----------------------------------------
Leafnode 1.9.41 has been released. It fixes the "leafnode keeps
downloading groups $timeout_long days after unsubscription" bug.
It also adds an experimental feature to change the delaybody behaviour
(defaults to off) to work around madness of certain news readers.

mailing list or you can watch file releases at sourceforge below, if you
want to be notified when new leafnode releases become available.

* 1.9.41, 2003-05-22
### BUGFIXES
o Fix the "leafnode keeps fetching a group I've unsubscribed from long ag=
o"
bug that haunted leafnode since 1.9.18 at the latest and that was more
prominent with the delaybody migration fixes of 1.9.33.
o "make clean" no longer erases t.pcre_extract
### CHANGES
o Add an EXPERIMENTAL feature, delaybody_in_situ. This may work around
problems with particular newsreaders in delaybody mode. Do not rely on =
this
feature for now, and do send feedback if you use it, regardless of whet=
her
it works or not. Defaults to off (compatible with previous versions). I=
f you
don't know what it is about, leave it off.
o Some messages in fetchnews have been reworded to make them clearer and =
more
helpful.
### PORTABIILTY
o Find tcpd on OpenBSD at build time. Patch by Bruno Rohee.

leafnode 1.9.39.rel has been released.
----------------------------------------
Leafnode 1.9.39 has been released. It fixes a DATA LOSS bug (that is on
the server side) that falsely tells a downstream client that sends a
STAT command with message-ID (leafnode, for example) it had the article
when in fact it hasn't. This causes data loss on leafnode clients
talking to leafnode servers before 1.9.39.

* 1.9.39, 2003-05-04
### CRITICAL BUGFIX (DATA LOSS IN LEAFNODE-TO-LEAFNODE CONVERSATION)
o Leafnode returned bogus "OK" replies to "STAT <me...@ge...>" requests
when the currently selected group was a pseudogroup.
This caused data loss when two leafnode versions are cascaded, because
the downstream thinks the upstream already has the article and
discards it. Reported to Debian by Kyler Laird, forwarded by Mark
Brown.

leafnode 1.9.38.rel has been released.
----------------------------------------
Leafnode 1.9.38 has been released and replaces the withdrawn 1.9.37
version of leafnode. Leafnode 1.9.37 tried to fix the replacement
snprintf that is used on systems with inadequate native snprintf() that
had been broken for a long time, but the fixes in 1.9.37 were not
complete; leafnode 1.9.37 was reported broken among other systems from
FreeBSD 4.8. Please apologize the inconvenience.
Leafnode 1.9.38 also improves NewsCache compatibility and has tighter
checks to make sure that the prerequisites are there when building the
RPM binary package.
Note that you can subscribe to a moderated (non-spam) leafnode-announce
mailing list or you can watch file releases at sourceforge below, if you

### BUGFIX
o The replacement snprintf trampled hash marks over digits in the output =
when
the output length matched the minimum field width or exceeded it, in
violation of Single Unix Specification. Fixed now. (Corresponding
conformance testing code has been added to "make check".)
### CHANGES
o The RPM spec file checks if pcre.h is in /usr/include/pcre or /usr/incl=
ude.
This hopefully addresses RedHat 9 RPM build failures. (The leafnode RPM
should rely on the pcre RPM rather than including its own copy of PCRE
files, to avoid conflicts.) This is untested because the snprintf bugfi=
x
above is critical and does not allow for further delay for testing.
o The NewsCache compatibility code was changed to allow the DATE command
for NewsCache 0.99.22* and 0.99.2? as well as 1.1.12 and newer.

* 1.9.37, 2003-04-19
### BUGFIX
o Fetchnews properly tracks when reading the active file from a server fa=
ils
and retries and the next run.
o The replacement snprintf has received numerous bugfixes.
o Leafnode now checks if the system's snprintf function really works at b=
uild
time and substitutes its own snprintf.c if the system's snprintf functi=
on is
broken (or missing).
o Don't use format modifiers that are unsupported by the shipped snprintf=
.c.
o Build fixes on platforms that need special LDFLAGS (sparc64 for
example), particularly when no system PCRE library is available.
### PORTABILITY
o Better portability to systems that don not provide DIR and struct in th=
e
<dirent.h> header file.
### WORKAROUND
o Fetchnews no longer checks the DATE at upstream "NewsCache" servers oth=
er
than version 0.99.22p1, they return local time rather than GMT.
### INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES
o Leafnode programs now REQUIRE that they can read the spooldir (and not =
only
execute it). As the spooldir has always been readable, the impact of th=
is
change is negligible.
o The default lockfile location has changed to $spooldir/leaf.node/lock.f=
ile.
This is meant to prevent packaging errors, as the lock file must be in =
a
directory writable by the "news" user. --with-lockfile can be used to
configure the former lock file location which used to be
/var/lock/news/fetchnews.lck.
o Leafnode programs now enforce a umask of 02, just to be sure. Should ha=
ve no
visible impact.
### CHANGES
o There is now a "post_anygroup" option to skip the "is the group I post =
into
on this server" check. Useful on servers that let you post but not read=
.
o Fetchnews now prints an error message when saving the current working
directory fails when it tries to post articles.
o Fetchnews now prints the reply from the upstream server when reading th=
e
newsgroup list (all or new) fails.
o The internal directory creation code has been revised.
o Debugging code (assertions) has been removed from the build.

portability fixes and minor contributed features deemed safe even for a
stable release. The posting behaviour was adjusted to be compatible with
that of leafnode 1.9.22 and older, to address the "my postings never get
posted and just lie around in the newsq" issue, the fix for the
"incomplete articles might be posted" bug is still intact.

* 1.9.33, 2003-02-03
### BUGFIXES
o Fix client hang when an article had suffered corruption and its Message=
-ID
could not be retrieved. Also consider the article broken and unlink it.
o Compatibility: leafnode 1.9.23 to 1.9.32 have used the u+x flag in out.=
going
to mark an article "complete". This was incompatible with versions 1.9.=
22
and before. It has been changed to u+r, which improves compatibility, p=
osts
are no longer stuck in out.going, and even older versions won't read
incomplete posts.
o Switching delaybody off no longer makes bodies of article headers retri=
eved
before the switch inaccessible. (affects leafnode, fetchnews)
o Pseudo article display was fixed for newsgroups that were once there bu=
t
that have expired without their article pointers reset in the groupinfo=
file.
o Fix local article number extraction again, along the lines suggested by
Fumiaki Miura. This bug marked the wrong article for download if a head=
er
of the structure "Xref: my.ser.ver abcabc:20 abc:10" was in the article=
.
o Ralf Wildenhues fixed two subtle bugs in signal handling again, making =
sure
we don't warp backwards in the program flow when ^C is pressed twice.
o The nodesc flag was not in effect for fetchnews -f or after adding a ne=
w
server, making fetchnews redownload the FULL active file over and over =
again.
o Downloaded articles don't show up in out.going in multi-server setups a=
ny
more, they did when articles to post were in out.going because fetchnew=
s
messed up its directories.
### CHANGES: documentation
o Options added since 1.9.20 now appear with the leafnode version when th=
e
option was introduced in the manual pages.
### CHANGES: fetchnews
o Leafnode will now use the "ARTICLE" command to download articles if no
filterfile is defined or if the new "article_despite_filter" option is =
set
and "delaybody" is off. This speeds up article download, particularly o=
n
high-latency links such as interleaved DSL or satellite links.
o There is a new global option, "article_despite_filter", defaults to 0 f=
or
compatibility.
o There is a new per-server option, "noread", which defaults to 0 and is
therefore compatible with previous releases of leafnode.
If set, the server is not queried for active files or articles (but
skipped), but posting to this server is still tried. Useful to complem=
ent
"nopost". Courtesy of Dmitry Samersoff <dsa...@as...>.
o Fetchnews compares the local clock to that of the upstream server it's
talking to if the upstream supports the "DATE" command, and warns if bo=
th
clocks are more than 10 minutes apart (but the program will continue fo=
r
compatibility.)
### CHANGES: leafnode
o The DATE command is now supported.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- leafnode-SA-2002:01.versions Topic: vulnerabilities in leafnode Announcement: leafnode-SA-2002:01 Writer: Matthias Andree Version: 1.00 Announced: 2002-12-29 Category: main Type: denial of service Impact: CPU busy loop Credits: Jan Knutar (jknutar, nic dot fi), for finding the bug Mark Brown (broonie, debian dot org), for pointing out DoS capability Danger: medium (only trusted users should be able to connect to leafnode, lest it was installed improperly). Affects: leafnode 1.9.20 up to 1.9.29 Not affected: leafnode 1.9.30 and 1.9.31 Default install: unaffected. Introduced: 2002-03-14 23:41:40 UTC (CVS) 2002-03-25 20:58 leafnode 1.9.20 released Corrected: 2002-11-08 17:14:41 UTC (CVS) - committed corrected version 2002-12-04 00:40 leafnode 1.9.30 released 0. Release history 2002-12-29 1.00 initial announcement 1. Background leafnode is a store-and-forward proxy for Usenet news, is uses the network news transfer protocol (NNTP). It consists of several collaborating programs, the server part is usually started by inetd, xinetd or tcpserver, the client part is usually started by cron or manually. This security announcement pertains to leafnode-1, the stable branch. The leafnode-2 development branch has not yet seen a stable release, so it is not subject to security announcements. 2. Problem description A vulnerability was found in the leafnode program (the NNTP server) that may go into an infinite loop with 100% CPU use when an article that has been crossposted to several groups, one of which is the prefix of another, and when this article is then requested by its Message-ID. Note though that one newsgroup name MUST NOT be the prefix of anohter newsgroup's name, these problems show up however in badly-maintained or anarchistic hierarchies such as alt.* or free.*. 3. Impact This vulnerability can make leafnode's nntpd server, named leafnode, go into an unterminated loop when a particular article is requested. The connection becomes irresponsive, and the server hogs the CPU. The client will have to terminate the connection and connect again, and may fall prey to the same problem; ultimately, there may be so many leafnode processes hogging the CPU that no serious work is possible any more and the super user has to kill all running leafnode processes. 4. Workaround No sane workaround can be presented. 5. Solution Upgrade your leafnode package to version 1.9.30 or 1.9.31, or apply the patch below and recompile and reinstall. Note that leafnode 1.9.X versions are stable, and it is usually best to go for the latest released 1.9.X version to have all the other bug fixes as well.

It can only strike when an ARTICLE, HEAD, STAT or BODY command in Message-= ID syntax accesses a crossposted article AFTER a GROUP command and if the = group name given there is part of another group's name that the article was crossposted to. Credits to Jan Knutar for a detailed bug report. o Only consider groups (after LIST or NEWGROUPS) that match the only_groups_pcre, if one is configured. This avoids offering groups tha= t are never fetched. o Detect and report write errors when writing the new active ("groupinfo"= ) file. o Whitelist STAT command for NewsCache versions 0.99.18, 0.99.19, 0.99.2?= ., 1.1.* o RPMs built from the included .spec file now install a "config" and "fil= ters" file, both are marked "noreplace". This should prevent these files from being lost when a SuSE RPM is replaced by one built from this file. o Leafnode will delete duplicate newsgroups from its active file. This pr= ocess is case-blind. Some badly maintained upstream servers have the same newsgroup more than once, but only differing in capitalization. Leafnod= e will prefer the group with LESS upper-case characters. o Fix maxage =3D 0 regression of leafnode 1.9.21. maxage =3D 0 seems not = to be in wide use... ### WORKAROUNDS o Blacklist STAT for servers that contain "NNTP news cache" in their greetings, reported to be necessary for NTL (UK) by Robert Marshall. ### CHANGES o Leafnode now ships with a leafnode.cron.daily file. See INSTALL. o Leafnode now ships with a filters.example file that was taken from the = SuSE 7.3 RPM. ### DOCUMENTATION o The newsq manual page was reworked and is more comprehensive now. o README-FQDN was corrected in respect to the dfncis.de host name. o FAQ has information on the Red Hat inetd vs. xinetd issue. =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iQCVAwUBPe1eTSdEoB0mv1ypAQHR+AP/fM6HBnmyrZNCIwqyPvd8+/AbOhsi62em QKRcN7EBJH+cKkfEXYOWcB9H8QzVkHwp7ZZ5dniIfolZXK2gvmKBNdIiSAGQkJPE n+rxuMWGeDqW0s3Dy6aTcOrvgVjl4mZNWsIf++tCAvO8msB5cZwZzHCNIbgVRE2g lu+5cyaxQfs=3D =3DrMO2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- |

### BUGFIXES
o Leafnode no longer goes into an infinite loop if your interface list
as returned by ioctl(...SIOCGIFCONF...) is longer than 2047 bytes.
This was a show-stopper bug without workaround (except unconfiguring
interfaces or disabling IPv6, which is usually not an option).
The bug was less likely to strike home on computers (except routers),
as these tend to have less interfaces. More likely to strike bigger
IPv6-enabled BSD servers.
o Type issues on 64-bit machines (time_t is int) have been fixed.
o RPM build: the spec file has been revamped, the documentation
directory now has proper permissions again.
o Leafnode builds again on non-IPv6 machines such as Solaris 2.6.
### CHANGES
o Robustness: The allowstrangers option is now "stronger", enabling it
defeats the "is the client on a local IP" check altogether -- to allow
for workarounds should further bugs in this check strike us.
o Documentation: The FAQ has been converted to DocBook XML and updated,
and the TROUBLESHOOTING document that carried only two items has been
merged into the FAQ. It comes now as plain text, HTML and PDF. The
CREDITS file has been updated.

Hello,
leafnode 1.9.25.rel has been released.
This is a recommended update, with the focus on bugfixes, but it has two
new features. *BSD uses will have eagerly waited for this one, as it
fixes the interface IP/netmask misdetection. Details below.

s)
http://mandree.home.pages.de/leafnode/
o W=FCrzburg University (as Cornelius has time to update the site)
http://www.leafnode.org/
o IBiblio/MetaLab (will take some ten hours to pick up)
http://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/MIRRORS.html
Check in the system/news/transport directory!

* 1.9.25, 2002-08-30
### DEDICATION
o Although only a symbolic measure and no consolation to any victim,
this version is dedicated to all the people in the flooded areas of
Central and Eastern Europe, particularly Austria, the Czech republic
and Germany, where many cities have been drowned by the Moldau,
Danube, Elbe and other rivers rivers that have turned into torrential
currents by severe rainfall; whole cities in Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and
Brandenburg and the Northwestern Czech republic had to be abandoned
temporarily. The material damage is immeasurable, and the personal
damage considerable.
Protection of the environment is important and everybody's task.
### INCOMPATIBLE
o Leafnode's LIST EXTENSIONS reply no longer starts with leading
whitespace. The current NNTP draft no longer wants whitespace there.
o Leafnode's [X]HDR <header> <message-id> commands now return
the message-ID in front of the header, which is in conformance with
RFC-2980 but contradicts draft-ietf-nntpext-base-15.txt which has
expired on 2002-07-15 (which requires the article number to be
printed, which is not available before GROUP or which is not in unison
when the article is crossposted).
### GENERAL
o Fix "configured hostname not accepted" issue: Leafnode now reads the
configuration file before validating the hostname or creating the lock
file, so the hostname configuration option becomes actually effective.
o The lsort program is no longer installed. When updating from a
previous version, then please remove it (the default location is
/usr/local/sbin) -- it is only used (with explicit path) when you type
"make update" and is not needed later.
o Documentation updates, including tcpserver/daemontools instructions.
o Build files have been regenerated with automake 1.6.2 (autoconf 2.53)
o A tighter integration of the included PCRE directory into the build
process.
o German documentation is back.
o Fix some PCRE compile issues.
o The paths of the FILES sections of the manpages should now be correct.
o The FAQ file now ships.
o MacOS X 10.1/Darwin build fixes for -twolevel_namespace issue. We pass
-flat_namespace to the linker.
o Easier first-time installation: A script to aid setting up leafnode
when daemontools and tcpserver are present.
### nntpd
o Fix reading interface information on systems that have sa_len in
struct sockaddr, such as FreeBSD. Leafnode would erroneously refuse
connections from IPv4 clients on these machines when IPv6 interfaces
were configured.
o New allow_8bit_headers configuration option (default off) to accept
unencoded 8-bit data (seems to be common in dk.* and no.* hierarchies)
o Fix lots of minor bugs that splint turned up.
o Fix some minor XHDR issues.
o Fix LIST ACTIVE.TIMES (did not work at all and returned bogus data).
o Add HDR support (same as XHDR, basically).
o Redo the HELP output.
o List HDR in LIST EXTENSIONS reply.
o Fix crash when the client terminates the connection right after a POST
command. Not exploitable, reported and fixed by Fabrizio Tironi.
### fetchnews
o when updating the active file fails, set a flag to try downloading the
whole active file again on the next run and keep the old active data
to avoid losing group lo/hi marks.
o new server-specific option "noactive =3D 1" to defeat downloading the
full active file (newsgroups list) from this server. Courtesy of Mark
Brown of Debian.

Hello, as leafnode is now also registered on sourceforge.net (not much there yet), I created a (moderated) leafnode-announce mailing list on sourceforge, which is to carry announcements of new leafnode 1.9 and 2.0 releases, announcements of important (i. e. security relevant or operation critical) bugs (and patches thereof). To subscribe (or later edit your list settings or unsubscribe), please visit http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leafnode-announce You will be sent an email requesting confirmation, to avoid being subscribed inadvertently by others. Have fun, -- Matthias Andree |
