d618ba48 41 Changes since 4.3.0 (new features)
1e08558f 42
0ee00c5b
SR
43- Insert the raw data from a fully encapsualted option into the option cache.
44 This allows "exists" to check for the option if any sub options exist. It
45 also adds the raw data to the environment variables supplied to the client
46 script.
47 [ISC-Bugs #39863]
48
a53c9bf2
FD
49- Pass configure arguments which begin with an upper case letter, e.g.
50 CFLAGS, to the embedded bind configure, so it is no longer required
51 to use environment variables to get the same effect.
52 [ISC-Bugs #35143]
53
81f844d2
FD
54- Added --enable-kqueue, --enable-epoll, --enable-devpoll and a more
55 general --with-bind-extra-config to pass extra options to the
56 embedded bind configure. Note we had mixed experiences with this
54ee18cf 57 so it is at the user risk, i.e., they are NOT SUPPORTED yet.
f285576d 58 [ISC-Bugs #20890]
81f844d2 59
53c7a535
FD
60- Changed the way the embedded bind Makefile is updated by configure.
61 The only user visible side effect is that --with-libbind now requires
62 either "no" or an (absolute) path, i.e. "yes" is no longer valid.
63 [ISC-Bugs #43227]
64
d163c8f7
TM
65- Added the support for git repositories in the util/bind.sh script.
66 When you build ISC DHCP from a git repo, i.e., without a "bind"
67 directory populated as in the release distribution file, you may now
4b914743
FD
68 create the bind directory, change to it and clone the private
69 (repo.isc.org/proj/git/prod/bind9.git) or the public
290a7613 70 (https://source.isc.org/git/bind9.git) git repository into
d163c8f7 71 bind/bind9 and then invoke the util/bind.sh script as usual.
c4ea4af0
FD
72 Note this option is incompatible with "make dist" (and make "distcheck")
73 because no bind/bind.tar.gz nor bind/version.tmp files are available.
4b914743
FD
74 [ISC-Bugs #43236]
75
e94e7f23
FD
76- Use the embedded bind libraries where they are built (vs where they
77 are installed).
78 [ISC-Bugs #39319]
79
a1372bbe
FD
80- Use last version (9.11) of plain embedded bind libraries in place of
81 older (9.9) version of export bind libraries.
82 [ISC-Bugs #43215]
83
5a2e8c37 84- Using "make distcheck" now works with external bind libraries (aka
c4ea4af0
FD
85 configure --with-libbind).
86 [ISC-Bugs #43285]
87
3210786b
TM
88- The server now allows the client identifier (option 61) to own leases
89 in more than one subnet concurrently. Prior to this the server would
90 incorrectly release an existing lease in one subnet prior to assigning
91 a lease in another subnet. Note that the prior behavior can be still
92 be achieved by enabling one-lease-per-client. Thanks to both David Zych at
93 the University of Illinois and Norm Proffitt of Infoblox for reporting
94 the issue; and Norm for suggesting a solution.
95 [ISC-Bugs #41358]
96
f9741514
FD
97- Added --enable-bind-install to install embedded bind includes and
98 libraries. Default is to not install them (it was the previous
99 behavior). If you'd like to change the includedir and/or libdir
5a67b030
FD
100 installation directories to something different than for ISC DHCP
101 you must pass them using the --with-bind-extra-config configuration
102 arguments.
f9741514
FD
103 [ISC-Bugs #39318]
104
007ba82a
FD
105- Added support of dynamic shared libraries with libtool. A new
106 --enable-libtool configuration parameter is available but
107 should not be used directly: *please* read the build configuration
108 section in the README file for the recommended procedure.
109 [ISC-Bugs #29402]
110
417b7b4a
TM
111- IPv6 operation now supports an EUI-64 based address allocation which will
112 calculate addresses for clients with EUI-64 DUIDs based on those DUIDs when
113 enabled by setting use-eui-64 true. The parameter may defined down to the
114 pool scope. Note this feature must be compiled in by defining EUI_64 in
115 includes/site.h. This flag is undefined by default.
116 [ISC-Bugs #43927]
117
c8f0b32a
MS
118- Added new compile time option --with-srv-conf-file which specifies a
119 default location of the server configuration file.
120 [ISC-Bugs #44765]
121
a68ec967
MS
122- Added --dad-wait-time parameter to dhclient. It specifies the maximum time,
123 in seconds, that the client process should wait for the duplicate address
124 detection to complete before initiating DHCP requests. This value is
125 propagated to the dhclient script and the script is responsible for waiting
126 the specified amount of time or until DAD has completed. If the script does
127 not support it, specifying this parameter has no effect. The default value
128 is 0 which specifies that the script should not wait for DAD. With this
129 change the following scripts have been modified to support the new parameter:
130 freebsd, linux, macos, netbsd, openbsd.
131 [ISC-Bugs #36169]
132
251bb4b9 133- Modified DDNS support initialization such that DNS related ports will only be
ca22af89
TM
134 opened by the server (dhcpd) at startup if ddns-update-style is not "none";
135 by dhclient only if and when the it first attempts an update; and never by
136 dhcrelay. Prior to this all three always did the initialization at startup
137 which causes them to always open on and listen for traffic on two random
ff343a30 138 ports. Thanks to Rodney Beede for reporting the issue.
ca22af89
TM
139 [ISC-Bugs #45290]
140 [ISC-Bugs #33377]
141
8c785e79
TM
142- Added error logging to two memory allocation failure checks. Thanks to Bill
143 Parker (wp02855 at gmail dot com) for reporting the issue.
144 [ISC-Bugs #41185]
145
251bb4b9 146- Corrected a dhclient -6 issue that caused the client to crash with an
147 "Impossible condition" error after de-preferencing its only IA binding.
148 The crash occurred when server configuration changes rendered the existing
01bfe9c5
TM
149 binding out-of-range and no other leases were available to offer. Thanks
150 to Pierre Clerissi for bringing this issue to our attention.
251bb4b9 151 [ISC-Bugs #44373]
152
5c03ed37 153- By defining CALL_SCRIPT_ON_ONETRY_FAIL in includes/site.h, dhclient will
154 now call the script with reason set to FAIL when run with -1 (one try) and
155 there are no server responses. This applies to IPv4 mode only. Thanks for a
156 patch by Martin Pitt which got to us via Andrew Pollock.
a489cc48
TM
157 [ISC-bugs #18183]
158
6573afff 159- Linux script updated. The script is now based on Debian version. It uses
fbe81d8e
TM
160 ip tool from iproute2 package and ifconfig is no longer used. This also
161 addresses an issue of calling arping with inappropriate parameter.
6573afff 162 [ISC-bugs #19430]
fbe81d8e 163 [ISC-bugs #18111]
6573afff 164
30afd7db 165- The directory minires has been removed from the source tree. It has
c1beb003 166 long been obsolete for branches other than v4_1_esv. Additionally,
30afd7db
TM
167 includes/minires.h was renamed includes/ns_name.h.
168 [ISC-bugs #45471]
169
b3e6fd51
TM
170- The directory includes/isc-dhcp and it's only occupant, dst.h, have
171 been removed from the source tree. They are obsolete for branches
172 other than v4_1_esv.
173 [ISC-bugs #45541]
174
7512d88b
TM
175- Replaced ISC licensing with Mozilla Public License, MPL 2.0 licensing
176 throughout. Please see https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/MPL/2.0/ to read
177 the MPL 2.0 license terms.
178 [ISC-Bugs #45541]
179
3e985dbf
TM
180- Load balancing for failover peers can now be disabled by setting
181 "load balance max secs" to 0. Doing so for both peers means both
182 servers will respond to all DHCPDISCOVERs or DHCPREQUESTs as soon as
183 they are received.
184 [ISC-Bugs #39669]
185
c0e9661e
TM
186- Added a new dhclient command line parameter, --prefix-len-hint <length>.
187 When used in conjunction with -P, it directs dhclient to use the given
8e219746
TM
188 length as the prefix length hint when requesting prefixes. Thanks to
189 H. Peter Anvin for suggesting this change.
3e88222f
TM
190 [ISC-Bugs #43792]
191 [ISC-Bugs #35112]
192 [ISC-Bugs #32228]
193 [ISC-Bugs #29470]
194
195- dhclient will now wait for 10 seconds after declining an IPv4 address
196 before issuing a discover. This is in keeping with RFC 2131, section 3.1.5.
197 Prior to this dhclient did not wait at all. The amount of time dhclient
198 waits can be specified via a new command line parameter:
199 --decline-wait-time <seconds>. A value of zero equates to no wait at all.
ecf9f77b 200 Thanks to Pavel Kankovsky for bringing this matter to our attention.
3e88222f 201 [ISC-Bugs #45457]
c0e9661e 202
83f1dd95
TM
203- Corrected dhclient command line parsing for --dad-wait-time that causes
204 even valid values to fail as invalid on some environments.
205 [ISC-Bugs #46535]
206
35e86889
TM
207- dhclient will now include the lease address when logging DHCPOFFERs,
208 DHCPREQUESTs, DHCPACKs, DHCPRELEASEs, and DHCPDECLINEs. Additionally,
209 DHCPOFFERs will be logged before their corresponding DHCPREQUESTs are
210 sent and logged.
211 [ISC-Bugs #2729]

279 When asked for the version don't send the output to syslog.
280 [ISC-Bugs #29772]
281 Add the next server information to the environment variables for
282 use by the client script. In order to avoid changing the client
283 lease file the next server information isn't written to it.
284 Thanks to Tomas Hozza at Red Hat for the suggestion and a prototype fix.
285 [ISC-Bugs #33098]
21f3982a 286
d618ba48

291 of permission bits due to the paranoia patch to be after the pid code.
292 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the bug report and fix.
293 [ISC-Bugs #25806]
294 When processing a "--version" request don't output the version information
295 to syslog.
33dca28a 296
d618ba48
SR
297- Add the "enable-log-pid" build option to the configure script. When enabled
298 this causes the client, server and relay programs to include the PID
299 number in syslog messages.
300 Thanks to Marius Tomaschewski for the suggestion and proto-patch.
301 [ISC-Bugs #29713]
33dca28a 302
d618ba48
SR
303- Add a #define to specify the prefix length used when a client attempts
304 to configure an address. This can be modified by editing includes/site.h.
305 By default it is set to 64. While 128 might be a better choice it would
306 also be a change for currently running systems, so we have left it at 64.
307 [ISC-Bugs #DHCP-2]
7da1ac2b 308
d618ba48
SR
309- Add a run time option to the client "-df" to allow the administrator to
310 point to a second lease file the client can search for a DUID. This can
311 be used to allow a v4 and a v6 instance of the client to share a DUID.
312 The second file will only be searched if there isn't a DUID in the main
313 lease file and the DUID will be written out to the main lease file.
314 [ISC-Bugs #34886]
e82906fc 315
d618ba48
SR
316- Have the client fsync the lease file to avoid lease corruption if the
317 client hibernates or otherwise shuts down.

320- Add a check for L2VLAN in bpf.c to help support VLAN interfaces
321 Thanks to Steinar Haug for the suggestion.
322 [ISC-Bugs #36033]
5cc6f201 323
d618ba48
SR
324- Modify the handling of the resolv.conf file to allow the DHCP
325 process to start up even if the resolv.conf file has problems.
326 [ISC-Bugs #35989]
88c3ff5d 327
d618ba48
SR
328- Add threshold logging functionality. Two new options,
329 log-threshold-low and log-threshold-high, indicate to the
330 server if and when it should log an error message as addresses
331 in a pool are used.
332 [ISC-Bugs #34487]

389- Remove unneeded error #defines. These defines were included in case
390 external programs required the older versions of the macro. They
391 have been #ifdeffed for now and will be removed at a future date.
392 See site.h for the #define to include them again, but you should
393 switch to using the DHCP_R_* versions instead of the ISC_R_* versions.
394 Also ISC_R_MULTIPLE has been removed as it is also defined in bind.

406- Addressed checksum issues:
407 Added checksum readiness check to Linux packet filtering which eliminates
408 invalid packet drops due to checksum errors when checksum offloading is
409 in use. Based on dhcp-4.2.2-xen-checksum.patch made to the Fedora project.

421- Added the echo-client-id configuration parameter to the server configuration.
422 The server now supports RFC 6842 compliant behavior by setting a new
423 configuration parameter, echo-client-id. When enabled, the server will
424 include the client identifier option (Option code 61) if received, in its
425 responses. The server identifier returned in NAKs (if enabled) will now
426 be the globally defined value (if one) if the server cannot attribute the
427 inbound request to a known subnet.

441- In the failover code, handle the case of communications being interrupted
442 when the servers are dealing with POTENTIAL-CONFLICT. This patch allows
443 the primary to accept the secondary moving from POTENTIAL-CONFLICT to
444 RESOLUTION-INTERRUPTED as well as handling the bind update process better.
445 In addition the code to resend update or update all requests has been
446 modified to send requests more often.

450- By default, the server will now choose the value to use in the forward DNS
451 name from the following in order of preference:
1d3fc4d0 452
d618ba48
SR
453 1. FQDN option if provided by the client
454 2. Host name option if provided by the client
455 3. Configured option host-name if defined
68b5d395 456
d618ba48

457 As before, this may be overridden by defining ddns-hostname to the desired
458 value (or expression). In addition, the server logic has been extended to
459 use the value of the host name declaration if use-host-decl-names is enabled
460 and no other value is available.

469- Corrected an issue which caused dhclient to incorrectly form the result when
470 prepending or appending to the IPv4 domain-search option, received from the

472 components.

dce576b8 474
d618ba48
SR
475- Added the server-id-check parameter to the server configuration.
476 This parameter allows run-time control over whether or not a server,
477 participating in failover, verifies the dhcp-server-identifier option in
478 DHCP REQUESTs against the server's id before processing the request.
479 Formerly, enabling this behavior was done at compilation time through
480 the use of the #define, SERVER_ID_CHECK, which has been removed from site.h
481 The functionality is now only available through the new runtime parameter.
482 [ISC-Bugs #37551]
45086eef 483
d618ba48
SR
484- During startup, when the server encounters a lease whose binding state is
485 FTS_BACKUP but whose pool has no configured failover peer, it will reset the
486 lease's binding state to FTS_FREE. This allows the leases to be reclaimed
487 by the server after a pool's configuration has changed from failover to
488 standalone. Prior to this such leases would remain stuck in the backup state
489 making them unavailable for assignment. Note this conversion will occur
490 whether or not the server is compiled for failover.

493- Fixed a small issue in the treatment of hosts in the inform processing
494 that could cause the response to an inform to include information from
495 the wrong scope. The two examples we've heard of are getting subnet
496 instead of group information associated with a host entry, or getting
497 global information instead of subnet if the host entry was built via
498 omapi. Thanks to Julien Soula at University of Lille for finding the
499 bug and supplying a patch.

507- Move the check for a PID file and process to be before we rewrite the
508 lease file. This avoids the possibility of starting a second instance
509 of a server which changes the current lease file confusing the first
510 instance. This check is only included if the admin hasn't disabled PID
511 files.

520- Modified Linux packet handling such that packets received via VLAN are now
521 seen only by the VLAN interface. Prior to this, such packets were seen by
522 both the VLAN interface and its parent (physical) interface, causing the
523 server to respond to both. Note this remains an issue for non-Linux OSs.

530- Log content has been changed to more directly suggest that admins should
531 check for multiple IPv6 clients attempting to use the same DUID when only
532 abandoned addresses are available. Debug level logging will now emit counts
533 of the total number of, in-use, and abandoned addresses in a shared subnet
534 when the server finds no addresses available for a given DUID. Lastly,
535 threshold logging is now automatically disabled for shared subnets whose
536 total number of possible addresses exceeds (2^64)-1.

d618ba48
SR
540- Added a global parameter, prefix-length-mode, which may be used to determine
541 how the server uses a non-zero value for prefix-length supplied by clients
542 when soliciting DHCPv6 prefixes. The server supports selection modes of:
543 ignore, prefer, exact, minimum and maximum which are described in detail in
544 the server man pages. The prior behavior of the server was to only offer a
545 prefix whose length exactly matched the prefix-length value requested. If
546 no such prefixes were available, the server returned a status of none
547 available. Note the default mode, "exact", provides this same behavior.

551- Corrected inconsistencies in dhcrelay's setting the upper interface hop count
552 limit such that it now sets it to 32 when the upstream address is a multicast
553 address per RFC 3315 Section 20. Prior to this if the -u argument preceded
554 the -l argument on the command line or if the same interface was specified
555 for both; the logic to set the hop limit count for the upper interface was
556 skipped. This caused the hop count limit to be set to the default value
557 (typically 1) in the outbound upstream packets.

560- Modify the linux and openwrt dhclient scripts to process information
561 from a stateless request. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the

565- Remove more unused RCSID tags. These weren't noticed in 4.3 as
566 the code isn't used anymore but we remove them here to keep the
567 code consistent across versions.
568 [ISC-Bugs #36451]
569
570- The server now does a better check to see if it can allocate the memory
571 for large blocks of v4 leases and should provide a slightly better error
572 message. Note well: the server pre-allocates v4 addresses, if you use
573 a large range, such as a /8, the server will attempt to use a large
574 amount of memory and may not start if there either isn't enough memory
bc549dd9
SR
575 or the size exceeds what the code supports.
576 [ISC-Bugs #38637]

578- The server will now reject unicast Request, Renew, Decline, and Release
579 messages from a client unless the server would have sent that client the
580 dhcp6.unicast option. This behavior is in compliance with paragraph 1 in
581 each of the sections 18.2,1, 18.2.3, 18.2.6, and 18.2.7 of RFC 3315. Prior
582 to this, the server would simply accept the messages. Now, in order for
583 the server to accept such a message, the server configuration must include
584 the dhcp6.unicast option either globally or within the shared network to
585 which the requested lease belongs. In other words, the server will map
586 the first IA_XX address found within the client message to a shared-network
587 and look for the presence of the unicast option there and then globally.

634- Add support for accessing the v4 lease queues (active, free etc) in a
635 binary fashion instead of needing to walk through a linear list to
636 insert, find or remove an entry from the queues. In addition add a
637 compile time option "--enable-binary-leases" to enable the new code

656- Corrected an issue in v6 lease file parsing. Prior to this, when encountering
657 a lease with an address for which no configured pool exists, the server was
658 declaring the lease file corrupt and incorrectly skipping over the subsequent
659 entry in the file. The server will now emit a log message indicating that
660 no pool was found for the address (or prefix) and correctly resume parsing
cacce092 661 with the next entry in the lease file. Our thanks to Michal Žejdl for

665- Be more liberal in finding a subnet group associated with a static
666 prefix. When we added the class matching code for v6 we also added
667 a requirement that the static prefix must be within a subnet the
668 client was in, in order to find the proper statements. We now
669 look for a subnet based on the prefix, failing that on the static
670 address for the client and failing that on the shared network
671 itself.

739- Unit test execution now uses a path augmented during configuration
740 processing of the --with-atf option to locate ATF runtime tools, atf-run
741 and atf-report. For most installations of ATF, this should alleviate the
742 need to manually include them in the PATH, as was formerly required.
743 If the configure script cannot locate the tools it will emit a warning,
744 informing the user that the tools must be in the PATH when running unit
745 tests.
746 Secondly, please note that "make check" will now exit with a failure status
747 code (non-zero) if one or more unit tests fail. This means that invoking
748 "make check" from an upper level directory will cause the make process to
749 STOP after the first test subdirectory with failed test(s). To force all
750 tests in all subdirectories to run, regardless of individual test outcome,
751 use the command "make -k check".

1191
1192- If a client renews before 'dhcp-cache-threshold' percent of its lease
1193 has elapsed (default 25%), the server will reuse the allocated lease
1194 (provide a lease within the currently allocated lease-time) rather
1195 than extend or renew the lease. This absolves the server of needing
1196 to perform an fsync() operation on the lease database before reply,
1197 which improves performance. [ISC-Bugs #22228]
80778e94 1198 Updated this patch to support asynchronous DDNS. If the server is

1207- A problem with missing get_hw_addr function when --enable-use-sockets
1208 was used is now solved on GNU/Linux, BSD and GNU/Hurd systems. Note
1209 that use-sockets feature was not tested on those systems. Client and
1210 server code no longer use MAX_PATH constant that is not defined on

1213- Add a perl script in the contrib directory, dhcp-lease-list.pl, which
1214 can parse v4 lease files and output the lease information in a more
1215 human friendly manner. This was written by Christian Hammers with
1216 some updates by vom and ISC. This is contributed code and is not
1217 supported by ISC; however it may be useful to some users.

1226- Update the DDNS code to current standards and allow for sharing
1227 of DDNS entries between v4 and v6 clients. The new code is used
1228 if the ddns-update-style is set to "standard", the older code is
1229 still available if ddns-update-style is set to "interim". The
1230 oldest DDNS code "ad-hoc" has been removed. Thanks to Thomas Pegeot

SR
1235- Add a configuration option to the server to suppress using fsync().
1236 Enabling this option will mean that fsync() is never called. This
1237 may provide better performance but there is also a risk that a lease
1238 will not be properly written to the disk after it has been issued
1239 to a client and before the server stops. Using this option is
1240 not recommended.

1243- Add some logging statements to indicate when the server is ready
1244 to serve. One statement is emitted after the server has finished
1245 reading its files and is about to enter the dispatch loop.
1246 This is "Server starting service.".
1247 The second is emitted when a server determines that both it and
1248 its failover peer are in the normal state.

80778e94 1261 to find a reasonable nameserver via a DNS resolver. This restores
e54ff84f
SR
1262 some functionality that was lost in the transition to asynchronous
1263 DDNS. Due to the lack of security and increase in fragility of the
1264 system when using this feature we strongly recommend the use of
1265 appropriate zone statements rather than using this functionality.

SR
1268- Add support for specifying the address from which to send
1269 DDNS updates on the DHCP server. There are two new options

1271 one instance of their respective address types.

SR
1308- An optimization described in the failover protocol draft is now included,
1309 which permits a DHCP server operating in communications-interrupted state
1310 to 'rewind' a lease to the state most recently transmitted to its peer,
1311 greatly increasing a server's endurance in communications-interrupted.
1312 This is supported using a new 'rewind state' record on the dhcpd.leases
1313 entry for each lease.

1320- When constructing the DNS name structure from a text string append
1321 the root to relative names. This satisfies a requirement in the DNS
1322 library that names be absolute instead of relative and prevents DHCP

SR
1325- "The LDAP Patch" that has been circulating for some time, written by
1326 Brian Masney and S.Kalyanasundraram and maintained for application to
1327 the DHCP-4 sources by David Cantrell has been included. Please be
1328 advised that these sources were contributed, and do not yet meet the
1329 high standards we place on production sources we include by default.
1330 As a result, the LDAP features are only included by using a compile-time
1331 option which defaults off, and if you enable it you do so under your
1332 own recognizance. We will be improving this software over time.

1352 previously allocated (active) lease to a client that has changed subnets,

1569- 'dhclient' no longer waits a random interval after first starting up to
1570 begin in the INIT state. This conforms to RFC 2131, but elects not to
9a111ee8 1571 implement a 'SHOULD' direction in section 4.1. The goal of this change
73c83820 1572 is to start up faster. [ISC-Bugs #19660]

1573
1574- Added 'initial-delay' parameter that specifies maximum amount of time
1575 before client goes to the INIT state. The default value is 0. In previous
1576 versions of the code client could wait up to 5 seconds. The old behavior
5d082abd 1577 may be restored by using 'initial-delay 5;' in the client config file.

1580- ICMP ping-check should now sit closer to precisely the number of seconds
1581 configured (or default 1), due to making use of the new microsecond
1582 scale timer internally to dhcpd. This corrects a bug where the server
1583 may immediately timeout an ICMP ping-check if it was made late in the
73c83820 1584 current second. [ISC-Bugs #19660]

1585
1586- The DHCP client will schedule renewal and rebinding events in
1587 microseconds if the DHCP server provided a lease-time that would result
1588 in sub-1-second timers. This corrects a bug where a 2-second or lower
1589 lease-time would cause the DHCP client to enter an infinite loop by
73c83820 1590 scheduling renewal at zero seconds. [ISC-Bugs #19660]

1592- Client lease records are recorded at most once every 15 seconds. This

1595
1596- To defend against RFC 2131 non-compliant DHCP servers which fail to
1597 advertise a lease-time (either mangled, or zero in value) the DHCP
1598 client now adds the server to the reject list ACL and returns to INIT
1599 state to hopefully find an RFC 2131 compliant server (or retry in INIT
73c83820 1600 forever). [ISC-Bugs #19660]

1613 configuration parameter, in the case of an agent not covered by a configured
1614 subnet the root configuration area is examined. Server now also returns
1615 vendor-class-id option, if client sent it. [ISC-Bugs #21094]

1834! Previously the server code was relaxed to allow packets with zero
1835 length client ids to be processed. Under some situations use of
1836 zero length client ids can cause the server to go into an infinite
1837 loop. As such ids are not valid according to RFC 2132 section 9.14
1838 the server no longer accepts them. Client ids with a length of 1
1839 are also invalid but the server still accepts them in order to
1840 minimize disruption. The restriction will likely be tightened in
1841 the future to disallow ids with a length of 1.

2004- Failover port configuration can now be left to defaults (port 647) as
2005 described in the -12 revision of the Failover draft (and assigned by
4b97eaff 2006 IANA). Thanks in part to a patch from David Cantrell at Red Hat.

DH
2017- A new failover configuration parameter has been introduced for those
2018 environments where DHCP servers can be reasonably guaranteed to be
2019 "down" when the failover TCP socket is severed, "auto-partner-down".
2020 This parameter is not generally safe, and by default is disabled, so
2021 please carefully review the documentation of this parameter in the
2022 dhcpd.conf(5) manpage before determining to use it yourself.
2023
33ea4622
DH
2024- Added a configuration function, 'gethostname()', which calls the system
2025 function of the same name and presents the results as a data expression.
2026 This function can be used to incorporate the system level hostname of
2027 the system the DHCP software is operating on in responses or queries (such
2028 as including a failover partner's hostname in a dhcp message or binding
2029 scope, or having a DHCP client send any system hostname in the host-name or
2030 FQDN options by default).

DH
2032- The dhcp-renewal-time and dhcp-rebinding-time options may now be configured
2033 for DHCPv4 operation and used independently of the dhcp-lease-time
2034 calculations. Invalid renew and rebinding times (e.g., greater than the
2035 determined lease time) are omitted.

2052 which is seen in some malformed DHCP client packets, was modified.
2053 It now logs the universe name, and does not log the length values
2054 (which are bogus corruption read from the packet anyway). It also
2055 carries a hopefully more useful explanation.

2083- A bug in DLPI packet transmission (Solaris, HP/UX) that caused the server
2084 to stop receiving packets is fixed. The same fix also means that the MAC
2085 address will no longer appear 'bogus' on DLPI-based systems.
2086
2087- A bug in select handling was discovered where the results of one select()
2088 call were discarded, causing the server to process the next select() call
2089 and use more system calls than required. This has been repaired - the
2090 sockets will be handled after the first return from select(), resulting in
2091 fewer system calls.
2092
a3dcc0b1
DH
2093- The update-conflict-detection feature would leave an FQDN updated without
2094 a DHCID (still currently implemented as a TXT RR). This would cause later
2095 expiration or release events to fail to remove the domain name. The feature
2096 now also inserts the client's up to date DHCID record, so records may safely
2097 be removed at expiration or release time. Thanks to a patch submitted by
2098 Christof Chen.

DH
2100- Memory leak in the load_balance_mine() function is fixed. This would
2101 leak ~20-30 octets per DHCPDISCOVER packet while failover was in use
2102 and in normal state.

2116- Compilation on Solaris with USE_SOCKETS defined in includes/site.h has
2117 been repaired. Other USE_ overrides should work better.

2119- A check for the local flavor of IFNAMSIZ had a broken 'else' condition,
2120 that probably still resulted in the correct behaviour (but wouldn't use
2121 a larger defined value provided by the host OS).
2122

DH
2123- Fixed a bug where an OMAPI socket disconnection message would not result
2124 in scheduling a failover reconnection, if the link had not negotiated a

2126 timeouts).

2132 remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands as root on the system,
2133 or simply terminate the client, by providing an over-long subnet-mask

DH
2150- Secondary servers in a failover pair will now perform ddns removals if
2151 they had performed ddns updates on a lease that is expiring, or was
2152 released through the primary. As part of the same fix, stale binding scopes
2153 will now be removed if a change in identity of a lease's active client is
2154 detected, rather than simply if a lease is noticed to have expired (which it
2155 may have expired without a failover server noticing in some situations).
2156
583c1c16
DH
2157- A patch supplied by David Cantrell at RedHat was applied that detects
2158 invalid calling parameters given to the ns_name_ntop() function.
2159 Specifically, it detects if the caller passed a pointer and size pair
2160 that causes the pointer to integer-wrap past zero.

2267da84
DH
2168- Both host and subnet6 configuration groups are now included whether a
2169 fixed-address6 (DHCPv6) is in use or not. Host scoped configuration takes
2170 precedence. This fixes two bugs, one where host scoped configuration
2171 would not be included from a non-fixed-address6 host record, and the equal
2172 and opposite bug where subnet6 scoped configuration would not be used when
571c38b0 2173 over-riding values were not present in a matching fixed-address6 host

2177 correcting a compilation failure when using Sun's compiler.
2178
0493fdca
SR
2179- Modified the handling of a connection to avoid releasing the omapi io
2180 object for the connection while it is still in use. One symptom from
2181 this error was a segfault when a failover secondary attempted to connect
2182 to the failover primary if their clocks were not synchronized.
2183
95bba8b6
SR
2184- Clean up to allow compilation with gcc 2.95.4 on FreeBSD. Remove an
2185 extra semi-colon from common/dns.c and moved setting a variable to NULL
2186 in server/dhcpv6.c to allow the compiler to decide that the variable
9a111ee8 2187 was always properly set.

DH
2293- A bug in subnet6 parsing where options contained in subnet6 clauses would
2294 not be applied to clients addressed within that network was repaired.
2295
2296- When configuring a "subnet {}" or "subnet6 {}" without an explicit
2297 shared-network enclosing it, the DHCP software would synthesize a
2298 shared-network to contain the subnet. However, all configuration
2299 parameters within the subnet more intuitively belong "to any client
2300 on that interface", or rather the synthesized shared-network. So,
2301 when a shared-network is synthesized, it is used to contain the
2302 configuration present inside the subnet {} clause. This means that
2303 the configuration will be valid for all clients on that network, not
2304 just those addressed out of the stated subnet. If you intended the
2305 opposite, the workaround is to explicitly configure an empty
2306 shared-network.
2307
2308- A bug was fixed where Information-Request processing was not sourcing
2309 configured option values.

EH
2342- It's now possible to update the "ends" field of a lease with OMAPI.
2343 This is useful if you want not only to release a lease, but also make
2344 it available for reuse right away. Hat tip to Christof Chen.
2345
9a111ee8 2346- Fixed definition of the iaaddr hash functions to use the correct
1dcc3612
SK
2347 functions when referencing and dereferencing memory.
2348
aabfa4de
FD
2349- Some definitions not in phase with the IANA registry were updated.
2350
0674055a
FD
2351- Allocated interface IDs are better controlled ('u' bit set to zero,
2352 reserved IDs avoided).
2353
b51c785f
FD
2354- Unicast options are taken into account only for RENEWs.
2355
900405e9
FD
2356- NoAddrsAvail answers to SOLICITs are always ADVERTISEs even when a SOLICIT
2357 carries a rapid-commit option.
2358
96b620e5
FD
2359- Return in place of raise an impossible condition when one tries to release
2360 an empty active lease.
2361
be62cf06
FD
2362- Timer granularity is now 1/100s in the DHCPv6 client.
2363
01a54c17
EH
2364- The dhclient-script was updated to create a host route for the default
2365 gateway if the supplied subnet mask for an IPv4 address was a /32. This
2366 allows the client to work in 'captive' network environments, where the
2367 operator does not want clients to crosstalk directly.
2368
adb95d23 2369- MINUS tokens should be parsable again.
01a54c17
EH
2370
2371- Multiple (up to "delayed-ack x;" maximum) DHCPv4 packets are now queued and
2372 released in bursts after single fsync() events when the upper limit is
2373 reached or if the receiving sockets go dry. The practical upshot is
2374 that fsync-coupled server performance is now multiplicitively increased.
2375 The default delayed ack limit is 28. Thanks entirely to a patch from
2376 Christof Chen.
2377
2378 Changes since 4.0.0 (bug fixes)
2379
2380- DHCP now builds on AIX.
2381
2382- Exit with warning when DHCPv6-specific statements are used in the
2383 config file but -6 is not specified.
2384
2385- Fixed "--version" flag in dhcrelay
2386
2387- The 'min-secs' configuration parameter's log message has been updated to
2388 be more helpful.
2389
2390- The warning logged when an address range doesn't fit in the subnets
2391 they were declared has been updated to be more helpful and identify the
2392 typo in configuration that created the spanning addresses.
2393
2394- A bug in failover pool rebalancing that caused POOLREQ message ping-pongs
2395 was repaired.
2396
2397- A flaw in failover pool rebalancing that could cause POOLREQ messages to
2398 be sent outside of the min-balance/max-balance scheduled intervals has
2399 been repaired.
2400
2401- A cosmetic bug during potential-conflict recovery that caused the peer's
2402 'conflict-done' state message to be logged as 'unknown-state' has been
2403 repaired. It is now logged correctly.
2404
49f61135
DH
2405- A bug was fixed where the 'giaddr' may be used to find the client's subnet
2406 rather than its own 'ciaddr'.
2407
41d4652f
DH
2408- A log message was introduced to clarify the situation where a failover
2409 'address' parameter (the server's local address) did not resolve to an
2410 IPv4 address.
2411
2c9bf1f4
DH
2412- The minimum site code value was set to 224 in 3.1.0 to track RFC3942. This
2413 broke a lot of legacy site local configurations. The new code in place will
2414 track site local space minimum option codes and logs a warning to encourage
2415 updates and exploration of site local code migration problems. Option
2416 codes less than 128 in site local spaces remain inaccessible.
2417
2418- A possible relay agent option bug was repaired where random server
2419 initialization state may have been used to signal the relay agent
2420 information options sub-option code for the 'END' of the option space.
2421
cff9b78f
SK
2422- Fixes to allow code to compile and run on Solaris 9.
2423
c4d29896
SK
2424- Fixes to allow code to compile on Mac OS X Leopard (10.5).
2425
57fcb8d9
SK
2426- When server is configured with options that it overrides, a warning is
2427 issued when the configuration file is read, rather than at the time the
2428 option is overridden. This was important, because the warning was given
9a111ee8 2429 every time the option was overridden, which could create a lot of
57fcb8d9
SK
2430 unnecessary logging.
2431
219a65eb
DH
2432- Fixed a compilation problems on platforms that define a value for FDDI,
2433 which conflicts with a dhcp configuration syntax token by the same name.
2434
ffdf3c8c
DH
2435- When a failover server suspects it has encountered a peer running a
2436 version 3.0.x failover server, a warning that the failover wire protocol
2437 is incompatible is printed.
2438
2439- The failover server no longer issues a floating point error if it encounters
2440 a previously undefined option code.
2441
00a002fc
MA
2442- Fix startup error messages to report a missing "subnet6 declaration", rather
2443 than a missing "subnet declaration", when running as a DHCPv6 server.
2444
9a111ee8 2445- DHCPv6 client timestamp in DUID was based on the year 1970 rather
7e9f7a1b
FD
2446 than the year 2000.
2447
e2cfde76
FD
2448- Warn when attempting to use a hardware parameter in DHCPv6.
2449
cabdb9b1
FD
2450- DHCPv6 released resources are now marked as released by the client.

2452- 'Soft' bindings have no more side-effects.
2453
61d75ea2
DH
2454 Changes since 4.0.0b3
2455
2456- The reverse dns name for PTR updates on IPv6 addresses has been fixed to
2457 use ip6.arpa. rather than default to in-addr.arpa and require user
2458 configuration.
76db44f9 2459
e32529a5
EH
2460- dhc6_lease_destroy() and dhc6_ia_destroy() now set lease and IA pointers
2461 to NULL after freeing, to prevent subsequent accesses to freed memory.
2462
9a111ee8 2463- The DHCPv6 server would not send the preference option unless the
76db44f9
SK
2464 client requested it, via the ORO. This has been fixed, so the DHCPv6
2465 server will always send the preference value if it is configured.
e4a6be15 2466
9a111ee8
TM
2467- When addresses were passed as hints to the server in an IA, they were
2468 incorrectly handled, sometimes being treated as an error. Now the
6f76de58
SK
2469 server will treat these as hints and ignore them if it cannot supply
2470 a requested address.
2471
703873ab
DH
2472- If the client had multiple addresses, and one expired (was not renewed
2473 by the server), the client would continue to attempt to renew the same
2474 old address over and over. Now, the client will omit any expired
2475 addresses from future Confirm, Renew, or Rebind messages.
2476
2477- dhclient -6 will now select renew/rebind timers based upon the longest
2478 address expiration time rather than the shortest expiration time, in
2479 order to avoid cascading renewals in the event a server elects not to
2480 extend one of multiple IAADDR leases.
2481
b024480e
DH
2482- The server now limits clients that request multiple addresses to one
2483 address per IA by default, which can be adjusted through the
2484 "limit-addrs-per-ia" configuration option.
2485
c0216cb7
DH
2486- The DHCPv6 client now issues fresh transaction IDs on Renew and Rebind
2487 message exchanges, rather than using the most recent ID.
2488
1ac57173
FD
2489- The DHCPv6 server now replies to Information-Request messages.
2490
83835822
DH
2491- A bug was fixed in the dhclient-script for BSDs to correctly carry error
2492 codes through some conditions.
2493
c54db708
FD
2494- The parsing of some options in the dhclient lease file, in particular
2495 the success DHCPv6 status-code, was fixed.
2496
e5d83524
DH
2497- A bug was fixed that caused the DHCPv6 ORO option to be corrupted with
2498 seemingly random values.

821f2dda
DH
2500- A reference overleak in DHCPv6 shared network processing was repaired.
2501
f8b3c6f4
DH
2502- ./configure now autodetects local database locations rather than trying
2503 to put dhcpd.leases and dhclient.leases in /usr/local/var/db, which no
2504 one ever has.
2505
9a111ee8
TM
2506- Regression fix for bug where server advertised a IPv6 address in
2507 response to a SOLICIT but would not return the address in response
b9137d42
SK
2508 to a REQUEST.
2509
9f1d5a2f
DH
2510- A bug was fixed where the DHCPv6 server puts the NoAddrsAvail status
2511 code in the IA_NA was fixed. The status code now appears in the root
2512 level.
2513
e4a6be15
DH
2514 Changes since 4.0.0b2
2515
65cf86d7
EH
2516- Clarified error message when lease limit exceeded
2517
b1d3778c
DH
2518- Relative time may now be used as a qualifier for 'allow' and 'deny' access
2519 control lists. These directives may be used to assist in re-addressing
2520 address pools without having to constantly reconfigure the server. Please
2521 see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more information on allow/deny 'after time' syntax.
2522 Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen.
2523
bead14ea
DH
2524- The server will now include multiple IA_NA's and multiple IAADDRs within
2525 them, if advertised by the client. It still only seeks to allocate one
2526 new address.
2527
f765ec36
SK
2528 Changes since 4.0.0b1
2529
75135a3f 2530- Use different paths for PID and lease files when running in DHCPv4
adb95d23 2531 or DHCPv6 mode, so that servers for both protocols can be run
75135a3f
EH
2532 simultaneously on a single interface.
2533
5c2d55c7
EH
2534- Fixed a buffer overflow error which could have allowed a denial
2535 of service under unusual server configurations
2536
2537- Eliminated a spurious error message from the client
2538
9a111ee8 2539- A number of bugs with the internal handling of lease state on the
f765ec36 2540 server have been fixed. Some of these could cause server crashes.
fa9b593d 2541
edb1283e
DH
2542- The peer_wants_leases() changes pulled up from 3.1.0 were corrected,
2543 'never used' leases will no longer consistently shift between servers
2544 on every pool rebalance run.
2545
c71c6399
DH
2546- sendmsg()/recvmsg() control buffers are now declared in such a way to
2547 ensure they are correctly aligned on all (esp. 64-bit) architectures.
2548
5279b8f3
DH
2549- The client leasing subsystem was streamlined and corrected to account
2550 more closely for changes in client link attachment selection.
2551
ab3a540f 2552 Changes since 4.0.0a3
763cba6b 2553
9a111ee8 2554- The DHCP server no longer requires a "ddns-update-style" statement,
884a458f
SK
2555 and now defaults to "none", which means DNS updates are disabled.
2556
fa9b593d
DH
2557- Log messages when failover peer names mismatch have been improved to
2558 point out the problem.
2559
9a111ee8 2560- Bug where server advertised a IPv6 address in response to a SOLICIT
1b5053b5
SK
2561 but would not return the address in response to a REQUEST. Thanks to
2562 Dennis Kou for finding the bug.
2563
c886c298
SK
2564- Fixed an error causing the server to lock up on lease expiration,
2565 reported independently by Jothilingam Vasu and Dennis Kou.
2566
eaf7eb17
DH
2567- Fixed a ./configure bug where compile tests were failing due to
2568 "-Werror" (unused variable) rather than the actual test failure. Lead
2569 to inconsistent and unworkable auto-configurations.
2570
109e00db
DH
2571- Compilation with DLPI and -Werror has been repaired.

9a111ee8 2573- Error in decoding IA_NA option if multiple interfaces are present
3ad9d48f
SK
2574 fixed by Marcus Goller.
2575
8eab95f2
DH
2576- DHCPv6 server Confirm message processing has been enhanced - it no
2577 longer replies only to clients with host {} records, it now replies
2578 as directed in RFC3315 section 18.2.2 - that is, to all clients
2579 regardless of the existence of bindings.
2580
07b9a351
DH
2581- A core dump during expired lease cleanup has been repaired.
2582
7285af30
DH
2583- DDNS updates state information are now stored in 'binding scopes' that
2584 follow the leases through their lifecycles. This enables DDNS teardowns
2585 on leases that are assigned and expired inbetween a server restart (the
2586 state is recovered from dhcpd.leases). Arbitrary user-specified binding
2587 scopes ('set var = "value";') are not yet supported.
2588

2607- An internal database inconsistency bug was repaired where the server
2608 would segfault if a client attempted to renew a lease that had been
2609 loaded from persistent storage.
2610
45d545f0 2611- 'request' and 'also request' syntaxes have been added to accommodate
0c20eab3
DH
2612 the DHCPv6 client configuration. 'send dhcp6.oro' is no longer
2613 necessary.
2614
9a111ee8
TM
2615- Bug fixed where configuration file parsing did not work with
2616 zero-length options; this made it impossible to set the
f800f4f6
SK
2617 rapid-commit option.

2676
2677- Include the more standard sys/uio.h rather than rely upon other
f66f02cc
DH
2678 header files to include it (fixes a BSD 4.2 compile failure).
2679
2680- Duplicate dhclient-script updates for DHCPv6 to all provided scripts.
a512d11b 2681
4ba58919
DH
2682- DHCPv4 I/O methods that failed to sense hardware address were corrected.
2683
2684- DHCPv4 is now the default (as documented) rather than DHCPv6. The default
2685 was set to DHCPv6 to facilitate ease early development, and forgotten.
2686
2687- Corrected a segmentation violation in DHCPv4 socket processing.
2688
8ea19a71 2689- dhclient will now fork() into the background once it binds to an
45d545f0 2690 IPv6 address, or immediately if the -n flag is supplied.
8ea19a71

DH
2701 Changes since 3.1.0 (NEW FEATURES)
2702
2703- DHCPv6 Client and Server protocol support. Use '-6' to run the daemons
2704 as v6-only. Use '-4' to run the daemons as v4-only (default. There is
2705 no support currently for both.
2706
2707- Server support for multiple IA_NA options, containing at most one
2708 IAADDR option.
2709
2710- Client support for one IA_NA option, containing any number of IAADDR
2711 options.
2712
2713- Server support for the DHCPv6 Information-request message.
2714
2715- Inappropriate unicast DHCPv6 messages sent to the server are now
2716 discarded, and this has rearchitected the IO system slightly.
2717
2718- The DHCPv6 server DUID defaults to type 1, is persistently stored in
2719 the leases database, and can be over-ridden (either completely, or by
2720 specifying type 1 or type 2).
2721
2722- The server only uses Rapid-Commit if it has been configured with the
2723 Rapid-Commit option and the client requests it.
2724
2725- DDNS support. We now update AAAA records in the same place we would
2726 update A records, if we have an IPv6 address. We also generate IP6.ARPA
2727 style names for PTR records if we're dealing with an IPv6 address. Both
2728 A and AAAA updates are done using the same 'fqdn.' virtual option space
2729 (although the DHCPv4 FQDN and DHCPv6 FQDN options are formatted
2730 differently, they both use the same code here).
2731
2732- The Linux dhclient-script attempts to set and remove assigned addresses,
2733 and to configure /etc/resolv.conf from nameserver and domain name
2734 configurations. It can be extended to configure other parameters.
2735
2736- Initial DHCPv6 lease support.
2737
2738- The IO system now tracks all local IP addresses, so that the DHCP
2739 applications (particularly the dhcrelay) can discern between what frames
2740 were transmitted to it, and what frames are being carried through it which
2741 it should not intercept.
2742

DH
2743 Changes since 3.1.0 (Maintenance)
2744
2745- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for virgin leases always
2746 mapped to the primary. Virgin leases now have an interleaved preference
2747 between primary and secondary.
2748
2749- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for clients with no client
2750 identifier was sometimes mishashed to the peer. Load balancing during
2751 runtime and pool rebalancing were opposing.
2752
aa3e348e
DH
2753- An assertion in lease counting relating to reserved leases was repaired.
2754
e9c59645
DH
2755- The subnet-mask option inclusion now conforms with RFC2132 section 3.3;
2756 it will only appear prior to the routers option if it is present on the
2757 Parameter-Request-List. The subnet-mask option will also only be
2758 included by default (if it is not on the PRL) in response to DISCOVER
2759 or REQUEST messages.
2760
2761- The FQDN option is only supplied if the client supplied an FQDN option or
2762 if the FQDN option was explicitly requested on the PRL.

DH
2766 Changes since 3.1.0rc1
2767
adb95d23 2768- The parse warning that 'deny dynamic bootp;' must be configured for
b9d0cc05
DH
2769 failover protected subnets was removed.
2770
a512cc3a
DH
2771 Changes since 3.1.0b2
2772
2773- Failover rebalance events no longer play ping pong with round errors
2774 (moving leases between free and back to backup where there are an
2775 odd number of leases).
2776
2777- The 'pool' log line has been split into two messages, one before the
2778 rebalance run, and one after.
2779
2780- Any queued BNDACKs are transmitted before transmitting new BNDUPDs.
2781 This enforces the correct sequence of events for the remote server
2782 processing these messages.
2783
fe5b0fdd 2784 Changes since 3.1.0b1
27837f95 2785
74dc3e0b
EH
2786- Fixed a bug that caused OMAPI clients to freeze when opening lease
2787 objects.
2788
1ba87b37
EH
2789- A new server config option "fqdn-reply" specifies whether the server
2790 should send out option 81 (FQDN). Defaults to "on". If set to "off",
2791 the FQDN option is not sent, even if the client requested it. This is
2792 needed because some clients misbehave otherwise. Thanks to Christof Chen
2793 at Allianz.
2794
a58da042
EH
2795- Allow trace output files (-tf option) to be overwritten, rather than
2796 crashing dhcpd if the file already exists
2797
61252edf
EH
2798- A bug was fixed that caused dhcpd to segfault if a pool was declared
2799 outside the scope of a subnet in dhcpd.conf.
2800
27837f95
DH
2801- Some uninitialized values were repaired in dhcpleasequery.c that
2802 caused the server to abort.
2803
4d2eaafb
DH
2804- A new server config option, 'do-reverse-updates', has been added
2805 which causes the server to abstain from performing updates on PTR
2806 records. Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen at Allianz.
2807
06211b40
DH
2808- A bug was repaired in subencapsulation support, where spaces separated
2809 by empty spaces would not get included.
2810
d6614ea2
DH
2811- A bug in dhclient was repaired which caused it to send parameter request
2812 lists of 55 bytes in length no matter how long the declared PRL was.
2813
132d38f2
DH
2814- 'dhcp.c(3953): non-null pointer' has been repaired. This fixes a flaw
2815 wherein the DHCPv4 server may ignore a configured server-identifier.
2816
fc3b9c90
DH
2817- A flaw in failover startup sequences was repaired that sometimes left
2818 the primary DHCP server's pool rebalance schedules unscheduled.
2819
c9feb859
DH
2820- Corrected a flaw that broke encapsulated spaces included due to presence
2821 on the parameter request list.

c57db45c
SK
2823 Changes since 3.1.0a3

bd2bc2fa
DH
2827 Changes since 3.1.0a2

2830 fatal internal error, "Unable to find server option 49".
2831
85edef5c
DH
2832- A bug was fixed in dhclient rendering the textual output form of the
2833 domain-search option syntax.

bdddcb7d
DH
2835 Changes since 3.1.0a1
2836
2837- A bug in the FQDN universe that added FQDN codes to the NWIP universe's
2838 hash table was repaired.
2839
616d67cb
DH
2840- The servers now try harder to transmit pending binding updates when
2841 entering normal state.
2842
2843- UPDREQ/UPDREQALL handling was optimized - it no longer dequeues and
2844 requeues all pending updates. This should reduce the number of spurious
66c8f734
DH
2845 'xid mismatch' log messages.
2846
2847- An option definition referencing leak was fixed, which resulted in early
2848 termination of dhclient upon the renewal event.
616d67cb 2849
6708d944
DH
2850- Some default hash table sizes were tweaked, some upwards, some downwards.
2851 3.1.0a1's tables resulted in a reduction in default server memory use.
2852 The new selected values provide more of a zero sum (increasing the size
2853 of tables likely to be populated, decreasing the size of tables unlikely).
2854
45d545f0 2855- Lease structures appear in three separate hashes: by IP address, by UID,
6708d944
DH
2856 and by hardware address. One type of table was used for all three, and
2857 improvements to IP address hashing were applied to all three (so UID and
2858 hardware addresses were treated like 4-byte integers). There are now two
2859 types of tables, and the uid/hw hashes use functions more appropriate
2860 to their needs.
2861
2862- The max-lease-misbalance percentage no longer causes scheduled rebalance
2863 runs to be skipped: it still governs the schedule, but every scheduled
2864 run will attempt balance.
2865
a7ee93fe
DH
2866- A segfault bug in recursive encapsulation support has been corrected.
2867
98311e4b
DH
2868 Changes since 3.0 (New Features)
2869
2870- A workaround for certain STSN servers that send a mangled domain-name
2871 option was introduced for dhclient. The client will now accept corrupted
2872 server responses, if they contain a valid DHCP_MESSAGE_TYPE (OFFER, ACK,
2873 or NAK). The server will continue to not accept corrupt client packets.
2874
98bd7ca0 2875- Support for 'reserved' (pseudo-static) and BOOTP leases via failover
a55ccdd0 2876 was introduced.
98311e4b
DH
2877
2878- Support for adding, removing, and managing class and subclass statements
2879 via OMAPI.
2880
a55ccdd0
DH
2881- The failover implementation was updated to comply with revision 12 of
2882 the protocol draft.
2883
98311e4b
DH
2884- 'make install' now creates the initial zero-length dhcpd.leases file if
2885 one does not already exist on the system.
2886
b43c87ad 2887- RFC3942 compliance, site-local option spaces start at 224 now, not 128.
b43c87ad 2888
0b17f049
DH
2889- The Load Balance Algorithm was misimplemented. The current implementation
2890 matches RFC 3074.
2891
2727c1cf
DH
2892- lcase() and ucase() configuration expressions have been added which adjust
2893 their arguments from upper to lower and lower to upper cases respectively.
2714a8ef 2894 Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
2727c1cf 2895
febbd402
DH
2896- The dhclient 'reject ...;' statement, which rejects leases given by named
2897 server-identifiers, now permits address ranges to be specified in CIDR
7d7073e7 2898 notation. Thanks to a patch from David Boyce.
febbd402 2899
ee912528
DH
2900- The subnet-mask option is now supplied by default, but at lowest
2901 priority. This helps a small minority of clients that provide parameter
2902 request lists, but do not list the subnet-mask option because they were
2903 designed to interoperate with a server that behaves in this manner.
2904
2905- The FQDN option is similarly supplied even if it does not appear on the
2906 parameter request list, but not to the exclusion of options that do
2907 appear at the parameter request list. Up until now it had ultimate
2908 priority over the client's parameter request list.
2909
f7fdb216 2910- Varying option space code and length bit widths (8/16/32) are now
51202707 2911 supported. This is a milestone in achieving RFC 3925 "VIVSO" and
f7fdb216
DH
2912 DHCPv6 support.
2913
5e864416
DH
2914- A new common (server or client) option, 'db-time-format local;', has
2915 been added which prints the local time in /var/db/dhcpd.leases rather
2916 than UTC. Thanks to a patch from Ken Lalonde.
2917
b500bd4c
DH
2918- Some patches to improve DHCP Server startup speed from Andrew Matheson
2919 have been incorporated.
2920
2426234f
DH
2921- Failover pairs now implement 'MAC Affinity' on leases moving from the
2922 active to free states. Leases that belonged to the failover secondary
2923 are moved to BACKUP state rather than FREE upon exiting EXPIRED state.
2924 If lease rebalancing must move leases, it tries first to move leases
2925 that belong to the peer in need.
2926
2927- The server no longer sends POOLREQ messages unless the pool is severely
2928 misbalanced in the peer's favor (see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more details).
2929
2930- Pool rebalance events no longer happen upon successfully allocating a
2931 lease. Instead, they happen on a schedule. See 'man dhcpd.conf' for the
2932 min-balance and max-balance statements for more information.
2933
334bf491
DH
2934- The DHCP Relay Agent Information Option / Link Selection Sub-Option
2935 is now supported. (See RFC3527 for details).
2936
3004bebf
DH
2937- A new DDNS related server option, update-conflict-detection, has been
2938 added. If this option is enabled, dhcpd will perform normal DHCID
2939 conflict resolution (the default). If this option is disabled, it will
2940 instead trust the assigned name implicitly (removing any other bindings
2941 on that name). This option has not been made available in dhclient.
2942
567e8561
DH
2943- In those cases where the DHCP software manufactures an IP header (to
2944 transmit via bpf, lpf, etc), the IP TTL the software selects has been
2945 increased from 16 to 128. This is intended to match Microsoft Windows
2946 DHCP Client behaviour, to increase compatibility.
2947
a396d25f
DH
2948- 'ignore client-updates;' now has behaviour that is different from
2949 'deny client-updates;'. The client's request is not truly ignored,
2950 rather it is encouraged. Should this value be configured, the server
2951 updates DNS as though client-updates were set to 'deny'. That is, it
2952 enters into DNS whatever it is configured to do already, provided it is
2953 configured to. Then it sends a response to the client that lets the
2954 client believe it is performing client updates (which it will), probably
2955 for a different name. In essence, this lets the client do as it will,
2956 ignoring this aspect of their request.
2957
dba5803b
DH
2958- Support for compressed 'domain name list' style DHCP option contents, and
2959 in particular the domain search option (#119) was added.
2960
41e45067 2961- The DHCP LEASEQUERY protocol as defined in RFC4388 is now implemented.
6d103865
SK
2962 LEASEQUERY lets you query the DHCP server for information about a lease,
2963 using either an IP address, MAC address, or client identifier. Thanks
2964 to a patch from Justin Haddad.
2965
41e45067
DH
2966- DHCPD is now RFC2131 section 4.1 compliant (broadcast to all-ones ip and
2967 ethernet mac address) on the SCO platform specifically without any strange
2968 ifconfig hacks. Many thanks go to the Kroger Co. for donating the
2969 hardware and funding the development.
6d103865 2970
b543fea9
DH
2971- A new common configuration executable statement, execute(), has been
2972 added. This permits dhcpd or dhclient to execute a named external
2973 program with command line arguments specified from other configuration
2974 language. Thanks to a patch written by Mattias Ronnblom, gotten to us
2975 via Robin Breathe.
2976
b22de500
DH
2977- A new dhcp server option 'adaptive-lease-time-threshold' has been added
2978 which causes the server to substantially reduce lease-times if there are
2979 few (configured percentage) remaining leases. Thanks to a patch submitted
2980 from Christof Chen.
2981
96bbe8c5
SK
2982- Encapsulated option spaces within encapsulated option spaces is now
2983 formally supported.
2984
b8221d95
DH
2985 Changes since 3.0.6rc1
2986
2987- supersede_lease() now requeues leases in their respective hardware
2988 address hash bucket. This mirrors client identifier behaviour.
2989
c1e6c832
DH
2990 Changes since 3.0.5
2991
f546c28b
DH
2992- Assorted fixes for broken network devices: Packet length is now
2993 determined from the IP header length field to finally calculate the
2994 UDP payload length, because some NIC drivers return more data than
5a22eb63 2995 they actually received.
f546c28b
DH
2996
2997- UDP packets are now stored in aligned data structures.
2998
c1e6c832
DH
2999- A logic error in omapi interface code was repaired that might result in
3000 incorrectly indicating 'up' state when any flags were set, rather than
23e10d37
DH
3001 specifically the INTERFACE_REQUESTED flag. Thanks to a patch from
3002 Jochen Voss which got to us via Andrew Pollock at Debian.
c1e6c832 3003
75ab3070
DH
3004- A reference leak on binding scopes set by ddns updates was repaired.
3005
d69fb6a8 3006- A memory leak in the minires_nsendsigned() function call was repaired.
23e10d37 3007 Effectively, this leaked ~176 bytes per DDNS update.
d69fb6a8 3008
02428754
DH
3009- In the case where an "L2" DHCP Relay Agent (one that does not set giaddr)
3010 was directly attached to the same broadcast domain as the DHCP server,
3011 the RFC3046 relay agent information option was not being returned to the
3012 relay in the server's replies. This was fixed; the dhcp server no longer
3013 requires the giaddr to reply with relay agent information. Note that
3014 this also improves compatibility with L2 devices that "intercept" DHCP
3015 packets and expect relay agent information even in unicast (renewal)
23e10d37
DH
3016 replies. Thanks to a patch from Pekka Silvonen.
3017
3018- A bug was fixed where the BOOTP header 'sname' field had a value, the
3019 copy written to persistent storage was actually the contents of the
3020 'file' field.
02428754 3021
ecde99a3
DH
3022- A bug was fixed where the nwip virtual option space was referencing
3023 the fqdn option's virtual option space's option cache.
3024
67674ffb
DH
3025- Timestamp parsing errors that indicated missing "minutes" fields rather
3026 than the actually missing "seconds" fields have been repaired thanks to
3027 a patch from Kevin Steves.
3028
830ebc4c
DH
3029- A grammar error in the dhclient.8 manpage was repaired thanks to a patch
3030 from Chris Wagner.
3031
c759db75
DH
3032- Several spelling typos were repaired, and some cross-references to other
3033 relevant documents were included in the manpages, thanks to a patch
3034 by Andrew Pollock which got to us via Tomas Pospisek.
3035
9aa3f3a5
DH
3036- Some bugs were fixed in the 'emergency relay agent options hologram'
3037 which is used to retain relay agent option contents from when the
3038 client was in INIT or REBIND states. This should solve problems where
3039 relay agent options were not echoed from the server, even when giaddr
3040 was set.
3041
3d0c598a
DH
3042- dhclient now closes its descriptor to dhclient.leases prior to executing
3043 dhclient-script. Thanks to a patch from Tomas Pospisek.
3044
d5b6835f
DH
3045- The server's "by client-id" and "by hardware address" hash table lists
3046 are now sorted according to the preference to re-allocate that lease to
3047 returning clients. This should eliminate pool starvation problems
3048 arising when "INIT" clients were given new leases rather than presently
3049 active ones.
3050
02428754 3051 Changes since 3.0.5rc1
0a73b7b6 3052
901306d5 3053- A bug was repaired in fixes to the dhclient, which sought to run the
0a73b7b6
SK
3054 dhclient-script with the 'EXPIRE' state should it receive a NAK in
3055 response to a REQUEST. The client now iterates the PREINIT state
3056 after the EXPIRE state, so that interfaces that might be configured
3057 'down' can be brought back 'up' and initialized.
3058
87a08ccc
DH
3059- DHCPINFORM handling for clients that properly set ciaddr and come to the
3060 server via a relay aget has been repaired.
3061
6da113fb
DH
3062 Changes since 3.0.4
3063
3064- A warning that host statements declared within subnet or shared-network
3065 scopes are actually global has been added.
3066
3067- The default minimum lease time (if min-lease-time was not specified)
3068 was raised from 0 to 300. 0 is not thought to be sensible, and is
3069 known to be damaging.
3070
3071- Added additional fatal error sanity checks surrounding lease binding
3072 state count calculations (free/active counts used for failover pool
3073 balancing).
3074
dcc557db
DH
3075- Some time value size fixes in 3.0.4 brought on from FreeBSD /usr/ports were
3076 misapplied to server values rather than client values. The server no longer
3077 advertises 8-byte lease-time options when on 64-bit platforms.
3078
1b2ab55f
DH
3079- A bug where leases not in ACTIVE state would get billed to billed classes
3080 (classes with lease limitations) was fixed. Non-active leases OFFERed
3081 to clients are no longer billed (but billing is checked before offering).
3082
e48891e8
DH
3083- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated in regard to the ddns-domainname
3084 configuration option - the default configuration and results should be
3085 more clear now.
3086
6cbc6629
DH
3087- If the dhclient were to receive a DHCPNAK while it was in the RENEW
3088 state (and consequently, had an active, 'bound' address and related
3089 configuration options), it would fail to 'tear down' this information
3090 before proceeding into INIT state. dhclient now iterates the dhclient-
3091 script with the 'EXPIRE' action to cause these teardowns prior to entering
1d3bfb17 3092 INIT state. Thanks to a patch from Chris Zimmerman.
6cbc6629 3093
c5fec5fa
DH
3094- The omapi.1 manpage had some formatting errors repaired thanks to a patch
3095 from Yoshihiko Sarumaru.
3096
33e1cb2b
DH
3097- A few lines of code that were failover-specific were moved within
3098 #if defined() clauses so that compilation without failover could be
3099 made possible.
3100
2bddf829
DH
3101- The log message emitted when the 'leased-address' value was not available
3102 in dhcpd.conf "executable statements" has been updated to be more helpful.
3103 Manpage information for this value has also been updated.
3104
87578987
DH
3105- Abandoned or dissociated (err condition) leases now remove any related
3106 dynamic dns bindings. Thanks to a patch from Patrick Schoo.
3107
e77c575f
DH
3108- Attempting to write a new lease file to replace a corrupt (due to
3109 encountering non-retryable errors during writing) lease file should
3110 no longer result in an infinite recursion.
3111
2178df03
DH
3112- Host declaration hardware addresses and client identifiers may only be
3113 configured once. dhcpd will now fail to load config files that specify
3114 multiple identifiers (previous versions would silently over-ride the
3115 value with the later configured value).
3116
d5341d9b
SK
3117- Several option codes that have been allocated since our last release
3118 have been named and documented.
3119
3120- Option names of the form "unknown-123" have been removed from the in-
3121 memory hash tables. In order to support options of these names that
3122 may appear in dhclient.leases or similar in previous versions, the
3123 parser will now find the new option code definition, or mock up a
3124 generic option code definition. This should result in a smooth
3125 transition from one name to the other, as the new name is used to
3126 write new output.
3127
6da113fb
DH
3128 Changes since 3.0.4rc1
3129
3130- The dhcp-options.5 manpage was updated to correct indentation errors
3131 thanks to a patch from Jean Delvare.
3132
3133 Changes since 3.0.4b3
3134
3135- Some manual pages were clarified pursuant to discussion on the dhcp-server
3136 mailing list.
3137
88cd8aca
DH
3138 Changes since 3.0.4b2
3139
45d545f0 3140- Null-termination sensing for certain clients that unfortunately require
88cd8aca
DH
3141 it in DHCPINFORM processing was repaired.
3142
3143- The host-name option and a few others were moved from "X" format to "t"
3144 format to be compatible with new NULL handling functions.
3145
3146- DHCPINFORM processing is a little more careful about return addressing
3147 its responses, or if responding via a relay. The INFORM related
3148 messages also log the 'effective client ip address' rather than the
3149 client's supplied ciaddr (since some clients produce null ciaddrs).
3150
3151- The server was inappropriately sending leases to the RESET state in the
3152 event that multiple active leases were found to match a singly-identified
3153 client. This was changed to RELEASED (by accepting a different, ACTIVE
3154 binding, the client is implicitly releasing its lease). This repairs a
3155 bug wherein secondary servers in failover pairs detecting this condition
3156 move leases to RESET, and primaries refuse to accept that state
3157 transition (properly).
3158
3159- The memset-after-dmalloc() changes made in 3.0.4b1 have been backed out.
3160
3161 Changes since 3.0.4b1
3162
3163- Command line parsing in omshell was repaired - it no longer closes
3164 STDIN after reading one line.
3165
3166- The resolver library no longer closes the /etc/resolv.conf file
3167 descriptor it opened twice.
3168
3169- Changes to trailing NULL removal in 't' option-atoms has been rethought,
3170 it now includes 'd' (domain name) types, and tries hard not to rewind an
3171 option beyond the start of the text field it is un-terminating.
3172
3173 Changes since 3.0.3
3174
3175- A DDNS update handling function was misusing the DNS error codes, rather
3176 than the internal generic result enumeration. The result is a confusing
3177 syslog line, logging the wrong condition.
3178
3179- The DHCP Server was not checking pool balance in the case where it brought
3180 a non-ACTIVE lease out of storage for a client that was returning to use
3181 a lease it once had long ago, and had since expired.
3182
3183- Failover peers no longer bother to look for free leases to allocate when
3184 they already found the client's ACTIVE lease. DISCOVERs are load balanced
98bd7ca0 3185 whether freely-allocated or not, unless the server doubts the peer has
88cd8aca
DH
3186 leases to allocate.
3187
3188- Fixed a bug in dhcrelay agent addition code that suppressed trailing
45d545f0 3189 PAD options - it was suppressing only one trailing PAD option, rather
88cd8aca
DH
3190 than the entire block of them.
3191
3a16098f
DH
3192! Fixed some unlikely overlapping-region memcpy() bugs in dhcrelay agent
3193 option addition and stripping code. Added a few sanity checks. Although
3194 highly improbable, due to requiring the reception of a DHCP datagram well
3195 in excess of all known to be used physical MTU limitations, it is possible
3196 this may have been used in a stack overflow security vulnerability. Thanks
3197 to a patch from infamous42md.
3198
3199! Added some sanity checks to OMAPI connection/authentication code.
3200 Although highly improbable, due to having to deliver in excess of 2^32
3201 bytes of data via the OMAPI channel, not to mention requiring dhcpd to
3202 be able to malloc() a memory region 2^32 bytes in size, it was possible
3203 this might have resulted in a heap overflow security vulnerability.
3204 Thanks to a patch from infamous42md.
88cd8aca
DH
3205
3206- dmalloc() memset()'s the non-debug (data) portion of the allocated
3207 memory to zero. Code that memset()'s the result returned by dmalloc() to
3208 zero is redundant. These redundancies were removed.
3209
3210- Some type declaration corrections to u_int16_t were made in common/tr.c
4b97eaff 3211 (Token Ring support) thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
88cd8aca
DH
3212
3213- A failover bug that was allowing leases that EXPIRED or were RELEASED
3214 where tsfp and tstp are identical timestamps to languish in these
3215 transitional states has been repaired. As a side effect, lease
3216 databases should be kept more consistent overall, not just for these
3217 transitional states.
3218
3219- If the lease db is deleted out from under the daemon, and it moves to rewrite
3220 the db, it will go ahead with the operation and move the new db into place
3221 once it detects the old db does not exist.
3222
3223- dhclient now ignores IRDA, SIT, and IEEE1394 network interfaces, as it
3224 is either nonsensical or (in the case of IEEE1394) is not known to support
3225 these interfaces. Thanks to Marius Gedminas and Andrew Pollock of Debian.
3226
3227- Some previously undocumented reasons for dhclient-script invoking has
45d545f0 3228 been documented in the dhclient-script.8 manpage.
88cd8aca
DH
3229
3230- Failover potential expiry calculations (TSTP) have been corrected. Results
3231 should be substantially more consistent, and proper given the constraints.
3232
3233- Adjusted lease state validation checks in potential-conflict, to
3234 account for possible clock skew similarly to normal state, and several
3235 previously illegal transitions were made legal (ex: active->released).
3236
3237- An impossible sanity check was removed from omapi/buffer.c, thanks to a
3238 patch from 'infamous42md'.
3239
3240- An OMAPI host/network byte order problem in lease time values has been
3241 repaired.
3242
3243- Several minor bugs, largely relating to treating 8-byte time values as
3244 4-byte entities, have been repaired after careful review of the FreeBSD
3245 ports collection's patch set. Thanks to the nameless entities who have
3246 contributed to the FreeBSD ports.
3247
3248- When writing a trace file, the file is now created with permissions 0600,
3249 to help administrators avoid accidentally publicising sensitive config
3250 data.
3251
3252- The calculation of the maximum size of DHCP packets no longer includes
3253 Ethernet framing overhead. The result is that the 'Maximum Message
3254 Size' option advertised by clients, or the default value 576, is no
3255 longer reduced by 14 bytes, and instead directly reflects the IP level
3256 MTU (and the default, minimum allowed IP MTU of 576).
3257
3258- The special status of RELEASED/EXPIRED/RESET leases when a server
3259 is operating in partner-down was fixed. It no longer requires a
3260 lease be twice the MCLT beyond STOS to 'reallocate', and the expiry
3261 event to turn these into FREE leases without peer acknowledgement
3262 (after STOS+MCLT) has been repaired.
3263
3264- Compilation on older Solaris systems (lacking /usr/include/sys/int_types.h)
3265 has been repaired.
3266
3267- "append"ing a string onto the end of a "t" type option (such as the
3268 domain-name field) that had been improperly NULL-terminated by the
3269 DHCP server will no longer result in a truncated string containing
3270 only the option from the server, and not the expected appended value.
4b97eaff 3271 Thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
88cd8aca
DH
3272
3273- File handlers on configuration state (config files and lease dbs) should
98bd7ca0 3274 be treated consistently, regardless of whether TRACING is defined or not.
88cd8aca 3275
45d545f0 3276- The Linux build environment has had some minor improvements - better
88cd8aca
DH
3277 sensing of 64-bit pointer sizes (only used for establishing an icmp_id),
3278 and corrections to #if operators regarding LINUX_MAJOR should it ever
3279 move to 3.[01].x.
3280
3281- The server now tries harder to survive the condition where it is unable
3282 to open a new lease file to rewrite the lease state database.
3283

DH
3284 Changes since 3.0.3b3
3285
3286- dhclient.conf documentation for interface {} was updated to reflect recent
3287 discussion on the dhcp-hackers mailing list.
3288
3289- In response to reports that the software does not compile on GCC 4.0.0,
3290 -Werror was removed from Makefile.conf for all platforms that used it.
3291 We will address the true problem in a future release; this is a temporary
3292 workaround.
3293
3294 Changes since 3.0.3b2
3295
3296- An error in code changes introduced in 3.0.3b2 was corrected, which caused
3297 static BOOTP clients to receive random addresses.
3298
3299 Changes since 3.0.3b1
3300
3301- A bug was fixed in BOOTPREQUEST handling code wherein stale references to
3302 host records would be left behind on leases that were not allocated to the
3303 client currently booting (eg in the case where the host was denied booting).
3304
3305- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated to be more clear in regards to
3306 multiple host declarations (thanks to Vincent McIntyre). 'Interim' style
3307 dynamic updates were also retouched.
3308
98311e4b
DH
3309 Changes since 3.0.2
3310
3311- A bug was fixed where a server might load balance a DHCP REQUEST to its
45d545f0 3312 peer after already choosing not to load balance the preceding DISCOVER.
98311e4b
DH
3313 The peer cannot allocate the originating server's lease.
3314
3315- In the case where a secondary server lost its stable storage while the
3316 primary was still in communications-interrupted, and came back online,
3317 the lease databases would not be fully transferred to the secondary.
3318 This was due to the secondary errantly sending an extra UPDREQ message
3319 when the primary made its state transition to PARTNER-DOWN known.
3320
3321- The package will now compile cleanly in gcc 3.3 and 3.4. As a side effect,
3322 lease structures will be 9 bytes smaller on all platforms. Thanks to
4b97eaff 3323 Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3324
3325- Interface discovery code in DISCOVER_UNCONFIGURED mode is now
3326 properly restricted to only detecting broadcast interfaces. Thanks
4b97eaff 3327 to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3328
3329- decode_udp_ip_header was changed so that the IP address was copied out
3330 to a variable, rather than referenced by a pointer. This enforces 4-byte
3331 alignment of the 32-bit IP address value. Thanks to a patch from Dr.
3332 Peter Poeml.
3333
3334- An incorrect log message was corrected thanks to a patch from
3335 Dr. Peter Poeml.
3336
3337- A bug in DDNS was repaired, where if the server's first DDNS action was
3338 a DDNS removal rather than a DDNS update, the resolver library's
3339 retransmit timer and retry timer was set to the default, implying a
3340 15 second timeout interval. Which is a little excessive in a synchronous,
3341 single-threaded system. In all cases, ISC DHCP should now hold fast to
3342 a 1-second timeout, trying only once.
3343
3344- The siaddr field was being improperly set to the server-identifier when
3345 responding to DHCP messages. RFC2131 clarified the siaddr field as
3346 meaning the 'next server in the bootstrap process', eg a tftp server.
3347 The siaddr field is now left zeroed unless next-server is configured.
3348
3349- mockup_lease() could have returned in an error condition (or in the
3350 condition where no fixed-address was found matching the shared
3351 network) with stale references to a host record. This is probably not
3352 a memory leak since host records generally never die anyway.
3353
3354- A bug was repaired where failover servers would let stale client identifiers
3355 persist on leases that were reallocated to new clients not sending an id.
3356
3357- Binding scopes ("set var = value;") are now removed from leases allocated
3358 by failover peers if the lease had expired. This should help reduce the
3359 number of stale binding scopes on leases.
3360
3361- A small memory leak was closed involving client identifiers larger than
3362 7 bytes, and failover.
3363
3364- Configuring a subnet in dhcpd.conf with a subnet mask of 32 bits might
3365 cause an internal function to overflow heap. Thanks to Jason Vas Dias
4b97eaff 3366 at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3367
3368- Some inconsistencies in treating numbers that the lexer parsed as 'NUMBER'
3369 or 'NUMBER_OR_NAME' was repaired. Hexadecimal parsing is affected, and
3370 should work better.
3371
3372- In several cases, parse warnings were being issued before the lexical
3373 token had been advanced to the token whose value was causing an error...
3374 causing parse warnings to claim the problem is on the wrong token.
3375
3376- Host declarations matching on client identifier for dynamic leases will
3377 no longer match fixed-address host declarations (this is now identical
3378 to behaviour for host records matching on hardware address).
3379
3380 Changes since 3.0.2rc3
3381
3382- A previously undocumented configuration directive, 'local-address',
3383 was documented in the dhcpd.conf manpage.
3384
3385 Changes since 3.0.2rc2
3386
45d545f0 3387- Two variables introduced in 3.0.2b1 were used without being initialized
98311e4b
DH
3388 in the case where neither the FILE nor SNAME fields were available for
3389 overloading. This was repaired.
3390
3391- A heretofore believed to be impossible corner case of the option
3392 overloading implementation turned out to be possible ("Unable to sort
3393 overloaded options after 10 tries."). The implementation was reworked
3394 to consider the case of an option so large it would require more than
3395 three chunks to fit.
3396
3397- Many other instances of variables being used without being initialized
3398 were repaired.
3399
3400- An uninitialized variable in omapi_io_destroy() led to the discovery
3401 that this function may result in orphaned pointers (and hence, a memory
3402 leak).
3403
3404 Changes since 3.0.2rc1
3405
3406- allocate_lease() was rewritten to repair a bug in which the server would
3407 try to allocate an ABANDONED lease when FREE leases were available.
3408
3409 Changes since 3.0.2b1
3410
3411- Some dhcp-eval.5 manpage formatting was repaired.
3412
3413 Changes since 3.0.1
3414
3415- A bug was fixed in the server's 'option overloading' implementation,
3416 where options loaded into the 'file' and 'sname' packet fields were
3417 not aligned precisely as rfc2131 dictates.
3418
3419- The FreeBSD client script was changed to support the case where a domain
3420 name was not provided by the server.
3421
3422- A memory leak in 'omshell' per each command line parsed was
3423 repaired, thanks to a patch from Jarkko Torppa.
3424
3425- Log functions writing to stderr were adjusted to use the STDERR_FILENO
3426 system definition rather than '2'. This is a no-op for 90% of platforms.
3427
3428- One call to trace_write_packet_iov() counted the number of io vectors
3429 incorrectly, causing inconsistent tracefiles. This was fixed.
3430
3431- Some expression parse failure memory leaks were closed.
3432
3433- A host byte order problem in tracefiles was repaired.
3434
3435- Pools configured in DHCPD for failover possessing permission lists that
adb95d23 3436 previously were assumed to not include dynamic bootp clients are now
98311e4b
DH
3437 a little more pessimistic. The result is, dhcpd will nag you about just
3438 about most pools that possess a 'allow' statement with no 'deny' that
3439 would definitely match a dynamic bootp client.
3440
3441- The 'ddns-update-style' configuration warning bit now insists that
3442 the configuration be globally scoped.
3443
3444- Two memory leaks in dhclient were closed thanks to a patch from Felix
3445 Farkas.
3446
3447- Some minor but excellently pedantic documentation errors were fixed
3448 thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
3449
3450- Bugs in operator precedence in executable statements have been repaired
3451 once again. More legal syntaxes should be parsed legally.
3452
3453- Failing to initialize a tracefile for any reason if a tracefile was
3454 specified is now a fatal error. Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
3455
3456- Corrected a bug in which the number of leases transferred as calculated
3457 by the failover primary and sent to peers in POOLRESP responses may be
3458 incorrect. This value is not believed to be used by other failover
3459 implementations, excepting perhaps as logged information.
3460
3461- Corrected a bug in which 'dhcp_failover_send_poolresp()' was in fact
3462 sending POOLREQ messages instead of POOLRESP mesasges. This message
3463 was essentially ignored since failover secondaries effectively do not
3464 respond to POOLREQ messages.
3465
3466- Type definitions for various bitwidths of integers in the sunos5-5
3467 build of ISC DHCP have been fixed. It should compile and run more
3468 easily when built in 64-bit for this platform.
3469
3470- "allow known-clients;" is now a legal syntax, to avoid confusion.
3471
3472- If one dhcp server chooses to 'load balance' a request to its failover
3473 peer, it first checks to see if it believes said peer has a free
3474 lease to allocate before ignoring the DISCOVER.
3475
3476- log() was logging a work buffer, rather than the value returned by
3477 executing the statements configured by the user. In some cases,
3478 the work buffer and the intended results were the same. In some other
3479 cases, they were not. This was fixed thanks to a patch from Gunnar
3480 Fjone and directconnect.no.
3481
3482- Compiler warnings for some string type conversions was fixed, thanks
3483 to Andreas Gustafsson.
3484
3485- The netbsd build environments were simplified to one, in which
3486 -Wconversion is not used, thanks to Andreas Gustafsson.
3487
3488- How randomness in the backoff-cutoff dhclient configuration variable
3489 is implemented was better documented in the manpage, and the behaviour
3490 of dhclient in REQUEST timeout handling was changed to match that of
3491 DISCOVER timeout handling.
3492
3493- Omapi was hardened against clients that pass in null values, thanks
3494 to a patch from Mark Jason Dominus.
3495
3496- A bug was fixed in dhclient that kept it from doing client-side
3497 ddns updates. Thanks to a patch from Andreas Gustafsson, which
3498 underwent some modification after review by Jason Vas Dias.
3499
3500- Failover implementations disconnected due to the network between
3501 them (rather than one of the two shutting down) will now try to
3502 re-establish the failover connection every 5 seconds, rather than
3503 to simply try once and give up until one of them is restarted.
3504 Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from Infoblox, and field testing
3505 by Greger V. Teigre which led to an enhancement to it.
3506
3507- A problem that kept DHCP Failover secondaries from tearing down
3508 ddns records was repaired. Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from
3509 Infoblox.
3510
3511- 64bit pointer sizes are detected properly on FreeBSD now.
3512
3513- A bug was repaired where the DHCP server would leave stale references
3514 to host records on leases it once thought about offering to certain
3515 clients. The result would be to apply host and 'known' scopes to the
3516 wrong clients (possibly denying booting). NOTE: The 'mis-host' patch
3517 that was being circulated as a workaround is not the way this bug was
3518 fixed. If you were a victim of this bug in 3.0.1, you are cautioned
3519 to proceed carefully and see if it fixes your problem.
3520
3521- A bug was repaired in the server's DHCPINFORM handling, where it
3522 tried to divine the client's address from the source packet and
3523 would get it wrong. Thanks to Anshuman Singh Rawat.
3524
3525- A log message was introduced to help illuminate the case where the
3526 server was unable to find a lease to assign to any BOOTP client.
3527 Thanks to Daniel Baker.
3528
3529- A minor dhcpd.conf.5 manpage error was fixed.
3530
3531 Changes since 3.0.1rc14
3532
3533- The global variable 'cur_time' was centralized and is now uniformly of a
3534 type #defined in system-dependent headers. It had previously been defined
3535 in one of many places as a 32-bit value, and this causes mayhem on 64-bit
3536 big endian systems. It probably wasn't too healthy on little endian
3537 systems either.
3538
3539- A printf format string error introduced in rc14 was repaired.
3540
3541- AIX system-dependent header file was altered to only define NO_SNPRINTF
3542 if the condition used to #ifdef in vsnprintf in AIX' header files
3543 is false.
3544
3545- The Alpha/OSF system-dependent header file was altered to define
3546 NO_SNPRINTF on OS revisions older than 4.0G.
3547
3548- omapip/test.c had string.h added to its includes.
3549
3550 Changes since 3.0.1rc13
3551
3552! CAN-2004-0460 - CERT VU#317350: Five stack overflow exploits were closed
3553 in logging messages with excessively long hostnames provided by the
3554 clients. It is highly probable that these could have been used by
3555 attackers to gain arbitrary root access on systems using ISC DHCP 3.0.1
3556 release candidates 12 or 13. Special thanks to Gregory Duchemin for
3557 both finding and solving the problem.
3558
3559! CAN-2004-0461 - CERT VU#654390: Once the above was closed, an opening
45d545f0 3560 in log_*() functions was evidenced, on some specific platforms where
98311e4b
DH
3561 vsnprintf() was not believed to be available and calls were wrapped to
3562 sprintf() instead. Again, credit goes to Gregory Duchemin for finding
3563 the problem. Calls to snprintf() are now linked to a distribution-local
3564 snprintf implementation, only in those cases where the architecture is
3565 not known to provide one (see includes/cf/[arch].h). If you experience
3566 linking problems with snprintf/vsnprintf or 'isc_print_' functions, this
3567 is where to look. This vulnerability did not exist in any previously
3568 published version of ISC DHCP.
3569
3570- Compilation on hpux 11.11 was repaired.
3571
3572- 'The cross-compile bug fix' was backed out.
3573
3574 Changes since 3.0.1rc12
3575
3576- Fixed a bug in omapi lease lookup function, to form the hardware
3577 address for the hash lookup correctly, thanks to a patch from
3578 Richard Hirst.
3579
3580- Fixed a bug where dhcrelay was sending relayed responses back to the
3581 broadcast address, but with the source's unicast mac address. Should
3582 now conform to rfc2131 section 4.1.
3583
3584- Cross-compile bug fix; use $(AR) instead of ar. Thanks to Morten Brorup.
3585
3586- Fixed a crash bug in dhclient where dhcpd servers that do not provide
3587 renewal times results in an FPE. As a side effect, dhclient can now
3588 properly handle 0xFFFFFFFF (-1) expiry times supplied by servers. Thanks
3589 to a patch from Burt Silverman.
3590
3591- The 'ping timeout' debugs from rc12 were removed to -DDEBUG only,
45d545f0 3592 and reformatted to correct a compilation error on Solaris platforms.
98311e4b
DH
3593
3594- A patch was applied which fixes a case where leases read from the
3595 leases database do not properly over-ride previously read leases.
3596
3597- dhcpctl.3 manpage was tweaked.
3598
3599 Changes since 3.0.1rc11
3600
3601- A patch from Steve Campbell was applied with minor modifications to
3602 permit reverse dns PTR record updates with values containing spaces.
3603
3604- A patch from Florian Lohoff was applied with some modifications to
3605 dhcrelay. It now discards packets whose hop count exceeds 10 by default,
3606 and a command-line option (-c) can be used to set this threshold.
3607
3608- A failover bug relating to identifying peers by name length instead of
3609 by name was fixed.
3610
45d545f0 3611- Declaring failover configs within shared-network statements should no
98311e4b
DH
3612 longer result in error.
3613
3614- The -nw command line option to dhclient now works.
3615
3616- Thanks to a patch from Michael Richardson:
3617 - Some problems with long option processing have been fixed.
3618 - Some fixes to minires so that updates of KEY records will work.
3619
3620- contrib/ms2isc was updated by Shu-Min Chang of the Intel Corporation.
3621 see contrib/ms2isc/readme.txt for revision notes.
3622
3623- Dhclient no longer uses shell commands to kill another instance of
3624 itself, it sends the signal directly. Thanks to a patch from Martin
3625 Blapp.
3626
3627- The FreeBSD dhclient-script was changed so that a failure to write to
3628 /etc/resolv.conf does not prematurely end the script. This keeps dhclient
3629 from looping infinitely when this is the case. Thanks to a patch from
3630 Martin Blapp.
3631
3632- A patch from Bill Stephens was applied which resolves a problem with lease
3633 expiry times in failover configurations.
3634
3635- A memory leak in configuration parsing was closed thanks to a patch from
3636 Steve G.
3637
3638- The function which discovers interfaces will now skip non-broadcast or
3639 point-to-point interfaces, thanks to a patch from David Brownlee.
3640
3641- Options not yet known by the dhcpd or dhclient have had their names
3642 changed such that they do not contain # symbols, in case they should ever
3643 appear in a lease file. An option that might have been named "#144" is
3644 now "unknown-144".
3645
3646- Another patch from Bill Stephens which allows the ping-check timeout to
3647 be configured as 'ping-timeout'. Defaults to 1.
3648
3649 Changes since 3.0.1rc10
3650
3651- Potential buffer overflows in minires repaired.
3652
3653- A change to the linux client script to use /bin/bash, since /bin/sh may
3654 not be bash.
3655
3656- Some missing va_end cleanups thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
3657
3658- A correction of boolean parsing syntax validation - some illegal syntaxes
3659 that worked before are now detected and produce errs, some legal syntaxes
3660 that errored before will now work properly.
3661
3662- Some search-and-replace errors that caused some options to change their
3663 names was repaired.
3664
3665- Shu-min Chang of the Intel corporation has contributed a perl script and
3666 module that converts the MS NT4 DHCP configuration to a ISC DHCP3
3667 configuration file.
3668
3669- Applied the remainder of the dhcpctl memory leak patch provided by Bill
3670 Squier at ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
3671
3672- Missing non-optional failover peer configurations will now result in a soft
3673 error rather than a null dereference.
3674
3675 Changes since 3.0.1rc9
3676
3677- A format string was corrected to fix compiler warnings.
3678
3679- A number of spelling corrections were made in the man pages.
3680
3681- The dhclient.conf.5 man page was changed to refer to do-forward-updates
3682 rather than a configuration option that doesn't exist.
3683
3684- A FreeBSD-specific bug in the interface removal handling was fixed.
3685
3686- A Linux-specific Token Ring detection problem was fixed.
3687
3688- Hashes removed from as-yet-unknown agent options, having those options
3689 appear in reality before we know about them will no longer produce
3690 self-corrupting lease databases.
3691
3692- dhclient will use the proper port numbers now when using the -g option.
3693
3694- A order-of-operations bug with 2 match clauses in 1 class statement is
3695 fixed thanks to a patch from Andrew Matheson.
3696
3697- Compilation problems on Solaris were fixed.
3698
3699- Compilation problems when built with DEBUG or DEBUG_PACKET were repaired.
3700
3701- A fix to the dhcp ack process which makes certain group options will be
3702 included in the first DHCPOFFER message was made thanks to a patch from
3703 Ling Gou.
3704
3705- A few memory leaks were repaired thanks to patches from Bill Squier at
3706 ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
3707
3708- A fix for shared-networks that sometimes give clients options for the
3709 wrong subnets (in particular, 'option routers') was applied, thanks to
3710 Ted Lemon for the patch.
3711
3712- Omshell's handling of dotted octets as values was changed such that dots
3713 one after the other produce zero values in the integer string.
3714
3715 Changes since 3.0.1rc8
3716
3717- Fix a format string vulnerability in the server that could lead to a
3718 remote root compromise (discovered by NGSEC Research Team, www.ngsec.com).
3719
3720- Add additional support for NetBSD/sparc64.
3721
3722- Fix a bug in the command-line parsing of the client. Also, resolve
3723 a memory leak.
3724
3725- Add better support for shells other than bash in the Linux client
3726 script.
3727
3728- Various build fixes for modern versions of FreeBSD and Linux.
3729
3730- Fix a bad bounds check when printing binding state names.
3731
3732- Clarify documentation about fixed-address and multiple addresses.
3733
3734- Fix a typo in the authoritative error message.
3735
3736- Make a log entry when we can't write a billing class.
3737
3738- Use conversion targets that are the right size on all architectures.
3739
3740- Increment the hop count when relaying.
3741
3742- Log a message when lease state is changed through OMAPI.
3743
3744- Don't rerun the shared_network when evaluating the pool.
3745
3746- Fix a reversed test in the parser.
3747
3748- Change the type of rbuf_max.
3749
3750- Make FTS_LAST a manifest constant to quiet warnings.
3751
3752 Changes since 3.0.1rc7
3753
3754- Fix two compiler warnings that are generated when compiling on Solaris
3755 with gcc. These stop the build, even though they weren't actually
3756 errors, because we prefer that our builds generate no warnings.
3757
3758 Changes since 3.0.1rc6
3759
3760- Don't allow a lease that's in the EXPIRED, RELEASED or RESET state
3761 to be renewed.
3762
3763- Implement lease stealing for cases where the primary has fewer leases
3764 than the secondary, as called for by the standard.
3765
3766- Add a fudge factor to the lease expiry acceptance code, (suggested
3767 by Kevin Miller of CMU).
3768
3769- Fix a bug in permit_list_match that made it much too willing to say
3770 that two permit lists matched.
3771
3772- Unless DEBUG_DNS_UPDATES is defined, print more user-friendly (and
3773 also more compact) messages about DNS updates.
3774
3775- Fix a bug in generating wire-format domain names for the FQDN option.
3776
3777- Fix a bug where the FQDN option would not be returned if the client
3778 requested it, contrary to the standard.
3779
3780- On Darwin, use the FreeBSD DHCP client script.
3781
3782- On NetBSD/sparc, don't check for casting warnings.
3783
3784- Add a flag in the DHCP client to disable updating the client's A
3785 record when sending an FQDN option indicating that the client is
3786 going to update its A record.
3787
3788- In the client, don't attempt a DNS update until one second after
3789 configuring the new IP address, and if the update times out, keep
3790 trying until a response, positive or negative, is received from the
3791 DNS server.
3792
3793- Fix an uninitialized memory bug in the DHCP client.
3794
3795- Apply some FreeBSD-specific bug fixes suggested by Murray Stokely.
3796
3797- Fix a bug in ns_parserr(), where it was returning the wrong sort
3798 of result code in some cases (suggested by Ben Harris of the
3799 NetBSD project).
3800
3801- Fix a bug in is_identifier(), where it was checking against EOF
3802 instead of the END_OF_FILE token (also suggested by Ben Harris).
3803
3804- Fix a bug where if an option universe contained no options, the
3805 DHCP server could dump core (Walter Steiner).
3806
3807- Fix a bug in the handling of encapsulated options.
3808
3809- Fix a bug that prevented NWIP suboptions from being processed.
3810
3811- Delete the FTS_BOOTP and FTS_RESERVED states and implement them
3812 as modifier flags to the FTS_ACTIVE state, as called for in the
3813 failover protocol standard.
3814
3815- Fix bugs in the pool merging code that resulted in references and
3816 dereferences of null pointers. This bug had no impact unless the
3817 POINTER_DEBUG flag was defined.
3818
3819- In the server, added a do-forward-updates flag that can be used to
3820 disable forward updates in all cases, so that sites that want the
3821 clients to take sole responsibility for updating their A record can
3822 do so.
3823
3824- Make it possible to disable optimization of PTR record updates.
3825
3826 Changes since 3.0.1rc5
3827
3828- Include some new documentation and changes provided by Karl Auer.
3829
3830- Add a workaround for some Lexmark printers that send a double-NUL-
3831 terminated host-name option, which would break DNS updates.
3832
3833- Fix an off-by-one error in the MAC-address checking code for
3834 DHCPRELEASE that was added in 3.0.1rc5.
3835
3836- Fix a bug where client-specific information was not being discarded
3837 from the lease when it expired or was released, resulting in
3838 problems if the lease was reallocated to a different client.
3839
3840- If more than one allocation pool is specified that has the same set
3841 of constraints as another allocation pool on the same shared
3842 network, merge the two pools.
3843
3844- Don't print an error in fallback_discard, since this just causes
3845 confusion and does not appear to be helping to encourage anyone to
3846 fix this bug.
3847
3848 Changes since 3.0.1rc4
3849
3850- Fix a bug that would cause the DHCP server to spin if asked to parse
3851 a certain kind of incorrect statement.
3852
3853- Fix a related bug that would prevent an error from being reported in
3854 the same case.
3855
3856- Additional documentation.
3857
3858- Make sure that the hardware address matches the lease when
3859 processing a DHCPRELEASE message.
3860
3861 Changes since 3.0.1rc3
3862
3863- A minor bug fix in the arguments to a logging function call.
3864- Documentation update for dhcpd.conf.
3865
adbef119 3866 Changes since 3.0.1rc2
98311e4b
DH
3867
3868- Allow the primary to send a POOLREQ message. This isn't what the current
3869 failover draft says to do, so we may have to back it out if I can't get the
3870 authors to relent, but the scheme for balancing that's specified in the
3871 current draft seems needlessly hairy, so I'm floating a trial balloon.
3872 The rc1 code did not implement the method described in the draft either.
3873
adbef119 3874 Changes since 3.0.1rc1
98311e4b
DH
3875
3876- Treat NXDOMAIN and NXRRSET as success when we are trying to delete a
3877 domain or RRSET. This allows the DHCP server to forget about a name
3878 it added to the DNS once it's been removed, even if the DHCP server
3879 wasn't the one that removed it.
3880
3881- Install defaults for failover maximum outstanding updates and maximum
3882 silent time. This prevents problems that might occur if these values
3883 were not configured.
3884
3885- Don't do DDNS deletes if ddns-update-style is none.
3886
3887- Return relay agent information options in DHCPNAK. This prevents DHCPNAK
3888 messages from being dropped when the relay agent information option contains
3889 routing information.
3890
3891- Fix a problem where coming up in recover wouldn't result in an update
3892 request being sent.
3893
3894- Add some more chatty messages when we start a recovery update and when it's
3895 done.
3896
3897- Fix a possible problem where some state might have been left around
3898 after the peer lost contact and regained contact about how many updates
3899 were pending.
3900
3901- Don't nix a lease update because of a lease conflict. This test has
3902 never (as far as I know) prevented a mistake, and it appears to cause
3903 problems with failover.
3904
3905- Add support in rc history code for keeping a selective history, rather
3906 than a history of all references and dereferences. This code is only used
3907 when extensive additional debugging is enabled.
3908
adbef119 3909 Changes since 3.0
98311e4b
DH
3910
3911- Make allocators for hash tables. As a side effect, this fixes a memory
3912 smash in the subclass allocation code.
3913
3914- Fix a small bug in omshell where if you try to close an object when
3915 no object is open, it dumps core.
3916
3917- Fix an obscure coredump that could occur on shutdown.
3918
3919- Fix a bug in the recording of host declaration rubouts in the lease file.
3920
3921- Fix two potential spins in the host deletion code.
3922
3923- Fix a core dump that would happen if an application tried to update
3924 a host object attribute with a null value.
3925
3926 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 12
3927
3928- Fix a memory leak in the evaluation code.
3929
3930- Fix an obscure core dump.
3931
3932- Print a couple of new warnings when parsing the configuration file
3933 when crucial information is left out.
3934
3935- Log "no free leases" as an error.
3936
3937- Documentation updates.
3938
3939 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 11
3940
3941- Always return a subnet selection option if one is sent.
3942
3943- Fix a warning that was being printed because an automatic data
3944 structure wasn't zeroed.
3945
3946- Fix some failover state transitions that were being handled
3947 incorrectly.
3948
3949- When supersede_lease is called on a lease whose end time has already
3950 expired, but for which a state transition has not yet been done, do
3951 a state transition. This fixes the case where if the secondary
3952 allocated a lease to a client and the lease "expired" while the
3953 secondary was in partner-down, no expiry event would actually
3954 happen, so the lease would remain active until the primary was
3955 restarted.
3956
3957 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 10
3958
3959- Fix a bug that was preventing released leases from changing state
3960 in failover-enabled pools.
3961
3962- Fix a core dump in the client identifier finder code (for host
3963 declarations).
3964
3965- Finish fixing a bug where bogus data would sometimes get logged to
3966 the dhclient.leases file because it was opened as descriptor 2.
3967
3968- Fix the Linux dhclient-script according to suggestions made by
3969 several people on the dhcp-client mailing list.
3970
3971- Log successful DNS updates at LOG_INFO, not LOG_ERROR.
3972
3973- Print an error message and refuse to run if a failover peer is
3974 defined but not referenced by any pools.
3975
3976- Correct a confusing error message in failover.
3977
eaf0b302
TL
3978 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 9

3982 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8 Patchlevel 2
3983
3984- Fix a bug that prevented update-static-leases from working.
3985
3986- Document failover-state OMAPI object.
3987
3988- Fix a compilation error on SunOS 4.

d758ad8c
TL
3990 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8 Patchlevel 1
3991
3992- Fix a parsing bug that broke dns updates (both interim and ad-hoc).
3993 This was introduced in rc8pl1 as an unintended result of the memory
3994 leakage fixes that were in pl1.
3995
3996- Fix a long-standing bug where the server would record that an update
3997 had been done for a client with no name, even though no update had
3998 been done, and then when the client's lease expired the deletion of
3999 that nonexistant record would time out because the name was the null
9a111ee8 4000 string.
d758ad8c
TL
4001
4002- Clean up the omshell, dhcpctl and omapi man pages a bit.
4003
d758ad8c
TL
4004 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8
4005
4006- Fix a bug that could cause the DHCP server to spin if
4007 one-lease-per-client was enabled.
4008
4009- Fix a bug that was causing core dumps on BSD/os in the presence of
4010 malformed packets.
4011
4012- In partner-down state, don't restrict lease lengths to MCLT.
4013
4014- On the failover secondary, record the MCLT received from the primary
4015 so that if we come up without a connection to the primary we don't
4016 wind up giving out zero-length leases.
4017
4018- Fix some compilation problems on BSD/os.
4019
4020- Fix a bunch of memory leaks.
4021
4022- Fix a couple of bugs in the option printer.
4023
4024- Fix an obscure error reporting bug in the dns update code, and also
4025 make the message clearer when a key algorithm isn't supported.
4026
4027- Fix a bug in the tracing code that prevented trace runs that used
4028 tcp connections from being played back.
4029
4030- Add some additional debugging capability for catching memory leaks
4031 on exit.
4032
4033- Make the client release the lease correctly on shutdown.
4034
4035- Add some configurability to the build system.
4036
4037- Install omshell manual page in man1, not man8.
4038
4039- Craig Gwydir sent in a patch that fixes a long-standing bug in the
4040 DHCP client that could cause core dumps, but that for some reason
4041 hadn't been noticed until now.
4042
4043 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 7
4044
4045- Fix a bug in failover where we weren't sending updates after a
4046 transition from communications-interrupted to normal.
4047
4048- Handle expired/released/reset -> free transition according to the
4049 protocol specification (this works - the other way not only wasn't
4050 conformant, but also didn't work).
4051
4052- Add a control object in both client and server that allows either
4053 daemon to be shut down cleanly.
4054
4055- When writing a lease, if we run out of disk space, shut down the
4056 output file and insist on writing a new one before proceeding.
4057
4058- In the server, if the OMAPI listener port is occupied, keep trying
4059 to get it, rather than simply giving up and exiting.
4060
4061- Support fetching variables from leases and also updating and adding
4062 variables to leases via OMAPI.
4063
4064- If two failover peers have wildly different clocks, refuse to start
4065 doing failover.
4066
4067- Fix a bug in the DNS update code that could cause core dumps when
4068 running on alpha processors.
4069
4070- Fixed a bug in ddns updates for static lease entries, thanks to a
4071 patch from Andrey M Linkevitch.
4072
4073- Add support for Darwin/MacOS X
4074
4075- Install omshell (including new documentation).
4076
4077- Support DNS updates in the client (this is a very obscure feature
4078 that most DHCP client users probably will not be able to use).
4079
4080- Somewhat cleaner status logging in the client.
4081
4082- Make OMAPI key naming syntax compatible with the way keys are
4083 actually named (key names are domain names).
4084
4085- Fix a bug in the lease file writer.
4086
4087- Install DHCP ISC headers in a different place than BIND 9 ISC
4088 headers, to avoid causing trouble in BIND 9 builds.
4089
4090- Don't send updates for attributes on an object when the attributes
4091 haven't changed. Support deleting attributes on remote objects.
4092
4093- Fix a number of bugs in omshell, and add the unset and refresh
4094 statements.
4095
4096- Handle disconnects in OMAPI a little bit more intelligently (so that
4097 the caller gets ECONNRESET instead of EINVAL).
4098
4099- Fix a bunch of bugs in the handling of clients that have existing
4100 leases when the try to renew their leases while failover is
4101 operating.
4102
eaf0b302
TL
4103 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 6
4104
4105- Fix a core dump that could happen when processing a DHCPREQUEST from
4106 a client that had a host declaration that contained both a
4107 fixed-address declaration and a dhcp-client-identifier option
4108 declaration, if the client identifier was longer than nine bytes.
4109
4110- Fix a memory leak that could happen in certain obscure cases when
4111 using omapi to manipulate leases.
4112
4113- Fix some bugs and omissions in omshell.
4114
eaf0b302
TL
4115 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 5
4116
4117- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that prevented objects in
4118 chains from having their reference counts decreased on dereference.
4119
4120- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that would prevent object
4121 chains from being freed upon removal of the last reference external
4122 to the chain.
4123
4124- Fix a number of other memory leaks in the OMAPI protocol subsystem.
4125
4126- Add code in the OMAPI protocol handler to trace memory leakage.
4127
4128- Clean up the memory allocation/reference history printer.
4129
98311e4b 4130- Support input of dotted quads and colon-separated hex lists as
eaf0b302

4135- Conditionalize a piece of trace code that wasn't conditional.
4136
4137 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 4
4138
4139- Fix a bug that would prevent leases from being abandoned properly on
4140 DHCPDECLINE.
4141
4142- Fix failover peer OMAPI support.
4143
4144- In failover, correctly handle expiration of leases. Previously,
4145 leases would never be reclaimed because they couldn't make the
4146 transition from EXPIRED to FREE.
4147
4148- Fix some broken failover state transitions.
4149
4150- Documentation fixes.
4151
4152- Take out an unnecessary check in DHCP relay agent information option
4153 stashing code that was preventing REBINDING clients from rebinding.
4154
4155- Prevent failover peers from allocating leases in DHCPREQUEST
4156 processing if the lease belongs to the other server.
4157
4158- Record server version in lease file introductory comment.
4159
4160- Correctly report connection errors in OMAPI and failover.
4161
4162- Make authentication signature algorithm name comparisons in OMAPI
4163 case-insensitive.
4164
4165- Fix compile problem on SunOS 4.x
4166
98311e4b 4167- If a signature algorithm is not terminated with '.', terminate it so
eaf0b302
TL
4168 that comparisons between fully-qualified names will work
4169 consistently.
4170
4171- Different SIOCGIFCONF probe code, may "fix" problem on some Linux
4172 systems with the probe not working correctly.
4173
4174- Don't allow user to type omapi key on command line of omshell.

TL
4176 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 3
4177
4178- Do lease billing on startup in a way that I *think* will finally do
4179 the billing correctly - the previous method could overbill as a
4180 result of duplicate leases.
4181
4182- Document OMAPI server objects.

TL
4184 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 2 Patchlevel 1
4185
4186- Fix some problems in the DDNS update code. Thanks to Albert
4187 Herranz for figuring out the main problem.
4188
4189- Fix some reference counting errors on host entries that were causing
4190 core dumps.
4191
4192- Fix a byte-swap bug in the token ring code, thanks to Jochen
4193 Friedrich.
4194
4195- Fix a bug in lease billing, thanks to Jonas Bulow.
4196
4197 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 2
4198
4199- Change the conditions under which a DHCPRELEASE is actually
4200 committed to be consistent with lease binding states rather than
98311e4b 4201 using the lease end time. This may fix some problems with the
892fe689
TL
4202 billing class code.
4203
4204- Fix a bug where lease updates would fail on Digital Unix (and maybe

4212- Fix the dhcp_failover_put_message to not attempt to allocate a
4213 zero-length buffer. Some versions of malloc() fail if you try to
4214 allocate a zero-length buffer, and this was causing problems on,
4215 e.g., Digital Unix.
4216
4217- Fix a case where the failover code was printing an error message
4218 when no error had occurred.
4219
4220- Fix a problem where when a server went down and back up again, the
4221 peer would not see a state transition and so would stay in the
4222 non-communicating state.
4223
4224- Be smart about going into recover_wait.
4225
4226- Fix a problem in the failover implementation where peers would fail
4227 to come into sync if interrupted in the RECOVER state. This could
4228 have been the cause of some problems people have reported recently.
4229
4230- Fix a problem with billing classes where they would not be unbilled
4231 when the client lease expired.
4232
4233- If select fails, figure out which descriptor is bad, and cut it out
4234 of the I/O loop. This prevents a potentially nasty spin. I
4235 haven't heard any report it in a while, but it came up consistently
4236 in testing.
4237
4238- Fix a bug in the relay agent where if you specified interfaces on
4239 the command line, it would fail.
4240
4241- Fix a couple of small bugs in the omapi connection object (no known
4242 user impact).
4243
4244- Add the missing 3.0 Beta 1 lease conversion script.
4245
4246- Read dhcp client script hooks if they exist, rather than only if
4247 they're executable.

4259- There is a known problem with the DHCP server doing failover on
4260 Compaq Alpha systems. This patchlevel is not a release candidate
4261 because of this bug. The bug should be straightforward to fix, so
4262 a new release candidate is expected shortly.

4270 work, so that failover should now much less fragile.

4288- Fix a bug in the DNS update code where a status code was not being
4289 checked. This may have been causing core dumps.
4290
4291- When parsing the lease file, if a lease declaration includes a
4292 billing class statement, and the lease already has a billing class,
4293 unbill the old class.
4294
4295- When processing failover transactions, where acks will be deferred,
4296 process the state transition immediately.
4297
4298- Don't try to use the new SIOCGIFCONF buffer size detection code on
4299 Linux 2.0, which doesn't provide this functionality.
4300
4301- Apply a patch suggested by Tuan Uong for a problem in dlpi.c.
4302
4303- Fix a problem in using the which command in the configure script.
4304
4305- Fix a parse error in the client when setting up an omapi listener.
4306
4307- Document the -n and -g flags to the client.
4308
4309- Make sure there is always a stdin and stdout on startup. This
4310 prevents shell scripts from accidentally writing error messages into
4311 configuration files that happen to be opened as stderr.
4312
4313- If an interface is removed, the client will now notice that it is
4314 gone rather than spinning. This has only been tested on NetBSD.
4315
4316- The client will attempt to get an address even if it can't create a
4317 lease file.

4364- Implement omshell, which can be used to do arbitrary things to the
4365 server (in theory). (Damien Neil)
4366
4367- Fix a case where if a client had two different leases the server could
4368 actually dereference the second one when it hadn't been referenced,
4369 leading to memory corruption and a core dump. (James Brister)
4370
4371- Fix a case where a client could request the address of another client's
4372 lease, but find_lease wouldn't detect that the other client had it, and
4373 would attempt to allocate it to the client, resulting in a lease conflict
4374 message.
4375
4376- Fix a case where a client with more than one client identifier could be
4377 given a lease where the hardware address was correct but the client
4378 identifier was not, resulting in a lease conflict message.
4379
98311e4b 4380- Fix a problem where the server could write out a colon-separated
3350f5b7
TL
4381 hex list as a value for a variable, which would then not parse.
4382 The fix is to always write strings as quoted strings, with any
4383 non-printable characters quoted as octal escape sequences. So
4384 a file written the old way still won't work, but new files written
4385 this way will work.

4387- Fix documentation for sending non-standard options.

4390 break any configuration files that use the option-nnn convention.
4391 If you want to continue to use this convention for some options,
4392 please be sure to write a definition, like this:
4393
4394 option option-nnn code nnn = string;
4395
4396 You can use a descriptive name instead of option-nnn if you like.
4397
4398- Fix a problem where we would see a DHCPDISCOVER/DHCPOFFER/
4399 DHCPREQUEST/DHCPACK/DHCPREQUEST/DHCPNAK sequence. This was the
4400 result of a deceptively silly bug in supersede_lease.
4401

4415- Add support for transaction tracing. This allows the state of the
4416 DHCP server on startup, and all the subsequent transactions, to be
4417 recorded in a file which can then be played back to reproduce the
4418 behaviour of the DHCP server. This can be used to quickly
4419 reproduce bugs that cause core dumps or corruption, and also for
4420 tracking down memory leaks.
4421
4422- Incorporate some bug fixes provided by Joost Mulders for the DLPI
4423 package which should clear up problems people have been seeing on
4424 Solaris.
4425
4426- Fix bugs in the handling of options stored as linked lists (agent
4427 options, fqdn options and nwip options) that could cause memory
4428 corruption and core dumps.

4475
4476- Finish fixing a long-standing bug in the agent options code. This
4477 was causing core dumps and failing to operate correctly - in
4478 particular, agent option stashing wasn't working. Agent option
4479 stashing should now be working, meaning that agent options can be
4480 used in class statements to control address allocation.
4481

4492 transmitting packets to the server. Handy for debugging; not much
4493 practical use otherwise.

4504- Work around the Win98 DHCP client, which NUL-terminates the FQDN
4505 option.

4508 the update even when they don't have any way to do it.
4509
4510- Fix some log messages that can be printed when failover is operating
4511 that were not printing enough information.
4512
4513- It was possible for a DHCPDISCOVER to get an allocation even when
4514 the state machine said the server shouldn't be responding.
4515
4516- Don't load balance DHCPREQUESTs from clients in RENEWING and
4517 REBINDING, since in RENEWING, if we heard it, it's for us, and in
4518 REBINDING, the client wouldn't have got to REBINDING if its primary
4519 were answering.

4533 representation from working correctly.
4534
4535- Thanks to Chris Cheney and Michael Sanders, we have a fix for the
4536 hang that they both spotted in the DHCP server - when
4537 one-lease-per-client was set, the code to release the "other" lease
4538 could spin.
4539
4540- Fix a problem with alignment of the input buffer in bpf in cases
4541 where two packets arrive in the same bpf read.
4542
4543- Fix a problem where the relay agent would crash if you specified an
4544 interface name on the command line.
4545
4546- Add the ability to conditionalize client behaviour based on the
4547 client state.
4548
4549- Add support for the FQDN option, and added support for a new way of
4550 doing ddns updates (ddns update style interim) that allows more than
4551 one DHCP server to update the DNS for the same network(s). This
4552 was implemented by Damien Neil with some additional functionality
4553 added by Ted Lemon.
4554
4555- Damien added a "log" statement, so that the configuration file can
4556 be made to log debugging information and other information.
4557
4558- Fixed a bug that caused option buffers not to be terminated with an
4559 end option.
4560
4561- Fixed a long-standing bug in the support for option spaces where the
4562 options are stored as an ordered list rather than in a hash table,
4563 which could theoretically result in memory pool corruption.
4564
4565- Prevent hardware declarations with no actual hardware address from
4566 being written as something unparsable, and behave correctly in the
4567 face of a null hardware address on input.
4568
4569- Allow key names to be FQDNs, and qualify the algorithm name if it is
4570 specified unqualified.
4571
4572- Modify the DDNS update code so that it never prints the "resolver
4573 failed" message, but instead says *why* the resolver failed.

4576 RFC.

4638- Fix a possible DoS attack where a client could cause the checksummer
4639 to dump core. This was a read, not a write, so it shouldn't be
4640 possible to exploit it any further than that.
4641
4642- Implement client- and server-side support for using the Client FQDN
4643 option.
4644
4645- Support for other option spaces in the client has been added. This
4646 means that it is now possible to define a vendor option space on the
4647 client, request options in that space from the server (which must
4648 define the same option space), and then use those options in the
4649 client. This also allows NWIP and Client FQDN options to be used
4650 meaningfully.
4651
4652- Add object initializer support. This means that objects can now be
4653 initialized to something other than all-zeros when allocated, which
4654 makes, e.g., the interface object support code a little more robust.
4655
4656- Fix an off-by-one bug in the host stuffer. This was causing host
4657 deletes not the work, and may also have been causing OMAPI
