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.
Commit f77700aa, which fixes a compiler warning, also breaks the
behaviour of prepending ".<layer>" to basenames in --pxe-service: in
situations where the basename contains a ".", the ".<layer>" suffix is
erroneously added, and in situations where the basename doesn't contain
a ".", the ".<layer>" suffix is erroneously omitted.
A patch against the git HEAD is attached that inverts this logic and
restores the expected behaviour of --pxe-service.
This reverts commit 88a77a78ad.
A least one client has been found which breaks with this change. Since
the use-case is not clear, I'm reverting the change, at least for now.
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.
The check that there's enough space to store the DHCP agent-id
at the end of the packet could succeed when it should fail
if the END option is in either of the oprion-overload areas.
That could overwrite legit options in the request and cause
bad behaviour. It's highly unlikely that any sane DHCP client
would trigger this bug, and it's never been seen, but this
fixes the problem.
Also fix off-by-one in bounds checking of option processing.
Worst case scenario on that is a read one byte beyond the
end off a buffer with a crafted packet, and maybe therefore
a SIGV crash if the memory after the buffer is not mapped.
Thanks to Timothy Becker for spotting these.
