v4.3.3 Changes
September 07, 2020🚀 0MQ version 4.3.3 stable, released on 2020/09/07
🔒 Security advisories:
📦 Note for packagers: an external, self-contained sha1 library is now
included in the source tree under external/sha1/ - it is licensed
under BSD-3-Clause and thus it is fully compatible with libzmq's
license.
👍 It is only used if WebSockets support is enabled, and if neither GnuTLS nor
NSS are available.📦 Note for packagers: an internal reimplementation of strlcpy is now included,
for wider platform compatibility.
0️⃣ libbsd can be used and is enabled by default if available instead of the
🔒 internal implementation, for better security maintenance in distros.📦 Note for packagers: ZeroMQConfig.cmake is now installed in the arch-dependent
🐧 subdirectory - eg: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/cmake/🆕 New DRAFT (see NEWS for 4.2.0) socket type:
🆕 New DRAFT (see NEWS for 4.2.0) socket option:

v4.3.2 Changes
July 08, 2019🚀 0MQ version 4.3.2 stable, released on 2019/07/08
CVE-2019-13132: a remote, unauthenticated client connecting to a
libzmq application, running with a socket listening with CURVE
encryption/authentication enabled, may cause a stack overflow and
overwrite the stack with arbitrary data, due to a buffer overflow in
🔧 the library. Users running public servers with the above configuration
⬆️ are highly encouraged to upgrade as soon as possible, as there are no
known mitigations. All versions from 4.0.0 and upwards are affected.
Thank you Fang-Pen Lin for finding the issue and reporting it!New DRAFT (see NEWS for 4.2.0) zmq_socket_monitor_versioned API that supports
a versioned monitoring events protocol as a parameter. Passing 1 results in
the same behaviour as zmq_socket_monitor.
🔖 Version 2 of the events protocol allows new events, new metadata, different
socket types for the monitors and more. It is described in details in
doc/zmq_socket_monitor_versioned.txtNew DRAFT (see NEWS for 4.2.0) zmq_socket_monitor_pipes_stats that triggers
a new ZMQ_EVENT_PIPES_STATS to be delivered via zmq_socket_monitor_versioned
v2 API, which contains the current status of all the queues owned by the
monitored socket. See doc/zmq_socket_monitor_versioned.txt for details.New DRAFT (see NEWS for 4.2.0) zmq_poller_fd that returns the FD of a thread
👀 safe socket. See doc/zmq_poller.txt for details.🆕 New DRAFT (see NEWS for 4.2.0) socket options:
- ZMQ_XPUB_MANUAL_LAST_VALUE is similar to ZMQ_XPUB_MANUAL but allows to avoid
duplicates when using last value caching. - ZMQ_SOCKS_USERNAME and ZMQ_SOCKS_PASSWORD that implement SOCKS5 proxy
authentication.
See doc/zmq_setsockopt.txt and doc/zmq_getsockopt.txt for details.
🏁 Implemented background thread names for Windows, when the Visual Studio
debugger is being used.🔒 Fixed #3358 - test_security_zap failing due to SIGBUS on SPARC64, hard-coded
✅ IPC socket binds in tests cause race conditions🛠 Fixed #3361 - enabling GSSAPI support (when using autools) does not work due
to regression introduced in 4.2.3Fixed #3362 - remove documentation for ZMQ_THREAD_PRIORITY context option
getter, it's not implemented🛠 Fixed #3363 - tests fail to build due to stricter compiler printf validation
in new versions of GCC🛠 Fixed #3367 - try to infer cacheline size at build time, first with
getconf LEVEL1_DCACHE_LINESIZE, and then by reading
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cache/index0/coherency_line_size
(autoconf only), and only then falling back to the previous
0️⃣ default of 64 bytes. Avoids false sharing on POWER and s390x.
Import ax_func_posix_memalign.m4 as a more reliable check for
posix_memalign presence on some unix platforms.
Prefer c++11 atomic primitives to compiler intrinsics, when
both are available, as the former is more reliable.
Set test_pair_ipc and test_rebind_ipc to XFAIL on GNU/Hurd due
to non-functioning getsockname on AF_UNIX.🛠 Fixed #3370 - Make queue length and HWM state observable
🛠 Fixed #3373 - performance regression in zmq_poll on CentOS 6/7
🛠 Fixed #3375 - assign names to all pthreads created by the library to ease
debuggingFixed #3376 - assigned random TIPC port is not returned by ZMQ_LAST_ENDPOINT
Fixed #3385 - TCP port in ZMQ_LAST_ENDPOINT depends on global locale
Fixed #3404 - use std::condition_variable_any when possible
🛠 Fixed #3436 - reconnect interval exponential backoff and may lead to integer
overflows🛠 Fixed #3440 - improve zmq_proxy performance by batching of up to 1000
consecutive messages (if any) and add perf/proxy_thr tool🛠 Fixed #3451 - fix support of /dev/poll on Solaris
🛠 Fixed #3452 - strnlen may not be available
Fixed #1462 - test failure in test_filter_ipc due to invalid system groups
🛠 Fixed #3269 - Boost.ASIO integration stopped working with v4.3.0
🛠 Fixed #3479 - ZeroMQ does not build for QNX 6.6 with CMake
🛠 Fixed #3481 - add include to fix uClibc++ compilation
🛠 Fixed #3491 - build broken on Fedora 30
🛠 Fixed #3494 - ZeroMQConfig.cmake fails if shared libraries are not built

🛠 Fixed #3500 - PLAIN HELLO message incorrectly uses WELCOME literal, regression
introduced in 4.3.0🛠 Fixed #3517 - configure errors because of syntax errors in the use of test
shell command🛠 Fixed #3521 - document how to achieve high performance with the PGM transport
Fixed #3526 - failure case behavior unclear in zmq_msg_send documentation
🛠 Fixed #3537 - fix build on z/OS by using pthread_equal instead of comparing
variables directly🛠 Fixed #3546 - CMake links with librt on MinGW which is not available
💅 Many coding style, duplication, testing and static analysis improvements.

v4.3.2-win
August 27, 2019 -
v4.3.1 Changes
January 12, 2019🚀 0MQ version 4.3.1 stable, released on 2019/01/12
CVE-2019-6250: A vulnerability has been found that would allow attackers to direct a peer to
jump to and execute from an address indicated by the attacker.
🚀 This issue has been present since v4.2.0. Older releases are not affected.
NOTE: The attacker needs to know in advance valid addresses in the peer's
memory to jump to, so measures like ASLR are effective mitigations.
NOTE: this attack can only take place after authentication, so peers behind
CURVE/GSSAPI are not vulnerable to unauthenticated attackers.
👀 See #3351 for more details.
Thanks to Guido Vranken for uncovering the issue and providing the fix!📦 Note for packagers: as pkg-config's Requires.private is now used to properly
🏗 propagate dependencies for static builds, the libzmq*-dev or zeromq-devel or
📦 equivalent package should now depend on the libfoo-dev or foo-devel packages
of all the libraries that zmq is linked against, or pkg-config --libs libzmq
will fail due to missing dependencies on end users machines.🛠 Fixed #3351 - remote code execution vulnerability.
🛠 Fixed #3343 - race condition in ZMQ_PUSH when quickly disconnecting and
reconnecting causes last part of multi-part message to get
"stuck" and resent by mistake to the new socket.🛠 Fixed #3336 - set Requires.private in generate pkg-config file.
🛠 Fixed #3334 - set TCP_NODELAY after connect() on Windows for the I/O socket.
🛠 Fixed #3326 - assert on Android when opening a socket and disabling WiFi.
🛠 Fixed #3320 - build failure on OpenBSD with GCC.

November 28, 2018🚀 0MQ version 4.3.0 stable, released on 2018/11/28
The following DRAFT APIs have been marked as STABLE and will not change
anymore:- ZMQ_MSG_T_SIZE context option (see doc/zmq_ctx_get.txt)
- ZMQ_THREAD_AFFINITY_CPU_ADD and ZMQ_THREAD_AFFINITY_CPU_REMOVE (Posix only)
🚚 context options, to add/remove CPUs to the affinity set of the I/O threads.
See doc/zmq_ctx_set.txt and doc/zmq_ctx_get.txt for details. - ZMQ_THREAD_NAME_PREFIX (Posix only) context option, to add a specific
integer prefix to the background threads names, to easily identify them.
See doc/zmq_ctx_set.txt and doc/zmq_ctx_get.txt for details. - ZMQ_GSSAPI_PRINCIPAL_NAMETYPE and ZMQ_GSSAPI_SERVICE_PRINCIPAL_NAMETYPE
socket options, for the corresponding GSSAPI features. Additional
definitions for principal name types:- ZMQ_GSSAPI_NT_HOSTBASED
- ZMQ_GSSAPI_NT_USER_NAME
- ZMQ_GSSAPI_NT_KRB5_PRINCIPAL
👀 See doc/zmq_gssapi.txt for details.
- ZMQ_BINDTODEVICE socket option (Linux only), which will bind the
🐧 socket(s) to the specified interface. Allows to use Linux VRF, see:
📚 https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/vrf.txt
NOTE: requires the program to be ran as root OR with CAP_NET_RAW - zmq_timers_* APIs. These functions can be used for cross-platforms timed
👀 callbacks. See doc/zmq_timers.txt for details. - The following socket monitor events:
- ZMQ_EVENT_HANDSHAKE_FAILED_NO_DETAIL: unknown errors during handshake.
- ZMQ_EVENT_HANDSHAKE_SUCCEEDED: Handshake completed with authentication.
- ZMQ_EVENT_HANDSHAKE_FAILED_PROTOCOL: Protocol errors with peers or ZAP.

See doc/zmq_socket_monitor.txt for more details and error codes.
- zmq_stopwatch_intermediate which returns the time elapsed without stopping
the stopwatch. - zmq_proxy_steerable command 'STATISTICS' to retrieve stats about the amount
of messages and bytes sent and received by the proxy.
See doc/zmq_proxy_steerable.txt for more information.
🏗 The build-time configuration option to select the poller has been split, and
🆕 new API_POLLER (CMake) and --with-api-poller (autoconf) options will now
📊 determine what system call is used to implement the zmq_poll/zmq_poller APIs.
The previous POLLER and --with-poller options now only affects the
internal I/O thread. In case API_POLLER is not specified, the behaviour keeps
🚀 backward compatibility intact and will be the same as with previous releases.0️⃣ The non-default "poll" poller for the internal I/O thread (note: NOT for the
📊 zmq_poll/zmq_poller user APIs!) has been disabled on Windows as WSAPoll does
👀 not report connection failures. For more information see:- https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2012/10/10/wsapoll-is-broken/
- https://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2012-10/0038.html
- https://bugs.python.org/issue16507
🆕 New epoll implementation for Windows, using the following implementation:
https://github.com/piscisaureus/wepoll/tree/v1.5.4
👷 To use this, select "epoll" as the poller option in the build system.
Note for distributors: the wepoll source code is embedded and distributed.
It is licensed under the BSD-2-Clause and thus it is compatible with LGPL-3.0.
🏗 Note that, if selected at build time, the license text must be distributed
with the binary in accordance to the license terms. A copy can be found at:
external/wepoll/license.txt🗄 The pre-made Visual Studio solutions file are deprecated, and users are
encouraged to use the CMake solution generation feature instead.🆕 New DRAFT (see NEWS for 4.2.0) socket options:
- ZMQ_ROUTER_NOTIFY to deliver a notification when a peer connects and/or
disconnects in the form of a routing id plus a zero-length frame. - ZMQ_MULTICAST_LOOP to control whether the data sent should be looped back
on local listening sockets for UDP multicast sockets (ZMQ_RADIO).
See doc/zmq_setsockopt.txt and doc/zmq_getsockopt.txt for details.
New perf tool, perf/benchmark_radix_tree, to measure the performance of the
different internal implementations of the trie algorithm used to track
👍 subscriptions. Requires a compiler that supports C++11.🆕 New autoconf flag "--enable-force-CXX98-compat" which will force -std=gnu++98
👍 and, if the compiler supports them (clang++ at the moment), it will also add
-Wc++98-compat -Wc++98-compat-pedantic so that compatibility with C++98 can

v4.2.3 Changes
December 13, 2017🚀 0MQ version 4.2.3 stable, released on 2017/12/13
API change: previously ZMQ_POLLOUT on a ZMQ_ROUTER socket returned always
true due to how the type works. When ZMQ_ROUTER_MANDATORY is set, sending
fails when the peer is not available, but ZMQ_POLLOUT always returns true
anyway, which does not make sense. Now when ZMQ_ROUTER_MANDATORY is set,
ZMQ_POLLOUT on a ZMQ_ROUTER will return true only if at least one peer is
available.
Given ZMQ_POLLOUT with ZMQ_ROUTER was not usable at all previously, we do
not consider this a breakage warranting a major or minor version increase.ZMQ_IDENTITY has been renamed to ZMQ_ROUTING_ID and ZMQ_CONNECT_RID has been
renamed to ZMQ_CONNTECT_ROUTING_ID to disambiguate. ZMQ_IDENTITY and
ZMQ_CONNECT_RID are still available to keep backward compatibility, and will
🚀 be removed in a future release after further advance notice.DRAFT API change: zmq_poller_wait, zmq_poller_wait_all and zmq_poller_poll
⏱ have been changed to be inline with other existing APIs that have a timeout
to return EAGAIN instead of ETIMEDOUT as the errno value.
👀 See #2713 for details.Existing non-DRAFT socket types ZMQ_REP/REQ, ZMQ_ROUTER/DEALER and
🗄 ZMQPUB/SUB, that were previously declared deprecated, have been reinstated
👀 as stable and supported. See #2699 for details.👍 Tweetnacl: add support for, and use preferably if available, getrandom() as
a simpler and less error-prone alternative to /dev/urandom on OSes where it
🐧 is available (eg: Linux 3.18 with glibc 2.25).🚚 Curve: all remaining traces of debug output to console are now removed, and
🆕 new DRAFT events are available to properly debug CURVE, PLAIN, GSSAPI and
👀 ZAP events and failures. See below for details on the new events.🆕 New DRAFT (see NEWS for 4.2.0) socket options:
- ZMQ_GSSAPI_PRINCIPAL_NAMETYPE and ZMQ_GSSAPI_SERVICE_PRINCIPAL_NAMETYPE, for
the corresponding GSSAPI features. Additional definitions for principal
name types:- ZMQ_GSSAPI_NT_HOSTBASED
- ZMQ_GSSAPI_NT_USER_NAME
- ZMQ_GSSAPI_NT_KRB5_PRINCIPAL
👀 See doc/zmq_gssapi.txt for details.
- ZMQ_BINDTODEVICE (Linux only), which will bind the socket(s) to the
🐧 specified interface. Allows to use Linux VRF, see:
📚 https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/vrf.txt
NOTE: requires the program to be ran as root OR with CAP_NET_RAW - ZMQ_ZAP_ENFORCE_DOMAIN, enables strict RFC 27 compatibility mode and makes
🔒 the ZAP Domain mandatory when using security. See:
https://rfc.zeromq.org/spec:27/ZAP
See doc/zmq_setsockopt.txt and doc/zmq_getsockopt.txt for details.
🆕 New DRAFT (see NEWS for 4.2.0) context options:
- ZMQ_THREAD_AFFINITY_CPU_ADD and ZMQ_THREAD_AFFINITY_CPU_REMOVE (Posix only),
🚚 to add and remove CPUs to the affinity set of the I/O threads. Useful to pin
the background threads to specific CPUs. - ZMQ_THREAD_NAME_PREFIX (Posix only), to add a specific integer prefix to the
background threads names, to easily identify them for debugging purposes.
See doc/zmq_ctx_set.txt and doc/zmq_ctx_get.txt for details.
🆕 New DRAFT (see NEWS for 4.2.0) message property name definitions to facilitate
the use of zmq_msg_gets:- ZMQ_MSG_PROPERTY_ROUTING_ID
- ZMQ_MSG_PROPERTY_SOCKET_TYPE
- ZMQ_MSG_PROPERTY_USER_ID
- ZMQ_MSG_PROPERTY_PEER_ADDRESS
See doc/zmq_msg_gets.txt for details.
New DRAFT (see NEWS for 4.2.0) API zmq_socket_get_peer_state, to be used to
query the state of a specific peer (via routing-id) of a ZMQ_ROUTER socket.🆕 New DRAFT (see NEWS for 4.2.0) Socket Monitor events:
- ZMQ_EVENT_HANDSHAKE_FAILED_NO_DETAIL, unknown system error and returns errno
- ZMQ_EVENT_HANDSHAKE_SUCCEEDED, handshake was successful
- ZMQ_EVENT_HANDSHAKE_FAILED_PROTOCOL, protocol errors between peers or server
and ZAP handler. Returns one of ZMQ_PROTOCOL_ERROR_* - see manpage for list - ZMQ_EVENT_HANDSHAKE_FAILED_AUTH, failed authentication, returns ZAP status
🔒 These events trigger when the ZMTP security mechanism handshake is
completed or failed. See doc/zmq_socket_monitor.txt for more information.
New DRAFT (see NEWS for 4.2.0) zmq_proxy_steerable command 'STATISTICS' to
retrieve stats about the amount of messages and bytes sent and received by
the proxy. See doc/zmq_proxy_steerable.txt for more information.➕ Add new autoconf --disable-libunwind option to stop building with libunwind
even if it is available.➕ Add new autoconf --disable-Werror option to avoid building with the Werror
flag.🏗 Use pkg-config as the first method for finding and building with external
optional dependencies such as libnorm, libpgm and gssapi.On Posix platform where the feature is available, name the ZMQ background
threads to simplify debugging: "ZMQbg/<num_thread>"Improve performance of zmq_poller_* (and zmq_poll and zmq_proxy when building
with DRAFT APIs enabled).🔨 The TCP unit tests have been refactored to bind and connect to random ports
✅ rather than hard-coded ones, to allow running tests in parallel.
There are 6 exceptions where it is necessary to use an hard-coded port to
✅ test specific code paths that would not be exercised when binding to a
✅ wildcard port. These are listed in tests/testutil.hpp so that distributions
can easily patch them if they wish to and so that they can be unique across
✅ all the tests, allowing parallel runs.
✅ The IPC unit tests have been changed as well to use unique socket file names
✅ per test, where before there were some clashes.🛠 Fixed #2349 - fix building with libsodium when using CMake
