I got reported bug in Fedora [1], that cname is broken in new releases.
At first I though this was false report, but there is still new
regression in cname handling.
Before, it accepted alias with trailing dot. Not it would accept only
target, but not alias.
cname=alias.,target
is no longer valid. The issue is it will count size to skip after
canonicalize. If that ignores trailing dot, next name would be "". And
that is invalid and refused, dnsmasq refuses to start.
I also think that any whitespace like tab should be possible after
comma. So this fixes also 30858e3b9b.
Fix heap overflow in DNS code. This is a potentially serious
security hole. It allows an attacker who can make DNS
requests to dnsmasq, and who controls the contents of
a domain, which is thereby queried, to overflow
(by 2 bytes) a heap buffer and either crash, or
even take control of, dnsmasq.
Adds option to delay replying to DHCP packets by one or more seconds.
This provides a workaround for a PXE boot firmware implementation
that has a bug causing it to fail if it receives a (proxy) DHCP
reply instantly.
On Linux it looks up the exact receive time of the UDP packet with
the SIOCGSTAMP ioctl to prevent multiple delays if multiple packets
come in around the same time.
It is currently only possible to let the TFTP server serve a different
folder depending on the client's IP address.
However it isn't always possible to predict what the client's
IP address will be, especially in situations in which we are not
responsible for handing them out (e.g. proxy dhcp setups).
Extend the current --tftp-unique-root parameter to support having a
separate folder per MAC address instead.
The current --server syntax allows for binding to interface or
address. However, in some (admittedly special) cases it is useful to
be able to specify both. This commit introduces the following syntax
to support binding to both interface and address:
--server X.X.X.X@IP@interface#port
Based on my tests, the syntax is backwards compatible with the current
@IP/interface#port. The code will fail if two interface names are given.
v1->v2:
* Add man page description of the extended server syntax (thanks Simon Kelley)

The rev-server directive only handles the following CIDR prefixes
properly: /8, /16, /24, /32.
Any other value was silently converted to /16 which could result in
unexpected behaviour.
This patch rejects any other value instead of making a silent
conversion.
[ excerpt from the man page ]
The rev-server directive provides a syntactic sugar to make specifying
address-to-name queries easier. For example
--rev-server=1.2.3.0/24,192.168.0.1 is exactly equivalent to
--server=/3.2.1.in-addr.arpa/192.168.0.1
It is not mentioned in the man page but the only prefixes that the
directive properly handles when dealing with IPv4 are /8, /16 and /24.
Specifying anything else as the same effect as specifying /16.
It is not a big deal for subnets on non-octet boundaries since they
cannot be represented using a single in-addr.arpa address. However, it
is unconvenient for /32 prefix while the analogous server directive
behaves as expected. E.g. the following server directive work
as expected:
server=/42.10.168.192.in-addr.arpa/1.2.3.4
but the following does not:
rev-server=192.168.10.42/32,1.2.3.4
and, in practice, the later behaves the same as:
server=/168.192.in-addr.arpa/1.2.3.4
This strange behaviour is fixed by accepting /32 CIDR prefixes as a
valid value. Any other value will still be considered the same as /16.
Some consider it good practice to obscure software version numbers to
clients. Compiling with -DNO_ID removes the *.bind info structure.
This includes: version, author, copyright, cachesize, cache insertions,
evictions, misses & hits, auth & servers.
Manual page: clarify that the --address and --ipset options take one or
more domains rather than just two. Clarify that --ipset puts addresses
in all ipsets, it is not a 1:1 mapping from addresses.
Also increase the width for options output in --help, some options were
truncated leading to confusing output. Almost all options and
descriptions are now within the 120 colums limit.
