72c7bd79 6
5ddbe8e4 7 NEW FEATURES
16449d9c 8
5ade3c84 9The major "theme" for ISC DHCP 4.3.x was to update the support for
324257e3
SR
10DHCPv6 to include several of the features that have been available
11for DHCPv4. These include:
37ec5845 12
324257e3
SR
13- Support the use of classes
14
15- Support for on_commit, on_expiry and on_release statements
16
4809ef5c 17- Better logging of address assignments
324257e3
SR
18
19- Support for using DHCPv6 relay options in expressions
20
cb0d7e7c 21This release also adds support for the standard DDNS as described in the
324257e3
SR
22current RFCs as well as enhancing support for dynamically adding and removing
23subclasses via OMAPI.

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

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

252 When asked for the version don't send the output to syslog.
253 [ISC-Bugs #29772]
254 Add the next server information to the environment variables for
255 use by the client script. In order to avoid changing the client
256 lease file the next server information isn't written to it.
257 Thanks to Tomas Hozza at Red Hat for the suggestion and a prototype fix.
258 [ISC-Bugs #33098]
21f3982a 259
d618ba48
SR
260- Several updates to the dhcp server code.
261 When not in quiet mode print out the files being used.
262 [ISC-Bugs #17551]
263 As accessing some pid files may require privileges move the dropping
264 of permission bits due to the paranoia patch to be after the pid code.
265 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the bug report and fix.
266 [ISC-Bugs #25806]
267 When processing a "--version" request don't output the version information
268 to syslog.
33dca28a 269
d618ba48
SR
270- Add the "enable-log-pid" build option to the configure script. When enabled
271 this causes the client, server and relay programs to include the PID
272 number in syslog messages.
273 Thanks to Marius Tomaschewski for the suggestion and proto-patch.
274 [ISC-Bugs #29713]
33dca28a 275
d618ba48
SR
276- Add a #define to specify the prefix length used when a client attempts
277 to configure an address. This can be modified by editing includes/site.h.
278 By default it is set to 64. While 128 might be a better choice it would
279 also be a change for currently running systems, so we have left it at 64.
280 [ISC-Bugs #DHCP-2]
7da1ac2b 281
d618ba48
SR
282- Add a run time option to the client "-df" to allow the administrator to
283 point to a second lease file the client can search for a DUID. This can
284 be used to allow a v4 and a v6 instance of the client to share a DUID.
285 The second file will only be searched if there isn't a DUID in the main
286 lease file and the DUID will be written out to the main lease file.
287 [ISC-Bugs #34886]
e82906fc 288
d618ba48
SR
289- Have the client fsync the lease file to avoid lease corruption if the
290 client hibernates or otherwise shuts down.

297- Modify the handling of the resolv.conf file to allow the DHCP
298 process to start up even if the resolv.conf file has problems.
299 [ISC-Bugs #35989]
88c3ff5d 300
d618ba48
SR
301- Add threshold logging functionality. Two new options,
302 log-threshold-low and log-threshold-high, indicate to the
303 server if and when it should log an error message as addresses
304 in a pool are used.
305 [ISC-Bugs #34487]

360 [ISC-Bugs] #36664]
3e3b5257 361
d618ba48
SR
362- Remove unneeded error #defines. These defines were included in case
363 external programs required the older versions of the macro. They
364 have been #ifdeffed for now and will be removed at a future date.
365 See site.h for the #define to include them again, but you should
366 switch to using the DHCP_R_* versions instead of the ISC_R_* versions.
367 Also ISC_R_MULTIPLE has been removed as it is also defined in bind.
368 [ISC-Bugs #37128]
ba4c704d 369
d618ba48
SR
370- Added checks in range6 and prefix6 statement parsing to ensure addresses
371 are within the declared subnet. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the
372 bug report and patch.

b1eea858 378
d618ba48
SR
379- Addressed checksum issues:
380 Added checksum readiness check to Linux packet filtering which eliminates
381 invalid packet drops due to checksum errors when checksum offloading is
382 in use. Based on dhcp-4.2.2-xen-checksum.patch made to the Fedora project.

392 [ISC-Bugs #25587]
36c4a037 393
d618ba48
SR
394- Added the echo-client-id configuration parameter to the server configuration.
395 The server now supports RFC 6842 compliant behavior by setting a new
396 configuration parameter, echo-client-id. When enabled, the server will
397 include the client identifier option (Option code 61) if received, in its
398 responses. The server identifier returned in NAKs (if enabled) will now
399 be the globally defined value (if one) if the server cannot attribute the
400 inbound request to a known subnet.

408- Added logic to ignore the signal, SIGPIPE, which ensures write failures
409 will be delivered as errors rather than as SIGPIPE signals on all OSs.

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

423- By default, the server will now choose the value to use in the forward DNS
424 name from the following in order of preference:
1d3fc4d0 425
d618ba48
SR
426 1. FQDN option if provided by the client

428 3. Configured option host-name if defined

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

437 the existing lease and the forward DNS name had not changed. This has been
438 corrected.

442- Corrected an issue which caused dhclient to incorrectly form the result when
443 prepending or appending to the IPv4 domain-search option, received from the
444 server, when either of the values being combined contain compressed
445 components.
446 [ISC-Bugs #20558]
dce576b8 447
d618ba48
SR
448- Added the server-id-check parameter to the server configuration.
449 This parameter allows run-time control over whether or not a server,
450 participating in failover, verifies the dhcp-server-identifier option in
451 DHCP REQUESTs against the server's id before processing the request.
452 Formerly, enabling this behavior was done at compilation time through
453 the use of the #define, SERVER_ID_CHECK, which has been removed from site.h
454 The functionality is now only available through the new runtime parameter.

d618ba48
SR
457- During startup, when the server encounters a lease whose binding state is
458 FTS_BACKUP but whose pool has no configured failover peer, it will reset the
459 lease's binding state to FTS_FREE. This allows the leases to be reclaimed
460 by the server after a pool's configuration has changed from failover to
461 standalone. Prior to this such leases would remain stuck in the backup state
462 making them unavailable for assignment. Note this conversion will occur
463 whether or not the server is compiled for failover.

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

480- Move the check for a PID file and process to be before we rewrite the
481 lease file. This avoids the possibility of starting a second instance
482 of a server which changes the current lease file confusing the first

484 files.

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

504 check for multiple IPv6 clients attempting to use the same DUID when only
505 abandoned addresses are available. Debug level logging will now emit counts
506 of the total number of, in-use, and abandoned addresses in a shared subnet
507 when the server finds no addresses available for a given DUID. Lastly,
508 threshold logging is now automatically disabled for shared subnets whose
509 total number of possible addresses exceeds (2^64)-1.

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

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

539 the code isn't used anymore but we remove them here to keep the
540 code consistent across versions.
541 [ISC-Bugs #36451]
542
543- The server now does a better check to see if it can allocate the memory
544 for large blocks of v4 leases and should provide a slightly better error
545 message. Note well: the server pre-allocates v4 addresses, if you use
546 a large range, such as a /8, the server will attempt to use a large
547 amount of memory and may not start if there either isn't enough memory
bc549dd9
SR
548 or the size exceeds what the code supports.

551- The server will now reject unicast Request, Renew, Decline, and Release
552 messages from a client unless the server would have sent that client the
553 dhcp6.unicast option. This behavior is in compliance with paragraph 1 in
554 each of the sections 18.2,1, 18.2.3, 18.2.6, and 18.2.7 of RFC 3315. Prior
555 to this, the server would simply accept the messages. Now, in order for
556 the server to accept such a message, the server configuration must include
557 the dhcp6.unicast option either globally or within the shared network to
558 which the requested lease belongs. In other words, the server will map
559 the first IA_XX address found within the client message to a shared-network
560 and look for the presence of the unicast option there and then globally.

629- Corrected an issue in v6 lease file parsing. Prior to this, when encountering
630 a lease with an address for which no configured pool exists, the server was
631 declaring the lease file corrupt and incorrectly skipping over the subsequent
632 entry in the file. The server will now emit a log message indicating that
633 no pool was found for the address (or prefix) and correctly resume parsing
cacce092 634 with the next entry in the lease file. Our thanks to Michal Žejdl for

639 prefix. When we added the class matching code for v6 we also added
640 a requirement that the static prefix must be within a subnet the
641 client was in, in order to find the proper statements. We now
642 look for a subnet based on the prefix, failing that on the static

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

823- Option expressions, such as prepend and append, are now supported when
824 running dhclient for IPv6. Prior to this such statements in the

829- A failover primary server will now accept a binding status update from the
830 secondary which transitions a lease from ACTIVE to ABANDONED. This accounts
831 for instances in which a client declines a lease and only the secondary
832 server receives it. Prior to this the primary server would reject such an
833 update as an "invalid state transition".

872- The server will now correctly treat a lease as reserved when the client
873 requests an infinite lease time (i.e. OxFFFFFFFF) and "infinite-is-reserved"
874 is enabled. Prior to this the server would halt. In addition, corrections
875 were made to the server to allow a lease's flags field to be set via omapi.
876 Prior to this, the server, depending on the host architecture, would
877 incorrectly parse the new flags value from the omapi message.

901 option "--enable-dhcpv4o6". Note this feature requires DHCPv6 support
902 and is not compatible with delayed-ack. Both client and server use 2
903 processes which communicate over UDP on a pair of sockets. The new

SR
1139
1140- If a client renews before 'dhcp-cache-threshold' percent of its lease
1141 has elapsed (default 25%), the server will reuse the allocated lease
1142 (provide a lease within the currently allocated lease-time) rather
1143 than extend or renew the lease. This absolves the server of needing
1144 to perform an fsync() operation on the lease database before reply,
1145 which improves performance. [ISC-Bugs #22228]
80778e94 1146 Updated this patch to support asynchronous DDNS. If the server is
adb95d23 1147 attempting to do DDNS on a lease it should be updated and written to

1174- Update the DDNS code to current standards and allow for sharing
1175 of DDNS entries between v4 and v6 clients. The new code is used
1176 if the ddns-update-style is set to "standard", the older code is
1177 still available if ddns-update-style is set to "interim". The
1178 oldest DDNS code "ad-hoc" has been removed. Thanks to Thomas Pegeot

cde11a4c
SR
1183- Add a configuration option to the server to suppress using fsync().
1184 Enabling this option will mean that fsync() is never called. This
1185 may provide better performance but there is also a risk that a lease
1186 will not be properly written to the disk after it has been issued
1187 to a client and before the server stops. Using this option is
1188 not recommended.

1192 to serve. One statement is emitted after the server has finished
1193 reading its files and is about to enter the dispatch loop.
1194 This is "Server starting service.".
1195 The second is emitted when a server determines that both it and
1196 its failover peer are in the normal state.

80778e94 1209 to find a reasonable nameserver via a DNS resolver. This restores
e54ff84f
SR
1210 some functionality that was lost in the transition to asynchronous
1211 DDNS. Due to the lack of security and increase in fragility of the
1212 system when using this feature we strongly recommend the use of
1213 appropriate zone statements rather than using this functionality.
1214 [ISC-Bugs #30461]
1215
61ef216b
SR
1216- Add support for specifying the address from which to send
1217 DDNS updates on the DHCP server. There are two new options
1218 "ddns-local-address4" and "ddns-local-address6" that each take
1219 one instance of their respective address types.

SR
1222- Add ignore-client-uids option in the server. This option causes
1223 the server to not record a client's uid in its lease. This
1224 violates the specification but may also be useful when a client
1225 can dual boot using different client ids but the same mac address.

1246- When using 'ignore client-updates;', the FQDN returned to the client
1247 is no longer truncated to one octet.
8ee352ee 1248
01a44a77 1249- Cleaned up an unused hardware address variable in nak_lease().
4889a646 1250

SR
1251- Manpage entries for the ia-pd and ia-prefix options were updated to
1252 reflect support for prefix delegation.
4889a646 1253
01a44a77 1254- Cleaned up some compiler warnings
7dc4e69c 1255
01a44a77
SR
1256- An optimization described in the failover protocol draft is now included,
1257 which permits a DHCP server operating in communications-interrupted state
1258 to 'rewind' a lease to the state most recently transmitted to its peer,
1259 greatly increasing a server's endurance in communications-interrupted.
1260 This is supported using a new 'rewind state' record on the dhcpd.leases
1261 entry for each lease.
c5bc8b1a 1262
01a44a77 1263- Fix the trace code which was broken by the changes to the DDNS code.
d0a10f6a 1264
01a44a77
SR
1265- Update the fsync code to work with the changes to the DDNS code. It now
1266 uses a timer instead of noticing if there are no more packets to process.
dc9d7b08 1267
01a44a77
SR
1268- When constructing the DNS name structure from a text string append
1269 the root to relative names. This satisfies a requirement in the DNS
1270 library that names be absolute instead of relative and prevents DHCP
1271 from crashing. [ISC-Bugs #21054]
a24b9f23 1272
01a44a77
SR
1273- "The LDAP Patch" that has been circulating for some time, written by
1274 Brian Masney and S.Kalyanasundraram and maintained for application to
1275 the DHCP-4 sources by David Cantrell has been included. Please be
1276 advised that these sources were contributed, and do not yet meet the
1277 high standards we place on production sources we include by default.
1278 As a result, the LDAP features are only included by using a compile-time
1279 option which defaults off, and if you enable it you do so under your
1280 own recognizance. We will be improving this software over time.

1286! Accept a client id of length 0 while hashing. Previously the server would
1287 exit if it attempted to hash a zero length client id, providing attackers

1293- Modify the exception handling for initial context creation. Previously
1294 we would try and clean up before exiting. This could present problems
1295 when the cleanup required part of the context that wasn't available. It
1296 also didn't do much as we exited afterwards anyway. Now we simply log
1297 the error and exit. [ISC-Bugs #21093]

SR
1299- A bug was fixed that could cause the DHCPv6 server to advertise/assign a
1300 previously allocated (active) lease to a client that has changed subnets,
1301 despite being on different shared networks. Dynamic prefixes specifically
1302 allocated in shared networks also now are not offered if the client has
1303 moved. [ISC-Bugs #21152]

1310- Modify the determination of the default TTL to use for DDNS updates.
1311 The user may still configure the ttl via ddns-ttl. The default for
1312 both v4 and v6 is now 1/2 the (preferred) lease time with a limit. The
1313 previous defaults (1/2 lease time without a limit for v4 and a default

1517- 'dhclient' no longer waits a random interval after first starting up to

1782! Previously the server code was relaxed to allow packets with zero
1783 length client ids to be processed. Under some situations use of
1784 zero length client ids can cause the server to go into an infinite
1785 loop. As such ids are not valid according to RFC 2132 section 9.14
1786 the server no longer accepts them. Client ids with a length of 1
1787 are also invalid but the server still accepts them in order to
1788 minimize disruption. The restriction will likely be tightened in
1789 the future to disallow ids with a length of 1.

DH
1952- Failover port configuration can now be left to defaults (port 647) as
1953 described in the -12 revision of the Failover draft (and assigned by
4b97eaff 1954 IANA). Thanks in part to a patch from David Cantrell at Red Hat.
adbef119 1955

DH
1956- If configured, dhclient may now transmit to an anycast MAC address,
1957 rather than using a broadcast address. Thanks to a patch from David
1958 Cantrell at Red Hat.
1959

PS
1960- Added client support for setting interface MTU and metric, thanks to
1961 Roy "UberLord" Marples <roy@marples.name>.

a41d7a25
PS
1963- Added client -D option to specify DUID type to send.
1964
9e3eb22a
DH
1965- A new failover configuration parameter has been introduced for those
1966 environments where DHCP servers can be reasonably guaranteed to be
1967 "down" when the failover TCP socket is severed, "auto-partner-down".
1968 This parameter is not generally safe, and by default is disabled, so
1969 please carefully review the documentation of this parameter in the
1970 dhcpd.conf(5) manpage before determining to use it yourself.
1971
33ea4622
DH
1972- Added a configuration function, 'gethostname()', which calls the system
1973 function of the same name and presents the results as a data expression.
1974 This function can be used to incorporate the system level hostname of
1975 the system the DHCP software is operating on in responses or queries (such
1976 as including a failover partner's hostname in a dhcp message or binding
1977 scope, or having a DHCP client send any system hostname in the host-name or
1978 FQDN options by default).
1979
5a671e87
DH
1980- The dhcp-renewal-time and dhcp-rebinding-time options may now be configured
1981 for DHCPv4 operation and used independently of the dhcp-lease-time
1982 calculations. Invalid renew and rebinding times (e.g., greater than the
1983 determined lease time) are omitted.
1984
adb95d23 1985- Processing the DHCP to DNS server transactions in an asynchronous fashion,
45adf35c 1986 the DHCP server or client can now continue with its processing while
98bf1607 1987 awaiting replies from the DNS server.
c900c5b2
DH
1988
1989- The 'hardware [ethernet|etc] ...;' parameter in host records has been
1990 extended to attempt to match DHCPv6 clients by the last octets of a
1991 DUID-LL or DUID-LLT provided by the client.

47e6eb82
DH
1999- The notorious 'option <unknown> ... larger than buffer' log line,
2000 which is seen in some malformed DHCP client packets, was modified.
2001 It now logs the universe name, and does not log the length values
2002 (which are bogus corruption read from the packet anyway). It also
2003 carries a hopefully more useful explanation.
2004
159c89d7
EH
2005- Suppress spurious warnings from configure about --datarootdir
2006
1aa0fe5e
DH
2007- A bug was fixed that caused the server not to answer some valid Solicit
2008 and Request packets, if the dynamic range covering any requested addresses
2009 had been deleted from configuration.
2010
cd51403d
SR
2011- Update the code to deal with GCC 4.3. This included two sets of changes.
2012 The first is to the configuration files to include the use of
571c38b0 2013 AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS. The second is to deal with return values that
cd51403d

2019 free not on its queue' error messages, thanks to a patch from Frode
2020 Nordahl.

2022- Fix a build error in dhcrelay, using older versions of gcc with
2023 dhcpv6 disabled.

DH
2028- Fixed a cosmetic bug where pretty-printing valid domain-search options would
2029 result in an erroneous error log message ('garbage in format string').
2030
f9453d21
DH
2031- A bug in DLPI packet transmission (Solaris, HP/UX) that caused the server
2032 to stop receiving packets is fixed. The same fix also means that the MAC
2033 address will no longer appear 'bogus' on DLPI-based systems.
2034
2035- A bug in select handling was discovered where the results of one select()
2036 call were discarded, causing the server to process the next select() call
2037 and use more system calls than required. This has been repaired - the
2038 sockets will be handled after the first return from select(), resulting in
2039 fewer system calls.
2040
a3dcc0b1
DH
2041- The update-conflict-detection feature would leave an FQDN updated without
2042 a DHCID (still currently implemented as a TXT RR). This would cause later
2043 expiration or release events to fail to remove the domain name. The feature
2044 now also inserts the client's up to date DHCID record, so records may safely
2045 be removed at expiration or release time. Thanks to a patch submitted by
2046 Christof Chen.
2047
95fd7038
DH
2048- Memory leak in the load_balance_mine() function is fixed. This would
2049 leak ~20-30 octets per DHCPDISCOVER packet while failover was in use
2050 and in normal state.
2051
2052- Various compilation fixes have been included for the memory related
2053 DEBUG #defines in includes/site.h.
2054
8a3c1e33
PS
2055- Fixed Linux client script 'unary operator expected' errors with DHCPv6.
2056
2057- Fixed setting hostname in Linux hosts that require hostname argument
2058 to be double-quoted. Also allow server-provided hostname to
2059 override hostnames 'localhost' and '(none)'.

DH
2061- Fixed failover reconnection retry code to continue to retry to reconnect
2062 rather than restarting the listener.

DH
2064- Compilation on Solaris with USE_SOCKETS defined in includes/site.h has
2065 been repaired. Other USE_ overrides should work better.
2066
2067- A check for the local flavor of IFNAMSIZ had a broken 'else' condition,
2068 that probably still resulted in the correct behaviour (but wouldn't use
2069 a larger defined value provided by the host OS).
2070
350576c5
DH
2071- Fixed a bug where an OMAPI socket disconnection message would not result
2072 in scheduling a failover reconnection, if the link had not negotiated a
2073 failover connect yet (e.g.: connection refused, asynch socket connect()
2074 timeouts).

2076- A bug was fixed that caused the 'conflict-done' state to fail to be parsed
2077 in failover state records.
2078
8a4e543b
DH
2079! A stack overflow vulnerability was fixed in dhclient that could allow
2080 remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands as root on the system,
2081 or simply terminate the client, by providing an over-long subnet-mask
1b12d999 2082 option. CERT VU#410676 - CVE-2009-0692
8a4e543b 2083

DH
2087- Versions 3.0.x syntax with multiple name->code option definitions is now
2088 supported. Note that, similarly to 3.0.x, for by-code lookups only the
2089 last option definition is used.
2090
d453265f
PS
2091- Fixed a bug where a time difference of greater than 60 seconds between a
2092 failover pair could cause the primary to crash on contact with the
2093 secondary. Thanks to a patch from Steinar Haug.
2094
3e29af1e
PS
2095- Don't look for IPv6 interfaces on Linux when running in DHCPv4 mode.
2096 Thanks to patches from Matthew Newton and David Cantrell.
2097
b8d45c67
DH
2098- Secondary servers in a failover pair will now perform ddns removals if
2099 they had performed ddns updates on a lease that is expiring, or was
2100 released through the primary. As part of the same fix, stale binding scopes
2101 will now be removed if a change in identity of a lease's active client is
2102 detected, rather than simply if a lease is noticed to have expired (which it
2103 may have expired without a failover server noticing in some situations).
2104
583c1c16
DH
2105- A patch supplied by David Cantrell at RedHat was applied that detects
2106 invalid calling parameters given to the ns_name_ntop() function.
2107 Specifically, it detects if the caller passed a pointer and size pair
2108 that causes the pointer to integer-wrap past zero.
2109
e4e3a2ab
DH
2110! Fixed a fenceposting bug when a client had two host records configured,
2111 one using 'uid' and the other using 'hardware ethernet'. CVE-2009-1892
95f5d38c 2112
875e99dc
SR
2113- Fixed the check in the dhcp_interface_signal_handler routine to verify
2114 the existence of the linked signal handler before calling it.
2115
2267da84
DH
2116- Both host and subnet6 configuration groups are now included whether a
2117 fixed-address6 (DHCPv6) is in use or not. Host scoped configuration takes
2118 precedence. This fixes two bugs, one where host scoped configuration
2119 would not be included from a non-fixed-address6 host record, and the equal
2120 and opposite bug where subnet6 scoped configuration would not be used when
571c38b0 2121 over-riding values were not present in a matching fixed-address6 host
2267da84
DH
2122 configuration.
2123
cd3f0b9b
DH
2124- ./configure now checks to ensure the intX_t and u_intX_t types are defined,
2125 correcting a compilation failure when using Sun's compiler.
2126
0493fdca
SR
2127- Modified the handling of a connection to avoid releasing the omapi io
2128 object for the connection while it is still in use. One symptom from
2129 this error was a segfault when a failover secondary attempted to connect
2130 to the failover primary if their clocks were not synchronized.
2131
95bba8b6
SR
2132- Clean up to allow compilation with gcc 2.95.4 on FreeBSD. Remove an
2133 extra semi-colon from common/dns.c and moved setting a variable to NULL
2134 in server/dhcpv6.c to allow the compiler to decide that the variable
9a111ee8 2135 was always properly set.

DH
2142 Changes since 4.1.0a2
2143
2144- A cosmetic bug in DHCPDECLINE processing was fixed which caused all
2145 successful DHCPDECLINEs to be logged as "not found" rather than
2146 "abandoned".

2150- Some failover debugging #defines have been better defined and some
2151 high frequency messages moved to a deeper debugging symbol.
2152
2153- The CLTT parameter in failover is now only updated by client activity,
2154 and not by failover binding updates (taking on the peer's CLTT).
2155
2156- Failover BNDUPD messages are now discarded if they conflict with an
d7ac7a27 2157 update that has been transmitted, but not acknowledged.
1387545f 2158

DH
2159- A bug cleaning up unknown-xxx temporary option definitions was fixed.

fbcee149
DH
2161- Delayed-ack is now a compile-time option, compiled out by default.
2162 This feature is simply too experimental for right now, and causes
2163 some problems to some failover installations. We will revisit this
2164 in future releases.
2165
f1672d89
DH
2166- The !inet_pton() call in res_mkupdrec was adjusted to '<= 0' as
2167 inet_pton returns either 1, 0, or -1.
2168
236d3a99
DH
2169- A dhclient-script for MacOS X has been included, which enables
2170 'dhclient -6' support.

efa5e6b9
DH
2172- DDNS removal routines were updated so that the DHCID is not removed until
2173 the client has been deprived of all A and AAAA records (not only the last
2174 one of either of those). This resolves a bug where dual stack clients
2175 would not be able to regain their names after either expiration event.

DH
2221- DHCPv6 vendor-class options (VSIO) are now only sent when they appear
2222 on the DHCPv6 ORO. This resolves a bug where VSIO options were placed
2223 in IA_NA encapsulated options fields.

7d6180be
DH
2241- A bug in subnet6 parsing where options contained in subnet6 clauses would
2242 not be applied to clients addressed within that network was repaired.
2243
2244- When configuring a "subnet {}" or "subnet6 {}" without an explicit
2245 shared-network enclosing it, the DHCP software would synthesize a
2246 shared-network to contain the subnet. However, all configuration
2247 parameters within the subnet more intuitively belong "to any client
2248 on that interface", or rather the synthesized shared-network. So,
2249 when a shared-network is synthesized, it is used to contain the
2250 configuration present inside the subnet {} clause. This means that
2251 the configuration will be valid for all clients on that network, not
2252 just those addressed out of the stated subnet. If you intended the
2253 opposite, the workaround is to explicitly configure an empty
2254 shared-network.
2255
2256- A bug was fixed where Information-Request processing was not sourcing
2257 configured option values.
2258
2259- A warning was added since the DHCPv6 processing software does not yet
2260 support class statements.

2263 selection were repaired.

2265- The v6 BSD socket method was updated to use a single UDP BSD socket
2266 no matter how many interfaces are involved, differentiating the
2267 interfaces the packets were received on by the interface index supplied
2268 by the OS.
2269
2270- The relay agent no longer listens to the All DHCP Servers Multicast
2271 address.

FD
2310- Timer granularity is now 1/100s in the DHCPv6 client.
2311
01a54c17
EH
2312- The dhclient-script was updated to create a host route for the default
2313 gateway if the supplied subnet mask for an IPv4 address was a /32. This
2314 allows the client to work in 'captive' network environments, where the
2315 operator does not want clients to crosstalk directly.
2316
adb95d23 2317- MINUS tokens should be parsable again.
01a54c17
EH
2318
2319- Multiple (up to "delayed-ack x;" maximum) DHCPv4 packets are now queued and
2320 released in bursts after single fsync() events when the upper limit is
2321 reached or if the receiving sockets go dry. The practical upshot is
2322 that fsync-coupled server performance is now multiplicitively increased.
2323 The default delayed ack limit is 28. Thanks entirely to a patch from
2324 Christof Chen.
2325
2326 Changes since 4.0.0 (bug fixes)
2327

2333- Fixed "--version" flag in dhcrelay
2334
2335- The 'min-secs' configuration parameter's log message has been updated to
2336 be more helpful.
2337
2338- The warning logged when an address range doesn't fit in the subnets
2339 they were declared has been updated to be more helpful and identify the
2340 typo in configuration that created the spanning addresses.
2341
2342- A bug in failover pool rebalancing that caused POOLREQ message ping-pongs
2343 was repaired.
2344
2345- A flaw in failover pool rebalancing that could cause POOLREQ messages to
2346 be sent outside of the min-balance/max-balance scheduled intervals has
2347 been repaired.
2348
2349- A cosmetic bug during potential-conflict recovery that caused the peer's
2350 'conflict-done' state message to be logged as 'unknown-state' has been

DH
2353- A bug was fixed where the 'giaddr' may be used to find the client's subnet
2354 rather than its own 'ciaddr'.
2355
41d4652f
DH
2356- A log message was introduced to clarify the situation where a failover
2357 'address' parameter (the server's local address) did not resolve to an
2358 IPv4 address.
2359
2c9bf1f4
DH
2360- The minimum site code value was set to 224 in 3.1.0 to track RFC3942. This
2361 broke a lot of legacy site local configurations. The new code in place will
2362 track site local space minimum option codes and logs a warning to encourage
2363 updates and exploration of site local code migration problems. Option
2364 codes less than 128 in site local spaces remain inaccessible.
2365
2366- A possible relay agent option bug was repaired where random server
2367 initialization state may have been used to signal the relay agent
2368 information options sub-option code for the 'END' of the option space.

c4d29896
SK
2372- Fixes to allow code to compile on Mac OS X Leopard (10.5).
2373
57fcb8d9
SK
2374- When server is configured with options that it overrides, a warning is
2375 issued when the configuration file is read, rather than at the time the
2376 option is overridden. This was important, because the warning was given
9a111ee8 2377 every time the option was overridden, which could create a lot of
57fcb8d9
SK
2378 unnecessary logging.
2379
219a65eb
DH
2380- Fixed a compilation problems on platforms that define a value for FDDI,
2381 which conflicts with a dhcp configuration syntax token by the same name.
2382
ffdf3c8c
DH
2383- When a failover server suspects it has encountered a peer running a
2384 version 3.0.x failover server, a warning that the failover wire protocol
2385 is incompatible is printed.
2386
2387- The failover server no longer issues a floating point error if it encounters
2388 a previously undefined option code.
2389

MA
2390- Fix startup error messages to report a missing "subnet6 declaration", rather
2391 than a missing "subnet declaration", when running as a DHCPv6 server.
2392
9a111ee8 2393- DHCPv6 client timestamp in DUID was based on the year 1970 rather
7e9f7a1b

2404- The reverse dns name for PTR updates on IPv6 addresses has been fixed to
2405 use ip6.arpa. rather than default to in-addr.arpa and require user
2406 configuration.
76db44f9 2407
e32529a5
EH
2408- dhc6_lease_destroy() and dhc6_ia_destroy() now set lease and IA pointers
2409 to NULL after freeing, to prevent subsequent accesses to freed memory.
2410
9a111ee8 2411- The DHCPv6 server would not send the preference option unless the
76db44f9
SK
2412 client requested it, via the ORO. This has been fixed, so the DHCPv6
2413 server will always send the preference value if it is configured.
e4a6be15 2414
9a111ee8
TM
2415- When addresses were passed as hints to the server in an IA, they were
2416 incorrectly handled, sometimes being treated as an error. Now the
6f76de58
SK
2417 server will treat these as hints and ignore them if it cannot supply
2418 a requested address.
2419
703873ab
DH
2420- If the client had multiple addresses, and one expired (was not renewed
2421 by the server), the client would continue to attempt to renew the same
2422 old address over and over. Now, the client will omit any expired
2423 addresses from future Confirm, Renew, or Rebind messages.
2424
2425- dhclient -6 will now select renew/rebind timers based upon the longest
2426 address expiration time rather than the shortest expiration time, in
2427 order to avoid cascading renewals in the event a server elects not to
2428 extend one of multiple IAADDR leases.
2429
b024480e
DH
2430- The server now limits clients that request multiple addresses to one
2431 address per IA by default, which can be adjusted through the
2432 "limit-addrs-per-ia" configuration option.
2433
c0216cb7
DH
2434- The DHCPv6 client now issues fresh transaction IDs on Renew and Rebind
2435 message exchanges, rather than using the most recent ID.

DH
2450- ./configure now autodetects local database locations rather than trying
2451 to put dhcpd.leases and dhclient.leases in /usr/local/var/db, which no
2452 one ever has.

2466- Relative time may now be used as a qualifier for 'allow' and 'deny' access
2467 control lists. These directives may be used to assist in re-addressing
2468 address pools without having to constantly reconfigure the server. Please
2469 see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more information on allow/deny 'after time' syntax.

DH
2472- The server will now include multiple IA_NA's and multiple IAADDRs within
2473 them, if advertised by the client. It still only seeks to allocate one
2474 new address.

75135a3f 2478- Use different paths for PID and lease files when running in DHCPv4
adb95d23 2479 or DHCPv6 mode, so that servers for both protocols can be run
75135a3f
EH
2480 simultaneously on a single interface.

2483 of service under unusual server configurations

2486
9a111ee8 2487- A number of bugs with the internal handling of lease state on the
f765ec36 2488 server have been fixed. Some of these could cause server crashes.

9a111ee8 2502- The DHCP server no longer requires a "ddns-update-style" statement,
884a458f
SK
2503 and now defaults to "none", which means DNS updates are disabled.

2505- Log messages when failover peer names mismatch have been improved to
2506 point out the problem.

9a111ee8 2508- Bug where server advertised a IPv6 address in response to a SOLICIT
1b5053b5

2515- Fixed a ./configure bug where compile tests were failing due to
2516 "-Werror" (unused variable) rather than the actual test failure. Lead
2517 to inconsistent and unworkable auto-configurations.

DH
2524- DHCPv6 server Confirm message processing has been enhanced - it no
2525 longer replies only to clients with host {} records, it now replies
2526 as directed in RFC3315 section 18.2.2 - that is, to all clients
2527 regardless of the existence of bindings.

DH
2529- A core dump during expired lease cleanup has been repaired.
2530
7285af30
DH
2531- DDNS updates state information are now stored in 'binding scopes' that
2532 follow the leases through their lifecycles. This enables DDNS teardowns
2533 on leases that are assigned and expired inbetween a server restart (the
2534 state is recovered from dhcpd.leases). Arbitrary user-specified binding
2535 scopes ('set var = "value";') are not yet supported.

2556 would segfault if a client attempted to renew a lease that had been
2557 loaded from persistent storage.
2558
45d545f0 2559- 'request' and 'also request' syntaxes have been added to accommodate
0c20eab3
DH
2560 the DHCPv6 client configuration. 'send dhcp6.oro' is no longer
2561 necessary.
2562
9a111ee8

f66f02cc
DH
2626 header files to include it (fixes a BSD 4.2 compile failure).
2627
2628- Duplicate dhclient-script updates for DHCPv6 to all provided scripts.
a512d11b 2629
4ba58919
DH
2630- DHCPv4 I/O methods that failed to sense hardware address were corrected.
2631
2632- DHCPv4 is now the default (as documented) rather than DHCPv6. The default
2633 was set to DHCPv6 to facilitate ease early development, and forgotten.
2634
2635- Corrected a segmentation violation in DHCPv4 socket processing.
2636
8ea19a71 2637- dhclient will now fork() into the background once it binds to an
45d545f0 2638 IPv6 address, or immediately if the -n flag is supplied.
8ea19a71

DH
2649 Changes since 3.1.0 (NEW FEATURES)
2650
2651- DHCPv6 Client and Server protocol support. Use '-6' to run the daemons
2652 as v6-only. Use '-4' to run the daemons as v4-only (default. There is
2653 no support currently for both.
2654
2655- Server support for multiple IA_NA options, containing at most one
2656 IAADDR option.
2657
2658- Client support for one IA_NA option, containing any number of IAADDR
2659 options.
2660
2661- Server support for the DHCPv6 Information-request message.
2662
2663- Inappropriate unicast DHCPv6 messages sent to the server are now
2664 discarded, and this has rearchitected the IO system slightly.
2665
2666- The DHCPv6 server DUID defaults to type 1, is persistently stored in
2667 the leases database, and can be over-ridden (either completely, or by
2668 specifying type 1 or type 2).
2669
2670- The server only uses Rapid-Commit if it has been configured with the
2671 Rapid-Commit option and the client requests it.
2672
2673- DDNS support. We now update AAAA records in the same place we would
2674 update A records, if we have an IPv6 address. We also generate IP6.ARPA
2675 style names for PTR records if we're dealing with an IPv6 address. Both
2676 A and AAAA updates are done using the same 'fqdn.' virtual option space
2677 (although the DHCPv4 FQDN and DHCPv6 FQDN options are formatted
2678 differently, they both use the same code here).
2679
2680- The Linux dhclient-script attempts to set and remove assigned addresses,
2681 and to configure /etc/resolv.conf from nameserver and domain name
2682 configurations. It can be extended to configure other parameters.
2683
2684- Initial DHCPv6 lease support.
2685
2686- The IO system now tracks all local IP addresses, so that the DHCP
2687 applications (particularly the dhcrelay) can discern between what frames
2688 were transmitted to it, and what frames are being carried through it which
2689 it should not intercept.
2690

DH
2691 Changes since 3.1.0 (Maintenance)
2692
2693- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for virgin leases always
2694 mapped to the primary. Virgin leases now have an interleaved preference
2695 between primary and secondary.
2696
2697- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for clients with no client
2698 identifier was sometimes mishashed to the peer. Load balancing during
2699 runtime and pool rebalancing were opposing.
2700

DH
2701- An assertion in lease counting relating to reserved leases was repaired.
2702
e9c59645
DH
2703- The subnet-mask option inclusion now conforms with RFC2132 section 3.3;
2704 it will only appear prior to the routers option if it is present on the
2705 Parameter-Request-List. The subnet-mask option will also only be
2706 included by default (if it is not on the PRL) in response to DISCOVER
2707 or REQUEST messages.
2708
2709- The FQDN option is only supplied if the client supplied an FQDN option or
2710 if the FQDN option was explicitly requested on the PRL.

DH
2719 Changes since 3.1.0b2
2720
2721- Failover rebalance events no longer play ping pong with round errors
2722 (moving leases between free and back to backup where there are an
2723 odd number of leases).
2724
2725- The 'pool' log line has been split into two messages, one before the
2726 rebalance run, and one after.
2727
2728- Any queued BNDACKs are transmitted before transmitting new BNDUPDs.
2729 This enforces the correct sequence of events for the remote server
2730 processing these messages.

2737- A new server config option "fqdn-reply" specifies whether the server
2738 should send out option 81 (FQDN). Defaults to "on". If set to "off",
2739 the FQDN option is not sent, even if the client requested it. This is
2740 needed because some clients misbehave otherwise. Thanks to Christof Chen
2741 at Allianz.

2743- Allow trace output files (-tf option) to be overwritten, rather than
2744 crashing dhcpd if the file already exists

2749- Some uninitialized values were repaired in dhcpleasequery.c that
2750 caused the server to abort.
2751
4d2eaafb
DH
2752- A new server config option, 'do-reverse-updates', has been added
2753 which causes the server to abstain from performing updates on PTR
2754 records. Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen at Allianz.

2773- Some spelling fixes.
98311e4b 2774
bd2bc2fa
DH
2775 Changes since 3.1.0a2
2776
2777- A bug was fixed where attempting to permit leasequeries results in a
2778 fatal internal error, "Unable to find server option 49".
2779
85edef5c
DH
2780- A bug was fixed in dhclient rendering the textual output form of the
2781 domain-search option syntax.
2782
bdddcb7d
DH
2783 Changes since 3.1.0a1
2784
2785- A bug in the FQDN universe that added FQDN codes to the NWIP universe's
2786 hash table was repaired.
2787
616d67cb
DH
2788- The servers now try harder to transmit pending binding updates when
2789 entering normal state.
2790
2791- UPDREQ/UPDREQALL handling was optimized - it no longer dequeues and
2792 requeues all pending updates. This should reduce the number of spurious
66c8f734
DH
2793 'xid mismatch' log messages.
2794
2795- An option definition referencing leak was fixed, which resulted in early
2796 termination of dhclient upon the renewal event.
616d67cb 2797
6708d944
DH
2798- Some default hash table sizes were tweaked, some upwards, some downwards.
2799 3.1.0a1's tables resulted in a reduction in default server memory use.
2800 The new selected values provide more of a zero sum (increasing the size
2801 of tables likely to be populated, decreasing the size of tables unlikely).
2802
45d545f0 2803- Lease structures appear in three separate hashes: by IP address, by UID,
6708d944
DH
2804 and by hardware address. One type of table was used for all three, and
2805 improvements to IP address hashing were applied to all three (so UID and
2806 hardware addresses were treated like 4-byte integers). There are now two
2807 types of tables, and the uid/hw hashes use functions more appropriate
2808 to their needs.
2809
2810- The max-lease-misbalance percentage no longer causes scheduled rebalance
2811 runs to be skipped: it still governs the schedule, but every scheduled
2812 run will attempt balance.
2813
a7ee93fe
DH
2814- A segfault bug in recursive encapsulation support has been corrected.
2815
98311e4b
DH
2816 Changes since 3.0 (New Features)
2817
2818- A workaround for certain STSN servers that send a mangled domain-name
2819 option was introduced for dhclient. The client will now accept corrupted
2820 server responses, if they contain a valid DHCP_MESSAGE_TYPE (OFFER, ACK,
2821 or NAK). The server will continue to not accept corrupt client packets.
2822
98bd7ca0 2823- Support for 'reserved' (pseudo-static) and BOOTP leases via failover
a55ccdd0 2824 was introduced.
98311e4b
DH
2825
2826- Support for adding, removing, and managing class and subclass statements
2827 via OMAPI.
2828
a55ccdd0
DH
2829- The failover implementation was updated to comply with revision 12 of
2830 the protocol draft.
2831
98311e4b
DH
2832- 'make install' now creates the initial zero-length dhcpd.leases file if
2833 one does not already exist on the system.
2834
b43c87ad 2835- RFC3942 compliance, site-local option spaces start at 224 now, not 128.
b43c87ad 2836
0b17f049
DH
2837- The Load Balance Algorithm was misimplemented. The current implementation
2838 matches RFC 3074.
2839
2727c1cf
DH
2840- lcase() and ucase() configuration expressions have been added which adjust
2841 their arguments from upper to lower and lower to upper cases respectively.
2714a8ef 2842 Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
2727c1cf 2843
febbd402
DH
2844- The dhclient 'reject ...;' statement, which rejects leases given by named
2845 server-identifiers, now permits address ranges to be specified in CIDR
7d7073e7 2846 notation. Thanks to a patch from David Boyce.
febbd402 2847
ee912528
DH
2848- The subnet-mask option is now supplied by default, but at lowest
2849 priority. This helps a small minority of clients that provide parameter
2850 request lists, but do not list the subnet-mask option because they were
2851 designed to interoperate with a server that behaves in this manner.
2852
2853- The FQDN option is similarly supplied even if it does not appear on the
2854 parameter request list, but not to the exclusion of options that do
2855 appear at the parameter request list. Up until now it had ultimate
2856 priority over the client's parameter request list.
2857
f7fdb216 2858- Varying option space code and length bit widths (8/16/32) are now
51202707 2859 supported. This is a milestone in achieving RFC 3925 "VIVSO" and
f7fdb216
DH
2860 DHCPv6 support.
2861
5e864416
DH
2862- A new common (server or client) option, 'db-time-format local;', has
2863 been added which prints the local time in /var/db/dhcpd.leases rather
2864 than UTC. Thanks to a patch from Ken Lalonde.
2865
b500bd4c
DH
2866- Some patches to improve DHCP Server startup speed from Andrew Matheson
2867 have been incorporated.
2868
2426234f
DH
2869- Failover pairs now implement 'MAC Affinity' on leases moving from the
2870 active to free states. Leases that belonged to the failover secondary
2871 are moved to BACKUP state rather than FREE upon exiting EXPIRED state.
2872 If lease rebalancing must move leases, it tries first to move leases
2873 that belong to the peer in need.
2874
2875- The server no longer sends POOLREQ messages unless the pool is severely
2876 misbalanced in the peer's favor (see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more details).
2877
2878- Pool rebalance events no longer happen upon successfully allocating a
2879 lease. Instead, they happen on a schedule. See 'man dhcpd.conf' for the
2880 min-balance and max-balance statements for more information.
2881
334bf491
DH
2882- The DHCP Relay Agent Information Option / Link Selection Sub-Option
2883 is now supported. (See RFC3527 for details).
2884
3004bebf
DH
2885- A new DDNS related server option, update-conflict-detection, has been
2886 added. If this option is enabled, dhcpd will perform normal DHCID
2887 conflict resolution (the default). If this option is disabled, it will
2888 instead trust the assigned name implicitly (removing any other bindings
2889 on that name). This option has not been made available in dhclient.
2890
567e8561
DH
2891- In those cases where the DHCP software manufactures an IP header (to
2892 transmit via bpf, lpf, etc), the IP TTL the software selects has been
2893 increased from 16 to 128. This is intended to match Microsoft Windows
2894 DHCP Client behaviour, to increase compatibility.
2895
a396d25f
DH
2896- 'ignore client-updates;' now has behaviour that is different from
2897 'deny client-updates;'. The client's request is not truly ignored,
2898 rather it is encouraged. Should this value be configured, the server
2899 updates DNS as though client-updates were set to 'deny'. That is, it
2900 enters into DNS whatever it is configured to do already, provided it is
2901 configured to. Then it sends a response to the client that lets the
2902 client believe it is performing client updates (which it will), probably
2903 for a different name. In essence, this lets the client do as it will,
2904 ignoring this aspect of their request.
2905
dba5803b
DH
2906- Support for compressed 'domain name list' style DHCP option contents, and
2907 in particular the domain search option (#119) was added.
2908
41e45067 2909- The DHCP LEASEQUERY protocol as defined in RFC4388 is now implemented.
6d103865
SK
2910 LEASEQUERY lets you query the DHCP server for information about a lease,
2911 using either an IP address, MAC address, or client identifier. Thanks
2912 to a patch from Justin Haddad.
2913
41e45067
DH
2914- DHCPD is now RFC2131 section 4.1 compliant (broadcast to all-ones ip and
2915 ethernet mac address) on the SCO platform specifically without any strange
2916 ifconfig hacks. Many thanks go to the Kroger Co. for donating the
2917 hardware and funding the development.
6d103865 2918
b543fea9
DH
2919- A new common configuration executable statement, execute(), has been
2920 added. This permits dhcpd or dhclient to execute a named external
2921 program with command line arguments specified from other configuration
2922 language. Thanks to a patch written by Mattias Ronnblom, gotten to us
2923 via Robin Breathe.
2924
b22de500
DH
2925- A new dhcp server option 'adaptive-lease-time-threshold' has been added
2926 which causes the server to substantially reduce lease-times if there are
2927 few (configured percentage) remaining leases. Thanks to a patch submitted
2928 from Christof Chen.
2929
96bbe8c5
SK
2930- Encapsulated option spaces within encapsulated option spaces is now
2931 formally supported.
2932
b8221d95
DH
2933 Changes since 3.0.6rc1
2934
2935- supersede_lease() now requeues leases in their respective hardware
2936 address hash bucket. This mirrors client identifier behaviour.
2937
c1e6c832
DH
2938 Changes since 3.0.5
2939
f546c28b
DH
2940- Assorted fixes for broken network devices: Packet length is now
2941 determined from the IP header length field to finally calculate the
2942 UDP payload length, because some NIC drivers return more data than
5a22eb63 2943 they actually received.
f546c28b
DH
2944
2945- UDP packets are now stored in aligned data structures.
2946
c1e6c832
DH
2947- A logic error in omapi interface code was repaired that might result in
2948 incorrectly indicating 'up' state when any flags were set, rather than
23e10d37
DH
2949 specifically the INTERFACE_REQUESTED flag. Thanks to a patch from
2950 Jochen Voss which got to us via Andrew Pollock at Debian.
c1e6c832 2951
75ab3070
DH
2952- A reference leak on binding scopes set by ddns updates was repaired.
2953
d69fb6a8 2954- A memory leak in the minires_nsendsigned() function call was repaired.
23e10d37 2955 Effectively, this leaked ~176 bytes per DDNS update.
d69fb6a8 2956
02428754
DH
2957- In the case where an "L2" DHCP Relay Agent (one that does not set giaddr)
2958 was directly attached to the same broadcast domain as the DHCP server,
2959 the RFC3046 relay agent information option was not being returned to the
2960 relay in the server's replies. This was fixed; the dhcp server no longer
2961 requires the giaddr to reply with relay agent information. Note that
2962 this also improves compatibility with L2 devices that "intercept" DHCP
2963 packets and expect relay agent information even in unicast (renewal)
23e10d37
DH
2964 replies. Thanks to a patch from Pekka Silvonen.
2965
2966- A bug was fixed where the BOOTP header 'sname' field had a value, the
2967 copy written to persistent storage was actually the contents of the
2968 'file' field.
02428754 2969
ecde99a3
DH
2970- A bug was fixed where the nwip virtual option space was referencing
2971 the fqdn option's virtual option space's option cache.
2972
67674ffb
DH
2973- Timestamp parsing errors that indicated missing "minutes" fields rather
2974 than the actually missing "seconds" fields have been repaired thanks to
2975 a patch from Kevin Steves.
2976
830ebc4c
DH
2977- A grammar error in the dhclient.8 manpage was repaired thanks to a patch
2978 from Chris Wagner.
2979
c759db75
DH
2980- Several spelling typos were repaired, and some cross-references to other
2981 relevant documents were included in the manpages, thanks to a patch
2982 by Andrew Pollock which got to us via Tomas Pospisek.
2983
9aa3f3a5
DH
2984- Some bugs were fixed in the 'emergency relay agent options hologram'
2985 which is used to retain relay agent option contents from when the
2986 client was in INIT or REBIND states. This should solve problems where
2987 relay agent options were not echoed from the server, even when giaddr
2988 was set.
2989
3d0c598a
DH
2990- dhclient now closes its descriptor to dhclient.leases prior to executing
2991 dhclient-script. Thanks to a patch from Tomas Pospisek.
2992
d5b6835f
DH
2993- The server's "by client-id" and "by hardware address" hash table lists
2994 are now sorted according to the preference to re-allocate that lease to
2995 returning clients. This should eliminate pool starvation problems
2996 arising when "INIT" clients were given new leases rather than presently
2997 active ones.
2998
02428754 2999 Changes since 3.0.5rc1
0a73b7b6 3000
901306d5 3001- A bug was repaired in fixes to the dhclient, which sought to run the
0a73b7b6
SK
3002 dhclient-script with the 'EXPIRE' state should it receive a NAK in
3003 response to a REQUEST. The client now iterates the PREINIT state
3004 after the EXPIRE state, so that interfaces that might be configured
3005 'down' can be brought back 'up' and initialized.
3006
87a08ccc
DH
3007- DHCPINFORM handling for clients that properly set ciaddr and come to the
3008 server via a relay aget has been repaired.
3009
6da113fb
DH
3010 Changes since 3.0.4
3011
3012- A warning that host statements declared within subnet or shared-network
3013 scopes are actually global has been added.
3014
3015- The default minimum lease time (if min-lease-time was not specified)
3016 was raised from 0 to 300. 0 is not thought to be sensible, and is
3017 known to be damaging.
3018
3019- Added additional fatal error sanity checks surrounding lease binding
3020 state count calculations (free/active counts used for failover pool
3021 balancing).
3022
dcc557db
DH
3023- Some time value size fixes in 3.0.4 brought on from FreeBSD /usr/ports were
3024 misapplied to server values rather than client values. The server no longer
3025 advertises 8-byte lease-time options when on 64-bit platforms.
3026
1b2ab55f
DH
3027- A bug where leases not in ACTIVE state would get billed to billed classes
3028 (classes with lease limitations) was fixed. Non-active leases OFFERed
3029 to clients are no longer billed (but billing is checked before offering).
3030
e48891e8
DH
3031- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated in regard to the ddns-domainname
3032 configuration option - the default configuration and results should be
3033 more clear now.
3034
6cbc6629
DH
3035- If the dhclient were to receive a DHCPNAK while it was in the RENEW
3036 state (and consequently, had an active, 'bound' address and related
3037 configuration options), it would fail to 'tear down' this information
3038 before proceeding into INIT state. dhclient now iterates the dhclient-
3039 script with the 'EXPIRE' action to cause these teardowns prior to entering
1d3bfb17 3040 INIT state. Thanks to a patch from Chris Zimmerman.
6cbc6629 3041
c5fec5fa
DH
3042- The omapi.1 manpage had some formatting errors repaired thanks to a patch
3043 from Yoshihiko Sarumaru.
3044
33e1cb2b
DH
3045- A few lines of code that were failover-specific were moved within
3046 #if defined() clauses so that compilation without failover could be
3047 made possible.
3048
2bddf829
DH
3049- The log message emitted when the 'leased-address' value was not available
3050 in dhcpd.conf "executable statements" has been updated to be more helpful.
3051 Manpage information for this value has also been updated.
3052
87578987
DH
3053- Abandoned or dissociated (err condition) leases now remove any related
3054 dynamic dns bindings. Thanks to a patch from Patrick Schoo.
3055
e77c575f
DH
3056- Attempting to write a new lease file to replace a corrupt (due to
3057 encountering non-retryable errors during writing) lease file should
3058 no longer result in an infinite recursion.
3059
2178df03
DH
3060- Host declaration hardware addresses and client identifiers may only be
3061 configured once. dhcpd will now fail to load config files that specify
3062 multiple identifiers (previous versions would silently over-ride the
3063 value with the later configured value).
3064
d5341d9b
SK
3065- Several option codes that have been allocated since our last release
3066 have been named and documented.
3067
3068- Option names of the form "unknown-123" have been removed from the in-
3069 memory hash tables. In order to support options of these names that
3070 may appear in dhclient.leases or similar in previous versions, the
3071 parser will now find the new option code definition, or mock up a
3072 generic option code definition. This should result in a smooth
3073 transition from one name to the other, as the new name is used to
3074 write new output.
3075
6da113fb
DH
3076 Changes since 3.0.4rc1
3077
3078- The dhcp-options.5 manpage was updated to correct indentation errors
3079 thanks to a patch from Jean Delvare.
3080
3081 Changes since 3.0.4b3
3082
3083- Some manual pages were clarified pursuant to discussion on the dhcp-server
3084 mailing list.
3085
88cd8aca
DH
3086 Changes since 3.0.4b2
3087
45d545f0 3088- Null-termination sensing for certain clients that unfortunately require
88cd8aca
DH
3089 it in DHCPINFORM processing was repaired.
3090
3091- The host-name option and a few others were moved from "X" format to "t"
3092 format to be compatible with new NULL handling functions.
3093
3094- DHCPINFORM processing is a little more careful about return addressing
3095 its responses, or if responding via a relay. The INFORM related
3096 messages also log the 'effective client ip address' rather than the
3097 client's supplied ciaddr (since some clients produce null ciaddrs).
3098
3099- The server was inappropriately sending leases to the RESET state in the
3100 event that multiple active leases were found to match a singly-identified
3101 client. This was changed to RELEASED (by accepting a different, ACTIVE
3102 binding, the client is implicitly releasing its lease). This repairs a
3103 bug wherein secondary servers in failover pairs detecting this condition
3104 move leases to RESET, and primaries refuse to accept that state
3105 transition (properly).
3106
3107- The memset-after-dmalloc() changes made in 3.0.4b1 have been backed out.
3108
3109 Changes since 3.0.4b1
3110
3111- Command line parsing in omshell was repaired - it no longer closes
3112 STDIN after reading one line.
3113
3114- The resolver library no longer closes the /etc/resolv.conf file
3115 descriptor it opened twice.
3116
3117- Changes to trailing NULL removal in 't' option-atoms has been rethought,
3118 it now includes 'd' (domain name) types, and tries hard not to rewind an
3119 option beyond the start of the text field it is un-terminating.
3120
3121 Changes since 3.0.3
3122
3123- A DDNS update handling function was misusing the DNS error codes, rather
3124 than the internal generic result enumeration. The result is a confusing
3125 syslog line, logging the wrong condition.
3126
3127- The DHCP Server was not checking pool balance in the case where it brought
3128 a non-ACTIVE lease out of storage for a client that was returning to use
3129 a lease it once had long ago, and had since expired.
3130
3131- Failover peers no longer bother to look for free leases to allocate when
3132 they already found the client's ACTIVE lease. DISCOVERs are load balanced
98bd7ca0 3133 whether freely-allocated or not, unless the server doubts the peer has
88cd8aca
DH
3134 leases to allocate.
3135
3136- Fixed a bug in dhcrelay agent addition code that suppressed trailing
45d545f0 3137 PAD options - it was suppressing only one trailing PAD option, rather
88cd8aca
DH
3138 than the entire block of them.
3139
3a16098f
DH
3140! Fixed some unlikely overlapping-region memcpy() bugs in dhcrelay agent
3141 option addition and stripping code. Added a few sanity checks. Although
3142 highly improbable, due to requiring the reception of a DHCP datagram well
3143 in excess of all known to be used physical MTU limitations, it is possible
3144 this may have been used in a stack overflow security vulnerability. Thanks
3145 to a patch from infamous42md.
3146
3147! Added some sanity checks to OMAPI connection/authentication code.
3148 Although highly improbable, due to having to deliver in excess of 2^32
3149 bytes of data via the OMAPI channel, not to mention requiring dhcpd to
3150 be able to malloc() a memory region 2^32 bytes in size, it was possible
3151 this might have resulted in a heap overflow security vulnerability.
3152 Thanks to a patch from infamous42md.
88cd8aca
DH
3153
3154- dmalloc() memset()'s the non-debug (data) portion of the allocated
3155 memory to zero. Code that memset()'s the result returned by dmalloc() to
3156 zero is redundant. These redundancies were removed.
3157
3158- Some type declaration corrections to u_int16_t were made in common/tr.c
4b97eaff 3159 (Token Ring support) thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
88cd8aca
DH
3160
3161- A failover bug that was allowing leases that EXPIRED or were RELEASED
3162 where tsfp and tstp are identical timestamps to languish in these
3163 transitional states has been repaired. As a side effect, lease
3164 databases should be kept more consistent overall, not just for these
3165 transitional states.
3166
3167- If the lease db is deleted out from under the daemon, and it moves to rewrite
3168 the db, it will go ahead with the operation and move the new db into place
3169 once it detects the old db does not exist.
3170
3171- dhclient now ignores IRDA, SIT, and IEEE1394 network interfaces, as it
3172 is either nonsensical or (in the case of IEEE1394) is not known to support
3173 these interfaces. Thanks to Marius Gedminas and Andrew Pollock of Debian.
3174
3175- Some previously undocumented reasons for dhclient-script invoking has
45d545f0 3176 been documented in the dhclient-script.8 manpage.
88cd8aca
DH
3177
3178- Failover potential expiry calculations (TSTP) have been corrected. Results
3179 should be substantially more consistent, and proper given the constraints.
3180
3181- Adjusted lease state validation checks in potential-conflict, to
3182 account for possible clock skew similarly to normal state, and several
3183 previously illegal transitions were made legal (ex: active->released).
3184
3185- An impossible sanity check was removed from omapi/buffer.c, thanks to a
3186 patch from 'infamous42md'.
3187
3188- An OMAPI host/network byte order problem in lease time values has been
3189 repaired.
3190
3191- Several minor bugs, largely relating to treating 8-byte time values as
3192 4-byte entities, have been repaired after careful review of the FreeBSD
3193 ports collection's patch set. Thanks to the nameless entities who have
3194 contributed to the FreeBSD ports.
3195
3196- When writing a trace file, the file is now created with permissions 0600,
3197 to help administrators avoid accidentally publicising sensitive config
3198 data.
3199
3200- The calculation of the maximum size of DHCP packets no longer includes
3201 Ethernet framing overhead. The result is that the 'Maximum Message
3202 Size' option advertised by clients, or the default value 576, is no
3203 longer reduced by 14 bytes, and instead directly reflects the IP level
3204 MTU (and the default, minimum allowed IP MTU of 576).
3205
3206- The special status of RELEASED/EXPIRED/RESET leases when a server
3207 is operating in partner-down was fixed. It no longer requires a
3208 lease be twice the MCLT beyond STOS to 'reallocate', and the expiry
3209 event to turn these into FREE leases without peer acknowledgement
3210 (after STOS+MCLT) has been repaired.
3211
3212- Compilation on older Solaris systems (lacking /usr/include/sys/int_types.h)
3213 has been repaired.
3214
3215- "append"ing a string onto the end of a "t" type option (such as the
3216 domain-name field) that had been improperly NULL-terminated by the
3217 DHCP server will no longer result in a truncated string containing
3218 only the option from the server, and not the expected appended value.
4b97eaff 3219 Thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.

3220
3221- File handlers on configuration state (config files and lease dbs) should
98bd7ca0 3222 be treated consistently, regardless of whether TRACING is defined or not.
88cd8aca 3223
45d545f0 3224- The Linux build environment has had some minor improvements - better
88cd8aca
DH
3225 sensing of 64-bit pointer sizes (only used for establishing an icmp_id),
3226 and corrections to #if operators regarding LINUX_MAJOR should it ever
3227 move to 3.[01].x.
3228
3229- The server now tries harder to survive the condition where it is unable
3230 to open a new lease file to rewrite the lease state database.
3231

3232 Changes since 3.0.3b3
3233
3234- dhclient.conf documentation for interface {} was updated to reflect recent
3235 discussion on the dhcp-hackers mailing list.
3236
3237- In response to reports that the software does not compile on GCC 4.0.0,
3238 -Werror was removed from Makefile.conf for all platforms that used it.
3239 We will address the true problem in a future release; this is a temporary
3240 workaround.
3241
3242 Changes since 3.0.3b2
3243
3244- An error in code changes introduced in 3.0.3b2 was corrected, which caused
3245 static BOOTP clients to receive random addresses.
3246
3247 Changes since 3.0.3b1
3248
3249- A bug was fixed in BOOTPREQUEST handling code wherein stale references to
3250 host records would be left behind on leases that were not allocated to the
3251 client currently booting (eg in the case where the host was denied booting).
3252
3253- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated to be more clear in regards to
3254 multiple host declarations (thanks to Vincent McIntyre). 'Interim' style
3255 dynamic updates were also retouched.
3256
98311e4b
DH
3257 Changes since 3.0.2
3258
3259- A bug was fixed where a server might load balance a DHCP REQUEST to its
45d545f0 3260 peer after already choosing not to load balance the preceding DISCOVER.
98311e4b
DH
3261 The peer cannot allocate the originating server's lease.
3262
3263- In the case where a secondary server lost its stable storage while the
3264 primary was still in communications-interrupted, and came back online,
3265 the lease databases would not be fully transferred to the secondary.
3266 This was due to the secondary errantly sending an extra UPDREQ message
3267 when the primary made its state transition to PARTNER-DOWN known.
3268
3269- The package will now compile cleanly in gcc 3.3 and 3.4. As a side effect,
3270 lease structures will be 9 bytes smaller on all platforms. Thanks to
4b97eaff 3271 Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3272
3273- Interface discovery code in DISCOVER_UNCONFIGURED mode is now
3274 properly restricted to only detecting broadcast interfaces. Thanks
4b97eaff 3275 to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3276
3277- decode_udp_ip_header was changed so that the IP address was copied out
3278 to a variable, rather than referenced by a pointer. This enforces 4-byte
3279 alignment of the 32-bit IP address value. Thanks to a patch from Dr.
3280 Peter Poeml.
3281
3282- An incorrect log message was corrected thanks to a patch from
3283 Dr. Peter Poeml.
3284
3285- A bug in DDNS was repaired, where if the server's first DDNS action was
3286 a DDNS removal rather than a DDNS update, the resolver library's
3287 retransmit timer and retry timer was set to the default, implying a
3288 15 second timeout interval. Which is a little excessive in a synchronous,
3289 single-threaded system. In all cases, ISC DHCP should now hold fast to
3290 a 1-second timeout, trying only once.
3291
3292- The siaddr field was being improperly set to the server-identifier when
3293 responding to DHCP messages. RFC2131 clarified the siaddr field as
3294 meaning the 'next server in the bootstrap process', eg a tftp server.
3295 The siaddr field is now left zeroed unless next-server is configured.
3296
3297- mockup_lease() could have returned in an error condition (or in the
3298 condition where no fixed-address was found matching the shared
3299 network) with stale references to a host record. This is probably not
3300 a memory leak since host records generally never die anyway.
3301
3302- A bug was repaired where failover servers would let stale client identifiers
3303 persist on leases that were reallocated to new clients not sending an id.
3304
3305- Binding scopes ("set var = value;") are now removed from leases allocated
3306 by failover peers if the lease had expired. This should help reduce the
3307 number of stale binding scopes on leases.
3308
3309- A small memory leak was closed involving client identifiers larger than
3310 7 bytes, and failover.
3311
3312- Configuring a subnet in dhcpd.conf with a subnet mask of 32 bits might
3313 cause an internal function to overflow heap. Thanks to Jason Vas Dias
4b97eaff 3314 at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3315
3316- Some inconsistencies in treating numbers that the lexer parsed as 'NUMBER'
3317 or 'NUMBER_OR_NAME' was repaired. Hexadecimal parsing is affected, and
3318 should work better.
3319
3320- In several cases, parse warnings were being issued before the lexical
3321 token had been advanced to the token whose value was causing an error...
3322 causing parse warnings to claim the problem is on the wrong token.
3323
3324- Host declarations matching on client identifier for dynamic leases will
3325 no longer match fixed-address host declarations (this is now identical
3326 to behaviour for host records matching on hardware address).
3327
3328 Changes since 3.0.2rc3
3329
3330- A previously undocumented configuration directive, 'local-address',
3331 was documented in the dhcpd.conf manpage.
3332
3333 Changes since 3.0.2rc2
3334
45d545f0 3335- Two variables introduced in 3.0.2b1 were used without being initialized
98311e4b
DH
3336 in the case where neither the FILE nor SNAME fields were available for
3337 overloading. This was repaired.
3338
3339- A heretofore believed to be impossible corner case of the option
3340 overloading implementation turned out to be possible ("Unable to sort
3341 overloaded options after 10 tries."). The implementation was reworked
3342 to consider the case of an option so large it would require more than
3343 three chunks to fit.
3344
3345- Many other instances of variables being used without being initialized
3346 were repaired.
3347
3348- An uninitialized variable in omapi_io_destroy() led to the discovery
3349 that this function may result in orphaned pointers (and hence, a memory
3350 leak).
3351
3352 Changes since 3.0.2rc1
3353
3354- allocate_lease() was rewritten to repair a bug in which the server would
3355 try to allocate an ABANDONED lease when FREE leases were available.
3356
3357 Changes since 3.0.2b1
3358
3359- Some dhcp-eval.5 manpage formatting was repaired.
3360
3361 Changes since 3.0.1
3362
3363- A bug was fixed in the server's 'option overloading' implementation,
3364 where options loaded into the 'file' and 'sname' packet fields were
3365 not aligned precisely as rfc2131 dictates.
3366
3367- The FreeBSD client script was changed to support the case where a domain
3368 name was not provided by the server.
3369
3370- A memory leak in 'omshell' per each command line parsed was
3371 repaired, thanks to a patch from Jarkko Torppa.
3372
3373- Log functions writing to stderr were adjusted to use the STDERR_FILENO
3374 system definition rather than '2'. This is a no-op for 90% of platforms.
3375
3376- One call to trace_write_packet_iov() counted the number of io vectors
3377 incorrectly, causing inconsistent tracefiles. This was fixed.
3378
3379- Some expression parse failure memory leaks were closed.
3380
3381- A host byte order problem in tracefiles was repaired.
3382
3383- Pools configured in DHCPD for failover possessing permission lists that
adb95d23 3384 previously were assumed to not include dynamic bootp clients are now
98311e4b
DH
3385 a little more pessimistic. The result is, dhcpd will nag you about just
3386 about most pools that possess a 'allow' statement with no 'deny' that
3387 would definitely match a dynamic bootp client.
3388
3389- The 'ddns-update-style' configuration warning bit now insists that
3390 the configuration be globally scoped.
3391
3392- Two memory leaks in dhclient were closed thanks to a patch from Felix
3393 Farkas.
3394
3395- Some minor but excellently pedantic documentation errors were fixed
3396 thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
3397
3398- Bugs in operator precedence in executable statements have been repaired
3399 once again. More legal syntaxes should be parsed legally.
3400
3401- Failing to initialize a tracefile for any reason if a tracefile was
3402 specified is now a fatal error. Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
3403
3404- Corrected a bug in which the number of leases transferred as calculated
3405 by the failover primary and sent to peers in POOLRESP responses may be
3406 incorrect. This value is not believed to be used by other failover
3407 implementations, excepting perhaps as logged information.
3408
3409- Corrected a bug in which 'dhcp_failover_send_poolresp()' was in fact
3410 sending POOLREQ messages instead of POOLRESP mesasges. This message
3411 was essentially ignored since failover secondaries effectively do not
3412 respond to POOLREQ messages.
3413
3414- Type definitions for various bitwidths of integers in the sunos5-5
3415 build of ISC DHCP have been fixed. It should compile and run more
3416 easily when built in 64-bit for this platform.
3417
3418- "allow known-clients;" is now a legal syntax, to avoid confusion.
3419
3420- If one dhcp server chooses to 'load balance' a request to its failover
3421 peer, it first checks to see if it believes said peer has a free
3422 lease to allocate before ignoring the DISCOVER.
3423
3424- log() was logging a work buffer, rather than the value returned by
3425 executing the statements configured by the user. In some cases,
3426 the work buffer and the intended results were the same. In some other
3427 cases, they were not. This was fixed thanks to a patch from Gunnar
3428 Fjone and directconnect.no.
3429
3430- Compiler warnings for some string type conversions was fixed, thanks
3431 to Andreas Gustafsson.
3432
3433- The netbsd build environments were simplified to one, in which
3434 -Wconversion is not used, thanks to Andreas Gustafsson.
3435
3436- How randomness in the backoff-cutoff dhclient configuration variable
3437 is implemented was better documented in the manpage, and the behaviour
3438 of dhclient in REQUEST timeout handling was changed to match that of
3439 DISCOVER timeout handling.
3440
3441- Omapi was hardened against clients that pass in null values, thanks
3442 to a patch from Mark Jason Dominus.
3443
3444- A bug was fixed in dhclient that kept it from doing client-side
3445 ddns updates. Thanks to a patch from Andreas Gustafsson, which
3446 underwent some modification after review by Jason Vas Dias.
3447
3448- Failover implementations disconnected due to the network between
3449 them (rather than one of the two shutting down) will now try to
3450 re-establish the failover connection every 5 seconds, rather than
3451 to simply try once and give up until one of them is restarted.
3452 Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from Infoblox, and field testing
3453 by Greger V. Teigre which led to an enhancement to it.
3454
3455- A problem that kept DHCP Failover secondaries from tearing down
3456 ddns records was repaired. Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from
3457 Infoblox.
3458
3459- 64bit pointer sizes are detected properly on FreeBSD now.
3460
3461- A bug was repaired where the DHCP server would leave stale references
3462 to host records on leases it once thought about offering to certain
3463 clients. The result would be to apply host and 'known' scopes to the
3464 wrong clients (possibly denying booting). NOTE: The 'mis-host' patch
3465 that was being circulated as a workaround is not the way this bug was
3466 fixed. If you were a victim of this bug in 3.0.1, you are cautioned
3467 to proceed carefully and see if it fixes your problem.
3468
3469- A bug was repaired in the server's DHCPINFORM handling, where it
3470 tried to divine the client's address from the source packet and
3471 would get it wrong. Thanks to Anshuman Singh Rawat.
3472
3473- A log message was introduced to help illuminate the case where the
3474 server was unable to find a lease to assign to any BOOTP client.
3475 Thanks to Daniel Baker.
3476
3477- A minor dhcpd.conf.5 manpage error was fixed.
3478
3479 Changes since 3.0.1rc14
3480
3481- The global variable 'cur_time' was centralized and is now uniformly of a
3482 type #defined in system-dependent headers. It had previously been defined
3483 in one of many places as a 32-bit value, and this causes mayhem on 64-bit
3484 big endian systems. It probably wasn't too healthy on little endian
3485 systems either.
3486
3487- A printf format string error introduced in rc14 was repaired.
3488
3489- AIX system-dependent header file was altered to only define NO_SNPRINTF
3490 if the condition used to #ifdef in vsnprintf in AIX' header files
3491 is false.
3492
3493- The Alpha/OSF system-dependent header file was altered to define
3494 NO_SNPRINTF on OS revisions older than 4.0G.
3495
3496- omapip/test.c had string.h added to its includes.
3497
3498 Changes since 3.0.1rc13
3499
3500! CAN-2004-0460 - CERT VU#317350: Five stack overflow exploits were closed
3501 in logging messages with excessively long hostnames provided by the
3502 clients. It is highly probable that these could have been used by
3503 attackers to gain arbitrary root access on systems using ISC DHCP 3.0.1
3504 release candidates 12 or 13. Special thanks to Gregory Duchemin for
3505 both finding and solving the problem.
3506
3507! CAN-2004-0461 - CERT VU#654390: Once the above was closed, an opening
45d545f0 3508 in log_*() functions was evidenced, on some specific platforms where
98311e4b
DH
3509 vsnprintf() was not believed to be available and calls were wrapped to
3510 sprintf() instead. Again, credit goes to Gregory Duchemin for finding
3511 the problem. Calls to snprintf() are now linked to a distribution-local
3512 snprintf implementation, only in those cases where the architecture is
3513 not known to provide one (see includes/cf/[arch].h). If you experience
3514 linking problems with snprintf/vsnprintf or 'isc_print_' functions, this
3515 is where to look. This vulnerability did not exist in any previously
3516 published version of ISC DHCP.
3517
3518- Compilation on hpux 11.11 was repaired.
3519
3520- 'The cross-compile bug fix' was backed out.
3521
3522 Changes since 3.0.1rc12
3523
3524- Fixed a bug in omapi lease lookup function, to form the hardware
3525 address for the hash lookup correctly, thanks to a patch from
3526 Richard Hirst.
3527
3528- Fixed a bug where dhcrelay was sending relayed responses back to the
3529 broadcast address, but with the source's unicast mac address. Should
3530 now conform to rfc2131 section 4.1.
3531
3532- Cross-compile bug fix; use $(AR) instead of ar. Thanks to Morten Brorup.
3533
3534- Fixed a crash bug in dhclient where dhcpd servers that do not provide
3535 renewal times results in an FPE. As a side effect, dhclient can now
3536 properly handle 0xFFFFFFFF (-1) expiry times supplied by servers. Thanks
3537 to a patch from Burt Silverman.
3538
3539- The 'ping timeout' debugs from rc12 were removed to -DDEBUG only,
45d545f0 3540 and reformatted to correct a compilation error on Solaris platforms.
98311e4b
DH
3541
3542- A patch was applied which fixes a case where leases read from the
3543 leases database do not properly over-ride previously read leases.
3544
3545- dhcpctl.3 manpage was tweaked.
3546
3547 Changes since 3.0.1rc11
3548
3549- A patch from Steve Campbell was applied with minor modifications to
3550 permit reverse dns PTR record updates with values containing spaces.
3551
3552- A patch from Florian Lohoff was applied with some modifications to
3553 dhcrelay. It now discards packets whose hop count exceeds 10 by default,
3554 and a command-line option (-c) can be used to set this threshold.
3555
3556- A failover bug relating to identifying peers by name length instead of
3557 by name was fixed.
3558
45d545f0 3559- Declaring failover configs within shared-network statements should no
98311e4b
DH
3560 longer result in error.
3561
3562- The -nw command line option to dhclient now works.
3563
3564- Thanks to a patch from Michael Richardson:
3565 - Some problems with long option processing have been fixed.
3566 - Some fixes to minires so that updates of KEY records will work.
3567
3568- contrib/ms2isc was updated by Shu-Min Chang of the Intel Corporation.
3569 see contrib/ms2isc/readme.txt for revision notes.
3570
3571- Dhclient no longer uses shell commands to kill another instance of
3572 itself, it sends the signal directly. Thanks to a patch from Martin
3573 Blapp.
3574
3575- The FreeBSD dhclient-script was changed so that a failure to write to
3576 /etc/resolv.conf does not prematurely end the script. This keeps dhclient
3577 from looping infinitely when this is the case. Thanks to a patch from
3578 Martin Blapp.
3579
3580- A patch from Bill Stephens was applied which resolves a problem with lease
3581 expiry times in failover configurations.
3582
3583- A memory leak in configuration parsing was closed thanks to a patch from
3584 Steve G.
3585
3586- The function which discovers interfaces will now skip non-broadcast or
3587 point-to-point interfaces, thanks to a patch from David Brownlee.
3588
3589- Options not yet known by the dhcpd or dhclient have had their names
3590 changed such that they do not contain # symbols, in case they should ever
3591 appear in a lease file. An option that might have been named "#144" is
3592 now "unknown-144".
3593
3594- Another patch from Bill Stephens which allows the ping-check timeout to
3595 be configured as 'ping-timeout'. Defaults to 1.
3596
3597 Changes since 3.0.1rc10
3598
3599- Potential buffer overflows in minires repaired.
3600
3601- A change to the linux client script to use /bin/bash, since /bin/sh may
3602 not be bash.
3603
3604- Some missing va_end cleanups thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
3605
3606- A correction of boolean parsing syntax validation - some illegal syntaxes
3607 that worked before are now detected and produce errs, some legal syntaxes
3608 that errored before will now work properly.
3609
3610- Some search-and-replace errors that caused some options to change their
3611 names was repaired.
3612
3613- Shu-min Chang of the Intel corporation has contributed a perl script and
3614 module that converts the MS NT4 DHCP configuration to a ISC DHCP3
3615 configuration file.
3616
3617- Applied the remainder of the dhcpctl memory leak patch provided by Bill
3618 Squier at ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
3619
3620- Missing non-optional failover peer configurations will now result in a soft
3621 error rather than a null dereference.
3622
3623 Changes since 3.0.1rc9
3624
3625- A format string was corrected to fix compiler warnings.
3626
3627- A number of spelling corrections were made in the man pages.
3628
3629- The dhclient.conf.5 man page was changed to refer to do-forward-updates
3630 rather than a configuration option that doesn't exist.
3631
3632- A FreeBSD-specific bug in the interface removal handling was fixed.
3633
3634- A Linux-specific Token Ring detection problem was fixed.
3635
3636- Hashes removed from as-yet-unknown agent options, having those options
3637 appear in reality before we know about them will no longer produce
3638 self-corrupting lease databases.
3639
3640- dhclient will use the proper port numbers now when using the -g option.
3641
3642- A order-of-operations bug with 2 match clauses in 1 class statement is
3643 fixed thanks to a patch from Andrew Matheson.
3644
3645- Compilation problems on Solaris were fixed.
3646
3647- Compilation problems when built with DEBUG or DEBUG_PACKET were repaired.
3648
3649- A fix to the dhcp ack process which makes certain group options will be
3650 included in the first DHCPOFFER message was made thanks to a patch from
3651 Ling Gou.
3652
3653- A few memory leaks were repaired thanks to patches from Bill Squier at
3654 ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
3655
3656- A fix for shared-networks that sometimes give clients options for the
3657 wrong subnets (in particular, 'option routers') was applied, thanks to
3658 Ted Lemon for the patch.
3659
3660- Omshell's handling of dotted octets as values was changed such that dots
3661 one after the other produce zero values in the integer string.
3662
3663 Changes since 3.0.1rc8
3664
3665- Fix a format string vulnerability in the server that could lead to a
3666 remote root compromise (discovered by NGSEC Research Team, www.ngsec.com).
3667
3668- Add additional support for NetBSD/sparc64.
3669
3670- Fix a bug in the command-line parsing of the client. Also, resolve
3671 a memory leak.
3672
3673- Add better support for shells other than bash in the Linux client
3674 script.
3675
3676- Various build fixes for modern versions of FreeBSD and Linux.
3677
3678- Fix a bad bounds check when printing binding state names.
3679
3680- Clarify documentation about fixed-address and multiple addresses.
3681
3682- Fix a typo in the authoritative error message.
3683
3684- Make a log entry when we can't write a billing class.
3685
3686- Use conversion targets that are the right size on all architectures.
3687
3688- Increment the hop count when relaying.
3689
3690- Log a message when lease state is changed through OMAPI.
3691
3692- Don't rerun the shared_network when evaluating the pool.
3693
3694- Fix a reversed test in the parser.
3695
3696- Change the type of rbuf_max.
3697
3698- Make FTS_LAST a manifest constant to quiet warnings.
3699
3700 Changes since 3.0.1rc7
3701
3702- Fix two compiler warnings that are generated when compiling on Solaris
3703 with gcc. These stop the build, even though they weren't actually
3704 errors, because we prefer that our builds generate no warnings.
3705
3706 Changes since 3.0.1rc6
3707
3708- Don't allow a lease that's in the EXPIRED, RELEASED or RESET state
3709 to be renewed.
3710
3711- Implement lease stealing for cases where the primary has fewer leases
3712 than the secondary, as called for by the standard.
3713
3714- Add a fudge factor to the lease expiry acceptance code, (suggested
3715 by Kevin Miller of CMU).
3716
3717- Fix a bug in permit_list_match that made it much too willing to say
3718 that two permit lists matched.
3719
3720- Unless DEBUG_DNS_UPDATES is defined, print more user-friendly (and
3721 also more compact) messages about DNS updates.
3722
3723- Fix a bug in generating wire-format domain names for the FQDN option.
3724
3725- Fix a bug where the FQDN option would not be returned if the client
3726 requested it, contrary to the standard.
3727
3728- On Darwin, use the FreeBSD DHCP client script.
3729
3730- On NetBSD/sparc, don't check for casting warnings.
3731
3732- Add a flag in the DHCP client to disable updating the client's A
3733 record when sending an FQDN option indicating that the client is
3734 going to update its A record.
3735
3736- In the client, don't attempt a DNS update until one second after
3737 configuring the new IP address, and if the update times out, keep
3738 trying until a response, positive or negative, is received from the
3739 DNS server.
3740
3741- Fix an uninitialized memory bug in the DHCP client.
3742
3743- Apply some FreeBSD-specific bug fixes suggested by Murray Stokely.
3744
3745- Fix a bug in ns_parserr(), where it was returning the wrong sort
3746 of result code in some cases (suggested by Ben Harris of the
3747 NetBSD project).
3748
3749- Fix a bug in is_identifier(), where it was checking against EOF
3750 instead of the END_OF_FILE token (also suggested by Ben Harris).
3751
3752- Fix a bug where if an option universe contained no options, the
3753 DHCP server could dump core (Walter Steiner).
3754
3755- Fix a bug in the handling of encapsulated options.
3756
3757- Fix a bug that prevented NWIP suboptions from being processed.
3758
3759- Delete the FTS_BOOTP and FTS_RESERVED states and implement them
3760 as modifier flags to the FTS_ACTIVE state, as called for in the
3761 failover protocol standard.
3762
3763- Fix bugs in the pool merging code that resulted in references and
3764 dereferences of null pointers. This bug had no impact unless the
3765 POINTER_DEBUG flag was defined.
3766
3767- In the server, added a do-forward-updates flag that can be used to
3768 disable forward updates in all cases, so that sites that want the
3769 clients to take sole responsibility for updating their A record can
3770 do so.
3771
3772- Make it possible to disable optimization of PTR record updates.
3773
3774 Changes since 3.0.1rc5
3775
3776- Include some new documentation and changes provided by Karl Auer.
3777
3778- Add a workaround for some Lexmark printers that send a double-NUL-
3779 terminated host-name option, which would break DNS updates.
3780
3781- Fix an off-by-one error in the MAC-address checking code for
3782 DHCPRELEASE that was added in 3.0.1rc5.
3783
3784- Fix a bug where client-specific information was not being discarded
3785 from the lease when it expired or was released, resulting in
3786 problems if the lease was reallocated to a different client.
3787
3788- If more than one allocation pool is specified that has the same set
3789 of constraints as another allocation pool on the same shared
3790 network, merge the two pools.
3791
3792- Don't print an error in fallback_discard, since this just causes
3793 confusion and does not appear to be helping to encourage anyone to
3794 fix this bug.
3795
3796 Changes since 3.0.1rc4
3797
3798- Fix a bug that would cause the DHCP server to spin if asked to parse
3799 a certain kind of incorrect statement.
3800
3801- Fix a related bug that would prevent an error from being reported in
3802 the same case.
3803
3804- Additional documentation.
3805
3806- Make sure that the hardware address matches the lease when
3807 processing a DHCPRELEASE message.
3808
3809 Changes since 3.0.1rc3
3810
3811- A minor bug fix in the arguments to a logging function call.
3812- Documentation update for dhcpd.conf.
3813
adbef119 3814 Changes since 3.0.1rc2
98311e4b
DH
3815
3816- Allow the primary to send a POOLREQ message. This isn't what the current
3817 failover draft says to do, so we may have to back it out if I can't get the
3818 authors to relent, but the scheme for balancing that's specified in the
3819 current draft seems needlessly hairy, so I'm floating a trial balloon.
3820 The rc1 code did not implement the method described in the draft either.
3821
adbef119 3822 Changes since 3.0.1rc1
98311e4b
DH
3823
3824- Treat NXDOMAIN and NXRRSET as success when we are trying to delete a
3825 domain or RRSET. This allows the DHCP server to forget about a name
3826 it added to the DNS once it's been removed, even if the DHCP server
3827 wasn't the one that removed it.
3828
3829- Install defaults for failover maximum outstanding updates and maximum
3830 silent time. This prevents problems that might occur if these values
3831 were not configured.
3832
3833- Don't do DDNS deletes if ddns-update-style is none.
3834
3835- Return relay agent information options in DHCPNAK. This prevents DHCPNAK
3836 messages from being dropped when the relay agent information option contains
3837 routing information.
3838
3839- Fix a problem where coming up in recover wouldn't result in an update
3840 request being sent.
3841
3842- Add some more chatty messages when we start a recovery update and when it's
3843 done.
3844
3845- Fix a possible problem where some state might have been left around
3846 after the peer lost contact and regained contact about how many updates
3847 were pending.
3848
3849- Don't nix a lease update because of a lease conflict. This test has
3850 never (as far as I know) prevented a mistake, and it appears to cause
3851 problems with failover.
3852
3853- Add support in rc history code for keeping a selective history, rather
3854 than a history of all references and dereferences. This code is only used
3855 when extensive additional debugging is enabled.
3856
adbef119 3857 Changes since 3.0
98311e4b
DH
3858
3859- Make allocators for hash tables. As a side effect, this fixes a memory
3860 smash in the subclass allocation code.
3861
3862- Fix a small bug in omshell where if you try to close an object when
3863 no object is open, it dumps core.
3864
3865- Fix an obscure coredump that could occur on shutdown.
3866
3867- Fix a bug in the recording of host declaration rubouts in the lease file.
3868
3869- Fix two potential spins in the host deletion code.
3870
3871- Fix a core dump that would happen if an application tried to update
3872 a host object attribute with a null value.
3873
3874 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 12
3875
3876- Fix a memory leak in the evaluation code.
3877
3878- Fix an obscure core dump.
3879
3880- Print a couple of new warnings when parsing the configuration file
3881 when crucial information is left out.
3882
3883- Log "no free leases" as an error.
3884
3885- Documentation updates.
3886
3887 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 11
3888
3889- Always return a subnet selection option if one is sent.
3890
3891- Fix a warning that was being printed because an automatic data
3892 structure wasn't zeroed.
3893
3894- Fix some failover state transitions that were being handled
3895 incorrectly.
3896
3897- When supersede_lease is called on a lease whose end time has already
3898 expired, but for which a state transition has not yet been done, do
3899 a state transition. This fixes the case where if the secondary
3900 allocated a lease to a client and the lease "expired" while the
3901 secondary was in partner-down, no expiry event would actually
3902 happen, so the lease would remain active until the primary was
3903 restarted.
3904
3905 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 10
3906
3907- Fix a bug that was preventing released leases from changing state
3908 in failover-enabled pools.
3909
3910- Fix a core dump in the client identifier finder code (for host
3911 declarations).
3912
3913- Finish fixing a bug where bogus data would sometimes get logged to
3914 the dhclient.leases file because it was opened as descriptor 2.
3915
3916- Fix the Linux dhclient-script according to suggestions made by
3917 several people on the dhcp-client mailing list.
3918
3919- Log successful DNS updates at LOG_INFO, not LOG_ERROR.
3920
3921- Print an error message and refuse to run if a failover peer is
3922 defined but not referenced by any pools.
3923
3924- Correct a confusing error message in failover.
3925

d758ad8c
TL
3938 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8 Patchlevel 1
3939
3940- Fix a parsing bug that broke dns updates (both interim and ad-hoc).
3941 This was introduced in rc8pl1 as an unintended result of the memory
3942 leakage fixes that were in pl1.
3943
3944- Fix a long-standing bug where the server would record that an update
3945 had been done for a client with no name, even though no update had
3946 been done, and then when the client's lease expired the deletion of
3947 that nonexistant record would time out because the name was the null
9a111ee8 3948 string.
d758ad8c
TL
3949
3950- Clean up the omshell, dhcpctl and omapi man pages a bit.

3952 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8
3953
3954- Fix a bug that could cause the DHCP server to spin if
3955 one-lease-per-client was enabled.
3956
3957- Fix a bug that was causing core dumps on BSD/os in the presence of
3958 malformed packets.
3959
3960- In partner-down state, don't restrict lease lengths to MCLT.
3961
3962- On the failover secondary, record the MCLT received from the primary
3963 so that if we come up without a connection to the primary we don't
3964 wind up giving out zero-length leases.
3965
3966- Fix some compilation problems on BSD/os.
3967
3968- Fix a bunch of memory leaks.
3969
3970- Fix a couple of bugs in the option printer.
3971
3972- Fix an obscure error reporting bug in the dns update code, and also
3973 make the message clearer when a key algorithm isn't supported.
3974
3975- Fix a bug in the tracing code that prevented trace runs that used
3976 tcp connections from being played back.
3977
3978- Add some additional debugging capability for catching memory leaks
3979 on exit.
3980
3981- Make the client release the lease correctly on shutdown.
3982
3983- Add some configurability to the build system.
3984
3985- Install omshell manual page in man1, not man8.
3986
3987- Craig Gwydir sent in a patch that fixes a long-standing bug in the
3988 DHCP client that could cause core dumps, but that for some reason
3989 hadn't been noticed until now.
3990
3991 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 7
3992
3993- Fix a bug in failover where we weren't sending updates after a
3994 transition from communications-interrupted to normal.
3995
3996- Handle expired/released/reset -> free transition according to the
3997 protocol specification (this works - the other way not only wasn't
3998 conformant, but also didn't work).
3999
4000- Add a control object in both client and server that allows either
4001 daemon to be shut down cleanly.
4002
4003- When writing a lease, if we run out of disk space, shut down the
4004 output file and insist on writing a new one before proceeding.
4005
4006- In the server, if the OMAPI listener port is occupied, keep trying
4007 to get it, rather than simply giving up and exiting.
4008
4009- Support fetching variables from leases and also updating and adding
4010 variables to leases via OMAPI.
4011
4012- If two failover peers have wildly different clocks, refuse to start
4013 doing failover.
4014
4015- Fix a bug in the DNS update code that could cause core dumps when
4016 running on alpha processors.
4017
4018- Fixed a bug in ddns updates for static lease entries, thanks to a
4019 patch from Andrey M Linkevitch.
4020
4021- Add support for Darwin/MacOS X
4022
4023- Install omshell (including new documentation).
4024
4025- Support DNS updates in the client (this is a very obscure feature
4026 that most DHCP client users probably will not be able to use).
4027
4028- Somewhat cleaner status logging in the client.
4029
4030- Make OMAPI key naming syntax compatible with the way keys are
4031 actually named (key names are domain names).
4032
4033- Fix a bug in the lease file writer.
4034
4035- Install DHCP ISC headers in a different place than BIND 9 ISC
4036 headers, to avoid causing trouble in BIND 9 builds.
4037
4038- Don't send updates for attributes on an object when the attributes
4039 haven't changed. Support deleting attributes on remote objects.
4040
4041- Fix a number of bugs in omshell, and add the unset and refresh
4042 statements.
4043
4044- Handle disconnects in OMAPI a little bit more intelligently (so that
4045 the caller gets ECONNRESET instead of EINVAL).
4046
4047- Fix a bunch of bugs in the handling of clients that have existing
4048 leases when the try to renew their leases while failover is
4049 operating.
4050
eaf0b302
TL
4051 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 6
4052
4053- Fix a core dump that could happen when processing a DHCPREQUEST from
4054 a client that had a host declaration that contained both a
4055 fixed-address declaration and a dhcp-client-identifier option
4056 declaration, if the client identifier was longer than nine bytes.
4057
4058- Fix a memory leak that could happen in certain obscure cases when
4059 using omapi to manipulate leases.
4060
4061- Fix some bugs and omissions in omshell.
4062

TL
4063 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 5
4064
4065- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that prevented objects in
4066 chains from having their reference counts decreased on dereference.
4067
4068- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that would prevent object
4069 chains from being freed upon removal of the last reference external
4070 to the chain.
4071
4072- Fix a number of other memory leaks in the OMAPI protocol subsystem.
4073
4074- Add code in the OMAPI protocol handler to trace memory leakage.
4075

4086
4087- Fix a bug that would prevent leases from being abandoned properly on
4088 DHCPDECLINE.
4089
4090- Fix failover peer OMAPI support.
4091
4092- In failover, correctly handle expiration of leases. Previously,
4093 leases would never be reclaimed because they couldn't make the
4094 transition from EXPIRED to FREE.
4095
4096- Fix some broken failover state transitions.
4097
4098- Documentation fixes.
4099
4100- Take out an unnecessary check in DHCP relay agent information option
4101 stashing code that was preventing REBINDING clients from rebinding.
4102
4103- Prevent failover peers from allocating leases in DHCPREQUEST
4104 processing if the lease belongs to the other server.
4105
4106- Record server version in lease file introductory comment.
4107
4108- Correctly report connection errors in OMAPI and failover.
4109
4110- Make authentication signature algorithm name comparisons in OMAPI
4111 case-insensitive.
4112
4113- Fix compile problem on SunOS 4.x
4114
98311e4b 4115- If a signature algorithm is not terminated with '.', terminate it so
eaf0b302
TL
4116 that comparisons between fully-qualified names will work
4117 consistently.
4118
4119- Different SIOCGIFCONF probe code, may "fix" problem on some Linux
4120 systems with the probe not working correctly.
4121
4122- Don't allow user to type omapi key on command line of omshell.

TL
4124 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 3
4125
4126- Do lease billing on startup in a way that I *think* will finally do
4127 the billing correctly - the previous method could overbill as a
4128 result of duplicate leases.

4135 Herranz for figuring out the main problem.
4136
4137- Fix some reference counting errors on host entries that were causing
4138 core dumps.
4139
4140- Fix a byte-swap bug in the token ring code, thanks to Jochen
4141 Friedrich.
4142
4143- Fix a bug in lease billing, thanks to Jonas Bulow.
4144
4145 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 2
4146
4147- Change the conditions under which a DHCPRELEASE is actually
4148 committed to be consistent with lease binding states rather than
98311e4b 4149 using the lease end time. This may fix some problems with the
892fe689
TL
4150 billing class code.
4151
4152- Fix a bug where lease updates would fail on Digital Unix (and maybe
4153 others) because malloc was called with a size of zero.
4154
4155- Fix a core dump that happens when the DHCP server can't create its
4156 trace file.
4157
79ea3de8 4158 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 1 Patchlevel 1
87784777 4159
79ea3de8
TL
4160- Fix the dhcp_failover_put_message to not attempt to allocate a
4161 zero-length buffer. Some versions of malloc() fail if you try to
4162 allocate a zero-length buffer, and this was causing problems on,
4163 e.g., Digital Unix.
4164
4165- Fix a case where the failover code was printing an error message
4166 when no error had occurred.
4167
4168- Fix a problem where when a server went down and back up again, the
4169 peer would not see a state transition and so would stay in the
4170 non-communicating state.
4171
4172- Be smart about going into recover_wait.
4173
4174- Fix a problem in the failover implementation where peers would fail
4175 to come into sync if interrupted in the RECOVER state. This could
4176 have been the cause of some problems people have reported recently.
4177
4178- Fix a problem with billing classes where they would not be unbilled
4179 when the client lease expired.
4180
4181- If select fails, figure out which descriptor is bad, and cut it out
4182 of the I/O loop. This prevents a potentially nasty spin. I
4183 haven't heard any report it in a while, but it came up consistently
4184 in testing.
4185
4186- Fix a bug in the relay agent where if you specified interfaces on
4187 the command line, it would fail.
4188
4189- Fix a couple of small bugs in the omapi connection object (no known
4190 user impact).
4191
4192- Add the missing 3.0 Beta 1 lease conversion script.
4193
4194- Read dhcp client script hooks if they exist, rather than only if
4195 they're executable.

4208 Compaq Alpha systems. This patchlevel is not a release candidate
4209 because of this bug. The bug should be straightforward to fix, so
4210 a new release candidate is expected shortly.

4236- Fix a bug in the DNS update code where a status code was not being
4237 checked. This may have been causing core dumps.
4238
4239- When parsing the lease file, if a lease declaration includes a
4240 billing class statement, and the lease already has a billing class,
4241 unbill the old class.
4242
4243- When processing failover transactions, where acks will be deferred,
4244 process the state transition immediately.
4245
4246- Don't try to use the new SIOCGIFCONF buffer size detection code on
4247 Linux 2.0, which doesn't provide this functionality.

4253- Fix a parse error in the client when setting up an omapi listener.
4254
4255- Document the -n and -g flags to the client.
4256
4257- Make sure there is always a stdin and stdout on startup. This
4258 prevents shell scripts from accidentally writing error messages into
4259 configuration files that happen to be opened as stderr.
4260
4261- If an interface is removed, the client will now notice that it is
4262 gone rather than spinning. This has only been tested on NetBSD.

4265 lease file.

4312- Implement omshell, which can be used to do arbitrary things to the
4313 server (in theory). (Damien Neil)
4314
4315- Fix a case where if a client had two different leases the server could
4316 actually dereference the second one when it hadn't been referenced,
4317 leading to memory corruption and a core dump. (James Brister)
4318
4319- Fix a case where a client could request the address of another client's
4320 lease, but find_lease wouldn't detect that the other client had it, and
4321 would attempt to allocate it to the client, resulting in a lease conflict
4322 message.
4323
4324- Fix a case where a client with more than one client identifier could be
4325 given a lease where the hardware address was correct but the client
4326 identifier was not, resulting in a lease conflict message.
4327
98311e4b 4328- Fix a problem where the server could write out a colon-separated
3350f5b7
TL
4329 hex list as a value for a variable, which would then not parse.
4330 The fix is to always write strings as quoted strings, with any
4331 non-printable characters quoted as octal escape sequences. So
4332 a file written the old way still won't work, but new files written
4333 this way will work.

4338 break any configuration files that use the option-nnn convention.
4339 If you want to continue to use this convention for some options,
4340 please be sure to write a definition, like this:
4341
4342 option option-nnn code nnn = string;

4347 DHCPREQUEST/DHCPACK/DHCPREQUEST/DHCPNAK sequence. This was the
4348 result of a deceptively silly bug in supersede_lease.

4363- Add support for transaction tracing. This allows the state of the
4364 DHCP server on startup, and all the subsequent transactions, to be
4365 recorded in a file which can then be played back to reproduce the
4366 behaviour of the DHCP server. This can be used to quickly
4367 reproduce bugs that cause core dumps or corruption, and also for
4368 tracking down memory leaks.
4369
4370- Incorporate some bug fixes provided by Joost Mulders for the DLPI
4371 package which should clear up problems people have been seeing on
4372 Solaris.
4373
4374- Fix bugs in the handling of options stored as linked lists (agent
4375 options, fqdn options and nwip options) that could cause memory
4376 corruption and core dumps.

4423
4424- Finish fixing a long-standing bug in the agent options code. This
4425 was causing core dumps and failing to operate correctly - in
4426 particular, agent option stashing wasn't working. Agent option
4427 stashing should now be working, meaning that agent options can be
4428 used in class statements to control address allocation.
4429

4440 transmitting packets to the server. Handy for debugging; not much
4441 practical use otherwise.

4452- Work around the Win98 DHCP client, which NUL-terminates the FQDN
4453 option.

4455- Work around Win98 and Win2k clients that will claim they want to do
4456 the update even when they don't have any way to do it.
4457
4458- Fix some log messages that can be printed when failover is operating
4459 that were not printing enough information.
4460
4461- It was possible for a DHCPDISCOVER to get an allocation even when
4462 the state machine said the server shouldn't be responding.
4463
4464- Don't load balance DHCPREQUESTs from clients in RENEWING and
4465 REBINDING, since in RENEWING, if we heard it, it's for us, and in
4466 REBINDING, the client wouldn't have got to REBINDING if its primary
4467 were answering.

4480 decoder that would prevent any key with an 'x' in its base64
4481 representation from working correctly.
4482
4483- Thanks to Chris Cheney and Michael Sanders, we have a fix for the
4484 hang that they both spotted in the DHCP server - when
4485 one-lease-per-client was set, the code to release the "other" lease
4486 could spin.
4487
4488- Fix a problem with alignment of the input buffer in bpf in cases
4489 where two packets arrive in the same bpf read.
4490
4491- Fix a problem where the relay agent would crash if you specified an
4492 interface name on the command line.
4493
4494- Add the ability to conditionalize client behaviour based on the
4495 client state.
4496
4497- Add support for the FQDN option, and added support for a new way of
4498 doing ddns updates (ddns update style interim) that allows more than
4499 one DHCP server to update the DNS for the same network(s). This
4500 was implemented by Damien Neil with some additional functionality
4501 added by Ted Lemon.
4502
4503- Damien added a "log" statement, so that the configuration file can
4504 be made to log debugging information and other information.
4505
4506- Fixed a bug that caused option buffers not to be terminated with an
4507 end option.
4508
4509- Fixed a long-standing bug in the support for option spaces where the
4510 options are stored as an ordered list rather than in a hash table,
4511 which could theoretically result in memory pool corruption.
4512
4513- Prevent hardware declarations with no actual hardware address from
4514 being written as something unparsable, and behave correctly in the
4515 face of a null hardware address on input.
4516
4517- Allow key names to be FQDNs, and qualify the algorithm name if it is
4518 specified unqualified.

4521 failed" message, but instead says *why* the resolver failed.

4524 RFC.

4586- Fix a possible DoS attack where a client could cause the checksummer
4587 to dump core. This was a read, not a write, so it shouldn't be
4588 possible to exploit it any further than that.
4589
4590- Implement client- and server-side support for using the Client FQDN
4591 option.
4592
4593- Support for other option spaces in the client has been added. This
4594 means that it is now possible to define a vendor option space on the
4595 client, request options in that space from the server (which must
4596 define the same option space), and then use those options in the
4597 client. This also allows NWIP and Client FQDN options to be used
4598 meaningfully.
4599
4600- Add object initializer support. This means that objects can now be
4601 initialized to something other than all-zeros when allocated, which
4602 makes, e.g., the interface object support code a little more robust.
4603
4604- Fix an off-by-one bug in the host stuffer. This was causing host
