97074fad
TM
32
33! Corrected a reference count leak that occurs when the server builds
6e491dab
TM
34 responses to leasequery packets. Thanks to VictorV of Cyber Kunlun
35 Lab for reporting the issue.

6e491dab 37 CVE: CVS-2022-2928
97074fad 38
3d53b2f2 39 Changes since 4.4.2-P1 (New Features)
397b2947 40
e180ae07
SG
41- Two new OMAPI function calls were added, `dhcpctl_timed_connect()`
42 and `dhcpctl_timed_wait_for_completion()`. These provide timed
e69d9b5b
WW
43 versions of creating a connection and waiting for an operation
44 to complete.
e180ae07 45 [GitLab #76]
e69d9b5b 46
e180ae07 47- The BIND libraries have been updated to the latest version, 9.11.36. This fixes a number
83c52925
TM
48 of compilation issues on various systems, including OpenWRT. Thanks to
49 Philip Prindeville for testing on OpenWRT.
e180ae07 50 [GitLab #218, #171, #180, #192]
29254896 51
e180ae07 52- Support was added for the new DHCPv4 option v6-only-preferred, specified
83c52925
TM
53 in RFC 8925. A new reason code, V6ONLY, was added to the client script
54 and the client Linux script sample was updated.
e180ae07 55 [GitLab #132]
397b2947 56
3d53b2f2 57 Changes since 4.4.2-P1 (Bug Fixes)
6c7e6157 58
e180ae07
SG
59- Minor corrections were made to allow compilation under gcc 10.
60 [GitLab #117]
6c7e6157 61
e180ae07
SG
62- The logic in dhclient that causes it to decline DHCPv4 leases if the
63 client script exits abnormally (i.e. crashes) has been corrected.
64 [GitLab #123]
33e51761 65
e180ae07 66- The limit on the size of a lease file that can be loaded at startup
2e914d00 67 is now only enforced on 32-bit systems.
e180ae07 68 [GitLab #92]
2e914d00 69
83c52925
TM
70- The PRNG initialization has been improved. It now uses the configure flag
71 `--with-randomdev=PATH`, which specifies the device from which to read the
72 initial seed. That is typically `/dev/random` (the default value) or
e180ae07 73 `/dev/urandom`, but may be specified otherwise on the local system. The old
83c52925
TM
74 behavior can be forced by disabling this feature (`--with-randomdev=no`).
75 If the initialization is disabled or reading from the random device fails,
76 the previous algorithm (retrieve the last four bytes of hardware addresses
77 from all network interfaces that have them, and use the current time and
78 process ID) is used.
e180ae07 79 [GitLab #197]
629a4524 80
e180ae07
SG
81- A minor dhclient code fix was made to remove compilation warnings.
82 [GitLab #190]
0c03eaef 83
e180ae07
SG
84- The hard-coded MD5 algorithm name was removed in OMAPI connection logic.
85 Previously, using any other algorithm via a key-algorithm statement would
86 allow OMAPI connections to be made, but subsequent actions such as updating
87 an object would fail.
88 [GitLab #148]
7de26fe7 89
9ea5696d
TM
90- The parallel build has been improved. Thanks to Sergei Trofimovich for
91 the patch. The parallel build is still experimental, as officially the
e180ae07
SG
92 BIND 9 code does not support the parallel build for libraries.
93 [GitLab #91]
9ea5696d 94
e180ae07
SG
95- Handling of LDAP options (`ldap-gssapi-principal` and `ldap-gssapi-keytab`)
96 has been improved. This is contributed code that has not been tested by ISC. Thank
0427f30d 97 you to Petr Mensik and Pavel Zhukov for the patches!
e180ae07 98 [GitLab !56,!75]
0427f30d 99
e180ae07
SG
100- It is now possible to use `option -g ipaddr` in the dhcrelay to replace the giaddr sent to
101 clients with the given ipaddr, to work around bogus clients like Solaris 11
102 grub which use giaddr instead of the announced router (3) to set up their
b5fafe12 103 default route. Thanks to Jens Elkner for the patch!
e180ae07 104 [GitLab #223, !86, !92]
b5fafe12 105
3d53b2f2
TM
106 Changes since 4.4.2 (Bug Fixes)
107
108- Corrected a buffer overwrite possible when parsing hexadecimal
109 literals with more than 1024 octets.
110 [Gitlab #182]
111 CVE: CVE-2021-25217
112
4ad524bd 113 Changes since 4.4.2b1 (Bug Fixes)
e4b6b033
TM
114
115- Added a clarification on DHCPINFORMs and server authority to
116 dhcpd.conf.5
117 [Gitlab #37]
118
5c23b618
TM
119- Only emit lease scrubbing log messages when DEBUG_FAILOVER_MESSAGES
120 is defined.
121 [Gitlab #72]
122
4ad524bd
TM
123- Added the interface name to socket initialization failure log messages.
124 Prior to this the log messages stated only the error reason without
125 stating the target interface.
126 [Gitlab #75]
127
bba906f6 128- Corrected buffer pointer logic in dhcrelay functions that manipulate
afb66401
TM
129 agent relay options. Thanks to Thomas Imbert of MSRC Vulnerabilities
130 & Mitigations for reporting the issue.
83c52925 131 [Gitlab #71]
bba906f6 132
39788b3d
TM
133- Corrected unresolved symbol errors building relay_unittests when
134 configured to build using libtool.
83c52925 135 [Gitlab #80]
39788b3d 136
cce04313 137 Changes since 4.4.1 (New Features)
a5b21e16
TM
138
139- A new configuration parameter, ping-cltt-secs (v4 operation only), has
140 been added to allow the user to specify the number of seconds that must
141 elapse since CLTT before a ping check is conducted. Prior to this, the
0cd94b5e 142 value was hard coded at 60 seconds. Please see the server man pages for
a5b21e16
TM
143 a more detailed discussion.
144 [ISC-Bugs #36283]
cce04313 145
cb89a691
TM
146- A new configuration parameter, ping-timeout-ms (v4 operation only),
147 has been added that allows the user to specify the amount of time
148 the server waits for a ping-check response in milliseconds rather
149 than in seconds (via ping-timeout). When greater than zero, the value
150 of ping-timeout-ms will override the value of ping-timeout. Thanks
151 to Jay Doran from Bluecat Networks for suggesting this feature.
0cd94b5e 152 [Gitlab #10]
cb89a691 153
2ca63671
TM
154- An experimental tool called, Keama (KEA Migration Assistant), which helps
155 translate ISC DHCP configurations to Kea configurations, is now included
156 in the distribution.
157 [Gitlab #34]
158
cce04313
TM
159 Changes since 4.4.1 (Bug Fixes)
160
161- Corrected a misuse of the BIND9 DDNS API which caused DDNS updates to be
162 carried out over TCP rather than UDP. The coding error was exposed by
163 migration to BIND9 9.11. Thanks to Jinmei Tatuya at Infoblox for
164 reporting the issue.
165 [ISC-Bugs #47757]
166
c07eb442
TM
167- Bind9 now defaults to requiring python to build. The Makefile for
168 building Bind9 when bundled with ISC DHCP was modified to turn off
169 this dependency.
0cd94b5e 170 [Gitlab #3]
9ef78585
TM
171
172- Corrected a dual-stack mixed-mode issue that occurs when both
173 ddns-guard-id-must-match and ddns-other-guard-is-dynamic
174 are enabled and that caused the server to incorrectly interpret
175 the presence of a guard record belonging to another client as
176 a case of no guard record at all. Thanks to Fernando Soto
177 from BlueCat Networks for reporting this issue.
0cd94b5e 178 [Gitlab #1]
c07eb442 179
1c779d3b
TM
180- Corrected a compilation issue that occurred when building without DNS
181 update ability (e.g. by undefining NSUPDATE).
0cd94b5e 182 [Gitlab #16]
1c779d3b 183
fce94f06
TM
184- Corrected an issue that was causing the server, when running in
185 DHPCv4 mode, to segfault when class lease limits are reached.
dfcbe359
TM
186 Thanks to Peter Nagy at Porion-Digital for reporting the matter
187 and submitting a patch.
0cd94b5e 188 [Gitlab #13]
fce94f06 189
753d458b 190- Made minor changes to eliminate warnings when compiled with GCC 9.
71277027 191 Thanks to Brett Neumeier for bringing the matter to our attention.
0cd94b5e
TM
192 [Gitlab #15]
193
194- Fixed potential memory leaks in parser error message generation
195 spotted by Coverity, CIDs: 1448191, 1448193, 1448194, 1448195
196 [Gitlab #30]
197
198- Updated URL of IEEE oui.txt in contrib/dhcp-lease-list.pl. Thanks
199 to Tommy Smith for contributing the patch.
200 [Gitlab #26]
201
202- Fixed define flags when using SO_BINDTODEVICE. Thanks to Joe LeVeque for
203 reporting the issue.
204 [GitLab #19]
205
206- Applied a patch from OpenBSD to always set the scope id of outbound
207 DHPCv6 packets. Note this change only applies when compiling under
208 OpenBSD. Thanks to Brad Smith at OpenBSD from bringing it to our
209 attention.
210 [Gitlab #33]
211
212- Modified dhclient to not discard config file leases that are
213 duplicates of server-provided leases and to retain such leases
214 after they have been used as the fallback active lease and
215 DHCP service has been restored. This allows them to be used
82e0ea57 216 more than once during the lifetime of a dhclient instance.
0cd94b5e
TM
217 This applies to DHCPv4 operation only.
218 [Gitlab #9]
219
220- Corrected a number of reference counter and zero-length buffer leaks.
afb66401
TM
221 Thanks to Christopher Ertl of MSRC Vulnerabilities & Mitigations for
222 pointing them out.
0cd94b5e
TM
223 [Gitlab #57]
224
225- Closed a small window of time between the installation of graceful
226 shutdown signal handlers and application context startup, during which
227 the receipt of shutdown signal would cause a REQUIRE() assertion to
228 occur. Note this issue is only visible when compiling with
229 ENABLE_GENTLE_SHUTDOWN defined.
230 [Gitlab #53]
231
232- Corrected a buffer overflow that can occur when retrieving zone
233 names that are more than 255 characters in length.
234 [Gitlab #20]
235
236- The "d" domain name option format was incorrectly handled as text
237 instead of RFC 1035 wire format. Thanks to Jay Doran at BlueCat Networks
238 for reporting this issue.
239 [Gitlab #2]
240
241- Improved the error message issued when a host declaration has both
242 a uid and a dhcp-client-identifier. Server configuration parsing will
243 now fail if a host declaration specifies more than one uid.
244 [Gitlab #7]
753d458b 245
4adcee93
TM
246- Updated developer's documentation on building and running unit tests.
247 Removed support for --with-atf=bind as BIND9 no longer bundles in ATF
248 source.
249 [Gitlab #35]
250
83175640
TM
251- Fixed a syntax error in ldap.c which cropped up under Ubuntu
252 18.04.1/gcc 7.4.0. Thanks to Charles Hedrick for pointing it out.
253 [Gitlab #51]
254
2661204d
TM
255- Added clarification to dhcp-options.5 section on ip-address values
256 describing the first-use DNS resolution of options with hostnames as
257 values (e.g. next-server).
258 [Gitlab #28]
259
9a2f9db5
TM
260- The option format for the server option omapi-key was changed to a
261 format type 'k' (key name); while server options ldap-port and
262 ldap-init-retry were changed to 'L' (unsigned 32-bit integer). These
263 three options were inadvertantly broken when the 'd' format content
264 was changed to comply with RFC 1035 wire format (see Gitlab #2).
265 [Gitlab #68]
266

267 Changes since 4.4.0 (New Features)
268- none
cce04313 269 Changes since 4.4.0 (Bug Fixes)
6826003b
TM
270
271- A delayed-ack value of 0 (the default), now correctly disables the delayed
272 feature. A change in 4.4.0 prohibited lease updates marking leases active
273 from be written to the lease file when delayed-ack is 0. This in turn,
274 caused servers to lose active lease assignments upon restart.
275 [ISC-Bugs #47141]
276
197b26f2
TM
277! Option reference count was not correctly decremented in error path
278 when parsing buffer for options. Reported by Felix Wilhelm, Google
279 Security Team.
280 [ISC-Bugs #47140]
c5931725
TM
281 CVE: CVE-2018-5733
282
283! Corrected an issue where large sized 'X/x' format options were causing
284 option handling logic to overwrite memory when expanding them to human
285 readable form. Reported by Felix Wilhelm, Google Security Team.
286 [ISC-Bugs #47139]
287 CVE: CVE-2018-5732
197b26f2 288
d5118758
TM
289- Added use of new Bind9 compatibility header files, that are now necessary
290 to supply type definitions for primitive data types, removed from Bind9
291 proper. Altered util/bind.sh to pull from Bind9 repo on gitlab.
292 [ISC-Bugs #48072]
293 [ISC-Bugs #48071]
294
d394b602
TM
295 Changes since 4.4.0b1 (New Features)
296
297- Duplicate address detection when binding to a new IPv6 address was added
298 to the following dhclient scripts: linux,freebsd,netbsd,openbsd, and macos.
299 The scripts will check for DAD errors after binding to a new IPv6 address
300 for at most --dad-wait-time seconds. If a DAD error is detected the script
301 will exit with a value of 3, instructing dhclient to decline the address. If
302 dad-wait-time is zero (the default), DAD error checking is not peformed.
303 [ISC-Bugs 46805]
304
efd3b1e2
TM
305- Support for sending and receiving additional DHCP4 options has been added
306 to both the dhcpd and dhclient. Specifically: option codes 93,94, and 97
307 (RFC 4578); code 150 (RFC 5859); and codes 209,219, and 211 (RFC 5071).
308 Beyond configuring, sending, requesting, and receiving these options neither
309 server nor client apply any additional logic based on their values.
310 Thanks to Peter Lewis for requesting this change.
311 [ISC-Bugs 47062]
312
d638452e
TM
313 Changes since 4.4.0b1 (Bug Fixes)
314
315- Added clarifying text to dhcpd.conf.5 explaining the class match expressions
316 cannot rely on the results of executable statements.
317 [ISC-Bugs #45451]
318
db4e4aa2
TM
319- Fixed a bug which causes dhcpd and dhclient to crash on certain
320 systems when given relative path names for lease or pid files on
321 the command line. Affected systems are those on which the C library
322 function, realpath() does not support a second parameter value of
323 NULL (see manpages for realpath(3)).
324 [ISC-Bugs #46957]
325
b94669fa
TM
326- Fixed a build issue when building with embedded BIND9 under OpenBSD that
327 was causing BIND9 build to not generate dns/enumclass.h and dns/enumtype.h.
328 [ISC-Bugs #46971]
329
de964f22
TM
330- Added <dhcp>/m4/README to the distribution tarball. Some versions of
331 ac_local() treat the absence of the m4 subdirectory as error rather than
332 warning. This was causing the call to autoreconf, necessary for building
333 with libtool, to fail.
334 [ISC-Bugs #47075]
335
4aa6129a 336 Changes since 4.4.0a1 (New Features)
7512d88b 337
4aa6129a
TM
338- Added experimental support for relay port (draft-ietf-dhc-relay-port-10.txt)
339 feature for DHCPv4, DHCPv6 and DHCPv4-over-DHCPv6. Relay port has to be
340 enabled at compile time via --enable-relay-port and is fully backward
341 compatible (i.e. works with previous implementations of servers and relays
342 using the standard ports). A new --rp <relay-port> command line option
343 specifies to dhcrelay an alternate source port for upstream (i.e. toward
344 the server) messages. Thanks to Naiming Shen and Enke Chen of Cisco
345 systems for submitting these patches.
346 [ISC-Bugs #44535]
347
348- Added --release-on-roam to dhcpd server. When enabled and the server detects
349 that a DHCPv6 client (IAID+DUID) has roamed to a new network, it will release
350 the pre-existing leases on the old network and emit a log statement similar
351 to the following:
352
353 "Client: <id> roamed to new network, releasing lease: <address>"
354
355 The server will carry out all of the same steps that would normally occur
356 when a client explicitly releases a lease. This behavior is disabled by
357 default and may only be specified globally. Prior to this the server renders
358 the leases unavailable until they expire or the server is restarted. Clients
359 that need leases in multiple networks must supply a unique IAID in each IA.
360 When release-on-roam is disabled (the default) the server maintains the
361 prior behavior of making such leases unavailable until they expire or the
362 server is restarted. Clients that need leases in multiple networks must
363 supply a unique IAID in each IA. This parameter may only be specified at
364 the global level. Thanks to Fernando Soto from BlueCat Networks for
365 suggesting this change.
366 [ISC-Bugs #44576]
367 [ISC-Bugs #46849]
368
369- Support for delayed-ack is now compiled in by default. Prior to this
370 it had to be enabled at compile time via --enable-delayed-acks. The
371 default value for delayed-ack, however, has been changed from 28 to 0
372 (i.e. disabled). This was done to minimize the impact on users not
373 currently using the feature. Please note that the delayed-ack feature
374 is not currently compatible with support for DHPCv4-over-DHCPv6 so
375 when a 4to6 port command line argument enables this in the server the
376 delayed-ack value is reset to 0.
377 [ISC-Bugs #42446]
378
379- The server (-6) now honors the parameter, update-static-leases, for static
380 (fixed-address6) DHCPv6 leases. It is worth noting that because stateful
381 data is not retained by the server for static leases, each time a client
382 requests or renews a static lease, the server will perform DDNS updates for
383 it. This may have significant performance implications for environments
384 with many clients that request or renew static leases often. Similarly,
385 the DNS entries will not be removed by server when a client issues a RELEASE
386 nor if the lease is deleted from the configuration. In such cases the DNS
387 entries must be removed manually. This feature is disabled by default.
388 Thanks to both Bill Shirley and dgutier-at-cern-dot-ch for requesting
389 this change.
390 [ISC-Bugs #34097]
391 [ISC-Bugs #41054]
392 [ISC-Bugs #41450]
393
394- Added to the server (-6) a new statement, local-address6, which specifies
395 the source address of packets sent by the server. An additional flag,
396 bind-local-address6, disabled by default, binds the service socket to
397 to local-address6. Note that bind-local-address does not work with direct
398 clients: a relay has to forward packets to the server using the
399 local-address6 destination.
400 [ISC-Bugs #46084]
401
402 Changes since 4.4.0a1 (Bugs)
403
404- The server now recognizes environment variables PATH_DHCPD_DB and
405 PATH_DHCPD_PID. These had been incorrectly compiled out of the code
406 unless DHCPv6 support was disabled. Additionally, the server man
407 pages were corrected to accurately reflect how the server chooses
408 file names (see lease-file-name and pid-file-name statements). Thanks
7932503f

409 to Fernando Soto at Bluecat Networks for bringing this matter to our
410 attention.

TM
411 [ISC-Bugs #46859]
412
413- Removed an "Impossible condition" error upon exit in the dhcpd server that
414 has been shutdown via OMAPI. This condition was only apparent under Solaris
415 when building with --enable-use-sockets and --enable-ipv4-pktinfo.
416 [ISC-Bugs #36118]
417
65eed5c1 418- Corrected some minor Coverity issues: CID 1426059, 1426058, and 1426057.

FD
426- Added --enable-bind-install to install embedded bind includes and
427 libraries. Default is to not install them (it was the previous
428 behavior). If you'd like to change the includedir and/or libdir
5a67b030
FD
429 installation directories to something different than for ISC DHCP
430 you must pass them using the --with-bind-extra-config configuration
431 arguments.

FD
434- Added support of dynamic shared libraries with libtool. A new
435 --enable-libtool configuration parameter is available but
436 should not be used directly: *please* read the build configuration
437 section in the README file for the recommended procedure.
438 [ISC-Bugs #29402]

TM
440- IPv6 operation now supports an EUI-64 based address allocation which will
441 calculate addresses for clients with EUI-64 DUIDs based on those DUIDs when
442 enabled by setting use-eui-64 true. The parameter may defined down to the
443 pool scope. Note this feature must be compiled in by defining EUI_64 in
444 includes/site.h. This flag is undefined by default.

TM
447- The directory includes/isc-dhcp and it's only occupant, dst.h, have
448 been removed from the source tree. They are obsolete for branches
449 other than v4_1_esv.

TM
452- Replaced ISC licensing with Mozilla Public License, MPL 2.0 licensing
453 throughout. Please see https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/MPL/2.0/ to read
454 the MPL 2.0 license terms.

TM
457- Load balancing for failover peers can now be disabled by setting
458 "load balance max secs" to 0. Doing so for both peers means both
459 servers will respond to all DHCPDISCOVERs or DHCPREQUESTs as soon as
460 they are received.
461 [ISC-Bugs #39669]
462
c0e9661e

463- Added a new dhclient command line parameter, --prefix-len-hint <length>.
464 When used in conjunction with -P, it directs dhclient to use the given
d8805cee
TM
465 length as the prefix length hint when requesting prefixes. Thanks to both
466 Indy, of the FireballISO open source project and H. Peter Anvin for
467 suggesting this change.

472
473- dhclient will now wait for 10 seconds after declining an IPv4 address
474 before issuing a discover. This is in keeping with RFC 2131, section 3.1.5.
475 Prior to this dhclient did not wait at all. The amount of time dhclient
476 waits can be specified via a new command line parameter:
477 --decline-wait-time <seconds>. A value of zero equates to no wait at all.

482- dhclient will now include the lease address when logging DHCPOFFERs,
483 DHCPREQUESTs, DHCPACKs, DHCPRELEASEs, and DHCPDECLINEs. Additionally,
484 DHCPOFFERs will be logged before their corresponding DHCPREQUESTs are
485 sent and logged.

d6057334
TM
488- When given the -T command line argument, in addition to reading the
489 current lease file, the server will write the leases to a temporary
490 lease file. This can help detect issues in server configuration that
491 only surface when leases are written to the file. The current lease
492 file will not be modified and the temporary lease file is removed upon
493 completion of the test.
494 [ISC-Bugs #22267]
495
0f69ff73
TM
496- dhclient will now generate a DHCPv6 DECLINE message containing all IA_NA
497 addresses which for which the client script indicates a DAD failure. After
498 receiving the DECLINE reply, dhclient will restart the solicit process.
499 Note, the client script must exit with a value of 3 to signify that the
500 address failed DAD. Thanks to Jiri Popelka of Red Hat for submitting the
501 patch that was the foundation for this change.

TM
507- Replaced compilation option, enable-secs-byteorder, with a run-time, server
508 configuration parameter, check-secs-byte-order. When enabled, the
509 server will check for clients that do the byte ordering on the secs field
510 incorrectly. This field should be in network byte order but some clients
511 get it wrong. When this parameter is enabled the server will examine the
512 secs field and if it looks wrong (high byte non zero and low byte zero) swap
513 the bytes. The default is disabled. This parameter is only useful when
514 doing load balancing within failover.

b53ba157
TM
517- The default value for server (-6) parameter, prefix-length-mode, has been
518 changed from "exact" to "prefer". In "prefer" mode the server will offer
519 the first available prefix with the same length as that requested by the
520 client. If none are found then it will offer the first available prefix of
521 any length. This is more in line with with RFC 8168 and should improve
522 the out-of-the-box user experience.

524 [ISC-Bugs #45615]
525
bbdac71d
TM
526- Added support for 'dhcp-cache-threshold' to IPv6 operation: If a client
527 renews before 'dhcp-cache-threshold' percent of its lease has elapsed
528 (default 25%), the server will reuse the allocated lease (provide a
529 lease within the currently allocated lease-time) rather than extend or
530 renew the lease. This allows the server to reply without needlessly
531 writing leases to disk. The preferred and valid lease lifetimes
532 sent to the client will be reduced by the age of the lease. The option
533 may be specified down to the pool level and is supported for all three
534 pool types: NA, TA, and PD.

536
905c58b9
TM
537- Added three new server configuration parameters which influence DDNS:
538 1. ddns-dual-stack-mixed-mode - alters DNS conflict resolution behavior
539 to mitigate issues with non-compliant clients in dual stack environments.
540
541 2. ddns-guard-id-must-match - relaxes the DHCID RR client id matching
542 requirement of DNS conflict resolution.
543
2f3eca17 544 3. ddns-other-guard-is-dynamic - alters dual-stack-mixed-mode behavior to

TM
550- A "key-algorithm <algorithm>" statement has been added to omshell to
551 allow the specification of the key algorithm to use during transaction
552 authentication. Prior to this it was hard-coded to be hmac-md5. It now
553 supports all of the same algorithms as the dhcpd server: hmac-md5 (the
554 default), hmac-sha1, hmac-sha224, hmac-sha256, hmac-sha384, and hmac-sha512.
555 [ISC-Bugs #46771]
556
c2e5ee28
TM
557- Added a server configuration parameter, persist-eui-64-leases, which
558 determines whether or not EUI-64 based leases are written to the
559 leases file. Default is true.
560 [ISC-Bugs #45046]
561
140612c8 562- Changed the default value of the prefix length passed by dhclient into the
a804fcc0
TM
563 client script for each IPv6 address from 64 to 128. This was done to comply
564 with RFC3315bis draft (-09, page 64) and RFC5942, Section 4, point 1.
565 In addition, dhclient now supports a command line argument,
566 --address-prefix-len, which may be used to override the default value.
567 **WARNING**: This change may not be backwardly compatible with your
568 environment. If you are operating without a router, such as between VMs on
569 a host, you may find they cannot see each with prefix length of 128. In
570 such cases, you'll need to either provide routing or use the command line
571 parameter to set the value to 64. Alternatively you may change the default
572 at compile time by setting DHCLIENT_DEFAULT_PREFIX_LEN in includes/site.h.

TM
582- Corrected an issue where the server would return a client's previously
583 released prefix lease even when the client provides a prefix length
584 hint that does not match the prior lease. Now the server will only
585 return the previous lease if it exactly matches the hint. If not
586 it will attempt to allocate a new prefix based on the hint and the
587 prefix-length-mode. Thanks to Tim DeNike - Lightspeed Communications
588 for pointing out the error of our ways.

592 in BIND9 (see BIND9 ticket #46311). Prior to this the build was failing
593 with implicit function declarations errors for POST() and INSIST().
594 [ISC-bugs #46332]
d1489a35 595
0e76cb91
TM
596- Added to code ignore empty IPv4 host name option (code 12). While RFC 2132
597 states the option cannot be empty, some clients are apparently capable of
598 sending it. Prior to this the server was attempting to use it and store it
599 in the lease file causing issues with DDNS and so forth.

631- The server now allows the client identifier (option 61) to own leases
632 in more than one subnet concurrently. Prior to this the server would
633 incorrectly release an existing lease in one subnet prior to assigning
634 a lease in another subnet. Note that the prior behavior can be still
635 be achieved by enabling one-lease-per-client. Thanks to both David Zych at
636 the University of Illinois and Norm Proffitt of Infoblox for reporting

673- On 64-bit platforms, dhclient now generates the correct value for the
674 script environment variable, "expiry", the lease expiry value exceeds
675 0x7FFFFFFF. Prior to this such values would produce negative values
676 for expiry in the script environment.

685- DHCP6 FQDN option unpacking code now correctly handles values that contain
686 spaces, special, or non-printable characters. Prior to this the buffer
687 size needed was underestimated causing a conversion error message to
688 be logged and DNS updates to be skipped. Thanks to Fernando Soto at

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

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

20931f53 711
0e76cb91
TM
712- Added --dad-wait-time parameter to dhclient. It specifies the maximum time,
713 in seconds, that the client process should wait for the duplicate address
714 detection to complete before initiating DHCP requests. This value is
715 propagated to the dhclient script and the script is responsible for waiting
716 the specified amount of time or until DAD has completed. If the script does
717 not support it, specifying this parameter has no effect. The default value
718 is 0 which specifies that the script should not wait for DAD. With this
719 change the following scripts have been modified to support the new parameter:
720 freebsd, linux, macos, netbsd, openbsd.

TM
723- The server nows checks both the address and length of a prefix delegation
724 when attempting to match it to a prefix pool. This ensures the server
725 responds properly when pool configurations change such that once valid,
726 "in-pool" delegations are now treated as being invalid. During lease
727 file loading at startup, the server will discard any PD leases that
728 are deemed "out-of-pool" either by address or mis-matched prefix length.
729 Clients seeking to renew or rebind such leases will get a response of
730 No Binding in the case of the former, and the prefix delegation with
731 lifetimes set to zero in the case of the latter. Thanks to Mark Nejedlo
732 at TDS Telecom for reporting this issue.

736 opened by the server (dhcpd) at startup if ddns-update-style is not "none";
737 by dhclient only if and when the it first attempts an update; and never by
738 dhcrelay. Prior to this all three always did the initialization at startup
739 which causes them to always open on and listen for traffic on two random
740 ports. Thanks to Rodney Beede for reporting this issue.

1103 for large blocks of v4 leases and should provide a slightly better error
1104 message. Note well: the server pre-allocates v4 addresses, if you use
1105 a large range, such as a /8, the server will attempt to use a large
1106 amount of memory and may not start if there either isn't enough memory
1107 or the size exceeds what the code supports.

1110- The server will now reject unicast Request, Renew, Decline, and Release
1111 messages from a client unless the server would have sent that client the
1112 dhcp6.unicast option. This behavior is in compliance with paragraph 1 in
1113 each of the sections 18.2,1, 18.2.3, 18.2.6, and 18.2.7 of RFC 3315. Prior
1114 to this, the server would simply accept the messages. Now, in order for
1115 the server to accept such a message, the server configuration must include
1116 the dhcp6.unicast option either globally or within the shared network to
1117 which the requested lease belongs. In other words, the server will map
1118 the first IA_XX address found within the client message to a shared-network
1119 and look for the presence of the unicast option there and then globally.

1188- Corrected an issue in v6 lease file parsing. Prior to this, when encountering
1189 a lease with an address for which no configured pool exists, the server was
1190 declaring the lease file corrupt and incorrectly skipping over the subsequent
1191 entry in the file. The server will now emit a log message indicating that
1192 no pool was found for the address (or prefix) and correctly resume parsing
1193 with the next entry in the lease file. Our thanks to Michal Žejdl for
1194 reporting the issue.
1195 [ISC-Bugs #39314]
1196
1197- Be more liberal in finding a subnet group associated with a static
1198 prefix. When we added the class matching code for v6 we also added
1199 a requirement that the static prefix must be within a subnet the
1200 client was in, in order to find the proper statements. We now
1201 look for a subnet based on the prefix, failing that on the static
1202 address for the client and failing that on the shared network
1203 itself.
1204 [ISC-Bugs #38329]

1208 the encoding specified by the vendor-option-space statement.

1216- Relax the requirement that prefix pools must be within the subnet.
1217 This was added in as part of #32453 in order to avoid configuration
1218 mistakes but is being removed as prefixes aren't required to be
1219 within the same subnet and many people configure them in that fashion.
1220 [ISC-Bugs #40077]
1221
1222- Fixed a server crash that could occur when the server attempts to remove
1223 the billing class from the last lease billed to a dynamic class after said
1224 class has been deleted. Our thanks to Lasse Pesonen for reporting the
1225 issue.

1255 Thanks to Frédéric Perrin from Brocade for finding the issue
1256 and suggesting a patch.
1257 [ISC-Bugs #39279]
1258
1259 Changes since 4.3.2rc2
1260- None
1261
1262 Changes since 4.3.2rc1
1263
1264- Corrected a compilation error introduced by the fix for ISC-Bugs #37415.
1265 The error occurs on Linux variants that do not support VLAN tag information
1266 in packet auxiliary data. The configure script now only enables inclusion
1267 of the VLAN tag-based logic if it is supported by the underlying OS.
1268 [ISC-Bugs #38677]
1269
1270 Changes since 4.3.2b1
1271
1272- Specifying the option, --disable-debug, on the configure script command line
1273 now disables debug features. Prior to this, specifying --disable-debug
1274 incorrectly enabled debug features. Thanks to Gustavo Zacarias for reporting
1275 the issue.
1276 [ISC-Bugs #37780]
1277
1278- Unit test execution now uses a path augmented during configuration
1279 processing of the --with-atf option to locate ATF runtime tools, atf-run
1280 and atf-report. For most installations of ATF, this should alleviate the
1281 need to manually include them in the PATH, as was formerly required.
1282 If the configure script cannot locate the tools it will emit a warning,
1283 informing the user that the tools must be in the PATH when running unit
1284 tests.
1285 Secondly, please note that "make check" will now exit with a failure status
1286 code (non-zero) if one or more unit tests fail. This means that invoking
1287 "make check" from an upper level directory will cause the make process to
1288 STOP after the first test subdirectory with failed test(s). To force all
1289 tests in all subdirectories to run, regardless of individual test outcome,
1290 use the command "make -k check".
1291 [ISC-Bugs #38619]
1292

1299 additional algorithms: hmac-sha1, hmac-sha224, hmac-sha256, hmac-sha384,
1300 and hmac-sha512
1301 [ISC-Bugs #36947]
1302
1303- Added check for invalid failover message type. Thanks to Tobias Stoeckmann

1307
1308- Corrected rate limiting checks for bad packet logging. Thanks to Tobias
1309 Stoeckmann working with the OpenBSD project who spotted the issue and

1311 [ISC-Bugs #36897]
1312
1313- Log statements depicting what files will be used by the server now occur
1314 after the configuration file has been processed.
1315 [ISC-Bugs #36671]
1316
1317- Addressed Coverity issues reported as of 07-31-2014:
1318 [ISC-Bugs #36712] Corrects Coverity reported "high" impact issues.
1319 [ISC-Bugs #36933] Corrects Coverity reported "medium" impact issues
1320 [ISC-Bugs #37708] Fixes compilation error in dst_api.c seen in older
1321 compilers that was introduced by #36712
1322
1323- Server now supports a failover split value of 256.
1324 [ISC-Bugs] #36664]
1325
1326- Remove unneeded error #defines. These defines were included in case
1327 external programs required the older versions of the macro. They
1328 have been #ifdeffed for now and will be removed at a future date.
1329 See site.h for the #define to include them again, but you should
1330 switch to using the DHCP_R_* versions instead of the ISC_R_* versions.
1331 Also ISC_R_MULTIPLE has been removed as it is also defined in bind.
1332 [ISC-Bugs #37128]
1333
1334- Added checks in range6 and prefix6 statement parsing to ensure addresses
1335 are within the declared subnet. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the
1336 bug report and patch.

1341 [ISC-Bugs #28883]
1342
1343- Addressed checksum issues:
1344 Added checksum readiness check to Linux packet filtering which eliminates
1345 invalid packet drops due to checksum errors when checksum offloading is
1346 in use. Based on dhcp-4.2.2-xen-checksum.patch made to the Fedora project.

1353 Inbound packets with UDP checksums of 0xffff now validate correctly rather
1354 than being dropped.
1355 [ISC-Bugs #24216]
1356 [ISC-Bugs #25587]
1357
1358- Added the echo-client-id configuration parameter to the server configuration.
1359 The server now supports RFC 6842 compliant behavior by setting a new
1360 configuration parameter, echo-client-id. When enabled, the server will
1361 include the client identifier option (Option code 61) if received, in its
1362 responses. The server identifier returned in NAKs (if enabled) will now
1363 be the globally defined value (if one) if the server cannot attribute the
1364 inbound request to a known subnet.
1365 [ISC-Bugs #35958]
1366 [ISC-Bugs #32545]
1367
1368- Added support of the configuration parameter, use-host-decl-names, to
1369 BOOTP request handling.
1370 [ISC-Bugs #36233]
1371
1372- Added logic to ignore the signal, SIGPIPE, which ensures write failures
1373 will be delivered as errors rather than as SIGPIPE signals on all OSs.
1374 Thanks to Marius Tomaschewski from SUSE who reported the issue and provided
1375 the patch upon which the fix is based.
1376 [ISC-Bugs #32222]
1377
1378- In the failover code, handle the case of communications being interrupted
1379 when the servers are dealing with POTENTIAL-CONFLICT. This patch allows
1380 the primary to accept the secondary moving from POTENTIAL-CONFLICT to
1381 RESOLUTION-INTERRUPTED as well as handling the bind update process better.
1382 In addition the code to resend update or update all requests has been
1383 modified to send requests more often.
1384 [ISC-Bugs #36810]
1385 [ISC-Bugs #20352]
1386
1387- By default, the server will now choose the value to use in the forward DNS
1388 name from the following in order of preference:
1389
1390 1. FQDN option if provided by the client
1391 2. Host name option if provided by the client
1392 3. Configured option host-name if defined
1393
1394 As before, this may be overridden by defining ddns-hostname to the desired
1395 value (or expression). In addition, the server logic has been extended to
1396 use the value of the host name declaration if use-host-decl-names is enabled
1397 and no other value is available.
1398 [ISC-Bugs #21323]
1399
1400- DNS updates were being attempted when dhcp-cache-threshold enabled the use of
1401 the existing lease and the forward DNS name had not changed. This has been
1402 corrected.
1403 [ISC-Bugs #37368]
1404 [ISC-Bugs #38636]
1405
1406- Corrected an issue which caused dhclient to incorrectly form the result when
1407 prepending or appending to the IPv4 domain-search option, received from the
1408 server, when either of the values being combined contain compressed
1409 components.
1410 [ISC-Bugs #20558]
1411
1412- Added the server-id-check parameter to the server configuration.
1413 This parameter allows run-time control over whether or not a server,
1414 participating in failover, verifies the dhcp-server-identifier option in
1415 DHCP REQUESTs against the server's id before processing the request.
1416 Formerly, enabling this behavior was done at compilation time through
1417 the use of the #define, SERVER_ID_CHECK, which has been removed from site.h
1418 The functionality is now only available through the new runtime parameter.
1419 [ISC-Bugs #37551]
1420
1421- During startup, when the server encounters a lease whose binding state is
1422 FTS_BACKUP but whose pool has no configured failover peer, it will reset the
1423 lease's binding state to FTS_FREE. This allows the leases to be reclaimed
1424 by the server after a pool's configuration has changed from failover to
1425 standalone. Prior to this such leases would remain stuck in the backup state
1426 making them unavailable for assignment. Note this conversion will occur
1427 whether or not the server is compiled for failover.
1428 [ISC-Bugs #36960]
1429
1430- Fixed a small issue in the treatment of hosts in the inform processing
1431 that could cause the response to an inform to include information from
1432 the wrong scope. The two examples we've heard of are getting subnet
1433 instead of group information associated with a host entry, or getting
1434 global information instead of subnet if the host entry was built via
1435 omapi. Thanks to Julien Soula at University of Lille for finding the
1436 bug and supplying a patch.
1437 [ISC-Bugs #35712]
1438
1439- Avoid calling pool_timer() recursively from supersede_lease(). This could
1440 result in leases changing state incorrectly or delaying the running of the
1441 leae expiration code.
1442 [ISC-Bugs #38002]
1443
1444- Move the check for a PID file and process to be before we rewrite the
1445 lease file. This avoids the possibility of starting a second instance
1446 of a server which changes the current lease file confusing the first
1447 instance. This check is only included if the admin hasn't disabled PID
1448 files.
1449 [ISC-Bugs #38078]
1450 [ISC-Bugs #38143]
1451
1452- In the client code change the way preferred_life and max_life are printed
1453 for environment variables to be unsigned rather than signed.
1454 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the bug report and patch.
1455 [ISC-Bugs #37084]
1456
1457- Modified Linux packet handling such that packets received via VLAN are now
1458 seen only by the VLAN interface. Prior to this, such packets were seen by
1459 both the VLAN interface and its parent (physical) interface, causing the
1460 server to respond to both. Note this remains an issue for non-Linux OSs.
1461 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the patch.
1462 [ISC-Bugs #37415]
1463 [ISC-Bugs #37133]
1464 [ISC-Bugs #36668]
1465 [ISC-Bugs #36652]
1466
1467- Log content has been changed to more directly suggest that admins should
1468 check for multiple IPv6 clients attempting to use the same DUID when only
1469 abandoned addresses are available. Debug level logging will now emit counts
1470 of the total number of, in-use, and abandoned addresses in a shared subnet
1471 when the server finds no addresses available for a given DUID. Lastly,
1472 threshold logging is now automatically disabled for shared subnets whose
1473 total number of possible addresses exceeds (2^64)-1.
1474 [ISC-Bugs #26376]
1475 [ISC-Bugs #38131]
1476
1477- Added a global parameter, prefix-length-mode, which may be used to determine
1478 how the server uses a non-zero value for prefix-length supplied by clients
1479 when soliciting DHCPv6 prefixes. The server supports selection modes of:
1480 ignore, prefer, exact, minimum and maximum which are described in detail in
1481 the server man pages. The prior behavior of the server was to only offer a
1482 prefix whose length exactly matched the prefix-length value requested. If
1483 no such prefixes were available, the server returned a status of none
1484 available. Note the default mode, "exact", provides this same behavior.
1485 [ISC-Bugs #36780]
1486 [ISC-Bugs #32228]
1487
1488- Corrected inconsistencies in dhcrelay's setting the upper interface hop count
1489 limit such that it now sets it to 32 when the upstream address is a multicast
1490 address per RFC 3315 Section 20. Prior to this if the -u argument preceded
1491 the -l argument on the command line or if the same interface was specified
1492 for both; the logic to set the hop limit count for the upper interface was
1493 skipped. This caused the hop count limit to be set to the default value
1494 (typically 1) in the outbound upstream packets.
1495 [ISC-Bugs #37426]
1496
1497 Changes since 4.3.1b1
1498
1499- Modify the linux and openwrt dhclient scripts to process information

1652 and our website for directions on bug submissions.

6980ae03 1655 Changes since 4.2.0 (new features)
51b8a8a0
SR
1656
1657- If a client renews before 'dhcp-cache-threshold' percent of its lease
1658 has elapsed (default 25%), the server will reuse the allocated lease
1659 (provide a lease within the currently allocated lease-time) rather
1660 than extend or renew the lease. This absolves the server of needing
1661 to perform an fsync() operation on the lease database before reply,
1662 which improves performance. [ISC-Bugs #22228]
80778e94 1663 Updated this patch to support asynchronous DDNS. If the server is
adb95d23 1664 attempting to do DDNS on a lease it should be updated and written to
4809ef5c 1665 disk even if that wouldn't be necessary due to the thresholding.
8cd88e20 1666 [ISC-Bugs #26311]
51b8a8a0 1667
6980ae03
SR
1668- The 'no available billing' log line now also logs the name of the last
1669 matching billing class tried before failing to provide a billing.
1670 [ISC-Bugs #21759]
1671
32e651c4
SR
1672- A problem with missing get_hw_addr function when --enable-use-sockets
1673 was used is now solved on GNU/Linux, BSD and GNU/Hurd systems. Note
1674 that use-sockets feature was not tested on those systems. Client and
1675 server code no longer use MAX_PATH constant that is not defined on
3cb6f9bb 1676 GNU/Hurd systems. [ISC-Bugs #25979]
32e651c4 1677
67418698
SR
1678- Add a perl script in the contrib directory, dhcp-lease-list.pl, which
1679 can parse v4 lease files and output the lease information in a more
1680 human friendly manner. This was written by Christian Hammers with
1681 some updates by vom and ISC. This is contributed code and is not
1682 supported by ISC; however it may be useful to some users.
1683 [ISC-Bugs #20680]
1684
a7341359 1685- Add support in v6 for on-commit, on-expire and on-release.
4809ef5c 1686 [ISC-Bugs #27912]
a7341359 1687
01fa619f
SR
1688- Add support for using classes with v6.
1689 [ISC-Bugs #26510]
1690
d7d9c0c7
SR
1691- Update the DDNS code to current standards and allow for sharing
1692 of DDNS entries between v4 and v6 clients. The new code is used
1693 if the ddns-update-style is set to "standard", the older code is
1694 still available if ddns-update-style is set to "interim". The
1695 oldest DDNS code "ad-hoc" has been removed. Thanks to Thomas Pegeot
1696 who submitted a patch for this issue. This patch is based on
1697 that work with some modifications.
64fb661c 1698 [ISC-Bugs #21139]
1534fff7 1699
cde11a4c
SR
1700- Add a configuration option to the server to suppress using fsync().
1701 Enabling this option will mean that fsync() is never called. This
1702 may provide better performance but there is also a risk that a lease
1703 will not be properly written to the disk after it has been issued
1704 to a client and before the server stops. Using this option is
1705 not recommended.
64fb661c 1706 [ISC-Bugs #34810]
cde11a4c 1707
f88446f1
SR
1708- Add some logging statements to indicate when the server is ready
1709 to serve. One statement is emitted after the server has finished
1710 reading its files and is about to enter the dispatch loop.
1711 This is "Server starting service.".
1712 The second is emitted when a server determines that both it and
1713 its failover peer are in the normal state.
1714 This is "failover peer <name>: Both servers normal."
64fb661c 1715 [ISC-Bugs #33208]
f88446f1 1716
619304cd
SR
1717- Add support for accessing options from v6 relays. The v6relay
1718 statement allows the administrator to choose which relay to
1719 use when searching for an option, see the dhcp-options man page
6b9c9f87
SR
1720 for a description. The host-identifier option has also been
1721 updated to support the use of relay options, see the dhcpd.conf
619304cd
SR
1722 man page for a description.
1723 [ISC-Bugs #19598]
1724
e54ff84f 1725- When doing DDNS if there isn't an appropriate zone statement attempt
80778e94 1726 to find a reasonable nameserver via a DNS resolver. This restores
e54ff84f
SR
1727 some functionality that was lost in the transition to asynchronous
1728 DDNS. Due to the lack of security and increase in fragility of the
1729 system when using this feature we strongly recommend the use of
1730 appropriate zone statements rather than using this functionality.
1731 [ISC-Bugs #30461]
1732
61ef216b
SR
1733- Add support for specifying the address from which to send
1734 DDNS updates on the DHCP server. There are two new options
1735 "ddns-local-address4" and "ddns-local-address6" that each take
1736 one instance of their respective address types.
1737 [ISC-Bugs #34779]
4d079f0e 1738
38ee81bd
SR
1739- Add ignore-client-uids option in the server. This option causes
1740 the server to not record a client's uid in its lease. This
1741 violates the specification but may also be useful when a client
1742 can dual boot using different client ids but the same mac address.
6b9c9f87 1743 Thank you to Brian De Wolf at Cal Poly Pomona for the patch.

SR
1746
1747- Extend the DHCPINFORM processing to honor the subnet selection option
1748 and take host declarations into account.
1749 Thanks to Christof Chen for testing and submitting the patch.
1750 [ISC-Bugs #35015]
1751
fe2ac9e3
SR
1752- Extend the hardware expression to look into the lease structure
1753 for a hardware address if there is no packet. This allows the
1754 server to find the hardware address during on-expiry processing.
1755 [ISC-Bugs #24584]
61ef216b 1756
bc30c84e

01a44a77 1761 Changes since 4.2.0 (bug fixes)
8ee352ee 1762
01a44a77
SR
1763- When using 'ignore client-updates;', the FQDN returned to the client
1764 is no longer truncated to one octet.
8ee352ee 1765
01a44a77 1766- Cleaned up an unused hardware address variable in nak_lease().
4889a646 1767
01a44a77
SR
1768- Manpage entries for the ia-pd and ia-prefix options were updated to
1769 reflect support for prefix delegation.
4889a646 1770
01a44a77 1771- Cleaned up some compiler warnings
7dc4e69c 1772
01a44a77
SR
1773- An optimization described in the failover protocol draft is now included,
1774 which permits a DHCP server operating in communications-interrupted state
1775 to 'rewind' a lease to the state most recently transmitted to its peer,
1776 greatly increasing a server's endurance in communications-interrupted.
1777 This is supported using a new 'rewind state' record on the dhcpd.leases
1778 entry for each lease.
c5bc8b1a 1779
01a44a77 1780- Fix the trace code which was broken by the changes to the DDNS code.
d0a10f6a 1781
01a44a77
SR
1782- Update the fsync code to work with the changes to the DDNS code. It now
1783 uses a timer instead of noticing if there are no more packets to process.
dc9d7b08 1784
01a44a77
SR
1785- When constructing the DNS name structure from a text string append
1786 the root to relative names. This satisfies a requirement in the DNS
1787 library that names be absolute instead of relative and prevents DHCP
1788 from crashing. [ISC-Bugs #21054]
a24b9f23 1789
01a44a77
SR
1790- "The LDAP Patch" that has been circulating for some time, written by
1791 Brian Masney and S.Kalyanasundraram and maintained for application to
1792 the DHCP-4 sources by David Cantrell has been included. Please be
1793 advised that these sources were contributed, and do not yet meet the
1794 high standards we place on production sources we include by default.
1795 As a result, the LDAP features are only included by using a compile-time
1796 option which defaults off, and if you enable it you do so under your
1797 own recognizance. We will be improving this software over time.
1798 [ISC-Bugs #17741]
c5bc8b1a 1799

1801 [ISC-Bugs #21092]
cc17cbc3 1802
01a44a77
SR
1803! Accept a client id of length 0 while hashing. Previously the server would
1804 exit if it attempted to hash a zero length client id, providing attackers
1805 with a simple denial of service attack. [ISC-Bugs #21253]
1806 CERT: VU#541921 - CVE: CVE-2010-2156
08b2d347 1807
01a44a77 1808- A memory leak in ddns processing was closed. [ISC-Bugs #21377]
08b2d347 1809
01a44a77
SR
1810- Modify the exception handling for initial context creation. Previously
1811 we would try and clean up before exiting. This could present problems
1812 when the cleanup required part of the context that wasn't available. It
1813 also didn't do much as we exited afterwards anyway. Now we simply log
1814 the error and exit. [ISC-Bugs #21093]
ad4001ce 1815
01a44a77
SR
1816- A bug was fixed that could cause the DHCPv6 server to advertise/assign a
1817 previously allocated (active) lease to a client that has changed subnets,
1818 despite being on different shared networks. Dynamic prefixes specifically
1819 allocated in shared networks also now are not offered if the client has
1820 moved. [ISC-Bugs #21152]
3cb6f9bb 1821
01a44a77 1822- Add some debugging output for use with the DDNS code. [ISC-Bugs #20916]
f6dc164f 1823
01a44a77
SR
1824- Fix the trace code to handle timing events better and to truncate a file
1825 before using instead of overwriting it. [ISC-Bugs #20969]
4b8251a0 1826
01a44a77
SR
1827- Modify the determination of the default TTL to use for DDNS updates.
1828 The user may still configure the ttl via ddns-ttl. The default for
1829 both v4 and v6 is now 1/2 the (preferred) lease time with a limit. The
1830 previous defaults (1/2 lease time without a limit for v4 and a default
1831 value for v6) may be used by defining USE_OLD_DDNS_TTL in site.h
1832 [ISC-Bugs #21126]

1855- 'get-host-names true;' now also works even if 'use-host-decl-names true;'
1856 was also configured. The nature of this repair also fixes another

2034- 'dhclient' no longer waits a random interval after first starting up to
2035 begin in the INIT state. This conforms to RFC 2131, but elects not to
9a111ee8 2036 implement a 'SHOULD' direction in section 4.1. The goal of this change
73c83820 2037 is to start up faster. [ISC-Bugs #19660]

2038
2039- Added 'initial-delay' parameter that specifies maximum amount of time
2040 before client goes to the INIT state. The default value is 0. In previous
2041 versions of the code client could wait up to 5 seconds. The old behavior
5d082abd 2042 may be restored by using 'initial-delay 5;' in the client config file.

2045- ICMP ping-check should now sit closer to precisely the number of seconds
2046 configured (or default 1), due to making use of the new microsecond
2047 scale timer internally to dhcpd. This corrects a bug where the server
2048 may immediately timeout an ICMP ping-check if it was made late in the
73c83820 2049 current second. [ISC-Bugs #19660]

2051- The DHCP client will schedule renewal and rebinding events in
2052 microseconds if the DHCP server provided a lease-time that would result
2053 in sub-1-second timers. This corrects a bug where a 2-second or lower
2054 lease-time would cause the DHCP client to enter an infinite loop by
73c83820 2055 scheduling renewal at zero seconds. [ISC-Bugs #19660]

2057- Client lease records are recorded at most once every 15 seconds. This

2061- To defend against RFC 2131 non-compliant DHCP servers which fail to
2062 advertise a lease-time (either mangled, or zero in value) the DHCP
2063 client now adds the server to the reject list ACL and returns to INIT

2299! Previously the server code was relaxed to allow packets with zero
2300 length client ids to be processed. Under some situations use of
2301 zero length client ids can cause the server to go into an infinite
2302 loop. As such ids are not valid according to RFC 2132 section 9.14
2303 the server no longer accepts them. Client ids with a length of 1
2304 are also invalid but the server still accepts them in order to
2305 minimize disruption. The restriction will likely be tightened in
2306 the future to disallow ids with a length of 1.

DH
2482- A new failover configuration parameter has been introduced for those
2483 environments where DHCP servers can be reasonably guaranteed to be
2484 "down" when the failover TCP socket is severed, "auto-partner-down".
2485 This parameter is not generally safe, and by default is disabled, so
2486 please carefully review the documentation of this parameter in the
2487 dhcpd.conf(5) manpage before determining to use it yourself.
2488
33ea4622
DH
2489- Added a configuration function, 'gethostname()', which calls the system
2490 function of the same name and presents the results as a data expression.
2491 This function can be used to incorporate the system level hostname of
2492 the system the DHCP software is operating on in responses or queries (such
2493 as including a failover partner's hostname in a dhcp message or binding
2494 scope, or having a DHCP client send any system hostname in the host-name or
2495 FQDN options by default).

2497- The dhcp-renewal-time and dhcp-rebinding-time options may now be configured
2498 for DHCPv4 operation and used independently of the dhcp-lease-time
2499 calculations. Invalid renew and rebinding times (e.g., greater than the
2500 determined lease time) are omitted.

2517 which is seen in some malformed DHCP client packets, was modified.
2518 It now logs the universe name, and does not log the length values
2519 (which are bogus corruption read from the packet anyway). It also
2520 carries a hopefully more useful explanation.

2548- A bug in DLPI packet transmission (Solaris, HP/UX) that caused the server
2549 to stop receiving packets is fixed. The same fix also means that the MAC
2550 address will no longer appear 'bogus' on DLPI-based systems.
2551
2552- A bug in select handling was discovered where the results of one select()
2553 call were discarded, causing the server to process the next select() call
2554 and use more system calls than required. This has been repaired - the
2555 sockets will be handled after the first return from select(), resulting in
2556 fewer system calls.
2557
a3dcc0b1
DH
2558- The update-conflict-detection feature would leave an FQDN updated without
2559 a DHCID (still currently implemented as a TXT RR). This would cause later
2560 expiration or release events to fail to remove the domain name. The feature
2561 now also inserts the client's up to date DHCID record, so records may safely
2562 be removed at expiration or release time. Thanks to a patch submitted by
2563 Christof Chen.

2565- Memory leak in the load_balance_mine() function is fixed. This would
2566 leak ~20-30 octets per DHCPDISCOVER packet while failover was in use

2591 timeouts).

DH
2615- Secondary servers in a failover pair will now perform ddns removals if
2616 they had performed ddns updates on a lease that is expiring, or was
2617 released through the primary. As part of the same fix, stale binding scopes
2618 will now be removed if a change in identity of a lease's active client is
2619 detected, rather than simply if a lease is noticed to have expired (which it
2620 may have expired without a failover server noticing in some situations).
2621
583c1c16
DH
2622- A patch supplied by David Cantrell at RedHat was applied that detects
2623 invalid calling parameters given to the ns_name_ntop() function.
2624 Specifically, it detects if the caller passed a pointer and size pair
2625 that causes the pointer to integer-wrap past zero.
2626

2632
2267da84
DH
2633- Both host and subnet6 configuration groups are now included whether a
2634 fixed-address6 (DHCPv6) is in use or not. Host scoped configuration takes
2635 precedence. This fixes two bugs, one where host scoped configuration
2636 would not be included from a non-fixed-address6 host record, and the equal
2637 and opposite bug where subnet6 scoped configuration would not be used when
571c38b0 2638 over-riding values were not present in a matching fixed-address6 host

0493fdca
SR
2644- Modified the handling of a connection to avoid releasing the omapi io
2645 object for the connection while it is still in use. One symptom from
2646 this error was a segfault when a failover secondary attempted to connect
2647 to the failover primary if their clocks were not synchronized.
2648
95bba8b6
SR
2649- Clean up to allow compilation with gcc 2.95.4 on FreeBSD. Remove an
2650 extra semi-colon from common/dns.c and moved setting a variable to NULL
2651 in server/dhcpv6.c to allow the compiler to decide that the variable
9a111ee8 2652 was always properly set.

DH
2758- A bug in subnet6 parsing where options contained in subnet6 clauses would
2759 not be applied to clients addressed within that network was repaired.
2760
2761- When configuring a "subnet {}" or "subnet6 {}" without an explicit
2762 shared-network enclosing it, the DHCP software would synthesize a
2763 shared-network to contain the subnet. However, all configuration
2764 parameters within the subnet more intuitively belong "to any client
2765 on that interface", or rather the synthesized shared-network. So,
2766 when a shared-network is synthesized, it is used to contain the
2767 configuration present inside the subnet {} clause. This means that
2768 the configuration will be valid for all clients on that network, not
2769 just those addressed out of the stated subnet. If you intended the
2770 opposite, the workaround is to explicitly configure an empty
2771 shared-network.
2772
2773- A bug was fixed where Information-Request processing was not sourcing
2774 configured option values.
2775
2776- A warning was added since the DHCPv6 processing software does not yet
2777 support class statements.
2778
adb95d23 2779- Compilation warnings on GCC 4.3 relating to bootp source address
dd484ced
DH
2780 selection were repaired.
2781
ecddae64
DH
2782- The v6 BSD socket method was updated to use a single UDP BSD socket
2783 no matter how many interfaces are involved, differentiating the
2784 interfaces the packets were received on by the interface index supplied
2785 by the OS.
2786
2787- The relay agent no longer listens to the All DHCP Servers Multicast
2788 address.
2789
2790- A bug was fixed in data_string_sprintfa() where va_start was only called
2791 once for two invocations of vsprintf() variants.
2792
d104d45b
DH
2793- ERO (RFC 4994) server support.
2794
2795- Basic and partial DHCPv6 leasequery support.
2796
2797- Reliable DHCPv6 release (previous behavior, send release and exit, is
2798 still available with dhclient -6 -1 -r).
2799
01a54c17 2800 Changes since 4.0.0 (new features)
3c12f746 2801
6d7f9584
FD
2802- Added DHCPv6 rapid commit support.
2803
4cafb815 2804- Added explicit parser support for zero-length DHCP options, such as
6d7f9584 2805 rapid-commit, via format code 'Z'.
4cafb815 2806
022fe95e
EH
2807- It's now possible to update the "ends" field of a lease with OMAPI.
2808 This is useful if you want not only to release a lease, but also make
2809 it available for reuse right away. Hat tip to Christof Chen.
2810
9a111ee8 2811- Fixed definition of the iaaddr hash functions to use the correct
1dcc3612
SK
2812 functions when referencing and dereferencing memory.
2813
aabfa4de
FD
2814- Some definitions not in phase with the IANA registry were updated.
2815
0674055a
FD
2816- Allocated interface IDs are better controlled ('u' bit set to zero,
2817 reserved IDs avoided).
2818
b51c785f
FD
2819- Unicast options are taken into account only for RENEWs.
2820
900405e9
FD
2821- NoAddrsAvail answers to SOLICITs are always ADVERTISEs even when a SOLICIT
2822 carries a rapid-commit option.
2823
96b620e5
FD
2824- Return in place of raise an impossible condition when one tries to release
2825 an empty active lease.
2826
be62cf06
FD
2827- Timer granularity is now 1/100s in the DHCPv6 client.
2828
01a54c17
EH
2829- The dhclient-script was updated to create a host route for the default
2830 gateway if the supplied subnet mask for an IPv4 address was a /32. This
2831 allows the client to work in 'captive' network environments, where the
2832 operator does not want clients to crosstalk directly.
2833
adb95d23 2834- MINUS tokens should be parsable again.
01a54c17
EH
2835
2836- Multiple (up to "delayed-ack x;" maximum) DHCPv4 packets are now queued and
2837 released in bursts after single fsync() events when the upper limit is
2838 reached or if the receiving sockets go dry. The practical upshot is
2839 that fsync-coupled server performance is now multiplicitively increased.
2840 The default delayed ack limit is 28. Thanks entirely to a patch from
2841 Christof Chen.
2842
2843 Changes since 4.0.0 (bug fixes)
2844
2845- DHCP now builds on AIX.
2846
2847- Exit with warning when DHCPv6-specific statements are used in the
2848 config file but -6 is not specified.
2849
2850- Fixed "--version" flag in dhcrelay
2851
2852- The 'min-secs' configuration parameter's log message has been updated to
2853 be more helpful.
2854
2855- The warning logged when an address range doesn't fit in the subnets
2856 they were declared has been updated to be more helpful and identify the
2857 typo in configuration that created the spanning addresses.
2858
2859- A bug in failover pool rebalancing that caused POOLREQ message ping-pongs
2860 was repaired.
2861
2862- A flaw in failover pool rebalancing that could cause POOLREQ messages to
2863 be sent outside of the min-balance/max-balance scheduled intervals has
2864 been repaired.
2865
2866- A cosmetic bug during potential-conflict recovery that caused the peer's
2867 'conflict-done' state message to be logged as 'unknown-state' has been
2868 repaired. It is now logged correctly.
2869
49f61135
DH
2870- A bug was fixed where the 'giaddr' may be used to find the client's subnet
2871 rather than its own 'ciaddr'.
2872
41d4652f
DH
2873- A log message was introduced to clarify the situation where a failover
2874 'address' parameter (the server's local address) did not resolve to an
2875 IPv4 address.
2876
2c9bf1f4
DH
2877- The minimum site code value was set to 224 in 3.1.0 to track RFC3942. This
2878 broke a lot of legacy site local configurations. The new code in place will
2879 track site local space minimum option codes and logs a warning to encourage
2880 updates and exploration of site local code migration problems. Option
2881 codes less than 128 in site local spaces remain inaccessible.
2882
2883- A possible relay agent option bug was repaired where random server
2884 initialization state may have been used to signal the relay agent
2885 information options sub-option code for the 'END' of the option space.
2886
cff9b78f
SK
2887- Fixes to allow code to compile and run on Solaris 9.
2888
c4d29896
SK
2889- Fixes to allow code to compile on Mac OS X Leopard (10.5).
2890
57fcb8d9
SK
2891- When server is configured with options that it overrides, a warning is
2892 issued when the configuration file is read, rather than at the time the
2893 option is overridden. This was important, because the warning was given
9a111ee8 2894 every time the option was overridden, which could create a lot of
57fcb8d9
SK
2895 unnecessary logging.
2896
219a65eb
DH
2897- Fixed a compilation problems on platforms that define a value for FDDI,
2898 which conflicts with a dhcp configuration syntax token by the same name.
2899
ffdf3c8c
DH
2900- When a failover server suspects it has encountered a peer running a
2901 version 3.0.x failover server, a warning that the failover wire protocol
2902 is incompatible is printed.
2903
2904- The failover server no longer issues a floating point error if it encounters
2905 a previously undefined option code.
2906
00a002fc
MA
2907- Fix startup error messages to report a missing "subnet6 declaration", rather
2908 than a missing "subnet declaration", when running as a DHCPv6 server.
2909
9a111ee8 2910- DHCPv6 client timestamp in DUID was based on the year 1970 rather
7e9f7a1b
FD
2911 than the year 2000.
2912
e2cfde76
FD
2913- Warn when attempting to use a hardware parameter in DHCPv6.
2914
cabdb9b1
FD
2915- DHCPv6 released resources are now marked as released by the client.
2916
5d89d60f
FD
2917- 'Soft' bindings have no more side-effects.
2918
61d75ea2
DH
2919 Changes since 4.0.0b3
2920
2921- The reverse dns name for PTR updates on IPv6 addresses has been fixed to
2922 use ip6.arpa. rather than default to in-addr.arpa and require user
2923 configuration.
76db44f9 2924
e32529a5
EH
2925- dhc6_lease_destroy() and dhc6_ia_destroy() now set lease and IA pointers
2926 to NULL after freeing, to prevent subsequent accesses to freed memory.
2927
9a111ee8 2928- The DHCPv6 server would not send the preference option unless the
76db44f9
SK
2929 client requested it, via the ORO. This has been fixed, so the DHCPv6
2930 server will always send the preference value if it is configured.
e4a6be15 2931
9a111ee8
TM
2932- When addresses were passed as hints to the server in an IA, they were
2933 incorrectly handled, sometimes being treated as an error. Now the
6f76de58
SK
2934 server will treat these as hints and ignore them if it cannot supply
2935 a requested address.
2936
703873ab
DH
2937- If the client had multiple addresses, and one expired (was not renewed
2938 by the server), the client would continue to attempt to renew the same
2939 old address over and over. Now, the client will omit any expired
2940 addresses from future Confirm, Renew, or Rebind messages.
2941
2942- dhclient -6 will now select renew/rebind timers based upon the longest
2943 address expiration time rather than the shortest expiration time, in
2944 order to avoid cascading renewals in the event a server elects not to
2945 extend one of multiple IAADDR leases.
2946
b024480e
DH
2947- The server now limits clients that request multiple addresses to one
2948 address per IA by default, which can be adjusted through the
2949 "limit-addrs-per-ia" configuration option.
2950
c0216cb7
DH
2951- The DHCPv6 client now issues fresh transaction IDs on Renew and Rebind
2952 message exchanges, rather than using the most recent ID.
2953
1ac57173
FD
2954- The DHCPv6 server now replies to Information-Request messages.
2955
83835822
DH
2956- A bug was fixed in the dhclient-script for BSDs to correctly carry error
2957 codes through some conditions.
2958
c54db708
FD
2959- The parsing of some options in the dhclient lease file, in particular
2960 the success DHCPv6 status-code, was fixed.
2961
e5d83524
DH
2962- A bug was fixed that caused the DHCPv6 ORO option to be corrupted with
2963 seemingly random values.
2964
821f2dda
DH
2965- A reference overleak in DHCPv6 shared network processing was repaired.
2966
f8b3c6f4
DH
2967- ./configure now autodetects local database locations rather than trying
2968 to put dhcpd.leases and dhclient.leases in /usr/local/var/db, which no
2969 one ever has.
2970
9a111ee8
TM
2971- Regression fix for bug where server advertised a IPv6 address in
2972 response to a SOLICIT but would not return the address in response
b9137d42
SK
2973 to a REQUEST.
2974
9f1d5a2f
DH
2975- A bug was fixed where the DHCPv6 server puts the NoAddrsAvail status
2976 code in the IA_NA was fixed. The status code now appears in the root
2977 level.
2978
e4a6be15
DH
2979 Changes since 4.0.0b2
2980
65cf86d7
EH
2981- Clarified error message when lease limit exceeded
2982
b1d3778c
DH
2983- Relative time may now be used as a qualifier for 'allow' and 'deny' access
2984 control lists. These directives may be used to assist in re-addressing
2985 address pools without having to constantly reconfigure the server. Please
2986 see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more information on allow/deny 'after time' syntax.
2987 Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen.
2988
bead14ea
DH
2989- The server will now include multiple IA_NA's and multiple IAADDRs within
2990 them, if advertised by the client. It still only seeks to allocate one
2991 new address.
2992
f765ec36
SK
2993 Changes since 4.0.0b1
2994
75135a3f 2995- Use different paths for PID and lease files when running in DHCPv4
adb95d23 2996 or DHCPv6 mode, so that servers for both protocols can be run
75135a3f
EH
2997 simultaneously on a single interface.
2998
5c2d55c7
EH
2999- Fixed a buffer overflow error which could have allowed a denial
3000 of service under unusual server configurations
3001
3002- Eliminated a spurious error message from the client
3003
9a111ee8 3004- A number of bugs with the internal handling of lease state on the
f765ec36 3005 server have been fixed. Some of these could cause server crashes.
fa9b593d 3006
edb1283e
DH
3007- The peer_wants_leases() changes pulled up from 3.1.0 were corrected,
3008 'never used' leases will no longer consistently shift between servers
3009 on every pool rebalance run.
3010
c71c6399
DH
3011- sendmsg()/recvmsg() control buffers are now declared in such a way to
3012 ensure they are correctly aligned on all (esp. 64-bit) architectures.
3013
5279b8f3
DH
3014- The client leasing subsystem was streamlined and corrected to account
3015 more closely for changes in client link attachment selection.
3016
ab3a540f 3017 Changes since 4.0.0a3
763cba6b 3018
9a111ee8 3019- The DHCP server no longer requires a "ddns-update-style" statement,
884a458f
SK
3020 and now defaults to "none", which means DNS updates are disabled.
3021
fa9b593d
DH
3022- Log messages when failover peer names mismatch have been improved to
3023 point out the problem.
3024
9a111ee8 3025- Bug where server advertised a IPv6 address in response to a SOLICIT
1b5053b5
SK
3026 but would not return the address in response to a REQUEST. Thanks to
3027 Dennis Kou for finding the bug.
3028
c886c298
SK
3029- Fixed an error causing the server to lock up on lease expiration,
3030 reported independently by Jothilingam Vasu and Dennis Kou.
3031
eaf7eb17
DH
3032- Fixed a ./configure bug where compile tests were failing due to
3033 "-Werror" (unused variable) rather than the actual test failure. Lead
3034 to inconsistent and unworkable auto-configurations.
3035
109e00db
DH
3036- Compilation with DLPI and -Werror has been repaired.
3037
9a111ee8 3038- Error in decoding IA_NA option if multiple interfaces are present
3ad9d48f
SK
3039 fixed by Marcus Goller.
3040
8eab95f2
DH
3041- DHCPv6 server Confirm message processing has been enhanced - it no
3042 longer replies only to clients with host {} records, it now replies
3043 as directed in RFC3315 section 18.2.2 - that is, to all clients
3044 regardless of the existence of bindings.
3045
07b9a351
DH
3046- A core dump during expired lease cleanup has been repaired.
3047
7285af30
DH
3048- DDNS updates state information are now stored in 'binding scopes' that
3049 follow the leases through their lifecycles. This enables DDNS teardowns
3050 on leases that are assigned and expired inbetween a server restart (the
3051 state is recovered from dhcpd.leases). Arbitrary user-specified binding
3052 scopes ('set var = "value";') are not yet supported.
3053
2394b26b
DH
3054- Additional compilation problems on HP/UX have been repaired.

e889ded1 3062
237f8d3a 3063- Bug in server configuration parser caused server to get stuck on
9a111ee8 3064 startup for certain bad pool declarations. Thanks to Guillaume

3069- DHCPv6 is now the default. You can disable DHCPv6 support using the
3070 "--disable-dhcpv6" flag when you run the configure script.

8dfd5744
DH
3072- An internal database inconsistency bug was repaired where the server
3073 would segfault if a client attempted to renew a lease that had been
3074 loaded from persistent storage.
3075
45d545f0 3076- 'request' and 'also request' syntaxes have been added to accommodate
0c20eab3
DH
3077 the DHCPv6 client configuration. 'send dhcp6.oro' is no longer
3078 necessary.
3079
9a111ee8
TM
3080- Bug fixed where configuration file parsing did not work with
3081 zero-length options; this made it impossible to set the
f800f4f6
SK
3082 rapid-commit option.

3137- Corrected some situations where variables might be used without being
3138 initialized.

3140- Silenced several other compiler warnings.
3141
3142- Include the more standard sys/uio.h rather than rely upon other
f66f02cc
DH
3143 header files to include it (fixes a BSD 4.2 compile failure).
3144
3145- Duplicate dhclient-script updates for DHCPv6 to all provided scripts.
a512d11b 3146
4ba58919
DH
3147- DHCPv4 I/O methods that failed to sense hardware address were corrected.
3148
3149- DHCPv4 is now the default (as documented) rather than DHCPv6. The default
3150 was set to DHCPv6 to facilitate ease early development, and forgotten.
3151
3152- Corrected a segmentation violation in DHCPv4 socket processing.
3153
8ea19a71 3154- dhclient will now fork() into the background once it binds to an
45d545f0 3155 IPv6 address, or immediately if the -n flag is supplied.
8ea19a71
DH
3156

3164- Replaced ./configure shellscripting with GNU Autoconf.
3165
98bd7ca0
DH
3166 Changes since 3.1.0 (NEW FEATURES)
3167
3168- DHCPv6 Client and Server protocol support. Use '-6' to run the daemons
3169 as v6-only. Use '-4' to run the daemons as v4-only (default. There is
3170 no support currently for both.
3171
3172- Server support for multiple IA_NA options, containing at most one
3173 IAADDR option.
3174
3175- Client support for one IA_NA option, containing any number of IAADDR
3176 options.
3177
3178- Server support for the DHCPv6 Information-request message.
3179
3180- Inappropriate unicast DHCPv6 messages sent to the server are now
3181 discarded, and this has rearchitected the IO system slightly.
3182
3183- The DHCPv6 server DUID defaults to type 1, is persistently stored in
3184 the leases database, and can be over-ridden (either completely, or by
3185 specifying type 1 or type 2).
3186
3187- The server only uses Rapid-Commit if it has been configured with the
3188 Rapid-Commit option and the client requests it.
3189
3190- DDNS support. We now update AAAA records in the same place we would
3191 update A records, if we have an IPv6 address. We also generate IP6.ARPA
3192 style names for PTR records if we're dealing with an IPv6 address. Both
3193 A and AAAA updates are done using the same 'fqdn.' virtual option space
3194 (although the DHCPv4 FQDN and DHCPv6 FQDN options are formatted
3195 differently, they both use the same code here).
3196
3197- The Linux dhclient-script attempts to set and remove assigned addresses,
3198 and to configure /etc/resolv.conf from nameserver and domain name
3199 configurations. It can be extended to configure other parameters.
3200
3201- Initial DHCPv6 lease support.
3202
3203- The IO system now tracks all local IP addresses, so that the DHCP
3204 applications (particularly the dhcrelay) can discern between what frames
3205 were transmitted to it, and what frames are being carried through it which
3206 it should not intercept.
3207
1418fd11
DH
3208 Changes since 3.1.0 (Maintenance)
3209
3210- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for virgin leases always
3211 mapped to the primary. Virgin leases now have an interleaved preference
3212 between primary and secondary.
3213
3214- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for clients with no client
3215 identifier was sometimes mishashed to the peer. Load balancing during
3216 runtime and pool rebalancing were opposing.
3217
aa3e348e
DH
3218- An assertion in lease counting relating to reserved leases was repaired.
3219
e9c59645
DH
3220- The subnet-mask option inclusion now conforms with RFC2132 section 3.3;
3221 it will only appear prior to the routers option if it is present on the
3222 Parameter-Request-List. The subnet-mask option will also only be
3223 included by default (if it is not on the PRL) in response to DISCOVER
3224 or REQUEST messages.
3225
3226- The FQDN option is only supplied if the client supplied an FQDN option or
3227 if the FQDN option was explicitly requested on the PRL.
3228
c104546d
DH
3229- Dynamic BOOTP leases are now load balanced in failover.
3230
b9d0cc05
DH
3231 Changes since 3.1.0rc1
3232
adb95d23 3233- The parse warning that 'deny dynamic bootp;' must be configured for
b9d0cc05
DH
3234 failover protected subnets was removed.
3235
a512cc3a
DH
3236 Changes since 3.1.0b2
3237
3238- Failover rebalance events no longer play ping pong with round errors
3239 (moving leases between free and back to backup where there are an
3240 odd number of leases).
3241
3242- The 'pool' log line has been split into two messages, one before the
3243 rebalance run, and one after.
3244
3245- Any queued BNDACKs are transmitted before transmitting new BNDUPDs.
3246 This enforces the correct sequence of events for the remote server
3247 processing these messages.
3248
fe5b0fdd 3249 Changes since 3.1.0b1
27837f95 3250
74dc3e0b
EH
3251- Fixed a bug that caused OMAPI clients to freeze when opening lease
3252 objects.
3253
1ba87b37
EH
3254- A new server config option "fqdn-reply" specifies whether the server
3255 should send out option 81 (FQDN). Defaults to "on". If set to "off",
3256 the FQDN option is not sent, even if the client requested it. This is
3257 needed because some clients misbehave otherwise. Thanks to Christof Chen
3258 at Allianz.
3259
a58da042
EH
3260- Allow trace output files (-tf option) to be overwritten, rather than
3261 crashing dhcpd if the file already exists
3262
61252edf
EH
3263- A bug was fixed that caused dhcpd to segfault if a pool was declared
3264 outside the scope of a subnet in dhcpd.conf.
3265
27837f95
DH
3266- Some uninitialized values were repaired in dhcpleasequery.c that
3267 caused the server to abort.
3268
4d2eaafb
DH
3269- A new server config option, 'do-reverse-updates', has been added
3270 which causes the server to abstain from performing updates on PTR
3271 records. Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen at Allianz.
3272
06211b40
DH
3273- A bug was repaired in subencapsulation support, where spaces separated
3274 by empty spaces would not get included.
3275
d6614ea2
DH
3276- A bug in dhclient was repaired which caused it to send parameter request
3277 lists of 55 bytes in length no matter how long the declared PRL was.
3278
132d38f2
DH
3279- 'dhcp.c(3953): non-null pointer' has been repaired. This fixes a flaw
3280 wherein the DHCPv4 server may ignore a configured server-identifier.
3281
fc3b9c90
DH
3282- A flaw in failover startup sequences was repaired that sometimes left
3283 the primary DHCP server's pool rebalance schedules unscheduled.
3284
c9feb859
DH
3285- Corrected a flaw that broke encapsulated spaces included due to presence
3286 on the parameter request list.
3287
c57db45c
SK
3288 Changes since 3.1.0a3
3289
3290- Some spelling fixes.
98311e4b 3291
bd2bc2fa
DH
3292 Changes since 3.1.0a2
3293
3294- A bug was fixed where attempting to permit leasequeries results in a
3295 fatal internal error, "Unable to find server option 49".
3296
85edef5c
DH
3297- A bug was fixed in dhclient rendering the textual output form of the
3298 domain-search option syntax.
3299
bdddcb7d
DH
3300 Changes since 3.1.0a1
3301
3302- A bug in the FQDN universe that added FQDN codes to the NWIP universe's
3303 hash table was repaired.
3304
616d67cb
DH
3305- The servers now try harder to transmit pending binding updates when
3306 entering normal state.
3307
3308- UPDREQ/UPDREQALL handling was optimized - it no longer dequeues and
3309 requeues all pending updates. This should reduce the number of spurious
66c8f734
DH
3310 'xid mismatch' log messages.
3311
3312- An option definition referencing leak was fixed, which resulted in early
3313 termination of dhclient upon the renewal event.
616d67cb 3314
6708d944
DH
3315- Some default hash table sizes were tweaked, some upwards, some downwards.
3316 3.1.0a1's tables resulted in a reduction in default server memory use.
3317 The new selected values provide more of a zero sum (increasing the size
3318 of tables likely to be populated, decreasing the size of tables unlikely).
3319
45d545f0 3320- Lease structures appear in three separate hashes: by IP address, by UID,
6708d944
DH
3321 and by hardware address. One type of table was used for all three, and
3322 improvements to IP address hashing were applied to all three (so UID and
3323 hardware addresses were treated like 4-byte integers). There are now two
3324 types of tables, and the uid/hw hashes use functions more appropriate
3325 to their needs.
3326
3327- The max-lease-misbalance percentage no longer causes scheduled rebalance
3328 runs to be skipped: it still governs the schedule, but every scheduled
3329 run will attempt balance.
3330
a7ee93fe
DH
3331- A segfault bug in recursive encapsulation support has been corrected.
3332
98311e4b
DH
3333 Changes since 3.0 (New Features)
3334
3335- A workaround for certain STSN servers that send a mangled domain-name
3336 option was introduced for dhclient. The client will now accept corrupted
3337 server responses, if they contain a valid DHCP_MESSAGE_TYPE (OFFER, ACK,
3338 or NAK). The server will continue to not accept corrupt client packets.
3339
98bd7ca0 3340- Support for 'reserved' (pseudo-static) and BOOTP leases via failover
a55ccdd0 3341 was introduced.
98311e4b
DH
3342
3343- Support for adding, removing, and managing class and subclass statements
3344 via OMAPI.
3345
a55ccdd0
DH
3346- The failover implementation was updated to comply with revision 12 of
3347 the protocol draft.
3348
98311e4b
DH
3349- 'make install' now creates the initial zero-length dhcpd.leases file if
3350 one does not already exist on the system.
3351
b43c87ad 3352- RFC3942 compliance, site-local option spaces start at 224 now, not 128.
b43c87ad 3353
0b17f049
DH
3354- The Load Balance Algorithm was misimplemented. The current implementation
3355 matches RFC 3074.
3356
2727c1cf
DH
3357- lcase() and ucase() configuration expressions have been added which adjust
3358 their arguments from upper to lower and lower to upper cases respectively.
2714a8ef 3359 Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
2727c1cf 3360
febbd402
DH
3361- The dhclient 'reject ...;' statement, which rejects leases given by named
3362 server-identifiers, now permits address ranges to be specified in CIDR
7d7073e7 3363 notation. Thanks to a patch from David Boyce.
febbd402 3364
ee912528
DH
3365- The subnet-mask option is now supplied by default, but at lowest
3366 priority. This helps a small minority of clients that provide parameter
3367 request lists, but do not list the subnet-mask option because they were
3368 designed to interoperate with a server that behaves in this manner.
3369
3370- The FQDN option is similarly supplied even if it does not appear on the
3371 parameter request list, but not to the exclusion of options that do
3372 appear at the parameter request list. Up until now it had ultimate
3373 priority over the client's parameter request list.
3374
f7fdb216 3375- Varying option space code and length bit widths (8/16/32) are now
51202707 3376 supported. This is a milestone in achieving RFC 3925 "VIVSO" and
f7fdb216
DH
3377 DHCPv6 support.
3378
5e864416
DH
3379- A new common (server or client) option, 'db-time-format local;', has
3380 been added which prints the local time in /var/db/dhcpd.leases rather
3381 than UTC. Thanks to a patch from Ken Lalonde.
3382
b500bd4c
DH
3383- Some patches to improve DHCP Server startup speed from Andrew Matheson
3384 have been incorporated.
3385
2426234f
DH
3386- Failover pairs now implement 'MAC Affinity' on leases moving from the
3387 active to free states. Leases that belonged to the failover secondary
3388 are moved to BACKUP state rather than FREE upon exiting EXPIRED state.
3389 If lease rebalancing must move leases, it tries first to move leases
3390 that belong to the peer in need.
3391
3392- The server no longer sends POOLREQ messages unless the pool is severely
3393 misbalanced in the peer's favor (see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more details).
3394
3395- Pool rebalance events no longer happen upon successfully allocating a
3396 lease. Instead, they happen on a schedule. See 'man dhcpd.conf' for the
3397 min-balance and max-balance statements for more information.
3398
334bf491
DH
3399- The DHCP Relay Agent Information Option / Link Selection Sub-Option
3400 is now supported. (See RFC3527 for details).
3401
3004bebf
DH
3402- A new DDNS related server option, update-conflict-detection, has been
3403 added. If this option is enabled, dhcpd will perform normal DHCID
3404 conflict resolution (the default). If this option is disabled, it will
3405 instead trust the assigned name implicitly (removing any other bindings
3406 on that name). This option has not been made available in dhclient.
3407
567e8561
DH
3408- In those cases where the DHCP software manufactures an IP header (to
3409 transmit via bpf, lpf, etc), the IP TTL the software selects has been
3410 increased from 16 to 128. This is intended to match Microsoft Windows
3411 DHCP Client behaviour, to increase compatibility.
3412
a396d25f
DH
3413- 'ignore client-updates;' now has behaviour that is different from
3414 'deny client-updates;'. The client's request is not truly ignored,
3415 rather it is encouraged. Should this value be configured, the server
3416 updates DNS as though client-updates were set to 'deny'. That is, it
3417 enters into DNS whatever it is configured to do already, provided it is
3418 configured to. Then it sends a response to the client that lets the
3419 client believe it is performing client updates (which it will), probably
3420 for a different name. In essence, this lets the client do as it will,
3421 ignoring this aspect of their request.
3422
dba5803b
DH
3423- Support for compressed 'domain name list' style DHCP option contents, and
3424 in particular the domain search option (#119) was added.
3425
41e45067 3426- The DHCP LEASEQUERY protocol as defined in RFC4388 is now implemented.
6d103865
SK
3427 LEASEQUERY lets you query the DHCP server for information about a lease,
3428 using either an IP address, MAC address, or client identifier. Thanks
3429 to a patch from Justin Haddad.
3430
41e45067
DH
3431- DHCPD is now RFC2131 section 4.1 compliant (broadcast to all-ones ip and
3432 ethernet mac address) on the SCO platform specifically without any strange
3433 ifconfig hacks. Many thanks go to the Kroger Co. for donating the
3434 hardware and funding the development.
6d103865 3435
b543fea9
DH
3436- A new common configuration executable statement, execute(), has been
3437 added. This permits dhcpd or dhclient to execute a named external
3438 program with command line arguments specified from other configuration
3439 language. Thanks to a patch written by Mattias Ronnblom, gotten to us
3440 via Robin Breathe.
3441
b22de500
DH
3442- A new dhcp server option 'adaptive-lease-time-threshold' has been added
3443 which causes the server to substantially reduce lease-times if there are
3444 few (configured percentage) remaining leases. Thanks to a patch submitted
3445 from Christof Chen.
3446
96bbe8c5
SK
3447- Encapsulated option spaces within encapsulated option spaces is now
3448 formally supported.
3449
b8221d95
DH
3450 Changes since 3.0.6rc1
3451
3452- supersede_lease() now requeues leases in their respective hardware
3453 address hash bucket. This mirrors client identifier behaviour.
3454
c1e6c832
DH
3455 Changes since 3.0.5
3456
f546c28b
DH
3457- Assorted fixes for broken network devices: Packet length is now
3458 determined from the IP header length field to finally calculate the
3459 UDP payload length, because some NIC drivers return more data than
5a22eb63 3460 they actually received.
f546c28b
DH
3461
3462- UDP packets are now stored in aligned data structures.
3463
c1e6c832
DH
3464- A logic error in omapi interface code was repaired that might result in
3465 incorrectly indicating 'up' state when any flags were set, rather than
23e10d37
DH
3466 specifically the INTERFACE_REQUESTED flag. Thanks to a patch from
3467 Jochen Voss which got to us via Andrew Pollock at Debian.
c1e6c832 3468
75ab3070
DH
3469- A reference leak on binding scopes set by ddns updates was repaired.
3470
d69fb6a8 3471- A memory leak in the minires_nsendsigned() function call was repaired.
23e10d37 3472 Effectively, this leaked ~176 bytes per DDNS update.
d69fb6a8 3473
02428754
DH
3474- In the case where an "L2" DHCP Relay Agent (one that does not set giaddr)
3475 was directly attached to the same broadcast domain as the DHCP server,
3476 the RFC3046 relay agent information option was not being returned to the
3477 relay in the server's replies. This was fixed; the dhcp server no longer
3478 requires the giaddr to reply with relay agent information. Note that
3479 this also improves compatibility with L2 devices that "intercept" DHCP
3480 packets and expect relay agent information even in unicast (renewal)
23e10d37
DH
3481 replies. Thanks to a patch from Pekka Silvonen.
3482
3483- A bug was fixed where the BOOTP header 'sname' field had a value, the
3484 copy written to persistent storage was actually the contents of the
3485 'file' field.
02428754 3486
ecde99a3
DH
3487- A bug was fixed where the nwip virtual option space was referencing
3488 the fqdn option's virtual option space's option cache.
3489
67674ffb
DH
3490- Timestamp parsing errors that indicated missing "minutes" fields rather
3491 than the actually missing "seconds" fields have been repaired thanks to
3492 a patch from Kevin Steves.
3493
830ebc4c
DH
3494- A grammar error in the dhclient.8 manpage was repaired thanks to a patch
3495 from Chris Wagner.
3496
c759db75
DH
3497- Several spelling typos were repaired, and some cross-references to other
3498 relevant documents were included in the manpages, thanks to a patch
3499 by Andrew Pollock which got to us via Tomas Pospisek.
3500
9aa3f3a5
DH
3501- Some bugs were fixed in the 'emergency relay agent options hologram'
3502 which is used to retain relay agent option contents from when the
3503 client was in INIT or REBIND states. This should solve problems where
3504 relay agent options were not echoed from the server, even when giaddr
3505 was set.
3506
3d0c598a
DH
3507- dhclient now closes its descriptor to dhclient.leases prior to executing
3508 dhclient-script. Thanks to a patch from Tomas Pospisek.
3509
d5b6835f
DH
3510- The server's "by client-id" and "by hardware address" hash table lists
3511 are now sorted according to the preference to re-allocate that lease to
3512 returning clients. This should eliminate pool starvation problems
3513 arising when "INIT" clients were given new leases rather than presently
3514 active ones.
3515
02428754 3516 Changes since 3.0.5rc1
0a73b7b6 3517
901306d5 3518- A bug was repaired in fixes to the dhclient, which sought to run the
0a73b7b6
SK
3519 dhclient-script with the 'EXPIRE' state should it receive a NAK in
3520 response to a REQUEST. The client now iterates the PREINIT state
3521 after the EXPIRE state, so that interfaces that might be configured
3522 'down' can be brought back 'up' and initialized.
3523
87a08ccc
DH
3524- DHCPINFORM handling for clients that properly set ciaddr and come to the
3525 server via a relay aget has been repaired.
3526
6da113fb
DH
3527 Changes since 3.0.4
3528
3529- A warning that host statements declared within subnet or shared-network
3530 scopes are actually global has been added.
3531
3532- The default minimum lease time (if min-lease-time was not specified)
3533 was raised from 0 to 300. 0 is not thought to be sensible, and is
3534 known to be damaging.
3535
3536- Added additional fatal error sanity checks surrounding lease binding
3537 state count calculations (free/active counts used for failover pool
3538 balancing).
3539
dcc557db
DH
3540- Some time value size fixes in 3.0.4 brought on from FreeBSD /usr/ports were
3541 misapplied to server values rather than client values. The server no longer
3542 advertises 8-byte lease-time options when on 64-bit platforms.
3543
1b2ab55f
DH
3544- A bug where leases not in ACTIVE state would get billed to billed classes
3545 (classes with lease limitations) was fixed. Non-active leases OFFERed
3546 to clients are no longer billed (but billing is checked before offering).
3547
e48891e8
DH
3548- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated in regard to the ddns-domainname
3549 configuration option - the default configuration and results should be
3550 more clear now.
3551
6cbc6629
DH
3552- If the dhclient were to receive a DHCPNAK while it was in the RENEW
3553 state (and consequently, had an active, 'bound' address and related
3554 configuration options), it would fail to 'tear down' this information
3555 before proceeding into INIT state. dhclient now iterates the dhclient-
3556 script with the 'EXPIRE' action to cause these teardowns prior to entering
1d3bfb17 3557 INIT state. Thanks to a patch from Chris Zimmerman.
6cbc6629 3558
c5fec5fa
DH
3559- The omapi.1 manpage had some formatting errors repaired thanks to a patch
3560 from Yoshihiko Sarumaru.
3561
33e1cb2b
DH
3562- A few lines of code that were failover-specific were moved within
3563 #if defined() clauses so that compilation without failover could be
3564 made possible.
3565
2bddf829
DH
3566- The log message emitted when the 'leased-address' value was not available
3567 in dhcpd.conf "executable statements" has been updated to be more helpful.
3568 Manpage information for this value has also been updated.
3569
87578987
DH
3570- Abandoned or dissociated (err condition) leases now remove any related
3571 dynamic dns bindings. Thanks to a patch from Patrick Schoo.
3572
e77c575f
DH
3573- Attempting to write a new lease file to replace a corrupt (due to
3574 encountering non-retryable errors during writing) lease file should
3575 no longer result in an infinite recursion.
3576
2178df03
DH
3577- Host declaration hardware addresses and client identifiers may only be
3578 configured once. dhcpd will now fail to load config files that specify
3579 multiple identifiers (previous versions would silently over-ride the
3580 value with the later configured value).
3581
d5341d9b
SK
3582- Several option codes that have been allocated since our last release
3583 have been named and documented.
3584
3585- Option names of the form "unknown-123" have been removed from the in-
3586 memory hash tables. In order to support options of these names that
3587 may appear in dhclient.leases or similar in previous versions, the
3588 parser will now find the new option code definition, or mock up a
3589 generic option code definition. This should result in a smooth
3590 transition from one name to the other, as the new name is used to
3591 write new output.
3592
6da113fb
DH
3593 Changes since 3.0.4rc1
3594
3595- The dhcp-options.5 manpage was updated to correct indentation errors
3596 thanks to a patch from Jean Delvare.
3597
3598 Changes since 3.0.4b3
3599
3600- Some manual pages were clarified pursuant to discussion on the dhcp-server
3601 mailing list.
3602
88cd8aca
DH
3603 Changes since 3.0.4b2
3604
45d545f0 3605- Null-termination sensing for certain clients that unfortunately require
88cd8aca
DH
3606 it in DHCPINFORM processing was repaired.
3607
3608- The host-name option and a few others were moved from "X" format to "t"
3609 format to be compatible with new NULL handling functions.
3610
3611- DHCPINFORM processing is a little more careful about return addressing
3612 its responses, or if responding via a relay. The INFORM related
3613 messages also log the 'effective client ip address' rather than the
3614 client's supplied ciaddr (since some clients produce null ciaddrs).
3615
3616- The server was inappropriately sending leases to the RESET state in the
3617 event that multiple active leases were found to match a singly-identified
3618 client. This was changed to RELEASED (by accepting a different, ACTIVE
3619 binding, the client is implicitly releasing its lease). This repairs a
3620 bug wherein secondary servers in failover pairs detecting this condition
3621 move leases to RESET, and primaries refuse to accept that state
3622 transition (properly).
3623
3624- The memset-after-dmalloc() changes made in 3.0.4b1 have been backed out.
3625
3626 Changes since 3.0.4b1
3627
3628- Command line parsing in omshell was repaired - it no longer closes
3629 STDIN after reading one line.
3630
3631- The resolver library no longer closes the /etc/resolv.conf file
3632 descriptor it opened twice.
3633
3634- Changes to trailing NULL removal in 't' option-atoms has been rethought,
3635 it now includes 'd' (domain name) types, and tries hard not to rewind an
3636 option beyond the start of the text field it is un-terminating.
3637
3638 Changes since 3.0.3
3639
3640- A DDNS update handling function was misusing the DNS error codes, rather
3641 than the internal generic result enumeration. The result is a confusing
3642 syslog line, logging the wrong condition.
3643
3644- The DHCP Server was not checking pool balance in the case where it brought
3645 a non-ACTIVE lease out of storage for a client that was returning to use
3646 a lease it once had long ago, and had since expired.
3647
3648- Failover peers no longer bother to look for free leases to allocate when
3649 they already found the client's ACTIVE lease. DISCOVERs are load balanced
98bd7ca0 3650 whether freely-allocated or not, unless the server doubts the peer has
88cd8aca
DH
3651 leases to allocate.
3652
3653- Fixed a bug in dhcrelay agent addition code that suppressed trailing
45d545f0 3654 PAD options - it was suppressing only one trailing PAD option, rather
88cd8aca
DH
3655 than the entire block of them.
3656
3a16098f
DH
3657! Fixed some unlikely overlapping-region memcpy() bugs in dhcrelay agent
3658 option addition and stripping code. Added a few sanity checks. Although
3659 highly improbable, due to requiring the reception of a DHCP datagram well
3660 in excess of all known to be used physical MTU limitations, it is possible
3661 this may have been used in a stack overflow security vulnerability. Thanks
3662 to a patch from infamous42md.
3663
3664! Added some sanity checks to OMAPI connection/authentication code.
3665 Although highly improbable, due to having to deliver in excess of 2^32
3666 bytes of data via the OMAPI channel, not to mention requiring dhcpd to
3667 be able to malloc() a memory region 2^32 bytes in size, it was possible
3668 this might have resulted in a heap overflow security vulnerability.
3669 Thanks to a patch from infamous42md.
88cd8aca
DH
3670
3671- dmalloc() memset()'s the non-debug (data) portion of the allocated
3672 memory to zero. Code that memset()'s the result returned by dmalloc() to
3673 zero is redundant. These redundancies were removed.
3674
3675- Some type declaration corrections to u_int16_t were made in common/tr.c
4b97eaff 3676 (Token Ring support) thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
88cd8aca
DH
3677
3678- A failover bug that was allowing leases that EXPIRED or were RELEASED
3679 where tsfp and tstp are identical timestamps to languish in these
3680 transitional states has been repaired. As a side effect, lease
3681 databases should be kept more consistent overall, not just for these
3682 transitional states.
3683
3684- If the lease db is deleted out from under the daemon, and it moves to rewrite
3685 the db, it will go ahead with the operation and move the new db into place
3686 once it detects the old db does not exist.
3687
3688- dhclient now ignores IRDA, SIT, and IEEE1394 network interfaces, as it
3689 is either nonsensical or (in the case of IEEE1394) is not known to support
3690 these interfaces. Thanks to Marius Gedminas and Andrew Pollock of Debian.
3691
3692- Some previously undocumented reasons for dhclient-script invoking has
45d545f0 3693 been documented in the dhclient-script.8 manpage.
88cd8aca
DH
3694
3695- Failover potential expiry calculations (TSTP) have been corrected. Results
3696 should be substantially more consistent, and proper given the constraints.
3697
3698- Adjusted lease state validation checks in potential-conflict, to
3699 account for possible clock skew similarly to normal state, and several
3700 previously illegal transitions were made legal (ex: active->released).
3701
3702- An impossible sanity check was removed from omapi/buffer.c, thanks to a
3703 patch from 'infamous42md'.
3704
3705- An OMAPI host/network byte order problem in lease time values has been
3706 repaired.
3707
3708- Several minor bugs, largely relating to treating 8-byte time values as
3709 4-byte entities, have been repaired after careful review of the FreeBSD
3710 ports collection's patch set. Thanks to the nameless entities who have
3711 contributed to the FreeBSD ports.
3712
3713- When writing a trace file, the file is now created with permissions 0600,
3714 to help administrators avoid accidentally publicising sensitive config
3715 data.
3716
3717- The calculation of the maximum size of DHCP packets no longer includes
3718 Ethernet framing overhead. The result is that the 'Maximum Message
3719 Size' option advertised by clients, or the default value 576, is no
3720 longer reduced by 14 bytes, and instead directly reflects the IP level
3721 MTU (and the default, minimum allowed IP MTU of 576).
3722
3723- The special status of RELEASED/EXPIRED/RESET leases when a server
3724 is operating in partner-down was fixed. It no longer requires a
3725 lease be twice the MCLT beyond STOS to 'reallocate', and the expiry
3726 event to turn these into FREE leases without peer acknowledgement
3727 (after STOS+MCLT) has been repaired.
3728
3729- Compilation on older Solaris systems (lacking /usr/include/sys/int_types.h)
3730 has been repaired.
3731
3732- "append"ing a string onto the end of a "t" type option (such as the
3733 domain-name field) that had been improperly NULL-terminated by the
3734 DHCP server will no longer result in a truncated string containing
3735 only the option from the server, and not the expected appended value.
4b97eaff 3736 Thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
88cd8aca
DH
3737
3738- File handlers on configuration state (config files and lease dbs) should
98bd7ca0 3739 be treated consistently, regardless of whether TRACING is defined or not.
88cd8aca 3740
45d545f0 3741- The Linux build environment has had some minor improvements - better
88cd8aca
DH
3742 sensing of 64-bit pointer sizes (only used for establishing an icmp_id),
3743 and corrections to #if operators regarding LINUX_MAJOR should it ever
3744 move to 3.[01].x.
3745
3746- The server now tries harder to survive the condition where it is unable
3747 to open a new lease file to rewrite the lease state database.
3748

DH
3749 Changes since 3.0.3b3
3750
3751- dhclient.conf documentation for interface {} was updated to reflect recent
3752 discussion on the dhcp-hackers mailing list.
3753
3754- In response to reports that the software does not compile on GCC 4.0.0,
3755 -Werror was removed from Makefile.conf for all platforms that used it.
3756 We will address the true problem in a future release; this is a temporary
3757 workaround.
3758
3759 Changes since 3.0.3b2
3760
3761- An error in code changes introduced in 3.0.3b2 was corrected, which caused
3762 static BOOTP clients to receive random addresses.
3763
3764 Changes since 3.0.3b1
3765
3766- A bug was fixed in BOOTPREQUEST handling code wherein stale references to
3767 host records would be left behind on leases that were not allocated to the
3768 client currently booting (eg in the case where the host was denied booting).
3769
3770- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated to be more clear in regards to
3771 multiple host declarations (thanks to Vincent McIntyre). 'Interim' style
3772 dynamic updates were also retouched.
3773
98311e4b
DH
3774 Changes since 3.0.2
3775
3776- A bug was fixed where a server might load balance a DHCP REQUEST to its
45d545f0 3777 peer after already choosing not to load balance the preceding DISCOVER.
98311e4b
DH
3778 The peer cannot allocate the originating server's lease.
3779
3780- In the case where a secondary server lost its stable storage while the
3781 primary was still in communications-interrupted, and came back online,
3782 the lease databases would not be fully transferred to the secondary.
3783 This was due to the secondary errantly sending an extra UPDREQ message
3784 when the primary made its state transition to PARTNER-DOWN known.
3785
3786- The package will now compile cleanly in gcc 3.3 and 3.4. As a side effect,
3787 lease structures will be 9 bytes smaller on all platforms. Thanks to
4b97eaff 3788 Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3789
3790- Interface discovery code in DISCOVER_UNCONFIGURED mode is now
3791 properly restricted to only detecting broadcast interfaces. Thanks
4b97eaff 3792 to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3793
3794- decode_udp_ip_header was changed so that the IP address was copied out
3795 to a variable, rather than referenced by a pointer. This enforces 4-byte
3796 alignment of the 32-bit IP address value. Thanks to a patch from Dr.
3797 Peter Poeml.
3798
3799- An incorrect log message was corrected thanks to a patch from
3800 Dr. Peter Poeml.
3801
3802- A bug in DDNS was repaired, where if the server's first DDNS action was
3803 a DDNS removal rather than a DDNS update, the resolver library's
3804 retransmit timer and retry timer was set to the default, implying a
3805 15 second timeout interval. Which is a little excessive in a synchronous,
3806 single-threaded system. In all cases, ISC DHCP should now hold fast to
3807 a 1-second timeout, trying only once.
3808
3809- The siaddr field was being improperly set to the server-identifier when
3810 responding to DHCP messages. RFC2131 clarified the siaddr field as
3811 meaning the 'next server in the bootstrap process', eg a tftp server.
3812 The siaddr field is now left zeroed unless next-server is configured.
3813
3814- mockup_lease() could have returned in an error condition (or in the
3815 condition where no fixed-address was found matching the shared
3816 network) with stale references to a host record. This is probably not
3817 a memory leak since host records generally never die anyway.
3818
3819- A bug was repaired where failover servers would let stale client identifiers
3820 persist on leases that were reallocated to new clients not sending an id.
3821
3822- Binding scopes ("set var = value;") are now removed from leases allocated
3823 by failover peers if the lease had expired. This should help reduce the
3824 number of stale binding scopes on leases.
3825
3826- A small memory leak was closed involving client identifiers larger than
3827 7 bytes, and failover.
3828
3829- Configuring a subnet in dhcpd.conf with a subnet mask of 32 bits might
3830 cause an internal function to overflow heap. Thanks to Jason Vas Dias
4b97eaff 3831 at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3832
3833- Some inconsistencies in treating numbers that the lexer parsed as 'NUMBER'
3834 or 'NUMBER_OR_NAME' was repaired. Hexadecimal parsing is affected, and
3835 should work better.
3836
3837- In several cases, parse warnings were being issued before the lexical
3838 token had been advanced to the token whose value was causing an error...
3839 causing parse warnings to claim the problem is on the wrong token.
3840
3841- Host declarations matching on client identifier for dynamic leases will
3842 no longer match fixed-address host declarations (this is now identical
3843 to behaviour for host records matching on hardware address).
3844
3845 Changes since 3.0.2rc3
3846
3847- A previously undocumented configuration directive, 'local-address',
3848 was documented in the dhcpd.conf manpage.
3849
3850 Changes since 3.0.2rc2
3851
45d545f0 3852- Two variables introduced in 3.0.2b1 were used without being initialized
98311e4b
DH
3853 in the case where neither the FILE nor SNAME fields were available for
3854 overloading. This was repaired.
3855
3856- A heretofore believed to be impossible corner case of the option
3857 overloading implementation turned out to be possible ("Unable to sort
3858 overloaded options after 10 tries."). The implementation was reworked
3859 to consider the case of an option so large it would require more than
3860 three chunks to fit.
3861
3862- Many other instances of variables being used without being initialized
3863 were repaired.
3864
3865- An uninitialized variable in omapi_io_destroy() led to the discovery
3866 that this function may result in orphaned pointers (and hence, a memory
3867 leak).
3868
3869 Changes since 3.0.2rc1
3870
3871- allocate_lease() was rewritten to repair a bug in which the server would
3872 try to allocate an ABANDONED lease when FREE leases were available.
3873
3874 Changes since 3.0.2b1
3875
3876- Some dhcp-eval.5 manpage formatting was repaired.
3877
3878 Changes since 3.0.1
3879
3880- A bug was fixed in the server's 'option overloading' implementation,
3881 where options loaded into the 'file' and 'sname' packet fields were
3882 not aligned precisely as rfc2131 dictates.
3883
3884- The FreeBSD client script was changed to support the case where a domain
3885 name was not provided by the server.
3886
3887- A memory leak in 'omshell' per each command line parsed was
3888 repaired, thanks to a patch from Jarkko Torppa.
3889
3890- Log functions writing to stderr were adjusted to use the STDERR_FILENO
3891 system definition rather than '2'. This is a no-op for 90% of platforms.
3892
3893- One call to trace_write_packet_iov() counted the number of io vectors
3894 incorrectly, causing inconsistent tracefiles. This was fixed.
3895
3896- Some expression parse failure memory leaks were closed.
3897
3898- A host byte order problem in tracefiles was repaired.
3899
3900- Pools configured in DHCPD for failover possessing permission lists that
adb95d23 3901 previously were assumed to not include dynamic bootp clients are now
98311e4b
DH
3902 a little more pessimistic. The result is, dhcpd will nag you about just
3903 about most pools that possess a 'allow' statement with no 'deny' that
3904 would definitely match a dynamic bootp client.
3905
3906- The 'ddns-update-style' configuration warning bit now insists that
3907 the configuration be globally scoped.
3908
3909- Two memory leaks in dhclient were closed thanks to a patch from Felix
3910 Farkas.
3911
3912- Some minor but excellently pedantic documentation errors were fixed
3913 thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
3914
3915- Bugs in operator precedence in executable statements have been repaired
3916 once again. More legal syntaxes should be parsed legally.
3917
3918- Failing to initialize a tracefile for any reason if a tracefile was
3919 specified is now a fatal error. Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
3920
3921- Corrected a bug in which the number of leases transferred as calculated
3922 by the failover primary and sent to peers in POOLRESP responses may be
3923 incorrect. This value is not believed to be used by other failover
3924 implementations, excepting perhaps as logged information.
3925
3926- Corrected a bug in which 'dhcp_failover_send_poolresp()' was in fact
3927 sending POOLREQ messages instead of POOLRESP mesasges. This message
3928 was essentially ignored since failover secondaries effectively do not
3929 respond to POOLREQ messages.
3930
3931- Type definitions for various bitwidths of integers in the sunos5-5
3932 build of ISC DHCP have been fixed. It should compile and run more
3933 easily when built in 64-bit for this platform.
3934
3935- "allow known-clients;" is now a legal syntax, to avoid confusion.
3936
3937- If one dhcp server chooses to 'load balance' a request to its failover
3938 peer, it first checks to see if it believes said peer has a free
3939 lease to allocate before ignoring the DISCOVER.
3940
3941- log() was logging a work buffer, rather than the value returned by
3942 executing the statements configured by the user. In some cases,
3943 the work buffer and the intended results were the same. In some other
3944 cases, they were not. This was fixed thanks to a patch from Gunnar
3945 Fjone and directconnect.no.
3946
3947- Compiler warnings for some string type conversions was fixed, thanks
3948 to Andreas Gustafsson.
3949
3950- The netbsd build environments were simplified to one, in which
3951 -Wconversion is not used, thanks to Andreas Gustafsson.
3952
3953- How randomness in the backoff-cutoff dhclient configuration variable
3954 is implemented was better documented in the manpage, and the behaviour
3955 of dhclient in REQUEST timeout handling was changed to match that of
3956 DISCOVER timeout handling.
3957
3958- Omapi was hardened against clients that pass in null values, thanks
3959 to a patch from Mark Jason Dominus.
3960
3961- A bug was fixed in dhclient that kept it from doing client-side
3962 ddns updates. Thanks to a patch from Andreas Gustafsson, which
3963 underwent some modification after review by Jason Vas Dias.
3964
3965- Failover implementations disconnected due to the network between
3966 them (rather than one of the two shutting down) will now try to
3967 re-establish the failover connection every 5 seconds, rather than
3968 to simply try once and give up until one of them is restarted.
3969 Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from Infoblox, and field testing
3970 by Greger V. Teigre which led to an enhancement to it.
3971
3972- A problem that kept DHCP Failover secondaries from tearing down
3973 ddns records was repaired. Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from
3974 Infoblox.
3975
3976- 64bit pointer sizes are detected properly on FreeBSD now.
3977
3978- A bug was repaired where the DHCP server would leave stale references
3979 to host records on leases it once thought about offering to certain
3980 clients. The result would be to apply host and 'known' scopes to the
3981 wrong clients (possibly denying booting). NOTE: The 'mis-host' patch
3982 that was being circulated as a workaround is not the way this bug was
3983 fixed. If you were a victim of this bug in 3.0.1, you are cautioned
3984 to proceed carefully and see if it fixes your problem.
3985
3986- A bug was repaired in the server's DHCPINFORM handling, where it
3987 tried to divine the client's address from the source packet and
3988 would get it wrong. Thanks to Anshuman Singh Rawat.
3989
3990- A log message was introduced to help illuminate the case where the
3991 server was unable to find a lease to assign to any BOOTP client.
3992 Thanks to Daniel Baker.
3993
3994- A minor dhcpd.conf.5 manpage error was fixed.
3995
3996 Changes since 3.0.1rc14
3997
3998- The global variable 'cur_time' was centralized and is now uniformly of a
3999 type #defined in system-dependent headers. It had previously been defined
4000 in one of many places as a 32-bit value, and this causes mayhem on 64-bit
4001 big endian systems. It probably wasn't too healthy on little endian
4002 systems either.
4003
4004- A printf format string error introduced in rc14 was repaired.
4005
4006- AIX system-dependent header file was altered to only define NO_SNPRINTF
4007 if the condition used to #ifdef in vsnprintf in AIX' header files
4008 is false.
4009
4010- The Alpha/OSF system-dependent header file was altered to define
4011 NO_SNPRINTF on OS revisions older than 4.0G.
4012
4013- omapip/test.c had string.h added to its includes.
4014
4015 Changes since 3.0.1rc13
4016
4017! CAN-2004-0460 - CERT VU#317350: Five stack overflow exploits were closed
4018 in logging messages with excessively long hostnames provided by the
4019 clients. It is highly probable that these could have been used by
4020 attackers to gain arbitrary root access on systems using ISC DHCP 3.0.1
4021 release candidates 12 or 13. Special thanks to Gregory Duchemin for
4022 both finding and solving the problem.
4023
4024! CAN-2004-0461 - CERT VU#654390: Once the above was closed, an opening
45d545f0 4025 in log_*() functions was evidenced, on some specific platforms where
98311e4b
DH
4026 vsnprintf() was not believed to be available and calls were wrapped to
4027 sprintf() instead. Again, credit goes to Gregory Duchemin for finding
4028 the problem. Calls to snprintf() are now linked to a distribution-local
4029 snprintf implementation, only in those cases where the architecture is
4030 not known to provide one (see includes/cf/[arch].h). If you experience
4031 linking problems with snprintf/vsnprintf or 'isc_print_' functions, this
4032 is where to look. This vulnerability did not exist in any previously
4033 published version of ISC DHCP.
4034
4035- Compilation on hpux 11.11 was repaired.
4036
4037- 'The cross-compile bug fix' was backed out.
4038
4039 Changes since 3.0.1rc12
4040
4041- Fixed a bug in omapi lease lookup function, to form the hardware
4042 address for the hash lookup correctly, thanks to a patch from
4043 Richard Hirst.
4044
4045- Fixed a bug where dhcrelay was sending relayed responses back to the
4046 broadcast address, but with the source's unicast mac address. Should
4047 now conform to rfc2131 section 4.1.
4048
4049- Cross-compile bug fix; use $(AR) instead of ar. Thanks to Morten Brorup.
4050
4051- Fixed a crash bug in dhclient where dhcpd servers that do not provide
4052 renewal times results in an FPE. As a side effect, dhclient can now
4053 properly handle 0xFFFFFFFF (-1) expiry times supplied by servers. Thanks
4054 to a patch from Burt Silverman.
4055
4056- The 'ping timeout' debugs from rc12 were removed to -DDEBUG only,
45d545f0 4057 and reformatted to correct a compilation error on Solaris platforms.
98311e4b
DH
4058
4059- A patch was applied which fixes a case where leases read from the
4060 leases database do not properly over-ride previously read leases.
4061
4062- dhcpctl.3 manpage was tweaked.
4063
4064 Changes since 3.0.1rc11
4065
4066- A patch from Steve Campbell was applied with minor modifications to
4067 permit reverse dns PTR record updates with values containing spaces.
4068
4069- A patch from Florian Lohoff was applied with some modifications to
4070 dhcrelay. It now discards packets whose hop count exceeds 10 by default,
4071 and a command-line option (-c) can be used to set this threshold.
4072
4073- A failover bug relating to identifying peers by name length instead of
4074 by name was fixed.
4075
45d545f0 4076- Declaring failover configs within shared-network statements should no
98311e4b
DH
4077 longer result in error.
4078
4079- The -nw command line option to dhclient now works.
4080
4081- Thanks to a patch from Michael Richardson:
4082 - Some problems with long option processing have been fixed.
4083 - Some fixes to minires so that updates of KEY records will work.
4084
4085- contrib/ms2isc was updated by Shu-Min Chang of the Intel Corporation.
4086 see contrib/ms2isc/readme.txt for revision notes.
4087
4088- Dhclient no longer uses shell commands to kill another instance of
4089 itself, it sends the signal directly. Thanks to a patch from Martin
4090 Blapp.
4091
4092- The FreeBSD dhclient-script was changed so that a failure to write to
4093 /etc/resolv.conf does not prematurely end the script. This keeps dhclient
4094 from looping infinitely when this is the case. Thanks to a patch from
4095 Martin Blapp.
4096
4097- A patch from Bill Stephens was applied which resolves a problem with lease
4098 expiry times in failover configurations.
4099
4100- A memory leak in configuration parsing was closed thanks to a patch from
4101 Steve G.
4102
4103- The function which discovers interfaces will now skip non-broadcast or
4104 point-to-point interfaces, thanks to a patch from David Brownlee.
4105
4106- Options not yet known by the dhcpd or dhclient have had their names
4107 changed such that they do not contain # symbols, in case they should ever
4108 appear in a lease file. An option that might have been named "#144" is
4109 now "unknown-144".
4110
4111- Another patch from Bill Stephens which allows the ping-check timeout to
4112 be configured as 'ping-timeout'. Defaults to 1.
4113
4114 Changes since 3.0.1rc10
4115
4116- Potential buffer overflows in minires repaired.
4117
4118- A change to the linux client script to use /bin/bash, since /bin/sh may
4119 not be bash.
4120
4121- Some missing va_end cleanups thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
4122
4123- A correction of boolean parsing syntax validation - some illegal syntaxes
4124 that worked before are now detected and produce errs, some legal syntaxes
4125 that errored before will now work properly.
4126
4127- Some search-and-replace errors that caused some options to change their
4128 names was repaired.
4129
4130- Shu-min Chang of the Intel corporation has contributed a perl script and
4131 module that converts the MS NT4 DHCP configuration to a ISC DHCP3
4132 configuration file.
4133
4134- Applied the remainder of the dhcpctl memory leak patch provided by Bill
4135 Squier at ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
4136
4137- Missing non-optional failover peer configurations will now result in a soft
4138 error rather than a null dereference.
4139
4140 Changes since 3.0.1rc9
4141
4142- A format string was corrected to fix compiler warnings.
4143
4144- A number of spelling corrections were made in the man pages.
4145
4146- The dhclient.conf.5 man page was changed to refer to do-forward-updates
4147 rather than a configuration option that doesn't exist.
4148
4149- A FreeBSD-specific bug in the interface removal handling was fixed.
4150
4151- A Linux-specific Token Ring detection problem was fixed.
4152
4153- Hashes removed from as-yet-unknown agent options, having those options
4154 appear in reality before we know about them will no longer produce
4155 self-corrupting lease databases.
4156
4157- dhclient will use the proper port numbers now when using the -g option.
4158
4159- A order-of-operations bug with 2 match clauses in 1 class statement is
4160 fixed thanks to a patch from Andrew Matheson.
4161
4162- Compilation problems on Solaris were fixed.
4163
4164- Compilation problems when built with DEBUG or DEBUG_PACKET were repaired.
4165
4166- A fix to the dhcp ack process which makes certain group options will be
4167 included in the first DHCPOFFER message was made thanks to a patch from
4168 Ling Gou.
4169
4170- A few memory leaks were repaired thanks to patches from Bill Squier at
4171 ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
4172
4173- A fix for shared-networks that sometimes give clients options for the
4174 wrong subnets (in particular, 'option routers') was applied, thanks to
4175 Ted Lemon for the patch.
4176
4177- Omshell's handling of dotted octets as values was changed such that dots
4178 one after the other produce zero values in the integer string.
4179
4180 Changes since 3.0.1rc8
4181
4182- Fix a format string vulnerability in the server that could lead to a
4183 remote root compromise (discovered by NGSEC Research Team, www.ngsec.com).
4184
4185- Add additional support for NetBSD/sparc64.
4186
4187- Fix a bug in the command-line parsing of the client. Also, resolve
4188 a memory leak.
4189
4190- Add better support for shells other than bash in the Linux client
4191 script.
4192
4193- Various build fixes for modern versions of FreeBSD and Linux.
4194
4195- Fix a bad bounds check when printing binding state names.
4196
4197- Clarify documentation about fixed-address and multiple addresses.
4198
4199- Fix a typo in the authoritative error message.
4200
4201- Make a log entry when we can't write a billing class.
4202
4203- Use conversion targets that are the right size on all architectures.
4204
4205- Increment the hop count when relaying.
4206
4207- Log a message when lease state is changed through OMAPI.
4208
4209- Don't rerun the shared_network when evaluating the pool.
4210
4211- Fix a reversed test in the parser.
4212
4213- Change the type of rbuf_max.
4214
4215- Make FTS_LAST a manifest constant to quiet warnings.
4216
4217 Changes since 3.0.1rc7
4218
4219- Fix two compiler warnings that are generated when compiling on Solaris
4220 with gcc. These stop the build, even though they weren't actually
4221 errors, because we prefer that our builds generate no warnings.
4222
4223 Changes since 3.0.1rc6
4224
4225- Don't allow a lease that's in the EXPIRED, RELEASED or RESET state
4226 to be renewed.
4227
4228- Implement lease stealing for cases where the primary has fewer leases
4229 than the secondary, as called for by the standard.
4230
4231- Add a fudge factor to the lease expiry acceptance code, (suggested
4232 by Kevin Miller of CMU).
4233
4234- Fix a bug in permit_list_match that made it much too willing to say
4235 that two permit lists matched.
4236
4237- Unless DEBUG_DNS_UPDATES is defined, print more user-friendly (and
4238 also more compact) messages about DNS updates.
4239
4240- Fix a bug in generating wire-format domain names for the FQDN option.
4241
4242- Fix a bug where the FQDN option would not be returned if the client
4243 requested it, contrary to the standard.
4244
4245- On Darwin, use the FreeBSD DHCP client script.
4246
4247- On NetBSD/sparc, don't check for casting warnings.
4248
4249- Add a flag in the DHCP client to disable updating the client's A
4250 record when sending an FQDN option indicating that the client is
4251 going to update its A record.
4252
4253- In the client, don't attempt a DNS update until one second after
4254 configuring the new IP address, and if the update times out, keep
4255 trying until a response, positive or negative, is received from the
4256 DNS server.
4257
4258- Fix an uninitialized memory bug in the DHCP client.
4259
4260- Apply some FreeBSD-specific bug fixes suggested by Murray Stokely.
4261
4262- Fix a bug in ns_parserr(), where it was returning the wrong sort
4263 of result code in some cases (suggested by Ben Harris of the
4264 NetBSD project).
4265
4266- Fix a bug in is_identifier(), where it was checking against EOF
4267 instead of the END_OF_FILE token (also suggested by Ben Harris).
4268
4269- Fix a bug where if an option universe contained no options, the
4270 DHCP server could dump core (Walter Steiner).
4271
4272- Fix a bug in the handling of encapsulated options.
4273
4274- Fix a bug that prevented NWIP suboptions from being processed.
4275
4276- Delete the FTS_BOOTP and FTS_RESERVED states and implement them
4277 as modifier flags to the FTS_ACTIVE state, as called for in the
4278 failover protocol standard.
4279
4280- Fix bugs in the pool merging code that resulted in references and
4281 dereferences of null pointers. This bug had no impact unless the
4282 POINTER_DEBUG flag was defined.
4283
4284- In the server, added a do-forward-updates flag that can be used to
4285 disable forward updates in all cases, so that sites that want the
4286 clients to take sole responsibility for updating their A record can
4287 do so.
4288
4289- Make it possible to disable optimization of PTR record updates.
4290
4291 Changes since 3.0.1rc5
4292
4293- Include some new documentation and changes provided by Karl Auer.
4294
4295- Add a workaround for some Lexmark printers that send a double-NUL-
4296 terminated host-name option, which would break DNS updates.
4297
4298- Fix an off-by-one error in the MAC-address checking code for
4299 DHCPRELEASE that was added in 3.0.1rc5.
4300
4301- Fix a bug where client-specific information was not being discarded
4302 from the lease when it expired or was released, resulting in
4303 problems if the lease was reallocated to a different client.
4304
4305- If more than one allocation pool is specified that has the same set
4306 of constraints as another allocation pool on the same shared
4307 network, merge the two pools.
4308
4309- Don't print an error in fallback_discard, since this just causes
4310 confusion and does not appear to be helping to encourage anyone to
4311 fix this bug.
4312
4313 Changes since 3.0.1rc4
4314
4315- Fix a bug that would cause the DHCP server to spin if asked to parse
4316 a certain kind of incorrect statement.
4317
4318- Fix a related bug that would prevent an error from being reported in
4319 the same case.
4320
4321- Additional documentation.
4322
4323- Make sure that the hardware address matches the lease when
4324 processing a DHCPRELEASE message.
4325
4326 Changes since 3.0.1rc3
4327
4328- A minor bug fix in the arguments to a logging function call.
4329- Documentation update for dhcpd.conf.
4330
adbef119 4331 Changes since 3.0.1rc2
98311e4b
DH
4332
4333- Allow the primary to send a POOLREQ message. This isn't what the current
4334 failover draft says to do, so we may have to back it out if I can't get the
4335 authors to relent, but the scheme for balancing that's specified in the
4336 current draft seems needlessly hairy, so I'm floating a trial balloon.
4337 The rc1 code did not implement the method described in the draft either.
4338
adbef119 4339 Changes since 3.0.1rc1
98311e4b
DH
4340
4341- Treat NXDOMAIN and NXRRSET as success when we are trying to delete a
4342 domain or RRSET. This allows the DHCP server to forget about a name
4343 it added to the DNS once it's been removed, even if the DHCP server
4344 wasn't the one that removed it.
4345
4346- Install defaults for failover maximum outstanding updates and maximum
4347 silent time. This prevents problems that might occur if these values
4348 were not configured.
4349
4350- Don't do DDNS deletes if ddns-update-style is none.
4351
4352- Return relay agent information options in DHCPNAK. This prevents DHCPNAK
4353 messages from being dropped when the relay agent information option contains
4354 routing information.
4355
4356- Fix a problem where coming up in recover wouldn't result in an update
4357 request being sent.
4358
4359- Add some more chatty messages when we start a recovery update and when it's
4360 done.
4361
4362- Fix a possible problem where some state might have been left around
4363 after the peer lost contact and regained contact about how many updates
4364 were pending.
4365
4366- Don't nix a lease update because of a lease conflict. This test has
4367 never (as far as I know) prevented a mistake, and it appears to cause
4368 problems with failover.
4369
4370- Add support in rc history code for keeping a selective history, rather
4371 than a history of all references and dereferences. This code is only used
4372 when extensive additional debugging is enabled.
4373
adbef119 4374 Changes since 3.0
98311e4b
DH
4375
4376- Make allocators for hash tables. As a side effect, this fixes a memory
4377 smash in the subclass allocation code.
4378
4379- Fix a small bug in omshell where if you try to close an object when
4380 no object is open, it dumps core.
4381
4382- Fix an obscure coredump that could occur on shutdown.
4383
4384- Fix a bug in the recording of host declaration rubouts in the lease file.
4385
4386- Fix two potential spins in the host deletion code.
4387
4388- Fix a core dump that would happen if an application tried to update
4389 a host object attribute with a null value.
4390
4391 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 12
4392
4393- Fix a memory leak in the evaluation code.
4394
4395- Fix an obscure core dump.
4396
4397- Print a couple of new warnings when parsing the configuration file
4398 when crucial information is left out.
4399
4400- Log "no free leases" as an error.
4401
4402- Documentation updates.
4403
4404 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 11
4405
4406- Always return a subnet selection option if one is sent.
4407
4408- Fix a warning that was being printed because an automatic data
4409 structure wasn't zeroed.
4410
4411- Fix some failover state transitions that were being handled
4412 incorrectly.
4413
4414- When supersede_lease is called on a lease whose end time has already
4415 expired, but for which a state transition has not yet been done, do
4416 a state transition. This fixes the case where if the secondary
4417 allocated a lease to a client and the lease "expired" while the
4418 secondary was in partner-down, no expiry event would actually
4419 happen, so the lease would remain active until the primary was
4420 restarted.
4421
4422 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 10
4423
4424- Fix a bug that was preventing released leases from changing state
4425 in failover-enabled pools.
4426
4427- Fix a core dump in the client identifier finder code (for host
4428 declarations).
4429
4430- Finish fixing a bug where bogus data would sometimes get logged to
4431 the dhclient.leases file because it was opened as descriptor 2.
4432
4433- Fix the Linux dhclient-script according to suggestions made by
4434 several people on the dhcp-client mailing list.
4435
4436- Log successful DNS updates at LOG_INFO, not LOG_ERROR.
4437
4438- Print an error message and refuse to run if a failover peer is
4439 defined but not referenced by any pools.
4440
4441- Correct a confusing error message in failover.
4442

4447 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8 Patchlevel 2
4448
4449- Fix a bug that prevented update-static-leases from working.
4450
4451- Document failover-state OMAPI object.
4452
4453- Fix a compilation error on SunOS 4.
4454
d758ad8c
TL
4455 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8 Patchlevel 1
4456
4457- Fix a parsing bug that broke dns updates (both interim and ad-hoc).
4458 This was introduced in rc8pl1 as an unintended result of the memory
4459 leakage fixes that were in pl1.
4460
4461- Fix a long-standing bug where the server would record that an update
4462 had been done for a client with no name, even though no update had
4463 been done, and then when the client's lease expired the deletion of
4464 that nonexistant record would time out because the name was the null
9a111ee8 4465 string.
d758ad8c
TL
4466
4467- Clean up the omshell, dhcpctl and omapi man pages a bit.
4468
d758ad8c
TL
4469 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8
4470
4471- Fix a bug that could cause the DHCP server to spin if
4472 one-lease-per-client was enabled.
4473
4474- Fix a bug that was causing core dumps on BSD/os in the presence of
4475 malformed packets.
4476
4477- In partner-down state, don't restrict lease lengths to MCLT.
4478
4479- On the failover secondary, record the MCLT received from the primary
4480 so that if we come up without a connection to the primary we don't
4481 wind up giving out zero-length leases.
4482
4483- Fix some compilation problems on BSD/os.
4484
4485- Fix a bunch of memory leaks.
4486
4487- Fix a couple of bugs in the option printer.
4488
4489- Fix an obscure error reporting bug in the dns update code, and also
4490 make the message clearer when a key algorithm isn't supported.
4491
4492- Fix a bug in the tracing code that prevented trace runs that used
4493 tcp connections from being played back.
4494
4495- Add some additional debugging capability for catching memory leaks
4496 on exit.
4497
4498- Make the client release the lease correctly on shutdown.
4499
4500- Add some configurability to the build system.
4501
4502- Install omshell manual page in man1, not man8.
4503
4504- Craig Gwydir sent in a patch that fixes a long-standing bug in the
4505 DHCP client that could cause core dumps, but that for some reason
4506 hadn't been noticed until now.
4507
4508 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 7
4509
4510- Fix a bug in failover where we weren't sending updates after a
4511 transition from communications-interrupted to normal.
4512
4513- Handle expired/released/reset -> free transition according to the
4514 protocol specification (this works - the other way not only wasn't
4515 conformant, but also didn't work).
4516
4517- Add a control object in both client and server that allows either
4518 daemon to be shut down cleanly.
4519
4520- When writing a lease, if we run out of disk space, shut down the
4521 output file and insist on writing a new one before proceeding.
4522
4523- In the server, if the OMAPI listener port is occupied, keep trying
4524 to get it, rather than simply giving up and exiting.
4525
4526- Support fetching variables from leases and also updating and adding
4527 variables to leases via OMAPI.
4528
4529- If two failover peers have wildly different clocks, refuse to start
4530 doing failover.
4531
4532- Fix a bug in the DNS update code that could cause core dumps when
4533 running on alpha processors.
4534
4535- Fixed a bug in ddns updates for static lease entries, thanks to a
4536 patch from Andrey M Linkevitch.
4537
4538- Add support for Darwin/MacOS X
4539
4540- Install omshell (including new documentation).
4541
4542- Support DNS updates in the client (this is a very obscure feature
4543 that most DHCP client users probably will not be able to use).
4544
4545- Somewhat cleaner status logging in the client.
4546
4547- Make OMAPI key naming syntax compatible with the way keys are
4548 actually named (key names are domain names).
4549
4550- Fix a bug in the lease file writer.
4551
4552- Install DHCP ISC headers in a different place than BIND 9 ISC
4553 headers, to avoid causing trouble in BIND 9 builds.
4554
4555- Don't send updates for attributes on an object when the attributes
4556 haven't changed. Support deleting attributes on remote objects.
4557
4558- Fix a number of bugs in omshell, and add the unset and refresh
4559 statements.
4560
4561- Handle disconnects in OMAPI a little bit more intelligently (so that
4562 the caller gets ECONNRESET instead of EINVAL).
4563
4564- Fix a bunch of bugs in the handling of clients that have existing
4565 leases when the try to renew their leases while failover is
4566 operating.
4567
eaf0b302
TL
4568 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 6
4569
4570- Fix a core dump that could happen when processing a DHCPREQUEST from
4571 a client that had a host declaration that contained both a
4572 fixed-address declaration and a dhcp-client-identifier option
4573 declaration, if the client identifier was longer than nine bytes.
4574
4575- Fix a memory leak that could happen in certain obscure cases when
4576 using omapi to manipulate leases.
4577
4578- Fix some bugs and omissions in omshell.
4579
eaf0b302
TL
4580 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 5
4581
4582- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that prevented objects in
4583 chains from having their reference counts decreased on dereference.
4584
4585- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that would prevent object
4586 chains from being freed upon removal of the last reference external
4587 to the chain.
4588
4589- Fix a number of other memory leaks in the OMAPI protocol subsystem.
4590
4591- Add code in the OMAPI protocol handler to trace memory leakage.
4592
4593- Clean up the memory allocation/reference history printer.
4594
98311e4b 4595- Support input of dotted quads and colon-separated hex lists as
eaf0b302

4600- Conditionalize a piece of trace code that wasn't conditional.
4601
4602 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 4
4603
4604- Fix a bug that would prevent leases from being abandoned properly on
4605 DHCPDECLINE.
4606
4607- Fix failover peer OMAPI support.
4608
4609- In failover, correctly handle expiration of leases. Previously,
4610 leases would never be reclaimed because they couldn't make the
4611 transition from EXPIRED to FREE.
4612
4613- Fix some broken failover state transitions.
4614
4615- Documentation fixes.
4616
4617- Take out an unnecessary check in DHCP relay agent information option
4618 stashing code that was preventing REBINDING clients from rebinding.
4619
4620- Prevent failover peers from allocating leases in DHCPREQUEST
4621 processing if the lease belongs to the other server.
4622
4623- Record server version in lease file introductory comment.
4624
4625- Correctly report connection errors in OMAPI and failover.
4626
4627- Make authentication signature algorithm name comparisons in OMAPI
4628 case-insensitive.
4629
4630- Fix compile problem on SunOS 4.x

4644 the billing correctly - the previous method could overbill as a
4645 result of duplicate leases.

4663
4664- Change the conditions under which a DHCPRELEASE is actually
4665 committed to be consistent with lease binding states rather than
98311e4b 4666 using the lease end time. This may fix some problems with the
892fe689

4667 billing class code.
4668
4669- Fix a bug where lease updates would fail on Digital Unix (and maybe
4670 others) because malloc was called with a size of zero.

TL
4677- Fix the dhcp_failover_put_message to not attempt to allocate a
4678 zero-length buffer. Some versions of malloc() fail if you try to
4679 allocate a zero-length buffer, and this was causing problems on,
4680 e.g., Digital Unix.
4681
4682- Fix a case where the failover code was printing an error message
4683 when no error had occurred.
4684
4685- Fix a problem where when a server went down and back up again, the
4686 peer would not see a state transition and so would stay in the
4687 non-communicating state.
4688
4689- Be smart about going into recover_wait.
4690
4691- Fix a problem in the failover implementation where peers would fail
4692 to come into sync if interrupted in the RECOVER state. This could
4693 have been the cause of some problems people have reported recently.
4694
4695- Fix a problem with billing classes where they would not be unbilled
4696 when the client lease expired.
4697
4698- If select fails, figure out which descriptor is bad, and cut it out
4699 of the I/O loop. This prevents a potentially nasty spin. I
4700 haven't heard any report it in a while, but it came up consistently
4701 in testing.
4702
4703- Fix a bug in the relay agent where if you specified interfaces on
4704 the command line, it would fail.
4705
4706- Fix a couple of small bugs in the omapi connection object (no known
4707 user impact).
4708

4726 because of this bug. The bug should be straightforward to fix, so
4727 a new release candidate is expected shortly.

4754 checked. This may have been causing core dumps.
4755
4756- When parsing the lease file, if a lease declaration includes a
4757 billing class statement, and the lease already has a billing class,
4758 unbill the old class.
4759
4760- When processing failover transactions, where acks will be deferred,
4761 process the state transition immediately.
4762
4763- Don't try to use the new SIOCGIFCONF buffer size detection code on
4764 Linux 2.0, which doesn't provide this functionality.

4771
4772- Document the -n and -g flags to the client.
4773
4774- Make sure there is always a stdin and stdout on startup. This
4775 prevents shell scripts from accidentally writing error messages into
4776 configuration files that happen to be opened as stderr.
4777
4778- If an interface is removed, the client will now notice that it is
4779 gone rather than spinning. This has only been tested on NetBSD.
4780
4781- The client will attempt to get an address even if it can't create a
4782 lease file.

4829- Implement omshell, which can be used to do arbitrary things to the
4830 server (in theory). (Damien Neil)
4831
4832- Fix a case where if a client had two different leases the server could
4833 actually dereference the second one when it hadn't been referenced,
4834 leading to memory corruption and a core dump. (James Brister)
4835
4836- Fix a case where a client could request the address of another client's
4837 lease, but find_lease wouldn't detect that the other client had it, and
4838 would attempt to allocate it to the client, resulting in a lease conflict
4839 message.
4840
4841- Fix a case where a client with more than one client identifier could be
4842 given a lease where the hardware address was correct but the client
4843 identifier was not, resulting in a lease conflict message.
4844
98311e4b 4845- Fix a problem where the server could write out a colon-separated
3350f5b7
TL
4846 hex list as a value for a variable, which would then not parse.
4847 The fix is to always write strings as quoted strings, with any
4848 non-printable characters quoted as octal escape sequences. So
4849 a file written the old way still won't work, but new files written
4850 this way will work.

4852- Fix documentation for sending non-standard options.
4853
4854- Use unparsable names for unknown options. WARNING: this will
4855 break any configuration files that use the option-nnn convention.
4856 If you want to continue to use this convention for some options,
4857 please be sure to write a definition, like this:
4858
4859 option option-nnn code nnn = string;
4860
4861 You can use a descriptive name instead of option-nnn if you like.
4862
4863- Fix a problem where we would see a DHCPDISCOVER/DHCPOFFER/
4864 DHCPREQUEST/DHCPACK/DHCPREQUEST/DHCPNAK sequence. This was the
4865 result of a deceptively silly bug in supersede_lease.
4866

TL
4880- Add support for transaction tracing. This allows the state of the
4881 DHCP server on startup, and all the subsequent transactions, to be
4882 recorded in a file which can then be played back to reproduce the
4883 behaviour of the DHCP server. This can be used to quickly
4884 reproduce bugs that cause core dumps or corruption, and also for
4885 tracking down memory leaks.
4886
4887- Incorporate some bug fixes provided by Joost Mulders for the DLPI
4888 package which should clear up problems people have been seeing on
4889 Solaris.
4890
4891- Fix bugs in the handling of options stored as linked lists (agent
4892 options, fqdn options and nwip options) that could cause memory
4893 corruption and core dumps.

4896 not being send in some cases when they were needed.

4941- Finish fixing a long-standing bug in the agent options code. This
4942 was causing core dumps and failing to operate correctly - in
4943 particular, agent option stashing wasn't working. Agent option
4944 stashing should now be working, meaning that agent options can be
4945 used in class statements to control address allocation.
4946

4954- Fix a compile error on some older operating systems.

4957 transmitting packets to the server. Handy for debugging; not much
4958 practical use otherwise.

4969- Work around the Win98 DHCP client, which NUL-terminates the FQDN
4970 option.

4973 the update even when they don't have any way to do it.
4974
4975- Fix some log messages that can be printed when failover is operating
4976 that were not printing enough information.
4977
4978- It was possible for a DHCPDISCOVER to get an allocation even when
4979 the state machine said the server shouldn't be responding.
4980
4981- Don't load balance DHCPREQUESTs from clients in RENEWING and
4982 REBINDING, since in RENEWING, if we heard it, it's for us, and in
4983 REBINDING, the client wouldn't have got to REBINDING if its primary
4984 were answering.

5000- Thanks to Chris Cheney and Michael Sanders, we have a fix for the
5001 hang that they both spotted in the DHCP server - when
5002 one-lease-per-client was set, the code to release the "other" lease
5003 could spin.
5004
5005- Fix a problem with alignment of the input buffer in bpf in cases
5006 where two packets arrive in the same bpf read.
5007
5008- Fix a problem where the relay agent would crash if you specified an
5009 interface name on the command line.
5010
5011- Add the ability to conditionalize client behaviour based on the
5012 client state.
5013
5014- Add support for the FQDN option, and added support for a new way of
5015 doing ddns updates (ddns update style interim) that allows more than
5016 one DHCP server to update the DNS for the same network(s). This
5017 was implemented by Damien Neil with some additional functionality
5018 added by Ted Lemon.
5019
5020- Damien added a "log" statement, so that the configuration file can
5021 be made to log debugging information and other information.
5022
5023- Fixed a bug that caused option buffers not to be terminated with an
5024 end option.
5025
5026- Fixed a long-standing bug in the support for option spaces where the
5027 options are stored as an ordered list rather than in a hash table,
5028 which could theoretically result in memory pool corruption.
5029
5030- Prevent hardware declarations with no actual hardware address from
5031 being written as something unparsable, and behave correctly in the
5032 face of a null hardware address on input.
5033
5034- Allow key names to be FQDNs, and qualify the algorithm name if it is
5035 specified unqualified.
5036
5037- Modify the DDNS update code so that it never prints the "resolver
5038 failed" message, but instead says *why* the resolver failed.
5039

5041 RFC.

5103- Fix a possible DoS attack where a client could cause the checksummer
5104 to dump core. This was a read, not a write, so it shouldn't be
5105 possible to exploit it any further than that.
5106
5107- Implement client- and server-side support for using the Client FQDN
5108 option.
5109
5110- Support for other option spaces in the client has been added. This
5111 means that it is now possible to define a vendor option space on the
5112 client, request options in that space from the server (which must
5113 define the same option space), and then use those options in the
5114 client. This also allows NWIP and Client FQDN options to be used
5115 meaningfully.
5116
5117- Add object initializer support. This means that objects can now be
5118 initialized to something other than all-zeros when allocated, which
5119 makes, e.g., the interface object support code a little more robust.
5120
5121- Fix an off-by-one bug in the host stuffer. This was causing host

5174- Incorporated Peter Marschall's proposed change to array/record
5175 parsing, which allows things like the slp-agent option to be encoded
5176 correctly. Thanks very much to Peter for taking the initiative to
5177 do this, and for doing such a careful job of it (e.g., updating the
5178 comments)!
