* write pid file immediately after daemonizingSteffan Karger2015-06-211-8/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since we split daemonizing from changing directory in commit da9b292 (f025de005d719201a69ad0313d545a1ddd244752 in release/2.3), we can now simply write the pid file immediately after daemonizing. This not only fixes the bug reported in trac #563, but also further simplifies the code. trac #563 Signed-off-by: Steffan Karger <steffan@karger.me> Acked-by: Gert Doering <gert@greenie.muc.de> Message-Id: <1434665325-3225-1-git-send-email-steffan@karger.me> URL: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.network.openvpn.devel/9793 Signed-off-by: Gert Doering <gert@greenie.muc.de>
* Remove count_netmask_bits(), convert users to use netmask_to_netbits2()Gert Doering2015-03-081-4/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | The previous Linux/iproute2 code converted binary netmasks to string representation (print_in_addr_t()), just to immediately scanf() it back to binary to count bits. netmask_to_netbits2() directly works on the in_addr_t.

* MSVC fixesJames Yonan2013-08-161-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes to allow compilation with Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 * Fixed several instances of declarations after statements. * In socket.c, fixed issue where uninitialized value (err) is being passed to to gai_strerror. * ssl.c is trying to access multi_output_peer_info_env function in multi.c, causing an undefined symbol warning at compile time. ssl.c is strictly a client of multi.c (but not the other way around), therefore ssl.c does not include multi.h and should not depend on multi.h API. To fix, moved validate_peer_info_line and multi_output_peer_info_env from multi.c to misc.c. * MSVC doesn't support %z as a printf format specifier for size_t * MSVC doesn't support a const variable being used to dimension an array. * Explicitly cast the third parameter to setsockopt to const void * Acked-by: Gert Doering <gert@greenie.muc.de> Message-Id: <1375049135-21444-1-git-send-email-james@openvpn.net> URL: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.network.openvpn.devel/7777 Signed-off-by: Gert Doering <gert@greenie.muc.de>
* Remove the support for using system() when executing external programs or ↵David Sommerseth2012-10-311-5/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | scripts This patch removes the support for the system() call, and enforces the usage of execve() on the *nix platform and CreateProcessW() on Windows. This is to enhance the overall security when calling external scripts. Using system() is prone to shell expansions, which may lead to security breaches. Which is also why the execve() approach has been the default since commit a82813527551f0e79c6d6ed5a9c1162e3c171bcf which re-introduced the system() in Nov. 2008. After having asked on the mailing list and checked around on the IRC channels, the genereal consensus is that very few uses system() these days. The only annoyance I've been made aware of is that this will now require adding a full path to the script interpreter together with the script, and not just put in the script name alone. But to just use the script name in Windows, you had to configure --script-security with the 'system' flag earlier too. So my conclusion is that it's better to add a full path to the script interpreter in Windows and raise the overal security with OpenVPN, than to continue to have a possible potentially risky OpenVPN configuration just to make life "easier" for Windows script users. Removal of the system() call, also solves a nasty bug related to the usage of putenv() on the *nix platforms.

* Add --compat-names optionHeiko Hund2012-09-121-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With this option, users can basically undo the changes of the UTF-8 support commit 5e86fd93779482b90a191f929edebe414cd78a4f. It's here for short term compatibility and should be removed again as soon as possible. When OpenSSL is used, the subject strings will be in the proprietary format again. Generally username, X.509 CN, and X.509 subject will again be subject to '_' replacemant, unless the "no-remapping" flag is also specified. That flag ensures compatibility with setups using the --no-name-remapping option, that has been removed in 2.3. [v2: More comments related to compat_flags() added by DS plus using COMPAT_FLAG_QUERY expclit] [v3: Improved the man page entry for --compat-names, after suggestions from Bernhard R.
