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
cb0d7e7c 21This release also adds support for the standard DDNS as described in the
324257e3
SR
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.

54
1e08558f
SR
55 Changes since 4.3.4
56
914c567d
FD
57- Fixed util/bindvar.sh error handling.
58 [ISC-Bugs #41973]
1e08558f 59
0b0a1399
SR
60- Correct error message in relay to use remote id length instead
61 of circuit id length.
62 [ISC-Bugs #42556]
63
e105afa1
SR
64- Add support for including an encapsulated option in a response
65 from the DHCPv6 server. This allows the v6 FQDN option to be
66 returned in responses.
67 [ISC-Bugs #29246]
68
4f553fea
TM
69- Add logic to test directory Makefiles to avoid copying Attfile(s)
70 when building within the source tree. This eliminates a noisy but
71 otherwise harmless error message when running "make check".
72 [ISC-Bugs #41883]
73
33dca28a
TM
74 Changes since 4.3.4b1
75
76- None
77
7da1ac2b
TM
78 Changes since 4.3.3
79
555093da
TM
80- Corrected a static analyzer warning in common/execute.c
81 [ISC-Bugs #40374]
e82906fc 82
555093da
TM
83- ISC DHCP now follows the common convention to use the base name a
84 program is invoked with (aka argv[0], vs. a builtin name) for
cb0d7e7c 85 logs. This should help differentiate syslog entries for DHCPv4 and
555093da
TM
86 DHCPv6 servers. You can define OLD_LOG_NAME in includes/site.h to
87 keep the previous behavior.
88 [ISC-Bugs #38692]
20931f53 89
26de50fb 90- The Linux packet filter code now correctly treats only the least significant
c808603e 91 12 bits in an inbound packet's TCI value as the VLAN id (per IEEE 802.1Q).
555093da
TM
92 Prior to this it was using the entire 16 bit value as the VLAN id and
93 incorrectly discarding packets. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for
94 reporting this issue and supplying its patch.
95 [ISC-Bugs #40591]
5cc6f201 96
c808603e 97- Fixed several static analysis issues such as potential null
e8e6768a
TM
98 references, unchecked strdup returns. Thanks to Bill Parker (wp02855 at
99 gmail dot com) who identified these issues and supplied patches to
100 address them.
88c3ff5d 101 [ISC-Bugs #40754]
e8e6768a 102 [ISC-Bugs #40823]
88c3ff5d 103
555093da
TM
104- Corrected compilation errors that prohibited building the server
105 and its ATF unit tests when failover is disabled.
106 [ISC-Bugs #40372]
f10cbbfa 107
555093da
TM
108- Added the lease address to the end of the debug level log message
109 emitted when an existing lease is renewed within the dhcp-cache-threshold.
110 Thanks to Nathan Neulinger at Missouri S&T for suggesting the change.
111 [ISC-Bugs #40598]
5fc79cfd 112
555093da
TM
113- Added dhcpv6 and delayed-ack to settings listed in the "Features:"
114 section of the configure script output. Additionally, all of the
115 features reported on will now always show either a "yes" or "no"
116 value. Prior to this features left to their default setting would
117 not show a value.
118 [ISC-Bugs #40381]
119
120- Added a parameter, authoring-byte-order, to the lease file. This value
121 is automatically added to the top of new lease files by the server and
122 indicates the internal byte order (big endian or little endian) of the
123 server. This permits lease files generated on a server with one form of
124 byte order to be used on a server with the opposite form. Our thanks to
125 Timothe Litt for calling this to our attention and for the suggestions
126 he provided.
127 [ISC-Bugs #38396]
646acb59 128
d1d1da8f 129- Fixed a small memory leak in the DHCPv6 version of the client code.
18ba0ff3
SR
130 This is unlikely to cause significant issues in actual use.
131 [ISC-Bugs #40990]
132
ce29e695
TM
133- Corrected a few minor memory leaks in omapi's dereferencing of
134 host objects. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for reporting
135 the issue and supplying the patches.
136 [ISC-Bugs #33990]
75ab52e1 137 [ISC-Bugs #41325]
ce29e695 138
d1d1da8f
FD
139- Cleaned up some of the Make infrastructure to make --with-libbind
140 work better. Though it still only works with an absolute path.
141 [ISC-Bugs #39210]
142
143- Made the embedded bind libraries able to be cross compiled
144 (please refer to the bind9 documentation to learn how to cross
145 compile DHCP and its bind library dependency).
146 [ISC-Bugs #38836]
147
c88dfebd
SR
148- Update the client code to better support getting IA_NAs and IA_PDs
149 in the same packet, see RFC7550 for some discussion.
150 [ISC-Bugs #40190]
151
08ad1e3c 152! Update the bounds checking when receiving a packet.
4ce21cb6
SR
153 Thanks to Sebastian Poehn from Sophos for the bug report and a suggested
154 patch.
155 [ISC-Bugs #41267]
825c459c 156 CVE: CVE-2015-8605
4ce21cb6 157
b2cb745b
SR
158- When handling an incorrect command line for dhcpd, dhclient or dhcrelay
159 print out a specific error message about the first error in addition
160 to the usage string. This may be disabled by editing includes/site.h.
161 [ISC-Bugs #40321]
eda1d0aa 162 [ISC-Bugs #41454]
b2cb745b 163
cacce092
TM
164- The configure script will now exit with an error message if it cannot find
165 a GNU-style make tool (needed when building BIND libraries) or pkg-config
166 (needed to locate ATF used for building unit tests). Prior to this the
167 script would exit indicating success causing subsequent attempts to build
168 the software to fail.
169 [ISC-Bugs #40371]
170
4ced250f 171- Properly terminate strings before passing them to regex and fix
c808603e 172 a boundary error when creating certain new data strings.
4ced250f
SR
173 Thanks to Andrey Jr. Melnikov for the bug report.
174 [ISC-Bugs #41217]
175
a3471269
TM
176- Option expressions, such as prepend and append, are now supported when
177 running dhclient for IPv6. Prior to this such statements in the
178 client configuration file would be parsed but have no affect. Thanks
179 to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for reporting the issue.
180 [ISC-Bugs #39952]
181
3e3b5257
TM
182- A failover primary server will now accept a binding status update from the
183 secondary which transitions a lease from ACTIVE to ABANDONED. This accounts
184 for instances in which a client declines a lease and only the secondary
185 server receives it. Prior to this the primary server would reject such an
186 update as an "invalid state transition".
fd1ba363 187 [ISC_BUGS #25189]
3e3b5257 188
ba4c704d
SR
189- Properly allocate memory for a bpf filter.
190 Thanks to Bill Parker (wp02855 at gmail dot com) who identified this issue.
191 [ISC-Bugs #41485]
192
b1eea858
SR
193- Updated contrib/dhcp-lease-list.pl to handle garbage in the oui file better
194 and to print out the hostnames a bit better.
0958dea4 195 Thanks to Antoine Beaupré from Debian for the suggested patch.
b1eea858
SR
196 [ISC-Bugs #41288]
197
36c4a037
SR
198- The DHCPv6 server now handles long valid and preferred lease times better.
199 Values that would cause the internal end time of the lease to wrap are
200 modified to work as infinite.
201 [ISC-Bugs #40773]
202
41b5a1a6
FD
203- Updated support for cross compiling by allowing the library archiver
204 to be set at configure time via the environment variable 'AR'.
205 [ISC-Bugs #41536]
206
62a9eb91
TM
207- The server will now match DHCPv6 relayed clients to host declarations
208 which include the "hardware" statement, if the relay connected to the
209 client supplies the client's hardware address via client-linklayer-address
210 option as per RFC 6939.
211 [ISC-Bugs #40334]
212
b7311aae
FD
213- Allow a filename to be specified instead of /dev/random during
214 configuration. This is passed to the BIND configuration to allow
215 for cross compilation.
216 [ISC-Bugs #33835]
217
1bfdeaae
SR
218- Add more option definitions.
219 [ISC-Bugs #40562]
220
1d3fc4d0
SR
221- Correct outputting of long lines in the lease file when writing
222 a lease that includes long strings in an execute statement.
223 [ISC-Bugs #40994]
224
68b5d395
TM
225- The server will now correctly treat a lease as reserved when the client
226 requests an infinite lease time (i.e. OxFFFFFFFF) and "infinite-is-reserved"
227 is enabled. Prior to this the server would halt. In addition, corrections
228 were made to the server to allow a lease's flags field to be set via omapi.
229 Prior to this, the server, depending on the host architecture, would
230 incorrectly parse the new flags value from the omapi message.
231 [ISC-Bugs #31179]
232
f704712e
FD
233- ISC DHCP can now be configured and built from a directory other than
234 the top level source directory. Note that "make distcheck" uses this
235 feature.
236 [ISC-Bugs #39262]
237
6e7e6637 238- Add support for RFC 3527 to dhcrelay. A new, dhcrelay command line argument,
b12e0ca9 239 "-U <interface>" enables the addition of a RFC 3527 compliant link selection
6e7e6637
TM
240 suboption to the agent option added for clients directly connected to the
241 relay.
242 [ISC-Bugs #34875]
cbef159e 243 [ISC-Bugs #41708]
6e7e6637 244
dce576b8
TM
245- Add a new global DHCPv6 option, dhcpv6-set-tee-times, which when enabled
246 instructs the server to calculate T1 and T2 as recommended in RFC 3315,
247 Section 22.4.
248 [ISC-Bugs #25687]
249
45086eef
TM
250- Corrected minor Coverity issues.
251 [ISC-Bugs #35144]
252
785c1a51
FD
253- Add support for RFC 7341 DHCPv4 over DHCPv6 with a new configuration
254 option "--enable-dhcpv4o6". Note this feature requires DHCPv6 support
255 and is not compatible with delayed-ack. Both client and server use 2
256 processes which communicate over UDP on a pair of sockets. The new
cb0d7e7c 257 "-4o6 <port>" command line argument enables DHCPv4 over DHCPv6 support
785c1a51
FD
258 and specifies the consecutive ports to use for inter-process communication.
259 Please look at doc/DHCPv4-over-DHCPv6 for more details.
260 [ISC-Bugs #35711]
261
cc1bd34e 262- Correct interface name formation when using DLPI under Solaris 11. As of
0f1a34e9
TM
263 Solaris 11, ethernet device files are located in "/dev/net". The configure
264 script has been modified to detect this situation and adjust the directory
9b2e9347
TM
265 used accordingly. Thanks to Jarkko Torppa for reporting this issue and
266 submitting a patch
0f1a34e9 267 [ISC-Bugs #37954]
fca944db 268 [ISC-Bugs #40752]
0f1a34e9 269
84ee63a0
SR
270- Add a dereference call when handling an error condition while
271 decoding a packet.
272 [ISC-Bugs #41774]
273
cc1bd34e
TM
274- Add a new parameter, lease-id-format, to both dhcpd and dhclient. The
275 parameter controls the format in which certain values are written to lease
276 files. Formats supported are octal - quoted string containing octal
34a09be0
TM
277 escapes, and hex - unquoted, colon separated hex digits. Thanks to
278 Jay Ford, University of Iowa for bringing the issue to our attention.
29d1b58f 279 [ISC-Bugs #26378]
cc1bd34e 280
0b209ea5
SR
281! Add an option in site.h to limit the number of failover and control
282 connections the server will accept. By default this is 200.
283 [ISC-Bugs #41845]
670599ac 284 CVE: CVE-2016-2774

289
b31fe1d5
TM
290 Changes since 4.3.2
291
bc549dd9
SR
292- The server now does a better check to see if it can allocate the memory
293 for large blocks of v4 leases and should provide a slightly better error
294 message. Note well: the server pre-allocates v4 addresses, if you use
295 a large range, such as a /8, the server will attempt to use a large
296 amount of memory and may not start if there either isn't enough memory
297 or the size exceeds what the code supports.
298 [ISC-Bugs #38637]
299
b31fe1d5
TM
300- The server will now reject unicast Request, Renew, Decline, and Release
301 messages from a client unless the server would have sent that client the
302 dhcp6.unicast option. This behavior is in compliance with paragraph 1 in
303 each of the sections 18.2,1, 18.2.3, 18.2.6, and 18.2.7 of RFC 3315. Prior
304 to this, the server would simply accept the messages. Now, in order for
305 the server to accept such a message, the server configuration must include
306 the dhcp6.unicast option either globally or within the shared network to
307 which the requested lease belongs. In other words, the server will map
308 the first IA_XX address found within the client message to a shared-network
309 and look for the presence of the unicast option there and then globally.
ba21bb1b
TM
310 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for this issue and his patch which
311 inspired the fix.
b31fe1d5 312 [ISC-Bugs #21235]
c2419dca 313
20c0fdc7
SR
314- The ATF (Automated Testing Framework) tools used for optional unit tests
315 can now be built from its embedded sources in bind, solving the
316 atf-run / atf-report issue with recent (>= 0.20) versions of ATF.
317 The new configuration option is "./configure --with-atf=bind".
1b245c91 318 [ISC-Bugs #38754, #39300]
20c0fdc7 319
1c0b7d66
SR
320- Corrected a compilation error introduced by the fix for ISC-Bugs #22806.
321 On older linuxes that do not include the tpacket_auxdata structure don't
322 bother allocating the cmsgbuf as it isn't necessary and we don't have
323 a proper length for it.
324 [ISC-Bugs #39209]
325
da88d34b
SR
326- Remove the dst directory. This was replaced in 4.2.0 with the dst
327 code from the Bind libraries but we continued to include it for
328 backwards compatibility. As we have now released 4.3.x it seems
329 reasonable to remove it.
330 [ISC-Buts #39019]
331
90a062fb 332- Write out the DUID server id on startup in all cases, previously if it
cacce092 333 was read in from server-duid option in the config or lease files for
90a062fb
SR
334 DHCPv4 it would not be written to the new lease file.
335 [ISC-Bugs #37791]
336
90fdd337
SR
337- When parsing dates for leases convert dates past 2038 to "never".
338 This avoids problems with integer overflows in the date and time
339 handling code for people that decide to use very large lease times
340 or add a lease entry with a date far in the future.
341 [ISC-Bugs #33056]
342
70689a73
SR
343- Leave the siaddr field clear when sending a NACK as per RFC 2131
344 table 3.
345 [ISC-Bugs #38769]
346
30dcfbf6
SR
347- In the client don't send expired addresses to the script as part of
348 the binding process. Thanks to Sven Trenkel at Google for reporting
349 the issue and suggesting the patch.
350 [ISC-Bugs #38631]
351
4136513e
SR
352- While parsing IPv6 addresses treat "add" as part of the address instead
353 of as a token.
354 [ISC-Bugs #39529]
355
3933e2aa
SR
356- Add support for accessing the v4 lease queues (active, free etc) in a
357 binary fashion instead of needing to walk through a linear list to
358 insert, find or remove an entry from the queues. In addition add a
359 compile time option "--enable-binary-leases" to enable the new code
360 or to continue using the old code. The old code is the default.
361 Thanks to Fernando Soto from BlueCat Networks for the patch.
362 [ISC-Bugs #39078]
363
cca6a648 364- Delayed-ack now works properly with Failover. Prior to this, bind updates
365 post startup were being queued but never delivered. Among other things, this
366 was causing leases to not transition from expired or released to free.
367 [ISC-Bugs #31474]
368
46d31b51
SR
369- Clean up parsing of v6 lease files a bit to avoid infinite loops if the
370 lease file is corrupt in certain ways.
371 [ISC-Bugs #39760]
372
cca6a648 373- Corrected a crash in dhclient that occurs during lease renewal if the
68b3e7f2
TM
374 client is performing its own DNS updates. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat
375 for the bug report.
cca6a648 376 [ISC-Bugs #38639]
377
ff1b3d04
TM
378- Corrected an issue in v6 lease file parsing. Prior to this, when encountering
379 a lease with an address for which no configured pool exists, the server was
380 declaring the lease file corrupt and incorrectly skipping over the subsequent
381 entry in the file. The server will now emit a log message indicating that
382 no pool was found for the address (or prefix) and correctly resume parsing
cacce092 383 with the next entry in the lease file. Our thanks to Michal Žejdl for
673137b1 384 reporting the issue.
ff1b3d04
TM
385 [ISC-Bugs #39314]
386
34711bb7
SR
387- Be more liberal in finding a subnet group associated with a static
388 prefix. When we added the class matching code for v6 we also added
389 a requirement that the static prefix must be within a subnet the
390 client was in, in order to find the proper statements. We now
391 look for a subnet based on the prefix, failing that on the static
392 address for the client and failing that on the shared network
393 itself.
394 [ISC-Bugs #38329]
395
45c332f0
SR
396- Add a new action expression "parse_vendor_options", which can be used
397 to parse a vendor-encapsualted-option received by the server based on
398 the encoding specified by the vendor-option-space statement.
399 [ISC-Bugs #36449]
400
7a6c9368
SR
401- Enhance the PARANOIA patch to include fchown() the lease file to
402 allow it to be manipulated after the server does a chown().
403 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the patch.
404 [ISC-Bugs #36978]
405
7ef55702
SR
406- Relax the requirement that prefix pools must be within the subnet.
407 This was added in as part of #32453 in order to avoid configuration
408 mistakes but is being removed as prefixes aren't required to be
409 within the same subnet and many people configure them in that fashion.
410 [ISC-Bugs #40077]
411
6a39bcf0

TM
468- Unit test execution now uses a path augmented during configuration
469 processing of the --with-atf option to locate ATF runtime tools, atf-run
470 and atf-report. For most installations of ATF, this should alleviate the
471 need to manually include them in the PATH, as was formerly required.
472 If the configure script cannot locate the tools it will emit a warning,
473 informing the user that the tools must be in the PATH when running unit
474 tests.
475 Secondly, please note that "make check" will now exit with a failure status
476 code (non-zero) if one or more unit tests fail. This means that invoking
477 "make check" from an upper level directory will cause the make process to
478 STOP after the first test subdirectory with failed test(s). To force all
479 tests in all subdirectories to run, regardless of individual test outcome,
480 use the command "make -k check".

551 include the client identifier option (Option code 61) if received, in its
552 responses. The server identifier returned in NAKs (if enabled) will now
553 be the globally defined value (if one) if the server cannot attribute the
554 inbound request to a known subnet.

570 the primary to accept the secondary moving from POTENTIAL-CONFLICT to
571 RESOLUTION-INTERRUPTED as well as handling the bind update process better.
572 In addition the code to resend update or update all requests has been
573 modified to send requests more often.
574 [ISC-Bugs #36810]
575 [ISC-Bugs #20352]

d9b2a590
TM
577- By default, the server will now choose the value to use in the forward DNS
578 name from the following in order of preference:
579
580 1. FQDN option if provided by the client
581 2. Host name option if provided by the client
582 3. Configured option host-name if defined
583
584 As before, this may be overridden by defining ddns-hostname to the desired
585 value (or expression). In addition, the server logic has been extended to
586 use the value of the host name declaration if use-host-decl-names is enabled
587 and no other value is available.

598 server, when either of the values being combined contain compressed
599 components.
600 [ISC-Bugs #20558]
601
7116a34f
TM
602- Added the server-id-check parameter to the server configuration.
603 This parameter allows run-time control over whether or not a server,
604 participating in failover, verifies the dhcp-server-identifier option in
ebb1d91e 605 DHCP REQUESTs against the server's id before processing the request.
7116a34f
TM
606 Formerly, enabling this behavior was done at compilation time through
607 the use of the #define, SERVER_ID_CHECK, which has been removed from site.h
adb95d23 608 The functionality is now only available through the new runtime parameter.
7116a34f
TM
609 [ISC-Bugs #37551]
610
2775bd62
TM
611- During startup, when the server encounters a lease whose binding state is
612 FTS_BACKUP but whose pool has no configured failover peer, it will reset the
613 lease's binding state to FTS_FREE. This allows the leases to be reclaimed
614 by the server after a pool's configuration has changed from failover to
615 standalone. Prior to this such leases would remain stuck in the backup state
616 making them unavailable for assignment. Note this conversion will occur
617 whether or not the server is compiled for failover.

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

637 instance. This check is only included if the admin hasn't disabled PID
638 files.

cb0d7e7c 647- Modified Linux packet handling such that packets received via VLAN are now
acbecb2e
TM
648 seen only by the VLAN interface. Prior to this, such packets were seen by
649 both the VLAN interface and its parent (physical) interface, causing the
650 server to respond to both. Note this remains an issue for non-Linux OSs.

TM
657- Log content has been changed to more directly suggest that admins should
658 check for multiple IPv6 clients attempting to use the same DUID when only
659 abandoned addresses are available. Debug level logging will now emit counts
660 of the total number of, in-use, and abandoned addresses in a shared subnet
661 when the server finds no addresses available for a given DUID. Lastly,
662 threshold logging is now automatically disabled for shared subnets whose
663 total number of possible addresses exceeds (2^64)-1.
664 [ISC-Bugs #26376]
665 [ISC-Bugs #38131]

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

45adf35c
TM
678- Corrected inconsistencies in dhcrelay's setting the upper interface hop count
679 limit such that it now sets it to 32 when the upstream address is a multicast
680 address per RFC 3315 Section 20. Prior to this if the -u argument preceded
681 the -l argument on the command line or if the same interface was specified
682 for both; the logic to set the hop limit count for the upper interface was
683 skipped. This caused the hop count limit to be set to the default value
684 (typically 1) in the outbound upstream packets.

6980ae03 848 Changes since 4.2.0 (new features)
51b8a8a0
SR
849
850- If a client renews before 'dhcp-cache-threshold' percent of its lease
851 has elapsed (default 25%), the server will reuse the allocated lease
852 (provide a lease within the currently allocated lease-time) rather
853 than extend or renew the lease. This absolves the server of needing
854 to perform an fsync() operation on the lease database before reply,
855 which improves performance. [ISC-Bugs #22228]
80778e94 856 Updated this patch to support asynchronous DDNS. If the server is
adb95d23 857 attempting to do DDNS on a lease it should be updated and written to
4809ef5c 858 disk even if that wouldn't be necessary due to the thresholding.
8cd88e20 859 [ISC-Bugs #26311]
51b8a8a0 860
6980ae03
SR
861- The 'no available billing' log line now also logs the name of the last
862 matching billing class tried before failing to provide a billing.
863 [ISC-Bugs #21759]
864
32e651c4
SR
865- A problem with missing get_hw_addr function when --enable-use-sockets
866 was used is now solved on GNU/Linux, BSD and GNU/Hurd systems. Note
867 that use-sockets feature was not tested on those systems. Client and
868 server code no longer use MAX_PATH constant that is not defined on
3cb6f9bb 869 GNU/Hurd systems. [ISC-Bugs #25979]
32e651c4 870
67418698
SR
871- Add a perl script in the contrib directory, dhcp-lease-list.pl, which
872 can parse v4 lease files and output the lease information in a more
873 human friendly manner. This was written by Christian Hammers with
874 some updates by vom and ISC. This is contributed code and is not
875 supported by ISC; however it may be useful to some users.
876 [ISC-Bugs #20680]
877
a7341359 878- Add support in v6 for on-commit, on-expire and on-release.
4809ef5c 879 [ISC-Bugs #27912]
a7341359 880

SR
881- Add support for using classes with v6.
882 [ISC-Bugs #26510]
883
d7d9c0c7
SR
884- Update the DDNS code to current standards and allow for sharing
885 of DDNS entries between v4 and v6 clients. The new code is used
886 if the ddns-update-style is set to "standard", the older code is
887 still available if ddns-update-style is set to "interim". The
888 oldest DDNS code "ad-hoc" has been removed. Thanks to Thomas Pegeot
889 who submitted a patch for this issue. This patch is based on
890 that work with some modifications.
64fb661c 891 [ISC-Bugs #21139]
1534fff7 892
cde11a4c
SR
893- Add a configuration option to the server to suppress using fsync().
894 Enabling this option will mean that fsync() is never called. This
895 may provide better performance but there is also a risk that a lease
896 will not be properly written to the disk after it has been issued
897 to a client and before the server stops. Using this option is
898 not recommended.
64fb661c 899 [ISC-Bugs #34810]
cde11a4c 900
f88446f1
SR
901- Add some logging statements to indicate when the server is ready
902 to serve. One statement is emitted after the server has finished
903 reading its files and is about to enter the dispatch loop.
904 This is "Server starting service.".
905 The second is emitted when a server determines that both it and
906 its failover peer are in the normal state.
907 This is "failover peer <name>: Both servers normal."
64fb661c 908 [ISC-Bugs #33208]
f88446f1 909
619304cd
SR
910- Add support for accessing options from v6 relays. The v6relay
911 statement allows the administrator to choose which relay to
912 use when searching for an option, see the dhcp-options man page
6b9c9f87
SR
913 for a description. The host-identifier option has also been
914 updated to support the use of relay options, see the dhcpd.conf
619304cd
SR
915 man page for a description.
916 [ISC-Bugs #19598]
917
e54ff84f 918- When doing DDNS if there isn't an appropriate zone statement attempt
80778e94 919 to find a reasonable nameserver via a DNS resolver. This restores
e54ff84f
SR
920 some functionality that was lost in the transition to asynchronous
921 DDNS. Due to the lack of security and increase in fragility of the
922 system when using this feature we strongly recommend the use of
923 appropriate zone statements rather than using this functionality.
924 [ISC-Bugs #30461]
925
61ef216b
SR
926- Add support for specifying the address from which to send
927 DDNS updates on the DHCP server. There are two new options
928 "ddns-local-address4" and "ddns-local-address6" that each take
929 one instance of their respective address types.
930 [ISC-Bugs #34779]
4d079f0e 931
38ee81bd
SR
932- Add ignore-client-uids option in the server. This option causes
933 the server to not record a client's uid in its lease. This
934 violates the specification but may also be useful when a client
935 can dual boot using different client ids but the same mac address.
6b9c9f87 936 Thank you to Brian De Wolf at Cal Poly Pomona for the patch.

4889a646 963
01a44a77 964- Cleaned up some compiler warnings
7dc4e69c 965
01a44a77
SR
966- An optimization described in the failover protocol draft is now included,
967 which permits a DHCP server operating in communications-interrupted state
968 to 'rewind' a lease to the state most recently transmitted to its peer,
969 greatly increasing a server's endurance in communications-interrupted.
970 This is supported using a new 'rewind state' record on the dhcpd.leases
971 entry for each lease.
c5bc8b1a 972
01a44a77 973- Fix the trace code which was broken by the changes to the DDNS code.
d0a10f6a 974
01a44a77
SR
975- Update the fsync code to work with the changes to the DDNS code. It now
976 uses a timer instead of noticing if there are no more packets to process.
dc9d7b08 977
01a44a77
SR
978- When constructing the DNS name structure from a text string append
979 the root to relative names. This satisfies a requirement in the DNS
980 library that names be absolute instead of relative and prevents DHCP
981 from crashing. [ISC-Bugs #21054]
a24b9f23 982
01a44a77
SR
983- "The LDAP Patch" that has been circulating for some time, written by
984 Brian Masney and S.Kalyanasundraram and maintained for application to
985 the DHCP-4 sources by David Cantrell has been included. Please be
986 advised that these sources were contributed, and do not yet meet the
987 high standards we place on production sources we include by default.
988 As a result, the LDAP features are only included by using a compile-time
989 option which defaults off, and if you enable it you do so under your
990 own recognizance. We will be improving this software over time.
991 [ISC-Bugs #17741]
c5bc8b1a 992

cc17cbc3 995
01a44a77
SR
996! Accept a client id of length 0 while hashing. Previously the server would
997 exit if it attempted to hash a zero length client id, providing attackers
998 with a simple denial of service attack. [ISC-Bugs #21253]
999 CERT: VU#541921 - CVE: CVE-2010-2156

08b2d347 1002
01a44a77
SR
1003- Modify the exception handling for initial context creation. Previously
1004 we would try and clean up before exiting. This could present problems
1005 when the cleanup required part of the context that wasn't available. It
1006 also didn't do much as we exited afterwards anyway. Now we simply log
1007 the error and exit. [ISC-Bugs #21093]
ad4001ce 1008
01a44a77
SR
1009- A bug was fixed that could cause the DHCPv6 server to advertise/assign a
1010 previously allocated (active) lease to a client that has changed subnets,
1011 despite being on different shared networks. Dynamic prefixes specifically
1012 allocated in shared networks also now are not offered if the client has
1013 moved. [ISC-Bugs #21152]
3cb6f9bb 1014
01a44a77 1015- Add some debugging output for use with the DDNS code. [ISC-Bugs #20916]
f6dc164f 1016

SR
1017- Fix the trace code to handle timing events better and to truncate a file
1018 before using instead of overwriting it. [ISC-Bugs #20969]
4b8251a0 1019
01a44a77
SR
1020- Modify the determination of the default TTL to use for DDNS updates.
1021 The user may still configure the ttl via ddns-ttl. The default for
1022 both v4 and v6 is now 1/2 the (preferred) lease time with a limit. The
1023 previous defaults (1/2 lease time without a limit for v4 and a default
1024 value for v6) may be used by defining USE_OLD_DDNS_TTL in site.h

SR
1048- 'get-host-names true;' now also works even if 'use-host-decl-names true;'
1049 was also configured. The nature of this repair also fixes another
1050 error; the host-name supplied by a client is no longer overridden by a
1051 reverse lookup of the lease address. Thanks to a patch from Wilco Baan

1138- Handle pipe failures more gracefully. Some OSes pass a SIGPIPE
1139 signal to a process and will kill the process if the signal isn't

1227- 'dhclient' no longer waits a random interval after first starting up to
1228 begin in the INIT state. This conforms to RFC 2131, but elects not to
9a111ee8 1229 implement a 'SHOULD' direction in section 4.1. The goal of this change
73c83820 1230 is to start up faster. [ISC-Bugs #19660]

1231
1232- Added 'initial-delay' parameter that specifies maximum amount of time
1233 before client goes to the INIT state. The default value is 0. In previous
1234 versions of the code client could wait up to 5 seconds. The old behavior
5d082abd 1235 may be restored by using 'initial-delay 5;' in the client config file.

1237
1238- ICMP ping-check should now sit closer to precisely the number of seconds
1239 configured (or default 1), due to making use of the new microsecond
1240 scale timer internally to dhcpd. This corrects a bug where the server
1241 may immediately timeout an ICMP ping-check if it was made late in the
73c83820 1242 current second. [ISC-Bugs #19660]

1243
1244- The DHCP client will schedule renewal and rebinding events in
1245 microseconds if the DHCP server provided a lease-time that would result
1246 in sub-1-second timers. This corrects a bug where a 2-second or lower
1247 lease-time would cause the DHCP client to enter an infinite loop by
73c83820 1248 scheduling renewal at zero seconds. [ISC-Bugs #19660]
5d082abd

1250- Client lease records are recorded at most once every 15 seconds. This

1253
1254- To defend against RFC 2131 non-compliant DHCP servers which fail to
1255 advertise a lease-time (either mangled, or zero in value) the DHCP
1256 client now adds the server to the reject list ACL and returns to INIT
1257 state to hopefully find an RFC 2131 compliant server (or retry in INIT
73c83820 1258 forever). [ISC-Bugs #19660]

1271 configuration parameter, in the case of an agent not covered by a configured
1272 subnet the root configuration area is examined. Server now also returns

1492! Previously the server code was relaxed to allow packets with zero
1493 length client ids to be processed. Under some situations use of
1494 zero length client ids can cause the server to go into an infinite
1495 loop. As such ids are not valid according to RFC 2132 section 9.14
1496 the server no longer accepts them. Client ids with a length of 1
1497 are also invalid but the server still accepts them in order to
1498 minimize disruption. The restriction will likely be tightened in
1499 the future to disallow ids with a length of 1.

1570 from the server to the script code via environment variables.
1571 These variables are of the form requested_<option_name>=1 with
1572 the option name being the same as used in the new_* and old_*

1577 to a failover peer matches the server id of the server. This support
1578 is enabled by editing the file includes/site.h and uncommenting the

1662- Failover port configuration can now be left to defaults (port 647) as
1663 described in the -12 revision of the Failover draft (and assigned by
4b97eaff 1664 IANA). Thanks in part to a patch from David Cantrell at Red Hat.

1667 rather than using a broadcast address. Thanks to a patch from David
1668 Cantrell at Red Hat.

PS
1673- Added client -D option to specify DUID type to send.
1674
9e3eb22a
DH
1675- A new failover configuration parameter has been introduced for those
1676 environments where DHCP servers can be reasonably guaranteed to be
1677 "down" when the failover TCP socket is severed, "auto-partner-down".
1678 This parameter is not generally safe, and by default is disabled, so
1679 please carefully review the documentation of this parameter in the
1680 dhcpd.conf(5) manpage before determining to use it yourself.
1681
33ea4622
DH
1682- Added a configuration function, 'gethostname()', which calls the system
1683 function of the same name and presents the results as a data expression.
1684 This function can be used to incorporate the system level hostname of
1685 the system the DHCP software is operating on in responses or queries (such
1686 as including a failover partner's hostname in a dhcp message or binding
1687 scope, or having a DHCP client send any system hostname in the host-name or
1688 FQDN options by default).
1689
5a671e87
DH
1690- The dhcp-renewal-time and dhcp-rebinding-time options may now be configured
1691 for DHCPv4 operation and used independently of the dhcp-lease-time
1692 calculations. Invalid renew and rebinding times (e.g., greater than the
1693 determined lease time) are omitted.
1694
adb95d23 1695- Processing the DHCP to DNS server transactions in an asynchronous fashion,
45adf35c 1696 the DHCP server or client can now continue with its processing while
98bf1607 1697 awaiting replies from the DNS server.
c900c5b2
DH
1698

1700 extended to attempt to match DHCPv6 clients by the last octets of a
1701 DUID-LL or DUID-LLT provided by the client.

1708
47e6eb82
DH
1709- The notorious 'option <unknown> ... larger than buffer' log line,
1710 which is seen in some malformed DHCP client packets, was modified.
1711 It now logs the universe name, and does not log the length values
1712 (which are bogus corruption read from the packet anyway). It also
1713 carries a hopefully more useful explanation.
1714
159c89d7
EH
1715- Suppress spurious warnings from configure about --datarootdir

1aa0fe5e
DH
1717- A bug was fixed that caused the server not to answer some valid Solicit
1718 and Request packets, if the dynamic range covering any requested addresses
1719 had been deleted from configuration.

cd51403d
SR
1721- Update the code to deal with GCC 4.3. This included two sets of changes.
1722 The first is to the configuration files to include the use of
571c38b0 1723 AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS. The second is to deal with return values that
cd51403d

1729 free not on its queue' error messages, thanks to a patch from Frode
1730 Nordahl.

PS
1732- Fix a build error in dhcrelay, using older versions of gcc with
1733 dhcpv6 disabled.

4b97eaff 1736 patch from David Cantrell at Red Hat.

1738- Fixed a cosmetic bug where pretty-printing valid domain-search options would
1739 result in an erroneous error log message ('garbage in format string').
1740
f9453d21
DH
1741- A bug in DLPI packet transmission (Solaris, HP/UX) that caused the server
1742 to stop receiving packets is fixed. The same fix also means that the MAC
1743 address will no longer appear 'bogus' on DLPI-based systems.
1744
1745- A bug in select handling was discovered where the results of one select()
1746 call were discarded, causing the server to process the next select() call
1747 and use more system calls than required. This has been repaired - the
1748 sockets will be handled after the first return from select(), resulting in
1749 fewer system calls.
1750
a3dcc0b1
DH
1751- The update-conflict-detection feature would leave an FQDN updated without
1752 a DHCID (still currently implemented as a TXT RR). This would cause later
1753 expiration or release events to fail to remove the domain name. The feature
1754 now also inserts the client's up to date DHCID record, so records may safely
1755 be removed at expiration or release time. Thanks to a patch submitted by
1756 Christof Chen.
1757
95fd7038
DH
1758- Memory leak in the load_balance_mine() function is fixed. This would
1759 leak ~20-30 octets per DHCPDISCOVER packet while failover was in use
1760 and in normal state.
1761
1762- Various compilation fixes have been included for the memory related
1763 DEBUG #defines in includes/site.h.
1764
8a3c1e33
PS
1765- Fixed Linux client script 'unary operator expected' errors with DHCPv6.

1768 to be double-quoted. Also allow server-provided hostname to
1769 override hostnames 'localhost' and '(none)'.

DH
1771- Fixed failover reconnection retry code to continue to retry to reconnect
1772 rather than restarting the listener.

DH
1774- Compilation on Solaris with USE_SOCKETS defined in includes/site.h has
1775 been repaired. Other USE_ overrides should work better.
1776
1777- A check for the local flavor of IFNAMSIZ had a broken 'else' condition,
1778 that probably still resulted in the correct behaviour (but wouldn't use
1779 a larger defined value provided by the host OS).
1780
350576c5
DH
1781- Fixed a bug where an OMAPI socket disconnection message would not result
1782 in scheduling a failover reconnection, if the link had not negotiated a
1783 failover connect yet (e.g.: connection refused, asynch socket connect()
1784 timeouts).

1787 in failover state records.

8a4e543b
DH
1789! A stack overflow vulnerability was fixed in dhclient that could allow
1790 remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands as root on the system,
1791 or simply terminate the client, by providing an over-long subnet-mask
1b12d999 1792 option. CERT VU#410676 - CVE-2009-0692

1797- Versions 3.0.x syntax with multiple name->code option definitions is now
1798 supported. Note that, similarly to 3.0.x, for by-code lookups only the
1799 last option definition is used.

PS
1801- Fixed a bug where a time difference of greater than 60 seconds between a
1802 failover pair could cause the primary to crash on contact with the
1803 secondary. Thanks to a patch from Steinar Haug.

b8d45c67
DH
1808- Secondary servers in a failover pair will now perform ddns removals if
1809 they had performed ddns updates on a lease that is expiring, or was
1810 released through the primary. As part of the same fix, stale binding scopes
1811 will now be removed if a change in identity of a lease's active client is
1812 detected, rather than simply if a lease is noticed to have expired (which it
1813 may have expired without a failover server noticing in some situations).
1814
583c1c16
DH
1815- A patch supplied by David Cantrell at RedHat was applied that detects
1816 invalid calling parameters given to the ns_name_ntop() function.
1817 Specifically, it detects if the caller passed a pointer and size pair
1818 that causes the pointer to integer-wrap past zero.
1819
e4e3a2ab
DH
1820! Fixed a fenceposting bug when a client had two host records configured,
1821 one using 'uid' and the other using 'hardware ethernet'. CVE-2009-1892
95f5d38c 1822

1824 the existence of the linked signal handler before calling it.
1825
2267da84
DH
1826- Both host and subnet6 configuration groups are now included whether a
1827 fixed-address6 (DHCPv6) is in use or not. Host scoped configuration takes
1828 precedence. This fixes two bugs, one where host scoped configuration
1829 would not be included from a non-fixed-address6 host record, and the equal
1830 and opposite bug where subnet6 scoped configuration would not be used when
571c38b0 1831 over-riding values were not present in a matching fixed-address6 host

1832 configuration.

1834- ./configure now checks to ensure the intX_t and u_intX_t types are defined,
1835 correcting a compilation failure when using Sun's compiler.
1836
0493fdca
SR
1837- Modified the handling of a connection to avoid releasing the omapi io
1838 object for the connection while it is still in use. One symptom from
1839 this error was a segfault when a failover secondary attempted to connect
1840 to the failover primary if their clocks were not synchronized.
1841
95bba8b6
SR
1842- Clean up to allow compilation with gcc 2.95.4 on FreeBSD. Remove an
1843 extra semi-colon from common/dns.c and moved setting a variable to NULL
1844 in server/dhcpv6.c to allow the compiler to decide that the variable
9a111ee8 1845 was always properly set.

1874 in future releases.

1882- DDNS removal routines were updated so that the DHCID is not removed until
1883 the client has been deprived of all A and AAAA records (not only the last
1884 one of either of those). This resolves a bug where dual stack clients
1885 would not be able to regain their names after either expiration event.

1956 shared-network to contain the subnet. However, all configuration
1957 parameters within the subnet more intuitively belong "to any client
1958 on that interface", or rather the synthesized shared-network. So,
1959 when a shared-network is synthesized, it is used to contain the
1960 configuration present inside the subnet {} clause. This means that
1961 the configuration will be valid for all clients on that network, not
1962 just those addressed out of the stated subnet. If you intended the
1963 opposite, the workaround is to explicitly configure an empty
1964 shared-network.
1965
1966- A bug was fixed where Information-Request processing was not sourcing
1967 configured option values.
1968
1969- A warning was added since the DHCPv6 processing software does not yet
1970 support class statements.
1971
adb95d23 1972- Compilation warnings on GCC 4.3 relating to bootp source address
dd484ced
DH
1973 selection were repaired.
1974
ecddae64
DH
1975- The v6 BSD socket method was updated to use a single UDP BSD socket
1976 no matter how many interfaces are involved, differentiating the
1977 interfaces the packets were received on by the interface index supplied
1978 by the OS.
1979
1980- The relay agent no longer listens to the All DHCP Servers Multicast
1981 address.
1982
1983- A bug was fixed in data_string_sprintfa() where va_start was only called
1984 once for two invocations of vsprintf() variants.
1985
d104d45b
DH
1986- ERO (RFC 4994) server support.
1987
1988- Basic and partial DHCPv6 leasequery support.
1989
1990- Reliable DHCPv6 release (previous behavior, send release and exit, is
1991 still available with dhclient -6 -1 -r).
1992
01a54c17 1993 Changes since 4.0.0 (new features)
3c12f746 1994
6d7f9584
FD
1995- Added DHCPv6 rapid commit support.
1996
4cafb815 1997- Added explicit parser support for zero-length DHCP options, such as
6d7f9584 1998 rapid-commit, via format code 'Z'.
4cafb815 1999
022fe95e
EH
2000- It's now possible to update the "ends" field of a lease with OMAPI.
2001 This is useful if you want not only to release a lease, but also make
2002 it available for reuse right away. Hat tip to Christof Chen.
2003
9a111ee8 2004- Fixed definition of the iaaddr hash functions to use the correct
1dcc3612
SK
2005 functions when referencing and dereferencing memory.
2006
aabfa4de
FD
2007- Some definitions not in phase with the IANA registry were updated.
2008
0674055a
FD
2009- Allocated interface IDs are better controlled ('u' bit set to zero,
2010 reserved IDs avoided).
2011
b51c785f
FD
2012- Unicast options are taken into account only for RENEWs.
2013
900405e9
FD
2014- NoAddrsAvail answers to SOLICITs are always ADVERTISEs even when a SOLICIT
2015 carries a rapid-commit option.
2016
96b620e5
FD
2017- Return in place of raise an impossible condition when one tries to release
2018 an empty active lease.
2019
be62cf06
FD
2020- Timer granularity is now 1/100s in the DHCPv6 client.
2021
01a54c17
EH
2022- The dhclient-script was updated to create a host route for the default
2023 gateway if the supplied subnet mask for an IPv4 address was a /32. This
2024 allows the client to work in 'captive' network environments, where the
2025 operator does not want clients to crosstalk directly.
2026
adb95d23 2027- MINUS tokens should be parsable again.
01a54c17
EH
2028
2029- Multiple (up to "delayed-ack x;" maximum) DHCPv4 packets are now queued and
2030 released in bursts after single fsync() events when the upper limit is
2031 reached or if the receiving sockets go dry. The practical upshot is
2032 that fsync-coupled server performance is now multiplicitively increased.
2033 The default delayed ack limit is 28. Thanks entirely to a patch from
2034 Christof Chen.
2035
2036 Changes since 4.0.0 (bug fixes)
2037
2038- DHCP now builds on AIX.
2039
2040- Exit with warning when DHCPv6-specific statements are used in the
2041 config file but -6 is not specified.
2042
2043- Fixed "--version" flag in dhcrelay
2044
2045- The 'min-secs' configuration parameter's log message has been updated to
2046 be more helpful.
2047
2048- The warning logged when an address range doesn't fit in the subnets
2049 they were declared has been updated to be more helpful and identify the
2050 typo in configuration that created the spanning addresses.
2051
2052- A bug in failover pool rebalancing that caused POOLREQ message ping-pongs
2053 was repaired.
2054
2055- A flaw in failover pool rebalancing that could cause POOLREQ messages to
2056 be sent outside of the min-balance/max-balance scheduled intervals has
2057 been repaired.
2058
2059- A cosmetic bug during potential-conflict recovery that caused the peer's
2060 'conflict-done' state message to be logged as 'unknown-state' has been
2061 repaired. It is now logged correctly.
2062
49f61135
DH
2063- A bug was fixed where the 'giaddr' may be used to find the client's subnet
2064 rather than its own 'ciaddr'.
2065
41d4652f
DH
2066- A log message was introduced to clarify the situation where a failover
2067 'address' parameter (the server's local address) did not resolve to an
2068 IPv4 address.
2069
2c9bf1f4
DH
2070- The minimum site code value was set to 224 in 3.1.0 to track RFC3942. This
2071 broke a lot of legacy site local configurations. The new code in place will
2072 track site local space minimum option codes and logs a warning to encourage
2073 updates and exploration of site local code migration problems. Option
2074 codes less than 128 in site local spaces remain inaccessible.
2075
2076- A possible relay agent option bug was repaired where random server
2077 initialization state may have been used to signal the relay agent
2078 information options sub-option code for the 'END' of the option space.
2079
cff9b78f
SK
2080- Fixes to allow code to compile and run on Solaris 9.
2081
c4d29896
SK
2082- Fixes to allow code to compile on Mac OS X Leopard (10.5).
2083
57fcb8d9
SK
2084- When server is configured with options that it overrides, a warning is
2085 issued when the configuration file is read, rather than at the time the
2086 option is overridden. This was important, because the warning was given
9a111ee8 2087 every time the option was overridden, which could create a lot of
57fcb8d9
SK
2088 unnecessary logging.
2089
219a65eb
DH
2090- Fixed a compilation problems on platforms that define a value for FDDI,
2091 which conflicts with a dhcp configuration syntax token by the same name.
2092
ffdf3c8c
DH
2093- When a failover server suspects it has encountered a peer running a
2094 version 3.0.x failover server, a warning that the failover wire protocol
2095 is incompatible is printed.
2096
2097- The failover server no longer issues a floating point error if it encounters
2098 a previously undefined option code.
2099
00a002fc
MA
2100- Fix startup error messages to report a missing "subnet6 declaration", rather
2101 than a missing "subnet declaration", when running as a DHCPv6 server.
2102
9a111ee8 2103- DHCPv6 client timestamp in DUID was based on the year 1970 rather
7e9f7a1b
FD
2104 than the year 2000.
2105
e2cfde76
FD
2106- Warn when attempting to use a hardware parameter in DHCPv6.
2107
cabdb9b1
FD
2108- DHCPv6 released resources are now marked as released by the client.
2109
5d89d60f
FD
2110- 'Soft' bindings have no more side-effects.
2111
61d75ea2
DH
2112 Changes since 4.0.0b3
2113
2114- The reverse dns name for PTR updates on IPv6 addresses has been fixed to
2115 use ip6.arpa. rather than default to in-addr.arpa and require user
2116 configuration.
76db44f9 2117
e32529a5
EH
2118- dhc6_lease_destroy() and dhc6_ia_destroy() now set lease and IA pointers
2119 to NULL after freeing, to prevent subsequent accesses to freed memory.
2120
9a111ee8 2121- The DHCPv6 server would not send the preference option unless the
76db44f9
SK
2122 client requested it, via the ORO. This has been fixed, so the DHCPv6
2123 server will always send the preference value if it is configured.
e4a6be15 2124
9a111ee8
TM
2125- When addresses were passed as hints to the server in an IA, they were
2126 incorrectly handled, sometimes being treated as an error. Now the
6f76de58
SK
2127 server will treat these as hints and ignore them if it cannot supply
2128 a requested address.
2129
703873ab
DH
2130- If the client had multiple addresses, and one expired (was not renewed
2131 by the server), the client would continue to attempt to renew the same
2132 old address over and over. Now, the client will omit any expired
2133 addresses from future Confirm, Renew, or Rebind messages.
2134
2135- dhclient -6 will now select renew/rebind timers based upon the longest
2136 address expiration time rather than the shortest expiration time, in
2137 order to avoid cascading renewals in the event a server elects not to
2138 extend one of multiple IAADDR leases.
2139
b024480e
DH
2140- The server now limits clients that request multiple addresses to one
2141 address per IA by default, which can be adjusted through the
2142 "limit-addrs-per-ia" configuration option.
2143
c0216cb7
DH
2144- The DHCPv6 client now issues fresh transaction IDs on Renew and Rebind
2145 message exchanges, rather than using the most recent ID.
2146
1ac57173
FD
2147- The DHCPv6 server now replies to Information-Request messages.
2148
83835822
DH
2149- A bug was fixed in the dhclient-script for BSDs to correctly carry error
2150 codes through some conditions.
2151
c54db708
FD
2152- The parsing of some options in the dhclient lease file, in particular
2153 the success DHCPv6 status-code, was fixed.
2154
e5d83524
DH
2155- A bug was fixed that caused the DHCPv6 ORO option to be corrupted with
2156 seemingly random values.
2157
821f2dda
DH
2158- A reference overleak in DHCPv6 shared network processing was repaired.
2159
f8b3c6f4
DH
2160- ./configure now autodetects local database locations rather than trying
2161 to put dhcpd.leases and dhclient.leases in /usr/local/var/db, which no
2162 one ever has.
2163
9a111ee8
TM
2164- Regression fix for bug where server advertised a IPv6 address in
2165 response to a SOLICIT but would not return the address in response
b9137d42
SK
2166 to a REQUEST.
2167
9f1d5a2f
DH
2168- A bug was fixed where the DHCPv6 server puts the NoAddrsAvail status
2169 code in the IA_NA was fixed. The status code now appears in the root
2170 level.
2171
e4a6be15
DH
2172 Changes since 4.0.0b2
2173
65cf86d7
EH
2174- Clarified error message when lease limit exceeded
2175
b1d3778c
DH
2176- Relative time may now be used as a qualifier for 'allow' and 'deny' access
2177 control lists. These directives may be used to assist in re-addressing
2178 address pools without having to constantly reconfigure the server. Please
2179 see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more information on allow/deny 'after time' syntax.
2180 Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen.
2181
bead14ea
DH
2182- The server will now include multiple IA_NA's and multiple IAADDRs within
2183 them, if advertised by the client. It still only seeks to allocate one
2184 new address.
2185
f765ec36
SK
2186 Changes since 4.0.0b1
2187
75135a3f 2188- Use different paths for PID and lease files when running in DHCPv4
adb95d23 2189 or DHCPv6 mode, so that servers for both protocols can be run
75135a3f
EH
2190 simultaneously on a single interface.
2191
5c2d55c7
EH
2192- Fixed a buffer overflow error which could have allowed a denial
2193 of service under unusual server configurations
2194
2195- Eliminated a spurious error message from the client
2196
9a111ee8 2197- A number of bugs with the internal handling of lease state on the
f765ec36 2198 server have been fixed. Some of these could cause server crashes.
fa9b593d 2199
edb1283e
DH
2200- The peer_wants_leases() changes pulled up from 3.1.0 were corrected,
2201 'never used' leases will no longer consistently shift between servers
2202 on every pool rebalance run.
2203
c71c6399
DH
2204- sendmsg()/recvmsg() control buffers are now declared in such a way to
2205 ensure they are correctly aligned on all (esp. 64-bit) architectures.
2206
5279b8f3
DH
2207- The client leasing subsystem was streamlined and corrected to account
2208 more closely for changes in client link attachment selection.
2209
ab3a540f 2210 Changes since 4.0.0a3
763cba6b 2211
9a111ee8 2212- The DHCP server no longer requires a "ddns-update-style" statement,
884a458f
SK
2213 and now defaults to "none", which means DNS updates are disabled.
2214
fa9b593d
DH
2215- Log messages when failover peer names mismatch have been improved to
2216 point out the problem.
2217
9a111ee8 2218- Bug where server advertised a IPv6 address in response to a SOLICIT
1b5053b5
SK
2219 but would not return the address in response to a REQUEST. Thanks to
2220 Dennis Kou for finding the bug.
2221

2223 reported independently by Jothilingam Vasu and Dennis Kou.
2224
eaf7eb17
DH
2225- Fixed a ./configure bug where compile tests were failing due to
2226 "-Werror" (unused variable) rather than the actual test failure. Lead
2227 to inconsistent and unworkable auto-configurations.
2228
109e00db
DH
2229- Compilation with DLPI and -Werror has been repaired.

9a111ee8 2231- Error in decoding IA_NA option if multiple interfaces are present
3ad9d48f
SK
2232 fixed by Marcus Goller.
2233
8eab95f2
DH
2234- DHCPv6 server Confirm message processing has been enhanced - it no
2235 longer replies only to clients with host {} records, it now replies
2236 as directed in RFC3315 section 18.2.2 - that is, to all clients
2237 regardless of the existence of bindings.
2238
07b9a351
DH
2239- A core dump during expired lease cleanup has been repaired.
2240
7285af30
DH
2241- DDNS updates state information are now stored in 'binding scopes' that
2242 follow the leases through their lifecycles. This enables DDNS teardowns
2243 on leases that are assigned and expired inbetween a server restart (the
2244 state is recovered from dhcpd.leases). Arbitrary user-specified binding
2245 scopes ('set var = "value";') are not yet supported.

2266 would segfault if a client attempted to renew a lease that had been
2267 loaded from persistent storage.
2268
45d545f0 2269- 'request' and 'also request' syntaxes have been added to accommodate
0c20eab3

2270 the DHCPv6 client configuration. 'send dhcp6.oro' is no longer
2271 necessary.
2272
9a111ee8
TM
2273- Bug fixed where configuration file parsing did not work with

f800f4f6
SK
2275 rapid-commit option.

f66f02cc
DH
2336 header files to include it (fixes a BSD 4.2 compile failure).
2337
2338- Duplicate dhclient-script updates for DHCPv6 to all provided scripts.
a512d11b 2339
4ba58919
DH
2340- DHCPv4 I/O methods that failed to sense hardware address were corrected.
2341
2342- DHCPv4 is now the default (as documented) rather than DHCPv6. The default
2343 was set to DHCPv6 to facilitate ease early development, and forgotten.
2344
2345- Corrected a segmentation violation in DHCPv4 socket processing.
2346
8ea19a71 2347- dhclient will now fork() into the background once it binds to an

2362 as v6-only. Use '-4' to run the daemons as v4-only (default. There is
2363 no support currently for both.
2364
2365- Server support for multiple IA_NA options, containing at most one
2366 IAADDR option.
2367
2368- Client support for one IA_NA option, containing any number of IAADDR
2369 options.
2370
2371- Server support for the DHCPv6 Information-request message.
2372
2373- Inappropriate unicast DHCPv6 messages sent to the server are now
2374 discarded, and this has rearchitected the IO system slightly.
2375
2376- The DHCPv6 server DUID defaults to type 1, is persistently stored in
2377 the leases database, and can be over-ridden (either completely, or by
2378 specifying type 1 or type 2).
2379
2380- The server only uses Rapid-Commit if it has been configured with the
2381 Rapid-Commit option and the client requests it.
2382
2383- DDNS support. We now update AAAA records in the same place we would
2384 update A records, if we have an IPv6 address. We also generate IP6.ARPA
2385 style names for PTR records if we're dealing with an IPv6 address. Both
2386 A and AAAA updates are done using the same 'fqdn.' virtual option space
2387 (although the DHCPv4 FQDN and DHCPv6 FQDN options are formatted
2388 differently, they both use the same code here).
2389
2390- The Linux dhclient-script attempts to set and remove assigned addresses,
2391 and to configure /etc/resolv.conf from nameserver and domain name
2392 configurations. It can be extended to configure other parameters.
2393
2394- Initial DHCPv6 lease support.
2395
2396- The IO system now tracks all local IP addresses, so that the DHCP
2397 applications (particularly the dhcrelay) can discern between what frames
2398 were transmitted to it, and what frames are being carried through it which
2399 it should not intercept.

DH
2401 Changes since 3.1.0 (Maintenance)
2402
2403- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for virgin leases always
2404 mapped to the primary. Virgin leases now have an interleaved preference
2405 between primary and secondary.
2406
2407- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for clients with no client
2408 identifier was sometimes mishashed to the peer. Load balancing during
2409 runtime and pool rebalancing were opposing.
2410
aa3e348e
DH
2411- An assertion in lease counting relating to reserved leases was repaired.
2412
e9c59645
DH
2413- The subnet-mask option inclusion now conforms with RFC2132 section 3.3;
2414 it will only appear prior to the routers option if it is present on the
2415 Parameter-Request-List. The subnet-mask option will also only be
2416 included by default (if it is not on the PRL) in response to DISCOVER
2417 or REQUEST messages.
2418
2419- The FQDN option is only supplied if the client supplied an FQDN option or
2420 if the FQDN option was explicitly requested on the PRL.
2421
c104546d
DH
2422- Dynamic BOOTP leases are now load balanced in failover.
2423
b9d0cc05
DH
2424 Changes since 3.1.0rc1
2425
adb95d23 2426- The parse warning that 'deny dynamic bootp;' must be configured for
b9d0cc05
DH
2427 failover protected subnets was removed.
2428
a512cc3a
DH
2429 Changes since 3.1.0b2
2430
2431- Failover rebalance events no longer play ping pong with round errors
2432 (moving leases between free and back to backup where there are an
2433 odd number of leases).
2434
2435- The 'pool' log line has been split into two messages, one before the
2436 rebalance run, and one after.
2437
2438- Any queued BNDACKs are transmitted before transmitting new BNDUPDs.
2439 This enforces the correct sequence of events for the remote server
2440 processing these messages.
2441
fe5b0fdd 2442 Changes since 3.1.0b1
27837f95 2443
74dc3e0b
EH
2444- Fixed a bug that caused OMAPI clients to freeze when opening lease
2445 objects.
2446
1ba87b37
EH
2447- A new server config option "fqdn-reply" specifies whether the server
2448 should send out option 81 (FQDN). Defaults to "on". If set to "off",
2449 the FQDN option is not sent, even if the client requested it. This is
2450 needed because some clients misbehave otherwise. Thanks to Christof Chen
2451 at Allianz.
2452
a58da042
EH
2453- Allow trace output files (-tf option) to be overwritten, rather than
2454 crashing dhcpd if the file already exists
2455
61252edf
EH
2456- A bug was fixed that caused dhcpd to segfault if a pool was declared
2457 outside the scope of a subnet in dhcpd.conf.
2458
27837f95
DH
2459- Some uninitialized values were repaired in dhcpleasequery.c that
2460 caused the server to abort.
2461
4d2eaafb
DH
2462- A new server config option, 'do-reverse-updates', has been added
2463 which causes the server to abstain from performing updates on PTR
2464 records. Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen at Allianz.
2465
06211b40
DH
2466- A bug was repaired in subencapsulation support, where spaces separated
2467 by empty spaces would not get included.
2468
d6614ea2
DH
2469- A bug in dhclient was repaired which caused it to send parameter request
2470 lists of 55 bytes in length no matter how long the declared PRL was.
2471
132d38f2
DH
2472- 'dhcp.c(3953): non-null pointer' has been repaired. This fixes a flaw
2473 wherein the DHCPv4 server may ignore a configured server-identifier.
2474
fc3b9c90
DH
2475- A flaw in failover startup sequences was repaired that sometimes left
2476 the primary DHCP server's pool rebalance schedules unscheduled.
2477
c9feb859
DH
2478- Corrected a flaw that broke encapsulated spaces included due to presence
2479 on the parameter request list.
2480
c57db45c
SK
2481 Changes since 3.1.0a3
2482
2483- Some spelling fixes.
98311e4b 2484
bd2bc2fa
DH
2485 Changes since 3.1.0a2
2486
2487- A bug was fixed where attempting to permit leasequeries results in a
2488 fatal internal error, "Unable to find server option 49".
2489
85edef5c
DH
2490- A bug was fixed in dhclient rendering the textual output form of the
2491 domain-search option syntax.
2492
bdddcb7d
DH
2493 Changes since 3.1.0a1
2494
2495- A bug in the FQDN universe that added FQDN codes to the NWIP universe's
2496 hash table was repaired.
2497
616d67cb
DH
2498- The servers now try harder to transmit pending binding updates when
2499 entering normal state.
2500
2501- UPDREQ/UPDREQALL handling was optimized - it no longer dequeues and
2502 requeues all pending updates. This should reduce the number of spurious
66c8f734
DH
2503 'xid mismatch' log messages.
2504
2505- An option definition referencing leak was fixed, which resulted in early
2506 termination of dhclient upon the renewal event.
616d67cb 2507
6708d944
DH
2508- Some default hash table sizes were tweaked, some upwards, some downwards.
2509 3.1.0a1's tables resulted in a reduction in default server memory use.
2510 The new selected values provide more of a zero sum (increasing the size
2511 of tables likely to be populated, decreasing the size of tables unlikely).
2512
45d545f0 2513- Lease structures appear in three separate hashes: by IP address, by UID,
6708d944
DH
2514 and by hardware address. One type of table was used for all three, and
2515 improvements to IP address hashing were applied to all three (so UID and
2516 hardware addresses were treated like 4-byte integers). There are now two
2517 types of tables, and the uid/hw hashes use functions more appropriate
2518 to their needs.
2519
2520- The max-lease-misbalance percentage no longer causes scheduled rebalance
2521 runs to be skipped: it still governs the schedule, but every scheduled
2522 run will attempt balance.
2523
a7ee93fe
DH
2524- A segfault bug in recursive encapsulation support has been corrected.
2525
98311e4b
DH
2526 Changes since 3.0 (New Features)
2527
2528- A workaround for certain STSN servers that send a mangled domain-name
2529 option was introduced for dhclient. The client will now accept corrupted
2530 server responses, if they contain a valid DHCP_MESSAGE_TYPE (OFFER, ACK,
2531 or NAK). The server will continue to not accept corrupt client packets.
2532
98bd7ca0 2533- Support for 'reserved' (pseudo-static) and BOOTP leases via failover
a55ccdd0 2534 was introduced.
98311e4b
DH
2535
2536- Support for adding, removing, and managing class and subclass statements
2537 via OMAPI.
2538
a55ccdd0
DH
2539- The failover implementation was updated to comply with revision 12 of
2540 the protocol draft.
2541
98311e4b
DH
2542- 'make install' now creates the initial zero-length dhcpd.leases file if
2543 one does not already exist on the system.
2544
b43c87ad 2545- RFC3942 compliance, site-local option spaces start at 224 now, not 128.
b43c87ad 2546
0b17f049
DH
2547- The Load Balance Algorithm was misimplemented. The current implementation
2548 matches RFC 3074.
2549
2727c1cf
DH
2550- lcase() and ucase() configuration expressions have been added which adjust
2551 their arguments from upper to lower and lower to upper cases respectively.
2714a8ef 2552 Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
2727c1cf 2553
febbd402
DH
2554- The dhclient 'reject ...;' statement, which rejects leases given by named
2555 server-identifiers, now permits address ranges to be specified in CIDR
7d7073e7 2556 notation. Thanks to a patch from David Boyce.
febbd402 2557
ee912528
DH
2558- The subnet-mask option is now supplied by default, but at lowest
2559 priority. This helps a small minority of clients that provide parameter
2560 request lists, but do not list the subnet-mask option because they were
2561 designed to interoperate with a server that behaves in this manner.
2562
2563- The FQDN option is similarly supplied even if it does not appear on the
2564 parameter request list, but not to the exclusion of options that do
2565 appear at the parameter request list. Up until now it had ultimate
2566 priority over the client's parameter request list.
2567
f7fdb216 2568- Varying option space code and length bit widths (8/16/32) are now
51202707 2569 supported. This is a milestone in achieving RFC 3925 "VIVSO" and
f7fdb216
DH
2570 DHCPv6 support.
2571
5e864416
DH
2572- A new common (server or client) option, 'db-time-format local;', has
2573 been added which prints the local time in /var/db/dhcpd.leases rather
2574 than UTC. Thanks to a patch from Ken Lalonde.
2575
b500bd4c
DH
2576- Some patches to improve DHCP Server startup speed from Andrew Matheson
2577 have been incorporated.
2578
2426234f
DH
2579- Failover pairs now implement 'MAC Affinity' on leases moving from the
2580 active to free states. Leases that belonged to the failover secondary
2581 are moved to BACKUP state rather than FREE upon exiting EXPIRED state.
2582 If lease rebalancing must move leases, it tries first to move leases
2583 that belong to the peer in need.
2584
2585- The server no longer sends POOLREQ messages unless the pool is severely
2586 misbalanced in the peer's favor (see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more details).
2587
2588- Pool rebalance events no longer happen upon successfully allocating a
2589 lease. Instead, they happen on a schedule. See 'man dhcpd.conf' for the
2590 min-balance and max-balance statements for more information.
2591
334bf491
DH
2592- The DHCP Relay Agent Information Option / Link Selection Sub-Option
2593 is now supported. (See RFC3527 for details).
2594
3004bebf
DH
2595- A new DDNS related server option, update-conflict-detection, has been
2596 added. If this option is enabled, dhcpd will perform normal DHCID
2597 conflict resolution (the default). If this option is disabled, it will
2598 instead trust the assigned name implicitly (removing any other bindings
2599 on that name). This option has not been made available in dhclient.
2600
567e8561
DH
2601- In those cases where the DHCP software manufactures an IP header (to
2602 transmit via bpf, lpf, etc), the IP TTL the software selects has been
2603 increased from 16 to 128. This is intended to match Microsoft Windows
2604 DHCP Client behaviour, to increase compatibility.
2605
a396d25f
DH
2606- 'ignore client-updates;' now has behaviour that is different from
2607 'deny client-updates;'. The client's request is not truly ignored,
2608 rather it is encouraged. Should this value be configured, the server
2609 updates DNS as though client-updates were set to 'deny'. That is, it
2610 enters into DNS whatever it is configured to do already, provided it is
2611 configured to. Then it sends a response to the client that lets the
2612 client believe it is performing client updates (which it will), probably
2613 for a different name. In essence, this lets the client do as it will,
2614 ignoring this aspect of their request.
2615
dba5803b
DH
2616- Support for compressed 'domain name list' style DHCP option contents, and
2617 in particular the domain search option (#119) was added.
2618
41e45067 2619- The DHCP LEASEQUERY protocol as defined in RFC4388 is now implemented.
6d103865
SK
2620 LEASEQUERY lets you query the DHCP server for information about a lease,
2621 using either an IP address, MAC address, or client identifier. Thanks
2622 to a patch from Justin Haddad.
2623
41e45067
DH
2624- DHCPD is now RFC2131 section 4.1 compliant (broadcast to all-ones ip and
2625 ethernet mac address) on the SCO platform specifically without any strange
2626 ifconfig hacks. Many thanks go to the Kroger Co. for donating the
2627 hardware and funding the development.
6d103865 2628
b543fea9
DH
2629- A new common configuration executable statement, execute(), has been
2630 added. This permits dhcpd or dhclient to execute a named external
2631 program with command line arguments specified from other configuration
2632 language. Thanks to a patch written by Mattias Ronnblom, gotten to us
2633 via Robin Breathe.
2634
b22de500
DH
2635- A new dhcp server option 'adaptive-lease-time-threshold' has been added
2636 which causes the server to substantially reduce lease-times if there are
2637 few (configured percentage) remaining leases. Thanks to a patch submitted
2638 from Christof Chen.
2639
96bbe8c5
SK
2640- Encapsulated option spaces within encapsulated option spaces is now
2641 formally supported.
2642
b8221d95
DH
2643 Changes since 3.0.6rc1
2644
2645- supersede_lease() now requeues leases in their respective hardware
2646 address hash bucket. This mirrors client identifier behaviour.
2647
c1e6c832
DH
2648 Changes since 3.0.5
2649
f546c28b
DH
2650- Assorted fixes for broken network devices: Packet length is now
2651 determined from the IP header length field to finally calculate the
2652 UDP payload length, because some NIC drivers return more data than
5a22eb63 2653 they actually received.
f546c28b
DH
2654
2655- UDP packets are now stored in aligned data structures.
2656
c1e6c832
DH
2657- A logic error in omapi interface code was repaired that might result in
2658 incorrectly indicating 'up' state when any flags were set, rather than
23e10d37
DH
2659 specifically the INTERFACE_REQUESTED flag. Thanks to a patch from
2660 Jochen Voss which got to us via Andrew Pollock at Debian.
c1e6c832 2661
75ab3070
DH
2662- A reference leak on binding scopes set by ddns updates was repaired.
2663
d69fb6a8 2664- A memory leak in the minires_nsendsigned() function call was repaired.
23e10d37 2665 Effectively, this leaked ~176 bytes per DDNS update.
d69fb6a8 2666
02428754
DH
2667- In the case where an "L2" DHCP Relay Agent (one that does not set giaddr)
2668 was directly attached to the same broadcast domain as the DHCP server,
2669 the RFC3046 relay agent information option was not being returned to the
2670 relay in the server's replies. This was fixed; the dhcp server no longer
2671 requires the giaddr to reply with relay agent information. Note that
2672 this also improves compatibility with L2 devices that "intercept" DHCP
2673 packets and expect relay agent information even in unicast (renewal)
23e10d37
DH
2674 replies. Thanks to a patch from Pekka Silvonen.
2675
2676- A bug was fixed where the BOOTP header 'sname' field had a value, the
2677 copy written to persistent storage was actually the contents of the
2678 'file' field.
02428754 2679
ecde99a3
DH
2680- A bug was fixed where the nwip virtual option space was referencing
2681 the fqdn option's virtual option space's option cache.
2682
67674ffb
DH
2683- Timestamp parsing errors that indicated missing "minutes" fields rather
2684 than the actually missing "seconds" fields have been repaired thanks to
2685 a patch from Kevin Steves.
2686
830ebc4c
DH
2687- A grammar error in the dhclient.8 manpage was repaired thanks to a patch
2688 from Chris Wagner.
2689
c759db75
DH
2690- Several spelling typos were repaired, and some cross-references to other
2691 relevant documents were included in the manpages, thanks to a patch
2692 by Andrew Pollock which got to us via Tomas Pospisek.
2693
9aa3f3a5
DH
2694- Some bugs were fixed in the 'emergency relay agent options hologram'
2695 which is used to retain relay agent option contents from when the
2696 client was in INIT or REBIND states. This should solve problems where
2697 relay agent options were not echoed from the server, even when giaddr
2698 was set.
2699
3d0c598a
DH
2700- dhclient now closes its descriptor to dhclient.leases prior to executing
2701 dhclient-script. Thanks to a patch from Tomas Pospisek.
2702
d5b6835f
DH
2703- The server's "by client-id" and "by hardware address" hash table lists
2704 are now sorted according to the preference to re-allocate that lease to
2705 returning clients. This should eliminate pool starvation problems
2706 arising when "INIT" clients were given new leases rather than presently
2707 active ones.
2708
02428754 2709 Changes since 3.0.5rc1
0a73b7b6 2710
901306d5 2711- A bug was repaired in fixes to the dhclient, which sought to run the
0a73b7b6
SK
2712 dhclient-script with the 'EXPIRE' state should it receive a NAK in
2713 response to a REQUEST. The client now iterates the PREINIT state
2714 after the EXPIRE state, so that interfaces that might be configured
2715 'down' can be brought back 'up' and initialized.
2716
87a08ccc
DH
2717- DHCPINFORM handling for clients that properly set ciaddr and come to the
2718 server via a relay aget has been repaired.
2719
6da113fb
DH
2720 Changes since 3.0.4
2721
2722- A warning that host statements declared within subnet or shared-network
2723 scopes are actually global has been added.
2724
2725- The default minimum lease time (if min-lease-time was not specified)
2726 was raised from 0 to 300. 0 is not thought to be sensible, and is
2727 known to be damaging.
2728
2729- Added additional fatal error sanity checks surrounding lease binding
2730 state count calculations (free/active counts used for failover pool
2731 balancing).
2732
dcc557db
DH
2733- Some time value size fixes in 3.0.4 brought on from FreeBSD /usr/ports were
2734 misapplied to server values rather than client values. The server no longer
2735 advertises 8-byte lease-time options when on 64-bit platforms.
2736
1b2ab55f
DH
2737- A bug where leases not in ACTIVE state would get billed to billed classes
2738 (classes with lease limitations) was fixed. Non-active leases OFFERed
2739 to clients are no longer billed (but billing is checked before offering).
2740
e48891e8
DH
2741- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated in regard to the ddns-domainname
2742 configuration option - the default configuration and results should be
2743 more clear now.
2744
6cbc6629
DH
2745- If the dhclient were to receive a DHCPNAK while it was in the RENEW
2746 state (and consequently, had an active, 'bound' address and related
2747 configuration options), it would fail to 'tear down' this information
2748 before proceeding into INIT state. dhclient now iterates the dhclient-
2749 script with the 'EXPIRE' action to cause these teardowns prior to entering
1d3bfb17 2750 INIT state. Thanks to a patch from Chris Zimmerman.
6cbc6629 2751
c5fec5fa
DH
2752- The omapi.1 manpage had some formatting errors repaired thanks to a patch
2753 from Yoshihiko Sarumaru.
2754
33e1cb2b
DH
2755- A few lines of code that were failover-specific were moved within
2756 #if defined() clauses so that compilation without failover could be
2757 made possible.
2758
2bddf829
DH
2759- The log message emitted when the 'leased-address' value was not available
2760 in dhcpd.conf "executable statements" has been updated to be more helpful.
2761 Manpage information for this value has also been updated.
2762
87578987
DH
2763- Abandoned or dissociated (err condition) leases now remove any related
2764 dynamic dns bindings. Thanks to a patch from Patrick Schoo.
2765
e77c575f
DH
2766- Attempting to write a new lease file to replace a corrupt (due to
2767 encountering non-retryable errors during writing) lease file should
2768 no longer result in an infinite recursion.
2769
2178df03
DH
2770- Host declaration hardware addresses and client identifiers may only be
2771 configured once. dhcpd will now fail to load config files that specify
2772 multiple identifiers (previous versions would silently over-ride the
2773 value with the later configured value).
2774
d5341d9b
SK
2775- Several option codes that have been allocated since our last release
2776 have been named and documented.
2777
2778- Option names of the form "unknown-123" have been removed from the in-
2779 memory hash tables. In order to support options of these names that
2780 may appear in dhclient.leases or similar in previous versions, the
2781 parser will now find the new option code definition, or mock up a
2782 generic option code definition. This should result in a smooth
2783 transition from one name to the other, as the new name is used to
2784 write new output.
2785
6da113fb
DH
2786 Changes since 3.0.4rc1
2787
2788- The dhcp-options.5 manpage was updated to correct indentation errors
2789 thanks to a patch from Jean Delvare.
2790
2791 Changes since 3.0.4b3
2792
2793- Some manual pages were clarified pursuant to discussion on the dhcp-server
2794 mailing list.
2795
88cd8aca
DH
2796 Changes since 3.0.4b2
2797
45d545f0 2798- Null-termination sensing for certain clients that unfortunately require
88cd8aca
DH
2799 it in DHCPINFORM processing was repaired.
2800
2801- The host-name option and a few others were moved from "X" format to "t"
2802 format to be compatible with new NULL handling functions.
2803
2804- DHCPINFORM processing is a little more careful about return addressing
2805 its responses, or if responding via a relay. The INFORM related
2806 messages also log the 'effective client ip address' rather than the
2807 client's supplied ciaddr (since some clients produce null ciaddrs).
2808
2809- The server was inappropriately sending leases to the RESET state in the
2810 event that multiple active leases were found to match a singly-identified
2811 client. This was changed to RELEASED (by accepting a different, ACTIVE
2812 binding, the client is implicitly releasing its lease). This repairs a
2813 bug wherein secondary servers in failover pairs detecting this condition
2814 move leases to RESET, and primaries refuse to accept that state
2815 transition (properly).
2816
2817- The memset-after-dmalloc() changes made in 3.0.4b1 have been backed out.
2818
2819 Changes since 3.0.4b1
2820
2821- Command line parsing in omshell was repaired - it no longer closes
2822 STDIN after reading one line.
2823
2824- The resolver library no longer closes the /etc/resolv.conf file
2825 descriptor it opened twice.
2826
2827- Changes to trailing NULL removal in 't' option-atoms has been rethought,
2828 it now includes 'd' (domain name) types, and tries hard not to rewind an
2829 option beyond the start of the text field it is un-terminating.
2830
2831 Changes since 3.0.3
2832
2833- A DDNS update handling function was misusing the DNS error codes, rather
2834 than the internal generic result enumeration. The result is a confusing
2835 syslog line, logging the wrong condition.
2836
2837- The DHCP Server was not checking pool balance in the case where it brought
2838 a non-ACTIVE lease out of storage for a client that was returning to use
2839 a lease it once had long ago, and had since expired.
2840
2841- Failover peers no longer bother to look for free leases to allocate when
2842 they already found the client's ACTIVE lease. DISCOVERs are load balanced
98bd7ca0 2843 whether freely-allocated or not, unless the server doubts the peer has
88cd8aca
DH
2844 leases to allocate.
2845
2846- Fixed a bug in dhcrelay agent addition code that suppressed trailing
45d545f0 2847 PAD options - it was suppressing only one trailing PAD option, rather
88cd8aca
DH
2848 than the entire block of them.
2849
3a16098f
DH
2850! Fixed some unlikely overlapping-region memcpy() bugs in dhcrelay agent
2851 option addition and stripping code. Added a few sanity checks. Although
2852 highly improbable, due to requiring the reception of a DHCP datagram well
2853 in excess of all known to be used physical MTU limitations, it is possible
2854 this may have been used in a stack overflow security vulnerability. Thanks
2855 to a patch from infamous42md.
2856
2857! Added some sanity checks to OMAPI connection/authentication code.
2858 Although highly improbable, due to having to deliver in excess of 2^32
2859 bytes of data via the OMAPI channel, not to mention requiring dhcpd to
2860 be able to malloc() a memory region 2^32 bytes in size, it was possible
2861 this might have resulted in a heap overflow security vulnerability.
2862 Thanks to a patch from infamous42md.
88cd8aca
DH
2863
2864- dmalloc() memset()'s the non-debug (data) portion of the allocated
2865 memory to zero. Code that memset()'s the result returned by dmalloc() to
2866 zero is redundant. These redundancies were removed.
2867
2868- Some type declaration corrections to u_int16_t were made in common/tr.c
4b97eaff 2869 (Token Ring support) thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
88cd8aca
DH
2870
2871- A failover bug that was allowing leases that EXPIRED or were RELEASED
2872 where tsfp and tstp are identical timestamps to languish in these
2873 transitional states has been repaired. As a side effect, lease
2874 databases should be kept more consistent overall, not just for these
2875 transitional states.
2876
2877- If the lease db is deleted out from under the daemon, and it moves to rewrite
2878 the db, it will go ahead with the operation and move the new db into place
2879 once it detects the old db does not exist.
2880
2881- dhclient now ignores IRDA, SIT, and IEEE1394 network interfaces, as it
2882 is either nonsensical or (in the case of IEEE1394) is not known to support
2883 these interfaces. Thanks to Marius Gedminas and Andrew Pollock of Debian.
2884
2885- Some previously undocumented reasons for dhclient-script invoking has
45d545f0 2886 been documented in the dhclient-script.8 manpage.
88cd8aca
DH
2887
2888- Failover potential expiry calculations (TSTP) have been corrected. Results
2889 should be substantially more consistent, and proper given the constraints.
2890
2891- Adjusted lease state validation checks in potential-conflict, to
2892 account for possible clock skew similarly to normal state, and several
2893 previously illegal transitions were made legal (ex: active->released).
2894
2895- An impossible sanity check was removed from omapi/buffer.c, thanks to a
2896 patch from 'infamous42md'.
2897
2898- An OMAPI host/network byte order problem in lease time values has been
2899 repaired.
2900
2901- Several minor bugs, largely relating to treating 8-byte time values as
2902 4-byte entities, have been repaired after careful review of the FreeBSD
2903 ports collection's patch set. Thanks to the nameless entities who have
2904 contributed to the FreeBSD ports.
2905
2906- When writing a trace file, the file is now created with permissions 0600,
2907 to help administrators avoid accidentally publicising sensitive config
2908 data.
2909
2910- The calculation of the maximum size of DHCP packets no longer includes
2911 Ethernet framing overhead. The result is that the 'Maximum Message
2912 Size' option advertised by clients, or the default value 576, is no
2913 longer reduced by 14 bytes, and instead directly reflects the IP level
2914 MTU (and the default, minimum allowed IP MTU of 576).
2915
2916- The special status of RELEASED/EXPIRED/RESET leases when a server
2917 is operating in partner-down was fixed. It no longer requires a
2918 lease be twice the MCLT beyond STOS to 'reallocate', and the expiry
2919 event to turn these into FREE leases without peer acknowledgement
2920 (after STOS+MCLT) has been repaired.
2921
2922- Compilation on older Solaris systems (lacking /usr/include/sys/int_types.h)
2923 has been repaired.
2924
2925- "append"ing a string onto the end of a "t" type option (such as the
2926 domain-name field) that had been improperly NULL-terminated by the
2927 DHCP server will no longer result in a truncated string containing
2928 only the option from the server, and not the expected appended value.
4b97eaff 2929 Thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
88cd8aca
DH
2930
2931- File handlers on configuration state (config files and lease dbs) should
98bd7ca0 2932 be treated consistently, regardless of whether TRACING is defined or not.
88cd8aca 2933
45d545f0 2934- The Linux build environment has had some minor improvements - better
88cd8aca
DH
2935 sensing of 64-bit pointer sizes (only used for establishing an icmp_id),
2936 and corrections to #if operators regarding LINUX_MAJOR should it ever
2937 move to 3.[01].x.
2938
2939- The server now tries harder to survive the condition where it is unable
2940 to open a new lease file to rewrite the lease state database.
2941
c75473d8
DH
2942 Changes since 3.0.3b3
2943
2944- dhclient.conf documentation for interface {} was updated to reflect recent
2945 discussion on the dhcp-hackers mailing list.
2946
2947- In response to reports that the software does not compile on GCC 4.0.0,
2948 -Werror was removed from Makefile.conf for all platforms that used it.
2949 We will address the true problem in a future release; this is a temporary
2950 workaround.
2951
2952 Changes since 3.0.3b2
2953
2954- An error in code changes introduced in 3.0.3b2 was corrected, which caused
2955 static BOOTP clients to receive random addresses.
2956
2957 Changes since 3.0.3b1
2958
2959- A bug was fixed in BOOTPREQUEST handling code wherein stale references to
2960 host records would be left behind on leases that were not allocated to the
2961 client currently booting (eg in the case where the host was denied booting).
2962
2963- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated to be more clear in regards to
2964 multiple host declarations (thanks to Vincent McIntyre). 'Interim' style
2965 dynamic updates were also retouched.
2966
98311e4b
DH
2967 Changes since 3.0.2
2968
2969- A bug was fixed where a server might load balance a DHCP REQUEST to its
45d545f0 2970 peer after already choosing not to load balance the preceding DISCOVER.
98311e4b
DH
2971 The peer cannot allocate the originating server's lease.
2972
2973- In the case where a secondary server lost its stable storage while the
2974 primary was still in communications-interrupted, and came back online,
2975 the lease databases would not be fully transferred to the secondary.
2976 This was due to the secondary errantly sending an extra UPDREQ message
2977 when the primary made its state transition to PARTNER-DOWN known.
2978
2979- The package will now compile cleanly in gcc 3.3 and 3.4. As a side effect,
2980 lease structures will be 9 bytes smaller on all platforms. Thanks to
4b97eaff 2981 Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
2982
2983- Interface discovery code in DISCOVER_UNCONFIGURED mode is now
2984 properly restricted to only detecting broadcast interfaces. Thanks
4b97eaff 2985 to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
2986
2987- decode_udp_ip_header was changed so that the IP address was copied out
2988 to a variable, rather than referenced by a pointer. This enforces 4-byte
2989 alignment of the 32-bit IP address value. Thanks to a patch from Dr.
2990 Peter Poeml.
2991
2992- An incorrect log message was corrected thanks to a patch from
2993 Dr. Peter Poeml.
2994
2995- A bug in DDNS was repaired, where if the server's first DDNS action was
2996 a DDNS removal rather than a DDNS update, the resolver library's
2997 retransmit timer and retry timer was set to the default, implying a
2998 15 second timeout interval. Which is a little excessive in a synchronous,
2999 single-threaded system. In all cases, ISC DHCP should now hold fast to
3000 a 1-second timeout, trying only once.
3001
3002- The siaddr field was being improperly set to the server-identifier when
3003 responding to DHCP messages. RFC2131 clarified the siaddr field as
3004 meaning the 'next server in the bootstrap process', eg a tftp server.
3005 The siaddr field is now left zeroed unless next-server is configured.
3006
3007- mockup_lease() could have returned in an error condition (or in the
3008 condition where no fixed-address was found matching the shared
3009 network) with stale references to a host record. This is probably not
3010 a memory leak since host records generally never die anyway.
3011
3012- A bug was repaired where failover servers would let stale client identifiers
3013 persist on leases that were reallocated to new clients not sending an id.
3014
3015- Binding scopes ("set var = value;") are now removed from leases allocated
3016 by failover peers if the lease had expired. This should help reduce the
3017 number of stale binding scopes on leases.
3018
3019- A small memory leak was closed involving client identifiers larger than
3020 7 bytes, and failover.
3021
3022- Configuring a subnet in dhcpd.conf with a subnet mask of 32 bits might
3023 cause an internal function to overflow heap. Thanks to Jason Vas Dias
4b97eaff 3024 at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3025
3026- Some inconsistencies in treating numbers that the lexer parsed as 'NUMBER'
3027 or 'NUMBER_OR_NAME' was repaired. Hexadecimal parsing is affected, and
3028 should work better.
3029
3030- In several cases, parse warnings were being issued before the lexical
3031 token had been advanced to the token whose value was causing an error...
3032 causing parse warnings to claim the problem is on the wrong token.
3033
3034- Host declarations matching on client identifier for dynamic leases will
3035 no longer match fixed-address host declarations (this is now identical
3036 to behaviour for host records matching on hardware address).
3037
3038 Changes since 3.0.2rc3
3039
3040- A previously undocumented configuration directive, 'local-address',
3041 was documented in the dhcpd.conf manpage.
3042
3043 Changes since 3.0.2rc2
3044
45d545f0 3045- Two variables introduced in 3.0.2b1 were used without being initialized
98311e4b
DH
3046 in the case where neither the FILE nor SNAME fields were available for
3047 overloading. This was repaired.
3048
3049- A heretofore believed to be impossible corner case of the option
3050 overloading implementation turned out to be possible ("Unable to sort
3051 overloaded options after 10 tries."). The implementation was reworked
3052 to consider the case of an option so large it would require more than
3053 three chunks to fit.
3054
3055- Many other instances of variables being used without being initialized
3056 were repaired.
3057
3058- An uninitialized variable in omapi_io_destroy() led to the discovery
3059 that this function may result in orphaned pointers (and hence, a memory
3060 leak).
3061
3062 Changes since 3.0.2rc1
3063
3064- allocate_lease() was rewritten to repair a bug in which the server would
3065 try to allocate an ABANDONED lease when FREE leases were available.
3066
3067 Changes since 3.0.2b1
3068
3069- Some dhcp-eval.5 manpage formatting was repaired.
3070
3071 Changes since 3.0.1
3072
3073- A bug was fixed in the server's 'option overloading' implementation,
3074 where options loaded into the 'file' and 'sname' packet fields were
3075 not aligned precisely as rfc2131 dictates.
3076
3077- The FreeBSD client script was changed to support the case where a domain
3078 name was not provided by the server.
3079
3080- A memory leak in 'omshell' per each command line parsed was
3081 repaired, thanks to a patch from Jarkko Torppa.
3082
3083- Log functions writing to stderr were adjusted to use the STDERR_FILENO
3084 system definition rather than '2'. This is a no-op for 90% of platforms.
3085
3086- One call to trace_write_packet_iov() counted the number of io vectors
3087 incorrectly, causing inconsistent tracefiles. This was fixed.
3088
3089- Some expression parse failure memory leaks were closed.
3090
3091- A host byte order problem in tracefiles was repaired.
3092
3093- Pools configured in DHCPD for failover possessing permission lists that
adb95d23 3094 previously were assumed to not include dynamic bootp clients are now
98311e4b
DH
3095 a little more pessimistic. The result is, dhcpd will nag you about just
3096 about most pools that possess a 'allow' statement with no 'deny' that
3097 would definitely match a dynamic bootp client.
3098
3099- The 'ddns-update-style' configuration warning bit now insists that
3100 the configuration be globally scoped.
3101
3102- Two memory leaks in dhclient were closed thanks to a patch from Felix
3103 Farkas.
3104
3105- Some minor but excellently pedantic documentation errors were fixed
3106 thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
3107
3108- Bugs in operator precedence in executable statements have been repaired
3109 once again. More legal syntaxes should be parsed legally.
3110
3111- Failing to initialize a tracefile for any reason if a tracefile was
3112 specified is now a fatal error. Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
3113
3114- Corrected a bug in which the number of leases transferred as calculated
3115 by the failover primary and sent to peers in POOLRESP responses may be
3116 incorrect. This value is not believed to be used by other failover
3117 implementations, excepting perhaps as logged information.
3118
3119- Corrected a bug in which 'dhcp_failover_send_poolresp()' was in fact
3120 sending POOLREQ messages instead of POOLRESP mesasges. This message
3121 was essentially ignored since failover secondaries effectively do not
3122 respond to POOLREQ messages.
3123
3124- Type definitions for various bitwidths of integers in the sunos5-5
3125 build of ISC DHCP have been fixed. It should compile and run more
3126 easily when built in 64-bit for this platform.
3127
3128- "allow known-clients;" is now a legal syntax, to avoid confusion.
3129
3130- If one dhcp server chooses to 'load balance' a request to its failover
3131 peer, it first checks to see if it believes said peer has a free
3132 lease to allocate before ignoring the DISCOVER.
3133
3134- log() was logging a work buffer, rather than the value returned by
3135 executing the statements configured by the user. In some cases,
3136 the work buffer and the intended results were the same. In some other
3137 cases, they were not. This was fixed thanks to a patch from Gunnar
3138 Fjone and directconnect.no.
3139
3140- Compiler warnings for some string type conversions was fixed, thanks
3141 to Andreas Gustafsson.
3142
3143- The netbsd build environments were simplified to one, in which
3144 -Wconversion is not used, thanks to Andreas Gustafsson.
3145
3146- How randomness in the backoff-cutoff dhclient configuration variable
3147 is implemented was better documented in the manpage, and the behaviour
3148 of dhclient in REQUEST timeout handling was changed to match that of
3149 DISCOVER timeout handling.
3150
3151- Omapi was hardened against clients that pass in null values, thanks
3152 to a patch from Mark Jason Dominus.
3153
3154- A bug was fixed in dhclient that kept it from doing client-side
3155 ddns updates. Thanks to a patch from Andreas Gustafsson, which
3156 underwent some modification after review by Jason Vas Dias.
3157
3158- Failover implementations disconnected due to the network between
3159 them (rather than one of the two shutting down) will now try to
3160 re-establish the failover connection every 5 seconds, rather than
3161 to simply try once and give up until one of them is restarted.
3162 Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from Infoblox, and field testing
3163 by Greger V. Teigre which led to an enhancement to it.
3164
3165- A problem that kept DHCP Failover secondaries from tearing down
3166 ddns records was repaired. Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from
3167 Infoblox.
3168
3169- 64bit pointer sizes are detected properly on FreeBSD now.
3170
3171- A bug was repaired where the DHCP server would leave stale references
3172 to host records on leases it once thought about offering to certain
3173 clients. The result would be to apply host and 'known' scopes to the
3174 wrong clients (possibly denying booting). NOTE: The 'mis-host' patch
3175 that was being circulated as a workaround is not the way this bug was
3176 fixed. If you were a victim of this bug in 3.0.1, you are cautioned
3177 to proceed carefully and see if it fixes your problem.
3178
3179- A bug was repaired in the server's DHCPINFORM handling, where it
3180 tried to divine the client's address from the source packet and
3181 would get it wrong. Thanks to Anshuman Singh Rawat.
3182
3183- A log message was introduced to help illuminate the case where the
3184 server was unable to find a lease to assign to any BOOTP client.
3185 Thanks to Daniel Baker.
3186
3187- A minor dhcpd.conf.5 manpage error was fixed.
3188
3189 Changes since 3.0.1rc14
3190
3191- The global variable 'cur_time' was centralized and is now uniformly of a
3192 type #defined in system-dependent headers. It had previously been defined
3193 in one of many places as a 32-bit value, and this causes mayhem on 64-bit
3194 big endian systems. It probably wasn't too healthy on little endian
3195 systems either.
3196
3197- A printf format string error introduced in rc14 was repaired.
3198
3199- AIX system-dependent header file was altered to only define NO_SNPRINTF
3200 if the condition used to #ifdef in vsnprintf in AIX' header files
3201 is false.
3202
3203- The Alpha/OSF system-dependent header file was altered to define
3204 NO_SNPRINTF on OS revisions older than 4.0G.
3205
3206- omapip/test.c had string.h added to its includes.
3207
3208 Changes since 3.0.1rc13
3209
3210! CAN-2004-0460 - CERT VU#317350: Five stack overflow exploits were closed
3211 in logging messages with excessively long hostnames provided by the
3212 clients. It is highly probable that these could have been used by
3213 attackers to gain arbitrary root access on systems using ISC DHCP 3.0.1
3214 release candidates 12 or 13. Special thanks to Gregory Duchemin for
3215 both finding and solving the problem.
3216
3217! CAN-2004-0461 - CERT VU#654390: Once the above was closed, an opening
45d545f0 3218 in log_*() functions was evidenced, on some specific platforms where
98311e4b
DH
3219 vsnprintf() was not believed to be available and calls were wrapped to
3220 sprintf() instead. Again, credit goes to Gregory Duchemin for finding
3221 the problem. Calls to snprintf() are now linked to a distribution-local
3222 snprintf implementation, only in those cases where the architecture is
3223 not known to provide one (see includes/cf/[arch].h). If you experience
3224 linking problems with snprintf/vsnprintf or 'isc_print_' functions, this
3225 is where to look. This vulnerability did not exist in any previously
3226 published version of ISC DHCP.
3227
3228- Compilation on hpux 11.11 was repaired.
3229
3230- 'The cross-compile bug fix' was backed out.
3231
3232 Changes since 3.0.1rc12
3233
3234- Fixed a bug in omapi lease lookup function, to form the hardware
3235 address for the hash lookup correctly, thanks to a patch from
3236 Richard Hirst.
3237
3238- Fixed a bug where dhcrelay was sending relayed responses back to the
3239 broadcast address, but with the source's unicast mac address. Should
3240 now conform to rfc2131 section 4.1.
3241
3242- Cross-compile bug fix; use $(AR) instead of ar. Thanks to Morten Brorup.
3243
3244- Fixed a crash bug in dhclient where dhcpd servers that do not provide
3245 renewal times results in an FPE. As a side effect, dhclient can now
3246 properly handle 0xFFFFFFFF (-1) expiry times supplied by servers. Thanks
3247 to a patch from Burt Silverman.
3248
3249- The 'ping timeout' debugs from rc12 were removed to -DDEBUG only,
45d545f0 3250 and reformatted to correct a compilation error on Solaris platforms.
98311e4b
DH
3251
3252- A patch was applied which fixes a case where leases read from the
3253 leases database do not properly over-ride previously read leases.
3254
3255- dhcpctl.3 manpage was tweaked.
3256
3257 Changes since 3.0.1rc11
3258
3259- A patch from Steve Campbell was applied with minor modifications to
3260 permit reverse dns PTR record updates with values containing spaces.
3261
3262- A patch from Florian Lohoff was applied with some modifications to
3263 dhcrelay. It now discards packets whose hop count exceeds 10 by default,
3264 and a command-line option (-c) can be used to set this threshold.
3265
3266- A failover bug relating to identifying peers by name length instead of
3267 by name was fixed.
3268
45d545f0 3269- Declaring failover configs within shared-network statements should no
98311e4b
DH
3270 longer result in error.
3271
3272- The -nw command line option to dhclient now works.
3273
3274- Thanks to a patch from Michael Richardson:
3275 - Some problems with long option processing have been fixed.
3276 - Some fixes to minires so that updates of KEY records will work.
3277
3278- contrib/ms2isc was updated by Shu-Min Chang of the Intel Corporation.
3279 see contrib/ms2isc/readme.txt for revision notes.
3280
3281- Dhclient no longer uses shell commands to kill another instance of
3282 itself, it sends the signal directly. Thanks to a patch from Martin
3283 Blapp.
3284
3285- The FreeBSD dhclient-script was changed so that a failure to write to
3286 /etc/resolv.conf does not prematurely end the script. This keeps dhclient
3287 from looping infinitely when this is the case. Thanks to a patch from
3288 Martin Blapp.
3289
3290- A patch from Bill Stephens was applied which resolves a problem with lease
3291 expiry times in failover configurations.
3292
3293- A memory leak in configuration parsing was closed thanks to a patch from
3294 Steve G.
3295
3296- The function which discovers interfaces will now skip non-broadcast or
3297 point-to-point interfaces, thanks to a patch from David Brownlee.
3298
3299- Options not yet known by the dhcpd or dhclient have had their names
3300 changed such that they do not contain # symbols, in case they should ever
3301 appear in a lease file. An option that might have been named "#144" is
3302 now "unknown-144".
3303
3304- Another patch from Bill Stephens which allows the ping-check timeout to
3305 be configured as 'ping-timeout'. Defaults to 1.
3306
3307 Changes since 3.0.1rc10
3308
3309- Potential buffer overflows in minires repaired.
3310
3311- A change to the linux client script to use /bin/bash, since /bin/sh may
3312 not be bash.
3313
3314- Some missing va_end cleanups thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
3315
3316- A correction of boolean parsing syntax validation - some illegal syntaxes
3317 that worked before are now detected and produce errs, some legal syntaxes
3318 that errored before will now work properly.
3319
3320- Some search-and-replace errors that caused some options to change their
3321 names was repaired.
3322
3323- Shu-min Chang of the Intel corporation has contributed a perl script and
3324 module that converts the MS NT4 DHCP configuration to a ISC DHCP3
3325 configuration file.
3326
3327- Applied the remainder of the dhcpctl memory leak patch provided by Bill
3328 Squier at ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
3329
3330- Missing non-optional failover peer configurations will now result in a soft
3331 error rather than a null dereference.
3332
3333 Changes since 3.0.1rc9
3334
3335- A format string was corrected to fix compiler warnings.
3336
3337- A number of spelling corrections were made in the man pages.
3338
3339- The dhclient.conf.5 man page was changed to refer to do-forward-updates
3340 rather than a configuration option that doesn't exist.
3341
3342- A FreeBSD-specific bug in the interface removal handling was fixed.
3343
3344- A Linux-specific Token Ring detection problem was fixed.
3345
3346- Hashes removed from as-yet-unknown agent options, having those options
3347 appear in reality before we know about them will no longer produce
3348 self-corrupting lease databases.
3349
3350- dhclient will use the proper port numbers now when using the -g option.
3351
3352- A order-of-operations bug with 2 match clauses in 1 class statement is
3353 fixed thanks to a patch from Andrew Matheson.
3354
3355- Compilation problems on Solaris were fixed.
3356
3357- Compilation problems when built with DEBUG or DEBUG_PACKET were repaired.
3358
3359- A fix to the dhcp ack process which makes certain group options will be
3360 included in the first DHCPOFFER message was made thanks to a patch from
3361 Ling Gou.
3362
3363- A few memory leaks were repaired thanks to patches from Bill Squier at
3364 ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
3365
3366- A fix for shared-networks that sometimes give clients options for the
3367 wrong subnets (in particular, 'option routers') was applied, thanks to
3368 Ted Lemon for the patch.
3369
3370- Omshell's handling of dotted octets as values was changed such that dots
3371 one after the other produce zero values in the integer string.
3372
3373 Changes since 3.0.1rc8
3374
3375- Fix a format string vulnerability in the server that could lead to a
3376 remote root compromise (discovered by NGSEC Research Team, www.ngsec.com).
3377
3378- Add additional support for NetBSD/sparc64.
3379
3380- Fix a bug in the command-line parsing of the client. Also, resolve
3381 a memory leak.
3382
3383- Add better support for shells other than bash in the Linux client
3384 script.
3385
3386- Various build fixes for modern versions of FreeBSD and Linux.
3387
3388- Fix a bad bounds check when printing binding state names.
3389
3390- Clarify documentation about fixed-address and multiple addresses.
3391
3392- Fix a typo in the authoritative error message.
3393
3394- Make a log entry when we can't write a billing class.
3395
3396- Use conversion targets that are the right size on all architectures.
3397
3398- Increment the hop count when relaying.
3399
3400- Log a message when lease state is changed through OMAPI.
3401
3402- Don't rerun the shared_network when evaluating the pool.
3403
3404- Fix a reversed test in the parser.
3405
3406- Change the type of rbuf_max.
3407
3408- Make FTS_LAST a manifest constant to quiet warnings.
3409
3410 Changes since 3.0.1rc7
3411
3412- Fix two compiler warnings that are generated when compiling on Solaris
3413 with gcc. These stop the build, even though they weren't actually
3414 errors, because we prefer that our builds generate no warnings.
3415
3416 Changes since 3.0.1rc6
3417
3418- Don't allow a lease that's in the EXPIRED, RELEASED or RESET state
3419 to be renewed.
3420
3421- Implement lease stealing for cases where the primary has fewer leases
3422 than the secondary, as called for by the standard.
3423
3424- Add a fudge factor to the lease expiry acceptance code, (suggested
3425 by Kevin Miller of CMU).
3426
3427- Fix a bug in permit_list_match that made it much too willing to say
3428 that two permit lists matched.
3429
3430- Unless DEBUG_DNS_UPDATES is defined, print more user-friendly (and
3431 also more compact) messages about DNS updates.
3432
3433- Fix a bug in generating wire-format domain names for the FQDN option.
3434
3435- Fix a bug where the FQDN option would not be returned if the client
3436 requested it, contrary to the standard.
3437
3438- On Darwin, use the FreeBSD DHCP client script.
3439
3440- On NetBSD/sparc, don't check for casting warnings.
3441
3442- Add a flag in the DHCP client to disable updating the client's A
3443 record when sending an FQDN option indicating that the client is
3444 going to update its A record.
3445
3446- In the client, don't attempt a DNS update until one second after
3447 configuring the new IP address, and if the update times out, keep
3448 trying until a response, positive or negative, is received from the
3449 DNS server.
3450
3451- Fix an uninitialized memory bug in the DHCP client.
3452
3453- Apply some FreeBSD-specific bug fixes suggested by Murray Stokely.
3454
3455- Fix a bug in ns_parserr(), where it was returning the wrong sort
3456 of result code in some cases (suggested by Ben Harris of the
3457 NetBSD project).
3458
3459- Fix a bug in is_identifier(), where it was checking against EOF
3460 instead of the END_OF_FILE token (also suggested by Ben Harris).
3461
3462- Fix a bug where if an option universe contained no options, the
3463 DHCP server could dump core (Walter Steiner).
3464
3465- Fix a bug in the handling of encapsulated options.
3466
3467- Fix a bug that prevented NWIP suboptions from being processed.
3468
3469- Delete the FTS_BOOTP and FTS_RESERVED states and implement them
3470 as modifier flags to the FTS_ACTIVE state, as called for in the
3471 failover protocol standard.
3472
3473- Fix bugs in the pool merging code that resulted in references and
3474 dereferences of null pointers. This bug had no impact unless the
3475 POINTER_DEBUG flag was defined.
3476
3477- In the server, added a do-forward-updates flag that can be used to
3478 disable forward updates in all cases, so that sites that want the
3479 clients to take sole responsibility for updating their A record can
3480 do so.
3481
3482- Make it possible to disable optimization of PTR record updates.
3483
3484 Changes since 3.0.1rc5
3485
3486- Include some new documentation and changes provided by Karl Auer.
3487
3488- Add a workaround for some Lexmark printers that send a double-NUL-
3489 terminated host-name option, which would break DNS updates.
3490
3491- Fix an off-by-one error in the MAC-address checking code for
3492 DHCPRELEASE that was added in 3.0.1rc5.
3493
3494- Fix a bug where client-specific information was not being discarded
3495 from the lease when it expired or was released, resulting in
3496 problems if the lease was reallocated to a different client.
3497
3498- If more than one allocation pool is specified that has the same set
3499 of constraints as another allocation pool on the same shared
3500 network, merge the two pools.
3501
3502- Don't print an error in fallback_discard, since this just causes
3503 confusion and does not appear to be helping to encourage anyone to
3504 fix this bug.
3505
3506 Changes since 3.0.1rc4
3507
3508- Fix a bug that would cause the DHCP server to spin if asked to parse
3509 a certain kind of incorrect statement.
3510
3511- Fix a related bug that would prevent an error from being reported in
3512 the same case.
3513
3514- Additional documentation.
3515
3516- Make sure that the hardware address matches the lease when
3517 processing a DHCPRELEASE message.
3518
3519 Changes since 3.0.1rc3
3520
3521- A minor bug fix in the arguments to a logging function call.
3522- Documentation update for dhcpd.conf.
3523
adbef119 3524 Changes since 3.0.1rc2
98311e4b
DH
3525
3526- Allow the primary to send a POOLREQ message. This isn't what the current
3527 failover draft says to do, so we may have to back it out if I can't get the
3528 authors to relent, but the scheme for balancing that's specified in the
3529 current draft seems needlessly hairy, so I'm floating a trial balloon.
3530 The rc1 code did not implement the method described in the draft either.
3531
adbef119 3532 Changes since 3.0.1rc1
98311e4b
DH
3533
3534- Treat NXDOMAIN and NXRRSET as success when we are trying to delete a
3535 domain or RRSET. This allows the DHCP server to forget about a name
3536 it added to the DNS once it's been removed, even if the DHCP server
3537 wasn't the one that removed it.
3538
3539- Install defaults for failover maximum outstanding updates and maximum
3540 silent time. This prevents problems that might occur if these values
3541 were not configured.
3542
3543- Don't do DDNS deletes if ddns-update-style is none.
3544
3545- Return relay agent information options in DHCPNAK. This prevents DHCPNAK
3546 messages from being dropped when the relay agent information option contains
3547 routing information.
3548
3549- Fix a problem where coming up in recover wouldn't result in an update
3550 request being sent.
3551
3552- Add some more chatty messages when we start a recovery update and when it's
3553 done.
3554
3555- Fix a possible problem where some state might have been left around
3556 after the peer lost contact and regained contact about how many updates
3557 were pending.
3558
3559- Don't nix a lease update because of a lease conflict. This test has
3560 never (as far as I know) prevented a mistake, and it appears to cause
3561 problems with failover.
3562
3563- Add support in rc history code for keeping a selective history, rather
3564 than a history of all references and dereferences. This code is only used
3565 when extensive additional debugging is enabled.
3566
adbef119 3567 Changes since 3.0
98311e4b
DH
3568
3569- Make allocators for hash tables. As a side effect, this fixes a memory
3570 smash in the subclass allocation code.
3571
3572- Fix a small bug in omshell where if you try to close an object when
3573 no object is open, it dumps core.
3574
3575- Fix an obscure coredump that could occur on shutdown.
3576
3577- Fix a bug in the recording of host declaration rubouts in the lease file.
3578
3579- Fix two potential spins in the host deletion code.
3580
3581- Fix a core dump that would happen if an application tried to update
3582 a host object attribute with a null value.
3583
3584 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 12
3585
3586- Fix a memory leak in the evaluation code.
3587
3588- Fix an obscure core dump.
3589
3590- Print a couple of new warnings when parsing the configuration file
3591 when crucial information is left out.
3592
3593- Log "no free leases" as an error.
3594
3595- Documentation updates.
3596
3597 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 11
3598
3599- Always return a subnet selection option if one is sent.
3600
3601- Fix a warning that was being printed because an automatic data
3602 structure wasn't zeroed.
3603
3604- Fix some failover state transitions that were being handled
3605 incorrectly.
3606
3607- When supersede_lease is called on a lease whose end time has already
3608 expired, but for which a state transition has not yet been done, do
3609 a state transition. This fixes the case where if the secondary
3610 allocated a lease to a client and the lease "expired" while the
3611 secondary was in partner-down, no expiry event would actually
3612 happen, so the lease would remain active until the primary was
3613 restarted.
3614
3615 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 10
3616
3617- Fix a bug that was preventing released leases from changing state
3618 in failover-enabled pools.
3619
3620- Fix a core dump in the client identifier finder code (for host
3621 declarations).
3622
3623- Finish fixing a bug where bogus data would sometimes get logged to
3624 the dhclient.leases file because it was opened as descriptor 2.
3625
3626- Fix the Linux dhclient-script according to suggestions made by
3627 several people on the dhcp-client mailing list.
3628
3629- Log successful DNS updates at LOG_INFO, not LOG_ERROR.
3630
3631- Print an error message and refuse to run if a failover peer is
3632 defined but not referenced by any pools.
3633
3634- Correct a confusing error message in failover.
3635

d758ad8c
TL
3648 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8 Patchlevel 1
3649
3650- Fix a parsing bug that broke dns updates (both interim and ad-hoc).
3651 This was introduced in rc8pl1 as an unintended result of the memory
3652 leakage fixes that were in pl1.
3653
3654- Fix a long-standing bug where the server would record that an update
3655 had been done for a client with no name, even though no update had
3656 been done, and then when the client's lease expired the deletion of
3657 that nonexistant record would time out because the name was the null
9a111ee8 3658 string.
d758ad8c
TL
3659
3660- Clean up the omshell, dhcpctl and omapi man pages a bit.

TL
3662 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8
3663
3664- Fix a bug that could cause the DHCP server to spin if
3665 one-lease-per-client was enabled.
3666
3667- Fix a bug that was causing core dumps on BSD/os in the presence of
3668 malformed packets.
3669
3670- In partner-down state, don't restrict lease lengths to MCLT.
3671
3672- On the failover secondary, record the MCLT received from the primary
3673 so that if we come up without a connection to the primary we don't
3674 wind up giving out zero-length leases.
3675
3676- Fix some compilation problems on BSD/os.
3677
3678- Fix a bunch of memory leaks.
3679
3680- Fix a couple of bugs in the option printer.
3681
3682- Fix an obscure error reporting bug in the dns update code, and also
3683 make the message clearer when a key algorithm isn't supported.
3684
3685- Fix a bug in the tracing code that prevented trace runs that used
3686 tcp connections from being played back.
3687
3688- Add some additional debugging capability for catching memory leaks
3689 on exit.
3690
3691- Make the client release the lease correctly on shutdown.
3692
3693- Add some configurability to the build system.
3694
3695- Install omshell manual page in man1, not man8.
3696
3697- Craig Gwydir sent in a patch that fixes a long-standing bug in the
3698 DHCP client that could cause core dumps, but that for some reason
3699 hadn't been noticed until now.
3700
3701 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 7
3702
3703- Fix a bug in failover where we weren't sending updates after a
3704 transition from communications-interrupted to normal.
3705
3706- Handle expired/released/reset -> free transition according to the
3707 protocol specification (this works - the other way not only wasn't
3708 conformant, but also didn't work).
3709
3710- Add a control object in both client and server that allows either
3711 daemon to be shut down cleanly.
3712
3713- When writing a lease, if we run out of disk space, shut down the
3714 output file and insist on writing a new one before proceeding.
3715
3716- In the server, if the OMAPI listener port is occupied, keep trying
3717 to get it, rather than simply giving up and exiting.
3718
3719- Support fetching variables from leases and also updating and adding
3720 variables to leases via OMAPI.
3721
3722- If two failover peers have wildly different clocks, refuse to start
3723 doing failover.
3724
3725- Fix a bug in the DNS update code that could cause core dumps when
3726 running on alpha processors.
3727
3728- Fixed a bug in ddns updates for static lease entries, thanks to a
3729 patch from Andrey M Linkevitch.
3730
3731- Add support for Darwin/MacOS X
3732
3733- Install omshell (including new documentation).
3734
3735- Support DNS updates in the client (this is a very obscure feature
3736 that most DHCP client users probably will not be able to use).
3737
3738- Somewhat cleaner status logging in the client.
3739
3740- Make OMAPI key naming syntax compatible with the way keys are
3741 actually named (key names are domain names).
3742
3743- Fix a bug in the lease file writer.
3744
3745- Install DHCP ISC headers in a different place than BIND 9 ISC
3746 headers, to avoid causing trouble in BIND 9 builds.
3747
3748- Don't send updates for attributes on an object when the attributes
3749 haven't changed. Support deleting attributes on remote objects.
3750
3751- Fix a number of bugs in omshell, and add the unset and refresh
3752 statements.
3753
3754- Handle disconnects in OMAPI a little bit more intelligently (so that
3755 the caller gets ECONNRESET instead of EINVAL).
3756
3757- Fix a bunch of bugs in the handling of clients that have existing
3758 leases when the try to renew their leases while failover is
3759 operating.
3760
eaf0b302
TL
3761 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 6
3762
3763- Fix a core dump that could happen when processing a DHCPREQUEST from
3764 a client that had a host declaration that contained both a
3765 fixed-address declaration and a dhcp-client-identifier option
3766 declaration, if the client identifier was longer than nine bytes.
3767
3768- Fix a memory leak that could happen in certain obscure cases when
3769 using omapi to manipulate leases.
3770
3771- Fix some bugs and omissions in omshell.
3772
eaf0b302
TL
3773 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 5
3774
3775- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that prevented objects in
3776 chains from having their reference counts decreased on dereference.
3777
3778- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that would prevent object
3779 chains from being freed upon removal of the last reference external
3780 to the chain.
3781
3782- Fix a number of other memory leaks in the OMAPI protocol subsystem.
3783
3784- Add code in the OMAPI protocol handler to trace memory leakage.
3785
3786- Clean up the memory allocation/reference history printer.
3787
98311e4b 3788- Support input of dotted quads and colon-separated hex lists as
eaf0b302

3796
3797- Fix a bug that would prevent leases from being abandoned properly on
3798 DHCPDECLINE.
3799
3800- Fix failover peer OMAPI support.
3801
3802- In failover, correctly handle expiration of leases. Previously,
3803 leases would never be reclaimed because they couldn't make the
3804 transition from EXPIRED to FREE.
3805
3806- Fix some broken failover state transitions.
3807
3808- Documentation fixes.
3809
3810- Take out an unnecessary check in DHCP relay agent information option
3811 stashing code that was preventing REBINDING clients from rebinding.
3812
3813- Prevent failover peers from allocating leases in DHCPREQUEST

3821 case-insensitive.

3827 consistently.
3828
3829- Different SIOCGIFCONF probe code, may "fix" problem on some Linux
3830 systems with the probe not working correctly.

3837 the billing correctly - the previous method could overbill as a
3838 result of duplicate leases.

3845 Herranz for figuring out the main problem.

3848 core dumps.

3851 Friedrich.

3854
3855 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 2
3856
3857- Change the conditions under which a DHCPRELEASE is actually
3858 committed to be consistent with lease binding states rather than
98311e4b 3859 using the lease end time. This may fix some problems with the
892fe689
TL
3860 billing class code.
3861
3862- Fix a bug where lease updates would fail on Digital Unix (and maybe
3863 others) because malloc was called with a size of zero.
3864
3865- Fix a core dump that happens when the DHCP server can't create its
3866 trace file.

TL
3870- Fix the dhcp_failover_put_message to not attempt to allocate a
3871 zero-length buffer. Some versions of malloc() fail if you try to
3872 allocate a zero-length buffer, and this was causing problems on,
3873 e.g., Digital Unix.
3874
3875- Fix a case where the failover code was printing an error message
3876 when no error had occurred.
3877
3878- Fix a problem where when a server went down and back up again, the
3879 peer would not see a state transition and so would stay in the
3880 non-communicating state.
3881
3882- Be smart about going into recover_wait.
3883
3884- Fix a problem in the failover implementation where peers would fail
3885 to come into sync if interrupted in the RECOVER state. This could
3886 have been the cause of some problems people have reported recently.
3887
3888- Fix a problem with billing classes where they would not be unbilled
3889 when the client lease expired.
3890
3891- If select fails, figure out which descriptor is bad, and cut it out
3892 of the I/O loop. This prevents a potentially nasty spin. I
3893 haven't heard any report it in a while, but it came up consistently
3894 in testing.
3895
3896- Fix a bug in the relay agent where if you specified interfaces on
3897 the command line, it would fail.
3898
3899- Fix a couple of small bugs in the omapi connection object (no known
3900 user impact).
3901
3902- Add the missing 3.0 Beta 1 lease conversion script.
3903

3905 they're executable.

3917- There is a known problem with the DHCP server doing failover on
3918 Compaq Alpha systems. This patchlevel is not a release candidate
3919 because of this bug. The bug should be straightforward to fix, so
3920 a new release candidate is expected shortly.

3947 checked. This may have been causing core dumps.
3948
3949- When parsing the lease file, if a lease declaration includes a
3950 billing class statement, and the lease already has a billing class,
3951 unbill the old class.
3952
3953- When processing failover transactions, where acks will be deferred,
3954 process the state transition immediately.
3955
3956- Don't try to use the new SIOCGIFCONF buffer size detection code on
3957 Linux 2.0, which doesn't provide this functionality.
3958
3959- Apply a patch suggested by Tuan Uong for a problem in dlpi.c.
3960
3961- Fix a problem in using the which command in the configure script.
3962
3963- Fix a parse error in the client when setting up an omapi listener.
3964
3965- Document the -n and -g flags to the client.
3966
3967- Make sure there is always a stdin and stdout on startup. This
3968 prevents shell scripts from accidentally writing error messages into
3969 configuration files that happen to be opened as stderr.
3970
3971- If an interface is removed, the client will now notice that it is
3972 gone rather than spinning. This has only been tested on NetBSD.
3973
3974- The client will attempt to get an address even if it can't create a
3975 lease file.
3976
3977- Don't overwrite tracefiles.

4022- Implement omshell, which can be used to do arbitrary things to the
4023 server (in theory). (Damien Neil)
4024
4025- Fix a case where if a client had two different leases the server could
4026 actually dereference the second one when it hadn't been referenced,
4027 leading to memory corruption and a core dump. (James Brister)
4028
4029- Fix a case where a client could request the address of another client's
4030 lease, but find_lease wouldn't detect that the other client had it, and
4031 would attempt to allocate it to the client, resulting in a lease conflict
4032 message.
4033
4034- Fix a case where a client with more than one client identifier could be
4035 given a lease where the hardware address was correct but the client
4036 identifier was not, resulting in a lease conflict message.
4037
98311e4b 4038- Fix a problem where the server could write out a colon-separated
3350f5b7
TL
4039 hex list as a value for a variable, which would then not parse.
4040 The fix is to always write strings as quoted strings, with any
4041 non-printable characters quoted as octal escape sequences. So
4042 a file written the old way still won't work, but new files written
4043 this way will work.
4044

TL
4045- Fix documentation for sending non-standard options.
4046
4047- Use unparsable names for unknown options. WARNING: this will
4048 break any configuration files that use the option-nnn convention.
4049 If you want to continue to use this convention for some options,
4050 please be sure to write a definition, like this:
4051
4052 option option-nnn code nnn = string;
4053
4054 You can use a descriptive name instead of option-nnn if you like.
4055
4056- Fix a problem where we would see a DHCPDISCOVER/DHCPOFFER/
4057 DHCPREQUEST/DHCPACK/DHCPREQUEST/DHCPNAK sequence. This was the
4058 result of a deceptively silly bug in supersede_lease.
4059

4061 Hermann Lauer.

TL
4073- Add support for transaction tracing. This allows the state of the
4074 DHCP server on startup, and all the subsequent transactions, to be
4075 recorded in a file which can then be played back to reproduce the
4076 behaviour of the DHCP server. This can be used to quickly
4077 reproduce bugs that cause core dumps or corruption, and also for
4078 tracking down memory leaks.
4079
4080- Incorporate some bug fixes provided by Joost Mulders for the DLPI
4081 package which should clear up problems people have been seeing on
4082 Solaris.
4083
4084- Fix bugs in the handling of options stored as linked lists (agent
4085 options, fqdn options and nwip options) that could cause memory
4086 corruption and core dumps.
4087
4088- Fix a bug in DHCPREQUEST handling that resulted in DHCPNAK messages
4089 not being send in some cases when they were needed.

4133
4134- Finish fixing a long-standing bug in the agent options code. This
4135 was causing core dumps and failing to operate correctly - in
4136 particular, agent option stashing wasn't working. Agent option
4137 stashing should now be working, meaning that agent options can be
4138 used in class statements to control address allocation.
4139

4146
4147- Fix a compile error on some older operating systems.

4149- Add the ability in the client to execute certain statements before
4150 transmitting packets to the server. Handy for debugging; not much
4151 practical use otherwise.

4162- Work around the Win98 DHCP client, which NUL-terminates the FQDN
4163 option.

4165- Work around Win98 and Win2k clients that will claim they want to do
4166 the update even when they don't have any way to do it.
4167
4168- Fix some log messages that can be printed when failover is operating
4169 that were not printing enough information.
4170
4171- It was possible for a DHCPDISCOVER to get an allocation even when
4172 the state machine said the server shouldn't be responding.
4173
4174- Don't load balance DHCPREQUESTs from clients in RENEWING and
4175 REBINDING, since in RENEWING, if we heard it, it's for us, and in
4176 REBINDING, the client wouldn't have got to REBINDING if its primary
4177 were answering.

4190 decoder that would prevent any key with an 'x' in its base64
4191 representation from working correctly.
4192
4193- Thanks to Chris Cheney and Michael Sanders, we have a fix for the
4194 hang that they both spotted in the DHCP server - when
4195 one-lease-per-client was set, the code to release the "other" lease
4196 could spin.
4197
4198- Fix a problem with alignment of the input buffer in bpf in cases
4199 where two packets arrive in the same bpf read.
4200
4201- Fix a problem where the relay agent would crash if you specified an
4202 interface name on the command line.
4203
4204- Add the ability to conditionalize client behaviour based on the
4205 client state.
4206
4207- Add support for the FQDN option, and added support for a new way of
4208 doing ddns updates (ddns update style interim) that allows more than
4209 one DHCP server to update the DNS for the same network(s). This
4210 was implemented by Damien Neil with some additional functionality
4211 added by Ted Lemon.
4212
4213- Damien added a "log" statement, so that the configuration file can
4214 be made to log debugging information and other information.
4215
4216- Fixed a bug that caused option buffers not to be terminated with an
4217 end option.
4218
4219- Fixed a long-standing bug in the support for option spaces where the
4220 options are stored as an ordered list rather than in a hash table,
4221 which could theoretically result in memory pool corruption.
4222
4223- Prevent hardware declarations with no actual hardware address from
4224 being written as something unparsable, and behave correctly in the
4225 face of a null hardware address on input.
4226
4227- Allow key names to be FQDNs, and qualify the algorithm name if it is
4228 specified unqualified.
4229
4230- Modify the DDNS update code so that it never prints the "resolver
4231 failed" message, but instead says *why* the resolver failed.

4234 RFC.

4296- Fix a possible DoS attack where a client could cause the checksummer
4297 to dump core. This was a read, not a write, so it shouldn't be
4298 possible to exploit it any further than that.
4299
4300- Implement client- and server-side support for using the Client FQDN
4301 option.
4302
4303- Support for other option spaces in the client has been added. This
4304 means that it is now possible to define a vendor option space on the
4305 client, request options in that space from the server (which must
4306 define the same option space), and then use those options in the
4307 client. This also allows NWIP and Client FQDN options to be used
4308 meaningfully.
4309
4310- Add object initializer support. This means that objects can now be
4311 initialized to something other than all-zeros when allocated, which
4312 makes, e.g., the interface object support code a little more robust.
4313
4314- Fix an off-by-one bug in the host stuffer. This was causing host

4339- Fix a potential memory smash in dhcpctl code.
4340
4341- Fix SunOS4 and (maybe) Ultrix builds.
4342
4343- Fix a bug where a certain sort of incoming packet could cause a core
4344 dump on Solaris (and probably elsewhere).

4352
4353- Fix class matching so that match if can be combined with match or
4354 spawn with.
4355
4356- Do not allow spurious leases in the lease database to introduce

4365 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 4
4366
4367- Incorporated Peter Marschall's proposed change to array/record
4368 parsing, which allows things like the slp-agent option to be encoded
4369 correctly. Thanks very much to Peter for taking the initiative to
4370 do this, and for doing such a careful job of it (e.g., updating the
4371 comments)!
4372
4373- Added an encoding for the slp-agent option. :')

4375- Fixed SunOS 4 build. Thanks to Robert Elz for responding to my
4376 request for help on this with patches!
4377
4378- Incorporated a change that should fix a problem reported by Philippe
4379 Jumelle where when the network connection between two servers is
4380 lost, they never reconnect.
4381
4382- Fix client script files other than that for NetBSD to actually use
4383 make_resolv_conf as documented in the manual page.
4384
4385- Fix a bug in the packet handling code that could result in a core
4386 dump.
4387
4388- Fix a bug in the bootp code where responses on the local net would
4389 be sent to the wrong MAC address. Thanks to Jerry Schave for
4390 catching this one.

4392 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 3
4393
4394- In the DHCP client, execute client statements prior to using the values
45d545f0 4395 of options, so that the client configuration can overridden, e.g., the
490eb5e7
TL
4396 lease renewal time.
4397
4398- Fix a reference counting error that would result in very reproducible
4399 failures in updates, as well as occasional core dumps, if a zone was
4400 declared without a key.
4401
4402- Fix some Linux 2.0 compilation problems.
4403
4404- Fix a bug in scope evaluation during execution of "on" statements that
4405 caused values not to be recorded on leases.
4406
4407- If the dhcp-max-message-size option is specified in scope, and the
4408 client didn't send this option, use the one specified in scope to
4409 determine the maximum size of the response.

4417 RENEWING client.
4418
4419- Fix a place dhcprequest() where static leases could leak.
4420
4421- Include memory.h in omapip_p.h so that we don't get warnings about
4422 using memcmp().

4424 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 1
4425
4426- Notice when SIOCFIGCONF returns more data than fit in the buffer -
4427 allocate a larger buffer, and retry. Thanks to Greg Fausak for
4428 pointing this out.
4429
4430- In the server, if no interfaces were configured, report an error and
4431 exit.
4432
4433- Don't ever record a state of 'startup'.

4435- Don't try to evaluate the local failover binding address if none was
4436 specified. Thanks to Joseph Breu for finding this.
