Gluon 2017.1.3
|
|
|
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The LEDE base of Gluon has been updated to v17.01.3, including various updates,
|
|
|
|
|
stability improvements and security fixes. This includes some critical fixes
|
|
|
|
|
to core packages like dnsmasq (see below for details); upgrading all Gluon
|
|
|
|
|
nodes to v2017.1.3 is highly recommended.

Bugfixes
|
|
|
|
|
~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* dnsmasq has been upgraded to v2.78, fixing CVE-2017-13704, CVE-2017-14491,
|
|
|
|
|
CVE-2017-14492, CVE-2017-14493, CVE-2017-14494, 2017-CVE-14495 and
|
|
|
|
|
2017-CVE-14496
|
|
|
|
|
|
2019-03-10 19:15:25 +00:00
|
|
|
While many of the most severe (remote code execution) vulnerabilities are in
|
2017-10-04 20:53:30 +00:00
|
|
|
the DHCP component of dnsmasq, which is not active on a Gluon node unless in
|
|
|
|
|
Config Mode, CVE-2017-14491 does affect us. An attacker can cause memory
|
|
|
|
|
corruption and possibly remote code execution by deploying a malicious DNS
|
|
|
|
|
server and tricking a node into querying this server.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The Linux kernel has been upgraded to v4.4.89
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Multiple security issues have been fixed in packages that are not usually part
|
|
|
|
|
of the Gluon build, including tcpdump, curl and mbedtls
|

|
* Filtering of multicast packets between the mesh and the *local-node* interface
|
2017-10-04 20:53:30 +00:00
|
|
|
has been fixed (`#1230 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/1230>`_)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This issue was causing gluon-radvd to send a router advertisement to the local
|
|
|
|
|
clients whenever a router solicitation from the mesh was received. In busy
|
|
|
|
|
meshes, it would continuously send router advertisements every 3 seconds.
|

|
|
|
|
|
* Reject autoupdater mirror URLs not starting with ``http://`` during build
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
* Fix MAC addresses on TP-Link TL-WR1043ND v4 when installing Gluon over newer
|
|
|
|
|
stock firmwares (`#1223 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/1223>`_)

Known issues
|
|
|
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Default TX power on many Ubiquiti devices is too high, correct offsets are unknown (`#94 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/94>`_)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Reducing the TX power in the Advanced Settings is recommended.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The MAC address of the WAN interface is modified even when Mesh-on-WAN is disabled (`#496 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/496>`_)
|
|
|
|
|
|
2019-03-10 19:15:25 +00:00
|
|
|
This may lead to issues in environments where a fixed MAC address is expected (like VMware when promiscuous mode is disallowed).
|
2017-10-04 20:53:30 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Inconsistent respondd API (`#522 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/522>`_)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The current API is inconsistent and will be replaced eventually. The old API will still be supported for a while.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Sporadic segfaults of busybox (ash) when running shell scripts on ar71xx
|
|
|
|
|
(`#1157 <https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/1157>`_)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The workaround added in Gluon v2017.1.1 has greatly reduced the frequency of
|
|
|
|
|
segfaults, but did not make them disappear completely.
