13While release 4.4.2b1 is primarily a maintenance release that addresses a number
14of defects, it does introduce a few new features:
15
e4b6b033
TM
16- Keama - Keama is a migration utility that assists in converting ISC DHCP
17 server configuration files to Kea configuration files. It is found in the
18 keama subdirectory and includes a README.md file with instructions on how
19 to build it as well as a manpage on its usage.
82e0ea57
TM
20
21- Two new server parameters related to ping checking were added:
22
e4b6b033
TM
231. ping-cltt-secs which allows the user to specify the number of seconds
24 that must elapse since CLTT before a ping check is conducted.
82e0ea57 25
e4b6b033
TM
262. ping-timeout-ms which allows the user to specify the amount of time the
27 server waits for a ping-check response in milliseconds rather than in
28 seconds.
82e0ea57
TM
29
30In general, the areas of focus for ISC DHCP 4.4 were:
397599cb
TM
31
321. Dynamic DNS additions
332. dhclient improvements
343. Support for dynamic shared libraries
35
36Dynamic DNS Improvements:
37
38- We added three new server configuration parameters which influence DDNS
39 conflict resolution:
40
41 1. ddns-dual-stack-mixed-mode - alters DNS conflict resolution behavior
42 to mitigate issues with non-compliant clients in dual stack environments.
43
44 2. ddns-guard-id-must-match - relaxes the DHCID RR client id matching
45 requirement of DNS conflict resolution.
46
47 3. ddns-other-guard-is-dynamic - alters dual-stack-mixed-mode behavior to
48 allow unguarded DNS entries to be overwritten in certain cases
49
50- The server now honors update-static-leases parameter for static DHCPv6
51 hosts.
52
53dhclient Improvements:
54
a804fcc0 55 - We've added three command line parameters to dhclient:
397599cb
TM
56
57 1. --prefix-len-hint - directs dhclient to use the given length as
58 the prefix length hint when requesting prefixes
59
a804fcc0 60 2. --decline-wait-time - instructs the client to wait the given number
397599cb
TM
61 of seconds after declining an IPv4 address before issuing a discover
62
a804fcc0
TM
63 3. --address-prefix-len - specifies the prefix length passed by dhclient
64 into the client script (via the environment variable ip6_prefixlen) with
65 each IPv6 address. We added this parameter because we have changed the
66 default value from 64 to 128 in order to be compliant with RFC3315bis
67 draft (-09, page 64) and RFC5942, Section 4, point 1.
68 **WARNING**: The new default value of 128 may not be backwardly compatible
69 with your environment. If you are operating without a router, such as
7932503f 70 between VMs on a host, you may find they cannot see each other with prefix
a804fcc0
TM
71 length of 128. In such cases, you'll need to either provide routing or use
72 the command line parameter to set the value to 64. Alternatively you may
73 change the default at compile time by setting DHCLIENT_DEFAULT_PREFIX_LEN
74 in includes/site.h.
75
397599cb
TM
76 - dhclient will now generate a DHCPv6 DECLINE message when the client script
77 indicates a DAD failure
78
79Dynamic shared library support:
80
81 Configure script, configure.ac+lt, which supports libtool is now provided
82 with the source tar ball. This script can be used to configure ISC DHCP
9de870cc 83 to build with libtool and thus use dynamic shared libraries.
4ff4053b 84
4aa6129a
TM
85Other Highlights:
86
87 - The server now supports dhcp-cache-threshold for DHCPv6 operations
88 - The server now supports DHPv6 address allocation based on EUI-64 DUIDs
89 - Experimental support for alternate relay port in the both the server
90 and relay for IPv4, IPv6 and 4o6 (see: draft-ietf-dhc-relay-port-10.txt)

106
4ad524bd 107 Changes since 4.4.2b1 (Bug Fixes)
e4b6b033
TM
108
109- Added a clarification on DHCPINFORMs and server authority to
110 dhcpd.conf.5
111 [Gitlab #37]
112
5c23b618
TM
113- Only emit lease scrubbing log messages when DEBUG_FAILOVER_MESSAGES
114 is defined.
115 [Gitlab #72]
116
4ad524bd
TM
117- Added the interface name to socket initialization failure log messages.
118 Prior to this the log messages stated only the error reason without
119 stating the target interface.
120 [Gitlab #75]
121
cce04313 122 Changes since 4.4.1 (New Features)
a5b21e16
TM
123
124- A new configuration parameter, ping-cltt-secs (v4 operation only), has
125 been added to allow the user to specify the number of seconds that must
126 elapse since CLTT before a ping check is conducted. Prior to this, the
0cd94b5e 127 value was hard coded at 60 seconds. Please see the server man pages for
a5b21e16
TM
128 a more detailed discussion.
129 [ISC-Bugs #36283]
cce04313 130
cb89a691
TM
131- A new configuration parameter, ping-timeout-ms (v4 operation only),
132 has been added that allows the user to specify the amount of time
133 the server waits for a ping-check response in milliseconds rather
134 than in seconds (via ping-timeout). When greater than zero, the value
135 of ping-timeout-ms will override the value of ping-timeout. Thanks
136 to Jay Doran from Bluecat Networks for suggesting this feature.
0cd94b5e 137 [Gitlab #10]
cb89a691 138
2ca63671
TM
139- An experimental tool called, Keama (KEA Migration Assistant), which helps
140 translate ISC DHCP configurations to Kea configurations, is now included
141 in the distribution.
142 [Gitlab #34]
143
cce04313
TM
144 Changes since 4.4.1 (Bug Fixes)
145
146- Corrected a misuse of the BIND9 DDNS API which caused DDNS updates to be
147 carried out over TCP rather than UDP. The coding error was exposed by
148 migration to BIND9 9.11. Thanks to Jinmei Tatuya at Infoblox for
149 reporting the issue.
150 [ISC-Bugs #47757]
151
c07eb442
TM
152- Bind9 now defaults to requiring python to build. The Makefile for
153 building Bind9 when bundled with ISC DHCP was modified to turn off
154 this dependency.
0cd94b5e 155 [Gitlab #3]
9ef78585
TM
156
157- Corrected a dual-stack mixed-mode issue that occurs when both
158 ddns-guard-id-must-match and ddns-other-guard-is-dynamic
159 are enabled and that caused the server to incorrectly interpret
160 the presence of a guard record belonging to another client as
161 a case of no guard record at all. Thanks to Fernando Soto
162 from BlueCat Networks for reporting this issue.
0cd94b5e 163 [Gitlab #1]
c07eb442 164
1c779d3b
TM
165- Corrected a compilation issue that occurred when building without DNS
166 update ability (e.g. by undefining NSUPDATE).
0cd94b5e 167 [Gitlab #16]
1c779d3b 168
fce94f06
TM
169- Corrected an issue that was causing the server, when running in
170 DHPCv4 mode, to segfault when class lease limits are reached.
dfcbe359
TM
171 Thanks to Peter Nagy at Porion-Digital for reporting the matter
172 and submitting a patch.
0cd94b5e 173 [Gitlab #13]
fce94f06 174
753d458b 175- Made minor changes to eliminate warnings when compiled with GCC 9.
71277027 176 Thanks to Brett Neumeier for bringing the matter to our attention.
0cd94b5e
TM
177 [Gitlab #15]
178
179- Fixed potential memory leaks in parser error message generation
180 spotted by Coverity, CIDs: 1448191, 1448193, 1448194, 1448195
181 [Gitlab #30]
182
183- Updated URL of IEEE oui.txt in contrib/dhcp-lease-list.pl. Thanks
184 to Tommy Smith for contributing the patch.
185 [Gitlab #26]
186
187- Fixed define flags when using SO_BINDTODEVICE. Thanks to Joe LeVeque for
188 reporting the issue.
189 [GitLab #19]
190
191- Applied a patch from OpenBSD to always set the scope id of outbound
192 DHPCv6 packets. Note this change only applies when compiling under
193 OpenBSD. Thanks to Brad Smith at OpenBSD from bringing it to our
194 attention.
195 [Gitlab #33]
196
197- Modified dhclient to not discard config file leases that are
198 duplicates of server-provided leases and to retain such leases
199 after they have been used as the fallback active lease and
200 DHCP service has been restored. This allows them to be used
82e0ea57 201 more than once during the lifetime of a dhclient instance.
0cd94b5e
TM
202 This applies to DHCPv4 operation only.
203 [Gitlab #9]
204
205- Corrected a number of reference counter and zero-length buffer leaks.
206 [Gitlab #57]
207
208- Closed a small window of time between the installation of graceful
209 shutdown signal handlers and application context startup, during which
210 the receipt of shutdown signal would cause a REQUIRE() assertion to
211 occur. Note this issue is only visible when compiling with
212 ENABLE_GENTLE_SHUTDOWN defined.
213 [Gitlab #53]
214
215- Corrected a buffer overflow that can occur when retrieving zone
216 names that are more than 255 characters in length.
217 [Gitlab #20]
218
219- The "d" domain name option format was incorrectly handled as text
220 instead of RFC 1035 wire format. Thanks to Jay Doran at BlueCat Networks
221 for reporting this issue.
222 [Gitlab #2]
223
224- Improved the error message issued when a host declaration has both
225 a uid and a dhcp-client-identifier. Server configuration parsing will
226 now fail if a host declaration specifies more than one uid.
227 [Gitlab #7]
753d458b 228
4adcee93
TM
229- Updated developer's documentation on building and running unit tests.
230 Removed support for --with-atf=bind as BIND9 no longer bundles in ATF
231 source.
232 [Gitlab #35]
233
83175640
TM
234- Fixed a syntax error in ldap.c which cropped up under Ubuntu
235 18.04.1/gcc 7.4.0. Thanks to Charles Hedrick for pointing it out.
236 [Gitlab #51]
237
2661204d
TM
238- Added clarification to dhcp-options.5 section on ip-address values
239 describing the first-use DNS resolution of options with hostnames as
240 values (e.g. next-server).
241 [Gitlab #28]
242
9a2f9db5
TM
243- The option format for the server option omapi-key was changed to a
244 format type 'k' (key name); while server options ldap-port and
245 ldap-init-retry were changed to 'L' (unsigned 32-bit integer). These
246 three options were inadvertantly broken when the 'd' format content
247 was changed to comply with RFC 1035 wire format (see Gitlab #2).
248 [Gitlab #68]
249
cce04313
TM
250 Changes since 4.4.0 (New Features)
251- none
cce04313 252 Changes since 4.4.0 (Bug Fixes)
6826003b
TM
253
254- A delayed-ack value of 0 (the default), now correctly disables the delayed
255 feature. A change in 4.4.0 prohibited lease updates marking leases active
256 from be written to the lease file when delayed-ack is 0. This in turn,
257 caused servers to lose active lease assignments upon restart.
258 [ISC-Bugs #47141]
259
197b26f2
TM
260! Option reference count was not correctly decremented in error path
261 when parsing buffer for options. Reported by Felix Wilhelm, Google
262 Security Team.
263 [ISC-Bugs #47140]
c5931725
TM
264 CVE: CVE-2018-5733
265
266! Corrected an issue where large sized 'X/x' format options were causing
267 option handling logic to overwrite memory when expanding them to human
268 readable form. Reported by Felix Wilhelm, Google Security Team.
269 [ISC-Bugs #47139]
270 CVE: CVE-2018-5732
197b26f2 271
d5118758
TM
272- Added use of new Bind9 compatibility header files, that are now necessary
273 to supply type definitions for primitive data types, removed from Bind9
274 proper. Altered util/bind.sh to pull from Bind9 repo on gitlab.
275 [ISC-Bugs #48072]
276 [ISC-Bugs #48071]
277
d394b602
TM
278 Changes since 4.4.0b1 (New Features)
279
280- Duplicate address detection when binding to a new IPv6 address was added
281 to the following dhclient scripts: linux,freebsd,netbsd,openbsd, and macos.
282 The scripts will check for DAD errors after binding to a new IPv6 address
283 for at most --dad-wait-time seconds. If a DAD error is detected the script
284 will exit with a value of 3, instructing dhclient to decline the address. If
285 dad-wait-time is zero (the default), DAD error checking is not peformed.
286 [ISC-Bugs 46805]
287
efd3b1e2
TM
288- Support for sending and receiving additional DHCP4 options has been added
289 to both the dhcpd and dhclient. Specifically: option codes 93,94, and 97
290 (RFC 4578); code 150 (RFC 5859); and codes 209,219, and 211 (RFC 5071).
291 Beyond configuring, sending, requesting, and receiving these options neither
292 server nor client apply any additional logic based on their values.
293 Thanks to Peter Lewis for requesting this change.
294 [ISC-Bugs 47062]
295
d638452e
TM
296 Changes since 4.4.0b1 (Bug Fixes)
297
298- Added clarifying text to dhcpd.conf.5 explaining the class match expressions
299 cannot rely on the results of executable statements.
300 [ISC-Bugs #45451]
301
db4e4aa2
TM
302- Fixed a bug which causes dhcpd and dhclient to crash on certain
303 systems when given relative path names for lease or pid files on
304 the command line. Affected systems are those on which the C library
305 function, realpath() does not support a second parameter value of
306 NULL (see manpages for realpath(3)).
307 [ISC-Bugs #46957]
308
b94669fa
TM
309- Fixed a build issue when building with embedded BIND9 under OpenBSD that
310 was causing BIND9 build to not generate dns/enumclass.h and dns/enumtype.h.
311 [ISC-Bugs #46971]
312
de964f22
TM
313- Added <dhcp>/m4/README to the distribution tarball. Some versions of
314 ac_local() treat the absence of the m4 subdirectory as error rather than
315 warning. This was causing the call to autoreconf, necessary for building
316 with libtool, to fail.
317 [ISC-Bugs #47075]
318
4aa6129a 319 Changes since 4.4.0a1 (New Features)
7512d88b 320
4aa6129a
TM
321- Added experimental support for relay port (draft-ietf-dhc-relay-port-10.txt)
322 feature for DHCPv4, DHCPv6 and DHCPv4-over-DHCPv6. Relay port has to be
323 enabled at compile time via --enable-relay-port and is fully backward
324 compatible (i.e. works with previous implementations of servers and relays
325 using the standard ports). A new --rp <relay-port> command line option
326 specifies to dhcrelay an alternate source port for upstream (i.e. toward
327 the server) messages. Thanks to Naiming Shen and Enke Chen of Cisco
328 systems for submitting these patches.
329 [ISC-Bugs #44535]
330
331- Added --release-on-roam to dhcpd server. When enabled and the server detects
332 that a DHCPv6 client (IAID+DUID) has roamed to a new network, it will release
333 the pre-existing leases on the old network and emit a log statement similar
334 to the following:
335
336 "Client: <id> roamed to new network, releasing lease: <address>"
337
338 The server will carry out all of the same steps that would normally occur
339 when a client explicitly releases a lease. This behavior is disabled by
340 default and may only be specified globally. Prior to this the server renders
341 the leases unavailable until they expire or the server is restarted. Clients
342 that need leases in multiple networks must supply a unique IAID in each IA.
343 When release-on-roam is disabled (the default) the server maintains the
344 prior behavior of making such leases unavailable until they expire or the
345 server is restarted. Clients that need leases in multiple networks must
346 supply a unique IAID in each IA. This parameter may only be specified at
347 the global level. Thanks to Fernando Soto from BlueCat Networks for
348 suggesting this change.
349 [ISC-Bugs #44576]
350 [ISC-Bugs #46849]
351
352- Support for delayed-ack is now compiled in by default. Prior to this
353 it had to be enabled at compile time via --enable-delayed-acks. The
354 default value for delayed-ack, however, has been changed from 28 to 0
355 (i.e. disabled). This was done to minimize the impact on users not
356 currently using the feature. Please note that the delayed-ack feature
357 is not currently compatible with support for DHPCv4-over-DHCPv6 so
358 when a 4to6 port command line argument enables this in the server the
359 delayed-ack value is reset to 0.
360 [ISC-Bugs #42446]
361
362- The server (-6) now honors the parameter, update-static-leases, for static
363 (fixed-address6) DHCPv6 leases. It is worth noting that because stateful
364 data is not retained by the server for static leases, each time a client
365 requests or renews a static lease, the server will perform DDNS updates for
366 it. This may have significant performance implications for environments
367 with many clients that request or renew static leases often. Similarly,
368 the DNS entries will not be removed by server when a client issues a RELEASE
369 nor if the lease is deleted from the configuration. In such cases the DNS
370 entries must be removed manually. This feature is disabled by default.
371 Thanks to both Bill Shirley and dgutier-at-cern-dot-ch for requesting
372 this change.
373 [ISC-Bugs #34097]
374 [ISC-Bugs #41054]
375 [ISC-Bugs #41450]
376
377- Added to the server (-6) a new statement, local-address6, which specifies
378 the source address of packets sent by the server. An additional flag,
379 bind-local-address6, disabled by default, binds the service socket to
380 to local-address6. Note that bind-local-address does not work with direct
381 clients: a relay has to forward packets to the server using the
382 local-address6 destination.
383 [ISC-Bugs #46084]
384
385 Changes since 4.4.0a1 (Bugs)
386
387- The server now recognizes environment variables PATH_DHCPD_DB and
388 PATH_DHCPD_PID. These had been incorrectly compiled out of the code
389 unless DHCPv6 support was disabled. Additionally, the server man
390 pages were corrected to accurately reflect how the server chooses
391 file names (see lease-file-name and pid-file-name statements). Thanks
7932503f
TM
392 to Fernando Soto at Bluecat Networks for bringing this matter to our
393 attention.
4aa6129a
TM
394 [ISC-Bugs #46859]
395
396- Removed an "Impossible condition" error upon exit in the dhcpd server that
397 has been shutdown via OMAPI. This condition was only apparent under Solaris
398 when building with --enable-use-sockets and --enable-ipv4-pktinfo.
399 [ISC-Bugs #36118]
400
65eed5c1 401- Corrected some minor Coverity issues: CID 1426059, 1426058, and 1426057.
4aa6129a
TM
402 [ISC-Bugs #46836]
403
404- Added missing text to dhclient.8 and expanded release note coverage
405 for --address-prefix-len changes.
7512d88b 406
0e76cb91 407 Changes since 4.3.6 (New Features)
3210786b 408
f9741514
FD
409- Added --enable-bind-install to install embedded bind includes and
410 libraries. Default is to not install them (it was the previous
411 behavior). If you'd like to change the includedir and/or libdir
5a67b030
FD
412 installation directories to something different than for ISC DHCP
413 you must pass them using the --with-bind-extra-config configuration
414 arguments.
f9741514
FD
415 [ISC-Bugs #39318]
416
007ba82a
FD
417- Added support of dynamic shared libraries with libtool. A new
418 --enable-libtool configuration parameter is available but
419 should not be used directly: *please* read the build configuration
420 section in the README file for the recommended procedure.
421 [ISC-Bugs #29402]
422
417b7b4a
TM
423- IPv6 operation now supports an EUI-64 based address allocation which will
424 calculate addresses for clients with EUI-64 DUIDs based on those DUIDs when
425 enabled by setting use-eui-64 true. The parameter may defined down to the
426 pool scope. Note this feature must be compiled in by defining EUI_64 in
427 includes/site.h. This flag is undefined by default.
428 [ISC-Bugs #43927]
429
b3e6fd51
TM
430- The directory includes/isc-dhcp and it's only occupant, dst.h, have
431 been removed from the source tree. They are obsolete for branches
432 other than v4_1_esv.
433 [ISC-bugs #45541]
434
7512d88b
TM
435- Replaced ISC licensing with Mozilla Public License, MPL 2.0 licensing
436 throughout. Please see https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/MPL/2.0/ to read
437 the MPL 2.0 license terms.

440- Load balancing for failover peers can now be disabled by setting
441 "load balance max secs" to 0. Doing so for both peers means both
442 servers will respond to all DHCPDISCOVERs or DHCPREQUESTs as soon as
443 they are received.

456- dhclient will now wait for 10 seconds after declining an IPv4 address
457 before issuing a discover. This is in keeping with RFC 2131, section 3.1.5.
458 Prior to this dhclient did not wait at all. The amount of time dhclient
459 waits can be specified via a new command line parameter:
460 --decline-wait-time <seconds>. A value of zero equates to no wait at all.

471- When given the -T command line argument, in addition to reading the
472 current lease file, the server will write the leases to a temporary
473 lease file. This can help detect issues in server configuration that
474 only surface when leases are written to the file. The current lease
475 file will not be modified and the temporary lease file is removed upon
476 completion of the test.

479- dhclient will now generate a DHCPv6 DECLINE message containing all IA_NA
480 addresses which for which the client script indicates a DAD failure. After
481 receiving the DECLINE reply, dhclient will restart the solicit process.
482 Note, the client script must exit with a value of 3 to signify that the
483 address failed DAD. Thanks to Jiri Popelka of Red Hat for submitting the

490- Replaced compilation option, enable-secs-byteorder, with a run-time, server
491 configuration parameter, check-secs-byte-order. When enabled, the
492 server will check for clients that do the byte ordering on the secs field
493 incorrectly. This field should be in network byte order but some clients
494 get it wrong. When this parameter is enabled the server will examine the
495 secs field and if it looks wrong (high byte non zero and low byte zero) swap
496 the bytes. The default is disabled. This parameter is only useful when
497 doing load balancing within failover.

500- The default value for server (-6) parameter, prefix-length-mode, has been
501 changed from "exact" to "prefer". In "prefer" mode the server will offer
502 the first available prefix with the same length as that requested by the
503 client. If none are found then it will offer the first available prefix of
504 any length. This is more in line with with RFC 8168 and should improve
505 the out-of-the-box user experience.

TM
509- Added support for 'dhcp-cache-threshold' to IPv6 operation: If a client
510 renews before 'dhcp-cache-threshold' percent of its lease has elapsed
511 (default 25%), the server will reuse the allocated lease (provide a
512 lease within the currently allocated lease-time) rather than extend or
513 renew the lease. This allows the server to reply without needlessly
514 writing leases to disk. The preferred and valid lease lifetimes
515 sent to the client will be reduced by the age of the lease. The option
516 may be specified down to the pool level and is supported for all three
517 pool types: NA, TA, and PD.

534 allow the specification of the key algorithm to use during transaction
535 authentication. Prior to this it was hard-coded to be hmac-md5. It now
536 supports all of the same algorithms as the dhcpd server: hmac-md5 (the
537 default), hmac-sha1, hmac-sha224, hmac-sha256, hmac-sha384, and hmac-sha512.

540- Added a server configuration parameter, persist-eui-64-leases, which

140612c8 545- Changed the default value of the prefix length passed by dhclient into the
a804fcc0

546 client script for each IPv6 address from 64 to 128. This was done to comply
547 with RFC3315bis draft (-09, page 64) and RFC5942, Section 4, point 1.
548 In addition, dhclient now supports a command line argument,
549 --address-prefix-len, which may be used to override the default value.
550 **WARNING**: This change may not be backwardly compatible with your
551 environment. If you are operating without a router, such as between VMs on
552 a host, you may find they cannot see each with prefix length of 128. In
553 such cases, you'll need to either provide routing or use the command line
554 parameter to set the value to 64. Alternatively you may change the default
555 at compile time by setting DHCLIENT_DEFAULT_PREFIX_LEN in includes/site.h.

614- The server now allows the client identifier (option 61) to own leases
615 in more than one subnet concurrently. Prior to this the server would

695- Added --dad-wait-time parameter to dhclient. It specifies the maximum time,
696 in seconds, that the client process should wait for the duplicate address
697 detection to complete before initiating DHCP requests. This value is
698 propagated to the dhclient script and the script is responsible for waiting
699 the specified amount of time or until DAD has completed. If the script does
700 not support it, specifying this parameter has no effect. The default value
701 is 0 which specifies that the script should not wait for DAD. With this
702 change the following scripts have been modified to support the new parameter:
703 freebsd, linux, macos, netbsd, openbsd.

706- The server nows checks both the address and length of a prefix delegation
707 when attempting to match it to a prefix pool. This ensures the server
708 responds properly when pool configurations change such that once valid,
709 "in-pool" delegations are now treated as being invalid. During lease
710 file loading at startup, the server will discard any PD leases that
711 are deemed "out-of-pool" either by address or mis-matched prefix length.
712 Clients seeking to renew or rebind such leases will get a response of
713 No Binding in the case of the former, and the prefix delegation with
714 lifetimes set to zero in the case of the latter. Thanks to Mark Nejedlo

720 by dhclient only if and when the it first attempts an update; and never by
721 dhcrelay. Prior to this all three always did the initialization at startup

876- ISC DHCP now follows the common convention to use the base name a
877 program is invoked with (aka argv[0], vs. a builtin name) for

1085- The server now does a better check to see if it can allocate the memory
1086 for large blocks of v4 leases and should provide a slightly better error
1087 message. Note well: the server pre-allocates v4 addresses, if you use
1088 a large range, such as a /8, the server will attempt to use a large
1089 amount of memory and may not start if there either isn't enough memory
1090 or the size exceeds what the code supports.

1093- The server will now reject unicast Request, Renew, Decline, and Release
1094 messages from a client unless the server would have sent that client the
1095 dhcp6.unicast option. This behavior is in compliance with paragraph 1 in
1096 each of the sections 18.2,1, 18.2.3, 18.2.6, and 18.2.7 of RFC 3315. Prior
1097 to this, the server would simply accept the messages. Now, in order for
1098 the server to accept such a message, the server configuration must include
1099 the dhcp6.unicast option either globally or within the shared network to
1100 which the requested lease belongs. In other words, the server will map
1101 the first IA_XX address found within the client message to a shared-network
1102 and look for the presence of the unicast option there and then globally.

1171- Corrected an issue in v6 lease file parsing. Prior to this, when encountering
1172 a lease with an address for which no configured pool exists, the server was
1173 declaring the lease file corrupt and incorrectly skipping over the subsequent
1174 entry in the file. The server will now emit a log message indicating that
1175 no pool was found for the address (or prefix) and correctly resume parsing
1176 with the next entry in the lease file. Our thanks to Michal Žejdl for
1177 reporting the issue.
1178 [ISC-Bugs #39314]
1179
1180- Be more liberal in finding a subnet group associated with a static
1181 prefix. When we added the class matching code for v6 we also added
1182 a requirement that the static prefix must be within a subnet the
1183 client was in, in order to find the proper statements. We now
1184 look for a subnet based on the prefix, failing that on the static
1185 address for the client and failing that on the shared network
1186 itself.
1187 [ISC-Bugs #38329]
1188
1189- Add a new action expression "parse_vendor_options", which can be used
1190 to parse a vendor-encapsualted-option received by the server based on
1191 the encoding specified by the vendor-option-space statement.
1192 [ISC-Bugs #36449]

1199- Relax the requirement that prefix pools must be within the subnet.
1200 This was added in as part of #32453 in order to avoid configuration

1202 within the same subnet and many people configure them in that fashion.

1247- Corrected a compilation error introduced by the fix for ISC-Bugs #37415.
1248 The error occurs on Linux variants that do not support VLAN tag information
1249 in packet auxiliary data. The configure script now only enables inclusion
1250 of the VLAN tag-based logic if it is supported by the underlying OS.
1251 [ISC-Bugs #38677]
1252
1253 Changes since 4.3.2b1
1254
1255- Specifying the option, --disable-debug, on the configure script command line
1256 now disables debug features. Prior to this, specifying --disable-debug
1257 incorrectly enabled debug features. Thanks to Gustavo Zacarias for reporting
1258 the issue.
1259 [ISC-Bugs #37780]
1260
1261- Unit test execution now uses a path augmented during configuration
1262 processing of the --with-atf option to locate ATF runtime tools, atf-run
1263 and atf-report. For most installations of ATF, this should alleviate the
1264 need to manually include them in the PATH, as was formerly required.
1265 If the configure script cannot locate the tools it will emit a warning,
1266 informing the user that the tools must be in the PATH when running unit
1267 tests.
1268 Secondly, please note that "make check" will now exit with a failure status
1269 code (non-zero) if one or more unit tests fail. This means that invoking
1270 "make check" from an upper level directory will cause the make process to
1271 STOP after the first test subdirectory with failed test(s). To force all
1272 tests in all subdirectories to run, regardless of individual test outcome,
1273 use the command "make -k check".
1274 [ISC-Bugs #38619]
1275
1276 Changes since 4.3.1
1277
1278- Corrected parser's right brace matching when a statement contains an error.
1279 [ISC-Bugs #36021]
1280
1281- TSIG-authenticated dynamic DNS updates now support the use of these
1282 additional algorithms: hmac-sha1, hmac-sha224, hmac-sha256, hmac-sha384,
1283 and hmac-sha512
1284 [ISC-Bugs #36947]
1285
1286- Added check for invalid failover message type. Thanks to Tobias Stoeckmann
1287 working with the OpenBSD project who spotted the issue and provided the
1288 patch.
1289 [ISC-Bugs #36653]
1290
1291- Corrected rate limiting checks for bad packet logging. Thanks to Tobias
1292 Stoeckmann working with the OpenBSD project who spotted the issue and
1293 provided the patch.
1294 [ISC-Bugs #36897]
1295
1296- Log statements depicting what files will be used by the server now occur
1297 after the configuration file has been processed.
1298 [ISC-Bugs #36671]
1299
1300- Addressed Coverity issues reported as of 07-31-2014:
1301 [ISC-Bugs #36712] Corrects Coverity reported "high" impact issues.
1302 [ISC-Bugs #36933] Corrects Coverity reported "medium" impact issues
1303 [ISC-Bugs #37708] Fixes compilation error in dst_api.c seen in older
1304 compilers that was introduced by #36712
1305
1306- Server now supports a failover split value of 256.
1307 [ISC-Bugs] #36664]
1308
1309- Remove unneeded error #defines. These defines were included in case
1310 external programs required the older versions of the macro. They
1311 have been #ifdeffed for now and will be removed at a future date.
1312 See site.h for the #define to include them again, but you should
1313 switch to using the DHCP_R_* versions instead of the ISC_R_* versions.
1314 Also ISC_R_MULTIPLE has been removed as it is also defined in bind.
1315 [ISC-Bugs #37128]
1316
1317- Added checks in range6 and prefix6 statement parsing to ensure addresses
1318 are within the declared subnet. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the
1319 bug report and patch.
1320 [ISC-Bugs #32453]
1321 [ISC-Bugs #17766]
1322 [ISC-Bugs #18510]
1323 [ISC-Bugs #23698]
1324 [ISC-Bugs #28883]
1325
1326- Addressed checksum issues:
1327 Added checksum readiness check to Linux packet filtering which eliminates
1328 invalid packet drops due to checksum errors when checksum offloading is
1329 in use. Based on dhcp-4.2.2-xen-checksum.patch made to the Fedora project.
1330 [ISC-Bugs #22806]
1331 [ISC-Bugs #15902]
1332 [ISC-Bugs #17739]
1333 [ISC-Bugs #18010]
1334 [ISC-Bugs #22556]
1335 [ISC-Bugs #29769]
1336 Inbound packets with UDP checksums of 0xffff now validate correctly rather
1337 than being dropped.
1338 [ISC-Bugs #24216]
1339 [ISC-Bugs #25587]
1340
1341- Added the echo-client-id configuration parameter to the server configuration.
1342 The server now supports RFC 6842 compliant behavior by setting a new
1343 configuration parameter, echo-client-id. When enabled, the server will
1344 include the client identifier option (Option code 61) if received, in its
1345 responses. The server identifier returned in NAKs (if enabled) will now
1346 be the globally defined value (if one) if the server cannot attribute the
1347 inbound request to a known subnet.
1348 [ISC-Bugs #35958]
1349 [ISC-Bugs #32545]
1350
1351- Added support of the configuration parameter, use-host-decl-names, to
1352 BOOTP request handling.
1353 [ISC-Bugs #36233]
1354
1355- Added logic to ignore the signal, SIGPIPE, which ensures write failures
1356 will be delivered as errors rather than as SIGPIPE signals on all OSs.
1357 Thanks to Marius Tomaschewski from SUSE who reported the issue and provided
1358 the patch upon which the fix is based.
1359 [ISC-Bugs #32222]
1360
1361- In the failover code, handle the case of communications being interrupted
1362 when the servers are dealing with POTENTIAL-CONFLICT. This patch allows
1363 the primary to accept the secondary moving from POTENTIAL-CONFLICT to
1364 RESOLUTION-INTERRUPTED as well as handling the bind update process better.
1365 In addition the code to resend update or update all requests has been
1366 modified to send requests more often.
1367 [ISC-Bugs #36810]
1368 [ISC-Bugs #20352]
1369
1370- By default, the server will now choose the value to use in the forward DNS
1371 name from the following in order of preference:
1372
1373 1. FQDN option if provided by the client
1374 2. Host name option if provided by the client
1375 3. Configured option host-name if defined
1376
1377 As before, this may be overridden by defining ddns-hostname to the desired
1378 value (or expression). In addition, the server logic has been extended to
1379 use the value of the host name declaration if use-host-decl-names is enabled
1380 and no other value is available.
1381 [ISC-Bugs #21323]
1382
1383- DNS updates were being attempted when dhcp-cache-threshold enabled the use of
1384 the existing lease and the forward DNS name had not changed. This has been
1385 corrected.
1386 [ISC-Bugs #37368]
1387 [ISC-Bugs #38636]
1388
1389- Corrected an issue which caused dhclient to incorrectly form the result when
1390 prepending or appending to the IPv4 domain-search option, received from the
1391 server, when either of the values being combined contain compressed
1392 components.
1393 [ISC-Bugs #20558]
1394
1395- Added the server-id-check parameter to the server configuration.
1396 This parameter allows run-time control over whether or not a server,
1397 participating in failover, verifies the dhcp-server-identifier option in
1398 DHCP REQUESTs against the server's id before processing the request.
1399 Formerly, enabling this behavior was done at compilation time through
1400 the use of the #define, SERVER_ID_CHECK, which has been removed from site.h
1401 The functionality is now only available through the new runtime parameter.
1402 [ISC-Bugs #37551]
1403
1404- During startup, when the server encounters a lease whose binding state is
1405 FTS_BACKUP but whose pool has no configured failover peer, it will reset the
1406 lease's binding state to FTS_FREE. This allows the leases to be reclaimed
1407 by the server after a pool's configuration has changed from failover to
1408 standalone. Prior to this such leases would remain stuck in the backup state
1409 making them unavailable for assignment. Note this conversion will occur
1410 whether or not the server is compiled for failover.
1411 [ISC-Bugs #36960]
1412
1413- Fixed a small issue in the treatment of hosts in the inform processing
1414 that could cause the response to an inform to include information from
1415 the wrong scope. The two examples we've heard of are getting subnet
1416 instead of group information associated with a host entry, or getting
1417 global information instead of subnet if the host entry was built via
1418 omapi. Thanks to Julien Soula at University of Lille for finding the
1419 bug and supplying a patch.
1420 [ISC-Bugs #35712]
1421
1422- Avoid calling pool_timer() recursively from supersede_lease(). This could
1423 result in leases changing state incorrectly or delaying the running of the
1424 leae expiration code.
1425 [ISC-Bugs #38002]
1426
1427- Move the check for a PID file and process to be before we rewrite the
1428 lease file. This avoids the possibility of starting a second instance
1429 of a server which changes the current lease file confusing the first
1430 instance. This check is only included if the admin hasn't disabled PID
1431 files.
1432 [ISC-Bugs #38078]
1433 [ISC-Bugs #38143]
1434
1435- In the client code change the way preferred_life and max_life are printed
1436 for environment variables to be unsigned rather than signed.
1437 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the bug report and patch.
1438 [ISC-Bugs #37084]
1439
1440- Modified Linux packet handling such that packets received via VLAN are now
1441 seen only by the VLAN interface. Prior to this, such packets were seen by
1442 both the VLAN interface and its parent (physical) interface, causing the
1443 server to respond to both. Note this remains an issue for non-Linux OSs.
1444 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the patch.
1445 [ISC-Bugs #37415]
1446 [ISC-Bugs #37133]
1447 [ISC-Bugs #36668]
1448 [ISC-Bugs #36652]
1449
1450- Log content has been changed to more directly suggest that admins should
1451 check for multiple IPv6 clients attempting to use the same DUID when only
1452 abandoned addresses are available. Debug level logging will now emit counts
1453 of the total number of, in-use, and abandoned addresses in a shared subnet
1454 when the server finds no addresses available for a given DUID. Lastly,
1455 threshold logging is now automatically disabled for shared subnets whose
1456 total number of possible addresses exceeds (2^64)-1.
1457 [ISC-Bugs #26376]
1458 [ISC-Bugs #38131]
1459
1460- Added a global parameter, prefix-length-mode, which may be used to determine
1461 how the server uses a non-zero value for prefix-length supplied by clients
1462 when soliciting DHCPv6 prefixes. The server supports selection modes of:
1463 ignore, prefer, exact, minimum and maximum which are described in detail in
1464 the server man pages. The prior behavior of the server was to only offer a
1465 prefix whose length exactly matched the prefix-length value requested. If
1466 no such prefixes were available, the server returned a status of none
1467 available. Note the default mode, "exact", provides this same behavior.
1468 [ISC-Bugs #36780]
1469 [ISC-Bugs #32228]
1470
1471- Corrected inconsistencies in dhcrelay's setting the upper interface hop count
1472 limit such that it now sets it to 32 when the upstream address is a multicast
1473 address per RFC 3315 Section 20. Prior to this if the -u argument preceded
1474 the -l argument on the command line or if the same interface was specified
1475 for both; the logic to set the hop limit count for the upper interface was
1476 skipped. This caused the hop count limit to be set to the default value
1477 (typically 1) in the outbound upstream packets.
1478 [ISC-Bugs #37426]
1479
1480 Changes since 4.3.1b1
1481
1482- Modify the linux and openwrt dhclient scripts to process information
1483 from a stateless request. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the
1484 bug report and patch.

1487- Remove more unused RCSID tags. These weren't noticed in 4.3 as
1488 the code isn't used anymore but we remove them here to keep the
1489 code consistent across versions.

1579- Add a #define to specify the prefix length used when a client attempts
1580 to configure an address. This can be modified by editing includes/site.h.
1581 By default it is set to 64. While 128 might be a better choice it would
1582 also be a change for currently running systems, so we have left it at 64.
1583 [ISC-Bugs #DHCP-2]
9b7d458d 1584
0e76cb91
TM
1585- Add a run time option to the client "-df" to allow the administrator to
1586 point to a second lease file the client can search for a DUID. This can
1587 be used to allow a v4 and a v6 instance of the client to share a DUID.
1588 The second file will only be searched if there isn't a DUID in the main
1589 lease file and the DUID will be written out to the main lease file.

SR
1639
1640- If a client renews before 'dhcp-cache-threshold' percent of its lease
1641 has elapsed (default 25%), the server will reuse the allocated lease
1642 (provide a lease within the currently allocated lease-time) rather
1643 than extend or renew the lease. This absolves the server of needing
1644 to perform an fsync() operation on the lease database before reply,
1645 which improves performance. [ISC-Bugs #22228]
80778e94 1646 Updated this patch to support asynchronous DDNS. If the server is
adb95d23 1647 attempting to do DDNS on a lease it should be updated and written to
4809ef5c 1648 disk even if that wouldn't be necessary due to the thresholding.

1673
d7d9c0c7
SR
1674- Update the DDNS code to current standards and allow for sharing
1675 of DDNS entries between v4 and v6 clients. The new code is used
1676 if the ddns-update-style is set to "standard", the older code is
1677 still available if ddns-update-style is set to "interim". The
1678 oldest DDNS code "ad-hoc" has been removed. Thanks to Thomas Pegeot
1679 who submitted a patch for this issue. This patch is based on
1680 that work with some modifications.
64fb661c 1681 [ISC-Bugs #21139]
1534fff7 1682
cde11a4c
SR
1683- Add a configuration option to the server to suppress using fsync().
1684 Enabling this option will mean that fsync() is never called. This
1685 may provide better performance but there is also a risk that a lease
1686 will not be properly written to the disk after it has been issued
1687 to a client and before the server stops. Using this option is
1688 not recommended.
64fb661c 1689 [ISC-Bugs #34810]
cde11a4c 1690
f88446f1
SR
1691- Add some logging statements to indicate when the server is ready
1692 to serve. One statement is emitted after the server has finished
1693 reading its files and is about to enter the dispatch loop.
1694 This is "Server starting service.".
1695 The second is emitted when a server determines that both it and
1696 its failover peer are in the normal state.
1697 This is "failover peer <name>: Both servers normal."
64fb661c 1698 [ISC-Bugs #33208]
f88446f1 1699
619304cd
SR
1700- Add support for accessing options from v6 relays. The v6relay
1701 statement allows the administrator to choose which relay to
1702 use when searching for an option, see the dhcp-options man page
6b9c9f87
SR
1703 for a description. The host-identifier option has also been
1704 updated to support the use of relay options, see the dhcpd.conf
619304cd
SR
1705 man page for a description.

1707
e54ff84f 1708- When doing DDNS if there isn't an appropriate zone statement attempt
80778e94 1709 to find a reasonable nameserver via a DNS resolver. This restores
e54ff84f
SR
1710 some functionality that was lost in the transition to asynchronous
1711 DDNS. Due to the lack of security and increase in fragility of the
1712 system when using this feature we strongly recommend the use of
1713 appropriate zone statements rather than using this functionality.
1714 [ISC-Bugs #30461]
1715
61ef216b
SR
1716- Add support for specifying the address from which to send
1717 DDNS updates on the DHCP server. There are two new options
1718 "ddns-local-address4" and "ddns-local-address6" that each take
1719 one instance of their respective address types.
1720 [ISC-Bugs #34779]
4d079f0e 1721
38ee81bd
SR
1722- Add ignore-client-uids option in the server. This option causes
1723 the server to not record a client's uid in its lease. This
1724 violates the specification but may also be useful when a client
1725 can dual boot using different client ids but the same mac address.
6b9c9f87 1726 Thank you to Brian De Wolf at Cal Poly Pomona for the patch.

1734
fe2ac9e3
SR
1735- Extend the hardware expression to look into the lease structure
1736 for a hardware address if there is no packet. This allows the
1737 server to find the hardware address during on-expiry processing.

01a44a77 1744 Changes since 4.2.0 (bug fixes)
8ee352ee 1745
01a44a77
SR
1746- When using 'ignore client-updates;', the FQDN returned to the client
1747 is no longer truncated to one octet.
8ee352ee 1748
01a44a77 1749- Cleaned up an unused hardware address variable in nak_lease().
4889a646 1750
01a44a77
SR
1751- Manpage entries for the ia-pd and ia-prefix options were updated to
1752 reflect support for prefix delegation.
4889a646 1753
01a44a77 1754- Cleaned up some compiler warnings
7dc4e69c 1755
01a44a77
SR
1756- An optimization described in the failover protocol draft is now included,
1757 which permits a DHCP server operating in communications-interrupted state
1758 to 'rewind' a lease to the state most recently transmitted to its peer,
1759 greatly increasing a server's endurance in communications-interrupted.
1760 This is supported using a new 'rewind state' record on the dhcpd.leases
1761 entry for each lease.
c5bc8b1a 1762
01a44a77 1763- Fix the trace code which was broken by the changes to the DDNS code.
d0a10f6a 1764
01a44a77
SR
1765- Update the fsync code to work with the changes to the DDNS code. It now
1766 uses a timer instead of noticing if there are no more packets to process.
dc9d7b08 1767
01a44a77
SR
1768- When constructing the DNS name structure from a text string append
1769 the root to relative names. This satisfies a requirement in the DNS
1770 library that names be absolute instead of relative and prevents DHCP
1771 from crashing. [ISC-Bugs #21054]
a24b9f23 1772
01a44a77
SR
1773- "The LDAP Patch" that has been circulating for some time, written by
1774 Brian Masney and S.Kalyanasundraram and maintained for application to
1775 the DHCP-4 sources by David Cantrell has been included. Please be
1776 advised that these sources were contributed, and do not yet meet the
1777 high standards we place on production sources we include by default.
1778 As a result, the LDAP features are only included by using a compile-time
1779 option which defaults off, and if you enable it you do so under your
1780 own recognizance. We will be improving this software over time.

cc17cbc3 1785
01a44a77
SR
1786! Accept a client id of length 0 while hashing. Previously the server would
1787 exit if it attempted to hash a zero length client id, providing attackers
1788 with a simple denial of service attack. [ISC-Bugs #21253]

08b2d347 1792
01a44a77
SR
1793- Modify the exception handling for initial context creation. Previously
1794 we would try and clean up before exiting. This could present problems
1795 when the cleanup required part of the context that wasn't available. It
1796 also didn't do much as we exited afterwards anyway. Now we simply log
1797 the error and exit. [ISC-Bugs #21093]
ad4001ce 1798
01a44a77
SR
1799- A bug was fixed that could cause the DHCPv6 server to advertise/assign a
1800 previously allocated (active) lease to a client that has changed subnets,
1801 despite being on different shared networks. Dynamic prefixes specifically
1802 allocated in shared networks also now are not offered if the client has
1803 moved. [ISC-Bugs #21152]
3cb6f9bb 1804

SR
1807- Fix the trace code to handle timing events better and to truncate a file
1808 before using instead of overwriting it. [ISC-Bugs #20969]

01a44a77
SR
1810- Modify the determination of the default TTL to use for DDNS updates.
1811 The user may still configure the ttl via ddns-ttl. The default for
1812 both v4 and v6 is now 1/2 the (preferred) lease time with a limit. The
1813 previous defaults (1/2 lease time without a limit for v4 and a default
1814 value for v6) may be used by defining USE_OLD_DDNS_TTL in site.h

1838- 'get-host-names true;' now also works even if 'use-host-decl-names true;'
1839 was also configured. The nature of this repair also fixes another
1840 error; the host-name supplied by a client is no longer overridden by a
1841 reverse lookup of the lease address. Thanks to a patch from Wilco Baan

01a44a77
SR
1928- Handle pipe failures more gracefully. Some OSes pass a SIGPIPE
1929 signal to a process and will kill the process if the signal isn't
1930 caught. This patch adds code to turn off the SIGPIPE signal via
1931 a setsockopt() call. The signal is already being ignored as part
1932 of the ISC library. [ISC-Bugs #22269]

SR
1934- Restore printing of values in omshell to the style pre 21585. For
1935 21585 we changed the print routines to always display time values
1936 as a hex list. This had a side effect of printing all data strings
1937 as a hex list. We shall investigate other ways of displaying time
1938 values more usefully. [ISC-Bugs #22626]

9a111ee8 2019 implement a 'SHOULD' direction in section 4.1. The goal of this change
73c83820 2020 is to start up faster. [ISC-Bugs #19660]
9a111ee8
TM
2021
2022- Added 'initial-delay' parameter that specifies maximum amount of time
2023 before client goes to the INIT state. The default value is 0. In previous
2024 versions of the code client could wait up to 5 seconds. The old behavior
5d082abd 2025 may be restored by using 'initial-delay 5;' in the client config file.
73c83820 2026 [ISC-Bugs #19660]
5d082abd
TM
2027
2028- ICMP ping-check should now sit closer to precisely the number of seconds
2029 configured (or default 1), due to making use of the new microsecond
2030 scale timer internally to dhcpd. This corrects a bug where the server
2031 may immediately timeout an ICMP ping-check if it was made late in the
73c83820 2032 current second. [ISC-Bugs #19660]
5d082abd
TM
2033
2034- The DHCP client will schedule renewal and rebinding events in
2035 microseconds if the DHCP server provided a lease-time that would result
2036 in sub-1-second timers. This corrects a bug where a 2-second or lower
2037 lease-time would cause the DHCP client to enter an infinite loop by
73c83820 2038 scheduling renewal at zero seconds. [ISC-Bugs #19660]
5d082abd
TM
2039
2040- Client lease records are recorded at most once every 15 seconds. This
2041 keeps the client from filling the lease database disk quickly on very small
73c83820 2042 lease times. [ISC-Bugs #19660]
5d082abd
TM
2043
2044- To defend against RFC 2131 non-compliant DHCP servers which fail to
2045 advertise a lease-time (either mangled, or zero in value) the DHCP
2046 client now adds the server to the reject list ACL and returns to INIT
2047 state to hopefully find an RFC 2131 compliant server (or retry in INIT
73c83820 2048 forever). [ISC-Bugs #19660]

2049
2050- Parameters configured to evaluate from user defined function calls can
2051 now be correctly written to dhcpd.leases (as on 'on events' or dynamic
2052 host records inserted via OMAPI). [ISC-Bugs #22266]
2053
2054- If a 'next-server' parameter is configured in a dynamic host record via
2055 OMAPI as a domain name, the syntax written to disk is now correctly parsed
2056 upon restart. [ISC-Bugs #22266]
656b1ece
TM
2057
2058- The DHCP server now responds to DHCPLEASEQUERY messages from agents using
2059 IP addresses not covered by a subnet in configuration. Whether or not to
2060 respond to such an agent is still governed by the 'allow leasequery;'
2061 configuration parameter, in the case of an agent not covered by a configured
2062 subnet the root configuration area is examined. Server now also returns
2063 vendor-class-id option, if client sent it. [ISC-Bugs #21094]

2282! Previously the server code was relaxed to allow packets with zero
2283 length client ids to be processed. Under some situations use of
2284 zero length client ids can cause the server to go into an infinite
2285 loop. As such ids are not valid according to RFC 2132 section 9.14
2286 the server no longer accepts them. Client ids with a length of 1
2287 are also invalid but the server still accepts them in order to
2288 minimize disruption. The restriction will likely be tightened in
2289 the future to disallow ids with a length of 1.

2452- Failover port configuration can now be left to defaults (port 647) as
2453 described in the -12 revision of the Failover draft (and assigned by
4b97eaff 2454 IANA). Thanks in part to a patch from David Cantrell at Red Hat.

2457 rather than using a broadcast address. Thanks to a patch from David
2458 Cantrell at Red Hat.

PS
2463- Added client -D option to specify DUID type to send.
2464
9e3eb22a
DH
2465- A new failover configuration parameter has been introduced for those
2466 environments where DHCP servers can be reasonably guaranteed to be
2467 "down" when the failover TCP socket is severed, "auto-partner-down".
2468 This parameter is not generally safe, and by default is disabled, so
2469 please carefully review the documentation of this parameter in the
2470 dhcpd.conf(5) manpage before determining to use it yourself.
2471
33ea4622
DH
2472- Added a configuration function, 'gethostname()', which calls the system
2473 function of the same name and presents the results as a data expression.
2474 This function can be used to incorporate the system level hostname of
2475 the system the DHCP software is operating on in responses or queries (such
2476 as including a failover partner's hostname in a dhcp message or binding
2477 scope, or having a DHCP client send any system hostname in the host-name or
2478 FQDN options by default).
2479
5a671e87
DH
2480- The dhcp-renewal-time and dhcp-rebinding-time options may now be configured
2481 for DHCPv4 operation and used independently of the dhcp-lease-time
2482 calculations. Invalid renew and rebinding times (e.g., greater than the
2483 determined lease time) are omitted.
2484
adb95d23 2485- Processing the DHCP to DNS server transactions in an asynchronous fashion,
45adf35c 2486 the DHCP server or client can now continue with its processing while
98bf1607 2487 awaiting replies from the DNS server.

DH
2499- The notorious 'option <unknown> ... larger than buffer' log line,
2500 which is seen in some malformed DHCP client packets, was modified.
2501 It now logs the universe name, and does not log the length values
2502 (which are bogus corruption read from the packet anyway). It also
2503 carries a hopefully more useful explanation.

2505- Suppress spurious warnings from configure about --datarootdir

2508 and Request packets, if the dynamic range covering any requested addresses
2509 had been deleted from configuration.

SR
2511- Update the code to deal with GCC 4.3. This included two sets of changes.
2512 The first is to the configuration files to include the use of

2529 result in an erroneous error log message ('garbage in format string').
2530
f9453d21
DH
2531- A bug in DLPI packet transmission (Solaris, HP/UX) that caused the server
2532 to stop receiving packets is fixed. The same fix also means that the MAC
2533 address will no longer appear 'bogus' on DLPI-based systems.
2534
2535- A bug in select handling was discovered where the results of one select()
2536 call were discarded, causing the server to process the next select() call
2537 and use more system calls than required. This has been repaired - the
2538 sockets will be handled after the first return from select(), resulting in
2539 fewer system calls.
2540
a3dcc0b1
DH
2541- The update-conflict-detection feature would leave an FQDN updated without
2542 a DHCID (still currently implemented as a TXT RR). This would cause later
2543 expiration or release events to fail to remove the domain name. The feature
2544 now also inserts the client's up to date DHCID record, so records may safely
2545 be removed at expiration or release time. Thanks to a patch submitted by
2546 Christof Chen.
2547
95fd7038
DH
2548- Memory leak in the load_balance_mine() function is fixed. This would
2549 leak ~20-30 octets per DHCPDISCOVER packet while failover was in use
2550 and in normal state.
2551

2553 DEBUG #defines in includes/site.h.

PS
2555- Fixed Linux client script 'unary operator expected' errors with DHCPv6.

2558 to be double-quoted. Also allow server-provided hostname to
2559 override hostnames 'localhost' and '(none)'.

2561- Fixed failover reconnection retry code to continue to retry to reconnect
2562 rather than restarting the listener.

DH
2564- Compilation on Solaris with USE_SOCKETS defined in includes/site.h has
2565 been repaired. Other USE_ overrides should work better.
2566
2567- A check for the local flavor of IFNAMSIZ had a broken 'else' condition,
2568 that probably still resulted in the correct behaviour (but wouldn't use
2569 a larger defined value provided by the host OS).
2570
350576c5
DH
2571- Fixed a bug where an OMAPI socket disconnection message would not result
2572 in scheduling a failover reconnection, if the link had not negotiated a
2573 failover connect yet (e.g.: connection refused, asynch socket connect()
2574 timeouts).

2577 in failover state records.

8a4e543b
DH
2579! A stack overflow vulnerability was fixed in dhclient that could allow
2580 remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands as root on the system,
2581 or simply terminate the client, by providing an over-long subnet-mask
1b12d999 2582 option. CERT VU#410676 - CVE-2009-0692

2587- Versions 3.0.x syntax with multiple name->code option definitions is now
2588 supported. Note that, similarly to 3.0.x, for by-code lookups only the
2589 last option definition is used.

PS
2591- Fixed a bug where a time difference of greater than 60 seconds between a
2592 failover pair could cause the primary to crash on contact with the
2593 secondary. Thanks to a patch from Steinar Haug.

b8d45c67
DH
2598- Secondary servers in a failover pair will now perform ddns removals if
2599 they had performed ddns updates on a lease that is expiring, or was
2600 released through the primary. As part of the same fix, stale binding scopes
2601 will now be removed if a change in identity of a lease's active client is
2602 detected, rather than simply if a lease is noticed to have expired (which it
2603 may have expired without a failover server noticing in some situations).
2604
583c1c16
DH
2605- A patch supplied by David Cantrell at RedHat was applied that detects
2606 invalid calling parameters given to the ns_name_ntop() function.
2607 Specifically, it detects if the caller passed a pointer and size pair
2608 that causes the pointer to integer-wrap past zero.
2609
e4e3a2ab
DH
2610! Fixed a fenceposting bug when a client had two host records configured,
2611 one using 'uid' and the other using 'hardware ethernet'. CVE-2009-1892
95f5d38c 2612

2614 the existence of the linked signal handler before calling it.
2615
2267da84
DH
2616- Both host and subnet6 configuration groups are now included whether a
2617 fixed-address6 (DHCPv6) is in use or not. Host scoped configuration takes
2618 precedence. This fixes two bugs, one where host scoped configuration
2619 would not be included from a non-fixed-address6 host record, and the equal
2620 and opposite bug where subnet6 scoped configuration would not be used when
571c38b0 2621 over-riding values were not present in a matching fixed-address6 host
2267da84
DH
2622 configuration.

2624- ./configure now checks to ensure the intX_t and u_intX_t types are defined,
2625 correcting a compilation failure when using Sun's compiler.
2626
0493fdca
SR
2627- Modified the handling of a connection to avoid releasing the omapi io
2628 object for the connection while it is still in use. One symptom from
2629 this error was a segfault when a failover secondary attempted to connect
2630 to the failover primary if their clocks were not synchronized.
2631
95bba8b6
SR
2632- Clean up to allow compilation with gcc 2.95.4 on FreeBSD. Remove an
2633 extra semi-colon from common/dns.c and moved setting a variable to NULL
2634 in server/dhcpv6.c to allow the compiler to decide that the variable
9a111ee8 2635 was always properly set.

2654 and not by failover binding updates (taking on the peer's CLTT).

2662 This feature is simply too experimental for right now, and causes
2663 some problems to some failover installations. We will revisit this
2664 in future releases.
2665

DH
2672- DDNS removal routines were updated so that the DHCID is not removed until
2673 the client has been deprived of all A and AAAA records (not only the last
2674 one of either of those). This resolves a bug where dual stack clients
2675 would not be able to regain their names after either expiration event.

7d6180be
DH
2741- A bug in subnet6 parsing where options contained in subnet6 clauses would
2742 not be applied to clients addressed within that network was repaired.
2743
2744- When configuring a "subnet {}" or "subnet6 {}" without an explicit
2745 shared-network enclosing it, the DHCP software would synthesize a
2746 shared-network to contain the subnet. However, all configuration
2747 parameters within the subnet more intuitively belong "to any client
2748 on that interface", or rather the synthesized shared-network. So,
2749 when a shared-network is synthesized, it is used to contain the
2750 configuration present inside the subnet {} clause. This means that
2751 the configuration will be valid for all clients on that network, not
2752 just those addressed out of the stated subnet. If you intended the
2753 opposite, the workaround is to explicitly configure an empty
2754 shared-network.
2755
2756- A bug was fixed where Information-Request processing was not sourcing
2757 configured option values.
2758
2759- A warning was added since the DHCPv6 processing software does not yet
2760 support class statements.

2769

0674055a
FD
2799- Allocated interface IDs are better controlled ('u' bit set to zero,
2800 reserved IDs avoided).
2801
b51c785f
FD
2802- Unicast options are taken into account only for RENEWs.
2803
900405e9
FD
2804- NoAddrsAvail answers to SOLICITs are always ADVERTISEs even when a SOLICIT
2805 carries a rapid-commit option.
2806
96b620e5
FD
2807- Return in place of raise an impossible condition when one tries to release
2808 an empty active lease.
2809
be62cf06
FD
2810- Timer granularity is now 1/100s in the DHCPv6 client.
2811
01a54c17
EH
2812- The dhclient-script was updated to create a host route for the default
2813 gateway if the supplied subnet mask for an IPv4 address was a /32. This
2814 allows the client to work in 'captive' network environments, where the
2815 operator does not want clients to crosstalk directly.
2816
adb95d23 2817- MINUS tokens should be parsable again.
01a54c17
EH
2818
2819- Multiple (up to "delayed-ack x;" maximum) DHCPv4 packets are now queued and
2820 released in bursts after single fsync() events when the upper limit is
2821 reached or if the receiving sockets go dry. The practical upshot is
2822 that fsync-coupled server performance is now multiplicitively increased.
2823 The default delayed ack limit is 28. Thanks entirely to a patch from
2824 Christof Chen.
2825
2826 Changes since 4.0.0 (bug fixes)
2827
2828- DHCP now builds on AIX.
2829
2830- Exit with warning when DHCPv6-specific statements are used in the
2831 config file but -6 is not specified.
2832
2833- Fixed "--version" flag in dhcrelay
2834
2835- The 'min-secs' configuration parameter's log message has been updated to
2836 be more helpful.
2837
2838- The warning logged when an address range doesn't fit in the subnets
2839 they were declared has been updated to be more helpful and identify the
2840 typo in configuration that created the spanning addresses.
2841
2842- A bug in failover pool rebalancing that caused POOLREQ message ping-pongs
2843 was repaired.
2844
2845- A flaw in failover pool rebalancing that could cause POOLREQ messages to
2846 be sent outside of the min-balance/max-balance scheduled intervals has
2847 been repaired.
2848
2849- A cosmetic bug during potential-conflict recovery that caused the peer's
2850 'conflict-done' state message to be logged as 'unknown-state' has been
2851 repaired. It is now logged correctly.
2852
49f61135
DH
2853- A bug was fixed where the 'giaddr' may be used to find the client's subnet
2854 rather than its own 'ciaddr'.
2855
41d4652f
DH
2856- A log message was introduced to clarify the situation where a failover
2857 'address' parameter (the server's local address) did not resolve to an
2858 IPv4 address.
2859
2c9bf1f4
DH
2860- The minimum site code value was set to 224 in 3.1.0 to track RFC3942. This
2861 broke a lot of legacy site local configurations. The new code in place will
2862 track site local space minimum option codes and logs a warning to encourage
2863 updates and exploration of site local code migration problems. Option
2864 codes less than 128 in site local spaces remain inaccessible.
2865
2866- A possible relay agent option bug was repaired where random server
2867 initialization state may have been used to signal the relay agent
2868 information options sub-option code for the 'END' of the option space.
2869
cff9b78f
SK
2870- Fixes to allow code to compile and run on Solaris 9.
2871
c4d29896
SK
2872- Fixes to allow code to compile on Mac OS X Leopard (10.5).
2873
57fcb8d9
SK
2874- When server is configured with options that it overrides, a warning is
2875 issued when the configuration file is read, rather than at the time the
2876 option is overridden. This was important, because the warning was given
9a111ee8 2877 every time the option was overridden, which could create a lot of
57fcb8d9
SK
2878 unnecessary logging.
2879
219a65eb
DH
2880- Fixed a compilation problems on platforms that define a value for FDDI,
2881 which conflicts with a dhcp configuration syntax token by the same name.
2882
ffdf3c8c
DH
2883- When a failover server suspects it has encountered a peer running a
2884 version 3.0.x failover server, a warning that the failover wire protocol
2885 is incompatible is printed.
2886
2887- The failover server no longer issues a floating point error if it encounters
2888 a previously undefined option code.
2889
00a002fc
MA
2890- Fix startup error messages to report a missing "subnet6 declaration", rather
2891 than a missing "subnet declaration", when running as a DHCPv6 server.
2892
9a111ee8 2893- DHCPv6 client timestamp in DUID was based on the year 1970 rather
7e9f7a1b
FD
2894 than the year 2000.
2895
e2cfde76
FD
2896- Warn when attempting to use a hardware parameter in DHCPv6.
2897
cabdb9b1
FD
2898- DHCPv6 released resources are now marked as released by the client.
2899
5d89d60f
FD
2900- 'Soft' bindings have no more side-effects.
2901
61d75ea2
DH
2902 Changes since 4.0.0b3
2903
2904- The reverse dns name for PTR updates on IPv6 addresses has been fixed to
2905 use ip6.arpa. rather than default to in-addr.arpa and require user
2906 configuration.
76db44f9 2907
e32529a5
EH
2908- dhc6_lease_destroy() and dhc6_ia_destroy() now set lease and IA pointers
2909 to NULL after freeing, to prevent subsequent accesses to freed memory.
2910
9a111ee8 2911- The DHCPv6 server would not send the preference option unless the
76db44f9
SK
2912 client requested it, via the ORO. This has been fixed, so the DHCPv6
2913 server will always send the preference value if it is configured.
e4a6be15 2914
9a111ee8
TM
2915- When addresses were passed as hints to the server in an IA, they were
2916 incorrectly handled, sometimes being treated as an error. Now the
6f76de58
SK
2917 server will treat these as hints and ignore them if it cannot supply
2918 a requested address.
2919
703873ab
DH
2920- If the client had multiple addresses, and one expired (was not renewed
2921 by the server), the client would continue to attempt to renew the same
2922 old address over and over. Now, the client will omit any expired
2923 addresses from future Confirm, Renew, or Rebind messages.
2924
2925- dhclient -6 will now select renew/rebind timers based upon the longest
2926 address expiration time rather than the shortest expiration time, in
2927 order to avoid cascading renewals in the event a server elects not to
2928 extend one of multiple IAADDR leases.
2929
b024480e
DH
2930- The server now limits clients that request multiple addresses to one
2931 address per IA by default, which can be adjusted through the
2932 "limit-addrs-per-ia" configuration option.
2933
c0216cb7
DH
2934- The DHCPv6 client now issues fresh transaction IDs on Renew and Rebind
2935 message exchanges, rather than using the most recent ID.
2936
1ac57173
FD
2937- The DHCPv6 server now replies to Information-Request messages.
2938
83835822
DH
2939- A bug was fixed in the dhclient-script for BSDs to correctly carry error
2940 codes through some conditions.
2941
c54db708
FD
2942- The parsing of some options in the dhclient lease file, in particular
2943 the success DHCPv6 status-code, was fixed.
2944
e5d83524
DH
2945- A bug was fixed that caused the DHCPv6 ORO option to be corrupted with
2946 seemingly random values.
2947
821f2dda
DH
2948- A reference overleak in DHCPv6 shared network processing was repaired.
2949
f8b3c6f4
DH
2950- ./configure now autodetects local database locations rather than trying
2951 to put dhcpd.leases and dhclient.leases in /usr/local/var/db, which no
2952 one ever has.
2953
9a111ee8
TM
2954- Regression fix for bug where server advertised a IPv6 address in
2955 response to a SOLICIT but would not return the address in response
b9137d42
SK
2956 to a REQUEST.
2957
9f1d5a2f
DH
2958- A bug was fixed where the DHCPv6 server puts the NoAddrsAvail status
2959 code in the IA_NA was fixed. The status code now appears in the root
2960 level.
2961
e4a6be15
DH
2962 Changes since 4.0.0b2
2963
65cf86d7
EH
2964- Clarified error message when lease limit exceeded
2965
b1d3778c
DH
2966- Relative time may now be used as a qualifier for 'allow' and 'deny' access
2967 control lists. These directives may be used to assist in re-addressing
2968 address pools without having to constantly reconfigure the server. Please
2969 see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more information on allow/deny 'after time' syntax.
2970 Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen.
2971
bead14ea
DH
2972- The server will now include multiple IA_NA's and multiple IAADDRs within
2973 them, if advertised by the client. It still only seeks to allocate one
2974 new address.
2975
f765ec36
SK
2976 Changes since 4.0.0b1
2977
75135a3f 2978- Use different paths for PID and lease files when running in DHCPv4
adb95d23 2979 or DHCPv6 mode, so that servers for both protocols can be run
75135a3f
EH
2980 simultaneously on a single interface.
2981
5c2d55c7
EH
2982- Fixed a buffer overflow error which could have allowed a denial
2983 of service under unusual server configurations
2984
2985- Eliminated a spurious error message from the client
2986
9a111ee8 2987- A number of bugs with the internal handling of lease state on the
f765ec36 2988 server have been fixed. Some of these could cause server crashes.
fa9b593d 2989
edb1283e
DH
2990- The peer_wants_leases() changes pulled up from 3.1.0 were corrected,
2991 'never used' leases will no longer consistently shift between servers
2992 on every pool rebalance run.
2993
c71c6399
DH
2994- sendmsg()/recvmsg() control buffers are now declared in such a way to
2995 ensure they are correctly aligned on all (esp. 64-bit) architectures.
2996
5279b8f3
DH
2997- The client leasing subsystem was streamlined and corrected to account
2998 more closely for changes in client link attachment selection.
2999
ab3a540f 3000 Changes since 4.0.0a3
763cba6b 3001
9a111ee8 3002- The DHCP server no longer requires a "ddns-update-style" statement,
884a458f
SK
3003 and now defaults to "none", which means DNS updates are disabled.
3004
fa9b593d
DH
3005- Log messages when failover peer names mismatch have been improved to
3006 point out the problem.
3007
9a111ee8 3008- Bug where server advertised a IPv6 address in response to a SOLICIT
1b5053b5
SK
3009 but would not return the address in response to a REQUEST. Thanks to
3010 Dennis Kou for finding the bug.
3011
c886c298
SK
3012- Fixed an error causing the server to lock up on lease expiration,
3013 reported independently by Jothilingam Vasu and Dennis Kou.
3014
eaf7eb17
DH
3015- Fixed a ./configure bug where compile tests were failing due to
3016 "-Werror" (unused variable) rather than the actual test failure. Lead
3017 to inconsistent and unworkable auto-configurations.
3018
109e00db
DH
3019- Compilation with DLPI and -Werror has been repaired.
3020
9a111ee8 3021- Error in decoding IA_NA option if multiple interfaces are present
3ad9d48f
SK
3022 fixed by Marcus Goller.
3023
8eab95f2
DH
3024- DHCPv6 server Confirm message processing has been enhanced - it no
3025 longer replies only to clients with host {} records, it now replies
3026 as directed in RFC3315 section 18.2.2 - that is, to all clients
3027 regardless of the existence of bindings.
3028
07b9a351
DH
3029- A core dump during expired lease cleanup has been repaired.
3030
7285af30
DH
3031- DDNS updates state information are now stored in 'binding scopes' that
3032 follow the leases through their lifecycles. This enables DDNS teardowns
3033 on leases that are assigned and expired inbetween a server restart (the
3034 state is recovered from dhcpd.leases). Arbitrary user-specified binding
3035 scopes ('set var = "value";') are not yet supported.
3036
2394b26b
DH
3037- Additional compilation problems on HP/UX have been repaired.

d00d373a
SK
3052- DHCPv6 is now the default. You can disable DHCPv6 support using the
3053 "--disable-dhcpv6" flag when you run the configure script.

8dfd5744
DH
3055- An internal database inconsistency bug was repaired where the server
3056 would segfault if a client attempted to renew a lease that had been
3057 loaded from persistent storage.
3058
45d545f0 3059- 'request' and 'also request' syntaxes have been added to accommodate
0c20eab3
DH
3060 the DHCPv6 client configuration. 'send dhcp6.oro' is no longer
3061 necessary.
3062
9a111ee8
TM
3063- Bug fixed where configuration file parsing did not work with
3064 zero-length options; this made it impossible to set the
f800f4f6
SK
3065 rapid-commit option.

3067- Bogus messages about host records with IPv4 fixed-addresses being of
3068 non-128-bits in length were removed.

3120- Corrected some situations where variables might be used without being
3121 initialized.
3122
3123- Silenced several other compiler warnings.
3124
3125- Include the more standard sys/uio.h rather than rely upon other
f66f02cc
DH
3126 header files to include it (fixes a BSD 4.2 compile failure).
3127
3128- Duplicate dhclient-script updates for DHCPv6 to all provided scripts.
a512d11b 3129
4ba58919
DH
3130- DHCPv4 I/O methods that failed to sense hardware address were corrected.
3131
3132- DHCPv4 is now the default (as documented) rather than DHCPv6. The default
3133 was set to DHCPv6 to facilitate ease early development, and forgotten.
3134
3135- Corrected a segmentation violation in DHCPv4 socket processing.
3136
8ea19a71 3137- dhclient will now fork() into the background once it binds to an
45d545f0 3138 IPv6 address, or immediately if the -n flag is supplied.
8ea19a71
DH
3139

3147- Replaced ./configure shellscripting with GNU Autoconf.
3148
98bd7ca0
DH
3149 Changes since 3.1.0 (NEW FEATURES)
3150
3151- DHCPv6 Client and Server protocol support. Use '-6' to run the daemons
3152 as v6-only. Use '-4' to run the daemons as v4-only (default. There is
3153 no support currently for both.
3154
3155- Server support for multiple IA_NA options, containing at most one
3156 IAADDR option.
3157
3158- Client support for one IA_NA option, containing any number of IAADDR
3159 options.
3160
3161- Server support for the DHCPv6 Information-request message.
3162
3163- Inappropriate unicast DHCPv6 messages sent to the server are now
3164 discarded, and this has rearchitected the IO system slightly.
3165
3166- The DHCPv6 server DUID defaults to type 1, is persistently stored in
3167 the leases database, and can be over-ridden (either completely, or by
3168 specifying type 1 or type 2).
3169
3170- The server only uses Rapid-Commit if it has been configured with the
3171 Rapid-Commit option and the client requests it.
3172
3173- DDNS support. We now update AAAA records in the same place we would
3174 update A records, if we have an IPv6 address. We also generate IP6.ARPA
3175 style names for PTR records if we're dealing with an IPv6 address. Both
3176 A and AAAA updates are done using the same 'fqdn.' virtual option space
3177 (although the DHCPv4 FQDN and DHCPv6 FQDN options are formatted
3178 differently, they both use the same code here).
3179
3180- The Linux dhclient-script attempts to set and remove assigned addresses,
3181 and to configure /etc/resolv.conf from nameserver and domain name
3182 configurations. It can be extended to configure other parameters.
3183
3184- Initial DHCPv6 lease support.
3185
3186- The IO system now tracks all local IP addresses, so that the DHCP
3187 applications (particularly the dhcrelay) can discern between what frames
3188 were transmitted to it, and what frames are being carried through it which
3189 it should not intercept.
3190
1418fd11
DH
3191 Changes since 3.1.0 (Maintenance)
3192
3193- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for virgin leases always
3194 mapped to the primary. Virgin leases now have an interleaved preference
3195 between primary and secondary.
3196
3197- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for clients with no client
3198 identifier was sometimes mishashed to the peer. Load balancing during
3199 runtime and pool rebalancing were opposing.
3200
aa3e348e
DH
3201- An assertion in lease counting relating to reserved leases was repaired.
3202
e9c59645
DH
3203- The subnet-mask option inclusion now conforms with RFC2132 section 3.3;
3204 it will only appear prior to the routers option if it is present on the
3205 Parameter-Request-List. The subnet-mask option will also only be
3206 included by default (if it is not on the PRL) in response to DISCOVER
3207 or REQUEST messages.
3208
3209- The FQDN option is only supplied if the client supplied an FQDN option or
3210 if the FQDN option was explicitly requested on the PRL.

3221- Failover rebalance events no longer play ping pong with round errors
3222 (moving leases between free and back to backup where there are an
3223 odd number of leases).
3224
3225- The 'pool' log line has been split into two messages, one before the
3226 rebalance run, and one after.
3227
3228- Any queued BNDACKs are transmitted before transmitting new BNDUPDs.
3229 This enforces the correct sequence of events for the remote server
3230 processing these messages.

fe5b0fdd 3232 Changes since 3.1.0b1
27837f95 3233
74dc3e0b
EH
3234- Fixed a bug that caused OMAPI clients to freeze when opening lease
3235 objects.
3236
1ba87b37
EH
3237- A new server config option "fqdn-reply" specifies whether the server
3238 should send out option 81 (FQDN). Defaults to "on". If set to "off",
3239 the FQDN option is not sent, even if the client requested it. This is
3240 needed because some clients misbehave otherwise. Thanks to Christof Chen
3241 at Allianz.
3242
a58da042
EH
3243- Allow trace output files (-tf option) to be overwritten, rather than
3244 crashing dhcpd if the file already exists
3245
61252edf
EH
3246- A bug was fixed that caused dhcpd to segfault if a pool was declared
3247 outside the scope of a subnet in dhcpd.conf.
3248
27837f95
DH
3249- Some uninitialized values were repaired in dhcpleasequery.c that
3250 caused the server to abort.
3251
4d2eaafb
DH
3252- A new server config option, 'do-reverse-updates', has been added
3253 which causes the server to abstain from performing updates on PTR
3254 records. Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen at Allianz.
3255
06211b40
DH
3256- A bug was repaired in subencapsulation support, where spaces separated
3257 by empty spaces would not get included.
3258
d6614ea2
DH
3259- A bug in dhclient was repaired which caused it to send parameter request
3260 lists of 55 bytes in length no matter how long the declared PRL was.
3261
132d38f2
DH
3262- 'dhcp.c(3953): non-null pointer' has been repaired. This fixes a flaw
3263 wherein the DHCPv4 server may ignore a configured server-identifier.
3264
fc3b9c90
DH
3265- A flaw in failover startup sequences was repaired that sometimes left
3266 the primary DHCP server's pool rebalance schedules unscheduled.
3267
c9feb859
DH
3268- Corrected a flaw that broke encapsulated spaces included due to presence
3269 on the parameter request list.
3270
c57db45c
SK
3271 Changes since 3.1.0a3
3272
3273- Some spelling fixes.
98311e4b 3274
bd2bc2fa
DH
3275 Changes since 3.1.0a2
3276
3277- A bug was fixed where attempting to permit leasequeries results in a
3278 fatal internal error, "Unable to find server option 49".
3279
85edef5c
DH
3280- A bug was fixed in dhclient rendering the textual output form of the
3281 domain-search option syntax.
3282
bdddcb7d
DH
3283 Changes since 3.1.0a1
3284
3285- A bug in the FQDN universe that added FQDN codes to the NWIP universe's
3286 hash table was repaired.
3287
616d67cb
DH
3288- The servers now try harder to transmit pending binding updates when
3289 entering normal state.
3290
3291- UPDREQ/UPDREQALL handling was optimized - it no longer dequeues and
3292 requeues all pending updates. This should reduce the number of spurious
66c8f734
DH
3293 'xid mismatch' log messages.
3294
3295- An option definition referencing leak was fixed, which resulted in early
3296 termination of dhclient upon the renewal event.
616d67cb 3297
6708d944
DH
3298- Some default hash table sizes were tweaked, some upwards, some downwards.
3299 3.1.0a1's tables resulted in a reduction in default server memory use.
3300 The new selected values provide more of a zero sum (increasing the size
3301 of tables likely to be populated, decreasing the size of tables unlikely).
3302
45d545f0 3303- Lease structures appear in three separate hashes: by IP address, by UID,
6708d944
DH
3304 and by hardware address. One type of table was used for all three, and
3305 improvements to IP address hashing were applied to all three (so UID and
3306 hardware addresses were treated like 4-byte integers). There are now two
3307 types of tables, and the uid/hw hashes use functions more appropriate
3308 to their needs.
3309
3310- The max-lease-misbalance percentage no longer causes scheduled rebalance
3311 runs to be skipped: it still governs the schedule, but every scheduled
3312 run will attempt balance.
3313
a7ee93fe
DH
3314- A segfault bug in recursive encapsulation support has been corrected.
3315
98311e4b
DH
3316 Changes since 3.0 (New Features)
3317
3318- A workaround for certain STSN servers that send a mangled domain-name
3319 option was introduced for dhclient. The client will now accept corrupted
3320 server responses, if they contain a valid DHCP_MESSAGE_TYPE (OFFER, ACK,
3321 or NAK). The server will continue to not accept corrupt client packets.
3322
98bd7ca0 3323- Support for 'reserved' (pseudo-static) and BOOTP leases via failover
a55ccdd0 3324 was introduced.
98311e4b
DH
3325
3326- Support for adding, removing, and managing class and subclass statements
3327 via OMAPI.
3328
a55ccdd0
DH
3329- The failover implementation was updated to comply with revision 12 of
3330 the protocol draft.
3331
98311e4b
DH
3332- 'make install' now creates the initial zero-length dhcpd.leases file if
3333 one does not already exist on the system.
3334
b43c87ad 3335- RFC3942 compliance, site-local option spaces start at 224 now, not 128.
b43c87ad 3336
0b17f049
DH
3337- The Load Balance Algorithm was misimplemented. The current implementation
3338 matches RFC 3074.
3339
2727c1cf
DH
3340- lcase() and ucase() configuration expressions have been added which adjust
3341 their arguments from upper to lower and lower to upper cases respectively.
2714a8ef 3342 Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
2727c1cf 3343
febbd402
DH
3344- The dhclient 'reject ...;' statement, which rejects leases given by named
3345 server-identifiers, now permits address ranges to be specified in CIDR
7d7073e7 3346 notation. Thanks to a patch from David Boyce.
febbd402 3347
ee912528
DH
3348- The subnet-mask option is now supplied by default, but at lowest
3349 priority. This helps a small minority of clients that provide parameter
3350 request lists, but do not list the subnet-mask option because they were
3351 designed to interoperate with a server that behaves in this manner.
3352
3353- The FQDN option is similarly supplied even if it does not appear on the
3354 parameter request list, but not to the exclusion of options that do
3355 appear at the parameter request list. Up until now it had ultimate
3356 priority over the client's parameter request list.
3357
f7fdb216 3358- Varying option space code and length bit widths (8/16/32) are now
51202707 3359 supported. This is a milestone in achieving RFC 3925 "VIVSO" and
f7fdb216
DH
3360 DHCPv6 support.
3361
5e864416
DH
3362- A new common (server or client) option, 'db-time-format local;', has
3363 been added which prints the local time in /var/db/dhcpd.leases rather
3364 than UTC. Thanks to a patch from Ken Lalonde.
3365
b500bd4c
DH
3366- Some patches to improve DHCP Server startup speed from Andrew Matheson
3367 have been incorporated.
3368
2426234f
DH
3369- Failover pairs now implement 'MAC Affinity' on leases moving from the
3370 active to free states. Leases that belonged to the failover secondary
3371 are moved to BACKUP state rather than FREE upon exiting EXPIRED state.
3372 If lease rebalancing must move leases, it tries first to move leases
3373 that belong to the peer in need.
3374
3375- The server no longer sends POOLREQ messages unless the pool is severely
3376 misbalanced in the peer's favor (see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more details).
3377
3378- Pool rebalance events no longer happen upon successfully allocating a
3379 lease. Instead, they happen on a schedule. See 'man dhcpd.conf' for the
3380 min-balance and max-balance statements for more information.
3381
334bf491
DH
3382- The DHCP Relay Agent Information Option / Link Selection Sub-Option
3383 is now supported. (See RFC3527 for details).
3384
3004bebf
DH
3385- A new DDNS related server option, update-conflict-detection, has been
3386 added. If this option is enabled, dhcpd will perform normal DHCID
3387 conflict resolution (the default). If this option is disabled, it will
3388 instead trust the assigned name implicitly (removing any other bindings
3389 on that name). This option has not been made available in dhclient.
3390
567e8561
DH
3391- In those cases where the DHCP software manufactures an IP header (to
3392 transmit via bpf, lpf, etc), the IP TTL the software selects has been
3393 increased from 16 to 128. This is intended to match Microsoft Windows
3394 DHCP Client behaviour, to increase compatibility.
3395
a396d25f
DH
3396- 'ignore client-updates;' now has behaviour that is different from
3397 'deny client-updates;'. The client's request is not truly ignored,
3398 rather it is encouraged. Should this value be configured, the server
3399 updates DNS as though client-updates were set to 'deny'. That is, it
3400 enters into DNS whatever it is configured to do already, provided it is
3401 configured to. Then it sends a response to the client that lets the
3402 client believe it is performing client updates (which it will), probably
3403 for a different name. In essence, this lets the client do as it will,
3404 ignoring this aspect of their request.
3405
dba5803b
DH
3406- Support for compressed 'domain name list' style DHCP option contents, and
3407 in particular the domain search option (#119) was added.
3408
41e45067 3409- The DHCP LEASEQUERY protocol as defined in RFC4388 is now implemented.
6d103865
SK
3410 LEASEQUERY lets you query the DHCP server for information about a lease,
3411 using either an IP address, MAC address, or client identifier. Thanks
3412 to a patch from Justin Haddad.
3413
41e45067
DH
3414- DHCPD is now RFC2131 section 4.1 compliant (broadcast to all-ones ip and
3415 ethernet mac address) on the SCO platform specifically without any strange
3416 ifconfig hacks. Many thanks go to the Kroger Co. for donating the
3417 hardware and funding the development.
6d103865 3418
b543fea9
DH
3419- A new common configuration executable statement, execute(), has been
3420 added. This permits dhcpd or dhclient to execute a named external
3421 program with command line arguments specified from other configuration
3422 language. Thanks to a patch written by Mattias Ronnblom, gotten to us
3423 via Robin Breathe.
3424
b22de500
DH
3425- A new dhcp server option 'adaptive-lease-time-threshold' has been added
3426 which causes the server to substantially reduce lease-times if there are
3427 few (configured percentage) remaining leases. Thanks to a patch submitted
3428 from Christof Chen.
3429
96bbe8c5
SK
3430- Encapsulated option spaces within encapsulated option spaces is now
3431 formally supported.
3432
b8221d95
DH
3433 Changes since 3.0.6rc1
3434
3435- supersede_lease() now requeues leases in their respective hardware
3436 address hash bucket. This mirrors client identifier behaviour.
3437
c1e6c832
DH
3438 Changes since 3.0.5
3439
f546c28b
DH
3440- Assorted fixes for broken network devices: Packet length is now
3441 determined from the IP header length field to finally calculate the
3442 UDP payload length, because some NIC drivers return more data than
5a22eb63 3443 they actually received.
f546c28b
DH
3444
3445- UDP packets are now stored in aligned data structures.
3446
c1e6c832
DH
3447- A logic error in omapi interface code was repaired that might result in
3448 incorrectly indicating 'up' state when any flags were set, rather than
23e10d37
DH
3449 specifically the INTERFACE_REQUESTED flag. Thanks to a patch from
3450 Jochen Voss which got to us via Andrew Pollock at Debian.
c1e6c832 3451
75ab3070
DH
3452- A reference leak on binding scopes set by ddns updates was repaired.
3453
d69fb6a8 3454- A memory leak in the minires_nsendsigned() function call was repaired.
23e10d37 3455 Effectively, this leaked ~176 bytes per DDNS update.
d69fb6a8 3456
02428754
DH
3457- In the case where an "L2" DHCP Relay Agent (one that does not set giaddr)
3458 was directly attached to the same broadcast domain as the DHCP server,
3459 the RFC3046 relay agent information option was not being returned to the
3460 relay in the server's replies. This was fixed; the dhcp server no longer
3461 requires the giaddr to reply with relay agent information. Note that
3462 this also improves compatibility with L2 devices that "intercept" DHCP
3463 packets and expect relay agent information even in unicast (renewal)
23e10d37
DH
3464 replies. Thanks to a patch from Pekka Silvonen.
3465
3466- A bug was fixed where the BOOTP header 'sname' field had a value, the
3467 copy written to persistent storage was actually the contents of the
3468 'file' field.
02428754 3469
ecde99a3
DH
3470- A bug was fixed where the nwip virtual option space was referencing
3471 the fqdn option's virtual option space's option cache.
3472
67674ffb
DH
3473- Timestamp parsing errors that indicated missing "minutes" fields rather
3474 than the actually missing "seconds" fields have been repaired thanks to
3475 a patch from Kevin Steves.
3476
830ebc4c
DH
3477- A grammar error in the dhclient.8 manpage was repaired thanks to a patch
3478 from Chris Wagner.
3479
c759db75
DH
3480- Several spelling typos were repaired, and some cross-references to other
3481 relevant documents were included in the manpages, thanks to a patch
3482 by Andrew Pollock which got to us via Tomas Pospisek.
3483
9aa3f3a5
DH
3484- Some bugs were fixed in the 'emergency relay agent options hologram'
3485 which is used to retain relay agent option contents from when the
3486 client was in INIT or REBIND states. This should solve problems where
3487 relay agent options were not echoed from the server, even when giaddr
3488 was set.
3489
3d0c598a
DH
3490- dhclient now closes its descriptor to dhclient.leases prior to executing
3491 dhclient-script. Thanks to a patch from Tomas Pospisek.
3492
d5b6835f
DH
3493- The server's "by client-id" and "by hardware address" hash table lists
3494 are now sorted according to the preference to re-allocate that lease to
3495 returning clients. This should eliminate pool starvation problems
3496 arising when "INIT" clients were given new leases rather than presently
3497 active ones.
3498
02428754 3499 Changes since 3.0.5rc1
0a73b7b6 3500
901306d5 3501- A bug was repaired in fixes to the dhclient, which sought to run the
0a73b7b6
SK
3502 dhclient-script with the 'EXPIRE' state should it receive a NAK in
3503 response to a REQUEST. The client now iterates the PREINIT state
3504 after the EXPIRE state, so that interfaces that might be configured
3505 'down' can be brought back 'up' and initialized.
3506
87a08ccc
DH
3507- DHCPINFORM handling for clients that properly set ciaddr and come to the
3508 server via a relay aget has been repaired.
3509
6da113fb
DH
3510 Changes since 3.0.4
3511
3512- A warning that host statements declared within subnet or shared-network
3513 scopes are actually global has been added.
3514
3515- The default minimum lease time (if min-lease-time was not specified)
3516 was raised from 0 to 300. 0 is not thought to be sensible, and is
3517 known to be damaging.
3518
3519- Added additional fatal error sanity checks surrounding lease binding
3520 state count calculations (free/active counts used for failover pool
3521 balancing).
3522
dcc557db
DH
3523- Some time value size fixes in 3.0.4 brought on from FreeBSD /usr/ports were
3524 misapplied to server values rather than client values. The server no longer
3525 advertises 8-byte lease-time options when on 64-bit platforms.
3526
1b2ab55f
DH
3527- A bug where leases not in ACTIVE state would get billed to billed classes
3528 (classes with lease limitations) was fixed. Non-active leases OFFERed
3529 to clients are no longer billed (but billing is checked before offering).
3530
e48891e8
DH
3531- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated in regard to the ddns-domainname
3532 configuration option - the default configuration and results should be
3533 more clear now.
3534
6cbc6629
DH
3535- If the dhclient were to receive a DHCPNAK while it was in the RENEW
3536 state (and consequently, had an active, 'bound' address and related
3537 configuration options), it would fail to 'tear down' this information
3538 before proceeding into INIT state. dhclient now iterates the dhclient-
3539 script with the 'EXPIRE' action to cause these teardowns prior to entering
1d3bfb17 3540 INIT state. Thanks to a patch from Chris Zimmerman.
6cbc6629 3541
c5fec5fa
DH
3542- The omapi.1 manpage had some formatting errors repaired thanks to a patch
3543 from Yoshihiko Sarumaru.
3544
33e1cb2b
DH
3545- A few lines of code that were failover-specific were moved within
3546 #if defined() clauses so that compilation without failover could be
3547 made possible.
3548
2bddf829
DH
3549- The log message emitted when the 'leased-address' value was not available
3550 in dhcpd.conf "executable statements" has been updated to be more helpful.
3551 Manpage information for this value has also been updated.
3552
87578987
DH
3553- Abandoned or dissociated (err condition) leases now remove any related
3554 dynamic dns bindings. Thanks to a patch from Patrick Schoo.
3555
e77c575f
DH
3556- Attempting to write a new lease file to replace a corrupt (due to
3557 encountering non-retryable errors during writing) lease file should
3558 no longer result in an infinite recursion.
3559
2178df03
DH
3560- Host declaration hardware addresses and client identifiers may only be
3561 configured once. dhcpd will now fail to load config files that specify
3562 multiple identifiers (previous versions would silently over-ride the
3563 value with the later configured value).
3564
d5341d9b
SK
3565- Several option codes that have been allocated since our last release
3566 have been named and documented.
3567
3568- Option names of the form "unknown-123" have been removed from the in-
3569 memory hash tables. In order to support options of these names that
3570 may appear in dhclient.leases or similar in previous versions, the
3571 parser will now find the new option code definition, or mock up a
3572 generic option code definition. This should result in a smooth
3573 transition from one name to the other, as the new name is used to
3574 write new output.
3575
6da113fb
DH
3576 Changes since 3.0.4rc1
3577
3578- The dhcp-options.5 manpage was updated to correct indentation errors
3579 thanks to a patch from Jean Delvare.
3580
3581 Changes since 3.0.4b3
3582
3583- Some manual pages were clarified pursuant to discussion on the dhcp-server
3584 mailing list.
3585
88cd8aca
DH
3586 Changes since 3.0.4b2
3587
45d545f0 3588- Null-termination sensing for certain clients that unfortunately require
88cd8aca
DH
3589 it in DHCPINFORM processing was repaired.
3590
3591- The host-name option and a few others were moved from "X" format to "t"
3592 format to be compatible with new NULL handling functions.
3593
3594- DHCPINFORM processing is a little more careful about return addressing
3595 its responses, or if responding via a relay. The INFORM related
3596 messages also log the 'effective client ip address' rather than the
3597 client's supplied ciaddr (since some clients produce null ciaddrs).
3598
3599- The server was inappropriately sending leases to the RESET state in the
3600 event that multiple active leases were found to match a singly-identified
3601 client. This was changed to RELEASED (by accepting a different, ACTIVE
3602 binding, the client is implicitly releasing its lease). This repairs a
3603 bug wherein secondary servers in failover pairs detecting this condition
3604 move leases to RESET, and primaries refuse to accept that state
3605 transition (properly).
3606
3607- The memset-after-dmalloc() changes made in 3.0.4b1 have been backed out.
3608
3609 Changes since 3.0.4b1
3610
3611- Command line parsing in omshell was repaired - it no longer closes
3612 STDIN after reading one line.
3613
3614- The resolver library no longer closes the /etc/resolv.conf file
3615 descriptor it opened twice.
3616
3617- Changes to trailing NULL removal in 't' option-atoms has been rethought,
3618 it now includes 'd' (domain name) types, and tries hard not to rewind an
3619 option beyond the start of the text field it is un-terminating.
3620
3621 Changes since 3.0.3
3622
3623- A DDNS update handling function was misusing the DNS error codes, rather
3624 than the internal generic result enumeration. The result is a confusing
3625 syslog line, logging the wrong condition.
3626
3627- The DHCP Server was not checking pool balance in the case where it brought
3628 a non-ACTIVE lease out of storage for a client that was returning to use
3629 a lease it once had long ago, and had since expired.
3630
3631- Failover peers no longer bother to look for free leases to allocate when
3632 they already found the client's ACTIVE lease. DISCOVERs are load balanced
98bd7ca0 3633 whether freely-allocated or not, unless the server doubts the peer has
88cd8aca
DH
3634 leases to allocate.
3635
3636- Fixed a bug in dhcrelay agent addition code that suppressed trailing
45d545f0 3637 PAD options - it was suppressing only one trailing PAD option, rather
88cd8aca
DH
3638 than the entire block of them.
3639
3a16098f
DH
3640! Fixed some unlikely overlapping-region memcpy() bugs in dhcrelay agent
3641 option addition and stripping code. Added a few sanity checks. Although
3642 highly improbable, due to requiring the reception of a DHCP datagram well
3643 in excess of all known to be used physical MTU limitations, it is possible
3644 this may have been used in a stack overflow security vulnerability. Thanks
3645 to a patch from infamous42md.
3646
3647! Added some sanity checks to OMAPI connection/authentication code.
3648 Although highly improbable, due to having to deliver in excess of 2^32
3649 bytes of data via the OMAPI channel, not to mention requiring dhcpd to
3650 be able to malloc() a memory region 2^32 bytes in size, it was possible
3651 this might have resulted in a heap overflow security vulnerability.
3652 Thanks to a patch from infamous42md.

3654- dmalloc() memset()'s the non-debug (data) portion of the allocated
3655 memory to zero. Code that memset()'s the result returned by dmalloc() to
3656 zero is redundant. These redundancies were removed.
3657
3658- Some type declaration corrections to u_int16_t were made in common/tr.c
4b97eaff 3659 (Token Ring support) thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.

3660
3661- A failover bug that was allowing leases that EXPIRED or were RELEASED
3662 where tsfp and tstp are identical timestamps to languish in these
3663 transitional states has been repaired. As a side effect, lease
3664 databases should be kept more consistent overall, not just for these
3665 transitional states.
3666
3667- If the lease db is deleted out from under the daemon, and it moves to rewrite
3668 the db, it will go ahead with the operation and move the new db into place
3669 once it detects the old db does not exist.
3670
3671- dhclient now ignores IRDA, SIT, and IEEE1394 network interfaces, as it
3672 is either nonsensical or (in the case of IEEE1394) is not known to support
3673 these interfaces. Thanks to Marius Gedminas and Andrew Pollock of Debian.
3674
3675- Some previously undocumented reasons for dhclient-script invoking has
45d545f0 3676 been documented in the dhclient-script.8 manpage.
88cd8aca
DH
3677
3678- Failover potential expiry calculations (TSTP) have been corrected. Results
3679 should be substantially more consistent, and proper given the constraints.
3680
3681- Adjusted lease state validation checks in potential-conflict, to
3682 account for possible clock skew similarly to normal state, and several
3683 previously illegal transitions were made legal (ex: active->released).
3684
3685- An impossible sanity check was removed from omapi/buffer.c, thanks to a
3686 patch from 'infamous42md'.
3687
3688- An OMAPI host/network byte order problem in lease time values has been
3689 repaired.
3690
3691- Several minor bugs, largely relating to treating 8-byte time values as
3692 4-byte entities, have been repaired after careful review of the FreeBSD
3693 ports collection's patch set. Thanks to the nameless entities who have
3694 contributed to the FreeBSD ports.
3695
3696- When writing a trace file, the file is now created with permissions 0600,
3697 to help administrators avoid accidentally publicising sensitive config
3698 data.
3699
3700- The calculation of the maximum size of DHCP packets no longer includes
3701 Ethernet framing overhead. The result is that the 'Maximum Message
3702 Size' option advertised by clients, or the default value 576, is no
3703 longer reduced by 14 bytes, and instead directly reflects the IP level
3704 MTU (and the default, minimum allowed IP MTU of 576).
3705
3706- The special status of RELEASED/EXPIRED/RESET leases when a server
3707 is operating in partner-down was fixed. It no longer requires a
3708 lease be twice the MCLT beyond STOS to 'reallocate', and the expiry
3709 event to turn these into FREE leases without peer acknowledgement
3710 (after STOS+MCLT) has been repaired.
3711
3712- Compilation on older Solaris systems (lacking /usr/include/sys/int_types.h)
3713 has been repaired.
3714
3715- "append"ing a string onto the end of a "t" type option (such as the
3716 domain-name field) that had been improperly NULL-terminated by the
3717 DHCP server will no longer result in a truncated string containing
3718 only the option from the server, and not the expected appended value.
4b97eaff 3719 Thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
88cd8aca
DH
3720
3721- File handlers on configuration state (config files and lease dbs) should
98bd7ca0 3722 be treated consistently, regardless of whether TRACING is defined or not.
88cd8aca 3723
45d545f0 3724- The Linux build environment has had some minor improvements - better
88cd8aca
DH
3725 sensing of 64-bit pointer sizes (only used for establishing an icmp_id),
3726 and corrections to #if operators regarding LINUX_MAJOR should it ever
3727 move to 3.[01].x.
3728
3729- The server now tries harder to survive the condition where it is unable
3730 to open a new lease file to rewrite the lease state database.

3732 Changes since 3.0.3b3
3733
3734- dhclient.conf documentation for interface {} was updated to reflect recent
3735 discussion on the dhcp-hackers mailing list.
3736
3737- In response to reports that the software does not compile on GCC 4.0.0,
3738 -Werror was removed from Makefile.conf for all platforms that used it.
3739 We will address the true problem in a future release; this is a temporary
3740 workaround.
3741
3742 Changes since 3.0.3b2
3743
3744- An error in code changes introduced in 3.0.3b2 was corrected, which caused
3745 static BOOTP clients to receive random addresses.
3746
3747 Changes since 3.0.3b1
3748
3749- A bug was fixed in BOOTPREQUEST handling code wherein stale references to
3750 host records would be left behind on leases that were not allocated to the
3751 client currently booting (eg in the case where the host was denied booting).
3752
3753- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated to be more clear in regards to
3754 multiple host declarations (thanks to Vincent McIntyre). 'Interim' style
3755 dynamic updates were also retouched.

DH
3757 Changes since 3.0.2
3758
3759- A bug was fixed where a server might load balance a DHCP REQUEST to its
45d545f0 3760 peer after already choosing not to load balance the preceding DISCOVER.
98311e4b
DH
3761 The peer cannot allocate the originating server's lease.
3762
3763- In the case where a secondary server lost its stable storage while the
3764 primary was still in communications-interrupted, and came back online,
3765 the lease databases would not be fully transferred to the secondary.
3766 This was due to the secondary errantly sending an extra UPDREQ message
3767 when the primary made its state transition to PARTNER-DOWN known.
3768
3769- The package will now compile cleanly in gcc 3.3 and 3.4. As a side effect,
3770 lease structures will be 9 bytes smaller on all platforms. Thanks to
4b97eaff 3771 Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3772
3773- Interface discovery code in DISCOVER_UNCONFIGURED mode is now
3774 properly restricted to only detecting broadcast interfaces. Thanks
4b97eaff 3775 to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3776
3777- decode_udp_ip_header was changed so that the IP address was copied out
3778 to a variable, rather than referenced by a pointer. This enforces 4-byte
3779 alignment of the 32-bit IP address value. Thanks to a patch from Dr.
3780 Peter Poeml.
3781
3782- An incorrect log message was corrected thanks to a patch from
3783 Dr. Peter Poeml.
3784
3785- A bug in DDNS was repaired, where if the server's first DDNS action was
3786 a DDNS removal rather than a DDNS update, the resolver library's
3787 retransmit timer and retry timer was set to the default, implying a
3788 15 second timeout interval. Which is a little excessive in a synchronous,
3789 single-threaded system. In all cases, ISC DHCP should now hold fast to
3790 a 1-second timeout, trying only once.
3791
3792- The siaddr field was being improperly set to the server-identifier when
3793 responding to DHCP messages. RFC2131 clarified the siaddr field as
3794 meaning the 'next server in the bootstrap process', eg a tftp server.
3795 The siaddr field is now left zeroed unless next-server is configured.
3796
3797- mockup_lease() could have returned in an error condition (or in the
3798 condition where no fixed-address was found matching the shared
3799 network) with stale references to a host record. This is probably not
3800 a memory leak since host records generally never die anyway.
3801
3802- A bug was repaired where failover servers would let stale client identifiers
3803 persist on leases that were reallocated to new clients not sending an id.
3804
3805- Binding scopes ("set var = value;") are now removed from leases allocated
3806 by failover peers if the lease had expired. This should help reduce the
3807 number of stale binding scopes on leases.
3808
3809- A small memory leak was closed involving client identifiers larger than
3810 7 bytes, and failover.
3811
3812- Configuring a subnet in dhcpd.conf with a subnet mask of 32 bits might
3813 cause an internal function to overflow heap. Thanks to Jason Vas Dias
4b97eaff 3814 at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3815
3816- Some inconsistencies in treating numbers that the lexer parsed as 'NUMBER'
3817 or 'NUMBER_OR_NAME' was repaired. Hexadecimal parsing is affected, and
3818 should work better.
3819
3820- In several cases, parse warnings were being issued before the lexical
3821 token had been advanced to the token whose value was causing an error...
3822 causing parse warnings to claim the problem is on the wrong token.
3823
3824- Host declarations matching on client identifier for dynamic leases will
3825 no longer match fixed-address host declarations (this is now identical
3826 to behaviour for host records matching on hardware address).
3827
3828 Changes since 3.0.2rc3
3829
3830- A previously undocumented configuration directive, 'local-address',
3831 was documented in the dhcpd.conf manpage.
3832
3833 Changes since 3.0.2rc2
3834
45d545f0 3835- Two variables introduced in 3.0.2b1 were used without being initialized
98311e4b
DH
3836 in the case where neither the FILE nor SNAME fields were available for
3837 overloading. This was repaired.
3838
3839- A heretofore believed to be impossible corner case of the option
3840 overloading implementation turned out to be possible ("Unable to sort
3841 overloaded options after 10 tries."). The implementation was reworked
3842 to consider the case of an option so large it would require more than
3843 three chunks to fit.
3844
3845- Many other instances of variables being used without being initialized
3846 were repaired.
3847
3848- An uninitialized variable in omapi_io_destroy() led to the discovery
3849 that this function may result in orphaned pointers (and hence, a memory
3850 leak).
3851
3852 Changes since 3.0.2rc1
3853
3854- allocate_lease() was rewritten to repair a bug in which the server would
3855 try to allocate an ABANDONED lease when FREE leases were available.
3856
3857 Changes since 3.0.2b1
3858
3859- Some dhcp-eval.5 manpage formatting was repaired.
3860
3861 Changes since 3.0.1
3862
3863- A bug was fixed in the server's 'option overloading' implementation,
3864 where options loaded into the 'file' and 'sname' packet fields were
3865 not aligned precisely as rfc2131 dictates.
3866
3867- The FreeBSD client script was changed to support the case where a domain
3868 name was not provided by the server.
3869
3870- A memory leak in 'omshell' per each command line parsed was
3871 repaired, thanks to a patch from Jarkko Torppa.
3872
3873- Log functions writing to stderr were adjusted to use the STDERR_FILENO
3874 system definition rather than '2'. This is a no-op for 90% of platforms.
3875
3876- One call to trace_write_packet_iov() counted the number of io vectors
3877 incorrectly, causing inconsistent tracefiles. This was fixed.
3878
3879- Some expression parse failure memory leaks were closed.
3880
3881- A host byte order problem in tracefiles was repaired.
3882
3883- Pools configured in DHCPD for failover possessing permission lists that
adb95d23 3884 previously were assumed to not include dynamic bootp clients are now
98311e4b
DH
3885 a little more pessimistic. The result is, dhcpd will nag you about just
3886 about most pools that possess a 'allow' statement with no 'deny' that
3887 would definitely match a dynamic bootp client.
3888
3889- The 'ddns-update-style' configuration warning bit now insists that
3890 the configuration be globally scoped.
3891
3892- Two memory leaks in dhclient were closed thanks to a patch from Felix
3893 Farkas.
3894
3895- Some minor but excellently pedantic documentation errors were fixed
3896 thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
3897
3898- Bugs in operator precedence in executable statements have been repaired
3899 once again. More legal syntaxes should be parsed legally.
3900
3901- Failing to initialize a tracefile for any reason if a tracefile was
3902 specified is now a fatal error. Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
3903
3904- Corrected a bug in which the number of leases transferred as calculated
3905 by the failover primary and sent to peers in POOLRESP responses may be
3906 incorrect. This value is not believed to be used by other failover
3907 implementations, excepting perhaps as logged information.
3908
3909- Corrected a bug in which 'dhcp_failover_send_poolresp()' was in fact
3910 sending POOLREQ messages instead of POOLRESP mesasges. This message
3911 was essentially ignored since failover secondaries effectively do not
3912 respond to POOLREQ messages.
3913
3914- Type definitions for various bitwidths of integers in the sunos5-5
3915 build of ISC DHCP have been fixed. It should compile and run more
3916 easily when built in 64-bit for this platform.
3917
3918- "allow known-clients;" is now a legal syntax, to avoid confusion.
3919
3920- If one dhcp server chooses to 'load balance' a request to its failover
3921 peer, it first checks to see if it believes said peer has a free
3922 lease to allocate before ignoring the DISCOVER.
3923
3924- log() was logging a work buffer, rather than the value returned by
3925 executing the statements configured by the user. In some cases,
3926 the work buffer and the intended results were the same. In some other
3927 cases, they were not. This was fixed thanks to a patch from Gunnar
3928 Fjone and directconnect.no.
3929
3930- Compiler warnings for some string type conversions was fixed, thanks
3931 to Andreas Gustafsson.
3932
3933- The netbsd build environments were simplified to one, in which
3934 -Wconversion is not used, thanks to Andreas Gustafsson.
3935
3936- How randomness in the backoff-cutoff dhclient configuration variable
3937 is implemented was better documented in the manpage, and the behaviour
3938 of dhclient in REQUEST timeout handling was changed to match that of
3939 DISCOVER timeout handling.
3940
3941- Omapi was hardened against clients that pass in null values, thanks
3942 to a patch from Mark Jason Dominus.
3943
3944- A bug was fixed in dhclient that kept it from doing client-side
3945 ddns updates. Thanks to a patch from Andreas Gustafsson, which
3946 underwent some modification after review by Jason Vas Dias.
3947
3948- Failover implementations disconnected due to the network between
3949 them (rather than one of the two shutting down) will now try to
3950 re-establish the failover connection every 5 seconds, rather than
3951 to simply try once and give up until one of them is restarted.
3952 Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from Infoblox, and field testing
3953 by Greger V. Teigre which led to an enhancement to it.
3954
3955- A problem that kept DHCP Failover secondaries from tearing down
3956 ddns records was repaired. Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from
3957 Infoblox.
3958
3959- 64bit pointer sizes are detected properly on FreeBSD now.
3960
3961- A bug was repaired where the DHCP server would leave stale references
3962 to host records on leases it once thought about offering to certain
3963 clients. The result would be to apply host and 'known' scopes to the
3964 wrong clients (possibly denying booting). NOTE: The 'mis-host' patch
3965 that was being circulated as a workaround is not the way this bug was
3966 fixed. If you were a victim of this bug in 3.0.1, you are cautioned
3967 to proceed carefully and see if it fixes your problem.
3968
3969- A bug was repaired in the server's DHCPINFORM handling, where it
3970 tried to divine the client's address from the source packet and
3971 would get it wrong. Thanks to Anshuman Singh Rawat.
3972
3973- A log message was introduced to help illuminate the case where the
3974 server was unable to find a lease to assign to any BOOTP client.
3975 Thanks to Daniel Baker.
3976
3977- A minor dhcpd.conf.5 manpage error was fixed.
3978
3979 Changes since 3.0.1rc14
3980
3981- The global variable 'cur_time' was centralized and is now uniformly of a
3982 type #defined in system-dependent headers. It had previously been defined
3983 in one of many places as a 32-bit value, and this causes mayhem on 64-bit
3984 big endian systems. It probably wasn't too healthy on little endian
3985 systems either.
3986
3987- A printf format string error introduced in rc14 was repaired.
3988
3989- AIX system-dependent header file was altered to only define NO_SNPRINTF
3990 if the condition used to #ifdef in vsnprintf in AIX' header files
3991 is false.
3992
3993- The Alpha/OSF system-dependent header file was altered to define
3994 NO_SNPRINTF on OS revisions older than 4.0G.
3995
3996- omapip/test.c had string.h added to its includes.
3997
3998 Changes since 3.0.1rc13
3999
4000! CAN-2004-0460 - CERT VU#317350: Five stack overflow exploits were closed
4001 in logging messages with excessively long hostnames provided by the
4002 clients. It is highly probable that these could have been used by
4003 attackers to gain arbitrary root access on systems using ISC DHCP 3.0.1
4004 release candidates 12 or 13. Special thanks to Gregory Duchemin for
4005 both finding and solving the problem.
4006
4007! CAN-2004-0461 - CERT VU#654390: Once the above was closed, an opening
45d545f0 4008 in log_*() functions was evidenced, on some specific platforms where
98311e4b
DH
4009 vsnprintf() was not believed to be available and calls were wrapped to
4010 sprintf() instead. Again, credit goes to Gregory Duchemin for finding
4011 the problem. Calls to snprintf() are now linked to a distribution-local
4012 snprintf implementation, only in those cases where the architecture is
4013 not known to provide one (see includes/cf/[arch].h). If you experience
4014 linking problems with snprintf/vsnprintf or 'isc_print_' functions, this
4015 is where to look. This vulnerability did not exist in any previously
4016 published version of ISC DHCP.
4017
4018- Compilation on hpux 11.11 was repaired.
4019
4020- 'The cross-compile bug fix' was backed out.
4021
4022 Changes since 3.0.1rc12
4023
4024- Fixed a bug in omapi lease lookup function, to form the hardware
4025 address for the hash lookup correctly, thanks to a patch from
4026 Richard Hirst.
4027
4028- Fixed a bug where dhcrelay was sending relayed responses back to the
4029 broadcast address, but with the source's unicast mac address. Should
4030 now conform to rfc2131 section 4.1.
4031
4032- Cross-compile bug fix; use $(AR) instead of ar. Thanks to Morten Brorup.
4033
4034- Fixed a crash bug in dhclient where dhcpd servers that do not provide
4035 renewal times results in an FPE. As a side effect, dhclient can now
4036 properly handle 0xFFFFFFFF (-1) expiry times supplied by servers. Thanks
4037 to a patch from Burt Silverman.
4038
4039- The 'ping timeout' debugs from rc12 were removed to -DDEBUG only,
45d545f0 4040 and reformatted to correct a compilation error on Solaris platforms.
98311e4b
DH
4041
4042- A patch was applied which fixes a case where leases read from the
4043 leases database do not properly over-ride previously read leases.
4044
4045- dhcpctl.3 manpage was tweaked.
4046
4047 Changes since 3.0.1rc11
4048
4049- A patch from Steve Campbell was applied with minor modifications to
4050 permit reverse dns PTR record updates with values containing spaces.
4051
4052- A patch from Florian Lohoff was applied with some modifications to
4053 dhcrelay. It now discards packets whose hop count exceeds 10 by default,
4054 and a command-line option (-c) can be used to set this threshold.
4055
4056- A failover bug relating to identifying peers by name length instead of
4057 by name was fixed.
4058
45d545f0 4059- Declaring failover configs within shared-network statements should no
98311e4b
DH
4060 longer result in error.
4061
4062- The -nw command line option to dhclient now works.
4063
4064- Thanks to a patch from Michael Richardson:
4065 - Some problems with long option processing have been fixed.
4066 - Some fixes to minires so that updates of KEY records will work.
4067
4068- contrib/ms2isc was updated by Shu-Min Chang of the Intel Corporation.
4069 see contrib/ms2isc/readme.txt for revision notes.
4070
4071- Dhclient no longer uses shell commands to kill another instance of
4072 itself, it sends the signal directly. Thanks to a patch from Martin
4073 Blapp.
4074
4075- The FreeBSD dhclient-script was changed so that a failure to write to
4076 /etc/resolv.conf does not prematurely end the script. This keeps dhclient
4077 from looping infinitely when this is the case. Thanks to a patch from
4078 Martin Blapp.
4079
4080- A patch from Bill Stephens was applied which resolves a problem with lease
4081 expiry times in failover configurations.
4082
4083- A memory leak in configuration parsing was closed thanks to a patch from
4084 Steve G.
4085
4086- The function which discovers interfaces will now skip non-broadcast or
4087 point-to-point interfaces, thanks to a patch from David Brownlee.
4088
4089- Options not yet known by the dhcpd or dhclient have had their names
4090 changed such that they do not contain # symbols, in case they should ever
4091 appear in a lease file. An option that might have been named "#144" is
4092 now "unknown-144".
4093
4094- Another patch from Bill Stephens which allows the ping-check timeout to
4095 be configured as 'ping-timeout'. Defaults to 1.
4096
4097 Changes since 3.0.1rc10
4098
4099- Potential buffer overflows in minires repaired.
4100
4101- A change to the linux client script to use /bin/bash, since /bin/sh may
4102 not be bash.
4103
4104- Some missing va_end cleanups thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
4105
4106- A correction of boolean parsing syntax validation - some illegal syntaxes
4107 that worked before are now detected and produce errs, some legal syntaxes
4108 that errored before will now work properly.
4109
4110- Some search-and-replace errors that caused some options to change their
4111 names was repaired.
4112
4113- Shu-min Chang of the Intel corporation has contributed a perl script and
4114 module that converts the MS NT4 DHCP configuration to a ISC DHCP3
4115 configuration file.
4116
4117- Applied the remainder of the dhcpctl memory leak patch provided by Bill
4118 Squier at ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
4119
4120- Missing non-optional failover peer configurations will now result in a soft
4121 error rather than a null dereference.
4122
4123 Changes since 3.0.1rc9
4124
4125- A format string was corrected to fix compiler warnings.
4126
4127- A number of spelling corrections were made in the man pages.
4128
4129- The dhclient.conf.5 man page was changed to refer to do-forward-updates
4130 rather than a configuration option that doesn't exist.
4131
4132- A FreeBSD-specific bug in the interface removal handling was fixed.
4133
4134- A Linux-specific Token Ring detection problem was fixed.
4135
4136- Hashes removed from as-yet-unknown agent options, having those options
4137 appear in reality before we know about them will no longer produce
4138 self-corrupting lease databases.
4139
4140- dhclient will use the proper port numbers now when using the -g option.
4141
4142- A order-of-operations bug with 2 match clauses in 1 class statement is
4143 fixed thanks to a patch from Andrew Matheson.
4144
4145- Compilation problems on Solaris were fixed.
4146
4147- Compilation problems when built with DEBUG or DEBUG_PACKET were repaired.
4148
4149- A fix to the dhcp ack process which makes certain group options will be
4150 included in the first DHCPOFFER message was made thanks to a patch from
4151 Ling Gou.
4152
4153- A few memory leaks were repaired thanks to patches from Bill Squier at
4154 ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
4155
4156- A fix for shared-networks that sometimes give clients options for the
4157 wrong subnets (in particular, 'option routers') was applied, thanks to
4158 Ted Lemon for the patch.
4159
4160- Omshell's handling of dotted octets as values was changed such that dots
4161 one after the other produce zero values in the integer string.
4162
4163 Changes since 3.0.1rc8
4164
4165- Fix a format string vulnerability in the server that could lead to a
4166 remote root compromise (discovered by NGSEC Research Team, www.ngsec.com).
4167
4168- Add additional support for NetBSD/sparc64.
4169
4170- Fix a bug in the command-line parsing of the client. Also, resolve
4171 a memory leak.
4172
4173- Add better support for shells other than bash in the Linux client
4174 script.
4175
4176- Various build fixes for modern versions of FreeBSD and Linux.
4177
4178- Fix a bad bounds check when printing binding state names.
4179
4180- Clarify documentation about fixed-address and multiple addresses.
4181
4182- Fix a typo in the authoritative error message.
4183
4184- Make a log entry when we can't write a billing class.
4185
4186- Use conversion targets that are the right size on all architectures.
4187
4188- Increment the hop count when relaying.
4189
4190- Log a message when lease state is changed through OMAPI.
4191
4192- Don't rerun the shared_network when evaluating the pool.
4193
4194- Fix a reversed test in the parser.
4195
4196- Change the type of rbuf_max.
4197
4198- Make FTS_LAST a manifest constant to quiet warnings.
4199
4200 Changes since 3.0.1rc7
4201
4202- Fix two compiler warnings that are generated when compiling on Solaris
4203 with gcc. These stop the build, even though they weren't actually
4204 errors, because we prefer that our builds generate no warnings.
4205
4206 Changes since 3.0.1rc6
4207
4208- Don't allow a lease that's in the EXPIRED, RELEASED or RESET state
4209 to be renewed.
4210
4211- Implement lease stealing for cases where the primary has fewer leases
4212 than the secondary, as called for by the standard.
4213
4214- Add a fudge factor to the lease expiry acceptance code, (suggested
4215 by Kevin Miller of CMU).
4216
4217- Fix a bug in permit_list_match that made it much too willing to say
4218 that two permit lists matched.
4219
4220- Unless DEBUG_DNS_UPDATES is defined, print more user-friendly (and
4221 also more compact) messages about DNS updates.
4222
4223- Fix a bug in generating wire-format domain names for the FQDN option.
4224
4225- Fix a bug where the FQDN option would not be returned if the client
4226 requested it, contrary to the standard.
4227
4228- On Darwin, use the FreeBSD DHCP client script.
4229
4230- On NetBSD/sparc, don't check for casting warnings.
4231
4232- Add a flag in the DHCP client to disable updating the client's A
4233 record when sending an FQDN option indicating that the client is
4234 going to update its A record.
4235
4236- In the client, don't attempt a DNS update until one second after
4237 configuring the new IP address, and if the update times out, keep
4238 trying until a response, positive or negative, is received from the
4239 DNS server.
4240
4241- Fix an uninitialized memory bug in the DHCP client.
4242
4243- Apply some FreeBSD-specific bug fixes suggested by Murray Stokely.
4244
4245- Fix a bug in ns_parserr(), where it was returning the wrong sort
4246 of result code in some cases (suggested by Ben Harris of the
4247 NetBSD project).
4248
4249- Fix a bug in is_identifier(), where it was checking against EOF
4250 instead of the END_OF_FILE token (also suggested by Ben Harris).
4251
4252- Fix a bug where if an option universe contained no options, the
4253 DHCP server could dump core (Walter Steiner).
4254
4255- Fix a bug in the handling of encapsulated options.
4256
4257- Fix a bug that prevented NWIP suboptions from being processed.
4258
4259- Delete the FTS_BOOTP and FTS_RESERVED states and implement them
4260 as modifier flags to the FTS_ACTIVE state, as called for in the
4261 failover protocol standard.
4262
4263- Fix bugs in the pool merging code that resulted in references and
4264 dereferences of null pointers. This bug had no impact unless the
4265 POINTER_DEBUG flag was defined.
4266
4267- In the server, added a do-forward-updates flag that can be used to
4268 disable forward updates in all cases, so that sites that want the
4269 clients to take sole responsibility for updating their A record can
4270 do so.
4271
4272- Make it possible to disable optimization of PTR record updates.
4273
4274 Changes since 3.0.1rc5
4275
4276- Include some new documentation and changes provided by Karl Auer.
4277
4278- Add a workaround for some Lexmark printers that send a double-NUL-
4279 terminated host-name option, which would break DNS updates.
4280
4281- Fix an off-by-one error in the MAC-address checking code for
4282 DHCPRELEASE that was added in 3.0.1rc5.
4283
4284- Fix a bug where client-specific information was not being discarded
4285 from the lease when it expired or was released, resulting in
4286 problems if the lease was reallocated to a different client.
4287
4288- If more than one allocation pool is specified that has the same set
4289 of constraints as another allocation pool on the same shared
4290 network, merge the two pools.
4291
4292- Don't print an error in fallback_discard, since this just causes
4293 confusion and does not appear to be helping to encourage anyone to
4294 fix this bug.
4295
4296 Changes since 3.0.1rc4
4297
4298- Fix a bug that would cause the DHCP server to spin if asked to parse
4299 a certain kind of incorrect statement.
4300
4301- Fix a related bug that would prevent an error from being reported in
4302 the same case.
4303
4304- Additional documentation.
4305
4306- Make sure that the hardware address matches the lease when
4307 processing a DHCPRELEASE message.
4308
4309 Changes since 3.0.1rc3
4310
4311- A minor bug fix in the arguments to a logging function call.
4312- Documentation update for dhcpd.conf.
4313
adbef119 4314 Changes since 3.0.1rc2
98311e4b
DH
4315
4316- Allow the primary to send a POOLREQ message. This isn't what the current
4317 failover draft says to do, so we may have to back it out if I can't get the
4318 authors to relent, but the scheme for balancing that's specified in the
4319 current draft seems needlessly hairy, so I'm floating a trial balloon.
4320 The rc1 code did not implement the method described in the draft either.
4321
adbef119 4322 Changes since 3.0.1rc1
98311e4b
DH
4323
4324- Treat NXDOMAIN and NXRRSET as success when we are trying to delete a
4325 domain or RRSET. This allows the DHCP server to forget about a name
4326 it added to the DNS once it's been removed, even if the DHCP server
4327 wasn't the one that removed it.
4328
4329- Install defaults for failover maximum outstanding updates and maximum
4330 silent time. This prevents problems that might occur if these values
4331 were not configured.
4332
4333- Don't do DDNS deletes if ddns-update-style is none.
4334
4335- Return relay agent information options in DHCPNAK. This prevents DHCPNAK
4336 messages from being dropped when the relay agent information option contains
4337 routing information.
4338
4339- Fix a problem where coming up in recover wouldn't result in an update
4340 request being sent.
4341
4342- Add some more chatty messages when we start a recovery update and when it's
4343 done.
4344
4345- Fix a possible problem where some state might have been left around
4346 after the peer lost contact and regained contact about how many updates
4347 were pending.
4348
4349- Don't nix a lease update because of a lease conflict. This test has
4350 never (as far as I know) prevented a mistake, and it appears to cause
4351 problems with failover.
4352
4353- Add support in rc history code for keeping a selective history, rather
4354 than a history of all references and dereferences. This code is only used
4355 when extensive additional debugging is enabled.
4356
adbef119 4357 Changes since 3.0
98311e4b
DH
4358
4359- Make allocators for hash tables. As a side effect, this fixes a memory
4360 smash in the subclass allocation code.
4361
4362- Fix a small bug in omshell where if you try to close an object when
4363 no object is open, it dumps core.
4364
4365- Fix an obscure coredump that could occur on shutdown.
4366
4367- Fix a bug in the recording of host declaration rubouts in the lease file.
4368
4369- Fix two potential spins in the host deletion code.
4370
4371- Fix a core dump that would happen if an application tried to update
4372 a host object attribute with a null value.
4373
4374 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 12
4375
4376- Fix a memory leak in the evaluation code.
4377
4378- Fix an obscure core dump.
4379
4380- Print a couple of new warnings when parsing the configuration file
4381 when crucial information is left out.
4382
4383- Log "no free leases" as an error.
4384
4385- Documentation updates.
4386
4387 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 11
4388
4389- Always return a subnet selection option if one is sent.
4390
4391- Fix a warning that was being printed because an automatic data
4392 structure wasn't zeroed.
4393
4394- Fix some failover state transitions that were being handled
4395 incorrectly.
4396
4397- When supersede_lease is called on a lease whose end time has already
4398 expired, but for which a state transition has not yet been done, do
4399 a state transition. This fixes the case where if the secondary
4400 allocated a lease to a client and the lease "expired" while the
4401 secondary was in partner-down, no expiry event would actually
4402 happen, so the lease would remain active until the primary was
4403 restarted.
4404
4405 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 10
4406
4407- Fix a bug that was preventing released leases from changing state
4408 in failover-enabled pools.
4409
4410- Fix a core dump in the client identifier finder code (for host
4411 declarations).
4412
4413- Finish fixing a bug where bogus data would sometimes get logged to
4414 the dhclient.leases file because it was opened as descriptor 2.
4415
4416- Fix the Linux dhclient-script according to suggestions made by
4417 several people on the dhcp-client mailing list.
4418
4419- Log successful DNS updates at LOG_INFO, not LOG_ERROR.
4420
4421- Print an error message and refuse to run if a failover peer is
4422 defined but not referenced by any pools.
4423
4424- Correct a confusing error message in failover.
4425
eaf0b302
TL
4426 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 9

4432- Fix a bug that prevented update-static-leases from working.
4433
4434- Document failover-state OMAPI object.
4435
4436- Fix a compilation error on SunOS 4.
4437
d758ad8c
TL
4438 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8 Patchlevel 1
4439
4440- Fix a parsing bug that broke dns updates (both interim and ad-hoc).
4441 This was introduced in rc8pl1 as an unintended result of the memory
4442 leakage fixes that were in pl1.
4443
4444- Fix a long-standing bug where the server would record that an update
4445 had been done for a client with no name, even though no update had
4446 been done, and then when the client's lease expired the deletion of
4447 that nonexistant record would time out because the name was the null
9a111ee8 4448 string.
d758ad8c
TL
4449
4450- Clean up the omshell, dhcpctl and omapi man pages a bit.
4451
d758ad8c
TL
4452 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8
4453
4454- Fix a bug that could cause the DHCP server to spin if
4455 one-lease-per-client was enabled.
4456
4457- Fix a bug that was causing core dumps on BSD/os in the presence of
4458 malformed packets.
4459
4460- In partner-down state, don't restrict lease lengths to MCLT.
4461
4462- On the failover secondary, record the MCLT received from the primary
4463 so that if we come up without a connection to the primary we don't
4464 wind up giving out zero-length leases.
4465
4466- Fix some compilation problems on BSD/os.
4467
4468- Fix a bunch of memory leaks.
4469
4470- Fix a couple of bugs in the option printer.
4471
4472- Fix an obscure error reporting bug in the dns update code, and also
4473 make the message clearer when a key algorithm isn't supported.
4474
4475- Fix a bug in the tracing code that prevented trace runs that used
4476 tcp connections from being played back.
4477
4478- Add some additional debugging capability for catching memory leaks
4479 on exit.
4480
4481- Make the client release the lease correctly on shutdown.
4482
4483- Add some configurability to the build system.
4484
4485- Install omshell manual page in man1, not man8.
4486
4487- Craig Gwydir sent in a patch that fixes a long-standing bug in the
4488 DHCP client that could cause core dumps, but that for some reason
4489 hadn't been noticed until now.
4490
4491 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 7
4492
4493- Fix a bug in failover where we weren't sending updates after a
4494 transition from communications-interrupted to normal.
4495
4496- Handle expired/released/reset -> free transition according to the
4497 protocol specification (this works - the other way not only wasn't
4498 conformant, but also didn't work).
4499
4500- Add a control object in both client and server that allows either
4501 daemon to be shut down cleanly.
4502
4503- When writing a lease, if we run out of disk space, shut down the
4504 output file and insist on writing a new one before proceeding.
4505
4506- In the server, if the OMAPI listener port is occupied, keep trying
4507 to get it, rather than simply giving up and exiting.
4508
4509- Support fetching variables from leases and also updating and adding
4510 variables to leases via OMAPI.
4511
4512- If two failover peers have wildly different clocks, refuse to start
4513 doing failover.
4514
4515- Fix a bug in the DNS update code that could cause core dumps when
4516 running on alpha processors.
4517
4518- Fixed a bug in ddns updates for static lease entries, thanks to a
4519 patch from Andrey M Linkevitch.
4520
4521- Add support for Darwin/MacOS X
4522
4523- Install omshell (including new documentation).
4524
4525- Support DNS updates in the client (this is a very obscure feature
4526 that most DHCP client users probably will not be able to use).
4527
4528- Somewhat cleaner status logging in the client.
4529
4530- Make OMAPI key naming syntax compatible with the way keys are
4531 actually named (key names are domain names).
4532
4533- Fix a bug in the lease file writer.
4534
4535- Install DHCP ISC headers in a different place than BIND 9 ISC
4536 headers, to avoid causing trouble in BIND 9 builds.
4537
4538- Don't send updates for attributes on an object when the attributes
4539 haven't changed. Support deleting attributes on remote objects.
4540
4541- Fix a number of bugs in omshell, and add the unset and refresh
4542 statements.
4543
4544- Handle disconnects in OMAPI a little bit more intelligently (so that
4545 the caller gets ECONNRESET instead of EINVAL).
4546
4547- Fix a bunch of bugs in the handling of clients that have existing
4548 leases when the try to renew their leases while failover is
4549 operating.
4550
eaf0b302
TL
4551 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 6
4552
4553- Fix a core dump that could happen when processing a DHCPREQUEST from
4554 a client that had a host declaration that contained both a
4555 fixed-address declaration and a dhcp-client-identifier option
4556 declaration, if the client identifier was longer than nine bytes.
4557
4558- Fix a memory leak that could happen in certain obscure cases when
4559 using omapi to manipulate leases.
4560
4561- Fix some bugs and omissions in omshell.
4562
eaf0b302
TL
4563 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 5
4564
4565- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that prevented objects in
4566 chains from having their reference counts decreased on dereference.
4567
4568- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that would prevent object
4569 chains from being freed upon removal of the last reference external
4570 to the chain.
4571
4572- Fix a number of other memory leaks in the OMAPI protocol subsystem.
4573
4574- Add code in the OMAPI protocol handler to trace memory leakage.
4575
4576- Clean up the memory allocation/reference history printer.
4577
98311e4b 4578- Support input of dotted quads and colon-separated hex lists as
eaf0b302

4583- Conditionalize a piece of trace code that wasn't conditional.
4584
4585 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 4
4586
4587- Fix a bug that would prevent leases from being abandoned properly on
4588 DHCPDECLINE.
4589
4590- Fix failover peer OMAPI support.
4591
4592- In failover, correctly handle expiration of leases. Previously,
4593 leases would never be reclaimed because they couldn't make the
4594 transition from EXPIRED to FREE.
4595
4596- Fix some broken failover state transitions.
4597
4598- Documentation fixes.
4599
4600- Take out an unnecessary check in DHCP relay agent information option
4601 stashing code that was preventing REBINDING clients from rebinding.
4602
4603- Prevent failover peers from allocating leases in DHCPREQUEST
4604 processing if the lease belongs to the other server.
4605
4606- Record server version in lease file introductory comment.
4607
4608- Correctly report connection errors in OMAPI and failover.
4609
4610- Make authentication signature algorithm name comparisons in OMAPI
4611 case-insensitive.
4612
4613- Fix compile problem on SunOS 4.x
4614
98311e4b 4615- If a signature algorithm is not terminated with '.', terminate it so
eaf0b302
TL
4616 that comparisons between fully-qualified names will work
4617 consistently.
4618
4619- Different SIOCGIFCONF probe code, may "fix" problem on some Linux
4620 systems with the probe not working correctly.
4621
4622- Don't allow user to type omapi key on command line of omshell.

TL
4624 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 3
4625
4626- Do lease billing on startup in a way that I *think* will finally do
4627 the billing correctly - the previous method could overbill as a
4628 result of duplicate leases.

4634- Fix some problems in the DDNS update code. Thanks to Albert
4635 Herranz for figuring out the main problem.
4636
4637- Fix some reference counting errors on host entries that were causing
4638 core dumps.
4639
4640- Fix a byte-swap bug in the token ring code, thanks to Jochen
4641 Friedrich.
4642
4643- Fix a bug in lease billing, thanks to Jonas Bulow.
4644
4645 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 2
4646
4647- Change the conditions under which a DHCPRELEASE is actually
4648 committed to be consistent with lease binding states rather than
98311e4b 4649 using the lease end time. This may fix some problems with the
892fe689
TL
4650 billing class code.
4651
4652- Fix a bug where lease updates would fail on Digital Unix (and maybe
4653 others) because malloc was called with a size of zero.
4654
4655- Fix a core dump that happens when the DHCP server can't create its
4656 trace file.

4661 zero-length buffer. Some versions of malloc() fail if you try to
4662 allocate a zero-length buffer, and this was causing problems on,
4663 e.g., Digital Unix.
4664
4665- Fix a case where the failover code was printing an error message
4666 when no error had occurred.
4667
4668- Fix a problem where when a server went down and back up again, the
4669 peer would not see a state transition and so would stay in the
4670 non-communicating state.
4671
4672- Be smart about going into recover_wait.
4673
4674- Fix a problem in the failover implementation where peers would fail
4675 to come into sync if interrupted in the RECOVER state. This could
4676 have been the cause of some problems people have reported recently.
4677
4678- Fix a problem with billing classes where they would not be unbilled
4679 when the client lease expired.
4680
4681- If select fails, figure out which descriptor is bad, and cut it out
4682 of the I/O loop. This prevents a potentially nasty spin. I
4683 haven't heard any report it in a while, but it came up consistently
4684 in testing.
4685
4686- Fix a bug in the relay agent where if you specified interfaces on
4687 the command line, it would fail.
4688
4689- Fix a couple of small bugs in the omapi connection object (no known
4690 user impact).
4691
4692- Add the missing 3.0 Beta 1 lease conversion script.
4693
4694- Read dhcp client script hooks if they exist, rather than only if
4695 they're executable.

4707- There is a known problem with the DHCP server doing failover on
4708 Compaq Alpha systems. This patchlevel is not a release candidate
4709 because of this bug. The bug should be straightforward to fix, so
4710 a new release candidate is expected shortly.

4718 work, so that failover should now much less fragile.

4736- Fix a bug in the DNS update code where a status code was not being
4737 checked. This may have been causing core dumps.
4738
4739- When parsing the lease file, if a lease declaration includes a
4740 billing class statement, and the lease already has a billing class,
4741 unbill the old class.
4742
4743- When processing failover transactions, where acks will be deferred,
4744 process the state transition immediately.
4745
4746- Don't try to use the new SIOCGIFCONF buffer size detection code on
4747 Linux 2.0, which doesn't provide this functionality.
4748
4749- Apply a patch suggested by Tuan Uong for a problem in dlpi.c.
4750
4751- Fix a problem in using the which command in the configure script.
4752
4753- Fix a parse error in the client when setting up an omapi listener.
4754
4755- Document the -n and -g flags to the client.
4756
4757- Make sure there is always a stdin and stdout on startup. This
4758 prevents shell scripts from accidentally writing error messages into
4759 configuration files that happen to be opened as stderr.
4760
4761- If an interface is removed, the client will now notice that it is
4762 gone rather than spinning. This has only been tested on NetBSD.
4763
4764- The client will attempt to get an address even if it can't create a
4765 lease file.

4812- Implement omshell, which can be used to do arbitrary things to the
4813 server (in theory). (Damien Neil)
4814
4815- Fix a case where if a client had two different leases the server could
4816 actually dereference the second one when it hadn't been referenced,
4817 leading to memory corruption and a core dump. (James Brister)
4818
4819- Fix a case where a client could request the address of another client's
4820 lease, but find_lease wouldn't detect that the other client had it, and
4821 would attempt to allocate it to the client, resulting in a lease conflict
4822 message.
4823
4824- Fix a case where a client with more than one client identifier could be
4825 given a lease where the hardware address was correct but the client
4826 identifier was not, resulting in a lease conflict message.
4827
98311e4b 4828- Fix a problem where the server could write out a colon-separated
3350f5b7
TL
4829 hex list as a value for a variable, which would then not parse.
4830 The fix is to always write strings as quoted strings, with any
4831 non-printable characters quoted as octal escape sequences. So
4832 a file written the old way still won't work, but new files written
4833 this way will work.

4835- Fix documentation for sending non-standard options.

4838 break any configuration files that use the option-nnn convention.
4839 If you want to continue to use this convention for some options,
4840 please be sure to write a definition, like this:
4841
4842 option option-nnn code nnn = string;
4843
4844 You can use a descriptive name instead of option-nnn if you like.
4845
4846- Fix a problem where we would see a DHCPDISCOVER/DHCPOFFER/
4847 DHCPREQUEST/DHCPACK/DHCPREQUEST/DHCPNAK sequence. This was the
4848 result of a deceptively silly bug in supersede_lease.
4849

TL
4863- Add support for transaction tracing. This allows the state of the
4864 DHCP server on startup, and all the subsequent transactions, to be
4865 recorded in a file which can then be played back to reproduce the
4866 behaviour of the DHCP server. This can be used to quickly
4867 reproduce bugs that cause core dumps or corruption, and also for
4868 tracking down memory leaks.
4869
4870- Incorporate some bug fixes provided by Joost Mulders for the DLPI
4871 package which should clear up problems people have been seeing on
4872 Solaris.
4873
4874- Fix bugs in the handling of options stored as linked lists (agent
4875 options, fqdn options and nwip options) that could cause memory
4876 corruption and core dumps.
4877

4923
4924- Finish fixing a long-standing bug in the agent options code. This
4925 was causing core dumps and failing to operate correctly - in
4926 particular, agent option stashing wasn't working. Agent option
4927 stashing should now be working, meaning that agent options can be
4928 used in class statements to control address allocation.
4929
4930- Fix up documentation.

4933 significantly in a high-demand situation.

4936
4937- Fix a compile error on some older operating systems.

4940 transmitting packets to the server. Handy for debugging; not much
4941 practical use otherwise.

4943- Don't send faked-out giaddr when renewing or bound - again, useful
4944 for debugging.

4949 an option with an (unsigned) negative length, resulting in a core
4950 dump on some systems.

4952- Work around the Win98 DHCP client, which NUL-terminates the FQDN
4953 option.
4954
4955- Work around Win98 and Win2k clients that will claim they want to do
4956 the update even when they don't have any way to do it.
4957
4958- Fix some log messages that can be printed when failover is operating
4959 that were not printing enough information.
4960
4961- It was possible for a DHCPDISCOVER to get an allocation even when
4962 the state machine said the server shouldn't be responding.
4963
4964- Don't load balance DHCPREQUESTs from clients in RENEWING and
4965 REBINDING, since in RENEWING, if we heard it, it's for us, and in
4966 REBINDING, the client wouldn't have got to REBINDING if its primary
4967 were answering.

4970 the transition.

4981 representation from working correctly.
4982
4983- Thanks to Chris Cheney and Michael Sanders, we have a fix for the
4984 hang that they both spotted in the DHCP server - when
4985 one-lease-per-client was set, the code to release the "other" lease
4986 could spin.
4987
4988- Fix a problem with alignment of the input buffer in bpf in cases
4989 where two packets arrive in the same bpf read.
4990
4991- Fix a problem where the relay agent would crash if you specified an
4992 interface name on the command line.
4993
4994- Add the ability to conditionalize client behaviour based on the
4995 client state.
4996
4997- Add support for the FQDN option, and added support for a new way of
4998 doing ddns updates (ddns update style interim) that allows more than
4999 one DHCP server to update the DNS for the same network(s). This
5000 was implemented by Damien Neil with some additional functionality
5001 added by Ted Lemon.
5002
5003- Damien added a "log" statement, so that the configuration file can
5004 be made to log debugging information and other information.
5005
5006- Fixed a bug that caused option buffers not to be terminated with an
5007 end option.
5008
5009- Fixed a long-standing bug in the support for option spaces where the
5010 options are stored as an ordered list rather than in a hash table,
5011 which could theoretically result in memory pool corruption.
5012
5013- Prevent hardware declarations with no actual hardware address from
5014 being written as something unparsable, and behave correctly in the
5015 face of a null hardware address on input.
5016
5017- Allow key names to be FQDNs, and qualify the algorithm name if it is
5018 specified unqualified.
5019
5020- Modify the DDNS update code so that it never prints the "resolver
5021 failed" message, but instead says *why* the resolver failed.
5022
5023- Officially support the subnet selection option, which now has an
5024 RFC.
5025

5067 silently dropped.

5086- Fix a possible DoS attack where a client could cause the checksummer
5087 to dump core. This was a read, not a write, so it shouldn't be
5088 possible to exploit it any further than that.
5089
5090- Implement client- and server-side support for using the Client FQDN
5091 option.
5092
5093- Support for other option spaces in the client has been added. This
5094 means that it is now possible to define a vendor option space on the
5095 client, request options in that space from the server (which must
5096 define the same option space), and then use those options in the
5097 client. This also allows NWIP and Client FQDN options to be used
5098 meaningfully.
5099
5100- Add object initializer support. This means that objects can now be
5101 initialized to something other than all-zeros when allocated, which
5102 makes, e.g., the interface object support code a little more robust.
5103
5104- Fix an off-by-one bug in the host stuffer. This was causing host
5105 deletes not the work, and may also have been causing OMAPI
5106 connections to get dropped. Thanks to James Brister for tracking
5107 this one down!
