corrections:
|
||
when UNIX-LISTEN was applied to an existing file it failed as expected
|
||
but removed the file. Thanks to Bjoern Bosselmann for reporting this
|
||
problem
|
||
|
||
fixed a bug where socat might crash when connecting to a unix domain
|
||
socket using address GOPEN. Thanks to Martin Forssen for bug report and
|
||
patch.
|
||
|
||
UDP-LISTEN would alway set SO_REUSEADDR even without fork option and
|
||
when user set it to 0. Thanks to Michal Svoboda for reporting this bug.
|
||
|
||
UNIX-CONNECT did not support half-close. Thanks to Greg Hughes who
|
||
pointed me to that bug
|
||
|
||
TCP-CONNECT with option nonblock reported successful connect even when
|
||
it was still pending
|
||
|
||
address option ioctl-intp failed with "unimplemented type 26". Thanks
|
||
to Jeremy W. Sherman for reporting and fixing that bug
|
||
|
||
socat option -x did not print packet direction, timestamp etc; thanks
|
||
to Anthony Sharobaiko for sending a patch
|
||
|
||
address PTY does not take any parameters but did not report an error
|
||
when some were given
|
||
|
||
Marcus Meissner provided a patch that fixes invalid output and possible
|
||
process crash when socat prints info about an unnamed unix domain
|
||
socket
|
||
|
||
Michal Soltys reported the following problem and provided an initial
|
||
patch: when socat was interrupted, e.g. by SIGSTOP, and resumed during
|
||
data transfer only parts of the data might have been written.
|
||
|
||
Option o-nonblock in combination with large transfer block sizes
|
||
may result in partial writes and/or EAGAIN errors that were not handled
|
||
properly but resulted in data loss or process termination.
|
||
|
||
Fixed a bug that could freeze socat when during assembly of a log
|
||
message a signal was handled that also printed a log message. socat
|
||
development had been aware that localtime() is not thread safe but had
|
||
only expected broken messages, not corrupted stack (glibc 2.11.1,
|
||
Ubuntu 10.4)
|
||
|
||
an internal store for child pids was susceptible to pid reuse which
|
||
could lead to sporadic data loss when both fork option and exec address
|
||
were used. Thanks to Tetsuya Sodo for reporting this problem and
|
||
sending a patch
|
||
|
||
OpenSSL server failed with "no shared cipher" when using cipher aNULL.
|
||
Fixed by providing temporary DH parameters. Thanks to Philip Rowlands
|
||
for drawing my attention to this issue.
|
||
|
||
UDP-LISTEN slept 1s after accepting a connection. This is not required.
|
||
Thanks to Peter Valdemar Morch for reporting this issue
|
||
|
||
porting:
|
||
Cedril Priscal ported socat to Android (using Googles cross compiler).
|
||
The port includes the socat_buildscript_for_android.sh script
|
||
|
||
added check for component ipi_spec_dst in struct in_pktinfo so
|
||
compilation does not fail on Cygwin (thanks to Peter Wagemans for
|
||
reporting this problem)
|
||
|
||
build failed on RHEL6 due to presence of fips.h; configure now checks
|
||
for fipsld too. Thanks to Andreas Gruenbacher for reporting this
|
||
problem
|
||
|
||
check for netinet6/in6.h only when IPv6 is available and enabled
|
||
|

don't fail to compile when the following defines are missing:
|
||
IPV6_PKTINFO IPV6_RTHDR IPV6_DSTOPTS IPV6_HOPOPTS IPV6_HOPLIMIT
|
||
Thanks to Jerry Jacobs for reporting this problem (Mac OS X Lion 10.7)

|
||
processes. Thanks to Sam Liddicott for providing the patch.
|
||
|
||
Till Maas added support for tun/tap addresses without IP address
|
||
|
||

####################### V 1.7.1.3:
|
||
|
||
security:
|
||
fixed a stack overflow vulnerability that occurred when command
|
||
line arguments (whole addresses, host names, file names) were longer
|
||
than 512 bytes.
|
||
Note that this could only be exploited when an attacker was able to
|
||
inject data into socat's command line.
|
||
Full credits to Felix Gröbert, Google Security Team, for finding and
|
||
reporting this issue
|
||
|
||
####################### V 1.7.1.2:
|
||
|
||
corrections:
|
||
user-late and group-late, when applied to a pty, affected the system
|
||
device /dev/ptmx instead of the pty (thanks to Matthew Cloke for
|
||
pointing me to this bug)
|
||
|
||
socats openssl addresses failed with "nonblocking operation did not
|
||
complete" when the peer performed a renegotiation. Thanks to Benjamin
|
||
Delpy for reporting this bug.
|
||
|
||
info message during socks connect showed bad port number on little
|
||
endian systems due to wrong byte order (thanks to Peter M. Galbavy for
|
||
bug report and patch)
|
||
|
||
Debian bug 531078: socat execs children with SIGCHLD ignored; corrected
|
||
to default. Thanks to Martin Dorey for reporting this bug.
|
||
|
||
porting:
|
||
building socat on systems that predefined the CFLAGS environment to
|
||
contain -Wall failed (esp.RedHat). Thanks to Paul Wouters for reporting
|
||
this problem and to Simon Matter for providing the patch
|
||
|
||
support for Solaris 8 and Sun Studio support (thanks to Sebastian
|
||
Kayser for providing the patches)
|
||
|
||
on some 64bit systems a compiler warning "cast from pointer to integer
|
||
of different size" was issued on some option definitions
|
||
|

minor corrections in docu
|
||
|
||
####################### V 1.7.1.1:
|
||
|
||
corrections:
|
||
corrected the "fixed possible SIGSEGV" fix because SIGSEGV still might
|
||
occur under those conditions. Thanks to Toni Mattila for first
|
||
reporting this problem.
|
||
|
||
ftruncate64 cut its argument to 32 bits on systems with 32 bit long type
|
||
|
||
socat crashed on systems without setenv() (esp. SunOS up to Solaris 9);
|
||
thanks to Todd Stansell for reporting this bug
|
||
|
||
with unidirectional EXEC and SYSTEM a close() operation was performed
|
||
on a random number which could result in hanging e.a.
|
||
|
||
fixed a compile problem caused by size_t/socklen_t mismatch on 64bit
|
||
systems
|
||
|
||
docu mentioned option so-bindtodev but correct name is so-bindtodevice.
|
||
Thanks to Jim Zimmerman for reporting.
|
||
|
||
docu changes:
|
||
added environment variables example to doc/socat-multicast.html
|
||
|
||
####################### V 1.7.1.0:
|
||
|
||
new features:
|
||
address options shut-none, shut-down, and shut-close allow to control
|
||
socat's half close behaviour
|
||
|
||
with address option shut-null socat sends an empty packet to the peer
|
||
to indicate EOF
|
||
|
||
option null-eof changes the behaviour of sockets that receive an empty
|
||
packet to see EOF instead of ignoring it
|
||
|
||
introduced option names substuser-early and su-e, currently equivalent
|
||
to option substuser (thanks to Mike Perry for providing the patch)
|
||
|
||
corrections:
|
||
fixed some typos and improved some comments
|
||
|
||
####################### V 1.7.0.1:
|
||
|
||
corrections:
|
||
fixed possible SIGSEGV in listening addresses when a new connection was
|
||
reset by peer before the socket addresses could be retrieved. Thanks to
|
||
Mike Perry for sending a patch.
|
||
|
||
fixed a bug, introduced with version 1.7.0.0, that let client
|
||
connections with option connect-timeout fail when the connections
|
||
succeeded. Thanks to Bruno De Fraine for reporting this bug.
|
||
|
||
option end-close "did not apply" to addresses PTY, SOCKET-CONNECT,
|
||
and most UNIX-* and ABSTRACT-*
|
||
|
||
half close of EXEC and SYSTEM addresses did not work for pipes and
|
||
sometimes socketpair
|
||
|
||
help displayed for some option a wrong type
|
||
|
||
under some circumstances shutdown was called multiple times for the
|
||
same fd
|
||
|
||
####################### V 1.7.0.0:
|
||
|
||
new features:
|
||
new address types SCTP-CONNECT and SCTP-LISTEN implement SCTP stream
|
||
mode for IPv4 and IPv6; new address options sctp-maxseg and
|
||
sctp-nodelay (suggested by David A. Madore; thanks to Jonathan Brannan
|
||
for providing an initial patch)
|
||
|
||
new address "INTERFACE" for transparent network interface handling
|
||
(suggested by Stuart Nicholson)
|
||
|
||
added generic socket addresses: SOCKET-CONNECT, SOCKET-LISTEN,
|
||
SOCKET-SENDTO, SOCKET-RECVFROM, SOCKET-RECV, SOCKET-DATAGRAM allow
|
||
protocol independent socket handling; all parameters are explicitely
|
||
specified as numbers or hex data
|
||
|
||
added address options ioctl-void, ioctl-int, ioctl-intp, ioctl-string,
|
||
ioctl-bin for generic ioctl() calls.
|
||
|
||
added address options setsockopt-int, setsockopt-bin, and
|
||
setsockopt-string for generic setsockopt() calls
|
||
|
||
option so-type now only affects the socket() and socketpair() calls,
|
||
not the name resolution. so-type and so-prototype can now be applied to
|
||
all socket based addresses.
|
||
|
||
new address option "escape" allows to break a socat instance even when
|
||
raw terminal mode prevents ^C etc. (feature suggested by Guido Trotter)
|
||
|
||
socat sets environment variables SOCAT_VERSION, SOCAT_PID, SOCAT_PPID
|
||
for use in executed scripts
|
||
|
||
socat sets environment variables SOCAT_SOCKADDR, SOCAT_SOCKPORT,
|
||
SOCAT_PEERADDR, SOCAT_PEERPORT in LISTEN type addresses (feature
|
||
suggested by Ed Sawicki)
|
||
|
||
socat receives all ancillary messages with each received packet on
|
||
datagram related addresses. The messages are logged in raw form with
|
||
debug level, and broken down with info level. note: each type of
|
||
ancillary message must be enabled by appropriate address options.
|
||
|
||
socat provides the contents of ancillary messages received on RECVFROM
|
||
addresses in appropriate environment variables:
|
||
SOCAT_TIMESTAMP, SOCAT_IP_DSTADDR, SOCAT_IP_IF, SOCAT_IP_LOCADDR,
|
||
SOCAT_IP_OPTIONS, SOCAT_IP_TOS, SOCAT_IP_TTL, SOCAT_IPV6_DSTADDR,
|
||
SOCAT_IPV6_HOPLIMIT, SOCAT_IPV6_TCLASS
|
||
|
||
the following address options were added to enable ancillary messages:
|
||
so-timestamp, ip-pktinfo (not BSD), ip-recvdstaddr (BSD), ip-recverr,
|
||
ip-recvif (BSD), ip-recvopts, ip-recvtos, ip-recvttl, ipv6-recvdstopts,
|
||
ipv6-recverr, ipv6-recvhoplimit, ipv6-recvhopopts, ipv6-recvpathmtu,
|
||
ipv6-recvpktinfo, ipv6-recvrthdr, ipv6-recvtclass
|
||
|
||
new address options ipv6-tclass and ipv6-unicast-hops set the related
|
||
socket options.
|
||
|
||
STREAMS (UNIX System V STREAMS) can be configured with the new address
|
||
options i-pop-all and i-push (thanks to Michal Rysavy for providing a
|
||
patch)
|
||
|
||
corrections:
|
||
some raw IP and UNIX datagram modes failed on BSD systems
|
||
|
||
when UDP-LISTEN continued to listen after packet dropped by, e.g.,
|
||
range option, the old listen socket would not be closed but a new one
|
||
created. open sockets could accumulate.
|
||
|
||
there was a bug in ip*-recv with bind option: it did not bind, and
|
||
with the first received packet an error occurred:
|
||
socket_init(): unknown address family 0
|
||
test: RAWIP4RECVBIND
|
||
|
||
RECVFROM addresses with FORK option hung after processing the first
|
||
packet. test: UDP4RECVFROM_FORK
|
||
|
||
corrected a few mistakes that caused compiler warnings on 64bit hosts
|
||
(thanks to Jonathan Brannan e.a. for providing a patch)
|
||
|
||
EXEC and SYSTEM with stderr injected socat messages into the data
|
||
stream. test: EXECSTDERRLOG
|
||
|
||
when the EXEC address got a string with consecutive spaces it created
|
||
additional empty arguments (thanks to Olivier Hervieu for reporting
|
||
this bug). test: EXECSPACES
|
||
|
||
in ignoreeof polling mode socat also blocked data transfer in the other
|
||
direction during the 1s wait intervalls (thanks to Jorgen Cederlof for
|
||
reporting this bug)
|
||
|
||
corrected alphabetical order of options (proxy-auth)
|
||
|
||
some minor corrections
|
||
|
||
improved test.sh script: more stable timing, corrections for BSD
|
||
|
||
replaced the select() calls by poll() to cleanly fix the problems with
|
||
many file descriptors already open
|
||
|
||
socat option -lf did not log to file but to stderr
|
||
|
||
socat did not compile on Solaris when configured without termios
|
||
feature (thanks to Pavan Gadi for reporting this bug)
|
||
|
||
porting:
|
||
socat compiles and runs on AIX with gcc (thanks to Andi Mather for his

|
||
An accompanying change in the numbering scheme results in an
|
||
incompatibility with earlier socat RPMs!
|
||
|
||
|
||
solved problems and bugs:
|
||
PROBLEM: socat daemon terminated when the address of a connecting
|
||
client did not match range option value instead of continue listening
|
||
SOLVED: in this case, print warning instead of error to keep daemon
|
||
active
|
||
|
||
PROBLEM: tcp-listen with fork sometimes left excessive number of zombie
|
||
processes
|
||
SOLVED: dont assume that each exiting child process generates SIGCHLD

|
||
SOLUTION: GOPEN for socket now applies group NAMED, phase PASTOPEN
|
||
options
|
||
|
||
PROBLEM: with unidirectional mode, an unnecessary close timeout was
|
||
applied
|
||
SOLUTION: in unidirectional mode, terminate without wait time
|

|
||
PROBLEM: using GOPEN on a unix domain socket failed for datagram
|

open() flag options had names starting with "o_", now corrected to "o-"
|
||
|
||
in docu, *-listen addresses were called *_listen
|
||
|

address unix now called unix-connect because it does not handle unix
|
||
datagram sockets
|

|
||
in test.sh, apply global command line options with all tests

|
||
PROBLEM: raw IP socket SIGSEGV'ed when it had been shut down.
|
||
SOLVED: set eof flag of channel on shutdown.
|
||
|
||
PROBLEM: if channel 2 uses a single non-socket FD in bidirectional mode
|
||
and has data available while channel 1 reaches EOF, the data is
|
||
lost.
|
||
SOLVED: during one loop run, first handle all data transfers and
|
||
_afterwards_ handle EOF.
|
||
|
||
PROBLEM: despite to option NONBLOCK, the connect() call blocked
|
||
SOLVED: option NONBLOCK is now applied in phase FD instead of LATE
|
||
|
||
PROBLEM: UNLINK options issued error when file did not exist,
|
||
terminating socat
|
||
SOLVED: failure of unlink() is only warning if errno==ENOENT

|
||
PROBLEM: TCP6-LISTEN required numeric port specification
|
||
SOLVED: now uses common TCP service resolver
|
||
|
||
PROBLEM: with PIPE, wrong FDs were shown for data transfer loop

|
||
never terminated

####################### V 1.0.4.2:
|
||
|
||
solved problems and bugs:

SOLVED: EOF of one stream now causes shutdown of write part of other
|
||
stream
|
||
|
||
PROBLEM: sending mail via socks address to qmail showed that crlf
|
||
option does not work
|
||
SOLVED: socks address applies PH_LATE options
|
||
|
||
PROBLEM: in debug mode, no info about socat and platform was issued
|
||
SOLVED: print socat version and uname output in debug mode

PROBLEM: invoking socat with -t and no following parameters caused
|
||
SIGSEGV
|
||
SOLVED: -t and -b now check next argv entry
|
||
|
||
PROBLEM: when opening of logfile (-lf) failed, no error was reported
|
||
and no further messages were printed
|
||
SOLVED: check result of fopen and print error message if it failed
|
||
|
||
new features:
|
||
address type UDP-LISTEN now supports option fork: it internally applies
|
||
socket option SO_REUSEADDR so a new UDP socket can bind to port after
|
||
`accepting<6E> a connection (child processes might live forever though)
|
||
(suggestion from Damjan Lango)
|
||
