DH
9ISC DHCP 4.2.x includes features that were not included in DHCP 4.1.x.
10These include:
37ec5845 11
98bf1607 12Processing the DHCP to DNS server transactions in an asyncrhonous fashion.
09afca0d 13The DHCP server or client can now continue with its processing while
98bf1607
SR
14awaiting replies from the DNS server.

16There are a number of DHCPv6 limitations and features missing in this
17release, which will be addressed in the future:
98bd7ca0 18
01a54c17 19- Only Solaris, Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD are supported.
3a16098f 20
adbef119
DH
21- DHCPv6 includes human-readable text in status code messages, in
22 English. A method to reconfigure or support other languages would
23 be preferrable.
98bd7ca0
DH
24
25- The "host-identifier" option is limited to a simple token.
26
98bd7ca0 27- The client and server can only operate DHCPv4 or DHCPv6 at a time,
45d545f0 28 not both. To use both protocols simultaneously, two instances of the
6de1f33e 29 relevant daemon are required, one with the '-6' command line option.

38The system has only been tested on Linux, FreeBSD, and Solaris, and may not
39work on other platforms. Please report any problems and suggested fixes to
40<dhcp-users@isc.org>.

6980ae03 42 Changes since 4.2.0 (new features)
51b8a8a0
SR
43
44- If a client renews before 'dhcp-cache-threshold' percent of its lease
45 has elapsed (default 25%), the server will reuse the allocated lease
46 (provide a lease within the currently allocated lease-time) rather
47 than extend or renew the lease. This absolves the server of needing
48 to perform an fsync() operation on the lease database before reply,
49 which improves performance. [ISC-Bugs #22228]
8cd88e20
SR
50 Update this patch to support asynchronous DDNS. If the server is
51 attempting to do DDNS on a lease it should be udpated and written to
52 disk even if that wouldn't be necessary due to the thresholding
53 [ISC-Bugs #26311]
51b8a8a0 54
6980ae03
SR
55- The 'no available billing' log line now also logs the name of the last
56 matching billing class tried before failing to provide a billing.
57 [ISC-Bugs #21759]
58
32e651c4
SR
59- A problem with missing get_hw_addr function when --enable-use-sockets
60 was used is now solved on GNU/Linux, BSD and GNU/Hurd systems. Note
61 that use-sockets feature was not tested on those systems. Client and
62 server code no longer use MAX_PATH constant that is not defined on
3cb6f9bb 63 GNU/Hurd systems. [ISC-Bugs #25979]
32e651c4 64
67418698
SR
65- Add a perl script in the contrib directory, dhcp-lease-list.pl, which
66 can parse v4 lease files and output the lease information in a more
67 human friendly manner. This was written by Christian Hammers with
68 some updates by vom and ISC. This is contributed code and is not
69 supported by ISC; however it may be useful to some users.
70 [ISC-Bugs #20680]
71
a7341359
SR
72- Add support in v6 for on-commit, on-expire and on-release.
73 [ISC-Bugs #27912
74
01fa619f
SR
75- Add support for using classes with v6.
76 [ISC-Bugs #26510]
77
d7d9c0c7
SR
78- Update the DDNS code to current standards and allow for sharing
79 of DDNS entries between v4 and v6 clients. The new code is used
80 if the ddns-update-style is set to "standard", the older code is
81 still available if ddns-update-style is set to "interim". The
82 oldest DDNS code "ad-hoc" has been removed. Thanks to Thomas Pegeot
83 who submitted a patch for this issue. This patch is based on
84 that work with some modifications.
85 [ISC-Bugs 21139]

99 [ISC-Bugs #26303]
c5bc8b1a 100
cc17cbc3
SR
101- Remove a variable when it isn't being used due to #ifdefs to avoid
102 a compiler warning on Solaris using GCC.
103 [ISC-Bugs #33032]
104
360cc6d9
SR
105- Add a check for too much whitespace in a config or lease file.
106 Thanks to Paolo Pellegrino for finding the issue and a suggestion
107 for the patch.

110- Fix several problems with using OMAPI to manipulate class and subclass
111 objects.
112 [ISC-Bugs #27452]
113
ad4001ce
SR
114- Added a sleep call after killing the old client to allow time
115 for the sockets to be cleaned. This should allow the -r option
116 to work more consistently.
117 [ISC-Bugs #18175]
118
3cb6f9bb
SR
119- Missing files for ISC DHCP Developer's Guide are now included in
120 the release tarballs. To generate this documentation, please use
121 make devel command in doc directory. [ISC-Bugs #32767]
122
f6dc164f
SR
123- Update client script for use with openwrt.
124 [ISC-Bugs #29843]
125
4b8251a0
SR
126- Fix the socket handling for DHCPv6 clients to allow multiple instances
127 of a client on a single machine to work properly. Previously only
128 one client would receive the packets. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat
129 for the bug report and a potential patch.
130 [ISC-Bugs #34784]
131
9f9265b6
SR
132 Changes since 4.2.4
133
134- Correct code to calculate timing values in client to compare
135 rebind value to infinity instead of renew value.
136 Thanks to Chenda Huang from H3C Technologies Co., Limited
137 for reporting this issue.
138 [ISC-Bugs #29062]
139
35de6c8c
SR
140- Fix some issues in the code for parsing and printing options.
141 [ISC-Bugs #22625] - properly print options that have several fields
142 followed by an array of something for example "fIa"
143 [ISC-Bugs #27289] - properly parse options in declarations that have
144 several fields followed by an array of something for example "fIa"
145 [ISC-Bugs #27296] - properly determine if we parsed a 16 or 32 bit
146 value in evaluate_numeric_expression (extract-int).
147 [ISC-Bugs #27314] - properly parse a zero length option from
148 a lease file. Thanks to Marius Tomaschewski from SUSE for the report
149 and prototype patch for this ticket as well as ticket 27289.
150
de87ffe3
SR
151! Previously the server code was relaxed to allow packets with zero
152 length client ids to be processed. Under some situations use of
153 zero length client ids can cause the server to go into an infinite
154 loop. As such ids are not valid according to RFC 2132 section 9.14
155 the server no longer accepts them. Client ids with a length of 1
156 are also invalid but the server still accepts them in order to
157 minimize disruption. The restriction will likely be tightened in
158 the future to disallow ids with a length of 1.
159 Thanks to Markus Hietava of Codenomicon CROSS project for the
160 finding this issue and CERT-FI for vulnerability coordination.
161 [ISC-Bugs #29851]
162 CVE: CVE-2012-3571
163
e563ec2e
SR
164! When attempting to convert a DUID from a client id option
165 into a hardware address handle unexpected client ids properly.
166 Thanks to Markus Hietava of Codenomicon CROSS project for the
167 finding this issue and CERT-FI for vulnerability coordination.
168 [ISC-Bugs #29852]
169 CVE: CVE-2012-3570
170
3bedb117
SR
171! A pair of memory leaks were found and fixed. Thanks to
172 Glen Eustace of Massey University, New Zealand for finding
173 this issue.
174 [ISC-Bugs #30024]
df2c355e 175 CVE: CVE-2012-3954
3bedb117 176
18a28679
TM
177- Existing legacy unit-tests have been migrated to Automated Test
178 Framework (ATF). Several new tests have been developed. To enable
179 unit-tests, please use --with-atf in configure script. A Developer's
180 Guide has been added. To generate it, please use make devel in
181 the doc directory. It is currently in early stages of development,
182 but is expected to grow in the near future. [ISC-Bugs 25901]
183
0b2ec8c9 184! An issue with the use of lease times was found and fixed. Making
03b44855 185 certain changes to the end time of an IPv6 lease could cause the
0b2ec8c9
SR
186 server to abort. Thanks to Glen Eustace of Massey University,
187 New Zealand for finding this issue.
188 [ISC-Bugs #30281]
189 CVE: CVE-2012-3955
190
67b2cb45
SR
191- Update the memory leakage debug code to work with v6.
192 [ISC-Bugs #30297]
193
74977c94
SR
194- Relax the requirements for deleting an A or AAAA record.
195 Previously the DDNS removal code required both the A or AAAA
196 record and the TXT record to exist. This requirement could
197 cause problems if something interrupted the removal leaving
198 the TXT record alone. This relaxation was codified in RFC 4703.
199 [ISC-Bugs #30734]
200
30e42327
SR
201- Modify the failover code to handle incorrect peer names
202 better. Previously the structure holding the name might
203 have been freed inappropriately in some cases and not
204 freed in other cases.
205 [ISC-Bugs #30320]
206
d5d868e7 207- Add a configure option, enable-secs-byteorder, to deal with
dbd65517
SR
208 clients that do the byte ordering on the secs field incorrectly.
209 This field should be in network byte order but some clients
210 get it wrong. When this option is enabled the server will examine
211 the secs field and if it looks wrong (high byte non zero and low
212 byte zero) swap the bytes. The default is disabled. This option
213 is only useful when doing load balancing within failover.
214 [ISC-Bugs #26108]
215
0f750c4f
SR
216- Fix a set of issues that were discovered via a code inspection
217 tool. Thanks to Jiri Popelka and Tomas Hozza Red Hat for the logs
218 and patches.
219 [ISC-Bugs #23833]
220
962d5eab
SR
221- Parsing unquoted base64 strings improved. Parser now properly handles
222 strings that contain reserved names. [ISC-Bugs #23048]
223
d56788df
SR
224- Modify the nak_lease function to make some attempts to find a
225 server-identifier option to use for the NAK.
226 [ISC-Bugs #25689]
227
10613724
SR
228- The client now passes information about the options it requested
229 from the server to the script code via environment variables.
230 These variables are of the form requested_<option_name>=1 with
231 the option name being the same as used in the new_* and old_*
232 variables.
3aa562f8 233 [ISC-Bugs #29068]
10613724 234
f8380d3f
SR
235- Add support for a simple check that the server id in a request message
236 to a failover peer matches the server id of the server. This support
237 is enabled by editing the file includes/site.h and uncommenting the
238 definition for SERVER_ID_CHECK. The option has several restrictions
239 and issues - please read the comment in the site.h file before
240 enabling it.
241 [ISC-Bugs #31463]
242
d5d868e7 243- Tidy up some compiler issues in the debug code.
0d93c339
SR
244 [ISC-Bugs #26460]
245
9ff4e0a2
SR
246- Move the dhcpd.conf exmample file to dhcpd.conf.example to avoid
247 overwriting the dhcpd.conf file when installing a new version of
248 ISC DHCP. The user will now need to manual copy and edit the
249 dhcpd.conf file as desired.
250 [ISC-Bugs #19337]
251
1e2a127b
SR
252- Check the status value when trying to read from a connection to
253 see if it may have been closed. If it appears closed don't try
254 to read from it again. This avoids a potential busy-wait like
255 loop when the peer names are mismatched.
256 [ISC-Bugs #31231]
257
d5d868e7 258- Remove an unused variable to keep compilers happy.
8acc987b
SR
259 [ISC-Bugs #31983]
260
b89b8e16
SR
261- Modify test makefiles to be more similar to standard makefiles
262 and comment out a currently unused test.
56c0e681 263 [ISC-Bugs #32089]
b89b8e16 264
b95f1ee0
SR
265 Changes since 4.2.3
266
267! Add a check for a null pointer before calling the regexec function.
dc6908b4 268 Without this check we could, under some circumstances, pass
b95f1ee0 269 a null pointer to the regexec function causing it to segfault.
317d1182 270 Thanks to a report from BlueCat Networks.
b95f1ee0 271 [ISC-Bugs #26704].
846af1cd 272 CVE: CVE-2011-4539
b95f1ee0 273
0ef9a46e
SR
274! Modify the DDNS handling code. In a previous patch we added logging
275 code to the DDNS handling. This code included a bug that caused it
276 to attempt to dereference a NULL pointer and eventually segfault.
277 While reviewing the code as we addressed this problem, we determined
278 that some of the updates to the lease structures would not work as
279 planned since the structures being updated were in the process of
280 being freed: these updates were removed. In addition we removed an
281 incorrect call to the DDNS removal function that could cause a failure
282 during the removal of DDNS information from the DNS server.
283 Thanks to Jasper Jongmans for reporting this issue.
284 [ISC-Bugs #27078]
285 CVE: CVE-2011-4868
286
de6c9af6
SR
287- Fixed the code that checks if an address the server is planning
288 to hand out is in a reserved range. This would appear as
289 the server being out of addresses in pools with particular ranges.
290 [ISC-Bugs #26498]
291
87132514
SR
292- In the DDNS code handle error conditions more gracefully and add more
293 logging code. The major change is to handle unexpected cancel events
294 from the DNS client code.
cfc49463 295 [ISC-Bugs #26287]
87132514 296
cfc49463 297- Tidy up the receive calls and eliminate the need for found_pkt.
865afd5e
SR
298 [ISC-Bugs #25066]
299
b047bd38
SR
300- Add support for Infiniband over sockets to the server and
301 relay code. We've tested this on Solaris and hope to expand
302 support for Infiniband in the future. This patch also corrects
53394a8d
SR
303 some issues we found in the socket code.
304 [ISC-Bugs #24245]
b047bd38 305
e3c94800
SR
306- Add a compile time check for the presence of the noreturn attribute
307 and use it for log_fatal if it's available. This will help code
308 checking programs to eliminate false positives.
d13db163 309 [ISC-Bugs #27539]
e3c94800 310
dd9237c3
TM
311- Fixed many compilation problems ("set, but not used" warnings) for
312 gcc 4.6 that may affect Ubuntu 11.10 users. [ISC-Bugs #27588]
313
d13db163
SR
314- Modify the code that determines if an outstanding DDNS request
315 should be cancelled. This patch results in cancelling the
316 outstanding request less often. It fixes the problem caused
cfc49463 317 by a client doing a release where the TXT and PTR records
d13db163
SR
318 weren't removed from the DNS.
319 [ISC-BUGS #27858]
320
b342f2e7
SR
321- Use offsetof() instead of sizeof() to get the sizes for dhcpv6_relay_packet
322 and dhcpv6_packet in several more places. Thanks to a report from
323 Bruno Verstuyft and Vincent Demaertelaere of Excentis.
324 [ISC-Bugs #27941]
325
cfc49463
SR
326- Remove outdated note in the description of the bootp keyword about the
327 option not satisfying the requirement of failover peers for denying
328 dynamic bootp clients.
797aab67
SR
329 [ISC-bugs #28574]
330
bc7f8b8e
SR
331- Multiple items to clean up IPv6 address processing.
332 When processing an IA that we've seen check to see if the
333 addresses are usable (not in use by somebody else) before
334 handing it out.
335 When reading in leases from the file discard expired addresses.
336 When picking an address for a client include the IA ID in
337 addition to the client ID to generally pick different addresses
338 for different IAs.
339 [ISC-Bugs #23138] [ISC-Bugs #27945] [ISC-Bugs #25586]
340 [ISC-Bugs #27684]
341
d289ee68
SR
342- Remove unnecessary checks in the lease query code and clean up
343 several compiler issues (some dereferences of NULL and treating
344 an int as a boolean).
345 [ISC-Bugs #26203]
346
d19fa5a1
SR
347- Fix the NA and PD allocation code to handle the case where a client
348 provides a preference and the server doesn't have any addresses or
cfc49463
SR
349 prefixes available. Previously the server ignored the request with
350 this patch it replies with a NoAddrsAvail or NoPrefixAvail response.
d19fa5a1 351 By default the code performs according to the errata of August 2010
53394a8d 352 for RFC 3315 section 17.2.2; to enable the previous style see the
cfc49463 353 section on RFC3315_PRE_ERRATA_2010_08 in includes/site.h. This option
d19fa5a1
SR
354 may be removed in the future.
355 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the patch.
356 [ISC-Bugs #22676]
357
cfc49463 358- Fix up some issues found by static analysis.
bb9189c3
SR
359 A potential memory leak and NULL dereference in omapi.
360 The use of a boolean test instead of a bitwise test in dst.
361 [ISC-Bugs #28941]
362
cbbd2714
SR
363- Rotate the lease file when running in v6 mode.
364 Thanks to Christoph Moench-Tegeder at Astaro for the
365 report and the first version of the patch.
366 [ISC-Bugs #24887]
367
d208bb04
SR
368 Changes since 4.2.2
369
370- Fix the code that checks for an existing DDNS transaction to cancel
371 when removing DDNS information, so that we will continue with the
372 processing if we have a lease even if it doesn't have an outstanding
373 transaction. [ISC-Bugs #24682]
374
25f664a6
SR
375- Add AM_MAINTAINER_MODE to configure.ac to avoid rebuilding
376 configuration files. [ISC-Bugs #24107]
377
d424157d
SR
378- Add support for passing DDNS information to a DNS server over
379 an IPv6 address. [ISC-Bugs #22647]
380
3221151b
SR
381- Enhanced patch for 23595 to handle IPv4 fixed addresses more
382 cleanly. [ISC-Bugs #23595]
383
bea17697
SR
384 Changes since 4.2.1
385
386! In dhclient check the data for some string options for
387 reasonableness before passing it along to the script that
388 interfaces with the OS.
389 [ISC-Bugs #23722]
390 CVE: CVE-2011-0997
c7aa4dd4
TM
391
392- DHCPv6 server now responds properly if client asks for a prefix that
393 is already assigned to a different client. [ISC-Bugs #23948]
4a5bfeac
SR
394
395- Add the option "--no-pid" to the client, relay and server code,
396 to disable writing a pid file. Add the option "-pf pidfile"
397 to the relay to allow the user to supply the pidfile name at
398 runtime. Add the "with-relay6-pid-file" option to configure
399 to allow the user to supply the pidfile name for the relay
400 in v6 mode at configure time.
401 [ISC-Bugs #23351] [ISC-Bugs #17541]
5d082abd
TM
402
403- 'dhclient' no longer waits a random interval after first starting up to
404 begin in the INIT state. This conforms to RFC 2131, but elects not to
405 implement a 'SHOULD' direction in section 4.1. The goal of this change
73c83820 406 is to start up faster. [ISC-Bugs #19660]
5d082abd
TM
407
408- Added 'initial-delay' parameter that specifies maximum amount of time
409 before client goes to the INIT state. The default value is 0. In previous
410 versions of the code client could wait up to 5 seconds. The old behavior
411 may be restored by using 'initial-delay 5;' in the client config file.
73c83820 412 [ISC-Bugs #19660]
5d082abd
TM
413
414- ICMP ping-check should now sit closer to precisely the number of seconds
415 configured (or default 1), due to making use of the new microsecond
416 scale timer internally to dhcpd. This corrects a bug where the server

420- The DHCP client will schedule renewal and rebinding events in
421 microseconds if the DHCP server provided a lease-time that would result
422 in sub-1-second timers. This corrects a bug where a 2-second or lower
423 lease-time would cause the DHCP client to enter an infinite loop by
73c83820 424 scheduling renewal at zero seconds. [ISC-Bugs #19660]
5d082abd
TM
425
426- Client lease records are recorded at most once every 15 seconds. This
427 keeps the client from filling the lease database disk quickly on very small
73c83820 428 lease times. [ISC-Bugs #19660]
5d082abd
TM
429
430- To defend against RFC 2131 non-compliant DHCP servers which fail to
431 advertise a lease-time (either mangled, or zero in value) the DHCP
432 client now adds the server to the reject list ACL and returns to INIT
433 state to hopefully find an RFC 2131 compliant server (or retry in INIT
73c83820 434 forever). [ISC-Bugs #19660]

436- Parameters configured to evaluate from user defined function calls can
437 now be correctly written to dhcpd.leases (as on 'on events' or dynamic
438 host records inserted via OMAPI). [ISC-Bugs #22266]
439
440- If a 'next-server' parameter is configured in a dynamic host record via

442 upon restart. [ISC-Bugs #22266]

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

DH
815- A new failover configuration parameter has been introduced for those
816 environments where DHCP servers can be reasonably guaranteed to be
817 "down" when the failover TCP socket is severed, "auto-partner-down".
818 This parameter is not generally safe, and by default is disabled, so
819 please carefully review the documentation of this parameter in the
820 dhcpd.conf(5) manpage before determining to use it yourself.
821
33ea4622
DH
822- Added a configuration function, 'gethostname()', which calls the system
823 function of the same name and presents the results as a data expression.
824 This function can be used to incorporate the system level hostname of
825 the system the DHCP software is operating on in responses or queries (such
826 as including a failover partner's hostname in a dhcp message or binding
827 scope, or having a DHCP client send any system hostname in the host-name or
828 FQDN options by default).

DH
830- The dhcp-renewal-time and dhcp-rebinding-time options may now be configured
831 for DHCPv4 operation and used independently of the dhcp-lease-time
832 calculations. Invalid renew and rebinding times (e.g., greater than the
833 determined lease time) are omitted.
834
98bf1607 835- Processing the DHCP to DNS server transactions in an asyncrhonous fashion.
09afca0d 836 The DHCP server or client can now continue with its processing while
98bf1607 837 awaiting replies from the DNS server.

838
839- The 'hardware [ethernet|etc] ...;' parameter in host records has been
840 extended to attempt to match DHCPv6 clients by the last octets of a
841 DUID-LL or DUID-LLT provided by the client.

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

855- Suppress spurious warnings from configure about --datarootdir

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

cd51403d
SR
861- Update the code to deal with GCC 4.3. This included two sets of changes.
862 The first is to the configuration files to include the use of
571c38b0 863 AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS. The second is to deal with return values that
cd51403d

879 result in an erroneous error log message ('garbage in format string').
880
f9453d21
DH
881- A bug in DLPI packet transmission (Solaris, HP/UX) that caused the server
882 to stop receiving packets is fixed. The same fix also means that the MAC
883 address will no longer appear 'bogus' on DLPI-based systems.
884
885- A bug in select handling was discovered where the results of one select()
886 call were discarded, causing the server to process the next select() call
887 and use more system calls than required. This has been repaired - the
888 sockets will be handled after the first return from select(), resulting in
889 fewer system calls.
890
a3dcc0b1
DH
891- The update-conflict-detection feature would leave an FQDN updated without
892 a DHCID (still currently implemented as a TXT RR). This would cause later
893 expiration or release events to fail to remove the domain name. The feature
894 now also inserts the client's up to date DHCID record, so records may safely
895 be removed at expiration or release time. Thanks to a patch submitted by
896 Christof Chen.

DH
898- Memory leak in the load_balance_mine() function is fixed. This would
899 leak ~20-30 octets per DHCPDISCOVER packet while failover was in use
900 and in normal state.

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

914- Compilation on Solaris with USE_SOCKETS defined in includes/site.h has
915 been repaired. Other USE_ overrides should work better.

917- A check for the local flavor of IFNAMSIZ had a broken 'else' condition,
918 that probably still resulted in the correct behaviour (but wouldn't use
919 a larger defined value provided by the host OS).

DH
921- Fixed a bug where an OMAPI socket disconnection message would not result
922 in scheduling a failover reconnection, if the link had not negotiated a
923 failover connect yet (e.g.: connection refused, asynch socket connect()
924 timeouts).

929! A stack overflow vulnerability was fixed in dhclient that could allow
930 remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands as root on the system,
931 or simply terminate the client, by providing an over-long subnet-mask

DH
948- Secondary servers in a failover pair will now perform ddns removals if
949 they had performed ddns updates on a lease that is expiring, or was
950 released through the primary. As part of the same fix, stale binding scopes
951 will now be removed if a change in identity of a lease's active client is
952 detected, rather than simply if a lease is noticed to have expired (which it
953 may have expired without a failover server noticing in some situations).

DH
955- A patch supplied by David Cantrell at RedHat was applied that detects
956 invalid calling parameters given to the ns_name_ntop() function.
957 Specifically, it detects if the caller passed a pointer and size pair
958 that causes the pointer to integer-wrap past zero.

967 fixed-address6 (DHCPv6) is in use or not. Host scoped configuration takes
968 precedence. This fixes two bugs, one where host scoped configuration
969 would not be included from a non-fixed-address6 host record, and the equal
970 and opposite bug where subnet6 scoped configuration would not be used when
571c38b0 971 over-riding values were not present in a matching fixed-address6 host

0493fdca
SR
977- Modified the handling of a connection to avoid releasing the omapi io
978 object for the connection while it is still in use. One symptom from
979 this error was a segfault when a failover secondary attempted to connect
980 to the failover primary if their clocks were not synchronized.
981
95bba8b6
SR
982- Clean up to allow compilation with gcc 2.95.4 on FreeBSD. Remove an
983 extra semi-colon from common/dns.c and moved setting a variable to NULL
984 in server/dhcpv6.c to allow the compiler to decide that the variable
985 was always properly set.

1001 high frequency messages moved to a deeper debugging symbol.

1004 and not by failover binding updates (taking on the peer's CLTT).

1011- Delayed-ack is now a compile-time option, compiled out by default.
1012 This feature is simply too experimental for right now, and causes
1013 some problems to some failover installations. We will revisit this
1014 in future releases.

1022- DDNS removal routines were updated so that the DHCID is not removed until
1023 the client has been deprived of all A and AAAA records (not only the last
1024 one of either of those). This resolves a bug where dual stack clients
1025 would not be able to regain their names after either expiration event.

DH
1091- A bug in subnet6 parsing where options contained in subnet6 clauses would
1092 not be applied to clients addressed within that network was repaired.
1093
1094- When configuring a "subnet {}" or "subnet6 {}" without an explicit
1095 shared-network enclosing it, the DHCP software would synthesize a
1096 shared-network to contain the subnet. However, all configuration
1097 parameters within the subnet more intuitively belong "to any client
1098 on that interface", or rather the synthesized shared-network. So,
1099 when a shared-network is synthesized, it is used to contain the
1100 configuration present inside the subnet {} clause. This means that
1101 the configuration will be valid for all clients on that network, not
1102 just those addressed out of the stated subnet. If you intended the
1103 opposite, the workaround is to explicitly configure an empty
1104 shared-network.
1105
1106- A bug was fixed where Information-Request processing was not sourcing
1107 configured option values.

1110 support class statements.

1116 no matter how many interfaces are involved, differentiating the
1117 interfaces the packets were received on by the interface index supplied
1118 by the OS.
1119

01a54c17
EH
1162- The dhclient-script was updated to create a host route for the default
1163 gateway if the supplied subnet mask for an IPv4 address was a /32. This
1164 allows the client to work in 'captive' network environments, where the
1165 operator does not want clients to crosstalk directly.
1166
1167- MINUS tokens should be parseable again.
1168
1169- Multiple (up to "delayed-ack x;" maximum) DHCPv4 packets are now queued and
1170 released in bursts after single fsync() events when the upper limit is
1171 reached or if the receiving sockets go dry. The practical upshot is
1172 that fsync-coupled server performance is now multiplicitively increased.
1173 The default delayed ack limit is 28. Thanks entirely to a patch from
1174 Christof Chen.

1189 they were declared has been updated to be more helpful and identify the
1190 typo in configuration that created the spanning addresses.

DH
1210- The minimum site code value was set to 224 in 3.1.0 to track RFC3942. This
1211 broke a lot of legacy site local configurations. The new code in place will
1212 track site local space minimum option codes and logs a warning to encourage
1213 updates and exploration of site local code migration problems. Option
1214 codes less than 128 in site local spaces remain inaccessible.
1215
1216- A possible relay agent option bug was repaired where random server
1217 initialization state may have been used to signal the relay agent
1218 information options sub-option code for the 'END' of the option space.

SK
1224- When server is configured with options that it overrides, a warning is
1225 issued when the configuration file is read, rather than at the time the
1226 option is overridden. This was important, because the warning was given
1227 every time the option was overridden, which could create a lot of
1228 unnecessary logging.

1243- DHCPv6 client timestamp in DUID was based on the year 1970 rather
1244 than the year 2000.

DH
1252 Changes since 4.0.0b3
1253
1254- The reverse dns name for PTR updates on IPv6 addresses has been fixed to
1255 use ip6.arpa. rather than default to in-addr.arpa and require user
1256 configuration.
76db44f9 1257
e32529a5
EH
1258- dhc6_lease_destroy() and dhc6_ia_destroy() now set lease and IA pointers
1259 to NULL after freeing, to prevent subsequent accesses to freed memory.
1260
76db44f9
SK
1261- The DHCPv6 server would not send the preference option unless the
1262 client requested it, via the ORO. This has been fixed, so the DHCPv6
1263 server will always send the preference value if it is configured.
e4a6be15 1264
6f76de58
SK
1265- When addresses were passed as hints to the server in an IA, they were
1266 incorrectly handled, sometimes being treated as an error. Now the
1267 server will treat these as hints and ignore them if it cannot supply
1268 a requested address.
1269
703873ab
DH
1270- If the client had multiple addresses, and one expired (was not renewed
1271 by the server), the client would continue to attempt to renew the same
1272 old address over and over. Now, the client will omit any expired
1273 addresses from future Confirm, Renew, or Rebind messages.
1274
1275- dhclient -6 will now select renew/rebind timers based upon the longest
1276 address expiration time rather than the shortest expiration time, in
1277 order to avoid cascading renewals in the event a server elects not to
1278 extend one of multiple IAADDR leases.
1279
b024480e
DH
1280- The server now limits clients that request multiple addresses to one
1281 address per IA by default, which can be adjusted through the
1282 "limit-addrs-per-ia" configuration option.
1283
c0216cb7
DH
1284- The DHCPv6 client now issues fresh transaction IDs on Renew and Rebind
1285 message exchanges, rather than using the most recent ID.

DH
1300- ./configure now autodetects local database locations rather than trying
1301 to put dhcpd.leases and dhclient.leases in /usr/local/var/db, which no
1302 one ever has.

1304- Regression fix for bug where server advertised a IPv6 address in
1305 response to a SOLICIT but would not return the address in response
1306 to a REQUEST.

DH
1316- Relative time may now be used as a qualifier for 'allow' and 'deny' access
1317 control lists. These directives may be used to assist in re-addressing
1318 address pools without having to constantly reconfigure the server. Please
1319 see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more information on allow/deny 'after time' syntax.
1320 Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen.

DH
1322- The server will now include multiple IA_NA's and multiple IAADDRs within
1323 them, if advertised by the client. It still only seeks to allocate one
1324 new address.

1328- Use different paths for PID and lease files when running in DHCPv4
1329 or DHCPv6 mode, so that servers for both protcols can be run
1330 simultaneously on a single interface.

1340- The peer_wants_leases() changes pulled up from 3.1.0 were corrected,
1341 'never used' leases will no longer consistently shift between servers
1342 on every pool rebalance run.

884a458f
SK
1352- The DHCP server no longer requires a "ddns-update-style" statement,
1353 and now defaults to "none", which means DNS updates are disabled.

1366 "-Werror" (unused variable) rather than the actual test failure. Lead
1367 to inconsistent and unworkable auto-configurations.

1374- DHCPv6 server Confirm message processing has been enhanced - it no
1375 longer replies only to clients with host {} records, it now replies
1376 as directed in RFC3315 section 18.2.2 - that is, to all clients
1377 regardless of the existence of bindings.

1379- A core dump during expired lease cleanup has been repaired.
1380
7285af30
DH
1381- DDNS updates state information are now stored in 'binding scopes' that
1382 follow the leases through their lifecycles. This enables DDNS teardowns
1383 on leases that are assigned and expired inbetween a server restart (the
1384 state is recovered from dhcpd.leases). Arbitrary user-specified binding
1385 scopes ('set var = "value";') are not yet supported.

1480- DHCPv4 I/O methods that failed to sense hardware address were corrected.

1485- Corrected a segmentation violation in DHCPv4 socket processing.
1486
8ea19a71 1487- dhclient will now fork() into the background once it binds to an

1499 Changes since 3.1.0 (NEW FEATURES)
1500
1501- DHCPv6 Client and Server protocol support. Use '-6' to run the daemons
1502 as v6-only. Use '-4' to run the daemons as v4-only (default. There is
1503 no support currently for both.
1504
1505- Server support for multiple IA_NA options, containing at most one
1506 IAADDR option.
1507
1508- Client support for one IA_NA option, containing any number of IAADDR
1509 options.
1510
1511- Server support for the DHCPv6 Information-request message.
1512
1513- Inappropriate unicast DHCPv6 messages sent to the server are now
1514 discarded, and this has rearchitected the IO system slightly.
1515
1516- The DHCPv6 server DUID defaults to type 1, is persistently stored in
1517 the leases database, and can be over-ridden (either completely, or by
1518 specifying type 1 or type 2).
1519
1520- The server only uses Rapid-Commit if it has been configured with the
1521 Rapid-Commit option and the client requests it.
1522
1523- DDNS support. We now update AAAA records in the same place we would
1524 update A records, if we have an IPv6 address. We also generate IP6.ARPA
1525 style names for PTR records if we're dealing with an IPv6 address. Both
1526 A and AAAA updates are done using the same 'fqdn.' virtual option space
1527 (although the DHCPv4 FQDN and DHCPv6 FQDN options are formatted
1528 differently, they both use the same code here).
1529
1530- The Linux dhclient-script attempts to set and remove assigned addresses,
1531 and to configure /etc/resolv.conf from nameserver and domain name
1532 configurations. It can be extended to configure other parameters.
1533
1534- Initial DHCPv6 lease support.
1535
1536- The IO system now tracks all local IP addresses, so that the DHCP
1537 applications (particularly the dhcrelay) can discern between what frames
1538 were transmitted to it, and what frames are being carried through it which
1539 it should not intercept.
1540

DH
1541 Changes since 3.1.0 (Maintenance)
1542
1543- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for virgin leases always
1544 mapped to the primary. Virgin leases now have an interleaved preference
1545 between primary and secondary.
1546
1547- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for clients with no client
1548 identifier was sometimes mishashed to the peer. Load balancing during
1549 runtime and pool rebalancing were opposing.
1550
aa3e348e
DH
1551- An assertion in lease counting relating to reserved leases was repaired.
1552
e9c59645
DH
1553- The subnet-mask option inclusion now conforms with RFC2132 section 3.3;
1554 it will only appear prior to the routers option if it is present on the
1555 Parameter-Request-List. The subnet-mask option will also only be
1556 included by default (if it is not on the PRL) in response to DISCOVER
1557 or REQUEST messages.
1558
1559- The FQDN option is only supplied if the client supplied an FQDN option or
1560 if the FQDN option was explicitly requested on the PRL.

DH
1569 Changes since 3.1.0b2
1570
1571- Failover rebalance events no longer play ping pong with round errors
1572 (moving leases between free and back to backup where there are an
1573 odd number of leases).
1574
1575- The 'pool' log line has been split into two messages, one before the
1576 rebalance run, and one after.
1577
1578- Any queued BNDACKs are transmitted before transmitting new BNDUPDs.
1579 This enforces the correct sequence of events for the remote server
1580 processing these messages.

1585 objects.
1586
1ba87b37
EH
1587- A new server config option "fqdn-reply" specifies whether the server
1588 should send out option 81 (FQDN). Defaults to "on". If set to "off",
1589 the FQDN option is not sent, even if the client requested it. This is
1590 needed because some clients misbehave otherwise. Thanks to Christof Chen
1591 at Allianz.

1593- Allow trace output files (-tf option) to be overwritten, rather than
1594 crashing dhcpd if the file already exists
1595

1599- Some uninitialized values were repaired in dhcpleasequery.c that
1600 caused the server to abort.
1601
4d2eaafb
DH
1602- A new server config option, 'do-reverse-updates', has been added
1603 which causes the server to abstain from performing updates on PTR
1604 records. Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen at Allianz.

1636 hash table was repaired.
1637
616d67cb
DH
1638- The servers now try harder to transmit pending binding updates when
1639 entering normal state.
1640
1641- UPDREQ/UPDREQALL handling was optimized - it no longer dequeues and
1642 requeues all pending updates. This should reduce the number of spurious
66c8f734
DH
1643 'xid mismatch' log messages.
1644
1645- An option definition referencing leak was fixed, which resulted in early
1646 termination of dhclient upon the renewal event.
616d67cb 1647
6708d944
DH
1648- Some default hash table sizes were tweaked, some upwards, some downwards.
1649 3.1.0a1's tables resulted in a reduction in default server memory use.
1650 The new selected values provide more of a zero sum (increasing the size
1651 of tables likely to be populated, decreasing the size of tables unlikely).
1652
45d545f0 1653- Lease structures appear in three separate hashes: by IP address, by UID,
6708d944
DH
1654 and by hardware address. One type of table was used for all three, and
1655 improvements to IP address hashing were applied to all three (so UID and
1656 hardware addresses were treated like 4-byte integers). There are now two
1657 types of tables, and the uid/hw hashes use functions more appropriate
1658 to their needs.
1659
1660- The max-lease-misbalance percentage no longer causes scheduled rebalance
1661 runs to be skipped: it still governs the schedule, but every scheduled
1662 run will attempt balance.
1663
a7ee93fe
DH
1664- A segfault bug in recursive encapsulation support has been corrected.

DH
1666 Changes since 3.0 (New Features)
1667
1668- A workaround for certain STSN servers that send a mangled domain-name
1669 option was introduced for dhclient. The client will now accept corrupted
1670 server responses, if they contain a valid DHCP_MESSAGE_TYPE (OFFER, ACK,
1671 or NAK). The server will continue to not accept corrupt client packets.
1672
98bd7ca0 1673- Support for 'reserved' (pseudo-static) and BOOTP leases via failover
a55ccdd0 1674 was introduced.
98311e4b
DH
1675
1676- Support for adding, removing, and managing class and subclass statements
1677 via OMAPI.
1678
a55ccdd0
DH
1679- The failover implementation was updated to comply with revision 12 of
1680 the protocol draft.
1681
98311e4b
DH
1682- 'make install' now creates the initial zero-length dhcpd.leases file if
1683 one does not already exist on the system.
1684
b43c87ad 1685- RFC3942 compliance, site-local option spaces start at 224 now, not 128.
b43c87ad 1686
0b17f049
DH
1687- The Load Balance Algorithm was misimplemented. The current implementation
1688 matches RFC 3074.
1689
2727c1cf
DH
1690- lcase() and ucase() configuration expressions have been added which adjust
1691 their arguments from upper to lower and lower to upper cases respectively.
2714a8ef 1692 Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
2727c1cf 1693
febbd402
DH
1694- The dhclient 'reject ...;' statement, which rejects leases given by named
1695 server-identifiers, now permits address ranges to be specified in CIDR
7d7073e7 1696 notation. Thanks to a patch from David Boyce.
febbd402 1697
ee912528
DH
1698- The subnet-mask option is now supplied by default, but at lowest
1699 priority. This helps a small minority of clients that provide parameter
1700 request lists, but do not list the subnet-mask option because they were
1701 designed to interoperate with a server that behaves in this manner.
1702
1703- The FQDN option is similarly supplied even if it does not appear on the
1704 parameter request list, but not to the exclusion of options that do
1705 appear at the parameter request list. Up until now it had ultimate
1706 priority over the client's parameter request list.
1707
f7fdb216 1708- Varying option space code and length bit widths (8/16/32) are now
51202707 1709 supported. This is a milestone in achieving RFC 3925 "VIVSO" and
f7fdb216
DH
1710 DHCPv6 support.
1711
5e864416
DH
1712- A new common (server or client) option, 'db-time-format local;', has
1713 been added which prints the local time in /var/db/dhcpd.leases rather
1714 than UTC. Thanks to a patch from Ken Lalonde.
1715
b500bd4c
DH
1716- Some patches to improve DHCP Server startup speed from Andrew Matheson
1717 have been incorporated.
1718
2426234f
DH
1719- Failover pairs now implement 'MAC Affinity' on leases moving from the
1720 active to free states. Leases that belonged to the failover secondary
1721 are moved to BACKUP state rather than FREE upon exiting EXPIRED state.
1722 If lease rebalancing must move leases, it tries first to move leases
1723 that belong to the peer in need.
1724
1725- The server no longer sends POOLREQ messages unless the pool is severely
1726 misbalanced in the peer's favor (see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more details).
1727
1728- Pool rebalance events no longer happen upon successfully allocating a
1729 lease. Instead, they happen on a schedule. See 'man dhcpd.conf' for the
1730 min-balance and max-balance statements for more information.
1731
334bf491
DH
1732- The DHCP Relay Agent Information Option / Link Selection Sub-Option
1733 is now supported. (See RFC3527 for details).
1734
3004bebf
DH
1735- A new DDNS related server option, update-conflict-detection, has been
1736 added. If this option is enabled, dhcpd will perform normal DHCID
1737 conflict resolution (the default). If this option is disabled, it will
1738 instead trust the assigned name implicitly (removing any other bindings
1739 on that name). This option has not been made available in dhclient.
1740
567e8561
DH
1741- In those cases where the DHCP software manufactures an IP header (to
1742 transmit via bpf, lpf, etc), the IP TTL the software selects has been
1743 increased from 16 to 128. This is intended to match Microsoft Windows
1744 DHCP Client behaviour, to increase compatibility.
1745
a396d25f
DH
1746- 'ignore client-updates;' now has behaviour that is different from
1747 'deny client-updates;'. The client's request is not truly ignored,
1748 rather it is encouraged. Should this value be configured, the server
1749 updates DNS as though client-updates were set to 'deny'. That is, it
1750 enters into DNS whatever it is configured to do already, provided it is
1751 configured to. Then it sends a response to the client that lets the
1752 client believe it is performing client updates (which it will), probably
1753 for a different name. In essence, this lets the client do as it will,
1754 ignoring this aspect of their request.
1755
dba5803b
DH
1756- Support for compressed 'domain name list' style DHCP option contents, and
1757 in particular the domain search option (#119) was added.
1758
41e45067 1759- The DHCP LEASEQUERY protocol as defined in RFC4388 is now implemented.
6d103865
SK
1760 LEASEQUERY lets you query the DHCP server for information about a lease,
1761 using either an IP address, MAC address, or client identifier. Thanks
1762 to a patch from Justin Haddad.
1763
41e45067
DH
1764- DHCPD is now RFC2131 section 4.1 compliant (broadcast to all-ones ip and
1765 ethernet mac address) on the SCO platform specifically without any strange
1766 ifconfig hacks. Many thanks go to the Kroger Co. for donating the
1767 hardware and funding the development.
6d103865 1768
b543fea9
DH
1769- A new common configuration executable statement, execute(), has been
1770 added. This permits dhcpd or dhclient to execute a named external
1771 program with command line arguments specified from other configuration
1772 language. Thanks to a patch written by Mattias Ronnblom, gotten to us
1773 via Robin Breathe.
1774
b22de500
DH
1775- A new dhcp server option 'adaptive-lease-time-threshold' has been added
1776 which causes the server to substantially reduce lease-times if there are
1777 few (configured percentage) remaining leases. Thanks to a patch submitted
1778 from Christof Chen.
1779

SK
1780- Encapsulated option spaces within encapsulated option spaces is now
1781 formally supported.

DH
1783 Changes since 3.0.6rc1

1785- supersede_lease() now requeues leases in their respective hardware
1786 address hash bucket. This mirrors client identifier behaviour.

c1e6c832
DH
1788 Changes since 3.0.5
1789
f546c28b
DH
1790- Assorted fixes for broken network devices: Packet length is now
1791 determined from the IP header length field to finally calculate the
1792 UDP payload length, because some NIC drivers return more data than
5a22eb63 1793 they actually received.
f546c28b
DH
1794
1795- UDP packets are now stored in aligned data structures.
1796
c1e6c832
DH
1797- A logic error in omapi interface code was repaired that might result in
1798 incorrectly indicating 'up' state when any flags were set, rather than
23e10d37
DH
1799 specifically the INTERFACE_REQUESTED flag. Thanks to a patch from
1800 Jochen Voss which got to us via Andrew Pollock at Debian.
c1e6c832 1801
75ab3070
DH
1802- A reference leak on binding scopes set by ddns updates was repaired.
1803
d69fb6a8 1804- A memory leak in the minires_nsendsigned() function call was repaired.
23e10d37 1805 Effectively, this leaked ~176 bytes per DDNS update.
d69fb6a8 1806
02428754
DH
1807- In the case where an "L2" DHCP Relay Agent (one that does not set giaddr)
1808 was directly attached to the same broadcast domain as the DHCP server,
1809 the RFC3046 relay agent information option was not being returned to the
1810 relay in the server's replies. This was fixed; the dhcp server no longer
1811 requires the giaddr to reply with relay agent information. Note that
1812 this also improves compatibility with L2 devices that "intercept" DHCP
1813 packets and expect relay agent information even in unicast (renewal)
23e10d37
DH
1814 replies. Thanks to a patch from Pekka Silvonen.
1815
1816- A bug was fixed where the BOOTP header 'sname' field had a value, the
1817 copy written to persistent storage was actually the contents of the
1818 'file' field.
02428754 1819
ecde99a3
DH
1820- A bug was fixed where the nwip virtual option space was referencing
1821 the fqdn option's virtual option space's option cache.
1822
67674ffb
DH
1823- Timestamp parsing errors that indicated missing "minutes" fields rather
1824 than the actually missing "seconds" fields have been repaired thanks to
1825 a patch from Kevin Steves.
1826
830ebc4c
DH
1827- A grammar error in the dhclient.8 manpage was repaired thanks to a patch
1828 from Chris Wagner.
1829
c759db75
DH
1830- Several spelling typos were repaired, and some cross-references to other
1831 relevant documents were included in the manpages, thanks to a patch
1832 by Andrew Pollock which got to us via Tomas Pospisek.
1833
9aa3f3a5
DH
1834- Some bugs were fixed in the 'emergency relay agent options hologram'
1835 which is used to retain relay agent option contents from when the
1836 client was in INIT or REBIND states. This should solve problems where
1837 relay agent options were not echoed from the server, even when giaddr
1838 was set.
1839
3d0c598a
DH
1840- dhclient now closes its descriptor to dhclient.leases prior to executing
1841 dhclient-script. Thanks to a patch from Tomas Pospisek.
1842
d5b6835f
DH
1843- The server's "by client-id" and "by hardware address" hash table lists
1844 are now sorted according to the preference to re-allocate that lease to
1845 returning clients. This should eliminate pool starvation problems
1846 arising when "INIT" clients were given new leases rather than presently
1847 active ones.
1848
02428754 1849 Changes since 3.0.5rc1
0a73b7b6 1850
901306d5 1851- A bug was repaired in fixes to the dhclient, which sought to run the
0a73b7b6
SK
1852 dhclient-script with the 'EXPIRE' state should it receive a NAK in
1853 response to a REQUEST. The client now iterates the PREINIT state
1854 after the EXPIRE state, so that interfaces that might be configured
1855 'down' can be brought back 'up' and initialized.
1856
87a08ccc
DH
1857- DHCPINFORM handling for clients that properly set ciaddr and come to the
1858 server via a relay aget has been repaired.
1859
6da113fb
DH
1860 Changes since 3.0.4
1861
1862- A warning that host statements declared within subnet or shared-network
1863 scopes are actually global has been added.
1864
1865- The default minimum lease time (if min-lease-time was not specified)
1866 was raised from 0 to 300. 0 is not thought to be sensible, and is
1867 known to be damaging.
1868
1869- Added additional fatal error sanity checks surrounding lease binding
1870 state count calculations (free/active counts used for failover pool
1871 balancing).
1872
dcc557db
DH
1873- Some time value size fixes in 3.0.4 brought on from FreeBSD /usr/ports were
1874 misapplied to server values rather than client values. The server no longer
1875 advertises 8-byte lease-time options when on 64-bit platforms.
1876
1b2ab55f
DH
1877- A bug where leases not in ACTIVE state would get billed to billed classes
1878 (classes with lease limitations) was fixed. Non-active leases OFFERed
1879 to clients are no longer billed (but billing is checked before offering).
1880
e48891e8
DH
1881- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated in regard to the ddns-domainname
1882 configuration option - the default configuration and results should be
1883 more clear now.
1884
6cbc6629
DH
1885- If the dhclient were to receive a DHCPNAK while it was in the RENEW
1886 state (and consequently, had an active, 'bound' address and related
1887 configuration options), it would fail to 'tear down' this information
1888 before proceeding into INIT state. dhclient now iterates the dhclient-
1889 script with the 'EXPIRE' action to cause these teardowns prior to entering
1d3bfb17 1890 INIT state. Thanks to a patch from Chris Zimmerman.
6cbc6629 1891
c5fec5fa
DH
1892- The omapi.1 manpage had some formatting errors repaired thanks to a patch
1893 from Yoshihiko Sarumaru.
1894
33e1cb2b
DH
1895- A few lines of code that were failover-specific were moved within
1896 #if defined() clauses so that compilation without failover could be
1897 made possible.
1898
2bddf829
DH
1899- The log message emitted when the 'leased-address' value was not available
1900 in dhcpd.conf "executable statements" has been updated to be more helpful.
1901 Manpage information for this value has also been updated.
1902
87578987
DH
1903- Abandoned or dissociated (err condition) leases now remove any related
1904 dynamic dns bindings. Thanks to a patch from Patrick Schoo.
1905
e77c575f
DH
1906- Attempting to write a new lease file to replace a corrupt (due to
1907 encountering non-retryable errors during writing) lease file should
1908 no longer result in an infinite recursion.
1909
2178df03
DH
1910- Host declaration hardware addresses and client identifiers may only be
1911 configured once. dhcpd will now fail to load config files that specify
1912 multiple identifiers (previous versions would silently over-ride the
1913 value with the later configured value).
1914
d5341d9b
SK
1915- Several option codes that have been allocated since our last release
1916 have been named and documented.
1917
1918- Option names of the form "unknown-123" have been removed from the in-
1919 memory hash tables. In order to support options of these names that
1920 may appear in dhclient.leases or similar in previous versions, the
1921 parser will now find the new option code definition, or mock up a
1922 generic option code definition. This should result in a smooth
1923 transition from one name to the other, as the new name is used to
1924 write new output.
1925
6da113fb
DH
1926 Changes since 3.0.4rc1
1927
1928- The dhcp-options.5 manpage was updated to correct indentation errors
1929 thanks to a patch from Jean Delvare.
1930
1931 Changes since 3.0.4b3
1932
1933- Some manual pages were clarified pursuant to discussion on the dhcp-server
1934 mailing list.
1935
88cd8aca
DH
1936 Changes since 3.0.4b2
1937
45d545f0 1938- Null-termination sensing for certain clients that unfortunately require
88cd8aca
DH
1939 it in DHCPINFORM processing was repaired.
1940
1941- The host-name option and a few others were moved from "X" format to "t"
1942 format to be compatible with new NULL handling functions.
1943
1944- DHCPINFORM processing is a little more careful about return addressing
1945 its responses, or if responding via a relay. The INFORM related
1946 messages also log the 'effective client ip address' rather than the
1947 client's supplied ciaddr (since some clients produce null ciaddrs).
1948
1949- The server was inappropriately sending leases to the RESET state in the
1950 event that multiple active leases were found to match a singly-identified
1951 client. This was changed to RELEASED (by accepting a different, ACTIVE
1952 binding, the client is implicitly releasing its lease). This repairs a
1953 bug wherein secondary servers in failover pairs detecting this condition
1954 move leases to RESET, and primaries refuse to accept that state
1955 transition (properly).
1956
1957- The memset-after-dmalloc() changes made in 3.0.4b1 have been backed out.
1958
1959 Changes since 3.0.4b1
1960
1961- Command line parsing in omshell was repaired - it no longer closes
1962 STDIN after reading one line.
1963
1964- The resolver library no longer closes the /etc/resolv.conf file
1965 descriptor it opened twice.
1966
1967- Changes to trailing NULL removal in 't' option-atoms has been rethought,
1968 it now includes 'd' (domain name) types, and tries hard not to rewind an
1969 option beyond the start of the text field it is un-terminating.
1970
1971 Changes since 3.0.3
1972
1973- A DDNS update handling function was misusing the DNS error codes, rather
1974 than the internal generic result enumeration. The result is a confusing
1975 syslog line, logging the wrong condition.
1976
1977- The DHCP Server was not checking pool balance in the case where it brought
1978 a non-ACTIVE lease out of storage for a client that was returning to use
1979 a lease it once had long ago, and had since expired.
1980
1981- Failover peers no longer bother to look for free leases to allocate when
1982 they already found the client's ACTIVE lease. DISCOVERs are load balanced
98bd7ca0 1983 whether freely-allocated or not, unless the server doubts the peer has
88cd8aca
DH
1984 leases to allocate.
1985
1986- Fixed a bug in dhcrelay agent addition code that suppressed trailing
45d545f0 1987 PAD options - it was suppressing only one trailing PAD option, rather
88cd8aca
DH
1988 than the entire block of them.
1989
3a16098f
DH
1990! Fixed some unlikely overlapping-region memcpy() bugs in dhcrelay agent
1991 option addition and stripping code. Added a few sanity checks. Although
1992 highly improbable, due to requiring the reception of a DHCP datagram well
1993 in excess of all known to be used physical MTU limitations, it is possible
1994 this may have been used in a stack overflow security vulnerability. Thanks
1995 to a patch from infamous42md.
1996
1997! Added some sanity checks to OMAPI connection/authentication code.
1998 Although highly improbable, due to having to deliver in excess of 2^32
1999 bytes of data via the OMAPI channel, not to mention requiring dhcpd to
2000 be able to malloc() a memory region 2^32 bytes in size, it was possible
2001 this might have resulted in a heap overflow security vulnerability.
2002 Thanks to a patch from infamous42md.
88cd8aca
DH
2003
2004- dmalloc() memset()'s the non-debug (data) portion of the allocated
2005 memory to zero. Code that memset()'s the result returned by dmalloc() to
2006 zero is redundant. These redundancies were removed.
2007
2008- Some type declaration corrections to u_int16_t were made in common/tr.c
4b97eaff 2009 (Token Ring support) thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
88cd8aca
DH
2010
2011- A failover bug that was allowing leases that EXPIRED or were RELEASED
2012 where tsfp and tstp are identical timestamps to languish in these
2013 transitional states has been repaired. As a side effect, lease
2014 databases should be kept more consistent overall, not just for these
2015 transitional states.
2016
2017- If the lease db is deleted out from under the daemon, and it moves to rewrite
2018 the db, it will go ahead with the operation and move the new db into place
2019 once it detects the old db does not exist.
2020
2021- dhclient now ignores IRDA, SIT, and IEEE1394 network interfaces, as it
2022 is either nonsensical or (in the case of IEEE1394) is not known to support
2023 these interfaces. Thanks to Marius Gedminas and Andrew Pollock of Debian.
2024
2025- Some previously undocumented reasons for dhclient-script invoking has
45d545f0 2026 been documented in the dhclient-script.8 manpage.
88cd8aca
DH
2027
2028- Failover potential expiry calculations (TSTP) have been corrected. Results
2029 should be substantially more consistent, and proper given the constraints.
2030
2031- Adjusted lease state validation checks in potential-conflict, to
2032 account for possible clock skew similarly to normal state, and several
2033 previously illegal transitions were made legal (ex: active->released).
2034
2035- An impossible sanity check was removed from omapi/buffer.c, thanks to a
2036 patch from 'infamous42md'.
2037
2038- An OMAPI host/network byte order problem in lease time values has been
2039 repaired.
2040
2041- Several minor bugs, largely relating to treating 8-byte time values as
2042 4-byte entities, have been repaired after careful review of the FreeBSD
2043 ports collection's patch set. Thanks to the nameless entities who have
2044 contributed to the FreeBSD ports.
2045
2046- When writing a trace file, the file is now created with permissions 0600,
2047 to help administrators avoid accidentally publicising sensitive config
2048 data.
2049
2050- The calculation of the maximum size of DHCP packets no longer includes
2051 Ethernet framing overhead. The result is that the 'Maximum Message
2052 Size' option advertised by clients, or the default value 576, is no
2053 longer reduced by 14 bytes, and instead directly reflects the IP level
2054 MTU (and the default, minimum allowed IP MTU of 576).
2055
2056- The special status of RELEASED/EXPIRED/RESET leases when a server
2057 is operating in partner-down was fixed. It no longer requires a
2058 lease be twice the MCLT beyond STOS to 'reallocate', and the expiry
2059 event to turn these into FREE leases without peer acknowledgement
2060 (after STOS+MCLT) has been repaired.
2061
2062- Compilation on older Solaris systems (lacking /usr/include/sys/int_types.h)
2063 has been repaired.
2064
2065- "append"ing a string onto the end of a "t" type option (such as the
2066 domain-name field) that had been improperly NULL-terminated by the
2067 DHCP server will no longer result in a truncated string containing
2068 only the option from the server, and not the expected appended value.
4b97eaff 2069 Thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
88cd8aca
DH
2070
2071- File handlers on configuration state (config files and lease dbs) should
98bd7ca0 2072 be treated consistently, regardless of whether TRACING is defined or not.
88cd8aca 2073
45d545f0 2074- The Linux build environment has had some minor improvements - better
88cd8aca
DH
2075 sensing of 64-bit pointer sizes (only used for establishing an icmp_id),
2076 and corrections to #if operators regarding LINUX_MAJOR should it ever
2077 move to 3.[01].x.
2078
2079- The server now tries harder to survive the condition where it is unable
2080 to open a new lease file to rewrite the lease state database.

2082 Changes since 3.0.3b3
2083
2084- dhclient.conf documentation for interface {} was updated to reflect recent
2085 discussion on the dhcp-hackers mailing list.
2086
2087- In response to reports that the software does not compile on GCC 4.0.0,
2088 -Werror was removed from Makefile.conf for all platforms that used it.
2089 We will address the true problem in a future release; this is a temporary
2090 workaround.
2091
2092 Changes since 3.0.3b2
2093
2094- An error in code changes introduced in 3.0.3b2 was corrected, which caused
2095 static BOOTP clients to receive random addresses.
2096
2097 Changes since 3.0.3b1
2098
2099- A bug was fixed in BOOTPREQUEST handling code wherein stale references to
2100 host records would be left behind on leases that were not allocated to the
2101 client currently booting (eg in the case where the host was denied booting).
2102
2103- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated to be more clear in regards to
2104 multiple host declarations (thanks to Vincent McIntyre). 'Interim' style
2105 dynamic updates were also retouched.
2106
98311e4b
DH
2107 Changes since 3.0.2
2108
2109- A bug was fixed where a server might load balance a DHCP REQUEST to its
45d545f0 2110 peer after already choosing not to load balance the preceding DISCOVER.
98311e4b
DH
2111 The peer cannot allocate the originating server's lease.
2112
2113- In the case where a secondary server lost its stable storage while the
2114 primary was still in communications-interrupted, and came back online,
2115 the lease databases would not be fully transferred to the secondary.
2116 This was due to the secondary errantly sending an extra UPDREQ message
2117 when the primary made its state transition to PARTNER-DOWN known.
2118
2119- The package will now compile cleanly in gcc 3.3 and 3.4. As a side effect,
2120 lease structures will be 9 bytes smaller on all platforms. Thanks to
4b97eaff 2121 Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
2122
2123- Interface discovery code in DISCOVER_UNCONFIGURED mode is now
2124 properly restricted to only detecting broadcast interfaces. Thanks
4b97eaff 2125 to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
2126
2127- decode_udp_ip_header was changed so that the IP address was copied out
2128 to a variable, rather than referenced by a pointer. This enforces 4-byte
2129 alignment of the 32-bit IP address value. Thanks to a patch from Dr.
2130 Peter Poeml.
2131
2132- An incorrect log message was corrected thanks to a patch from
2133 Dr. Peter Poeml.
2134
2135- A bug in DDNS was repaired, where if the server's first DDNS action was
2136 a DDNS removal rather than a DDNS update, the resolver library's
2137 retransmit timer and retry timer was set to the default, implying a
2138 15 second timeout interval. Which is a little excessive in a synchronous,
2139 single-threaded system. In all cases, ISC DHCP should now hold fast to
2140 a 1-second timeout, trying only once.
2141
2142- The siaddr field was being improperly set to the server-identifier when
2143 responding to DHCP messages. RFC2131 clarified the siaddr field as
2144 meaning the 'next server in the bootstrap process', eg a tftp server.
2145 The siaddr field is now left zeroed unless next-server is configured.
2146
2147- mockup_lease() could have returned in an error condition (or in the
2148 condition where no fixed-address was found matching the shared
2149 network) with stale references to a host record. This is probably not
2150 a memory leak since host records generally never die anyway.
2151
2152- A bug was repaired where failover servers would let stale client identifiers
2153 persist on leases that were reallocated to new clients not sending an id.
2154
2155- Binding scopes ("set var = value;") are now removed from leases allocated
2156 by failover peers if the lease had expired. This should help reduce the
2157 number of stale binding scopes on leases.
2158
2159- A small memory leak was closed involving client identifiers larger than
2160 7 bytes, and failover.
2161
2162- Configuring a subnet in dhcpd.conf with a subnet mask of 32 bits might
2163 cause an internal function to overflow heap. Thanks to Jason Vas Dias
4b97eaff 2164 at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
2165
2166- Some inconsistencies in treating numbers that the lexer parsed as 'NUMBER'
2167 or 'NUMBER_OR_NAME' was repaired. Hexadecimal parsing is affected, and
2168 should work better.
2169
2170- In several cases, parse warnings were being issued before the lexical
2171 token had been advanced to the token whose value was causing an error...
2172 causing parse warnings to claim the problem is on the wrong token.
2173
2174- Host declarations matching on client identifier for dynamic leases will
2175 no longer match fixed-address host declarations (this is now identical
2176 to behaviour for host records matching on hardware address).
2177
2178 Changes since 3.0.2rc3
2179
2180- A previously undocumented configuration directive, 'local-address',
2181 was documented in the dhcpd.conf manpage.
2182
2183 Changes since 3.0.2rc2
2184
45d545f0 2185- Two variables introduced in 3.0.2b1 were used without being initialized
98311e4b
DH
2186 in the case where neither the FILE nor SNAME fields were available for
2187 overloading. This was repaired.
2188
2189- A heretofore believed to be impossible corner case of the option
2190 overloading implementation turned out to be possible ("Unable to sort
2191 overloaded options after 10 tries."). The implementation was reworked
2192 to consider the case of an option so large it would require more than
2193 three chunks to fit.
2194
2195- Many other instances of variables being used without being initialized
2196 were repaired.
2197
2198- An uninitialized variable in omapi_io_destroy() led to the discovery
2199 that this function may result in orphaned pointers (and hence, a memory
2200 leak).
2201
2202 Changes since 3.0.2rc1
2203
2204- allocate_lease() was rewritten to repair a bug in which the server would
2205 try to allocate an ABANDONED lease when FREE leases were available.
2206
2207 Changes since 3.0.2b1
2208
2209- Some dhcp-eval.5 manpage formatting was repaired.
2210
2211 Changes since 3.0.1
2212
2213- A bug was fixed in the server's 'option overloading' implementation,
2214 where options loaded into the 'file' and 'sname' packet fields were
2215 not aligned precisely as rfc2131 dictates.
2216
2217- The FreeBSD client script was changed to support the case where a domain
2218 name was not provided by the server.
2219
2220- A memory leak in 'omshell' per each command line parsed was
2221 repaired, thanks to a patch from Jarkko Torppa.
2222
2223- Log functions writing to stderr were adjusted to use the STDERR_FILENO
2224 system definition rather than '2'. This is a no-op for 90% of platforms.
2225
2226- One call to trace_write_packet_iov() counted the number of io vectors
2227 incorrectly, causing inconsistent tracefiles. This was fixed.
2228
2229- Some expression parse failure memory leaks were closed.
2230
2231- A host byte order problem in tracefiles was repaired.
2232
2233- Pools configured in DHCPD for failover possessing permission lists that
2234 previously were assumed to not include dyanmic bootp clients are now
2235 a little more pessimistic. The result is, dhcpd will nag you about just
2236 about most pools that possess a 'allow' statement with no 'deny' that
2237 would definitely match a dynamic bootp client.
2238
2239- The 'ddns-update-style' configuration warning bit now insists that
2240 the configuration be globally scoped.
2241
2242- Two memory leaks in dhclient were closed thanks to a patch from Felix
2243 Farkas.
2244
2245- Some minor but excellently pedantic documentation errors were fixed
2246 thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
2247
2248- Bugs in operator precedence in executable statements have been repaired
2249 once again. More legal syntaxes should be parsed legally.
2250
2251- Failing to initialize a tracefile for any reason if a tracefile was
2252 specified is now a fatal error. Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
2253
2254- Corrected a bug in which the number of leases transferred as calculated
2255 by the failover primary and sent to peers in POOLRESP responses may be
2256 incorrect. This value is not believed to be used by other failover
2257 implementations, excepting perhaps as logged information.
2258
2259- Corrected a bug in which 'dhcp_failover_send_poolresp()' was in fact
2260 sending POOLREQ messages instead of POOLRESP mesasges. This message
2261 was essentially ignored since failover secondaries effectively do not
2262 respond to POOLREQ messages.
2263
2264- Type definitions for various bitwidths of integers in the sunos5-5
2265 build of ISC DHCP have been fixed. It should compile and run more
2266 easily when built in 64-bit for this platform.
2267
2268- "allow known-clients;" is now a legal syntax, to avoid confusion.
2269
2270- If one dhcp server chooses to 'load balance' a request to its failover
2271 peer, it first checks to see if it believes said peer has a free
2272 lease to allocate before ignoring the DISCOVER.
2273
2274- log() was logging a work buffer, rather than the value returned by
2275 executing the statements configured by the user. In some cases,
2276 the work buffer and the intended results were the same. In some other
2277 cases, they were not. This was fixed thanks to a patch from Gunnar
2278 Fjone and directconnect.no.
2279
2280- Compiler warnings for some string type conversions was fixed, thanks
2281 to Andreas Gustafsson.
2282
2283- The netbsd build environments were simplified to one, in which
2284 -Wconversion is not used, thanks to Andreas Gustafsson.
2285
2286- How randomness in the backoff-cutoff dhclient configuration variable
2287 is implemented was better documented in the manpage, and the behaviour
2288 of dhclient in REQUEST timeout handling was changed to match that of
2289 DISCOVER timeout handling.
2290
2291- Omapi was hardened against clients that pass in null values, thanks
2292 to a patch from Mark Jason Dominus.
2293
2294- A bug was fixed in dhclient that kept it from doing client-side
2295 ddns updates. Thanks to a patch from Andreas Gustafsson, which
2296 underwent some modification after review by Jason Vas Dias.
2297
2298- Failover implementations disconnected due to the network between
2299 them (rather than one of the two shutting down) will now try to
2300 re-establish the failover connection every 5 seconds, rather than
2301 to simply try once and give up until one of them is restarted.
2302 Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from Infoblox, and field testing
2303 by Greger V. Teigre which led to an enhancement to it.
2304
2305- A problem that kept DHCP Failover secondaries from tearing down
2306 ddns records was repaired. Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from
2307 Infoblox.
2308
2309- 64bit pointer sizes are detected properly on FreeBSD now.
2310
2311- A bug was repaired where the DHCP server would leave stale references
2312 to host records on leases it once thought about offering to certain
2313 clients. The result would be to apply host and 'known' scopes to the
2314 wrong clients (possibly denying booting). NOTE: The 'mis-host' patch
2315 that was being circulated as a workaround is not the way this bug was
2316 fixed. If you were a victim of this bug in 3.0.1, you are cautioned
2317 to proceed carefully and see if it fixes your problem.
2318
2319- A bug was repaired in the server's DHCPINFORM handling, where it
2320 tried to divine the client's address from the source packet and
2321 would get it wrong. Thanks to Anshuman Singh Rawat.
2322
2323- A log message was introduced to help illuminate the case where the
2324 server was unable to find a lease to assign to any BOOTP client.
2325 Thanks to Daniel Baker.
2326
2327- A minor dhcpd.conf.5 manpage error was fixed.
2328
2329 Changes since 3.0.1rc14
2330
2331- The global variable 'cur_time' was centralized and is now uniformly of a
2332 type #defined in system-dependent headers. It had previously been defined
2333 in one of many places as a 32-bit value, and this causes mayhem on 64-bit
2334 big endian systems. It probably wasn't too healthy on little endian
2335 systems either.
2336
2337- A printf format string error introduced in rc14 was repaired.
2338
2339- AIX system-dependent header file was altered to only define NO_SNPRINTF
2340 if the condition used to #ifdef in vsnprintf in AIX' header files
2341 is false.
2342
2343- The Alpha/OSF system-dependent header file was altered to define
2344 NO_SNPRINTF on OS revisions older than 4.0G.
2345
2346- omapip/test.c had string.h added to its includes.
2347
2348 Changes since 3.0.1rc13
2349
2350! CAN-2004-0460 - CERT VU#317350: Five stack overflow exploits were closed
2351 in logging messages with excessively long hostnames provided by the
2352 clients. It is highly probable that these could have been used by
2353 attackers to gain arbitrary root access on systems using ISC DHCP 3.0.1
2354 release candidates 12 or 13. Special thanks to Gregory Duchemin for
2355 both finding and solving the problem.
2356
2357! CAN-2004-0461 - CERT VU#654390: Once the above was closed, an opening
45d545f0 2358 in log_*() functions was evidenced, on some specific platforms where
98311e4b
DH
2359 vsnprintf() was not believed to be available and calls were wrapped to
2360 sprintf() instead. Again, credit goes to Gregory Duchemin for finding
2361 the problem. Calls to snprintf() are now linked to a distribution-local
2362 snprintf implementation, only in those cases where the architecture is
2363 not known to provide one (see includes/cf/[arch].h). If you experience
2364 linking problems with snprintf/vsnprintf or 'isc_print_' functions, this
2365 is where to look. This vulnerability did not exist in any previously
2366 published version of ISC DHCP.
2367
2368- Compilation on hpux 11.11 was repaired.
2369
2370- 'The cross-compile bug fix' was backed out.
2371
2372 Changes since 3.0.1rc12
2373
2374- Fixed a bug in omapi lease lookup function, to form the hardware
2375 address for the hash lookup correctly, thanks to a patch from
2376 Richard Hirst.
2377
2378- Fixed a bug where dhcrelay was sending relayed responses back to the
2379 broadcast address, but with the source's unicast mac address. Should
2380 now conform to rfc2131 section 4.1.
2381
2382- Cross-compile bug fix; use $(AR) instead of ar. Thanks to Morten Brorup.
2383
2384- Fixed a crash bug in dhclient where dhcpd servers that do not provide
2385 renewal times results in an FPE. As a side effect, dhclient can now
2386 properly handle 0xFFFFFFFF (-1) expiry times supplied by servers. Thanks
2387 to a patch from Burt Silverman.
2388
2389- The 'ping timeout' debugs from rc12 were removed to -DDEBUG only,
45d545f0 2390 and reformatted to correct a compilation error on Solaris platforms.
98311e4b
DH
2391
2392- A patch was applied which fixes a case where leases read from the
2393 leases database do not properly over-ride previously read leases.
2394
2395- dhcpctl.3 manpage was tweaked.
2396
2397 Changes since 3.0.1rc11
2398
2399- A patch from Steve Campbell was applied with minor modifications to
2400 permit reverse dns PTR record updates with values containing spaces.
2401
2402- A patch from Florian Lohoff was applied with some modifications to
2403 dhcrelay. It now discards packets whose hop count exceeds 10 by default,
2404 and a command-line option (-c) can be used to set this threshold.
2405
2406- A failover bug relating to identifying peers by name length instead of
2407 by name was fixed.
2408
45d545f0 2409- Declaring failover configs within shared-network statements should no
98311e4b
DH
2410 longer result in error.
2411
2412- The -nw command line option to dhclient now works.
2413
2414- Thanks to a patch from Michael Richardson:
2415 - Some problems with long option processing have been fixed.
2416 - Some fixes to minires so that updates of KEY records will work.
2417
2418- contrib/ms2isc was updated by Shu-Min Chang of the Intel Corporation.
2419 see contrib/ms2isc/readme.txt for revision notes.
2420
2421- Dhclient no longer uses shell commands to kill another instance of
2422 itself, it sends the signal directly. Thanks to a patch from Martin
2423 Blapp.
2424
2425- The FreeBSD dhclient-script was changed so that a failure to write to
2426 /etc/resolv.conf does not prematurely end the script. This keeps dhclient
2427 from looping infinitely when this is the case. Thanks to a patch from
2428 Martin Blapp.
2429
2430- A patch from Bill Stephens was applied which resolves a problem with lease
2431 expiry times in failover configurations.
2432
2433- A memory leak in configuration parsing was closed thanks to a patch from
2434 Steve G.
2435
2436- The function which discovers interfaces will now skip non-broadcast or
2437 point-to-point interfaces, thanks to a patch from David Brownlee.
2438
2439- Options not yet known by the dhcpd or dhclient have had their names
2440 changed such that they do not contain # symbols, in case they should ever
2441 appear in a lease file. An option that might have been named "#144" is
2442 now "unknown-144".
2443
2444- Another patch from Bill Stephens which allows the ping-check timeout to
2445 be configured as 'ping-timeout'. Defaults to 1.
2446
2447 Changes since 3.0.1rc10
2448
2449- Potential buffer overflows in minires repaired.
2450
2451- A change to the linux client script to use /bin/bash, since /bin/sh may
2452 not be bash.
2453
2454- Some missing va_end cleanups thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
2455
2456- A correction of boolean parsing syntax validation - some illegal syntaxes
2457 that worked before are now detected and produce errs, some legal syntaxes
2458 that errored before will now work properly.
2459
2460- Some search-and-replace errors that caused some options to change their
2461 names was repaired.
2462
2463- Shu-min Chang of the Intel corporation has contributed a perl script and
2464 module that converts the MS NT4 DHCP configuration to a ISC DHCP3
2465 configuration file.
2466
2467- Applied the remainder of the dhcpctl memory leak patch provided by Bill
2468 Squier at ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
2469
2470- Missing non-optional failover peer configurations will now result in a soft
2471 error rather than a null dereference.
2472
2473 Changes since 3.0.1rc9
2474
2475- A format string was corrected to fix compiler warnings.
2476
2477- A number of spelling corrections were made in the man pages.
2478
2479- The dhclient.conf.5 man page was changed to refer to do-forward-updates
2480 rather than a configuration option that doesn't exist.
2481
2482- A FreeBSD-specific bug in the interface removal handling was fixed.
2483
2484- A Linux-specific Token Ring detection problem was fixed.
2485
2486- Hashes removed from as-yet-unknown agent options, having those options
2487 appear in reality before we know about them will no longer produce
2488 self-corrupting lease databases.
2489
2490- dhclient will use the proper port numbers now when using the -g option.
2491
2492- A order-of-operations bug with 2 match clauses in 1 class statement is
2493 fixed thanks to a patch from Andrew Matheson.
2494
2495- Compilation problems on Solaris were fixed.
2496
2497- Compilation problems when built with DEBUG or DEBUG_PACKET were repaired.
2498
2499- A fix to the dhcp ack process which makes certain group options will be
2500 included in the first DHCPOFFER message was made thanks to a patch from
2501 Ling Gou.
2502
2503- A few memory leaks were repaired thanks to patches from Bill Squier at
2504 ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
2505
2506- A fix for shared-networks that sometimes give clients options for the
2507 wrong subnets (in particular, 'option routers') was applied, thanks to
2508 Ted Lemon for the patch.
2509
2510- Omshell's handling of dotted octets as values was changed such that dots
2511 one after the other produce zero values in the integer string.
2512
2513 Changes since 3.0.1rc8
2514
2515- Fix a format string vulnerability in the server that could lead to a
2516 remote root compromise (discovered by NGSEC Research Team, www.ngsec.com).
2517
2518- Add additional support for NetBSD/sparc64.
2519
2520- Fix a bug in the command-line parsing of the client. Also, resolve
2521 a memory leak.
2522
2523- Add better support for shells other than bash in the Linux client
2524 script.
2525
2526- Various build fixes for modern versions of FreeBSD and Linux.
2527
2528- Fix a bad bounds check when printing binding state names.
2529
2530- Clarify documentation about fixed-address and multiple addresses.
2531
2532- Fix a typo in the authoritative error message.
2533
2534- Make a log entry when we can't write a billing class.
2535
2536- Use conversion targets that are the right size on all architectures.
2537
2538- Increment the hop count when relaying.
2539
2540- Log a message when lease state is changed through OMAPI.
2541
2542- Don't rerun the shared_network when evaluating the pool.
2543
2544- Fix a reversed test in the parser.
2545
2546- Change the type of rbuf_max.
2547
2548- Make FTS_LAST a manifest constant to quiet warnings.
2549
2550 Changes since 3.0.1rc7
2551
2552- Fix two compiler warnings that are generated when compiling on Solaris
2553 with gcc. These stop the build, even though they weren't actually
2554 errors, because we prefer that our builds generate no warnings.
2555
2556 Changes since 3.0.1rc6
2557
2558- Don't allow a lease that's in the EXPIRED, RELEASED or RESET state
2559 to be renewed.
2560
2561- Implement lease stealing for cases where the primary has fewer leases
2562 than the secondary, as called for by the standard.
2563
2564- Add a fudge factor to the lease expiry acceptance code, (suggested
2565 by Kevin Miller of CMU).
2566
2567- Fix a bug in permit_list_match that made it much too willing to say
2568 that two permit lists matched.
2569
2570- Unless DEBUG_DNS_UPDATES is defined, print more user-friendly (and
2571 also more compact) messages about DNS updates.
2572
2573- Fix a bug in generating wire-format domain names for the FQDN option.
2574
2575- Fix a bug where the FQDN option would not be returned if the client
2576 requested it, contrary to the standard.
2577
2578- On Darwin, use the FreeBSD DHCP client script.
2579
2580- On NetBSD/sparc, don't check for casting warnings.
2581
2582- Add a flag in the DHCP client to disable updating the client's A
2583 record when sending an FQDN option indicating that the client is
2584 going to update its A record.
2585
2586- In the client, don't attempt a DNS update until one second after
2587 configuring the new IP address, and if the update times out, keep
2588 trying until a response, positive or negative, is received from the
2589 DNS server.
2590
2591- Fix an uninitialized memory bug in the DHCP client.
2592
2593- Apply some FreeBSD-specific bug fixes suggested by Murray Stokely.
2594
2595- Fix a bug in ns_parserr(), where it was returning the wrong sort
2596 of result code in some cases (suggested by Ben Harris of the
2597 NetBSD project).
2598
2599- Fix a bug in is_identifier(), where it was checking against EOF
2600 instead of the END_OF_FILE token (also suggested by Ben Harris).
2601
2602- Fix a bug where if an option universe contained no options, the
2603 DHCP server could dump core (Walter Steiner).
2604
2605- Fix a bug in the handling of encapsulated options.
2606
2607- Fix a bug that prevented NWIP suboptions from being processed.
2608
2609- Delete the FTS_BOOTP and FTS_RESERVED states and implement them
2610 as modifier flags to the FTS_ACTIVE state, as called for in the
2611 failover protocol standard.
2612
2613- Fix bugs in the pool merging code that resulted in references and
2614 dereferences of null pointers. This bug had no impact unless the
2615 POINTER_DEBUG flag was defined.
2616
2617- In the server, added a do-forward-updates flag that can be used to
2618 disable forward updates in all cases, so that sites that want the
2619 clients to take sole responsibility for updating their A record can
2620 do so.
2621
2622- Make it possible to disable optimization of PTR record updates.
2623
2624 Changes since 3.0.1rc5
2625
2626- Include some new documentation and changes provided by Karl Auer.
2627
2628- Add a workaround for some Lexmark printers that send a double-NUL-
2629 terminated host-name option, which would break DNS updates.
2630
2631- Fix an off-by-one error in the MAC-address checking code for
2632 DHCPRELEASE that was added in 3.0.1rc5.
2633
2634- Fix a bug where client-specific information was not being discarded
2635 from the lease when it expired or was released, resulting in
2636 problems if the lease was reallocated to a different client.
2637
2638- If more than one allocation pool is specified that has the same set
2639 of constraints as another allocation pool on the same shared
2640 network, merge the two pools.
2641
2642- Don't print an error in fallback_discard, since this just causes
2643 confusion and does not appear to be helping to encourage anyone to
2644 fix this bug.
2645
2646 Changes since 3.0.1rc4
2647
2648- Fix a bug that would cause the DHCP server to spin if asked to parse
2649 a certain kind of incorrect statement.
2650
2651- Fix a related bug that would prevent an error from being reported in
2652 the same case.
2653
2654- Additional documentation.
2655
2656- Make sure that the hardware address matches the lease when
2657 processing a DHCPRELEASE message.
2658
2659 Changes since 3.0.1rc3
2660
2661- A minor bug fix in the arguments to a logging function call.
2662- Documentation update for dhcpd.conf.
2663
adbef119 2664 Changes since 3.0.1rc2

DH
2665
2666- Allow the primary to send a POOLREQ message. This isn't what the current
2667 failover draft says to do, so we may have to back it out if I can't get the
2668 authors to relent, but the scheme for balancing that's specified in the
2669 current draft seems needlessly hairy, so I'm floating a trial balloon.
2670 The rc1 code did not implement the method described in the draft either.
2671
adbef119 2672 Changes since 3.0.1rc1
98311e4b
DH
2673
2674- Treat NXDOMAIN and NXRRSET as success when we are trying to delete a
2675 domain or RRSET. This allows the DHCP server to forget about a name
2676 it added to the DNS once it's been removed, even if the DHCP server
2677 wasn't the one that removed it.
2678
2679- Install defaults for failover maximum outstanding updates and maximum
2680 silent time. This prevents problems that might occur if these values
2681 were not configured.
2682
2683- Don't do DDNS deletes if ddns-update-style is none.
2684
2685- Return relay agent information options in DHCPNAK. This prevents DHCPNAK
2686 messages from being dropped when the relay agent information option contains
2687 routing information.
2688
2689- Fix a problem where coming up in recover wouldn't result in an update
2690 request being sent.
2691
2692- Add some more chatty messages when we start a recovery update and when it's
2693 done.
2694
2695- Fix a possible problem where some state might have been left around
2696 after the peer lost contact and regained contact about how many updates
2697 were pending.
2698
2699- Don't nix a lease update because of a lease conflict. This test has
2700 never (as far as I know) prevented a mistake, and it appears to cause
2701 problems with failover.
2702
2703- Add support in rc history code for keeping a selective history, rather
2704 than a history of all references and dereferences. This code is only used
2705 when extensive additional debugging is enabled.
2706
adbef119 2707 Changes since 3.0

DH
2708
2709- Make allocators for hash tables. As a side effect, this fixes a memory
2710 smash in the subclass allocation code.
2711
2712- Fix a small bug in omshell where if you try to close an object when
2713 no object is open, it dumps core.
2714
2715- Fix an obscure coredump that could occur on shutdown.
2716
2717- Fix a bug in the recording of host declaration rubouts in the lease file.
2718
2719- Fix two potential spins in the host deletion code.
2720
2721- Fix a core dump that would happen if an application tried to update
2722 a host object attribute with a null value.
2723
2724 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 12
2725
2726- Fix a memory leak in the evaluation code.
2727
2728- Fix an obscure core dump.
2729
2730- Print a couple of new warnings when parsing the configuration file
2731 when crucial information is left out.
2732
2733- Log "no free leases" as an error.
2734
2735- Documentation updates.
2736
2737 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 11
2738
2739- Always return a subnet selection option if one is sent.
2740
2741- Fix a warning that was being printed because an automatic data
2742 structure wasn't zeroed.
2743
2744- Fix some failover state transitions that were being handled
2745 incorrectly.
2746
2747- When supersede_lease is called on a lease whose end time has already
2748 expired, but for which a state transition has not yet been done, do
2749 a state transition. This fixes the case where if the secondary
2750 allocated a lease to a client and the lease "expired" while the
2751 secondary was in partner-down, no expiry event would actually
2752 happen, so the lease would remain active until the primary was
2753 restarted.
2754
2755 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 10
2756
2757- Fix a bug that was preventing released leases from changing state
2758 in failover-enabled pools.
2759
2760- Fix a core dump in the client identifier finder code (for host
2761 declarations).
2762
2763- Finish fixing a bug where bogus data would sometimes get logged to
2764 the dhclient.leases file because it was opened as descriptor 2.
2765
2766- Fix the Linux dhclient-script according to suggestions made by
2767 several people on the dhcp-client mailing list.
2768
2769- Log successful DNS updates at LOG_INFO, not LOG_ERROR.
2770
2771- Print an error message and refuse to run if a failover peer is
2772 defined but not referenced by any pools.
2773

2789
2790- Fix a parsing bug that broke dns updates (both interim and ad-hoc).
2791 This was introduced in rc8pl1 as an unintended result of the memory
2792 leakage fixes that were in pl1.
2793
2794- Fix a long-standing bug where the server would record that an update
2795 had been done for a client with no name, even though no update had
2796 been done, and then when the client's lease expired the deletion of
2797 that nonexistant record would time out because the name was the null
2798 string.
2799
2800- Clean up the omshell, dhcpctl and omapi man pages a bit.

2805 one-lease-per-client was enabled.
2806
2807- Fix a bug that was causing core dumps on BSD/os in the presence of
2808 malformed packets.
2809
2810- In partner-down state, don't restrict lease lengths to MCLT.
2811
2812- On the failover secondary, record the MCLT received from the primary
2813 so that if we come up without a connection to the primary we don't
2814 wind up giving out zero-length leases.
2815
2816- Fix some compilation problems on BSD/os.
2817
2818- Fix a bunch of memory leaks.
2819
2820- Fix a couple of bugs in the option printer.
2821
2822- Fix an obscure error reporting bug in the dns update code, and also
2823 make the message clearer when a key algorithm isn't supported.
2824
2825- Fix a bug in the tracing code that prevented trace runs that used
2826 tcp connections from being played back.
2827
2828- Add some additional debugging capability for catching memory leaks
2829 on exit.
2830
2831- Make the client release the lease correctly on shutdown.
2832
2833- Add some configurability to the build system.
2834
2835- Install omshell manual page in man1, not man8.
2836
2837- Craig Gwydir sent in a patch that fixes a long-standing bug in the
2838 DHCP client that could cause core dumps, but that for some reason
2839 hadn't been noticed until now.
2840
2841 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 7
2842
2843- Fix a bug in failover where we weren't sending updates after a
2844 transition from communications-interrupted to normal.
2845
2846- Handle expired/released/reset -> free transition according to the
2847 protocol specification (this works - the other way not only wasn't
2848 conformant, but also didn't work).
2849
2850- Add a control object in both client and server that allows either
2851 daemon to be shut down cleanly.
2852
2853- When writing a lease, if we run out of disk space, shut down the
2854 output file and insist on writing a new one before proceeding.
2855
2856- In the server, if the OMAPI listener port is occupied, keep trying
2857 to get it, rather than simply giving up and exiting.
2858
2859- Support fetching variables from leases and also updating and adding
2860 variables to leases via OMAPI.
2861
2862- If two failover peers have wildly different clocks, refuse to start
2863 doing failover.
2864
2865- Fix a bug in the DNS update code that could cause core dumps when
2866 running on alpha processors.
2867
2868- Fixed a bug in ddns updates for static lease entries, thanks to a
2869 patch from Andrey M Linkevitch.
2870
2871- Add support for Darwin/MacOS X
2872
2873- Install omshell (including new documentation).
2874
2875- Support DNS updates in the client (this is a very obscure feature
2876 that most DHCP client users probably will not be able to use).
2877
2878- Somewhat cleaner status logging in the client.
2879
2880- Make OMAPI key naming syntax compatible with the way keys are
2881 actually named (key names are domain names).
2882
2883- Fix a bug in the lease file writer.
2884
2885- Install DHCP ISC headers in a different place than BIND 9 ISC
2886 headers, to avoid causing trouble in BIND 9 builds.
2887
2888- Don't send updates for attributes on an object when the attributes
2889 haven't changed. Support deleting attributes on remote objects.
2890
2891- Fix a number of bugs in omshell, and add the unset and refresh
2892 statements.
2893
2894- Handle disconnects in OMAPI a little bit more intelligently (so that
2895 the caller gets ECONNRESET instead of EINVAL).
2896
2897- Fix a bunch of bugs in the handling of clients that have existing
2898 leases when the try to renew their leases while failover is
2899 operating.
2900

2901 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 6

2904 a client that had a host declaration that contained both a
2905 fixed-address declaration and a dhcp-client-identifier option
2906 declaration, if the client identifier was longer than nine bytes.
2907
2908- Fix a memory leak that could happen in certain obscure cases when
2909 using omapi to manipulate leases.

TL
2913 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 5
2914
2915- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that prevented objects in
2916 chains from having their reference counts decreased on dereference.
2917
2918- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that would prevent object
2919 chains from being freed upon removal of the last reference external
2920 to the chain.
2921
2922- Fix a number of other memory leaks in the OMAPI protocol subsystem.
2923

2938 DHCPDECLINE.
2939
2940- Fix failover peer OMAPI support.
2941
2942- In failover, correctly handle expiration of leases. Previously,
2943 leases would never be reclaimed because they couldn't make the
2944 transition from EXPIRED to FREE.
2945
2946- Fix some broken failover state transitions.
2947
2948- Documentation fixes.
2949
2950- Take out an unnecessary check in DHCP relay agent information option
2951 stashing code that was preventing REBINDING clients from rebinding.
2952
2953- Prevent failover peers from allocating leases in DHCPREQUEST
2954 processing if the lease belongs to the other server.
2955
2956- Record server version in lease file introductory comment.
2957
2958- Correctly report connection errors in OMAPI and failover.
2959
2960- Make authentication signature algorithm name comparisons in OMAPI
2961 case-insensitive.
2962
2963- Fix compile problem on SunOS 4.x
2964
98311e4b 2965- If a signature algorithm is not terminated with '.', terminate it so
eaf0b302
TL
2966 that comparisons between fully-qualified names will work
2967 consistently.
2968
2969- Different SIOCGIFCONF probe code, may "fix" problem on some Linux
2970 systems with the probe not working correctly.
2971

2976- Do lease billing on startup in a way that I *think* will finally do
2977 the billing correctly - the previous method could overbill as a
2978 result of duplicate leases.

2985 Herranz for figuring out the main problem.

2988 core dumps.

2991 Friedrich.

2993- Fix a bug in lease billing, thanks to Jonas Bulow.
2994
2995 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 2
2996
2997- Change the conditions under which a DHCPRELEASE is actually
2998 committed to be consistent with lease binding states rather than
98311e4b 2999 using the lease end time. This may fix some problems with the
892fe689
TL
3000 billing class code.
3001
3002- Fix a bug where lease updates would fail on Digital Unix (and maybe
3003 others) because malloc was called with a size of zero.
3004
3005- Fix a core dump that happens when the DHCP server can't create its
3006 trace file.

TL
3010- Fix the dhcp_failover_put_message to not attempt to allocate a
3011 zero-length buffer. Some versions of malloc() fail if you try to
3012 allocate a zero-length buffer, and this was causing problems on,
3013 e.g., Digital Unix.
3014
3015- Fix a case where the failover code was printing an error message
3016 when no error had occurred.
3017
3018- Fix a problem where when a server went down and back up again, the
3019 peer would not see a state transition and so would stay in the
3020 non-communicating state.
3021
3022- Be smart about going into recover_wait.
3023
3024- Fix a problem in the failover implementation where peers would fail
3025 to come into sync if interrupted in the RECOVER state. This could
3026 have been the cause of some problems people have reported recently.
3027
3028- Fix a problem with billing classes where they would not be unbilled
3029 when the client lease expired.
3030
3031- If select fails, figure out which descriptor is bad, and cut it out
3032 of the I/O loop. This prevents a potentially nasty spin. I
3033 haven't heard any report it in a while, but it came up consistently
3034 in testing.
3035
3036- Fix a bug in the relay agent where if you specified interfaces on
3037 the command line, it would fail.
3038
3039- Fix a couple of small bugs in the omapi connection object (no known
3040 user impact).
3041
3042- Add the missing 3.0 Beta 1 lease conversion script.
3043

3045 they're executable.

3087 checked. This may have been causing core dumps.
3088
3089- When parsing the lease file, if a lease declaration includes a
3090 billing class statement, and the lease already has a billing class,
3091 unbill the old class.
3092
3093- When processing failover transactions, where acks will be deferred,
3094 process the state transition immediately.
3095
3096- Don't try to use the new SIOCGIFCONF buffer size detection code on
3097 Linux 2.0, which doesn't provide this functionality.
3098

3103- Fix a parse error in the client when setting up an omapi listener.
3104
3105- Document the -n and -g flags to the client.
3106
3107- Make sure there is always a stdin and stdout on startup. This
3108 prevents shell scripts from accidentally writing error messages into
3109 configuration files that happen to be opened as stderr.
3110
3111- If an interface is removed, the client will now notice that it is
3112 gone rather than spinning. This has only been tested on NetBSD.
3113
3114- The client will attempt to get an address even if it can't create a
3115 lease file.

3137 pl19.

3140 previous fix only partially fixed the problem - enough to get it
3141 past the regression test.

3162- Implement omshell, which can be used to do arbitrary things to the
3163 server (in theory). (Damien Neil)
3164
3165- Fix a case where if a client had two different leases the server could
3166 actually dereference the second one when it hadn't been referenced,
3167 leading to memory corruption and a core dump. (James Brister)
3168
3169- Fix a case where a client could request the address of another client's
3170 lease, but find_lease wouldn't detect that the other client had it, and
3171 would attempt to allocate it to the client, resulting in a lease conflict
3172 message.
3173
3174- Fix a case where a client with more than one client identifier could be
3175 given a lease where the hardware address was correct but the client
3176 identifier was not, resulting in a lease conflict message.
3177
98311e4b 3178- Fix a problem where the server could write out a colon-separated
3350f5b7
TL
3179 hex list as a value for a variable, which would then not parse.
3180 The fix is to always write strings as quoted strings, with any
3181 non-printable characters quoted as octal escape sequences. So
3182 a file written the old way still won't work, but new files written
3183 this way will work.

3188 break any configuration files that use the option-nnn convention.
3189 If you want to continue to use this convention for some options,
3190 please be sure to write a definition, like this:
3191
3192 option option-nnn code nnn = string;

3196- Fix a problem where we would see a DHCPDISCOVER/DHCPOFFER/
3197 DHCPREQUEST/DHCPACK/DHCPREQUEST/DHCPNAK sequence. This was the
3198 result of a deceptively silly bug in supersede_lease.

3213- Add support for transaction tracing. This allows the state of the
3214 DHCP server on startup, and all the subsequent transactions, to be
3215 recorded in a file which can then be played back to reproduce the
3216 behaviour of the DHCP server. This can be used to quickly
3217 reproduce bugs that cause core dumps or corruption, and also for
3218 tracking down memory leaks.
3219
3220- Incorporate some bug fixes provided by Joost Mulders for the DLPI
3221 package which should clear up problems people have been seeing on
3222 Solaris.
3223
3224- Fix bugs in the handling of options stored as linked lists (agent
3225 options, fqdn options and nwip options) that could cause memory
3226 corruption and core dumps.

3229 not being send in some cases when they were needed.

3233- Make initial failover startup *much* faster. This was researched
3234 and implemented by Damien Neil.

3273
3274- Finish fixing a long-standing bug in the agent options code. This
3275 was causing core dumps and failing to operate correctly - in
3276 particular, agent option stashing wasn't working. Agent option
3277 stashing should now be working, meaning that agent options can be
3278 used in class statements to control address allocation.
3279

3290 transmitting packets to the server. Handy for debugging; not much
3291 practical use otherwise.

3302- Work around the Win98 DHCP client, which NUL-terminates the FQDN
3303 option.

3305- Work around Win98 and Win2k clients that will claim they want to do
3306 the update even when they don't have any way to do it.
3307
3308- Fix some log messages that can be printed when failover is operating
3309 that were not printing enough information.
3310
3311- It was possible for a DHCPDISCOVER to get an allocation even when
3312 the state machine said the server shouldn't be responding.
3313
3314- Don't load balance DHCPREQUESTs from clients in RENEWING and
3315 REBINDING, since in RENEWING, if we heard it, it's for us, and in
3316 REBINDING, the client wouldn't have got to REBINDING if its primary
3317 were answering.

3330 decoder that would prevent any key with an 'x' in its base64
3331 representation from working correctly.
3332
3333- Thanks to Chris Cheney and Michael Sanders, we have a fix for the
3334 hang that they both spotted in the DHCP server - when
3335 one-lease-per-client was set, the code to release the "other" lease
3336 could spin.
3337
3338- Fix a problem with alignment of the input buffer in bpf in cases
3339 where two packets arrive in the same bpf read.
3340
3341- Fix a problem where the relay agent would crash if you specified an
3342 interface name on the command line.
3343
3344- Add the ability to conditionalize client behaviour based on the
3345 client state.
3346
3347- Add support for the FQDN option, and added support for a new way of
3348 doing ddns updates (ddns update style interim) that allows more than
3349 one DHCP server to update the DNS for the same network(s). This
3350 was implemented by Damien Neil with some additional functionality
3351 added by Ted Lemon.
3352
3353- Damien added a "log" statement, so that the configuration file can
3354 be made to log debugging information and other information.
3355
3356- Fixed a bug that caused option buffers not to be terminated with an
3357 end option.
3358
3359- Fixed a long-standing bug in the support for option spaces where the
3360 options are stored as an ordered list rather than in a hash table,
3361 which could theoretically result in memory pool corruption.
3362
3363- Prevent hardware declarations with no actual hardware address from
3364 being written as something unparsable, and behave correctly in the
3365 face of a null hardware address on input.
3366
3367- Allow key names to be FQDNs, and qualify the algorithm name if it is
3368 specified unqualified.
3369
3370- Modify the DDNS update code so that it never prints the "resolver
3371 failed" message, but instead says *why* the resolver failed.

3374 RFC.

3414 select will just fail if the timeout is too long (!).
3415

3417 silently dropped.

3420 client had the lease, the DHCP server would reallocate it anyway.

3436- Fix a possible DoS attack where a client could cause the checksummer
3437 to dump core. This was a read, not a write, so it shouldn't be
3438 possible to exploit it any further than that.
3439
3440- Implement client- and server-side support for using the Client FQDN
3441 option.
3442
3443- Support for other option spaces in the client has been added. This
3444 means that it is now possible to define a vendor option space on the
3445 client, request options in that space from the server (which must
3446 define the same option space), and then use those options in the
3447 client. This also allows NWIP and Client FQDN options to be used
3448 meaningfully.
3449
3450- Add object initializer support. This means that objects can now be
3451 initialized to something other than all-zeros when allocated, which
3452 makes, e.g., the interface object support code a little more robust.
3453
3454- Fix an off-by-one bug in the host stuffer. This was causing host
3455 deletes not the work, and may also have been causing OMAPI
3456 connections to get dropped. Thanks to James Brister for tracking
3457 this one down!
