Notable changes include: + +* Fix memory corruption in internal DHCPv6 client (CVE-2018-15688). +* No longer limit number of search entires in resolv.conf to 6. +* Support restricting NetworkManager.conf device configuration based on used DHCP + plugin. +* Add "${MAC}" specifier for connection.stable-id. This uses the current MAC + address for seeding the stable generation of MAC address, DHCP client-id + or IPv6 stable-privacy interface identifier. +* Support special value "duid" for "ipv4.dhcp-client-id". This generates an + RFC4361-compliant client-id like the internal DHCP client used to do by default. + Previously, there was no explicit name for such a client-id and it was not + usable with dhclient DHCP plugin. This also generates the same client-id as + systemd-networkd does by default. +* Support and use a new kind of secret-key in "/var/lib/NetworkManager/secret_key". + The secret-key represents the identity of the machine that is used for various + purposes like generating IPv6 stable privacy addesses. It is now combined + with "/etc/machine-id" so that changing only the machine-id results in new identifiers. + That matters for example when cloning a virtual machine. Previously, the user + hard to prune NetworkManager's secret-key to get a new identity, now regenerating + machine-id suffices. Secret-keys generated by earlier versions of NetworkManager are + not affected and keep their previous behavior. +* Fix the DHCP client-ids based on the MAC address of IPoIB/infiniband devices. +* Fix restoring IP configuration after interface went down. +* No longer let NetworkManager touch rp_filter setting. The rp_filter sysctl must now + be set outside of NetworkManager according to the admin's preference. Note that a strict + rp_filter may break valid use-cases and interacts badly with connectivity checking. +* Various bug fixes and improvements. + +=============================================== NetworkManager-1.14.4 Overview of changes since NetworkManager-1.14.2 =============================================== |
