0e76cb91 41 Changes since 4.3.6 (New Features)
3210786b 42
f9741514
FD
43- Added --enable-bind-install to install embedded bind includes and
44 libraries. Default is to not install them (it was the previous
45 behavior). If you'd like to change the includedir and/or libdir
5a67b030
FD
46 installation directories to something different than for ISC DHCP
47 you must pass them using the --with-bind-extra-config configuration
48 arguments.
f9741514
FD
49 [ISC-Bugs #39318]
50
007ba82a
FD
51- Added support of dynamic shared libraries with libtool. A new
52 --enable-libtool configuration parameter is available but
53 should not be used directly: *please* read the build configuration
54 section in the README file for the recommended procedure.
55 [ISC-Bugs #29402]
56
417b7b4a
TM
57- IPv6 operation now supports an EUI-64 based address allocation which will
58 calculate addresses for clients with EUI-64 DUIDs based on those DUIDs when
59 enabled by setting use-eui-64 true. The parameter may defined down to the
60 pool scope. Note this feature must be compiled in by defining EUI_64 in
61 includes/site.h. This flag is undefined by default.
62 [ISC-Bugs #43927]
63
c8f0b32a
MS
64- Added new compile time option --with-srv-conf-file which specifies a
65 default location of the server configuration file.
66 [ISC-Bugs #44765]
67
a68ec967
MS
68- Added --dad-wait-time parameter to dhclient. It specifies the maximum time,
69 in seconds, that the client process should wait for the duplicate address
70 detection to complete before initiating DHCP requests. This value is
71 propagated to the dhclient script and the script is responsible for waiting
72 the specified amount of time or until DAD has completed. If the script does
73 not support it, specifying this parameter has no effect. The default value
74 is 0 which specifies that the script should not wait for DAD. With this
75 change the following scripts have been modified to support the new parameter:
76 freebsd, linux, macos, netbsd, openbsd.
77 [ISC-Bugs #36169]
78
251bb4b9 79- Modified DDNS support initialization such that DNS related ports will only be
ca22af89
TM
80 opened by the server (dhcpd) at startup if ddns-update-style is not "none";
81 by dhclient only if and when the it first attempts an update; and never by
82 dhcrelay. Prior to this all three always did the initialization at startup
83 which causes them to always open on and listen for traffic on two random
ff343a30 84 ports. Thanks to Rodney Beede for reporting the issue.

TM
85 [ISC-Bugs #45290]
86 [ISC-Bugs #33377]
87
8c785e79
TM
88- Added error logging to two memory allocation failure checks. Thanks to Bill
89 Parker (wp02855 at gmail dot com) for reporting the issue.
90 [ISC-Bugs #41185]
91
251bb4b9 92- Corrected a dhclient -6 issue that caused the client to crash with an
93 "Impossible condition" error after de-preferencing its only IA binding.
94 The crash occurred when server configuration changes rendered the existing
01bfe9c5
TM
95 binding out-of-range and no other leases were available to offer. Thanks
96 to Pierre Clerissi for bringing this issue to our attention.
251bb4b9 97 [ISC-Bugs #44373]
98
5c03ed37 99- By defining CALL_SCRIPT_ON_ONETRY_FAIL in includes/site.h, dhclient will
100 now call the script with reason set to FAIL when run with -1 (one try) and
101 there are no server responses. This applies to IPv4 mode only. Thanks for a
102 patch by Martin Pitt which got to us via Andrew Pollock.
a489cc48
TM
103 [ISC-bugs #18183]
104
6573afff 105- Linux script updated. The script is now based on Debian version. It uses
fbe81d8e
TM
106 ip tool from iproute2 package and ifconfig is no longer used. This also
107 addresses an issue of calling arping with inappropriate parameter.
6573afff 108 [ISC-bugs #19430]
fbe81d8e 109 [ISC-bugs #18111]
6573afff 110
30afd7db 111- The directory minires has been removed from the source tree. It has
c1beb003 112 long been obsolete for branches other than v4_1_esv. Additionally,
30afd7db
TM
113 includes/minires.h was renamed includes/ns_name.h.
114 [ISC-bugs #45471]
115
b3e6fd51
TM
116- The directory includes/isc-dhcp and it's only occupant, dst.h, have
117 been removed from the source tree. They are obsolete for branches
118 other than v4_1_esv.
119 [ISC-bugs #45541]
120
7512d88b
TM
121- Replaced ISC licensing with Mozilla Public License, MPL 2.0 licensing
122 throughout. Please see https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/MPL/2.0/ to read
123 the MPL 2.0 license terms.
124 [ISC-Bugs #45541]
125
3e985dbf
TM
126- Load balancing for failover peers can now be disabled by setting
127 "load balance max secs" to 0. Doing so for both peers means both
128 servers will respond to all DHCPDISCOVERs or DHCPREQUESTs as soon as
129 they are received.
130 [ISC-Bugs #39669]
131
c0e9661e
TM
132- Added a new dhclient command line parameter, --prefix-len-hint <length>.
133 When used in conjunction with -P, it directs dhclient to use the given
8e219746
TM
134 length as the prefix length hint when requesting prefixes. Thanks to
135 H. Peter Anvin for suggesting this change.
3e88222f
TM
136 [ISC-Bugs #43792]
137 [ISC-Bugs #35112]
138 [ISC-Bugs #32228]
139 [ISC-Bugs #29470]
140
141- dhclient will now wait for 10 seconds after declining an IPv4 address
142 before issuing a discover. This is in keeping with RFC 2131, section 3.1.5.
143 Prior to this dhclient did not wait at all. The amount of time dhclient
144 waits can be specified via a new command line parameter:
145 --decline-wait-time <seconds>. A value of zero equates to no wait at all.
ecf9f77b 146 Thanks to Pavel Kankovsky for bringing this matter to our attention.
3e88222f 147 [ISC-Bugs #45457]
c0e9661e 148
83f1dd95
TM
149- Corrected dhclient command line parsing for --dad-wait-time that causes
150 even valid values to fail as invalid on some environments.
151 [ISC-Bugs #46535]
152
35e86889
TM
153- dhclient will now include the lease address when logging DHCPOFFERs,
154 DHCPREQUESTs, DHCPACKs, DHCPRELEASEs, and DHCPDECLINEs. Additionally,
155 DHCPOFFERs will be logged before their corresponding DHCPREQUESTs are
156 sent and logged.
157 [ISC-Bugs #2729]
158
d6057334
TM
159- When given the -T command line argument, in addition to reading the
160 current lease file, the server will write the leases to a temporary
161 lease file. This can help detect issues in server configuration that
162 only surface when leases are written to the file. The current lease
163 file will not be modified and the temporary lease file is removed upon
164 completion of the test.
165 [ISC-Bugs #22267]
166
0f69ff73
TM
167- dhclient will now generate a DHCPv6 DECLINE message containing all IA_NA
168 addresses which for which the client script indicates a DAD failure. After
169 receiving the DECLINE reply, dhclient will restart the solicit process.
170 Note, the client script must exit with a value of 3 to signify that the
171 address failed DAD. Thanks to Jiri Popelka of Red Hat for submitting the
172 patch that was the foundation for this change.
1aca5897
TM
173 [ISC-Bugs #21237]
174 [ISC-Bugs #23357]
f0f3555e 175 [ISC-Bugs #36966]
0f69ff73 176
30593241
TM
177- Replaced compilation option, enable-secs-byteorder, with a run-time, server
178 configuration parameter, check-secs-byte-order. When enabled, the
179 server will check for clients that do the byte ordering on the secs field
180 incorrectly. This field should be in network byte order but some clients
181 get it wrong. When this parameter is enabled the server will examine the
182 secs field and if it looks wrong (high byte non zero and low byte zero) swap
183 the bytes. The default is disabled. This parameter is only useful when
184 doing load balancing within failover.
185 [ISC-Bugs #45364]
186
bafa7b74
TM
187- Added --release-on-roam to dhcpd server. When enabled and the server detects
188 that a DHCPv6 client (IAID+DUID) has roamed to a new network, it will release
189 the pre-existing leases on the old network and emit a log statement similar
190 to the following:
59336f80
TM
191
192 "Client: <id> roamed to new network, releasing lease: <address>"
193
194 The server will carry out all of the same steps that would normally occur
bafa7b74
TM
195 when a client explicitly releases a lease. This behavior is disabled by
196 default and may only be specified globally. Prior to this the server renders
197 the leases unavailable until they expire or the server is restarted. Clients
198 that need leases in multiple networks must supply a unique IAID in each IA.
199 When release-on-roam is disabled (the default) the server maintains the
200 prior behavior of making such leases unavailable until they expire or the
201 server is restarted. Clients that need leases in multiple networks must
202 supply a unique IAID in each IA. This parameter may only be specified at
203 the global level. Thanks to Fernando Soto from BlueCat Networks for
204 suggesting this change.

59336f80 207
60882b8a
TM
208- The ability of the server to send back dhcp6.vendor-opts values has been
209 restored. A change in 4.3.5 (see #29246) which enabled it to send back the
210 FQDN option unfortunately broke its ability send back dhcp6.vendor-opts.
2bc53156
TM
211 Thanks to Sumant Gupta (sumantgupta at gmail dot com) of Landis+Gry for
212 bringing this issue to our attention.
60882b8a
TM
213 [ISC-Bugs #46427]
214
b53ba157
TM
215- The default value for server (-6) parameter, prefix-length-mode, has been
216 changed from "exact" to "prefer". In "prefer" mode the server will offer
217 the first available prefix with the same length as that requested by the
218 client. If none are found then it will offer the first available prefix of
219 any length. This is more in line with with RFC 8168 and should improve
220 the out-of-the-box user experience.
221 [ISC-Bugs #45615]
222
bbdac71d
TM
223- Added support for 'dhcp-cache-threshold' to IPv6 operation: If a client
224 renews before 'dhcp-cache-threshold' percent of its lease has elapsed
225 (default 25%), the server will reuse the allocated lease (provide a
226 lease within the currently allocated lease-time) rather than extend or
227 renew the lease. This allows the server to reply without needlessly
228 writing leases to disk. The preferred and valid lease lifetimes
229 sent to the client will be reduced by the age of the lease. The option
230 may be specified down to the pool level and is supported for all three
231 pool types: NA, TA, and PD.
232 [ISC-Bugs #45292]
233
905c58b9
TM
234- Added three new server configuration parameters which influence DDNS:
235 1. ddns-dual-stack-mixed-mode - alters DNS conflict resolution behavior
236 to mitigate issues with non-compliant clients in dual stack environments.
237
238 2. ddns-guard-id-must-match - relaxes the DHCID RR client id matching
239 requirement of DNS conflict resolution.
240
2f3eca17 241 3. ddns-other-guard-is-dynamic - alters dual-stack-mixed-mode behavior to
905c58b9
TM
242 allow unguarded DNS entries to be overwritten in certain cases
243 [ISC-Bugs #42620]
25e4af8b
TM
244 [ISC-Bugs #42621]
245 [ISC-Bugs #44753]
905c58b9 246
e6ffc27f
TM
247- A "key-algorithm <algorithm>" statement has been added to omshell to
248 allow the specification of the key algorithm to use during transaction
249 authentication. Prior to this it was hard-coded to be hmac-md5. It now
250 supports all of the same algorithms as the dhcpd server: hmac-md5 (the
251 default), hmac-sha1, hmac-sha224, hmac-sha256, hmac-sha384, and hmac-sha512.
252 [ISC-Bugs #46771]
253
c2e5ee28
TM
254- Added a server configuration parameter, persist-eui-64-leases, which
255 determines whether or not EUI-64 based leases are written to the
256 leases file. Default is true.
257 [ISC-Bugs #45046]
258
140612c8
TM
259- Changed the default value of the prefix length passed by dhclient into the
260 client script for each IPv6 address, from 64 to 128. In addition, dhclient
261 now supports a command line argument, --address-prefix-len <len>, which may
262 be used to override the default value. PLEASE NOTE: If your DHCPv6 clients
263 require a value other than 128, you MUST specify the value via this new
264 command line argument. Prior to this the only way to alter the value was at
265 compile time by changing DHCLIENT_DEFAULT_PREFIX_LEN in include/sites.h.
266 [ISC-Bugs #23252]
fa6c4c08 267 [ISC-Bugs #37221]
140612c8 268
f1fc5ede
TM
269- Modified dhclient (-6) to bypass sending a confirm (INIT REBOOT) when it has
270 only expired address assocations. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for
271 raising the issue and submitting the patch.
272 [ISC-Bugs #22675]
273
4406f9b0
TM
274- Support for delayed-ack is now compiled in by default. Prior to this
275 it had to be enabled at compile time via --enable-delayed-acks. The
276 default value for delayed-ack, however, has been changed from 28 to 0
277 (i.e. disabled). This was done to minimize the impact on users not
278 currently using the feature. Please note that the delayed-ack feature
700e3fca
TM
279 is not currently compatible with support for DHPCv4-over-DHCPv6 so
280 when a 4to6 port command line argument enables this in the server the
281 delayed-ack value is reset to 0.
4406f9b0
TM
282 [ISC-Bugs #42446]
283
e8b058cf
TM
284- Corrected some minor coverity issues: CID 1426059, 1426058, and 1426057.
285 [ISC-Bugs #46836]
286
f1208e79
TM
287- The server (-6) now honors the parameter, update-static-leases, for static
288 (fixed-address6) DHCPv6 leases. It is worth noting that because stateful
289 data is not retained by the server for static leases, each time a client
290 requests or renews a static lease, the server will perform DDNS updates for
291 it. This may have significant performance implications for environments
292 with many clients that request or renew static leases often. Similarly,
293 the DNS entries will not be removed by server when a client issues a RELEASE
294 nor if the lease is deleted from the configuration. In such cases the DNS
295 entries must be removed manually. This feature is disabled by default.
17689a82
TM

f1208e79 301
a2a0f98c
FD
302- Added to the server (-6) a new statement, local-address6, which specifies
303 the source address of packets sent by the server. An additional flag,
ab77c8b8
TM
304 bind-local-address6, disabled by default, binds the service socket to
305 to local-address6. Note that bind-local-address does not work with direct
306 clients: a relay has to forward packets to the server using the
307 local-address6 destination.
a2a0f98c
FD
308 [ISC-Bugs #46084]
309
0e5c1661
TM
310- Removed an "Impossible condition" error upon exit in the dhcpd server that
311 has been shutdown via OMAPI. This condition was only apparent under Solaris
312 when building with --enable-use-sockets and --enable-ipv4-pktinfo.
313 [ISC-Bugs #36118]
314
0e76cb91 315 Changes since 4.3.6 (Bugs):
0b0a1399 316
0e76cb91
TM
317- Corrected an issue where the server would return a client's previously
318 released prefix lease even when the client provides a prefix length
319 hint that does not match the prior lease. Now the server will only
320 return the previous lease if it exactly matches the hint. If not
321 it will attempt to allocate a new prefix based on the hint and the
322 prefix-length-mode. Thanks to Tim DeNike - Lightspeed Communications
323 for pointing out the error of our ways.
324 [ISC-bugs #45780]
d1489a35 325
0e76cb91
TM
326- Added explicit include of BIND9 isc/util.h to adapt to revisisions
327 in BIND9 (see BIND9 ticket #46311). Prior to this the build was failing
328 with implicit function declarations errors for POST() and INSIST().
329 [ISC-bugs #46332]
d1489a35 330
0e76cb91
TM
331- Added to code ignore empty IPv4 host name option (code 12). While RFC 2132
332 states the option cannot be empty, some clients are apparently capable of
333 sending it. Prior to this the server was attempting to use it and store it
334 in the lease file causing issues with DDNS and so forth.
335 [ISC-bugs #43786]
d1489a35 336
0e76cb91
TM
337- Replaced iasubopt::heap_index with separate values for active and inactive
338 heaps: iasubopt::active_index and iasubopt::inactive_index. This was done
339 to accomodate a change in behavior in BIND9 isc_heap_delete().
340 [ISC-bugs #46719]

TM
342! Plugged a socket descriptor leak in OMAPI, that can occur when there is
343 data pending to be written to an OMAPI connection, when the connection
344 is closed by the reader. Thanks to Pavel Zhukov at RedHat for bringing
345 this issue to our attention and whose patch helped guide us in the right
346 direction.
347 [ISC-Bugs #46767]
4f553fea 348
ab77c8b8
TM
349- The server now recognizes environment variables PATH_DHCPD_DB and
350 PATH_DHCPD_PID. These had been incorrectly compiled out of the code
351 unless DHCPv6 support was disabled. Additionally, the server man
352 pages were corrected to accurately reflect how the server chooses
353 file names (see lease-file-name and pid-file-name statements). Thanks
354 to Fernando Soto at Bluecat for bringing this matter to our attention.

TM
363- The server now allows the client identifier (option 61) to own leases
364 in more than one subnet concurrently. Prior to this the server would
365 incorrectly release an existing lease in one subnet prior to assigning
366 a lease in another subnet. Note that the prior behavior can be still
367 be achieved by enabling one-lease-per-client. Thanks to both David Zych at
368 the University of Illinois and Norm Proffitt of Infoblox for reporting
369 the issue; and Norm for suggesting a solution.

372- When replying to a DHCPINFORM, the server will now include options specified

405- On 64-bit platforms, dhclient now generates the correct value for the
406 script environment variable, "expiry", the lease expiry value exceeds
407 0x7FFFFFFF. Prior to this such values would produce negative values
408 for expiry in the script environment.

411- Common timer logic was modified to cap the maximum timeout values at
412 0x7FFFFFFF - 1. Values larger than that were causing fatal timer out of

417- DHCP6 FQDN option unpacking code now correctly handles values that contain
418 spaces, special, or non-printable characters. Prior to this the buffer
419 size needed was underestimated causing a conversion error message to

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

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

444- Added --dad-wait-time parameter to dhclient. It specifies the maximum time,
445 in seconds, that the client process should wait for the duplicate address
446 detection to complete before initiating DHCP requests. This value is
447 propagated to the dhclient script and the script is responsible for waiting
448 the specified amount of time or until DAD has completed. If the script does
449 not support it, specifying this parameter has no effect. The default value
450 is 0 which specifies that the script should not wait for DAD. With this
451 change the following scripts have been modified to support the new parameter:
452 freebsd, linux, macos, netbsd, openbsd.

455- The server nows checks both the address and length of a prefix delegation
456 when attempting to match it to a prefix pool. This ensures the server
457 responds properly when pool configurations change such that once valid,
458 "in-pool" delegations are now treated as being invalid. During lease
459 file loading at startup, the server will discard any PD leases that
460 are deemed "out-of-pool" either by address or mis-matched prefix length.
461 Clients seeking to renew or rebind such leases will get a response of
462 No Binding in the case of the former, and the prefix delegation with
463 lifetimes set to zero in the case of the latter. Thanks to Mark Nejedlo
464 at TDS Telecom for reporting this issue.

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

797 and is not compatible with delayed-ack. Both client and server use 2
798 processes which communicate over UDP on a pair of sockets. The new
799 "-4o6 <port>" command line argument enables DHCPv4 over DHCPv6 support
800 and specifies the consecutive ports to use for inter-process communication.
801 Please look at doc/DHCPv4-over-DHCPv6 for more details.

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

842- The server will now reject unicast Request, Renew, Decline, and Release
843 messages from a client unless the server would have sent that client the
844 dhcp6.unicast option. This behavior is in compliance with paragraph 1 in
845 each of the sections 18.2,1, 18.2.3, 18.2.6, and 18.2.7 of RFC 3315. Prior
846 to this, the server would simply accept the messages. Now, in order for
847 the server to accept such a message, the server configuration must include
848 the dhcp6.unicast option either globally or within the shared network to
849 which the requested lease belongs. In other words, the server will map
850 the first IA_XX address found within the client message to a shared-network
851 and look for the presence of the unicast option there and then globally.
852 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for this issue and his patch which

868- Remove the dst directory. This was replaced in 4.2.0 with the dst
869 code from the Bind libraries but we continued to include it for
870 backwards compatibility. As we have now released 4.3.x it seems
871 reasonable to remove it.

874- Write out the DUID server id on startup in all cases, previously if it
875 was read in from server-duid option in the config or lease files for
876 DHCPv4 it would not be written to the new lease file.
877 [ISC-Bugs #37791]
878
879- When parsing dates for leases convert dates past 2038 to "never".
880 This avoids problems with integer overflows in the date and time
881 handling code for people that decide to use very large lease times
882 or add a lease entry with a date far in the future.

894- While parsing IPv6 addresses treat "add" as part of the address instead
895 of as a token.
896 [ISC-Bugs #39529]
897
898- Add support for accessing the v4 lease queues (active, free etc) in a
899 binary fashion instead of needing to walk through a linear list to
900 insert, find or remove an entry from the queues. In addition add a
901 compile time option "--enable-binary-leases" to enable the new code
902 or to continue using the old code. The old code is the default.
903 Thanks to Fernando Soto from BlueCat Networks for the patch.
904 [ISC-Bugs #39078]
905
906- Delayed-ack now works properly with Failover. Prior to this, bind updates
907 post startup were being queued but never delivered. Among other things, this
908 was causing leases to not transition from expired or released to free.
909 [ISC-Bugs #31474]

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

915- Corrected a crash in dhclient that occurs during lease renewal if the
916 client is performing its own DNS updates. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat
917 for the bug report.
918 [ISC-Bugs #38639]
919
920- Corrected an issue in v6 lease file parsing. Prior to this, when encountering
921 a lease with an address for which no configured pool exists, the server was
922 declaring the lease file corrupt and incorrectly skipping over the subsequent
923 entry in the file. The server will now emit a log message indicating that
924 no pool was found for the address (or prefix) and correctly resume parsing
925 with the next entry in the lease file. Our thanks to Michal Žejdl for
926 reporting the issue.
927 [ISC-Bugs #39314]
928
929- Be more liberal in finding a subnet group associated with a static
930 prefix. When we added the class matching code for v6 we also added
931 a requirement that the static prefix must be within a subnet the
932 client was in, in order to find the proper statements. We now
933 look for a subnet based on the prefix, failing that on the static
934 address for the client and failing that on the shared network
935 itself.
936 [ISC-Bugs #38329]
937
938- Add a new action expression "parse_vendor_options", which can be used
939 to parse a vendor-encapsualted-option received by the server based on
940 the encoding specified by the vendor-option-space statement.
941 [ISC-Bugs #36449]
942
943- Enhance the PARANOIA patch to include fchown() the lease file to
944 allow it to be manipulated after the server does a chown().
945 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the patch.
946 [ISC-Bugs #36978]
947
948- Relax the requirement that prefix pools must be within the subnet.
949 This was added in as part of #32453 in order to avoid configuration
950 mistakes but is being removed as prefixes aren't required to be
951 within the same subnet and many people configure them in that fashion.
952 [ISC-Bugs #40077]
953
954- Fixed a server crash that could occur when the server attempts to remove
955 the billing class from the last lease billed to a dynamic class after said
956 class has been deleted. Our thanks to Lasse Pesonen for reporting the
957 issue.

998 in packet auxiliary data. The configure script now only enables inclusion
999 of the VLAN tag-based logic if it is supported by the underlying OS.

1004- Specifying the option, --disable-debug, on the configure script command line
1005 now disables debug features. Prior to this, specifying --disable-debug
1006 incorrectly enabled debug features. Thanks to Gustavo Zacarias for reporting
1007 the issue.
1008 [ISC-Bugs #37780]
1009
1010- Unit test execution now uses a path augmented during configuration
1011 processing of the --with-atf option to locate ATF runtime tools, atf-run
1012 and atf-report. For most installations of ATF, this should alleviate the
1013 need to manually include them in the PATH, as was formerly required.
1014 If the configure script cannot locate the tools it will emit a warning,
1015 informing the user that the tools must be in the PATH when running unit
1016 tests.
1017 Secondly, please note that "make check" will now exit with a failure status
1018 code (non-zero) if one or more unit tests fail. This means that invoking
1019 "make check" from an upper level directory will cause the make process to
1020 STOP after the first test subdirectory with failed test(s). To force all
1021 tests in all subdirectories to run, regardless of individual test outcome,
1022 use the command "make -k check".

1051 [ISC-Bugs #36933] Corrects Coverity reported "medium" impact issues
1052 [ISC-Bugs #37708] Fixes compilation error in dst_api.c seen in older

1054
1055- Server now supports a failover split value of 256.
1056 [ISC-Bugs] #36664]
1057
1058- Remove unneeded error #defines. These defines were included in case
1059 external programs required the older versions of the macro. They
1060 have been #ifdeffed for now and will be removed at a future date.
1061 See site.h for the #define to include them again, but you should
1062 switch to using the DHCP_R_* versions instead of the ISC_R_* versions.
1063 Also ISC_R_MULTIPLE has been removed as it is also defined in bind.
1064 [ISC-Bugs #37128]
1065
1066- Added checks in range6 and prefix6 statement parsing to ensure addresses
1067 are within the declared subnet. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the

1076 Added checksum readiness check to Linux packet filtering which eliminates
1077 invalid packet drops due to checksum errors when checksum offloading is

1088 [ISC-Bugs #25587]
1089
1090- Added the echo-client-id configuration parameter to the server configuration.
1091 The server now supports RFC 6842 compliant behavior by setting a new
1092 configuration parameter, echo-client-id. When enabled, the server will
1093 include the client identifier option (Option code 61) if received, in its
1094 responses. The server identifier returned in NAKs (if enabled) will now
1095 be the globally defined value (if one) if the server cannot attribute the
1096 inbound request to a known subnet.
1097 [ISC-Bugs #35958]
1098 [ISC-Bugs #32545]
1099
1100- Added support of the configuration parameter, use-host-decl-names, to
1101 BOOTP request handling.
1102 [ISC-Bugs #36233]
1103
1104- Added logic to ignore the signal, SIGPIPE, which ensures write failures
1105 will be delivered as errors rather than as SIGPIPE signals on all OSs.
1106 Thanks to Marius Tomaschewski from SUSE who reported the issue and provided
1107 the patch upon which the fix is based.
1108 [ISC-Bugs #32222]
1109
1110- In the failover code, handle the case of communications being interrupted
1111 when the servers are dealing with POTENTIAL-CONFLICT. This patch allows
1112 the primary to accept the secondary moving from POTENTIAL-CONFLICT to
1113 RESOLUTION-INTERRUPTED as well as handling the bind update process better.
1114 In addition the code to resend update or update all requests has been
1115 modified to send requests more often.
1116 [ISC-Bugs #36810]
1117 [ISC-Bugs #20352]
1118
1119- By default, the server will now choose the value to use in the forward DNS
1120 name from the following in order of preference:
1121
1122 1. FQDN option if provided by the client
1123 2. Host name option if provided by the client
1124 3. Configured option host-name if defined
1125
1126 As before, this may be overridden by defining ddns-hostname to the desired
1127 value (or expression). In addition, the server logic has been extended to
1128 use the value of the host name declaration if use-host-decl-names is enabled
1129 and no other value is available.
1130 [ISC-Bugs #21323]
1131
1132- DNS updates were being attempted when dhcp-cache-threshold enabled the use of
1133 the existing lease and the forward DNS name had not changed. This has been
1134 corrected.
1135 [ISC-Bugs #37368]
1136 [ISC-Bugs #38636]
1137
1138- Corrected an issue which caused dhclient to incorrectly form the result when
1139 prepending or appending to the IPv4 domain-search option, received from the
1140 server, when either of the values being combined contain compressed
1141 components.
1142 [ISC-Bugs #20558]
1143
1144- Added the server-id-check parameter to the server configuration.
1145 This parameter allows run-time control over whether or not a server,
1146 participating in failover, verifies the dhcp-server-identifier option in
1147 DHCP REQUESTs against the server's id before processing the request.
1148 Formerly, enabling this behavior was done at compilation time through
1149 the use of the #define, SERVER_ID_CHECK, which has been removed from site.h
1150 The functionality is now only available through the new runtime parameter.
1151 [ISC-Bugs #37551]
1152
1153- During startup, when the server encounters a lease whose binding state is
1154 FTS_BACKUP but whose pool has no configured failover peer, it will reset the
1155 lease's binding state to FTS_FREE. This allows the leases to be reclaimed
1156 by the server after a pool's configuration has changed from failover to
1157 standalone. Prior to this such leases would remain stuck in the backup state
1158 making them unavailable for assignment. Note this conversion will occur
1159 whether or not the server is compiled for failover.
1160 [ISC-Bugs #36960]
1161
1162- Fixed a small issue in the treatment of hosts in the inform processing
1163 that could cause the response to an inform to include information from
1164 the wrong scope. The two examples we've heard of are getting subnet
1165 instead of group information associated with a host entry, or getting
1166 global information instead of subnet if the host entry was built via
1167 omapi. Thanks to Julien Soula at University of Lille for finding the
1168 bug and supplying a patch.
1169 [ISC-Bugs #35712]
1170
1171- Avoid calling pool_timer() recursively from supersede_lease(). This could
1172 result in leases changing state incorrectly or delaying the running of the
1173 leae expiration code.
1174 [ISC-Bugs #38002]
1175
1176- Move the check for a PID file and process to be before we rewrite the
1177 lease file. This avoids the possibility of starting a second instance
1178 of a server which changes the current lease file confusing the first
1179 instance. This check is only included if the admin hasn't disabled PID
1180 files.
1181 [ISC-Bugs #38078]
1182 [ISC-Bugs #38143]
1183
1184- In the client code change the way preferred_life and max_life are printed
1185 for environment variables to be unsigned rather than signed.
1186 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the bug report and patch.
1187 [ISC-Bugs #37084]
1188
1189- Modified Linux packet handling such that packets received via VLAN are now
1190 seen only by the VLAN interface. Prior to this, such packets were seen by
1191 both the VLAN interface and its parent (physical) interface, causing the
1192 server to respond to both. Note this remains an issue for non-Linux OSs.
1193 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the patch.

1198
1199- Log content has been changed to more directly suggest that admins should
1200 check for multiple IPv6 clients attempting to use the same DUID when only
1201 abandoned addresses are available. Debug level logging will now emit counts
1202 of the total number of, in-use, and abandoned addresses in a shared subnet
1203 when the server finds no addresses available for a given DUID. Lastly,
1204 threshold logging is now automatically disabled for shared subnets whose
1205 total number of possible addresses exceeds (2^64)-1.
1206 [ISC-Bugs #26376]
1207 [ISC-Bugs #38131]
1208
1209- Added a global parameter, prefix-length-mode, which may be used to determine
1210 how the server uses a non-zero value for prefix-length supplied by clients
1211 when soliciting DHCPv6 prefixes. The server supports selection modes of:
1212 ignore, prefer, exact, minimum and maximum which are described in detail in
1213 the server man pages. The prior behavior of the server was to only offer a
1214 prefix whose length exactly matched the prefix-length value requested. If
1215 no such prefixes were available, the server returned a status of none
1216 available. Note the default mode, "exact", provides this same behavior.
1217 [ISC-Bugs #36780]
1218 [ISC-Bugs #32228]
1219
1220- Corrected inconsistencies in dhcrelay's setting the upper interface hop count
1221 limit such that it now sets it to 32 when the upstream address is a multicast
1222 address per RFC 3315 Section 20. Prior to this if the -u argument preceded
1223 the -l argument on the command line or if the same interface was specified
1224 for both; the logic to set the hop limit count for the upper interface was
1225 skipped. This caused the hop count limit to be set to the default value
1226 (typically 1) in the outbound upstream packets.

51b8a8a0
SR
1388
1389- If a client renews before 'dhcp-cache-threshold' percent of its lease
1390 has elapsed (default 25%), the server will reuse the allocated lease
1391 (provide a lease within the currently allocated lease-time) rather
1392 than extend or renew the lease. This absolves the server of needing
1393 to perform an fsync() operation on the lease database before reply,
1394 which improves performance. [ISC-Bugs #22228]
80778e94 1395 Updated this patch to support asynchronous DDNS. If the server is
adb95d23 1396 attempting to do DDNS on a lease it should be updated and written to
4809ef5c 1397 disk even if that wouldn't be necessary due to the thresholding.

32e651c4
SR
1404- A problem with missing get_hw_addr function when --enable-use-sockets
1405 was used is now solved on GNU/Linux, BSD and GNU/Hurd systems. Note
1406 that use-sockets feature was not tested on those systems. Client and
1407 server code no longer use MAX_PATH constant that is not defined on
3cb6f9bb 1408 GNU/Hurd systems. [ISC-Bugs #25979]
32e651c4 1409
67418698
SR
1410- Add a perl script in the contrib directory, dhcp-lease-list.pl, which
1411 can parse v4 lease files and output the lease information in a more
1412 human friendly manner. This was written by Christian Hammers with
1413 some updates by vom and ISC. This is contributed code and is not
1414 supported by ISC; however it may be useful to some users.

1422
d7d9c0c7
SR
1423- Update the DDNS code to current standards and allow for sharing
1424 of DDNS entries between v4 and v6 clients. The new code is used
1425 if the ddns-update-style is set to "standard", the older code is
1426 still available if ddns-update-style is set to "interim". The
1427 oldest DDNS code "ad-hoc" has been removed. Thanks to Thomas Pegeot
1428 who submitted a patch for this issue. This patch is based on
1429 that work with some modifications.
64fb661c 1430 [ISC-Bugs #21139]
1534fff7 1431
cde11a4c
SR
1432- Add a configuration option to the server to suppress using fsync().
1433 Enabling this option will mean that fsync() is never called. This
1434 may provide better performance but there is also a risk that a lease
1435 will not be properly written to the disk after it has been issued
1436 to a client and before the server stops. Using this option is
1437 not recommended.
64fb661c 1438 [ISC-Bugs #34810]
cde11a4c 1439
f88446f1
SR
1440- Add some logging statements to indicate when the server is ready
1441 to serve. One statement is emitted after the server has finished
1442 reading its files and is about to enter the dispatch loop.
1443 This is "Server starting service.".
1444 The second is emitted when a server determines that both it and
1445 its failover peer are in the normal state.
1446 This is "failover peer <name>: Both servers normal."

619304cd
SR

1450 statement allows the administrator to choose which relay to
1451 use when searching for an option, see the dhcp-options man page
6b9c9f87
SR
1452 for a description. The host-identifier option has also been
1453 updated to support the use of relay options, see the dhcpd.conf

e54ff84f 1457- When doing DDNS if there isn't an appropriate zone statement attempt
80778e94 1458 to find a reasonable nameserver via a DNS resolver. This restores
e54ff84f
SR
1459 some functionality that was lost in the transition to asynchronous
1460 DDNS. Due to the lack of security and increase in fragility of the
1461 system when using this feature we strongly recommend the use of
1462 appropriate zone statements rather than using this functionality.
1463 [ISC-Bugs #30461]
1464
61ef216b
SR
1465- Add support for specifying the address from which to send
1466 DDNS updates on the DHCP server. There are two new options
1467 "ddns-local-address4" and "ddns-local-address6" that each take
1468 one instance of their respective address types.
1469 [ISC-Bugs #34779]
4d079f0e 1470
38ee81bd
SR
1471- Add ignore-client-uids option in the server. This option causes
1472 the server to not record a client's uid in its lease. This
1473 violates the specification but may also be useful when a client
1474 can dual boot using different client ids but the same mac address.

7dc4e69c 1504
01a44a77
SR
1505- An optimization described in the failover protocol draft is now included,
1506 which permits a DHCP server operating in communications-interrupted state
1507 to 'rewind' a lease to the state most recently transmitted to its peer,
1508 greatly increasing a server's endurance in communications-interrupted.
1509 This is supported using a new 'rewind state' record on the dhcpd.leases
1510 entry for each lease.
c5bc8b1a 1511
01a44a77 1512- Fix the trace code which was broken by the changes to the DDNS code.
d0a10f6a 1513
01a44a77

1514- Update the fsync code to work with the changes to the DDNS code. It now
1515 uses a timer instead of noticing if there are no more packets to process.
dc9d7b08 1516
01a44a77
SR
1517- When constructing the DNS name structure from a text string append
1518 the root to relative names. This satisfies a requirement in the DNS
1519 library that names be absolute instead of relative and prevents DHCP
1520 from crashing. [ISC-Bugs #21054]
a24b9f23 1521
01a44a77
SR
1522- "The LDAP Patch" that has been circulating for some time, written by
1523 Brian Masney and S.Kalyanasundraram and maintained for application to
1524 the DHCP-4 sources by David Cantrell has been included. Please be
1525 advised that these sources were contributed, and do not yet meet the
1526 high standards we place on production sources we include by default.
1527 As a result, the LDAP features are only included by using a compile-time
1528 option which defaults off, and if you enable it you do so under your
1529 own recognizance. We will be improving this software over time.

SR
1542- Modify the exception handling for initial context creation. Previously
1543 we would try and clean up before exiting. This could present problems
1544 when the cleanup required part of the context that wasn't available. It
1545 also didn't do much as we exited afterwards anyway. Now we simply log
1546 the error and exit. [ISC-Bugs #21093]
ad4001ce 1547
01a44a77
SR
1548- A bug was fixed that could cause the DHCPv6 server to advertise/assign a
1549 previously allocated (active) lease to a client that has changed subnets,
1550 despite being on different shared networks. Dynamic prefixes specifically
1551 allocated in shared networks also now are not offered if the client has
1552 moved. [ISC-Bugs #21152]

SR
1559- Modify the determination of the default TTL to use for DDNS updates.
1560 The user may still configure the ttl via ddns-ttl. The default for
1561 both v4 and v6 is now 1/2 the (preferred) lease time with a limit. The
1562 previous defaults (1/2 lease time without a limit for v4 and a default
1563 value for v6) may be used by defining USE_OLD_DDNS_TTL in site.h

2031! Previously the server code was relaxed to allow packets with zero
2032 length client ids to be processed. Under some situations use of
2033 zero length client ids can cause the server to go into an infinite
2034 loop. As such ids are not valid according to RFC 2132 section 9.14
2035 the server no longer accepts them. Client ids with a length of 1
2036 are also invalid but the server still accepts them in order to
2037 minimize disruption. The restriction will likely be tightened in
2038 the future to disallow ids with a length of 1.

2224 the system the DHCP software is operating on in responses or queries (such
2225 as including a failover partner's hostname in a dhcp message or binding

2281 to stop receiving packets is fixed. The same fix also means that the MAC
2282 address will no longer appear 'bogus' on DLPI-based systems.
2283
2284- A bug in select handling was discovered where the results of one select()
2285 call were discarded, causing the server to process the next select() call

2291 a DHCID (still currently implemented as a TXT RR). This would cause later
2292 expiration or release events to fail to remove the domain name. The feature
2293 now also inserts the client's up to date DHCID record, so records may safely

2348 they had performed ddns updates on a lease that is expiring, or was
2349 released through the primary. As part of the same fix, stale binding scopes
2350 will now be removed if a change in identity of a lease's active client is

2362- Fixed the check in the dhcp_interface_signal_handler routine to verify
2363 the existence of the linked signal handler before calling it.
2364
2267da84
DH
2365- Both host and subnet6 configuration groups are now included whether a
2366 fixed-address6 (DHCPv6) is in use or not. Host scoped configuration takes
2367 precedence. This fixes two bugs, one where host scoped configuration
2368 would not be included from a non-fixed-address6 host record, and the equal
2369 and opposite bug where subnet6 scoped configuration would not be used when
571c38b0 2370 over-riding values were not present in a matching fixed-address6 host
2267da84
DH
2371 configuration.

2373- ./configure now checks to ensure the intX_t and u_intX_t types are defined,
2374 correcting a compilation failure when using Sun's compiler.
2375
0493fdca
SR
2376- Modified the handling of a connection to avoid releasing the omapi io
2377 object for the connection while it is still in use. One symptom from
2378 this error was a segfault when a failover secondary attempted to connect
2379 to the failover primary if their clocks were not synchronized.
2380
95bba8b6
SR
2381- Clean up to allow compilation with gcc 2.95.4 on FreeBSD. Remove an
2382 extra semi-colon from common/dns.c and moved setting a variable to NULL
2383 in server/dhcpv6.c to allow the compiler to decide that the variable
9a111ee8 2384 was always properly set.

2391 Changes since 4.1.0a2
2392
2393- A cosmetic bug in DHCPDECLINE processing was fixed which caused all
2394 successful DHCPDECLINEs to be logged as "not found" rather than
2395 "abandoned".

2399- Some failover debugging #defines have been better defined and some
2400 high frequency messages moved to a deeper debugging symbol.
2401
2402- The CLTT parameter in failover is now only updated by client activity,
2403 and not by failover binding updates (taking on the peer's CLTT).
2404
2405- Failover BNDUPD messages are now discarded if they conflict with an
d7ac7a27 2406 update that has been transmitted, but not acknowledged.
1387545f 2407

fbcee149
DH
2410- Delayed-ack is now a compile-time option, compiled out by default.
2411 This feature is simply too experimental for right now, and causes
2412 some problems to some failover installations. We will revisit this
2413 in future releases.

f1672d89
DH
2415- The !inet_pton() call in res_mkupdrec was adjusted to '<= 0' as
2416 inet_pton returns either 1, 0, or -1.

236d3a99
DH
2418- A dhclient-script for MacOS X has been included, which enables
2419 'dhclient -6' support.
2420
efa5e6b9
DH
2421- DDNS removal routines were updated so that the DHCID is not removed until
2422 the client has been deprived of all A and AAAA records (not only the last
2423 one of either of those). This resolves a bug where dual stack clients
2424 would not be able to regain their names after either expiration event.

2433 routers option before the subnet mask option were receiving
2434 only the latter. Fixed.

2438- A partner-down failover server no longer emits 'peer holds all free leases'
2439 if it is able to newly-allocate one of the peer's leases.

2445- Ari Edelkind's PARANOIA patch has been included and may be compiled in
2446 via two ./configure parameters, --enable-paranoia and
2447 --enable-early-chroot.

2450 as failover, server tracing, debugging, and the execute() command.

2452- There is now a default 1/4 of a second scheduled delay between delayed
2453 fsync()'s, it can be configured by the max-ack-delay configuration
2454 parameter.

2457 hosts were given odd-looking domain names ("foo.bar.ba.example.com").

2459- Shared network selection should be done from the innermost relay
2460 valid link-address field, rather than the outermost.

2469
9ac4206a
DH
2470- DHCPv6 vendor-class options (VSIO) are now only sent when they appear
2471 on the DHCPv6 ORO. This resolves a bug where VSIO options were placed
2472 in IA_NA encapsulated options fields.
2473

2474- Integrated client with stateless, temporary address and prefix delegation
2475 support.

2484- Merge DHCPv6-only "dhcrelay6" into general-purpose "dhcrelay" (use
2485 "-6" option to select DHCPv6 mode).

d352732e
EH
2487- Fix handling of -A and -a flags in dhcrelay; it was failing to expand
2488 packet size as needed to add relay agent options.
2489
7d6180be
DH
2490- A bug in subnet6 parsing where options contained in subnet6 clauses would
2491 not be applied to clients addressed within that network was repaired.
2492
2493- When configuring a "subnet {}" or "subnet6 {}" without an explicit
2494 shared-network enclosing it, the DHCP software would synthesize a
2495 shared-network to contain the subnet. However, all configuration
2496 parameters within the subnet more intuitively belong "to any client
2497 on that interface", or rather the synthesized shared-network. So,
2498 when a shared-network is synthesized, it is used to contain the
2499 configuration present inside the subnet {} clause. This means that
2500 the configuration will be valid for all clients on that network, not
2501 just those addressed out of the stated subnet. If you intended the
2502 opposite, the workaround is to explicitly configure an empty
2503 shared-network.
2504
2505- A bug was fixed where Information-Request processing was not sourcing
2506 configured option values.
2507
2508- A warning was added since the DHCPv6 processing software does not yet
2509 support class statements.

adb95d23 2511- Compilation warnings on GCC 4.3 relating to bootp source address
dd484ced
DH
2512 selection were repaired.

ecddae64
DH
2514- The v6 BSD socket method was updated to use a single UDP BSD socket
2515 no matter how many interfaces are involved, differentiating the
2516 interfaces the packets were received on by the interface index supplied
2517 by the OS.
2518
2519- The relay agent no longer listens to the All DHCP Servers Multicast
2520 address.

2523 once for two invocations of vsprintf() variants.

d104d45b
DH
2525- ERO (RFC 4994) server support.
2526
2527- Basic and partial DHCPv6 leasequery support.

4cafb815 2536- Added explicit parser support for zero-length DHCP options, such as
6d7f9584 2537 rapid-commit, via format code 'Z'.
4cafb815 2538
022fe95e
EH
2539- It's now possible to update the "ends" field of a lease with OMAPI.
2540 This is useful if you want not only to release a lease, but also make
2541 it available for reuse right away. Hat tip to Christof Chen.

9a111ee8 2543- Fixed definition of the iaaddr hash functions to use the correct
1dcc3612

2553- NoAddrsAvail answers to SOLICITs are always ADVERTISEs even when a SOLICIT
2554 carries a rapid-commit option.

2556- Return in place of raise an impossible condition when one tries to release
2557 an empty active lease.

FD
2559- Timer granularity is now 1/100s in the DHCPv6 client.
2560
01a54c17
EH
2561- The dhclient-script was updated to create a host route for the default
2562 gateway if the supplied subnet mask for an IPv4 address was a /32. This
2563 allows the client to work in 'captive' network environments, where the
2564 operator does not want clients to crosstalk directly.
2565
adb95d23 2566- MINUS tokens should be parsable again.
01a54c17
EH
2567
2568- Multiple (up to "delayed-ack x;" maximum) DHCPv4 packets are now queued and
2569 released in bursts after single fsync() events when the upper limit is
2570 reached or if the receiving sockets go dry. The practical upshot is
2571 that fsync-coupled server performance is now multiplicitively increased.
2572 The default delayed ack limit is 28. Thanks entirely to a patch from
2573 Christof Chen.
2574
2575 Changes since 4.0.0 (bug fixes)
2576

2580 config file but -6 is not specified.
2581

2583
2584- The 'min-secs' configuration parameter's log message has been updated to
2585 be more helpful.
2586
2587- The warning logged when an address range doesn't fit in the subnets
2588 they were declared has been updated to be more helpful and identify the
2589 typo in configuration that created the spanning addresses.
2590
2591- A bug in failover pool rebalancing that caused POOLREQ message ping-pongs
2592 was repaired.
2593
2594- A flaw in failover pool rebalancing that could cause POOLREQ messages to
2595 be sent outside of the min-balance/max-balance scheduled intervals has
2596 been repaired.
2597
2598- A cosmetic bug during potential-conflict recovery that caused the peer's
2599 'conflict-done' state message to be logged as 'unknown-state' has been
2600 repaired. It is now logged correctly.
2601
49f61135
DH
2602- A bug was fixed where the 'giaddr' may be used to find the client's subnet
2603 rather than its own 'ciaddr'.
2604
41d4652f
DH
2605- A log message was introduced to clarify the situation where a failover
2606 'address' parameter (the server's local address) did not resolve to an
2607 IPv4 address.
2608
2c9bf1f4
DH
2609- The minimum site code value was set to 224 in 3.1.0 to track RFC3942. This
2610 broke a lot of legacy site local configurations. The new code in place will
2611 track site local space minimum option codes and logs a warning to encourage
2612 updates and exploration of site local code migration problems. Option
2613 codes less than 128 in site local spaces remain inaccessible.
2614
2615- A possible relay agent option bug was repaired where random server
2616 initialization state may have been used to signal the relay agent
2617 information options sub-option code for the 'END' of the option space.
2618
cff9b78f
SK
2619- Fixes to allow code to compile and run on Solaris 9.

c4d29896
SK
2621- Fixes to allow code to compile on Mac OS X Leopard (10.5).
2622
57fcb8d9
SK
2623- When server is configured with options that it overrides, a warning is
2624 issued when the configuration file is read, rather than at the time the
2625 option is overridden. This was important, because the warning was given
9a111ee8 2626 every time the option was overridden, which could create a lot of
57fcb8d9
SK
2627 unnecessary logging.
2628
219a65eb
DH
2629- Fixed a compilation problems on platforms that define a value for FDDI,
2630 which conflicts with a dhcp configuration syntax token by the same name.
2631
ffdf3c8c
DH
2632- When a failover server suspects it has encountered a peer running a
2633 version 3.0.x failover server, a warning that the failover wire protocol
2634 is incompatible is printed.
2635
2636- The failover server no longer issues a floating point error if it encounters
2637 a previously undefined option code.
2638

MA
2639- Fix startup error messages to report a missing "subnet6 declaration", rather
2640 than a missing "subnet declaration", when running as a DHCPv6 server.
2641
9a111ee8 2642- DHCPv6 client timestamp in DUID was based on the year 1970 rather
7e9f7a1b

2653- The reverse dns name for PTR updates on IPv6 addresses has been fixed to
2654 use ip6.arpa. rather than default to in-addr.arpa and require user
2655 configuration.
76db44f9 2656
e32529a5
EH
2657- dhc6_lease_destroy() and dhc6_ia_destroy() now set lease and IA pointers
2658 to NULL after freeing, to prevent subsequent accesses to freed memory.
2659
9a111ee8 2660- The DHCPv6 server would not send the preference option unless the
76db44f9
SK
2661 client requested it, via the ORO. This has been fixed, so the DHCPv6
2662 server will always send the preference value if it is configured.
e4a6be15 2663
9a111ee8
TM
2664- When addresses were passed as hints to the server in an IA, they were
2665 incorrectly handled, sometimes being treated as an error. Now the
6f76de58
SK
2666 server will treat these as hints and ignore them if it cannot supply
2667 a requested address.
2668
703873ab
DH
2669- If the client had multiple addresses, and one expired (was not renewed
2670 by the server), the client would continue to attempt to renew the same
2671 old address over and over. Now, the client will omit any expired
2672 addresses from future Confirm, Renew, or Rebind messages.
2673
2674- dhclient -6 will now select renew/rebind timers based upon the longest
2675 address expiration time rather than the shortest expiration time, in
2676 order to avoid cascading renewals in the event a server elects not to
2677 extend one of multiple IAADDR leases.
2678
b024480e
DH
2679- The server now limits clients that request multiple addresses to one
2680 address per IA by default, which can be adjusted through the
2681 "limit-addrs-per-ia" configuration option.
2682
c0216cb7

2683- The DHCPv6 client now issues fresh transaction IDs on Renew and Rebind
2684 message exchanges, rather than using the most recent ID.

2692 the success DHCPv6 status-code, was fixed.

2699- ./configure now autodetects local database locations rather than trying
2700 to put dhcpd.leases and dhclient.leases in /usr/local/var/db, which no
2701 one ever has.

b1d3778c
DH
2715- Relative time may now be used as a qualifier for 'allow' and 'deny' access
2716 control lists. These directives may be used to assist in re-addressing
2717 address pools without having to constantly reconfigure the server. Please
2718 see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more information on allow/deny 'after time' syntax.

2722 them, if advertised by the client. It still only seeks to allocate one
2723 new address.

75135a3f 2727- Use different paths for PID and lease files when running in DHCPv4
adb95d23 2728 or DHCPv6 mode, so that servers for both protocols can be run
75135a3f

2732 of service under unusual server configurations

9a111ee8 2751- The DHCP server no longer requires a "ddns-update-style" statement,
884a458f
SK
2752 and now defaults to "none", which means DNS updates are disabled.

2765 "-Werror" (unused variable) rather than the actual test failure. Lead
2766 to inconsistent and unworkable auto-configurations.

DH
2773- DHCPv6 server Confirm message processing has been enhanced - it no
2774 longer replies only to clients with host {} records, it now replies
2775 as directed in RFC3315 section 18.2.2 - that is, to all clients
2776 regardless of the existence of bindings.

DH
2780- DDNS updates state information are now stored in 'binding scopes' that
2781 follow the leases through their lifecycles. This enables DDNS teardowns
2782 on leases that are assigned and expired inbetween a server restart (the
2783 state is recovered from dhcpd.leases). Arbitrary user-specified binding
2784 scopes ('set var = "value";') are not yet supported.

2898 Changes since 3.1.0 (NEW FEATURES)
2899
2900- DHCPv6 Client and Server protocol support. Use '-6' to run the daemons
2901 as v6-only. Use '-4' to run the daemons as v4-only (default. There is
2902 no support currently for both.
2903
2904- Server support for multiple IA_NA options, containing at most one
2905 IAADDR option.
2906
2907- Client support for one IA_NA option, containing any number of IAADDR
2908 options.
2909
2910- Server support for the DHCPv6 Information-request message.
2911
2912- Inappropriate unicast DHCPv6 messages sent to the server are now
2913 discarded, and this has rearchitected the IO system slightly.
2914
2915- The DHCPv6 server DUID defaults to type 1, is persistently stored in
2916 the leases database, and can be over-ridden (either completely, or by
2917 specifying type 1 or type 2).
2918
2919- The server only uses Rapid-Commit if it has been configured with the
2920 Rapid-Commit option and the client requests it.
2921
2922- DDNS support. We now update AAAA records in the same place we would
2923 update A records, if we have an IPv6 address. We also generate IP6.ARPA
2924 style names for PTR records if we're dealing with an IPv6 address. Both
2925 A and AAAA updates are done using the same 'fqdn.' virtual option space
2926 (although the DHCPv4 FQDN and DHCPv6 FQDN options are formatted
2927 differently, they both use the same code here).
2928
2929- The Linux dhclient-script attempts to set and remove assigned addresses,
2930 and to configure /etc/resolv.conf from nameserver and domain name
2931 configurations. It can be extended to configure other parameters.
2932
2933- Initial DHCPv6 lease support.
2934
2935- The IO system now tracks all local IP addresses, so that the DHCP
2936 applications (particularly the dhcrelay) can discern between what frames
2937 were transmitted to it, and what frames are being carried through it which
2938 it should not intercept.

DH
2940 Changes since 3.1.0 (Maintenance)
2941
2942- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for virgin leases always
2943 mapped to the primary. Virgin leases now have an interleaved preference
2944 between primary and secondary.
2945
2946- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for clients with no client
2947 identifier was sometimes mishashed to the peer. Load balancing during
2948 runtime and pool rebalancing were opposing.

aa3e348e
DH
2950- An assertion in lease counting relating to reserved leases was repaired.
2951
e9c59645
DH
2952- The subnet-mask option inclusion now conforms with RFC2132 section 3.3;
2953 it will only appear prior to the routers option if it is present on the
2954 Parameter-Request-List. The subnet-mask option will also only be
2955 included by default (if it is not on the PRL) in response to DISCOVER
2956 or REQUEST messages.
2957
2958- The FQDN option is only supplied if the client supplied an FQDN option or
2959 if the FQDN option was explicitly requested on the PRL.

DH
2968 Changes since 3.1.0b2
2969
2970- Failover rebalance events no longer play ping pong with round errors
2971 (moving leases between free and back to backup where there are an
2972 odd number of leases).
2973
2974- The 'pool' log line has been split into two messages, one before the
2975 rebalance run, and one after.
2976
2977- Any queued BNDACKs are transmitted before transmitting new BNDUPDs.
2978 This enforces the correct sequence of events for the remote server
2979 processing these messages.

2984 objects.
2985
1ba87b37
EH
2986- A new server config option "fqdn-reply" specifies whether the server
2987 should send out option 81 (FQDN). Defaults to "on". If set to "off",
2988 the FQDN option is not sent, even if the client requested it. This is
2989 needed because some clients misbehave otherwise. Thanks to Christof Chen
2990 at Allianz.

a58da042
EH
2992- Allow trace output files (-tf option) to be overwritten, rather than
2993 crashing dhcpd if the file already exists

2995- A bug was fixed that caused dhcpd to segfault if a pool was declared
2996 outside the scope of a subnet in dhcpd.conf.

2998- Some uninitialized values were repaired in dhcpleasequery.c that
2999 caused the server to abort.

4d2eaafb
DH
3001- A new server config option, 'do-reverse-updates', has been added
3002 which causes the server to abstain from performing updates on PTR
3003 records. Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen at Allianz.

DH
3011- 'dhcp.c(3953): non-null pointer' has been repaired. This fixes a flaw
3012 wherein the DHCPv4 server may ignore a configured server-identifier.

3035 hash table was repaired.
3036
616d67cb
DH
3037- The servers now try harder to transmit pending binding updates when
3038 entering normal state.
3039
3040- UPDREQ/UPDREQALL handling was optimized - it no longer dequeues and
3041 requeues all pending updates. This should reduce the number of spurious
66c8f734
DH
3042 'xid mismatch' log messages.
3043
3044- An option definition referencing leak was fixed, which resulted in early
3045 termination of dhclient upon the renewal event.
616d67cb 3046
6708d944
DH
3047- Some default hash table sizes were tweaked, some upwards, some downwards.
3048 3.1.0a1's tables resulted in a reduction in default server memory use.
3049 The new selected values provide more of a zero sum (increasing the size
3050 of tables likely to be populated, decreasing the size of tables unlikely).
3051
45d545f0 3052- Lease structures appear in three separate hashes: by IP address, by UID,
6708d944
DH
3053 and by hardware address. One type of table was used for all three, and
3054 improvements to IP address hashing were applied to all three (so UID and
3055 hardware addresses were treated like 4-byte integers). There are now two
3056 types of tables, and the uid/hw hashes use functions more appropriate
3057 to their needs.
3058
3059- The max-lease-misbalance percentage no longer causes scheduled rebalance
3060 runs to be skipped: it still governs the schedule, but every scheduled
3061 run will attempt balance.
3062
a7ee93fe
DH
3063- A segfault bug in recursive encapsulation support has been corrected.
3064
98311e4b
DH
3065 Changes since 3.0 (New Features)
3066
3067- A workaround for certain STSN servers that send a mangled domain-name
3068 option was introduced for dhclient. The client will now accept corrupted
3069 server responses, if they contain a valid DHCP_MESSAGE_TYPE (OFFER, ACK,
3070 or NAK). The server will continue to not accept corrupt client packets.
3071
98bd7ca0 3072- Support for 'reserved' (pseudo-static) and BOOTP leases via failover
a55ccdd0 3073 was introduced.
98311e4b
DH
3074
3075- Support for adding, removing, and managing class and subclass statements
3076 via OMAPI.
3077
a55ccdd0
DH
3078- The failover implementation was updated to comply with revision 12 of
3079 the protocol draft.
3080
98311e4b
DH
3081- 'make install' now creates the initial zero-length dhcpd.leases file if
3082 one does not already exist on the system.
3083
b43c87ad 3084- RFC3942 compliance, site-local option spaces start at 224 now, not 128.
b43c87ad 3085
0b17f049
DH
3086- The Load Balance Algorithm was misimplemented. The current implementation
3087 matches RFC 3074.
3088
2727c1cf
DH
3089- lcase() and ucase() configuration expressions have been added which adjust
3090 their arguments from upper to lower and lower to upper cases respectively.
2714a8ef 3091 Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
2727c1cf 3092
febbd402
DH
3093- The dhclient 'reject ...;' statement, which rejects leases given by named
3094 server-identifiers, now permits address ranges to be specified in CIDR
7d7073e7 3095 notation. Thanks to a patch from David Boyce.
febbd402 3096
ee912528
DH
3097- The subnet-mask option is now supplied by default, but at lowest
3098 priority. This helps a small minority of clients that provide parameter
3099 request lists, but do not list the subnet-mask option because they were
3100 designed to interoperate with a server that behaves in this manner.
3101
3102- The FQDN option is similarly supplied even if it does not appear on the
3103 parameter request list, but not to the exclusion of options that do
3104 appear at the parameter request list. Up until now it had ultimate
3105 priority over the client's parameter request list.
3106
f7fdb216 3107- Varying option space code and length bit widths (8/16/32) are now
51202707 3108 supported. This is a milestone in achieving RFC 3925 "VIVSO" and
f7fdb216
DH
3109 DHCPv6 support.
3110
5e864416
DH
3111- A new common (server or client) option, 'db-time-format local;', has
3112 been added which prints the local time in /var/db/dhcpd.leases rather
3113 than UTC. Thanks to a patch from Ken Lalonde.
3114
b500bd4c
DH
3115- Some patches to improve DHCP Server startup speed from Andrew Matheson
3116 have been incorporated.
3117
2426234f
DH
3118- Failover pairs now implement 'MAC Affinity' on leases moving from the
3119 active to free states. Leases that belonged to the failover secondary
3120 are moved to BACKUP state rather than FREE upon exiting EXPIRED state.
3121 If lease rebalancing must move leases, it tries first to move leases
3122 that belong to the peer in need.
3123
3124- The server no longer sends POOLREQ messages unless the pool is severely
3125 misbalanced in the peer's favor (see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more details).
3126
3127- Pool rebalance events no longer happen upon successfully allocating a
3128 lease. Instead, they happen on a schedule. See 'man dhcpd.conf' for the
3129 min-balance and max-balance statements for more information.
3130
334bf491
DH
3131- The DHCP Relay Agent Information Option / Link Selection Sub-Option
3132 is now supported. (See RFC3527 for details).
3133
3004bebf
DH
3134- A new DDNS related server option, update-conflict-detection, has been
3135 added. If this option is enabled, dhcpd will perform normal DHCID
3136 conflict resolution (the default). If this option is disabled, it will
3137 instead trust the assigned name implicitly (removing any other bindings
3138 on that name). This option has not been made available in dhclient.
3139
567e8561
DH
3140- In those cases where the DHCP software manufactures an IP header (to
3141 transmit via bpf, lpf, etc), the IP TTL the software selects has been
3142 increased from 16 to 128. This is intended to match Microsoft Windows
3143 DHCP Client behaviour, to increase compatibility.
3144
a396d25f
DH
3145- 'ignore client-updates;' now has behaviour that is different from
3146 'deny client-updates;'. The client's request is not truly ignored,
3147 rather it is encouraged. Should this value be configured, the server
3148 updates DNS as though client-updates were set to 'deny'. That is, it
3149 enters into DNS whatever it is configured to do already, provided it is
3150 configured to. Then it sends a response to the client that lets the
3151 client believe it is performing client updates (which it will), probably
3152 for a different name. In essence, this lets the client do as it will,
3153 ignoring this aspect of their request.
3154
dba5803b
DH
3155- Support for compressed 'domain name list' style DHCP option contents, and
3156 in particular the domain search option (#119) was added.
3157
41e45067 3158- The DHCP LEASEQUERY protocol as defined in RFC4388 is now implemented.
6d103865
SK
3159 LEASEQUERY lets you query the DHCP server for information about a lease,
3160 using either an IP address, MAC address, or client identifier. Thanks
3161 to a patch from Justin Haddad.
3162
41e45067
DH
3163- DHCPD is now RFC2131 section 4.1 compliant (broadcast to all-ones ip and
3164 ethernet mac address) on the SCO platform specifically without any strange
3165 ifconfig hacks. Many thanks go to the Kroger Co. for donating the
3166 hardware and funding the development.
6d103865 3167
b543fea9
DH
3168- A new common configuration executable statement, execute(), has been
3169 added. This permits dhcpd or dhclient to execute a named external
3170 program with command line arguments specified from other configuration
3171 language. Thanks to a patch written by Mattias Ronnblom, gotten to us
3172 via Robin Breathe.
3173
b22de500
DH
3174- A new dhcp server option 'adaptive-lease-time-threshold' has been added
3175 which causes the server to substantially reduce lease-times if there are
3176 few (configured percentage) remaining leases. Thanks to a patch submitted
3177 from Christof Chen.
3178
96bbe8c5
SK
3179- Encapsulated option spaces within encapsulated option spaces is now
3180 formally supported.
3181
b8221d95
DH
3182 Changes since 3.0.6rc1
3183
3184- supersede_lease() now requeues leases in their respective hardware
3185 address hash bucket. This mirrors client identifier behaviour.
3186
c1e6c832
DH
3187 Changes since 3.0.5
3188
f546c28b
DH
3189- Assorted fixes for broken network devices: Packet length is now
3190 determined from the IP header length field to finally calculate the
3191 UDP payload length, because some NIC drivers return more data than
5a22eb63 3192 they actually received.
f546c28b
DH
3193
3194- UDP packets are now stored in aligned data structures.
3195
c1e6c832
DH
3196- A logic error in omapi interface code was repaired that might result in
3197 incorrectly indicating 'up' state when any flags were set, rather than
23e10d37
DH
3198 specifically the INTERFACE_REQUESTED flag. Thanks to a patch from
3199 Jochen Voss which got to us via Andrew Pollock at Debian.
c1e6c832 3200
75ab3070
DH
3201- A reference leak on binding scopes set by ddns updates was repaired.

3206- In the case where an "L2" DHCP Relay Agent (one that does not set giaddr)
3207 was directly attached to the same broadcast domain as the DHCP server,
3208 the RFC3046 relay agent information option was not being returned to the
3209 relay in the server's replies. This was fixed; the dhcp server no longer
3210 requires the giaddr to reply with relay agent information. Note that
3211 this also improves compatibility with L2 devices that "intercept" DHCP
3212 packets and expect relay agent information even in unicast (renewal)

3215- A bug was fixed where the BOOTP header 'sname' field had a value, the

3233- Some bugs were fixed in the 'emergency relay agent options hologram'
3234 which is used to retain relay agent option contents from when the
3235 client was in INIT or REBIND states. This should solve problems where
3236 relay agent options were not echoed from the server, even when giaddr
3237 was set.

3242- The server's "by client-id" and "by hardware address" hash table lists
3243 are now sorted according to the preference to re-allocate that lease to
3244 returning clients. This should eliminate pool starvation problems
3245 arising when "INIT" clients were given new leases rather than presently
3246 active ones.

901306d5 3250- A bug was repaired in fixes to the dhclient, which sought to run the
0a73b7b6
SK
3251 dhclient-script with the 'EXPIRE' state should it receive a NAK in
3252 response to a REQUEST. The client now iterates the PREINIT state
3253 after the EXPIRE state, so that interfaces that might be configured
3254 'down' can be brought back 'up' and initialized.

3261- A warning that host statements declared within subnet or shared-network
3262 scopes are actually global has been added.
3263
3264- The default minimum lease time (if min-lease-time was not specified)
3265 was raised from 0 to 300. 0 is not thought to be sensible, and is
3266 known to be damaging.
3267
3268- Added additional fatal error sanity checks surrounding lease binding
3269 state count calculations (free/active counts used for failover pool
3270 balancing).
3271

DH
3272- Some time value size fixes in 3.0.4 brought on from FreeBSD /usr/ports were
3273 misapplied to server values rather than client values. The server no longer
3274 advertises 8-byte lease-time options when on 64-bit platforms.

3276- A bug where leases not in ACTIVE state would get billed to billed classes

DH
3284- If the dhclient were to receive a DHCPNAK while it was in the RENEW
3285 state (and consequently, had an active, 'bound' address and related
3286 configuration options), it would fail to 'tear down' this information
3287 before proceeding into INIT state. dhclient now iterates the dhclient-
3288 script with the 'EXPIRE' action to cause these teardowns prior to entering
1d3bfb17 3289 INIT state. Thanks to a patch from Chris Zimmerman.

2178df03
DH
3309- Host declaration hardware addresses and client identifiers may only be

3311 multiple identifiers (previous versions would silently over-ride the
3312 value with the later configured value).

SK
3314- Several option codes that have been allocated since our last release
3315 have been named and documented.
3316
3317- Option names of the form "unknown-123" have been removed from the in-
3318 memory hash tables. In order to support options of these names that
3319 may appear in dhclient.leases or similar in previous versions, the
3320 parser will now find the new option code definition, or mock up a
3321 generic option code definition. This should result in a smooth
3322 transition from one name to the other, as the new name is used to
3323 write new output.

45d545f0 3337- Null-termination sensing for certain clients that unfortunately require
88cd8aca
DH
3338 it in DHCPINFORM processing was repaired.
3339
3340- The host-name option and a few others were moved from "X" format to "t"
3341 format to be compatible with new NULL handling functions.
3342
3343- DHCPINFORM processing is a little more careful about return addressing
3344 its responses, or if responding via a relay. The INFORM related
3345 messages also log the 'effective client ip address' rather than the
3346 client's supplied ciaddr (since some clients produce null ciaddrs).
3347
3348- The server was inappropriately sending leases to the RESET state in the
3349 event that multiple active leases were found to match a singly-identified
3350 client. This was changed to RELEASED (by accepting a different, ACTIVE
3351 binding, the client is implicitly releasing its lease). This repairs a
3352 bug wherein secondary servers in failover pairs detecting this condition
3353 move leases to RESET, and primaries refuse to accept that state
3354 transition (properly).
3355
3356- The memset-after-dmalloc() changes made in 3.0.4b1 have been backed out.
3357
3358 Changes since 3.0.4b1
3359
3360- Command line parsing in omshell was repaired - it no longer closes
3361 STDIN after reading one line.
3362
3363- The resolver library no longer closes the /etc/resolv.conf file
3364 descriptor it opened twice.
3365
3366- Changes to trailing NULL removal in 't' option-atoms has been rethought,
3367 it now includes 'd' (domain name) types, and tries hard not to rewind an
3368 option beyond the start of the text field it is un-terminating.
3369
3370 Changes since 3.0.3
3371
3372- A DDNS update handling function was misusing the DNS error codes, rather
3373 than the internal generic result enumeration. The result is a confusing
3374 syslog line, logging the wrong condition.
3375
3376- The DHCP Server was not checking pool balance in the case where it brought
3377 a non-ACTIVE lease out of storage for a client that was returning to use
3378 a lease it once had long ago, and had since expired.
3379
3380- Failover peers no longer bother to look for free leases to allocate when
3381 they already found the client's ACTIVE lease. DISCOVERs are load balanced
98bd7ca0 3382 whether freely-allocated or not, unless the server doubts the peer has
88cd8aca
DH
3383 leases to allocate.
3384
3385- Fixed a bug in dhcrelay agent addition code that suppressed trailing
45d545f0 3386 PAD options - it was suppressing only one trailing PAD option, rather
88cd8aca
DH
3387 than the entire block of them.
3388
3a16098f
DH
3389! Fixed some unlikely overlapping-region memcpy() bugs in dhcrelay agent
3390 option addition and stripping code. Added a few sanity checks. Although
3391 highly improbable, due to requiring the reception of a DHCP datagram well
3392 in excess of all known to be used physical MTU limitations, it is possible
3393 this may have been used in a stack overflow security vulnerability. Thanks
3394 to a patch from infamous42md.
3395
3396! Added some sanity checks to OMAPI connection/authentication code.
3397 Although highly improbable, due to having to deliver in excess of 2^32
3398 bytes of data via the OMAPI channel, not to mention requiring dhcpd to
3399 be able to malloc() a memory region 2^32 bytes in size, it was possible
3400 this might have resulted in a heap overflow security vulnerability.
3401 Thanks to a patch from infamous42md.

DH
3402
3403- dmalloc() memset()'s the non-debug (data) portion of the allocated
3404 memory to zero. Code that memset()'s the result returned by dmalloc() to
3405 zero is redundant. These redundancies were removed.
3406
3407- Some type declaration corrections to u_int16_t were made in common/tr.c
4b97eaff 3408 (Token Ring support) thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.

3409
3410- A failover bug that was allowing leases that EXPIRED or were RELEASED
3411 where tsfp and tstp are identical timestamps to languish in these
3412 transitional states has been repaired. As a side effect, lease
3413 databases should be kept more consistent overall, not just for these
3414 transitional states.
3415
3416- If the lease db is deleted out from under the daemon, and it moves to rewrite
3417 the db, it will go ahead with the operation and move the new db into place
3418 once it detects the old db does not exist.
3419
3420- dhclient now ignores IRDA, SIT, and IEEE1394 network interfaces, as it
3421 is either nonsensical or (in the case of IEEE1394) is not known to support
3422 these interfaces. Thanks to Marius Gedminas and Andrew Pollock of Debian.
3423
3424- Some previously undocumented reasons for dhclient-script invoking has
45d545f0 3425 been documented in the dhclient-script.8 manpage.

3426
3427- Failover potential expiry calculations (TSTP) have been corrected. Results
3428 should be substantially more consistent, and proper given the constraints.
3429
3430- Adjusted lease state validation checks in potential-conflict, to
3431 account for possible clock skew similarly to normal state, and several
3432 previously illegal transitions were made legal (ex: active->released).
3433
3434- An impossible sanity check was removed from omapi/buffer.c, thanks to a
3435 patch from 'infamous42md'.
3436
3437- An OMAPI host/network byte order problem in lease time values has been
3438 repaired.
3439
3440- Several minor bugs, largely relating to treating 8-byte time values as
3441 4-byte entities, have been repaired after careful review of the FreeBSD
3442 ports collection's patch set. Thanks to the nameless entities who have
3443 contributed to the FreeBSD ports.
3444
3445- When writing a trace file, the file is now created with permissions 0600,
3446 to help administrators avoid accidentally publicising sensitive config
3447 data.
3448
3449- The calculation of the maximum size of DHCP packets no longer includes
3450 Ethernet framing overhead. The result is that the 'Maximum Message
3451 Size' option advertised by clients, or the default value 576, is no
3452 longer reduced by 14 bytes, and instead directly reflects the IP level
3453 MTU (and the default, minimum allowed IP MTU of 576).
3454
3455- The special status of RELEASED/EXPIRED/RESET leases when a server
3456 is operating in partner-down was fixed. It no longer requires a
3457 lease be twice the MCLT beyond STOS to 'reallocate', and the expiry
3458 event to turn these into FREE leases without peer acknowledgement
3459 (after STOS+MCLT) has been repaired.
3460
3461- Compilation on older Solaris systems (lacking /usr/include/sys/int_types.h)
3462 has been repaired.
3463
3464- "append"ing a string onto the end of a "t" type option (such as the
3465 domain-name field) that had been improperly NULL-terminated by the
3466 DHCP server will no longer result in a truncated string containing
3467 only the option from the server, and not the expected appended value.
4b97eaff 3468 Thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.

DH
3469
3470- File handlers on configuration state (config files and lease dbs) should
98bd7ca0 3471 be treated consistently, regardless of whether TRACING is defined or not.
88cd8aca 3472
45d545f0 3473- The Linux build environment has had some minor improvements - better
88cd8aca
DH
3474 sensing of 64-bit pointer sizes (only used for establishing an icmp_id),
3475 and corrections to #if operators regarding LINUX_MAJOR should it ever
3476 move to 3.[01].x.
3477
3478- The server now tries harder to survive the condition where it is unable
3479 to open a new lease file to rewrite the lease state database.

3481 Changes since 3.0.3b3
3482
3483- dhclient.conf documentation for interface {} was updated to reflect recent
3484 discussion on the dhcp-hackers mailing list.
3485
3486- In response to reports that the software does not compile on GCC 4.0.0,
3487 -Werror was removed from Makefile.conf for all platforms that used it.
3488 We will address the true problem in a future release; this is a temporary
3489 workaround.
3490
3491 Changes since 3.0.3b2
3492
3493- An error in code changes introduced in 3.0.3b2 was corrected, which caused
3494 static BOOTP clients to receive random addresses.
3495
3496 Changes since 3.0.3b1
3497
3498- A bug was fixed in BOOTPREQUEST handling code wherein stale references to
3499 host records would be left behind on leases that were not allocated to the
3500 client currently booting (eg in the case where the host was denied booting).
3501
3502- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated to be more clear in regards to
3503 multiple host declarations (thanks to Vincent McIntyre). 'Interim' style
3504 dynamic updates were also retouched.

3506 Changes since 3.0.2
3507
3508- A bug was fixed where a server might load balance a DHCP REQUEST to its
45d545f0 3509 peer after already choosing not to load balance the preceding DISCOVER.
98311e4b
DH
3510 The peer cannot allocate the originating server's lease.
3511
3512- In the case where a secondary server lost its stable storage while the
3513 primary was still in communications-interrupted, and came back online,
3514 the lease databases would not be fully transferred to the secondary.
3515 This was due to the secondary errantly sending an extra UPDREQ message
3516 when the primary made its state transition to PARTNER-DOWN known.
3517
3518- The package will now compile cleanly in gcc 3.3 and 3.4. As a side effect,
3519 lease structures will be 9 bytes smaller on all platforms. Thanks to
4b97eaff 3520 Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3521
3522- Interface discovery code in DISCOVER_UNCONFIGURED mode is now
3523 properly restricted to only detecting broadcast interfaces. Thanks
4b97eaff 3524 to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3525
3526- decode_udp_ip_header was changed so that the IP address was copied out
3527 to a variable, rather than referenced by a pointer. This enforces 4-byte
3528 alignment of the 32-bit IP address value. Thanks to a patch from Dr.
3529 Peter Poeml.
3530
3531- An incorrect log message was corrected thanks to a patch from
3532 Dr. Peter Poeml.
3533
3534- A bug in DDNS was repaired, where if the server's first DDNS action was
3535 a DDNS removal rather than a DDNS update, the resolver library's
3536 retransmit timer and retry timer was set to the default, implying a
3537 15 second timeout interval. Which is a little excessive in a synchronous,
3538 single-threaded system. In all cases, ISC DHCP should now hold fast to
3539 a 1-second timeout, trying only once.
3540
3541- The siaddr field was being improperly set to the server-identifier when
3542 responding to DHCP messages. RFC2131 clarified the siaddr field as
3543 meaning the 'next server in the bootstrap process', eg a tftp server.
3544 The siaddr field is now left zeroed unless next-server is configured.
3545
3546- mockup_lease() could have returned in an error condition (or in the
3547 condition where no fixed-address was found matching the shared
3548 network) with stale references to a host record. This is probably not
3549 a memory leak since host records generally never die anyway.
3550
3551- A bug was repaired where failover servers would let stale client identifiers
3552 persist on leases that were reallocated to new clients not sending an id.
3553
3554- Binding scopes ("set var = value;") are now removed from leases allocated
3555 by failover peers if the lease had expired. This should help reduce the
3556 number of stale binding scopes on leases.
3557
3558- A small memory leak was closed involving client identifiers larger than
3559 7 bytes, and failover.
3560
3561- Configuring a subnet in dhcpd.conf with a subnet mask of 32 bits might
3562 cause an internal function to overflow heap. Thanks to Jason Vas Dias
4b97eaff 3563 at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3564
3565- Some inconsistencies in treating numbers that the lexer parsed as 'NUMBER'
3566 or 'NUMBER_OR_NAME' was repaired. Hexadecimal parsing is affected, and
3567 should work better.
3568
3569- In several cases, parse warnings were being issued before the lexical
3570 token had been advanced to the token whose value was causing an error...
3571 causing parse warnings to claim the problem is on the wrong token.
3572
3573- Host declarations matching on client identifier for dynamic leases will
3574 no longer match fixed-address host declarations (this is now identical
3575 to behaviour for host records matching on hardware address).
3576
3577 Changes since 3.0.2rc3
3578
3579- A previously undocumented configuration directive, 'local-address',
3580 was documented in the dhcpd.conf manpage.
3581
3582 Changes since 3.0.2rc2
3583
45d545f0 3584- Two variables introduced in 3.0.2b1 were used without being initialized
98311e4b
DH
3585 in the case where neither the FILE nor SNAME fields were available for
3586 overloading. This was repaired.
3587
3588- A heretofore believed to be impossible corner case of the option
3589 overloading implementation turned out to be possible ("Unable to sort
3590 overloaded options after 10 tries."). The implementation was reworked
3591 to consider the case of an option so large it would require more than
3592 three chunks to fit.
3593
3594- Many other instances of variables being used without being initialized
3595 were repaired.
3596
3597- An uninitialized variable in omapi_io_destroy() led to the discovery
3598 that this function may result in orphaned pointers (and hence, a memory
3599 leak).
3600
3601 Changes since 3.0.2rc1
3602
3603- allocate_lease() was rewritten to repair a bug in which the server would
3604 try to allocate an ABANDONED lease when FREE leases were available.
3605
3606 Changes since 3.0.2b1
3607
3608- Some dhcp-eval.5 manpage formatting was repaired.
3609
3610 Changes since 3.0.1
3611
3612- A bug was fixed in the server's 'option overloading' implementation,
3613 where options loaded into the 'file' and 'sname' packet fields were
3614 not aligned precisely as rfc2131 dictates.
3615
3616- The FreeBSD client script was changed to support the case where a domain
3617 name was not provided by the server.
3618
3619- A memory leak in 'omshell' per each command line parsed was
3620 repaired, thanks to a patch from Jarkko Torppa.
3621
3622- Log functions writing to stderr were adjusted to use the STDERR_FILENO
3623 system definition rather than '2'. This is a no-op for 90% of platforms.
3624
3625- One call to trace_write_packet_iov() counted the number of io vectors
3626 incorrectly, causing inconsistent tracefiles. This was fixed.
3627
3628- Some expression parse failure memory leaks were closed.
3629
3630- A host byte order problem in tracefiles was repaired.
3631
3632- Pools configured in DHCPD for failover possessing permission lists that
adb95d23 3633 previously were assumed to not include dynamic bootp clients are now
98311e4b
DH
3634 a little more pessimistic. The result is, dhcpd will nag you about just
3635 about most pools that possess a 'allow' statement with no 'deny' that
3636 would definitely match a dynamic bootp client.
3637
3638- The 'ddns-update-style' configuration warning bit now insists that
3639 the configuration be globally scoped.
3640
3641- Two memory leaks in dhclient were closed thanks to a patch from Felix
3642 Farkas.
3643
3644- Some minor but excellently pedantic documentation errors were fixed
3645 thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
3646
3647- Bugs in operator precedence in executable statements have been repaired
3648 once again. More legal syntaxes should be parsed legally.
3649
3650- Failing to initialize a tracefile for any reason if a tracefile was
3651 specified is now a fatal error. Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
3652
3653- Corrected a bug in which the number of leases transferred as calculated
3654 by the failover primary and sent to peers in POOLRESP responses may be
3655 incorrect. This value is not believed to be used by other failover
3656 implementations, excepting perhaps as logged information.
3657
3658- Corrected a bug in which 'dhcp_failover_send_poolresp()' was in fact
3659 sending POOLREQ messages instead of POOLRESP mesasges. This message
3660 was essentially ignored since failover secondaries effectively do not
3661 respond to POOLREQ messages.
3662
3663- Type definitions for various bitwidths of integers in the sunos5-5
3664 build of ISC DHCP have been fixed. It should compile and run more
3665 easily when built in 64-bit for this platform.
3666
3667- "allow known-clients;" is now a legal syntax, to avoid confusion.
3668
3669- If one dhcp server chooses to 'load balance' a request to its failover
3670 peer, it first checks to see if it believes said peer has a free
3671 lease to allocate before ignoring the DISCOVER.
3672
3673- log() was logging a work buffer, rather than the value returned by
3674 executing the statements configured by the user. In some cases,
3675 the work buffer and the intended results were the same. In some other
3676 cases, they were not. This was fixed thanks to a patch from Gunnar
3677 Fjone and directconnect.no.
3678
3679- Compiler warnings for some string type conversions was fixed, thanks
3680 to Andreas Gustafsson.
3681
3682- The netbsd build environments were simplified to one, in which
3683 -Wconversion is not used, thanks to Andreas Gustafsson.
3684
3685- How randomness in the backoff-cutoff dhclient configuration variable
3686 is implemented was better documented in the manpage, and the behaviour
3687 of dhclient in REQUEST timeout handling was changed to match that of
3688 DISCOVER timeout handling.
3689
3690- Omapi was hardened against clients that pass in null values, thanks
3691 to a patch from Mark Jason Dominus.
3692
3693- A bug was fixed in dhclient that kept it from doing client-side
3694 ddns updates. Thanks to a patch from Andreas Gustafsson, which
3695 underwent some modification after review by Jason Vas Dias.
3696
3697- Failover implementations disconnected due to the network between
3698 them (rather than one of the two shutting down) will now try to
3699 re-establish the failover connection every 5 seconds, rather than
3700 to simply try once and give up until one of them is restarted.
3701 Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from Infoblox, and field testing
3702 by Greger V. Teigre which led to an enhancement to it.
3703
3704- A problem that kept DHCP Failover secondaries from tearing down
3705 ddns records was repaired. Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from
3706 Infoblox.
3707
3708- 64bit pointer sizes are detected properly on FreeBSD now.
3709
3710- A bug was repaired where the DHCP server would leave stale references
3711 to host records on leases it once thought about offering to certain
3712 clients. The result would be to apply host and 'known' scopes to the
3713 wrong clients (possibly denying booting). NOTE: The 'mis-host' patch
3714 that was being circulated as a workaround is not the way this bug was
3715 fixed. If you were a victim of this bug in 3.0.1, you are cautioned
3716 to proceed carefully and see if it fixes your problem.
3717
3718- A bug was repaired in the server's DHCPINFORM handling, where it
3719 tried to divine the client's address from the source packet and
3720 would get it wrong. Thanks to Anshuman Singh Rawat.
3721
3722- A log message was introduced to help illuminate the case where the
3723 server was unable to find a lease to assign to any BOOTP client.
3724 Thanks to Daniel Baker.
3725
3726- A minor dhcpd.conf.5 manpage error was fixed.
3727
3728 Changes since 3.0.1rc14
3729
3730- The global variable 'cur_time' was centralized and is now uniformly of a
3731 type #defined in system-dependent headers. It had previously been defined
3732 in one of many places as a 32-bit value, and this causes mayhem on 64-bit
3733 big endian systems. It probably wasn't too healthy on little endian
3734 systems either.
3735
3736- A printf format string error introduced in rc14 was repaired.
3737
3738- AIX system-dependent header file was altered to only define NO_SNPRINTF
3739 if the condition used to #ifdef in vsnprintf in AIX' header files
3740 is false.
3741
3742- The Alpha/OSF system-dependent header file was altered to define
3743 NO_SNPRINTF on OS revisions older than 4.0G.
3744
3745- omapip/test.c had string.h added to its includes.
3746
3747 Changes since 3.0.1rc13
3748
3749! CAN-2004-0460 - CERT VU#317350: Five stack overflow exploits were closed
3750 in logging messages with excessively long hostnames provided by the
3751 clients. It is highly probable that these could have been used by
3752 attackers to gain arbitrary root access on systems using ISC DHCP 3.0.1
3753 release candidates 12 or 13. Special thanks to Gregory Duchemin for
3754 both finding and solving the problem.
3755
3756! CAN-2004-0461 - CERT VU#654390: Once the above was closed, an opening
45d545f0 3757 in log_*() functions was evidenced, on some specific platforms where
98311e4b
DH
3758 vsnprintf() was not believed to be available and calls were wrapped to
3759 sprintf() instead. Again, credit goes to Gregory Duchemin for finding
3760 the problem. Calls to snprintf() are now linked to a distribution-local
3761 snprintf implementation, only in those cases where the architecture is
3762 not known to provide one (see includes/cf/[arch].h). If you experience
3763 linking problems with snprintf/vsnprintf or 'isc_print_' functions, this
3764 is where to look. This vulnerability did not exist in any previously
3765 published version of ISC DHCP.
3766
3767- Compilation on hpux 11.11 was repaired.
3768
3769- 'The cross-compile bug fix' was backed out.
3770
3771 Changes since 3.0.1rc12
3772
3773- Fixed a bug in omapi lease lookup function, to form the hardware
3774 address for the hash lookup correctly, thanks to a patch from
3775 Richard Hirst.
3776
3777- Fixed a bug where dhcrelay was sending relayed responses back to the
3778 broadcast address, but with the source's unicast mac address. Should
3779 now conform to rfc2131 section 4.1.
3780
3781- Cross-compile bug fix; use $(AR) instead of ar. Thanks to Morten Brorup.
3782
3783- Fixed a crash bug in dhclient where dhcpd servers that do not provide
3784 renewal times results in an FPE. As a side effect, dhclient can now
3785 properly handle 0xFFFFFFFF (-1) expiry times supplied by servers. Thanks
3786 to a patch from Burt Silverman.
3787
3788- The 'ping timeout' debugs from rc12 were removed to -DDEBUG only,
45d545f0 3789 and reformatted to correct a compilation error on Solaris platforms.
98311e4b
DH
3790
3791- A patch was applied which fixes a case where leases read from the
3792 leases database do not properly over-ride previously read leases.
3793
3794- dhcpctl.3 manpage was tweaked.
3795
3796 Changes since 3.0.1rc11
3797
3798- A patch from Steve Campbell was applied with minor modifications to
3799 permit reverse dns PTR record updates with values containing spaces.
3800
3801- A patch from Florian Lohoff was applied with some modifications to
3802 dhcrelay. It now discards packets whose hop count exceeds 10 by default,
3803 and a command-line option (-c) can be used to set this threshold.
3804
3805- A failover bug relating to identifying peers by name length instead of
3806 by name was fixed.
3807
45d545f0 3808- Declaring failover configs within shared-network statements should no
98311e4b
DH
3809 longer result in error.
3810
3811- The -nw command line option to dhclient now works.
3812
3813- Thanks to a patch from Michael Richardson:
3814 - Some problems with long option processing have been fixed.
3815 - Some fixes to minires so that updates of KEY records will work.
3816
3817- contrib/ms2isc was updated by Shu-Min Chang of the Intel Corporation.
3818 see contrib/ms2isc/readme.txt for revision notes.
3819
3820- Dhclient no longer uses shell commands to kill another instance of
3821 itself, it sends the signal directly. Thanks to a patch from Martin
3822 Blapp.
3823
3824- The FreeBSD dhclient-script was changed so that a failure to write to
3825 /etc/resolv.conf does not prematurely end the script. This keeps dhclient
3826 from looping infinitely when this is the case. Thanks to a patch from
3827 Martin Blapp.
3828
3829- A patch from Bill Stephens was applied which resolves a problem with lease
3830 expiry times in failover configurations.
3831
3832- A memory leak in configuration parsing was closed thanks to a patch from
3833 Steve G.
3834
3835- The function which discovers interfaces will now skip non-broadcast or
3836 point-to-point interfaces, thanks to a patch from David Brownlee.
3837
3838- Options not yet known by the dhcpd or dhclient have had their names
3839 changed such that they do not contain # symbols, in case they should ever
3840 appear in a lease file. An option that might have been named "#144" is
3841 now "unknown-144".
3842
3843- Another patch from Bill Stephens which allows the ping-check timeout to
3844 be configured as 'ping-timeout'. Defaults to 1.
3845
3846 Changes since 3.0.1rc10
3847
3848- Potential buffer overflows in minires repaired.
3849
3850- A change to the linux client script to use /bin/bash, since /bin/sh may
3851 not be bash.
3852
3853- Some missing va_end cleanups thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
3854
3855- A correction of boolean parsing syntax validation - some illegal syntaxes
3856 that worked before are now detected and produce errs, some legal syntaxes
3857 that errored before will now work properly.
3858
3859- Some search-and-replace errors that caused some options to change their
3860 names was repaired.
3861
3862- Shu-min Chang of the Intel corporation has contributed a perl script and
3863 module that converts the MS NT4 DHCP configuration to a ISC DHCP3
3864 configuration file.
3865
3866- Applied the remainder of the dhcpctl memory leak patch provided by Bill
3867 Squier at ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
3868
3869- Missing non-optional failover peer configurations will now result in a soft
3870 error rather than a null dereference.
3871
3872 Changes since 3.0.1rc9
3873
3874- A format string was corrected to fix compiler warnings.
3875
3876- A number of spelling corrections were made in the man pages.
3877
3878- The dhclient.conf.5 man page was changed to refer to do-forward-updates
3879 rather than a configuration option that doesn't exist.
3880
3881- A FreeBSD-specific bug in the interface removal handling was fixed.
3882
3883- A Linux-specific Token Ring detection problem was fixed.
3884
3885- Hashes removed from as-yet-unknown agent options, having those options
3886 appear in reality before we know about them will no longer produce
3887 self-corrupting lease databases.
3888
3889- dhclient will use the proper port numbers now when using the -g option.
3890
3891- A order-of-operations bug with 2 match clauses in 1 class statement is
3892 fixed thanks to a patch from Andrew Matheson.
3893
3894- Compilation problems on Solaris were fixed.
3895
3896- Compilation problems when built with DEBUG or DEBUG_PACKET were repaired.
3897
3898- A fix to the dhcp ack process which makes certain group options will be
3899 included in the first DHCPOFFER message was made thanks to a patch from
3900 Ling Gou.
3901
3902- A few memory leaks were repaired thanks to patches from Bill Squier at
3903 ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
3904
3905- A fix for shared-networks that sometimes give clients options for the
3906 wrong subnets (in particular, 'option routers') was applied, thanks to
3907 Ted Lemon for the patch.
3908
3909- Omshell's handling of dotted octets as values was changed such that dots
3910 one after the other produce zero values in the integer string.
3911
3912 Changes since 3.0.1rc8
3913
3914- Fix a format string vulnerability in the server that could lead to a
3915 remote root compromise (discovered by NGSEC Research Team, www.ngsec.com).
3916
3917- Add additional support for NetBSD/sparc64.
3918
3919- Fix a bug in the command-line parsing of the client. Also, resolve
3920 a memory leak.
3921
3922- Add better support for shells other than bash in the Linux client
3923 script.
3924
3925- Various build fixes for modern versions of FreeBSD and Linux.
3926
3927- Fix a bad bounds check when printing binding state names.
3928
3929- Clarify documentation about fixed-address and multiple addresses.
3930
3931- Fix a typo in the authoritative error message.
3932
3933- Make a log entry when we can't write a billing class.
3934
3935- Use conversion targets that are the right size on all architectures.
3936
3937- Increment the hop count when relaying.
3938
3939- Log a message when lease state is changed through OMAPI.
3940
3941- Don't rerun the shared_network when evaluating the pool.
3942
3943- Fix a reversed test in the parser.
3944
3945- Change the type of rbuf_max.
3946
3947- Make FTS_LAST a manifest constant to quiet warnings.
3948
3949 Changes since 3.0.1rc7
3950
3951- Fix two compiler warnings that are generated when compiling on Solaris
3952 with gcc. These stop the build, even though they weren't actually
3953 errors, because we prefer that our builds generate no warnings.
3954
3955 Changes since 3.0.1rc6
3956
3957- Don't allow a lease that's in the EXPIRED, RELEASED or RESET state
3958 to be renewed.
3959
3960- Implement lease stealing for cases where the primary has fewer leases
3961 than the secondary, as called for by the standard.
3962
3963- Add a fudge factor to the lease expiry acceptance code, (suggested
3964 by Kevin Miller of CMU).
3965
3966- Fix a bug in permit_list_match that made it much too willing to say
3967 that two permit lists matched.
3968
3969- Unless DEBUG_DNS_UPDATES is defined, print more user-friendly (and
3970 also more compact) messages about DNS updates.
3971
3972- Fix a bug in generating wire-format domain names for the FQDN option.
3973
3974- Fix a bug where the FQDN option would not be returned if the client
3975 requested it, contrary to the standard.
3976
3977- On Darwin, use the FreeBSD DHCP client script.
3978
3979- On NetBSD/sparc, don't check for casting warnings.
3980
3981- Add a flag in the DHCP client to disable updating the client's A
3982 record when sending an FQDN option indicating that the client is
3983 going to update its A record.
3984
3985- In the client, don't attempt a DNS update until one second after
3986 configuring the new IP address, and if the update times out, keep
3987 trying until a response, positive or negative, is received from the
3988 DNS server.
3989
3990- Fix an uninitialized memory bug in the DHCP client.
3991
3992- Apply some FreeBSD-specific bug fixes suggested by Murray Stokely.
3993
3994- Fix a bug in ns_parserr(), where it was returning the wrong sort
3995 of result code in some cases (suggested by Ben Harris of the
3996 NetBSD project).
3997
3998- Fix a bug in is_identifier(), where it was checking against EOF
3999 instead of the END_OF_FILE token (also suggested by Ben Harris).
4000
4001- Fix a bug where if an option universe contained no options, the
4002 DHCP server could dump core (Walter Steiner).
4003
4004- Fix a bug in the handling of encapsulated options.
4005
4006- Fix a bug that prevented NWIP suboptions from being processed.
4007
4008- Delete the FTS_BOOTP and FTS_RESERVED states and implement them
4009 as modifier flags to the FTS_ACTIVE state, as called for in the
4010 failover protocol standard.
4011
4012- Fix bugs in the pool merging code that resulted in references and
4013 dereferences of null pointers. This bug had no impact unless the
4014 POINTER_DEBUG flag was defined.
4015
4016- In the server, added a do-forward-updates flag that can be used to
4017 disable forward updates in all cases, so that sites that want the
4018 clients to take sole responsibility for updating their A record can
4019 do so.
4020
4021- Make it possible to disable optimization of PTR record updates.
4022
4023 Changes since 3.0.1rc5
4024
4025- Include some new documentation and changes provided by Karl Auer.
4026
4027- Add a workaround for some Lexmark printers that send a double-NUL-
4028 terminated host-name option, which would break DNS updates.
4029
4030- Fix an off-by-one error in the MAC-address checking code for
4031 DHCPRELEASE that was added in 3.0.1rc5.
4032
4033- Fix a bug where client-specific information was not being discarded
4034 from the lease when it expired or was released, resulting in
4035 problems if the lease was reallocated to a different client.
4036
4037- If more than one allocation pool is specified that has the same set
4038 of constraints as another allocation pool on the same shared
4039 network, merge the two pools.
4040
4041- Don't print an error in fallback_discard, since this just causes
4042 confusion and does not appear to be helping to encourage anyone to
4043 fix this bug.
4044
4045 Changes since 3.0.1rc4
4046
4047- Fix a bug that would cause the DHCP server to spin if asked to parse
4048 a certain kind of incorrect statement.
4049
4050- Fix a related bug that would prevent an error from being reported in
4051 the same case.
4052
4053- Additional documentation.
4054
4055- Make sure that the hardware address matches the lease when
4056 processing a DHCPRELEASE message.
4057
4058 Changes since 3.0.1rc3
4059
4060- A minor bug fix in the arguments to a logging function call.
4061- Documentation update for dhcpd.conf.
4062
adbef119 4063 Changes since 3.0.1rc2
98311e4b
DH
4064
4065- Allow the primary to send a POOLREQ message. This isn't what the current
4066 failover draft says to do, so we may have to back it out if I can't get the
4067 authors to relent, but the scheme for balancing that's specified in the
4068 current draft seems needlessly hairy, so I'm floating a trial balloon.
4069 The rc1 code did not implement the method described in the draft either.
4070
adbef119 4071 Changes since 3.0.1rc1
98311e4b
DH
4072
4073- Treat NXDOMAIN and NXRRSET as success when we are trying to delete a
4074 domain or RRSET. This allows the DHCP server to forget about a name
4075 it added to the DNS once it's been removed, even if the DHCP server
4076 wasn't the one that removed it.
4077
4078- Install defaults for failover maximum outstanding updates and maximum
4079 silent time. This prevents problems that might occur if these values
4080 were not configured.
4081
4082- Don't do DDNS deletes if ddns-update-style is none.
4083
4084- Return relay agent information options in DHCPNAK. This prevents DHCPNAK
4085 messages from being dropped when the relay agent information option contains
4086 routing information.
4087
4088- Fix a problem where coming up in recover wouldn't result in an update
4089 request being sent.
4090
4091- Add some more chatty messages when we start a recovery update and when it's
4092 done.
4093
4094- Fix a possible problem where some state might have been left around
4095 after the peer lost contact and regained contact about how many updates
4096 were pending.
4097
4098- Don't nix a lease update because of a lease conflict. This test has
4099 never (as far as I know) prevented a mistake, and it appears to cause
4100 problems with failover.
4101
4102- Add support in rc history code for keeping a selective history, rather
4103 than a history of all references and dereferences. This code is only used
4104 when extensive additional debugging is enabled.
4105
adbef119 4106 Changes since 3.0
98311e4b
DH
4107
4108- Make allocators for hash tables. As a side effect, this fixes a memory
4109 smash in the subclass allocation code.
4110
4111- Fix a small bug in omshell where if you try to close an object when
4112 no object is open, it dumps core.
4113
4114- Fix an obscure coredump that could occur on shutdown.
4115
4116- Fix a bug in the recording of host declaration rubouts in the lease file.
4117
4118- Fix two potential spins in the host deletion code.
4119
4120- Fix a core dump that would happen if an application tried to update
4121 a host object attribute with a null value.
4122
4123 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 12
4124
4125- Fix a memory leak in the evaluation code.
4126
4127- Fix an obscure core dump.
4128
4129- Print a couple of new warnings when parsing the configuration file
4130 when crucial information is left out.
4131
4132- Log "no free leases" as an error.
4133
4134- Documentation updates.
4135
4136 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 11
4137
4138- Always return a subnet selection option if one is sent.
4139
4140- Fix a warning that was being printed because an automatic data
4141 structure wasn't zeroed.
4142
4143- Fix some failover state transitions that were being handled
4144 incorrectly.
4145
4146- When supersede_lease is called on a lease whose end time has already
4147 expired, but for which a state transition has not yet been done, do
4148 a state transition. This fixes the case where if the secondary
4149 allocated a lease to a client and the lease "expired" while the
4150 secondary was in partner-down, no expiry event would actually
4151 happen, so the lease would remain active until the primary was
4152 restarted.
4153
4154 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 10
4155
4156- Fix a bug that was preventing released leases from changing state
4157 in failover-enabled pools.
4158
4159- Fix a core dump in the client identifier finder code (for host
4160 declarations).
4161
4162- Finish fixing a bug where bogus data would sometimes get logged to
4163 the dhclient.leases file because it was opened as descriptor 2.
4164
4165- Fix the Linux dhclient-script according to suggestions made by
4166 several people on the dhcp-client mailing list.
4167
4168- Log successful DNS updates at LOG_INFO, not LOG_ERROR.
4169
4170- Print an error message and refuse to run if a failover peer is
4171 defined but not referenced by any pools.

4190 This was introduced in rc8pl1 as an unintended result of the memory
4191 leakage fixes that were in pl1.
4192
4193- Fix a long-standing bug where the server would record that an update
4194 had been done for a client with no name, even though no update had
4195 been done, and then when the client's lease expired the deletion of
4196 that nonexistant record would time out because the name was the null
9a111ee8 4197 string.

4204 one-lease-per-client was enabled.
4205
4206- Fix a bug that was causing core dumps on BSD/os in the presence of
4207 malformed packets.
4208
4209- In partner-down state, don't restrict lease lengths to MCLT.
4210
4211- On the failover secondary, record the MCLT received from the primary
4212 so that if we come up without a connection to the primary we don't
4213 wind up giving out zero-length leases.
4214
4215- Fix some compilation problems on BSD/os.

4218
4219- Fix a couple of bugs in the option printer.
4220
4221- Fix an obscure error reporting bug in the dns update code, and also
4222 make the message clearer when a key algorithm isn't supported.
4223
4224- Fix a bug in the tracing code that prevented trace runs that used
4225 tcp connections from being played back.

4228 on exit.
4229
4230- Make the client release the lease correctly on shutdown.
4231

4233
4234- Install omshell manual page in man1, not man8.
4235

4237 DHCP client that could cause core dumps, but that for some reason
4238 hadn't been noticed until now.
4239
4240 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 7
4241
4242- Fix a bug in failover where we weren't sending updates after a
4243 transition from communications-interrupted to normal.
4244
4245- Handle expired/released/reset -> free transition according to the
4246 protocol specification (this works - the other way not only wasn't
4247 conformant, but also didn't work).
4248
4249- Add a control object in both client and server that allows either
4250 daemon to be shut down cleanly.
4251
4252- When writing a lease, if we run out of disk space, shut down the
4253 output file and insist on writing a new one before proceeding.
4254
4255- In the server, if the OMAPI listener port is occupied, keep trying
4256 to get it, rather than simply giving up and exiting.
4257
4258- Support fetching variables from leases and also updating and adding
4259 variables to leases via OMAPI.
4260
4261- If two failover peers have wildly different clocks, refuse to start
4262 doing failover.
4263
4264- Fix a bug in the DNS update code that could cause core dumps when
4265 running on alpha processors.

4271
4272- Install omshell (including new documentation).
4273
4274- Support DNS updates in the client (this is a very obscure feature
4275 that most DHCP client users probably will not be able to use).
4276
4277- Somewhat cleaner status logging in the client.
4278
4279- Make OMAPI key naming syntax compatible with the way keys are
4280 actually named (key names are domain names).
4281
4282- Fix a bug in the lease file writer.
4283
4284- Install DHCP ISC headers in a different place than BIND 9 ISC
4285 headers, to avoid causing trouble in BIND 9 builds.
4286
4287- Don't send updates for attributes on an object when the attributes
4288 haven't changed. Support deleting attributes on remote objects.
4289
4290- Fix a number of bugs in omshell, and add the unset and refresh
4291 statements.
4292
4293- Handle disconnects in OMAPI a little bit more intelligently (so that
4294 the caller gets ECONNRESET instead of EINVAL).
4295

4297 leases when the try to renew their leases while failover is
4298 operating.

4342 leases would never be reclaimed because they couldn't make the
4343 transition from EXPIRED to FREE.

4350 stashing code that was preventing REBINDING clients from rebinding.

4353 processing if the lease belongs to the other server.

4395
4396- Change the conditions under which a DHCPRELEASE is actually
4397 committed to be consistent with lease binding states rather than
98311e4b 4398 using the lease end time. This may fix some problems with the
892fe689
TL
4399 billing class code.
4400
4401- Fix a bug where lease updates would fail on Digital Unix (and maybe
4402 others) because malloc was called with a size of zero.
4403
4404- Fix a core dump that happens when the DHCP server can't create its
4405 trace file.

87784777 4408
79ea3de8
TL
4409- Fix the dhcp_failover_put_message to not attempt to allocate a
4410 zero-length buffer. Some versions of malloc() fail if you try to
4411 allocate a zero-length buffer, and this was causing problems on,
4412 e.g., Digital Unix.
4413
4414- Fix a case where the failover code was printing an error message
4415 when no error had occurred.
4416
4417- Fix a problem where when a server went down and back up again, the
4418 peer would not see a state transition and so would stay in the
4419 non-communicating state.
4420
4421- Be smart about going into recover_wait.
4422
4423- Fix a problem in the failover implementation where peers would fail
4424 to come into sync if interrupted in the RECOVER state. This could
4425 have been the cause of some problems people have reported recently.
4426
4427- Fix a problem with billing classes where they would not be unbilled
4428 when the client lease expired.
4429
4430- If select fails, figure out which descriptor is bad, and cut it out
4431 of the I/O loop. This prevents a potentially nasty spin. I
4432 haven't heard any report it in a while, but it came up consistently
4433 in testing.
4434
4435- Fix a bug in the relay agent where if you specified interfaces on
4436 the command line, it would fail.
4437
4438- Fix a couple of small bugs in the omapi connection object (no known
4439 user impact).
4440
4441- Add the missing 3.0 Beta 1 lease conversion script.
4442
4443- Read dhcp client script hooks if they exist, rather than only if
4444 they're executable.

4459 a new release candidate is expected shortly.

4486 checked. This may have been causing core dumps.
4487
4488- When parsing the lease file, if a lease declaration includes a
4489 billing class statement, and the lease already has a billing class,
4490 unbill the old class.
4491
4492- When processing failover transactions, where acks will be deferred,
4493 process the state transition immediately.
4494
4495- Don't try to use the new SIOCGIFCONF buffer size detection code on
4496 Linux 2.0, which doesn't provide this functionality.
4497
4498- Apply a patch suggested by Tuan Uong for a problem in dlpi.c.
4499
4500- Fix a problem in using the which command in the configure script.
4501
4502- Fix a parse error in the client when setting up an omapi listener.
4503
4504- Document the -n and -g flags to the client.
4505
4506- Make sure there is always a stdin and stdout on startup. This
4507 prevents shell scripts from accidentally writing error messages into
4508 configuration files that happen to be opened as stderr.
4509
4510- If an interface is removed, the client will now notice that it is
4511 gone rather than spinning. This has only been tested on NetBSD.
4512
4513- The client will attempt to get an address even if it can't create a
4514 lease file.
4515
4516- Don't overwrite tracefiles.

4561- Implement omshell, which can be used to do arbitrary things to the
4562 server (in theory). (Damien Neil)
4563
4564- Fix a case where if a client had two different leases the server could
4565 actually dereference the second one when it hadn't been referenced,
4566 leading to memory corruption and a core dump. (James Brister)
4567
4568- Fix a case where a client could request the address of another client's
4569 lease, but find_lease wouldn't detect that the other client had it, and
4570 would attempt to allocate it to the client, resulting in a lease conflict
4571 message.
4572
4573- Fix a case where a client with more than one client identifier could be
4574 given a lease where the hardware address was correct but the client
4575 identifier was not, resulting in a lease conflict message.
4576
98311e4b 4577- Fix a problem where the server could write out a colon-separated
3350f5b7
TL
4578 hex list as a value for a variable, which would then not parse.
4579 The fix is to always write strings as quoted strings, with any
4580 non-printable characters quoted as octal escape sequences. So
4581 a file written the old way still won't work, but new files written
4582 this way will work.

4584- Fix documentation for sending non-standard options.

4587 break any configuration files that use the option-nnn convention.
4588 If you want to continue to use this convention for some options,
4589 please be sure to write a definition, like this:
4590
4591 option option-nnn code nnn = string;
4592
4593 You can use a descriptive name instead of option-nnn if you like.
4594
4595- Fix a problem where we would see a DHCPDISCOVER/DHCPOFFER/
4596 DHCPREQUEST/DHCPACK/DHCPREQUEST/DHCPNAK sequence. This was the
4597 result of a deceptively silly bug in supersede_lease.
4598

4612- Add support for transaction tracing. This allows the state of the
4613 DHCP server on startup, and all the subsequent transactions, to be
4614 recorded in a file which can then be played back to reproduce the
4615 behaviour of the DHCP server. This can be used to quickly
4616 reproduce bugs that cause core dumps or corruption, and also for
4617 tracking down memory leaks.
4618
4619- Incorporate some bug fixes provided by Joost Mulders for the DLPI
4620 package which should clear up problems people have been seeing on
4621 Solaris.
4622
4623- Fix bugs in the handling of options stored as linked lists (agent
4624 options, fqdn options and nwip options) that could cause memory
4625 corruption and core dumps.

4628 not being send in some cases when they were needed.

4674 was causing core dumps and failing to operate correctly - in
4675 particular, agent option stashing wasn't working. Agent option
4676 stashing should now be working, meaning that agent options can be
4677 used in class statements to control address allocation.

4701- Work around the Win98 DHCP client, which NUL-terminates the FQDN
4702 option.
4703
4704- Work around Win98 and Win2k clients that will claim they want to do
4705 the update even when they don't have any way to do it.
4706
4707- Fix some log messages that can be printed when failover is operating
4708 that were not printing enough information.
4709
4710- It was possible for a DHCPDISCOVER to get an allocation even when
4711 the state machine said the server shouldn't be responding.
4712
4713- Don't load balance DHCPREQUESTs from clients in RENEWING and
4714 REBINDING, since in RENEWING, if we heard it, it's for us, and in
4715 REBINDING, the client wouldn't have got to REBINDING if its primary
4716 were answering.
4717
4718- When we get a bogus state lease binding state transition, don't do
4719 the transition.

4727
4728- Albert Herranz tracked down and fixed a subtle bug in the base64
4729 decoder that would prevent any key with an 'x' in its base64
4730 representation from working correctly.
4731
4732- Thanks to Chris Cheney and Michael Sanders, we have a fix for the
4733 hang that they both spotted in the DHCP server - when
4734 one-lease-per-client was set, the code to release the "other" lease
4735 could spin.
4736
4737- Fix a problem with alignment of the input buffer in bpf in cases
4738 where two packets arrive in the same bpf read.
4739
4740- Fix a problem where the relay agent would crash if you specified an
4741 interface name on the command line.
4742
4743- Add the ability to conditionalize client behaviour based on the
4744 client state.
4745
4746- Add support for the FQDN option, and added support for a new way of
4747 doing ddns updates (ddns update style interim) that allows more than
4748 one DHCP server to update the DNS for the same network(s). This
4749 was implemented by Damien Neil with some additional functionality
4750 added by Ted Lemon.
4751
4752- Damien added a "log" statement, so that the configuration file can
4753 be made to log debugging information and other information.
4754
4755- Fixed a bug that caused option buffers not to be terminated with an
4756 end option.
4757
4758- Fixed a long-standing bug in the support for option spaces where the
4759 options are stored as an ordered list rather than in a hash table,
4760 which could theoretically result in memory pool corruption.
4761
4762- Prevent hardware declarations with no actual hardware address from
4763 being written as something unparsable, and behave correctly in the
4764 face of a null hardware address on input.
4765
4766- Allow key names to be FQDNs, and qualify the algorithm name if it is
4767 specified unqualified.
4768
4769- Modify the DDNS update code so that it never prints the "resolver
4770 failed" message, but instead says *why* the resolver failed.
4771
4772- Officially support the subnet selection option, which now has an
4773 RFC.
4774
4775- Fix a build bug on MacOS X.
4776
4777- Allow administrator to disable ping checking.
4778
4779- Clean up dhcpd.conf documentation and add more information about how
4780 it works.

4789- Fix DHCP client handling of vendor encapsulated options.
4790
4791- Fix a bug in the handling of relay agent information options introduced
4792 in patchlevel 9.
4793
4794- Stash agent options on client leases by default, and use the stashed
4795 options at renewal time.
4796
4797- Add the ability to test the client's binding state in the client
4798 configuration language.
4799
4800- Fix a core dump in the DNS update code.
4801
4802- Fix some expression evaluation bugs that were causing updates to be
4803 done when no client hostname was received.
4804
4805- Fix expression evaluation debugging printfs.
4806
4807- Teach pretty_print_option to print options in option spaces other than
4808 the DHCP option space.
4809
4810- Add a warning message if the RHS of a not is not boolean.
4811
4812- Never select for more than a day, because some implementations of
4813 select will just fail if the timeout is too long (!).
4814
4815- Fix a case where a DHCPDISCOVER from an unknown network would be
4816 silently dropped.
4817
4818- Fix a bug where if a client requested an IP address for which a different
4819 client had the lease, the DHCP server would reallocate it anyway.
4820
4821- Fix the DNS update code so that if the client changes its name, the DNS
4822 will be correctly updated.

TL
4835- Fix a possible DoS attack where a client could cause the checksummer
4836 to dump core. This was a read, not a write, so it shouldn't be
4837 possible to exploit it any further than that.
4838
4839- Implement client- and server-side support for using the Client FQDN
4840 option.
4841
4842- Support for other option spaces in the client has been added. This
4843 means that it is now possible to define a vendor option space on the
4844 client, request options in that space from the server (which must
4845 define the same option space), and then use those options in the
4846 client. This also allows NWIP and Client FQDN options to be used
4847 meaningfully.
4848
4849- Add object initializer support. This means that objects can now be
4850 initialized to something other than all-zeros when allocated, which
4851 makes, e.g., the interface object support code a little more robust.
4852
4853- Fix an off-by-one bug in the host stuffer. This was causing host
4854 deletes not the work, and may also have been causing OMAPI
4855 connections to get dropped. Thanks to James Brister for tracking
4856 this one down!
4857
4858- Fixed a core dump in the interface discovery code that is triggered
4859 when there is no subnet declaration for an interface, but the server
4860 decides to continue running. Thanks to Shane Kerr for tracking
4861 down and fixing this problem.

4869 environment.

4876 connection code.
4877
4878- Fix a potential memory smash in dhcpctl code.
4879
4880- Fix SunOS4 and (maybe) Ultrix builds.
4881
4882- Fix a bug where a certain sort of incoming packet could cause a core
4883 dump on Solaris (and probably elsewhere).
4884
4885- Add some more safety checks in error logging code.
4886
4887- Add support for ISC_R_INCOMPLETE in OMAPI protocol connection code.
4888
4889- Fix relay agent so that if an interface is specified on the command
4890 line, the relay agent does not dump core.
4891
4892- Fix class matching so that match if can be combined with match or
4893 spawn with.
4894
4895- Do not allow spurious leases in the lease database to introduce
4896 potentially bogus leases into the in-memory database.
4897
4898- Fix a byte-order problem in the client hardware address type code
4899 for OMAPI.
4900
4901- Be slightly less picky about what sort of hardware addresses OMAPI
4902 can install in host declarations.

4906- Incorporated Peter Marschall's proposed change to array/record
4907 parsing, which allows things like the slp-agent option to be encoded
4908 correctly. Thanks very much to Peter for taking the initiative to
4909 do this, and for doing such a careful job of it (e.g., updating the
4910 comments)!

4918 Jumelle where when the network connection between two servers is
4919 lost, they never reconnect.
4920
4921- Fix client script files other than that for NetBSD to actually use
4922 make_resolv_conf as documented in the manual page.
4923
4924- Fix a bug in the packet handling code that could result in a core
4925 dump.
4926
4927- Fix a bug in the bootp code where responses on the local net would
4928 be sent to the wrong MAC address. Thanks to Jerry Schave for
4929 catching this one.

4931 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 3
4932
4933- In the DHCP client, execute client statements prior to using the values
45d545f0 4934 of options, so that the client configuration can overridden, e.g., the
490eb5e7
TL
4935 lease renewal time.
4936
4937- Fix a reference counting error that would result in very reproducible
4938 failures in updates, as well as occasional core dumps, if a zone was
4939 declared without a key.
4940
4941- Fix some Linux 2.0 compilation problems.
4942
4943- Fix a bug in scope evaluation during execution of "on" statements that
4944 caused values not to be recorded on leases.
4945
4946- If the dhcp-max-message-size option is specified in scope, and the
4947 client didn't send this option, use the one specified in scope to
4948 determine the maximum size of the response.

4966 allocate a larger buffer, and retry. Thanks to Greg Fausak for
4967 pointing this out.
4968
4969- In the server, if no interfaces were configured, report an error and
4970 exit.
4971
4972- Don't ever record a state of 'startup'.
4973
4974- Don't try to evaluate the local failover binding address if none was
4975 specified. Thanks to Joseph Breu for finding this.
