ngIRCd Release 20.3

Correctly handle return code of Handle_Write()
There have been code paths that ignored the return code of Handle_Write() when sending "notice auth" messages to new clients connecting to the server. But because Handle_Write() would have closed the client connection again if an error occurred, this would have resulted in new errors and assert()'s later on that could have crashed the server (denial of service). Only setups having the configuration option "NoticeAuth" enabled are affected, which is not the default. CVE-2013-5580. (cherry picked from commit 309122017e)

-ngIRCd Release 19.2
+ngIRCd 20.3 (2013-08-23)
+
+  - Security: Fix a denial of service bug (server crash) which could happen
+    when the configuration option "NoticeAuth" is enabled (which is NOT the
+    default) and ngIRCd failed to send the "notice auth" messages to new
+    clients connecting to the server (CVE-2013-5580).
+
+ngIRCd 20.2 (2013-02-15)
+
+  - Security: Fix a denial of service bug in the function handling KICK
+    commands that could be used by arbitrary users to to crash the daemon
+    (CVE-2013-1747).
+  - WHO command: Use the currently "displayed hostname" (which can be cloaked!)
+    for hostname matching, not the real one. In other words: don't display all
+    the cloaked users on a specific real hostname!
+  - configure: The header file "netinet/in_systm.h" already is optional in
+    ngIRCd, so don't require it in the configure script. Now ngIRCd can be
+    built on Minix 3 again :-)
+  - Return better "Connection not registered as server link" errors: Now ngIRCd
+    returns a more specific error message for numeric ERR_NOTREGISTERED(451)
+    when a regular user tries to use a command that isn't allowed for users but
+    for servers.
+  - Don't report ERR_NEEDMOREPARAMS(461) when a MDOE command with more modes
+    than nicknames is handled, as well as for channel limit and key changes
+    without specifying the limit or key parameters.
+    This is how a lot (all?) other IRC servers behave, including ircd2.11,
+    InspIRCd, and ircd-seven. And because of clients (tested with Textual and
+    mIRC) sending bogus MODE commands like "MODE -ooo nick", end-users got the
+    expected result as well as correct but misleading error messages ...
+  - Correctly detect when SSL subsystem must be initialized and take
+    outgoing connections (server links!) into account, too.
+  - autogen.sh: Enforce serial test harness on GNU automake >=1.13. The
+    new parallel test harness which is enabled by default starting with
+    automake 1.13 isn't compatible with our test suite.
+    And don't use "egrep -o", insetead use "sed", because it isn't portable
+    and not available on OpenBSD, for example.
+
+ngIRCd 20.1 (2013-01-02)
+
+  - Allow ERROR command on server and service links only, ignore them and
+    add a penalty time on all other link types.
+  - Enforced mode setting by IRC Operators: Only check the channel user
+    modes of the initiator if he is joined to the channel and not an IRC
+    operator enforcing modes (which requires the configuration option
+    "OperCanUseMode" to be enabled), because trying to check channel user
+    modes of a non-member results in an assertion when running with debug
+    code or could crash the daemon otherwise. This closes bug #147, thanks
+    to James Kirwill <james.kirwill@bk.ru> for tracking this down!
+  - Fix build system to cope with spaces in path names.
+  - Code cleanups, mostly to fix build warnings on Cygwin.
+
+ngIRCd 20 (2012-12-17)
+
+  - Allow user names ("INDENT") up to 20 characters when ngIRCd has not
+    been configured for "strict RFC mode". This is useful if you are using
+    external (PAM) authenticaion mechanisms that require longer user names.
+    Patch suggested by Brett Smith <brett@w3.org>, see
+    <http://arthur.barton.de/pipermail/ngircd-ml/2012-October/000579.html>.
+
+  ngIRCd 20~rc2 (2012-12-02)
+  - Rework cloaked hostname handling and implement the "METADATA cloakhost"
+    subcommand: Now ngIRCd uses two fields internally, one to store the
+    "real" hostname and one to save the "cloaked" hostname. This allows
+    "foreign servers" (aka "IRC services") to alter the real and cloaked
+    hostnames of clients without problems, even when the user itself issues
+    additional "MODE +x" and "MODE -x" commands.
+  - RPL_UMODEIS: send correct target name, even on server links.
+  - Update platformtest.sh to follow autoconf changes and only generate
+    the "configure" script when it is missing.
+  - Fix the test suite to correctly execute test scripts even when stdout
+    is redirected.
+  - Fix some compiler warnings on NetBSD and OpenBSD.
+
+  ngIRCd 20~rc1 (2012-11-11)
+  - Update doc/Services.txt: describe the upcoming version of Anope 1.9.8,
+    then including a protocol module for ngIRCd. And remove our own patches
+    in ./contrib/Anope because they aren't supported any more ...
+  - Implement new "METADATA" command which can be used by remote servers
+    and IRC services to update client metadata like the client info text
+    ("real name"), user name, and hostname, and use this command to
+    configure an cloaked hostname (user mode "+x") on remote servers:
+    This prevents "double cloaking" of hostnames and even cloaked
+    hostnames are in sync on all servers supporting "METADATA" now.
+  - Fix error message when trying to join non-predefined channels and the
+    "PredefChannelsOnly" configuration option is set.
+  - Implement new IRC "SVSNICK" command to allow remote servers (and IRC
+    services) to change nicknames of already registered users. The SVSNICK
+    command itself doesn't change the nickname, but it becomes forwarded
+    to the server to which the user is connected to. And then this server
+    initiates the real nickname changing using regular NICK commands.
+    This allows to run mixed networks with old servers not supporting the
+    SVSNICK command, because SVSNICK commands for nicknames on such servers
+    are silently ignored and don't cause a desynchronization of the network.
+  - Make server reconnect time a little bit more random, so that two
+    servers trying to connect to each other asynchronously don't try this
+    in exactly the same time periods and kick each other off ...
+  - Don't accept connections for servers already being linked: there was a
+    time frame that could result in one connection overwriting the other,
+    e. g. the incoming connection overwriting the status of the outgoing
+    one. And this could lead to all kind of weirdness (even crashes!) later
+    on: now such incoming connections are dropped.
+  - New configuration option "MaxListSize" to configure the maximum number
+    of channels returned by a LIST command. The default is 100, as before.
+  - Implement user mode "b", "block messages": when a user has set mode "b",
+    all private messages and notices to this user are blocked if they don't
+    originate from a registered user, an IRC Op, server or service. The
+    originator gets an error numeric sent back in this case,
+    ERR_NONONREG_MSG (486), which is used by UnrealIRCd, too. (Closes #144)
+  - WHOIS: Not only show RPL_WHOISHOST_MSG to local IRC operators, but show
+    it to all IRC operators in the network. And don't show it to anybody if
+    the "more privacy" configuration option is enabled. (Closes #134)
+  - Test suite: make expect scripts more verbose displaying dots for each
+    reply of the server that it is waiting for.
+  - WHOIS: Implement numeric RPL_WHOISMODES_MSG (379) and show user modes in
+    the reply of the WHOIS command for the user himself or, if MorePrivacy
+    isn't set, for request initiated by an IRC operator. (Closes #129)
+  - Implement channel mode "V" (invite disallow): If the new channel mode
+    "V" is set, the INVITE command becomes invalid and all clients get the
+    new ERR_NOINVITE_MSG (518) reply. (Closes #143)
+  - KICK-protect IRC services.
+  - Implement channel mode "Q" and user mode "q": Both modes protect users
+    from channel kicks: only IRC operators and servers can kick users having
+    mode "q" or in channels with mode "Q". (Closes #141)
+  - Debian: require "telnet" or "telnet-ssl" for building and enable
+    CHARCONV in ngircd-full[-dbg] variants.
+  - Send RPL_REHASHING (382) numeric if a REHASH command was accepted.
+  - Fix spelling and variable names in some log messages.
+  - Allow users to "cloak" their hostname only when the configuration
+    variable "CloakHostModeX" (introduced in 19.2) is set. Otherwise, only
+    IRC operators, other servers, and services are allowed to set the user
+    mode "+x": this prevents regular users from changing their hostmask to
+    the name of the IRC server itself, which confused quite a few people ;-)
+    (Closes #133)
+  - New configuration option "OperChanPAutoOp": If disabled, IRC operators
+    don't become channel operators in persistent channels when joining.
+    Enabled by default, which has been the behavior of ngIRCd up to this
+    patch. (Closes #135)
+  - Allow IRC operators to see secret (+s) channels in LIST command as long
+    as the "MorePrivacy" configuration option isn't enabled in the
+    configuration file. (Closes #136)
+  - Enhance build system: Support new (>=1.12) and old (<=1.11) GNU automake
+    versions, update checks for required and optional features, enable
+    colored test output of automake (if available), rename configure.in to
+    more modern configure.ac, include .mailmap and all build-system files in
+    distribution archives and no longer require a GIT tree to detect the
+    correct version string.
+  - Update documentation: add doc/Contributing.txt and include version
+    numbers in doc/Modes.txt.
+  - Free all listen ports on initialization: now listen ports can be
+    reconfigured on runtime using a configuration reload.
+  - Initialize SSL when needed only, and disable SSL on errors.
+  - Implement new (optional) IRC+ "CHARCONV" command to set a client
+    character set that the server translates all messages to/from UTF-8.
+    This feature requires the "libiconv" library and must be enabled using
+    the new "--with-iconv" option of the ./configure script. See
+    doc/Protocol.txt for details. (Closes #109)
+  - Allow limited punctuation in usernames, for better PAM integration.
+  - Correctly re-initialize signal handlers on RESTART commands.
+  - Show a warning on startup if the configuration file is not a full path:
+    ngIRCd is a long-running process and changes its working directory to
+    "/" to not block mounted filesystems and the like when running as daemon
+    ("not in the foreground"); therefore the path to the configuration file
+    must be relative to "/" (or the chroot() directory), which basically is
+    "not relative", to ensure that "kill -HUP" and the "REHASH" command work
+    as expected later on. (Closes #127)
+  - Make the "&SERVER" channel definable in a [Channel] configuration block,
+    which enables server operators to overwrite the built-in topic and
+    channel modes. (Closes #131)
+  - Don't limit list size of "WHO #channel" commands, because it makes no
+    sense to not return all the users in that channel, so I removed the
+    check. But if there are more than MAX_RPL_WHO(25) replies, the client
+    requesting the list will be "penalized" one second more, then 2 in
+    total. (Closes #125)
+  - Make ngIRCd buildable using the kqueue() IO interface on FreeBSD 4.x.
+  - Fix the "NoticeAuth" configuration option when using SSL connections and
+    enhance the message to show the hostname and IDENT reply of the client.
+  - Introduce numeric RPL_HOSTHIDDEN_MSG (396): This numeric is sent to the
+    client each time it changes its displayed hostname using "MODE +/-x",
+    and if "CloakHost" is set right after the MOTD has been sent.
+  - Fix USERHOST not displaying the correctly cloaked hostname.
+  - Implement user mode "B" ("Bot flag"): it is settable and unsettable by
+    every (non-restricted) client. This is how Unreal and InspIRCd do
+    behave, and so do we :-)
+  - Dynamically allocate memory for connection passwords: This a) saves
+    memory for clients not using passwords at all and b) allows for
+    "arbitrarily" long passwords.
+  - Implement channel mode "M": Only the server, identified users and IRC
+    operators are able to talk in such a channel.
+  - Block nicknames that are reserved for services and are defined using the
+    configuration variable "ServiceMask" in "Server" blocks; And this
+    variable now can handle more than one mask separated by commas.
+  - Now "make uninstall" removes the installed "ngircd.conf" file, if it is
+    still equal to our "sample-ngircd.conf" file and therefore hasn't been
+    modified by the user. If it has been modified, it isn't removed and a
+    notice is displayed to the user. And "make install" now displays a
+    message when no ngircd.conf file exists and the "sample-ngircd.conf"
+    file will be installed as a starting point.
+  - Add contrib/ngircd.service, a systemd service file for ngircd.
+  - Implemented XOP channel user modes: "Half Op" ("+h", prefix "%") can set
+    the channel modes +imntvIbek and kick all +v and normal users; "Admin"
+    ("+a", prefix "&") can set channel modes +imntvIbekoRsz and kick all +o,
+    +h, +v and normal users; and "Owner" ("+q", prefix "~") can set channel
+    modes +imntvIbekoRsz and kick all +a, +o, +h, +v and normal users.
+  - Implement hashed cloaked hostnames for both the "CloakHost" and
+    "CloakHostModeX" configuration options: now the admin can use the new
+    '%x' placeholder to insert a hashed version of the clients hostname,
+    and the new configuration option "CloakHostSalt" defines the salt for
+    the hash function. When "CloakHostSalt" is not set (the default), a
+    random salt will be generated after each server restart. (Closes #133)

+  - Rework cloaked hostname handling and implement the "METADATA cloakhost"
+    subcommand: Now ngIRCd uses two fields internally, one to store the
+    "real" hostname and one to save the "cloaked" hostname. This allows
+    "foreign servers" (aka "IRC services") to alter the real and cloaked
+    hostnames of clients without problems, even when the user itself issues
+    additional "MODE +x" and "MODE -x" commands.
+
+  ngIRCd 20~rc1 (2012-11-11)
+  - Update doc/Services.txt: describe the upcoming version of Anope 1.9.8,
+    then including a protocol module for ngIRCd. And remove our own patches
+    in ./contrib/Anope because they aren't supported any more ...
+  - Implement new "METADATA" command which can be used by remote servers
+    and IRC services to update client metadata like the client info text
+    ("real name"), user name, and hostname, and use this command to
+    configure an cloaked hostname (user mode "+x") on remote servers:
+    This prevents "double cloaking" of hostnames and even cloaked
+    hostnames are in sync on all servers supporting "METADATA" now.
+  - Implement new IRC "SVSNICK" command to allow remote servers (and IRC
+    services) to change nicknames of already registered users. The SVSNICK
+    command itself doesn't change the nickname, but it becomes forwarded
+    to the server to which the user is connected to. And then this server
+    initiates the real nickname changing using regular NICK commands.
+    This allows to run mixed networks with old servers not supporting the
+    SVSNICK command, because SVSNICK commands for nicknames on such servers
+    are silently ignored and don't cause a desynchronization of the network.
+  - New configuration option "MaxListSize" to configure the maximum number
+    of channels returned by a LIST command. The default is 100, as before.
+  - Implement user mode "b", "block messages": when a user has set mode "b",
+    all private messages and notices to this user are blocked if they don't
+    originate from a registered user, an IRC Op, server or service. The
+    originator gets an error numeric sent back in this case,
+    ERR_NONONREG_MSG (486), which is used by UnrealIRCd, too. (Closes #144)
+  - Implement channel mode "V" (invite disallow): If the new channel mode
+    "V" is set, the INVITE command becomes invalid and all clients get the
+    new ERR_NOINVITE_MSG (518) reply. (Closes #143)
+  - Implement channel mode "Q" and user mode "q": Both modes protect users
+    from channel kicks: only IRC operators and servers can kick users having
+    mode "q" or in channels with mode "Q". (Closes #141)
+  - Allow users to "cloak" their hostname only when the configuration
+    variable "CloakHostModeX" (introduced in 19.2) is set. Otherwise, only
+    IRC operators, other servers, and services are allowed to set the user
+    mode "+x": this prevents regular users from changing their hostmask to
+    the name of the IRC server itself, which confused quite a few people ;-)
+    (Closes #133)
+  - New configuration option "OperChanPAutoOp": If disabled, IRC operators
+    don't become channel operators in persistent channels when joining.
+    Enabled by default, which has been the behavior of ngIRCd up to this
+    patch. (Closes #135)
+  - Allow IRC operators to see secret (+s) channels in LIST command as long
+    as the "MorePrivacy" configuration option isn't enabled in the
+    configuration file. (Closes #136)
+  - Implement new (optional) IRC+ "CHARCONV" command to set a client
+    character set that the server translates all messages to/from UTF-8.
+    This feature requires the "libiconv" library and must be enabled using
+    the new "--with-iconv" option of the ./configure script. See
+    doc/Protocol.txt for details. (Closes #109)
+  - Implement user mode "B" ("Bot flag"): it is settable and unsettable by
+    every (non-restricted) client. This is how Unreal and InspIRCd do
+    behave, and so do we :-)
+  - Implement channel mode "M": Only the server, identified users and IRC
+    operators are able to talk in such a channel.
+  - Block nicknames that are reserved for services and are defined using the
+    configuration variable "ServiceMask" in "Server" blocks; And this
+    variable now can handle more than one mask separated by commas.
+  - Implemented XOP channel user modes: "Half Op" ("+h", prefix "%") can set
+    the channel modes +imntvIbek and kick all +v and normal users; "Admin"
+    ("+a", prefix "&") can set channel modes +imntvIbekoRsz and kick all +o,
+    +h, +v and normal users; and "Owner" ("+q", prefix "~") can set channel
+    modes +imntvIbekoRsz and kick all +a, +o, +h, +v and normal users.
+  - Implement hashed cloaked hostnames for both the "CloakHost" and
+    "CloakHostModeX" configuration options: now the admin can use the new
+    '%x' placeholder to insert a hashed version of the clients hostname,
+    and the new configuration option "CloakHostSalt" defines the salt for
+    the hash function. When "CloakHostSalt" is not set (the default), a
+    random salt will be generated after each server restart.

 I. Introduction
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-ngIRCd is an Open Source server for the Internet Relay Chat (IRC), which
-is developed and published under the terms of the GNU General Public
-Licence, see the file COPYING for details. ngIRCd means "next generation
-IRC daemon" (which is a little bit exaggerated, "lightweight Internet Relay
-Chat server" would be better), it's written from scratch and not deduced
-from the "grandfather of IRC daemons", the daemon of the IRCNet.
+ngIRCd is a free, portable and lightweight Internet Relay Chat server for
+small or private networks, developed under the GNU General Public License
+(GPL; please see the file COPYING for details). It is simple to configure,
+can cope with dynamic IP addresses, and supports IPv6 as well as SSL. It is
+written from scratch and not based on the original IRCd.
+
+The name ngIRCd means next generation IRC daemon, which is a little bit
+exaggerated: lightweight Internet Relay Chat server most probably would be a
+better name :-)

 Please see the INSTALL document for installation and upgrade information!

-Subject: [PATCH 04/16] ngircd: Do PING-PONG on server burst to "sync servers"
-
-Imagine we had three servers, A, B & C linked like so: A<->B<->C:
-
-If Anope is linked to A and B splits from A and then reconnects B
-introduces itself, introduces C, sends EOS for C, introduces B's clients
-introduces C's clients, sends EOS for B. This causes all of C's clients
-to be introduced with their server "not syncing".

-This directory contains two preliminary patches that (re-) add a ngIRCd
-protocol module to the Anope 1.9 development branch. It has been tested
-with Anope 1.9.6, there is no guarantee that it will work with other
-versions as Anope 1.9.x is under heavy development ...
-
-To build this Anope protocol module, you have to
-
- - Download the Anope 1.9.x sources (only tested with 1.9.6!),
- - Patch in the ngIRCd protocol module,
- - Build and install Anope as usual,
- - Configure Anope as usual, use "ngircd" as protocol module.
-
-So the command sequence can be something like this:
-
- $ tar xzf anope-1.9.6-source.tar.gz
- $ cd anope-1.9.6-source
- $ for p in .../ngircd/contrib/Anope/*.patch ; do patch -p1 < $p ; done
- $ ./Config
- $ cd build
- $ make
- $ make install
-
-Please have a look at the file doc/Services.txt for more information about
-how to set up ngIRCd and Anope.

 Currently supported platforms include AIX, A/UX, FreeBSD, HP-UX, IRIX,
 Linux, Mac OS X, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris, and Windows with Cygwin.
