- Added support for FTP EPRT (RFC 2428) command.
- Added support for passive mode FTP servers behind NAT.
- Added security checks for FTP aliasing.
- Load Sharing using IP Network Address Translation (RFC 2391).
- Real PPTP support.
In the words of originator:
:If an incoming connection is initiated through natd and deny_incoming is
:not set, then a new alias_link structure is created to handle the link.
:If there is nothing listening for the incoming connection, then the kernel
:responds with a RST for the connection. However, this is not processed
:correctly in libalias/alias.c:TcpMonitor{In,Out} and
:libalias/alias_db.c:SetState{In,Out} as it thinks a connection
:has been established and therefore applies a timeout of 86400 seconds
:to the link.
:
:If many of these half-connections are initiated (during, for example, a
:port scan of the host), then many thousands of unnecessary links are
:created and the resident size of natd balloons to 20MB or more.

Add bounds checking to netbios NS packet resolving code. This should
prevent natd from crashing on badly formed netbios packets (as might be
heard when the machine is sitting on a cable modem or certain DSL
networks), and also closes potential security holes that might have
exploited the lack of bounds checking in the previous version of the
code.
ppp (or will be shortly). Natd can now be updated to use
this library rather than carrying its own version of the code.
