3d53b2f2 30 Changes since 4.4.2-P1 (New Features)
397b2947 31
83c52925
TM
32- BIND libraries updated to the latest version, 9.11.36. This fixes a number
33 of compilation issues on various systems, including OpenWRT. Thanks to
34 Philip Prindeville for testing on OpenWRT.
35 [Gitlab #218, #171, #180, #192]
29254896 36
f5af4b70 37- Added support for the new DHCPv4 option v6-only-preferred specified
83c52925
TM
38 in RFC 8925. A new reason code, V6ONLY, was added to the client script
39 and the client Linux script sample was updated.

41
3d53b2f2 42 Changes since 4.4.2-P1 (Bug Fixes)
6c7e6157
TM
43
44- Minor corrections to allow compilation under gcc 10.
45 [Gitlab #117]
46
33e51761
TM
47- Corrected logic in dhclient that causes it to decline DHCPv4 leases if the
48 client script exits abnormally (i.e. crashes).
49 [Gitlab #123]
50
2e914d00
TM
51- The limit on the size of lease file that can be loaded at start up
52 is now only enforced on 32-bit systems.
f853b9c8 53 [Gitlab #92]
2e914d00 54
83c52925
TM
55- The PRNG initialization has been improved. It now uses the configure flag
56 `--with-randomdev=PATH`, which specifies the device from which to read the
57 initial seed. That is typically `/dev/random` (the default value) or
58 `/dev/urandom`, but may be specified otherwise on the local system. If not
59 explicitly specified, the default device (`/dev/random`) is used. The old
60 behavior can be forced by disabling this feature (`--with-randomdev=no`).
61 If the initialization is disabled or reading from the random device fails,
62 the previous algorithm (retrieve the last four bytes of hardware addresses
63 from all network interfaces that have them, and use the current time and
64 process ID) is used.
629a4524
FD
65 [Gitlab #197]
66
0c03eaef
RB
67- Minor dhclient code fix to remove compilation warnings.
68 [Gitlab #190]
69
7de26fe7
TM
70- Removed hard-coded MD5 algorithm name in OMAPI connection logic. Prior
71 to this using any other algorithm via key-algorithm statement would
72 allow OMAPI connections to made but subsequent actions such as updating
73 an object to fail.
74 [Gitlab #148]
75
9ea5696d
TM
76- The parallel build has been improved. Thanks to Sergei Trofimovich for
77 the patch. The parallel build is still experimental, as officially the
78 BIND 9 code does not support parallel build for the libraries.
79 [Gitlab #91]
80
0427f30d
TM
81- LDAP options (ldap-gssapi-principal and ldap-gssapi-keytab) handling
82 improved. This is a contributed code that was not tested by ISC. Thank
83 you to Petr Mensik and Pavel Zhukov for the patches!
84 [Gitlab !56,!75]
85
b5fafe12
TM
86- Use option -g ipaddr in the dhcrelay to replace the giaddr sent to
87 clients with the given ipaddr to workaround bogus clients like Solaris 11
88 grub which use giaddr instead of the announced router (3) to setup its
89 default route. Thanks to Jens Elkner for the patch!

3d53b2f2
TM
92 Changes since 4.4.2 (Bug Fixes)
93
94- Corrected a buffer overwrite possible when parsing hexadecimal
95 literals with more than 1024 octets.
96 [Gitlab #182]
97 CVE: CVE-2021-25217
98
4ad524bd 99 Changes since 4.4.2b1 (Bug Fixes)
e4b6b033
TM
100
101- Added a clarification on DHCPINFORMs and server authority to
102 dhcpd.conf.5
103 [Gitlab #37]
104
5c23b618
TM
105- Only emit lease scrubbing log messages when DEBUG_FAILOVER_MESSAGES
106 is defined.
107 [Gitlab #72]
108
4ad524bd
TM
109- Added the interface name to socket initialization failure log messages.
110 Prior to this the log messages stated only the error reason without
111 stating the target interface.
112 [Gitlab #75]
113
bba906f6 114- Corrected buffer pointer logic in dhcrelay functions that manipulate
afb66401
TM
115 agent relay options. Thanks to Thomas Imbert of MSRC Vulnerabilities
116 & Mitigations for reporting the issue.
83c52925 117 [Gitlab #71]
bba906f6 118
39788b3d
TM
119- Corrected unresolved symbol errors building relay_unittests when
120 configured to build using libtool.
83c52925 121 [Gitlab #80]
39788b3d 122
cce04313 123 Changes since 4.4.1 (New Features)
a5b21e16
TM
124
125- A new configuration parameter, ping-cltt-secs (v4 operation only), has
126 been added to allow the user to specify the number of seconds that must
127 elapse since CLTT before a ping check is conducted. Prior to this, the
0cd94b5e 128 value was hard coded at 60 seconds. Please see the server man pages for
a5b21e16
TM
129 a more detailed discussion.
130 [ISC-Bugs #36283]
cce04313 131
cb89a691
TM
132- A new configuration parameter, ping-timeout-ms (v4 operation only),
133 has been added that allows the user to specify the amount of time
134 the server waits for a ping-check response in milliseconds rather
135 than in seconds (via ping-timeout). When greater than zero, the value
136 of ping-timeout-ms will override the value of ping-timeout. Thanks
137 to Jay Doran from Bluecat Networks for suggesting this feature.
0cd94b5e 138 [Gitlab #10]
cb89a691 139
2ca63671
TM
140- An experimental tool called, Keama (KEA Migration Assistant), which helps
141 translate ISC DHCP configurations to Kea configurations, is now included
142 in the distribution.
143 [Gitlab #34]
144
cce04313
TM
145 Changes since 4.4.1 (Bug Fixes)
146
147- Corrected a misuse of the BIND9 DDNS API which caused DDNS updates to be
148 carried out over TCP rather than UDP. The coding error was exposed by
149 migration to BIND9 9.11. Thanks to Jinmei Tatuya at Infoblox for
150 reporting the issue.
151 [ISC-Bugs #47757]
152
c07eb442
TM
153- Bind9 now defaults to requiring python to build. The Makefile for
154 building Bind9 when bundled with ISC DHCP was modified to turn off
155 this dependency.
0cd94b5e 156 [Gitlab #3]
9ef78585
TM
157
158- Corrected a dual-stack mixed-mode issue that occurs when both
159 ddns-guard-id-must-match and ddns-other-guard-is-dynamic
160 are enabled and that caused the server to incorrectly interpret
161 the presence of a guard record belonging to another client as
162 a case of no guard record at all. Thanks to Fernando Soto
163 from BlueCat Networks for reporting this issue.
0cd94b5e 164 [Gitlab #1]
c07eb442 165
1c779d3b
TM
166- Corrected a compilation issue that occurred when building without DNS
167 update ability (e.g. by undefining NSUPDATE).
0cd94b5e 168 [Gitlab #16]
1c779d3b 169
fce94f06
TM
170- Corrected an issue that was causing the server, when running in
171 DHPCv4 mode, to segfault when class lease limits are reached.
dfcbe359
TM
172 Thanks to Peter Nagy at Porion-Digital for reporting the matter
173 and submitting a patch.
0cd94b5e 174 [Gitlab #13]
fce94f06 175
753d458b 176- Made minor changes to eliminate warnings when compiled with GCC 9.
71277027 177 Thanks to Brett Neumeier for bringing the matter to our attention.
0cd94b5e
TM
178 [Gitlab #15]
179
180- Fixed potential memory leaks in parser error message generation
181 spotted by Coverity, CIDs: 1448191, 1448193, 1448194, 1448195
182 [Gitlab #30]
183
184- Updated URL of IEEE oui.txt in contrib/dhcp-lease-list.pl. Thanks
185 to Tommy Smith for contributing the patch.
186 [Gitlab #26]
187
188- Fixed define flags when using SO_BINDTODEVICE. Thanks to Joe LeVeque for
189 reporting the issue.
190 [GitLab #19]
191
192- Applied a patch from OpenBSD to always set the scope id of outbound
193 DHPCv6 packets. Note this change only applies when compiling under
194 OpenBSD. Thanks to Brad Smith at OpenBSD from bringing it to our
195 attention.
196 [Gitlab #33]
197
198- Modified dhclient to not discard config file leases that are
199 duplicates of server-provided leases and to retain such leases
200 after they have been used as the fallback active lease and
201 DHCP service has been restored. This allows them to be used
82e0ea57 202 more than once during the lifetime of a dhclient instance.
0cd94b5e
TM
203 This applies to DHCPv4 operation only.
204 [Gitlab #9]
205
206- Corrected a number of reference counter and zero-length buffer leaks.
afb66401
TM
207 Thanks to Christopher Ertl of MSRC Vulnerabilities & Mitigations for
208 pointing them out.
0cd94b5e
TM
209 [Gitlab #57]
210
211- Closed a small window of time between the installation of graceful
212 shutdown signal handlers and application context startup, during which
213 the receipt of shutdown signal would cause a REQUIRE() assertion to
214 occur. Note this issue is only visible when compiling with
215 ENABLE_GENTLE_SHUTDOWN defined.
216 [Gitlab #53]
217
218- Corrected a buffer overflow that can occur when retrieving zone
219 names that are more than 255 characters in length.
220 [Gitlab #20]
221
222- The "d" domain name option format was incorrectly handled as text
223 instead of RFC 1035 wire format. Thanks to Jay Doran at BlueCat Networks
224 for reporting this issue.
225 [Gitlab #2]
226
227- Improved the error message issued when a host declaration has both
228 a uid and a dhcp-client-identifier. Server configuration parsing will
229 now fail if a host declaration specifies more than one uid.
230 [Gitlab #7]
753d458b 231
4adcee93
TM
232- Updated developer's documentation on building and running unit tests.
233 Removed support for --with-atf=bind as BIND9 no longer bundles in ATF
234 source.
235 [Gitlab #35]
236
83175640
TM
237- Fixed a syntax error in ldap.c which cropped up under Ubuntu
238 18.04.1/gcc 7.4.0. Thanks to Charles Hedrick for pointing it out.
239 [Gitlab #51]
240
2661204d
TM
241- Added clarification to dhcp-options.5 section on ip-address values
242 describing the first-use DNS resolution of options with hostnames as
243 values (e.g. next-server).
244 [Gitlab #28]
245
9a2f9db5
TM
246- The option format for the server option omapi-key was changed to a
247 format type 'k' (key name); while server options ldap-port and
248 ldap-init-retry were changed to 'L' (unsigned 32-bit integer). These
249 three options were inadvertantly broken when the 'd' format content
250 was changed to comply with RFC 1035 wire format (see Gitlab #2).
251 [Gitlab #68]

cce04313 255 Changes since 4.4.0 (Bug Fixes)
6826003b
TM
256
257- A delayed-ack value of 0 (the default), now correctly disables the delayed
258 feature. A change in 4.4.0 prohibited lease updates marking leases active
259 from be written to the lease file when delayed-ack is 0. This in turn,
260 caused servers to lose active lease assignments upon restart.
261 [ISC-Bugs #47141]
262
197b26f2
TM
263! Option reference count was not correctly decremented in error path
264 when parsing buffer for options. Reported by Felix Wilhelm, Google
265 Security Team.
266 [ISC-Bugs #47140]
c5931725
TM
267 CVE: CVE-2018-5733
268
269! Corrected an issue where large sized 'X/x' format options were causing
270 option handling logic to overwrite memory when expanding them to human
271 readable form. Reported by Felix Wilhelm, Google Security Team.
272 [ISC-Bugs #47139]
273 CVE: CVE-2018-5732
197b26f2 274
d5118758
TM
275- Added use of new Bind9 compatibility header files, that are now necessary
276 to supply type definitions for primitive data types, removed from Bind9
277 proper. Altered util/bind.sh to pull from Bind9 repo on gitlab.
278 [ISC-Bugs #48072]
279 [ISC-Bugs #48071]
280
d394b602
TM
281 Changes since 4.4.0b1 (New Features)
282
283- Duplicate address detection when binding to a new IPv6 address was added
284 to the following dhclient scripts: linux,freebsd,netbsd,openbsd, and macos.
285 The scripts will check for DAD errors after binding to a new IPv6 address
286 for at most --dad-wait-time seconds. If a DAD error is detected the script
287 will exit with a value of 3, instructing dhclient to decline the address. If
288 dad-wait-time is zero (the default), DAD error checking is not peformed.
289 [ISC-Bugs 46805]
290
efd3b1e2
TM
291- Support for sending and receiving additional DHCP4 options has been added
292 to both the dhcpd and dhclient. Specifically: option codes 93,94, and 97
293 (RFC 4578); code 150 (RFC 5859); and codes 209,219, and 211 (RFC 5071).
294 Beyond configuring, sending, requesting, and receiving these options neither
295 server nor client apply any additional logic based on their values.
296 Thanks to Peter Lewis for requesting this change.
297 [ISC-Bugs 47062]
298
d638452e
TM
299 Changes since 4.4.0b1 (Bug Fixes)
300
301- Added clarifying text to dhcpd.conf.5 explaining the class match expressions
302 cannot rely on the results of executable statements.
303 [ISC-Bugs #45451]
304
db4e4aa2
TM
305- Fixed a bug which causes dhcpd and dhclient to crash on certain
306 systems when given relative path names for lease or pid files on
307 the command line. Affected systems are those on which the C library
308 function, realpath() does not support a second parameter value of
309 NULL (see manpages for realpath(3)).
310 [ISC-Bugs #46957]
311
b94669fa
TM
312- Fixed a build issue when building with embedded BIND9 under OpenBSD that
313 was causing BIND9 build to not generate dns/enumclass.h and dns/enumtype.h.
314 [ISC-Bugs #46971]
315
de964f22
TM
316- Added <dhcp>/m4/README to the distribution tarball. Some versions of
317 ac_local() treat the absence of the m4 subdirectory as error rather than
318 warning. This was causing the call to autoreconf, necessary for building
319 with libtool, to fail.
320 [ISC-Bugs #47075]
321
4aa6129a 322 Changes since 4.4.0a1 (New Features)
7512d88b 323
4aa6129a
TM
324- Added experimental support for relay port (draft-ietf-dhc-relay-port-10.txt)
325 feature for DHCPv4, DHCPv6 and DHCPv4-over-DHCPv6. Relay port has to be
326 enabled at compile time via --enable-relay-port and is fully backward
327 compatible (i.e. works with previous implementations of servers and relays
328 using the standard ports). A new --rp <relay-port> command line option
329 specifies to dhcrelay an alternate source port for upstream (i.e. toward
330 the server) messages. Thanks to Naiming Shen and Enke Chen of Cisco
331 systems for submitting these patches.
332 [ISC-Bugs #44535]
333
334- Added --release-on-roam to dhcpd server. When enabled and the server detects
335 that a DHCPv6 client (IAID+DUID) has roamed to a new network, it will release
336 the pre-existing leases on the old network and emit a log statement similar
337 to the following:
338
339 "Client: <id> roamed to new network, releasing lease: <address>"
340
341 The server will carry out all of the same steps that would normally occur
342 when a client explicitly releases a lease. This behavior is disabled by
343 default and may only be specified globally. Prior to this the server renders
344 the leases unavailable until they expire or the server is restarted. Clients
345 that need leases in multiple networks must supply a unique IAID in each IA.
346 When release-on-roam is disabled (the default) the server maintains the
347 prior behavior of making such leases unavailable until they expire or the
348 server is restarted. Clients that need leases in multiple networks must
349 supply a unique IAID in each IA. This parameter may only be specified at
350 the global level. Thanks to Fernando Soto from BlueCat Networks for
351 suggesting this change.
352 [ISC-Bugs #44576]
353 [ISC-Bugs #46849]
354
355- Support for delayed-ack is now compiled in by default. Prior to this
356 it had to be enabled at compile time via --enable-delayed-acks. The
357 default value for delayed-ack, however, has been changed from 28 to 0
358 (i.e. disabled). This was done to minimize the impact on users not
359 currently using the feature. Please note that the delayed-ack feature
360 is not currently compatible with support for DHPCv4-over-DHCPv6 so
361 when a 4to6 port command line argument enables this in the server the
362 delayed-ack value is reset to 0.
363 [ISC-Bugs #42446]
364
365- The server (-6) now honors the parameter, update-static-leases, for static
366 (fixed-address6) DHCPv6 leases. It is worth noting that because stateful
367 data is not retained by the server for static leases, each time a client
368 requests or renews a static lease, the server will perform DDNS updates for
369 it. This may have significant performance implications for environments
370 with many clients that request or renew static leases often. Similarly,
371 the DNS entries will not be removed by server when a client issues a RELEASE
372 nor if the lease is deleted from the configuration. In such cases the DNS
373 entries must be removed manually. This feature is disabled by default.
374 Thanks to both Bill Shirley and dgutier-at-cern-dot-ch for requesting
375 this change.
376 [ISC-Bugs #34097]
377 [ISC-Bugs #41054]
378 [ISC-Bugs #41450]
379
380- Added to the server (-6) a new statement, local-address6, which specifies
381 the source address of packets sent by the server. An additional flag,
382 bind-local-address6, disabled by default, binds the service socket to
383 to local-address6. Note that bind-local-address does not work with direct
384 clients: a relay has to forward packets to the server using the
385 local-address6 destination.
386 [ISC-Bugs #46084]
387
388 Changes since 4.4.0a1 (Bugs)
389
390- The server now recognizes environment variables PATH_DHCPD_DB and
391 PATH_DHCPD_PID. These had been incorrectly compiled out of the code
392 unless DHCPv6 support was disabled. Additionally, the server man
393 pages were corrected to accurately reflect how the server chooses
394 file names (see lease-file-name and pid-file-name statements). Thanks
7932503f

395 to Fernando Soto at Bluecat Networks for bringing this matter to our
396 attention.

TM
397 [ISC-Bugs #46859]
398
399- Removed an "Impossible condition" error upon exit in the dhcpd server that
400 has been shutdown via OMAPI. This condition was only apparent under Solaris
401 when building with --enable-use-sockets and --enable-ipv4-pktinfo.
402 [ISC-Bugs #36118]
403
65eed5c1 404- Corrected some minor Coverity issues: CID 1426059, 1426058, and 1426057.

0e76cb91 410 Changes since 4.3.6 (New Features)
3210786b 411
f9741514
FD
412- Added --enable-bind-install to install embedded bind includes and
413 libraries. Default is to not install them (it was the previous
414 behavior). If you'd like to change the includedir and/or libdir
5a67b030
FD
415 installation directories to something different than for ISC DHCP
416 you must pass them using the --with-bind-extra-config configuration
417 arguments.
f9741514
FD
418 [ISC-Bugs #39318]
419
007ba82a
FD
420- Added support of dynamic shared libraries with libtool. A new
421 --enable-libtool configuration parameter is available but
422 should not be used directly: *please* read the build configuration
423 section in the README file for the recommended procedure.
424 [ISC-Bugs #29402]
425
417b7b4a
TM
426- IPv6 operation now supports an EUI-64 based address allocation which will
427 calculate addresses for clients with EUI-64 DUIDs based on those DUIDs when

493- Replaced compilation option, enable-secs-byteorder, with a run-time, server
494 configuration parameter, check-secs-byte-order. When enabled, the
495 server will check for clients that do the byte ordering on the secs field
496 incorrectly. This field should be in network byte order but some clients
497 get it wrong. When this parameter is enabled the server will examine the
498 secs field and if it looks wrong (high byte non zero and low byte zero) swap
499 the bytes. The default is disabled. This parameter is only useful when

512- Added support for 'dhcp-cache-threshold' to IPv6 operation: If a client
513 renews before 'dhcp-cache-threshold' percent of its lease has elapsed
514 (default 25%), the server will reuse the allocated lease (provide a
515 lease within the currently allocated lease-time) rather than extend or
516 renew the lease. This allows the server to reply without needlessly
517 writing leases to disk. The preferred and valid lease lifetimes
518 sent to the client will be reduced by the age of the lease. The option
519 may be specified down to the pool level and is supported for all three

551 In addition, dhclient now supports a command line argument,
552 --address-prefix-len, which may be used to override the default value.
553 **WARNING**: This change may not be backwardly compatible with your
554 environment. If you are operating without a router, such as between VMs on
555 a host, you may find they cannot see each with prefix length of 128. In
556 such cases, you'll need to either provide routing or use the command line
557 parameter to set the value to 64. Alternatively you may change the default
558 at compile time by setting DHCLIENT_DEFAULT_PREFIX_LEN in includes/site.h.

700 detection to complete before initiating DHCP requests. This value is
701 propagated to the dhclient script and the script is responsible for waiting
702 the specified amount of time or until DAD has completed. If the script does
703 not support it, specifying this parameter has no effect. The default value
704 is 0 which specifies that the script should not wait for DAD. With this

709- The server nows checks both the address and length of a prefix delegation
710 when attempting to match it to a prefix pool. This ensures the server
711 responds properly when pool configurations change such that once valid,
712 "in-pool" delegations are now treated as being invalid. During lease
713 file loading at startup, the server will discard any PD leases that
714 are deemed "out-of-pool" either by address or mis-matched prefix length.
715 Clients seeking to renew or rebind such leases will get a response of
716 No Binding in the case of the former, and the prefix delegation with
717 lifetimes set to zero in the case of the latter. Thanks to Mark Nejedlo

823- Added global configuration parameter, abandon-lease-time, which determines
824 the amount of time a lease remains abandoned. The default is 84600 seconds.
825 Additionaly, the server now conducts a ping check (if ping checks are
826 enabled) prior to offering an abandoned lease to client. Our thanks to

879- ISC DHCP now follows the common convention to use the base name a
880 program is invoked with (aka argv[0], vs. a builtin name) for

1088- The server now does a better check to see if it can allocate the memory
1089 for large blocks of v4 leases and should provide a slightly better error
1090 message. Note well: the server pre-allocates v4 addresses, if you use
1091 a large range, such as a /8, the server will attempt to use a large
1092 amount of memory and may not start if there either isn't enough memory
1093 or the size exceeds what the code supports.

1096- The server will now reject unicast Request, Renew, Decline, and Release
1097 messages from a client unless the server would have sent that client the
1098 dhcp6.unicast option. This behavior is in compliance with paragraph 1 in
1099 each of the sections 18.2,1, 18.2.3, 18.2.6, and 18.2.7 of RFC 3315. Prior
1100 to this, the server would simply accept the messages. Now, in order for
1101 the server to accept such a message, the server configuration must include
1102 the dhcp6.unicast option either globally or within the shared network to
1103 which the requested lease belongs. In other words, the server will map
1104 the first IA_XX address found within the client message to a shared-network
1105 and look for the presence of the unicast option there and then globally.

1174- Corrected an issue in v6 lease file parsing. Prior to this, when encountering
1175 a lease with an address for which no configured pool exists, the server was
1176 declaring the lease file corrupt and incorrectly skipping over the subsequent
1177 entry in the file. The server will now emit a log message indicating that
1178 no pool was found for the address (or prefix) and correctly resume parsing
1179 with the next entry in the lease file. Our thanks to Michal Žejdl for
1180 reporting the issue.
1181 [ISC-Bugs #39314]
1182
1183- Be more liberal in finding a subnet group associated with a static
1184 prefix. When we added the class matching code for v6 we also added
1185 a requirement that the static prefix must be within a subnet the
1186 client was in, in order to find the proper statements. We now
1187 look for a subnet based on the prefix, failing that on the static
1188 address for the client and failing that on the shared network
1189 itself.
1190 [ISC-Bugs #38329]
1191
1192- Add a new action expression "parse_vendor_options", which can be used
1193 to parse a vendor-encapsualted-option received by the server based on
1194 the encoding specified by the vendor-option-space statement.
1195 [ISC-Bugs #36449]

1202- Relax the requirement that prefix pools must be within the subnet.
1203 This was added in as part of #32453 in order to avoid configuration

1205 within the same subnet and many people configure them in that fashion.

1239
1240- Handle an out of memory condition in the client a bit better.
1241 Thanks to Frédéric Perrin from Brocade for finding the issue
1242 and suggesting a patch.
1243 [ISC-Bugs #39279]
1244
1245 Changes since 4.3.2rc2
1246- None
1247
1248 Changes since 4.3.2rc1
1249
1250- Corrected a compilation error introduced by the fix for ISC-Bugs #37415.
1251 The error occurs on Linux variants that do not support VLAN tag information
1252 in packet auxiliary data. The configure script now only enables inclusion
1253 of the VLAN tag-based logic if it is supported by the underlying OS.
1254 [ISC-Bugs #38677]
1255
1256 Changes since 4.3.2b1
1257
1258- Specifying the option, --disable-debug, on the configure script command line
1259 now disables debug features. Prior to this, specifying --disable-debug
1260 incorrectly enabled debug features. Thanks to Gustavo Zacarias for reporting
1261 the issue.
1262 [ISC-Bugs #37780]
1263
1264- Unit test execution now uses a path augmented during configuration
1265 processing of the --with-atf option to locate ATF runtime tools, atf-run
1266 and atf-report. For most installations of ATF, this should alleviate the
1267 need to manually include them in the PATH, as was formerly required.
1268 If the configure script cannot locate the tools it will emit a warning,
1269 informing the user that the tools must be in the PATH when running unit
1270 tests.
1271 Secondly, please note that "make check" will now exit with a failure status
1272 code (non-zero) if one or more unit tests fail. This means that invoking
1273 "make check" from an upper level directory will cause the make process to
1274 STOP after the first test subdirectory with failed test(s). To force all
1275 tests in all subdirectories to run, regardless of individual test outcome,
1276 use the command "make -k check".
1277 [ISC-Bugs #38619]
1278
1279 Changes since 4.3.1
1280
1281- Corrected parser's right brace matching when a statement contains an error.
1282 [ISC-Bugs #36021]
1283
1284- TSIG-authenticated dynamic DNS updates now support the use of these
1285 additional algorithms: hmac-sha1, hmac-sha224, hmac-sha256, hmac-sha384,
1286 and hmac-sha512
1287 [ISC-Bugs #36947]
1288
1289- Added check for invalid failover message type. Thanks to Tobias Stoeckmann
1290 working with the OpenBSD project who spotted the issue and provided the
1291 patch.
1292 [ISC-Bugs #36653]
1293
1294- Corrected rate limiting checks for bad packet logging. Thanks to Tobias
1295 Stoeckmann working with the OpenBSD project who spotted the issue and
1296 provided the patch.
1297 [ISC-Bugs #36897]
1298
1299- Log statements depicting what files will be used by the server now occur
1300 after the configuration file has been processed.
1301 [ISC-Bugs #36671]
1302
1303- Addressed Coverity issues reported as of 07-31-2014:
1304 [ISC-Bugs #36712] Corrects Coverity reported "high" impact issues.
1305 [ISC-Bugs #36933] Corrects Coverity reported "medium" impact issues
1306 [ISC-Bugs #37708] Fixes compilation error in dst_api.c seen in older
1307 compilers that was introduced by #36712
1308
1309- Server now supports a failover split value of 256.
1310 [ISC-Bugs] #36664]
1311
1312- Remove unneeded error #defines. These defines were included in case
1313 external programs required the older versions of the macro. They
1314 have been #ifdeffed for now and will be removed at a future date.
1315 See site.h for the #define to include them again, but you should
1316 switch to using the DHCP_R_* versions instead of the ISC_R_* versions.
1317 Also ISC_R_MULTIPLE has been removed as it is also defined in bind.
1318 [ISC-Bugs #37128]
1319
1320- Added checks in range6 and prefix6 statement parsing to ensure addresses
1321 are within the declared subnet. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the
1322 bug report and patch.
1323 [ISC-Bugs #32453]
1324 [ISC-Bugs #17766]
1325 [ISC-Bugs #18510]
1326 [ISC-Bugs #23698]
1327 [ISC-Bugs #28883]
1328
1329- Addressed checksum issues:
1330 Added checksum readiness check to Linux packet filtering which eliminates
1331 invalid packet drops due to checksum errors when checksum offloading is
1332 in use. Based on dhcp-4.2.2-xen-checksum.patch made to the Fedora project.
1333 [ISC-Bugs #22806]
1334 [ISC-Bugs #15902]
1335 [ISC-Bugs #17739]
1336 [ISC-Bugs #18010]
1337 [ISC-Bugs #22556]
1338 [ISC-Bugs #29769]
1339 Inbound packets with UDP checksums of 0xffff now validate correctly rather
1340 than being dropped.
1341 [ISC-Bugs #24216]
1342 [ISC-Bugs #25587]
1343
1344- Added the echo-client-id configuration parameter to the server configuration.
1345 The server now supports RFC 6842 compliant behavior by setting a new
1346 configuration parameter, echo-client-id. When enabled, the server will
1347 include the client identifier option (Option code 61) if received, in its
1348 responses. The server identifier returned in NAKs (if enabled) will now
1349 be the globally defined value (if one) if the server cannot attribute the
1350 inbound request to a known subnet.
1351 [ISC-Bugs #35958]
1352 [ISC-Bugs #32545]
1353
1354- Added support of the configuration parameter, use-host-decl-names, to
1355 BOOTP request handling.
1356 [ISC-Bugs #36233]
1357
1358- Added logic to ignore the signal, SIGPIPE, which ensures write failures
1359 will be delivered as errors rather than as SIGPIPE signals on all OSs.
1360 Thanks to Marius Tomaschewski from SUSE who reported the issue and provided
1361 the patch upon which the fix is based.
1362 [ISC-Bugs #32222]
1363
1364- In the failover code, handle the case of communications being interrupted
1365 when the servers are dealing with POTENTIAL-CONFLICT. This patch allows
1366 the primary to accept the secondary moving from POTENTIAL-CONFLICT to
1367 RESOLUTION-INTERRUPTED as well as handling the bind update process better.
1368 In addition the code to resend update or update all requests has been
1369 modified to send requests more often.
1370 [ISC-Bugs #36810]
1371 [ISC-Bugs #20352]
1372
1373- By default, the server will now choose the value to use in the forward DNS
1374 name from the following in order of preference:
1375
1376 1. FQDN option if provided by the client
1377 2. Host name option if provided by the client
1378 3. Configured option host-name if defined
1379
1380 As before, this may be overridden by defining ddns-hostname to the desired
1381 value (or expression). In addition, the server logic has been extended to
1382 use the value of the host name declaration if use-host-decl-names is enabled
1383 and no other value is available.
1384 [ISC-Bugs #21323]
1385
1386- DNS updates were being attempted when dhcp-cache-threshold enabled the use of
1387 the existing lease and the forward DNS name had not changed. This has been
1388 corrected.
1389 [ISC-Bugs #37368]
1390 [ISC-Bugs #38636]
1391
1392- Corrected an issue which caused dhclient to incorrectly form the result when
1393 prepending or appending to the IPv4 domain-search option, received from the
1394 server, when either of the values being combined contain compressed
1395 components.
1396 [ISC-Bugs #20558]
1397
1398- Added the server-id-check parameter to the server configuration.
1399 This parameter allows run-time control over whether or not a server,
1400 participating in failover, verifies the dhcp-server-identifier option in
1401 DHCP REQUESTs against the server's id before processing the request.
1402 Formerly, enabling this behavior was done at compilation time through
1403 the use of the #define, SERVER_ID_CHECK, which has been removed from site.h
1404 The functionality is now only available through the new runtime parameter.
1405 [ISC-Bugs #37551]
1406
1407- During startup, when the server encounters a lease whose binding state is
1408 FTS_BACKUP but whose pool has no configured failover peer, it will reset the
1409 lease's binding state to FTS_FREE. This allows the leases to be reclaimed
1410 by the server after a pool's configuration has changed from failover to
1411 standalone. Prior to this such leases would remain stuck in the backup state
1412 making them unavailable for assignment. Note this conversion will occur
1413 whether or not the server is compiled for failover.
1414 [ISC-Bugs #36960]
1415
1416- Fixed a small issue in the treatment of hosts in the inform processing
1417 that could cause the response to an inform to include information from
1418 the wrong scope. The two examples we've heard of are getting subnet
1419 instead of group information associated with a host entry, or getting
1420 global information instead of subnet if the host entry was built via
1421 omapi. Thanks to Julien Soula at University of Lille for finding the
1422 bug and supplying a patch.
1423 [ISC-Bugs #35712]
1424
1425- Avoid calling pool_timer() recursively from supersede_lease(). This could
1426 result in leases changing state incorrectly or delaying the running of the
1427 leae expiration code.
1428 [ISC-Bugs #38002]
1429
1430- Move the check for a PID file and process to be before we rewrite the
1431 lease file. This avoids the possibility of starting a second instance
1432 of a server which changes the current lease file confusing the first
1433 instance. This check is only included if the admin hasn't disabled PID
1434 files.
1435 [ISC-Bugs #38078]
1436 [ISC-Bugs #38143]
1437
1438- In the client code change the way preferred_life and max_life are printed
1439 for environment variables to be unsigned rather than signed.
1440 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the bug report and patch.
1441 [ISC-Bugs #37084]
1442
1443- Modified Linux packet handling such that packets received via VLAN are now
1444 seen only by the VLAN interface. Prior to this, such packets were seen by
1445 both the VLAN interface and its parent (physical) interface, causing the
1446 server to respond to both. Note this remains an issue for non-Linux OSs.
1447 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the patch.
1448 [ISC-Bugs #37415]
1449 [ISC-Bugs #37133]
1450 [ISC-Bugs #36668]
1451 [ISC-Bugs #36652]
1452
1453- Log content has been changed to more directly suggest that admins should
1454 check for multiple IPv6 clients attempting to use the same DUID when only
1455 abandoned addresses are available. Debug level logging will now emit counts
1456 of the total number of, in-use, and abandoned addresses in a shared subnet
1457 when the server finds no addresses available for a given DUID. Lastly,
1458 threshold logging is now automatically disabled for shared subnets whose
1459 total number of possible addresses exceeds (2^64)-1.
1460 [ISC-Bugs #26376]
1461 [ISC-Bugs #38131]
1462
1463- Added a global parameter, prefix-length-mode, which may be used to determine
1464 how the server uses a non-zero value for prefix-length supplied by clients
1465 when soliciting DHCPv6 prefixes. The server supports selection modes of:
1466 ignore, prefer, exact, minimum and maximum which are described in detail in
1467 the server man pages. The prior behavior of the server was to only offer a
1468 prefix whose length exactly matched the prefix-length value requested. If
1469 no such prefixes were available, the server returned a status of none
1470 available. Note the default mode, "exact", provides this same behavior.
1471 [ISC-Bugs #36780]
1472 [ISC-Bugs #32228]
1473
1474- Corrected inconsistencies in dhcrelay's setting the upper interface hop count
1475 limit such that it now sets it to 32 when the upstream address is a multicast
1476 address per RFC 3315 Section 20. Prior to this if the -u argument preceded
1477 the -l argument on the command line or if the same interface was specified
1478 for both; the logic to set the hop limit count for the upper interface was
1479 skipped. This caused the hop count limit to be set to the default value
1480 (typically 1) in the outbound upstream packets.
1481 [ISC-Bugs #37426]
1482
1483 Changes since 4.3.1b1
1484
1485- Modify the linux and openwrt dhclient scripts to process information
1486 from a stateless request. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the

1582- Add a #define to specify the prefix length used when a client attempts
1583 to configure an address. This can be modified by editing includes/site.h.
1584 By default it is set to 64. While 128 might be a better choice it would
1585 also be a change for currently running systems, so we have left it at 64.

1588- Add a run time option to the client "-df" to allow the administrator to
1589 point to a second lease file the client can search for a DUID. This can
1590 be used to allow a v4 and a v6 instance of the client to share a DUID.
1591 The second file will only be searched if there isn't a DUID in the main

1642
1643- If a client renews before 'dhcp-cache-threshold' percent of its lease
1644 has elapsed (default 25%), the server will reuse the allocated lease
1645 (provide a lease within the currently allocated lease-time) rather
1646 than extend or renew the lease. This absolves the server of needing
1647 to perform an fsync() operation on the lease database before reply,
1648 which improves performance. [ISC-Bugs #22228]
80778e94 1649 Updated this patch to support asynchronous DDNS. If the server is
adb95d23 1650 attempting to do DDNS on a lease it should be updated and written to

1659 was used is now solved on GNU/Linux, BSD and GNU/Hurd systems. Note
1660 that use-sockets feature was not tested on those systems. Client and
1661 server code no longer use MAX_PATH constant that is not defined on

1664- Add a perl script in the contrib directory, dhcp-lease-list.pl, which
1665 can parse v4 lease files and output the lease information in a more
1666 human friendly manner. This was written by Christian Hammers with
1667 some updates by vom and ISC. This is contributed code and is not
1668 supported by ISC; however it may be useful to some users.

1677- Update the DDNS code to current standards and allow for sharing
1678 of DDNS entries between v4 and v6 clients. The new code is used
1679 if the ddns-update-style is set to "standard", the older code is
1680 still available if ddns-update-style is set to "interim". The
1681 oldest DDNS code "ad-hoc" has been removed. Thanks to Thomas Pegeot

SR
1686- Add a configuration option to the server to suppress using fsync().
1687 Enabling this option will mean that fsync() is never called. This
1688 may provide better performance but there is also a risk that a lease
1689 will not be properly written to the disk after it has been issued
1690 to a client and before the server stops. Using this option is
1691 not recommended.

1694- Add some logging statements to indicate when the server is ready
1695 to serve. One statement is emitted after the server has finished
1696 reading its files and is about to enter the dispatch loop.
1697 This is "Server starting service.".
1698 The second is emitted when a server determines that both it and
1699 its failover peer are in the normal state.

e54ff84f 1711- When doing DDNS if there isn't an appropriate zone statement attempt
80778e94 1712 to find a reasonable nameserver via a DNS resolver. This restores
e54ff84f
SR
1713 some functionality that was lost in the transition to asynchronous
1714 DDNS. Due to the lack of security and increase in fragility of the
1715 system when using this feature we strongly recommend the use of
1716 appropriate zone statements rather than using this functionality.

SR
1719- Add support for specifying the address from which to send
1720 DDNS updates on the DHCP server. There are two new options

1722 one instance of their respective address types.

1725- Add ignore-client-uids option in the server. This option causes
1726 the server to not record a client's uid in its lease. This
1727 violates the specification but may also be useful when a client

SR
1759- An optimization described in the failover protocol draft is now included,
1760 which permits a DHCP server operating in communications-interrupted state
1761 to 'rewind' a lease to the state most recently transmitted to its peer,
1762 greatly increasing a server's endurance in communications-interrupted.
1763 This is supported using a new 'rewind state' record on the dhcpd.leases
1764 entry for each lease.

SR
1771- When constructing the DNS name structure from a text string append
1772 the root to relative names. This satisfies a requirement in the DNS
1773 library that names be absolute instead of relative and prevents DHCP

SR
1776- "The LDAP Patch" that has been circulating for some time, written by
1777 Brian Masney and S.Kalyanasundraram and maintained for application to
1778 the DHCP-4 sources by David Cantrell has been included. Please be
1779 advised that these sources were contributed, and do not yet meet the
1780 high standards we place on production sources we include by default.
1781 As a result, the LDAP features are only included by using a compile-time
1782 option which defaults off, and if you enable it you do so under your
1783 own recognizance. We will be improving this software over time.

1803 previously allocated (active) lease to a client that has changed subnets,
1804 despite being on different shared networks. Dynamic prefixes specifically
1805 allocated in shared networks also now are not offered if the client has

2020- 'dhclient' no longer waits a random interval after first starting up to
2021 begin in the INIT state. This conforms to RFC 2131, but elects not to
9a111ee8 2022 implement a 'SHOULD' direction in section 4.1. The goal of this change
73c83820 2023 is to start up faster. [ISC-Bugs #19660]
9a111ee8
TM
2024
2025- Added 'initial-delay' parameter that specifies maximum amount of time
2026 before client goes to the INIT state. The default value is 0. In previous
2027 versions of the code client could wait up to 5 seconds. The old behavior
5d082abd 2028 may be restored by using 'initial-delay 5;' in the client config file.

2031- ICMP ping-check should now sit closer to precisely the number of seconds
2032 configured (or default 1), due to making use of the new microsecond
2033 scale timer internally to dhcpd. This corrects a bug where the server
2034 may immediately timeout an ICMP ping-check if it was made late in the
73c83820 2035 current second. [ISC-Bugs #19660]
5d082abd
TM
2036
2037- The DHCP client will schedule renewal and rebinding events in
2038 microseconds if the DHCP server provided a lease-time that would result
2039 in sub-1-second timers. This corrects a bug where a 2-second or lower
2040 lease-time would cause the DHCP client to enter an infinite loop by
73c83820 2041 scheduling renewal at zero seconds. [ISC-Bugs #19660]
5d082abd
TM
2042
2043- Client lease records are recorded at most once every 15 seconds. This
2044 keeps the client from filling the lease database disk quickly on very small
73c83820 2045 lease times. [ISC-Bugs #19660]

2046
2047- To defend against RFC 2131 non-compliant DHCP servers which fail to
2048 advertise a lease-time (either mangled, or zero in value) the DHCP
2049 client now adds the server to the reject list ACL and returns to INIT
2050 state to hopefully find an RFC 2131 compliant server (or retry in INIT
73c83820 2051 forever). [ISC-Bugs #19660]

2061- The DHCP server now responds to DHCPLEASEQUERY messages from agents using
2062 IP addresses not covered by a subnet in configuration. Whether or not to
2063 respond to such an agent is still governed by the 'allow leasequery;'
2064 configuration parameter, in the case of an agent not covered by a configured
2065 subnet the root configuration area is examined. Server now also returns
2066 vendor-class-id option, if client sent it. [ISC-Bugs #21094]

2285! Previously the server code was relaxed to allow packets with zero
2286 length client ids to be processed. Under some situations use of
2287 zero length client ids can cause the server to go into an infinite
2288 loop. As such ids are not valid according to RFC 2132 section 9.14
2289 the server no longer accepts them. Client ids with a length of 1
2290 are also invalid but the server still accepts them in order to
2291 minimize disruption. The restriction will likely be tightened in
2292 the future to disallow ids with a length of 1.

2455- Failover port configuration can now be left to defaults (port 647) as
2456 described in the -12 revision of the Failover draft (and assigned by
4b97eaff 2457 IANA). Thanks in part to a patch from David Cantrell at Red Hat.

2460 rather than using a broadcast address. Thanks to a patch from David
2461 Cantrell at Red Hat.

9e3eb22a
DH
2468- A new failover configuration parameter has been introduced for those
2469 environments where DHCP servers can be reasonably guaranteed to be
2470 "down" when the failover TCP socket is severed, "auto-partner-down".
2471 This parameter is not generally safe, and by default is disabled, so
2472 please carefully review the documentation of this parameter in the
2473 dhcpd.conf(5) manpage before determining to use it yourself.
2474
33ea4622
DH
2475- Added a configuration function, 'gethostname()', which calls the system
2476 function of the same name and presents the results as a data expression.
2477 This function can be used to incorporate the system level hostname of
2478 the system the DHCP software is operating on in responses or queries (such
2479 as including a failover partner's hostname in a dhcp message or binding
2480 scope, or having a DHCP client send any system hostname in the host-name or
2481 FQDN options by default).
2482
5a671e87
DH
2483- The dhcp-renewal-time and dhcp-rebinding-time options may now be configured
2484 for DHCPv4 operation and used independently of the dhcp-lease-time
2485 calculations. Invalid renew and rebinding times (e.g., greater than the
2486 determined lease time) are omitted.
2487
adb95d23 2488- Processing the DHCP to DNS server transactions in an asynchronous fashion,
45adf35c 2489 the DHCP server or client can now continue with its processing while
98bf1607 2490 awaiting replies from the DNS server.

2502- The notorious 'option <unknown> ... larger than buffer' log line,
2503 which is seen in some malformed DHCP client packets, was modified.
2504 It now logs the universe name, and does not log the length values
2505 (which are bogus corruption read from the packet anyway). It also
2506 carries a hopefully more useful explanation.

2532 result in an erroneous error log message ('garbage in format string').
2533
f9453d21
DH
2534- A bug in DLPI packet transmission (Solaris, HP/UX) that caused the server
2535 to stop receiving packets is fixed. The same fix also means that the MAC
2536 address will no longer appear 'bogus' on DLPI-based systems.
2537
2538- A bug in select handling was discovered where the results of one select()
2539 call were discarded, causing the server to process the next select() call
2540 and use more system calls than required. This has been repaired - the
2541 sockets will be handled after the first return from select(), resulting in
2542 fewer system calls.
2543
a3dcc0b1
DH
2544- The update-conflict-detection feature would leave an FQDN updated without
2545 a DHCID (still currently implemented as a TXT RR). This would cause later
2546 expiration or release events to fail to remove the domain name. The feature
2547 now also inserts the client's up to date DHCID record, so records may safely
2548 be removed at expiration or release time. Thanks to a patch submitted by
2549 Christof Chen.
2550
95fd7038
DH
2551- Memory leak in the load_balance_mine() function is fixed. This would
2552 leak ~20-30 octets per DHCPDISCOVER packet while failover was in use
2553 and in normal state.
2554

2556 DEBUG #defines in includes/site.h.

PS
2558- Fixed Linux client script 'unary operator expected' errors with DHCPv6.

2561 to be double-quoted. Also allow server-provided hostname to
2562 override hostnames 'localhost' and '(none)'.

2565 rather than restarting the listener.

DH
2567- Compilation on Solaris with USE_SOCKETS defined in includes/site.h has
2568 been repaired. Other USE_ overrides should work better.
2569
2570- A check for the local flavor of IFNAMSIZ had a broken 'else' condition,
2571 that probably still resulted in the correct behaviour (but wouldn't use
2572 a larger defined value provided by the host OS).
2573
350576c5
DH
2574- Fixed a bug where an OMAPI socket disconnection message would not result
2575 in scheduling a failover reconnection, if the link had not negotiated a
2576 failover connect yet (e.g.: connection refused, asynch socket connect()
2577 timeouts).

2582! A stack overflow vulnerability was fixed in dhclient that could allow
2583 remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands as root on the system,
2584 or simply terminate the client, by providing an over-long subnet-mask
1b12d999 2585 option. CERT VU#410676 - CVE-2009-0692

2591 supported. Note that, similarly to 3.0.x, for by-code lookups only the
2592 last option definition is used.

PS
2594- Fixed a bug where a time difference of greater than 60 seconds between a

b8d45c67
DH
2601- Secondary servers in a failover pair will now perform ddns removals if
2602 they had performed ddns updates on a lease that is expiring, or was
2603 released through the primary. As part of the same fix, stale binding scopes
2604 will now be removed if a change in identity of a lease's active client is
2605 detected, rather than simply if a lease is noticed to have expired (which it
2606 may have expired without a failover server noticing in some situations).
2607
583c1c16
DH
2608- A patch supplied by David Cantrell at RedHat was applied that detects
2609 invalid calling parameters given to the ns_name_ntop() function.
2610 Specifically, it detects if the caller passed a pointer and size pair
2611 that causes the pointer to integer-wrap past zero.
2612
e4e3a2ab
DH
2613! Fixed a fenceposting bug when a client had two host records configured,
2614 one using 'uid' and the other using 'hardware ethernet'. CVE-2009-1892
95f5d38c 2615

2617 the existence of the linked signal handler before calling it.
2618
2267da84
DH
2619- Both host and subnet6 configuration groups are now included whether a
2620 fixed-address6 (DHCPv6) is in use or not. Host scoped configuration takes
2621 precedence. This fixes two bugs, one where host scoped configuration
2622 would not be included from a non-fixed-address6 host record, and the equal
2623 and opposite bug where subnet6 scoped configuration would not be used when
571c38b0 2624 over-riding values were not present in a matching fixed-address6 host
2267da84
DH
2625 configuration.

2627- ./configure now checks to ensure the intX_t and u_intX_t types are defined,
2628 correcting a compilation failure when using Sun's compiler.
2629
0493fdca
SR
2630- Modified the handling of a connection to avoid releasing the omapi io
2631 object for the connection while it is still in use. One symptom from
2632 this error was a segfault when a failover secondary attempted to connect
2633 to the failover primary if their clocks were not synchronized.
2634
95bba8b6
SR
2635- Clean up to allow compilation with gcc 2.95.4 on FreeBSD. Remove an
2636 extra semi-colon from common/dns.c and moved setting a variable to NULL
2637 in server/dhcpv6.c to allow the compiler to decide that the variable
9a111ee8 2638 was always properly set.

2667 in future releases.

2675- DDNS removal routines were updated so that the DHCID is not removed until
2676 the client has been deprived of all A and AAAA records (not only the last
2677 one of either of those). This resolves a bug where dual stack clients
2678 would not be able to regain their names after either expiration event.

7d6180be
DH
2744- A bug in subnet6 parsing where options contained in subnet6 clauses would
2745 not be applied to clients addressed within that network was repaired.
2746
2747- When configuring a "subnet {}" or "subnet6 {}" without an explicit
2748 shared-network enclosing it, the DHCP software would synthesize a
2749 shared-network to contain the subnet. However, all configuration
2750 parameters within the subnet more intuitively belong "to any client
2751 on that interface", or rather the synthesized shared-network. So,
2752 when a shared-network is synthesized, it is used to contain the
2753 configuration present inside the subnet {} clause. This means that
2754 the configuration will be valid for all clients on that network, not
2755 just those addressed out of the stated subnet. If you intended the
2756 opposite, the workaround is to explicitly configure an empty
2757 shared-network.
2758
2759- A bug was fixed where Information-Request processing was not sourcing
2760 configured option values.

2763 support class statements.

EH
2793- It's now possible to update the "ends" field of a lease with OMAPI.
2794 This is useful if you want not only to release a lease, but also make
2795 it available for reuse right away. Hat tip to Christof Chen.
2796
9a111ee8 2797- Fixed definition of the iaaddr hash functions to use the correct
1dcc3612
SK
2798 functions when referencing and dereferencing memory.
2799
aabfa4de
FD
2800- Some definitions not in phase with the IANA registry were updated.
2801
0674055a
FD
2802- Allocated interface IDs are better controlled ('u' bit set to zero,
2803 reserved IDs avoided).
2804
b51c785f
FD
2805- Unicast options are taken into account only for RENEWs.
2806
900405e9
FD
2807- NoAddrsAvail answers to SOLICITs are always ADVERTISEs even when a SOLICIT
2808 carries a rapid-commit option.
2809
96b620e5
FD
2810- Return in place of raise an impossible condition when one tries to release
2811 an empty active lease.
2812
be62cf06
FD
2813- Timer granularity is now 1/100s in the DHCPv6 client.
2814
01a54c17
EH
2815- The dhclient-script was updated to create a host route for the default
2816 gateway if the supplied subnet mask for an IPv4 address was a /32. This
2817 allows the client to work in 'captive' network environments, where the
2818 operator does not want clients to crosstalk directly.
2819
adb95d23 2820- MINUS tokens should be parsable again.
01a54c17
EH
2821
2822- Multiple (up to "delayed-ack x;" maximum) DHCPv4 packets are now queued and
2823 released in bursts after single fsync() events when the upper limit is
2824 reached or if the receiving sockets go dry. The practical upshot is
2825 that fsync-coupled server performance is now multiplicitively increased.
2826 The default delayed ack limit is 28. Thanks entirely to a patch from
2827 Christof Chen.
2828
2829 Changes since 4.0.0 (bug fixes)
2830
2831- DHCP now builds on AIX.
2832
2833- Exit with warning when DHCPv6-specific statements are used in the
2834 config file but -6 is not specified.
2835
2836- Fixed "--version" flag in dhcrelay
2837
2838- The 'min-secs' configuration parameter's log message has been updated to
2839 be more helpful.
2840
2841- The warning logged when an address range doesn't fit in the subnets
2842 they were declared has been updated to be more helpful and identify the
2843 typo in configuration that created the spanning addresses.
2844
2845- A bug in failover pool rebalancing that caused POOLREQ message ping-pongs
2846 was repaired.
2847
2848- A flaw in failover pool rebalancing that could cause POOLREQ messages to
2849 be sent outside of the min-balance/max-balance scheduled intervals has
2850 been repaired.
2851
2852- A cosmetic bug during potential-conflict recovery that caused the peer's
2853 'conflict-done' state message to be logged as 'unknown-state' has been
2854 repaired. It is now logged correctly.
2855
49f61135
DH
2856- A bug was fixed where the 'giaddr' may be used to find the client's subnet
2857 rather than its own 'ciaddr'.
2858
41d4652f
DH
2859- A log message was introduced to clarify the situation where a failover
2860 'address' parameter (the server's local address) did not resolve to an
2861 IPv4 address.
2862
2c9bf1f4
DH
2863- The minimum site code value was set to 224 in 3.1.0 to track RFC3942. This
2864 broke a lot of legacy site local configurations. The new code in place will
2865 track site local space minimum option codes and logs a warning to encourage
2866 updates and exploration of site local code migration problems. Option
2867 codes less than 128 in site local spaces remain inaccessible.
2868
2869- A possible relay agent option bug was repaired where random server
2870 initialization state may have been used to signal the relay agent
2871 information options sub-option code for the 'END' of the option space.
2872
cff9b78f
SK
2873- Fixes to allow code to compile and run on Solaris 9.
2874
c4d29896
SK
2875- Fixes to allow code to compile on Mac OS X Leopard (10.5).
2876
57fcb8d9
SK
2877- When server is configured with options that it overrides, a warning is
2878 issued when the configuration file is read, rather than at the time the
2879 option is overridden. This was important, because the warning was given
9a111ee8 2880 every time the option was overridden, which could create a lot of
57fcb8d9
SK
2881 unnecessary logging.
2882
219a65eb
DH
2883- Fixed a compilation problems on platforms that define a value for FDDI,
2884 which conflicts with a dhcp configuration syntax token by the same name.
2885
ffdf3c8c
DH
2886- When a failover server suspects it has encountered a peer running a
2887 version 3.0.x failover server, a warning that the failover wire protocol
2888 is incompatible is printed.
2889
2890- The failover server no longer issues a floating point error if it encounters
2891 a previously undefined option code.
2892
00a002fc
MA
2893- Fix startup error messages to report a missing "subnet6 declaration", rather
2894 than a missing "subnet declaration", when running as a DHCPv6 server.
2895
9a111ee8 2896- DHCPv6 client timestamp in DUID was based on the year 1970 rather
7e9f7a1b
FD
2897 than the year 2000.
2898
e2cfde76
FD
2899- Warn when attempting to use a hardware parameter in DHCPv6.
2900
cabdb9b1
FD
2901- DHCPv6 released resources are now marked as released by the client.
2902
5d89d60f
FD
2903- 'Soft' bindings have no more side-effects.
2904
61d75ea2
DH
2905 Changes since 4.0.0b3
2906
2907- The reverse dns name for PTR updates on IPv6 addresses has been fixed to
2908 use ip6.arpa. rather than default to in-addr.arpa and require user
2909 configuration.
76db44f9 2910
e32529a5
EH
2911- dhc6_lease_destroy() and dhc6_ia_destroy() now set lease and IA pointers
2912 to NULL after freeing, to prevent subsequent accesses to freed memory.
2913
9a111ee8 2914- The DHCPv6 server would not send the preference option unless the
76db44f9
SK
2915 client requested it, via the ORO. This has been fixed, so the DHCPv6
2916 server will always send the preference value if it is configured.
e4a6be15 2917
9a111ee8
TM
2918- When addresses were passed as hints to the server in an IA, they were
2919 incorrectly handled, sometimes being treated as an error. Now the
6f76de58
SK
2920 server will treat these as hints and ignore them if it cannot supply
2921 a requested address.
2922
703873ab
DH
2923- If the client had multiple addresses, and one expired (was not renewed
2924 by the server), the client would continue to attempt to renew the same
2925 old address over and over. Now, the client will omit any expired
2926 addresses from future Confirm, Renew, or Rebind messages.
2927
2928- dhclient -6 will now select renew/rebind timers based upon the longest
2929 address expiration time rather than the shortest expiration time, in
2930 order to avoid cascading renewals in the event a server elects not to
2931 extend one of multiple IAADDR leases.
2932
b024480e
DH
2933- The server now limits clients that request multiple addresses to one
2934 address per IA by default, which can be adjusted through the
2935 "limit-addrs-per-ia" configuration option.
2936
c0216cb7
DH
2937- The DHCPv6 client now issues fresh transaction IDs on Renew and Rebind
2938 message exchanges, rather than using the most recent ID.
2939
1ac57173
FD
2940- The DHCPv6 server now replies to Information-Request messages.
2941
83835822
DH
2942- A bug was fixed in the dhclient-script for BSDs to correctly carry error
2943 codes through some conditions.
2944
c54db708
FD
2945- The parsing of some options in the dhclient lease file, in particular
2946 the success DHCPv6 status-code, was fixed.
2947
e5d83524
DH
2948- A bug was fixed that caused the DHCPv6 ORO option to be corrupted with
2949 seemingly random values.

821f2dda
DH
2951- A reference overleak in DHCPv6 shared network processing was repaired.
2952
f8b3c6f4
DH
2953- ./configure now autodetects local database locations rather than trying
2954 to put dhcpd.leases and dhclient.leases in /usr/local/var/db, which no
2955 one ever has.
2956
9a111ee8
TM
2957- Regression fix for bug where server advertised a IPv6 address in
2958 response to a SOLICIT but would not return the address in response
b9137d42
SK
2959 to a REQUEST.
2960
9f1d5a2f
DH
2961- A bug was fixed where the DHCPv6 server puts the NoAddrsAvail status
2962 code in the IA_NA was fixed. The status code now appears in the root
2963 level.
2964
e4a6be15
DH
2965 Changes since 4.0.0b2
2966
65cf86d7
EH
2967- Clarified error message when lease limit exceeded
2968
b1d3778c
DH
2969- Relative time may now be used as a qualifier for 'allow' and 'deny' access
2970 control lists. These directives may be used to assist in re-addressing
2971 address pools without having to constantly reconfigure the server. Please
2972 see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more information on allow/deny 'after time' syntax.
2973 Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen.
2974
bead14ea
DH
2975- The server will now include multiple IA_NA's and multiple IAADDRs within
2976 them, if advertised by the client. It still only seeks to allocate one
2977 new address.
2978
f765ec36
SK
2979 Changes since 4.0.0b1
2980
75135a3f 2981- Use different paths for PID and lease files when running in DHCPv4
adb95d23 2982 or DHCPv6 mode, so that servers for both protocols can be run
75135a3f
EH
2983 simultaneously on a single interface.
2984
5c2d55c7
EH
2985- Fixed a buffer overflow error which could have allowed a denial
2986 of service under unusual server configurations
2987
2988- Eliminated a spurious error message from the client
2989
9a111ee8 2990- A number of bugs with the internal handling of lease state on the
f765ec36 2991 server have been fixed. Some of these could cause server crashes.
fa9b593d 2992
edb1283e
DH
2993- The peer_wants_leases() changes pulled up from 3.1.0 were corrected,
2994 'never used' leases will no longer consistently shift between servers
2995 on every pool rebalance run.
2996
c71c6399
DH
2997- sendmsg()/recvmsg() control buffers are now declared in such a way to
2998 ensure they are correctly aligned on all (esp. 64-bit) architectures.
2999
5279b8f3
DH
3000- The client leasing subsystem was streamlined and corrected to account
3001 more closely for changes in client link attachment selection.
3002
ab3a540f 3003 Changes since 4.0.0a3
763cba6b 3004
9a111ee8 3005- The DHCP server no longer requires a "ddns-update-style" statement,
884a458f
SK
3006 and now defaults to "none", which means DNS updates are disabled.
3007
fa9b593d
DH
3008- Log messages when failover peer names mismatch have been improved to
3009 point out the problem.
3010
9a111ee8 3011- Bug where server advertised a IPv6 address in response to a SOLICIT
1b5053b5
SK
3012 but would not return the address in response to a REQUEST. Thanks to
3013 Dennis Kou for finding the bug.
3014
c886c298
SK
3015- Fixed an error causing the server to lock up on lease expiration,
3016 reported independently by Jothilingam Vasu and Dennis Kou.
3017
eaf7eb17
DH
3018- Fixed a ./configure bug where compile tests were failing due to
3019 "-Werror" (unused variable) rather than the actual test failure. Lead
3020 to inconsistent and unworkable auto-configurations.
3021
109e00db
DH
3022- Compilation with DLPI and -Werror has been repaired.
3023
9a111ee8 3024- Error in decoding IA_NA option if multiple interfaces are present
3ad9d48f
SK
3025 fixed by Marcus Goller.
3026
8eab95f2
DH
3027- DHCPv6 server Confirm message processing has been enhanced - it no
3028 longer replies only to clients with host {} records, it now replies
3029 as directed in RFC3315 section 18.2.2 - that is, to all clients
3030 regardless of the existence of bindings.
3031
07b9a351
DH
3032- A core dump during expired lease cleanup has been repaired.
3033
7285af30
DH
3034- DDNS updates state information are now stored in 'binding scopes' that
3035 follow the leases through their lifecycles. This enables DDNS teardowns
3036 on leases that are assigned and expired inbetween a server restart (the
3037 state is recovered from dhcpd.leases). Arbitrary user-specified binding
3038 scopes ('set var = "value";') are not yet supported.
3039
2394b26b
DH
3040- Additional compilation problems on HP/UX have been repaired.

3055- DHCPv6 is now the default. You can disable DHCPv6 support using the
3056 "--disable-dhcpv6" flag when you run the configure script.

3058- An internal database inconsistency bug was repaired where the server
3059 would segfault if a client attempted to renew a lease that had been
3060 loaded from persistent storage.
3061
45d545f0 3062- 'request' and 'also request' syntaxes have been added to accommodate
0c20eab3
DH
3063 the DHCPv6 client configuration. 'send dhcp6.oro' is no longer
3064 necessary.
3065
9a111ee8
TM
3066- Bug fixed where configuration file parsing did not work with
3067 zero-length options; this made it impossible to set the
f800f4f6
SK
3068 rapid-commit option.

3123- Corrected some situations where variables might be used without being
3124 initialized.
3125
3126- Silenced several other compiler warnings.
3127
3128- Include the more standard sys/uio.h rather than rely upon other
f66f02cc
DH
3129 header files to include it (fixes a BSD 4.2 compile failure).
3130
3131- Duplicate dhclient-script updates for DHCPv6 to all provided scripts.
a512d11b 3132
4ba58919
DH
3133- DHCPv4 I/O methods that failed to sense hardware address were corrected.
3134
3135- DHCPv4 is now the default (as documented) rather than DHCPv6. The default
3136 was set to DHCPv6 to facilitate ease early development, and forgotten.
3137
3138- Corrected a segmentation violation in DHCPv4 socket processing.
3139
8ea19a71 3140- dhclient will now fork() into the background once it binds to an
45d545f0 3141 IPv6 address, or immediately if the -n flag is supplied.
8ea19a71
DH
3142

3150- Replaced ./configure shellscripting with GNU Autoconf.
3151
98bd7ca0
DH
3152 Changes since 3.1.0 (NEW FEATURES)
3153
3154- DHCPv6 Client and Server protocol support. Use '-6' to run the daemons
3155 as v6-only. Use '-4' to run the daemons as v4-only (default. There is
3156 no support currently for both.
3157
3158- Server support for multiple IA_NA options, containing at most one
3159 IAADDR option.
3160
3161- Client support for one IA_NA option, containing any number of IAADDR
3162 options.
3163
3164- Server support for the DHCPv6 Information-request message.
3165
3166- Inappropriate unicast DHCPv6 messages sent to the server are now
3167 discarded, and this has rearchitected the IO system slightly.
3168
3169- The DHCPv6 server DUID defaults to type 1, is persistently stored in
3170 the leases database, and can be over-ridden (either completely, or by
3171 specifying type 1 or type 2).
3172
3173- The server only uses Rapid-Commit if it has been configured with the
3174 Rapid-Commit option and the client requests it.
3175
3176- DDNS support. We now update AAAA records in the same place we would
3177 update A records, if we have an IPv6 address. We also generate IP6.ARPA
3178 style names for PTR records if we're dealing with an IPv6 address. Both
3179 A and AAAA updates are done using the same 'fqdn.' virtual option space
3180 (although the DHCPv4 FQDN and DHCPv6 FQDN options are formatted
3181 differently, they both use the same code here).
3182
3183- The Linux dhclient-script attempts to set and remove assigned addresses,
3184 and to configure /etc/resolv.conf from nameserver and domain name
3185 configurations. It can be extended to configure other parameters.
3186
3187- Initial DHCPv6 lease support.
3188
3189- The IO system now tracks all local IP addresses, so that the DHCP
3190 applications (particularly the dhcrelay) can discern between what frames
3191 were transmitted to it, and what frames are being carried through it which
3192 it should not intercept.
3193

DH
3194 Changes since 3.1.0 (Maintenance)
3195
3196- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for virgin leases always
3197 mapped to the primary. Virgin leases now have an interleaved preference
3198 between primary and secondary.
3199
3200- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for clients with no client
3201 identifier was sometimes mishashed to the peer. Load balancing during
3202 runtime and pool rebalancing were opposing.
3203
aa3e348e
DH
3204- An assertion in lease counting relating to reserved leases was repaired.
3205
e9c59645
DH
3206- The subnet-mask option inclusion now conforms with RFC2132 section 3.3;
3207 it will only appear prior to the routers option if it is present on the
3208 Parameter-Request-List. The subnet-mask option will also only be
3209 included by default (if it is not on the PRL) in response to DISCOVER
3210 or REQUEST messages.
3211
3212- The FQDN option is only supplied if the client supplied an FQDN option or
3213 if the FQDN option was explicitly requested on the PRL.

DH
3217 Changes since 3.1.0rc1
3218
adb95d23 3219- The parse warning that 'deny dynamic bootp;' must be configured for
b9d0cc05
DH
3220 failover protected subnets was removed.
3221
a512cc3a
DH
3222 Changes since 3.1.0b2
3223
3224- Failover rebalance events no longer play ping pong with round errors
3225 (moving leases between free and back to backup where there are an
3226 odd number of leases).
3227
3228- The 'pool' log line has been split into two messages, one before the
3229 rebalance run, and one after.
3230
3231- Any queued BNDACKs are transmitted before transmitting new BNDUPDs.
3232 This enforces the correct sequence of events for the remote server
3233 processing these messages.

fe5b0fdd 3235 Changes since 3.1.0b1
27837f95 3236

EH
3237- Fixed a bug that caused OMAPI clients to freeze when opening lease
3238 objects.
3239
1ba87b37
EH
3240- A new server config option "fqdn-reply" specifies whether the server
3241 should send out option 81 (FQDN). Defaults to "on". If set to "off",
3242 the FQDN option is not sent, even if the client requested it. This is
3243 needed because some clients misbehave otherwise. Thanks to Christof Chen
3244 at Allianz.
3245
a58da042
EH
3246- Allow trace output files (-tf option) to be overwritten, rather than
3247 crashing dhcpd if the file already exists
3248
61252edf
EH
3249- A bug was fixed that caused dhcpd to segfault if a pool was declared
3250 outside the scope of a subnet in dhcpd.conf.
3251
27837f95
DH
3252- Some uninitialized values were repaired in dhcpleasequery.c that
3253 caused the server to abort.
3254
4d2eaafb
DH
3255- A new server config option, 'do-reverse-updates', has been added
3256 which causes the server to abstain from performing updates on PTR
3257 records. Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen at Allianz.
3258
06211b40
DH
3259- A bug was repaired in subencapsulation support, where spaces separated
3260 by empty spaces would not get included.
3261
d6614ea2
DH
3262- A bug in dhclient was repaired which caused it to send parameter request
3263 lists of 55 bytes in length no matter how long the declared PRL was.
3264
132d38f2
DH
3265- 'dhcp.c(3953): non-null pointer' has been repaired. This fixes a flaw
3266 wherein the DHCPv4 server may ignore a configured server-identifier.
3267
fc3b9c90
DH
3268- A flaw in failover startup sequences was repaired that sometimes left
3269 the primary DHCP server's pool rebalance schedules unscheduled.
3270
c9feb859
DH
3271- Corrected a flaw that broke encapsulated spaces included due to presence
3272 on the parameter request list.

c57db45c
SK
3274 Changes since 3.1.0a3

DH
3278 Changes since 3.1.0a2

3281 fatal internal error, "Unable to find server option 49".
3282
85edef5c
DH
3283- A bug was fixed in dhclient rendering the textual output form of the
3284 domain-search option syntax.

bdddcb7d
DH
3286 Changes since 3.1.0a1
3287
3288- A bug in the FQDN universe that added FQDN codes to the NWIP universe's
3289 hash table was repaired.
3290
616d67cb
DH
3291- The servers now try harder to transmit pending binding updates when
3292 entering normal state.
3293
3294- UPDREQ/UPDREQALL handling was optimized - it no longer dequeues and
3295 requeues all pending updates. This should reduce the number of spurious
66c8f734
DH
3296 'xid mismatch' log messages.
3297
3298- An option definition referencing leak was fixed, which resulted in early
3299 termination of dhclient upon the renewal event.
616d67cb 3300
6708d944
DH
3301- Some default hash table sizes were tweaked, some upwards, some downwards.
3302 3.1.0a1's tables resulted in a reduction in default server memory use.
3303 The new selected values provide more of a zero sum (increasing the size
3304 of tables likely to be populated, decreasing the size of tables unlikely).
3305
45d545f0 3306- Lease structures appear in three separate hashes: by IP address, by UID,
6708d944
DH
3307 and by hardware address. One type of table was used for all three, and
3308 improvements to IP address hashing were applied to all three (so UID and
3309 hardware addresses were treated like 4-byte integers). There are now two
3310 types of tables, and the uid/hw hashes use functions more appropriate
3311 to their needs.
3312
3313- The max-lease-misbalance percentage no longer causes scheduled rebalance
3314 runs to be skipped: it still governs the schedule, but every scheduled
3315 run will attempt balance.
3316
a7ee93fe
DH
3317- A segfault bug in recursive encapsulation support has been corrected.
3318
98311e4b
DH
3319 Changes since 3.0 (New Features)
3320
3321- A workaround for certain STSN servers that send a mangled domain-name
3322 option was introduced for dhclient. The client will now accept corrupted
3323 server responses, if they contain a valid DHCP_MESSAGE_TYPE (OFFER, ACK,
3324 or NAK). The server will continue to not accept corrupt client packets.
3325
98bd7ca0 3326- Support for 'reserved' (pseudo-static) and BOOTP leases via failover
a55ccdd0 3327 was introduced.
98311e4b
DH
3328
3329- Support for adding, removing, and managing class and subclass statements
3330 via OMAPI.
3331
a55ccdd0
DH
3332- The failover implementation was updated to comply with revision 12 of
3333 the protocol draft.
3334
98311e4b
DH
3335- 'make install' now creates the initial zero-length dhcpd.leases file if
3336 one does not already exist on the system.
3337
b43c87ad 3338- RFC3942 compliance, site-local option spaces start at 224 now, not 128.
b43c87ad 3339
0b17f049
DH
3340- The Load Balance Algorithm was misimplemented. The current implementation
3341 matches RFC 3074.
3342
2727c1cf
DH
3343- lcase() and ucase() configuration expressions have been added which adjust
3344 their arguments from upper to lower and lower to upper cases respectively.
2714a8ef 3345 Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
2727c1cf 3346
febbd402
DH
3347- The dhclient 'reject ...;' statement, which rejects leases given by named
3348 server-identifiers, now permits address ranges to be specified in CIDR
7d7073e7 3349 notation. Thanks to a patch from David Boyce.
febbd402 3350
ee912528
DH
3351- The subnet-mask option is now supplied by default, but at lowest
3352 priority. This helps a small minority of clients that provide parameter
3353 request lists, but do not list the subnet-mask option because they were
3354 designed to interoperate with a server that behaves in this manner.
3355
3356- The FQDN option is similarly supplied even if it does not appear on the
3357 parameter request list, but not to the exclusion of options that do
3358 appear at the parameter request list. Up until now it had ultimate
3359 priority over the client's parameter request list.
3360
f7fdb216 3361- Varying option space code and length bit widths (8/16/32) are now
51202707 3362 supported. This is a milestone in achieving RFC 3925 "VIVSO" and
f7fdb216
DH
3363 DHCPv6 support.
3364
5e864416
DH
3365- A new common (server or client) option, 'db-time-format local;', has
3366 been added which prints the local time in /var/db/dhcpd.leases rather
3367 than UTC. Thanks to a patch from Ken Lalonde.
3368
b500bd4c
DH
3369- Some patches to improve DHCP Server startup speed from Andrew Matheson
3370 have been incorporated.
3371
2426234f
DH
3372- Failover pairs now implement 'MAC Affinity' on leases moving from the
3373 active to free states. Leases that belonged to the failover secondary
3374 are moved to BACKUP state rather than FREE upon exiting EXPIRED state.
3375 If lease rebalancing must move leases, it tries first to move leases
3376 that belong to the peer in need.
3377
3378- The server no longer sends POOLREQ messages unless the pool is severely
3379 misbalanced in the peer's favor (see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more details).
3380
3381- Pool rebalance events no longer happen upon successfully allocating a
3382 lease. Instead, they happen on a schedule. See 'man dhcpd.conf' for the
3383 min-balance and max-balance statements for more information.
3384
334bf491
DH
3385- The DHCP Relay Agent Information Option / Link Selection Sub-Option
3386 is now supported. (See RFC3527 for details).
3387
3004bebf
DH
3388- A new DDNS related server option, update-conflict-detection, has been
3389 added. If this option is enabled, dhcpd will perform normal DHCID
3390 conflict resolution (the default). If this option is disabled, it will
3391 instead trust the assigned name implicitly (removing any other bindings
3392 on that name). This option has not been made available in dhclient.
3393
567e8561
DH
3394- In those cases where the DHCP software manufactures an IP header (to
3395 transmit via bpf, lpf, etc), the IP TTL the software selects has been
3396 increased from 16 to 128. This is intended to match Microsoft Windows
3397 DHCP Client behaviour, to increase compatibility.
3398
a396d25f
DH
3399- 'ignore client-updates;' now has behaviour that is different from
3400 'deny client-updates;'. The client's request is not truly ignored,
3401 rather it is encouraged. Should this value be configured, the server
3402 updates DNS as though client-updates were set to 'deny'. That is, it
3403 enters into DNS whatever it is configured to do already, provided it is
3404 configured to. Then it sends a response to the client that lets the
3405 client believe it is performing client updates (which it will), probably
3406 for a different name. In essence, this lets the client do as it will,
3407 ignoring this aspect of their request.
3408
dba5803b
DH
3409- Support for compressed 'domain name list' style DHCP option contents, and
3410 in particular the domain search option (#119) was added.
3411
41e45067 3412- The DHCP LEASEQUERY protocol as defined in RFC4388 is now implemented.
6d103865
SK
3413 LEASEQUERY lets you query the DHCP server for information about a lease,
3414 using either an IP address, MAC address, or client identifier. Thanks
3415 to a patch from Justin Haddad.
3416
41e45067
DH
3417- DHCPD is now RFC2131 section 4.1 compliant (broadcast to all-ones ip and
3418 ethernet mac address) on the SCO platform specifically without any strange
3419 ifconfig hacks. Many thanks go to the Kroger Co. for donating the
3420 hardware and funding the development.
6d103865 3421
b543fea9
DH
3422- A new common configuration executable statement, execute(), has been
3423 added. This permits dhcpd or dhclient to execute a named external
3424 program with command line arguments specified from other configuration
3425 language. Thanks to a patch written by Mattias Ronnblom, gotten to us
3426 via Robin Breathe.
3427
b22de500
DH
3428- A new dhcp server option 'adaptive-lease-time-threshold' has been added
3429 which causes the server to substantially reduce lease-times if there are
3430 few (configured percentage) remaining leases. Thanks to a patch submitted
3431 from Christof Chen.
3432
96bbe8c5
SK
3433- Encapsulated option spaces within encapsulated option spaces is now
3434 formally supported.
3435
b8221d95
DH
3436 Changes since 3.0.6rc1
3437
3438- supersede_lease() now requeues leases in their respective hardware
3439 address hash bucket. This mirrors client identifier behaviour.
3440
c1e6c832
DH
3441 Changes since 3.0.5
3442
f546c28b
DH
3443- Assorted fixes for broken network devices: Packet length is now
3444 determined from the IP header length field to finally calculate the
3445 UDP payload length, because some NIC drivers return more data than
5a22eb63 3446 they actually received.
f546c28b
DH
3447
3448- UDP packets are now stored in aligned data structures.
3449
c1e6c832
DH
3450- A logic error in omapi interface code was repaired that might result in
3451 incorrectly indicating 'up' state when any flags were set, rather than
23e10d37
DH
3452 specifically the INTERFACE_REQUESTED flag. Thanks to a patch from
3453 Jochen Voss which got to us via Andrew Pollock at Debian.
c1e6c832 3454
75ab3070
DH
3455- A reference leak on binding scopes set by ddns updates was repaired.
3456
d69fb6a8 3457- A memory leak in the minires_nsendsigned() function call was repaired.
23e10d37 3458 Effectively, this leaked ~176 bytes per DDNS update.
d69fb6a8 3459
02428754
DH
3460- In the case where an "L2" DHCP Relay Agent (one that does not set giaddr)
3461 was directly attached to the same broadcast domain as the DHCP server,
3462 the RFC3046 relay agent information option was not being returned to the
3463 relay in the server's replies. This was fixed; the dhcp server no longer
3464 requires the giaddr to reply with relay agent information. Note that
3465 this also improves compatibility with L2 devices that "intercept" DHCP
3466 packets and expect relay agent information even in unicast (renewal)
23e10d37
DH
3467 replies. Thanks to a patch from Pekka Silvonen.
3468
3469- A bug was fixed where the BOOTP header 'sname' field had a value, the
3470 copy written to persistent storage was actually the contents of the
3471 'file' field.
02428754 3472
ecde99a3
DH
3473- A bug was fixed where the nwip virtual option space was referencing
3474 the fqdn option's virtual option space's option cache.
3475
67674ffb
DH
3476- Timestamp parsing errors that indicated missing "minutes" fields rather
3477 than the actually missing "seconds" fields have been repaired thanks to
3478 a patch from Kevin Steves.
3479
830ebc4c
DH
3480- A grammar error in the dhclient.8 manpage was repaired thanks to a patch
3481 from Chris Wagner.
3482
c759db75
DH
3483- Several spelling typos were repaired, and some cross-references to other
3484 relevant documents were included in the manpages, thanks to a patch
3485 by Andrew Pollock which got to us via Tomas Pospisek.
3486
9aa3f3a5
DH
3487- Some bugs were fixed in the 'emergency relay agent options hologram'
3488 which is used to retain relay agent option contents from when the
3489 client was in INIT or REBIND states. This should solve problems where
3490 relay agent options were not echoed from the server, even when giaddr
3491 was set.
3492
3d0c598a
DH
3493- dhclient now closes its descriptor to dhclient.leases prior to executing
3494 dhclient-script. Thanks to a patch from Tomas Pospisek.
3495
d5b6835f
DH
3496- The server's "by client-id" and "by hardware address" hash table lists
3497 are now sorted according to the preference to re-allocate that lease to
3498 returning clients. This should eliminate pool starvation problems
3499 arising when "INIT" clients were given new leases rather than presently
3500 active ones.
3501
02428754 3502 Changes since 3.0.5rc1
0a73b7b6 3503
901306d5 3504- A bug was repaired in fixes to the dhclient, which sought to run the
0a73b7b6
SK
3505 dhclient-script with the 'EXPIRE' state should it receive a NAK in
3506 response to a REQUEST. The client now iterates the PREINIT state
3507 after the EXPIRE state, so that interfaces that might be configured
3508 'down' can be brought back 'up' and initialized.
3509
87a08ccc
DH
3510- DHCPINFORM handling for clients that properly set ciaddr and come to the
3511 server via a relay aget has been repaired.
3512
6da113fb
DH
3513 Changes since 3.0.4
3514
3515- A warning that host statements declared within subnet or shared-network
3516 scopes are actually global has been added.
3517
3518- The default minimum lease time (if min-lease-time was not specified)
3519 was raised from 0 to 300. 0 is not thought to be sensible, and is
3520 known to be damaging.
3521
3522- Added additional fatal error sanity checks surrounding lease binding
3523 state count calculations (free/active counts used for failover pool
3524 balancing).
3525
dcc557db
DH
3526- Some time value size fixes in 3.0.4 brought on from FreeBSD /usr/ports were
3527 misapplied to server values rather than client values. The server no longer
3528 advertises 8-byte lease-time options when on 64-bit platforms.
3529
1b2ab55f
DH
3530- A bug where leases not in ACTIVE state would get billed to billed classes
3531 (classes with lease limitations) was fixed. Non-active leases OFFERed
3532 to clients are no longer billed (but billing is checked before offering).
3533
e48891e8
DH
3534- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated in regard to the ddns-domainname
3535 configuration option - the default configuration and results should be
3536 more clear now.
3537
6cbc6629
DH
3538- If the dhclient were to receive a DHCPNAK while it was in the RENEW
3539 state (and consequently, had an active, 'bound' address and related
3540 configuration options), it would fail to 'tear down' this information
3541 before proceeding into INIT state. dhclient now iterates the dhclient-
3542 script with the 'EXPIRE' action to cause these teardowns prior to entering
1d3bfb17 3543 INIT state. Thanks to a patch from Chris Zimmerman.
6cbc6629 3544
c5fec5fa
DH
3545- The omapi.1 manpage had some formatting errors repaired thanks to a patch
3546 from Yoshihiko Sarumaru.
3547
33e1cb2b
DH
3548- A few lines of code that were failover-specific were moved within
3549 #if defined() clauses so that compilation without failover could be
3550 made possible.
3551
2bddf829
DH
3552- The log message emitted when the 'leased-address' value was not available
3553 in dhcpd.conf "executable statements" has been updated to be more helpful.
3554 Manpage information for this value has also been updated.
3555
87578987
DH
3556- Abandoned or dissociated (err condition) leases now remove any related
3557 dynamic dns bindings. Thanks to a patch from Patrick Schoo.
3558
e77c575f
DH
3559- Attempting to write a new lease file to replace a corrupt (due to
3560 encountering non-retryable errors during writing) lease file should
3561 no longer result in an infinite recursion.
3562
2178df03
DH
3563- Host declaration hardware addresses and client identifiers may only be
3564 configured once. dhcpd will now fail to load config files that specify
3565 multiple identifiers (previous versions would silently over-ride the
3566 value with the later configured value).
3567
d5341d9b
SK
3568- Several option codes that have been allocated since our last release
3569 have been named and documented.
3570
3571- Option names of the form "unknown-123" have been removed from the in-
3572 memory hash tables. In order to support options of these names that
3573 may appear in dhclient.leases or similar in previous versions, the
3574 parser will now find the new option code definition, or mock up a
3575 generic option code definition. This should result in a smooth
3576 transition from one name to the other, as the new name is used to
3577 write new output.
3578
6da113fb
DH
3579 Changes since 3.0.4rc1
3580
3581- The dhcp-options.5 manpage was updated to correct indentation errors
3582 thanks to a patch from Jean Delvare.
3583
3584 Changes since 3.0.4b3
3585
3586- Some manual pages were clarified pursuant to discussion on the dhcp-server
3587 mailing list.
3588
88cd8aca
DH
3589 Changes since 3.0.4b2
3590
45d545f0 3591- Null-termination sensing for certain clients that unfortunately require
88cd8aca
DH
3592 it in DHCPINFORM processing was repaired.
3593
3594- The host-name option and a few others were moved from "X" format to "t"
3595 format to be compatible with new NULL handling functions.
3596
3597- DHCPINFORM processing is a little more careful about return addressing
3598 its responses, or if responding via a relay. The INFORM related
3599 messages also log the 'effective client ip address' rather than the
3600 client's supplied ciaddr (since some clients produce null ciaddrs).
3601
3602- The server was inappropriately sending leases to the RESET state in the
3603 event that multiple active leases were found to match a singly-identified
3604 client. This was changed to RELEASED (by accepting a different, ACTIVE
3605 binding, the client is implicitly releasing its lease). This repairs a
3606 bug wherein secondary servers in failover pairs detecting this condition
3607 move leases to RESET, and primaries refuse to accept that state
3608 transition (properly).
3609
3610- The memset-after-dmalloc() changes made in 3.0.4b1 have been backed out.
3611
3612 Changes since 3.0.4b1
3613
3614- Command line parsing in omshell was repaired - it no longer closes
3615 STDIN after reading one line.
3616
3617- The resolver library no longer closes the /etc/resolv.conf file
3618 descriptor it opened twice.
3619
3620- Changes to trailing NULL removal in 't' option-atoms has been rethought,
3621 it now includes 'd' (domain name) types, and tries hard not to rewind an
3622 option beyond the start of the text field it is un-terminating.
3623
3624 Changes since 3.0.3
3625
3626- A DDNS update handling function was misusing the DNS error codes, rather
3627 than the internal generic result enumeration. The result is a confusing
3628 syslog line, logging the wrong condition.
3629
3630- The DHCP Server was not checking pool balance in the case where it brought
3631 a non-ACTIVE lease out of storage for a client that was returning to use
3632 a lease it once had long ago, and had since expired.
3633
3634- Failover peers no longer bother to look for free leases to allocate when
3635 they already found the client's ACTIVE lease. DISCOVERs are load balanced
98bd7ca0 3636 whether freely-allocated or not, unless the server doubts the peer has
88cd8aca
DH
3637 leases to allocate.
3638
3639- Fixed a bug in dhcrelay agent addition code that suppressed trailing
45d545f0 3640 PAD options - it was suppressing only one trailing PAD option, rather
88cd8aca
DH
3641 than the entire block of them.
3642
3a16098f
DH
3643! Fixed some unlikely overlapping-region memcpy() bugs in dhcrelay agent
3644 option addition and stripping code. Added a few sanity checks. Although
3645 highly improbable, due to requiring the reception of a DHCP datagram well
3646 in excess of all known to be used physical MTU limitations, it is possible
3647 this may have been used in a stack overflow security vulnerability. Thanks
3648 to a patch from infamous42md.
3649
3650! Added some sanity checks to OMAPI connection/authentication code.
3651 Although highly improbable, due to having to deliver in excess of 2^32
3652 bytes of data via the OMAPI channel, not to mention requiring dhcpd to
3653 be able to malloc() a memory region 2^32 bytes in size, it was possible
3654 this might have resulted in a heap overflow security vulnerability.
3655 Thanks to a patch from infamous42md.
88cd8aca
DH
3656
3657- dmalloc() memset()'s the non-debug (data) portion of the allocated
3658 memory to zero. Code that memset()'s the result returned by dmalloc() to
3659 zero is redundant. These redundancies were removed.
3660
3661- Some type declaration corrections to u_int16_t were made in common/tr.c
4b97eaff 3662 (Token Ring support) thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
88cd8aca
DH
3663
3664- A failover bug that was allowing leases that EXPIRED or were RELEASED
3665 where tsfp and tstp are identical timestamps to languish in these
3666 transitional states has been repaired. As a side effect, lease
3667 databases should be kept more consistent overall, not just for these
3668 transitional states.
3669
3670- If the lease db is deleted out from under the daemon, and it moves to rewrite
3671 the db, it will go ahead with the operation and move the new db into place
3672 once it detects the old db does not exist.
3673
3674- dhclient now ignores IRDA, SIT, and IEEE1394 network interfaces, as it
3675 is either nonsensical or (in the case of IEEE1394) is not known to support
3676 these interfaces. Thanks to Marius Gedminas and Andrew Pollock of Debian.
3677
3678- Some previously undocumented reasons for dhclient-script invoking has
45d545f0 3679 been documented in the dhclient-script.8 manpage.
88cd8aca
DH
3680
3681- Failover potential expiry calculations (TSTP) have been corrected. Results
3682 should be substantially more consistent, and proper given the constraints.
3683
3684- Adjusted lease state validation checks in potential-conflict, to
3685 account for possible clock skew similarly to normal state, and several
3686 previously illegal transitions were made legal (ex: active->released).
3687
3688- An impossible sanity check was removed from omapi/buffer.c, thanks to a
3689 patch from 'infamous42md'.
3690
3691- An OMAPI host/network byte order problem in lease time values has been
3692 repaired.
3693
3694- Several minor bugs, largely relating to treating 8-byte time values as
3695 4-byte entities, have been repaired after careful review of the FreeBSD
3696 ports collection's patch set. Thanks to the nameless entities who have
3697 contributed to the FreeBSD ports.
3698
3699- When writing a trace file, the file is now created with permissions 0600,
3700 to help administrators avoid accidentally publicising sensitive config
3701 data.
3702
3703- The calculation of the maximum size of DHCP packets no longer includes
3704 Ethernet framing overhead. The result is that the 'Maximum Message
3705 Size' option advertised by clients, or the default value 576, is no
3706 longer reduced by 14 bytes, and instead directly reflects the IP level
3707 MTU (and the default, minimum allowed IP MTU of 576).
3708
3709- The special status of RELEASED/EXPIRED/RESET leases when a server
3710 is operating in partner-down was fixed. It no longer requires a
3711 lease be twice the MCLT beyond STOS to 'reallocate', and the expiry
3712 event to turn these into FREE leases without peer acknowledgement
3713 (after STOS+MCLT) has been repaired.
3714
3715- Compilation on older Solaris systems (lacking /usr/include/sys/int_types.h)
3716 has been repaired.
3717
3718- "append"ing a string onto the end of a "t" type option (such as the
3719 domain-name field) that had been improperly NULL-terminated by the
3720 DHCP server will no longer result in a truncated string containing
3721 only the option from the server, and not the expected appended value.
4b97eaff 3722 Thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
88cd8aca
DH
3723
3724- File handlers on configuration state (config files and lease dbs) should
98bd7ca0 3725 be treated consistently, regardless of whether TRACING is defined or not.
88cd8aca 3726
45d545f0 3727- The Linux build environment has had some minor improvements - better
88cd8aca
DH
3728 sensing of 64-bit pointer sizes (only used for establishing an icmp_id),
3729 and corrections to #if operators regarding LINUX_MAJOR should it ever
3730 move to 3.[01].x.
3731
3732- The server now tries harder to survive the condition where it is unable
3733 to open a new lease file to rewrite the lease state database.
3734

3735 Changes since 3.0.3b3
3736
3737- dhclient.conf documentation for interface {} was updated to reflect recent
3738 discussion on the dhcp-hackers mailing list.
3739
3740- In response to reports that the software does not compile on GCC 4.0.0,
3741 -Werror was removed from Makefile.conf for all platforms that used it.
3742 We will address the true problem in a future release; this is a temporary
3743 workaround.
3744
3745 Changes since 3.0.3b2
3746
3747- An error in code changes introduced in 3.0.3b2 was corrected, which caused
3748 static BOOTP clients to receive random addresses.
3749
3750 Changes since 3.0.3b1
3751
3752- A bug was fixed in BOOTPREQUEST handling code wherein stale references to
3753 host records would be left behind on leases that were not allocated to the
3754 client currently booting (eg in the case where the host was denied booting).
3755
3756- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated to be more clear in regards to
3757 multiple host declarations (thanks to Vincent McIntyre). 'Interim' style
3758 dynamic updates were also retouched.
3759
98311e4b
DH
3760 Changes since 3.0.2
3761
3762- A bug was fixed where a server might load balance a DHCP REQUEST to its
45d545f0 3763 peer after already choosing not to load balance the preceding DISCOVER.
98311e4b
DH
3764 The peer cannot allocate the originating server's lease.
3765
3766- In the case where a secondary server lost its stable storage while the
3767 primary was still in communications-interrupted, and came back online,
3768 the lease databases would not be fully transferred to the secondary.
3769 This was due to the secondary errantly sending an extra UPDREQ message
3770 when the primary made its state transition to PARTNER-DOWN known.
3771
3772- The package will now compile cleanly in gcc 3.3 and 3.4. As a side effect,
3773 lease structures will be 9 bytes smaller on all platforms. Thanks to
4b97eaff 3774 Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3775
3776- Interface discovery code in DISCOVER_UNCONFIGURED mode is now
3777 properly restricted to only detecting broadcast interfaces. Thanks
4b97eaff 3778 to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3779
3780- decode_udp_ip_header was changed so that the IP address was copied out
3781 to a variable, rather than referenced by a pointer. This enforces 4-byte
3782 alignment of the 32-bit IP address value. Thanks to a patch from Dr.
3783 Peter Poeml.
3784
3785- An incorrect log message was corrected thanks to a patch from
3786 Dr. Peter Poeml.
3787
3788- A bug in DDNS was repaired, where if the server's first DDNS action was
3789 a DDNS removal rather than a DDNS update, the resolver library's
3790 retransmit timer and retry timer was set to the default, implying a
3791 15 second timeout interval. Which is a little excessive in a synchronous,
3792 single-threaded system. In all cases, ISC DHCP should now hold fast to
3793 a 1-second timeout, trying only once.
3794
3795- The siaddr field was being improperly set to the server-identifier when
3796 responding to DHCP messages. RFC2131 clarified the siaddr field as
3797 meaning the 'next server in the bootstrap process', eg a tftp server.
3798 The siaddr field is now left zeroed unless next-server is configured.
3799
3800- mockup_lease() could have returned in an error condition (or in the
3801 condition where no fixed-address was found matching the shared
3802 network) with stale references to a host record. This is probably not
3803 a memory leak since host records generally never die anyway.
3804
3805- A bug was repaired where failover servers would let stale client identifiers
3806 persist on leases that were reallocated to new clients not sending an id.
3807
3808- Binding scopes ("set var = value;") are now removed from leases allocated
3809 by failover peers if the lease had expired. This should help reduce the
3810 number of stale binding scopes on leases.
3811
3812- A small memory leak was closed involving client identifiers larger than
3813 7 bytes, and failover.
3814
3815- Configuring a subnet in dhcpd.conf with a subnet mask of 32 bits might
3816 cause an internal function to overflow heap. Thanks to Jason Vas Dias
4b97eaff 3817 at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3818
3819- Some inconsistencies in treating numbers that the lexer parsed as 'NUMBER'
3820 or 'NUMBER_OR_NAME' was repaired. Hexadecimal parsing is affected, and
3821 should work better.
3822
3823- In several cases, parse warnings were being issued before the lexical
3824 token had been advanced to the token whose value was causing an error...
3825 causing parse warnings to claim the problem is on the wrong token.
3826
3827- Host declarations matching on client identifier for dynamic leases will
3828 no longer match fixed-address host declarations (this is now identical
3829 to behaviour for host records matching on hardware address).
3830
3831 Changes since 3.0.2rc3
3832
3833- A previously undocumented configuration directive, 'local-address',
3834 was documented in the dhcpd.conf manpage.
3835
3836 Changes since 3.0.2rc2
3837
45d545f0 3838- Two variables introduced in 3.0.2b1 were used without being initialized
98311e4b
DH
3839 in the case where neither the FILE nor SNAME fields were available for
3840 overloading. This was repaired.
3841
3842- A heretofore believed to be impossible corner case of the option
3843 overloading implementation turned out to be possible ("Unable to sort
3844 overloaded options after 10 tries."). The implementation was reworked
3845 to consider the case of an option so large it would require more than
3846 three chunks to fit.
3847
3848- Many other instances of variables being used without being initialized
3849 were repaired.
3850
3851- An uninitialized variable in omapi_io_destroy() led to the discovery
3852 that this function may result in orphaned pointers (and hence, a memory
3853 leak).
3854
3855 Changes since 3.0.2rc1
3856
3857- allocate_lease() was rewritten to repair a bug in which the server would
3858 try to allocate an ABANDONED lease when FREE leases were available.
3859
3860 Changes since 3.0.2b1
3861
3862- Some dhcp-eval.5 manpage formatting was repaired.
3863
3864 Changes since 3.0.1
3865
3866- A bug was fixed in the server's 'option overloading' implementation,
3867 where options loaded into the 'file' and 'sname' packet fields were
3868 not aligned precisely as rfc2131 dictates.
3869
3870- The FreeBSD client script was changed to support the case where a domain
3871 name was not provided by the server.
3872
3873- A memory leak in 'omshell' per each command line parsed was
3874 repaired, thanks to a patch from Jarkko Torppa.
3875
3876- Log functions writing to stderr were adjusted to use the STDERR_FILENO
3877 system definition rather than '2'. This is a no-op for 90% of platforms.
3878
3879- One call to trace_write_packet_iov() counted the number of io vectors
3880 incorrectly, causing inconsistent tracefiles. This was fixed.
3881
3882- Some expression parse failure memory leaks were closed.
3883
3884- A host byte order problem in tracefiles was repaired.
3885
3886- Pools configured in DHCPD for failover possessing permission lists that
adb95d23 3887 previously were assumed to not include dynamic bootp clients are now
98311e4b
DH
3888 a little more pessimistic. The result is, dhcpd will nag you about just
3889 about most pools that possess a 'allow' statement with no 'deny' that
3890 would definitely match a dynamic bootp client.
3891
3892- The 'ddns-update-style' configuration warning bit now insists that
3893 the configuration be globally scoped.
3894
3895- Two memory leaks in dhclient were closed thanks to a patch from Felix
3896 Farkas.
3897
3898- Some minor but excellently pedantic documentation errors were fixed
3899 thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
3900
3901- Bugs in operator precedence in executable statements have been repaired
3902 once again. More legal syntaxes should be parsed legally.
3903
3904- Failing to initialize a tracefile for any reason if a tracefile was
3905 specified is now a fatal error. Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
3906
3907- Corrected a bug in which the number of leases transferred as calculated
3908 by the failover primary and sent to peers in POOLRESP responses may be
3909 incorrect. This value is not believed to be used by other failover
3910 implementations, excepting perhaps as logged information.
3911
3912- Corrected a bug in which 'dhcp_failover_send_poolresp()' was in fact
3913 sending POOLREQ messages instead of POOLRESP mesasges. This message
3914 was essentially ignored since failover secondaries effectively do not
3915 respond to POOLREQ messages.
3916
3917- Type definitions for various bitwidths of integers in the sunos5-5
3918 build of ISC DHCP have been fixed. It should compile and run more
3919 easily when built in 64-bit for this platform.
3920
3921- "allow known-clients;" is now a legal syntax, to avoid confusion.
3922
3923- If one dhcp server chooses to 'load balance' a request to its failover
3924 peer, it first checks to see if it believes said peer has a free
3925 lease to allocate before ignoring the DISCOVER.
3926
3927- log() was logging a work buffer, rather than the value returned by
3928 executing the statements configured by the user. In some cases,
3929 the work buffer and the intended results were the same. In some other
3930 cases, they were not. This was fixed thanks to a patch from Gunnar
3931 Fjone and directconnect.no.
3932
3933- Compiler warnings for some string type conversions was fixed, thanks
3934 to Andreas Gustafsson.
3935
3936- The netbsd build environments were simplified to one, in which
3937 -Wconversion is not used, thanks to Andreas Gustafsson.
3938
3939- How randomness in the backoff-cutoff dhclient configuration variable
3940 is implemented was better documented in the manpage, and the behaviour
3941 of dhclient in REQUEST timeout handling was changed to match that of
3942 DISCOVER timeout handling.
3943
3944- Omapi was hardened against clients that pass in null values, thanks
3945 to a patch from Mark Jason Dominus.
3946
3947- A bug was fixed in dhclient that kept it from doing client-side
3948 ddns updates. Thanks to a patch from Andreas Gustafsson, which
3949 underwent some modification after review by Jason Vas Dias.
3950
3951- Failover implementations disconnected due to the network between
3952 them (rather than one of the two shutting down) will now try to
3953 re-establish the failover connection every 5 seconds, rather than
3954 to simply try once and give up until one of them is restarted.
3955 Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from Infoblox, and field testing
3956 by Greger V. Teigre which led to an enhancement to it.
3957
3958- A problem that kept DHCP Failover secondaries from tearing down
3959 ddns records was repaired. Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from
3960 Infoblox.
3961
3962- 64bit pointer sizes are detected properly on FreeBSD now.
3963
3964- A bug was repaired where the DHCP server would leave stale references
3965 to host records on leases it once thought about offering to certain
3966 clients. The result would be to apply host and 'known' scopes to the
3967 wrong clients (possibly denying booting). NOTE: The 'mis-host' patch
3968 that was being circulated as a workaround is not the way this bug was
3969 fixed. If you were a victim of this bug in 3.0.1, you are cautioned
3970 to proceed carefully and see if it fixes your problem.
3971
3972- A bug was repaired in the server's DHCPINFORM handling, where it
3973 tried to divine the client's address from the source packet and
3974 would get it wrong. Thanks to Anshuman Singh Rawat.
3975
3976- A log message was introduced to help illuminate the case where the
3977 server was unable to find a lease to assign to any BOOTP client.
3978 Thanks to Daniel Baker.
3979
3980- A minor dhcpd.conf.5 manpage error was fixed.
3981
3982 Changes since 3.0.1rc14
3983
3984- The global variable 'cur_time' was centralized and is now uniformly of a
3985 type #defined in system-dependent headers. It had previously been defined
3986 in one of many places as a 32-bit value, and this causes mayhem on 64-bit
3987 big endian systems. It probably wasn't too healthy on little endian
3988 systems either.
3989
3990- A printf format string error introduced in rc14 was repaired.
3991
3992- AIX system-dependent header file was altered to only define NO_SNPRINTF
3993 if the condition used to #ifdef in vsnprintf in AIX' header files
3994 is false.
3995
3996- The Alpha/OSF system-dependent header file was altered to define
3997 NO_SNPRINTF on OS revisions older than 4.0G.
3998
3999- omapip/test.c had string.h added to its includes.
4000
4001 Changes since 3.0.1rc13
4002
4003! CAN-2004-0460 - CERT VU#317350: Five stack overflow exploits were closed
4004 in logging messages with excessively long hostnames provided by the
4005 clients. It is highly probable that these could have been used by
4006 attackers to gain arbitrary root access on systems using ISC DHCP 3.0.1
4007 release candidates 12 or 13. Special thanks to Gregory Duchemin for
4008 both finding and solving the problem.
4009
4010! CAN-2004-0461 - CERT VU#654390: Once the above was closed, an opening
45d545f0 4011 in log_*() functions was evidenced, on some specific platforms where
98311e4b
DH
4012 vsnprintf() was not believed to be available and calls were wrapped to
4013 sprintf() instead. Again, credit goes to Gregory Duchemin for finding
4014 the problem. Calls to snprintf() are now linked to a distribution-local
4015 snprintf implementation, only in those cases where the architecture is
4016 not known to provide one (see includes/cf/[arch].h). If you experience
4017 linking problems with snprintf/vsnprintf or 'isc_print_' functions, this
4018 is where to look. This vulnerability did not exist in any previously
4019 published version of ISC DHCP.
4020
4021- Compilation on hpux 11.11 was repaired.
4022
4023- 'The cross-compile bug fix' was backed out.
4024
4025 Changes since 3.0.1rc12
4026
4027- Fixed a bug in omapi lease lookup function, to form the hardware
4028 address for the hash lookup correctly, thanks to a patch from
4029 Richard Hirst.
4030
4031- Fixed a bug where dhcrelay was sending relayed responses back to the
4032 broadcast address, but with the source's unicast mac address. Should
4033 now conform to rfc2131 section 4.1.
4034
4035- Cross-compile bug fix; use $(AR) instead of ar. Thanks to Morten Brorup.
4036
4037- Fixed a crash bug in dhclient where dhcpd servers that do not provide
4038 renewal times results in an FPE. As a side effect, dhclient can now
4039 properly handle 0xFFFFFFFF (-1) expiry times supplied by servers. Thanks
4040 to a patch from Burt Silverman.
4041
4042- The 'ping timeout' debugs from rc12 were removed to -DDEBUG only,
45d545f0 4043 and reformatted to correct a compilation error on Solaris platforms.
98311e4b
DH
4044
4045- A patch was applied which fixes a case where leases read from the
4046 leases database do not properly over-ride previously read leases.
4047
4048- dhcpctl.3 manpage was tweaked.
4049
4050 Changes since 3.0.1rc11
4051
4052- A patch from Steve Campbell was applied with minor modifications to
4053 permit reverse dns PTR record updates with values containing spaces.
4054
4055- A patch from Florian Lohoff was applied with some modifications to
4056 dhcrelay. It now discards packets whose hop count exceeds 10 by default,
4057 and a command-line option (-c) can be used to set this threshold.
4058
4059- A failover bug relating to identifying peers by name length instead of
4060 by name was fixed.
4061
45d545f0 4062- Declaring failover configs within shared-network statements should no
98311e4b
DH
4063 longer result in error.
4064
4065- The -nw command line option to dhclient now works.
4066
4067- Thanks to a patch from Michael Richardson:
4068 - Some problems with long option processing have been fixed.
4069 - Some fixes to minires so that updates of KEY records will work.
4070
4071- contrib/ms2isc was updated by Shu-Min Chang of the Intel Corporation.
4072 see contrib/ms2isc/readme.txt for revision notes.
4073
4074- Dhclient no longer uses shell commands to kill another instance of
4075 itself, it sends the signal directly. Thanks to a patch from Martin
4076 Blapp.
4077
4078- The FreeBSD dhclient-script was changed so that a failure to write to
4079 /etc/resolv.conf does not prematurely end the script. This keeps dhclient
4080 from looping infinitely when this is the case. Thanks to a patch from
4081 Martin Blapp.
4082
4083- A patch from Bill Stephens was applied which resolves a problem with lease
4084 expiry times in failover configurations.
4085
4086- A memory leak in configuration parsing was closed thanks to a patch from
4087 Steve G.
4088
4089- The function which discovers interfaces will now skip non-broadcast or
4090 point-to-point interfaces, thanks to a patch from David Brownlee.
4091
4092- Options not yet known by the dhcpd or dhclient have had their names
4093 changed such that they do not contain # symbols, in case they should ever
4094 appear in a lease file. An option that might have been named "#144" is
4095 now "unknown-144".
4096
4097- Another patch from Bill Stephens which allows the ping-check timeout to
4098 be configured as 'ping-timeout'. Defaults to 1.
4099
4100 Changes since 3.0.1rc10
4101
4102- Potential buffer overflows in minires repaired.
4103
4104- A change to the linux client script to use /bin/bash, since /bin/sh may
4105 not be bash.
4106
4107- Some missing va_end cleanups thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
4108
4109- A correction of boolean parsing syntax validation - some illegal syntaxes
4110 that worked before are now detected and produce errs, some legal syntaxes
4111 that errored before will now work properly.
4112
4113- Some search-and-replace errors that caused some options to change their
4114 names was repaired.
4115
4116- Shu-min Chang of the Intel corporation has contributed a perl script and
4117 module that converts the MS NT4 DHCP configuration to a ISC DHCP3
4118 configuration file.
4119
4120- Applied the remainder of the dhcpctl memory leak patch provided by Bill
4121 Squier at ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
4122
4123- Missing non-optional failover peer configurations will now result in a soft
4124 error rather than a null dereference.
4125
4126 Changes since 3.0.1rc9
4127
4128- A format string was corrected to fix compiler warnings.
4129
4130- A number of spelling corrections were made in the man pages.
4131
4132- The dhclient.conf.5 man page was changed to refer to do-forward-updates
4133 rather than a configuration option that doesn't exist.
4134
4135- A FreeBSD-specific bug in the interface removal handling was fixed.
4136
4137- A Linux-specific Token Ring detection problem was fixed.
4138
4139- Hashes removed from as-yet-unknown agent options, having those options
4140 appear in reality before we know about them will no longer produce
4141 self-corrupting lease databases.
4142
4143- dhclient will use the proper port numbers now when using the -g option.
4144
4145- A order-of-operations bug with 2 match clauses in 1 class statement is
4146 fixed thanks to a patch from Andrew Matheson.
4147
4148- Compilation problems on Solaris were fixed.
4149
4150- Compilation problems when built with DEBUG or DEBUG_PACKET were repaired.
4151
4152- A fix to the dhcp ack process which makes certain group options will be
4153 included in the first DHCPOFFER message was made thanks to a patch from
4154 Ling Gou.
4155
4156- A few memory leaks were repaired thanks to patches from Bill Squier at
4157 ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
4158
4159- A fix for shared-networks that sometimes give clients options for the
4160 wrong subnets (in particular, 'option routers') was applied, thanks to
4161 Ted Lemon for the patch.
4162
4163- Omshell's handling of dotted octets as values was changed such that dots
4164 one after the other produce zero values in the integer string.
4165
4166 Changes since 3.0.1rc8
4167
4168- Fix a format string vulnerability in the server that could lead to a
4169 remote root compromise (discovered by NGSEC Research Team, www.ngsec.com).
4170
4171- Add additional support for NetBSD/sparc64.
4172
4173- Fix a bug in the command-line parsing of the client. Also, resolve
4174 a memory leak.
4175
4176- Add better support for shells other than bash in the Linux client
4177 script.
4178
4179- Various build fixes for modern versions of FreeBSD and Linux.
4180
4181- Fix a bad bounds check when printing binding state names.
4182
4183- Clarify documentation about fixed-address and multiple addresses.
4184
4185- Fix a typo in the authoritative error message.
4186
4187- Make a log entry when we can't write a billing class.
4188
4189- Use conversion targets that are the right size on all architectures.
4190
4191- Increment the hop count when relaying.
4192
4193- Log a message when lease state is changed through OMAPI.
4194
4195- Don't rerun the shared_network when evaluating the pool.
4196
4197- Fix a reversed test in the parser.
4198
4199- Change the type of rbuf_max.
4200
4201- Make FTS_LAST a manifest constant to quiet warnings.
4202
4203 Changes since 3.0.1rc7
4204
4205- Fix two compiler warnings that are generated when compiling on Solaris
4206 with gcc. These stop the build, even though they weren't actually
4207 errors, because we prefer that our builds generate no warnings.
4208
4209 Changes since 3.0.1rc6
4210
4211- Don't allow a lease that's in the EXPIRED, RELEASED or RESET state
4212 to be renewed.
4213
4214- Implement lease stealing for cases where the primary has fewer leases
4215 than the secondary, as called for by the standard.
4216
4217- Add a fudge factor to the lease expiry acceptance code, (suggested
4218 by Kevin Miller of CMU).
4219
4220- Fix a bug in permit_list_match that made it much too willing to say
4221 that two permit lists matched.
4222
4223- Unless DEBUG_DNS_UPDATES is defined, print more user-friendly (and
4224 also more compact) messages about DNS updates.
4225
4226- Fix a bug in generating wire-format domain names for the FQDN option.
4227
4228- Fix a bug where the FQDN option would not be returned if the client
4229 requested it, contrary to the standard.
4230
4231- On Darwin, use the FreeBSD DHCP client script.
4232
4233- On NetBSD/sparc, don't check for casting warnings.
4234
4235- Add a flag in the DHCP client to disable updating the client's A
4236 record when sending an FQDN option indicating that the client is
4237 going to update its A record.
4238
4239- In the client, don't attempt a DNS update until one second after
4240 configuring the new IP address, and if the update times out, keep
4241 trying until a response, positive or negative, is received from the
4242 DNS server.
4243
4244- Fix an uninitialized memory bug in the DHCP client.
4245
4246- Apply some FreeBSD-specific bug fixes suggested by Murray Stokely.
4247
4248- Fix a bug in ns_parserr(), where it was returning the wrong sort
4249 of result code in some cases (suggested by Ben Harris of the
4250 NetBSD project).
4251
4252- Fix a bug in is_identifier(), where it was checking against EOF
4253 instead of the END_OF_FILE token (also suggested by Ben Harris).
4254
4255- Fix a bug where if an option universe contained no options, the
4256 DHCP server could dump core (Walter Steiner).
4257
4258- Fix a bug in the handling of encapsulated options.
4259
4260- Fix a bug that prevented NWIP suboptions from being processed.
4261
4262- Delete the FTS_BOOTP and FTS_RESERVED states and implement them
4263 as modifier flags to the FTS_ACTIVE state, as called for in the
4264 failover protocol standard.
4265
4266- Fix bugs in the pool merging code that resulted in references and
4267 dereferences of null pointers. This bug had no impact unless the
4268 POINTER_DEBUG flag was defined.
4269
4270- In the server, added a do-forward-updates flag that can be used to
4271 disable forward updates in all cases, so that sites that want the
4272 clients to take sole responsibility for updating their A record can
4273 do so.
4274
4275- Make it possible to disable optimization of PTR record updates.
4276
4277 Changes since 3.0.1rc5
4278
4279- Include some new documentation and changes provided by Karl Auer.
4280
4281- Add a workaround for some Lexmark printers that send a double-NUL-
4282 terminated host-name option, which would break DNS updates.
4283
4284- Fix an off-by-one error in the MAC-address checking code for
4285 DHCPRELEASE that was added in 3.0.1rc5.
4286
4287- Fix a bug where client-specific information was not being discarded
4288 from the lease when it expired or was released, resulting in
4289 problems if the lease was reallocated to a different client.
4290
4291- If more than one allocation pool is specified that has the same set
4292 of constraints as another allocation pool on the same shared
4293 network, merge the two pools.
4294
4295- Don't print an error in fallback_discard, since this just causes
4296 confusion and does not appear to be helping to encourage anyone to
4297 fix this bug.
4298
4299 Changes since 3.0.1rc4
4300
4301- Fix a bug that would cause the DHCP server to spin if asked to parse
4302 a certain kind of incorrect statement.
4303
4304- Fix a related bug that would prevent an error from being reported in
4305 the same case.
4306
4307- Additional documentation.
4308
4309- Make sure that the hardware address matches the lease when
4310 processing a DHCPRELEASE message.
4311
4312 Changes since 3.0.1rc3
4313
4314- A minor bug fix in the arguments to a logging function call.
4315- Documentation update for dhcpd.conf.
4316
adbef119 4317 Changes since 3.0.1rc2
98311e4b
DH
4318
4319- Allow the primary to send a POOLREQ message. This isn't what the current
4320 failover draft says to do, so we may have to back it out if I can't get the
4321 authors to relent, but the scheme for balancing that's specified in the
4322 current draft seems needlessly hairy, so I'm floating a trial balloon.
4323 The rc1 code did not implement the method described in the draft either.
4324
adbef119 4325 Changes since 3.0.1rc1
98311e4b
DH
4326
4327- Treat NXDOMAIN and NXRRSET as success when we are trying to delete a
4328 domain or RRSET. This allows the DHCP server to forget about a name
4329 it added to the DNS once it's been removed, even if the DHCP server
4330 wasn't the one that removed it.
4331
4332- Install defaults for failover maximum outstanding updates and maximum
4333 silent time. This prevents problems that might occur if these values
4334 were not configured.
4335
4336- Don't do DDNS deletes if ddns-update-style is none.
4337
4338- Return relay agent information options in DHCPNAK. This prevents DHCPNAK
4339 messages from being dropped when the relay agent information option contains
4340 routing information.
4341
4342- Fix a problem where coming up in recover wouldn't result in an update
4343 request being sent.
4344
4345- Add some more chatty messages when we start a recovery update and when it's
4346 done.
4347
4348- Fix a possible problem where some state might have been left around
4349 after the peer lost contact and regained contact about how many updates
4350 were pending.
4351
4352- Don't nix a lease update because of a lease conflict. This test has
4353 never (as far as I know) prevented a mistake, and it appears to cause
4354 problems with failover.
4355
4356- Add support in rc history code for keeping a selective history, rather
4357 than a history of all references and dereferences. This code is only used
4358 when extensive additional debugging is enabled.
4359
adbef119 4360 Changes since 3.0
98311e4b
DH
4361
4362- Make allocators for hash tables. As a side effect, this fixes a memory
4363 smash in the subclass allocation code.
4364
4365- Fix a small bug in omshell where if you try to close an object when
4366 no object is open, it dumps core.
4367
4368- Fix an obscure coredump that could occur on shutdown.
4369
4370- Fix a bug in the recording of host declaration rubouts in the lease file.
4371
4372- Fix two potential spins in the host deletion code.
4373
4374- Fix a core dump that would happen if an application tried to update
4375 a host object attribute with a null value.
4376
4377 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 12
4378
4379- Fix a memory leak in the evaluation code.
4380
4381- Fix an obscure core dump.
4382
4383- Print a couple of new warnings when parsing the configuration file
4384 when crucial information is left out.
4385
4386- Log "no free leases" as an error.
4387
4388- Documentation updates.
4389
4390 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 11
4391
4392- Always return a subnet selection option if one is sent.
4393
4394- Fix a warning that was being printed because an automatic data
4395 structure wasn't zeroed.
4396
4397- Fix some failover state transitions that were being handled
4398 incorrectly.
4399
4400- When supersede_lease is called on a lease whose end time has already
4401 expired, but for which a state transition has not yet been done, do
4402 a state transition. This fixes the case where if the secondary
4403 allocated a lease to a client and the lease "expired" while the
4404 secondary was in partner-down, no expiry event would actually
4405 happen, so the lease would remain active until the primary was
4406 restarted.
4407
4408 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 10
4409
4410- Fix a bug that was preventing released leases from changing state
4411 in failover-enabled pools.
4412
4413- Fix a core dump in the client identifier finder code (for host
4414 declarations).
4415
4416- Finish fixing a bug where bogus data would sometimes get logged to
4417 the dhclient.leases file because it was opened as descriptor 2.
4418
4419- Fix the Linux dhclient-script according to suggestions made by
4420 several people on the dhcp-client mailing list.
4421
4422- Log successful DNS updates at LOG_INFO, not LOG_ERROR.
4423
4424- Print an error message and refuse to run if a failover peer is
4425 defined but not referenced by any pools.
4426
4427- Correct a confusing error message in failover.
4428
eaf0b302
TL
4429 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 9

TL
4433 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8 Patchlevel 2
4434
4435- Fix a bug that prevented update-static-leases from working.
4436
4437- Document failover-state OMAPI object.
4438
4439- Fix a compilation error on SunOS 4.

d758ad8c
TL
4441 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8 Patchlevel 1
4442
4443- Fix a parsing bug that broke dns updates (both interim and ad-hoc).
4444 This was introduced in rc8pl1 as an unintended result of the memory
4445 leakage fixes that were in pl1.
4446
4447- Fix a long-standing bug where the server would record that an update
4448 had been done for a client with no name, even though no update had
4449 been done, and then when the client's lease expired the deletion of
4450 that nonexistant record would time out because the name was the null
9a111ee8 4451 string.
d758ad8c
TL
4452
4453- Clean up the omshell, dhcpctl and omapi man pages a bit.
4454
d758ad8c
TL
4455 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8
4456
4457- Fix a bug that could cause the DHCP server to spin if
4458 one-lease-per-client was enabled.
4459
4460- Fix a bug that was causing core dumps on BSD/os in the presence of
4461 malformed packets.
4462
4463- In partner-down state, don't restrict lease lengths to MCLT.
4464
4465- On the failover secondary, record the MCLT received from the primary
4466 so that if we come up without a connection to the primary we don't
4467 wind up giving out zero-length leases.
4468
4469- Fix some compilation problems on BSD/os.
4470
4471- Fix a bunch of memory leaks.
4472
4473- Fix a couple of bugs in the option printer.
4474
4475- Fix an obscure error reporting bug in the dns update code, and also
4476 make the message clearer when a key algorithm isn't supported.
4477
4478- Fix a bug in the tracing code that prevented trace runs that used
4479 tcp connections from being played back.
4480
4481- Add some additional debugging capability for catching memory leaks
4482 on exit.
4483
4484- Make the client release the lease correctly on shutdown.
4485
4486- Add some configurability to the build system.
4487
4488- Install omshell manual page in man1, not man8.
4489
4490- Craig Gwydir sent in a patch that fixes a long-standing bug in the
4491 DHCP client that could cause core dumps, but that for some reason
4492 hadn't been noticed until now.
4493
4494 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 7
4495
4496- Fix a bug in failover where we weren't sending updates after a
4497 transition from communications-interrupted to normal.
4498
4499- Handle expired/released/reset -> free transition according to the
4500 protocol specification (this works - the other way not only wasn't
4501 conformant, but also didn't work).
4502
4503- Add a control object in both client and server that allows either
4504 daemon to be shut down cleanly.
4505
4506- When writing a lease, if we run out of disk space, shut down the
4507 output file and insist on writing a new one before proceeding.
4508
4509- In the server, if the OMAPI listener port is occupied, keep trying
4510 to get it, rather than simply giving up and exiting.
4511
4512- Support fetching variables from leases and also updating and adding
4513 variables to leases via OMAPI.
4514
4515- If two failover peers have wildly different clocks, refuse to start
4516 doing failover.
4517
4518- Fix a bug in the DNS update code that could cause core dumps when
4519 running on alpha processors.
4520
4521- Fixed a bug in ddns updates for static lease entries, thanks to a
4522 patch from Andrey M Linkevitch.
4523
4524- Add support for Darwin/MacOS X
4525
4526- Install omshell (including new documentation).
4527
4528- Support DNS updates in the client (this is a very obscure feature
4529 that most DHCP client users probably will not be able to use).
4530
4531- Somewhat cleaner status logging in the client.
4532
4533- Make OMAPI key naming syntax compatible with the way keys are
4534 actually named (key names are domain names).
4535
4536- Fix a bug in the lease file writer.
4537
4538- Install DHCP ISC headers in a different place than BIND 9 ISC
4539 headers, to avoid causing trouble in BIND 9 builds.
4540
4541- Don't send updates for attributes on an object when the attributes
4542 haven't changed. Support deleting attributes on remote objects.
4543
4544- Fix a number of bugs in omshell, and add the unset and refresh
4545 statements.
4546
4547- Handle disconnects in OMAPI a little bit more intelligently (so that
4548 the caller gets ECONNRESET instead of EINVAL).
4549
4550- Fix a bunch of bugs in the handling of clients that have existing
4551 leases when the try to renew their leases while failover is
4552 operating.
4553
eaf0b302
TL
4554 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 6
4555
4556- Fix a core dump that could happen when processing a DHCPREQUEST from
4557 a client that had a host declaration that contained both a
4558 fixed-address declaration and a dhcp-client-identifier option
4559 declaration, if the client identifier was longer than nine bytes.
4560
4561- Fix a memory leak that could happen in certain obscure cases when
4562 using omapi to manipulate leases.
4563
4564- Fix some bugs and omissions in omshell.
4565
eaf0b302
TL
4566 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 5
4567
4568- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that prevented objects in
4569 chains from having their reference counts decreased on dereference.
4570
4571- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that would prevent object
4572 chains from being freed upon removal of the last reference external
4573 to the chain.
4574
4575- Fix a number of other memory leaks in the OMAPI protocol subsystem.
4576
4577- Add code in the OMAPI protocol handler to trace memory leakage.
4578
4579- Clean up the memory allocation/reference history printer.
4580
98311e4b 4581- Support input of dotted quads and colon-separated hex lists as
eaf0b302

4586- Conditionalize a piece of trace code that wasn't conditional.
4587
4588 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 4
4589
4590- Fix a bug that would prevent leases from being abandoned properly on
4591 DHCPDECLINE.
4592
4593- Fix failover peer OMAPI support.
4594
4595- In failover, correctly handle expiration of leases. Previously,
4596 leases would never be reclaimed because they couldn't make the
4597 transition from EXPIRED to FREE.
4598
4599- Fix some broken failover state transitions.
4600
4601- Documentation fixes.
4602
4603- Take out an unnecessary check in DHCP relay agent information option
4604 stashing code that was preventing REBINDING clients from rebinding.
4605
4606- Prevent failover peers from allocating leases in DHCPREQUEST
4607 processing if the lease belongs to the other server.
4608
4609- Record server version in lease file introductory comment.
4610
4611- Correctly report connection errors in OMAPI and failover.
4612
4613- Make authentication signature algorithm name comparisons in OMAPI
4614 case-insensitive.
4615
4616- Fix compile problem on SunOS 4.x
4617
98311e4b 4618- If a signature algorithm is not terminated with '.', terminate it so
eaf0b302
TL
4619 that comparisons between fully-qualified names will work
4620 consistently.
4621
4622- Different SIOCGIFCONF probe code, may "fix" problem on some Linux
4623 systems with the probe not working correctly.
4624
4625- Don't allow user to type omapi key on command line of omshell.

TL
4627 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 3
4628
4629- Do lease billing on startup in a way that I *think* will finally do
4630 the billing correctly - the previous method could overbill as a
4631 result of duplicate leases.

TL
4635 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 2 Patchlevel 1

4637- Fix some problems in the DDNS update code. Thanks to Albert
4638 Herranz for figuring out the main problem.
4639
4640- Fix some reference counting errors on host entries that were causing
4641 core dumps.
4642
4643- Fix a byte-swap bug in the token ring code, thanks to Jochen
4644 Friedrich.
4645
4646- Fix a bug in lease billing, thanks to Jonas Bulow.
4647
4648 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 2
4649
4650- Change the conditions under which a DHCPRELEASE is actually
4651 committed to be consistent with lease binding states rather than
98311e4b 4652 using the lease end time. This may fix some problems with the
892fe689
TL
4653 billing class code.
4654
4655- Fix a bug where lease updates would fail on Digital Unix (and maybe

TL
4663- Fix the dhcp_failover_put_message to not attempt to allocate a
4664 zero-length buffer. Some versions of malloc() fail if you try to
4665 allocate a zero-length buffer, and this was causing problems on,
4666 e.g., Digital Unix.
4667
4668- Fix a case where the failover code was printing an error message
4669 when no error had occurred.
4670
4671- Fix a problem where when a server went down and back up again, the
4672 peer would not see a state transition and so would stay in the
4673 non-communicating state.
4674
4675- Be smart about going into recover_wait.
4676
4677- Fix a problem in the failover implementation where peers would fail
4678 to come into sync if interrupted in the RECOVER state. This could
4679 have been the cause of some problems people have reported recently.
4680
4681- Fix a problem with billing classes where they would not be unbilled
4682 when the client lease expired.
4683
4684- If select fails, figure out which descriptor is bad, and cut it out
4685 of the I/O loop. This prevents a potentially nasty spin. I
4686 haven't heard any report it in a while, but it came up consistently
4687 in testing.
4688
4689- Fix a bug in the relay agent where if you specified interfaces on
4690 the command line, it would fail.
4691
4692- Fix a couple of small bugs in the omapi connection object (no known
4693 user impact).
4694
4695- Add the missing 3.0 Beta 1 lease conversion script.
4696
4697- Read dhcp client script hooks if they exist, rather than only if
4698 they're executable.

4710- There is a known problem with the DHCP server doing failover on
4711 Compaq Alpha systems. This patchlevel is not a release candidate
4712 because of this bug. The bug should be straightforward to fix, so
4713 a new release candidate is expected shortly.

4721 work, so that failover should now much less fragile.

4723- Add some dhcpctl and omapi documentation
4724
4725- Fix compile errors when compiling with unusual predefines.

4738
4739- Fix a bug in the DNS update code where a status code was not being
4740 checked. This may have been causing core dumps.
4741
4742- When parsing the lease file, if a lease declaration includes a
4743 billing class statement, and the lease already has a billing class,
4744 unbill the old class.
4745
4746- When processing failover transactions, where acks will be deferred,
4747 process the state transition immediately.
4748
4749- Don't try to use the new SIOCGIFCONF buffer size detection code on
4750 Linux 2.0, which doesn't provide this functionality.
4751
4752- Apply a patch suggested by Tuan Uong for a problem in dlpi.c.
4753
4754- Fix a problem in using the which command in the configure script.
4755
4756- Fix a parse error in the client when setting up an omapi listener.
4757
4758- Document the -n and -g flags to the client.
4759
4760- Make sure there is always a stdin and stdout on startup. This
4761 prevents shell scripts from accidentally writing error messages into
4762 configuration files that happen to be opened as stderr.
4763
4764- If an interface is removed, the client will now notice that it is
4765 gone rather than spinning. This has only been tested on NetBSD.
4766
4767- The client will attempt to get an address even if it can't create a
4768 lease file.

4790 pl19.

4814
4815- Implement omshell, which can be used to do arbitrary things to the
4816 server (in theory). (Damien Neil)
4817
4818- Fix a case where if a client had two different leases the server could
4819 actually dereference the second one when it hadn't been referenced,
4820 leading to memory corruption and a core dump. (James Brister)
4821
4822- Fix a case where a client could request the address of another client's
4823 lease, but find_lease wouldn't detect that the other client had it, and
4824 would attempt to allocate it to the client, resulting in a lease conflict
4825 message.
4826
4827- Fix a case where a client with more than one client identifier could be
4828 given a lease where the hardware address was correct but the client
4829 identifier was not, resulting in a lease conflict message.
4830
98311e4b 4831- Fix a problem where the server could write out a colon-separated
3350f5b7
TL
4832 hex list as a value for a variable, which would then not parse.
4833 The fix is to always write strings as quoted strings, with any
4834 non-printable characters quoted as octal escape sequences. So
4835 a file written the old way still won't work, but new files written
4836 this way will work.

4838- Fix documentation for sending non-standard options.
4839
4840- Use unparsable names for unknown options. WARNING: this will
4841 break any configuration files that use the option-nnn convention.
4842 If you want to continue to use this convention for some options,
4843 please be sure to write a definition, like this:
4844
4845 option option-nnn code nnn = string;
4846
4847 You can use a descriptive name instead of option-nnn if you like.
4848
4849- Fix a problem where we would see a DHCPDISCOVER/DHCPOFFER/
4850 DHCPREQUEST/DHCPACK/DHCPREQUEST/DHCPNAK sequence. This was the
4851 result of a deceptively silly bug in supersede_lease.
4852

4854 Hermann Lauer.

TL
4866- Add support for transaction tracing. This allows the state of the
4867 DHCP server on startup, and all the subsequent transactions, to be
4868 recorded in a file which can then be played back to reproduce the
4869 behaviour of the DHCP server. This can be used to quickly
4870 reproduce bugs that cause core dumps or corruption, and also for
4871 tracking down memory leaks.
4872
4873- Incorporate some bug fixes provided by Joost Mulders for the DLPI
4874 package which should clear up problems people have been seeing on
4875 Solaris.
4876
4877- Fix bugs in the handling of options stored as linked lists (agent
4878 options, fqdn options and nwip options) that could cause memory
4879 corruption and core dumps.
4880
4881- Fix a bug in DHCPREQUEST handling that resulted in DHCPNAK messages
4882 not being send in some cases when they were needed.

4887 and implemented by Damien Neil.

4926
4927- Finish fixing a long-standing bug in the agent options code. This
4928 was causing core dumps and failing to operate correctly - in
4929 particular, agent option stashing wasn't working. Agent option
4930 stashing should now be working, meaning that agent options can be
4931 used in class statements to control address allocation.
4932

4939
4940- Fix a compile error on some older operating systems.

4943 transmitting packets to the server. Handy for debugging; not much
4944 practical use otherwise.

4955- Work around the Win98 DHCP client, which NUL-terminates the FQDN
4956 option.

4958- Work around Win98 and Win2k clients that will claim they want to do
4959 the update even when they don't have any way to do it.
4960
4961- Fix some log messages that can be printed when failover is operating
4962 that were not printing enough information.
4963
4964- It was possible for a DHCPDISCOVER to get an allocation even when
4965 the state machine said the server shouldn't be responding.
4966
4967- Don't load balance DHCPREQUESTs from clients in RENEWING and
4968 REBINDING, since in RENEWING, if we heard it, it's for us, and in
4969 REBINDING, the client wouldn't have got to REBINDING if its primary
4970 were answering.

4984 representation from working correctly.
4985
4986- Thanks to Chris Cheney and Michael Sanders, we have a fix for the
4987 hang that they both spotted in the DHCP server - when
4988 one-lease-per-client was set, the code to release the "other" lease
4989 could spin.
4990
4991- Fix a problem with alignment of the input buffer in bpf in cases
4992 where two packets arrive in the same bpf read.
4993
4994- Fix a problem where the relay agent would crash if you specified an
4995 interface name on the command line.
4996
4997- Add the ability to conditionalize client behaviour based on the
4998 client state.
4999
5000- Add support for the FQDN option, and added support for a new way of
5001 doing ddns updates (ddns update style interim) that allows more than
5002 one DHCP server to update the DNS for the same network(s). This
5003 was implemented by Damien Neil with some additional functionality
5004 added by Ted Lemon.
5005
5006- Damien added a "log" statement, so that the configuration file can
5007 be made to log debugging information and other information.
5008
5009- Fixed a bug that caused option buffers not to be terminated with an
5010 end option.
5011
5012- Fixed a long-standing bug in the support for option spaces where the
5013 options are stored as an ordered list rather than in a hash table,
5014 which could theoretically result in memory pool corruption.
5015
5016- Prevent hardware declarations with no actual hardware address from
5017 being written as something unparsable, and behave correctly in the
5018 face of a null hardware address on input.
5019
5020- Allow key names to be FQDNs, and qualify the algorithm name if it is
5021 specified unqualified.
5022
5023- Modify the DDNS update code so that it never prints the "resolver
5024 failed" message, but instead says *why* the resolver failed.
5025
5026- Officially support the subnet selection option, which now has an
5027 RFC.

5089- Fix a possible DoS attack where a client could cause the checksummer
5090 to dump core. This was a read, not a write, so it shouldn't be
5091 possible to exploit it any further than that.
5092
5093- Implement client- and server-side support for using the Client FQDN
5094 option.
5095
5096- Support for other option spaces in the client has been added. This
5097 means that it is now possible to define a vendor option space on the
5098 client, request options in that space from the server (which must
5099 define the same option space), and then use those options in the
5100 client. This also allows NWIP and Client FQDN options to be used
5101 meaningfully.
5102
5103- Add object initializer support. This means that objects can now be
5104 initialized to something other than all-zeros when allocated, which
5105 makes, e.g., the interface object support code a little more robust.
5106
5107- Fix an off-by-one bug in the host stuffer. This was causing host
5108 deletes not the work, and may also have been causing OMAPI
5109 connections to get dropped. Thanks to James Brister for tracking
5110 this one down!
