Package: ddclient
Version: 3.7.3-4
Severity: normal
Tags: patch-available
I think there is a logic bug in ddclient's sanity checking of
max-interval and min-interval. At the moment both checks use the max of
the default value and the configured value, which doesn't limit the
possible range. My assumption is that what the author intended was to
use the max of the configured and default values for min-interval, and
the min of the configured and default values for max-interval, thereby
limiting the range effectively. A patch to this effect is attached.
Whatever the desired intention, this limiting needs to be mentioned in
the help somewhere. At the moment most of the help is via the -help
switch of ddclient, rather than the man page.
This bug was discovered because DynDNS is writing to tell me that my
account is due to expire after 30 days of inactivity, yet my
/etc/ddclient.conf has max-interval=15d, which should force an update of
my IP every 15 days.
