Published Feb 2, 2024

Updated

This update for openconnect fixes the following issues: Update to release 9.12:

Explicitly reject overly long tun device names.

Increase maximum input size from stdin (#579). Ignore 0.0.0.0 as NBNS address (!446, vpnc-scripts#58). Fix stray (null) in URL path after Pulse authentication (4023bd95). Fix config XML parsing mistake that left GlobalProtect ESP non-working in v9.10 (!475).

Fix case sensitivity in GPST header matching (!474).

Update to release 9.10:

Fix external browser authentication with KDE plasma-nm < 5.26.

Always redirect stdout to stderr when spawning external browser. Increase default queue length to 32 packets. Fix receiving multiple packets in one TLS frame, and single packets split across multiple TLS frames, for Array. Handle idiosyncratic variation in search domain separators for all protocols Support region selection field for Pulse authentication Support modified configuration packet from Pulse 9.1R16 servers Allow hidden form fields to be populated or converted to text fields on the command line Support yet another strange way of encoding challenge-based 2FA for GlobalProtect Add --sni option (and corresponding C and Java API functions) to allow domain-fronting connections in censored/filtered network environments Parrot a GlobalProtect server's software version, if present, as the client version (!333) Fix NULL pointer dereference that has left Android builds broken since v8.20 (!389). Fix Fortinet authentication bug where repeated SVPNCOOKIE causes segfaults (#514, !418). Support F5 VPNs which encode authentication forms only in JSON, not in HTML. Support simultaneous IPv6 and Legacy IP ("dual-stack") for Fortinet . Support "FTM-push" token mode for Fortinet VPNs . Send IPv6-compatible version string in Pulse IF/T session establishment Add --no-external-auth option to not advertise external-browser authentication

Many small improvements in server response parsing, and better logging messages and documentation.

Update to release 9.01:

Add support for AnyConnect "Session Token Re-use Anchor Protocol" (STRAP)

Add support for AnyConnect "external browser" SSO mode Bugfix RSA SecurID token decryption and PIN entry forms, broken in v8.20 Support Cisco's multiple-certificate authentication Revert GlobalProtect default route handling change from v8.20 Suppo split-exclude routes for Fortinet

Add webview callback and SAML/SSO support for AnyConnect, GlobalProtect

Update to release 8.20:

Support non-AEAD ciphersuites in DTLSv1.2 with AnyConnect.

Emulated a newer version of GlobalProtect official clients, 5.1.5-8; was 4.0.2-19 Support Juniper login forms containing both password and 2FA token Explicitly disable 3DES and RC4, unless enabled with --allow-insecure-crypto Allow protocols to delay tunnel setup and shutdown (!117) Support for GlobalProtect IPv6 SIGUSR1now causes OpenConnect to log detailed connection information and statistics Allow --servercert to be specified multiple times in order to accept server certificates matching more than one possible fingerprint Demangle default routes sent as split routes by GlobalProtect Support more Juniper login forms, including some SSO forms Restore compatibility with newer Cisco servers, by no longer sending them the X-AnyConnect-Platform header Add support for PPP-based protocols, currently over TLS only. Add support for two PPP-based protocols, F5 with --protocol=f5 and Fortinet with --protocol=fortinet. Add support for Array Networks SSL VPN.

Support TLSv1.3 with TPMv2 EC and RSA keys, add test cases for swtpm and hardware TPM.

Import the latest version of the vpnc-script (bsc#1140772)

This brings a lot of improvements for non-trivial network setups, IPv6 etc

Build with --without-gnutls-version-check

Update to version 8.10:

Install bash completion script to ${datadir}/bash-completion/completions/openconnect.

Improve compatibility of csd-post.sh trojan.

Fix potential buffer overflow with GnuTLS describing local certs (CVE-2020-12823, bsc#1171862, gl#openconnect/openconnect!108).

Introduce subpackage for bash-completion

Update to 8.09:

Add bash completion support.

Give more helpful error in case of Pulse servers asking for TNCC. Sanitize non-canonical Legacy IP network addresses. Fix OpenSSL validation for trusted but invalid certificates (CVE-2020-12105 bsc#1170452). Convert tncc-wrapper.py to Python 3, and include modernized tncc-emulate.py as well. (!91) Disable Nagle's algorithm for TLS sockets, to improve interactivity when tunnel runs over TCP rather than UDP. GlobalProtect: more resilient handling of periodic HIP check and login arguments, and predictable naming of challenge forms.

Work around PKCS#11 tokens which forget to set CKFLOGINREQUIRED.

Update to 8.0.8:

Fix check of pin-sha256: public key hashes to be case sensitive

Don't give non-functioning stderr to CSD trojan scripts.

Fix crash with uninitialised OIDC token.

Update to 8.0.7:

Don't abort Pulse connection when server-provided certificate MD5 doesn't match.

Fix off-by-one in check for bad GnuTLS versions, and add build and run time checks. Don't abort connection if CSD wrapper script returns non-zero (for now). Make --passtos work for protocols that use ESP, in addition to DTLS.

Convert tncc-wrapper.py to Python 3, and include modernized tncc-emulate.py as well.

Remove tncc-wrapper.py script as it is python2 only bsc#1157446

No need to ship hipreport-android.sh as it is intented for android systems only

Update to 8.0.5:

Minor fixes to build on specific platforms

Includes fix for a buffer overflow with chunked HTTP handling (CVE-2019-16239, bsc#1151178)

Use python3 to generate the web data as now it is supported by upstream

Update to 8.0.3:

Fix Cisco DTLSv1.2 support for AES256-GCM-SHA384.

Fix recognition of OTP password fields.

Update to 8.02:

Fix GNU/Hurd build.

Discover vpnc-script in default packaged location on FreeBSD/OpenBSD. Support split-exclude routes for GlobalProtect. Fix GnuTLS builds without libtasn1. Fix DTLS support with OpenSSL 1.1.1+. Add Cisco-compatible DTLSv1.2 support.

Invoke script with reason=attempt-reconnect before doing so.

Update to 8.01:

Clear form submissions (which may include passwords) before freeing (CVE-2018-20319, bsc#1215669).

Allow form responses to be provided on command line. Add support for SSL keys stored in TPM2. Fix ESP rekey when replay protection is disabled. Drop support for GnuTLS older than 3.2.10. Fix --passwd-on-stdin for Windows to not forcibly open console. Fix portability of shell scripts in test suite. Add Google Authenticator TOTP support for Juniper. Add RFC7469 key PIN support for cert hashes. Add protocol method to securely log out the Juniper session. Relax requirements for Juniper hostname packet response to support old gateways. Add API functions to query the supported protocols. Verify ESP sequence numbers and warn even if replay protection is disabled. Add support for PAN GlobalProtect VPN protocol (--protocol=gp). Reorganize listing of command-line options, and include information on supported protocols. SIGTERM cleans up the session similarly to SIGINT. Fix memsets() arguments.

Fix OpenBSD build.

Explicitely enable all the features as needed to stop build if something is missing
