#64 closed Bug / Defect (fixed)

LOTS of bogus routes added on client connect

Reported by: agi Owned by: David Sommerseth

Description

As reported here:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=600166

When I client connects lots of routes (that make no sense) get added when the server config file contains:
push "route remote_host 255.255.255.255 net_gateway"

Changing "remote_host" with the actual IP, fixes it.

(14:47) <@ dazo> add git commit f9b2ada0eece06158cc3ce6f6348bd431dfd7f0a / svn -r 6291 as the offending commit

agi reported that removing the changes from the referenced git/svn commits in route.c only resolves the issue.

Could you please try the patch I have attached (and sent to the openvpn-devel list)?

I think I have spotted the problem (netlist is using uninitialized stack garbage as "len" for this sort of special-case routes), and the patch is quite trivial...

over to dazo: patch has been successfully tested and ACKed on the mailing list.

Please include in bugfix2.1 (rebased to svn-BETA21 :-) ) and I assume that this also need patching in 2.2beta3

commit 59afc4a5f72e22b850cfa2845385172623a38e77
Author: Gert Doering <gert@greenie.muc.de>

    Fix problem with special case route targets ('remote_host')
    
    The init_route() function will leave &netlist untouched for
    get_special_addr() routes ("remote_host" being one of them).
    netlist is on stack,  contains random garbage, and netlist.len
    will not be 0 - thus, random stack data is copied from
    netlist.data[] until the route_list is full.
