A number of small improvements have been added to this release, which was
shipped on-time.
Some highlights:
* Diffie-Hellman group 5 is now the first group proposed.
* Two cases where fragmentation is needed will be handled better, thanks
to these two changes
The code that decides whether to send an ICMP complaint back about
a packet which had to be fragmented, but couldn't be, has gotten
smart enough that we now feel comfortable enabling it by default.
and
IKE (UDP/500) packets which were large enough to be fragmented used
to be mishandled, with some of the fragments failing to bypass IPsec
tunnels properly. This has been fixed; our thanks to Hans Schultz.
* If Pluto gets more than one RSA key from DNS, it will now try each key.
This will help when a system administrator replaces a key.
* There is preliminary support for building RPMs.
* SMP support is better.
* The team has eliminated a vulnerability that might permit a denial of
service
attack.
What can we expect from the next release? Henry Spencer writes:
We are in the process of chasing down a couple of significant bugs (which
have been there since at least 1.92 and possibly earlier), and we *might*
ship another release quite shortly if we nail them down and fix them. If
we don't, we won't. Barring that possibility, the next release is planned
for the end of January; a more precise date will be announced shortly.
