secnet (0.4.4) unstable; urgency=medium

  Security fix:
  * make-secnet-sites: Don't allow setting new VPN-level properties
    when restricted.  This could allow denial of service by
    users with delegated authorisation.  [Mark Wooding]

  Bugfixes for poor network environments:
  * polypath: cope properly with asymmetric routing, by correcting
    the handling of late duplicated packets etc.   Protocol is now
    incompatible with secnet prior to 0.3.0 when either end is mobile.
  * Randomise key setup retry time.

  Other bugfixes:
  * rsa and cbcmac: Fix configuration error messages.  [Mark Wooding]
  * Handle IPv4 addresses properly (ie, not foolishly byte-swapped),
    when IPv6 is not available.  [Mark Wooding]
  * Better logging (and less foolish debug), especially about whether
    key is set up, and about crossed key setup attempts.
  * Internal refactoring and fixes.  [Ian Jackson and Mark Wooding]

  Build system and portability:
  * configure: rerun autogen.sh with autoconf 2.69-10
  * Avoid memset(0,0,0) wrt st->sharedsecret.  (Fixes compiler warning;
    in theory might cause miscompilation.)  [Mark Wooding]

  Documentation:
  * README.make-secnet-sites: new documentation file.  [Mark Wooding]
  * NOTES: Describe current allocation of capability bits.  [Mark Wooding]
  * NOTES: tiny fix tot protocol description.
  * secnet(8): Delete wrong information about dh groups.  [Mark Wooding]

  Administrivia:
  * Fix erroneous GPL3+ licence notices "version d or later" (!)
  * .dir-locals.el: Settings for Python code.  [Mark Wooding]

secnet (0.4.3) unstable; urgency=low

  Security improvement:
  * Use `mpz_powm_sec' for modexps.

  Enhancements:
  * Implement comm-info and dedicated-interface-addr feature, for
    benefit of hippotat.
  * Implement `keepalive' site option, to try to keep link always up.

  Build etc. fixes:
  * #include <limits.h> (fixes the build on jessie).
  * Tolerate building from a git checkout, but with git not installed.
    (This can happen in chroots.)
  * Turn off -Wsign-compare for bison output.
  * Makefile.in: Fix `check-ipaddrset' rule to get reference from
    $(srcdir).  (Makes out-of-tree builds work properly.)
  * Release checklist fixes.
  * Burn version numbers 0.4.1 and 0.4.2 due to errors in release prep.

  Bugfixes:
  * When printing messages about dropping IPv6, do not print anything
    about ihl.  (Check the IP version field first!)
  * When turning on debug, turn on verbose too.

secnet (0.4.0) unstable; urgency=low

  Debugging improvements:
  * Packet-level debugging from site notes errors from transmit.
  * Report when transport peers updated as a result of transmit.

 -- Ian Jackson <ijackson@chiark.greenend.org.uk>  Sat, 28 Feb 2015 15:03:00 +0000

secnet (0.4.0~beta2) unstable; urgency=low

  Polypath bugfixes:
  * Ignore IPv6 Unique Local unicast addresses.
  * Skip "tentative" IPv6 local addresses.
  * Improve logging and debug output.

  Portability fix:
  * Build where size_t is not compatible with int.

  Build system and packaging fixes:
  * Makefile: support DESTDIR.
  * debian/rules: set DESTDIR (not prefix).
  * debian/rules: Support dpkg-buildflags.
  * Install ipaddrset.py and secnet.8 with correct permissions.
  * Fix check for <linux/if_tun.h> and git rid of our copy.
  * Use -lresolv only if inet_aton is not found otherwise.
  * Use -lnsl only if inet_ntoa is not found otherwise.
  * debian/rules: Provide build-arch and build-indep targets.
  * debian/rules: Do not run build for *-indep (!)
  * Makefile.in: Putative dual (backport and not) release build process doc.

  Copyright updates:
  * Update to GPLv3.  Add missing copyright notices and credits.
  * Get rid of old FSF street address; use URL instead.
  * Remove obsolete LICENCE.txt (which was for snprintf reimplementation).
  * Remove obsolete references to Cendio (for old ipaddr.py).

secnet (0.4.0~beta1) unstable; urgency=low

  New features:
  * Support transport over IPv6.  (We do not yet carry IPv6 in the private
    network.)  IPv6 support depends on IPv6-capable adns (adns 1.5.x).
  * New polypath comm, which can duplicate packets so as to send them via
    multiple routes over the public network, for increased
    reliability/performance (but increased cost).  Currently Linux-only
    but should be fairly easy to port.
  * Support multiple public addresses for peers.
  * Discard previously-received packets (by default).

  Logging improvements:
  * Report (each first) transmission and reception success and failure.
  * Log reason for DNS reolution failure.
  * Log unexpected kinds of death from userv.
  * Log authbind exit status as errno value (if appropriate).

  Configuration adjustments:
  * Adjust default number of mobile peer addresses to store when a peer
    public address is also configured.
  * Make specifying peer public port optional.  This avoids making special
    arrangements to bind to a port for in mobile sites with no public
    stable address.

  Bugfixes:
  * Hackypar children will die if they get a terminating signal.
  * Fix signal dispositions inherited by secnet's child processes.
  * Fix off-by-one error which prevented setting transport-peers-max to 5.

  Test, build and internal improvements:
  * Use conventional IP address handling library ipaddr.py.
  * Provide a fuzzer for the slip decoder.
  * Build system improvements.
  * Many source code cleanups.

secnet (0.3.4) unstable; urgency=low

  SECURITY FIX:
  * The previous security fix to buffer handling was entirely wrong.  This
    one is better.  Thanks to Simon Tatham for the report and the patch.

 -- Ian Jackson <ijackson@chiark.greenend.org.uk>  Mon, 22 Sep 2014 16:16:11 +0100

secnet (0.3.3) unstable; urgency=high

  SECURITY FIXES:
  * Pass correct size argument to recvfrom.  This is a serious security
    problem which may be exploitable from outside the VPN.
  * Fix a memory leak in some error logging.

  Other related fixes:
  * Two other latent bugs in buffer length handling found and fixed.
  * Non-critical stylistic improvements to buffer length handling, to make
    the code clearer and to assist audit.

 -- Ian Jackson <ijackson@chiark.greenend.org.uk>  Fri, 19 Sep 2014 23:50:45 +0100

secnet (0.3.3~beta1) unstable; urgency=low

  Installation compatibility fix:
  * In make-secnet-sites, always use our own ipaddr.py even if the
    incompatible modern ipaddr.py is installed (eg via python-ipaddr.deb).
    (Future versions of secnet are going to need that Python module to be
    installed.)

  For links involving mobile sites:
  * Use source of NAK packets as hint for peer transport address.
  * When initiating rekey, make use of data transport peer addresses.

  Build fix:
  * Provide clean target in test-example/Makefile.

 -- Ian Jackson <ijackson@chiark.greenend.org.uk>  Fri, 19 Sep 2014 00:11:44 +0100

secnet (0.3.2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Release of 0.3.2.  No code changes since 0.3.1~beta1.

 -- Ian Jackson <ijackson@chiark.greenend.org.uk>  Thu, 26 Jun 2014 20:27:58 +0100

secnet (0.3.2~beta1) unstable; urgency=low

  For links involving mobile sites:
  * SECURITY: Properly update peer address array when it is full.
  * Do name-resolution on peer-initiated key setup too, when we are mobile
    (and other name-resolution improvements).

  Other minor improvements:
  * Log peer addresses on key exchange timeout.
  * When printing version (eg during startup), use value from git-describe
    and thus include git commit id where applicable.
  * Updates to release checklist in Makefile.in.
  * Use C99 _Bool for bool_t.

  * Generate ICMP packets correctly in point-to-point configurations.

 -- Ian Jackson <ijackson@chiark.greenend.org.uk>  Sat, 03 May 2014 18:58:09 +0100

secnet (0.3.1~beta1) unstable; urgency=low

  * SECURITY: Fixes to MTU and fragmentation handling.
  * SECURITY: Correctly set "unused" ICMP header field.
