37ec5845 12
b12d9105 13The areas of focus for ISC DHCP 4.4 were:
397599cb
TM
14
151. Dynamic DNS additions
162. dhclient improvements
173. Support for dynamic shared libraries
18
19Dynamic DNS Improvements:
20
21- We added three new server configuration parameters which influence DDNS
22 conflict resolution:
23
24 1. ddns-dual-stack-mixed-mode - alters DNS conflict resolution behavior
25 to mitigate issues with non-compliant clients in dual stack environments.
26
27 2. ddns-guard-id-must-match - relaxes the DHCID RR client id matching
28 requirement of DNS conflict resolution.
29
30 3. ddns-other-guard-is-dynamic - alters dual-stack-mixed-mode behavior to
31 allow unguarded DNS entries to be overwritten in certain cases
32
33- The server now honors update-static-leases parameter for static DHCPv6
34 hosts.
35
36dhclient Improvements:
37
a804fcc0 38 - We've added three command line parameters to dhclient:
397599cb
TM
39
40 1. --prefix-len-hint - directs dhclient to use the given length as
41 the prefix length hint when requesting prefixes
42
a804fcc0 43 2. --decline-wait-time - instructs the client to wait the given number
397599cb
TM
44 of seconds after declining an IPv4 address before issuing a discover
45
a804fcc0
TM
46 3. --address-prefix-len - specifies the prefix length passed by dhclient
47 into the client script (via the environment variable ip6_prefixlen) with
48 each IPv6 address. We added this parameter because we have changed the
49 default value from 64 to 128 in order to be compliant with RFC3315bis
50 draft (-09, page 64) and RFC5942, Section 4, point 1.
51 **WARNING**: The new default value of 128 may not be backwardly compatible
52 with your environment. If you are operating without a router, such as
7932503f 53 between VMs on a host, you may find they cannot see each other with prefix
a804fcc0
TM
54 length of 128. In such cases, you'll need to either provide routing or use
55 the command line parameter to set the value to 64. Alternatively you may
56 change the default at compile time by setting DHCLIENT_DEFAULT_PREFIX_LEN
57 in includes/site.h.
58
397599cb
TM
59 - dhclient will now generate a DHCPv6 DECLINE message when the client script
60 indicates a DAD failure
61
62Dynamic shared library support:
63
64 Configure script, configure.ac+lt, which supports libtool is now provided
65 with the source tar ball. This script can be used to configure ISC DHCP
9de870cc 66 to build with libtool and thus use dynamic shared libraries.
4ff4053b 67
4aa6129a
TM
68Other Highlights:
69
70 - The server now supports dhcp-cache-threshold for DHCPv6 operations
71 - The server now supports DHPv6 address allocation based on EUI-64 DUIDs
72 - Experimental support for alternate relay port in the both the server
73 and relay for IPv4, IPv6 and 4o6 (see: draft-ietf-dhc-relay-port-10.txt)

cce04313 90 Changes since 4.4.1 (New Features)
a5b21e16
TM
91
92- A new configuration parameter, ping-cltt-secs (v4 operation only), has
93 been added to allow the user to specify the number of seconds that must
94 elapse since CLTT before a ping check is conducted. Prior to this, the
0cd94b5e 95 value was hard coded at 60 seconds. Please see the server man pages for
a5b21e16
TM
96 a more detailed discussion.
97 [ISC-Bugs #36283]
cce04313 98
cb89a691
TM
99- A new configuration parameter, ping-timeout-ms (v4 operation only),
100 has been added that allows the user to specify the amount of time
101 the server waits for a ping-check response in milliseconds rather
102 than in seconds (via ping-timeout). When greater than zero, the value
103 of ping-timeout-ms will override the value of ping-timeout. Thanks
104 to Jay Doran from Bluecat Networks for suggesting this feature.
0cd94b5e 105 [Gitlab #10]
cb89a691 106
2ca63671
TM
107- An experimental tool called, Keama (KEA Migration Assistant), which helps
108 translate ISC DHCP configurations to Kea configurations, is now included
109 in the distribution.
110 [Gitlab #34]
111
cce04313
TM
112 Changes since 4.4.1 (Bug Fixes)
113
114- Corrected a misuse of the BIND9 DDNS API which caused DDNS updates to be
115 carried out over TCP rather than UDP. The coding error was exposed by
116 migration to BIND9 9.11. Thanks to Jinmei Tatuya at Infoblox for
117 reporting the issue.
118 [ISC-Bugs #47757]
119
c07eb442
TM
120- Bind9 now defaults to requiring python to build. The Makefile for
121 building Bind9 when bundled with ISC DHCP was modified to turn off
122 this dependency.
0cd94b5e 123 [Gitlab #3]
9ef78585
TM
124
125- Corrected a dual-stack mixed-mode issue that occurs when both
126 ddns-guard-id-must-match and ddns-other-guard-is-dynamic
127 are enabled and that caused the server to incorrectly interpret
128 the presence of a guard record belonging to another client as
129 a case of no guard record at all. Thanks to Fernando Soto
130 from BlueCat Networks for reporting this issue.
0cd94b5e 131 [Gitlab #1]
c07eb442 132
1c779d3b
TM
133- Corrected a compilation issue that occurred when building without DNS
134 update ability (e.g. by undefining NSUPDATE).
0cd94b5e 135 [Gitlab #16]
1c779d3b 136
fce94f06
TM
137- Corrected an issue that was causing the server, when running in
138 DHPCv4 mode, to segfault when class lease limits are reached.
dfcbe359
TM
139 Thanks to Peter Nagy at Porion-Digital for reporting the matter
140 and submitting a patch.
0cd94b5e 141 [Gitlab #13]
fce94f06 142
753d458b 143- Made minor changes to eliminate warnings when compiled with GCC 9.
71277027 144 Thanks to Brett Neumeier for bringing the matter to our attention.
0cd94b5e
TM
145 [Gitlab #15]
146
147- Fixed potential memory leaks in parser error message generation
148 spotted by Coverity, CIDs: 1448191, 1448193, 1448194, 1448195
149 [Gitlab #30]
150
151- Updated URL of IEEE oui.txt in contrib/dhcp-lease-list.pl. Thanks
152 to Tommy Smith for contributing the patch.
153 [Gitlab #26]
154
155- Fixed define flags when using SO_BINDTODEVICE. Thanks to Joe LeVeque for
156 reporting the issue.
157 [GitLab #19]
158
159- Applied a patch from OpenBSD to always set the scope id of outbound
160 DHPCv6 packets. Note this change only applies when compiling under
161 OpenBSD. Thanks to Brad Smith at OpenBSD from bringing it to our
162 attention.
163 [Gitlab #33]
164
165- Modified dhclient to not discard config file leases that are
166 duplicates of server-provided leases and to retain such leases
167 after they have been used as the fallback active lease and
168 DHCP service has been restored. This allows them to be used
169 more than once during the lifetime of a dhclient instance.
170 This applies to DHCPv4 operation only.
171 [Gitlab #9]
172
173- Corrected a number of reference counter and zero-length buffer leaks.
174 [Gitlab #57]
175
176- Closed a small window of time between the installation of graceful
177 shutdown signal handlers and application context startup, during which
178 the receipt of shutdown signal would cause a REQUIRE() assertion to
179 occur. Note this issue is only visible when compiling with
180 ENABLE_GENTLE_SHUTDOWN defined.
181 [Gitlab #53]
182
183- Corrected a buffer overflow that can occur when retrieving zone
184 names that are more than 255 characters in length.
185 [Gitlab #20]
186
187- The "d" domain name option format was incorrectly handled as text
188 instead of RFC 1035 wire format. Thanks to Jay Doran at BlueCat Networks
189 for reporting this issue.
190 [Gitlab #2]
191
192- Improved the error message issued when a host declaration has both
193 a uid and a dhcp-client-identifier. Server configuration parsing will
194 now fail if a host declaration specifies more than one uid.
195 [Gitlab #7]

cce04313 199 Changes since 4.4.0 (Bug Fixes)
6826003b
TM
200
201- A delayed-ack value of 0 (the default), now correctly disables the delayed
202 feature. A change in 4.4.0 prohibited lease updates marking leases active
203 from be written to the lease file when delayed-ack is 0. This in turn,
204 caused servers to lose active lease assignments upon restart.
205 [ISC-Bugs #47141]
206
197b26f2
TM
207! Option reference count was not correctly decremented in error path
208 when parsing buffer for options. Reported by Felix Wilhelm, Google
209 Security Team.
210 [ISC-Bugs #47140]
c5931725
TM
211 CVE: CVE-2018-5733
212
213! Corrected an issue where large sized 'X/x' format options were causing
214 option handling logic to overwrite memory when expanding them to human
215 readable form. Reported by Felix Wilhelm, Google Security Team.
216 [ISC-Bugs #47139]
217 CVE: CVE-2018-5732
197b26f2 218
d5118758
TM
219- Added use of new Bind9 compatibility header files, that are now necessary
220 to supply type definitions for primitive data types, removed from Bind9
221 proper. Altered util/bind.sh to pull from Bind9 repo on gitlab.
222 [ISC-Bugs #48072]
223 [ISC-Bugs #48071]
224
d394b602
TM
225 Changes since 4.4.0b1 (New Features)
226
227- Duplicate address detection when binding to a new IPv6 address was added
228 to the following dhclient scripts: linux,freebsd,netbsd,openbsd, and macos.
229 The scripts will check for DAD errors after binding to a new IPv6 address
230 for at most --dad-wait-time seconds. If a DAD error is detected the script
231 will exit with a value of 3, instructing dhclient to decline the address. If
232 dad-wait-time is zero (the default), DAD error checking is not peformed.
233 [ISC-Bugs 46805]
234
efd3b1e2
TM
235- Support for sending and receiving additional DHCP4 options has been added
236 to both the dhcpd and dhclient. Specifically: option codes 93,94, and 97
237 (RFC 4578); code 150 (RFC 5859); and codes 209,219, and 211 (RFC 5071).
238 Beyond configuring, sending, requesting, and receiving these options neither
239 server nor client apply any additional logic based on their values.
240 Thanks to Peter Lewis for requesting this change.
241 [ISC-Bugs 47062]
242
d638452e
TM
243 Changes since 4.4.0b1 (Bug Fixes)
244
245- Added clarifying text to dhcpd.conf.5 explaining the class match expressions
246 cannot rely on the results of executable statements.
247 [ISC-Bugs #45451]
248
db4e4aa2
TM
249- Fixed a bug which causes dhcpd and dhclient to crash on certain
250 systems when given relative path names for lease or pid files on
251 the command line. Affected systems are those on which the C library
252 function, realpath() does not support a second parameter value of
253 NULL (see manpages for realpath(3)).
254 [ISC-Bugs #46957]
255
b94669fa
TM
256- Fixed a build issue when building with embedded BIND9 under OpenBSD that
257 was causing BIND9 build to not generate dns/enumclass.h and dns/enumtype.h.
258 [ISC-Bugs #46971]
259
de964f22
TM
260- Added <dhcp>/m4/README to the distribution tarball. Some versions of
261 ac_local() treat the absence of the m4 subdirectory as error rather than
262 warning. This was causing the call to autoreconf, necessary for building
263 with libtool, to fail.
264 [ISC-Bugs #47075]
265
4aa6129a 266 Changes since 4.4.0a1 (New Features)
7512d88b 267
4aa6129a
TM
268- Added experimental support for relay port (draft-ietf-dhc-relay-port-10.txt)
269 feature for DHCPv4, DHCPv6 and DHCPv4-over-DHCPv6. Relay port has to be
270 enabled at compile time via --enable-relay-port and is fully backward
271 compatible (i.e. works with previous implementations of servers and relays
272 using the standard ports). A new --rp <relay-port> command line option
273 specifies to dhcrelay an alternate source port for upstream (i.e. toward
274 the server) messages. Thanks to Naiming Shen and Enke Chen of Cisco
275 systems for submitting these patches.
276 [ISC-Bugs #44535]
277
278- Added --release-on-roam to dhcpd server. When enabled and the server detects
279 that a DHCPv6 client (IAID+DUID) has roamed to a new network, it will release
280 the pre-existing leases on the old network and emit a log statement similar
281 to the following:
282
283 "Client: <id> roamed to new network, releasing lease: <address>"
284
285 The server will carry out all of the same steps that would normally occur
286 when a client explicitly releases a lease. This behavior is disabled by
287 default and may only be specified globally. Prior to this the server renders
288 the leases unavailable until they expire or the server is restarted. Clients
289 that need leases in multiple networks must supply a unique IAID in each IA.
290 When release-on-roam is disabled (the default) the server maintains the
291 prior behavior of making such leases unavailable until they expire or the
292 server is restarted. Clients that need leases in multiple networks must
293 supply a unique IAID in each IA. This parameter may only be specified at
294 the global level. Thanks to Fernando Soto from BlueCat Networks for
295 suggesting this change.
296 [ISC-Bugs #44576]
297 [ISC-Bugs #46849]
298
299- Support for delayed-ack is now compiled in by default. Prior to this
300 it had to be enabled at compile time via --enable-delayed-acks. The
301 default value for delayed-ack, however, has been changed from 28 to 0
302 (i.e. disabled). This was done to minimize the impact on users not
303 currently using the feature. Please note that the delayed-ack feature
304 is not currently compatible with support for DHPCv4-over-DHCPv6 so
305 when a 4to6 port command line argument enables this in the server the
306 delayed-ack value is reset to 0.
307 [ISC-Bugs #42446]
308
309- The server (-6) now honors the parameter, update-static-leases, for static
310 (fixed-address6) DHCPv6 leases. It is worth noting that because stateful
311 data is not retained by the server for static leases, each time a client
312 requests or renews a static lease, the server will perform DDNS updates for
313 it. This may have significant performance implications for environments
314 with many clients that request or renew static leases often. Similarly,
315 the DNS entries will not be removed by server when a client issues a RELEASE
316 nor if the lease is deleted from the configuration. In such cases the DNS
317 entries must be removed manually. This feature is disabled by default.
318 Thanks to both Bill Shirley and dgutier-at-cern-dot-ch for requesting
319 this change.
320 [ISC-Bugs #34097]
321 [ISC-Bugs #41054]
322 [ISC-Bugs #41450]
323
324- Added to the server (-6) a new statement, local-address6, which specifies
325 the source address of packets sent by the server. An additional flag,
326 bind-local-address6, disabled by default, binds the service socket to
327 to local-address6. Note that bind-local-address does not work with direct
328 clients: a relay has to forward packets to the server using the
329 local-address6 destination.
330 [ISC-Bugs #46084]
331
332 Changes since 4.4.0a1 (Bugs)
333
334- The server now recognizes environment variables PATH_DHCPD_DB and
335 PATH_DHCPD_PID. These had been incorrectly compiled out of the code
336 unless DHCPv6 support was disabled. Additionally, the server man
337 pages were corrected to accurately reflect how the server chooses
338 file names (see lease-file-name and pid-file-name statements). Thanks
7932503f
TM
339 to Fernando Soto at Bluecat Networks for bringing this matter to our
340 attention.
4aa6129a
TM
341 [ISC-Bugs #46859]
342
343- Removed an "Impossible condition" error upon exit in the dhcpd server that
344 has been shutdown via OMAPI. This condition was only apparent under Solaris
345 when building with --enable-use-sockets and --enable-ipv4-pktinfo.
346 [ISC-Bugs #36118]
347
65eed5c1 348- Corrected some minor Coverity issues: CID 1426059, 1426058, and 1426057.
4aa6129a
TM
349 [ISC-Bugs #46836]
350
351- Added missing text to dhclient.8 and expanded release note coverage
352 for --address-prefix-len changes.
7512d88b 353
0e76cb91 354 Changes since 4.3.6 (New Features)
3210786b 355
f9741514
FD
356- Added --enable-bind-install to install embedded bind includes and
357 libraries. Default is to not install them (it was the previous
358 behavior). If you'd like to change the includedir and/or libdir
5a67b030
FD
359 installation directories to something different than for ISC DHCP
360 you must pass them using the --with-bind-extra-config configuration
361 arguments.
f9741514
FD
362 [ISC-Bugs #39318]
363
007ba82a
FD
364- Added support of dynamic shared libraries with libtool. A new
365 --enable-libtool configuration parameter is available but
366 should not be used directly: *please* read the build configuration
367 section in the README file for the recommended procedure.
368 [ISC-Bugs #29402]
369
417b7b4a
TM
370- IPv6 operation now supports an EUI-64 based address allocation which will
371 calculate addresses for clients with EUI-64 DUIDs based on those DUIDs when
372 enabled by setting use-eui-64 true. The parameter may defined down to the
373 pool scope. Note this feature must be compiled in by defining EUI_64 in
374 includes/site.h. This flag is undefined by default.
375 [ISC-Bugs #43927]
376
b3e6fd51
TM
377- The directory includes/isc-dhcp and it's only occupant, dst.h, have
378 been removed from the source tree. They are obsolete for branches
379 other than v4_1_esv.
380 [ISC-bugs #45541]
381
7512d88b
TM
382- Replaced ISC licensing with Mozilla Public License, MPL 2.0 licensing
383 throughout. Please see https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/MPL/2.0/ to read
384 the MPL 2.0 license terms.
385 [ISC-Bugs #45541]
386
3e985dbf
TM
387- Load balancing for failover peers can now be disabled by setting
388 "load balance max secs" to 0. Doing so for both peers means both
389 servers will respond to all DHCPDISCOVERs or DHCPREQUESTs as soon as
390 they are received.
391 [ISC-Bugs #39669]
392
c0e9661e
TM
393- Added a new dhclient command line parameter, --prefix-len-hint <length>.
394 When used in conjunction with -P, it directs dhclient to use the given
d8805cee
TM
395 length as the prefix length hint when requesting prefixes. Thanks to both
396 Indy, of the FireballISO open source project and H. Peter Anvin for
397 suggesting this change.

TM
402
403- dhclient will now wait for 10 seconds after declining an IPv4 address
404 before issuing a discover. This is in keeping with RFC 2131, section 3.1.5.
405 Prior to this dhclient did not wait at all. The amount of time dhclient
406 waits can be specified via a new command line parameter:
407 --decline-wait-time <seconds>. A value of zero equates to no wait at all.
ecf9f77b 408 Thanks to Pavel Kankovsky for bringing this matter to our attention.

3e88222f 410 [ISC-Bugs #45457]
c0e9661e 411
35e86889
TM
412- dhclient will now include the lease address when logging DHCPOFFERs,
413 DHCPREQUESTs, DHCPACKs, DHCPRELEASEs, and DHCPDECLINEs. Additionally,
414 DHCPOFFERs will be logged before their corresponding DHCPREQUESTs are
415 sent and logged.
416 [ISC-Bugs #2729]
417
d6057334
TM
418- When given the -T command line argument, in addition to reading the
419 current lease file, the server will write the leases to a temporary
420 lease file. This can help detect issues in server configuration that
421 only surface when leases are written to the file. The current lease
422 file will not be modified and the temporary lease file is removed upon
423 completion of the test.
424 [ISC-Bugs #22267]
425
0f69ff73
TM
426- dhclient will now generate a DHCPv6 DECLINE message containing all IA_NA
427 addresses which for which the client script indicates a DAD failure. After
428 receiving the DECLINE reply, dhclient will restart the solicit process.
429 Note, the client script must exit with a value of 3 to signify that the
430 address failed DAD. Thanks to Jiri Popelka of Red Hat for submitting the
431 patch that was the foundation for this change.

437- Replaced compilation option, enable-secs-byteorder, with a run-time, server
438 configuration parameter, check-secs-byte-order. When enabled, the
439 server will check for clients that do the byte ordering on the secs field
440 incorrectly. This field should be in network byte order but some clients
441 get it wrong. When this parameter is enabled the server will examine the
442 secs field and if it looks wrong (high byte non zero and low byte zero) swap
443 the bytes. The default is disabled. This parameter is only useful when
444 doing load balancing within failover.

TM
447- The default value for server (-6) parameter, prefix-length-mode, has been
448 changed from "exact" to "prefer". In "prefer" mode the server will offer
449 the first available prefix with the same length as that requested by the
450 client. If none are found then it will offer the first available prefix of
451 any length. This is more in line with with RFC 8168 and should improve
452 the out-of-the-box user experience.

TM
456- Added support for 'dhcp-cache-threshold' to IPv6 operation: If a client
457 renews before 'dhcp-cache-threshold' percent of its lease has elapsed
458 (default 25%), the server will reuse the allocated lease (provide a
459 lease within the currently allocated lease-time) rather than extend or
460 renew the lease. This allows the server to reply without needlessly
461 writing leases to disk. The preferred and valid lease lifetimes
462 sent to the client will be reduced by the age of the lease. The option
463 may be specified down to the pool level and is supported for all three
464 pool types: NA, TA, and PD.

467- Added three new server configuration parameters which influence DDNS:
468 1. ddns-dual-stack-mixed-mode - alters DNS conflict resolution behavior
469 to mitigate issues with non-compliant clients in dual stack environments.
470
471 2. ddns-guard-id-must-match - relaxes the DHCID RR client id matching
472 requirement of DNS conflict resolution.

480- A "key-algorithm <algorithm>" statement has been added to omshell to
481 allow the specification of the key algorithm to use during transaction
482 authentication. Prior to this it was hard-coded to be hmac-md5. It now
483 supports all of the same algorithms as the dhcpd server: hmac-md5 (the
484 default), hmac-sha1, hmac-sha224, hmac-sha256, hmac-sha384, and hmac-sha512.

TM
487- Added a server configuration parameter, persist-eui-64-leases, which
488 determines whether or not EUI-64 based leases are written to the
489 leases file. Default is true.
490 [ISC-Bugs #45046]
491
140612c8 492- Changed the default value of the prefix length passed by dhclient into the
a804fcc0
TM
493 client script for each IPv6 address from 64 to 128. This was done to comply
494 with RFC3315bis draft (-09, page 64) and RFC5942, Section 4, point 1.
495 In addition, dhclient now supports a command line argument,
496 --address-prefix-len, which may be used to override the default value.
497 **WARNING**: This change may not be backwardly compatible with your
498 environment. If you are operating without a router, such as between VMs on
499 a host, you may find they cannot see each with prefix length of 128. In
500 such cases, you'll need to either provide routing or use the command line
501 parameter to set the value to 64. Alternatively you may change the default
502 at compile time by setting DHCLIENT_DEFAULT_PREFIX_LEN in includes/site.h.

512- Corrected an issue where the server would return a client's previously
513 released prefix lease even when the client provides a prefix length
514 hint that does not match the prior lease. Now the server will only
515 return the previous lease if it exactly matches the hint. If not
516 it will attempt to allocate a new prefix based on the hint and the
517 prefix-length-mode. Thanks to Tim DeNike - Lightspeed Communications
518 for pointing out the error of our ways.

526- Added to code ignore empty IPv4 host name option (code 12). While RFC 2132
527 states the option cannot be empty, some clients are apparently capable of
528 sending it. Prior to this the server was attempting to use it and store it
529 in the lease file causing issues with DDNS and so forth.

561- The server now allows the client identifier (option 61) to own leases
562 in more than one subnet concurrently. Prior to this the server would
563 incorrectly release an existing lease in one subnet prior to assigning
564 a lease in another subnet. Note that the prior behavior can be still
565 be achieved by enabling one-lease-per-client. Thanks to both David Zych at

603- On 64-bit platforms, dhclient now generates the correct value for the
604 script environment variable, "expiry", the lease expiry value exceeds
605 0x7FFFFFFF. Prior to this such values would produce negative values

622- When running in -6 mode, dhclient can enforce the require option statement
623 and will discard offered leases that do not contain all the required
624 options specified in the client configuration. If not enabled the client
625 will still consider such leases. This must be enabled at compile time
626 (see ENFORCE_DHCPV6_CLIENT_REQUIRE in includes/site.h). Thanks to

630- Altered DHCPv4 lease time calculation to avoid roll over errors on 64-bit
631 OS systems when using -1 or large values for default-lease-time. Rollover
632 values will be replaced with 0x7FFFFFFF - 1. This alleviates unintentionally
633 short expiration times being handed out when infinite lease times (-1) in
634 conjunction with failover. Our thanks to Alessandro Gherardi for bringing
635 the issue to our attention.

640 [ISC-Bugs #44765]
20931f53 641
0e76cb91
TM
642- Added --dad-wait-time parameter to dhclient. It specifies the maximum time,
643 in seconds, that the client process should wait for the duplicate address
644 detection to complete before initiating DHCP requests. This value is
645 propagated to the dhclient script and the script is responsible for waiting
646 the specified amount of time or until DAD has completed. If the script does
647 not support it, specifying this parameter has no effect. The default value
648 is 0 which specifies that the script should not wait for DAD. With this
649 change the following scripts have been modified to support the new parameter:
650 freebsd, linux, macos, netbsd, openbsd.
651 [ISC-Bugs #36169]
5cc6f201 652
0e76cb91
TM
653- The server nows checks both the address and length of a prefix delegation
654 when attempting to match it to a prefix pool. This ensures the server
655 responds properly when pool configurations change such that once valid,
656 "in-pool" delegations are now treated as being invalid. During lease
657 file loading at startup, the server will discard any PD leases that
658 are deemed "out-of-pool" either by address or mis-matched prefix length.
659 Clients seeking to renew or rebind such leases will get a response of
660 No Binding in the case of the former, and the prefix delegation with
661 lifetimes set to zero in the case of the latter. Thanks to Mark Nejedlo
662 at TDS Telecom for reporting this issue.

665- Modified DDNS support initialization such that DNS related ports will only be
666 opened by the server (dhcpd) at startup if ddns-update-style is not "none";
667 by dhclient only if and when the it first attempts an update; and never by
668 dhcrelay. Prior to this all three always did the initialization at startup
669 which causes them to always open on and listen for traffic on two random
670 ports. Thanks to Rodney Beede for reporting this issue.

830- The Linux packet filter code now correctly treats only the least significant
831 12 bits in an inbound packet's TCI value as the VLAN id (per IEEE 802.1Q).
832 Prior to this it was using the entire 16 bit value as the VLAN id and
833 incorrectly discarding packets. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for
834 reporting this issue and supplying its patch.

854 section of the configure script output. Additionally, all of the
855 features reported on will now always show either a "yes" or "no"

860- Added a parameter, authoring-byte-order, to the lease file. This value
861 is automatically added to the top of new lease files by the server and
862 indicates the internal byte order (big endian or little endian) of the
863 server. This permits lease files generated on a server with one form of
864 byte order to be used on a server with the opposite form. Our thanks to

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

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

993- Add support for RFC 7341 DHCPv4 over DHCPv6 with a new configuration
994 option "--enable-dhcpv4o6". Note this feature requires DHCPv6 support
995 and is not compatible with delayed-ack. Both client and server use 2
996 processes which communicate over UDP on a pair of sockets. The new
997 "-4o6 <port>" command line argument enables DHCPv4 over DHCPv6 support
998 and specifies the consecutive ports to use for inter-process communication.

1032- The server now does a better check to see if it can allocate the memory
1033 for large blocks of v4 leases and should provide a slightly better error
1034 message. Note well: the server pre-allocates v4 addresses, if you use
1035 a large range, such as a /8, the server will attempt to use a large
1036 amount of memory and may not start if there either isn't enough memory
1037 or the size exceeds what the code supports.

1040- The server will now reject unicast Request, Renew, Decline, and Release
1041 messages from a client unless the server would have sent that client the
1042 dhcp6.unicast option. This behavior is in compliance with paragraph 1 in
1043 each of the sections 18.2,1, 18.2.3, 18.2.6, and 18.2.7 of RFC 3315. Prior
1044 to this, the server would simply accept the messages. Now, in order for
1045 the server to accept such a message, the server configuration must include
1046 the dhcp6.unicast option either globally or within the shared network to
1047 which the requested lease belongs. In other words, the server will map
1048 the first IA_XX address found within the client message to a shared-network
1049 and look for the presence of the unicast option there and then globally.
1050 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for this issue and his patch which

1066- Remove the dst directory. This was replaced in 4.2.0 with the dst
1067 code from the Bind libraries but we continued to include it for
1068 backwards compatibility. As we have now released 4.3.x it seems
1069 reasonable to remove it.
1070 [ISC-Buts #39019]

1072- Write out the DUID server id on startup in all cases, previously if it
1073 was read in from server-duid option in the config or lease files for
1074 DHCPv4 it would not be written to the new lease file.
1075 [ISC-Bugs #37791]
1076
1077- When parsing dates for leases convert dates past 2038 to "never".
1078 This avoids problems with integer overflows in the date and time
1079 handling code for people that decide to use very large lease times
1080 or add a lease entry with a date far in the future.

1096- Add support for accessing the v4 lease queues (active, free etc) in a
1097 binary fashion instead of needing to walk through a linear list to
1098 insert, find or remove an entry from the queues. In addition add a
1099 compile time option "--enable-binary-leases" to enable the new code
1100 or to continue using the old code. The old code is the default.
1101 Thanks to Fernando Soto from BlueCat Networks for the patch.

1103
1104- Delayed-ack now works properly with Failover. Prior to this, bind updates
1105 post startup were being queued but never delivered. Among other things, this
1106 was causing leases to not transition from expired or released to free.
1107 [ISC-Bugs #31474]

1109- Clean up parsing of v6 lease files a bit to avoid infinite loops if the
1110 lease file is corrupt in certain ways.

1115 for the bug report.
1116 [ISC-Bugs #38639]
1117
1118- Corrected an issue in v6 lease file parsing. Prior to this, when encountering
1119 a lease with an address for which no configured pool exists, the server was
1120 declaring the lease file corrupt and incorrectly skipping over the subsequent
1121 entry in the file. The server will now emit a log message indicating that
1122 no pool was found for the address (or prefix) and correctly resume parsing
1123 with the next entry in the lease file. Our thanks to Michal Žejdl for
1124 reporting the issue.
1125 [ISC-Bugs #39314]
1126
1127- Be more liberal in finding a subnet group associated with a static
1128 prefix. When we added the class matching code for v6 we also added
1129 a requirement that the static prefix must be within a subnet the
1130 client was in, in order to find the proper statements. We now
1131 look for a subnet based on the prefix, failing that on the static
1132 address for the client and failing that on the shared network
1133 itself.
1134 [ISC-Bugs #38329]
1135
1136- Add a new action expression "parse_vendor_options", which can be used
1137 to parse a vendor-encapsualted-option received by the server based on
1138 the encoding specified by the vendor-option-space statement.
1139 [ISC-Bugs #36449]
1140
1141- Enhance the PARANOIA patch to include fchown() the lease file to
1142 allow it to be manipulated after the server does a chown().
1143 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the patch.
1144 [ISC-Bugs #36978]
1145
1146- Relax the requirement that prefix pools must be within the subnet.
1147 This was added in as part of #32453 in order to avoid configuration
1148 mistakes but is being removed as prefixes aren't required to be
1149 within the same subnet and many people configure them in that fashion.
1150 [ISC-Bugs #40077]
1151
1152- Fixed a server crash that could occur when the server attempts to remove
1153 the billing class from the last lease billed to a dynamic class after said
1154 class has been deleted. Our thanks to Lasse Pesonen for reporting the
1155 issue.

1195 The error occurs on Linux variants that do not support VLAN tag information
1196 in packet auxiliary data. The configure script now only enables inclusion
1197 of the VLAN tag-based logic if it is supported by the underlying OS.

1204 incorrectly enabled debug features. Thanks to Gustavo Zacarias for reporting
1205 the issue.
1206 [ISC-Bugs #37780]
1207
1208- Unit test execution now uses a path augmented during configuration
1209 processing of the --with-atf option to locate ATF runtime tools, atf-run
1210 and atf-report. For most installations of ATF, this should alleviate the
1211 need to manually include them in the PATH, as was formerly required.
1212 If the configure script cannot locate the tools it will emit a warning,
1213 informing the user that the tools must be in the PATH when running unit
1214 tests.
1215 Secondly, please note that "make check" will now exit with a failure status
1216 code (non-zero) if one or more unit tests fail. This means that invoking
1217 "make check" from an upper level directory will cause the make process to
1218 STOP after the first test subdirectory with failed test(s). To force all
1219 tests in all subdirectories to run, regardless of individual test outcome,
1220 use the command "make -k check".

1253- Server now supports a failover split value of 256.
1254 [ISC-Bugs] #36664]
1255
1256- Remove unneeded error #defines. These defines were included in case
1257 external programs required the older versions of the macro. They
1258 have been #ifdeffed for now and will be removed at a future date.
1259 See site.h for the #define to include them again, but you should
1260 switch to using the DHCP_R_* versions instead of the ISC_R_* versions.
1261 Also ISC_R_MULTIPLE has been removed as it is also defined in bind.
1262 [ISC-Bugs #37128]
1263
1264- Added checks in range6 and prefix6 statement parsing to ensure addresses
1265 are within the declared subnet. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the
1266 bug report and patch.
1267 [ISC-Bugs #32453]
1268 [ISC-Bugs #17766]
1269 [ISC-Bugs #18510]
1270 [ISC-Bugs #23698]
1271 [ISC-Bugs #28883]
1272
1273- Addressed checksum issues:
1274 Added checksum readiness check to Linux packet filtering which eliminates
1275 invalid packet drops due to checksum errors when checksum offloading is
1276 in use. Based on dhcp-4.2.2-xen-checksum.patch made to the Fedora project.
1277 [ISC-Bugs #22806]
1278 [ISC-Bugs #15902]
1279 [ISC-Bugs #17739]
1280 [ISC-Bugs #18010]
1281 [ISC-Bugs #22556]
1282 [ISC-Bugs #29769]
1283 Inbound packets with UDP checksums of 0xffff now validate correctly rather
1284 than being dropped.
1285 [ISC-Bugs #24216]
1286 [ISC-Bugs #25587]
1287
1288- Added the echo-client-id configuration parameter to the server configuration.
1289 The server now supports RFC 6842 compliant behavior by setting a new
1290 configuration parameter, echo-client-id. When enabled, the server will
1291 include the client identifier option (Option code 61) if received, in its
1292 responses. The server identifier returned in NAKs (if enabled) will now
1293 be the globally defined value (if one) if the server cannot attribute the
1294 inbound request to a known subnet.
1295 [ISC-Bugs #35958]
1296 [ISC-Bugs #32545]
1297
1298- Added support of the configuration parameter, use-host-decl-names, to
1299 BOOTP request handling.
1300 [ISC-Bugs #36233]
1301
1302- Added logic to ignore the signal, SIGPIPE, which ensures write failures
1303 will be delivered as errors rather than as SIGPIPE signals on all OSs.
1304 Thanks to Marius Tomaschewski from SUSE who reported the issue and provided
1305 the patch upon which the fix is based.
1306 [ISC-Bugs #32222]
1307
1308- In the failover code, handle the case of communications being interrupted
1309 when the servers are dealing with POTENTIAL-CONFLICT. This patch allows
1310 the primary to accept the secondary moving from POTENTIAL-CONFLICT to
1311 RESOLUTION-INTERRUPTED as well as handling the bind update process better.
1312 In addition the code to resend update or update all requests has been
1313 modified to send requests more often.
1314 [ISC-Bugs #36810]
1315 [ISC-Bugs #20352]
1316
1317- By default, the server will now choose the value to use in the forward DNS
1318 name from the following in order of preference:
1319
1320 1. FQDN option if provided by the client
1321 2. Host name option if provided by the client
1322 3. Configured option host-name if defined
1323
1324 As before, this may be overridden by defining ddns-hostname to the desired
1325 value (or expression). In addition, the server logic has been extended to
1326 use the value of the host name declaration if use-host-decl-names is enabled
1327 and no other value is available.
1328 [ISC-Bugs #21323]
1329
1330- DNS updates were being attempted when dhcp-cache-threshold enabled the use of
1331 the existing lease and the forward DNS name had not changed. This has been
1332 corrected.
1333 [ISC-Bugs #37368]
1334 [ISC-Bugs #38636]
1335
1336- Corrected an issue which caused dhclient to incorrectly form the result when
1337 prepending or appending to the IPv4 domain-search option, received from the
1338 server, when either of the values being combined contain compressed
1339 components.
1340 [ISC-Bugs #20558]
1341
1342- Added the server-id-check parameter to the server configuration.
1343 This parameter allows run-time control over whether or not a server,
1344 participating in failover, verifies the dhcp-server-identifier option in
1345 DHCP REQUESTs against the server's id before processing the request.
1346 Formerly, enabling this behavior was done at compilation time through
1347 the use of the #define, SERVER_ID_CHECK, which has been removed from site.h
1348 The functionality is now only available through the new runtime parameter.
1349 [ISC-Bugs #37551]
1350
1351- During startup, when the server encounters a lease whose binding state is
1352 FTS_BACKUP but whose pool has no configured failover peer, it will reset the
1353 lease's binding state to FTS_FREE. This allows the leases to be reclaimed
1354 by the server after a pool's configuration has changed from failover to
1355 standalone. Prior to this such leases would remain stuck in the backup state
1356 making them unavailable for assignment. Note this conversion will occur
1357 whether or not the server is compiled for failover.
1358 [ISC-Bugs #36960]
1359
1360- Fixed a small issue in the treatment of hosts in the inform processing
1361 that could cause the response to an inform to include information from
1362 the wrong scope. The two examples we've heard of are getting subnet
1363 instead of group information associated with a host entry, or getting
1364 global information instead of subnet if the host entry was built via
1365 omapi. Thanks to Julien Soula at University of Lille for finding the
1366 bug and supplying a patch.
1367 [ISC-Bugs #35712]
1368
1369- Avoid calling pool_timer() recursively from supersede_lease(). This could
1370 result in leases changing state incorrectly or delaying the running of the
1371 leae expiration code.
1372 [ISC-Bugs #38002]
1373
1374- Move the check for a PID file and process to be before we rewrite the
1375 lease file. This avoids the possibility of starting a second instance
1376 of a server which changes the current lease file confusing the first
1377 instance. This check is only included if the admin hasn't disabled PID
1378 files.
1379 [ISC-Bugs #38078]
1380 [ISC-Bugs #38143]
1381
1382- In the client code change the way preferred_life and max_life are printed
1383 for environment variables to be unsigned rather than signed.
1384 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the bug report and patch.
1385 [ISC-Bugs #37084]
1386
1387- Modified Linux packet handling such that packets received via VLAN are now
1388 seen only by the VLAN interface. Prior to this, such packets were seen by
1389 both the VLAN interface and its parent (physical) interface, causing the
1390 server to respond to both. Note this remains an issue for non-Linux OSs.
1391 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the patch.
1392 [ISC-Bugs #37415]
1393 [ISC-Bugs #37133]
1394 [ISC-Bugs #36668]
1395 [ISC-Bugs #36652]
1396
1397- Log content has been changed to more directly suggest that admins should
1398 check for multiple IPv6 clients attempting to use the same DUID when only
1399 abandoned addresses are available. Debug level logging will now emit counts
1400 of the total number of, in-use, and abandoned addresses in a shared subnet
1401 when the server finds no addresses available for a given DUID. Lastly,
1402 threshold logging is now automatically disabled for shared subnets whose
1403 total number of possible addresses exceeds (2^64)-1.
1404 [ISC-Bugs #26376]
1405 [ISC-Bugs #38131]
1406
1407- Added a global parameter, prefix-length-mode, which may be used to determine
1408 how the server uses a non-zero value for prefix-length supplied by clients
1409 when soliciting DHCPv6 prefixes. The server supports selection modes of:
1410 ignore, prefer, exact, minimum and maximum which are described in detail in
1411 the server man pages. The prior behavior of the server was to only offer a
1412 prefix whose length exactly matched the prefix-length value requested. If
1413 no such prefixes were available, the server returned a status of none
1414 available. Note the default mode, "exact", provides this same behavior.
1415 [ISC-Bugs #36780]
1416 [ISC-Bugs #32228]
1417
1418- Corrected inconsistencies in dhcrelay's setting the upper interface hop count
1419 limit such that it now sets it to 32 when the upstream address is a multicast
1420 address per RFC 3315 Section 20. Prior to this if the -u argument preceded
1421 the -l argument on the command line or if the same interface was specified
1422 for both; the logic to set the hop limit count for the upper interface was
1423 skipped. This caused the hop count limit to be set to the default value
1424 (typically 1) in the outbound upstream packets.
1425 [ISC-Bugs #37426]
1426
1427 Changes since 4.3.1b1
1428
1429- Modify the linux and openwrt dhclient scripts to process information
1430 from a stateless request. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the
1431 bug report and patch.
1432 [ISC-Bugs #36102]
01a44a77 1433
0e76cb91
TM
1434- Remove more unused RCSID tags. These weren't noticed in 4.3 as
1435 the code isn't used anymore but we remove them here to keep the
1436 code consistent across versions.
1437 [ISC-Bugs #36451]
01a44a77 1438
0e76cb91 1439 Changes since 4.3.0
01a44a77 1440
0e76cb91
TM
1441- Tidy up several small tickets.
1442 Correct parsing of DUID from config file, previously the LL type
1443 was put in the wrong place in the DUID string.
1444 [ISC-Bugs #20962]
1445 Add code to parse "do-forward-updates" as well as "do-forward-update"
1446 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat.
1447 [ISC-Bugs #31328]
1448 Remove log_priority as it isn't currently used.
1449 [ISC-Bugs #33397]

01a44a77 1455
0e76cb91
TM
1456- Add a more understandable error message if a configuration attempts
1457 to add multiple keys for a single zone. Thanks to a patch from Jiri
1458 Popelka at Red Hat.
1459 [ISC-Bugs #31892]

0e76cb91
TM
1467- Update the partner's stos (start time of state, basically when we last
1468 heard from this partner) field when updating the state in failover.
1469 [ISC-Bugs #35549]
9b7d458d 1470
0e76cb91
TM
1471- Modify the overload processing to allow space for the remote agent ID.
1472 [ISC-Bugs #35569]
1473 Handle the ordering of the SUBNET_MASK option even if it is the last
1474 option in the list.
1475 [ISC-Bugs #24580]
9b7d458d 1476
0e76cb91
TM
1477- Remove the code that allows a server to follow RFC3315 instead of
1478 the subsequent errata from August 2010 when determining which IAs
1479 to include if no addresses will be assigned.
1480 [ISC-Bugs #28938]
2c8a396a 1481

TM
1485- Correct the v6 client timing code. When doing the timing backoff
1486 for MRT limit it to MRD.
1487 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the bug report and fix.
1488 [ISC-Bugs #21238
66e80033 1489
0e76cb91
TM
1490- Add a log entry when killing a client and remove the PID files
1491 when a server, relay or client are killed.
1492 [ISC-Bugs #16970]
1493 [ISC-Bugs #17258]
9b7d458d 1494
0e76cb91
TM
1495- Some minor cleanups in the client code.
1496 In addition to checking for dhcpc check for bootpc in the services list.
1497 [ISC-Bugs #18933]
1498 Correct the client code to only try to get a lease once when the
1499 given the "-1" argument.
1500 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the bug report and fix.
1501 [ISC-Bugs #26735]
1502 When asked for the version don't send the output to syslog.
1503 [ISC-Bugs #29772]
1504 Add the next server information to the environment variables for
1505 use by the client script. In order to avoid changing the client
1506 lease file the next server information isn't written to it.
1507 Thanks to Tomas Hozza at Red Hat for the suggestion and a prototype fix.
1508 [ISC-Bugs #33098]
e191f1e8 1509
0e76cb91
TM
1510- Several updates to the dhcp server code.
1511 When not in quiet mode print out the files being used.
1512 [ISC-Bugs #17551]
1513 As accessing some pid files may require privileges move the dropping
1514 of permission bits due to the paranoia patch to be after the pid code.
1515 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the bug report and fix.
1516 [ISC-Bugs #25806]
1517 When processing a "--version" request don't output the version information
1518 to syslog.
9b7d458d 1519
0e76cb91
TM
1520- Add the "enable-log-pid" build option to the configure script. When enabled
1521 this causes the client, server and relay programs to include the PID
1522 number in syslog messages.
1523 Thanks to Marius Tomaschewski for the suggestion and proto-patch.
1524 [ISC-Bugs #29713]
9b7d458d 1525
0e76cb91
TM
1526- Add a #define to specify the prefix length used when a client attempts
1527 to configure an address. This can be modified by editing includes/site.h.
1528 By default it is set to 64. While 128 might be a better choice it would
1529 also be a change for currently running systems, so we have left it at 64.
1530 [ISC-Bugs #DHCP-2]
9b7d458d 1531
0e76cb91
TM
1532- Add a run time option to the client "-df" to allow the administrator to
1533 point to a second lease file the client can search for a DUID. This can
1534 be used to allow a v4 and a v6 instance of the client to share a DUID.
1535 The second file will only be searched if there isn't a DUID in the main
1536 lease file and the DUID will be written out to the main lease file.
1537 [ISC-Bugs #34886]
9b7d458d 1538
0e76cb91
TM
1539- Have the client fsync the lease file to avoid lease corruption if the
1540 client hibernates or otherwise shuts down.
1541 [ISC-Bugs #35894]
9b7d458d 1542
0e76cb91
TM
1543- Add a check for L2VLAN in bpf.c to help support VLAN interfaces
1544 Thanks to Steinar Haug for the suggestion.
1545 [ISC-Bugs #36033]
ece2d9da 1546
0e76cb91
TM
1547- Modify the handling of the resolv.conf file to allow the DHCP
1548 process to start up even if the resolv.conf file has problems.
1549 [ISC-Bugs #35989]
ab777749 1550
0e76cb91
TM
1551- Add threshold logging functionality. Two new options,
1552 log-threshold-low and log-threshold-high, indicate to the
1553 server if and when it should log an error message as addresses
1554 in a pool are used.
1555 [ISC-Bugs #34487]
6ec59010 1556
0e76cb91
TM
1557- Add code to properly dereference a pointer in the dhclient code
1558 on an error condition.

1580- Modify the message displayed when a process hits a fatal error.
1581 The new message is much shorter and simply points to the README
1582 and our website for directions on bug submissions.
1583 [ISC-Bugs #24789]
1a6b62fe 1584
6980ae03 1585 Changes since 4.2.0 (new features)
51b8a8a0
SR
1586
1587- If a client renews before 'dhcp-cache-threshold' percent of its lease
1588 has elapsed (default 25%), the server will reuse the allocated lease
1589 (provide a lease within the currently allocated lease-time) rather
1590 than extend or renew the lease. This absolves the server of needing
1591 to perform an fsync() operation on the lease database before reply,
1592 which improves performance. [ISC-Bugs #22228]
80778e94 1593 Updated this patch to support asynchronous DDNS. If the server is
adb95d23 1594 attempting to do DDNS on a lease it should be updated and written to
4809ef5c 1595 disk even if that wouldn't be necessary due to the thresholding.
8cd88e20 1596 [ISC-Bugs #26311]
51b8a8a0 1597
6980ae03
SR
1598- The 'no available billing' log line now also logs the name of the last
1599 matching billing class tried before failing to provide a billing.
1600 [ISC-Bugs #21759]
1601
32e651c4
SR
1602- A problem with missing get_hw_addr function when --enable-use-sockets
1603 was used is now solved on GNU/Linux, BSD and GNU/Hurd systems. Note
1604 that use-sockets feature was not tested on those systems. Client and
1605 server code no longer use MAX_PATH constant that is not defined on
3cb6f9bb 1606 GNU/Hurd systems. [ISC-Bugs #25979]
32e651c4 1607
67418698
SR
1608- Add a perl script in the contrib directory, dhcp-lease-list.pl, which
1609 can parse v4 lease files and output the lease information in a more
1610 human friendly manner. This was written by Christian Hammers with
1611 some updates by vom and ISC. This is contributed code and is not
1612 supported by ISC; however it may be useful to some users.
1613 [ISC-Bugs #20680]
1614
a7341359 1615- Add support in v6 for on-commit, on-expire and on-release.
4809ef5c 1616 [ISC-Bugs #27912]
a7341359 1617
01fa619f
SR
1618- Add support for using classes with v6.
1619 [ISC-Bugs #26510]
1620
d7d9c0c7
SR
1621- Update the DDNS code to current standards and allow for sharing
1622 of DDNS entries between v4 and v6 clients. The new code is used
1623 if the ddns-update-style is set to "standard", the older code is
1624 still available if ddns-update-style is set to "interim". The
1625 oldest DDNS code "ad-hoc" has been removed. Thanks to Thomas Pegeot
1626 who submitted a patch for this issue. This patch is based on
1627 that work with some modifications.
64fb661c 1628 [ISC-Bugs #21139]
1534fff7 1629
cde11a4c
SR
1630- Add a configuration option to the server to suppress using fsync().
1631 Enabling this option will mean that fsync() is never called. This
1632 may provide better performance but there is also a risk that a lease
1633 will not be properly written to the disk after it has been issued
1634 to a client and before the server stops. Using this option is
1635 not recommended.
64fb661c 1636 [ISC-Bugs #34810]
cde11a4c 1637
f88446f1
SR
1638- Add some logging statements to indicate when the server is ready
1639 to serve. One statement is emitted after the server has finished
1640 reading its files and is about to enter the dispatch loop.
1641 This is "Server starting service.".
1642 The second is emitted when a server determines that both it and
1643 its failover peer are in the normal state.
1644 This is "failover peer <name>: Both servers normal."
64fb661c 1645 [ISC-Bugs #33208]
f88446f1 1646
619304cd
SR
1647- Add support for accessing options from v6 relays. The v6relay
1648 statement allows the administrator to choose which relay to
1649 use when searching for an option, see the dhcp-options man page
6b9c9f87
SR
1650 for a description. The host-identifier option has also been
1651 updated to support the use of relay options, see the dhcpd.conf
619304cd
SR
1652 man page for a description.
1653 [ISC-Bugs #19598]
1654
e54ff84f 1655- When doing DDNS if there isn't an appropriate zone statement attempt
80778e94 1656 to find a reasonable nameserver via a DNS resolver. This restores
e54ff84f
SR
1657 some functionality that was lost in the transition to asynchronous
1658 DDNS. Due to the lack of security and increase in fragility of the
1659 system when using this feature we strongly recommend the use of
1660 appropriate zone statements rather than using this functionality.
1661 [ISC-Bugs #30461]
1662
61ef216b

1663- Add support for specifying the address from which to send
1664 DDNS updates on the DHCP server. There are two new options
1665 "ddns-local-address4" and "ddns-local-address6" that each take
1666 one instance of their respective address types.

SR
1669- Add ignore-client-uids option in the server. This option causes
1670 the server to not record a client's uid in its lease. This
1671 violates the specification but may also be useful when a client
1672 can dual boot using different client ids but the same mac address.

8ee352ee 1692
01a44a77
SR
1693- When using 'ignore client-updates;', the FQDN returned to the client
1694 is no longer truncated to one octet.
8ee352ee 1695
01a44a77 1696- Cleaned up an unused hardware address variable in nak_lease().
4889a646 1697

SR
1698- Manpage entries for the ia-pd and ia-prefix options were updated to
1699 reflect support for prefix delegation.

01a44a77 1701- Cleaned up some compiler warnings
7dc4e69c 1702
01a44a77
SR
1703- An optimization described in the failover protocol draft is now included,
1704 which permits a DHCP server operating in communications-interrupted state
1705 to 'rewind' a lease to the state most recently transmitted to its peer,
1706 greatly increasing a server's endurance in communications-interrupted.
1707 This is supported using a new 'rewind state' record on the dhcpd.leases
1708 entry for each lease.
c5bc8b1a 1709
01a44a77 1710- Fix the trace code which was broken by the changes to the DDNS code.
d0a10f6a 1711
01a44a77
SR
1712- Update the fsync code to work with the changes to the DDNS code. It now
1713 uses a timer instead of noticing if there are no more packets to process.
dc9d7b08 1714
01a44a77
SR
1715- When constructing the DNS name structure from a text string append
1716 the root to relative names. This satisfies a requirement in the DNS
1717 library that names be absolute instead of relative and prevents DHCP
1718 from crashing. [ISC-Bugs #21054]
a24b9f23 1719
01a44a77
SR
1720- "The LDAP Patch" that has been circulating for some time, written by
1721 Brian Masney and S.Kalyanasundraram and maintained for application to
1722 the DHCP-4 sources by David Cantrell has been included. Please be
1723 advised that these sources were contributed, and do not yet meet the
1724 high standards we place on production sources we include by default.
1725 As a result, the LDAP features are only included by using a compile-time
1726 option which defaults off, and if you enable it you do so under your
1727 own recognizance. We will be improving this software over time.

SR
1733! Accept a client id of length 0 while hashing. Previously the server would
1734 exit if it attempted to hash a zero length client id, providing attackers
1735 with a simple denial of service attack. [ISC-Bugs #21253]

SR
1740- Modify the exception handling for initial context creation. Previously
1741 we would try and clean up before exiting. This could present problems
1742 when the cleanup required part of the context that wasn't available. It
1743 also didn't do much as we exited afterwards anyway. Now we simply log
1744 the error and exit. [ISC-Bugs #21093]
ad4001ce 1745
01a44a77
SR
1746- A bug was fixed that could cause the DHCPv6 server to advertise/assign a
1747 previously allocated (active) lease to a client that has changed subnets,
1748 despite being on different shared networks. Dynamic prefixes specifically
1749 allocated in shared networks also now are not offered if the client has
1750 moved. [ISC-Bugs #21152]

SR
1757- Modify the determination of the default TTL to use for DDNS updates.
1758 The user may still configure the ttl via ddns-ttl. The default for
1759 both v4 and v6 is now 1/2 the (preferred) lease time with a limit. The
1760 previous defaults (1/2 lease time without a limit for v4 and a default
1761 value for v6) may be used by defining USE_OLD_DDNS_TTL in site.h

1875- Handle pipe failures more gracefully. Some OSes pass a SIGPIPE
1876 signal to a process and will kill the process if the signal isn't

1964- 'dhclient' no longer waits a random interval after first starting up to
1965 begin in the INIT state. This conforms to RFC 2131, but elects not to
9a111ee8 1966 implement a 'SHOULD' direction in section 4.1. The goal of this change

1975- ICMP ping-check should now sit closer to precisely the number of seconds
1976 configured (or default 1), due to making use of the new microsecond

1982 microseconds if the DHCP server provided a lease-time that would result
1983 in sub-1-second timers. This corrects a bug where a 2-second or lower

2030- Minor code cleanups - but note port change for #23196
2031 [ISC-Bugs #23470] - Modify when an ignore return macro is defined to
2032 handle unsed error return warnings for more versions of gcc.
2033 [ISC-Bugs #23196] - Modify the reply handling in the server code to
2034 send to a specified port rather than to the source port for the incoming
2035 message. Sending to the source port was test code that should have
2036 been removed. The previous functionality may be restored by defining

2118! Modify the DDNS handling code. In a previous patch we added logging
2119 code to the DDNS handling. This code included a bug that caused it
2120 to attempt to dereference a NULL pointer and eventually segfault.
2121 While reviewing the code as we addressed this problem, we determined
2122 that some of the updates to the lease structures would not work as
2123 planned since the structures being updated were in the process of
2124 being freed: these updates were removed. In addition we removed an
2125 incorrect call to the DDNS removal function that could cause a failure
2126 during the removal of DDNS information from the DNS server.

2229! Previously the server code was relaxed to allow packets with zero
2230 length client ids to be processed. Under some situations use of
2231 zero length client ids can cause the server to go into an infinite
2232 loop. As such ids are not valid according to RFC 2132 section 9.14
2233 the server no longer accepts them. Client ids with a length of 1
2234 are also invalid but the server still accepts them in order to
2235 minimize disruption. The restriction will likely be tightened in
2236 the future to disallow ids with a length of 1.

DH
2399- Failover port configuration can now be left to defaults (port 647) as
2400 described in the -12 revision of the Failover draft (and assigned by
4b97eaff 2401 IANA). Thanks in part to a patch from David Cantrell at Red Hat.
adbef119 2402
0829d595
DH
2403- If configured, dhclient may now transmit to an anycast MAC address,
2404 rather than using a broadcast address. Thanks to a patch from David
2405 Cantrell at Red Hat.
2406
8a3c1e33
PS
2407- Added client support for setting interface MTU and metric, thanks to
2408 Roy "UberLord" Marples <roy@marples.name>.
2409
a41d7a25
PS
2410- Added client -D option to specify DUID type to send.
2411
9e3eb22a
DH
2412- A new failover configuration parameter has been introduced for those
2413 environments where DHCP servers can be reasonably guaranteed to be
2414 "down" when the failover TCP socket is severed, "auto-partner-down".
2415 This parameter is not generally safe, and by default is disabled, so
2416 please carefully review the documentation of this parameter in the
2417 dhcpd.conf(5) manpage before determining to use it yourself.
2418
33ea4622
DH
2419- Added a configuration function, 'gethostname()', which calls the system
2420 function of the same name and presents the results as a data expression.
2421 This function can be used to incorporate the system level hostname of
2422 the system the DHCP software is operating on in responses or queries (such
2423 as including a failover partner's hostname in a dhcp message or binding
2424 scope, or having a DHCP client send any system hostname in the host-name or
2425 FQDN options by default).
2426
5a671e87
DH
2427- The dhcp-renewal-time and dhcp-rebinding-time options may now be configured
2428 for DHCPv4 operation and used independently of the dhcp-lease-time
2429 calculations. Invalid renew and rebinding times (e.g., greater than the
2430 determined lease time) are omitted.
2431
adb95d23 2432- Processing the DHCP to DNS server transactions in an asynchronous fashion,
45adf35c 2433 the DHCP server or client can now continue with its processing while
98bf1607 2434 awaiting replies from the DNS server.
c900c5b2
DH
2435
2436- The 'hardware [ethernet|etc] ...;' parameter in host records has been
2437 extended to attempt to match DHCPv6 clients by the last octets of a
2438 DUID-LL or DUID-LLT provided by the client.

SR
2444- Validate the argument to the -p option.
2445
47e6eb82
DH
2446- The notorious 'option <unknown> ... larger than buffer' log line,
2447 which is seen in some malformed DHCP client packets, was modified.
2448 It now logs the universe name, and does not log the length values
2449 (which are bogus corruption read from the packet anyway). It also
2450 carries a hopefully more useful explanation.
2451
159c89d7
EH
2452- Suppress spurious warnings from configure about --datarootdir
2453
1aa0fe5e
DH
2454- A bug was fixed that caused the server not to answer some valid Solicit
2455 and Request packets, if the dynamic range covering any requested addresses
2456 had been deleted from configuration.
2457
cd51403d
SR
2458- Update the code to deal with GCC 4.3. This included two sets of changes.
2459 The first is to the configuration files to include the use of
571c38b0 2460 AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS. The second is to deal with return values that
cd51403d
SR
2461 were being ignored.

DH
2463- The db-time-format option was documented in manpages.

2465- Using reserved leases no longer results in 'lease with binding state
2466 free not on its queue' error messages, thanks to a patch from Frode
2467 Nordahl.

70ea9345
PS
2469- Fix a build error in dhcrelay, using older versions of gcc with
2470 dhcpv6 disabled.
2471
8d7dca58 2472- Two uninitialized stack structures are now memset to zero, thanks to a
4b97eaff 2473 patch from David Cantrell at Red Hat.
819186b7 2474
f4534b17
DH
2475- Fixed a cosmetic bug where pretty-printing valid domain-search options would
2476 result in an erroneous error log message ('garbage in format string').
2477
f9453d21
DH
2478- A bug in DLPI packet transmission (Solaris, HP/UX) that caused the server
2479 to stop receiving packets is fixed. The same fix also means that the MAC
2480 address will no longer appear 'bogus' on DLPI-based systems.
2481
2482- A bug in select handling was discovered where the results of one select()
2483 call were discarded, causing the server to process the next select() call
2484 and use more system calls than required. This has been repaired - the
2485 sockets will be handled after the first return from select(), resulting in
2486 fewer system calls.
2487
a3dcc0b1
DH
2488- The update-conflict-detection feature would leave an FQDN updated without
2489 a DHCID (still currently implemented as a TXT RR). This would cause later
2490 expiration or release events to fail to remove the domain name. The feature
2491 now also inserts the client's up to date DHCID record, so records may safely
2492 be removed at expiration or release time. Thanks to a patch submitted by
2493 Christof Chen.
2494
95fd7038
DH
2495- Memory leak in the load_balance_mine() function is fixed. This would
2496 leak ~20-30 octets per DHCPDISCOVER packet while failover was in use
2497 and in normal state.
2498
2499- Various compilation fixes have been included for the memory related
2500 DEBUG #defines in includes/site.h.
2501
8a3c1e33
PS
2502- Fixed Linux client script 'unary operator expected' errors with DHCPv6.
2503
2504- Fixed setting hostname in Linux hosts that require hostname argument
2505 to be double-quoted. Also allow server-provided hostname to
2506 override hostnames 'localhost' and '(none)'.
2507
dedde1ba
DH
2508- Fixed failover reconnection retry code to continue to retry to reconnect
2509 rather than restarting the listener.
2510
a57df74a
DH
2511- Compilation on Solaris with USE_SOCKETS defined in includes/site.h has
2512 been repaired. Other USE_ overrides should work better.
2513
2514- A check for the local flavor of IFNAMSIZ had a broken 'else' condition,
2515 that probably still resulted in the correct behaviour (but wouldn't use
2516 a larger defined value provided by the host OS).
2517
350576c5
DH
2518- Fixed a bug where an OMAPI socket disconnection message would not result
2519 in scheduling a failover reconnection, if the link had not negotiated a
2520 failover connect yet (e.g.: connection refused, asynch socket connect()
2521 timeouts).
2522
792156a9
DH
2523- A bug was fixed that caused the 'conflict-done' state to fail to be parsed
2524 in failover state records.
2525
8a4e543b
DH
2526! A stack overflow vulnerability was fixed in dhclient that could allow
2527 remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands as root on the system,
2528 or simply terminate the client, by providing an over-long subnet-mask
1b12d999 2529 option. CERT VU#410676 - CVE-2009-0692
8a4e543b 2530
a1308b64
DH
2531- Fixed a bug where relay agent options would never be returned when
2532 processing a DHCPINFORM.
2533
1b12d999
DH
2534- Versions 3.0.x syntax with multiple name->code option definitions is now
2535 supported. Note that, similarly to 3.0.x, for by-code lookups only the
2536 last option definition is used.
2537
d453265f
PS
2538- Fixed a bug where a time difference of greater than 60 seconds between a
2539 failover pair could cause the primary to crash on contact with the
2540 secondary. Thanks to a patch from Steinar Haug.
2541
3e29af1e
PS
2542- Don't look for IPv6 interfaces on Linux when running in DHCPv4 mode.
2543 Thanks to patches from Matthew Newton and David Cantrell.
2544
b8d45c67
DH
2545- Secondary servers in a failover pair will now perform ddns removals if
2546 they had performed ddns updates on a lease that is expiring, or was
2547 released through the primary. As part of the same fix, stale binding scopes
2548 will now be removed if a change in identity of a lease's active client is
2549 detected, rather than simply if a lease is noticed to have expired (which it
2550 may have expired without a failover server noticing in some situations).
2551
583c1c16
DH
2552- A patch supplied by David Cantrell at RedHat was applied that detects
2553 invalid calling parameters given to the ns_name_ntop() function.
2554 Specifically, it detects if the caller passed a pointer and size pair
2555 that causes the pointer to integer-wrap past zero.
2556
e4e3a2ab
DH
2557! Fixed a fenceposting bug when a client had two host records configured,
2558 one using 'uid' and the other using 'hardware ethernet'. CVE-2009-1892
95f5d38c 2559
875e99dc
SR
2560- Fixed the check in the dhcp_interface_signal_handler routine to verify
2561 the existence of the linked signal handler before calling it.
2562
2267da84
DH
2563- Both host and subnet6 configuration groups are now included whether a
2564 fixed-address6 (DHCPv6) is in use or not. Host scoped configuration takes
2565 precedence. This fixes two bugs, one where host scoped configuration
2566 would not be included from a non-fixed-address6 host record, and the equal
2567 and opposite bug where subnet6 scoped configuration would not be used when
571c38b0 2568 over-riding values were not present in a matching fixed-address6 host
2267da84
DH
2569 configuration.
2570
cd3f0b9b
DH
2571- ./configure now checks to ensure the intX_t and u_intX_t types are defined,
2572 correcting a compilation failure when using Sun's compiler.
2573
0493fdca
SR
2574- Modified the handling of a connection to avoid releasing the omapi io
2575 object for the connection while it is still in use. One symptom from
2576 this error was a segfault when a failover secondary attempted to connect
2577 to the failover primary if their clocks were not synchronized.
2578
95bba8b6
SR
2579- Clean up to allow compilation with gcc 2.95.4 on FreeBSD. Remove an
2580 extra semi-colon from common/dns.c and moved setting a variable to NULL
2581 in server/dhcpv6.c to allow the compiler to decide that the variable
9a111ee8 2582 was always properly set.
95bba8b6 2583
adbef119 2584 Changes since 4.1.0b1
ebf076fe
EH

2586- A missing "else" in dhcrelay.c could have caused an interface not to
2587 be recognized.
61d75ea2 2588
a4ffedd1
DH
2589 Changes since 4.1.0a2
2590
2591- A cosmetic bug in DHCPDECLINE processing was fixed which caused all
2592 successful DHCPDECLINEs to be logged as "not found" rather than
2593 "abandoned".
2594
6ff3b26d
FD
2595- Added configuration file examples for DHCPv6.
2596
1387545f
DH
2597- Some failover debugging #defines have been better defined and some
2598 high frequency messages moved to a deeper debugging symbol.
2599
2600- The CLTT parameter in failover is now only updated by client activity,
2601 and not by failover binding updates (taking on the peer's CLTT).
2602
2603- Failover BNDUPD messages are now discarded if they conflict with an
d7ac7a27 2604 update that has been transmitted, but not acknowledged.
1387545f 2605
399d3dbe
DH
2606- A bug cleaning up unknown-xxx temporary option definitions was fixed.
2607
fbcee149
DH
2608- Delayed-ack is now a compile-time option, compiled out by default.
2609 This feature is simply too experimental for right now, and causes
2610 some problems to some failover installations. We will revisit this
2611 in future releases.
2612
f1672d89
DH
2613- The !inet_pton() call in res_mkupdrec was adjusted to '<= 0' as
2614 inet_pton returns either 1, 0, or -1.
2615
236d3a99
DH
2616- A dhclient-script for MacOS X has been included, which enables
2617 'dhclient -6' support.
2618
efa5e6b9
DH
2619- DDNS removal routines were updated so that the DHCID is not removed until
2620 the client has been deprived of all A and AAAA records (not only the last
2621 one of either of those). This resolves a bug where dual stack clients
2622 would not be able to regain their names after either expiration event.
2623
7d6180be 2624 Changes since 4.1.0a1
edcb5c46
EH
2625
2626- Corrected list of failover state values in dhcpd man page.

51e7687f
EH
2628- Fixed a bug that caused some request types to be logged incorrectly.
2629
20210a7b
EH
2630- Clients that sent a parameter request list containing the
2631 routers option before the subnet mask option were receiving
2632 only the latter. Fixed.
2633
535485df
EH
2634- The server wasn't always sending the FQDN option when it should.
2635
8fbb55ff
DH
2636- A partner-down failover server no longer emits 'peer holds all free leases'
2637 if it is able to newly-allocate one of the peer's leases.
2638
61220a00
EH
2639- Fixed a coredump when adding a class via OMAPI.
2640
c40e954c
EH
2641- Check whether files are zero length before trying to parse them.
2642
63971a83
DH
2643- Ari Edelkind's PARANOIA patch has been included and may be compiled in
2644 via two ./configure parameters, --enable-paranoia and
2645 --enable-early-chroot.
2646
66cebfcb
DH
2647- ./configure was extended to cover many optional build features, such
2648 as failover, server tracing, debugging, and the execute() command.
2649
f8cbf390
DH
2650- There is now a default 1/4 of a second scheduled delay between delayed
2651 fsync()'s, it can be configured by the max-ack-delay configuration
2652 parameter.
2653
8269561d
DH
2654- A bug was fixed where the length of a hostname was miscalculated, so that
2655 hosts were given odd-looking domain names ("foo.bar.ba.example.com").
2656
b445a411
DH
2657- Shared network selection should be done from the innermost relay
2658 valid link-address field, rather than the outermost.
2659
bd72740e
FD
2660- Prefix pools are attached to shared network scopes.
2661
9322442f
FD
2662- Merged IA_XX related structures.
2663
8dea7ba7
FD
2664- Add DHCPv6 files in configure.
2665
4619c0a2
DH
2666- A memory leak when using omapi has been fixed.
2667
9ac4206a
DH
2668- DHCPv6 vendor-class options (VSIO) are now only sent when they appear
2669 on the DHCPv6 ORO. This resolves a bug where VSIO options were placed
2670 in IA_NA encapsulated options fields.
2671
420d8b3f
FD
2672- Integrated client with stateless, temporary address and prefix delegation
2673 support.
2674
40ec5f38
DH
2675- A double-dereference in dhclient transmission of DHCPDECLINEs was
2676 repaired.
2677
80097764
FD
2678- Fix handling of format code 'Z'.
2679
ffbaa880
FD
2680- Support "-1" argument in DHCPv6.
2681
7de20a95
EH
2682- Merge DHCPv6-only "dhcrelay6" into general-purpose "dhcrelay" (use
2683 "-6" option to select DHCPv6 mode).
2684
d352732e
EH
2685- Fix handling of -A and -a flags in dhcrelay; it was failing to expand
2686 packet size as needed to add relay agent options.
2687
7d6180be
DH
2688- A bug in subnet6 parsing where options contained in subnet6 clauses would
2689 not be applied to clients addressed within that network was repaired.
2690
2691- When configuring a "subnet {}" or "subnet6 {}" without an explicit
2692 shared-network enclosing it, the DHCP software would synthesize a
2693 shared-network to contain the subnet. However, all configuration
2694 parameters within the subnet more intuitively belong "to any client
2695 on that interface", or rather the synthesized shared-network. So,
2696 when a shared-network is synthesized, it is used to contain the
2697 configuration present inside the subnet {} clause. This means that
2698 the configuration will be valid for all clients on that network, not
2699 just those addressed out of the stated subnet. If you intended the
2700 opposite, the workaround is to explicitly configure an empty
2701 shared-network.
2702
2703- A bug was fixed where Information-Request processing was not sourcing
2704 configured option values.
2705
2706- A warning was added since the DHCPv6 processing software does not yet
2707 support class statements.
2708
adb95d23 2709- Compilation warnings on GCC 4.3 relating to bootp source address
dd484ced
DH
2710 selection were repaired.
2711
ecddae64
DH
2712- The v6 BSD socket method was updated to use a single UDP BSD socket
2713 no matter how many interfaces are involved, differentiating the
2714 interfaces the packets were received on by the interface index supplied
2715 by the OS.
2716
2717- The relay agent no longer listens to the All DHCP Servers Multicast
2718 address.
2719
2720- A bug was fixed in data_string_sprintfa() where va_start was only called
2721 once for two invocations of vsprintf() variants.
2722
d104d45b
DH
2723- ERO (RFC 4994) server support.
2724
2725- Basic and partial DHCPv6 leasequery support.
2726
2727- Reliable DHCPv6 release (previous behavior, send release and exit, is
2728 still available with dhclient -6 -1 -r).
2729
01a54c17 2730 Changes since 4.0.0 (new features)
3c12f746 2731
6d7f9584
FD
2732- Added DHCPv6 rapid commit support.
2733
4cafb815 2734- Added explicit parser support for zero-length DHCP options, such as
6d7f9584 2735 rapid-commit, via format code 'Z'.
4cafb815 2736
022fe95e
EH
2737- It's now possible to update the "ends" field of a lease with OMAPI.
2738 This is useful if you want not only to release a lease, but also make
2739 it available for reuse right away. Hat tip to Christof Chen.
2740
9a111ee8 2741- Fixed definition of the iaaddr hash functions to use the correct
1dcc3612
SK
2742 functions when referencing and dereferencing memory.

aabfa4de
FD
2744- Some definitions not in phase with the IANA registry were updated.
2745
0674055a
FD
2746- Allocated interface IDs are better controlled ('u' bit set to zero,
2747 reserved IDs avoided).
2748
b51c785f
FD
2749- Unicast options are taken into account only for RENEWs.
2750
900405e9
FD
2751- NoAddrsAvail answers to SOLICITs are always ADVERTISEs even when a SOLICIT
2752 carries a rapid-commit option.
2753
96b620e5
FD
2754- Return in place of raise an impossible condition when one tries to release
2755 an empty active lease.
2756
be62cf06
FD
2757- Timer granularity is now 1/100s in the DHCPv6 client.
2758
01a54c17
EH
2759- The dhclient-script was updated to create a host route for the default
2760 gateway if the supplied subnet mask for an IPv4 address was a /32. This
2761 allows the client to work in 'captive' network environments, where the
2762 operator does not want clients to crosstalk directly.
2763
adb95d23 2764- MINUS tokens should be parsable again.
01a54c17
EH
2765
2766- Multiple (up to "delayed-ack x;" maximum) DHCPv4 packets are now queued and
2767 released in bursts after single fsync() events when the upper limit is
2768 reached or if the receiving sockets go dry. The practical upshot is
2769 that fsync-coupled server performance is now multiplicitively increased.
2770 The default delayed ack limit is 28. Thanks entirely to a patch from
2771 Christof Chen.
2772
2773 Changes since 4.0.0 (bug fixes)
2774
2775- DHCP now builds on AIX.
2776
2777- Exit with warning when DHCPv6-specific statements are used in the
2778 config file but -6 is not specified.
2779
2780- Fixed "--version" flag in dhcrelay
2781
2782- The 'min-secs' configuration parameter's log message has been updated to
2783 be more helpful.
2784
2785- The warning logged when an address range doesn't fit in the subnets
2786 they were declared has been updated to be more helpful and identify the
2787 typo in configuration that created the spanning addresses.
2788
2789- A bug in failover pool rebalancing that caused POOLREQ message ping-pongs
2790 was repaired.
2791
2792- A flaw in failover pool rebalancing that could cause POOLREQ messages to
2793 be sent outside of the min-balance/max-balance scheduled intervals has
2794 been repaired.
2795
2796- A cosmetic bug during potential-conflict recovery that caused the peer's
2797 'conflict-done' state message to be logged as 'unknown-state' has been
2798 repaired. It is now logged correctly.
2799
49f61135
DH
2800- A bug was fixed where the 'giaddr' may be used to find the client's subnet
2801 rather than its own 'ciaddr'.
2802
41d4652f
DH
2803- A log message was introduced to clarify the situation where a failover
2804 'address' parameter (the server's local address) did not resolve to an
2805 IPv4 address.

2807- The minimum site code value was set to 224 in 3.1.0 to track RFC3942. This
2808 broke a lot of legacy site local configurations. The new code in place will
2809 track site local space minimum option codes and logs a warning to encourage
2810 updates and exploration of site local code migration problems. Option
2811 codes less than 128 in site local spaces remain inaccessible.
2812
2813- A possible relay agent option bug was repaired where random server
2814 initialization state may have been used to signal the relay agent
2815 information options sub-option code for the 'END' of the option space.

SK
2819- Fixes to allow code to compile on Mac OS X Leopard (10.5).
2820
57fcb8d9
SK
2821- When server is configured with options that it overrides, a warning is
2822 issued when the configuration file is read, rather than at the time the
2823 option is overridden. This was important, because the warning was given
9a111ee8 2824 every time the option was overridden, which could create a lot of
57fcb8d9
SK
2825 unnecessary logging.
2826
219a65eb
DH
2827- Fixed a compilation problems on platforms that define a value for FDDI,
2828 which conflicts with a dhcp configuration syntax token by the same name.
2829
ffdf3c8c
DH
2830- When a failover server suspects it has encountered a peer running a
2831 version 3.0.x failover server, a warning that the failover wire protocol
2832 is incompatible is printed.
2833
2834- The failover server no longer issues a floating point error if it encounters
2835 a previously undefined option code.

2837- Fix startup error messages to report a missing "subnet6 declaration", rather
2838 than a missing "subnet declaration", when running as a DHCPv6 server.
2839
9a111ee8 2840- DHCPv6 client timestamp in DUID was based on the year 1970 rather
7e9f7a1b

2851- The reverse dns name for PTR updates on IPv6 addresses has been fixed to
2852 use ip6.arpa. rather than default to in-addr.arpa and require user
2853 configuration.
76db44f9 2854
e32529a5
EH
2855- dhc6_lease_destroy() and dhc6_ia_destroy() now set lease and IA pointers
2856 to NULL after freeing, to prevent subsequent accesses to freed memory.
2857
9a111ee8 2858- The DHCPv6 server would not send the preference option unless the
76db44f9
SK
2859 client requested it, via the ORO. This has been fixed, so the DHCPv6
2860 server will always send the preference value if it is configured.
e4a6be15 2861
9a111ee8
TM
2862- When addresses were passed as hints to the server in an IA, they were
2863 incorrectly handled, sometimes being treated as an error. Now the
6f76de58
SK
2864 server will treat these as hints and ignore them if it cannot supply
2865 a requested address.
2866
703873ab
DH
2867- If the client had multiple addresses, and one expired (was not renewed
2868 by the server), the client would continue to attempt to renew the same
2869 old address over and over. Now, the client will omit any expired
2870 addresses from future Confirm, Renew, or Rebind messages.
2871
2872- dhclient -6 will now select renew/rebind timers based upon the longest
2873 address expiration time rather than the shortest expiration time, in
2874 order to avoid cascading renewals in the event a server elects not to
2875 extend one of multiple IAADDR leases.
2876
b024480e
DH
2877- The server now limits clients that request multiple addresses to one
2878 address per IA by default, which can be adjusted through the
2879 "limit-addrs-per-ia" configuration option.
2880
c0216cb7
DH
2881- The DHCPv6 client now issues fresh transaction IDs on Renew and Rebind
2882 message exchanges, rather than using the most recent ID.

2897- ./configure now autodetects local database locations rather than trying
2898 to put dhcpd.leases and dhclient.leases in /usr/local/var/db, which no
2899 one ever has.

DH
2913- Relative time may now be used as a qualifier for 'allow' and 'deny' access
2914 control lists. These directives may be used to assist in re-addressing
2915 address pools without having to constantly reconfigure the server. Please
2916 see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more information on allow/deny 'after time' syntax.

DH
2919- The server will now include multiple IA_NA's and multiple IAADDRs within
2920 them, if advertised by the client. It still only seeks to allocate one
2921 new address.

75135a3f 2925- Use different paths for PID and lease files when running in DHCPv4
adb95d23 2926 or DHCPv6 mode, so that servers for both protocols can be run
75135a3f

2930 of service under unusual server configurations

9a111ee8 2949- The DHCP server no longer requires a "ddns-update-style" statement,
884a458f
SK
2950 and now defaults to "none", which means DNS updates are disabled.

2952- Log messages when failover peer names mismatch have been improved to
2953 point out the problem.

9a111ee8 2955- Bug where server advertised a IPv6 address in response to a SOLICIT
1b5053b5

2962- Fixed a ./configure bug where compile tests were failing due to
2963 "-Werror" (unused variable) rather than the actual test failure. Lead
2964 to inconsistent and unworkable auto-configurations.

DH
2971- DHCPv6 server Confirm message processing has been enhanced - it no
2972 longer replies only to clients with host {} records, it now replies
2973 as directed in RFC3315 section 18.2.2 - that is, to all clients
2974 regardless of the existence of bindings.

2976- A core dump during expired lease cleanup has been repaired.
2977
7285af30
DH
2978- DDNS updates state information are now stored in 'binding scopes' that
2979 follow the leases through their lifecycles. This enables DDNS teardowns
2980 on leases that are assigned and expired inbetween a server restart (the
2981 state is recovered from dhcpd.leases). Arbitrary user-specified binding
2982 scopes ('set var = "value";') are not yet supported.

3003 would segfault if a client attempted to renew a lease that had been
3004 loaded from persistent storage.
3005

3007 the DHCPv6 client configuration. 'send dhcp6.oro' is no longer
3008 necessary.

f66f02cc
DH
3073 header files to include it (fixes a BSD 4.2 compile failure).
3074

a512d11b 3076
4ba58919
DH
3077- DHCPv4 I/O methods that failed to sense hardware address were corrected.
3078
3079- DHCPv4 is now the default (as documented) rather than DHCPv6. The default
3080 was set to DHCPv6 to facilitate ease early development, and forgotten.
3081
3082- Corrected a segmentation violation in DHCPv4 socket processing.
3083
8ea19a71 3084- dhclient will now fork() into the background once it binds to an
45d545f0 3085 IPv6 address, or immediately if the -n flag is supplied.
8ea19a71

DH
3096 Changes since 3.1.0 (NEW FEATURES)
3097
3098- DHCPv6 Client and Server protocol support. Use '-6' to run the daemons
3099 as v6-only. Use '-4' to run the daemons as v4-only (default. There is
3100 no support currently for both.
3101
3102- Server support for multiple IA_NA options, containing at most one
3103 IAADDR option.
3104
3105- Client support for one IA_NA option, containing any number of IAADDR
3106 options.
3107
3108- Server support for the DHCPv6 Information-request message.
3109
3110- Inappropriate unicast DHCPv6 messages sent to the server are now
3111 discarded, and this has rearchitected the IO system slightly.
3112
3113- The DHCPv6 server DUID defaults to type 1, is persistently stored in
3114 the leases database, and can be over-ridden (either completely, or by
3115 specifying type 1 or type 2).
3116
3117- The server only uses Rapid-Commit if it has been configured with the
3118 Rapid-Commit option and the client requests it.
3119
3120- DDNS support. We now update AAAA records in the same place we would
3121 update A records, if we have an IPv6 address. We also generate IP6.ARPA
3122 style names for PTR records if we're dealing with an IPv6 address. Both
3123 A and AAAA updates are done using the same 'fqdn.' virtual option space
3124 (although the DHCPv4 FQDN and DHCPv6 FQDN options are formatted
3125 differently, they both use the same code here).
3126
3127- The Linux dhclient-script attempts to set and remove assigned addresses,
3128 and to configure /etc/resolv.conf from nameserver and domain name
3129 configurations. It can be extended to configure other parameters.
3130
3131- Initial DHCPv6 lease support.
3132
3133- The IO system now tracks all local IP addresses, so that the DHCP
3134 applications (particularly the dhcrelay) can discern between what frames
3135 were transmitted to it, and what frames are being carried through it which
3136 it should not intercept.
3137

DH
3138 Changes since 3.1.0 (Maintenance)
3139
3140- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for virgin leases always
3141 mapped to the primary. Virgin leases now have an interleaved preference
3142 between primary and secondary.
3143
3144- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for clients with no client
3145 identifier was sometimes mishashed to the peer. Load balancing during
3146 runtime and pool rebalancing were opposing.
3147
aa3e348e
DH
3148- An assertion in lease counting relating to reserved leases was repaired.
3149
e9c59645
DH
3150- The subnet-mask option inclusion now conforms with RFC2132 section 3.3;
3151 it will only appear prior to the routers option if it is present on the
3152 Parameter-Request-List. The subnet-mask option will also only be
3153 included by default (if it is not on the PRL) in response to DISCOVER
3154 or REQUEST messages.
3155
3156- The FQDN option is only supplied if the client supplied an FQDN option or
3157 if the FQDN option was explicitly requested on the PRL.

DH
3166 Changes since 3.1.0b2
3167
3168- Failover rebalance events no longer play ping pong with round errors
3169 (moving leases between free and back to backup where there are an
3170 odd number of leases).
3171
3172- The 'pool' log line has been split into two messages, one before the
3173 rebalance run, and one after.
3174
3175- Any queued BNDACKs are transmitted before transmitting new BNDUPDs.
3176 This enforces the correct sequence of events for the remote server
3177 processing these messages.

3184- A new server config option "fqdn-reply" specifies whether the server
3185 should send out option 81 (FQDN). Defaults to "on". If set to "off",
3186 the FQDN option is not sent, even if the client requested it. This is
3187 needed because some clients misbehave otherwise. Thanks to Christof Chen
3188 at Allianz.

DH
3199- A new server config option, 'do-reverse-updates', has been added
3200 which causes the server to abstain from performing updates on PTR
3201 records. Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen at Allianz.

3230 Changes since 3.1.0a1
3231
3232- A bug in the FQDN universe that added FQDN codes to the NWIP universe's
3233 hash table was repaired.
3234
616d67cb
DH
3235- The servers now try harder to transmit pending binding updates when
3236 entering normal state.
3237
3238- UPDREQ/UPDREQALL handling was optimized - it no longer dequeues and
3239 requeues all pending updates. This should reduce the number of spurious
66c8f734
DH
3240 'xid mismatch' log messages.
3241
3242- An option definition referencing leak was fixed, which resulted in early
3243 termination of dhclient upon the renewal event.
616d67cb 3244
6708d944
DH
3245- Some default hash table sizes were tweaked, some upwards, some downwards.
3246 3.1.0a1's tables resulted in a reduction in default server memory use.
3247 The new selected values provide more of a zero sum (increasing the size
3248 of tables likely to be populated, decreasing the size of tables unlikely).
3249
45d545f0 3250- Lease structures appear in three separate hashes: by IP address, by UID,
6708d944
DH
3251 and by hardware address. One type of table was used for all three, and
3252 improvements to IP address hashing were applied to all three (so UID and
3253 hardware addresses were treated like 4-byte integers). There are now two
3254 types of tables, and the uid/hw hashes use functions more appropriate
3255 to their needs.
3256
3257- The max-lease-misbalance percentage no longer causes scheduled rebalance
3258 runs to be skipped: it still governs the schedule, but every scheduled
3259 run will attempt balance.
3260
a7ee93fe
DH
3261- A segfault bug in recursive encapsulation support has been corrected.
3262
98311e4b
DH
3263 Changes since 3.0 (New Features)
3264
3265- A workaround for certain STSN servers that send a mangled domain-name
3266 option was introduced for dhclient. The client will now accept corrupted
3267 server responses, if they contain a valid DHCP_MESSAGE_TYPE (OFFER, ACK,
3268 or NAK). The server will continue to not accept corrupt client packets.
3269
98bd7ca0 3270- Support for 'reserved' (pseudo-static) and BOOTP leases via failover
a55ccdd0 3271 was introduced.
98311e4b
DH
3272
3273- Support for adding, removing, and managing class and subclass statements
3274 via OMAPI.
3275
a55ccdd0
DH
3276- The failover implementation was updated to comply with revision 12 of
3277 the protocol draft.
3278
98311e4b
DH
3279- 'make install' now creates the initial zero-length dhcpd.leases file if
3280 one does not already exist on the system.
3281
b43c87ad 3282- RFC3942 compliance, site-local option spaces start at 224 now, not 128.
b43c87ad 3283
0b17f049
DH
3284- The Load Balance Algorithm was misimplemented. The current implementation
3285 matches RFC 3074.
3286
2727c1cf
DH
3287- lcase() and ucase() configuration expressions have been added which adjust
3288 their arguments from upper to lower and lower to upper cases respectively.
2714a8ef 3289 Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
2727c1cf 3290
febbd402
DH
3291- The dhclient 'reject ...;' statement, which rejects leases given by named
3292 server-identifiers, now permits address ranges to be specified in CIDR
7d7073e7 3293 notation. Thanks to a patch from David Boyce.
febbd402 3294
ee912528
DH
3295- The subnet-mask option is now supplied by default, but at lowest
3296 priority. This helps a small minority of clients that provide parameter
3297 request lists, but do not list the subnet-mask option because they were
3298 designed to interoperate with a server that behaves in this manner.
3299
3300- The FQDN option is similarly supplied even if it does not appear on the
3301 parameter request list, but not to the exclusion of options that do
3302 appear at the parameter request list. Up until now it had ultimate
3303 priority over the client's parameter request list.
3304
f7fdb216 3305- Varying option space code and length bit widths (8/16/32) are now
51202707 3306 supported. This is a milestone in achieving RFC 3925 "VIVSO" and
f7fdb216
DH
3307 DHCPv6 support.
3308
5e864416
DH
3309- A new common (server or client) option, 'db-time-format local;', has
3310 been added which prints the local time in /var/db/dhcpd.leases rather
3311 than UTC. Thanks to a patch from Ken Lalonde.
3312
b500bd4c
DH
3313- Some patches to improve DHCP Server startup speed from Andrew Matheson
3314 have been incorporated.
3315
2426234f
DH
3316- Failover pairs now implement 'MAC Affinity' on leases moving from the
3317 active to free states. Leases that belonged to the failover secondary
3318 are moved to BACKUP state rather than FREE upon exiting EXPIRED state.
3319 If lease rebalancing must move leases, it tries first to move leases
3320 that belong to the peer in need.
3321
3322- The server no longer sends POOLREQ messages unless the pool is severely
3323 misbalanced in the peer's favor (see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more details).
3324
3325- Pool rebalance events no longer happen upon successfully allocating a
3326 lease. Instead, they happen on a schedule. See 'man dhcpd.conf' for the
3327 min-balance and max-balance statements for more information.
3328
334bf491
DH
3329- The DHCP Relay Agent Information Option / Link Selection Sub-Option
3330 is now supported. (See RFC3527 for details).
3331
3004bebf
DH
3332- A new DDNS related server option, update-conflict-detection, has been
3333 added. If this option is enabled, dhcpd will perform normal DHCID
3334 conflict resolution (the default). If this option is disabled, it will
3335 instead trust the assigned name implicitly (removing any other bindings
3336 on that name). This option has not been made available in dhclient.
3337
567e8561
DH
3338- In those cases where the DHCP software manufactures an IP header (to
3339 transmit via bpf, lpf, etc), the IP TTL the software selects has been
3340 increased from 16 to 128. This is intended to match Microsoft Windows
3341 DHCP Client behaviour, to increase compatibility.
3342
a396d25f
DH
3343- 'ignore client-updates;' now has behaviour that is different from
3344 'deny client-updates;'. The client's request is not truly ignored,
3345 rather it is encouraged. Should this value be configured, the server
3346 updates DNS as though client-updates were set to 'deny'. That is, it
3347 enters into DNS whatever it is configured to do already, provided it is
3348 configured to. Then it sends a response to the client that lets the
3349 client believe it is performing client updates (which it will), probably
3350 for a different name. In essence, this lets the client do as it will,
3351 ignoring this aspect of their request.
3352
dba5803b
DH
3353- Support for compressed 'domain name list' style DHCP option contents, and
3354 in particular the domain search option (#119) was added.
3355
41e45067 3356- The DHCP LEASEQUERY protocol as defined in RFC4388 is now implemented.
6d103865
SK
3357 LEASEQUERY lets you query the DHCP server for information about a lease,
3358 using either an IP address, MAC address, or client identifier. Thanks
3359 to a patch from Justin Haddad.
3360
41e45067
DH
3361- DHCPD is now RFC2131 section 4.1 compliant (broadcast to all-ones ip and
3362 ethernet mac address) on the SCO platform specifically without any strange
3363 ifconfig hacks. Many thanks go to the Kroger Co. for donating the
3364 hardware and funding the development.
6d103865 3365
b543fea9
DH
3366- A new common configuration executable statement, execute(), has been
3367 added. This permits dhcpd or dhclient to execute a named external
3368 program with command line arguments specified from other configuration
3369 language. Thanks to a patch written by Mattias Ronnblom, gotten to us
3370 via Robin Breathe.
3371
b22de500
DH
3372- A new dhcp server option 'adaptive-lease-time-threshold' has been added
3373 which causes the server to substantially reduce lease-times if there are
3374 few (configured percentage) remaining leases. Thanks to a patch submitted
3375 from Christof Chen.
3376
96bbe8c5
SK
3377- Encapsulated option spaces within encapsulated option spaces is now
3378 formally supported.
3379
b8221d95
DH
3380 Changes since 3.0.6rc1
3381
3382- supersede_lease() now requeues leases in their respective hardware
3383 address hash bucket. This mirrors client identifier behaviour.
3384
c1e6c832
DH
3385 Changes since 3.0.5
3386
f546c28b
DH
3387- Assorted fixes for broken network devices: Packet length is now
3388 determined from the IP header length field to finally calculate the
3389 UDP payload length, because some NIC drivers return more data than
5a22eb63 3390 they actually received.
f546c28b
DH
3391
3392- UDP packets are now stored in aligned data structures.
3393
c1e6c832
DH
3394- A logic error in omapi interface code was repaired that might result in
3395 incorrectly indicating 'up' state when any flags were set, rather than
23e10d37
DH
3396 specifically the INTERFACE_REQUESTED flag. Thanks to a patch from
3397 Jochen Voss which got to us via Andrew Pollock at Debian.
c1e6c832 3398
75ab3070
DH
3399- A reference leak on binding scopes set by ddns updates was repaired.
3400
d69fb6a8 3401- A memory leak in the minires_nsendsigned() function call was repaired.
23e10d37 3402 Effectively, this leaked ~176 bytes per DDNS update.
d69fb6a8 3403
02428754
DH
3404- In the case where an "L2" DHCP Relay Agent (one that does not set giaddr)
3405 was directly attached to the same broadcast domain as the DHCP server,
3406 the RFC3046 relay agent information option was not being returned to the
3407 relay in the server's replies. This was fixed; the dhcp server no longer
3408 requires the giaddr to reply with relay agent information. Note that
3409 this also improves compatibility with L2 devices that "intercept" DHCP
3410 packets and expect relay agent information even in unicast (renewal)
23e10d37
DH
3411 replies. Thanks to a patch from Pekka Silvonen.
3412
3413- A bug was fixed where the BOOTP header 'sname' field had a value, the
3414 copy written to persistent storage was actually the contents of the
3415 'file' field.
02428754 3416
ecde99a3
DH
3417- A bug was fixed where the nwip virtual option space was referencing
3418 the fqdn option's virtual option space's option cache.
3419
67674ffb
DH
3420- Timestamp parsing errors that indicated missing "minutes" fields rather
3421 than the actually missing "seconds" fields have been repaired thanks to
3422 a patch from Kevin Steves.
3423
830ebc4c
DH
3424- A grammar error in the dhclient.8 manpage was repaired thanks to a patch
3425 from Chris Wagner.
3426
c759db75
DH
3427- Several spelling typos were repaired, and some cross-references to other
3428 relevant documents were included in the manpages, thanks to a patch
3429 by Andrew Pollock which got to us via Tomas Pospisek.
3430
9aa3f3a5
DH
3431- Some bugs were fixed in the 'emergency relay agent options hologram'
3432 which is used to retain relay agent option contents from when the
3433 client was in INIT or REBIND states. This should solve problems where
3434 relay agent options were not echoed from the server, even when giaddr
3435 was set.
3436
3d0c598a
DH
3437- dhclient now closes its descriptor to dhclient.leases prior to executing
3438 dhclient-script. Thanks to a patch from Tomas Pospisek.
3439
d5b6835f
DH
3440- The server's "by client-id" and "by hardware address" hash table lists
3441 are now sorted according to the preference to re-allocate that lease to
3442 returning clients. This should eliminate pool starvation problems
3443 arising when "INIT" clients were given new leases rather than presently
3444 active ones.
3445
02428754 3446 Changes since 3.0.5rc1
0a73b7b6 3447
901306d5 3448- A bug was repaired in fixes to the dhclient, which sought to run the
0a73b7b6
SK
3449 dhclient-script with the 'EXPIRE' state should it receive a NAK in
3450 response to a REQUEST. The client now iterates the PREINIT state
3451 after the EXPIRE state, so that interfaces that might be configured
3452 'down' can be brought back 'up' and initialized.
3453
87a08ccc
DH
3454- DHCPINFORM handling for clients that properly set ciaddr and come to the
3455 server via a relay aget has been repaired.
3456
6da113fb
DH
3457 Changes since 3.0.4
3458
3459- A warning that host statements declared within subnet or shared-network
3460 scopes are actually global has been added.
3461
3462- The default minimum lease time (if min-lease-time was not specified)
3463 was raised from 0 to 300. 0 is not thought to be sensible, and is
3464 known to be damaging.
3465
3466- Added additional fatal error sanity checks surrounding lease binding
3467 state count calculations (free/active counts used for failover pool
3468 balancing).
3469
dcc557db
DH
3470- Some time value size fixes in 3.0.4 brought on from FreeBSD /usr/ports were
3471 misapplied to server values rather than client values. The server no longer
3472 advertises 8-byte lease-time options when on 64-bit platforms.
3473
1b2ab55f
DH
3474- A bug where leases not in ACTIVE state would get billed to billed classes
3475 (classes with lease limitations) was fixed. Non-active leases OFFERed
3476 to clients are no longer billed (but billing is checked before offering).
3477
e48891e8
DH
3478- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated in regard to the ddns-domainname
3479 configuration option - the default configuration and results should be
3480 more clear now.
3481
6cbc6629
DH
3482- If the dhclient were to receive a DHCPNAK while it was in the RENEW
3483 state (and consequently, had an active, 'bound' address and related
3484 configuration options), it would fail to 'tear down' this information
3485 before proceeding into INIT state. dhclient now iterates the dhclient-
3486 script with the 'EXPIRE' action to cause these teardowns prior to entering
1d3bfb17 3487 INIT state. Thanks to a patch from Chris Zimmerman.
6cbc6629 3488
c5fec5fa
DH
3489- The omapi.1 manpage had some formatting errors repaired thanks to a patch
3490 from Yoshihiko Sarumaru.
3491
33e1cb2b
DH
3492- A few lines of code that were failover-specific were moved within
3493 #if defined() clauses so that compilation without failover could be
3494 made possible.
3495
2bddf829
DH
3496- The log message emitted when the 'leased-address' value was not available
3497 in dhcpd.conf "executable statements" has been updated to be more helpful.
3498 Manpage information for this value has also been updated.
3499
87578987
DH
3500- Abandoned or dissociated (err condition) leases now remove any related
3501 dynamic dns bindings. Thanks to a patch from Patrick Schoo.
3502
e77c575f
DH
3503- Attempting to write a new lease file to replace a corrupt (due to
3504 encountering non-retryable errors during writing) lease file should
3505 no longer result in an infinite recursion.
3506
2178df03
DH
3507- Host declaration hardware addresses and client identifiers may only be
3508 configured once. dhcpd will now fail to load config files that specify
3509 multiple identifiers (previous versions would silently over-ride the
3510 value with the later configured value).
3511
d5341d9b
SK
3512- Several option codes that have been allocated since our last release
3513 have been named and documented.
3514
3515- Option names of the form "unknown-123" have been removed from the in-
3516 memory hash tables. In order to support options of these names that
3517 may appear in dhclient.leases or similar in previous versions, the
3518 parser will now find the new option code definition, or mock up a
3519 generic option code definition. This should result in a smooth
3520 transition from one name to the other, as the new name is used to
3521 write new output.
3522
6da113fb
DH
3523 Changes since 3.0.4rc1
3524
3525- The dhcp-options.5 manpage was updated to correct indentation errors
3526 thanks to a patch from Jean Delvare.
3527
3528 Changes since 3.0.4b3
3529
3530- Some manual pages were clarified pursuant to discussion on the dhcp-server
3531 mailing list.
3532
88cd8aca
DH
3533 Changes since 3.0.4b2
3534
45d545f0 3535- Null-termination sensing for certain clients that unfortunately require
88cd8aca
DH
3536 it in DHCPINFORM processing was repaired.
3537
3538- The host-name option and a few others were moved from "X" format to "t"
3539 format to be compatible with new NULL handling functions.
3540
3541- DHCPINFORM processing is a little more careful about return addressing
3542 its responses, or if responding via a relay. The INFORM related
3543 messages also log the 'effective client ip address' rather than the
3544 client's supplied ciaddr (since some clients produce null ciaddrs).
3545
3546- The server was inappropriately sending leases to the RESET state in the
3547 event that multiple active leases were found to match a singly-identified
3548 client. This was changed to RELEASED (by accepting a different, ACTIVE
3549 binding, the client is implicitly releasing its lease). This repairs a
3550 bug wherein secondary servers in failover pairs detecting this condition
3551 move leases to RESET, and primaries refuse to accept that state
3552 transition (properly).
3553
3554- The memset-after-dmalloc() changes made in 3.0.4b1 have been backed out.
3555
3556 Changes since 3.0.4b1
3557
3558- Command line parsing in omshell was repaired - it no longer closes
3559 STDIN after reading one line.
3560
3561- The resolver library no longer closes the /etc/resolv.conf file
3562 descriptor it opened twice.
3563
3564- Changes to trailing NULL removal in 't' option-atoms has been rethought,
3565 it now includes 'd' (domain name) types, and tries hard not to rewind an
3566 option beyond the start of the text field it is un-terminating.
3567
3568 Changes since 3.0.3
3569
3570- A DDNS update handling function was misusing the DNS error codes, rather
3571 than the internal generic result enumeration. The result is a confusing
3572 syslog line, logging the wrong condition.
3573
3574- The DHCP Server was not checking pool balance in the case where it brought
3575 a non-ACTIVE lease out of storage for a client that was returning to use
3576 a lease it once had long ago, and had since expired.
3577
3578- Failover peers no longer bother to look for free leases to allocate when
3579 they already found the client's ACTIVE lease. DISCOVERs are load balanced
98bd7ca0 3580 whether freely-allocated or not, unless the server doubts the peer has
88cd8aca
DH
3581 leases to allocate.
3582
3583- Fixed a bug in dhcrelay agent addition code that suppressed trailing
45d545f0 3584 PAD options - it was suppressing only one trailing PAD option, rather
88cd8aca
DH
3585 than the entire block of them.
3586
3a16098f
DH
3587! Fixed some unlikely overlapping-region memcpy() bugs in dhcrelay agent
3588 option addition and stripping code. Added a few sanity checks. Although
3589 highly improbable, due to requiring the reception of a DHCP datagram well
3590 in excess of all known to be used physical MTU limitations, it is possible
3591 this may have been used in a stack overflow security vulnerability. Thanks
3592 to a patch from infamous42md.
3593
3594! Added some sanity checks to OMAPI connection/authentication code.
3595 Although highly improbable, due to having to deliver in excess of 2^32
3596 bytes of data via the OMAPI channel, not to mention requiring dhcpd to
3597 be able to malloc() a memory region 2^32 bytes in size, it was possible
3598 this might have resulted in a heap overflow security vulnerability.
3599 Thanks to a patch from infamous42md.
88cd8aca
DH
3600
3601- dmalloc() memset()'s the non-debug (data) portion of the allocated
3602 memory to zero. Code that memset()'s the result returned by dmalloc() to
3603 zero is redundant. These redundancies were removed.
3604
3605- Some type declaration corrections to u_int16_t were made in common/tr.c
4b97eaff 3606 (Token Ring support) thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
88cd8aca
DH
3607
3608- A failover bug that was allowing leases that EXPIRED or were RELEASED
3609 where tsfp and tstp are identical timestamps to languish in these
3610 transitional states has been repaired. As a side effect, lease
3611 databases should be kept more consistent overall, not just for these
3612 transitional states.
3613
3614- If the lease db is deleted out from under the daemon, and it moves to rewrite
3615 the db, it will go ahead with the operation and move the new db into place
3616 once it detects the old db does not exist.
3617
3618- dhclient now ignores IRDA, SIT, and IEEE1394 network interfaces, as it
3619 is either nonsensical or (in the case of IEEE1394) is not known to support
3620 these interfaces. Thanks to Marius Gedminas and Andrew Pollock of Debian.
3621
3622- Some previously undocumented reasons for dhclient-script invoking has
45d545f0 3623 been documented in the dhclient-script.8 manpage.
88cd8aca
DH
3624
3625- Failover potential expiry calculations (TSTP) have been corrected. Results
3626 should be substantially more consistent, and proper given the constraints.
3627
3628- Adjusted lease state validation checks in potential-conflict, to
3629 account for possible clock skew similarly to normal state, and several
3630 previously illegal transitions were made legal (ex: active->released).
3631
3632- An impossible sanity check was removed from omapi/buffer.c, thanks to a
3633 patch from 'infamous42md'.
3634
3635- An OMAPI host/network byte order problem in lease time values has been
3636 repaired.
3637
3638- Several minor bugs, largely relating to treating 8-byte time values as
3639 4-byte entities, have been repaired after careful review of the FreeBSD
3640 ports collection's patch set. Thanks to the nameless entities who have
3641 contributed to the FreeBSD ports.
3642
3643- When writing a trace file, the file is now created with permissions 0600,
3644 to help administrators avoid accidentally publicising sensitive config
3645 data.
3646
3647- The calculation of the maximum size of DHCP packets no longer includes
3648 Ethernet framing overhead. The result is that the 'Maximum Message
3649 Size' option advertised by clients, or the default value 576, is no
3650 longer reduced by 14 bytes, and instead directly reflects the IP level
3651 MTU (and the default, minimum allowed IP MTU of 576).
3652
3653- The special status of RELEASED/EXPIRED/RESET leases when a server
3654 is operating in partner-down was fixed. It no longer requires a
3655 lease be twice the MCLT beyond STOS to 'reallocate', and the expiry
3656 event to turn these into FREE leases without peer acknowledgement
3657 (after STOS+MCLT) has been repaired.
3658
3659- Compilation on older Solaris systems (lacking /usr/include/sys/int_types.h)
3660 has been repaired.
3661
3662- "append"ing a string onto the end of a "t" type option (such as the
3663 domain-name field) that had been improperly NULL-terminated by the
3664 DHCP server will no longer result in a truncated string containing
3665 only the option from the server, and not the expected appended value.
4b97eaff 3666 Thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.

3667
3668- File handlers on configuration state (config files and lease dbs) should
98bd7ca0 3669 be treated consistently, regardless of whether TRACING is defined or not.
88cd8aca 3670
45d545f0 3671- The Linux build environment has had some minor improvements - better
88cd8aca
DH
3672 sensing of 64-bit pointer sizes (only used for establishing an icmp_id),
3673 and corrections to #if operators regarding LINUX_MAJOR should it ever
3674 move to 3.[01].x.
3675
3676- The server now tries harder to survive the condition where it is unable
3677 to open a new lease file to rewrite the lease state database.

3679 Changes since 3.0.3b3
3680
3681- dhclient.conf documentation for interface {} was updated to reflect recent
3682 discussion on the dhcp-hackers mailing list.
3683
3684- In response to reports that the software does not compile on GCC 4.0.0,
3685 -Werror was removed from Makefile.conf for all platforms that used it.
3686 We will address the true problem in a future release; this is a temporary
3687 workaround.
3688
3689 Changes since 3.0.3b2
3690
3691- An error in code changes introduced in 3.0.3b2 was corrected, which caused
3692 static BOOTP clients to receive random addresses.
3693
3694 Changes since 3.0.3b1
3695
3696- A bug was fixed in BOOTPREQUEST handling code wherein stale references to
3697 host records would be left behind on leases that were not allocated to the
3698 client currently booting (eg in the case where the host was denied booting).
3699
3700- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated to be more clear in regards to
3701 multiple host declarations (thanks to Vincent McIntyre). 'Interim' style
3702 dynamic updates were also retouched.
3703
98311e4b
DH
3704 Changes since 3.0.2
3705
3706- A bug was fixed where a server might load balance a DHCP REQUEST to its
45d545f0 3707 peer after already choosing not to load balance the preceding DISCOVER.
98311e4b
DH
3708 The peer cannot allocate the originating server's lease.
3709
3710- In the case where a secondary server lost its stable storage while the
3711 primary was still in communications-interrupted, and came back online,
3712 the lease databases would not be fully transferred to the secondary.
3713 This was due to the secondary errantly sending an extra UPDREQ message
3714 when the primary made its state transition to PARTNER-DOWN known.
3715
3716- The package will now compile cleanly in gcc 3.3 and 3.4. As a side effect,
3717 lease structures will be 9 bytes smaller on all platforms. Thanks to
4b97eaff 3718 Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3719
3720- Interface discovery code in DISCOVER_UNCONFIGURED mode is now
3721 properly restricted to only detecting broadcast interfaces. Thanks
4b97eaff 3722 to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3723
3724- decode_udp_ip_header was changed so that the IP address was copied out
3725 to a variable, rather than referenced by a pointer. This enforces 4-byte
3726 alignment of the 32-bit IP address value. Thanks to a patch from Dr.
3727 Peter Poeml.
3728
3729- An incorrect log message was corrected thanks to a patch from
3730 Dr. Peter Poeml.
3731
3732- A bug in DDNS was repaired, where if the server's first DDNS action was
3733 a DDNS removal rather than a DDNS update, the resolver library's
3734 retransmit timer and retry timer was set to the default, implying a
3735 15 second timeout interval. Which is a little excessive in a synchronous,
3736 single-threaded system. In all cases, ISC DHCP should now hold fast to
3737 a 1-second timeout, trying only once.
3738
3739- The siaddr field was being improperly set to the server-identifier when
3740 responding to DHCP messages. RFC2131 clarified the siaddr field as
3741 meaning the 'next server in the bootstrap process', eg a tftp server.
3742 The siaddr field is now left zeroed unless next-server is configured.
3743
3744- mockup_lease() could have returned in an error condition (or in the
3745 condition where no fixed-address was found matching the shared
3746 network) with stale references to a host record. This is probably not
3747 a memory leak since host records generally never die anyway.
3748
3749- A bug was repaired where failover servers would let stale client identifiers
3750 persist on leases that were reallocated to new clients not sending an id.
3751
3752- Binding scopes ("set var = value;") are now removed from leases allocated
3753 by failover peers if the lease had expired. This should help reduce the
3754 number of stale binding scopes on leases.
3755
3756- A small memory leak was closed involving client identifiers larger than
3757 7 bytes, and failover.
3758
3759- Configuring a subnet in dhcpd.conf with a subnet mask of 32 bits might
3760 cause an internal function to overflow heap. Thanks to Jason Vas Dias
4b97eaff 3761 at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3762
3763- Some inconsistencies in treating numbers that the lexer parsed as 'NUMBER'
3764 or 'NUMBER_OR_NAME' was repaired. Hexadecimal parsing is affected, and
3765 should work better.
3766
3767- In several cases, parse warnings were being issued before the lexical
3768 token had been advanced to the token whose value was causing an error...
3769 causing parse warnings to claim the problem is on the wrong token.
3770
3771- Host declarations matching on client identifier for dynamic leases will
3772 no longer match fixed-address host declarations (this is now identical
3773 to behaviour for host records matching on hardware address).
3774
3775 Changes since 3.0.2rc3
3776
3777- A previously undocumented configuration directive, 'local-address',
3778 was documented in the dhcpd.conf manpage.
3779
3780 Changes since 3.0.2rc2
3781
45d545f0 3782- Two variables introduced in 3.0.2b1 were used without being initialized
98311e4b
DH
3783 in the case where neither the FILE nor SNAME fields were available for
3784 overloading. This was repaired.
3785
3786- A heretofore believed to be impossible corner case of the option
3787 overloading implementation turned out to be possible ("Unable to sort
3788 overloaded options after 10 tries."). The implementation was reworked
3789 to consider the case of an option so large it would require more than
3790 three chunks to fit.
3791
3792- Many other instances of variables being used without being initialized
3793 were repaired.
3794
3795- An uninitialized variable in omapi_io_destroy() led to the discovery
3796 that this function may result in orphaned pointers (and hence, a memory
3797 leak).
3798
3799 Changes since 3.0.2rc1
3800
3801- allocate_lease() was rewritten to repair a bug in which the server would
3802 try to allocate an ABANDONED lease when FREE leases were available.
3803
3804 Changes since 3.0.2b1
3805
3806- Some dhcp-eval.5 manpage formatting was repaired.
3807
3808 Changes since 3.0.1
3809
3810- A bug was fixed in the server's 'option overloading' implementation,
3811 where options loaded into the 'file' and 'sname' packet fields were
3812 not aligned precisely as rfc2131 dictates.
3813
3814- The FreeBSD client script was changed to support the case where a domain
3815 name was not provided by the server.
3816
3817- A memory leak in 'omshell' per each command line parsed was
3818 repaired, thanks to a patch from Jarkko Torppa.
3819
3820- Log functions writing to stderr were adjusted to use the STDERR_FILENO
3821 system definition rather than '2'. This is a no-op for 90% of platforms.
3822
3823- One call to trace_write_packet_iov() counted the number of io vectors
3824 incorrectly, causing inconsistent tracefiles. This was fixed.
3825
3826- Some expression parse failure memory leaks were closed.
3827
3828- A host byte order problem in tracefiles was repaired.
3829
3830- Pools configured in DHCPD for failover possessing permission lists that
adb95d23 3831 previously were assumed to not include dynamic bootp clients are now
98311e4b
DH
3832 a little more pessimistic. The result is, dhcpd will nag you about just
3833 about most pools that possess a 'allow' statement with no 'deny' that
3834 would definitely match a dynamic bootp client.
3835
3836- The 'ddns-update-style' configuration warning bit now insists that
3837 the configuration be globally scoped.
3838
3839- Two memory leaks in dhclient were closed thanks to a patch from Felix
3840 Farkas.
3841
3842- Some minor but excellently pedantic documentation errors were fixed
3843 thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
3844
3845- Bugs in operator precedence in executable statements have been repaired
3846 once again. More legal syntaxes should be parsed legally.
3847
3848- Failing to initialize a tracefile for any reason if a tracefile was
3849 specified is now a fatal error. Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
3850
3851- Corrected a bug in which the number of leases transferred as calculated
3852 by the failover primary and sent to peers in POOLRESP responses may be
3853 incorrect. This value is not believed to be used by other failover
3854 implementations, excepting perhaps as logged information.
3855
3856- Corrected a bug in which 'dhcp_failover_send_poolresp()' was in fact
3857 sending POOLREQ messages instead of POOLRESP mesasges. This message
3858 was essentially ignored since failover secondaries effectively do not
3859 respond to POOLREQ messages.
3860
3861- Type definitions for various bitwidths of integers in the sunos5-5
3862 build of ISC DHCP have been fixed. It should compile and run more
3863 easily when built in 64-bit for this platform.
3864
3865- "allow known-clients;" is now a legal syntax, to avoid confusion.
3866
3867- If one dhcp server chooses to 'load balance' a request to its failover
3868 peer, it first checks to see if it believes said peer has a free
3869 lease to allocate before ignoring the DISCOVER.
3870
3871- log() was logging a work buffer, rather than the value returned by
3872 executing the statements configured by the user. In some cases,
3873 the work buffer and the intended results were the same. In some other
3874 cases, they were not. This was fixed thanks to a patch from Gunnar
3875 Fjone and directconnect.no.
3876
3877- Compiler warnings for some string type conversions was fixed, thanks
3878 to Andreas Gustafsson.
3879
3880- The netbsd build environments were simplified to one, in which
3881 -Wconversion is not used, thanks to Andreas Gustafsson.
3882
3883- How randomness in the backoff-cutoff dhclient configuration variable
3884 is implemented was better documented in the manpage, and the behaviour
3885 of dhclient in REQUEST timeout handling was changed to match that of
3886 DISCOVER timeout handling.
3887
3888- Omapi was hardened against clients that pass in null values, thanks
3889 to a patch from Mark Jason Dominus.
3890
3891- A bug was fixed in dhclient that kept it from doing client-side
3892 ddns updates. Thanks to a patch from Andreas Gustafsson, which
3893 underwent some modification after review by Jason Vas Dias.
3894
3895- Failover implementations disconnected due to the network between
3896 them (rather than one of the two shutting down) will now try to
3897 re-establish the failover connection every 5 seconds, rather than
3898 to simply try once and give up until one of them is restarted.
3899 Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from Infoblox, and field testing
3900 by Greger V. Teigre which led to an enhancement to it.
3901
3902- A problem that kept DHCP Failover secondaries from tearing down
3903 ddns records was repaired. Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from
3904 Infoblox.
3905
3906- 64bit pointer sizes are detected properly on FreeBSD now.
3907
3908- A bug was repaired where the DHCP server would leave stale references
3909 to host records on leases it once thought about offering to certain
3910 clients. The result would be to apply host and 'known' scopes to the
3911 wrong clients (possibly denying booting). NOTE: The 'mis-host' patch
3912 that was being circulated as a workaround is not the way this bug was
3913 fixed. If you were a victim of this bug in 3.0.1, you are cautioned
3914 to proceed carefully and see if it fixes your problem.
3915
3916- A bug was repaired in the server's DHCPINFORM handling, where it
3917 tried to divine the client's address from the source packet and
3918 would get it wrong. Thanks to Anshuman Singh Rawat.
3919
3920- A log message was introduced to help illuminate the case where the
3921 server was unable to find a lease to assign to any BOOTP client.
3922 Thanks to Daniel Baker.
3923
3924- A minor dhcpd.conf.5 manpage error was fixed.
3925
3926 Changes since 3.0.1rc14
3927
3928- The global variable 'cur_time' was centralized and is now uniformly of a
3929 type #defined in system-dependent headers. It had previously been defined
3930 in one of many places as a 32-bit value, and this causes mayhem on 64-bit
3931 big endian systems. It probably wasn't too healthy on little endian
3932 systems either.
3933
3934- A printf format string error introduced in rc14 was repaired.
3935
3936- AIX system-dependent header file was altered to only define NO_SNPRINTF
3937 if the condition used to #ifdef in vsnprintf in AIX' header files
3938 is false.
3939
3940- The Alpha/OSF system-dependent header file was altered to define
3941 NO_SNPRINTF on OS revisions older than 4.0G.
3942
3943- omapip/test.c had string.h added to its includes.
3944
3945 Changes since 3.0.1rc13
3946
3947! CAN-2004-0460 - CERT VU#317350: Five stack overflow exploits were closed
3948 in logging messages with excessively long hostnames provided by the
3949 clients. It is highly probable that these could have been used by
3950 attackers to gain arbitrary root access on systems using ISC DHCP 3.0.1
3951 release candidates 12 or 13. Special thanks to Gregory Duchemin for
3952 both finding and solving the problem.
3953
3954! CAN-2004-0461 - CERT VU#654390: Once the above was closed, an opening
45d545f0 3955 in log_*() functions was evidenced, on some specific platforms where
98311e4b
DH
3956 vsnprintf() was not believed to be available and calls were wrapped to
3957 sprintf() instead. Again, credit goes to Gregory Duchemin for finding
3958 the problem. Calls to snprintf() are now linked to a distribution-local
3959 snprintf implementation, only in those cases where the architecture is
3960 not known to provide one (see includes/cf/[arch].h). If you experience
3961 linking problems with snprintf/vsnprintf or 'isc_print_' functions, this
3962 is where to look. This vulnerability did not exist in any previously
3963 published version of ISC DHCP.
3964
3965- Compilation on hpux 11.11 was repaired.
3966
3967- 'The cross-compile bug fix' was backed out.
3968
3969 Changes since 3.0.1rc12
3970
3971- Fixed a bug in omapi lease lookup function, to form the hardware
3972 address for the hash lookup correctly, thanks to a patch from
3973 Richard Hirst.
3974
3975- Fixed a bug where dhcrelay was sending relayed responses back to the
3976 broadcast address, but with the source's unicast mac address. Should
3977 now conform to rfc2131 section 4.1.
3978
3979- Cross-compile bug fix; use $(AR) instead of ar. Thanks to Morten Brorup.
3980
3981- Fixed a crash bug in dhclient where dhcpd servers that do not provide
3982 renewal times results in an FPE. As a side effect, dhclient can now
3983 properly handle 0xFFFFFFFF (-1) expiry times supplied by servers. Thanks
3984 to a patch from Burt Silverman.
3985
3986- The 'ping timeout' debugs from rc12 were removed to -DDEBUG only,
45d545f0 3987 and reformatted to correct a compilation error on Solaris platforms.
98311e4b
DH
3988
3989- A patch was applied which fixes a case where leases read from the
3990 leases database do not properly over-ride previously read leases.
3991
3992- dhcpctl.3 manpage was tweaked.
3993
3994 Changes since 3.0.1rc11
3995
3996- A patch from Steve Campbell was applied with minor modifications to
3997 permit reverse dns PTR record updates with values containing spaces.
3998
3999- A patch from Florian Lohoff was applied with some modifications to
4000 dhcrelay. It now discards packets whose hop count exceeds 10 by default,
4001 and a command-line option (-c) can be used to set this threshold.
4002
4003- A failover bug relating to identifying peers by name length instead of
4004 by name was fixed.
4005
45d545f0 4006- Declaring failover configs within shared-network statements should no
98311e4b
DH
4007 longer result in error.
4008
4009- The -nw command line option to dhclient now works.
4010
4011- Thanks to a patch from Michael Richardson:
4012 - Some problems with long option processing have been fixed.
4013 - Some fixes to minires so that updates of KEY records will work.
4014
4015- contrib/ms2isc was updated by Shu-Min Chang of the Intel Corporation.
4016 see contrib/ms2isc/readme.txt for revision notes.
4017
4018- Dhclient no longer uses shell commands to kill another instance of
4019 itself, it sends the signal directly. Thanks to a patch from Martin
4020 Blapp.
4021
4022- The FreeBSD dhclient-script was changed so that a failure to write to
4023 /etc/resolv.conf does not prematurely end the script. This keeps dhclient
4024 from looping infinitely when this is the case. Thanks to a patch from
4025 Martin Blapp.
4026
4027- A patch from Bill Stephens was applied which resolves a problem with lease
4028 expiry times in failover configurations.
4029
4030- A memory leak in configuration parsing was closed thanks to a patch from
4031 Steve G.
4032
4033- The function which discovers interfaces will now skip non-broadcast or
4034 point-to-point interfaces, thanks to a patch from David Brownlee.
4035
4036- Options not yet known by the dhcpd or dhclient have had their names
4037 changed such that they do not contain # symbols, in case they should ever
4038 appear in a lease file. An option that might have been named "#144" is
4039 now "unknown-144".
4040
4041- Another patch from Bill Stephens which allows the ping-check timeout to
4042 be configured as 'ping-timeout'. Defaults to 1.
4043
4044 Changes since 3.0.1rc10
4045
4046- Potential buffer overflows in minires repaired.
4047
4048- A change to the linux client script to use /bin/bash, since /bin/sh may
4049 not be bash.
4050
4051- Some missing va_end cleanups thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
4052
4053- A correction of boolean parsing syntax validation - some illegal syntaxes
4054 that worked before are now detected and produce errs, some legal syntaxes
4055 that errored before will now work properly.
4056
4057- Some search-and-replace errors that caused some options to change their
4058 names was repaired.
4059
4060- Shu-min Chang of the Intel corporation has contributed a perl script and
4061 module that converts the MS NT4 DHCP configuration to a ISC DHCP3
4062 configuration file.
4063
4064- Applied the remainder of the dhcpctl memory leak patch provided by Bill
4065 Squier at ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
4066
4067- Missing non-optional failover peer configurations will now result in a soft
4068 error rather than a null dereference.
4069
4070 Changes since 3.0.1rc9
4071
4072- A format string was corrected to fix compiler warnings.
4073
4074- A number of spelling corrections were made in the man pages.
4075
4076- The dhclient.conf.5 man page was changed to refer to do-forward-updates
4077 rather than a configuration option that doesn't exist.
4078
4079- A FreeBSD-specific bug in the interface removal handling was fixed.
4080
4081- A Linux-specific Token Ring detection problem was fixed.
4082
4083- Hashes removed from as-yet-unknown agent options, having those options
4084 appear in reality before we know about them will no longer produce
4085 self-corrupting lease databases.
4086
4087- dhclient will use the proper port numbers now when using the -g option.
4088
4089- A order-of-operations bug with 2 match clauses in 1 class statement is
4090 fixed thanks to a patch from Andrew Matheson.
4091
4092- Compilation problems on Solaris were fixed.
4093
4094- Compilation problems when built with DEBUG or DEBUG_PACKET were repaired.
4095
4096- A fix to the dhcp ack process which makes certain group options will be
4097 included in the first DHCPOFFER message was made thanks to a patch from
4098 Ling Gou.
4099
4100- A few memory leaks were repaired thanks to patches from Bill Squier at
4101 ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
4102
4103- A fix for shared-networks that sometimes give clients options for the
4104 wrong subnets (in particular, 'option routers') was applied, thanks to
4105 Ted Lemon for the patch.
4106
4107- Omshell's handling of dotted octets as values was changed such that dots
4108 one after the other produce zero values in the integer string.
4109
4110 Changes since 3.0.1rc8
4111
4112- Fix a format string vulnerability in the server that could lead to a
4113 remote root compromise (discovered by NGSEC Research Team, www.ngsec.com).
4114
4115- Add additional support for NetBSD/sparc64.
4116
4117- Fix a bug in the command-line parsing of the client. Also, resolve
4118 a memory leak.
4119
4120- Add better support for shells other than bash in the Linux client
4121 script.
4122
4123- Various build fixes for modern versions of FreeBSD and Linux.
4124
4125- Fix a bad bounds check when printing binding state names.
4126
4127- Clarify documentation about fixed-address and multiple addresses.
4128
4129- Fix a typo in the authoritative error message.
4130
4131- Make a log entry when we can't write a billing class.
4132
4133- Use conversion targets that are the right size on all architectures.
4134
4135- Increment the hop count when relaying.
4136
4137- Log a message when lease state is changed through OMAPI.
4138
4139- Don't rerun the shared_network when evaluating the pool.
4140
4141- Fix a reversed test in the parser.
4142
4143- Change the type of rbuf_max.
4144
4145- Make FTS_LAST a manifest constant to quiet warnings.
4146
4147 Changes since 3.0.1rc7
4148
4149- Fix two compiler warnings that are generated when compiling on Solaris
4150 with gcc. These stop the build, even though they weren't actually
4151 errors, because we prefer that our builds generate no warnings.
4152
4153 Changes since 3.0.1rc6
4154
4155- Don't allow a lease that's in the EXPIRED, RELEASED or RESET state
4156 to be renewed.
4157
4158- Implement lease stealing for cases where the primary has fewer leases
4159 than the secondary, as called for by the standard.
4160
4161- Add a fudge factor to the lease expiry acceptance code, (suggested
4162 by Kevin Miller of CMU).
4163
4164- Fix a bug in permit_list_match that made it much too willing to say
4165 that two permit lists matched.
4166
4167- Unless DEBUG_DNS_UPDATES is defined, print more user-friendly (and
4168 also more compact) messages about DNS updates.
4169
4170- Fix a bug in generating wire-format domain names for the FQDN option.
4171
4172- Fix a bug where the FQDN option would not be returned if the client
4173 requested it, contrary to the standard.
4174
4175- On Darwin, use the FreeBSD DHCP client script.
4176
4177- On NetBSD/sparc, don't check for casting warnings.
4178
4179- Add a flag in the DHCP client to disable updating the client's A
4180 record when sending an FQDN option indicating that the client is
4181 going to update its A record.
4182
4183- In the client, don't attempt a DNS update until one second after
4184 configuring the new IP address, and if the update times out, keep
4185 trying until a response, positive or negative, is received from the
4186 DNS server.
4187
4188- Fix an uninitialized memory bug in the DHCP client.
4189
4190- Apply some FreeBSD-specific bug fixes suggested by Murray Stokely.
4191
4192- Fix a bug in ns_parserr(), where it was returning the wrong sort
4193 of result code in some cases (suggested by Ben Harris of the
4194 NetBSD project).
4195
4196- Fix a bug in is_identifier(), where it was checking against EOF
4197 instead of the END_OF_FILE token (also suggested by Ben Harris).
4198
4199- Fix a bug where if an option universe contained no options, the
4200 DHCP server could dump core (Walter Steiner).
4201
4202- Fix a bug in the handling of encapsulated options.
4203
4204- Fix a bug that prevented NWIP suboptions from being processed.
4205
4206- Delete the FTS_BOOTP and FTS_RESERVED states and implement them
4207 as modifier flags to the FTS_ACTIVE state, as called for in the
4208 failover protocol standard.
4209
4210- Fix bugs in the pool merging code that resulted in references and
4211 dereferences of null pointers. This bug had no impact unless the
4212 POINTER_DEBUG flag was defined.
4213
4214- In the server, added a do-forward-updates flag that can be used to
4215 disable forward updates in all cases, so that sites that want the
4216 clients to take sole responsibility for updating their A record can
4217 do so.
4218
4219- Make it possible to disable optimization of PTR record updates.
4220
4221 Changes since 3.0.1rc5
4222
4223- Include some new documentation and changes provided by Karl Auer.
4224
4225- Add a workaround for some Lexmark printers that send a double-NUL-
4226 terminated host-name option, which would break DNS updates.
4227
4228- Fix an off-by-one error in the MAC-address checking code for
4229 DHCPRELEASE that was added in 3.0.1rc5.
4230
4231- Fix a bug where client-specific information was not being discarded
4232 from the lease when it expired or was released, resulting in
4233 problems if the lease was reallocated to a different client.
4234
4235- If more than one allocation pool is specified that has the same set
4236 of constraints as another allocation pool on the same shared
4237 network, merge the two pools.
4238
4239- Don't print an error in fallback_discard, since this just causes
4240 confusion and does not appear to be helping to encourage anyone to
4241 fix this bug.
4242
4243 Changes since 3.0.1rc4
4244
4245- Fix a bug that would cause the DHCP server to spin if asked to parse
4246 a certain kind of incorrect statement.
4247
4248- Fix a related bug that would prevent an error from being reported in
4249 the same case.
4250
4251- Additional documentation.
4252
4253- Make sure that the hardware address matches the lease when
4254 processing a DHCPRELEASE message.
4255
4256 Changes since 3.0.1rc3
4257
4258- A minor bug fix in the arguments to a logging function call.
4259- Documentation update for dhcpd.conf.
4260
adbef119 4261 Changes since 3.0.1rc2

DH
4262
4263- Allow the primary to send a POOLREQ message. This isn't what the current
4264 failover draft says to do, so we may have to back it out if I can't get the
4265 authors to relent, but the scheme for balancing that's specified in the
4266 current draft seems needlessly hairy, so I'm floating a trial balloon.
4267 The rc1 code did not implement the method described in the draft either.
4268
adbef119 4269 Changes since 3.0.1rc1
98311e4b
DH
4270
4271- Treat NXDOMAIN and NXRRSET as success when we are trying to delete a
4272 domain or RRSET. This allows the DHCP server to forget about a name
4273 it added to the DNS once it's been removed, even if the DHCP server
4274 wasn't the one that removed it.
4275
4276- Install defaults for failover maximum outstanding updates and maximum
4277 silent time. This prevents problems that might occur if these values
4278 were not configured.
4279
4280- Don't do DDNS deletes if ddns-update-style is none.
4281
4282- Return relay agent information options in DHCPNAK. This prevents DHCPNAK
4283 messages from being dropped when the relay agent information option contains
4284 routing information.
4285
4286- Fix a problem where coming up in recover wouldn't result in an update
4287 request being sent.
4288
4289- Add some more chatty messages when we start a recovery update and when it's
4290 done.
4291
4292- Fix a possible problem where some state might have been left around
4293 after the peer lost contact and regained contact about how many updates
4294 were pending.
4295
4296- Don't nix a lease update because of a lease conflict. This test has
4297 never (as far as I know) prevented a mistake, and it appears to cause
4298 problems with failover.
4299
4300- Add support in rc history code for keeping a selective history, rather
4301 than a history of all references and dereferences. This code is only used
4302 when extensive additional debugging is enabled.
4303
adbef119 4304 Changes since 3.0
98311e4b
DH
4305
4306- Make allocators for hash tables. As a side effect, this fixes a memory
4307 smash in the subclass allocation code.
4308
4309- Fix a small bug in omshell where if you try to close an object when
4310 no object is open, it dumps core.
4311
4312- Fix an obscure coredump that could occur on shutdown.
4313
4314- Fix a bug in the recording of host declaration rubouts in the lease file.
4315
4316- Fix two potential spins in the host deletion code.
4317
4318- Fix a core dump that would happen if an application tried to update
4319 a host object attribute with a null value.
4320
4321 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 12
4322
4323- Fix a memory leak in the evaluation code.
4324
4325- Fix an obscure core dump.
4326
4327- Print a couple of new warnings when parsing the configuration file
4328 when crucial information is left out.
4329
4330- Log "no free leases" as an error.
4331
4332- Documentation updates.
4333
4334 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 11
4335
4336- Always return a subnet selection option if one is sent.
4337
4338- Fix a warning that was being printed because an automatic data
4339 structure wasn't zeroed.
4340
4341- Fix some failover state transitions that were being handled
4342 incorrectly.
4343
4344- When supersede_lease is called on a lease whose end time has already
4345 expired, but for which a state transition has not yet been done, do
4346 a state transition. This fixes the case where if the secondary
4347 allocated a lease to a client and the lease "expired" while the
4348 secondary was in partner-down, no expiry event would actually
4349 happen, so the lease would remain active until the primary was
4350 restarted.
4351
4352 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 10
4353
4354- Fix a bug that was preventing released leases from changing state
4355 in failover-enabled pools.
4356
4357- Fix a core dump in the client identifier finder code (for host
4358 declarations).
4359
4360- Finish fixing a bug where bogus data would sometimes get logged to
4361 the dhclient.leases file because it was opened as descriptor 2.
4362
4363- Fix the Linux dhclient-script according to suggestions made by
4364 several people on the dhcp-client mailing list.
4365
4366- Log successful DNS updates at LOG_INFO, not LOG_ERROR.
4367
4368- Print an error message and refuse to run if a failover peer is
4369 defined but not referenced by any pools.
4370
4371- Correct a confusing error message in failover.
4372

TL
4385 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8 Patchlevel 1
4386
4387- Fix a parsing bug that broke dns updates (both interim and ad-hoc).
4388 This was introduced in rc8pl1 as an unintended result of the memory
4389 leakage fixes that were in pl1.
4390
4391- Fix a long-standing bug where the server would record that an update
4392 had been done for a client with no name, even though no update had
4393 been done, and then when the client's lease expired the deletion of
4394 that nonexistant record would time out because the name was the null
9a111ee8 4395 string.
d758ad8c
TL
4396
4397- Clean up the omshell, dhcpctl and omapi man pages a bit.

4401- Fix a bug that could cause the DHCP server to spin if
4402 one-lease-per-client was enabled.
4403
4404- Fix a bug that was causing core dumps on BSD/os in the presence of
4405 malformed packets.
4406
4407- In partner-down state, don't restrict lease lengths to MCLT.
4408
4409- On the failover secondary, record the MCLT received from the primary
4410 so that if we come up without a connection to the primary we don't
4411 wind up giving out zero-length leases.
4412
4413- Fix some compilation problems on BSD/os.
4414
4415- Fix a bunch of memory leaks.
4416
4417- Fix a couple of bugs in the option printer.
4418
4419- Fix an obscure error reporting bug in the dns update code, and also
4420 make the message clearer when a key algorithm isn't supported.
4421
4422- Fix a bug in the tracing code that prevented trace runs that used
4423 tcp connections from being played back.
4424
4425- Add some additional debugging capability for catching memory leaks
4426 on exit.
4427
4428- Make the client release the lease correctly on shutdown.
4429
4430- Add some configurability to the build system.
4431
4432- Install omshell manual page in man1, not man8.
4433
4434- Craig Gwydir sent in a patch that fixes a long-standing bug in the
4435 DHCP client that could cause core dumps, but that for some reason
4436 hadn't been noticed until now.
4437
4438 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 7
4439
4440- Fix a bug in failover where we weren't sending updates after a
4441 transition from communications-interrupted to normal.
4442
4443- Handle expired/released/reset -> free transition according to the
4444 protocol specification (this works - the other way not only wasn't
4445 conformant, but also didn't work).
4446
4447- Add a control object in both client and server that allows either
4448 daemon to be shut down cleanly.
4449
4450- When writing a lease, if we run out of disk space, shut down the
4451 output file and insist on writing a new one before proceeding.
4452
4453- In the server, if the OMAPI listener port is occupied, keep trying
4454 to get it, rather than simply giving up and exiting.
4455
4456- Support fetching variables from leases and also updating and adding
4457 variables to leases via OMAPI.
4458
4459- If two failover peers have wildly different clocks, refuse to start
4460 doing failover.
4461
4462- Fix a bug in the DNS update code that could cause core dumps when
4463 running on alpha processors.
4464
4465- Fixed a bug in ddns updates for static lease entries, thanks to a
4466 patch from Andrey M Linkevitch.
4467
4468- Add support for Darwin/MacOS X
4469
4470- Install omshell (including new documentation).
4471
4472- Support DNS updates in the client (this is a very obscure feature
4473 that most DHCP client users probably will not be able to use).
4474
4475- Somewhat cleaner status logging in the client.
4476
4477- Make OMAPI key naming syntax compatible with the way keys are
4478 actually named (key names are domain names).
4479
4480- Fix a bug in the lease file writer.
4481
4482- Install DHCP ISC headers in a different place than BIND 9 ISC
4483 headers, to avoid causing trouble in BIND 9 builds.
4484
4485- Don't send updates for attributes on an object when the attributes
4486 haven't changed. Support deleting attributes on remote objects.
4487
4488- Fix a number of bugs in omshell, and add the unset and refresh
4489 statements.
4490
4491- Handle disconnects in OMAPI a little bit more intelligently (so that
4492 the caller gets ECONNRESET instead of EINVAL).
4493
4494- Fix a bunch of bugs in the handling of clients that have existing
4495 leases when the try to renew their leases while failover is
4496 operating.
4497

TL
4498 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 6
4499
4500- Fix a core dump that could happen when processing a DHCPREQUEST from
4501 a client that had a host declaration that contained both a
4502 fixed-address declaration and a dhcp-client-identifier option
4503 declaration, if the client identifier was longer than nine bytes.
4504
4505- Fix a memory leak that could happen in certain obscure cases when
4506 using omapi to manipulate leases.
4507

4513 chains from having their reference counts decreased on dereference.
4514
4515- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that would prevent object
4516 chains from being freed upon removal of the last reference external
4517 to the chain.
4518
4519- Fix a number of other memory leaks in the OMAPI protocol subsystem.
4520

4535 DHCPDECLINE.
4536
4537- Fix failover peer OMAPI support.
4538
4539- In failover, correctly handle expiration of leases. Previously,
4540 leases would never be reclaimed because they couldn't make the
4541 transition from EXPIRED to FREE.
4542
4543- Fix some broken failover state transitions.
4544
4545- Documentation fixes.
4546
4547- Take out an unnecessary check in DHCP relay agent information option
4548 stashing code that was preventing REBINDING clients from rebinding.
4549
4550- Prevent failover peers from allocating leases in DHCPREQUEST
4551 processing if the lease belongs to the other server.
4552
4553- Record server version in lease file introductory comment.
4554
4555- Correctly report connection errors in OMAPI and failover.
4556
4557- Make authentication signature algorithm name comparisons in OMAPI
4558 case-insensitive.
4559
4560- Fix compile problem on SunOS 4.x
4561
98311e4b 4562- If a signature algorithm is not terminated with '.', terminate it so
eaf0b302
TL
4563 that comparisons between fully-qualified names will work
4564 consistently.
4565
4566- Different SIOCGIFCONF probe code, may "fix" problem on some Linux
4567 systems with the probe not working correctly.

4573- Do lease billing on startup in a way that I *think* will finally do
4574 the billing correctly - the previous method could overbill as a
4575 result of duplicate leases.

4582 Herranz for figuring out the main problem.

4585 core dumps.

4588 Friedrich.

4590- Fix a bug in lease billing, thanks to Jonas Bulow.
4591
4592 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 2
4593
4594- Change the conditions under which a DHCPRELEASE is actually
4595 committed to be consistent with lease binding states rather than
98311e4b 4596 using the lease end time. This may fix some problems with the
892fe689
TL
4597 billing class code.
4598
4599- Fix a bug where lease updates would fail on Digital Unix (and maybe
4600 others) because malloc was called with a size of zero.
4601
4602- Fix a core dump that happens when the DHCP server can't create its
4603 trace file.

79ea3de8 4605 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 1 Patchlevel 1
87784777 4606
79ea3de8
TL
4607- Fix the dhcp_failover_put_message to not attempt to allocate a
4608 zero-length buffer. Some versions of malloc() fail if you try to
4609 allocate a zero-length buffer, and this was causing problems on,
4610 e.g., Digital Unix.
4611
4612- Fix a case where the failover code was printing an error message
4613 when no error had occurred.
4614
4615- Fix a problem where when a server went down and back up again, the
4616 peer would not see a state transition and so would stay in the
4617 non-communicating state.
4618
4619- Be smart about going into recover_wait.
4620
4621- Fix a problem in the failover implementation where peers would fail
4622 to come into sync if interrupted in the RECOVER state. This could
4623 have been the cause of some problems people have reported recently.
4624
4625- Fix a problem with billing classes where they would not be unbilled
4626 when the client lease expired.
4627
4628- If select fails, figure out which descriptor is bad, and cut it out
4629 of the I/O loop. This prevents a potentially nasty spin. I
4630 haven't heard any report it in a while, but it came up consistently
4631 in testing.
4632
4633- Fix a bug in the relay agent where if you specified interfaces on
4634 the command line, it would fail.
4635
4636- Fix a couple of small bugs in the omapi connection object (no known
4637 user impact).
4638
4639- Add the missing 3.0 Beta 1 lease conversion script.
4640
4641- Read dhcp client script hooks if they exist, rather than only if
4642 they're executable.

4683- Fix a bug in the DNS update code where a status code was not being
4684 checked. This may have been causing core dumps.
4685
4686- When parsing the lease file, if a lease declaration includes a
4687 billing class statement, and the lease already has a billing class,
4688 unbill the old class.
4689
4690- When processing failover transactions, where acks will be deferred,
4691 process the state transition immediately.
4692
4693- Don't try to use the new SIOCGIFCONF buffer size detection code on
4694 Linux 2.0, which doesn't provide this functionality.

4700- Fix a parse error in the client when setting up an omapi listener.
4701
4702- Document the -n and -g flags to the client.
4703
4704- Make sure there is always a stdin and stdout on startup. This
4705 prevents shell scripts from accidentally writing error messages into
4706 configuration files that happen to be opened as stderr.
4707
4708- If an interface is removed, the client will now notice that it is
4709 gone rather than spinning. This has only been tested on NetBSD.
4710
4711- The client will attempt to get an address even if it can't create a
4712 lease file.

4759- Implement omshell, which can be used to do arbitrary things to the
4760 server (in theory). (Damien Neil)
4761
4762- Fix a case where if a client had two different leases the server could
4763 actually dereference the second one when it hadn't been referenced,
4764 leading to memory corruption and a core dump. (James Brister)
4765
4766- Fix a case where a client could request the address of another client's
4767 lease, but find_lease wouldn't detect that the other client had it, and
4768 would attempt to allocate it to the client, resulting in a lease conflict
4769 message.
4770
4771- Fix a case where a client with more than one client identifier could be
4772 given a lease where the hardware address was correct but the client
4773 identifier was not, resulting in a lease conflict message.
4774
98311e4b 4775- Fix a problem where the server could write out a colon-separated
3350f5b7
TL
4776 hex list as a value for a variable, which would then not parse.
4777 The fix is to always write strings as quoted strings, with any
4778 non-printable characters quoted as octal escape sequences. So
4779 a file written the old way still won't work, but new files written
4780 this way will work.

4785 break any configuration files that use the option-nnn convention.
4786 If you want to continue to use this convention for some options,
4787 please be sure to write a definition, like this:
4788
4789 option option-nnn code nnn = string;

4791 You can use a descriptive name instead of option-nnn if you like.
4792
4793- Fix a problem where we would see a DHCPDISCOVER/DHCPOFFER/
4794 DHCPREQUEST/DHCPACK/DHCPREQUEST/DHCPNAK sequence. This was the
4795 result of a deceptively silly bug in supersede_lease.

4810- Add support for transaction tracing. This allows the state of the
4811 DHCP server on startup, and all the subsequent transactions, to be
4812 recorded in a file which can then be played back to reproduce the
4813 behaviour of the DHCP server. This can be used to quickly
4814 reproduce bugs that cause core dumps or corruption, and also for
4815 tracking down memory leaks.
4816
4817- Incorporate some bug fixes provided by Joost Mulders for the DLPI
4818 package which should clear up problems people have been seeing on
4819 Solaris.
4820
4821- Fix bugs in the handling of options stored as linked lists (agent
4822 options, fqdn options and nwip options) that could cause memory
4823 corruption and core dumps.

4871- Finish fixing a long-standing bug in the agent options code. This
4872 was causing core dumps and failing to operate correctly - in
4873 particular, agent option stashing wasn't working. Agent option
4874 stashing should now be working, meaning that agent options can be
4875 used in class statements to control address allocation.
4876

4887 transmitting packets to the server. Handy for debugging; not much
4888 practical use otherwise.

4899- Work around the Win98 DHCP client, which NUL-terminates the FQDN
4900 option.

4902- Work around Win98 and Win2k clients that will claim they want to do
4903 the update even when they don't have any way to do it.
4904
4905- Fix some log messages that can be printed when failover is operating
4906 that were not printing enough information.
4907
4908- It was possible for a DHCPDISCOVER to get an allocation even when
4909 the state machine said the server shouldn't be responding.
4910
4911- Don't load balance DHCPREQUESTs from clients in RENEWING and
4912 REBINDING, since in RENEWING, if we heard it, it's for us, and in
4913 REBINDING, the client wouldn't have got to REBINDING if its primary
4914 were answering.

4928 representation from working correctly.
4929
4930- Thanks to Chris Cheney and Michael Sanders, we have a fix for the
4931 hang that they both spotted in the DHCP server - when
4932 one-lease-per-client was set, the code to release the "other" lease
4933 could spin.
4934
4935- Fix a problem with alignment of the input buffer in bpf in cases
4936 where two packets arrive in the same bpf read.
4937
4938- Fix a problem where the relay agent would crash if you specified an
4939 interface name on the command line.
4940
4941- Add the ability to conditionalize client behaviour based on the
4942 client state.
4943
4944- Add support for the FQDN option, and added support for a new way of
4945 doing ddns updates (ddns update style interim) that allows more than
4946 one DHCP server to update the DNS for the same network(s). This
4947 was implemented by Damien Neil with some additional functionality
4948 added by Ted Lemon.
4949
4950- Damien added a "log" statement, so that the configuration file can
4951 be made to log debugging information and other information.
4952
4953- Fixed a bug that caused option buffers not to be terminated with an
4954 end option.
4955
4956- Fixed a long-standing bug in the support for option spaces where the
4957 options are stored as an ordered list rather than in a hash table,
4958 which could theoretically result in memory pool corruption.
4959
4960- Prevent hardware declarations with no actual hardware address from
4961 being written as something unparsable, and behave correctly in the
4962 face of a null hardware address on input.
4963
4964- Allow key names to be FQDNs, and qualify the algorithm name if it is
4965 specified unqualified.
4966
4967- Modify the DDNS update code so that it never prints the "resolver
4968 failed" message, but instead says *why* the resolver failed.

4971 RFC.

5033- Fix a possible DoS attack where a client could cause the checksummer
5034 to dump core. This was a read, not a write, so it shouldn't be
5035 possible to exploit it any further than that.
5036
5037- Implement client- and server-side support for using the Client FQDN
5038 option.
5039
5040- Support for other option spaces in the client has been added. This
5041 means that it is now possible to define a vendor option space on the
5042 client, request options in that space from the server (which must
5043 define the same option space), and then use those options in the
5044 client. This also allows NWIP and Client FQDN options to be used
5045 meaningfully.
5046
5047- Add object initializer support. This means that objects can now be
5048 initialized to something other than all-zeros when allocated, which
5049 makes, e.g., the interface object support code a little more robust.
5050
5051- Fix an off-by-one bug in the host stuffer. This was causing host
