OpenWrt 22.03.0-rc1 first release candidate

Release and security announcements
225

RC1 and RC4 both have (different!) interesting dnsmasq bugs.

If you try to disable AAAA records for a specific domain, for example...the following stanza in /etc/config/dhcp:

config dnsmasq
	...
	list server '/netflix.com/#'
	list address '/netflix.com/::'

that should suppress AAAA records for *.netflix.com will:

  • be completely ignored on RC1 (i.e. it becomes part of the parsed dnsmasq config but dnsmasq does nothing with it)
  • cause dnsmasq on RC4 to crash immediately upon the second AAAA DNS record request for whatever domain is being suppressed

Neither outcome is a good one. =)
