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

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

55 Changes since 4.3.3
56
555093da
TM
57- Corrected a static analyzer warning in common/execute.c
58 [ISC-Bugs #40374]
e82906fc 59
555093da
TM
60- ISC DHCP now follows the common convention to use the base name a
61 program is invoked with (aka argv[0], vs. a builtin name) for
62 logs. This should help differentiate syslog entires for DHCPv4 and
63 DHCPv6 servers. You can define OLD_LOG_NAME in includes/site.h to
64 keep the previous behavior.
65 [ISC-Bugs #38692]
20931f53 66
555093da
TM
67- The linux packet filter code now correctly treats only least significant
68 12 bits an inbound packet's TCI value as the VLAN id (per IEEE 802.1Q).
69 Prior to this it was using the entire 16 bit value as the VLAN id and
70 incorrectly discarding packets. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for
71 reporting this issue and supplying its patch.
72 [ISC-Bugs #40591]
5cc6f201 73
e8e6768a
TM
74- Fixed several issues static analysis issues such as potential null
75 references, unchecked strdup returns. Thanks to Bill Parker (wp02855 at
76 gmail dot com) who identified these issues and supplied patches to
77 address them.
88c3ff5d 78 [ISC-Bugs #40754]
e8e6768a 79 [ISC-Bugs #40823]
88c3ff5d 80
555093da
TM
81- Corrected compilation errors that prohibited building the server
82 and its ATF unit tests when failover is disabled.
83 [ISC-Bugs #40372]
f10cbbfa 84
555093da
TM
85- Added the lease address to the end of the debug level log message
86 emitted when an existing lease is renewed within the dhcp-cache-threshold.
87 Thanks to Nathan Neulinger at Missouri S&T for suggesting the change.
88 [ISC-Bugs #40598]
5fc79cfd 89
555093da
TM
90- Added dhcpv6 and delayed-ack to settings listed in the "Features:"
91 section of the configure script output. Additionally, all of the
92 features reported on will now always show either a "yes" or "no"
93 value. Prior to this features left to their default setting would
94 not show a value.
95 [ISC-Bugs #40381]
96
97- Added a parameter, authoring-byte-order, to the lease file. This value
98 is automatically added to the top of new lease files by the server and
99 indicates the internal byte order (big endian or little endian) of the
100 server. This permits lease files generated on a server with one form of
101 byte order to be used on a server with the opposite form. Our thanks to
102 Timothe Litt for calling this to our attention and for the suggestions
103 he provided.
104 [ISC-Bugs #38396]
646acb59 105
d1d1da8f 106- Fixed a small memory leak in the DHCPv6 version of the client code.
18ba0ff3
SR
107 This is unlikely to cause significant issues in actual use.
108 [ISC-Bugs #40990]
109
ce29e695
TM
110- Corrected a few minor memory leaks in omapi's dereferencing of
111 host objects. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for reporting
112 the issue and supplying the patches.
113 [ISC-Bugs #33990]
75ab52e1 114 [ISC-Bugs #41325]
ce29e695 115
d1d1da8f
FD
116- Cleaned up some of the Make infrastructure to make --with-libbind
117 work better. Though it still only works with an absolute path.
118 [ISC-Bugs #39210]
119
120- Made the embedded bind libraries able to be cross compiled
121 (please refer to the bind9 documentation to learn how to cross
122 compile DHCP and its bind library dependency).
123 [ISC-Bugs #38836]
124
c88dfebd
SR
125- Update the client code to better support getting IA_NAs and IA_PDs
126 in the same packet, see RFC7550 for some discussion.
127 [ISC-Bugs #40190]
128
b7311aae 129- Update the bounds checking when receiving a packet.
4ce21cb6
SR
130 Thanks to Sebastian Poehn from Sophos for the bug report and a suggested
131 patch.
132 [ISC-Bugs #41267]
825c459c 133 CVE: CVE-2015-8605
4ce21cb6 134
b2cb745b
SR
135- When handling an incorrect command line for dhcpd, dhclient or dhcrelay
136 print out a specific error message about the first error in addition
137 to the usage string. This may be disabled by editing includes/site.h.
138 [ISC-Bugs #40321]
eda1d0aa 139 [ISC-Bugs #41454]
b2cb745b 140
cacce092
TM
141- The configure script will now exit with an error message if it cannot find
142 a GNU-style make tool (needed when building BIND libraries) or pkg-config
143 (needed to locate ATF used for building unit tests). Prior to this the
144 script would exit indicating success causing subsequent attempts to build
145 the software to fail.
146 [ISC-Bugs #40371]
147
4ced250f
SR
148- Properly terminate strings before passing them to regex and fix
149 a boudnary error when creating certain new data strings.
150 Thanks to Andrey Jr. Melnikov for the bug report.
151 [ISC-Bugs #41217]
152
a3471269
TM
153- Option expressions, such as prepend and append, are now supported when
154 running dhclient for IPv6. Prior to this such statements in the
155 client configuration file would be parsed but have no affect. Thanks
156 to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for reporting the issue.
157 [ISC-Bugs #39952]
158
3e3b5257
TM
159- A failover primary server will now accept a binding status update from the
160 secondary which transitions a lease from ACTIVE to ABANDONED. This accounts
161 for instances in which a client declines a lease and only the secondary
162 server receives it. Prior to this the primary server would reject such an
163 update as an "invalid state transition".
fd1ba363 164 [ISC_BUGS #25189]
3e3b5257 165
ba4c704d
SR
166- Properly allocate memory for a bpf filter.
167 Thanks to Bill Parker (wp02855 at gmail dot com) who identified this issue.
168 [ISC-Bugs #41485]
169
b1eea858
SR
170- Updated contrib/dhcp-lease-list.pl to handle garbage in the oui file better
171 and to print out the hostnames a bit better.
0958dea4 172 Thanks to Antoine Beaupré from Debian for the suggested patch.
b1eea858
SR
173 [ISC-Bugs #41288]
174
36c4a037
SR
175- The DHCPv6 server now handles long valid and preferred lease times better.
176 Values that would cause the internal end time of the lease to wrap are
177 modified to work as infinite.
178 [ISC-Bugs #40773]
179
41b5a1a6
FD
180- Updated support for cross compiling by allowing the library archiver
181 to be set at configure time via the environment variable 'AR'.
182 [ISC-Bugs #41536]
183
62a9eb91
TM
184- The server will now match DHCPv6 relayed clients to host declarations
185 which include the "hardware" statement, if the relay connected to the
186 client supplies the client's hardware address via client-linklayer-address
187 option as per RFC 6939.
188 [ISC-Bugs #40334]
189
b7311aae
FD
190- Allow a filename to be specified instead of /dev/random during
191 configuration. This is passed to the BIND configuration to allow
192 for cross compilation.
193 [ISC-Bugs #33835]
194
1bfdeaae
SR
195- Add more option definitions.
196 [ISC-Bugs #40562]
197
1d3fc4d0
SR
198- Correct outputting of long lines in the lease file when writing
199 a lease that includes long strings in an execute statement.
200 [ISC-Bugs #40994]
201
68b5d395
TM
202- The server will now correctly treat a lease as reserved when the client
203 requests an infinite lease time (i.e. OxFFFFFFFF) and "infinite-is-reserved"
204 is enabled. Prior to this the server would halt. In addition, corrections
205 were made to the server to allow a lease's flags field to be set via omapi.
206 Prior to this, the server, depending on the host architecture, would
207 incorrectly parse the new flags value from the omapi message.
208 [ISC-Bugs #31179]
209
f704712e
FD
210- ISC DHCP can now be configured and built from a directory other than
211 the top level source directory. Note that "make distcheck" uses this
212 feature.
213 [ISC-Bugs #39262]
214
7da1ac2b 215 Changes since 4.3.3b1
ba4c704d 216
5fc79cfd
TM
217- None
218
b31fe1d5
TM
219 Changes since 4.3.2
220
bc549dd9
SR
221- The server now does a better check to see if it can allocate the memory
222 for large blocks of v4 leases and should provide a slightly better error
223 message. Note well: the server pre-allocates v4 addresses, if you use
224 a large range, such as a /8, the server will attempt to use a large
225 amount of memory and may not start if there either isn't enough memory
226 or the size exceeds what the code supports.
227 [ISC-Bugs #38637]
228
b31fe1d5
TM
229- The server will now reject unicast Request, Renew, Decline, and Release
230 messages from a client unless the server would have sent that client the
231 dhcp6.unicast option. This behavior is in compliance with paragraph 1 in
232 each of the sections 18.2,1, 18.2.3, 18.2.6, and 18.2.7 of RFC 3315. Prior
233 to this, the server would simply accept the messages. Now, in order for
234 the server to accept such a message, the server configuration must include
235 the dhcp6.unicast option either globally or within the shared network to
236 which the requested lease belongs. In other words, the server will map
237 the first IA_XX address found within the client message to a shared-network
238 and look for the presence of the unicast option there and then globally.
ba21bb1b
TM
239 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for this issue and his patch which
240 inspired the fix.
b31fe1d5 241 [ISC-Bugs #21235]
c2419dca 242
20c0fdc7
SR
243- The ATF (Automated Testing Framework) tools used for optional unit tests
244 can now be built from its embedded sources in bind, solving the
245 atf-run / atf-report issue with recent (>= 0.20) versions of ATF.
246 The new configuration option is "./configure --with-atf=bind".
1b245c91 247 [ISC-Bugs #38754, #39300]
20c0fdc7 248
1c0b7d66
SR
249- Corrected a compilation error introduced by the fix for ISC-Bugs #22806.
250 On older linuxes that do not include the tpacket_auxdata structure don't
251 bother allocating the cmsgbuf as it isn't necessary and we don't have
252 a proper length for it.
253 [ISC-Bugs #39209]
254
da88d34b
SR
255- Remove the dst directory. This was replaced in 4.2.0 with the dst
256 code from the Bind libraries but we continued to include it for
257 backwards compatibility. As we have now released 4.3.x it seems
258 reasonable to remove it.
259 [ISC-Buts #39019]
260
90a062fb 261- Write out the DUID server id on startup in all cases, previously if it
cacce092 262 was read in from server-duid option in the config or lease files for
90a062fb
SR
263 DHCPv4 it would not be written to the new lease file.
264 [ISC-Bugs #37791]
265
90fdd337
SR
266- When parsing dates for leases convert dates past 2038 to "never".
267 This avoids problems with integer overflows in the date and time
268 handling code for people that decide to use very large lease times
269 or add a lease entry with a date far in the future.
270 [ISC-Bugs #33056]
271
70689a73
SR
272- Leave the siaddr field clear when sending a NACK as per RFC 2131
273 table 3.
274 [ISC-Bugs #38769]
275
30dcfbf6
SR
276- In the client don't send expired addresses to the script as part of
277 the binding process. Thanks to Sven Trenkel at Google for reporting
278 the issue and suggesting the patch.
279 [ISC-Bugs #38631]
280
4136513e
SR
281- While parsing IPv6 addresses treat "add" as part of the address instead
282 of as a token.
283 [ISC-Bugs #39529]
284
3933e2aa
SR
285- Add support for accessing the v4 lease queues (active, free etc) in a
286 binary fashion instead of needing to walk through a linear list to
287 insert, find or remove an entry from the queues. In addition add a
288 compile time option "--enable-binary-leases" to enable the new code
289 or to continue using the old code. The old code is the default.
290 Thanks to Fernando Soto from BlueCat Networks for the patch.
291 [ISC-Bugs #39078]
292
cca6a648 293- Delayed-ack now works properly with Failover. Prior to this, bind updates
294 post startup were being queued but never delivered. Among other things, this
295 was causing leases to not transition from expired or released to free.
296 [ISC-Bugs #31474]
297
46d31b51
SR
298- Clean up parsing of v6 lease files a bit to avoid infinite loops if the
299 lease file is corrupt in certain ways.
300 [ISC-Bugs #39760]
301
cca6a648 302- Corrected a crash in dhclient that occurs during lease renewal if the
68b3e7f2
TM
303 client is performing its own DNS updates. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat
304 for the bug report.
cca6a648 305 [ISC-Bugs #38639]
306
ff1b3d04
TM
307- Corrected an issue in v6 lease file parsing. Prior to this, when encountering
308 a lease with an address for which no configured pool exists, the server was
309 declaring the lease file corrupt and incorrectly skipping over the subsequent
310 entry in the file. The server will now emit a log message indicating that
311 no pool was found for the address (or prefix) and correctly resume parsing
cacce092 312 with the next entry in the lease file. Our thanks to Michal Žejdl for
673137b1 313 reporting the issue.
ff1b3d04
TM
314 [ISC-Bugs #39314]
315
34711bb7
SR
316- Be more liberal in finding a subnet group associated with a static
317 prefix. When we added the class matching code for v6 we also added
318 a requirement that the static prefix must be within a subnet the
319 client was in, in order to find the proper statements. We now
320 look for a subnet based on the prefix, failing that on the static
321 address for the client and failing that on the shared network
322 itself.
323 [ISC-Bugs #38329]
324
45c332f0
SR
325- Add a new action expression "parse_vendor_options", which can be used
326 to parse a vendor-encapsualted-option received by the server based on
327 the encoding specified by the vendor-option-space statement.
328 [ISC-Bugs #36449]
329
7a6c9368
SR
330- Enhance the PARANOIA patch to include fchown() the lease file to
331 allow it to be manipulated after the server does a chown().
332 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the patch.
333 [ISC-Bugs #36978]
334
7ef55702
SR
335- Relax the requirement that prefix pools must be within the subnet.
336 This was added in as part of #32453 in order to avoid configuration
337 mistakes but is being removed as prefixes aren't required to be
338 within the same subnet and many people configure them in that fashion.
339 [ISC-Bugs #40077]
340
6a39bcf0
TM
341- Fixed a server crash that could occur when the server attempts to remove
342 the billing class from the last lease billed to a dynamic class after said
6c8eb544
TM
343 class has been deleted. Our thanks to Lasse Pesonen for reporting the
344 issue.

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

382
383- Corrected a compilation error introduced by the fix for ISC-Bugs #37415.
384 The error occurs on Linux variants that do not support VLAN tag information
385 in packet auxiliary data. The configure script now only enables inclusion
386 of the VLAN tag-based logic if it is supported by the underlying OS.

45adf35c 391- Specifying the option, --disable-debug, on the configure script command line
4e1bf548 392 now disables debug features. Prior to this, specifying --disable-debug
112d76f6
TM
393 incorrectly enabled debug features. Thanks to Gustavo Zacarias for reporting
394 the issue.
4e1bf548 395 [ISC-Bugs #37780]
4d9b81fc 396
9a111ee8
TM
397- Unit test execution now uses a path augmented during configuration
398 processing of the --with-atf option to locate ATF runtime tools, atf-run
399 and atf-report. For most installations of ATF, this should alleviate the
400 need to manually include them in the PATH, as was formerly required.
401 If the configure script cannot locate the tools it will emit a warning,
402 informing the user that the tools must be in the PATH when running unit
403 tests.
404 Secondly, please note that "make check" will now exit with a failure status
405 code (non-zero) if one or more unit tests fail. This means that invoking
406 "make check" from an upper level directory will cause the make process to
407 STOP after the first test subdirectory with failed test(s). To force all
408 tests in all subdirectories to run, regardless of individual test outcome,
409 use the command "make -k check".

446 external programs required the older versions of the macro. They
447 have been #ifdeffed for now and will be removed at a future date.
448 See site.h for the #define to include them again, but you should

477- Added the echo-client-id configuration parameter to the server configuration.
478 The server now supports RFC 6842 compliant behavior by setting a new
479 configuration parameter, echo-client-id. When enabled, the server will
480 include the client identifier option (Option code 61) if received, in its
481 responses. The server identifier returned in NAKs (if enabled) will now
482 be the globally defined value (if one) if the server cannot attribute the

499 the primary to accept the secondary moving from POTENTIAL-CONFLICT to

506- By default, the server will now choose the value to use in the forward DNS
507 name from the following in order of preference:
508
509 1. FQDN option if provided by the client
510 2. Host name option if provided by the client
511 3. Configured option host-name if defined
512
513 As before, this may be overridden by defining ddns-hostname to the desired
514 value (or expression). In addition, the server logic has been extended to
515 use the value of the host name declaration if use-host-decl-names is enabled
516 and no other value is available.

ebb1d91e 534 DHCP REQUESTs against the server's id before processing the request.
7116a34f

535 Formerly, enabling this behavior was done at compilation time through

TM
540- During startup, when the server encounters a lease whose binding state is
541 FTS_BACKUP but whose pool has no configured failover peer, it will reset the
542 lease's binding state to FTS_FREE. This allows the leases to be reclaimed
543 by the server after a pool's configuration has changed from failover to
544 standalone. Prior to this such leases would remain stuck in the backup state
545 making them unavailable for assignment. Note this conversion will occur
546 whether or not the server is compiled for failover.

576- Modified linux packet handling such that packets received via VLAN are now
577 seen only by the VLAN interface. Prior to this, such packets were seen by

589 of the total number of, in-use, and abandoned addresses in a shared subnet
590 when the server finds no addresses available for a given DUID. Lastly,
591 threshold logging is now automatically disabled for shared subnets whose
592 total number of possible addresses exceeds (2^64)-1.

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

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

51b8a8a0
SR
778
779- If a client renews before 'dhcp-cache-threshold' percent of its lease
780 has elapsed (default 25%), the server will reuse the allocated lease
781 (provide a lease within the currently allocated lease-time) rather
782 than extend or renew the lease. This absolves the server of needing
783 to perform an fsync() operation on the lease database before reply,
784 which improves performance. [ISC-Bugs #22228]
80778e94 785 Updated this patch to support asynchronous DDNS. If the server is
adb95d23 786 attempting to do DDNS on a lease it should be updated and written to
4809ef5c 787 disk even if that wouldn't be necessary due to the thresholding.

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

831 to serve. One statement is emitted after the server has finished
832 reading its files and is about to enter the dispatch loop.
833 This is "Server starting service.".
834 The second is emitted when a server determines that both it and
835 its failover peer are in the normal state.
836 This is "failover peer <name>: Both servers normal."

839- Add support for accessing options from v6 relays. The v6relay
840 statement allows the administrator to choose which relay to
841 use when searching for an option, see the dhcp-options man page

e54ff84f 847- When doing DDNS if there isn't an appropriate zone statement attempt
80778e94 848 to find a reasonable nameserver via a DNS resolver. This restores
e54ff84f
SR
849 some functionality that was lost in the transition to asynchronous
850 DDNS. Due to the lack of security and increase in fragility of the
851 system when using this feature we strongly recommend the use of
852 appropriate zone statements rather than using this functionality.

SR
855- Add support for specifying the address from which to send
856 DDNS updates on the DHCP server. There are two new options
857 "ddns-local-address4" and "ddns-local-address6" that each take
858 one instance of their respective address types.

861- Add ignore-client-uids option in the server. This option causes
862 the server to not record a client's uid in its lease. This
863 violates the specification but may also be useful when a client

01a44a77 893- Cleaned up some compiler warnings
7dc4e69c 894
01a44a77
SR
895- An optimization described in the failover protocol draft is now included,
896 which permits a DHCP server operating in communications-interrupted state
897 to 'rewind' a lease to the state most recently transmitted to its peer,
898 greatly increasing a server's endurance in communications-interrupted.
899 This is supported using a new 'rewind state' record on the dhcpd.leases
900 entry for each lease.

d0a10f6a 903
01a44a77

904- Update the fsync code to work with the changes to the DDNS code. It now
905 uses a timer instead of noticing if there are no more packets to process.
dc9d7b08 906
01a44a77
SR
907- When constructing the DNS name structure from a text string append
908 the root to relative names. This satisfies a requirement in the DNS
909 library that names be absolute instead of relative and prevents DHCP
910 from crashing. [ISC-Bugs #21054]

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

925! Accept a client id of length 0 while hashing. Previously the server would
926 exit if it attempted to hash a zero length client id, providing attackers

932- Modify the exception handling for initial context creation. Previously
933 we would try and clean up before exiting. This could present problems
934 when the cleanup required part of the context that wasn't available. It
935 also didn't do much as we exited afterwards anyway. Now we simply log
936 the error and exit. [ISC-Bugs #21093]

01a44a77
SR
938- A bug was fixed that could cause the DHCPv6 server to advertise/assign a
939 previously allocated (active) lease to a client that has changed subnets,
940 despite being on different shared networks. Dynamic prefixes specifically
941 allocated in shared networks also now are not offered if the client has
942 moved. [ISC-Bugs #21152]

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

1073- Restore printing of values in omshell to the style pre 21585. For
1074 21585 we changed the print routines to always display time values

1421! Previously the server code was relaxed to allow packets with zero
1422 length client ids to be processed. Under some situations use of
1423 zero length client ids can cause the server to go into an infinite
1424 loop. As such ids are not valid according to RFC 2132 section 9.14
1425 the server no longer accepts them. Client ids with a length of 1
1426 are also invalid but the server still accepts them in order to
1427 minimize disruption. The restriction will likely be tightened in
1428 the future to disallow ids with a length of 1.

1591- Failover port configuration can now be left to defaults (port 647) as
1592 described in the -12 revision of the Failover draft (and assigned by
4b97eaff 1593 IANA). Thanks in part to a patch from David Cantrell at Red Hat.

1595- If configured, dhclient may now transmit to an anycast MAC address,
1596 rather than using a broadcast address. Thanks to a patch from David
1597 Cantrell at Red Hat.

PS
1602- Added client -D option to specify DUID type to send.
1603
9e3eb22a
DH
1604- A new failover configuration parameter has been introduced for those
1605 environments where DHCP servers can be reasonably guaranteed to be
1606 "down" when the failover TCP socket is severed, "auto-partner-down".
1607 This parameter is not generally safe, and by default is disabled, so
1608 please carefully review the documentation of this parameter in the
1609 dhcpd.conf(5) manpage before determining to use it yourself.
1610
33ea4622
DH
1611- Added a configuration function, 'gethostname()', which calls the system
1612 function of the same name and presents the results as a data expression.
1613 This function can be used to incorporate the system level hostname of
1614 the system the DHCP software is operating on in responses or queries (such
1615 as including a failover partner's hostname in a dhcp message or binding
1616 scope, or having a DHCP client send any system hostname in the host-name or
1617 FQDN options by default).
1618
5a671e87
DH
1619- The dhcp-renewal-time and dhcp-rebinding-time options may now be configured
1620 for DHCPv4 operation and used independently of the dhcp-lease-time
1621 calculations. Invalid renew and rebinding times (e.g., greater than the
1622 determined lease time) are omitted.
1623
adb95d23 1624- Processing the DHCP to DNS server transactions in an asynchronous fashion,
45adf35c 1625 the DHCP server or client can now continue with its processing while
98bf1607 1626 awaiting replies from the DNS server.
c900c5b2
DH
1627
1628- The 'hardware [ethernet|etc] ...;' parameter in host records has been
1629 extended to attempt to match DHCPv6 clients by the last octets of a
1630 DUID-LL or DUID-LLT provided by the client.

47e6eb82
DH
1638- The notorious 'option <unknown> ... larger than buffer' log line,
1639 which is seen in some malformed DHCP client packets, was modified.
1640 It now logs the universe name, and does not log the length values
1641 (which are bogus corruption read from the packet anyway). It also
1642 carries a hopefully more useful explanation.

1644- Suppress spurious warnings from configure about --datarootdir

DH
1646- A bug was fixed that caused the server not to answer some valid Solicit
1647 and Request packets, if the dynamic range covering any requested addresses
1648 had been deleted from configuration.

cd51403d
SR
1650- Update the code to deal with GCC 4.3. This included two sets of changes.
1651 The first is to the configuration files to include the use of
571c38b0 1652 AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS. The second is to deal with return values that
cd51403d

1668 result in an erroneous error log message ('garbage in format string').
1669
f9453d21
DH
1670- A bug in DLPI packet transmission (Solaris, HP/UX) that caused the server
1671 to stop receiving packets is fixed. The same fix also means that the MAC
1672 address will no longer appear 'bogus' on DLPI-based systems.
1673
1674- A bug in select handling was discovered where the results of one select()
1675 call were discarded, causing the server to process the next select() call
1676 and use more system calls than required. This has been repaired - the
1677 sockets will be handled after the first return from select(), resulting in
1678 fewer system calls.
1679
a3dcc0b1
DH
1680- The update-conflict-detection feature would leave an FQDN updated without
1681 a DHCID (still currently implemented as a TXT RR). This would cause later
1682 expiration or release events to fail to remove the domain name. The feature
1683 now also inserts the client's up to date DHCID record, so records may safely
1684 be removed at expiration or release time. Thanks to a patch submitted by
1685 Christof Chen.
1686
95fd7038
DH
1687- Memory leak in the load_balance_mine() function is fixed. This would
1688 leak ~20-30 octets per DHCPDISCOVER packet while failover was in use
1689 and in normal state.
1690

1692 DEBUG #defines in includes/site.h.

PS
1694- Fixed Linux client script 'unary operator expected' errors with DHCPv6.

1697 to be double-quoted. Also allow server-provided hostname to
1698 override hostnames 'localhost' and '(none)'.

DH
1703- Compilation on Solaris with USE_SOCKETS defined in includes/site.h has
1704 been repaired. Other USE_ overrides should work better.
1705
1706- A check for the local flavor of IFNAMSIZ had a broken 'else' condition,
1707 that probably still resulted in the correct behaviour (but wouldn't use
1708 a larger defined value provided by the host OS).
1709
350576c5
DH
1710- Fixed a bug where an OMAPI socket disconnection message would not result
1711 in scheduling a failover reconnection, if the link had not negotiated a
1712 failover connect yet (e.g.: connection refused, asynch socket connect()
1713 timeouts).

1716 in failover state records.

8a4e543b
DH
1718! A stack overflow vulnerability was fixed in dhclient that could allow
1719 remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands as root on the system,
1720 or simply terminate the client, by providing an over-long subnet-mask
1b12d999 1721 option. CERT VU#410676 - CVE-2009-0692

1726- Versions 3.0.x syntax with multiple name->code option definitions is now
1727 supported. Note that, similarly to 3.0.x, for by-code lookups only the
1728 last option definition is used.

PS
1730- Fixed a bug where a time difference of greater than 60 seconds between a
1731 failover pair could cause the primary to crash on contact with the
1732 secondary. Thanks to a patch from Steinar Haug.

b8d45c67
DH
1737- Secondary servers in a failover pair will now perform ddns removals if
1738 they had performed ddns updates on a lease that is expiring, or was
1739 released through the primary. As part of the same fix, stale binding scopes
1740 will now be removed if a change in identity of a lease's active client is
1741 detected, rather than simply if a lease is noticed to have expired (which it
1742 may have expired without a failover server noticing in some situations).
1743
583c1c16
DH
1744- A patch supplied by David Cantrell at RedHat was applied that detects
1745 invalid calling parameters given to the ns_name_ntop() function.
1746 Specifically, it detects if the caller passed a pointer and size pair
1747 that causes the pointer to integer-wrap past zero.
1748
e4e3a2ab
DH
1749! Fixed a fenceposting bug when a client had two host records configured,
1750 one using 'uid' and the other using 'hardware ethernet'. CVE-2009-1892
95f5d38c 1751
875e99dc
SR
1752- Fixed the check in the dhcp_interface_signal_handler routine to verify
1753 the existence of the linked signal handler before calling it.
1754
2267da84
DH
1755- Both host and subnet6 configuration groups are now included whether a
1756 fixed-address6 (DHCPv6) is in use or not. Host scoped configuration takes
1757 precedence. This fixes two bugs, one where host scoped configuration
1758 would not be included from a non-fixed-address6 host record, and the equal
1759 and opposite bug where subnet6 scoped configuration would not be used when
571c38b0 1760 over-riding values were not present in a matching fixed-address6 host
2267da84
DH
1761 configuration.

cd3f0b9b
DH
1763- ./configure now checks to ensure the intX_t and u_intX_t types are defined,
1764 correcting a compilation failure when using Sun's compiler.
1765
0493fdca
SR
1766- Modified the handling of a connection to avoid releasing the omapi io
1767 object for the connection while it is still in use. One symptom from
1768 this error was a segfault when a failover secondary attempted to connect
1769 to the failover primary if their clocks were not synchronized.
1770
95bba8b6
SR
1771- Clean up to allow compilation with gcc 2.95.4 on FreeBSD. Remove an
1772 extra semi-colon from common/dns.c and moved setting a variable to NULL
1773 in server/dhcpv6.c to allow the compiler to decide that the variable
9a111ee8 1774 was always properly set.

1793 and not by failover binding updates (taking on the peer's CLTT).
1794

DH
1800- Delayed-ack is now a compile-time option, compiled out by default.
1801 This feature is simply too experimental for right now, and causes
1802 some problems to some failover installations. We will revisit this
1803 in future releases.
1804
f1672d89
DH
1805- The !inet_pton() call in res_mkupdrec was adjusted to '<= 0' as
1806 inet_pton returns either 1, 0, or -1.

1808- A dhclient-script for MacOS X has been included, which enables
1809 'dhclient -6' support.

DH
1811- DDNS removal routines were updated so that the DHCID is not removed until
1812 the client has been deprived of all A and AAAA records (not only the last
1813 one of either of those). This resolves a bug where dual stack clients
1814 would not be able to regain their names after either expiration event.

7d6180be
DH
1880- A bug in subnet6 parsing where options contained in subnet6 clauses would
1881 not be applied to clients addressed within that network was repaired.
1882
1883- When configuring a "subnet {}" or "subnet6 {}" without an explicit
1884 shared-network enclosing it, the DHCP software would synthesize a
1885 shared-network to contain the subnet. However, all configuration
1886 parameters within the subnet more intuitively belong "to any client
1887 on that interface", or rather the synthesized shared-network. So,
1888 when a shared-network is synthesized, it is used to contain the
1889 configuration present inside the subnet {} clause. This means that
1890 the configuration will be valid for all clients on that network, not
1891 just those addressed out of the stated subnet. If you intended the
1892 opposite, the workaround is to explicitly configure an empty
1893 shared-network.
1894
1895- A bug was fixed where Information-Request processing was not sourcing
1896 configured option values.
1897
1898- A warning was added since the DHCPv6 processing software does not yet
1899 support class statements.

1907 by the OS.
1908

01a54c17
EH
1951- The dhclient-script was updated to create a host route for the default
1952 gateway if the supplied subnet mask for an IPv4 address was a /32. This
1953 allows the client to work in 'captive' network environments, where the
1954 operator does not want clients to crosstalk directly.
1955
adb95d23 1956- MINUS tokens should be parsable again.
01a54c17
EH
1957
1958- Multiple (up to "delayed-ack x;" maximum) DHCPv4 packets are now queued and
1959 released in bursts after single fsync() events when the upper limit is
1960 reached or if the receiving sockets go dry. The practical upshot is
1961 that fsync-coupled server performance is now multiplicitively increased.
1962 The default delayed ack limit is 28. Thanks entirely to a patch from
1963 Christof Chen.

1981- A bug in failover pool rebalancing that caused POOLREQ message ping-pongs
1982 was repaired.
1983
1984- A flaw in failover pool rebalancing that could cause POOLREQ messages to
1985 be sent outside of the min-balance/max-balance scheduled intervals has
1986 been repaired.
1987
1988- A cosmetic bug during potential-conflict recovery that caused the peer's
1989 'conflict-done' state message to be logged as 'unknown-state' has been
1990 repaired. It is now logged correctly.
1991
49f61135
DH
1992- A bug was fixed where the 'giaddr' may be used to find the client's subnet
1993 rather than its own 'ciaddr'.
1994
41d4652f
DH
1995- A log message was introduced to clarify the situation where a failover
1996 'address' parameter (the server's local address) did not resolve to an
1997 IPv4 address.
1998
2c9bf1f4
DH
1999- The minimum site code value was set to 224 in 3.1.0 to track RFC3942. This
2000 broke a lot of legacy site local configurations. The new code in place will
2001 track site local space minimum option codes and logs a warning to encourage
2002 updates and exploration of site local code migration problems. Option
2003 codes less than 128 in site local spaces remain inaccessible.
2004
2005- A possible relay agent option bug was repaired where random server
2006 initialization state may have been used to signal the relay agent
2007 information options sub-option code for the 'END' of the option space.

SK
2009- Fixes to allow code to compile and run on Solaris 9.
2010
c4d29896
SK
2011- Fixes to allow code to compile on Mac OS X Leopard (10.5).
2012
57fcb8d9
SK
2013- When server is configured with options that it overrides, a warning is
2014 issued when the configuration file is read, rather than at the time the
2015 option is overridden. This was important, because the warning was given
9a111ee8 2016 every time the option was overridden, which could create a lot of
57fcb8d9
SK
2017 unnecessary logging.
2018
219a65eb
DH
2019- Fixed a compilation problems on platforms that define a value for FDDI,
2020 which conflicts with a dhcp configuration syntax token by the same name.
2021
ffdf3c8c
DH
2022- When a failover server suspects it has encountered a peer running a
2023 version 3.0.x failover server, a warning that the failover wire protocol
2024 is incompatible is printed.
2025
2026- The failover server no longer issues a floating point error if it encounters
2027 a previously undefined option code.
2028

MA
2029- Fix startup error messages to report a missing "subnet6 declaration", rather
2030 than a missing "subnet declaration", when running as a DHCPv6 server.
2031
9a111ee8 2032- DHCPv6 client timestamp in DUID was based on the year 1970 rather
7e9f7a1b
FD
2033 than the year 2000.
2034
e2cfde76
FD
2035- Warn when attempting to use a hardware parameter in DHCPv6.
2036
cabdb9b1
FD
2037- DHCPv6 released resources are now marked as released by the client.

DH
2041 Changes since 4.0.0b3
2042
2043- The reverse dns name for PTR updates on IPv6 addresses has been fixed to
2044 use ip6.arpa. rather than default to in-addr.arpa and require user
2045 configuration.
76db44f9 2046
e32529a5
EH
2047- dhc6_lease_destroy() and dhc6_ia_destroy() now set lease and IA pointers
2048 to NULL after freeing, to prevent subsequent accesses to freed memory.
2049
9a111ee8 2050- The DHCPv6 server would not send the preference option unless the
76db44f9
SK
2051 client requested it, via the ORO. This has been fixed, so the DHCPv6
2052 server will always send the preference value if it is configured.
e4a6be15 2053
9a111ee8
TM
2054- When addresses were passed as hints to the server in an IA, they were
2055 incorrectly handled, sometimes being treated as an error. Now the
6f76de58
SK
2056 server will treat these as hints and ignore them if it cannot supply
2057 a requested address.
2058
703873ab
DH
2059- If the client had multiple addresses, and one expired (was not renewed
2060 by the server), the client would continue to attempt to renew the same
2061 old address over and over. Now, the client will omit any expired
2062 addresses from future Confirm, Renew, or Rebind messages.
2063
2064- dhclient -6 will now select renew/rebind timers based upon the longest
2065 address expiration time rather than the shortest expiration time, in
2066 order to avoid cascading renewals in the event a server elects not to
2067 extend one of multiple IAADDR leases.
2068
b024480e
DH
2069- The server now limits clients that request multiple addresses to one
2070 address per IA by default, which can be adjusted through the
2071 "limit-addrs-per-ia" configuration option.
2072
c0216cb7
DH
2073- The DHCPv6 client now issues fresh transaction IDs on Renew and Rebind
2074 message exchanges, rather than using the most recent ID.

2078- A bug was fixed in the dhclient-script for BSDs to correctly carry error
2079 codes through some conditions.

2081- The parsing of some options in the dhclient lease file, in particular
2082 the success DHCPv6 status-code, was fixed.

2084- A bug was fixed that caused the DHCPv6 ORO option to be corrupted with
2085 seemingly random values.

f8b3c6f4
DH
2089- ./configure now autodetects local database locations rather than trying
2090 to put dhcpd.leases and dhclient.leases in /usr/local/var/db, which no
2091 one ever has.
2092
9a111ee8
TM
2093- Regression fix for bug where server advertised a IPv6 address in
2094 response to a SOLICIT but would not return the address in response
b9137d42

2097- A bug was fixed where the DHCPv6 server puts the NoAddrsAvail status
2098 code in the IA_NA was fixed. The status code now appears in the root
2099 level.

b1d3778c
DH
2105- Relative time may now be used as a qualifier for 'allow' and 'deny' access
2106 control lists. These directives may be used to assist in re-addressing
2107 address pools without having to constantly reconfigure the server. Please
2108 see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more information on allow/deny 'after time' syntax.
2109 Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen.

DH
2111- The server will now include multiple IA_NA's and multiple IAADDRs within
2112 them, if advertised by the client. It still only seeks to allocate one
2113 new address.

f765ec36
SK
2115 Changes since 4.0.0b1
2116
75135a3f 2117- Use different paths for PID and lease files when running in DHCPv4
adb95d23 2118 or DHCPv6 mode, so that servers for both protocols can be run
75135a3f
EH
2119 simultaneously on a single interface.
2120
5c2d55c7
EH
2121- Fixed a buffer overflow error which could have allowed a denial
2122 of service under unusual server configurations
2123
2124- Eliminated a spurious error message from the client
2125
9a111ee8 2126- A number of bugs with the internal handling of lease state on the
f765ec36 2127 server have been fixed. Some of these could cause server crashes.
fa9b593d 2128
edb1283e
DH
2129- The peer_wants_leases() changes pulled up from 3.1.0 were corrected,
2130 'never used' leases will no longer consistently shift between servers
2131 on every pool rebalance run.

2133- sendmsg()/recvmsg() control buffers are now declared in such a way to
2134 ensure they are correctly aligned on all (esp. 64-bit) architectures.

2136- The client leasing subsystem was streamlined and corrected to account
2137 more closely for changes in client link attachment selection.

ab3a540f 2139 Changes since 4.0.0a3
763cba6b 2140
9a111ee8 2141- The DHCP server no longer requires a "ddns-update-style" statement,
884a458f
SK
2142 and now defaults to "none", which means DNS updates are disabled.
2143
fa9b593d
DH
2144- Log messages when failover peer names mismatch have been improved to
2145 point out the problem.
2146
9a111ee8 2147- Bug where server advertised a IPv6 address in response to a SOLICIT
1b5053b5
SK
2148 but would not return the address in response to a REQUEST. Thanks to
2149 Dennis Kou for finding the bug.

2152 reported independently by Jothilingam Vasu and Dennis Kou.
2153
eaf7eb17
DH
2154- Fixed a ./configure bug where compile tests were failing due to
2155 "-Werror" (unused variable) rather than the actual test failure. Lead
2156 to inconsistent and unworkable auto-configurations.
2157
109e00db
DH
2158- Compilation with DLPI and -Werror has been repaired.

9a111ee8 2160- Error in decoding IA_NA option if multiple interfaces are present
3ad9d48f
SK
2161 fixed by Marcus Goller.

8eab95f2
DH
2163- DHCPv6 server Confirm message processing has been enhanced - it no
2164 longer replies only to clients with host {} records, it now replies
2165 as directed in RFC3315 section 18.2.2 - that is, to all clients
2166 regardless of the existence of bindings.
2167
07b9a351
DH
2168- A core dump during expired lease cleanup has been repaired.
2169
7285af30
DH
2170- DDNS updates state information are now stored in 'binding scopes' that
2171 follow the leases through their lifecycles. This enables DDNS teardowns
2172 on leases that are assigned and expired inbetween a server restart (the
2173 state is recovered from dhcpd.leases). Arbitrary user-specified binding
2174 scopes ('set var = "value";') are not yet supported.

2191- DHCPv6 is now the default. You can disable DHCPv6 support using the
2192 "--disable-dhcpv6" flag when you run the configure script.

2194- An internal database inconsistency bug was repaired where the server
2195 would segfault if a client attempted to renew a lease that had been
2196 loaded from persistent storage.
2197
45d545f0 2198- 'request' and 'also request' syntaxes have been added to accommodate
0c20eab3
DH
2199 the DHCPv6 client configuration. 'send dhcp6.oro' is no longer
2200 necessary.
2201
9a111ee8
TM
2202- Bug fixed where configuration file parsing did not work with
2203 zero-length options; this made it impossible to set the
f800f4f6
SK
2204 rapid-commit option.

2221- Compilation on HP/UX has been repaired. The changes should generally
2222 apply to any architecture that supplies SIOCGLIFCONF but does not
2223 use 'struct lifconf' structures to pass values.

2259- Corrected some situations where variables might be used without being
2260 initialized.
2261
2262- Silenced several other compiler warnings.
2263
2264- Include the more standard sys/uio.h rather than rely upon other
f66f02cc
DH
2265 header files to include it (fixes a BSD 4.2 compile failure).
2266
2267- Duplicate dhclient-script updates for DHCPv6 to all provided scripts.
a512d11b 2268
4ba58919
DH
2269- DHCPv4 I/O methods that failed to sense hardware address were corrected.
2270
2271- DHCPv4 is now the default (as documented) rather than DHCPv6. The default
2272 was set to DHCPv6 to facilitate ease early development, and forgotten.
2273
2274- Corrected a segmentation violation in DHCPv4 socket processing.
2275
8ea19a71 2276- dhclient will now fork() into the background once it binds to an
45d545f0 2277 IPv6 address, or immediately if the -n flag is supplied.
8ea19a71
DH
2278
2279- -q is now the default behaviour on dhclient, with -d or -v enabling
2280 non-quiet (stderr logging) mode.
2281

2287
98bd7ca0
DH
2288 Changes since 3.1.0 (NEW FEATURES)
2289
2290- DHCPv6 Client and Server protocol support. Use '-6' to run the daemons
2291 as v6-only. Use '-4' to run the daemons as v4-only (default. There is
2292 no support currently for both.
2293
2294- Server support for multiple IA_NA options, containing at most one
2295 IAADDR option.
2296
2297- Client support for one IA_NA option, containing any number of IAADDR
2298 options.
2299
2300- Server support for the DHCPv6 Information-request message.
2301
2302- Inappropriate unicast DHCPv6 messages sent to the server are now
2303 discarded, and this has rearchitected the IO system slightly.
2304
2305- The DHCPv6 server DUID defaults to type 1, is persistently stored in
2306 the leases database, and can be over-ridden (either completely, or by
2307 specifying type 1 or type 2).
2308
2309- The server only uses Rapid-Commit if it has been configured with the
2310 Rapid-Commit option and the client requests it.
2311
2312- DDNS support. We now update AAAA records in the same place we would
2313 update A records, if we have an IPv6 address. We also generate IP6.ARPA
2314 style names for PTR records if we're dealing with an IPv6 address. Both
2315 A and AAAA updates are done using the same 'fqdn.' virtual option space
2316 (although the DHCPv4 FQDN and DHCPv6 FQDN options are formatted
2317 differently, they both use the same code here).
2318
2319- The Linux dhclient-script attempts to set and remove assigned addresses,
2320 and to configure /etc/resolv.conf from nameserver and domain name
2321 configurations. It can be extended to configure other parameters.
2322
2323- Initial DHCPv6 lease support.
2324
2325- The IO system now tracks all local IP addresses, so that the DHCP
2326 applications (particularly the dhcrelay) can discern between what frames
2327 were transmitted to it, and what frames are being carried through it which
2328 it should not intercept.
2329
1418fd11
DH
2330 Changes since 3.1.0 (Maintenance)
2331
2332- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for virgin leases always
2333 mapped to the primary. Virgin leases now have an interleaved preference
2334 between primary and secondary.
2335
2336- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for clients with no client
2337 identifier was sometimes mishashed to the peer. Load balancing during
2338 runtime and pool rebalancing were opposing.
2339
aa3e348e
DH
2340- An assertion in lease counting relating to reserved leases was repaired.
2341
e9c59645
DH
2342- The subnet-mask option inclusion now conforms with RFC2132 section 3.3;
2343 it will only appear prior to the routers option if it is present on the
2344 Parameter-Request-List. The subnet-mask option will also only be
2345 included by default (if it is not on the PRL) in response to DISCOVER
2346 or REQUEST messages.
2347
2348- The FQDN option is only supplied if the client supplied an FQDN option or
2349 if the FQDN option was explicitly requested on the PRL.

adb95d23 2355- The parse warning that 'deny dynamic bootp;' must be configured for
b9d0cc05
DH
2356 failover protected subnets was removed.
2357
a512cc3a
DH
2358 Changes since 3.1.0b2
2359
2360- Failover rebalance events no longer play ping pong with round errors
2361 (moving leases between free and back to backup where there are an
2362 odd number of leases).
2363
2364- The 'pool' log line has been split into two messages, one before the
2365 rebalance run, and one after.
2366
2367- Any queued BNDACKs are transmitted before transmitting new BNDUPDs.
2368 This enforces the correct sequence of events for the remote server
2369 processing these messages.
2370
fe5b0fdd 2371 Changes since 3.1.0b1

2374 objects.
2375
1ba87b37
EH
2376- A new server config option "fqdn-reply" specifies whether the server
2377 should send out option 81 (FQDN). Defaults to "on". If set to "off",
2378 the FQDN option is not sent, even if the client requested it. This is
2379 needed because some clients misbehave otherwise. Thanks to Christof Chen
2380 at Allianz.

a58da042
EH
2382- Allow trace output files (-tf option) to be overwritten, rather than
2383 crashing dhcpd if the file already exists
2384
61252edf
EH
2385- A bug was fixed that caused dhcpd to segfault if a pool was declared
2386 outside the scope of a subnet in dhcpd.conf.
2387
27837f95
DH
2388- Some uninitialized values were repaired in dhcpleasequery.c that
2389 caused the server to abort.
2390
4d2eaafb
DH
2391- A new server config option, 'do-reverse-updates', has been added
2392 which causes the server to abstain from performing updates on PTR
2393 records. Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen at Allianz.

2398- A bug in dhclient was repaired which caused it to send parameter request
2399 lists of 55 bytes in length no matter how long the declared PRL was.

2401- 'dhcp.c(3953): non-null pointer' has been repaired. This fixes a flaw
2402 wherein the DHCPv4 server may ignore a configured server-identifier.
2403
fc3b9c90
DH
2404- A flaw in failover startup sequences was repaired that sometimes left
2405 the primary DHCP server's pool rebalance schedules unscheduled.
2406
c9feb859
DH
2407- Corrected a flaw that broke encapsulated spaces included due to presence
2408 on the parameter request list.

SK
2410 Changes since 3.1.0a3
2411
2412- Some spelling fixes.

DH
2414 Changes since 3.1.0a2
2415
2416- A bug was fixed where attempting to permit leasequeries results in a
2417 fatal internal error, "Unable to find server option 49".
2418
85edef5c
DH
2419- A bug was fixed in dhclient rendering the textual output form of the
2420 domain-search option syntax.
2421
bdddcb7d
DH
2422 Changes since 3.1.0a1
2423
2424- A bug in the FQDN universe that added FQDN codes to the NWIP universe's
2425 hash table was repaired.
2426
616d67cb
DH
2427- The servers now try harder to transmit pending binding updates when
2428 entering normal state.
2429
2430- UPDREQ/UPDREQALL handling was optimized - it no longer dequeues and
2431 requeues all pending updates. This should reduce the number of spurious
66c8f734
DH
2432 'xid mismatch' log messages.
2433
2434- An option definition referencing leak was fixed, which resulted in early
2435 termination of dhclient upon the renewal event.
616d67cb 2436
6708d944
DH
2437- Some default hash table sizes were tweaked, some upwards, some downwards.
2438 3.1.0a1's tables resulted in a reduction in default server memory use.
2439 The new selected values provide more of a zero sum (increasing the size
2440 of tables likely to be populated, decreasing the size of tables unlikely).
2441
45d545f0 2442- Lease structures appear in three separate hashes: by IP address, by UID,
6708d944
DH
2443 and by hardware address. One type of table was used for all three, and
2444 improvements to IP address hashing were applied to all three (so UID and
2445 hardware addresses were treated like 4-byte integers). There are now two
2446 types of tables, and the uid/hw hashes use functions more appropriate
2447 to their needs.
2448
2449- The max-lease-misbalance percentage no longer causes scheduled rebalance
2450 runs to be skipped: it still governs the schedule, but every scheduled
2451 run will attempt balance.
2452
a7ee93fe
DH
2453- A segfault bug in recursive encapsulation support has been corrected.
2454
98311e4b
DH
2455 Changes since 3.0 (New Features)
2456
2457- A workaround for certain STSN servers that send a mangled domain-name
2458 option was introduced for dhclient. The client will now accept corrupted
2459 server responses, if they contain a valid DHCP_MESSAGE_TYPE (OFFER, ACK,
2460 or NAK). The server will continue to not accept corrupt client packets.
2461
98bd7ca0 2462- Support for 'reserved' (pseudo-static) and BOOTP leases via failover
a55ccdd0 2463 was introduced.
98311e4b
DH
2464
2465- Support for adding, removing, and managing class and subclass statements
2466 via OMAPI.
2467
a55ccdd0
DH
2468- The failover implementation was updated to comply with revision 12 of
2469 the protocol draft.
2470
98311e4b
DH
2471- 'make install' now creates the initial zero-length dhcpd.leases file if
2472 one does not already exist on the system.
2473
b43c87ad 2474- RFC3942 compliance, site-local option spaces start at 224 now, not 128.
b43c87ad 2475
0b17f049
DH
2476- The Load Balance Algorithm was misimplemented. The current implementation
2477 matches RFC 3074.
2478
2727c1cf
DH
2479- lcase() and ucase() configuration expressions have been added which adjust
2480 their arguments from upper to lower and lower to upper cases respectively.
2714a8ef 2481 Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
2727c1cf 2482
febbd402
DH
2483- The dhclient 'reject ...;' statement, which rejects leases given by named
2484 server-identifiers, now permits address ranges to be specified in CIDR
7d7073e7 2485 notation. Thanks to a patch from David Boyce.
febbd402 2486
ee912528
DH
2487- The subnet-mask option is now supplied by default, but at lowest
2488 priority. This helps a small minority of clients that provide parameter
2489 request lists, but do not list the subnet-mask option because they were
2490 designed to interoperate with a server that behaves in this manner.
2491
2492- The FQDN option is similarly supplied even if it does not appear on the
2493 parameter request list, but not to the exclusion of options that do
2494 appear at the parameter request list. Up until now it had ultimate
2495 priority over the client's parameter request list.
2496
f7fdb216 2497- Varying option space code and length bit widths (8/16/32) are now
51202707 2498 supported. This is a milestone in achieving RFC 3925 "VIVSO" and
f7fdb216
DH
2499 DHCPv6 support.
2500
5e864416
DH
2501- A new common (server or client) option, 'db-time-format local;', has
2502 been added which prints the local time in /var/db/dhcpd.leases rather
2503 than UTC. Thanks to a patch from Ken Lalonde.
2504
b500bd4c
DH
2505- Some patches to improve DHCP Server startup speed from Andrew Matheson
2506 have been incorporated.
2507
2426234f
DH
2508- Failover pairs now implement 'MAC Affinity' on leases moving from the
2509 active to free states. Leases that belonged to the failover secondary
2510 are moved to BACKUP state rather than FREE upon exiting EXPIRED state.
2511 If lease rebalancing must move leases, it tries first to move leases
2512 that belong to the peer in need.
2513
2514- The server no longer sends POOLREQ messages unless the pool is severely
2515 misbalanced in the peer's favor (see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more details).
2516
2517- Pool rebalance events no longer happen upon successfully allocating a
2518 lease. Instead, they happen on a schedule. See 'man dhcpd.conf' for the
2519 min-balance and max-balance statements for more information.
2520
334bf491
DH
2521- The DHCP Relay Agent Information Option / Link Selection Sub-Option
2522 is now supported. (See RFC3527 for details).
2523
3004bebf
DH
2524- A new DDNS related server option, update-conflict-detection, has been
2525 added. If this option is enabled, dhcpd will perform normal DHCID
2526 conflict resolution (the default). If this option is disabled, it will
2527 instead trust the assigned name implicitly (removing any other bindings
2528 on that name). This option has not been made available in dhclient.
2529
567e8561
DH
2530- In those cases where the DHCP software manufactures an IP header (to
2531 transmit via bpf, lpf, etc), the IP TTL the software selects has been
2532 increased from 16 to 128. This is intended to match Microsoft Windows
2533 DHCP Client behaviour, to increase compatibility.
2534
a396d25f
DH
2535- 'ignore client-updates;' now has behaviour that is different from
2536 'deny client-updates;'. The client's request is not truly ignored,
2537 rather it is encouraged. Should this value be configured, the server
2538 updates DNS as though client-updates were set to 'deny'. That is, it
2539 enters into DNS whatever it is configured to do already, provided it is
2540 configured to. Then it sends a response to the client that lets the
2541 client believe it is performing client updates (which it will), probably
2542 for a different name. In essence, this lets the client do as it will,
2543 ignoring this aspect of their request.
2544
dba5803b
DH
2545- Support for compressed 'domain name list' style DHCP option contents, and
2546 in particular the domain search option (#119) was added.
2547
41e45067 2548- The DHCP LEASEQUERY protocol as defined in RFC4388 is now implemented.
6d103865
SK
2549 LEASEQUERY lets you query the DHCP server for information about a lease,
2550 using either an IP address, MAC address, or client identifier. Thanks
2551 to a patch from Justin Haddad.
2552
41e45067
DH
2553- DHCPD is now RFC2131 section 4.1 compliant (broadcast to all-ones ip and
2554 ethernet mac address) on the SCO platform specifically without any strange
2555 ifconfig hacks. Many thanks go to the Kroger Co. for donating the
2556 hardware and funding the development.
6d103865 2557
b543fea9
DH
2558- A new common configuration executable statement, execute(), has been
2559 added. This permits dhcpd or dhclient to execute a named external
2560 program with command line arguments specified from other configuration
2561 language. Thanks to a patch written by Mattias Ronnblom, gotten to us
2562 via Robin Breathe.
2563
b22de500
DH
2564- A new dhcp server option 'adaptive-lease-time-threshold' has been added
2565 which causes the server to substantially reduce lease-times if there are
2566 few (configured percentage) remaining leases. Thanks to a patch submitted
2567 from Christof Chen.
2568
96bbe8c5
SK
2569- Encapsulated option spaces within encapsulated option spaces is now
2570 formally supported.
2571
b8221d95
DH
2572 Changes since 3.0.6rc1
2573
2574- supersede_lease() now requeues leases in their respective hardware
2575 address hash bucket. This mirrors client identifier behaviour.
2576
c1e6c832
DH
2577 Changes since 3.0.5
2578
f546c28b
DH
2579- Assorted fixes for broken network devices: Packet length is now
2580 determined from the IP header length field to finally calculate the
2581 UDP payload length, because some NIC drivers return more data than
5a22eb63 2582 they actually received.
f546c28b
DH
2583
2584- UDP packets are now stored in aligned data structures.
2585
c1e6c832
DH
2586- A logic error in omapi interface code was repaired that might result in
2587 incorrectly indicating 'up' state when any flags were set, rather than
23e10d37
DH
2588 specifically the INTERFACE_REQUESTED flag. Thanks to a patch from
2589 Jochen Voss which got to us via Andrew Pollock at Debian.
c1e6c832 2590
75ab3070
DH
2591- A reference leak on binding scopes set by ddns updates was repaired.
2592
d69fb6a8 2593- A memory leak in the minires_nsendsigned() function call was repaired.
23e10d37 2594 Effectively, this leaked ~176 bytes per DDNS update.
d69fb6a8 2595
02428754
DH
2596- In the case where an "L2" DHCP Relay Agent (one that does not set giaddr)
2597 was directly attached to the same broadcast domain as the DHCP server,
2598 the RFC3046 relay agent information option was not being returned to the
2599 relay in the server's replies. This was fixed; the dhcp server no longer
2600 requires the giaddr to reply with relay agent information. Note that
2601 this also improves compatibility with L2 devices that "intercept" DHCP
2602 packets and expect relay agent information even in unicast (renewal)
23e10d37
DH
2603 replies. Thanks to a patch from Pekka Silvonen.
2604
2605- A bug was fixed where the BOOTP header 'sname' field had a value, the
2606 copy written to persistent storage was actually the contents of the
2607 'file' field.
02428754 2608
ecde99a3
DH
2609- A bug was fixed where the nwip virtual option space was referencing
2610 the fqdn option's virtual option space's option cache.
2611
67674ffb
DH
2612- Timestamp parsing errors that indicated missing "minutes" fields rather
2613 than the actually missing "seconds" fields have been repaired thanks to
2614 a patch from Kevin Steves.
2615
830ebc4c
DH
2616- A grammar error in the dhclient.8 manpage was repaired thanks to a patch
2617 from Chris Wagner.
2618
c759db75
DH
2619- Several spelling typos were repaired, and some cross-references to other
2620 relevant documents were included in the manpages, thanks to a patch
2621 by Andrew Pollock which got to us via Tomas Pospisek.
2622
9aa3f3a5
DH
2623- Some bugs were fixed in the 'emergency relay agent options hologram'
2624 which is used to retain relay agent option contents from when the
2625 client was in INIT or REBIND states. This should solve problems where
2626 relay agent options were not echoed from the server, even when giaddr
2627 was set.
2628
3d0c598a
DH
2629- dhclient now closes its descriptor to dhclient.leases prior to executing
2630 dhclient-script. Thanks to a patch from Tomas Pospisek.
2631
d5b6835f
DH
2632- The server's "by client-id" and "by hardware address" hash table lists
2633 are now sorted according to the preference to re-allocate that lease to
2634 returning clients. This should eliminate pool starvation problems
2635 arising when "INIT" clients were given new leases rather than presently
2636 active ones.
2637
02428754 2638 Changes since 3.0.5rc1
0a73b7b6 2639
901306d5 2640- A bug was repaired in fixes to the dhclient, which sought to run the
0a73b7b6
SK
2641 dhclient-script with the 'EXPIRE' state should it receive a NAK in
2642 response to a REQUEST. The client now iterates the PREINIT state
2643 after the EXPIRE state, so that interfaces that might be configured
2644 'down' can be brought back 'up' and initialized.
2645
87a08ccc
DH
2646- DHCPINFORM handling for clients that properly set ciaddr and come to the
2647 server via a relay aget has been repaired.
2648
6da113fb
DH
2649 Changes since 3.0.4
2650
2651- A warning that host statements declared within subnet or shared-network
2652 scopes are actually global has been added.
2653
2654- The default minimum lease time (if min-lease-time was not specified)
2655 was raised from 0 to 300. 0 is not thought to be sensible, and is
2656 known to be damaging.
2657
2658- Added additional fatal error sanity checks surrounding lease binding
2659 state count calculations (free/active counts used for failover pool
2660 balancing).
2661
dcc557db
DH
2662- Some time value size fixes in 3.0.4 brought on from FreeBSD /usr/ports were
2663 misapplied to server values rather than client values. The server no longer
2664 advertises 8-byte lease-time options when on 64-bit platforms.
2665
1b2ab55f
DH
2666- A bug where leases not in ACTIVE state would get billed to billed classes
2667 (classes with lease limitations) was fixed. Non-active leases OFFERed
2668 to clients are no longer billed (but billing is checked before offering).
2669
e48891e8
DH
2670- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated in regard to the ddns-domainname
2671 configuration option - the default configuration and results should be
2672 more clear now.
2673
6cbc6629
DH
2674- If the dhclient were to receive a DHCPNAK while it was in the RENEW
2675 state (and consequently, had an active, 'bound' address and related
2676 configuration options), it would fail to 'tear down' this information
2677 before proceeding into INIT state. dhclient now iterates the dhclient-
2678 script with the 'EXPIRE' action to cause these teardowns prior to entering
1d3bfb17 2679 INIT state. Thanks to a patch from Chris Zimmerman.
6cbc6629 2680
c5fec5fa
DH
2681- The omapi.1 manpage had some formatting errors repaired thanks to a patch
2682 from Yoshihiko Sarumaru.
2683
33e1cb2b
DH
2684- A few lines of code that were failover-specific were moved within
2685 #if defined() clauses so that compilation without failover could be
2686 made possible.
2687
2bddf829
DH
2688- The log message emitted when the 'leased-address' value was not available
2689 in dhcpd.conf "executable statements" has been updated to be more helpful.
2690 Manpage information for this value has also been updated.
2691
87578987
DH
2692- Abandoned or dissociated (err condition) leases now remove any related
2693 dynamic dns bindings. Thanks to a patch from Patrick Schoo.
2694
e77c575f
DH
2695- Attempting to write a new lease file to replace a corrupt (due to
2696 encountering non-retryable errors during writing) lease file should
2697 no longer result in an infinite recursion.
2698
2178df03
DH
2699- Host declaration hardware addresses and client identifiers may only be
2700 configured once. dhcpd will now fail to load config files that specify
2701 multiple identifiers (previous versions would silently over-ride the
2702 value with the later configured value).
2703
d5341d9b
SK
2704- Several option codes that have been allocated since our last release
2705 have been named and documented.
2706
2707- Option names of the form "unknown-123" have been removed from the in-
2708 memory hash tables. In order to support options of these names that
2709 may appear in dhclient.leases or similar in previous versions, the
2710 parser will now find the new option code definition, or mock up a
2711 generic option code definition. This should result in a smooth
2712 transition from one name to the other, as the new name is used to
2713 write new output.
2714
6da113fb
DH
2715 Changes since 3.0.4rc1
2716
2717- The dhcp-options.5 manpage was updated to correct indentation errors
2718 thanks to a patch from Jean Delvare.
2719
2720 Changes since 3.0.4b3
2721
2722- Some manual pages were clarified pursuant to discussion on the dhcp-server
2723 mailing list.
2724
88cd8aca
DH
2725 Changes since 3.0.4b2
2726
45d545f0 2727- Null-termination sensing for certain clients that unfortunately require
88cd8aca
DH
2728 it in DHCPINFORM processing was repaired.
2729
2730- The host-name option and a few others were moved from "X" format to "t"
2731 format to be compatible with new NULL handling functions.
2732
2733- DHCPINFORM processing is a little more careful about return addressing
2734 its responses, or if responding via a relay. The INFORM related
2735 messages also log the 'effective client ip address' rather than the
2736 client's supplied ciaddr (since some clients produce null ciaddrs).
2737
2738- The server was inappropriately sending leases to the RESET state in the
2739 event that multiple active leases were found to match a singly-identified
2740 client. This was changed to RELEASED (by accepting a different, ACTIVE
2741 binding, the client is implicitly releasing its lease). This repairs a
2742 bug wherein secondary servers in failover pairs detecting this condition
2743 move leases to RESET, and primaries refuse to accept that state
2744 transition (properly).
2745
2746- The memset-after-dmalloc() changes made in 3.0.4b1 have been backed out.
2747
2748 Changes since 3.0.4b1
2749
2750- Command line parsing in omshell was repaired - it no longer closes
2751 STDIN after reading one line.
2752
2753- The resolver library no longer closes the /etc/resolv.conf file
2754 descriptor it opened twice.
2755
2756- Changes to trailing NULL removal in 't' option-atoms has been rethought,
2757 it now includes 'd' (domain name) types, and tries hard not to rewind an
2758 option beyond the start of the text field it is un-terminating.
2759
2760 Changes since 3.0.3
2761
2762- A DDNS update handling function was misusing the DNS error codes, rather
2763 than the internal generic result enumeration. The result is a confusing
2764 syslog line, logging the wrong condition.
2765
2766- The DHCP Server was not checking pool balance in the case where it brought
2767 a non-ACTIVE lease out of storage for a client that was returning to use
2768 a lease it once had long ago, and had since expired.
2769
2770- Failover peers no longer bother to look for free leases to allocate when
2771 they already found the client's ACTIVE lease. DISCOVERs are load balanced
98bd7ca0 2772 whether freely-allocated or not, unless the server doubts the peer has
88cd8aca
DH
2773 leases to allocate.
2774
2775- Fixed a bug in dhcrelay agent addition code that suppressed trailing
45d545f0 2776 PAD options - it was suppressing only one trailing PAD option, rather
88cd8aca
DH
2777 than the entire block of them.
2778
3a16098f
DH
2779! Fixed some unlikely overlapping-region memcpy() bugs in dhcrelay agent
2780 option addition and stripping code. Added a few sanity checks. Although
2781 highly improbable, due to requiring the reception of a DHCP datagram well
2782 in excess of all known to be used physical MTU limitations, it is possible
2783 this may have been used in a stack overflow security vulnerability. Thanks
2784 to a patch from infamous42md.
2785
2786! Added some sanity checks to OMAPI connection/authentication code.
2787 Although highly improbable, due to having to deliver in excess of 2^32
2788 bytes of data via the OMAPI channel, not to mention requiring dhcpd to
2789 be able to malloc() a memory region 2^32 bytes in size, it was possible
2790 this might have resulted in a heap overflow security vulnerability.
2791 Thanks to a patch from infamous42md.
88cd8aca
DH
2792
2793- dmalloc() memset()'s the non-debug (data) portion of the allocated
2794 memory to zero. Code that memset()'s the result returned by dmalloc() to
2795 zero is redundant. These redundancies were removed.
2796
2797- Some type declaration corrections to u_int16_t were made in common/tr.c
4b97eaff 2798 (Token Ring support) thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
88cd8aca
DH
2799
2800- A failover bug that was allowing leases that EXPIRED or were RELEASED
2801 where tsfp and tstp are identical timestamps to languish in these
2802 transitional states has been repaired. As a side effect, lease
2803 databases should be kept more consistent overall, not just for these
2804 transitional states.
2805
2806- If the lease db is deleted out from under the daemon, and it moves to rewrite
2807 the db, it will go ahead with the operation and move the new db into place
2808 once it detects the old db does not exist.
2809
2810- dhclient now ignores IRDA, SIT, and IEEE1394 network interfaces, as it
2811 is either nonsensical or (in the case of IEEE1394) is not known to support
2812 these interfaces. Thanks to Marius Gedminas and Andrew Pollock of Debian.
2813
2814- Some previously undocumented reasons for dhclient-script invoking has
45d545f0 2815 been documented in the dhclient-script.8 manpage.
88cd8aca
DH
2816
2817- Failover potential expiry calculations (TSTP) have been corrected. Results
2818 should be substantially more consistent, and proper given the constraints.
2819
2820- Adjusted lease state validation checks in potential-conflict, to
2821 account for possible clock skew similarly to normal state, and several
2822 previously illegal transitions were made legal (ex: active->released).
2823
2824- An impossible sanity check was removed from omapi/buffer.c, thanks to a
2825 patch from 'infamous42md'.
2826
2827- An OMAPI host/network byte order problem in lease time values has been
2828 repaired.
2829
2830- Several minor bugs, largely relating to treating 8-byte time values as
2831 4-byte entities, have been repaired after careful review of the FreeBSD
2832 ports collection's patch set. Thanks to the nameless entities who have
2833 contributed to the FreeBSD ports.
2834
2835- When writing a trace file, the file is now created with permissions 0600,
2836 to help administrators avoid accidentally publicising sensitive config
2837 data.
2838
2839- The calculation of the maximum size of DHCP packets no longer includes
2840 Ethernet framing overhead. The result is that the 'Maximum Message
2841 Size' option advertised by clients, or the default value 576, is no
2842 longer reduced by 14 bytes, and instead directly reflects the IP level
2843 MTU (and the default, minimum allowed IP MTU of 576).
2844
2845- The special status of RELEASED/EXPIRED/RESET leases when a server
2846 is operating in partner-down was fixed. It no longer requires a
2847 lease be twice the MCLT beyond STOS to 'reallocate', and the expiry
2848 event to turn these into FREE leases without peer acknowledgement
2849 (after STOS+MCLT) has been repaired.
2850
2851- Compilation on older Solaris systems (lacking /usr/include/sys/int_types.h)
2852 has been repaired.
2853
2854- "append"ing a string onto the end of a "t" type option (such as the
2855 domain-name field) that had been improperly NULL-terminated by the
2856 DHCP server will no longer result in a truncated string containing
2857 only the option from the server, and not the expected appended value.
4b97eaff 2858 Thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.

DH
2859
2860- File handlers on configuration state (config files and lease dbs) should
98bd7ca0 2861 be treated consistently, regardless of whether TRACING is defined or not.
88cd8aca 2862
45d545f0 2863- The Linux build environment has had some minor improvements - better
88cd8aca
DH
2864 sensing of 64-bit pointer sizes (only used for establishing an icmp_id),
2865 and corrections to #if operators regarding LINUX_MAJOR should it ever
2866 move to 3.[01].x.
2867
2868- The server now tries harder to survive the condition where it is unable
2869 to open a new lease file to rewrite the lease state database.
2870

2871 Changes since 3.0.3b3
2872
2873- dhclient.conf documentation for interface {} was updated to reflect recent
2874 discussion on the dhcp-hackers mailing list.
2875
2876- In response to reports that the software does not compile on GCC 4.0.0,
2877 -Werror was removed from Makefile.conf for all platforms that used it.
2878 We will address the true problem in a future release; this is a temporary
2879 workaround.
2880
2881 Changes since 3.0.3b2
2882
2883- An error in code changes introduced in 3.0.3b2 was corrected, which caused
2884 static BOOTP clients to receive random addresses.
2885
2886 Changes since 3.0.3b1
2887
2888- A bug was fixed in BOOTPREQUEST handling code wherein stale references to
2889 host records would be left behind on leases that were not allocated to the
2890 client currently booting (eg in the case where the host was denied booting).
2891
2892- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated to be more clear in regards to
2893 multiple host declarations (thanks to Vincent McIntyre). 'Interim' style
2894 dynamic updates were also retouched.
2895
98311e4b
DH
2896 Changes since 3.0.2
2897
2898- A bug was fixed where a server might load balance a DHCP REQUEST to its
45d545f0 2899 peer after already choosing not to load balance the preceding DISCOVER.
98311e4b
DH
2900 The peer cannot allocate the originating server's lease.
2901
2902- In the case where a secondary server lost its stable storage while the
2903 primary was still in communications-interrupted, and came back online,
2904 the lease databases would not be fully transferred to the secondary.
2905 This was due to the secondary errantly sending an extra UPDREQ message
2906 when the primary made its state transition to PARTNER-DOWN known.
2907
2908- The package will now compile cleanly in gcc 3.3 and 3.4. As a side effect,
2909 lease structures will be 9 bytes smaller on all platforms. Thanks to
4b97eaff 2910 Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
2911
2912- Interface discovery code in DISCOVER_UNCONFIGURED mode is now
2913 properly restricted to only detecting broadcast interfaces. Thanks
4b97eaff 2914 to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
2915
2916- decode_udp_ip_header was changed so that the IP address was copied out
2917 to a variable, rather than referenced by a pointer. This enforces 4-byte
2918 alignment of the 32-bit IP address value. Thanks to a patch from Dr.
2919 Peter Poeml.
2920
2921- An incorrect log message was corrected thanks to a patch from
2922 Dr. Peter Poeml.
2923
2924- A bug in DDNS was repaired, where if the server's first DDNS action was
2925 a DDNS removal rather than a DDNS update, the resolver library's
2926 retransmit timer and retry timer was set to the default, implying a
2927 15 second timeout interval. Which is a little excessive in a synchronous,
2928 single-threaded system. In all cases, ISC DHCP should now hold fast to
2929 a 1-second timeout, trying only once.
2930
2931- The siaddr field was being improperly set to the server-identifier when
2932 responding to DHCP messages. RFC2131 clarified the siaddr field as
2933 meaning the 'next server in the bootstrap process', eg a tftp server.
2934 The siaddr field is now left zeroed unless next-server is configured.
2935
2936- mockup_lease() could have returned in an error condition (or in the
2937 condition where no fixed-address was found matching the shared
2938 network) with stale references to a host record. This is probably not
2939 a memory leak since host records generally never die anyway.
2940
2941- A bug was repaired where failover servers would let stale client identifiers
2942 persist on leases that were reallocated to new clients not sending an id.
2943
2944- Binding scopes ("set var = value;") are now removed from leases allocated
2945 by failover peers if the lease had expired. This should help reduce the
2946 number of stale binding scopes on leases.
2947
2948- A small memory leak was closed involving client identifiers larger than
2949 7 bytes, and failover.
2950
2951- Configuring a subnet in dhcpd.conf with a subnet mask of 32 bits might
2952 cause an internal function to overflow heap. Thanks to Jason Vas Dias
4b97eaff 2953 at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
2954
2955- Some inconsistencies in treating numbers that the lexer parsed as 'NUMBER'
2956 or 'NUMBER_OR_NAME' was repaired. Hexadecimal parsing is affected, and
2957 should work better.
2958
2959- In several cases, parse warnings were being issued before the lexical
2960 token had been advanced to the token whose value was causing an error...
2961 causing parse warnings to claim the problem is on the wrong token.
2962
2963- Host declarations matching on client identifier for dynamic leases will
2964 no longer match fixed-address host declarations (this is now identical
2965 to behaviour for host records matching on hardware address).
2966
2967 Changes since 3.0.2rc3
2968
2969- A previously undocumented configuration directive, 'local-address',
2970 was documented in the dhcpd.conf manpage.
2971
2972 Changes since 3.0.2rc2
2973
45d545f0 2974- Two variables introduced in 3.0.2b1 were used without being initialized
98311e4b
DH
2975 in the case where neither the FILE nor SNAME fields were available for
2976 overloading. This was repaired.
2977
2978- A heretofore believed to be impossible corner case of the option
2979 overloading implementation turned out to be possible ("Unable to sort
2980 overloaded options after 10 tries."). The implementation was reworked
2981 to consider the case of an option so large it would require more than
2982 three chunks to fit.
2983
2984- Many other instances of variables being used without being initialized
2985 were repaired.
2986
2987- An uninitialized variable in omapi_io_destroy() led to the discovery
2988 that this function may result in orphaned pointers (and hence, a memory
2989 leak).
2990
2991 Changes since 3.0.2rc1
2992
2993- allocate_lease() was rewritten to repair a bug in which the server would
2994 try to allocate an ABANDONED lease when FREE leases were available.
2995
2996 Changes since 3.0.2b1
2997
2998- Some dhcp-eval.5 manpage formatting was repaired.
2999
3000 Changes since 3.0.1
3001
3002- A bug was fixed in the server's 'option overloading' implementation,
3003 where options loaded into the 'file' and 'sname' packet fields were
3004 not aligned precisely as rfc2131 dictates.
3005
3006- The FreeBSD client script was changed to support the case where a domain
3007 name was not provided by the server.
3008
3009- A memory leak in 'omshell' per each command line parsed was
3010 repaired, thanks to a patch from Jarkko Torppa.
3011
3012- Log functions writing to stderr were adjusted to use the STDERR_FILENO
3013 system definition rather than '2'. This is a no-op for 90% of platforms.
3014
3015- One call to trace_write_packet_iov() counted the number of io vectors
3016 incorrectly, causing inconsistent tracefiles. This was fixed.
3017
3018- Some expression parse failure memory leaks were closed.
3019
3020- A host byte order problem in tracefiles was repaired.
3021
3022- Pools configured in DHCPD for failover possessing permission lists that
adb95d23 3023 previously were assumed to not include dynamic bootp clients are now
98311e4b
DH
3024 a little more pessimistic. The result is, dhcpd will nag you about just
3025 about most pools that possess a 'allow' statement with no 'deny' that
3026 would definitely match a dynamic bootp client.
3027
3028- The 'ddns-update-style' configuration warning bit now insists that
3029 the configuration be globally scoped.
3030
3031- Two memory leaks in dhclient were closed thanks to a patch from Felix
3032 Farkas.
3033
3034- Some minor but excellently pedantic documentation errors were fixed
3035 thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
3036
3037- Bugs in operator precedence in executable statements have been repaired
3038 once again. More legal syntaxes should be parsed legally.
3039
3040- Failing to initialize a tracefile for any reason if a tracefile was
3041 specified is now a fatal error. Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
3042
3043- Corrected a bug in which the number of leases transferred as calculated
3044 by the failover primary and sent to peers in POOLRESP responses may be
3045 incorrect. This value is not believed to be used by other failover
3046 implementations, excepting perhaps as logged information.
3047
3048- Corrected a bug in which 'dhcp_failover_send_poolresp()' was in fact
3049 sending POOLREQ messages instead of POOLRESP mesasges. This message
3050 was essentially ignored since failover secondaries effectively do not
3051 respond to POOLREQ messages.
3052
3053- Type definitions for various bitwidths of integers in the sunos5-5
3054 build of ISC DHCP have been fixed. It should compile and run more
3055 easily when built in 64-bit for this platform.
3056
3057- "allow known-clients;" is now a legal syntax, to avoid confusion.
3058
3059- If one dhcp server chooses to 'load balance' a request to its failover
3060 peer, it first checks to see if it believes said peer has a free
3061 lease to allocate before ignoring the DISCOVER.
3062
3063- log() was logging a work buffer, rather than the value returned by
3064 executing the statements configured by the user. In some cases,
3065 the work buffer and the intended results were the same. In some other
3066 cases, they were not. This was fixed thanks to a patch from Gunnar
3067 Fjone and directconnect.no.
3068
3069- Compiler warnings for some string type conversions was fixed, thanks
3070 to Andreas Gustafsson.
3071
3072- The netbsd build environments were simplified to one, in which
3073 -Wconversion is not used, thanks to Andreas Gustafsson.
3074
3075- How randomness in the backoff-cutoff dhclient configuration variable
3076 is implemented was better documented in the manpage, and the behaviour
3077 of dhclient in REQUEST timeout handling was changed to match that of
3078 DISCOVER timeout handling.
3079
3080- Omapi was hardened against clients that pass in null values, thanks
3081 to a patch from Mark Jason Dominus.
3082
3083- A bug was fixed in dhclient that kept it from doing client-side
3084 ddns updates. Thanks to a patch from Andreas Gustafsson, which
3085 underwent some modification after review by Jason Vas Dias.
3086
3087- Failover implementations disconnected due to the network between
3088 them (rather than one of the two shutting down) will now try to
3089 re-establish the failover connection every 5 seconds, rather than
3090 to simply try once and give up until one of them is restarted.
3091 Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from Infoblox, and field testing
3092 by Greger V. Teigre which led to an enhancement to it.
3093
3094- A problem that kept DHCP Failover secondaries from tearing down
3095 ddns records was repaired. Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from
3096 Infoblox.
3097
3098- 64bit pointer sizes are detected properly on FreeBSD now.
3099
3100- A bug was repaired where the DHCP server would leave stale references
3101 to host records on leases it once thought about offering to certain
3102 clients. The result would be to apply host and 'known' scopes to the
3103 wrong clients (possibly denying booting). NOTE: The 'mis-host' patch
3104 that was being circulated as a workaround is not the way this bug was
3105 fixed. If you were a victim of this bug in 3.0.1, you are cautioned
3106 to proceed carefully and see if it fixes your problem.
3107
3108- A bug was repaired in the server's DHCPINFORM handling, where it
3109 tried to divine the client's address from the source packet and
3110 would get it wrong. Thanks to Anshuman Singh Rawat.
3111
3112- A log message was introduced to help illuminate the case where the
3113 server was unable to find a lease to assign to any BOOTP client.
3114 Thanks to Daniel Baker.
3115
3116- A minor dhcpd.conf.5 manpage error was fixed.
3117
3118 Changes since 3.0.1rc14
3119
3120- The global variable 'cur_time' was centralized and is now uniformly of a
3121 type #defined in system-dependent headers. It had previously been defined
3122 in one of many places as a 32-bit value, and this causes mayhem on 64-bit
3123 big endian systems. It probably wasn't too healthy on little endian
3124 systems either.
3125
3126- A printf format string error introduced in rc14 was repaired.
3127
3128- AIX system-dependent header file was altered to only define NO_SNPRINTF
3129 if the condition used to #ifdef in vsnprintf in AIX' header files
3130 is false.
3131
3132- The Alpha/OSF system-dependent header file was altered to define
3133 NO_SNPRINTF on OS revisions older than 4.0G.
3134
3135- omapip/test.c had string.h added to its includes.
3136
3137 Changes since 3.0.1rc13
3138
3139! CAN-2004-0460 - CERT VU#317350: Five stack overflow exploits were closed
3140 in logging messages with excessively long hostnames provided by the
3141 clients. It is highly probable that these could have been used by
3142 attackers to gain arbitrary root access on systems using ISC DHCP 3.0.1
3143 release candidates 12 or 13. Special thanks to Gregory Duchemin for
3144 both finding and solving the problem.
3145
3146! CAN-2004-0461 - CERT VU#654390: Once the above was closed, an opening
45d545f0 3147 in log_*() functions was evidenced, on some specific platforms where
98311e4b
DH
3148 vsnprintf() was not believed to be available and calls were wrapped to
3149 sprintf() instead. Again, credit goes to Gregory Duchemin for finding
3150 the problem. Calls to snprintf() are now linked to a distribution-local
3151 snprintf implementation, only in those cases where the architecture is
3152 not known to provide one (see includes/cf/[arch].h). If you experience
3153 linking problems with snprintf/vsnprintf or 'isc_print_' functions, this
3154 is where to look. This vulnerability did not exist in any previously
3155 published version of ISC DHCP.
3156
3157- Compilation on hpux 11.11 was repaired.
3158
3159- 'The cross-compile bug fix' was backed out.
3160
3161 Changes since 3.0.1rc12
3162
3163- Fixed a bug in omapi lease lookup function, to form the hardware
3164 address for the hash lookup correctly, thanks to a patch from
3165 Richard Hirst.
3166
3167- Fixed a bug where dhcrelay was sending relayed responses back to the
3168 broadcast address, but with the source's unicast mac address. Should
3169 now conform to rfc2131 section 4.1.
3170
3171- Cross-compile bug fix; use $(AR) instead of ar. Thanks to Morten Brorup.
3172
3173- Fixed a crash bug in dhclient where dhcpd servers that do not provide
3174 renewal times results in an FPE. As a side effect, dhclient can now
3175 properly handle 0xFFFFFFFF (-1) expiry times supplied by servers. Thanks
3176 to a patch from Burt Silverman.
3177
3178- The 'ping timeout' debugs from rc12 were removed to -DDEBUG only,
45d545f0 3179 and reformatted to correct a compilation error on Solaris platforms.
98311e4b
DH
3180
3181- A patch was applied which fixes a case where leases read from the
3182 leases database do not properly over-ride previously read leases.
3183
3184- dhcpctl.3 manpage was tweaked.
3185
3186 Changes since 3.0.1rc11
3187
3188- A patch from Steve Campbell was applied with minor modifications to
3189 permit reverse dns PTR record updates with values containing spaces.
3190
3191- A patch from Florian Lohoff was applied with some modifications to
3192 dhcrelay. It now discards packets whose hop count exceeds 10 by default,
3193 and a command-line option (-c) can be used to set this threshold.
3194
3195- A failover bug relating to identifying peers by name length instead of
3196 by name was fixed.
3197
45d545f0 3198- Declaring failover configs within shared-network statements should no
98311e4b
DH
3199 longer result in error.
3200
3201- The -nw command line option to dhclient now works.
3202
3203- Thanks to a patch from Michael Richardson:
3204 - Some problems with long option processing have been fixed.
3205 - Some fixes to minires so that updates of KEY records will work.
3206
3207- contrib/ms2isc was updated by Shu-Min Chang of the Intel Corporation.
3208 see contrib/ms2isc/readme.txt for revision notes.
3209
3210- Dhclient no longer uses shell commands to kill another instance of
3211 itself, it sends the signal directly. Thanks to a patch from Martin
3212 Blapp.
3213
3214- The FreeBSD dhclient-script was changed so that a failure to write to
3215 /etc/resolv.conf does not prematurely end the script. This keeps dhclient
3216 from looping infinitely when this is the case. Thanks to a patch from
3217 Martin Blapp.
3218
3219- A patch from Bill Stephens was applied which resolves a problem with lease
3220 expiry times in failover configurations.
3221
3222- A memory leak in configuration parsing was closed thanks to a patch from
3223 Steve G.
3224
3225- The function which discovers interfaces will now skip non-broadcast or
3226 point-to-point interfaces, thanks to a patch from David Brownlee.
3227
3228- Options not yet known by the dhcpd or dhclient have had their names
3229 changed such that they do not contain # symbols, in case they should ever
3230 appear in a lease file. An option that might have been named "#144" is
3231 now "unknown-144".
3232
3233- Another patch from Bill Stephens which allows the ping-check timeout to
3234 be configured as 'ping-timeout'. Defaults to 1.
3235
3236 Changes since 3.0.1rc10
3237
3238- Potential buffer overflows in minires repaired.
3239
3240- A change to the linux client script to use /bin/bash, since /bin/sh may
3241 not be bash.
3242
3243- Some missing va_end cleanups thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
3244
3245- A correction of boolean parsing syntax validation - some illegal syntaxes
3246 that worked before are now detected and produce errs, some legal syntaxes
3247 that errored before will now work properly.
3248
3249- Some search-and-replace errors that caused some options to change their
3250 names was repaired.
3251
3252- Shu-min Chang of the Intel corporation has contributed a perl script and
3253 module that converts the MS NT4 DHCP configuration to a ISC DHCP3
3254 configuration file.
3255
3256- Applied the remainder of the dhcpctl memory leak patch provided by Bill
3257 Squier at ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
3258
3259- Missing non-optional failover peer configurations will now result in a soft
3260 error rather than a null dereference.
3261
3262 Changes since 3.0.1rc9
3263
3264- A format string was corrected to fix compiler warnings.
3265
3266- A number of spelling corrections were made in the man pages.
3267
3268- The dhclient.conf.5 man page was changed to refer to do-forward-updates
3269 rather than a configuration option that doesn't exist.
3270
3271- A FreeBSD-specific bug in the interface removal handling was fixed.
3272
3273- A Linux-specific Token Ring detection problem was fixed.
3274
3275- Hashes removed from as-yet-unknown agent options, having those options
3276 appear in reality before we know about them will no longer produce
3277 self-corrupting lease databases.
3278
3279- dhclient will use the proper port numbers now when using the -g option.
3280
3281- A order-of-operations bug with 2 match clauses in 1 class statement is
3282 fixed thanks to a patch from Andrew Matheson.
3283
3284- Compilation problems on Solaris were fixed.
3285
3286- Compilation problems when built with DEBUG or DEBUG_PACKET were repaired.
3287
3288- A fix to the dhcp ack process which makes certain group options will be
3289 included in the first DHCPOFFER message was made thanks to a patch from
3290 Ling Gou.
3291
3292- A few memory leaks were repaired thanks to patches from Bill Squier at
3293 ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
3294
3295- A fix for shared-networks that sometimes give clients options for the
3296 wrong subnets (in particular, 'option routers') was applied, thanks to
3297 Ted Lemon for the patch.
3298
3299- Omshell's handling of dotted octets as values was changed such that dots
3300 one after the other produce zero values in the integer string.
3301
3302 Changes since 3.0.1rc8
3303
3304- Fix a format string vulnerability in the server that could lead to a
3305 remote root compromise (discovered by NGSEC Research Team, www.ngsec.com).
3306
3307- Add additional support for NetBSD/sparc64.
3308
3309- Fix a bug in the command-line parsing of the client. Also, resolve
3310 a memory leak.
3311
3312- Add better support for shells other than bash in the Linux client
3313 script.
3314
3315- Various build fixes for modern versions of FreeBSD and Linux.
3316
3317- Fix a bad bounds check when printing binding state names.
3318
3319- Clarify documentation about fixed-address and multiple addresses.
3320
3321- Fix a typo in the authoritative error message.
3322
3323- Make a log entry when we can't write a billing class.
3324
3325- Use conversion targets that are the right size on all architectures.
3326
3327- Increment the hop count when relaying.
3328
3329- Log a message when lease state is changed through OMAPI.
3330
3331- Don't rerun the shared_network when evaluating the pool.
3332
3333- Fix a reversed test in the parser.
3334
3335- Change the type of rbuf_max.
3336
3337- Make FTS_LAST a manifest constant to quiet warnings.
3338
3339 Changes since 3.0.1rc7
3340
3341- Fix two compiler warnings that are generated when compiling on Solaris
3342 with gcc. These stop the build, even though they weren't actually
3343 errors, because we prefer that our builds generate no warnings.
3344
3345 Changes since 3.0.1rc6
3346
3347- Don't allow a lease that's in the EXPIRED, RELEASED or RESET state
3348 to be renewed.
3349
3350- Implement lease stealing for cases where the primary has fewer leases
3351 than the secondary, as called for by the standard.
3352
3353- Add a fudge factor to the lease expiry acceptance code, (suggested
3354 by Kevin Miller of CMU).
3355
3356- Fix a bug in permit_list_match that made it much too willing to say
3357 that two permit lists matched.
3358
3359- Unless DEBUG_DNS_UPDATES is defined, print more user-friendly (and
3360 also more compact) messages about DNS updates.
3361
3362- Fix a bug in generating wire-format domain names for the FQDN option.
3363
3364- Fix a bug where the FQDN option would not be returned if the client
3365 requested it, contrary to the standard.
3366
3367- On Darwin, use the FreeBSD DHCP client script.
3368
3369- On NetBSD/sparc, don't check for casting warnings.
3370
3371- Add a flag in the DHCP client to disable updating the client's A
3372 record when sending an FQDN option indicating that the client is
3373 going to update its A record.
3374
3375- In the client, don't attempt a DNS update until one second after
3376 configuring the new IP address, and if the update times out, keep
3377 trying until a response, positive or negative, is received from the
3378 DNS server.
3379
3380- Fix an uninitialized memory bug in the DHCP client.
3381
3382- Apply some FreeBSD-specific bug fixes suggested by Murray Stokely.
3383
3384- Fix a bug in ns_parserr(), where it was returning the wrong sort
3385 of result code in some cases (suggested by Ben Harris of the
3386 NetBSD project).
3387
3388- Fix a bug in is_identifier(), where it was checking against EOF
3389 instead of the END_OF_FILE token (also suggested by Ben Harris).
3390
3391- Fix a bug where if an option universe contained no options, the
3392 DHCP server could dump core (Walter Steiner).
3393
3394- Fix a bug in the handling of encapsulated options.
3395
3396- Fix a bug that prevented NWIP suboptions from being processed.
3397
3398- Delete the FTS_BOOTP and FTS_RESERVED states and implement them
3399 as modifier flags to the FTS_ACTIVE state, as called for in the
3400 failover protocol standard.
3401
3402- Fix bugs in the pool merging code that resulted in references and
3403 dereferences of null pointers. This bug had no impact unless the
3404 POINTER_DEBUG flag was defined.
3405
3406- In the server, added a do-forward-updates flag that can be used to
3407 disable forward updates in all cases, so that sites that want the
3408 clients to take sole responsibility for updating their A record can
3409 do so.
3410
3411- Make it possible to disable optimization of PTR record updates.
3412
3413 Changes since 3.0.1rc5
3414
3415- Include some new documentation and changes provided by Karl Auer.
3416
3417- Add a workaround for some Lexmark printers that send a double-NUL-
3418 terminated host-name option, which would break DNS updates.
3419
3420- Fix an off-by-one error in the MAC-address checking code for
3421 DHCPRELEASE that was added in 3.0.1rc5.
3422
3423- Fix a bug where client-specific information was not being discarded
3424 from the lease when it expired or was released, resulting in
3425 problems if the lease was reallocated to a different client.
3426
3427- If more than one allocation pool is specified that has the same set
3428 of constraints as another allocation pool on the same shared
3429 network, merge the two pools.
3430
3431- Don't print an error in fallback_discard, since this just causes
3432 confusion and does not appear to be helping to encourage anyone to
3433 fix this bug.
3434
3435 Changes since 3.0.1rc4
3436
3437- Fix a bug that would cause the DHCP server to spin if asked to parse
3438 a certain kind of incorrect statement.
3439
3440- Fix a related bug that would prevent an error from being reported in
3441 the same case.
3442
3443- Additional documentation.
3444
3445- Make sure that the hardware address matches the lease when
3446 processing a DHCPRELEASE message.
3447
3448 Changes since 3.0.1rc3
3449
3450- A minor bug fix in the arguments to a logging function call.
3451- Documentation update for dhcpd.conf.
3452
adbef119 3453 Changes since 3.0.1rc2
98311e4b
DH
3454
3455- Allow the primary to send a POOLREQ message. This isn't what the current
3456 failover draft says to do, so we may have to back it out if I can't get the
3457 authors to relent, but the scheme for balancing that's specified in the
3458 current draft seems needlessly hairy, so I'm floating a trial balloon.
3459 The rc1 code did not implement the method described in the draft either.
3460
adbef119 3461 Changes since 3.0.1rc1
98311e4b
DH
3462
3463- Treat NXDOMAIN and NXRRSET as success when we are trying to delete a
3464 domain or RRSET. This allows the DHCP server to forget about a name
3465 it added to the DNS once it's been removed, even if the DHCP server
3466 wasn't the one that removed it.
3467
3468- Install defaults for failover maximum outstanding updates and maximum
3469 silent time. This prevents problems that might occur if these values
3470 were not configured.
3471
3472- Don't do DDNS deletes if ddns-update-style is none.
3473
3474- Return relay agent information options in DHCPNAK. This prevents DHCPNAK
3475 messages from being dropped when the relay agent information option contains
3476 routing information.
3477
3478- Fix a problem where coming up in recover wouldn't result in an update
3479 request being sent.
3480
3481- Add some more chatty messages when we start a recovery update and when it's
3482 done.
3483
3484- Fix a possible problem where some state might have been left around
3485 after the peer lost contact and regained contact about how many updates
3486 were pending.
3487
3488- Don't nix a lease update because of a lease conflict. This test has
3489 never (as far as I know) prevented a mistake, and it appears to cause
3490 problems with failover.
3491
3492- Add support in rc history code for keeping a selective history, rather
3493 than a history of all references and dereferences. This code is only used
3494 when extensive additional debugging is enabled.
3495
adbef119 3496 Changes since 3.0
98311e4b
DH
3497
3498- Make allocators for hash tables. As a side effect, this fixes a memory
3499 smash in the subclass allocation code.
3500
3501- Fix a small bug in omshell where if you try to close an object when
3502 no object is open, it dumps core.
3503
3504- Fix an obscure coredump that could occur on shutdown.
3505
3506- Fix a bug in the recording of host declaration rubouts in the lease file.
3507
3508- Fix two potential spins in the host deletion code.
3509
3510- Fix a core dump that would happen if an application tried to update
3511 a host object attribute with a null value.
3512
3513 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 12
3514
3515- Fix a memory leak in the evaluation code.
3516
3517- Fix an obscure core dump.
3518
3519- Print a couple of new warnings when parsing the configuration file
3520 when crucial information is left out.
3521
3522- Log "no free leases" as an error.
3523
3524- Documentation updates.
3525
3526 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 11
3527
3528- Always return a subnet selection option if one is sent.
3529
3530- Fix a warning that was being printed because an automatic data
3531 structure wasn't zeroed.
3532
3533- Fix some failover state transitions that were being handled
3534 incorrectly.
3535
3536- When supersede_lease is called on a lease whose end time has already
3537 expired, but for which a state transition has not yet been done, do
3538 a state transition. This fixes the case where if the secondary
3539 allocated a lease to a client and the lease "expired" while the
3540 secondary was in partner-down, no expiry event would actually
3541 happen, so the lease would remain active until the primary was
3542 restarted.
3543
3544 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 10
3545
3546- Fix a bug that was preventing released leases from changing state
3547 in failover-enabled pools.
3548
3549- Fix a core dump in the client identifier finder code (for host
3550 declarations).
3551
3552- Finish fixing a bug where bogus data would sometimes get logged to
3553 the dhclient.leases file because it was opened as descriptor 2.
3554
3555- Fix the Linux dhclient-script according to suggestions made by
3556 several people on the dhcp-client mailing list.
3557
3558- Log successful DNS updates at LOG_INFO, not LOG_ERROR.
3559
3560- Print an error message and refuse to run if a failover peer is
3561 defined but not referenced by any pools.
3562
3563- Correct a confusing error message in failover.
3564
eaf0b302

d758ad8c
TL
3577 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8 Patchlevel 1
3578
3579- Fix a parsing bug that broke dns updates (both interim and ad-hoc).
3580 This was introduced in rc8pl1 as an unintended result of the memory
3581 leakage fixes that were in pl1.
3582
3583- Fix a long-standing bug where the server would record that an update
3584 had been done for a client with no name, even though no update had
3585 been done, and then when the client's lease expired the deletion of
3586 that nonexistant record would time out because the name was the null
9a111ee8 3587 string.
d758ad8c
TL
3588
3589- Clean up the omshell, dhcpctl and omapi man pages a bit.

TL
3591 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8
3592
3593- Fix a bug that could cause the DHCP server to spin if
3594 one-lease-per-client was enabled.
3595
3596- Fix a bug that was causing core dumps on BSD/os in the presence of
3597 malformed packets.
3598
3599- In partner-down state, don't restrict lease lengths to MCLT.
3600
3601- On the failover secondary, record the MCLT received from the primary
3602 so that if we come up without a connection to the primary we don't
3603 wind up giving out zero-length leases.
3604
3605- Fix some compilation problems on BSD/os.
3606
3607- Fix a bunch of memory leaks.
3608
3609- Fix a couple of bugs in the option printer.
3610
3611- Fix an obscure error reporting bug in the dns update code, and also
3612 make the message clearer when a key algorithm isn't supported.
3613
3614- Fix a bug in the tracing code that prevented trace runs that used
3615 tcp connections from being played back.
3616
3617- Add some additional debugging capability for catching memory leaks
3618 on exit.
3619
3620- Make the client release the lease correctly on shutdown.
3621
3622- Add some configurability to the build system.
3623
3624- Install omshell manual page in man1, not man8.
3625
3626- Craig Gwydir sent in a patch that fixes a long-standing bug in the
3627 DHCP client that could cause core dumps, but that for some reason
3628 hadn't been noticed until now.
3629
3630 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 7
3631
3632- Fix a bug in failover where we weren't sending updates after a
3633 transition from communications-interrupted to normal.
3634
3635- Handle expired/released/reset -> free transition according to the
3636 protocol specification (this works - the other way not only wasn't
3637 conformant, but also didn't work).
3638
3639- Add a control object in both client and server that allows either
3640 daemon to be shut down cleanly.
3641
3642- When writing a lease, if we run out of disk space, shut down the
3643 output file and insist on writing a new one before proceeding.
3644
3645- In the server, if the OMAPI listener port is occupied, keep trying
3646 to get it, rather than simply giving up and exiting.
3647
3648- Support fetching variables from leases and also updating and adding
3649 variables to leases via OMAPI.
3650
3651- If two failover peers have wildly different clocks, refuse to start
3652 doing failover.
3653
3654- Fix a bug in the DNS update code that could cause core dumps when
3655 running on alpha processors.
3656
3657- Fixed a bug in ddns updates for static lease entries, thanks to a
3658 patch from Andrey M Linkevitch.
3659
3660- Add support for Darwin/MacOS X
3661
3662- Install omshell (including new documentation).
3663
3664- Support DNS updates in the client (this is a very obscure feature
3665 that most DHCP client users probably will not be able to use).
3666
3667- Somewhat cleaner status logging in the client.
3668
3669- Make OMAPI key naming syntax compatible with the way keys are
3670 actually named (key names are domain names).
3671
3672- Fix a bug in the lease file writer.
3673
3674- Install DHCP ISC headers in a different place than BIND 9 ISC
3675 headers, to avoid causing trouble in BIND 9 builds.
3676
3677- Don't send updates for attributes on an object when the attributes
3678 haven't changed. Support deleting attributes on remote objects.
3679
3680- Fix a number of bugs in omshell, and add the unset and refresh
3681 statements.
3682
3683- Handle disconnects in OMAPI a little bit more intelligently (so that
3684 the caller gets ECONNRESET instead of EINVAL).
3685
3686- Fix a bunch of bugs in the handling of clients that have existing
3687 leases when the try to renew their leases while failover is
3688 operating.
3689

TL
3690 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 6
3691
3692- Fix a core dump that could happen when processing a DHCPREQUEST from
3693 a client that had a host declaration that contained both a
3694 fixed-address declaration and a dhcp-client-identifier option
3695 declaration, if the client identifier was longer than nine bytes.
3696
3697- Fix a memory leak that could happen in certain obscure cases when
3698 using omapi to manipulate leases.
3699
3700- Fix some bugs and omissions in omshell.
3701

TL
3702 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 5
3703
3704- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that prevented objects in
3705 chains from having their reference counts decreased on dereference.
3706
3707- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that would prevent object
3708 chains from being freed upon removal of the last reference external
3709 to the chain.
3710
3711- Fix a number of other memory leaks in the OMAPI protocol subsystem.
3712
3713- Add code in the OMAPI protocol handler to trace memory leakage.
3714

3725
3726- Fix a bug that would prevent leases from being abandoned properly on
3727 DHCPDECLINE.
3728
3729- Fix failover peer OMAPI support.
3730
3731- In failover, correctly handle expiration of leases. Previously,
3732 leases would never be reclaimed because they couldn't make the
3733 transition from EXPIRED to FREE.
3734
3735- Fix some broken failover state transitions.
3736
3737- Documentation fixes.
3738
3739- Take out an unnecessary check in DHCP relay agent information option
3740 stashing code that was preventing REBINDING clients from rebinding.
3741
3742- Prevent failover peers from allocating leases in DHCPREQUEST
3743 processing if the lease belongs to the other server.
3744
3745- Record server version in lease file introductory comment.
3746
3747- Correctly report connection errors in OMAPI and failover.
3748
3749- Make authentication signature algorithm name comparisons in OMAPI
3750 case-insensitive.
3751
3752- Fix compile problem on SunOS 4.x
3753
98311e4b 3754- If a signature algorithm is not terminated with '.', terminate it so
eaf0b302
TL
3755 that comparisons between fully-qualified names will work
3756 consistently.
3757
3758- Different SIOCGIFCONF probe code, may "fix" problem on some Linux
3759 systems with the probe not working correctly.
3760

TL
3763 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 3
3764
3765- Do lease billing on startup in a way that I *think* will finally do
3766 the billing correctly - the previous method could overbill as a
3767 result of duplicate leases.

3774 Herranz for figuring out the main problem.
3775
3776- Fix some reference counting errors on host entries that were causing
3777 core dumps.
3778
3779- Fix a byte-swap bug in the token ring code, thanks to Jochen
3780 Friedrich.
3781
3782- Fix a bug in lease billing, thanks to Jonas Bulow.
3783
3784 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 2
3785
3786- Change the conditions under which a DHCPRELEASE is actually
3787 committed to be consistent with lease binding states rather than
98311e4b 3788 using the lease end time. This may fix some problems with the
892fe689
TL
3789 billing class code.
3790
3791- Fix a bug where lease updates would fail on Digital Unix (and maybe
3792 others) because malloc was called with a size of zero.
3793
3794- Fix a core dump that happens when the DHCP server can't create its
3795 trace file.

79ea3de8 3797 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 1 Patchlevel 1
87784777 3798
79ea3de8
TL
3799- Fix the dhcp_failover_put_message to not attempt to allocate a
3800 zero-length buffer. Some versions of malloc() fail if you try to
3801 allocate a zero-length buffer, and this was causing problems on,
3802 e.g., Digital Unix.
3803
3804- Fix a case where the failover code was printing an error message
3805 when no error had occurred.
3806
3807- Fix a problem where when a server went down and back up again, the
3808 peer would not see a state transition and so would stay in the
3809 non-communicating state.
3810
3811- Be smart about going into recover_wait.
3812
3813- Fix a problem in the failover implementation where peers would fail
3814 to come into sync if interrupted in the RECOVER state. This could
3815 have been the cause of some problems people have reported recently.
3816
3817- Fix a problem with billing classes where they would not be unbilled
3818 when the client lease expired.
3819
3820- If select fails, figure out which descriptor is bad, and cut it out
3821 of the I/O loop. This prevents a potentially nasty spin. I
3822 haven't heard any report it in a while, but it came up consistently
3823 in testing.
3824
3825- Fix a bug in the relay agent where if you specified interfaces on
3826 the command line, it would fail.
3827
3828- Fix a couple of small bugs in the omapi connection object (no known
3829 user impact).
3830
3831- Add the missing 3.0 Beta 1 lease conversion script.
3832
3833- Read dhcp client script hooks if they exist, rather than only if
3834 they're executable.

3847 Compaq Alpha systems. This patchlevel is not a release candidate
3848 because of this bug. The bug should be straightforward to fix, so
3849 a new release candidate is expected shortly.
3850
3851- There is a known problem in the DDNS update code that is probably a
3852 bug, and is not, as far as we know, fixed in this patchlevel.

3855
3856- Went over problematic failover state transitions and made them all
3857 work, so that failover should now much less fragile.
3858
3859- Add some dhcpctl and omapi documentation
3860
3861- Fix compile errors when compiling with unusual predefines.
3862
3863- Make Token Ring work on Linux 2.4

3874
3875- Fix a bug in the DNS update code where a status code was not being
3876 checked. This may have been causing core dumps.
3877
3878- When parsing the lease file, if a lease declaration includes a
3879 billing class statement, and the lease already has a billing class,
3880 unbill the old class.
3881
3882- When processing failover transactions, where acks will be deferred,
3883 process the state transition immediately.
3884
3885- Don't try to use the new SIOCGIFCONF buffer size detection code on
3886 Linux 2.0, which doesn't provide this functionality.
3887
3888- Apply a patch suggested by Tuan Uong for a problem in dlpi.c.
3889
3890- Fix a problem in using the which command in the configure script.
3891
3892- Fix a parse error in the client when setting up an omapi listener.
3893
3894- Document the -n and -g flags to the client.
3895
3896- Make sure there is always a stdin and stdout on startup. This
3897 prevents shell scripts from accidentally writing error messages into
3898 configuration files that happen to be opened as stderr.
3899
3900- If an interface is removed, the client will now notice that it is
3901 gone rather than spinning. This has only been tested on NetBSD.
3902
3903- The client will attempt to get an address even if it can't create a
3904 lease file.
3905
3906- Don't overwrite tracefiles.

3926 pl19.

3929 previous fix only partially fixed the problem - enough to get it

3950
3951- Implement omshell, which can be used to do arbitrary things to the
3952 server (in theory). (Damien Neil)
3953
3954- Fix a case where if a client had two different leases the server could
3955 actually dereference the second one when it hadn't been referenced,
3956 leading to memory corruption and a core dump. (James Brister)
3957
3958- Fix a case where a client could request the address of another client's
3959 lease, but find_lease wouldn't detect that the other client had it, and
3960 would attempt to allocate it to the client, resulting in a lease conflict
3961 message.
3962
3963- Fix a case where a client with more than one client identifier could be
3964 given a lease where the hardware address was correct but the client
3965 identifier was not, resulting in a lease conflict message.
3966
98311e4b 3967- Fix a problem where the server could write out a colon-separated
3350f5b7
TL
3968 hex list as a value for a variable, which would then not parse.
3969 The fix is to always write strings as quoted strings, with any
3970 non-printable characters quoted as octal escape sequences. So
3971 a file written the old way still won't work, but new files written
3972 this way will work.

3974- Fix documentation for sending non-standard options.
3975
3976- Use unparsable names for unknown options. WARNING: this will
3977 break any configuration files that use the option-nnn convention.
3978 If you want to continue to use this convention for some options,
3979 please be sure to write a definition, like this:
3980
3981 option option-nnn code nnn = string;
3982
3983 You can use a descriptive name instead of option-nnn if you like.
3984
3985- Fix a problem where we would see a DHCPDISCOVER/DHCPOFFER/
3986 DHCPREQUEST/DHCPACK/DHCPREQUEST/DHCPNAK sequence. This was the
3987 result of a deceptively silly bug in supersede_lease.
3988

TL
4002- Add support for transaction tracing. This allows the state of the
4003 DHCP server on startup, and all the subsequent transactions, to be
4004 recorded in a file which can then be played back to reproduce the
4005 behaviour of the DHCP server. This can be used to quickly
4006 reproduce bugs that cause core dumps or corruption, and also for
4007 tracking down memory leaks.
4008
4009- Incorporate some bug fixes provided by Joost Mulders for the DLPI
4010 package which should clear up problems people have been seeing on
4011 Solaris.
4012
4013- Fix bugs in the handling of options stored as linked lists (agent
4014 options, fqdn options and nwip options) that could cause memory
4015 corruption and core dumps.
4016
4017- Fix a bug in DHCPREQUEST handling that resulted in DHCPNAK messages
4018 not being send in some cases when they were needed.
4019
4020- Make the lease structure somewhat more compact.
4021
4022- Make initial failover startup *much* faster. This was researched
4023 and implemented by Damien Neil.
4024
4025- Add a --version flag to all executables, which prints the program
4026 name and version to standard output.

4062
4063- Finish fixing a long-standing bug in the agent options code. This
4064 was causing core dumps and failing to operate correctly - in
4065 particular, agent option stashing wasn't working. Agent option
4066 stashing should now be working, meaning that agent options can be
4067 used in class statements to control address allocation.
4068
4069- Fix up documentation.

4072 significantly in a high-demand situation.

4076- Fix a compile error on some older operating systems.

4078- Add the ability in the client to execute certain statements before
4079 transmitting packets to the server. Handy for debugging; not much
4080 practical use otherwise.

4082- Don't send faked-out giaddr when renewing or bound - again, useful
4083 for debugging.

4088 an option with an (unsigned) negative length, resulting in a core
4089 dump on some systems.
4090
4091- Work around the Win98 DHCP client, which NUL-terminates the FQDN
4092 option.
4093
4094- Work around Win98 and Win2k clients that will claim they want to do
4095 the update even when they don't have any way to do it.
4096
4097- Fix some log messages that can be printed when failover is operating
4098 that were not printing enough information.
4099
4100- It was possible for a DHCPDISCOVER to get an allocation even when
4101 the state machine said the server shouldn't be responding.
4102
4103- Don't load balance DHCPREQUESTs from clients in RENEWING and
4104 REBINDING, since in RENEWING, if we heard it, it's for us, and in
4105 REBINDING, the client wouldn't have got to REBINDING if its primary
4106 were answering.

4109 the transition.

4118- Albert Herranz tracked down and fixed a subtle bug in the base64
4119 decoder that would prevent any key with an 'x' in its base64
4120 representation from working correctly.
4121
4122- Thanks to Chris Cheney and Michael Sanders, we have a fix for the
4123 hang that they both spotted in the DHCP server - when
4124 one-lease-per-client was set, the code to release the "other" lease
4125 could spin.
4126
4127- Fix a problem with alignment of the input buffer in bpf in cases
4128 where two packets arrive in the same bpf read.
4129
4130- Fix a problem where the relay agent would crash if you specified an
4131 interface name on the command line.
4132
4133- Add the ability to conditionalize client behaviour based on the
4134 client state.
4135
4136- Add support for the FQDN option, and added support for a new way of
4137 doing ddns updates (ddns update style interim) that allows more than
4138 one DHCP server to update the DNS for the same network(s). This
4139 was implemented by Damien Neil with some additional functionality
4140 added by Ted Lemon.
4141
4142- Damien added a "log" statement, so that the configuration file can
4143 be made to log debugging information and other information.
4144
4145- Fixed a bug that caused option buffers not to be terminated with an
4146 end option.
4147
4148- Fixed a long-standing bug in the support for option spaces where the
4149 options are stored as an ordered list rather than in a hash table,
4150 which could theoretically result in memory pool corruption.
4151
4152- Prevent hardware declarations with no actual hardware address from
4153 being written as something unparsable, and behave correctly in the
4154 face of a null hardware address on input.
4155
4156- Allow key names to be FQDNs, and qualify the algorithm name if it is
4157 specified unqualified.
4158
4159- Modify the DDNS update code so that it never prints the "resolver
4160 failed" message, but instead says *why* the resolver failed.
4161
4162- Officially support the subnet selection option, which now has an
4163 RFC.
4164

4198 the DHCP option space.

4203 select will just fail if the timeout is too long (!).
4204

4206 silently dropped.

4209 client had the lease, the DHCP server would reallocate it anyway.

4225- Fix a possible DoS attack where a client could cause the checksummer
4226 to dump core. This was a read, not a write, so it shouldn't be
4227 possible to exploit it any further than that.
4228
4229- Implement client- and server-side support for using the Client FQDN
4230 option.
4231
4232- Support for other option spaces in the client has been added. This
4233 means that it is now possible to define a vendor option space on the
4234 client, request options in that space from the server (which must
4235 define the same option space), and then use those options in the
4236 client. This also allows NWIP and Client FQDN options to be used
4237 meaningfully.
4238
4239- Add object initializer support. This means that objects can now be
4240 initialized to something other than all-zeros when allocated, which
4241 makes, e.g., the interface object support code a little more robust.
4242
4243- Fix an off-by-one bug in the host stuffer. This was causing host
4244 deletes not the work, and may also have been causing OMAPI
4245 connections to get dropped. Thanks to James Brister for tracking
4246 this one down!
