Changelog for iperf-devel-3.17.1-85.8.x86_64.rpm :

* Wed May 15 2024 Dirk Müller - update to 3.17.1 (bsc#1224262, CVE-2024-26306):
* BREAKING CHANGE: iperf3\'s authentication features, when used with OpenSSL prior to 3.2.0, contain a vulnerability to a side-channel timing attack. To address this flaw, a change has been made to the padding applied to encrypted strings. This change is not backwards compatible with older versions of iperf3 (before 3.17). To restore the older (vulnerable) behavior, and hence backwards-compatibility, use the --use-pkcs1-padding flag. The iperf3 team thanks Hubert Kario from RedHat for reporting this issue and providing feedback on the fix. (CVE-2024-26306)(PR#1695)
* iperf3 no longer changes its current working directory in --daemon mode. This results in more predictable behavior with relative paths, in particular finding key and credential files for authentication. (PR#1672)
* A new --json-stream option has been added to enable a streaming output format, consisting of a series of JSON objects (for the start of the test, each measurement interval, and the end of the test) separated by newlines (#444, #923, #1098).
* UDP tests now work correctly between different endian hosts
* The --fq-rate parameter now works for --reverse tests
* The statistics reporting interval is now available in the --json start test object (#1663).
* A negative time test duration is now properly flagged as an error (IS#1662 / PR#1666).
* Wed Dec 27 2023 Dirk Müller - update to 3.16:
* Multiple test streams started with -P/--parallel will now be serviced by different threads. This allows iperf3 to take advantage of multiple CPU cores on modern processors, and will generally result in significant throughput increases
* OpenSSL 3 is now detected at build time. If OpenSSL 3 is found, various older, deprecated, APIs will not be used. iperf3 will continue to work with OpenSSL 1.1.1. OpenSSL is used as a part of the iperf3 authentication functionality
* The authorized users file used by the authentication functionality is now checked for accessibility much earlier during the program startup, as opposed to being checked near the start of a test (Issue #1583, PR #1585).
* BREAKING CHANGE: iperf3 now requires pthreads and C atomic variables to compile and run.
* Sat Sep 23 2023 Dirk Müller - update to 3.15 (bsc#1215662, ESNET-SECADV-2023-0002):
* Several bugs that could allow the iperf3 server to hang waiting for input on the control connection has been fixed (ESnet Software Security Advisory ESNET-SECADV-2023-0002)
* A bug that caused garbled output with UDP tests on 32-bit hosts has been fixed (PR #1554, PR #1556). This bug was introduced in iperf-3.14.
* A bug in counting UDP messages has been fixed
* Thu Jul 20 2023 Dirk Müller - update to 3.14 (bsc#1213430, CVE-2023-38403):
* fixes a memory allocation hazard that allowed a remote user to crash an iperf3 process

* A --server-bitrate-limit flag has been added as a server-side command-line argument. It allows a server to enforce a maximum throughput rate; client connections that specify a higher bitrate or exceed this bitrate during a test will be terminated.
