=============================================== NetworkManager-1.14.6 Overview of changes since NetworkManager-1.14.4 =============================================== This is a new stable release of NetworkManager. 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.
