slackhq/nebula v1.7.0

Release v1.7.0

on GitHub

Added

• nebula-cert ca now supports encrypting the CA's private key with a passphrase. Pass -encrypt in order to be prompted for a passphrase. Encryption is performed using AES-256-GCM and Argon2id for KDF. KDF parameters default to RFC recommendations, but can be overridden via CLI flags -argon-memory, -argon-parallelism, and -argon-iterations. (#386)

• Support for curve P256 and BoringCrypto has been added. See README section "Curve P256 and BoringCrypto" for more details. (#865, #861, #769, #856, #803)

• New firewall rule local_cidr. This could be used to filter destinations when using unsafe_routes. (#507)

• Add unsafe_route option install. This controls whether the route is installed in the systems routing table. (#831)

• Add tun.use_system_route_table option. Set to true to manage unsafe routes directly on the system route table with gateway routes instead of in Nebula configuration files. This is only supported on Linux. (#839)

• The metric certificate.ttl_seconds is now exposed via stats. (#782)

• Add punchy.respond_delay option. This allows you to change the delay before attempting punchy.respond. Default is 5 seconds. (#721)

• Added SSH commands to allow the capture of a mutex profile. (#737)

• You can now set lighthouse.calculated_remotes to make it possible to do handshakes without a lighthouse in certain configurations. (#759)

• The firewall can be configured to send REJECT replies instead of the default DROP behavior. (#738)

• For macOS, an example launchd configuration file is now provided. (#762)

Changed

• Lighthouses and other static_host_map entries that use DNS names will now be automatically refreshed to detect when the IP address changes. (#796)

• Lighthouses send ACK replies back to clients so that they do not fall into connection testing as often by clients. (#851, #408)

• Allow the listen.host option to contain a hostname. (#825)

• When Nebula switches to a new certificate (such as via SIGHUP), we now rehandshake with all existing tunnels. This allows firewall groups to be updated and pki.disconnect_invalid to know about the new certificate expiration time. (#838, #857, #842, #840, #835, #828, #820, #807)

Fixed

• Always disconnect blocklisted hosts, even if pki.disconnect_invalid is not set. (#858)

• Dependencies updated and go1.20 required. (#780, #824, #855, #854)

• Fix possible race condition with relays. (#827)

• FreeBSD: Fix connection to the localhost's own Nebula IP. (#808)

• Normalize and document some common log field values. (#837, #811)

• Fix crash if you set unlucky values for the firewall timeout configuration options. (#802)

• Make DNS queries case insensitive. (#793)

• Update example systemd configurations to want nss-lookup. (#791)

• Errors with SSH commands now go to the SSH tunnel instead of stderr. (#757)

• Fix a hang when shutting down Android. (#772)
