324257e3 SR |
9 | The major "theme" for ISC DHCP 4.3.x was to update the support for |
10 | DHCPv6 to include several of the features that have been available | |
11 | for DHCPv4. These include: | |
37ec5845 | 12 | |
324257e3 SR |
13 | - Support the use of classes |
14 | ||
15 | - Support for on_commit, on_expiry and on_release statements | |
16 | ||
4809ef5c | 17 | - Better logging of address assignments |
324257e3 SR |
18 | |
19 | - Support for using DHCPv6 relay options in expressions | |
20 | ||
21 | This release also adds suppport for the standard DDNS as described in the | |
22 | current RFCs as well as enhancing support for dynamically adding and removing | |
23 | subclasses via OMAPI. | |
98bf1607 | 24 | |
01a54c17 EH |
25 | There are a number of DHCPv6 limitations and features missing in this |
26 | release, which will be addressed in the future: | |
98bd7ca0 | 27 | |
01a54c17 | 28 | - Only Solaris, Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD are supported. |
3a16098f | 29 | |
adbef119 DH |
30 | - DHCPv6 includes human-readable text in status code messages, in |
31 | English. A method to reconfigure or support other languages would | |
32 | be preferrable. | |
98bd7ca0 DH |
33 | |
34 | - The "host-identifier" option is limited to a simple token. | |
35 | ||
98bd7ca0 | 36 | - The client and server can only operate DHCPv4 or DHCPv6 at a time, |
45d545f0 | 37 | not both. To use both protocols simultaneously, two instances of the |
6de1f33e | 38 | relevant daemon are required, one with the '-6' command line option. |
4ff4053b | 39 | |
01a54c17 EH |
40 | For information on how to install, configure and run this software, as |
41 | well as how to find documentation and report bugs, please consult the | |
42 | README file. | |
ca4606b5 | 43 | |
01a54c17 EH |
44 | ISC DHCP uses standard GNU configure for installation. Please review the |
45 | output of "./configure --help" to see what options are available. | |
fe5b0fdd | 46 | |
01a54c17 EH |
47 | The system has only been tested on Linux, FreeBSD, and Solaris, and may not |
48 | work on other platforms. Please report any problems and suggested fixes to | |
49 | <dhcp-users@isc.org>. | |
98bd7ca0 | 50 | |
fef8c6f0 SR |
51 | ISC DHCP is open source software maintained by Internet Systems |
52 | Consortium. This product includes cryptographic software written | |
53 | by Eric Young (eay@cryptsoft.com). | |
54 | ||
6980ae03 | 55 | Changes since 4.2.0 (new features) |
51b8a8a0 SR |
56 | |
57 | - If a client renews before 'dhcp-cache-threshold' percent of its lease | |
58 | has elapsed (default 25%), the server will reuse the allocated lease | |
59 | (provide a lease within the currently allocated lease-time) rather | |
60 | than extend or renew the lease. This absolves the server of needing | |
61 | to perform an fsync() operation on the lease database before reply, | |
62 | which improves performance. [ISC-Bugs #22228] | |
8cd88e20 SR |
63 | Update this patch to support asynchronous DDNS. If the server is |
64 | attempting to do DDNS on a lease it should be udpated and written to | |
4809ef5c | 65 | disk even if that wouldn't be necessary due to the thresholding. |
8cd88e20 | 66 | [ISC-Bugs #26311] |
51b8a8a0 | 67 | |
6980ae03 SR |
68 | - The 'no available billing' log line now also logs the name of the last |
69 | matching billing class tried before failing to provide a billing. | |
70 | [ISC-Bugs #21759] | |
71 | ||
32e651c4 SR |
72 | - A problem with missing get_hw_addr function when --enable-use-sockets |
73 | was used is now solved on GNU/Linux, BSD and GNU/Hurd systems. Note | |
74 | that use-sockets feature was not tested on those systems. Client and | |
75 | server code no longer use MAX_PATH constant that is not defined on | |
3cb6f9bb | 76 | GNU/Hurd systems. [ISC-Bugs #25979] |
32e651c4 | 77 | |
67418698 SR |
78 | - Add a perl script in the contrib directory, dhcp-lease-list.pl, which |
79 | can parse v4 lease files and output the lease information in a more | |
80 | human friendly manner. This was written by Christian Hammers with | |
81 | some updates by vom and ISC. This is contributed code and is not | |
82 | supported by ISC; however it may be useful to some users. | |
83 | [ISC-Bugs #20680] | |
84 | ||
a7341359 | 85 | - Add support in v6 for on-commit, on-expire and on-release. |
4809ef5c | 86 | [ISC-Bugs #27912] |
a7341359 | 87 | |
01fa619f SR |
88 | - Add support for using classes with v6. |
89 | [ISC-Bugs #26510] | |
90 | ||
d7d9c0c7 SR |
91 | - Update the DDNS code to current standards and allow for sharing |
92 | of DDNS entries between v4 and v6 clients. The new code is used | |
93 | if the ddns-update-style is set to "standard", the older code is | |
94 | still available if ddns-update-style is set to "interim". The | |
95 | oldest DDNS code "ad-hoc" has been removed. Thanks to Thomas Pegeot | |
96 | who submitted a patch for this issue. This patch is based on | |
97 | that work with some modifications. | |
64fb661c | 98 | [ISC-Bugs #21139] |
1534fff7 | 99 | |
cde11a4c SR |
100 | - Add a configuration option to the server to suppress using fsync(). |
101 | Enabling this option will mean that fsync() is never called. This | |
102 | may provide better performance but there is also a risk that a lease | |
103 | will not be properly written to the disk after it has been issued | |
104 | to a client and before the server stops. Using this option is | |
105 | not recommended. | |
64fb661c | 106 | [ISC-Bugs #34810] |
cde11a4c | 107 | |
f88446f1 SR |
108 | - Add some logging statements to indicate when the server is ready |
109 | to serve. One statement is emitted after the server has finished | |
110 | reading its files and is about to enter the dispatch loop. | |
111 | This is "Server starting service.". | |
112 | The second is emitted when a server determines that both it and | |
113 | its failover peer are in the normal state. | |
114 | This is "failover peer <name>: Both servers normal." | |
64fb661c | 115 | [ISC-Bugs #33208] |
f88446f1 | 116 | |
619304cd SR |
117 | - Add support for accessing options from v6 relays. The v6relay |
118 | statement allows the administrator to choose which relay to | |
119 | use when searching for an option, see the dhcp-options man page | |
120 | for a description. The host-identifer option has also been | |
121 | updated to support the use of relay options see the dhcpd.conf | |
122 | man page for a description. | |
123 | [ISC-Bugs #19598] | |
124 | ||
e54ff84f SR |
125 | - When doing DDNS if there isn't an appropriate zone statement attempt |
126 | to find a reasoanble nameserver via a DNS resolver. This restores | |
127 | some functionality that was lost in the transition to asynchronous | |
128 | DDNS. Due to the lack of security and increase in fragility of the | |
129 | system when using this feature we strongly recommend the use of | |
130 | appropriate zone statements rather than using this functionality. | |
131 | [ISC-Bugs #30461] | |
132 | ||
61ef216b SR |
133 | - Add support for specifying the address from which to send |
134 | DDNS updates on the DHCP server. There are two new options | |
135 | "ddns-local-address4" and "ddns-local-address6" that each take | |
136 | one instance of their respective address types. | |
137 | [ISC-Bugs #34779] | |
4d079f0e | 138 | |
38ee81bd SR |
139 | - Add ignore-client-uids option in the server. This option causes |
140 | the server to not record a client's uid in its lease. This | |
141 | violates the specification but may also be useful when a client | |
142 | can dual boot using different client ids but the same mac address. | |
08e6dad9 | 143 | Thank you to Brian De Wolf at Cal Ply Pomona for the patch. |
38ee81bd SR |
144 | [ISC-Bugs #32427] |
145 | [ISC-Bugs #35066] | |
4d079f0e SR |
146 | |
147 | - Extend the DHCPINFORM processing to honor the subnet selection option | |
148 | and take host declarations into account. | |
149 | Thanks to Christof Chen for testing and submitting the patch. | |
150 | [ISC-Bugs #35015] | |
151 | ||
fe2ac9e3 SR |
152 | - Extend the hardware expression to look into the lease structure |
153 | for a hardware address if there is no packet. This allows the | |
154 | server to find the hardware address during on-expiry processing. | |
155 | [ISC-Bugs #24584] | |
61ef216b | 156 | |
bc30c84e SR |
157 | - Add definitions for some options that have been specified by the IETF. |
158 | [ISC-Bugs #29268] | |
ccc2a367 | 159 | [ISC-Bugs #35198] |
bc30c84e | 160 | |
8ee352ee SR |
161 | Changes since 4.3.0b1 |
162 | ||
163 | - Tidy up receive packet processing. | |
164 | Thanks to Brad Plank of GTA for reporting the issue and suggesting | |
165 | a possible patch. | |
166 | [ISC-Bugs #34447] | |
167 | ||
4889a646 SR |
168 | Changes since 4.3.0a1 |
169 | ||
170 | - Modify the message displayed when a process hits a fatal error. | |
171 | The new message is much shorter and simply points to the README | |
172 | and our website for directions on bug submissions. | |
173 | [ISC-Bugs #24789] | |
174 | ||
7dc4e69c SR |
175 | - Handle an absent resolv.conf file better. |
176 | [ISC-Bugs #35194] | |
177 | ||
c5bc8b1a SR |
178 | Changes since 4.2.5 |

d0a10f6a | 182 | |
dc9d7b08 MA |
183 | - Silence benign static analysis warnings. |
184 | [ISC-Bugs #33428] | |
185 | ||
c5bc8b1a | 186 | - Add check for 64-bit package for atf. |
a24b9f23 MA |
187 | [ISC-Bugs #32206] |
188 | ||
189 | - Use newer auto* tool packages and turn on RFC_3542 support on Mac OS. | |
190 | [ISC-Bugs #26303] | |
c5bc8b1a | 191 | |
cc17cbc3 SR |
192 | - Remove a variable when it isn't being used due to #ifdefs to avoid |
193 | a compiler warning on Solaris using GCC. | |
194 | [ISC-Bugs #33032] | |
195 | ||
360cc6d9 SR |
196 | - Add a check for too much whitespace in a config or lease file. |
197 | Thanks to Paolo Pellegrino for finding the issue and a suggestion | |
198 | for the patch. | |
199 | [ISC-Bugs #33351] | |
08b2d347 SR |
200 | |
201 | - Fix several problems with using OMAPI to manipulate class and subclass | |
202 | objects. | |
203 | [ISC-Bugs #27452] | |
204 | ||
ad4001ce SR |
205 | - Added a sleep call after killing the old client to allow time |
206 | for the sockets to be cleaned. This should allow the -r option | |
207 | to work more consistently. | |
208 | [ISC-Bugs #18175] | |
209 | ||
3cb6f9bb SR |
210 | - Missing files for ISC DHCP Developer's Guide are now included in |
211 | the release tarballs. To generate this documentation, please use | |
212 | make devel command in doc directory. [ISC-Bugs #32767] | |
213 | ||
f6dc164f SR |
214 | - Update client script for use with openwrt. |
215 | [ISC-Bugs #29843] | |
216 | ||
4b8251a0 SR |
217 | - Fix the socket handling for DHCPv6 clients to allow multiple instances |
218 | of a client on a single machine to work properly. Previously only | |
219 | one client would receive the packets. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat | |
220 | for the bug report and a potential patch. | |
221 | [ISC-Bugs #34784] | |
222 | ||
47e8308d | 223 | - Added support for gentle shutdown after signal is received. |
0895c955 | 224 | [ISC-Bugs #32692] [ISC-Bugs 34945] |
47e8308d | 225 | |
d9b5c150 SR |
226 | - Enhance the DHCPv6 server logging to include the addresses that are assigned |
227 | to the clients. | |
228 | [ISC-Bugs #26377] | |
229 | ||
c5905ed0 | 230 | - Fix an operation in the DDNS code to be a bitwise instead of logical or. |
08e6dad9 SR |
231 | [ISC-Bugs #35138] |
232 | ||
9f9265b6 SR |
233 | Changes since 4.2.4 |
234 | ||
235 | - Correct code to calculate timing values in client to compare | |
236 | rebind value to infinity instead of renew value. | |
237 | Thanks to Chenda Huang from H3C Technologies Co., Limited | |
238 | for reporting this issue. | |
239 | [ISC-Bugs #29062] | |
240 | ||
35de6c8c SR |
241 | - Fix some issues in the code for parsing and printing options. |
242 | [ISC-Bugs #22625] - properly print options that have several fields | |
243 | followed by an array of something for example "fIa" | |
244 | [ISC-Bugs #27289] - properly parse options in declarations that have | |
245 | several fields followed by an array of something for example "fIa" | |
246 | [ISC-Bugs #27296] - properly determine if we parsed a 16 or 32 bit | |
247 | value in evaluate_numeric_expression (extract-int). | |
248 | [ISC-Bugs #27314] - properly parse a zero length option from | |
249 | a lease file. Thanks to Marius Tomaschewski from SUSE for the report | |
250 | and prototype patch for this ticket as well as ticket 27289. | |
251 | ||
de87ffe3 SR |
252 | ! Previously the server code was relaxed to allow packets with zero |
253 | length client ids to be processed. Under some situations use of | |
254 | zero length client ids can cause the server to go into an infinite | |
255 | loop. As such ids are not valid according to RFC 2132 section 9.14 | |
256 | the server no longer accepts them. Client ids with a length of 1 | |
257 | are also invalid but the server still accepts them in order to | |
258 | minimize disruption. The restriction will likely be tightened in | |
259 | the future to disallow ids with a length of 1. | |
260 | Thanks to Markus Hietava of Codenomicon CROSS project for the | |
261 | finding this issue and CERT-FI for vulnerability coordination. | |
262 | [ISC-Bugs #29851] | |
263 | CVE: CVE-2012-3571 | |
264 | ||
e563ec2e SR |
265 | ! When attempting to convert a DUID from a client id option |
266 | into a hardware address handle unexpected client ids properly. | |
267 | Thanks to Markus Hietava of Codenomicon CROSS project for the | |
268 | finding this issue and CERT-FI for vulnerability coordination. | |
269 | [ISC-Bugs #29852] | |
270 | CVE: CVE-2012-3570 | |
271 | ||
3bedb117 SR |
272 | ! A pair of memory leaks were found and fixed. Thanks to |
273 | Glen Eustace of Massey University, New Zealand for finding | |
274 | this issue. | |
275 | [ISC-Bugs #30024] | |
df2c355e | 276 | CVE: CVE-2012-3954 |
3bedb117 | 277 | |
18a28679 TM |
278 | - Existing legacy unit-tests have been migrated to Automated Test |
279 | Framework (ATF). Several new tests have been developed. To enable | |
280 | unit-tests, please use --with-atf in configure script. A Developer's | |
281 | Guide has been added. To generate it, please use make devel in | |
282 | the doc directory. It is currently in early stages of development, | |
283 | but is expected to grow in the near future. [ISC-Bugs 25901] | |
284 | ||
0b2ec8c9 | 285 | ! An issue with the use of lease times was found and fixed. Making |
03b44855 | 286 | certain changes to the end time of an IPv6 lease could cause the |
0b2ec8c9 SR |
287 | server to abort. Thanks to Glen Eustace of Massey University, |
288 | New Zealand for finding this issue. | |
289 | [ISC-Bugs #30281] | |
290 | CVE: CVE-2012-3955 | |
291 | ||
67b2cb45 SR |
292 | - Update the memory leakage debug code to work with v6. |
293 | [ISC-Bugs #30297] | |
294 | ||
74977c94 SR |
295 | - Relax the requirements for deleting an A or AAAA record. |
296 | Previously the DDNS removal code required both the A or AAAA | |
297 | record and the TXT record to exist. This requirement could | |
298 | cause problems if something interrupted the removal leaving | |
299 | the TXT record alone. This relaxation was codified in RFC 4703. | |
300 | [ISC-Bugs #30734] | |
301 | ||
30e42327 SR |
302 | - Modify the failover code to handle incorrect peer names |
303 | better. Previously the structure holding the name might | |
304 | have been freed inappropriately in some cases and not | |
305 | freed in other cases. | |
306 | [ISC-Bugs #30320] | |
307 | ||
d5d868e7 | 308 | - Add a configure option, enable-secs-byteorder, to deal with |
dbd65517 SR |
309 | clients that do the byte ordering on the secs field incorrectly. |
310 | This field should be in network byte order but some clients | |
311 | get it wrong. When this option is enabled the server will examine | |
312 | the secs field and if it looks wrong (high byte non zero and low | |
313 | byte zero) swap the bytes. The default is disabled. This option | |
314 | is only useful when doing load balancing within failover. | |
315 | [ISC-Bugs #26108] | |
316 | ||
0f750c4f SR |
317 | - Fix a set of issues that were discovered via a code inspection |
318 | tool. Thanks to Jiri Popelka and Tomas Hozza Red Hat for the logs | |
319 | and patches. | |
320 | [ISC-Bugs #23833] | |
321 | ||
962d5eab SR |
322 | - Parsing unquoted base64 strings improved. Parser now properly handles |
323 | strings that contain reserved names. [ISC-Bugs #23048] | |
324 | ||
d56788df SR |
325 | - Modify the nak_lease function to make some attempts to find a |
326 | server-identifier option to use for the NAK. | |
327 | [ISC-Bugs #25689] | |
328 | ||
10613724 SR |
329 | - The client now passes information about the options it requested |
330 | from the server to the script code via environment variables. | |
331 | These variables are of the form requested_<option_name>=1 with | |
332 | the option name being the same as used in the new_* and old_* | |
333 | variables. | |
3aa562f8 | 334 | [ISC-Bugs #29068] |
10613724 | 335 | |
f8380d3f SR |
336 | - Add support for a simple check that the server id in a request message |
337 | to a failover peer matches the server id of the server. This support | |
338 | is enabled by editing the file includes/site.h and uncommenting the | |
339 | definition for SERVER_ID_CHECK. The option has several restrictions | |
340 | and issues - please read the comment in the site.h file before | |
341 | enabling it. | |
342 | [ISC-Bugs #31463] | |
343 | ||
d5d868e7 | 344 | - Tidy up some compiler issues in the debug code. |
0d93c339 SR |
345 | [ISC-Bugs #26460] |
346 | ||
9ff4e0a2 SR |
347 | - Move the dhcpd.conf exmample file to dhcpd.conf.example to avoid |
348 | overwriting the dhcpd.conf file when installing a new version of | |
349 | ISC DHCP. The user will now need to manual copy and edit the | |
350 | dhcpd.conf file as desired. | |
351 | [ISC-Bugs #19337] | |
352 | ||
1e2a127b SR |
353 | - Check the status value when trying to read from a connection to |
354 | see if it may have been closed. If it appears closed don't try | |
355 | to read from it again. This avoids a potential busy-wait like | |
356 | loop when the peer names are mismatched. | |
357 | [ISC-Bugs #31231] | |
358 | ||
d5d868e7 | 359 | - Remove an unused variable to keep compilers happy. |
8acc987b SR |
360 | [ISC-Bugs #31983] |
361 | ||
b89b8e16 SR |
362 | - Modify test makefiles to be more similar to standard makefiles |
363 | and comment out a currently unused test. | |
56c0e681 | 364 | [ISC-Bugs #32089] |
b89b8e16 | 365 | |
b95f1ee0 SR |
366 | Changes since 4.2.3 |
367 | ||
368 | ! Add a check for a null pointer before calling the regexec function. | |
dc6908b4 | 369 | Without this check we could, under some circumstances, pass |
b95f1ee0 | 370 | a null pointer to the regexec function causing it to segfault. |
317d1182 | 371 | Thanks to a report from BlueCat Networks. |
b95f1ee0 | 372 | [ISC-Bugs #26704]. |
846af1cd | 373 | CVE: CVE-2011-4539 |
b95f1ee0 | 374 | |
0ef9a46e SR |
375 | ! Modify the DDNS handling code. In a previous patch we added logging |
376 | code to the DDNS handling. This code included a bug that caused it | |
377 | to attempt to dereference a NULL pointer and eventually segfault. | |
378 | While reviewing the code as we addressed this problem, we determined | |
379 | that some of the updates to the lease structures would not work as | |
380 | planned since the structures being updated were in the process of | |
381 | being freed: these updates were removed. In addition we removed an | |
382 | incorrect call to the DDNS removal function that could cause a failure | |
383 | during the removal of DDNS information from the DNS server. | |
384 | Thanks to Jasper Jongmans for reporting this issue. | |

de6c9af6 SR |
388 | - Fixed the code that checks if an address the server is planning |
389 | to hand out is in a reserved range. This would appear as | |
390 | the server being out of addresses in pools with particular ranges. | |

413 | gcc 4.6 that may affect Ubuntu 11.10 users. [ISC-Bugs #27588] | |
414 | ||
d13db163 SR |
415 | - Modify the code that determines if an outstanding DDNS request |
416 | should be cancelled. This patch results in cancelling the | |
417 | outstanding request less often. It fixes the problem caused | |
cfc49463 | 418 | by a client doing a release where the TXT and PTR records |

448 | - Fix the NA and PD allocation code to handle the case where a client |
449 | provides a preference and the server doesn't have any addresses or | |
cfc49463 SR |
450 | prefixes available. Previously the server ignored the request with |

469 | Changes since 4.2.2 |

471 | - Fix the code that checks for an existing DDNS transaction to cancel | |
472 | when removing DDNS information, so that we will continue with the | |

494 | is already assigned to a different client. [ISC-Bugs #23948] | |
4a5bfeac SR |
495 | |
496 | - Add the option "--no-pid" to the client, relay and server code, | |
497 | to disable writing a pid file. Add the option "-pf pidfile" | |
498 | to the relay to allow the user to supply the pidfile name at | |
499 | runtime. Add the "with-relay6-pid-file" option to configure | |
500 | to allow the user to supply the pidfile name for the relay | |

502 | [ISC-Bugs #23351] [ISC-Bugs #17541] | |
5d082abd TM |
503 | |
504 | - 'dhclient' no longer waits a random interval after first starting up to | |
505 | begin in the INIT state. This conforms to RFC 2131, but elects not to | |
506 | implement a 'SHOULD' direction in section 4.1. The goal of this change | |
73c83820 | 507 | is to start up faster. [ISC-Bugs #19660] |
5d082abd TM |
508 | |
509 | - Added 'initial-delay' parameter that specifies maximum amount of time | |
510 | before client goes to the INIT state. The default value is 0. In previous | |
511 | versions of the code client could wait up to 5 seconds. The old behavior | |
512 | may be restored by using 'initial-delay 5;' in the client config file. | |
73c83820 | 513 | [ISC-Bugs #19660] |
5d082abd TM |
514 | |
515 | - ICMP ping-check should now sit closer to precisely the number of seconds | |
516 | configured (or default 1), due to making use of the new microsecond | |
517 | scale timer internally to dhcpd. This corrects a bug where the server | |
518 | may immediately timeout an ICMP ping-check if it was made late in the | |
73c83820 | 519 | current second. [ISC-Bugs #19660] |
5d082abd TM |
520 | |
521 | - The DHCP client will schedule renewal and rebinding events in | |
522 | microseconds if the DHCP server provided a lease-time that would result | |
523 | in sub-1-second timers. This corrects a bug where a 2-second or lower | |
524 | lease-time would cause the DHCP client to enter an infinite loop by | |
73c83820 | 525 | scheduling renewal at zero seconds. [ISC-Bugs #19660] |
5d082abd TM |
526 | |
527 | - Client lease records are recorded at most once every 15 seconds. This | |
528 | keeps the client from filling the lease database disk quickly on very small | |
73c83820 | 529 | lease times. [ISC-Bugs #19660] |
5d082abd TM |
530 | |
531 | - To defend against RFC 2131 non-compliant DHCP servers which fail to | |
532 | advertise a lease-time (either mangled, or zero in value) the DHCP | |
533 | client now adds the server to the reject list ACL and returns to INIT | |
534 | state to hopefully find an RFC 2131 compliant server (or retry in INIT | |
73c83820 | 535 | forever). [ISC-Bugs #19660] |
023fbaa0 TM |
536 | |
537 | - Parameters configured to evaluate from user defined function calls can | |
538 | now be correctly written to dhcpd.leases (as on 'on events' or dynamic | |
539 | host records inserted via OMAPI). [ISC-Bugs #22266] | |
540 | ||
541 | - If a 'next-server' parameter is configured in a dynamic host record via | |
542 | OMAPI as a domain name, the syntax written to disk is now correctly parsed | |
543 | upon restart. [ISC-Bugs #22266] | |
656b1ece TM |
544 | |
545 | - The DHCP server now responds to DHCPLEASEQUERY messages from agents using | |
546 | IP addresses not covered by a subnet in configuration. Whether or not to | |
547 | respond to such an agent is still governed by the 'allow leasequery;' | |
548 | configuration parameter, in the case of an agent not covered by a configured | |
549 | subnet the root configuration area is examined. Server now also returns | |
550 | vendor-class-id option, if client sent it. [ISC-Bugs #21094] | |

572 | handle unsed error return warnings for more versions of gcc. | |
573 | [ISC-Bugs #23196] - Modify the reply handling in the server code to | |
574 | send to a specified port rather than to the source port for the incoming | |
575 | message. Sending to the source port was test code that should have | |
576 | been removed. The previous functionality may be restored by defining | |

beaed73f SR |
620 | - DNS Update fix. A misconfigured server could crash during DNS update |
621 | processing if the configuration included overlapping pools or | |
622 | multiple fixed-address entries for a single address. This issue | |
623 | affected both IPv4 and IPv6. The fix allows a server to detect such | |
624 | conditions, provides the user with extra information and recommended | |
625 | steps to fix the problem. If the user enables the appropriate option | |
626 | in site.h then server will be terminated | |

4dc5a6b1 | 735 | |
3004baba SR |
736 | - Handle pipe failures more gracefully. Some OSes pass a SIGPIPE |
737 | signal to a process and will kill the process if the signal isn't | |
738 | caught. This patch adds code to turn off the SIGPIPE signal via | |
739 | a setsockopt() call. The signal is already being ignored as part | |
740 | of the ISC library. [ISC-Bugs #22269] | |
741 | ||
42cbff63 SR |
742 | - Restore printing of values in omshell to the style pre 21585. For |
743 | 21585 we changed the print routines to always display time values | |
39196512 SR |
744 | as a hex list. This had a side effect of printing all data strings |
745 | as a hex list. We shall investigate other ways of displaying time | |
746 | values more usefully. [ISC-Bugs #22626] | |

748 | ! Fix the handling of connection requests on the failover port. |
749 | Previously a connection request from a source that wasn't | |
750 | listed as a failover peer would cause the server to become | |

23d39ae2 SR |
755 | - Don't pass the ISC_R_INPROGRESS status to the omapi signal handlers. |
756 | Passing it through to the handlers caused the omshell program to fail | |
757 | to connect to the server. [ISC-Bugs #21839] | |
758 | ||
759 | - Fix the paranthesis in the code to process configuration statements | |
760 | beginning with "auth". The previous arrangement caused | |
761 | "auto-partner-down" to be processed incorrectly. [ISC-Bugs #21854] | |

e1a40211 SR |
767 | - When processing the format flags for a given option consume the |
768 | flag indicating an optional value correctly. A symptom of this | |
769 | bug was an infinite loop when trying to parse the slp-service-scope | |
770 | option. Thanks to a patch from Marius Tomaschewski. | |
771 | [ISC-Bugs #22055] | |
772 | ||
e7e17397 SR |
773 | - Disable the use of kqueue in the ISC library. This avoids a problem |
774 | between the fork and socket code that caused the dhcpd process to | |
775 | use all available cpu if the program daemonized itself. | |

786 | - Removed the restriction on using IPv6 addresses in IPv4 mode. This |
787 | allows IPv4 options which contain IPv6 addresses to be specified. For | |
788 | example the 6rd option can be specified and used like this: | |

822 | - A memory leak in ddns processing was closed. [ISC-Bugs #21377] |
823 | ||
d122accf SR |
824 | - Modify the exception handling for initial context creation. Previously |
825 | we would try and clean up before exiting. This could present problems | |
826 | when the cleanup required part of the context that wasn't available. It | |
827 | also didn't do much as we exited afterwards anyway. Now we simply log | |
828 | the error and exit. [ISC-Bugs #21093] | |
829 | ||
0d8c3d6e DH |
830 | - A bug was fixed that could cause the DHCPv6 server to advertise/assign a |
831 | previously allocated (active) lease to a client that has changed subnets, | |
832 | despite being on different shared networks. Dynamic prefixes specifically | |
833 | allocated in shared networks also now are not offered if the client has | |

840 | ||
841 | - Modify the determination of the default TTL to use for DDNS updates. | |
842 | The user may still configure the ttl via ddns-ttl. The default for | |
843 | both v4 and v6 is now 1/2 the (preferred) lease time with a limit. The | |
844 | previous defaults (1/2 lease time without a limit for v4 and a default | |
845 | value for v6) may be used by defining USE_OLD_DDNS_TTL in site.h | |

865 | - When constructing the DNS name structure from a text string append |
866 | the root to relative names. This satisfies a requirement in the DNS | |

873 | advised that these sources were contributed, and do not yet meet the | |
874 | high standards we place on production sources we include by default. | |
875 | As a result, the LDAP features are only included by using a compile-time | |
876 | option which defaults off, and if you enable it you do so under your | |
877 | own recognizance. We will be improving this software over time. | |

888 | reflect support for prefix delegation. | |
889 | ||
3da71461 SR |
890 | - Cleaned up some compiler warnings |
891 | ||
fdfebedf DH |
892 | - An optimization described in the failover protocol draft is now included, |
893 | which permits a DHCP server operating in communications-interrupted state | |
894 | to 'rewind' a lease to the state most recently transmitted to its peer, | |
895 | greatly increasing a server's endurance in communications-interrupted. | |
896 | This is supported using a new 'rewind state' record on the dhcpd.leases | |
897 | entry for each lease. | |
898 | ||
7aa153b8 SR |
899 | - Fix the trace code which was broken by the changes to the DDNS code. |

902 | ||
d340bc24 DH |
903 | - Failover port configuration can now be left to defaults (port 647) as |
904 | described in the -12 revision of the Failover draft (and assigned by | |
4b97eaff | 905 | IANA). Thanks in part to a patch from David Cantrell at Red Hat. |

907 | - If configured, dhclient may now transmit to an anycast MAC address, |
908 | rather than using a broadcast address. Thanks to a patch from David | |
909 | Cantrell at Red Hat. | |
910 | ||
8a3c1e33 PS |
911 | - Added client support for setting interface MTU and metric, thanks to |
912 | Roy "UberLord" Marples <roy@marples.name>. | |
913 | ||
a41d7a25 PS |
914 | - Added client -D option to specify DUID type to send. |
915 | ||
9e3eb22a DH |
916 | - A new failover configuration parameter has been introduced for those |
917 | environments where DHCP servers can be reasonably guaranteed to be | |
918 | "down" when the failover TCP socket is severed, "auto-partner-down". | |
919 | This parameter is not generally safe, and by default is disabled, so | |
920 | please carefully review the documentation of this parameter in the | |
921 | dhcpd.conf(5) manpage before determining to use it yourself. | |
922 | ||
33ea4622 DH |
923 | - Added a configuration function, 'gethostname()', which calls the system |
924 | function of the same name and presents the results as a data expression. | |
925 | This function can be used to incorporate the system level hostname of | |
926 | the system the DHCP software is operating on in responses or queries (such | |
927 | as including a failover partner's hostname in a dhcp message or binding | |
928 | scope, or having a DHCP client send any system hostname in the host-name or | |
929 | FQDN options by default). | |
930 | ||
5a671e87 DH |
931 | - The dhcp-renewal-time and dhcp-rebinding-time options may now be configured |
932 | for DHCPv4 operation and used independently of the dhcp-lease-time | |
933 | calculations. Invalid renew and rebinding times (e.g., greater than the | |
934 | determined lease time) are omitted. | |
935 | ||
98bf1607 | 936 | - Processing the DHCP to DNS server transactions in an asyncrhonous fashion. |
09afca0d | 937 | The DHCP server or client can now continue with its processing while |
98bf1607 | 938 | awaiting replies from the DNS server. |
c900c5b2 DH |
939 | |
940 | - The 'hardware [ethernet|etc] ...;' parameter in host records has been | |
941 | extended to attempt to match DHCPv6 clients by the last octets of a | |
942 | DUID-LL or DUID-LLT provided by the client. | |
943 | ||
59112e84 SR |
944 | Changes since 4.1.0 (bug fixes) |
945 | ||
62f6843d MA |
946 | - Remove infinite loop in token_print_indent_concat(). |
947 | ||
59112e84 SR |
948 | - Validate the argument to the -p option. |
949 | ||
47e6eb82 DH |
950 | - The notorious 'option <unknown> ... larger than buffer' log line, |
951 | which is seen in some malformed DHCP client packets, was modified. | |
952 | It now logs the universe name, and does not log the length values | |
953 | (which are bogus corruption read from the packet anyway). It also | |
954 | carries a hopefully more useful explanation. | |
955 | ||
159c89d7 EH |
956 | - Suppress spurious warnings from configure about --datarootdir |
957 | ||
1aa0fe5e DH |
958 | - A bug was fixed that caused the server not to answer some valid Solicit |
959 | and Request packets, if the dynamic range covering any requested addresses | |
960 | had been deleted from configuration. | |
961 | ||
cd51403d SR |
962 | - Update the code to deal with GCC 4.3. This included two sets of changes. |
963 | The first is to the configuration files to include the use of | |
571c38b0 | 964 | AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS. The second is to deal with return values that |
cd51403d SR |
965 | were being ignored. |
966 | ||
64e1823d DH |
967 | - The db-time-format option was documented in manpages. |
968 | ||
26e59ee9 DH |
969 | - Using reserved leases no longer results in 'lease with binding state |
970 | free not on its queue' error messages, thanks to a patch from Frode | |
971 | Nordahl. | |
972 | ||
70ea9345 PS |
973 | - Fix a build error in dhcrelay, using older versions of gcc with |
974 | dhcpv6 disabled. | |
975 | ||
8d7dca58 | 976 | - Two uninitialized stack structures are now memset to zero, thanks to a |
4b97eaff | 977 | patch from David Cantrell at Red Hat. |
819186b7 | 978 | |
f4534b17 DH |
979 | - Fixed a cosmetic bug where pretty-printing valid domain-search options would |
980 | result in an erroneous error log message ('garbage in format string'). | |
981 | ||
f9453d21 DH |
982 | - A bug in DLPI packet transmission (Solaris, HP/UX) that caused the server |
983 | to stop receiving packets is fixed. The same fix also means that the MAC | |
984 | address will no longer appear 'bogus' on DLPI-based systems. | |
985 | ||
986 | - A bug in select handling was discovered where the results of one select() | |
987 | call were discarded, causing the server to process the next select() call | |
988 | and use more system calls than required. This has been repaired - the | |
989 | sockets will be handled after the first return from select(), resulting in | |
990 | fewer system calls. | |
991 | ||
a3dcc0b1 DH |
992 | - The update-conflict-detection feature would leave an FQDN updated without |
993 | a DHCID (still currently implemented as a TXT RR). This would cause later | |
994 | expiration or release events to fail to remove the domain name. The feature | |
995 | now also inserts the client's up to date DHCID record, so records may safely | |
996 | be removed at expiration or release time. Thanks to a patch submitted by | |
997 | Christof Chen. | |
998 | ||
95fd7038 DH |
999 | - Memory leak in the load_balance_mine() function is fixed. This would |
1000 | leak ~20-30 octets per DHCPDISCOVER packet while failover was in use | |
1001 | and in normal state. | |
1002 | ||
1003 | - Various compilation fixes have been included for the memory related | |
1004 | DEBUG #defines in includes/site.h. | |
1005 | ||
8a3c1e33 PS |
1006 | - Fixed Linux client script 'unary operator expected' errors with DHCPv6. |
1007 | ||
1008 | - Fixed setting hostname in Linux hosts that require hostname argument | |
1009 | to be double-quoted. Also allow server-provided hostname to | |
1010 | override hostnames 'localhost' and '(none)'. | |
1011 | ||
dedde1ba DH |
1012 | - Fixed failover reconnection retry code to continue to retry to reconnect |
1013 | rather than restarting the listener. | |
1014 | ||
a57df74a DH |
1015 | - Compilation on Solaris with USE_SOCKETS defined in includes/site.h has |
1016 | been repaired. Other USE_ overrides should work better. | |
1017 | ||
1018 | - A check for the local flavor of IFNAMSIZ had a broken 'else' condition, | |
1019 | that probably still resulted in the correct behaviour (but wouldn't use | |
1020 | a larger defined value provided by the host OS). | |
1021 | ||
350576c5 DH |
1022 | - Fixed a bug where an OMAPI socket disconnection message would not result |
1023 | in scheduling a failover reconnection, if the link had not negotiated a | |
1024 | failover connect yet (e.g.: connection refused, asynch socket connect() | |
1025 | timeouts). | |
1026 | ||
792156a9 DH |
1027 | - A bug was fixed that caused the 'conflict-done' state to fail to be parsed |
1028 | in failover state records. | |
1029 | ||
8a4e543b DH |
1030 | ! A stack overflow vulnerability was fixed in dhclient that could allow |
1031 | remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands as root on the system, | |
1032 | or simply terminate the client, by providing an over-long subnet-mask | |
1b12d999 | 1033 | option. CERT VU#410676 - CVE-2009-0692 |
8a4e543b | 1034 | |
a1308b64 DH |
1035 | - Fixed a bug where relay agent options would never be returned when |
1036 | processing a DHCPINFORM. | |
1037 | ||
1b12d999 DH |
1038 | - Versions 3.0.x syntax with multiple name->code option definitions is now |
1039 | supported. Note that, similarly to 3.0.x, for by-code lookups only the | |
1040 | last option definition is used. | |
1041 | ||
d453265f PS |
1042 | - Fixed a bug where a time difference of greater than 60 seconds between a |
1043 | failover pair could cause the primary to crash on contact with the | |
1044 | secondary. Thanks to a patch from Steinar Haug. | |
1045 | ||
3e29af1e PS |
1046 | - Don't look for IPv6 interfaces on Linux when running in DHCPv4 mode. |
1047 | Thanks to patches from Matthew Newton and David Cantrell. | |
1048 | ||
b8d45c67 DH |
1049 | - Secondary servers in a failover pair will now perform ddns removals if |
1050 | they had performed ddns updates on a lease that is expiring, or was | |
1051 | released through the primary. As part of the same fix, stale binding scopes | |
1052 | will now be removed if a change in identity of a lease's active client is | |
1053 | detected, rather than simply if a lease is noticed to have expired (which it | |
1054 | may have expired without a failover server noticing in some situations). | |
1055 | ||
583c1c16 DH |
1056 | - A patch supplied by David Cantrell at RedHat was applied that detects |
1057 | invalid calling parameters given to the ns_name_ntop() function. | |
1058 | Specifically, it detects if the caller passed a pointer and size pair | |
1059 | that causes the pointer to integer-wrap past zero. | |
1060 | ||
e4e3a2ab DH |
1061 | ! Fixed a fenceposting bug when a client had two host records configured, |
1062 | one using 'uid' and the other using 'hardware ethernet'. CVE-2009-1892 | |
95f5d38c | 1063 | |
875e99dc SR |
1064 | - Fixed the check in the dhcp_interface_signal_handler routine to verify |
1065 | the existence of the linked signal handler before calling it. | |
1066 | ||
2267da84 DH |
1067 | - Both host and subnet6 configuration groups are now included whether a |
1068 | fixed-address6 (DHCPv6) is in use or not. Host scoped configuration takes | |
1069 | precedence. This fixes two bugs, one where host scoped configuration | |
1070 | would not be included from a non-fixed-address6 host record, and the equal | |
1071 | and opposite bug where subnet6 scoped configuration would not be used when | |
571c38b0 | 1072 | over-riding values were not present in a matching fixed-address6 host |
2267da84 DH |
1073 | configuration. |
1074 | ||
cd3f0b9b DH |
1075 | - ./configure now checks to ensure the intX_t and u_intX_t types are defined, |
1076 | correcting a compilation failure when using Sun's compiler. | |
1077 | ||
0493fdca SR |
1078 | - Modified the handling of a connection to avoid releasing the omapi io |
1079 | object for the connection while it is still in use. One symptom from | |
1080 | this error was a segfault when a failover secondary attempted to connect | |
1081 | to the failover primary if their clocks were not synchronized. | |
1082 | ||
95bba8b6 SR |
1083 | - Clean up to allow compilation with gcc 2.95.4 on FreeBSD. Remove an |
1084 | extra semi-colon from common/dns.c and moved setting a variable to NULL | |
1085 | in server/dhcpv6.c to allow the compiler to decide that the variable | |
1086 | was always properly set. | |
1087 | ||
adbef119 | 1088 | Changes since 4.1.0b1 |
ebf076fe EH |

a4ffedd1 DH |
1093 | Changes since 4.1.0a2 |
1094 | ||
1095 | - A cosmetic bug in DHCPDECLINE processing was fixed which caused all | |
1096 | successful DHCPDECLINEs to be logged as "not found" rather than | |
1097 | "abandoned". | |
1098 | ||
6ff3b26d FD |
1099 | - Added configuration file examples for DHCPv6. |
1100 | ||
1387545f DH |
1101 | - Some failover debugging #defines have been better defined and some |
1102 | high frequency messages moved to a deeper debugging symbol. | |
1103 | ||
1104 | - The CLTT parameter in failover is now only updated by client activity, | |
1105 | and not by failover binding updates (taking on the peer's CLTT). | |
1106 | ||
1107 | - Failover BNDUPD messages are now discarded if they conflict with an | |
d7ac7a27 | 1108 | update that has been transmitted, but not acknowledged. |
1387545f | 1109 | |
399d3dbe DH |
1110 | - A bug cleaning up unknown-xxx temporary option definitions was fixed. |
1111 | ||
fbcee149 DH |
1112 | - Delayed-ack is now a compile-time option, compiled out by default. |
1113 | This feature is simply too experimental for right now, and causes | |
1114 | some problems to some failover installations. We will revisit this | |
1115 | in future releases. | |
1116 | ||
f1672d89 DH |
1117 | - The !inet_pton() call in res_mkupdrec was adjusted to '<= 0' as |
1118 | inet_pton returns either 1, 0, or -1. | |
1119 | ||
236d3a99 DH |
1120 | - A dhclient-script for MacOS X has been included, which enables |
1121 | 'dhclient -6' support. | |
1122 | ||
efa5e6b9 DH |
1123 | - DDNS removal routines were updated so that the DHCID is not removed until |
1124 | the client has been deprived of all A and AAAA records (not only the last | |
1125 | one of either of those). This resolves a bug where dual stack clients | |
1126 | would not be able to regain their names after either expiration event. | |
1127 | ||
7d6180be | 1128 | Changes since 4.1.0a1 |
edcb5c46 EH |
1129 | |
1130 | - Corrected list of failover state values in dhcpd man page. | |
1131 | ||
51e7687f EH |
1132 | - Fixed a bug that caused some request types to be logged incorrectly. |
1133 | ||
20210a7b EH |
1134 | - Clients that sent a parameter request list containing the |
1135 | routers option before the subnet mask option were receiving | |
1136 | only the latter. Fixed. | |
1137 | ||
535485df EH |
1138 | - The server wasn't always sending the FQDN option when it should. |
1139 | ||
8fbb55ff DH |
1140 | - A partner-down failover server no longer emits 'peer holds all free leases' |
1141 | if it is able to newly-allocate one of the peer's leases. | |
1142 | ||
61220a00 EH |
1143 | - Fixed a coredump when adding a class via OMAPI. |
1144 | ||
c40e954c EH |
1145 | - Check whether files are zero length before trying to parse them. |
1146 | ||
63971a83 DH |
1147 | - Ari Edelkind's PARANOIA patch has been included and may be compiled in |
1148 | via two ./configure parameters, --enable-paranoia and | |
1149 | --enable-early-chroot. | |
1150 | ||
66cebfcb DH |
1151 | - ./configure was extended to cover many optional build features, such |
1152 | as failover, server tracing, debugging, and the execute() command. | |
1153 | ||
f8cbf390 DH |
1154 | - There is now a default 1/4 of a second scheduled delay between delayed |
1155 | fsync()'s, it can be configured by the max-ack-delay configuration | |
1156 | parameter. | |
1157 | ||
8269561d DH |
1158 | - A bug was fixed where the length of a hostname was miscalculated, so that |
1159 | hosts were given odd-looking domain names ("foo.bar.ba.example.com"). | |
1160 | ||
b445a411 DH |
1161 | - Shared network selection should be done from the innermost relay |
1162 | valid link-address field, rather than the outermost. | |
1163 | ||
bd72740e FD |
1164 | - Prefix pools are attached to shared network scopes. |
1165 | ||
9322442f FD |
1166 | - Merged IA_XX related structures. |
1167 | ||
8dea7ba7 FD |
1168 | - Add DHCPv6 files in configure. |
1169 | ||
4619c0a2 DH |
1170 | - A memory leak when using omapi has been fixed. |
1171 | ||
9ac4206a DH |
1172 | - DHCPv6 vendor-class options (VSIO) are now only sent when they appear |
1173 | on the DHCPv6 ORO. This resolves a bug where VSIO options were placed | |
1174 | in IA_NA encapsulated options fields. | |
1175 | ||
420d8b3f FD |
1176 | - Integrated client with stateless, temporary address and prefix delegation |
1177 | support. | |
1178 | ||
40ec5f38 DH |
1179 | - A double-dereference in dhclient transmission of DHCPDECLINEs was |
1180 | repaired. | |
1181 | ||
80097764 FD |
1182 | - Fix handling of format code 'Z'. |
1183 | ||
ffbaa880 FD |
1184 | - Support "-1" argument in DHCPv6. |
1185 | ||
7de20a95 EH |
1186 | - Merge DHCPv6-only "dhcrelay6" into general-purpose "dhcrelay" (use |
1187 | "-6" option to select DHCPv6 mode). | |
1188 | ||
d352732e EH |
1189 | - Fix handling of -A and -a flags in dhcrelay; it was failing to expand |
1190 | packet size as needed to add relay agent options. | |
1191 | ||
7d6180be DH |
1192 | - A bug in subnet6 parsing where options contained in subnet6 clauses would |
1193 | not be applied to clients addressed within that network was repaired. | |
1194 | ||
1195 | - When configuring a "subnet {}" or "subnet6 {}" without an explicit | |
1196 | shared-network enclosing it, the DHCP software would synthesize a | |
1197 | shared-network to contain the subnet. However, all configuration | |
1198 | parameters within the subnet more intuitively belong "to any client | |
1199 | on that interface", or rather the synthesized shared-network. So, | |
1200 | when a shared-network is synthesized, it is used to contain the | |
1201 | configuration present inside the subnet {} clause. This means that | |
1202 | the configuration will be valid for all clients on that network, not | |
1203 | just those addressed out of the stated subnet. If you intended the | |
1204 | opposite, the workaround is to explicitly configure an empty | |
1205 | shared-network. | |
1206 | ||
1207 | - A bug was fixed where Information-Request processing was not sourcing | |
1208 | configured option values. | |
1209 | ||
1210 | - A warning was added since the DHCPv6 processing software does not yet | |
1211 | support class statements. | |
1212 | ||
dd484ced DH |
1213 | - Compliation warnings on GCC 4.3 relating to bootp source address |
1214 | selection were repaired. | |
1215 | ||
ecddae64 DH |
1216 | - The v6 BSD socket method was updated to use a single UDP BSD socket |
1217 | no matter how many interfaces are involved, differentiating the | |
1218 | interfaces the packets were received on by the interface index supplied | |
1219 | by the OS. | |
1220 | ||
1221 | - The relay agent no longer listens to the All DHCP Servers Multicast | |
1222 | address. | |
1223 | ||
1224 | - A bug was fixed in data_string_sprintfa() where va_start was only called | |
1225 | once for two invocations of vsprintf() variants. | |
1226 | ||
d104d45b DH |
1227 | - ERO (RFC 4994) server support. |
1228 | ||
1229 | - Basic and partial DHCPv6 leasequery support. | |
1230 | ||
1231 | - Reliable DHCPv6 release (previous behavior, send release and exit, is | |
1232 | still available with dhclient -6 -1 -r). | |
1233 | ||
01a54c17 | 1234 | Changes since 4.0.0 (new features) |
3c12f746 | 1235 | |
6d7f9584 FD |
1236 | - Added DHCPv6 rapid commit support. |
1237 | ||
4cafb815 | 1238 | - Added explicit parser support for zero-length DHCP options, such as |
6d7f9584 | 1239 | rapid-commit, via format code 'Z'. |
4cafb815 | 1240 | |
022fe95e EH |
1241 | - It's now possible to update the "ends" field of a lease with OMAPI. |
1242 | This is useful if you want not only to release a lease, but also make | |
1243 | it available for reuse right away. Hat tip to Christof Chen. | |
1244 | ||
1dcc3612 SK |
1245 | - Fixed definition of the iaaddr hash functions to use the correct |
1246 | functions when referencing and dereferencing memory. | |
1247 | ||
aabfa4de FD |
1248 | - Some definitions not in phase with the IANA registry were updated. |
1249 | ||
0674055a FD |
1250 | - Allocated interface IDs are better controlled ('u' bit set to zero, |
1251 | reserved IDs avoided). | |
1252 | ||
b51c785f FD |
1253 | - Unicast options are taken into account only for RENEWs. |
1254 | ||
900405e9 FD |
1255 | - NoAddrsAvail answers to SOLICITs are always ADVERTISEs even when a SOLICIT |
1256 | carries a rapid-commit option. | |
1257 | ||
96b620e5 FD |
1258 | - Return in place of raise an impossible condition when one tries to release |
1259 | an empty active lease. | |
1260 | ||
be62cf06 FD |
1261 | - Timer granularity is now 1/100s in the DHCPv6 client. |
1262 | ||
01a54c17 EH |
1263 | - The dhclient-script was updated to create a host route for the default |
1264 | gateway if the supplied subnet mask for an IPv4 address was a /32. This | |
1265 | allows the client to work in 'captive' network environments, where the | |
1266 | operator does not want clients to crosstalk directly. | |
1267 | ||
1268 | - MINUS tokens should be parseable again. | |
1269 | ||
1270 | - Multiple (up to "delayed-ack x;" maximum) DHCPv4 packets are now queued and | |
1271 | released in bursts after single fsync() events when the upper limit is | |
1272 | reached or if the receiving sockets go dry. The practical upshot is | |
1273 | that fsync-coupled server performance is now multiplicitively increased. | |
1274 | The default delayed ack limit is 28. Thanks entirely to a patch from | |
1275 | Christof Chen. | |
1276 | ||
1277 | Changes since 4.0.0 (bug fixes) | |
1278 | ||
1279 | - DHCP now builds on AIX. | |
1280 | ||
1281 | - Exit with warning when DHCPv6-specific statements are used in the | |
1282 | config file but -6 is not specified. | |
1283 | ||
1284 | - Fixed "--version" flag in dhcrelay | |
1285 | ||
1286 | - The 'min-secs' configuration parameter's log message has been updated to | |
1287 | be more helpful. | |
1288 | ||
1289 | - The warning logged when an address range doesn't fit in the subnets | |
1290 | they were declared has been updated to be more helpful and identify the | |
1291 | typo in configuration that created the spanning addresses. | |
1292 | ||
1293 | - A bug in failover pool rebalancing that caused POOLREQ message ping-pongs | |
1294 | was repaired. | |
1295 | ||
1296 | - A flaw in failover pool rebalancing that could cause POOLREQ messages to | |
1297 | be sent outside of the min-balance/max-balance scheduled intervals has | |
1298 | been repaired. | |
1299 | ||
1300 | - A cosmetic bug during potential-conflict recovery that caused the peer's | |
1301 | 'conflict-done' state message to be logged as 'unknown-state' has been | |
1302 | repaired. It is now logged correctly. | |
1303 | ||
49f61135 DH |
1304 | - A bug was fixed where the 'giaddr' may be used to find the client's subnet |
1305 | rather than its own 'ciaddr'. | |
1306 | ||
41d4652f DH |
1307 | - A log message was introduced to clarify the situation where a failover |
1308 | 'address' parameter (the server's local address) did not resolve to an | |
1309 | IPv4 address. | |
1310 | ||
2c9bf1f4 DH |
1311 | - The minimum site code value was set to 224 in 3.1.0 to track RFC3942. This |
1312 | broke a lot of legacy site local configurations. The new code in place will | |
1313 | track site local space minimum option codes and logs a warning to encourage | |
1314 | updates and exploration of site local code migration problems. Option | |
1315 | codes less than 128 in site local spaces remain inaccessible. | |
1316 | ||
1317 | - A possible relay agent option bug was repaired where random server | |
1318 | initialization state may have been used to signal the relay agent | |
1319 | information options sub-option code for the 'END' of the option space. | |
1320 | ||
cff9b78f SK |
1321 | - Fixes to allow code to compile and run on Solaris 9. |
1322 | ||
c4d29896 SK |
1323 | - Fixes to allow code to compile on Mac OS X Leopard (10.5). |
1324 | ||
57fcb8d9 SK |
1325 | - When server is configured with options that it overrides, a warning is |
1326 | issued when the configuration file is read, rather than at the time the | |
1327 | option is overridden. This was important, because the warning was given | |
1328 | every time the option was overridden, which could create a lot of | |
1329 | unnecessary logging. | |
1330 | ||
219a65eb DH |
1331 | - Fixed a compilation problems on platforms that define a value for FDDI, |
1332 | which conflicts with a dhcp configuration syntax token by the same name. | |
1333 | ||
ffdf3c8c DH |
1334 | - When a failover server suspects it has encountered a peer running a |
1335 | version 3.0.x failover server, a warning that the failover wire protocol | |
1336 | is incompatible is printed. | |
1337 | ||
1338 | - The failover server no longer issues a floating point error if it encounters | |
1339 | a previously undefined option code. | |
1340 | ||
00a002fc MA |
1341 | - Fix startup error messages to report a missing "subnet6 declaration", rather |
1342 | than a missing "subnet declaration", when running as a DHCPv6 server. | |
1343 | ||
7e9f7a1b FD |
1344 | - DHCPv6 client timestamp in DUID was based on the year 1970 rather |
1345 | than the year 2000. | |
1346 | ||
e2cfde76 FD |
1347 | - Warn when attempting to use a hardware parameter in DHCPv6. |
1348 | ||
cabdb9b1 FD |
1349 | - DHCPv6 released resources are now marked as released by the client. |
1350 | ||
5d89d60f FD |
1351 | - 'Soft' bindings have no more side-effects. |
1352 | ||
61d75ea2 DH |
1353 | Changes since 4.0.0b3 |
1354 | ||
1355 | - The reverse dns name for PTR updates on IPv6 addresses has been fixed to | |
1356 | use ip6.arpa. rather than default to in-addr.arpa and require user | |
1357 | configuration. | |
76db44f9 | 1358 | |
e32529a5 EH |
1359 | - dhc6_lease_destroy() and dhc6_ia_destroy() now set lease and IA pointers |
1360 | to NULL after freeing, to prevent subsequent accesses to freed memory. | |
1361 | ||
76db44f9 SK |
1362 | - The DHCPv6 server would not send the preference option unless the |
1363 | client requested it, via the ORO. This has been fixed, so the DHCPv6 | |
1364 | server will always send the preference value if it is configured. | |
e4a6be15 | 1365 | |
6f76de58 SK |
1366 | - When addresses were passed as hints to the server in an IA, they were |
1367 | incorrectly handled, sometimes being treated as an error. Now the | |
1368 | server will treat these as hints and ignore them if it cannot supply | |
1369 | a requested address. | |
1370 | ||
703873ab DH |
1371 | - If the client had multiple addresses, and one expired (was not renewed |
1372 | by the server), the client would continue to attempt to renew the same | |
1373 | old address over and over. Now, the client will omit any expired | |
1374 | addresses from future Confirm, Renew, or Rebind messages. | |
1375 | ||
1376 | - dhclient -6 will now select renew/rebind timers based upon the longest | |
1377 | address expiration time rather than the shortest expiration time, in | |
1378 | order to avoid cascading renewals in the event a server elects not to | |
1379 | extend one of multiple IAADDR leases. | |
1380 | ||
b024480e DH |
1381 | - The server now limits clients that request multiple addresses to one |
1382 | address per IA by default, which can be adjusted through the | |
1383 | "limit-addrs-per-ia" configuration option. | |
1384 | ||
c0216cb7 DH |
1385 | - The DHCPv6 client now issues fresh transaction IDs on Renew and Rebind |
1386 | message exchanges, rather than using the most recent ID. | |
1387 | ||
1ac57173 FD |
1388 | - The DHCPv6 server now replies to Information-Request messages. |
1389 | ||
83835822 DH |
1390 | - A bug was fixed in the dhclient-script for BSDs to correctly carry error |
1391 | codes through some conditions. | |
1392 | ||
c54db708 FD |
1393 | - The parsing of some options in the dhclient lease file, in particular |
1394 | the success DHCPv6 status-code, was fixed. | |
1395 | ||
e5d83524 DH |
1396 | - A bug was fixed that caused the DHCPv6 ORO option to be corrupted with |
1397 | seemingly random values. | |
1398 | ||
821f2dda DH |
1399 | - A reference overleak in DHCPv6 shared network processing was repaired. |
1400 | ||
f8b3c6f4 DH |
1401 | - ./configure now autodetects local database locations rather than trying |
1402 | to put dhcpd.leases and dhclient.leases in /usr/local/var/db, which no | |
1403 | one ever has. | |
1404 | ||
b9137d42 SK |
1405 | - Regression fix for bug where server advertised a IPv6 address in |
1406 | response to a SOLICIT but would not return the address in response | |
1407 | to a REQUEST. | |
1408 | ||
9f1d5a2f DH |
1409 | - A bug was fixed where the DHCPv6 server puts the NoAddrsAvail status |
1410 | code in the IA_NA was fixed. The status code now appears in the root | |
1411 | level. | |
1412 | ||
e4a6be15 DH |
1413 | Changes since 4.0.0b2 |
1414 | ||
65cf86d7 EH |
1415 | - Clarified error message when lease limit exceeded |
1416 | ||
b1d3778c DH |
1417 | - Relative time may now be used as a qualifier for 'allow' and 'deny' access |
1418 | control lists. These directives may be used to assist in re-addressing | |
1419 | address pools without having to constantly reconfigure the server. Please | |
1420 | see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more information on allow/deny 'after time' syntax. | |
1421 | Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen. | |
1422 | ||
bead14ea DH |
1423 | - The server will now include multiple IA_NA's and multiple IAADDRs within |
1424 | them, if advertised by the client. It still only seeks to allocate one | |
1425 | new address. | |
1426 | ||
f765ec36 SK |
1427 | Changes since 4.0.0b1 |
1428 | ||
75135a3f EH |
1429 | - Use different paths for PID and lease files when running in DHCPv4 |
1430 | or DHCPv6 mode, so that servers for both protcols can be run | |
1431 | simultaneously on a single interface. | |
1432 | ||
5c2d55c7 EH |
1433 | - Fixed a buffer overflow error which could have allowed a denial |
1434 | of service under unusual server configurations | |
1435 | ||
1436 | - Eliminated a spurious error message from the client | |
1437 | ||
f765ec36 SK |
1438 | - A number of bugs with the internal handling of lease state on the |
1439 | server have been fixed. Some of these could cause server crashes. | |
fa9b593d | 1440 | |
edb1283e DH |
1441 | - The peer_wants_leases() changes pulled up from 3.1.0 were corrected, |
1442 | 'never used' leases will no longer consistently shift between servers | |
1443 | on every pool rebalance run. | |
1444 | ||
c71c6399 DH |
1445 | - sendmsg()/recvmsg() control buffers are now declared in such a way to |
1446 | ensure they are correctly aligned on all (esp. 64-bit) architectures. | |
1447 | ||
5279b8f3 DH |
1448 | - The client leasing subsystem was streamlined and corrected to account |
1449 | more closely for changes in client link attachment selection. | |
1450 | ||
ab3a540f | 1451 | Changes since 4.0.0a3 |
763cba6b | 1452 | |
884a458f SK |
1453 | - The DHCP server no longer requires a "ddns-update-style" statement, |
1454 | and now defaults to "none", which means DNS updates are disabled. | |
1455 | ||
fa9b593d DH |
1456 | - Log messages when failover peer names mismatch have been improved to |
1457 | point out the problem. | |
1458 | ||
1b5053b5 SK |
1459 | - Bug where server advertised a IPv6 address in response to a SOLICIT |
1460 | but would not return the address in response to a REQUEST. Thanks to | |
1461 | Dennis Kou for finding the bug. | |
1462 | ||
c886c298 SK |
1463 | - Fixed an error causing the server to lock up on lease expiration, |
1464 | reported independently by Jothilingam Vasu and Dennis Kou. | |
1465 | ||
eaf7eb17 DH |
1466 | - Fixed a ./configure bug where compile tests were failing due to |
1467 | "-Werror" (unused variable) rather than the actual test failure. Lead | |
1468 | to inconsistent and unworkable auto-configurations. | |
1469 | ||
109e00db DH |
1470 | - Compilation with DLPI and -Werror has been repaired. |
1471 | ||
3ad9d48f SK |
1472 | - Error in decoding IA_NA option if multiple interfaces are present |
1473 | fixed by Marcus Goller. | |
1474 | ||
8eab95f2 DH |
1475 | - DHCPv6 server Confirm message processing has been enhanced - it no |
1476 | longer replies only to clients with host {} records, it now replies | |
1477 | as directed in RFC3315 section 18.2.2 - that is, to all clients | |
1478 | regardless of the existence of bindings. | |
1479 | ||
07b9a351 DH |
1480 | - A core dump during expired lease cleanup has been repaired. |
1481 | ||
7285af30 DH |
1482 | - DDNS updates state information are now stored in 'binding scopes' that |
1483 | follow the leases through their lifecycles. This enables DDNS teardowns | |
1484 | on leases that are assigned and expired inbetween a server restart (the | |
1485 | state is recovered from dhcpd.leases). Arbitrary user-specified binding | |
1486 | scopes ('set var = "value";') are not yet supported. | |
1487 | ||
2394b26b DH |
1488 | - Additional compilation problems on HP/UX have been repaired. |
1489 | ||
ab3a540f SK |
1490 | Changes since 4.0.0a2 |
1491 | ||
97050349 SK |
1492 | - Fix for startup where there are no IPv4 addresses on an interface. |
1493 | Thanks to Marcus Goller for reporting the bug. | |
1494 | ||
763cba6b | 1495 | - Fixed file descriptor leak on listen failure. Thanks to Tom Clark. |
e889ded1 | 1496 | |
237f8d3a SK |
1497 | - Bug in server configuration parser caused server to get stuck on |
1498 | startup for certain bad pool declarations. Thanks to Guillaume | |
1499 | Knispel for the bug report and fix. | |
1500 | ||
28868515 SK |
1501 | - Code cleaned to remove warnings reported by "gcc -Wall". |
1502 | ||
d00d373a SK |
1503 | - DHCPv6 is now the default. You can disable DHCPv6 support using the |
1504 | "--disable-dhcpv6" flag when you run the configure script. | |
1505 | ||
8dfd5744 DH |
1506 | - An internal database inconsistency bug was repaired where the server |
1507 | would segfault if a client attempted to renew a lease that had been | |
1508 | loaded from persistent storage. | |
1509 | ||
45d545f0 | 1510 | - 'request' and 'also request' syntaxes have been added to accommodate |
0c20eab3 DH |
1511 | the DHCPv6 client configuration. 'send dhcp6.oro' is no longer |
1512 | necessary. | |
1513 | ||
f800f4f6 SK |
1514 | - Bug fixed where configuration file parsing did not work with |
1515 | zero-length options; this made it impossible to set the | |
1516 | rapid-commit option. | |
1517 | ||
845e9677 DH |
1518 | - Bogus messages about host records with IPv4 fixed-addresses being of |
1519 | non-128-bits in length were removed. | |
1520 | ||
76c944da SK |
1521 | Changes since 4.0.0a1 |
1522 | ||
71765b58 SK |
1523 | - Bug in octal parsing fixed. Thanks to Bernd Fuhrmann for the report |
1524 | and fix. | |
1525 | ||
847e7000 SK |
1526 | - Autoconf now supplies proper flags for Solaris DHCPv6 builds. |
1527 | ||
bda33169 SK |
1528 | - Fix for parsing error on some IPv6 addresses. |
1529 | ||
9b21e73e SK |
1530 | - Invalid CIDR representation for IPv6 subnets or ranges now checked |
1531 | for when loading configuration. | |
1532 | ||
8da06bb1 DH |
1533 | - Compilation on HP/UX has been repaired. The changes should generally |
1534 | apply to any architecture that supplies SIOCGLIFCONF but does not | |
1535 | use 'struct lifconf' structures to pass values. | |
1536 | ||
dd328225 DH |
1537 | - Two new operators, ~= and ~~, have been integrated to implement |
1538 | boolean matches by regular expression (such as may be used in | |
1539 | class matching statements). Thanks to a patch by Alexandr S. | |
1540 | Agranovsky, which underwent slight modification. | |
1541 | ||
76c944da SK |
1542 | - Fix for icmp packets on 64-bit systems (bug introduced in 4.0). |
1543 | ||
f796f70a DH |
1544 | - A bug was fixed in interface discovery wherein an error identifying |
1545 | a server-configured interface with no IPv4 addresses would SEGV. | |
76c944da | 1546 | |
c11f349d EH |
1547 | - Fixed a bug in which write_lease() might report a failure incorrectly |
1548 | ||
af5fa176 EH |
1549 | - Added support for DHCPv6 Release messages |
1550 | ||
1551 | - Added -x option to dhclient, which triggers dhclient processes | |
1552 | to exit gracefully without releasing leases first | |
1553 | ||
a546f2a7 EH |
1554 | - All binaries (client, server, relay) now change directories |
1555 | to / before going into daemon mode, so as not to hold $CWD open | |
1556 | ||
b55d0d5f EH |
1557 | - Fixed a bug parsing DHCPv6 client-id's in host-identifier statements |
1558 | ||
26be82af DH |
1559 | - Fixed a bug with the 'ddns-updates' boolean server configuration |
1560 | parameter, which caused the server to fail. | |
1561 | ||
98bd7ca0 DH |
1562 | Changes since 4.0.0-20070413 |
1563 | ||
d9b43370 SK |
1564 | - Old (expired) leases are now cleaned. |
1565 | ||
8c1752d2 DH |
1566 | - IPv6 subnets now have support for arbitrary allocation ranges via |
1567 | a new 'range6' configuration directive. | |
1568 | ||
98bd7ca0 DH |
1569 | - An obviated option code hash lookup to find D6O_CLIENTID was removed. |
1570 | ||
a512d11b DH |
1571 | - Corrected some situations where variables might be used without being |
1572 | initialized. | |
1573 | ||
1574 | - Silenced several other compiler warnings. | |
1575 | ||
1576 | - Include the more standard sys/uio.h rather than rely upon other | |
f66f02cc DH |
1577 | header files to include it (fixes a BSD 4.2 compile failure). |
1578 | ||
1579 | - Duplicate dhclient-script updates for DHCPv6 to all provided scripts. | |
a512d11b | 1580 | |
4ba58919 DH |
1581 | - DHCPv4 I/O methods that failed to sense hardware address were corrected. |
1582 | ||
1583 | - DHCPv4 is now the default (as documented) rather than DHCPv6. The default | |
1584 | was set to DHCPv6 to facilitate ease early development, and forgotten. | |
1585 | ||
1586 | - Corrected a segmentation violation in DHCPv4 socket processing. | |
1587 | ||
8ea19a71 | 1588 | - dhclient will now fork() into the background once it binds to an |
45d545f0 | 1589 | IPv6 address, or immediately if the -n flag is supplied. |
8ea19a71 DH |
1590 | |
1591 | - -q is now the default behaviour on dhclient, with -d or -v enabling | |
1592 | non-quiet (stderr logging) mode. | |
1593 | ||
2cf8d0bd DH |
1594 | - Fix documentation of the domain-search atom (quoted, with commas). |
1595 | ||
1596 | - Document DHCPv6 options presently in the default table. | |
1597 | ||
fe5b0fdd DH |
1598 | - Replaced ./configure shellscripting with GNU Autoconf. |
1599 | ||
98bd7ca0 DH |
1600 | Changes since 3.1.0 (NEW FEATURES) |
1601 | ||
1602 | - DHCPv6 Client and Server protocol support. Use '-6' to run the daemons | |
1603 | as v6-only. Use '-4' to run the daemons as v4-only (default. There is | |
1604 | no support currently for both. | |
1605 | ||
1606 | - Server support for multiple IA_NA options, containing at most one | |
1607 | IAADDR option. | |
1608 | ||
1609 | - Client support for one IA_NA option, containing any number of IAADDR | |
1610 | options. | |
1611 | ||
1612 | - Server support for the DHCPv6 Information-request message. | |
1613 | ||
1614 | - Inappropriate unicast DHCPv6 messages sent to the server are now | |
1615 | discarded, and this has rearchitected the IO system slightly. | |
1616 | ||
1617 | - The DHCPv6 server DUID defaults to type 1, is persistently stored in | |
1618 | the leases database, and can be over-ridden (either completely, or by | |
1619 | specifying type 1 or type 2). | |
1620 | ||
1621 | - The server only uses Rapid-Commit if it has been configured with the | |
1622 | Rapid-Commit option and the client requests it. | |
1623 | ||
1624 | - DDNS support. We now update AAAA records in the same place we would | |
1625 | update A records, if we have an IPv6 address. We also generate IP6.ARPA | |
1626 | style names for PTR records if we're dealing with an IPv6 address. Both | |
1627 | A and AAAA updates are done using the same 'fqdn.' virtual option space | |
1628 | (although the DHCPv4 FQDN and DHCPv6 FQDN options are formatted | |
1629 | differently, they both use the same code here). | |
1630 | ||
1631 | - The Linux dhclient-script attempts to set and remove assigned addresses, | |
1632 | and to configure /etc/resolv.conf from nameserver and domain name | |
1633 | configurations. It can be extended to configure other parameters. | |
1634 | ||
1635 | - Initial DHCPv6 lease support. | |
1636 | ||
1637 | - The IO system now tracks all local IP addresses, so that the DHCP | |
1638 | applications (particularly the dhcrelay) can discern between what frames | |
1639 | were transmitted to it, and what frames are being carried through it which | |
1640 | it should not intercept. | |
1641 | ||
1418fd11 DH |
1642 | Changes since 3.1.0 (Maintenance) |
1643 | ||
1644 | - A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for virgin leases always | |
1645 | mapped to the primary. Virgin leases now have an interleaved preference | |
1646 | between primary and secondary. | |
1647 | ||
1648 | - A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for clients with no client | |
1649 | identifier was sometimes mishashed to the peer. Load balancing during | |
1650 | runtime and pool rebalancing were opposing. | |
1651 | ||
aa3e348e DH |
1652 | - An assertion in lease counting relating to reserved leases was repaired. |
1653 | ||
e9c59645 DH |
1654 | - The subnet-mask option inclusion now conforms with RFC2132 section 3.3; |
1655 | it will only appear prior to the routers option if it is present on the | |
1656 | Parameter-Request-List. The subnet-mask option will also only be | |
1657 | included by default (if it is not on the PRL) in response to DISCOVER | |
1658 | or REQUEST messages. | |
1659 | ||
1660 | - The FQDN option is only supplied if the client supplied an FQDN option or | |
1661 | if the FQDN option was explicitly requested on the PRL. | |
1662 | ||
c104546d DH |
1663 | - Dynamic BOOTP leases are now load balanced in failover. |
1664 | ||
b9d0cc05 DH |
1665 | Changes since 3.1.0rc1 |
1666 | ||
1667 | - The parse warning that 'deny dyanmic bootp;' must be configured for | |
1668 | failover protected subnets was removed. | |
1669 | ||
a512cc3a DH |
1670 | Changes since 3.1.0b2 |
1671 | ||
1672 | - Failover rebalance events no longer play ping pong with round errors | |
1673 | (moving leases between free and back to backup where there are an | |
1674 | odd number of leases). | |
1675 | ||
1676 | - The 'pool' log line has been split into two messages, one before the | |
1677 | rebalance run, and one after. | |
1678 | ||
1679 | - Any queued BNDACKs are transmitted before transmitting new BNDUPDs. | |
1680 | This enforces the correct sequence of events for the remote server | |
1681 | processing these messages. | |
1682 | ||
fe5b0fdd | 1683 | Changes since 3.1.0b1 |
27837f95 | 1684 | |
74dc3e0b EH |
1685 | - Fixed a bug that caused OMAPI clients to freeze when opening lease |
1686 | objects. | |
1687 | ||
1ba87b37 EH |
1688 | - A new server config option "fqdn-reply" specifies whether the server |
1689 | should send out option 81 (FQDN). Defaults to "on". If set to "off", | |
1690 | the FQDN option is not sent, even if the client requested it. This is | |
1691 | needed because some clients misbehave otherwise. Thanks to Christof Chen | |
1692 | at Allianz. | |
1693 | ||
a58da042 EH |
1694 | - Allow trace output files (-tf option) to be overwritten, rather than |
1695 | crashing dhcpd if the file already exists | |
1696 | ||
61252edf EH |
1697 | - A bug was fixed that caused dhcpd to segfault if a pool was declared |
1698 | outside the scope of a subnet in dhcpd.conf. | |
1699 | ||
27837f95 DH |
1700 | - Some uninitialized values were repaired in dhcpleasequery.c that |
1701 | caused the server to abort. | |
1702 | ||
4d2eaafb DH |
1703 | - A new server config option, 'do-reverse-updates', has been added |
1704 | which causes the server to abstain from performing updates on PTR | |
1705 | records. Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen at Allianz. | |
1706 | ||
06211b40 DH |
1707 | - A bug was repaired in subencapsulation support, where spaces separated |
1708 | by empty spaces would not get included. | |
1709 | ||
d6614ea2 DH |
1710 | - A bug in dhclient was repaired which caused it to send parameter request |
1711 | lists of 55 bytes in length no matter how long the declared PRL was. | |
1712 | ||
132d38f2 DH |
1713 | - 'dhcp.c(3953): non-null pointer' has been repaired. This fixes a flaw |
1714 | wherein the DHCPv4 server may ignore a configured server-identifier. | |
1715 | ||
fc3b9c90 DH |
1716 | - A flaw in failover startup sequences was repaired that sometimes left |
1717 | the primary DHCP server's pool rebalance schedules unscheduled. | |
1718 | ||
c9feb859 DH |
1719 | - Corrected a flaw that broke encapsulated spaces included due to presence |
1720 | on the parameter request list. | |
1721 | ||
c57db45c SK |
1722 | Changes since 3.1.0a3 |
1723 | ||
1724 | - Some spelling fixes. | |
98311e4b | 1725 | |
bd2bc2fa DH |
1726 | Changes since 3.1.0a2 |
1727 | ||
1728 | - A bug was fixed where attempting to permit leasequeries results in a | |
1729 | fatal internal error, "Unable to find server option 49". | |
1730 | ||
85edef5c DH |
1731 | - A bug was fixed in dhclient rendering the textual output form of the |
1732 | domain-search option syntax. | |
1733 | ||
bdddcb7d DH |
1734 | Changes since 3.1.0a1 |
1735 | ||
1736 | - A bug in the FQDN universe that added FQDN codes to the NWIP universe's | |
1737 | hash table was repaired. | |
1738 | ||
616d67cb DH |
1739 | - The servers now try harder to transmit pending binding updates when |
1740 | entering normal state. | |
1741 | ||
1742 | - UPDREQ/UPDREQALL handling was optimized - it no longer dequeues and | |
1743 | requeues all pending updates. This should reduce the number of spurious | |
66c8f734 DH |
1744 | 'xid mismatch' log messages. |
1745 | ||
1746 | - An option definition referencing leak was fixed, which resulted in early | |
1747 | termination of dhclient upon the renewal event. | |
616d67cb | 1748 | |
6708d944 DH |
1749 | - Some default hash table sizes were tweaked, some upwards, some downwards. |
1750 | 3.1.0a1's tables resulted in a reduction in default server memory use. | |
1751 | The new selected values provide more of a zero sum (increasing the size | |
1752 | of tables likely to be populated, decreasing the size of tables unlikely). | |
1753 | ||
45d545f0 | 1754 | - Lease structures appear in three separate hashes: by IP address, by UID, |
6708d944 DH |
1755 | and by hardware address. One type of table was used for all three, and |
1756 | improvements to IP address hashing were applied to all three (so UID and | |
1757 | hardware addresses were treated like 4-byte integers). There are now two | |
1758 | types of tables, and the uid/hw hashes use functions more appropriate | |
1759 | to their needs. | |
1760 | ||
1761 | - The max-lease-misbalance percentage no longer causes scheduled rebalance | |
1762 | runs to be skipped: it still governs the schedule, but every scheduled | |
1763 | run will attempt balance. | |
1764 | ||
a7ee93fe DH |
1765 | - A segfault bug in recursive encapsulation support has been corrected. |
1766 | ||
98311e4b DH |
1767 | Changes since 3.0 (New Features) |
1768 | ||
1769 | - A workaround for certain STSN servers that send a mangled domain-name | |
1770 | option was introduced for dhclient. The client will now accept corrupted | |
1771 | server responses, if they contain a valid DHCP_MESSAGE_TYPE (OFFER, ACK, | |
1772 | or NAK). The server will continue to not accept corrupt client packets. | |
1773 | ||
98bd7ca0 | 1774 | - Support for 'reserved' (pseudo-static) and BOOTP leases via failover |
a55ccdd0 | 1775 | was introduced. |
98311e4b DH |
1776 | |
1777 | - Support for adding, removing, and managing class and subclass statements | |
1778 | via OMAPI. | |
1779 | ||
a55ccdd0 DH |
1780 | - The failover implementation was updated to comply with revision 12 of |
1781 | the protocol draft. | |
1782 | ||
98311e4b DH |
1783 | - 'make install' now creates the initial zero-length dhcpd.leases file if |
1784 | one does not already exist on the system. | |
1785 | ||
b43c87ad | 1786 | - RFC3942 compliance, site-local option spaces start at 224 now, not 128. |
b43c87ad | 1787 | |
0b17f049 DH |
1788 | - The Load Balance Algorithm was misimplemented. The current implementation |
1789 | matches RFC 3074. | |
1790 | ||
2727c1cf DH |
1791 | - lcase() and ucase() configuration expressions have been added which adjust |
1792 | their arguments from upper to lower and lower to upper cases respectively. | |
2714a8ef | 1793 | Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz. |
2727c1cf | 1794 | |
febbd402 DH |
1795 | - The dhclient 'reject ...;' statement, which rejects leases given by named |
1796 | server-identifiers, now permits address ranges to be specified in CIDR | |
7d7073e7 | 1797 | notation. Thanks to a patch from David Boyce. |
febbd402 | 1798 | |
ee912528 DH |
1799 | - The subnet-mask option is now supplied by default, but at lowest |
1800 | priority. This helps a small minority of clients that provide parameter | |
1801 | request lists, but do not list the subnet-mask option because they were | |
1802 | designed to interoperate with a server that behaves in this manner. | |
1803 | ||
1804 | - The FQDN option is similarly supplied even if it does not appear on the | |
1805 | parameter request list, but not to the exclusion of options that do | |
1806 | appear at the parameter request list. Up until now it had ultimate | |
1807 | priority over the client's parameter request list. | |
1808 | ||
f7fdb216 | 1809 | - Varying option space code and length bit widths (8/16/32) are now |
51202707 | 1810 | supported. This is a milestone in achieving RFC 3925 "VIVSO" and |
f7fdb216 DH |
1811 | DHCPv6 support. |
1812 | ||
5e864416 DH |
1813 | - A new common (server or client) option, 'db-time-format local;', has |
1814 | been added which prints the local time in /var/db/dhcpd.leases rather | |
1815 | than UTC. Thanks to a patch from Ken Lalonde. | |
1816 | ||
b500bd4c DH |
1817 | - Some patches to improve DHCP Server startup speed from Andrew Matheson |
1818 | have been incorporated. | |
1819 | ||
2426234f DH |
1820 | - Failover pairs now implement 'MAC Affinity' on leases moving from the |
1821 | active to free states. Leases that belonged to the failover secondary | |
1822 | are moved to BACKUP state rather than FREE upon exiting EXPIRED state. | |
1823 | If lease rebalancing must move leases, it tries first to move leases | |
1824 | that belong to the peer in need. | |
1825 | ||
1826 | - The server no longer sends POOLREQ messages unless the pool is severely | |
1827 | misbalanced in the peer's favor (see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more details). | |
1828 | ||
1829 | - Pool rebalance events no longer happen upon successfully allocating a | |
1830 | lease. Instead, they happen on a schedule. See 'man dhcpd.conf' for the | |
1831 | min-balance and max-balance statements for more information. | |
1832 | ||
334bf491 DH |
1833 | - The DHCP Relay Agent Information Option / Link Selection Sub-Option |
1834 | is now supported. (See RFC3527 for details). | |
1835 | ||
3004bebf DH |
1836 | - A new DDNS related server option, update-conflict-detection, has been |
1837 | added. If this option is enabled, dhcpd will perform normal DHCID | |
1838 | conflict resolution (the default). If this option is disabled, it will | |
1839 | instead trust the assigned name implicitly (removing any other bindings | |
1840 | on that name). This option has not been made available in dhclient. | |
1841 | ||
567e8561 DH |
1842 | - In those cases where the DHCP software manufactures an IP header (to |
1843 | transmit via bpf, lpf, etc), the IP TTL the software selects has been | |
1844 | increased from 16 to 128. This is intended to match Microsoft Windows | |
1845 | DHCP Client behaviour, to increase compatibility. | |
1846 | ||
a396d25f DH |
1847 | - 'ignore client-updates;' now has behaviour that is different from |
1848 | 'deny client-updates;'. The client's request is not truly ignored, | |
1849 | rather it is encouraged. Should this value be configured, the server | |
1850 | updates DNS as though client-updates were set to 'deny'. That is, it | |
1851 | enters into DNS whatever it is configured to do already, provided it is | |
1852 | configured to. Then it sends a response to the client that lets the | |
1853 | client believe it is performing client updates (which it will), probably | |
1854 | for a different name. In essence, this lets the client do as it will, | |
1855 | ignoring this aspect of their request. | |
1856 | ||
dba5803b DH |
1857 | - Support for compressed 'domain name list' style DHCP option contents, and |
1858 | in particular the domain search option (#119) was added. | |
1859 | ||
41e45067 | 1860 | - The DHCP LEASEQUERY protocol as defined in RFC4388 is now implemented. |
6d103865 SK |
1861 | LEASEQUERY lets you query the DHCP server for information about a lease, |
1862 | using either an IP address, MAC address, or client identifier. Thanks | |
1863 | to a patch from Justin Haddad. | |
1864 | ||
41e45067 DH |
1865 | - DHCPD is now RFC2131 section 4.1 compliant (broadcast to all-ones ip and |
1866 | ethernet mac address) on the SCO platform specifically without any strange | |
1867 | ifconfig hacks. Many thanks go to the Kroger Co. for donating the | |
1868 | hardware and funding the development. | |
6d103865 | 1869 | |
b543fea9 DH |
1870 | - A new common configuration executable statement, execute(), has been |
1871 | added. This permits dhcpd or dhclient to execute a named external | |
1872 | program with command line arguments specified from other configuration | |
1873 | language. Thanks to a patch written by Mattias Ronnblom, gotten to us | |
1874 | via Robin Breathe. | |
1875 | ||
b22de500 DH |
1876 | - A new dhcp server option 'adaptive-lease-time-threshold' has been added |
1877 | which causes the server to substantially reduce lease-times if there are | |
1878 | few (configured percentage) remaining leases. Thanks to a patch submitted | |
1879 | from Christof Chen. | |
1880 | ||
96bbe8c5 SK |
1881 | - Encapsulated option spaces within encapsulated option spaces is now |
1882 | formally supported. | |
1883 | ||
b8221d95 DH |
1884 | Changes since 3.0.6rc1 |
1885 | ||
1886 | - supersede_lease() now requeues leases in their respective hardware | |
1887 | address hash bucket. This mirrors client identifier behaviour. | |
1888 | ||
c1e6c832 DH |
1889 | Changes since 3.0.5 |
1890 | ||
f546c28b DH |
1891 | - Assorted fixes for broken network devices: Packet length is now |
1892 | determined from the IP header length field to finally calculate the | |
1893 | UDP payload length, because some NIC drivers return more data than | |
5a22eb63 | 1894 | they actually received. |
f546c28b DH |
1895 | |
1896 | - UDP packets are now stored in aligned data structures. | |
1897 | ||
c1e6c832 DH |
1898 | - A logic error in omapi interface code was repaired that might result in |
1899 | incorrectly indicating 'up' state when any flags were set, rather than | |
23e10d37 DH |
1900 | specifically the INTERFACE_REQUESTED flag. Thanks to a patch from |
1901 | Jochen Voss which got to us via Andrew Pollock at Debian. | |
c1e6c832 | 1902 | |
75ab3070 DH |
1903 | - A reference leak on binding scopes set by ddns updates was repaired. |
1904 | ||
d69fb6a8 | 1905 | - A memory leak in the minires_nsendsigned() function call was repaired. |
23e10d37 | 1906 | Effectively, this leaked ~176 bytes per DDNS update. |
d69fb6a8 | 1907 | |
02428754 DH |
1908 | - In the case where an "L2" DHCP Relay Agent (one that does not set giaddr) |
1909 | was directly attached to the same broadcast domain as the DHCP server, | |
1910 | the RFC3046 relay agent information option was not being returned to the | |
1911 | relay in the server's replies. This was fixed; the dhcp server no longer | |
1912 | requires the giaddr to reply with relay agent information. Note that | |
1913 | this also improves compatibility with L2 devices that "intercept" DHCP | |
1914 | packets and expect relay agent information even in unicast (renewal) | |
23e10d37 DH |
1915 | replies. Thanks to a patch from Pekka Silvonen. |
1916 | ||
1917 | - A bug was fixed where the BOOTP header 'sname' field had a value, the | |
1918 | copy written to persistent storage was actually the contents of the | |
1919 | 'file' field. | |
02428754 | 1920 | |
ecde99a3 DH |
1921 | - A bug was fixed where the nwip virtual option space was referencing |
1922 | the fqdn option's virtual option space's option cache. | |
1923 | ||
67674ffb DH |
1924 | - Timestamp parsing errors that indicated missing "minutes" fields rather |
1925 | than the actually missing "seconds" fields have been repaired thanks to | |
1926 | a patch from Kevin Steves. | |
1927 | ||
830ebc4c DH |
1928 | - A grammar error in the dhclient.8 manpage was repaired thanks to a patch |
1929 | from Chris Wagner. | |
1930 | ||
c759db75 DH |
1931 | - Several spelling typos were repaired, and some cross-references to other |
1932 | relevant documents were included in the manpages, thanks to a patch | |
1933 | by Andrew Pollock which got to us via Tomas Pospisek. | |
1934 | ||
9aa3f3a5 DH |
1935 | - Some bugs were fixed in the 'emergency relay agent options hologram' |
1936 | which is used to retain relay agent option contents from when the | |
1937 | client was in INIT or REBIND states. This should solve problems where | |
1938 | relay agent options were not echoed from the server, even when giaddr | |
1939 | was set. | |
1940 | ||
3d0c598a DH |
1941 | - dhclient now closes its descriptor to dhclient.leases prior to executing |
1942 | dhclient-script. Thanks to a patch from Tomas Pospisek. | |
1943 | ||
d5b6835f DH |
1944 | - The server's "by client-id" and "by hardware address" hash table lists |
1945 | are now sorted according to the preference to re-allocate that lease to | |
1946 | returning clients. This should eliminate pool starvation problems | |
1947 | arising when "INIT" clients were given new leases rather than presently | |
1948 | active ones. | |
1949 | ||
02428754 | 1950 | Changes since 3.0.5rc1 |
0a73b7b6 | 1951 | |
901306d5 | 1952 | - A bug was repaired in fixes to the dhclient, which sought to run the |
0a73b7b6 SK |
1953 | dhclient-script with the 'EXPIRE' state should it receive a NAK in |
1954 | response to a REQUEST. The client now iterates the PREINIT state | |
1955 | after the EXPIRE state, so that interfaces that might be configured | |
1956 | 'down' can be brought back 'up' and initialized. | |
1957 | ||
87a08ccc DH |
1958 | - DHCPINFORM handling for clients that properly set ciaddr and come to the |
1959 | server via a relay aget has been repaired. | |
1960 | ||
6da113fb DH |
1961 | Changes since 3.0.4 |
1962 | ||
1963 | - A warning that host statements declared within subnet or shared-network | |
1964 | scopes are actually global has been added. | |
1965 | ||
1966 | - The default minimum lease time (if min-lease-time was not specified) | |
1967 | was raised from 0 to 300. 0 is not thought to be sensible, and is | |
1968 | known to be damaging. | |
1969 | ||
1970 | - Added additional fatal error sanity checks surrounding lease binding | |
1971 | state count calculations (free/active counts used for failover pool | |
1972 | balancing). | |
1973 | ||
dcc557db DH |
1974 | - Some time value size fixes in 3.0.4 brought on from FreeBSD /usr/ports were |
1975 | misapplied to server values rather than client values. The server no longer | |
1976 | advertises 8-byte lease-time options when on 64-bit platforms. | |
1977 | ||
1b2ab55f DH |
1978 | - A bug where leases not in ACTIVE state would get billed to billed classes |
1979 | (classes with lease limitations) was fixed. Non-active leases OFFERed | |
1980 | to clients are no longer billed (but billing is checked before offering). | |
1981 | ||
e48891e8 DH |
1982 | - The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated in regard to the ddns-domainname |
1983 | configuration option - the default configuration and results should be | |
1984 | more clear now. | |
1985 | ||
6cbc6629 DH |
1986 | - If the dhclient were to receive a DHCPNAK while it was in the RENEW |
1987 | state (and consequently, had an active, 'bound' address and related | |
1988 | configuration options), it would fail to 'tear down' this information | |
1989 | before proceeding into INIT state. dhclient now iterates the dhclient- | |
1990 | script with the 'EXPIRE' action to cause these teardowns prior to entering | |
1d3bfb17 | 1991 | INIT state. Thanks to a patch from Chris Zimmerman. |
6cbc6629 | 1992 | |
c5fec5fa DH |
1993 | - The omapi.1 manpage had some formatting errors repaired thanks to a patch |
1994 | from Yoshihiko Sarumaru. | |
1995 | ||
33e1cb2b DH |
1996 | - A few lines of code that were failover-specific were moved within |
1997 | #if defined() clauses so that compilation without failover could be | |
1998 | made possible. | |
1999 | ||
2bddf829 DH |
2000 | - The log message emitted when the 'leased-address' value was not available |
2001 | in dhcpd.conf "executable statements" has been updated to be more helpful. | |
2002 | Manpage information for this value has also been updated. | |
2003 | ||
87578987 DH |
2004 | - Abandoned or dissociated (err condition) leases now remove any related |
2005 | dynamic dns bindings. Thanks to a patch from Patrick Schoo. | |
2006 | ||
e77c575f DH |
2007 | - Attempting to write a new lease file to replace a corrupt (due to |
2008 | encountering non-retryable errors during writing) lease file should | |
2009 | no longer result in an infinite recursion. | |
2010 | ||
2178df03 DH |
2011 | - Host declaration hardware addresses and client identifiers may only be |
2012 | configured once. dhcpd will now fail to load config files that specify | |
2013 | multiple identifiers (previous versions would silently over-ride the | |
2014 | value with the later configured value). | |
2015 | ||
d5341d9b SK |
2016 | - Several option codes that have been allocated since our last release |
2017 | have been named and documented. | |
2018 | ||
2019 | - Option names of the form "unknown-123" have been removed from the in- | |
2020 | memory hash tables. In order to support options of these names that | |
2021 | may appear in dhclient.leases or similar in previous versions, the | |
2022 | parser will now find the new option code definition, or mock up a | |
2023 | generic option code definition. This should result in a smooth | |
2024 | transition from one name to the other, as the new name is used to | |
2025 | write new output. | |
2026 | ||
6da113fb DH |
2027 | Changes since 3.0.4rc1 |
2028 | ||
2029 | - The dhcp-options.5 manpage was updated to correct indentation errors | |
2030 | thanks to a patch from Jean Delvare. | |
2031 | ||
2032 | Changes since 3.0.4b3 | |
2033 | ||
2034 | - Some manual pages were clarified pursuant to discussion on the dhcp-server | |
2035 | mailing list. | |
2036 | ||
88cd8aca DH |
2037 | Changes since 3.0.4b2 |
2038 | ||
45d545f0 | 2039 | - Null-termination sensing for certain clients that unfortunately require |
88cd8aca DH |
2040 | it in DHCPINFORM processing was repaired. |
2041 | ||
2042 | - The host-name option and a few others were moved from "X" format to "t" | |
2043 | format to be compatible with new NULL handling functions. | |
2044 | ||
2045 | - DHCPINFORM processing is a little more careful about return addressing | |
2046 | its responses, or if responding via a relay. The INFORM related | |
2047 | messages also log the 'effective client ip address' rather than the | |
2048 | client's supplied ciaddr (since some clients produce null ciaddrs). | |
2049 | ||
2050 | - The server was inappropriately sending leases to the RESET state in the | |
2051 | event that multiple active leases were found to match a singly-identified | |
2052 | client. This was changed to RELEASED (by accepting a different, ACTIVE | |
2053 | binding, the client is implicitly releasing its lease). This repairs a | |
2054 | bug wherein secondary servers in failover pairs detecting this condition | |
2055 | move leases to RESET, and primaries refuse to accept that state | |
2056 | transition (properly). | |
2057 | ||
2058 | - The memset-after-dmalloc() changes made in 3.0.4b1 have been backed out. | |
2059 | ||
2060 | Changes since 3.0.4b1 | |
2061 | ||
2062 | - Command line parsing in omshell was repaired - it no longer closes | |
2063 | STDIN after reading one line. | |
2064 | ||
2065 | - The resolver library no longer closes the /etc/resolv.conf file | |
2066 | descriptor it opened twice. | |
2067 | ||
2068 | - Changes to trailing NULL removal in 't' option-atoms has been rethought, | |
2069 | it now includes 'd' (domain name) types, and tries hard not to rewind an | |
2070 | option beyond the start of the text field it is un-terminating. | |
2071 | ||
2072 | Changes since 3.0.3 | |
2073 | ||
2074 | - A DDNS update handling function was misusing the DNS error codes, rather | |
2075 | than the internal generic result enumeration. The result is a confusing | |
2076 | syslog line, logging the wrong condition. | |
2077 | ||
2078 | - The DHCP Server was not checking pool balance in the case where it brought | |
2079 | a non-ACTIVE lease out of storage for a client that was returning to use | |
2080 | a lease it once had long ago, and had since expired. | |
2081 | ||
2082 | - Failover peers no longer bother to look for free leases to allocate when | |
2083 | they already found the client's ACTIVE lease. DISCOVERs are load balanced | |
98bd7ca0 | 2084 | whether freely-allocated or not, unless the server doubts the peer has |
88cd8aca DH |
2085 | leases to allocate. |
2086 | ||
2087 | - Fixed a bug in dhcrelay agent addition code that suppressed trailing | |
45d545f0 | 2088 | PAD options - it was suppressing only one trailing PAD option, rather |
88cd8aca DH |
2089 | than the entire block of them. |
2090 | ||
3a16098f DH |
2091 | ! Fixed some unlikely overlapping-region memcpy() bugs in dhcrelay agent |
2092 | option addition and stripping code. Added a few sanity checks. Although | |
2093 | highly improbable, due to requiring the reception of a DHCP datagram well | |
2094 | in excess of all known to be used physical MTU limitations, it is possible | |
2095 | this may have been used in a stack overflow security vulnerability. Thanks | |
2096 | to a patch from infamous42md. | |
2097 | ||
2098 | ! Added some sanity checks to OMAPI connection/authentication code. | |
2099 | Although highly improbable, due to having to deliver in excess of 2^32 | |
2100 | bytes of data via the OMAPI channel, not to mention requiring dhcpd to | |
2101 | be able to malloc() a memory region 2^32 bytes in size, it was possible | |
2102 | this might have resulted in a heap overflow security vulnerability. | |
2103 | Thanks to a patch from infamous42md. | |
88cd8aca DH |
2104 | |
2105 | - dmalloc() memset()'s the non-debug (data) portion of the allocated | |
2106 | memory to zero. Code that memset()'s the result returned by dmalloc() to | |
2107 | zero is redundant. These redundancies were removed. | |
2108 | ||
2109 | - Some type declaration corrections to u_int16_t were made in common/tr.c | |
4b97eaff | 2110 | (Token Ring support) thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat. |
88cd8aca DH |
2111 | |
2112 | - A failover bug that was allowing leases that EXPIRED or were RELEASED | |
2113 | where tsfp and tstp are identical timestamps to languish in these | |
2114 | transitional states has been repaired. As a side effect, lease | |
2115 | databases should be kept more consistent overall, not just for these | |
2116 | transitional states. | |
2117 | ||
2118 | - If the lease db is deleted out from under the daemon, and it moves to rewrite | |
2119 | the db, it will go ahead with the operation and move the new db into place | |
2120 | once it detects the old db does not exist. | |
2121 | ||
2122 | - dhclient now ignores IRDA, SIT, and IEEE1394 network interfaces, as it | |
2123 | is either nonsensical or (in the case of IEEE1394) is not known to support | |
2124 | these interfaces. Thanks to Marius Gedminas and Andrew Pollock of Debian. | |
2125 | ||
2126 | - Some previously undocumented reasons for dhclient-script invoking has | |
45d545f0 | 2127 | been documented in the dhclient-script.8 manpage. |
88cd8aca DH |
2128 | |
2129 | - Failover potential expiry calculations (TSTP) have been corrected. Results | |
2130 | should be substantially more consistent, and proper given the constraints. | |
2131 | ||
2132 | - Adjusted lease state validation checks in potential-conflict, to | |
2133 | account for possible clock skew similarly to normal state, and several | |
2134 | previously illegal transitions were made legal (ex: active->released). | |
2135 | ||
2136 | - An impossible sanity check was removed from omapi/buffer.c, thanks to a | |
2137 | patch from 'infamous42md'. | |
2138 | ||
2139 | - An OMAPI host/network byte order problem in lease time values has been | |
2140 | repaired. | |
2141 | ||
2142 | - Several minor bugs, largely relating to treating 8-byte time values as | |
2143 | 4-byte entities, have been repaired after careful review of the FreeBSD | |
2144 | ports collection's patch set. Thanks to the nameless entities who have | |
2145 | contributed to the FreeBSD ports. | |
2146 | ||
2147 | - When writing a trace file, the file is now created with permissions 0600, | |
2148 | to help administrators avoid accidentally publicising sensitive config | |
2149 | data. | |
2150 | ||
2151 | - The calculation of the maximum size of DHCP packets no longer includes | |
2152 | Ethernet framing overhead. The result is that the 'Maximum Message | |
2153 | Size' option advertised by clients, or the default value 576, is no | |
2154 | longer reduced by 14 bytes, and instead directly reflects the IP level | |
2155 | MTU (and the default, minimum allowed IP MTU of 576). | |
2156 | ||
2157 | - The special status of RELEASED/EXPIRED/RESET leases when a server | |
2158 | is operating in partner-down was fixed. It no longer requires a | |
2159 | lease be twice the MCLT beyond STOS to 'reallocate', and the expiry | |
2160 | event to turn these into FREE leases without peer acknowledgement | |
2161 | (after STOS+MCLT) has been repaired. | |
2162 | ||
2163 | - Compilation on older Solaris systems (lacking /usr/include/sys/int_types.h) | |
2164 | has been repaired. | |
2165 | ||
2166 | - "append"ing a string onto the end of a "t" type option (such as the | |
2167 | domain-name field) that had been improperly NULL-terminated by the | |
2168 | DHCP server will no longer result in a truncated string containing | |
2169 | only the option from the server, and not the expected appended value. | |
4b97eaff | 2170 | Thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat. |
88cd8aca DH |
2171 | |
2172 | - File handlers on configuration state (config files and lease dbs) should | |
98bd7ca0 | 2173 | be treated consistently, regardless of whether TRACING is defined or not. |
88cd8aca | 2174 | |
45d545f0 | 2175 | - The Linux build environment has had some minor improvements - better |
88cd8aca DH |
2176 | sensing of 64-bit pointer sizes (only used for establishing an icmp_id), |
2177 | and corrections to #if operators regarding LINUX_MAJOR should it ever | |
2178 | move to 3.[01].x. | |
2179 | ||
2180 | - The server now tries harder to survive the condition where it is unable | |
2181 | to open a new lease file to rewrite the lease state database. | |
2182 | ||
c75473d8 DH |
2183 | Changes since 3.0.3b3 |
2184 | ||
2185 | - dhclient.conf documentation for interface {} was updated to reflect recent | |
2186 | discussion on the dhcp-hackers mailing list. | |
2187 | ||
2188 | - In response to reports that the software does not compile on GCC 4.0.0, | |
2189 | -Werror was removed from Makefile.conf for all platforms that used it. | |
2190 | We will address the true problem in a future release; this is a temporary | |
2191 | workaround. | |
2192 | ||
2193 | Changes since 3.0.3b2 | |
2194 | ||
2195 | - An error in code changes introduced in 3.0.3b2 was corrected, which caused | |
2196 | static BOOTP clients to receive random addresses. | |
2197 | ||
2198 | Changes since 3.0.3b1 | |
2199 | ||
2200 | - A bug was fixed in BOOTPREQUEST handling code wherein stale references to | |
2201 | host records would be left behind on leases that were not allocated to the | |
2202 | client currently booting (eg in the case where the host was denied booting). | |
2203 | ||
2204 | - The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated to be more clear in regards to | |
2205 | multiple host declarations (thanks to Vincent McIntyre). 'Interim' style | |
2206 | dynamic updates were also retouched. | |
2207 | ||
98311e4b DH |
2208 | Changes since 3.0.2 |
2209 | ||
2210 | - A bug was fixed where a server might load balance a DHCP REQUEST to its | |
45d545f0 | 2211 | peer after already choosing not to load balance the preceding DISCOVER. |
98311e4b DH |
2212 | The peer cannot allocate the originating server's lease. |
2213 | ||
2214 | - In the case where a secondary server lost its stable storage while the | |
2215 | primary was still in communications-interrupted, and came back online, | |
2216 | the lease databases would not be fully transferred to the secondary. | |
2217 | This was due to the secondary errantly sending an extra UPDREQ message | |
2218 | when the primary made its state transition to PARTNER-DOWN known. | |
2219 | ||
2220 | - The package will now compile cleanly in gcc 3.3 and 3.4. As a side effect, | |
2221 | lease structures will be 9 bytes smaller on all platforms. Thanks to | |
4b97eaff | 2222 | Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat. |
98311e4b DH |
2223 | |
2224 | - Interface discovery code in DISCOVER_UNCONFIGURED mode is now | |
2225 | properly restricted to only detecting broadcast interfaces. Thanks | |
4b97eaff | 2226 | to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat. |
98311e4b DH |
2227 | |
2228 | - decode_udp_ip_header was changed so that the IP address was copied out | |
2229 | to a variable, rather than referenced by a pointer. This enforces 4-byte | |
2230 | alignment of the 32-bit IP address value. Thanks to a patch from Dr. | |
2231 | Peter Poeml. | |
2232 | ||
2233 | - An incorrect log message was corrected thanks to a patch from | |
2234 | Dr. Peter Poeml. | |
2235 | ||
2236 | - A bug in DDNS was repaired, where if the server's first DDNS action was | |
2237 | a DDNS removal rather than a DDNS update, the resolver library's | |
2238 | retransmit timer and retry timer was set to the default, implying a | |
2239 | 15 second timeout interval. Which is a little excessive in a synchronous, | |
2240 | single-threaded system. In all cases, ISC DHCP should now hold fast to | |
2241 | a 1-second timeout, trying only once. | |
2242 | ||
2243 | - The siaddr field was being improperly set to the server-identifier when | |
2244 | responding to DHCP messages. RFC2131 clarified the siaddr field as | |
2245 | meaning the 'next server in the bootstrap process', eg a tftp server. | |
2246 | The siaddr field is now left zeroed unless next-server is configured. | |
2247 | ||
2248 | - mockup_lease() could have returned in an error condition (or in the | |
2249 | condition where no fixed-address was found matching the shared | |
2250 | network) with stale references to a host record. This is probably not | |
2251 | a memory leak since host records generally never die anyway. | |
2252 | ||
2253 | - A bug was repaired where failover servers would let stale client identifiers | |
2254 | persist on leases that were reallocated to new clients not sending an id. | |
2255 | ||
2256 | - Binding scopes ("set var = value;") are now removed from leases allocated | |
2257 | by failover peers if the lease had expired. This should help reduce the | |
2258 | number of stale binding scopes on leases. | |
2259 | ||
2260 | - A small memory leak was closed involving client identifiers larger than | |
2261 | 7 bytes, and failover. | |
2262 | ||
2263 | - Configuring a subnet in dhcpd.conf with a subnet mask of 32 bits might | |
2264 | cause an internal function to overflow heap. Thanks to Jason Vas Dias | |
4b97eaff | 2265 | at Red Hat. |
98311e4b DH |
2266 | |
2267 | - Some inconsistencies in treating numbers that the lexer parsed as 'NUMBER' | |
2268 | or 'NUMBER_OR_NAME' was repaired. Hexadecimal parsing is affected, and | |
2269 | should work better. | |
2270 | ||
2271 | - In several cases, parse warnings were being issued before the lexical | |
2272 | token had been advanced to the token whose value was causing an error... | |
2273 | causing parse warnings to claim the problem is on the wrong token. | |
2274 | ||
2275 | - Host declarations matching on client identifier for dynamic leases will | |
2276 | no longer match fixed-address host declarations (this is now identical | |
2277 | to behaviour for host records matching on hardware address). | |
2278 | ||
2279 | Changes since 3.0.2rc3 | |
2280 | ||
2281 | - A previously undocumented configuration directive, 'local-address', | |
2282 | was documented in the dhcpd.conf manpage. | |
2283 | ||
2284 | Changes since 3.0.2rc2 | |
2285 | ||
45d545f0 | 2286 | - Two variables introduced in 3.0.2b1 were used without being initialized |
98311e4b DH |
2287 | in the case where neither the FILE nor SNAME fields were available for |
2288 | overloading. This was repaired. | |
2289 | ||
2290 | - A heretofore believed to be impossible corner case of the option | |
2291 | overloading implementation turned out to be possible ("Unable to sort | |
2292 | overloaded options after 10 tries."). The implementation was reworked | |
2293 | to consider the case of an option so large it would require more than | |
2294 | three chunks to fit. | |
2295 | ||
2296 | - Many other instances of variables being used without being initialized | |
2297 | were repaired. | |
2298 | ||
2299 | - An uninitialized variable in omapi_io_destroy() led to the discovery | |
2300 | that this function may result in orphaned pointers (and hence, a memory | |
2301 | leak). | |
2302 | ||
2303 | Changes since 3.0.2rc1 | |
2304 | ||
2305 | - allocate_lease() was rewritten to repair a bug in which the server would | |
2306 | try to allocate an ABANDONED lease when FREE leases were available. | |
2307 | ||
2308 | Changes since 3.0.2b1 | |
2309 | ||
2310 | - Some dhcp-eval.5 manpage formatting was repaired. | |
2311 | ||
2312 | Changes since 3.0.1 | |
2313 | ||
2314 | - A bug was fixed in the server's 'option overloading' implementation, | |
2315 | where options loaded into the 'file' and 'sname' packet fields were | |
2316 | not aligned precisely as rfc2131 dictates. | |
2317 | ||
2318 | - The FreeBSD client script was changed to support the case where a domain | |
2319 | name was not provided by the server. | |
2320 | ||
2321 | - A memory leak in 'omshell' per each command line parsed was | |
2322 | repaired, thanks to a patch from Jarkko Torppa. | |
2323 | ||
2324 | - Log functions writing to stderr were adjusted to use the STDERR_FILENO | |
2325 | system definition rather than '2'. This is a no-op for 90% of platforms. | |
2326 | ||
2327 | - One call to trace_write_packet_iov() counted the number of io vectors | |
2328 | incorrectly, causing inconsistent tracefiles. This was fixed. | |
2329 | ||
2330 | - Some expression parse failure memory leaks were closed. | |
2331 | ||
2332 | - A host byte order problem in tracefiles was repaired. | |
2333 | ||
2334 | - Pools configured in DHCPD for failover possessing permission lists that | |
2335 | previously were assumed to not include dyanmic bootp clients are now | |
2336 | a little more pessimistic. The result is, dhcpd will nag you about just | |
2337 | about most pools that possess a 'allow' statement with no 'deny' that | |
2338 | would definitely match a dynamic bootp client. | |
2339 | ||
2340 | - The 'ddns-update-style' configuration warning bit now insists that | |
2341 | the configuration be globally scoped. | |
2342 | ||
2343 | - Two memory leaks in dhclient were closed thanks to a patch from Felix | |
2344 | Farkas. | |
2345 | ||
2346 | - Some minor but excellently pedantic documentation errors were fixed | |
2347 | thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner. | |
2348 | ||
2349 | - Bugs in operator precedence in executable statements have been repaired | |
2350 | once again. More legal syntaxes should be parsed legally. | |
2351 | ||
2352 | - Failing to initialize a tracefile for any reason if a tracefile was | |
2353 | specified is now a fatal error. Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz. | |
2354 | ||
2355 | - Corrected a bug in which the number of leases transferred as calculated | |
2356 | by the failover primary and sent to peers in POOLRESP responses may be | |
2357 | incorrect. This value is not believed to be used by other failover | |
2358 | implementations, excepting perhaps as logged information. | |
2359 | ||
2360 | - Corrected a bug in which 'dhcp_failover_send_poolresp()' was in fact | |
2361 | sending POOLREQ messages instead of POOLRESP mesasges. This message | |
2362 | was essentially ignored since failover secondaries effectively do not | |
2363 | respond to POOLREQ messages. | |
2364 | ||
2365 | - Type definitions for various bitwidths of integers in the sunos5-5 | |
2366 | build of ISC DHCP have been fixed. It should compile and run more | |
2367 | easily when built in 64-bit for this platform. | |
2368 | ||
2369 | - "allow known-clients;" is now a legal syntax, to avoid confusion. | |
2370 | ||
2371 | - If one dhcp server chooses to 'load balance' a request to its failover | |
2372 | peer, it first checks to see if it believes said peer has a free | |
2373 | lease to allocate before ignoring the DISCOVER. | |
2374 | ||
2375 | - log() was logging a work buffer, rather than the value returned by | |
2376 | executing the statements configured by the user. In some cases, | |
2377 | the work buffer and the intended results were the same. In some other | |
2378 | cases, they were not. This was fixed thanks to a patch from Gunnar | |
2379 | Fjone and directconnect.no. | |
2380 | ||
2381 | - Compiler warnings for some string type conversions was fixed, thanks | |
2382 | to Andreas Gustafsson. | |
2383 | ||
2384 | - The netbsd build environments were simplified to one, in which | |
2385 | -Wconversion is not used, thanks to Andreas Gustafsson. | |
2386 | ||
2387 | - How randomness in the backoff-cutoff dhclient configuration variable | |
2388 | is implemented was better documented in the manpage, and the behaviour | |
2389 | of dhclient in REQUEST timeout handling was changed to match that of | |
2390 | DISCOVER timeout handling. | |
2391 | ||
2392 | - Omapi was hardened against clients that pass in null values, thanks | |
2393 | to a patch from Mark Jason Dominus. | |
2394 | ||
2395 | - A bug was fixed in dhclient that kept it from doing client-side | |
2396 | ddns updates. Thanks to a patch from Andreas Gustafsson, which | |
2397 | underwent some modification after review by Jason Vas Dias. | |
2398 | ||
2399 | - Failover implementations disconnected due to the network between | |
2400 | them (rather than one of the two shutting down) will now try to | |
2401 | re-establish the failover connection every 5 seconds, rather than | |
2402 | to simply try once and give up until one of them is restarted. | |
2403 | Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from Infoblox, and field testing | |
2404 | by Greger V. Teigre which led to an enhancement to it. | |
2405 | ||
2406 | - A problem that kept DHCP Failover secondaries from tearing down | |
2407 | ddns records was repaired. Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from | |
2408 | Infoblox. | |
2409 | ||
2410 | - 64bit pointer sizes are detected properly on FreeBSD now. | |
2411 | ||
2412 | - A bug was repaired where the DHCP server would leave stale references | |
2413 | to host records on leases it once thought about offering to certain | |
2414 | clients. The result would be to apply host and 'known' scopes to the | |
2415 | wrong clients (possibly denying booting). NOTE: The 'mis-host' patch | |
2416 | that was being circulated as a workaround is not the way this bug was | |
2417 | fixed. If you were a victim of this bug in 3.0.1, you are cautioned | |
2418 | to proceed carefully and see if it fixes your problem. | |
2419 | ||
2420 | - A bug was repaired in the server's DHCPINFORM handling, where it | |
2421 | tried to divine the client's address from the source packet and | |
2422 | would get it wrong. Thanks to Anshuman Singh Rawat. | |
2423 | ||
2424 | - A log message was introduced to help illuminate the case where the | |
2425 | server was unable to find a lease to assign to any BOOTP client. | |
2426 | Thanks to Daniel Baker. | |
2427 | ||
2428 | - A minor dhcpd.conf.5 manpage error was fixed. | |
2429 | ||
2430 | Changes since 3.0.1rc14 | |
2431 | ||
2432 | - The global variable 'cur_time' was centralized and is now uniformly of a | |
2433 | type #defined in system-dependent headers. It had previously been defined | |
2434 | in one of many places as a 32-bit value, and this causes mayhem on 64-bit | |
2435 | big endian systems. It probably wasn't too healthy on little endian | |
2436 | systems either. | |
2437 | ||
2438 | - A printf format string error introduced in rc14 was repaired. | |
2439 | ||
2440 | - AIX system-dependent header file was altered to only define NO_SNPRINTF | |
2441 | if the condition used to #ifdef in vsnprintf in AIX' header files | |
2442 | is false. | |
2443 | ||
2444 | - The Alpha/OSF system-dependent header file was altered to define | |
2445 | NO_SNPRINTF on OS revisions older than 4.0G. | |
2446 | ||
2447 | - omapip/test.c had string.h added to its includes. | |
2448 | ||
2449 | Changes since 3.0.1rc13 | |
2450 | ||
2451 | ! CAN-2004-0460 - CERT VU#317350: Five stack overflow exploits were closed | |
2452 | in logging messages with excessively long hostnames provided by the | |
2453 | clients. It is highly probable that these could have been used by | |
2454 | attackers to gain arbitrary root access on systems using ISC DHCP 3.0.1 | |
2455 | release candidates 12 or 13. Special thanks to Gregory Duchemin for | |
2456 | both finding and solving the problem. | |
2457 | ||
2458 | ! CAN-2004-0461 - CERT VU#654390: Once the above was closed, an opening | |
45d545f0 | 2459 | in log_*() functions was evidenced, on some specific platforms where |
98311e4b DH |
2460 | vsnprintf() was not believed to be available and calls were wrapped to |
2461 | sprintf() instead. Again, credit goes to Gregory Duchemin for finding | |
2462 | the problem. Calls to snprintf() are now linked to a distribution-local | |
2463 | snprintf implementation, only in those cases where the architecture is | |
2464 | not known to provide one (see includes/cf/[arch].h). If you experience | |
2465 | linking problems with snprintf/vsnprintf or 'isc_print_' functions, this | |
2466 | is where to look. This vulnerability did not exist in any previously | |
2467 | published version of ISC DHCP. | |
2468 | ||
2469 | - Compilation on hpux 11.11 was repaired. | |
2470 | ||
2471 | - 'The cross-compile bug fix' was backed out. | |
2472 | ||
2473 | Changes since 3.0.1rc12 | |
2474 | ||
2475 | - Fixed a bug in omapi lease lookup function, to form the hardware | |
2476 | address for the hash lookup correctly, thanks to a patch from | |
2477 | Richard Hirst. | |
2478 | ||
2479 | - Fixed a bug where dhcrelay was sending relayed responses back to the | |
2480 | broadcast address, but with the source's unicast mac address. Should | |
2481 | now conform to rfc2131 section 4.1. | |
2482 | ||
2483 | - Cross-compile bug fix; use $(AR) instead of ar. Thanks to Morten Brorup. | |
2484 | ||
2485 | - Fixed a crash bug in dhclient where dhcpd servers that do not provide | |
2486 | renewal times results in an FPE. As a side effect, dhclient can now | |
2487 | properly handle 0xFFFFFFFF (-1) expiry times supplied by servers. Thanks | |
2488 | to a patch from Burt Silverman. | |
2489 | ||
2490 | - The 'ping timeout' debugs from rc12 were removed to -DDEBUG only, | |
45d545f0 | 2491 | and reformatted to correct a compilation error on Solaris platforms. |
98311e4b DH |
2492 | |
2493 | - A patch was applied which fixes a case where leases read from the | |
2494 | leases database do not properly over-ride previously read leases. | |
2495 | ||
2496 | - dhcpctl.3 manpage was tweaked. | |
2497 | ||
2498 | Changes since 3.0.1rc11 | |
2499 | ||
2500 | - A patch from Steve Campbell was applied with minor modifications to | |
2501 | permit reverse dns PTR record updates with values containing spaces. | |
2502 | ||
2503 | - A patch from Florian Lohoff was applied with some modifications to | |
2504 | dhcrelay. It now discards packets whose hop count exceeds 10 by default, | |
2505 | and a command-line option (-c) can be used to set this threshold. | |
2506 | ||
2507 | - A failover bug relating to identifying peers by name length instead of | |
2508 | by name was fixed. | |
2509 | ||
45d545f0 | 2510 | - Declaring failover configs within shared-network statements should no |
98311e4b DH |
2511 | longer result in error. |
2512 | ||
2513 | - The -nw command line option to dhclient now works. | |
2514 | ||
2515 | - Thanks to a patch from Michael Richardson: | |
2516 | - Some problems with long option processing have been fixed. | |
2517 | - Some fixes to minires so that updates of KEY records will work. | |
2518 | ||
2519 | - contrib/ms2isc was updated by Shu-Min Chang of the Intel Corporation. | |
2520 | see contrib/ms2isc/readme.txt for revision notes. | |
2521 | ||
2522 | - Dhclient no longer uses shell commands to kill another instance of | |
2523 | itself, it sends the signal directly. Thanks to a patch from Martin | |
2524 | Blapp. | |
2525 | ||
2526 | - The FreeBSD dhclient-script was changed so that a failure to write to | |
2527 | /etc/resolv.conf does not prematurely end the script. This keeps dhclient | |
2528 | from looping infinitely when this is the case. Thanks to a patch from | |
2529 | Martin Blapp. | |
2530 | ||
2531 | - A patch from Bill Stephens was applied which resolves a problem with lease | |
2532 | expiry times in failover configurations. | |
2533 | ||
2534 | - A memory leak in configuration parsing was closed thanks to a patch from | |
2535 | Steve G. | |
2536 | ||
2537 | - The function which discovers interfaces will now skip non-broadcast or | |
2538 | point-to-point interfaces, thanks to a patch from David Brownlee. | |
2539 | ||
2540 | - Options not yet known by the dhcpd or dhclient have had their names | |
2541 | changed such that they do not contain # symbols, in case they should ever | |
2542 | appear in a lease file. An option that might have been named "#144" is | |
2543 | now "unknown-144". | |
2544 | ||
2545 | - Another patch from Bill Stephens which allows the ping-check timeout to | |
2546 | be configured as 'ping-timeout'. Defaults to 1. | |
2547 | ||
2548 | Changes since 3.0.1rc10 | |
2549 | ||
2550 | - Potential buffer overflows in minires repaired. | |
2551 | ||
2552 | - A change to the linux client script to use /bin/bash, since /bin/sh may | |
2553 | not be bash. | |
2554 | ||
2555 | - Some missing va_end cleanups thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner. | |
2556 | ||
2557 | - A correction of boolean parsing syntax validation - some illegal syntaxes | |
2558 | that worked before are now detected and produce errs, some legal syntaxes | |
2559 | that errored before will now work properly. | |
2560 | ||
2561 | - Some search-and-replace errors that caused some options to change their | |
2562 | names was repaired. | |
2563 | ||
2564 | - Shu-min Chang of the Intel corporation has contributed a perl script and | |
2565 | module that converts the MS NT4 DHCP configuration to a ISC DHCP3 | |
2566 | configuration file. | |
2567 | ||
2568 | - Applied the remainder of the dhcpctl memory leak patch provided by Bill | |
2569 | Squier at ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com). | |
2570 | ||
2571 | - Missing non-optional failover peer configurations will now result in a soft | |
2572 | error rather than a null dereference. | |
2573 | ||
2574 | Changes since 3.0.1rc9 | |
2575 | ||
2576 | - A format string was corrected to fix compiler warnings. | |
2577 | ||
2578 | - A number of spelling corrections were made in the man pages. | |
2579 | ||
2580 | - The dhclient.conf.5 man page was changed to refer to do-forward-updates | |
2581 | rather than a configuration option that doesn't exist. | |
2582 | ||
2583 | - A FreeBSD-specific bug in the interface removal handling was fixed. | |
2584 | ||
2585 | - A Linux-specific Token Ring detection problem was fixed. | |
2586 | ||
2587 | - Hashes removed from as-yet-unknown agent options, having those options | |
2588 | appear in reality before we know about them will no longer produce | |
2589 | self-corrupting lease databases. | |
2590 | ||
2591 | - dhclient will use the proper port numbers now when using the -g option. | |
2592 | ||
2593 | - A order-of-operations bug with 2 match clauses in 1 class statement is | |
2594 | fixed thanks to a patch from Andrew Matheson. | |
2595 | ||
2596 | - Compilation problems on Solaris were fixed. | |
2597 | ||
2598 | - Compilation problems when built with DEBUG or DEBUG_PACKET were repaired. | |
2599 | ||
2600 | - A fix to the dhcp ack process which makes certain group options will be | |
2601 | included in the first DHCPOFFER message was made thanks to a patch from | |
2602 | Ling Gou. | |
2603 | ||
2604 | - A few memory leaks were repaired thanks to patches from Bill Squier at | |
2605 | ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com). | |
2606 | ||
2607 | - A fix for shared-networks that sometimes give clients options for the | |
2608 | wrong subnets (in particular, 'option routers') was applied, thanks to | |
2609 | Ted Lemon for the patch. | |
2610 | ||
2611 | - Omshell's handling of dotted octets as values was changed such that dots | |
2612 | one after the other produce zero values in the integer string. | |
2613 | ||
2614 | Changes since 3.0.1rc8 | |
2615 | ||
2616 | - Fix a format string vulnerability in the server that could lead to a | |
2617 | remote root compromise (discovered by NGSEC Research Team, www.ngsec.com). | |
2618 | ||
2619 | - Add additional support for NetBSD/sparc64. | |
2620 | ||
2621 | - Fix a bug in the command-line parsing of the client. Also, resolve | |
2622 | a memory leak. | |
2623 | ||
2624 | - Add better support for shells other than bash in the Linux client | |
2625 | script. | |
2626 | ||
2627 | - Various build fixes for modern versions of FreeBSD and Linux. | |
2628 | ||
2629 | - Fix a bad bounds check when printing binding state names. | |
2630 | ||
2631 | - Clarify documentation about fixed-address and multiple addresses. | |
2632 | ||
2633 | - Fix a typo in the authoritative error message. | |
2634 | ||
2635 | - Make a log entry when we can't write a billing class. | |
2636 | ||
2637 | - Use conversion targets that are the right size on all architectures. | |
2638 | ||
2639 | - Increment the hop count when relaying. | |
2640 | ||
2641 | - Log a message when lease state is changed through OMAPI. | |
2642 | ||
2643 | - Don't rerun the shared_network when evaluating the pool. | |
2644 | ||
2645 | - Fix a reversed test in the parser. | |
2646 | ||
2647 | - Change the type of rbuf_max. | |
2648 | ||
2649 | - Make FTS_LAST a manifest constant to quiet warnings. | |
2650 | ||
2651 | Changes since 3.0.1rc7 | |
2652 | ||
2653 | - Fix two compiler warnings that are generated when compiling on Solaris | |
2654 | with gcc. These stop the build, even though they weren't actually | |
2655 | errors, because we prefer that our builds generate no warnings. | |
2656 | ||
2657 | Changes since 3.0.1rc6 | |
2658 | ||
2659 | - Don't allow a lease that's in the EXPIRED, RELEASED or RESET state | |
2660 | to be renewed. | |
2661 | ||
2662 | - Implement lease stealing for cases where the primary has fewer leases | |
2663 | than the secondary, as called for by the standard. | |
2664 | ||
2665 | - Add a fudge factor to the lease expiry acceptance code, (suggested | |
2666 | by Kevin Miller of CMU). | |
2667 | ||
2668 | - Fix a bug in permit_list_match that made it much too willing to say | |
2669 | that two permit lists matched. | |
2670 | ||
2671 | - Unless DEBUG_DNS_UPDATES is defined, print more user-friendly (and | |
2672 | also more compact) messages about DNS updates. | |
2673 | ||
2674 | - Fix a bug in generating wire-format domain names for the FQDN option. | |
2675 | ||
2676 | - Fix a bug where the FQDN option would not be returned if the client | |
2677 | requested it, contrary to the standard. | |
2678 | ||
2679 | - On Darwin, use the FreeBSD DHCP client script. | |
2680 | ||
2681 | - On NetBSD/sparc, don't check for casting warnings. | |
2682 | ||
2683 | - Add a flag in the DHCP client to disable updating the client's A | |
2684 | record when sending an FQDN option indicating that the client is | |
2685 | going to update its A record. | |
2686 | ||
2687 | - In the client, don't attempt a DNS update until one second after | |
2688 | configuring the new IP address, and if the update times out, keep | |
2689 | trying until a response, positive or negative, is received from the | |
2690 | DNS server. | |
2691 | ||
2692 | - Fix an uninitialized memory bug in the DHCP client. | |
2693 | ||
2694 | - Apply some FreeBSD-specific bug fixes suggested by Murray Stokely. | |
2695 | ||
2696 | - Fix a bug in ns_parserr(), where it was returning the wrong sort | |
2697 | of result code in some cases (suggested by Ben Harris of the | |
2698 | NetBSD project). | |
2699 | ||
2700 | - Fix a bug in is_identifier(), where it was checking against EOF | |
2701 | instead of the END_OF_FILE token (also suggested by Ben Harris). | |
2702 | ||
2703 | - Fix a bug where if an option universe contained no options, the | |
2704 | DHCP server could dump core (Walter Steiner). | |
2705 | ||
2706 | - Fix a bug in the handling of encapsulated options. | |
2707 | ||
2708 | - Fix a bug that prevented NWIP suboptions from being processed. | |
2709 | ||
2710 | - Delete the FTS_BOOTP and FTS_RESERVED states and implement them | |
2711 | as modifier flags to the FTS_ACTIVE state, as called for in the | |
2712 | failover protocol standard. | |
2713 | ||
2714 | - Fix bugs in the pool merging code that resulted in references and | |
2715 | dereferences of null pointers. This bug had no impact unless the | |
2716 | POINTER_DEBUG flag was defined. | |
2717 | ||
2718 | - In the server, added a do-forward-updates flag that can be used to | |
2719 | disable forward updates in all cases, so that sites that want the | |
2720 | clients to take sole responsibility for updating their A record can | |
2721 | do so. | |
2722 | ||
2723 | - Make it possible to disable optimization of PTR record updates. | |
2724 | ||
2725 | Changes since 3.0.1rc5 | |
2726 | ||
2727 | - Include some new documentation and changes provided by Karl Auer. | |
2728 | ||
2729 | - Add a workaround for some Lexmark printers that send a double-NUL- | |
2730 | terminated host-name option, which would break DNS updates. | |
2731 | ||
2732 | - Fix an off-by-one error in the MAC-address checking code for | |
2733 | DHCPRELEASE that was added in 3.0.1rc5. | |
2734 | ||
2735 | - Fix a bug where client-specific information was not being discarded | |
2736 | from the lease when it expired or was released, resulting in | |
2737 | problems if the lease was reallocated to a different client. | |
2738 | ||
2739 | - If more than one allocation pool is specified that has the same set | |
2740 | of constraints as another allocation pool on the same shared | |
2741 | network, merge the two pools. | |
2742 | ||
2743 | - Don't print an error in fallback_discard, since this just causes | |
2744 | confusion and does not appear to be helping to encourage anyone to | |
2745 | fix this bug. | |
2746 | ||
2747 | Changes since 3.0.1rc4 | |
2748 | ||
2749 | - Fix a bug that would cause the DHCP server to spin if asked to parse | |
2750 | a certain kind of incorrect statement. | |
2751 | ||
2752 | - Fix a related bug that would prevent an error from being reported in | |
2753 | the same case. | |
2754 | ||
2755 | - Additional documentation. | |
2756 | ||
2757 | - Make sure that the hardware address matches the lease when | |
2758 | processing a DHCPRELEASE message. | |
2759 | ||
2760 | Changes since 3.0.1rc3 | |
2761 | ||
2762 | - A minor bug fix in the arguments to a logging function call. | |
2763 | - Documentation update for dhcpd.conf. | |
2764 | ||
adbef119 | 2765 | Changes since 3.0.1rc2 |
98311e4b DH |
2766 | |
2767 | - Allow the primary to send a POOLREQ message. This isn't what the current | |
2768 | failover draft says to do, so we may have to back it out if I can't get the | |
2769 | authors to relent, but the scheme for balancing that's specified in the | |
2770 | current draft seems needlessly hairy, so I'm floating a trial balloon. | |
2771 | The rc1 code did not implement the method described in the draft either. | |
2772 | ||
adbef119 | 2773 | Changes since 3.0.1rc1 |
98311e4b DH |
2774 | |
2775 | - Treat NXDOMAIN and NXRRSET as success when we are trying to delete a | |
2776 | domain or RRSET. This allows the DHCP server to forget about a name | |
2777 | it added to the DNS once it's been removed, even if the DHCP server | |
2778 | wasn't the one that removed it. | |
2779 | ||
2780 | - Install defaults for failover maximum outstanding updates and maximum | |
2781 | silent time. This prevents problems that might occur if these values | |
2782 | were not configured. | |
2783 | ||
2784 | - Don't do DDNS deletes if ddns-update-style is none. | |
2785 | ||
2786 | - Return relay agent information options in DHCPNAK. This prevents DHCPNAK | |
2787 | messages from being dropped when the relay agent information option contains | |
2788 | routing information. | |
2789 | ||
2790 | - Fix a problem where coming up in recover wouldn't result in an update | |
2791 | request being sent. | |
2792 | ||
2793 | - Add some more chatty messages when we start a recovery update and when it's | |
2794 | done. | |
2795 | ||
2796 | - Fix a possible problem where some state might have been left around | |
2797 | after the peer lost contact and regained contact about how many updates | |
2798 | were pending. | |
2799 | ||
2800 | - Don't nix a lease update because of a lease conflict. This test has | |
2801 | never (as far as I know) prevented a mistake, and it appears to cause | |
2802 | problems with failover. | |
2803 | ||
2804 | - Add support in rc history code for keeping a selective history, rather | |
2805 | than a history of all references and dereferences. This code is only used | |
2806 | when extensive additional debugging is enabled. | |
2807 | ||
adbef119 | 2808 | Changes since 3.0 |
98311e4b DH |
2809 | |
2810 | - Make allocators for hash tables. As a side effect, this fixes a memory | |
2811 | smash in the subclass allocation code. | |
2812 | ||
2813 | - Fix a small bug in omshell where if you try to close an object when | |
2814 | no object is open, it dumps core. | |
2815 | ||
2816 | - Fix an obscure coredump that could occur on shutdown. | |
2817 | ||
2818 | - Fix a bug in the recording of host declaration rubouts in the lease file. | |
2819 | ||
2820 | - Fix two potential spins in the host deletion code. | |
2821 | ||
2822 | - Fix a core dump that would happen if an application tried to update | |
2823 | a host object attribute with a null value. | |
2824 | ||
2825 | Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 12 | |
2826 | ||
2827 | - Fix a memory leak in the evaluation code. | |
2828 | ||
2829 | - Fix an obscure core dump. | |
2830 | ||
2831 | - Print a couple of new warnings when parsing the configuration file | |
2832 | when crucial information is left out. | |
2833 | ||
2834 | - Log "no free leases" as an error. | |
2835 | ||
2836 | - Documentation updates. | |
2837 | ||
2838 | Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 11 | |
2839 | ||
2840 | - Always return a subnet selection option if one is sent. | |
2841 | ||
2842 | - Fix a warning that was being printed because an automatic data | |
2843 | structure wasn't zeroed. | |
2844 | ||
2845 | - Fix some failover state transitions that were being handled | |
2846 | incorrectly. | |
2847 | ||
2848 | - When supersede_lease is called on a lease whose end time has already | |
2849 | expired, but for which a state transition has not yet been done, do | |
2850 | a state transition. This fixes the case where if the secondary | |
2851 | allocated a lease to a client and the lease "expired" while the | |
2852 | secondary was in partner-down, no expiry event would actually | |
2853 | happen, so the lease would remain active until the primary was | |
2854 | restarted. | |
2855 | ||
2856 | Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 10 | |
2857 | ||
2858 | - Fix a bug that was preventing released leases from changing state | |
2859 | in failover-enabled pools. | |
2860 | ||
2861 | - Fix a core dump in the client identifier finder code (for host | |
2862 | declarations). | |
2863 | ||
2864 | - Finish fixing a bug where bogus data would sometimes get logged to | |
2865 | the dhclient.leases file because it was opened as descriptor 2. | |
2866 | ||
2867 | - Fix the Linux dhclient-script according to suggestions made by | |
2868 | several people on the dhcp-client mailing list. | |
2869 | ||
2870 | - Log successful DNS updates at LOG_INFO, not LOG_ERROR. | |
2871 | ||
2872 | - Print an error message and refuse to run if a failover peer is | |
2873 | defined but not referenced by any pools. | |
2874 | ||
2875 | - Correct a confusing error message in failover. | |
2876 | ||
eaf0b302 TL |
2877 | Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 9 |
2878 | ||
2879 | - Fix a bug in lease allocation for Dynamic BOOTP clients. | |
2880 | ||
0db87765 TL |
2881 | Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8 Patchlevel 2 |
2882 | ||
2883 | - Fix a bug that prevented update-static-leases from working. | |
2884 | ||
2885 | - Document failover-state OMAPI object. | |
2886 | ||
2887 | - Fix a compilation error on SunOS 4. | |
2888 | ||
d758ad8c TL |
2889 | Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8 Patchlevel 1 |
2890 | ||
2891 | - Fix a parsing bug that broke dns updates (both interim and ad-hoc). | |
2892 | This was introduced in rc8pl1 as an unintended result of the memory | |
2893 | leakage fixes that were in pl1. | |
2894 | ||
2895 | - Fix a long-standing bug where the server would record that an update | |
2896 | had been done for a client with no name, even though no update had | |
2897 | been done, and then when the client's lease expired the deletion of | |
2898 | that nonexistant record would time out because the name was the null | |
2899 | string. | |
2900 | ||
2901 | - Clean up the omshell, dhcpctl and omapi man pages a bit. | |
2902 | ||
d758ad8c TL |
2903 | Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8 |
2904 | ||
2905 | - Fix a bug that could cause the DHCP server to spin if | |
2906 | one-lease-per-client was enabled. | |
2907 | ||
2908 | - Fix a bug that was causing core dumps on BSD/os in the presence of | |
2909 | malformed packets. | |
2910 | ||
2911 | - In partner-down state, don't restrict lease lengths to MCLT. | |
2912 | ||
2913 | - On the failover secondary, record the MCLT received from the primary | |
2914 | so that if we come up without a connection to the primary we don't | |
2915 | wind up giving out zero-length leases. | |
2916 | ||
2917 | - Fix some compilation problems on BSD/os. | |
2918 | ||
2919 | - Fix a bunch of memory leaks. | |
2920 | ||
2921 | - Fix a couple of bugs in the option printer. | |
2922 | ||
2923 | - Fix an obscure error reporting bug in the dns update code, and also | |
2924 | make the message clearer when a key algorithm isn't supported. | |
2925 | ||
2926 | - Fix a bug in the tracing code that prevented trace runs that used | |
2927 | tcp connections from being played back. | |
2928 | ||
2929 | - Add some additional debugging capability for catching memory leaks | |
2930 | on exit. | |
2931 | ||
2932 | - Make the client release the lease correctly on shutdown. | |
2933 | ||
2934 | - Add some configurability to the build system. | |
2935 | ||
2936 | - Install omshell manual page in man1, not man8. | |
2937 | ||
2938 | - Craig Gwydir sent in a patch that fixes a long-standing bug in the | |
2939 | DHCP client that could cause core dumps, but that for some reason | |
2940 | hadn't been noticed until now. | |
2941 | ||
2942 | Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 7 | |
2943 | ||
2944 | - Fix a bug in failover where we weren't sending updates after a | |
2945 | transition from communications-interrupted to normal. | |
2946 | ||
2947 | - Handle expired/released/reset -> free transition according to the | |
2948 | protocol specification (this works - the other way not only wasn't | |
2949 | conformant, but also didn't work). | |
2950 | ||
2951 | - Add a control object in both client and server that allows either | |
2952 | daemon to be shut down cleanly. | |
2953 | ||
2954 | - When writing a lease, if we run out of disk space, shut down the | |
2955 | output file and insist on writing a new one before proceeding. | |
2956 | ||
2957 | - In the server, if the OMAPI listener port is occupied, keep trying | |
2958 | to get it, rather than simply giving up and exiting. | |
2959 | ||
2960 | - Support fetching variables from leases and also updating and adding | |
2961 | variables to leases via OMAPI. | |
2962 | ||
2963 | - If two failover peers have wildly different clocks, refuse to start | |
2964 | doing failover. | |
2965 | ||
2966 | - Fix a bug in the DNS update code that could cause core dumps when | |
2967 | running on alpha processors. | |
2968 | ||
2969 | - Fixed a bug in ddns updates for static lease entries, thanks to a | |
2970 | patch from Andrey M Linkevitch. | |
2971 | ||
2972 | - Add support for Darwin/MacOS X | |
2973 | ||
2974 | - Install omshell (including new documentation). | |
2975 | ||
2976 | - Support DNS updates in the client (this is a very obscure feature | |
2977 | that most DHCP client users probably will not be able to use). | |
2978 | ||
2979 | - Somewhat cleaner status logging in the client. | |
2980 | ||
2981 | - Make OMAPI key naming syntax compatible with the way keys are | |
2982 | actually named (key names are domain names). | |
2983 | ||
2984 | - Fix a bug in the lease file writer. | |
2985 | ||
2986 | - Install DHCP ISC headers in a different place than BIND 9 ISC | |
2987 | headers, to avoid causing trouble in BIND 9 builds. | |
2988 | ||
2989 | - Don't send updates for attributes on an object when the attributes | |
2990 | haven't changed. Support deleting attributes on remote objects. | |
2991 | ||
2992 | - Fix a number of bugs in omshell, and add the unset and refresh | |
2993 | statements. | |
2994 | ||
2995 | - Handle disconnects in OMAPI a little bit more intelligently (so that | |
2996 | the caller gets ECONNRESET instead of EINVAL). | |
2997 | ||
2998 | - Fix a bunch of bugs in the handling of clients that have existing | |
2999 | leases when the try to renew their leases while failover is | |
3000 | operating. | |
3001 | ||
eaf0b302 TL |
3002 | Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 6 |
3003 | ||
3004 | - Fix a core dump that could happen when processing a DHCPREQUEST from | |
3005 | a client that had a host declaration that contained both a | |
3006 | fixed-address declaration and a dhcp-client-identifier option | |
3007 | declaration, if the client identifier was longer than nine bytes. | |
3008 | ||
3009 | - Fix a memory leak that could happen in certain obscure cases when | |
3010 | using omapi to manipulate leases. | |
3011 | ||
3012 | - Fix some bugs and omissions in omshell. | |
3013 | ||
eaf0b302 TL |
3014 | Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 5 |
3015 | ||
3016 | - Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that prevented objects in | |
3017 | chains from having their reference counts decreased on dereference. | |
3018 | ||
3019 | - Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that would prevent object | |
3020 | chains from being freed upon removal of the last reference external | |
3021 | to the chain. | |
3022 | ||
3023 | - Fix a number of other memory leaks in the OMAPI protocol subsystem. | |
3024 | ||
3025 | - Add code in the OMAPI protocol handler to trace memory leakage. | |
3026 | ||
3027 | - Clean up the memory allocation/reference history printer. | |
3028 | ||
98311e4b | 3029 | - Support input of dotted quads and colon-separated hex lists as |
eaf0b302 TL |
3030 | attribute values in omshell. |
3031 | ||
98311e4b | 3032 | - Fix a typo in the Linux interface discovery code. |
eaf0b302 TL |
3033 | |
3034 | - Conditionalize a piece of trace code that wasn't conditional. | |
3035 | ||
3036 | Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 4 | |
3037 | ||
3038 | - Fix a bug that would prevent leases from being abandoned properly on | |
3039 | DHCPDECLINE. | |
3040 | ||
3041 | - Fix failover peer OMAPI support. | |
3042 | ||
3043 | - In failover, correctly handle expiration of leases. Previously, | |
3044 | leases would never be reclaimed because they couldn't make the | |
3045 | transition from EXPIRED to FREE. | |
3046 | ||
3047 | - Fix some broken failover state transitions. | |
3048 | ||
3049 | - Documentation fixes. | |
3050 | ||
3051 | - Take out an unnecessary check in DHCP relay agent information option | |
3052 | stashing code that was preventing REBINDING clients from rebinding. | |
3053 | ||
3054 | - Prevent failover peers from allocating leases in DHCPREQUEST | |
3055 | processing if the lease belongs to the other server. | |
3056 | ||
3057 | - Record server version in lease file introductory comment. | |
3058 | ||
3059 | - Correctly report connection errors in OMAPI and failover. | |
3060 | ||
3061 | - Make authentication signature algorithm name comparisons in OMAPI | |
3062 | case-insensitive. | |
3063 | ||
3064 | - Fix compile problem on SunOS 4.x | |
3065 | ||
98311e4b | 3066 | - If a signature algorithm is not terminated with '.', terminate it so |
eaf0b302 TL |
3067 | that comparisons between fully-qualified names will work |
3068 | consistently. | |
3069 | ||
3070 | - Different SIOCGIFCONF probe code, may "fix" problem on some Linux | |
3071 | systems with the probe not working correctly. | |
3072 | ||
3073 | - Don't allow user to type omapi key on command line of omshell. | |
3074 | ||
0596b051 TL |
3075 | Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 3 |
3076 | ||
3077 | - Do lease billing on startup in a way that I *think* will finally do | |
3078 | the billing correctly - the previous method could overbill as a | |
3079 | result of duplicate leases. | |
3080 | ||
3081 | - Document OMAPI server objects. | |
3082 | ||
892fe689 TL |
3083 | Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 2 Patchlevel 1 |
3084 | ||
3085 | - Fix some problems in the DDNS update code. Thanks to Albert | |
3086 | Herranz for figuring out the main problem. | |
3087 | ||
3088 | - Fix some reference counting errors on host entries that were causing | |
3089 | core dumps. | |
3090 | ||
3091 | - Fix a byte-swap bug in the token ring code, thanks to Jochen | |
3092 | Friedrich. | |
3093 | ||
3094 | - Fix a bug in lease billing, thanks to Jonas Bulow. | |
3095 | ||
3096 | Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 2 | |
3097 | ||
3098 | - Change the conditions under which a DHCPRELEASE is actually | |
3099 | committed to be consistent with lease binding states rather than | |
98311e4b | 3100 | using the lease end time. This may fix some problems with the |
892fe689 TL |
3101 | billing class code. |
3102 | ||
3103 | - Fix a bug where lease updates would fail on Digital Unix (and maybe | |
3104 | others) because malloc was called with a size of zero. | |
3105 | ||
3106 | - Fix a core dump that happens when the DHCP server can't create its | |
3107 | trace file. | |
3108 | ||
79ea3de8 | 3109 | Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 1 Patchlevel 1 |
87784777 | 3110 | |
79ea3de8 TL |
3111 | - Fix the dhcp_failover_put_message to not attempt to allocate a |
3112 | zero-length buffer. Some versions of malloc() fail if you try to | |
3113 | allocate a zero-length buffer, and this was causing problems on, | |
3114 | e.g., Digital Unix. | |
3115 | ||
3116 | - Fix a case where the failover code was printing an error message | |
3117 | when no error had occurred. | |
3118 | ||
3119 | - Fix a problem where when a server went down and back up again, the | |
3120 | peer would not see a state transition and so would stay in the | |
3121 | non-communicating state. | |
3122 | ||
3123 | - Be smart about going into recover_wait. | |
3124 | ||
3125 | - Fix a problem in the failover implementation where peers would fail | |
3126 | to come into sync if interrupted in the RECOVER state. This could | |
3127 | have been the cause of some problems people have reported recently. | |
3128 | ||
3129 | - Fix a problem with billing classes where they would not be unbilled | |
3130 | when the client lease expired. | |
3131 | ||
3132 | - If select fails, figure out which descriptor is bad, and cut it out | |
3133 | of the I/O loop. This prevents a potentially nasty spin. I | |
3134 | haven't heard any report it in a while, but it came up consistently | |
3135 | in testing. | |
3136 | ||
3137 | - Fix a bug in the relay agent where if you specified interfaces on | |
3138 | the command line, it would fail. | |
3139 | ||
3140 | - Fix a couple of small bugs in the omapi connection object (no known | |
3141 | user impact). | |
3142 | ||
3143 | - Add the missing 3.0 Beta 1 lease conversion script. | |
3144 | ||
3145 | - Read dhcp client script hooks if they exist, rather than only if | |
3146 | they're executable. | |
3147 | ||
3148 | Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 1 | |
87784777 TL |
3149 | |
3150 | - Fix a memory smash that happens when fixed-address leases are used. | |
3151 | ANY SITE AT WHICH FIXED-ADDRESS STATEMENTS ARE BEING USED SHOULD | |
3152 | UPGRADE IMMEDIATELY. This has been a long-standing bug - thanks to | |
3153 | Alvise Nobile for discovering it and helping me to find it! | |
3154 | ||
79ea3de8 TL |
3155 | - Fix a small bug in binary-to-ascii, thanks to H. Peter Anvin of |
3156 | Transmeta. | |
3157 | ||
87784777 TL |
3158 | - There is a known problem with the DHCP server doing failover on |
3159 | Compaq Alpha systems. This patchlevel is not a release candidate | |
3160 | because of this bug. The bug should be straightforward to fix, so | |
3161 | a new release candidate is expected shortly. | |
3162 | ||
3163 | - There is a known problem in the DDNS update code that is probably a | |
3164 | bug, and is not, as far as we know, fixed in this patchlevel. | |
3165 | ||
6d779c72 TL |
3166 | Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 24 |
3167 | ||
3168 | - Went over problematic failover state transitions and made them all | |
3169 | work, so that failover should now much less fragile. | |
3170 | ||
3171 | - Add some dhcpctl and omapi documentation | |
3172 | ||
3173 | - Fix compile errors when compiling with unusual predefines. | |
3174 | ||
3175 | - Make Token Ring work on Linux 2.4 | |
3176 | ||
3177 | - Fix the Digital Unix BPF_WORDALIGN bug. | |
3178 | ||
3179 | - Fix some dhcp client documentation errors. | |
3180 | ||
3181 | - Update some parts of the README file. | |
3182 | ||
3183 | - Support GCC on SCO. | |
3184 | ||
adbef119 | 3185 | Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 23 |
de57e64b TL |
3186 | |
3187 | - Fix a bug in the DNS update code where a status code was not being | |
3188 | checked. This may have been causing core dumps. | |
3189 | ||
3190 | - When parsing the lease file, if a lease declaration includes a | |
3191 | billing class statement, and the lease already has a billing class, | |
3192 | unbill the old class. | |
3193 | ||
3194 | - When processing failover transactions, where acks will be deferred, | |
3195 | process the state transition immediately. | |
3196 | ||
3197 | - Don't try to use the new SIOCGIFCONF buffer size detection code on | |
3198 | Linux 2.0, which doesn't provide this functionality. | |
3199 | ||
3200 | - Apply a patch suggested by Tuan Uong for a problem in dlpi.c. | |
3201 | ||
3202 | - Fix a problem in using the which command in the configure script. | |
3203 | ||
3204 | - Fix a parse error in the client when setting up an omapi listener. | |
3205 | ||
3206 | - Document the -n and -g flags to the client. | |
3207 | ||
3208 | - Make sure there is always a stdin and stdout on startup. This | |
3209 | prevents shell scripts from accidentally writing error messages into | |
3210 | configuration files that happen to be opened as stderr. | |
3211 | ||
3212 | - If an interface is removed, the client will now notice that it is | |
3213 | gone rather than spinning. This has only been tested on NetBSD. | |
3214 | ||
3215 | - The client will attempt to get an address even if it can't create a | |
3216 | lease file. | |
3217 | ||
3218 | - Don't overwrite tracefiles. | |
3219 | ||
3220 | - Fix some memory allocation bugs in failover. | |

140158d3 TL |
3223 | |
3224 | - Apply some patches suggested by Cyrille Lefevre, who is maintaining | |
3225 | the FreeBSD ISC DHCP Distribution port. | |
3226 | ||
3227 | - Fix a core dump in DHCPRELEASE. | |
3228 | ||
adbef119 | 3229 | Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 21 |
3a395e60 TL |
3230 | |
3231 | - This time for sure: fix the spin described in the changes for pl20. | |
3232 | ||
adbef119 | 3233 | Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 20 |
fc74dd0c TL |
3234 | |
3235 | - Fix a problem with Linux detecting large numbers of interfaces (Ben) | |
3236 | ||
3237 | - Fix a memory smash in the quotify code, which was introduced in | |
3238 | pl19. | |
3239 | ||
3240 | - Actually fix the spin described in the changes for pl20. The | |
3241 | previous fix only partially fixed the problem - enough to get it | |
3242 | past the regression test. | |
3243 | ||
adbef119 | 3244 | Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 19 |
ed5ee591 TL |
3245 | |
3246 | - Fix a bug that could cause the server to abort if compiled with | |
3247 | POINTER_DEBUG enabled. | |
3248 | ||
3249 | - Fix a bug that could cause the server to spin when responding to a | |
3250 | DHCPREQUEST. | |
3251 | ||
3252 | - Apply Joost Mulders' suggested patches for DLPI on x86. | |
3253 | ||
3254 | - Support NUL characters in quoted strings. | |
3255 | ||
3256 | - Install unformatted man pages on SunOS. | |
3257 | ||
adbef119 | 3258 | Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 18 |

3350f5b7 TL |
3260 | - Allow the server to be placed in partner-down state using OMAPI. |
3261 | (Damien Neil) | |
3262 | ||
3263 | - Implement omshell, which can be used to do arbitrary things to the | |
3264 | server (in theory). (Damien Neil) | |
3265 | ||
3266 | - Fix a case where if a client had two different leases the server could | |
3267 | actually dereference the second one when it hadn't been referenced, | |
3268 | leading to memory corruption and a core dump. (James Brister) | |
3269 | ||
3270 | - Fix a case where a client could request the address of another client's | |
3271 | lease, but find_lease wouldn't detect that the other client had it, and | |
3272 | would attempt to allocate it to the client, resulting in a lease conflict | |
3273 | message. | |
3274 | ||
3275 | - Fix a case where a client with more than one client identifier could be | |
3276 | given a lease where the hardware address was correct but the client | |
3277 | identifier was not, resulting in a lease conflict message. | |
3278 | ||
98311e4b | 3279 | - Fix a problem where the server could write out a colon-separated |
3350f5b7 TL |
3280 | hex list as a value for a variable, which would then not parse. |
3281 | The fix is to always write strings as quoted strings, with any | |
3282 | non-printable characters quoted as octal escape sequences. So | |
3283 | a file written the old way still won't work, but new files written | |
3284 | this way will work. | |
3285 | ||
b3fad8ac TL |
3286 | - Fix documentation for sending non-standard options. |
3287 | ||
3288 | - Use unparsable names for unknown options. WARNING: this will | |
3289 | break any configuration files that use the option-nnn convention. | |
3290 | If you want to continue to use this convention for some options, | |
3291 | please be sure to write a definition, like this: | |
3292 | ||
3293 | option option-nnn code nnn = string; | |
3294 | ||
3295 | You can use a descriptive name instead of option-nnn if you like. | |
3296 | ||
3297 | - Fix a problem where we would see a DHCPDISCOVER/DHCPOFFER/ | |
3298 | DHCPREQUEST/DHCPACK/DHCPREQUEST/DHCPNAK sequence. This was the | |
3299 | result of a deceptively silly bug in supersede_lease. | |
3300 | ||
3301 | - Fix client script exit status check, according to a fix supplied by | |
3302 | Hermann Lauer. | |
3303 | ||
3304 | - Fix an endianness bug in the tracefile support, regarding ICMP | |
3305 | messages. | |
3306 | ||
3350f5b7 TL |
3307 | - Fix a bug in the client where the medium would not work correctly if |
3308 | it contained quoted strings. | |
3309 | ||

adbef119 | 3312 | Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 16 |
e6d30fd6 | 3313 | |
6da9db9d TL |
3314 | - Add support for transaction tracing. This allows the state of the |
3315 | DHCP server on startup, and all the subsequent transactions, to be | |
3316 | recorded in a file which can then be played back to reproduce the | |
3317 | behaviour of the DHCP server. This can be used to quickly | |
3318 | reproduce bugs that cause core dumps or corruption, and also for | |
3319 | tracking down memory leaks. | |
3320 | ||
3321 | - Incorporate some bug fixes provided by Joost Mulders for the DLPI | |
3322 | package which should clear up problems people have been seeing on | |
3323 | Solaris. | |
3324 | ||
3325 | - Fix bugs in the handling of options stored as linked lists (agent | |
3326 | options, fqdn options and nwip options) that could cause memory | |
3327 | corruption and core dumps. | |
3328 | ||
3329 | - Fix a bug in DHCPREQUEST handling that resulted in DHCPNAK messages | |
3330 | not being send in some cases when they were needed. | |
3331 | ||
3332 | - Make the lease structure somewhat more compact. | |
3333 | ||
3334 | - Make initial failover startup *much* faster. This was researched | |
3335 | and implemented by Damien Neil. | |
3336 | ||
3337 | - Add a --version flag to all executables, which prints the program | |
3338 | name and version to standard output. | |
3339 | ||
3340 | - Don't rewrite the lease file every thousand leases. | |
3341 | ||
e6d30fd6 TL |
3342 | - A bug in nit.c for older SunOS machines was fixed by a patch sent in |
3343 | by Takeshi Hagiwara. | |
3344 | ||
6da9db9d TL |
3345 | - Fix a memory corruption bug in the DHCP client. |
3346 | ||
3347 | - Lots of documentation updates. | |
3348 | ||
3349 | - Add a feature allowing environment variables to be passed to the | |
3350 | DHCP client script on the DHCP client command line. | |
3351 | ||
3352 | - Fix client medium support, which had been broken for some time. | |
3353 | ||
3354 | - Fix a bug in the DHCP client initial startup backoff interval, which | |
3355 | would cause two DHCPDISCOVERS to be sent back-to-back on startup. | |
3356 | ||
adbef119 | 3357 | Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 15 |
af49fdff TL |
3358 | |
3359 | - Some documentation tweaks. | |
3360 | ||
3361 | - Maybe fix a problem in the DLPI code. | |
3362 | ||
3363 | - Fix some error code space inconsistencies in ddns update code. | |
3364 | ||
3365 | - Support relay agents that intercept unicast DHCP messages to stuff | |
3366 | agent options into them. | |
3367 | ||
3368 | - Fix a small memory leak in the relay agent option support code. | |
3369 | ||
c5b569f8 TL |
3370 | - Fix a core dump that would occur if a packet was sent with no |
3371 | options. | |
3372 | ||
adbef119 | 3373 | Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 14 |
754ae3e9 TL |
3374 | |
3375 | - Finish fixing a long-standing bug in the agent options code. This | |
3376 | was causing core dumps and failing to operate correctly - in | |
3377 | particular, agent option stashing wasn't working. Agent option | |
3378 | stashing should now be working, meaning that agent options can be | |
3379 | used in class statements to control address allocation. | |
3380 | ||
3381 | - Fix up documentation. | |
3382 | ||
3383 | - Fix a couple of small memory leaks that would have added up | |
3384 | significantly in a high-demand situation. | |
3385 | ||
3386 | - Add a log-facility configuration parameter. | |
3387 | ||
3388 | - Fix a compile error on some older operating systems. | |
3389 | ||
3390 | - Add the ability in the client to execute certain statements before | |
3391 | transmitting packets to the server. Handy for debugging; not much | |
3392 | practical use otherwise. | |
3393 | ||
3394 | - Don't send faked-out giaddr when renewing or bound - again, useful | |
3395 | for debugging. | |
3396 | ||
adbef119 | 3397 | Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 13 |
2f2e7960 TL |
3398 | |
3399 | - Fixed a problem where the fqdn decoder would sometimes try to store | |
3400 | an option with an (unsigned) negative length, resulting in a core | |
3401 | dump on some systems. | |
3402 | ||
3403 | - Work around the Win98 DHCP client, which NUL-terminates the FQDN | |
3404 | option. | |
3405 | ||
3406 | - Work around Win98 and Win2k clients that will claim they want to do | |
3407 | the update even when they don't have any way to do it. | |
3408 | ||
3409 | - Fix some log messages that can be printed when failover is operating | |
3410 | that were not printing enough information. | |
3411 | ||
3412 | - It was possible for a DHCPDISCOVER to get an allocation even when | |
3413 | the state machine said the server shouldn't be responding. | |
3414 | ||
3415 | - Don't load balance DHCPREQUESTs from clients in RENEWING and | |
3416 | REBINDING, since in RENEWING, if we heard it, it's for us, and in | |
3417 | REBINDING, the client wouldn't have got to REBINDING if its primary | |
3418 | were answering. | |
3419 | ||
3420 | - When we get a bogus state lease binding state transition, don't do | |
3421 | the transition. | |
3422 | ||
3423 | ||
adbef119 | 3424 | Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 12 |

3425 | |
3426 | - Fixed a couple of silly compile errors. | |
3427 | ||
a1e2e3d6 TL |
3428 | Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 11 |
3429 | ||
3430 | - Albert Herranz tracked down and fixed a subtle bug in the base64 | |
3431 | decoder that would prevent any key with an 'x' in its base64 | |
3432 | representation from working correctly. | |
3433 | ||
3434 | - Thanks to Chris Cheney and Michael Sanders, we have a fix for the | |
3435 | hang that they both spotted in the DHCP server - when | |
3436 | one-lease-per-client was set, the code to release the "other" lease | |
3437 | could spin. | |
3438 | ||
3439 | - Fix a problem with alignment of the input buffer in bpf in cases | |
3440 | where two packets arrive in the same bpf read. | |
3441 | ||
3442 | - Fix a problem where the relay agent would crash if you specified an | |
3443 | interface name on the command line. | |
3444 | ||
3445 | - Add the ability to conditionalize client behaviour based on the | |
3446 | client state. | |
3447 | ||
3448 | - Add support for the FQDN option, and added support for a new way of | |
3449 | doing ddns updates (ddns update style interim) that allows more than | |
3450 | one DHCP server to update the DNS for the same network(s). This | |
3451 | was implemented by Damien Neil with some additional functionality | |
3452 | added by Ted Lemon. | |
3453 | ||
3454 | - Damien added a "log" statement, so that the configuration file can | |
3455 | be made to log debugging information and other information. | |
3456 | ||
3457 | - Fixed a bug that caused option buffers not to be terminated with an | |
3458 | end option. | |
3459 | ||
3460 | - Fixed a long-standing bug in the support for option spaces where the | |
3461 | options are stored as an ordered list rather than in a hash table, | |
3462 | which could theoretically result in memory pool corruption. | |
3463 | ||
3464 | - Prevent hardware declarations with no actual hardware address from | |
3465 | being written as something unparsable, and behave correctly in the | |
3466 | face of a null hardware address on input. | |
3467 | ||
3468 | - Allow key names to be FQDNs, and qualify the algorithm name if it is | |
3469 | specified unqualified. | |
3470 | ||
3471 | - Modify the DDNS update code so that it never prints the "resolver | |
3472 | failed" message, but instead says *why* the resolver failed. | |
3473 | ||
3474 | - Officially support the subnet selection option, which now has an | |
3475 | RFC. | |
3476 | ||
3477 | - Fix a build bug on MacOS X. | |
3478 | ||
3479 | - Allow administrator to disable ping checking. | |
3480 | ||
3481 | - Clean up dhcpd.conf documentation and add more information about how | |
3482 | it works. | |
3483 | ||
6c68ec36 TL |
3484 | Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 10 |
3485 | ||

3487 | to CVS. | |
3488 | ||
9fd337e7 TL |
3489 | Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 9 |
3490 | ||
3491 | - Fix DHCP client handling of vendor encapsulated options. | |
3492 | ||
3493 | - Fix a bug in the handling of relay agent information options introduced | |
3494 | in patchlevel 9. | |
3495 | ||
3496 | - Stash agent options on client leases by default, and use the stashed | |
3497 | options at renewal time. | |
3498 | ||
3499 | - Add the ability to test the client's binding state in the client | |
3500 | configuration language. | |
3501 | ||
3502 | - Fix a core dump in the DNS update code. | |
3503 | ||
3504 | - Fix some expression evaluation bugs that were causing updates to be | |
3505 | done when no client hostname was received. | |
3506 | ||
3507 | - Fix expression evaluation debugging printfs. | |
3508 | ||
3509 | - Teach pretty_print_option to print options in option spaces other than | |
3510 | the DHCP option space. | |
3511 | ||
3512 | - Add a warning message if the RHS of a not is not boolean. | |
3513 | ||
3514 | - Never select for more than a day, because some implementations of | |
3515 | select will just fail if the timeout is too long (!). | |
3516 | ||
3517 | - Fix a case where a DHCPDISCOVER from an unknown network would be | |
3518 | silently dropped. | |
3519 | ||
3520 | - Fix a bug where if a client requested an IP address for which a different | |
3521 | client had the lease, the DHCP server would reallocate it anyway. | |
3522 | ||
3523 | - Fix the DNS update code so that if the client changes its name, the DNS | |
3524 | will be correctly updated. | |
3525 | ||

3529 | bounds-checking. | |
3530 | ||
3531 | Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 7 | |
848c2547 TL |

0f6045f8 | 3536 | |
f8572308 TL |
3537 | - Fix a possible DoS attack where a client could cause the checksummer |
3538 | to dump core. This was a read, not a write, so it shouldn't be | |
3539 | possible to exploit it any further than that. | |
3540 | ||
3541 | - Implement client- and server-side support for using the Client FQDN | |
3542 | option. | |
3543 | ||
3544 | - Support for other option spaces in the client has been added. This | |
3545 | means that it is now possible to define a vendor option space on the | |
3546 | client, request options in that space from the server (which must | |
3547 | define the same option space), and then use those options in the | |
3548 | client. This also allows NWIP and Client FQDN options to be used | |
3549 | meaningfully. | |
3550 | ||
3551 | - Add object initializer support. This means that objects can now be | |
3552 | initialized to something other than all-zeros when allocated, which | |
3553 | makes, e.g., the interface object support code a little more robust. | |
3554 | ||
3555 | - Fix an off-by-one bug in the host stuffer. This was causing host | |
3556 | deletes not the work, and may also have been causing OMAPI | |
3557 | connections to get dropped. Thanks to James Brister for tracking | |
3558 | this one down! | |
3559 | ||
3560 | - Fixed a core dump in the interface discovery code that is triggered | |
3561 | when there is no subnet declaration for an interface, but the server | |
3562 | decides to continue running. Thanks to Shane Kerr for tracking | |
3563 | down and fixing this problem. | |
3564 | ||
3565 | Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 5 | |
3566 | ||
0f6045f8 TL |
3567 | - Fix a bug in the recent enhancement to the interface discovery code |
3568 | to support arbitrary-length interface lists. | |
3569 | ||
3570 | - Support NUL-terminated DHCP options when initializing client-script | |
3571 | environment. | |
3572 | ||
3573 | - Fix suffix operator. | |
3574 | ||
3575 | - Fix NetWare/IP option parsing. | |
3576 | ||
3577 | - Better error/status checking in dhcpctl initialization and omapi | |
3578 | connection code. | |
3579 | ||
3580 | - Fix a potential memory smash in dhcpctl code. | |
3581 | ||
3582 | - Fix SunOS4 and (maybe) Ultrix builds. | |
3583 | ||
3584 | - Fix a bug where a certain sort of incoming packet could cause a core | |
3585 | dump on Solaris (and probably elsewhere). | |
3586 | ||
3587 | - Add some more safety checks in error logging code. | |
3588 | ||
3589 | - Add support for ISC_R_INCOMPLETE in OMAPI protocol connection code. | |
3590 | ||
3591 | - Fix relay agent so that if an interface is specified on the command | |
3592 | line, the relay agent does not dump core. | |
3593 | ||
3594 | - Fix class matching so that match if can be combined with match or | |
3595 | spawn with. | |
3596 | ||
3597 | - Do not allow spurious leases in the lease database to introduce | |
3598 | potentially bogus leases into the in-memory database. | |
3599 | ||
3600 | - Fix a byte-order problem in the client hardware address type code | |
3601 | for OMAPI. | |
3602 | ||
3603 | - Be slightly less picky about what sort of hardware addresses OMAPI | |
3604 | can install in host declarations. | |

3606 | Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 4 |
3607 | ||
3608 | - Incorporated Peter Marschall's proposed change to array/record | |
3609 | parsing, which allows things like the slp-agent option to be encoded | |
3610 | correctly. Thanks very much to Peter for taking the initiative to | |
3611 | do this, and for doing such a careful job of it (e.g., updating the | |
3612 | comments)! | |
3613 | ||
3614 | - Added an encoding for the slp-agent option. :') | |
3615 | ||
6ed7a93d TL |
3616 | - Fixed SunOS 4 build. Thanks to Robert Elz for responding to my |
3617 | request for help on this with patches! | |
3618 | ||
3619 | - Incorporated a change that should fix a problem reported by Philippe | |
3620 | Jumelle where when the network connection between two servers is | |
3621 | lost, they never reconnect. | |
3622 | ||
3623 | - Fix client script files other than that for NetBSD to actually use | |
3624 | make_resolv_conf as documented in the manual page. | |
3625 | ||
3626 | - Fix a bug in the packet handling code that could result in a core | |
3627 | dump. | |
3628 | ||
3629 | - Fix a bug in the bootp code where responses on the local net would | |
3630 | be sent to the wrong MAC address. Thanks to Jerry Schave for | |
3631 | catching this one. | |
3632 | ||
490eb5e7 TL |
3633 | Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 3 |
3634 | ||
3635 | - In the DHCP client, execute client statements prior to using the values | |
45d545f0 | 3636 | of options, so that the client configuration can overridden, e.g., the |
490eb5e7 TL |
3637 | lease renewal time. |
3638 | ||
3639 | - Fix a reference counting error that would result in very reproducible | |
3640 | failures in updates, as well as occasional core dumps, if a zone was | |
3641 | declared without a key. | |
3642 | ||
3643 | - Fix some Linux 2.0 compilation problems. | |
3644 | ||
3645 | - Fix a bug in scope evaluation during execution of "on" statements that | |
3646 | caused values not to be recorded on leases. | |
3647 | ||
3648 | - If the dhcp-max-message-size option is specified in scope, and the | |
3649 | client didn't send this option, use the one specified in scope to | |
3650 | determine the maximum size of the response. | |
3651 | ||

3652 | Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 2 |
3653 | ||
359b023e TL |
3654 | - Fix a case where spawning subclasses were being allocated |
3655 | incorrectly, resulting in a core dump. | |
3656 | ||
592d8153 TL |
3657 | - Fix a case where the DHCP server might inappropriately NAK a |
3658 | RENEWING client. | |
3659 | ||
3660 | - Fix a place dhcprequest() where static leases could leak. | |
3661 | ||
3662 | - Include memory.h in omapip_p.h so that we don't get warnings about | |
3663 | using memcmp(). | |
3664 | ||
2aa36519 TL |
3665 | Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 1 |
3666 | ||
3667 | - Notice when SIOCFIGCONF returns more data than fit in the buffer - | |
3668 | allocate a larger buffer, and retry. Thanks to Greg Fausak for | |
3669 | pointing this out. | |
3670 | ||
3671 | - In the server, if no interfaces were configured, report an error and | |
3672 | exit. | |
3673 | ||
3674 | - Don't ever record a state of 'startup'. | |
3675 | ||
3676 | - Don't try to evaluate the local failover binding address if none was | |
3677 | specified. Thanks to Joseph Breu for finding this. |
