New_Server() can call Conn_Close() in its error paths,
but that function decrements the number of current active
connections. Thus we need to increment it earlier.
When a server is running with SSL/TLS support compiled in,
it is trivial to crash the server by sending an MOTD request
via another server in the network.
- ONLY servers without ssl/tls support compiled in are not affected.
Disabling SSL in the configuration (no ssl listening ports, etc)
does NOT help.
- servers that are running standalone (i.e., not connected to any
other servers) are not affected, either.
This affects all ngircd releases since ngircd 13 (earlier versions
have no SSL/TLS support).
In addition to the "ngircd" and "ngircd-full" packages a new package named
"ngircd-full-dbg" is build: this package contains all the features of the
"full" package but includes debug code and both the --debug and --sniffer
options and the resulting binaries are _not_ stripped.
When ngircd announces the list of currently known servers
to a new (connecting) server, it sent the introducer of
the servers instead of the top server.
Assuming this network:
irc1.example.com
|--irc2.example.com
| `--irc3.example.com
| `--irc4.example.com
`--irc5.example.com
When irc4 connects to irc3, irc3 tells irc4 that irc5 was
connected to irc2. (irc2 had introduced irc5 to irc3; but thats
not what ngircd should have sent to the new server).
This also placed users on the wrong servers.
that code does not really make sense -- the info
text is freely cofngiureable and des not follow a specific
format.
Also, that "+2" might have caused invalid memory accesses.
With this patch ngIRCd displays IPv6 addresses as "[<addr>]:<port>" when
accepting new connections and later, if no successful DNS lookup could
be made (or DNS is disabled altogether).
Change VERSION to include the __DATE__ when compiling from within Xcode.
When building using "make xcode" or "make osxpkg" VERSION already is defined
to the "real" version number set in configure.in.
- PidFile, ServerUID and ServerGID are read from actual server configuration
- Exit code and behaviour is more LSB compliant
- New "status" and "test" sub-functions
Don't echo multiple syntax error messages (461) on invalid commands,
but break after the first one.
In addition, this solves corrupted 'Unknown mode "+' messages.
When using OpenSSL, the following annoying "error" message was logged whenever
an encrypted connection was shut down in a orderly fashion:
TLS/SSL Connection shutdown: ConnSSL_Read: Unable to determine error
of course, this isn't an error at all.
commit 6bc2d3d06e
(New connection option CONN_RFC1459) forgot to adjust the ssl bitmasks.
The result is that when a compressed AND encrypted server link goes down
the memory allocated by zlib and the r/w buffers are no longer
free'd as the previous ConnSSL_Free() would then also remove the CONN_ZIP flag
from the flag mask.
Store the file name of channel key files and reopen them on each access
(on each JOIN command) insted of just storing the file handles.
This eliminates the special requirements (no delete) and makes sure
that always the actual file contents are used in all circumstances.
This patch introduces the new configuration variable "KeyFile" for
[Channel] sections in ngircd.conf. Here a file can be configured for each
pre-defined channel which contains individual channel keys for different
users. This file is line-based and must have the following syntax:
<user>:<nick>:<key>
<user> and <nick> can contain the wildcard character "*".
Please not that these channel keys are only in effect, when the channel
has a regular key set using channel mode "k"!
commit 2546a13ad2
('Cumulative Message Patch') broke PRIVMSG to channels
containing dots.
Fix this by switching evaluation order:
Check first if the target matches a existing channel and only do a check
for target masks if that failed.
PRIVMSG with host/server masks is described in RFC 2812, section 3.3.1.
Makes one wonder how a server is _really_ supposed to tell the difference
between hostmasks and channel names.
Sigh.
