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

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

55 Changes since 4.3.3
56
555093da
TM
57- Corrected a static analyzer warning in common/execute.c
58 [ISC-Bugs #40374]
e82906fc 59
555093da
TM
60- ISC DHCP now follows the common convention to use the base name a
61 program is invoked with (aka argv[0], vs. a builtin name) for
62 logs. This should help differentiate syslog entires for DHCPv4 and
63 DHCPv6 servers. You can define OLD_LOG_NAME in includes/site.h to
64 keep the previous behavior.
65 [ISC-Bugs #38692]
20931f53 66
555093da
TM
67- The linux packet filter code now correctly treats only least significant
68 12 bits an inbound packet's TCI value as the VLAN id (per IEEE 802.1Q).
69 Prior to this it was using the entire 16 bit value as the VLAN id and
70 incorrectly discarding packets. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for
71 reporting this issue and supplying its patch.
72 [ISC-Bugs #40591]
5cc6f201 73
e8e6768a
TM
74- Fixed several issues static analysis issues such as potential null
75 references, unchecked strdup returns. Thanks to Bill Parker (wp02855 at
76 gmail dot com) who identified these issues and supplied patches to
77 address them.
88c3ff5d 78 [ISC-Bugs #40754]
e8e6768a 79 [ISC-Bugs #40823]
88c3ff5d 80
555093da
TM
81- Corrected compilation errors that prohibited building the server
82 and its ATF unit tests when failover is disabled.
83 [ISC-Bugs #40372]
f10cbbfa 84
555093da
TM
85- Added the lease address to the end of the debug level log message
86 emitted when an existing lease is renewed within the dhcp-cache-threshold.
87 Thanks to Nathan Neulinger at Missouri S&T for suggesting the change.
88 [ISC-Bugs #40598]
5fc79cfd 89
555093da
TM
90- Added dhcpv6 and delayed-ack to settings listed in the "Features:"
91 section of the configure script output. Additionally, all of the
92 features reported on will now always show either a "yes" or "no"
93 value. Prior to this features left to their default setting would
94 not show a value.
95 [ISC-Bugs #40381]
96
97- Added a parameter, authoring-byte-order, to the lease file. This value
98 is automatically added to the top of new lease files by the server and
99 indicates the internal byte order (big endian or little endian) of the
100 server. This permits lease files generated on a server with one form of
101 byte order to be used on a server with the opposite form. Our thanks to
102 Timothe Litt for calling this to our attention and for the suggestions
103 he provided.
104 [ISC-Bugs #38396]
646acb59 105
d1d1da8f 106- Fixed a small memory leak in the DHCPv6 version of the client code.
18ba0ff3
SR
107 This is unlikely to cause significant issues in actual use.
108 [ISC-Bugs #40990]
109
ce29e695
TM
110- Corrected a few minor memory leaks in omapi's dereferencing of
111 host objects. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for reporting
112 the issue and supplying the patches.
113 [ISC-Bugs #33990]
75ab52e1 114 [ISC-Bugs #41325]
ce29e695 115
d1d1da8f
FD
116- Cleaned up some of the Make infrastructure to make --with-libbind
117 work better. Though it still only works with an absolute path.
118 [ISC-Bugs #39210]
119
120- Made the embedded bind libraries able to be cross compiled
121 (please refer to the bind9 documentation to learn how to cross
122 compile DHCP and its bind library dependency).
123 [ISC-Bugs #38836]
124
c88dfebd
SR
125- Update the client code to better support getting IA_NAs and IA_PDs
126 in the same packet, see RFC7550 for some discussion.
127 [ISC-Bugs #40190]
128
b7311aae 129- Update the bounds checking when receiving a packet.
4ce21cb6
SR
130 Thanks to Sebastian Poehn from Sophos for the bug report and a suggested
131 patch.
132 [ISC-Bugs #41267]
825c459c 133 CVE: CVE-2015-8605
4ce21cb6 134
b2cb745b
SR
135- When handling an incorrect command line for dhcpd, dhclient or dhcrelay
136 print out a specific error message about the first error in addition
137 to the usage string. This may be disabled by editing includes/site.h.
138 [ISC-Bugs #40321]
eda1d0aa 139 [ISC-Bugs #41454]
b2cb745b 140
cacce092
TM
141- The configure script will now exit with an error message if it cannot find
142 a GNU-style make tool (needed when building BIND libraries) or pkg-config
143 (needed to locate ATF used for building unit tests). Prior to this the
144 script would exit indicating success causing subsequent attempts to build
145 the software to fail.
146 [ISC-Bugs #40371]
147
4ced250f
SR
148- Properly terminate strings before passing them to regex and fix
149 a boudnary error when creating certain new data strings.
150 Thanks to Andrey Jr. Melnikov for the bug report.
151 [ISC-Bugs #41217]
152
a3471269
TM
153- Option expressions, such as prepend and append, are now supported when
154 running dhclient for IPv6. Prior to this such statements in the
155 client configuration file would be parsed but have no affect. Thanks
156 to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for reporting the issue.
157 [ISC-Bugs #39952]
158
3e3b5257
TM
159- A failover primary server will now accept a binding status update from the
160 secondary which transitions a lease from ACTIVE to ABANDONED. This accounts
161 for instances in which a client declines a lease and only the secondary
162 server receives it. Prior to this the primary server would reject such an
163 update as an "invalid state transition".
fd1ba363 164 [ISC_BUGS #25189]
3e3b5257 165
ba4c704d
SR
166- Properly allocate memory for a bpf filter.
167 Thanks to Bill Parker (wp02855 at gmail dot com) who identified this issue.
168 [ISC-Bugs #41485]
169
b1eea858
SR
170- Updated contrib/dhcp-lease-list.pl to handle garbage in the oui file better
171 and to print out the hostnames a bit better.
0958dea4 172 Thanks to Antoine Beaupré from Debian for the suggested patch.
b1eea858
SR
173 [ISC-Bugs #41288]
174
36c4a037
SR
175- The DHCPv6 server now handles long valid and preferred lease times better.
176 Values that would cause the internal end time of the lease to wrap are
177 modified to work as infinite.
178 [ISC-Bugs #40773]
179
41b5a1a6
FD
180- Updated support for cross compiling by allowing the library archiver
181 to be set at configure time via the environment variable 'AR'.
182 [ISC-Bugs #41536]
183
62a9eb91
TM
184- The server will now match DHCPv6 relayed clients to host declarations
185 which include the "hardware" statement, if the relay connected to the
186 client supplies the client's hardware address via client-linklayer-address
187 option as per RFC 6939.
188 [ISC-Bugs #40334]
189
b7311aae
FD
190- Allow a filename to be specified instead of /dev/random during
191 configuration. This is passed to the BIND configuration to allow
192 for cross compilation.
193 [ISC-Bugs #33835]
194
1bfdeaae
SR
195- Add more option definitions.
196 [ISC-Bugs #40562]
197
7da1ac2b 198 Changes since 4.3.3b1
ba4c704d 199
5fc79cfd
TM
200- None
201
b31fe1d5
TM
202 Changes since 4.3.2
203
bc549dd9
SR
204- The server now does a better check to see if it can allocate the memory
205 for large blocks of v4 leases and should provide a slightly better error
206 message. Note well: the server pre-allocates v4 addresses, if you use
207 a large range, such as a /8, the server will attempt to use a large
208 amount of memory and may not start if there either isn't enough memory
209 or the size exceeds what the code supports.
210 [ISC-Bugs #38637]
211
b31fe1d5
TM
212- The server will now reject unicast Request, Renew, Decline, and Release
213 messages from a client unless the server would have sent that client the
214 dhcp6.unicast option. This behavior is in compliance with paragraph 1 in
215 each of the sections 18.2,1, 18.2.3, 18.2.6, and 18.2.7 of RFC 3315. Prior
216 to this, the server would simply accept the messages. Now, in order for
217 the server to accept such a message, the server configuration must include
218 the dhcp6.unicast option either globally or within the shared network to
219 which the requested lease belongs. In other words, the server will map
220 the first IA_XX address found within the client message to a shared-network
221 and look for the presence of the unicast option there and then globally.
ba21bb1b
TM
222 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for this issue and his patch which
223 inspired the fix.
b31fe1d5 224 [ISC-Bugs #21235]
c2419dca 225
20c0fdc7
SR
226- The ATF (Automated Testing Framework) tools used for optional unit tests
227 can now be built from its embedded sources in bind, solving the
228 atf-run / atf-report issue with recent (>= 0.20) versions of ATF.
229 The new configuration option is "./configure --with-atf=bind".
1b245c91 230 [ISC-Bugs #38754, #39300]
20c0fdc7 231
1c0b7d66
SR
232- Corrected a compilation error introduced by the fix for ISC-Bugs #22806.
233 On older linuxes that do not include the tpacket_auxdata structure don't
234 bother allocating the cmsgbuf as it isn't necessary and we don't have
235 a proper length for it.
236 [ISC-Bugs #39209]
237
da88d34b
SR
238- Remove the dst directory. This was replaced in 4.2.0 with the dst
239 code from the Bind libraries but we continued to include it for
240 backwards compatibility. As we have now released 4.3.x it seems
241 reasonable to remove it.
242 [ISC-Buts #39019]
243
90a062fb 244- Write out the DUID server id on startup in all cases, previously if it
cacce092 245 was read in from server-duid option in the config or lease files for
90a062fb
SR
246 DHCPv4 it would not be written to the new lease file.
247 [ISC-Bugs #37791]
248
90fdd337
SR
249- When parsing dates for leases convert dates past 2038 to "never".
250 This avoids problems with integer overflows in the date and time
251 handling code for people that decide to use very large lease times
252 or add a lease entry with a date far in the future.
253 [ISC-Bugs #33056]
254
70689a73
SR
255- Leave the siaddr field clear when sending a NACK as per RFC 2131
256 table 3.
257 [ISC-Bugs #38769]
258
30dcfbf6
SR
259- In the client don't send expired addresses to the script as part of
260 the binding process. Thanks to Sven Trenkel at Google for reporting
261 the issue and suggesting the patch.
262 [ISC-Bugs #38631]
263
4136513e
SR
264- While parsing IPv6 addresses treat "add" as part of the address instead
265 of as a token.
266 [ISC-Bugs #39529]
267
3933e2aa
SR
268- Add support for accessing the v4 lease queues (active, free etc) in a
269 binary fashion instead of needing to walk through a linear list to
270 insert, find or remove an entry from the queues. In addition add a
271 compile time option "--enable-binary-leases" to enable the new code
272 or to continue using the old code. The old code is the default.
273 Thanks to Fernando Soto from BlueCat Networks for the patch.
274 [ISC-Bugs #39078]
275
cca6a648 276- Delayed-ack now works properly with Failover. Prior to this, bind updates
277 post startup were being queued but never delivered. Among other things, this
278 was causing leases to not transition from expired or released to free.
279 [ISC-Bugs #31474]
280
46d31b51
SR
281- Clean up parsing of v6 lease files a bit to avoid infinite loops if the
282 lease file is corrupt in certain ways.
283 [ISC-Bugs #39760]
284
cca6a648 285- Corrected a crash in dhclient that occurs during lease renewal if the
68b3e7f2
TM
286 client is performing its own DNS updates. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat
287 for the bug report.
cca6a648 288 [ISC-Bugs #38639]
289
ff1b3d04
TM
290- Corrected an issue in v6 lease file parsing. Prior to this, when encountering
291 a lease with an address for which no configured pool exists, the server was
292 declaring the lease file corrupt and incorrectly skipping over the subsequent
293 entry in the file. The server will now emit a log message indicating that
294 no pool was found for the address (or prefix) and correctly resume parsing
cacce092 295 with the next entry in the lease file. Our thanks to Michal Žejdl for
673137b1 296 reporting the issue.
ff1b3d04
TM
297 [ISC-Bugs #39314]
298
34711bb7
SR
299- Be more liberal in finding a subnet group associated with a static
300 prefix. When we added the class matching code for v6 we also added
301 a requirement that the static prefix must be within a subnet the
302 client was in, in order to find the proper statements. We now
303 look for a subnet based on the prefix, failing that on the static
304 address for the client and failing that on the shared network
305 itself.
306 [ISC-Bugs #38329]
307
45c332f0
SR
308- Add a new action expression "parse_vendor_options", which can be used
309 to parse a vendor-encapsualted-option received by the server based on
310 the encoding specified by the vendor-option-space statement.
311 [ISC-Bugs #36449]
312
7a6c9368
SR
313- Enhance the PARANOIA patch to include fchown() the lease file to
314 allow it to be manipulated after the server does a chown().
315 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the patch.
316 [ISC-Bugs #36978]
317
7ef55702
SR
318- Relax the requirement that prefix pools must be within the subnet.
319 This was added in as part of #32453 in order to avoid configuration
320 mistakes but is being removed as prefixes aren't required to be
321 within the same subnet and many people configure them in that fashion.
322 [ISC-Bugs #40077]
323
6a39bcf0
TM
324- Fixed a server crash that could occur when the server attempts to remove
325 the billing class from the last lease billed to a dynamic class after said
6c8eb544
TM
326 class has been deleted. Our thanks to Lasse Pesonen for reporting the
327 issue.

330- LDAP Patches - Numerous small patches submitted by contributors have
331 been applied to the contributed code which supplies LDAP support.
af25ded3
SR
332 In addition, two larger submissions have also been included. The
333 first adds support for IPv6 configuration and the second provides
35b6560b

TM
365
366- Corrected a compilation error introduced by the fix for ISC-Bugs #37415.
367 The error occurs on Linux variants that do not support VLAN tag information
368 in packet auxiliary data. The configure script now only enables inclusion
369 of the VLAN tag-based logic if it is supported by the underlying OS.

4d9b81fc 373
45adf35c 374- Specifying the option, --disable-debug, on the configure script command line
4e1bf548 375 now disables debug features. Prior to this, specifying --disable-debug
112d76f6
TM
376 incorrectly enabled debug features. Thanks to Gustavo Zacarias for reporting
377 the issue.
4e1bf548 378 [ISC-Bugs #37780]
4d9b81fc 379
9a111ee8
TM
380- Unit test execution now uses a path augmented during configuration
381 processing of the --with-atf option to locate ATF runtime tools, atf-run
382 and atf-report. For most installations of ATF, this should alleviate the
383 need to manually include them in the PATH, as was formerly required.
384 If the configure script cannot locate the tools it will emit a warning,
385 informing the user that the tools must be in the PATH when running unit
386 tests.
387 Secondly, please note that "make check" will now exit with a failure status
388 code (non-zero) if one or more unit tests fail. This means that invoking
389 "make check" from an upper level directory will cause the make process to
390 STOP after the first test subdirectory with failed test(s). To force all
391 tests in all subdirectories to run, regardless of individual test outcome,
392 use the command "make -k check".

1dceab6c
SR
428- Remove unneeded error #defines. These defines were included in case
429 external programs required the older versions of the macro. They
430 have been #ifdeffed for now and will be removed at a future date.
431 See site.h for the #define to include them again, but you should
432 switch to using the DHCP_R_* versions instead of the ISC_R_* versions.
adb95d23 433 Also ISC_R_MULTIPLE has been removed as it is also defined in bind.

460- Added the echo-client-id configuration parameter to the server configuration.
461 The server now supports RFC 6842 compliant behavior by setting a new
462 configuration parameter, echo-client-id. When enabled, the server will
463 include the client identifier option (Option code 61) if received, in its
464 responses. The server identifier returned in NAKs (if enabled) will now
465 be the globally defined value (if one) if the server cannot attribute the
466 inbound request to a known subnet.

SR
480- In the failover code, handle the case of communications being interrupted
481 when the servers are dealing with POTENTIAL-CONFLICT. This patch allows
482 the primary to accept the secondary moving from POTENTIAL-CONFLICT to
483 RESOLUTION-INTERRUPTED as well as handling the bind update process better.
484 In addition the code to resend update or update all requests has been
485 modified to send requests more often.

d9b2a590
TM
489- By default, the server will now choose the value to use in the forward DNS
490 name from the following in order of preference:
491
492 1. FQDN option if provided by the client
493 2. Host name option if provided by the client
494 3. Configured option host-name if defined
495
496 As before, this may be overridden by defining ddns-hostname to the desired
497 value (or expression). In addition, the server logic has been extended to
498 use the value of the host name declaration if use-host-decl-names is enabled
499 and no other value is available.

45adf35c 509 prepending or appending to the IPv4 domain-search option, received from the

510 server, when either of the values being combined contain compressed
511 components.

7116a34f
TM
514- Added the server-id-check parameter to the server configuration.
515 This parameter allows run-time control over whether or not a server,
516 participating in failover, verifies the dhcp-server-identifier option in
ebb1d91e 517 DHCP REQUESTs against the server's id before processing the request.
7116a34f
TM
518 Formerly, enabling this behavior was done at compilation time through
519 the use of the #define, SERVER_ID_CHECK, which has been removed from site.h
adb95d23 520 The functionality is now only available through the new runtime parameter.

521 [ISC-Bugs #37551]
522
2775bd62
TM
523- During startup, when the server encounters a lease whose binding state is
524 FTS_BACKUP but whose pool has no configured failover peer, it will reset the
525 lease's binding state to FTS_FREE. This allows the leases to be reclaimed
526 by the server after a pool's configuration has changed from failover to
527 standalone. Prior to this such leases would remain stuck in the backup state
528 making them unavailable for assignment. Note this conversion will occur
529 whether or not the server is compiled for failover.

532- Fixed a small issue in the treatment of hosts in the inform processing
533 that could cause the response to an inform to include information from
534 the wrong scope. The two examples we've heard of are getting subnet
535 instead of group information associated with a host entry, or getting
536 global information instead of subnet if the host entry was built via

546- Move the check for a PID file and process to be before we rewrite the
547 lease file. This avoids the possibility of starting a second instance
548 of a server which changes the current lease file confusing the first
549 instance. This check is only included if the admin hasn't disabled PID
550 files.

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

569- Log content has been changed to more directly suggest that admins should
570 check for multiple IPv6 clients attempting to use the same DUID when only
571 abandoned addresses are available. Debug level logging will now emit counts
572 of the total number of, in-use, and abandoned addresses in a shared subnet
573 when the server finds no addresses available for a given DUID. Lastly,
574 threshold logging is now automatically disabled for shared subnets whose
575 total number of possible addresses exceeds (2^64)-1.

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

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

6980ae03 761 Changes since 4.2.0 (new features)
51b8a8a0
SR
762
763- If a client renews before 'dhcp-cache-threshold' percent of its lease
764 has elapsed (default 25%), the server will reuse the allocated lease
765 (provide a lease within the currently allocated lease-time) rather
766 than extend or renew the lease. This absolves the server of needing
767 to perform an fsync() operation on the lease database before reply,
768 which improves performance. [ISC-Bugs #22228]
80778e94 769 Updated this patch to support asynchronous DDNS. If the server is
adb95d23 770 attempting to do DDNS on a lease it should be updated and written to
4809ef5c 771 disk even if that wouldn't be necessary due to the thresholding.

778- A problem with missing get_hw_addr function when --enable-use-sockets
779 was used is now solved on GNU/Linux, BSD and GNU/Hurd systems. Note
780 that use-sockets feature was not tested on those systems. Client and
781 server code no longer use MAX_PATH constant that is not defined on
3cb6f9bb 782 GNU/Hurd systems. [ISC-Bugs #25979]
32e651c4 783
67418698
SR
784- Add a perl script in the contrib directory, dhcp-lease-list.pl, which
785 can parse v4 lease files and output the lease information in a more
786 human friendly manner. This was written by Christian Hammers with
787 some updates by vom and ISC. This is contributed code and is not
788 supported by ISC; however it may be useful to some users.

d7d9c0c7
SR
797- Update the DDNS code to current standards and allow for sharing
798 of DDNS entries between v4 and v6 clients. The new code is used
799 if the ddns-update-style is set to "standard", the older code is
800 still available if ddns-update-style is set to "interim". The
801 oldest DDNS code "ad-hoc" has been removed. Thanks to Thomas Pegeot
802 who submitted a patch for this issue. This patch is based on
803 that work with some modifications.
64fb661c 804 [ISC-Bugs #21139]
1534fff7 805
cde11a4c
SR
806- Add a configuration option to the server to suppress using fsync().
807 Enabling this option will mean that fsync() is never called. This
808 may provide better performance but there is also a risk that a lease
809 will not be properly written to the disk after it has been issued
810 to a client and before the server stops. Using this option is
811 not recommended.
64fb661c 812 [ISC-Bugs #34810]
cde11a4c 813
f88446f1
SR
814- Add some logging statements to indicate when the server is ready
815 to serve. One statement is emitted after the server has finished
816 reading its files and is about to enter the dispatch loop.
817 This is "Server starting service.".
818 The second is emitted when a server determines that both it and
819 its failover peer are in the normal state.
820 This is "failover peer <name>: Both servers normal."
64fb661c 821 [ISC-Bugs #33208]
f88446f1 822
619304cd
SR
823- Add support for accessing options from v6 relays. The v6relay
824 statement allows the administrator to choose which relay to
825 use when searching for an option, see the dhcp-options man page
6b9c9f87
SR
826 for a description. The host-identifier option has also been
827 updated to support the use of relay options, see the dhcpd.conf
619304cd

e54ff84f 831- When doing DDNS if there isn't an appropriate zone statement attempt
80778e94 832 to find a reasonable nameserver via a DNS resolver. This restores
e54ff84f
SR
833 some functionality that was lost in the transition to asynchronous
834 DDNS. Due to the lack of security and increase in fragility of the
835 system when using this feature we strongly recommend the use of
836 appropriate zone statements rather than using this functionality.
837 [ISC-Bugs #30461]
838
61ef216b
SR
839- Add support for specifying the address from which to send
840 DDNS updates on the DHCP server. There are two new options
841 "ddns-local-address4" and "ddns-local-address6" that each take
842 one instance of their respective address types.
843 [ISC-Bugs #34779]
4d079f0e 844
38ee81bd
SR
845- Add ignore-client-uids option in the server. This option causes
846 the server to not record a client's uid in its lease. This
847 violates the specification but may also be useful when a client
848 can dual boot using different client ids but the same mac address.
6b9c9f87 849 Thank you to Brian De Wolf at Cal Poly Pomona for the patch.

fe2ac9e3
SR
858- Extend the hardware expression to look into the lease structure
859 for a hardware address if there is no packet. This allows the
860 server to find the hardware address during on-expiry processing.

01a44a77 867 Changes since 4.2.0 (bug fixes)
8ee352ee 868
01a44a77
SR
869- When using 'ignore client-updates;', the FQDN returned to the client
870 is no longer truncated to one octet.
8ee352ee 871
01a44a77 872- Cleaned up an unused hardware address variable in nak_lease().
4889a646 873
01a44a77
SR
874- Manpage entries for the ia-pd and ia-prefix options were updated to
875 reflect support for prefix delegation.
4889a646 876
01a44a77 877- Cleaned up some compiler warnings
7dc4e69c 878
01a44a77
SR
879- An optimization described in the failover protocol draft is now included,
880 which permits a DHCP server operating in communications-interrupted state
881 to 'rewind' a lease to the state most recently transmitted to its peer,
882 greatly increasing a server's endurance in communications-interrupted.
883 This is supported using a new 'rewind state' record on the dhcpd.leases
884 entry for each lease.
c5bc8b1a 885
01a44a77 886- Fix the trace code which was broken by the changes to the DDNS code.
d0a10f6a 887
01a44a77
SR
888- Update the fsync code to work with the changes to the DDNS code. It now
889 uses a timer instead of noticing if there are no more packets to process.
dc9d7b08 890
01a44a77
SR
891- When constructing the DNS name structure from a text string append
892 the root to relative names. This satisfies a requirement in the DNS
893 library that names be absolute instead of relative and prevents DHCP
894 from crashing. [ISC-Bugs #21054]
a24b9f23 895
01a44a77
SR
896- "The LDAP Patch" that has been circulating for some time, written by
897 Brian Masney and S.Kalyanasundraram and maintained for application to
898 the DHCP-4 sources by David Cantrell has been included. Please be
899 advised that these sources were contributed, and do not yet meet the
900 high standards we place on production sources we include by default.
901 As a result, the LDAP features are only included by using a compile-time
902 option which defaults off, and if you enable it you do so under your
903 own recognizance. We will be improving this software over time.
904 [ISC-Bugs #17741]
c5bc8b1a 905
01a44a77
SR

SR
909! Accept a client id of length 0 while hashing. Previously the server would
910 exit if it attempted to hash a zero length client id, providing attackers
911 with a simple denial of service attack. [ISC-Bugs #21253]
912 CERT: VU#541921 - CVE: CVE-2010-2156
08b2d347 913

08b2d347 915
01a44a77
SR
916- Modify the exception handling for initial context creation. Previously
917 we would try and clean up before exiting. This could present problems
918 when the cleanup required part of the context that wasn't available. It
919 also didn't do much as we exited afterwards anyway. Now we simply log
920 the error and exit. [ISC-Bugs #21093]
ad4001ce 921
01a44a77
SR
922- A bug was fixed that could cause the DHCPv6 server to advertise/assign a
923 previously allocated (active) lease to a client that has changed subnets,
924 despite being on different shared networks. Dynamic prefixes specifically
925 allocated in shared networks also now are not offered if the client has
926 moved. [ISC-Bugs #21152]
3cb6f9bb 927
01a44a77 928- Add some debugging output for use with the DDNS code. [ISC-Bugs #20916]
f6dc164f 929
01a44a77
SR
930- Fix the trace code to handle timing events better and to truncate a file
931 before using instead of overwriting it. [ISC-Bugs #20969]
4b8251a0 932
01a44a77
SR
933- Modify the determination of the default TTL to use for DDNS updates.
934 The user may still configure the ttl via ddns-ttl. The default for
935 both v4 and v6 is now 1/2 the (preferred) lease time with a limit. The
936 previous defaults (1/2 lease time without a limit for v4 and a default
937 value for v6) may be used by defining USE_OLD_DDNS_TTL in site.h

SR
961- 'get-host-names true;' now also works even if 'use-host-decl-names true;'
962 was also configured. The nature of this repair also fixes another
963 error; the host-name supplied by a client is no longer overridden by a
964 reverse lookup of the lease address. Thanks to a patch from Wilco Baan

1022 strftime, paste together the same string using mktime instead.
1023 [ISC-Bugs #19596] - When parsing iaid values accept printable
1024 characters.

1037- Update the code to parse dhcpv6 lease files to accept a semi-colon at
1038 the end of the max-life and preferred-life clauses. In order to be
1039 backwards compatible with older lease files not finding a semi-colon

01a44a77
SR
1051- Handle pipe failures more gracefully. Some OSes pass a SIGPIPE
1052 signal to a process and will kill the process if the signal isn't
1053 caught. This patch adds code to turn off the SIGPIPE signal via
1054 a setsockopt() call. The signal is already being ignored as part
1055 of the ISC library. [ISC-Bugs #22269]
b342f2e7 1056
01a44a77
SR
1057- Restore printing of values in omshell to the style pre 21585. For
1058 21585 we changed the print routines to always display time values
1059 as a hex list. This had a side effect of printing all data strings
1060 as a hex list. We shall investigate other ways of displaying time
1061 values more usefully. [ISC-Bugs #22626]

1063! Fix the handling of connection requests on the failover port.
1064 Previously a connection request from a source that wasn't

1088- Disable the use of kqueue in the ISC library. This avoids a problem
1089 between the fork and socket code that caused the dhcpd process to
1090 use all available cpu if the program daemonized itself.

1093! When processing a request in the DHCPv6 server code that specifies
1094 an address that is tagged as abandoned (meaning we received a
1095 decline request for it previously) don't attempt to move it from

1139
1140- 'dhclient' no longer waits a random interval after first starting up to
1141 begin in the INIT state. This conforms to RFC 2131, but elects not to
9a111ee8 1142 implement a 'SHOULD' direction in section 4.1. The goal of this change
73c83820 1143 is to start up faster. [ISC-Bugs #19660]

1144
1145- Added 'initial-delay' parameter that specifies maximum amount of time
1146 before client goes to the INIT state. The default value is 0. In previous
1147 versions of the code client could wait up to 5 seconds. The old behavior
5d082abd 1148 may be restored by using 'initial-delay 5;' in the client config file.

1150
1151- ICMP ping-check should now sit closer to precisely the number of seconds
1152 configured (or default 1), due to making use of the new microsecond
1153 scale timer internally to dhcpd. This corrects a bug where the server

1156
1157- The DHCP client will schedule renewal and rebinding events in
1158 microseconds if the DHCP server provided a lease-time that would result
1159 in sub-1-second timers. This corrects a bug where a 2-second or lower
1160 lease-time would cause the DHCP client to enter an infinite loop by
73c83820 1161 scheduling renewal at zero seconds. [ISC-Bugs #19660]
5d082abd

1162
1163- Client lease records are recorded at most once every 15 seconds. This
1164 keeps the client from filling the lease database disk quickly on very small
73c83820 1165 lease times. [ISC-Bugs #19660]
5d082abd

1166
1167- To defend against RFC 2131 non-compliant DHCP servers which fail to
1168 advertise a lease-time (either mangled, or zero in value) the DHCP
1169 client now adds the server to the reject list ACL and returns to INIT
1170 state to hopefully find an RFC 2131 compliant server (or retry in INIT
73c83820 1171 forever). [ISC-Bugs #19660]

1181- The DHCP server now responds to DHCPLEASEQUERY messages from agents using
1182 IP addresses not covered by a subnet in configuration. Whether or not to
1183 respond to such an agent is still governed by the 'allow leasequery;'
1184 configuration parameter, in the case of an agent not covered by a configured
1185 subnet the root configuration area is examined. Server now also returns
1186 vendor-class-id option, if client sent it. [ISC-Bugs #21094]

1294! Modify the DDNS handling code. In a previous patch we added logging
1295 code to the DDNS handling. This code included a bug that caused it
1296 to attempt to dereference a NULL pointer and eventually segfault.
1297 While reviewing the code as we addressed this problem, we determined
1298 that some of the updates to the lease structures would not work as
1299 planned since the structures being updated were in the process of
1300 being freed: these updates were removed. In addition we removed an
1301 incorrect call to the DDNS removal function that could cause a failure
1302 during the removal of DDNS information from the DNS server.

1405! Previously the server code was relaxed to allow packets with zero
1406 length client ids to be processed. Under some situations use of
1407 zero length client ids can cause the server to go into an infinite
1408 loop. As such ids are not valid according to RFC 2132 section 9.14
1409 the server no longer accepts them. Client ids with a length of 1
1410 are also invalid but the server still accepts them in order to
1411 minimize disruption. The restriction will likely be tightened in
1412 the future to disallow ids with a length of 1.

DH
1575- Failover port configuration can now be left to defaults (port 647) as
1576 described in the -12 revision of the Failover draft (and assigned by
4b97eaff 1577 IANA). Thanks in part to a patch from David Cantrell at Red Hat.
adbef119 1578

DH
1579- If configured, dhclient may now transmit to an anycast MAC address,
1580 rather than using a broadcast address. Thanks to a patch from David
1581 Cantrell at Red Hat.
1582
8a3c1e33
PS
1583- Added client support for setting interface MTU and metric, thanks to
1584 Roy "UberLord" Marples <roy@marples.name>.
1585
a41d7a25
PS
1586- Added client -D option to specify DUID type to send.
1587
9e3eb22a
DH
1588- A new failover configuration parameter has been introduced for those
1589 environments where DHCP servers can be reasonably guaranteed to be
1590 "down" when the failover TCP socket is severed, "auto-partner-down".
1591 This parameter is not generally safe, and by default is disabled, so
1592 please carefully review the documentation of this parameter in the
1593 dhcpd.conf(5) manpage before determining to use it yourself.
1594
33ea4622
DH
1595- Added a configuration function, 'gethostname()', which calls the system
1596 function of the same name and presents the results as a data expression.
1597 This function can be used to incorporate the system level hostname of
1598 the system the DHCP software is operating on in responses or queries (such
1599 as including a failover partner's hostname in a dhcp message or binding
1600 scope, or having a DHCP client send any system hostname in the host-name or
1601 FQDN options by default).
1602
5a671e87
DH
1603- The dhcp-renewal-time and dhcp-rebinding-time options may now be configured
1604 for DHCPv4 operation and used independently of the dhcp-lease-time
1605 calculations. Invalid renew and rebinding times (e.g., greater than the
1606 determined lease time) are omitted.
1607
adb95d23 1608- Processing the DHCP to DNS server transactions in an asynchronous fashion,
45adf35c 1609 the DHCP server or client can now continue with its processing while
98bf1607 1610 awaiting replies from the DNS server.
c900c5b2
DH
1611
1612- The 'hardware [ethernet|etc] ...;' parameter in host records has been
1613 extended to attempt to match DHCPv6 clients by the last octets of a
1614 DUID-LL or DUID-LLT provided by the client.

SR
1620- Validate the argument to the -p option.
1621
47e6eb82
DH
1622- The notorious 'option <unknown> ... larger than buffer' log line,
1623 which is seen in some malformed DHCP client packets, was modified.
1624 It now logs the universe name, and does not log the length values
1625 (which are bogus corruption read from the packet anyway). It also
1626 carries a hopefully more useful explanation.
1627
159c89d7
EH
1628- Suppress spurious warnings from configure about --datarootdir
1629
1aa0fe5e
DH
1630- A bug was fixed that caused the server not to answer some valid Solicit
1631 and Request packets, if the dynamic range covering any requested addresses
1632 had been deleted from configuration.
1633
cd51403d
SR
1634- Update the code to deal with GCC 4.3. This included two sets of changes.
1635 The first is to the configuration files to include the use of
571c38b0 1636 AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS. The second is to deal with return values that
cd51403d
SR
1637 were being ignored.

1639- The db-time-format option was documented in manpages.

1641- Using reserved leases no longer results in 'lease with binding state
1642 free not on its queue' error messages, thanks to a patch from Frode
1643 Nordahl.

70ea9345
PS
1645- Fix a build error in dhcrelay, using older versions of gcc with
1646 dhcpv6 disabled.
1647
8d7dca58 1648- Two uninitialized stack structures are now memset to zero, thanks to a
4b97eaff 1649 patch from David Cantrell at Red Hat.
819186b7 1650
f4534b17
DH
1651- Fixed a cosmetic bug where pretty-printing valid domain-search options would
1652 result in an erroneous error log message ('garbage in format string').
1653
f9453d21
DH
1654- A bug in DLPI packet transmission (Solaris, HP/UX) that caused the server
1655 to stop receiving packets is fixed. The same fix also means that the MAC
1656 address will no longer appear 'bogus' on DLPI-based systems.
1657
1658- A bug in select handling was discovered where the results of one select()
1659 call were discarded, causing the server to process the next select() call
1660 and use more system calls than required. This has been repaired - the
1661 sockets will be handled after the first return from select(), resulting in
1662 fewer system calls.
1663
a3dcc0b1
DH
1664- The update-conflict-detection feature would leave an FQDN updated without
1665 a DHCID (still currently implemented as a TXT RR). This would cause later
1666 expiration or release events to fail to remove the domain name. The feature
1667 now also inserts the client's up to date DHCID record, so records may safely
1668 be removed at expiration or release time. Thanks to a patch submitted by
1669 Christof Chen.
1670
95fd7038
DH
1671- Memory leak in the load_balance_mine() function is fixed. This would
1672 leak ~20-30 octets per DHCPDISCOVER packet while failover was in use
1673 and in normal state.
1674
1675- Various compilation fixes have been included for the memory related
1676 DEBUG #defines in includes/site.h.
1677
8a3c1e33
PS
1678- Fixed Linux client script 'unary operator expected' errors with DHCPv6.
1679
1680- Fixed setting hostname in Linux hosts that require hostname argument
1681 to be double-quoted. Also allow server-provided hostname to
1682 override hostnames 'localhost' and '(none)'.
1683
dedde1ba
DH
1684- Fixed failover reconnection retry code to continue to retry to reconnect
1685 rather than restarting the listener.
1686
a57df74a
DH
1687- Compilation on Solaris with USE_SOCKETS defined in includes/site.h has
1688 been repaired. Other USE_ overrides should work better.
1689
1690- A check for the local flavor of IFNAMSIZ had a broken 'else' condition,
1691 that probably still resulted in the correct behaviour (but wouldn't use
1692 a larger defined value provided by the host OS).
1693
350576c5
DH
1694- Fixed a bug where an OMAPI socket disconnection message would not result
1695 in scheduling a failover reconnection, if the link had not negotiated a
1696 failover connect yet (e.g.: connection refused, asynch socket connect()
1697 timeouts).
1698
792156a9
DH
1699- A bug was fixed that caused the 'conflict-done' state to fail to be parsed
1700 in failover state records.
1701
8a4e543b
DH
1702! A stack overflow vulnerability was fixed in dhclient that could allow
1703 remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands as root on the system,
1704 or simply terminate the client, by providing an over-long subnet-mask
1b12d999 1705 option. CERT VU#410676 - CVE-2009-0692
8a4e543b 1706
a1308b64
DH
1707- Fixed a bug where relay agent options would never be returned when
1708 processing a DHCPINFORM.
1709
1b12d999
DH
1710- Versions 3.0.x syntax with multiple name->code option definitions is now
1711 supported. Note that, similarly to 3.0.x, for by-code lookups only the
1712 last option definition is used.
1713
d453265f
PS
1714- Fixed a bug where a time difference of greater than 60 seconds between a
1715 failover pair could cause the primary to crash on contact with the
1716 secondary. Thanks to a patch from Steinar Haug.
1717
3e29af1e
PS
1718- Don't look for IPv6 interfaces on Linux when running in DHCPv4 mode.
1719 Thanks to patches from Matthew Newton and David Cantrell.
1720
b8d45c67
DH
1721- Secondary servers in a failover pair will now perform ddns removals if
1722 they had performed ddns updates on a lease that is expiring, or was
1723 released through the primary. As part of the same fix, stale binding scopes
1724 will now be removed if a change in identity of a lease's active client is
1725 detected, rather than simply if a lease is noticed to have expired (which it
1726 may have expired without a failover server noticing in some situations).
1727
583c1c16
DH
1728- A patch supplied by David Cantrell at RedHat was applied that detects
1729 invalid calling parameters given to the ns_name_ntop() function.
1730 Specifically, it detects if the caller passed a pointer and size pair
1731 that causes the pointer to integer-wrap past zero.
1732
e4e3a2ab
DH
1733! Fixed a fenceposting bug when a client had two host records configured,
1734 one using 'uid' and the other using 'hardware ethernet'. CVE-2009-1892
95f5d38c 1735
875e99dc
SR
1736- Fixed the check in the dhcp_interface_signal_handler routine to verify
1737 the existence of the linked signal handler before calling it.
1738
2267da84
DH
1739- Both host and subnet6 configuration groups are now included whether a
1740 fixed-address6 (DHCPv6) is in use or not. Host scoped configuration takes
1741 precedence. This fixes two bugs, one where host scoped configuration
1742 would not be included from a non-fixed-address6 host record, and the equal
1743 and opposite bug where subnet6 scoped configuration would not be used when
571c38b0 1744 over-riding values were not present in a matching fixed-address6 host
2267da84
DH
1745 configuration.
1746
cd3f0b9b
DH
1747- ./configure now checks to ensure the intX_t and u_intX_t types are defined,
1748 correcting a compilation failure when using Sun's compiler.
1749
0493fdca
SR
1750- Modified the handling of a connection to avoid releasing the omapi io
1751 object for the connection while it is still in use. One symptom from
1752 this error was a segfault when a failover secondary attempted to connect
1753 to the failover primary if their clocks were not synchronized.
1754
95bba8b6
SR
1755- Clean up to allow compilation with gcc 2.95.4 on FreeBSD. Remove an
1756 extra semi-colon from common/dns.c and moved setting a variable to NULL
1757 in server/dhcpv6.c to allow the compiler to decide that the variable
9a111ee8 1758 was always properly set.
95bba8b6 1759
adbef119 1760 Changes since 4.1.0b1
ebf076fe
EH
1761
1762- A missing "else" in dhcrelay.c could have caused an interface not to
1763 be recognized.
61d75ea2 1764
a4ffedd1
DH
1765 Changes since 4.1.0a2
1766
1767- A cosmetic bug in DHCPDECLINE processing was fixed which caused all
1768 successful DHCPDECLINEs to be logged as "not found" rather than
1769 "abandoned".
1770
6ff3b26d
FD
1771- Added configuration file examples for DHCPv6.
1772
1387545f
DH
1773- Some failover debugging #defines have been better defined and some
1774 high frequency messages moved to a deeper debugging symbol.
1775
1776- The CLTT parameter in failover is now only updated by client activity,
1777 and not by failover binding updates (taking on the peer's CLTT).
1778
1779- Failover BNDUPD messages are now discarded if they conflict with an
d7ac7a27 1780 update that has been transmitted, but not acknowledged.
1387545f 1781
399d3dbe
DH
1782- A bug cleaning up unknown-xxx temporary option definitions was fixed.
1783
fbcee149
DH
1784- Delayed-ack is now a compile-time option, compiled out by default.
1785 This feature is simply too experimental for right now, and causes
1786 some problems to some failover installations. We will revisit this
1787 in future releases.
1788
f1672d89
DH
1789- The !inet_pton() call in res_mkupdrec was adjusted to '<= 0' as
1790 inet_pton returns either 1, 0, or -1.
1791
236d3a99
DH
1792- A dhclient-script for MacOS X has been included, which enables
1793 'dhclient -6' support.
1794
efa5e6b9
DH
1795- DDNS removal routines were updated so that the DHCID is not removed until
1796 the client has been deprived of all A and AAAA records (not only the last
1797 one of either of those). This resolves a bug where dual stack clients
1798 would not be able to regain their names after either expiration event.
1799
7d6180be 1800 Changes since 4.1.0a1
edcb5c46

1801
1802- Corrected list of failover state values in dhcpd man page.

51e7687f
EH
1804- Fixed a bug that caused some request types to be logged incorrectly.
1805
20210a7b
EH
1806- Clients that sent a parameter request list containing the
1807 routers option before the subnet mask option were receiving
1808 only the latter. Fixed.
1809
535485df
EH
1810- The server wasn't always sending the FQDN option when it should.
1811
8fbb55ff
DH
1812- A partner-down failover server no longer emits 'peer holds all free leases'
1813 if it is able to newly-allocate one of the peer's leases.
1814
61220a00
EH
1815- Fixed a coredump when adding a class via OMAPI.
1816
c40e954c
EH
1817- Check whether files are zero length before trying to parse them.
1818
63971a83
DH
1819- Ari Edelkind's PARANOIA patch has been included and may be compiled in
1820 via two ./configure parameters, --enable-paranoia and
1821 --enable-early-chroot.
1822
66cebfcb
DH
1823- ./configure was extended to cover many optional build features, such
1824 as failover, server tracing, debugging, and the execute() command.
1825
f8cbf390
DH
1826- There is now a default 1/4 of a second scheduled delay between delayed
1827 fsync()'s, it can be configured by the max-ack-delay configuration
1828 parameter.
1829
8269561d
DH
1830- A bug was fixed where the length of a hostname was miscalculated, so that
1831 hosts were given odd-looking domain names ("foo.bar.ba.example.com").
1832
b445a411
DH
1833- Shared network selection should be done from the innermost relay
1834 valid link-address field, rather than the outermost.
1835
bd72740e
FD
1836- Prefix pools are attached to shared network scopes.
1837
9322442f
FD
1838- Merged IA_XX related structures.
1839
8dea7ba7
FD
1840- Add DHCPv6 files in configure.
1841
4619c0a2
DH
1842- A memory leak when using omapi has been fixed.
1843
9ac4206a
DH
1844- DHCPv6 vendor-class options (VSIO) are now only sent when they appear
1845 on the DHCPv6 ORO. This resolves a bug where VSIO options were placed
1846 in IA_NA encapsulated options fields.
1847
420d8b3f
FD
1848- Integrated client with stateless, temporary address and prefix delegation
1849 support.
1850
40ec5f38
DH
1851- A double-dereference in dhclient transmission of DHCPDECLINEs was
1852 repaired.
1853
80097764
FD
1854- Fix handling of format code 'Z'.
1855
ffbaa880
FD
1856- Support "-1" argument in DHCPv6.
1857
7de20a95
EH
1858- Merge DHCPv6-only "dhcrelay6" into general-purpose "dhcrelay" (use
1859 "-6" option to select DHCPv6 mode).
1860
d352732e
EH
1861- Fix handling of -A and -a flags in dhcrelay; it was failing to expand
1862 packet size as needed to add relay agent options.
1863
7d6180be
DH
1864- A bug in subnet6 parsing where options contained in subnet6 clauses would
1865 not be applied to clients addressed within that network was repaired.
1866
1867- When configuring a "subnet {}" or "subnet6 {}" without an explicit
1868 shared-network enclosing it, the DHCP software would synthesize a
1869 shared-network to contain the subnet. However, all configuration
1870 parameters within the subnet more intuitively belong "to any client
1871 on that interface", or rather the synthesized shared-network. So,
1872 when a shared-network is synthesized, it is used to contain the
1873 configuration present inside the subnet {} clause. This means that
1874 the configuration will be valid for all clients on that network, not
1875 just those addressed out of the stated subnet. If you intended the
1876 opposite, the workaround is to explicitly configure an empty
1877 shared-network.
1878
1879- A bug was fixed where Information-Request processing was not sourcing
1880 configured option values.
1881
1882- A warning was added since the DHCPv6 processing software does not yet
1883 support class statements.
1884
adb95d23 1885- Compilation warnings on GCC 4.3 relating to bootp source address
dd484ced
DH
1886 selection were repaired.
1887
ecddae64
DH
1888- The v6 BSD socket method was updated to use a single UDP BSD socket
1889 no matter how many interfaces are involved, differentiating the
1890 interfaces the packets were received on by the interface index supplied
1891 by the OS.
1892
1893- The relay agent no longer listens to the All DHCP Servers Multicast
1894 address.
1895
1896- A bug was fixed in data_string_sprintfa() where va_start was only called
1897 once for two invocations of vsprintf() variants.
1898
d104d45b
DH
1899- ERO (RFC 4994) server support.
1900
1901- Basic and partial DHCPv6 leasequery support.
1902
1903- Reliable DHCPv6 release (previous behavior, send release and exit, is
1904 still available with dhclient -6 -1 -r).
1905
01a54c17 1906 Changes since 4.0.0 (new features)
3c12f746 1907
6d7f9584
FD
1908- Added DHCPv6 rapid commit support.
1909
4cafb815 1910- Added explicit parser support for zero-length DHCP options, such as
6d7f9584 1911 rapid-commit, via format code 'Z'.
4cafb815 1912
022fe95e
EH
1913- It's now possible to update the "ends" field of a lease with OMAPI.
1914 This is useful if you want not only to release a lease, but also make
1915 it available for reuse right away. Hat tip to Christof Chen.
1916
9a111ee8 1917- Fixed definition of the iaaddr hash functions to use the correct
1dcc3612
SK
1918 functions when referencing and dereferencing memory.
1919
aabfa4de
FD
1920- Some definitions not in phase with the IANA registry were updated.
1921
0674055a
FD
1922- Allocated interface IDs are better controlled ('u' bit set to zero,
1923 reserved IDs avoided).
1924
b51c785f
FD
1925- Unicast options are taken into account only for RENEWs.
1926
900405e9
FD
1927- NoAddrsAvail answers to SOLICITs are always ADVERTISEs even when a SOLICIT
1928 carries a rapid-commit option.
1929
96b620e5
FD
1930- Return in place of raise an impossible condition when one tries to release
1931 an empty active lease.
1932
be62cf06
FD
1933- Timer granularity is now 1/100s in the DHCPv6 client.
1934
01a54c17
EH
1935- The dhclient-script was updated to create a host route for the default
1936 gateway if the supplied subnet mask for an IPv4 address was a /32. This
1937 allows the client to work in 'captive' network environments, where the
1938 operator does not want clients to crosstalk directly.
1939
adb95d23 1940- MINUS tokens should be parsable again.
01a54c17
EH
1941
1942- Multiple (up to "delayed-ack x;" maximum) DHCPv4 packets are now queued and
1943 released in bursts after single fsync() events when the upper limit is
1944 reached or if the receiving sockets go dry. The practical upshot is
1945 that fsync-coupled server performance is now multiplicitively increased.
1946 The default delayed ack limit is 28. Thanks entirely to a patch from
1947 Christof Chen.
1948
1949 Changes since 4.0.0 (bug fixes)
1950
1951- DHCP now builds on AIX.
1952
1953- Exit with warning when DHCPv6-specific statements are used in the
1954 config file but -6 is not specified.
1955
1956- Fixed "--version" flag in dhcrelay
1957
1958- The 'min-secs' configuration parameter's log message has been updated to
1959 be more helpful.
1960
1961- The warning logged when an address range doesn't fit in the subnets
1962 they were declared has been updated to be more helpful and identify the
1963 typo in configuration that created the spanning addresses.
1964
1965- A bug in failover pool rebalancing that caused POOLREQ message ping-pongs
1966 was repaired.
1967
1968- A flaw in failover pool rebalancing that could cause POOLREQ messages to
1969 be sent outside of the min-balance/max-balance scheduled intervals has
1970 been repaired.
1971
1972- A cosmetic bug during potential-conflict recovery that caused the peer's
1973 'conflict-done' state message to be logged as 'unknown-state' has been
1974 repaired. It is now logged correctly.
1975
49f61135
DH
1976- A bug was fixed where the 'giaddr' may be used to find the client's subnet
1977 rather than its own 'ciaddr'.
1978
41d4652f
DH
1979- A log message was introduced to clarify the situation where a failover
1980 'address' parameter (the server's local address) did not resolve to an
1981 IPv4 address.

1983- The minimum site code value was set to 224 in 3.1.0 to track RFC3942. This
1984 broke a lot of legacy site local configurations. The new code in place will
1985 track site local space minimum option codes and logs a warning to encourage
1986 updates and exploration of site local code migration problems. Option
1987 codes less than 128 in site local spaces remain inaccessible.
1988
1989- A possible relay agent option bug was repaired where random server
1990 initialization state may have been used to signal the relay agent
1991 information options sub-option code for the 'END' of the option space.

c4d29896
SK
1995- Fixes to allow code to compile on Mac OS X Leopard (10.5).
1996
57fcb8d9
SK
1997- When server is configured with options that it overrides, a warning is
1998 issued when the configuration file is read, rather than at the time the
1999 option is overridden. This was important, because the warning was given
9a111ee8 2000 every time the option was overridden, which could create a lot of
57fcb8d9
SK
2001 unnecessary logging.
2002
219a65eb
DH
2003- Fixed a compilation problems on platforms that define a value for FDDI,
2004 which conflicts with a dhcp configuration syntax token by the same name.
2005
ffdf3c8c
DH
2006- When a failover server suspects it has encountered a peer running a
2007 version 3.0.x failover server, a warning that the failover wire protocol
2008 is incompatible is printed.
2009
2010- The failover server no longer issues a floating point error if it encounters
2011 a previously undefined option code.

2013- Fix startup error messages to report a missing "subnet6 declaration", rather
2014 than a missing "subnet declaration", when running as a DHCPv6 server.
2015
9a111ee8 2016- DHCPv6 client timestamp in DUID was based on the year 1970 rather
7e9f7a1b

2027- The reverse dns name for PTR updates on IPv6 addresses has been fixed to
2028 use ip6.arpa. rather than default to in-addr.arpa and require user
2029 configuration.
76db44f9 2030
e32529a5
EH
2031- dhc6_lease_destroy() and dhc6_ia_destroy() now set lease and IA pointers
2032 to NULL after freeing, to prevent subsequent accesses to freed memory.
2033
9a111ee8 2034- The DHCPv6 server would not send the preference option unless the
76db44f9
SK
2035 client requested it, via the ORO. This has been fixed, so the DHCPv6
2036 server will always send the preference value if it is configured.
e4a6be15 2037
9a111ee8
TM
2038- When addresses were passed as hints to the server in an IA, they were
2039 incorrectly handled, sometimes being treated as an error. Now the
6f76de58
SK
2040 server will treat these as hints and ignore them if it cannot supply
2041 a requested address.
2042
703873ab
DH
2043- If the client had multiple addresses, and one expired (was not renewed
2044 by the server), the client would continue to attempt to renew the same
2045 old address over and over. Now, the client will omit any expired
2046 addresses from future Confirm, Renew, or Rebind messages.
2047
2048- dhclient -6 will now select renew/rebind timers based upon the longest
2049 address expiration time rather than the shortest expiration time, in
2050 order to avoid cascading renewals in the event a server elects not to
2051 extend one of multiple IAADDR leases.
2052
b024480e
DH
2053- The server now limits clients that request multiple addresses to one
2054 address per IA by default, which can be adjusted through the
2055 "limit-addrs-per-ia" configuration option.
2056
c0216cb7
DH
2057- The DHCPv6 client now issues fresh transaction IDs on Renew and Rebind
2058 message exchanges, rather than using the most recent ID.

2073- ./configure now autodetects local database locations rather than trying
2074 to put dhcpd.leases and dhclient.leases in /usr/local/var/db, which no
2075 one ever has.

DH
2089- Relative time may now be used as a qualifier for 'allow' and 'deny' access
2090 control lists. These directives may be used to assist in re-addressing
2091 address pools without having to constantly reconfigure the server. Please
2092 see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more information on allow/deny 'after time' syntax.

2095- The server will now include multiple IA_NA's and multiple IAADDRs within
2096 them, if advertised by the client. It still only seeks to allocate one
2097 new address.

75135a3f 2101- Use different paths for PID and lease files when running in DHCPv4
adb95d23 2102 or DHCPv6 mode, so that servers for both protocols can be run
75135a3f

2106 of service under unusual server configurations

763cba6b 2124
9a111ee8 2125- The DHCP server no longer requires a "ddns-update-style" statement,
884a458f
SK
2126 and now defaults to "none", which means DNS updates are disabled.

2128- Log messages when failover peer names mismatch have been improved to
2129 point out the problem.

9a111ee8 2131- Bug where server advertised a IPv6 address in response to a SOLICIT
1b5053b5

2138- Fixed a ./configure bug where compile tests were failing due to
2139 "-Werror" (unused variable) rather than the actual test failure. Lead
2140 to inconsistent and unworkable auto-configurations.

DH
2147- DHCPv6 server Confirm message processing has been enhanced - it no
2148 longer replies only to clients with host {} records, it now replies
2149 as directed in RFC3315 section 18.2.2 - that is, to all clients
2150 regardless of the existence of bindings.

2152- A core dump during expired lease cleanup has been repaired.
2153
7285af30
DH
2154- DDNS updates state information are now stored in 'binding scopes' that
2155 follow the leases through their lifecycles. This enables DDNS teardowns
2156 on leases that are assigned and expired inbetween a server restart (the
2157 state is recovered from dhcpd.leases). Arbitrary user-specified binding
2158 scopes ('set var = "value";') are not yet supported.

2179 would segfault if a client attempted to renew a lease that had been
2180 loaded from persistent storage.
2181

2183 the DHCPv6 client configuration. 'send dhcp6.oro' is no longer
2184 necessary.
2185
9a111ee8
TM
2186- Bug fixed where configuration file parsing did not work with
2187 zero-length options; this made it impossible to set the
f800f4f6

f66f02cc
DH
2249 header files to include it (fixes a BSD 4.2 compile failure).
2250
2251- Duplicate dhclient-script updates for DHCPv6 to all provided scripts.
a512d11b 2252
4ba58919
DH
2253- DHCPv4 I/O methods that failed to sense hardware address were corrected.
2254
2255- DHCPv4 is now the default (as documented) rather than DHCPv6. The default
2256 was set to DHCPv6 to facilitate ease early development, and forgotten.
2257
2258- Corrected a segmentation violation in DHCPv4 socket processing.
2259
8ea19a71 2260- dhclient will now fork() into the background once it binds to an
45d545f0 2261 IPv6 address, or immediately if the -n flag is supplied.
8ea19a71

98bd7ca0
DH
2272 Changes since 3.1.0 (NEW FEATURES)
2273
2274- DHCPv6 Client and Server protocol support. Use '-6' to run the daemons
2275 as v6-only. Use '-4' to run the daemons as v4-only (default. There is
2276 no support currently for both.
2277
2278- Server support for multiple IA_NA options, containing at most one
2279 IAADDR option.
2280
2281- Client support for one IA_NA option, containing any number of IAADDR
2282 options.
2283
2284- Server support for the DHCPv6 Information-request message.
2285
2286- Inappropriate unicast DHCPv6 messages sent to the server are now
2287 discarded, and this has rearchitected the IO system slightly.
2288
2289- The DHCPv6 server DUID defaults to type 1, is persistently stored in
2290 the leases database, and can be over-ridden (either completely, or by
2291 specifying type 1 or type 2).
2292
2293- The server only uses Rapid-Commit if it has been configured with the
2294 Rapid-Commit option and the client requests it.
2295
2296- DDNS support. We now update AAAA records in the same place we would
2297 update A records, if we have an IPv6 address. We also generate IP6.ARPA
2298 style names for PTR records if we're dealing with an IPv6 address. Both
2299 A and AAAA updates are done using the same 'fqdn.' virtual option space
2300 (although the DHCPv4 FQDN and DHCPv6 FQDN options are formatted
2301 differently, they both use the same code here).
2302
2303- The Linux dhclient-script attempts to set and remove assigned addresses,
2304 and to configure /etc/resolv.conf from nameserver and domain name
2305 configurations. It can be extended to configure other parameters.
2306
2307- Initial DHCPv6 lease support.
2308
2309- The IO system now tracks all local IP addresses, so that the DHCP
2310 applications (particularly the dhcrelay) can discern between what frames
2311 were transmitted to it, and what frames are being carried through it which
2312 it should not intercept.
2313

DH
2314 Changes since 3.1.0 (Maintenance)
2315
2316- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for virgin leases always
2317 mapped to the primary. Virgin leases now have an interleaved preference
2318 between primary and secondary.
2319
2320- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for clients with no client
2321 identifier was sometimes mishashed to the peer. Load balancing during
2322 runtime and pool rebalancing were opposing.
2323
aa3e348e
DH
2324- An assertion in lease counting relating to reserved leases was repaired.
2325
e9c59645
DH
2326- The subnet-mask option inclusion now conforms with RFC2132 section 3.3;
2327 it will only appear prior to the routers option if it is present on the
2328 Parameter-Request-List. The subnet-mask option will also only be
2329 included by default (if it is not on the PRL) in response to DISCOVER
2330 or REQUEST messages.
2331
2332- The FQDN option is only supplied if the client supplied an FQDN option or
2333 if the FQDN option was explicitly requested on the PRL.

DH
2342 Changes since 3.1.0b2
2343
2344- Failover rebalance events no longer play ping pong with round errors
2345 (moving leases between free and back to backup where there are an
2346 odd number of leases).
2347
2348- The 'pool' log line has been split into two messages, one before the
2349 rebalance run, and one after.
2350
2351- Any queued BNDACKs are transmitted before transmitting new BNDUPDs.
2352 This enforces the correct sequence of events for the remote server
2353 processing these messages.

2360- A new server config option "fqdn-reply" specifies whether the server
2361 should send out option 81 (FQDN). Defaults to "on". If set to "off",
2362 the FQDN option is not sent, even if the client requested it. This is
2363 needed because some clients misbehave otherwise. Thanks to Christof Chen
2364 at Allianz.

2373 caused the server to abort.
2374
4d2eaafb
DH
2375- A new server config option, 'do-reverse-updates', has been added
2376 which causes the server to abstain from performing updates on PTR
2377 records. Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen at Allianz.

DH
2406 Changes since 3.1.0a1
2407
2408- A bug in the FQDN universe that added FQDN codes to the NWIP universe's
2409 hash table was repaired.
2410
616d67cb
DH
2411- The servers now try harder to transmit pending binding updates when
2412 entering normal state.
2413
2414- UPDREQ/UPDREQALL handling was optimized - it no longer dequeues and
2415 requeues all pending updates. This should reduce the number of spurious
66c8f734
DH
2416 'xid mismatch' log messages.
2417
2418- An option definition referencing leak was fixed, which resulted in early
2419 termination of dhclient upon the renewal event.
616d67cb 2420
6708d944
DH
2421- Some default hash table sizes were tweaked, some upwards, some downwards.
2422 3.1.0a1's tables resulted in a reduction in default server memory use.
2423 The new selected values provide more of a zero sum (increasing the size
2424 of tables likely to be populated, decreasing the size of tables unlikely).
2425
45d545f0 2426- Lease structures appear in three separate hashes: by IP address, by UID,
6708d944
DH
2427 and by hardware address. One type of table was used for all three, and
2428 improvements to IP address hashing were applied to all three (so UID and
2429 hardware addresses were treated like 4-byte integers). There are now two
2430 types of tables, and the uid/hw hashes use functions more appropriate
2431 to their needs.
2432
2433- The max-lease-misbalance percentage no longer causes scheduled rebalance
2434 runs to be skipped: it still governs the schedule, but every scheduled
2435 run will attempt balance.
2436
a7ee93fe
DH
2437- A segfault bug in recursive encapsulation support has been corrected.
2438
98311e4b
DH
2439 Changes since 3.0 (New Features)
2440
2441- A workaround for certain STSN servers that send a mangled domain-name
2442 option was introduced for dhclient. The client will now accept corrupted
2443 server responses, if they contain a valid DHCP_MESSAGE_TYPE (OFFER, ACK,
2444 or NAK). The server will continue to not accept corrupt client packets.
2445
98bd7ca0 2446- Support for 'reserved' (pseudo-static) and BOOTP leases via failover
a55ccdd0 2447 was introduced.
98311e4b
DH
2448
2449- Support for adding, removing, and managing class and subclass statements
2450 via OMAPI.
2451
a55ccdd0
DH
2452- The failover implementation was updated to comply with revision 12 of
2453 the protocol draft.
2454
98311e4b
DH
2455- 'make install' now creates the initial zero-length dhcpd.leases file if
2456 one does not already exist on the system.
2457
b43c87ad 2458- RFC3942 compliance, site-local option spaces start at 224 now, not 128.
b43c87ad 2459
0b17f049
DH
2460- The Load Balance Algorithm was misimplemented. The current implementation
2461 matches RFC 3074.
2462
2727c1cf
DH
2463- lcase() and ucase() configuration expressions have been added which adjust
2464 their arguments from upper to lower and lower to upper cases respectively.
2714a8ef 2465 Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
2727c1cf 2466
febbd402
DH
2467- The dhclient 'reject ...;' statement, which rejects leases given by named
2468 server-identifiers, now permits address ranges to be specified in CIDR
7d7073e7 2469 notation. Thanks to a patch from David Boyce.
febbd402 2470
ee912528
DH
2471- The subnet-mask option is now supplied by default, but at lowest
2472 priority. This helps a small minority of clients that provide parameter
2473 request lists, but do not list the subnet-mask option because they were
2474 designed to interoperate with a server that behaves in this manner.
2475
2476- The FQDN option is similarly supplied even if it does not appear on the
2477 parameter request list, but not to the exclusion of options that do
2478 appear at the parameter request list. Up until now it had ultimate
2479 priority over the client's parameter request list.
2480
f7fdb216 2481- Varying option space code and length bit widths (8/16/32) are now
51202707 2482 supported. This is a milestone in achieving RFC 3925 "VIVSO" and
f7fdb216
DH
2483 DHCPv6 support.
2484
5e864416
DH
2485- A new common (server or client) option, 'db-time-format local;', has
2486 been added which prints the local time in /var/db/dhcpd.leases rather
2487 than UTC. Thanks to a patch from Ken Lalonde.
2488
b500bd4c
DH
2489- Some patches to improve DHCP Server startup speed from Andrew Matheson
2490 have been incorporated.
2491
2426234f
DH
2492- Failover pairs now implement 'MAC Affinity' on leases moving from the
2493 active to free states. Leases that belonged to the failover secondary
2494 are moved to BACKUP state rather than FREE upon exiting EXPIRED state.
2495 If lease rebalancing must move leases, it tries first to move leases
2496 that belong to the peer in need.
2497
2498- The server no longer sends POOLREQ messages unless the pool is severely
2499 misbalanced in the peer's favor (see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more details).
2500
2501- Pool rebalance events no longer happen upon successfully allocating a
2502 lease. Instead, they happen on a schedule. See 'man dhcpd.conf' for the
2503 min-balance and max-balance statements for more information.
2504
334bf491
DH
2505- The DHCP Relay Agent Information Option / Link Selection Sub-Option
2506 is now supported. (See RFC3527 for details).
2507
3004bebf
DH
2508- A new DDNS related server option, update-conflict-detection, has been
2509 added. If this option is enabled, dhcpd will perform normal DHCID
2510 conflict resolution (the default). If this option is disabled, it will
2511 instead trust the assigned name implicitly (removing any other bindings
2512 on that name). This option has not been made available in dhclient.
2513
567e8561
DH
2514- In those cases where the DHCP software manufactures an IP header (to
2515 transmit via bpf, lpf, etc), the IP TTL the software selects has been
2516 increased from 16 to 128. This is intended to match Microsoft Windows
2517 DHCP Client behaviour, to increase compatibility.
2518
a396d25f
DH
2519- 'ignore client-updates;' now has behaviour that is different from
2520 'deny client-updates;'. The client's request is not truly ignored,
2521 rather it is encouraged. Should this value be configured, the server
2522 updates DNS as though client-updates were set to 'deny'. That is, it
2523 enters into DNS whatever it is configured to do already, provided it is
2524 configured to. Then it sends a response to the client that lets the
2525 client believe it is performing client updates (which it will), probably
2526 for a different name. In essence, this lets the client do as it will,
2527 ignoring this aspect of their request.
2528
dba5803b
DH
2529- Support for compressed 'domain name list' style DHCP option contents, and
2530 in particular the domain search option (#119) was added.
2531
41e45067 2532- The DHCP LEASEQUERY protocol as defined in RFC4388 is now implemented.
6d103865
SK
2533 LEASEQUERY lets you query the DHCP server for information about a lease,
2534 using either an IP address, MAC address, or client identifier. Thanks
2535 to a patch from Justin Haddad.
2536
41e45067
DH
2537- DHCPD is now RFC2131 section 4.1 compliant (broadcast to all-ones ip and
2538 ethernet mac address) on the SCO platform specifically without any strange
2539 ifconfig hacks. Many thanks go to the Kroger Co. for donating the
2540 hardware and funding the development.
6d103865 2541
b543fea9
DH
2542- A new common configuration executable statement, execute(), has been
2543 added. This permits dhcpd or dhclient to execute a named external
2544 program with command line arguments specified from other configuration
2545 language. Thanks to a patch written by Mattias Ronnblom, gotten to us
2546 via Robin Breathe.
2547
b22de500
DH
2548- A new dhcp server option 'adaptive-lease-time-threshold' has been added
2549 which causes the server to substantially reduce lease-times if there are
2550 few (configured percentage) remaining leases. Thanks to a patch submitted
2551 from Christof Chen.
2552
96bbe8c5
SK
2553- Encapsulated option spaces within encapsulated option spaces is now
2554 formally supported.
2555
b8221d95
DH
2556 Changes since 3.0.6rc1
2557
2558- supersede_lease() now requeues leases in their respective hardware
2559 address hash bucket. This mirrors client identifier behaviour.
2560
c1e6c832
DH
2561 Changes since 3.0.5
2562
f546c28b
DH
2563- Assorted fixes for broken network devices: Packet length is now
2564 determined from the IP header length field to finally calculate the
2565 UDP payload length, because some NIC drivers return more data than
5a22eb63 2566 they actually received.
f546c28b
DH
2567
2568- UDP packets are now stored in aligned data structures.
2569
c1e6c832
DH
2570- A logic error in omapi interface code was repaired that might result in
2571 incorrectly indicating 'up' state when any flags were set, rather than
23e10d37
DH
2572 specifically the INTERFACE_REQUESTED flag. Thanks to a patch from
2573 Jochen Voss which got to us via Andrew Pollock at Debian.
c1e6c832 2574
75ab3070
DH
2575- A reference leak on binding scopes set by ddns updates was repaired.
2576
d69fb6a8 2577- A memory leak in the minires_nsendsigned() function call was repaired.
23e10d37 2578 Effectively, this leaked ~176 bytes per DDNS update.
d69fb6a8 2579
02428754
DH
2580- In the case where an "L2" DHCP Relay Agent (one that does not set giaddr)
2581 was directly attached to the same broadcast domain as the DHCP server,
2582 the RFC3046 relay agent information option was not being returned to the
2583 relay in the server's replies. This was fixed; the dhcp server no longer
2584 requires the giaddr to reply with relay agent information. Note that
2585 this also improves compatibility with L2 devices that "intercept" DHCP
2586 packets and expect relay agent information even in unicast (renewal)
23e10d37
DH
2587 replies. Thanks to a patch from Pekka Silvonen.
2588
2589- A bug was fixed where the BOOTP header 'sname' field had a value, the
2590 copy written to persistent storage was actually the contents of the
2591 'file' field.
02428754 2592
ecde99a3
DH
2593- A bug was fixed where the nwip virtual option space was referencing
2594 the fqdn option's virtual option space's option cache.
2595
67674ffb
DH
2596- Timestamp parsing errors that indicated missing "minutes" fields rather
2597 than the actually missing "seconds" fields have been repaired thanks to
2598 a patch from Kevin Steves.
2599
830ebc4c
DH
2600- A grammar error in the dhclient.8 manpage was repaired thanks to a patch
2601 from Chris Wagner.
2602
c759db75
DH
2603- Several spelling typos were repaired, and some cross-references to other
2604 relevant documents were included in the manpages, thanks to a patch
2605 by Andrew Pollock which got to us via Tomas Pospisek.
2606
9aa3f3a5
DH
2607- Some bugs were fixed in the 'emergency relay agent options hologram'
2608 which is used to retain relay agent option contents from when the
2609 client was in INIT or REBIND states. This should solve problems where
2610 relay agent options were not echoed from the server, even when giaddr
2611 was set.
2612
3d0c598a
DH
2613- dhclient now closes its descriptor to dhclient.leases prior to executing
2614 dhclient-script. Thanks to a patch from Tomas Pospisek.
2615
d5b6835f
DH
2616- The server's "by client-id" and "by hardware address" hash table lists
2617 are now sorted according to the preference to re-allocate that lease to
2618 returning clients. This should eliminate pool starvation problems
2619 arising when "INIT" clients were given new leases rather than presently
2620 active ones.
2621
02428754 2622 Changes since 3.0.5rc1
0a73b7b6 2623
901306d5 2624- A bug was repaired in fixes to the dhclient, which sought to run the
0a73b7b6
SK
2625 dhclient-script with the 'EXPIRE' state should it receive a NAK in
2626 response to a REQUEST. The client now iterates the PREINIT state
2627 after the EXPIRE state, so that interfaces that might be configured
2628 'down' can be brought back 'up' and initialized.
2629
87a08ccc
DH
2630- DHCPINFORM handling for clients that properly set ciaddr and come to the
2631 server via a relay aget has been repaired.
2632
6da113fb
DH
2633 Changes since 3.0.4
2634
2635- A warning that host statements declared within subnet or shared-network
2636 scopes are actually global has been added.
2637
2638- The default minimum lease time (if min-lease-time was not specified)
2639 was raised from 0 to 300. 0 is not thought to be sensible, and is
2640 known to be damaging.
2641
2642- Added additional fatal error sanity checks surrounding lease binding
2643 state count calculations (free/active counts used for failover pool
2644 balancing).
2645
dcc557db
DH
2646- Some time value size fixes in 3.0.4 brought on from FreeBSD /usr/ports were
2647 misapplied to server values rather than client values. The server no longer
2648 advertises 8-byte lease-time options when on 64-bit platforms.
2649
1b2ab55f
DH
2650- A bug where leases not in ACTIVE state would get billed to billed classes
2651 (classes with lease limitations) was fixed. Non-active leases OFFERed
2652 to clients are no longer billed (but billing is checked before offering).
2653
e48891e8
DH
2654- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated in regard to the ddns-domainname
2655 configuration option - the default configuration and results should be
2656 more clear now.
2657
6cbc6629
DH
2658- If the dhclient were to receive a DHCPNAK while it was in the RENEW
2659 state (and consequently, had an active, 'bound' address and related
2660 configuration options), it would fail to 'tear down' this information
2661 before proceeding into INIT state. dhclient now iterates the dhclient-
2662 script with the 'EXPIRE' action to cause these teardowns prior to entering
1d3bfb17 2663 INIT state. Thanks to a patch from Chris Zimmerman.
6cbc6629 2664
c5fec5fa
DH
2665- The omapi.1 manpage had some formatting errors repaired thanks to a patch
2666 from Yoshihiko Sarumaru.
2667
33e1cb2b
DH
2668- A few lines of code that were failover-specific were moved within
2669 #if defined() clauses so that compilation without failover could be
2670 made possible.
2671
2bddf829
DH
2672- The log message emitted when the 'leased-address' value was not available
2673 in dhcpd.conf "executable statements" has been updated to be more helpful.
2674 Manpage information for this value has also been updated.
2675
87578987
DH
2676- Abandoned or dissociated (err condition) leases now remove any related
2677 dynamic dns bindings. Thanks to a patch from Patrick Schoo.
2678
e77c575f
DH
2679- Attempting to write a new lease file to replace a corrupt (due to
2680 encountering non-retryable errors during writing) lease file should
2681 no longer result in an infinite recursion.
2682
2178df03
DH
2683- Host declaration hardware addresses and client identifiers may only be
2684 configured once. dhcpd will now fail to load config files that specify
2685 multiple identifiers (previous versions would silently over-ride the
2686 value with the later configured value).
2687
d5341d9b
SK
2688- Several option codes that have been allocated since our last release
2689 have been named and documented.
2690
2691- Option names of the form "unknown-123" have been removed from the in-
2692 memory hash tables. In order to support options of these names that
2693 may appear in dhclient.leases or similar in previous versions, the
2694 parser will now find the new option code definition, or mock up a
2695 generic option code definition. This should result in a smooth
2696 transition from one name to the other, as the new name is used to
2697 write new output.
2698
6da113fb
DH
2699 Changes since 3.0.4rc1
2700
2701- The dhcp-options.5 manpage was updated to correct indentation errors
2702 thanks to a patch from Jean Delvare.
2703
2704 Changes since 3.0.4b3
2705
2706- Some manual pages were clarified pursuant to discussion on the dhcp-server
2707 mailing list.
2708
88cd8aca
DH
2709 Changes since 3.0.4b2
2710
45d545f0 2711- Null-termination sensing for certain clients that unfortunately require
88cd8aca
DH
2712 it in DHCPINFORM processing was repaired.
2713
2714- The host-name option and a few others were moved from "X" format to "t"
2715 format to be compatible with new NULL handling functions.
2716
2717- DHCPINFORM processing is a little more careful about return addressing
2718 its responses, or if responding via a relay. The INFORM related
2719 messages also log the 'effective client ip address' rather than the
2720 client's supplied ciaddr (since some clients produce null ciaddrs).
2721
2722- The server was inappropriately sending leases to the RESET state in the
2723 event that multiple active leases were found to match a singly-identified
2724 client. This was changed to RELEASED (by accepting a different, ACTIVE
2725 binding, the client is implicitly releasing its lease). This repairs a
2726 bug wherein secondary servers in failover pairs detecting this condition
2727 move leases to RESET, and primaries refuse to accept that state
2728 transition (properly).
2729
2730- The memset-after-dmalloc() changes made in 3.0.4b1 have been backed out.
2731
2732 Changes since 3.0.4b1
2733
2734- Command line parsing in omshell was repaired - it no longer closes
2735 STDIN after reading one line.
2736
2737- The resolver library no longer closes the /etc/resolv.conf file
2738 descriptor it opened twice.
2739
2740- Changes to trailing NULL removal in 't' option-atoms has been rethought,
2741 it now includes 'd' (domain name) types, and tries hard not to rewind an
2742 option beyond the start of the text field it is un-terminating.
2743
2744 Changes since 3.0.3
2745
2746- A DDNS update handling function was misusing the DNS error codes, rather
2747 than the internal generic result enumeration. The result is a confusing
2748 syslog line, logging the wrong condition.
2749
2750- The DHCP Server was not checking pool balance in the case where it brought
2751 a non-ACTIVE lease out of storage for a client that was returning to use
2752 a lease it once had long ago, and had since expired.
2753
2754- Failover peers no longer bother to look for free leases to allocate when
2755 they already found the client's ACTIVE lease. DISCOVERs are load balanced
98bd7ca0 2756 whether freely-allocated or not, unless the server doubts the peer has
88cd8aca
DH
2757 leases to allocate.
2758
2759- Fixed a bug in dhcrelay agent addition code that suppressed trailing
45d545f0 2760 PAD options - it was suppressing only one trailing PAD option, rather
88cd8aca
DH
2761 than the entire block of them.
2762
3a16098f
DH
2763! Fixed some unlikely overlapping-region memcpy() bugs in dhcrelay agent
2764 option addition and stripping code. Added a few sanity checks. Although
2765 highly improbable, due to requiring the reception of a DHCP datagram well
2766 in excess of all known to be used physical MTU limitations, it is possible
2767 this may have been used in a stack overflow security vulnerability. Thanks
2768 to a patch from infamous42md.
2769
2770! Added some sanity checks to OMAPI connection/authentication code.
2771 Although highly improbable, due to having to deliver in excess of 2^32
2772 bytes of data via the OMAPI channel, not to mention requiring dhcpd to
2773 be able to malloc() a memory region 2^32 bytes in size, it was possible
2774 this might have resulted in a heap overflow security vulnerability.
2775 Thanks to a patch from infamous42md.
88cd8aca
DH
2776
2777- dmalloc() memset()'s the non-debug (data) portion of the allocated
2778 memory to zero. Code that memset()'s the result returned by dmalloc() to
2779 zero is redundant. These redundancies were removed.
2780
2781- Some type declaration corrections to u_int16_t were made in common/tr.c
4b97eaff 2782 (Token Ring support) thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
88cd8aca
DH
2783
2784- A failover bug that was allowing leases that EXPIRED or were RELEASED
2785 where tsfp and tstp are identical timestamps to languish in these
2786 transitional states has been repaired. As a side effect, lease
2787 databases should be kept more consistent overall, not just for these
2788 transitional states.
2789
2790- If the lease db is deleted out from under the daemon, and it moves to rewrite
2791 the db, it will go ahead with the operation and move the new db into place
2792 once it detects the old db does not exist.
2793
2794- dhclient now ignores IRDA, SIT, and IEEE1394 network interfaces, as it
2795 is either nonsensical or (in the case of IEEE1394) is not known to support
2796 these interfaces. Thanks to Marius Gedminas and Andrew Pollock of Debian.
2797
2798- Some previously undocumented reasons for dhclient-script invoking has
45d545f0 2799 been documented in the dhclient-script.8 manpage.
88cd8aca
DH
2800
2801- Failover potential expiry calculations (TSTP) have been corrected. Results
2802 should be substantially more consistent, and proper given the constraints.
2803
2804- Adjusted lease state validation checks in potential-conflict, to
2805 account for possible clock skew similarly to normal state, and several
2806 previously illegal transitions were made legal (ex: active->released).
2807
2808- An impossible sanity check was removed from omapi/buffer.c, thanks to a
2809 patch from 'infamous42md'.
2810
2811- An OMAPI host/network byte order problem in lease time values has been
2812 repaired.
2813
2814- Several minor bugs, largely relating to treating 8-byte time values as
2815 4-byte entities, have been repaired after careful review of the FreeBSD
2816 ports collection's patch set. Thanks to the nameless entities who have
2817 contributed to the FreeBSD ports.
2818
2819- When writing a trace file, the file is now created with permissions 0600,
2820 to help administrators avoid accidentally publicising sensitive config
2821 data.
2822
2823- The calculation of the maximum size of DHCP packets no longer includes
2824 Ethernet framing overhead. The result is that the 'Maximum Message
2825 Size' option advertised by clients, or the default value 576, is no
2826 longer reduced by 14 bytes, and instead directly reflects the IP level
2827 MTU (and the default, minimum allowed IP MTU of 576).
2828
2829- The special status of RELEASED/EXPIRED/RESET leases when a server
2830 is operating in partner-down was fixed. It no longer requires a
2831 lease be twice the MCLT beyond STOS to 'reallocate', and the expiry
2832 event to turn these into FREE leases without peer acknowledgement
2833 (after STOS+MCLT) has been repaired.
2834
2835- Compilation on older Solaris systems (lacking /usr/include/sys/int_types.h)
2836 has been repaired.
2837
2838- "append"ing a string onto the end of a "t" type option (such as the
2839 domain-name field) that had been improperly NULL-terminated by the
2840 DHCP server will no longer result in a truncated string containing
2841 only the option from the server, and not the expected appended value.
4b97eaff 2842 Thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.

2843
2844- File handlers on configuration state (config files and lease dbs) should
98bd7ca0 2845 be treated consistently, regardless of whether TRACING is defined or not.
88cd8aca 2846
45d545f0 2847- The Linux build environment has had some minor improvements - better
88cd8aca
DH
2848 sensing of 64-bit pointer sizes (only used for establishing an icmp_id),
2849 and corrections to #if operators regarding LINUX_MAJOR should it ever
2850 move to 3.[01].x.
2851
2852- The server now tries harder to survive the condition where it is unable
2853 to open a new lease file to rewrite the lease state database.

2855 Changes since 3.0.3b3
2856
2857- dhclient.conf documentation for interface {} was updated to reflect recent
2858 discussion on the dhcp-hackers mailing list.
2859
2860- In response to reports that the software does not compile on GCC 4.0.0,
2861 -Werror was removed from Makefile.conf for all platforms that used it.
2862 We will address the true problem in a future release; this is a temporary
2863 workaround.
2864
2865 Changes since 3.0.3b2
2866
2867- An error in code changes introduced in 3.0.3b2 was corrected, which caused
2868 static BOOTP clients to receive random addresses.
2869
2870 Changes since 3.0.3b1
2871
2872- A bug was fixed in BOOTPREQUEST handling code wherein stale references to
2873 host records would be left behind on leases that were not allocated to the
2874 client currently booting (eg in the case where the host was denied booting).
2875
2876- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated to be more clear in regards to
2877 multiple host declarations (thanks to Vincent McIntyre). 'Interim' style
2878 dynamic updates were also retouched.
2879
98311e4b
DH
2880 Changes since 3.0.2
2881
2882- A bug was fixed where a server might load balance a DHCP REQUEST to its
45d545f0 2883 peer after already choosing not to load balance the preceding DISCOVER.
98311e4b
DH
2884 The peer cannot allocate the originating server's lease.
2885
2886- In the case where a secondary server lost its stable storage while the
2887 primary was still in communications-interrupted, and came back online,
2888 the lease databases would not be fully transferred to the secondary.
2889 This was due to the secondary errantly sending an extra UPDREQ message
2890 when the primary made its state transition to PARTNER-DOWN known.
2891
2892- The package will now compile cleanly in gcc 3.3 and 3.4. As a side effect,
2893 lease structures will be 9 bytes smaller on all platforms. Thanks to
4b97eaff 2894 Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
2895
2896- Interface discovery code in DISCOVER_UNCONFIGURED mode is now
2897 properly restricted to only detecting broadcast interfaces. Thanks
4b97eaff 2898 to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
2899
2900- decode_udp_ip_header was changed so that the IP address was copied out
2901 to a variable, rather than referenced by a pointer. This enforces 4-byte
2902 alignment of the 32-bit IP address value. Thanks to a patch from Dr.
2903 Peter Poeml.
2904
2905- An incorrect log message was corrected thanks to a patch from
2906 Dr. Peter Poeml.
2907
2908- A bug in DDNS was repaired, where if the server's first DDNS action was
2909 a DDNS removal rather than a DDNS update, the resolver library's
2910 retransmit timer and retry timer was set to the default, implying a
2911 15 second timeout interval. Which is a little excessive in a synchronous,
2912 single-threaded system. In all cases, ISC DHCP should now hold fast to
2913 a 1-second timeout, trying only once.
2914
2915- The siaddr field was being improperly set to the server-identifier when
2916 responding to DHCP messages. RFC2131 clarified the siaddr field as
2917 meaning the 'next server in the bootstrap process', eg a tftp server.
2918 The siaddr field is now left zeroed unless next-server is configured.
2919
2920- mockup_lease() could have returned in an error condition (or in the
2921 condition where no fixed-address was found matching the shared
2922 network) with stale references to a host record. This is probably not
2923 a memory leak since host records generally never die anyway.
2924
2925- A bug was repaired where failover servers would let stale client identifiers
2926 persist on leases that were reallocated to new clients not sending an id.
2927
2928- Binding scopes ("set var = value;") are now removed from leases allocated
2929 by failover peers if the lease had expired. This should help reduce the
2930 number of stale binding scopes on leases.
2931
2932- A small memory leak was closed involving client identifiers larger than
2933 7 bytes, and failover.
2934
2935- Configuring a subnet in dhcpd.conf with a subnet mask of 32 bits might
2936 cause an internal function to overflow heap. Thanks to Jason Vas Dias
4b97eaff 2937 at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
2938
2939- Some inconsistencies in treating numbers that the lexer parsed as 'NUMBER'
2940 or 'NUMBER_OR_NAME' was repaired. Hexadecimal parsing is affected, and
2941 should work better.
2942
2943- In several cases, parse warnings were being issued before the lexical
2944 token had been advanced to the token whose value was causing an error...
2945 causing parse warnings to claim the problem is on the wrong token.
2946
2947- Host declarations matching on client identifier for dynamic leases will
2948 no longer match fixed-address host declarations (this is now identical
2949 to behaviour for host records matching on hardware address).
2950
2951 Changes since 3.0.2rc3
2952
2953- A previously undocumented configuration directive, 'local-address',
2954 was documented in the dhcpd.conf manpage.
2955
2956 Changes since 3.0.2rc2
2957
45d545f0 2958- Two variables introduced in 3.0.2b1 were used without being initialized
98311e4b
DH
2959 in the case where neither the FILE nor SNAME fields were available for
2960 overloading. This was repaired.
2961
2962- A heretofore believed to be impossible corner case of the option
2963 overloading implementation turned out to be possible ("Unable to sort
2964 overloaded options after 10 tries."). The implementation was reworked
2965 to consider the case of an option so large it would require more than
2966 three chunks to fit.
2967
2968- Many other instances of variables being used without being initialized
2969 were repaired.
2970
2971- An uninitialized variable in omapi_io_destroy() led to the discovery
2972 that this function may result in orphaned pointers (and hence, a memory
2973 leak).
2974
2975 Changes since 3.0.2rc1
2976
2977- allocate_lease() was rewritten to repair a bug in which the server would
2978 try to allocate an ABANDONED lease when FREE leases were available.
2979
2980 Changes since 3.0.2b1
2981
2982- Some dhcp-eval.5 manpage formatting was repaired.
2983
2984 Changes since 3.0.1
2985
2986- A bug was fixed in the server's 'option overloading' implementation,
2987 where options loaded into the 'file' and 'sname' packet fields were
2988 not aligned precisely as rfc2131 dictates.
2989
2990- The FreeBSD client script was changed to support the case where a domain
2991 name was not provided by the server.
2992
2993- A memory leak in 'omshell' per each command line parsed was
2994 repaired, thanks to a patch from Jarkko Torppa.
2995
2996- Log functions writing to stderr were adjusted to use the STDERR_FILENO
2997 system definition rather than '2'. This is a no-op for 90% of platforms.
2998
2999- One call to trace_write_packet_iov() counted the number of io vectors
3000 incorrectly, causing inconsistent tracefiles. This was fixed.
3001
3002- Some expression parse failure memory leaks were closed.
3003
3004- A host byte order problem in tracefiles was repaired.
3005
3006- Pools configured in DHCPD for failover possessing permission lists that
adb95d23 3007 previously were assumed to not include dynamic bootp clients are now
98311e4b
DH
3008 a little more pessimistic. The result is, dhcpd will nag you about just
3009 about most pools that possess a 'allow' statement with no 'deny' that
3010 would definitely match a dynamic bootp client.
3011
3012- The 'ddns-update-style' configuration warning bit now insists that
3013 the configuration be globally scoped.
3014
3015- Two memory leaks in dhclient were closed thanks to a patch from Felix
3016 Farkas.
3017
3018- Some minor but excellently pedantic documentation errors were fixed
3019 thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
3020
3021- Bugs in operator precedence in executable statements have been repaired
3022 once again. More legal syntaxes should be parsed legally.
3023
3024- Failing to initialize a tracefile for any reason if a tracefile was
3025 specified is now a fatal error. Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
3026
3027- Corrected a bug in which the number of leases transferred as calculated
3028 by the failover primary and sent to peers in POOLRESP responses may be
3029 incorrect. This value is not believed to be used by other failover
3030 implementations, excepting perhaps as logged information.
3031
3032- Corrected a bug in which 'dhcp_failover_send_poolresp()' was in fact
3033 sending POOLREQ messages instead of POOLRESP mesasges. This message
3034 was essentially ignored since failover secondaries effectively do not
3035 respond to POOLREQ messages.
3036
3037- Type definitions for various bitwidths of integers in the sunos5-5
3038 build of ISC DHCP have been fixed. It should compile and run more
3039 easily when built in 64-bit for this platform.
3040
3041- "allow known-clients;" is now a legal syntax, to avoid confusion.
3042
3043- If one dhcp server chooses to 'load balance' a request to its failover
3044 peer, it first checks to see if it believes said peer has a free
3045 lease to allocate before ignoring the DISCOVER.
3046
3047- log() was logging a work buffer, rather than the value returned by
3048 executing the statements configured by the user. In some cases,
3049 the work buffer and the intended results were the same. In some other
3050 cases, they were not. This was fixed thanks to a patch from Gunnar
3051 Fjone and directconnect.no.
3052
3053- Compiler warnings for some string type conversions was fixed, thanks
3054 to Andreas Gustafsson.
3055
3056- The netbsd build environments were simplified to one, in which
3057 -Wconversion is not used, thanks to Andreas Gustafsson.
3058
3059- How randomness in the backoff-cutoff dhclient configuration variable
3060 is implemented was better documented in the manpage, and the behaviour
3061 of dhclient in REQUEST timeout handling was changed to match that of
3062 DISCOVER timeout handling.
3063
3064- Omapi was hardened against clients that pass in null values, thanks
3065 to a patch from Mark Jason Dominus.
3066
3067- A bug was fixed in dhclient that kept it from doing client-side
3068 ddns updates. Thanks to a patch from Andreas Gustafsson, which
3069 underwent some modification after review by Jason Vas Dias.
3070
3071- Failover implementations disconnected due to the network between
3072 them (rather than one of the two shutting down) will now try to
3073 re-establish the failover connection every 5 seconds, rather than
3074 to simply try once and give up until one of them is restarted.
3075 Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from Infoblox, and field testing
3076 by Greger V. Teigre which led to an enhancement to it.
3077
3078- A problem that kept DHCP Failover secondaries from tearing down
3079 ddns records was repaired. Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from
3080 Infoblox.
3081
3082- 64bit pointer sizes are detected properly on FreeBSD now.
3083
3084- A bug was repaired where the DHCP server would leave stale references
3085 to host records on leases it once thought about offering to certain
3086 clients. The result would be to apply host and 'known' scopes to the
3087 wrong clients (possibly denying booting). NOTE: The 'mis-host' patch
3088 that was being circulated as a workaround is not the way this bug was
3089 fixed. If you were a victim of this bug in 3.0.1, you are cautioned
3090 to proceed carefully and see if it fixes your problem.
3091
3092- A bug was repaired in the server's DHCPINFORM handling, where it
3093 tried to divine the client's address from the source packet and
3094 would get it wrong. Thanks to Anshuman Singh Rawat.
3095
3096- A log message was introduced to help illuminate the case where the
3097 server was unable to find a lease to assign to any BOOTP client.
3098 Thanks to Daniel Baker.
3099
3100- A minor dhcpd.conf.5 manpage error was fixed.
3101
3102 Changes since 3.0.1rc14
3103
3104- The global variable 'cur_time' was centralized and is now uniformly of a
3105 type #defined in system-dependent headers. It had previously been defined
3106 in one of many places as a 32-bit value, and this causes mayhem on 64-bit
3107 big endian systems. It probably wasn't too healthy on little endian
3108 systems either.
3109
3110- A printf format string error introduced in rc14 was repaired.
3111
3112- AIX system-dependent header file was altered to only define NO_SNPRINTF
3113 if the condition used to #ifdef in vsnprintf in AIX' header files
3114 is false.
3115
3116- The Alpha/OSF system-dependent header file was altered to define
3117 NO_SNPRINTF on OS revisions older than 4.0G.
3118
3119- omapip/test.c had string.h added to its includes.
3120
3121 Changes since 3.0.1rc13
3122
3123! CAN-2004-0460 - CERT VU#317350: Five stack overflow exploits were closed
3124 in logging messages with excessively long hostnames provided by the
3125 clients. It is highly probable that these could have been used by
3126 attackers to gain arbitrary root access on systems using ISC DHCP 3.0.1
3127 release candidates 12 or 13. Special thanks to Gregory Duchemin for
3128 both finding and solving the problem.
3129
3130! CAN-2004-0461 - CERT VU#654390: Once the above was closed, an opening
45d545f0 3131 in log_*() functions was evidenced, on some specific platforms where
98311e4b
DH
3132 vsnprintf() was not believed to be available and calls were wrapped to
3133 sprintf() instead. Again, credit goes to Gregory Duchemin for finding
3134 the problem. Calls to snprintf() are now linked to a distribution-local
3135 snprintf implementation, only in those cases where the architecture is
3136 not known to provide one (see includes/cf/[arch].h). If you experience
3137 linking problems with snprintf/vsnprintf or 'isc_print_' functions, this
3138 is where to look. This vulnerability did not exist in any previously
3139 published version of ISC DHCP.
3140
3141- Compilation on hpux 11.11 was repaired.
3142
3143- 'The cross-compile bug fix' was backed out.
3144
3145 Changes since 3.0.1rc12
3146
3147- Fixed a bug in omapi lease lookup function, to form the hardware
3148 address for the hash lookup correctly, thanks to a patch from
3149 Richard Hirst.
3150
3151- Fixed a bug where dhcrelay was sending relayed responses back to the
3152 broadcast address, but with the source's unicast mac address. Should
3153 now conform to rfc2131 section 4.1.
3154
3155- Cross-compile bug fix; use $(AR) instead of ar. Thanks to Morten Brorup.
3156
3157- Fixed a crash bug in dhclient where dhcpd servers that do not provide
3158 renewal times results in an FPE. As a side effect, dhclient can now
3159 properly handle 0xFFFFFFFF (-1) expiry times supplied by servers. Thanks
3160 to a patch from Burt Silverman.
3161
3162- The 'ping timeout' debugs from rc12 were removed to -DDEBUG only,
45d545f0 3163 and reformatted to correct a compilation error on Solaris platforms.
98311e4b
DH
3164
3165- A patch was applied which fixes a case where leases read from the
3166 leases database do not properly over-ride previously read leases.
3167
3168- dhcpctl.3 manpage was tweaked.
3169
3170 Changes since 3.0.1rc11
3171
3172- A patch from Steve Campbell was applied with minor modifications to
3173 permit reverse dns PTR record updates with values containing spaces.
3174
3175- A patch from Florian Lohoff was applied with some modifications to
3176 dhcrelay. It now discards packets whose hop count exceeds 10 by default,
3177 and a command-line option (-c) can be used to set this threshold.
3178
3179- A failover bug relating to identifying peers by name length instead of
3180 by name was fixed.
3181
45d545f0 3182- Declaring failover configs within shared-network statements should no
98311e4b
DH
3183 longer result in error.
3184
3185- The -nw command line option to dhclient now works.
3186
3187- Thanks to a patch from Michael Richardson:
3188 - Some problems with long option processing have been fixed.
3189 - Some fixes to minires so that updates of KEY records will work.
3190
3191- contrib/ms2isc was updated by Shu-Min Chang of the Intel Corporation.
3192 see contrib/ms2isc/readme.txt for revision notes.
3193
3194- Dhclient no longer uses shell commands to kill another instance of
3195 itself, it sends the signal directly. Thanks to a patch from Martin
3196 Blapp.
3197
3198- The FreeBSD dhclient-script was changed so that a failure to write to
3199 /etc/resolv.conf does not prematurely end the script. This keeps dhclient
3200 from looping infinitely when this is the case. Thanks to a patch from
3201 Martin Blapp.
3202
3203- A patch from Bill Stephens was applied which resolves a problem with lease
3204 expiry times in failover configurations.
3205
3206- A memory leak in configuration parsing was closed thanks to a patch from
3207 Steve G.
3208
3209- The function which discovers interfaces will now skip non-broadcast or
3210 point-to-point interfaces, thanks to a patch from David Brownlee.
3211
3212- Options not yet known by the dhcpd or dhclient have had their names
3213 changed such that they do not contain # symbols, in case they should ever
3214 appear in a lease file. An option that might have been named "#144" is
3215 now "unknown-144".
3216
3217- Another patch from Bill Stephens which allows the ping-check timeout to
3218 be configured as 'ping-timeout'. Defaults to 1.
3219
3220 Changes since 3.0.1rc10
3221
3222- Potential buffer overflows in minires repaired.
3223
3224- A change to the linux client script to use /bin/bash, since /bin/sh may
3225 not be bash.
3226
3227- Some missing va_end cleanups thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
3228
3229- A correction of boolean parsing syntax validation - some illegal syntaxes
3230 that worked before are now detected and produce errs, some legal syntaxes
3231 that errored before will now work properly.
3232
3233- Some search-and-replace errors that caused some options to change their
3234 names was repaired.
3235
3236- Shu-min Chang of the Intel corporation has contributed a perl script and
3237 module that converts the MS NT4 DHCP configuration to a ISC DHCP3
3238 configuration file.
3239
3240- Applied the remainder of the dhcpctl memory leak patch provided by Bill
3241 Squier at ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
3242
3243- Missing non-optional failover peer configurations will now result in a soft
3244 error rather than a null dereference.
3245
3246 Changes since 3.0.1rc9
3247
3248- A format string was corrected to fix compiler warnings.
3249
3250- A number of spelling corrections were made in the man pages.
3251
3252- The dhclient.conf.5 man page was changed to refer to do-forward-updates
3253 rather than a configuration option that doesn't exist.
3254
3255- A FreeBSD-specific bug in the interface removal handling was fixed.
3256
3257- A Linux-specific Token Ring detection problem was fixed.
3258
3259- Hashes removed from as-yet-unknown agent options, having those options
3260 appear in reality before we know about them will no longer produce
3261 self-corrupting lease databases.
3262
3263- dhclient will use the proper port numbers now when using the -g option.
3264
3265- A order-of-operations bug with 2 match clauses in 1 class statement is
3266 fixed thanks to a patch from Andrew Matheson.
3267
3268- Compilation problems on Solaris were fixed.
3269
3270- Compilation problems when built with DEBUG or DEBUG_PACKET were repaired.
3271
3272- A fix to the dhcp ack process which makes certain group options will be
3273 included in the first DHCPOFFER message was made thanks to a patch from
3274 Ling Gou.
3275
3276- A few memory leaks were repaired thanks to patches from Bill Squier at
3277 ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
3278
3279- A fix for shared-networks that sometimes give clients options for the
3280 wrong subnets (in particular, 'option routers') was applied, thanks to
3281 Ted Lemon for the patch.
3282
3283- Omshell's handling of dotted octets as values was changed such that dots
3284 one after the other produce zero values in the integer string.
3285
3286 Changes since 3.0.1rc8
3287
3288- Fix a format string vulnerability in the server that could lead to a
3289 remote root compromise (discovered by NGSEC Research Team, www.ngsec.com).
3290
3291- Add additional support for NetBSD/sparc64.
3292
3293- Fix a bug in the command-line parsing of the client. Also, resolve
3294 a memory leak.
3295
3296- Add better support for shells other than bash in the Linux client
3297 script.
3298
3299- Various build fixes for modern versions of FreeBSD and Linux.
3300
3301- Fix a bad bounds check when printing binding state names.
3302
3303- Clarify documentation about fixed-address and multiple addresses.
3304
3305- Fix a typo in the authoritative error message.
3306
3307- Make a log entry when we can't write a billing class.
3308
3309- Use conversion targets that are the right size on all architectures.
3310
3311- Increment the hop count when relaying.
3312
3313- Log a message when lease state is changed through OMAPI.
3314
3315- Don't rerun the shared_network when evaluating the pool.
3316
3317- Fix a reversed test in the parser.
3318
3319- Change the type of rbuf_max.
3320
3321- Make FTS_LAST a manifest constant to quiet warnings.
3322
3323 Changes since 3.0.1rc7
3324
3325- Fix two compiler warnings that are generated when compiling on Solaris
3326 with gcc. These stop the build, even though they weren't actually
3327 errors, because we prefer that our builds generate no warnings.
3328
3329 Changes since 3.0.1rc6
3330
3331- Don't allow a lease that's in the EXPIRED, RELEASED or RESET state
3332 to be renewed.
3333
3334- Implement lease stealing for cases where the primary has fewer leases
3335 than the secondary, as called for by the standard.
3336
3337- Add a fudge factor to the lease expiry acceptance code, (suggested
3338 by Kevin Miller of CMU).
3339
3340- Fix a bug in permit_list_match that made it much too willing to say
3341 that two permit lists matched.
3342
3343- Unless DEBUG_DNS_UPDATES is defined, print more user-friendly (and
3344 also more compact) messages about DNS updates.
3345
3346- Fix a bug in generating wire-format domain names for the FQDN option.
3347
3348- Fix a bug where the FQDN option would not be returned if the client
3349 requested it, contrary to the standard.
3350
3351- On Darwin, use the FreeBSD DHCP client script.
3352
3353- On NetBSD/sparc, don't check for casting warnings.
3354
3355- Add a flag in the DHCP client to disable updating the client's A
3356 record when sending an FQDN option indicating that the client is
3357 going to update its A record.
3358
3359- In the client, don't attempt a DNS update until one second after
3360 configuring the new IP address, and if the update times out, keep
3361 trying until a response, positive or negative, is received from the
3362 DNS server.
3363
3364- Fix an uninitialized memory bug in the DHCP client.
3365
3366- Apply some FreeBSD-specific bug fixes suggested by Murray Stokely.
3367
3368- Fix a bug in ns_parserr(), where it was returning the wrong sort
3369 of result code in some cases (suggested by Ben Harris of the
3370 NetBSD project).
3371
3372- Fix a bug in is_identifier(), where it was checking against EOF
3373 instead of the END_OF_FILE token (also suggested by Ben Harris).
3374
3375- Fix a bug where if an option universe contained no options, the
3376 DHCP server could dump core (Walter Steiner).
3377
3378- Fix a bug in the handling of encapsulated options.
3379
3380- Fix a bug that prevented NWIP suboptions from being processed.
3381
3382- Delete the FTS_BOOTP and FTS_RESERVED states and implement them
3383 as modifier flags to the FTS_ACTIVE state, as called for in the
3384 failover protocol standard.
3385
3386- Fix bugs in the pool merging code that resulted in references and
3387 dereferences of null pointers. This bug had no impact unless the
3388 POINTER_DEBUG flag was defined.
3389
3390- In the server, added a do-forward-updates flag that can be used to
3391 disable forward updates in all cases, so that sites that want the
3392 clients to take sole responsibility for updating their A record can
3393 do so.
3394
3395- Make it possible to disable optimization of PTR record updates.
3396
3397 Changes since 3.0.1rc5
3398
3399- Include some new documentation and changes provided by Karl Auer.
3400
3401- Add a workaround for some Lexmark printers that send a double-NUL-
3402 terminated host-name option, which would break DNS updates.
3403
3404- Fix an off-by-one error in the MAC-address checking code for
3405 DHCPRELEASE that was added in 3.0.1rc5.
3406
3407- Fix a bug where client-specific information was not being discarded
3408 from the lease when it expired or was released, resulting in
3409 problems if the lease was reallocated to a different client.
3410
3411- If more than one allocation pool is specified that has the same set
3412 of constraints as another allocation pool on the same shared
3413 network, merge the two pools.
3414
3415- Don't print an error in fallback_discard, since this just causes
3416 confusion and does not appear to be helping to encourage anyone to
3417 fix this bug.
3418
3419 Changes since 3.0.1rc4
3420
3421- Fix a bug that would cause the DHCP server to spin if asked to parse
3422 a certain kind of incorrect statement.
3423
3424- Fix a related bug that would prevent an error from being reported in
3425 the same case.
3426
3427- Additional documentation.
3428
3429- Make sure that the hardware address matches the lease when
3430 processing a DHCPRELEASE message.
3431
3432 Changes since 3.0.1rc3
3433
3434- A minor bug fix in the arguments to a logging function call.
3435- Documentation update for dhcpd.conf.
3436
adbef119 3437 Changes since 3.0.1rc2
98311e4b
DH
3438
3439- Allow the primary to send a POOLREQ message. This isn't what the current
3440 failover draft says to do, so we may have to back it out if I can't get the
3441 authors to relent, but the scheme for balancing that's specified in the
3442 current draft seems needlessly hairy, so I'm floating a trial balloon.
3443 The rc1 code did not implement the method described in the draft either.
3444
adbef119 3445 Changes since 3.0.1rc1
98311e4b
DH
3446
3447- Treat NXDOMAIN and NXRRSET as success when we are trying to delete a
3448 domain or RRSET. This allows the DHCP server to forget about a name
3449 it added to the DNS once it's been removed, even if the DHCP server
3450 wasn't the one that removed it.
3451
3452- Install defaults for failover maximum outstanding updates and maximum
3453 silent time. This prevents problems that might occur if these values
3454 were not configured.
3455
3456- Don't do DDNS deletes if ddns-update-style is none.
3457
3458- Return relay agent information options in DHCPNAK. This prevents DHCPNAK
3459 messages from being dropped when the relay agent information option contains
3460 routing information.
3461
3462- Fix a problem where coming up in recover wouldn't result in an update
3463 request being sent.
3464
3465- Add some more chatty messages when we start a recovery update and when it's
3466 done.
3467
3468- Fix a possible problem where some state might have been left around
3469 after the peer lost contact and regained contact about how many updates
3470 were pending.
3471
3472- Don't nix a lease update because of a lease conflict. This test has
3473 never (as far as I know) prevented a mistake, and it appears to cause
3474 problems with failover.
3475
3476- Add support in rc history code for keeping a selective history, rather
3477 than a history of all references and dereferences. This code is only used
3478 when extensive additional debugging is enabled.
3479
adbef119 3480 Changes since 3.0
98311e4b
DH
3481
3482- Make allocators for hash tables. As a side effect, this fixes a memory
3483 smash in the subclass allocation code.
3484
3485- Fix a small bug in omshell where if you try to close an object when
3486 no object is open, it dumps core.
3487
3488- Fix an obscure coredump that could occur on shutdown.
3489
3490- Fix a bug in the recording of host declaration rubouts in the lease file.
3491
3492- Fix two potential spins in the host deletion code.
3493
3494- Fix a core dump that would happen if an application tried to update
3495 a host object attribute with a null value.
3496
3497 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 12
3498
3499- Fix a memory leak in the evaluation code.
3500
3501- Fix an obscure core dump.
3502
3503- Print a couple of new warnings when parsing the configuration file
3504 when crucial information is left out.
3505
3506- Log "no free leases" as an error.
3507
3508- Documentation updates.
3509
3510 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 11
3511
3512- Always return a subnet selection option if one is sent.
3513
3514- Fix a warning that was being printed because an automatic data
3515 structure wasn't zeroed.
3516
3517- Fix some failover state transitions that were being handled
3518 incorrectly.
3519
3520- When supersede_lease is called on a lease whose end time has already
3521 expired, but for which a state transition has not yet been done, do
3522 a state transition. This fixes the case where if the secondary
3523 allocated a lease to a client and the lease "expired" while the
3524 secondary was in partner-down, no expiry event would actually
3525 happen, so the lease would remain active until the primary was
3526 restarted.
3527
3528 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 10
3529
3530- Fix a bug that was preventing released leases from changing state
3531 in failover-enabled pools.
3532
3533- Fix a core dump in the client identifier finder code (for host
3534 declarations).
3535
3536- Finish fixing a bug where bogus data would sometimes get logged to
3537 the dhclient.leases file because it was opened as descriptor 2.
3538
3539- Fix the Linux dhclient-script according to suggestions made by
3540 several people on the dhcp-client mailing list.
3541
3542- Log successful DNS updates at LOG_INFO, not LOG_ERROR.
3543
3544- Print an error message and refuse to run if a failover peer is
3545 defined but not referenced by any pools.
3546
3547- Correct a confusing error message in failover.
3548

d758ad8c
TL
3561 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8 Patchlevel 1
3562
3563- Fix a parsing bug that broke dns updates (both interim and ad-hoc).
3564 This was introduced in rc8pl1 as an unintended result of the memory
3565 leakage fixes that were in pl1.
3566
3567- Fix a long-standing bug where the server would record that an update
3568 had been done for a client with no name, even though no update had
3569 been done, and then when the client's lease expired the deletion of
3570 that nonexistant record would time out because the name was the null
9a111ee8 3571 string.
d758ad8c
TL
3572
3573- Clean up the omshell, dhcpctl and omapi man pages a bit.

3575 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8
3576
3577- Fix a bug that could cause the DHCP server to spin if
3578 one-lease-per-client was enabled.
3579
3580- Fix a bug that was causing core dumps on BSD/os in the presence of
3581 malformed packets.
3582
3583- In partner-down state, don't restrict lease lengths to MCLT.
3584
3585- On the failover secondary, record the MCLT received from the primary
3586 so that if we come up without a connection to the primary we don't
3587 wind up giving out zero-length leases.
3588
3589- Fix some compilation problems on BSD/os.
3590
3591- Fix a bunch of memory leaks.
3592
3593- Fix a couple of bugs in the option printer.
3594
3595- Fix an obscure error reporting bug in the dns update code, and also
3596 make the message clearer when a key algorithm isn't supported.
3597
3598- Fix a bug in the tracing code that prevented trace runs that used
3599 tcp connections from being played back.
3600
3601- Add some additional debugging capability for catching memory leaks
3602 on exit.
3603
3604- Make the client release the lease correctly on shutdown.
3605
3606- Add some configurability to the build system.
3607
3608- Install omshell manual page in man1, not man8.
3609
3610- Craig Gwydir sent in a patch that fixes a long-standing bug in the
3611 DHCP client that could cause core dumps, but that for some reason
3612 hadn't been noticed until now.
3613
3614 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 7
3615
3616- Fix a bug in failover where we weren't sending updates after a
3617 transition from communications-interrupted to normal.
3618
3619- Handle expired/released/reset -> free transition according to the
3620 protocol specification (this works - the other way not only wasn't
3621 conformant, but also didn't work).
3622
3623- Add a control object in both client and server that allows either
3624 daemon to be shut down cleanly.
3625
3626- When writing a lease, if we run out of disk space, shut down the
3627 output file and insist on writing a new one before proceeding.
3628
3629- In the server, if the OMAPI listener port is occupied, keep trying
3630 to get it, rather than simply giving up and exiting.
3631
3632- Support fetching variables from leases and also updating and adding
3633 variables to leases via OMAPI.
3634
3635- If two failover peers have wildly different clocks, refuse to start
3636 doing failover.
3637
3638- Fix a bug in the DNS update code that could cause core dumps when
3639 running on alpha processors.
3640
3641- Fixed a bug in ddns updates for static lease entries, thanks to a
3642 patch from Andrey M Linkevitch.
3643
3644- Add support for Darwin/MacOS X
3645
3646- Install omshell (including new documentation).
3647
3648- Support DNS updates in the client (this is a very obscure feature
3649 that most DHCP client users probably will not be able to use).
3650
3651- Somewhat cleaner status logging in the client.
3652
3653- Make OMAPI key naming syntax compatible with the way keys are
3654 actually named (key names are domain names).
3655
3656- Fix a bug in the lease file writer.
3657
3658- Install DHCP ISC headers in a different place than BIND 9 ISC
3659 headers, to avoid causing trouble in BIND 9 builds.
3660
3661- Don't send updates for attributes on an object when the attributes
3662 haven't changed. Support deleting attributes on remote objects.
3663
3664- Fix a number of bugs in omshell, and add the unset and refresh
3665 statements.
3666
3667- Handle disconnects in OMAPI a little bit more intelligently (so that
3668 the caller gets ECONNRESET instead of EINVAL).
3669
3670- Fix a bunch of bugs in the handling of clients that have existing
3671 leases when the try to renew their leases while failover is
3672 operating.
3673

TL
3674 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 6
3675
3676- Fix a core dump that could happen when processing a DHCPREQUEST from
3677 a client that had a host declaration that contained both a
3678 fixed-address declaration and a dhcp-client-identifier option
3679 declaration, if the client identifier was longer than nine bytes.
3680
3681- Fix a memory leak that could happen in certain obscure cases when
3682 using omapi to manipulate leases.
3683
3684- Fix some bugs and omissions in omshell.
3685

TL
3686 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 5
3687
3688- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that prevented objects in
3689 chains from having their reference counts decreased on dereference.
3690
3691- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that would prevent object
3692 chains from being freed upon removal of the last reference external
3693 to the chain.
3694
3695- Fix a number of other memory leaks in the OMAPI protocol subsystem.
3696
3697- Add code in the OMAPI protocol handler to trace memory leakage.
3698

3711 DHCPDECLINE.
3712
3713- Fix failover peer OMAPI support.
3714
3715- In failover, correctly handle expiration of leases. Previously,
3716 leases would never be reclaimed because they couldn't make the
3717 transition from EXPIRED to FREE.
3718
3719- Fix some broken failover state transitions.
3720
3721- Documentation fixes.
3722
3723- Take out an unnecessary check in DHCP relay agent information option
3724 stashing code that was preventing REBINDING clients from rebinding.
3725
3726- Prevent failover peers from allocating leases in DHCPREQUEST
3727 processing if the lease belongs to the other server.
3728
3729- Record server version in lease file introductory comment.
3730
3731- Correctly report connection errors in OMAPI and failover.
3732
3733- Make authentication signature algorithm name comparisons in OMAPI
3734 case-insensitive.
3735
3736- Fix compile problem on SunOS 4.x
3737
98311e4b 3738- If a signature algorithm is not terminated with '.', terminate it so
eaf0b302
TL
3739 that comparisons between fully-qualified names will work
3740 consistently.
3741
3742- Different SIOCGIFCONF probe code, may "fix" problem on some Linux
3743 systems with the probe not working correctly.
3744

3748
3749- Do lease billing on startup in a way that I *think* will finally do
3750 the billing correctly - the previous method could overbill as a
3751 result of duplicate leases.

3758 Herranz for figuring out the main problem.
3759

3761 core dumps.

3764 Friedrich.

3766- Fix a bug in lease billing, thanks to Jonas Bulow.
3767
3768 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 2
3769
3770- Change the conditions under which a DHCPRELEASE is actually
3771 committed to be consistent with lease binding states rather than
98311e4b 3772 using the lease end time. This may fix some problems with the
892fe689
TL
3773 billing class code.
3774
3775- Fix a bug where lease updates would fail on Digital Unix (and maybe
3776 others) because malloc was called with a size of zero.
3777
3778- Fix a core dump that happens when the DHCP server can't create its
3779 trace file.

79ea3de8 3781 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 1 Patchlevel 1
87784777 3782
79ea3de8
TL
3783- Fix the dhcp_failover_put_message to not attempt to allocate a
3784 zero-length buffer. Some versions of malloc() fail if you try to
3785 allocate a zero-length buffer, and this was causing problems on,
3786 e.g., Digital Unix.
3787
3788- Fix a case where the failover code was printing an error message
3789 when no error had occurred.
3790
3791- Fix a problem where when a server went down and back up again, the
3792 peer would not see a state transition and so would stay in the
3793 non-communicating state.
3794
3795- Be smart about going into recover_wait.
3796
3797- Fix a problem in the failover implementation where peers would fail
3798 to come into sync if interrupted in the RECOVER state. This could
3799 have been the cause of some problems people have reported recently.
3800
3801- Fix a problem with billing classes where they would not be unbilled
3802 when the client lease expired.
3803
3804- If select fails, figure out which descriptor is bad, and cut it out
3805 of the I/O loop. This prevents a potentially nasty spin. I
3806 haven't heard any report it in a while, but it came up consistently
3807 in testing.
3808
3809- Fix a bug in the relay agent where if you specified interfaces on
3810 the command line, it would fail.
3811
3812- Fix a couple of small bugs in the omapi connection object (no known
3813 user impact).
3814
3815- Add the missing 3.0 Beta 1 lease conversion script.
3816
3817- Read dhcp client script hooks if they exist, rather than only if
3818 they're executable.

3832 because of this bug. The bug should be straightforward to fix, so
3833 a new release candidate is expected shortly.

3859- Fix a bug in the DNS update code where a status code was not being
3860 checked. This may have been causing core dumps.
3861
3862- When parsing the lease file, if a lease declaration includes a
3863 billing class statement, and the lease already has a billing class,
3864 unbill the old class.
3865
3866- When processing failover transactions, where acks will be deferred,
3867 process the state transition immediately.
3868
3869- Don't try to use the new SIOCGIFCONF buffer size detection code on
3870 Linux 2.0, which doesn't provide this functionality.

3876- Fix a parse error in the client when setting up an omapi listener.
3877
3878- Document the -n and -g flags to the client.
3879
3880- Make sure there is always a stdin and stdout on startup. This
3881 prevents shell scripts from accidentally writing error messages into
3882 configuration files that happen to be opened as stderr.
3883
3884- If an interface is removed, the client will now notice that it is
3885 gone rather than spinning. This has only been tested on NetBSD.
3886
3887- The client will attempt to get an address even if it can't create a
3888 lease file.

3936 server (in theory). (Damien Neil)
3937
3938- Fix a case where if a client had two different leases the server could
3939 actually dereference the second one when it hadn't been referenced,
3940 leading to memory corruption and a core dump. (James Brister)
3941
3942- Fix a case where a client could request the address of another client's
3943 lease, but find_lease wouldn't detect that the other client had it, and
3944 would attempt to allocate it to the client, resulting in a lease conflict
3945 message.
3946
3947- Fix a case where a client with more than one client identifier could be
3948 given a lease where the hardware address was correct but the client
3949 identifier was not, resulting in a lease conflict message.
3950
98311e4b 3951- Fix a problem where the server could write out a colon-separated
3350f5b7
TL
3952 hex list as a value for a variable, which would then not parse.
3953 The fix is to always write strings as quoted strings, with any
3954 non-printable characters quoted as octal escape sequences. So
3955 a file written the old way still won't work, but new files written
3956 this way will work.

3961 break any configuration files that use the option-nnn convention.
3962 If you want to continue to use this convention for some options,
3963 please be sure to write a definition, like this:

3965 option option-nnn code nnn = string;

3970 DHCPREQUEST/DHCPACK/DHCPREQUEST/DHCPNAK sequence. This was the
3971 result of a deceptively silly bug in supersede_lease.

3986- Add support for transaction tracing. This allows the state of the
3987 DHCP server on startup, and all the subsequent transactions, to be
3988 recorded in a file which can then be played back to reproduce the
3989 behaviour of the DHCP server. This can be used to quickly
3990 reproduce bugs that cause core dumps or corruption, and also for
3991 tracking down memory leaks.
3992
3993- Incorporate some bug fixes provided by Joost Mulders for the DLPI
3994 package which should clear up problems people have been seeing on
3995 Solaris.
3996

3998 options, fqdn options and nwip options) that could cause memory
3999 corruption and core dumps.

4047- Finish fixing a long-standing bug in the agent options code. This
4048 was causing core dumps and failing to operate correctly - in
4049 particular, agent option stashing wasn't working. Agent option
4050 stashing should now be working, meaning that agent options can be
4051 used in class statements to control address allocation.
4052

4063 transmitting packets to the server. Handy for debugging; not much
4064 practical use otherwise.

4075- Work around the Win98 DHCP client, which NUL-terminates the FQDN
4076 option.

4078- Work around Win98 and Win2k clients that will claim they want to do
4079 the update even when they don't have any way to do it.
4080
4081- Fix some log messages that can be printed when failover is operating
4082 that were not printing enough information.
4083
4084- It was possible for a DHCPDISCOVER to get an allocation even when
4085 the state machine said the server shouldn't be responding.
4086
4087- Don't load balance DHCPREQUESTs from clients in RENEWING and
4088 REBINDING, since in RENEWING, if we heard it, it's for us, and in
4089 REBINDING, the client wouldn't have got to REBINDING if its primary
4090 were answering.

4103 decoder that would prevent any key with an 'x' in its base64
4104 representation from working correctly.
4105
4106- Thanks to Chris Cheney and Michael Sanders, we have a fix for the
4107 hang that they both spotted in the DHCP server - when
4108 one-lease-per-client was set, the code to release the "other" lease
4109 could spin.
4110
4111- Fix a problem with alignment of the input buffer in bpf in cases
4112 where two packets arrive in the same bpf read.
4113
4114- Fix a problem where the relay agent would crash if you specified an
4115 interface name on the command line.
4116
4117- Add the ability to conditionalize client behaviour based on the
4118 client state.
4119
4120- Add support for the FQDN option, and added support for a new way of
4121 doing ddns updates (ddns update style interim) that allows more than
4122 one DHCP server to update the DNS for the same network(s). This
4123 was implemented by Damien Neil with some additional functionality
4124 added by Ted Lemon.
4125
4126- Damien added a "log" statement, so that the configuration file can
4127 be made to log debugging information and other information.
4128
4129- Fixed a bug that caused option buffers not to be terminated with an
4130 end option.
4131
4132- Fixed a long-standing bug in the support for option spaces where the
4133 options are stored as an ordered list rather than in a hash table,
4134 which could theoretically result in memory pool corruption.
4135
4136- Prevent hardware declarations with no actual hardware address from
4137 being written as something unparsable, and behave correctly in the
4138 face of a null hardware address on input.
4139
4140- Allow key names to be FQDNs, and qualify the algorithm name if it is
4141 specified unqualified.
4142
4143- Modify the DDNS update code so that it never prints the "resolver
4144 failed" message, but instead says *why* the resolver failed.
4145

4147 RFC.

4209- Fix a possible DoS attack where a client could cause the checksummer
4210 to dump core. This was a read, not a write, so it shouldn't be
4211 possible to exploit it any further than that.
4212
4213- Implement client- and server-side support for using the Client FQDN
4214 option.
4215
4216- Support for other option spaces in the client has been added. This
4217 means that it is now possible to define a vendor option space on the
4218 client, request options in that space from the server (which must
4219 define the same option space), and then use those options in the
4220 client. This also allows NWIP and Client FQDN options to be used
4221 meaningfully.
4222
4223- Add object initializer support. This means that objects can now be
4224 initialized to something other than all-zeros when allocated, which
4225 makes, e.g., the interface object support code a little more robust.
4226
4227- Fix an off-by-one bug in the host stuffer. This was causing host
4228 deletes not the work, and may also have been causing OMAPI
4229 connections to get dropped. Thanks to James Brister for tracking
