1.02

Version 1.02 reintroduces all the problems listed in 1.014.

Relay Crash in Ask mode

Description
A malicious objects scans for all avatars within the sensor range. For each avatar a new object is rezes out of the content. This objects sends 10 messages to the relay each of about 1000 characters causing sPendingMessage to overflow. After the 10 messages are send these objects die making tracking very difficult.
Note
Some relays accept commands from objects more than 20100 meters away so the attacking objects can be hidden far away.
Workaround
None
Open
although fixed in version 1.15 it was reintroduced by the revert in version 1.02


1.015

The below problems are fixed here

1.014

The following problems occured in version 1.014 and have been fixed:

Stuck: Accepting Permission Dialog after !release

Discovered by
Maike Short
Workaround
Don't accept requests after you have been freed. In case it happend, reenter the cage / sit down again; relog.
Fixed
in 1.015

Force Sit during Login on the control object instead of the forced-sit one

Discovered by
Azoth Amat
Workaround
Always send a "@sit:<id>=force" command if you want a forced sit on relog, even if the victim is already sitting.
Broken fix attempt
change in timer(): sendRLCmd ("@sit:"+(string)kSource+"=force"); to sendRLCmd ("@sit:"+(string)lastForceSitDestination+"=force");
Note
This prevents @unsit to work in case the person set down without being forced if the furniture in question hasn't sent a @sit:<id>=force command. (This should probably be considered a bug in the furniture, not the relay.)
Fixed
in 1.015

Stuck on crash/relog with objects asking for relay upon being sat on

Discovered by
Gregor Mougin
Problem
Many objects check for presence of a relay and the RR viewer by asking for the !version when sat on. If the user crashes, and the object was used by someone else in the meantime (or, for testing, reset), the relay enforces all previous restrictions whereas the object doesn't know of them.
Workaround
none

Fixed
in 1.015 by specially looking for the !pong reply so that the fix works for cages as well (no "force sit" in this situation but a collision detection which is triggered on login, too).
