5ddbe8e4 7 NEW FEATURES
16449d9c 8
5ade3c84 9The major "theme" for ISC DHCP 4.3.x was to update the support for
324257e3
SR
10DHCPv6 to include several of the features that have been available
11for DHCPv4. These include:
37ec5845 12
324257e3
SR
13- Support the use of classes
14
15- Support for on_commit, on_expiry and on_release statements
16
4809ef5c 17- Better logging of address assignments
324257e3
SR
18
19- Support for using DHCPv6 relay options in expressions
20
21This release also adds suppport for the standard DDNS as described in the
22current RFCs as well as enhancing support for dynamically adding and removing
23subclasses via OMAPI.

25There are a number of DHCPv6 limitations and features missing in this
26release, which will be addressed in the future:
98bd7ca0 27
01a54c17 28- Only Solaris, Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD are supported.
3a16098f 29
adbef119
DH
30- DHCPv6 includes human-readable text in status code messages, in
31 English. A method to reconfigure or support other languages would
80778e94 32 be preferable.
98bd7ca0
DH
33
34- The "host-identifier" option is limited to a simple token.
35
98bd7ca0 36- The client and server can only operate DHCPv4 or DHCPv6 at a time,
45d545f0 37 not both. To use both protocols simultaneously, two instances of the
6de1f33e 38 relevant daemon are required, one with the '-6' command line option.

55 Changes since 4.3.3
56
555093da
TM
57- Corrected a static analyzer warning in common/execute.c
58 [ISC-Bugs #40374]
e82906fc 59
555093da
TM
60- ISC DHCP now follows the common convention to use the base name a
61 program is invoked with (aka argv[0], vs. a builtin name) for
62 logs. This should help differentiate syslog entires for DHCPv4 and
63 DHCPv6 servers. You can define OLD_LOG_NAME in includes/site.h to
64 keep the previous behavior.
65 [ISC-Bugs #38692]
20931f53 66
555093da
TM
67- The linux packet filter code now correctly treats only least significant
68 12 bits an inbound packet's TCI value as the VLAN id (per IEEE 802.1Q).
69 Prior to this it was using the entire 16 bit value as the VLAN id and
70 incorrectly discarding packets. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for
71 reporting this issue and supplying its patch.
72 [ISC-Bugs #40591]
5cc6f201 73
e8e6768a
TM
74- Fixed several issues static analysis issues such as potential null
75 references, unchecked strdup returns. Thanks to Bill Parker (wp02855 at
76 gmail dot com) who identified these issues and supplied patches to
77 address them.
88c3ff5d 78 [ISC-Bugs #40754]
e8e6768a 79 [ISC-Bugs #40823]
88c3ff5d 80
555093da
TM
81- Corrected compilation errors that prohibited building the server
82 and its ATF unit tests when failover is disabled.
83 [ISC-Bugs #40372]
f10cbbfa 84
555093da
TM
85- Added the lease address to the end of the debug level log message
86 emitted when an existing lease is renewed within the dhcp-cache-threshold.
87 Thanks to Nathan Neulinger at Missouri S&T for suggesting the change.
88 [ISC-Bugs #40598]
5fc79cfd 89
555093da
TM
90- Added dhcpv6 and delayed-ack to settings listed in the "Features:"
91 section of the configure script output. Additionally, all of the
92 features reported on will now always show either a "yes" or "no"
93 value. Prior to this features left to their default setting would
94 not show a value.
95 [ISC-Bugs #40381]
96
97- Added a parameter, authoring-byte-order, to the lease file. This value
98 is automatically added to the top of new lease files by the server and
99 indicates the internal byte order (big endian or little endian) of the
100 server. This permits lease files generated on a server with one form of
101 byte order to be used on a server with the opposite form. Our thanks to
102 Timothe Litt for calling this to our attention and for the suggestions
103 he provided.
104 [ISC-Bugs #38396]
646acb59 105
d1d1da8f 106- Fixed a small memory leak in the DHCPv6 version of the client code.
18ba0ff3
SR
107 This is unlikely to cause significant issues in actual use.
108 [ISC-Bugs #40990]
109
ce29e695
TM
110- Corrected a few minor memory leaks in omapi's dereferencing of
111 host objects. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for reporting
112 the issue and supplying the patches.
113 [ISC-Bugs #33990]
75ab52e1 114 [ISC-Bugs #41325]
ce29e695 115
d1d1da8f
FD
116- Cleaned up some of the Make infrastructure to make --with-libbind
117 work better. Though it still only works with an absolute path.
118 [ISC-Bugs #39210]
119
120- Made the embedded bind libraries able to be cross compiled
121 (please refer to the bind9 documentation to learn how to cross
122 compile DHCP and its bind library dependency).
123 [ISC-Bugs #38836]
124
c88dfebd
SR
125- Update the client code to better support getting IA_NAs and IA_PDs
126 in the same packet, see RFC7550 for some discussion.
127 [ISC-Bugs #40190]
128
b7311aae 129- Update the bounds checking when receiving a packet.
4ce21cb6
SR
130 Thanks to Sebastian Poehn from Sophos for the bug report and a suggested
131 patch.
132 [ISC-Bugs #41267]
825c459c 133 CVE: CVE-2015-8605
4ce21cb6 134
b2cb745b
SR
135- When handling an incorrect command line for dhcpd, dhclient or dhcrelay
136 print out a specific error message about the first error in addition
137 to the usage string. This may be disabled by editing includes/site.h.
138 [ISC-Bugs #40321]
eda1d0aa 139 [ISC-Bugs #41454]
b2cb745b 140
cacce092
TM
141- The configure script will now exit with an error message if it cannot find
142 a GNU-style make tool (needed when building BIND libraries) or pkg-config
143 (needed to locate ATF used for building unit tests). Prior to this the
144 script would exit indicating success causing subsequent attempts to build
145 the software to fail.
146 [ISC-Bugs #40371]
147
4ced250f
SR
148- Properly terminate strings before passing them to regex and fix
149 a boudnary error when creating certain new data strings.
150 Thanks to Andrey Jr. Melnikov for the bug report.
151 [ISC-Bugs #41217]
152
a3471269
TM
153- Option expressions, such as prepend and append, are now supported when
154 running dhclient for IPv6. Prior to this such statements in the
155 client configuration file would be parsed but have no affect. Thanks
156 to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for reporting the issue.
157 [ISC-Bugs #39952]
158
3e3b5257
TM
159- A failover primary server will now accept a binding status update from the
160 secondary which transitions a lease from ACTIVE to ABANDONED. This accounts
161 for instances in which a client declines a lease and only the secondary
162 server receives it. Prior to this the primary server would reject such an
163 update as an "invalid state transition".
fd1ba363 164 [ISC_BUGS #25189]
3e3b5257 165
ba4c704d
SR
166- Properly allocate memory for a bpf filter.
167 Thanks to Bill Parker (wp02855 at gmail dot com) who identified this issue.
168 [ISC-Bugs #41485]
169
b1eea858
SR
170- Updated contrib/dhcp-lease-list.pl to handle garbage in the oui file better
171 and to print out the hostnames a bit better.
0958dea4 172 Thanks to Antoine Beaupré from Debian for the suggested patch.
b1eea858
SR
173 [ISC-Bugs #41288]
174
36c4a037
SR
175- The DHCPv6 server now handles long valid and preferred lease times better.
176 Values that would cause the internal end time of the lease to wrap are
177 modified to work as infinite.
178 [ISC-Bugs #40773]
179
41b5a1a6
FD
180- Updated support for cross compiling by allowing the library archiver
181 to be set at configure time via the environment variable 'AR'.
182 [ISC-Bugs #41536]
183
62a9eb91
TM
184- The server will now match DHCPv6 relayed clients to host declarations
185 which include the "hardware" statement, if the relay connected to the
186 client supplies the client's hardware address via client-linklayer-address
187 option as per RFC 6939.
188 [ISC-Bugs #40334]
189
b7311aae
FD
190- Allow a filename to be specified instead of /dev/random during
191 configuration. This is passed to the BIND configuration to allow
192 for cross compilation.
193 [ISC-Bugs #33835]
194
1bfdeaae
SR
195- Add more option definitions.
196 [ISC-Bugs #40562]
197
1d3fc4d0
SR
198- Correct outputting of long lines in the lease file when writing
199 a lease that includes long strings in an execute statement.
200 [ISC-Bugs #40994]
201
68b5d395
TM
202- The server will now correctly treat a lease as reserved when the client
203 requests an infinite lease time (i.e. OxFFFFFFFF) and "infinite-is-reserved"
204 is enabled. Prior to this the server would halt. In addition, corrections
205 were made to the server to allow a lease's flags field to be set via omapi.
206 Prior to this, the server, depending on the host architecture, would
207 incorrectly parse the new flags value from the omapi message.
208 [ISC-Bugs #31179]
209
7da1ac2b 210 Changes since 4.3.3b1
ba4c704d 211
5fc79cfd
TM
212- None
213
b31fe1d5
TM
214 Changes since 4.3.2
215
bc549dd9
SR
216- The server now does a better check to see if it can allocate the memory
217 for large blocks of v4 leases and should provide a slightly better error
218 message. Note well: the server pre-allocates v4 addresses, if you use
219 a large range, such as a /8, the server will attempt to use a large
220 amount of memory and may not start if there either isn't enough memory
221 or the size exceeds what the code supports.
222 [ISC-Bugs #38637]
223
b31fe1d5
TM
224- The server will now reject unicast Request, Renew, Decline, and Release
225 messages from a client unless the server would have sent that client the
226 dhcp6.unicast option. This behavior is in compliance with paragraph 1 in
227 each of the sections 18.2,1, 18.2.3, 18.2.6, and 18.2.7 of RFC 3315. Prior
228 to this, the server would simply accept the messages. Now, in order for
229 the server to accept such a message, the server configuration must include
230 the dhcp6.unicast option either globally or within the shared network to
231 which the requested lease belongs. In other words, the server will map
232 the first IA_XX address found within the client message to a shared-network
233 and look for the presence of the unicast option there and then globally.
ba21bb1b
TM
234 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for this issue and his patch which
235 inspired the fix.
b31fe1d5 236 [ISC-Bugs #21235]
c2419dca 237
20c0fdc7
SR
238- The ATF (Automated Testing Framework) tools used for optional unit tests
239 can now be built from its embedded sources in bind, solving the
240 atf-run / atf-report issue with recent (>= 0.20) versions of ATF.
241 The new configuration option is "./configure --with-atf=bind".
1b245c91 242 [ISC-Bugs #38754, #39300]
20c0fdc7 243
1c0b7d66
SR
244- Corrected a compilation error introduced by the fix for ISC-Bugs #22806.
245 On older linuxes that do not include the tpacket_auxdata structure don't
246 bother allocating the cmsgbuf as it isn't necessary and we don't have
247 a proper length for it.
248 [ISC-Bugs #39209]
249
da88d34b
SR
250- Remove the dst directory. This was replaced in 4.2.0 with the dst
251 code from the Bind libraries but we continued to include it for
252 backwards compatibility. As we have now released 4.3.x it seems
253 reasonable to remove it.
254 [ISC-Buts #39019]
255
90a062fb 256- Write out the DUID server id on startup in all cases, previously if it
cacce092 257 was read in from server-duid option in the config or lease files for
90a062fb
SR
258 DHCPv4 it would not be written to the new lease file.
259 [ISC-Bugs #37791]
260
90fdd337
SR
261- When parsing dates for leases convert dates past 2038 to "never".
262 This avoids problems with integer overflows in the date and time
263 handling code for people that decide to use very large lease times
264 or add a lease entry with a date far in the future.
265 [ISC-Bugs #33056]
266
70689a73
SR
267- Leave the siaddr field clear when sending a NACK as per RFC 2131
268 table 3.
269 [ISC-Bugs #38769]
270
30dcfbf6
SR
271- In the client don't send expired addresses to the script as part of
272 the binding process. Thanks to Sven Trenkel at Google for reporting
273 the issue and suggesting the patch.
274 [ISC-Bugs #38631]
275
4136513e
SR
276- While parsing IPv6 addresses treat "add" as part of the address instead
277 of as a token.
278 [ISC-Bugs #39529]
279
3933e2aa
SR
280- Add support for accessing the v4 lease queues (active, free etc) in a
281 binary fashion instead of needing to walk through a linear list to
282 insert, find or remove an entry from the queues. In addition add a
283 compile time option "--enable-binary-leases" to enable the new code
284 or to continue using the old code. The old code is the default.
285 Thanks to Fernando Soto from BlueCat Networks for the patch.
286 [ISC-Bugs #39078]
287
cca6a648 288- Delayed-ack now works properly with Failover. Prior to this, bind updates
289 post startup were being queued but never delivered. Among other things, this
290 was causing leases to not transition from expired or released to free.
291 [ISC-Bugs #31474]
292
46d31b51
SR
293- Clean up parsing of v6 lease files a bit to avoid infinite loops if the
294 lease file is corrupt in certain ways.
295 [ISC-Bugs #39760]
296
cca6a648 297- Corrected a crash in dhclient that occurs during lease renewal if the
68b3e7f2
TM
298 client is performing its own DNS updates. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat
299 for the bug report.
cca6a648 300 [ISC-Bugs #38639]
301
ff1b3d04
TM
302- Corrected an issue in v6 lease file parsing. Prior to this, when encountering
303 a lease with an address for which no configured pool exists, the server was
304 declaring the lease file corrupt and incorrectly skipping over the subsequent
305 entry in the file. The server will now emit a log message indicating that
306 no pool was found for the address (or prefix) and correctly resume parsing
cacce092 307 with the next entry in the lease file. Our thanks to Michal Žejdl for
673137b1 308 reporting the issue.
ff1b3d04
TM
309 [ISC-Bugs #39314]
310
34711bb7
SR
311- Be more liberal in finding a subnet group associated with a static
312 prefix. When we added the class matching code for v6 we also added
313 a requirement that the static prefix must be within a subnet the
314 client was in, in order to find the proper statements. We now
315 look for a subnet based on the prefix, failing that on the static
316 address for the client and failing that on the shared network
317 itself.
318 [ISC-Bugs #38329]
319
45c332f0
SR
320- Add a new action expression "parse_vendor_options", which can be used
321 to parse a vendor-encapsualted-option received by the server based on
322 the encoding specified by the vendor-option-space statement.
323 [ISC-Bugs #36449]
324
7a6c9368
SR
325- Enhance the PARANOIA patch to include fchown() the lease file to
326 allow it to be manipulated after the server does a chown().
327 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the patch.
328 [ISC-Bugs #36978]
329
7ef55702
SR
330- Relax the requirement that prefix pools must be within the subnet.
331 This was added in as part of #32453 in order to avoid configuration
332 mistakes but is being removed as prefixes aren't required to be
333 within the same subnet and many people configure them in that fashion.
334 [ISC-Bugs #40077]
335
6a39bcf0
TM
336- Fixed a server crash that could occur when the server attempts to remove
337 the billing class from the last lease billed to a dynamic class after said
6c8eb544
TM
338 class has been deleted. Our thanks to Lasse Pesonen for reporting the
339 issue.

342- LDAP Patches - Numerous small patches submitted by contributors have
343 been applied to the contributed code which supplies LDAP support.
af25ded3
SR
344 In addition, two larger submissions have also been included. The
345 first adds support for IPv6 configuration and the second provides

TM
377
378- Corrected a compilation error introduced by the fix for ISC-Bugs #37415.
379 The error occurs on Linux variants that do not support VLAN tag information
380 in packet auxiliary data. The configure script now only enables inclusion
381 of the VLAN tag-based logic if it is supported by the underlying OS.

45adf35c 386- Specifying the option, --disable-debug, on the configure script command line
4e1bf548 387 now disables debug features. Prior to this, specifying --disable-debug
112d76f6
TM
388 incorrectly enabled debug features. Thanks to Gustavo Zacarias for reporting
389 the issue.
4e1bf548 390 [ISC-Bugs #37780]
4d9b81fc 391
9a111ee8
TM
392- Unit test execution now uses a path augmented during configuration
393 processing of the --with-atf option to locate ATF runtime tools, atf-run
394 and atf-report. For most installations of ATF, this should alleviate the
395 need to manually include them in the PATH, as was formerly required.
396 If the configure script cannot locate the tools it will emit a warning,
397 informing the user that the tools must be in the PATH when running unit
398 tests.
399 Secondly, please note that "make check" will now exit with a failure status
400 code (non-zero) if one or more unit tests fail. This means that invoking
401 "make check" from an upper level directory will cause the make process to
402 STOP after the first test subdirectory with failed test(s). To force all
403 tests in all subdirectories to run, regardless of individual test outcome,
404 use the command "make -k check".

535- During startup, when the server encounters a lease whose binding state is
536 FTS_BACKUP but whose pool has no configured failover peer, it will reset the
537 lease's binding state to FTS_FREE. This allows the leases to be reclaimed
538 by the server after a pool's configuration has changed from failover to
539 standalone. Prior to this such leases would remain stuck in the backup state
540 making them unavailable for assignment. Note this conversion will occur
541 whether or not the server is compiled for failover.

TM
591- Added a global parameter, prefix-length-mode, which may be used to determine
592 how the server uses a non-zero value for prefix-length supplied by clients
593 when soliciting DHCPv6 prefixes. The server supports selection modes of:
594 ignore, prefer, exact, minimum and maximum which are described in detail in
595 the server man pages. The prior behavior of the server was to only offer a
596 prefix whose length exactly matched the prefix-length value requested. If
597 no such prefixes were available, the server returned a status of none
598 available. Note the default mode, "exact", provides this same behavior.

602- Corrected inconsistencies in dhcrelay's setting the upper interface hop count

604 address per RFC 3315 Section 20. Prior to this if the -u argument preceded
605 the -l argument on the command line or if the same interface was specified
606 for both; the logic to set the hop limit count for the upper interface was
607 skipped. This caused the hop count limit to be set to the default value

774- If a client renews before 'dhcp-cache-threshold' percent of its lease
775 has elapsed (default 25%), the server will reuse the allocated lease
776 (provide a lease within the currently allocated lease-time) rather
777 than extend or renew the lease. This absolves the server of needing
778 to perform an fsync() operation on the lease database before reply,
779 which improves performance. [ISC-Bugs #22228]
80778e94 780 Updated this patch to support asynchronous DDNS. If the server is
adb95d23 781 attempting to do DDNS on a lease it should be updated and written to

818 Enabling this option will mean that fsync() is never called. This
819 may provide better performance but there is also a risk that a lease

e54ff84f 842- When doing DDNS if there isn't an appropriate zone statement attempt
80778e94 843 to find a reasonable nameserver via a DNS resolver. This restores
e54ff84f
SR
844 some functionality that was lost in the transition to asynchronous
845 DDNS. Due to the lack of security and increase in fragility of the
846 system when using this feature we strongly recommend the use of
847 appropriate zone statements rather than using this functionality.

SR
850- Add support for specifying the address from which to send
851 DDNS updates on the DHCP server. There are two new options
852 "ddns-local-address4" and "ddns-local-address6" that each take
853 one instance of their respective address types.

856- Add ignore-client-uids option in the server. This option causes
857 the server to not record a client's uid in its lease. This
858 violates the specification but may also be useful when a client

7dc4e69c 889
01a44a77
SR
890- An optimization described in the failover protocol draft is now included,
891 which permits a DHCP server operating in communications-interrupted state
892 to 'rewind' a lease to the state most recently transmitted to its peer,
893 greatly increasing a server's endurance in communications-interrupted.
894 This is supported using a new 'rewind state' record on the dhcpd.leases
895 entry for each lease.

899- Update the fsync code to work with the changes to the DDNS code. It now
900 uses a timer instead of noticing if there are no more packets to process.
dc9d7b08 901
01a44a77
SR
902- When constructing the DNS name structure from a text string append
903 the root to relative names. This satisfies a requirement in the DNS
904 library that names be absolute instead of relative and prevents DHCP
905 from crashing. [ISC-Bugs #21054]

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

920! Accept a client id of length 0 while hashing. Previously the server would
921 exit if it attempted to hash a zero length client id, providing attackers

927- Modify the exception handling for initial context creation. Previously
928 we would try and clean up before exiting. This could present problems

930 also didn't do much as we exited afterwards anyway. Now we simply log
931 the error and exit. [ISC-Bugs #21093]

SR
933- A bug was fixed that could cause the DHCPv6 server to advertise/assign a
934 previously allocated (active) lease to a client that has changed subnets,
935 despite being on different shared networks. Dynamic prefixes specifically
936 allocated in shared networks also now are not offered if the client has
937 moved. [ISC-Bugs #21152]

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

1416! Previously the server code was relaxed to allow packets with zero
1417 length client ids to be processed. Under some situations use of
1418 zero length client ids can cause the server to go into an infinite
1419 loop. As such ids are not valid according to RFC 2132 section 9.14
1420 the server no longer accepts them. Client ids with a length of 1
1421 are also invalid but the server still accepts them in order to
1422 minimize disruption. The restriction will likely be tightened in
1423 the future to disallow ids with a length of 1.

1586- Failover port configuration can now be left to defaults (port 647) as
1587 described in the -12 revision of the Failover draft (and assigned by
4b97eaff 1588 IANA). Thanks in part to a patch from David Cantrell at Red Hat.

1591 rather than using a broadcast address. Thanks to a patch from David
1592 Cantrell at Red Hat.

9e3eb22a
DH
1599- A new failover configuration parameter has been introduced for those
1600 environments where DHCP servers can be reasonably guaranteed to be
1601 "down" when the failover TCP socket is severed, "auto-partner-down".
1602 This parameter is not generally safe, and by default is disabled, so
1603 please carefully review the documentation of this parameter in the
1604 dhcpd.conf(5) manpage before determining to use it yourself.
1605
33ea4622
DH
1606- Added a configuration function, 'gethostname()', which calls the system
1607 function of the same name and presents the results as a data expression.
1608 This function can be used to incorporate the system level hostname of
1609 the system the DHCP software is operating on in responses or queries (such
1610 as including a failover partner's hostname in a dhcp message or binding
1611 scope, or having a DHCP client send any system hostname in the host-name or
1612 FQDN options by default).
1613
5a671e87
DH
1614- The dhcp-renewal-time and dhcp-rebinding-time options may now be configured
1615 for DHCPv4 operation and used independently of the dhcp-lease-time
1616 calculations. Invalid renew and rebinding times (e.g., greater than the
1617 determined lease time) are omitted.
1618
adb95d23 1619- Processing the DHCP to DNS server transactions in an asynchronous fashion,
45adf35c 1620 the DHCP server or client can now continue with its processing while
98bf1607 1621 awaiting replies from the DNS server.
c900c5b2

1622
1623- The 'hardware [ethernet|etc] ...;' parameter in host records has been
1624 extended to attempt to match DHCPv6 clients by the last octets of a
1625 DUID-LL or DUID-LLT provided by the client.

DH
1633- The notorious 'option <unknown> ... larger than buffer' log line,
1634 which is seen in some malformed DHCP client packets, was modified.
1635 It now logs the universe name, and does not log the length values
1636 (which are bogus corruption read from the packet anyway). It also
1637 carries a hopefully more useful explanation.

1639- Suppress spurious warnings from configure about --datarootdir

1642 and Request packets, if the dynamic range covering any requested addresses
1643 had been deleted from configuration.

cd51403d
SR
1645- Update the code to deal with GCC 4.3. This included two sets of changes.
1646 The first is to the configuration files to include the use of

1663 result in an erroneous error log message ('garbage in format string').
1664
f9453d21
DH
1665- A bug in DLPI packet transmission (Solaris, HP/UX) that caused the server
1666 to stop receiving packets is fixed. The same fix also means that the MAC
1667 address will no longer appear 'bogus' on DLPI-based systems.
1668
1669- A bug in select handling was discovered where the results of one select()
1670 call were discarded, causing the server to process the next select() call
1671 and use more system calls than required. This has been repaired - the
1672 sockets will be handled after the first return from select(), resulting in
1673 fewer system calls.
1674
a3dcc0b1
DH
1675- The update-conflict-detection feature would leave an FQDN updated without
1676 a DHCID (still currently implemented as a TXT RR). This would cause later
1677 expiration or release events to fail to remove the domain name. The feature
1678 now also inserts the client's up to date DHCID record, so records may safely
1679 be removed at expiration or release time. Thanks to a patch submitted by
1680 Christof Chen.
1681
95fd7038
DH
1682- Memory leak in the load_balance_mine() function is fixed. This would
1683 leak ~20-30 octets per DHCPDISCOVER packet while failover was in use
1684 and in normal state.
1685

1687 DEBUG #defines in includes/site.h.

PS
1689- Fixed Linux client script 'unary operator expected' errors with DHCPv6.

1692 to be double-quoted. Also allow server-provided hostname to
1693 override hostnames 'localhost' and '(none)'.

1698- Compilation on Solaris with USE_SOCKETS defined in includes/site.h has
1699 been repaired. Other USE_ overrides should work better.
1700
1701- A check for the local flavor of IFNAMSIZ had a broken 'else' condition,
1702 that probably still resulted in the correct behaviour (but wouldn't use
1703 a larger defined value provided by the host OS).
1704
350576c5
DH
1705- Fixed a bug where an OMAPI socket disconnection message would not result
1706 in scheduling a failover reconnection, if the link had not negotiated a
1707 failover connect yet (e.g.: connection refused, asynch socket connect()
1708 timeouts).

1711 in failover state records.

8a4e543b
DH
1713! A stack overflow vulnerability was fixed in dhclient that could allow
1714 remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands as root on the system,
1715 or simply terminate the client, by providing an over-long subnet-mask
1b12d999 1716 option. CERT VU#410676 - CVE-2009-0692

1722 supported. Note that, similarly to 3.0.x, for by-code lookups only the
1723 last option definition is used.

PS
1725- Fixed a bug where a time difference of greater than 60 seconds between a
1726 failover pair could cause the primary to crash on contact with the
1727 secondary. Thanks to a patch from Steinar Haug.

b8d45c67
DH
1732- Secondary servers in a failover pair will now perform ddns removals if
1733 they had performed ddns updates on a lease that is expiring, or was
1734 released through the primary. As part of the same fix, stale binding scopes
1735 will now be removed if a change in identity of a lease's active client is
1736 detected, rather than simply if a lease is noticed to have expired (which it
1737 may have expired without a failover server noticing in some situations).
1738
583c1c16
DH
1739- A patch supplied by David Cantrell at RedHat was applied that detects
1740 invalid calling parameters given to the ns_name_ntop() function.
1741 Specifically, it detects if the caller passed a pointer and size pair
1742 that causes the pointer to integer-wrap past zero.
1743
e4e3a2ab
DH
1744! Fixed a fenceposting bug when a client had two host records configured,
1745 one using 'uid' and the other using 'hardware ethernet'. CVE-2009-1892
95f5d38c 1746
875e99dc
SR
1747- Fixed the check in the dhcp_interface_signal_handler routine to verify
1748 the existence of the linked signal handler before calling it.
1749
2267da84
DH
1750- Both host and subnet6 configuration groups are now included whether a
1751 fixed-address6 (DHCPv6) is in use or not. Host scoped configuration takes
1752 precedence. This fixes two bugs, one where host scoped configuration
1753 would not be included from a non-fixed-address6 host record, and the equal
1754 and opposite bug where subnet6 scoped configuration would not be used when
571c38b0 1755 over-riding values were not present in a matching fixed-address6 host
2267da84

1756 configuration.

1758- ./configure now checks to ensure the intX_t and u_intX_t types are defined,
1759 correcting a compilation failure when using Sun's compiler.
1760
0493fdca
SR
1761- Modified the handling of a connection to avoid releasing the omapi io
1762 object for the connection while it is still in use. One symptom from
1763 this error was a segfault when a failover secondary attempted to connect
1764 to the failover primary if their clocks were not synchronized.
1765
95bba8b6
SR
1766- Clean up to allow compilation with gcc 2.95.4 on FreeBSD. Remove an
1767 extra semi-colon from common/dns.c and moved setting a variable to NULL
1768 in server/dhcpv6.c to allow the compiler to decide that the variable
9a111ee8 1769 was always properly set.

1788 and not by failover binding updates (taking on the peer's CLTT).

1795- Delayed-ack is now a compile-time option, compiled out by default.
1796 This feature is simply too experimental for right now, and causes
1797 some problems to some failover installations. We will revisit this
1798 in future releases.
1799
f1672d89
DH
1800- The !inet_pton() call in res_mkupdrec was adjusted to '<= 0' as
1801 inet_pton returns either 1, 0, or -1.

1803- A dhclient-script for MacOS X has been included, which enables
1804 'dhclient -6' support.

DH
1806- DDNS removal routines were updated so that the DHCID is not removed until
1807 the client has been deprived of all A and AAAA records (not only the last
1808 one of either of those). This resolves a bug where dual stack clients
1809 would not be able to regain their names after either expiration event.

7d6180be
DH
1875- A bug in subnet6 parsing where options contained in subnet6 clauses would
1876 not be applied to clients addressed within that network was repaired.
1877
1878- When configuring a "subnet {}" or "subnet6 {}" without an explicit
1879 shared-network enclosing it, the DHCP software would synthesize a
1880 shared-network to contain the subnet. However, all configuration
1881 parameters within the subnet more intuitively belong "to any client
1882 on that interface", or rather the synthesized shared-network. So,
1883 when a shared-network is synthesized, it is used to contain the
1884 configuration present inside the subnet {} clause. This means that
1885 the configuration will be valid for all clients on that network, not
1886 just those addressed out of the stated subnet. If you intended the
1887 opposite, the workaround is to explicitly configure an empty
1888 shared-network.
1889
1890- A bug was fixed where Information-Request processing was not sourcing
1891 configured option values.
1892
1893- A warning was added since the DHCPv6 processing software does not yet
1894 support class statements.

1903

01a54c17
EH
1946- The dhclient-script was updated to create a host route for the default
1947 gateway if the supplied subnet mask for an IPv4 address was a /32. This
1948 allows the client to work in 'captive' network environments, where the
1949 operator does not want clients to crosstalk directly.
1950
adb95d23 1951- MINUS tokens should be parsable again.
01a54c17
EH
1952
1953- Multiple (up to "delayed-ack x;" maximum) DHCPv4 packets are now queued and
1954 released in bursts after single fsync() events when the upper limit is
1955 reached or if the receiving sockets go dry. The practical upshot is
1956 that fsync-coupled server performance is now multiplicitively increased.
1957 The default delayed ack limit is 28. Thanks entirely to a patch from
1958 Christof Chen.

1979- A flaw in failover pool rebalancing that could cause POOLREQ messages to
1980 be sent outside of the min-balance/max-balance scheduled intervals has
1981 been repaired.
1982
1983- A cosmetic bug during potential-conflict recovery that caused the peer's
1984 'conflict-done' state message to be logged as 'unknown-state' has been
1985 repaired. It is now logged correctly.
1986
49f61135
DH
1987- A bug was fixed where the 'giaddr' may be used to find the client's subnet
1988 rather than its own 'ciaddr'.
1989
41d4652f
DH
1990- A log message was introduced to clarify the situation where a failover
1991 'address' parameter (the server's local address) did not resolve to an
1992 IPv4 address.
1993
2c9bf1f4
DH
1994- The minimum site code value was set to 224 in 3.1.0 to track RFC3942. This
1995 broke a lot of legacy site local configurations. The new code in place will
1996 track site local space minimum option codes and logs a warning to encourage
1997 updates and exploration of site local code migration problems. Option
1998 codes less than 128 in site local spaces remain inaccessible.
1999
2000- A possible relay agent option bug was repaired where random server
2001 initialization state may have been used to signal the relay agent
2002 information options sub-option code for the 'END' of the option space.

c4d29896
SK
2006- Fixes to allow code to compile on Mac OS X Leopard (10.5).
2007
57fcb8d9
SK
2008- When server is configured with options that it overrides, a warning is
2009 issued when the configuration file is read, rather than at the time the
2010 option is overridden. This was important, because the warning was given
9a111ee8 2011 every time the option was overridden, which could create a lot of
57fcb8d9
SK
2012 unnecessary logging.
2013
219a65eb
DH
2014- Fixed a compilation problems on platforms that define a value for FDDI,
2015 which conflicts with a dhcp configuration syntax token by the same name.
2016
ffdf3c8c
DH
2017- When a failover server suspects it has encountered a peer running a
2018 version 3.0.x failover server, a warning that the failover wire protocol
2019 is incompatible is printed.
2020
2021- The failover server no longer issues a floating point error if it encounters
2022 a previously undefined option code.
2023

MA
2024- Fix startup error messages to report a missing "subnet6 declaration", rather
2025 than a missing "subnet declaration", when running as a DHCPv6 server.
2026
9a111ee8 2027- DHCPv6 client timestamp in DUID was based on the year 1970 rather
7e9f7a1b

2036 Changes since 4.0.0b3
2037
2038- The reverse dns name for PTR updates on IPv6 addresses has been fixed to
2039 use ip6.arpa. rather than default to in-addr.arpa and require user
2040 configuration.
76db44f9 2041
e32529a5
EH
2042- dhc6_lease_destroy() and dhc6_ia_destroy() now set lease and IA pointers
2043 to NULL after freeing, to prevent subsequent accesses to freed memory.
2044
9a111ee8 2045- The DHCPv6 server would not send the preference option unless the
76db44f9
SK
2046 client requested it, via the ORO. This has been fixed, so the DHCPv6
2047 server will always send the preference value if it is configured.
e4a6be15 2048
9a111ee8
TM
2049- When addresses were passed as hints to the server in an IA, they were
2050 incorrectly handled, sometimes being treated as an error. Now the
6f76de58
SK
2051 server will treat these as hints and ignore them if it cannot supply
2052 a requested address.
2053
703873ab
DH
2054- If the client had multiple addresses, and one expired (was not renewed
2055 by the server), the client would continue to attempt to renew the same
2056 old address over and over. Now, the client will omit any expired
2057 addresses from future Confirm, Renew, or Rebind messages.
2058
2059- dhclient -6 will now select renew/rebind timers based upon the longest
2060 address expiration time rather than the shortest expiration time, in
2061 order to avoid cascading renewals in the event a server elects not to
2062 extend one of multiple IAADDR leases.
2063
b024480e
DH
2064- The server now limits clients that request multiple addresses to one
2065 address per IA by default, which can be adjusted through the
2066 "limit-addrs-per-ia" configuration option.
2067
c0216cb7
DH
2068- The DHCPv6 client now issues fresh transaction IDs on Renew and Rebind
2069 message exchanges, rather than using the most recent ID.

DH
2084- ./configure now autodetects local database locations rather than trying
2085 to put dhcpd.leases and dhclient.leases in /usr/local/var/db, which no
2086 one ever has.
2087
9a111ee8

DH
2100- Relative time may now be used as a qualifier for 'allow' and 'deny' access
2101 control lists. These directives may be used to assist in re-addressing
2102 address pools without having to constantly reconfigure the server. Please
2103 see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more information on allow/deny 'after time' syntax.

DH
2106- The server will now include multiple IA_NA's and multiple IAADDRs within
2107 them, if advertised by the client. It still only seeks to allocate one
2108 new address.

75135a3f 2112- Use different paths for PID and lease files when running in DHCPv4
adb95d23 2113 or DHCPv6 mode, so that servers for both protocols can be run
75135a3f

2117 of service under unusual server configurations

2120
9a111ee8 2121- A number of bugs with the internal handling of lease state on the
f765ec36 2122 server have been fixed. Some of these could cause server crashes.

2124- The peer_wants_leases() changes pulled up from 3.1.0 were corrected,
2125 'never used' leases will no longer consistently shift between servers
2126 on every pool rebalance run.

9a111ee8 2136- The DHCP server no longer requires a "ddns-update-style" statement,
884a458f
SK
2137 and now defaults to "none", which means DNS updates are disabled.

2139- Log messages when failover peer names mismatch have been improved to
2140 point out the problem.

9a111ee8 2142- Bug where server advertised a IPv6 address in response to a SOLICIT
1b5053b5

eaf7eb17
DH
2149- Fixed a ./configure bug where compile tests were failing due to
2150 "-Werror" (unused variable) rather than the actual test failure. Lead
2151 to inconsistent and unworkable auto-configurations.

DH
2158- DHCPv6 server Confirm message processing has been enhanced - it no
2159 longer replies only to clients with host {} records, it now replies
2160 as directed in RFC3315 section 18.2.2 - that is, to all clients
2161 regardless of the existence of bindings.

DH
2163- A core dump during expired lease cleanup has been repaired.
2164
7285af30
DH
2165- DDNS updates state information are now stored in 'binding scopes' that
2166 follow the leases through their lifecycles. This enables DDNS teardowns
2167 on leases that are assigned and expired inbetween a server restart (the
2168 state is recovered from dhcpd.leases). Arbitrary user-specified binding
2169 scopes ('set var = "value";') are not yet supported.

2190 would segfault if a client attempted to renew a lease that had been
2191 loaded from persistent storage.
2192
45d545f0 2193- 'request' and 'also request' syntaxes have been added to accommodate
0c20eab3
DH
2194 the DHCPv6 client configuration. 'send dhcp6.oro' is no longer
2195 necessary.
2196
9a111ee8

2197- Bug fixed where configuration file parsing did not work with
2198 zero-length options; this made it impossible to set the
f800f4f6

2258
2259- Include the more standard sys/uio.h rather than rely upon other
f66f02cc
DH
2260 header files to include it (fixes a BSD 4.2 compile failure).
2261
2262- Duplicate dhclient-script updates for DHCPv6 to all provided scripts.
a512d11b 2263
4ba58919
DH
2264- DHCPv4 I/O methods that failed to sense hardware address were corrected.
2265
2266- DHCPv4 is now the default (as documented) rather than DHCPv6. The default
2267 was set to DHCPv6 to facilitate ease early development, and forgotten.
2268
2269- Corrected a segmentation violation in DHCPv4 socket processing.
2270
8ea19a71 2271- dhclient will now fork() into the background once it binds to an
45d545f0 2272 IPv6 address, or immediately if the -n flag is supplied.
8ea19a71

98bd7ca0
DH
2283 Changes since 3.1.0 (NEW FEATURES)
2284
2285- DHCPv6 Client and Server protocol support. Use '-6' to run the daemons
2286 as v6-only. Use '-4' to run the daemons as v4-only (default. There is
2287 no support currently for both.
2288
2289- Server support for multiple IA_NA options, containing at most one
2290 IAADDR option.
2291
2292- Client support for one IA_NA option, containing any number of IAADDR
2293 options.
2294
2295- Server support for the DHCPv6 Information-request message.
2296
2297- Inappropriate unicast DHCPv6 messages sent to the server are now
2298 discarded, and this has rearchitected the IO system slightly.
2299
2300- The DHCPv6 server DUID defaults to type 1, is persistently stored in
2301 the leases database, and can be over-ridden (either completely, or by
2302 specifying type 1 or type 2).
2303
2304- The server only uses Rapid-Commit if it has been configured with the
2305 Rapid-Commit option and the client requests it.
2306
2307- DDNS support. We now update AAAA records in the same place we would
2308 update A records, if we have an IPv6 address. We also generate IP6.ARPA
2309 style names for PTR records if we're dealing with an IPv6 address. Both
2310 A and AAAA updates are done using the same 'fqdn.' virtual option space
2311 (although the DHCPv4 FQDN and DHCPv6 FQDN options are formatted
2312 differently, they both use the same code here).
2313
2314- The Linux dhclient-script attempts to set and remove assigned addresses,
2315 and to configure /etc/resolv.conf from nameserver and domain name
2316 configurations. It can be extended to configure other parameters.
2317
2318- Initial DHCPv6 lease support.
2319
2320- The IO system now tracks all local IP addresses, so that the DHCP
2321 applications (particularly the dhcrelay) can discern between what frames
2322 were transmitted to it, and what frames are being carried through it which
2323 it should not intercept.
2324

DH
2325 Changes since 3.1.0 (Maintenance)
2326
2327- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for virgin leases always
2328 mapped to the primary. Virgin leases now have an interleaved preference
2329 between primary and secondary.
2330
2331- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for clients with no client
2332 identifier was sometimes mishashed to the peer. Load balancing during
2333 runtime and pool rebalancing were opposing.

2335- An assertion in lease counting relating to reserved leases was repaired.
2336
e9c59645
DH
2337- The subnet-mask option inclusion now conforms with RFC2132 section 3.3;
2338 it will only appear prior to the routers option if it is present on the
2339 Parameter-Request-List. The subnet-mask option will also only be
2340 included by default (if it is not on the PRL) in response to DISCOVER
2341 or REQUEST messages.
2342
2343- The FQDN option is only supplied if the client supplied an FQDN option or
2344 if the FQDN option was explicitly requested on the PRL.

DH
2353 Changes since 3.1.0b2
2354
2355- Failover rebalance events no longer play ping pong with round errors
2356 (moving leases between free and back to backup where there are an
2357 odd number of leases).
2358
2359- The 'pool' log line has been split into two messages, one before the
2360 rebalance run, and one after.
2361
2362- Any queued BNDACKs are transmitted before transmitting new BNDUPDs.
2363 This enforces the correct sequence of events for the remote server
2364 processing these messages.

2371- A new server config option "fqdn-reply" specifies whether the server
2372 should send out option 81 (FQDN). Defaults to "on". If set to "off",
2373 the FQDN option is not sent, even if the client requested it. This is
2374 needed because some clients misbehave otherwise. Thanks to Christof Chen
2375 at Allianz.

2383- Some uninitialized values were repaired in dhcpleasequery.c that
2384 caused the server to abort.
2385
4d2eaafb
DH
2386- A new server config option, 'do-reverse-updates', has been added
2387 which causes the server to abstain from performing updates on PTR
2388 records. Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen at Allianz.

2399- A flaw in failover startup sequences was repaired that sometimes left
2400 the primary DHCP server's pool rebalance schedules unscheduled.
2401
c9feb859
DH
2402- Corrected a flaw that broke encapsulated spaces included due to presence
2403 on the parameter request list.

SK
2405 Changes since 3.1.0a3
2406
2407- Some spelling fixes.

DH
2409 Changes since 3.1.0a2
2410
2411- A bug was fixed where attempting to permit leasequeries results in a
2412 fatal internal error, "Unable to find server option 49".
2413
85edef5c
DH
2414- A bug was fixed in dhclient rendering the textual output form of the
2415 domain-search option syntax.
2416

DH
2417 Changes since 3.1.0a1
2418
2419- A bug in the FQDN universe that added FQDN codes to the NWIP universe's
2420 hash table was repaired.
2421
616d67cb
DH
2422- The servers now try harder to transmit pending binding updates when
2423 entering normal state.
2424
2425- UPDREQ/UPDREQALL handling was optimized - it no longer dequeues and
2426 requeues all pending updates. This should reduce the number of spurious
66c8f734
DH
2427 'xid mismatch' log messages.
2428
2429- An option definition referencing leak was fixed, which resulted in early
2430 termination of dhclient upon the renewal event.
616d67cb 2431
6708d944
DH
2432- Some default hash table sizes were tweaked, some upwards, some downwards.
2433 3.1.0a1's tables resulted in a reduction in default server memory use.
2434 The new selected values provide more of a zero sum (increasing the size
2435 of tables likely to be populated, decreasing the size of tables unlikely).
2436
45d545f0 2437- Lease structures appear in three separate hashes: by IP address, by UID,
6708d944
DH
2438 and by hardware address. One type of table was used for all three, and
2439 improvements to IP address hashing were applied to all three (so UID and
2440 hardware addresses were treated like 4-byte integers). There are now two
2441 types of tables, and the uid/hw hashes use functions more appropriate
2442 to their needs.
2443
2444- The max-lease-misbalance percentage no longer causes scheduled rebalance
2445 runs to be skipped: it still governs the schedule, but every scheduled
2446 run will attempt balance.
2447
a7ee93fe
DH
2448- A segfault bug in recursive encapsulation support has been corrected.
2449
98311e4b
DH
2450 Changes since 3.0 (New Features)
2451
2452- A workaround for certain STSN servers that send a mangled domain-name
2453 option was introduced for dhclient. The client will now accept corrupted
2454 server responses, if they contain a valid DHCP_MESSAGE_TYPE (OFFER, ACK,
2455 or NAK). The server will continue to not accept corrupt client packets.
2456
98bd7ca0 2457- Support for 'reserved' (pseudo-static) and BOOTP leases via failover
a55ccdd0 2458 was introduced.
98311e4b
DH
2459
2460- Support for adding, removing, and managing class and subclass statements
2461 via OMAPI.
2462
a55ccdd0
DH
2463- The failover implementation was updated to comply with revision 12 of
2464 the protocol draft.
2465
98311e4b
DH
2466- 'make install' now creates the initial zero-length dhcpd.leases file if
2467 one does not already exist on the system.
2468
b43c87ad 2469- RFC3942 compliance, site-local option spaces start at 224 now, not 128.
b43c87ad 2470
0b17f049
DH
2471- The Load Balance Algorithm was misimplemented. The current implementation
2472 matches RFC 3074.
2473
2727c1cf
DH
2474- lcase() and ucase() configuration expressions have been added which adjust
2475 their arguments from upper to lower and lower to upper cases respectively.
2714a8ef 2476 Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
2727c1cf 2477
febbd402
DH
2478- The dhclient 'reject ...;' statement, which rejects leases given by named
2479 server-identifiers, now permits address ranges to be specified in CIDR
7d7073e7 2480 notation. Thanks to a patch from David Boyce.
febbd402 2481
ee912528
DH
2482- The subnet-mask option is now supplied by default, but at lowest
2483 priority. This helps a small minority of clients that provide parameter
2484 request lists, but do not list the subnet-mask option because they were
2485 designed to interoperate with a server that behaves in this manner.
2486
2487- The FQDN option is similarly supplied even if it does not appear on the
2488 parameter request list, but not to the exclusion of options that do
2489 appear at the parameter request list. Up until now it had ultimate
2490 priority over the client's parameter request list.
2491
f7fdb216 2492- Varying option space code and length bit widths (8/16/32) are now
51202707 2493 supported. This is a milestone in achieving RFC 3925 "VIVSO" and
f7fdb216
DH
2494 DHCPv6 support.
2495
5e864416
DH
2496- A new common (server or client) option, 'db-time-format local;', has
2497 been added which prints the local time in /var/db/dhcpd.leases rather
2498 than UTC. Thanks to a patch from Ken Lalonde.
2499
b500bd4c
DH
2500- Some patches to improve DHCP Server startup speed from Andrew Matheson
2501 have been incorporated.
2502
2426234f
DH
2503- Failover pairs now implement 'MAC Affinity' on leases moving from the
2504 active to free states. Leases that belonged to the failover secondary
2505 are moved to BACKUP state rather than FREE upon exiting EXPIRED state.
2506 If lease rebalancing must move leases, it tries first to move leases
2507 that belong to the peer in need.
2508
2509- The server no longer sends POOLREQ messages unless the pool is severely
2510 misbalanced in the peer's favor (see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more details).
2511
2512- Pool rebalance events no longer happen upon successfully allocating a
2513 lease. Instead, they happen on a schedule. See 'man dhcpd.conf' for the
2514 min-balance and max-balance statements for more information.
2515
334bf491
DH
2516- The DHCP Relay Agent Information Option / Link Selection Sub-Option
2517 is now supported. (See RFC3527 for details).
2518
3004bebf
DH
2519- A new DDNS related server option, update-conflict-detection, has been
2520 added. If this option is enabled, dhcpd will perform normal DHCID
2521 conflict resolution (the default). If this option is disabled, it will
2522 instead trust the assigned name implicitly (removing any other bindings
2523 on that name). This option has not been made available in dhclient.
2524
567e8561
DH
2525- In those cases where the DHCP software manufactures an IP header (to
2526 transmit via bpf, lpf, etc), the IP TTL the software selects has been
2527 increased from 16 to 128. This is intended to match Microsoft Windows
2528 DHCP Client behaviour, to increase compatibility.
2529
a396d25f
DH
2530- 'ignore client-updates;' now has behaviour that is different from
2531 'deny client-updates;'. The client's request is not truly ignored,
2532 rather it is encouraged. Should this value be configured, the server
2533 updates DNS as though client-updates were set to 'deny'. That is, it
2534 enters into DNS whatever it is configured to do already, provided it is
2535 configured to. Then it sends a response to the client that lets the
2536 client believe it is performing client updates (which it will), probably
2537 for a different name. In essence, this lets the client do as it will,
2538 ignoring this aspect of their request.
2539
dba5803b
DH
2540- Support for compressed 'domain name list' style DHCP option contents, and
2541 in particular the domain search option (#119) was added.
2542
41e45067 2543- The DHCP LEASEQUERY protocol as defined in RFC4388 is now implemented.
6d103865
SK
2544 LEASEQUERY lets you query the DHCP server for information about a lease,
2545 using either an IP address, MAC address, or client identifier. Thanks
2546 to a patch from Justin Haddad.
2547
41e45067
DH
2548- DHCPD is now RFC2131 section 4.1 compliant (broadcast to all-ones ip and
2549 ethernet mac address) on the SCO platform specifically without any strange
2550 ifconfig hacks. Many thanks go to the Kroger Co. for donating the
2551 hardware and funding the development.
6d103865 2552
b543fea9
DH
2553- A new common configuration executable statement, execute(), has been
2554 added. This permits dhcpd or dhclient to execute a named external
2555 program with command line arguments specified from other configuration
2556 language. Thanks to a patch written by Mattias Ronnblom, gotten to us
2557 via Robin Breathe.
2558
b22de500
DH
2559- A new dhcp server option 'adaptive-lease-time-threshold' has been added
2560 which causes the server to substantially reduce lease-times if there are
2561 few (configured percentage) remaining leases. Thanks to a patch submitted
2562 from Christof Chen.
2563
96bbe8c5
SK
2564- Encapsulated option spaces within encapsulated option spaces is now
2565 formally supported.
2566
b8221d95
DH
2567 Changes since 3.0.6rc1
2568
2569- supersede_lease() now requeues leases in their respective hardware
2570 address hash bucket. This mirrors client identifier behaviour.
2571
c1e6c832
DH
2572 Changes since 3.0.5
2573
f546c28b
DH
2574- Assorted fixes for broken network devices: Packet length is now
2575 determined from the IP header length field to finally calculate the
2576 UDP payload length, because some NIC drivers return more data than
5a22eb63 2577 they actually received.
f546c28b
DH
2578
2579- UDP packets are now stored in aligned data structures.
2580
c1e6c832
DH
2581- A logic error in omapi interface code was repaired that might result in
2582 incorrectly indicating 'up' state when any flags were set, rather than
23e10d37
DH
2583 specifically the INTERFACE_REQUESTED flag. Thanks to a patch from
2584 Jochen Voss which got to us via Andrew Pollock at Debian.
c1e6c832 2585
75ab3070
DH
2586- A reference leak on binding scopes set by ddns updates was repaired.
2587
d69fb6a8 2588- A memory leak in the minires_nsendsigned() function call was repaired.
23e10d37 2589 Effectively, this leaked ~176 bytes per DDNS update.
d69fb6a8 2590
02428754
DH
2591- In the case where an "L2" DHCP Relay Agent (one that does not set giaddr)
2592 was directly attached to the same broadcast domain as the DHCP server,
2593 the RFC3046 relay agent information option was not being returned to the
2594 relay in the server's replies. This was fixed; the dhcp server no longer
2595 requires the giaddr to reply with relay agent information. Note that
2596 this also improves compatibility with L2 devices that "intercept" DHCP
2597 packets and expect relay agent information even in unicast (renewal)
23e10d37
DH
2598 replies. Thanks to a patch from Pekka Silvonen.
2599
2600- A bug was fixed where the BOOTP header 'sname' field had a value, the
2601 copy written to persistent storage was actually the contents of the
2602 'file' field.
02428754 2603
ecde99a3
DH
2604- A bug was fixed where the nwip virtual option space was referencing
2605 the fqdn option's virtual option space's option cache.
2606
67674ffb
DH
2607- Timestamp parsing errors that indicated missing "minutes" fields rather
2608 than the actually missing "seconds" fields have been repaired thanks to
2609 a patch from Kevin Steves.
2610
830ebc4c
DH
2611- A grammar error in the dhclient.8 manpage was repaired thanks to a patch
2612 from Chris Wagner.
2613
c759db75
DH
2614- Several spelling typos were repaired, and some cross-references to other
2615 relevant documents were included in the manpages, thanks to a patch
2616 by Andrew Pollock which got to us via Tomas Pospisek.
2617
9aa3f3a5
DH
2618- Some bugs were fixed in the 'emergency relay agent options hologram'
2619 which is used to retain relay agent option contents from when the
2620 client was in INIT or REBIND states. This should solve problems where
2621 relay agent options were not echoed from the server, even when giaddr
2622 was set.
2623
3d0c598a
DH
2624- dhclient now closes its descriptor to dhclient.leases prior to executing
2625 dhclient-script. Thanks to a patch from Tomas Pospisek.
2626
d5b6835f
DH
2627- The server's "by client-id" and "by hardware address" hash table lists
2628 are now sorted according to the preference to re-allocate that lease to
2629 returning clients. This should eliminate pool starvation problems
2630 arising when "INIT" clients were given new leases rather than presently
2631 active ones.
2632
02428754 2633 Changes since 3.0.5rc1
0a73b7b6 2634
901306d5 2635- A bug was repaired in fixes to the dhclient, which sought to run the
0a73b7b6
SK
2636 dhclient-script with the 'EXPIRE' state should it receive a NAK in
2637 response to a REQUEST. The client now iterates the PREINIT state
2638 after the EXPIRE state, so that interfaces that might be configured
2639 'down' can be brought back 'up' and initialized.
2640
87a08ccc
DH
2641- DHCPINFORM handling for clients that properly set ciaddr and come to the
2642 server via a relay aget has been repaired.
2643
6da113fb
DH
2644 Changes since 3.0.4
2645
2646- A warning that host statements declared within subnet or shared-network
2647 scopes are actually global has been added.
2648
2649- The default minimum lease time (if min-lease-time was not specified)
2650 was raised from 0 to 300. 0 is not thought to be sensible, and is
2651 known to be damaging.
2652
2653- Added additional fatal error sanity checks surrounding lease binding
2654 state count calculations (free/active counts used for failover pool
2655 balancing).
2656
dcc557db
DH
2657- Some time value size fixes in 3.0.4 brought on from FreeBSD /usr/ports were
2658 misapplied to server values rather than client values. The server no longer
2659 advertises 8-byte lease-time options when on 64-bit platforms.
2660
1b2ab55f
DH
2661- A bug where leases not in ACTIVE state would get billed to billed classes
2662 (classes with lease limitations) was fixed. Non-active leases OFFERed
2663 to clients are no longer billed (but billing is checked before offering).
2664
e48891e8
DH
2665- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated in regard to the ddns-domainname
2666 configuration option - the default configuration and results should be
2667 more clear now.
2668
6cbc6629
DH
2669- If the dhclient were to receive a DHCPNAK while it was in the RENEW
2670 state (and consequently, had an active, 'bound' address and related
2671 configuration options), it would fail to 'tear down' this information
2672 before proceeding into INIT state. dhclient now iterates the dhclient-
2673 script with the 'EXPIRE' action to cause these teardowns prior to entering
1d3bfb17 2674 INIT state. Thanks to a patch from Chris Zimmerman.
6cbc6629 2675
c5fec5fa
DH
2676- The omapi.1 manpage had some formatting errors repaired thanks to a patch
2677 from Yoshihiko Sarumaru.
2678
33e1cb2b
DH
2679- A few lines of code that were failover-specific were moved within
2680 #if defined() clauses so that compilation without failover could be
2681 made possible.
2682
2bddf829
DH
2683- The log message emitted when the 'leased-address' value was not available
2684 in dhcpd.conf "executable statements" has been updated to be more helpful.
2685 Manpage information for this value has also been updated.
2686
87578987
DH
2687- Abandoned or dissociated (err condition) leases now remove any related
2688 dynamic dns bindings. Thanks to a patch from Patrick Schoo.
2689
e77c575f
DH
2690- Attempting to write a new lease file to replace a corrupt (due to
2691 encountering non-retryable errors during writing) lease file should
2692 no longer result in an infinite recursion.
2693
2178df03
DH
2694- Host declaration hardware addresses and client identifiers may only be
2695 configured once. dhcpd will now fail to load config files that specify
2696 multiple identifiers (previous versions would silently over-ride the
2697 value with the later configured value).
2698
d5341d9b
SK
2699- Several option codes that have been allocated since our last release
2700 have been named and documented.
2701
2702- Option names of the form "unknown-123" have been removed from the in-
2703 memory hash tables. In order to support options of these names that
2704 may appear in dhclient.leases or similar in previous versions, the
2705 parser will now find the new option code definition, or mock up a
2706 generic option code definition. This should result in a smooth
2707 transition from one name to the other, as the new name is used to
2708 write new output.
2709
6da113fb
DH
2710 Changes since 3.0.4rc1
2711
2712- The dhcp-options.5 manpage was updated to correct indentation errors
2713 thanks to a patch from Jean Delvare.
2714
2715 Changes since 3.0.4b3
2716
2717- Some manual pages were clarified pursuant to discussion on the dhcp-server
2718 mailing list.
2719
88cd8aca
DH
2720 Changes since 3.0.4b2
2721
45d545f0 2722- Null-termination sensing for certain clients that unfortunately require
88cd8aca
DH
2723 it in DHCPINFORM processing was repaired.
2724
2725- The host-name option and a few others were moved from "X" format to "t"
2726 format to be compatible with new NULL handling functions.
2727
2728- DHCPINFORM processing is a little more careful about return addressing
2729 its responses, or if responding via a relay. The INFORM related
2730 messages also log the 'effective client ip address' rather than the
2731 client's supplied ciaddr (since some clients produce null ciaddrs).
2732
2733- The server was inappropriately sending leases to the RESET state in the
2734 event that multiple active leases were found to match a singly-identified
2735 client. This was changed to RELEASED (by accepting a different, ACTIVE
2736 binding, the client is implicitly releasing its lease). This repairs a
2737 bug wherein secondary servers in failover pairs detecting this condition
2738 move leases to RESET, and primaries refuse to accept that state
2739 transition (properly).
2740
2741- The memset-after-dmalloc() changes made in 3.0.4b1 have been backed out.
2742
2743 Changes since 3.0.4b1
2744
2745- Command line parsing in omshell was repaired - it no longer closes
2746 STDIN after reading one line.
2747
2748- The resolver library no longer closes the /etc/resolv.conf file
2749 descriptor it opened twice.
2750
2751- Changes to trailing NULL removal in 't' option-atoms has been rethought,
2752 it now includes 'd' (domain name) types, and tries hard not to rewind an
2753 option beyond the start of the text field it is un-terminating.
2754
2755 Changes since 3.0.3
2756
2757- A DDNS update handling function was misusing the DNS error codes, rather
2758 than the internal generic result enumeration. The result is a confusing
2759 syslog line, logging the wrong condition.
2760
2761- The DHCP Server was not checking pool balance in the case where it brought
2762 a non-ACTIVE lease out of storage for a client that was returning to use
2763 a lease it once had long ago, and had since expired.
2764
2765- Failover peers no longer bother to look for free leases to allocate when
2766 they already found the client's ACTIVE lease. DISCOVERs are load balanced
98bd7ca0 2767 whether freely-allocated or not, unless the server doubts the peer has
88cd8aca
DH
2768 leases to allocate.
2769
2770- Fixed a bug in dhcrelay agent addition code that suppressed trailing
45d545f0 2771 PAD options - it was suppressing only one trailing PAD option, rather
88cd8aca
DH
2772 than the entire block of them.
2773
3a16098f
DH
2774! Fixed some unlikely overlapping-region memcpy() bugs in dhcrelay agent
2775 option addition and stripping code. Added a few sanity checks. Although
2776 highly improbable, due to requiring the reception of a DHCP datagram well
2777 in excess of all known to be used physical MTU limitations, it is possible
2778 this may have been used in a stack overflow security vulnerability. Thanks
2779 to a patch from infamous42md.
2780
2781! Added some sanity checks to OMAPI connection/authentication code.
2782 Although highly improbable, due to having to deliver in excess of 2^32
2783 bytes of data via the OMAPI channel, not to mention requiring dhcpd to
2784 be able to malloc() a memory region 2^32 bytes in size, it was possible
2785 this might have resulted in a heap overflow security vulnerability.
2786 Thanks to a patch from infamous42md.
88cd8aca
DH
2787
2788- dmalloc() memset()'s the non-debug (data) portion of the allocated
2789 memory to zero. Code that memset()'s the result returned by dmalloc() to
2790 zero is redundant. These redundancies were removed.
2791
2792- Some type declaration corrections to u_int16_t were made in common/tr.c
4b97eaff 2793 (Token Ring support) thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
88cd8aca
DH
2794
2795- A failover bug that was allowing leases that EXPIRED or were RELEASED
2796 where tsfp and tstp are identical timestamps to languish in these
2797 transitional states has been repaired. As a side effect, lease
2798 databases should be kept more consistent overall, not just for these
2799 transitional states.
2800
2801- If the lease db is deleted out from under the daemon, and it moves to rewrite
2802 the db, it will go ahead with the operation and move the new db into place
2803 once it detects the old db does not exist.
2804
2805- dhclient now ignores IRDA, SIT, and IEEE1394 network interfaces, as it
2806 is either nonsensical or (in the case of IEEE1394) is not known to support
2807 these interfaces. Thanks to Marius Gedminas and Andrew Pollock of Debian.
2808
2809- Some previously undocumented reasons for dhclient-script invoking has
45d545f0 2810 been documented in the dhclient-script.8 manpage.
88cd8aca
DH
2811
2812- Failover potential expiry calculations (TSTP) have been corrected. Results
2813 should be substantially more consistent, and proper given the constraints.
2814
2815- Adjusted lease state validation checks in potential-conflict, to
2816 account for possible clock skew similarly to normal state, and several
2817 previously illegal transitions were made legal (ex: active->released).
2818
2819- An impossible sanity check was removed from omapi/buffer.c, thanks to a
2820 patch from 'infamous42md'.
2821
2822- An OMAPI host/network byte order problem in lease time values has been
2823 repaired.
2824
2825- Several minor bugs, largely relating to treating 8-byte time values as
2826 4-byte entities, have been repaired after careful review of the FreeBSD
2827 ports collection's patch set. Thanks to the nameless entities who have
2828 contributed to the FreeBSD ports.
2829
2830- When writing a trace file, the file is now created with permissions 0600,
2831 to help administrators avoid accidentally publicising sensitive config
2832 data.
2833
2834- The calculation of the maximum size of DHCP packets no longer includes
2835 Ethernet framing overhead. The result is that the 'Maximum Message
2836 Size' option advertised by clients, or the default value 576, is no
2837 longer reduced by 14 bytes, and instead directly reflects the IP level
2838 MTU (and the default, minimum allowed IP MTU of 576).
2839
2840- The special status of RELEASED/EXPIRED/RESET leases when a server
2841 is operating in partner-down was fixed. It no longer requires a
2842 lease be twice the MCLT beyond STOS to 'reallocate', and the expiry
2843 event to turn these into FREE leases without peer acknowledgement
2844 (after STOS+MCLT) has been repaired.
2845
2846- Compilation on older Solaris systems (lacking /usr/include/sys/int_types.h)
2847 has been repaired.
2848
2849- "append"ing a string onto the end of a "t" type option (such as the
2850 domain-name field) that had been improperly NULL-terminated by the
2851 DHCP server will no longer result in a truncated string containing
2852 only the option from the server, and not the expected appended value.
4b97eaff 2853 Thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.

DH
2854
2855- File handlers on configuration state (config files and lease dbs) should
98bd7ca0 2856 be treated consistently, regardless of whether TRACING is defined or not.
88cd8aca 2857
45d545f0 2858- The Linux build environment has had some minor improvements - better
88cd8aca
DH
2859 sensing of 64-bit pointer sizes (only used for establishing an icmp_id),
2860 and corrections to #if operators regarding LINUX_MAJOR should it ever
2861 move to 3.[01].x.
2862
2863- The server now tries harder to survive the condition where it is unable
2864 to open a new lease file to rewrite the lease state database.
2865

2866 Changes since 3.0.3b3
2867
2868- dhclient.conf documentation for interface {} was updated to reflect recent
2869 discussion on the dhcp-hackers mailing list.
2870
2871- In response to reports that the software does not compile on GCC 4.0.0,
2872 -Werror was removed from Makefile.conf for all platforms that used it.
2873 We will address the true problem in a future release; this is a temporary
2874 workaround.
2875
2876 Changes since 3.0.3b2
2877
2878- An error in code changes introduced in 3.0.3b2 was corrected, which caused
2879 static BOOTP clients to receive random addresses.
2880
2881 Changes since 3.0.3b1
2882
2883- A bug was fixed in BOOTPREQUEST handling code wherein stale references to
2884 host records would be left behind on leases that were not allocated to the
2885 client currently booting (eg in the case where the host was denied booting).
2886
2887- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated to be more clear in regards to
2888 multiple host declarations (thanks to Vincent McIntyre). 'Interim' style
2889 dynamic updates were also retouched.
2890
98311e4b
DH
2891 Changes since 3.0.2
2892
2893- A bug was fixed where a server might load balance a DHCP REQUEST to its
45d545f0 2894 peer after already choosing not to load balance the preceding DISCOVER.
98311e4b
DH
2895 The peer cannot allocate the originating server's lease.
2896
2897- In the case where a secondary server lost its stable storage while the
2898 primary was still in communications-interrupted, and came back online,
2899 the lease databases would not be fully transferred to the secondary.
2900 This was due to the secondary errantly sending an extra UPDREQ message
2901 when the primary made its state transition to PARTNER-DOWN known.
2902
2903- The package will now compile cleanly in gcc 3.3 and 3.4. As a side effect,
2904 lease structures will be 9 bytes smaller on all platforms. Thanks to
4b97eaff 2905 Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
2906
2907- Interface discovery code in DISCOVER_UNCONFIGURED mode is now
2908 properly restricted to only detecting broadcast interfaces. Thanks
4b97eaff 2909 to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
2910
2911- decode_udp_ip_header was changed so that the IP address was copied out
2912 to a variable, rather than referenced by a pointer. This enforces 4-byte
2913 alignment of the 32-bit IP address value. Thanks to a patch from Dr.
2914 Peter Poeml.
2915
2916- An incorrect log message was corrected thanks to a patch from
2917 Dr. Peter Poeml.
2918
2919- A bug in DDNS was repaired, where if the server's first DDNS action was
2920 a DDNS removal rather than a DDNS update, the resolver library's
2921 retransmit timer and retry timer was set to the default, implying a
2922 15 second timeout interval. Which is a little excessive in a synchronous,
2923 single-threaded system. In all cases, ISC DHCP should now hold fast to
2924 a 1-second timeout, trying only once.
2925
2926- The siaddr field was being improperly set to the server-identifier when
2927 responding to DHCP messages. RFC2131 clarified the siaddr field as
2928 meaning the 'next server in the bootstrap process', eg a tftp server.
2929 The siaddr field is now left zeroed unless next-server is configured.
2930
2931- mockup_lease() could have returned in an error condition (or in the
2932 condition where no fixed-address was found matching the shared
2933 network) with stale references to a host record. This is probably not
2934 a memory leak since host records generally never die anyway.
2935
2936- A bug was repaired where failover servers would let stale client identifiers
2937 persist on leases that were reallocated to new clients not sending an id.
2938
2939- Binding scopes ("set var = value;") are now removed from leases allocated
2940 by failover peers if the lease had expired. This should help reduce the
2941 number of stale binding scopes on leases.
2942
2943- A small memory leak was closed involving client identifiers larger than
2944 7 bytes, and failover.
2945
2946- Configuring a subnet in dhcpd.conf with a subnet mask of 32 bits might
2947 cause an internal function to overflow heap. Thanks to Jason Vas Dias
4b97eaff 2948 at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
2949
2950- Some inconsistencies in treating numbers that the lexer parsed as 'NUMBER'
2951 or 'NUMBER_OR_NAME' was repaired. Hexadecimal parsing is affected, and
2952 should work better.
2953
2954- In several cases, parse warnings were being issued before the lexical
2955 token had been advanced to the token whose value was causing an error...
2956 causing parse warnings to claim the problem is on the wrong token.
2957
2958- Host declarations matching on client identifier for dynamic leases will
2959 no longer match fixed-address host declarations (this is now identical
2960 to behaviour for host records matching on hardware address).
2961
2962 Changes since 3.0.2rc3
2963
2964- A previously undocumented configuration directive, 'local-address',
2965 was documented in the dhcpd.conf manpage.
2966
2967 Changes since 3.0.2rc2
2968
45d545f0 2969- Two variables introduced in 3.0.2b1 were used without being initialized
98311e4b
DH
2970 in the case where neither the FILE nor SNAME fields were available for
2971 overloading. This was repaired.
2972
2973- A heretofore believed to be impossible corner case of the option
2974 overloading implementation turned out to be possible ("Unable to sort
2975 overloaded options after 10 tries."). The implementation was reworked
2976 to consider the case of an option so large it would require more than
2977 three chunks to fit.
2978
2979- Many other instances of variables being used without being initialized
2980 were repaired.
2981
2982- An uninitialized variable in omapi_io_destroy() led to the discovery
2983 that this function may result in orphaned pointers (and hence, a memory
2984 leak).
2985
2986 Changes since 3.0.2rc1
2987
2988- allocate_lease() was rewritten to repair a bug in which the server would
2989 try to allocate an ABANDONED lease when FREE leases were available.
2990
2991 Changes since 3.0.2b1
2992
2993- Some dhcp-eval.5 manpage formatting was repaired.
2994
2995 Changes since 3.0.1
2996
2997- A bug was fixed in the server's 'option overloading' implementation,
2998 where options loaded into the 'file' and 'sname' packet fields were
2999 not aligned precisely as rfc2131 dictates.
3000
3001- The FreeBSD client script was changed to support the case where a domain
3002 name was not provided by the server.
3003
3004- A memory leak in 'omshell' per each command line parsed was
3005 repaired, thanks to a patch from Jarkko Torppa.
3006
3007- Log functions writing to stderr were adjusted to use the STDERR_FILENO
3008 system definition rather than '2'. This is a no-op for 90% of platforms.
3009
3010- One call to trace_write_packet_iov() counted the number of io vectors
3011 incorrectly, causing inconsistent tracefiles. This was fixed.
3012
3013- Some expression parse failure memory leaks were closed.
3014
3015- A host byte order problem in tracefiles was repaired.
3016
3017- Pools configured in DHCPD for failover possessing permission lists that
adb95d23 3018 previously were assumed to not include dynamic bootp clients are now
98311e4b
DH
3019 a little more pessimistic. The result is, dhcpd will nag you about just
3020 about most pools that possess a 'allow' statement with no 'deny' that
3021 would definitely match a dynamic bootp client.
3022
3023- The 'ddns-update-style' configuration warning bit now insists that
3024 the configuration be globally scoped.
3025
3026- Two memory leaks in dhclient were closed thanks to a patch from Felix
3027 Farkas.
3028
3029- Some minor but excellently pedantic documentation errors were fixed
3030 thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
3031
3032- Bugs in operator precedence in executable statements have been repaired
3033 once again. More legal syntaxes should be parsed legally.
3034
3035- Failing to initialize a tracefile for any reason if a tracefile was
3036 specified is now a fatal error. Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
3037
3038- Corrected a bug in which the number of leases transferred as calculated
3039 by the failover primary and sent to peers in POOLRESP responses may be
3040 incorrect. This value is not believed to be used by other failover
3041 implementations, excepting perhaps as logged information.
3042
3043- Corrected a bug in which 'dhcp_failover_send_poolresp()' was in fact
3044 sending POOLREQ messages instead of POOLRESP mesasges. This message
3045 was essentially ignored since failover secondaries effectively do not
3046 respond to POOLREQ messages.
3047
3048- Type definitions for various bitwidths of integers in the sunos5-5
3049 build of ISC DHCP have been fixed. It should compile and run more
3050 easily when built in 64-bit for this platform.
3051
3052- "allow known-clients;" is now a legal syntax, to avoid confusion.
3053
3054- If one dhcp server chooses to 'load balance' a request to its failover
3055 peer, it first checks to see if it believes said peer has a free
3056 lease to allocate before ignoring the DISCOVER.
3057
3058- log() was logging a work buffer, rather than the value returned by
3059 executing the statements configured by the user. In some cases,
3060 the work buffer and the intended results were the same. In some other
3061 cases, they were not. This was fixed thanks to a patch from Gunnar
3062 Fjone and directconnect.no.
3063
3064- Compiler warnings for some string type conversions was fixed, thanks
3065 to Andreas Gustafsson.
3066
3067- The netbsd build environments were simplified to one, in which
3068 -Wconversion is not used, thanks to Andreas Gustafsson.
3069
3070- How randomness in the backoff-cutoff dhclient configuration variable
3071 is implemented was better documented in the manpage, and the behaviour
3072 of dhclient in REQUEST timeout handling was changed to match that of
3073 DISCOVER timeout handling.
3074
3075- Omapi was hardened against clients that pass in null values, thanks
3076 to a patch from Mark Jason Dominus.
3077
3078- A bug was fixed in dhclient that kept it from doing client-side
3079 ddns updates. Thanks to a patch from Andreas Gustafsson, which
3080 underwent some modification after review by Jason Vas Dias.
3081
3082- Failover implementations disconnected due to the network between
3083 them (rather than one of the two shutting down) will now try to
3084 re-establish the failover connection every 5 seconds, rather than
3085 to simply try once and give up until one of them is restarted.
3086 Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from Infoblox, and field testing
3087 by Greger V. Teigre which led to an enhancement to it.
3088
3089- A problem that kept DHCP Failover secondaries from tearing down
3090 ddns records was repaired. Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from
3091 Infoblox.
3092
3093- 64bit pointer sizes are detected properly on FreeBSD now.
3094
3095- A bug was repaired where the DHCP server would leave stale references
3096 to host records on leases it once thought about offering to certain
3097 clients. The result would be to apply host and 'known' scopes to the
3098 wrong clients (possibly denying booting). NOTE: The 'mis-host' patch
3099 that was being circulated as a workaround is not the way this bug was
3100 fixed. If you were a victim of this bug in 3.0.1, you are cautioned
3101 to proceed carefully and see if it fixes your problem.
3102
3103- A bug was repaired in the server's DHCPINFORM handling, where it
3104 tried to divine the client's address from the source packet and
3105 would get it wrong. Thanks to Anshuman Singh Rawat.
3106
3107- A log message was introduced to help illuminate the case where the
3108 server was unable to find a lease to assign to any BOOTP client.
3109 Thanks to Daniel Baker.
3110
3111- A minor dhcpd.conf.5 manpage error was fixed.
3112
3113 Changes since 3.0.1rc14
3114
3115- The global variable 'cur_time' was centralized and is now uniformly of a
3116 type #defined in system-dependent headers. It had previously been defined
3117 in one of many places as a 32-bit value, and this causes mayhem on 64-bit
3118 big endian systems. It probably wasn't too healthy on little endian
3119 systems either.
3120
3121- A printf format string error introduced in rc14 was repaired.
3122
3123- AIX system-dependent header file was altered to only define NO_SNPRINTF
3124 if the condition used to #ifdef in vsnprintf in AIX' header files
3125 is false.
3126
3127- The Alpha/OSF system-dependent header file was altered to define
3128 NO_SNPRINTF on OS revisions older than 4.0G.
3129
3130- omapip/test.c had string.h added to its includes.
3131
3132 Changes since 3.0.1rc13
3133
3134! CAN-2004-0460 - CERT VU#317350: Five stack overflow exploits were closed
3135 in logging messages with excessively long hostnames provided by the
3136 clients. It is highly probable that these could have been used by
3137 attackers to gain arbitrary root access on systems using ISC DHCP 3.0.1
3138 release candidates 12 or 13. Special thanks to Gregory Duchemin for
3139 both finding and solving the problem.
3140
3141! CAN-2004-0461 - CERT VU#654390: Once the above was closed, an opening
45d545f0 3142 in log_*() functions was evidenced, on some specific platforms where
98311e4b
DH
3143 vsnprintf() was not believed to be available and calls were wrapped to
3144 sprintf() instead. Again, credit goes to Gregory Duchemin for finding
3145 the problem. Calls to snprintf() are now linked to a distribution-local
3146 snprintf implementation, only in those cases where the architecture is
3147 not known to provide one (see includes/cf/[arch].h). If you experience
3148 linking problems with snprintf/vsnprintf or 'isc_print_' functions, this
3149 is where to look. This vulnerability did not exist in any previously
3150 published version of ISC DHCP.
3151
3152- Compilation on hpux 11.11 was repaired.
3153
3154- 'The cross-compile bug fix' was backed out.
3155
3156 Changes since 3.0.1rc12
3157
3158- Fixed a bug in omapi lease lookup function, to form the hardware
3159 address for the hash lookup correctly, thanks to a patch from
3160 Richard Hirst.
3161
3162- Fixed a bug where dhcrelay was sending relayed responses back to the
3163 broadcast address, but with the source's unicast mac address. Should
3164 now conform to rfc2131 section 4.1.
3165
3166- Cross-compile bug fix; use $(AR) instead of ar. Thanks to Morten Brorup.
3167
3168- Fixed a crash bug in dhclient where dhcpd servers that do not provide
3169 renewal times results in an FPE. As a side effect, dhclient can now
3170 properly handle 0xFFFFFFFF (-1) expiry times supplied by servers. Thanks
3171 to a patch from Burt Silverman.
3172
3173- The 'ping timeout' debugs from rc12 were removed to -DDEBUG only,
45d545f0 3174 and reformatted to correct a compilation error on Solaris platforms.
98311e4b
DH
3175
3176- A patch was applied which fixes a case where leases read from the
3177 leases database do not properly over-ride previously read leases.
3178
3179- dhcpctl.3 manpage was tweaked.
3180
3181 Changes since 3.0.1rc11
3182
3183- A patch from Steve Campbell was applied with minor modifications to
3184 permit reverse dns PTR record updates with values containing spaces.
3185
3186- A patch from Florian Lohoff was applied with some modifications to
3187 dhcrelay. It now discards packets whose hop count exceeds 10 by default,
3188 and a command-line option (-c) can be used to set this threshold.
3189
3190- A failover bug relating to identifying peers by name length instead of
3191 by name was fixed.
3192
45d545f0 3193- Declaring failover configs within shared-network statements should no
98311e4b
DH
3194 longer result in error.
3195
3196- The -nw command line option to dhclient now works.
3197
3198- Thanks to a patch from Michael Richardson:
3199 - Some problems with long option processing have been fixed.
3200 - Some fixes to minires so that updates of KEY records will work.
3201
3202- contrib/ms2isc was updated by Shu-Min Chang of the Intel Corporation.
3203 see contrib/ms2isc/readme.txt for revision notes.
3204
3205- Dhclient no longer uses shell commands to kill another instance of
3206 itself, it sends the signal directly. Thanks to a patch from Martin
3207 Blapp.
3208
3209- The FreeBSD dhclient-script was changed so that a failure to write to
3210 /etc/resolv.conf does not prematurely end the script. This keeps dhclient
3211 from looping infinitely when this is the case. Thanks to a patch from
3212 Martin Blapp.
3213
3214- A patch from Bill Stephens was applied which resolves a problem with lease
3215 expiry times in failover configurations.
3216
3217- A memory leak in configuration parsing was closed thanks to a patch from
3218 Steve G.
3219
3220- The function which discovers interfaces will now skip non-broadcast or
3221 point-to-point interfaces, thanks to a patch from David Brownlee.
3222
3223- Options not yet known by the dhcpd or dhclient have had their names
3224 changed such that they do not contain # symbols, in case they should ever
3225 appear in a lease file. An option that might have been named "#144" is
3226 now "unknown-144".
3227
3228- Another patch from Bill Stephens which allows the ping-check timeout to
3229 be configured as 'ping-timeout'. Defaults to 1.
3230
3231 Changes since 3.0.1rc10
3232
3233- Potential buffer overflows in minires repaired.
3234
3235- A change to the linux client script to use /bin/bash, since /bin/sh may
3236 not be bash.
3237
3238- Some missing va_end cleanups thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
3239
3240- A correction of boolean parsing syntax validation - some illegal syntaxes
3241 that worked before are now detected and produce errs, some legal syntaxes
3242 that errored before will now work properly.
3243
3244- Some search-and-replace errors that caused some options to change their
3245 names was repaired.
3246
3247- Shu-min Chang of the Intel corporation has contributed a perl script and
3248 module that converts the MS NT4 DHCP configuration to a ISC DHCP3
3249 configuration file.
3250
3251- Applied the remainder of the dhcpctl memory leak patch provided by Bill
3252 Squier at ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
3253
3254- Missing non-optional failover peer configurations will now result in a soft
3255 error rather than a null dereference.
3256
3257 Changes since 3.0.1rc9
3258
3259- A format string was corrected to fix compiler warnings.
3260
3261- A number of spelling corrections were made in the man pages.
3262
3263- The dhclient.conf.5 man page was changed to refer to do-forward-updates
3264 rather than a configuration option that doesn't exist.
3265
3266- A FreeBSD-specific bug in the interface removal handling was fixed.
3267
3268- A Linux-specific Token Ring detection problem was fixed.
3269
3270- Hashes removed from as-yet-unknown agent options, having those options
3271 appear in reality before we know about them will no longer produce
3272 self-corrupting lease databases.
3273
3274- dhclient will use the proper port numbers now when using the -g option.
3275
3276- A order-of-operations bug with 2 match clauses in 1 class statement is
3277 fixed thanks to a patch from Andrew Matheson.
3278
3279- Compilation problems on Solaris were fixed.
3280
3281- Compilation problems when built with DEBUG or DEBUG_PACKET were repaired.
3282
3283- A fix to the dhcp ack process which makes certain group options will be
3284 included in the first DHCPOFFER message was made thanks to a patch from
3285 Ling Gou.
3286
3287- A few memory leaks were repaired thanks to patches from Bill Squier at
3288 ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
3289
3290- A fix for shared-networks that sometimes give clients options for the
3291 wrong subnets (in particular, 'option routers') was applied, thanks to
3292 Ted Lemon for the patch.
3293
3294- Omshell's handling of dotted octets as values was changed such that dots
3295 one after the other produce zero values in the integer string.
3296
3297 Changes since 3.0.1rc8
3298
3299- Fix a format string vulnerability in the server that could lead to a
3300 remote root compromise (discovered by NGSEC Research Team, www.ngsec.com).
3301
3302- Add additional support for NetBSD/sparc64.
3303
3304- Fix a bug in the command-line parsing of the client. Also, resolve
3305 a memory leak.
3306
3307- Add better support for shells other than bash in the Linux client
3308 script.
3309
3310- Various build fixes for modern versions of FreeBSD and Linux.
3311
3312- Fix a bad bounds check when printing binding state names.
3313
3314- Clarify documentation about fixed-address and multiple addresses.
3315
3316- Fix a typo in the authoritative error message.
3317
3318- Make a log entry when we can't write a billing class.
3319
3320- Use conversion targets that are the right size on all architectures.
3321
3322- Increment the hop count when relaying.
3323
3324- Log a message when lease state is changed through OMAPI.
3325
3326- Don't rerun the shared_network when evaluating the pool.
3327
3328- Fix a reversed test in the parser.
3329
3330- Change the type of rbuf_max.
3331
3332- Make FTS_LAST a manifest constant to quiet warnings.
3333
3334 Changes since 3.0.1rc7
3335
3336- Fix two compiler warnings that are generated when compiling on Solaris
3337 with gcc. These stop the build, even though they weren't actually
3338 errors, because we prefer that our builds generate no warnings.
3339
3340 Changes since 3.0.1rc6
3341
3342- Don't allow a lease that's in the EXPIRED, RELEASED or RESET state
3343 to be renewed.
3344
3345- Implement lease stealing for cases where the primary has fewer leases
3346 than the secondary, as called for by the standard.
3347
3348- Add a fudge factor to the lease expiry acceptance code, (suggested
3349 by Kevin Miller of CMU).
3350
3351- Fix a bug in permit_list_match that made it much too willing to say
3352 that two permit lists matched.
3353
3354- Unless DEBUG_DNS_UPDATES is defined, print more user-friendly (and
3355 also more compact) messages about DNS updates.
3356
3357- Fix a bug in generating wire-format domain names for the FQDN option.
3358
3359- Fix a bug where the FQDN option would not be returned if the client
3360 requested it, contrary to the standard.
3361
3362- On Darwin, use the FreeBSD DHCP client script.
3363
3364- On NetBSD/sparc, don't check for casting warnings.
3365
3366- Add a flag in the DHCP client to disable updating the client's A
3367 record when sending an FQDN option indicating that the client is
3368 going to update its A record.
3369
3370- In the client, don't attempt a DNS update until one second after
3371 configuring the new IP address, and if the update times out, keep
3372 trying until a response, positive or negative, is received from the
3373 DNS server.
3374
3375- Fix an uninitialized memory bug in the DHCP client.
3376
3377- Apply some FreeBSD-specific bug fixes suggested by Murray Stokely.
3378
3379- Fix a bug in ns_parserr(), where it was returning the wrong sort
3380 of result code in some cases (suggested by Ben Harris of the
3381 NetBSD project).
3382
3383- Fix a bug in is_identifier(), where it was checking against EOF
3384 instead of the END_OF_FILE token (also suggested by Ben Harris).
3385
3386- Fix a bug where if an option universe contained no options, the
3387 DHCP server could dump core (Walter Steiner).
3388
3389- Fix a bug in the handling of encapsulated options.
3390
3391- Fix a bug that prevented NWIP suboptions from being processed.
3392
3393- Delete the FTS_BOOTP and FTS_RESERVED states and implement them
3394 as modifier flags to the FTS_ACTIVE state, as called for in the
3395 failover protocol standard.
3396
3397- Fix bugs in the pool merging code that resulted in references and
3398 dereferences of null pointers. This bug had no impact unless the
3399 POINTER_DEBUG flag was defined.
3400
3401- In the server, added a do-forward-updates flag that can be used to
3402 disable forward updates in all cases, so that sites that want the
3403 clients to take sole responsibility for updating their A record can
3404 do so.
3405
3406- Make it possible to disable optimization of PTR record updates.
3407
3408 Changes since 3.0.1rc5
3409
3410- Include some new documentation and changes provided by Karl Auer.
3411
3412- Add a workaround for some Lexmark printers that send a double-NUL-
3413 terminated host-name option, which would break DNS updates.
3414
3415- Fix an off-by-one error in the MAC-address checking code for
3416 DHCPRELEASE that was added in 3.0.1rc5.
3417
3418- Fix a bug where client-specific information was not being discarded
3419 from the lease when it expired or was released, resulting in
3420 problems if the lease was reallocated to a different client.
3421
3422- If more than one allocation pool is specified that has the same set
3423 of constraints as another allocation pool on the same shared
3424 network, merge the two pools.
3425
3426- Don't print an error in fallback_discard, since this just causes
3427 confusion and does not appear to be helping to encourage anyone to
3428 fix this bug.
3429
3430 Changes since 3.0.1rc4
3431
3432- Fix a bug that would cause the DHCP server to spin if asked to parse
3433 a certain kind of incorrect statement.
3434
3435- Fix a related bug that would prevent an error from being reported in
3436 the same case.
3437
3438- Additional documentation.
3439
3440- Make sure that the hardware address matches the lease when
3441 processing a DHCPRELEASE message.
3442
3443 Changes since 3.0.1rc3
3444
3445- A minor bug fix in the arguments to a logging function call.
3446- Documentation update for dhcpd.conf.
3447
adbef119 3448 Changes since 3.0.1rc2

DH
3449
3450- Allow the primary to send a POOLREQ message. This isn't what the current
3451 failover draft says to do, so we may have to back it out if I can't get the
3452 authors to relent, but the scheme for balancing that's specified in the
3453 current draft seems needlessly hairy, so I'm floating a trial balloon.
3454 The rc1 code did not implement the method described in the draft either.
3455
adbef119 3456 Changes since 3.0.1rc1
98311e4b
DH
3457
3458- Treat NXDOMAIN and NXRRSET as success when we are trying to delete a
3459 domain or RRSET. This allows the DHCP server to forget about a name
3460 it added to the DNS once it's been removed, even if the DHCP server
3461 wasn't the one that removed it.
3462
3463- Install defaults for failover maximum outstanding updates and maximum
3464 silent time. This prevents problems that might occur if these values
3465 were not configured.
3466
3467- Don't do DDNS deletes if ddns-update-style is none.
3468
3469- Return relay agent information options in DHCPNAK. This prevents DHCPNAK
3470 messages from being dropped when the relay agent information option contains
3471 routing information.
3472
3473- Fix a problem where coming up in recover wouldn't result in an update
3474 request being sent.
3475
3476- Add some more chatty messages when we start a recovery update and when it's
3477 done.
3478
3479- Fix a possible problem where some state might have been left around
3480 after the peer lost contact and regained contact about how many updates
3481 were pending.
3482
3483- Don't nix a lease update because of a lease conflict. This test has
3484 never (as far as I know) prevented a mistake, and it appears to cause
3485 problems with failover.
3486
3487- Add support in rc history code for keeping a selective history, rather
3488 than a history of all references and dereferences. This code is only used
3489 when extensive additional debugging is enabled.
3490
adbef119 3491 Changes since 3.0
98311e4b
DH
3492
3493- Make allocators for hash tables. As a side effect, this fixes a memory
3494 smash in the subclass allocation code.
3495
3496- Fix a small bug in omshell where if you try to close an object when
3497 no object is open, it dumps core.
3498
3499- Fix an obscure coredump that could occur on shutdown.
3500
3501- Fix a bug in the recording of host declaration rubouts in the lease file.
3502
3503- Fix two potential spins in the host deletion code.
3504
3505- Fix a core dump that would happen if an application tried to update
3506 a host object attribute with a null value.
3507
3508 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 12
3509
3510- Fix a memory leak in the evaluation code.
3511
3512- Fix an obscure core dump.
3513
3514- Print a couple of new warnings when parsing the configuration file
3515 when crucial information is left out.
3516
3517- Log "no free leases" as an error.
3518
3519- Documentation updates.
3520
3521 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 11
3522
3523- Always return a subnet selection option if one is sent.
3524
3525- Fix a warning that was being printed because an automatic data
3526 structure wasn't zeroed.
3527
3528- Fix some failover state transitions that were being handled
3529 incorrectly.
3530
3531- When supersede_lease is called on a lease whose end time has already
3532 expired, but for which a state transition has not yet been done, do
3533 a state transition. This fixes the case where if the secondary
3534 allocated a lease to a client and the lease "expired" while the
3535 secondary was in partner-down, no expiry event would actually
3536 happen, so the lease would remain active until the primary was
3537 restarted.
3538
3539 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 10
3540
3541- Fix a bug that was preventing released leases from changing state
3542 in failover-enabled pools.
3543
3544- Fix a core dump in the client identifier finder code (for host
3545 declarations).
3546
3547- Finish fixing a bug where bogus data would sometimes get logged to
3548 the dhclient.leases file because it was opened as descriptor 2.
3549
3550- Fix the Linux dhclient-script according to suggestions made by
3551 several people on the dhcp-client mailing list.
3552
3553- Log successful DNS updates at LOG_INFO, not LOG_ERROR.
3554
3555- Print an error message and refuse to run if a failover peer is
3556 defined but not referenced by any pools.
3557
3558- Correct a confusing error message in failover.
3559

TL
3572 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8 Patchlevel 1
3573
3574- Fix a parsing bug that broke dns updates (both interim and ad-hoc).
3575 This was introduced in rc8pl1 as an unintended result of the memory
3576 leakage fixes that were in pl1.
3577
3578- Fix a long-standing bug where the server would record that an update
3579 had been done for a client with no name, even though no update had
3580 been done, and then when the client's lease expired the deletion of
3581 that nonexistant record would time out because the name was the null
9a111ee8 3582 string.
d758ad8c
TL
3583
3584- Clean up the omshell, dhcpctl and omapi man pages a bit.

3588- Fix a bug that could cause the DHCP server to spin if
3589 one-lease-per-client was enabled.
3590
3591- Fix a bug that was causing core dumps on BSD/os in the presence of
3592 malformed packets.
3593
3594- In partner-down state, don't restrict lease lengths to MCLT.
3595
3596- On the failover secondary, record the MCLT received from the primary
3597 so that if we come up without a connection to the primary we don't
3598 wind up giving out zero-length leases.
3599
3600- Fix some compilation problems on BSD/os.
3601
3602- Fix a bunch of memory leaks.
3603
3604- Fix a couple of bugs in the option printer.
3605
3606- Fix an obscure error reporting bug in the dns update code, and also
3607 make the message clearer when a key algorithm isn't supported.
3608
3609- Fix a bug in the tracing code that prevented trace runs that used
3610 tcp connections from being played back.
3611
3612- Add some additional debugging capability for catching memory leaks
3613 on exit.
3614
3615- Make the client release the lease correctly on shutdown.
3616
3617- Add some configurability to the build system.
3618
3619- Install omshell manual page in man1, not man8.
3620
3621- Craig Gwydir sent in a patch that fixes a long-standing bug in the
3622 DHCP client that could cause core dumps, but that for some reason
3623 hadn't been noticed until now.
3624
3625 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 7
3626
3627- Fix a bug in failover where we weren't sending updates after a
3628 transition from communications-interrupted to normal.
3629
3630- Handle expired/released/reset -> free transition according to the
3631 protocol specification (this works - the other way not only wasn't
3632 conformant, but also didn't work).
3633
3634- Add a control object in both client and server that allows either
3635 daemon to be shut down cleanly.
3636
3637- When writing a lease, if we run out of disk space, shut down the
3638 output file and insist on writing a new one before proceeding.
3639
3640- In the server, if the OMAPI listener port is occupied, keep trying
3641 to get it, rather than simply giving up and exiting.
3642
3643- Support fetching variables from leases and also updating and adding
3644 variables to leases via OMAPI.
3645
3646- If two failover peers have wildly different clocks, refuse to start
3647 doing failover.
3648
3649- Fix a bug in the DNS update code that could cause core dumps when
3650 running on alpha processors.
3651
3652- Fixed a bug in ddns updates for static lease entries, thanks to a
3653 patch from Andrey M Linkevitch.
3654
3655- Add support for Darwin/MacOS X
3656
3657- Install omshell (including new documentation).
3658
3659- Support DNS updates in the client (this is a very obscure feature
3660 that most DHCP client users probably will not be able to use).
3661
3662- Somewhat cleaner status logging in the client.
3663
3664- Make OMAPI key naming syntax compatible with the way keys are
3665 actually named (key names are domain names).
3666
3667- Fix a bug in the lease file writer.
3668
3669- Install DHCP ISC headers in a different place than BIND 9 ISC
3670 headers, to avoid causing trouble in BIND 9 builds.
3671
3672- Don't send updates for attributes on an object when the attributes
3673 haven't changed. Support deleting attributes on remote objects.
3674
3675- Fix a number of bugs in omshell, and add the unset and refresh
3676 statements.
3677
3678- Handle disconnects in OMAPI a little bit more intelligently (so that
3679 the caller gets ECONNRESET instead of EINVAL).
3680
3681- Fix a bunch of bugs in the handling of clients that have existing
3682 leases when the try to renew their leases while failover is
3683 operating.
3684

TL
3685 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 6
3686
3687- Fix a core dump that could happen when processing a DHCPREQUEST from
3688 a client that had a host declaration that contained both a
3689 fixed-address declaration and a dhcp-client-identifier option
3690 declaration, if the client identifier was longer than nine bytes.
3691
3692- Fix a memory leak that could happen in certain obscure cases when
3693 using omapi to manipulate leases.
3694
3695- Fix some bugs and omissions in omshell.

TL
3697 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 5
3698
3699- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that prevented objects in
3700 chains from having their reference counts decreased on dereference.
3701
3702- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that would prevent object
3703 chains from being freed upon removal of the last reference external
3704 to the chain.
3705
3706- Fix a number of other memory leaks in the OMAPI protocol subsystem.
3707

3722 DHCPDECLINE.
3723
3724- Fix failover peer OMAPI support.
3725
3726- In failover, correctly handle expiration of leases. Previously,
3727 leases would never be reclaimed because they couldn't make the
3728 transition from EXPIRED to FREE.
3729
3730- Fix some broken failover state transitions.
3731
3732- Documentation fixes.
3733
3734- Take out an unnecessary check in DHCP relay agent information option
3735 stashing code that was preventing REBINDING clients from rebinding.
3736
3737- Prevent failover peers from allocating leases in DHCPREQUEST
3738 processing if the lease belongs to the other server.
3739
3740- Record server version in lease file introductory comment.
3741
3742- Correctly report connection errors in OMAPI and failover.
3743
3744- Make authentication signature algorithm name comparisons in OMAPI
3745 case-insensitive.
3746
3747- Fix compile problem on SunOS 4.x
3748
98311e4b 3749- If a signature algorithm is not terminated with '.', terminate it so
eaf0b302
TL
3750 that comparisons between fully-qualified names will work
3751 consistently.
3752
3753- Different SIOCGIFCONF probe code, may "fix" problem on some Linux
3754 systems with the probe not working correctly.

3760- Do lease billing on startup in a way that I *think* will finally do
3761 the billing correctly - the previous method could overbill as a
3762 result of duplicate leases.

3769 Herranz for figuring out the main problem.
3770

3772 core dumps.

3775 Friedrich.

3777- Fix a bug in lease billing, thanks to Jonas Bulow.
3778
3779 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 2
3780
3781- Change the conditions under which a DHCPRELEASE is actually
3782 committed to be consistent with lease binding states rather than
98311e4b 3783 using the lease end time. This may fix some problems with the
892fe689
TL
3784 billing class code.
3785
3786- Fix a bug where lease updates would fail on Digital Unix (and maybe
3787 others) because malloc was called with a size of zero.
3788
3789- Fix a core dump that happens when the DHCP server can't create its
3790 trace file.

79ea3de8 3792 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 1 Patchlevel 1
87784777 3793
79ea3de8
TL
3794- Fix the dhcp_failover_put_message to not attempt to allocate a
3795 zero-length buffer. Some versions of malloc() fail if you try to
3796 allocate a zero-length buffer, and this was causing problems on,
3797 e.g., Digital Unix.
3798
3799- Fix a case where the failover code was printing an error message
3800 when no error had occurred.
3801
3802- Fix a problem where when a server went down and back up again, the
3803 peer would not see a state transition and so would stay in the
3804 non-communicating state.
3805
3806- Be smart about going into recover_wait.
3807
3808- Fix a problem in the failover implementation where peers would fail
3809 to come into sync if interrupted in the RECOVER state. This could
3810 have been the cause of some problems people have reported recently.
3811
3812- Fix a problem with billing classes where they would not be unbilled
3813 when the client lease expired.
3814
3815- If select fails, figure out which descriptor is bad, and cut it out
3816 of the I/O loop. This prevents a potentially nasty spin. I
3817 haven't heard any report it in a while, but it came up consistently
3818 in testing.
3819
3820- Fix a bug in the relay agent where if you specified interfaces on
3821 the command line, it would fail.
3822
3823- Fix a couple of small bugs in the omapi connection object (no known
3824 user impact).
3825
3826- Add the missing 3.0 Beta 1 lease conversion script.
3827
3828- Read dhcp client script hooks if they exist, rather than only if
3829 they're executable.

3842 Compaq Alpha systems. This patchlevel is not a release candidate
3843 because of this bug. The bug should be straightforward to fix, so
3844 a new release candidate is expected shortly.

3850
3851- Went over problematic failover state transitions and made them all
3852 work, so that failover should now much less fragile.
3853
3854- Add some dhcpctl and omapi documentation
3855
3856- Fix compile errors when compiling with unusual predefines.
3857
3858- Make Token Ring work on Linux 2.4
3859
3860- Fix the Digital Unix BPF_WORDALIGN bug.
3861
3862- Fix some dhcp client documentation errors.
3863
3864- Update some parts of the README file.

3869
3870- Fix a bug in the DNS update code where a status code was not being
3871 checked. This may have been causing core dumps.
3872
3873- When parsing the lease file, if a lease declaration includes a
3874 billing class statement, and the lease already has a billing class,
3875 unbill the old class.
3876
3877- When processing failover transactions, where acks will be deferred,
3878 process the state transition immediately.
3879
3880- Don't try to use the new SIOCGIFCONF buffer size detection code on
3881 Linux 2.0, which doesn't provide this functionality.
3882
3883- Apply a patch suggested by Tuan Uong for a problem in dlpi.c.
3884
3885- Fix a problem in using the which command in the configure script.
3886
3887- Fix a parse error in the client when setting up an omapi listener.
3888
3889- Document the -n and -g flags to the client.
3890
3891- Make sure there is always a stdin and stdout on startup. This
3892 prevents shell scripts from accidentally writing error messages into
3893 configuration files that happen to be opened as stderr.
3894
3895- If an interface is removed, the client will now notice that it is
3896 gone rather than spinning. This has only been tested on NetBSD.
3897
3898- The client will attempt to get an address even if it can't create a
3899 lease file.
3900
3901- Don't overwrite tracefiles.
3902
3903- Fix some memory allocation bugs in failover.

3920- Fix a memory smash in the quotify code, which was introduced in
3921 pl19.
3922
3923- Actually fix the spin described in the changes for pl20. The
3924 previous fix only partially fixed the problem - enough to get it
3925 past the regression test.

3933 DHCPREQUEST.

3943- Allow the server to be placed in partner-down state using OMAPI.
3944 (Damien Neil)
3945
3946- Implement omshell, which can be used to do arbitrary things to the
3947 server (in theory). (Damien Neil)
3948
3949- Fix a case where if a client had two different leases the server could
3950 actually dereference the second one when it hadn't been referenced,
3951 leading to memory corruption and a core dump. (James Brister)
3952
3953- Fix a case where a client could request the address of another client's
3954 lease, but find_lease wouldn't detect that the other client had it, and
3955 would attempt to allocate it to the client, resulting in a lease conflict
3956 message.
3957
3958- Fix a case where a client with more than one client identifier could be
3959 given a lease where the hardware address was correct but the client
3960 identifier was not, resulting in a lease conflict message.
3961
98311e4b 3962- Fix a problem where the server could write out a colon-separated
3350f5b7
TL
3963 hex list as a value for a variable, which would then not parse.
3964 The fix is to always write strings as quoted strings, with any
3965 non-printable characters quoted as octal escape sequences. So
3966 a file written the old way still won't work, but new files written
3967 this way will work.
3968

TL
3969- Fix documentation for sending non-standard options.
3970
3971- Use unparsable names for unknown options. WARNING: this will
3972 break any configuration files that use the option-nnn convention.
3973 If you want to continue to use this convention for some options,
3974 please be sure to write a definition, like this:
3975
3976 option option-nnn code nnn = string;
3977
3978 You can use a descriptive name instead of option-nnn if you like.
3979
3980- Fix a problem where we would see a DHCPDISCOVER/DHCPOFFER/
3981 DHCPREQUEST/DHCPACK/DHCPREQUEST/DHCPNAK sequence. This was the
3982 result of a deceptively silly bug in supersede_lease.
3983
3984- Fix client script exit status check, according to a fix supplied by
3985 Hermann Lauer.

3988 messages.

TL
3997- Add support for transaction tracing. This allows the state of the
3998 DHCP server on startup, and all the subsequent transactions, to be
3999 recorded in a file which can then be played back to reproduce the
4000 behaviour of the DHCP server. This can be used to quickly
4001 reproduce bugs that cause core dumps or corruption, and also for
4002 tracking down memory leaks.
4003
4004- Incorporate some bug fixes provided by Joost Mulders for the DLPI
4005 package which should clear up problems people have been seeing on
4006 Solaris.
4007
4008- Fix bugs in the handling of options stored as linked lists (agent
4009 options, fqdn options and nwip options) that could cause memory
4010 corruption and core dumps.
4011
4012- Fix a bug in DHCPREQUEST handling that resulted in DHCPNAK messages
4013 not being send in some cases when they were needed.
4014
4015- Make the lease structure somewhat more compact.
4016
4017- Make initial failover startup *much* faster. This was researched
4018 and implemented by Damien Neil.
4019
4020- Add a --version flag to all executables, which prints the program
4021 name and version to standard output.

4038 would cause two DHCPDISCOVERS to be sent back-to-back on startup.

4057
4058- Finish fixing a long-standing bug in the agent options code. This
4059 was causing core dumps and failing to operate correctly - in
4060 particular, agent option stashing wasn't working. Agent option
4061 stashing should now be working, meaning that agent options can be
4062 used in class statements to control address allocation.
4063
4064- Fix up documentation.
4065
4066- Fix a couple of small memory leaks that would have added up
4067 significantly in a high-demand situation.
4068
4069- Add a log-facility configuration parameter.
4070
4071- Fix a compile error on some older operating systems.
4072
4073- Add the ability in the client to execute certain statements before
4074 transmitting packets to the server. Handy for debugging; not much
4075 practical use otherwise.
4076
4077- Don't send faked-out giaddr when renewing or bound - again, useful
4078 for debugging.

4081
4082- Fixed a problem where the fqdn decoder would sometimes try to store
4083 an option with an (unsigned) negative length, resulting in a core
4084 dump on some systems.
4085
4086- Work around the Win98 DHCP client, which NUL-terminates the FQDN
4087 option.
4088
4089- Work around Win98 and Win2k clients that will claim they want to do
4090 the update even when they don't have any way to do it.
4091
4092- Fix some log messages that can be printed when failover is operating
4093 that were not printing enough information.
4094
4095- It was possible for a DHCPDISCOVER to get an allocation even when
4096 the state machine said the server shouldn't be responding.
4097
4098- Don't load balance DHCPREQUESTs from clients in RENEWING and
4099 REBINDING, since in RENEWING, if we heard it, it's for us, and in
4100 REBINDING, the client wouldn't have got to REBINDING if its primary
4101 were answering.
4102
4103- When we get a bogus state lease binding state transition, don't do
4104 the transition.

4113- Albert Herranz tracked down and fixed a subtle bug in the base64
4114 decoder that would prevent any key with an 'x' in its base64
4115 representation from working correctly.
4116
4117- Thanks to Chris Cheney and Michael Sanders, we have a fix for the
4118 hang that they both spotted in the DHCP server - when
4119 one-lease-per-client was set, the code to release the "other" lease
4120 could spin.
4121
4122- Fix a problem with alignment of the input buffer in bpf in cases
4123 where two packets arrive in the same bpf read.
4124
4125- Fix a problem where the relay agent would crash if you specified an
4126 interface name on the command line.
4127
4128- Add the ability to conditionalize client behaviour based on the
4129 client state.
4130
4131- Add support for the FQDN option, and added support for a new way of
4132 doing ddns updates (ddns update style interim) that allows more than
4133 one DHCP server to update the DNS for the same network(s). This
4134 was implemented by Damien Neil with some additional functionality
4135 added by Ted Lemon.
4136
4137- Damien added a "log" statement, so that the configuration file can
4138 be made to log debugging information and other information.
4139
4140- Fixed a bug that caused option buffers not to be terminated with an
4141 end option.
4142
4143- Fixed a long-standing bug in the support for option spaces where the
4144 options are stored as an ordered list rather than in a hash table,
4145 which could theoretically result in memory pool corruption.
4146
4147- Prevent hardware declarations with no actual hardware address from
4148 being written as something unparsable, and behave correctly in the
4149 face of a null hardware address on input.
4150
4151- Allow key names to be FQDNs, and qualify the algorithm name if it is
4152 specified unqualified.
4153
4154- Modify the DDNS update code so that it never prints the "resolver
4155 failed" message, but instead says *why* the resolver failed.
4156
4157- Officially support the subnet selection option, which now has an
4158 RFC.
4159
4160- Fix a build bug on MacOS X.
4161

4180 options at renewal time.

4183 configuration language.

4188 done when no client hostname was received.

4190- Fix expression evaluation debugging printfs.
4191
4192- Teach pretty_print_option to print options in option spaces other than
4193 the DHCP option space.
4194
4195- Add a warning message if the RHS of a not is not boolean.
4196
4197- Never select for more than a day, because some implementations of
4198 select will just fail if the timeout is too long (!).
4199
4200- Fix a case where a DHCPDISCOVER from an unknown network would be
4201 silently dropped.
4202
4203- Fix a bug where if a client requested an IP address for which a different
4204 client had the lease, the DHCP server would reallocate it anyway.

4220- Fix a possible DoS attack where a client could cause the checksummer
4221 to dump core. This was a read, not a write, so it shouldn't be
4222 possible to exploit it any further than that.
4223
4224- Implement client- and server-side support for using the Client FQDN
4225 option.
4226
4227- Support for other option spaces in the client has been added. This
4228 means that it is now possible to define a vendor option space on the
4229 client, request options in that space from the server (which must
4230 define the same option space), and then use those options in the
4231 client. This also allows NWIP and Client FQDN options to be used
4232 meaningfully.
4233
4234- Add object initializer support. This means that objects can now be
4235 initialized to something other than all-zeros when allocated, which
4236 makes, e.g., the interface object support code a little more robust.
4237
4238- Fix an off-by-one bug in the host stuffer. This was causing host
4239 deletes not the work, and may also have been causing OMAPI
4240 connections to get dropped. Thanks to James Brister for tracking
4241 this one down!
4242
4243- Fixed a core dump in the interface discovery code that is triggered

4278 spawn with.

4281 potentially bogus leases into the in-memory database.
