Linux). * Renamed the "route_default_gateway" enviromental variable to "route_vpn_gateway" -- this is the remote VPN endpoint. * The special keywords vpn_gateway, net_gateway, and remote_host can now be used for the network or gateway components of the --route option. See the man page for more info. * Added the --redirect-gateway option to configure the VPN as the default gateway (implemented on Linux and Windows only). * Added the --http-proxy option with basic authentication support for use in TCP client mode. Successfully tested using Squid as the HTTP proxy, with and without authentication. 2003.10.12 -- Version 1.5-beta12 * Fixed Linux-only bug in --mktun and --rmtun which was introduced around beta8 or so, which would cause an error such as "I don't recognize device tun0 as a tun or tap device1". * Added --ifconfig-nowarn option to disable options consistency warnings about --ifconfig parameters. * Don't allow any kind of sequence number backtracking or message reordering when in TCP mode. * Changed beta naming convention to use '_' (underscore) rather than '-' (dash) to pacify rpmbuild. 2003.10.08 -- Version 1.5-beta11 * Modified code in the Windows version which sets the IP address and netmask of the TAP-Win32 adapter using the IP Helper API. Most of the changes involve better error recovery when the IP Helper API returns an error status. See the manual page entry on --ip-win32 for more info. 2003.10.08 -- Version 1.5-beta10 * Added getpass() function for Windows version so that --askpass option works correctly (Stefano Bracalenti). * Added reboot advisory to end of Win32 install script. * Changed crypto code to use pseudo-random IVs rather than carrying forward the IV state from the previous packet. This is in response to item 2 in the following document: http://www.openssl.org/~bodo/tls-cbc.txt which points out weaknesses in TLS's use of the same IV carryforward approach. This change does not break protocol compatibility with previous versions of OpenVPN. * Made a change to the crypto replay protection code to also protect against certain kinds of packet reordering attacks. This change does not break protocol compatibility with previous versions of OpenVPN. * Added --ip-win32 option to provide several choices for setting the IP address on the TAP-Win32 adapter. * #ifdefed out non-CBC crypto modes by default. * Added --up-delay option to delay TUN/TAP open and --up script execution until after connection establishment. This option replaces the earlier windows-only option --tap-delay. 2003.10.01 -- Version 1.5-beta9 * Fixed --route-noexec bug where option was not parsed correctly. * Complain if --dev tun is specified without --ifconfig on Windows. * Fixed bug where TCP connections on windows would sometimes cause an assertion failure. * Added a new flag to TAP-Win32 advanced properties that allows one to set the adapter to be always "connected" even when an OpenVPN process doesn't have it open. The default behavior is to report a media status of connected only when an OpenVPN process has the adapter open. * Rebuilt the Windows self-install distribution with OpenSSL 0.9.7c DLLs in response to an OpenSSL security advisory. 2003.09.30 -- Version 1.5-beta8 * Extended the --ifconfig option to work on tap devices as well as tun devices. * Implemented the --ifconfig option for Windows, by calling the netsh tool. * By default, do an "arp -d *" on Windows after TAP-Win32 open to refresh the MAC cache. This behaviour can be disabled with --no-arp-del. * On Windows, allow the --dev-node parameter (which specifies the name of the TAP-Win32 adapter) to be omitted in cases where there is a single TAP-Win32 adapter on the system which can be assumed to be the default. * Modified the diagnostic --verb 5 debugging level to print 'R' for TCP/UDP read, 'W' for TCP/UDP write, 'r' for TUN/TAP read, and 'w' for TUN/TAP write. * Conditionalize OpenBSD read_tun and write_tun based on tun or tap mode. * Added IPv6 tun support to OpenBSD (Thomas Glanzmann). * Make the --enable-mtu-dynamic ./configure option enabled by default. * Deprecated the --mtu-dynamic run-time option, in favor of --fragment. * DNS names can now be used as --ifconfig parameters. * Significant work on TAP-Win32 driver to bring up to SMP standards. * On Windows, fixed dangling IRP problem if TAP-Win32 driver is unloaded or disabled, while a user-space process has it open. * On Windows, if --tun-mtu is not specified, it will be read from the TAP-Win32 driver via ioctl. * On Windows, added TAP-Win32 driver status info to "F2" keyboard signal (only when run from a console window). * Added --mssfix option to control TCP MSS size (YANO Hirokuni). * Renamed --mtu-dynamic option to --fragment to more accurately reflect its function. Fragment accepts a single parameter which is the upper limit on acceptable UDP packet size. * Changed default --tun-mtu-extra parameter to 32 from 64. * Eliminated reference to malloc.o in configure.ac. * Added tun device emulation to the TAP-Win32 driver. * Added --route and related options. * Added init script for SuSE Linux (Frank Plohmann). * Extended option consistency check between peers to function in all crypto modes, including static-key and cleartext modes. Previously only TLS mode was supported. Disable with --disable-occ. * Overall, increased the amount of configuration option sanity checking, especially of networking parameters. * Added --mtu-test option for empirical MTU measurement. * Added Windows-only option --tap-delay to not set the TAP-Win32 adapter media state to 'connected' until TCP/UDP connection establishment with peer. * Slightly modified --route/--route-delay semantics so that when --route is given without --route-delay, routes are added immediately after tun/tap device open. When --route-delay is specified, routes will be added n seconds after connection initiation, where n is the --route-delay parameter (which can be set to 0). * Made TCP framing error into a non-fatal error that triggers a connection reset. 2003.08.28 -- Version 1.5-beta7 * Fixed bug that caused OpenVPN not to respond to exit/restart signals when --resolv-retry is used and a local or remote DNS name cannot be resolved. * Exported a series of environmental variables with useful info for scripts. See man page for more info. Based on a suggestion by Anthony Ciaravalo. * Moved TCP/UDP socket bind to a point in the initialization before the --up script gets called. This is desirable because (a) a socket bind failure will happen before daemonization, allowing an error status code to be returned to the shell and (b) the possibility is eliminated of a socket bind failure causing the --up script to be run but not the --down script. This change has a side effect that --resolv-retry will no longer work with --local. * Fixed bug where if an OpenVPN TCP server went down and back up again, Solaris or FreeBSD clients would fail to reconnect to it. * Fixed bug that prevented OpenVPN from being run by inetd/xinetd in TCP mode. * Added --log and --log-append options for logging messages to a file. * On Windows, check that the current user is a member of the Administrator group before attempting install or uninstall. 2003.08.16 -- Version 1.5-beta6 * Fixed TAP-Win32 driver to properly increment the Rx/Tx count. 2003.08.14 -- Version 1.5-beta5 * Added user-configurability of the TAP-Win32 adapter MTU through the adapter advanced properties page. * Added Windows Service support. * On Windows, added file association and right-clickability for .ovpn files (OpenVPN config files). 2003.08.05 -- Version 1.5-beta4 * Extra refinements and error checking added to Windows NSIS install script. 2003.08.05 -- Version 1.5-beta3 * Added md5.h include to crypto.c to fix build problem on OpenBSD. * Created a Win32 installer using NSIS. * Removed DelService command from TAP-Win32 INF file. It appears to be not necessary and it interfered with the ability to uninstall and reinstall the driver without needing to reboot. * On Windows version, added "addtap" and "deltapall" batch files to add and delete TAP-Win32 adapter instances. 2003.07.31 -- Version 1.5-beta2 * Renamed INSTALL.w32 to INSTALL-win32.txt and reformatted in Windows ASCII so it's easier to click and view. * Added postscript and PDF versions of the HOWTO to the web site (C R Zamana). * Merged Michael Clarke's stability patch into TAP-Win32 driver which appears to fix the suspend/resume driver bug and significantly improve driver stability. * Added Christof Meerwald's Media Status patch to the TAP-Win32 driver which shows the TAP adapter to be disconnected when OpenVPN is not running. * Moved socket connect and TCP server listen code to a later point in openvpn() function so that the TCP server listen state is entered after daemonization. * Added keyboard shortcuts to simulate signals in the Windows version, see the window title bar for descriptions. 2003.07.24 -- Version 1.5-beta1 * Added TCP support via the new --proto option. * Renamed udp-centric options such as --udp-mtu to --link-mtu (old option names preserved for compatibility). * Ported to Windows 2000 + XP using mingw and a TAP driver derived from the Cipe-Win32 project by Damion K. Wilson. * Added --show-adapters flag for windows version. * Reworked the SSL/TLS packet acknowledge code to better handle certain corner cases. * Turned off the default enabling of IP forwarding in the sample-scripts/openvpn.init script for Redhat. Forwarding can be enabled by users in their --up scripts or firewall config. * Added --up-restart option based on suggestion from Sean Reifschneider. * If --dev tap or --dev-type tap is specified, --tun-mtu defaults to 1500 and --tun-mtu-extra defaults to 64. * Enabled --verb 5 debugging mode that prints 'R' and 'W' for each packet read or write on the TCP/UDP socket. 2003.08.04 -- Version 1.4.3 * Added md5.h include to crypto.c to fix build problem on OpenBSD. 2003.07.15 -- Version 1.4.2 * Removed adaptive bandwidth from --mtu-dynamic -- its absence appears to work better than its existence (1.4.1.2). * Minor changes to --shaper to fix long retransmit timeouts at low bandwidth (1.4.1.2). * Added LOG_RW flag to openvpn.h for debugging (1.4.1.2). * Silenced spurious configure warnings (1.4.1.2). * Backed out --dev-name patch, modified --dev to offer equivalent functionality (1.4.1.4). * Added an optional parameter to --daemon and --inetd to support the passing of a custom program name to the system logger (1.4.1.5). * Add compiled-in options to the program title (1.4.1.5). * Coded the beginnings of a WIN32 port (1.4.1.5). * Succeeded in porting to Win32 Mingw environment and running loopback tests (1.4.1.6). Still need a kernel driver for full Win32 functionality. * Fixed a bug in error.h where HAVE_CPP_VARARG_MACRO_GCC was misspelled. This would have caused a significant slowdown of OpenVPN when built by compilers that lack ISO C99 vararg macros (1.4.1.6). * Created an init script for Gentoo Linux in ./gentoo directory (1.4.1.6). 2003.05.15 -- Version 1.4.1 * Modified the Linux 2.4 TUN/TAP open code to fall back to the 2.2 TUN/TAP interface if the open or ioctl fails. * Fixed bug when --verb is set to 0 and non-fatal socket errors occur, causing 100% CPU utilization. Occurs on platorms where EXTENDED_SOCKET_ERROR_CAPABILITY is defined, such as Linux 2.4. * Fixed typo in tun.c that was preventing OpenBSD build. * Added --enable-mtu-dynamic configure option to enable --mtu-dynamic experimental option. 2003.05.07 -- Version 1.4.0 * Added --replay-persist feature to allow replay protection across sessions. * Fixed bug where --ifconfig could not be used with --tun-mtu. * Added --tun-mtu-extra parameter to deal with the situation where a read on a TUN/TAP device returns more data than the device's MTU size. * Fixed bug where some IPv6 support code for Linux was not being properly ifdefed out for Linux 2.2, causing compile errors. * Added OPENVPN_EXIT_STATUS_x codes to openvpn.h to control which status value openvpn returns to its caller (such as a shell or inetd/xinetd) for various conditions. * Added OPENVPN_DEBUG_COMMAND_LINE flag to openvpn.h to allow debugging in situations where stdout, stderr, and syslog cannot be used for message output, such as when OpenVPN is instantiated by inetd/xinetd. * Removed owner-execute permission from file created by static key generator (Herbert Xu and Alberto Gonzalez Iniesta). * Added --passtos option to allow IPv4 TOS bits to be passed from TUN/TAP input packets to the outgoing UDP socket (Craig Knox). * Added code to prevent open socket file descriptors from being accessible to called scripts. * Added --dev-name option (Christian Lademann). * Added --mtu-disc option for manual control over MTU options. * Show OS MTU value on UDP socket write failures (linux only). * Numerous build system and portability fixes (Matthias Andree). * Added better sensing of compiler support for variable argument macros, including (a) gcc style, (b) ISO C 1999 style, and (c) no support. * Removed generated files from CVS. Note INSTALL file for new CVS build commands. * Changed certain internal symbol names for C standards compliance. * Added TUN/TAP open code to cycle dynamically through unit numbers until it finds a free unit (based on code from Thomas Gielfeldt and VTun). * Added dynamic MTU and fragmenting infrastructure (Experimental). Rebuild with FRAGMENT_ENABLE defined to enable. * Minor changes to SSL/TLS negotiation, use exponential backoff on retransmits, and use a smaller MTU size (note that no protocol changes have been made which would break compatibility with 1.3.x). * Added --enable-strict-options flag to ./configure. This option will cause a more strict check for options compatibility between peers when SSL/TLS negotiation is used, but should only be used when both OpenVPN peers are of the same version. * Reorganization of debugging levels. * Added a workaround in configure.ac for default SSL header location on Linux to fix RH9 build problem. * Fixed potential deadlock when pthread support is used on OSes that allocate a small socketpair() message buffer. * Fixed openvpn.init to be sh compliant (Bishop Clark). * Changed --daemon to wait until all initialization is finished before becoming a daemon, for the benefit of initialization scripts that want a useful return status from the openvpn command. * Made openvpn.init script more robust, including positive indication of initialization errors in the openvpn daemon and better sanity checks. * Changed --chroot to wait until initialization is finished before calling chroot(), and allow the use of --user and --group with --chroot. * When syslog logging is enabled (--daemon or --inetd), set stdin/stdout/stderr to point to /dev/null. * For inetd instantiations, dup socket descriptor to a >2 value. * Fixed bug in verify-cn script, where test would incorrectly fail if CN=x was the last component of the X509 composite string (Anonymous). * Added Markus F.X.J. Oberhumer's special license exception to COPYING. 2002.10.23 -- Version 1.3.2 * Added SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list call to follow the canonical form for TLS initialization recommended by the OpenSSL docs. This change allows better support for intermediate CAs and has no impact on security. * Added build-inter script to easy-rsa package, to facilitate the generation of intermediate CAs. * Ported to NetBSD (Dimitri Goldin). * Fixed minor bug in easy-rsa/sign-req. It refers to openssl.cnf file, instead of $KEY_CONFIG, like all other scripts (Ernesto Baschny). * Added --days 3650 to the root CA generation command in the HOWTO to override the woefully small 30 day default (Dominik 'Aeneas' Schnitzer). * Fixed bug where --ping-restart would sometimes not re-resolve remote DNS hostname. * Added --tun-ipv6 option and related infrastructure support for IPv6 over tun. * Added IPv6 over tun support for Linux (Aaron Sethman). * Added FreeBSD 4.1.1+ TUN/TAP driver notes to INSTALL (Matthias Andree). * Added inetd/xinetd support (--inetd) including documentation in the HOWTO. * Added "Important Note on the use of commercial certificate authorities (CAs) with OpenVPN" to HOWTO based on issues raised on the openvpn-users list. 2002.07.10 -- Version 1.3.1 * Fixed bug in openvpn.spec and openvpn.init which caused RPM upgrade to fail. 2002.07.10 -- Version 1.3.0 * Added --dev-node option to allow explicit selection of tun/tap device node. * Removed mlockall call from child thread, as it doesn't appear to be necessary (child thread inherits mlockall state from parent). * Added --ping-timer-rem which causes timer for --ping-exit and --ping-restart not to run unless we have a remote IP address. * Added condrestart to openvpn.init and openvpn.spec (Bishop Clark). * Added --ifconfig case for FreeBSD (Matthias Andree). * Call openlog with facility=LOG_DAEMON (Matthias Andree). * Changed LOG_INFO messages to LOG_NOTICE. * Added warning when key files are group/others accessible. * Added --single-session flag for TLS mode. * Fixed bug where --writepid would segfault if used with an invalid filename. * Fixed bug where --ipchange status message was formatted incorrectly. * Print more concise error message when system() call fails. * Added --disable-occ option. * Added --local, --remote, and --ifconfig options sanity check. * Changed default UDP MTU to 1300 and TUN/TAP MTU to 1300. * Successfully tested with OpenSSL 0.9.7 Beta 2. * Broke out debug level definitions to errlevel.h * Minor documentation and web site changes. * All changes maintain protocol compatibility with OpenVPN versions since 1.1.0, however default MTU changes will require setting the MTU explicitly by command line option, if you want 1.3.0 to communicate with previous versions. 2002.06.12 -- Version 1.2.1 * Added --ping-restart option to restart connection on ping timeout using SIGUSR1 logic (Matthias Andree). * Added --persist-tun, --persist-key, --persist-local-ip, and --persist-remote-ip options for finer-grained control over SIGUSR1 and --ping-restart restarts. To replicate previous SIGUSR1 functionality, use --persist-remote-ip. * Changed residual IV fetching code to take IV from tail of ciphertext. * Added check to make sure that CFB or OFB cipher modes are only used with SSL/TLS authentication mode, and added a caveat to INSTALL. * Changed signal handling during initialization (including re-initialization during restarts) to exit on SIGTERM or SIGINT and ignore other signals which would ordinarily be caught. * Added --resolv-retry option to allow retries on hostname resolution. * Expanded the --float option to also allow dynamic changes in source port number on incoming datagrams. * Added --mute option to limit repetitive logging of similar message types. * Added --group option to downgrade GID after initialization. * Try to set ifconfig path automatically in configure. * Added --ifconfig code for Mac OS X (Christoph Pfisterer). * Moved "Peer Connection Initiated" message to --verb level 1. * Successfully tested with OpenSSL 0.9.7 Beta 1 and AES cipher. * Added RPM notes to INSTALL. * Added ACX_PTHREAD (from the autoconf macro archive) to configure.ac to figure out the right pthread options for a given platform. * Broke out macro definitions from configure.ac to acinclude.m4. * Minor changes to docs and HOWTO. * All changes maintain protocol compatibility with OpenVPN versions since 1.1.0. 2002.05.22 -- Version 1.2.0 * Added configuration file support via the --config option. * Added pthread support to improve latency. With pthread support, OpenVPN will offload CPU-intensive tasks such as RSA key number crunching to a background thread to improve tunnel packet forwarding latency. pthread support can be enabled with the --enable-pthread configure option. Pthread support is currently available only for Linux and Solaris. * Added --dev-type option so that tun/tap device names don't need to begin with "tun" or "tap". * Added --writepid option to write main process ID to a file. * Numerous portability fixes to ease porting to other OSes including changing all network types to uint8_t and uint32_t, and not assuming that time_t is 32 bits. * Backported to OpenSSL 0.9.5. * Ported to Solaris. * Finished OpenBSD port except for pthread support. * Added initialization script: sample-scripts/openvpn.init (Douglas Keller) * Ported to Mac OS X (Christoph Pfisterer). * Improved resilience to DoS attacks when TLS mode is used without --remote or --tls-auth, or when --float is used with --remote. Note however that the best defense against DoS attacks in TLS mode is to use --tls-auth. * Eliminated automake/autoconf dependency for non-developers. * Ported configure.in to configure.ac and autoconf 2.50+. * SIGHUP signal now causes OpenVPN to restart and re-read command line and or config file, in conformance with canonical daemon behaviour. * SIGUSR1 now does what SIGHUP did in version 1.1.1 and earlier -- close and reopen the UDP socket for use when DHCP changes host's IP address and preserve most recently authenticated peer address without rereading config file. * SIGUSR2 added -- outputs current statistics, including compression statistics. * All changes maintain protocol compatibility with 1.1.1 and 1.1.0. 2002.04.22 -- Version 1.1.1 * Added --ifconfig option to automatically configure TUN device. * Added inactivity disconnect (--inactive and --ping-exit options). * Added --ping option to keep stateful firewalls from timing out. * Added sanity check to command line parser to err if any TLS options are used in non-TLS mode. * Fixed build problem with compiler environments that define printf as a macro. * Fixed build problem on linux systems that have an integrated TUN/TAP driver but lack the persistent tunnel feature (TUNSETPERSIST). Some linux kernels >= 2.4.0 and < 2.4.7 fall into this category. * Changed all calls to EVP_CipherInit to use explicit encrypt/decrypt mode in order to fix problem with IDEA-CBC and AES-256-CBC ciphers. * Minor changes to control channel transmit limiter algorithm to fix problem where TLS control channel might not renegotiate within the default 60 second window. * Simplified man page examples by taking advantage of the new --ifconfig option. * Minor changes to configure.in to check more rigourously for OpenSSL 0.9.6 or greater. * Put back openvpn.spec, eliminated openvpn.spec.in. * Modified openvpn.spec to reflect new automake-based build environment (Bishop Clark). * Other documentation changes. * Added --test-crypto option for debugging. * Added "missing" and "mkinstalldirs" automake support files. 2002.04.09 -- Version 1.1.0 * Strengthened replay protection and IV handling, extending it fully to both static key and TLS dynamic key exchange modes. * Added --mlock option to disable paging and ensure that key material and tunnel data is never paged to disk. * Added optional traffic shaping feature to cap the maximum data rate of the tunnel. * Converted to automake (The Platypus Brothers 2002-04-01). * Ported to OpenBSD by Janne Johansson. * Added --tun-af-inet option to work around an incompatibility between Linux and BSD tun drivers. * Sequence number-based replay protection using the IPSec sliding window model is now the default, disable with --no-replay. * Explicit IV is now the default, disable with --no-iv. * Disabled all cipher modes except CBC, CFB, and OFB. * In CBC mode, use explicit IV and carry forward residuals, using IPSec model. * In CFB/OFB mode, IV is timestamp, sequence number. * Eliminated --packet-id, --timestamp, and max-delta parameter to the --tls-auth option as they are now supplanted by improved replay code which is enabled by default. * Eliminated --rand-iv as it is now obsolete with improved IV code. * Eliminated --reneg-err option as it increases vulnerability to DoS attacks. * Added weak key check for DES ciphers. * --tls-freq option is no longer specified on the command line, instead it now inherits its parameter from the --tls-timeout option. * Fixed bug that would try to free memory on exit that was never malloced if --comp-lzo was not specified. * Errata fixed in the man page examples: "test-ca" should be "tmp-ca". * Updated manual page. * Preliminary work in porting to OpenSSL 0.9.7. * Changed license to allowing linking with OpenSSL. 2002.03.29 -- Version 1.0.3 * Fixed a problem in configure with library ordering on the command line. 2002.03.28 -- Version 1.0.2 * Improved the efficiency of the inner event loop. * Fixed a minor bug with timeout handling. * Improved the build system to build on RH 6.2 through 7.2. * Added an openvpn.spec file for RPM builders (Bishop Clark). 2002.03.23 -- Version 1.0 * Added TLS-based authentication and key exchange. * Added gremlin mode to stress test. * Wrote man page. 2001.12.26 -- Version 0.91 * Added any choice of cipher or HMAC digest. 2001.5.13 -- Version 0.90 * Initial release. * IP tunnel over UDP, with blowfish cipher and SHA1 HMAC signature. |
