DH
9ISC DHCP 4.2.x includes features that were not included in DHCP 4.1.x.
10These include:
37ec5845 11
98bf1607
SR
12Processing the DHCP to DNS server transactions in an asyncrhonous fashion.
13The DHCP server or client can now continue with it's processing while
14awaiting replies from the DNS server.
15
01a54c17
EH
16There are a number of DHCPv6 limitations and features missing in this
17release, which will be addressed in the future:
98bd7ca0 18
01a54c17 19- Only Solaris, Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD are supported.
3a16098f 20
adbef119
DH
21- DHCPv6 includes human-readable text in status code messages, in
22 English. A method to reconfigure or support other languages would
23 be preferrable.
98bd7ca0
DH
24
25- The "host-identifier" option is limited to a simple token.
26
98bd7ca0 27- The client and server can only operate DHCPv4 or DHCPv6 at a time,
45d545f0 28 not both. To use both protocols simultaneously, two instances of the
6de1f33e 29 relevant daemon are required, one with the '-6' command line option.

42 Changes since 4.2.0
43
44- Documentation cleanup covering multiple tickets
45 [ISC-Bugs #20265] [ISC-Bugs #20259] minor cleanup
46 [ISC-Bugs #20263] add text describing some default values
47 [ISC-Bugs #20193] single quotes at the start of a line indicate a control
48 line to nroff, escape them if we actually want a quote.
49 [ISC-Bugs #18916] sync the pointer to web pages amongst the different docs
50
524705e5
DH
51- 'get-host-names true;' now also works even if 'use-host-decl-names true;'
52 was also configured. The nature of this repair also fixes another
53 error; the host-name supplied by a client is no longer overridden by a
54 reverse lookup of the lease address. Thanks to a patch from Wilco Baan
55 Hofman supplied to us by the Debian package maintenance team.
56 [ISC-Bugs #21691] {Debian Bug#509445}
57
f07d0fb5
DH
58- The .TH tag for the dhcp-options manpage was typo repaired
59 thanks to a report from jidanni and the Debian package maintenance
60 team. [ISC-Bugs #21676] {Debian Bug#563613}
61
d6645f56
SR
62- More documentation changes - primarily to put the options in the dhclient
63 and dhcpd man pages into the standard form. Thanks in part to a patch
64 from David Cantrell at Red Hat.
65 [ISC-Bugs #20264] and parts of [ISC-Bugs #17744] dhclient.8 changes
66
4a5098e9
SR
67- Add code to clear the pointer to an object in an OMAPI handle when the
68 object is freed due to a dereference. [ISC-Bugs #21306]
69
ea75d544
DH
70- Fixed a bug that leaks host record references onto lease structures,
71 causing the server to apply configuration intended for one host to any
72 other innocent clients that come along later. [ISC-Bugs #22018]
73
66be0ad1
SR
74- Minor code fixes
75 [ISC-Bugs #19566] When trying to find the zone for a name for ddns allow
76 the name to be at the apex of the zone.
77 [ISC-Bugs #19617] Restrict length of interface name read from command line
78 in dhcpd - based on a patch from David Cantrell at Red Hat.
79 [ISC-Bugs #20039] Correct some error messages in dhcpd.c
80 [ISC-Bugs #20070] Better range check on values when creating a DHCID.
81 [ISC-Bugs #20198] Avoid writing past the end of the field when adding
82 overly long file or server names to a packet and add a log message
83 if the configuration supplied overly long names for these fields.
84 Thanks to Martin Pala.
85 [ISC-Bugs #21497] Add a little more randomness to rng seed in client
86 thanks to a patch from Jeremiah Jinno.
87
57fbc772
SR
88- Correct error handling in DLPI [ISC-Bugs #20378]
89
90- Remove __sun__ and __hpux__ typedefs in osdep.h as they are now being
91 checked in configure. [ISC-Bugs #20443]
92
93- Modify how the cmsg header is allocated the v6 send and received routines
94 to compile on more compilers. [ISC-Bugs #20524]
95
96- When parsing a domain name free the memory for the name after we are
97 done with it. [ISC-Bugs #20824]
98
197c917e
SR
99- Add an elapsed time option to the release message and refactor the
100 code to move most of the common code to a single routine.
101 [ISC-Bugs #21171].
102
8bd445a1
DH
103- Two identical log messages for commit_leases() have been disambiguated.
104 [ISC-Bugs #18915]
105
83d409ae
SR
106- Parse date strings more properly - the code now handles semi-colons in
107 date strings correctly. Thanks to a patch from Jiri Popelka at Red Hat.
108 [ISC-Bugs #21501, #20598]
109
6aaaf6a4
SR
110- Fixes to lease input and output.
111 [ISC-Bugs #20418] - Some systems don't support the "%s" argument to
112 strftime, paste together the same string using mktime instead.
113 [ISC-Bugs #19596] - When parsing iaid values accept printable
114 characters.
115 [ISC-Bugs #21585] - Always print time values in omshell as hex
116 instead of ascii if the values happen to be printable characters.
117
badc999d
SR
118 Changes since 4.2.0b2
119
120- Add declaration for variable in debug code in alloc.c. [ISC-Bugs #21472]
0d8c3d6e 121
1e05d095
SR
122 Changes since 4.2.0b1
123
d122accf
SR
124- Prohibit including lease time information in a response to a DHCP INFORM.
125 [ISC-Bugs #21092]
1e05d095 126
1943bbf8
SR
127! Accept a client id of length 0 while hashing. Previously the server would
128 exit if it attempted to hash a zero length client id, providing attackers
d122accf 129 with a simple denial of service attack. [ISC-Bugs #21253]
63ff896a 130 CERT: VU#541921 - CVE: CVE-2010-2156
1943bbf8 131
8a513c43
DH
132- A memory leak in ddns processing was closed. [ISC-Bugs #21377]
133
d122accf
SR
134- Modify the exception handling for initial context creation. Previously
135 we would try and clean up before exiting. This could present problems
136 when the cleanup required part of the context that wasn't available. It
137 also didn't do much as we exited afterwards anyway. Now we simply log
138 the error and exit. [ISC-Bugs #21093]
139
0d8c3d6e
DH
140- A bug was fixed that could cause the DHCPv6 server to advertise/assign a
141 previously allocated (active) lease to a client that has changed subnets,
142 despite being on different shared networks. Dynamic prefixes specifically
143 allocated in shared networks also now are not offered if the client has
144 moved. [ISC-Bugs #21152]
145
590298e7
SR
146- Add some debugging output for use with the DDNS code. [ISC-Bugs #20916]
147
600ee619 148- Fix the trace code to handle timing events better and to truncate a file
2b58b865
SR
149 before using instead of overwriting it. [ISC-Bugs #20969]
150
151- Modify the determination of the default TTL to use for DDNS updates.
152 The user may still configure the ttl via ddns-ttl. The default for
153 both v4 and v6 is now 1/2 the (preferred) lease time with a limit. The
154 previous defaults (1/2 lease time without a limit for v4 and a default
155 value for v6) may be used by defining USE_OLD_DDNS_TTL in site.h
156 [ISC-Bugs #21126]
600ee619 157
a5c7bf77
DH
158- libisc/libdns is now brought up to version 9.7.1rc1. This corrects
159 three reported flaws in ISC DHCP;
160
161 o DHCP processes (dhcpd, dhclient) fail to start if one of either the
162 IPv4 or IPv6 address families is not present. [ISC-Bugs #21122]
163
164 o Assertion failure when attempting to cancel a previously running DDNS
165 update. [ISC-Bugs #21133]
166
167 o Compilation failure of libisc/libdns due to the use of a flexible
168 array member. [ISC-Bugs #21316]
169
0585235c
SR
170 Changes since 4.2.0a2
171
172- Update the fsync code to work with the changes to the DDNS code. It now
173 uses a timer instead of noticing if there are no more packets to process.
174
f4bc8261
SR
175- When constructing the DNS name structure from a text string append
176 the root to relative names. This satisfies a requirement in the DNS
177 library that names be absolute instead of relative and prevents DHCP
d122accf 178 from crashing. [ISC-Bugs #21054]
f4bc8261 179
33692791
DH
180- "The LDAP Patch" that has been circulating for some time, written by
181 Brian Masney and S.Kalyanasundraram and maintained for application to
182 the DHCP-4 sources by David Cantrell has been included. Please be
183 advised that these sources were contributed, and do not yet meet the
184 high standards we place on production sources we include by default.
185 As a result, the LDAP features are only included by using a compile-time
186 option which defaults off, and if you enable it you do so under your
187 own recognizance. We will be improving this software over time.
188 [ISC-Bugs #17741]
189
3c941d42 190 Changes since 4.2.0a1
928618dd
DH
191
192- When using 'ignore client-updates;', the FQDN returned to the client
193 is no longer truncated to one octet.
194
3c941d42
DH
195- Cleaned up an unused hardware address variable in nak_lease().
196
bdd8e747
DH
197- Manpage entries for the ia-pd and ia-prefix options were updated to
198 reflect support for prefix delegation.
199
3da71461
SR
200- Cleaned up some compiler warnings
201
fdfebedf
DH
202- An optimization described in the failover protocol draft is now included,
203 which permits a DHCP server operating in communications-interrupted state
204 to 'rewind' a lease to the state most recently transmitted to its peer,
205 greatly increasing a server's endurance in communications-interrupted.
206 This is supported using a new 'rewind state' record on the dhcpd.leases
207 entry for each lease.
208
7aa153b8
SR
209- Fix the trace code which was broken by the changes to the DDNS code.
210
adbef119
DH
211 Changes since 4.1.0 (new features)
212
d340bc24
DH
213- Failover port configuration can now be left to defaults (port 647) as
214 described in the -12 revision of the Failover draft (and assigned by
4b97eaff 215 IANA). Thanks in part to a patch from David Cantrell at Red Hat.
adbef119 216
0829d595
DH
217- If configured, dhclient may now transmit to an anycast MAC address,
218 rather than using a broadcast address. Thanks to a patch from David
219 Cantrell at Red Hat.
220
8a3c1e33
PS
221- Added client support for setting interface MTU and metric, thanks to
222 Roy "UberLord" Marples <roy@marples.name>.
223
a41d7a25
PS
224- Added client -D option to specify DUID type to send.
225
9e3eb22a
DH
226- A new failover configuration parameter has been introduced for those
227 environments where DHCP servers can be reasonably guaranteed to be
228 "down" when the failover TCP socket is severed, "auto-partner-down".
229 This parameter is not generally safe, and by default is disabled, so
230 please carefully review the documentation of this parameter in the
231 dhcpd.conf(5) manpage before determining to use it yourself.
232
33ea4622
DH
233- Added a configuration function, 'gethostname()', which calls the system
234 function of the same name and presents the results as a data expression.
235 This function can be used to incorporate the system level hostname of
236 the system the DHCP software is operating on in responses or queries (such
237 as including a failover partner's hostname in a dhcp message or binding
238 scope, or having a DHCP client send any system hostname in the host-name or
239 FQDN options by default).
240
5a671e87
DH
241- The dhcp-renewal-time and dhcp-rebinding-time options may now be configured
242 for DHCPv4 operation and used independently of the dhcp-lease-time
243 calculations. Invalid renew and rebinding times (e.g., greater than the
244 determined lease time) are omitted.
245
98bf1607
SR
246- Processing the DHCP to DNS server transactions in an asyncrhonous fashion.
247 The DHCP server or client can now continue with it's processing while
248 awaiting replies from the DNS server.
c900c5b2
DH
249
250- The 'hardware [ethernet|etc] ...;' parameter in host records has been
251 extended to attempt to match DHCPv6 clients by the last octets of a
252 DUID-LL or DUID-LLT provided by the client.
253
59112e84
SR
254 Changes since 4.1.0 (bug fixes)
255
62f6843d
MA
256- Remove infinite loop in token_print_indent_concat().
257
59112e84
SR
258- Validate the argument to the -p option.
259
47e6eb82
DH
260- The notorious 'option <unknown> ... larger than buffer' log line,
261 which is seen in some malformed DHCP client packets, was modified.
262 It now logs the universe name, and does not log the length values
263 (which are bogus corruption read from the packet anyway). It also
264 carries a hopefully more useful explanation.
265
159c89d7
EH
266- Suppress spurious warnings from configure about --datarootdir
267
1aa0fe5e
DH
268- A bug was fixed that caused the server not to answer some valid Solicit
269 and Request packets, if the dynamic range covering any requested addresses
270 had been deleted from configuration.
271
cd51403d
SR
272- Update the code to deal with GCC 4.3. This included two sets of changes.
273 The first is to the configuration files to include the use of
571c38b0 274 AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS. The second is to deal with return values that
cd51403d
SR
275 were being ignored.
276
64e1823d
DH
277- The db-time-format option was documented in manpages.
278
26e59ee9
DH
279- Using reserved leases no longer results in 'lease with binding state
280 free not on its queue' error messages, thanks to a patch from Frode
281 Nordahl.
282
70ea9345
PS
283- Fix a build error in dhcrelay, using older versions of gcc with
284 dhcpv6 disabled.
285
8d7dca58 286- Two uninitialized stack structures are now memset to zero, thanks to a
4b97eaff 287 patch from David Cantrell at Red Hat.
819186b7 288
f4534b17
DH
289- Fixed a cosmetic bug where pretty-printing valid domain-search options would
290 result in an erroneous error log message ('garbage in format string').
291
f9453d21
DH
292- A bug in DLPI packet transmission (Solaris, HP/UX) that caused the server
293 to stop receiving packets is fixed. The same fix also means that the MAC
294 address will no longer appear 'bogus' on DLPI-based systems.
295
296- A bug in select handling was discovered where the results of one select()
297 call were discarded, causing the server to process the next select() call
298 and use more system calls than required. This has been repaired - the
299 sockets will be handled after the first return from select(), resulting in
300 fewer system calls.
301
a3dcc0b1
DH
302- The update-conflict-detection feature would leave an FQDN updated without
303 a DHCID (still currently implemented as a TXT RR). This would cause later
304 expiration or release events to fail to remove the domain name. The feature
305 now also inserts the client's up to date DHCID record, so records may safely
306 be removed at expiration or release time. Thanks to a patch submitted by
307 Christof Chen.
308
95fd7038
DH
309- Memory leak in the load_balance_mine() function is fixed. This would
310 leak ~20-30 octets per DHCPDISCOVER packet while failover was in use
311 and in normal state.
312
313- Various compilation fixes have been included for the memory related
314 DEBUG #defines in includes/site.h.
315
8a3c1e33
PS
316- Fixed Linux client script 'unary operator expected' errors with DHCPv6.
317
318- Fixed setting hostname in Linux hosts that require hostname argument
319 to be double-quoted. Also allow server-provided hostname to
320 override hostnames 'localhost' and '(none)'.
321
dedde1ba
DH
322- Fixed failover reconnection retry code to continue to retry to reconnect
323 rather than restarting the listener.
324
a57df74a
DH
325- Compilation on Solaris with USE_SOCKETS defined in includes/site.h has
326 been repaired. Other USE_ overrides should work better.
327
328- A check for the local flavor of IFNAMSIZ had a broken 'else' condition,
329 that probably still resulted in the correct behaviour (but wouldn't use
330 a larger defined value provided by the host OS).
331
350576c5
DH
332- Fixed a bug where an OMAPI socket disconnection message would not result
333 in scheduling a failover reconnection, if the link had not negotiated a
334 failover connect yet (e.g.: connection refused, asynch socket connect()
335 timeouts).
336
792156a9
DH
337- A bug was fixed that caused the 'conflict-done' state to fail to be parsed
338 in failover state records.
339
8a4e543b
DH
340! A stack overflow vulnerability was fixed in dhclient that could allow
341 remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands as root on the system,
342 or simply terminate the client, by providing an over-long subnet-mask
1b12d999 343 option. CERT VU#410676 - CVE-2009-0692
8a4e543b 344
a1308b64
DH
345- Fixed a bug where relay agent options would never be returned when
346 processing a DHCPINFORM.
347
1b12d999
DH
348- Versions 3.0.x syntax with multiple name->code option definitions is now
349 supported. Note that, similarly to 3.0.x, for by-code lookups only the
350 last option definition is used.
351
d453265f
PS
352- Fixed a bug where a time difference of greater than 60 seconds between a
353 failover pair could cause the primary to crash on contact with the
354 secondary. Thanks to a patch from Steinar Haug.
355
3e29af1e
PS
356- Don't look for IPv6 interfaces on Linux when running in DHCPv4 mode.
357 Thanks to patches from Matthew Newton and David Cantrell.
358
b8d45c67
DH
359- Secondary servers in a failover pair will now perform ddns removals if
360 they had performed ddns updates on a lease that is expiring, or was
361 released through the primary. As part of the same fix, stale binding scopes
362 will now be removed if a change in identity of a lease's active client is
363 detected, rather than simply if a lease is noticed to have expired (which it
364 may have expired without a failover server noticing in some situations).
365
583c1c16
DH
366- A patch supplied by David Cantrell at RedHat was applied that detects
367 invalid calling parameters given to the ns_name_ntop() function.
368 Specifically, it detects if the caller passed a pointer and size pair
369 that causes the pointer to integer-wrap past zero.
370
e4e3a2ab
DH
371! Fixed a fenceposting bug when a client had two host records configured,
372 one using 'uid' and the other using 'hardware ethernet'. CVE-2009-1892
95f5d38c 373
875e99dc
SR
374- Fixed the check in the dhcp_interface_signal_handler routine to verify
375 the existence of the linked signal handler before calling it.
376
2267da84
DH
377- Both host and subnet6 configuration groups are now included whether a
378 fixed-address6 (DHCPv6) is in use or not. Host scoped configuration takes
379 precedence. This fixes two bugs, one where host scoped configuration
380 would not be included from a non-fixed-address6 host record, and the equal
381 and opposite bug where subnet6 scoped configuration would not be used when
571c38b0 382 over-riding values were not present in a matching fixed-address6 host
2267da84
DH
383 configuration.
384
cd3f0b9b
DH
385- ./configure now checks to ensure the intX_t and u_intX_t types are defined,
386 correcting a compilation failure when using Sun's compiler.
387
0493fdca
SR
388- Modified the handling of a connection to avoid releasing the omapi io
389 object for the connection while it is still in use. One symptom from
390 this error was a segfault when a failover secondary attempted to connect
391 to the failover primary if their clocks were not synchronized.
392
95bba8b6
SR
393- Clean up to allow compilation with gcc 2.95.4 on FreeBSD. Remove an
394 extra semi-colon from common/dns.c and moved setting a variable to NULL
395 in server/dhcpv6.c to allow the compiler to decide that the variable
396 was always properly set.
397
adbef119 398 Changes since 4.1.0b1
ebf076fe
EH
399
400- A missing "else" in dhcrelay.c could have caused an interface not to
401 be recognized.
61d75ea2 402
a4ffedd1
DH
403 Changes since 4.1.0a2
404
405- A cosmetic bug in DHCPDECLINE processing was fixed which caused all
406 successful DHCPDECLINEs to be logged as "not found" rather than
407 "abandoned".
408
6ff3b26d
FD
409- Added configuration file examples for DHCPv6.
410
1387545f
DH
411- Some failover debugging #defines have been better defined and some
412 high frequency messages moved to a deeper debugging symbol.
413
414- The CLTT parameter in failover is now only updated by client activity,
415 and not by failover binding updates (taking on the peer's CLTT).
416
417- Failover BNDUPD messages are now discarded if they conflict with an
d7ac7a27 418 update that has been transmitted, but not acknowledged.

fbcee149
DH
422- Delayed-ack is now a compile-time option, compiled out by default.
423 This feature is simply too experimental for right now, and causes
424 some problems to some failover installations. We will revisit this
425 in future releases.
426
f1672d89
DH
427- The !inet_pton() call in res_mkupdrec was adjusted to '<= 0' as
428 inet_pton returns either 1, 0, or -1.
429
236d3a99
DH
430- A dhclient-script for MacOS X has been included, which enables
431 'dhclient -6' support.
432
efa5e6b9
DH
433- DDNS removal routines were updated so that the DHCID is not removed until
434 the client has been deprived of all A and AAAA records (not only the last
435 one of either of those). This resolves a bug where dual stack clients
436 would not be able to regain their names after either expiration event.

445 routers option before the subnet mask option were receiving
446 only the latter. Fixed.

450- A partner-down failover server no longer emits 'peer holds all free leases'
451 if it is able to newly-allocate one of the peer's leases.
452
61220a00
EH
453- Fixed a coredump when adding a class via OMAPI.

c40e954c
EH
455- Check whether files are zero length before trying to parse them.
456
63971a83
DH
457- Ari Edelkind's PARANOIA patch has been included and may be compiled in
458 via two ./configure parameters, --enable-paranoia and
459 --enable-early-chroot.
460
66cebfcb
DH
461- ./configure was extended to cover many optional build features, such
462 as failover, server tracing, debugging, and the execute() command.
463
f8cbf390
DH
464- There is now a default 1/4 of a second scheduled delay between delayed
465 fsync()'s, it can be configured by the max-ack-delay configuration
466 parameter.
467
8269561d
DH
468- A bug was fixed where the length of a hostname was miscalculated, so that
469 hosts were given odd-looking domain names ("foo.bar.ba.example.com").
470
b445a411
DH
471- Shared network selection should be done from the innermost relay
472 valid link-address field, rather than the outermost.
473
bd72740e

474- Prefix pools are attached to shared network scopes.
475

DH
480- A memory leak when using omapi has been fixed.
481
9ac4206a
DH
482- DHCPv6 vendor-class options (VSIO) are now only sent when they appear
483 on the DHCPv6 ORO. This resolves a bug where VSIO options were placed
484 in IA_NA encapsulated options fields.
485
420d8b3f
FD
486- Integrated client with stateless, temporary address and prefix delegation
487 support.

495
7de20a95
EH
496- Merge DHCPv6-only "dhcrelay6" into general-purpose "dhcrelay" (use
497 "-6" option to select DHCPv6 mode).
498
d352732e
EH
499- Fix handling of -A and -a flags in dhcrelay; it was failing to expand
500 packet size as needed to add relay agent options.
501
7d6180be
DH
502- A bug in subnet6 parsing where options contained in subnet6 clauses would
503 not be applied to clients addressed within that network was repaired.
504
505- When configuring a "subnet {}" or "subnet6 {}" without an explicit
506 shared-network enclosing it, the DHCP software would synthesize a
507 shared-network to contain the subnet. However, all configuration
508 parameters within the subnet more intuitively belong "to any client
509 on that interface", or rather the synthesized shared-network. So,
510 when a shared-network is synthesized, it is used to contain the
511 configuration present inside the subnet {} clause. This means that
512 the configuration will be valid for all clients on that network, not
513 just those addressed out of the stated subnet. If you intended the
514 opposite, the workaround is to explicitly configure an empty
515 shared-network.
516
517- A bug was fixed where Information-Request processing was not sourcing
518 configured option values.
519
520- A warning was added since the DHCPv6 processing software does not yet
521 support class statements.
522
dd484ced
DH
523- Compliation warnings on GCC 4.3 relating to bootp source address
524 selection were repaired.
525
ecddae64
DH
526- The v6 BSD socket method was updated to use a single UDP BSD socket
527 no matter how many interfaces are involved, differentiating the
528 interfaces the packets were received on by the interface index supplied
529 by the OS.
530
531- The relay agent no longer listens to the All DHCP Servers Multicast
532 address.
533
534- A bug was fixed in data_string_sprintfa() where va_start was only called
535 once for two invocations of vsprintf() variants.
536
d104d45b
DH
537- ERO (RFC 4994) server support.
538
539- Basic and partial DHCPv6 leasequery support.
540
541- Reliable DHCPv6 release (previous behavior, send release and exit, is
542 still available with dhclient -6 -1 -r).

547
4cafb815 548- Added explicit parser support for zero-length DHCP options, such as
6d7f9584 549 rapid-commit, via format code 'Z'.
4cafb815 550
022fe95e
EH
551- It's now possible to update the "ends" field of a lease with OMAPI.
552 This is useful if you want not only to release a lease, but also make
553 it available for reuse right away. Hat tip to Christof Chen.
554

SK
555- Fixed definition of the iaaddr hash functions to use the correct
556 functions when referencing and dereferencing memory.

561 reserved IDs avoided).
562
b51c785f

563- Unicast options are taken into account only for RENEWs.
564
900405e9

565- NoAddrsAvail answers to SOLICITs are always ADVERTISEs even when a SOLICIT
566 carries a rapid-commit option.
567
96b620e5
FD
568- Return in place of raise an impossible condition when one tries to release
569 an empty active lease.
570
be62cf06
FD
571- Timer granularity is now 1/100s in the DHCPv6 client.
572
01a54c17
EH
573- The dhclient-script was updated to create a host route for the default
574 gateway if the supplied subnet mask for an IPv4 address was a /32. This
575 allows the client to work in 'captive' network environments, where the
576 operator does not want clients to crosstalk directly.
577
578- MINUS tokens should be parseable again.
579
580- Multiple (up to "delayed-ack x;" maximum) DHCPv4 packets are now queued and
581 released in bursts after single fsync() events when the upper limit is
582 reached or if the receiving sockets go dry. The practical upshot is
583 that fsync-coupled server performance is now multiplicitively increased.
584 The default delayed ack limit is 28. Thanks entirely to a patch from
585 Christof Chen.
586
587 Changes since 4.0.0 (bug fixes)
588
589- DHCP now builds on AIX.
590
591- Exit with warning when DHCPv6-specific statements are used in the
592 config file but -6 is not specified.
593
594- Fixed "--version" flag in dhcrelay
595
596- The 'min-secs' configuration parameter's log message has been updated to
597 be more helpful.
598
599- The warning logged when an address range doesn't fit in the subnets
600 they were declared has been updated to be more helpful and identify the
601 typo in configuration that created the spanning addresses.
602
603- A bug in failover pool rebalancing that caused POOLREQ message ping-pongs
604 was repaired.
605
606- A flaw in failover pool rebalancing that could cause POOLREQ messages to
607 be sent outside of the min-balance/max-balance scheduled intervals has
608 been repaired.
609
610- A cosmetic bug during potential-conflict recovery that caused the peer's
611 'conflict-done' state message to be logged as 'unknown-state' has been
612 repaired. It is now logged correctly.
613
49f61135
DH
614- A bug was fixed where the 'giaddr' may be used to find the client's subnet
615 rather than its own 'ciaddr'.
616
41d4652f
DH
617- A log message was introduced to clarify the situation where a failover
618 'address' parameter (the server's local address) did not resolve to an
619 IPv4 address.
620
2c9bf1f4
DH
621- The minimum site code value was set to 224 in 3.1.0 to track RFC3942. This
622 broke a lot of legacy site local configurations. The new code in place will
623 track site local space minimum option codes and logs a warning to encourage
624 updates and exploration of site local code migration problems. Option
625 codes less than 128 in site local spaces remain inaccessible.
626
627- A possible relay agent option bug was repaired where random server
628 initialization state may have been used to signal the relay agent
629 information options sub-option code for the 'END' of the option space.
630
cff9b78f
SK
631- Fixes to allow code to compile and run on Solaris 9.
632
c4d29896
SK
633- Fixes to allow code to compile on Mac OS X Leopard (10.5).
634
57fcb8d9
SK
635- When server is configured with options that it overrides, a warning is
636 issued when the configuration file is read, rather than at the time the
637 option is overridden. This was important, because the warning was given
638 every time the option was overridden, which could create a lot of
639 unnecessary logging.
640
219a65eb
DH
641- Fixed a compilation problems on platforms that define a value for FDDI,
642 which conflicts with a dhcp configuration syntax token by the same name.
643
ffdf3c8c
DH
644- When a failover server suspects it has encountered a peer running a
645 version 3.0.x failover server, a warning that the failover wire protocol
646 is incompatible is printed.
647
648- The failover server no longer issues a floating point error if it encounters
649 a previously undefined option code.
650
00a002fc
MA
651- Fix startup error messages to report a missing "subnet6 declaration", rather
652 than a missing "subnet declaration", when running as a DHCPv6 server.
653
7e9f7a1b
FD
654- DHCPv6 client timestamp in DUID was based on the year 1970 rather
655 than the year 2000.

663 Changes since 4.0.0b3
664
665- The reverse dns name for PTR updates on IPv6 addresses has been fixed to
666 use ip6.arpa. rather than default to in-addr.arpa and require user
667 configuration.
76db44f9 668
e32529a5
EH
669- dhc6_lease_destroy() and dhc6_ia_destroy() now set lease and IA pointers
670 to NULL after freeing, to prevent subsequent accesses to freed memory.
671
76db44f9
SK
672- The DHCPv6 server would not send the preference option unless the
673 client requested it, via the ORO. This has been fixed, so the DHCPv6
674 server will always send the preference value if it is configured.
e4a6be15 675
6f76de58
SK
676- When addresses were passed as hints to the server in an IA, they were
677 incorrectly handled, sometimes being treated as an error. Now the
678 server will treat these as hints and ignore them if it cannot supply
679 a requested address.
680
703873ab
DH
681- If the client had multiple addresses, and one expired (was not renewed
682 by the server), the client would continue to attempt to renew the same
683 old address over and over. Now, the client will omit any expired
684 addresses from future Confirm, Renew, or Rebind messages.
685
686- dhclient -6 will now select renew/rebind timers based upon the longest
687 address expiration time rather than the shortest expiration time, in
688 order to avoid cascading renewals in the event a server elects not to
689 extend one of multiple IAADDR leases.
690
b024480e
DH
691- The server now limits clients that request multiple addresses to one
692 address per IA by default, which can be adjusted through the
693 "limit-addrs-per-ia" configuration option.
694
c0216cb7
DH
695- The DHCPv6 client now issues fresh transaction IDs on Renew and Rebind
696 message exchanges, rather than using the most recent ID.

f8b3c6f4
DH
711- ./configure now autodetects local database locations rather than trying
712 to put dhcpd.leases and dhclient.leases in /usr/local/var/db, which no
713 one ever has.
714
b9137d42
SK
715- Regression fix for bug where server advertised a IPv6 address in
716 response to a SOLICIT but would not return the address in response
717 to a REQUEST.
718
9f1d5a2f
DH
719- A bug was fixed where the DHCPv6 server puts the NoAddrsAvail status
720 code in the IA_NA was fixed. The status code now appears in the root
721 level.

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

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

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

744 of service under unusual server configurations

785- DHCPv6 server Confirm message processing has been enhanced - it no
786 longer replies only to clients with host {} records, it now replies

791
7285af30
DH
792- DDNS updates state information are now stored in 'binding scopes' that
793 follow the leases through their lifecycles. This enables DDNS teardowns
794 on leases that are assigned and expired inbetween a server restart (the
795 state is recovered from dhcpd.leases). Arbitrary user-specified binding
796 scopes ('set var = "value";') are not yet supported.

DH
876- IPv6 subnets now have support for arbitrary allocation ranges via
877 a new 'range6' configuration directive.

DH
881- Corrected some situations where variables might be used without being
882 initialized.
883
884- Silenced several other compiler warnings.
885
886- Include the more standard sys/uio.h rather than rely upon other
f66f02cc
DH
887 header files to include it (fixes a BSD 4.2 compile failure).
888
889- Duplicate dhclient-script updates for DHCPv6 to all provided scripts.
a512d11b 890
4ba58919
DH
891- DHCPv4 I/O methods that failed to sense hardware address were corrected.
892
893- DHCPv4 is now the default (as documented) rather than DHCPv6. The default
894 was set to DHCPv6 to facilitate ease early development, and forgotten.
895
896- Corrected a segmentation violation in DHCPv4 socket processing.
897
8ea19a71 898- dhclient will now fork() into the background once it binds to an
45d545f0 899 IPv6 address, or immediately if the -n flag is supplied.
8ea19a71
DH
900
901- -q is now the default behaviour on dhclient, with -d or -v enabling
902 non-quiet (stderr logging) mode.

DH
910 Changes since 3.1.0 (NEW FEATURES)
911
912- DHCPv6 Client and Server protocol support. Use '-6' to run the daemons
913 as v6-only. Use '-4' to run the daemons as v4-only (default. There is
914 no support currently for both.
915
916- Server support for multiple IA_NA options, containing at most one
917 IAADDR option.
918
919- Client support for one IA_NA option, containing any number of IAADDR
920 options.
921
922- Server support for the DHCPv6 Information-request message.
923
924- Inappropriate unicast DHCPv6 messages sent to the server are now
925 discarded, and this has rearchitected the IO system slightly.
926
927- The DHCPv6 server DUID defaults to type 1, is persistently stored in
928 the leases database, and can be over-ridden (either completely, or by
929 specifying type 1 or type 2).
930
931- The server only uses Rapid-Commit if it has been configured with the
932 Rapid-Commit option and the client requests it.
933
934- DDNS support. We now update AAAA records in the same place we would
935 update A records, if we have an IPv6 address. We also generate IP6.ARPA
936 style names for PTR records if we're dealing with an IPv6 address. Both
937 A and AAAA updates are done using the same 'fqdn.' virtual option space
938 (although the DHCPv4 FQDN and DHCPv6 FQDN options are formatted
939 differently, they both use the same code here).
940
941- The Linux dhclient-script attempts to set and remove assigned addresses,
942 and to configure /etc/resolv.conf from nameserver and domain name
943 configurations. It can be extended to configure other parameters.
944
945- Initial DHCPv6 lease support.
946
947- The IO system now tracks all local IP addresses, so that the DHCP
948 applications (particularly the dhcrelay) can discern between what frames
949 were transmitted to it, and what frames are being carried through it which
950 it should not intercept.

DH
952 Changes since 3.1.0 (Maintenance)
953
954- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for virgin leases always
955 mapped to the primary. Virgin leases now have an interleaved preference
956 between primary and secondary.
957
958- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for clients with no client
959 identifier was sometimes mishashed to the peer. Load balancing during
960 runtime and pool rebalancing were opposing.
961
aa3e348e
DH
962- An assertion in lease counting relating to reserved leases was repaired.
963
e9c59645
DH
964- The subnet-mask option inclusion now conforms with RFC2132 section 3.3;
965 it will only appear prior to the routers option if it is present on the
966 Parameter-Request-List. The subnet-mask option will also only be
967 included by default (if it is not on the PRL) in response to DISCOVER
968 or REQUEST messages.
969
970- The FQDN option is only supplied if the client supplied an FQDN option or
971 if the FQDN option was explicitly requested on the PRL.

DH
980 Changes since 3.1.0b2
981
982- Failover rebalance events no longer play ping pong with round errors
983 (moving leases between free and back to backup where there are an
984 odd number of leases).
985
986- The 'pool' log line has been split into two messages, one before the
987 rebalance run, and one after.
988
989- Any queued BNDACKs are transmitted before transmitting new BNDUPDs.
990 This enforces the correct sequence of events for the remote server
991 processing these messages.

996 objects.
997
1ba87b37
EH
998- A new server config option "fqdn-reply" specifies whether the server
999 should send out option 81 (FQDN). Defaults to "on". If set to "off",
1000 the FQDN option is not sent, even if the client requested it. This is
1001 needed because some clients misbehave otherwise. Thanks to Christof Chen
1002 at Allianz.

EH
1004- Allow trace output files (-tf option) to be overwritten, rather than
1005 crashing dhcpd if the file already exists

EH
1007- A bug was fixed that caused dhcpd to segfault if a pool was declared
1008 outside the scope of a subnet in dhcpd.conf.

1010- Some uninitialized values were repaired in dhcpleasequery.c that
1011 caused the server to abort.
1012
4d2eaafb
DH
1013- A new server config option, 'do-reverse-updates', has been added
1014 which causes the server to abstain from performing updates on PTR
1015 records. Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen at Allianz.

1047 hash table was repaired.
1048
616d67cb
DH
1049- The servers now try harder to transmit pending binding updates when
1050 entering normal state.
1051
1052- UPDREQ/UPDREQALL handling was optimized - it no longer dequeues and
1053 requeues all pending updates. This should reduce the number of spurious
66c8f734
DH
1054 'xid mismatch' log messages.
1055
1056- An option definition referencing leak was fixed, which resulted in early
1057 termination of dhclient upon the renewal event.
616d67cb 1058
6708d944
DH
1059- Some default hash table sizes were tweaked, some upwards, some downwards.
1060 3.1.0a1's tables resulted in a reduction in default server memory use.
1061 The new selected values provide more of a zero sum (increasing the size
1062 of tables likely to be populated, decreasing the size of tables unlikely).
1063
45d545f0 1064- Lease structures appear in three separate hashes: by IP address, by UID,
6708d944
DH
1065 and by hardware address. One type of table was used for all three, and
1066 improvements to IP address hashing were applied to all three (so UID and
1067 hardware addresses were treated like 4-byte integers). There are now two
1068 types of tables, and the uid/hw hashes use functions more appropriate
1069 to their needs.
1070
1071- The max-lease-misbalance percentage no longer causes scheduled rebalance
1072 runs to be skipped: it still governs the schedule, but every scheduled
1073 run will attempt balance.
1074
a7ee93fe
DH
1075- A segfault bug in recursive encapsulation support has been corrected.
1076
98311e4b
DH
1077 Changes since 3.0 (New Features)
1078
1079- A workaround for certain STSN servers that send a mangled domain-name
1080 option was introduced for dhclient. The client will now accept corrupted
1081 server responses, if they contain a valid DHCP_MESSAGE_TYPE (OFFER, ACK,
1082 or NAK). The server will continue to not accept corrupt client packets.
1083
98bd7ca0 1084- Support for 'reserved' (pseudo-static) and BOOTP leases via failover
a55ccdd0 1085 was introduced.
98311e4b
DH
1086
1087- Support for adding, removing, and managing class and subclass statements
1088 via OMAPI.
1089
a55ccdd0
DH
1090- The failover implementation was updated to comply with revision 12 of
1091 the protocol draft.
1092
98311e4b
DH
1093- 'make install' now creates the initial zero-length dhcpd.leases file if
1094 one does not already exist on the system.
1095
b43c87ad 1096- RFC3942 compliance, site-local option spaces start at 224 now, not 128.
b43c87ad 1097
0b17f049
DH
1098- The Load Balance Algorithm was misimplemented. The current implementation
1099 matches RFC 3074.
1100
2727c1cf
DH
1101- lcase() and ucase() configuration expressions have been added which adjust
1102 their arguments from upper to lower and lower to upper cases respectively.
2714a8ef 1103 Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
2727c1cf 1104
febbd402
DH
1105- The dhclient 'reject ...;' statement, which rejects leases given by named
1106 server-identifiers, now permits address ranges to be specified in CIDR
7d7073e7 1107 notation. Thanks to a patch from David Boyce.
febbd402 1108
ee912528
DH
1109- The subnet-mask option is now supplied by default, but at lowest
1110 priority. This helps a small minority of clients that provide parameter
1111 request lists, but do not list the subnet-mask option because they were
1112 designed to interoperate with a server that behaves in this manner.
1113
1114- The FQDN option is similarly supplied even if it does not appear on the
1115 parameter request list, but not to the exclusion of options that do
1116 appear at the parameter request list. Up until now it had ultimate
1117 priority over the client's parameter request list.
1118
f7fdb216 1119- Varying option space code and length bit widths (8/16/32) are now
51202707 1120 supported. This is a milestone in achieving RFC 3925 "VIVSO" and
f7fdb216
DH
1121 DHCPv6 support.
1122
5e864416
DH
1123- A new common (server or client) option, 'db-time-format local;', has
1124 been added which prints the local time in /var/db/dhcpd.leases rather
1125 than UTC. Thanks to a patch from Ken Lalonde.
1126
b500bd4c
DH
1127- Some patches to improve DHCP Server startup speed from Andrew Matheson
1128 have been incorporated.
1129
2426234f
DH
1130- Failover pairs now implement 'MAC Affinity' on leases moving from the
1131 active to free states. Leases that belonged to the failover secondary
1132 are moved to BACKUP state rather than FREE upon exiting EXPIRED state.
1133 If lease rebalancing must move leases, it tries first to move leases
1134 that belong to the peer in need.
1135
1136- The server no longer sends POOLREQ messages unless the pool is severely
1137 misbalanced in the peer's favor (see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more details).
1138
1139- Pool rebalance events no longer happen upon successfully allocating a
1140 lease. Instead, they happen on a schedule. See 'man dhcpd.conf' for the
1141 min-balance and max-balance statements for more information.
1142
334bf491
DH
1143- The DHCP Relay Agent Information Option / Link Selection Sub-Option
1144 is now supported. (See RFC3527 for details).
1145
3004bebf
DH
1146- A new DDNS related server option, update-conflict-detection, has been
1147 added. If this option is enabled, dhcpd will perform normal DHCID
1148 conflict resolution (the default). If this option is disabled, it will
1149 instead trust the assigned name implicitly (removing any other bindings
1150 on that name). This option has not been made available in dhclient.
1151
567e8561
DH
1152- In those cases where the DHCP software manufactures an IP header (to
1153 transmit via bpf, lpf, etc), the IP TTL the software selects has been
1154 increased from 16 to 128. This is intended to match Microsoft Windows
1155 DHCP Client behaviour, to increase compatibility.
1156
a396d25f
DH
1157- 'ignore client-updates;' now has behaviour that is different from
1158 'deny client-updates;'. The client's request is not truly ignored,
1159 rather it is encouraged. Should this value be configured, the server
1160 updates DNS as though client-updates were set to 'deny'. That is, it
1161 enters into DNS whatever it is configured to do already, provided it is
1162 configured to. Then it sends a response to the client that lets the
1163 client believe it is performing client updates (which it will), probably
1164 for a different name. In essence, this lets the client do as it will,
1165 ignoring this aspect of their request.
1166
dba5803b
DH
1167- Support for compressed 'domain name list' style DHCP option contents, and
1168 in particular the domain search option (#119) was added.
1169
41e45067 1170- The DHCP LEASEQUERY protocol as defined in RFC4388 is now implemented.
6d103865
SK
1171 LEASEQUERY lets you query the DHCP server for information about a lease,
1172 using either an IP address, MAC address, or client identifier. Thanks
1173 to a patch from Justin Haddad.
1174
41e45067
DH
1175- DHCPD is now RFC2131 section 4.1 compliant (broadcast to all-ones ip and
1176 ethernet mac address) on the SCO platform specifically without any strange
1177 ifconfig hacks. Many thanks go to the Kroger Co. for donating the
1178 hardware and funding the development.
6d103865 1179
b543fea9
DH
1180- A new common configuration executable statement, execute(), has been
1181 added. This permits dhcpd or dhclient to execute a named external
1182 program with command line arguments specified from other configuration
1183 language. Thanks to a patch written by Mattias Ronnblom, gotten to us
1184 via Robin Breathe.
1185
b22de500
DH
1186- A new dhcp server option 'adaptive-lease-time-threshold' has been added
1187 which causes the server to substantially reduce lease-times if there are
1188 few (configured percentage) remaining leases. Thanks to a patch submitted
1189 from Christof Chen.
1190
96bbe8c5
SK
1191- Encapsulated option spaces within encapsulated option spaces is now
1192 formally supported.
1193
b8221d95
DH
1194 Changes since 3.0.6rc1
1195
1196- supersede_lease() now requeues leases in their respective hardware
1197 address hash bucket. This mirrors client identifier behaviour.

c1e6c832
DH
1199 Changes since 3.0.5
1200
f546c28b
DH
1201- Assorted fixes for broken network devices: Packet length is now
1202 determined from the IP header length field to finally calculate the
1203 UDP payload length, because some NIC drivers return more data than
5a22eb63 1204 they actually received.
f546c28b
DH
1205
1206- UDP packets are now stored in aligned data structures.
1207
c1e6c832
DH
1208- A logic error in omapi interface code was repaired that might result in
1209 incorrectly indicating 'up' state when any flags were set, rather than
23e10d37
DH
1210 specifically the INTERFACE_REQUESTED flag. Thanks to a patch from
1211 Jochen Voss which got to us via Andrew Pollock at Debian.
c1e6c832 1212
75ab3070
DH
1213- A reference leak on binding scopes set by ddns updates was repaired.
1214
d69fb6a8 1215- A memory leak in the minires_nsendsigned() function call was repaired.
23e10d37 1216 Effectively, this leaked ~176 bytes per DDNS update.
d69fb6a8 1217
02428754
DH
1218- In the case where an "L2" DHCP Relay Agent (one that does not set giaddr)
1219 was directly attached to the same broadcast domain as the DHCP server,
1220 the RFC3046 relay agent information option was not being returned to the
1221 relay in the server's replies. This was fixed; the dhcp server no longer
1222 requires the giaddr to reply with relay agent information. Note that
1223 this also improves compatibility with L2 devices that "intercept" DHCP
1224 packets and expect relay agent information even in unicast (renewal)
23e10d37
DH
1225 replies. Thanks to a patch from Pekka Silvonen.
1226
1227- A bug was fixed where the BOOTP header 'sname' field had a value, the
1228 copy written to persistent storage was actually the contents of the
1229 'file' field.
02428754 1230
ecde99a3
DH
1231- A bug was fixed where the nwip virtual option space was referencing
1232 the fqdn option's virtual option space's option cache.
1233
67674ffb
DH
1234- Timestamp parsing errors that indicated missing "minutes" fields rather
1235 than the actually missing "seconds" fields have been repaired thanks to
1236 a patch from Kevin Steves.
1237
830ebc4c
DH
1238- A grammar error in the dhclient.8 manpage was repaired thanks to a patch
1239 from Chris Wagner.
1240
c759db75
DH
1241- Several spelling typos were repaired, and some cross-references to other
1242 relevant documents were included in the manpages, thanks to a patch
1243 by Andrew Pollock which got to us via Tomas Pospisek.
1244
9aa3f3a5
DH
1245- Some bugs were fixed in the 'emergency relay agent options hologram'
1246 which is used to retain relay agent option contents from when the
1247 client was in INIT or REBIND states. This should solve problems where
1248 relay agent options were not echoed from the server, even when giaddr
1249 was set.
1250
3d0c598a
DH
1251- dhclient now closes its descriptor to dhclient.leases prior to executing
1252 dhclient-script. Thanks to a patch from Tomas Pospisek.
1253
d5b6835f
DH
1254- The server's "by client-id" and "by hardware address" hash table lists
1255 are now sorted according to the preference to re-allocate that lease to
1256 returning clients. This should eliminate pool starvation problems
1257 arising when "INIT" clients were given new leases rather than presently
1258 active ones.
1259
02428754 1260 Changes since 3.0.5rc1
0a73b7b6 1261
901306d5 1262- A bug was repaired in fixes to the dhclient, which sought to run the
0a73b7b6
SK
1263 dhclient-script with the 'EXPIRE' state should it receive a NAK in
1264 response to a REQUEST. The client now iterates the PREINIT state
1265 after the EXPIRE state, so that interfaces that might be configured
1266 'down' can be brought back 'up' and initialized.
1267
87a08ccc
DH
1268- DHCPINFORM handling for clients that properly set ciaddr and come to the
1269 server via a relay aget has been repaired.
1270
6da113fb
DH
1271 Changes since 3.0.4
1272
1273- A warning that host statements declared within subnet or shared-network
1274 scopes are actually global has been added.
1275
1276- The default minimum lease time (if min-lease-time was not specified)
1277 was raised from 0 to 300. 0 is not thought to be sensible, and is
1278 known to be damaging.
1279
1280- Added additional fatal error sanity checks surrounding lease binding
1281 state count calculations (free/active counts used for failover pool
1282 balancing).
1283
dcc557db
DH
1284- Some time value size fixes in 3.0.4 brought on from FreeBSD /usr/ports were
1285 misapplied to server values rather than client values. The server no longer
1286 advertises 8-byte lease-time options when on 64-bit platforms.
1287
1b2ab55f
DH
1288- A bug where leases not in ACTIVE state would get billed to billed classes
1289 (classes with lease limitations) was fixed. Non-active leases OFFERed
1290 to clients are no longer billed (but billing is checked before offering).
1291
e48891e8
DH
1292- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated in regard to the ddns-domainname
1293 configuration option - the default configuration and results should be
1294 more clear now.
1295
6cbc6629
DH
1296- If the dhclient were to receive a DHCPNAK while it was in the RENEW
1297 state (and consequently, had an active, 'bound' address and related
1298 configuration options), it would fail to 'tear down' this information
1299 before proceeding into INIT state. dhclient now iterates the dhclient-
1300 script with the 'EXPIRE' action to cause these teardowns prior to entering
1d3bfb17 1301 INIT state. Thanks to a patch from Chris Zimmerman.

1303- The omapi.1 manpage had some formatting errors repaired thanks to a patch
1304 from Yoshihiko Sarumaru.
1305
33e1cb2b
DH
1306- A few lines of code that were failover-specific were moved within
1307 #if defined() clauses so that compilation without failover could be
1308 made possible.

DH
1310- The log message emitted when the 'leased-address' value was not available
1311 in dhcpd.conf "executable statements" has been updated to be more helpful.
1312 Manpage information for this value has also been updated.

1314- Abandoned or dissociated (err condition) leases now remove any related
1315 dynamic dns bindings. Thanks to a patch from Patrick Schoo.

DH
1317- Attempting to write a new lease file to replace a corrupt (due to
1318 encountering non-retryable errors during writing) lease file should
1319 no longer result in an infinite recursion.
1320
2178df03
DH
1321- Host declaration hardware addresses and client identifiers may only be
1322 configured once. dhcpd will now fail to load config files that specify
1323 multiple identifiers (previous versions would silently over-ride the
1324 value with the later configured value).

SK
1326- Several option codes that have been allocated since our last release
1327 have been named and documented.
1328
1329- Option names of the form "unknown-123" have been removed from the in-
1330 memory hash tables. In order to support options of these names that
1331 may appear in dhclient.leases or similar in previous versions, the
1332 parser will now find the new option code definition, or mock up a
1333 generic option code definition. This should result in a smooth
1334 transition from one name to the other, as the new name is used to
1335 write new output.

1337 Changes since 3.0.4rc1

1339- The dhcp-options.5 manpage was updated to correct indentation errors
1340 thanks to a patch from Jean Delvare.
1341
1342 Changes since 3.0.4b3
1343
1344- Some manual pages were clarified pursuant to discussion on the dhcp-server
1345 mailing list.

1347 Changes since 3.0.4b2
1348
45d545f0 1349- Null-termination sensing for certain clients that unfortunately require
88cd8aca
DH
1350 it in DHCPINFORM processing was repaired.
1351
1352- The host-name option and a few others were moved from "X" format to "t"
1353 format to be compatible with new NULL handling functions.
1354
1355- DHCPINFORM processing is a little more careful about return addressing
1356 its responses, or if responding via a relay. The INFORM related
1357 messages also log the 'effective client ip address' rather than the
1358 client's supplied ciaddr (since some clients produce null ciaddrs).
1359
1360- The server was inappropriately sending leases to the RESET state in the
1361 event that multiple active leases were found to match a singly-identified
1362 client. This was changed to RELEASED (by accepting a different, ACTIVE
1363 binding, the client is implicitly releasing its lease). This repairs a
1364 bug wherein secondary servers in failover pairs detecting this condition
1365 move leases to RESET, and primaries refuse to accept that state
1366 transition (properly).
1367
1368- The memset-after-dmalloc() changes made in 3.0.4b1 have been backed out.
1369
1370 Changes since 3.0.4b1
1371
1372- Command line parsing in omshell was repaired - it no longer closes
1373 STDIN after reading one line.
1374
1375- The resolver library no longer closes the /etc/resolv.conf file
1376 descriptor it opened twice.
1377
1378- Changes to trailing NULL removal in 't' option-atoms has been rethought,
1379 it now includes 'd' (domain name) types, and tries hard not to rewind an
1380 option beyond the start of the text field it is un-terminating.
1381
1382 Changes since 3.0.3
1383
1384- A DDNS update handling function was misusing the DNS error codes, rather
1385 than the internal generic result enumeration. The result is a confusing
1386 syslog line, logging the wrong condition.
1387
1388- The DHCP Server was not checking pool balance in the case where it brought
1389 a non-ACTIVE lease out of storage for a client that was returning to use
1390 a lease it once had long ago, and had since expired.
1391
1392- Failover peers no longer bother to look for free leases to allocate when
1393 they already found the client's ACTIVE lease. DISCOVERs are load balanced
98bd7ca0 1394 whether freely-allocated or not, unless the server doubts the peer has
88cd8aca
DH
1395 leases to allocate.
1396
1397- Fixed a bug in dhcrelay agent addition code that suppressed trailing
45d545f0 1398 PAD options - it was suppressing only one trailing PAD option, rather
88cd8aca
DH
1399 than the entire block of them.
1400
3a16098f
DH
1401! Fixed some unlikely overlapping-region memcpy() bugs in dhcrelay agent
1402 option addition and stripping code. Added a few sanity checks. Although
1403 highly improbable, due to requiring the reception of a DHCP datagram well
1404 in excess of all known to be used physical MTU limitations, it is possible
1405 this may have been used in a stack overflow security vulnerability. Thanks
1406 to a patch from infamous42md.
1407
1408! Added some sanity checks to OMAPI connection/authentication code.
1409 Although highly improbable, due to having to deliver in excess of 2^32
1410 bytes of data via the OMAPI channel, not to mention requiring dhcpd to
1411 be able to malloc() a memory region 2^32 bytes in size, it was possible
1412 this might have resulted in a heap overflow security vulnerability.
1413 Thanks to a patch from infamous42md.

DH
1414
1415- dmalloc() memset()'s the non-debug (data) portion of the allocated
1416 memory to zero. Code that memset()'s the result returned by dmalloc() to
1417 zero is redundant. These redundancies were removed.
1418
1419- Some type declaration corrections to u_int16_t were made in common/tr.c
4b97eaff 1420 (Token Ring support) thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.

DH
1421
1422- A failover bug that was allowing leases that EXPIRED or were RELEASED
1423 where tsfp and tstp are identical timestamps to languish in these
1424 transitional states has been repaired. As a side effect, lease
1425 databases should be kept more consistent overall, not just for these
1426 transitional states.
1427
1428- If the lease db is deleted out from under the daemon, and it moves to rewrite
1429 the db, it will go ahead with the operation and move the new db into place
1430 once it detects the old db does not exist.
1431
1432- dhclient now ignores IRDA, SIT, and IEEE1394 network interfaces, as it
1433 is either nonsensical or (in the case of IEEE1394) is not known to support
1434 these interfaces. Thanks to Marius Gedminas and Andrew Pollock of Debian.
1435
1436- Some previously undocumented reasons for dhclient-script invoking has
45d545f0 1437 been documented in the dhclient-script.8 manpage.

DH
1438
1439- Failover potential expiry calculations (TSTP) have been corrected. Results
1440 should be substantially more consistent, and proper given the constraints.
1441
1442- Adjusted lease state validation checks in potential-conflict, to
1443 account for possible clock skew similarly to normal state, and several
1444 previously illegal transitions were made legal (ex: active->released).
1445
1446- An impossible sanity check was removed from omapi/buffer.c, thanks to a
1447 patch from 'infamous42md'.
1448
1449- An OMAPI host/network byte order problem in lease time values has been
1450 repaired.
1451
1452- Several minor bugs, largely relating to treating 8-byte time values as
1453 4-byte entities, have been repaired after careful review of the FreeBSD
1454 ports collection's patch set. Thanks to the nameless entities who have
1455 contributed to the FreeBSD ports.
1456
1457- When writing a trace file, the file is now created with permissions 0600,
1458 to help administrators avoid accidentally publicising sensitive config
1459 data.
1460
1461- The calculation of the maximum size of DHCP packets no longer includes
1462 Ethernet framing overhead. The result is that the 'Maximum Message
1463 Size' option advertised by clients, or the default value 576, is no
1464 longer reduced by 14 bytes, and instead directly reflects the IP level
1465 MTU (and the default, minimum allowed IP MTU of 576).
1466
1467- The special status of RELEASED/EXPIRED/RESET leases when a server
1468 is operating in partner-down was fixed. It no longer requires a
1469 lease be twice the MCLT beyond STOS to 'reallocate', and the expiry
1470 event to turn these into FREE leases without peer acknowledgement
1471 (after STOS+MCLT) has been repaired.
1472
1473- Compilation on older Solaris systems (lacking /usr/include/sys/int_types.h)
1474 has been repaired.
1475
1476- "append"ing a string onto the end of a "t" type option (such as the
1477 domain-name field) that had been improperly NULL-terminated by the
1478 DHCP server will no longer result in a truncated string containing
1479 only the option from the server, and not the expected appended value.
4b97eaff 1480 Thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
88cd8aca
DH
1481
1482- File handlers on configuration state (config files and lease dbs) should
98bd7ca0 1483 be treated consistently, regardless of whether TRACING is defined or not.
88cd8aca 1484
45d545f0 1485- The Linux build environment has had some minor improvements - better
88cd8aca
DH
1486 sensing of 64-bit pointer sizes (only used for establishing an icmp_id),
1487 and corrections to #if operators regarding LINUX_MAJOR should it ever
1488 move to 3.[01].x.
1489
1490- The server now tries harder to survive the condition where it is unable
1491 to open a new lease file to rewrite the lease state database.

1493 Changes since 3.0.3b3
1494
1495- dhclient.conf documentation for interface {} was updated to reflect recent
1496 discussion on the dhcp-hackers mailing list.
1497
1498- In response to reports that the software does not compile on GCC 4.0.0,
1499 -Werror was removed from Makefile.conf for all platforms that used it.
1500 We will address the true problem in a future release; this is a temporary
1501 workaround.
1502
1503 Changes since 3.0.3b2
1504
1505- An error in code changes introduced in 3.0.3b2 was corrected, which caused
1506 static BOOTP clients to receive random addresses.
1507
1508 Changes since 3.0.3b1
1509
1510- A bug was fixed in BOOTPREQUEST handling code wherein stale references to
1511 host records would be left behind on leases that were not allocated to the
1512 client currently booting (eg in the case where the host was denied booting).
1513
1514- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated to be more clear in regards to
1515 multiple host declarations (thanks to Vincent McIntyre). 'Interim' style
1516 dynamic updates were also retouched.

DH
1518 Changes since 3.0.2
1519
1520- A bug was fixed where a server might load balance a DHCP REQUEST to its
45d545f0 1521 peer after already choosing not to load balance the preceding DISCOVER.
98311e4b
DH
1522 The peer cannot allocate the originating server's lease.
1523
1524- In the case where a secondary server lost its stable storage while the
1525 primary was still in communications-interrupted, and came back online,
1526 the lease databases would not be fully transferred to the secondary.
1527 This was due to the secondary errantly sending an extra UPDREQ message
1528 when the primary made its state transition to PARTNER-DOWN known.
1529
1530- The package will now compile cleanly in gcc 3.3 and 3.4. As a side effect,
1531 lease structures will be 9 bytes smaller on all platforms. Thanks to
4b97eaff 1532 Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
1533
1534- Interface discovery code in DISCOVER_UNCONFIGURED mode is now
1535 properly restricted to only detecting broadcast interfaces. Thanks
4b97eaff 1536 to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
1537
1538- decode_udp_ip_header was changed so that the IP address was copied out
1539 to a variable, rather than referenced by a pointer. This enforces 4-byte
1540 alignment of the 32-bit IP address value. Thanks to a patch from Dr.
1541 Peter Poeml.
1542
1543- An incorrect log message was corrected thanks to a patch from
1544 Dr. Peter Poeml.
1545
1546- A bug in DDNS was repaired, where if the server's first DDNS action was
1547 a DDNS removal rather than a DDNS update, the resolver library's
1548 retransmit timer and retry timer was set to the default, implying a
1549 15 second timeout interval. Which is a little excessive in a synchronous,
1550 single-threaded system. In all cases, ISC DHCP should now hold fast to
1551 a 1-second timeout, trying only once.
1552
1553- The siaddr field was being improperly set to the server-identifier when
1554 responding to DHCP messages. RFC2131 clarified the siaddr field as
1555 meaning the 'next server in the bootstrap process', eg a tftp server.
1556 The siaddr field is now left zeroed unless next-server is configured.
1557
1558- mockup_lease() could have returned in an error condition (or in the
1559 condition where no fixed-address was found matching the shared
1560 network) with stale references to a host record. This is probably not
1561 a memory leak since host records generally never die anyway.
1562
1563- A bug was repaired where failover servers would let stale client identifiers
1564 persist on leases that were reallocated to new clients not sending an id.
1565
1566- Binding scopes ("set var = value;") are now removed from leases allocated
1567 by failover peers if the lease had expired. This should help reduce the
1568 number of stale binding scopes on leases.
1569
1570- A small memory leak was closed involving client identifiers larger than
1571 7 bytes, and failover.
1572
1573- Configuring a subnet in dhcpd.conf with a subnet mask of 32 bits might
1574 cause an internal function to overflow heap. Thanks to Jason Vas Dias
4b97eaff 1575 at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
1576
1577- Some inconsistencies in treating numbers that the lexer parsed as 'NUMBER'
1578 or 'NUMBER_OR_NAME' was repaired. Hexadecimal parsing is affected, and
1579 should work better.
1580
1581- In several cases, parse warnings were being issued before the lexical
1582 token had been advanced to the token whose value was causing an error...
1583 causing parse warnings to claim the problem is on the wrong token.
1584
1585- Host declarations matching on client identifier for dynamic leases will
1586 no longer match fixed-address host declarations (this is now identical
1587 to behaviour for host records matching on hardware address).
1588
1589 Changes since 3.0.2rc3
1590
1591- A previously undocumented configuration directive, 'local-address',
1592 was documented in the dhcpd.conf manpage.
1593
1594 Changes since 3.0.2rc2
1595
45d545f0 1596- Two variables introduced in 3.0.2b1 were used without being initialized
98311e4b
DH
1597 in the case where neither the FILE nor SNAME fields were available for
1598 overloading. This was repaired.
1599
1600- A heretofore believed to be impossible corner case of the option
1601 overloading implementation turned out to be possible ("Unable to sort
1602 overloaded options after 10 tries."). The implementation was reworked
1603 to consider the case of an option so large it would require more than
1604 three chunks to fit.
1605
1606- Many other instances of variables being used without being initialized
1607 were repaired.
1608
1609- An uninitialized variable in omapi_io_destroy() led to the discovery
1610 that this function may result in orphaned pointers (and hence, a memory
1611 leak).
1612
1613 Changes since 3.0.2rc1
1614
1615- allocate_lease() was rewritten to repair a bug in which the server would
1616 try to allocate an ABANDONED lease when FREE leases were available.
1617
1618 Changes since 3.0.2b1
1619
1620- Some dhcp-eval.5 manpage formatting was repaired.
1621
1622 Changes since 3.0.1
1623
1624- A bug was fixed in the server's 'option overloading' implementation,
1625 where options loaded into the 'file' and 'sname' packet fields were
1626 not aligned precisely as rfc2131 dictates.
1627
1628- The FreeBSD client script was changed to support the case where a domain
1629 name was not provided by the server.
1630
1631- A memory leak in 'omshell' per each command line parsed was
1632 repaired, thanks to a patch from Jarkko Torppa.
1633
1634- Log functions writing to stderr were adjusted to use the STDERR_FILENO
1635 system definition rather than '2'. This is a no-op for 90% of platforms.
1636
1637- One call to trace_write_packet_iov() counted the number of io vectors
1638 incorrectly, causing inconsistent tracefiles. This was fixed.
1639
1640- Some expression parse failure memory leaks were closed.
1641
1642- A host byte order problem in tracefiles was repaired.
1643
1644- Pools configured in DHCPD for failover possessing permission lists that
1645 previously were assumed to not include dyanmic bootp clients are now
1646 a little more pessimistic. The result is, dhcpd will nag you about just
1647 about most pools that possess a 'allow' statement with no 'deny' that
1648 would definitely match a dynamic bootp client.
1649
1650- The 'ddns-update-style' configuration warning bit now insists that
1651 the configuration be globally scoped.
1652
1653- Two memory leaks in dhclient were closed thanks to a patch from Felix
1654 Farkas.
1655
1656- Some minor but excellently pedantic documentation errors were fixed
1657 thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
1658
1659- Bugs in operator precedence in executable statements have been repaired
1660 once again. More legal syntaxes should be parsed legally.
1661
1662- Failing to initialize a tracefile for any reason if a tracefile was
1663 specified is now a fatal error. Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
1664
1665- Corrected a bug in which the number of leases transferred as calculated
1666 by the failover primary and sent to peers in POOLRESP responses may be
1667 incorrect. This value is not believed to be used by other failover
1668 implementations, excepting perhaps as logged information.
1669
1670- Corrected a bug in which 'dhcp_failover_send_poolresp()' was in fact
1671 sending POOLREQ messages instead of POOLRESP mesasges. This message
1672 was essentially ignored since failover secondaries effectively do not
1673 respond to POOLREQ messages.
1674
1675- Type definitions for various bitwidths of integers in the sunos5-5
1676 build of ISC DHCP have been fixed. It should compile and run more
1677 easily when built in 64-bit for this platform.
1678
1679- "allow known-clients;" is now a legal syntax, to avoid confusion.
1680
1681- If one dhcp server chooses to 'load balance' a request to its failover
1682 peer, it first checks to see if it believes said peer has a free
1683 lease to allocate before ignoring the DISCOVER.
1684
1685- log() was logging a work buffer, rather than the value returned by
1686 executing the statements configured by the user. In some cases,
1687 the work buffer and the intended results were the same. In some other
1688 cases, they were not. This was fixed thanks to a patch from Gunnar
1689 Fjone and directconnect.no.
1690
1691- Compiler warnings for some string type conversions was fixed, thanks
1692 to Andreas Gustafsson.
1693
1694- The netbsd build environments were simplified to one, in which
1695 -Wconversion is not used, thanks to Andreas Gustafsson.
1696
1697- How randomness in the backoff-cutoff dhclient configuration variable
1698 is implemented was better documented in the manpage, and the behaviour
1699 of dhclient in REQUEST timeout handling was changed to match that of
1700 DISCOVER timeout handling.
1701
1702- Omapi was hardened against clients that pass in null values, thanks
1703 to a patch from Mark Jason Dominus.
1704
1705- A bug was fixed in dhclient that kept it from doing client-side
1706 ddns updates. Thanks to a patch from Andreas Gustafsson, which
1707 underwent some modification after review by Jason Vas Dias.
1708
1709- Failover implementations disconnected due to the network between
1710 them (rather than one of the two shutting down) will now try to
1711 re-establish the failover connection every 5 seconds, rather than
1712 to simply try once and give up until one of them is restarted.
1713 Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from Infoblox, and field testing
1714 by Greger V. Teigre which led to an enhancement to it.
1715
1716- A problem that kept DHCP Failover secondaries from tearing down
1717 ddns records was repaired. Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from
1718 Infoblox.
1719
1720- 64bit pointer sizes are detected properly on FreeBSD now.
1721
1722- A bug was repaired where the DHCP server would leave stale references
1723 to host records on leases it once thought about offering to certain
1724 clients. The result would be to apply host and 'known' scopes to the
1725 wrong clients (possibly denying booting). NOTE: The 'mis-host' patch
1726 that was being circulated as a workaround is not the way this bug was
1727 fixed. If you were a victim of this bug in 3.0.1, you are cautioned
1728 to proceed carefully and see if it fixes your problem.
1729
1730- A bug was repaired in the server's DHCPINFORM handling, where it
1731 tried to divine the client's address from the source packet and
1732 would get it wrong. Thanks to Anshuman Singh Rawat.
1733
1734- A log message was introduced to help illuminate the case where the
1735 server was unable to find a lease to assign to any BOOTP client.
1736 Thanks to Daniel Baker.
1737
1738- A minor dhcpd.conf.5 manpage error was fixed.
1739
1740 Changes since 3.0.1rc14
1741
1742- The global variable 'cur_time' was centralized and is now uniformly of a
1743 type #defined in system-dependent headers. It had previously been defined
1744 in one of many places as a 32-bit value, and this causes mayhem on 64-bit
1745 big endian systems. It probably wasn't too healthy on little endian
1746 systems either.
1747
1748- A printf format string error introduced in rc14 was repaired.
1749
1750- AIX system-dependent header file was altered to only define NO_SNPRINTF
1751 if the condition used to #ifdef in vsnprintf in AIX' header files
1752 is false.
1753
1754- The Alpha/OSF system-dependent header file was altered to define
1755 NO_SNPRINTF on OS revisions older than 4.0G.
1756
1757- omapip/test.c had string.h added to its includes.
1758
1759 Changes since 3.0.1rc13

1761! CAN-2004-0460 - CERT VU#317350: Five stack overflow exploits were closed
1762 in logging messages with excessively long hostnames provided by the
1763 clients. It is highly probable that these could have been used by
1764 attackers to gain arbitrary root access on systems using ISC DHCP 3.0.1
1765 release candidates 12 or 13. Special thanks to Gregory Duchemin for
1766 both finding and solving the problem.
1767
1768! CAN-2004-0461 - CERT VU#654390: Once the above was closed, an opening
45d545f0 1769 in log_*() functions was evidenced, on some specific platforms where
98311e4b
DH
1770 vsnprintf() was not believed to be available and calls were wrapped to
1771 sprintf() instead. Again, credit goes to Gregory Duchemin for finding
1772 the problem. Calls to snprintf() are now linked to a distribution-local
1773 snprintf implementation, only in those cases where the architecture is
1774 not known to provide one (see includes/cf/[arch].h). If you experience
1775 linking problems with snprintf/vsnprintf or 'isc_print_' functions, this
1776 is where to look. This vulnerability did not exist in any previously
1777 published version of ISC DHCP.
1778
1779- Compilation on hpux 11.11 was repaired.
1780
1781- 'The cross-compile bug fix' was backed out.
1782
1783 Changes since 3.0.1rc12
1784
1785- Fixed a bug in omapi lease lookup function, to form the hardware
1786 address for the hash lookup correctly, thanks to a patch from
1787 Richard Hirst.
1788
1789- Fixed a bug where dhcrelay was sending relayed responses back to the
1790 broadcast address, but with the source's unicast mac address. Should
1791 now conform to rfc2131 section 4.1.
1792
1793- Cross-compile bug fix; use $(AR) instead of ar. Thanks to Morten Brorup.
1794
1795- Fixed a crash bug in dhclient where dhcpd servers that do not provide
1796 renewal times results in an FPE. As a side effect, dhclient can now
1797 properly handle 0xFFFFFFFF (-1) expiry times supplied by servers. Thanks
1798 to a patch from Burt Silverman.
1799
1800- The 'ping timeout' debugs from rc12 were removed to -DDEBUG only,
45d545f0 1801 and reformatted to correct a compilation error on Solaris platforms.
98311e4b
DH
1802
1803- A patch was applied which fixes a case where leases read from the
1804 leases database do not properly over-ride previously read leases.
1805
1806- dhcpctl.3 manpage was tweaked.
1807
1808 Changes since 3.0.1rc11
1809
1810- A patch from Steve Campbell was applied with minor modifications to
1811 permit reverse dns PTR record updates with values containing spaces.
1812
1813- A patch from Florian Lohoff was applied with some modifications to
1814 dhcrelay. It now discards packets whose hop count exceeds 10 by default,
1815 and a command-line option (-c) can be used to set this threshold.
1816
1817- A failover bug relating to identifying peers by name length instead of
1818 by name was fixed.
1819
45d545f0 1820- Declaring failover configs within shared-network statements should no
98311e4b
DH
1821 longer result in error.
1822
1823- The -nw command line option to dhclient now works.
1824
1825- Thanks to a patch from Michael Richardson:
1826 - Some problems with long option processing have been fixed.
1827 - Some fixes to minires so that updates of KEY records will work.
1828
1829- contrib/ms2isc was updated by Shu-Min Chang of the Intel Corporation.
1830 see contrib/ms2isc/readme.txt for revision notes.
1831
1832- Dhclient no longer uses shell commands to kill another instance of
1833 itself, it sends the signal directly. Thanks to a patch from Martin
1834 Blapp.
1835
1836- The FreeBSD dhclient-script was changed so that a failure to write to
1837 /etc/resolv.conf does not prematurely end the script. This keeps dhclient
1838 from looping infinitely when this is the case. Thanks to a patch from
1839 Martin Blapp.
1840
1841- A patch from Bill Stephens was applied which resolves a problem with lease
1842 expiry times in failover configurations.
1843
1844- A memory leak in configuration parsing was closed thanks to a patch from
1845 Steve G.
1846
1847- The function which discovers interfaces will now skip non-broadcast or
1848 point-to-point interfaces, thanks to a patch from David Brownlee.
1849
1850- Options not yet known by the dhcpd or dhclient have had their names
1851 changed such that they do not contain # symbols, in case they should ever
1852 appear in a lease file. An option that might have been named "#144" is
1853 now "unknown-144".
1854
1855- Another patch from Bill Stephens which allows the ping-check timeout to
1856 be configured as 'ping-timeout'. Defaults to 1.
1857
1858 Changes since 3.0.1rc10
1859
1860- Potential buffer overflows in minires repaired.
1861
1862- A change to the linux client script to use /bin/bash, since /bin/sh may
1863 not be bash.
1864
1865- Some missing va_end cleanups thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
1866
1867- A correction of boolean parsing syntax validation - some illegal syntaxes
1868 that worked before are now detected and produce errs, some legal syntaxes
1869 that errored before will now work properly.
1870
1871- Some search-and-replace errors that caused some options to change their
1872 names was repaired.
1873
1874- Shu-min Chang of the Intel corporation has contributed a perl script and
1875 module that converts the MS NT4 DHCP configuration to a ISC DHCP3
1876 configuration file.
1877
1878- Applied the remainder of the dhcpctl memory leak patch provided by Bill
1879 Squier at ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
1880
1881- Missing non-optional failover peer configurations will now result in a soft
1882 error rather than a null dereference.
1883
1884 Changes since 3.0.1rc9
1885
1886- A format string was corrected to fix compiler warnings.
1887
1888- A number of spelling corrections were made in the man pages.
1889
1890- The dhclient.conf.5 man page was changed to refer to do-forward-updates
1891 rather than a configuration option that doesn't exist.
1892
1893- A FreeBSD-specific bug in the interface removal handling was fixed.
1894
1895- A Linux-specific Token Ring detection problem was fixed.
1896
1897- Hashes removed from as-yet-unknown agent options, having those options
1898 appear in reality before we know about them will no longer produce
1899 self-corrupting lease databases.
1900
1901- dhclient will use the proper port numbers now when using the -g option.
1902
1903- A order-of-operations bug with 2 match clauses in 1 class statement is
1904 fixed thanks to a patch from Andrew Matheson.
1905
1906- Compilation problems on Solaris were fixed.
1907
1908- Compilation problems when built with DEBUG or DEBUG_PACKET were repaired.
1909
1910- A fix to the dhcp ack process which makes certain group options will be
1911 included in the first DHCPOFFER message was made thanks to a patch from
1912 Ling Gou.
1913
1914- A few memory leaks were repaired thanks to patches from Bill Squier at
1915 ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
1916
1917- A fix for shared-networks that sometimes give clients options for the
1918 wrong subnets (in particular, 'option routers') was applied, thanks to
1919 Ted Lemon for the patch.
1920
1921- Omshell's handling of dotted octets as values was changed such that dots
1922 one after the other produce zero values in the integer string.
1923
1924 Changes since 3.0.1rc8
1925
1926- Fix a format string vulnerability in the server that could lead to a
1927 remote root compromise (discovered by NGSEC Research Team, www.ngsec.com).
1928
1929- Add additional support for NetBSD/sparc64.
1930
1931- Fix a bug in the command-line parsing of the client. Also, resolve
1932 a memory leak.
1933
1934- Add better support for shells other than bash in the Linux client
1935 script.
1936
1937- Various build fixes for modern versions of FreeBSD and Linux.
1938
1939- Fix a bad bounds check when printing binding state names.
1940
1941- Clarify documentation about fixed-address and multiple addresses.
1942
1943- Fix a typo in the authoritative error message.
1944
1945- Make a log entry when we can't write a billing class.
1946
1947- Use conversion targets that are the right size on all architectures.
1948
1949- Increment the hop count when relaying.
1950
1951- Log a message when lease state is changed through OMAPI.
1952
1953- Don't rerun the shared_network when evaluating the pool.
1954
1955- Fix a reversed test in the parser.
1956
1957- Change the type of rbuf_max.
1958
1959- Make FTS_LAST a manifest constant to quiet warnings.
1960
1961 Changes since 3.0.1rc7
1962
1963- Fix two compiler warnings that are generated when compiling on Solaris
1964 with gcc. These stop the build, even though they weren't actually
1965 errors, because we prefer that our builds generate no warnings.
1966
1967 Changes since 3.0.1rc6
1968
1969- Don't allow a lease that's in the EXPIRED, RELEASED or RESET state
1970 to be renewed.
1971
1972- Implement lease stealing for cases where the primary has fewer leases
1973 than the secondary, as called for by the standard.
1974
1975- Add a fudge factor to the lease expiry acceptance code, (suggested
1976 by Kevin Miller of CMU).
1977
1978- Fix a bug in permit_list_match that made it much too willing to say
1979 that two permit lists matched.
1980
1981- Unless DEBUG_DNS_UPDATES is defined, print more user-friendly (and
1982 also more compact) messages about DNS updates.
1983
1984- Fix a bug in generating wire-format domain names for the FQDN option.
1985
1986- Fix a bug where the FQDN option would not be returned if the client
1987 requested it, contrary to the standard.
1988
1989- On Darwin, use the FreeBSD DHCP client script.
1990
1991- On NetBSD/sparc, don't check for casting warnings.
1992
1993- Add a flag in the DHCP client to disable updating the client's A
1994 record when sending an FQDN option indicating that the client is
1995 going to update its A record.
1996
1997- In the client, don't attempt a DNS update until one second after
1998 configuring the new IP address, and if the update times out, keep
1999 trying until a response, positive or negative, is received from the
2000 DNS server.
2001
2002- Fix an uninitialized memory bug in the DHCP client.
2003
2004- Apply some FreeBSD-specific bug fixes suggested by Murray Stokely.
2005
2006- Fix a bug in ns_parserr(), where it was returning the wrong sort
2007 of result code in some cases (suggested by Ben Harris of the
2008 NetBSD project).
2009
2010- Fix a bug in is_identifier(), where it was checking against EOF
2011 instead of the END_OF_FILE token (also suggested by Ben Harris).
2012
2013- Fix a bug where if an option universe contained no options, the
2014 DHCP server could dump core (Walter Steiner).
2015
2016- Fix a bug in the handling of encapsulated options.
2017
2018- Fix a bug that prevented NWIP suboptions from being processed.
2019
2020- Delete the FTS_BOOTP and FTS_RESERVED states and implement them
2021 as modifier flags to the FTS_ACTIVE state, as called for in the
2022 failover protocol standard.
2023
2024- Fix bugs in the pool merging code that resulted in references and
2025 dereferences of null pointers. This bug had no impact unless the
2026 POINTER_DEBUG flag was defined.
2027
2028- In the server, added a do-forward-updates flag that can be used to
2029 disable forward updates in all cases, so that sites that want the
2030 clients to take sole responsibility for updating their A record can
2031 do so.
2032
2033- Make it possible to disable optimization of PTR record updates.
2034
2035 Changes since 3.0.1rc5
2036
2037- Include some new documentation and changes provided by Karl Auer.
2038
2039- Add a workaround for some Lexmark printers that send a double-NUL-
2040 terminated host-name option, which would break DNS updates.
2041
2042- Fix an off-by-one error in the MAC-address checking code for
2043 DHCPRELEASE that was added in 3.0.1rc5.
2044
2045- Fix a bug where client-specific information was not being discarded
2046 from the lease when it expired or was released, resulting in
2047 problems if the lease was reallocated to a different client.
2048
2049- If more than one allocation pool is specified that has the same set
2050 of constraints as another allocation pool on the same shared
2051 network, merge the two pools.
2052
2053- Don't print an error in fallback_discard, since this just causes
2054 confusion and does not appear to be helping to encourage anyone to
2055 fix this bug.
2056
2057 Changes since 3.0.1rc4
2058
2059- Fix a bug that would cause the DHCP server to spin if asked to parse
2060 a certain kind of incorrect statement.
2061
2062- Fix a related bug that would prevent an error from being reported in
2063 the same case.
2064
2065- Additional documentation.
2066
2067- Make sure that the hardware address matches the lease when
2068 processing a DHCPRELEASE message.
2069
2070 Changes since 3.0.1rc3
2071
2072- A minor bug fix in the arguments to a logging function call.
2073- Documentation update for dhcpd.conf.
2074
adbef119 2075 Changes since 3.0.1rc2
98311e4b
DH
2076
2077- Allow the primary to send a POOLREQ message. This isn't what the current
2078 failover draft says to do, so we may have to back it out if I can't get the
2079 authors to relent, but the scheme for balancing that's specified in the
2080 current draft seems needlessly hairy, so I'm floating a trial balloon.
2081 The rc1 code did not implement the method described in the draft either.
2082
adbef119 2083 Changes since 3.0.1rc1
98311e4b
DH
2084
2085- Treat NXDOMAIN and NXRRSET as success when we are trying to delete a
2086 domain or RRSET. This allows the DHCP server to forget about a name
2087 it added to the DNS once it's been removed, even if the DHCP server
2088 wasn't the one that removed it.
2089
2090- Install defaults for failover maximum outstanding updates and maximum
2091 silent time. This prevents problems that might occur if these values
2092 were not configured.
2093
2094- Don't do DDNS deletes if ddns-update-style is none.
2095
2096- Return relay agent information options in DHCPNAK. This prevents DHCPNAK
2097 messages from being dropped when the relay agent information option contains
2098 routing information.
2099
2100- Fix a problem where coming up in recover wouldn't result in an update
2101 request being sent.
2102
2103- Add some more chatty messages when we start a recovery update and when it's
2104 done.
2105
2106- Fix a possible problem where some state might have been left around
2107 after the peer lost contact and regained contact about how many updates
2108 were pending.
2109
2110- Don't nix a lease update because of a lease conflict. This test has
2111 never (as far as I know) prevented a mistake, and it appears to cause
2112 problems with failover.
2113
2114- Add support in rc history code for keeping a selective history, rather
2115 than a history of all references and dereferences. This code is only used
2116 when extensive additional debugging is enabled.
2117
adbef119 2118 Changes since 3.0
98311e4b
DH
2119
2120- Make allocators for hash tables. As a side effect, this fixes a memory
2121 smash in the subclass allocation code.
2122
2123- Fix a small bug in omshell where if you try to close an object when
2124 no object is open, it dumps core.
2125
2126- Fix an obscure coredump that could occur on shutdown.
2127
2128- Fix a bug in the recording of host declaration rubouts in the lease file.
2129
2130- Fix two potential spins in the host deletion code.
2131
2132- Fix a core dump that would happen if an application tried to update
2133 a host object attribute with a null value.
2134
2135 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 12
2136
2137- Fix a memory leak in the evaluation code.
2138
2139- Fix an obscure core dump.
2140
2141- Print a couple of new warnings when parsing the configuration file
2142 when crucial information is left out.
2143
2144- Log "no free leases" as an error.
2145
2146- Documentation updates.
2147
2148 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 11
2149
2150- Always return a subnet selection option if one is sent.
2151
2152- Fix a warning that was being printed because an automatic data
2153 structure wasn't zeroed.
2154
2155- Fix some failover state transitions that were being handled
2156 incorrectly.
2157
2158- When supersede_lease is called on a lease whose end time has already
2159 expired, but for which a state transition has not yet been done, do
2160 a state transition. This fixes the case where if the secondary
2161 allocated a lease to a client and the lease "expired" while the
2162 secondary was in partner-down, no expiry event would actually
2163 happen, so the lease would remain active until the primary was
2164 restarted.
2165
2166 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 10
2167
2168- Fix a bug that was preventing released leases from changing state
2169 in failover-enabled pools.
2170
2171- Fix a core dump in the client identifier finder code (for host
2172 declarations).
2173
2174- Finish fixing a bug where bogus data would sometimes get logged to
2175 the dhclient.leases file because it was opened as descriptor 2.
2176
2177- Fix the Linux dhclient-script according to suggestions made by
2178 several people on the dhcp-client mailing list.
2179
2180- Log successful DNS updates at LOG_INFO, not LOG_ERROR.
2181
2182- Print an error message and refuse to run if a failover peer is
2183 defined but not referenced by any pools.
2184
2185- Correct a confusing error message in failover.
2186
eaf0b302

TL
2191 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8 Patchlevel 2
2192
2193- Fix a bug that prevented update-static-leases from working.
2194

d758ad8c
TL
2199 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8 Patchlevel 1
2200
2201- Fix a parsing bug that broke dns updates (both interim and ad-hoc).
2202 This was introduced in rc8pl1 as an unintended result of the memory
2203 leakage fixes that were in pl1.
2204
2205- Fix a long-standing bug where the server would record that an update
2206 had been done for a client with no name, even though no update had
2207 been done, and then when the client's lease expired the deletion of
2208 that nonexistant record would time out because the name was the null
2209 string.
2210
2211- Clean up the omshell, dhcpctl and omapi man pages a bit.
2212
d758ad8c
TL
2213 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8
2214
2215- Fix a bug that could cause the DHCP server to spin if
2216 one-lease-per-client was enabled.
2217
2218- Fix a bug that was causing core dumps on BSD/os in the presence of
2219 malformed packets.
2220
2221- In partner-down state, don't restrict lease lengths to MCLT.
2222
2223- On the failover secondary, record the MCLT received from the primary
2224 so that if we come up without a connection to the primary we don't
2225 wind up giving out zero-length leases.
2226
2227- Fix some compilation problems on BSD/os.
2228
2229- Fix a bunch of memory leaks.
2230
2231- Fix a couple of bugs in the option printer.
2232
2233- Fix an obscure error reporting bug in the dns update code, and also
2234 make the message clearer when a key algorithm isn't supported.
2235
2236- Fix a bug in the tracing code that prevented trace runs that used
2237 tcp connections from being played back.
2238
2239- Add some additional debugging capability for catching memory leaks
2240 on exit.
2241
2242- Make the client release the lease correctly on shutdown.
2243
2244- Add some configurability to the build system.
2245
2246- Install omshell manual page in man1, not man8.
2247
2248- Craig Gwydir sent in a patch that fixes a long-standing bug in the
2249 DHCP client that could cause core dumps, but that for some reason
2250 hadn't been noticed until now.
2251
2252 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 7
2253
2254- Fix a bug in failover where we weren't sending updates after a
2255 transition from communications-interrupted to normal.
2256
2257- Handle expired/released/reset -> free transition according to the
2258 protocol specification (this works - the other way not only wasn't
2259 conformant, but also didn't work).
2260
2261- Add a control object in both client and server that allows either
2262 daemon to be shut down cleanly.
2263
2264- When writing a lease, if we run out of disk space, shut down the
2265 output file and insist on writing a new one before proceeding.
2266
2267- In the server, if the OMAPI listener port is occupied, keep trying
2268 to get it, rather than simply giving up and exiting.
2269
2270- Support fetching variables from leases and also updating and adding
2271 variables to leases via OMAPI.
2272
2273- If two failover peers have wildly different clocks, refuse to start
2274 doing failover.
2275
2276- Fix a bug in the DNS update code that could cause core dumps when
2277 running on alpha processors.
2278
2279- Fixed a bug in ddns updates for static lease entries, thanks to a
2280 patch from Andrey M Linkevitch.
2281
2282- Add support for Darwin/MacOS X
2283
2284- Install omshell (including new documentation).
2285
2286- Support DNS updates in the client (this is a very obscure feature
2287 that most DHCP client users probably will not be able to use).
2288
2289- Somewhat cleaner status logging in the client.
2290
2291- Make OMAPI key naming syntax compatible with the way keys are
2292 actually named (key names are domain names).
2293
2294- Fix a bug in the lease file writer.
2295
2296- Install DHCP ISC headers in a different place than BIND 9 ISC
2297 headers, to avoid causing trouble in BIND 9 builds.
2298
2299- Don't send updates for attributes on an object when the attributes
2300 haven't changed. Support deleting attributes on remote objects.

2303 statements.
2304
2305- Handle disconnects in OMAPI a little bit more intelligently (so that
2306 the caller gets ECONNRESET instead of EINVAL).
2307
2308- Fix a bunch of bugs in the handling of clients that have existing
2309 leases when the try to renew their leases while failover is
2310 operating.

2312 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 6
2313
2314- Fix a core dump that could happen when processing a DHCPREQUEST from
2315 a client that had a host declaration that contained both a
2316 fixed-address declaration and a dhcp-client-identifier option
2317 declaration, if the client identifier was longer than nine bytes.
2318
2319- Fix a memory leak that could happen in certain obscure cases when
2320 using omapi to manipulate leases.

2322- Fix some bugs and omissions in omshell.
2323

2327- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that prevented objects in
2328 chains from having their reference counts decreased on dereference.
2329
2330- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that would prevent object
2331 chains from being freed upon removal of the last reference external
2332 to the chain.
2333
2334- Fix a number of other memory leaks in the OMAPI protocol subsystem.
2335

2350 DHCPDECLINE.
2351
2352- Fix failover peer OMAPI support.
2353
2354- In failover, correctly handle expiration of leases. Previously,
2355 leases would never be reclaimed because they couldn't make the
2356 transition from EXPIRED to FREE.
2357
2358- Fix some broken failover state transitions.
2359

2363 stashing code that was preventing REBINDING clients from rebinding.
2364

2366 processing if the lease belongs to the other server.

2373 case-insensitive.
2374

eaf0b302

2410 committed to be consistent with lease binding states rather than
98311e4b 2411 using the lease end time. This may fix some problems with the
892fe689
TL
2412 billing class code.
2413
2414- Fix a bug where lease updates would fail on Digital Unix (and maybe
2415 others) because malloc was called with a size of zero.

2418 trace file.

79ea3de8
TL
2422- Fix the dhcp_failover_put_message to not attempt to allocate a
2423 zero-length buffer. Some versions of malloc() fail if you try to
2424 allocate a zero-length buffer, and this was causing problems on,
2425 e.g., Digital Unix.
2426
2427- Fix a case where the failover code was printing an error message
2428 when no error had occurred.
2429
2430- Fix a problem where when a server went down and back up again, the
2431 peer would not see a state transition and so would stay in the
2432 non-communicating state.
2433
2434- Be smart about going into recover_wait.
2435
2436- Fix a problem in the failover implementation where peers would fail
2437 to come into sync if interrupted in the RECOVER state. This could
2438 have been the cause of some problems people have reported recently.
2439
2440- Fix a problem with billing classes where they would not be unbilled
2441 when the client lease expired.
2442
2443- If select fails, figure out which descriptor is bad, and cut it out
2444 of the I/O loop. This prevents a potentially nasty spin. I
2445 haven't heard any report it in a while, but it came up consistently
2446 in testing.
2447
2448- Fix a bug in the relay agent where if you specified interfaces on
2449 the command line, it would fail.
2450
2451- Fix a couple of small bugs in the omapi connection object (no known
2452 user impact).
2453
2454- Add the missing 3.0 Beta 1 lease conversion script.

2457 they're executable.

2470 Compaq Alpha systems. This patchlevel is not a release candidate
2471 because of this bug. The bug should be straightforward to fix, so
2472 a new release candidate is expected shortly.

2499 checked. This may have been causing core dumps.
2500
2501- When parsing the lease file, if a lease declaration includes a
2502 billing class statement, and the lease already has a billing class,
2503 unbill the old class.
2504
2505- When processing failover transactions, where acks will be deferred,
2506 process the state transition immediately.
2507
2508- Don't try to use the new SIOCGIFCONF buffer size detection code on
2509 Linux 2.0, which doesn't provide this functionality.
2510
2511- Apply a patch suggested by Tuan Uong for a problem in dlpi.c.
2512
2513- Fix a problem in using the which command in the configure script.
2514
2515- Fix a parse error in the client when setting up an omapi listener.
2516
2517- Document the -n and -g flags to the client.
2518
2519- Make sure there is always a stdin and stdout on startup. This
2520 prevents shell scripts from accidentally writing error messages into
2521 configuration files that happen to be opened as stderr.
2522
2523- If an interface is removed, the client will now notice that it is
2524 gone rather than spinning. This has only been tested on NetBSD.
2525
2526- The client will attempt to get an address even if it can't create a
2527 lease file.
2528
2529- Don't overwrite tracefiles.

2549 pl19.

2573
2574- Implement omshell, which can be used to do arbitrary things to the
2575 server (in theory). (Damien Neil)
2576
2577- Fix a case where if a client had two different leases the server could
2578 actually dereference the second one when it hadn't been referenced,
2579 leading to memory corruption and a core dump. (James Brister)
2580
2581- Fix a case where a client could request the address of another client's
2582 lease, but find_lease wouldn't detect that the other client had it, and
2583 would attempt to allocate it to the client, resulting in a lease conflict
2584 message.
2585
2586- Fix a case where a client with more than one client identifier could be
2587 given a lease where the hardware address was correct but the client
2588 identifier was not, resulting in a lease conflict message.
2589
98311e4b 2590- Fix a problem where the server could write out a colon-separated
3350f5b7
TL
2591 hex list as a value for a variable, which would then not parse.
2592 The fix is to always write strings as quoted strings, with any
2593 non-printable characters quoted as octal escape sequences. So
2594 a file written the old way still won't work, but new files written
2595 this way will work.
2596

TL
2597- Fix documentation for sending non-standard options.
2598
2599- Use unparsable names for unknown options. WARNING: this will
2600 break any configuration files that use the option-nnn convention.
2601 If you want to continue to use this convention for some options,
2602 please be sure to write a definition, like this:
2603
2604 option option-nnn code nnn = string;
2605
2606 You can use a descriptive name instead of option-nnn if you like.
2607
2608- Fix a problem where we would see a DHCPDISCOVER/DHCPOFFER/
2609 DHCPREQUEST/DHCPACK/DHCPREQUEST/DHCPNAK sequence. This was the
2610 result of a deceptively silly bug in supersede_lease.
2611

2613 Hermann Lauer.

TL
2625- Add support for transaction tracing. This allows the state of the
2626 DHCP server on startup, and all the subsequent transactions, to be
2627 recorded in a file which can then be played back to reproduce the
2628 behaviour of the DHCP server. This can be used to quickly
2629 reproduce bugs that cause core dumps or corruption, and also for
2630 tracking down memory leaks.
2631
2632- Incorporate some bug fixes provided by Joost Mulders for the DLPI
2633 package which should clear up problems people have been seeing on
2634 Solaris.
2635
2636- Fix bugs in the handling of options stored as linked lists (agent
2637 options, fqdn options and nwip options) that could cause memory
2638 corruption and core dumps.
2639
2640- Fix a bug in DHCPREQUEST handling that resulted in DHCPNAK messages
2641 not being send in some cases when they were needed.
2642

2645- Make initial failover startup *much* faster. This was researched
2646 and implemented by Damien Neil.

2686
2687- Finish fixing a long-standing bug in the agent options code. This
2688 was causing core dumps and failing to operate correctly - in
2689 particular, agent option stashing wasn't working. Agent option
2690 stashing should now be working, meaning that agent options can be
2691 used in class statements to control address allocation.
2692

2699
2700- Fix a compile error on some older operating systems.

2703 transmitting packets to the server. Handy for debugging; not much
2704 practical use otherwise.

2715- Work around the Win98 DHCP client, which NUL-terminates the FQDN
2716 option.

2718- Work around Win98 and Win2k clients that will claim they want to do
2719 the update even when they don't have any way to do it.
2720
2721- Fix some log messages that can be printed when failover is operating
2722 that were not printing enough information.
2723
2724- It was possible for a DHCPDISCOVER to get an allocation even when
2725 the state machine said the server shouldn't be responding.
2726
2727- Don't load balance DHCPREQUESTs from clients in RENEWING and
2728 REBINDING, since in RENEWING, if we heard it, it's for us, and in
2729 REBINDING, the client wouldn't have got to REBINDING if its primary

2743 decoder that would prevent any key with an 'x' in its base64
2744 representation from working correctly.
2745
2746- Thanks to Chris Cheney and Michael Sanders, we have a fix for the
2747 hang that they both spotted in the DHCP server - when
2748 one-lease-per-client was set, the code to release the "other" lease
2749 could spin.
2750
2751- Fix a problem with alignment of the input buffer in bpf in cases
2752 where two packets arrive in the same bpf read.
2753
2754- Fix a problem where the relay agent would crash if you specified an
2755 interface name on the command line.
2756
2757- Add the ability to conditionalize client behaviour based on the
2758 client state.
2759
2760- Add support for the FQDN option, and added support for a new way of
2761 doing ddns updates (ddns update style interim) that allows more than
2762 one DHCP server to update the DNS for the same network(s). This
2763 was implemented by Damien Neil with some additional functionality
2764 added by Ted Lemon.
2765
2766- Damien added a "log" statement, so that the configuration file can
2767 be made to log debugging information and other information.
2768
2769- Fixed a bug that caused option buffers not to be terminated with an
2770 end option.
2771
2772- Fixed a long-standing bug in the support for option spaces where the
2773 options are stored as an ordered list rather than in a hash table,
2774 which could theoretically result in memory pool corruption.
2775
2776- Prevent hardware declarations with no actual hardware address from
2777 being written as something unparsable, and behave correctly in the
2778 face of a null hardware address on input.
2779
2780- Allow key names to be FQDNs, and qualify the algorithm name if it is
2781 specified unqualified.
2782
2783- Modify the DDNS update code so that it never prints the "resolver
2784 failed" message, but instead says *why* the resolver failed.

2787 RFC.

2826- Never select for more than a day, because some implementations of
2827 select will just fail if the timeout is too long (!).
2828
2829- Fix a case where a DHCPDISCOVER from an unknown network would be
2830 silently dropped.
2831
2832- Fix a bug where if a client requested an IP address for which a different
2833 client had the lease, the DHCP server would reallocate it anyway.
2834
2835- Fix the DNS update code so that if the client changes its name, the DNS
2836 will be correctly updated.

2849- Fix a possible DoS attack where a client could cause the checksummer
2850 to dump core. This was a read, not a write, so it shouldn't be
2851 possible to exploit it any further than that.
2852
2853- Implement client- and server-side support for using the Client FQDN
2854 option.
2855
2856- Support for other option spaces in the client has been added. This
2857 means that it is now possible to define a vendor option space on the
2858 client, request options in that space from the server (which must
2859 define the same option space), and then use those options in the
2860 client. This also allows NWIP and Client FQDN options to be used
2861 meaningfully.
2862
2863- Add object initializer support. This means that objects can now be
2864 initialized to something other than all-zeros when allocated, which
2865 makes, e.g., the interface object support code a little more robust.
2866
2867- Fix an off-by-one bug in the host stuffer. This was causing host
2868 deletes not the work, and may also have been causing OMAPI
2869 connections to get dropped. Thanks to James Brister for tracking
2870 this one down!
2871
2872- Fixed a core dump in the interface discovery code that is triggered
2873 when there is no subnet declaration for an interface, but the server
2874 decides to continue running. Thanks to Shane Kerr for tracking
2875 down and fixing this problem.

TL
2879- Fix a bug in the recent enhancement to the interface discovery code
2880 to support arbitrary-length interface lists.
2881
2882- Support NUL-terminated DHCP options when initializing client-script
2883 environment.
2884
2885- Fix suffix operator.
2886
2887- Fix NetWare/IP option parsing.
2888
2889- Better error/status checking in dhcpctl initialization and omapi
2890 connection code.
2891
2892- Fix a potential memory smash in dhcpctl code.
2893
2894- Fix SunOS4 and (maybe) Ultrix builds.
2895
2896- Fix a bug where a certain sort of incoming packet could cause a core
2897 dump on Solaris (and probably elsewhere).
2898
2899- Add some more safety checks in error logging code.
2900
2901- Add support for ISC_R_INCOMPLETE in OMAPI protocol connection code.
2902
2903- Fix relay agent so that if an interface is specified on the command
2904 line, the relay agent does not dump core.
2905
2906- Fix class matching so that match if can be combined with match or
2907 spawn with.
2908
2909- Do not allow spurious leases in the lease database to introduce
2910 potentially bogus leases into the in-memory database.
2911
2912- Fix a byte-order problem in the client hardware address type code
2913 for OMAPI.
2914
2915- Be slightly less picky about what sort of hardware addresses OMAPI
2916 can install in host declarations.

2918 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 4
2919
2920- Incorporated Peter Marschall's proposed change to array/record
2921 parsing, which allows things like the slp-agent option to be encoded
2922 correctly. Thanks very much to Peter for taking the initiative to
2923 do this, and for doing such a careful job of it (e.g., updating the
2924 comments)!
2925
2926- Added an encoding for the slp-agent option. :')

2928- Fixed SunOS 4 build. Thanks to Robert Elz for responding to my
2929 request for help on this with patches!
2930
2931- Incorporated a change that should fix a problem reported by Philippe
2932 Jumelle where when the network connection between two servers is
2933 lost, they never reconnect.
2934
2935- Fix client script files other than that for NetBSD to actually use
2936 make_resolv_conf as documented in the manual page.
2937
2938- Fix a bug in the packet handling code that could result in a core
2939 dump.
2940
2941- Fix a bug in the bootp code where responses on the local net would
2942 be sent to the wrong MAC address. Thanks to Jerry Schave for
2943 catching this one.

2945 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 3
2946
2947- In the DHCP client, execute client statements prior to using the values
45d545f0 2948 of options, so that the client configuration can overridden, e.g., the
490eb5e7
TL
2949 lease renewal time.
2950
2951- Fix a reference counting error that would result in very reproducible
2952 failures in updates, as well as occasional core dumps, if a zone was
2953 declared without a key.
2954
2955- Fix some Linux 2.0 compilation problems.
2956
2957- Fix a bug in scope evaluation during execution of "on" statements that
2958 caused values not to be recorded on leases.
2959
2960- If the dhcp-max-message-size option is specified in scope, and the
2961 client didn't send this option, use the one specified in scope to
2962 determine the maximum size of the response.

2970 RENEWING client.
2971
2972- Fix a place dhcprequest() where static leases could leak.
2973
2974- Include memory.h in omapip_p.h so that we don't get warnings about
2975 using memcmp().

2979- Notice when SIOCFIGCONF returns more data than fit in the buffer -
2980 allocate a larger buffer, and retry. Thanks to Greg Fausak for
2981 pointing this out.
2982
2983- In the server, if no interfaces were configured, report an error and
2984 exit.
2985
2986- Don't ever record a state of 'startup'.
2987
2988- Don't try to evaluate the local failover binding address if none was
2989 specified. Thanks to Joseph Breu for finding this.
