4.1.30 - Release 24 July 2008

2022104 solaris's driver.conf cannot set timeout values

2020447 IPFilter's NAT can undo name server random port selection

1988795 NetBSD doesn't build with kernel malloc stats

1988782 fr_movequeue can take a short cut

1988669 first nat creation failure prevents further success

1988668 hostmap searching does not work properly

* on some 64bit architectures (such as alpha), the addrfamily_t is packed
  differently, throwing off the calculations for adf_len

* one too many READ_ENTERs in ip_sync code.

* clean up fr_fastroute a little by removing some #ifdefs and pushing the
  code around a bit to use the same variables (NetBSD)

* more recent NetBSDs use VOP related macros differently

4.1.29 - Release 14 April 2008

* #ifdef warning fixes from Victor M Blood (FreeBSD) - #1821249

* An error in NAT'ing a packet that is being fed through the fastroute
  code (i.e return-icmp/return-rst/to/dup-to) can lead to a memory leak
  with mbufs

* NetBSD has removed rnh_walktree

* Remove exit/enter of ipf_global lock as they are now no longer held by
  what calls fr_auth_ioctl()

* add in checks to see that a symbol is defined before using it in a test
  case with C preprocessor #if statements

* add setting TCP TIME_WAIT timer to list of tuneables

* call of _pullup() high up in _icmp() means later checks for fin_dlen
  that are less than 8 are not required.

* cleanup some errors in merging patches

* merge changes from netbsd for updated poll apis

* merge white space cleanup

* preserve and restore the fin_flx bits from the packet before it is
  authorised to after it is.

* remove old comment that is no longer accurate

* sunos5x86 Makefile target has been removed from the Makefile

* try and optimise fr_movequeue and short cut some cases where there
  is no requirement to change the position of the object on the list.

* update ip_compat.h for NetBSD changes with POLLWAKEUP

* use defined() in #if statements to make sure something has a value
  before its use

1785476 more state entries might be created for single connection

1821247 holding ipf_global lock over call to fr_ioctlswitch() causes
        a panic for FreeBSD with INVARIANTS - move holding locks in ioctl
        processing to only where they are necessary.

1821358 errors can lead to mbufs not being freed

1825877 variables called min should be renamed to xmin

1835705 It is impossible to delete a state using SIOCDELST ioctl

1839009 Auth rules with both "quick" and "keep state" don't work

1839023 OS freeze: race condition in the auth code.

1839028 Potential problems in auth code

1855763 Fixed bug (#1838530) is reintoduced in the recent CVS commit

1872740 the ipfr_size tunable is ignored

1886836 open on devices not compiled in always succeed

1886965 sync code does not wakeup sleeping polls

1890025 sync code uses state table for nat objects

1915176 Use of "age X/Y" can lead to panic

4.1.28 - Release 16 October 2007

backout changes (B1) & (B2) as they've caused NAT entries to persist for
too long and possibly other side effects.

Still need to compile in our own radix.c for Solaris as the one in S10U4
has a different alignment of structure members (causes panic)

keep state doesn't work with multicast/broadcast packets (makes UPnP easier)

ippool -l may only lists every 2nd pool's contents

4.1.27 - Released 29 September 2007

SunOS5/replace script does not deal with i386 systems that have the
i86/amd64 directory pair.

make BSD/kupgrade try to build ip_rules.[ch] before complaining

Need to look for ipl.ko LKM on FreeBSD, not just ipf.ko

Cleanup SunOS5 Makefile pieces, removing CPU, sunos5x86; buildsunos needs
to drive 32bit cc builds differently for sparc/i386 now.

Update instructions for rebuilding FreeBSD kernels

Make the target "freebsd" work for building ipfilter

destroying NAT entries for blocked packets can lead to NAT table entry leak,
provide a counter of orphan'd NAT entries to track this problem.

4.1.26 - Released 24 September 2007

Fix build problem for Solaris prior to S10U4

4.1.25 - Released 20 September 2007

stepping through structures with ioctls can lead to the wrong things
being free'd and panics

if a NAT entry (such as an rdr) is created but the packet ends up being
blocked, tear down the NAT entry.

fix fragment cache preventing keep state from functioning

fix handling of \ to indicate a continued line in .conf files

include port ranges in the allowed input for ipf when using "port = ()"

only advance TCP state for packets on the leading edge of the window. (B1)

using ipnat -l can lead to memory corruption in high stress situations

track TCP sequence numbers with NAT so that it can do timeout advances
correctly inline with state

ICMP checksums for some redirect'd packets are not adjusted correctly.

IPv6 address components need to be explicitly cast to a 32bit pointer
boundary so that compilers don't try to access them as two 64bit
pieces (no guarantee is made that an Ipv6 address is on a 64bit
aligned address)

filling up the ipauth packet queue can lead to no more packets being
processed.

locking used to deref a nat entry causes a significant performance hit

m_pulldown isn't properly handled, leading to possible panics with ICMPv6
packets

IPv6 fragment handling doesn't allow for "keep frag" to work

build on Solaris10 Update4 with pfhooks in the kernel

logging of Ipv6 packets with extension headers fix - Miroslaw Luc

them being removed prematurely. (B2)

fix compilation problems for netbsd 4.99

protect enumeration of lists in the kernel from callout interrupts on
BSD without locking

fix various problems with IPv6 header checks: TCP/UDP checksum validation
was not being done, fragmentation header parsed dangerously and routing

4.1.20 - Released 30 April 2007

adjust TCP state numbers, making 11 closed (was 0) to better facilitate
detecting closing connections that we can wipe out when a SYN arrives
that matches the old

make it compile on Solaris10 Update3

structures used for ipf command ioctls weren't being freed in timeout
fashion on solairs

use NL_EXPIRE, not ISL_EXPIRE, for expiring NAT sessions

adjust TCP timeout values and introduce a time-wait specifc timeout
to get a better TCP FSM emulation and one that can hopefully do a better
job of cleaning up in a speedy fashion than previous

refactor the automatic flushing of TCP state entries when we fill up,
but use the same algorithm as before but now it hopefully works

only 2 out of 4 interface names were being changed by ipfs when
interface renaming was being used for state entries

add ipf_proxy_debug to ipf-T

matching of last fragments that had a number of bytes that wasn't a
multiple of 8 failed

some combinations of TCP flags are considered bad aren't picked up as such,
but these may be possible with T/TCP

return ipf ticks via SIOCGETGS for /dev/ipnat so "ipnat -l" can display ttl

abort logging a packet if the mbuf pointer is null when ipflog is called

Some NetBSD's have a selinfo.h instead of select.h

SIOCIPFFL was using copyoutptr and should have been using bcopy for /dev/ipauth

listing accounting rules using ioctl interface wasn't possible

Add in automatic flushing of NAT, like state, table if it fills up too much

Update comments in the code for NAT checksum adjustments

  when using SACK and filling in a hole

4.1.9 - Released 13 August 2005

make ipfilter fix IPv4 header checksums for outgoing packets if BRIDGE_IPF
is defined when compiled.

move the definition of SIOCPROXY from ip_nat.h to ip_proxy.h

make the BSD/upgrade script more instructive about the requiements for
ip_rules.[ch] when it is run

register for interface events on FreeBSD (>5.2.1) and NetBSD so that
"ipf -y" is not not requried to tell ipfilter about interface changes.

for "quick" rules that do "keep state", move the state adding into the rule
evaluation so that we can detect it failing as rules are evaluated and
continue on to the next rather than wait until we're done and it's too late
to recover for more rule processing.

mark ICMP packets advertising an MTU that's too small as being bad

rework ipv6 header parsing to get better code reuse and fix logic errors
in dealing with ipv6 packets containing fragment headers.  Also, where a
protocol handler was doing both v4 & v6, make a seperate function for each.

build for both amd64 and i86pc (32bit) on Solaris10 and later, if possible

include start of work to get IPFilter working on AIX 5.3

even if they're in the rule structure.

fix BSD/kupgrade to correctly change ipfilter lkm Makefile for FreeBSD

add 2 new features to SIOCGNATL:
- if IPN_FINDFORWARD is set, check if the respective MAP is already
  present in the outbound table
- if IPN_IN is set, search for a matching MAP entry instead of RDR
  (Peter Potsma)

turn off function inlining for freebsd 5.3+

UDP doesn't pullup enough data which can sometimes cause a panic.
Fix other protocols, as required, where a similar problem may exist.

overhaul the timeout queue management, especially that for user defined queues
which are now only freed in an orderly manner.

4.1.7 - Released 13 March 2005

Using the GRE call field is almost impossible because it is unbalanced and
both call fields are not present in each v1 header.

Fix a problem where it was possible to load duplicate rules into ipf

patch from John Wehle to address problems with fastroute on solaris

Copying data out for ipf -z failed because it tried to copy out to an address
that is a kernel pointer in user space.

add "ip" timeout for both NAT & state that's for non-TCP/UDP/ICMP

synch up with NetBSD's changes

fix problems parsing long lines of text in the ftp proxy where they would not
be parsed properly and stop the session from working

enhance the PPTP proxy so that it tries to decode messages in the TCP stream
so it knows when to create and destroy the state/nat sessions for GRE.  There
are also 4 new regression tests for it, testing map/rdr rules.

impose some limits on the size of data that can be moved with SIOCSTPUT in
the NAT code and also prevent a duplicate session entry from being created
using this method.

add a new flag (IPN_FINDFORWARD) to NAT code that can be used with SIOCGNATL
to check if it is possible to create an outgoing transparent NAT mapping to
compliment the redirect being investigated.

Linux requires that the checksums in the IP header get adjusted

only resolve unknown interfaces in fr_stinsert, and nuke all interface pointers
in SIOCSTPUT to prevent bad data being loaded from userspace.

make the byte counting for state correct (was counting data from ICMP packet
twice)

print out the keyword "frag-body" if the flag is set.

fix ipfs loading/restoring NAT sessions

patch from Frank to correctly format IP addresses in ipfstat -t output

parsing port numbers in ipf/ipnat was confusing as the port number was returned
in an int that was also overloaded to be the suceess/failure.  instead, change
the port using pass by reference and only use the return value for indicating
success or failure.

4.1.6 - Released 19 February 2005

add a new timeout number to NAT (fr_defnatipage) that is used for all
non-TCP/UDP/ICMP protocols - default 60 seconds.

buffer leak with bad nat - David Gueluy

FreeBSD's iplwrite hasn't kept pace with iplread's prototype

expand documention on the karma of using "auto" in ipnat map rules

UDP was missing a pullup for packet header information before examining
the header

4.1.5 - Released 9 January 2005

all rules were being converted into "dup-to" rules in the kernel

fix two ftp proxy problems: 1st, buffer needs to be bigger for fitting in

over correctly.

response to CWDs
revert ip_off back to network byte order in the ICMP error packet that
gets generated.

4.1.4 - Released 9 January 2005

force NAT rules to only match ipv4 NAT rules (which all are, currently,
by default)

include state synchronisation fixes from Frank Volf

via "ipf -T"

redesign start of fr_check() to avoid putting duplicate information in
ipfilter about how much data needs to be pulled up for a protocol to be

data not being freed and/or no error returned.

make the maximum size of the log buffer run-time tunable

too

attaching filtering to ipv6 pfil hook wasn't present for solaris

don't allow rules with "keep state" and "with oow"

to the same mbuf passed in as the first arg.

remove fr_unreach and use ENETUNREACH by default.

printing out of tag data in ipf rules doesn't match input syntax

unloading LKMs was only working if they were enabled.

sync'ing up NAT sessions when NICs change should cause NAT rules to
re-lookup name->pointer mappings

not all of the ippool ioctl's are IOWR and they should be because they
use the ipfobj_t for passing information in/out of the kernel.  leave the
old values defined and handle them, for compatibility.

pool stats wrong: ippoolstate used where ipoolstat should be, hash table
  statistics not reported at all

fr_running not set correctly for OpenBSD when compiled into the kernel

Allow SIOCGETFF while disabled

Fix mssclamp with NAT (pasing and printing of the word, plus wrong bytes

Attempt to use in_proto.c.diff, not "..diffs" for SunOS4 - David Wilson
(davidw@optimation.com.au)

Michael Ryan (mike@NetworX.ie) reports the following:
* The Trumpet WinSock under Windows always sends its SYN packet with an ACK
  value of 1, unlike any other implementation I've seen, which would set it
  to zero.  The "keep state" feature of IP Filter doesn't work when receiving
  non-zero ACK values on new connection requests.
* */Makefile install rule doesn't install all the binaries/man pages
* Make ipnat use "tcp/udp" instead of "tcpudp"
* Print out "tcp/udp" properly
* ipnat "portmap tcp" matches "portmap udp" when adding/removing
* NAT dest. ip# increased by one on mask of 0xffffffff when it shouldn't

patches for removing an extra ip header checksum (FreeBSD/NetBSD/SunOS)

removed trailing space from printouts of rules in ipf.

ipresend supports the same range of inputs that ipftest does.

sending a duplicate copy of a packet to another network devices is now
supported. ("dup-to")

sending a packet to an arbitary interface is now supported, irrespective
of its actual route, with no ttl decrement.  Can also be routed without
the ttl being decremented. ("to" and "fastroute").

matched.

show all (upto 4) recorded bytes from the interface name in logging from
ipmon.

support for using unix file permissions for read/write access on the device

add patches to make IP Filter compile into NetBSD kernels properly.

patch to stop SunOS 4.1.x kernels panicing with "data traps".

loaded into the kernel.

Installation of IP Filter as a Solaris2 package is now supported.

Man pages for ipnat.4, ipnat.5 added.

added some more regression tests and fixed up IP Filter to pass the new tests
(previous versions failed some of the tests in set 12).

IP option filter processing has changed so that saying "with opt lsrr" will
check only for that one, but not mask out other options, so a packet with
strict source routing, along with loose source routing will match all of
"with opt lsrr", "with opt ssrr" and "with opt lsrr,ssrr".

IPL_NAME needed in ipnat.c - Kelly (kelly@count04.mry.scruznet.com)

patches for clean NetBSD compilation from Bernd Ernesti (bernd@arresum.inka.de)

Julian Briggs (julian@lightwork.co.uk)

Byte order patches for ipmon from Tony Becker (tony@mcrsys.com)

3.0beta2 7/1/96

Added the (somewhat warped) IP accounting as it exists in ipfw on FreeBSD.
Note, this isn't really what one would call IP account, when compared to
process accounting, sigh.

Split up ipresend into iptest/ipresend/ipsend

Added another m_pullup() inside fr_check() for BSD style kernels and
added some checks to ipllog() to not log more than is present (for short
packets).

Fixed bug where failed hostname/netname resolution goes undetecte and
becomes 0.0.0.0 (any) (reported Guido van Rooij)

3.0beta	11/11/95	- Released

Rewrote the way rule testing is done, reducing the number of files needed and
generated.

SIOCIPFFL was incorrectly affected by IPFILTER_LOG (Mathew Green)

Patches from Guido van Rooij to fix sending back TCP RSTs on Net-2/Net-3
BSD based Unixes (panic'd)

Patches for FreeBSD/i86 ipmon from Riku Kalinen <riku@tequila.nixu.fi>
(I think someone else already told me about these but they got lost :-/)

Changed Makefile structure to build object files for different operating
systems in separate directories by default.

BSDI has ef0 for first ethernet interface

Allow for a "not" operator before optional keywords.

The "rule number" was being incorrectly incremented every time it went through
the loop rather than when it matched a rule.

2.8.2	24/10/95	- Released

Fixed up problems with "textip" for doing lots of testing.

Fixed bug in detection of "short" tcp/ip packets (all reported as being short).

ipsend doesn't compile properly on Solaris2.4

Lots of work done for Solaris2.4 to make it MT/MP safe and work.

2.8	15/9/95		- Released

ipmon can now send messages to syslogd (-s) and use names instead of
numbers (-N).

IP packets are now "compiled" into a structure only containing filterable
bits.

Added regression testing in the test/ subdirectory, using a new option
(-b) with the ipftest program.

Added "nomatch" return to filter results.  These are counted and show
up in reports from ipfstat.

Moved filter code out of ip_fil.c and into fil.c - there is now only one
instance of it in the package.

Added Solaris 2.4 support.

Added IPSO basic security option filtering.

Added name support for filtering on all 19 named IP options.

Patches from Ivan Brawley to log packet contents as well as packet headers.

Update for sun/conf.c.diff from Ivan Brawley <ibrawley@awadi.com.AU>

Added patches for FreeBSD 1, and added two new switches (-E, -D) to ipf,
along with a new ioctl, SIOCFRENB.
From: Dieter Dworkin Muller <dworkin@village.org>

2.7.3	31/7.95		- Released

Didn't compile cleanly without IPFILTER_LOG defined (Mathew Green).

ipftest now deals with tcpdump3 binary output files (from libpcap) with -P.

Brought ipftest program upto date with actual filter code.

Filter would cause a match to occur when it wasn't meant to if the packet
had short headers and was missing portions that should have been there.
Err, it would rightly not match on them, but their absence caused a match
when it shouldn't have been.

2.7.2	26/7/95		- Released

Problem with filtering just SYN flagged packets reported by
Dieter Dworkin Muller <dworkin@village.org>.  To solve this
problem, added support for masking TCP flags for comparison "flags X/Y".

2.7.1	9/7/95		- Released

Added ip_dirbroadcast support for Sun ip_input.c

Fixed up the install scripts for FreeBSD/NetBSD to recognise where they are
better.

2.7	7/7/95		- Released

Added "return-rst" to return TCP RST's to TCP packets.

Actually ported it to FreeBSD-i386 2.0.0, so it works there properly now.

Added insertion of filter rules.  Use "@<#>" at the beginning of a filter
to insert a rule at row #.

Filter keeps track of how many times each rule is matched.

Changed compile time things to match kernel option (IPFILTER_LKM &
IPFILTER_LOG).

Updated ip_input.c and ip_output.c with paches for 3.5 Multicast IP.
(No change required for 3.6)

Now includes TCP fragments which start inside the TCP header as being short.
Added counting the number of times each rule is matched.


2.6	11/5/95		- Released

Added -n option to ipf: when supplied, no changes are made to the kernel.

Added installation scripts for SunOS 4.1.x and NetBSD/FreeBSD/BSDI.

Rewrote filtering to use a more generic mask & match procedure for
checking if a packet matches a rule.

2.5.2	27/4/95		- Released

"tcp/udp" and a non-initialised pointer caused the "proto" to become
a `random' value; added "ip#/dotted.mask" notation to the BNF.
From Adam W. Feigin  <feigin@iis.ee.ethz.ch>

2.5.1	22/3/95		- Released

"tcp/udp" had a strange effect (undesired) on getserv*() functions,
causing protocol/service lookups to fail.  Reported by Matthew Green.

2.5	17/3/95		- Released

Added a new keyword "all" to BNF and parsing of tcpdump/etherfind/snoop
output through the ipftest program.  Suggestions from:
Michael Ciavarella (mikec@phyto.apana.org.au)

Conflicts occur when "general" filter rules are used for ports and the
lack of a "proto" when used with "port" matches other packets when only
TCP/UDP are implied.
Reported Matthew Green (mrg@fulcom.com.au);
reported & fixed 6-8/3/95

Added filtering of short TCP packets using "with short" 28/2/95
(These can possibly slip by checks for the various flags).  Short UDP
or ICMP are dropped to the floor and logged.

Added filtering of fragmented packets using "with frag" 24/2/95

Port to NetBSD-current completed 20/2/95, using LKM.

Added logging of the rule # which caused the logging to happen and the
interface on which the packet is currently as suggested by
Andreas Greulich (greulich@math-stat.unibe.ch) 10/2/95

2.4	9/2/95		- Released
Fixed saving of IP headers in ICMP packets.

2.3	29/1/95
Added ipf -F [in|out|all] to flush filter rule sets (SIOCIPFFL).
Fixed iplread() and iplsave() with help from Marc Huber.

2.2	7/1/95		- Released
Added code from Marc Huber <huber@fzi.de> to allow it to allocate
its own major char number dynamically when modload'ing.  Fixed up
use of <, >, <=, >= and >< for ports.

2.1	21/12/94	- Released
repackaged to include the correct ip_output.c and ip_input.c *goof*

2.0	18/12/94	- Released
added code to check for port ranges - complete.
rewrote to work as a loadable kernel module - complete.

1.1
added code for ouput filtering as well as input filtering and added support for logging to a simple character device of packet headers.

1.0	22/04/93	- Released
First release cut.
