DH
9ISC DHCP 4.2.x includes features that were not included in DHCP 4.1.x.
10These include:
37ec5845 11
98bf1607
SR
12Processing the DHCP to DNS server transactions in an asyncrhonous fashion.
13The DHCP server or client can now continue with it's processing while
14awaiting replies from the DNS server.
15
01a54c17
EH
16There are a number of DHCPv6 limitations and features missing in this
17release, which will be addressed in the future:
98bd7ca0 18
01a54c17 19- Only Solaris, Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD are supported.
3a16098f 20
adbef119
DH
21- DHCPv6 includes human-readable text in status code messages, in
22 English. A method to reconfigure or support other languages would
23 be preferrable.
98bd7ca0
DH
24
25- The "host-identifier" option is limited to a simple token.
26
98bd7ca0 27- The client and server can only operate DHCPv4 or DHCPv6 at a time,
45d545f0 28 not both. To use both protocols simultaneously, two instances of the
6de1f33e 29 relevant daemon are required, one with the '-6' command line option.

42 Changes since 4.2.1
43
44! In dhclient check the data for some string options for
45 reasonableness before passing it along to the script that
46 interfaces with the OS.
47 [ISC-Bugs #23722]
48 CVE: CVE-2011-0997

SR
50 Changes since 4.2.0
51
52- Documentation cleanup covering multiple tickets
53 [ISC-Bugs #20265] [ISC-Bugs #20259] minor cleanup
54 [ISC-Bugs #20263] add text describing some default values
55 [ISC-Bugs #20193] single quotes at the start of a line indicate a control
56 line to nroff, escape them if we actually want a quote.
57 [ISC-Bugs #18916] sync the pointer to web pages amongst the different docs
58
524705e5
DH
59- 'get-host-names true;' now also works even if 'use-host-decl-names true;'
60 was also configured. The nature of this repair also fixes another
61 error; the host-name supplied by a client is no longer overridden by a
62 reverse lookup of the lease address. Thanks to a patch from Wilco Baan
63 Hofman supplied to us by the Debian package maintenance team.
64 [ISC-Bugs #21691] {Debian Bug#509445}
65
f07d0fb5
DH
66- The .TH tag for the dhcp-options manpage was typo repaired
67 thanks to a report from jidanni and the Debian package maintenance
68 team. [ISC-Bugs #21676] {Debian Bug#563613}
69
d6645f56
SR
70- More documentation changes - primarily to put the options in the dhclient
71 and dhcpd man pages into the standard form. Thanks in part to a patch
72 from David Cantrell at Red Hat.
73 [ISC-Bugs #20264] and parts of [ISC-Bugs #17744] dhclient.8 changes
74
4a5098e9
SR
75- Add code to clear the pointer to an object in an OMAPI handle when the
76 object is freed due to a dereference. [ISC-Bugs #21306]
77
ea75d544
DH
78- Fixed a bug that leaks host record references onto lease structures,
79 causing the server to apply configuration intended for one host to any
80 other innocent clients that come along later. [ISC-Bugs #22018]
81
66be0ad1
SR
82- Minor code fixes
83 [ISC-Bugs #19566] When trying to find the zone for a name for ddns allow
84 the name to be at the apex of the zone.
85 [ISC-Bugs #19617] Restrict length of interface name read from command line
86 in dhcpd - based on a patch from David Cantrell at Red Hat.
87 [ISC-Bugs #20039] Correct some error messages in dhcpd.c
88 [ISC-Bugs #20070] Better range check on values when creating a DHCID.
89 [ISC-Bugs #20198] Avoid writing past the end of the field when adding
90 overly long file or server names to a packet and add a log message
91 if the configuration supplied overly long names for these fields.
92 Thanks to Martin Pala.
93 [ISC-Bugs #21497] Add a little more randomness to rng seed in client
94 thanks to a patch from Jeremiah Jinno.
95
57fbc772
SR
96- Correct error handling in DLPI [ISC-Bugs #20378]
97
98- Remove __sun__ and __hpux__ typedefs in osdep.h as they are now being
99 checked in configure. [ISC-Bugs #20443]
100
101- Modify how the cmsg header is allocated the v6 send and received routines
102 to compile on more compilers. [ISC-Bugs #20524]
103
104- When parsing a domain name free the memory for the name after we are
105 done with it. [ISC-Bugs #20824]
106
197c917e
SR
107- Add an elapsed time option to the release message and refactor the
108 code to move most of the common code to a single routine.
109 [ISC-Bugs #21171].
110
8bd445a1
DH
111- Two identical log messages for commit_leases() have been disambiguated.
112 [ISC-Bugs #18915]
113
83d409ae
SR
114- Parse date strings more properly - the code now handles semi-colons in
115 date strings correctly. Thanks to a patch from Jiri Popelka at Red Hat.
116 [ISC-Bugs #21501, #20598]
117
6aaaf6a4
SR
118- Fixes to lease input and output.
119 [ISC-Bugs #20418] - Some systems don't support the "%s" argument to
120 strftime, paste together the same string using mktime instead.
121 [ISC-Bugs #19596] - When parsing iaid values accept printable
122 characters.
123 [ISC-Bugs #21585] - Always print time values in omshell as hex
124 instead of ascii if the values happen to be printable characters.
125
4e0997c6
SR
126- Minor changes for scripts, configure.ac and Makefiles
127 [ISC-Bugs #19147] Use domain-search instead of domain-name in manual and
128 example conf file. Thanks to a patch from David Cantrell
129 at Red Hat.
130 [ISC-Bugs #19761] Restore address when doing a rebind in DHCPv6
131 [ISC-Bugs #19945] Properly close the quote on some arguments.
132 [ISC-Bugs #20952] Add 64 bit types to configure.ac
133 [ISC-Bugs #21308] Add "PATH=" to CLIENT_PATH envrionment variable
134
ad59838e
SR
135- Update the code to parse dhcpv6 lease files to accept a semi-colon at
136 the end of the max-life and preferred-life clauses. In order to be
137 backwards compatible with older lease files not finding a semi-colon
138 is also accepted. [ISC-Bugs #22303].
139
4dc5a6b1
SR
140! Handle a relay forward message with an unspecified address in the
141 link address field. Previously such a message would cause the
f33dc722
SR
142 server to crash. Thanks to a report from John Gibbons. [ISC-Bugs #21992]
143 CERT: VU#102047 CVE: CVE-2010-3611
144
8d50c721
DH
145- ./configure on longer searches for -lcrypto to explicitly link against.
146 This fixes a bug where 'dhclient' would have shared library dependencies
147 on '/usr/lib'. [ISC-Bugs #21967]
4dc5a6b1 148
3004baba
SR
149- Handle pipe failures more gracefully. Some OSes pass a SIGPIPE
150 signal to a process and will kill the process if the signal isn't
151 caught. This patch adds code to turn off the SIGPIPE signal via
152 a setsockopt() call. The signal is already being ignored as part
153 of the ISC library. [ISC-Bugs #22269]
154
42cbff63
SR
155- Restore printing of values in omshell to the style pre 21585. For
156 21585 we changed the print routines to always display time values
39196512
SR
157 as a hex list. This had a side effect of printing all data strings
158 as a hex list. We shall investigate other ways of displaying time
159 values more usefully. [ISC-Bugs #22626]
3004baba 160
9d97e644
SR
161! Fix the handling of connection requests on the failover port.
162 Previously a connection request from a source that wasn't
163 listed as a failover peer would cause the server to become
dbaa902c
SR
164 non-responsive. Thanks to a report from Brad Bendily, brad@bendily.com.
165 [ISC-Bugs #22679]
9d97e644
SR
166 CERT: VU#159528 CVE: CVE-2010-3616
167
23d39ae2
SR
168- Don't pass the ISC_R_INPROGRESS status to the omapi signal handlers.
169 Passing it through to the handlers caused the omshell program to fail
170 to connect to the server. [ISC-Bugs #21839]
171
172- Fix the paranthesis in the code to process configuration statements
173 beginning with "auth". The previous arrangement caused
174 "auto-partner-down" to be processed incorrectly. [ISC-Bugs #21854]
175
0c9d3a81
SR
176- Limit the timeout period allowed in the dispatch code to 2^^32-1 seconds.
177 Thanks to a report from Jiri Popelka at Red Hat.
178 [ISC-Bugs #22033], [Red Hat Bug #628258]
179
e1a40211
SR
180- When processing the format flags for a given option consume the
181 flag indicating an optional value correctly. A symptom of this
182 bug was an infinite loop when trying to parse the slp-service-scope
183 option. Thanks to a patch from Marius Tomaschewski.
184 [ISC-Bugs #22055]
185
e7e17397
SR
186- Disable the use of kqueue in the ISC library. This avoids a problem
187 between the fork and socket code that caused the dhcpd process to
188 use all available cpu if the program daemonized itself.
189 [ISC-Bugs #21911]
190
c8b189f1 191! When processing a request in the DHCPv6 server code that specifies
45918d36 192 an address that is tagged as abandoned (meaning we received a
c8b189f1
SR
193 decline request for it previously) don't attempt to move it from
194 the inactive to active pool as doing so can result in the server
e8f330a1 195 crashing on an assert failure. Also retag the lease as active
c8b189f1
SR
196 and reset it's timeout value.
197 [ISC-Bugs #21921]
198
ef86959b
SR
199- Removed the restriction on using IPv6 addresses in IPv4 mode. This
200 allows IPv4 options which contain IPv6 addresses to be specified. For
201 example the 6rd option can be specified and used like this:
202 [ISC-Bugs #23039]
203
204 option 6rd code 212 = { integer 8, integer 8,
205 ip6-address, array of ip-address };
206 option 6rd 16 10 2001:: 1.2.3.4, 5.6.7.8;
207
919f1407
SR
208- Handle some DDNS corner cases better. Maintain the DDNS transaction
209 information when updating a lease and cancel any existing transactions
210 when removing the ddns information.
211 [ISC-Bugs #23103]
212
8a0d9ca4
SR
213- Some fixes for LDAP
214 [ISC-Bugs #21783] - Include lber library when building ldap
215 [ISC-Bugs #22888] - Enable the ldap code when buidling common
216 The above fixes are from Jiri Popelka at Red Hat.
217
17a8f0e2
SR
218- Modify the dlpi code to accept getmsg() returning a positive value.
219 [ISC-Bugs #22824]
220
badc999d
SR
221 Changes since 4.2.0b2
222
223- Add declaration for variable in debug code in alloc.c. [ISC-Bugs #21472]
0d8c3d6e 224
1e05d095
SR
225 Changes since 4.2.0b1
226
d122accf
SR
227- Prohibit including lease time information in a response to a DHCP INFORM.
228 [ISC-Bugs #21092]
1e05d095 229
1943bbf8
SR
230! Accept a client id of length 0 while hashing. Previously the server would
231 exit if it attempted to hash a zero length client id, providing attackers
d122accf 232 with a simple denial of service attack. [ISC-Bugs #21253]
63ff896a 233 CERT: VU#541921 - CVE: CVE-2010-2156
1943bbf8 234
8a513c43
DH
235- A memory leak in ddns processing was closed. [ISC-Bugs #21377]
236
d122accf
SR
237- Modify the exception handling for initial context creation. Previously
238 we would try and clean up before exiting. This could present problems
239 when the cleanup required part of the context that wasn't available. It
240 also didn't do much as we exited afterwards anyway. Now we simply log
241 the error and exit. [ISC-Bugs #21093]
242
0d8c3d6e
DH
243- A bug was fixed that could cause the DHCPv6 server to advertise/assign a
244 previously allocated (active) lease to a client that has changed subnets,
245 despite being on different shared networks. Dynamic prefixes specifically
246 allocated in shared networks also now are not offered if the client has
247 moved. [ISC-Bugs #21152]
248
590298e7
SR
249- Add some debugging output for use with the DDNS code. [ISC-Bugs #20916]
250
600ee619 251- Fix the trace code to handle timing events better and to truncate a file
2b58b865
SR
252 before using instead of overwriting it. [ISC-Bugs #20969]
253
254- Modify the determination of the default TTL to use for DDNS updates.
255 The user may still configure the ttl via ddns-ttl. The default for
256 both v4 and v6 is now 1/2 the (preferred) lease time with a limit. The
257 previous defaults (1/2 lease time without a limit for v4 and a default
258 value for v6) may be used by defining USE_OLD_DDNS_TTL in site.h
259 [ISC-Bugs #21126]
600ee619 260
a5c7bf77
DH
261- libisc/libdns is now brought up to version 9.7.1rc1. This corrects
262 three reported flaws in ISC DHCP;
263
264 o DHCP processes (dhcpd, dhclient) fail to start if one of either the
265 IPv4 or IPv6 address families is not present. [ISC-Bugs #21122]
266
267 o Assertion failure when attempting to cancel a previously running DDNS
268 update. [ISC-Bugs #21133]
269
270 o Compilation failure of libisc/libdns due to the use of a flexible
271 array member. [ISC-Bugs #21316]
272
0585235c
SR
273 Changes since 4.2.0a2
274
275- Update the fsync code to work with the changes to the DDNS code. It now
276 uses a timer instead of noticing if there are no more packets to process.
277
f4bc8261
SR
278- When constructing the DNS name structure from a text string append
279 the root to relative names. This satisfies a requirement in the DNS
280 library that names be absolute instead of relative and prevents DHCP
d122accf 281 from crashing. [ISC-Bugs #21054]
f4bc8261 282
33692791
DH
283- "The LDAP Patch" that has been circulating for some time, written by
284 Brian Masney and S.Kalyanasundraram and maintained for application to
285 the DHCP-4 sources by David Cantrell has been included. Please be
286 advised that these sources were contributed, and do not yet meet the
287 high standards we place on production sources we include by default.
288 As a result, the LDAP features are only included by using a compile-time
289 option which defaults off, and if you enable it you do so under your
290 own recognizance. We will be improving this software over time.
291 [ISC-Bugs #17741]
292
3c941d42 293 Changes since 4.2.0a1
928618dd
DH
294
295- When using 'ignore client-updates;', the FQDN returned to the client
296 is no longer truncated to one octet.
297
3c941d42
DH
298- Cleaned up an unused hardware address variable in nak_lease().
299
bdd8e747
DH
300- Manpage entries for the ia-pd and ia-prefix options were updated to
301 reflect support for prefix delegation.
302
3da71461
SR
303- Cleaned up some compiler warnings
304
fdfebedf
DH
305- An optimization described in the failover protocol draft is now included,
306 which permits a DHCP server operating in communications-interrupted state
307 to 'rewind' a lease to the state most recently transmitted to its peer,
308 greatly increasing a server's endurance in communications-interrupted.
309 This is supported using a new 'rewind state' record on the dhcpd.leases
310 entry for each lease.
311
7aa153b8
SR
312- Fix the trace code which was broken by the changes to the DDNS code.
313
adbef119
DH
314 Changes since 4.1.0 (new features)
315
d340bc24
DH
316- Failover port configuration can now be left to defaults (port 647) as
317 described in the -12 revision of the Failover draft (and assigned by
4b97eaff 318 IANA). Thanks in part to a patch from David Cantrell at Red Hat.
adbef119 319
0829d595
DH
320- If configured, dhclient may now transmit to an anycast MAC address,
321 rather than using a broadcast address. Thanks to a patch from David
322 Cantrell at Red Hat.
323
8a3c1e33
PS
324- Added client support for setting interface MTU and metric, thanks to
325 Roy "UberLord" Marples <roy@marples.name>.
326
a41d7a25
PS
327- Added client -D option to specify DUID type to send.
328
9e3eb22a
DH
329- A new failover configuration parameter has been introduced for those
330 environments where DHCP servers can be reasonably guaranteed to be
331 "down" when the failover TCP socket is severed, "auto-partner-down".
332 This parameter is not generally safe, and by default is disabled, so
333 please carefully review the documentation of this parameter in the
334 dhcpd.conf(5) manpage before determining to use it yourself.
335
33ea4622
DH
336- Added a configuration function, 'gethostname()', which calls the system
337 function of the same name and presents the results as a data expression.
338 This function can be used to incorporate the system level hostname of
339 the system the DHCP software is operating on in responses or queries (such
340 as including a failover partner's hostname in a dhcp message or binding
341 scope, or having a DHCP client send any system hostname in the host-name or
342 FQDN options by default).
343
5a671e87
DH
344- The dhcp-renewal-time and dhcp-rebinding-time options may now be configured
345 for DHCPv4 operation and used independently of the dhcp-lease-time
346 calculations. Invalid renew and rebinding times (e.g., greater than the
347 determined lease time) are omitted.
348
98bf1607
SR
349- Processing the DHCP to DNS server transactions in an asyncrhonous fashion.
350 The DHCP server or client can now continue with it's processing while
351 awaiting replies from the DNS server.
c900c5b2
DH
352
353- The 'hardware [ethernet|etc] ...;' parameter in host records has been
354 extended to attempt to match DHCPv6 clients by the last octets of a
355 DUID-LL or DUID-LLT provided by the client.
356
59112e84
SR
357 Changes since 4.1.0 (bug fixes)
358
62f6843d
MA
359- Remove infinite loop in token_print_indent_concat().
360
59112e84
SR
361- Validate the argument to the -p option.
362
47e6eb82
DH
363- The notorious 'option <unknown> ... larger than buffer' log line,
364 which is seen in some malformed DHCP client packets, was modified.
365 It now logs the universe name, and does not log the length values
366 (which are bogus corruption read from the packet anyway). It also
367 carries a hopefully more useful explanation.
368
159c89d7
EH
369- Suppress spurious warnings from configure about --datarootdir
370
1aa0fe5e
DH
371- A bug was fixed that caused the server not to answer some valid Solicit
372 and Request packets, if the dynamic range covering any requested addresses
373 had been deleted from configuration.
374
cd51403d
SR
375- Update the code to deal with GCC 4.3. This included two sets of changes.
376 The first is to the configuration files to include the use of
571c38b0 377 AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS. The second is to deal with return values that
cd51403d
SR
378 were being ignored.
379
64e1823d
DH
380- The db-time-format option was documented in manpages.
381
26e59ee9
DH
382- Using reserved leases no longer results in 'lease with binding state
383 free not on its queue' error messages, thanks to a patch from Frode
384 Nordahl.
385
70ea9345
PS
386- Fix a build error in dhcrelay, using older versions of gcc with
387 dhcpv6 disabled.
388
8d7dca58 389- Two uninitialized stack structures are now memset to zero, thanks to a
4b97eaff 390 patch from David Cantrell at Red Hat.
819186b7 391
f4534b17
DH
392- Fixed a cosmetic bug where pretty-printing valid domain-search options would
393 result in an erroneous error log message ('garbage in format string').
394
f9453d21
DH
395- A bug in DLPI packet transmission (Solaris, HP/UX) that caused the server
396 to stop receiving packets is fixed. The same fix also means that the MAC
397 address will no longer appear 'bogus' on DLPI-based systems.
398
399- A bug in select handling was discovered where the results of one select()
400 call were discarded, causing the server to process the next select() call
401 and use more system calls than required. This has been repaired - the
402 sockets will be handled after the first return from select(), resulting in
403 fewer system calls.
404
a3dcc0b1
DH
405- The update-conflict-detection feature would leave an FQDN updated without
406 a DHCID (still currently implemented as a TXT RR). This would cause later
407 expiration or release events to fail to remove the domain name. The feature
408 now also inserts the client's up to date DHCID record, so records may safely
409 be removed at expiration or release time. Thanks to a patch submitted by
410 Christof Chen.

413 leak ~20-30 octets per DHCPDISCOVER packet while failover was in use

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

462- Secondary servers in a failover pair will now perform ddns removals if
463 they had performed ddns updates on a lease that is expiring, or was
464 released through the primary. As part of the same fix, stale binding scopes
465 will now be removed if a change in identity of a lease's active client is
466 detected, rather than simply if a lease is noticed to have expired (which it
467 may have expired without a failover server noticing in some situations).

605- A bug in subnet6 parsing where options contained in subnet6 clauses would
606 not be applied to clients addressed within that network was repaired.
607
608- When configuring a "subnet {}" or "subnet6 {}" without an explicit
609 shared-network enclosing it, the DHCP software would synthesize a
610 shared-network to contain the subnet. However, all configuration
611 parameters within the subnet more intuitively belong "to any client
612 on that interface", or rather the synthesized shared-network. So,
613 when a shared-network is synthesized, it is used to contain the
614 configuration present inside the subnet {} clause. This means that
615 the configuration will be valid for all clients on that network, not
616 just those addressed out of the stated subnet. If you intended the
617 opposite, the workaround is to explicitly configure an empty
618 shared-network.
619
620- A bug was fixed where Information-Request processing was not sourcing
621 configured option values.

01a54c17
EH
676- The dhclient-script was updated to create a host route for the default
677 gateway if the supplied subnet mask for an IPv4 address was a /32. This
678 allows the client to work in 'captive' network environments, where the
679 operator does not want clients to crosstalk directly.
680
681- MINUS tokens should be parseable again.
682
683- Multiple (up to "delayed-ack x;" maximum) DHCPv4 packets are now queued and
684 released in bursts after single fsync() events when the upper limit is
685 reached or if the receiving sockets go dry. The practical upshot is
686 that fsync-coupled server performance is now multiplicitively increased.
687 The default delayed ack limit is 28. Thanks entirely to a patch from
688 Christof Chen.

DH
724- The minimum site code value was set to 224 in 3.1.0 to track RFC3942. This
725 broke a lot of legacy site local configurations. The new code in place will
726 track site local space minimum option codes and logs a warning to encourage
727 updates and exploration of site local code migration problems. Option
728 codes less than 128 in site local spaces remain inaccessible.
729

731 initialization state may have been used to signal the relay agent
732 information options sub-option code for the 'END' of the option space.

738- When server is configured with options that it overrides, a warning is
739 issued when the configuration file is read, rather than at the time the

741 every time the option was overridden, which could create a lot of
742 unnecessary logging.

779- When addresses were passed as hints to the server in an IA, they were
780 incorrectly handled, sometimes being treated as an error. Now the
781 server will treat these as hints and ignore them if it cannot supply
782 a requested address.
783
703873ab

784- If the client had multiple addresses, and one expired (was not renewed
785 by the server), the client would continue to attempt to renew the same
786 old address over and over. Now, the client will omit any expired
787 addresses from future Confirm, Renew, or Rebind messages.
788
789- dhclient -6 will now select renew/rebind timers based upon the longest
790 address expiration time rather than the shortest expiration time, in
791 order to avoid cascading renewals in the event a server elects not to
792 extend one of multiple IAADDR leases.

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

858- sendmsg()/recvmsg() control buffers are now declared in such a way to
859 ensure they are correctly aligned on all (esp. 64-bit) architectures.

861- The client leasing subsystem was streamlined and corrected to account
862 more closely for changes in client link attachment selection.

763cba6b 865
884a458f
SK
866- The DHCP server no longer requires a "ddns-update-style" statement,
867 and now defaults to "none", which means DNS updates are disabled.

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

873 but would not return the address in response to a REQUEST. Thanks to
874 Dennis Kou for finding the bug.

880 "-Werror" (unused variable) rather than the actual test failure. Lead
881 to inconsistent and unworkable auto-configurations.

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

893- A core dump during expired lease cleanup has been repaired.
894
7285af30
DH
895- DDNS updates state information are now stored in 'binding scopes' that
896 follow the leases through their lifecycles. This enables DDNS teardowns
897 on leases that are assigned and expired inbetween a server restart (the
898 state is recovered from dhcpd.leases). Arbitrary user-specified binding
899 scopes ('set var = "value";') are not yet supported.

996- DHCPv4 is now the default (as documented) rather than DHCPv6. The default
997 was set to DHCPv6 to facilitate ease early development, and forgotten.

999- Corrected a segmentation violation in DHCPv4 socket processing.
1000
8ea19a71 1001- dhclient will now fork() into the background once it binds to an

98bd7ca0
DH
1013 Changes since 3.1.0 (NEW FEATURES)
1014
1015- DHCPv6 Client and Server protocol support. Use '-6' to run the daemons
1016 as v6-only. Use '-4' to run the daemons as v4-only (default. There is
1017 no support currently for both.
1018
1019- Server support for multiple IA_NA options, containing at most one
1020 IAADDR option.
1021
1022- Client support for one IA_NA option, containing any number of IAADDR
1023 options.
1024
1025- Server support for the DHCPv6 Information-request message.
1026
1027- Inappropriate unicast DHCPv6 messages sent to the server are now
1028 discarded, and this has rearchitected the IO system slightly.
1029
1030- The DHCPv6 server DUID defaults to type 1, is persistently stored in
1031 the leases database, and can be over-ridden (either completely, or by
1032 specifying type 1 or type 2).
1033
1034- The server only uses Rapid-Commit if it has been configured with the
1035 Rapid-Commit option and the client requests it.
1036
1037- DDNS support. We now update AAAA records in the same place we would
1038 update A records, if we have an IPv6 address. We also generate IP6.ARPA
1039 style names for PTR records if we're dealing with an IPv6 address. Both
1040 A and AAAA updates are done using the same 'fqdn.' virtual option space
1041 (although the DHCPv4 FQDN and DHCPv6 FQDN options are formatted
1042 differently, they both use the same code here).
1043
1044- The Linux dhclient-script attempts to set and remove assigned addresses,
1045 and to configure /etc/resolv.conf from nameserver and domain name
1046 configurations. It can be extended to configure other parameters.
1047
1048- Initial DHCPv6 lease support.
1049
1050- The IO system now tracks all local IP addresses, so that the DHCP
1051 applications (particularly the dhcrelay) can discern between what frames
1052 were transmitted to it, and what frames are being carried through it which
1053 it should not intercept.
1054

DH
1055 Changes since 3.1.0 (Maintenance)
1056
1057- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for virgin leases always
1058 mapped to the primary. Virgin leases now have an interleaved preference
1059 between primary and secondary.
1060
1061- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for clients with no client
1062 identifier was sometimes mishashed to the peer. Load balancing during
1063 runtime and pool rebalancing were opposing.
1064
aa3e348e
DH
1065- An assertion in lease counting relating to reserved leases was repaired.
1066
e9c59645
DH
1067- The subnet-mask option inclusion now conforms with RFC2132 section 3.3;
1068 it will only appear prior to the routers option if it is present on the
1069 Parameter-Request-List. The subnet-mask option will also only be
1070 included by default (if it is not on the PRL) in response to DISCOVER
1071 or REQUEST messages.
1072
1073- The FQDN option is only supplied if the client supplied an FQDN option or
1074 if the FQDN option was explicitly requested on the PRL.

a512cc3a
DH
1083 Changes since 3.1.0b2
1084
1085- Failover rebalance events no longer play ping pong with round errors
1086 (moving leases between free and back to backup where there are an
1087 odd number of leases).
1088
1089- The 'pool' log line has been split into two messages, one before the
1090 rebalance run, and one after.
1091
1092- Any queued BNDACKs are transmitted before transmitting new BNDUPDs.
1093 This enforces the correct sequence of events for the remote server
1094 processing these messages.
1095
fe5b0fdd 1096 Changes since 3.1.0b1

1099 objects.
1100
1ba87b37
EH
1101- A new server config option "fqdn-reply" specifies whether the server
1102 should send out option 81 (FQDN). Defaults to "on". If set to "off",
1103 the FQDN option is not sent, even if the client requested it. This is
1104 needed because some clients misbehave otherwise. Thanks to Christof Chen
1105 at Allianz.

a58da042
EH
1107- Allow trace output files (-tf option) to be overwritten, rather than
1108 crashing dhcpd if the file already exists

1110- A bug was fixed that caused dhcpd to segfault if a pool was declared
1111 outside the scope of a subnet in dhcpd.conf.

DH
1113- Some uninitialized values were repaired in dhcpleasequery.c that
1114 caused the server to abort.
1115
4d2eaafb
DH
1116- A new server config option, 'do-reverse-updates', has been added
1117 which causes the server to abstain from performing updates on PTR
1118 records. Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen at Allianz.

DH
1120- A bug was repaired in subencapsulation support, where spaces separated
1121 by empty spaces would not get included.
1122

DH
1123- A bug in dhclient was repaired which caused it to send parameter request
1124 lists of 55 bytes in length no matter how long the declared PRL was.
1125
132d38f2
DH
1126- 'dhcp.c(3953): non-null pointer' has been repaired. This fixes a flaw
1127 wherein the DHCPv4 server may ignore a configured server-identifier.
1128
fc3b9c90
DH
1129- A flaw in failover startup sequences was repaired that sometimes left
1130 the primary DHCP server's pool rebalance schedules unscheduled.

1150 hash table was repaired.
1151
616d67cb
DH
1152- The servers now try harder to transmit pending binding updates when
1153 entering normal state.
1154
1155- UPDREQ/UPDREQALL handling was optimized - it no longer dequeues and
1156 requeues all pending updates. This should reduce the number of spurious
66c8f734
DH
1157 'xid mismatch' log messages.
1158
1159- An option definition referencing leak was fixed, which resulted in early
1160 termination of dhclient upon the renewal event.
616d67cb 1161
6708d944
DH
1162- Some default hash table sizes were tweaked, some upwards, some downwards.
1163 3.1.0a1's tables resulted in a reduction in default server memory use.
1164 The new selected values provide more of a zero sum (increasing the size
1165 of tables likely to be populated, decreasing the size of tables unlikely).
1166
45d545f0 1167- Lease structures appear in three separate hashes: by IP address, by UID,
6708d944
DH
1168 and by hardware address. One type of table was used for all three, and
1169 improvements to IP address hashing were applied to all three (so UID and
1170 hardware addresses were treated like 4-byte integers). There are now two
1171 types of tables, and the uid/hw hashes use functions more appropriate
1172 to their needs.
1173
1174- The max-lease-misbalance percentage no longer causes scheduled rebalance
1175 runs to be skipped: it still governs the schedule, but every scheduled
1176 run will attempt balance.
1177
a7ee93fe
DH
1178- A segfault bug in recursive encapsulation support has been corrected.
1179
98311e4b
DH
1180 Changes since 3.0 (New Features)
1181
1182- A workaround for certain STSN servers that send a mangled domain-name
1183 option was introduced for dhclient. The client will now accept corrupted
1184 server responses, if they contain a valid DHCP_MESSAGE_TYPE (OFFER, ACK,
1185 or NAK). The server will continue to not accept corrupt client packets.
1186
98bd7ca0 1187- Support for 'reserved' (pseudo-static) and BOOTP leases via failover
a55ccdd0 1188 was introduced.
98311e4b
DH
1189
1190- Support for adding, removing, and managing class and subclass statements
1191 via OMAPI.
1192
a55ccdd0
DH
1193- The failover implementation was updated to comply with revision 12 of
1194 the protocol draft.
1195
98311e4b
DH
1196- 'make install' now creates the initial zero-length dhcpd.leases file if
1197 one does not already exist on the system.
1198
b43c87ad 1199- RFC3942 compliance, site-local option spaces start at 224 now, not 128.
b43c87ad 1200
0b17f049
DH
1201- The Load Balance Algorithm was misimplemented. The current implementation
1202 matches RFC 3074.
1203
2727c1cf
DH
1204- lcase() and ucase() configuration expressions have been added which adjust
1205 their arguments from upper to lower and lower to upper cases respectively.
2714a8ef 1206 Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
2727c1cf 1207
febbd402
DH
1208- The dhclient 'reject ...;' statement, which rejects leases given by named
1209 server-identifiers, now permits address ranges to be specified in CIDR
7d7073e7 1210 notation. Thanks to a patch from David Boyce.
febbd402 1211
ee912528
DH
1212- The subnet-mask option is now supplied by default, but at lowest
1213 priority. This helps a small minority of clients that provide parameter
1214 request lists, but do not list the subnet-mask option because they were
1215 designed to interoperate with a server that behaves in this manner.
1216
1217- The FQDN option is similarly supplied even if it does not appear on the
1218 parameter request list, but not to the exclusion of options that do
1219 appear at the parameter request list. Up until now it had ultimate
1220 priority over the client's parameter request list.
1221
f7fdb216 1222- Varying option space code and length bit widths (8/16/32) are now
51202707 1223 supported. This is a milestone in achieving RFC 3925 "VIVSO" and
f7fdb216
DH
1224 DHCPv6 support.
1225
5e864416
DH
1226- A new common (server or client) option, 'db-time-format local;', has
1227 been added which prints the local time in /var/db/dhcpd.leases rather
1228 than UTC. Thanks to a patch from Ken Lalonde.
1229
b500bd4c
DH
1230- Some patches to improve DHCP Server startup speed from Andrew Matheson
1231 have been incorporated.
1232
2426234f
DH
1233- Failover pairs now implement 'MAC Affinity' on leases moving from the
1234 active to free states. Leases that belonged to the failover secondary
1235 are moved to BACKUP state rather than FREE upon exiting EXPIRED state.
1236 If lease rebalancing must move leases, it tries first to move leases
1237 that belong to the peer in need.
1238
1239- The server no longer sends POOLREQ messages unless the pool is severely
1240 misbalanced in the peer's favor (see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more details).
1241
1242- Pool rebalance events no longer happen upon successfully allocating a
1243 lease. Instead, they happen on a schedule. See 'man dhcpd.conf' for the
1244 min-balance and max-balance statements for more information.
1245
334bf491
DH
1246- The DHCP Relay Agent Information Option / Link Selection Sub-Option
1247 is now supported. (See RFC3527 for details).
1248
3004bebf
DH
1249- A new DDNS related server option, update-conflict-detection, has been
1250 added. If this option is enabled, dhcpd will perform normal DHCID
1251 conflict resolution (the default). If this option is disabled, it will
1252 instead trust the assigned name implicitly (removing any other bindings
1253 on that name). This option has not been made available in dhclient.
1254
567e8561
DH
1255- In those cases where the DHCP software manufactures an IP header (to
1256 transmit via bpf, lpf, etc), the IP TTL the software selects has been
1257 increased from 16 to 128. This is intended to match Microsoft Windows
1258 DHCP Client behaviour, to increase compatibility.
1259
a396d25f
DH
1260- 'ignore client-updates;' now has behaviour that is different from
1261 'deny client-updates;'. The client's request is not truly ignored,
1262 rather it is encouraged. Should this value be configured, the server
1263 updates DNS as though client-updates were set to 'deny'. That is, it
1264 enters into DNS whatever it is configured to do already, provided it is
1265 configured to. Then it sends a response to the client that lets the
1266 client believe it is performing client updates (which it will), probably
1267 for a different name. In essence, this lets the client do as it will,
1268 ignoring this aspect of their request.
1269
dba5803b
DH
1270- Support for compressed 'domain name list' style DHCP option contents, and
1271 in particular the domain search option (#119) was added.
1272
41e45067 1273- The DHCP LEASEQUERY protocol as defined in RFC4388 is now implemented.
6d103865
SK
1274 LEASEQUERY lets you query the DHCP server for information about a lease,
1275 using either an IP address, MAC address, or client identifier. Thanks
1276 to a patch from Justin Haddad.
1277
41e45067
DH
1278- DHCPD is now RFC2131 section 4.1 compliant (broadcast to all-ones ip and
1279 ethernet mac address) on the SCO platform specifically without any strange
1280 ifconfig hacks. Many thanks go to the Kroger Co. for donating the
1281 hardware and funding the development.
6d103865 1282
b543fea9

1283- A new common configuration executable statement, execute(), has been
1284 added. This permits dhcpd or dhclient to execute a named external
1285 program with command line arguments specified from other configuration
1286 language. Thanks to a patch written by Mattias Ronnblom, gotten to us
1287 via Robin Breathe.

1289- A new dhcp server option 'adaptive-lease-time-threshold' has been added
1290 which causes the server to substantially reduce lease-times if there are
1291 few (configured percentage) remaining leases. Thanks to a patch submitted
1292 from Christof Chen.

1304- Assorted fixes for broken network devices: Packet length is now
1305 determined from the IP header length field to finally calculate the
1306 UDP payload length, because some NIC drivers return more data than
5a22eb63 1307 they actually received.

1311- A logic error in omapi interface code was repaired that might result in
1312 incorrectly indicating 'up' state when any flags were set, rather than

1321- In the case where an "L2" DHCP Relay Agent (one that does not set giaddr)
1322 was directly attached to the same broadcast domain as the DHCP server,
1323 the RFC3046 relay agent information option was not being returned to the
1324 relay in the server's replies. This was fixed; the dhcp server no longer
1325 requires the giaddr to reply with relay agent information. Note that
1326 this also improves compatibility with L2 devices that "intercept" DHCP
1327 packets and expect relay agent information even in unicast (renewal)

1348- Some bugs were fixed in the 'emergency relay agent options hologram'
1349 which is used to retain relay agent option contents from when the
1350 client was in INIT or REBIND states. This should solve problems where
1351 relay agent options were not echoed from the server, even when giaddr
1352 was set.

DH
1357- The server's "by client-id" and "by hardware address" hash table lists
1358 are now sorted according to the preference to re-allocate that lease to
1359 returning clients. This should eliminate pool starvation problems
1360 arising when "INIT" clients were given new leases rather than presently
1361 active ones.

SK
1366 dhclient-script with the 'EXPIRE' state should it receive a NAK in
1367 response to a REQUEST. The client now iterates the PREINIT state
1368 after the EXPIRE state, so that interfaces that might be configured
1369 'down' can be brought back 'up' and initialized.

1379- The default minimum lease time (if min-lease-time was not specified)
1380 was raised from 0 to 300. 0 is not thought to be sensible, and is
1381 known to be damaging.
1382

1384 state count calculations (free/active counts used for failover pool
1385 balancing).

DH
1387- Some time value size fixes in 3.0.4 brought on from FreeBSD /usr/ports were

1399- If the dhclient were to receive a DHCPNAK while it was in the RENEW
1400 state (and consequently, had an active, 'bound' address and related
1401 configuration options), it would fail to 'tear down' this information
1402 before proceeding into INIT state. dhclient now iterates the dhclient-
1403 script with the 'EXPIRE' action to cause these teardowns prior to entering
1d3bfb17 1404 INIT state. Thanks to a patch from Chris Zimmerman.

2178df03
DH
1424- Host declaration hardware addresses and client identifiers may only be

SK
1429- Several option codes that have been allocated since our last release
1430 have been named and documented.
1431
1432- Option names of the form "unknown-123" have been removed from the in-
1433 memory hash tables. In order to support options of these names that
1434 may appear in dhclient.leases or similar in previous versions, the
1435 parser will now find the new option code definition, or mock up a
1436 generic option code definition. This should result in a smooth
1437 transition from one name to the other, as the new name is used to
1438 write new output.

1451
45d545f0 1452- Null-termination sensing for certain clients that unfortunately require
88cd8aca
DH
1453 it in DHCPINFORM processing was repaired.
1454
1455- The host-name option and a few others were moved from "X" format to "t"
1456 format to be compatible with new NULL handling functions.
1457
1458- DHCPINFORM processing is a little more careful about return addressing
1459 its responses, or if responding via a relay. The INFORM related
1460 messages also log the 'effective client ip address' rather than the
1461 client's supplied ciaddr (since some clients produce null ciaddrs).
1462
1463- The server was inappropriately sending leases to the RESET state in the
1464 event that multiple active leases were found to match a singly-identified
1465 client. This was changed to RELEASED (by accepting a different, ACTIVE
1466 binding, the client is implicitly releasing its lease). This repairs a
1467 bug wherein secondary servers in failover pairs detecting this condition
1468 move leases to RESET, and primaries refuse to accept that state
1469 transition (properly).
1470
1471- The memset-after-dmalloc() changes made in 3.0.4b1 have been backed out.
1472
1473 Changes since 3.0.4b1
1474
1475- Command line parsing in omshell was repaired - it no longer closes
1476 STDIN after reading one line.
1477
1478- The resolver library no longer closes the /etc/resolv.conf file
1479 descriptor it opened twice.
1480
1481- Changes to trailing NULL removal in 't' option-atoms has been rethought,
1482 it now includes 'd' (domain name) types, and tries hard not to rewind an
1483 option beyond the start of the text field it is un-terminating.
1484
1485 Changes since 3.0.3
1486
1487- A DDNS update handling function was misusing the DNS error codes, rather
1488 than the internal generic result enumeration. The result is a confusing
1489 syslog line, logging the wrong condition.
1490
1491- The DHCP Server was not checking pool balance in the case where it brought
1492 a non-ACTIVE lease out of storage for a client that was returning to use
1493 a lease it once had long ago, and had since expired.
1494
1495- Failover peers no longer bother to look for free leases to allocate when
1496 they already found the client's ACTIVE lease. DISCOVERs are load balanced
98bd7ca0 1497 whether freely-allocated or not, unless the server doubts the peer has
88cd8aca
DH
1498 leases to allocate.
1499
1500- Fixed a bug in dhcrelay agent addition code that suppressed trailing
45d545f0 1501 PAD options - it was suppressing only one trailing PAD option, rather
88cd8aca
DH
1502 than the entire block of them.
1503
3a16098f
DH
1504! Fixed some unlikely overlapping-region memcpy() bugs in dhcrelay agent
1505 option addition and stripping code. Added a few sanity checks. Although
1506 highly improbable, due to requiring the reception of a DHCP datagram well
1507 in excess of all known to be used physical MTU limitations, it is possible
1508 this may have been used in a stack overflow security vulnerability. Thanks
1509 to a patch from infamous42md.
1510
1511! Added some sanity checks to OMAPI connection/authentication code.
1512 Although highly improbable, due to having to deliver in excess of 2^32
1513 bytes of data via the OMAPI channel, not to mention requiring dhcpd to
1514 be able to malloc() a memory region 2^32 bytes in size, it was possible
1515 this might have resulted in a heap overflow security vulnerability.
1516 Thanks to a patch from infamous42md.
88cd8aca
DH
1517
1518- dmalloc() memset()'s the non-debug (data) portion of the allocated
1519 memory to zero. Code that memset()'s the result returned by dmalloc() to
1520 zero is redundant. These redundancies were removed.
1521
1522- Some type declaration corrections to u_int16_t were made in common/tr.c
4b97eaff 1523 (Token Ring support) thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
88cd8aca
DH
1524
1525- A failover bug that was allowing leases that EXPIRED or were RELEASED
1526 where tsfp and tstp are identical timestamps to languish in these
1527 transitional states has been repaired. As a side effect, lease
1528 databases should be kept more consistent overall, not just for these
1529 transitional states.
1530
1531- If the lease db is deleted out from under the daemon, and it moves to rewrite
1532 the db, it will go ahead with the operation and move the new db into place
1533 once it detects the old db does not exist.
1534
1535- dhclient now ignores IRDA, SIT, and IEEE1394 network interfaces, as it
1536 is either nonsensical or (in the case of IEEE1394) is not known to support
1537 these interfaces. Thanks to Marius Gedminas and Andrew Pollock of Debian.
1538
1539- Some previously undocumented reasons for dhclient-script invoking has
45d545f0 1540 been documented in the dhclient-script.8 manpage.

DH
1541
1542- Failover potential expiry calculations (TSTP) have been corrected. Results
1543 should be substantially more consistent, and proper given the constraints.
1544
1545- Adjusted lease state validation checks in potential-conflict, to
1546 account for possible clock skew similarly to normal state, and several
1547 previously illegal transitions were made legal (ex: active->released).
1548
1549- An impossible sanity check was removed from omapi/buffer.c, thanks to a
1550 patch from 'infamous42md'.
1551
1552- An OMAPI host/network byte order problem in lease time values has been
1553 repaired.
1554
1555- Several minor bugs, largely relating to treating 8-byte time values as
1556 4-byte entities, have been repaired after careful review of the FreeBSD
1557 ports collection's patch set. Thanks to the nameless entities who have
1558 contributed to the FreeBSD ports.
1559
1560- When writing a trace file, the file is now created with permissions 0600,
1561 to help administrators avoid accidentally publicising sensitive config
1562 data.
1563
1564- The calculation of the maximum size of DHCP packets no longer includes
1565 Ethernet framing overhead. The result is that the 'Maximum Message
1566 Size' option advertised by clients, or the default value 576, is no
1567 longer reduced by 14 bytes, and instead directly reflects the IP level
1568 MTU (and the default, minimum allowed IP MTU of 576).
1569
1570- The special status of RELEASED/EXPIRED/RESET leases when a server
1571 is operating in partner-down was fixed. It no longer requires a
1572 lease be twice the MCLT beyond STOS to 'reallocate', and the expiry
1573 event to turn these into FREE leases without peer acknowledgement
1574 (after STOS+MCLT) has been repaired.
1575
1576- Compilation on older Solaris systems (lacking /usr/include/sys/int_types.h)
1577 has been repaired.
1578
1579- "append"ing a string onto the end of a "t" type option (such as the
1580 domain-name field) that had been improperly NULL-terminated by the
1581 DHCP server will no longer result in a truncated string containing
1582 only the option from the server, and not the expected appended value.
4b97eaff 1583 Thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
88cd8aca
DH
1584
1585- File handlers on configuration state (config files and lease dbs) should
98bd7ca0 1586 be treated consistently, regardless of whether TRACING is defined or not.
88cd8aca 1587
45d545f0 1588- The Linux build environment has had some minor improvements - better
88cd8aca
DH
1589 sensing of 64-bit pointer sizes (only used for establishing an icmp_id),
1590 and corrections to #if operators regarding LINUX_MAJOR should it ever
1591 move to 3.[01].x.
1592
1593- The server now tries harder to survive the condition where it is unable
1594 to open a new lease file to rewrite the lease state database.

1598- dhclient.conf documentation for interface {} was updated to reflect recent
1599 discussion on the dhcp-hackers mailing list.
1600
1601- In response to reports that the software does not compile on GCC 4.0.0,
1602 -Werror was removed from Makefile.conf for all platforms that used it.
1603 We will address the true problem in a future release; this is a temporary
1604 workaround.
1605
1606 Changes since 3.0.3b2
1607
1608- An error in code changes introduced in 3.0.3b2 was corrected, which caused
1609 static BOOTP clients to receive random addresses.
1610
1611 Changes since 3.0.3b1
1612
1613- A bug was fixed in BOOTPREQUEST handling code wherein stale references to
1614 host records would be left behind on leases that were not allocated to the
1615 client currently booting (eg in the case where the host was denied booting).
1616
1617- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated to be more clear in regards to
1618 multiple host declarations (thanks to Vincent McIntyre). 'Interim' style
1619 dynamic updates were also retouched.

1621 Changes since 3.0.2
1622
1623- A bug was fixed where a server might load balance a DHCP REQUEST to its
45d545f0 1624 peer after already choosing not to load balance the preceding DISCOVER.
98311e4b
DH
1625 The peer cannot allocate the originating server's lease.
1626
1627- In the case where a secondary server lost its stable storage while the
1628 primary was still in communications-interrupted, and came back online,
1629 the lease databases would not be fully transferred to the secondary.
1630 This was due to the secondary errantly sending an extra UPDREQ message
1631 when the primary made its state transition to PARTNER-DOWN known.
1632
1633- The package will now compile cleanly in gcc 3.3 and 3.4. As a side effect,
1634 lease structures will be 9 bytes smaller on all platforms. Thanks to
4b97eaff 1635 Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
1636
1637- Interface discovery code in DISCOVER_UNCONFIGURED mode is now
1638 properly restricted to only detecting broadcast interfaces. Thanks
4b97eaff 1639 to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
1640
1641- decode_udp_ip_header was changed so that the IP address was copied out
1642 to a variable, rather than referenced by a pointer. This enforces 4-byte
1643 alignment of the 32-bit IP address value. Thanks to a patch from Dr.
1644 Peter Poeml.
1645
1646- An incorrect log message was corrected thanks to a patch from
1647 Dr. Peter Poeml.
1648
1649- A bug in DDNS was repaired, where if the server's first DDNS action was
1650 a DDNS removal rather than a DDNS update, the resolver library's
1651 retransmit timer and retry timer was set to the default, implying a
1652 15 second timeout interval. Which is a little excessive in a synchronous,
1653 single-threaded system. In all cases, ISC DHCP should now hold fast to
1654 a 1-second timeout, trying only once.
1655
1656- The siaddr field was being improperly set to the server-identifier when
1657 responding to DHCP messages. RFC2131 clarified the siaddr field as
1658 meaning the 'next server in the bootstrap process', eg a tftp server.
1659 The siaddr field is now left zeroed unless next-server is configured.
1660
1661- mockup_lease() could have returned in an error condition (or in the
1662 condition where no fixed-address was found matching the shared
1663 network) with stale references to a host record. This is probably not
1664 a memory leak since host records generally never die anyway.
1665
1666- A bug was repaired where failover servers would let stale client identifiers
1667 persist on leases that were reallocated to new clients not sending an id.
1668
1669- Binding scopes ("set var = value;") are now removed from leases allocated
1670 by failover peers if the lease had expired. This should help reduce the
1671 number of stale binding scopes on leases.
1672
1673- A small memory leak was closed involving client identifiers larger than
1674 7 bytes, and failover.
1675
1676- Configuring a subnet in dhcpd.conf with a subnet mask of 32 bits might
1677 cause an internal function to overflow heap. Thanks to Jason Vas Dias
4b97eaff 1678 at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
1679
1680- Some inconsistencies in treating numbers that the lexer parsed as 'NUMBER'
1681 or 'NUMBER_OR_NAME' was repaired. Hexadecimal parsing is affected, and
1682 should work better.
1683
1684- In several cases, parse warnings were being issued before the lexical
1685 token had been advanced to the token whose value was causing an error...
1686 causing parse warnings to claim the problem is on the wrong token.
1687
1688- Host declarations matching on client identifier for dynamic leases will
1689 no longer match fixed-address host declarations (this is now identical
1690 to behaviour for host records matching on hardware address).
1691
1692 Changes since 3.0.2rc3
1693
1694- A previously undocumented configuration directive, 'local-address',
1695 was documented in the dhcpd.conf manpage.
1696
1697 Changes since 3.0.2rc2
1698
45d545f0 1699- Two variables introduced in 3.0.2b1 were used without being initialized
98311e4b
DH
1700 in the case where neither the FILE nor SNAME fields were available for
1701 overloading. This was repaired.
1702
1703- A heretofore believed to be impossible corner case of the option
1704 overloading implementation turned out to be possible ("Unable to sort
1705 overloaded options after 10 tries."). The implementation was reworked
1706 to consider the case of an option so large it would require more than
1707 three chunks to fit.
1708
1709- Many other instances of variables being used without being initialized
1710 were repaired.
1711
1712- An uninitialized variable in omapi_io_destroy() led to the discovery
1713 that this function may result in orphaned pointers (and hence, a memory
1714 leak).
1715
1716 Changes since 3.0.2rc1
1717
1718- allocate_lease() was rewritten to repair a bug in which the server would
1719 try to allocate an ABANDONED lease when FREE leases were available.

1727- A bug was fixed in the server's 'option overloading' implementation,
1728 where options loaded into the 'file' and 'sname' packet fields were
1729 not aligned precisely as rfc2131 dictates.
1730
1731- The FreeBSD client script was changed to support the case where a domain
1732 name was not provided by the server.
1733
1734- A memory leak in 'omshell' per each command line parsed was
1735 repaired, thanks to a patch from Jarkko Torppa.
1736
1737- Log functions writing to stderr were adjusted to use the STDERR_FILENO
1738 system definition rather than '2'. This is a no-op for 90% of platforms.
1739
1740- One call to trace_write_packet_iov() counted the number of io vectors
1741 incorrectly, causing inconsistent tracefiles. This was fixed.
1742
1743- Some expression parse failure memory leaks were closed.
1744
1745- A host byte order problem in tracefiles was repaired.
1746
1747- Pools configured in DHCPD for failover possessing permission lists that
1748 previously were assumed to not include dyanmic bootp clients are now
1749 a little more pessimistic. The result is, dhcpd will nag you about just
1750 about most pools that possess a 'allow' statement with no 'deny' that
1751 would definitely match a dynamic bootp client.
1752
1753- The 'ddns-update-style' configuration warning bit now insists that
1754 the configuration be globally scoped.
1755
1756- Two memory leaks in dhclient were closed thanks to a patch from Felix
1757 Farkas.
1758
1759- Some minor but excellently pedantic documentation errors were fixed
1760 thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
1761
1762- Bugs in operator precedence in executable statements have been repaired
1763 once again. More legal syntaxes should be parsed legally.
1764
1765- Failing to initialize a tracefile for any reason if a tracefile was
1766 specified is now a fatal error. Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
1767
1768- Corrected a bug in which the number of leases transferred as calculated
1769 by the failover primary and sent to peers in POOLRESP responses may be
1770 incorrect. This value is not believed to be used by other failover
1771 implementations, excepting perhaps as logged information.
1772
1773- Corrected a bug in which 'dhcp_failover_send_poolresp()' was in fact
1774 sending POOLREQ messages instead of POOLRESP mesasges. This message
1775 was essentially ignored since failover secondaries effectively do not
1776 respond to POOLREQ messages.
1777
1778- Type definitions for various bitwidths of integers in the sunos5-5
1779 build of ISC DHCP have been fixed. It should compile and run more
1780 easily when built in 64-bit for this platform.
1781
1782- "allow known-clients;" is now a legal syntax, to avoid confusion.
1783
1784- If one dhcp server chooses to 'load balance' a request to its failover
1785 peer, it first checks to see if it believes said peer has a free
1786 lease to allocate before ignoring the DISCOVER.
1787
1788- log() was logging a work buffer, rather than the value returned by
1789 executing the statements configured by the user. In some cases,
1790 the work buffer and the intended results were the same. In some other
1791 cases, they were not. This was fixed thanks to a patch from Gunnar
1792 Fjone and directconnect.no.
1793
1794- Compiler warnings for some string type conversions was fixed, thanks
1795 to Andreas Gustafsson.
1796
1797- The netbsd build environments were simplified to one, in which
1798 -Wconversion is not used, thanks to Andreas Gustafsson.
1799
1800- How randomness in the backoff-cutoff dhclient configuration variable
1801 is implemented was better documented in the manpage, and the behaviour
1802 of dhclient in REQUEST timeout handling was changed to match that of
1803 DISCOVER timeout handling.
1804
1805- Omapi was hardened against clients that pass in null values, thanks
1806 to a patch from Mark Jason Dominus.
1807
1808- A bug was fixed in dhclient that kept it from doing client-side
1809 ddns updates. Thanks to a patch from Andreas Gustafsson, which
1810 underwent some modification after review by Jason Vas Dias.
1811
1812- Failover implementations disconnected due to the network between
1813 them (rather than one of the two shutting down) will now try to
1814 re-establish the failover connection every 5 seconds, rather than
1815 to simply try once and give up until one of them is restarted.
1816 Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from Infoblox, and field testing
1817 by Greger V. Teigre which led to an enhancement to it.
1818
1819- A problem that kept DHCP Failover secondaries from tearing down
1820 ddns records was repaired. Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from
1821 Infoblox.
1822
1823- 64bit pointer sizes are detected properly on FreeBSD now.
1824
1825- A bug was repaired where the DHCP server would leave stale references
1826 to host records on leases it once thought about offering to certain
1827 clients. The result would be to apply host and 'known' scopes to the
1828 wrong clients (possibly denying booting). NOTE: The 'mis-host' patch
1829 that was being circulated as a workaround is not the way this bug was
1830 fixed. If you were a victim of this bug in 3.0.1, you are cautioned
1831 to proceed carefully and see if it fixes your problem.
1832
1833- A bug was repaired in the server's DHCPINFORM handling, where it
1834 tried to divine the client's address from the source packet and
1835 would get it wrong. Thanks to Anshuman Singh Rawat.
1836
1837- A log message was introduced to help illuminate the case where the
1838 server was unable to find a lease to assign to any BOOTP client.
1839 Thanks to Daniel Baker.
1840
1841- A minor dhcpd.conf.5 manpage error was fixed.
1842
1843 Changes since 3.0.1rc14
1844
1845- The global variable 'cur_time' was centralized and is now uniformly of a
1846 type #defined in system-dependent headers. It had previously been defined
1847 in one of many places as a 32-bit value, and this causes mayhem on 64-bit
1848 big endian systems. It probably wasn't too healthy on little endian
1849 systems either.
1850
1851- A printf format string error introduced in rc14 was repaired.
1852
1853- AIX system-dependent header file was altered to only define NO_SNPRINTF
1854 if the condition used to #ifdef in vsnprintf in AIX' header files
1855 is false.
1856
1857- The Alpha/OSF system-dependent header file was altered to define
1858 NO_SNPRINTF on OS revisions older than 4.0G.
1859
1860- omapip/test.c had string.h added to its includes.
1861
1862 Changes since 3.0.1rc13
1863
1864! CAN-2004-0460 - CERT VU#317350: Five stack overflow exploits were closed
1865 in logging messages with excessively long hostnames provided by the
1866 clients. It is highly probable that these could have been used by
1867 attackers to gain arbitrary root access on systems using ISC DHCP 3.0.1
1868 release candidates 12 or 13. Special thanks to Gregory Duchemin for
1869 both finding and solving the problem.
1870
1871! CAN-2004-0461 - CERT VU#654390: Once the above was closed, an opening
45d545f0 1872 in log_*() functions was evidenced, on some specific platforms where
98311e4b
DH
1873 vsnprintf() was not believed to be available and calls were wrapped to
1874 sprintf() instead. Again, credit goes to Gregory Duchemin for finding
1875 the problem. Calls to snprintf() are now linked to a distribution-local
1876 snprintf implementation, only in those cases where the architecture is
1877 not known to provide one (see includes/cf/[arch].h). If you experience
1878 linking problems with snprintf/vsnprintf or 'isc_print_' functions, this
1879 is where to look. This vulnerability did not exist in any previously
1880 published version of ISC DHCP.
1881
1882- Compilation on hpux 11.11 was repaired.
1883
1884- 'The cross-compile bug fix' was backed out.
1885
1886 Changes since 3.0.1rc12
1887
1888- Fixed a bug in omapi lease lookup function, to form the hardware
1889 address for the hash lookup correctly, thanks to a patch from
1890 Richard Hirst.
1891
1892- Fixed a bug where dhcrelay was sending relayed responses back to the
1893 broadcast address, but with the source's unicast mac address. Should
1894 now conform to rfc2131 section 4.1.
1895
1896- Cross-compile bug fix; use $(AR) instead of ar. Thanks to Morten Brorup.
1897
1898- Fixed a crash bug in dhclient where dhcpd servers that do not provide
1899 renewal times results in an FPE. As a side effect, dhclient can now
1900 properly handle 0xFFFFFFFF (-1) expiry times supplied by servers. Thanks
1901 to a patch from Burt Silverman.
1902
1903- The 'ping timeout' debugs from rc12 were removed to -DDEBUG only,
45d545f0 1904 and reformatted to correct a compilation error on Solaris platforms.
98311e4b
DH
1905
1906- A patch was applied which fixes a case where leases read from the
1907 leases database do not properly over-ride previously read leases.
1908
1909- dhcpctl.3 manpage was tweaked.
1910
1911 Changes since 3.0.1rc11
1912
1913- A patch from Steve Campbell was applied with minor modifications to
1914 permit reverse dns PTR record updates with values containing spaces.
1915
1916- A patch from Florian Lohoff was applied with some modifications to
1917 dhcrelay. It now discards packets whose hop count exceeds 10 by default,
1918 and a command-line option (-c) can be used to set this threshold.
1919
1920- A failover bug relating to identifying peers by name length instead of
1921 by name was fixed.
1922
45d545f0 1923- Declaring failover configs within shared-network statements should no
98311e4b
DH
1924 longer result in error.
1925
1926- The -nw command line option to dhclient now works.
1927
1928- Thanks to a patch from Michael Richardson:
1929 - Some problems with long option processing have been fixed.
1930 - Some fixes to minires so that updates of KEY records will work.
1931
1932- contrib/ms2isc was updated by Shu-Min Chang of the Intel Corporation.
1933 see contrib/ms2isc/readme.txt for revision notes.
1934
1935- Dhclient no longer uses shell commands to kill another instance of
1936 itself, it sends the signal directly. Thanks to a patch from Martin
1937 Blapp.
1938
1939- The FreeBSD dhclient-script was changed so that a failure to write to
1940 /etc/resolv.conf does not prematurely end the script. This keeps dhclient
1941 from looping infinitely when this is the case. Thanks to a patch from
1942 Martin Blapp.
1943
1944- A patch from Bill Stephens was applied which resolves a problem with lease
1945 expiry times in failover configurations.
1946
1947- A memory leak in configuration parsing was closed thanks to a patch from
1948 Steve G.
1949
1950- The function which discovers interfaces will now skip non-broadcast or
1951 point-to-point interfaces, thanks to a patch from David Brownlee.
1952
1953- Options not yet known by the dhcpd or dhclient have had their names
1954 changed such that they do not contain # symbols, in case they should ever
1955 appear in a lease file. An option that might have been named "#144" is
1956 now "unknown-144".
1957
1958- Another patch from Bill Stephens which allows the ping-check timeout to
1959 be configured as 'ping-timeout'. Defaults to 1.
1960
1961 Changes since 3.0.1rc10
1962
1963- Potential buffer overflows in minires repaired.
1964
1965- A change to the linux client script to use /bin/bash, since /bin/sh may
1966 not be bash.
1967
1968- Some missing va_end cleanups thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
1969
1970- A correction of boolean parsing syntax validation - some illegal syntaxes
1971 that worked before are now detected and produce errs, some legal syntaxes
1972 that errored before will now work properly.
1973
1974- Some search-and-replace errors that caused some options to change their
1975 names was repaired.
1976
1977- Shu-min Chang of the Intel corporation has contributed a perl script and
1978 module that converts the MS NT4 DHCP configuration to a ISC DHCP3
1979 configuration file.
1980
1981- Applied the remainder of the dhcpctl memory leak patch provided by Bill
1982 Squier at ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
1983
1984- Missing non-optional failover peer configurations will now result in a soft
1985 error rather than a null dereference.
1986
1987 Changes since 3.0.1rc9
1988
1989- A format string was corrected to fix compiler warnings.
1990
1991- A number of spelling corrections were made in the man pages.
1992
1993- The dhclient.conf.5 man page was changed to refer to do-forward-updates
1994 rather than a configuration option that doesn't exist.
1995
1996- A FreeBSD-specific bug in the interface removal handling was fixed.
1997
1998- A Linux-specific Token Ring detection problem was fixed.
1999
2000- Hashes removed from as-yet-unknown agent options, having those options
2001 appear in reality before we know about them will no longer produce
2002 self-corrupting lease databases.
2003
2004- dhclient will use the proper port numbers now when using the -g option.
2005
2006- A order-of-operations bug with 2 match clauses in 1 class statement is
2007 fixed thanks to a patch from Andrew Matheson.
2008
2009- Compilation problems on Solaris were fixed.
2010
2011- Compilation problems when built with DEBUG or DEBUG_PACKET were repaired.
2012
2013- A fix to the dhcp ack process which makes certain group options will be
2014 included in the first DHCPOFFER message was made thanks to a patch from
2015 Ling Gou.
2016
2017- A few memory leaks were repaired thanks to patches from Bill Squier at
2018 ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
2019
2020- A fix for shared-networks that sometimes give clients options for the
2021 wrong subnets (in particular, 'option routers') was applied, thanks to
2022 Ted Lemon for the patch.
2023
2024- Omshell's handling of dotted octets as values was changed such that dots
2025 one after the other produce zero values in the integer string.
2026
2027 Changes since 3.0.1rc8
2028
2029- Fix a format string vulnerability in the server that could lead to a
2030 remote root compromise (discovered by NGSEC Research Team, www.ngsec.com).
2031
2032- Add additional support for NetBSD/sparc64.
2033
2034- Fix a bug in the command-line parsing of the client. Also, resolve
2035 a memory leak.
2036
2037- Add better support for shells other than bash in the Linux client
2038 script.
2039
2040- Various build fixes for modern versions of FreeBSD and Linux.
2041
2042- Fix a bad bounds check when printing binding state names.
2043
2044- Clarify documentation about fixed-address and multiple addresses.
2045
2046- Fix a typo in the authoritative error message.
2047
2048- Make a log entry when we can't write a billing class.
2049
2050- Use conversion targets that are the right size on all architectures.
2051
2052- Increment the hop count when relaying.
2053
2054- Log a message when lease state is changed through OMAPI.
2055
2056- Don't rerun the shared_network when evaluating the pool.
2057
2058- Fix a reversed test in the parser.
2059
2060- Change the type of rbuf_max.
2061
2062- Make FTS_LAST a manifest constant to quiet warnings.
2063
2064 Changes since 3.0.1rc7
2065
2066- Fix two compiler warnings that are generated when compiling on Solaris
2067 with gcc. These stop the build, even though they weren't actually
2068 errors, because we prefer that our builds generate no warnings.
2069
2070 Changes since 3.0.1rc6
2071
2072- Don't allow a lease that's in the EXPIRED, RELEASED or RESET state
2073 to be renewed.
2074
2075- Implement lease stealing for cases where the primary has fewer leases
2076 than the secondary, as called for by the standard.
2077
2078- Add a fudge factor to the lease expiry acceptance code, (suggested
2079 by Kevin Miller of CMU).
2080
2081- Fix a bug in permit_list_match that made it much too willing to say
2082 that two permit lists matched.
2083
2084- Unless DEBUG_DNS_UPDATES is defined, print more user-friendly (and
2085 also more compact) messages about DNS updates.
2086
2087- Fix a bug in generating wire-format domain names for the FQDN option.
2088
2089- Fix a bug where the FQDN option would not be returned if the client
2090 requested it, contrary to the standard.
2091
2092- On Darwin, use the FreeBSD DHCP client script.
2093
2094- On NetBSD/sparc, don't check for casting warnings.
2095
2096- Add a flag in the DHCP client to disable updating the client's A
2097 record when sending an FQDN option indicating that the client is
2098 going to update its A record.
2099
2100- In the client, don't attempt a DNS update until one second after
2101 configuring the new IP address, and if the update times out, keep
2102 trying until a response, positive or negative, is received from the
2103 DNS server.
2104
2105- Fix an uninitialized memory bug in the DHCP client.
2106
2107- Apply some FreeBSD-specific bug fixes suggested by Murray Stokely.
2108
2109- Fix a bug in ns_parserr(), where it was returning the wrong sort
2110 of result code in some cases (suggested by Ben Harris of the
2111 NetBSD project).
2112
2113- Fix a bug in is_identifier(), where it was checking against EOF
2114 instead of the END_OF_FILE token (also suggested by Ben Harris).
2115
2116- Fix a bug where if an option universe contained no options, the
2117 DHCP server could dump core (Walter Steiner).
2118
2119- Fix a bug in the handling of encapsulated options.
2120
2121- Fix a bug that prevented NWIP suboptions from being processed.
2122
2123- Delete the FTS_BOOTP and FTS_RESERVED states and implement them
2124 as modifier flags to the FTS_ACTIVE state, as called for in the
2125 failover protocol standard.
2126
2127- Fix bugs in the pool merging code that resulted in references and
2128 dereferences of null pointers. This bug had no impact unless the
2129 POINTER_DEBUG flag was defined.
2130
2131- In the server, added a do-forward-updates flag that can be used to
2132 disable forward updates in all cases, so that sites that want the
2133 clients to take sole responsibility for updating their A record can
2134 do so.
2135
2136- Make it possible to disable optimization of PTR record updates.
2137
2138 Changes since 3.0.1rc5
2139
2140- Include some new documentation and changes provided by Karl Auer.
2141
2142- Add a workaround for some Lexmark printers that send a double-NUL-
2143 terminated host-name option, which would break DNS updates.
2144
2145- Fix an off-by-one error in the MAC-address checking code for
2146 DHCPRELEASE that was added in 3.0.1rc5.
2147
2148- Fix a bug where client-specific information was not being discarded
2149 from the lease when it expired or was released, resulting in
2150 problems if the lease was reallocated to a different client.
2151
2152- If more than one allocation pool is specified that has the same set
2153 of constraints as another allocation pool on the same shared
2154 network, merge the two pools.
2155
2156- Don't print an error in fallback_discard, since this just causes
2157 confusion and does not appear to be helping to encourage anyone to
2158 fix this bug.
2159
2160 Changes since 3.0.1rc4
2161
2162- Fix a bug that would cause the DHCP server to spin if asked to parse
2163 a certain kind of incorrect statement.
2164
2165- Fix a related bug that would prevent an error from being reported in
2166 the same case.
2167
2168- Additional documentation.
2169
2170- Make sure that the hardware address matches the lease when
2171 processing a DHCPRELEASE message.
2172
2173 Changes since 3.0.1rc3
2174
2175- A minor bug fix in the arguments to a logging function call.
2176- Documentation update for dhcpd.conf.
2177
adbef119 2178 Changes since 3.0.1rc2
98311e4b
DH
2179
2180- Allow the primary to send a POOLREQ message. This isn't what the current
2181 failover draft says to do, so we may have to back it out if I can't get the
2182 authors to relent, but the scheme for balancing that's specified in the
2183 current draft seems needlessly hairy, so I'm floating a trial balloon.
2184 The rc1 code did not implement the method described in the draft either.
2185
adbef119 2186 Changes since 3.0.1rc1
98311e4b
DH
2187
2188- Treat NXDOMAIN and NXRRSET as success when we are trying to delete a
2189 domain or RRSET. This allows the DHCP server to forget about a name
2190 it added to the DNS once it's been removed, even if the DHCP server
2191 wasn't the one that removed it.
2192
2193- Install defaults for failover maximum outstanding updates and maximum
2194 silent time. This prevents problems that might occur if these values
2195 were not configured.
2196
2197- Don't do DDNS deletes if ddns-update-style is none.
2198
2199- Return relay agent information options in DHCPNAK. This prevents DHCPNAK
2200 messages from being dropped when the relay agent information option contains
2201 routing information.
2202
2203- Fix a problem where coming up in recover wouldn't result in an update
2204 request being sent.
2205
2206- Add some more chatty messages when we start a recovery update and when it's
2207 done.
2208
2209- Fix a possible problem where some state might have been left around
2210 after the peer lost contact and regained contact about how many updates
2211 were pending.
2212
2213- Don't nix a lease update because of a lease conflict. This test has
2214 never (as far as I know) prevented a mistake, and it appears to cause
2215 problems with failover.
2216
2217- Add support in rc history code for keeping a selective history, rather
2218 than a history of all references and dereferences. This code is only used
2219 when extensive additional debugging is enabled.
2220
adbef119 2221 Changes since 3.0
98311e4b
DH
2222
2223- Make allocators for hash tables. As a side effect, this fixes a memory
2224 smash in the subclass allocation code.
2225
2226- Fix a small bug in omshell where if you try to close an object when
2227 no object is open, it dumps core.
2228
2229- Fix an obscure coredump that could occur on shutdown.
2230
2231- Fix a bug in the recording of host declaration rubouts in the lease file.
2232
2233- Fix two potential spins in the host deletion code.
2234
2235- Fix a core dump that would happen if an application tried to update
2236 a host object attribute with a null value.
2237
2238 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 12
2239
2240- Fix a memory leak in the evaluation code.

2245 when crucial information is left out.

2253- Always return a subnet selection option if one is sent.
2254
2255- Fix a warning that was being printed because an automatic data
2256 structure wasn't zeroed.
2257
2258- Fix some failover state transitions that were being handled
2259 incorrectly.
2260
2261- When supersede_lease is called on a lease whose end time has already
2262 expired, but for which a state transition has not yet been done, do
2263 a state transition. This fixes the case where if the secondary
2264 allocated a lease to a client and the lease "expired" while the
2265 secondary was in partner-down, no expiry event would actually
2266 happen, so the lease would remain active until the primary was
2267 restarted.
2268

2270
2271- Fix a bug that was preventing released leases from changing state
2272 in failover-enabled pools.
2273
2274- Fix a core dump in the client identifier finder code (for host
2275 declarations).
2276
2277- Finish fixing a bug where bogus data would sometimes get logged to
2278 the dhclient.leases file because it was opened as descriptor 2.
2279
2280- Fix the Linux dhclient-script according to suggestions made by
2281 several people on the dhcp-client mailing list.
2282
2283- Log successful DNS updates at LOG_INFO, not LOG_ERROR.
2284
2285- Print an error message and refuse to run if a failover peer is
2286 defined but not referenced by any pools.

2305 This was introduced in rc8pl1 as an unintended result of the memory
2306 leakage fixes that were in pl1.
2307
2308- Fix a long-standing bug where the server would record that an update
2309 had been done for a client with no name, even though no update had
2310 been done, and then when the client's lease expired the deletion of
2311 that nonexistant record would time out because the name was the null
2312 string.

2321- Fix a bug that was causing core dumps on BSD/os in the presence of
2322 malformed packets.
2323
2324- In partner-down state, don't restrict lease lengths to MCLT.
2325
2326- On the failover secondary, record the MCLT received from the primary
2327 so that if we come up without a connection to the primary we don't
2328 wind up giving out zero-length leases.
2329
2330- Fix some compilation problems on BSD/os.

2337 make the message clearer when a key algorithm isn't supported.

2340 tcp connections from being played back.

2343 on exit.
2344

2352 DHCP client that could cause core dumps, but that for some reason
2353 hadn't been noticed until now.
2354
2355 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 7
2356
2357- Fix a bug in failover where we weren't sending updates after a
2358 transition from communications-interrupted to normal.
2359
2360- Handle expired/released/reset -> free transition according to the
2361 protocol specification (this works - the other way not only wasn't
2362 conformant, but also didn't work).
2363
2364- Add a control object in both client and server that allows either
2365 daemon to be shut down cleanly.
2366
2367- When writing a lease, if we run out of disk space, shut down the
2368 output file and insist on writing a new one before proceeding.
2369
2370- In the server, if the OMAPI listener port is occupied, keep trying
2371 to get it, rather than simply giving up and exiting.
2372
2373- Support fetching variables from leases and also updating and adding
2374 variables to leases via OMAPI.
2375
2376- If two failover peers have wildly different clocks, refuse to start
2377 doing failover.
2378
2379- Fix a bug in the DNS update code that could cause core dumps when
2380 running on alpha processors.

2383 patch from Andrey M Linkevitch.

2386
2387- Install omshell (including new documentation).
2388
2389- Support DNS updates in the client (this is a very obscure feature
2390 that most DHCP client users probably will not be able to use).
2391
2392- Somewhat cleaner status logging in the client.
2393
2394- Make OMAPI key naming syntax compatible with the way keys are
2395 actually named (key names are domain names).
2396
2397- Fix a bug in the lease file writer.
2398
2399- Install DHCP ISC headers in a different place than BIND 9 ISC
2400 headers, to avoid causing trouble in BIND 9 builds.
2401
2402- Don't send updates for attributes on an object when the attributes
2403 haven't changed. Support deleting attributes on remote objects.
2404
2405- Fix a number of bugs in omshell, and add the unset and refresh
2406 statements.
2407
2408- Handle disconnects in OMAPI a little bit more intelligently (so that
2409 the caller gets ECONNRESET instead of EINVAL).
2410
2411- Fix a bunch of bugs in the handling of clients that have existing
2412 leases when the try to renew their leases while failover is
2413 operating.

2434 to the chain.

2452 DHCPDECLINE.

2455
2456- In failover, correctly handle expiration of leases. Previously,
2457 leases would never be reclaimed because they couldn't make the
2458 transition from EXPIRED to FREE.
2459

2461

2463
2464- Take out an unnecessary check in DHCP relay agent information option
2465 stashing code that was preventing REBINDING clients from rebinding.
2466

2468 processing if the lease belongs to the other server.

2511- Change the conditions under which a DHCPRELEASE is actually
2512 committed to be consistent with lease binding states rather than
98311e4b 2513 using the lease end time. This may fix some problems with the
892fe689
TL
2514 billing class code.
2515
2516- Fix a bug where lease updates would fail on Digital Unix (and maybe
2517 others) because malloc was called with a size of zero.
2518
2519- Fix a core dump that happens when the DHCP server can't create its
2520 trace file.

TL
2524- Fix the dhcp_failover_put_message to not attempt to allocate a
2525 zero-length buffer. Some versions of malloc() fail if you try to
2526 allocate a zero-length buffer, and this was causing problems on,
2527 e.g., Digital Unix.
2528
2529- Fix a case where the failover code was printing an error message
2530 when no error had occurred.
2531
2532- Fix a problem where when a server went down and back up again, the
2533 peer would not see a state transition and so would stay in the
2534 non-communicating state.
2535
2536- Be smart about going into recover_wait.
2537
2538- Fix a problem in the failover implementation where peers would fail
2539 to come into sync if interrupted in the RECOVER state. This could
2540 have been the cause of some problems people have reported recently.
2541
2542- Fix a problem with billing classes where they would not be unbilled
2543 when the client lease expired.
2544
2545- If select fails, figure out which descriptor is bad, and cut it out
2546 of the I/O loop. This prevents a potentially nasty spin. I
2547 haven't heard any report it in a while, but it came up consistently
2548 in testing.
2549
2550- Fix a bug in the relay agent where if you specified interfaces on
2551 the command line, it would fail.
2552
2553- Fix a couple of small bugs in the omapi connection object (no known
2554 user impact).
2555
2556- Add the missing 3.0 Beta 1 lease conversion script.

2559 they're executable.

2601 checked. This may have been causing core dumps.

2604 billing class statement, and the lease already has a billing class,
2605 unbill the old class.
2606
2607- When processing failover transactions, where acks will be deferred,
2608 process the state transition immediately.
2609
2610- Don't try to use the new SIOCGIFCONF buffer size detection code on
2611 Linux 2.0, which doesn't provide this functionality.

2618
2619- Document the -n and -g flags to the client.
2620
2621- Make sure there is always a stdin and stdout on startup. This
2622 prevents shell scripts from accidentally writing error messages into
2623 configuration files that happen to be opened as stderr.
2624
2625- If an interface is removed, the client will now notice that it is
2626 gone rather than spinning. This has only been tested on NetBSD.
2627
2628- The client will attempt to get an address even if it can't create a
2629 lease file.

2676- Implement omshell, which can be used to do arbitrary things to the
2677 server (in theory). (Damien Neil)
2678
2679- Fix a case where if a client had two different leases the server could
2680 actually dereference the second one when it hadn't been referenced,
2681 leading to memory corruption and a core dump. (James Brister)
2682
2683- Fix a case where a client could request the address of another client's
2684 lease, but find_lease wouldn't detect that the other client had it, and
2685 would attempt to allocate it to the client, resulting in a lease conflict
2686 message.
2687
2688- Fix a case where a client with more than one client identifier could be
2689 given a lease where the hardware address was correct but the client
2690 identifier was not, resulting in a lease conflict message.
2691
98311e4b 2692- Fix a problem where the server could write out a colon-separated
3350f5b7
TL
2693 hex list as a value for a variable, which would then not parse.
2694 The fix is to always write strings as quoted strings, with any
2695 non-printable characters quoted as octal escape sequences. So
2696 a file written the old way still won't work, but new files written
2697 this way will work.

2702 break any configuration files that use the option-nnn convention.
2703 If you want to continue to use this convention for some options,
2704 please be sure to write a definition, like this:

2706 option option-nnn code nnn = string;

2708 You can use a descriptive name instead of option-nnn if you like.
2709

2711 DHCPREQUEST/DHCPACK/DHCPREQUEST/DHCPNAK sequence. This was the
2712 result of a deceptively silly bug in supersede_lease.

2727- Add support for transaction tracing. This allows the state of the
2728 DHCP server on startup, and all the subsequent transactions, to be
2729 recorded in a file which can then be played back to reproduce the
2730 behaviour of the DHCP server. This can be used to quickly
2731 reproduce bugs that cause core dumps or corruption, and also for
2732 tracking down memory leaks.
2733
2734- Incorporate some bug fixes provided by Joost Mulders for the DLPI
2735 package which should clear up problems people have been seeing on
2736 Solaris.
2737
2738- Fix bugs in the handling of options stored as linked lists (agent
2739 options, fqdn options and nwip options) that could cause memory
2740 corruption and core dumps.

2776- Fix some error code space inconsistencies in ddns update code.
2777
2778- Support relay agents that intercept unicast DHCP messages to stuff
2779 agent options into them.

2787
2788- Finish fixing a long-standing bug in the agent options code. This
2789 was causing core dumps and failing to operate correctly - in
2790 particular, agent option stashing wasn't working. Agent option
2791 stashing should now be working, meaning that agent options can be
2792 used in class statements to control address allocation.
2793
2794- Fix up documentation.
2795
2796- Fix a couple of small memory leaks that would have added up
2797 significantly in a high-demand situation.
2798
2799- Add a log-facility configuration parameter.
2800
2801- Fix a compile error on some older operating systems.
2802
2803- Add the ability in the client to execute certain statements before
2804 transmitting packets to the server. Handy for debugging; not much
2805 practical use otherwise.
2806
2807- Don't send faked-out giaddr when renewing or bound - again, useful
2808 for debugging.

2812- Fixed a problem where the fqdn decoder would sometimes try to store
2813 an option with an (unsigned) negative length, resulting in a core
2814 dump on some systems.
2815
2816- Work around the Win98 DHCP client, which NUL-terminates the FQDN
2817 option.
2818
2819- Work around Win98 and Win2k clients that will claim they want to do
2820 the update even when they don't have any way to do it.
2821
2822- Fix some log messages that can be printed when failover is operating
2823 that were not printing enough information.
2824
2825- It was possible for a DHCPDISCOVER to get an allocation even when
2826 the state machine said the server shouldn't be responding.
2827
2828- Don't load balance DHCPREQUESTs from clients in RENEWING and
2829 REBINDING, since in RENEWING, if we heard it, it's for us, and in
2830 REBINDING, the client wouldn't have got to REBINDING if its primary
2831 were answering.
2832
2833- When we get a bogus state lease binding state transition, don't do
2834 the transition.

2843- Albert Herranz tracked down and fixed a subtle bug in the base64
2844 decoder that would prevent any key with an 'x' in its base64
2845 representation from working correctly.
2846
2847- Thanks to Chris Cheney and Michael Sanders, we have a fix for the
2848 hang that they both spotted in the DHCP server - when
2849 one-lease-per-client was set, the code to release the "other" lease
2850 could spin.
2851
2852- Fix a problem with alignment of the input buffer in bpf in cases
2853 where two packets arrive in the same bpf read.
2854
2855- Fix a problem where the relay agent would crash if you specified an
2856 interface name on the command line.
2857
2858- Add the ability to conditionalize client behaviour based on the
2859 client state.
2860
2861- Add support for the FQDN option, and added support for a new way of
2862 doing ddns updates (ddns update style interim) that allows more than
2863 one DHCP server to update the DNS for the same network(s). This
2864 was implemented by Damien Neil with some additional functionality
2865 added by Ted Lemon.
2866
2867- Damien added a "log" statement, so that the configuration file can
2868 be made to log debugging information and other information.
2869
2870- Fixed a bug that caused option buffers not to be terminated with an
2871 end option.
2872
2873- Fixed a long-standing bug in the support for option spaces where the
2874 options are stored as an ordered list rather than in a hash table,
2875 which could theoretically result in memory pool corruption.
2876
2877- Prevent hardware declarations with no actual hardware address from
2878 being written as something unparsable, and behave correctly in the
2879 face of a null hardware address on input.
2880
2881- Allow key names to be FQDNs, and qualify the algorithm name if it is
2882 specified unqualified.
2883
2884- Modify the DDNS update code so that it never prints the "resolver
2885 failed" message, but instead says *why* the resolver failed.
2886
2887- Officially support the subnet selection option, which now has an
2888 RFC.
2889
2890- Fix a build bug on MacOS X.
2891
2892- Allow administrator to disable ping checking.
2893

2895 it works.

2907 in patchlevel 9.
2908
2909- Stash agent options on client leases by default, and use the stashed
2910 options at renewal time.
2911
2912- Add the ability to test the client's binding state in the client
2913 configuration language.
2914
2915- Fix a core dump in the DNS update code.
2916
2917- Fix some expression evaluation bugs that were causing updates to be
2918 done when no client hostname was received.
2919
2920- Fix expression evaluation debugging printfs.
2921
2922- Teach pretty_print_option to print options in option spaces other than
2923 the DHCP option space.
2924
2925- Add a warning message if the RHS of a not is not boolean.
2926
2927- Never select for more than a day, because some implementations of
2928 select will just fail if the timeout is too long (!).
2929
2930- Fix a case where a DHCPDISCOVER from an unknown network would be
2931 silently dropped.
2932
2933- Fix a bug where if a client requested an IP address for which a different
2934 client had the lease, the DHCP server would reallocate it anyway.
2935
2936- Fix the DNS update code so that if the client changes its name, the DNS
2937 will be correctly updated.

2950- Fix a possible DoS attack where a client could cause the checksummer
2951 to dump core. This was a read, not a write, so it shouldn't be
2952 possible to exploit it any further than that.
2953
2954- Implement client- and server-side support for using the Client FQDN
2955 option.
2956
2957- Support for other option spaces in the client has been added. This
2958 means that it is now possible to define a vendor option space on the
2959 client, request options in that space from the server (which must
2960 define the same option space), and then use those options in the
2961 client. This also allows NWIP and Client FQDN options to be used
2962 meaningfully.
2963
2964- Add object initializer support. This means that objects can now be
2965 initialized to something other than all-zeros when allocated, which
2966 makes, e.g., the interface object support code a little more robust.
2967
2968- Fix an off-by-one bug in the host stuffer. This was causing host
2969 deletes not the work, and may also have been causing OMAPI
2970 connections to get dropped. Thanks to James Brister for tracking
2971 this one down!
2972
2973- Fixed a core dump in the interface discovery code that is triggered
2974 when there is no subnet declaration for an interface, but the server
2975 decides to continue running. Thanks to Shane Kerr for tracking

2998 dump on Solaris (and probably elsewhere).
2999
3000- Add some more safety checks in error logging code.
3001
3002- Add support for ISC_R_INCOMPLETE in OMAPI protocol connection code.
3003
3004- Fix relay agent so that if an interface is specified on the command
3005 line, the relay agent does not dump core.
3006
3007- Fix class matching so that match if can be combined with match or
3008 spawn with.
3009
3010- Do not allow spurious leases in the lease database to introduce
3011 potentially bogus leases into the in-memory database.
3012
3013- Fix a byte-order problem in the client hardware address type code
3014 for OMAPI.

3017 can install in host declarations.

3050 lease renewal time.
