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

42 Changes since 4.2.1
43
44! In dhclient check the data for some string options for
45 reasonableness before passing it along to the script that
46 interfaces with the OS.

50- DHCPv6 server now responds properly if client asks for a prefix that
51 is already assigned to a different client. [ISC-Bugs #23948]
bea17697 52
5a38e43f
SR
53 Changes since 4.2.0
54
55- Documentation cleanup covering multiple tickets
56 [ISC-Bugs #20265] [ISC-Bugs #20259] minor cleanup
57 [ISC-Bugs #20263] add text describing some default values
58 [ISC-Bugs #20193] single quotes at the start of a line indicate a control
59 line to nroff, escape them if we actually want a quote.
60 [ISC-Bugs #18916] sync the pointer to web pages amongst the different docs
61
524705e5
DH
62- 'get-host-names true;' now also works even if 'use-host-decl-names true;'
63 was also configured. The nature of this repair also fixes another
64 error; the host-name supplied by a client is no longer overridden by a
65 reverse lookup of the lease address. Thanks to a patch from Wilco Baan
66 Hofman supplied to us by the Debian package maintenance team.
67 [ISC-Bugs #21691] {Debian Bug#509445}
68
f07d0fb5
DH
69- The .TH tag for the dhcp-options manpage was typo repaired
70 thanks to a report from jidanni and the Debian package maintenance
71 team. [ISC-Bugs #21676] {Debian Bug#563613}
72
d6645f56
SR
73- More documentation changes - primarily to put the options in the dhclient
74 and dhcpd man pages into the standard form. Thanks in part to a patch
75 from David Cantrell at Red Hat.
76 [ISC-Bugs #20264] and parts of [ISC-Bugs #17744] dhclient.8 changes
77
4a5098e9
SR
78- Add code to clear the pointer to an object in an OMAPI handle when the
79 object is freed due to a dereference. [ISC-Bugs #21306]
80
ea75d544
DH
81- Fixed a bug that leaks host record references onto lease structures,
82 causing the server to apply configuration intended for one host to any
83 other innocent clients that come along later. [ISC-Bugs #22018]
84
66be0ad1
SR
85- Minor code fixes
86 [ISC-Bugs #19566] When trying to find the zone for a name for ddns allow
87 the name to be at the apex of the zone.
88 [ISC-Bugs #19617] Restrict length of interface name read from command line
89 in dhcpd - based on a patch from David Cantrell at Red Hat.
90 [ISC-Bugs #20039] Correct some error messages in dhcpd.c
91 [ISC-Bugs #20070] Better range check on values when creating a DHCID.
92 [ISC-Bugs #20198] Avoid writing past the end of the field when adding
93 overly long file or server names to a packet and add a log message
94 if the configuration supplied overly long names for these fields.
95 Thanks to Martin Pala.
96 [ISC-Bugs #21497] Add a little more randomness to rng seed in client
97 thanks to a patch from Jeremiah Jinno.
98
57fbc772
SR
99- Correct error handling in DLPI [ISC-Bugs #20378]
100
101- Remove __sun__ and __hpux__ typedefs in osdep.h as they are now being
102 checked in configure. [ISC-Bugs #20443]
103
104- Modify how the cmsg header is allocated the v6 send and received routines
105 to compile on more compilers. [ISC-Bugs #20524]
106
107- When parsing a domain name free the memory for the name after we are
108 done with it. [ISC-Bugs #20824]
109
197c917e
SR
110- Add an elapsed time option to the release message and refactor the
111 code to move most of the common code to a single routine.
112 [ISC-Bugs #21171].
113
8bd445a1
DH
114- Two identical log messages for commit_leases() have been disambiguated.
115 [ISC-Bugs #18915]
116
83d409ae
SR
117- Parse date strings more properly - the code now handles semi-colons in
118 date strings correctly. Thanks to a patch from Jiri Popelka at Red Hat.
119 [ISC-Bugs #21501, #20598]
120
6aaaf6a4
SR
121- Fixes to lease input and output.
122 [ISC-Bugs #20418] - Some systems don't support the "%s" argument to
123 strftime, paste together the same string using mktime instead.
124 [ISC-Bugs #19596] - When parsing iaid values accept printable
125 characters.
126 [ISC-Bugs #21585] - Always print time values in omshell as hex
127 instead of ascii if the values happen to be printable characters.
128
4e0997c6
SR
129- Minor changes for scripts, configure.ac and Makefiles
130 [ISC-Bugs #19147] Use domain-search instead of domain-name in manual and
131 example conf file. Thanks to a patch from David Cantrell
132 at Red Hat.
133 [ISC-Bugs #19761] Restore address when doing a rebind in DHCPv6
134 [ISC-Bugs #19945] Properly close the quote on some arguments.
135 [ISC-Bugs #20952] Add 64 bit types to configure.ac
136 [ISC-Bugs #21308] Add "PATH=" to CLIENT_PATH envrionment variable
137
ad59838e
SR
138- Update the code to parse dhcpv6 lease files to accept a semi-colon at
139 the end of the max-life and preferred-life clauses. In order to be
140 backwards compatible with older lease files not finding a semi-colon
141 is also accepted. [ISC-Bugs #22303].
142
4dc5a6b1
SR
143! Handle a relay forward message with an unspecified address in the
144 link address field. Previously such a message would cause the
f33dc722
SR
145 server to crash. Thanks to a report from John Gibbons. [ISC-Bugs #21992]
146 CERT: VU#102047 CVE: CVE-2010-3611
147
8d50c721
DH
148- ./configure on longer searches for -lcrypto to explicitly link against.
149 This fixes a bug where 'dhclient' would have shared library dependencies
150 on '/usr/lib'. [ISC-Bugs #21967]
4dc5a6b1 151
3004baba
SR
152- Handle pipe failures more gracefully. Some OSes pass a SIGPIPE
153 signal to a process and will kill the process if the signal isn't
154 caught. This patch adds code to turn off the SIGPIPE signal via
155 a setsockopt() call. The signal is already being ignored as part
156 of the ISC library. [ISC-Bugs #22269]
157
42cbff63
SR
158- Restore printing of values in omshell to the style pre 21585. For
159 21585 we changed the print routines to always display time values
39196512
SR
160 as a hex list. This had a side effect of printing all data strings
161 as a hex list. We shall investigate other ways of displaying time
162 values more usefully. [ISC-Bugs #22626]
3004baba 163
9d97e644
SR
164! Fix the handling of connection requests on the failover port.
165 Previously a connection request from a source that wasn't
166 listed as a failover peer would cause the server to become
dbaa902c
SR
167 non-responsive. Thanks to a report from Brad Bendily, brad@bendily.com.
168 [ISC-Bugs #22679]
9d97e644
SR
169 CERT: VU#159528 CVE: CVE-2010-3616
170
23d39ae2
SR
171- Don't pass the ISC_R_INPROGRESS status to the omapi signal handlers.
172 Passing it through to the handlers caused the omshell program to fail
173 to connect to the server. [ISC-Bugs #21839]
174
175- Fix the paranthesis in the code to process configuration statements
176 beginning with "auth". The previous arrangement caused
177 "auto-partner-down" to be processed incorrectly. [ISC-Bugs #21854]
178
0c9d3a81
SR
179- Limit the timeout period allowed in the dispatch code to 2^^32-1 seconds.
180 Thanks to a report from Jiri Popelka at Red Hat.
181 [ISC-Bugs #22033], [Red Hat Bug #628258]
182
e1a40211
SR
183- When processing the format flags for a given option consume the
184 flag indicating an optional value correctly. A symptom of this
185 bug was an infinite loop when trying to parse the slp-service-scope
186 option. Thanks to a patch from Marius Tomaschewski.
187 [ISC-Bugs #22055]
188
e7e17397
SR
189- Disable the use of kqueue in the ISC library. This avoids a problem
190 between the fork and socket code that caused the dhcpd process to
191 use all available cpu if the program daemonized itself.
192 [ISC-Bugs #21911]
193
c8b189f1 194! When processing a request in the DHCPv6 server code that specifies
45918d36 195 an address that is tagged as abandoned (meaning we received a
c8b189f1
SR
196 decline request for it previously) don't attempt to move it from
197 the inactive to active pool as doing so can result in the server
e8f330a1 198 crashing on an assert failure. Also retag the lease as active
c8b189f1
SR
199 and reset it's timeout value.
200 [ISC-Bugs #21921]
201
ef86959b
SR
202- Removed the restriction on using IPv6 addresses in IPv4 mode. This
203 allows IPv4 options which contain IPv6 addresses to be specified. For
204 example the 6rd option can be specified and used like this:
205 [ISC-Bugs #23039]
206
207 option 6rd code 212 = { integer 8, integer 8,
208 ip6-address, array of ip-address };
209 option 6rd 16 10 2001:: 1.2.3.4, 5.6.7.8;
210
919f1407
SR
211- Handle some DDNS corner cases better. Maintain the DDNS transaction
212 information when updating a lease and cancel any existing transactions
213 when removing the ddns information.
214 [ISC-Bugs #23103]
215
8a0d9ca4
SR
216- Some fixes for LDAP
217 [ISC-Bugs #21783] - Include lber library when building ldap
218 [ISC-Bugs #22888] - Enable the ldap code when buidling common
219 The above fixes are from Jiri Popelka at Red Hat.
220
17a8f0e2
SR
221- Modify the dlpi code to accept getmsg() returning a positive value.
222 [ISC-Bugs #22824]
223
badc999d
SR
224 Changes since 4.2.0b2
225
226- Add declaration for variable in debug code in alloc.c. [ISC-Bugs #21472]
0d8c3d6e 227
1e05d095
SR
228 Changes since 4.2.0b1
229
d122accf
SR
230- Prohibit including lease time information in a response to a DHCP INFORM.
231 [ISC-Bugs #21092]
1e05d095 232
1943bbf8
SR
233! Accept a client id of length 0 while hashing. Previously the server would
234 exit if it attempted to hash a zero length client id, providing attackers
d122accf 235 with a simple denial of service attack. [ISC-Bugs #21253]
63ff896a 236 CERT: VU#541921 - CVE: CVE-2010-2156
1943bbf8 237
8a513c43
DH
238- A memory leak in ddns processing was closed. [ISC-Bugs #21377]
239
d122accf
SR
240- Modify the exception handling for initial context creation. Previously
241 we would try and clean up before exiting. This could present problems
242 when the cleanup required part of the context that wasn't available. It
243 also didn't do much as we exited afterwards anyway. Now we simply log
244 the error and exit. [ISC-Bugs #21093]
245
0d8c3d6e
DH
246- A bug was fixed that could cause the DHCPv6 server to advertise/assign a
247 previously allocated (active) lease to a client that has changed subnets,
248 despite being on different shared networks. Dynamic prefixes specifically
249 allocated in shared networks also now are not offered if the client has
250 moved. [ISC-Bugs #21152]
251
590298e7
SR
252- Add some debugging output for use with the DDNS code. [ISC-Bugs #20916]
253
600ee619 254- Fix the trace code to handle timing events better and to truncate a file
2b58b865
SR
255 before using instead of overwriting it. [ISC-Bugs #20969]
256
257- Modify the determination of the default TTL to use for DDNS updates.
258 The user may still configure the ttl via ddns-ttl. The default for
259 both v4 and v6 is now 1/2 the (preferred) lease time with a limit. The
260 previous defaults (1/2 lease time without a limit for v4 and a default
261 value for v6) may be used by defining USE_OLD_DDNS_TTL in site.h
262 [ISC-Bugs #21126]
600ee619 263
a5c7bf77
DH
264- libisc/libdns is now brought up to version 9.7.1rc1. This corrects
265 three reported flaws in ISC DHCP;
266
267 o DHCP processes (dhcpd, dhclient) fail to start if one of either the
268 IPv4 or IPv6 address families is not present. [ISC-Bugs #21122]
269
270 o Assertion failure when attempting to cancel a previously running DDNS
271 update. [ISC-Bugs #21133]
272
273 o Compilation failure of libisc/libdns due to the use of a flexible
274 array member. [ISC-Bugs #21316]
275
0585235c
SR
276 Changes since 4.2.0a2
277
278- Update the fsync code to work with the changes to the DDNS code. It now
279 uses a timer instead of noticing if there are no more packets to process.
280
f4bc8261
SR
281- When constructing the DNS name structure from a text string append
282 the root to relative names. This satisfies a requirement in the DNS
283 library that names be absolute instead of relative and prevents DHCP
d122accf 284 from crashing. [ISC-Bugs #21054]
f4bc8261 285
33692791
DH
286- "The LDAP Patch" that has been circulating for some time, written by
287 Brian Masney and S.Kalyanasundraram and maintained for application to
288 the DHCP-4 sources by David Cantrell has been included. Please be
289 advised that these sources were contributed, and do not yet meet the
290 high standards we place on production sources we include by default.
291 As a result, the LDAP features are only included by using a compile-time
292 option which defaults off, and if you enable it you do so under your
293 own recognizance. We will be improving this software over time.
294 [ISC-Bugs #17741]
295
3c941d42 296 Changes since 4.2.0a1
928618dd
DH
297
298- When using 'ignore client-updates;', the FQDN returned to the client
299 is no longer truncated to one octet.
300
3c941d42
DH
301- Cleaned up an unused hardware address variable in nak_lease().
302
bdd8e747
DH
303- Manpage entries for the ia-pd and ia-prefix options were updated to
304 reflect support for prefix delegation.
305
3da71461
SR
306- Cleaned up some compiler warnings
307
fdfebedf
DH
308- An optimization described in the failover protocol draft is now included,
309 which permits a DHCP server operating in communications-interrupted state
310 to 'rewind' a lease to the state most recently transmitted to its peer,
311 greatly increasing a server's endurance in communications-interrupted.
312 This is supported using a new 'rewind state' record on the dhcpd.leases
313 entry for each lease.
314
7aa153b8
SR
315- Fix the trace code which was broken by the changes to the DDNS code.
316
adbef119
DH
317 Changes since 4.1.0 (new features)
318
d340bc24
DH
319- Failover port configuration can now be left to defaults (port 647) as
320 described in the -12 revision of the Failover draft (and assigned by
4b97eaff 321 IANA). Thanks in part to a patch from David Cantrell at Red Hat.
adbef119 322
0829d595
DH
323- If configured, dhclient may now transmit to an anycast MAC address,
324 rather than using a broadcast address. Thanks to a patch from David
325 Cantrell at Red Hat.
326
8a3c1e33
PS
327- Added client support for setting interface MTU and metric, thanks to
328 Roy "UberLord" Marples <roy@marples.name>.
329
a41d7a25
PS
330- Added client -D option to specify DUID type to send.
331
9e3eb22a
DH
332- A new failover configuration parameter has been introduced for those
333 environments where DHCP servers can be reasonably guaranteed to be
334 "down" when the failover TCP socket is severed, "auto-partner-down".
335 This parameter is not generally safe, and by default is disabled, so
336 please carefully review the documentation of this parameter in the
337 dhcpd.conf(5) manpage before determining to use it yourself.
338
33ea4622
DH
339- Added a configuration function, 'gethostname()', which calls the system
340 function of the same name and presents the results as a data expression.
341 This function can be used to incorporate the system level hostname of
342 the system the DHCP software is operating on in responses or queries (such
343 as including a failover partner's hostname in a dhcp message or binding
344 scope, or having a DHCP client send any system hostname in the host-name or
345 FQDN options by default).
346
5a671e87
DH
347- The dhcp-renewal-time and dhcp-rebinding-time options may now be configured
348 for DHCPv4 operation and used independently of the dhcp-lease-time
349 calculations. Invalid renew and rebinding times (e.g., greater than the
350 determined lease time) are omitted.
351
98bf1607
SR
352- Processing the DHCP to DNS server transactions in an asyncrhonous fashion.
353 The DHCP server or client can now continue with it's processing while
354 awaiting replies from the DNS server.
c900c5b2
DH
355
356- The 'hardware [ethernet|etc] ...;' parameter in host records has been
357 extended to attempt to match DHCPv6 clients by the last octets of a
358 DUID-LL or DUID-LLT provided by the client.
359
59112e84
SR
360 Changes since 4.1.0 (bug fixes)
361
62f6843d
MA
362- Remove infinite loop in token_print_indent_concat().
363
59112e84
SR
364- Validate the argument to the -p option.
365
47e6eb82
DH
366- The notorious 'option <unknown> ... larger than buffer' log line,
367 which is seen in some malformed DHCP client packets, was modified.
368 It now logs the universe name, and does not log the length values
369 (which are bogus corruption read from the packet anyway). It also
370 carries a hopefully more useful explanation.
371
159c89d7
EH
372- Suppress spurious warnings from configure about --datarootdir
373
1aa0fe5e
DH
374- A bug was fixed that caused the server not to answer some valid Solicit
375 and Request packets, if the dynamic range covering any requested addresses
376 had been deleted from configuration.
377
cd51403d
SR
378- Update the code to deal with GCC 4.3. This included two sets of changes.
379 The first is to the configuration files to include the use of
571c38b0 380 AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS. The second is to deal with return values that
cd51403d
SR
381 were being ignored.
382
64e1823d
DH
383- The db-time-format option was documented in manpages.
384
26e59ee9
DH
385- Using reserved leases no longer results in 'lease with binding state
386 free not on its queue' error messages, thanks to a patch from Frode
387 Nordahl.
388
70ea9345
PS
389- Fix a build error in dhcrelay, using older versions of gcc with
390 dhcpv6 disabled.
391
8d7dca58 392- Two uninitialized stack structures are now memset to zero, thanks to a
4b97eaff 393 patch from David Cantrell at Red Hat.
819186b7 394
f4534b17
DH
395- Fixed a cosmetic bug where pretty-printing valid domain-search options would
396 result in an erroneous error log message ('garbage in format string').
397
f9453d21
DH
398- A bug in DLPI packet transmission (Solaris, HP/UX) that caused the server
399 to stop receiving packets is fixed. The same fix also means that the MAC
400 address will no longer appear 'bogus' on DLPI-based systems.
401
402- A bug in select handling was discovered where the results of one select()
403 call were discarded, causing the server to process the next select() call

408- The update-conflict-detection feature would leave an FQDN updated without
409 a DHCID (still currently implemented as a TXT RR). This would cause later
410 expiration or release events to fail to remove the domain name. The feature
411 now also inserts the client's up to date DHCID record, so records may safely
412 be removed at expiration or release time. Thanks to a patch submitted by
413 Christof Chen.

465- Secondary servers in a failover pair will now perform ddns removals if
466 they had performed ddns updates on a lease that is expiring, or was
467 released through the primary. As part of the same fix, stale binding scopes
468 will now be removed if a change in identity of a lease's active client is

470 may have expired without a failover server noticing in some situations).

608- A bug in subnet6 parsing where options contained in subnet6 clauses would
609 not be applied to clients addressed within that network was repaired.
610
611- When configuring a "subnet {}" or "subnet6 {}" without an explicit
612 shared-network enclosing it, the DHCP software would synthesize a
613 shared-network to contain the subnet. However, all configuration
614 parameters within the subnet more intuitively belong "to any client
615 on that interface", or rather the synthesized shared-network. So,
616 when a shared-network is synthesized, it is used to contain the
617 configuration present inside the subnet {} clause. This means that
618 the configuration will be valid for all clients on that network, not
619 just those addressed out of the stated subnet. If you intended the
620 opposite, the workaround is to explicitly configure an empty
621 shared-network.
622
623- A bug was fixed where Information-Request processing was not sourcing
624 configured option values.

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

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

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

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

785 a requested address.
786

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

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

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

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

763cba6b 868
884a458f
SK
869- The DHCP server no longer requires a "ddns-update-style" statement,
870 and now defaults to "none", which means DNS updates are disabled.

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

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

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

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

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

923 would segfault if a client attempted to renew a lease that had been
924 loaded from persistent storage.
925
45d545f0 926- 'request' and 'also request' syntaxes have been added to accommodate

927 the DHCPv6 client configuration. 'send dhcp6.oro' is no longer
928 necessary.

4ba58919
DH
997- DHCPv4 I/O methods that failed to sense hardware address were corrected.
998
999- DHCPv4 is now the default (as documented) rather than DHCPv6. The default
1000 was set to DHCPv6 to facilitate ease early development, and forgotten.
1001
1002- Corrected a segmentation violation in DHCPv4 socket processing.
1003
8ea19a71 1004- dhclient will now fork() into the background once it binds to an
45d545f0 1005 IPv6 address, or immediately if the -n flag is supplied.
8ea19a71
DH
1006

1015
98bd7ca0
DH
1016 Changes since 3.1.0 (NEW FEATURES)
1017
1018- DHCPv6 Client and Server protocol support. Use '-6' to run the daemons
1019 as v6-only. Use '-4' to run the daemons as v4-only (default. There is
1020 no support currently for both.
1021
1022- Server support for multiple IA_NA options, containing at most one
1023 IAADDR option.
1024
1025- Client support for one IA_NA option, containing any number of IAADDR
1026 options.
1027
1028- Server support for the DHCPv6 Information-request message.
1029
1030- Inappropriate unicast DHCPv6 messages sent to the server are now
1031 discarded, and this has rearchitected the IO system slightly.
1032
1033- The DHCPv6 server DUID defaults to type 1, is persistently stored in
1034 the leases database, and can be over-ridden (either completely, or by
1035 specifying type 1 or type 2).
1036
1037- The server only uses Rapid-Commit if it has been configured with the
1038 Rapid-Commit option and the client requests it.
1039
1040- DDNS support. We now update AAAA records in the same place we would
1041 update A records, if we have an IPv6 address. We also generate IP6.ARPA
1042 style names for PTR records if we're dealing with an IPv6 address. Both
1043 A and AAAA updates are done using the same 'fqdn.' virtual option space
1044 (although the DHCPv4 FQDN and DHCPv6 FQDN options are formatted
1045 differently, they both use the same code here).
1046
1047- The Linux dhclient-script attempts to set and remove assigned addresses,
1048 and to configure /etc/resolv.conf from nameserver and domain name
1049 configurations. It can be extended to configure other parameters.
1050
1051- Initial DHCPv6 lease support.
1052
1053- The IO system now tracks all local IP addresses, so that the DHCP
1054 applications (particularly the dhcrelay) can discern between what frames
1055 were transmitted to it, and what frames are being carried through it which
1056 it should not intercept.
1057
1418fd11
DH
1058 Changes since 3.1.0 (Maintenance)
1059
1060- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for virgin leases always
1061 mapped to the primary. Virgin leases now have an interleaved preference
1062 between primary and secondary.
1063
1064- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for clients with no client
1065 identifier was sometimes mishashed to the peer. Load balancing during
1066 runtime and pool rebalancing were opposing.
1067
aa3e348e
DH
1068- An assertion in lease counting relating to reserved leases was repaired.
1069
e9c59645
DH
1070- The subnet-mask option inclusion now conforms with RFC2132 section 3.3;
1071 it will only appear prior to the routers option if it is present on the
1072 Parameter-Request-List. The subnet-mask option will also only be
1073 included by default (if it is not on the PRL) in response to DISCOVER
1074 or REQUEST messages.
1075
1076- The FQDN option is only supplied if the client supplied an FQDN option or
1077 if the FQDN option was explicitly requested on the PRL.
1078
c104546d
DH
1079- Dynamic BOOTP leases are now load balanced in failover.

1084 failover protected subnets was removed.
1085
a512cc3a
DH
1086 Changes since 3.1.0b2
1087
1088- Failover rebalance events no longer play ping pong with round errors
1089 (moving leases between free and back to backup where there are an
1090 odd number of leases).
1091
1092- The 'pool' log line has been split into two messages, one before the
1093 rebalance run, and one after.
1094
1095- Any queued BNDACKs are transmitted before transmitting new BNDUPDs.
1096 This enforces the correct sequence of events for the remote server
1097 processing these messages.
1098
fe5b0fdd 1099 Changes since 3.1.0b1

1101- Fixed a bug that caused OMAPI clients to freeze when opening lease
1102 objects.
1103
1ba87b37
EH
1104- A new server config option "fqdn-reply" specifies whether the server
1105 should send out option 81 (FQDN). Defaults to "on". If set to "off",
1106 the FQDN option is not sent, even if the client requested it. This is
1107 needed because some clients misbehave otherwise. Thanks to Christof Chen
1108 at Allianz.
1109
a58da042
EH
1110- Allow trace output files (-tf option) to be overwritten, rather than
1111 crashing dhcpd if the file already exists
1112
61252edf
EH
1113- A bug was fixed that caused dhcpd to segfault if a pool was declared
1114 outside the scope of a subnet in dhcpd.conf.
1115
27837f95
DH
1116- Some uninitialized values were repaired in dhcpleasequery.c that
1117 caused the server to abort.
1118
4d2eaafb
DH
1119- A new server config option, 'do-reverse-updates', has been added
1120 which causes the server to abstain from performing updates on PTR
1121 records. Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen at Allianz.
1122
06211b40
DH
1123- A bug was repaired in subencapsulation support, where spaces separated
1124 by empty spaces would not get included.
1125
d6614ea2
DH
1126- A bug in dhclient was repaired which caused it to send parameter request
1127 lists of 55 bytes in length no matter how long the declared PRL was.
1128
132d38f2
DH
1129- 'dhcp.c(3953): non-null pointer' has been repaired. This fixes a flaw
1130 wherein the DHCPv4 server may ignore a configured server-identifier.
1131
fc3b9c90
DH
1132- A flaw in failover startup sequences was repaired that sometimes left
1133 the primary DHCP server's pool rebalance schedules unscheduled.
1134
c9feb859
DH
1135- Corrected a flaw that broke encapsulated spaces included due to presence
1136 on the parameter request list.

DH
1150 Changes since 3.1.0a1
1151

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

1286- A new common configuration executable statement, execute(), has been
1287 added. This permits dhcpd or dhclient to execute a named external

1292- A new dhcp server option 'adaptive-lease-time-threshold' has been added
1293 which causes the server to substantially reduce lease-times if there are
1294 few (configured percentage) remaining leases. Thanks to a patch submitted
1295 from Christof Chen.

1307- Assorted fixes for broken network devices: Packet length is now
1308 determined from the IP header length field to finally calculate the
1309 UDP payload length, because some NIC drivers return more data than
5a22eb63 1310 they actually received.

1324- In the case where an "L2" DHCP Relay Agent (one that does not set giaddr)
1325 was directly attached to the same broadcast domain as the DHCP server,
1326 the RFC3046 relay agent information option was not being returned to the
1327 relay in the server's replies. This was fixed; the dhcp server no longer
1328 requires the giaddr to reply with relay agent information. Note that
1329 this also improves compatibility with L2 devices that "intercept" DHCP
1330 packets and expect relay agent information even in unicast (renewal)

1351- Some bugs were fixed in the 'emergency relay agent options hologram'
1352 which is used to retain relay agent option contents from when the

1360- The server's "by client-id" and "by hardware address" hash table lists
1361 are now sorted according to the preference to re-allocate that lease to
1362 returning clients. This should eliminate pool starvation problems
1363 arising when "INIT" clients were given new leases rather than presently

1369 dhclient-script with the 'EXPIRE' state should it receive a NAK in

1383 was raised from 0 to 300. 0 is not thought to be sensible, and is
1384 known to be damaging.
1385

1387 state count calculations (free/active counts used for failover pool
1388 balancing).

1403 state (and consequently, had an active, 'bound' address and related
1404 configuration options), it would fail to 'tear down' this information
1405 before proceeding into INIT state. dhclient now iterates the dhclient-

1d3bfb17 1407 INIT state. Thanks to a patch from Chris Zimmerman.

DH
1427- Host declaration hardware addresses and client identifiers may only be

1436 memory hash tables. In order to support options of these names that
1437 may appear in dhclient.leases or similar in previous versions, the
1438 parser will now find the new option code definition, or mock up a
1439 generic option code definition. This should result in a smooth
1440 transition from one name to the other, as the new name is used to
1441 write new output.

45d545f0 1455- Null-termination sensing for certain clients that unfortunately require
88cd8aca
DH
1456 it in DHCPINFORM processing was repaired.
1457
1458- The host-name option and a few others were moved from "X" format to "t"
1459 format to be compatible with new NULL handling functions.
1460
1461- DHCPINFORM processing is a little more careful about return addressing
1462 its responses, or if responding via a relay. The INFORM related
1463 messages also log the 'effective client ip address' rather than the
1464 client's supplied ciaddr (since some clients produce null ciaddrs).
1465
1466- The server was inappropriately sending leases to the RESET state in the
1467 event that multiple active leases were found to match a singly-identified
1468 client. This was changed to RELEASED (by accepting a different, ACTIVE
1469 binding, the client is implicitly releasing its lease). This repairs a
1470 bug wherein secondary servers in failover pairs detecting this condition
1471 move leases to RESET, and primaries refuse to accept that state
1472 transition (properly).
1473
1474- The memset-after-dmalloc() changes made in 3.0.4b1 have been backed out.
1475
1476 Changes since 3.0.4b1
1477
1478- Command line parsing in omshell was repaired - it no longer closes
1479 STDIN after reading one line.
1480
1481- The resolver library no longer closes the /etc/resolv.conf file
1482 descriptor it opened twice.
1483
1484- Changes to trailing NULL removal in 't' option-atoms has been rethought,
1485 it now includes 'd' (domain name) types, and tries hard not to rewind an
1486 option beyond the start of the text field it is un-terminating.
1487
1488 Changes since 3.0.3
1489
1490- A DDNS update handling function was misusing the DNS error codes, rather
1491 than the internal generic result enumeration. The result is a confusing
1492 syslog line, logging the wrong condition.
1493
1494- The DHCP Server was not checking pool balance in the case where it brought
1495 a non-ACTIVE lease out of storage for a client that was returning to use
1496 a lease it once had long ago, and had since expired.
1497
1498- Failover peers no longer bother to look for free leases to allocate when
1499 they already found the client's ACTIVE lease. DISCOVERs are load balanced
98bd7ca0 1500 whether freely-allocated or not, unless the server doubts the peer has
88cd8aca
DH
1501 leases to allocate.
1502
1503- Fixed a bug in dhcrelay agent addition code that suppressed trailing
45d545f0 1504 PAD options - it was suppressing only one trailing PAD option, rather
88cd8aca
DH
1505 than the entire block of them.
1506
3a16098f
DH
1507! Fixed some unlikely overlapping-region memcpy() bugs in dhcrelay agent
1508 option addition and stripping code. Added a few sanity checks. Although
1509 highly improbable, due to requiring the reception of a DHCP datagram well
1510 in excess of all known to be used physical MTU limitations, it is possible
1511 this may have been used in a stack overflow security vulnerability. Thanks
1512 to a patch from infamous42md.
1513
1514! Added some sanity checks to OMAPI connection/authentication code.
1515 Although highly improbable, due to having to deliver in excess of 2^32
1516 bytes of data via the OMAPI channel, not to mention requiring dhcpd to
1517 be able to malloc() a memory region 2^32 bytes in size, it was possible
1518 this might have resulted in a heap overflow security vulnerability.
1519 Thanks to a patch from infamous42md.

1520
1521- dmalloc() memset()'s the non-debug (data) portion of the allocated
1522 memory to zero. Code that memset()'s the result returned by dmalloc() to
1523 zero is redundant. These redundancies were removed.
1524
1525- Some type declaration corrections to u_int16_t were made in common/tr.c
4b97eaff 1526 (Token Ring support) thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.

1527
1528- A failover bug that was allowing leases that EXPIRED or were RELEASED
1529 where tsfp and tstp are identical timestamps to languish in these
1530 transitional states has been repaired. As a side effect, lease
1531 databases should be kept more consistent overall, not just for these
1532 transitional states.
1533
1534- If the lease db is deleted out from under the daemon, and it moves to rewrite
1535 the db, it will go ahead with the operation and move the new db into place
1536 once it detects the old db does not exist.
1537
1538- dhclient now ignores IRDA, SIT, and IEEE1394 network interfaces, as it
1539 is either nonsensical or (in the case of IEEE1394) is not known to support
1540 these interfaces. Thanks to Marius Gedminas and Andrew Pollock of Debian.
1541
1542- Some previously undocumented reasons for dhclient-script invoking has
45d545f0 1543 been documented in the dhclient-script.8 manpage.

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

1587
1588- File handlers on configuration state (config files and lease dbs) should
98bd7ca0 1589 be treated consistently, regardless of whether TRACING is defined or not.
88cd8aca 1590
45d545f0 1591- The Linux build environment has had some minor improvements - better
88cd8aca
DH
1592 sensing of 64-bit pointer sizes (only used for establishing an icmp_id),
1593 and corrections to #if operators regarding LINUX_MAJOR should it ever
1594 move to 3.[01].x.
1595
1596- The server now tries harder to survive the condition where it is unable
1597 to open a new lease file to rewrite the lease state database.

1601- dhclient.conf documentation for interface {} was updated to reflect recent
1602 discussion on the dhcp-hackers mailing list.
1603
1604- In response to reports that the software does not compile on GCC 4.0.0,
1605 -Werror was removed from Makefile.conf for all platforms that used it.
1606 We will address the true problem in a future release; this is a temporary
1607 workaround.
1608
1609 Changes since 3.0.3b2

1611- An error in code changes introduced in 3.0.3b2 was corrected, which caused
1612 static BOOTP clients to receive random addresses.
1613
1614 Changes since 3.0.3b1
1615
1616- A bug was fixed in BOOTPREQUEST handling code wherein stale references to
1617 host records would be left behind on leases that were not allocated to the
1618 client currently booting (eg in the case where the host was denied booting).
1619
1620- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated to be more clear in regards to
1621 multiple host declarations (thanks to Vincent McIntyre). 'Interim' style
1622 dynamic updates were also retouched.

1624 Changes since 3.0.2
1625

45d545f0 1627 peer after already choosing not to load balance the preceding DISCOVER.
98311e4b
DH
1628 The peer cannot allocate the originating server's lease.
1629
1630- In the case where a secondary server lost its stable storage while the
1631 primary was still in communications-interrupted, and came back online,
1632 the lease databases would not be fully transferred to the secondary.
1633 This was due to the secondary errantly sending an extra UPDREQ message
1634 when the primary made its state transition to PARTNER-DOWN known.
1635
1636- The package will now compile cleanly in gcc 3.3 and 3.4. As a side effect,
1637 lease structures will be 9 bytes smaller on all platforms. Thanks to
4b97eaff 1638 Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
1639
1640- Interface discovery code in DISCOVER_UNCONFIGURED mode is now
1641 properly restricted to only detecting broadcast interfaces. Thanks
4b97eaff 1642 to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
1643
1644- decode_udp_ip_header was changed so that the IP address was copied out
1645 to a variable, rather than referenced by a pointer. This enforces 4-byte
1646 alignment of the 32-bit IP address value. Thanks to a patch from Dr.
1647 Peter Poeml.
1648
1649- An incorrect log message was corrected thanks to a patch from
1650 Dr. Peter Poeml.
1651
1652- A bug in DDNS was repaired, where if the server's first DDNS action was
1653 a DDNS removal rather than a DDNS update, the resolver library's
1654 retransmit timer and retry timer was set to the default, implying a
1655 15 second timeout interval. Which is a little excessive in a synchronous,
1656 single-threaded system. In all cases, ISC DHCP should now hold fast to
1657 a 1-second timeout, trying only once.
1658
1659- The siaddr field was being improperly set to the server-identifier when
1660 responding to DHCP messages. RFC2131 clarified the siaddr field as
1661 meaning the 'next server in the bootstrap process', eg a tftp server.
1662 The siaddr field is now left zeroed unless next-server is configured.
1663
1664- mockup_lease() could have returned in an error condition (or in the
1665 condition where no fixed-address was found matching the shared
1666 network) with stale references to a host record. This is probably not
1667 a memory leak since host records generally never die anyway.
1668
1669- A bug was repaired where failover servers would let stale client identifiers
1670 persist on leases that were reallocated to new clients not sending an id.
1671
1672- Binding scopes ("set var = value;") are now removed from leases allocated
1673 by failover peers if the lease had expired. This should help reduce the
1674 number of stale binding scopes on leases.
1675
1676- A small memory leak was closed involving client identifiers larger than
1677 7 bytes, and failover.
1678
1679- Configuring a subnet in dhcpd.conf with a subnet mask of 32 bits might
1680 cause an internal function to overflow heap. Thanks to Jason Vas Dias
4b97eaff 1681 at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
1682
1683- Some inconsistencies in treating numbers that the lexer parsed as 'NUMBER'
1684 or 'NUMBER_OR_NAME' was repaired. Hexadecimal parsing is affected, and
1685 should work better.
1686
1687- In several cases, parse warnings were being issued before the lexical
1688 token had been advanced to the token whose value was causing an error...
1689 causing parse warnings to claim the problem is on the wrong token.
1690
1691- Host declarations matching on client identifier for dynamic leases will
1692 no longer match fixed-address host declarations (this is now identical
1693 to behaviour for host records matching on hardware address).
1694
1695 Changes since 3.0.2rc3
1696
1697- A previously undocumented configuration directive, 'local-address',
1698 was documented in the dhcpd.conf manpage.
1699
1700 Changes since 3.0.2rc2
1701
45d545f0 1702- Two variables introduced in 3.0.2b1 were used without being initialized
98311e4b
DH
1703 in the case where neither the FILE nor SNAME fields were available for
1704 overloading. This was repaired.
1705
1706- A heretofore believed to be impossible corner case of the option
1707 overloading implementation turned out to be possible ("Unable to sort
1708 overloaded options after 10 tries."). The implementation was reworked
1709 to consider the case of an option so large it would require more than
1710 three chunks to fit.
1711
1712- Many other instances of variables being used without being initialized
1713 were repaired.
1714
1715- An uninitialized variable in omapi_io_destroy() led to the discovery
1716 that this function may result in orphaned pointers (and hence, a memory
1717 leak).
1718
1719 Changes since 3.0.2rc1
1720
1721- allocate_lease() was rewritten to repair a bug in which the server would
1722 try to allocate an ABANDONED lease when FREE leases were available.

1725
1726- Some dhcp-eval.5 manpage formatting was repaired.
1727
1728 Changes since 3.0.1
1729
1730- A bug was fixed in the server's 'option overloading' implementation,
1731 where options loaded into the 'file' and 'sname' packet fields were
1732 not aligned precisely as rfc2131 dictates.
1733
1734- The FreeBSD client script was changed to support the case where a domain
1735 name was not provided by the server.
1736
1737- A memory leak in 'omshell' per each command line parsed was
1738 repaired, thanks to a patch from Jarkko Torppa.
1739
1740- Log functions writing to stderr were adjusted to use the STDERR_FILENO
1741 system definition rather than '2'. This is a no-op for 90% of platforms.
1742
1743- One call to trace_write_packet_iov() counted the number of io vectors
1744 incorrectly, causing inconsistent tracefiles. This was fixed.
1745
1746- Some expression parse failure memory leaks were closed.
1747
1748- A host byte order problem in tracefiles was repaired.
1749
1750- Pools configured in DHCPD for failover possessing permission lists that
1751 previously were assumed to not include dyanmic bootp clients are now
1752 a little more pessimistic. The result is, dhcpd will nag you about just
1753 about most pools that possess a 'allow' statement with no 'deny' that
1754 would definitely match a dynamic bootp client.
1755
1756- The 'ddns-update-style' configuration warning bit now insists that
1757 the configuration be globally scoped.
1758
1759- Two memory leaks in dhclient were closed thanks to a patch from Felix
1760 Farkas.
1761
1762- Some minor but excellently pedantic documentation errors were fixed
1763 thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
1764
1765- Bugs in operator precedence in executable statements have been repaired
1766 once again. More legal syntaxes should be parsed legally.
1767
1768- Failing to initialize a tracefile for any reason if a tracefile was
1769 specified is now a fatal error. Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
1770
1771- Corrected a bug in which the number of leases transferred as calculated
1772 by the failover primary and sent to peers in POOLRESP responses may be
1773 incorrect. This value is not believed to be used by other failover
1774 implementations, excepting perhaps as logged information.
1775
1776- Corrected a bug in which 'dhcp_failover_send_poolresp()' was in fact
1777 sending POOLREQ messages instead of POOLRESP mesasges. This message
1778 was essentially ignored since failover secondaries effectively do not
1779 respond to POOLREQ messages.
1780
1781- Type definitions for various bitwidths of integers in the sunos5-5
1782 build of ISC DHCP have been fixed. It should compile and run more
1783 easily when built in 64-bit for this platform.
1784
1785- "allow known-clients;" is now a legal syntax, to avoid confusion.
1786
1787- If one dhcp server chooses to 'load balance' a request to its failover
1788 peer, it first checks to see if it believes said peer has a free
1789 lease to allocate before ignoring the DISCOVER.
1790
1791- log() was logging a work buffer, rather than the value returned by
1792 executing the statements configured by the user. In some cases,
1793 the work buffer and the intended results were the same. In some other
1794 cases, they were not. This was fixed thanks to a patch from Gunnar
1795 Fjone and directconnect.no.
1796
1797- Compiler warnings for some string type conversions was fixed, thanks
1798 to Andreas Gustafsson.
1799
1800- The netbsd build environments were simplified to one, in which
1801 -Wconversion is not used, thanks to Andreas Gustafsson.
1802
1803- How randomness in the backoff-cutoff dhclient configuration variable
1804 is implemented was better documented in the manpage, and the behaviour
1805 of dhclient in REQUEST timeout handling was changed to match that of
1806 DISCOVER timeout handling.
1807
1808- Omapi was hardened against clients that pass in null values, thanks
1809 to a patch from Mark Jason Dominus.
1810
1811- A bug was fixed in dhclient that kept it from doing client-side
1812 ddns updates. Thanks to a patch from Andreas Gustafsson, which
1813 underwent some modification after review by Jason Vas Dias.
1814
1815- Failover implementations disconnected due to the network between
1816 them (rather than one of the two shutting down) will now try to
1817 re-establish the failover connection every 5 seconds, rather than
1818 to simply try once and give up until one of them is restarted.
1819 Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from Infoblox, and field testing
1820 by Greger V. Teigre which led to an enhancement to it.
1821
1822- A problem that kept DHCP Failover secondaries from tearing down
1823 ddns records was repaired. Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from
1824 Infoblox.
1825
1826- 64bit pointer sizes are detected properly on FreeBSD now.
1827
1828- A bug was repaired where the DHCP server would leave stale references
1829 to host records on leases it once thought about offering to certain
1830 clients. The result would be to apply host and 'known' scopes to the
1831 wrong clients (possibly denying booting). NOTE: The 'mis-host' patch
1832 that was being circulated as a workaround is not the way this bug was
1833 fixed. If you were a victim of this bug in 3.0.1, you are cautioned
1834 to proceed carefully and see if it fixes your problem.
1835
1836- A bug was repaired in the server's DHCPINFORM handling, where it
1837 tried to divine the client's address from the source packet and
1838 would get it wrong. Thanks to Anshuman Singh Rawat.
1839
1840- A log message was introduced to help illuminate the case where the
1841 server was unable to find a lease to assign to any BOOTP client.
1842 Thanks to Daniel Baker.
1843
1844- A minor dhcpd.conf.5 manpage error was fixed.
1845
1846 Changes since 3.0.1rc14
1847
1848- The global variable 'cur_time' was centralized and is now uniformly of a
1849 type #defined in system-dependent headers. It had previously been defined
1850 in one of many places as a 32-bit value, and this causes mayhem on 64-bit
1851 big endian systems. It probably wasn't too healthy on little endian
1852 systems either.
1853
1854- A printf format string error introduced in rc14 was repaired.
1855
1856- AIX system-dependent header file was altered to only define NO_SNPRINTF
1857 if the condition used to #ifdef in vsnprintf in AIX' header files
1858 is false.
1859
1860- The Alpha/OSF system-dependent header file was altered to define
1861 NO_SNPRINTF on OS revisions older than 4.0G.
1862
1863- omapip/test.c had string.h added to its includes.
1864
1865 Changes since 3.0.1rc13
1866
1867! CAN-2004-0460 - CERT VU#317350: Five stack overflow exploits were closed
1868 in logging messages with excessively long hostnames provided by the
1869 clients. It is highly probable that these could have been used by
1870 attackers to gain arbitrary root access on systems using ISC DHCP 3.0.1
1871 release candidates 12 or 13. Special thanks to Gregory Duchemin for
1872 both finding and solving the problem.
1873
1874! CAN-2004-0461 - CERT VU#654390: Once the above was closed, an opening
45d545f0 1875 in log_*() functions was evidenced, on some specific platforms where
98311e4b
DH
1876 vsnprintf() was not believed to be available and calls were wrapped to
1877 sprintf() instead. Again, credit goes to Gregory Duchemin for finding
1878 the problem. Calls to snprintf() are now linked to a distribution-local
1879 snprintf implementation, only in those cases where the architecture is
1880 not known to provide one (see includes/cf/[arch].h). If you experience
1881 linking problems with snprintf/vsnprintf or 'isc_print_' functions, this
1882 is where to look. This vulnerability did not exist in any previously
1883 published version of ISC DHCP.
1884
1885- Compilation on hpux 11.11 was repaired.
1886
1887- 'The cross-compile bug fix' was backed out.
1888
1889 Changes since 3.0.1rc12
1890
1891- Fixed a bug in omapi lease lookup function, to form the hardware
1892 address for the hash lookup correctly, thanks to a patch from
1893 Richard Hirst.
1894
1895- Fixed a bug where dhcrelay was sending relayed responses back to the
1896 broadcast address, but with the source's unicast mac address. Should
1897 now conform to rfc2131 section 4.1.
1898
1899- Cross-compile bug fix; use $(AR) instead of ar. Thanks to Morten Brorup.
1900
1901- Fixed a crash bug in dhclient where dhcpd servers that do not provide
1902 renewal times results in an FPE. As a side effect, dhclient can now
1903 properly handle 0xFFFFFFFF (-1) expiry times supplied by servers. Thanks
1904 to a patch from Burt Silverman.
1905
1906- The 'ping timeout' debugs from rc12 were removed to -DDEBUG only,
45d545f0 1907 and reformatted to correct a compilation error on Solaris platforms.
98311e4b
DH
1908
1909- A patch was applied which fixes a case where leases read from the
1910 leases database do not properly over-ride previously read leases.
1911
1912- dhcpctl.3 manpage was tweaked.
1913
1914 Changes since 3.0.1rc11
1915
1916- A patch from Steve Campbell was applied with minor modifications to
1917 permit reverse dns PTR record updates with values containing spaces.
1918
1919- A patch from Florian Lohoff was applied with some modifications to
1920 dhcrelay. It now discards packets whose hop count exceeds 10 by default,
1921 and a command-line option (-c) can be used to set this threshold.
1922
1923- A failover bug relating to identifying peers by name length instead of
1924 by name was fixed.
1925
45d545f0 1926- Declaring failover configs within shared-network statements should no
98311e4b
DH
1927 longer result in error.
1928
1929- The -nw command line option to dhclient now works.
1930
1931- Thanks to a patch from Michael Richardson:
1932 - Some problems with long option processing have been fixed.
1933 - Some fixes to minires so that updates of KEY records will work.
1934
1935- contrib/ms2isc was updated by Shu-Min Chang of the Intel Corporation.
1936 see contrib/ms2isc/readme.txt for revision notes.
1937
1938- Dhclient no longer uses shell commands to kill another instance of
1939 itself, it sends the signal directly. Thanks to a patch from Martin
1940 Blapp.
1941
1942- The FreeBSD dhclient-script was changed so that a failure to write to
1943 /etc/resolv.conf does not prematurely end the script. This keeps dhclient
1944 from looping infinitely when this is the case. Thanks to a patch from
1945 Martin Blapp.
1946
1947- A patch from Bill Stephens was applied which resolves a problem with lease
1948 expiry times in failover configurations.
1949
1950- A memory leak in configuration parsing was closed thanks to a patch from
1951 Steve G.
1952
1953- The function which discovers interfaces will now skip non-broadcast or
1954 point-to-point interfaces, thanks to a patch from David Brownlee.
1955
1956- Options not yet known by the dhcpd or dhclient have had their names
1957 changed such that they do not contain # symbols, in case they should ever
1958 appear in a lease file. An option that might have been named "#144" is
1959 now "unknown-144".
1960
1961- Another patch from Bill Stephens which allows the ping-check timeout to
1962 be configured as 'ping-timeout'. Defaults to 1.
1963
1964 Changes since 3.0.1rc10
1965
1966- Potential buffer overflows in minires repaired.
1967
1968- A change to the linux client script to use /bin/bash, since /bin/sh may
1969 not be bash.
1970
1971- Some missing va_end cleanups thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
1972
1973- A correction of boolean parsing syntax validation - some illegal syntaxes
1974 that worked before are now detected and produce errs, some legal syntaxes
1975 that errored before will now work properly.
1976
1977- Some search-and-replace errors that caused some options to change their
1978 names was repaired.
1979
1980- Shu-min Chang of the Intel corporation has contributed a perl script and
1981 module that converts the MS NT4 DHCP configuration to a ISC DHCP3
1982 configuration file.
1983
1984- Applied the remainder of the dhcpctl memory leak patch provided by Bill
1985 Squier at ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
1986
1987- Missing non-optional failover peer configurations will now result in a soft
1988 error rather than a null dereference.
1989
1990 Changes since 3.0.1rc9
1991
1992- A format string was corrected to fix compiler warnings.
1993
1994- A number of spelling corrections were made in the man pages.
1995
1996- The dhclient.conf.5 man page was changed to refer to do-forward-updates
1997 rather than a configuration option that doesn't exist.
1998
1999- A FreeBSD-specific bug in the interface removal handling was fixed.
2000
2001- A Linux-specific Token Ring detection problem was fixed.
2002
2003- Hashes removed from as-yet-unknown agent options, having those options
2004 appear in reality before we know about them will no longer produce
2005 self-corrupting lease databases.
2006
2007- dhclient will use the proper port numbers now when using the -g option.
2008
2009- A order-of-operations bug with 2 match clauses in 1 class statement is
2010 fixed thanks to a patch from Andrew Matheson.
2011
2012- Compilation problems on Solaris were fixed.
2013
2014- Compilation problems when built with DEBUG or DEBUG_PACKET were repaired.
2015
2016- A fix to the dhcp ack process which makes certain group options will be
2017 included in the first DHCPOFFER message was made thanks to a patch from
2018 Ling Gou.
2019
2020- A few memory leaks were repaired thanks to patches from Bill Squier at
2021 ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
2022
2023- A fix for shared-networks that sometimes give clients options for the
2024 wrong subnets (in particular, 'option routers') was applied, thanks to
2025 Ted Lemon for the patch.
2026
2027- Omshell's handling of dotted octets as values was changed such that dots
2028 one after the other produce zero values in the integer string.
2029
2030 Changes since 3.0.1rc8
2031
2032- Fix a format string vulnerability in the server that could lead to a
2033 remote root compromise (discovered by NGSEC Research Team, www.ngsec.com).
2034
2035- Add additional support for NetBSD/sparc64.
2036
2037- Fix a bug in the command-line parsing of the client. Also, resolve
2038 a memory leak.
2039
2040- Add better support for shells other than bash in the Linux client
2041 script.
2042
2043- Various build fixes for modern versions of FreeBSD and Linux.
2044
2045- Fix a bad bounds check when printing binding state names.
2046
2047- Clarify documentation about fixed-address and multiple addresses.
2048
2049- Fix a typo in the authoritative error message.
2050
2051- Make a log entry when we can't write a billing class.
2052
2053- Use conversion targets that are the right size on all architectures.
2054
2055- Increment the hop count when relaying.
2056
2057- Log a message when lease state is changed through OMAPI.
2058
2059- Don't rerun the shared_network when evaluating the pool.
2060
2061- Fix a reversed test in the parser.
2062
2063- Change the type of rbuf_max.
2064
2065- Make FTS_LAST a manifest constant to quiet warnings.
2066
2067 Changes since 3.0.1rc7
2068
2069- Fix two compiler warnings that are generated when compiling on Solaris
2070 with gcc. These stop the build, even though they weren't actually
2071 errors, because we prefer that our builds generate no warnings.
2072
2073 Changes since 3.0.1rc6
2074
2075- Don't allow a lease that's in the EXPIRED, RELEASED or RESET state
2076 to be renewed.
2077
2078- Implement lease stealing for cases where the primary has fewer leases
2079 than the secondary, as called for by the standard.
2080
2081- Add a fudge factor to the lease expiry acceptance code, (suggested
2082 by Kevin Miller of CMU).
2083
2084- Fix a bug in permit_list_match that made it much too willing to say
2085 that two permit lists matched.
2086
2087- Unless DEBUG_DNS_UPDATES is defined, print more user-friendly (and
2088 also more compact) messages about DNS updates.
2089
2090- Fix a bug in generating wire-format domain names for the FQDN option.
2091
2092- Fix a bug where the FQDN option would not be returned if the client
2093 requested it, contrary to the standard.
2094
2095- On Darwin, use the FreeBSD DHCP client script.
2096
2097- On NetBSD/sparc, don't check for casting warnings.
2098
2099- Add a flag in the DHCP client to disable updating the client's A
2100 record when sending an FQDN option indicating that the client is
2101 going to update its A record.
2102
2103- In the client, don't attempt a DNS update until one second after
2104 configuring the new IP address, and if the update times out, keep
2105 trying until a response, positive or negative, is received from the
2106 DNS server.
2107
2108- Fix an uninitialized memory bug in the DHCP client.
2109
2110- Apply some FreeBSD-specific bug fixes suggested by Murray Stokely.
2111
2112- Fix a bug in ns_parserr(), where it was returning the wrong sort
2113 of result code in some cases (suggested by Ben Harris of the
2114 NetBSD project).
2115
2116- Fix a bug in is_identifier(), where it was checking against EOF
2117 instead of the END_OF_FILE token (also suggested by Ben Harris).
2118
2119- Fix a bug where if an option universe contained no options, the
2120 DHCP server could dump core (Walter Steiner).
2121
2122- Fix a bug in the handling of encapsulated options.
2123
2124- Fix a bug that prevented NWIP suboptions from being processed.
2125
2126- Delete the FTS_BOOTP and FTS_RESERVED states and implement them
2127 as modifier flags to the FTS_ACTIVE state, as called for in the
2128 failover protocol standard.
2129
2130- Fix bugs in the pool merging code that resulted in references and
2131 dereferences of null pointers. This bug had no impact unless the
2132 POINTER_DEBUG flag was defined.
2133
2134- In the server, added a do-forward-updates flag that can be used to
2135 disable forward updates in all cases, so that sites that want the
2136 clients to take sole responsibility for updating their A record can
2137 do so.
2138
2139- Make it possible to disable optimization of PTR record updates.
2140
2141 Changes since 3.0.1rc5
2142
2143- Include some new documentation and changes provided by Karl Auer.
2144
2145- Add a workaround for some Lexmark printers that send a double-NUL-
2146 terminated host-name option, which would break DNS updates.
2147
2148- Fix an off-by-one error in the MAC-address checking code for
2149 DHCPRELEASE that was added in 3.0.1rc5.
2150
2151- Fix a bug where client-specific information was not being discarded
2152 from the lease when it expired or was released, resulting in
2153 problems if the lease was reallocated to a different client.
2154
2155- If more than one allocation pool is specified that has the same set
2156 of constraints as another allocation pool on the same shared
2157 network, merge the two pools.
2158
2159- Don't print an error in fallback_discard, since this just causes
2160 confusion and does not appear to be helping to encourage anyone to
2161 fix this bug.
2162
2163 Changes since 3.0.1rc4
2164
2165- Fix a bug that would cause the DHCP server to spin if asked to parse
2166 a certain kind of incorrect statement.
2167
2168- Fix a related bug that would prevent an error from being reported in
2169 the same case.
2170
2171- Additional documentation.
2172
2173- Make sure that the hardware address matches the lease when
2174 processing a DHCPRELEASE message.
2175
2176 Changes since 3.0.1rc3
2177
2178- A minor bug fix in the arguments to a logging function call.
2179- Documentation update for dhcpd.conf.
2180
adbef119 2181 Changes since 3.0.1rc2
98311e4b
DH
2182
2183- Allow the primary to send a POOLREQ message. This isn't what the current
2184 failover draft says to do, so we may have to back it out if I can't get the
2185 authors to relent, but the scheme for balancing that's specified in the
2186 current draft seems needlessly hairy, so I'm floating a trial balloon.
2187 The rc1 code did not implement the method described in the draft either.
2188
adbef119 2189 Changes since 3.0.1rc1
98311e4b
DH
2190
2191- Treat NXDOMAIN and NXRRSET as success when we are trying to delete a
2192 domain or RRSET. This allows the DHCP server to forget about a name
2193 it added to the DNS once it's been removed, even if the DHCP server
2194 wasn't the one that removed it.
2195
2196- Install defaults for failover maximum outstanding updates and maximum
2197 silent time. This prevents problems that might occur if these values
2198 were not configured.
2199
2200- Don't do DDNS deletes if ddns-update-style is none.
2201
2202- Return relay agent information options in DHCPNAK. This prevents DHCPNAK
2203 messages from being dropped when the relay agent information option contains
2204 routing information.
2205
2206- Fix a problem where coming up in recover wouldn't result in an update
2207 request being sent.
2208
2209- Add some more chatty messages when we start a recovery update and when it's
2210 done.
2211
2212- Fix a possible problem where some state might have been left around
2213 after the peer lost contact and regained contact about how many updates
2214 were pending.
2215
2216- Don't nix a lease update because of a lease conflict. This test has
2217 never (as far as I know) prevented a mistake, and it appears to cause
2218 problems with failover.
2219
2220- Add support in rc history code for keeping a selective history, rather
2221 than a history of all references and dereferences. This code is only used
2222 when extensive additional debugging is enabled.
2223
adbef119 2224 Changes since 3.0
98311e4b
DH
2225
2226- Make allocators for hash tables. As a side effect, this fixes a memory
2227 smash in the subclass allocation code.
2228
2229- Fix a small bug in omshell where if you try to close an object when
2230 no object is open, it dumps core.
2231
2232- Fix an obscure coredump that could occur on shutdown.
2233
2234- Fix a bug in the recording of host declaration rubouts in the lease file.
2235
2236- Fix two potential spins in the host deletion code.
2237
2238- Fix a core dump that would happen if an application tried to update

2248 when crucial information is left out.

2259 structure wasn't zeroed.
2260
2261- Fix some failover state transitions that were being handled
2262 incorrectly.
2263
2264- When supersede_lease is called on a lease whose end time has already
2265 expired, but for which a state transition has not yet been done, do
2266 a state transition. This fixes the case where if the secondary
2267 allocated a lease to a client and the lease "expired" while the
2268 secondary was in partner-down, no expiry event would actually
2269 happen, so the lease would remain active until the primary was
2270 restarted.

2274- Fix a bug that was preventing released leases from changing state
2275 in failover-enabled pools.

2277- Fix a core dump in the client identifier finder code (for host
2278 declarations).
2279
2280- Finish fixing a bug where bogus data would sometimes get logged to
2281 the dhclient.leases file because it was opened as descriptor 2.
2282
2283- Fix the Linux dhclient-script according to suggestions made by
2284 several people on the dhcp-client mailing list.

2286- Log successful DNS updates at LOG_INFO, not LOG_ERROR.
2287

2308 This was introduced in rc8pl1 as an unintended result of the memory
2309 leakage fixes that were in pl1.
2310
2311- Fix a long-standing bug where the server would record that an update
2312 had been done for a client with no name, even though no update had
2313 been done, and then when the client's lease expired the deletion of
2314 that nonexistant record would time out because the name was the null
2315 string.

2324- Fix a bug that was causing core dumps on BSD/os in the presence of
2325 malformed packets.
2326
2327- In partner-down state, don't restrict lease lengths to MCLT.
2328
2329- On the failover secondary, record the MCLT received from the primary
2330 so that if we come up without a connection to the primary we don't
2331 wind up giving out zero-length leases.
2332
2333- Fix some compilation problems on BSD/os.

2340 make the message clearer when a key algorithm isn't supported.

2343 tcp connections from being played back.

2346 on exit.
2347

2355 DHCP client that could cause core dumps, but that for some reason
2356 hadn't been noticed until now.
2357
2358 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 7
2359
2360- Fix a bug in failover where we weren't sending updates after a
2361 transition from communications-interrupted to normal.
2362
2363- Handle expired/released/reset -> free transition according to the
2364 protocol specification (this works - the other way not only wasn't
2365 conformant, but also didn't work).
2366
2367- Add a control object in both client and server that allows either
2368 daemon to be shut down cleanly.
2369
2370- When writing a lease, if we run out of disk space, shut down the
2371 output file and insist on writing a new one before proceeding.
2372
2373- In the server, if the OMAPI listener port is occupied, keep trying
2374 to get it, rather than simply giving up and exiting.
2375
2376- Support fetching variables from leases and also updating and adding
2377 variables to leases via OMAPI.
2378
2379- If two failover peers have wildly different clocks, refuse to start
2380 doing failover.
2381

2383 running on alpha processors.

2386 patch from Andrey M Linkevitch.

2389
2390- Install omshell (including new documentation).
2391
2392- Support DNS updates in the client (this is a very obscure feature
2393 that most DHCP client users probably will not be able to use).
2394
2395- Somewhat cleaner status logging in the client.
2396
2397- Make OMAPI key naming syntax compatible with the way keys are
2398 actually named (key names are domain names).
2399
2400- Fix a bug in the lease file writer.
2401
2402- Install DHCP ISC headers in a different place than BIND 9 ISC
2403 headers, to avoid causing trouble in BIND 9 builds.
2404
2405- Don't send updates for attributes on an object when the attributes
2406 haven't changed. Support deleting attributes on remote objects.
2407
2408- Fix a number of bugs in omshell, and add the unset and refresh
2409 statements.
2410
2411- Handle disconnects in OMAPI a little bit more intelligently (so that
2412 the caller gets ECONNRESET instead of EINVAL).
2413
2414- Fix a bunch of bugs in the handling of clients that have existing
2415 leases when the try to renew their leases while failover is
2416 operating.

2436 chains from being freed upon removal of the last reference external
2437 to the chain.

2455 DHCPDECLINE.
2456
2457- Fix failover peer OMAPI support.
2458
2459- In failover, correctly handle expiration of leases. Previously,
2460 leases would never be reclaimed because they couldn't make the
2461 transition from EXPIRED to FREE.
2462
2463- Fix some broken failover state transitions.
2464
2465- Documentation fixes.
2466
2467- Take out an unnecessary check in DHCP relay agent information option
2468 stashing code that was preventing REBINDING clients from rebinding.
2469
2470- Prevent failover peers from allocating leases in DHCPREQUEST
2471 processing if the lease belongs to the other server.
2472

2474
2475- Correctly report connection errors in OMAPI and failover.

2478 case-insensitive.

2508 Friedrich.

2511

2513
2514- Change the conditions under which a DHCPRELEASE is actually
2515 committed to be consistent with lease binding states rather than
98311e4b 2516 using the lease end time. This may fix some problems with the
892fe689
TL
2517 billing class code.
2518
2519- Fix a bug where lease updates would fail on Digital Unix (and maybe
2520 others) because malloc was called with a size of zero.
2521
2522- Fix a core dump that happens when the DHCP server can't create its
2523 trace file.

87784777 2526
79ea3de8
TL
2527- Fix the dhcp_failover_put_message to not attempt to allocate a
2528 zero-length buffer. Some versions of malloc() fail if you try to
2529 allocate a zero-length buffer, and this was causing problems on,
2530 e.g., Digital Unix.
2531
2532- Fix a case where the failover code was printing an error message
2533 when no error had occurred.
2534
2535- Fix a problem where when a server went down and back up again, the
2536 peer would not see a state transition and so would stay in the
2537 non-communicating state.
2538
2539- Be smart about going into recover_wait.
2540
2541- Fix a problem in the failover implementation where peers would fail
2542 to come into sync if interrupted in the RECOVER state. This could
2543 have been the cause of some problems people have reported recently.
2544
2545- Fix a problem with billing classes where they would not be unbilled
2546 when the client lease expired.
2547
2548- If select fails, figure out which descriptor is bad, and cut it out
2549 of the I/O loop. This prevents a potentially nasty spin. I
2550 haven't heard any report it in a while, but it came up consistently
2551 in testing.
2552
2553- Fix a bug in the relay agent where if you specified interfaces on
2554 the command line, it would fail.
2555
2556- Fix a couple of small bugs in the omapi connection object (no known
2557 user impact).
2558
2559- Add the missing 3.0 Beta 1 lease conversion script.
2560

2562 they're executable.

2604 checked. This may have been causing core dumps.
2605

2607 billing class statement, and the lease already has a billing class,
2608 unbill the old class.
2609
2610- When processing failover transactions, where acks will be deferred,
2611 process the state transition immediately.
2612
2613- Don't try to use the new SIOCGIFCONF buffer size detection code on
2614 Linux 2.0, which doesn't provide this functionality.
2615
2616- Apply a patch suggested by Tuan Uong for a problem in dlpi.c.

2620- Fix a parse error in the client when setting up an omapi listener.
2621
2622- Document the -n and -g flags to the client.
2623
2624- Make sure there is always a stdin and stdout on startup. This
2625 prevents shell scripts from accidentally writing error messages into
2626 configuration files that happen to be opened as stderr.
2627
2628- If an interface is removed, the client will now notice that it is
2629 gone rather than spinning. This has only been tested on NetBSD.
2630
2631- The client will attempt to get an address even if it can't create a
2632 lease file.
2633
2634- Don't overwrite tracefiles.

2678
2679- Implement omshell, which can be used to do arbitrary things to the
2680 server (in theory). (Damien Neil)
2681
2682- Fix a case where if a client had two different leases the server could
2683 actually dereference the second one when it hadn't been referenced,
2684 leading to memory corruption and a core dump. (James Brister)
2685
2686- Fix a case where a client could request the address of another client's
2687 lease, but find_lease wouldn't detect that the other client had it, and
2688 would attempt to allocate it to the client, resulting in a lease conflict
2689 message.
2690
2691- Fix a case where a client with more than one client identifier could be
2692 given a lease where the hardware address was correct but the client
2693 identifier was not, resulting in a lease conflict message.
2694
98311e4b 2695- Fix a problem where the server could write out a colon-separated
3350f5b7
TL
2696 hex list as a value for a variable, which would then not parse.
2697 The fix is to always write strings as quoted strings, with any
2698 non-printable characters quoted as octal escape sequences. So
2699 a file written the old way still won't work, but new files written
2700 this way will work.

2702- Fix documentation for sending non-standard options.

2705 break any configuration files that use the option-nnn convention.
2706 If you want to continue to use this convention for some options,
2707 please be sure to write a definition, like this:
2708
2709 option option-nnn code nnn = string;
2710
2711 You can use a descriptive name instead of option-nnn if you like.
2712
2713- Fix a problem where we would see a DHCPDISCOVER/DHCPOFFER/
2714 DHCPREQUEST/DHCPACK/DHCPREQUEST/DHCPNAK sequence. This was the
2715 result of a deceptively silly bug in supersede_lease.
2716

2730- Add support for transaction tracing. This allows the state of the
2731 DHCP server on startup, and all the subsequent transactions, to be
2732 recorded in a file which can then be played back to reproduce the
2733 behaviour of the DHCP server. This can be used to quickly
2734 reproduce bugs that cause core dumps or corruption, and also for
2735 tracking down memory leaks.
2736
2737- Incorporate some bug fixes provided by Joost Mulders for the DLPI
2738 package which should clear up problems people have been seeing on
2739 Solaris.
2740
2741- Fix bugs in the handling of options stored as linked lists (agent
2742 options, fqdn options and nwip options) that could cause memory
2743 corruption and core dumps.

2775- Some documentation tweaks.
2776
2777- Maybe fix a problem in the DLPI code.
2778
2779- Fix some error code space inconsistencies in ddns update code.
2780
2781- Support relay agents that intercept unicast DHCP messages to stuff
2782 agent options into them.
2783
2784- Fix a small memory leak in the relay agent option support code.

2786- Fix a core dump that would occur if a packet was sent with no
2787 options.

2790
2791- Finish fixing a long-standing bug in the agent options code. This
2792 was causing core dumps and failing to operate correctly - in
2793 particular, agent option stashing wasn't working. Agent option
2794 stashing should now be working, meaning that agent options can be
2795 used in class statements to control address allocation.
2796
2797- Fix up documentation.
2798
2799- Fix a couple of small memory leaks that would have added up
2800 significantly in a high-demand situation.
2801
2802- Add a log-facility configuration parameter.
2803
2804- Fix a compile error on some older operating systems.
2805
2806- Add the ability in the client to execute certain statements before
2807 transmitting packets to the server. Handy for debugging; not much
2808 practical use otherwise.
2809
2810- Don't send faked-out giaddr when renewing or bound - again, useful
2811 for debugging.

2814
2815- Fixed a problem where the fqdn decoder would sometimes try to store
2816 an option with an (unsigned) negative length, resulting in a core
2817 dump on some systems.
2818
2819- Work around the Win98 DHCP client, which NUL-terminates the FQDN
2820 option.
2821
2822- Work around Win98 and Win2k clients that will claim they want to do
2823 the update even when they don't have any way to do it.
2824
2825- Fix some log messages that can be printed when failover is operating
2826 that were not printing enough information.
2827
2828- It was possible for a DHCPDISCOVER to get an allocation even when
2829 the state machine said the server shouldn't be responding.
2830
2831- Don't load balance DHCPREQUESTs from clients in RENEWING and
2832 REBINDING, since in RENEWING, if we heard it, it's for us, and in
2833 REBINDING, the client wouldn't have got to REBINDING if its primary
2834 were answering.
2835
2836- When we get a bogus state lease binding state transition, don't do
2837 the transition.

2845
2846- Albert Herranz tracked down and fixed a subtle bug in the base64
2847 decoder that would prevent any key with an 'x' in its base64
2848 representation from working correctly.
2849
2850- Thanks to Chris Cheney and Michael Sanders, we have a fix for the
2851 hang that they both spotted in the DHCP server - when
2852 one-lease-per-client was set, the code to release the "other" lease
2853 could spin.
2854
2855- Fix a problem with alignment of the input buffer in bpf in cases
2856 where two packets arrive in the same bpf read.
2857
2858- Fix a problem where the relay agent would crash if you specified an
2859 interface name on the command line.
2860
2861- Add the ability to conditionalize client behaviour based on the
2862 client state.
2863
2864- Add support for the FQDN option, and added support for a new way of
2865 doing ddns updates (ddns update style interim) that allows more than
2866 one DHCP server to update the DNS for the same network(s). This
2867 was implemented by Damien Neil with some additional functionality
2868 added by Ted Lemon.
2869
2870- Damien added a "log" statement, so that the configuration file can
2871 be made to log debugging information and other information.
2872
2873- Fixed a bug that caused option buffers not to be terminated with an
2874 end option.
2875
2876- Fixed a long-standing bug in the support for option spaces where the
2877 options are stored as an ordered list rather than in a hash table,
2878 which could theoretically result in memory pool corruption.
2879
2880- Prevent hardware declarations with no actual hardware address from
2881 being written as something unparsable, and behave correctly in the
2882 face of a null hardware address on input.
2883
2884- Allow key names to be FQDNs, and qualify the algorithm name if it is
2885 specified unqualified.
2886
2887- Modify the DDNS update code so that it never prints the "resolver
2888 failed" message, but instead says *why* the resolver failed.
2889
2890- Officially support the subnet selection option, which now has an
2891 RFC.
2892
2893- Fix a build bug on MacOS X.
2894
2895- Allow administrator to disable ping checking.
2896
2897- Clean up dhcpd.conf documentation and add more information about how
2898 it works.

2909- Fix a bug in the handling of relay agent information options introduced
2910 in patchlevel 9.
2911
2912- Stash agent options on client leases by default, and use the stashed
2913 options at renewal time.
2914
2915- Add the ability to test the client's binding state in the client
2916 configuration language.
2917
2918- Fix a core dump in the DNS update code.
2919
2920- Fix some expression evaluation bugs that were causing updates to be
2921 done when no client hostname was received.
2922
2923- Fix expression evaluation debugging printfs.
2924
2925- Teach pretty_print_option to print options in option spaces other than
2926 the DHCP option space.
2927
2928- Add a warning message if the RHS of a not is not boolean.
2929
2930- Never select for more than a day, because some implementations of
2931 select will just fail if the timeout is too long (!).
2932
2933- Fix a case where a DHCPDISCOVER from an unknown network would be
2934 silently dropped.
2935
2936- Fix a bug where if a client requested an IP address for which a different
2937 client had the lease, the DHCP server would reallocate it anyway.
2938
2939- Fix the DNS update code so that if the client changes its name, the DNS
2940 will be correctly updated.

2953- Fix a possible DoS attack where a client could cause the checksummer
2954 to dump core. This was a read, not a write, so it shouldn't be
2955 possible to exploit it any further than that.
2956
2957- Implement client- and server-side support for using the Client FQDN
2958 option.
2959
2960- Support for other option spaces in the client has been added. This
2961 means that it is now possible to define a vendor option space on the
2962 client, request options in that space from the server (which must
2963 define the same option space), and then use those options in the
2964 client. This also allows NWIP and Client FQDN options to be used
2965 meaningfully.
2966
2967- Add object initializer support. This means that objects can now be
2968 initialized to something other than all-zeros when allocated, which
2969 makes, e.g., the interface object support code a little more robust.
2970
2971- Fix an off-by-one bug in the host stuffer. This was causing host
2972 deletes not the work, and may also have been causing OMAPI
2973 connections to get dropped. Thanks to James Brister for tracking
2974 this one down!
2975
2976- Fixed a core dump in the interface discovery code that is triggered
2977 when there is no subnet declaration for an interface, but the server
2978 decides to continue running. Thanks to Shane Kerr for tracking
2979 down and fixing this problem.

2987 environment.

2994 connection code.
2995
2996- Fix a potential memory smash in dhcpctl code.
2997
2998- Fix SunOS4 and (maybe) Ultrix builds.
2999
3000- Fix a bug where a certain sort of incoming packet could cause a core
3001 dump on Solaris (and probably elsewhere).
3002
3003- Add some more safety checks in error logging code.
3004
3005- Add support for ISC_R_INCOMPLETE in OMAPI protocol connection code.
3006
3007- Fix relay agent so that if an interface is specified on the command
3008 line, the relay agent does not dump core.
3009
3010- Fix class matching so that match if can be combined with match or
3011 spawn with.
3012
3013- Do not allow spurious leases in the lease database to introduce
3014 potentially bogus leases into the in-memory database.
3015
3016- Fix a byte-order problem in the client hardware address type code
3017 for OMAPI.
3018
3019- Be slightly less picky about what sort of hardware addresses OMAPI
3020 can install in host declarations.

3025 parsing, which allows things like the slp-agent option to be encoded
3026 correctly. Thanks very much to Peter for taking the initiative to
3027 do this, and for doing such a careful job of it (e.g., updating the
3028 comments)!

3036 Jumelle where when the network connection between two servers is
3037 lost, they never reconnect.
3038
3039- Fix client script files other than that for NetBSD to actually use
3040 make_resolv_conf as documented in the manual page.
3041
3042- Fix a bug in the packet handling code that could result in a core
3043 dump.

3046 be sent to the wrong MAC address. Thanks to Jerry Schave for
3047 catching this one.

TL
3053 lease renewal time.
3054
3055- Fix a reference counting error that would result in very reproducible
3056 failures in updates, as well as occasional core dumps, if a zone was
3057 declared without a key.
3058
3059- Fix some Linux 2.0 compilation problems.
3060
3061- Fix a bug in scope evaluation during execution of "on" statements that
3062 caused values not to be recorded on leases.
3063
3064- If the dhcp-max-message-size option is specified in scope, and the
3065 client didn't send this option, use the one specified in scope to
3066 determine the maximum size of the response.

3084 allocate a larger buffer, and retry. Thanks to Greg Fausak for
3085 pointing this out.
3086
3087- In the server, if no interfaces were configured, report an error and
3088 exit.
3089
3090- Don't ever record a state of 'startup'.
3091
3092- Don't try to evaluate the local failover binding address if none was
3093 specified. Thanks to Joseph Breu for finding this.
