v1.20 Feb 4 2005
- added wscale option parsing; surprisingly, it seems to be in some use
- added nids_dispatch(), for systems which do not ignore pcap timeout
- ability to specify hosts/networks for which we do not check checksums
v1.19 Aug 08 2004
- fixed signed/unsigned comparisons; 1.18 could be possibly crashed in tcp
options parsing (though an unlikely to happen memory layout is required);
now the source is compiled with -W -Wall
- export pcap header of the last received packet (to get timestamp etc)
- export the timeout parameter to pcap_open_live in params
- support DLT_PRISM_HEADER
- support DLT_PPP_SERIAL
- let through dataless acks
- fixed raw_init() prototype
- switched to use %edi instead of %ebx in csum_partial to make gcc-3.5 happy
when compiling with -fPIC; cleaned inline asm
- fixed a bug when a queued FIN segment was not processed properly, which
resulted in not closing a stream
fragment reassembly code. CVE reference for that vulnerability is
CAN-2003-0850.
Note homepage relocation, and take over maintainership since that's
apparently what I've become.
v1.18 Oct 15 2003
- reject tcp packets with old timestamp; needed to pass fragroute test;
well, linux 2.0.36 did not support this ;)
- fixed memory corruption which could be caused by overlarge TCP packets
- adjusted checksum.c to not use multiline literals (for gcc 3.3)
- in configure.in, even if found libnet files, try compilation; there is
another library with the same name
- fix a bug in "collect" field handling; if you did collect-- and then
collect++ (which is rare), you would get a single junk packet
- correct handling of exec_prefix in configure.in
- unlink config.status in "make distclean"
- use pcap_hdr->caplen instead pcap_hdr->len; the only gain seems to be to
gracefully handle pcap files with too short snaplen
- changed soname to libnids.so.1.x, as binary compatibility is not
guaranteed
- switched to sourceforge as homepage
v1.17 Dec 12 2002
- fixed a stupid bug in TCP reassembly; having received a particular order
of TCP out of frame segments, libnids could lost track of the current
seq, and miss the following data stream
- DLT_FDDI
- benign typo in hash.c
- mentioned usefulness of two process buffering on a fast network
v1.17rc1 Aug 30 2002
- support for libnet-1.1 and --with-libnet=no
- added support for libpcap save files
- finally, DLT_LINUX_SLL is recognized
- removed a horrible assumption on sizeof(pointer); it could result in
segfault in scan.c
- --enable-shared
- __i386 -> __i386__ || __i386 :(
- support for 802.1Q VLAN
- support for wireless frames (DLT_IEEE802_11)
- got rid of (obsolete) pcap_open_live_new
- bail out if link type is unknown, instead of pretending it is ethernet
- $(MAKE) -> $(MAKE) $(AM_MAKEFLAGS)
- added a working link to Ptacek-Newsham paper
- %hi -> %hu :)
- align IP header if necessary (should not be)
- improved libraries detection
- mentioned usefulness od setsockopt(...SO_RCVBUF...) on a fast network
v1.16 Nov 3 2000
- nah, at least a release forced by a security bug. A typo in libnids.c
could cause libnids to segfault when source routed frame has been received.
v1.15 Oct 9 2000
- token ring support
- new configurable option (non-default): if a tcp callback hasn't processed
all available data, it is called immediately again
- fixed alignment in hash.c, which caused sigsegv on Sparc
- another _obviously_ redundant include file added to configure test progs
- html version of the API documentation
