DH
9ISC DHCP 4.2.x includes features that were not included in DHCP 4.1.x.
10These include:
37ec5845 11
98bf1607
SR
12Processing the DHCP to DNS server transactions in an asyncrhonous fashion.
13The DHCP server or client can now continue with it's processing while
14awaiting replies from the DNS server.
15
01a54c17
EH
16There are a number of DHCPv6 limitations and features missing in this
17release, which will be addressed in the future:
98bd7ca0 18
01a54c17 19- Only Solaris, Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD are supported.
3a16098f 20
adbef119
DH
21- DHCPv6 includes human-readable text in status code messages, in
22 English. A method to reconfigure or support other languages would
23 be preferrable.
98bd7ca0
DH
24
25- The "host-identifier" option is limited to a simple token.
26
98bd7ca0 27- The client and server can only operate DHCPv4 or DHCPv6 at a time,
45d545f0 28 not both. To use both protocols simultaneously, two instances of the
6de1f33e 29 relevant daemon are required, one with the '-6' command line option.

42 Changes since 4.2.0
43
44- Documentation cleanup covering multiple tickets
45 [ISC-Bugs #20265] [ISC-Bugs #20259] minor cleanup
46 [ISC-Bugs #20263] add text describing some default values
47 [ISC-Bugs #20193] single quotes at the start of a line indicate a control
48 line to nroff, escape them if we actually want a quote.
49 [ISC-Bugs #18916] sync the pointer to web pages amongst the different docs
50
524705e5
DH
51- 'get-host-names true;' now also works even if 'use-host-decl-names true;'
52 was also configured. The nature of this repair also fixes another
53 error; the host-name supplied by a client is no longer overridden by a
54 reverse lookup of the lease address. Thanks to a patch from Wilco Baan
55 Hofman supplied to us by the Debian package maintenance team.
56 [ISC-Bugs #21691] {Debian Bug#509445}
57
f07d0fb5
DH
58- The .TH tag for the dhcp-options manpage was typo repaired
59 thanks to a report from jidanni and the Debian package maintenance
60 team. [ISC-Bugs #21676] {Debian Bug#563613}
61
d6645f56
SR
62- More documentation changes - primarily to put the options in the dhclient
63 and dhcpd man pages into the standard form. Thanks in part to a patch
64 from David Cantrell at Red Hat.
65 [ISC-Bugs #20264] and parts of [ISC-Bugs #17744] dhclient.8 changes
66
4a5098e9
SR
67- Add code to clear the pointer to an object in an OMAPI handle when the
68 object is freed due to a dereference. [ISC-Bugs #21306]
69
ea75d544
DH
70- Fixed a bug that leaks host record references onto lease structures,
71 causing the server to apply configuration intended for one host to any
72 other innocent clients that come along later. [ISC-Bugs #22018]
73
66be0ad1
SR
74- Minor code fixes
75 [ISC-Bugs #19566] When trying to find the zone for a name for ddns allow
76 the name to be at the apex of the zone.
77 [ISC-Bugs #19617] Restrict length of interface name read from command line
78 in dhcpd - based on a patch from David Cantrell at Red Hat.
79 [ISC-Bugs #20039] Correct some error messages in dhcpd.c
80 [ISC-Bugs #20070] Better range check on values when creating a DHCID.
81 [ISC-Bugs #20198] Avoid writing past the end of the field when adding
82 overly long file or server names to a packet and add a log message
83 if the configuration supplied overly long names for these fields.
84 Thanks to Martin Pala.
85 [ISC-Bugs #21497] Add a little more randomness to rng seed in client
86 thanks to a patch from Jeremiah Jinno.
87
57fbc772
SR
88- Correct error handling in DLPI [ISC-Bugs #20378]
89
90- Remove __sun__ and __hpux__ typedefs in osdep.h as they are now being
91 checked in configure. [ISC-Bugs #20443]
92
93- Modify how the cmsg header is allocated the v6 send and received routines
94 to compile on more compilers. [ISC-Bugs #20524]
95
96- When parsing a domain name free the memory for the name after we are
97 done with it. [ISC-Bugs #20824]
98
197c917e
SR
99- Add an elapsed time option to the release message and refactor the
100 code to move most of the common code to a single routine.
101 [ISC-Bugs #21171].
102
8bd445a1
DH
103- Two identical log messages for commit_leases() have been disambiguated.
104 [ISC-Bugs #18915]
105
83d409ae
SR
106- Parse date strings more properly - the code now handles semi-colons in
107 date strings correctly. Thanks to a patch from Jiri Popelka at Red Hat.
108 [ISC-Bugs #21501, #20598]
109
6aaaf6a4
SR
110- Fixes to lease input and output.
111 [ISC-Bugs #20418] - Some systems don't support the "%s" argument to
112 strftime, paste together the same string using mktime instead.
113 [ISC-Bugs #19596] - When parsing iaid values accept printable
114 characters.
115 [ISC-Bugs #21585] - Always print time values in omshell as hex
116 instead of ascii if the values happen to be printable characters.
117
4e0997c6
SR
118- Minor changes for scripts, configure.ac and Makefiles
119 [ISC-Bugs #19147] Use domain-search instead of domain-name in manual and
120 example conf file. Thanks to a patch from David Cantrell
121 at Red Hat.
122 [ISC-Bugs #19761] Restore address when doing a rebind in DHCPv6
123 [ISC-Bugs #19945] Properly close the quote on some arguments.
124 [ISC-Bugs #20952] Add 64 bit types to configure.ac
125 [ISC-Bugs #21308] Add "PATH=" to CLIENT_PATH envrionment variable
126
ad59838e
SR
127- Update the code to parse dhcpv6 lease files to accept a semi-colon at
128 the end of the max-life and preferred-life clauses. In order to be
129 backwards compatible with older lease files not finding a semi-colon
130 is also accepted. [ISC-Bugs #22303].
131
4dc5a6b1
SR
132! Handle a relay forward message with an unspecified address in the
133 link address field. Previously such a message would cause the
f33dc722
SR
134 server to crash. Thanks to a report from John Gibbons. [ISC-Bugs #21992]
135 CERT: VU#102047 CVE: CVE-2010-3611
136
8d50c721
DH
137- ./configure on longer searches for -lcrypto to explicitly link against.
138 This fixes a bug where 'dhclient' would have shared library dependencies
139 on '/usr/lib'. [ISC-Bugs #21967]
4dc5a6b1 140
3004baba
SR
141- Handle pipe failures more gracefully. Some OSes pass a SIGPIPE
142 signal to a process and will kill the process if the signal isn't
143 caught. This patch adds code to turn off the SIGPIPE signal via
144 a setsockopt() call. The signal is already being ignored as part
145 of the ISC library. [ISC-Bugs #22269]
146
147
badc999d
SR
148 Changes since 4.2.0b2
149
150- Add declaration for variable in debug code in alloc.c. [ISC-Bugs #21472]
0d8c3d6e 151
1e05d095
SR
152 Changes since 4.2.0b1
153
d122accf
SR
154- Prohibit including lease time information in a response to a DHCP INFORM.
155 [ISC-Bugs #21092]
1e05d095 156
1943bbf8
SR
157! Accept a client id of length 0 while hashing. Previously the server would
158 exit if it attempted to hash a zero length client id, providing attackers
d122accf 159 with a simple denial of service attack. [ISC-Bugs #21253]
63ff896a 160 CERT: VU#541921 - CVE: CVE-2010-2156
1943bbf8 161
8a513c43
DH
162- A memory leak in ddns processing was closed. [ISC-Bugs #21377]
163
d122accf
SR
164- Modify the exception handling for initial context creation. Previously
165 we would try and clean up before exiting. This could present problems
166 when the cleanup required part of the context that wasn't available. It
167 also didn't do much as we exited afterwards anyway. Now we simply log
168 the error and exit. [ISC-Bugs #21093]
169
0d8c3d6e
DH
170- A bug was fixed that could cause the DHCPv6 server to advertise/assign a
171 previously allocated (active) lease to a client that has changed subnets,
172 despite being on different shared networks. Dynamic prefixes specifically
173 allocated in shared networks also now are not offered if the client has
174 moved. [ISC-Bugs #21152]
175
590298e7
SR
176- Add some debugging output for use with the DDNS code. [ISC-Bugs #20916]
177
600ee619 178- Fix the trace code to handle timing events better and to truncate a file
2b58b865
SR
179 before using instead of overwriting it. [ISC-Bugs #20969]
180
181- Modify the determination of the default TTL to use for DDNS updates.
182 The user may still configure the ttl via ddns-ttl. The default for
183 both v4 and v6 is now 1/2 the (preferred) lease time with a limit. The
184 previous defaults (1/2 lease time without a limit for v4 and a default
185 value for v6) may be used by defining USE_OLD_DDNS_TTL in site.h
186 [ISC-Bugs #21126]
600ee619 187
a5c7bf77
DH
188- libisc/libdns is now brought up to version 9.7.1rc1. This corrects
189 three reported flaws in ISC DHCP;
190
191 o DHCP processes (dhcpd, dhclient) fail to start if one of either the
192 IPv4 or IPv6 address families is not present. [ISC-Bugs #21122]
193
194 o Assertion failure when attempting to cancel a previously running DDNS
195 update. [ISC-Bugs #21133]
196
197 o Compilation failure of libisc/libdns due to the use of a flexible
198 array member. [ISC-Bugs #21316]
199
0585235c
SR
200 Changes since 4.2.0a2
201
202- Update the fsync code to work with the changes to the DDNS code. It now
203 uses a timer instead of noticing if there are no more packets to process.
204
f4bc8261
SR
205- When constructing the DNS name structure from a text string append
206 the root to relative names. This satisfies a requirement in the DNS
207 library that names be absolute instead of relative and prevents DHCP
d122accf 208 from crashing. [ISC-Bugs #21054]
f4bc8261 209
33692791
DH
210- "The LDAP Patch" that has been circulating for some time, written by
211 Brian Masney and S.Kalyanasundraram and maintained for application to
212 the DHCP-4 sources by David Cantrell has been included. Please be
213 advised that these sources were contributed, and do not yet meet the
214 high standards we place on production sources we include by default.
215 As a result, the LDAP features are only included by using a compile-time
216 option which defaults off, and if you enable it you do so under your
217 own recognizance. We will be improving this software over time.
218 [ISC-Bugs #17741]
219
3c941d42 220 Changes since 4.2.0a1
928618dd
DH
221
222- When using 'ignore client-updates;', the FQDN returned to the client
223 is no longer truncated to one octet.
224
3c941d42
DH
225- Cleaned up an unused hardware address variable in nak_lease().
226
bdd8e747
DH
227- Manpage entries for the ia-pd and ia-prefix options were updated to
228 reflect support for prefix delegation.
229
3da71461
SR
230- Cleaned up some compiler warnings
231
fdfebedf
DH
232- An optimization described in the failover protocol draft is now included,
233 which permits a DHCP server operating in communications-interrupted state
234 to 'rewind' a lease to the state most recently transmitted to its peer,
235 greatly increasing a server's endurance in communications-interrupted.
236 This is supported using a new 'rewind state' record on the dhcpd.leases
237 entry for each lease.
238
7aa153b8
SR
239- Fix the trace code which was broken by the changes to the DDNS code.
240
adbef119
DH
241 Changes since 4.1.0 (new features)
242
d340bc24
DH
243- Failover port configuration can now be left to defaults (port 647) as
244 described in the -12 revision of the Failover draft (and assigned by
4b97eaff 245 IANA). Thanks in part to a patch from David Cantrell at Red Hat.
adbef119 246
0829d595
DH
247- If configured, dhclient may now transmit to an anycast MAC address,
248 rather than using a broadcast address. Thanks to a patch from David
249 Cantrell at Red Hat.
250
8a3c1e33
PS
251- Added client support for setting interface MTU and metric, thanks to
252 Roy "UberLord" Marples <roy@marples.name>.
253
a41d7a25
PS
254- Added client -D option to specify DUID type to send.
255
9e3eb22a
DH
256- A new failover configuration parameter has been introduced for those
257 environments where DHCP servers can be reasonably guaranteed to be
258 "down" when the failover TCP socket is severed, "auto-partner-down".
259 This parameter is not generally safe, and by default is disabled, so
260 please carefully review the documentation of this parameter in the
261 dhcpd.conf(5) manpage before determining to use it yourself.
262
33ea4622
DH
263- Added a configuration function, 'gethostname()', which calls the system
264 function of the same name and presents the results as a data expression.
265 This function can be used to incorporate the system level hostname of
266 the system the DHCP software is operating on in responses or queries (such
267 as including a failover partner's hostname in a dhcp message or binding
268 scope, or having a DHCP client send any system hostname in the host-name or
269 FQDN options by default).
270
5a671e87
DH
271- The dhcp-renewal-time and dhcp-rebinding-time options may now be configured
272 for DHCPv4 operation and used independently of the dhcp-lease-time
273 calculations. Invalid renew and rebinding times (e.g., greater than the
274 determined lease time) are omitted.
275
98bf1607
SR
276- Processing the DHCP to DNS server transactions in an asyncrhonous fashion.
277 The DHCP server or client can now continue with it's processing while
278 awaiting replies from the DNS server.
c900c5b2
DH
279
280- The 'hardware [ethernet|etc] ...;' parameter in host records has been
281 extended to attempt to match DHCPv6 clients by the last octets of a
282 DUID-LL or DUID-LLT provided by the client.
283
59112e84
SR
284 Changes since 4.1.0 (bug fixes)
285
62f6843d
MA
286- Remove infinite loop in token_print_indent_concat().
287
59112e84
SR
288- Validate the argument to the -p option.
289
47e6eb82
DH
290- The notorious 'option <unknown> ... larger than buffer' log line,
291 which is seen in some malformed DHCP client packets, was modified.
292 It now logs the universe name, and does not log the length values
293 (which are bogus corruption read from the packet anyway). It also
294 carries a hopefully more useful explanation.
295
159c89d7
EH
296- Suppress spurious warnings from configure about --datarootdir
297
1aa0fe5e
DH
298- A bug was fixed that caused the server not to answer some valid Solicit
299 and Request packets, if the dynamic range covering any requested addresses
300 had been deleted from configuration.
301
cd51403d
SR
302- Update the code to deal with GCC 4.3. This included two sets of changes.
303 The first is to the configuration files to include the use of
571c38b0 304 AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS. The second is to deal with return values that
cd51403d
SR
305 were being ignored.
306
64e1823d
DH
307- The db-time-format option was documented in manpages.
308
26e59ee9
DH
309- Using reserved leases no longer results in 'lease with binding state
310 free not on its queue' error messages, thanks to a patch from Frode
311 Nordahl.
312
70ea9345
PS
313- Fix a build error in dhcrelay, using older versions of gcc with
314 dhcpv6 disabled.
315
8d7dca58 316- Two uninitialized stack structures are now memset to zero, thanks to a
4b97eaff 317 patch from David Cantrell at Red Hat.
819186b7 318
f4534b17
DH
319- Fixed a cosmetic bug where pretty-printing valid domain-search options would
320 result in an erroneous error log message ('garbage in format string').
321
f9453d21
DH
322- A bug in DLPI packet transmission (Solaris, HP/UX) that caused the server
323 to stop receiving packets is fixed. The same fix also means that the MAC
324 address will no longer appear 'bogus' on DLPI-based systems.
325
326- A bug in select handling was discovered where the results of one select()
327 call were discarded, causing the server to process the next select() call
328 and use more system calls than required. This has been repaired - the
329 sockets will be handled after the first return from select(), resulting in
330 fewer system calls.
331
a3dcc0b1
DH
332- The update-conflict-detection feature would leave an FQDN updated without
333 a DHCID (still currently implemented as a TXT RR). This would cause later
334 expiration or release events to fail to remove the domain name. The feature
335 now also inserts the client's up to date DHCID record, so records may safely
336 be removed at expiration or release time. Thanks to a patch submitted by
337 Christof Chen.
338
95fd7038
DH
339- Memory leak in the load_balance_mine() function is fixed. This would
340 leak ~20-30 octets per DHCPDISCOVER packet while failover was in use
341 and in normal state.
342
343- Various compilation fixes have been included for the memory related
344 DEBUG #defines in includes/site.h.
345
8a3c1e33
PS
346- Fixed Linux client script 'unary operator expected' errors with DHCPv6.
347
348- Fixed setting hostname in Linux hosts that require hostname argument
349 to be double-quoted. Also allow server-provided hostname to
350 override hostnames 'localhost' and '(none)'.
351
dedde1ba
DH
352- Fixed failover reconnection retry code to continue to retry to reconnect
353 rather than restarting the listener.
354
a57df74a
DH
355- Compilation on Solaris with USE_SOCKETS defined in includes/site.h has
356 been repaired. Other USE_ overrides should work better.
357
358- A check for the local flavor of IFNAMSIZ had a broken 'else' condition,
359 that probably still resulted in the correct behaviour (but wouldn't use
360 a larger defined value provided by the host OS).
361
350576c5
DH
362- Fixed a bug where an OMAPI socket disconnection message would not result
363 in scheduling a failover reconnection, if the link had not negotiated a
364 failover connect yet (e.g.: connection refused, asynch socket connect()
365 timeouts).
366
792156a9
DH
367- A bug was fixed that caused the 'conflict-done' state to fail to be parsed
368 in failover state records.
369
8a4e543b
DH
370! A stack overflow vulnerability was fixed in dhclient that could allow
371 remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands as root on the system,
372 or simply terminate the client, by providing an over-long subnet-mask
1b12d999 373 option. CERT VU#410676 - CVE-2009-0692
8a4e543b 374
a1308b64
DH
375- Fixed a bug where relay agent options would never be returned when
376 processing a DHCPINFORM.
377
1b12d999
DH
378- Versions 3.0.x syntax with multiple name->code option definitions is now
379 supported. Note that, similarly to 3.0.x, for by-code lookups only the
380 last option definition is used.
381
d453265f
PS
382- Fixed a bug where a time difference of greater than 60 seconds between a
383 failover pair could cause the primary to crash on contact with the
384 secondary. Thanks to a patch from Steinar Haug.
385
3e29af1e
PS
386- Don't look for IPv6 interfaces on Linux when running in DHCPv4 mode.
387 Thanks to patches from Matthew Newton and David Cantrell.
388
b8d45c67
DH
389- Secondary servers in a failover pair will now perform ddns removals if
390 they had performed ddns updates on a lease that is expiring, or was
391 released through the primary. As part of the same fix, stale binding scopes
392 will now be removed if a change in identity of a lease's active client is
393 detected, rather than simply if a lease is noticed to have expired (which it
394 may have expired without a failover server noticing in some situations).
395
583c1c16
DH
396- A patch supplied by David Cantrell at RedHat was applied that detects
397 invalid calling parameters given to the ns_name_ntop() function.
398 Specifically, it detects if the caller passed a pointer and size pair
399 that causes the pointer to integer-wrap past zero.
400
e4e3a2ab
DH
401! Fixed a fenceposting bug when a client had two host records configured,
402 one using 'uid' and the other using 'hardware ethernet'. CVE-2009-1892
95f5d38c 403
875e99dc
SR
404- Fixed the check in the dhcp_interface_signal_handler routine to verify
405 the existence of the linked signal handler before calling it.
406
2267da84
DH
407- Both host and subnet6 configuration groups are now included whether a
408 fixed-address6 (DHCPv6) is in use or not. Host scoped configuration takes

410 would not be included from a non-fixed-address6 host record, and the equal

418- Modified the handling of a connection to avoid releasing the omapi io
419 object for the connection while it is still in use. One symptom from
420 this error was a segfault when a failover secondary attempted to connect
421 to the failover primary if their clocks were not synchronized.

423- Clean up to allow compilation with gcc 2.95.4 on FreeBSD. Remove an
424 extra semi-colon from common/dns.c and moved setting a variable to NULL
425 in server/dhcpv6.c to allow the compiler to decide that the variable
426 was always properly set.

442 high frequency messages moved to a deeper debugging symbol.
443
444- The CLTT parameter in failover is now only updated by client activity,
445 and not by failover binding updates (taking on the peer's CLTT).

452- Delayed-ack is now a compile-time option, compiled out by default.
453 This feature is simply too experimental for right now, and causes
454 some problems to some failover installations. We will revisit this
455 in future releases.

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

7d6180be
DH
532- A bug in subnet6 parsing where options contained in subnet6 clauses would
533 not be applied to clients addressed within that network was repaired.
534
535- When configuring a "subnet {}" or "subnet6 {}" without an explicit
536 shared-network enclosing it, the DHCP software would synthesize a
537 shared-network to contain the subnet. However, all configuration
538 parameters within the subnet more intuitively belong "to any client
539 on that interface", or rather the synthesized shared-network. So,
540 when a shared-network is synthesized, it is used to contain the
541 configuration present inside the subnet {} clause. This means that
542 the configuration will be valid for all clients on that network, not
543 just those addressed out of the stated subnet. If you intended the
544 opposite, the workaround is to explicitly configure an empty
545 shared-network.
546
547- A bug was fixed where Information-Request processing was not sourcing
548 configured option values.

601- Timer granularity is now 1/100s in the DHCPv6 client.
602
01a54c17
EH
603- The dhclient-script was updated to create a host route for the default
604 gateway if the supplied subnet mask for an IPv4 address was a /32. This
605 allows the client to work in 'captive' network environments, where the
606 operator does not want clients to crosstalk directly.
607
608- MINUS tokens should be parseable again.
609
610- Multiple (up to "delayed-ack x;" maximum) DHCPv4 packets are now queued and
611 released in bursts after single fsync() events when the upper limit is
612 reached or if the receiving sockets go dry. The practical upshot is
613 that fsync-coupled server performance is now multiplicitively increased.
614 The default delayed ack limit is 28. Thanks entirely to a patch from
615 Christof Chen.

630 they were declared has been updated to be more helpful and identify the
631 typo in configuration that created the spanning addresses.
632
633- A bug in failover pool rebalancing that caused POOLREQ message ping-pongs
634 was repaired.

637 be sent outside of the min-balance/max-balance scheduled intervals has
638 been repaired.

641 'conflict-done' state message to be logged as 'unknown-state' has been
642 repaired. It is now logged correctly.
643

648 'address' parameter (the server's local address) did not resolve to an
649 IPv4 address.
650
2c9bf1f4
DH
651- The minimum site code value was set to 224 in 3.1.0 to track RFC3942. This
652 broke a lot of legacy site local configurations. The new code in place will
653 track site local space minimum option codes and logs a warning to encourage
654 updates and exploration of site local code migration problems. Option
655 codes less than 128 in site local spaces remain inaccessible.
656
657- A possible relay agent option bug was repaired where random server
658 initialization state may have been used to signal the relay agent
659 information options sub-option code for the 'END' of the option space.

57fcb8d9
SK
665- When server is configured with options that it overrides, a warning is
666 issued when the configuration file is read, rather than at the time the
667 option is overridden. This was important, because the warning was given
668 every time the option was overridden, which could create a lot of
669 unnecessary logging.
670
219a65eb

671- Fixed a compilation problems on platforms that define a value for FDDI,
672 which conflicts with a dhcp configuration syntax token by the same name.

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

699- dhc6_lease_destroy() and dhc6_ia_destroy() now set lease and IA pointers
700 to NULL after freeing, to prevent subsequent accesses to freed memory.
701
76db44f9
SK
702- The DHCPv6 server would not send the preference option unless the
703 client requested it, via the ORO. This has been fixed, so the DHCPv6
704 server will always send the preference value if it is configured.
e4a6be15 705
6f76de58
SK
706- When addresses were passed as hints to the server in an IA, they were
707 incorrectly handled, sometimes being treated as an error. Now the
708 server will treat these as hints and ignore them if it cannot supply
709 a requested address.
710
703873ab
DH
711- If the client had multiple addresses, and one expired (was not renewed
712 by the server), the client would continue to attempt to renew the same
713 old address over and over. Now, the client will omit any expired
714 addresses from future Confirm, Renew, or Rebind messages.
715
716- dhclient -6 will now select renew/rebind timers based upon the longest
717 address expiration time rather than the shortest expiration time, in
718 order to avoid cascading renewals in the event a server elects not to
719 extend one of multiple IAADDR leases.
720

722 address per IA by default, which can be adjusted through the
723 "limit-addrs-per-ia" configuration option.

823 follow the leases through their lifecycles. This enables DDNS teardowns
824 on leases that are assigned and expired inbetween a server restart (the

870- Invalid CIDR representation for IPv6 subnets or ranges now checked
871 for when loading configuration.

DH
873- Compilation on HP/UX has been repaired. The changes should generally
874 apply to any architecture that supplies SIOCGLIFCONF but does not
875 use 'struct lifconf' structures to pass values.
876
dd328225
DH
877- Two new operators, ~= and ~~, have been integrated to implement
878 boolean matches by regular expression (such as may be used in
879 class matching statements). Thanks to a patch by Alexandr S.
880 Agranovsky, which underwent slight modification.

76c944da
SK
882- Fix for icmp packets on 64-bit systems (bug introduced in 4.0).

884- A bug was fixed in interface discovery wherein an error identifying
885 a server-configured interface with no IPv4 addresses would SEGV.

887- Fixed a bug in which write_lease() might report a failure incorrectly
888
af5fa176
EH
889- Added support for DHCPv6 Release messages
890

892 to exit gracefully without releasing leases first
893
a546f2a7
EH
894- All binaries (client, server, relay) now change directories
895 to / before going into daemon mode, so as not to hold $CWD open

906- IPv6 subnets now have support for arbitrary allocation ranges via
907 a new 'range6' configuration directive.

a512d11b
DH
911- Corrected some situations where variables might be used without being
912 initialized.
913
914- Silenced several other compiler warnings.
915
916- Include the more standard sys/uio.h rather than rely upon other
f66f02cc
DH
917 header files to include it (fixes a BSD 4.2 compile failure).
918
919- Duplicate dhclient-script updates for DHCPv6 to all provided scripts.
a512d11b 920
4ba58919
DH
921- DHCPv4 I/O methods that failed to sense hardware address were corrected.
922
923- DHCPv4 is now the default (as documented) rather than DHCPv6. The default
924 was set to DHCPv6 to facilitate ease early development, and forgotten.
925
926- Corrected a segmentation violation in DHCPv4 socket processing.
927
8ea19a71 928- dhclient will now fork() into the background once it binds to an
45d545f0 929 IPv6 address, or immediately if the -n flag is supplied.
8ea19a71
DH
930
931- -q is now the default behaviour on dhclient, with -d or -v enabling
932 non-quiet (stderr logging) mode.

98bd7ca0
DH
940 Changes since 3.1.0 (NEW FEATURES)
941
942- DHCPv6 Client and Server protocol support. Use '-6' to run the daemons
943 as v6-only. Use '-4' to run the daemons as v4-only (default. There is
944 no support currently for both.
945
946- Server support for multiple IA_NA options, containing at most one
947 IAADDR option.
948
949- Client support for one IA_NA option, containing any number of IAADDR
950 options.
951
952- Server support for the DHCPv6 Information-request message.
953
954- Inappropriate unicast DHCPv6 messages sent to the server are now
955 discarded, and this has rearchitected the IO system slightly.
956
957- The DHCPv6 server DUID defaults to type 1, is persistently stored in
958 the leases database, and can be over-ridden (either completely, or by
959 specifying type 1 or type 2).
960
961- The server only uses Rapid-Commit if it has been configured with the
962 Rapid-Commit option and the client requests it.
963
964- DDNS support. We now update AAAA records in the same place we would
965 update A records, if we have an IPv6 address. We also generate IP6.ARPA
966 style names for PTR records if we're dealing with an IPv6 address. Both
967 A and AAAA updates are done using the same 'fqdn.' virtual option space
968 (although the DHCPv4 FQDN and DHCPv6 FQDN options are formatted
969 differently, they both use the same code here).
970
971- The Linux dhclient-script attempts to set and remove assigned addresses,
972 and to configure /etc/resolv.conf from nameserver and domain name
973 configurations. It can be extended to configure other parameters.
974
975- Initial DHCPv6 lease support.
976
977- The IO system now tracks all local IP addresses, so that the DHCP
978 applications (particularly the dhcrelay) can discern between what frames
979 were transmitted to it, and what frames are being carried through it which
980 it should not intercept.
981

DH
982 Changes since 3.1.0 (Maintenance)
983
984- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for virgin leases always
985 mapped to the primary. Virgin leases now have an interleaved preference
986 between primary and secondary.
987
988- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for clients with no client
989 identifier was sometimes mishashed to the peer. Load balancing during
990 runtime and pool rebalancing were opposing.
991
aa3e348e
DH
992- An assertion in lease counting relating to reserved leases was repaired.
993
e9c59645
DH
994- The subnet-mask option inclusion now conforms with RFC2132 section 3.3;
995 it will only appear prior to the routers option if it is present on the
996 Parameter-Request-List. The subnet-mask option will also only be
997 included by default (if it is not on the PRL) in response to DISCOVER
998 or REQUEST messages.
999
1000- The FQDN option is only supplied if the client supplied an FQDN option or
1001 if the FQDN option was explicitly requested on the PRL.
1002
c104546d
DH
1003- Dynamic BOOTP leases are now load balanced in failover.

a512cc3a
DH
1010 Changes since 3.1.0b2
1011
1012- Failover rebalance events no longer play ping pong with round errors
1013 (moving leases between free and back to backup where there are an
1014 odd number of leases).
1015
1016- The 'pool' log line has been split into two messages, one before the
1017 rebalance run, and one after.
1018
1019- Any queued BNDACKs are transmitted before transmitting new BNDUPDs.
1020 This enforces the correct sequence of events for the remote server
1021 processing these messages.
1022
fe5b0fdd 1023 Changes since 3.1.0b1
27837f95 1024

EH
1025- Fixed a bug that caused OMAPI clients to freeze when opening lease
1026 objects.
1027
1ba87b37
EH
1028- A new server config option "fqdn-reply" specifies whether the server
1029 should send out option 81 (FQDN). Defaults to "on". If set to "off",
1030 the FQDN option is not sent, even if the client requested it. This is
1031 needed because some clients misbehave otherwise. Thanks to Christof Chen
1032 at Allianz.
1033
a58da042
EH
1034- Allow trace output files (-tf option) to be overwritten, rather than
1035 crashing dhcpd if the file already exists
1036
61252edf
EH
1037- A bug was fixed that caused dhcpd to segfault if a pool was declared
1038 outside the scope of a subnet in dhcpd.conf.

27837f95
DH
1040- Some uninitialized values were repaired in dhcpleasequery.c that
1041 caused the server to abort.
1042
4d2eaafb
DH
1043- A new server config option, 'do-reverse-updates', has been added
1044 which causes the server to abstain from performing updates on PTR
1045 records. Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen at Allianz.
1046
06211b40
DH
1047- A bug was repaired in subencapsulation support, where spaces separated
1048 by empty spaces would not get included.
1049
d6614ea2
DH
1050- A bug in dhclient was repaired which caused it to send parameter request
1051 lists of 55 bytes in length no matter how long the declared PRL was.
1052
132d38f2
DH
1053- 'dhcp.c(3953): non-null pointer' has been repaired. This fixes a flaw
1054 wherein the DHCPv4 server may ignore a configured server-identifier.

fc3b9c90
DH

1057 the primary DHCP server's pool rebalance schedules unscheduled.

c9feb859
DH
1059- Corrected a flaw that broke encapsulated spaces included due to presence
1060 on the parameter request list.

1071- A bug was fixed in dhclient rendering the textual output form of the
1072 domain-search option syntax.

DH
1074 Changes since 3.1.0a1
1075
1076- A bug in the FQDN universe that added FQDN codes to the NWIP universe's
1077 hash table was repaired.
1078
616d67cb
DH
1079- The servers now try harder to transmit pending binding updates when
1080 entering normal state.
1081
1082- UPDREQ/UPDREQALL handling was optimized - it no longer dequeues and
1083 requeues all pending updates. This should reduce the number of spurious
66c8f734
DH
1084 'xid mismatch' log messages.
1085
1086- An option definition referencing leak was fixed, which resulted in early
1087 termination of dhclient upon the renewal event.
616d67cb 1088
6708d944
DH
1089- Some default hash table sizes were tweaked, some upwards, some downwards.
1090 3.1.0a1's tables resulted in a reduction in default server memory use.
1091 The new selected values provide more of a zero sum (increasing the size
1092 of tables likely to be populated, decreasing the size of tables unlikely).
1093
45d545f0 1094- Lease structures appear in three separate hashes: by IP address, by UID,
6708d944
DH
1095 and by hardware address. One type of table was used for all three, and
1096 improvements to IP address hashing were applied to all three (so UID and
1097 hardware addresses were treated like 4-byte integers). There are now two
1098 types of tables, and the uid/hw hashes use functions more appropriate
1099 to their needs.
1100
1101- The max-lease-misbalance percentage no longer causes scheduled rebalance
1102 runs to be skipped: it still governs the schedule, but every scheduled
1103 run will attempt balance.
1104
a7ee93fe
DH
1105- A segfault bug in recursive encapsulation support has been corrected.
1106
98311e4b
DH
1107 Changes since 3.0 (New Features)
1108
1109- A workaround for certain STSN servers that send a mangled domain-name
1110 option was introduced for dhclient. The client will now accept corrupted
1111 server responses, if they contain a valid DHCP_MESSAGE_TYPE (OFFER, ACK,
1112 or NAK). The server will continue to not accept corrupt client packets.
1113
98bd7ca0 1114- Support for 'reserved' (pseudo-static) and BOOTP leases via failover
a55ccdd0 1115 was introduced.
98311e4b
DH
1116
1117- Support for adding, removing, and managing class and subclass statements
1118 via OMAPI.
1119
a55ccdd0
DH
1120- The failover implementation was updated to comply with revision 12 of
1121 the protocol draft.
1122
98311e4b
DH
1123- 'make install' now creates the initial zero-length dhcpd.leases file if
1124 one does not already exist on the system.
1125
b43c87ad 1126- RFC3942 compliance, site-local option spaces start at 224 now, not 128.
b43c87ad 1127
0b17f049
DH
1128- The Load Balance Algorithm was misimplemented. The current implementation
1129 matches RFC 3074.
1130
2727c1cf
DH
1131- lcase() and ucase() configuration expressions have been added which adjust
1132 their arguments from upper to lower and lower to upper cases respectively.
2714a8ef 1133 Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
2727c1cf 1134
febbd402
DH
1135- The dhclient 'reject ...;' statement, which rejects leases given by named
1136 server-identifiers, now permits address ranges to be specified in CIDR
7d7073e7 1137 notation. Thanks to a patch from David Boyce.
febbd402 1138
ee912528
DH
1139- The subnet-mask option is now supplied by default, but at lowest
1140 priority. This helps a small minority of clients that provide parameter
1141 request lists, but do not list the subnet-mask option because they were
1142 designed to interoperate with a server that behaves in this manner.
1143
1144- The FQDN option is similarly supplied even if it does not appear on the
1145 parameter request list, but not to the exclusion of options that do
1146 appear at the parameter request list. Up until now it had ultimate
1147 priority over the client's parameter request list.
1148
f7fdb216 1149- Varying option space code and length bit widths (8/16/32) are now
51202707 1150 supported. This is a milestone in achieving RFC 3925 "VIVSO" and
f7fdb216
DH
1151 DHCPv6 support.
1152
5e864416
DH
1153- A new common (server or client) option, 'db-time-format local;', has
1154 been added which prints the local time in /var/db/dhcpd.leases rather
1155 than UTC. Thanks to a patch from Ken Lalonde.
1156
b500bd4c
DH
1157- Some patches to improve DHCP Server startup speed from Andrew Matheson
1158 have been incorporated.
1159
2426234f
DH
1160- Failover pairs now implement 'MAC Affinity' on leases moving from the
1161 active to free states. Leases that belonged to the failover secondary
1162 are moved to BACKUP state rather than FREE upon exiting EXPIRED state.
1163 If lease rebalancing must move leases, it tries first to move leases
1164 that belong to the peer in need.
1165
1166- The server no longer sends POOLREQ messages unless the pool is severely
1167 misbalanced in the peer's favor (see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more details).
1168
1169- Pool rebalance events no longer happen upon successfully allocating a
1170 lease. Instead, they happen on a schedule. See 'man dhcpd.conf' for the
1171 min-balance and max-balance statements for more information.
1172
334bf491
DH
1173- The DHCP Relay Agent Information Option / Link Selection Sub-Option
1174 is now supported. (See RFC3527 for details).
1175
3004bebf
DH
1176- A new DDNS related server option, update-conflict-detection, has been
1177 added. If this option is enabled, dhcpd will perform normal DHCID
1178 conflict resolution (the default). If this option is disabled, it will
1179 instead trust the assigned name implicitly (removing any other bindings
1180 on that name). This option has not been made available in dhclient.
1181
567e8561
DH
1182- In those cases where the DHCP software manufactures an IP header (to
1183 transmit via bpf, lpf, etc), the IP TTL the software selects has been
1184 increased from 16 to 128. This is intended to match Microsoft Windows
1185 DHCP Client behaviour, to increase compatibility.
1186
a396d25f
DH
1187- 'ignore client-updates;' now has behaviour that is different from
1188 'deny client-updates;'. The client's request is not truly ignored,
1189 rather it is encouraged. Should this value be configured, the server
1190 updates DNS as though client-updates were set to 'deny'. That is, it
1191 enters into DNS whatever it is configured to do already, provided it is
1192 configured to. Then it sends a response to the client that lets the
1193 client believe it is performing client updates (which it will), probably
1194 for a different name. In essence, this lets the client do as it will,
1195 ignoring this aspect of their request.
1196
dba5803b
DH
1197- Support for compressed 'domain name list' style DHCP option contents, and
1198 in particular the domain search option (#119) was added.
1199
41e45067 1200- The DHCP LEASEQUERY protocol as defined in RFC4388 is now implemented.
6d103865
SK
1201 LEASEQUERY lets you query the DHCP server for information about a lease,
1202 using either an IP address, MAC address, or client identifier. Thanks
1203 to a patch from Justin Haddad.
1204
41e45067
DH
1205- DHCPD is now RFC2131 section 4.1 compliant (broadcast to all-ones ip and
1206 ethernet mac address) on the SCO platform specifically without any strange
1207 ifconfig hacks. Many thanks go to the Kroger Co. for donating the
1208 hardware and funding the development.
6d103865 1209
b543fea9
DH
1210- A new common configuration executable statement, execute(), has been
1211 added. This permits dhcpd or dhclient to execute a named external
1212 program with command line arguments specified from other configuration
1213 language. Thanks to a patch written by Mattias Ronnblom, gotten to us
1214 via Robin Breathe.
1215
b22de500
DH
1216- A new dhcp server option 'adaptive-lease-time-threshold' has been added
1217 which causes the server to substantially reduce lease-times if there are
1218 few (configured percentage) remaining leases. Thanks to a patch submitted
1219 from Christof Chen.
1220
96bbe8c5
SK
1221- Encapsulated option spaces within encapsulated option spaces is now
1222 formally supported.
1223
b8221d95
DH
1224 Changes since 3.0.6rc1
1225
1226- supersede_lease() now requeues leases in their respective hardware
1227 address hash bucket. This mirrors client identifier behaviour.
1228
c1e6c832
DH
1229 Changes since 3.0.5
1230
f546c28b
DH
1231- Assorted fixes for broken network devices: Packet length is now
1232 determined from the IP header length field to finally calculate the
1233 UDP payload length, because some NIC drivers return more data than
5a22eb63 1234 they actually received.
f546c28b
DH
1235
1236- UDP packets are now stored in aligned data structures.
1237
c1e6c832
DH
1238- A logic error in omapi interface code was repaired that might result in
1239 incorrectly indicating 'up' state when any flags were set, rather than
23e10d37
DH
1240 specifically the INTERFACE_REQUESTED flag. Thanks to a patch from
1241 Jochen Voss which got to us via Andrew Pollock at Debian.
c1e6c832 1242
75ab3070
DH
1243- A reference leak on binding scopes set by ddns updates was repaired.
1244
d69fb6a8 1245- A memory leak in the minires_nsendsigned() function call was repaired.
23e10d37 1246 Effectively, this leaked ~176 bytes per DDNS update.
d69fb6a8 1247
02428754
DH
1248- In the case where an "L2" DHCP Relay Agent (one that does not set giaddr)
1249 was directly attached to the same broadcast domain as the DHCP server,
1250 the RFC3046 relay agent information option was not being returned to the
1251 relay in the server's replies. This was fixed; the dhcp server no longer
1252 requires the giaddr to reply with relay agent information. Note that
1253 this also improves compatibility with L2 devices that "intercept" DHCP
1254 packets and expect relay agent information even in unicast (renewal)
23e10d37
DH
1255 replies. Thanks to a patch from Pekka Silvonen.
1256
1257- A bug was fixed where the BOOTP header 'sname' field had a value, the
1258 copy written to persistent storage was actually the contents of the
1259 'file' field.
02428754 1260
ecde99a3
DH
1261- A bug was fixed where the nwip virtual option space was referencing
1262 the fqdn option's virtual option space's option cache.
1263
67674ffb
DH
1264- Timestamp parsing errors that indicated missing "minutes" fields rather
1265 than the actually missing "seconds" fields have been repaired thanks to
1266 a patch from Kevin Steves.
1267
830ebc4c
DH
1268- A grammar error in the dhclient.8 manpage was repaired thanks to a patch
1269 from Chris Wagner.
1270
c759db75
DH
1271- Several spelling typos were repaired, and some cross-references to other
1272 relevant documents were included in the manpages, thanks to a patch
1273 by Andrew Pollock which got to us via Tomas Pospisek.
1274
9aa3f3a5
DH
1275- Some bugs were fixed in the 'emergency relay agent options hologram'
1276 which is used to retain relay agent option contents from when the
1277 client was in INIT or REBIND states. This should solve problems where
1278 relay agent options were not echoed from the server, even when giaddr
1279 was set.
1280
3d0c598a
DH
1281- dhclient now closes its descriptor to dhclient.leases prior to executing
1282 dhclient-script. Thanks to a patch from Tomas Pospisek.
1283
d5b6835f
DH
1284- The server's "by client-id" and "by hardware address" hash table lists
1285 are now sorted according to the preference to re-allocate that lease to
1286 returning clients. This should eliminate pool starvation problems
1287 arising when "INIT" clients were given new leases rather than presently
1288 active ones.
1289
02428754 1290 Changes since 3.0.5rc1
0a73b7b6 1291
901306d5 1292- A bug was repaired in fixes to the dhclient, which sought to run the
0a73b7b6
SK
1293 dhclient-script with the 'EXPIRE' state should it receive a NAK in
1294 response to a REQUEST. The client now iterates the PREINIT state
1295 after the EXPIRE state, so that interfaces that might be configured
1296 'down' can be brought back 'up' and initialized.
1297
87a08ccc
DH
1298- DHCPINFORM handling for clients that properly set ciaddr and come to the
1299 server via a relay aget has been repaired.
1300
6da113fb
DH
1301 Changes since 3.0.4
1302
1303- A warning that host statements declared within subnet or shared-network
1304 scopes are actually global has been added.
1305
1306- The default minimum lease time (if min-lease-time was not specified)
1307 was raised from 0 to 300. 0 is not thought to be sensible, and is
1308 known to be damaging.
1309
1310- Added additional fatal error sanity checks surrounding lease binding
1311 state count calculations (free/active counts used for failover pool
1312 balancing).
1313
dcc557db
DH
1314- Some time value size fixes in 3.0.4 brought on from FreeBSD /usr/ports were
1315 misapplied to server values rather than client values. The server no longer
1316 advertises 8-byte lease-time options when on 64-bit platforms.
1317
1b2ab55f
DH
1318- A bug where leases not in ACTIVE state would get billed to billed classes
1319 (classes with lease limitations) was fixed. Non-active leases OFFERed
1320 to clients are no longer billed (but billing is checked before offering).
1321
e48891e8
DH
1322- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated in regard to the ddns-domainname
1323 configuration option - the default configuration and results should be
1324 more clear now.
1325
6cbc6629
DH
1326- If the dhclient were to receive a DHCPNAK while it was in the RENEW
1327 state (and consequently, had an active, 'bound' address and related
1328 configuration options), it would fail to 'tear down' this information
1329 before proceeding into INIT state. dhclient now iterates the dhclient-
1330 script with the 'EXPIRE' action to cause these teardowns prior to entering
1d3bfb17 1331 INIT state. Thanks to a patch from Chris Zimmerman.
6cbc6629 1332
c5fec5fa
DH
1333- The omapi.1 manpage had some formatting errors repaired thanks to a patch
1334 from Yoshihiko Sarumaru.
1335
33e1cb2b
DH
1336- A few lines of code that were failover-specific were moved within
1337 #if defined() clauses so that compilation without failover could be
1338 made possible.
1339
2bddf829
DH
1340- The log message emitted when the 'leased-address' value was not available
1341 in dhcpd.conf "executable statements" has been updated to be more helpful.
1342 Manpage information for this value has also been updated.
1343
87578987
DH
1344- Abandoned or dissociated (err condition) leases now remove any related
1345 dynamic dns bindings. Thanks to a patch from Patrick Schoo.
1346
e77c575f
DH
1347- Attempting to write a new lease file to replace a corrupt (due to
1348 encountering non-retryable errors during writing) lease file should
1349 no longer result in an infinite recursion.
1350
2178df03
DH
1351- Host declaration hardware addresses and client identifiers may only be
1352 configured once. dhcpd will now fail to load config files that specify
1353 multiple identifiers (previous versions would silently over-ride the
1354 value with the later configured value).
1355
d5341d9b
SK
1356- Several option codes that have been allocated since our last release
1357 have been named and documented.
1358
1359- Option names of the form "unknown-123" have been removed from the in-
1360 memory hash tables. In order to support options of these names that
1361 may appear in dhclient.leases or similar in previous versions, the
1362 parser will now find the new option code definition, or mock up a
1363 generic option code definition. This should result in a smooth
1364 transition from one name to the other, as the new name is used to
1365 write new output.
1366
6da113fb
DH
1367 Changes since 3.0.4rc1
1368
1369- The dhcp-options.5 manpage was updated to correct indentation errors
1370 thanks to a patch from Jean Delvare.
1371
1372 Changes since 3.0.4b3
1373
1374- Some manual pages were clarified pursuant to discussion on the dhcp-server
1375 mailing list.
1376
88cd8aca
DH
1377 Changes since 3.0.4b2
1378
45d545f0 1379- Null-termination sensing for certain clients that unfortunately require
88cd8aca
DH
1380 it in DHCPINFORM processing was repaired.
1381
1382- The host-name option and a few others were moved from "X" format to "t"
1383 format to be compatible with new NULL handling functions.
1384
1385- DHCPINFORM processing is a little more careful about return addressing
1386 its responses, or if responding via a relay. The INFORM related
1387 messages also log the 'effective client ip address' rather than the
1388 client's supplied ciaddr (since some clients produce null ciaddrs).
1389
1390- The server was inappropriately sending leases to the RESET state in the
1391 event that multiple active leases were found to match a singly-identified
1392 client. This was changed to RELEASED (by accepting a different, ACTIVE
1393 binding, the client is implicitly releasing its lease). This repairs a
1394 bug wherein secondary servers in failover pairs detecting this condition
1395 move leases to RESET, and primaries refuse to accept that state
1396 transition (properly).
1397
1398- The memset-after-dmalloc() changes made in 3.0.4b1 have been backed out.
1399
1400 Changes since 3.0.4b1
1401
1402- Command line parsing in omshell was repaired - it no longer closes
1403 STDIN after reading one line.
1404
1405- The resolver library no longer closes the /etc/resolv.conf file
1406 descriptor it opened twice.
1407
1408- Changes to trailing NULL removal in 't' option-atoms has been rethought,
1409 it now includes 'd' (domain name) types, and tries hard not to rewind an
1410 option beyond the start of the text field it is un-terminating.
1411
1412 Changes since 3.0.3
1413
1414- A DDNS update handling function was misusing the DNS error codes, rather
1415 than the internal generic result enumeration. The result is a confusing
1416 syslog line, logging the wrong condition.
1417
1418- The DHCP Server was not checking pool balance in the case where it brought
1419 a non-ACTIVE lease out of storage for a client that was returning to use
1420 a lease it once had long ago, and had since expired.
1421
1422- Failover peers no longer bother to look for free leases to allocate when
1423 they already found the client's ACTIVE lease. DISCOVERs are load balanced
98bd7ca0 1424 whether freely-allocated or not, unless the server doubts the peer has
88cd8aca
DH
1425 leases to allocate.
1426
1427- Fixed a bug in dhcrelay agent addition code that suppressed trailing
45d545f0 1428 PAD options - it was suppressing only one trailing PAD option, rather
88cd8aca
DH
1429 than the entire block of them.
1430
3a16098f
DH
1431! Fixed some unlikely overlapping-region memcpy() bugs in dhcrelay agent
1432 option addition and stripping code. Added a few sanity checks. Although
1433 highly improbable, due to requiring the reception of a DHCP datagram well
1434 in excess of all known to be used physical MTU limitations, it is possible
1435 this may have been used in a stack overflow security vulnerability. Thanks
1436 to a patch from infamous42md.
1437
1438! Added some sanity checks to OMAPI connection/authentication code.
1439 Although highly improbable, due to having to deliver in excess of 2^32
1440 bytes of data via the OMAPI channel, not to mention requiring dhcpd to
1441 be able to malloc() a memory region 2^32 bytes in size, it was possible
1442 this might have resulted in a heap overflow security vulnerability.
1443 Thanks to a patch from infamous42md.
88cd8aca
DH
1444
1445- dmalloc() memset()'s the non-debug (data) portion of the allocated
1446 memory to zero. Code that memset()'s the result returned by dmalloc() to
1447 zero is redundant. These redundancies were removed.
1448
1449- Some type declaration corrections to u_int16_t were made in common/tr.c
4b97eaff 1450 (Token Ring support) thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
88cd8aca
DH
1451
1452- A failover bug that was allowing leases that EXPIRED or were RELEASED
1453 where tsfp and tstp are identical timestamps to languish in these
1454 transitional states has been repaired. As a side effect, lease
1455 databases should be kept more consistent overall, not just for these
1456 transitional states.
1457
1458- If the lease db is deleted out from under the daemon, and it moves to rewrite
1459 the db, it will go ahead with the operation and move the new db into place
1460 once it detects the old db does not exist.
1461
1462- dhclient now ignores IRDA, SIT, and IEEE1394 network interfaces, as it
1463 is either nonsensical or (in the case of IEEE1394) is not known to support
1464 these interfaces. Thanks to Marius Gedminas and Andrew Pollock of Debian.
1465
1466- Some previously undocumented reasons for dhclient-script invoking has
45d545f0 1467 been documented in the dhclient-script.8 manpage.
88cd8aca
DH
1468
1469- Failover potential expiry calculations (TSTP) have been corrected. Results
1470 should be substantially more consistent, and proper given the constraints.
1471
1472- Adjusted lease state validation checks in potential-conflict, to
1473 account for possible clock skew similarly to normal state, and several
1474 previously illegal transitions were made legal (ex: active->released).
1475
1476- An impossible sanity check was removed from omapi/buffer.c, thanks to a
1477 patch from 'infamous42md'.
1478
1479- An OMAPI host/network byte order problem in lease time values has been
1480 repaired.
1481
1482- Several minor bugs, largely relating to treating 8-byte time values as
1483 4-byte entities, have been repaired after careful review of the FreeBSD
1484 ports collection's patch set. Thanks to the nameless entities who have
1485 contributed to the FreeBSD ports.
1486
1487- When writing a trace file, the file is now created with permissions 0600,
1488 to help administrators avoid accidentally publicising sensitive config
1489 data.
1490
1491- The calculation of the maximum size of DHCP packets no longer includes
1492 Ethernet framing overhead. The result is that the 'Maximum Message
1493 Size' option advertised by clients, or the default value 576, is no
1494 longer reduced by 14 bytes, and instead directly reflects the IP level
1495 MTU (and the default, minimum allowed IP MTU of 576).
1496
1497- The special status of RELEASED/EXPIRED/RESET leases when a server
1498 is operating in partner-down was fixed. It no longer requires a
1499 lease be twice the MCLT beyond STOS to 'reallocate', and the expiry
1500 event to turn these into FREE leases without peer acknowledgement
1501 (after STOS+MCLT) has been repaired.
1502
1503- Compilation on older Solaris systems (lacking /usr/include/sys/int_types.h)
1504 has been repaired.
1505
1506- "append"ing a string onto the end of a "t" type option (such as the
1507 domain-name field) that had been improperly NULL-terminated by the
1508 DHCP server will no longer result in a truncated string containing
1509 only the option from the server, and not the expected appended value.
4b97eaff 1510 Thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
88cd8aca
DH
1511
1512- File handlers on configuration state (config files and lease dbs) should
98bd7ca0 1513 be treated consistently, regardless of whether TRACING is defined or not.
88cd8aca 1514
45d545f0 1515- The Linux build environment has had some minor improvements - better
88cd8aca
DH
1516 sensing of 64-bit pointer sizes (only used for establishing an icmp_id),
1517 and corrections to #if operators regarding LINUX_MAJOR should it ever
1518 move to 3.[01].x.
1519
1520- The server now tries harder to survive the condition where it is unable
1521 to open a new lease file to rewrite the lease state database.
1522
c75473d8
DH
1523 Changes since 3.0.3b3
1524
1525- dhclient.conf documentation for interface {} was updated to reflect recent
1526 discussion on the dhcp-hackers mailing list.
1527
1528- In response to reports that the software does not compile on GCC 4.0.0,
1529 -Werror was removed from Makefile.conf for all platforms that used it.
1530 We will address the true problem in a future release; this is a temporary
1531 workaround.
1532
1533 Changes since 3.0.3b2
1534
1535- An error in code changes introduced in 3.0.3b2 was corrected, which caused
1536 static BOOTP clients to receive random addresses.
1537
1538 Changes since 3.0.3b1
1539
1540- A bug was fixed in BOOTPREQUEST handling code wherein stale references to
1541 host records would be left behind on leases that were not allocated to the
1542 client currently booting (eg in the case where the host was denied booting).
1543
1544- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated to be more clear in regards to
1545 multiple host declarations (thanks to Vincent McIntyre). 'Interim' style
1546 dynamic updates were also retouched.
1547
98311e4b
DH
1548 Changes since 3.0.2
1549
1550- A bug was fixed where a server might load balance a DHCP REQUEST to its
45d545f0 1551 peer after already choosing not to load balance the preceding DISCOVER.
98311e4b
DH
1552 The peer cannot allocate the originating server's lease.
1553
1554- In the case where a secondary server lost its stable storage while the
1555 primary was still in communications-interrupted, and came back online,
1556 the lease databases would not be fully transferred to the secondary.
1557 This was due to the secondary errantly sending an extra UPDREQ message
1558 when the primary made its state transition to PARTNER-DOWN known.
1559
1560- The package will now compile cleanly in gcc 3.3 and 3.4. As a side effect,
1561 lease structures will be 9 bytes smaller on all platforms. Thanks to
4b97eaff 1562 Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
1563
1564- Interface discovery code in DISCOVER_UNCONFIGURED mode is now
1565 properly restricted to only detecting broadcast interfaces. Thanks
4b97eaff 1566 to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
1567
1568- decode_udp_ip_header was changed so that the IP address was copied out
1569 to a variable, rather than referenced by a pointer. This enforces 4-byte
1570 alignment of the 32-bit IP address value. Thanks to a patch from Dr.
1571 Peter Poeml.
1572
1573- An incorrect log message was corrected thanks to a patch from
1574 Dr. Peter Poeml.
1575
1576- A bug in DDNS was repaired, where if the server's first DDNS action was
1577 a DDNS removal rather than a DDNS update, the resolver library's
1578 retransmit timer and retry timer was set to the default, implying a
1579 15 second timeout interval. Which is a little excessive in a synchronous,
1580 single-threaded system. In all cases, ISC DHCP should now hold fast to
1581 a 1-second timeout, trying only once.
1582
1583- The siaddr field was being improperly set to the server-identifier when
1584 responding to DHCP messages. RFC2131 clarified the siaddr field as
1585 meaning the 'next server in the bootstrap process', eg a tftp server.
1586 The siaddr field is now left zeroed unless next-server is configured.
1587
1588- mockup_lease() could have returned in an error condition (or in the
1589 condition where no fixed-address was found matching the shared
1590 network) with stale references to a host record. This is probably not
1591 a memory leak since host records generally never die anyway.
1592
1593- A bug was repaired where failover servers would let stale client identifiers
1594 persist on leases that were reallocated to new clients not sending an id.
1595
1596- Binding scopes ("set var = value;") are now removed from leases allocated
1597 by failover peers if the lease had expired. This should help reduce the
1598 number of stale binding scopes on leases.
1599
1600- A small memory leak was closed involving client identifiers larger than
1601 7 bytes, and failover.
1602
1603- Configuring a subnet in dhcpd.conf with a subnet mask of 32 bits might
1604 cause an internal function to overflow heap. Thanks to Jason Vas Dias
4b97eaff 1605 at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
1606
1607- Some inconsistencies in treating numbers that the lexer parsed as 'NUMBER'
1608 or 'NUMBER_OR_NAME' was repaired. Hexadecimal parsing is affected, and
1609 should work better.
1610
1611- In several cases, parse warnings were being issued before the lexical
1612 token had been advanced to the token whose value was causing an error...
1613 causing parse warnings to claim the problem is on the wrong token.
1614
1615- Host declarations matching on client identifier for dynamic leases will
1616 no longer match fixed-address host declarations (this is now identical
1617 to behaviour for host records matching on hardware address).
1618
1619 Changes since 3.0.2rc3
1620
1621- A previously undocumented configuration directive, 'local-address',
1622 was documented in the dhcpd.conf manpage.
1623
1624 Changes since 3.0.2rc2
1625
45d545f0 1626- Two variables introduced in 3.0.2b1 were used without being initialized
98311e4b
DH
1627 in the case where neither the FILE nor SNAME fields were available for
1628 overloading. This was repaired.
1629
1630- A heretofore believed to be impossible corner case of the option
1631 overloading implementation turned out to be possible ("Unable to sort
1632 overloaded options after 10 tries."). The implementation was reworked
1633 to consider the case of an option so large it would require more than
1634 three chunks to fit.
1635
1636- Many other instances of variables being used without being initialized
1637 were repaired.
1638
1639- An uninitialized variable in omapi_io_destroy() led to the discovery
1640 that this function may result in orphaned pointers (and hence, a memory
1641 leak).
1642
1643 Changes since 3.0.2rc1
1644
1645- allocate_lease() was rewritten to repair a bug in which the server would
1646 try to allocate an ABANDONED lease when FREE leases were available.
1647
1648 Changes since 3.0.2b1
1649
1650- Some dhcp-eval.5 manpage formatting was repaired.
1651
1652 Changes since 3.0.1
1653
1654- A bug was fixed in the server's 'option overloading' implementation,
1655 where options loaded into the 'file' and 'sname' packet fields were
1656 not aligned precisely as rfc2131 dictates.
1657
1658- The FreeBSD client script was changed to support the case where a domain
1659 name was not provided by the server.
1660
1661- A memory leak in 'omshell' per each command line parsed was
1662 repaired, thanks to a patch from Jarkko Torppa.
1663
1664- Log functions writing to stderr were adjusted to use the STDERR_FILENO
1665 system definition rather than '2'. This is a no-op for 90% of platforms.
1666
1667- One call to trace_write_packet_iov() counted the number of io vectors
1668 incorrectly, causing inconsistent tracefiles. This was fixed.
1669
1670- Some expression parse failure memory leaks were closed.
1671
1672- A host byte order problem in tracefiles was repaired.
1673
1674- Pools configured in DHCPD for failover possessing permission lists that
1675 previously were assumed to not include dyanmic bootp clients are now
1676 a little more pessimistic. The result is, dhcpd will nag you about just
1677 about most pools that possess a 'allow' statement with no 'deny' that
1678 would definitely match a dynamic bootp client.
1679
1680- The 'ddns-update-style' configuration warning bit now insists that
1681 the configuration be globally scoped.
1682
1683- Two memory leaks in dhclient were closed thanks to a patch from Felix
1684 Farkas.
1685
1686- Some minor but excellently pedantic documentation errors were fixed
1687 thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
1688
1689- Bugs in operator precedence in executable statements have been repaired
1690 once again. More legal syntaxes should be parsed legally.
1691
1692- Failing to initialize a tracefile for any reason if a tracefile was
1693 specified is now a fatal error. Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
1694
1695- Corrected a bug in which the number of leases transferred as calculated
1696 by the failover primary and sent to peers in POOLRESP responses may be
1697 incorrect. This value is not believed to be used by other failover
1698 implementations, excepting perhaps as logged information.
1699
1700- Corrected a bug in which 'dhcp_failover_send_poolresp()' was in fact
1701 sending POOLREQ messages instead of POOLRESP mesasges. This message
1702 was essentially ignored since failover secondaries effectively do not
1703 respond to POOLREQ messages.
1704
1705- Type definitions for various bitwidths of integers in the sunos5-5
1706 build of ISC DHCP have been fixed. It should compile and run more
1707 easily when built in 64-bit for this platform.
1708
1709- "allow known-clients;" is now a legal syntax, to avoid confusion.
1710
1711- If one dhcp server chooses to 'load balance' a request to its failover
1712 peer, it first checks to see if it believes said peer has a free
1713 lease to allocate before ignoring the DISCOVER.
1714
1715- log() was logging a work buffer, rather than the value returned by
1716 executing the statements configured by the user. In some cases,
1717 the work buffer and the intended results were the same. In some other
1718 cases, they were not. This was fixed thanks to a patch from Gunnar
1719 Fjone and directconnect.no.
1720
1721- Compiler warnings for some string type conversions was fixed, thanks
1722 to Andreas Gustafsson.
1723
1724- The netbsd build environments were simplified to one, in which
1725 -Wconversion is not used, thanks to Andreas Gustafsson.
1726
1727- How randomness in the backoff-cutoff dhclient configuration variable
1728 is implemented was better documented in the manpage, and the behaviour
1729 of dhclient in REQUEST timeout handling was changed to match that of
1730 DISCOVER timeout handling.
1731
1732- Omapi was hardened against clients that pass in null values, thanks
1733 to a patch from Mark Jason Dominus.
1734
1735- A bug was fixed in dhclient that kept it from doing client-side
1736 ddns updates. Thanks to a patch from Andreas Gustafsson, which
1737 underwent some modification after review by Jason Vas Dias.
1738
1739- Failover implementations disconnected due to the network between
1740 them (rather than one of the two shutting down) will now try to
1741 re-establish the failover connection every 5 seconds, rather than
1742 to simply try once and give up until one of them is restarted.
1743 Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from Infoblox, and field testing
1744 by Greger V. Teigre which led to an enhancement to it.
1745
1746- A problem that kept DHCP Failover secondaries from tearing down
1747 ddns records was repaired. Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from
1748 Infoblox.
1749
1750- 64bit pointer sizes are detected properly on FreeBSD now.
1751
1752- A bug was repaired where the DHCP server would leave stale references
1753 to host records on leases it once thought about offering to certain
1754 clients. The result would be to apply host and 'known' scopes to the
1755 wrong clients (possibly denying booting). NOTE: The 'mis-host' patch
1756 that was being circulated as a workaround is not the way this bug was
1757 fixed. If you were a victim of this bug in 3.0.1, you are cautioned
1758 to proceed carefully and see if it fixes your problem.
1759
1760- A bug was repaired in the server's DHCPINFORM handling, where it
1761 tried to divine the client's address from the source packet and
1762 would get it wrong. Thanks to Anshuman Singh Rawat.
1763
1764- A log message was introduced to help illuminate the case where the
1765 server was unable to find a lease to assign to any BOOTP client.
1766 Thanks to Daniel Baker.
1767
1768- A minor dhcpd.conf.5 manpage error was fixed.
1769
1770 Changes since 3.0.1rc14
1771
1772- The global variable 'cur_time' was centralized and is now uniformly of a
1773 type #defined in system-dependent headers. It had previously been defined
1774 in one of many places as a 32-bit value, and this causes mayhem on 64-bit
1775 big endian systems. It probably wasn't too healthy on little endian
1776 systems either.
1777
1778- A printf format string error introduced in rc14 was repaired.
1779
1780- AIX system-dependent header file was altered to only define NO_SNPRINTF
1781 if the condition used to #ifdef in vsnprintf in AIX' header files
1782 is false.
1783
1784- The Alpha/OSF system-dependent header file was altered to define
1785 NO_SNPRINTF on OS revisions older than 4.0G.
1786
1787- omapip/test.c had string.h added to its includes.
1788
1789 Changes since 3.0.1rc13
1790
1791! CAN-2004-0460 - CERT VU#317350: Five stack overflow exploits were closed
1792 in logging messages with excessively long hostnames provided by the
1793 clients. It is highly probable that these could have been used by
1794 attackers to gain arbitrary root access on systems using ISC DHCP 3.0.1
1795 release candidates 12 or 13. Special thanks to Gregory Duchemin for
1796 both finding and solving the problem.
1797
1798! CAN-2004-0461 - CERT VU#654390: Once the above was closed, an opening
45d545f0 1799 in log_*() functions was evidenced, on some specific platforms where
98311e4b
DH
1800 vsnprintf() was not believed to be available and calls were wrapped to
1801 sprintf() instead. Again, credit goes to Gregory Duchemin for finding
1802 the problem. Calls to snprintf() are now linked to a distribution-local
1803 snprintf implementation, only in those cases where the architecture is
1804 not known to provide one (see includes/cf/[arch].h). If you experience
1805 linking problems with snprintf/vsnprintf or 'isc_print_' functions, this
1806 is where to look. This vulnerability did not exist in any previously
1807 published version of ISC DHCP.
1808
1809- Compilation on hpux 11.11 was repaired.
1810
1811- 'The cross-compile bug fix' was backed out.
1812
1813 Changes since 3.0.1rc12
1814
1815- Fixed a bug in omapi lease lookup function, to form the hardware
1816 address for the hash lookup correctly, thanks to a patch from
1817 Richard Hirst.
1818
1819- Fixed a bug where dhcrelay was sending relayed responses back to the
1820 broadcast address, but with the source's unicast mac address. Should
1821 now conform to rfc2131 section 4.1.
1822
1823- Cross-compile bug fix; use $(AR) instead of ar. Thanks to Morten Brorup.
1824
1825- Fixed a crash bug in dhclient where dhcpd servers that do not provide
1826 renewal times results in an FPE. As a side effect, dhclient can now
1827 properly handle 0xFFFFFFFF (-1) expiry times supplied by servers. Thanks
1828 to a patch from Burt Silverman.
1829
1830- The 'ping timeout' debugs from rc12 were removed to -DDEBUG only,
45d545f0 1831 and reformatted to correct a compilation error on Solaris platforms.
98311e4b
DH
1832
1833- A patch was applied which fixes a case where leases read from the
1834 leases database do not properly over-ride previously read leases.
1835
1836- dhcpctl.3 manpage was tweaked.
1837
1838 Changes since 3.0.1rc11
1839
1840- A patch from Steve Campbell was applied with minor modifications to
1841 permit reverse dns PTR record updates with values containing spaces.
1842
1843- A patch from Florian Lohoff was applied with some modifications to
1844 dhcrelay. It now discards packets whose hop count exceeds 10 by default,
1845 and a command-line option (-c) can be used to set this threshold.
1846
1847- A failover bug relating to identifying peers by name length instead of
1848 by name was fixed.
1849
45d545f0 1850- Declaring failover configs within shared-network statements should no
98311e4b
DH
1851 longer result in error.
1852
1853- The -nw command line option to dhclient now works.
1854
1855- Thanks to a patch from Michael Richardson:
1856 - Some problems with long option processing have been fixed.
1857 - Some fixes to minires so that updates of KEY records will work.
1858
1859- contrib/ms2isc was updated by Shu-Min Chang of the Intel Corporation.
1860 see contrib/ms2isc/readme.txt for revision notes.
1861
1862- Dhclient no longer uses shell commands to kill another instance of
1863 itself, it sends the signal directly. Thanks to a patch from Martin
1864 Blapp.
1865
1866- The FreeBSD dhclient-script was changed so that a failure to write to
1867 /etc/resolv.conf does not prematurely end the script. This keeps dhclient
1868 from looping infinitely when this is the case. Thanks to a patch from
1869 Martin Blapp.
1870
1871- A patch from Bill Stephens was applied which resolves a problem with lease
1872 expiry times in failover configurations.
1873
1874- A memory leak in configuration parsing was closed thanks to a patch from
1875 Steve G.
1876
1877- The function which discovers interfaces will now skip non-broadcast or
1878 point-to-point interfaces, thanks to a patch from David Brownlee.
1879
1880- Options not yet known by the dhcpd or dhclient have had their names
1881 changed such that they do not contain # symbols, in case they should ever
1882 appear in a lease file. An option that might have been named "#144" is
1883 now "unknown-144".
1884
1885- Another patch from Bill Stephens which allows the ping-check timeout to
1886 be configured as 'ping-timeout'. Defaults to 1.
1887
1888 Changes since 3.0.1rc10
1889
1890- Potential buffer overflows in minires repaired.
1891
1892- A change to the linux client script to use /bin/bash, since /bin/sh may
1893 not be bash.
1894
1895- Some missing va_end cleanups thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
1896
1897- A correction of boolean parsing syntax validation - some illegal syntaxes
1898 that worked before are now detected and produce errs, some legal syntaxes
1899 that errored before will now work properly.
1900
1901- Some search-and-replace errors that caused some options to change their
1902 names was repaired.
1903
1904- Shu-min Chang of the Intel corporation has contributed a perl script and
1905 module that converts the MS NT4 DHCP configuration to a ISC DHCP3
1906 configuration file.
1907
1908- Applied the remainder of the dhcpctl memory leak patch provided by Bill
1909 Squier at ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
1910
1911- Missing non-optional failover peer configurations will now result in a soft
1912 error rather than a null dereference.
1913
1914 Changes since 3.0.1rc9
1915
1916- A format string was corrected to fix compiler warnings.
1917
1918- A number of spelling corrections were made in the man pages.
1919
1920- The dhclient.conf.5 man page was changed to refer to do-forward-updates
1921 rather than a configuration option that doesn't exist.
1922
1923- A FreeBSD-specific bug in the interface removal handling was fixed.
1924
1925- A Linux-specific Token Ring detection problem was fixed.
1926
1927- Hashes removed from as-yet-unknown agent options, having those options
1928 appear in reality before we know about them will no longer produce
1929 self-corrupting lease databases.
1930
1931- dhclient will use the proper port numbers now when using the -g option.
1932
1933- A order-of-operations bug with 2 match clauses in 1 class statement is
1934 fixed thanks to a patch from Andrew Matheson.
1935
1936- Compilation problems on Solaris were fixed.
1937
1938- Compilation problems when built with DEBUG or DEBUG_PACKET were repaired.
1939
1940- A fix to the dhcp ack process which makes certain group options will be
1941 included in the first DHCPOFFER message was made thanks to a patch from
1942 Ling Gou.
1943
1944- A few memory leaks were repaired thanks to patches from Bill Squier at
1945 ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
1946
1947- A fix for shared-networks that sometimes give clients options for the
1948 wrong subnets (in particular, 'option routers') was applied, thanks to
1949 Ted Lemon for the patch.
1950
1951- Omshell's handling of dotted octets as values was changed such that dots
1952 one after the other produce zero values in the integer string.
1953
1954 Changes since 3.0.1rc8
1955
1956- Fix a format string vulnerability in the server that could lead to a
1957 remote root compromise (discovered by NGSEC Research Team, www.ngsec.com).
1958
1959- Add additional support for NetBSD/sparc64.
1960
1961- Fix a bug in the command-line parsing of the client. Also, resolve
1962 a memory leak.
1963
1964- Add better support for shells other than bash in the Linux client
1965 script.
1966
1967- Various build fixes for modern versions of FreeBSD and Linux.
1968
1969- Fix a bad bounds check when printing binding state names.
1970
1971- Clarify documentation about fixed-address and multiple addresses.
1972
1973- Fix a typo in the authoritative error message.
1974
1975- Make a log entry when we can't write a billing class.
1976
1977- Use conversion targets that are the right size on all architectures.
1978
1979- Increment the hop count when relaying.
1980
1981- Log a message when lease state is changed through OMAPI.
1982
1983- Don't rerun the shared_network when evaluating the pool.
1984
1985- Fix a reversed test in the parser.
1986
1987- Change the type of rbuf_max.
1988
1989- Make FTS_LAST a manifest constant to quiet warnings.
1990
1991 Changes since 3.0.1rc7
1992
1993- Fix two compiler warnings that are generated when compiling on Solaris
1994 with gcc. These stop the build, even though they weren't actually
1995 errors, because we prefer that our builds generate no warnings.
1996
1997 Changes since 3.0.1rc6
1998
1999- Don't allow a lease that's in the EXPIRED, RELEASED or RESET state
2000 to be renewed.
2001
2002- Implement lease stealing for cases where the primary has fewer leases
2003 than the secondary, as called for by the standard.
2004
2005- Add a fudge factor to the lease expiry acceptance code, (suggested
2006 by Kevin Miller of CMU).
2007
2008- Fix a bug in permit_list_match that made it much too willing to say
2009 that two permit lists matched.
2010
2011- Unless DEBUG_DNS_UPDATES is defined, print more user-friendly (and
2012 also more compact) messages about DNS updates.
2013
2014- Fix a bug in generating wire-format domain names for the FQDN option.
2015
2016- Fix a bug where the FQDN option would not be returned if the client
2017 requested it, contrary to the standard.
2018
2019- On Darwin, use the FreeBSD DHCP client script.
2020
2021- On NetBSD/sparc, don't check for casting warnings.
2022
2023- Add a flag in the DHCP client to disable updating the client's A
2024 record when sending an FQDN option indicating that the client is
2025 going to update its A record.
2026
2027- In the client, don't attempt a DNS update until one second after
2028 configuring the new IP address, and if the update times out, keep
2029 trying until a response, positive or negative, is received from the
2030 DNS server.
2031
2032- Fix an uninitialized memory bug in the DHCP client.
2033
2034- Apply some FreeBSD-specific bug fixes suggested by Murray Stokely.
2035
2036- Fix a bug in ns_parserr(), where it was returning the wrong sort
2037 of result code in some cases (suggested by Ben Harris of the
2038 NetBSD project).
2039
2040- Fix a bug in is_identifier(), where it was checking against EOF
2041 instead of the END_OF_FILE token (also suggested by Ben Harris).
2042
2043- Fix a bug where if an option universe contained no options, the
2044 DHCP server could dump core (Walter Steiner).
2045
2046- Fix a bug in the handling of encapsulated options.
2047
2048- Fix a bug that prevented NWIP suboptions from being processed.
2049
2050- Delete the FTS_BOOTP and FTS_RESERVED states and implement them
2051 as modifier flags to the FTS_ACTIVE state, as called for in the
2052 failover protocol standard.
2053
2054- Fix bugs in the pool merging code that resulted in references and
2055 dereferences of null pointers. This bug had no impact unless the
2056 POINTER_DEBUG flag was defined.
2057
2058- In the server, added a do-forward-updates flag that can be used to
2059 disable forward updates in all cases, so that sites that want the
2060 clients to take sole responsibility for updating their A record can
2061 do so.
2062
2063- Make it possible to disable optimization of PTR record updates.
2064
2065 Changes since 3.0.1rc5
2066
2067- Include some new documentation and changes provided by Karl Auer.
2068
2069- Add a workaround for some Lexmark printers that send a double-NUL-
2070 terminated host-name option, which would break DNS updates.
2071
2072- Fix an off-by-one error in the MAC-address checking code for
2073 DHCPRELEASE that was added in 3.0.1rc5.
2074
2075- Fix a bug where client-specific information was not being discarded
2076 from the lease when it expired or was released, resulting in
2077 problems if the lease was reallocated to a different client.
2078
2079- If more than one allocation pool is specified that has the same set
2080 of constraints as another allocation pool on the same shared
2081 network, merge the two pools.
2082
2083- Don't print an error in fallback_discard, since this just causes
2084 confusion and does not appear to be helping to encourage anyone to
2085 fix this bug.
2086
2087 Changes since 3.0.1rc4
2088
2089- Fix a bug that would cause the DHCP server to spin if asked to parse
2090 a certain kind of incorrect statement.
2091
2092- Fix a related bug that would prevent an error from being reported in
2093 the same case.
2094
2095- Additional documentation.
2096
2097- Make sure that the hardware address matches the lease when
2098 processing a DHCPRELEASE message.
2099
2100 Changes since 3.0.1rc3
2101
2102- A minor bug fix in the arguments to a logging function call.
2103- Documentation update for dhcpd.conf.
2104
adbef119 2105 Changes since 3.0.1rc2
98311e4b
DH
2106
2107- Allow the primary to send a POOLREQ message. This isn't what the current
2108 failover draft says to do, so we may have to back it out if I can't get the
2109 authors to relent, but the scheme for balancing that's specified in the
2110 current draft seems needlessly hairy, so I'm floating a trial balloon.
2111 The rc1 code did not implement the method described in the draft either.
2112
adbef119 2113 Changes since 3.0.1rc1
98311e4b
DH
2114
2115- Treat NXDOMAIN and NXRRSET as success when we are trying to delete a
2116 domain or RRSET. This allows the DHCP server to forget about a name
2117 it added to the DNS once it's been removed, even if the DHCP server
2118 wasn't the one that removed it.
2119
2120- Install defaults for failover maximum outstanding updates and maximum
2121 silent time. This prevents problems that might occur if these values
2122 were not configured.
2123
2124- Don't do DDNS deletes if ddns-update-style is none.
2125
2126- Return relay agent information options in DHCPNAK. This prevents DHCPNAK
2127 messages from being dropped when the relay agent information option contains
2128 routing information.
2129
2130- Fix a problem where coming up in recover wouldn't result in an update
2131 request being sent.
2132
2133- Add some more chatty messages when we start a recovery update and when it's
2134 done.
2135
2136- Fix a possible problem where some state might have been left around
2137 after the peer lost contact and regained contact about how many updates
2138 were pending.
2139
2140- Don't nix a lease update because of a lease conflict. This test has
2141 never (as far as I know) prevented a mistake, and it appears to cause
2142 problems with failover.
2143
2144- Add support in rc history code for keeping a selective history, rather
2145 than a history of all references and dereferences. This code is only used
2146 when extensive additional debugging is enabled.
2147
adbef119 2148 Changes since 3.0
98311e4b
DH
2149
2150- Make allocators for hash tables. As a side effect, this fixes a memory
2151 smash in the subclass allocation code.
2152
2153- Fix a small bug in omshell where if you try to close an object when
2154 no object is open, it dumps core.
2155
2156- Fix an obscure coredump that could occur on shutdown.
2157
2158- Fix a bug in the recording of host declaration rubouts in the lease file.
2159
2160- Fix two potential spins in the host deletion code.
2161
2162- Fix a core dump that would happen if an application tried to update
2163 a host object attribute with a null value.
2164
2165 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 12
2166
2167- Fix a memory leak in the evaluation code.
2168
2169- Fix an obscure core dump.
2170
2171- Print a couple of new warnings when parsing the configuration file
2172 when crucial information is left out.
2173
2174- Log "no free leases" as an error.
2175
2176- Documentation updates.
2177
2178 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 11
2179
2180- Always return a subnet selection option if one is sent.
2181
2182- Fix a warning that was being printed because an automatic data
2183 structure wasn't zeroed.
2184
2185- Fix some failover state transitions that were being handled
2186 incorrectly.
2187
2188- When supersede_lease is called on a lease whose end time has already
2189 expired, but for which a state transition has not yet been done, do
2190 a state transition. This fixes the case where if the secondary
2191 allocated a lease to a client and the lease "expired" while the
2192 secondary was in partner-down, no expiry event would actually
2193 happen, so the lease would remain active until the primary was
2194 restarted.
2195
2196 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 10
2197
2198- Fix a bug that was preventing released leases from changing state
2199 in failover-enabled pools.
2200
2201- Fix a core dump in the client identifier finder code (for host
2202 declarations).
2203
2204- Finish fixing a bug where bogus data would sometimes get logged to
2205 the dhclient.leases file because it was opened as descriptor 2.
2206
2207- Fix the Linux dhclient-script according to suggestions made by
2208 several people on the dhcp-client mailing list.
2209
2210- Log successful DNS updates at LOG_INFO, not LOG_ERROR.
2211
2212- Print an error message and refuse to run if a failover peer is
2213 defined but not referenced by any pools.
2214
2215- Correct a confusing error message in failover.
2216

TL
2229 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8 Patchlevel 1
2230
2231- Fix a parsing bug that broke dns updates (both interim and ad-hoc).
2232 This was introduced in rc8pl1 as an unintended result of the memory
2233 leakage fixes that were in pl1.
2234
2235- Fix a long-standing bug where the server would record that an update
2236 had been done for a client with no name, even though no update had
2237 been done, and then when the client's lease expired the deletion of
2238 that nonexistant record would time out because the name was the null
2239 string.
2240
2241- Clean up the omshell, dhcpctl and omapi man pages a bit.

2243 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8
2244
2245- Fix a bug that could cause the DHCP server to spin if
2246 one-lease-per-client was enabled.
2247
2248- Fix a bug that was causing core dumps on BSD/os in the presence of
2249 malformed packets.
2250
2251- In partner-down state, don't restrict lease lengths to MCLT.
2252
2253- On the failover secondary, record the MCLT received from the primary
2254 so that if we come up without a connection to the primary we don't
2255 wind up giving out zero-length leases.
2256
2257- Fix some compilation problems on BSD/os.
2258
2259- Fix a bunch of memory leaks.
2260
2261- Fix a couple of bugs in the option printer.
2262
2263- Fix an obscure error reporting bug in the dns update code, and also
2264 make the message clearer when a key algorithm isn't supported.
2265
2266- Fix a bug in the tracing code that prevented trace runs that used
2267 tcp connections from being played back.
2268
2269- Add some additional debugging capability for catching memory leaks
2270 on exit.
2271
2272- Make the client release the lease correctly on shutdown.
2273
2274- Add some configurability to the build system.
2275
2276- Install omshell manual page in man1, not man8.
2277
2278- Craig Gwydir sent in a patch that fixes a long-standing bug in the
2279 DHCP client that could cause core dumps, but that for some reason
2280 hadn't been noticed until now.
2281
2282 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 7
2283
2284- Fix a bug in failover where we weren't sending updates after a
2285 transition from communications-interrupted to normal.
2286
2287- Handle expired/released/reset -> free transition according to the
2288 protocol specification (this works - the other way not only wasn't
2289 conformant, but also didn't work).
2290
2291- Add a control object in both client and server that allows either
2292 daemon to be shut down cleanly.
2293
2294- When writing a lease, if we run out of disk space, shut down the
2295 output file and insist on writing a new one before proceeding.
2296
2297- In the server, if the OMAPI listener port is occupied, keep trying
2298 to get it, rather than simply giving up and exiting.
2299
2300- Support fetching variables from leases and also updating and adding
2301 variables to leases via OMAPI.
2302
2303- If two failover peers have wildly different clocks, refuse to start
2304 doing failover.
2305
2306- Fix a bug in the DNS update code that could cause core dumps when
2307 running on alpha processors.
2308
2309- Fixed a bug in ddns updates for static lease entries, thanks to a
2310 patch from Andrey M Linkevitch.
2311
2312- Add support for Darwin/MacOS X
2313
2314- Install omshell (including new documentation).
2315
2316- Support DNS updates in the client (this is a very obscure feature
2317 that most DHCP client users probably will not be able to use).
2318
2319- Somewhat cleaner status logging in the client.
2320
2321- Make OMAPI key naming syntax compatible with the way keys are
2322 actually named (key names are domain names).
2323
2324- Fix a bug in the lease file writer.
2325
2326- Install DHCP ISC headers in a different place than BIND 9 ISC
2327 headers, to avoid causing trouble in BIND 9 builds.
2328
2329- Don't send updates for attributes on an object when the attributes
2330 haven't changed. Support deleting attributes on remote objects.
2331
2332- Fix a number of bugs in omshell, and add the unset and refresh
2333 statements.
2334
2335- Handle disconnects in OMAPI a little bit more intelligently (so that
2336 the caller gets ECONNRESET instead of EINVAL).
2337
2338- Fix a bunch of bugs in the handling of clients that have existing
2339 leases when the try to renew their leases while failover is
2340 operating.

TL
2342 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 6
2343
2344- Fix a core dump that could happen when processing a DHCPREQUEST from
2345 a client that had a host declaration that contained both a
2346 fixed-address declaration and a dhcp-client-identifier option
2347 declaration, if the client identifier was longer than nine bytes.
2348
2349- Fix a memory leak that could happen in certain obscure cases when
2350 using omapi to manipulate leases.
2351
2352- Fix some bugs and omissions in omshell.
2353
2354
2355 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 5
2356
2357- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that prevented objects in
2358 chains from having their reference counts decreased on dereference.
2359
2360- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that would prevent object
2361 chains from being freed upon removal of the last reference external
2362 to the chain.
2363
2364- Fix a number of other memory leaks in the OMAPI protocol subsystem.
2365
2366- Add code in the OMAPI protocol handler to trace memory leakage.
2367
2368- Clean up the memory allocation/reference history printer.
2369
98311e4b 2370- Support input of dotted quads and colon-separated hex lists as
eaf0b302
TL
2371 attribute values in omshell.

2375- Conditionalize a piece of trace code that wasn't conditional.
2376
2377 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 4
2378
2379- Fix a bug that would prevent leases from being abandoned properly on
2380 DHCPDECLINE.
2381
2382- Fix failover peer OMAPI support.
2383
2384- In failover, correctly handle expiration of leases. Previously,
2385 leases would never be reclaimed because they couldn't make the
2386 transition from EXPIRED to FREE.
2387
2388- Fix some broken failover state transitions.
2389
2390- Documentation fixes.
2391
2392- Take out an unnecessary check in DHCP relay agent information option
2393 stashing code that was preventing REBINDING clients from rebinding.
2394
2395- Prevent failover peers from allocating leases in DHCPREQUEST
2396 processing if the lease belongs to the other server.
2397
2398- Record server version in lease file introductory comment.
2399
2400- Correctly report connection errors in OMAPI and failover.
2401
2402- Make authentication signature algorithm name comparisons in OMAPI
2403 case-insensitive.
2404
2405- Fix compile problem on SunOS 4.x
2406
98311e4b 2407- If a signature algorithm is not terminated with '.', terminate it so
eaf0b302
TL
2408 that comparisons between fully-qualified names will work
2409 consistently.
2410
2411- Different SIOCGIFCONF probe code, may "fix" problem on some Linux
2412 systems with the probe not working correctly.
2413
2414- Don't allow user to type omapi key on command line of omshell.

TL
2416 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 3
2417
2418- Do lease billing on startup in a way that I *think* will finally do
2419 the billing correctly - the previous method could overbill as a
2420 result of duplicate leases.
2421
2422- Document OMAPI server objects.

2427 Herranz for figuring out the main problem.
2428
2429- Fix some reference counting errors on host entries that were causing
2430 core dumps.
2431

2433 Friedrich.

2435- Fix a bug in lease billing, thanks to Jonas Bulow.
2436
2437 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 2
2438
2439- Change the conditions under which a DHCPRELEASE is actually
2440 committed to be consistent with lease binding states rather than
98311e4b 2441 using the lease end time. This may fix some problems with the
892fe689
TL
2442 billing class code.
2443
2444- Fix a bug where lease updates would fail on Digital Unix (and maybe
2445 others) because malloc was called with a size of zero.
2446
2447- Fix a core dump that happens when the DHCP server can't create its
2448 trace file.
2449
79ea3de8 2450 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 1 Patchlevel 1
87784777 2451
79ea3de8
TL
2452- Fix the dhcp_failover_put_message to not attempt to allocate a
2453 zero-length buffer. Some versions of malloc() fail if you try to
2454 allocate a zero-length buffer, and this was causing problems on,
2455 e.g., Digital Unix.
2456
2457- Fix a case where the failover code was printing an error message
2458 when no error had occurred.
2459
2460- Fix a problem where when a server went down and back up again, the
2461 peer would not see a state transition and so would stay in the
2462 non-communicating state.
2463
2464- Be smart about going into recover_wait.
2465
2466- Fix a problem in the failover implementation where peers would fail
2467 to come into sync if interrupted in the RECOVER state. This could
2468 have been the cause of some problems people have reported recently.
2469
2470- Fix a problem with billing classes where they would not be unbilled
2471 when the client lease expired.
2472
2473- If select fails, figure out which descriptor is bad, and cut it out
2474 of the I/O loop. This prevents a potentially nasty spin. I
2475 haven't heard any report it in a while, but it came up consistently
2476 in testing.
2477
2478- Fix a bug in the relay agent where if you specified interfaces on
2479 the command line, it would fail.
2480
2481- Fix a couple of small bugs in the omapi connection object (no known
2482 user impact).
2483
2484- Add the missing 3.0 Beta 1 lease conversion script.
2485
2486- Read dhcp client script hooks if they exist, rather than only if
2487 they're executable.

2492 ANY SITE AT WHICH FIXED-ADDRESS STATEMENTS ARE BEING USED SHOULD
2493 UPGRADE IMMEDIATELY. This has been a long-standing bug - thanks to
2494 Alvise Nobile for discovering it and helping me to find it!

2497 Transmeta.

TL
2499- There is a known problem with the DHCP server doing failover on
2500 Compaq Alpha systems. This patchlevel is not a release candidate
2501 because of this bug. The bug should be straightforward to fix, so
2502 a new release candidate is expected shortly.
2503
2504- There is a known problem in the DDNS update code that is probably a
2505 bug, and is not, as far as we know, fixed in this patchlevel.

TL
2507 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 24
2508

2510 work, so that failover should now much less fragile.
2511
2512- Add some dhcpctl and omapi documentation
2513
2514- Fix compile errors when compiling with unusual predefines.
2515
2516- Make Token Ring work on Linux 2.4
2517
2518- Fix the Digital Unix BPF_WORDALIGN bug.
2519

2527
2528- Fix a bug in the DNS update code where a status code was not being
2529 checked. This may have been causing core dumps.
2530
2531- When parsing the lease file, if a lease declaration includes a
2532 billing class statement, and the lease already has a billing class,
2533 unbill the old class.
2534
2535- When processing failover transactions, where acks will be deferred,
2536 process the state transition immediately.
2537
2538- Don't try to use the new SIOCGIFCONF buffer size detection code on
2539 Linux 2.0, which doesn't provide this functionality.
2540
2541- Apply a patch suggested by Tuan Uong for a problem in dlpi.c.
2542
2543- Fix a problem in using the which command in the configure script.
2544
2545- Fix a parse error in the client when setting up an omapi listener.
2546
2547- Document the -n and -g flags to the client.
2548
2549- Make sure there is always a stdin and stdout on startup. This
2550 prevents shell scripts from accidentally writing error messages into
2551 configuration files that happen to be opened as stderr.
2552
2553- If an interface is removed, the client will now notice that it is
2554 gone rather than spinning. This has only been tested on NetBSD.
2555
2556- The client will attempt to get an address even if it can't create a
2557 lease file.
2558
2559- Don't overwrite tracefiles.
2560
2561- Fix some memory allocation bugs in failover.

2579 pl19.
2580
2581- Actually fix the spin described in the changes for pl20. The
2582 previous fix only partially fixed the problem - enough to get it
2583 past the regression test.

2591 DHCPREQUEST.

2601- Allow the server to be placed in partner-down state using OMAPI.
2602 (Damien Neil)
2603
2604- Implement omshell, which can be used to do arbitrary things to the
2605 server (in theory). (Damien Neil)
2606
2607- Fix a case where if a client had two different leases the server could
2608 actually dereference the second one when it hadn't been referenced,
2609 leading to memory corruption and a core dump. (James Brister)
2610
2611- Fix a case where a client could request the address of another client's
2612 lease, but find_lease wouldn't detect that the other client had it, and
2613 would attempt to allocate it to the client, resulting in a lease conflict
2614 message.
2615
2616- Fix a case where a client with more than one client identifier could be
2617 given a lease where the hardware address was correct but the client
2618 identifier was not, resulting in a lease conflict message.
2619
98311e4b 2620- Fix a problem where the server could write out a colon-separated
3350f5b7
TL
2621 hex list as a value for a variable, which would then not parse.
2622 The fix is to always write strings as quoted strings, with any
2623 non-printable characters quoted as octal escape sequences. So
2624 a file written the old way still won't work, but new files written
2625 this way will work.
2626

TL
2627- Fix documentation for sending non-standard options.
2628
2629- Use unparsable names for unknown options. WARNING: this will
2630 break any configuration files that use the option-nnn convention.
2631 If you want to continue to use this convention for some options,
2632 please be sure to write a definition, like this:
2633
2634 option option-nnn code nnn = string;
2635
2636 You can use a descriptive name instead of option-nnn if you like.
2637
2638- Fix a problem where we would see a DHCPDISCOVER/DHCPOFFER/
2639 DHCPREQUEST/DHCPACK/DHCPREQUEST/DHCPNAK sequence. This was the
2640 result of a deceptively silly bug in supersede_lease.
2641
2642- Fix client script exit status check, according to a fix supplied by
2643 Hermann Lauer.

2646 messages.

TL
2655- Add support for transaction tracing. This allows the state of the
2656 DHCP server on startup, and all the subsequent transactions, to be
2657 recorded in a file which can then be played back to reproduce the
2658 behaviour of the DHCP server. This can be used to quickly
2659 reproduce bugs that cause core dumps or corruption, and also for
2660 tracking down memory leaks.
2661
2662- Incorporate some bug fixes provided by Joost Mulders for the DLPI
2663 package which should clear up problems people have been seeing on
2664 Solaris.
2665
2666- Fix bugs in the handling of options stored as linked lists (agent
2667 options, fqdn options and nwip options) that could cause memory
2668 corruption and core dumps.
2669
2670- Fix a bug in DHCPREQUEST handling that resulted in DHCPNAK messages
2671 not being send in some cases when they were needed.
2672
2673- Make the lease structure somewhat more compact.
2674
2675- Make initial failover startup *much* faster. This was researched
2676 and implemented by Damien Neil.

2679 name and version to standard output.

2716
2717- Finish fixing a long-standing bug in the agent options code. This
2718 was causing core dumps and failing to operate correctly - in
2719 particular, agent option stashing wasn't working. Agent option
2720 stashing should now be working, meaning that agent options can be
2721 used in class statements to control address allocation.
2722

2729
2730- Fix a compile error on some older operating systems.

2732- Add the ability in the client to execute certain statements before
2733 transmitting packets to the server. Handy for debugging; not much
2734 practical use otherwise.

2745- Work around the Win98 DHCP client, which NUL-terminates the FQDN
2746 option.

2748- Work around Win98 and Win2k clients that will claim they want to do
2749 the update even when they don't have any way to do it.
2750
2751- Fix some log messages that can be printed when failover is operating
2752 that were not printing enough information.
2753
2754- It was possible for a DHCPDISCOVER to get an allocation even when
2755 the state machine said the server shouldn't be responding.
2756
2757- Don't load balance DHCPREQUESTs from clients in RENEWING and
2758 REBINDING, since in RENEWING, if we heard it, it's for us, and in
2759 REBINDING, the client wouldn't have got to REBINDING if its primary
2760 were answering.

2773 decoder that would prevent any key with an 'x' in its base64
2774 representation from working correctly.
2775
2776- Thanks to Chris Cheney and Michael Sanders, we have a fix for the
2777 hang that they both spotted in the DHCP server - when
2778 one-lease-per-client was set, the code to release the "other" lease
2779 could spin.
2780
2781- Fix a problem with alignment of the input buffer in bpf in cases
2782 where two packets arrive in the same bpf read.
2783
2784- Fix a problem where the relay agent would crash if you specified an
2785 interface name on the command line.
2786
2787- Add the ability to conditionalize client behaviour based on the
2788 client state.
2789
2790- Add support for the FQDN option, and added support for a new way of
2791 doing ddns updates (ddns update style interim) that allows more than
2792 one DHCP server to update the DNS for the same network(s). This
2793 was implemented by Damien Neil with some additional functionality
2794 added by Ted Lemon.
2795
2796- Damien added a "log" statement, so that the configuration file can
2797 be made to log debugging information and other information.
2798
2799- Fixed a bug that caused option buffers not to be terminated with an
2800 end option.
2801
2802- Fixed a long-standing bug in the support for option spaces where the
2803 options are stored as an ordered list rather than in a hash table,
2804 which could theoretically result in memory pool corruption.
2805
2806- Prevent hardware declarations with no actual hardware address from
2807 being written as something unparsable, and behave correctly in the
2808 face of a null hardware address on input.
2809
2810- Allow key names to be FQDNs, and qualify the algorithm name if it is
2811 specified unqualified.
2812
2813- Modify the DDNS update code so that it never prints the "resolver
2814 failed" message, but instead says *why* the resolver failed.
2815
2816- Officially support the subnet selection option, which now has an
2817 RFC.
2818
2819- Fix a build bug on MacOS X.
2820
2821- Allow administrator to disable ping checking.
2822
2823- Clean up dhcpd.conf documentation and add more information about how
2824 it works.

2828- Fix a bug introduced during debugging (!) and accidentally committed
2829 to CVS.

TL
2831 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 9
2832
2833- Fix DHCP client handling of vendor encapsulated options.
2834
2835- Fix a bug in the handling of relay agent information options introduced
2836 in patchlevel 9.
2837
2838- Stash agent options on client leases by default, and use the stashed
2839 options at renewal time.
2840
2841- Add the ability to test the client's binding state in the client
2842 configuration language.
2843
2844- Fix a core dump in the DNS update code.
2845
2846- Fix some expression evaluation bugs that were causing updates to be
2847 done when no client hostname was received.
2848
2849- Fix expression evaluation debugging printfs.
2850
2851- Teach pretty_print_option to print options in option spaces other than
2852 the DHCP option space.
2853
2854- Add a warning message if the RHS of a not is not boolean.
2855
2856- Never select for more than a day, because some implementations of
2857 select will just fail if the timeout is too long (!).
2858
2859- Fix a case where a DHCPDISCOVER from an unknown network would be
2860 silently dropped.
2861
2862- Fix a bug where if a client requested an IP address for which a different
2863 client had the lease, the DHCP server would reallocate it anyway.
2864
2865- Fix the DNS update code so that if the client changes its name, the DNS
2866 will be correctly updated.

2871 bounds-checking.

TL
2879- Fix a possible DoS attack where a client could cause the checksummer
2880 to dump core. This was a read, not a write, so it shouldn't be
2881 possible to exploit it any further than that.
2882
2883- Implement client- and server-side support for using the Client FQDN
2884 option.
2885
2886- Support for other option spaces in the client has been added. This
2887 means that it is now possible to define a vendor option space on the
2888 client, request options in that space from the server (which must
2889 define the same option space), and then use those options in the
2890 client. This also allows NWIP and Client FQDN options to be used
2891 meaningfully.
2892
2893- Add object initializer support. This means that objects can now be
2894 initialized to something other than all-zeros when allocated, which
2895 makes, e.g., the interface object support code a little more robust.
2896
2897- Fix an off-by-one bug in the host stuffer. This was causing host
2898 deletes not the work, and may also have been causing OMAPI
2899 connections to get dropped. Thanks to James Brister for tracking
2900 this one down!
2901
2902- Fixed a core dump in the interface discovery code that is triggered
2903 when there is no subnet declaration for an interface, but the server
2904 decides to continue running. Thanks to Shane Kerr for tracking
2905 down and fixing this problem.
2906
2907 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 5
2908

TL
2909- Fix a bug in the recent enhancement to the interface discovery code
2910 to support arbitrary-length interface lists.
2911
2912- Support NUL-terminated DHCP options when initializing client-script
2913 environment.
2914
2915- Fix suffix operator.
2916
2917- Fix NetWare/IP option parsing.
2918
2919- Better error/status checking in dhcpctl initialization and omapi
2920 connection code.
2921
2922- Fix a potential memory smash in dhcpctl code.
2923
2924- Fix SunOS4 and (maybe) Ultrix builds.
2925
2926- Fix a bug where a certain sort of incoming packet could cause a core
2927 dump on Solaris (and probably elsewhere).
2928
2929- Add some more safety checks in error logging code.
2930
2931- Add support for ISC_R_INCOMPLETE in OMAPI protocol connection code.
2932
2933- Fix relay agent so that if an interface is specified on the command
2934 line, the relay agent does not dump core.
2935
2936- Fix class matching so that match if can be combined with match or
2937 spawn with.
2938
2939- Do not allow spurious leases in the lease database to introduce
2940 potentially bogus leases into the in-memory database.
2941
2942- Fix a byte-order problem in the client hardware address type code
2943 for OMAPI.
2944
2945- Be slightly less picky about what sort of hardware addresses OMAPI
2946 can install in host declarations.

2948 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 4
2949
2950- Incorporated Peter Marschall's proposed change to array/record
2951 parsing, which allows things like the slp-agent option to be encoded
2952 correctly. Thanks very much to Peter for taking the initiative to
2953 do this, and for doing such a careful job of it (e.g., updating the
2954 comments)!
2955
2956- Added an encoding for the slp-agent option. :')

TL
2958- Fixed SunOS 4 build. Thanks to Robert Elz for responding to my
2959 request for help on this with patches!
2960
2961- Incorporated a change that should fix a problem reported by Philippe
2962 Jumelle where when the network connection between two servers is
2963 lost, they never reconnect.
2964
2965- Fix client script files other than that for NetBSD to actually use
2966 make_resolv_conf as documented in the manual page.
2967
2968- Fix a bug in the packet handling code that could result in a core
2969 dump.
2970
2971- Fix a bug in the bootp code where responses on the local net would
2972 be sent to the wrong MAC address. Thanks to Jerry Schave for
2973 catching this one.
2974

TL
2975 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 3
2976
2977- In the DHCP client, execute client statements prior to using the values
45d545f0 2978 of options, so that the client configuration can overridden, e.g., the
490eb5e7
TL
2979 lease renewal time.
2980
2981- Fix a reference counting error that would result in very reproducible
2982 failures in updates, as well as occasional core dumps, if a zone was
2983 declared without a key.
2984
2985- Fix some Linux 2.0 compilation problems.
2986
2987- Fix a bug in scope evaluation during execution of "on" statements that
2988 caused values not to be recorded on leases.
2989
2990- If the dhcp-max-message-size option is specified in scope, and the
2991 client didn't send this option, use the one specified in scope to
2992 determine the maximum size of the response.

2999- Fix a case where the DHCP server might inappropriately NAK a
3000 RENEWING client.
3001
3002- Fix a place dhcprequest() where static leases could leak.
3003
3004- Include memory.h in omapip_p.h so that we don't get warnings about
3005 using memcmp().

3007 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 1
3008
3009- Notice when SIOCFIGCONF returns more data than fit in the buffer -
3010 allocate a larger buffer, and retry. Thanks to Greg Fausak for
3011 pointing this out.
3012
3013- In the server, if no interfaces were configured, report an error and
3014 exit.
3015
3016- Don't ever record a state of 'startup'.
3017
3018- Don't try to evaluate the local failover binding address if none was
3019 specified. Thanks to Joseph Breu for finding this.
