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

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

66 working with the OpendBSD project who spotted the issue and provided the
67 patch.
e1b18c69
TM
68 [ISC-Bugs #36653]
69
fa54ba10
TM
70- Corrected rate limiting checks for bad packet logging. Thanks to Tobias

72 provided the patch.
0ce1aa94
TM
73 [ISC-Bugs #36897]
74
3956569b
TM
75- Log statements depicting what files will be used by the server now occur
76 after the configuration file has been processed.
77 [ISC-Bugs #36671]
78
36e2c224 79- Addressed Coverity issues reported as of 07-31-2014:
6444928c 80 [ISC-Bugs #36712] Corrects Coverity reported "high" impact issues.

83 compilers that was introduced by #36712
906ec9a7 84
2a537542
TM
85- Server now supports a failover split value of 256.
86 [ISC-Bugs] #36664]
87
1dceab6c
SR
88- Remove unneeded error #defines. These defines were included in case
89 external programs required the older versions of the macro. They
90 have been #ifdeffed for now and will be removed at a future date.
91 See site.h for the #define to include them again, but you should
92 switch to using the DHCP_R_* versions instead of the ISC_R_* versions.
93 Also ISC_R_MULTIPLE has been removed as it is also deifned in bind.
94 [ISC-Bugs #37128]
95
bd49432f
TM
96- Added checks in range6 and prefix6 statement parsing to ensure addresses
97 are within the declared. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the bug
98 report and patch.
99 [ISC-Bugs #32453]
7ff6ae5a
TM
100 [ISC-Bugs #17766]
101 [ISC-Bugs #18510]
102 [ISC-Bugs #23698]
103 [ISC-Bugs #28883]
104
105- Addressed checksum issues:
106 Added checksum readiness check to Linux packet filtering which eliminates
107 invalid packet drops due to checksum errors when checksum offloading is
108 in use. Based on dhcp-4.2.2-xen-checksum.patch made to the Fedora project.
109 [ISC-Bugs #22806]
110 [ISC-Bugs #15902]
111 [ISC-Bugs #17739]
112 [ISC-Bugs #18010]
113 [ISC-Bugs #22556]
114 [ISC-Bugs #29769]
115 Inbound packets with UPD checksums of 0xffff now validate correctly rather
116 than being dropped.
e046c826
TM
117 [ISC-Bugs #24216]
118 [ISC-Bugs #25587]
119
120- Added the echo-client-id configuration parameter to the server configuration.
121 The server now supports RFC 6842 compliant behavior by setting a new
122 configuration parameter, echo-client-id. When enabled, the server will
123 include the client identifier option (Option code 61) if received, in its
124 responses. The server identifier returned in NAKs (if enabled) will now
125 be the globally defined value (if one) if the server cannot attribute the
126 inbound request to a known subnet.

127 [ISC-Bugs #35958]
128 [ISC-Bugs #32545]
bd49432f 129
0a7e1a8a

130- Added support of the configuration parameter, use-host-decl-names, to
131 BOOTP request handling.
132 [ISC-Bugs #36233]
133
6067cd48
TM
134- Added logic to ignore the signal, SIGPIPE, which ensures write failures
135 will be delivered as errors rather than as SIGPIPE signals on all OSs.
136 Thanks to Marius Tomaschewski from SUSE who reported the issue and provided
137 the patch upon which the fix is based.
138 [ISC-Bugs #32222]
139
7d9dd306
TM
140 Changes since 4.3.1b1
141
142- Modify the linux and openwrt dhclient scripts to process information
143 from a stateless request. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the
144 bug report and patch.
f542e92b 145 [ISC-Bugs #36102]
7d9dd306 146
29c6b4f1
SR
147- Remove more unused RCSID tags. These weren't noticed in 4.3 as
148 the code isn't used anymore but we remove them here to keep the
149 code consistent across versions.
150 [ISC-Bugs #36451]
151
57187138 152 Changes since 4.3.0
01a44a77 153

170 to add multiple keys for a single zone. Thanks to a patch from Jiri
171 Popelka at Red Hat.
172 [ISC-Bugs #31892]
173
0da37b4c
SR
174- Fix some minor issues in the dst code.

179
dceef873
SR
180- Update the partner's stos (start time of state, basically when we last
181 heard from this partner) field when updating the state in failover.
182 [ISC-Bugs #35549]
183
5ade3c84 184- Modify the overload processing to allow space for the remote agent ID.
1be2ba15
SR
185 [ISC-Bugs #35569]

187 option in the list.
188 [ISC-Bugs #24580]
189
388cba45
SR
190- Remove the code that allows a server to follow RFC3315 instead of
191 the subsequent errata from August 2010 when determining which IAs
192 to include if no addresses will be assigned.
2c4be1d7 193 [ISC-Bugs #28938]
388cba45 194

b6ab3f6c
SR
198- Correct the v6 client timing code. When doing the timing backoff
199 for MRT limit it to MRD.
5ade3c84 200 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the bug report and fix.
b6ab3f6c
SR
201 [ISC-Bugs #21238
202
f950de77
SR
203- Add a log entry when killing a client and remove the PID files
204 when a server, relay or client are killed.
205 [ISC-Bugs #16970]
206 [ISC-Bugs #17258]
207
5ade3c84
SR
208- Some minor cleanups in the client code.
209 In addition to checking for dhcpc check for bootpc in the services list.
02b0bdc3
SR
210 [ISC-Bugs #18933]
211 Correct the client code to only try to get a lease once when the
212 given the "-1" argument.
5ade3c84 213 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the bug report and fix.
02b0bdc3
SR
214 [ISC-Bugs #26735]
215 When asked for the version don't send the output to syslog.
216 [ISC-Bugs #29772]
217 Add the next server information to the environment variables for
218 use by the client script. In order to avoid changing the client
219 lease file the next server information isn't written to it.
220 Thanks to Tomas Hozza at Red Hat for the suggestion and a prototype fix.
221 [ISC-Bugs #33098]
222
5ade3c84 223- Several updates to the dhcp server code.
d8c7c34e
SR
224 When not in quiet mode print out the files being used.
225 [ISC-Bugs #17551]
226 As accessing some pid files may require privileges move the dropping
227 of permission bits due to the paranoia patch to be after the pid code.
5ade3c84 228 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the bug report and fix.
d8c7c34e
SR
229 [ISC-Bugs #25806]
230 When processing a "--version" request don't output the version information
231 to syslog.
232
5ade3c84 233- Add the "enable-log-pid" build option to the configure script. When enabled
00e9af8e
SR
234 this causes the client, server and relay programs to include the PID
235 number in syslog messages.
236 Thanks to Marius Tomaschewski for the suggestion and proto-patch.
237 [ISC-Bugs #29713]
238
9279a3d7
SR
239- Add a #define to specify the prefix length used when a client attempts
240 to configure an address. This can be modified by editing includes/site.h.
241 By default it is set to 64. While 128 might be a better choice it would
242 also be a change for currently running systems, so we have left it at 64.
63c8800c 243 [ISC-Bugs #DHCP-2]
9279a3d7 244
79818c93
SR
245- Add a run time option to the client "-df" to allow the administrator to
246 point to a second lease file the client can search for a DUID. This can
247 be used to allow a v4 and a v6 instance of the client to share a DUID.
248 The second file will only be searched if there isn't a DUID in the main
249 lease file and the DUID will be written out to the main lease file.
250 [ISC-Bugs #34886]
251
8a2e40cf
SR
252- Have the client fsync the lease file to avoid lease corruption if the
253 client hibernates or otherwise shuts down.
254 [ISC-Bugs #35894]
255
59a351d6
SR
256- Add a check for L2VLAN in bpf.c to help support VLAN interfaces
257 Thanks to Steinar Haug for the suggestion.
258 [ISC-Bugs #36033]
259
0ab4a716
SR
260- Modify the handling of the resolv.conf file to allow the DHCP
261 process to start up even if the resolv.conf file has problems.
262 [ISC-Bugs #35989]
263
a89fd0cd 264- Add threshold logging functionality. Two new options,
250f7134
SR
265 log-threshold-low and log-threshold-high, indicate to the
266 server if and when it should log an error message as addresses
267 in a pool are used.
268 [ISC-Bugs #34487]
269
b05e05b7
SR
270- Add code to properly dereference a pointer in the dhclient code
271 on an error condition.
e9326fd0 272 [ISC-Bugs #36194]
b05e05b7 273
ad80055f
SR
274- Add code to help clean up soft leases.
275 [ISC-Bugs #36304]
276
e9326fd0
SR
277- Disable the gentle shutdown functionality until we can determine
278 the best way to present it to remove or reduce the side effects.
279 [ISC-Bugs #36066]
280
01a44a77
SR
281 Changes since 4.3.0rc1
282
283- None
284 Changes since 4.3.0b1
285
286- Tidy up receive packet processing.
287 Thanks to Brad Plank of GTA for reporting the issue and suggesting
288 a possible patch.
289 [ISC-Bugs #34447]
290
291 Changes since 4.3.0a1
292
293- Modify the message displayed when a process hits a fatal error.
294 The new message is much shorter and simply points to the README
295 and our website for directions on bug submissions.
296 [ISC-Bugs #24789]
297
298- Handle an absent resolv.conf file better.
299 [ISC-Bugs #35194]
300
6980ae03 301 Changes since 4.2.0 (new features)
51b8a8a0
SR
302
303- If a client renews before 'dhcp-cache-threshold' percent of its lease
304 has elapsed (default 25%), the server will reuse the allocated lease
305 (provide a lease within the currently allocated lease-time) rather
306 than extend or renew the lease. This absolves the server of needing
307 to perform an fsync() operation on the lease database before reply,
308 which improves performance. [ISC-Bugs #22228]
80778e94 309 Updated this patch to support asynchronous DDNS. If the server is
8cd88e20 310 attempting to do DDNS on a lease it should be udpated and written to
4809ef5c 311 disk even if that wouldn't be necessary due to the thresholding.
8cd88e20 312 [ISC-Bugs #26311]
51b8a8a0 313
6980ae03
SR
314- The 'no available billing' log line now also logs the name of the last
315 matching billing class tried before failing to provide a billing.
316 [ISC-Bugs #21759]
317
32e651c4
SR
318- A problem with missing get_hw_addr function when --enable-use-sockets
319 was used is now solved on GNU/Linux, BSD and GNU/Hurd systems. Note
320 that use-sockets feature was not tested on those systems. Client and
321 server code no longer use MAX_PATH constant that is not defined on
3cb6f9bb 322 GNU/Hurd systems. [ISC-Bugs #25979]
32e651c4 323
67418698
SR
324- Add a perl script in the contrib directory, dhcp-lease-list.pl, which
325 can parse v4 lease files and output the lease information in a more
326 human friendly manner. This was written by Christian Hammers with
327 some updates by vom and ISC. This is contributed code and is not
328 supported by ISC; however it may be useful to some users.
329 [ISC-Bugs #20680]
330
a7341359 331- Add support in v6 for on-commit, on-expire and on-release.
4809ef5c 332 [ISC-Bugs #27912]
a7341359 333
01fa619f
SR
334- Add support for using classes with v6.
335 [ISC-Bugs #26510]
336
d7d9c0c7
SR
337- Update the DDNS code to current standards and allow for sharing
338 of DDNS entries between v4 and v6 clients. The new code is used
339 if the ddns-update-style is set to "standard", the older code is
340 still available if ddns-update-style is set to "interim". The
341 oldest DDNS code "ad-hoc" has been removed. Thanks to Thomas Pegeot
342 who submitted a patch for this issue. This patch is based on
343 that work with some modifications.
64fb661c 344 [ISC-Bugs #21139]
1534fff7 345
cde11a4c
SR
346- Add a configuration option to the server to suppress using fsync().
347 Enabling this option will mean that fsync() is never called. This
348 may provide better performance but there is also a risk that a lease
349 will not be properly written to the disk after it has been issued
350 to a client and before the server stops. Using this option is
351 not recommended.
64fb661c 352 [ISC-Bugs #34810]
cde11a4c 353
f88446f1
SR
354- Add some logging statements to indicate when the server is ready
355 to serve. One statement is emitted after the server has finished
356 reading its files and is about to enter the dispatch loop.
357 This is "Server starting service.".
358 The second is emitted when a server determines that both it and
359 its failover peer are in the normal state.
360 This is "failover peer <name>: Both servers normal."
64fb661c 361 [ISC-Bugs #33208]
f88446f1 362
619304cd
SR
363- Add support for accessing options from v6 relays. The v6relay
364 statement allows the administrator to choose which relay to
365 use when searching for an option, see the dhcp-options man page
6b9c9f87
SR
366 for a description. The host-identifier option has also been
367 updated to support the use of relay options, see the dhcpd.conf
619304cd
SR
368 man page for a description.
369 [ISC-Bugs #19598]
370
e54ff84f 371- When doing DDNS if there isn't an appropriate zone statement attempt
80778e94 372 to find a reasonable nameserver via a DNS resolver. This restores
e54ff84f
SR
373 some functionality that was lost in the transition to asynchronous
374 DDNS. Due to the lack of security and increase in fragility of the
375 system when using this feature we strongly recommend the use of
376 appropriate zone statements rather than using this functionality.
377 [ISC-Bugs #30461]
378
61ef216b
SR
379- Add support for specifying the address from which to send
380 DDNS updates on the DHCP server. There are two new options
381 "ddns-local-address4" and "ddns-local-address6" that each take
382 one instance of their respective address types.
383 [ISC-Bugs #34779]
4d079f0e 384
38ee81bd
SR
385- Add ignore-client-uids option in the server. This option causes
386 the server to not record a client's uid in its lease. This
387 violates the specification but may also be useful when a client
388 can dual boot using different client ids but the same mac address.
6b9c9f87 389 Thank you to Brian De Wolf at Cal Poly Pomona for the patch.
38ee81bd
SR
390 [ISC-Bugs #32427]
391 [ISC-Bugs #35066]
4d079f0e
SR
392
393- Extend the DHCPINFORM processing to honor the subnet selection option
394 and take host declarations into account.
395 Thanks to Christof Chen for testing and submitting the patch.
396 [ISC-Bugs #35015]
397
fe2ac9e3
SR
398- Extend the hardware expression to look into the lease structure
399 for a hardware address if there is no packet. This allows the
400 server to find the hardware address during on-expiry processing.
401 [ISC-Bugs #24584]
61ef216b 402
bc30c84e
SR
403- Add definitions for some options that have been specified by the IETF.

ccc2a367 405 [ISC-Bugs #35198]
bc30c84e 406
01a44a77 407 Changes since 4.2.0 (bug fixes)
8ee352ee 408
01a44a77
SR
409- When using 'ignore client-updates;', the FQDN returned to the client
410 is no longer truncated to one octet.
8ee352ee 411
01a44a77 412- Cleaned up an unused hardware address variable in nak_lease().
4889a646 413
01a44a77
SR
414- Manpage entries for the ia-pd and ia-prefix options were updated to
415 reflect support for prefix delegation.

419- An optimization described in the failover protocol draft is now included,
420 which permits a DHCP server operating in communications-interrupted state
421 to 'rewind' a lease to the state most recently transmitted to its peer,
422 greatly increasing a server's endurance in communications-interrupted.
423 This is supported using a new 'rewind state' record on the dhcpd.leases
424 entry for each lease.

835 code to the DDNS handling. This code included a bug that caused it
836 to attempt to dereference a NULL pointer and eventually segfault.
837 While reviewing the code as we addressed this problem, we determined
838 that some of the updates to the lease structures would not work as
839 planned since the structures being updated were in the process of
840 being freed: these updates were removed. In addition we removed an
841 incorrect call to the DDNS removal function that could cause a failure

945! Previously the server code was relaxed to allow packets with zero
946 length client ids to be processed. Under some situations use of
947 zero length client ids can cause the server to go into an infinite
948 loop. As such ids are not valid according to RFC 2132 section 9.14
949 the server no longer accepts them. Client ids with a length of 1
950 are also invalid but the server still accepts them in order to
951 minimize disruption. The restriction will likely be tightened in
952 the future to disallow ids with a length of 1.

1185- Fix a build error in dhcrelay, using older versions of gcc with
1186 dhcpv6 disabled.

1191- Fixed a cosmetic bug where pretty-printing valid domain-search options would
1192 result in an erroneous error log message ('garbage in format string').

f9453d21
DH
1194- A bug in DLPI packet transmission (Solaris, HP/UX) that caused the server
1195 to stop receiving packets is fixed. The same fix also means that the MAC
1196 address will no longer appear 'bogus' on DLPI-based systems.
1197
1198- A bug in select handling was discovered where the results of one select()
1199 call were discarded, causing the server to process the next select() call
1200 and use more system calls than required. This has been repaired - the
1201 sockets will be handled after the first return from select(), resulting in
1202 fewer system calls.

DH
1204- The update-conflict-detection feature would leave an FQDN updated without
1205 a DHCID (still currently implemented as a TXT RR). This would cause later
1206 expiration or release events to fail to remove the domain name. The feature
1207 now also inserts the client's up to date DHCID record, so records may safely
1208 be removed at expiration or release time. Thanks to a patch submitted by
1209 Christof Chen.

DH
1211- Memory leak in the load_balance_mine() function is fixed. This would
1212 leak ~20-30 octets per DHCPDISCOVER packet while failover was in use
1213 and in normal state.

1234- Fixed a bug where an OMAPI socket disconnection message would not result
1235 in scheduling a failover reconnection, if the link had not negotiated a

1237 timeouts).

DH
1261- Secondary servers in a failover pair will now perform ddns removals if
1262 they had performed ddns updates on a lease that is expiring, or was
1263 released through the primary. As part of the same fix, stale binding scopes
1264 will now be removed if a change in identity of a lease's active client is
1265 detected, rather than simply if a lease is noticed to have expired (which it
1266 may have expired without a failover server noticing in some situations).

DH
1268- A patch supplied by David Cantrell at RedHat was applied that detects
1269 invalid calling parameters given to the ns_name_ntop() function.
1270 Specifically, it detects if the caller passed a pointer and size pair
1271 that causes the pointer to integer-wrap past zero.

1279- Both host and subnet6 configuration groups are now included whether a
1280 fixed-address6 (DHCPv6) is in use or not. Host scoped configuration takes
1281 precedence. This fixes two bugs, one where host scoped configuration
1282 would not be included from a non-fixed-address6 host record, and the equal
1283 and opposite bug where subnet6 scoped configuration would not be used when
571c38b0 1284 over-riding values were not present in a matching fixed-address6 host

SR
1290- Modified the handling of a connection to avoid releasing the omapi io
1291 object for the connection while it is still in use. One symptom from

1293 to the failover primary if their clocks were not synchronized.

SR
1295- Clean up to allow compilation with gcc 2.95.4 on FreeBSD. Remove an
1296 extra semi-colon from common/dns.c and moved setting a variable to NULL
1297 in server/dhcpv6.c to allow the compiler to decide that the variable
1298 was always properly set.

DH
1404- A bug in subnet6 parsing where options contained in subnet6 clauses would
1405 not be applied to clients addressed within that network was repaired.
1406
1407- When configuring a "subnet {}" or "subnet6 {}" without an explicit
1408 shared-network enclosing it, the DHCP software would synthesize a
1409 shared-network to contain the subnet. However, all configuration
1410 parameters within the subnet more intuitively belong "to any client
1411 on that interface", or rather the synthesized shared-network. So,
1412 when a shared-network is synthesized, it is used to contain the
1413 configuration present inside the subnet {} clause. This means that
1414 the configuration will be valid for all clients on that network, not
1415 just those addressed out of the stated subnet. If you intended the
1416 opposite, the workaround is to explicitly configure an empty
1417 shared-network.
1418
1419- A bug was fixed where Information-Request processing was not sourcing
1420 configured option values.

1423 support class statements.

01a54c17
EH
1475- The dhclient-script was updated to create a host route for the default
1476 gateway if the supplied subnet mask for an IPv4 address was a /32. This
1477 allows the client to work in 'captive' network environments, where the
1478 operator does not want clients to crosstalk directly.
1479
1480- MINUS tokens should be parseable again.
1481
1482- Multiple (up to "delayed-ack x;" maximum) DHCPv4 packets are now queued and
1483 released in bursts after single fsync() events when the upper limit is
1484 reached or if the receiving sockets go dry. The practical upshot is
1485 that fsync-coupled server performance is now multiplicitively increased.
1486 The default delayed ack limit is 28. Thanks entirely to a patch from
1487 Christof Chen.

2c9bf1f4
DH
1523- The minimum site code value was set to 224 in 3.1.0 to track RFC3942. This
1524 broke a lot of legacy site local configurations. The new code in place will
1525 track site local space minimum option codes and logs a warning to encourage
1526 updates and exploration of site local code migration problems. Option
1527 codes less than 128 in site local spaces remain inaccessible.
1528
1529- A possible relay agent option bug was repaired where random server
1530 initialization state may have been used to signal the relay agent
1531 information options sub-option code for the 'END' of the option space.

SK
1537- When server is configured with options that it overrides, a warning is
1538 issued when the configuration file is read, rather than at the time the
1539 option is overridden. This was important, because the warning was given
1540 every time the option was overridden, which could create a lot of
1541 unnecessary logging.

6f76de58
SK
1578- When addresses were passed as hints to the server in an IA, they were
1579 incorrectly handled, sometimes being treated as an error. Now the

1583- If the client had multiple addresses, and one expired (was not renewed
1584 by the server), the client would continue to attempt to renew the same
1585 old address over and over. Now, the client will omit any expired
1586 addresses from future Confirm, Renew, or Rebind messages.
1587
1588- dhclient -6 will now select renew/rebind timers based upon the longest
1589 address expiration time rather than the shortest expiration time, in
1590 order to avoid cascading renewals in the event a server elects not to
1591 extend one of multiple IAADDR leases.

DH
1613- ./configure now autodetects local database locations rather than trying
1614 to put dhcpd.leases and dhclient.leases in /usr/local/var/db, which no
1615 one ever has.

SK
1617- Regression fix for bug where server advertised a IPv6 address in
1618 response to a SOLICIT but would not return the address in response
1619 to a REQUEST.

9f1d5a2f
DH
1621- A bug was fixed where the DHCPv6 server puts the NoAddrsAvail status
1622 code in the IA_NA was fixed. The status code now appears in the root
1623 level.

b1d3778c
DH
1629- Relative time may now be used as a qualifier for 'allow' and 'deny' access
1630 control lists. These directives may be used to assist in re-addressing
1631 address pools without having to constantly reconfigure the server. Please
1632 see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more information on allow/deny 'after time' syntax.
1633 Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen.

DH
1635- The server will now include multiple IA_NA's and multiple IAADDRs within
1636 them, if advertised by the client. It still only seeks to allocate one
1637 new address.

75135a3f
EH
1641- Use different paths for PID and lease files when running in DHCPv4
1642 or DHCPv6 mode, so that servers for both protcols can be run
1643 simultaneously on a single interface.

1645- Fixed a buffer overflow error which could have allowed a denial
1646 of service under unusual server configurations

1649
f765ec36

DH
1653- The peer_wants_leases() changes pulled up from 3.1.0 were corrected,
1654 'never used' leases will no longer consistently shift between servers
1655 on every pool rebalance run.

1657- sendmsg()/recvmsg() control buffers are now declared in such a way to
1658 ensure they are correctly aligned on all (esp. 64-bit) architectures.

1660- The client leasing subsystem was streamlined and corrected to account
1661 more closely for changes in client link attachment selection.

884a458f
SK
1665- The DHCP server no longer requires a "ddns-update-style" statement,
1666 and now defaults to "none", which means DNS updates are disabled.

1687- DHCPv6 server Confirm message processing has been enhanced - it no
1688 longer replies only to clients with host {} records, it now replies
1689 as directed in RFC3315 section 18.2.2 - that is, to all clients
1690 regardless of the existence of bindings.

1692- A core dump during expired lease cleanup has been repaired.
1693
7285af30
DH
1694- DDNS updates state information are now stored in 'binding scopes' that
1695 follow the leases through their lifecycles. This enables DDNS teardowns
1696 on leases that are assigned and expired inbetween a server restart (the
1697 state is recovered from dhcpd.leases). Arbitrary user-specified binding
1698 scopes ('set var = "value";') are not yet supported.

a512d11b 1792
4ba58919
DH
1793- DHCPv4 I/O methods that failed to sense hardware address were corrected.
1794
1795- DHCPv4 is now the default (as documented) rather than DHCPv6. The default
1796 was set to DHCPv6 to facilitate ease early development, and forgotten.
1797
1798- Corrected a segmentation violation in DHCPv4 socket processing.
1799
8ea19a71 1800- dhclient will now fork() into the background once it binds to an
45d545f0 1801 IPv6 address, or immediately if the -n flag is supplied.
8ea19a71
DH
1802

98bd7ca0
DH
1812 Changes since 3.1.0 (NEW FEATURES)
1813
1814- DHCPv6 Client and Server protocol support. Use '-6' to run the daemons
1815 as v6-only. Use '-4' to run the daemons as v4-only (default. There is
1816 no support currently for both.
1817
1818- Server support for multiple IA_NA options, containing at most one
1819 IAADDR option.
1820
1821- Client support for one IA_NA option, containing any number of IAADDR
1822 options.
1823
1824- Server support for the DHCPv6 Information-request message.
1825
1826- Inappropriate unicast DHCPv6 messages sent to the server are now
1827 discarded, and this has rearchitected the IO system slightly.
1828
1829- The DHCPv6 server DUID defaults to type 1, is persistently stored in
1830 the leases database, and can be over-ridden (either completely, or by
1831 specifying type 1 or type 2).
1832
1833- The server only uses Rapid-Commit if it has been configured with the
1834 Rapid-Commit option and the client requests it.
1835
1836- DDNS support. We now update AAAA records in the same place we would
1837 update A records, if we have an IPv6 address. We also generate IP6.ARPA
1838 style names for PTR records if we're dealing with an IPv6 address. Both
1839 A and AAAA updates are done using the same 'fqdn.' virtual option space
1840 (although the DHCPv4 FQDN and DHCPv6 FQDN options are formatted
1841 differently, they both use the same code here).
1842
1843- The Linux dhclient-script attempts to set and remove assigned addresses,
1844 and to configure /etc/resolv.conf from nameserver and domain name
1845 configurations. It can be extended to configure other parameters.
1846
1847- Initial DHCPv6 lease support.
1848
1849- The IO system now tracks all local IP addresses, so that the DHCP
1850 applications (particularly the dhcrelay) can discern between what frames
1851 were transmitted to it, and what frames are being carried through it which
1852 it should not intercept.
1853
1418fd11
DH
1854 Changes since 3.1.0 (Maintenance)
1855
1856- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for virgin leases always
1857 mapped to the primary. Virgin leases now have an interleaved preference
1858 between primary and secondary.
1859
1860- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for clients with no client
1861 identifier was sometimes mishashed to the peer. Load balancing during
1862 runtime and pool rebalancing were opposing.
1863
aa3e348e
DH
1864- An assertion in lease counting relating to reserved leases was repaired.
1865
e9c59645
DH
1866- The subnet-mask option inclusion now conforms with RFC2132 section 3.3;
1867 it will only appear prior to the routers option if it is present on the
1868 Parameter-Request-List. The subnet-mask option will also only be
1869 included by default (if it is not on the PRL) in response to DISCOVER
1870 or REQUEST messages.
1871
1872- The FQDN option is only supplied if the client supplied an FQDN option or
1873 if the FQDN option was explicitly requested on the PRL.

1875- Dynamic BOOTP leases are now load balanced in failover.

1880 failover protected subnets was removed.
1881
a512cc3a
DH
1882 Changes since 3.1.0b2
1883
1884- Failover rebalance events no longer play ping pong with round errors
1885 (moving leases between free and back to backup where there are an
1886 odd number of leases).
1887
1888- The 'pool' log line has been split into two messages, one before the
1889 rebalance run, and one after.
1890
1891- Any queued BNDACKs are transmitted before transmitting new BNDUPDs.
1892 This enforces the correct sequence of events for the remote server
1893 processing these messages.
1894
fe5b0fdd 1895 Changes since 3.1.0b1

1898 objects.
1899
1ba87b37
EH
1900- A new server config option "fqdn-reply" specifies whether the server
1901 should send out option 81 (FQDN). Defaults to "on". If set to "off",
1902 the FQDN option is not sent, even if the client requested it. This is
1903 needed because some clients misbehave otherwise. Thanks to Christof Chen
1904 at Allianz.
1905
a58da042
EH
1906- Allow trace output files (-tf option) to be overwritten, rather than
1907 crashing dhcpd if the file already exists
1908
61252edf

1909- A bug was fixed that caused dhcpd to segfault if a pool was declared
1910 outside the scope of a subnet in dhcpd.conf.

27837f95
DH
1912- Some uninitialized values were repaired in dhcpleasequery.c that
1913 caused the server to abort.
1914
4d2eaafb
DH
1915- A new server config option, 'do-reverse-updates', has been added
1916 which causes the server to abstain from performing updates on PTR
1917 records. Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen at Allianz.

06211b40
DH
1919- A bug was repaired in subencapsulation support, where spaces separated
1920 by empty spaces would not get included.
1921
d6614ea2
DH
1922- A bug in dhclient was repaired which caused it to send parameter request
1923 lists of 55 bytes in length no matter how long the declared PRL was.

132d38f2
DH
1925- 'dhcp.c(3953): non-null pointer' has been repaired. This fixes a flaw
1926 wherein the DHCPv4 server may ignore a configured server-identifier.

1949 hash table was repaired.
1950
616d67cb
DH
1951- The servers now try harder to transmit pending binding updates when
1952 entering normal state.
1953
1954- UPDREQ/UPDREQALL handling was optimized - it no longer dequeues and
1955 requeues all pending updates. This should reduce the number of spurious
66c8f734
DH
1956 'xid mismatch' log messages.
1957
1958- An option definition referencing leak was fixed, which resulted in early
1959 termination of dhclient upon the renewal event.
616d67cb 1960
6708d944
DH
1961- Some default hash table sizes were tweaked, some upwards, some downwards.
1962 3.1.0a1's tables resulted in a reduction in default server memory use.
1963 The new selected values provide more of a zero sum (increasing the size
1964 of tables likely to be populated, decreasing the size of tables unlikely).
1965
45d545f0 1966- Lease structures appear in three separate hashes: by IP address, by UID,
6708d944
DH
1967 and by hardware address. One type of table was used for all three, and
1968 improvements to IP address hashing were applied to all three (so UID and
1969 hardware addresses were treated like 4-byte integers). There are now two
1970 types of tables, and the uid/hw hashes use functions more appropriate
1971 to their needs.
1972
1973- The max-lease-misbalance percentage no longer causes scheduled rebalance
1974 runs to be skipped: it still governs the schedule, but every scheduled
1975 run will attempt balance.
1976
a7ee93fe
DH
1977- A segfault bug in recursive encapsulation support has been corrected.
1978
98311e4b
DH
1979 Changes since 3.0 (New Features)
1980
1981- A workaround for certain STSN servers that send a mangled domain-name
1982 option was introduced for dhclient. The client will now accept corrupted
1983 server responses, if they contain a valid DHCP_MESSAGE_TYPE (OFFER, ACK,
1984 or NAK). The server will continue to not accept corrupt client packets.
1985
98bd7ca0 1986- Support for 'reserved' (pseudo-static) and BOOTP leases via failover
a55ccdd0 1987 was introduced.
98311e4b
DH
1988
1989- Support for adding, removing, and managing class and subclass statements
1990 via OMAPI.
1991
a55ccdd0
DH
1992- The failover implementation was updated to comply with revision 12 of
1993 the protocol draft.
1994
98311e4b
DH
1995- 'make install' now creates the initial zero-length dhcpd.leases file if
1996 one does not already exist on the system.
1997
b43c87ad 1998- RFC3942 compliance, site-local option spaces start at 224 now, not 128.
b43c87ad 1999
0b17f049
DH
2000- The Load Balance Algorithm was misimplemented. The current implementation
2001 matches RFC 3074.
2002
2727c1cf
DH
2003- lcase() and ucase() configuration expressions have been added which adjust
2004 their arguments from upper to lower and lower to upper cases respectively.
2714a8ef 2005 Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
2727c1cf 2006
febbd402
DH
2007- The dhclient 'reject ...;' statement, which rejects leases given by named
2008 server-identifiers, now permits address ranges to be specified in CIDR
7d7073e7 2009 notation. Thanks to a patch from David Boyce.
febbd402 2010
ee912528
DH
2011- The subnet-mask option is now supplied by default, but at lowest
2012 priority. This helps a small minority of clients that provide parameter
2013 request lists, but do not list the subnet-mask option because they were
2014 designed to interoperate with a server that behaves in this manner.
2015
2016- The FQDN option is similarly supplied even if it does not appear on the
2017 parameter request list, but not to the exclusion of options that do
2018 appear at the parameter request list. Up until now it had ultimate
2019 priority over the client's parameter request list.
2020
f7fdb216 2021- Varying option space code and length bit widths (8/16/32) are now
51202707 2022 supported. This is a milestone in achieving RFC 3925 "VIVSO" and
f7fdb216
DH
2023 DHCPv6 support.
2024
5e864416
DH
2025- A new common (server or client) option, 'db-time-format local;', has
2026 been added which prints the local time in /var/db/dhcpd.leases rather
2027 than UTC. Thanks to a patch from Ken Lalonde.
2028

DH
2029- Some patches to improve DHCP Server startup speed from Andrew Matheson
2030 have been incorporated.
2031
2426234f
DH
2032- Failover pairs now implement 'MAC Affinity' on leases moving from the
2033 active to free states. Leases that belonged to the failover secondary
2034 are moved to BACKUP state rather than FREE upon exiting EXPIRED state.
2035 If lease rebalancing must move leases, it tries first to move leases
2036 that belong to the peer in need.
2037
2038- The server no longer sends POOLREQ messages unless the pool is severely
2039 misbalanced in the peer's favor (see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more details).
2040
2041- Pool rebalance events no longer happen upon successfully allocating a
2042 lease. Instead, they happen on a schedule. See 'man dhcpd.conf' for the
2043 min-balance and max-balance statements for more information.
2044

DH
2045- The DHCP Relay Agent Information Option / Link Selection Sub-Option
2046 is now supported. (See RFC3527 for details).
2047
3004bebf
DH
2048- A new DDNS related server option, update-conflict-detection, has been
2049 added. If this option is enabled, dhcpd will perform normal DHCID
2050 conflict resolution (the default). If this option is disabled, it will
2051 instead trust the assigned name implicitly (removing any other bindings
2052 on that name). This option has not been made available in dhclient.
2053
567e8561
DH
2054- In those cases where the DHCP software manufactures an IP header (to
2055 transmit via bpf, lpf, etc), the IP TTL the software selects has been
2056 increased from 16 to 128. This is intended to match Microsoft Windows
2057 DHCP Client behaviour, to increase compatibility.
2058
a396d25f
DH
2059- 'ignore client-updates;' now has behaviour that is different from
2060 'deny client-updates;'. The client's request is not truly ignored,
2061 rather it is encouraged. Should this value be configured, the server
2062 updates DNS as though client-updates were set to 'deny'. That is, it
2063 enters into DNS whatever it is configured to do already, provided it is
2064 configured to. Then it sends a response to the client that lets the
2065 client believe it is performing client updates (which it will), probably
2066 for a different name. In essence, this lets the client do as it will,
2067 ignoring this aspect of their request.

DH
2069- Support for compressed 'domain name list' style DHCP option contents, and
2070 in particular the domain search option (#119) was added.
2071
41e45067 2072- The DHCP LEASEQUERY protocol as defined in RFC4388 is now implemented.
6d103865
SK
2073 LEASEQUERY lets you query the DHCP server for information about a lease,
2074 using either an IP address, MAC address, or client identifier. Thanks
2075 to a patch from Justin Haddad.

DH
2077- DHCPD is now RFC2131 section 4.1 compliant (broadcast to all-ones ip and
2078 ethernet mac address) on the SCO platform specifically without any strange
2079 ifconfig hacks. Many thanks go to the Kroger Co. for donating the
2080 hardware and funding the development.
6d103865 2081

DH
2082- A new common configuration executable statement, execute(), has been
2083 added. This permits dhcpd or dhclient to execute a named external
2084 program with command line arguments specified from other configuration
2085 language. Thanks to a patch written by Mattias Ronnblom, gotten to us
2086 via Robin Breathe.
2087

DH
2088- A new dhcp server option 'adaptive-lease-time-threshold' has been added
2089 which causes the server to substantially reduce lease-times if there are
2090 few (configured percentage) remaining leases. Thanks to a patch submitted
2091 from Christof Chen.
2092

2093- Encapsulated option spaces within encapsulated option spaces is now
2094 formally supported.

2096 Changes since 3.0.6rc1

2098- supersede_lease() now requeues leases in their respective hardware
2099 address hash bucket. This mirrors client identifier behaviour.

f546c28b
DH
2103- Assorted fixes for broken network devices: Packet length is now
2104 determined from the IP header length field to finally calculate the
2105 UDP payload length, because some NIC drivers return more data than
5a22eb63 2106 they actually received.

DH
2110- A logic error in omapi interface code was repaired that might result in
2111 incorrectly indicating 'up' state when any flags were set, rather than
23e10d37
DH
2112 specifically the INTERFACE_REQUESTED flag. Thanks to a patch from
2113 Jochen Voss which got to us via Andrew Pollock at Debian.

2115- A reference leak on binding scopes set by ddns updates was repaired.

d69fb6a8 2117- A memory leak in the minires_nsendsigned() function call was repaired.
23e10d37 2118 Effectively, this leaked ~176 bytes per DDNS update.

DH
2120- In the case where an "L2" DHCP Relay Agent (one that does not set giaddr)
2121 was directly attached to the same broadcast domain as the DHCP server,
2122 the RFC3046 relay agent information option was not being returned to the
2123 relay in the server's replies. This was fixed; the dhcp server no longer
2124 requires the giaddr to reply with relay agent information. Note that
2125 this also improves compatibility with L2 devices that "intercept" DHCP
2126 packets and expect relay agent information even in unicast (renewal)
23e10d37
DH
2127 replies. Thanks to a patch from Pekka Silvonen.
2128
2129- A bug was fixed where the BOOTP header 'sname' field had a value, the
2130 copy written to persistent storage was actually the contents of the
2131 'file' field.

DH
2147- Some bugs were fixed in the 'emergency relay agent options hologram'
2148 which is used to retain relay agent option contents from when the
2149 client was in INIT or REBIND states. This should solve problems where
2150 relay agent options were not echoed from the server, even when giaddr
2151 was set.

2153- dhclient now closes its descriptor to dhclient.leases prior to executing
2154 dhclient-script. Thanks to a patch from Tomas Pospisek.

d5b6835f
DH
2156- The server's "by client-id" and "by hardware address" hash table lists
2157 are now sorted according to the preference to re-allocate that lease to
2158 returning clients. This should eliminate pool starvation problems
2159 arising when "INIT" clients were given new leases rather than presently
2160 active ones.

02428754 2162 Changes since 3.0.5rc1
0a73b7b6 2163
901306d5 2164- A bug was repaired in fixes to the dhclient, which sought to run the
0a73b7b6
SK
2165 dhclient-script with the 'EXPIRE' state should it receive a NAK in
2166 response to a REQUEST. The client now iterates the PREINIT state
2167 after the EXPIRE state, so that interfaces that might be configured
2168 'down' can be brought back 'up' and initialized.

2170- DHCPINFORM handling for clients that properly set ciaddr and come to the
2171 server via a relay aget has been repaired.

2173 Changes since 3.0.4
2174
2175- A warning that host statements declared within subnet or shared-network
2176 scopes are actually global has been added.
2177
2178- The default minimum lease time (if min-lease-time was not specified)
2179 was raised from 0 to 300. 0 is not thought to be sensible, and is
2180 known to be damaging.
2181
2182- Added additional fatal error sanity checks surrounding lease binding
2183 state count calculations (free/active counts used for failover pool
2184 balancing).
2185
dcc557db
DH
2186- Some time value size fixes in 3.0.4 brought on from FreeBSD /usr/ports were
2187 misapplied to server values rather than client values. The server no longer
2188 advertises 8-byte lease-time options when on 64-bit platforms.
2189
1b2ab55f
DH
2190- A bug where leases not in ACTIVE state would get billed to billed classes
2191 (classes with lease limitations) was fixed. Non-active leases OFFERed
2192 to clients are no longer billed (but billing is checked before offering).
2193
e48891e8
DH
2194- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated in regard to the ddns-domainname
2195 configuration option - the default configuration and results should be
2196 more clear now.
2197
6cbc6629
DH
2198- If the dhclient were to receive a DHCPNAK while it was in the RENEW
2199 state (and consequently, had an active, 'bound' address and related
2200 configuration options), it would fail to 'tear down' this information
2201 before proceeding into INIT state. dhclient now iterates the dhclient-
2202 script with the 'EXPIRE' action to cause these teardowns prior to entering
1d3bfb17 2203 INIT state. Thanks to a patch from Chris Zimmerman.

2205- The omapi.1 manpage had some formatting errors repaired thanks to a patch
2206 from Yoshihiko Sarumaru.

2208- A few lines of code that were failover-specific were moved within
2209 #if defined() clauses so that compilation without failover could be
2210 made possible.

DH
2212- The log message emitted when the 'leased-address' value was not available
2213 in dhcpd.conf "executable statements" has been updated to be more helpful.
2214 Manpage information for this value has also been updated.
2215

2216- Abandoned or dissociated (err condition) leases now remove any related
2217 dynamic dns bindings. Thanks to a patch from Patrick Schoo.

DH
2219- Attempting to write a new lease file to replace a corrupt (due to
2220 encountering non-retryable errors during writing) lease file should
2221 no longer result in an infinite recursion.
2222
2178df03
DH
2223- Host declaration hardware addresses and client identifiers may only be
2224 configured once. dhcpd will now fail to load config files that specify
2225 multiple identifiers (previous versions would silently over-ride the
2226 value with the later configured value).
2227
d5341d9b
SK
2228- Several option codes that have been allocated since our last release
2229 have been named and documented.
2230
2231- Option names of the form "unknown-123" have been removed from the in-
2232 memory hash tables. In order to support options of these names that
2233 may appear in dhclient.leases or similar in previous versions, the
2234 parser will now find the new option code definition, or mock up a
2235 generic option code definition. This should result in a smooth
2236 transition from one name to the other, as the new name is used to
2237 write new output.

2249 Changes since 3.0.4b2
2250
45d545f0 2251- Null-termination sensing for certain clients that unfortunately require
88cd8aca
DH
2252 it in DHCPINFORM processing was repaired.
2253
2254- The host-name option and a few others were moved from "X" format to "t"
2255 format to be compatible with new NULL handling functions.
2256
2257- DHCPINFORM processing is a little more careful about return addressing
2258 its responses, or if responding via a relay. The INFORM related
2259 messages also log the 'effective client ip address' rather than the
2260 client's supplied ciaddr (since some clients produce null ciaddrs).
2261
2262- The server was inappropriately sending leases to the RESET state in the
2263 event that multiple active leases were found to match a singly-identified
2264 client. This was changed to RELEASED (by accepting a different, ACTIVE
2265 binding, the client is implicitly releasing its lease). This repairs a
2266 bug wherein secondary servers in failover pairs detecting this condition
2267 move leases to RESET, and primaries refuse to accept that state
2268 transition (properly).
2269
2270- The memset-after-dmalloc() changes made in 3.0.4b1 have been backed out.
2271
2272 Changes since 3.0.4b1
2273
2274- Command line parsing in omshell was repaired - it no longer closes
2275 STDIN after reading one line.
2276
2277- The resolver library no longer closes the /etc/resolv.conf file
2278 descriptor it opened twice.
2279
2280- Changes to trailing NULL removal in 't' option-atoms has been rethought,
2281 it now includes 'd' (domain name) types, and tries hard not to rewind an
2282 option beyond the start of the text field it is un-terminating.
2283
2284 Changes since 3.0.3
2285
2286- A DDNS update handling function was misusing the DNS error codes, rather
2287 than the internal generic result enumeration. The result is a confusing
2288 syslog line, logging the wrong condition.
2289
2290- The DHCP Server was not checking pool balance in the case where it brought
2291 a non-ACTIVE lease out of storage for a client that was returning to use
2292 a lease it once had long ago, and had since expired.
2293
2294- Failover peers no longer bother to look for free leases to allocate when
2295 they already found the client's ACTIVE lease. DISCOVERs are load balanced
98bd7ca0 2296 whether freely-allocated or not, unless the server doubts the peer has
88cd8aca
DH
2297 leases to allocate.
2298
2299- Fixed a bug in dhcrelay agent addition code that suppressed trailing
45d545f0 2300 PAD options - it was suppressing only one trailing PAD option, rather
88cd8aca
DH
2301 than the entire block of them.
2302
3a16098f
DH
2303! Fixed some unlikely overlapping-region memcpy() bugs in dhcrelay agent
2304 option addition and stripping code. Added a few sanity checks. Although
2305 highly improbable, due to requiring the reception of a DHCP datagram well
2306 in excess of all known to be used physical MTU limitations, it is possible
2307 this may have been used in a stack overflow security vulnerability. Thanks
2308 to a patch from infamous42md.
2309
2310! Added some sanity checks to OMAPI connection/authentication code.
2311 Although highly improbable, due to having to deliver in excess of 2^32
2312 bytes of data via the OMAPI channel, not to mention requiring dhcpd to
2313 be able to malloc() a memory region 2^32 bytes in size, it was possible
2314 this might have resulted in a heap overflow security vulnerability.
2315 Thanks to a patch from infamous42md.
88cd8aca
DH
2316
2317- dmalloc() memset()'s the non-debug (data) portion of the allocated
2318 memory to zero. Code that memset()'s the result returned by dmalloc() to
2319 zero is redundant. These redundancies were removed.
2320
2321- Some type declaration corrections to u_int16_t were made in common/tr.c
4b97eaff 2322 (Token Ring support) thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
88cd8aca
DH
2323
2324- A failover bug that was allowing leases that EXPIRED or were RELEASED
2325 where tsfp and tstp are identical timestamps to languish in these
2326 transitional states has been repaired. As a side effect, lease
2327 databases should be kept more consistent overall, not just for these
2328 transitional states.
2329
2330- If the lease db is deleted out from under the daemon, and it moves to rewrite
2331 the db, it will go ahead with the operation and move the new db into place
2332 once it detects the old db does not exist.
2333
2334- dhclient now ignores IRDA, SIT, and IEEE1394 network interfaces, as it
2335 is either nonsensical or (in the case of IEEE1394) is not known to support
2336 these interfaces. Thanks to Marius Gedminas and Andrew Pollock of Debian.
2337
2338- Some previously undocumented reasons for dhclient-script invoking has
45d545f0 2339 been documented in the dhclient-script.8 manpage.
88cd8aca
DH
2340
2341- Failover potential expiry calculations (TSTP) have been corrected. Results
2342 should be substantially more consistent, and proper given the constraints.
2343
2344- Adjusted lease state validation checks in potential-conflict, to
2345 account for possible clock skew similarly to normal state, and several
2346 previously illegal transitions were made legal (ex: active->released).
2347
2348- An impossible sanity check was removed from omapi/buffer.c, thanks to a
2349 patch from 'infamous42md'.
2350
2351- An OMAPI host/network byte order problem in lease time values has been
2352 repaired.
2353
2354- Several minor bugs, largely relating to treating 8-byte time values as
2355 4-byte entities, have been repaired after careful review of the FreeBSD
2356 ports collection's patch set. Thanks to the nameless entities who have
2357 contributed to the FreeBSD ports.
2358
2359- When writing a trace file, the file is now created with permissions 0600,
2360 to help administrators avoid accidentally publicising sensitive config
2361 data.
2362
2363- The calculation of the maximum size of DHCP packets no longer includes
2364 Ethernet framing overhead. The result is that the 'Maximum Message
2365 Size' option advertised by clients, or the default value 576, is no
2366 longer reduced by 14 bytes, and instead directly reflects the IP level
2367 MTU (and the default, minimum allowed IP MTU of 576).
2368
2369- The special status of RELEASED/EXPIRED/RESET leases when a server
2370 is operating in partner-down was fixed. It no longer requires a
2371 lease be twice the MCLT beyond STOS to 'reallocate', and the expiry
2372 event to turn these into FREE leases without peer acknowledgement
2373 (after STOS+MCLT) has been repaired.
2374
2375- Compilation on older Solaris systems (lacking /usr/include/sys/int_types.h)
2376 has been repaired.
2377
2378- "append"ing a string onto the end of a "t" type option (such as the
2379 domain-name field) that had been improperly NULL-terminated by the
2380 DHCP server will no longer result in a truncated string containing
2381 only the option from the server, and not the expected appended value.
4b97eaff 2382 Thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
88cd8aca
DH
2383
2384- File handlers on configuration state (config files and lease dbs) should
98bd7ca0 2385 be treated consistently, regardless of whether TRACING is defined or not.
88cd8aca 2386
45d545f0 2387- The Linux build environment has had some minor improvements - better
88cd8aca
DH
2388 sensing of 64-bit pointer sizes (only used for establishing an icmp_id),
2389 and corrections to #if operators regarding LINUX_MAJOR should it ever
2390 move to 3.[01].x.
2391
2392- The server now tries harder to survive the condition where it is unable
2393 to open a new lease file to rewrite the lease state database.

2395 Changes since 3.0.3b3
2396
2397- dhclient.conf documentation for interface {} was updated to reflect recent
2398 discussion on the dhcp-hackers mailing list.
2399
2400- In response to reports that the software does not compile on GCC 4.0.0,
2401 -Werror was removed from Makefile.conf for all platforms that used it.
2402 We will address the true problem in a future release; this is a temporary
2403 workaround.
2404
2405 Changes since 3.0.3b2
2406
2407- An error in code changes introduced in 3.0.3b2 was corrected, which caused
2408 static BOOTP clients to receive random addresses.
2409
2410 Changes since 3.0.3b1
2411
2412- A bug was fixed in BOOTPREQUEST handling code wherein stale references to
2413 host records would be left behind on leases that were not allocated to the
2414 client currently booting (eg in the case where the host was denied booting).
2415
2416- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated to be more clear in regards to
2417 multiple host declarations (thanks to Vincent McIntyre). 'Interim' style
2418 dynamic updates were also retouched.

DH
2420 Changes since 3.0.2
2421
2422- A bug was fixed where a server might load balance a DHCP REQUEST to its
45d545f0 2423 peer after already choosing not to load balance the preceding DISCOVER.
98311e4b
DH
2424 The peer cannot allocate the originating server's lease.
2425
2426- In the case where a secondary server lost its stable storage while the
2427 primary was still in communications-interrupted, and came back online,
2428 the lease databases would not be fully transferred to the secondary.
2429 This was due to the secondary errantly sending an extra UPDREQ message
2430 when the primary made its state transition to PARTNER-DOWN known.
2431
2432- The package will now compile cleanly in gcc 3.3 and 3.4. As a side effect,
2433 lease structures will be 9 bytes smaller on all platforms. Thanks to
4b97eaff 2434 Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
2435
2436- Interface discovery code in DISCOVER_UNCONFIGURED mode is now
2437 properly restricted to only detecting broadcast interfaces. Thanks
4b97eaff 2438 to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
2439
2440- decode_udp_ip_header was changed so that the IP address was copied out
2441 to a variable, rather than referenced by a pointer. This enforces 4-byte
2442 alignment of the 32-bit IP address value. Thanks to a patch from Dr.
2443 Peter Poeml.
2444
2445- An incorrect log message was corrected thanks to a patch from
2446 Dr. Peter Poeml.
2447
2448- A bug in DDNS was repaired, where if the server's first DDNS action was
2449 a DDNS removal rather than a DDNS update, the resolver library's
2450 retransmit timer and retry timer was set to the default, implying a
2451 15 second timeout interval. Which is a little excessive in a synchronous,
2452 single-threaded system. In all cases, ISC DHCP should now hold fast to
2453 a 1-second timeout, trying only once.
2454
2455- The siaddr field was being improperly set to the server-identifier when
2456 responding to DHCP messages. RFC2131 clarified the siaddr field as
2457 meaning the 'next server in the bootstrap process', eg a tftp server.
2458 The siaddr field is now left zeroed unless next-server is configured.
2459
2460- mockup_lease() could have returned in an error condition (or in the
2461 condition where no fixed-address was found matching the shared
2462 network) with stale references to a host record. This is probably not
2463 a memory leak since host records generally never die anyway.
2464
2465- A bug was repaired where failover servers would let stale client identifiers
2466 persist on leases that were reallocated to new clients not sending an id.
2467
2468- Binding scopes ("set var = value;") are now removed from leases allocated
2469 by failover peers if the lease had expired. This should help reduce the
2470 number of stale binding scopes on leases.
2471
2472- A small memory leak was closed involving client identifiers larger than
2473 7 bytes, and failover.
2474
2475- Configuring a subnet in dhcpd.conf with a subnet mask of 32 bits might
2476 cause an internal function to overflow heap. Thanks to Jason Vas Dias

2478
2479- Some inconsistencies in treating numbers that the lexer parsed as 'NUMBER'
2480 or 'NUMBER_OR_NAME' was repaired. Hexadecimal parsing is affected, and
2481 should work better.
2482
2483- In several cases, parse warnings were being issued before the lexical
2484 token had been advanced to the token whose value was causing an error...
2485 causing parse warnings to claim the problem is on the wrong token.
2486
2487- Host declarations matching on client identifier for dynamic leases will
2488 no longer match fixed-address host declarations (this is now identical
2489 to behaviour for host records matching on hardware address).
2490
2491 Changes since 3.0.2rc3
2492
2493- A previously undocumented configuration directive, 'local-address',
2494 was documented in the dhcpd.conf manpage.
2495
2496 Changes since 3.0.2rc2
2497
45d545f0 2498- Two variables introduced in 3.0.2b1 were used without being initialized
98311e4b
DH
2499 in the case where neither the FILE nor SNAME fields were available for
2500 overloading. This was repaired.
2501
2502- A heretofore believed to be impossible corner case of the option
2503 overloading implementation turned out to be possible ("Unable to sort
2504 overloaded options after 10 tries."). The implementation was reworked
2505 to consider the case of an option so large it would require more than
2506 three chunks to fit.
2507
2508- Many other instances of variables being used without being initialized
2509 were repaired.
2510
2511- An uninitialized variable in omapi_io_destroy() led to the discovery
2512 that this function may result in orphaned pointers (and hence, a memory
2513 leak).
2514
2515 Changes since 3.0.2rc1
2516
2517- allocate_lease() was rewritten to repair a bug in which the server would
2518 try to allocate an ABANDONED lease when FREE leases were available.
2519
2520 Changes since 3.0.2b1
2521
2522- Some dhcp-eval.5 manpage formatting was repaired.
2523
2524 Changes since 3.0.1
2525
2526- A bug was fixed in the server's 'option overloading' implementation,
2527 where options loaded into the 'file' and 'sname' packet fields were
2528 not aligned precisely as rfc2131 dictates.
2529
2530- The FreeBSD client script was changed to support the case where a domain
2531 name was not provided by the server.
2532
2533- A memory leak in 'omshell' per each command line parsed was
2534 repaired, thanks to a patch from Jarkko Torppa.
2535
2536- Log functions writing to stderr were adjusted to use the STDERR_FILENO
2537 system definition rather than '2'. This is a no-op for 90% of platforms.
2538
2539- One call to trace_write_packet_iov() counted the number of io vectors
2540 incorrectly, causing inconsistent tracefiles. This was fixed.
2541
2542- Some expression parse failure memory leaks were closed.
2543
2544- A host byte order problem in tracefiles was repaired.
2545
2546- Pools configured in DHCPD for failover possessing permission lists that
2547 previously were assumed to not include dyanmic bootp clients are now
2548 a little more pessimistic. The result is, dhcpd will nag you about just
2549 about most pools that possess a 'allow' statement with no 'deny' that
2550 would definitely match a dynamic bootp client.
2551
2552- The 'ddns-update-style' configuration warning bit now insists that
2553 the configuration be globally scoped.
2554
2555- Two memory leaks in dhclient were closed thanks to a patch from Felix
2556 Farkas.
2557
2558- Some minor but excellently pedantic documentation errors were fixed
2559 thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
2560
2561- Bugs in operator precedence in executable statements have been repaired
2562 once again. More legal syntaxes should be parsed legally.
2563
2564- Failing to initialize a tracefile for any reason if a tracefile was
2565 specified is now a fatal error. Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
2566
2567- Corrected a bug in which the number of leases transferred as calculated
2568 by the failover primary and sent to peers in POOLRESP responses may be
2569 incorrect. This value is not believed to be used by other failover
2570 implementations, excepting perhaps as logged information.
2571
2572- Corrected a bug in which 'dhcp_failover_send_poolresp()' was in fact
2573 sending POOLREQ messages instead of POOLRESP mesasges. This message
2574 was essentially ignored since failover secondaries effectively do not
2575 respond to POOLREQ messages.
2576
2577- Type definitions for various bitwidths of integers in the sunos5-5
2578 build of ISC DHCP have been fixed. It should compile and run more
2579 easily when built in 64-bit for this platform.
2580
2581- "allow known-clients;" is now a legal syntax, to avoid confusion.
2582
2583- If one dhcp server chooses to 'load balance' a request to its failover
2584 peer, it first checks to see if it believes said peer has a free
2585 lease to allocate before ignoring the DISCOVER.
2586
2587- log() was logging a work buffer, rather than the value returned by
2588 executing the statements configured by the user. In some cases,
2589 the work buffer and the intended results were the same. In some other
2590 cases, they were not. This was fixed thanks to a patch from Gunnar
2591 Fjone and directconnect.no.
2592
2593- Compiler warnings for some string type conversions was fixed, thanks
2594 to Andreas Gustafsson.
2595
2596- The netbsd build environments were simplified to one, in which
2597 -Wconversion is not used, thanks to Andreas Gustafsson.
2598
2599- How randomness in the backoff-cutoff dhclient configuration variable
2600 is implemented was better documented in the manpage, and the behaviour
2601 of dhclient in REQUEST timeout handling was changed to match that of
2602 DISCOVER timeout handling.
2603
2604- Omapi was hardened against clients that pass in null values, thanks
2605 to a patch from Mark Jason Dominus.
2606
2607- A bug was fixed in dhclient that kept it from doing client-side
2608 ddns updates. Thanks to a patch from Andreas Gustafsson, which
2609 underwent some modification after review by Jason Vas Dias.
2610
2611- Failover implementations disconnected due to the network between
2612 them (rather than one of the two shutting down) will now try to
2613 re-establish the failover connection every 5 seconds, rather than
2614 to simply try once and give up until one of them is restarted.
2615 Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from Infoblox, and field testing
2616 by Greger V. Teigre which led to an enhancement to it.
2617
2618- A problem that kept DHCP Failover secondaries from tearing down
2619 ddns records was repaired. Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from
2620 Infoblox.
2621
2622- 64bit pointer sizes are detected properly on FreeBSD now.
2623
2624- A bug was repaired where the DHCP server would leave stale references
2625 to host records on leases it once thought about offering to certain
2626 clients. The result would be to apply host and 'known' scopes to the
2627 wrong clients (possibly denying booting). NOTE: The 'mis-host' patch
2628 that was being circulated as a workaround is not the way this bug was
2629 fixed. If you were a victim of this bug in 3.0.1, you are cautioned
2630 to proceed carefully and see if it fixes your problem.
2631
2632- A bug was repaired in the server's DHCPINFORM handling, where it
2633 tried to divine the client's address from the source packet and
2634 would get it wrong. Thanks to Anshuman Singh Rawat.
2635
2636- A log message was introduced to help illuminate the case where the
2637 server was unable to find a lease to assign to any BOOTP client.
2638 Thanks to Daniel Baker.
2639
2640- A minor dhcpd.conf.5 manpage error was fixed.
2641
2642 Changes since 3.0.1rc14
2643
2644- The global variable 'cur_time' was centralized and is now uniformly of a
2645 type #defined in system-dependent headers. It had previously been defined
2646 in one of many places as a 32-bit value, and this causes mayhem on 64-bit
2647 big endian systems. It probably wasn't too healthy on little endian
2648 systems either.
2649
2650- A printf format string error introduced in rc14 was repaired.
2651
2652- AIX system-dependent header file was altered to only define NO_SNPRINTF
2653 if the condition used to #ifdef in vsnprintf in AIX' header files
2654 is false.
2655
2656- The Alpha/OSF system-dependent header file was altered to define
2657 NO_SNPRINTF on OS revisions older than 4.0G.
2658
2659- omapip/test.c had string.h added to its includes.
2660
2661 Changes since 3.0.1rc13
2662
2663! CAN-2004-0460 - CERT VU#317350: Five stack overflow exploits were closed
2664 in logging messages with excessively long hostnames provided by the
2665 clients. It is highly probable that these could have been used by
2666 attackers to gain arbitrary root access on systems using ISC DHCP 3.0.1
2667 release candidates 12 or 13. Special thanks to Gregory Duchemin for
2668 both finding and solving the problem.
2669
2670! CAN-2004-0461 - CERT VU#654390: Once the above was closed, an opening
45d545f0 2671 in log_*() functions was evidenced, on some specific platforms where
98311e4b
DH
2672 vsnprintf() was not believed to be available and calls were wrapped to
2673 sprintf() instead. Again, credit goes to Gregory Duchemin for finding
2674 the problem. Calls to snprintf() are now linked to a distribution-local
2675 snprintf implementation, only in those cases where the architecture is
2676 not known to provide one (see includes/cf/[arch].h). If you experience
2677 linking problems with snprintf/vsnprintf or 'isc_print_' functions, this
2678 is where to look. This vulnerability did not exist in any previously
2679 published version of ISC DHCP.
2680
2681- Compilation on hpux 11.11 was repaired.
2682
2683- 'The cross-compile bug fix' was backed out.
2684
2685 Changes since 3.0.1rc12
2686
2687- Fixed a bug in omapi lease lookup function, to form the hardware
2688 address for the hash lookup correctly, thanks to a patch from
2689 Richard Hirst.
2690
2691- Fixed a bug where dhcrelay was sending relayed responses back to the
2692 broadcast address, but with the source's unicast mac address. Should
2693 now conform to rfc2131 section 4.1.
2694
2695- Cross-compile bug fix; use $(AR) instead of ar. Thanks to Morten Brorup.
2696
2697- Fixed a crash bug in dhclient where dhcpd servers that do not provide
2698 renewal times results in an FPE. As a side effect, dhclient can now
2699 properly handle 0xFFFFFFFF (-1) expiry times supplied by servers. Thanks
2700 to a patch from Burt Silverman.
2701
2702- The 'ping timeout' debugs from rc12 were removed to -DDEBUG only,
45d545f0 2703 and reformatted to correct a compilation error on Solaris platforms.
98311e4b
DH
2704
2705- A patch was applied which fixes a case where leases read from the
2706 leases database do not properly over-ride previously read leases.
2707
2708- dhcpctl.3 manpage was tweaked.
2709
2710 Changes since 3.0.1rc11
2711
2712- A patch from Steve Campbell was applied with minor modifications to
2713 permit reverse dns PTR record updates with values containing spaces.
2714
2715- A patch from Florian Lohoff was applied with some modifications to
2716 dhcrelay. It now discards packets whose hop count exceeds 10 by default,
2717 and a command-line option (-c) can be used to set this threshold.
2718
2719- A failover bug relating to identifying peers by name length instead of
2720 by name was fixed.
2721
45d545f0 2722- Declaring failover configs within shared-network statements should no
98311e4b
DH
2723 longer result in error.
2724
2725- The -nw command line option to dhclient now works.
2726
2727- Thanks to a patch from Michael Richardson:
2728 - Some problems with long option processing have been fixed.
2729 - Some fixes to minires so that updates of KEY records will work.
2730
2731- contrib/ms2isc was updated by Shu-Min Chang of the Intel Corporation.
2732 see contrib/ms2isc/readme.txt for revision notes.
2733
2734- Dhclient no longer uses shell commands to kill another instance of
2735 itself, it sends the signal directly. Thanks to a patch from Martin
2736 Blapp.
2737
2738- The FreeBSD dhclient-script was changed so that a failure to write to
2739 /etc/resolv.conf does not prematurely end the script. This keeps dhclient
2740 from looping infinitely when this is the case. Thanks to a patch from
2741 Martin Blapp.
2742
2743- A patch from Bill Stephens was applied which resolves a problem with lease
2744 expiry times in failover configurations.
2745
2746- A memory leak in configuration parsing was closed thanks to a patch from
2747 Steve G.
2748
2749- The function which discovers interfaces will now skip non-broadcast or
2750 point-to-point interfaces, thanks to a patch from David Brownlee.
2751
2752- Options not yet known by the dhcpd or dhclient have had their names
2753 changed such that they do not contain # symbols, in case they should ever
2754 appear in a lease file. An option that might have been named "#144" is
2755 now "unknown-144".
2756
2757- Another patch from Bill Stephens which allows the ping-check timeout to
2758 be configured as 'ping-timeout'. Defaults to 1.
2759
2760 Changes since 3.0.1rc10
2761
2762- Potential buffer overflows in minires repaired.
2763
2764- A change to the linux client script to use /bin/bash, since /bin/sh may
2765 not be bash.
2766
2767- Some missing va_end cleanups thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
2768
2769- A correction of boolean parsing syntax validation - some illegal syntaxes
2770 that worked before are now detected and produce errs, some legal syntaxes
2771 that errored before will now work properly.
2772
2773- Some search-and-replace errors that caused some options to change their
2774 names was repaired.
2775
2776- Shu-min Chang of the Intel corporation has contributed a perl script and
2777 module that converts the MS NT4 DHCP configuration to a ISC DHCP3
2778 configuration file.
2779
2780- Applied the remainder of the dhcpctl memory leak patch provided by Bill
2781 Squier at ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
2782
2783- Missing non-optional failover peer configurations will now result in a soft
2784 error rather than a null dereference.
2785
2786 Changes since 3.0.1rc9
2787
2788- A format string was corrected to fix compiler warnings.
2789
2790- A number of spelling corrections were made in the man pages.
2791
2792- The dhclient.conf.5 man page was changed to refer to do-forward-updates
2793 rather than a configuration option that doesn't exist.
2794
2795- A FreeBSD-specific bug in the interface removal handling was fixed.
2796
2797- A Linux-specific Token Ring detection problem was fixed.
2798
2799- Hashes removed from as-yet-unknown agent options, having those options
2800 appear in reality before we know about them will no longer produce
2801 self-corrupting lease databases.
2802
2803- dhclient will use the proper port numbers now when using the -g option.
2804
2805- A order-of-operations bug with 2 match clauses in 1 class statement is
2806 fixed thanks to a patch from Andrew Matheson.
2807
2808- Compilation problems on Solaris were fixed.
2809
2810- Compilation problems when built with DEBUG or DEBUG_PACKET were repaired.
2811
2812- A fix to the dhcp ack process which makes certain group options will be
2813 included in the first DHCPOFFER message was made thanks to a patch from
2814 Ling Gou.
2815
2816- A few memory leaks were repaired thanks to patches from Bill Squier at
2817 ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
2818
2819- A fix for shared-networks that sometimes give clients options for the
2820 wrong subnets (in particular, 'option routers') was applied, thanks to
2821 Ted Lemon for the patch.
2822
2823- Omshell's handling of dotted octets as values was changed such that dots
2824 one after the other produce zero values in the integer string.
2825
2826 Changes since 3.0.1rc8
2827
2828- Fix a format string vulnerability in the server that could lead to a
2829 remote root compromise (discovered by NGSEC Research Team, www.ngsec.com).
2830
2831- Add additional support for NetBSD/sparc64.
2832
2833- Fix a bug in the command-line parsing of the client. Also, resolve
2834 a memory leak.
2835
2836- Add better support for shells other than bash in the Linux client
2837 script.
2838
2839- Various build fixes for modern versions of FreeBSD and Linux.
2840
2841- Fix a bad bounds check when printing binding state names.
2842
2843- Clarify documentation about fixed-address and multiple addresses.
2844
2845- Fix a typo in the authoritative error message.
2846
2847- Make a log entry when we can't write a billing class.
2848
2849- Use conversion targets that are the right size on all architectures.
2850
2851- Increment the hop count when relaying.
2852
2853- Log a message when lease state is changed through OMAPI.
2854
2855- Don't rerun the shared_network when evaluating the pool.
2856
2857- Fix a reversed test in the parser.
2858
2859- Change the type of rbuf_max.
2860
2861- Make FTS_LAST a manifest constant to quiet warnings.
2862
2863 Changes since 3.0.1rc7
2864
2865- Fix two compiler warnings that are generated when compiling on Solaris
2866 with gcc. These stop the build, even though they weren't actually
2867 errors, because we prefer that our builds generate no warnings.
2868
2869 Changes since 3.0.1rc6
2870
2871- Don't allow a lease that's in the EXPIRED, RELEASED or RESET state
2872 to be renewed.
2873
2874- Implement lease stealing for cases where the primary has fewer leases
2875 than the secondary, as called for by the standard.
2876
2877- Add a fudge factor to the lease expiry acceptance code, (suggested
2878 by Kevin Miller of CMU).
2879
2880- Fix a bug in permit_list_match that made it much too willing to say
2881 that two permit lists matched.
2882
2883- Unless DEBUG_DNS_UPDATES is defined, print more user-friendly (and
2884 also more compact) messages about DNS updates.
2885
2886- Fix a bug in generating wire-format domain names for the FQDN option.
2887
2888- Fix a bug where the FQDN option would not be returned if the client
2889 requested it, contrary to the standard.
2890
2891- On Darwin, use the FreeBSD DHCP client script.
2892
2893- On NetBSD/sparc, don't check for casting warnings.
2894
2895- Add a flag in the DHCP client to disable updating the client's A
2896 record when sending an FQDN option indicating that the client is
2897 going to update its A record.
2898
2899- In the client, don't attempt a DNS update until one second after
2900 configuring the new IP address, and if the update times out, keep
2901 trying until a response, positive or negative, is received from the
2902 DNS server.
2903
2904- Fix an uninitialized memory bug in the DHCP client.
2905
2906- Apply some FreeBSD-specific bug fixes suggested by Murray Stokely.
2907
2908- Fix a bug in ns_parserr(), where it was returning the wrong sort
2909 of result code in some cases (suggested by Ben Harris of the
2910 NetBSD project).
2911
2912- Fix a bug in is_identifier(), where it was checking against EOF
2913 instead of the END_OF_FILE token (also suggested by Ben Harris).
2914
2915- Fix a bug where if an option universe contained no options, the
2916 DHCP server could dump core (Walter Steiner).
2917
2918- Fix a bug in the handling of encapsulated options.
2919
2920- Fix a bug that prevented NWIP suboptions from being processed.
2921
2922- Delete the FTS_BOOTP and FTS_RESERVED states and implement them
2923 as modifier flags to the FTS_ACTIVE state, as called for in the
2924 failover protocol standard.
2925
2926- Fix bugs in the pool merging code that resulted in references and
2927 dereferences of null pointers. This bug had no impact unless the
2928 POINTER_DEBUG flag was defined.
2929
2930- In the server, added a do-forward-updates flag that can be used to
2931 disable forward updates in all cases, so that sites that want the
2932 clients to take sole responsibility for updating their A record can
2933 do so.
2934
2935- Make it possible to disable optimization of PTR record updates.
2936
2937 Changes since 3.0.1rc5
2938
2939- Include some new documentation and changes provided by Karl Auer.
2940
2941- Add a workaround for some Lexmark printers that send a double-NUL-
2942 terminated host-name option, which would break DNS updates.
2943
2944- Fix an off-by-one error in the MAC-address checking code for
2945 DHCPRELEASE that was added in 3.0.1rc5.
2946
2947- Fix a bug where client-specific information was not being discarded
2948 from the lease when it expired or was released, resulting in
2949 problems if the lease was reallocated to a different client.
2950
2951- If more than one allocation pool is specified that has the same set
2952 of constraints as another allocation pool on the same shared
2953 network, merge the two pools.
2954
2955- Don't print an error in fallback_discard, since this just causes
2956 confusion and does not appear to be helping to encourage anyone to
2957 fix this bug.
2958
2959 Changes since 3.0.1rc4
2960
2961- Fix a bug that would cause the DHCP server to spin if asked to parse
2962 a certain kind of incorrect statement.
2963
2964- Fix a related bug that would prevent an error from being reported in
2965 the same case.
2966
2967- Additional documentation.
2968
2969- Make sure that the hardware address matches the lease when
2970 processing a DHCPRELEASE message.
2971
2972 Changes since 3.0.1rc3
2973
2974- A minor bug fix in the arguments to a logging function call.
2975- Documentation update for dhcpd.conf.

2978
2979- Allow the primary to send a POOLREQ message. This isn't what the current
2980 failover draft says to do, so we may have to back it out if I can't get the
2981 authors to relent, but the scheme for balancing that's specified in the
2982 current draft seems needlessly hairy, so I'm floating a trial balloon.
2983 The rc1 code did not implement the method described in the draft either.

2986
2987- Treat NXDOMAIN and NXRRSET as success when we are trying to delete a
2988 domain or RRSET. This allows the DHCP server to forget about a name
2989 it added to the DNS once it's been removed, even if the DHCP server
2990 wasn't the one that removed it.
2991
2992- Install defaults for failover maximum outstanding updates and maximum
2993 silent time. This prevents problems that might occur if these values
2994 were not configured.
2995
2996- Don't do DDNS deletes if ddns-update-style is none.
2997
2998- Return relay agent information options in DHCPNAK. This prevents DHCPNAK
2999 messages from being dropped when the relay agent information option contains
3000 routing information.
3001
3002- Fix a problem where coming up in recover wouldn't result in an update
3003 request being sent.
3004
3005- Add some more chatty messages when we start a recovery update and when it's
3006 done.
3007
3008- Fix a possible problem where some state might have been left around
3009 after the peer lost contact and regained contact about how many updates
3010 were pending.
3011
3012- Don't nix a lease update because of a lease conflict. This test has
3013 never (as far as I know) prevented a mistake, and it appears to cause
3014 problems with failover.
3015
3016- Add support in rc history code for keeping a selective history, rather
3017 than a history of all references and dereferences. This code is only used
3018 when extensive additional debugging is enabled.
3019
adbef119 3020 Changes since 3.0
98311e4b
DH
3021
3022- Make allocators for hash tables. As a side effect, this fixes a memory
3023 smash in the subclass allocation code.
3024
3025- Fix a small bug in omshell where if you try to close an object when
3026 no object is open, it dumps core.
3027
3028- Fix an obscure coredump that could occur on shutdown.
3029
3030- Fix a bug in the recording of host declaration rubouts in the lease file.
3031
3032- Fix two potential spins in the host deletion code.
3033
3034- Fix a core dump that would happen if an application tried to update
3035 a host object attribute with a null value.
3036
3037 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 12
3038
3039- Fix a memory leak in the evaluation code.
3040
3041- Fix an obscure core dump.
3042
3043- Print a couple of new warnings when parsing the configuration file
3044 when crucial information is left out.
3045
3046- Log "no free leases" as an error.
3047
3048- Documentation updates.
3049
3050 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 11
3051
3052- Always return a subnet selection option if one is sent.
3053
3054- Fix a warning that was being printed because an automatic data
3055 structure wasn't zeroed.
3056
3057- Fix some failover state transitions that were being handled
3058 incorrectly.
3059
3060- When supersede_lease is called on a lease whose end time has already
3061 expired, but for which a state transition has not yet been done, do
3062 a state transition. This fixes the case where if the secondary
3063 allocated a lease to a client and the lease "expired" while the
3064 secondary was in partner-down, no expiry event would actually
3065 happen, so the lease would remain active until the primary was
3066 restarted.
3067
3068 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 10
3069
3070- Fix a bug that was preventing released leases from changing state
3071 in failover-enabled pools.
3072
3073- Fix a core dump in the client identifier finder code (for host
3074 declarations).
3075
3076- Finish fixing a bug where bogus data would sometimes get logged to
3077 the dhclient.leases file because it was opened as descriptor 2.
3078
3079- Fix the Linux dhclient-script according to suggestions made by
3080 several people on the dhcp-client mailing list.
3081
3082- Log successful DNS updates at LOG_INFO, not LOG_ERROR.
3083
3084- Print an error message and refuse to run if a failover peer is
3085 defined but not referenced by any pools.
3086
3087- Correct a confusing error message in failover.

TL
3101 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8 Patchlevel 1
3102
3103- Fix a parsing bug that broke dns updates (both interim and ad-hoc).
3104 This was introduced in rc8pl1 as an unintended result of the memory
3105 leakage fixes that were in pl1.
3106
3107- Fix a long-standing bug where the server would record that an update
3108 had been done for a client with no name, even though no update had
3109 been done, and then when the client's lease expired the deletion of
3110 that nonexistant record would time out because the name was the null
3111 string.
3112
3113- Clean up the omshell, dhcpctl and omapi man pages a bit.

3117- Fix a bug that could cause the DHCP server to spin if
3118 one-lease-per-client was enabled.
3119
3120- Fix a bug that was causing core dumps on BSD/os in the presence of
3121 malformed packets.
3122
3123- In partner-down state, don't restrict lease lengths to MCLT.
3124
3125- On the failover secondary, record the MCLT received from the primary
3126 so that if we come up without a connection to the primary we don't
3127 wind up giving out zero-length leases.
3128
3129- Fix some compilation problems on BSD/os.
3130
3131- Fix a bunch of memory leaks.
3132
3133- Fix a couple of bugs in the option printer.
3134
3135- Fix an obscure error reporting bug in the dns update code, and also
3136 make the message clearer when a key algorithm isn't supported.
3137
3138- Fix a bug in the tracing code that prevented trace runs that used
3139 tcp connections from being played back.
3140
3141- Add some additional debugging capability for catching memory leaks
3142 on exit.
3143
3144- Make the client release the lease correctly on shutdown.
3145
3146- Add some configurability to the build system.
3147
3148- Install omshell manual page in man1, not man8.
3149
3150- Craig Gwydir sent in a patch that fixes a long-standing bug in the
3151 DHCP client that could cause core dumps, but that for some reason
3152 hadn't been noticed until now.
3153
3154 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 7
3155
3156- Fix a bug in failover where we weren't sending updates after a
3157 transition from communications-interrupted to normal.
3158
3159- Handle expired/released/reset -> free transition according to the
3160 protocol specification (this works - the other way not only wasn't
3161 conformant, but also didn't work).
3162
3163- Add a control object in both client and server that allows either
3164 daemon to be shut down cleanly.
3165
3166- When writing a lease, if we run out of disk space, shut down the
3167 output file and insist on writing a new one before proceeding.
3168
3169- In the server, if the OMAPI listener port is occupied, keep trying
3170 to get it, rather than simply giving up and exiting.
3171
3172- Support fetching variables from leases and also updating and adding
3173 variables to leases via OMAPI.
3174
3175- If two failover peers have wildly different clocks, refuse to start
3176 doing failover.
3177
3178- Fix a bug in the DNS update code that could cause core dumps when
3179 running on alpha processors.
3180
3181- Fixed a bug in ddns updates for static lease entries, thanks to a
3182 patch from Andrey M Linkevitch.
3183
3184- Add support for Darwin/MacOS X
3185
3186- Install omshell (including new documentation).
3187
3188- Support DNS updates in the client (this is a very obscure feature
3189 that most DHCP client users probably will not be able to use).
3190
3191- Somewhat cleaner status logging in the client.
3192
3193- Make OMAPI key naming syntax compatible with the way keys are
3194 actually named (key names are domain names).
3195
3196- Fix a bug in the lease file writer.
3197
3198- Install DHCP ISC headers in a different place than BIND 9 ISC
3199 headers, to avoid causing trouble in BIND 9 builds.
3200
3201- Don't send updates for attributes on an object when the attributes
3202 haven't changed. Support deleting attributes on remote objects.
3203
3204- Fix a number of bugs in omshell, and add the unset and refresh
3205 statements.
3206
3207- Handle disconnects in OMAPI a little bit more intelligently (so that
3208 the caller gets ECONNRESET instead of EINVAL).
3209
3210- Fix a bunch of bugs in the handling of clients that have existing
3211 leases when the try to renew their leases while failover is
3212 operating.
3213

TL
3214 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 6

3217 a client that had a host declaration that contained both a
3218 fixed-address declaration and a dhcp-client-identifier option
3219 declaration, if the client identifier was longer than nine bytes.
3220
3221- Fix a memory leak that could happen in certain obscure cases when
3222 using omapi to manipulate leases.
3223
3224- Fix some bugs and omissions in omshell.
3225
eaf0b302
TL
3226 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 5
3227
3228- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that prevented objects in
3229 chains from having their reference counts decreased on dereference.
3230
3231- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that would prevent object
3232 chains from being freed upon removal of the last reference external
3233 to the chain.
3234
3235- Fix a number of other memory leaks in the OMAPI protocol subsystem.
3236
3237- Add code in the OMAPI protocol handler to trace memory leakage.
3238

3240
98311e4b 3241- Support input of dotted quads and colon-separated hex lists as

3249
3250- Fix a bug that would prevent leases from being abandoned properly on
3251 DHCPDECLINE.
3252
3253- Fix failover peer OMAPI support.
3254
3255- In failover, correctly handle expiration of leases. Previously,
3256 leases would never be reclaimed because they couldn't make the
3257 transition from EXPIRED to FREE.
3258
3259- Fix some broken failover state transitions.
3260
3261- Documentation fixes.
3262
3263- Take out an unnecessary check in DHCP relay agent information option
3264 stashing code that was preventing REBINDING clients from rebinding.
3265
3266- Prevent failover peers from allocating leases in DHCPREQUEST
3267 processing if the lease belongs to the other server.
3268
3269- Record server version in lease file introductory comment.
3270
3271- Correctly report connection errors in OMAPI and failover.
3272
3273- Make authentication signature algorithm name comparisons in OMAPI
3274 case-insensitive.
3275
3276- Fix compile problem on SunOS 4.x
3277
98311e4b 3278- If a signature algorithm is not terminated with '.', terminate it so
eaf0b302
TL
3279 that comparisons between fully-qualified names will work
3280 consistently.
3281
3282- Different SIOCGIFCONF probe code, may "fix" problem on some Linux
3283 systems with the probe not working correctly.
3284

3287 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 3
3288
3289- Do lease billing on startup in a way that I *think* will finally do
3290 the billing correctly - the previous method could overbill as a
3291 result of duplicate leases.

3298 Herranz for figuring out the main problem.
3299

3301 core dumps.
3302
3303- Fix a byte-swap bug in the token ring code, thanks to Jochen
3304 Friedrich.

3306- Fix a bug in lease billing, thanks to Jonas Bulow.
3307
3308 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 2
3309
3310- Change the conditions under which a DHCPRELEASE is actually
3311 committed to be consistent with lease binding states rather than
98311e4b 3312 using the lease end time. This may fix some problems with the
892fe689
TL
3313 billing class code.
3314
3315- Fix a bug where lease updates would fail on Digital Unix (and maybe
3316 others) because malloc was called with a size of zero.
3317
3318- Fix a core dump that happens when the DHCP server can't create its
3319 trace file.

79ea3de8 3321 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 1 Patchlevel 1
87784777 3322
79ea3de8
TL
3323- Fix the dhcp_failover_put_message to not attempt to allocate a
3324 zero-length buffer. Some versions of malloc() fail if you try to
3325 allocate a zero-length buffer, and this was causing problems on,
3326 e.g., Digital Unix.
3327
3328- Fix a case where the failover code was printing an error message
3329 when no error had occurred.
3330
3331- Fix a problem where when a server went down and back up again, the
3332 peer would not see a state transition and so would stay in the
3333 non-communicating state.
3334
3335- Be smart about going into recover_wait.
3336
3337- Fix a problem in the failover implementation where peers would fail
3338 to come into sync if interrupted in the RECOVER state. This could
3339 have been the cause of some problems people have reported recently.
3340
3341- Fix a problem with billing classes where they would not be unbilled
3342 when the client lease expired.
3343
3344- If select fails, figure out which descriptor is bad, and cut it out
3345 of the I/O loop. This prevents a potentially nasty spin. I
3346 haven't heard any report it in a while, but it came up consistently
3347 in testing.
3348
3349- Fix a bug in the relay agent where if you specified interfaces on
3350 the command line, it would fail.
3351
3352- Fix a couple of small bugs in the omapi connection object (no known
3353 user impact).
3354
3355- Add the missing 3.0 Beta 1 lease conversion script.
3356
3357- Read dhcp client script hooks if they exist, rather than only if
3358 they're executable.

3371 Compaq Alpha systems. This patchlevel is not a release candidate
3372 because of this bug. The bug should be straightforward to fix, so
3373 a new release candidate is expected shortly.

3398
3399- Fix a bug in the DNS update code where a status code was not being
3400 checked. This may have been causing core dumps.
3401
3402- When parsing the lease file, if a lease declaration includes a
3403 billing class statement, and the lease already has a billing class,
3404 unbill the old class.
3405
3406- When processing failover transactions, where acks will be deferred,
3407 process the state transition immediately.
3408
3409- Don't try to use the new SIOCGIFCONF buffer size detection code on
3410 Linux 2.0, which doesn't provide this functionality.
3411
3412- Apply a patch suggested by Tuan Uong for a problem in dlpi.c.
3413
3414- Fix a problem in using the which command in the configure script.
3415
3416- Fix a parse error in the client when setting up an omapi listener.
3417
3418- Document the -n and -g flags to the client.
3419
3420- Make sure there is always a stdin and stdout on startup. This
3421 prevents shell scripts from accidentally writing error messages into
3422 configuration files that happen to be opened as stderr.
3423
3424- If an interface is removed, the client will now notice that it is
3425 gone rather than spinning. This has only been tested on NetBSD.
3426
3427- The client will attempt to get an address even if it can't create a
3428 lease file.
3429
3430- Don't overwrite tracefiles.
3431
3432- Fix some memory allocation bugs in failover.

3450 pl19.
3451

3473 (Damien Neil)
3474
3475- Implement omshell, which can be used to do arbitrary things to the
3476 server (in theory). (Damien Neil)
3477
3478- Fix a case where if a client had two different leases the server could
3479 actually dereference the second one when it hadn't been referenced,
3480 leading to memory corruption and a core dump. (James Brister)
3481
3482- Fix a case where a client could request the address of another client's
3483 lease, but find_lease wouldn't detect that the other client had it, and
3484 would attempt to allocate it to the client, resulting in a lease conflict
3485 message.
3486
3487- Fix a case where a client with more than one client identifier could be
3488 given a lease where the hardware address was correct but the client
3489 identifier was not, resulting in a lease conflict message.
3490
98311e4b 3491- Fix a problem where the server could write out a colon-separated
3350f5b7
TL
3492 hex list as a value for a variable, which would then not parse.
3493 The fix is to always write strings as quoted strings, with any
3494 non-printable characters quoted as octal escape sequences. So
3495 a file written the old way still won't work, but new files written
3496 this way will work.

TL
3498- Fix documentation for sending non-standard options.
3499
3500- Use unparsable names for unknown options. WARNING: this will
3501 break any configuration files that use the option-nnn convention.
3502 If you want to continue to use this convention for some options,
3503 please be sure to write a definition, like this:
3504
3505 option option-nnn code nnn = string;
3506
3507 You can use a descriptive name instead of option-nnn if you like.
3508
3509- Fix a problem where we would see a DHCPDISCOVER/DHCPOFFER/

3526- Add support for transaction tracing. This allows the state of the
3527 DHCP server on startup, and all the subsequent transactions, to be
3528 recorded in a file which can then be played back to reproduce the
3529 behaviour of the DHCP server. This can be used to quickly
3530 reproduce bugs that cause core dumps or corruption, and also for
3531 tracking down memory leaks.
3532
3533- Incorporate some bug fixes provided by Joost Mulders for the DLPI
3534 package which should clear up problems people have been seeing on
3535 Solaris.
3536
3537- Fix bugs in the handling of options stored as linked lists (agent
3538 options, fqdn options and nwip options) that could cause memory
3539 corruption and core dumps.
3540
3541- Fix a bug in DHCPREQUEST handling that resulted in DHCPNAK messages
3542 not being send in some cases when they were needed.
3543
3544- Make the lease structure somewhat more compact.
3545
3546- Make initial failover startup *much* faster. This was researched
3547 and implemented by Damien Neil.
3548
3549- Add a --version flag to all executables, which prints the program
3550 name and version to standard output.

3567 would cause two DHCPDISCOVERS to be sent back-to-back on startup.

3586
3587- Finish fixing a long-standing bug in the agent options code. This
3588 was causing core dumps and failing to operate correctly - in
3589 particular, agent option stashing wasn't working. Agent option
3590 stashing should now be working, meaning that agent options can be
3591 used in class statements to control address allocation.
3592
3593- Fix up documentation.

3596 significantly in a high-demand situation.

3599
3600- Fix a compile error on some older operating systems.

3603 transmitting packets to the server. Handy for debugging; not much
3604 practical use otherwise.

3612 an option with an (unsigned) negative length, resulting in a core
3613 dump on some systems.
3614
3615- Work around the Win98 DHCP client, which NUL-terminates the FQDN
3616 option.
3617
3618- Work around Win98 and Win2k clients that will claim they want to do
3619 the update even when they don't have any way to do it.
3620
3621- Fix some log messages that can be printed when failover is operating
3622 that were not printing enough information.
3623
3624- It was possible for a DHCPDISCOVER to get an allocation even when
3625 the state machine said the server shouldn't be responding.
3626
3627- Don't load balance DHCPREQUESTs from clients in RENEWING and
3628 REBINDING, since in RENEWING, if we heard it, it's for us, and in
3629 REBINDING, the client wouldn't have got to REBINDING if its primary
3630 were answering.

3642- Albert Herranz tracked down and fixed a subtle bug in the base64
3643 decoder that would prevent any key with an 'x' in its base64
3644 representation from working correctly.
3645
3646- Thanks to Chris Cheney and Michael Sanders, we have a fix for the
3647 hang that they both spotted in the DHCP server - when
3648 one-lease-per-client was set, the code to release the "other" lease
3649 could spin.
3650
3651- Fix a problem with alignment of the input buffer in bpf in cases
3652 where two packets arrive in the same bpf read.
3653
3654- Fix a problem where the relay agent would crash if you specified an
3655 interface name on the command line.
3656
3657- Add the ability to conditionalize client behaviour based on the
3658 client state.
3659
3660- Add support for the FQDN option, and added support for a new way of
3661 doing ddns updates (ddns update style interim) that allows more than
3662 one DHCP server to update the DNS for the same network(s). This
3663 was implemented by Damien Neil with some additional functionality
3664 added by Ted Lemon.
3665
3666- Damien added a "log" statement, so that the configuration file can
3667 be made to log debugging information and other information.
3668
3669- Fixed a bug that caused option buffers not to be terminated with an
3670 end option.
3671
3672- Fixed a long-standing bug in the support for option spaces where the
3673 options are stored as an ordered list rather than in a hash table,
3674 which could theoretically result in memory pool corruption.
3675
3676- Prevent hardware declarations with no actual hardware address from
3677 being written as something unparsable, and behave correctly in the
3678 face of a null hardware address on input.
3679
3680- Allow key names to be FQDNs, and qualify the algorithm name if it is
3681 specified unqualified.
3682
3683- Modify the DDNS update code so that it never prints the "resolver
3684 failed" message, but instead says *why* the resolver failed.

3687 RFC.

3712 configuration language.

3722 the DHCP option space.

3725
3726- Never select for more than a day, because some implementations of
3727 select will just fail if the timeout is too long (!).
3728
3729- Fix a case where a DHCPDISCOVER from an unknown network would be
3730 silently dropped.
3731
3732- Fix a bug where if a client requested an IP address for which a different
3733 client had the lease, the DHCP server would reallocate it anyway.

3749- Fix a possible DoS attack where a client could cause the checksummer
3750 to dump core. This was a read, not a write, so it shouldn't be
3751 possible to exploit it any further than that.
3752
3753- Implement client- and server-side support for using the Client FQDN
3754 option.
3755
3756- Support for other option spaces in the client has been added. This
3757 means that it is now possible to define a vendor option space on the
3758 client, request options in that space from the server (which must
3759 define the same option space), and then use those options in the
3760 client. This also allows NWIP and Client FQDN options to be used
3761 meaningfully.
3762
3763- Add object initializer support. This means that objects can now be
3764 initialized to something other than all-zeros when allocated, which
3765 makes, e.g., the interface object support code a little more robust.
3766
3767- Fix an off-by-one bug in the host stuffer. This was causing host
3768 deletes not the work, and may also have been causing OMAPI
3769 connections to get dropped. Thanks to James Brister for tracking
3770 this one down!

3807 spawn with.

3813 for OMAPI.
