5ddbe8e4 7 NEW FEATURES
16449d9c 8
5ade3c84 9The major "theme" for ISC DHCP 4.3.x was to update the support for
324257e3
SR
10DHCPv6 to include several of the features that have been available
11for DHCPv4. These include:
37ec5845 12
324257e3
SR
13- Support the use of classes
14
15- Support for on_commit, on_expiry and on_release statements
16
4809ef5c 17- Better logging of address assignments
324257e3
SR
18
19- Support for using DHCPv6 relay options in expressions
20
21This release also adds suppport for the standard DDNS as described in the
22current RFCs as well as enhancing support for dynamically adding and removing
23subclasses via OMAPI.

25There are a number of DHCPv6 limitations and features missing in this
26release, which will be addressed in the future:
98bd7ca0 27
01a54c17 28- Only Solaris, Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD are supported.
3a16098f 29
adbef119
DH
30- DHCPv6 includes human-readable text in status code messages, in
31 English. A method to reconfigure or support other languages would
80778e94 32 be preferable.
98bd7ca0
DH
33
34- The "host-identifier" option is limited to a simple token.
35
98bd7ca0 36- The client and server can only operate DHCPv4 or DHCPv6 at a time,
45d545f0 37 not both. To use both protocols simultaneously, two instances of the
6de1f33e 38 relevant daemon are required, one with the '-6' command line option.

55 Changes since 4.3.3
56
555093da
TM
57- Corrected a static analyzer warning in common/execute.c
58 [ISC-Bugs #40374]
e82906fc 59
555093da
TM
60- ISC DHCP now follows the common convention to use the base name a
61 program is invoked with (aka argv[0], vs. a builtin name) for
62 logs. This should help differentiate syslog entires for DHCPv4 and
63 DHCPv6 servers. You can define OLD_LOG_NAME in includes/site.h to
64 keep the previous behavior.
65 [ISC-Bugs #38692]
20931f53 66
555093da
TM
67- The linux packet filter code now correctly treats only least significant
68 12 bits an inbound packet's TCI value as the VLAN id (per IEEE 802.1Q).
69 Prior to this it was using the entire 16 bit value as the VLAN id and
70 incorrectly discarding packets. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for
71 reporting this issue and supplying its patch.
72 [ISC-Bugs #40591]
5cc6f201 73
e8e6768a
TM
74- Fixed several issues static analysis issues such as potential null
75 references, unchecked strdup returns. Thanks to Bill Parker (wp02855 at
76 gmail dot com) who identified these issues and supplied patches to
77 address them.
88c3ff5d 78 [ISC-Bugs #40754]
e8e6768a 79 [ISC-Bugs #40823]
88c3ff5d 80
555093da
TM
81- Corrected compilation errors that prohibited building the server
82 and its ATF unit tests when failover is disabled.
83 [ISC-Bugs #40372]
f10cbbfa 84
555093da
TM
85- Added the lease address to the end of the debug level log message
86 emitted when an existing lease is renewed within the dhcp-cache-threshold.
87 Thanks to Nathan Neulinger at Missouri S&T for suggesting the change.
88 [ISC-Bugs #40598]
5fc79cfd 89
555093da
TM
90- Added dhcpv6 and delayed-ack to settings listed in the "Features:"
91 section of the configure script output. Additionally, all of the
92 features reported on will now always show either a "yes" or "no"
93 value. Prior to this features left to their default setting would
94 not show a value.
95 [ISC-Bugs #40381]
96
97- Added a parameter, authoring-byte-order, to the lease file. This value
98 is automatically added to the top of new lease files by the server and
99 indicates the internal byte order (big endian or little endian) of the
100 server. This permits lease files generated on a server with one form of
101 byte order to be used on a server with the opposite form. Our thanks to
102 Timothe Litt for calling this to our attention and for the suggestions
103 he provided.
104 [ISC-Bugs #38396]
646acb59 105
d1d1da8f 106- Fixed a small memory leak in the DHCPv6 version of the client code.
18ba0ff3
SR
107 This is unlikely to cause significant issues in actual use.
108 [ISC-Bugs #40990]
109
ce29e695
TM
110- Corrected a few minor memory leaks in omapi's dereferencing of
111 host objects. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for reporting
112 the issue and supplying the patches.
113 [ISC-Bugs #33990]
75ab52e1 114 [ISC-Bugs #41325]
ce29e695 115
d1d1da8f
FD
116- Cleaned up some of the Make infrastructure to make --with-libbind
117 work better. Though it still only works with an absolute path.
118 [ISC-Bugs #39210]
119
120- Made the embedded bind libraries able to be cross compiled
121 (please refer to the bind9 documentation to learn how to cross
122 compile DHCP and its bind library dependency).
123 [ISC-Bugs #38836]
124
c88dfebd
SR
125- Update the client code to better support getting IA_NAs and IA_PDs
126 in the same packet, see RFC7550 for some discussion.
127 [ISC-Bugs #40190]
128
08ad1e3c 129! Update the bounds checking when receiving a packet.
4ce21cb6
SR
130 Thanks to Sebastian Poehn from Sophos for the bug report and a suggested
131 patch.
132 [ISC-Bugs #41267]
825c459c 133 CVE: CVE-2015-8605
4ce21cb6 134
b2cb745b
SR
135- When handling an incorrect command line for dhcpd, dhclient or dhcrelay
136 print out a specific error message about the first error in addition
137 to the usage string. This may be disabled by editing includes/site.h.
138 [ISC-Bugs #40321]
eda1d0aa 139 [ISC-Bugs #41454]
b2cb745b 140
cacce092
TM
141- The configure script will now exit with an error message if it cannot find
142 a GNU-style make tool (needed when building BIND libraries) or pkg-config
143 (needed to locate ATF used for building unit tests). Prior to this the
144 script would exit indicating success causing subsequent attempts to build
145 the software to fail.
146 [ISC-Bugs #40371]
147
4ced250f
SR
148- Properly terminate strings before passing them to regex and fix
149 a boudnary error when creating certain new data strings.
150 Thanks to Andrey Jr. Melnikov for the bug report.
151 [ISC-Bugs #41217]
152
a3471269
TM
153- Option expressions, such as prepend and append, are now supported when
154 running dhclient for IPv6. Prior to this such statements in the
155 client configuration file would be parsed but have no affect. Thanks
156 to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for reporting the issue.
157 [ISC-Bugs #39952]
158
3e3b5257
TM
159- A failover primary server will now accept a binding status update from the
160 secondary which transitions a lease from ACTIVE to ABANDONED. This accounts
161 for instances in which a client declines a lease and only the secondary
162 server receives it. Prior to this the primary server would reject such an
163 update as an "invalid state transition".
fd1ba363 164 [ISC_BUGS #25189]
3e3b5257 165
ba4c704d
SR
166- Properly allocate memory for a bpf filter.
167 Thanks to Bill Parker (wp02855 at gmail dot com) who identified this issue.
168 [ISC-Bugs #41485]
169
b1eea858
SR
170- Updated contrib/dhcp-lease-list.pl to handle garbage in the oui file better
171 and to print out the hostnames a bit better.
0958dea4 172 Thanks to Antoine Beaupré from Debian for the suggested patch.
b1eea858
SR
173 [ISC-Bugs #41288]
174
36c4a037
SR
175- The DHCPv6 server now handles long valid and preferred lease times better.
176 Values that would cause the internal end time of the lease to wrap are
177 modified to work as infinite.
178 [ISC-Bugs #40773]
179
41b5a1a6
FD
180- Updated support for cross compiling by allowing the library archiver
181 to be set at configure time via the environment variable 'AR'.
182 [ISC-Bugs #41536]
183
62a9eb91
TM
184- The server will now match DHCPv6 relayed clients to host declarations
185 which include the "hardware" statement, if the relay connected to the
186 client supplies the client's hardware address via client-linklayer-address
187 option as per RFC 6939.
188 [ISC-Bugs #40334]
189
b7311aae
FD
190- Allow a filename to be specified instead of /dev/random during
191 configuration. This is passed to the BIND configuration to allow
192 for cross compilation.
193 [ISC-Bugs #33835]
194
1bfdeaae
SR
195- Add more option definitions.
196 [ISC-Bugs #40562]
197
1d3fc4d0
SR
198- Correct outputting of long lines in the lease file when writing
199 a lease that includes long strings in an execute statement.
200 [ISC-Bugs #40994]
201
68b5d395
TM
202- The server will now correctly treat a lease as reserved when the client
203 requests an infinite lease time (i.e. OxFFFFFFFF) and "infinite-is-reserved"
204 is enabled. Prior to this the server would halt. In addition, corrections
205 were made to the server to allow a lease's flags field to be set via omapi.
206 Prior to this, the server, depending on the host architecture, would
207 incorrectly parse the new flags value from the omapi message.
208 [ISC-Bugs #31179]
209
f704712e
FD
210- ISC DHCP can now be configured and built from a directory other than
211 the top level source directory. Note that "make distcheck" uses this
212 feature.
213 [ISC-Bugs #39262]
214
6e7e6637 215- Add support for RFC 3527 to dhcrelay. A new, dhcrelay command line argument,
dce576b8 216 "-u <interface>" enables the addition of a RFC 3527 compliant link selection
6e7e6637
TM
217 suboption to the agent option added for clients directly connected to the
218 relay.
219 [ISC-Bugs #34875]
cbef159e 220 [ISC-Bugs #41708]
6e7e6637 221
dce576b8
TM
222- Add a new global DHCPv6 option, dhcpv6-set-tee-times, which when enabled
223 instructs the server to calculate T1 and T2 as recommended in RFC 3315,
224 Section 22.4.
225 [ISC-Bugs #25687]
226
45086eef
TM
227- Corrected minor Coverity issues.
228 [ISC-Bugs #35144]

TM
232- None
233
b31fe1d5
TM
234 Changes since 4.3.2
235
bc549dd9
SR
236- The server now does a better check to see if it can allocate the memory
237 for large blocks of v4 leases and should provide a slightly better error
238 message. Note well: the server pre-allocates v4 addresses, if you use
239 a large range, such as a /8, the server will attempt to use a large
240 amount of memory and may not start if there either isn't enough memory
241 or the size exceeds what the code supports.
242 [ISC-Bugs #38637]
243
b31fe1d5
TM
244- The server will now reject unicast Request, Renew, Decline, and Release
245 messages from a client unless the server would have sent that client the
246 dhcp6.unicast option. This behavior is in compliance with paragraph 1 in
247 each of the sections 18.2,1, 18.2.3, 18.2.6, and 18.2.7 of RFC 3315. Prior
248 to this, the server would simply accept the messages. Now, in order for
249 the server to accept such a message, the server configuration must include
250 the dhcp6.unicast option either globally or within the shared network to
251 which the requested lease belongs. In other words, the server will map
252 the first IA_XX address found within the client message to a shared-network
253 and look for the presence of the unicast option there and then globally.
ba21bb1b
TM
254 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for this issue and his patch which
255 inspired the fix.
b31fe1d5 256 [ISC-Bugs #21235]
c2419dca 257
20c0fdc7
SR
258- The ATF (Automated Testing Framework) tools used for optional unit tests
259 can now be built from its embedded sources in bind, solving the
260 atf-run / atf-report issue with recent (>= 0.20) versions of ATF.
261 The new configuration option is "./configure --with-atf=bind".
1b245c91 262 [ISC-Bugs #38754, #39300]
20c0fdc7 263
1c0b7d66
SR
264- Corrected a compilation error introduced by the fix for ISC-Bugs #22806.
265 On older linuxes that do not include the tpacket_auxdata structure don't
266 bother allocating the cmsgbuf as it isn't necessary and we don't have
267 a proper length for it.
268 [ISC-Bugs #39209]
269
da88d34b
SR
270- Remove the dst directory. This was replaced in 4.2.0 with the dst
271 code from the Bind libraries but we continued to include it for
272 backwards compatibility. As we have now released 4.3.x it seems
273 reasonable to remove it.
274 [ISC-Buts #39019]
275
90a062fb 276- Write out the DUID server id on startup in all cases, previously if it
cacce092 277 was read in from server-duid option in the config or lease files for
90a062fb
SR
278 DHCPv4 it would not be written to the new lease file.
279 [ISC-Bugs #37791]
280
90fdd337
SR
281- When parsing dates for leases convert dates past 2038 to "never".
282 This avoids problems with integer overflows in the date and time
283 handling code for people that decide to use very large lease times
284 or add a lease entry with a date far in the future.
285 [ISC-Bugs #33056]
286
70689a73
SR
287- Leave the siaddr field clear when sending a NACK as per RFC 2131
288 table 3.
289 [ISC-Bugs #38769]
290
30dcfbf6
SR
291- In the client don't send expired addresses to the script as part of
292 the binding process. Thanks to Sven Trenkel at Google for reporting
293 the issue and suggesting the patch.
294 [ISC-Bugs #38631]
295
4136513e
SR
296- While parsing IPv6 addresses treat "add" as part of the address instead
297 of as a token.
298 [ISC-Bugs #39529]
299
3933e2aa
SR
300- Add support for accessing the v4 lease queues (active, free etc) in a
301 binary fashion instead of needing to walk through a linear list to
302 insert, find or remove an entry from the queues. In addition add a
303 compile time option "--enable-binary-leases" to enable the new code
304 or to continue using the old code. The old code is the default.
305 Thanks to Fernando Soto from BlueCat Networks for the patch.
306 [ISC-Bugs #39078]
307
cca6a648 308- Delayed-ack now works properly with Failover. Prior to this, bind updates
309 post startup were being queued but never delivered. Among other things, this
310 was causing leases to not transition from expired or released to free.
311 [ISC-Bugs #31474]
312
46d31b51
SR
313- Clean up parsing of v6 lease files a bit to avoid infinite loops if the
314 lease file is corrupt in certain ways.
315 [ISC-Bugs #39760]
316
cca6a648 317- Corrected a crash in dhclient that occurs during lease renewal if the
68b3e7f2
TM
318 client is performing its own DNS updates. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat
319 for the bug report.
cca6a648 320 [ISC-Bugs #38639]
321
ff1b3d04
TM
322- Corrected an issue in v6 lease file parsing. Prior to this, when encountering
323 a lease with an address for which no configured pool exists, the server was
324 declaring the lease file corrupt and incorrectly skipping over the subsequent
325 entry in the file. The server will now emit a log message indicating that
326 no pool was found for the address (or prefix) and correctly resume parsing
cacce092 327 with the next entry in the lease file. Our thanks to Michal Žejdl for
673137b1 328 reporting the issue.
ff1b3d04
TM
329 [ISC-Bugs #39314]
330
34711bb7
SR
331- Be more liberal in finding a subnet group associated with a static
332 prefix. When we added the class matching code for v6 we also added
333 a requirement that the static prefix must be within a subnet the
334 client was in, in order to find the proper statements. We now
335 look for a subnet based on the prefix, failing that on the static
336 address for the client and failing that on the shared network
337 itself.
338 [ISC-Bugs #38329]
339
45c332f0
SR
340- Add a new action expression "parse_vendor_options", which can be used
341 to parse a vendor-encapsualted-option received by the server based on
342 the encoding specified by the vendor-option-space statement.
343 [ISC-Bugs #36449]
344
7a6c9368
SR
345- Enhance the PARANOIA patch to include fchown() the lease file to
346 allow it to be manipulated after the server does a chown().
347 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the patch.
348 [ISC-Bugs #36978]
349
7ef55702
SR
350- Relax the requirement that prefix pools must be within the subnet.
351 This was added in as part of #32453 in order to avoid configuration
352 mistakes but is being removed as prefixes aren't required to be
353 within the same subnet and many people configure them in that fashion.
354 [ISC-Bugs #40077]
355
6a39bcf0
TM
356- Fixed a server crash that could occur when the server attempts to remove
357 the billing class from the last lease billed to a dynamic class after said
6c8eb544
TM
358 class has been deleted. Our thanks to Lasse Pesonen for reporting the
359 issue.

362- LDAP Patches - Numerous small patches submitted by contributors have
363 been applied to the contributed code which supplies LDAP support.
af25ded3
SR
364 In addition, two larger submissions have also been included. The
365 first adds support for IPv6 configuration and the second provides

TM
397
398- Corrected a compilation error introduced by the fix for ISC-Bugs #37415.
399 The error occurs on Linux variants that do not support VLAN tag information
400 in packet auxiliary data. The configure script now only enables inclusion
401 of the VLAN tag-based logic if it is supported by the underlying OS.

45adf35c 406- Specifying the option, --disable-debug, on the configure script command line
4e1bf548 407 now disables debug features. Prior to this, specifying --disable-debug
112d76f6
TM
408 incorrectly enabled debug features. Thanks to Gustavo Zacarias for reporting
409 the issue.
4e1bf548 410 [ISC-Bugs #37780]
4d9b81fc 411
9a111ee8
TM
412- Unit test execution now uses a path augmented during configuration
413 processing of the --with-atf option to locate ATF runtime tools, atf-run
414 and atf-report. For most installations of ATF, this should alleviate the
415 need to manually include them in the PATH, as was formerly required.
416 If the configure script cannot locate the tools it will emit a warning,

418 tests.
419 Secondly, please note that "make check" will now exit with a failure status
420 code (non-zero) if one or more unit tests fail. This means that invoking
421 "make check" from an upper level directory will cause the make process to
422 STOP after the first test subdirectory with failed test(s). To force all
423 tests in all subdirectories to run, regardless of individual test outcome,
424 use the command "make -k check".

460- Remove unneeded error #defines. These defines were included in case
461 external programs required the older versions of the macro. They
462 have been #ifdeffed for now and will be removed at a future date.
463 See site.h for the #define to include them again, but you should

492- Added the echo-client-id configuration parameter to the server configuration.
493 The server now supports RFC 6842 compliant behavior by setting a new
494 configuration parameter, echo-client-id. When enabled, the server will
495 include the client identifier option (Option code 61) if received, in its
496 responses. The server identifier returned in NAKs (if enabled) will now
497 be the globally defined value (if one) if the server cannot attribute the
498 inbound request to a known subnet.

21d30347
SR
512- In the failover code, handle the case of communications being interrupted
513 when the servers are dealing with POTENTIAL-CONFLICT. This patch allows
514 the primary to accept the secondary moving from POTENTIAL-CONFLICT to
515 RESOLUTION-INTERRUPTED as well as handling the bind update process better.
516 In addition the code to resend update or update all requests has been
517 modified to send requests more often.

d9b2a590
TM
521- By default, the server will now choose the value to use in the forward DNS
522 name from the following in order of preference:
523
524 1. FQDN option if provided by the client
525 2. Host name option if provided by the client
526 3. Configured option host-name if defined
527
528 As before, this may be overridden by defining ddns-hostname to the desired
529 value (or expression). In addition, the server logic has been extended to
530 use the value of the host name declaration if use-host-decl-names is enabled
531 and no other value is available.

45adf35c 541 prepending or appending to the IPv4 domain-search option, received from the

542 server, when either of the values being combined contain compressed
543 components.
544 [ISC-Bugs #20558]
545
7116a34f
TM
546- Added the server-id-check parameter to the server configuration.
547 This parameter allows run-time control over whether or not a server,
548 participating in failover, verifies the dhcp-server-identifier option in
ebb1d91e 549 DHCP REQUESTs against the server's id before processing the request.
7116a34f
TM
550 Formerly, enabling this behavior was done at compilation time through
551 the use of the #define, SERVER_ID_CHECK, which has been removed from site.h
adb95d23 552 The functionality is now only available through the new runtime parameter.
7116a34f
TM
553 [ISC-Bugs #37551]
554
2775bd62
TM
555- During startup, when the server encounters a lease whose binding state is
556 FTS_BACKUP but whose pool has no configured failover peer, it will reset the
557 lease's binding state to FTS_FREE. This allows the leases to be reclaimed
558 by the server after a pool's configuration has changed from failover to
559 standalone. Prior to this such leases would remain stuck in the backup state
560 making them unavailable for assignment. Note this conversion will occur
561 whether or not the server is compiled for failover.

565 that could cause the response to an inform to include information from
566 the wrong scope. The two examples we've heard of are getting subnet
567 instead of group information associated with a host entry, or getting
568 global information instead of subnet if the host entry was built via

580 of a server which changes the current lease file confusing the first
581 instance. This check is only included if the admin hasn't disabled PID
582 files.

TM
591- Modified linux packet handling such that packets received via VLAN are now
592 seen only by the VLAN interface. Prior to this, such packets were seen by
593 both the VLAN interface and its parent (physical) interface, causing the
594 server to respond to both. Note this remains an issue for non-Linux OSs.

602 check for multiple IPv6 clients attempting to use the same DUID when only
603 abandoned addresses are available. Debug level logging will now emit counts
604 of the total number of, in-use, and abandoned addresses in a shared subnet
605 when the server finds no addresses available for a given DUID. Lastly,
606 threshold logging is now automatically disabled for shared subnets whose
607 total number of possible addresses exceeds (2^64)-1.

1a006ff6
TM
611- Added a global parameter, prefix-length-mode, which may be used to determine
612 how the server uses a non-zero value for prefix-length supplied by clients
613 when soliciting DHCPv6 prefixes. The server supports selection modes of:
614 ignore, prefer, exact, minimum and maximum which are described in detail in
615 the server man pages. The prior behavior of the server was to only offer a
616 prefix whose length exactly matched the prefix-length value requested. If
617 no such prefixes were available, the server returned a status of none
618 available. Note the default mode, "exact", provides this same behavior.

622- Corrected inconsistencies in dhcrelay's setting the upper interface hop count
623 limit such that it now sets it to 32 when the upstream address is a multicast
624 address per RFC 3315 Section 20. Prior to this if the -u argument preceded
625 the -l argument on the command line or if the same interface was specified
626 for both; the logic to set the hop limit count for the upper interface was
627 skipped. This caused the hop count limit to be set to the default value
628 (typically 1) in the outbound upstream packets.

SR
793
794- If a client renews before 'dhcp-cache-threshold' percent of its lease
795 has elapsed (default 25%), the server will reuse the allocated lease
796 (provide a lease within the currently allocated lease-time) rather
797 than extend or renew the lease. This absolves the server of needing
798 to perform an fsync() operation on the lease database before reply,
799 which improves performance. [ISC-Bugs #22228]
80778e94 800 Updated this patch to support asynchronous DDNS. If the server is
adb95d23 801 attempting to do DDNS on a lease it should be updated and written to

829 of DDNS entries between v4 and v6 clients. The new code is used
830 if the ddns-update-style is set to "standard", the older code is
831 still available if ddns-update-style is set to "interim". The
832 oldest DDNS code "ad-hoc" has been removed. Thanks to Thomas Pegeot
833 who submitted a patch for this issue. This patch is based on

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

SR
845- Add some logging statements to indicate when the server is ready
846 to serve. One statement is emitted after the server has finished
847 reading its files and is about to enter the dispatch loop.
848 This is "Server starting service.".
849 The second is emitted when a server determines that both it and
850 its failover peer are in the normal state.
851 This is "failover peer <name>: Both servers normal."

855 statement allows the administrator to choose which relay to
856 use when searching for an option, see the dhcp-options man page

e54ff84f 862- When doing DDNS if there isn't an appropriate zone statement attempt
80778e94 863 to find a reasonable nameserver via a DNS resolver. This restores
e54ff84f
SR
864 some functionality that was lost in the transition to asynchronous
865 DDNS. Due to the lack of security and increase in fragility of the
866 system when using this feature we strongly recommend the use of
867 appropriate zone statements rather than using this functionality.

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

873 one instance of their respective address types.

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

01a44a77
SR
910- An optimization described in the failover protocol draft is now included,
911 which permits a DHCP server operating in communications-interrupted state
912 to 'rewind' a lease to the state most recently transmitted to its peer,
913 greatly increasing a server's endurance in communications-interrupted.
914 This is supported using a new 'rewind state' record on the dhcpd.leases
915 entry for each lease.

01a44a77
SR
922- When constructing the DNS name structure from a text string append
923 the root to relative names. This satisfies a requirement in the DNS
924 library that names be absolute instead of relative and prevents DHCP

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

948 we would try and clean up before exiting. This could present problems

953- A bug was fixed that could cause the DHCPv6 server to advertise/assign a
954 previously allocated (active) lease to a client that has changed subnets,
955 despite being on different shared networks. Dynamic prefixes specifically
956 allocated in shared networks also now are not offered if the client has
957 moved. [ISC-Bugs #21152]

965 The user may still configure the ttl via ddns-ttl. The default for
966 both v4 and v6 is now 1/2 the (preferred) lease time with a limit. The
967 previous defaults (1/2 lease time without a limit for v4 and a default
968 value for v6) may be used by defining USE_OLD_DDNS_TTL in site.h

1189 microseconds if the DHCP server provided a lease-time that would result
1190 in sub-1-second timers. This corrects a bug where a 2-second or lower
1191 lease-time would cause the DHCP client to enter an infinite loop by
73c83820 1192 scheduling renewal at zero seconds. [ISC-Bugs #19660]

1198- To defend against RFC 2131 non-compliant DHCP servers which fail to
1199 advertise a lease-time (either mangled, or zero in value) the DHCP
1200 client now adds the server to the reject list ACL and returns to INIT

1436! Previously the server code was relaxed to allow packets with zero
1437 length client ids to be processed. Under some situations use of
1438 zero length client ids can cause the server to go into an infinite
1439 loop. As such ids are not valid according to RFC 2132 section 9.14
1440 the server no longer accepts them. Client ids with a length of 1
1441 are also invalid but the server still accepts them in order to
1442 minimize disruption. The restriction will likely be tightened in
1443 the future to disallow ids with a length of 1.

1606- Failover port configuration can now be left to defaults (port 647) as
1607 described in the -12 revision of the Failover draft (and assigned by
4b97eaff 1608 IANA). Thanks in part to a patch from David Cantrell at Red Hat.

DH
1619- A new failover configuration parameter has been introduced for those
1620 environments where DHCP servers can be reasonably guaranteed to be
1621 "down" when the failover TCP socket is severed, "auto-partner-down".
1622 This parameter is not generally safe, and by default is disabled, so
1623 please carefully review the documentation of this parameter in the
1624 dhcpd.conf(5) manpage before determining to use it yourself.
1625
33ea4622
DH
1626- Added a configuration function, 'gethostname()', which calls the system
1627 function of the same name and presents the results as a data expression.
1628 This function can be used to incorporate the system level hostname of
1629 the system the DHCP software is operating on in responses or queries (such
1630 as including a failover partner's hostname in a dhcp message or binding
1631 scope, or having a DHCP client send any system hostname in the host-name or
1632 FQDN options by default).

DH
1634- The dhcp-renewal-time and dhcp-rebinding-time options may now be configured
1635 for DHCPv4 operation and used independently of the dhcp-lease-time
1636 calculations. Invalid renew and rebinding times (e.g., greater than the
1637 determined lease time) are omitted.
1638
adb95d23 1639- Processing the DHCP to DNS server transactions in an asynchronous fashion,
45adf35c 1640 the DHCP server or client can now continue with its processing while
98bf1607 1641 awaiting replies from the DNS server.

1653- The notorious 'option <unknown> ... larger than buffer' log line,
1654 which is seen in some malformed DHCP client packets, was modified.
1655 It now logs the universe name, and does not log the length values
1656 (which are bogus corruption read from the packet anyway). It also
1657 carries a hopefully more useful explanation.

f9453d21
DH
1685- A bug in DLPI packet transmission (Solaris, HP/UX) that caused the server
1686 to stop receiving packets is fixed. The same fix also means that the MAC
1687 address will no longer appear 'bogus' on DLPI-based systems.
1688
1689- A bug in select handling was discovered where the results of one select()
1690 call were discarded, causing the server to process the next select() call
1691 and use more system calls than required. This has been repaired - the
1692 sockets will be handled after the first return from select(), resulting in
1693 fewer system calls.
1694
a3dcc0b1
DH
1695- The update-conflict-detection feature would leave an FQDN updated without
1696 a DHCID (still currently implemented as a TXT RR). This would cause later
1697 expiration or release events to fail to remove the domain name. The feature
1698 now also inserts the client's up to date DHCID record, so records may safely
1699 be removed at expiration or release time. Thanks to a patch submitted by
1700 Christof Chen.
1701
95fd7038
DH
1702- Memory leak in the load_balance_mine() function is fixed. This would
1703 leak ~20-30 octets per DHCPDISCOVER packet while failover was in use
1704 and in normal state.

1707 DEBUG #defines in includes/site.h.

PS
1709- Fixed Linux client script 'unary operator expected' errors with DHCPv6.

1718- Compilation on Solaris with USE_SOCKETS defined in includes/site.h has
1719 been repaired. Other USE_ overrides should work better.

1721- A check for the local flavor of IFNAMSIZ had a broken 'else' condition,
1722 that probably still resulted in the correct behaviour (but wouldn't use
1723 a larger defined value provided by the host OS).
1724
350576c5
DH
1725- Fixed a bug where an OMAPI socket disconnection message would not result
1726 in scheduling a failover reconnection, if the link had not negotiated a
1727 failover connect yet (e.g.: connection refused, asynch socket connect()
1728 timeouts).

DH
1733! A stack overflow vulnerability was fixed in dhclient that could allow
1734 remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands as root on the system,
1735 or simply terminate the client, by providing an over-long subnet-mask
1b12d999 1736 option. CERT VU#410676 - CVE-2009-0692

1742 supported. Note that, similarly to 3.0.x, for by-code lookups only the
1743 last option definition is used.

b8d45c67
DH
1752- Secondary servers in a failover pair will now perform ddns removals if
1753 they had performed ddns updates on a lease that is expiring, or was
1754 released through the primary. As part of the same fix, stale binding scopes
1755 will now be removed if a change in identity of a lease's active client is
1756 detected, rather than simply if a lease is noticed to have expired (which it
1757 may have expired without a failover server noticing in some situations).
1758
583c1c16
DH
1759- A patch supplied by David Cantrell at RedHat was applied that detects
1760 invalid calling parameters given to the ns_name_ntop() function.
1761 Specifically, it detects if the caller passed a pointer and size pair
1762 that causes the pointer to integer-wrap past zero.
1763
e4e3a2ab
DH
1764! Fixed a fenceposting bug when a client had two host records configured,
1765 one using 'uid' and the other using 'hardware ethernet'. CVE-2009-1892
95f5d38c 1766

1768 the existence of the linked signal handler before calling it.
1769
2267da84
DH
1770- Both host and subnet6 configuration groups are now included whether a
1771 fixed-address6 (DHCPv6) is in use or not. Host scoped configuration takes
1772 precedence. This fixes two bugs, one where host scoped configuration
1773 would not be included from a non-fixed-address6 host record, and the equal
1774 and opposite bug where subnet6 scoped configuration would not be used when
571c38b0 1775 over-riding values were not present in a matching fixed-address6 host
2267da84

1776 configuration.

1778- ./configure now checks to ensure the intX_t and u_intX_t types are defined,
1779 correcting a compilation failure when using Sun's compiler.
1780
0493fdca
SR
1781- Modified the handling of a connection to avoid releasing the omapi io
1782 object for the connection while it is still in use. One symptom from
1783 this error was a segfault when a failover secondary attempted to connect
1784 to the failover primary if their clocks were not synchronized.
1785
95bba8b6
SR
1786- Clean up to allow compilation with gcc 2.95.4 on FreeBSD. Remove an
1787 extra semi-colon from common/dns.c and moved setting a variable to NULL
1788 in server/dhcpv6.c to allow the compiler to decide that the variable
9a111ee8 1789 was always properly set.

1808 and not by failover binding updates (taking on the peer's CLTT).

1815- Delayed-ack is now a compile-time option, compiled out by default.
1816 This feature is simply too experimental for right now, and causes
1817 some problems to some failover installations. We will revisit this
1818 in future releases.
1819
f1672d89
DH
1820- The !inet_pton() call in res_mkupdrec was adjusted to '<= 0' as
1821 inet_pton returns either 1, 0, or -1.

1826- DDNS removal routines were updated so that the DHCID is not removed until
1827 the client has been deprived of all A and AAAA records (not only the last
1828 one of either of those). This resolves a bug where dual stack clients
1829 would not be able to regain their names after either expiration event.

7d6180be
DH
1895- A bug in subnet6 parsing where options contained in subnet6 clauses would
1896 not be applied to clients addressed within that network was repaired.
1897
1898- When configuring a "subnet {}" or "subnet6 {}" without an explicit
1899 shared-network enclosing it, the DHCP software would synthesize a
1900 shared-network to contain the subnet. However, all configuration
1901 parameters within the subnet more intuitively belong "to any client
1902 on that interface", or rather the synthesized shared-network. So,
1903 when a shared-network is synthesized, it is used to contain the
1904 configuration present inside the subnet {} clause. This means that
1905 the configuration will be valid for all clients on that network, not
1906 just those addressed out of the stated subnet. If you intended the
1907 opposite, the workaround is to explicitly configure an empty
1908 shared-network.
1909
1910- A bug was fixed where Information-Request processing was not sourcing
1911 configured option values.
1912
1913- A warning was added since the DHCPv6 processing software does not yet
1914 support class statements.

1973- Multiple (up to "delayed-ack x;" maximum) DHCPv4 packets are now queued and
1974 released in bursts after single fsync() events when the upper limit is
1975 reached or if the receiving sockets go dry. The practical upshot is
1976 that fsync-coupled server performance is now multiplicitively increased.
1977 The default delayed ack limit is 28. Thanks entirely to a patch from
1978 Christof Chen.
1979
1980 Changes since 4.0.0 (bug fixes)
1981
1982- DHCP now builds on AIX.
1983
1984- Exit with warning when DHCPv6-specific statements are used in the
1985 config file but -6 is not specified.
1986
1987- Fixed "--version" flag in dhcrelay
1988
1989- The 'min-secs' configuration parameter's log message has been updated to
1990 be more helpful.
1991
1992- The warning logged when an address range doesn't fit in the subnets
1993 they were declared has been updated to be more helpful and identify the
1994 typo in configuration that created the spanning addresses.
1995
1996- A bug in failover pool rebalancing that caused POOLREQ message ping-pongs
1997 was repaired.
1998
1999- A flaw in failover pool rebalancing that could cause POOLREQ messages to
2000 be sent outside of the min-balance/max-balance scheduled intervals has
2001 been repaired.
2002
2003- A cosmetic bug during potential-conflict recovery that caused the peer's
2004 'conflict-done' state message to be logged as 'unknown-state' has been
2005 repaired. It is now logged correctly.
2006
49f61135
DH
2007- A bug was fixed where the 'giaddr' may be used to find the client's subnet
2008 rather than its own 'ciaddr'.
2009
41d4652f
DH
2010- A log message was introduced to clarify the situation where a failover
2011 'address' parameter (the server's local address) did not resolve to an
2012 IPv4 address.
2013
2c9bf1f4
DH
2014- The minimum site code value was set to 224 in 3.1.0 to track RFC3942. This
2015 broke a lot of legacy site local configurations. The new code in place will
2016 track site local space minimum option codes and logs a warning to encourage
2017 updates and exploration of site local code migration problems. Option
2018 codes less than 128 in site local spaces remain inaccessible.
2019
2020- A possible relay agent option bug was repaired where random server
2021 initialization state may have been used to signal the relay agent
2022 information options sub-option code for the 'END' of the option space.
2023
cff9b78f
SK
2024- Fixes to allow code to compile and run on Solaris 9.
2025
c4d29896
SK
2026- Fixes to allow code to compile on Mac OS X Leopard (10.5).
2027
57fcb8d9
SK
2028- When server is configured with options that it overrides, a warning is
2029 issued when the configuration file is read, rather than at the time the
2030 option is overridden. This was important, because the warning was given
9a111ee8 2031 every time the option was overridden, which could create a lot of
57fcb8d9
SK
2032 unnecessary logging.
2033
219a65eb
DH
2034- Fixed a compilation problems on platforms that define a value for FDDI,
2035 which conflicts with a dhcp configuration syntax token by the same name.
2036
ffdf3c8c
DH
2037- When a failover server suspects it has encountered a peer running a
2038 version 3.0.x failover server, a warning that the failover wire protocol
2039 is incompatible is printed.
2040
2041- The failover server no longer issues a floating point error if it encounters
2042 a previously undefined option code.
2043
00a002fc
MA
2044- Fix startup error messages to report a missing "subnet6 declaration", rather
2045 than a missing "subnet declaration", when running as a DHCPv6 server.
2046
9a111ee8 2047- DHCPv6 client timestamp in DUID was based on the year 1970 rather
7e9f7a1b
FD
2048 than the year 2000.
2049
e2cfde76
FD
2050- Warn when attempting to use a hardware parameter in DHCPv6.
2051
cabdb9b1
FD
2052- DHCPv6 released resources are now marked as released by the client.

DH
2056 Changes since 4.0.0b3
2057
2058- The reverse dns name for PTR updates on IPv6 addresses has been fixed to
2059 use ip6.arpa. rather than default to in-addr.arpa and require user
2060 configuration.
76db44f9 2061
e32529a5
EH
2062- dhc6_lease_destroy() and dhc6_ia_destroy() now set lease and IA pointers
2063 to NULL after freeing, to prevent subsequent accesses to freed memory.
2064
9a111ee8 2065- The DHCPv6 server would not send the preference option unless the
76db44f9
SK
2066 client requested it, via the ORO. This has been fixed, so the DHCPv6
2067 server will always send the preference value if it is configured.
e4a6be15 2068
9a111ee8
TM
2069- When addresses were passed as hints to the server in an IA, they were
2070 incorrectly handled, sometimes being treated as an error. Now the
6f76de58
SK
2071 server will treat these as hints and ignore them if it cannot supply
2072 a requested address.
2073
703873ab
DH
2074- If the client had multiple addresses, and one expired (was not renewed
2075 by the server), the client would continue to attempt to renew the same
2076 old address over and over. Now, the client will omit any expired
2077 addresses from future Confirm, Renew, or Rebind messages.
2078
2079- dhclient -6 will now select renew/rebind timers based upon the longest
2080 address expiration time rather than the shortest expiration time, in
2081 order to avoid cascading renewals in the event a server elects not to
2082 extend one of multiple IAADDR leases.
2083
b024480e
DH
2084- The server now limits clients that request multiple addresses to one
2085 address per IA by default, which can be adjusted through the
2086 "limit-addrs-per-ia" configuration option.
2087
c0216cb7
DH
2088- The DHCPv6 client now issues fresh transaction IDs on Renew and Rebind
2089 message exchanges, rather than using the most recent ID.

2096- The parsing of some options in the dhclient lease file, in particular
2097 the success DHCPv6 status-code, was fixed.

2099- A bug was fixed that caused the DHCPv6 ORO option to be corrupted with
2100 seemingly random values.

f8b3c6f4
DH
2104- ./configure now autodetects local database locations rather than trying
2105 to put dhcpd.leases and dhclient.leases in /usr/local/var/db, which no
2106 one ever has.
2107
9a111ee8
TM
2108- Regression fix for bug where server advertised a IPv6 address in
2109 response to a SOLICIT but would not return the address in response
b9137d42
SK
2110 to a REQUEST.

2113 code in the IA_NA was fixed. The status code now appears in the root
2114 level.

2119
b1d3778c
DH
2120- Relative time may now be used as a qualifier for 'allow' and 'deny' access
2121 control lists. These directives may be used to assist in re-addressing
2122 address pools without having to constantly reconfigure the server. Please
2123 see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more information on allow/deny 'after time' syntax.
2124 Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen.
2125
bead14ea
DH
2126- The server will now include multiple IA_NA's and multiple IAADDRs within
2127 them, if advertised by the client. It still only seeks to allocate one
2128 new address.
2129
f765ec36
SK
2130 Changes since 4.0.0b1
2131
75135a3f 2132- Use different paths for PID and lease files when running in DHCPv4
adb95d23 2133 or DHCPv6 mode, so that servers for both protocols can be run
75135a3f
EH
2134 simultaneously on a single interface.
2135
5c2d55c7
EH
2136- Fixed a buffer overflow error which could have allowed a denial
2137 of service under unusual server configurations
2138
2139- Eliminated a spurious error message from the client
2140
9a111ee8 2141- A number of bugs with the internal handling of lease state on the
f765ec36 2142 server have been fixed. Some of these could cause server crashes.
fa9b593d 2143
edb1283e
DH
2144- The peer_wants_leases() changes pulled up from 3.1.0 were corrected,
2145 'never used' leases will no longer consistently shift between servers
2146 on every pool rebalance run.

c71c6399
DH
2148- sendmsg()/recvmsg() control buffers are now declared in such a way to
2149 ensure they are correctly aligned on all (esp. 64-bit) architectures.

2151- The client leasing subsystem was streamlined and corrected to account
2152 more closely for changes in client link attachment selection.

ab3a540f 2154 Changes since 4.0.0a3
763cba6b 2155
9a111ee8 2156- The DHCP server no longer requires a "ddns-update-style" statement,
884a458f
SK
2157 and now defaults to "none", which means DNS updates are disabled.
2158
fa9b593d
DH
2159- Log messages when failover peer names mismatch have been improved to
2160 point out the problem.
2161
9a111ee8 2162- Bug where server advertised a IPv6 address in response to a SOLICIT
1b5053b5
SK
2163 but would not return the address in response to a REQUEST. Thanks to
2164 Dennis Kou for finding the bug.
2165
c886c298

2167 reported independently by Jothilingam Vasu and Dennis Kou.
2168
eaf7eb17
DH
2169- Fixed a ./configure bug where compile tests were failing due to
2170 "-Werror" (unused variable) rather than the actual test failure. Lead
2171 to inconsistent and unworkable auto-configurations.
2172
109e00db
DH
2173- Compilation with DLPI and -Werror has been repaired.
2174
9a111ee8 2175- Error in decoding IA_NA option if multiple interfaces are present
3ad9d48f
SK
2176 fixed by Marcus Goller.
2177
8eab95f2
DH
2178- DHCPv6 server Confirm message processing has been enhanced - it no
2179 longer replies only to clients with host {} records, it now replies
2180 as directed in RFC3315 section 18.2.2 - that is, to all clients
2181 regardless of the existence of bindings.
2182
07b9a351
DH
2183- A core dump during expired lease cleanup has been repaired.
2184
7285af30
DH
2185- DDNS updates state information are now stored in 'binding scopes' that
2186 follow the leases through their lifecycles. This enables DDNS teardowns
2187 on leases that are assigned and expired inbetween a server restart (the
2188 state is recovered from dhcpd.leases). Arbitrary user-specified binding
2189 scopes ('set var = "value";') are not yet supported.

2206- DHCPv6 is now the default. You can disable DHCPv6 support using the
2207 "--disable-dhcpv6" flag when you run the configure script.

2209- An internal database inconsistency bug was repaired where the server
2210 would segfault if a client attempted to renew a lease that had been
2211 loaded from persistent storage.
2212
45d545f0 2213- 'request' and 'also request' syntaxes have been added to accommodate
0c20eab3
DH
2214 the DHCPv6 client configuration. 'send dhcp6.oro' is no longer
2215 necessary.
2216
9a111ee8
TM
2217- Bug fixed where configuration file parsing did not work with
2218 zero-length options; this made it impossible to set the
f800f4f6
SK
2219 rapid-commit option.

2274- Corrected some situations where variables might be used without being
2275 initialized.
2276
2277- Silenced several other compiler warnings.
2278
2279- Include the more standard sys/uio.h rather than rely upon other
f66f02cc
DH
2280 header files to include it (fixes a BSD 4.2 compile failure).
2281
2282- Duplicate dhclient-script updates for DHCPv6 to all provided scripts.
a512d11b 2283
4ba58919
DH
2284- DHCPv4 I/O methods that failed to sense hardware address were corrected.
2285
2286- DHCPv4 is now the default (as documented) rather than DHCPv6. The default
2287 was set to DHCPv6 to facilitate ease early development, and forgotten.
2288
2289- Corrected a segmentation violation in DHCPv4 socket processing.
2290
8ea19a71 2291- dhclient will now fork() into the background once it binds to an
45d545f0 2292 IPv6 address, or immediately if the -n flag is supplied.
8ea19a71
DH
2293
2294- -q is now the default behaviour on dhclient, with -d or -v enabling
2295 non-quiet (stderr logging) mode.
2296
2cf8d0bd

2301- Replaced ./configure shellscripting with GNU Autoconf.
2302
98bd7ca0
DH
2303 Changes since 3.1.0 (NEW FEATURES)
2304
2305- DHCPv6 Client and Server protocol support. Use '-6' to run the daemons
2306 as v6-only. Use '-4' to run the daemons as v4-only (default. There is
2307 no support currently for both.
2308
2309- Server support for multiple IA_NA options, containing at most one
2310 IAADDR option.
2311
2312- Client support for one IA_NA option, containing any number of IAADDR
2313 options.
2314
2315- Server support for the DHCPv6 Information-request message.
2316
2317- Inappropriate unicast DHCPv6 messages sent to the server are now
2318 discarded, and this has rearchitected the IO system slightly.
2319
2320- The DHCPv6 server DUID defaults to type 1, is persistently stored in
2321 the leases database, and can be over-ridden (either completely, or by
2322 specifying type 1 or type 2).
2323
2324- The server only uses Rapid-Commit if it has been configured with the
2325 Rapid-Commit option and the client requests it.
2326
2327- DDNS support. We now update AAAA records in the same place we would
2328 update A records, if we have an IPv6 address. We also generate IP6.ARPA
2329 style names for PTR records if we're dealing with an IPv6 address. Both
2330 A and AAAA updates are done using the same 'fqdn.' virtual option space
2331 (although the DHCPv4 FQDN and DHCPv6 FQDN options are formatted
2332 differently, they both use the same code here).
2333
2334- The Linux dhclient-script attempts to set and remove assigned addresses,
2335 and to configure /etc/resolv.conf from nameserver and domain name
2336 configurations. It can be extended to configure other parameters.
2337
2338- Initial DHCPv6 lease support.
2339
2340- The IO system now tracks all local IP addresses, so that the DHCP
2341 applications (particularly the dhcrelay) can discern between what frames
2342 were transmitted to it, and what frames are being carried through it which
2343 it should not intercept.
2344
1418fd11
DH
2345 Changes since 3.1.0 (Maintenance)
2346
2347- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for virgin leases always
2348 mapped to the primary. Virgin leases now have an interleaved preference
2349 between primary and secondary.
2350
2351- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for clients with no client
2352 identifier was sometimes mishashed to the peer. Load balancing during
2353 runtime and pool rebalancing were opposing.
2354
aa3e348e
DH
2355- An assertion in lease counting relating to reserved leases was repaired.
2356
e9c59645
DH
2357- The subnet-mask option inclusion now conforms with RFC2132 section 3.3;
2358 it will only appear prior to the routers option if it is present on the
2359 Parameter-Request-List. The subnet-mask option will also only be
2360 included by default (if it is not on the PRL) in response to DISCOVER
2361 or REQUEST messages.
2362
2363- The FQDN option is only supplied if the client supplied an FQDN option or
2364 if the FQDN option was explicitly requested on the PRL.

DH
2373 Changes since 3.1.0b2
2374
2375- Failover rebalance events no longer play ping pong with round errors
2376 (moving leases between free and back to backup where there are an
2377 odd number of leases).
2378
2379- The 'pool' log line has been split into two messages, one before the
2380 rebalance run, and one after.
2381
2382- Any queued BNDACKs are transmitted before transmitting new BNDUPDs.
2383 This enforces the correct sequence of events for the remote server
2384 processing these messages.
2385
fe5b0fdd 2386 Changes since 3.1.0b1

1ba87b37
EH
2391- A new server config option "fqdn-reply" specifies whether the server
2392 should send out option 81 (FQDN). Defaults to "on". If set to "off",
2393 the FQDN option is not sent, even if the client requested it. This is
2394 needed because some clients misbehave otherwise. Thanks to Christof Chen
2395 at Allianz.

2400- A bug was fixed that caused dhcpd to segfault if a pool was declared
2401 outside the scope of a subnet in dhcpd.conf.
2402
27837f95
DH
2403- Some uninitialized values were repaired in dhcpleasequery.c that
2404 caused the server to abort.
2405
4d2eaafb
DH
2406- A new server config option, 'do-reverse-updates', has been added
2407 which causes the server to abstain from performing updates on PTR
2408 records. Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen at Allianz.
2409
06211b40
DH
2410- A bug was repaired in subencapsulation support, where spaces separated
2411 by empty spaces would not get included.
2412
d6614ea2
DH
2413- A bug in dhclient was repaired which caused it to send parameter request
2414 lists of 55 bytes in length no matter how long the declared PRL was.
2415
132d38f2
DH
2416- 'dhcp.c(3953): non-null pointer' has been repaired. This fixes a flaw
2417 wherein the DHCPv4 server may ignore a configured server-identifier.
2418
fc3b9c90
DH
2419- A flaw in failover startup sequences was repaired that sometimes left
2420 the primary DHCP server's pool rebalance schedules unscheduled.
2421
c9feb859
DH
2422- Corrected a flaw that broke encapsulated spaces included due to presence
2423 on the parameter request list.

DH
2429 Changes since 3.1.0a2

2431- A bug was fixed where attempting to permit leasequeries results in a
2432 fatal internal error, "Unable to find server option 49".
2433
85edef5c
DH
2434- A bug was fixed in dhclient rendering the textual output form of the
2435 domain-search option syntax.

DH
2437 Changes since 3.1.0a1
2438
2439- A bug in the FQDN universe that added FQDN codes to the NWIP universe's
2440 hash table was repaired.
2441
616d67cb
DH
2442- The servers now try harder to transmit pending binding updates when
2443 entering normal state.
2444
2445- UPDREQ/UPDREQALL handling was optimized - it no longer dequeues and
2446 requeues all pending updates. This should reduce the number of spurious
66c8f734
DH
2447 'xid mismatch' log messages.
2448
2449- An option definition referencing leak was fixed, which resulted in early
2450 termination of dhclient upon the renewal event.
616d67cb 2451
6708d944
DH
2452- Some default hash table sizes were tweaked, some upwards, some downwards.
2453 3.1.0a1's tables resulted in a reduction in default server memory use.
2454 The new selected values provide more of a zero sum (increasing the size
2455 of tables likely to be populated, decreasing the size of tables unlikely).
2456
45d545f0 2457- Lease structures appear in three separate hashes: by IP address, by UID,
6708d944
DH
2458 and by hardware address. One type of table was used for all three, and
2459 improvements to IP address hashing were applied to all three (so UID and
2460 hardware addresses were treated like 4-byte integers). There are now two
2461 types of tables, and the uid/hw hashes use functions more appropriate
2462 to their needs.
2463
2464- The max-lease-misbalance percentage no longer causes scheduled rebalance
2465 runs to be skipped: it still governs the schedule, but every scheduled
2466 run will attempt balance.
2467
a7ee93fe
DH
2468- A segfault bug in recursive encapsulation support has been corrected.
2469
98311e4b
DH
2470 Changes since 3.0 (New Features)
2471
2472- A workaround for certain STSN servers that send a mangled domain-name
2473 option was introduced for dhclient. The client will now accept corrupted
2474 server responses, if they contain a valid DHCP_MESSAGE_TYPE (OFFER, ACK,
2475 or NAK). The server will continue to not accept corrupt client packets.
2476
98bd7ca0 2477- Support for 'reserved' (pseudo-static) and BOOTP leases via failover
a55ccdd0 2478 was introduced.
98311e4b
DH
2479
2480- Support for adding, removing, and managing class and subclass statements
2481 via OMAPI.
2482
a55ccdd0
DH
2483- The failover implementation was updated to comply with revision 12 of
2484 the protocol draft.
2485
98311e4b
DH
2486- 'make install' now creates the initial zero-length dhcpd.leases file if
2487 one does not already exist on the system.
2488
b43c87ad 2489- RFC3942 compliance, site-local option spaces start at 224 now, not 128.
b43c87ad 2490
0b17f049
DH
2491- The Load Balance Algorithm was misimplemented. The current implementation
2492 matches RFC 3074.
2493
2727c1cf
DH
2494- lcase() and ucase() configuration expressions have been added which adjust
2495 their arguments from upper to lower and lower to upper cases respectively.
2714a8ef 2496 Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
2727c1cf 2497
febbd402
DH
2498- The dhclient 'reject ...;' statement, which rejects leases given by named
2499 server-identifiers, now permits address ranges to be specified in CIDR
7d7073e7 2500 notation. Thanks to a patch from David Boyce.
febbd402 2501
ee912528
DH
2502- The subnet-mask option is now supplied by default, but at lowest
2503 priority. This helps a small minority of clients that provide parameter
2504 request lists, but do not list the subnet-mask option because they were
2505 designed to interoperate with a server that behaves in this manner.
2506
2507- The FQDN option is similarly supplied even if it does not appear on the
2508 parameter request list, but not to the exclusion of options that do
2509 appear at the parameter request list. Up until now it had ultimate
2510 priority over the client's parameter request list.
2511
f7fdb216 2512- Varying option space code and length bit widths (8/16/32) are now
51202707 2513 supported. This is a milestone in achieving RFC 3925 "VIVSO" and
f7fdb216
DH
2514 DHCPv6 support.
2515
5e864416
DH
2516- A new common (server or client) option, 'db-time-format local;', has
2517 been added which prints the local time in /var/db/dhcpd.leases rather
2518 than UTC. Thanks to a patch from Ken Lalonde.
2519
b500bd4c
DH
2520- Some patches to improve DHCP Server startup speed from Andrew Matheson
2521 have been incorporated.
2522
2426234f
DH
2523- Failover pairs now implement 'MAC Affinity' on leases moving from the
2524 active to free states. Leases that belonged to the failover secondary
2525 are moved to BACKUP state rather than FREE upon exiting EXPIRED state.
2526 If lease rebalancing must move leases, it tries first to move leases
2527 that belong to the peer in need.
2528
2529- The server no longer sends POOLREQ messages unless the pool is severely
2530 misbalanced in the peer's favor (see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more details).
2531
2532- Pool rebalance events no longer happen upon successfully allocating a
2533 lease. Instead, they happen on a schedule. See 'man dhcpd.conf' for the
2534 min-balance and max-balance statements for more information.
2535
334bf491
DH
2536- The DHCP Relay Agent Information Option / Link Selection Sub-Option
2537 is now supported. (See RFC3527 for details).
2538
3004bebf
DH
2539- A new DDNS related server option, update-conflict-detection, has been
2540 added. If this option is enabled, dhcpd will perform normal DHCID
2541 conflict resolution (the default). If this option is disabled, it will
2542 instead trust the assigned name implicitly (removing any other bindings
2543 on that name). This option has not been made available in dhclient.
2544
567e8561
DH
2545- In those cases where the DHCP software manufactures an IP header (to
2546 transmit via bpf, lpf, etc), the IP TTL the software selects has been
2547 increased from 16 to 128. This is intended to match Microsoft Windows
2548 DHCP Client behaviour, to increase compatibility.
2549
a396d25f
DH
2550- 'ignore client-updates;' now has behaviour that is different from
2551 'deny client-updates;'. The client's request is not truly ignored,
2552 rather it is encouraged. Should this value be configured, the server
2553 updates DNS as though client-updates were set to 'deny'. That is, it
2554 enters into DNS whatever it is configured to do already, provided it is
2555 configured to. Then it sends a response to the client that lets the
2556 client believe it is performing client updates (which it will), probably
2557 for a different name. In essence, this lets the client do as it will,
2558 ignoring this aspect of their request.
2559
dba5803b
DH
2560- Support for compressed 'domain name list' style DHCP option contents, and
2561 in particular the domain search option (#119) was added.
2562
41e45067 2563- The DHCP LEASEQUERY protocol as defined in RFC4388 is now implemented.
6d103865
SK
2564 LEASEQUERY lets you query the DHCP server for information about a lease,
2565 using either an IP address, MAC address, or client identifier. Thanks
2566 to a patch from Justin Haddad.
2567
41e45067
DH
2568- DHCPD is now RFC2131 section 4.1 compliant (broadcast to all-ones ip and
2569 ethernet mac address) on the SCO platform specifically without any strange
2570 ifconfig hacks. Many thanks go to the Kroger Co. for donating the
2571 hardware and funding the development.
6d103865 2572
b543fea9
DH
2573- A new common configuration executable statement, execute(), has been
2574 added. This permits dhcpd or dhclient to execute a named external
2575 program with command line arguments specified from other configuration
2576 language. Thanks to a patch written by Mattias Ronnblom, gotten to us
2577 via Robin Breathe.
2578
b22de500
DH
2579- A new dhcp server option 'adaptive-lease-time-threshold' has been added
2580 which causes the server to substantially reduce lease-times if there are
2581 few (configured percentage) remaining leases. Thanks to a patch submitted
2582 from Christof Chen.
2583
96bbe8c5
SK
2584- Encapsulated option spaces within encapsulated option spaces is now
2585 formally supported.
2586
b8221d95
DH
2587 Changes since 3.0.6rc1
2588
2589- supersede_lease() now requeues leases in their respective hardware
2590 address hash bucket. This mirrors client identifier behaviour.
2591
c1e6c832
DH
2592 Changes since 3.0.5
2593
f546c28b
DH
2594- Assorted fixes for broken network devices: Packet length is now
2595 determined from the IP header length field to finally calculate the
2596 UDP payload length, because some NIC drivers return more data than
5a22eb63 2597 they actually received.
f546c28b
DH
2598
2599- UDP packets are now stored in aligned data structures.
2600
c1e6c832
DH
2601- A logic error in omapi interface code was repaired that might result in
2602 incorrectly indicating 'up' state when any flags were set, rather than
23e10d37
DH
2603 specifically the INTERFACE_REQUESTED flag. Thanks to a patch from
2604 Jochen Voss which got to us via Andrew Pollock at Debian.
c1e6c832 2605
75ab3070
DH
2606- A reference leak on binding scopes set by ddns updates was repaired.
2607
d69fb6a8 2608- A memory leak in the minires_nsendsigned() function call was repaired.
23e10d37 2609 Effectively, this leaked ~176 bytes per DDNS update.
d69fb6a8 2610
02428754
DH
2611- In the case where an "L2" DHCP Relay Agent (one that does not set giaddr)
2612 was directly attached to the same broadcast domain as the DHCP server,
2613 the RFC3046 relay agent information option was not being returned to the
2614 relay in the server's replies. This was fixed; the dhcp server no longer
2615 requires the giaddr to reply with relay agent information. Note that
2616 this also improves compatibility with L2 devices that "intercept" DHCP
2617 packets and expect relay agent information even in unicast (renewal)
23e10d37
DH
2618 replies. Thanks to a patch from Pekka Silvonen.
2619
2620- A bug was fixed where the BOOTP header 'sname' field had a value, the
2621 copy written to persistent storage was actually the contents of the
2622 'file' field.
02428754 2623
ecde99a3
DH
2624- A bug was fixed where the nwip virtual option space was referencing
2625 the fqdn option's virtual option space's option cache.
2626
67674ffb
DH
2627- Timestamp parsing errors that indicated missing "minutes" fields rather
2628 than the actually missing "seconds" fields have been repaired thanks to
2629 a patch from Kevin Steves.
2630
830ebc4c
DH
2631- A grammar error in the dhclient.8 manpage was repaired thanks to a patch
2632 from Chris Wagner.
2633
c759db75
DH
2634- Several spelling typos were repaired, and some cross-references to other
2635 relevant documents were included in the manpages, thanks to a patch
2636 by Andrew Pollock which got to us via Tomas Pospisek.
2637
9aa3f3a5
DH
2638- Some bugs were fixed in the 'emergency relay agent options hologram'
2639 which is used to retain relay agent option contents from when the
2640 client was in INIT or REBIND states. This should solve problems where
2641 relay agent options were not echoed from the server, even when giaddr
2642 was set.
2643
3d0c598a
DH
2644- dhclient now closes its descriptor to dhclient.leases prior to executing
2645 dhclient-script. Thanks to a patch from Tomas Pospisek.
2646
d5b6835f
DH
2647- The server's "by client-id" and "by hardware address" hash table lists
2648 are now sorted according to the preference to re-allocate that lease to
2649 returning clients. This should eliminate pool starvation problems
2650 arising when "INIT" clients were given new leases rather than presently
2651 active ones.
2652
02428754 2653 Changes since 3.0.5rc1
0a73b7b6 2654
901306d5 2655- A bug was repaired in fixes to the dhclient, which sought to run the
0a73b7b6
SK
2656 dhclient-script with the 'EXPIRE' state should it receive a NAK in
2657 response to a REQUEST. The client now iterates the PREINIT state
2658 after the EXPIRE state, so that interfaces that might be configured
2659 'down' can be brought back 'up' and initialized.
2660
87a08ccc
DH
2661- DHCPINFORM handling for clients that properly set ciaddr and come to the
2662 server via a relay aget has been repaired.
2663
6da113fb
DH
2664 Changes since 3.0.4
2665
2666- A warning that host statements declared within subnet or shared-network
2667 scopes are actually global has been added.
2668
2669- The default minimum lease time (if min-lease-time was not specified)
2670 was raised from 0 to 300. 0 is not thought to be sensible, and is
2671 known to be damaging.
2672
2673- Added additional fatal error sanity checks surrounding lease binding
2674 state count calculations (free/active counts used for failover pool
2675 balancing).
2676
dcc557db
DH
2677- Some time value size fixes in 3.0.4 brought on from FreeBSD /usr/ports were
2678 misapplied to server values rather than client values. The server no longer
2679 advertises 8-byte lease-time options when on 64-bit platforms.
2680
1b2ab55f
DH
2681- A bug where leases not in ACTIVE state would get billed to billed classes
2682 (classes with lease limitations) was fixed. Non-active leases OFFERed
2683 to clients are no longer billed (but billing is checked before offering).
2684
e48891e8
DH
2685- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated in regard to the ddns-domainname
2686 configuration option - the default configuration and results should be
2687 more clear now.
2688
6cbc6629
DH
2689- If the dhclient were to receive a DHCPNAK while it was in the RENEW
2690 state (and consequently, had an active, 'bound' address and related
2691 configuration options), it would fail to 'tear down' this information
2692 before proceeding into INIT state. dhclient now iterates the dhclient-
2693 script with the 'EXPIRE' action to cause these teardowns prior to entering
1d3bfb17 2694 INIT state. Thanks to a patch from Chris Zimmerman.
6cbc6629 2695
c5fec5fa
DH
2696- The omapi.1 manpage had some formatting errors repaired thanks to a patch
2697 from Yoshihiko Sarumaru.
2698
33e1cb2b
DH
2699- A few lines of code that were failover-specific were moved within
2700 #if defined() clauses so that compilation without failover could be
2701 made possible.
2702
2bddf829
DH
2703- The log message emitted when the 'leased-address' value was not available
2704 in dhcpd.conf "executable statements" has been updated to be more helpful.
2705 Manpage information for this value has also been updated.
2706
87578987
DH
2707- Abandoned or dissociated (err condition) leases now remove any related
2708 dynamic dns bindings. Thanks to a patch from Patrick Schoo.
2709
e77c575f
DH
2710- Attempting to write a new lease file to replace a corrupt (due to
2711 encountering non-retryable errors during writing) lease file should
2712 no longer result in an infinite recursion.
2713
2178df03
DH
2714- Host declaration hardware addresses and client identifiers may only be
2715 configured once. dhcpd will now fail to load config files that specify
2716 multiple identifiers (previous versions would silently over-ride the
2717 value with the later configured value).
2718
d5341d9b
SK
2719- Several option codes that have been allocated since our last release
2720 have been named and documented.
2721
2722- Option names of the form "unknown-123" have been removed from the in-
2723 memory hash tables. In order to support options of these names that
2724 may appear in dhclient.leases or similar in previous versions, the
2725 parser will now find the new option code definition, or mock up a
2726 generic option code definition. This should result in a smooth
2727 transition from one name to the other, as the new name is used to
2728 write new output.
2729
6da113fb
DH
2730 Changes since 3.0.4rc1
2731
2732- The dhcp-options.5 manpage was updated to correct indentation errors
2733 thanks to a patch from Jean Delvare.
2734
2735 Changes since 3.0.4b3
2736
2737- Some manual pages were clarified pursuant to discussion on the dhcp-server
2738 mailing list.
2739
88cd8aca
DH
2740 Changes since 3.0.4b2
2741
45d545f0 2742- Null-termination sensing for certain clients that unfortunately require
88cd8aca
DH
2743 it in DHCPINFORM processing was repaired.
2744
2745- The host-name option and a few others were moved from "X" format to "t"
2746 format to be compatible with new NULL handling functions.
2747
2748- DHCPINFORM processing is a little more careful about return addressing
2749 its responses, or if responding via a relay. The INFORM related
2750 messages also log the 'effective client ip address' rather than the
2751 client's supplied ciaddr (since some clients produce null ciaddrs).
2752
2753- The server was inappropriately sending leases to the RESET state in the
2754 event that multiple active leases were found to match a singly-identified
2755 client. This was changed to RELEASED (by accepting a different, ACTIVE
2756 binding, the client is implicitly releasing its lease). This repairs a
2757 bug wherein secondary servers in failover pairs detecting this condition
2758 move leases to RESET, and primaries refuse to accept that state
2759 transition (properly).
2760
2761- The memset-after-dmalloc() changes made in 3.0.4b1 have been backed out.
2762
2763 Changes since 3.0.4b1
2764
2765- Command line parsing in omshell was repaired - it no longer closes
2766 STDIN after reading one line.
2767
2768- The resolver library no longer closes the /etc/resolv.conf file
2769 descriptor it opened twice.
2770
2771- Changes to trailing NULL removal in 't' option-atoms has been rethought,
2772 it now includes 'd' (domain name) types, and tries hard not to rewind an
2773 option beyond the start of the text field it is un-terminating.
2774
2775 Changes since 3.0.3
2776
2777- A DDNS update handling function was misusing the DNS error codes, rather
2778 than the internal generic result enumeration. The result is a confusing
2779 syslog line, logging the wrong condition.
2780
2781- The DHCP Server was not checking pool balance in the case where it brought
2782 a non-ACTIVE lease out of storage for a client that was returning to use
2783 a lease it once had long ago, and had since expired.
2784
2785- Failover peers no longer bother to look for free leases to allocate when
2786 they already found the client's ACTIVE lease. DISCOVERs are load balanced
98bd7ca0 2787 whether freely-allocated or not, unless the server doubts the peer has
88cd8aca
DH
2788 leases to allocate.
2789
2790- Fixed a bug in dhcrelay agent addition code that suppressed trailing
45d545f0 2791 PAD options - it was suppressing only one trailing PAD option, rather
88cd8aca
DH
2792 than the entire block of them.
2793
3a16098f
DH
2794! Fixed some unlikely overlapping-region memcpy() bugs in dhcrelay agent
2795 option addition and stripping code. Added a few sanity checks. Although
2796 highly improbable, due to requiring the reception of a DHCP datagram well
2797 in excess of all known to be used physical MTU limitations, it is possible
2798 this may have been used in a stack overflow security vulnerability. Thanks
2799 to a patch from infamous42md.
2800
2801! Added some sanity checks to OMAPI connection/authentication code.
2802 Although highly improbable, due to having to deliver in excess of 2^32
2803 bytes of data via the OMAPI channel, not to mention requiring dhcpd to
2804 be able to malloc() a memory region 2^32 bytes in size, it was possible
2805 this might have resulted in a heap overflow security vulnerability.
2806 Thanks to a patch from infamous42md.
88cd8aca
DH
2807
2808- dmalloc() memset()'s the non-debug (data) portion of the allocated
2809 memory to zero. Code that memset()'s the result returned by dmalloc() to
2810 zero is redundant. These redundancies were removed.
2811
2812- Some type declaration corrections to u_int16_t were made in common/tr.c
4b97eaff 2813 (Token Ring support) thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
88cd8aca
DH
2814
2815- A failover bug that was allowing leases that EXPIRED or were RELEASED
2816 where tsfp and tstp are identical timestamps to languish in these
2817 transitional states has been repaired. As a side effect, lease
2818 databases should be kept more consistent overall, not just for these
2819 transitional states.
2820
2821- If the lease db is deleted out from under the daemon, and it moves to rewrite
2822 the db, it will go ahead with the operation and move the new db into place
2823 once it detects the old db does not exist.
2824
2825- dhclient now ignores IRDA, SIT, and IEEE1394 network interfaces, as it
2826 is either nonsensical or (in the case of IEEE1394) is not known to support
2827 these interfaces. Thanks to Marius Gedminas and Andrew Pollock of Debian.
2828
2829- Some previously undocumented reasons for dhclient-script invoking has
45d545f0 2830 been documented in the dhclient-script.8 manpage.

DH
2831
2832- Failover potential expiry calculations (TSTP) have been corrected. Results
2833 should be substantially more consistent, and proper given the constraints.
2834
2835- Adjusted lease state validation checks in potential-conflict, to
2836 account for possible clock skew similarly to normal state, and several
2837 previously illegal transitions were made legal (ex: active->released).
2838
2839- An impossible sanity check was removed from omapi/buffer.c, thanks to a
2840 patch from 'infamous42md'.
2841
2842- An OMAPI host/network byte order problem in lease time values has been
2843 repaired.
2844
2845- Several minor bugs, largely relating to treating 8-byte time values as
2846 4-byte entities, have been repaired after careful review of the FreeBSD
2847 ports collection's patch set. Thanks to the nameless entities who have
2848 contributed to the FreeBSD ports.
2849
2850- When writing a trace file, the file is now created with permissions 0600,
2851 to help administrators avoid accidentally publicising sensitive config
2852 data.
2853
2854- The calculation of the maximum size of DHCP packets no longer includes
2855 Ethernet framing overhead. The result is that the 'Maximum Message
2856 Size' option advertised by clients, or the default value 576, is no
2857 longer reduced by 14 bytes, and instead directly reflects the IP level
2858 MTU (and the default, minimum allowed IP MTU of 576).
2859
2860- The special status of RELEASED/EXPIRED/RESET leases when a server
2861 is operating in partner-down was fixed. It no longer requires a
2862 lease be twice the MCLT beyond STOS to 'reallocate', and the expiry
2863 event to turn these into FREE leases without peer acknowledgement
2864 (after STOS+MCLT) has been repaired.
2865
2866- Compilation on older Solaris systems (lacking /usr/include/sys/int_types.h)
2867 has been repaired.
2868
2869- "append"ing a string onto the end of a "t" type option (such as the
2870 domain-name field) that had been improperly NULL-terminated by the
2871 DHCP server will no longer result in a truncated string containing
2872 only the option from the server, and not the expected appended value.
4b97eaff 2873 Thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
88cd8aca
DH
2874
2875- File handlers on configuration state (config files and lease dbs) should
98bd7ca0 2876 be treated consistently, regardless of whether TRACING is defined or not.
88cd8aca 2877
45d545f0 2878- The Linux build environment has had some minor improvements - better
88cd8aca
DH
2879 sensing of 64-bit pointer sizes (only used for establishing an icmp_id),
2880 and corrections to #if operators regarding LINUX_MAJOR should it ever
2881 move to 3.[01].x.
2882
2883- The server now tries harder to survive the condition where it is unable
2884 to open a new lease file to rewrite the lease state database.
2885

2886 Changes since 3.0.3b3
2887
2888- dhclient.conf documentation for interface {} was updated to reflect recent
2889 discussion on the dhcp-hackers mailing list.
2890
2891- In response to reports that the software does not compile on GCC 4.0.0,
2892 -Werror was removed from Makefile.conf for all platforms that used it.
2893 We will address the true problem in a future release; this is a temporary
2894 workaround.
2895
2896 Changes since 3.0.3b2
2897
2898- An error in code changes introduced in 3.0.3b2 was corrected, which caused
2899 static BOOTP clients to receive random addresses.
2900
2901 Changes since 3.0.3b1
2902
2903- A bug was fixed in BOOTPREQUEST handling code wherein stale references to
2904 host records would be left behind on leases that were not allocated to the
2905 client currently booting (eg in the case where the host was denied booting).
2906
2907- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated to be more clear in regards to
2908 multiple host declarations (thanks to Vincent McIntyre). 'Interim' style
2909 dynamic updates were also retouched.
2910
98311e4b
DH
2911 Changes since 3.0.2
2912
2913- A bug was fixed where a server might load balance a DHCP REQUEST to its
45d545f0 2914 peer after already choosing not to load balance the preceding DISCOVER.
98311e4b
DH
2915 The peer cannot allocate the originating server's lease.
2916
2917- In the case where a secondary server lost its stable storage while the
2918 primary was still in communications-interrupted, and came back online,
2919 the lease databases would not be fully transferred to the secondary.
2920 This was due to the secondary errantly sending an extra UPDREQ message
2921 when the primary made its state transition to PARTNER-DOWN known.
2922
2923- The package will now compile cleanly in gcc 3.3 and 3.4. As a side effect,
2924 lease structures will be 9 bytes smaller on all platforms. Thanks to
4b97eaff 2925 Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
2926
2927- Interface discovery code in DISCOVER_UNCONFIGURED mode is now
2928 properly restricted to only detecting broadcast interfaces. Thanks
4b97eaff 2929 to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
2930
2931- decode_udp_ip_header was changed so that the IP address was copied out
2932 to a variable, rather than referenced by a pointer. This enforces 4-byte
2933 alignment of the 32-bit IP address value. Thanks to a patch from Dr.
2934 Peter Poeml.
2935
2936- An incorrect log message was corrected thanks to a patch from
2937 Dr. Peter Poeml.
2938
2939- A bug in DDNS was repaired, where if the server's first DDNS action was
2940 a DDNS removal rather than a DDNS update, the resolver library's
2941 retransmit timer and retry timer was set to the default, implying a
2942 15 second timeout interval. Which is a little excessive in a synchronous,
2943 single-threaded system. In all cases, ISC DHCP should now hold fast to
2944 a 1-second timeout, trying only once.
2945
2946- The siaddr field was being improperly set to the server-identifier when
2947 responding to DHCP messages. RFC2131 clarified the siaddr field as
2948 meaning the 'next server in the bootstrap process', eg a tftp server.
2949 The siaddr field is now left zeroed unless next-server is configured.
2950
2951- mockup_lease() could have returned in an error condition (or in the
2952 condition where no fixed-address was found matching the shared
2953 network) with stale references to a host record. This is probably not
2954 a memory leak since host records generally never die anyway.
2955
2956- A bug was repaired where failover servers would let stale client identifiers
2957 persist on leases that were reallocated to new clients not sending an id.
2958
2959- Binding scopes ("set var = value;") are now removed from leases allocated
2960 by failover peers if the lease had expired. This should help reduce the
2961 number of stale binding scopes on leases.
2962
2963- A small memory leak was closed involving client identifiers larger than
2964 7 bytes, and failover.
2965
2966- Configuring a subnet in dhcpd.conf with a subnet mask of 32 bits might
2967 cause an internal function to overflow heap. Thanks to Jason Vas Dias
4b97eaff 2968 at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
2969
2970- Some inconsistencies in treating numbers that the lexer parsed as 'NUMBER'
2971 or 'NUMBER_OR_NAME' was repaired. Hexadecimal parsing is affected, and
2972 should work better.
2973
2974- In several cases, parse warnings were being issued before the lexical
2975 token had been advanced to the token whose value was causing an error...
2976 causing parse warnings to claim the problem is on the wrong token.
2977
2978- Host declarations matching on client identifier for dynamic leases will
2979 no longer match fixed-address host declarations (this is now identical
2980 to behaviour for host records matching on hardware address).
2981
2982 Changes since 3.0.2rc3
2983
2984- A previously undocumented configuration directive, 'local-address',
2985 was documented in the dhcpd.conf manpage.
2986
2987 Changes since 3.0.2rc2
2988
45d545f0 2989- Two variables introduced in 3.0.2b1 were used without being initialized
98311e4b
DH
2990 in the case where neither the FILE nor SNAME fields were available for
2991 overloading. This was repaired.
2992
2993- A heretofore believed to be impossible corner case of the option
2994 overloading implementation turned out to be possible ("Unable to sort
2995 overloaded options after 10 tries."). The implementation was reworked
2996 to consider the case of an option so large it would require more than
2997 three chunks to fit.
2998
2999- Many other instances of variables being used without being initialized
3000 were repaired.
3001
3002- An uninitialized variable in omapi_io_destroy() led to the discovery
3003 that this function may result in orphaned pointers (and hence, a memory
3004 leak).
3005
3006 Changes since 3.0.2rc1
3007
3008- allocate_lease() was rewritten to repair a bug in which the server would
3009 try to allocate an ABANDONED lease when FREE leases were available.
3010
3011 Changes since 3.0.2b1
3012
3013- Some dhcp-eval.5 manpage formatting was repaired.
3014
3015 Changes since 3.0.1
3016
3017- A bug was fixed in the server's 'option overloading' implementation,
3018 where options loaded into the 'file' and 'sname' packet fields were
3019 not aligned precisely as rfc2131 dictates.
3020
3021- The FreeBSD client script was changed to support the case where a domain
3022 name was not provided by the server.
3023
3024- A memory leak in 'omshell' per each command line parsed was
3025 repaired, thanks to a patch from Jarkko Torppa.
3026
3027- Log functions writing to stderr were adjusted to use the STDERR_FILENO
3028 system definition rather than '2'. This is a no-op for 90% of platforms.
3029
3030- One call to trace_write_packet_iov() counted the number of io vectors
3031 incorrectly, causing inconsistent tracefiles. This was fixed.
3032
3033- Some expression parse failure memory leaks were closed.
3034
3035- A host byte order problem in tracefiles was repaired.
3036
3037- Pools configured in DHCPD for failover possessing permission lists that
adb95d23 3038 previously were assumed to not include dynamic bootp clients are now
98311e4b
DH
3039 a little more pessimistic. The result is, dhcpd will nag you about just
3040 about most pools that possess a 'allow' statement with no 'deny' that
3041 would definitely match a dynamic bootp client.
3042
3043- The 'ddns-update-style' configuration warning bit now insists that
3044 the configuration be globally scoped.
3045
3046- Two memory leaks in dhclient were closed thanks to a patch from Felix
3047 Farkas.
3048
3049- Some minor but excellently pedantic documentation errors were fixed
3050 thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
3051
3052- Bugs in operator precedence in executable statements have been repaired
3053 once again. More legal syntaxes should be parsed legally.
3054
3055- Failing to initialize a tracefile for any reason if a tracefile was
3056 specified is now a fatal error. Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
3057
3058- Corrected a bug in which the number of leases transferred as calculated
3059 by the failover primary and sent to peers in POOLRESP responses may be
3060 incorrect. This value is not believed to be used by other failover
3061 implementations, excepting perhaps as logged information.
3062
3063- Corrected a bug in which 'dhcp_failover_send_poolresp()' was in fact
3064 sending POOLREQ messages instead of POOLRESP mesasges. This message
3065 was essentially ignored since failover secondaries effectively do not
3066 respond to POOLREQ messages.
3067
3068- Type definitions for various bitwidths of integers in the sunos5-5
3069 build of ISC DHCP have been fixed. It should compile and run more
3070 easily when built in 64-bit for this platform.
3071
3072- "allow known-clients;" is now a legal syntax, to avoid confusion.
3073
3074- If one dhcp server chooses to 'load balance' a request to its failover
3075 peer, it first checks to see if it believes said peer has a free
3076 lease to allocate before ignoring the DISCOVER.
3077
3078- log() was logging a work buffer, rather than the value returned by
3079 executing the statements configured by the user. In some cases,
3080 the work buffer and the intended results were the same. In some other
3081 cases, they were not. This was fixed thanks to a patch from Gunnar
3082 Fjone and directconnect.no.
3083
3084- Compiler warnings for some string type conversions was fixed, thanks
3085 to Andreas Gustafsson.
3086
3087- The netbsd build environments were simplified to one, in which
3088 -Wconversion is not used, thanks to Andreas Gustafsson.
3089
3090- How randomness in the backoff-cutoff dhclient configuration variable
3091 is implemented was better documented in the manpage, and the behaviour
3092 of dhclient in REQUEST timeout handling was changed to match that of
3093 DISCOVER timeout handling.
3094
3095- Omapi was hardened against clients that pass in null values, thanks
3096 to a patch from Mark Jason Dominus.
3097
3098- A bug was fixed in dhclient that kept it from doing client-side
3099 ddns updates. Thanks to a patch from Andreas Gustafsson, which
3100 underwent some modification after review by Jason Vas Dias.
3101
3102- Failover implementations disconnected due to the network between
3103 them (rather than one of the two shutting down) will now try to
3104 re-establish the failover connection every 5 seconds, rather than
3105 to simply try once and give up until one of them is restarted.
3106 Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from Infoblox, and field testing
3107 by Greger V. Teigre which led to an enhancement to it.
3108
3109- A problem that kept DHCP Failover secondaries from tearing down
3110 ddns records was repaired. Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from
3111 Infoblox.
3112
3113- 64bit pointer sizes are detected properly on FreeBSD now.
3114
3115- A bug was repaired where the DHCP server would leave stale references
3116 to host records on leases it once thought about offering to certain
3117 clients. The result would be to apply host and 'known' scopes to the
3118 wrong clients (possibly denying booting). NOTE: The 'mis-host' patch
3119 that was being circulated as a workaround is not the way this bug was
3120 fixed. If you were a victim of this bug in 3.0.1, you are cautioned
3121 to proceed carefully and see if it fixes your problem.
3122
3123- A bug was repaired in the server's DHCPINFORM handling, where it
3124 tried to divine the client's address from the source packet and
3125 would get it wrong. Thanks to Anshuman Singh Rawat.
3126
3127- A log message was introduced to help illuminate the case where the
3128 server was unable to find a lease to assign to any BOOTP client.
3129 Thanks to Daniel Baker.
3130
3131- A minor dhcpd.conf.5 manpage error was fixed.
3132
3133 Changes since 3.0.1rc14
3134
3135- The global variable 'cur_time' was centralized and is now uniformly of a
3136 type #defined in system-dependent headers. It had previously been defined
3137 in one of many places as a 32-bit value, and this causes mayhem on 64-bit
3138 big endian systems. It probably wasn't too healthy on little endian
3139 systems either.
3140
3141- A printf format string error introduced in rc14 was repaired.
3142
3143- AIX system-dependent header file was altered to only define NO_SNPRINTF
3144 if the condition used to #ifdef in vsnprintf in AIX' header files
3145 is false.
3146
3147- The Alpha/OSF system-dependent header file was altered to define
3148 NO_SNPRINTF on OS revisions older than 4.0G.
3149
3150- omapip/test.c had string.h added to its includes.
3151
3152 Changes since 3.0.1rc13
3153
3154! CAN-2004-0460 - CERT VU#317350: Five stack overflow exploits were closed
3155 in logging messages with excessively long hostnames provided by the
3156 clients. It is highly probable that these could have been used by
3157 attackers to gain arbitrary root access on systems using ISC DHCP 3.0.1
3158 release candidates 12 or 13. Special thanks to Gregory Duchemin for
3159 both finding and solving the problem.
3160
3161! CAN-2004-0461 - CERT VU#654390: Once the above was closed, an opening
45d545f0 3162 in log_*() functions was evidenced, on some specific platforms where
98311e4b
DH
3163 vsnprintf() was not believed to be available and calls were wrapped to
3164 sprintf() instead. Again, credit goes to Gregory Duchemin for finding
3165 the problem. Calls to snprintf() are now linked to a distribution-local
3166 snprintf implementation, only in those cases where the architecture is
3167 not known to provide one (see includes/cf/[arch].h). If you experience
3168 linking problems with snprintf/vsnprintf or 'isc_print_' functions, this
3169 is where to look. This vulnerability did not exist in any previously
3170 published version of ISC DHCP.
3171
3172- Compilation on hpux 11.11 was repaired.
3173
3174- 'The cross-compile bug fix' was backed out.
3175
3176 Changes since 3.0.1rc12
3177
3178- Fixed a bug in omapi lease lookup function, to form the hardware
3179 address for the hash lookup correctly, thanks to a patch from
3180 Richard Hirst.
3181
3182- Fixed a bug where dhcrelay was sending relayed responses back to the
3183 broadcast address, but with the source's unicast mac address. Should
3184 now conform to rfc2131 section 4.1.
3185
3186- Cross-compile bug fix; use $(AR) instead of ar. Thanks to Morten Brorup.
3187
3188- Fixed a crash bug in dhclient where dhcpd servers that do not provide
3189 renewal times results in an FPE. As a side effect, dhclient can now
3190 properly handle 0xFFFFFFFF (-1) expiry times supplied by servers. Thanks
3191 to a patch from Burt Silverman.
3192
3193- The 'ping timeout' debugs from rc12 were removed to -DDEBUG only,
45d545f0 3194 and reformatted to correct a compilation error on Solaris platforms.
98311e4b
DH
3195
3196- A patch was applied which fixes a case where leases read from the
3197 leases database do not properly over-ride previously read leases.
3198
3199- dhcpctl.3 manpage was tweaked.
3200
3201 Changes since 3.0.1rc11
3202
3203- A patch from Steve Campbell was applied with minor modifications to
3204 permit reverse dns PTR record updates with values containing spaces.
3205
3206- A patch from Florian Lohoff was applied with some modifications to
3207 dhcrelay. It now discards packets whose hop count exceeds 10 by default,
3208 and a command-line option (-c) can be used to set this threshold.
3209
3210- A failover bug relating to identifying peers by name length instead of
3211 by name was fixed.
3212
45d545f0 3213- Declaring failover configs within shared-network statements should no
98311e4b
DH
3214 longer result in error.
3215
3216- The -nw command line option to dhclient now works.
3217
3218- Thanks to a patch from Michael Richardson:
3219 - Some problems with long option processing have been fixed.
3220 - Some fixes to minires so that updates of KEY records will work.
3221
3222- contrib/ms2isc was updated by Shu-Min Chang of the Intel Corporation.
3223 see contrib/ms2isc/readme.txt for revision notes.
3224
3225- Dhclient no longer uses shell commands to kill another instance of
3226 itself, it sends the signal directly. Thanks to a patch from Martin
3227 Blapp.
3228
3229- The FreeBSD dhclient-script was changed so that a failure to write to
3230 /etc/resolv.conf does not prematurely end the script. This keeps dhclient
3231 from looping infinitely when this is the case. Thanks to a patch from
3232 Martin Blapp.
3233
3234- A patch from Bill Stephens was applied which resolves a problem with lease
3235 expiry times in failover configurations.
3236
3237- A memory leak in configuration parsing was closed thanks to a patch from
3238 Steve G.
3239
3240- The function which discovers interfaces will now skip non-broadcast or
3241 point-to-point interfaces, thanks to a patch from David Brownlee.
3242
3243- Options not yet known by the dhcpd or dhclient have had their names
3244 changed such that they do not contain # symbols, in case they should ever
3245 appear in a lease file. An option that might have been named "#144" is
3246 now "unknown-144".
3247
3248- Another patch from Bill Stephens which allows the ping-check timeout to
3249 be configured as 'ping-timeout'. Defaults to 1.
3250
3251 Changes since 3.0.1rc10
3252
3253- Potential buffer overflows in minires repaired.
3254
3255- A change to the linux client script to use /bin/bash, since /bin/sh may
3256 not be bash.
3257
3258- Some missing va_end cleanups thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
3259
3260- A correction of boolean parsing syntax validation - some illegal syntaxes
3261 that worked before are now detected and produce errs, some legal syntaxes
3262 that errored before will now work properly.
3263
3264- Some search-and-replace errors that caused some options to change their
3265 names was repaired.
3266
3267- Shu-min Chang of the Intel corporation has contributed a perl script and
3268 module that converts the MS NT4 DHCP configuration to a ISC DHCP3
3269 configuration file.
3270
3271- Applied the remainder of the dhcpctl memory leak patch provided by Bill
3272 Squier at ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
3273
3274- Missing non-optional failover peer configurations will now result in a soft
3275 error rather than a null dereference.
3276
3277 Changes since 3.0.1rc9
3278
3279- A format string was corrected to fix compiler warnings.
3280
3281- A number of spelling corrections were made in the man pages.
3282
3283- The dhclient.conf.5 man page was changed to refer to do-forward-updates
3284 rather than a configuration option that doesn't exist.
3285
3286- A FreeBSD-specific bug in the interface removal handling was fixed.
3287
3288- A Linux-specific Token Ring detection problem was fixed.
3289
3290- Hashes removed from as-yet-unknown agent options, having those options
3291 appear in reality before we know about them will no longer produce
3292 self-corrupting lease databases.
3293
3294- dhclient will use the proper port numbers now when using the -g option.
3295
3296- A order-of-operations bug with 2 match clauses in 1 class statement is
3297 fixed thanks to a patch from Andrew Matheson.
3298
3299- Compilation problems on Solaris were fixed.
3300
3301- Compilation problems when built with DEBUG or DEBUG_PACKET were repaired.
3302
3303- A fix to the dhcp ack process which makes certain group options will be
3304 included in the first DHCPOFFER message was made thanks to a patch from
3305 Ling Gou.
3306
3307- A few memory leaks were repaired thanks to patches from Bill Squier at
3308 ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
3309
3310- A fix for shared-networks that sometimes give clients options for the
3311 wrong subnets (in particular, 'option routers') was applied, thanks to
3312 Ted Lemon for the patch.
3313
3314- Omshell's handling of dotted octets as values was changed such that dots
3315 one after the other produce zero values in the integer string.
3316
3317 Changes since 3.0.1rc8
3318
3319- Fix a format string vulnerability in the server that could lead to a
3320 remote root compromise (discovered by NGSEC Research Team, www.ngsec.com).
3321
3322- Add additional support for NetBSD/sparc64.
3323
3324- Fix a bug in the command-line parsing of the client. Also, resolve
3325 a memory leak.
3326
3327- Add better support for shells other than bash in the Linux client
3328 script.
3329
3330- Various build fixes for modern versions of FreeBSD and Linux.
3331
3332- Fix a bad bounds check when printing binding state names.
3333
3334- Clarify documentation about fixed-address and multiple addresses.
3335
3336- Fix a typo in the authoritative error message.
3337
3338- Make a log entry when we can't write a billing class.
3339
3340- Use conversion targets that are the right size on all architectures.
3341
3342- Increment the hop count when relaying.
3343
3344- Log a message when lease state is changed through OMAPI.
3345
3346- Don't rerun the shared_network when evaluating the pool.
3347
3348- Fix a reversed test in the parser.
3349
3350- Change the type of rbuf_max.
3351
3352- Make FTS_LAST a manifest constant to quiet warnings.
3353
3354 Changes since 3.0.1rc7
3355
3356- Fix two compiler warnings that are generated when compiling on Solaris
3357 with gcc. These stop the build, even though they weren't actually
3358 errors, because we prefer that our builds generate no warnings.
3359
3360 Changes since 3.0.1rc6
3361
3362- Don't allow a lease that's in the EXPIRED, RELEASED or RESET state
3363 to be renewed.
3364
3365- Implement lease stealing for cases where the primary has fewer leases
3366 than the secondary, as called for by the standard.
3367
3368- Add a fudge factor to the lease expiry acceptance code, (suggested
3369 by Kevin Miller of CMU).
3370
3371- Fix a bug in permit_list_match that made it much too willing to say
3372 that two permit lists matched.
3373
3374- Unless DEBUG_DNS_UPDATES is defined, print more user-friendly (and
3375 also more compact) messages about DNS updates.
3376
3377- Fix a bug in generating wire-format domain names for the FQDN option.
3378
3379- Fix a bug where the FQDN option would not be returned if the client
3380 requested it, contrary to the standard.
3381
3382- On Darwin, use the FreeBSD DHCP client script.
3383
3384- On NetBSD/sparc, don't check for casting warnings.
3385
3386- Add a flag in the DHCP client to disable updating the client's A
3387 record when sending an FQDN option indicating that the client is
3388 going to update its A record.
3389
3390- In the client, don't attempt a DNS update until one second after
3391 configuring the new IP address, and if the update times out, keep
3392 trying until a response, positive or negative, is received from the
3393 DNS server.
3394
3395- Fix an uninitialized memory bug in the DHCP client.
3396
3397- Apply some FreeBSD-specific bug fixes suggested by Murray Stokely.
3398
3399- Fix a bug in ns_parserr(), where it was returning the wrong sort
3400 of result code in some cases (suggested by Ben Harris of the
3401 NetBSD project).
3402
3403- Fix a bug in is_identifier(), where it was checking against EOF
3404 instead of the END_OF_FILE token (also suggested by Ben Harris).
3405
3406- Fix a bug where if an option universe contained no options, the
3407 DHCP server could dump core (Walter Steiner).
3408
3409- Fix a bug in the handling of encapsulated options.
3410
3411- Fix a bug that prevented NWIP suboptions from being processed.
3412
3413- Delete the FTS_BOOTP and FTS_RESERVED states and implement them
3414 as modifier flags to the FTS_ACTIVE state, as called for in the
3415 failover protocol standard.
3416
3417- Fix bugs in the pool merging code that resulted in references and
3418 dereferences of null pointers. This bug had no impact unless the
3419 POINTER_DEBUG flag was defined.
3420
3421- In the server, added a do-forward-updates flag that can be used to
3422 disable forward updates in all cases, so that sites that want the
3423 clients to take sole responsibility for updating their A record can
3424 do so.
3425
3426- Make it possible to disable optimization of PTR record updates.
3427
3428 Changes since 3.0.1rc5
3429
3430- Include some new documentation and changes provided by Karl Auer.
3431
3432- Add a workaround for some Lexmark printers that send a double-NUL-
3433 terminated host-name option, which would break DNS updates.
3434
3435- Fix an off-by-one error in the MAC-address checking code for
3436 DHCPRELEASE that was added in 3.0.1rc5.
3437
3438- Fix a bug where client-specific information was not being discarded
3439 from the lease when it expired or was released, resulting in
3440 problems if the lease was reallocated to a different client.
3441
3442- If more than one allocation pool is specified that has the same set
3443 of constraints as another allocation pool on the same shared
3444 network, merge the two pools.
3445
3446- Don't print an error in fallback_discard, since this just causes
3447 confusion and does not appear to be helping to encourage anyone to
3448 fix this bug.
3449
3450 Changes since 3.0.1rc4
3451
3452- Fix a bug that would cause the DHCP server to spin if asked to parse
3453 a certain kind of incorrect statement.
3454
3455- Fix a related bug that would prevent an error from being reported in
3456 the same case.
3457
3458- Additional documentation.
3459
3460- Make sure that the hardware address matches the lease when
3461 processing a DHCPRELEASE message.
3462
3463 Changes since 3.0.1rc3
3464
3465- A minor bug fix in the arguments to a logging function call.
3466- Documentation update for dhcpd.conf.
3467
adbef119 3468 Changes since 3.0.1rc2
98311e4b
DH
3469
3470- Allow the primary to send a POOLREQ message. This isn't what the current
3471 failover draft says to do, so we may have to back it out if I can't get the
3472 authors to relent, but the scheme for balancing that's specified in the
3473 current draft seems needlessly hairy, so I'm floating a trial balloon.
3474 The rc1 code did not implement the method described in the draft either.
3475
adbef119 3476 Changes since 3.0.1rc1
98311e4b
DH
3477
3478- Treat NXDOMAIN and NXRRSET as success when we are trying to delete a
3479 domain or RRSET. This allows the DHCP server to forget about a name
3480 it added to the DNS once it's been removed, even if the DHCP server
3481 wasn't the one that removed it.
3482
3483- Install defaults for failover maximum outstanding updates and maximum
3484 silent time. This prevents problems that might occur if these values
3485 were not configured.
3486
3487- Don't do DDNS deletes if ddns-update-style is none.
3488
3489- Return relay agent information options in DHCPNAK. This prevents DHCPNAK
3490 messages from being dropped when the relay agent information option contains
3491 routing information.
3492
3493- Fix a problem where coming up in recover wouldn't result in an update
3494 request being sent.
3495
3496- Add some more chatty messages when we start a recovery update and when it's
3497 done.
3498
3499- Fix a possible problem where some state might have been left around
3500 after the peer lost contact and regained contact about how many updates
3501 were pending.
3502
3503- Don't nix a lease update because of a lease conflict. This test has
3504 never (as far as I know) prevented a mistake, and it appears to cause
3505 problems with failover.
3506
3507- Add support in rc history code for keeping a selective history, rather
3508 than a history of all references and dereferences. This code is only used
3509 when extensive additional debugging is enabled.
3510
adbef119 3511 Changes since 3.0
98311e4b
DH
3512
3513- Make allocators for hash tables. As a side effect, this fixes a memory
3514 smash in the subclass allocation code.
3515
3516- Fix a small bug in omshell where if you try to close an object when
3517 no object is open, it dumps core.
3518
3519- Fix an obscure coredump that could occur on shutdown.
3520
3521- Fix a bug in the recording of host declaration rubouts in the lease file.
3522
3523- Fix two potential spins in the host deletion code.
3524
3525- Fix a core dump that would happen if an application tried to update
3526 a host object attribute with a null value.
3527
3528 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 12
3529
3530- Fix a memory leak in the evaluation code.
3531
3532- Fix an obscure core dump.
3533
3534- Print a couple of new warnings when parsing the configuration file
3535 when crucial information is left out.
3536
3537- Log "no free leases" as an error.
3538
3539- Documentation updates.
3540
3541 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 11
3542
3543- Always return a subnet selection option if one is sent.
3544
3545- Fix a warning that was being printed because an automatic data
3546 structure wasn't zeroed.
3547
3548- Fix some failover state transitions that were being handled
3549 incorrectly.
3550
3551- When supersede_lease is called on a lease whose end time has already
3552 expired, but for which a state transition has not yet been done, do
3553 a state transition. This fixes the case where if the secondary
3554 allocated a lease to a client and the lease "expired" while the
3555 secondary was in partner-down, no expiry event would actually
3556 happen, so the lease would remain active until the primary was
3557 restarted.
3558
3559 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 10
3560
3561- Fix a bug that was preventing released leases from changing state
3562 in failover-enabled pools.
3563
3564- Fix a core dump in the client identifier finder code (for host
3565 declarations).
3566
3567- Finish fixing a bug where bogus data would sometimes get logged to
3568 the dhclient.leases file because it was opened as descriptor 2.
3569
3570- Fix the Linux dhclient-script according to suggestions made by
3571 several people on the dhcp-client mailing list.
3572
3573- Log successful DNS updates at LOG_INFO, not LOG_ERROR.
3574
3575- Print an error message and refuse to run if a failover peer is
3576 defined but not referenced by any pools.
3577
3578- Correct a confusing error message in failover.
3579
eaf0b302

3584 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8 Patchlevel 2
3585
3586- Fix a bug that prevented update-static-leases from working.
3587
3588- Document failover-state OMAPI object.
3589

d758ad8c
TL
3592 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8 Patchlevel 1
3593
3594- Fix a parsing bug that broke dns updates (both interim and ad-hoc).
3595 This was introduced in rc8pl1 as an unintended result of the memory
3596 leakage fixes that were in pl1.
3597
3598- Fix a long-standing bug where the server would record that an update
3599 had been done for a client with no name, even though no update had
3600 been done, and then when the client's lease expired the deletion of
3601 that nonexistant record would time out because the name was the null
9a111ee8 3602 string.
d758ad8c
TL
3603
3604- Clean up the omshell, dhcpctl and omapi man pages a bit.

TL
3606 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8
3607
3608- Fix a bug that could cause the DHCP server to spin if
3609 one-lease-per-client was enabled.
3610
3611- Fix a bug that was causing core dumps on BSD/os in the presence of
3612 malformed packets.
3613
3614- In partner-down state, don't restrict lease lengths to MCLT.
3615
3616- On the failover secondary, record the MCLT received from the primary
3617 so that if we come up without a connection to the primary we don't
3618 wind up giving out zero-length leases.
3619
3620- Fix some compilation problems on BSD/os.
3621
3622- Fix a bunch of memory leaks.
3623
3624- Fix a couple of bugs in the option printer.
3625
3626- Fix an obscure error reporting bug in the dns update code, and also
3627 make the message clearer when a key algorithm isn't supported.
3628
3629- Fix a bug in the tracing code that prevented trace runs that used
3630 tcp connections from being played back.
3631
3632- Add some additional debugging capability for catching memory leaks
3633 on exit.
3634
3635- Make the client release the lease correctly on shutdown.
3636
3637- Add some configurability to the build system.
3638
3639- Install omshell manual page in man1, not man8.
3640
3641- Craig Gwydir sent in a patch that fixes a long-standing bug in the
3642 DHCP client that could cause core dumps, but that for some reason
3643 hadn't been noticed until now.
3644
3645 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 7
3646
3647- Fix a bug in failover where we weren't sending updates after a
3648 transition from communications-interrupted to normal.
3649
3650- Handle expired/released/reset -> free transition according to the
3651 protocol specification (this works - the other way not only wasn't
3652 conformant, but also didn't work).
3653
3654- Add a control object in both client and server that allows either
3655 daemon to be shut down cleanly.
3656
3657- When writing a lease, if we run out of disk space, shut down the
3658 output file and insist on writing a new one before proceeding.
3659
3660- In the server, if the OMAPI listener port is occupied, keep trying
3661 to get it, rather than simply giving up and exiting.
3662
3663- Support fetching variables from leases and also updating and adding
3664 variables to leases via OMAPI.
3665
3666- If two failover peers have wildly different clocks, refuse to start
3667 doing failover.
3668
3669- Fix a bug in the DNS update code that could cause core dumps when
3670 running on alpha processors.
3671
3672- Fixed a bug in ddns updates for static lease entries, thanks to a
3673 patch from Andrey M Linkevitch.
3674
3675- Add support for Darwin/MacOS X
3676
3677- Install omshell (including new documentation).
3678
3679- Support DNS updates in the client (this is a very obscure feature
3680 that most DHCP client users probably will not be able to use).
3681
3682- Somewhat cleaner status logging in the client.
3683
3684- Make OMAPI key naming syntax compatible with the way keys are
3685 actually named (key names are domain names).
3686
3687- Fix a bug in the lease file writer.
3688
3689- Install DHCP ISC headers in a different place than BIND 9 ISC
3690 headers, to avoid causing trouble in BIND 9 builds.
3691
3692- Don't send updates for attributes on an object when the attributes
3693 haven't changed. Support deleting attributes on remote objects.
3694
3695- Fix a number of bugs in omshell, and add the unset and refresh
3696 statements.
3697
3698- Handle disconnects in OMAPI a little bit more intelligently (so that
3699 the caller gets ECONNRESET instead of EINVAL).
3700
3701- Fix a bunch of bugs in the handling of clients that have existing
3702 leases when the try to renew their leases while failover is
3703 operating.
3704
eaf0b302
TL
3705 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 6
3706
3707- Fix a core dump that could happen when processing a DHCPREQUEST from
3708 a client that had a host declaration that contained both a
3709 fixed-address declaration and a dhcp-client-identifier option
3710 declaration, if the client identifier was longer than nine bytes.
3711
3712- Fix a memory leak that could happen in certain obscure cases when
3713 using omapi to manipulate leases.
3714
3715- Fix some bugs and omissions in omshell.
3716

TL
3717 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 5
3718
3719- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that prevented objects in
3720 chains from having their reference counts decreased on dereference.
3721
3722- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that would prevent object
3723 chains from being freed upon removal of the last reference external
3724 to the chain.
3725
3726- Fix a number of other memory leaks in the OMAPI protocol subsystem.
3727
3728- Add code in the OMAPI protocol handler to trace memory leakage.
3729
3730- Clean up the memory allocation/reference history printer.
3731
98311e4b 3732- Support input of dotted quads and colon-separated hex lists as
eaf0b302

3740
3741- Fix a bug that would prevent leases from being abandoned properly on
3742 DHCPDECLINE.
3743
3744- Fix failover peer OMAPI support.
3745
3746- In failover, correctly handle expiration of leases. Previously,
3747 leases would never be reclaimed because they couldn't make the
3748 transition from EXPIRED to FREE.
3749
3750- Fix some broken failover state transitions.
3751
3752- Documentation fixes.
3753
3754- Take out an unnecessary check in DHCP relay agent information option
3755 stashing code that was preventing REBINDING clients from rebinding.
3756
3757- Prevent failover peers from allocating leases in DHCPREQUEST
3758 processing if the lease belongs to the other server.
3759
3760- Record server version in lease file introductory comment.
3761
3762- Correctly report connection errors in OMAPI and failover.
3763
3764- Make authentication signature algorithm name comparisons in OMAPI
3765 case-insensitive.
3766
3767- Fix compile problem on SunOS 4.x
3768
98311e4b 3769- If a signature algorithm is not terminated with '.', terminate it so
eaf0b302
TL
3770 that comparisons between fully-qualified names will work
3771 consistently.
3772
3773- Different SIOCGIFCONF probe code, may "fix" problem on some Linux
3774 systems with the probe not working correctly.
3775
3776- Don't allow user to type omapi key on command line of omshell.

TL
3778 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 3
3779
3780- Do lease billing on startup in a way that I *think* will finally do
3781 the billing correctly - the previous method could overbill as a
3782 result of duplicate leases.

TL
3786 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 2 Patchlevel 1

3788- Fix some problems in the DDNS update code. Thanks to Albert
3789 Herranz for figuring out the main problem.
3790
3791- Fix some reference counting errors on host entries that were causing
3792 core dumps.
3793
3794- Fix a byte-swap bug in the token ring code, thanks to Jochen
3795 Friedrich.
3796
3797- Fix a bug in lease billing, thanks to Jonas Bulow.
3798
3799 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 2
3800
3801- Change the conditions under which a DHCPRELEASE is actually
3802 committed to be consistent with lease binding states rather than
98311e4b 3803 using the lease end time. This may fix some problems with the
892fe689
TL
3804 billing class code.
3805
3806- Fix a bug where lease updates would fail on Digital Unix (and maybe
3807 others) because malloc was called with a size of zero.
3808
3809- Fix a core dump that happens when the DHCP server can't create its
3810 trace file.
3811
79ea3de8 3812 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 1 Patchlevel 1
87784777 3813
79ea3de8
TL
3814- Fix the dhcp_failover_put_message to not attempt to allocate a
3815 zero-length buffer. Some versions of malloc() fail if you try to
3816 allocate a zero-length buffer, and this was causing problems on,
3817 e.g., Digital Unix.
3818
3819- Fix a case where the failover code was printing an error message
3820 when no error had occurred.
3821
3822- Fix a problem where when a server went down and back up again, the
3823 peer would not see a state transition and so would stay in the
3824 non-communicating state.
3825
3826- Be smart about going into recover_wait.
3827
3828- Fix a problem in the failover implementation where peers would fail
3829 to come into sync if interrupted in the RECOVER state. This could
3830 have been the cause of some problems people have reported recently.
3831
3832- Fix a problem with billing classes where they would not be unbilled
3833 when the client lease expired.
3834
3835- If select fails, figure out which descriptor is bad, and cut it out
3836 of the I/O loop. This prevents a potentially nasty spin. I
3837 haven't heard any report it in a while, but it came up consistently
3838 in testing.
3839
3840- Fix a bug in the relay agent where if you specified interfaces on
3841 the command line, it would fail.
3842
3843- Fix a couple of small bugs in the omapi connection object (no known
3844 user impact).
3845

3849 they're executable.

3854 ANY SITE AT WHICH FIXED-ADDRESS STATEMENTS ARE BEING USED SHOULD

3861- There is a known problem with the DHCP server doing failover on
3862 Compaq Alpha systems. This patchlevel is not a release candidate
3863 because of this bug. The bug should be straightforward to fix, so
3864 a new release candidate is expected shortly.
3865
3866- There is a known problem in the DDNS update code that is probably a
3867 bug, and is not, as far as we know, fixed in this patchlevel.

3870
3871- Went over problematic failover state transitions and made them all
3872 work, so that failover should now much less fragile.
3873
3874- Add some dhcpctl and omapi documentation
3875
3876- Fix compile errors when compiling with unusual predefines.
3877
3878- Make Token Ring work on Linux 2.4

3889
3890- Fix a bug in the DNS update code where a status code was not being
3891 checked. This may have been causing core dumps.
3892
3893- When parsing the lease file, if a lease declaration includes a
3894 billing class statement, and the lease already has a billing class,
3895 unbill the old class.
3896
3897- When processing failover transactions, where acks will be deferred,
3898 process the state transition immediately.
3899
3900- Don't try to use the new SIOCGIFCONF buffer size detection code on
3901 Linux 2.0, which doesn't provide this functionality.
3902
3903- Apply a patch suggested by Tuan Uong for a problem in dlpi.c.
3904
3905- Fix a problem in using the which command in the configure script.
3906
3907- Fix a parse error in the client when setting up an omapi listener.
3908
3909- Document the -n and -g flags to the client.
3910
3911- Make sure there is always a stdin and stdout on startup. This
3912 prevents shell scripts from accidentally writing error messages into
3913 configuration files that happen to be opened as stderr.
3914
3915- If an interface is removed, the client will now notice that it is
3916 gone rather than spinning. This has only been tested on NetBSD.
3917
3918- The client will attempt to get an address even if it can't create a
3919 lease file.

3941 pl19.

3944 previous fix only partially fixed the problem - enough to get it
3945 past the regression test.

3965
3966- Implement omshell, which can be used to do arbitrary things to the
3967 server (in theory). (Damien Neil)
3968
3969- Fix a case where if a client had two different leases the server could
3970 actually dereference the second one when it hadn't been referenced,
3971 leading to memory corruption and a core dump. (James Brister)
3972
3973- Fix a case where a client could request the address of another client's
3974 lease, but find_lease wouldn't detect that the other client had it, and
3975 would attempt to allocate it to the client, resulting in a lease conflict
3976 message.
3977
3978- Fix a case where a client with more than one client identifier could be
3979 given a lease where the hardware address was correct but the client
3980 identifier was not, resulting in a lease conflict message.
3981
98311e4b 3982- Fix a problem where the server could write out a colon-separated
3350f5b7
TL
3983 hex list as a value for a variable, which would then not parse.
3984 The fix is to always write strings as quoted strings, with any
3985 non-printable characters quoted as octal escape sequences. So
3986 a file written the old way still won't work, but new files written
3987 this way will work.

3989- Fix documentation for sending non-standard options.
3990
3991- Use unparsable names for unknown options. WARNING: this will
3992 break any configuration files that use the option-nnn convention.
3993 If you want to continue to use this convention for some options,
3994 please be sure to write a definition, like this:
3995
3996 option option-nnn code nnn = string;
3997
3998 You can use a descriptive name instead of option-nnn if you like.
3999
4000- Fix a problem where we would see a DHCPDISCOVER/DHCPOFFER/
4001 DHCPREQUEST/DHCPACK/DHCPREQUEST/DHCPNAK sequence. This was the
4002 result of a deceptively silly bug in supersede_lease.
4003
4004- Fix client script exit status check, according to a fix supplied by
4005 Hermann Lauer.

TL
4017- Add support for transaction tracing. This allows the state of the
4018 DHCP server on startup, and all the subsequent transactions, to be
4019 recorded in a file which can then be played back to reproduce the
4020 behaviour of the DHCP server. This can be used to quickly
4021 reproduce bugs that cause core dumps or corruption, and also for
4022 tracking down memory leaks.
4023
4024- Incorporate some bug fixes provided by Joost Mulders for the DLPI
4025 package which should clear up problems people have been seeing on
4026 Solaris.
4027
4028- Fix bugs in the handling of options stored as linked lists (agent
4029 options, fqdn options and nwip options) that could cause memory
4030 corruption and core dumps.
4031
4032- Fix a bug in DHCPREQUEST handling that resulted in DHCPNAK messages
4033 not being send in some cases when they were needed.
4034
4035- Make the lease structure somewhat more compact.
4036
4037- Make initial failover startup *much* faster. This was researched
4038 and implemented by Damien Neil.
4039
4040- Add a --version flag to all executables, which prints the program
4041 name and version to standard output.

4077
4078- Finish fixing a long-standing bug in the agent options code. This
4079 was causing core dumps and failing to operate correctly - in
4080 particular, agent option stashing wasn't working. Agent option
4081 stashing should now be working, meaning that agent options can be
4082 used in class statements to control address allocation.
4083
4084- Fix up documentation.
4085
4086- Fix a couple of small memory leaks that would have added up
4087 significantly in a high-demand situation.
4088
4089- Add a log-facility configuration parameter.
4090
4091- Fix a compile error on some older operating systems.
4092
4093- Add the ability in the client to execute certain statements before
4094 transmitting packets to the server. Handy for debugging; not much
4095 practical use otherwise.
4096
4097- Don't send faked-out giaddr when renewing or bound - again, useful
4098 for debugging.

4103 an option with an (unsigned) negative length, resulting in a core
4104 dump on some systems.
4105
4106- Work around the Win98 DHCP client, which NUL-terminates the FQDN
4107 option.
4108
4109- Work around Win98 and Win2k clients that will claim they want to do
4110 the update even when they don't have any way to do it.
4111
4112- Fix some log messages that can be printed when failover is operating
4113 that were not printing enough information.
4114
4115- It was possible for a DHCPDISCOVER to get an allocation even when
4116 the state machine said the server shouldn't be responding.
4117
4118- Don't load balance DHCPREQUESTs from clients in RENEWING and
4119 REBINDING, since in RENEWING, if we heard it, it's for us, and in
4120 REBINDING, the client wouldn't have got to REBINDING if its primary
4121 were answering.
4122

4124 the transition.

4134 decoder that would prevent any key with an 'x' in its base64
4135 representation from working correctly.
4136
4137- Thanks to Chris Cheney and Michael Sanders, we have a fix for the
4138 hang that they both spotted in the DHCP server - when
4139 one-lease-per-client was set, the code to release the "other" lease
4140 could spin.
4141
4142- Fix a problem with alignment of the input buffer in bpf in cases
4143 where two packets arrive in the same bpf read.
4144
4145- Fix a problem where the relay agent would crash if you specified an
4146 interface name on the command line.
4147
4148- Add the ability to conditionalize client behaviour based on the
4149 client state.
4150
4151- Add support for the FQDN option, and added support for a new way of
4152 doing ddns updates (ddns update style interim) that allows more than
4153 one DHCP server to update the DNS for the same network(s). This
4154 was implemented by Damien Neil with some additional functionality
4155 added by Ted Lemon.
4156
4157- Damien added a "log" statement, so that the configuration file can
4158 be made to log debugging information and other information.
4159
4160- Fixed a bug that caused option buffers not to be terminated with an
4161 end option.
4162
4163- Fixed a long-standing bug in the support for option spaces where the
4164 options are stored as an ordered list rather than in a hash table,
4165 which could theoretically result in memory pool corruption.
4166
4167- Prevent hardware declarations with no actual hardware address from
4168 being written as something unparsable, and behave correctly in the
4169 face of a null hardware address on input.
4170
4171- Allow key names to be FQDNs, and qualify the algorithm name if it is
4172 specified unqualified.
4173
4174- Modify the DDNS update code so that it never prints the "resolver
4175 failed" message, but instead says *why* the resolver failed.
4176
4177- Officially support the subnet selection option, which now has an
4178 RFC.
4179
4180- Fix a build bug on MacOS X.
4181

4218 select will just fail if the timeout is too long (!).
4219

4221 silently dropped.

4224 client had the lease, the DHCP server would reallocate it anyway.

4240- Fix a possible DoS attack where a client could cause the checksummer
4241 to dump core. This was a read, not a write, so it shouldn't be
4242 possible to exploit it any further than that.
4243
4244- Implement client- and server-side support for using the Client FQDN
4245 option.
4246
4247- Support for other option spaces in the client has been added. This
4248 means that it is now possible to define a vendor option space on the
4249 client, request options in that space from the server (which must
4250 define the same option space), and then use those options in the
4251 client. This also allows NWIP and Client FQDN options to be used
4252 meaningfully.
4253
4254- Add object initializer support. This means that objects can now be
4255 initialized to something other than all-zeros when allocated, which
4256 makes, e.g., the interface object support code a little more robust.
4257
4258- Fix an off-by-one bug in the host stuffer. This was causing host
4259 deletes not the work, and may also have been causing OMAPI
4260 connections to get dropped. Thanks to James Brister for tracking
4261 this one down!
