The assert(client != NULL) got triggered during our tests, so there is
an error path that resulted in the connection being still established
(sock >= 0) but the client structure already freed.
So Conn_Write() should handle it!
This reduces the possibility of flooding channels with commands like
"PRIVMSG/NOTICE #a,#n,#c,... :message" a little bit.
Problem noticed by Cahata -- thanks!
Until now, the penalty time has only been set when longer as the
already set one, so it didn't accumulate.
And add documentation for and clean up code in Conn_SetPenalty() and
Conn_ResetPenalty() functions.
This partly closes bug #118. ngIRCd still starts up even when
Server{UID|GID} is invalid: then the daemon falls back to "nobody"
when running with root(0) privileges (as before).
commit 15fec92ed7
(Update list item, if it already exists) can make ngircd
crash because 'Reason' can be NULL, as reported by
Cahata on the ngircd mailing list.
Doesn't affect any released ngircd versions.
Also, make sure that we do not pass NULL as arguments
to a '%s' printf-like function.
When JOIN is received with more than one channel name, don't stop
processing on the first error (e.g. bad name, wrong channel key, ...)
but report an error and continue with the other given channel names.
Reported by Cahata -- thanks!
When "PAMIsOptional" is set, clients not sending a password are still
allowed to connect: they won't become "identified" and keep the "~"
character prepended to their supplied user name.
This fixes two bugs:
- "WHO <nick>" returned nothing at all if the user was "+i"
(reported by Cahata, thanks).
- "WHO <nick|nickmask>" returned channel names instead of "*"
when the user was member of a (visible) channel.
Clean up code and add documentation as well.
Rename Channel_Count() to Channel_CountVisible() and only count channels
that are visible to the requesting client, so the existence of secret
channels is no longer revealed by using LUSERS.
Reported by Cahata -- thanks!
Unknown user and channel modes no longer stop the mode parser, but are
simply ignored. Therefore modes after the unknown one are now handled.
This is how ircd2.10/ircd2.11/ircd-seven behave, at least.
Reported by Cahata -- thanks!
This fixes:
irc-oper.c: In function ‘IRC_xLINE’:
irc-oper.c:429: warning: ‘class’ may be used uninitialized in this function
irc-oper.c:430: warning: ‘class_c’ may be used uninitialized in this function
This fixes the problem that ngIRCd can't do any IDENT lookups because
of the socket has already been closed in the child process.
The bug has been introduced starting with ngIRCd 17 ... :-(
(commit ID 6ebb31ab35)
- User mode "R": indicates that the nick name of this user is "registered".
This mode isn't handled by ngIRCd itself, but must be set and unset by
IRC services like Anope.
- Channel mode "R": only registered users (having the user mode "R" set)
are allowed to join this channel.
DEBUG_BUFFER is off by default and therefore disables these messages:
- "Handle_Write() called for connection XX, YY bytes pending ..."
- "Connection XX: ZZ bytes left in read buffer."
* ServerMode:
Handle channel user modes 'a', 'h', and 'q' from remote servers
Handle unknown channel modes on server links
Handle unknown user modes on server links
IRC_MODE(), Client_Mode(): code cleanup [2/2]
Enlarge client user mode buffer, reduce client flags buffer
Infom clients when other servers change their user modes
IRC_MODE(), Client_Mode(): code cleanup [1/2]
These channel user modes aren't used for anything at the moment, but
ngIRCd knows that these three modes are "channel user modes" and not
"channel modes", that is that these modes take an "nick name" argument.
Like unknown user and channel modes, these modes are saved and forwarded,
but ignored otherwise.
We have to enlage our user mode buffer, so we can handle even unknown
user modes in the future; and reduce the client flags buffer, because
I can't imagine why we ever would need ~100 flags!?
Now we support up to 15 user modes (was: 8) and up to 15 flags (was: 99).
So in the end, we even save 99-15+8-15=77 bytes for each client structure!
On server-links, spoofed prefixes can happen because of the asynchronous
nature of the IRC protocol. So don't break server-links, only log a message
and ignore the command.
This fixes bug 113, see:
<https://arthur.barton.de/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=113>
Citing an email from Florian to the ngIRCd mailing list:
"I wonder what the expected behaviour is when Conf_MorePrivacy is changed
from 'yes' to 'no' and the config is reloaded.
At the moment, WHOWAS will start giving out information on Users that
were connected during Conf_MorePrivacy=yes period. If this is not
wanted, Client_RegisterWhowas() should be changed to not store a record
when Conf_MorePrivacy is enabled."
And I think it is "not wanted" :-)
For outgoing connections, we use 2048 (DH_BITS) since commit 49b2d0e.
This patch enables ngIRCd to accept incoming connections from other servers
and clients that use at least 1024 bits (and no longer requires 2048 for
incoming connections, too).
Patch proposed by Florian Westphal.
this patch contains:
* Fix for Conf_CloakUserToNick to make it conceal user details
* Adds MorePrivacy-feature
MorePrivacy censors some user information from being reported by the
server. Signon time and idle time is censored. Part and quit messages
are made to look the same. WHOWAS requests are silently dropped. All
of this is useful if one wish to conceal users that access the ngircd
servers from TOR or I2P.
This patch makes it possible to scrub incomming CTCP commands from
other servers and clients alike. The ngircd oper can enable it from
the config file, by adding "ScrubCTCP = yes" under [OPTIONS]. It is
default off.
CTCP can be used to profile IRC users (get user clients name and
version, and also their IP addresses). This is not something we like
to happen when user pseudonymity/secrecy is important.
The server silently drops incomming CTCP requests from both other
servers and from users. The server that scrubs CTCP will not forward
the CTCP requests to other servers in the network either, which can
spell trouble if not every oper knows about the CTCP-scrubbing.
Scrubbing CTCP commands also means that it is not possible to send
files between users.
There is one exception to the CTCP scrubbing performed: ACTION ("/me
commands") requests are not scrubbed. ACTION is not dangerous to users
(unless they use OTR, which does not encrypt CTCP requests) and most
users would be confused if they were just dropped.
A CTCP request looks like this:
ctcp_char, COMMAND, arg0, arg1, arg2, .. argN, ctcp_char
ctcp_char is 0x01. (just like bold is 0x02 and color is 0x03.)
They are sent as part of a message and can be delivered to channels
and users alike.
The intention of this restructuring is to make the [Global] section much
cleaner, so that it only contains variables that most installations must
adjust to the local requirements.
All the optional variables are moved to [Limits], for configurable limits
and timers of ngIRCd, and [Options], for optional features.
The old variables in the [Global] section are deprecated now, but still
recognized.
The io_event_create error handling seems to miss a 'return'
statement.
Fix this by moving io_event_create() call around so we do not
need the Conn_Close/Init calls in the error case.
problem is that some clients refuse to connect to severs that only offer
1024. For interoperability it would be best to just use 4096, but that
takes minutes, even on current hardware.
parse.c:284: warning: suggest parentheses around operand of '!' or
change '&' to '&&' or '!' to '~'
The expression looks dubious, this should probably be
an if-not-set, then... test.
When the write buffer space grows too large, ngircd has to disconnect
the client to avoid wasting too much memory.
ngircd logs this with a scary 'write buffer overflow' message.
Change this to a more descriptive wording.
Not all servers (and services!) using the RFC1459 protocol style send
prefixes on all commands; so don't require them to do so.
This relaxes the requirements introduced by commit 15775e679.
We re-use the same helper function for both forward lookups
(when we want to connect to a peer server) and for validation of reverse
loopups (where we make a lookup on the hostname returned
by a reverse lookup on the IP address that connected).
Problem:
When ConnectIPv6=no, the forward lookup helper sets the adderss family
to AF_INET, and, if out client connected via ipv6, we fail to validate
the result.
Thus move the ConnectIPvX check out of the helper.
we do not need this for cryptographic purposes, but we can do better
than plain srandom(getpid()).
Also, keep in mind that rng state is inherited across fork(), so re-init
it in the child.
When enabled, this configuration option lets ngIRCd send a PING with an
numeric "token" to clients logging in; and it will not become registered
in the network until the client responds with the correct PONG.
This is used by QuakeNet for example (ircu/snircd), and looks like this:
NICK nick
:irc.example.net PING :1858979527
USER user . . :real name
PONG 1858979527
:irc.example.net 001 nick :Welcome to the Internet Relay Network ...
Make sure that all commands received from other servers do have
valid prefixes.
Only exceptions are PING and ERROR commands that can occure without
prefixes when generated by the remote peer itself.
* CloakUserHost:
Add a note not to use a percent sign ("%") in CloakHost variable
Rename ClientHost to CloakHost, and ClientUserNick to CloakUserToNick
Don't use "the.net" in sample-ngircd.conf, use "example.net"
ngircd.conf.5: document "ClientHost" and "ClientUserNick"
Move "ClientHost" and "ClientUserNick" to end of [Global] section
ClientUserNick setting
ClientHost setting
* QuitOnHTTP:
Only "handle" HTTP commands on unregistered connections
Don't use IRC_QUIT_HTTP() if STRICT_RFC is #define'd
IRC_QUIT_HTTP(): enhance error message
Move IRC_QUIT_HTTP() below IRC_QUIT()
quit on HTTP commands: GET & POST
* bug72-WHOIS-List:
Add "whois-test" to testsuite and distribution archive
Add support for up to 3 targets in WHOIS queries.
also allow up to one wildcard query from local hosts.
Follows ircd 2.10 implementation rather than RFC 2812.
At most 10 entries are returned per wildcard expansion.
WHOIS test cases by Dana Dahlstrom.
previously, any client could join in this configuration:
[Channel]
Name = #test
Modes = tnk
KeyFile = /tmp/foobar
fix this by checking for zero-length key before comparing
key to channel key.
This fixes the followin GCC warning on modern Linux systems as well:
irc-login.c: In function ‘Hello_User’:
irc-login.c:876: warning: ignoring return value of ‘write’,
declared with attribute warn_unused_result
This patch
- makes the server write buffer bigger: 64k,
- makes the regular write buffer bigger: 32k,
- tries to flush the write buffer starting at 4K.
Before this patch, a client got disconnected if the buffer flushing at 4k
failed, now regular clients can store up to 32k and servers up 64k even
if flushing is not possible at the moment (e.g. on slow links).
Don't do a NULL-pointer dereference when a remote server using the
IRC+ protocol sends an invalid PASS command without the required
<serverversion> parameter ...
Port number 0 marks remote servers that try to connect to this
daemon, but where this daemon never tries to establis a connection
on its own: only incoming connections are allowed.
Don't use isdigit() function any more, because it only checks the
first character of the variable value and because it doesn't know
about the minus sign which is required e.g. for "Group = -1".
The MOTD file is read in Read_Config(), so don't read it when handling
the "MotdFile" configuration variable. Instead make sure that it is
initialized properly when (re-)reading the configuration.
This enables other servers, services and IRC operators to change
channel topics, even when the client is not joined to this channel.
Now the handler for TOPIC behaves like the one for MODE.
This generic function tests if a client is allowed to do administrative
tasks to a specific channel:
- servers and services are always truested ("allowed everything"),
- channel operators are allowed,
- IRC operarors are allowed if OperCanUseMode is set in the config.
libc should know better than us.
Also, this helps debugging with tools like valgrind:
When you allocate an array of size x, and then erronoulsy
use x+1 valgrind cannot detect the bug because due to ALIGN_()
made by array.c we might have allocated more than size x...
ngircd unfortunately uses several options using double-negation, e.g.
NoIdent = No, NoPam = No, etc.
This renames all options by dropping the "No" prefix, e.g.
"NoIdent = no" becomes "Ident = yes".
The old options will continue to work, but will cause a warning
message.
Also update man pages and default config.
To prevent silly
'Ident = yes' from appearing in --configtest output in the
'ident support not compiled in and Ident Option not used' case,
make default value depend on feature availability.
If feature is available, enable by default, otherwise disable.
We might consider moving these options to a new
[Feature]
section, or something like that, because none of these options are
essential.
Another possible improvement:
'Ident = yes' option in ngircd.conf causes a warning if ngircd was
built without ident support.
This does not happen with e.g. zeroconf....
Configuration variables "MotdFile" and "MotdPhrase" are mutually
exclusive; so don't display content in both of them when running
"ngircd --configtest": instead remember which one is beeing used.
The information written to the "error file" (/tmp/ngircd-<PID>.err) when
ngIRCd is compiled with debug code enabled isn't that usefule, so don't
create this file at all.
If a hostname resolves to more than one IP address (round-robin DNS,
IPv4 and IPv6) and an attempt to connect to the first address fails,
ngIRCd should try to connect to the 2nd address, 3rd address etc.
But because of a wrong variable used in the call to New_Server(),
the wrong server structure has been used in further connection attemps
which possibly lead to connection attempts to already connected servers.
disable pam_fail_delay() only is available starting with Mac
OS X 10.6; but we use the 10.5 SDK for campatibility, so don't use
this function at all when building using Xcode.
This allows to compile ngIRCd using a pre-ANSI K&R C compiler again:
all source files are automatically converted by the included ansi2knr
program (of GNU automake/autoconf) before compiling them with the
K&R C compiler, but a few coding standards must be met.
Tested on Apple A/UX 3.x.
Regression testing on Linux and Mac OS X.
If ngIRCd is compiled to register its services using ZeroConf (e.g. using
Howl, Avahi or on Mac OS X) this parameter can be used to disable service
registration at runtime.
The new option "SyslogFacility" deines the syslog "facility" to which
ngIRCd should send log messages.
Possible values are system dependant, but most probably "auth", "daemon",
"user" and "local1" through "local7" are possible values; see syslog(3).
Default is "local5" for historical reasons.
This fixes the following gcc warning, emitted by Xcode:
src/ngircd/sighandlers.c: In function 'Signal_Callback':
src/ngircd/sighandlers.c:239: warning: implicit conversion shortens 64-bit value into a 32-bit value
Signals_Init() must only be called once.
This does not affect any ngircd release version.
Earlier version of this patch moved the io and sighandler
initialization before the while() loop, but as Alexander
Barton noticed that broke all systems without builtin select
support in io.c...
- declare signals_catch[] array not between the function implementations.
- rename now local function NGIRCd_Rehash() to Rehash().
- remove empty and therefore not used "catch SIGHUP; break;".
This patch allows ngIRCd to dump its internal state (connected clients,
actual configuration) when compiled with --enable-debug. The daemon
catches two more signals:
- SIGUSR1: toggle debug mode (on/off),
- SIGUSR2: dump internal state to console/syslog.
now that the main signal handling is done from the dispatcher
loop we can call NGIRCD_Rehash() directly.
the /REHASH handler can queue the Rehash() function for
execution by sending a SIGHUP. It will be run when we
return back to the dispatch loop.
Allows to defer/queue signal processing for execution on the next
event dispatch call, i.e. we can perform any signal action in
normal, non-signal context.
Example uses:
- Reload everything on HUP without writing a global "SIGHUP_received"
variable
- Dump status of internal Lists on SIGUSR1, etc.
Fix synchronization of established connections and configured server
structures after a configuration update:
- Not only test servers that already have a connection, but also check
and update configured servers to which a new connection is beeing
established (SERVER_WAIT state).
- And do the server name comparision case-insensitive.
Let CheckServers() not only skip servers that already have a
connection, but also skip servers to which a new connection is
already beeing established (SERVER_WAIT state).
This fixes PING-PONG lag calculation (which resulted in "0" before).
The "lastping" time is still reset it if a time shift backwards has
been detected to prevent the daemon from miscalculating ping timeouts.
