#216 closed Bug / Defect (fixed)

tap server broken

Reported by: Gert Döring Owned by: David Sommerseth
Priority: blocker Milestone: beta 2.3
Component: Generic / unclassified Version: OpenVPN git master branch (Community Ed)
Severity: Not set (select this one, unless your'e a OpenVPN developer) Keywords:

Description

tap server is completely broken as far as "address learning on the server side" goes.

Instead of learning MAC + forwarding packet, all it does is print this error:

RSat Jun 30 19:35:37 2012 us=148584 cron2-gentoo-i386/193.149.48.170:34603 MULTI: bad source address from client [f2:5e:ad:e0:05:d6], packet dropped

(which is the correct MAC source address for this client). This has been observed "in the wild", and reproduced on a fresh gentoo install (cron2) and on freebsd 9.0 (ecrist/phillip).

The same configuration works perfectly well in 2.2 and in what phillip installed from "ports" (2.x-testing-3c19fcc2099d), but fails in "current as of today" (2.3_alpha2).

commit 8df08de6f84d224c6a79ab6c74ba73c33a47735d

    Repair "tap server" mode brokenness caused by <stdbool.h> fallout
    
    Operator/Cast precedence wrong: casting mac[0] to (bool) first - giving
    "1" for "any mac address that does not start with 00:" - and only then
    bit-anding with "1" - thus always returning "true".  Which, in turn,
    leads to "reject all incoming packets with 'bad source address'".
