I am pleased to announce secnet 0.3.1.

0.3.1 is a new upstream version containing mostly bugfixes, including
security fixes.  (The vulnerabilities are only exposed to the vpn, not
the global internet, and consist of DoS bugs and a trivial packet
header information leak.)

Many of the bugfixes relate to MTU handling and fragmentation.
0.3.1 also has a new MTU negotiation feature which should improve MTU
handling in deployments where site administrators have configured
differing MTUs.

0.3.1 is backward compatible with previous versions.


secnet 0.3.1 can be found here:

 http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~secnet/release/0.3.1/


If you are upgrading from pre-0.3 secnet, you should make a change to
your secnet.conf file, as follows:
  -transform serpent256-cbc {
  -	max-sequence-skew 10;
  -};
  +transform eax-serpent { }, serpent256-cbc { };
 
The previously-specified transform "serpent256-cbc" has serious
security weaknesses.  If you make this change, your new secnet
will automatically negotiate the new "eax-serpent" transform with
suitably capable peers.


For full details see the git history.

There are no code changes from 0.3.1~beta3 to 0.3.1.
