Martin Weinelt c9fef6230a dnsmasq: 2.80 → 2.81
Fixes: CVE-2019-14834

A vulnerability was found in dnsmasq before version 2.81, where the
memory leak allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service
(memory consumption) via vectors involving DHCP response creation.

Changelog:

version 2.81
	Improve cache behaviour for TCP connections. For ease of
	implementaion, dnsmasq has always forked a new process to handle
	each incoming TCP connection. A side-effect of this is that
	any DNS queries answered from TCP connections are not cached:
	when TCP connections were rare, this was not a problem.
	With the coming of DNSSEC, it is now the case that some
	DNSSEC queries have answers which spill to TCP, and if,
	for instance, this applies to the keys for the root, then
	those never get cached, and performance is very bad.
	This fix passes cache entries back from the TCP child process to
	the main server process, and fixes the problem.

	Remove the NO_FORK compile-time option, and support for uclinux.
	In an era where everything has an MMU, this looks like
	an anachronism, and it adds to (Ok, multiplies!) the
	combinatorial explosion of compile-time options. Thanks to
	Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for the patch.

	Fix line-counting when reading /etc/hosts and friends; for
	correct error messages. Thanks to Christian Rosentreter
	for reporting this.

	Fix bug in DNS non-terminal code, added in 2.80, which could
	sometimes cause a NODATA rather than an NXDOMAIN reply.
	Thanks to Norman Rasmussen, Sven Mueller and Maciej Żenczykowski
	for spotting and diagnosing the bug and providing patches.

	Support TCP-fastopen (RFC-7413) on both incoming and
	outgoing TCP connections, if supported and enabled in the OS.

	Improve kernel-capability manipulation code under Linux. Dnsmasq
	now fails early if a required capability is not available, and
	tries not to request capabilities not required by its
	configuration.

	Add --shared-network config. This enables allocation of addresses
	by the DHCP server in subnets where the server (or relay) does not
	have an interface on the network in that subnet. Many thanks to
	kamp.de for sponsoring this feature.

	Fix broken contrib/lease_tools/dhcp_lease_time.c. A packet
	validation check got borked in commit 2b38e382 and release 2.80.
	Thanks to Tomasz Szajner for spotting this.

	Fix compilation against nettle version 3.5 and later.

	Fix spurious DNSSEC validation failures when the auth section
	of a reply contains unsigned RRs from a signed zone,
	with the exception that NSEC and NSEC3 RRs must always be signed.
        Thanks to Tore Anderson for spotting and diagnosing the bug.

	Add --dhcp-ignore-clid. This disables reading of DHCP client
	identifier option (option 61), so clients are only identified by
	MAC addresses.

	Fix a bug which stopped --dhcp-name-match from working when a hostname
	is supplied in --dhcp-host. Thanks to James Feeney for spotting this.

	Fix bug which caused very rarely caused zero-length DHCPv6 packets.
	Thanks to Dereck Higgins for spotting this.

	Add --tftp-single-port option.

	Enhance --conf-dir to load files in a deterministic order. Thanks to
	Evgenii Seliavka for the suggestion and initial patch.

	In the router advert code, handle case where we have two
	different interfaces on the same IPv6 net, and we are doing
	RA/DHCP service on only one of them. Thanks to NIIBE Yutaka
	for spotting this case and making the initial patch.

	Support prefixed ranges of ipv6 addresses in dhcp-host.
	This eases problems chain-netbooting, where each link in the
	chain requests an address using a different UID. With a single
	address, only one gets the "static" address, but with this
	fix, enough addresses can be reserved for all the stages of the
	boot. Many thanks to Harald Jensås for his work on this idea and
	earlier patches.

	Add filtering by tag of --dhcp-host directives. Based on a patch
	by Harald Jensås.

	Allow empty server spec in --rev-server, to match --server.

	Remove DSA signature verification from DNSSEC, as specified in
	RFC 8624. Thanks to Loganaden Velvindron for the original patch.

	Add --script-on-renewal option.

Nixpkgs is a collection of over 40,000 software packages that can be installed with the Nix package manager. It also implements NixOS, a purely-functional Linux distribution.

Manuals

  • NixOS Manual - how to install, configure, and maintain a purely-functional Linux distribution

Community

Other Project Repositories

The sources of all official Nix-related projects are in the NixOS organization on GitHub. Here are some of the main ones:

Continuous Integration and Distribution

Nixpkgs and NixOS are built and tested by our continuous integration system, Hydra.

Artifacts successfully built with Hydra are published to cache at https://cache.nixos.org/. When successful build and test criteria are met, the Nixpkgs expressions are distributed via Nix channels.

Contributing

Nixpkgs is among the most active projects on GitHub. While thousands of open issues and pull requests might seem a lot at first, it helps consider it in the context of the scope of the project. Nixpkgs describes how to build over 40,000 pieces of software and implements a Linux distribution. The GitHub Insights page gives a sense of the project activity.

Community contributions are always welcome through GitHub Issues and Pull Requests. When pull requests are made, our tooling automation bot, OfBorg will perform various checks to help ensure expression quality.

The Nixpkgs maintainers are people who have assigned themselves to maintain specific individual packages. We encourage people who care about a package to assign themselves as a maintainer. When a pull request is made against a package, OfBorg will notify the appropriate maintainer(s). The Nixpkgs committers are people who have been given permission to merge.

Most contributions are based on and merged into these branches:

  • master is the main branch where all small contributions go
  • staging is branched from master, changes that have a big impact on Hydra builds go to this branch
  • staging-next is branched from staging and only fixes to stabilize and security fixes with a big impact on Hydra builds should be contributed to this branch. This branch is merged into master when deemed of sufficiently high quality

For more information about contributing to the project, please visit the contributing page.

Donations

The infrastructure for NixOS and related projects is maintained by a nonprofit organization, the NixOS Foundation. To ensure the continuity and expansion of the NixOS infrastructure, we are looking for donations to our organization.
