72c7bd79 6
5ddbe8e4 7 NEW FEATURES
16449d9c 8
5ade3c84 9The major "theme" for ISC DHCP 4.3.x was to update the support for
324257e3
SR
10DHCPv6 to include several of the features that have been available
11for DHCPv4. These include:
37ec5845 12
324257e3
SR
13- Support the use of classes
14
15- Support for on_commit, on_expiry and on_release statements
16
4809ef5c 17- Better logging of address assignments
324257e3
SR
18
19- Support for using DHCPv6 relay options in expressions
20
cb0d7e7c 21This release also adds support for the standard DDNS as described in the
324257e3
SR
22current RFCs as well as enhancing support for dynamically adding and removing
23subclasses via OMAPI.

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

54
d618ba48 55 Changes since 4.3.0 (new features)
1e08558f 56
0ee00c5b
SR
57- Insert the raw data from a fully encapsualted option into the option cache.
58 This allows "exists" to check for the option if any sub options exist. It
59 also adds the raw data to the environment variables supplied to the client
60 script.
61 [ISC-Bugs #39863]
62
a53c9bf2
FD
63- Pass configure arguments which begin with an upper case letter, e.g.
64 CFLAGS, to the embedded bind configure, so it is no longer required
65 to use environment variables to get the same effect.
66 [ISC-Bugs #35143]
67
81f844d2
FD
68- Added --enable-kqueue, --enable-epoll, --enable-devpoll and a more
69 general --with-bind-extra-config to pass extra options to the
70 embedded bind configure. Note we had mixed experiences with this
54ee18cf 71 so it is at the user risk, i.e., they are NOT SUPPORTED yet.
f285576d 72 [ISC-Bugs #20890]
81f844d2 73
53c7a535
FD
74- Changed the way the embedded bind Makefile is updated by configure.
75 The only user visible side effect is that --with-libbind now requires
76 either "no" or an (absolute) path, i.e. "yes" is no longer valid.
77 [ISC-Bugs #43227]
78
d163c8f7
TM
79- Added the support for git repositories in the util/bind.sh script.
80 When you build ISC DHCP from a git repo, i.e., without a "bind"
81 directory populated as in the release distribution file, you may now
4b914743
FD
82 create the bind directory, change to it and clone the private
83 (repo.isc.org/proj/git/prod/bind9.git) or the public
290a7613 84 (https://source.isc.org/git/bind9.git) git repository into
d163c8f7 85 bind/bind9 and then invoke the util/bind.sh script as usual.
c4ea4af0
FD
86 Note this option is incompatible with "make dist" (and make "distcheck")
87 because no bind/bind.tar.gz nor bind/version.tmp files are available.
4b914743
FD
88 [ISC-Bugs #43236]
89
e94e7f23
FD
90- Use the embedded bind libraries where they are built (vs where they
91 are installed).
92 [ISC-Bugs #39319]
93
a1372bbe
FD
94- Use last version (9.11) of plain embedded bind libraries in place of
95 older (9.9) version of export bind libraries.
96 [ISC-Bugs #43215]
97
5a2e8c37 98- Using "make distcheck" now works with external bind libraries (aka
c4ea4af0
FD
99 configure --with-libbind).
100 [ISC-Bugs #43285]
101
3210786b
TM
102- The server now allows the client identifier (option 61) to own leases
103 in more than one subnet concurrently. Prior to this the server would
104 incorrectly release an existing lease in one subnet prior to assigning
105 a lease in another subnet. Note that the prior behavior can be still
106 be achieved by enabling one-lease-per-client. Thanks to both David Zych at
107 the University of Illinois and Norm Proffitt of Infoblox for reporting
108 the issue; and Norm for suggesting a solution.
109 [ISC-Bugs #41358]
110
f9741514
FD
111- Added --enable-bind-install to install embedded bind includes and
112 libraries. Default is to not install them (it was the previous
113 behavior). If you'd like to change the includedir and/or libdir
5a67b030
FD
114 installation directories to something different than for ISC DHCP
115 you must pass them using the --with-bind-extra-config configuration
116 arguments.
f9741514
FD
117 [ISC-Bugs #39318]
118
007ba82a
FD
119- Added support of dynamic shared libraries with libtool. A new
120 --enable-libtool configuration parameter is available but
121 should not be used directly: *please* read the build configuration
122 section in the README file for the recommended procedure.
123 [ISC-Bugs #29402]
124
417b7b4a
TM
125- IPv6 operation now supports an EUI-64 based address allocation which will
126 calculate addresses for clients with EUI-64 DUIDs based on those DUIDs when
127 enabled by setting use-eui-64 true. The parameter may defined down to the
128 pool scope. Note this feature must be compiled in by defining EUI_64 in
129 includes/site.h. This flag is undefined by default.
130 [ISC-Bugs #43927]
131
c8f0b32a
MS
132- Added new compile time option --with-srv-conf-file which specifies a
133 default location of the server configuration file.
134 [ISC-Bugs #44765]
135
a68ec967
MS
136- Added --dad-wait-time parameter to dhclient. It specifies the maximum time,
137 in seconds, that the client process should wait for the duplicate address
138 detection to complete before initiating DHCP requests. This value is
139 propagated to the dhclient script and the script is responsible for waiting
140 the specified amount of time or until DAD has completed. If the script does
141 not support it, specifying this parameter has no effect. The default value
142 is 0 which specifies that the script should not wait for DAD. With this
143 change the following scripts have been modified to support the new parameter:
144 freebsd, linux, macos, netbsd, openbsd.
145 [ISC-Bugs #36169]
146
251bb4b9 147- Modified DDNS support initialization such that DNS related ports will only be
ca22af89
TM
148 opened by the server (dhcpd) at startup if ddns-update-style is not "none";
149 by dhclient only if and when the it first attempts an update; and never by
150 dhcrelay. Prior to this all three always did the initialization at startup
151 which causes them to always open on and listen for traffic on two random
ff343a30 152 ports. Thanks to Rodney Beede for reporting the issue.
ca22af89
TM
153 [ISC-Bugs #45290]
154 [ISC-Bugs #33377]
155
8c785e79
TM
156- Added error logging to two memory allocation failure checks. Thanks to Bill
157 Parker (wp02855 at gmail dot com) for reporting the issue.
158 [ISC-Bugs #41185]
159
251bb4b9 160- Corrected a dhclient -6 issue that caused the client to crash with an
161 "Impossible condition" error after de-preferencing its only IA binding.
162 The crash occurred when server configuration changes rendered the existing
01bfe9c5
TM
163 binding out-of-range and no other leases were available to offer. Thanks
164 to Pierre Clerissi for bringing this issue to our attention.
251bb4b9 165 [ISC-Bugs #44373]
166
5c03ed37 167- By defining CALL_SCRIPT_ON_ONETRY_FAIL in includes/site.h, dhclient will
168 now call the script with reason set to FAIL when run with -1 (one try) and
169 there are no server responses. This applies to IPv4 mode only. Thanks for a
170 patch by Martin Pitt which got to us via Andrew Pollock.
a489cc48
TM
171 [ISC-bugs #18183]
172
6573afff 173- Linux script updated. The script is now based on Debian version. It uses
fbe81d8e
TM
174 ip tool from iproute2 package and ifconfig is no longer used. This also
175 addresses an issue of calling arping with inappropriate parameter.
6573afff 176 [ISC-bugs #19430]
fbe81d8e 177 [ISC-bugs #18111]
6573afff 178

242 When asked for the version don't send the output to syslog.
243 [ISC-Bugs #29772]
244 Add the next server information to the environment variables for
245 use by the client script. In order to avoid changing the client
246 lease file the next server information isn't written to it.
247 Thanks to Tomas Hozza at Red Hat for the suggestion and a prototype fix.
248 [ISC-Bugs #33098]
21f3982a 249
d618ba48
SR
250- Several updates to the dhcp server code.
251 When not in quiet mode print out the files being used.
252 [ISC-Bugs #17551]
253 As accessing some pid files may require privileges move the dropping
254 of permission bits due to the paranoia patch to be after the pid code.
255 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the bug report and fix.
256 [ISC-Bugs #25806]
257 When processing a "--version" request don't output the version information
258 to syslog.
33dca28a 259
d618ba48
SR
260- Add the "enable-log-pid" build option to the configure script. When enabled
261 this causes the client, server and relay programs to include the PID
262 number in syslog messages.
263 Thanks to Marius Tomaschewski for the suggestion and proto-patch.
264 [ISC-Bugs #29713]
33dca28a 265
d618ba48
SR
266- Add a #define to specify the prefix length used when a client attempts
267 to configure an address. This can be modified by editing includes/site.h.
268 By default it is set to 64. While 128 might be a better choice it would
269 also be a change for currently running systems, so we have left it at 64.
270 [ISC-Bugs #DHCP-2]
7da1ac2b 271
d618ba48
SR
272- Add a run time option to the client "-df" to allow the administrator to
273 point to a second lease file the client can search for a DUID. This can
274 be used to allow a v4 and a v6 instance of the client to share a DUID.
275 The second file will only be searched if there isn't a DUID in the main
276 lease file and the DUID will be written out to the main lease file.
277 [ISC-Bugs #34886]
e82906fc 278
d618ba48
SR
279- Have the client fsync the lease file to avoid lease corruption if the
280 client hibernates or otherwise shuts down.

20931f53 282
d618ba48
SR
283- Add a check for L2VLAN in bpf.c to help support VLAN interfaces
284 Thanks to Steinar Haug for the suggestion.
285 [ISC-Bugs #36033]
5cc6f201 286
d618ba48
SR
287- Modify the handling of the resolv.conf file to allow the DHCP
288 process to start up even if the resolv.conf file has problems.
289 [ISC-Bugs #35989]
88c3ff5d 290
d618ba48
SR
291- Add threshold logging functionality. Two new options,
292 log-threshold-low and log-threshold-high, indicate to the
293 server if and when it should log an error message as addresses
294 in a pool are used.
295 [ISC-Bugs #34487]
f10cbbfa 296
d618ba48
SR
297- Add code to properly dereference a pointer in the dhclient code
298 on an error condition.

305 the best way to present it to remove or reduce the side effects.
306 [ISC-Bugs #36066]
646acb59 307
d618ba48
SR
308- Modify the message displayed when a process hits a fatal error.

3e3b5257 351
d618ba48
SR
352- Remove unneeded error #defines. These defines were included in case
353 external programs required the older versions of the macro. They
354 have been #ifdeffed for now and will be removed at a future date.
355 See site.h for the #define to include them again, but you should
356 switch to using the DHCP_R_* versions instead of the ISC_R_* versions.
357 Also ISC_R_MULTIPLE has been removed as it is also defined in bind.
358 [ISC-Bugs #37128]
ba4c704d 359
d618ba48
SR
360- Added checks in range6 and prefix6 statement parsing to ensure addresses
361 are within the declared subnet. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the
362 bug report and patch.

b1eea858 368
d618ba48
SR
369- Addressed checksum issues:
370 Added checksum readiness check to Linux packet filtering which eliminates
371 invalid packet drops due to checksum errors when checksum offloading is
372 in use. Based on dhcp-4.2.2-xen-checksum.patch made to the Fedora project.

382 [ISC-Bugs #25587]
36c4a037 383
d618ba48
SR
384- Added the echo-client-id configuration parameter to the server configuration.
385 The server now supports RFC 6842 compliant behavior by setting a new
386 configuration parameter, echo-client-id. When enabled, the server will
387 include the client identifier option (Option code 61) if received, in its
388 responses. The server identifier returned in NAKs (if enabled) will now
389 be the globally defined value (if one) if the server cannot attribute the
390 inbound request to a known subnet.
391 [ISC-Bugs #35958]
392 [ISC-Bugs #32545]
41b5a1a6 393
d618ba48
SR
394- Added support of the configuration parameter, use-host-decl-names, to
395 BOOTP request handling.
396 [ISC-Bugs #36233]
62a9eb91 397
d618ba48
SR
398- Added logic to ignore the signal, SIGPIPE, which ensures write failures
399 will be delivered as errors rather than as SIGPIPE signals on all OSs.
400 Thanks to Marius Tomaschewski from SUSE who reported the issue and provided
401 the patch upon which the fix is based.
402 [ISC-Bugs #32222]
b7311aae 403
d618ba48
SR
404- In the failover code, handle the case of communications being interrupted

413- By default, the server will now choose the value to use in the forward DNS
414 name from the following in order of preference:
1d3fc4d0 415

420 As before, this may be overridden by defining ddns-hostname to the desired
421 value (or expression). In addition, the server logic has been extended to
422 use the value of the host name declaration if use-host-decl-names is enabled
423 and no other value is available.

432- Corrected an issue which caused dhclient to incorrectly form the result when
433 prepending or appending to the IPv4 domain-search option, received from the

438- Added the server-id-check parameter to the server configuration.
439 This parameter allows run-time control over whether or not a server,
440 participating in failover, verifies the dhcp-server-identifier option in
441 DHCP REQUESTs against the server's id before processing the request.
442 Formerly, enabling this behavior was done at compilation time through
443 the use of the #define, SERVER_ID_CHECK, which has been removed from site.h
444 The functionality is now only available through the new runtime parameter.

d618ba48
SR
447- During startup, when the server encounters a lease whose binding state is
448 FTS_BACKUP but whose pool has no configured failover peer, it will reset the
449 lease's binding state to FTS_FREE. This allows the leases to be reclaimed
450 by the server after a pool's configuration has changed from failover to
451 standalone. Prior to this such leases would remain stuck in the backup state
452 making them unavailable for assignment. Note this conversion will occur
453 whether or not the server is compiled for failover.

458 the wrong scope. The two examples we've heard of are getting subnet
459 instead of group information associated with a host entry, or getting
460 global information instead of subnet if the host entry was built via

483- Modified Linux packet handling such that packets received via VLAN are now
484 seen only by the VLAN interface. Prior to this, such packets were seen by

503- Added a global parameter, prefix-length-mode, which may be used to determine
504 how the server uses a non-zero value for prefix-length supplied by clients
505 when soliciting DHCPv6 prefixes. The server supports selection modes of:
506 ignore, prefer, exact, minimum and maximum which are described in detail in
507 the server man pages. The prior behavior of the server was to only offer a
508 prefix whose length exactly matched the prefix-length value requested. If
509 no such prefixes were available, the server returned a status of none
510 available. Note the default mode, "exact", provides this same behavior.

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

533- The server now does a better check to see if it can allocate the memory
534 for large blocks of v4 leases and should provide a slightly better error
535 message. Note well: the server pre-allocates v4 addresses, if you use
536 a large range, such as a /8, the server will attempt to use a large
537 amount of memory and may not start if there either isn't enough memory

541- The server will now reject unicast Request, Renew, Decline, and Release
542 messages from a client unless the server would have sent that client the
543 dhcp6.unicast option. This behavior is in compliance with paragraph 1 in
544 each of the sections 18.2,1, 18.2.3, 18.2.6, and 18.2.7 of RFC 3315. Prior
545 to this, the server would simply accept the messages. Now, in order for
546 the server to accept such a message, the server configuration must include
547 the dhcp6.unicast option either globally or within the shared network to
548 which the requested lease belongs. In other words, the server will map
549 the first IA_XX address found within the client message to a shared-network
550 and look for the presence of the unicast option there and then globally.

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

819- A failover primary server will now accept a binding status update from the
820 secondary which transitions a lease from ACTIVE to ABANDONED. This accounts
821 for instances in which a client declines a lease and only the secondary
822 server receives it. Prior to this the primary server would reject such an
823 update as an "invalid state transition".

862- The server will now correctly treat a lease as reserved when the client
863 requests an infinite lease time (i.e. OxFFFFFFFF) and "infinite-is-reserved"
864 is enabled. Prior to this the server would halt. In addition, corrections
865 were made to the server to allow a lease's flags field to be set via omapi.
866 Prior to this, the server, depending on the host architecture, would
867 incorrectly parse the new flags value from the omapi message.

1125 has elapsed (default 25%), the server will reuse the allocated lease
1126 (provide a lease within the currently allocated lease-time) rather
1127 than extend or renew the lease. This absolves the server of needing
1128 to perform an fsync() operation on the lease database before reply,
1129 which improves performance. [ISC-Bugs #22228]
80778e94 1130 Updated this patch to support asynchronous DDNS. If the server is

1159 of DDNS entries between v4 and v6 clients. The new code is used
1160 if the ddns-update-style is set to "standard", the older code is
1161 still available if ddns-update-style is set to "interim". The

cde11a4c
SR
1167- Add a configuration option to the server to suppress using fsync().
1168 Enabling this option will mean that fsync() is never called. This
1169 may provide better performance but there is also a risk that a lease
1170 will not be properly written to the disk after it has been issued
1171 to a client and before the server stops. Using this option is
1172 not recommended.

1175- Add some logging statements to indicate when the server is ready
1176 to serve. One statement is emitted after the server has finished
1177 reading its files and is about to enter the dispatch loop.
1178 This is "Server starting service.".
1179 The second is emitted when a server determines that both it and
1180 its failover peer are in the normal state.

e54ff84f 1192- When doing DDNS if there isn't an appropriate zone statement attempt
80778e94 1193 to find a reasonable nameserver via a DNS resolver. This restores
e54ff84f
SR
1194 some functionality that was lost in the transition to asynchronous
1195 DDNS. Due to the lack of security and increase in fragility of the

1206- Add ignore-client-uids option in the server. This option causes
1207 the server to not record a client's uid in its lease. This
1208 violates the specification but may also be useful when a client
1209 can dual boot using different client ids but the same mac address.

8ee352ee 1229
01a44a77
SR
1230- When using 'ignore client-updates;', the FQDN returned to the client
1231 is no longer truncated to one octet.
8ee352ee 1232
01a44a77 1233- Cleaned up an unused hardware address variable in nak_lease().
4889a646 1234

SR
1235- Manpage entries for the ia-pd and ia-prefix options were updated to
1236 reflect support for prefix delegation.

01a44a77 1238- Cleaned up some compiler warnings
7dc4e69c 1239
01a44a77
SR
1240- An optimization described in the failover protocol draft is now included,
1241 which permits a DHCP server operating in communications-interrupted state
1242 to 'rewind' a lease to the state most recently transmitted to its peer,
1243 greatly increasing a server's endurance in communications-interrupted.
1244 This is supported using a new 'rewind state' record on the dhcpd.leases
1245 entry for each lease.
c5bc8b1a 1246
01a44a77 1247- Fix the trace code which was broken by the changes to the DDNS code.
d0a10f6a 1248
01a44a77
SR
1249- Update the fsync code to work with the changes to the DDNS code. It now
1250 uses a timer instead of noticing if there are no more packets to process.
dc9d7b08 1251
01a44a77
SR
1252- When constructing the DNS name structure from a text string append
1253 the root to relative names. This satisfies a requirement in the DNS
1254 library that names be absolute instead of relative and prevents DHCP
1255 from crashing. [ISC-Bugs #21054]
a24b9f23 1256

SR
1257- "The LDAP Patch" that has been circulating for some time, written by
1258 Brian Masney and S.Kalyanasundraram and maintained for application to
1259 the DHCP-4 sources by David Cantrell has been included. Please be
1260 advised that these sources were contributed, and do not yet meet the
1261 high standards we place on production sources we include by default.
1262 As a result, the LDAP features are only included by using a compile-time
1263 option which defaults off, and if you enable it you do so under your
1264 own recognizance. We will be improving this software over time.

1270! Accept a client id of length 0 while hashing. Previously the server would
1271 exit if it attempted to hash a zero length client id, providing attackers

1277- Modify the exception handling for initial context creation. Previously
1278 we would try and clean up before exiting. This could present problems
1279 when the cleanup required part of the context that wasn't available. It
1280 also didn't do much as we exited afterwards anyway. Now we simply log
1281 the error and exit. [ISC-Bugs #21093]
ad4001ce 1282

SR
1283- A bug was fixed that could cause the DHCPv6 server to advertise/assign a
1284 previously allocated (active) lease to a client that has changed subnets,
1285 despite being on different shared networks. Dynamic prefixes specifically
1286 allocated in shared networks also now are not offered if the client has
1287 moved. [ISC-Bugs #21152]

1294- Modify the determination of the default TTL to use for DDNS updates.
1295 The user may still configure the ttl via ddns-ttl. The default for

1412- Handle pipe failures more gracefully. Some OSes pass a SIGPIPE
1413 signal to a process and will kill the process if the signal isn't

1418- Restore printing of values in omshell to the style pre 21585. For
1419 21585 we changed the print routines to always display time values

1501- 'dhclient' no longer waits a random interval after first starting up to
1502 begin in the INIT state. This conforms to RFC 2131, but elects not to
9a111ee8 1503 implement a 'SHOULD' direction in section 4.1. The goal of this change

1506- Added 'initial-delay' parameter that specifies maximum amount of time
1507 before client goes to the INIT state. The default value is 0. In previous
1508 versions of the code client could wait up to 5 seconds. The old behavior

1512- ICMP ping-check should now sit closer to precisely the number of seconds
1513 configured (or default 1), due to making use of the new microsecond

1519 microseconds if the DHCP server provided a lease-time that would result
1520 in sub-1-second timers. This corrects a bug where a 2-second or lower

1528- To defend against RFC 2131 non-compliant DHCP servers which fail to
1529 advertise a lease-time (either mangled, or zero in value) the DHCP
1530 client now adds the server to the reject list ACL and returns to INIT

1766! Previously the server code was relaxed to allow packets with zero
1767 length client ids to be processed. Under some situations use of
1768 zero length client ids can cause the server to go into an infinite
1769 loop. As such ids are not valid according to RFC 2132 section 9.14
1770 the server no longer accepts them. Client ids with a length of 1
1771 are also invalid but the server still accepts them in order to
1772 minimize disruption. The restriction will likely be tightened in
1773 the future to disallow ids with a length of 1.

1936- Failover port configuration can now be left to defaults (port 647) as
1937 described in the -12 revision of the Failover draft (and assigned by
4b97eaff 1938 IANA). Thanks in part to a patch from David Cantrell at Red Hat.

1940- If configured, dhclient may now transmit to an anycast MAC address,
1941 rather than using a broadcast address. Thanks to a patch from David
1942 Cantrell at Red Hat.

DH
1949- A new failover configuration parameter has been introduced for those
1950 environments where DHCP servers can be reasonably guaranteed to be
1951 "down" when the failover TCP socket is severed, "auto-partner-down".
1952 This parameter is not generally safe, and by default is disabled, so
1953 please carefully review the documentation of this parameter in the
1954 dhcpd.conf(5) manpage before determining to use it yourself.
1955

DH
1956- Added a configuration function, 'gethostname()', which calls the system
1957 function of the same name and presents the results as a data expression.
1958 This function can be used to incorporate the system level hostname of
1959 the system the DHCP software is operating on in responses or queries (such
1960 as including a failover partner's hostname in a dhcp message or binding
1961 scope, or having a DHCP client send any system hostname in the host-name or
1962 FQDN options by default).

DH
1964- The dhcp-renewal-time and dhcp-rebinding-time options may now be configured
1965 for DHCPv4 operation and used independently of the dhcp-lease-time
1966 calculations. Invalid renew and rebinding times (e.g., greater than the
1967 determined lease time) are omitted.
1968
adb95d23 1969- Processing the DHCP to DNS server transactions in an asynchronous fashion,
45adf35c 1970 the DHCP server or client can now continue with its processing while
98bf1607 1971 awaiting replies from the DNS server.

1973- The 'hardware [ethernet|etc] ...;' parameter in host records has been
1974 extended to attempt to match DHCPv6 clients by the last octets of a
1975 DUID-LL or DUID-LLT provided by the client.

1983- The notorious 'option <unknown> ... larger than buffer' log line,
1984 which is seen in some malformed DHCP client packets, was modified.
1985 It now logs the universe name, and does not log the length values
1986 (which are bogus corruption read from the packet anyway). It also
1987 carries a hopefully more useful explanation.

1992 and Request packets, if the dynamic range covering any requested addresses
1993 had been deleted from configuration.

SR
1995- Update the code to deal with GCC 4.3. This included two sets of changes.
1996 The first is to the configuration files to include the use of

DH
2015- A bug in DLPI packet transmission (Solaris, HP/UX) that caused the server
2016 to stop receiving packets is fixed. The same fix also means that the MAC
2017 address will no longer appear 'bogus' on DLPI-based systems.
2018
2019- A bug in select handling was discovered where the results of one select()
2020 call were discarded, causing the server to process the next select() call
2021 and use more system calls than required. This has been repaired - the
2022 sockets will be handled after the first return from select(), resulting in
2023 fewer system calls.
2024

DH
2025- The update-conflict-detection feature would leave an FQDN updated without
2026 a DHCID (still currently implemented as a TXT RR). This would cause later
2027 expiration or release events to fail to remove the domain name. The feature
2028 now also inserts the client's up to date DHCID record, so records may safely
2029 be removed at expiration or release time. Thanks to a patch submitted by
2030 Christof Chen.

DH
2032- Memory leak in the load_balance_mine() function is fixed. This would
2033 leak ~20-30 octets per DHCPDISCOVER packet while failover was in use
2034 and in normal state.

2055- Fixed a bug where an OMAPI socket disconnection message would not result
2056 in scheduling a failover reconnection, if the link had not negotiated a
2057 failover connect yet (e.g.: connection refused, asynch socket connect()
2058 timeouts).

2064 remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands as root on the system,

DH
2082- Secondary servers in a failover pair will now perform ddns removals if
2083 they had performed ddns updates on a lease that is expiring, or was
2084 released through the primary. As part of the same fix, stale binding scopes
2085 will now be removed if a change in identity of a lease's active client is
2086 detected, rather than simply if a lease is noticed to have expired (which it
2087 may have expired without a failover server noticing in some situations).
2088

DH
2089- A patch supplied by David Cantrell at RedHat was applied that detects
2090 invalid calling parameters given to the ns_name_ntop() function.
2091 Specifically, it detects if the caller passed a pointer and size pair
2092 that causes the pointer to integer-wrap past zero.

DH
2100- Both host and subnet6 configuration groups are now included whether a
2101 fixed-address6 (DHCPv6) is in use or not. Host scoped configuration takes
2102 precedence. This fixes two bugs, one where host scoped configuration
2103 would not be included from a non-fixed-address6 host record, and the equal
2104 and opposite bug where subnet6 scoped configuration would not be used when
571c38b0 2105 over-riding values were not present in a matching fixed-address6 host

0493fdca
SR
2111- Modified the handling of a connection to avoid releasing the omapi io
2112 object for the connection while it is still in use. One symptom from
2113 this error was a segfault when a failover secondary attempted to connect
2114 to the failover primary if their clocks were not synchronized.
2115
95bba8b6
SR
2116- Clean up to allow compilation with gcc 2.95.4 on FreeBSD. Remove an
2117 extra semi-colon from common/dns.c and moved setting a variable to NULL
2118 in server/dhcpv6.c to allow the compiler to decide that the variable
9a111ee8 2119 was always properly set.

2148 in future releases.

2225- A bug in subnet6 parsing where options contained in subnet6 clauses would
2226 not be applied to clients addressed within that network was repaired.
2227
2228- When configuring a "subnet {}" or "subnet6 {}" without an explicit
2229 shared-network enclosing it, the DHCP software would synthesize a
2230 shared-network to contain the subnet. However, all configuration
2231 parameters within the subnet more intuitively belong "to any client
2232 on that interface", or rather the synthesized shared-network. So,
2233 when a shared-network is synthesized, it is used to contain the
2234 configuration present inside the subnet {} clause. This means that
2235 the configuration will be valid for all clients on that network, not
2236 just those addressed out of the stated subnet. If you intended the
2237 opposite, the workaround is to explicitly configure an empty
2238 shared-network.
2239
2240- A bug was fixed where Information-Request processing was not sourcing
2241 configured option values.

01a54c17
EH
2296- The dhclient-script was updated to create a host route for the default
2297 gateway if the supplied subnet mask for an IPv4 address was a /32. This
2298 allows the client to work in 'captive' network environments, where the
2299 operator does not want clients to crosstalk directly.

adb95d23 2301- MINUS tokens should be parsable again.
01a54c17
EH
2302
2303- Multiple (up to "delayed-ack x;" maximum) DHCPv4 packets are now queued and
2304 released in bursts after single fsync() events when the upper limit is
2305 reached or if the receiving sockets go dry. The practical upshot is
2306 that fsync-coupled server performance is now multiplicitively increased.
2307 The default delayed ack limit is 28. Thanks entirely to a patch from
2308 Christof Chen.

DH
2344- The minimum site code value was set to 224 in 3.1.0 to track RFC3942. This
2345 broke a lot of legacy site local configurations. The new code in place will
2346 track site local space minimum option codes and logs a warning to encourage
2347 updates and exploration of site local code migration problems. Option
2348 codes less than 128 in site local spaces remain inaccessible.
2349
2350- A possible relay agent option bug was repaired where random server
2351 initialization state may have been used to signal the relay agent
2352 information options sub-option code for the 'END' of the option space.

cff9b78f
SK
2354- Fixes to allow code to compile and run on Solaris 9.

c4d29896
SK
2356- Fixes to allow code to compile on Mac OS X Leopard (10.5).
2357
57fcb8d9
SK
2358- When server is configured with options that it overrides, a warning is
2359 issued when the configuration file is read, rather than at the time the
2360 option is overridden. This was important, because the warning was given
9a111ee8 2361 every time the option was overridden, which could create a lot of
57fcb8d9
SK
2362 unnecessary logging.
2363
219a65eb
DH
2364- Fixed a compilation problems on platforms that define a value for FDDI,
2365 which conflicts with a dhcp configuration syntax token by the same name.
2366
ffdf3c8c
DH
2367- When a failover server suspects it has encountered a peer running a
2368 version 3.0.x failover server, a warning that the failover wire protocol
2369 is incompatible is printed.
2370
2371- The failover server no longer issues a floating point error if it encounters
2372 a previously undefined option code.
2373
00a002fc
MA
2374- Fix startup error messages to report a missing "subnet6 declaration", rather
2375 than a missing "subnet declaration", when running as a DHCPv6 server.
2376
9a111ee8 2377- DHCPv6 client timestamp in DUID was based on the year 1970 rather
7e9f7a1b
FD
2378 than the year 2000.
2379
e2cfde76
FD
2380- Warn when attempting to use a hardware parameter in DHCPv6.
2381
cabdb9b1
FD
2382- DHCPv6 released resources are now marked as released by the client.

61d75ea2
DH
2386 Changes since 4.0.0b3
2387
2388- The reverse dns name for PTR updates on IPv6 addresses has been fixed to
2389 use ip6.arpa. rather than default to in-addr.arpa and require user
2390 configuration.
76db44f9 2391
e32529a5
EH
2392- dhc6_lease_destroy() and dhc6_ia_destroy() now set lease and IA pointers
2393 to NULL after freeing, to prevent subsequent accesses to freed memory.
2394
9a111ee8 2395- The DHCPv6 server would not send the preference option unless the
76db44f9
SK
2396 client requested it, via the ORO. This has been fixed, so the DHCPv6
2397 server will always send the preference value if it is configured.
e4a6be15 2398
9a111ee8
TM
2399- When addresses were passed as hints to the server in an IA, they were
2400 incorrectly handled, sometimes being treated as an error. Now the
6f76de58
SK
2401 server will treat these as hints and ignore them if it cannot supply
2402 a requested address.
2403
703873ab
DH
2404- If the client had multiple addresses, and one expired (was not renewed
2405 by the server), the client would continue to attempt to renew the same
2406 old address over and over. Now, the client will omit any expired
2407 addresses from future Confirm, Renew, or Rebind messages.
2408
2409- dhclient -6 will now select renew/rebind timers based upon the longest
2410 address expiration time rather than the shortest expiration time, in
2411 order to avoid cascading renewals in the event a server elects not to
2412 extend one of multiple IAADDR leases.
2413
b024480e
DH
2414- The server now limits clients that request multiple addresses to one
2415 address per IA by default, which can be adjusted through the
2416 "limit-addrs-per-ia" configuration option.
2417
c0216cb7
DH
2418- The DHCPv6 client now issues fresh transaction IDs on Renew and Rebind
2419 message exchanges, rather than using the most recent ID.
2420
1ac57173
FD
2421- The DHCPv6 server now replies to Information-Request messages.

2426- The parsing of some options in the dhclient lease file, in particular
2427 the success DHCPv6 status-code, was fixed.

e5d83524
DH
2429- A bug was fixed that caused the DHCPv6 ORO option to be corrupted with
2430 seemingly random values.

DH
2432- A reference overleak in DHCPv6 shared network processing was repaired.
2433
f8b3c6f4
DH
2434- ./configure now autodetects local database locations rather than trying
2435 to put dhcpd.leases and dhclient.leases in /usr/local/var/db, which no
2436 one ever has.
2437
9a111ee8
TM
2438- Regression fix for bug where server advertised a IPv6 address in
2439 response to a SOLICIT but would not return the address in response
b9137d42
SK
2440 to a REQUEST.

9f1d5a2f
DH
2442- A bug was fixed where the DHCPv6 server puts the NoAddrsAvail status
2443 code in the IA_NA was fixed. The status code now appears in the root
2444 level.

2448- Clarified error message when lease limit exceeded
2449
b1d3778c
DH
2450- Relative time may now be used as a qualifier for 'allow' and 'deny' access
2451 control lists. These directives may be used to assist in re-addressing
2452 address pools without having to constantly reconfigure the server. Please
2453 see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more information on allow/deny 'after time' syntax.
2454 Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen.

bead14ea
DH
2456- The server will now include multiple IA_NA's and multiple IAADDRs within
2457 them, if advertised by the client. It still only seeks to allocate one
2458 new address.
2459
f765ec36
SK
2460 Changes since 4.0.0b1
2461
75135a3f 2462- Use different paths for PID and lease files when running in DHCPv4
adb95d23 2463 or DHCPv6 mode, so that servers for both protocols can be run
75135a3f
EH
2464 simultaneously on a single interface.
2465
5c2d55c7
EH
2466- Fixed a buffer overflow error which could have allowed a denial
2467 of service under unusual server configurations
2468
2469- Eliminated a spurious error message from the client
2470
9a111ee8 2471- A number of bugs with the internal handling of lease state on the
f765ec36 2472 server have been fixed. Some of these could cause server crashes.
fa9b593d 2473
edb1283e
DH
2474- The peer_wants_leases() changes pulled up from 3.1.0 were corrected,
2475 'never used' leases will no longer consistently shift between servers
2476 on every pool rebalance run.

2481- The client leasing subsystem was streamlined and corrected to account
2482 more closely for changes in client link attachment selection.

ab3a540f 2484 Changes since 4.0.0a3
763cba6b 2485
9a111ee8 2486- The DHCP server no longer requires a "ddns-update-style" statement,
884a458f
SK
2487 and now defaults to "none", which means DNS updates are disabled.
2488
fa9b593d
DH
2489- Log messages when failover peer names mismatch have been improved to
2490 point out the problem.
2491
9a111ee8 2492- Bug where server advertised a IPv6 address in response to a SOLICIT
1b5053b5
SK
2493 but would not return the address in response to a REQUEST. Thanks to
2494 Dennis Kou for finding the bug.
2495

2497 reported independently by Jothilingam Vasu and Dennis Kou.
2498
eaf7eb17
DH
2499- Fixed a ./configure bug where compile tests were failing due to
2500 "-Werror" (unused variable) rather than the actual test failure. Lead
2501 to inconsistent and unworkable auto-configurations.
2502
109e00db
DH
2503- Compilation with DLPI and -Werror has been repaired.

9a111ee8 2505- Error in decoding IA_NA option if multiple interfaces are present
3ad9d48f
SK
2506 fixed by Marcus Goller.

8eab95f2
DH
2508- DHCPv6 server Confirm message processing has been enhanced - it no
2509 longer replies only to clients with host {} records, it now replies
2510 as directed in RFC3315 section 18.2.2 - that is, to all clients
2511 regardless of the existence of bindings.
2512
07b9a351
DH
2513- A core dump during expired lease cleanup has been repaired.
2514
7285af30
DH
2515- DDNS updates state information are now stored in 'binding scopes' that
2516 follow the leases through their lifecycles. This enables DDNS teardowns
2517 on leases that are assigned and expired inbetween a server restart (the
2518 state is recovered from dhcpd.leases). Arbitrary user-specified binding
2519 scopes ('set var = "value";') are not yet supported.

2539- An internal database inconsistency bug was repaired where the server
2540 would segfault if a client attempted to renew a lease that had been
2541 loaded from persistent storage.
2542
45d545f0 2543- 'request' and 'also request' syntaxes have been added to accommodate
0c20eab3
DH
2544 the DHCPv6 client configuration. 'send dhcp6.oro' is no longer
2545 necessary.
2546
9a111ee8
TM
2547- Bug fixed where configuration file parsing did not work with
2548 zero-length options; this made it impossible to set the
f800f4f6
SK
2549 rapid-commit option.

2566- Compilation on HP/UX has been repaired. The changes should generally
2567 apply to any architecture that supplies SIOCGLIFCONF but does not
2568 use 'struct lifconf' structures to pass values.

2604- Corrected some situations where variables might be used without being
2605 initialized.
2606
2607- Silenced several other compiler warnings.
2608
2609- Include the more standard sys/uio.h rather than rely upon other
f66f02cc
DH
2610 header files to include it (fixes a BSD 4.2 compile failure).
2611
2612- Duplicate dhclient-script updates for DHCPv6 to all provided scripts.
a512d11b 2613
4ba58919
DH
2614- DHCPv4 I/O methods that failed to sense hardware address were corrected.
2615
2616- DHCPv4 is now the default (as documented) rather than DHCPv6. The default
2617 was set to DHCPv6 to facilitate ease early development, and forgotten.
2618
2619- Corrected a segmentation violation in DHCPv4 socket processing.
2620
8ea19a71 2621- dhclient will now fork() into the background once it binds to an
45d545f0 2622 IPv6 address, or immediately if the -n flag is supplied.
8ea19a71
DH
2623
2624- -q is now the default behaviour on dhclient, with -d or -v enabling
2625 non-quiet (stderr logging) mode.

2632
98bd7ca0
DH
2633 Changes since 3.1.0 (NEW FEATURES)
2634
2635- DHCPv6 Client and Server protocol support. Use '-6' to run the daemons
2636 as v6-only. Use '-4' to run the daemons as v4-only (default. There is
2637 no support currently for both.
2638
2639- Server support for multiple IA_NA options, containing at most one
2640 IAADDR option.
2641
2642- Client support for one IA_NA option, containing any number of IAADDR
2643 options.
2644
2645- Server support for the DHCPv6 Information-request message.
2646
2647- Inappropriate unicast DHCPv6 messages sent to the server are now
2648 discarded, and this has rearchitected the IO system slightly.
2649
2650- The DHCPv6 server DUID defaults to type 1, is persistently stored in
2651 the leases database, and can be over-ridden (either completely, or by
2652 specifying type 1 or type 2).
2653
2654- The server only uses Rapid-Commit if it has been configured with the
2655 Rapid-Commit option and the client requests it.
2656
2657- DDNS support. We now update AAAA records in the same place we would
2658 update A records, if we have an IPv6 address. We also generate IP6.ARPA
2659 style names for PTR records if we're dealing with an IPv6 address. Both
2660 A and AAAA updates are done using the same 'fqdn.' virtual option space
2661 (although the DHCPv4 FQDN and DHCPv6 FQDN options are formatted
2662 differently, they both use the same code here).
2663
2664- The Linux dhclient-script attempts to set and remove assigned addresses,
2665 and to configure /etc/resolv.conf from nameserver and domain name
2666 configurations. It can be extended to configure other parameters.
2667
2668- Initial DHCPv6 lease support.
2669
2670- The IO system now tracks all local IP addresses, so that the DHCP
2671 applications (particularly the dhcrelay) can discern between what frames
2672 were transmitted to it, and what frames are being carried through it which
2673 it should not intercept.
2674
1418fd11
DH
2675 Changes since 3.1.0 (Maintenance)
2676
2677- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for virgin leases always
2678 mapped to the primary. Virgin leases now have an interleaved preference
2679 between primary and secondary.
2680
2681- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for clients with no client
2682 identifier was sometimes mishashed to the peer. Load balancing during
2683 runtime and pool rebalancing were opposing.
2684
aa3e348e
DH
2685- An assertion in lease counting relating to reserved leases was repaired.
2686
e9c59645
DH
2687- The subnet-mask option inclusion now conforms with RFC2132 section 3.3;
2688 it will only appear prior to the routers option if it is present on the
2689 Parameter-Request-List. The subnet-mask option will also only be
2690 included by default (if it is not on the PRL) in response to DISCOVER
2691 or REQUEST messages.
2692
2693- The FQDN option is only supplied if the client supplied an FQDN option or
2694 if the FQDN option was explicitly requested on the PRL.

DH
2701 failover protected subnets was removed.
2702
a512cc3a
DH
2703 Changes since 3.1.0b2
2704
2705- Failover rebalance events no longer play ping pong with round errors
2706 (moving leases between free and back to backup where there are an
2707 odd number of leases).
2708
2709- The 'pool' log line has been split into two messages, one before the
2710 rebalance run, and one after.
2711
2712- Any queued BNDACKs are transmitted before transmitting new BNDUPDs.
2713 This enforces the correct sequence of events for the remote server
2714 processing these messages.
2715
fe5b0fdd 2716 Changes since 3.1.0b1

2719 objects.
2720
1ba87b37
EH
2721- A new server config option "fqdn-reply" specifies whether the server
2722 should send out option 81 (FQDN). Defaults to "on". If set to "off",
2723 the FQDN option is not sent, even if the client requested it. This is
2724 needed because some clients misbehave otherwise. Thanks to Christof Chen
2725 at Allianz.

2727- Allow trace output files (-tf option) to be overwritten, rather than
2728 crashing dhcpd if the file already exists
2729

2733- Some uninitialized values were repaired in dhcpleasequery.c that
2734 caused the server to abort.
2735
4d2eaafb
DH
2736- A new server config option, 'do-reverse-updates', has been added
2737 which causes the server to abstain from performing updates on PTR
2738 records. Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen at Allianz.

2775- UPDREQ/UPDREQALL handling was optimized - it no longer dequeues and
2776 requeues all pending updates. This should reduce the number of spurious
66c8f734
DH
2777 'xid mismatch' log messages.
2778
2779- An option definition referencing leak was fixed, which resulted in early
2780 termination of dhclient upon the renewal event.
616d67cb 2781
6708d944
DH
2782- Some default hash table sizes were tweaked, some upwards, some downwards.
2783 3.1.0a1's tables resulted in a reduction in default server memory use.
2784 The new selected values provide more of a zero sum (increasing the size
2785 of tables likely to be populated, decreasing the size of tables unlikely).
2786
45d545f0 2787- Lease structures appear in three separate hashes: by IP address, by UID,
6708d944
DH
2788 and by hardware address. One type of table was used for all three, and
2789 improvements to IP address hashing were applied to all three (so UID and
2790 hardware addresses were treated like 4-byte integers). There are now two
2791 types of tables, and the uid/hw hashes use functions more appropriate
2792 to their needs.
2793
2794- The max-lease-misbalance percentage no longer causes scheduled rebalance
2795 runs to be skipped: it still governs the schedule, but every scheduled
2796 run will attempt balance.
2797
a7ee93fe
DH
2798- A segfault bug in recursive encapsulation support has been corrected.
2799
98311e4b
DH
2800 Changes since 3.0 (New Features)
2801
2802- A workaround for certain STSN servers that send a mangled domain-name
2803 option was introduced for dhclient. The client will now accept corrupted
2804 server responses, if they contain a valid DHCP_MESSAGE_TYPE (OFFER, ACK,
2805 or NAK). The server will continue to not accept corrupt client packets.
2806
98bd7ca0 2807- Support for 'reserved' (pseudo-static) and BOOTP leases via failover
a55ccdd0 2808 was introduced.
98311e4b
DH
2809
2810- Support for adding, removing, and managing class and subclass statements
2811 via OMAPI.
2812
a55ccdd0
DH
2813- The failover implementation was updated to comply with revision 12 of
2814 the protocol draft.
2815
98311e4b
DH
2816- 'make install' now creates the initial zero-length dhcpd.leases file if
2817 one does not already exist on the system.
2818
b43c87ad 2819- RFC3942 compliance, site-local option spaces start at 224 now, not 128.
b43c87ad 2820
0b17f049
DH
2821- The Load Balance Algorithm was misimplemented. The current implementation
2822 matches RFC 3074.
2823
2727c1cf
DH
2824- lcase() and ucase() configuration expressions have been added which adjust
2825 their arguments from upper to lower and lower to upper cases respectively.
2714a8ef 2826 Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
2727c1cf 2827
febbd402
DH
2828- The dhclient 'reject ...;' statement, which rejects leases given by named
2829 server-identifiers, now permits address ranges to be specified in CIDR
7d7073e7 2830 notation. Thanks to a patch from David Boyce.
febbd402 2831
ee912528
DH
2832- The subnet-mask option is now supplied by default, but at lowest
2833 priority. This helps a small minority of clients that provide parameter
2834 request lists, but do not list the subnet-mask option because they were
2835 designed to interoperate with a server that behaves in this manner.
2836
2837- The FQDN option is similarly supplied even if it does not appear on the
2838 parameter request list, but not to the exclusion of options that do
2839 appear at the parameter request list. Up until now it had ultimate
2840 priority over the client's parameter request list.
2841
f7fdb216 2842- Varying option space code and length bit widths (8/16/32) are now
51202707 2843 supported. This is a milestone in achieving RFC 3925 "VIVSO" and
f7fdb216
DH
2844 DHCPv6 support.
2845
5e864416
DH
2846- A new common (server or client) option, 'db-time-format local;', has
2847 been added which prints the local time in /var/db/dhcpd.leases rather
2848 than UTC. Thanks to a patch from Ken Lalonde.
2849
b500bd4c
DH
2850- Some patches to improve DHCP Server startup speed from Andrew Matheson
2851 have been incorporated.
2852
2426234f
DH
2853- Failover pairs now implement 'MAC Affinity' on leases moving from the
2854 active to free states. Leases that belonged to the failover secondary
2855 are moved to BACKUP state rather than FREE upon exiting EXPIRED state.
2856 If lease rebalancing must move leases, it tries first to move leases
2857 that belong to the peer in need.
2858
2859- The server no longer sends POOLREQ messages unless the pool is severely
2860 misbalanced in the peer's favor (see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more details).
2861
2862- Pool rebalance events no longer happen upon successfully allocating a
2863 lease. Instead, they happen on a schedule. See 'man dhcpd.conf' for the
2864 min-balance and max-balance statements for more information.
2865
334bf491
DH
2866- The DHCP Relay Agent Information Option / Link Selection Sub-Option
2867 is now supported. (See RFC3527 for details).
2868
3004bebf
DH
2869- A new DDNS related server option, update-conflict-detection, has been
2870 added. If this option is enabled, dhcpd will perform normal DHCID
2871 conflict resolution (the default). If this option is disabled, it will
2872 instead trust the assigned name implicitly (removing any other bindings
2873 on that name). This option has not been made available in dhclient.
2874
567e8561
DH
2875- In those cases where the DHCP software manufactures an IP header (to
2876 transmit via bpf, lpf, etc), the IP TTL the software selects has been
2877 increased from 16 to 128. This is intended to match Microsoft Windows
2878 DHCP Client behaviour, to increase compatibility.
2879
a396d25f
DH
2880- 'ignore client-updates;' now has behaviour that is different from
2881 'deny client-updates;'. The client's request is not truly ignored,
2882 rather it is encouraged. Should this value be configured, the server
2883 updates DNS as though client-updates were set to 'deny'. That is, it
2884 enters into DNS whatever it is configured to do already, provided it is
2885 configured to. Then it sends a response to the client that lets the
2886 client believe it is performing client updates (which it will), probably
2887 for a different name. In essence, this lets the client do as it will,
2888 ignoring this aspect of their request.
2889
dba5803b
DH
2890- Support for compressed 'domain name list' style DHCP option contents, and
2891 in particular the domain search option (#119) was added.
2892
41e45067 2893- The DHCP LEASEQUERY protocol as defined in RFC4388 is now implemented.
6d103865
SK
2894 LEASEQUERY lets you query the DHCP server for information about a lease,
2895 using either an IP address, MAC address, or client identifier. Thanks
2896 to a patch from Justin Haddad.
2897
41e45067
DH
2898- DHCPD is now RFC2131 section 4.1 compliant (broadcast to all-ones ip and
2899 ethernet mac address) on the SCO platform specifically without any strange
2900 ifconfig hacks. Many thanks go to the Kroger Co. for donating the
2901 hardware and funding the development.
6d103865 2902
b543fea9
DH
2903- A new common configuration executable statement, execute(), has been
2904 added. This permits dhcpd or dhclient to execute a named external
2905 program with command line arguments specified from other configuration
2906 language. Thanks to a patch written by Mattias Ronnblom, gotten to us
2907 via Robin Breathe.
2908
b22de500
DH
2909- A new dhcp server option 'adaptive-lease-time-threshold' has been added
2910 which causes the server to substantially reduce lease-times if there are
2911 few (configured percentage) remaining leases. Thanks to a patch submitted
2912 from Christof Chen.
2913
96bbe8c5
SK
2914- Encapsulated option spaces within encapsulated option spaces is now
2915 formally supported.
2916
b8221d95
DH
2917 Changes since 3.0.6rc1
2918
2919- supersede_lease() now requeues leases in their respective hardware
2920 address hash bucket. This mirrors client identifier behaviour.
2921
c1e6c832
DH
2922 Changes since 3.0.5
2923
f546c28b
DH
2924- Assorted fixes for broken network devices: Packet length is now
2925 determined from the IP header length field to finally calculate the
2926 UDP payload length, because some NIC drivers return more data than
5a22eb63 2927 they actually received.
f546c28b
DH
2928
2929- UDP packets are now stored in aligned data structures.
2930
c1e6c832
DH
2931- A logic error in omapi interface code was repaired that might result in
2932 incorrectly indicating 'up' state when any flags were set, rather than
23e10d37
DH
2933 specifically the INTERFACE_REQUESTED flag. Thanks to a patch from
2934 Jochen Voss which got to us via Andrew Pollock at Debian.
c1e6c832 2935
75ab3070
DH
2936- A reference leak on binding scopes set by ddns updates was repaired.
2937
d69fb6a8 2938- A memory leak in the minires_nsendsigned() function call was repaired.
23e10d37 2939 Effectively, this leaked ~176 bytes per DDNS update.
d69fb6a8 2940
02428754
DH
2941- In the case where an "L2" DHCP Relay Agent (one that does not set giaddr)
2942 was directly attached to the same broadcast domain as the DHCP server,
2943 the RFC3046 relay agent information option was not being returned to the
2944 relay in the server's replies. This was fixed; the dhcp server no longer
2945 requires the giaddr to reply with relay agent information. Note that
2946 this also improves compatibility with L2 devices that "intercept" DHCP
2947 packets and expect relay agent information even in unicast (renewal)
23e10d37
DH
2948 replies. Thanks to a patch from Pekka Silvonen.
2949
2950- A bug was fixed where the BOOTP header 'sname' field had a value, the
2951 copy written to persistent storage was actually the contents of the
2952 'file' field.
02428754 2953
ecde99a3
DH
2954- A bug was fixed where the nwip virtual option space was referencing
2955 the fqdn option's virtual option space's option cache.
2956
67674ffb
DH
2957- Timestamp parsing errors that indicated missing "minutes" fields rather
2958 than the actually missing "seconds" fields have been repaired thanks to
2959 a patch from Kevin Steves.
2960
830ebc4c
DH
2961- A grammar error in the dhclient.8 manpage was repaired thanks to a patch
2962 from Chris Wagner.
2963
c759db75
DH
2964- Several spelling typos were repaired, and some cross-references to other
2965 relevant documents were included in the manpages, thanks to a patch
2966 by Andrew Pollock which got to us via Tomas Pospisek.
2967
9aa3f3a5
DH
2968- Some bugs were fixed in the 'emergency relay agent options hologram'
2969 which is used to retain relay agent option contents from when the
2970 client was in INIT or REBIND states. This should solve problems where
2971 relay agent options were not echoed from the server, even when giaddr
2972 was set.
2973
3d0c598a
DH
2974- dhclient now closes its descriptor to dhclient.leases prior to executing
2975 dhclient-script. Thanks to a patch from Tomas Pospisek.
2976
d5b6835f
DH
2977- The server's "by client-id" and "by hardware address" hash table lists
2978 are now sorted according to the preference to re-allocate that lease to
2979 returning clients. This should eliminate pool starvation problems
2980 arising when "INIT" clients were given new leases rather than presently
2981 active ones.
2982
02428754 2983 Changes since 3.0.5rc1
0a73b7b6 2984
901306d5 2985- A bug was repaired in fixes to the dhclient, which sought to run the
0a73b7b6
SK
2986 dhclient-script with the 'EXPIRE' state should it receive a NAK in
2987 response to a REQUEST. The client now iterates the PREINIT state
2988 after the EXPIRE state, so that interfaces that might be configured
2989 'down' can be brought back 'up' and initialized.
2990
87a08ccc
DH
2991- DHCPINFORM handling for clients that properly set ciaddr and come to the
2992 server via a relay aget has been repaired.
2993
6da113fb
DH
2994 Changes since 3.0.4
2995
2996- A warning that host statements declared within subnet or shared-network
2997 scopes are actually global has been added.
2998
2999- The default minimum lease time (if min-lease-time was not specified)
3000 was raised from 0 to 300. 0 is not thought to be sensible, and is
3001 known to be damaging.
3002
3003- Added additional fatal error sanity checks surrounding lease binding
3004 state count calculations (free/active counts used for failover pool
3005 balancing).
3006
dcc557db
DH
3007- Some time value size fixes in 3.0.4 brought on from FreeBSD /usr/ports were
3008 misapplied to server values rather than client values. The server no longer
3009 advertises 8-byte lease-time options when on 64-bit platforms.
3010
1b2ab55f
DH
3011- A bug where leases not in ACTIVE state would get billed to billed classes
3012 (classes with lease limitations) was fixed. Non-active leases OFFERed
3013 to clients are no longer billed (but billing is checked before offering).
3014
e48891e8
DH
3015- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated in regard to the ddns-domainname
3016 configuration option - the default configuration and results should be
3017 more clear now.
3018
6cbc6629
DH
3019- If the dhclient were to receive a DHCPNAK while it was in the RENEW
3020 state (and consequently, had an active, 'bound' address and related
3021 configuration options), it would fail to 'tear down' this information
3022 before proceeding into INIT state. dhclient now iterates the dhclient-
3023 script with the 'EXPIRE' action to cause these teardowns prior to entering
1d3bfb17 3024 INIT state. Thanks to a patch from Chris Zimmerman.
6cbc6629 3025
c5fec5fa
DH
3026- The omapi.1 manpage had some formatting errors repaired thanks to a patch
3027 from Yoshihiko Sarumaru.
3028
33e1cb2b
DH
3029- A few lines of code that were failover-specific were moved within
3030 #if defined() clauses so that compilation without failover could be
3031 made possible.
3032
2bddf829
DH
3033- The log message emitted when the 'leased-address' value was not available
3034 in dhcpd.conf "executable statements" has been updated to be more helpful.
3035 Manpage information for this value has also been updated.
3036
87578987
DH
3037- Abandoned or dissociated (err condition) leases now remove any related
3038 dynamic dns bindings. Thanks to a patch from Patrick Schoo.
3039
e77c575f
DH
3040- Attempting to write a new lease file to replace a corrupt (due to
3041 encountering non-retryable errors during writing) lease file should
3042 no longer result in an infinite recursion.
3043
2178df03
DH
3044- Host declaration hardware addresses and client identifiers may only be
3045 configured once. dhcpd will now fail to load config files that specify
3046 multiple identifiers (previous versions would silently over-ride the
3047 value with the later configured value).
3048
d5341d9b
SK
3049- Several option codes that have been allocated since our last release
3050 have been named and documented.
3051
3052- Option names of the form "unknown-123" have been removed from the in-
3053 memory hash tables. In order to support options of these names that
3054 may appear in dhclient.leases or similar in previous versions, the
3055 parser will now find the new option code definition, or mock up a
3056 generic option code definition. This should result in a smooth
3057 transition from one name to the other, as the new name is used to
3058 write new output.
3059
6da113fb
DH
3060 Changes since 3.0.4rc1
3061
3062- The dhcp-options.5 manpage was updated to correct indentation errors
3063 thanks to a patch from Jean Delvare.
3064
3065 Changes since 3.0.4b3
3066
3067- Some manual pages were clarified pursuant to discussion on the dhcp-server
3068 mailing list.
3069
88cd8aca
DH
3070 Changes since 3.0.4b2
3071
45d545f0 3072- Null-termination sensing for certain clients that unfortunately require
88cd8aca
DH
3073 it in DHCPINFORM processing was repaired.
3074
3075- The host-name option and a few others were moved from "X" format to "t"
3076 format to be compatible with new NULL handling functions.
3077
3078- DHCPINFORM processing is a little more careful about return addressing
3079 its responses, or if responding via a relay. The INFORM related
3080 messages also log the 'effective client ip address' rather than the
3081 client's supplied ciaddr (since some clients produce null ciaddrs).
3082
3083- The server was inappropriately sending leases to the RESET state in the
3084 event that multiple active leases were found to match a singly-identified
3085 client. This was changed to RELEASED (by accepting a different, ACTIVE
3086 binding, the client is implicitly releasing its lease). This repairs a
3087 bug wherein secondary servers in failover pairs detecting this condition
3088 move leases to RESET, and primaries refuse to accept that state
3089 transition (properly).
3090
3091- The memset-after-dmalloc() changes made in 3.0.4b1 have been backed out.
3092
3093 Changes since 3.0.4b1
3094
3095- Command line parsing in omshell was repaired - it no longer closes
3096 STDIN after reading one line.
3097
3098- The resolver library no longer closes the /etc/resolv.conf file
3099 descriptor it opened twice.
3100
3101- Changes to trailing NULL removal in 't' option-atoms has been rethought,
3102 it now includes 'd' (domain name) types, and tries hard not to rewind an
3103 option beyond the start of the text field it is un-terminating.
3104
3105 Changes since 3.0.3
3106
3107- A DDNS update handling function was misusing the DNS error codes, rather
3108 than the internal generic result enumeration. The result is a confusing
3109 syslog line, logging the wrong condition.
3110
3111- The DHCP Server was not checking pool balance in the case where it brought
3112 a non-ACTIVE lease out of storage for a client that was returning to use
3113 a lease it once had long ago, and had since expired.
3114
3115- Failover peers no longer bother to look for free leases to allocate when
3116 they already found the client's ACTIVE lease. DISCOVERs are load balanced
98bd7ca0 3117 whether freely-allocated or not, unless the server doubts the peer has
88cd8aca
DH
3118 leases to allocate.
3119
3120- Fixed a bug in dhcrelay agent addition code that suppressed trailing
45d545f0 3121 PAD options - it was suppressing only one trailing PAD option, rather
88cd8aca
DH
3122 than the entire block of them.
3123
3a16098f
DH
3124! Fixed some unlikely overlapping-region memcpy() bugs in dhcrelay agent
3125 option addition and stripping code. Added a few sanity checks. Although
3126 highly improbable, due to requiring the reception of a DHCP datagram well
3127 in excess of all known to be used physical MTU limitations, it is possible
3128 this may have been used in a stack overflow security vulnerability. Thanks
3129 to a patch from infamous42md.
3130
3131! Added some sanity checks to OMAPI connection/authentication code.
3132 Although highly improbable, due to having to deliver in excess of 2^32
3133 bytes of data via the OMAPI channel, not to mention requiring dhcpd to
3134 be able to malloc() a memory region 2^32 bytes in size, it was possible
3135 this might have resulted in a heap overflow security vulnerability.
3136 Thanks to a patch from infamous42md.
88cd8aca
DH
3137
3138- dmalloc() memset()'s the non-debug (data) portion of the allocated
3139 memory to zero. Code that memset()'s the result returned by dmalloc() to
3140 zero is redundant. These redundancies were removed.
3141
3142- Some type declaration corrections to u_int16_t were made in common/tr.c
4b97eaff 3143 (Token Ring support) thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
88cd8aca
DH
3144
3145- A failover bug that was allowing leases that EXPIRED or were RELEASED
3146 where tsfp and tstp are identical timestamps to languish in these
3147 transitional states has been repaired. As a side effect, lease
3148 databases should be kept more consistent overall, not just for these
3149 transitional states.
3150
3151- If the lease db is deleted out from under the daemon, and it moves to rewrite
3152 the db, it will go ahead with the operation and move the new db into place
3153 once it detects the old db does not exist.
3154
3155- dhclient now ignores IRDA, SIT, and IEEE1394 network interfaces, as it
3156 is either nonsensical or (in the case of IEEE1394) is not known to support
3157 these interfaces. Thanks to Marius Gedminas and Andrew Pollock of Debian.
3158
3159- Some previously undocumented reasons for dhclient-script invoking has
45d545f0 3160 been documented in the dhclient-script.8 manpage.
88cd8aca
DH
3161
3162- Failover potential expiry calculations (TSTP) have been corrected. Results
3163 should be substantially more consistent, and proper given the constraints.
3164
3165- Adjusted lease state validation checks in potential-conflict, to
3166 account for possible clock skew similarly to normal state, and several
3167 previously illegal transitions were made legal (ex: active->released).
3168
3169- An impossible sanity check was removed from omapi/buffer.c, thanks to a
3170 patch from 'infamous42md'.
3171
3172- An OMAPI host/network byte order problem in lease time values has been
3173 repaired.
3174
3175- Several minor bugs, largely relating to treating 8-byte time values as
3176 4-byte entities, have been repaired after careful review of the FreeBSD
3177 ports collection's patch set. Thanks to the nameless entities who have
3178 contributed to the FreeBSD ports.
3179
3180- When writing a trace file, the file is now created with permissions 0600,
3181 to help administrators avoid accidentally publicising sensitive config
3182 data.
3183
3184- The calculation of the maximum size of DHCP packets no longer includes
3185 Ethernet framing overhead. The result is that the 'Maximum Message
3186 Size' option advertised by clients, or the default value 576, is no
3187 longer reduced by 14 bytes, and instead directly reflects the IP level
3188 MTU (and the default, minimum allowed IP MTU of 576).
3189
3190- The special status of RELEASED/EXPIRED/RESET leases when a server
3191 is operating in partner-down was fixed. It no longer requires a
3192 lease be twice the MCLT beyond STOS to 'reallocate', and the expiry
3193 event to turn these into FREE leases without peer acknowledgement
3194 (after STOS+MCLT) has been repaired.
3195
3196- Compilation on older Solaris systems (lacking /usr/include/sys/int_types.h)
3197 has been repaired.
3198
3199- "append"ing a string onto the end of a "t" type option (such as the
3200 domain-name field) that had been improperly NULL-terminated by the
3201 DHCP server will no longer result in a truncated string containing
3202 only the option from the server, and not the expected appended value.
4b97eaff 3203 Thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.

3204
3205- File handlers on configuration state (config files and lease dbs) should
98bd7ca0 3206 be treated consistently, regardless of whether TRACING is defined or not.
88cd8aca 3207
45d545f0 3208- The Linux build environment has had some minor improvements - better
88cd8aca
DH
3209 sensing of 64-bit pointer sizes (only used for establishing an icmp_id),
3210 and corrections to #if operators regarding LINUX_MAJOR should it ever
3211 move to 3.[01].x.
3212
3213- The server now tries harder to survive the condition where it is unable
3214 to open a new lease file to rewrite the lease state database.
3215

3216 Changes since 3.0.3b3
3217
3218- dhclient.conf documentation for interface {} was updated to reflect recent
3219 discussion on the dhcp-hackers mailing list.
3220
3221- In response to reports that the software does not compile on GCC 4.0.0,
3222 -Werror was removed from Makefile.conf for all platforms that used it.
3223 We will address the true problem in a future release; this is a temporary
3224 workaround.
3225
3226 Changes since 3.0.3b2
3227
3228- An error in code changes introduced in 3.0.3b2 was corrected, which caused
3229 static BOOTP clients to receive random addresses.
3230
3231 Changes since 3.0.3b1
3232
3233- A bug was fixed in BOOTPREQUEST handling code wherein stale references to
3234 host records would be left behind on leases that were not allocated to the
3235 client currently booting (eg in the case where the host was denied booting).
3236
3237- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated to be more clear in regards to
3238 multiple host declarations (thanks to Vincent McIntyre). 'Interim' style
3239 dynamic updates were also retouched.
3240
98311e4b
DH
3241 Changes since 3.0.2
3242
3243- A bug was fixed where a server might load balance a DHCP REQUEST to its
45d545f0 3244 peer after already choosing not to load balance the preceding DISCOVER.
98311e4b
DH
3245 The peer cannot allocate the originating server's lease.
3246
3247- In the case where a secondary server lost its stable storage while the
3248 primary was still in communications-interrupted, and came back online,
3249 the lease databases would not be fully transferred to the secondary.
3250 This was due to the secondary errantly sending an extra UPDREQ message
3251 when the primary made its state transition to PARTNER-DOWN known.
3252
3253- The package will now compile cleanly in gcc 3.3 and 3.4. As a side effect,
3254 lease structures will be 9 bytes smaller on all platforms. Thanks to
4b97eaff 3255 Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3256
3257- Interface discovery code in DISCOVER_UNCONFIGURED mode is now
3258 properly restricted to only detecting broadcast interfaces. Thanks
4b97eaff 3259 to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3260
3261- decode_udp_ip_header was changed so that the IP address was copied out
3262 to a variable, rather than referenced by a pointer. This enforces 4-byte
3263 alignment of the 32-bit IP address value. Thanks to a patch from Dr.
3264 Peter Poeml.
3265
3266- An incorrect log message was corrected thanks to a patch from
3267 Dr. Peter Poeml.
3268
3269- A bug in DDNS was repaired, where if the server's first DDNS action was
3270 a DDNS removal rather than a DDNS update, the resolver library's
3271 retransmit timer and retry timer was set to the default, implying a
3272 15 second timeout interval. Which is a little excessive in a synchronous,
3273 single-threaded system. In all cases, ISC DHCP should now hold fast to
3274 a 1-second timeout, trying only once.
3275
3276- The siaddr field was being improperly set to the server-identifier when
3277 responding to DHCP messages. RFC2131 clarified the siaddr field as
3278 meaning the 'next server in the bootstrap process', eg a tftp server.
3279 The siaddr field is now left zeroed unless next-server is configured.
3280
3281- mockup_lease() could have returned in an error condition (or in the
3282 condition where no fixed-address was found matching the shared
3283 network) with stale references to a host record. This is probably not
3284 a memory leak since host records generally never die anyway.
3285
3286- A bug was repaired where failover servers would let stale client identifiers
3287 persist on leases that were reallocated to new clients not sending an id.
3288
3289- Binding scopes ("set var = value;") are now removed from leases allocated
3290 by failover peers if the lease had expired. This should help reduce the
3291 number of stale binding scopes on leases.
3292
3293- A small memory leak was closed involving client identifiers larger than
3294 7 bytes, and failover.
3295
3296- Configuring a subnet in dhcpd.conf with a subnet mask of 32 bits might
3297 cause an internal function to overflow heap. Thanks to Jason Vas Dias
4b97eaff 3298 at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3299
3300- Some inconsistencies in treating numbers that the lexer parsed as 'NUMBER'
3301 or 'NUMBER_OR_NAME' was repaired. Hexadecimal parsing is affected, and
3302 should work better.
3303
3304- In several cases, parse warnings were being issued before the lexical
3305 token had been advanced to the token whose value was causing an error...
3306 causing parse warnings to claim the problem is on the wrong token.
3307
3308- Host declarations matching on client identifier for dynamic leases will
3309 no longer match fixed-address host declarations (this is now identical
3310 to behaviour for host records matching on hardware address).
3311
3312 Changes since 3.0.2rc3
3313
3314- A previously undocumented configuration directive, 'local-address',
3315 was documented in the dhcpd.conf manpage.
3316
3317 Changes since 3.0.2rc2
3318
45d545f0 3319- Two variables introduced in 3.0.2b1 were used without being initialized
98311e4b
DH
3320 in the case where neither the FILE nor SNAME fields were available for
3321 overloading. This was repaired.
3322
3323- A heretofore believed to be impossible corner case of the option
3324 overloading implementation turned out to be possible ("Unable to sort
3325 overloaded options after 10 tries."). The implementation was reworked
3326 to consider the case of an option so large it would require more than
3327 three chunks to fit.
3328
3329- Many other instances of variables being used without being initialized
3330 were repaired.
3331
3332- An uninitialized variable in omapi_io_destroy() led to the discovery
3333 that this function may result in orphaned pointers (and hence, a memory
3334 leak).
3335
3336 Changes since 3.0.2rc1
3337
3338- allocate_lease() was rewritten to repair a bug in which the server would
3339 try to allocate an ABANDONED lease when FREE leases were available.
3340
3341 Changes since 3.0.2b1
3342
3343- Some dhcp-eval.5 manpage formatting was repaired.
3344
3345 Changes since 3.0.1
3346
3347- A bug was fixed in the server's 'option overloading' implementation,
3348 where options loaded into the 'file' and 'sname' packet fields were
3349 not aligned precisely as rfc2131 dictates.
3350
3351- The FreeBSD client script was changed to support the case where a domain
3352 name was not provided by the server.
3353
3354- A memory leak in 'omshell' per each command line parsed was
3355 repaired, thanks to a patch from Jarkko Torppa.
3356
3357- Log functions writing to stderr were adjusted to use the STDERR_FILENO
3358 system definition rather than '2'. This is a no-op for 90% of platforms.
3359
3360- One call to trace_write_packet_iov() counted the number of io vectors
3361 incorrectly, causing inconsistent tracefiles. This was fixed.
3362
3363- Some expression parse failure memory leaks were closed.
3364
3365- A host byte order problem in tracefiles was repaired.
3366
3367- Pools configured in DHCPD for failover possessing permission lists that
adb95d23 3368 previously were assumed to not include dynamic bootp clients are now
98311e4b
DH
3369 a little more pessimistic. The result is, dhcpd will nag you about just
3370 about most pools that possess a 'allow' statement with no 'deny' that
3371 would definitely match a dynamic bootp client.
3372
3373- The 'ddns-update-style' configuration warning bit now insists that
3374 the configuration be globally scoped.
3375
3376- Two memory leaks in dhclient were closed thanks to a patch from Felix
3377 Farkas.
3378
3379- Some minor but excellently pedantic documentation errors were fixed
3380 thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
3381
3382- Bugs in operator precedence in executable statements have been repaired
3383 once again. More legal syntaxes should be parsed legally.
3384
3385- Failing to initialize a tracefile for any reason if a tracefile was
3386 specified is now a fatal error. Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
3387
3388- Corrected a bug in which the number of leases transferred as calculated
3389 by the failover primary and sent to peers in POOLRESP responses may be
3390 incorrect. This value is not believed to be used by other failover
3391 implementations, excepting perhaps as logged information.
3392
3393- Corrected a bug in which 'dhcp_failover_send_poolresp()' was in fact
3394 sending POOLREQ messages instead of POOLRESP mesasges. This message
3395 was essentially ignored since failover secondaries effectively do not
3396 respond to POOLREQ messages.
3397
3398- Type definitions for various bitwidths of integers in the sunos5-5
3399 build of ISC DHCP have been fixed. It should compile and run more
3400 easily when built in 64-bit for this platform.
3401
3402- "allow known-clients;" is now a legal syntax, to avoid confusion.
3403
3404- If one dhcp server chooses to 'load balance' a request to its failover
3405 peer, it first checks to see if it believes said peer has a free
3406 lease to allocate before ignoring the DISCOVER.
3407
3408- log() was logging a work buffer, rather than the value returned by
3409 executing the statements configured by the user. In some cases,
3410 the work buffer and the intended results were the same. In some other
3411 cases, they were not. This was fixed thanks to a patch from Gunnar
3412 Fjone and directconnect.no.
3413
3414- Compiler warnings for some string type conversions was fixed, thanks
3415 to Andreas Gustafsson.
3416
3417- The netbsd build environments were simplified to one, in which
3418 -Wconversion is not used, thanks to Andreas Gustafsson.
3419
3420- How randomness in the backoff-cutoff dhclient configuration variable
3421 is implemented was better documented in the manpage, and the behaviour
3422 of dhclient in REQUEST timeout handling was changed to match that of
3423 DISCOVER timeout handling.
3424
3425- Omapi was hardened against clients that pass in null values, thanks
3426 to a patch from Mark Jason Dominus.
3427
3428- A bug was fixed in dhclient that kept it from doing client-side
3429 ddns updates. Thanks to a patch from Andreas Gustafsson, which
3430 underwent some modification after review by Jason Vas Dias.
3431
3432- Failover implementations disconnected due to the network between
3433 them (rather than one of the two shutting down) will now try to
3434 re-establish the failover connection every 5 seconds, rather than
3435 to simply try once and give up until one of them is restarted.
3436 Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from Infoblox, and field testing
3437 by Greger V. Teigre which led to an enhancement to it.
3438
3439- A problem that kept DHCP Failover secondaries from tearing down
3440 ddns records was repaired. Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from
3441 Infoblox.
3442
3443- 64bit pointer sizes are detected properly on FreeBSD now.
3444
3445- A bug was repaired where the DHCP server would leave stale references
3446 to host records on leases it once thought about offering to certain
3447 clients. The result would be to apply host and 'known' scopes to the
3448 wrong clients (possibly denying booting). NOTE: The 'mis-host' patch
3449 that was being circulated as a workaround is not the way this bug was
3450 fixed. If you were a victim of this bug in 3.0.1, you are cautioned
3451 to proceed carefully and see if it fixes your problem.
3452
3453- A bug was repaired in the server's DHCPINFORM handling, where it
3454 tried to divine the client's address from the source packet and
3455 would get it wrong. Thanks to Anshuman Singh Rawat.
3456
3457- A log message was introduced to help illuminate the case where the
3458 server was unable to find a lease to assign to any BOOTP client.
3459 Thanks to Daniel Baker.
3460
3461- A minor dhcpd.conf.5 manpage error was fixed.
3462
3463 Changes since 3.0.1rc14
3464
3465- The global variable 'cur_time' was centralized and is now uniformly of a
3466 type #defined in system-dependent headers. It had previously been defined
3467 in one of many places as a 32-bit value, and this causes mayhem on 64-bit
3468 big endian systems. It probably wasn't too healthy on little endian
3469 systems either.
3470
3471- A printf format string error introduced in rc14 was repaired.
3472
3473- AIX system-dependent header file was altered to only define NO_SNPRINTF
3474 if the condition used to #ifdef in vsnprintf in AIX' header files
3475 is false.
3476
3477- The Alpha/OSF system-dependent header file was altered to define
3478 NO_SNPRINTF on OS revisions older than 4.0G.
3479
3480- omapip/test.c had string.h added to its includes.
3481
3482 Changes since 3.0.1rc13
3483
3484! CAN-2004-0460 - CERT VU#317350: Five stack overflow exploits were closed
3485 in logging messages with excessively long hostnames provided by the
3486 clients. It is highly probable that these could have been used by
3487 attackers to gain arbitrary root access on systems using ISC DHCP 3.0.1
3488 release candidates 12 or 13. Special thanks to Gregory Duchemin for
3489 both finding and solving the problem.
3490
3491! CAN-2004-0461 - CERT VU#654390: Once the above was closed, an opening
45d545f0 3492 in log_*() functions was evidenced, on some specific platforms where
98311e4b
DH
3493 vsnprintf() was not believed to be available and calls were wrapped to
3494 sprintf() instead. Again, credit goes to Gregory Duchemin for finding
3495 the problem. Calls to snprintf() are now linked to a distribution-local
3496 snprintf implementation, only in those cases where the architecture is
3497 not known to provide one (see includes/cf/[arch].h). If you experience
3498 linking problems with snprintf/vsnprintf or 'isc_print_' functions, this
3499 is where to look. This vulnerability did not exist in any previously
3500 published version of ISC DHCP.
3501
3502- Compilation on hpux 11.11 was repaired.
3503
3504- 'The cross-compile bug fix' was backed out.
3505
3506 Changes since 3.0.1rc12
3507
3508- Fixed a bug in omapi lease lookup function, to form the hardware
3509 address for the hash lookup correctly, thanks to a patch from
3510 Richard Hirst.
3511
3512- Fixed a bug where dhcrelay was sending relayed responses back to the
3513 broadcast address, but with the source's unicast mac address. Should
3514 now conform to rfc2131 section 4.1.
3515
3516- Cross-compile bug fix; use $(AR) instead of ar. Thanks to Morten Brorup.
3517
3518- Fixed a crash bug in dhclient where dhcpd servers that do not provide
3519 renewal times results in an FPE. As a side effect, dhclient can now
3520 properly handle 0xFFFFFFFF (-1) expiry times supplied by servers. Thanks
3521 to a patch from Burt Silverman.
3522
3523- The 'ping timeout' debugs from rc12 were removed to -DDEBUG only,
45d545f0 3524 and reformatted to correct a compilation error on Solaris platforms.
98311e4b
DH
3525
3526- A patch was applied which fixes a case where leases read from the
3527 leases database do not properly over-ride previously read leases.
3528
3529- dhcpctl.3 manpage was tweaked.
3530
3531 Changes since 3.0.1rc11
3532
3533- A patch from Steve Campbell was applied with minor modifications to
3534 permit reverse dns PTR record updates with values containing spaces.
3535
3536- A patch from Florian Lohoff was applied with some modifications to
3537 dhcrelay. It now discards packets whose hop count exceeds 10 by default,
3538 and a command-line option (-c) can be used to set this threshold.
3539
3540- A failover bug relating to identifying peers by name length instead of
3541 by name was fixed.
3542
45d545f0 3543- Declaring failover configs within shared-network statements should no
98311e4b
DH
3544 longer result in error.
3545
3546- The -nw command line option to dhclient now works.
3547
3548- Thanks to a patch from Michael Richardson:
3549 - Some problems with long option processing have been fixed.
3550 - Some fixes to minires so that updates of KEY records will work.
3551
3552- contrib/ms2isc was updated by Shu-Min Chang of the Intel Corporation.
3553 see contrib/ms2isc/readme.txt for revision notes.
3554
3555- Dhclient no longer uses shell commands to kill another instance of
3556 itself, it sends the signal directly. Thanks to a patch from Martin
3557 Blapp.
3558
3559- The FreeBSD dhclient-script was changed so that a failure to write to
3560 /etc/resolv.conf does not prematurely end the script. This keeps dhclient
3561 from looping infinitely when this is the case. Thanks to a patch from
3562 Martin Blapp.
3563
3564- A patch from Bill Stephens was applied which resolves a problem with lease
3565 expiry times in failover configurations.
3566
3567- A memory leak in configuration parsing was closed thanks to a patch from
3568 Steve G.
3569
3570- The function which discovers interfaces will now skip non-broadcast or
3571 point-to-point interfaces, thanks to a patch from David Brownlee.
3572
3573- Options not yet known by the dhcpd or dhclient have had their names
3574 changed such that they do not contain # symbols, in case they should ever
3575 appear in a lease file. An option that might have been named "#144" is
3576 now "unknown-144".
3577
3578- Another patch from Bill Stephens which allows the ping-check timeout to
3579 be configured as 'ping-timeout'. Defaults to 1.
3580
3581 Changes since 3.0.1rc10
3582
3583- Potential buffer overflows in minires repaired.
3584
3585- A change to the linux client script to use /bin/bash, since /bin/sh may
3586 not be bash.
3587
3588- Some missing va_end cleanups thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
3589
3590- A correction of boolean parsing syntax validation - some illegal syntaxes
3591 that worked before are now detected and produce errs, some legal syntaxes
3592 that errored before will now work properly.
3593
3594- Some search-and-replace errors that caused some options to change their
3595 names was repaired.
3596
3597- Shu-min Chang of the Intel corporation has contributed a perl script and
3598 module that converts the MS NT4 DHCP configuration to a ISC DHCP3
3599 configuration file.
3600
3601- Applied the remainder of the dhcpctl memory leak patch provided by Bill
3602 Squier at ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
3603
3604- Missing non-optional failover peer configurations will now result in a soft
3605 error rather than a null dereference.
3606
3607 Changes since 3.0.1rc9
3608
3609- A format string was corrected to fix compiler warnings.
3610
3611- A number of spelling corrections were made in the man pages.
3612
3613- The dhclient.conf.5 man page was changed to refer to do-forward-updates
3614 rather than a configuration option that doesn't exist.
3615
3616- A FreeBSD-specific bug in the interface removal handling was fixed.
3617
3618- A Linux-specific Token Ring detection problem was fixed.
3619
3620- Hashes removed from as-yet-unknown agent options, having those options
3621 appear in reality before we know about them will no longer produce
3622 self-corrupting lease databases.
3623
3624- dhclient will use the proper port numbers now when using the -g option.
3625
3626- A order-of-operations bug with 2 match clauses in 1 class statement is
3627 fixed thanks to a patch from Andrew Matheson.
3628
3629- Compilation problems on Solaris were fixed.
3630
3631- Compilation problems when built with DEBUG or DEBUG_PACKET were repaired.
3632
3633- A fix to the dhcp ack process which makes certain group options will be
3634 included in the first DHCPOFFER message was made thanks to a patch from
3635 Ling Gou.
3636
3637- A few memory leaks were repaired thanks to patches from Bill Squier at
3638 ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
3639
3640- A fix for shared-networks that sometimes give clients options for the
3641 wrong subnets (in particular, 'option routers') was applied, thanks to
3642 Ted Lemon for the patch.
3643
3644- Omshell's handling of dotted octets as values was changed such that dots
3645 one after the other produce zero values in the integer string.
3646
3647 Changes since 3.0.1rc8
3648
3649- Fix a format string vulnerability in the server that could lead to a
3650 remote root compromise (discovered by NGSEC Research Team, www.ngsec.com).
3651
3652- Add additional support for NetBSD/sparc64.
3653
3654- Fix a bug in the command-line parsing of the client. Also, resolve
3655 a memory leak.
3656
3657- Add better support for shells other than bash in the Linux client
3658 script.
3659
3660- Various build fixes for modern versions of FreeBSD and Linux.
3661
3662- Fix a bad bounds check when printing binding state names.
3663
3664- Clarify documentation about fixed-address and multiple addresses.
3665
3666- Fix a typo in the authoritative error message.
3667
3668- Make a log entry when we can't write a billing class.
3669
3670- Use conversion targets that are the right size on all architectures.
3671
3672- Increment the hop count when relaying.
3673
3674- Log a message when lease state is changed through OMAPI.
3675
3676- Don't rerun the shared_network when evaluating the pool.
3677
3678- Fix a reversed test in the parser.
3679
3680- Change the type of rbuf_max.
3681
3682- Make FTS_LAST a manifest constant to quiet warnings.
3683
3684 Changes since 3.0.1rc7
3685
3686- Fix two compiler warnings that are generated when compiling on Solaris
3687 with gcc. These stop the build, even though they weren't actually
3688 errors, because we prefer that our builds generate no warnings.
3689
3690 Changes since 3.0.1rc6
3691
3692- Don't allow a lease that's in the EXPIRED, RELEASED or RESET state
3693 to be renewed.
3694
3695- Implement lease stealing for cases where the primary has fewer leases
3696 than the secondary, as called for by the standard.
3697
3698- Add a fudge factor to the lease expiry acceptance code, (suggested
3699 by Kevin Miller of CMU).
3700
3701- Fix a bug in permit_list_match that made it much too willing to say
3702 that two permit lists matched.
3703
3704- Unless DEBUG_DNS_UPDATES is defined, print more user-friendly (and
3705 also more compact) messages about DNS updates.
3706
3707- Fix a bug in generating wire-format domain names for the FQDN option.
3708
3709- Fix a bug where the FQDN option would not be returned if the client
3710 requested it, contrary to the standard.
3711
3712- On Darwin, use the FreeBSD DHCP client script.
3713
3714- On NetBSD/sparc, don't check for casting warnings.
3715
3716- Add a flag in the DHCP client to disable updating the client's A
3717 record when sending an FQDN option indicating that the client is
3718 going to update its A record.
3719
3720- In the client, don't attempt a DNS update until one second after
3721 configuring the new IP address, and if the update times out, keep
3722 trying until a response, positive or negative, is received from the
3723 DNS server.
3724
3725- Fix an uninitialized memory bug in the DHCP client.
3726
3727- Apply some FreeBSD-specific bug fixes suggested by Murray Stokely.
3728
3729- Fix a bug in ns_parserr(), where it was returning the wrong sort
3730 of result code in some cases (suggested by Ben Harris of the
3731 NetBSD project).
3732
3733- Fix a bug in is_identifier(), where it was checking against EOF
3734 instead of the END_OF_FILE token (also suggested by Ben Harris).
3735
3736- Fix a bug where if an option universe contained no options, the
3737 DHCP server could dump core (Walter Steiner).
3738
3739- Fix a bug in the handling of encapsulated options.
3740
3741- Fix a bug that prevented NWIP suboptions from being processed.
3742
3743- Delete the FTS_BOOTP and FTS_RESERVED states and implement them
3744 as modifier flags to the FTS_ACTIVE state, as called for in the
3745 failover protocol standard.
3746
3747- Fix bugs in the pool merging code that resulted in references and
3748 dereferences of null pointers. This bug had no impact unless the
3749 POINTER_DEBUG flag was defined.
3750
3751- In the server, added a do-forward-updates flag that can be used to
3752 disable forward updates in all cases, so that sites that want the
3753 clients to take sole responsibility for updating their A record can
3754 do so.
3755
3756- Make it possible to disable optimization of PTR record updates.
3757
3758 Changes since 3.0.1rc5
3759
3760- Include some new documentation and changes provided by Karl Auer.
3761
3762- Add a workaround for some Lexmark printers that send a double-NUL-
3763 terminated host-name option, which would break DNS updates.
3764
3765- Fix an off-by-one error in the MAC-address checking code for
3766 DHCPRELEASE that was added in 3.0.1rc5.
3767
3768- Fix a bug where client-specific information was not being discarded
3769 from the lease when it expired or was released, resulting in
3770 problems if the lease was reallocated to a different client.
3771
3772- If more than one allocation pool is specified that has the same set
3773 of constraints as another allocation pool on the same shared
3774 network, merge the two pools.
3775
3776- Don't print an error in fallback_discard, since this just causes
3777 confusion and does not appear to be helping to encourage anyone to
3778 fix this bug.
3779
3780 Changes since 3.0.1rc4
3781
3782- Fix a bug that would cause the DHCP server to spin if asked to parse
3783 a certain kind of incorrect statement.
3784
3785- Fix a related bug that would prevent an error from being reported in
3786 the same case.
3787
3788- Additional documentation.
3789
3790- Make sure that the hardware address matches the lease when
3791 processing a DHCPRELEASE message.
3792
3793 Changes since 3.0.1rc3
3794
3795- A minor bug fix in the arguments to a logging function call.
3796- Documentation update for dhcpd.conf.
3797
adbef119 3798 Changes since 3.0.1rc2
98311e4b
DH
3799
3800- Allow the primary to send a POOLREQ message. This isn't what the current
3801 failover draft says to do, so we may have to back it out if I can't get the
3802 authors to relent, but the scheme for balancing that's specified in the
3803 current draft seems needlessly hairy, so I'm floating a trial balloon.
3804 The rc1 code did not implement the method described in the draft either.
3805
adbef119 3806 Changes since 3.0.1rc1
98311e4b
DH
3807
3808- Treat NXDOMAIN and NXRRSET as success when we are trying to delete a
3809 domain or RRSET. This allows the DHCP server to forget about a name
3810 it added to the DNS once it's been removed, even if the DHCP server
3811 wasn't the one that removed it.
3812
3813- Install defaults for failover maximum outstanding updates and maximum
3814 silent time. This prevents problems that might occur if these values
3815 were not configured.
3816
3817- Don't do DDNS deletes if ddns-update-style is none.
3818
3819- Return relay agent information options in DHCPNAK. This prevents DHCPNAK
3820 messages from being dropped when the relay agent information option contains
3821 routing information.
3822
3823- Fix a problem where coming up in recover wouldn't result in an update
3824 request being sent.
3825
3826- Add some more chatty messages when we start a recovery update and when it's
3827 done.
3828
3829- Fix a possible problem where some state might have been left around
3830 after the peer lost contact and regained contact about how many updates
3831 were pending.
3832
3833- Don't nix a lease update because of a lease conflict. This test has
3834 never (as far as I know) prevented a mistake, and it appears to cause
3835 problems with failover.
3836
3837- Add support in rc history code for keeping a selective history, rather
3838 than a history of all references and dereferences. This code is only used
3839 when extensive additional debugging is enabled.
3840
adbef119 3841 Changes since 3.0
98311e4b
DH
3842
3843- Make allocators for hash tables. As a side effect, this fixes a memory
3844 smash in the subclass allocation code.
3845
3846- Fix a small bug in omshell where if you try to close an object when
3847 no object is open, it dumps core.
3848
3849- Fix an obscure coredump that could occur on shutdown.
3850
3851- Fix a bug in the recording of host declaration rubouts in the lease file.
3852
3853- Fix two potential spins in the host deletion code.
3854
3855- Fix a core dump that would happen if an application tried to update
3856 a host object attribute with a null value.
3857
3858 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 12
3859
3860- Fix a memory leak in the evaluation code.
3861
3862- Fix an obscure core dump.
3863
3864- Print a couple of new warnings when parsing the configuration file
3865 when crucial information is left out.
3866
3867- Log "no free leases" as an error.
3868
3869- Documentation updates.
3870
3871 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 11
3872
3873- Always return a subnet selection option if one is sent.
3874
3875- Fix a warning that was being printed because an automatic data
3876 structure wasn't zeroed.
3877
3878- Fix some failover state transitions that were being handled
3879 incorrectly.
3880
3881- When supersede_lease is called on a lease whose end time has already
3882 expired, but for which a state transition has not yet been done, do
3883 a state transition. This fixes the case where if the secondary
3884 allocated a lease to a client and the lease "expired" while the
3885 secondary was in partner-down, no expiry event would actually
3886 happen, so the lease would remain active until the primary was
3887 restarted.
3888
3889 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 10
3890
3891- Fix a bug that was preventing released leases from changing state
3892 in failover-enabled pools.
3893
3894- Fix a core dump in the client identifier finder code (for host
3895 declarations).
3896
3897- Finish fixing a bug where bogus data would sometimes get logged to
3898 the dhclient.leases file because it was opened as descriptor 2.
3899
3900- Fix the Linux dhclient-script according to suggestions made by
3901 several people on the dhcp-client mailing list.
3902
3903- Log successful DNS updates at LOG_INFO, not LOG_ERROR.
3904
3905- Print an error message and refuse to run if a failover peer is
3906 defined but not referenced by any pools.
3907
3908- Correct a confusing error message in failover.

d758ad8c
TL
3922 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8 Patchlevel 1
3923
3924- Fix a parsing bug that broke dns updates (both interim and ad-hoc).
3925 This was introduced in rc8pl1 as an unintended result of the memory
3926 leakage fixes that were in pl1.
3927
3928- Fix a long-standing bug where the server would record that an update
3929 had been done for a client with no name, even though no update had
3930 been done, and then when the client's lease expired the deletion of
3931 that nonexistant record would time out because the name was the null
9a111ee8 3932 string.
d758ad8c
TL
3933
3934- Clean up the omshell, dhcpctl and omapi man pages a bit.

3936 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8
3937
3938- Fix a bug that could cause the DHCP server to spin if
3939 one-lease-per-client was enabled.
3940
3941- Fix a bug that was causing core dumps on BSD/os in the presence of
3942 malformed packets.
3943
3944- In partner-down state, don't restrict lease lengths to MCLT.
3945
3946- On the failover secondary, record the MCLT received from the primary
3947 so that if we come up without a connection to the primary we don't
3948 wind up giving out zero-length leases.
3949
3950- Fix some compilation problems on BSD/os.
3951
3952- Fix a bunch of memory leaks.
3953
3954- Fix a couple of bugs in the option printer.
3955
3956- Fix an obscure error reporting bug in the dns update code, and also
3957 make the message clearer when a key algorithm isn't supported.
3958
3959- Fix a bug in the tracing code that prevented trace runs that used
3960 tcp connections from being played back.
3961
3962- Add some additional debugging capability for catching memory leaks
3963 on exit.
3964
3965- Make the client release the lease correctly on shutdown.
3966
3967- Add some configurability to the build system.
3968
3969- Install omshell manual page in man1, not man8.
3970
3971- Craig Gwydir sent in a patch that fixes a long-standing bug in the
3972 DHCP client that could cause core dumps, but that for some reason
3973 hadn't been noticed until now.
3974
3975 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 7
3976
3977- Fix a bug in failover where we weren't sending updates after a
3978 transition from communications-interrupted to normal.
3979
3980- Handle expired/released/reset -> free transition according to the
3981 protocol specification (this works - the other way not only wasn't
3982 conformant, but also didn't work).
3983
3984- Add a control object in both client and server that allows either
3985 daemon to be shut down cleanly.
3986
3987- When writing a lease, if we run out of disk space, shut down the
3988 output file and insist on writing a new one before proceeding.
3989
3990- In the server, if the OMAPI listener port is occupied, keep trying
3991 to get it, rather than simply giving up and exiting.
3992
3993- Support fetching variables from leases and also updating and adding
3994 variables to leases via OMAPI.
3995
3996- If two failover peers have wildly different clocks, refuse to start
3997 doing failover.
3998
3999- Fix a bug in the DNS update code that could cause core dumps when
4000 running on alpha processors.
4001
4002- Fixed a bug in ddns updates for static lease entries, thanks to a
4003 patch from Andrey M Linkevitch.
4004
4005- Add support for Darwin/MacOS X
4006
4007- Install omshell (including new documentation).
4008
4009- Support DNS updates in the client (this is a very obscure feature
4010 that most DHCP client users probably will not be able to use).
4011
4012- Somewhat cleaner status logging in the client.
4013
4014- Make OMAPI key naming syntax compatible with the way keys are
4015 actually named (key names are domain names).
4016
4017- Fix a bug in the lease file writer.
4018
4019- Install DHCP ISC headers in a different place than BIND 9 ISC
4020 headers, to avoid causing trouble in BIND 9 builds.
4021
4022- Don't send updates for attributes on an object when the attributes
4023 haven't changed. Support deleting attributes on remote objects.
4024
4025- Fix a number of bugs in omshell, and add the unset and refresh
4026 statements.
4027
4028- Handle disconnects in OMAPI a little bit more intelligently (so that
4029 the caller gets ECONNRESET instead of EINVAL).
4030
4031- Fix a bunch of bugs in the handling of clients that have existing
4032 leases when the try to renew their leases while failover is
4033 operating.
4034

4035 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 6
4036
4037- Fix a core dump that could happen when processing a DHCPREQUEST from
4038 a client that had a host declaration that contained both a
4039 fixed-address declaration and a dhcp-client-identifier option
4040 declaration, if the client identifier was longer than nine bytes.
4041
4042- Fix a memory leak that could happen in certain obscure cases when
4043 using omapi to manipulate leases.
4044
4045- Fix some bugs and omissions in omshell.
4046

4047 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 5
4048
4049- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that prevented objects in
4050 chains from having their reference counts decreased on dereference.
4051
4052- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that would prevent object
4053 chains from being freed upon removal of the last reference external
4054 to the chain.
4055
4056- Fix a number of other memory leaks in the OMAPI protocol subsystem.
4057

4072 DHCPDECLINE.
4073
4074- Fix failover peer OMAPI support.
4075
4076- In failover, correctly handle expiration of leases. Previously,
4077 leases would never be reclaimed because they couldn't make the
4078 transition from EXPIRED to FREE.
4079
4080- Fix some broken failover state transitions.
4081
4082- Documentation fixes.
4083
4084- Take out an unnecessary check in DHCP relay agent information option
4085 stashing code that was preventing REBINDING clients from rebinding.
4086
4087- Prevent failover peers from allocating leases in DHCPREQUEST
4088 processing if the lease belongs to the other server.
4089
4090- Record server version in lease file introductory comment.
4091
4092- Correctly report connection errors in OMAPI and failover.
4093
4094- Make authentication signature algorithm name comparisons in OMAPI
4095 case-insensitive.
4096
4097- Fix compile problem on SunOS 4.x
4098
98311e4b 4099- If a signature algorithm is not terminated with '.', terminate it so
eaf0b302
TL
4100 that comparisons between fully-qualified names will work
4101 consistently.
4102
4103- Different SIOCGIFCONF probe code, may "fix" problem on some Linux
4104 systems with the probe not working correctly.

4111 the billing correctly - the previous method could overbill as a
4112 result of duplicate leases.

4119 Herranz for figuring out the main problem.

4122 core dumps.

4125 Friedrich.

4127- Fix a bug in lease billing, thanks to Jonas Bulow.
4128
4129 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 2
4130
4131- Change the conditions under which a DHCPRELEASE is actually
4132 committed to be consistent with lease binding states rather than
98311e4b 4133 using the lease end time. This may fix some problems with the
892fe689
TL
4134 billing class code.
4135
4136- Fix a bug where lease updates would fail on Digital Unix (and maybe
4137 others) because malloc was called with a size of zero.
4138
4139- Fix a core dump that happens when the DHCP server can't create its
4140 trace file.

79ea3de8 4142 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 1 Patchlevel 1
87784777 4143
79ea3de8
TL
4144- Fix the dhcp_failover_put_message to not attempt to allocate a
4145 zero-length buffer. Some versions of malloc() fail if you try to
4146 allocate a zero-length buffer, and this was causing problems on,
4147 e.g., Digital Unix.
4148
4149- Fix a case where the failover code was printing an error message
4150 when no error had occurred.
4151
4152- Fix a problem where when a server went down and back up again, the
4153 peer would not see a state transition and so would stay in the
4154 non-communicating state.
4155
4156- Be smart about going into recover_wait.
4157
4158- Fix a problem in the failover implementation where peers would fail
4159 to come into sync if interrupted in the RECOVER state. This could
4160 have been the cause of some problems people have reported recently.
4161
4162- Fix a problem with billing classes where they would not be unbilled
4163 when the client lease expired.
4164
4165- If select fails, figure out which descriptor is bad, and cut it out
4166 of the I/O loop. This prevents a potentially nasty spin. I
4167 haven't heard any report it in a while, but it came up consistently
4168 in testing.
4169
4170- Fix a bug in the relay agent where if you specified interfaces on
4171 the command line, it would fail.
4172
4173- Fix a couple of small bugs in the omapi connection object (no known
4174 user impact).
4175
4176- Add the missing 3.0 Beta 1 lease conversion script.
4177

4179 they're executable.

4231 Linux 2.0, which doesn't provide this functionality.

4238
4239- Document the -n and -g flags to the client.
4240
4241- Make sure there is always a stdin and stdout on startup. This
4242 prevents shell scripts from accidentally writing error messages into
4243 configuration files that happen to be opened as stderr.
4244
4245- If an interface is removed, the client will now notice that it is
4246 gone rather than spinning. This has only been tested on NetBSD.

4297 server (in theory). (Damien Neil)
4298
4299- Fix a case where if a client had two different leases the server could
4300 actually dereference the second one when it hadn't been referenced,
4301 leading to memory corruption and a core dump. (James Brister)
4302
4303- Fix a case where a client could request the address of another client's
4304 lease, but find_lease wouldn't detect that the other client had it, and
4305 would attempt to allocate it to the client, resulting in a lease conflict
4306 message.
4307
4308- Fix a case where a client with more than one client identifier could be
4309 given a lease where the hardware address was correct but the client
4310 identifier was not, resulting in a lease conflict message.

98311e4b 4312- Fix a problem where the server could write out a colon-separated

4313 hex list as a value for a variable, which would then not parse.
4314 The fix is to always write strings as quoted strings, with any
4315 non-printable characters quoted as octal escape sequences. So
4316 a file written the old way still won't work, but new files written
4317 this way will work.

4323 If you want to continue to use this convention for some options,
4324 please be sure to write a definition, like this:

4347- Add support for transaction tracing. This allows the state of the
4348 DHCP server on startup, and all the subsequent transactions, to be
4349 recorded in a file which can then be played back to reproduce the
4350 behaviour of the DHCP server. This can be used to quickly
4351 reproduce bugs that cause core dumps or corruption, and also for
4352 tracking down memory leaks.
4353
4354- Incorporate some bug fixes provided by Joost Mulders for the DLPI
4355 package which should clear up problems people have been seeing on
4356 Solaris.
4357

4359 options, fqdn options and nwip options) that could cause memory
4360 corruption and core dumps.

4409 was causing core dumps and failing to operate correctly - in
4410 particular, agent option stashing wasn't working. Agent option
4411 stashing should now be working, meaning that agent options can be
4412 used in class statements to control address allocation.

4424 transmitting packets to the server. Handy for debugging; not much
4425 practical use otherwise.

4440 the update even when they don't have any way to do it.

4442- Fix some log messages that can be printed when failover is operating
4443 that were not printing enough information.
4444
4445- It was possible for a DHCPDISCOVER to get an allocation even when
4446 the state machine said the server shouldn't be responding.
4447
4448- Don't load balance DHCPREQUESTs from clients in RENEWING and
4449 REBINDING, since in RENEWING, if we heard it, it's for us, and in
4450 REBINDING, the client wouldn't have got to REBINDING if its primary
4451 were answering.

4465 representation from working correctly.
4466

4468 hang that they both spotted in the DHCP server - when
4469 one-lease-per-client was set, the code to release the "other" lease
4470 could spin.
4471
4472- Fix a problem with alignment of the input buffer in bpf in cases
4473 where two packets arrive in the same bpf read.
4474
4475- Fix a problem where the relay agent would crash if you specified an
4476 interface name on the command line.
4477
4478- Add the ability to conditionalize client behaviour based on the
4479 client state.
4480
4481- Add support for the FQDN option, and added support for a new way of
4482 doing ddns updates (ddns update style interim) that allows more than
4483 one DHCP server to update the DNS for the same network(s). This
4484 was implemented by Damien Neil with some additional functionality
4485 added by Ted Lemon.
4486
4487- Damien added a "log" statement, so that the configuration file can
4488 be made to log debugging information and other information.
4489
4490- Fixed a bug that caused option buffers not to be terminated with an
4491 end option.
4492
4493- Fixed a long-standing bug in the support for option spaces where the
4494 options are stored as an ordered list rather than in a hash table,
4495 which could theoretically result in memory pool corruption.
4496
4497- Prevent hardware declarations with no actual hardware address from
4498 being written as something unparsable, and behave correctly in the
4499 face of a null hardware address on input.
4500
4501- Allow key names to be FQDNs, and qualify the algorithm name if it is
4502 specified unqualified.

4505 failed" message, but instead says *why* the resolver failed.

4508 RFC.

4570- Fix a possible DoS attack where a client could cause the checksummer
4571 to dump core. This was a read, not a write, so it shouldn't be
4572 possible to exploit it any further than that.
4573
4574- Implement client- and server-side support for using the Client FQDN
4575 option.
4576
4577- Support for other option spaces in the client has been added. This
4578 means that it is now possible to define a vendor option space on the
4579 client, request options in that space from the server (which must
4580 define the same option space), and then use those options in the
4581 client. This also allows NWIP and Client FQDN options to be used
4582 meaningfully.
4583
4584- Add object initializer support. This means that objects can now be
4585 initialized to something other than all-zeros when allocated, which
4586 makes, e.g., the interface object support code a little more robust.
4587
4588- Fix an off-by-one bug in the host stuffer. This was causing host
