This allows us to use getaddrinfo(), getnameinfo() and related functions, which
allow tinc to make connections over existing IPv6 networks. These functions are
not available on Windows 2000 however. By default, support is enabled, but when
compiling for Windows 2000 the configure switch --with-windows2000 should be
used.
Since getaddrinfo() et al. are not functions but macros on Windows, we have to
use AC_CHECK_DECLS() instead of AC_CHECK_FUNCS() in configure.in.
We used both rand() and random() in our code. Since it returns an int, we have
to use %x in our format strings instead of %lx. This fixes a crash under
Windows when cross-compiling tinc with a recent version of MinGW.
If two pointers do not belong to the same array, pointer subtraction gives
nonsensical results, depending on the level of optimisation and the
architecture one is compiling for. It is apparently not just subtracting the
pointer values and dividing by the size of the object, but uses some kind of
higher magic not intended for mere mortals. GCC will not warn about this at
all. Casting to void * is also a no-no, because then GCC does warn that strict
aliasing rules are being broken. The only safe way to query the ordering of two
pointers is to use the (in)equality operators.
The unsafe implementation of connection_compare() has probably caused the "old
connection_t for ... still lingering" messages. Our implementation of AVL trees
is augmented with a doubly linked list, which is normally what is traversed.
Only when deleting an old connection the tree itself is traversed.
If PMTUDiscovery is enabled, and we see a unicast packet that is larger than
the path MTU in switch mode, treat it just like we would do in router mode.
PMTUDiscovery was disabled in commit d5b56bbba5
because tinc did not handle packets larger than the path MTU in switch and hub
modes. We now allow it again in preparation of proper support, but default to
off.
Commit 5674bba5c5 introduced weighted Subnets,
but the weight was included in the SUBNET variable passed to subnet-up/down
scripts. This makes it harder to use in those scripts. The weight is now
stripped from the SUBNET variable and put in the WEIGHT variabel.
Grzegorz Dymarek noted that tinc segfaults at the stat() call in
execute_script() on the iPhone. We can omit the stat() call for the moment,
the subsequent call to system() will fail with just a warning.
This is a slightly modified patch from Grzegorz Dymarek that allows tinc to use
the tunemu device, which allows tinc to be compiled for iPhones and recent
iPods. To enable support for tunemu, the --enable-tunemu option has to be used
when running the configure script.
Tinc is licensed under the GPL version 2 or later. To ensure autoconf does not
install the wrong license if COPYING is missing, we have to put the right one
in place.
These functions wrap asprintf() and vasprintf(), and check the return value. If
the function failed, tinc will exit with an error message, similar to xmalloc()
and friends.
Valgrind caught tinc reading free'd memory during a purge(). This was caused by
first removing it from the main node tree, which will already call free_node(),
and then removing it from the UDP tree. This might cause spurious segmentation
faults.
Although we select() before we call recvfrom(), it sometimes happens that
select() tells us we can read but a subsequent read fails anyway. This is
harmless.
If there is an outstanding MTU probe event for a node which is not reachable
anymore, a UDP packet would be sent to that node, which caused a key request to
be sent to that node, which triggered a NULL pointer dereference. Probes and
other UDP packets to unreachable nodes are now dropped.
When chrooted, we either need to force-initialize resolver
and/or nsswitch somehow (no clean way) or resolve all the
names we want before entering chroot jail. The latter
looks cleaner, easier and it is actually safe because
we still don't talk with the remote nodes there, only
initiating outgoing connections.
This option can be set to low, normal or high. On UNIX flavours, this changes
the nice value of the process by +10, 0 and -10 respectively. On Windows, it
sets the priority to BELOW_NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS, NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS and
HIGH_PRIORITY_CLASS respectively.
A high priority might help to reduce latency and packet loss on the VPN.
If a host has multiple addresses on an interface, the source address of the TCP
connection(s) was picked by the operating system while the UDP packets used a
bound socket, i. e. the source address was the address specified by the user.
This caused problems because the receiving code requires the TCP connection and
the UDP connection to originate from the same IP address.
This patch adds support for the `BindToInterface' and `BindToAddress' options
to the setup of outgoing TCP connections.
Tested with Debian Etch on x86 and Debian Lenny on x86_64.

If running without `--net', the (global) variable `netname' is NULL. This
creates a segmentation fault because this NULL-pointer is passed to strdup:
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.

This patch fixes this by checking `netname' in `setup_device'. An alternative
would be to check for NULL-pointers in `xstrdup' and return NULL in this case.

Add some logging about refused ADD_SUBNET
(it causes subsequent client disconnect so it's
important to know which subnet was at fault).
Maybe we should just ignore it completely.
First of all, the idea behind the TunnelServer option is to hide all other
nodes from each other, so we shouldn't forward broadcast packets from them
anyway. The other reason is that since edges from other nodes are ignored, the
calculated minimum spanning tree might not be correct, which can result in
routing loops.
Since compression can either grow or shrink a packet, the size of an MTU probe
after decompression might not reflect the real path MTU. Now we use the size
before decompression, which is independent of the compression algorithm, and
substract a safety margin such that the calculated path MTU will be safe even
for packets which grow as much as possible after compression.
Instead of a single, global decryption context, each node has its own context.
However, in send_ans_key(), the global context was initialised. This commit
fixes that and removes the global context completely.
Also only set status.validkey after all checks have been evaluated.
In tunnelserver mode we're not interested to hear about
our client edges, just like in case of subnets. Just
ignore all requests which are not about our node or the
client node.
The fix is very similar to what was done for subnets.
Note that we don't need to add the "unknown" nodes to
the list in tunnelserver mode too, so move allocation
of new nodes down the line.
Similar changes as was in 2327d3f6eb
but for del_subnet_h().
Before, we vere returning false (and causing disconnect of the
client) in case of tunnelserver and the client sending DEL_SUBNET
for non-his subnet or for subnet which owner isn't in our connection
list.
After the mentioned change to add_subnet_h() that routine does not
add such indirect owners to the connection list anymore, so that
was ok (owner == NULL and we return true).
But if we too has a connection with the node about which the client
is sending DEL_SUBNET notification, say, because that client lost
connection with that other node, we'll disconnect this client from
us too, returning false for indirect DEL_SUBNET.
Fix that by allowing and ignoring indirect DEL_SUBNET in tunnelserver
mode.
Also rearranged the function a bit, to match add_subnet_h() (in
particular, syntax-check everything first, see if we've seen this
request before).
And also fix some comments.
Change formatting of error messages about failed syscalls
to be the same as in other places in tincd.
Also suggest a change in "$foo not supported on this platform"
message as it's now used more than once.
mlock()/mlockall() are not persistent across fork(), and it's
done in parent process before daemon() which does fork(). So
basically, current --mlock does nothing useful.
Move mlock() to after detach() so it works for child process
instead of parent.
Also, check if the platform supports mlock right when processing
options (since else we'll have to die after startup, not at
startup, the error message will be in log only).
If we didn't read any number from a pid file, we'll return
an unitialized variable to the caller, and it will treat
that garbage as a pid of a process (possible to kill).
Fix that.
Add two options, -R/--chroot and -U/--user=user, to chroot to the
config directory (where tinc.conf is located) and to perform
setuid to the user specified, after all the initialization is done.
What's left is handling of pid file since we can't remove it anymore.
In preparation of chroot/setuid operations, split out call to
try_outgoing_connections() from setup_network_connections()
(which was the last call in setup_network_connections()).
This is because dropping privileges should be done in-between
setup_network_connections() and try_outgoing_connections().
This patch renames setup_network_connections() to setup_network()
and moves call to try_outgoing_connections() into main routine.
No functional changes.
