5ddbe8e4 5 Release Notes
72c7bd79 6
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.

1e08558f 56
0ee00c5b
SR
57- Insert the raw data from a fully encapsualted option into the option cache.

102 the subsequent errata from August 2010 when determining which IAs
103 to include if no addresses will be assigned.
104 [ISC-Bugs #28938]
b7bfb2c7 105
d618ba48
SR

107 [ISC-Bugs #35846]
841d9a18 108
d618ba48
SR
109- Correct the v6 client timing code. When doing the timing backoff
110 for MRT limit it to MRD.
111 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the bug report and fix.
112 [ISC-Bugs #21238
3abc5708 113
d618ba48
SR
114- Add a log entry when killing a client and remove the PID files
115 when a server, relay or client are killed.
116 [ISC-Bugs #16970]
117 [ISC-Bugs #17258]
10b7683e 118
d618ba48
SR
119- Some minor cleanups in the client code.
120 In addition to checking for dhcpc check for bootpc in the services list.
121 [ISC-Bugs #18933]
122 Correct the client code to only try to get a lease once when the
123 given the "-1" argument.
124 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the bug report and fix.
125 [ISC-Bugs #26735]
126 When asked for the version don't send the output to syslog.
127 [ISC-Bugs #29772]
128 Add the next server information to the environment variables for
129 use by the client script. In order to avoid changing the client
130 lease file the next server information isn't written to it.
131 Thanks to Tomas Hozza at Red Hat for the suggestion and a prototype fix.
132 [ISC-Bugs #33098]
21f3982a 133
d618ba48
SR
134- Several updates to the dhcp server code.
135 When not in quiet mode print out the files being used.
136 [ISC-Bugs #17551]
137 As accessing some pid files may require privileges move the dropping
138 of permission bits due to the paranoia patch to be after the pid code.
139 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the bug report and fix.
140 [ISC-Bugs #25806]
141 When processing a "--version" request don't output the version information
142 to syslog.
33dca28a 143
d618ba48
SR
144- Add the "enable-log-pid" build option to the configure script. When enabled
145 this causes the client, server and relay programs to include the PID
146 number in syslog messages.
147 Thanks to Marius Tomaschewski for the suggestion and proto-patch.
148 [ISC-Bugs #29713]
33dca28a 149
d618ba48
SR
150- Add a #define to specify the prefix length used when a client attempts
151 to configure an address. This can be modified by editing includes/site.h.
152 By default it is set to 64. While 128 might be a better choice it would
153 also be a change for currently running systems, so we have left it at 64.
154 [ISC-Bugs #DHCP-2]
7da1ac2b 155
d618ba48
SR
156- Add a run time option to the client "-df" to allow the administrator to
157 point to a second lease file the client can search for a DUID. This can
158 be used to allow a v4 and a v6 instance of the client to share a DUID.
159 The second file will only be searched if there isn't a DUID in the main
160 lease file and the DUID will be written out to the main lease file.
161 [ISC-Bugs #34886]
e82906fc 162
d618ba48
SR
163- Have the client fsync the lease file to avoid lease corruption if the
164 client hibernates or otherwise shuts down.
165 [ISC-Bugs #35894]
20931f53 166
d618ba48
SR
167- Add a check for L2VLAN in bpf.c to help support VLAN interfaces
168 Thanks to Steinar Haug for the suggestion.
169 [ISC-Bugs #36033]
5cc6f201 170
d618ba48
SR
171- Modify the handling of the resolv.conf file to allow the DHCP
172 process to start up even if the resolv.conf file has problems.
173 [ISC-Bugs #35989]
88c3ff5d 174
d618ba48
SR
175- Add threshold logging functionality. Two new options,
176 log-threshold-low and log-threshold-high, indicate to the
177 server if and when it should log an error message as addresses
178 in a pool are used.
179 [ISC-Bugs #34487]
f10cbbfa 180
d618ba48
SR
181- Add code to properly dereference a pointer in the dhclient code
182 on an error condition.
183 [ISC-Bugs #36194]
5fc79cfd 184
d618ba48
SR
185- Add code to help clean up soft leases.
186 [ISC-Bugs #36304]
555093da 187
d618ba48
SR
188- Disable the gentle shutdown functionality until we can determine
189 the best way to present it to remove or reduce the side effects.
190 [ISC-Bugs #36066]
646acb59 191
d618ba48
SR
192- Modify the message displayed when a process hits a fatal error.
193 The new message is much shorter and simply points to the README
194 and our website for directions on bug submissions.
195 [ISC-Bugs #24789]
18ba0ff3 196
d618ba48
SR
197- Handle an absent resolv.conf file better.
198 [ISC-Bugs #35194]
ce29e695 199
d618ba48
SR
200- Tidy up receive packet processing.
201 Thanks to Brad Plank of GTA for reporting the issue and suggesting
202 a possible patch.
203 [ISC-Bugs #34447]
d1d1da8f 204
d618ba48
SR
205- Corrected parser's right brace matching when a statement contains an error.
206 [ISC-Bugs #36021]
d1d1da8f 207
d618ba48
SR
208- TSIG-authenticated dynamic DNS updates now support the use of these
209 additional algorithms: hmac-sha1, hmac-sha224, hmac-sha256, hmac-sha384,
210 and hmac-sha512
211 [ISC-Bugs #36947]
c88dfebd 212
d618ba48
SR
213- Added check for invalid failover message type. Thanks to Tobias Stoeckmann
214 working with the OpenBSD project who spotted the issue and provided the
4ce21cb6 215 patch.
d618ba48 216 [ISC-Bugs #36653]
4ce21cb6 217
d618ba48
SR
218- Corrected rate limiting checks for bad packet logging. Thanks to Tobias
219 Stoeckmann working with the OpenBSD project who spotted the issue and
220 provided the patch.
221 [ISC-Bugs #36897]
b2cb745b 222
d618ba48
SR
223- Log statements depicting what files will be used by the server now occur
224 after the configuration file has been processed.
225 [ISC-Bugs #36671]
4ced250f 226
d618ba48
SR
227- Addressed Coverity issues reported as of 07-31-2014:
228 [ISC-Bugs #36712] Corrects Coverity reported "high" impact issues.
229 [ISC-Bugs #36933] Corrects Coverity reported "medium" impact issues
230 [ISC-Bugs #37708] Fixes compilation error in dst_api.c seen in older
231 compilers that was introduced by #36712
a3471269 232
d618ba48
SR
233- Server now supports a failover split value of 256.
234 [ISC-Bugs] #36664]
3e3b5257 235
d618ba48
SR
236- Remove unneeded error #defines. These defines were included in case
237 external programs required the older versions of the macro. They
238 have been #ifdeffed for now and will be removed at a future date.
239 See site.h for the #define to include them again, but you should
240 switch to using the DHCP_R_* versions instead of the ISC_R_* versions.
241 Also ISC_R_MULTIPLE has been removed as it is also defined in bind.
242 [ISC-Bugs #37128]
ba4c704d 243
d618ba48
SR
244- Added checks in range6 and prefix6 statement parsing to ensure addresses
245 are within the declared subnet. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the
246 bug report and patch.
247 [ISC-Bugs #32453]
248 [ISC-Bugs #17766]
249 [ISC-Bugs #18510]
250 [ISC-Bugs #23698]
251 [ISC-Bugs #28883]
b1eea858 252
d618ba48
SR
253- Addressed checksum issues:
254 Added checksum readiness check to Linux packet filtering which eliminates
255 invalid packet drops due to checksum errors when checksum offloading is
256 in use. Based on dhcp-4.2.2-xen-checksum.patch made to the Fedora project.
257 [ISC-Bugs #22806]
258 [ISC-Bugs #15902]
259 [ISC-Bugs #17739]
260 [ISC-Bugs #18010]
261 [ISC-Bugs #22556]
262 [ISC-Bugs #29769]
263 Inbound packets with UDP checksums of 0xffff now validate correctly rather
264 than being dropped.
265 [ISC-Bugs #24216]
266 [ISC-Bugs #25587]
36c4a037 267
d618ba48
SR
268- Added the echo-client-id configuration parameter to the server configuration.
269 The server now supports RFC 6842 compliant behavior by setting a new
270 configuration parameter, echo-client-id. When enabled, the server will
271 include the client identifier option (Option code 61) if received, in its
272 responses. The server identifier returned in NAKs (if enabled) will now
273 be the globally defined value (if one) if the server cannot attribute the
274 inbound request to a known subnet.
275 [ISC-Bugs #35958]
276 [ISC-Bugs #32545]
41b5a1a6 277
d618ba48
SR
278- Added support of the configuration parameter, use-host-decl-names, to
279 BOOTP request handling.
280 [ISC-Bugs #36233]
62a9eb91 281
d618ba48
SR
282- Added logic to ignore the signal, SIGPIPE, which ensures write failures
283 will be delivered as errors rather than as SIGPIPE signals on all OSs.
284 Thanks to Marius Tomaschewski from SUSE who reported the issue and provided
285 the patch upon which the fix is based.
286 [ISC-Bugs #32222]
b7311aae 287
d618ba48
SR
288- In the failover code, handle the case of communications being interrupted
289 when the servers are dealing with POTENTIAL-CONFLICT. This patch allows
290 the primary to accept the secondary moving from POTENTIAL-CONFLICT to
291 RESOLUTION-INTERRUPTED as well as handling the bind update process better.
292 In addition the code to resend update or update all requests has been
293 modified to send requests more often.
294 [ISC-Bugs #36810]
295 [ISC-Bugs #20352]
1bfdeaae 296
d618ba48
SR
297- By default, the server will now choose the value to use in the forward DNS
298 name from the following in order of preference:
1d3fc4d0 299
d618ba48
SR
300 1. FQDN option if provided by the client
301 2. Host name option if provided by the client
302 3. Configured option host-name if defined
68b5d395 303
d618ba48
SR
304 As before, this may be overridden by defining ddns-hostname to the desired
305 value (or expression). In addition, the server logic has been extended to
306 use the value of the host name declaration if use-host-decl-names is enabled
307 and no other value is available.
308 [ISC-Bugs #21323]
f704712e 309
d618ba48
SR
310- DNS updates were being attempted when dhcp-cache-threshold enabled the use of
311 the existing lease and the forward DNS name had not changed. This has been
312 corrected.
313 [ISC-Bugs #37368]
314 [ISC-Bugs #38636]
6e7e6637 315
d618ba48
SR
316- Corrected an issue which caused dhclient to incorrectly form the result when
317 prepending or appending to the IPv4 domain-search option, received from the
318 server, when either of the values being combined contain compressed
319 components.
320 [ISC-Bugs #20558]
dce576b8 321
d618ba48
SR
322- Added the server-id-check parameter to the server configuration.
323 This parameter allows run-time control over whether or not a server,
324 participating in failover, verifies the dhcp-server-identifier option in
325 DHCP REQUESTs against the server's id before processing the request.
326 Formerly, enabling this behavior was done at compilation time through
327 the use of the #define, SERVER_ID_CHECK, which has been removed from site.h
328 The functionality is now only available through the new runtime parameter.
329 [ISC-Bugs #37551]
45086eef 330
d618ba48
SR
331- During startup, when the server encounters a lease whose binding state is
332 FTS_BACKUP but whose pool has no configured failover peer, it will reset the
333 lease's binding state to FTS_FREE. This allows the leases to be reclaimed
334 by the server after a pool's configuration has changed from failover to
335 standalone. Prior to this such leases would remain stuck in the backup state
336 making them unavailable for assignment. Note this conversion will occur
337 whether or not the server is compiled for failover.
338 [ISC-Bugs #36960]
785c1a51 339
d618ba48
SR
340- Fixed a small issue in the treatment of hosts in the inform processing
341 that could cause the response to an inform to include information from
342 the wrong scope. The two examples we've heard of are getting subnet
343 instead of group information associated with a host entry, or getting
344 global information instead of subnet if the host entry was built via
345 omapi. Thanks to Julien Soula at University of Lille for finding the
346 bug and supplying a patch.
347 [ISC-Bugs #35712]
0f1a34e9 348
d618ba48
SR
349- Avoid calling pool_timer() recursively from supersede_lease(). This could
350 result in leases changing state incorrectly or delaying the running of the
351 leae expiration code.
352 [ISC-Bugs #38002]
84ee63a0 353
d618ba48
SR
354- Move the check for a PID file and process to be before we rewrite the
355 lease file. This avoids the possibility of starting a second instance
356 of a server which changes the current lease file confusing the first
357 instance. This check is only included if the admin hasn't disabled PID
358 files.
359 [ISC-Bugs #38078]
360 [ISC-Bugs #38143]
cc1bd34e 361
d618ba48
SR
362- In the client code change the way preferred_life and max_life are printed
363 for environment variables to be unsigned rather than signed.
364 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the bug report and patch.
365 [ISC-Bugs #37084]
0b209ea5 366
d618ba48
SR
367- Modified Linux packet handling such that packets received via VLAN are now
368 seen only by the VLAN interface. Prior to this, such packets were seen by
369 both the VLAN interface and its parent (physical) interface, causing the
370 server to respond to both. Note this remains an issue for non-Linux OSs.
371 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the patch.
372 [ISC-Bugs #37415]
373 [ISC-Bugs #37133]
374 [ISC-Bugs #36668]
375 [ISC-Bugs #36652]
ba4c704d 376
d618ba48
SR
377- Log content has been changed to more directly suggest that admins should
378 check for multiple IPv6 clients attempting to use the same DUID when only
379 abandoned addresses are available. Debug level logging will now emit counts
380 of the total number of, in-use, and abandoned addresses in a shared subnet
381 when the server finds no addresses available for a given DUID. Lastly,
382 threshold logging is now automatically disabled for shared subnets whose
383 total number of possible addresses exceeds (2^64)-1.
384 [ISC-Bugs #26376]
385 [ISC-Bugs #38131]
5fc79cfd 386
d618ba48
SR
387- Added a global parameter, prefix-length-mode, which may be used to determine
388 how the server uses a non-zero value for prefix-length supplied by clients
389 when soliciting DHCPv6 prefixes. The server supports selection modes of:
390 ignore, prefer, exact, minimum and maximum which are described in detail in
391 the server man pages. The prior behavior of the server was to only offer a
392 prefix whose length exactly matched the prefix-length value requested. If
393 no such prefixes were available, the server returned a status of none
394 available. Note the default mode, "exact", provides this same behavior.
395 [ISC-Bugs #36780]
396 [ISC-Bugs #32228]
b31fe1d5 397
d618ba48
SR
398- Corrected inconsistencies in dhcrelay's setting the upper interface hop count
399 limit such that it now sets it to 32 when the upstream address is a multicast
400 address per RFC 3315 Section 20. Prior to this if the -u argument preceded
401 the -l argument on the command line or if the same interface was specified
402 for both; the logic to set the hop limit count for the upper interface was
403 skipped. This caused the hop count limit to be set to the default value
404 (typically 1) in the outbound upstream packets.
405 [ISC-Bugs #37426]
406
407- Modify the linux and openwrt dhclient scripts to process information
408 from a stateless request. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the
409 bug report and patch.
410 [ISC-Bugs #36102]
411
412- Remove more unused RCSID tags. These weren't noticed in 4.3 as
413 the code isn't used anymore but we remove them here to keep the
414 code consistent across versions.
415 [ISC-Bugs #36451]
416
417- The server now does a better check to see if it can allocate the memory

425- The server will now reject unicast Request, Renew, Decline, and Release
426 messages from a client unless the server would have sent that client the
427 dhcp6.unicast option. This behavior is in compliance with paragraph 1 in
428 each of the sections 18.2,1, 18.2.3, 18.2.6, and 18.2.7 of RFC 3315. Prior
429 to this, the server would simply accept the messages. Now, in order for
430 the server to accept such a message, the server configuration must include
431 the dhcp6.unicast option either globally or within the shared network to
432 which the requested lease belongs. In other words, the server will map
433 the first IA_XX address found within the client message to a shared-network
434 and look for the presence of the unicast option there and then globally.

586- Unit test execution now uses a path augmented during configuration
587 processing of the --with-atf option to locate ATF runtime tools, atf-run
588 and atf-report. For most installations of ATF, this should alleviate the
589 need to manually include them in the PATH, as was formerly required.
590 If the configure script cannot locate the tools it will emit a warning,
591 informing the user that the tools must be in the PATH when running unit
592 tests.
593 Secondly, please note that "make check" will now exit with a failure status
594 code (non-zero) if one or more unit tests fail. This means that invoking
595 "make check" from an upper level directory will cause the make process to
596 STOP after the first test subdirectory with failed test(s). To force all
597 tests in all subdirectories to run, regardless of individual test outcome,

824- Leases are now scrubbed of certain prior use information when pool
825 re-balancing reassigns them from one FO peer to the other. This
826 corrects an issue where leases that were offered but ignored retained
827 the client hostname from the original client. Thanks to Pavel Polacek,

SR
845- Added global configuration parameter, abandon-lease-time, which determines
846 the amount of time a lease remains abandoned. The default is 84600 seconds.
847 Additionaly, the server now conducts a ping check (if ping checks are
848 enabled) prior to offering an abandoned lease to client.

51b8a8a0
SR
891
892- If a client renews before 'dhcp-cache-threshold' percent of its lease
893 has elapsed (default 25%), the server will reuse the allocated lease
894 (provide a lease within the currently allocated lease-time) rather
895 than extend or renew the lease. This absolves the server of needing
896 to perform an fsync() operation on the lease database before reply,
897 which improves performance. [ISC-Bugs #22228]
80778e94 898 Updated this patch to support asynchronous DDNS. If the server is
adb95d23 899 attempting to do DDNS on a lease it should be updated and written to
4809ef5c 900 disk even if that wouldn't be necessary due to the thresholding.

SR
907- A problem with missing get_hw_addr function when --enable-use-sockets
908 was used is now solved on GNU/Linux, BSD and GNU/Hurd systems. Note
909 that use-sockets feature was not tested on those systems. Client and
910 server code no longer use MAX_PATH constant that is not defined on
3cb6f9bb 911 GNU/Hurd systems. [ISC-Bugs #25979]

SR
913- Add a perl script in the contrib directory, dhcp-lease-list.pl, which
914 can parse v4 lease files and output the lease information in a more
915 human friendly manner. This was written by Christian Hammers with
916 some updates by vom and ISC. This is contributed code and is not
917 supported by ISC; however it may be useful to some users.

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

1534fff7 934
cde11a4c
SR
935- Add a configuration option to the server to suppress using fsync().
936 Enabling this option will mean that fsync() is never called. This
937 may provide better performance but there is also a risk that a lease
938 will not be properly written to the disk after it has been issued
939 to a client and before the server stops. Using this option is
940 not recommended.
64fb661c 941 [ISC-Bugs #34810]
cde11a4c 942
f88446f1
SR
943- Add some logging statements to indicate when the server is ready
944 to serve. One statement is emitted after the server has finished
945 reading its files and is about to enter the dispatch loop.
946 This is "Server starting service.".
947 The second is emitted when a server determines that both it and
948 its failover peer are in the normal state.
949 This is "failover peer <name>: Both servers normal."

954 use when searching for an option, see the dhcp-options man page

956 updated to support the use of relay options, see the dhcpd.conf

e54ff84f 960- When doing DDNS if there isn't an appropriate zone statement attempt
80778e94 961 to find a reasonable nameserver via a DNS resolver. This restores
e54ff84f
SR
962 some functionality that was lost in the transition to asynchronous
963 DDNS. Due to the lack of security and increase in fragility of the
964 system when using this feature we strongly recommend the use of
965 appropriate zone statements rather than using this functionality.
966 [ISC-Bugs #30461]
967
61ef216b
SR
968- Add support for specifying the address from which to send
969 DDNS updates on the DHCP server. There are two new options
970 "ddns-local-address4" and "ddns-local-address6" that each take
971 one instance of their respective address types.
972 [ISC-Bugs #34779]

38ee81bd
SR
974- Add ignore-client-uids option in the server. This option causes
975 the server to not record a client's uid in its lease. This
976 violates the specification but may also be useful when a client
977 can dual boot using different client ids but the same mac address.

SR
1008- An optimization described in the failover protocol draft is now included,
1009 which permits a DHCP server operating in communications-interrupted state
1010 to 'rewind' a lease to the state most recently transmitted to its peer,
1011 greatly increasing a server's endurance in communications-interrupted.
1012 This is supported using a new 'rewind state' record on the dhcpd.leases
1013 entry for each lease.

SR
1020- When constructing the DNS name structure from a text string append
1021 the root to relative names. This satisfies a requirement in the DNS

1025- "The LDAP Patch" that has been circulating for some time, written by

1027 the DHCP-4 sources by David Cantrell has been included. Please be
1028 advised that these sources were contributed, and do not yet meet the
1029 high standards we place on production sources we include by default.
1030 As a result, the LDAP features are only included by using a compile-time
1031 option which defaults off, and if you enable it you do so under your
1032 own recognizance. We will be improving this software over time.

1045- Modify the exception handling for initial context creation. Previously
1046 we would try and clean up before exiting. This could present problems
1047 when the cleanup required part of the context that wasn't available. It
1048 also didn't do much as we exited afterwards anyway. Now we simply log

SR
1051- A bug was fixed that could cause the DHCPv6 server to advertise/assign a
1052 previously allocated (active) lease to a client that has changed subnets,

1062- Modify the determination of the default TTL to use for DDNS updates.
1063 The user may still configure the ttl via ddns-ttl. The default for
1064 both v4 and v6 is now 1/2 the (preferred) lease time with a limit. The
1065 previous defaults (1/2 lease time without a limit for v4 and a default

1534! Previously the server code was relaxed to allow packets with zero
1535 length client ids to be processed. Under some situations use of
1536 zero length client ids can cause the server to go into an infinite
1537 loop. As such ids are not valid according to RFC 2132 section 9.14
1538 the server no longer accepts them. Client ids with a length of 1
1539 are also invalid but the server still accepts them in order to
1540 minimize disruption. The restriction will likely be tightened in
1541 the future to disallow ids with a length of 1.

1577- Relax the requirements for deleting an A or AAAA record.
1578 Previously the DDNS removal code required both the A or AAAA
1579 record and the TXT record to exist. This requirement could
1580 cause problems if something interrupted the removal leaving
1581 the TXT record alone. This relaxation was codified in RFC 4703.

SR
1590- Add a configure option, enable-secs-byteorder, to deal with
1591 clients that do the byte ordering on the secs field incorrectly.
1592 This field should be in network byte order but some clients
1593 get it wrong. When this option is enabled the server will examine
1594 the secs field and if it looks wrong (high byte non zero and low
1595 byte zero) swap the bytes. The default is disabled. This option
1596 is only useful when doing load balancing within failover.

DH
1717- A new failover configuration parameter has been introduced for those
1718 environments where DHCP servers can be reasonably guaranteed to be
1719 "down" when the failover TCP socket is severed, "auto-partner-down".
1720 This parameter is not generally safe, and by default is disabled, so
1721 please carefully review the documentation of this parameter in the
1722 dhcpd.conf(5) manpage before determining to use it yourself.
1723
33ea4622
DH
1724- Added a configuration function, 'gethostname()', which calls the system
1725 function of the same name and presents the results as a data expression.
1726 This function can be used to incorporate the system level hostname of
1727 the system the DHCP software is operating on in responses or queries (such
1728 as including a failover partner's hostname in a dhcp message or binding
1729 scope, or having a DHCP client send any system hostname in the host-name or
1730 FQDN options by default).
1731
5a671e87
DH
1732- The dhcp-renewal-time and dhcp-rebinding-time options may now be configured
1733 for DHCPv4 operation and used independently of the dhcp-lease-time
1734 calculations. Invalid renew and rebinding times (e.g., greater than the
1735 determined lease time) are omitted.
1736
adb95d23 1737- Processing the DHCP to DNS server transactions in an asynchronous fashion,
45adf35c 1738 the DHCP server or client can now continue with its processing while
98bf1607 1739 awaiting replies from the DNS server.
c900c5b2

47e6eb82
DH
1751- The notorious 'option <unknown> ... larger than buffer' log line,
1752 which is seen in some malformed DHCP client packets, was modified.
1753 It now logs the universe name, and does not log the length values
1754 (which are bogus corruption read from the packet anyway). It also
1755 carries a hopefully more useful explanation.
1756
159c89d7
EH
1757- Suppress spurious warnings from configure about --datarootdir
1758

DH
1759- A bug was fixed that caused the server not to answer some valid Solicit
1760 and Request packets, if the dynamic range covering any requested addresses
1761 had been deleted from configuration.

SR
1763- Update the code to deal with GCC 4.3. This included two sets of changes.
1764 The first is to the configuration files to include the use of
571c38b0 1765 AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS. The second is to deal with return values that
cd51403d

1771 free not on its queue' error messages, thanks to a patch from Frode
1772 Nordahl.

1774- Fix a build error in dhcrelay, using older versions of gcc with
1775 dhcpv6 disabled.

4b97eaff 1778 patch from David Cantrell at Red Hat.

1780- Fixed a cosmetic bug where pretty-printing valid domain-search options would
1781 result in an erroneous error log message ('garbage in format string').
1782
f9453d21
DH
1783- A bug in DLPI packet transmission (Solaris, HP/UX) that caused the server
1784 to stop receiving packets is fixed. The same fix also means that the MAC
1785 address will no longer appear 'bogus' on DLPI-based systems.
1786
1787- A bug in select handling was discovered where the results of one select()
1788 call were discarded, causing the server to process the next select() call
1789 and use more system calls than required. This has been repaired - the
1790 sockets will be handled after the first return from select(), resulting in
1791 fewer system calls.
1792
a3dcc0b1
DH
1793- The update-conflict-detection feature would leave an FQDN updated without
1794 a DHCID (still currently implemented as a TXT RR). This would cause later
1795 expiration or release events to fail to remove the domain name. The feature
1796 now also inserts the client's up to date DHCID record, so records may safely
1797 be removed at expiration or release time. Thanks to a patch submitted by
1798 Christof Chen.
1799
95fd7038
DH
1800- Memory leak in the load_balance_mine() function is fixed. This would
1801 leak ~20-30 octets per DHCPDISCOVER packet while failover was in use
1802 and in normal state.
1803

1805 DEBUG #defines in includes/site.h.
1806

PS
1807- Fixed Linux client script 'unary operator expected' errors with DHCPv6.

1810 to be double-quoted. Also allow server-provided hostname to
1811 override hostnames 'localhost' and '(none)'.

1813- Fixed failover reconnection retry code to continue to retry to reconnect
1814 rather than restarting the listener.

DH
1816- Compilation on Solaris with USE_SOCKETS defined in includes/site.h has
1817 been repaired. Other USE_ overrides should work better.
1818
1819- A check for the local flavor of IFNAMSIZ had a broken 'else' condition,
1820 that probably still resulted in the correct behaviour (but wouldn't use
1821 a larger defined value provided by the host OS).
1822
350576c5
DH
1823- Fixed a bug where an OMAPI socket disconnection message would not result
1824 in scheduling a failover reconnection, if the link had not negotiated a
1825 failover connect yet (e.g.: connection refused, asynch socket connect()
1826 timeouts).

1831! A stack overflow vulnerability was fixed in dhclient that could allow
1832 remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands as root on the system,

1840 supported. Note that, similarly to 3.0.x, for by-code lookups only the
1841 last option definition is used.

DH
1850- Secondary servers in a failover pair will now perform ddns removals if
1851 they had performed ddns updates on a lease that is expiring, or was
1852 released through the primary. As part of the same fix, stale binding scopes
1853 will now be removed if a change in identity of a lease's active client is
1854 detected, rather than simply if a lease is noticed to have expired (which it
1855 may have expired without a failover server noticing in some situations).
1856
583c1c16
DH
1857- A patch supplied by David Cantrell at RedHat was applied that detects
1858 invalid calling parameters given to the ns_name_ntop() function.
1859 Specifically, it detects if the caller passed a pointer and size pair
1860 that causes the pointer to integer-wrap past zero.
1861
e4e3a2ab
DH
1862! Fixed a fenceposting bug when a client had two host records configured,
1863 one using 'uid' and the other using 'hardware ethernet'. CVE-2009-1892

1866 the existence of the linked signal handler before calling it.
1867
2267da84
DH
1868- Both host and subnet6 configuration groups are now included whether a
1869 fixed-address6 (DHCPv6) is in use or not. Host scoped configuration takes
1870 precedence. This fixes two bugs, one where host scoped configuration
1871 would not be included from a non-fixed-address6 host record, and the equal
1872 and opposite bug where subnet6 scoped configuration would not be used when
571c38b0 1873 over-riding values were not present in a matching fixed-address6 host
2267da84

1876- ./configure now checks to ensure the intX_t and u_intX_t types are defined,
1877 correcting a compilation failure when using Sun's compiler.
1878
0493fdca
SR
1879- Modified the handling of a connection to avoid releasing the omapi io
1880 object for the connection while it is still in use. One symptom from
1881 this error was a segfault when a failover secondary attempted to connect
1882 to the failover primary if their clocks were not synchronized.
1883
95bba8b6
SR
1884- Clean up to allow compilation with gcc 2.95.4 on FreeBSD. Remove an
1885 extra semi-colon from common/dns.c and moved setting a variable to NULL
1886 in server/dhcpv6.c to allow the compiler to decide that the variable
9a111ee8 1887 was always properly set.

1955- There is now a default 1/4 of a second scheduled delay between delayed
1956 fsync()'s, it can be configured by the max-ack-delay configuration
1957 parameter.

8269561d
DH
1959- A bug was fixed where the length of a hostname was miscalculated, so that
1960 hosts were given odd-looking domain names ("foo.bar.ba.example.com").
1961
b445a411
DH
1962- Shared network selection should be done from the innermost relay
1963 valid link-address field, rather than the outermost.
1964
bd72740e
FD
1965- Prefix pools are attached to shared network scopes.

DH
1971- A memory leak when using omapi has been fixed.
1972
9ac4206a
DH
1973- DHCPv6 vendor-class options (VSIO) are now only sent when they appear
1974 on the DHCPv6 ORO. This resolves a bug where VSIO options were placed
1975 in IA_NA encapsulated options fields.
1976
420d8b3f
FD
1977- Integrated client with stateless, temporary address and prefix delegation
1978 support.

7de20a95
EH
1987- Merge DHCPv6-only "dhcrelay6" into general-purpose "dhcrelay" (use
1988 "-6" option to select DHCPv6 mode).
1989
d352732e
EH
1990- Fix handling of -A and -a flags in dhcrelay; it was failing to expand
1991 packet size as needed to add relay agent options.
1992
7d6180be
DH
1993- A bug in subnet6 parsing where options contained in subnet6 clauses would
1994 not be applied to clients addressed within that network was repaired.
1995
1996- When configuring a "subnet {}" or "subnet6 {}" without an explicit
1997 shared-network enclosing it, the DHCP software would synthesize a
1998 shared-network to contain the subnet. However, all configuration
1999 parameters within the subnet more intuitively belong "to any client
2000 on that interface", or rather the synthesized shared-network. So,
2001 when a shared-network is synthesized, it is used to contain the
2002 configuration present inside the subnet {} clause. This means that
2003 the configuration will be valid for all clients on that network, not
2004 just those addressed out of the stated subnet. If you intended the
2005 opposite, the workaround is to explicitly configure an empty
2006 shared-network.
2007
2008- A bug was fixed where Information-Request processing was not sourcing
2009 configured option values.
2010
2011- A warning was added since the DHCPv6 processing software does not yet
2012 support class statements.

adb95d23 2014- Compilation warnings on GCC 4.3 relating to bootp source address
dd484ced

ecddae64
DH
2017- The v6 BSD socket method was updated to use a single UDP BSD socket
2018 no matter how many interfaces are involved, differentiating the
2019 interfaces the packets were received on by the interface index supplied
2020 by the OS.
2021
2022- The relay agent no longer listens to the All DHCP Servers Multicast
2023 address.

4cafb815 2039- Added explicit parser support for zero-length DHCP options, such as
6d7f9584 2040 rapid-commit, via format code 'Z'.
4cafb815 2041
022fe95e
EH
2042- It's now possible to update the "ends" field of a lease with OMAPI.
2043 This is useful if you want not only to release a lease, but also make
2044 it available for reuse right away. Hat tip to Christof Chen.
2045
9a111ee8 2046- Fixed definition of the iaaddr hash functions to use the correct
1dcc3612

900405e9
FD
2056- NoAddrsAvail answers to SOLICITs are always ADVERTISEs even when a SOLICIT
2057 carries a rapid-commit option.
2058
96b620e5
FD
2059- Return in place of raise an impossible condition when one tries to release
2060 an empty active lease.

be62cf06
FD
2062- Timer granularity is now 1/100s in the DHCPv6 client.
2063
01a54c17
EH
2064- The dhclient-script was updated to create a host route for the default
2065 gateway if the supplied subnet mask for an IPv4 address was a /32. This
2066 allows the client to work in 'captive' network environments, where the
2067 operator does not want clients to crosstalk directly.
2068
adb95d23 2069- MINUS tokens should be parsable again.
01a54c17
EH
2070
2071- Multiple (up to "delayed-ack x;" maximum) DHCPv4 packets are now queued and
2072 released in bursts after single fsync() events when the upper limit is
2073 reached or if the receiving sockets go dry. The practical upshot is
2074 that fsync-coupled server performance is now multiplicitively increased.
2075 The default delayed ack limit is 28. Thanks entirely to a patch from
2076 Christof Chen.
2077
2078 Changes since 4.0.0 (bug fixes)
2079

2087- The 'min-secs' configuration parameter's log message has been updated to
2088 be more helpful.
2089
2090- The warning logged when an address range doesn't fit in the subnets
2091 they were declared has been updated to be more helpful and identify the
2092 typo in configuration that created the spanning addresses.
2093
2094- A bug in failover pool rebalancing that caused POOLREQ message ping-pongs
2095 was repaired.
2096
2097- A flaw in failover pool rebalancing that could cause POOLREQ messages to
2098 be sent outside of the min-balance/max-balance scheduled intervals has
2099 been repaired.
2100
2101- A cosmetic bug during potential-conflict recovery that caused the peer's
2102 'conflict-done' state message to be logged as 'unknown-state' has been
2103 repaired. It is now logged correctly.
2104
49f61135
DH
2105- A bug was fixed where the 'giaddr' may be used to find the client's subnet
2106 rather than its own 'ciaddr'.
2107
41d4652f
DH
2108- A log message was introduced to clarify the situation where a failover
2109 'address' parameter (the server's local address) did not resolve to an
2110 IPv4 address.
2111
2c9bf1f4
DH
2112- The minimum site code value was set to 224 in 3.1.0 to track RFC3942. This
2113 broke a lot of legacy site local configurations. The new code in place will
2114 track site local space minimum option codes and logs a warning to encourage
2115 updates and exploration of site local code migration problems. Option
2116 codes less than 128 in site local spaces remain inaccessible.
2117
2118- A possible relay agent option bug was repaired where random server
2119 initialization state may have been used to signal the relay agent
2120 information options sub-option code for the 'END' of the option space.
2121
cff9b78f
SK
2122- Fixes to allow code to compile and run on Solaris 9.

c4d29896
SK
2124- Fixes to allow code to compile on Mac OS X Leopard (10.5).
2125
57fcb8d9
SK
2126- When server is configured with options that it overrides, a warning is
2127 issued when the configuration file is read, rather than at the time the
2128 option is overridden. This was important, because the warning was given
9a111ee8 2129 every time the option was overridden, which could create a lot of
57fcb8d9
SK
2130 unnecessary logging.
2131
219a65eb
DH
2132- Fixed a compilation problems on platforms that define a value for FDDI,
2133 which conflicts with a dhcp configuration syntax token by the same name.
2134
ffdf3c8c
DH
2135- When a failover server suspects it has encountered a peer running a
2136 version 3.0.x failover server, a warning that the failover wire protocol
2137 is incompatible is printed.
2138
2139- The failover server no longer issues a floating point error if it encounters
2140 a previously undefined option code.
2141
00a002fc
MA
2142- Fix startup error messages to report a missing "subnet6 declaration", rather
2143 than a missing "subnet declaration", when running as a DHCPv6 server.
2144
9a111ee8 2145- DHCPv6 client timestamp in DUID was based on the year 1970 rather
7e9f7a1b
FD
2146 than the year 2000.
2147
e2cfde76

DH
2154 Changes since 4.0.0b3
2155
2156- The reverse dns name for PTR updates on IPv6 addresses has been fixed to
2157 use ip6.arpa. rather than default to in-addr.arpa and require user
2158 configuration.
76db44f9 2159
e32529a5
EH
2160- dhc6_lease_destroy() and dhc6_ia_destroy() now set lease and IA pointers
2161 to NULL after freeing, to prevent subsequent accesses to freed memory.
2162
9a111ee8 2163- The DHCPv6 server would not send the preference option unless the
76db44f9
SK
2164 client requested it, via the ORO. This has been fixed, so the DHCPv6
2165 server will always send the preference value if it is configured.
e4a6be15 2166
9a111ee8
TM
2167- When addresses were passed as hints to the server in an IA, they were
2168 incorrectly handled, sometimes being treated as an error. Now the
6f76de58
SK
2169 server will treat these as hints and ignore them if it cannot supply
2170 a requested address.
2171
703873ab
DH
2172- If the client had multiple addresses, and one expired (was not renewed
2173 by the server), the client would continue to attempt to renew the same
2174 old address over and over. Now, the client will omit any expired
2175 addresses from future Confirm, Renew, or Rebind messages.
2176
2177- dhclient -6 will now select renew/rebind timers based upon the longest
2178 address expiration time rather than the shortest expiration time, in
2179 order to avoid cascading renewals in the event a server elects not to
2180 extend one of multiple IAADDR leases.
2181
b024480e
DH
2182- The server now limits clients that request multiple addresses to one
2183 address per IA by default, which can be adjusted through the
2184 "limit-addrs-per-ia" configuration option.
2185
c0216cb7
DH
2186- The DHCPv6 client now issues fresh transaction IDs on Renew and Rebind
2187 message exchanges, rather than using the most recent ID.
2188
1ac57173
FD
2189- The DHCPv6 server now replies to Information-Request messages.

2192 codes through some conditions.
2193
c54db708

2194- The parsing of some options in the dhclient lease file, in particular
2195 the success DHCPv6 status-code, was fixed.

2197- A bug was fixed that caused the DHCPv6 ORO option to be corrupted with
2198 seemingly random values.

DH
2200- A reference overleak in DHCPv6 shared network processing was repaired.

f8b3c6f4
DH
2202- ./configure now autodetects local database locations rather than trying
2203 to put dhcpd.leases and dhclient.leases in /usr/local/var/db, which no
2204 one ever has.
2205
9a111ee8
TM
2206- Regression fix for bug where server advertised a IPv6 address in
2207 response to a SOLICIT but would not return the address in response
b9137d42
SK
2208 to a REQUEST.

9f1d5a2f
DH
2210- A bug was fixed where the DHCPv6 server puts the NoAddrsAvail status
2211 code in the IA_NA was fixed. The status code now appears in the root
2212 level.

65cf86d7
EH
2216- Clarified error message when lease limit exceeded
2217
b1d3778c
DH
2218- Relative time may now be used as a qualifier for 'allow' and 'deny' access
2219 control lists. These directives may be used to assist in re-addressing
2220 address pools without having to constantly reconfigure the server. Please
2221 see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more information on allow/deny 'after time' syntax.
2222 Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen.
2223
bead14ea
DH
2224- The server will now include multiple IA_NA's and multiple IAADDRs within
2225 them, if advertised by the client. It still only seeks to allocate one
2226 new address.
2227
f765ec36
SK
2228 Changes since 4.0.0b1
2229
75135a3f 2230- Use different paths for PID and lease files when running in DHCPv4
adb95d23 2231 or DHCPv6 mode, so that servers for both protocols can be run
75135a3f
EH
2232 simultaneously on a single interface.

2234- Fixed a buffer overflow error which could have allowed a denial
2235 of service under unusual server configurations
2236
2237- Eliminated a spurious error message from the client
2238
9a111ee8 2239- A number of bugs with the internal handling of lease state on the
f765ec36 2240 server have been fixed. Some of these could cause server crashes.
fa9b593d 2241
edb1283e
DH
2242- The peer_wants_leases() changes pulled up from 3.1.0 were corrected,
2243 'never used' leases will no longer consistently shift between servers
2244 on every pool rebalance run.

9a111ee8 2254- The DHCP server no longer requires a "ddns-update-style" statement,
884a458f
SK
2255 and now defaults to "none", which means DNS updates are disabled.
2256
fa9b593d
DH
2257- Log messages when failover peer names mismatch have been improved to
2258 point out the problem.

9a111ee8 2260- Bug where server advertised a IPv6 address in response to a SOLICIT
1b5053b5

2265 reported independently by Jothilingam Vasu and Dennis Kou.
2266
eaf7eb17
DH
2267- Fixed a ./configure bug where compile tests were failing due to
2268 "-Werror" (unused variable) rather than the actual test failure. Lead
2269 to inconsistent and unworkable auto-configurations.

109e00db
DH

9a111ee8 2273- Error in decoding IA_NA option if multiple interfaces are present
3ad9d48f
SK
2274 fixed by Marcus Goller.

8eab95f2
DH
2276- DHCPv6 server Confirm message processing has been enhanced - it no
2277 longer replies only to clients with host {} records, it now replies
2278 as directed in RFC3315 section 18.2.2 - that is, to all clients
2279 regardless of the existence of bindings.

DH
2281- A core dump during expired lease cleanup has been repaired.
2282
7285af30
DH
2283- DDNS updates state information are now stored in 'binding scopes' that
2284 follow the leases through their lifecycles. This enables DDNS teardowns
2285 on leases that are assigned and expired inbetween a server restart (the
2286 state is recovered from dhcpd.leases). Arbitrary user-specified binding
2287 scopes ('set var = "value";') are not yet supported.

2308 would segfault if a client attempted to renew a lease that had been
2309 loaded from persistent storage.

2372- Corrected some situations where variables might be used without being
2373 initialized.
2374
2375- Silenced several other compiler warnings.
2376
2377- Include the more standard sys/uio.h rather than rely upon other
f66f02cc
DH
2378 header files to include it (fixes a BSD 4.2 compile failure).
2379
2380- Duplicate dhclient-script updates for DHCPv6 to all provided scripts.
a512d11b 2381
4ba58919
DH
2382- DHCPv4 I/O methods that failed to sense hardware address were corrected.
2383
2384- DHCPv4 is now the default (as documented) rather than DHCPv6. The default
2385 was set to DHCPv6 to facilitate ease early development, and forgotten.
2386
2387- Corrected a segmentation violation in DHCPv4 socket processing.
2388
8ea19a71 2389- dhclient will now fork() into the background once it binds to an
45d545f0 2390 IPv6 address, or immediately if the -n flag is supplied.
8ea19a71
DH
2391
2392- -q is now the default behaviour on dhclient, with -d or -v enabling
2393 non-quiet (stderr logging) mode.
2394
2cf8d0bd
DH
2395- Fix documentation of the domain-search atom (quoted, with commas).
2396
2397- Document DHCPv6 options presently in the default table.
2398
fe5b0fdd
DH
2399- Replaced ./configure shellscripting with GNU Autoconf.
2400
98bd7ca0
DH
2401 Changes since 3.1.0 (NEW FEATURES)
2402
2403- DHCPv6 Client and Server protocol support. Use '-6' to run the daemons
2404 as v6-only. Use '-4' to run the daemons as v4-only (default. There is
2405 no support currently for both.
2406
2407- Server support for multiple IA_NA options, containing at most one
2408 IAADDR option.
2409
2410- Client support for one IA_NA option, containing any number of IAADDR
2411 options.
2412
2413- Server support for the DHCPv6 Information-request message.
2414
2415- Inappropriate unicast DHCPv6 messages sent to the server are now
2416 discarded, and this has rearchitected the IO system slightly.
2417
2418- The DHCPv6 server DUID defaults to type 1, is persistently stored in
2419 the leases database, and can be over-ridden (either completely, or by
2420 specifying type 1 or type 2).
2421
2422- The server only uses Rapid-Commit if it has been configured with the
2423 Rapid-Commit option and the client requests it.
2424
2425- DDNS support. We now update AAAA records in the same place we would
2426 update A records, if we have an IPv6 address. We also generate IP6.ARPA
2427 style names for PTR records if we're dealing with an IPv6 address. Both
2428 A and AAAA updates are done using the same 'fqdn.' virtual option space
2429 (although the DHCPv4 FQDN and DHCPv6 FQDN options are formatted
2430 differently, they both use the same code here).
2431
2432- The Linux dhclient-script attempts to set and remove assigned addresses,
2433 and to configure /etc/resolv.conf from nameserver and domain name
2434 configurations. It can be extended to configure other parameters.
2435
2436- Initial DHCPv6 lease support.
2437
2438- The IO system now tracks all local IP addresses, so that the DHCP
2439 applications (particularly the dhcrelay) can discern between what frames
2440 were transmitted to it, and what frames are being carried through it which
2441 it should not intercept.
2442
1418fd11
DH
2443 Changes since 3.1.0 (Maintenance)
2444
2445- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for virgin leases always
2446 mapped to the primary. Virgin leases now have an interleaved preference
2447 between primary and secondary.
2448
2449- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for clients with no client
2450 identifier was sometimes mishashed to the peer. Load balancing during
2451 runtime and pool rebalancing were opposing.
2452
aa3e348e
DH
2453- An assertion in lease counting relating to reserved leases was repaired.
2454
e9c59645
DH
2455- The subnet-mask option inclusion now conforms with RFC2132 section 3.3;
2456 it will only appear prior to the routers option if it is present on the
2457 Parameter-Request-List. The subnet-mask option will also only be
2458 included by default (if it is not on the PRL) in response to DISCOVER
2459 or REQUEST messages.
2460
2461- The FQDN option is only supplied if the client supplied an FQDN option or
2462 if the FQDN option was explicitly requested on the PRL.
2463
c104546d
DH
2464- Dynamic BOOTP leases are now load balanced in failover.
2465
b9d0cc05
DH
2466 Changes since 3.1.0rc1
2467
adb95d23 2468- The parse warning that 'deny dynamic bootp;' must be configured for
b9d0cc05
DH
2469 failover protected subnets was removed.
2470
a512cc3a
DH
2471 Changes since 3.1.0b2
2472
2473- Failover rebalance events no longer play ping pong with round errors
2474 (moving leases between free and back to backup where there are an
2475 odd number of leases).
2476
2477- The 'pool' log line has been split into two messages, one before the
2478 rebalance run, and one after.
2479
2480- Any queued BNDACKs are transmitted before transmitting new BNDUPDs.
2481 This enforces the correct sequence of events for the remote server
2482 processing these messages.
2483
fe5b0fdd 2484 Changes since 3.1.0b1
27837f95 2485
74dc3e0b
EH
2486- Fixed a bug that caused OMAPI clients to freeze when opening lease
2487 objects.
2488
1ba87b37
EH
2489- A new server config option "fqdn-reply" specifies whether the server
2490 should send out option 81 (FQDN). Defaults to "on". If set to "off",
2491 the FQDN option is not sent, even if the client requested it. This is
2492 needed because some clients misbehave otherwise. Thanks to Christof Chen
2493 at Allianz.
2494
a58da042
EH
2495- Allow trace output files (-tf option) to be overwritten, rather than
2496 crashing dhcpd if the file already exists
2497
61252edf
EH
2498- A bug was fixed that caused dhcpd to segfault if a pool was declared
2499 outside the scope of a subnet in dhcpd.conf.
2500
27837f95
DH
2501- Some uninitialized values were repaired in dhcpleasequery.c that
2502 caused the server to abort.
2503
4d2eaafb
DH
2504- A new server config option, 'do-reverse-updates', has been added
2505 which causes the server to abstain from performing updates on PTR
2506 records. Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen at Allianz.
2507
06211b40
DH
2508- A bug was repaired in subencapsulation support, where spaces separated
2509 by empty spaces would not get included.
2510
d6614ea2
DH
2511- A bug in dhclient was repaired which caused it to send parameter request
2512 lists of 55 bytes in length no matter how long the declared PRL was.
2513
132d38f2
DH
2514- 'dhcp.c(3953): non-null pointer' has been repaired. This fixes a flaw
2515 wherein the DHCPv4 server may ignore a configured server-identifier.
2516
fc3b9c90
DH
2517- A flaw in failover startup sequences was repaired that sometimes left
2518 the primary DHCP server's pool rebalance schedules unscheduled.
2519
c9feb859
DH
2520- Corrected a flaw that broke encapsulated spaces included due to presence
2521 on the parameter request list.
2522
c57db45c
SK
2523 Changes since 3.1.0a3
2524
2525- Some spelling fixes.
98311e4b 2526
bd2bc2fa
DH
2527 Changes since 3.1.0a2
2528
2529- A bug was fixed where attempting to permit leasequeries results in a
2530 fatal internal error, "Unable to find server option 49".
2531
85edef5c
DH
2532- A bug was fixed in dhclient rendering the textual output form of the
2533 domain-search option syntax.
2534
bdddcb7d
DH
2535 Changes since 3.1.0a1
2536
2537- A bug in the FQDN universe that added FQDN codes to the NWIP universe's
2538 hash table was repaired.
2539
616d67cb
DH
2540- The servers now try harder to transmit pending binding updates when
2541 entering normal state.
2542
2543- UPDREQ/UPDREQALL handling was optimized - it no longer dequeues and
2544 requeues all pending updates. This should reduce the number of spurious
66c8f734
DH
2545 'xid mismatch' log messages.
2546
2547- An option definition referencing leak was fixed, which resulted in early
2548 termination of dhclient upon the renewal event.
616d67cb 2549
6708d944
DH
2550- Some default hash table sizes were tweaked, some upwards, some downwards.
2551 3.1.0a1's tables resulted in a reduction in default server memory use.
2552 The new selected values provide more of a zero sum (increasing the size
2553 of tables likely to be populated, decreasing the size of tables unlikely).
2554
45d545f0 2555- Lease structures appear in three separate hashes: by IP address, by UID,
6708d944
DH
2556 and by hardware address. One type of table was used for all three, and
2557 improvements to IP address hashing were applied to all three (so UID and
2558 hardware addresses were treated like 4-byte integers). There are now two
2559 types of tables, and the uid/hw hashes use functions more appropriate
2560 to their needs.
2561
2562- The max-lease-misbalance percentage no longer causes scheduled rebalance
2563 runs to be skipped: it still governs the schedule, but every scheduled
2564 run will attempt balance.
2565
a7ee93fe
DH
2566- A segfault bug in recursive encapsulation support has been corrected.
2567
98311e4b
DH
2568 Changes since 3.0 (New Features)
2569
2570- A workaround for certain STSN servers that send a mangled domain-name
2571 option was introduced for dhclient. The client will now accept corrupted
2572 server responses, if they contain a valid DHCP_MESSAGE_TYPE (OFFER, ACK,
2573 or NAK). The server will continue to not accept corrupt client packets.
2574
98bd7ca0 2575- Support for 'reserved' (pseudo-static) and BOOTP leases via failover
a55ccdd0 2576 was introduced.
98311e4b
DH
2577
2578- Support for adding, removing, and managing class and subclass statements
2579 via OMAPI.
2580
a55ccdd0
DH
2581- The failover implementation was updated to comply with revision 12 of
2582 the protocol draft.
2583
98311e4b
DH
2584- 'make install' now creates the initial zero-length dhcpd.leases file if
2585 one does not already exist on the system.
2586
b43c87ad 2587- RFC3942 compliance, site-local option spaces start at 224 now, not 128.
b43c87ad 2588
0b17f049
DH
2589- The Load Balance Algorithm was misimplemented. The current implementation
2590 matches RFC 3074.
2591
2727c1cf
DH
2592- lcase() and ucase() configuration expressions have been added which adjust
2593 their arguments from upper to lower and lower to upper cases respectively.
2714a8ef 2594 Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
2727c1cf 2595
febbd402
DH
2596- The dhclient 'reject ...;' statement, which rejects leases given by named
2597 server-identifiers, now permits address ranges to be specified in CIDR
7d7073e7 2598 notation. Thanks to a patch from David Boyce.
febbd402 2599
ee912528
DH
2600- The subnet-mask option is now supplied by default, but at lowest
2601 priority. This helps a small minority of clients that provide parameter
2602 request lists, but do not list the subnet-mask option because they were
2603 designed to interoperate with a server that behaves in this manner.
2604
2605- The FQDN option is similarly supplied even if it does not appear on the
2606 parameter request list, but not to the exclusion of options that do
2607 appear at the parameter request list. Up until now it had ultimate
2608 priority over the client's parameter request list.
2609
f7fdb216 2610- Varying option space code and length bit widths (8/16/32) are now
51202707 2611 supported. This is a milestone in achieving RFC 3925 "VIVSO" and
f7fdb216
DH
2612 DHCPv6 support.
2613
5e864416
DH
2614- A new common (server or client) option, 'db-time-format local;', has
2615 been added which prints the local time in /var/db/dhcpd.leases rather
2616 than UTC. Thanks to a patch from Ken Lalonde.
2617
b500bd4c
DH
2618- Some patches to improve DHCP Server startup speed from Andrew Matheson
2619 have been incorporated.
2620
2426234f
DH
2621- Failover pairs now implement 'MAC Affinity' on leases moving from the
2622 active to free states. Leases that belonged to the failover secondary
2623 are moved to BACKUP state rather than FREE upon exiting EXPIRED state.
2624 If lease rebalancing must move leases, it tries first to move leases
2625 that belong to the peer in need.
2626
2627- The server no longer sends POOLREQ messages unless the pool is severely
2628 misbalanced in the peer's favor (see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more details).
2629
2630- Pool rebalance events no longer happen upon successfully allocating a
2631 lease. Instead, they happen on a schedule. See 'man dhcpd.conf' for the
2632 min-balance and max-balance statements for more information.
2633
334bf491
DH
2634- The DHCP Relay Agent Information Option / Link Selection Sub-Option
2635 is now supported. (See RFC3527 for details).
2636
3004bebf
DH
2637- A new DDNS related server option, update-conflict-detection, has been
2638 added. If this option is enabled, dhcpd will perform normal DHCID
2639 conflict resolution (the default). If this option is disabled, it will
2640 instead trust the assigned name implicitly (removing any other bindings
2641 on that name). This option has not been made available in dhclient.
2642
567e8561
DH
2643- In those cases where the DHCP software manufactures an IP header (to
2644 transmit via bpf, lpf, etc), the IP TTL the software selects has been
2645 increased from 16 to 128. This is intended to match Microsoft Windows
2646 DHCP Client behaviour, to increase compatibility.
2647
a396d25f
DH
2648- 'ignore client-updates;' now has behaviour that is different from
2649 'deny client-updates;'. The client's request is not truly ignored,
2650 rather it is encouraged. Should this value be configured, the server
2651 updates DNS as though client-updates were set to 'deny'. That is, it
2652 enters into DNS whatever it is configured to do already, provided it is
2653 configured to. Then it sends a response to the client that lets the
2654 client believe it is performing client updates (which it will), probably
2655 for a different name. In essence, this lets the client do as it will,
2656 ignoring this aspect of their request.
2657
dba5803b
DH
2658- Support for compressed 'domain name list' style DHCP option contents, and
2659 in particular the domain search option (#119) was added.
2660
41e45067 2661- The DHCP LEASEQUERY protocol as defined in RFC4388 is now implemented.
6d103865
SK
2662 LEASEQUERY lets you query the DHCP server for information about a lease,
2663 using either an IP address, MAC address, or client identifier. Thanks
2664 to a patch from Justin Haddad.
2665
41e45067
DH
2666- DHCPD is now RFC2131 section 4.1 compliant (broadcast to all-ones ip and
2667 ethernet mac address) on the SCO platform specifically without any strange
2668 ifconfig hacks. Many thanks go to the Kroger Co. for donating the
2669 hardware and funding the development.
6d103865 2670
b543fea9
DH
2671- A new common configuration executable statement, execute(), has been
2672 added. This permits dhcpd or dhclient to execute a named external
2673 program with command line arguments specified from other configuration
2674 language. Thanks to a patch written by Mattias Ronnblom, gotten to us
2675 via Robin Breathe.
2676
b22de500
DH
2677- A new dhcp server option 'adaptive-lease-time-threshold' has been added
2678 which causes the server to substantially reduce lease-times if there are
2679 few (configured percentage) remaining leases. Thanks to a patch submitted
2680 from Christof Chen.
2681
96bbe8c5
SK
2682- Encapsulated option spaces within encapsulated option spaces is now
2683 formally supported.
2684
b8221d95
DH
2685 Changes since 3.0.6rc1
2686
2687- supersede_lease() now requeues leases in their respective hardware
2688 address hash bucket. This mirrors client identifier behaviour.
2689
c1e6c832
DH
2690 Changes since 3.0.5
2691
f546c28b
DH
2692- Assorted fixes for broken network devices: Packet length is now
2693 determined from the IP header length field to finally calculate the
2694 UDP payload length, because some NIC drivers return more data than
5a22eb63 2695 they actually received.
f546c28b
DH
2696
2697- UDP packets are now stored in aligned data structures.
2698
c1e6c832
DH
2699- A logic error in omapi interface code was repaired that might result in
2700 incorrectly indicating 'up' state when any flags were set, rather than
23e10d37
DH
2701 specifically the INTERFACE_REQUESTED flag. Thanks to a patch from
2702 Jochen Voss which got to us via Andrew Pollock at Debian.
c1e6c832 2703
75ab3070
DH
2704- A reference leak on binding scopes set by ddns updates was repaired.
2705
d69fb6a8 2706- A memory leak in the minires_nsendsigned() function call was repaired.
23e10d37 2707 Effectively, this leaked ~176 bytes per DDNS update.
d69fb6a8 2708
02428754
DH
2709- In the case where an "L2" DHCP Relay Agent (one that does not set giaddr)
2710 was directly attached to the same broadcast domain as the DHCP server,
2711 the RFC3046 relay agent information option was not being returned to the
2712 relay in the server's replies. This was fixed; the dhcp server no longer
2713 requires the giaddr to reply with relay agent information. Note that
2714 this also improves compatibility with L2 devices that "intercept" DHCP
2715 packets and expect relay agent information even in unicast (renewal)
23e10d37
DH
2716 replies. Thanks to a patch from Pekka Silvonen.
2717
2718- A bug was fixed where the BOOTP header 'sname' field had a value, the
2719 copy written to persistent storage was actually the contents of the
2720 'file' field.
02428754 2721
ecde99a3
DH
2722- A bug was fixed where the nwip virtual option space was referencing
2723 the fqdn option's virtual option space's option cache.
2724
67674ffb
DH
2725- Timestamp parsing errors that indicated missing "minutes" fields rather
2726 than the actually missing "seconds" fields have been repaired thanks to
2727 a patch from Kevin Steves.
2728
830ebc4c
DH
2729- A grammar error in the dhclient.8 manpage was repaired thanks to a patch
2730 from Chris Wagner.
2731
c759db75
DH
2732- Several spelling typos were repaired, and some cross-references to other
2733 relevant documents were included in the manpages, thanks to a patch
2734 by Andrew Pollock which got to us via Tomas Pospisek.
2735
9aa3f3a5
DH
2736- Some bugs were fixed in the 'emergency relay agent options hologram'
2737 which is used to retain relay agent option contents from when the
2738 client was in INIT or REBIND states. This should solve problems where
2739 relay agent options were not echoed from the server, even when giaddr
2740 was set.
2741
3d0c598a
DH
2742- dhclient now closes its descriptor to dhclient.leases prior to executing
2743 dhclient-script. Thanks to a patch from Tomas Pospisek.
2744
d5b6835f
DH
2745- The server's "by client-id" and "by hardware address" hash table lists
2746 are now sorted according to the preference to re-allocate that lease to
2747 returning clients. This should eliminate pool starvation problems
2748 arising when "INIT" clients were given new leases rather than presently
2749 active ones.
2750
02428754 2751 Changes since 3.0.5rc1
0a73b7b6 2752
901306d5 2753- A bug was repaired in fixes to the dhclient, which sought to run the
0a73b7b6
SK
2754 dhclient-script with the 'EXPIRE' state should it receive a NAK in
2755 response to a REQUEST. The client now iterates the PREINIT state
2756 after the EXPIRE state, so that interfaces that might be configured
2757 'down' can be brought back 'up' and initialized.
2758
87a08ccc
DH
2759- DHCPINFORM handling for clients that properly set ciaddr and come to the
2760 server via a relay aget has been repaired.
2761
6da113fb
DH
2762 Changes since 3.0.4
2763
2764- A warning that host statements declared within subnet or shared-network
2765 scopes are actually global has been added.
2766
2767- The default minimum lease time (if min-lease-time was not specified)
2768 was raised from 0 to 300. 0 is not thought to be sensible, and is
2769 known to be damaging.
2770
2771- Added additional fatal error sanity checks surrounding lease binding
2772 state count calculations (free/active counts used for failover pool
2773 balancing).
2774
dcc557db
DH
2775- Some time value size fixes in 3.0.4 brought on from FreeBSD /usr/ports were
2776 misapplied to server values rather than client values. The server no longer
2777 advertises 8-byte lease-time options when on 64-bit platforms.
2778
1b2ab55f
DH
2779- A bug where leases not in ACTIVE state would get billed to billed classes
2780 (classes with lease limitations) was fixed. Non-active leases OFFERed
2781 to clients are no longer billed (but billing is checked before offering).
2782
e48891e8
DH
2783- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated in regard to the ddns-domainname
2784 configuration option - the default configuration and results should be
2785 more clear now.
2786
6cbc6629
DH
2787- If the dhclient were to receive a DHCPNAK while it was in the RENEW
2788 state (and consequently, had an active, 'bound' address and related
2789 configuration options), it would fail to 'tear down' this information
2790 before proceeding into INIT state. dhclient now iterates the dhclient-
2791 script with the 'EXPIRE' action to cause these teardowns prior to entering
1d3bfb17 2792 INIT state. Thanks to a patch from Chris Zimmerman.
6cbc6629 2793
c5fec5fa

2794- The omapi.1 manpage had some formatting errors repaired thanks to a patch
2795 from Yoshihiko Sarumaru.
2796
33e1cb2b
DH
2797- A few lines of code that were failover-specific were moved within
2798 #if defined() clauses so that compilation without failover could be
2799 made possible.
2800

DH
2801- The log message emitted when the 'leased-address' value was not available
2802 in dhcpd.conf "executable statements" has been updated to be more helpful.
2803 Manpage information for this value has also been updated.
2804
87578987
DH
2805- Abandoned or dissociated (err condition) leases now remove any related
2806 dynamic dns bindings. Thanks to a patch from Patrick Schoo.
2807
e77c575f
DH
2808- Attempting to write a new lease file to replace a corrupt (due to
2809 encountering non-retryable errors during writing) lease file should
2810 no longer result in an infinite recursion.
2811
2178df03
DH
2812- Host declaration hardware addresses and client identifiers may only be
2813 configured once. dhcpd will now fail to load config files that specify
2814 multiple identifiers (previous versions would silently over-ride the
2815 value with the later configured value).

SK
2817- Several option codes that have been allocated since our last release
2818 have been named and documented.
2819
2820- Option names of the form "unknown-123" have been removed from the in-
2821 memory hash tables. In order to support options of these names that
2822 may appear in dhclient.leases or similar in previous versions, the
2823 parser will now find the new option code definition, or mock up a
2824 generic option code definition. This should result in a smooth
2825 transition from one name to the other, as the new name is used to
2826 write new output.

2828 Changes since 3.0.4rc1
2829
2830- The dhcp-options.5 manpage was updated to correct indentation errors
2831 thanks to a patch from Jean Delvare.
2832
2833 Changes since 3.0.4b3
2834
2835- Some manual pages were clarified pursuant to discussion on the dhcp-server
2836 mailing list.
2837
88cd8aca
DH
2838 Changes since 3.0.4b2
2839
45d545f0 2840- Null-termination sensing for certain clients that unfortunately require
88cd8aca
DH
2841 it in DHCPINFORM processing was repaired.
2842
2843- The host-name option and a few others were moved from "X" format to "t"
2844 format to be compatible with new NULL handling functions.
2845
2846- DHCPINFORM processing is a little more careful about return addressing
2847 its responses, or if responding via a relay. The INFORM related
2848 messages also log the 'effective client ip address' rather than the
2849 client's supplied ciaddr (since some clients produce null ciaddrs).
2850
2851- The server was inappropriately sending leases to the RESET state in the
2852 event that multiple active leases were found to match a singly-identified
2853 client. This was changed to RELEASED (by accepting a different, ACTIVE
2854 binding, the client is implicitly releasing its lease). This repairs a
2855 bug wherein secondary servers in failover pairs detecting this condition
2856 move leases to RESET, and primaries refuse to accept that state
2857 transition (properly).
2858
2859- The memset-after-dmalloc() changes made in 3.0.4b1 have been backed out.
2860
2861 Changes since 3.0.4b1
2862
2863- Command line parsing in omshell was repaired - it no longer closes
2864 STDIN after reading one line.
2865
2866- The resolver library no longer closes the /etc/resolv.conf file
2867 descriptor it opened twice.
2868
2869- Changes to trailing NULL removal in 't' option-atoms has been rethought,
2870 it now includes 'd' (domain name) types, and tries hard not to rewind an
2871 option beyond the start of the text field it is un-terminating.
2872
2873 Changes since 3.0.3
2874
2875- A DDNS update handling function was misusing the DNS error codes, rather
2876 than the internal generic result enumeration. The result is a confusing
2877 syslog line, logging the wrong condition.
2878
2879- The DHCP Server was not checking pool balance in the case where it brought
2880 a non-ACTIVE lease out of storage for a client that was returning to use
2881 a lease it once had long ago, and had since expired.
2882
2883- Failover peers no longer bother to look for free leases to allocate when
2884 they already found the client's ACTIVE lease. DISCOVERs are load balanced
98bd7ca0 2885 whether freely-allocated or not, unless the server doubts the peer has
88cd8aca
DH
2886 leases to allocate.
2887
2888- Fixed a bug in dhcrelay agent addition code that suppressed trailing
45d545f0 2889 PAD options - it was suppressing only one trailing PAD option, rather
88cd8aca
DH
2890 than the entire block of them.
2891
3a16098f
DH
2892! Fixed some unlikely overlapping-region memcpy() bugs in dhcrelay agent
2893 option addition and stripping code. Added a few sanity checks. Although
2894 highly improbable, due to requiring the reception of a DHCP datagram well
2895 in excess of all known to be used physical MTU limitations, it is possible
2896 this may have been used in a stack overflow security vulnerability. Thanks
2897 to a patch from infamous42md.
2898
2899! Added some sanity checks to OMAPI connection/authentication code.
2900 Although highly improbable, due to having to deliver in excess of 2^32
2901 bytes of data via the OMAPI channel, not to mention requiring dhcpd to
2902 be able to malloc() a memory region 2^32 bytes in size, it was possible
2903 this might have resulted in a heap overflow security vulnerability.
2904 Thanks to a patch from infamous42md.
88cd8aca
DH
2905
2906- dmalloc() memset()'s the non-debug (data) portion of the allocated
2907 memory to zero. Code that memset()'s the result returned by dmalloc() to
2908 zero is redundant. These redundancies were removed.
2909
2910- Some type declaration corrections to u_int16_t were made in common/tr.c
4b97eaff 2911 (Token Ring support) thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
88cd8aca
DH
2912
2913- A failover bug that was allowing leases that EXPIRED or were RELEASED
2914 where tsfp and tstp are identical timestamps to languish in these
2915 transitional states has been repaired. As a side effect, lease
2916 databases should be kept more consistent overall, not just for these
2917 transitional states.
2918
2919- If the lease db is deleted out from under the daemon, and it moves to rewrite
2920 the db, it will go ahead with the operation and move the new db into place
2921 once it detects the old db does not exist.
2922
2923- dhclient now ignores IRDA, SIT, and IEEE1394 network interfaces, as it
2924 is either nonsensical or (in the case of IEEE1394) is not known to support
2925 these interfaces. Thanks to Marius Gedminas and Andrew Pollock of Debian.
2926
2927- Some previously undocumented reasons for dhclient-script invoking has
45d545f0 2928 been documented in the dhclient-script.8 manpage.
88cd8aca
DH
2929
2930- Failover potential expiry calculations (TSTP) have been corrected. Results
2931 should be substantially more consistent, and proper given the constraints.
2932
2933- Adjusted lease state validation checks in potential-conflict, to
2934 account for possible clock skew similarly to normal state, and several
2935 previously illegal transitions were made legal (ex: active->released).
2936
2937- An impossible sanity check was removed from omapi/buffer.c, thanks to a
2938 patch from 'infamous42md'.
2939
2940- An OMAPI host/network byte order problem in lease time values has been
2941 repaired.
2942
2943- Several minor bugs, largely relating to treating 8-byte time values as
2944 4-byte entities, have been repaired after careful review of the FreeBSD
2945 ports collection's patch set. Thanks to the nameless entities who have
2946 contributed to the FreeBSD ports.
2947
2948- When writing a trace file, the file is now created with permissions 0600,
2949 to help administrators avoid accidentally publicising sensitive config
2950 data.
2951
2952- The calculation of the maximum size of DHCP packets no longer includes
2953 Ethernet framing overhead. The result is that the 'Maximum Message
2954 Size' option advertised by clients, or the default value 576, is no
2955 longer reduced by 14 bytes, and instead directly reflects the IP level
2956 MTU (and the default, minimum allowed IP MTU of 576).
2957
2958- The special status of RELEASED/EXPIRED/RESET leases when a server
2959 is operating in partner-down was fixed. It no longer requires a
2960 lease be twice the MCLT beyond STOS to 'reallocate', and the expiry
2961 event to turn these into FREE leases without peer acknowledgement
2962 (after STOS+MCLT) has been repaired.
2963
2964- Compilation on older Solaris systems (lacking /usr/include/sys/int_types.h)
2965 has been repaired.
2966
2967- "append"ing a string onto the end of a "t" type option (such as the
2968 domain-name field) that had been improperly NULL-terminated by the
2969 DHCP server will no longer result in a truncated string containing
2970 only the option from the server, and not the expected appended value.
4b97eaff 2971 Thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
88cd8aca
DH
2972
2973- File handlers on configuration state (config files and lease dbs) should
98bd7ca0 2974 be treated consistently, regardless of whether TRACING is defined or not.
88cd8aca 2975
45d545f0 2976- The Linux build environment has had some minor improvements - better
88cd8aca
DH
2977 sensing of 64-bit pointer sizes (only used for establishing an icmp_id),
2978 and corrections to #if operators regarding LINUX_MAJOR should it ever
2979 move to 3.[01].x.
2980
2981- The server now tries harder to survive the condition where it is unable
2982 to open a new lease file to rewrite the lease state database.
2983

DH
2984 Changes since 3.0.3b3
2985
2986- dhclient.conf documentation for interface {} was updated to reflect recent
2987 discussion on the dhcp-hackers mailing list.
2988
2989- In response to reports that the software does not compile on GCC 4.0.0,
2990 -Werror was removed from Makefile.conf for all platforms that used it.
2991 We will address the true problem in a future release; this is a temporary
2992 workaround.
2993
2994 Changes since 3.0.3b2
2995
2996- An error in code changes introduced in 3.0.3b2 was corrected, which caused
2997 static BOOTP clients to receive random addresses.
2998
2999 Changes since 3.0.3b1
3000
3001- A bug was fixed in BOOTPREQUEST handling code wherein stale references to
3002 host records would be left behind on leases that were not allocated to the
3003 client currently booting (eg in the case where the host was denied booting).
3004
3005- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated to be more clear in regards to
3006 multiple host declarations (thanks to Vincent McIntyre). 'Interim' style
3007 dynamic updates were also retouched.
3008
98311e4b
DH
3009 Changes since 3.0.2
3010
3011- A bug was fixed where a server might load balance a DHCP REQUEST to its
45d545f0 3012 peer after already choosing not to load balance the preceding DISCOVER.
98311e4b
DH
3013 The peer cannot allocate the originating server's lease.
3014
3015- In the case where a secondary server lost its stable storage while the
3016 primary was still in communications-interrupted, and came back online,
3017 the lease databases would not be fully transferred to the secondary.
3018 This was due to the secondary errantly sending an extra UPDREQ message
3019 when the primary made its state transition to PARTNER-DOWN known.
3020
3021- The package will now compile cleanly in gcc 3.3 and 3.4. As a side effect,
3022 lease structures will be 9 bytes smaller on all platforms. Thanks to
4b97eaff 3023 Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3024
3025- Interface discovery code in DISCOVER_UNCONFIGURED mode is now
3026 properly restricted to only detecting broadcast interfaces. Thanks
4b97eaff 3027 to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3028
3029- decode_udp_ip_header was changed so that the IP address was copied out
3030 to a variable, rather than referenced by a pointer. This enforces 4-byte
3031 alignment of the 32-bit IP address value. Thanks to a patch from Dr.
3032 Peter Poeml.
3033
3034- An incorrect log message was corrected thanks to a patch from
3035 Dr. Peter Poeml.
3036
3037- A bug in DDNS was repaired, where if the server's first DDNS action was
3038 a DDNS removal rather than a DDNS update, the resolver library's
3039 retransmit timer and retry timer was set to the default, implying a
3040 15 second timeout interval. Which is a little excessive in a synchronous,
3041 single-threaded system. In all cases, ISC DHCP should now hold fast to
3042 a 1-second timeout, trying only once.
3043
3044- The siaddr field was being improperly set to the server-identifier when
3045 responding to DHCP messages. RFC2131 clarified the siaddr field as
3046 meaning the 'next server in the bootstrap process', eg a tftp server.
3047 The siaddr field is now left zeroed unless next-server is configured.
3048
3049- mockup_lease() could have returned in an error condition (or in the
3050 condition where no fixed-address was found matching the shared
3051 network) with stale references to a host record. This is probably not
3052 a memory leak since host records generally never die anyway.
3053
3054- A bug was repaired where failover servers would let stale client identifiers
3055 persist on leases that were reallocated to new clients not sending an id.
3056
3057- Binding scopes ("set var = value;") are now removed from leases allocated
3058 by failover peers if the lease had expired. This should help reduce the
3059 number of stale binding scopes on leases.
3060
3061- A small memory leak was closed involving client identifiers larger than
3062 7 bytes, and failover.
3063
3064- Configuring a subnet in dhcpd.conf with a subnet mask of 32 bits might
3065 cause an internal function to overflow heap. Thanks to Jason Vas Dias
4b97eaff 3066 at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3067
3068- Some inconsistencies in treating numbers that the lexer parsed as 'NUMBER'
3069 or 'NUMBER_OR_NAME' was repaired. Hexadecimal parsing is affected, and
3070 should work better.
3071
3072- In several cases, parse warnings were being issued before the lexical
3073 token had been advanced to the token whose value was causing an error...
3074 causing parse warnings to claim the problem is on the wrong token.
3075
3076- Host declarations matching on client identifier for dynamic leases will
3077 no longer match fixed-address host declarations (this is now identical
3078 to behaviour for host records matching on hardware address).
3079
3080 Changes since 3.0.2rc3
3081
3082- A previously undocumented configuration directive, 'local-address',
3083 was documented in the dhcpd.conf manpage.
3084
3085 Changes since 3.0.2rc2
3086
45d545f0 3087- Two variables introduced in 3.0.2b1 were used without being initialized
98311e4b
DH
3088 in the case where neither the FILE nor SNAME fields were available for
3089 overloading. This was repaired.
3090
3091- A heretofore believed to be impossible corner case of the option
3092 overloading implementation turned out to be possible ("Unable to sort
3093 overloaded options after 10 tries."). The implementation was reworked
3094 to consider the case of an option so large it would require more than
3095 three chunks to fit.
3096
3097- Many other instances of variables being used without being initialized
3098 were repaired.
3099
3100- An uninitialized variable in omapi_io_destroy() led to the discovery
3101 that this function may result in orphaned pointers (and hence, a memory
3102 leak).
3103
3104 Changes since 3.0.2rc1
3105
3106- allocate_lease() was rewritten to repair a bug in which the server would
3107 try to allocate an ABANDONED lease when FREE leases were available.
3108
3109 Changes since 3.0.2b1
3110
3111- Some dhcp-eval.5 manpage formatting was repaired.
3112
3113 Changes since 3.0.1
3114
3115- A bug was fixed in the server's 'option overloading' implementation,
3116 where options loaded into the 'file' and 'sname' packet fields were
3117 not aligned precisely as rfc2131 dictates.
3118
3119- The FreeBSD client script was changed to support the case where a domain
3120 name was not provided by the server.
3121
3122- A memory leak in 'omshell' per each command line parsed was
3123 repaired, thanks to a patch from Jarkko Torppa.
3124
3125- Log functions writing to stderr were adjusted to use the STDERR_FILENO
3126 system definition rather than '2'. This is a no-op for 90% of platforms.
3127
3128- One call to trace_write_packet_iov() counted the number of io vectors
3129 incorrectly, causing inconsistent tracefiles. This was fixed.
3130
3131- Some expression parse failure memory leaks were closed.
3132
3133- A host byte order problem in tracefiles was repaired.
3134
3135- Pools configured in DHCPD for failover possessing permission lists that
adb95d23 3136 previously were assumed to not include dynamic bootp clients are now
98311e4b
DH
3137 a little more pessimistic. The result is, dhcpd will nag you about just
3138 about most pools that possess a 'allow' statement with no 'deny' that
3139 would definitely match a dynamic bootp client.
3140
3141- The 'ddns-update-style' configuration warning bit now insists that
3142 the configuration be globally scoped.
3143
3144- Two memory leaks in dhclient were closed thanks to a patch from Felix
3145 Farkas.
3146
3147- Some minor but excellently pedantic documentation errors were fixed
3148 thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
3149
3150- Bugs in operator precedence in executable statements have been repaired
3151 once again. More legal syntaxes should be parsed legally.
3152
3153- Failing to initialize a tracefile for any reason if a tracefile was
3154 specified is now a fatal error. Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
3155
3156- Corrected a bug in which the number of leases transferred as calculated
3157 by the failover primary and sent to peers in POOLRESP responses may be
3158 incorrect. This value is not believed to be used by other failover
3159 implementations, excepting perhaps as logged information.
3160
3161- Corrected a bug in which 'dhcp_failover_send_poolresp()' was in fact
3162 sending POOLREQ messages instead of POOLRESP mesasges. This message
3163 was essentially ignored since failover secondaries effectively do not
3164 respond to POOLREQ messages.
3165
3166- Type definitions for various bitwidths of integers in the sunos5-5
3167 build of ISC DHCP have been fixed. It should compile and run more
3168 easily when built in 64-bit for this platform.
3169
3170- "allow known-clients;" is now a legal syntax, to avoid confusion.
3171
3172- If one dhcp server chooses to 'load balance' a request to its failover
3173 peer, it first checks to see if it believes said peer has a free
3174 lease to allocate before ignoring the DISCOVER.
3175
3176- log() was logging a work buffer, rather than the value returned by
3177 executing the statements configured by the user. In some cases,
3178 the work buffer and the intended results were the same. In some other
3179 cases, they were not. This was fixed thanks to a patch from Gunnar
3180 Fjone and directconnect.no.
3181
3182- Compiler warnings for some string type conversions was fixed, thanks
3183 to Andreas Gustafsson.
3184
3185- The netbsd build environments were simplified to one, in which
3186 -Wconversion is not used, thanks to Andreas Gustafsson.
3187
3188- How randomness in the backoff-cutoff dhclient configuration variable
3189 is implemented was better documented in the manpage, and the behaviour
3190 of dhclient in REQUEST timeout handling was changed to match that of
3191 DISCOVER timeout handling.
3192
3193- Omapi was hardened against clients that pass in null values, thanks
3194 to a patch from Mark Jason Dominus.
3195
3196- A bug was fixed in dhclient that kept it from doing client-side
3197 ddns updates. Thanks to a patch from Andreas Gustafsson, which
3198 underwent some modification after review by Jason Vas Dias.
3199
3200- Failover implementations disconnected due to the network between
3201 them (rather than one of the two shutting down) will now try to
3202 re-establish the failover connection every 5 seconds, rather than
3203 to simply try once and give up until one of them is restarted.
3204 Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from Infoblox, and field testing
3205 by Greger V. Teigre which led to an enhancement to it.
3206
3207- A problem that kept DHCP Failover secondaries from tearing down
3208 ddns records was repaired. Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from
3209 Infoblox.
3210
3211- 64bit pointer sizes are detected properly on FreeBSD now.
3212
3213- A bug was repaired where the DHCP server would leave stale references
3214 to host records on leases it once thought about offering to certain
3215 clients. The result would be to apply host and 'known' scopes to the
3216 wrong clients (possibly denying booting). NOTE: The 'mis-host' patch
3217 that was being circulated as a workaround is not the way this bug was
3218 fixed. If you were a victim of this bug in 3.0.1, you are cautioned
3219 to proceed carefully and see if it fixes your problem.
3220
3221- A bug was repaired in the server's DHCPINFORM handling, where it
3222 tried to divine the client's address from the source packet and
3223 would get it wrong. Thanks to Anshuman Singh Rawat.
3224
3225- A log message was introduced to help illuminate the case where the
3226 server was unable to find a lease to assign to any BOOTP client.
3227 Thanks to Daniel Baker.
3228
3229- A minor dhcpd.conf.5 manpage error was fixed.
3230
3231 Changes since 3.0.1rc14
3232
3233- The global variable 'cur_time' was centralized and is now uniformly of a
3234 type #defined in system-dependent headers. It had previously been defined
3235 in one of many places as a 32-bit value, and this causes mayhem on 64-bit
3236 big endian systems. It probably wasn't too healthy on little endian
3237 systems either.
3238
3239- A printf format string error introduced in rc14 was repaired.
3240
3241- AIX system-dependent header file was altered to only define NO_SNPRINTF
3242 if the condition used to #ifdef in vsnprintf in AIX' header files
3243 is false.
3244
3245- The Alpha/OSF system-dependent header file was altered to define
3246 NO_SNPRINTF on OS revisions older than 4.0G.
3247
3248- omapip/test.c had string.h added to its includes.
3249
3250 Changes since 3.0.1rc13
3251
3252! CAN-2004-0460 - CERT VU#317350: Five stack overflow exploits were closed
3253 in logging messages with excessively long hostnames provided by the
3254 clients. It is highly probable that these could have been used by
3255 attackers to gain arbitrary root access on systems using ISC DHCP 3.0.1
3256 release candidates 12 or 13. Special thanks to Gregory Duchemin for
3257 both finding and solving the problem.

3259! CAN-2004-0461 - CERT VU#654390: Once the above was closed, an opening
45d545f0 3260 in log_*() functions was evidenced, on some specific platforms where
98311e4b
DH
3261 vsnprintf() was not believed to be available and calls were wrapped to
3262 sprintf() instead. Again, credit goes to Gregory Duchemin for finding
3263 the problem. Calls to snprintf() are now linked to a distribution-local
3264 snprintf implementation, only in those cases where the architecture is
3265 not known to provide one (see includes/cf/[arch].h). If you experience
3266 linking problems with snprintf/vsnprintf or 'isc_print_' functions, this
3267 is where to look. This vulnerability did not exist in any previously
3268 published version of ISC DHCP.
3269
3270- Compilation on hpux 11.11 was repaired.
3271
3272- 'The cross-compile bug fix' was backed out.
3273
3274 Changes since 3.0.1rc12
3275
3276- Fixed a bug in omapi lease lookup function, to form the hardware
3277 address for the hash lookup correctly, thanks to a patch from
3278 Richard Hirst.
3279
3280- Fixed a bug where dhcrelay was sending relayed responses back to the
3281 broadcast address, but with the source's unicast mac address. Should
3282 now conform to rfc2131 section 4.1.
3283
3284- Cross-compile bug fix; use $(AR) instead of ar. Thanks to Morten Brorup.
3285
3286- Fixed a crash bug in dhclient where dhcpd servers that do not provide
3287 renewal times results in an FPE. As a side effect, dhclient can now
3288 properly handle 0xFFFFFFFF (-1) expiry times supplied by servers. Thanks
3289 to a patch from Burt Silverman.
3290
3291- The 'ping timeout' debugs from rc12 were removed to -DDEBUG only,
45d545f0 3292 and reformatted to correct a compilation error on Solaris platforms.
98311e4b
DH
3293
3294- A patch was applied which fixes a case where leases read from the
3295 leases database do not properly over-ride previously read leases.
3296
3297- dhcpctl.3 manpage was tweaked.
3298
3299 Changes since 3.0.1rc11
3300
3301- A patch from Steve Campbell was applied with minor modifications to
3302 permit reverse dns PTR record updates with values containing spaces.
3303
3304- A patch from Florian Lohoff was applied with some modifications to
3305 dhcrelay. It now discards packets whose hop count exceeds 10 by default,
3306 and a command-line option (-c) can be used to set this threshold.
3307
3308- A failover bug relating to identifying peers by name length instead of
3309 by name was fixed.
3310
45d545f0 3311- Declaring failover configs within shared-network statements should no
98311e4b
DH
3312 longer result in error.
3313
3314- The -nw command line option to dhclient now works.
3315
3316- Thanks to a patch from Michael Richardson:
3317 - Some problems with long option processing have been fixed.
3318 - Some fixes to minires so that updates of KEY records will work.
3319
3320- contrib/ms2isc was updated by Shu-Min Chang of the Intel Corporation.
3321 see contrib/ms2isc/readme.txt for revision notes.
3322
3323- Dhclient no longer uses shell commands to kill another instance of
3324 itself, it sends the signal directly. Thanks to a patch from Martin
3325 Blapp.
3326
3327- The FreeBSD dhclient-script was changed so that a failure to write to
3328 /etc/resolv.conf does not prematurely end the script. This keeps dhclient
3329 from looping infinitely when this is the case. Thanks to a patch from
3330 Martin Blapp.
3331
3332- A patch from Bill Stephens was applied which resolves a problem with lease
3333 expiry times in failover configurations.
3334
3335- A memory leak in configuration parsing was closed thanks to a patch from
3336 Steve G.
3337
3338- The function which discovers interfaces will now skip non-broadcast or
3339 point-to-point interfaces, thanks to a patch from David Brownlee.
3340
3341- Options not yet known by the dhcpd or dhclient have had their names
3342 changed such that they do not contain # symbols, in case they should ever
3343 appear in a lease file. An option that might have been named "#144" is
3344 now "unknown-144".
3345
3346- Another patch from Bill Stephens which allows the ping-check timeout to
3347 be configured as 'ping-timeout'. Defaults to 1.
3348
3349 Changes since 3.0.1rc10
3350
3351- Potential buffer overflows in minires repaired.
3352
3353- A change to the linux client script to use /bin/bash, since /bin/sh may
3354 not be bash.
3355
3356- Some missing va_end cleanups thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
3357
3358- A correction of boolean parsing syntax validation - some illegal syntaxes
3359 that worked before are now detected and produce errs, some legal syntaxes
3360 that errored before will now work properly.
3361
3362- Some search-and-replace errors that caused some options to change their
3363 names was repaired.
3364
3365- Shu-min Chang of the Intel corporation has contributed a perl script and
3366 module that converts the MS NT4 DHCP configuration to a ISC DHCP3
3367 configuration file.
3368
3369- Applied the remainder of the dhcpctl memory leak patch provided by Bill
3370 Squier at ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
3371
3372- Missing non-optional failover peer configurations will now result in a soft
3373 error rather than a null dereference.
3374
3375 Changes since 3.0.1rc9
3376
3377- A format string was corrected to fix compiler warnings.
3378
3379- A number of spelling corrections were made in the man pages.
3380
3381- The dhclient.conf.5 man page was changed to refer to do-forward-updates
3382 rather than a configuration option that doesn't exist.
3383
3384- A FreeBSD-specific bug in the interface removal handling was fixed.
3385
3386- A Linux-specific Token Ring detection problem was fixed.
3387
3388- Hashes removed from as-yet-unknown agent options, having those options
3389 appear in reality before we know about them will no longer produce
3390 self-corrupting lease databases.
3391
3392- dhclient will use the proper port numbers now when using the -g option.
3393
3394- A order-of-operations bug with 2 match clauses in 1 class statement is
3395 fixed thanks to a patch from Andrew Matheson.
3396
3397- Compilation problems on Solaris were fixed.
3398
3399- Compilation problems when built with DEBUG or DEBUG_PACKET were repaired.
3400
3401- A fix to the dhcp ack process which makes certain group options will be
3402 included in the first DHCPOFFER message was made thanks to a patch from
3403 Ling Gou.
3404
3405- A few memory leaks were repaired thanks to patches from Bill Squier at
3406 ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
3407
3408- A fix for shared-networks that sometimes give clients options for the
3409 wrong subnets (in particular, 'option routers') was applied, thanks to
3410 Ted Lemon for the patch.
3411
3412- Omshell's handling of dotted octets as values was changed such that dots
3413 one after the other produce zero values in the integer string.
3414
3415 Changes since 3.0.1rc8
3416
3417- Fix a format string vulnerability in the server that could lead to a
3418 remote root compromise (discovered by NGSEC Research Team, www.ngsec.com).
3419
3420- Add additional support for NetBSD/sparc64.
3421
3422- Fix a bug in the command-line parsing of the client. Also, resolve
3423 a memory leak.
3424
3425- Add better support for shells other than bash in the Linux client
3426 script.
3427
3428- Various build fixes for modern versions of FreeBSD and Linux.
3429
3430- Fix a bad bounds check when printing binding state names.
3431
3432- Clarify documentation about fixed-address and multiple addresses.
3433
3434- Fix a typo in the authoritative error message.
3435
3436- Make a log entry when we can't write a billing class.
3437
3438- Use conversion targets that are the right size on all architectures.
3439
3440- Increment the hop count when relaying.
3441
3442- Log a message when lease state is changed through OMAPI.
3443
3444- Don't rerun the shared_network when evaluating the pool.
3445
3446- Fix a reversed test in the parser.
3447
3448- Change the type of rbuf_max.
3449
3450- Make FTS_LAST a manifest constant to quiet warnings.
3451
3452 Changes since 3.0.1rc7
3453
3454- Fix two compiler warnings that are generated when compiling on Solaris
3455 with gcc. These stop the build, even though they weren't actually
3456 errors, because we prefer that our builds generate no warnings.
3457
3458 Changes since 3.0.1rc6
3459
3460- Don't allow a lease that's in the EXPIRED, RELEASED or RESET state
3461 to be renewed.
3462
3463- Implement lease stealing for cases where the primary has fewer leases
3464 than the secondary, as called for by the standard.
3465
3466- Add a fudge factor to the lease expiry acceptance code, (suggested
3467 by Kevin Miller of CMU).
3468
3469- Fix a bug in permit_list_match that made it much too willing to say
3470 that two permit lists matched.
3471
3472- Unless DEBUG_DNS_UPDATES is defined, print more user-friendly (and
3473 also more compact) messages about DNS updates.
3474
3475- Fix a bug in generating wire-format domain names for the FQDN option.
3476
3477- Fix a bug where the FQDN option would not be returned if the client
3478 requested it, contrary to the standard.
3479
3480- On Darwin, use the FreeBSD DHCP client script.
3481
3482- On NetBSD/sparc, don't check for casting warnings.
3483
3484- Add a flag in the DHCP client to disable updating the client's A
3485 record when sending an FQDN option indicating that the client is
3486 going to update its A record.
3487
3488- In the client, don't attempt a DNS update until one second after
3489 configuring the new IP address, and if the update times out, keep
3490 trying until a response, positive or negative, is received from the
3491 DNS server.
3492
3493- Fix an uninitialized memory bug in the DHCP client.
3494
3495- Apply some FreeBSD-specific bug fixes suggested by Murray Stokely.
3496
3497- Fix a bug in ns_parserr(), where it was returning the wrong sort
3498 of result code in some cases (suggested by Ben Harris of the
3499 NetBSD project).
3500
3501- Fix a bug in is_identifier(), where it was checking against EOF
3502 instead of the END_OF_FILE token (also suggested by Ben Harris).
3503
3504- Fix a bug where if an option universe contained no options, the
3505 DHCP server could dump core (Walter Steiner).
3506
3507- Fix a bug in the handling of encapsulated options.
3508
3509- Fix a bug that prevented NWIP suboptions from being processed.
3510
3511- Delete the FTS_BOOTP and FTS_RESERVED states and implement them
3512 as modifier flags to the FTS_ACTIVE state, as called for in the
3513 failover protocol standard.
3514
3515- Fix bugs in the pool merging code that resulted in references and
3516 dereferences of null pointers. This bug had no impact unless the
3517 POINTER_DEBUG flag was defined.
3518
3519- In the server, added a do-forward-updates flag that can be used to
3520 disable forward updates in all cases, so that sites that want the
3521 clients to take sole responsibility for updating their A record can
3522 do so.
3523
3524- Make it possible to disable optimization of PTR record updates.
3525
3526 Changes since 3.0.1rc5
3527
3528- Include some new documentation and changes provided by Karl Auer.
3529
3530- Add a workaround for some Lexmark printers that send a double-NUL-
3531 terminated host-name option, which would break DNS updates.
3532
3533- Fix an off-by-one error in the MAC-address checking code for
3534 DHCPRELEASE that was added in 3.0.1rc5.
3535
3536- Fix a bug where client-specific information was not being discarded
3537 from the lease when it expired or was released, resulting in
3538 problems if the lease was reallocated to a different client.
3539
3540- If more than one allocation pool is specified that has the same set
3541 of constraints as another allocation pool on the same shared
3542 network, merge the two pools.
3543
3544- Don't print an error in fallback_discard, since this just causes
3545 confusion and does not appear to be helping to encourage anyone to
3546 fix this bug.
3547
3548 Changes since 3.0.1rc4
3549
3550- Fix a bug that would cause the DHCP server to spin if asked to parse
3551 a certain kind of incorrect statement.
3552
3553- Fix a related bug that would prevent an error from being reported in
3554 the same case.
3555
3556- Additional documentation.
3557
3558- Make sure that the hardware address matches the lease when
3559 processing a DHCPRELEASE message.
3560
3561 Changes since 3.0.1rc3
3562
3563- A minor bug fix in the arguments to a logging function call.
3564- Documentation update for dhcpd.conf.
3565
adbef119 3566 Changes since 3.0.1rc2
98311e4b
DH
3567
3568- Allow the primary to send a POOLREQ message. This isn't what the current
3569 failover draft says to do, so we may have to back it out if I can't get the
3570 authors to relent, but the scheme for balancing that's specified in the
3571 current draft seems needlessly hairy, so I'm floating a trial balloon.
3572 The rc1 code did not implement the method described in the draft either.
3573
adbef119 3574 Changes since 3.0.1rc1
98311e4b
DH
3575
3576- Treat NXDOMAIN and NXRRSET as success when we are trying to delete a
3577 domain or RRSET. This allows the DHCP server to forget about a name
3578 it added to the DNS once it's been removed, even if the DHCP server
3579 wasn't the one that removed it.
3580
3581- Install defaults for failover maximum outstanding updates and maximum
3582 silent time. This prevents problems that might occur if these values
3583 were not configured.
3584
3585- Don't do DDNS deletes if ddns-update-style is none.
3586
3587- Return relay agent information options in DHCPNAK. This prevents DHCPNAK
3588 messages from being dropped when the relay agent information option contains
3589 routing information.
3590
3591- Fix a problem where coming up in recover wouldn't result in an update
3592 request being sent.
3593
3594- Add some more chatty messages when we start a recovery update and when it's
3595 done.
3596
3597- Fix a possible problem where some state might have been left around
3598 after the peer lost contact and regained contact about how many updates
3599 were pending.
3600
3601- Don't nix a lease update because of a lease conflict. This test has
3602 never (as far as I know) prevented a mistake, and it appears to cause
3603 problems with failover.
3604
3605- Add support in rc history code for keeping a selective history, rather
3606 than a history of all references and dereferences. This code is only used
3607 when extensive additional debugging is enabled.
3608
adbef119 3609 Changes since 3.0
98311e4b
DH
3610
3611- Make allocators for hash tables. As a side effect, this fixes a memory
3612 smash in the subclass allocation code.
3613
3614- Fix a small bug in omshell where if you try to close an object when
3615 no object is open, it dumps core.
3616
3617- Fix an obscure coredump that could occur on shutdown.
3618
3619- Fix a bug in the recording of host declaration rubouts in the lease file.
3620
3621- Fix two potential spins in the host deletion code.
3622
3623- Fix a core dump that would happen if an application tried to update
3624 a host object attribute with a null value.
3625
3626 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 12
3627
3628- Fix a memory leak in the evaluation code.
3629
3630- Fix an obscure core dump.
3631
3632- Print a couple of new warnings when parsing the configuration file
3633 when crucial information is left out.
3634
3635- Log "no free leases" as an error.
3636
3637- Documentation updates.
3638
3639 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 11
3640
3641- Always return a subnet selection option if one is sent.
3642
3643- Fix a warning that was being printed because an automatic data
3644 structure wasn't zeroed.
3645
3646- Fix some failover state transitions that were being handled
3647 incorrectly.
3648
3649- When supersede_lease is called on a lease whose end time has already
3650 expired, but for which a state transition has not yet been done, do
3651 a state transition. This fixes the case where if the secondary
3652 allocated a lease to a client and the lease "expired" while the
3653 secondary was in partner-down, no expiry event would actually
3654 happen, so the lease would remain active until the primary was
3655 restarted.
3656
3657 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 10
3658
3659- Fix a bug that was preventing released leases from changing state
3660 in failover-enabled pools.
3661
3662- Fix a core dump in the client identifier finder code (for host
3663 declarations).
3664
3665- Finish fixing a bug where bogus data would sometimes get logged to
3666 the dhclient.leases file because it was opened as descriptor 2.
3667
3668- Fix the Linux dhclient-script according to suggestions made by
3669 several people on the dhcp-client mailing list.
3670
3671- Log successful DNS updates at LOG_INFO, not LOG_ERROR.
3672
3673- Print an error message and refuse to run if a failover peer is
3674 defined but not referenced by any pools.
3675
3676- Correct a confusing error message in failover.
3677
eaf0b302
TL
3678 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 9

0db87765
TL
3682 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8 Patchlevel 2
3683
3684- Fix a bug that prevented update-static-leases from working.
3685
3686- Document failover-state OMAPI object.
3687
3688- Fix a compilation error on SunOS 4.
3689
d758ad8c
TL
3690 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8 Patchlevel 1
3691
3692- Fix a parsing bug that broke dns updates (both interim and ad-hoc).
3693 This was introduced in rc8pl1 as an unintended result of the memory
3694 leakage fixes that were in pl1.
3695
3696- Fix a long-standing bug where the server would record that an update
3697 had been done for a client with no name, even though no update had
3698 been done, and then when the client's lease expired the deletion of
3699 that nonexistant record would time out because the name was the null
9a111ee8 3700 string.
d758ad8c
TL
3701
3702- Clean up the omshell, dhcpctl and omapi man pages a bit.
3703
d758ad8c
TL
3704 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8
3705
3706- Fix a bug that could cause the DHCP server to spin if
3707 one-lease-per-client was enabled.
3708
3709- Fix a bug that was causing core dumps on BSD/os in the presence of
3710 malformed packets.
3711
3712- In partner-down state, don't restrict lease lengths to MCLT.
3713
3714- On the failover secondary, record the MCLT received from the primary
3715 so that if we come up without a connection to the primary we don't
3716 wind up giving out zero-length leases.
3717
3718- Fix some compilation problems on BSD/os.
3719
3720- Fix a bunch of memory leaks.
3721
3722- Fix a couple of bugs in the option printer.
3723
3724- Fix an obscure error reporting bug in the dns update code, and also
3725 make the message clearer when a key algorithm isn't supported.
3726
3727- Fix a bug in the tracing code that prevented trace runs that used
3728 tcp connections from being played back.
3729
3730- Add some additional debugging capability for catching memory leaks
3731 on exit.
3732
3733- Make the client release the lease correctly on shutdown.
3734
3735- Add some configurability to the build system.
3736
3737- Install omshell manual page in man1, not man8.
3738
3739- Craig Gwydir sent in a patch that fixes a long-standing bug in the
3740 DHCP client that could cause core dumps, but that for some reason
3741 hadn't been noticed until now.
3742
3743 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 7
3744
3745- Fix a bug in failover where we weren't sending updates after a
3746 transition from communications-interrupted to normal.
3747
3748- Handle expired/released/reset -> free transition according to the
3749 protocol specification (this works - the other way not only wasn't
3750 conformant, but also didn't work).
3751
3752- Add a control object in both client and server that allows either
3753 daemon to be shut down cleanly.
3754
3755- When writing a lease, if we run out of disk space, shut down the
3756 output file and insist on writing a new one before proceeding.
3757
3758- In the server, if the OMAPI listener port is occupied, keep trying
3759 to get it, rather than simply giving up and exiting.
3760
3761- Support fetching variables from leases and also updating and adding
3762 variables to leases via OMAPI.
3763
3764- If two failover peers have wildly different clocks, refuse to start
3765 doing failover.
3766
3767- Fix a bug in the DNS update code that could cause core dumps when
3768 running on alpha processors.
3769
3770- Fixed a bug in ddns updates for static lease entries, thanks to a
3771 patch from Andrey M Linkevitch.
3772
3773- Add support for Darwin/MacOS X
3774
3775- Install omshell (including new documentation).
3776
3777- Support DNS updates in the client (this is a very obscure feature
3778 that most DHCP client users probably will not be able to use).
3779
3780- Somewhat cleaner status logging in the client.
3781
3782- Make OMAPI key naming syntax compatible with the way keys are
3783 actually named (key names are domain names).
3784
3785- Fix a bug in the lease file writer.
3786
3787- Install DHCP ISC headers in a different place than BIND 9 ISC
3788 headers, to avoid causing trouble in BIND 9 builds.
3789
3790- Don't send updates for attributes on an object when the attributes
3791 haven't changed. Support deleting attributes on remote objects.
3792
3793- Fix a number of bugs in omshell, and add the unset and refresh

3796- Handle disconnects in OMAPI a little bit more intelligently (so that
3797 the caller gets ECONNRESET instead of EINVAL).

3800 leases when the try to renew their leases while failover is
3801 operating.

3806 a client that had a host declaration that contained both a
3807 fixed-address declaration and a dhcp-client-identifier option
3808 declaration, if the client identifier was longer than nine bytes.

3818 chains from having their reference counts decreased on dereference.
3819
3820- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that would prevent object
3821 chains from being freed upon removal of the last reference external
3822 to the chain.
3823
3824- Fix a number of other memory leaks in the OMAPI protocol subsystem.

3840 DHCPDECLINE.
3841
3842- Fix failover peer OMAPI support.
3843
3844- In failover, correctly handle expiration of leases. Previously,
3845 leases would never be reclaimed because they couldn't make the
3846 transition from EXPIRED to FREE.
3847
3848- Fix some broken failover state transitions.
3849

3853 stashing code that was preventing REBINDING clients from rebinding.

3856 processing if the lease belongs to the other server.

3900 committed to be consistent with lease binding states rather than
98311e4b 3901 using the lease end time. This may fix some problems with the
892fe689
TL
3902 billing class code.
3903
3904- Fix a bug where lease updates would fail on Digital Unix (and maybe
3905 others) because malloc was called with a size of zero.

TL
3912- Fix the dhcp_failover_put_message to not attempt to allocate a
3913 zero-length buffer. Some versions of malloc() fail if you try to
3914 allocate a zero-length buffer, and this was causing problems on,
3915 e.g., Digital Unix.
3916
3917- Fix a case where the failover code was printing an error message
3918 when no error had occurred.
3919
3920- Fix a problem where when a server went down and back up again, the
3921 peer would not see a state transition and so would stay in the
3922 non-communicating state.
3923
3924- Be smart about going into recover_wait.
3925
3926- Fix a problem in the failover implementation where peers would fail
3927 to come into sync if interrupted in the RECOVER state. This could
3928 have been the cause of some problems people have reported recently.
3929
3930- Fix a problem with billing classes where they would not be unbilled
3931 when the client lease expired.
3932
3933- If select fails, figure out which descriptor is bad, and cut it out
3934 of the I/O loop. This prevents a potentially nasty spin. I
3935 haven't heard any report it in a while, but it came up consistently
3936 in testing.
3937
3938- Fix a bug in the relay agent where if you specified interfaces on
3939 the command line, it would fail.
3940

3942 user impact).
3943

3947 they're executable.

3962 a new release candidate is expected shortly.

3989 checked. This may have been causing core dumps.
3990
3991- When parsing the lease file, if a lease declaration includes a
3992 billing class statement, and the lease already has a billing class,
3993 unbill the old class.
3994
3995- When processing failover transactions, where acks will be deferred,
3996 process the state transition immediately.
3997
3998- Don't try to use the new SIOCGIFCONF buffer size detection code on
3999 Linux 2.0, which doesn't provide this functionality.
4000

4005- Fix a parse error in the client when setting up an omapi listener.
4006
4007- Document the -n and -g flags to the client.
4008
4009- Make sure there is always a stdin and stdout on startup. This
4010 prevents shell scripts from accidentally writing error messages into
4011 configuration files that happen to be opened as stderr.
4012
4013- If an interface is removed, the client will now notice that it is
4014 gone rather than spinning. This has only been tested on NetBSD.
4015
4016- The client will attempt to get an address even if it can't create a
4017 lease file.
4018
4019- Don't overwrite tracefiles.

4064- Implement omshell, which can be used to do arbitrary things to the
4065 server (in theory). (Damien Neil)
4066
4067- Fix a case where if a client had two different leases the server could
4068 actually dereference the second one when it hadn't been referenced,
4069 leading to memory corruption and a core dump. (James Brister)
4070
4071- Fix a case where a client could request the address of another client's
4072 lease, but find_lease wouldn't detect that the other client had it, and
4073 would attempt to allocate it to the client, resulting in a lease conflict
4074 message.
4075
4076- Fix a case where a client with more than one client identifier could be
4077 given a lease where the hardware address was correct but the client
4078 identifier was not, resulting in a lease conflict message.
4079
98311e4b 4080- Fix a problem where the server could write out a colon-separated
3350f5b7
TL
4081 hex list as a value for a variable, which would then not parse.
4082 The fix is to always write strings as quoted strings, with any
4083 non-printable characters quoted as octal escape sequences. So
4084 a file written the old way still won't work, but new files written
4085 this way will work.

4087- Fix documentation for sending non-standard options.
4088
4089- Use unparsable names for unknown options. WARNING: this will
4090 break any configuration files that use the option-nnn convention.
4091 If you want to continue to use this convention for some options,
4092 please be sure to write a definition, like this:
4093
4094 option option-nnn code nnn = string;
4095
4096 You can use a descriptive name instead of option-nnn if you like.
4097
4098- Fix a problem where we would see a DHCPDISCOVER/DHCPOFFER/
4099 DHCPREQUEST/DHCPACK/DHCPREQUEST/DHCPNAK sequence. This was the
4100 result of a deceptively silly bug in supersede_lease.
4101

4103 Hermann Lauer.

4115- Add support for transaction tracing. This allows the state of the
4116 DHCP server on startup, and all the subsequent transactions, to be
4117 recorded in a file which can then be played back to reproduce the
4118 behaviour of the DHCP server. This can be used to quickly
4119 reproduce bugs that cause core dumps or corruption, and also for
4120 tracking down memory leaks.
4121
4122- Incorporate some bug fixes provided by Joost Mulders for the DLPI
4123 package which should clear up problems people have been seeing on
4124 Solaris.
4125
4126- Fix bugs in the handling of options stored as linked lists (agent
4127 options, fqdn options and nwip options) that could cause memory
4128 corruption and core dumps.
4129
4130- Fix a bug in DHCPREQUEST handling that resulted in DHCPNAK messages
4131 not being send in some cases when they were needed.

4176- Finish fixing a long-standing bug in the agent options code. This
4177 was causing core dumps and failing to operate correctly - in
4178 particular, agent option stashing wasn't working. Agent option
4179 stashing should now be working, meaning that agent options can be
4180 used in class statements to control address allocation.
4181

4189- Fix a compile error on some older operating systems.

4192 transmitting packets to the server. Handy for debugging; not much
4193 practical use otherwise.

4204- Work around the Win98 DHCP client, which NUL-terminates the FQDN
4205 option.

4208 the update even when they don't have any way to do it.
4209
4210- Fix some log messages that can be printed when failover is operating
4211 that were not printing enough information.
4212
4213- It was possible for a DHCPDISCOVER to get an allocation even when
4214 the state machine said the server shouldn't be responding.
4215
4216- Don't load balance DHCPREQUESTs from clients in RENEWING and
4217 REBINDING, since in RENEWING, if we heard it, it's for us, and in
4218 REBINDING, the client wouldn't have got to REBINDING if its primary
4219 were answering.

4232 decoder that would prevent any key with an 'x' in its base64
4233 representation from working correctly.
4234
4235- Thanks to Chris Cheney and Michael Sanders, we have a fix for the
4236 hang that they both spotted in the DHCP server - when
4237 one-lease-per-client was set, the code to release the "other" lease
4238 could spin.
4239
4240- Fix a problem with alignment of the input buffer in bpf in cases
4241 where two packets arrive in the same bpf read.
4242
4243- Fix a problem where the relay agent would crash if you specified an
4244 interface name on the command line.
4245
4246- Add the ability to conditionalize client behaviour based on the
4247 client state.
4248
4249- Add support for the FQDN option, and added support for a new way of
4250 doing ddns updates (ddns update style interim) that allows more than
4251 one DHCP server to update the DNS for the same network(s). This
4252 was implemented by Damien Neil with some additional functionality
4253 added by Ted Lemon.
4254
4255- Damien added a "log" statement, so that the configuration file can
4256 be made to log debugging information and other information.
4257
4258- Fixed a bug that caused option buffers not to be terminated with an
4259 end option.
4260
4261- Fixed a long-standing bug in the support for option spaces where the
4262 options are stored as an ordered list rather than in a hash table,
4263 which could theoretically result in memory pool corruption.
4264
4265- Prevent hardware declarations with no actual hardware address from
4266 being written as something unparsable, and behave correctly in the
4267 face of a null hardware address on input.
4268
4269- Allow key names to be FQDNs, and qualify the algorithm name if it is
4270 specified unqualified.
4271
4272- Modify the DDNS update code so that it never prints the "resolver
4273 failed" message, but instead says *why* the resolver failed.
4274

4276 RFC.

4322 client had the lease, the DHCP server would reallocate it anyway.
4323
4324- Fix the DNS update code so that if the client changes its name, the DNS
4325 will be correctly updated.

4338- Fix a possible DoS attack where a client could cause the checksummer
4339 to dump core. This was a read, not a write, so it shouldn't be
4340 possible to exploit it any further than that.
4341
4342- Implement client- and server-side support for using the Client FQDN
4343 option.
4344
4345- Support for other option spaces in the client has been added. This
4346 means that it is now possible to define a vendor option space on the
4347 client, request options in that space from the server (which must
4348 define the same option space), and then use those options in the
4349 client. This also allows NWIP and Client FQDN options to be used
4350 meaningfully.
4351
4352- Add object initializer support. This means that objects can now be
4353 initialized to something other than all-zeros when allocated, which
4354 makes, e.g., the interface object support code a little more robust.
4355
4356- Fix an off-by-one bug in the host stuffer. This was causing host
4357 deletes not the work, and may also have been causing OMAPI
4358 connections to get dropped. Thanks to James Brister for tracking
4359 this one down!
4360
4361- Fixed a core dump in the interface discovery code that is triggered
4362 when there is no subnet declaration for an interface, but the server
4363 decides to continue running. Thanks to Shane Kerr for tracking
4364 down and fixing this problem.

4368- Fix a bug in the recent enhancement to the interface discovery code
4369 to support arbitrary-length interface lists.
4370
4371- Support NUL-terminated DHCP options when initializing client-script
4372 environment.
4373
4374- Fix suffix operator.
4375
4376- Fix NetWare/IP option parsing.
4377
4378- Better error/status checking in dhcpctl initialization and omapi
4379 connection code.
4380
4381- Fix a potential memory smash in dhcpctl code.
4382
4383- Fix SunOS4 and (maybe) Ultrix builds.
4384
4385- Fix a bug where a certain sort of incoming packet could cause a core
4386 dump on Solaris (and probably elsewhere).
4387
4388- Add some more safety checks in error logging code.
4389
4390- Add support for ISC_R_INCOMPLETE in OMAPI protocol connection code.
4391
4392- Fix relay agent so that if an interface is specified on the command
4393 line, the relay agent does not dump core.
4394
4395- Fix class matching so that match if can be combined with match or
4396 spawn with.
4397
4398- Do not allow spurious leases in the lease database to introduce
4399 potentially bogus leases into the in-memory database.
4400
4401- Fix a byte-order problem in the client hardware address type code
4402 for OMAPI.
4403
4404- Be slightly less picky about what sort of hardware addresses OMAPI
4405 can install in host declarations.

4407 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 4
4408
4409- Incorporated Peter Marschall's proposed change to array/record
4410 parsing, which allows things like the slp-agent option to be encoded
4411 correctly. Thanks very much to Peter for taking the initiative to
4412 do this, and for doing such a careful job of it (e.g., updating the
4413 comments)!

4415- Added an encoding for the slp-agent option. :')

4417- Fixed SunOS 4 build. Thanks to Robert Elz for responding to my
4418 request for help on this with patches!
4419
4420- Incorporated a change that should fix a problem reported by Philippe
4421 Jumelle where when the network connection between two servers is
4422 lost, they never reconnect.
4423
4424- Fix client script files other than that for NetBSD to actually use
4425 make_resolv_conf as documented in the manual page.
4426
4427- Fix a bug in the packet handling code that could result in a core
4428 dump.
4429
4430- Fix a bug in the bootp code where responses on the local net would
4431 be sent to the wrong MAC address. Thanks to Jerry Schave for
4432 catching this one.

4434 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 3
4435
4436- In the DHCP client, execute client statements prior to using the values
45d545f0 4437 of options, so that the client configuration can overridden, e.g., the
490eb5e7
TL
4438 lease renewal time.
4439
4440- Fix a reference counting error that would result in very reproducible
4441 failures in updates, as well as occasional core dumps, if a zone was
4442 declared without a key.
4443
4444- Fix some Linux 2.0 compilation problems.
4445
4446- Fix a bug in scope evaluation during execution of "on" statements that
4447 caused values not to be recorded on leases.
4448
4449- If the dhcp-max-message-size option is specified in scope, and the
4450 client didn't send this option, use the one specified in scope to
4451 determine the maximum size of the response.

4463- Include memory.h in omapip_p.h so that we don't get warnings about
4464 using memcmp().

4468- Notice when SIOCFIGCONF returns more data than fit in the buffer -
4469 allocate a larger buffer, and retry. Thanks to Greg Fausak for
4470 pointing this out.
4471
4472- In the server, if no interfaces were configured, report an error and
4473 exit.
4474
4475- Don't ever record a state of 'startup'.
4476
4477- Don't try to evaluate the local failover binding address if none was
4478 specified. Thanks to Joseph Breu for finding this.
