* alex/bug162-SSLCipherList:
Cipher list selection for GnuTLS
ConnSSL_Init_SSL(): correctly set CONN_SSL flag
Cipher list selection for OpenSSL
ConnSSL_InitLibrary(): Code cleanup
In some error cases conn_id will be left as SERVER_WAIT and
subsequently ignored in Check_Servers(). Ensure conn_id is set to
NONE before returning from New_Server() if we couldn't establish
the connection.
Prompted by a report from gabrielgi-at-gmail-dot-com.
Without this patch, ngIRCd ignores SSL-related messages and continues
to start up but only listens on plain text communication ports -- and
this most probably isn't what the administrator wanted ...
Closes bug #163.
This patch introduces the possibility to arbitrarily select ciphers which
should be promoted resp. declined when establishing a SSL connection
with a client by implementing the new configuration option "CipherList".
By default, OpenSSL would accept low and medium strength and RC-4 ciphers,
which nowadays are known to be broken.
This patch only implements the feature for OpenSSL. A GnuTLS counterpart
has to be implemented in another patch ...
Original patch by Bastian <bastian-ngircd@t6l.de>.
Closes bug #162.
As per RFC whois should return 431 if no nick is provided. While
here convert upper check to use irc-macros. As a bonus we get to set
the penalty for free.
The configuration option "AllowedChannelTypes" must only be enforced for
regular clients and not for remote servers. Channels created by other
servres are always allowed, because they already exist and the daemon
must stay in sync with the network.
Without this patch, ngIRCd logged the "IDENT lookup for connection X:
no result"-message even when IDENT lookups have been disabled using the
"Ident = no" configuration option, which is a little bit misleading.
Reported by "btwe" in #ngircd.
This patch introduces a new field in the CLIENT structure, "ipa_text",
which points to an optional textual representation of the client IP
address (or NULL) which can be used to store the "real" IP address
information of a client using the "WEBIRC" protocol.
Without this patch, ngIRCd ignored the <ip-address> paramater ...
In addition, the functions Client_SetIPAText() and Client_IPAText()
have been introduced to set and get the textual representation of the
client IP address.
Client_IPAText() can be used even when no "IP address text" has been
set before, it then returns the real IP address of the connection.
Closes bug #159.
The new configuration option "DefaultUserModes" lists user modes that
become automatically set on new local clients right after login.
Please note that only modes can be set that the client could set on
itself, you can't set "a" (away) or "o" (IRC Op), for example! User
modes "i" (invisible) or "x" (cloaked) etc. are "interesting", though.
Default: set no modes (like without this patch).
Closes bug #160.
There have been code paths that ignored the return code of Handle_Write()
when sending "notice auth" messages to new clients connecting to the
server. But because Handle_Write() would have closed the client connection
again if an error occurred, this would have resulted in new errors and
assert()'s later on that could have crashed the server (denial of service).
Only setups having the configuration option "NoticeAuth" enabled are
affected, which is not the default.
CVE-2013-5580.
This allows the system administrator to overwrite the DAEMON variable in
/etc/defaults/<name> and to use this init script even when the default
"/usr/sbin/ngircd" doesn't exist on the system.
