The C standard does not allow constructing pointers beyond one past the end
of an array. Therefore, if size is an unsigned type (size_t), then
buf + size is never less than buf.
Clang on 32-bit took advantage of the undefined behaviour, causing
segfaults.
Lightly tested.
Note that these are not available in old versions of OpenSSL (like FreeBSD
9.x base OpenSSL), so allow them to be missing.
A side effect may be slightly higher CPU consumption and network traffic.
Without a session id context and if client certificates are used, OpenSSL
fails the handshake if an attempt is made to reuse an old session. Various
clients could not reconnect after a disconnection because of this.
See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=858394#c34 for a bug
report.
rb_crypt() was generating different SHA256 ($5$) hashes than glibc,
making hashes generated with charybdis unusable in ratbox and other
software, and vice versa.
Note that you must have options ACCEPT_FILTER_DATA in your kernel
configuration or load the accf_data kernel module. The functionality is
not in the GENERIC kernel.
This allows for some further hardening against synflooding and connection flooding
where no data is actually sent, as the kernel will simply ignore those connections
(well, as far as the ircd is concerned anyway).
Add two mechanism for avoiding name-collisions in a system-wide
installation of charybdis. The ssld and bandb daemons, intended to be
directly used by ircd and not the user, install into libexec when
--enable-fhs-paths is set. For binaries which are meant to be in PATH
(bindir), such as ircd and viconf, there is now an option
--with-program-prefix=progprefix inspired by automake. If the user
specifies --with-program-prefix=charybdis, the ircd binary is named
charybdisircd when installed.
Add support for saving the pidfile to a rundir and storing the ban
database in localstatedir instead of in sysconfdir. This is, again,
conditional on --enable-fhs-paths.
Fix(?) genssl.sh to always write created SSL key/certificate/dh
parameters to the sysconfdir specified during ./configure. The
previous behavior was to assume that the user ran genssl.sh after
ensuring that his current working directory was either sysconfdir or a
sibling directory of sysconfdir.
ERR_error_string() is just broken, as it returns at most 119 chars
which means error messages are frequently truncated.
Allow for 511 chars using ERR_error_string_n().
