The restriction of accepting only 1 connection per second from a single address
is a bit too much, especially if one wants to join a VPN using an invitation,
which requires two connections.
When --with-openssl is used, $openssl is set to the specified path.
Unfortunately, that confuses the OPENSSL conditional which expects it to
be set to "true". The result is that the contents of the openssl/
directory are not built when --with-openssl is used, resulting in
undefined references and a broken build.
In addition, there is a typo in the GCRYPT conditional definition
("grypt" instead of "gcrypt") which means GCRYPT never gets set,
(presumably) breaking builds using libgcrypt.
These regressions were introduced in
9b9230a0a7.
It now defers reading from stdin until after the authentication phase is
completed. Furthermore, it supports the -q, -r, -w options similar to those of
Jürgen Nickelsen's socket.
The tinc utility defered calling WSAStartup() until it tried to connect to a
running tinc daemon. However, socket functions are now also used for other
things (like joining another VPN using an invitation). Now we just
unconditionally call WSAStartup() early in main().
It seems like a lot of overhead to call access() for every possible extension
defined in PATHEXT, but apparently this is what Windows does itself too. At
least this avoids calling system() when the script one is looking for does not
exist at all.
Since the tinc utility also needs to call scripts, execute_script() is now
split off into its own source file.
Since filenames could potentially leak to unprivileged users (for example,
because of locatedb), it should not contain the cookie used for invitations.
Instead, tinc now uses the hash of the cookie and the invitation key as the
filename to store pending invitations in.
Commit cff5a84 removed the feature of binding outgoing TCP sockets to a local
address. We now call bind() again, but only if there is exactly one listening
socket with the same address family as the destination address of the outgoing
socket.
The order in which tinc initialized things was not completely correct. Now, it
is done as follows:
- Load and parse configuration files.
- Create all TCP and UDP listening sockets.
- Create PID file and UNIX socket.
- Run the tinc-up script.
- Drop privileges.
- Start outgoing connections.
- Run the main loop.
The PID file can only be created correctly if the listening sockets have been
set up ,as it includes the address and port of the first listening socket. The
tinc-up script has to be run after the PID file and UNIX socket have been
created so it can change their permissions if necessary. Outgoing connections
should only be started right before the main loop, because this is not really
part of the initialization.
The PID file was created before tinc-up was called, but the UNIX socket was
created afterwards, which meant one could not change the UNIX socket's owner or
permissions from the tinc-up script.
According to Debian, texi2html is deprecated and makeinfo --html should be used
instead. Automake already provides a html target that invokes makeinfo.
Automake finds the files in the subdirectories of src/ now that they are
properly declared in the _SOURCES variables. Using EXTRA_DIST would now cause
.o files to be included in the tarball.
When reloading the configuration file via the tinc command, the user will get
an error message if reloading has failed. However, no such warning exists when
sending a HUP signal. Previously, tincd would exit in both cases, but with a
zero exit code. Now it will exit with code 1 when reloading fails after a
SIGHUP, but tincd will keep running if it is signaled via the tinc command.
Instead, the tinc command will exit with a non-zero exit code.
The retry() function would only abort connections that were in progress of
being made, it wouldn't reschedule the outgoing connections that had been
sleeping.
As mentioned by Erik Tews, calling fchmod() after fopen() leaves a small window
for exploits. As long as tinc is single-threaded, we can use umask() instead to
reduce file permissions. This also works when creating the AF_UNIX control socket.
The umask of the user running tinc(d) is used for most files, except for the
private keys, invitation files, PID file and control socket.
In case no explicit netname of configuration directory is specified when
accepting an invitation, the netname specified in the invitation data is
used. However, this new netname is only known after making the connection
to the server. If the new netname conflicts with an existing one at the
client, we ask the user for a netname that doesn't conflict. However, we
should first finish accepting the invitation, so we don't run into the
problem that the server times out and cancels the invitation. So, we create
a random netname and store the files there, and only after we finish
accepting the invitation we ask the user for a better netname, and then
just rename the temporary directory to the final name.
If port 655 cannot be bound to when using the init command, tinc will try to
find a random port number that can be bound to, and will add the appropriate
Port variable to its host config file. A warning will be printed as well.
During the init command, tinc changed the umask to 077 when writing the public
and private key files, to prevent the temporary copies from being world
readable. However, subsequently created files would therefore also be
unreadable for others. Now we don't change the umask anymore, therefore
allowing the user to choose whether the files are world readable or not by
setting the umask as desired. The private key files are still made unreadable
for others of course. Temporary files now inherit the permissions of the
original, and the tinc-up script's permissions now also honour the umask.
