13The areas of focus for ISC DHCP 4.4.0 were:
14
151. Dynamic DNS additions
162. dhclient improvements
173. Support for dynamic shared libraries
18
19Dynamic DNS Improvements:
20
21- We added three new server configuration parameters which influence DDNS
22 conflict resolution:
23
24 1. ddns-dual-stack-mixed-mode - alters DNS conflict resolution behavior
25 to mitigate issues with non-compliant clients in dual stack environments.
26
27 2. ddns-guard-id-must-match - relaxes the DHCID RR client id matching
28 requirement of DNS conflict resolution.
29
30 3. ddns-other-guard-is-dynamic - alters dual-stack-mixed-mode behavior to
31 allow unguarded DNS entries to be overwritten in certain cases
32
33- The server now honors update-static-leases parameter for static DHCPv6
34 hosts.
35
36dhclient Improvements:
37
a804fcc0 38 - We've added three command line parameters to dhclient:
397599cb
TM
39
40 1. --prefix-len-hint - directs dhclient to use the given length as
41 the prefix length hint when requesting prefixes
42
a804fcc0 43 2. --decline-wait-time - instructs the client to wait the given number
397599cb
TM
44 of seconds after declining an IPv4 address before issuing a discover
45
a804fcc0
TM
46 3. --address-prefix-len - specifies the prefix length passed by dhclient
47 into the client script (via the environment variable ip6_prefixlen) with
48 each IPv6 address. We added this parameter because we have changed the
49 default value from 64 to 128 in order to be compliant with RFC3315bis
50 draft (-09, page 64) and RFC5942, Section 4, point 1.
51 **WARNING**: The new default value of 128 may not be backwardly compatible
52 with your environment. If you are operating without a router, such as
7932503f 53 between VMs on a host, you may find they cannot see each other with prefix
a804fcc0
TM
54 length of 128. In such cases, you'll need to either provide routing or use
55 the command line parameter to set the value to 64. Alternatively you may
56 change the default at compile time by setting DHCLIENT_DEFAULT_PREFIX_LEN
57 in includes/site.h.
58
397599cb
TM
59 - dhclient will now generate a DHCPv6 DECLINE message when the client script
60 indicates a DAD failure
61
62Dynamic shared library support:
63
64 Configure script, configure.ac+lt, which supports libtool is now provided
65 with the source tar ball. This script can be used to configure ISC DHCP
9de870cc 66 to build with libtool and thus use dynamic shared libraries.

TM
68Other Highlights:
69
70 - The server now supports dhcp-cache-threshold for DHCPv6 operations
71 - The server now supports DHPv6 address allocation based on EUI-64 DUIDs
72 - Experimental support for alternate relay port in the both the server
73 and relay for IPv4, IPv6 and 4o6 (see: draft-ietf-dhc-relay-port-10.txt)

TM
93
94- A delayed-ack value of 0 (the default), now correctly disables the delayed
95 feature. A change in 4.4.0 prohibited lease updates marking leases active
96 from be written to the lease file when delayed-ack is 0. This in turn,
97 caused servers to lose active lease assignments upon restart.

100! Option reference count was not correctly decremented in error path
101 when parsing buffer for options. Reported by Felix Wilhelm, Google
102 Security Team.

104 CVE: CVE-2018-xxxx
105
d394b602
TM
106 Changes since 4.4.0b1 (New Features)
107
108- Duplicate address detection when binding to a new IPv6 address was added
109 to the following dhclient scripts: linux,freebsd,netbsd,openbsd, and macos.
110 The scripts will check for DAD errors after binding to a new IPv6 address
111 for at most --dad-wait-time seconds. If a DAD error is detected the script
112 will exit with a value of 3, instructing dhclient to decline the address. If
113 dad-wait-time is zero (the default), DAD error checking is not peformed.
114 [ISC-Bugs 46805]
115
efd3b1e2
TM
116- Support for sending and receiving additional DHCP4 options has been added
117 to both the dhcpd and dhclient. Specifically: option codes 93,94, and 97
118 (RFC 4578); code 150 (RFC 5859); and codes 209,219, and 211 (RFC 5071).
119 Beyond configuring, sending, requesting, and receiving these options neither
120 server nor client apply any additional logic based on their values.
121 Thanks to Peter Lewis for requesting this change.

123
d638452e
TM
124 Changes since 4.4.0b1 (Bug Fixes)
125
126- Added clarifying text to dhcpd.conf.5 explaining the class match expressions
127 cannot rely on the results of executable statements.
128 [ISC-Bugs #45451]
129
db4e4aa2
TM
130- Fixed a bug which causes dhcpd and dhclient to crash on certain
131 systems when given relative path names for lease or pid files on
132 the command line. Affected systems are those on which the C library
133 function, realpath() does not support a second parameter value of
134 NULL (see manpages for realpath(3)).
135 [ISC-Bugs #46957]
136
b94669fa
TM
137- Fixed a build issue when building with embedded BIND9 under OpenBSD that
138 was causing BIND9 build to not generate dns/enumclass.h and dns/enumtype.h.
139 [ISC-Bugs #46971]
140
de964f22
TM
141- Added <dhcp>/m4/README to the distribution tarball. Some versions of
142 ac_local() treat the absence of the m4 subdirectory as error rather than
143 warning. This was causing the call to autoreconf, necessary for building
144 with libtool, to fail.
145 [ISC-Bugs #47075]
146
4aa6129a 147 Changes since 4.4.0a1 (New Features)
7512d88b 148
4aa6129a
TM
149- Added experimental support for relay port (draft-ietf-dhc-relay-port-10.txt)
150 feature for DHCPv4, DHCPv6 and DHCPv4-over-DHCPv6. Relay port has to be
151 enabled at compile time via --enable-relay-port and is fully backward
152 compatible (i.e. works with previous implementations of servers and relays
153 using the standard ports). A new --rp <relay-port> command line option
154 specifies to dhcrelay an alternate source port for upstream (i.e. toward
155 the server) messages. Thanks to Naiming Shen and Enke Chen of Cisco
156 systems for submitting these patches.
157 [ISC-Bugs #44535]
158
159- Added --release-on-roam to dhcpd server. When enabled and the server detects
160 that a DHCPv6 client (IAID+DUID) has roamed to a new network, it will release
161 the pre-existing leases on the old network and emit a log statement similar
162 to the following:
163
164 "Client: <id> roamed to new network, releasing lease: <address>"
165
166 The server will carry out all of the same steps that would normally occur
167 when a client explicitly releases a lease. This behavior is disabled by
168 default and may only be specified globally. Prior to this the server renders
169 the leases unavailable until they expire or the server is restarted. Clients
170 that need leases in multiple networks must supply a unique IAID in each IA.
171 When release-on-roam is disabled (the default) the server maintains the
172 prior behavior of making such leases unavailable until they expire or the
173 server is restarted. Clients that need leases in multiple networks must
174 supply a unique IAID in each IA. This parameter may only be specified at
175 the global level. Thanks to Fernando Soto from BlueCat Networks for
176 suggesting this change.
177 [ISC-Bugs #44576]
178 [ISC-Bugs #46849]
179
180- Support for delayed-ack is now compiled in by default. Prior to this
181 it had to be enabled at compile time via --enable-delayed-acks. The
182 default value for delayed-ack, however, has been changed from 28 to 0
183 (i.e. disabled). This was done to minimize the impact on users not
184 currently using the feature. Please note that the delayed-ack feature
185 is not currently compatible with support for DHPCv4-over-DHCPv6 so
186 when a 4to6 port command line argument enables this in the server the
187 delayed-ack value is reset to 0.
188 [ISC-Bugs #42446]
189
190- The server (-6) now honors the parameter, update-static-leases, for static
191 (fixed-address6) DHCPv6 leases. It is worth noting that because stateful
192 data is not retained by the server for static leases, each time a client
193 requests or renews a static lease, the server will perform DDNS updates for
194 it. This may have significant performance implications for environments
195 with many clients that request or renew static leases often. Similarly,
196 the DNS entries will not be removed by server when a client issues a RELEASE
197 nor if the lease is deleted from the configuration. In such cases the DNS
198 entries must be removed manually. This feature is disabled by default.
199 Thanks to both Bill Shirley and dgutier-at-cern-dot-ch for requesting
200 this change.
201 [ISC-Bugs #34097]
202 [ISC-Bugs #41054]
203 [ISC-Bugs #41450]
204
205- Added to the server (-6) a new statement, local-address6, which specifies
206 the source address of packets sent by the server. An additional flag,
207 bind-local-address6, disabled by default, binds the service socket to
208 to local-address6. Note that bind-local-address does not work with direct
209 clients: a relay has to forward packets to the server using the
210 local-address6 destination.
211 [ISC-Bugs #46084]
212
213 Changes since 4.4.0a1 (Bugs)
214
215- The server now recognizes environment variables PATH_DHCPD_DB and
216 PATH_DHCPD_PID. These had been incorrectly compiled out of the code
217 unless DHCPv6 support was disabled. Additionally, the server man
218 pages were corrected to accurately reflect how the server chooses
219 file names (see lease-file-name and pid-file-name statements). Thanks
7932503f
TM
220 to Fernando Soto at Bluecat Networks for bringing this matter to our
221 attention.

222 [ISC-Bugs #46859]
223
224- Removed an "Impossible condition" error upon exit in the dhcpd server that
225 has been shutdown via OMAPI. This condition was only apparent under Solaris
226 when building with --enable-use-sockets and --enable-ipv4-pktinfo.
227 [ISC-Bugs #36118]
228
65eed5c1 229- Corrected some minor Coverity issues: CID 1426059, 1426058, and 1426057.

3210786b 236
f9741514
FD
237- Added --enable-bind-install to install embedded bind includes and
238 libraries. Default is to not install them (it was the previous
239 behavior). If you'd like to change the includedir and/or libdir
5a67b030
FD
240 installation directories to something different than for ISC DHCP
241 you must pass them using the --with-bind-extra-config configuration
242 arguments.
f9741514
FD
243 [ISC-Bugs #39318]
244
007ba82a
FD
245- Added support of dynamic shared libraries with libtool. A new
246 --enable-libtool configuration parameter is available but
247 should not be used directly: *please* read the build configuration
248 section in the README file for the recommended procedure.
249 [ISC-Bugs #29402]
250
417b7b4a
TM
251- IPv6 operation now supports an EUI-64 based address allocation which will
252 calculate addresses for clients with EUI-64 DUIDs based on those DUIDs when
253 enabled by setting use-eui-64 true. The parameter may defined down to the
254 pool scope. Note this feature must be compiled in by defining EUI_64 in
255 includes/site.h. This flag is undefined by default.
256 [ISC-Bugs #43927]
257
b3e6fd51
TM
258- The directory includes/isc-dhcp and it's only occupant, dst.h, have
259 been removed from the source tree. They are obsolete for branches
260 other than v4_1_esv.
261 [ISC-bugs #45541]
262
7512d88b
TM
263- Replaced ISC licensing with Mozilla Public License, MPL 2.0 licensing
264 throughout. Please see https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/MPL/2.0/ to read
265 the MPL 2.0 license terms.
266 [ISC-Bugs #45541]
267
3e985dbf
TM
268- Load balancing for failover peers can now be disabled by setting
269 "load balance max secs" to 0. Doing so for both peers means both
270 servers will respond to all DHCPDISCOVERs or DHCPREQUESTs as soon as
271 they are received.
272 [ISC-Bugs #39669]
273
c0e9661e
TM
274- Added a new dhclient command line parameter, --prefix-len-hint <length>.
275 When used in conjunction with -P, it directs dhclient to use the given
d8805cee
TM
276 length as the prefix length hint when requesting prefixes. Thanks to both
277 Indy, of the FireballISO open source project and H. Peter Anvin for
278 suggesting this change.

TM
283
284- dhclient will now wait for 10 seconds after declining an IPv4 address
285 before issuing a discover. This is in keeping with RFC 2131, section 3.1.5.
286 Prior to this dhclient did not wait at all. The amount of time dhclient
287 waits can be specified via a new command line parameter:
288 --decline-wait-time <seconds>. A value of zero equates to no wait at all.
ecf9f77b 289 Thanks to Pavel Kankovsky for bringing this matter to our attention.

c0e9661e 292
35e86889
TM
293- dhclient will now include the lease address when logging DHCPOFFERs,
294 DHCPREQUESTs, DHCPACKs, DHCPRELEASEs, and DHCPDECLINEs. Additionally,
295 DHCPOFFERs will be logged before their corresponding DHCPREQUESTs are
296 sent and logged.
297 [ISC-Bugs #2729]
298
d6057334
TM
299- When given the -T command line argument, in addition to reading the
300 current lease file, the server will write the leases to a temporary
301 lease file. This can help detect issues in server configuration that
302 only surface when leases are written to the file. The current lease
303 file will not be modified and the temporary lease file is removed upon
304 completion of the test.
305 [ISC-Bugs #22267]
306
0f69ff73
TM
307- dhclient will now generate a DHCPv6 DECLINE message containing all IA_NA
308 addresses which for which the client script indicates a DAD failure. After
309 receiving the DECLINE reply, dhclient will restart the solicit process.
310 Note, the client script must exit with a value of 3 to signify that the
311 address failed DAD. Thanks to Jiri Popelka of Red Hat for submitting the
312 patch that was the foundation for this change.

0f69ff73 317
30593241
TM
318- Replaced compilation option, enable-secs-byteorder, with a run-time, server
319 configuration parameter, check-secs-byte-order. When enabled, the
320 server will check for clients that do the byte ordering on the secs field
321 incorrectly. This field should be in network byte order but some clients
322 get it wrong. When this parameter is enabled the server will examine the
323 secs field and if it looks wrong (high byte non zero and low byte zero) swap
324 the bytes. The default is disabled. This parameter is only useful when
325 doing load balancing within failover.
326 [ISC-Bugs #45364]
327
b53ba157
TM
328- The default value for server (-6) parameter, prefix-length-mode, has been
329 changed from "exact" to "prefer". In "prefer" mode the server will offer
330 the first available prefix with the same length as that requested by the
331 client. If none are found then it will offer the first available prefix of
332 any length. This is more in line with with RFC 8168 and should improve
333 the out-of-the-box user experience.

b53ba157
TM
335 [ISC-Bugs #45615]
336
bbdac71d
TM
337- Added support for 'dhcp-cache-threshold' to IPv6 operation: If a client
338 renews before 'dhcp-cache-threshold' percent of its lease has elapsed
339 (default 25%), the server will reuse the allocated lease (provide a
340 lease within the currently allocated lease-time) rather than extend or
341 renew the lease. This allows the server to reply without needlessly
342 writing leases to disk. The preferred and valid lease lifetimes
343 sent to the client will be reduced by the age of the lease. The option
344 may be specified down to the pool level and is supported for all three
345 pool types: NA, TA, and PD.
346 [ISC-Bugs #45292]
347
905c58b9
TM
348- Added three new server configuration parameters which influence DDNS:
349 1. ddns-dual-stack-mixed-mode - alters DNS conflict resolution behavior
350 to mitigate issues with non-compliant clients in dual stack environments.
351
352 2. ddns-guard-id-must-match - relaxes the DHCID RR client id matching
353 requirement of DNS conflict resolution.
354
2f3eca17 355 3. ddns-other-guard-is-dynamic - alters dual-stack-mixed-mode behavior to

TM
361- A "key-algorithm <algorithm>" statement has been added to omshell to
362 allow the specification of the key algorithm to use during transaction
363 authentication. Prior to this it was hard-coded to be hmac-md5. It now
364 supports all of the same algorithms as the dhcpd server: hmac-md5 (the
365 default), hmac-sha1, hmac-sha224, hmac-sha256, hmac-sha384, and hmac-sha512.
366 [ISC-Bugs #46771]
367
c2e5ee28
TM
368- Added a server configuration parameter, persist-eui-64-leases, which
369 determines whether or not EUI-64 based leases are written to the
370 leases file. Default is true.
371 [ISC-Bugs #45046]
372
140612c8 373- Changed the default value of the prefix length passed by dhclient into the
a804fcc0
TM
374 client script for each IPv6 address from 64 to 128. This was done to comply
375 with RFC3315bis draft (-09, page 64) and RFC5942, Section 4, point 1.
376 In addition, dhclient now supports a command line argument,
377 --address-prefix-len, which may be used to override the default value.
378 **WARNING**: This change may not be backwardly compatible with your
379 environment. If you are operating without a router, such as between VMs on
380 a host, you may find they cannot see each with prefix length of 128. In
381 such cases, you'll need to either provide routing or use the command line
382 parameter to set the value to 64. Alternatively you may change the default
383 at compile time by setting DHCLIENT_DEFAULT_PREFIX_LEN in includes/site.h.

f1fc5ede 387- Modified dhclient (-6) to bypass sending a confirm (INIT REBOOT) when it has
a804fcc0 388 only expired address associations. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for

0e76cb91 391 Changes since 4.3.6 (Bugs):
0b0a1399 392
0e76cb91
TM
393- Corrected an issue where the server would return a client's previously
394 released prefix lease even when the client provides a prefix length
395 hint that does not match the prior lease. Now the server will only
396 return the previous lease if it exactly matches the hint. If not
397 it will attempt to allocate a new prefix based on the hint and the
398 prefix-length-mode. Thanks to Tim DeNike - Lightspeed Communications
399 for pointing out the error of our ways.
400 [ISC-bugs #45780]
d1489a35 401
a804fcc0 402- Added explicit include of BIND9 isc/util.h to adapt to revisions
0e76cb91
TM
403 in BIND9 (see BIND9 ticket #46311). Prior to this the build was failing
404 with implicit function declarations errors for POST() and INSIST().
405 [ISC-bugs #46332]
d1489a35 406
0e76cb91
TM
407- Added to code ignore empty IPv4 host name option (code 12). While RFC 2132
408 states the option cannot be empty, some clients are apparently capable of
409 sending it. Prior to this the server was attempting to use it and store it
410 in the lease file causing issues with DDNS and so forth.
411 [ISC-bugs #43786]
d1489a35 412
9de870cc

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

503- When running in -6 mode, dhclient can enforce the require option statement
504 and will discard offered leases that do not contain all the required
505 options specified in the client configuration. If not enabled the client
506 will still consider such leases. This must be enabled at compile time

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

534- The server nows checks both the address and length of a prefix delegation
535 when attempting to match it to a prefix pool. This ensures the server
536 responds properly when pool configurations change such that once valid,
537 "in-pool" delegations are now treated as being invalid. During lease
538 file loading at startup, the server will discard any PD leases that
539 are deemed "out-of-pool" either by address or mis-matched prefix length.
540 Clients seeking to renew or rebind such leases will get a response of
541 No Binding in the case of the former, and the prefix delegation with
542 lifetimes set to zero in the case of the latter. Thanks to Mark Nejedlo

548 by dhclient only if and when the it first attempts an update; and never by
549 dhcrelay. Prior to this all three always did the initialization at startup

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

875 option "--enable-dhcpv4o6". Note this feature requires DHCPv6 support
876 and is not compatible with delayed-ack. Both client and server use 2
877 processes which communicate over UDP on a pair of sockets. The new
878 "-4o6 <port>" command line argument enables DHCPv4 over DHCPv6 support
879 and specifies the consecutive ports to use for inter-process communication.

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

921- The server will now reject unicast Request, Renew, Decline, and Release
922 messages from a client unless the server would have sent that client the
923 dhcp6.unicast option. This behavior is in compliance with paragraph 1 in
924 each of the sections 18.2,1, 18.2.3, 18.2.6, and 18.2.7 of RFC 3315. Prior
925 to this, the server would simply accept the messages. Now, in order for
926 the server to accept such a message, the server configuration must include
927 the dhcp6.unicast option either globally or within the shared network to
928 which the requested lease belongs. In other words, the server will map
929 the first IA_XX address found within the client message to a shared-network
930 and look for the presence of the unicast option there and then globally.

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

953- Write out the DUID server id on startup in all cases, previously if it
954 was read in from server-duid option in the config or lease files for
955 DHCPv4 it would not be written to the new lease file.
956 [ISC-Bugs #37791]
957
958- When parsing dates for leases convert dates past 2038 to "never".
959 This avoids problems with integer overflows in the date and time
960 handling code for people that decide to use very large lease times
961 or add a lease entry with a date far in the future.

976
977- Add support for accessing the v4 lease queues (active, free etc) in a
978 binary fashion instead of needing to walk through a linear list to
979 insert, find or remove an entry from the queues. In addition add a
980 compile time option "--enable-binary-leases" to enable the new code
981 or to continue using the old code. The old code is the default.
982 Thanks to Fernando Soto from BlueCat Networks for the patch.
983 [ISC-Bugs #39078]
984
985- Delayed-ack now works properly with Failover. Prior to this, bind updates
986 post startup were being queued but never delivered. Among other things, this
987 was causing leases to not transition from expired or released to free.
988 [ISC-Bugs #31474]

991 lease file is corrupt in certain ways.

994- Corrected a crash in dhclient that occurs during lease renewal if the
995 client is performing its own DNS updates. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat
996 for the bug report.
997 [ISC-Bugs #38639]
998
999- Corrected an issue in v6 lease file parsing. Prior to this, when encountering
1000 a lease with an address for which no configured pool exists, the server was
1001 declaring the lease file corrupt and incorrectly skipping over the subsequent
1002 entry in the file. The server will now emit a log message indicating that
1003 no pool was found for the address (or prefix) and correctly resume parsing
1004 with the next entry in the lease file. Our thanks to Michal Žejdl for
1005 reporting the issue.
1006 [ISC-Bugs #39314]
1007
1008- Be more liberal in finding a subnet group associated with a static
1009 prefix. When we added the class matching code for v6 we also added
1010 a requirement that the static prefix must be within a subnet the
1011 client was in, in order to find the proper statements. We now
1012 look for a subnet based on the prefix, failing that on the static
1013 address for the client and failing that on the shared network
1014 itself.
1015 [ISC-Bugs #38329]
1016
1017- Add a new action expression "parse_vendor_options", which can be used
1018 to parse a vendor-encapsualted-option received by the server based on
1019 the encoding specified by the vendor-option-space statement.
1020 [ISC-Bugs #36449]
1021
1022- Enhance the PARANOIA patch to include fchown() the lease file to
1023 allow it to be manipulated after the server does a chown().
1024 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the patch.
1025 [ISC-Bugs #36978]
1026
1027- Relax the requirement that prefix pools must be within the subnet.
1028 This was added in as part of #32453 in order to avoid configuration
1029 mistakes but is being removed as prefixes aren't required to be
1030 within the same subnet and many people configure them in that fashion.
1031 [ISC-Bugs #40077]
1032
1033- Fixed a server crash that could occur when the server attempts to remove
1034 the billing class from the last lease billed to a dynamic class after said
1035 class has been deleted. Our thanks to Lasse Pesonen for reporting the
1036 issue.

1075- Corrected a compilation error introduced by the fix for ISC-Bugs #37415.
1076 The error occurs on Linux variants that do not support VLAN tag information
1077 in packet auxiliary data. The configure script now only enables inclusion
1078 of the VLAN tag-based logic if it is supported by the underlying OS.

1081 Changes since 4.3.2b1
1082
1083- Specifying the option, --disable-debug, on the configure script command line
1084 now disables debug features. Prior to this, specifying --disable-debug
1085 incorrectly enabled debug features. Thanks to Gustavo Zacarias for reporting
1086 the issue.
1087 [ISC-Bugs #37780]
1088
1089- Unit test execution now uses a path augmented during configuration
1090 processing of the --with-atf option to locate ATF runtime tools, atf-run
1091 and atf-report. For most installations of ATF, this should alleviate the
1092 need to manually include them in the PATH, as was formerly required.
1093 If the configure script cannot locate the tools it will emit a warning,
1094 informing the user that the tools must be in the PATH when running unit
1095 tests.
1096 Secondly, please note that "make check" will now exit with a failure status
1097 code (non-zero) if one or more unit tests fail. This means that invoking
1098 "make check" from an upper level directory will cause the make process to
1099 STOP after the first test subdirectory with failed test(s). To force all
1100 tests in all subdirectories to run, regardless of individual test outcome,
1101 use the command "make -k check".

1130 [ISC-Bugs #36933] Corrects Coverity reported "medium" impact issues
1131 [ISC-Bugs #37708] Fixes compilation error in dst_api.c seen in older

1133
1134- Server now supports a failover split value of 256.
1135 [ISC-Bugs] #36664]
1136
1137- Remove unneeded error #defines. These defines were included in case
1138 external programs required the older versions of the macro. They
1139 have been #ifdeffed for now and will be removed at a future date.
1140 See site.h for the #define to include them again, but you should
1141 switch to using the DHCP_R_* versions instead of the ISC_R_* versions.
1142 Also ISC_R_MULTIPLE has been removed as it is also defined in bind.
1143 [ISC-Bugs #37128]

1168
1169- Added the echo-client-id configuration parameter to the server configuration.
1170 The server now supports RFC 6842 compliant behavior by setting a new
1171 configuration parameter, echo-client-id. When enabled, the server will
1172 include the client identifier option (Option code 61) if received, in its
1173 responses. The server identifier returned in NAKs (if enabled) will now
1174 be the globally defined value (if one) if the server cannot attribute the
1175 inbound request to a known subnet.
1176 [ISC-Bugs #35958]
1177 [ISC-Bugs #32545]
1178
1179- Added support of the configuration parameter, use-host-decl-names, to
1180 BOOTP request handling.
1181 [ISC-Bugs #36233]
1182
1183- Added logic to ignore the signal, SIGPIPE, which ensures write failures
1184 will be delivered as errors rather than as SIGPIPE signals on all OSs.
1185 Thanks to Marius Tomaschewski from SUSE who reported the issue and provided
1186 the patch upon which the fix is based.
1187 [ISC-Bugs #32222]
1188
1189- In the failover code, handle the case of communications being interrupted
1190 when the servers are dealing with POTENTIAL-CONFLICT. This patch allows
1191 the primary to accept the secondary moving from POTENTIAL-CONFLICT to
1192 RESOLUTION-INTERRUPTED as well as handling the bind update process better.
1193 In addition the code to resend update or update all requests has been
1194 modified to send requests more often.
1195 [ISC-Bugs #36810]
1196 [ISC-Bugs #20352]
1197
1198- By default, the server will now choose the value to use in the forward DNS
1199 name from the following in order of preference:
1200
1201 1. FQDN option if provided by the client
1202 2. Host name option if provided by the client
1203 3. Configured option host-name if defined
1204
1205 As before, this may be overridden by defining ddns-hostname to the desired
1206 value (or expression). In addition, the server logic has been extended to
1207 use the value of the host name declaration if use-host-decl-names is enabled
1208 and no other value is available.
1209 [ISC-Bugs #21323]
1210
1211- DNS updates were being attempted when dhcp-cache-threshold enabled the use of
1212 the existing lease and the forward DNS name had not changed. This has been
1213 corrected.
1214 [ISC-Bugs #37368]
1215 [ISC-Bugs #38636]
1216
1217- Corrected an issue which caused dhclient to incorrectly form the result when
1218 prepending or appending to the IPv4 domain-search option, received from the
1219 server, when either of the values being combined contain compressed
1220 components.
1221 [ISC-Bugs #20558]
1222
1223- Added the server-id-check parameter to the server configuration.
1224 This parameter allows run-time control over whether or not a server,
1225 participating in failover, verifies the dhcp-server-identifier option in
1226 DHCP REQUESTs against the server's id before processing the request.
1227 Formerly, enabling this behavior was done at compilation time through
1228 the use of the #define, SERVER_ID_CHECK, which has been removed from site.h
1229 The functionality is now only available through the new runtime parameter.
1230 [ISC-Bugs #37551]
1231
1232- During startup, when the server encounters a lease whose binding state is
1233 FTS_BACKUP but whose pool has no configured failover peer, it will reset the
1234 lease's binding state to FTS_FREE. This allows the leases to be reclaimed
1235 by the server after a pool's configuration has changed from failover to
1236 standalone. Prior to this such leases would remain stuck in the backup state
1237 making them unavailable for assignment. Note this conversion will occur
1238 whether or not the server is compiled for failover.
1239 [ISC-Bugs #36960]
1240
1241- Fixed a small issue in the treatment of hosts in the inform processing
1242 that could cause the response to an inform to include information from
1243 the wrong scope. The two examples we've heard of are getting subnet
1244 instead of group information associated with a host entry, or getting
1245 global information instead of subnet if the host entry was built via
1246 omapi. Thanks to Julien Soula at University of Lille for finding the
1247 bug and supplying a patch.
1248 [ISC-Bugs #35712]
1249
1250- Avoid calling pool_timer() recursively from supersede_lease(). This could
1251 result in leases changing state incorrectly or delaying the running of the
1252 leae expiration code.
1253 [ISC-Bugs #38002]
1254
1255- Move the check for a PID file and process to be before we rewrite the
1256 lease file. This avoids the possibility of starting a second instance
1257 of a server which changes the current lease file confusing the first
1258 instance. This check is only included if the admin hasn't disabled PID
1259 files.
1260 [ISC-Bugs #38078]

1266 [ISC-Bugs #37084]
1267
1268- Modified Linux packet handling such that packets received via VLAN are now
1269 seen only by the VLAN interface. Prior to this, such packets were seen by
1270 both the VLAN interface and its parent (physical) interface, causing the
1271 server to respond to both. Note this remains an issue for non-Linux OSs.
1272 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the patch.

1277
1278- Log content has been changed to more directly suggest that admins should
1279 check for multiple IPv6 clients attempting to use the same DUID when only
1280 abandoned addresses are available. Debug level logging will now emit counts
1281 of the total number of, in-use, and abandoned addresses in a shared subnet
1282 when the server finds no addresses available for a given DUID. Lastly,
1283 threshold logging is now automatically disabled for shared subnets whose
1284 total number of possible addresses exceeds (2^64)-1.
1285 [ISC-Bugs #26376]
1286 [ISC-Bugs #38131]
1287
1288- Added a global parameter, prefix-length-mode, which may be used to determine
1289 how the server uses a non-zero value for prefix-length supplied by clients
1290 when soliciting DHCPv6 prefixes. The server supports selection modes of:
1291 ignore, prefer, exact, minimum and maximum which are described in detail in
1292 the server man pages. The prior behavior of the server was to only offer a
1293 prefix whose length exactly matched the prefix-length value requested. If
1294 no such prefixes were available, the server returned a status of none
1295 available. Note the default mode, "exact", provides this same behavior.
1296 [ISC-Bugs #36780]
1297 [ISC-Bugs #32228]
1298
1299- Corrected inconsistencies in dhcrelay's setting the upper interface hop count
1300 limit such that it now sets it to 32 when the upstream address is a multicast
1301 address per RFC 3315 Section 20. Prior to this if the -u argument preceded
1302 the -l argument on the command line or if the same interface was specified
1303 for both; the logic to set the hop limit count for the upper interface was
1304 skipped. This caused the hop count limit to be set to the default value
1305 (typically 1) in the outbound upstream packets.

SR
1467
1468- If a client renews before 'dhcp-cache-threshold' percent of its lease
1469 has elapsed (default 25%), the server will reuse the allocated lease
1470 (provide a lease within the currently allocated lease-time) rather
1471 than extend or renew the lease. This absolves the server of needing
1472 to perform an fsync() operation on the lease database before reply,
1473 which improves performance. [ISC-Bugs #22228]
80778e94 1474 Updated this patch to support asynchronous DDNS. If the server is
adb95d23 1475 attempting to do DDNS on a lease it should be updated and written to
4809ef5c 1476 disk even if that wouldn't be necessary due to the thresholding.

SR
1483- A problem with missing get_hw_addr function when --enable-use-sockets
1484 was used is now solved on GNU/Linux, BSD and GNU/Hurd systems. Note
1485 that use-sockets feature was not tested on those systems. Client and
1486 server code no longer use MAX_PATH constant that is not defined on
3cb6f9bb 1487 GNU/Hurd systems. [ISC-Bugs #25979]
32e651c4 1488
67418698
SR
1489- Add a perl script in the contrib directory, dhcp-lease-list.pl, which
1490 can parse v4 lease files and output the lease information in a more
1491 human friendly manner. This was written by Christian Hammers with
1492 some updates by vom and ISC. This is contributed code and is not
1493 supported by ISC; however it may be useful to some users.

d7d9c0c7
SR
1502- Update the DDNS code to current standards and allow for sharing
1503 of DDNS entries between v4 and v6 clients. The new code is used
1504 if the ddns-update-style is set to "standard", the older code is
1505 still available if ddns-update-style is set to "interim". The
1506 oldest DDNS code "ad-hoc" has been removed. Thanks to Thomas Pegeot

cde11a4c
SR
1511- Add a configuration option to the server to suppress using fsync().
1512 Enabling this option will mean that fsync() is never called. This
1513 may provide better performance but there is also a risk that a lease
1514 will not be properly written to the disk after it has been issued
1515 to a client and before the server stops. Using this option is
1516 not recommended.

cde11a4c 1518
f88446f1
SR
1519- Add some logging statements to indicate when the server is ready
1520 to serve. One statement is emitted after the server has finished
1521 reading its files and is about to enter the dispatch loop.
1522 This is "Server starting service.".
1523 The second is emitted when a server determines that both it and
1524 its failover peer are in the normal state.
1525 This is "failover peer <name>: Both servers normal."

1529 statement allows the administrator to choose which relay to
1530 use when searching for an option, see the dhcp-options man page
6b9c9f87
SR
1531 for a description. The host-identifier option has also been
1532 updated to support the use of relay options, see the dhcpd.conf

e54ff84f 1536- When doing DDNS if there isn't an appropriate zone statement attempt
80778e94 1537 to find a reasonable nameserver via a DNS resolver. This restores
e54ff84f
SR
1538 some functionality that was lost in the transition to asynchronous
1539 DDNS. Due to the lack of security and increase in fragility of the
1540 system when using this feature we strongly recommend the use of
1541 appropriate zone statements rather than using this functionality.
1542 [ISC-Bugs #30461]
1543
61ef216b
SR
1544- Add support for specifying the address from which to send
1545 DDNS updates on the DHCP server. There are two new options
1546 "ddns-local-address4" and "ddns-local-address6" that each take
1547 one instance of their respective address types.
1548 [ISC-Bugs #34779]
4d079f0e 1549

SR
1550- Add ignore-client-uids option in the server. This option causes
1551 the server to not record a client's uid in its lease. This
1552 violates the specification but may also be useful when a client
1553 can dual boot using different client ids but the same mac address.

SR
1584- An optimization described in the failover protocol draft is now included,
1585 which permits a DHCP server operating in communications-interrupted state
1586 to 'rewind' a lease to the state most recently transmitted to its peer,
1587 greatly increasing a server's endurance in communications-interrupted.
1588 This is supported using a new 'rewind state' record on the dhcpd.leases
1589 entry for each lease.

01a44a77
SR
1596- When constructing the DNS name structure from a text string append
1597 the root to relative names. This satisfies a requirement in the DNS
1598 library that names be absolute instead of relative and prevents DHCP
1599 from crashing. [ISC-Bugs #21054]

1601- "The LDAP Patch" that has been circulating for some time, written by
1602 Brian Masney and S.Kalyanasundraram and maintained for application to
1603 the DHCP-4 sources by David Cantrell has been included. Please be
1604 advised that these sources were contributed, and do not yet meet the
1605 high standards we place on production sources we include by default.
1606 As a result, the LDAP features are only included by using a compile-time
1607 option which defaults off, and if you enable it you do so under your
1608 own recognizance. We will be improving this software over time.

1622 we would try and clean up before exiting. This could present problems
1623 when the cleanup required part of the context that wasn't available. It
1624 also didn't do much as we exited afterwards anyway. Now we simply log

1627- A bug was fixed that could cause the DHCPv6 server to advertise/assign a
1628 previously allocated (active) lease to a client that has changed subnets,
1629 despite being on different shared networks. Dynamic prefixes specifically
1630 allocated in shared networks also now are not offered if the client has

01a44a77
SR
1648 o DHCP processes (dhcpd, dhclient) fail to start if one of either the
1649 IPv4 or IPv6 address families is not present. [ISC-Bugs #21122]
08e6dad9 1650
01a44a77
SR
1651 o Assertion failure when attempting to cancel a previously running DDNS
1652 update. [ISC-Bugs #21133]

01a44a77
SR
1666- 'get-host-names true;' now also works even if 'use-host-decl-names true;'
1667 was also configured. The nature of this repair also fixes another
1668 error; the host-name supplied by a client is no longer overridden by a
1669 reverse lookup of the lease address. Thanks to a patch from Wilco Baan
1670 Hofman supplied to us by the Debian package maintenance team.

1683 object is freed due to a dereference. [ISC-Bugs #21306]
0b2ec8c9 1684
01a44a77
SR
1685- Fixed a bug that leaks host record references onto lease structures,
1686 causing the server to apply configuration intended for one host to any
1687 other innocent clients that come along later. [ISC-Bugs #22018]

01a44a77
SR
1725- Fixes to lease input and output.
1726 [ISC-Bugs #20418] - Some systems don't support the "%s" argument to
1727 strftime, paste together the same string using mktime instead.
1728 [ISC-Bugs #19596] - When parsing iaid values accept printable
1729 characters.

01a44a77
SR
1742- Update the code to parse dhcpv6 lease files to accept a semi-colon at
1743 the end of the max-life and preferred-life clauses. In order to be
1744 backwards compatible with older lease files not finding a semi-colon

1752- ./configure on longer searches for -lcrypto to explicitly link against.
1753 This fixes a bug where 'dhclient' would have shared library dependencies
1754 on '/usr/lib'. [ISC-Bugs #21967]
d13db163 1755
01a44a77
SR
1756- Handle pipe failures more gracefully. Some OSes pass a SIGPIPE
1757 signal to a process and will kill the process if the signal isn't
1758 caught. This patch adds code to turn off the SIGPIPE signal via
1759 a setsockopt() call. The signal is already being ignored as part
1760 of the ISC library. [ISC-Bugs #22269]
b342f2e7 1761
01a44a77
SR
1762- Restore printing of values in omshell to the style pre 21585. For
1763 21585 we changed the print routines to always display time values
1764 as a hex list. This had a side effect of printing all data strings
1765 as a hex list. We shall investigate other ways of displaying time
1766 values more usefully. [ISC-Bugs #22626]
797aab67 1767
01a44a77
SR
1768! Fix the handling of connection requests on the failover port.
1769 Previously a connection request from a source that wasn't
1770 listed as a failover peer would cause the server to become
1771 non-responsive. Thanks to a report from Brad Bendily, brad@bendily.com.

SR
1775- Don't pass the ISC_R_INPROGRESS status to the omapi signal handlers.
1776 Passing it through to the handlers caused the omshell program to fail
1777 to connect to the server. [ISC-Bugs #21839]

adb95d23 1779- Fix the parenthesis in the code to process configuration statements
01a44a77

1780 beginning with "auth". The previous arrangement caused
1781 "auto-partner-down" to be processed incorrectly. [ISC-Bugs #21854]
d19fa5a1 1782
01a44a77
SR
1783- Limit the timeout period allowed in the dispatch code to 2^^32-1 seconds.
1784 Thanks to a report from Jiri Popelka at Red Hat.
1785 [ISC-Bugs #22033], [Red Hat Bug #628258]
bb9189c3 1786
01a44a77
SR
1787- When processing the format flags for a given option consume the
1788 flag indicating an optional value correctly. A symptom of this
1789 bug was an infinite loop when trying to parse the slp-service-scope
1790 option. Thanks to a patch from Marius Tomaschewski.
1791 [ISC-Bugs #22055]
cbbd2714 1792
01a44a77
SR
1793- Disable the use of kqueue in the ISC library. This avoids a problem
1794 between the fork and socket code that caused the dhcpd process to
1795 use all available cpu if the program daemonized itself.
1796 [ISC-Bugs #21911]
d208bb04 1797
01a44a77
SR
1798! When processing a request in the DHCPv6 server code that specifies
1799 an address that is tagged as abandoned (meaning we received a
1800 decline request for it previously) don't attempt to move it from
1801 the inactive to active pool as doing so can result in the server
1802 crashing on an assert failure. Also retag the lease as active
1803 and reset its timeout value.
1804 [ISC-Bugs #21921]
9a111ee8 1805
01a44a77
SR
1806- Removed the restriction on using IPv6 addresses in IPv4 mode. This
1807 allows IPv4 options which contain IPv6 addresses to be specified. For
1808 example the 6rd option can be specified and used like this:
1809 [ISC-Bugs #23039]
d208bb04 1810
01a44a77

25f664a6 1814
01a44a77
SR
1815- Handle some DDNS corner cases better. Maintain the DDNS transaction
1816 information when updating a lease and cancel any existing transactions
9a111ee8 1817 when removing the ddns information.

1835 is already assigned to a different client. [ISC-Bugs #23948]
4a5bfeac
SR
1836
1837- Add the option "--no-pid" to the client, relay and server code,
1838 to disable writing a pid file. Add the option "-pf pidfile"
1839 to the relay to allow the user to supply the pidfile name at
1840 runtime. Add the "with-relay6-pid-file" option to configure
1841 to allow the user to supply the pidfile name for the relay
1842 in v6 mode at configure time.
1843 [ISC-Bugs #23351] [ISC-Bugs #17541]
5d082abd
TM
1844
1845- 'dhclient' no longer waits a random interval after first starting up to
1846 begin in the INIT state. This conforms to RFC 2131, but elects not to
9a111ee8 1847 implement a 'SHOULD' direction in section 4.1. The goal of this change
73c83820 1848 is to start up faster. [ISC-Bugs #19660]
9a111ee8
TM
1849
1850- Added 'initial-delay' parameter that specifies maximum amount of time
1851 before client goes to the INIT state. The default value is 0. In previous
1852 versions of the code client could wait up to 5 seconds. The old behavior
5d082abd 1853 may be restored by using 'initial-delay 5;' in the client config file.
73c83820 1854 [ISC-Bugs #19660]
5d082abd
TM
1855
1856- ICMP ping-check should now sit closer to precisely the number of seconds
1857 configured (or default 1), due to making use of the new microsecond
1858 scale timer internally to dhcpd. This corrects a bug where the server
1859 may immediately timeout an ICMP ping-check if it was made late in the
73c83820 1860 current second. [ISC-Bugs #19660]
5d082abd
TM
1861
1862- The DHCP client will schedule renewal and rebinding events in
1863 microseconds if the DHCP server provided a lease-time that would result
1864 in sub-1-second timers. This corrects a bug where a 2-second or lower
1865 lease-time would cause the DHCP client to enter an infinite loop by
73c83820 1866 scheduling renewal at zero seconds. [ISC-Bugs #19660]
5d082abd
TM
1867
1868- Client lease records are recorded at most once every 15 seconds. This
1869 keeps the client from filling the lease database disk quickly on very small
73c83820 1870 lease times. [ISC-Bugs #19660]
5d082abd
TM
1871
1872- To defend against RFC 2131 non-compliant DHCP servers which fail to
1873 advertise a lease-time (either mangled, or zero in value) the DHCP
1874 client now adds the server to the reject list ACL and returns to INIT
1875 state to hopefully find an RFC 2131 compliant server (or retry in INIT
73c83820 1876 forever). [ISC-Bugs #19660]
023fbaa0
TM
1877
1878- Parameters configured to evaluate from user defined function calls can
1879 now be correctly written to dhcpd.leases (as on 'on events' or dynamic
1880 host records inserted via OMAPI). [ISC-Bugs #22266]
1881
1882- If a 'next-server' parameter is configured in a dynamic host record via
1883 OMAPI as a domain name, the syntax written to disk is now correctly parsed
1884 upon restart. [ISC-Bugs #22266]
656b1ece
TM
1885
1886- The DHCP server now responds to DHCPLEASEQUERY messages from agents using
1887 IP addresses not covered by a subnet in configuration. Whether or not to
1888 respond to such an agent is still governed by the 'allow leasequery;'
1889 configuration parameter, in the case of an agent not covered by a configured
1890 subnet the root configuration area is examined. Server now also returns
1891 vendor-class-id option, if client sent it. [ISC-Bugs #21094]

2000 code to the DDNS handling. This code included a bug that caused it
2001 to attempt to dereference a NULL pointer and eventually segfault.
2002 While reviewing the code as we addressed this problem, we determined
2003 that some of the updates to the lease structures would not work as
2004 planned since the structures being updated were in the process of
2005 being freed: these updates were removed. In addition we removed an
2006 incorrect call to the DDNS removal function that could cause a failure
2007 during the removal of DDNS information from the DNS server.
2008 Thanks to Jasper Jongmans for reporting this issue.

2012- Fixed the code that checks if an address the server is planning
2013 to hand out is in a reserved range. This would appear as
2014 the server being out of addresses in pools with particular ranges.

01a44a77
SR
2110! Previously the server code was relaxed to allow packets with zero
2111 length client ids to be processed. Under some situations use of
2112 zero length client ids can cause the server to go into an infinite
2113 loop. As such ids are not valid according to RFC 2132 section 9.14
2114 the server no longer accepts them. Client ids with a length of 1
2115 are also invalid but the server still accepts them in order to
2116 minimize disruption. The restriction will likely be tightened in
2117 the future to disallow ids with a length of 1.

2293- A new failover configuration parameter has been introduced for those
2294 environments where DHCP servers can be reasonably guaranteed to be
2295 "down" when the failover TCP socket is severed, "auto-partner-down".
2296 This parameter is not generally safe, and by default is disabled, so

2300- Added a configuration function, 'gethostname()', which calls the system
2301 function of the same name and presents the results as a data expression.
2302 This function can be used to incorporate the system level hostname of
2303 the system the DHCP software is operating on in responses or queries (such
2304 as including a failover partner's hostname in a dhcp message or binding
2305 scope, or having a DHCP client send any system hostname in the host-name or
2306 FQDN options by default).

2358
f9453d21
DH
2359- A bug in DLPI packet transmission (Solaris, HP/UX) that caused the server
2360 to stop receiving packets is fixed. The same fix also means that the MAC
2361 address will no longer appear 'bogus' on DLPI-based systems.
2362
2363- A bug in select handling was discovered where the results of one select()
2364 call were discarded, causing the server to process the next select() call
2365 and use more system calls than required. This has been repaired - the
2366 sockets will be handled after the first return from select(), resulting in
2367 fewer system calls.
2368

DH
2369- The update-conflict-detection feature would leave an FQDN updated without
2370 a DHCID (still currently implemented as a TXT RR). This would cause later
2371 expiration or release events to fail to remove the domain name. The feature
2372 now also inserts the client's up to date DHCID record, so records may safely
2373 be removed at expiration or release time. Thanks to a patch submitted by

2392- Compilation on Solaris with USE_SOCKETS defined in includes/site.h has
2393 been repaired. Other USE_ overrides should work better.

2395- A check for the local flavor of IFNAMSIZ had a broken 'else' condition,

DH
2399- Fixed a bug where an OMAPI socket disconnection message would not result
2400 in scheduling a failover reconnection, if the link had not negotiated a

2402 timeouts).

2407! A stack overflow vulnerability was fixed in dhclient that could allow
2408 remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands as root on the system,
2409 or simply terminate the client, by providing an over-long subnet-mask

2426- Secondary servers in a failover pair will now perform ddns removals if
2427 they had performed ddns updates on a lease that is expiring, or was
2428 released through the primary. As part of the same fix, stale binding scopes
2429 will now be removed if a change in identity of a lease's active client is
2430 detected, rather than simply if a lease is noticed to have expired (which it
2431 may have expired without a failover server noticing in some situations).

DH
2433- A patch supplied by David Cantrell at RedHat was applied that detects
2434 invalid calling parameters given to the ns_name_ntop() function.
2435 Specifically, it detects if the caller passed a pointer and size pair
2436 that causes the pointer to integer-wrap past zero.

2444- Both host and subnet6 configuration groups are now included whether a
2445 fixed-address6 (DHCPv6) is in use or not. Host scoped configuration takes
2446 precedence. This fixes two bugs, one where host scoped configuration
2447 would not be included from a non-fixed-address6 host record, and the equal
2448 and opposite bug where subnet6 scoped configuration would not be used when
571c38b0 2449 over-riding values were not present in a matching fixed-address6 host

SR
2455- Modified the handling of a connection to avoid releasing the omapi io
2456 object for the connection while it is still in use. One symptom from

2458 to the failover primary if their clocks were not synchronized.

7d6180be
DH
2569- A bug in subnet6 parsing where options contained in subnet6 clauses would
2570 not be applied to clients addressed within that network was repaired.
2571
2572- When configuring a "subnet {}" or "subnet6 {}" without an explicit
2573 shared-network enclosing it, the DHCP software would synthesize a
2574 shared-network to contain the subnet. However, all configuration
2575 parameters within the subnet more intuitively belong "to any client
2576 on that interface", or rather the synthesized shared-network. So,
2577 when a shared-network is synthesized, it is used to contain the
2578 configuration present inside the subnet {} clause. This means that
2579 the configuration will be valid for all clients on that network, not
2580 just those addressed out of the stated subnet. If you intended the
2581 opposite, the workaround is to explicitly configure an empty
2582 shared-network.
2583
2584- A bug was fixed where Information-Request processing was not sourcing
2585 configured option values.
2586
2587- A warning was added since the DHCPv6 processing software does not yet
2588 support class statements.

2597

01a54c17
EH
2640- The dhclient-script was updated to create a host route for the default
2641 gateway if the supplied subnet mask for an IPv4 address was a /32. This
2642 allows the client to work in 'captive' network environments, where the
2643 operator does not want clients to crosstalk directly.
2644
adb95d23 2645- MINUS tokens should be parsable again.
01a54c17
EH
2646
2647- Multiple (up to "delayed-ack x;" maximum) DHCPv4 packets are now queued and
2648 released in bursts after single fsync() events when the upper limit is
2649 reached or if the receiving sockets go dry. The practical upshot is
2650 that fsync-coupled server performance is now multiplicitively increased.
2651 The default delayed ack limit is 28. Thanks entirely to a patch from
2652 Christof Chen.

2667 they were declared has been updated to be more helpful and identify the
2668 typo in configuration that created the spanning addresses.

2685 'address' parameter (the server's local address) did not resolve to an
2686 IPv4 address.
2687
2c9bf1f4
DH
2688- The minimum site code value was set to 224 in 3.1.0 to track RFC3942. This
2689 broke a lot of legacy site local configurations. The new code in place will
2690 track site local space minimum option codes and logs a warning to encourage
2691 updates and exploration of site local code migration problems. Option
2692 codes less than 128 in site local spaces remain inaccessible.
2693
2694- A possible relay agent option bug was repaired where random server
2695 initialization state may have been used to signal the relay agent
2696 information options sub-option code for the 'END' of the option space.

57fcb8d9
SK
2702- When server is configured with options that it overrides, a warning is
2703 issued when the configuration file is read, rather than at the time the
2704 option is overridden. This was important, because the warning was given
9a111ee8 2705 every time the option was overridden, which could create a lot of
57fcb8d9
SK
2706 unnecessary logging.

2711- When a failover server suspects it has encountered a peer running a
2712 version 3.0.x failover server, a warning that the failover wire protocol
2713 is incompatible is printed.

e32529a5
EH
2736- dhc6_lease_destroy() and dhc6_ia_destroy() now set lease and IA pointers
2737 to NULL after freeing, to prevent subsequent accesses to freed memory.
2738
9a111ee8 2739- The DHCPv6 server would not send the preference option unless the
76db44f9
SK
2740 client requested it, via the ORO. This has been fixed, so the DHCPv6
2741 server will always send the preference value if it is configured.
e4a6be15 2742
9a111ee8
TM
2743- When addresses were passed as hints to the server in an IA, they were
2744 incorrectly handled, sometimes being treated as an error. Now the

2746 a requested address.
2747
703873ab
DH
2748- If the client had multiple addresses, and one expired (was not renewed
2749 by the server), the client would continue to attempt to renew the same
2750 old address over and over. Now, the client will omit any expired
2751 addresses from future Confirm, Renew, or Rebind messages.
2752
2753- dhclient -6 will now select renew/rebind timers based upon the longest
2754 address expiration time rather than the shortest expiration time, in
2755 order to avoid cascading renewals in the event a server elects not to
2756 extend one of multiple IAADDR leases.

2794- Relative time may now be used as a qualifier for 'allow' and 'deny' access
2795 control lists. These directives may be used to assist in re-addressing
2796 address pools without having to constantly reconfigure the server. Please

SK
2804 Changes since 4.0.0b1
2805
75135a3f 2806- Use different paths for PID and lease files when running in DHCPv4
adb95d23 2807 or DHCPv6 mode, so that servers for both protocols can be run
75135a3f
EH
2808 simultaneously on a single interface.

EH
2810- Fixed a buffer overflow error which could have allowed a denial
2811 of service under unusual server configurations
2812
2813- Eliminated a spurious error message from the client
2814
9a111ee8 2815- A number of bugs with the internal handling of lease state on the
f765ec36 2816 server have been fixed. Some of these could cause server crashes.
fa9b593d 2817
edb1283e
DH
2818- The peer_wants_leases() changes pulled up from 3.1.0 were corrected,
2819 'never used' leases will no longer consistently shift between servers
2820 on every pool rebalance run.
2821
c71c6399
DH
2822- sendmsg()/recvmsg() control buffers are now declared in such a way to
2823 ensure they are correctly aligned on all (esp. 64-bit) architectures.
2824
5279b8f3
DH
2825- The client leasing subsystem was streamlined and corrected to account
2826 more closely for changes in client link attachment selection.
2827
ab3a540f 2828 Changes since 4.0.0a3
763cba6b 2829
9a111ee8 2830- The DHCP server no longer requires a "ddns-update-style" statement,
884a458f
SK
2831 and now defaults to "none", which means DNS updates are disabled.
2832
fa9b593d
DH
2833- Log messages when failover peer names mismatch have been improved to
2834 point out the problem.
2835
9a111ee8 2836- Bug where server advertised a IPv6 address in response to a SOLICIT
1b5053b5
SK
2837 but would not return the address in response to a REQUEST. Thanks to
2838 Dennis Kou for finding the bug.

2841 reported independently by Jothilingam Vasu and Dennis Kou.
2842
eaf7eb17
DH
2843- Fixed a ./configure bug where compile tests were failing due to
2844 "-Werror" (unused variable) rather than the actual test failure. Lead
2845 to inconsistent and unworkable auto-configurations.

9a111ee8 2849- Error in decoding IA_NA option if multiple interfaces are present
3ad9d48f
SK
2850 fixed by Marcus Goller.

8eab95f2
DH
2852- DHCPv6 server Confirm message processing has been enhanced - it no
2853 longer replies only to clients with host {} records, it now replies
2854 as directed in RFC3315 section 18.2.2 - that is, to all clients
2855 regardless of the existence of bindings.

DH
2857- A core dump during expired lease cleanup has been repaired.
2858
7285af30
DH
2859- DDNS updates state information are now stored in 'binding scopes' that
2860 follow the leases through their lifecycles. This enables DDNS teardowns
2861 on leases that are assigned and expired inbetween a server restart (the
2862 state is recovered from dhcpd.leases). Arbitrary user-specified binding
2863 scopes ('set var = "value";') are not yet supported.

2883- An internal database inconsistency bug was repaired where the server
2884 would segfault if a client attempted to renew a lease that had been
2885 loaded from persistent storage.
2886
45d545f0 2887- 'request' and 'also request' syntaxes have been added to accommodate
0c20eab3
DH
2888 the DHCPv6 client configuration. 'send dhcp6.oro' is no longer
2889 necessary.

2891- Bug fixed where configuration file parsing did not work with
2892 zero-length options; this made it impossible to set the
f800f4f6

2910- Compilation on HP/UX has been repaired. The changes should generally
2911 apply to any architecture that supplies SIOCGLIFCONF but does not

2949 initialized.
2950
2951- Silenced several other compiler warnings.
2952
2953- Include the more standard sys/uio.h rather than rely upon other
f66f02cc
DH
2954 header files to include it (fixes a BSD 4.2 compile failure).
2955
2956- Duplicate dhclient-script updates for DHCPv6 to all provided scripts.
a512d11b 2957
4ba58919
DH
2958- DHCPv4 I/O methods that failed to sense hardware address were corrected.
2959
2960- DHCPv4 is now the default (as documented) rather than DHCPv6. The default
2961 was set to DHCPv6 to facilitate ease early development, and forgotten.
2962
2963- Corrected a segmentation violation in DHCPv4 socket processing.
2964
8ea19a71 2965- dhclient will now fork() into the background once it binds to an
45d545f0 2966 IPv6 address, or immediately if the -n flag is supplied.
8ea19a71
DH
2967
2968- -q is now the default behaviour on dhclient, with -d or -v enabling
2969 non-quiet (stderr logging) mode.
2970
2cf8d0bd
DH
2971- Fix documentation of the domain-search atom (quoted, with commas).

2974
fe5b0fdd
DH
2975- Replaced ./configure shellscripting with GNU Autoconf.
2976
98bd7ca0
DH
2977 Changes since 3.1.0 (NEW FEATURES)
2978
2979- DHCPv6 Client and Server protocol support. Use '-6' to run the daemons
2980 as v6-only. Use '-4' to run the daemons as v4-only (default. There is
2981 no support currently for both.
2982
2983- Server support for multiple IA_NA options, containing at most one
2984 IAADDR option.
2985
2986- Client support for one IA_NA option, containing any number of IAADDR
2987 options.
2988
2989- Server support for the DHCPv6 Information-request message.
2990
2991- Inappropriate unicast DHCPv6 messages sent to the server are now
2992 discarded, and this has rearchitected the IO system slightly.
2993
2994- The DHCPv6 server DUID defaults to type 1, is persistently stored in
2995 the leases database, and can be over-ridden (either completely, or by
2996 specifying type 1 or type 2).
2997
2998- The server only uses Rapid-Commit if it has been configured with the
2999 Rapid-Commit option and the client requests it.
3000
3001- DDNS support. We now update AAAA records in the same place we would
3002 update A records, if we have an IPv6 address. We also generate IP6.ARPA
3003 style names for PTR records if we're dealing with an IPv6 address. Both
3004 A and AAAA updates are done using the same 'fqdn.' virtual option space
3005 (although the DHCPv4 FQDN and DHCPv6 FQDN options are formatted
3006 differently, they both use the same code here).
3007
3008- The Linux dhclient-script attempts to set and remove assigned addresses,
3009 and to configure /etc/resolv.conf from nameserver and domain name
3010 configurations. It can be extended to configure other parameters.
3011
3012- Initial DHCPv6 lease support.
3013
3014- The IO system now tracks all local IP addresses, so that the DHCP
3015 applications (particularly the dhcrelay) can discern between what frames
3016 were transmitted to it, and what frames are being carried through it which
3017 it should not intercept.
3018
1418fd11
DH
3019 Changes since 3.1.0 (Maintenance)
3020
3021- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for virgin leases always
3022 mapped to the primary. Virgin leases now have an interleaved preference
3023 between primary and secondary.
3024
3025- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for clients with no client
3026 identifier was sometimes mishashed to the peer. Load balancing during
3027 runtime and pool rebalancing were opposing.
3028
aa3e348e
DH
3029- An assertion in lease counting relating to reserved leases was repaired.
3030
e9c59645
DH
3031- The subnet-mask option inclusion now conforms with RFC2132 section 3.3;
3032 it will only appear prior to the routers option if it is present on the
3033 Parameter-Request-List. The subnet-mask option will also only be
3034 included by default (if it is not on the PRL) in response to DISCOVER
3035 or REQUEST messages.
3036
3037- The FQDN option is only supplied if the client supplied an FQDN option or
3038 if the FQDN option was explicitly requested on the PRL.
3039
c104546d
DH
3040- Dynamic BOOTP leases are now load balanced in failover.
3041
b9d0cc05
DH
3042 Changes since 3.1.0rc1
3043
adb95d23 3044- The parse warning that 'deny dynamic bootp;' must be configured for
b9d0cc05
DH
3045 failover protected subnets was removed.
3046
a512cc3a
DH
3047 Changes since 3.1.0b2
3048
3049- Failover rebalance events no longer play ping pong with round errors
3050 (moving leases between free and back to backup where there are an
3051 odd number of leases).
3052
3053- The 'pool' log line has been split into two messages, one before the
3054 rebalance run, and one after.
3055
3056- Any queued BNDACKs are transmitted before transmitting new BNDUPDs.
3057 This enforces the correct sequence of events for the remote server
3058 processing these messages.
3059
fe5b0fdd 3060 Changes since 3.1.0b1
27837f95 3061
74dc3e0b
EH
3062- Fixed a bug that caused OMAPI clients to freeze when opening lease
3063 objects.
3064
1ba87b37
EH
3065- A new server config option "fqdn-reply" specifies whether the server
3066 should send out option 81 (FQDN). Defaults to "on". If set to "off",
3067 the FQDN option is not sent, even if the client requested it. This is
3068 needed because some clients misbehave otherwise. Thanks to Christof Chen
3069 at Allianz.
3070
a58da042
EH
3071- Allow trace output files (-tf option) to be overwritten, rather than
3072 crashing dhcpd if the file already exists
3073
61252edf
EH
3074- A bug was fixed that caused dhcpd to segfault if a pool was declared
3075 outside the scope of a subnet in dhcpd.conf.
3076
27837f95
DH
3077- Some uninitialized values were repaired in dhcpleasequery.c that
3078 caused the server to abort.
3079
4d2eaafb
DH
3080- A new server config option, 'do-reverse-updates', has been added
3081 which causes the server to abstain from performing updates on PTR
3082 records. Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen at Allianz.
3083
06211b40
DH
3084- A bug was repaired in subencapsulation support, where spaces separated
3085 by empty spaces would not get included.
3086
d6614ea2
DH
3087- A bug in dhclient was repaired which caused it to send parameter request
3088 lists of 55 bytes in length no matter how long the declared PRL was.
3089
132d38f2
DH
3090- 'dhcp.c(3953): non-null pointer' has been repaired. This fixes a flaw
3091 wherein the DHCPv4 server may ignore a configured server-identifier.
3092
fc3b9c90
DH
3093- A flaw in failover startup sequences was repaired that sometimes left
3094 the primary DHCP server's pool rebalance schedules unscheduled.
3095
c9feb859
DH
3096- Corrected a flaw that broke encapsulated spaces included due to presence
3097 on the parameter request list.

DH
3108- A bug was fixed in dhclient rendering the textual output form of the
3109 domain-search option syntax.
3110

DH
3111 Changes since 3.1.0a1
3112
3113- A bug in the FQDN universe that added FQDN codes to the NWIP universe's
3114 hash table was repaired.
3115
616d67cb
DH
3116- The servers now try harder to transmit pending binding updates when
3117 entering normal state.
3118
3119- UPDREQ/UPDREQALL handling was optimized - it no longer dequeues and
3120 requeues all pending updates. This should reduce the number of spurious
66c8f734
DH
3121 'xid mismatch' log messages.
3122
3123- An option definition referencing leak was fixed, which resulted in early
3124 termination of dhclient upon the renewal event.
616d67cb 3125
6708d944
DH
3126- Some default hash table sizes were tweaked, some upwards, some downwards.
3127 3.1.0a1's tables resulted in a reduction in default server memory use.
3128 The new selected values provide more of a zero sum (increasing the size
3129 of tables likely to be populated, decreasing the size of tables unlikely).
3130
45d545f0 3131- Lease structures appear in three separate hashes: by IP address, by UID,
6708d944
DH
3132 and by hardware address. One type of table was used for all three, and
3133 improvements to IP address hashing were applied to all three (so UID and
3134 hardware addresses were treated like 4-byte integers). There are now two
3135 types of tables, and the uid/hw hashes use functions more appropriate
3136 to their needs.
3137
3138- The max-lease-misbalance percentage no longer causes scheduled rebalance
3139 runs to be skipped: it still governs the schedule, but every scheduled
3140 run will attempt balance.
3141
a7ee93fe
DH
3142- A segfault bug in recursive encapsulation support has been corrected.
3143
98311e4b
DH
3144 Changes since 3.0 (New Features)
3145
3146- A workaround for certain STSN servers that send a mangled domain-name
3147 option was introduced for dhclient. The client will now accept corrupted
3148 server responses, if they contain a valid DHCP_MESSAGE_TYPE (OFFER, ACK,
3149 or NAK). The server will continue to not accept corrupt client packets.
3150
98bd7ca0 3151- Support for 'reserved' (pseudo-static) and BOOTP leases via failover
a55ccdd0 3152 was introduced.
98311e4b
DH
3153
3154- Support for adding, removing, and managing class and subclass statements
3155 via OMAPI.
3156
a55ccdd0
DH
3157- The failover implementation was updated to comply with revision 12 of
3158 the protocol draft.
3159
98311e4b
DH
3160- 'make install' now creates the initial zero-length dhcpd.leases file if
3161 one does not already exist on the system.
3162
b43c87ad 3163- RFC3942 compliance, site-local option spaces start at 224 now, not 128.
b43c87ad 3164
0b17f049
DH
3165- The Load Balance Algorithm was misimplemented. The current implementation
3166 matches RFC 3074.
3167
2727c1cf
DH
3168- lcase() and ucase() configuration expressions have been added which adjust
3169 their arguments from upper to lower and lower to upper cases respectively.
2714a8ef 3170 Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
2727c1cf 3171
febbd402
DH
3172- The dhclient 'reject ...;' statement, which rejects leases given by named
3173 server-identifiers, now permits address ranges to be specified in CIDR
7d7073e7 3174 notation. Thanks to a patch from David Boyce.
febbd402 3175
ee912528
DH
3176- The subnet-mask option is now supplied by default, but at lowest
3177 priority. This helps a small minority of clients that provide parameter
3178 request lists, but do not list the subnet-mask option because they were
3179 designed to interoperate with a server that behaves in this manner.
3180
3181- The FQDN option is similarly supplied even if it does not appear on the
3182 parameter request list, but not to the exclusion of options that do
3183 appear at the parameter request list. Up until now it had ultimate
3184 priority over the client's parameter request list.
3185
f7fdb216 3186- Varying option space code and length bit widths (8/16/32) are now
51202707 3187 supported. This is a milestone in achieving RFC 3925 "VIVSO" and
f7fdb216
DH
3188 DHCPv6 support.
3189
5e864416
DH
3190- A new common (server or client) option, 'db-time-format local;', has
3191 been added which prints the local time in /var/db/dhcpd.leases rather
3192 than UTC. Thanks to a patch from Ken Lalonde.
3193
b500bd4c
DH
3194- Some patches to improve DHCP Server startup speed from Andrew Matheson
3195 have been incorporated.
3196
2426234f
DH
3197- Failover pairs now implement 'MAC Affinity' on leases moving from the
3198 active to free states. Leases that belonged to the failover secondary
3199 are moved to BACKUP state rather than FREE upon exiting EXPIRED state.
3200 If lease rebalancing must move leases, it tries first to move leases
3201 that belong to the peer in need.
3202
3203- The server no longer sends POOLREQ messages unless the pool is severely
3204 misbalanced in the peer's favor (see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more details).
3205
3206- Pool rebalance events no longer happen upon successfully allocating a
3207 lease. Instead, they happen on a schedule. See 'man dhcpd.conf' for the
3208 min-balance and max-balance statements for more information.
3209
334bf491
DH
3210- The DHCP Relay Agent Information Option / Link Selection Sub-Option
3211 is now supported. (See RFC3527 for details).
3212
3004bebf
DH
3213- A new DDNS related server option, update-conflict-detection, has been
3214 added. If this option is enabled, dhcpd will perform normal DHCID
3215 conflict resolution (the default). If this option is disabled, it will
3216 instead trust the assigned name implicitly (removing any other bindings
3217 on that name). This option has not been made available in dhclient.
3218
567e8561
DH
3219- In those cases where the DHCP software manufactures an IP header (to
3220 transmit via bpf, lpf, etc), the IP TTL the software selects has been
3221 increased from 16 to 128. This is intended to match Microsoft Windows
3222 DHCP Client behaviour, to increase compatibility.
3223
a396d25f
DH
3224- 'ignore client-updates;' now has behaviour that is different from
3225 'deny client-updates;'. The client's request is not truly ignored,
3226 rather it is encouraged. Should this value be configured, the server
3227 updates DNS as though client-updates were set to 'deny'. That is, it
3228 enters into DNS whatever it is configured to do already, provided it is
3229 configured to. Then it sends a response to the client that lets the
3230 client believe it is performing client updates (which it will), probably
3231 for a different name. In essence, this lets the client do as it will,
3232 ignoring this aspect of their request.

3247- A new common configuration executable statement, execute(), has been
3248 added. This permits dhcpd or dhclient to execute a named external

3250 language. Thanks to a patch written by Mattias Ronnblom, gotten to us
3251 via Robin Breathe.

DH
3253- A new dhcp server option 'adaptive-lease-time-threshold' has been added
3254 which causes the server to substantially reduce lease-times if there are
3255 few (configured percentage) remaining leases. Thanks to a patch submitted
3256 from Christof Chen.

3268- Assorted fixes for broken network devices: Packet length is now
3269 determined from the IP header length field to finally calculate the
3270 UDP payload length, because some NIC drivers return more data than
5a22eb63 3271 they actually received.

3276 incorrectly indicating 'up' state when any flags were set, rather than

3285- In the case where an "L2" DHCP Relay Agent (one that does not set giaddr)
3286 was directly attached to the same broadcast domain as the DHCP server,
3287 the RFC3046 relay agent information option was not being returned to the
3288 relay in the server's replies. This was fixed; the dhcp server no longer
3289 requires the giaddr to reply with relay agent information. Note that
3290 this also improves compatibility with L2 devices that "intercept" DHCP
3291 packets and expect relay agent information even in unicast (renewal)

3312- Some bugs were fixed in the 'emergency relay agent options hologram'
3313 which is used to retain relay agent option contents from when the
3314 client was in INIT or REBIND states. This should solve problems where
3315 relay agent options were not echoed from the server, even when giaddr
3316 was set.

DH
3321- The server's "by client-id" and "by hardware address" hash table lists
3322 are now sorted according to the preference to re-allocate that lease to
3323 returning clients. This should eliminate pool starvation problems
3324 arising when "INIT" clients were given new leases rather than presently

SK
3330 dhclient-script with the 'EXPIRE' state should it receive a NAK in
3331 response to a REQUEST. The client now iterates the PREINIT state

3344 was raised from 0 to 300. 0 is not thought to be sensible, and is
3345 known to be damaging.
3346

3348 state count calculations (free/active counts used for failover pool
3349 balancing).

DH
3363- If the dhclient were to receive a DHCPNAK while it was in the RENEW
3364 state (and consequently, had an active, 'bound' address and related
3365 configuration options), it would fail to 'tear down' this information
3366 before proceeding into INIT state. dhclient now iterates the dhclient-
3367 script with the 'EXPIRE' action to cause these teardowns prior to entering
1d3bfb17 3368 INIT state. Thanks to a patch from Chris Zimmerman.

DH
3388- Host declaration hardware addresses and client identifiers may only be

SK
3393- Several option codes that have been allocated since our last release
3394 have been named and documented.

3397 memory hash tables. In order to support options of these names that
3398 may appear in dhclient.leases or similar in previous versions, the
3399 parser will now find the new option code definition, or mock up a
3400 generic option code definition. This should result in a smooth
3401 transition from one name to the other, as the new name is used to
3402 write new output.

45d545f0 3416- Null-termination sensing for certain clients that unfortunately require
88cd8aca
DH
3417 it in DHCPINFORM processing was repaired.
3418
3419- The host-name option and a few others were moved from "X" format to "t"
3420 format to be compatible with new NULL handling functions.
3421
3422- DHCPINFORM processing is a little more careful about return addressing
3423 its responses, or if responding via a relay. The INFORM related
3424 messages also log the 'effective client ip address' rather than the
3425 client's supplied ciaddr (since some clients produce null ciaddrs).
3426
3427- The server was inappropriately sending leases to the RESET state in the
3428 event that multiple active leases were found to match a singly-identified
3429 client. This was changed to RELEASED (by accepting a different, ACTIVE
3430 binding, the client is implicitly releasing its lease). This repairs a
3431 bug wherein secondary servers in failover pairs detecting this condition
3432 move leases to RESET, and primaries refuse to accept that state
3433 transition (properly).
3434
3435- The memset-after-dmalloc() changes made in 3.0.4b1 have been backed out.
3436
3437 Changes since 3.0.4b1
3438
3439- Command line parsing in omshell was repaired - it no longer closes
3440 STDIN after reading one line.
3441
3442- The resolver library no longer closes the /etc/resolv.conf file
3443 descriptor it opened twice.
3444
3445- Changes to trailing NULL removal in 't' option-atoms has been rethought,
3446 it now includes 'd' (domain name) types, and tries hard not to rewind an
3447 option beyond the start of the text field it is un-terminating.
3448
3449 Changes since 3.0.3
3450
3451- A DDNS update handling function was misusing the DNS error codes, rather
3452 than the internal generic result enumeration. The result is a confusing
3453 syslog line, logging the wrong condition.
3454
3455- The DHCP Server was not checking pool balance in the case where it brought
3456 a non-ACTIVE lease out of storage for a client that was returning to use
3457 a lease it once had long ago, and had since expired.
3458
3459- Failover peers no longer bother to look for free leases to allocate when
3460 they already found the client's ACTIVE lease. DISCOVERs are load balanced
98bd7ca0 3461 whether freely-allocated or not, unless the server doubts the peer has
88cd8aca
DH
3462 leases to allocate.
3463
3464- Fixed a bug in dhcrelay agent addition code that suppressed trailing
45d545f0 3465 PAD options - it was suppressing only one trailing PAD option, rather
88cd8aca
DH
3466 than the entire block of them.
3467
3a16098f
DH
3468! Fixed some unlikely overlapping-region memcpy() bugs in dhcrelay agent
3469 option addition and stripping code. Added a few sanity checks. Although
3470 highly improbable, due to requiring the reception of a DHCP datagram well
3471 in excess of all known to be used physical MTU limitations, it is possible
3472 this may have been used in a stack overflow security vulnerability. Thanks
3473 to a patch from infamous42md.
3474
3475! Added some sanity checks to OMAPI connection/authentication code.
3476 Although highly improbable, due to having to deliver in excess of 2^32
3477 bytes of data via the OMAPI channel, not to mention requiring dhcpd to
3478 be able to malloc() a memory region 2^32 bytes in size, it was possible
3479 this might have resulted in a heap overflow security vulnerability.
3480 Thanks to a patch from infamous42md.

DH
3481
3482- dmalloc() memset()'s the non-debug (data) portion of the allocated
3483 memory to zero. Code that memset()'s the result returned by dmalloc() to
3484 zero is redundant. These redundancies were removed.
3485
3486- Some type declaration corrections to u_int16_t were made in common/tr.c
4b97eaff 3487 (Token Ring support) thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.

DH
3488
3489- A failover bug that was allowing leases that EXPIRED or were RELEASED
3490 where tsfp and tstp are identical timestamps to languish in these
3491 transitional states has been repaired. As a side effect, lease
3492 databases should be kept more consistent overall, not just for these
3493 transitional states.
3494
3495- If the lease db is deleted out from under the daemon, and it moves to rewrite
3496 the db, it will go ahead with the operation and move the new db into place
3497 once it detects the old db does not exist.
3498
3499- dhclient now ignores IRDA, SIT, and IEEE1394 network interfaces, as it
3500 is either nonsensical or (in the case of IEEE1394) is not known to support
3501 these interfaces. Thanks to Marius Gedminas and Andrew Pollock of Debian.
3502
3503- Some previously undocumented reasons for dhclient-script invoking has
45d545f0 3504 been documented in the dhclient-script.8 manpage.

DH
3505
3506- Failover potential expiry calculations (TSTP) have been corrected. Results
3507 should be substantially more consistent, and proper given the constraints.
3508
3509- Adjusted lease state validation checks in potential-conflict, to
3510 account for possible clock skew similarly to normal state, and several
3511 previously illegal transitions were made legal (ex: active->released).
3512
3513- An impossible sanity check was removed from omapi/buffer.c, thanks to a
3514 patch from 'infamous42md'.
3515
3516- An OMAPI host/network byte order problem in lease time values has been
3517 repaired.
3518
3519- Several minor bugs, largely relating to treating 8-byte time values as
3520 4-byte entities, have been repaired after careful review of the FreeBSD
3521 ports collection's patch set. Thanks to the nameless entities who have
3522 contributed to the FreeBSD ports.
3523
3524- When writing a trace file, the file is now created with permissions 0600,
3525 to help administrators avoid accidentally publicising sensitive config
3526 data.
3527
3528- The calculation of the maximum size of DHCP packets no longer includes
3529 Ethernet framing overhead. The result is that the 'Maximum Message
3530 Size' option advertised by clients, or the default value 576, is no
3531 longer reduced by 14 bytes, and instead directly reflects the IP level
3532 MTU (and the default, minimum allowed IP MTU of 576).
3533
3534- The special status of RELEASED/EXPIRED/RESET leases when a server
3535 is operating in partner-down was fixed. It no longer requires a
3536 lease be twice the MCLT beyond STOS to 'reallocate', and the expiry
3537 event to turn these into FREE leases without peer acknowledgement
3538 (after STOS+MCLT) has been repaired.
3539
3540- Compilation on older Solaris systems (lacking /usr/include/sys/int_types.h)
3541 has been repaired.
3542
3543- "append"ing a string onto the end of a "t" type option (such as the
3544 domain-name field) that had been improperly NULL-terminated by the
3545 DHCP server will no longer result in a truncated string containing
3546 only the option from the server, and not the expected appended value.

45d545f0 3552- The Linux build environment has had some minor improvements - better
88cd8aca
DH
3553 sensing of 64-bit pointer sizes (only used for establishing an icmp_id),
3554 and corrections to #if operators regarding LINUX_MAJOR should it ever
3555 move to 3.[01].x.
3556

3558 to open a new lease file to rewrite the lease state database.

3565- In response to reports that the software does not compile on GCC 4.0.0,
3566 -Werror was removed from Makefile.conf for all platforms that used it.
3567 We will address the true problem in a future release; this is a temporary
3568 workaround.

3570 Changes since 3.0.3b2

3576
3577- A bug was fixed in BOOTPREQUEST handling code wherein stale references to
3578 host records would be left behind on leases that were not allocated to the
3579 client currently booting (eg in the case where the host was denied booting).
3580
3581- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated to be more clear in regards to
3582 multiple host declarations (thanks to Vincent McIntyre). 'Interim' style
3583 dynamic updates were also retouched.

45d545f0 3588 peer after already choosing not to load balance the preceding DISCOVER.
98311e4b
DH
3589 The peer cannot allocate the originating server's lease.
3590
3591- In the case where a secondary server lost its stable storage while the
3592 primary was still in communications-interrupted, and came back online,
3593 the lease databases would not be fully transferred to the secondary.
3594 This was due to the secondary errantly sending an extra UPDREQ message
3595 when the primary made its state transition to PARTNER-DOWN known.
3596
3597- The package will now compile cleanly in gcc 3.3 and 3.4. As a side effect,
3598 lease structures will be 9 bytes smaller on all platforms. Thanks to
4b97eaff 3599 Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.

3600
3601- Interface discovery code in DISCOVER_UNCONFIGURED mode is now
3602 properly restricted to only detecting broadcast interfaces. Thanks
4b97eaff 3603 to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3604
3605- decode_udp_ip_header was changed so that the IP address was copied out
3606 to a variable, rather than referenced by a pointer. This enforces 4-byte
3607 alignment of the 32-bit IP address value. Thanks to a patch from Dr.
3608 Peter Poeml.
3609
3610- An incorrect log message was corrected thanks to a patch from
3611 Dr. Peter Poeml.
3612
3613- A bug in DDNS was repaired, where if the server's first DDNS action was
3614 a DDNS removal rather than a DDNS update, the resolver library's
3615 retransmit timer and retry timer was set to the default, implying a
3616 15 second timeout interval. Which is a little excessive in a synchronous,
3617 single-threaded system. In all cases, ISC DHCP should now hold fast to
3618 a 1-second timeout, trying only once.
3619
3620- The siaddr field was being improperly set to the server-identifier when
3621 responding to DHCP messages. RFC2131 clarified the siaddr field as
3622 meaning the 'next server in the bootstrap process', eg a tftp server.
3623 The siaddr field is now left zeroed unless next-server is configured.
3624
3625- mockup_lease() could have returned in an error condition (or in the
3626 condition where no fixed-address was found matching the shared
3627 network) with stale references to a host record. This is probably not
3628 a memory leak since host records generally never die anyway.
3629
3630- A bug was repaired where failover servers would let stale client identifiers
3631 persist on leases that were reallocated to new clients not sending an id.
3632
3633- Binding scopes ("set var = value;") are now removed from leases allocated
3634 by failover peers if the lease had expired. This should help reduce the
3635 number of stale binding scopes on leases.
3636
3637- A small memory leak was closed involving client identifiers larger than
3638 7 bytes, and failover.
3639
3640- Configuring a subnet in dhcpd.conf with a subnet mask of 32 bits might
3641 cause an internal function to overflow heap. Thanks to Jason Vas Dias
4b97eaff 3642 at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3643
3644- Some inconsistencies in treating numbers that the lexer parsed as 'NUMBER'
3645 or 'NUMBER_OR_NAME' was repaired. Hexadecimal parsing is affected, and
3646 should work better.
3647
3648- In several cases, parse warnings were being issued before the lexical
3649 token had been advanced to the token whose value was causing an error...
3650 causing parse warnings to claim the problem is on the wrong token.
3651
3652- Host declarations matching on client identifier for dynamic leases will
3653 no longer match fixed-address host declarations (this is now identical
3654 to behaviour for host records matching on hardware address).
3655
3656 Changes since 3.0.2rc3
3657
3658- A previously undocumented configuration directive, 'local-address',
3659 was documented in the dhcpd.conf manpage.
3660
3661 Changes since 3.0.2rc2
3662
45d545f0 3663- Two variables introduced in 3.0.2b1 were used without being initialized
98311e4b
DH
3664 in the case where neither the FILE nor SNAME fields were available for
3665 overloading. This was repaired.
3666
3667- A heretofore believed to be impossible corner case of the option
3668 overloading implementation turned out to be possible ("Unable to sort
3669 overloaded options after 10 tries."). The implementation was reworked
3670 to consider the case of an option so large it would require more than
3671 three chunks to fit.
3672
3673- Many other instances of variables being used without being initialized
3674 were repaired.
3675
3676- An uninitialized variable in omapi_io_destroy() led to the discovery
3677 that this function may result in orphaned pointers (and hence, a memory
3678 leak).
3679
3680 Changes since 3.0.2rc1
3681
3682- allocate_lease() was rewritten to repair a bug in which the server would
3683 try to allocate an ABANDONED lease when FREE leases were available.
3684
3685 Changes since 3.0.2b1
3686
3687- Some dhcp-eval.5 manpage formatting was repaired.
3688
3689 Changes since 3.0.1
3690
3691- A bug was fixed in the server's 'option overloading' implementation,
3692 where options loaded into the 'file' and 'sname' packet fields were
3693 not aligned precisely as rfc2131 dictates.
3694
3695- The FreeBSD client script was changed to support the case where a domain
3696 name was not provided by the server.
3697
3698- A memory leak in 'omshell' per each command line parsed was
3699 repaired, thanks to a patch from Jarkko Torppa.
3700
3701- Log functions writing to stderr were adjusted to use the STDERR_FILENO
3702 system definition rather than '2'. This is a no-op for 90% of platforms.
3703
3704- One call to trace_write_packet_iov() counted the number of io vectors
3705 incorrectly, causing inconsistent tracefiles. This was fixed.
3706
3707- Some expression parse failure memory leaks were closed.
3708
3709- A host byte order problem in tracefiles was repaired.
3710
3711- Pools configured in DHCPD for failover possessing permission lists that
adb95d23 3712 previously were assumed to not include dynamic bootp clients are now
98311e4b
DH
3713 a little more pessimistic. The result is, dhcpd will nag you about just
3714 about most pools that possess a 'allow' statement with no 'deny' that
3715 would definitely match a dynamic bootp client.
3716
3717- The 'ddns-update-style' configuration warning bit now insists that
3718 the configuration be globally scoped.
3719
3720- Two memory leaks in dhclient were closed thanks to a patch from Felix
3721 Farkas.
3722
3723- Some minor but excellently pedantic documentation errors were fixed
3724 thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
3725
3726- Bugs in operator precedence in executable statements have been repaired
3727 once again. More legal syntaxes should be parsed legally.
3728
3729- Failing to initialize a tracefile for any reason if a tracefile was
3730 specified is now a fatal error. Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
3731
3732- Corrected a bug in which the number of leases transferred as calculated
3733 by the failover primary and sent to peers in POOLRESP responses may be
3734 incorrect. This value is not believed to be used by other failover
3735 implementations, excepting perhaps as logged information.
3736
3737- Corrected a bug in which 'dhcp_failover_send_poolresp()' was in fact
3738 sending POOLREQ messages instead of POOLRESP mesasges. This message
3739 was essentially ignored since failover secondaries effectively do not
3740 respond to POOLREQ messages.
3741
3742- Type definitions for various bitwidths of integers in the sunos5-5
3743 build of ISC DHCP have been fixed. It should compile and run more
3744 easily when built in 64-bit for this platform.
3745
3746- "allow known-clients;" is now a legal syntax, to avoid confusion.
3747
3748- If one dhcp server chooses to 'load balance' a request to its failover
3749 peer, it first checks to see if it believes said peer has a free
3750 lease to allocate before ignoring the DISCOVER.
3751
3752- log() was logging a work buffer, rather than the value returned by
3753 executing the statements configured by the user. In some cases,
3754 the work buffer and the intended results were the same. In some other
3755 cases, they were not. This was fixed thanks to a patch from Gunnar
3756 Fjone and directconnect.no.
3757
3758- Compiler warnings for some string type conversions was fixed, thanks
3759 to Andreas Gustafsson.
3760
3761- The netbsd build environments were simplified to one, in which
3762 -Wconversion is not used, thanks to Andreas Gustafsson.
3763
3764- How randomness in the backoff-cutoff dhclient configuration variable
3765 is implemented was better documented in the manpage, and the behaviour
3766 of dhclient in REQUEST timeout handling was changed to match that of
3767 DISCOVER timeout handling.
3768
3769- Omapi was hardened against clients that pass in null values, thanks
3770 to a patch from Mark Jason Dominus.
3771
3772- A bug was fixed in dhclient that kept it from doing client-side
3773 ddns updates. Thanks to a patch from Andreas Gustafsson, which
3774 underwent some modification after review by Jason Vas Dias.
3775
3776- Failover implementations disconnected due to the network between
3777 them (rather than one of the two shutting down) will now try to
3778 re-establish the failover connection every 5 seconds, rather than
3779 to simply try once and give up until one of them is restarted.
3780 Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from Infoblox, and field testing
3781 by Greger V. Teigre which led to an enhancement to it.
3782
3783- A problem that kept DHCP Failover secondaries from tearing down
3784 ddns records was repaired. Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from
3785 Infoblox.
3786
3787- 64bit pointer sizes are detected properly on FreeBSD now.
3788
3789- A bug was repaired where the DHCP server would leave stale references
3790 to host records on leases it once thought about offering to certain
3791 clients. The result would be to apply host and 'known' scopes to the
3792 wrong clients (possibly denying booting). NOTE: The 'mis-host' patch
3793 that was being circulated as a workaround is not the way this bug was
3794 fixed. If you were a victim of this bug in 3.0.1, you are cautioned
3795 to proceed carefully and see if it fixes your problem.
3796
3797- A bug was repaired in the server's DHCPINFORM handling, where it
3798 tried to divine the client's address from the source packet and
3799 would get it wrong. Thanks to Anshuman Singh Rawat.
3800
3801- A log message was introduced to help illuminate the case where the
3802 server was unable to find a lease to assign to any BOOTP client.
3803 Thanks to Daniel Baker.
3804
3805- A minor dhcpd.conf.5 manpage error was fixed.
3806
3807 Changes since 3.0.1rc14
3808
3809- The global variable 'cur_time' was centralized and is now uniformly of a
3810 type #defined in system-dependent headers. It had previously been defined
3811 in one of many places as a 32-bit value, and this causes mayhem on 64-bit
3812 big endian systems. It probably wasn't too healthy on little endian
3813 systems either.
3814
3815- A printf format string error introduced in rc14 was repaired.
3816
3817- AIX system-dependent header file was altered to only define NO_SNPRINTF
3818 if the condition used to #ifdef in vsnprintf in AIX' header files
3819 is false.
3820
3821- The Alpha/OSF system-dependent header file was altered to define
3822 NO_SNPRINTF on OS revisions older than 4.0G.
3823
3824- omapip/test.c had string.h added to its includes.
3825
3826 Changes since 3.0.1rc13
3827
3828! CAN-2004-0460 - CERT VU#317350: Five stack overflow exploits were closed
3829 in logging messages with excessively long hostnames provided by the
3830 clients. It is highly probable that these could have been used by
3831 attackers to gain arbitrary root access on systems using ISC DHCP 3.0.1
3832 release candidates 12 or 13. Special thanks to Gregory Duchemin for
3833 both finding and solving the problem.
3834
3835! CAN-2004-0461 - CERT VU#654390: Once the above was closed, an opening
45d545f0 3836 in log_*() functions was evidenced, on some specific platforms where
98311e4b
DH
3837 vsnprintf() was not believed to be available and calls were wrapped to
3838 sprintf() instead. Again, credit goes to Gregory Duchemin for finding
3839 the problem. Calls to snprintf() are now linked to a distribution-local
3840 snprintf implementation, only in those cases where the architecture is
3841 not known to provide one (see includes/cf/[arch].h). If you experience
3842 linking problems with snprintf/vsnprintf or 'isc_print_' functions, this
3843 is where to look. This vulnerability did not exist in any previously
3844 published version of ISC DHCP.
3845
3846- Compilation on hpux 11.11 was repaired.
3847
3848- 'The cross-compile bug fix' was backed out.
3849
3850 Changes since 3.0.1rc12
3851
3852- Fixed a bug in omapi lease lookup function, to form the hardware
3853 address for the hash lookup correctly, thanks to a patch from
3854 Richard Hirst.
3855
3856- Fixed a bug where dhcrelay was sending relayed responses back to the
3857 broadcast address, but with the source's unicast mac address. Should
3858 now conform to rfc2131 section 4.1.
3859
3860- Cross-compile bug fix; use $(AR) instead of ar. Thanks to Morten Brorup.
3861
3862- Fixed a crash bug in dhclient where dhcpd servers that do not provide
3863 renewal times results in an FPE. As a side effect, dhclient can now
3864 properly handle 0xFFFFFFFF (-1) expiry times supplied by servers. Thanks
3865 to a patch from Burt Silverman.
3866
3867- The 'ping timeout' debugs from rc12 were removed to -DDEBUG only,
45d545f0 3868 and reformatted to correct a compilation error on Solaris platforms.
98311e4b
DH
3869
3870- A patch was applied which fixes a case where leases read from the
3871 leases database do not properly over-ride previously read leases.
3872
3873- dhcpctl.3 manpage was tweaked.
3874
3875 Changes since 3.0.1rc11
3876
3877- A patch from Steve Campbell was applied with minor modifications to
3878 permit reverse dns PTR record updates with values containing spaces.
3879
3880- A patch from Florian Lohoff was applied with some modifications to
3881 dhcrelay. It now discards packets whose hop count exceeds 10 by default,
3882 and a command-line option (-c) can be used to set this threshold.
3883
3884- A failover bug relating to identifying peers by name length instead of
3885 by name was fixed.
3886
45d545f0 3887- Declaring failover configs within shared-network statements should no
98311e4b
DH
3888 longer result in error.
3889
3890- The -nw command line option to dhclient now works.
3891
3892- Thanks to a patch from Michael Richardson:
3893 - Some problems with long option processing have been fixed.
3894 - Some fixes to minires so that updates of KEY records will work.
3895
3896- contrib/ms2isc was updated by Shu-Min Chang of the Intel Corporation.
3897 see contrib/ms2isc/readme.txt for revision notes.
3898
3899- Dhclient no longer uses shell commands to kill another instance of
3900 itself, it sends the signal directly. Thanks to a patch from Martin
3901 Blapp.
3902
3903- The FreeBSD dhclient-script was changed so that a failure to write to
3904 /etc/resolv.conf does not prematurely end the script. This keeps dhclient
3905 from looping infinitely when this is the case. Thanks to a patch from
3906 Martin Blapp.
3907
3908- A patch from Bill Stephens was applied which resolves a problem with lease
3909 expiry times in failover configurations.
3910
3911- A memory leak in configuration parsing was closed thanks to a patch from
3912 Steve G.
3913
3914- The function which discovers interfaces will now skip non-broadcast or
3915 point-to-point interfaces, thanks to a patch from David Brownlee.
3916
3917- Options not yet known by the dhcpd or dhclient have had their names
3918 changed such that they do not contain # symbols, in case they should ever
3919 appear in a lease file. An option that might have been named "#144" is
3920 now "unknown-144".
3921
3922- Another patch from Bill Stephens which allows the ping-check timeout to
3923 be configured as 'ping-timeout'. Defaults to 1.
3924
3925 Changes since 3.0.1rc10
3926
3927- Potential buffer overflows in minires repaired.
3928
3929- A change to the linux client script to use /bin/bash, since /bin/sh may
3930 not be bash.
3931
3932- Some missing va_end cleanups thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
3933
3934- A correction of boolean parsing syntax validation - some illegal syntaxes
3935 that worked before are now detected and produce errs, some legal syntaxes
3936 that errored before will now work properly.
3937
3938- Some search-and-replace errors that caused some options to change their
3939 names was repaired.
3940
3941- Shu-min Chang of the Intel corporation has contributed a perl script and
3942 module that converts the MS NT4 DHCP configuration to a ISC DHCP3
3943 configuration file.
3944
3945- Applied the remainder of the dhcpctl memory leak patch provided by Bill
3946 Squier at ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
3947
3948- Missing non-optional failover peer configurations will now result in a soft
3949 error rather than a null dereference.
3950
3951 Changes since 3.0.1rc9
3952
3953- A format string was corrected to fix compiler warnings.
3954
3955- A number of spelling corrections were made in the man pages.
3956
3957- The dhclient.conf.5 man page was changed to refer to do-forward-updates
3958 rather than a configuration option that doesn't exist.
3959
3960- A FreeBSD-specific bug in the interface removal handling was fixed.
3961
3962- A Linux-specific Token Ring detection problem was fixed.
3963
3964- Hashes removed from as-yet-unknown agent options, having those options
3965 appear in reality before we know about them will no longer produce
3966 self-corrupting lease databases.
3967
3968- dhclient will use the proper port numbers now when using the -g option.
3969
3970- A order-of-operations bug with 2 match clauses in 1 class statement is
3971 fixed thanks to a patch from Andrew Matheson.
3972
3973- Compilation problems on Solaris were fixed.
3974
3975- Compilation problems when built with DEBUG or DEBUG_PACKET were repaired.
3976
3977- A fix to the dhcp ack process which makes certain group options will be
3978 included in the first DHCPOFFER message was made thanks to a patch from
3979 Ling Gou.
3980
3981- A few memory leaks were repaired thanks to patches from Bill Squier at
3982 ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
3983
3984- A fix for shared-networks that sometimes give clients options for the
3985 wrong subnets (in particular, 'option routers') was applied, thanks to
3986 Ted Lemon for the patch.
3987
3988- Omshell's handling of dotted octets as values was changed such that dots
3989 one after the other produce zero values in the integer string.
3990
3991 Changes since 3.0.1rc8
3992
3993- Fix a format string vulnerability in the server that could lead to a
3994 remote root compromise (discovered by NGSEC Research Team, www.ngsec.com).
3995
3996- Add additional support for NetBSD/sparc64.
3997
3998- Fix a bug in the command-line parsing of the client. Also, resolve
3999 a memory leak.
4000
4001- Add better support for shells other than bash in the Linux client
4002 script.
4003
4004- Various build fixes for modern versions of FreeBSD and Linux.
4005
4006- Fix a bad bounds check when printing binding state names.
4007
4008- Clarify documentation about fixed-address and multiple addresses.
4009
4010- Fix a typo in the authoritative error message.
4011
4012- Make a log entry when we can't write a billing class.
4013
4014- Use conversion targets that are the right size on all architectures.
4015
4016- Increment the hop count when relaying.
4017
4018- Log a message when lease state is changed through OMAPI.
4019
4020- Don't rerun the shared_network when evaluating the pool.
4021
4022- Fix a reversed test in the parser.
4023
4024- Change the type of rbuf_max.
4025
4026- Make FTS_LAST a manifest constant to quiet warnings.
4027
4028 Changes since 3.0.1rc7
4029
4030- Fix two compiler warnings that are generated when compiling on Solaris
4031 with gcc. These stop the build, even though they weren't actually
4032 errors, because we prefer that our builds generate no warnings.
4033
4034 Changes since 3.0.1rc6
4035
4036- Don't allow a lease that's in the EXPIRED, RELEASED or RESET state
4037 to be renewed.
4038
4039- Implement lease stealing for cases where the primary has fewer leases
4040 than the secondary, as called for by the standard.
4041
4042- Add a fudge factor to the lease expiry acceptance code, (suggested
4043 by Kevin Miller of CMU).
4044
4045- Fix a bug in permit_list_match that made it much too willing to say
4046 that two permit lists matched.
4047
4048- Unless DEBUG_DNS_UPDATES is defined, print more user-friendly (and
4049 also more compact) messages about DNS updates.
4050
4051- Fix a bug in generating wire-format domain names for the FQDN option.
4052
4053- Fix a bug where the FQDN option would not be returned if the client
4054 requested it, contrary to the standard.
4055
4056- On Darwin, use the FreeBSD DHCP client script.
4057
4058- On NetBSD/sparc, don't check for casting warnings.
4059
4060- Add a flag in the DHCP client to disable updating the client's A
4061 record when sending an FQDN option indicating that the client is
4062 going to update its A record.
4063
4064- In the client, don't attempt a DNS update until one second after
4065 configuring the new IP address, and if the update times out, keep
4066 trying until a response, positive or negative, is received from the
4067 DNS server.
4068
4069- Fix an uninitialized memory bug in the DHCP client.
4070
4071- Apply some FreeBSD-specific bug fixes suggested by Murray Stokely.
4072
4073- Fix a bug in ns_parserr(), where it was returning the wrong sort
4074 of result code in some cases (suggested by Ben Harris of the
4075 NetBSD project).
4076
4077- Fix a bug in is_identifier(), where it was checking against EOF
4078 instead of the END_OF_FILE token (also suggested by Ben Harris).
4079
4080- Fix a bug where if an option universe contained no options, the
4081 DHCP server could dump core (Walter Steiner).
4082
4083- Fix a bug in the handling of encapsulated options.
4084
4085- Fix a bug that prevented NWIP suboptions from being processed.
4086
4087- Delete the FTS_BOOTP and FTS_RESERVED states and implement them
4088 as modifier flags to the FTS_ACTIVE state, as called for in the
4089 failover protocol standard.
4090
4091- Fix bugs in the pool merging code that resulted in references and
4092 dereferences of null pointers. This bug had no impact unless the
4093 POINTER_DEBUG flag was defined.
4094
4095- In the server, added a do-forward-updates flag that can be used to
4096 disable forward updates in all cases, so that sites that want the
4097 clients to take sole responsibility for updating their A record can
4098 do so.
4099
4100- Make it possible to disable optimization of PTR record updates.
4101
4102 Changes since 3.0.1rc5
4103
4104- Include some new documentation and changes provided by Karl Auer.
4105
4106- Add a workaround for some Lexmark printers that send a double-NUL-
4107 terminated host-name option, which would break DNS updates.
4108
4109- Fix an off-by-one error in the MAC-address checking code for
4110 DHCPRELEASE that was added in 3.0.1rc5.
4111
4112- Fix a bug where client-specific information was not being discarded
4113 from the lease when it expired or was released, resulting in
4114 problems if the lease was reallocated to a different client.
4115
4116- If more than one allocation pool is specified that has the same set
4117 of constraints as another allocation pool on the same shared
4118 network, merge the two pools.
4119
4120- Don't print an error in fallback_discard, since this just causes
4121 confusion and does not appear to be helping to encourage anyone to
4122 fix this bug.
4123
4124 Changes since 3.0.1rc4
4125
4126- Fix a bug that would cause the DHCP server to spin if asked to parse
4127 a certain kind of incorrect statement.
4128
4129- Fix a related bug that would prevent an error from being reported in
4130 the same case.
4131
4132- Additional documentation.
4133
4134- Make sure that the hardware address matches the lease when
4135 processing a DHCPRELEASE message.
4136
4137 Changes since 3.0.1rc3
4138
4139- A minor bug fix in the arguments to a logging function call.
4140- Documentation update for dhcpd.conf.
4141
adbef119 4142 Changes since 3.0.1rc2
98311e4b
DH
4143
4144- Allow the primary to send a POOLREQ message. This isn't what the current
4145 failover draft says to do, so we may have to back it out if I can't get the
4146 authors to relent, but the scheme for balancing that's specified in the
4147 current draft seems needlessly hairy, so I'm floating a trial balloon.
4148 The rc1 code did not implement the method described in the draft either.
4149
adbef119 4150 Changes since 3.0.1rc1
98311e4b
DH
4151
4152- Treat NXDOMAIN and NXRRSET as success when we are trying to delete a
4153 domain or RRSET. This allows the DHCP server to forget about a name
4154 it added to the DNS once it's been removed, even if the DHCP server
4155 wasn't the one that removed it.
4156
4157- Install defaults for failover maximum outstanding updates and maximum
4158 silent time. This prevents problems that might occur if these values
4159 were not configured.
4160
4161- Don't do DDNS deletes if ddns-update-style is none.
4162
4163- Return relay agent information options in DHCPNAK. This prevents DHCPNAK
4164 messages from being dropped when the relay agent information option contains
4165 routing information.
4166
4167- Fix a problem where coming up in recover wouldn't result in an update
4168 request being sent.
4169
4170- Add some more chatty messages when we start a recovery update and when it's
4171 done.
4172
4173- Fix a possible problem where some state might have been left around
4174 after the peer lost contact and regained contact about how many updates
4175 were pending.
4176
4177- Don't nix a lease update because of a lease conflict. This test has
4178 never (as far as I know) prevented a mistake, and it appears to cause
4179 problems with failover.
4180
4181- Add support in rc history code for keeping a selective history, rather
4182 than a history of all references and dereferences. This code is only used
4183 when extensive additional debugging is enabled.

4187- Make allocators for hash tables. As a side effect, this fixes a memory
4188 smash in the subclass allocation code.
4189
4190- Fix a small bug in omshell where if you try to close an object when
4191 no object is open, it dumps core.
4192
4193- Fix an obscure coredump that could occur on shutdown.
4194
4195- Fix a bug in the recording of host declaration rubouts in the lease file.
4196
4197- Fix two potential spins in the host deletion code.
4198
4199- Fix a core dump that would happen if an application tried to update
4200 a host object attribute with a null value.
4201

4207
4208- Print a couple of new warnings when parsing the configuration file
4209 when crucial information is left out.
4210
4211- Log "no free leases" as an error.
4212
4213- Documentation updates.

4220 structure wasn't zeroed.
4221
4222- Fix some failover state transitions that were being handled
4223 incorrectly.
4224
4225- When supersede_lease is called on a lease whose end time has already
4226 expired, but for which a state transition has not yet been done, do
4227 a state transition. This fixes the case where if the secondary
4228 allocated a lease to a client and the lease "expired" while the
4229 secondary was in partner-down, no expiry event would actually
4230 happen, so the lease would remain active until the primary was
4231 restarted.
4232
4233 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 10
4234
4235- Fix a bug that was preventing released leases from changing state
4236 in failover-enabled pools.
4237
4238- Fix a core dump in the client identifier finder code (for host
4239 declarations).
4240
4241- Finish fixing a bug where bogus data would sometimes get logged to
4242 the dhclient.leases file because it was opened as descriptor 2.
4243
4244- Fix the Linux dhclient-script according to suggestions made by
4245 several people on the dhcp-client mailing list.
4246
4247- Log successful DNS updates at LOG_INFO, not LOG_ERROR.
4248
4249- Print an error message and refuse to run if a failover peer is
4250 defined but not referenced by any pools.

4269 This was introduced in rc8pl1 as an unintended result of the memory
4270 leakage fixes that were in pl1.
4271
4272- Fix a long-standing bug where the server would record that an update
4273 had been done for a client with no name, even though no update had
4274 been done, and then when the client's lease expired the deletion of
4275 that nonexistant record would time out because the name was the null
9a111ee8 4276 string.

4283 one-lease-per-client was enabled.
4284
4285- Fix a bug that was causing core dumps on BSD/os in the presence of
4286 malformed packets.
4287
4288- In partner-down state, don't restrict lease lengths to MCLT.
4289
4290- On the failover secondary, record the MCLT received from the primary
4291 so that if we come up without a connection to the primary we don't
4292 wind up giving out zero-length leases.
4293
4294- Fix some compilation problems on BSD/os.
4295

4297

4301 make the message clearer when a key algorithm isn't supported.
4302
4303- Fix a bug in the tracing code that prevented trace runs that used
4304 tcp connections from being played back.
4305

4307 on exit.
4308
4309- Make the client release the lease correctly on shutdown.
4310
4311- Add some configurability to the build system.
4312
4313- Install omshell manual page in man1, not man8.
4314
4315- Craig Gwydir sent in a patch that fixes a long-standing bug in the
4316 DHCP client that could cause core dumps, but that for some reason
4317 hadn't been noticed until now.
4318
4319 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 7
4320
4321- Fix a bug in failover where we weren't sending updates after a
4322 transition from communications-interrupted to normal.
4323
4324- Handle expired/released/reset -> free transition according to the
4325 protocol specification (this works - the other way not only wasn't
4326 conformant, but also didn't work).
4327
4328- Add a control object in both client and server that allows either
4329 daemon to be shut down cleanly.
4330
4331- When writing a lease, if we run out of disk space, shut down the
4332 output file and insist on writing a new one before proceeding.
4333
4334- In the server, if the OMAPI listener port is occupied, keep trying
4335 to get it, rather than simply giving up and exiting.
4336
4337- Support fetching variables from leases and also updating and adding
4338 variables to leases via OMAPI.
4339
4340- If two failover peers have wildly different clocks, refuse to start
4341 doing failover.
4342
4343- Fix a bug in the DNS update code that could cause core dumps when
4344 running on alpha processors.

4347 patch from Andrey M Linkevitch.
4348

4350
4351- Install omshell (including new documentation).
4352
4353- Support DNS updates in the client (this is a very obscure feature
4354 that most DHCP client users probably will not be able to use).
4355
4356- Somewhat cleaner status logging in the client.
4357
4358- Make OMAPI key naming syntax compatible with the way keys are
4359 actually named (key names are domain names).
4360
4361- Fix a bug in the lease file writer.
4362
4363- Install DHCP ISC headers in a different place than BIND 9 ISC
4364 headers, to avoid causing trouble in BIND 9 builds.
4365
4366- Don't send updates for attributes on an object when the attributes
4367 haven't changed. Support deleting attributes on remote objects.
4368
4369- Fix a number of bugs in omshell, and add the unset and refresh
4370 statements.
4371
4372- Handle disconnects in OMAPI a little bit more intelligently (so that
4373 the caller gets ECONNRESET instead of EINVAL).
4374

4376 leases when the try to renew their leases while failover is
4377 operating.

4384 declaration, if the client identifier was longer than nine bytes.

4397 chains from being freed upon removal of the last reference external
4398 to the chain.

4419
4420- In failover, correctly handle expiration of leases. Previously,
4421 leases would never be reclaimed because they couldn't make the
4422 transition from EXPIRED to FREE.
4423
4424- Fix some broken failover state transitions.
4425
4426- Documentation fixes.
4427
4428- Take out an unnecessary check in DHCP relay agent information option
4429 stashing code that was preventing REBINDING clients from rebinding.
4430
4431- Prevent failover peers from allocating leases in DHCPREQUEST
4432 processing if the lease belongs to the other server.
4433
4434- Record server version in lease file introductory comment.
4435
4436- Correctly report connection errors in OMAPI and failover.
4437

4439 case-insensitive.

98311e4b 4443- If a signature algorithm is not terminated with '.', terminate it so
eaf0b302
TL
4444 that comparisons between fully-qualified names will work

4446
4447- Different SIOCGIFCONF probe code, may "fix" problem on some Linux
4448 systems with the probe not working correctly.

4474
4475- Change the conditions under which a DHCPRELEASE is actually
4476 committed to be consistent with lease binding states rather than
98311e4b 4477 using the lease end time. This may fix some problems with the
892fe689
TL
4478 billing class code.
4479
4480- Fix a bug where lease updates would fail on Digital Unix (and maybe
4481 others) because malloc was called with a size of zero.
4482
4483- Fix a core dump that happens when the DHCP server can't create its
4484 trace file.

TL
4488- Fix the dhcp_failover_put_message to not attempt to allocate a
4489 zero-length buffer. Some versions of malloc() fail if you try to
4490 allocate a zero-length buffer, and this was causing problems on,
4491 e.g., Digital Unix.
4492
4493- Fix a case where the failover code was printing an error message
4494 when no error had occurred.
4495
4496- Fix a problem where when a server went down and back up again, the
4497 peer would not see a state transition and so would stay in the
4498 non-communicating state.
4499
4500- Be smart about going into recover_wait.
4501
4502- Fix a problem in the failover implementation where peers would fail
4503 to come into sync if interrupted in the RECOVER state. This could
4504 have been the cause of some problems people have reported recently.
4505
4506- Fix a problem with billing classes where they would not be unbilled
4507 when the client lease expired.
4508
4509- If select fails, figure out which descriptor is bad, and cut it out
4510 of the I/O loop. This prevents a potentially nasty spin. I
4511 haven't heard any report it in a while, but it came up consistently
4512 in testing.
4513
4514- Fix a bug in the relay agent where if you specified interfaces on
4515 the command line, it would fail.
4516
4517- Fix a couple of small bugs in the omapi connection object (no known
4518 user impact).
4519
4520- Add the missing 3.0 Beta 1 lease conversion script.
4521

4523 they're executable.

4568 billing class statement, and the lease already has a billing class,
4569 unbill the old class.
4570
4571- When processing failover transactions, where acks will be deferred,
4572 process the state transition immediately.
4573
4574- Don't try to use the new SIOCGIFCONF buffer size detection code on
4575 Linux 2.0, which doesn't provide this functionality.

4582
4583- Document the -n and -g flags to the client.
4584
4585- Make sure there is always a stdin and stdout on startup. This
4586 prevents shell scripts from accidentally writing error messages into
4587 configuration files that happen to be opened as stderr.
4588
4589- If an interface is removed, the client will now notice that it is
4590 gone rather than spinning. This has only been tested on NetBSD.
4591
4592- The client will attempt to get an address even if it can't create a
4593 lease file.

4640- Implement omshell, which can be used to do arbitrary things to the
4641 server (in theory). (Damien Neil)
4642
4643- Fix a case where if a client had two different leases the server could
4644 actually dereference the second one when it hadn't been referenced,
4645 leading to memory corruption and a core dump. (James Brister)
4646
4647- Fix a case where a client could request the address of another client's
4648 lease, but find_lease wouldn't detect that the other client had it, and
4649 would attempt to allocate it to the client, resulting in a lease conflict
4650 message.
4651
4652- Fix a case where a client with more than one client identifier could be
4653 given a lease where the hardware address was correct but the client
4654 identifier was not, resulting in a lease conflict message.
4655
98311e4b 4656- Fix a problem where the server could write out a colon-separated
3350f5b7
TL
4657 hex list as a value for a variable, which would then not parse.
4658 The fix is to always write strings as quoted strings, with any
4659 non-printable characters quoted as octal escape sequences. So
4660 a file written the old way still won't work, but new files written
4661 this way will work.

4666 break any configuration files that use the option-nnn convention.
4667 If you want to continue to use this convention for some options,
4668 please be sure to write a definition, like this:

4675 DHCPREQUEST/DHCPACK/DHCPREQUEST/DHCPNAK sequence. This was the
4676 result of a deceptively silly bug in supersede_lease.

4691- Add support for transaction tracing. This allows the state of the
4692 DHCP server on startup, and all the subsequent transactions, to be
4693 recorded in a file which can then be played back to reproduce the
4694 behaviour of the DHCP server. This can be used to quickly
4695 reproduce bugs that cause core dumps or corruption, and also for
4696 tracking down memory leaks.
4697

4699 package which should clear up problems people have been seeing on
4700 Solaris.

4706- Fix a bug in DHCPREQUEST handling that resulted in DHCPNAK messages
4707 not being send in some cases when they were needed.
4708
4709- Make the lease structure somewhat more compact.
4710
4711- Make initial failover startup *much* faster. This was researched
4712 and implemented by Damien Neil.
4713
4714- Add a --version flag to all executables, which prints the program
4715 name and version to standard output.
4716
4717- Don't rewrite the lease file every thousand leases.

4727 DHCP client script on the DHCP client command line.
4728
4729- Fix client medium support, which had been broken for some time.
4730
4731- Fix a bug in the DHCP client initial startup backoff interval, which
4732 would cause two DHCPDISCOVERS to be sent back-to-back on startup.

TL
4751
4752- Finish fixing a long-standing bug in the agent options code. This
4753 was causing core dumps and failing to operate correctly - in
4754 particular, agent option stashing wasn't working. Agent option
4755 stashing should now be working, meaning that agent options can be
4756 used in class statements to control address allocation.
4757
4758- Fix up documentation.
4759
4760- Fix a couple of small memory leaks that would have added up
4761 significantly in a high-demand situation.
4762
4763- Add a log-facility configuration parameter.
4764
4765- Fix a compile error on some older operating systems.
4766
4767- Add the ability in the client to execute certain statements before
4768 transmitting packets to the server. Handy for debugging; not much
4769 practical use otherwise.
4770
4771- Don't send faked-out giaddr when renewing or bound - again, useful
4772 for debugging.

4775
4776- Fixed a problem where the fqdn decoder would sometimes try to store
4777 an option with an (unsigned) negative length, resulting in a core
4778 dump on some systems.
4779
4780- Work around the Win98 DHCP client, which NUL-terminates the FQDN
4781 option.
4782
4783- Work around Win98 and Win2k clients that will claim they want to do
4784 the update even when they don't have any way to do it.
4785
4786- Fix some log messages that can be printed when failover is operating
4787 that were not printing enough information.
4788
4789- It was possible for a DHCPDISCOVER to get an allocation even when
4790 the state machine said the server shouldn't be responding.
4791
4792- Don't load balance DHCPREQUESTs from clients in RENEWING and
4793 REBINDING, since in RENEWING, if we heard it, it's for us, and in
4794 REBINDING, the client wouldn't have got to REBINDING if its primary
4795 were answering.
4796
4797- When we get a bogus state lease binding state transition, don't do
4798 the transition.

4807- Albert Herranz tracked down and fixed a subtle bug in the base64
4808 decoder that would prevent any key with an 'x' in its base64
4809 representation from working correctly.
4810
4811- Thanks to Chris Cheney and Michael Sanders, we have a fix for the
4812 hang that they both spotted in the DHCP server - when
4813 one-lease-per-client was set, the code to release the "other" lease
4814 could spin.
4815
4816- Fix a problem with alignment of the input buffer in bpf in cases
4817 where two packets arrive in the same bpf read.
4818
4819- Fix a problem where the relay agent would crash if you specified an
4820 interface name on the command line.
4821
4822- Add the ability to conditionalize client behaviour based on the
4823 client state.
4824
4825- Add support for the FQDN option, and added support for a new way of
4826 doing ddns updates (ddns update style interim) that allows more than
4827 one DHCP server to update the DNS for the same network(s). This
4828 was implemented by Damien Neil with some additional functionality
4829 added by Ted Lemon.
4830
4831- Damien added a "log" statement, so that the configuration file can
4832 be made to log debugging information and other information.
4833
4834- Fixed a bug that caused option buffers not to be terminated with an
4835 end option.
4836
4837- Fixed a long-standing bug in the support for option spaces where the
4838 options are stored as an ordered list rather than in a hash table,
4839 which could theoretically result in memory pool corruption.
4840
4841- Prevent hardware declarations with no actual hardware address from
4842 being written as something unparsable, and behave correctly in the
4843 face of a null hardware address on input.
4844
4845- Allow key names to be FQDNs, and qualify the algorithm name if it is
4846 specified unqualified.
4847
4848- Modify the DDNS update code so that it never prints the "resolver
4849 failed" message, but instead says *why* the resolver failed.
4850
4851- Officially support the subnet selection option, which now has an
4852 RFC.
4853
4854- Fix a build bug on MacOS X.
4855
4856- Allow administrator to disable ping checking.

4873- Stash agent options on client leases by default, and use the stashed
4874 options at renewal time.
4875

4877 configuration language.
4878
4879- Fix a core dump in the DNS update code.

4882 done when no client hostname was received.
4883
4884- Fix expression evaluation debugging printfs.
4885
4886- Teach pretty_print_option to print options in option spaces other than
4887 the DHCP option space.
4888
4889- Add a warning message if the RHS of a not is not boolean.
4890
4891- Never select for more than a day, because some implementations of
4892 select will just fail if the timeout is too long (!).
4893
4894- Fix a case where a DHCPDISCOVER from an unknown network would be
4895 silently dropped.
4896
4897- Fix a bug where if a client requested an IP address for which a different
4898 client had the lease, the DHCP server would reallocate it anyway.
4899
4900- Fix the DNS update code so that if the client changes its name, the DNS
4901 will be correctly updated.

4914- Fix a possible DoS attack where a client could cause the checksummer
4915 to dump core. This was a read, not a write, so it shouldn't be
4916 possible to exploit it any further than that.
4917
4918- Implement client- and server-side support for using the Client FQDN
4919 option.
4920
4921- Support for other option spaces in the client has been added. This
4922 means that it is now possible to define a vendor option space on the
4923 client, request options in that space from the server (which must
4924 define the same option space), and then use those options in the
4925 client. This also allows NWIP and Client FQDN options to be used
4926 meaningfully.
4927
4928- Add object initializer support. This means that objects can now be
4929 initialized to something other than all-zeros when allocated, which
4930 makes, e.g., the interface object support code a little more robust.
4931
4932- Fix an off-by-one bug in the host stuffer. This was causing host
4933 deletes not the work, and may also have been causing OMAPI
4934 connections to get dropped. Thanks to James Brister for tracking
4935 this one down!
4936
4937- Fixed a core dump in the interface discovery code that is triggered
4938 when there is no subnet declaration for an interface, but the server
4939 decides to continue running. Thanks to Shane Kerr for tracking

4962 dump on Solaris (and probably elsewhere).
4963
4964- Add some more safety checks in error logging code.
4965
4966- Add support for ISC_R_INCOMPLETE in OMAPI protocol connection code.
4967
4968- Fix relay agent so that if an interface is specified on the command
4969 line, the relay agent does not dump core.
4970
4971- Fix class matching so that match if can be combined with match or
4972 spawn with.
4973
4974- Do not allow spurious leases in the lease database to introduce
4975 potentially bogus leases into the in-memory database.
4976
4977- Fix a byte-order problem in the client hardware address type code
4978 for OMAPI.
4979

4981 can install in host declarations.

5014 lease renewal time.
5015

5023 caused values not to be recorded on leases.
