9ISC DHCP 4.2.x includes features that were not included in DHCP 4.1.x.
10These include:
37ec5845 11
98bf1607 12Processing the DHCP to DNS server transactions in an asyncrhonous fashion.
09afca0d 13The DHCP server or client can now continue with its processing while
98bf1607
SR
14awaiting replies from the DNS server.

16There are a number of DHCPv6 limitations and features missing in this
17release, which will be addressed in the future:
98bd7ca0 18
01a54c17 19- Only Solaris, Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD are supported.
3a16098f 20
adbef119
DH
21- DHCPv6 includes human-readable text in status code messages, in
22 English. A method to reconfigure or support other languages would
23 be preferrable.
98bd7ca0
DH
24
25- The "host-identifier" option is limited to a simple token.
26
98bd7ca0 27- The client and server can only operate DHCPv4 or DHCPv6 at a time,
45d545f0 28 not both. To use both protocols simultaneously, two instances of the
6de1f33e 29 relevant daemon are required, one with the '-6' command line option.

38The system has only been tested on Linux, FreeBSD, and Solaris, and may not
39work on other platforms. Please report any problems and suggested fixes to
40<dhcp-users@isc.org>.
98bd7ca0 41
6980ae03 42 Changes since 4.2.0 (new features)
51b8a8a0
SR
43
44- If a client renews before 'dhcp-cache-threshold' percent of its lease
45 has elapsed (default 25%), the server will reuse the allocated lease
46 (provide a lease within the currently allocated lease-time) rather
47 than extend or renew the lease. This absolves the server of needing
48 to perform an fsync() operation on the lease database before reply,
49 which improves performance. [ISC-Bugs #22228]
8cd88e20
SR
50 Update this patch to support asynchronous DDNS. If the server is
51 attempting to do DDNS on a lease it should be udpated and written to
52 disk even if that wouldn't be necessary due to the thresholding
53 [ISC-Bugs #26311]
51b8a8a0 54
6980ae03
SR
55- The 'no available billing' log line now also logs the name of the last
56 matching billing class tried before failing to provide a billing.
57 [ISC-Bugs #21759]
58
32e651c4
SR
59- A problem with missing get_hw_addr function when --enable-use-sockets
60 was used is now solved on GNU/Linux, BSD and GNU/Hurd systems. Note
61 that use-sockets feature was not tested on those systems. Client and
62 server code no longer use MAX_PATH constant that is not defined on
3cb6f9bb 63 GNU/Hurd systems. [ISC-Bugs #25979]
32e651c4 64
67418698
SR
65- Add a perl script in the contrib directory, dhcp-lease-list.pl, which
66 can parse v4 lease files and output the lease information in a more
67 human friendly manner. This was written by Christian Hammers with
68 some updates by vom and ISC. This is contributed code and is not
69 supported by ISC; however it may be useful to some users.
70 [ISC-Bugs #20680]
71
a7341359
SR
72- Add support in v6 for on-commit, on-expire and on-release.
73 [ISC-Bugs #27912
74
01fa619f
SR
75- Add support for using classes with v6.
76 [ISC-Bugs #26510]
77
d7d9c0c7
SR
78- Update the DDNS code to current standards and allow for sharing
79 of DDNS entries between v4 and v6 clients. The new code is used
80 if the ddns-update-style is set to "standard", the older code is
81 still available if ddns-update-style is set to "interim". The
82 oldest DDNS code "ad-hoc" has been removed. Thanks to Thomas Pegeot
83 who submitted a patch for this issue. This patch is based on
84 that work with some modifications.
64fb661c 85 [ISC-Bugs #21139]
1534fff7 86
cde11a4c
SR
87- Add a configuration option to the server to suppress using fsync().
88 Enabling this option will mean that fsync() is never called. This
89 may provide better performance but there is also a risk that a lease
90 will not be properly written to the disk after it has been issued
91 to a client and before the server stops. Using this option is
92 not recommended.
64fb661c 93 [ISC-Bugs #34810]
cde11a4c 94
f88446f1
SR
95- Add some logging statements to indicate when the server is ready
96 to serve. One statement is emitted after the server has finished
97 reading its files and is about to enter the dispatch loop.
98 This is "Server starting service.".
99 The second is emitted when a server determines that both it and
100 its failover peer are in the normal state.
101 This is "failover peer <name>: Both servers normal."
64fb661c 102 [ISC-Bugs #33208]
f88446f1 103
619304cd
SR
104- Add support for accessing options from v6 relays. The v6relay
105 statement allows the administrator to choose which relay to
106 use when searching for an option, see the dhcp-options man page
107 for a description. The host-identifer option has also been
108 updated to support the use of relay options see the dhcpd.conf
109 man page for a description.
110 [ISC-Bugs #19598]
111
e54ff84f
SR
112- When doing DDNS if there isn't an appropriate zone statement attempt
113 to find a reasoanble nameserver via a DNS resolver. This restores
114 some functionality that was lost in the transition to asynchronous
115 DDNS. Due to the lack of security and increase in fragility of the
116 system when using this feature we strongly recommend the use of
117 appropriate zone statements rather than using this functionality.
118 [ISC-Bugs #30461]

135 a compiler warning on Solaris using GCC.
136 [ISC-Bugs #33032]
137
360cc6d9
SR
138- Add a check for too much whitespace in a config or lease file.
139 Thanks to Paolo Pellegrino for finding the issue and a suggestion
140 for the patch.
141 [ISC-Bugs #33351]
08b2d347
SR
142
143- Fix several problems with using OMAPI to manipulate class and subclass
144 objects.
145 [ISC-Bugs #27452]
146
ad4001ce
SR
147- Added a sleep call after killing the old client to allow time
148 for the sockets to be cleaned. This should allow the -r option
149 to work more consistently.
150 [ISC-Bugs #18175]
151
3cb6f9bb
SR
152- Missing files for ISC DHCP Developer's Guide are now included in
153 the release tarballs. To generate this documentation, please use
154 make devel command in doc directory. [ISC-Bugs #32767]
155
f6dc164f
SR
156- Update client script for use with openwrt.
157 [ISC-Bugs #29843]
158
4b8251a0
SR
159- Fix the socket handling for DHCPv6 clients to allow multiple instances
160 of a client on a single machine to work properly. Previously only
161 one client would receive the packets. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat
162 for the bug report and a potential patch.
163 [ISC-Bugs #34784]
164
47e8308d 165- Added support for gentle shutdown after signal is received.
0895c955 166 [ISC-Bugs #32692] [ISC-Bugs 34945]
47e8308d 167
d9b5c150
SR
168- Enhance the DHCPv6 server logging to include the addresses that are assigned
169 to the clients.
170 [ISC-Bugs #26377]
171
9f9265b6
SR
172 Changes since 4.2.4
173
174- Correct code to calculate timing values in client to compare
175 rebind value to infinity instead of renew value.
176 Thanks to Chenda Huang from H3C Technologies Co., Limited
177 for reporting this issue.
178 [ISC-Bugs #29062]
179
35de6c8c
SR
180- Fix some issues in the code for parsing and printing options.
181 [ISC-Bugs #22625] - properly print options that have several fields
182 followed by an array of something for example "fIa"
183 [ISC-Bugs #27289] - properly parse options in declarations that have
184 several fields followed by an array of something for example "fIa"
185 [ISC-Bugs #27296] - properly determine if we parsed a 16 or 32 bit
186 value in evaluate_numeric_expression (extract-int).
187 [ISC-Bugs #27314] - properly parse a zero length option from
188 a lease file. Thanks to Marius Tomaschewski from SUSE for the report
189 and prototype patch for this ticket as well as ticket 27289.
190
de87ffe3
SR
191! Previously the server code was relaxed to allow packets with zero
192 length client ids to be processed. Under some situations use of
193 zero length client ids can cause the server to go into an infinite
194 loop. As such ids are not valid according to RFC 2132 section 9.14
195 the server no longer accepts them. Client ids with a length of 1
196 are also invalid but the server still accepts them in order to
197 minimize disruption. The restriction will likely be tightened in
198 the future to disallow ids with a length of 1.
199 Thanks to Markus Hietava of Codenomicon CROSS project for the
200 finding this issue and CERT-FI for vulnerability coordination.
201 [ISC-Bugs #29851]
202 CVE: CVE-2012-3571
203
e563ec2e
SR
204! When attempting to convert a DUID from a client id option
205 into a hardware address handle unexpected client ids properly.
206 Thanks to Markus Hietava of Codenomicon CROSS project for the
207 finding this issue and CERT-FI for vulnerability coordination.
208 [ISC-Bugs #29852]
209 CVE: CVE-2012-3570
210
3bedb117
SR
211! A pair of memory leaks were found and fixed. Thanks to
212 Glen Eustace of Massey University, New Zealand for finding
213 this issue.
214 [ISC-Bugs #30024]
df2c355e 215 CVE: CVE-2012-3954
3bedb117 216
18a28679
TM
217- Existing legacy unit-tests have been migrated to Automated Test
218 Framework (ATF). Several new tests have been developed. To enable
219 unit-tests, please use --with-atf in configure script. A Developer's
220 Guide has been added. To generate it, please use make devel in
221 the doc directory. It is currently in early stages of development,
222 but is expected to grow in the near future. [ISC-Bugs 25901]
223
0b2ec8c9 224! An issue with the use of lease times was found and fixed. Making
03b44855 225 certain changes to the end time of an IPv6 lease could cause the
0b2ec8c9
SR
226 server to abort. Thanks to Glen Eustace of Massey University,
227 New Zealand for finding this issue.
228 [ISC-Bugs #30281]
229 CVE: CVE-2012-3955
230
67b2cb45
SR
231- Update the memory leakage debug code to work with v6.
232 [ISC-Bugs #30297]
233
74977c94
SR
234- Relax the requirements for deleting an A or AAAA record.
235 Previously the DDNS removal code required both the A or AAAA
236 record and the TXT record to exist. This requirement could
237 cause problems if something interrupted the removal leaving
238 the TXT record alone. This relaxation was codified in RFC 4703.
239 [ISC-Bugs #30734]
240
30e42327
SR
241- Modify the failover code to handle incorrect peer names
242 better. Previously the structure holding the name might
243 have been freed inappropriately in some cases and not
244 freed in other cases.
245 [ISC-Bugs #30320]
246
d5d868e7 247- Add a configure option, enable-secs-byteorder, to deal with
dbd65517
SR
248 clients that do the byte ordering on the secs field incorrectly.
249 This field should be in network byte order but some clients
250 get it wrong. When this option is enabled the server will examine
251 the secs field and if it looks wrong (high byte non zero and low
252 byte zero) swap the bytes. The default is disabled. This option
253 is only useful when doing load balancing within failover.
254 [ISC-Bugs #26108]
255
0f750c4f
SR
256- Fix a set of issues that were discovered via a code inspection
257 tool. Thanks to Jiri Popelka and Tomas Hozza Red Hat for the logs
258 and patches.
259 [ISC-Bugs #23833]
260
962d5eab
SR
261- Parsing unquoted base64 strings improved. Parser now properly handles
262 strings that contain reserved names. [ISC-Bugs #23048]
263
d56788df
SR
264- Modify the nak_lease function to make some attempts to find a
265 server-identifier option to use for the NAK.
266 [ISC-Bugs #25689]
267
10613724
SR
268- The client now passes information about the options it requested
269 from the server to the script code via environment variables.
270 These variables are of the form requested_<option_name>=1 with
271 the option name being the same as used in the new_* and old_*
272 variables.
3aa562f8 273 [ISC-Bugs #29068]
10613724 274
f8380d3f
SR
275- Add support for a simple check that the server id in a request message
276 to a failover peer matches the server id of the server. This support
277 is enabled by editing the file includes/site.h and uncommenting the
278 definition for SERVER_ID_CHECK. The option has several restrictions
279 and issues - please read the comment in the site.h file before
280 enabling it.
281 [ISC-Bugs #31463]
282
d5d868e7 283- Tidy up some compiler issues in the debug code.
0d93c339
SR
284 [ISC-Bugs #26460]
285
9ff4e0a2
SR
286- Move the dhcpd.conf exmample file to dhcpd.conf.example to avoid
287 overwriting the dhcpd.conf file when installing a new version of
288 ISC DHCP. The user will now need to manual copy and edit the
289 dhcpd.conf file as desired.
290 [ISC-Bugs #19337]
291
1e2a127b
SR
292- Check the status value when trying to read from a connection to
293 see if it may have been closed. If it appears closed don't try
294 to read from it again. This avoids a potential busy-wait like
295 loop when the peer names are mismatched.
296 [ISC-Bugs #31231]
297
d5d868e7 298- Remove an unused variable to keep compilers happy.
8acc987b
SR
299 [ISC-Bugs #31983]
300
b89b8e16
SR
301- Modify test makefiles to be more similar to standard makefiles
302 and comment out a currently unused test.
56c0e681 303 [ISC-Bugs #32089]
b89b8e16 304
b95f1ee0
SR
305 Changes since 4.2.3
306
307! Add a check for a null pointer before calling the regexec function.
dc6908b4 308 Without this check we could, under some circumstances, pass
b95f1ee0 309 a null pointer to the regexec function causing it to segfault.
317d1182 310 Thanks to a report from BlueCat Networks.
b95f1ee0 311 [ISC-Bugs #26704].
846af1cd 312 CVE: CVE-2011-4539
b95f1ee0 313
0ef9a46e
SR
314! Modify the DDNS handling code. In a previous patch we added logging
315 code to the DDNS handling. This code included a bug that caused it
316 to attempt to dereference a NULL pointer and eventually segfault.
317 While reviewing the code as we addressed this problem, we determined
318 that some of the updates to the lease structures would not work as
319 planned since the structures being updated were in the process of
320 being freed: these updates were removed. In addition we removed an
321 incorrect call to the DDNS removal function that could cause a failure
322 during the removal of DDNS information from the DNS server.
323 Thanks to Jasper Jongmans for reporting this issue.
324 [ISC-Bugs #27078]
325 CVE: CVE-2011-4868
326
de6c9af6
SR
327- Fixed the code that checks if an address the server is planning
328 to hand out is in a reserved range. This would appear as
329 the server being out of addresses in pools with particular ranges.
330 [ISC-Bugs #26498]
331
87132514
SR
332- In the DDNS code handle error conditions more gracefully and add more
333 logging code. The major change is to handle unexpected cancel events
334 from the DNS client code.
cfc49463 335 [ISC-Bugs #26287]
87132514 336
cfc49463 337- Tidy up the receive calls and eliminate the need for found_pkt.
865afd5e
SR
338 [ISC-Bugs #25066]
339
b047bd38
SR
340- Add support for Infiniband over sockets to the server and
341 relay code. We've tested this on Solaris and hope to expand
342 support for Infiniband in the future. This patch also corrects
53394a8d
SR
343 some issues we found in the socket code.
344 [ISC-Bugs #24245]
b047bd38 345
e3c94800
SR
346- Add a compile time check for the presence of the noreturn attribute
347 and use it for log_fatal if it's available. This will help code
348 checking programs to eliminate false positives.
d13db163 349 [ISC-Bugs #27539]
e3c94800 350
dd9237c3
TM
351- Fixed many compilation problems ("set, but not used" warnings) for
352 gcc 4.6 that may affect Ubuntu 11.10 users. [ISC-Bugs #27588]
353
d13db163
SR
354- Modify the code that determines if an outstanding DDNS request
355 should be cancelled. This patch results in cancelling the
356 outstanding request less often. It fixes the problem caused
cfc49463 357 by a client doing a release where the TXT and PTR records
d13db163
SR
358 weren't removed from the DNS.
359 [ISC-BUGS #27858]
360
b342f2e7
SR
361- Use offsetof() instead of sizeof() to get the sizes for dhcpv6_relay_packet
362 and dhcpv6_packet in several more places. Thanks to a report from
363 Bruno Verstuyft and Vincent Demaertelaere of Excentis.
364 [ISC-Bugs #27941]
365
cfc49463
SR
366- Remove outdated note in the description of the bootp keyword about the
367 option not satisfying the requirement of failover peers for denying
368 dynamic bootp clients.
797aab67
SR
369 [ISC-bugs #28574]
370
bc7f8b8e
SR
371- Multiple items to clean up IPv6 address processing.
372 When processing an IA that we've seen check to see if the
373 addresses are usable (not in use by somebody else) before
374 handing it out.
375 When reading in leases from the file discard expired addresses.
376 When picking an address for a client include the IA ID in
377 addition to the client ID to generally pick different addresses
378 for different IAs.
379 [ISC-Bugs #23138] [ISC-Bugs #27945] [ISC-Bugs #25586]
380 [ISC-Bugs #27684]
381
d289ee68
SR
382- Remove unnecessary checks in the lease query code and clean up
383 several compiler issues (some dereferences of NULL and treating
384 an int as a boolean).
385 [ISC-Bugs #26203]
386
d19fa5a1
SR
387- Fix the NA and PD allocation code to handle the case where a client
388 provides a preference and the server doesn't have any addresses or
cfc49463
SR
389 prefixes available. Previously the server ignored the request with
390 this patch it replies with a NoAddrsAvail or NoPrefixAvail response.
d19fa5a1 391 By default the code performs according to the errata of August 2010
53394a8d 392 for RFC 3315 section 17.2.2; to enable the previous style see the
cfc49463 393 section on RFC3315_PRE_ERRATA_2010_08 in includes/site.h. This option
d19fa5a1
SR
394 may be removed in the future.
395 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the patch.
396 [ISC-Bugs #22676]
397
cfc49463 398- Fix up some issues found by static analysis.
bb9189c3
SR
399 A potential memory leak and NULL dereference in omapi.
400 The use of a boolean test instead of a bitwise test in dst.
401 [ISC-Bugs #28941]
402
cbbd2714
SR
403- Rotate the lease file when running in v6 mode.
404 Thanks to Christoph Moench-Tegeder at Astaro for the
405 report and the first version of the patch.
406 [ISC-Bugs #24887]
407
d208bb04
SR
408 Changes since 4.2.2
409
410- Fix the code that checks for an existing DDNS transaction to cancel
411 when removing DDNS information, so that we will continue with the
412 processing if we have a lease even if it doesn't have an outstanding
413 transaction. [ISC-Bugs #24682]
414
25f664a6
SR
415- Add AM_MAINTAINER_MODE to configure.ac to avoid rebuilding
416 configuration files. [ISC-Bugs #24107]
417
d424157d
SR
418- Add support for passing DDNS information to a DNS server over

432- DHCPv6 server now responds properly if client asks for a prefix that
433 is already assigned to a different client. [ISC-Bugs #23948]
4a5bfeac
SR
434
435- Add the option "--no-pid" to the client, relay and server code,
436 to disable writing a pid file. Add the option "-pf pidfile"
437 to the relay to allow the user to supply the pidfile name at
438 runtime. Add the "with-relay6-pid-file" option to configure
439 to allow the user to supply the pidfile name for the relay
440 in v6 mode at configure time.

5d082abd
TM
442
443- 'dhclient' no longer waits a random interval after first starting up to
444 begin in the INIT state. This conforms to RFC 2131, but elects not to
445 implement a 'SHOULD' direction in section 4.1. The goal of this change
73c83820 446 is to start up faster. [ISC-Bugs #19660]
5d082abd
TM
447
448- Added 'initial-delay' parameter that specifies maximum amount of time
449 before client goes to the INIT state. The default value is 0. In previous
450 versions of the code client could wait up to 5 seconds. The old behavior
451 may be restored by using 'initial-delay 5;' in the client config file.
73c83820 452 [ISC-Bugs #19660]
5d082abd
TM
453
454- ICMP ping-check should now sit closer to precisely the number of seconds
455 configured (or default 1), due to making use of the new microsecond
456 scale timer internally to dhcpd. This corrects a bug where the server
457 may immediately timeout an ICMP ping-check if it was made late in the
73c83820 458 current second. [ISC-Bugs #19660]
5d082abd
TM
459
460- The DHCP client will schedule renewal and rebinding events in
461 microseconds if the DHCP server provided a lease-time that would result
462 in sub-1-second timers. This corrects a bug where a 2-second or lower
463 lease-time would cause the DHCP client to enter an infinite loop by
73c83820 464 scheduling renewal at zero seconds. [ISC-Bugs #19660]
5d082abd
TM
465
466- Client lease records are recorded at most once every 15 seconds. This
467 keeps the client from filling the lease database disk quickly on very small
73c83820 468 lease times. [ISC-Bugs #19660]
5d082abd
TM
469
470- To defend against RFC 2131 non-compliant DHCP servers which fail to
471 advertise a lease-time (either mangled, or zero in value) the DHCP
472 client now adds the server to the reject list ACL and returns to INIT
473 state to hopefully find an RFC 2131 compliant server (or retry in INIT
73c83820 474 forever). [ISC-Bugs #19660]
023fbaa0
TM
475
476- Parameters configured to evaluate from user defined function calls can
477 now be correctly written to dhcpd.leases (as on 'on events' or dynamic
478 host records inserted via OMAPI). [ISC-Bugs #22266]
479
480- If a 'next-server' parameter is configured in a dynamic host record via
481 OMAPI as a domain name, the syntax written to disk is now correctly parsed
482 upon restart. [ISC-Bugs #22266]
656b1ece
TM
483
484- The DHCP server now responds to DHCPLEASEQUERY messages from agents using
485 IP addresses not covered by a subnet in configuration. Whether or not to
486 respond to such an agent is still governed by the 'allow leasequery;'
487 configuration parameter, in the case of an agent not covered by a configured
488 subnet the root configuration area is examined. Server now also returns
489 vendor-class-id option, if client sent it. [ISC-Bugs #21094]

560 processing if the configuration included overlapping pools or
561 multiple fixed-address entries for a single address. This issue

563 conditions, provides the user with extra information and recommended
564 steps to fix the problem. If the user enables the appropriate option

813 high standards we place on production sources we include by default.
814 As a result, the LDAP features are only included by using a compile-time
815 option which defaults off, and if you enable it you do so under your
816 own recognizance. We will be improving this software over time.

3c941d42 819 Changes since 4.2.0a1
928618dd
DH
820
821- When using 'ignore client-updates;', the FQDN returned to the client
822 is no longer truncated to one octet.
823
3c941d42
DH
824- Cleaned up an unused hardware address variable in nak_lease().
825
bdd8e747
DH
826- Manpage entries for the ia-pd and ia-prefix options were updated to
827 reflect support for prefix delegation.
828
3da71461
SR
829- Cleaned up some compiler warnings
830
fdfebedf
DH
831- An optimization described in the failover protocol draft is now included,
832 which permits a DHCP server operating in communications-interrupted state
833 to 'rewind' a lease to the state most recently transmitted to its peer,
834 greatly increasing a server's endurance in communications-interrupted.
835 This is supported using a new 'rewind state' record on the dhcpd.leases
836 entry for each lease.
837
7aa153b8
SR
838- Fix the trace code which was broken by the changes to the DDNS code.
839
adbef119
DH
840 Changes since 4.1.0 (new features)
841
d340bc24
DH
842- Failover port configuration can now be left to defaults (port 647) as
843 described in the -12 revision of the Failover draft (and assigned by
4b97eaff 844 IANA). Thanks in part to a patch from David Cantrell at Red Hat.
adbef119 845
0829d595
DH
846- If configured, dhclient may now transmit to an anycast MAC address,
847 rather than using a broadcast address. Thanks to a patch from David
848 Cantrell at Red Hat.
849
8a3c1e33
PS
850- Added client support for setting interface MTU and metric, thanks to
851 Roy "UberLord" Marples <roy@marples.name>.
852
a41d7a25
PS
853- Added client -D option to specify DUID type to send.
854
9e3eb22a
DH
855- A new failover configuration parameter has been introduced for those
856 environments where DHCP servers can be reasonably guaranteed to be
857 "down" when the failover TCP socket is severed, "auto-partner-down".
858 This parameter is not generally safe, and by default is disabled, so
859 please carefully review the documentation of this parameter in the
860 dhcpd.conf(5) manpage before determining to use it yourself.
861
33ea4622
DH
862- Added a configuration function, 'gethostname()', which calls the system
863 function of the same name and presents the results as a data expression.
864 This function can be used to incorporate the system level hostname of
865 the system the DHCP software is operating on in responses or queries (such
866 as including a failover partner's hostname in a dhcp message or binding
867 scope, or having a DHCP client send any system hostname in the host-name or
868 FQDN options by default).
869
5a671e87
DH
870- The dhcp-renewal-time and dhcp-rebinding-time options may now be configured
871 for DHCPv4 operation and used independently of the dhcp-lease-time
872 calculations. Invalid renew and rebinding times (e.g., greater than the
873 determined lease time) are omitted.
874
98bf1607 875- Processing the DHCP to DNS server transactions in an asyncrhonous fashion.
09afca0d 876 The DHCP server or client can now continue with its processing while
98bf1607 877 awaiting replies from the DNS server.
c900c5b2
DH
878
879- The 'hardware [ethernet|etc] ...;' parameter in host records has been
880 extended to attempt to match DHCPv6 clients by the last octets of a
881 DUID-LL or DUID-LLT provided by the client.
882
59112e84
SR
883 Changes since 4.1.0 (bug fixes)
884
62f6843d
MA
885- Remove infinite loop in token_print_indent_concat().
886
59112e84
SR
887- Validate the argument to the -p option.
888
47e6eb82
DH
889- The notorious 'option <unknown> ... larger than buffer' log line,
890 which is seen in some malformed DHCP client packets, was modified.
891 It now logs the universe name, and does not log the length values
892 (which are bogus corruption read from the packet anyway). It also
893 carries a hopefully more useful explanation.
894
159c89d7
EH
895- Suppress spurious warnings from configure about --datarootdir
896
1aa0fe5e
DH
897- A bug was fixed that caused the server not to answer some valid Solicit
898 and Request packets, if the dynamic range covering any requested addresses
899 had been deleted from configuration.
900
cd51403d
SR
901- Update the code to deal with GCC 4.3. This included two sets of changes.
902 The first is to the configuration files to include the use of
571c38b0 903 AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS. The second is to deal with return values that
cd51403d
SR
904 were being ignored.
905
64e1823d
DH
906- The db-time-format option was documented in manpages.
907
26e59ee9
DH
908- Using reserved leases no longer results in 'lease with binding state
909 free not on its queue' error messages, thanks to a patch from Frode
910 Nordahl.
911
70ea9345
PS
912- Fix a build error in dhcrelay, using older versions of gcc with
913 dhcpv6 disabled.
914
8d7dca58 915- Two uninitialized stack structures are now memset to zero, thanks to a
4b97eaff 916 patch from David Cantrell at Red Hat.
819186b7 917
f4534b17
DH
918- Fixed a cosmetic bug where pretty-printing valid domain-search options would
919 result in an erroneous error log message ('garbage in format string').
920
f9453d21
DH
921- A bug in DLPI packet transmission (Solaris, HP/UX) that caused the server
922 to stop receiving packets is fixed. The same fix also means that the MAC
923 address will no longer appear 'bogus' on DLPI-based systems.
924
925- A bug in select handling was discovered where the results of one select()
926 call were discarded, causing the server to process the next select() call
927 and use more system calls than required. This has been repaired - the
928 sockets will be handled after the first return from select(), resulting in
929 fewer system calls.
930
a3dcc0b1
DH
931- The update-conflict-detection feature would leave an FQDN updated without
932 a DHCID (still currently implemented as a TXT RR). This would cause later
933 expiration or release events to fail to remove the domain name. The feature
934 now also inserts the client's up to date DHCID record, so records may safely
935 be removed at expiration or release time. Thanks to a patch submitted by
936 Christof Chen.
937
95fd7038
DH
938- Memory leak in the load_balance_mine() function is fixed. This would
939 leak ~20-30 octets per DHCPDISCOVER packet while failover was in use
940 and in normal state.
941
942- Various compilation fixes have been included for the memory related
943 DEBUG #defines in includes/site.h.
944
8a3c1e33
PS
945- Fixed Linux client script 'unary operator expected' errors with DHCPv6.
946
947- Fixed setting hostname in Linux hosts that require hostname argument
948 to be double-quoted. Also allow server-provided hostname to
949 override hostnames 'localhost' and '(none)'.
950
dedde1ba
DH
951- Fixed failover reconnection retry code to continue to retry to reconnect
952 rather than restarting the listener.
953
a57df74a
DH
954- Compilation on Solaris with USE_SOCKETS defined in includes/site.h has
955 been repaired. Other USE_ overrides should work better.
956
957- A check for the local flavor of IFNAMSIZ had a broken 'else' condition,
958 that probably still resulted in the correct behaviour (but wouldn't use
959 a larger defined value provided by the host OS).
960
350576c5
DH
961- Fixed a bug where an OMAPI socket disconnection message would not result
962 in scheduling a failover reconnection, if the link had not negotiated a
963 failover connect yet (e.g.: connection refused, asynch socket connect()
964 timeouts).
965
792156a9
DH
966- A bug was fixed that caused the 'conflict-done' state to fail to be parsed
967 in failover state records.
968
8a4e543b
DH
969! A stack overflow vulnerability was fixed in dhclient that could allow
970 remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands as root on the system,
971 or simply terminate the client, by providing an over-long subnet-mask
1b12d999 972 option. CERT VU#410676 - CVE-2009-0692
8a4e543b 973
a1308b64
DH
974- Fixed a bug where relay agent options would never be returned when
975 processing a DHCPINFORM.
976
1b12d999
DH
977- Versions 3.0.x syntax with multiple name->code option definitions is now
978 supported. Note that, similarly to 3.0.x, for by-code lookups only the
979 last option definition is used.
980
d453265f
PS
981- Fixed a bug where a time difference of greater than 60 seconds between a
982 failover pair could cause the primary to crash on contact with the
983 secondary. Thanks to a patch from Steinar Haug.
984
3e29af1e
PS
985- Don't look for IPv6 interfaces on Linux when running in DHCPv4 mode.
986 Thanks to patches from Matthew Newton and David Cantrell.
987
b8d45c67
DH
988- Secondary servers in a failover pair will now perform ddns removals if
989 they had performed ddns updates on a lease that is expiring, or was
990 released through the primary. As part of the same fix, stale binding scopes
991 will now be removed if a change in identity of a lease's active client is
992 detected, rather than simply if a lease is noticed to have expired (which it
993 may have expired without a failover server noticing in some situations).
994
583c1c16
DH
995- A patch supplied by David Cantrell at RedHat was applied that detects
996 invalid calling parameters given to the ns_name_ntop() function.
997 Specifically, it detects if the caller passed a pointer and size pair
998 that causes the pointer to integer-wrap past zero.
999
e4e3a2ab
DH
1000! Fixed a fenceposting bug when a client had two host records configured,
1001 one using 'uid' and the other using 'hardware ethernet'. CVE-2009-1892
95f5d38c 1002
875e99dc
SR
1003- Fixed the check in the dhcp_interface_signal_handler routine to verify
1004 the existence of the linked signal handler before calling it.
1005
2267da84
DH
1006- Both host and subnet6 configuration groups are now included whether a
1007 fixed-address6 (DHCPv6) is in use or not. Host scoped configuration takes
1008 precedence. This fixes two bugs, one where host scoped configuration
1009 would not be included from a non-fixed-address6 host record, and the equal
1010 and opposite bug where subnet6 scoped configuration would not be used when
571c38b0 1011 over-riding values were not present in a matching fixed-address6 host
2267da84
DH
1012 configuration.
1013
cd3f0b9b
DH
1014- ./configure now checks to ensure the intX_t and u_intX_t types are defined,
1015 correcting a compilation failure when using Sun's compiler.
1016
0493fdca
SR
1017- Modified the handling of a connection to avoid releasing the omapi io
1018 object for the connection while it is still in use. One symptom from
1019 this error was a segfault when a failover secondary attempted to connect
1020 to the failover primary if their clocks were not synchronized.
1021
95bba8b6
SR
1022- Clean up to allow compilation with gcc 2.95.4 on FreeBSD. Remove an
1023 extra semi-colon from common/dns.c and moved setting a variable to NULL
1024 in server/dhcpv6.c to allow the compiler to decide that the variable
1025 was always properly set.
1026
adbef119 1027 Changes since 4.1.0b1
ebf076fe
EH
1028
1029- A missing "else" in dhcrelay.c could have caused an interface not to
1030 be recognized.
61d75ea2 1031
a4ffedd1
DH
1032 Changes since 4.1.0a2
1033
1034- A cosmetic bug in DHCPDECLINE processing was fixed which caused all
1035 successful DHCPDECLINEs to be logged as "not found" rather than
1036 "abandoned".
1037
6ff3b26d
FD
1038- Added configuration file examples for DHCPv6.
1039
1387545f
DH
1040- Some failover debugging #defines have been better defined and some
1041 high frequency messages moved to a deeper debugging symbol.
1042
1043- The CLTT parameter in failover is now only updated by client activity,
1044 and not by failover binding updates (taking on the peer's CLTT).
1045
1046- Failover BNDUPD messages are now discarded if they conflict with an
d7ac7a27 1047 update that has been transmitted, but not acknowledged.
1387545f 1048
399d3dbe
DH
1049- A bug cleaning up unknown-xxx temporary option definitions was fixed.
1050
fbcee149
DH
1051- Delayed-ack is now a compile-time option, compiled out by default.
1052 This feature is simply too experimental for right now, and causes
1053 some problems to some failover installations. We will revisit this
1054 in future releases.
1055
f1672d89
DH
1056- The !inet_pton() call in res_mkupdrec was adjusted to '<= 0' as
1057 inet_pton returns either 1, 0, or -1.
1058
236d3a99
DH
1059- A dhclient-script for MacOS X has been included, which enables
1060 'dhclient -6' support.
1061
efa5e6b9
DH
1062- DDNS removal routines were updated so that the DHCID is not removed until
1063 the client has been deprived of all A and AAAA records (not only the last
1064 one of either of those). This resolves a bug where dual stack clients
1065 would not be able to regain their names after either expiration event.
1066
7d6180be 1067 Changes since 4.1.0a1
edcb5c46
EH
1068
1069- Corrected list of failover state values in dhcpd man page.
1070
51e7687f
EH
1071- Fixed a bug that caused some request types to be logged incorrectly.
1072
20210a7b
EH
1073- Clients that sent a parameter request list containing the
1074 routers option before the subnet mask option were receiving
1075 only the latter. Fixed.
1076
535485df
EH
1077- The server wasn't always sending the FQDN option when it should.
1078
8fbb55ff
DH
1079- A partner-down failover server no longer emits 'peer holds all free leases'
1080 if it is able to newly-allocate one of the peer's leases.
1081
61220a00
EH
1082- Fixed a coredump when adding a class via OMAPI.
1083
c40e954c
EH
1084- Check whether files are zero length before trying to parse them.
1085
63971a83
DH
1086- Ari Edelkind's PARANOIA patch has been included and may be compiled in
1087 via two ./configure parameters, --enable-paranoia and
1088 --enable-early-chroot.
1089
66cebfcb
DH
1090- ./configure was extended to cover many optional build features, such
1091 as failover, server tracing, debugging, and the execute() command.
1092
f8cbf390
DH
1093- There is now a default 1/4 of a second scheduled delay between delayed
1094 fsync()'s, it can be configured by the max-ack-delay configuration
1095 parameter.
1096
8269561d
DH
1097- A bug was fixed where the length of a hostname was miscalculated, so that
1098 hosts were given odd-looking domain names ("foo.bar.ba.example.com").
1099
b445a411
DH
1100- Shared network selection should be done from the innermost relay
1101 valid link-address field, rather than the outermost.
1102
bd72740e
FD
1103- Prefix pools are attached to shared network scopes.
1104
9322442f
FD
1105- Merged IA_XX related structures.
1106
8dea7ba7
FD
1107- Add DHCPv6 files in configure.
1108
4619c0a2
DH
1109- A memory leak when using omapi has been fixed.
1110
9ac4206a
DH
1111- DHCPv6 vendor-class options (VSIO) are now only sent when they appear
1112 on the DHCPv6 ORO. This resolves a bug where VSIO options were placed
1113 in IA_NA encapsulated options fields.
1114
420d8b3f
FD
1115- Integrated client with stateless, temporary address and prefix delegation
1116 support.
1117
40ec5f38
DH
1118- A double-dereference in dhclient transmission of DHCPDECLINEs was
1119 repaired.
1120
80097764
FD
1121- Fix handling of format code 'Z'.
1122
ffbaa880
FD
1123- Support "-1" argument in DHCPv6.
1124
7de20a95
EH
1125- Merge DHCPv6-only "dhcrelay6" into general-purpose "dhcrelay" (use
1126 "-6" option to select DHCPv6 mode).
1127
d352732e
EH
1128- Fix handling of -A and -a flags in dhcrelay; it was failing to expand
1129 packet size as needed to add relay agent options.
1130
7d6180be
DH
1131- A bug in subnet6 parsing where options contained in subnet6 clauses would
1132 not be applied to clients addressed within that network was repaired.
1133
1134- When configuring a "subnet {}" or "subnet6 {}" without an explicit
1135 shared-network enclosing it, the DHCP software would synthesize a
1136 shared-network to contain the subnet. However, all configuration
1137 parameters within the subnet more intuitively belong "to any client
1138 on that interface", or rather the synthesized shared-network. So,
1139 when a shared-network is synthesized, it is used to contain the
1140 configuration present inside the subnet {} clause. This means that
1141 the configuration will be valid for all clients on that network, not
1142 just those addressed out of the stated subnet. If you intended the
1143 opposite, the workaround is to explicitly configure an empty
1144 shared-network.
1145
1146- A bug was fixed where Information-Request processing was not sourcing
1147 configured option values.
1148
1149- A warning was added since the DHCPv6 processing software does not yet
1150 support class statements.
1151
dd484ced
DH
1152- Compliation warnings on GCC 4.3 relating to bootp source address
1153 selection were repaired.
1154
ecddae64
DH
1155- The v6 BSD socket method was updated to use a single UDP BSD socket
1156 no matter how many interfaces are involved, differentiating the
1157 interfaces the packets were received on by the interface index supplied
1158 by the OS.
1159
1160- The relay agent no longer listens to the All DHCP Servers Multicast
1161 address.
1162
1163- A bug was fixed in data_string_sprintfa() where va_start was only called
1164 once for two invocations of vsprintf() variants.
1165
d104d45b
DH
1166- ERO (RFC 4994) server support.
1167
1168- Basic and partial DHCPv6 leasequery support.
1169
1170- Reliable DHCPv6 release (previous behavior, send release and exit, is
1171 still available with dhclient -6 -1 -r).
1172
01a54c17 1173 Changes since 4.0.0 (new features)
3c12f746 1174
6d7f9584
FD
1175- Added DHCPv6 rapid commit support.
1176
4cafb815 1177- Added explicit parser support for zero-length DHCP options, such as
6d7f9584 1178 rapid-commit, via format code 'Z'.
4cafb815 1179
022fe95e
EH
1180- It's now possible to update the "ends" field of a lease with OMAPI.
1181 This is useful if you want not only to release a lease, but also make
1182 it available for reuse right away. Hat tip to Christof Chen.
1183
1dcc3612
SK
1184- Fixed definition of the iaaddr hash functions to use the correct
1185 functions when referencing and dereferencing memory.
1186
aabfa4de
FD
1187- Some definitions not in phase with the IANA registry were updated.
1188
0674055a
FD
1189- Allocated interface IDs are better controlled ('u' bit set to zero,
1190 reserved IDs avoided).
1191
b51c785f
FD
1192- Unicast options are taken into account only for RENEWs.
1193
900405e9
FD
1194- NoAddrsAvail answers to SOLICITs are always ADVERTISEs even when a SOLICIT
1195 carries a rapid-commit option.
1196
96b620e5
FD
1197- Return in place of raise an impossible condition when one tries to release
1198 an empty active lease.
1199
be62cf06
FD
1200- Timer granularity is now 1/100s in the DHCPv6 client.
1201
01a54c17
EH
1202- The dhclient-script was updated to create a host route for the default
1203 gateway if the supplied subnet mask for an IPv4 address was a /32. This
1204 allows the client to work in 'captive' network environments, where the
1205 operator does not want clients to crosstalk directly.
1206
1207- MINUS tokens should be parseable again.
1208
1209- Multiple (up to "delayed-ack x;" maximum) DHCPv4 packets are now queued and
1210 released in bursts after single fsync() events when the upper limit is
1211 reached or if the receiving sockets go dry. The practical upshot is
1212 that fsync-coupled server performance is now multiplicitively increased.
1213 The default delayed ack limit is 28. Thanks entirely to a patch from
1214 Christof Chen.
1215
1216 Changes since 4.0.0 (bug fixes)
1217
1218- DHCP now builds on AIX.
1219
1220- Exit with warning when DHCPv6-specific statements are used in the
1221 config file but -6 is not specified.
1222
1223- Fixed "--version" flag in dhcrelay
1224
1225- The 'min-secs' configuration parameter's log message has been updated to
1226 be more helpful.
1227
1228- The warning logged when an address range doesn't fit in the subnets
1229 they were declared has been updated to be more helpful and identify the
1230 typo in configuration that created the spanning addresses.
1231
1232- A bug in failover pool rebalancing that caused POOLREQ message ping-pongs
1233 was repaired.
1234
1235- A flaw in failover pool rebalancing that could cause POOLREQ messages to
1236 be sent outside of the min-balance/max-balance scheduled intervals has
1237 been repaired.

1239- A cosmetic bug during potential-conflict recovery that caused the peer's
1240 'conflict-done' state message to be logged as 'unknown-state' has been
1241 repaired. It is now logged correctly.

DH
1243- A bug was fixed where the 'giaddr' may be used to find the client's subnet
1244 rather than its own 'ciaddr'.

41d4652f
DH
1246- A log message was introduced to clarify the situation where a failover
1247 'address' parameter (the server's local address) did not resolve to an
1248 IPv4 address.
1249
2c9bf1f4
DH
1250- The minimum site code value was set to 224 in 3.1.0 to track RFC3942. This
1251 broke a lot of legacy site local configurations. The new code in place will
1252 track site local space minimum option codes and logs a warning to encourage
1253 updates and exploration of site local code migration problems. Option
1254 codes less than 128 in site local spaces remain inaccessible.
1255
1256- A possible relay agent option bug was repaired where random server
1257 initialization state may have been used to signal the relay agent
1258 information options sub-option code for the 'END' of the option space.

SK
1264- When server is configured with options that it overrides, a warning is
1265 issued when the configuration file is read, rather than at the time the
1266 option is overridden. This was important, because the warning was given
1267 every time the option was overridden, which could create a lot of
1268 unnecessary logging.
1269
219a65eb
DH
1270- Fixed a compilation problems on platforms that define a value for FDDI,
1271 which conflicts with a dhcp configuration syntax token by the same name.
1272
ffdf3c8c
DH
1273- When a failover server suspects it has encountered a peer running a
1274 version 3.0.x failover server, a warning that the failover wire protocol
1275 is incompatible is printed.

1277- The failover server no longer issues a floating point error if it encounters
1278 a previously undefined option code.

1295 use ip6.arpa. rather than default to in-addr.arpa and require user
1296 configuration.
76db44f9 1297
e32529a5
EH
1298- dhc6_lease_destroy() and dhc6_ia_destroy() now set lease and IA pointers
1299 to NULL after freeing, to prevent subsequent accesses to freed memory.
1300
76db44f9
SK
1301- The DHCPv6 server would not send the preference option unless the
1302 client requested it, via the ORO. This has been fixed, so the DHCPv6
1303 server will always send the preference value if it is configured.
e4a6be15 1304
6f76de58
SK
1305- When addresses were passed as hints to the server in an IA, they were
1306 incorrectly handled, sometimes being treated as an error. Now the
1307 server will treat these as hints and ignore them if it cannot supply
1308 a requested address.
1309
703873ab
DH
1310- If the client had multiple addresses, and one expired (was not renewed
1311 by the server), the client would continue to attempt to renew the same
1312 old address over and over. Now, the client will omit any expired
1313 addresses from future Confirm, Renew, or Rebind messages.
1314
1315- dhclient -6 will now select renew/rebind timers based upon the longest
1316 address expiration time rather than the shortest expiration time, in
1317 order to avoid cascading renewals in the event a server elects not to
1318 extend one of multiple IAADDR leases.
1319
b024480e
DH
1320- The server now limits clients that request multiple addresses to one
1321 address per IA by default, which can be adjusted through the
1322 "limit-addrs-per-ia" configuration option.
1323
c0216cb7

1324- The DHCPv6 client now issues fresh transaction IDs on Renew and Rebind
1325 message exchanges, rather than using the most recent ID.

1340- ./configure now autodetects local database locations rather than trying
1341 to put dhcpd.leases and dhclient.leases in /usr/local/var/db, which no
1342 one ever has.

1356- Relative time may now be used as a qualifier for 'allow' and 'deny' access
1357 control lists. These directives may be used to assist in re-addressing
1358 address pools without having to constantly reconfigure the server. Please
1359 see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more information on allow/deny 'after time' syntax.

1414- DHCPv6 server Confirm message processing has been enhanced - it no
1415 longer replies only to clients with host {} records, it now replies

1420
7285af30
DH
1421- DDNS updates state information are now stored in 'binding scopes' that
1422 follow the leases through their lifecycles. This enables DDNS teardowns
1423 on leases that are assigned and expired inbetween a server restart (the
1424 state is recovered from dhcpd.leases). Arbitrary user-specified binding
1425 scopes ('set var = "value";') are not yet supported.

1539 Changes since 3.1.0 (NEW FEATURES)
1540
1541- DHCPv6 Client and Server protocol support. Use '-6' to run the daemons
1542 as v6-only. Use '-4' to run the daemons as v4-only (default. There is
1543 no support currently for both.
1544
1545- Server support for multiple IA_NA options, containing at most one
1546 IAADDR option.
1547
1548- Client support for one IA_NA option, containing any number of IAADDR
1549 options.
1550
1551- Server support for the DHCPv6 Information-request message.
1552
1553- Inappropriate unicast DHCPv6 messages sent to the server are now
1554 discarded, and this has rearchitected the IO system slightly.
1555
1556- The DHCPv6 server DUID defaults to type 1, is persistently stored in
1557 the leases database, and can be over-ridden (either completely, or by
1558 specifying type 1 or type 2).
1559
1560- The server only uses Rapid-Commit if it has been configured with the
1561 Rapid-Commit option and the client requests it.
1562
1563- DDNS support. We now update AAAA records in the same place we would
1564 update A records, if we have an IPv6 address. We also generate IP6.ARPA
1565 style names for PTR records if we're dealing with an IPv6 address. Both
1566 A and AAAA updates are done using the same 'fqdn.' virtual option space
1567 (although the DHCPv4 FQDN and DHCPv6 FQDN options are formatted
1568 differently, they both use the same code here).
1569
1570- The Linux dhclient-script attempts to set and remove assigned addresses,
1571 and to configure /etc/resolv.conf from nameserver and domain name
1572 configurations. It can be extended to configure other parameters.
1573
1574- Initial DHCPv6 lease support.
1575
1576- The IO system now tracks all local IP addresses, so that the DHCP
1577 applications (particularly the dhcrelay) can discern between what frames
1578 were transmitted to it, and what frames are being carried through it which
1579 it should not intercept.

DH
1581 Changes since 3.1.0 (Maintenance)

1584 mapped to the primary. Virgin leases now have an interleaved preference
1585 between primary and secondary.
1586
1587- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for clients with no client
1588 identifier was sometimes mishashed to the peer. Load balancing during
1589 runtime and pool rebalancing were opposing.

DH
1593- The subnet-mask option inclusion now conforms with RFC2132 section 3.3;
1594 it will only appear prior to the routers option if it is present on the
1595 Parameter-Request-List. The subnet-mask option will also only be
1596 included by default (if it is not on the PRL) in response to DISCOVER
1597 or REQUEST messages.
1598

1611- Failover rebalance events no longer play ping pong with round errors
1612 (moving leases between free and back to backup where there are an
1613 odd number of leases).
1614
1615- The 'pool' log line has been split into two messages, one before the
1616 rebalance run, and one after.
1617
1618- Any queued BNDACKs are transmitted before transmitting new BNDUPDs.
1619 This enforces the correct sequence of events for the remote server
1620 processing these messages.

1627- A new server config option "fqdn-reply" specifies whether the server
1628 should send out option 81 (FQDN). Defaults to "on". If set to "off",
1629 the FQDN option is not sent, even if the client requested it. This is
1630 needed because some clients misbehave otherwise. Thanks to Christof Chen

1668 fatal internal error, "Unable to find server option 49".
1669
85edef5c
DH
1670- A bug was fixed in dhclient rendering the textual output form of the
1671 domain-search option syntax.
1672
bdddcb7d
DH
1673 Changes since 3.1.0a1
1674
1675- A bug in the FQDN universe that added FQDN codes to the NWIP universe's
1676 hash table was repaired.
1677
616d67cb
DH
1678- The servers now try harder to transmit pending binding updates when
1679 entering normal state.
1680
1681- UPDREQ/UPDREQALL handling was optimized - it no longer dequeues and
1682 requeues all pending updates. This should reduce the number of spurious
66c8f734
DH
1683 'xid mismatch' log messages.
1684
1685- An option definition referencing leak was fixed, which resulted in early
1686 termination of dhclient upon the renewal event.
616d67cb 1687
6708d944
DH
1688- Some default hash table sizes were tweaked, some upwards, some downwards.
1689 3.1.0a1's tables resulted in a reduction in default server memory use.
1690 The new selected values provide more of a zero sum (increasing the size
1691 of tables likely to be populated, decreasing the size of tables unlikely).
1692
45d545f0 1693- Lease structures appear in three separate hashes: by IP address, by UID,
6708d944
DH
1694 and by hardware address. One type of table was used for all three, and
1695 improvements to IP address hashing were applied to all three (so UID and
1696 hardware addresses were treated like 4-byte integers). There are now two
1697 types of tables, and the uid/hw hashes use functions more appropriate
1698 to their needs.
1699
1700- The max-lease-misbalance percentage no longer causes scheduled rebalance
1701 runs to be skipped: it still governs the schedule, but every scheduled
1702 run will attempt balance.
1703
a7ee93fe
DH
1704- A segfault bug in recursive encapsulation support has been corrected.
1705
98311e4b
DH
1706 Changes since 3.0 (New Features)
1707
1708- A workaround for certain STSN servers that send a mangled domain-name
1709 option was introduced for dhclient. The client will now accept corrupted
1710 server responses, if they contain a valid DHCP_MESSAGE_TYPE (OFFER, ACK,
1711 or NAK). The server will continue to not accept corrupt client packets.
1712
98bd7ca0 1713- Support for 'reserved' (pseudo-static) and BOOTP leases via failover
a55ccdd0 1714 was introduced.
98311e4b
DH
1715
1716- Support for adding, removing, and managing class and subclass statements
1717 via OMAPI.
1718
a55ccdd0
DH
1719- The failover implementation was updated to comply with revision 12 of
1720 the protocol draft.
1721
98311e4b
DH
1722- 'make install' now creates the initial zero-length dhcpd.leases file if
1723 one does not already exist on the system.
1724
b43c87ad 1725- RFC3942 compliance, site-local option spaces start at 224 now, not 128.
b43c87ad 1726
0b17f049
DH
1727- The Load Balance Algorithm was misimplemented. The current implementation
1728 matches RFC 3074.
1729
2727c1cf
DH
1730- lcase() and ucase() configuration expressions have been added which adjust
1731 their arguments from upper to lower and lower to upper cases respectively.
2714a8ef 1732 Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
2727c1cf 1733
febbd402
DH
1734- The dhclient 'reject ...;' statement, which rejects leases given by named
1735 server-identifiers, now permits address ranges to be specified in CIDR
7d7073e7 1736 notation. Thanks to a patch from David Boyce.
febbd402 1737
ee912528
DH
1738- The subnet-mask option is now supplied by default, but at lowest
1739 priority. This helps a small minority of clients that provide parameter
1740 request lists, but do not list the subnet-mask option because they were
1741 designed to interoperate with a server that behaves in this manner.
1742
1743- The FQDN option is similarly supplied even if it does not appear on the
1744 parameter request list, but not to the exclusion of options that do
1745 appear at the parameter request list. Up until now it had ultimate
1746 priority over the client's parameter request list.
1747
f7fdb216 1748- Varying option space code and length bit widths (8/16/32) are now
51202707 1749 supported. This is a milestone in achieving RFC 3925 "VIVSO" and
f7fdb216
DH
1750 DHCPv6 support.
1751
5e864416
DH
1752- A new common (server or client) option, 'db-time-format local;', has
1753 been added which prints the local time in /var/db/dhcpd.leases rather
1754 than UTC. Thanks to a patch from Ken Lalonde.
1755
b500bd4c
DH
1756- Some patches to improve DHCP Server startup speed from Andrew Matheson
1757 have been incorporated.
1758
2426234f
DH
1759- Failover pairs now implement 'MAC Affinity' on leases moving from the
1760 active to free states. Leases that belonged to the failover secondary
1761 are moved to BACKUP state rather than FREE upon exiting EXPIRED state.
1762 If lease rebalancing must move leases, it tries first to move leases
1763 that belong to the peer in need.
1764
1765- The server no longer sends POOLREQ messages unless the pool is severely
1766 misbalanced in the peer's favor (see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more details).
1767
1768- Pool rebalance events no longer happen upon successfully allocating a
1769 lease. Instead, they happen on a schedule. See 'man dhcpd.conf' for the
1770 min-balance and max-balance statements for more information.
1771
334bf491
DH
1772- The DHCP Relay Agent Information Option / Link Selection Sub-Option
1773 is now supported. (See RFC3527 for details).
1774
3004bebf
DH
1775- A new DDNS related server option, update-conflict-detection, has been
1776 added. If this option is enabled, dhcpd will perform normal DHCID
1777 conflict resolution (the default). If this option is disabled, it will
1778 instead trust the assigned name implicitly (removing any other bindings
1779 on that name). This option has not been made available in dhclient.
1780
567e8561
DH
1781- In those cases where the DHCP software manufactures an IP header (to
1782 transmit via bpf, lpf, etc), the IP TTL the software selects has been
1783 increased from 16 to 128. This is intended to match Microsoft Windows
1784 DHCP Client behaviour, to increase compatibility.
1785
a396d25f
DH
1786- 'ignore client-updates;' now has behaviour that is different from
1787 'deny client-updates;'. The client's request is not truly ignored,
1788 rather it is encouraged. Should this value be configured, the server
1789 updates DNS as though client-updates were set to 'deny'. That is, it
1790 enters into DNS whatever it is configured to do already, provided it is
1791 configured to. Then it sends a response to the client that lets the
1792 client believe it is performing client updates (which it will), probably
1793 for a different name. In essence, this lets the client do as it will,
1794 ignoring this aspect of their request.
1795
dba5803b
DH
1796- Support for compressed 'domain name list' style DHCP option contents, and
1797 in particular the domain search option (#119) was added.
1798
41e45067 1799- The DHCP LEASEQUERY protocol as defined in RFC4388 is now implemented.
6d103865
SK
1800 LEASEQUERY lets you query the DHCP server for information about a lease,
1801 using either an IP address, MAC address, or client identifier. Thanks
1802 to a patch from Justin Haddad.
1803
41e45067
DH
1804- DHCPD is now RFC2131 section 4.1 compliant (broadcast to all-ones ip and
1805 ethernet mac address) on the SCO platform specifically without any strange
1806 ifconfig hacks. Many thanks go to the Kroger Co. for donating the
1807 hardware and funding the development.
6d103865 1808
b543fea9
DH
1809- A new common configuration executable statement, execute(), has been
1810 added. This permits dhcpd or dhclient to execute a named external
1811 program with command line arguments specified from other configuration
1812 language. Thanks to a patch written by Mattias Ronnblom, gotten to us
1813 via Robin Breathe.
1814
b22de500
DH
1815- A new dhcp server option 'adaptive-lease-time-threshold' has been added
1816 which causes the server to substantially reduce lease-times if there are
1817 few (configured percentage) remaining leases. Thanks to a patch submitted
1818 from Christof Chen.
1819
96bbe8c5
SK
1820- Encapsulated option spaces within encapsulated option spaces is now
1821 formally supported.
1822
b8221d95
DH
1823 Changes since 3.0.6rc1
1824
1825- supersede_lease() now requeues leases in their respective hardware
1826 address hash bucket. This mirrors client identifier behaviour.
1827
c1e6c832
DH
1828 Changes since 3.0.5
1829
f546c28b
DH
1830- Assorted fixes for broken network devices: Packet length is now
1831 determined from the IP header length field to finally calculate the
1832 UDP payload length, because some NIC drivers return more data than
5a22eb63 1833 they actually received.
f546c28b
DH
1834
1835- UDP packets are now stored in aligned data structures.
1836
c1e6c832
DH
1837- A logic error in omapi interface code was repaired that might result in
1838 incorrectly indicating 'up' state when any flags were set, rather than
23e10d37
DH
1839 specifically the INTERFACE_REQUESTED flag. Thanks to a patch from
1840 Jochen Voss which got to us via Andrew Pollock at Debian.
c1e6c832 1841
75ab3070
DH
1842- A reference leak on binding scopes set by ddns updates was repaired.
1843
d69fb6a8 1844- A memory leak in the minires_nsendsigned() function call was repaired.
23e10d37 1845 Effectively, this leaked ~176 bytes per DDNS update.
d69fb6a8 1846
02428754
DH
1847- In the case where an "L2" DHCP Relay Agent (one that does not set giaddr)
1848 was directly attached to the same broadcast domain as the DHCP server,
1849 the RFC3046 relay agent information option was not being returned to the
1850 relay in the server's replies. This was fixed; the dhcp server no longer
1851 requires the giaddr to reply with relay agent information. Note that
1852 this also improves compatibility with L2 devices that "intercept" DHCP
1853 packets and expect relay agent information even in unicast (renewal)
23e10d37
DH
1854 replies. Thanks to a patch from Pekka Silvonen.
1855
1856- A bug was fixed where the BOOTP header 'sname' field had a value, the
1857 copy written to persistent storage was actually the contents of the
1858 'file' field.
02428754 1859
ecde99a3
DH
1860- A bug was fixed where the nwip virtual option space was referencing
1861 the fqdn option's virtual option space's option cache.
1862
67674ffb
DH
1863- Timestamp parsing errors that indicated missing "minutes" fields rather
1864 than the actually missing "seconds" fields have been repaired thanks to
1865 a patch from Kevin Steves.
1866
830ebc4c
DH
1867- A grammar error in the dhclient.8 manpage was repaired thanks to a patch
1868 from Chris Wagner.
1869
c759db75
DH
1870- Several spelling typos were repaired, and some cross-references to other
1871 relevant documents were included in the manpages, thanks to a patch
1872 by Andrew Pollock which got to us via Tomas Pospisek.
1873
9aa3f3a5
DH
1874- Some bugs were fixed in the 'emergency relay agent options hologram'
1875 which is used to retain relay agent option contents from when the
1876 client was in INIT or REBIND states. This should solve problems where
1877 relay agent options were not echoed from the server, even when giaddr
1878 was set.
1879
3d0c598a
DH
1880- dhclient now closes its descriptor to dhclient.leases prior to executing
1881 dhclient-script. Thanks to a patch from Tomas Pospisek.
1882
d5b6835f
DH
1883- The server's "by client-id" and "by hardware address" hash table lists
1884 are now sorted according to the preference to re-allocate that lease to
1885 returning clients. This should eliminate pool starvation problems
1886 arising when "INIT" clients were given new leases rather than presently
1887 active ones.
1888
02428754 1889 Changes since 3.0.5rc1
0a73b7b6 1890
901306d5 1891- A bug was repaired in fixes to the dhclient, which sought to run the
0a73b7b6
SK
1892 dhclient-script with the 'EXPIRE' state should it receive a NAK in
1893 response to a REQUEST. The client now iterates the PREINIT state
1894 after the EXPIRE state, so that interfaces that might be configured
1895 'down' can be brought back 'up' and initialized.
1896
87a08ccc
DH
1897- DHCPINFORM handling for clients that properly set ciaddr and come to the
1898 server via a relay aget has been repaired.
1899
6da113fb
DH
1900 Changes since 3.0.4
1901
1902- A warning that host statements declared within subnet or shared-network
1903 scopes are actually global has been added.
1904
1905- The default minimum lease time (if min-lease-time was not specified)
1906 was raised from 0 to 300. 0 is not thought to be sensible, and is
1907 known to be damaging.
1908
1909- Added additional fatal error sanity checks surrounding lease binding
1910 state count calculations (free/active counts used for failover pool
1911 balancing).
1912
dcc557db
DH
1913- Some time value size fixes in 3.0.4 brought on from FreeBSD /usr/ports were
1914 misapplied to server values rather than client values. The server no longer
1915 advertises 8-byte lease-time options when on 64-bit platforms.
1916
1b2ab55f
DH
1917- A bug where leases not in ACTIVE state would get billed to billed classes
1918 (classes with lease limitations) was fixed. Non-active leases OFFERed
1919 to clients are no longer billed (but billing is checked before offering).
1920
e48891e8
DH
1921- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated in regard to the ddns-domainname
1922 configuration option - the default configuration and results should be
1923 more clear now.
1924
6cbc6629
DH
1925- If the dhclient were to receive a DHCPNAK while it was in the RENEW
1926 state (and consequently, had an active, 'bound' address and related
1927 configuration options), it would fail to 'tear down' this information
1928 before proceeding into INIT state. dhclient now iterates the dhclient-
1929 script with the 'EXPIRE' action to cause these teardowns prior to entering
1d3bfb17 1930 INIT state. Thanks to a patch from Chris Zimmerman.
6cbc6629 1931
c5fec5fa
DH
1932- The omapi.1 manpage had some formatting errors repaired thanks to a patch
1933 from Yoshihiko Sarumaru.
1934
33e1cb2b
DH
1935- A few lines of code that were failover-specific were moved within
1936 #if defined() clauses so that compilation without failover could be
1937 made possible.
1938
2bddf829
DH
1939- The log message emitted when the 'leased-address' value was not available
1940 in dhcpd.conf "executable statements" has been updated to be more helpful.
1941 Manpage information for this value has also been updated.
1942
87578987
DH
1943- Abandoned or dissociated (err condition) leases now remove any related
1944 dynamic dns bindings. Thanks to a patch from Patrick Schoo.
1945
e77c575f
DH
1946- Attempting to write a new lease file to replace a corrupt (due to
1947 encountering non-retryable errors during writing) lease file should
1948 no longer result in an infinite recursion.
1949
2178df03
DH
1950- Host declaration hardware addresses and client identifiers may only be
1951 configured once. dhcpd will now fail to load config files that specify
1952 multiple identifiers (previous versions would silently over-ride the
1953 value with the later configured value).
1954
d5341d9b
SK
1955- Several option codes that have been allocated since our last release
1956 have been named and documented.
1957
1958- Option names of the form "unknown-123" have been removed from the in-
1959 memory hash tables. In order to support options of these names that
1960 may appear in dhclient.leases or similar in previous versions, the
1961 parser will now find the new option code definition, or mock up a
1962 generic option code definition. This should result in a smooth
1963 transition from one name to the other, as the new name is used to
1964 write new output.
1965
6da113fb
DH
1966 Changes since 3.0.4rc1
1967
1968- The dhcp-options.5 manpage was updated to correct indentation errors
1969 thanks to a patch from Jean Delvare.
1970
1971 Changes since 3.0.4b3
1972
1973- Some manual pages were clarified pursuant to discussion on the dhcp-server
1974 mailing list.
1975
88cd8aca
DH
1976 Changes since 3.0.4b2
1977
45d545f0 1978- Null-termination sensing for certain clients that unfortunately require
88cd8aca
DH
1979 it in DHCPINFORM processing was repaired.
1980
1981- The host-name option and a few others were moved from "X" format to "t"
1982 format to be compatible with new NULL handling functions.
1983
1984- DHCPINFORM processing is a little more careful about return addressing
1985 its responses, or if responding via a relay. The INFORM related
1986 messages also log the 'effective client ip address' rather than the
1987 client's supplied ciaddr (since some clients produce null ciaddrs).
1988
1989- The server was inappropriately sending leases to the RESET state in the
1990 event that multiple active leases were found to match a singly-identified
1991 client. This was changed to RELEASED (by accepting a different, ACTIVE
1992 binding, the client is implicitly releasing its lease). This repairs a
1993 bug wherein secondary servers in failover pairs detecting this condition
1994 move leases to RESET, and primaries refuse to accept that state
1995 transition (properly).
1996
1997- The memset-after-dmalloc() changes made in 3.0.4b1 have been backed out.
1998
1999 Changes since 3.0.4b1
2000
2001- Command line parsing in omshell was repaired - it no longer closes
2002 STDIN after reading one line.
2003
2004- The resolver library no longer closes the /etc/resolv.conf file
2005 descriptor it opened twice.
2006
2007- Changes to trailing NULL removal in 't' option-atoms has been rethought,
2008 it now includes 'd' (domain name) types, and tries hard not to rewind an
2009 option beyond the start of the text field it is un-terminating.
2010
2011 Changes since 3.0.3
2012
2013- A DDNS update handling function was misusing the DNS error codes, rather
2014 than the internal generic result enumeration. The result is a confusing
2015 syslog line, logging the wrong condition.
2016
2017- The DHCP Server was not checking pool balance in the case where it brought
2018 a non-ACTIVE lease out of storage for a client that was returning to use
2019 a lease it once had long ago, and had since expired.
2020
2021- Failover peers no longer bother to look for free leases to allocate when
2022 they already found the client's ACTIVE lease. DISCOVERs are load balanced
98bd7ca0 2023 whether freely-allocated or not, unless the server doubts the peer has
88cd8aca
DH
2024 leases to allocate.
2025
2026- Fixed a bug in dhcrelay agent addition code that suppressed trailing
45d545f0 2027 PAD options - it was suppressing only one trailing PAD option, rather
88cd8aca
DH
2028 than the entire block of them.
2029
3a16098f
DH
2030! Fixed some unlikely overlapping-region memcpy() bugs in dhcrelay agent
2031 option addition and stripping code. Added a few sanity checks. Although
2032 highly improbable, due to requiring the reception of a DHCP datagram well
2033 in excess of all known to be used physical MTU limitations, it is possible
2034 this may have been used in a stack overflow security vulnerability. Thanks
2035 to a patch from infamous42md.
2036
2037! Added some sanity checks to OMAPI connection/authentication code.
2038 Although highly improbable, due to having to deliver in excess of 2^32
2039 bytes of data via the OMAPI channel, not to mention requiring dhcpd to
2040 be able to malloc() a memory region 2^32 bytes in size, it was possible
2041 this might have resulted in a heap overflow security vulnerability.
2042 Thanks to a patch from infamous42md.
88cd8aca
DH
2043
2044- dmalloc() memset()'s the non-debug (data) portion of the allocated
2045 memory to zero. Code that memset()'s the result returned by dmalloc() to
2046 zero is redundant. These redundancies were removed.
2047
2048- Some type declaration corrections to u_int16_t were made in common/tr.c
4b97eaff 2049 (Token Ring support) thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
88cd8aca
DH
2050
2051- A failover bug that was allowing leases that EXPIRED or were RELEASED
2052 where tsfp and tstp are identical timestamps to languish in these
2053 transitional states has been repaired. As a side effect, lease
2054 databases should be kept more consistent overall, not just for these
2055 transitional states.
2056
2057- If the lease db is deleted out from under the daemon, and it moves to rewrite
2058 the db, it will go ahead with the operation and move the new db into place
2059 once it detects the old db does not exist.
2060
2061- dhclient now ignores IRDA, SIT, and IEEE1394 network interfaces, as it
2062 is either nonsensical or (in the case of IEEE1394) is not known to support
2063 these interfaces. Thanks to Marius Gedminas and Andrew Pollock of Debian.
2064
2065- Some previously undocumented reasons for dhclient-script invoking has
45d545f0 2066 been documented in the dhclient-script.8 manpage.
88cd8aca
DH
2067
2068- Failover potential expiry calculations (TSTP) have been corrected. Results
2069 should be substantially more consistent, and proper given the constraints.
2070
2071- Adjusted lease state validation checks in potential-conflict, to
2072 account for possible clock skew similarly to normal state, and several
2073 previously illegal transitions were made legal (ex: active->released).
2074
2075- An impossible sanity check was removed from omapi/buffer.c, thanks to a
2076 patch from 'infamous42md'.
2077
2078- An OMAPI host/network byte order problem in lease time values has been
2079 repaired.
2080
2081- Several minor bugs, largely relating to treating 8-byte time values as
2082 4-byte entities, have been repaired after careful review of the FreeBSD
2083 ports collection's patch set. Thanks to the nameless entities who have
2084 contributed to the FreeBSD ports.
2085
2086- When writing a trace file, the file is now created with permissions 0600,
2087 to help administrators avoid accidentally publicising sensitive config
2088 data.

2090- The calculation of the maximum size of DHCP packets no longer includes
2091 Ethernet framing overhead. The result is that the 'Maximum Message
2092 Size' option advertised by clients, or the default value 576, is no
2093 longer reduced by 14 bytes, and instead directly reflects the IP level
2094 MTU (and the default, minimum allowed IP MTU of 576).
2095
2096- The special status of RELEASED/EXPIRED/RESET leases when a server
2097 is operating in partner-down was fixed. It no longer requires a
2098 lease be twice the MCLT beyond STOS to 'reallocate', and the expiry
2099 event to turn these into FREE leases without peer acknowledgement
2100 (after STOS+MCLT) has been repaired.
2101
2102- Compilation on older Solaris systems (lacking /usr/include/sys/int_types.h)
2103 has been repaired.
2104
2105- "append"ing a string onto the end of a "t" type option (such as the
2106 domain-name field) that had been improperly NULL-terminated by the
2107 DHCP server will no longer result in a truncated string containing
2108 only the option from the server, and not the expected appended value.

2110
2111- File handlers on configuration state (config files and lease dbs) should
98bd7ca0 2112 be treated consistently, regardless of whether TRACING is defined or not.
88cd8aca 2113
45d545f0 2114- The Linux build environment has had some minor improvements - better
88cd8aca
DH
2115 sensing of 64-bit pointer sizes (only used for establishing an icmp_id),
2116 and corrections to #if operators regarding LINUX_MAJOR should it ever
2117 move to 3.[01].x.
2118
2119- The server now tries harder to survive the condition where it is unable
2120 to open a new lease file to rewrite the lease state database.

2122 Changes since 3.0.3b3
2123
2124- dhclient.conf documentation for interface {} was updated to reflect recent
2125 discussion on the dhcp-hackers mailing list.
2126
2127- In response to reports that the software does not compile on GCC 4.0.0,
2128 -Werror was removed from Makefile.conf for all platforms that used it.
2129 We will address the true problem in a future release; this is a temporary
2130 workaround.
2131
2132 Changes since 3.0.3b2
2133
2134- An error in code changes introduced in 3.0.3b2 was corrected, which caused
2135 static BOOTP clients to receive random addresses.
2136
2137 Changes since 3.0.3b1
2138
2139- A bug was fixed in BOOTPREQUEST handling code wherein stale references to
2140 host records would be left behind on leases that were not allocated to the
2141 client currently booting (eg in the case where the host was denied booting).
2142
2143- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated to be more clear in regards to
2144 multiple host declarations (thanks to Vincent McIntyre). 'Interim' style
2145 dynamic updates were also retouched.
2146
98311e4b
DH
2147 Changes since 3.0.2
2148
2149- A bug was fixed where a server might load balance a DHCP REQUEST to its
45d545f0 2150 peer after already choosing not to load balance the preceding DISCOVER.
98311e4b
DH
2151 The peer cannot allocate the originating server's lease.
2152
2153- In the case where a secondary server lost its stable storage while the
2154 primary was still in communications-interrupted, and came back online,
2155 the lease databases would not be fully transferred to the secondary.
2156 This was due to the secondary errantly sending an extra UPDREQ message
2157 when the primary made its state transition to PARTNER-DOWN known.
2158
2159- The package will now compile cleanly in gcc 3.3 and 3.4. As a side effect,
2160 lease structures will be 9 bytes smaller on all platforms. Thanks to
4b97eaff 2161 Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
2162
2163- Interface discovery code in DISCOVER_UNCONFIGURED mode is now
2164 properly restricted to only detecting broadcast interfaces. Thanks
4b97eaff 2165 to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
2166
2167- decode_udp_ip_header was changed so that the IP address was copied out
2168 to a variable, rather than referenced by a pointer. This enforces 4-byte
2169 alignment of the 32-bit IP address value. Thanks to a patch from Dr.
2170 Peter Poeml.
2171
2172- An incorrect log message was corrected thanks to a patch from
2173 Dr. Peter Poeml.
2174
2175- A bug in DDNS was repaired, where if the server's first DDNS action was
2176 a DDNS removal rather than a DDNS update, the resolver library's
2177 retransmit timer and retry timer was set to the default, implying a
2178 15 second timeout interval. Which is a little excessive in a synchronous,
2179 single-threaded system. In all cases, ISC DHCP should now hold fast to
2180 a 1-second timeout, trying only once.
2181
2182- The siaddr field was being improperly set to the server-identifier when
2183 responding to DHCP messages. RFC2131 clarified the siaddr field as
2184 meaning the 'next server in the bootstrap process', eg a tftp server.
2185 The siaddr field is now left zeroed unless next-server is configured.
2186
2187- mockup_lease() could have returned in an error condition (or in the
2188 condition where no fixed-address was found matching the shared
2189 network) with stale references to a host record. This is probably not
2190 a memory leak since host records generally never die anyway.
2191
2192- A bug was repaired where failover servers would let stale client identifiers
2193 persist on leases that were reallocated to new clients not sending an id.
2194
2195- Binding scopes ("set var = value;") are now removed from leases allocated
2196 by failover peers if the lease had expired. This should help reduce the
2197 number of stale binding scopes on leases.
2198
2199- A small memory leak was closed involving client identifiers larger than
2200 7 bytes, and failover.
2201
2202- Configuring a subnet in dhcpd.conf with a subnet mask of 32 bits might
2203 cause an internal function to overflow heap. Thanks to Jason Vas Dias
4b97eaff 2204 at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
2205
2206- Some inconsistencies in treating numbers that the lexer parsed as 'NUMBER'
2207 or 'NUMBER_OR_NAME' was repaired. Hexadecimal parsing is affected, and
2208 should work better.
2209
2210- In several cases, parse warnings were being issued before the lexical
2211 token had been advanced to the token whose value was causing an error...
2212 causing parse warnings to claim the problem is on the wrong token.
2213
2214- Host declarations matching on client identifier for dynamic leases will
2215 no longer match fixed-address host declarations (this is now identical
2216 to behaviour for host records matching on hardware address).
2217
2218 Changes since 3.0.2rc3
2219
2220- A previously undocumented configuration directive, 'local-address',
2221 was documented in the dhcpd.conf manpage.
2222
2223 Changes since 3.0.2rc2
2224
45d545f0 2225- Two variables introduced in 3.0.2b1 were used without being initialized
98311e4b
DH
2226 in the case where neither the FILE nor SNAME fields were available for
2227 overloading. This was repaired.
2228
2229- A heretofore believed to be impossible corner case of the option
2230 overloading implementation turned out to be possible ("Unable to sort
2231 overloaded options after 10 tries."). The implementation was reworked
2232 to consider the case of an option so large it would require more than
2233 three chunks to fit.
2234
2235- Many other instances of variables being used without being initialized
2236 were repaired.
2237
2238- An uninitialized variable in omapi_io_destroy() led to the discovery
2239 that this function may result in orphaned pointers (and hence, a memory
2240 leak).
2241
2242 Changes since 3.0.2rc1
2243
2244- allocate_lease() was rewritten to repair a bug in which the server would
2245 try to allocate an ABANDONED lease when FREE leases were available.
2246
2247 Changes since 3.0.2b1
2248
2249- Some dhcp-eval.5 manpage formatting was repaired.
2250
2251 Changes since 3.0.1
2252
2253- A bug was fixed in the server's 'option overloading' implementation,
2254 where options loaded into the 'file' and 'sname' packet fields were
2255 not aligned precisely as rfc2131 dictates.
2256
2257- The FreeBSD client script was changed to support the case where a domain
2258 name was not provided by the server.
2259
2260- A memory leak in 'omshell' per each command line parsed was
2261 repaired, thanks to a patch from Jarkko Torppa.
2262
2263- Log functions writing to stderr were adjusted to use the STDERR_FILENO
2264 system definition rather than '2'. This is a no-op for 90% of platforms.
2265
2266- One call to trace_write_packet_iov() counted the number of io vectors
2267 incorrectly, causing inconsistent tracefiles. This was fixed.
2268
2269- Some expression parse failure memory leaks were closed.
2270
2271- A host byte order problem in tracefiles was repaired.
2272
2273- Pools configured in DHCPD for failover possessing permission lists that
2274 previously were assumed to not include dyanmic bootp clients are now
2275 a little more pessimistic. The result is, dhcpd will nag you about just
2276 about most pools that possess a 'allow' statement with no 'deny' that
2277 would definitely match a dynamic bootp client.
2278
2279- The 'ddns-update-style' configuration warning bit now insists that
2280 the configuration be globally scoped.
2281
2282- Two memory leaks in dhclient were closed thanks to a patch from Felix
2283 Farkas.
2284
2285- Some minor but excellently pedantic documentation errors were fixed
2286 thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
2287
2288- Bugs in operator precedence in executable statements have been repaired
2289 once again. More legal syntaxes should be parsed legally.
2290
2291- Failing to initialize a tracefile for any reason if a tracefile was
2292 specified is now a fatal error. Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
2293
2294- Corrected a bug in which the number of leases transferred as calculated
2295 by the failover primary and sent to peers in POOLRESP responses may be
2296 incorrect. This value is not believed to be used by other failover
2297 implementations, excepting perhaps as logged information.
2298
2299- Corrected a bug in which 'dhcp_failover_send_poolresp()' was in fact
2300 sending POOLREQ messages instead of POOLRESP mesasges. This message
2301 was essentially ignored since failover secondaries effectively do not
2302 respond to POOLREQ messages.
2303
2304- Type definitions for various bitwidths of integers in the sunos5-5
2305 build of ISC DHCP have been fixed. It should compile and run more
2306 easily when built in 64-bit for this platform.
2307
2308- "allow known-clients;" is now a legal syntax, to avoid confusion.
2309
2310- If one dhcp server chooses to 'load balance' a request to its failover
2311 peer, it first checks to see if it believes said peer has a free
2312 lease to allocate before ignoring the DISCOVER.
2313
2314- log() was logging a work buffer, rather than the value returned by
2315 executing the statements configured by the user. In some cases,
2316 the work buffer and the intended results were the same. In some other
2317 cases, they were not. This was fixed thanks to a patch from Gunnar
2318 Fjone and directconnect.no.
2319
2320- Compiler warnings for some string type conversions was fixed, thanks
2321 to Andreas Gustafsson.
2322
2323- The netbsd build environments were simplified to one, in which
2324 -Wconversion is not used, thanks to Andreas Gustafsson.
2325
2326- How randomness in the backoff-cutoff dhclient configuration variable
2327 is implemented was better documented in the manpage, and the behaviour
2328 of dhclient in REQUEST timeout handling was changed to match that of
2329 DISCOVER timeout handling.
2330
2331- Omapi was hardened against clients that pass in null values, thanks
2332 to a patch from Mark Jason Dominus.
2333
2334- A bug was fixed in dhclient that kept it from doing client-side
2335 ddns updates. Thanks to a patch from Andreas Gustafsson, which
2336 underwent some modification after review by Jason Vas Dias.
2337
2338- Failover implementations disconnected due to the network between
2339 them (rather than one of the two shutting down) will now try to
2340 re-establish the failover connection every 5 seconds, rather than
2341 to simply try once and give up until one of them is restarted.
2342 Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from Infoblox, and field testing
2343 by Greger V. Teigre which led to an enhancement to it.
2344
2345- A problem that kept DHCP Failover secondaries from tearing down
2346 ddns records was repaired. Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from
2347 Infoblox.
2348
2349- 64bit pointer sizes are detected properly on FreeBSD now.
2350
2351- A bug was repaired where the DHCP server would leave stale references
2352 to host records on leases it once thought about offering to certain
2353 clients. The result would be to apply host and 'known' scopes to the
2354 wrong clients (possibly denying booting). NOTE: The 'mis-host' patch
2355 that was being circulated as a workaround is not the way this bug was
2356 fixed. If you were a victim of this bug in 3.0.1, you are cautioned
2357 to proceed carefully and see if it fixes your problem.
2358
2359- A bug was repaired in the server's DHCPINFORM handling, where it
2360 tried to divine the client's address from the source packet and
2361 would get it wrong. Thanks to Anshuman Singh Rawat.
2362
2363- A log message was introduced to help illuminate the case where the
2364 server was unable to find a lease to assign to any BOOTP client.
2365 Thanks to Daniel Baker.
2366
2367- A minor dhcpd.conf.5 manpage error was fixed.
2368
2369 Changes since 3.0.1rc14
2370
2371- The global variable 'cur_time' was centralized and is now uniformly of a
2372 type #defined in system-dependent headers. It had previously been defined
2373 in one of many places as a 32-bit value, and this causes mayhem on 64-bit
2374 big endian systems. It probably wasn't too healthy on little endian
2375 systems either.
2376
2377- A printf format string error introduced in rc14 was repaired.
2378
2379- AIX system-dependent header file was altered to only define NO_SNPRINTF
2380 if the condition used to #ifdef in vsnprintf in AIX' header files
2381 is false.
2382
2383- The Alpha/OSF system-dependent header file was altered to define
2384 NO_SNPRINTF on OS revisions older than 4.0G.
2385
2386- omapip/test.c had string.h added to its includes.
2387
2388 Changes since 3.0.1rc13
2389
2390! CAN-2004-0460 - CERT VU#317350: Five stack overflow exploits were closed
2391 in logging messages with excessively long hostnames provided by the
2392 clients. It is highly probable that these could have been used by
2393 attackers to gain arbitrary root access on systems using ISC DHCP 3.0.1
2394 release candidates 12 or 13. Special thanks to Gregory Duchemin for
2395 both finding and solving the problem.
2396
2397! CAN-2004-0461 - CERT VU#654390: Once the above was closed, an opening
45d545f0 2398 in log_*() functions was evidenced, on some specific platforms where
98311e4b
DH
2399 vsnprintf() was not believed to be available and calls were wrapped to
2400 sprintf() instead. Again, credit goes to Gregory Duchemin for finding
2401 the problem. Calls to snprintf() are now linked to a distribution-local
2402 snprintf implementation, only in those cases where the architecture is
2403 not known to provide one (see includes/cf/[arch].h). If you experience
2404 linking problems with snprintf/vsnprintf or 'isc_print_' functions, this
2405 is where to look. This vulnerability did not exist in any previously
2406 published version of ISC DHCP.
2407
2408- Compilation on hpux 11.11 was repaired.
2409
2410- 'The cross-compile bug fix' was backed out.
2411
2412 Changes since 3.0.1rc12
2413
2414- Fixed a bug in omapi lease lookup function, to form the hardware
2415 address for the hash lookup correctly, thanks to a patch from
2416 Richard Hirst.
2417
2418- Fixed a bug where dhcrelay was sending relayed responses back to the
2419 broadcast address, but with the source's unicast mac address. Should
2420 now conform to rfc2131 section 4.1.
2421
2422- Cross-compile bug fix; use $(AR) instead of ar. Thanks to Morten Brorup.
2423
2424- Fixed a crash bug in dhclient where dhcpd servers that do not provide
2425 renewal times results in an FPE. As a side effect, dhclient can now
2426 properly handle 0xFFFFFFFF (-1) expiry times supplied by servers. Thanks
2427 to a patch from Burt Silverman.
2428
2429- The 'ping timeout' debugs from rc12 were removed to -DDEBUG only,
45d545f0 2430 and reformatted to correct a compilation error on Solaris platforms.
98311e4b
DH
2431
2432- A patch was applied which fixes a case where leases read from the
2433 leases database do not properly over-ride previously read leases.
2434
2435- dhcpctl.3 manpage was tweaked.
2436
2437 Changes since 3.0.1rc11
2438
2439- A patch from Steve Campbell was applied with minor modifications to
2440 permit reverse dns PTR record updates with values containing spaces.
2441
2442- A patch from Florian Lohoff was applied with some modifications to
2443 dhcrelay. It now discards packets whose hop count exceeds 10 by default,
2444 and a command-line option (-c) can be used to set this threshold.
2445
2446- A failover bug relating to identifying peers by name length instead of
2447 by name was fixed.
2448
45d545f0 2449- Declaring failover configs within shared-network statements should no
98311e4b
DH
2450 longer result in error.
2451
2452- The -nw command line option to dhclient now works.
2453
2454- Thanks to a patch from Michael Richardson:
2455 - Some problems with long option processing have been fixed.
2456 - Some fixes to minires so that updates of KEY records will work.
2457
2458- contrib/ms2isc was updated by Shu-Min Chang of the Intel Corporation.
2459 see contrib/ms2isc/readme.txt for revision notes.
2460
2461- Dhclient no longer uses shell commands to kill another instance of
2462 itself, it sends the signal directly. Thanks to a patch from Martin
2463 Blapp.
2464
2465- The FreeBSD dhclient-script was changed so that a failure to write to
2466 /etc/resolv.conf does not prematurely end the script. This keeps dhclient
2467 from looping infinitely when this is the case. Thanks to a patch from
2468 Martin Blapp.
2469
2470- A patch from Bill Stephens was applied which resolves a problem with lease
2471 expiry times in failover configurations.
2472
2473- A memory leak in configuration parsing was closed thanks to a patch from
2474 Steve G.
2475
2476- The function which discovers interfaces will now skip non-broadcast or
2477 point-to-point interfaces, thanks to a patch from David Brownlee.
2478
2479- Options not yet known by the dhcpd or dhclient have had their names
2480 changed such that they do not contain # symbols, in case they should ever
2481 appear in a lease file. An option that might have been named "#144" is
2482 now "unknown-144".
2483
2484- Another patch from Bill Stephens which allows the ping-check timeout to
2485 be configured as 'ping-timeout'. Defaults to 1.
2486
2487 Changes since 3.0.1rc10
2488
2489- Potential buffer overflows in minires repaired.
2490
2491- A change to the linux client script to use /bin/bash, since /bin/sh may
2492 not be bash.
2493
2494- Some missing va_end cleanups thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
2495
2496- A correction of boolean parsing syntax validation - some illegal syntaxes
2497 that worked before are now detected and produce errs, some legal syntaxes
2498 that errored before will now work properly.
2499
2500- Some search-and-replace errors that caused some options to change their
2501 names was repaired.
2502
2503- Shu-min Chang of the Intel corporation has contributed a perl script and
2504 module that converts the MS NT4 DHCP configuration to a ISC DHCP3
2505 configuration file.
2506
2507- Applied the remainder of the dhcpctl memory leak patch provided by Bill
2508 Squier at ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
2509
2510- Missing non-optional failover peer configurations will now result in a soft
2511 error rather than a null dereference.
2512
2513 Changes since 3.0.1rc9
2514
2515- A format string was corrected to fix compiler warnings.
2516
2517- A number of spelling corrections were made in the man pages.
2518
2519- The dhclient.conf.5 man page was changed to refer to do-forward-updates
2520 rather than a configuration option that doesn't exist.
2521
2522- A FreeBSD-specific bug in the interface removal handling was fixed.
2523
2524- A Linux-specific Token Ring detection problem was fixed.
2525
2526- Hashes removed from as-yet-unknown agent options, having those options
2527 appear in reality before we know about them will no longer produce
2528 self-corrupting lease databases.
2529
2530- dhclient will use the proper port numbers now when using the -g option.
2531
2532- A order-of-operations bug with 2 match clauses in 1 class statement is
2533 fixed thanks to a patch from Andrew Matheson.
2534
2535- Compilation problems on Solaris were fixed.
2536
2537- Compilation problems when built with DEBUG or DEBUG_PACKET were repaired.
2538
2539- A fix to the dhcp ack process which makes certain group options will be
2540 included in the first DHCPOFFER message was made thanks to a patch from
2541 Ling Gou.
2542
2543- A few memory leaks were repaired thanks to patches from Bill Squier at
2544 ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
2545
2546- A fix for shared-networks that sometimes give clients options for the
2547 wrong subnets (in particular, 'option routers') was applied, thanks to
2548 Ted Lemon for the patch.
2549
2550- Omshell's handling of dotted octets as values was changed such that dots
2551 one after the other produce zero values in the integer string.
2552
2553 Changes since 3.0.1rc8
2554
2555- Fix a format string vulnerability in the server that could lead to a
2556 remote root compromise (discovered by NGSEC Research Team, www.ngsec.com).
2557
2558- Add additional support for NetBSD/sparc64.
2559
2560- Fix a bug in the command-line parsing of the client. Also, resolve
2561 a memory leak.
2562
2563- Add better support for shells other than bash in the Linux client
2564 script.
2565
2566- Various build fixes for modern versions of FreeBSD and Linux.
2567
2568- Fix a bad bounds check when printing binding state names.
2569
2570- Clarify documentation about fixed-address and multiple addresses.
2571
2572- Fix a typo in the authoritative error message.
2573
2574- Make a log entry when we can't write a billing class.
2575
2576- Use conversion targets that are the right size on all architectures.
2577
2578- Increment the hop count when relaying.
2579
2580- Log a message when lease state is changed through OMAPI.
2581
2582- Don't rerun the shared_network when evaluating the pool.
2583
2584- Fix a reversed test in the parser.
2585
2586- Change the type of rbuf_max.
2587
2588- Make FTS_LAST a manifest constant to quiet warnings.
2589
2590 Changes since 3.0.1rc7
2591
2592- Fix two compiler warnings that are generated when compiling on Solaris
2593 with gcc. These stop the build, even though they weren't actually
2594 errors, because we prefer that our builds generate no warnings.
2595
2596 Changes since 3.0.1rc6
2597
2598- Don't allow a lease that's in the EXPIRED, RELEASED or RESET state
2599 to be renewed.
2600
2601- Implement lease stealing for cases where the primary has fewer leases
2602 than the secondary, as called for by the standard.
2603
2604- Add a fudge factor to the lease expiry acceptance code, (suggested
2605 by Kevin Miller of CMU).
2606
2607- Fix a bug in permit_list_match that made it much too willing to say
2608 that two permit lists matched.
2609
2610- Unless DEBUG_DNS_UPDATES is defined, print more user-friendly (and
2611 also more compact) messages about DNS updates.
2612
2613- Fix a bug in generating wire-format domain names for the FQDN option.
2614
2615- Fix a bug where the FQDN option would not be returned if the client
2616 requested it, contrary to the standard.
2617
2618- On Darwin, use the FreeBSD DHCP client script.
2619
2620- On NetBSD/sparc, don't check for casting warnings.
2621
2622- Add a flag in the DHCP client to disable updating the client's A
2623 record when sending an FQDN option indicating that the client is
2624 going to update its A record.
2625
2626- In the client, don't attempt a DNS update until one second after
2627 configuring the new IP address, and if the update times out, keep
2628 trying until a response, positive or negative, is received from the
2629 DNS server.
2630
2631- Fix an uninitialized memory bug in the DHCP client.
2632
2633- Apply some FreeBSD-specific bug fixes suggested by Murray Stokely.
2634
2635- Fix a bug in ns_parserr(), where it was returning the wrong sort
2636 of result code in some cases (suggested by Ben Harris of the
2637 NetBSD project).
2638
2639- Fix a bug in is_identifier(), where it was checking against EOF
2640 instead of the END_OF_FILE token (also suggested by Ben Harris).
2641
2642- Fix a bug where if an option universe contained no options, the
2643 DHCP server could dump core (Walter Steiner).
2644
2645- Fix a bug in the handling of encapsulated options.
2646
2647- Fix a bug that prevented NWIP suboptions from being processed.
2648
2649- Delete the FTS_BOOTP and FTS_RESERVED states and implement them
2650 as modifier flags to the FTS_ACTIVE state, as called for in the
2651 failover protocol standard.
2652
2653- Fix bugs in the pool merging code that resulted in references and
2654 dereferences of null pointers. This bug had no impact unless the
2655 POINTER_DEBUG flag was defined.
2656
2657- In the server, added a do-forward-updates flag that can be used to
2658 disable forward updates in all cases, so that sites that want the
2659 clients to take sole responsibility for updating their A record can
2660 do so.
2661
2662- Make it possible to disable optimization of PTR record updates.
2663
2664 Changes since 3.0.1rc5
2665
2666- Include some new documentation and changes provided by Karl Auer.
2667
2668- Add a workaround for some Lexmark printers that send a double-NUL-
2669 terminated host-name option, which would break DNS updates.
2670
2671- Fix an off-by-one error in the MAC-address checking code for
2672 DHCPRELEASE that was added in 3.0.1rc5.
2673
2674- Fix a bug where client-specific information was not being discarded
2675 from the lease when it expired or was released, resulting in
2676 problems if the lease was reallocated to a different client.
2677
2678- If more than one allocation pool is specified that has the same set
2679 of constraints as another allocation pool on the same shared
2680 network, merge the two pools.
2681
2682- Don't print an error in fallback_discard, since this just causes
2683 confusion and does not appear to be helping to encourage anyone to
2684 fix this bug.
2685
2686 Changes since 3.0.1rc4
2687
2688- Fix a bug that would cause the DHCP server to spin if asked to parse
2689 a certain kind of incorrect statement.
2690
2691- Fix a related bug that would prevent an error from being reported in
2692 the same case.
2693
2694- Additional documentation.
2695
2696- Make sure that the hardware address matches the lease when
2697 processing a DHCPRELEASE message.
2698
2699 Changes since 3.0.1rc3
2700
2701- A minor bug fix in the arguments to a logging function call.
2702- Documentation update for dhcpd.conf.
2703
adbef119 2704 Changes since 3.0.1rc2
98311e4b
DH
2705
2706- Allow the primary to send a POOLREQ message. This isn't what the current
2707 failover draft says to do, so we may have to back it out if I can't get the
2708 authors to relent, but the scheme for balancing that's specified in the
2709 current draft seems needlessly hairy, so I'm floating a trial balloon.
2710 The rc1 code did not implement the method described in the draft either.
2711
adbef119 2712 Changes since 3.0.1rc1
98311e4b
DH
2713
2714- Treat NXDOMAIN and NXRRSET as success when we are trying to delete a
2715 domain or RRSET. This allows the DHCP server to forget about a name
2716 it added to the DNS once it's been removed, even if the DHCP server
2717 wasn't the one that removed it.
2718
2719- Install defaults for failover maximum outstanding updates and maximum
2720 silent time. This prevents problems that might occur if these values
2721 were not configured.
2722
2723- Don't do DDNS deletes if ddns-update-style is none.
2724
2725- Return relay agent information options in DHCPNAK. This prevents DHCPNAK
2726 messages from being dropped when the relay agent information option contains
2727 routing information.
2728
2729- Fix a problem where coming up in recover wouldn't result in an update
2730 request being sent.
2731
2732- Add some more chatty messages when we start a recovery update and when it's
2733 done.
2734
2735- Fix a possible problem where some state might have been left around
2736 after the peer lost contact and regained contact about how many updates
2737 were pending.
2738
2739- Don't nix a lease update because of a lease conflict. This test has
2740 never (as far as I know) prevented a mistake, and it appears to cause
2741 problems with failover.
2742
2743- Add support in rc history code for keeping a selective history, rather
2744 than a history of all references and dereferences. This code is only used
2745 when extensive additional debugging is enabled.
2746
adbef119 2747 Changes since 3.0
98311e4b
DH
2748
2749- Make allocators for hash tables. As a side effect, this fixes a memory
2750 smash in the subclass allocation code.
2751
2752- Fix a small bug in omshell where if you try to close an object when
2753 no object is open, it dumps core.
2754
2755- Fix an obscure coredump that could occur on shutdown.
2756
2757- Fix a bug in the recording of host declaration rubouts in the lease file.
2758
2759- Fix two potential spins in the host deletion code.
2760
2761- Fix a core dump that would happen if an application tried to update
2762 a host object attribute with a null value.
2763
2764 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 12
2765
2766- Fix a memory leak in the evaluation code.
2767
2768- Fix an obscure core dump.
2769
2770- Print a couple of new warnings when parsing the configuration file
2771 when crucial information is left out.
2772
2773- Log "no free leases" as an error.
2774
2775- Documentation updates.
2776
2777 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 11
2778
2779- Always return a subnet selection option if one is sent.
2780
2781- Fix a warning that was being printed because an automatic data
2782 structure wasn't zeroed.
2783
2784- Fix some failover state transitions that were being handled
2785 incorrectly.
2786
2787- When supersede_lease is called on a lease whose end time has already
2788 expired, but for which a state transition has not yet been done, do
2789 a state transition. This fixes the case where if the secondary
2790 allocated a lease to a client and the lease "expired" while the
2791 secondary was in partner-down, no expiry event would actually
2792 happen, so the lease would remain active until the primary was
2793 restarted.
2794
2795 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 10
2796
2797- Fix a bug that was preventing released leases from changing state
2798 in failover-enabled pools.
2799
2800- Fix a core dump in the client identifier finder code (for host
2801 declarations).
2802
2803- Finish fixing a bug where bogus data would sometimes get logged to
2804 the dhclient.leases file because it was opened as descriptor 2.
2805
2806- Fix the Linux dhclient-script according to suggestions made by
2807 several people on the dhcp-client mailing list.
2808
2809- Log successful DNS updates at LOG_INFO, not LOG_ERROR.
2810
2811- Print an error message and refuse to run if a failover peer is
2812 defined but not referenced by any pools.
2813
2814- Correct a confusing error message in failover.
2815
eaf0b302

2822- Fix a bug that prevented update-static-leases from working.
2823
2824- Document failover-state OMAPI object.
2825

2827
d758ad8c
TL
2828 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8 Patchlevel 1
2829
2830- Fix a parsing bug that broke dns updates (both interim and ad-hoc).
2831 This was introduced in rc8pl1 as an unintended result of the memory
2832 leakage fixes that were in pl1.
2833
2834- Fix a long-standing bug where the server would record that an update
2835 had been done for a client with no name, even though no update had
2836 been done, and then when the client's lease expired the deletion of
2837 that nonexistant record would time out because the name was the null
2838 string.
2839
2840- Clean up the omshell, dhcpctl and omapi man pages a bit.
2841
d758ad8c
TL
2842 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8
2843
2844- Fix a bug that could cause the DHCP server to spin if
2845 one-lease-per-client was enabled.
2846
2847- Fix a bug that was causing core dumps on BSD/os in the presence of
2848 malformed packets.
2849
2850- In partner-down state, don't restrict lease lengths to MCLT.
2851
2852- On the failover secondary, record the MCLT received from the primary
2853 so that if we come up without a connection to the primary we don't
2854 wind up giving out zero-length leases.
2855
2856- Fix some compilation problems on BSD/os.
2857
2858- Fix a bunch of memory leaks.
2859
2860- Fix a couple of bugs in the option printer.
2861
2862- Fix an obscure error reporting bug in the dns update code, and also
2863 make the message clearer when a key algorithm isn't supported.
2864
2865- Fix a bug in the tracing code that prevented trace runs that used
2866 tcp connections from being played back.
2867
2868- Add some additional debugging capability for catching memory leaks
2869 on exit.
2870
2871- Make the client release the lease correctly on shutdown.
2872
2873- Add some configurability to the build system.
2874
2875- Install omshell manual page in man1, not man8.
2876
2877- Craig Gwydir sent in a patch that fixes a long-standing bug in the
2878 DHCP client that could cause core dumps, but that for some reason
2879 hadn't been noticed until now.
2880
2881 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 7
2882
2883- Fix a bug in failover where we weren't sending updates after a
2884 transition from communications-interrupted to normal.
2885
2886- Handle expired/released/reset -> free transition according to the
2887 protocol specification (this works - the other way not only wasn't
2888 conformant, but also didn't work).
2889
2890- Add a control object in both client and server that allows either
2891 daemon to be shut down cleanly.
2892
2893- When writing a lease, if we run out of disk space, shut down the
2894 output file and insist on writing a new one before proceeding.
2895
2896- In the server, if the OMAPI listener port is occupied, keep trying
2897 to get it, rather than simply giving up and exiting.
2898
2899- Support fetching variables from leases and also updating and adding
2900 variables to leases via OMAPI.
2901
2902- If two failover peers have wildly different clocks, refuse to start
2903 doing failover.
2904
2905- Fix a bug in the DNS update code that could cause core dumps when
2906 running on alpha processors.
2907
2908- Fixed a bug in ddns updates for static lease entries, thanks to a
2909 patch from Andrey M Linkevitch.
2910
2911- Add support for Darwin/MacOS X
2912
2913- Install omshell (including new documentation).
2914
2915- Support DNS updates in the client (this is a very obscure feature
2916 that most DHCP client users probably will not be able to use).
2917
2918- Somewhat cleaner status logging in the client.
2919
2920- Make OMAPI key naming syntax compatible with the way keys are
2921 actually named (key names are domain names).
2922
2923- Fix a bug in the lease file writer.
2924
2925- Install DHCP ISC headers in a different place than BIND 9 ISC
2926 headers, to avoid causing trouble in BIND 9 builds.
2927
2928- Don't send updates for attributes on an object when the attributes
2929 haven't changed. Support deleting attributes on remote objects.
2930
2931- Fix a number of bugs in omshell, and add the unset and refresh
2932 statements.
2933
2934- Handle disconnects in OMAPI a little bit more intelligently (so that
2935 the caller gets ECONNRESET instead of EINVAL).
2936
2937- Fix a bunch of bugs in the handling of clients that have existing
2938 leases when the try to renew their leases while failover is
2939 operating.
2940
eaf0b302
TL
2941 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 6
2942
2943- Fix a core dump that could happen when processing a DHCPREQUEST from
2944 a client that had a host declaration that contained both a
2945 fixed-address declaration and a dhcp-client-identifier option
2946 declaration, if the client identifier was longer than nine bytes.
2947
2948- Fix a memory leak that could happen in certain obscure cases when
2949 using omapi to manipulate leases.
2950
2951- Fix some bugs and omissions in omshell.
2952
eaf0b302
TL
2953 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 5
2954
2955- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that prevented objects in
2956 chains from having their reference counts decreased on dereference.
2957
2958- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that would prevent object
2959 chains from being freed upon removal of the last reference external
2960 to the chain.
2961
2962- Fix a number of other memory leaks in the OMAPI protocol subsystem.
2963
2964- Add code in the OMAPI protocol handler to trace memory leakage.
2965
2966- Clean up the memory allocation/reference history printer.
2967
98311e4b 2968- Support input of dotted quads and colon-separated hex lists as
eaf0b302
TL
2969 attribute values in omshell.

98311e4b 2971- Fix a typo in the Linux interface discovery code.
eaf0b302
TL
2972
2973- Conditionalize a piece of trace code that wasn't conditional.
2974
2975 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 4
2976
2977- Fix a bug that would prevent leases from being abandoned properly on
2978 DHCPDECLINE.
2979
2980- Fix failover peer OMAPI support.
2981
2982- In failover, correctly handle expiration of leases. Previously,
2983 leases would never be reclaimed because they couldn't make the
2984 transition from EXPIRED to FREE.
2985
2986- Fix some broken failover state transitions.
2987
2988- Documentation fixes.
2989
2990- Take out an unnecessary check in DHCP relay agent information option
2991 stashing code that was preventing REBINDING clients from rebinding.
2992
2993- Prevent failover peers from allocating leases in DHCPREQUEST
2994 processing if the lease belongs to the other server.
2995
2996- Record server version in lease file introductory comment.
2997
2998- Correctly report connection errors in OMAPI and failover.
2999
3000- Make authentication signature algorithm name comparisons in OMAPI
3001 case-insensitive.
3002
3003- Fix compile problem on SunOS 4.x
3004
98311e4b 3005- If a signature algorithm is not terminated with '.', terminate it so
eaf0b302
TL
3006 that comparisons between fully-qualified names will work
3007 consistently.
3008
3009- Different SIOCGIFCONF probe code, may "fix" problem on some Linux
3010 systems with the probe not working correctly.
3011
3012- Don't allow user to type omapi key on command line of omshell.

TL
3014 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 3
3015
3016- Do lease billing on startup in a way that I *think* will finally do
3017 the billing correctly - the previous method could overbill as a
3018 result of duplicate leases.

3024- Fix some problems in the DDNS update code. Thanks to Albert
3025 Herranz for figuring out the main problem.
3026
3027- Fix some reference counting errors on host entries that were causing
3028 core dumps.
3029
3030- Fix a byte-swap bug in the token ring code, thanks to Jochen
3031 Friedrich.
3032
3033- Fix a bug in lease billing, thanks to Jonas Bulow.
3034
3035 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 2
3036
3037- Change the conditions under which a DHCPRELEASE is actually
3038 committed to be consistent with lease binding states rather than
98311e4b 3039 using the lease end time. This may fix some problems with the
892fe689
TL
3040 billing class code.
3041
3042- Fix a bug where lease updates would fail on Digital Unix (and maybe
3043 others) because malloc was called with a size of zero.
3044
3045- Fix a core dump that happens when the DHCP server can't create its
3046 trace file.
3047
79ea3de8 3048 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 1 Patchlevel 1
87784777 3049
79ea3de8
TL
3050- Fix the dhcp_failover_put_message to not attempt to allocate a
3051 zero-length buffer. Some versions of malloc() fail if you try to
3052 allocate a zero-length buffer, and this was causing problems on,
3053 e.g., Digital Unix.
3054
3055- Fix a case where the failover code was printing an error message
3056 when no error had occurred.
3057
3058- Fix a problem where when a server went down and back up again, the
3059 peer would not see a state transition and so would stay in the
3060 non-communicating state.
3061
3062- Be smart about going into recover_wait.
3063
3064- Fix a problem in the failover implementation where peers would fail
3065 to come into sync if interrupted in the RECOVER state. This could
3066 have been the cause of some problems people have reported recently.
3067
3068- Fix a problem with billing classes where they would not be unbilled
3069 when the client lease expired.
3070
3071- If select fails, figure out which descriptor is bad, and cut it out
3072 of the I/O loop. This prevents a potentially nasty spin. I
3073 haven't heard any report it in a while, but it came up consistently
3074 in testing.
3075
3076- Fix a bug in the relay agent where if you specified interfaces on
3077 the command line, it would fail.
3078
3079- Fix a couple of small bugs in the omapi connection object (no known
3080 user impact).
3081
3082- Add the missing 3.0 Beta 1 lease conversion script.
3083
3084- Read dhcp client script hooks if they exist, rather than only if
3085 they're executable.

3090 ANY SITE AT WHICH FIXED-ADDRESS STATEMENTS ARE BEING USED SHOULD

3092 Alvise Nobile for discovering it and helping me to find it!

3095 Transmeta.

TL
3097- There is a known problem with the DHCP server doing failover on
3098 Compaq Alpha systems. This patchlevel is not a release candidate
3099 because of this bug. The bug should be straightforward to fix, so
3100 a new release candidate is expected shortly.

3108 work, so that failover should now much less fragile.

3111
3112- Fix compile errors when compiling with unusual predefines.

3126- Fix a bug in the DNS update code where a status code was not being
3127 checked. This may have been causing core dumps.
3128
3129- When parsing the lease file, if a lease declaration includes a
3130 billing class statement, and the lease already has a billing class,
3131 unbill the old class.
3132
3133- When processing failover transactions, where acks will be deferred,
3134 process the state transition immediately.
3135
3136- Don't try to use the new SIOCGIFCONF buffer size detection code on
3137 Linux 2.0, which doesn't provide this functionality.

3143- Fix a parse error in the client when setting up an omapi listener.
3144
3145- Document the -n and -g flags to the client.
3146
3147- Make sure there is always a stdin and stdout on startup. This
3148 prevents shell scripts from accidentally writing error messages into
3149 configuration files that happen to be opened as stderr.
3150
3151- If an interface is removed, the client will now notice that it is
3152 gone rather than spinning. This has only been tested on NetBSD.
3153
3154- The client will attempt to get an address even if it can't create a
3155 lease file.

3203 server (in theory). (Damien Neil)
3204
3205- Fix a case where if a client had two different leases the server could
3206 actually dereference the second one when it hadn't been referenced,
3207 leading to memory corruption and a core dump. (James Brister)
3208
3209- Fix a case where a client could request the address of another client's
3210 lease, but find_lease wouldn't detect that the other client had it, and
3211 would attempt to allocate it to the client, resulting in a lease conflict
3212 message.
3213
3214- Fix a case where a client with more than one client identifier could be
3215 given a lease where the hardware address was correct but the client
3216 identifier was not, resulting in a lease conflict message.
3217
98311e4b 3218- Fix a problem where the server could write out a colon-separated
3350f5b7
TL
3219 hex list as a value for a variable, which would then not parse.
3220 The fix is to always write strings as quoted strings, with any
3221 non-printable characters quoted as octal escape sequences. So
3222 a file written the old way still won't work, but new files written
3223 this way will work.

3228 break any configuration files that use the option-nnn convention.
3229 If you want to continue to use this convention for some options,
3230 please be sure to write a definition, like this:

3237 DHCPREQUEST/DHCPACK/DHCPREQUEST/DHCPNAK sequence. This was the
3238 result of a deceptively silly bug in supersede_lease.

3253- Add support for transaction tracing. This allows the state of the
3254 DHCP server on startup, and all the subsequent transactions, to be
3255 recorded in a file which can then be played back to reproduce the
3256 behaviour of the DHCP server. This can be used to quickly
3257 reproduce bugs that cause core dumps or corruption, and also for
3258 tracking down memory leaks.
3259
3260- Incorporate some bug fixes provided by Joost Mulders for the DLPI
3261 package which should clear up problems people have been seeing on
3262 Solaris.
3263
3264- Fix bugs in the handling of options stored as linked lists (agent
3265 options, fqdn options and nwip options) that could cause memory
3266 corruption and core dumps.

3315 was causing core dumps and failing to operate correctly - in
3316 particular, agent option stashing wasn't working. Agent option
3317 stashing should now be working, meaning that agent options can be
3318 used in class statements to control address allocation.
3319

3330 transmitting packets to the server. Handy for debugging; not much
3331 practical use otherwise.

3342- Work around the Win98 DHCP client, which NUL-terminates the FQDN
3343 option.

3345- Work around Win98 and Win2k clients that will claim they want to do
3346 the update even when they don't have any way to do it.
3347
3348- Fix some log messages that can be printed when failover is operating
3349 that were not printing enough information.
3350
3351- It was possible for a DHCPDISCOVER to get an allocation even when
3352 the state machine said the server shouldn't be responding.
3353
3354- Don't load balance DHCPREQUESTs from clients in RENEWING and
3355 REBINDING, since in RENEWING, if we heard it, it's for us, and in
3356 REBINDING, the client wouldn't have got to REBINDING if its primary
3357 were answering.

3371 representation from working correctly.
3372
3373- Thanks to Chris Cheney and Michael Sanders, we have a fix for the
3374 hang that they both spotted in the DHCP server - when
3375 one-lease-per-client was set, the code to release the "other" lease
3376 could spin.
3377
3378- Fix a problem with alignment of the input buffer in bpf in cases
3379 where two packets arrive in the same bpf read.
3380
3381- Fix a problem where the relay agent would crash if you specified an
3382 interface name on the command line.
3383
3384- Add the ability to conditionalize client behaviour based on the
3385 client state.
3386
3387- Add support for the FQDN option, and added support for a new way of
3388 doing ddns updates (ddns update style interim) that allows more than
3389 one DHCP server to update the DNS for the same network(s). This
3390 was implemented by Damien Neil with some additional functionality
3391 added by Ted Lemon.
3392
3393- Damien added a "log" statement, so that the configuration file can
3394 be made to log debugging information and other information.
3395
3396- Fixed a bug that caused option buffers not to be terminated with an
3397 end option.
3398
3399- Fixed a long-standing bug in the support for option spaces where the
3400 options are stored as an ordered list rather than in a hash table,
3401 which could theoretically result in memory pool corruption.
3402
3403- Prevent hardware declarations with no actual hardware address from
3404 being written as something unparsable, and behave correctly in the
3405 face of a null hardware address on input.
3406
3407- Allow key names to be FQDNs, and qualify the algorithm name if it is
3408 specified unqualified.

3411 failed" message, but instead says *why* the resolver failed.

3414 RFC.

3476- Fix a possible DoS attack where a client could cause the checksummer
3477 to dump core. This was a read, not a write, so it shouldn't be
3478 possible to exploit it any further than that.
3479
3480- Implement client- and server-side support for using the Client FQDN
3481 option.
3482
3483- Support for other option spaces in the client has been added. This
3484 means that it is now possible to define a vendor option space on the
3485 client, request options in that space from the server (which must
3486 define the same option space), and then use those options in the
3487 client. This also allows NWIP and Client FQDN options to be used
3488 meaningfully.
3489
3490- Add object initializer support. This means that objects can now be
3491 initialized to something other than all-zeros when allocated, which
3492 makes, e.g., the interface object support code a little more robust.
3493
3494- Fix an off-by-one bug in the host stuffer. This was causing host
