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

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

54
1e08558f
SR
55 Changes since 4.3.4
56
914c567d
FD
57- Fixed util/bindvar.sh error handling.
58 [ISC-Bugs #41973]
1e08558f 59
0b0a1399
SR
60- Correct error message in relay to use remote id length instead
61 of circuit id length.
62 [ISC-Bugs #42556]
63
e105afa1
SR
64- Add support for including an encapsulated option in a response
65 from the DHCPv6 server. This allows the v6 FQDN option to be
66 returned in responses.
67 [ISC-Bugs #29246]
68
4f553fea
TM
69- Add logic to test directory Makefiles to avoid copying Attfile(s)
70 when building within the source tree. This eliminates a noisy but
71 otherwise harmless error message when running "make check".
72 [ISC-Bugs #41883]
73
09dccd03
TM
74- Leases are now scrubbed of certain prior use information when pool
75 re-balancing reassigns them from one FO peer to the other. This
76 corrects an issue where leases that were offered but ignored retained
529a06ed
TM
77 the client hostname from the original client. Thanks to Pavel Polacek,
78 Jan Evangelista Purkyne University for reporting the issue.
09dccd03
TM
79 [ISC-Bugs #42008]
80
eb2d84b6
SR
81- In the LDAP code and schema add some missing '6' characters to use
82 the v6 instead of the v4 versions. Thanks to Denis Taranushin for
83 reporting this issue and supplying its patch.
84 [ISC-Bugs #42666]
85
76a7db2c
SR
86- Correct how the pick-first-value expression is written to a lease
87 file. Previously it was written as a concat expression due to
88 a cut and paste error.
89 [ISC-Bugs #42253]
90
ad06e7ba
SR
91- Modify the DDNS code to clean up the PTR record even if there
92 are issues while cleaning up the A or AAAA records.
93 [ISC-Bugs #23954]
94
a5252220
TM
95- Added global configuration parameter, abandon-lease-time, which determines
96 the amount of time a lease remains abandoned. The default is 84600 seconds.
97 Additionaly, the server now conducts a ping check (if ping checks are
98 enabled) prior to offering an abandoned lease to client.
99 [ISC-Bugs #41815]
100
b7bfb2c7
TM
101- Correct handling of interface names during interface discovery. This
102 addresses an issue where interface names of 15 characters in length
103 could lead to crashes or interface recognition errors during startup
104 of dhcpd, dhclient, and dhcrelay.
105 [ISC-Bugs #42226]
106
841d9a18
SR
107- Updates to contrib/dhcp-lease-list.pl to make it more friendly.
108 They are looking for the lease file in more places and skipping
109 the "processing complete" output when creating machine readable
110 output.
111 [ISC-Bugs #42113]
112
3abc5708
SR
113- When reusing a lease for dhcp-cache-threshold return the hostname
114 to the original lease. Also if the host pointer, UID or hardware address
115 change don't allow reuse of the lease.
2427d9e7
SR
116 Thanks to Michael Vincent for reporting this and helping us
117 verify the problem and fix.
3abc5708
SR
118 [ISC-Bugs #42849]
119
10b7683e
SR
120- Change dmalloc to use a size_t as the length argument to bring it
121 in line with the call it will make to malloc().
122 [ISC-Bugs #40843]
123
33dca28a
TM
124 Changes since 4.3.4b1
125
126- None
127
7da1ac2b
TM
128 Changes since 4.3.3
129
555093da
TM
130- Corrected a static analyzer warning in common/execute.c
131 [ISC-Bugs #40374]
e82906fc 132
555093da
TM
133- ISC DHCP now follows the common convention to use the base name a
134 program is invoked with (aka argv[0], vs. a builtin name) for
cb0d7e7c 135 logs. This should help differentiate syslog entries for DHCPv4 and
555093da
TM
136 DHCPv6 servers. You can define OLD_LOG_NAME in includes/site.h to
137 keep the previous behavior.
138 [ISC-Bugs #38692]
20931f53 139
26de50fb 140- The Linux packet filter code now correctly treats only the least significant
c808603e 141 12 bits in an inbound packet's TCI value as the VLAN id (per IEEE 802.1Q).
555093da
TM
142 Prior to this it was using the entire 16 bit value as the VLAN id and
143 incorrectly discarding packets. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for
144 reporting this issue and supplying its patch.
145 [ISC-Bugs #40591]
5cc6f201 146
c808603e 147- Fixed several static analysis issues such as potential null
e8e6768a
TM
148 references, unchecked strdup returns. Thanks to Bill Parker (wp02855 at
149 gmail dot com) who identified these issues and supplied patches to
150 address them.
88c3ff5d 151 [ISC-Bugs #40754]
e8e6768a 152 [ISC-Bugs #40823]
88c3ff5d 153
555093da
TM
154- Corrected compilation errors that prohibited building the server
155 and its ATF unit tests when failover is disabled.
156 [ISC-Bugs #40372]
f10cbbfa 157
555093da
TM
158- Added the lease address to the end of the debug level log message
159 emitted when an existing lease is renewed within the dhcp-cache-threshold.
160 Thanks to Nathan Neulinger at Missouri S&T for suggesting the change.
161 [ISC-Bugs #40598]
5fc79cfd 162
555093da
TM
163- Added dhcpv6 and delayed-ack to settings listed in the "Features:"
164 section of the configure script output. Additionally, all of the
165 features reported on will now always show either a "yes" or "no"
166 value. Prior to this features left to their default setting would
167 not show a value.
168 [ISC-Bugs #40381]
169
170- Added a parameter, authoring-byte-order, to the lease file. This value
171 is automatically added to the top of new lease files by the server and
172 indicates the internal byte order (big endian or little endian) of the
173 server. This permits lease files generated on a server with one form of
174 byte order to be used on a server with the opposite form. Our thanks to
175 Timothe Litt for calling this to our attention and for the suggestions
176 he provided.
177 [ISC-Bugs #38396]
646acb59 178
d1d1da8f 179- Fixed a small memory leak in the DHCPv6 version of the client code.
18ba0ff3
SR
180 This is unlikely to cause significant issues in actual use.
181 [ISC-Bugs #40990]
182
ce29e695
TM
183- Corrected a few minor memory leaks in omapi's dereferencing of
184 host objects. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for reporting
185 the issue and supplying the patches.
186 [ISC-Bugs #33990]
75ab52e1 187 [ISC-Bugs #41325]
ce29e695 188
d1d1da8f
FD
189- Cleaned up some of the Make infrastructure to make --with-libbind
190 work better. Though it still only works with an absolute path.
191 [ISC-Bugs #39210]
192
193- Made the embedded bind libraries able to be cross compiled
194 (please refer to the bind9 documentation to learn how to cross
195 compile DHCP and its bind library dependency).
196 [ISC-Bugs #38836]
197
c88dfebd
SR
198- Update the client code to better support getting IA_NAs and IA_PDs
199 in the same packet, see RFC7550 for some discussion.
200 [ISC-Bugs #40190]
201
08ad1e3c 202! Update the bounds checking when receiving a packet.
4ce21cb6
SR
203 Thanks to Sebastian Poehn from Sophos for the bug report and a suggested
204 patch.
205 [ISC-Bugs #41267]
825c459c 206 CVE: CVE-2015-8605
4ce21cb6 207
b2cb745b
SR
208- When handling an incorrect command line for dhcpd, dhclient or dhcrelay
209 print out a specific error message about the first error in addition
210 to the usage string. This may be disabled by editing includes/site.h.
211 [ISC-Bugs #40321]
eda1d0aa 212 [ISC-Bugs #41454]
b2cb745b 213
cacce092
TM
214- The configure script will now exit with an error message if it cannot find
215 a GNU-style make tool (needed when building BIND libraries) or pkg-config
216 (needed to locate ATF used for building unit tests). Prior to this the
217 script would exit indicating success causing subsequent attempts to build
218 the software to fail.
219 [ISC-Bugs #40371]
220
4ced250f 221- Properly terminate strings before passing them to regex and fix
c808603e 222 a boundary error when creating certain new data strings.
4ced250f
SR
223 Thanks to Andrey Jr. Melnikov for the bug report.
224 [ISC-Bugs #41217]
225
a3471269
TM
226- Option expressions, such as prepend and append, are now supported when
227 running dhclient for IPv6. Prior to this such statements in the
228 client configuration file would be parsed but have no affect. Thanks
229 to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for reporting the issue.
230 [ISC-Bugs #39952]
231
3e3b5257
TM
232- A failover primary server will now accept a binding status update from the
233 secondary which transitions a lease from ACTIVE to ABANDONED. This accounts
234 for instances in which a client declines a lease and only the secondary
235 server receives it. Prior to this the primary server would reject such an
236 update as an "invalid state transition".
fd1ba363 237 [ISC_BUGS #25189]
3e3b5257 238
ba4c704d
SR
239- Properly allocate memory for a bpf filter.
240 Thanks to Bill Parker (wp02855 at gmail dot com) who identified this issue.
241 [ISC-Bugs #41485]
242
b1eea858
SR
243- Updated contrib/dhcp-lease-list.pl to handle garbage in the oui file better
244 and to print out the hostnames a bit better.
0958dea4 245 Thanks to Antoine Beaupré from Debian for the suggested patch.
b1eea858
SR
246 [ISC-Bugs #41288]
247
36c4a037
SR
248- The DHCPv6 server now handles long valid and preferred lease times better.
249 Values that would cause the internal end time of the lease to wrap are
250 modified to work as infinite.
251 [ISC-Bugs #40773]
252
41b5a1a6
FD
253- Updated support for cross compiling by allowing the library archiver
254 to be set at configure time via the environment variable 'AR'.
255 [ISC-Bugs #41536]
256
62a9eb91
TM
257- The server will now match DHCPv6 relayed clients to host declarations
258 which include the "hardware" statement, if the relay connected to the
259 client supplies the client's hardware address via client-linklayer-address
260 option as per RFC 6939.
261 [ISC-Bugs #40334]
262
b7311aae
FD
263- Allow a filename to be specified instead of /dev/random during
264 configuration. This is passed to the BIND configuration to allow
265 for cross compilation.
266 [ISC-Bugs #33835]
267
1bfdeaae
SR
268- Add more option definitions.
269 [ISC-Bugs #40562]
270
1d3fc4d0
SR
271- Correct outputting of long lines in the lease file when writing
272 a lease that includes long strings in an execute statement.
273 [ISC-Bugs #40994]
274
68b5d395
TM
275- The server will now correctly treat a lease as reserved when the client
276 requests an infinite lease time (i.e. OxFFFFFFFF) and "infinite-is-reserved"
277 is enabled. Prior to this the server would halt. In addition, corrections
278 were made to the server to allow a lease's flags field to be set via omapi.
279 Prior to this, the server, depending on the host architecture, would
280 incorrectly parse the new flags value from the omapi message.
281 [ISC-Bugs #31179]
282
f704712e
FD
283- ISC DHCP can now be configured and built from a directory other than
284 the top level source directory. Note that "make distcheck" uses this
285 feature.
286 [ISC-Bugs #39262]
287
6e7e6637 288- Add support for RFC 3527 to dhcrelay. A new, dhcrelay command line argument,
b12e0ca9 289 "-U <interface>" enables the addition of a RFC 3527 compliant link selection
6e7e6637
TM
290 suboption to the agent option added for clients directly connected to the
291 relay.
292 [ISC-Bugs #34875]
cbef159e 293 [ISC-Bugs #41708]
6e7e6637 294
dce576b8
TM
295- Add a new global DHCPv6 option, dhcpv6-set-tee-times, which when enabled
296 instructs the server to calculate T1 and T2 as recommended in RFC 3315,
297 Section 22.4.
298 [ISC-Bugs #25687]
299
45086eef
TM
300- Corrected minor Coverity issues.
301 [ISC-Bugs #35144]
302
785c1a51
FD
303- Add support for RFC 7341 DHCPv4 over DHCPv6 with a new configuration
304 option "--enable-dhcpv4o6". Note this feature requires DHCPv6 support
305 and is not compatible with delayed-ack. Both client and server use 2
306 processes which communicate over UDP on a pair of sockets. The new
cb0d7e7c 307 "-4o6 <port>" command line argument enables DHCPv4 over DHCPv6 support
785c1a51
FD
308 and specifies the consecutive ports to use for inter-process communication.
309 Please look at doc/DHCPv4-over-DHCPv6 for more details.
310 [ISC-Bugs #35711]
311
cc1bd34e 312- Correct interface name formation when using DLPI under Solaris 11. As of
0f1a34e9
TM
313 Solaris 11, ethernet device files are located in "/dev/net". The configure
314 script has been modified to detect this situation and adjust the directory
9b2e9347
TM
315 used accordingly. Thanks to Jarkko Torppa for reporting this issue and
316 submitting a patch
0f1a34e9 317 [ISC-Bugs #37954]
fca944db 318 [ISC-Bugs #40752]
0f1a34e9 319
84ee63a0
SR
320- Add a dereference call when handling an error condition while
321 decoding a packet.
322 [ISC-Bugs #41774]
323
cc1bd34e
TM
324- Add a new parameter, lease-id-format, to both dhcpd and dhclient. The
325 parameter controls the format in which certain values are written to lease
326 files. Formats supported are octal - quoted string containing octal
34a09be0
TM
327 escapes, and hex - unquoted, colon separated hex digits. Thanks to
328 Jay Ford, University of Iowa for bringing the issue to our attention.
29d1b58f 329 [ISC-Bugs #26378]
cc1bd34e 330
0b209ea5
SR
331! Add an option in site.h to limit the number of failover and control
332 connections the server will accept. By default this is 200.
333 [ISC-Bugs #41845]
670599ac 334 CVE: CVE-2016-2774
0b209ea5 335
7da1ac2b 336 Changes since 4.3.3b1
ba4c704d 337
5fc79cfd
TM
338- None
339
b31fe1d5
TM
340 Changes since 4.3.2
341
bc549dd9
SR
342- The server now does a better check to see if it can allocate the memory
343 for large blocks of v4 leases and should provide a slightly better error
344 message. Note well: the server pre-allocates v4 addresses, if you use
345 a large range, such as a /8, the server will attempt to use a large
346 amount of memory and may not start if there either isn't enough memory
347 or the size exceeds what the code supports.
348 [ISC-Bugs #38637]
349
b31fe1d5
TM
350- The server will now reject unicast Request, Renew, Decline, and Release
351 messages from a client unless the server would have sent that client the
352 dhcp6.unicast option. This behavior is in compliance with paragraph 1 in
353 each of the sections 18.2,1, 18.2.3, 18.2.6, and 18.2.7 of RFC 3315. Prior
354 to this, the server would simply accept the messages. Now, in order for
355 the server to accept such a message, the server configuration must include
356 the dhcp6.unicast option either globally or within the shared network to
357 which the requested lease belongs. In other words, the server will map
358 the first IA_XX address found within the client message to a shared-network
359 and look for the presence of the unicast option there and then globally.
ba21bb1b
TM
360 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for this issue and his patch which
361 inspired the fix.
b31fe1d5 362 [ISC-Bugs #21235]
c2419dca 363
20c0fdc7
SR
364- The ATF (Automated Testing Framework) tools used for optional unit tests
365 can now be built from its embedded sources in bind, solving the
366 atf-run / atf-report issue with recent (>= 0.20) versions of ATF.
367 The new configuration option is "./configure --with-atf=bind".
1b245c91 368 [ISC-Bugs #38754, #39300]
20c0fdc7 369
1c0b7d66
SR
370- Corrected a compilation error introduced by the fix for ISC-Bugs #22806.
371 On older linuxes that do not include the tpacket_auxdata structure don't
372 bother allocating the cmsgbuf as it isn't necessary and we don't have
373 a proper length for it.
374 [ISC-Bugs #39209]
375
da88d34b
SR
376- Remove the dst directory. This was replaced in 4.2.0 with the dst
377 code from the Bind libraries but we continued to include it for
378 backwards compatibility. As we have now released 4.3.x it seems
379 reasonable to remove it.
380 [ISC-Buts #39019]
381
90a062fb 382- Write out the DUID server id on startup in all cases, previously if it
cacce092 383 was read in from server-duid option in the config or lease files for
90a062fb
SR
384 DHCPv4 it would not be written to the new lease file.
385 [ISC-Bugs #37791]
386
90fdd337
SR
387- When parsing dates for leases convert dates past 2038 to "never".
388 This avoids problems with integer overflows in the date and time
389 handling code for people that decide to use very large lease times
390 or add a lease entry with a date far in the future.
391 [ISC-Bugs #33056]
392
70689a73
SR
393- Leave the siaddr field clear when sending a NACK as per RFC 2131
394 table 3.
395 [ISC-Bugs #38769]
396
30dcfbf6
SR
397- In the client don't send expired addresses to the script as part of
398 the binding process. Thanks to Sven Trenkel at Google for reporting
399 the issue and suggesting the patch.
400 [ISC-Bugs #38631]
401
4136513e
SR
402- While parsing IPv6 addresses treat "add" as part of the address instead
403 of as a token.
404 [ISC-Bugs #39529]
405
3933e2aa
SR
406- Add support for accessing the v4 lease queues (active, free etc) in a
407 binary fashion instead of needing to walk through a linear list to
408 insert, find or remove an entry from the queues. In addition add a
409 compile time option "--enable-binary-leases" to enable the new code
410 or to continue using the old code. The old code is the default.
411 Thanks to Fernando Soto from BlueCat Networks for the patch.

cca6a648 414- Delayed-ack now works properly with Failover. Prior to this, bind updates
415 post startup were being queued but never delivered. Among other things, this
416 was causing leases to not transition from expired or released to free.

428- Corrected an issue in v6 lease file parsing. Prior to this, when encountering
429 a lease with an address for which no configured pool exists, the server was
430 declaring the lease file corrupt and incorrectly skipping over the subsequent
431 entry in the file. The server will now emit a log message indicating that
432 no pool was found for the address (or prefix) and correctly resume parsing
cacce092 433 with the next entry in the lease file. Our thanks to Michal Žejdl for
673137b1 434 reporting the issue.

SR
437- Be more liberal in finding a subnet group associated with a static
438 prefix. When we added the class matching code for v6 we also added
439 a requirement that the static prefix must be within a subnet the
440 client was in, in order to find the proper statements. We now
441 look for a subnet based on the prefix, failing that on the static
442 address for the client and failing that on the shared network
443 itself.

SR
456- Relax the requirement that prefix pools must be within the subnet.
457 This was added in as part of #32453 in order to avoid configuration
458 mistakes but is being removed as prefixes aren't required to be
459 within the same subnet and many people configure them in that fashion.

TM
518- Unit test execution now uses a path augmented during configuration
519 processing of the --with-atf option to locate ATF runtime tools, atf-run
520 and atf-report. For most installations of ATF, this should alleviate the
521 need to manually include them in the PATH, as was formerly required.
522 If the configure script cannot locate the tools it will emit a warning,
523 informing the user that the tools must be in the PATH when running unit
524 tests.
525 Secondly, please note that "make check" will now exit with a failure status
526 code (non-zero) if one or more unit tests fail. This means that invoking
527 "make check" from an upper level directory will cause the make process to
528 STOP after the first test subdirectory with failed test(s). To force all
529 tests in all subdirectories to run, regardless of individual test outcome,
530 use the command "make -k check".

599 The server now supports RFC 6842 compliant behavior by setting a new
600 configuration parameter, echo-client-id. When enabled, the server will
601 include the client identifier option (Option code 61) if received, in its
602 responses. The server identifier returned in NAKs (if enabled) will now
603 be the globally defined value (if one) if the server cannot attribute the
604 inbound request to a known subnet.

620 the primary to accept the secondary moving from POTENTIAL-CONFLICT to
621 RESOLUTION-INTERRUPTED as well as handling the bind update process better.
622 In addition the code to resend update or update all requests has been
623 modified to send requests more often.

d9b2a590
TM
627- By default, the server will now choose the value to use in the forward DNS
628 name from the following in order of preference:
629
630 1. FQDN option if provided by the client
631 2. Host name option if provided by the client
632 3. Configured option host-name if defined
633
634 As before, this may be overridden by defining ddns-hostname to the desired
635 value (or expression). In addition, the server logic has been extended to
636 use the value of the host name declaration if use-host-decl-names is enabled
637 and no other value is available.

648 server, when either of the values being combined contain compressed
649 components.
650 [ISC-Bugs #20558]
651
7116a34f
TM
652- Added the server-id-check parameter to the server configuration.
653 This parameter allows run-time control over whether or not a server,
654 participating in failover, verifies the dhcp-server-identifier option in
ebb1d91e 655 DHCP REQUESTs against the server's id before processing the request.
7116a34f
TM
656 Formerly, enabling this behavior was done at compilation time through
657 the use of the #define, SERVER_ID_CHECK, which has been removed from site.h
adb95d23 658 The functionality is now only available through the new runtime parameter.
7116a34f
TM
659 [ISC-Bugs #37551]
660
2775bd62
TM
661- During startup, when the server encounters a lease whose binding state is
662 FTS_BACKUP but whose pool has no configured failover peer, it will reset the
663 lease's binding state to FTS_FREE. This allows the leases to be reclaimed
664 by the server after a pool's configuration has changed from failover to
665 standalone. Prior to this such leases would remain stuck in the backup state
666 making them unavailable for assignment. Note this conversion will occur
667 whether or not the server is compiled for failover.

acbecb2e

698 seen only by the VLAN interface. Prior to this, such packets were seen by

707- Log content has been changed to more directly suggest that admins should
708 check for multiple IPv6 clients attempting to use the same DUID when only
709 abandoned addresses are available. Debug level logging will now emit counts
710 of the total number of, in-use, and abandoned addresses in a shared subnet
711 when the server finds no addresses available for a given DUID. Lastly,
712 threshold logging is now automatically disabled for shared subnets whose
713 total number of possible addresses exceeds (2^64)-1.

1a006ff6
TM
717- Added a global parameter, prefix-length-mode, which may be used to determine
718 how the server uses a non-zero value for prefix-length supplied by clients
719 when soliciting DHCPv6 prefixes. The server supports selection modes of:
720 ignore, prefer, exact, minimum and maximum which are described in detail in
721 the server man pages. The prior behavior of the server was to only offer a
722 prefix whose length exactly matched the prefix-length value requested. If
723 no such prefixes were available, the server returned a status of none
724 available. Note the default mode, "exact", provides this same behavior.

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

836- Add a #define to specify the prefix length used when a client attempts
837 to configure an address. This can be modified by editing includes/site.h.
838 By default it is set to 64. While 128 might be a better choice it would
839 also be a change for currently running systems, so we have left it at 64.

SR
842- Add a run time option to the client "-df" to allow the administrator to
843 point to a second lease file the client can search for a DUID. This can
844 be used to allow a v4 and a v6 instance of the client to share a DUID.
845 The second file will only be searched if there isn't a DUID in the main
846 lease file and the DUID will be written out to the main lease file.

6980ae03 898 Changes since 4.2.0 (new features)
51b8a8a0
SR
899
900- If a client renews before 'dhcp-cache-threshold' percent of its lease
901 has elapsed (default 25%), the server will reuse the allocated lease
902 (provide a lease within the currently allocated lease-time) rather
903 than extend or renew the lease. This absolves the server of needing
904 to perform an fsync() operation on the lease database before reply,
905 which improves performance. [ISC-Bugs #22228]
80778e94 906 Updated this patch to support asynchronous DDNS. If the server is
adb95d23 907 attempting to do DDNS on a lease it should be updated and written to
4809ef5c 908 disk even if that wouldn't be necessary due to the thresholding.
8cd88e20 909 [ISC-Bugs #26311]
51b8a8a0 910

911- The 'no available billing' log line now also logs the name of the last
912 matching billing class tried before failing to provide a billing.
913 [ISC-Bugs #21759]
914
32e651c4
SR
915- A problem with missing get_hw_addr function when --enable-use-sockets
916 was used is now solved on GNU/Linux, BSD and GNU/Hurd systems. Note
917 that use-sockets feature was not tested on those systems. Client and
918 server code no longer use MAX_PATH constant that is not defined on
3cb6f9bb 919 GNU/Hurd systems. [ISC-Bugs #25979]
32e651c4 920
67418698
SR
921- Add a perl script in the contrib directory, dhcp-lease-list.pl, which
922 can parse v4 lease files and output the lease information in a more
923 human friendly manner. This was written by Christian Hammers with
924 some updates by vom and ISC. This is contributed code and is not
925 supported by ISC; however it may be useful to some users.
926 [ISC-Bugs #20680]
927

933
d7d9c0c7
SR
934- Update the DDNS code to current standards and allow for sharing
935 of DDNS entries between v4 and v6 clients. The new code is used
936 if the ddns-update-style is set to "standard", the older code is
937 still available if ddns-update-style is set to "interim". The
938 oldest DDNS code "ad-hoc" has been removed. Thanks to Thomas Pegeot
939 who submitted a patch for this issue. This patch is based on
940 that work with some modifications.
64fb661c 941 [ISC-Bugs #21139]
1534fff7 942
cde11a4c
SR
943- Add a configuration option to the server to suppress using fsync().
944 Enabling this option will mean that fsync() is never called. This
945 may provide better performance but there is also a risk that a lease
946 will not be properly written to the disk after it has been issued
947 to a client and before the server stops. Using this option is
948 not recommended.
64fb661c 949 [ISC-Bugs #34810]
cde11a4c 950
f88446f1
SR
951- Add some logging statements to indicate when the server is ready
952 to serve. One statement is emitted after the server has finished
953 reading its files and is about to enter the dispatch loop.
954 This is "Server starting service.".
955 The second is emitted when a server determines that both it and
956 its failover peer are in the normal state.
957 This is "failover peer <name>: Both servers normal."

619304cd
SR
960- Add support for accessing options from v6 relays. The v6relay
961 statement allows the administrator to choose which relay to
962 use when searching for an option, see the dhcp-options man page
6b9c9f87
SR
963 for a description. The host-identifier option has also been
964 updated to support the use of relay options, see the dhcpd.conf
619304cd
SR
965 man page for a description.

967
e54ff84f 968- When doing DDNS if there isn't an appropriate zone statement attempt
80778e94 969 to find a reasonable nameserver via a DNS resolver. This restores
e54ff84f
SR
970 some functionality that was lost in the transition to asynchronous
971 DDNS. Due to the lack of security and increase in fragility of the
972 system when using this feature we strongly recommend the use of
973 appropriate zone statements rather than using this functionality.
974 [ISC-Bugs #30461]
975
61ef216b
SR
976- Add support for specifying the address from which to send
977 DDNS updates on the DHCP server. There are two new options
978 "ddns-local-address4" and "ddns-local-address6" that each take
979 one instance of their respective address types.
980 [ISC-Bugs #34779]
4d079f0e 981
38ee81bd
SR
982- Add ignore-client-uids option in the server. This option causes
983 the server to not record a client's uid in its lease. This
984 violates the specification but may also be useful when a client
985 can dual boot using different client ids but the same mac address.

7dc4e69c 1015
01a44a77
SR
1016- An optimization described in the failover protocol draft is now included,
1017 which permits a DHCP server operating in communications-interrupted state
1018 to 'rewind' a lease to the state most recently transmitted to its peer,
1019 greatly increasing a server's endurance in communications-interrupted.
1020 This is supported using a new 'rewind state' record on the dhcpd.leases
1021 entry for each lease.
c5bc8b1a 1022
01a44a77 1023- Fix the trace code which was broken by the changes to the DDNS code.
d0a10f6a 1024
01a44a77
SR
1025- Update the fsync code to work with the changes to the DDNS code. It now
1026 uses a timer instead of noticing if there are no more packets to process.
dc9d7b08 1027
01a44a77
SR
1028- When constructing the DNS name structure from a text string append
1029 the root to relative names. This satisfies a requirement in the DNS
1030 library that names be absolute instead of relative and prevents DHCP
1031 from crashing. [ISC-Bugs #21054]
a24b9f23 1032
01a44a77
SR
1033- "The LDAP Patch" that has been circulating for some time, written by
1034 Brian Masney and S.Kalyanasundraram and maintained for application to
1035 the DHCP-4 sources by David Cantrell has been included. Please be
1036 advised that these sources were contributed, and do not yet meet the
1037 high standards we place on production sources we include by default.
1038 As a result, the LDAP features are only included by using a compile-time
1039 option which defaults off, and if you enable it you do so under your
1040 own recognizance. We will be improving this software over time.
1041 [ISC-Bugs #17741]

SR
1046! Accept a client id of length 0 while hashing. Previously the server would
1047 exit if it attempted to hash a zero length client id, providing attackers

08b2d347 1052
01a44a77
SR
1053- Modify the exception handling for initial context creation. Previously
1054 we would try and clean up before exiting. This could present problems
1055 when the cleanup required part of the context that wasn't available. It
1056 also didn't do much as we exited afterwards anyway. Now we simply log
1057 the error and exit. [ISC-Bugs #21093]
ad4001ce 1058
01a44a77
SR
1059- A bug was fixed that could cause the DHCPv6 server to advertise/assign a
1060 previously allocated (active) lease to a client that has changed subnets,
1061 despite being on different shared networks. Dynamic prefixes specifically
1062 allocated in shared networks also now are not offered if the client has
1063 moved. [ISC-Bugs #21152]
3cb6f9bb 1064

4b8251a0 1069
01a44a77
SR
1070- Modify the determination of the default TTL to use for DDNS updates.
1071 The user may still configure the ttl via ddns-ttl. The default for
1072 both v4 and v6 is now 1/2 the (preferred) lease time with a limit. The
1073 previous defaults (1/2 lease time without a limit for v4 and a default
1074 value for v6) may be used by defining USE_OLD_DDNS_TTL in site.h

1542! Previously the server code was relaxed to allow packets with zero
1543 length client ids to be processed. Under some situations use of
1544 zero length client ids can cause the server to go into an infinite
1545 loop. As such ids are not valid according to RFC 2132 section 9.14
1546 the server no longer accepts them. Client ids with a length of 1
1547 are also invalid but the server still accepts them in order to
1548 minimize disruption. The restriction will likely be tightened in
1549 the future to disallow ids with a length of 1.

1585- Relax the requirements for deleting an A or AAAA record.
1586 Previously the DDNS removal code required both the A or AAAA
1587 record and the TXT record to exist. This requirement could
1588 cause problems if something interrupted the removal leaving
1589 the TXT record alone. This relaxation was codified in RFC 4703.

1598- Add a configure option, enable-secs-byteorder, to deal with
1599 clients that do the byte ordering on the secs field incorrectly.
1600 This field should be in network byte order but some clients
1601 get it wrong. When this option is enabled the server will examine
1602 the secs field and if it looks wrong (high byte non zero and low
1603 byte zero) swap the bytes. The default is disabled. This option
1604 is only useful when doing load balancing within failover.

DH
1725- A new failover configuration parameter has been introduced for those
1726 environments where DHCP servers can be reasonably guaranteed to be
1727 "down" when the failover TCP socket is severed, "auto-partner-down".
1728 This parameter is not generally safe, and by default is disabled, so
1729 please carefully review the documentation of this parameter in the
1730 dhcpd.conf(5) manpage before determining to use it yourself.
1731
33ea4622
DH
1732- Added a configuration function, 'gethostname()', which calls the system
1733 function of the same name and presents the results as a data expression.
1734 This function can be used to incorporate the system level hostname of
1735 the system the DHCP software is operating on in responses or queries (such
1736 as including a failover partner's hostname in a dhcp message or binding
1737 scope, or having a DHCP client send any system hostname in the host-name or
1738 FQDN options by default).
1739
5a671e87
DH
1740- The dhcp-renewal-time and dhcp-rebinding-time options may now be configured
1741 for DHCPv4 operation and used independently of the dhcp-lease-time
1742 calculations. Invalid renew and rebinding times (e.g., greater than the
1743 determined lease time) are omitted.
1744
adb95d23 1745- Processing the DHCP to DNS server transactions in an asynchronous fashion,
45adf35c 1746 the DHCP server or client can now continue with its processing while
98bf1607 1747 awaiting replies from the DNS server.
c900c5b2

47e6eb82
DH
1759- The notorious 'option <unknown> ... larger than buffer' log line,
1760 which is seen in some malformed DHCP client packets, was modified.
1761 It now logs the universe name, and does not log the length values
1762 (which are bogus corruption read from the packet anyway). It also
1763 carries a hopefully more useful explanation.
1764
159c89d7
EH
1765- Suppress spurious warnings from configure about --datarootdir
1766
1aa0fe5e

1768 and Request packets, if the dynamic range covering any requested addresses
1769 had been deleted from configuration.

cd51403d
SR
1771- Update the code to deal with GCC 4.3. This included two sets of changes.
1772 The first is to the configuration files to include the use of

1779 free not on its queue' error messages, thanks to a patch from Frode
1780 Nordahl.

1782- Fix a build error in dhcrelay, using older versions of gcc with
1783 dhcpv6 disabled.

1788- Fixed a cosmetic bug where pretty-printing valid domain-search options would
1789 result in an erroneous error log message ('garbage in format string').
1790
f9453d21
DH
1791- A bug in DLPI packet transmission (Solaris, HP/UX) that caused the server
1792 to stop receiving packets is fixed. The same fix also means that the MAC
1793 address will no longer appear 'bogus' on DLPI-based systems.
1794
1795- A bug in select handling was discovered where the results of one select()
1796 call were discarded, causing the server to process the next select() call
1797 and use more system calls than required. This has been repaired - the
1798 sockets will be handled after the first return from select(), resulting in
1799 fewer system calls.
1800
a3dcc0b1
DH
1801- The update-conflict-detection feature would leave an FQDN updated without
1802 a DHCID (still currently implemented as a TXT RR). This would cause later
1803 expiration or release events to fail to remove the domain name. The feature
1804 now also inserts the client's up to date DHCID record, so records may safely
1805 be removed at expiration or release time. Thanks to a patch submitted by
1806 Christof Chen.
1807
95fd7038
DH
1808- Memory leak in the load_balance_mine() function is fixed. This would
1809 leak ~20-30 octets per DHCPDISCOVER packet while failover was in use
1810 and in normal state.
1811
1812- Various compilation fixes have been included for the memory related
1813 DEBUG #defines in includes/site.h.
1814
8a3c1e33
PS
1815- Fixed Linux client script 'unary operator expected' errors with DHCPv6.
1816

1818 to be double-quoted. Also allow server-provided hostname to
1819 override hostnames 'localhost' and '(none)'.

DH
1821- Fixed failover reconnection retry code to continue to retry to reconnect
1822 rather than restarting the listener.

DH
1824- Compilation on Solaris with USE_SOCKETS defined in includes/site.h has
1825 been repaired. Other USE_ overrides should work better.
1826
1827- A check for the local flavor of IFNAMSIZ had a broken 'else' condition,
1828 that probably still resulted in the correct behaviour (but wouldn't use
1829 a larger defined value provided by the host OS).
1830
350576c5
DH
1831- Fixed a bug where an OMAPI socket disconnection message would not result
1832 in scheduling a failover reconnection, if the link had not negotiated a
1833 failover connect yet (e.g.: connection refused, asynch socket connect()
1834 timeouts).

DH
1839! A stack overflow vulnerability was fixed in dhclient that could allow
1840 remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands as root on the system,
1841 or simply terminate the client, by providing an over-long subnet-mask
1b12d999 1842 option. CERT VU#410676 - CVE-2009-0692

1849 last option definition is used.

DH
1858- Secondary servers in a failover pair will now perform ddns removals if
1859 they had performed ddns updates on a lease that is expiring, or was
1860 released through the primary. As part of the same fix, stale binding scopes
1861 will now be removed if a change in identity of a lease's active client is
1862 detected, rather than simply if a lease is noticed to have expired (which it
1863 may have expired without a failover server noticing in some situations).
1864
583c1c16
DH
1865- A patch supplied by David Cantrell at RedHat was applied that detects
1866 invalid calling parameters given to the ns_name_ntop() function.
1867 Specifically, it detects if the caller passed a pointer and size pair
1868 that causes the pointer to integer-wrap past zero.
1869

1874 the existence of the linked signal handler before calling it.
1875
2267da84
DH
1876- Both host and subnet6 configuration groups are now included whether a
1877 fixed-address6 (DHCPv6) is in use or not. Host scoped configuration takes
1878 precedence. This fixes two bugs, one where host scoped configuration
1879 would not be included from a non-fixed-address6 host record, and the equal
1880 and opposite bug where subnet6 scoped configuration would not be used when
571c38b0 1881 over-riding values were not present in a matching fixed-address6 host
2267da84

1882 configuration.

1884- ./configure now checks to ensure the intX_t and u_intX_t types are defined,
1885 correcting a compilation failure when using Sun's compiler.
1886
0493fdca
SR
1887- Modified the handling of a connection to avoid releasing the omapi io
1888 object for the connection while it is still in use. One symptom from
1889 this error was a segfault when a failover secondary attempted to connect
1890 to the failover primary if their clocks were not synchronized.
1891
95bba8b6
SR
1892- Clean up to allow compilation with gcc 2.95.4 on FreeBSD. Remove an
1893 extra semi-colon from common/dns.c and moved setting a variable to NULL
1894 in server/dhcpv6.c to allow the compiler to decide that the variable
9a111ee8 1895 was always properly set.

1960- ./configure was extended to cover many optional build features, such
1961 as failover, server tracing, debugging, and the execute() command.

DH
1963- There is now a default 1/4 of a second scheduled delay between delayed
1964 fsync()'s, it can be configured by the max-ack-delay configuration
1965 parameter.

8269561d
DH
1967- A bug was fixed where the length of a hostname was miscalculated, so that
1968 hosts were given odd-looking domain names ("foo.bar.ba.example.com").

DH
1970- Shared network selection should be done from the innermost relay
1971 valid link-address field, rather than the outermost.

DH
1979- A memory leak when using omapi has been fixed.
1980
9ac4206a
DH
1981- DHCPv6 vendor-class options (VSIO) are now only sent when they appear
1982 on the DHCPv6 ORO. This resolves a bug where VSIO options were placed
1983 in IA_NA encapsulated options fields.
1984
420d8b3f
FD
1985- Integrated client with stateless, temporary address and prefix delegation
1986 support.

1995- Merge DHCPv6-only "dhcrelay6" into general-purpose "dhcrelay" (use
1996 "-6" option to select DHCPv6 mode).
1997
d352732e
EH
1998- Fix handling of -A and -a flags in dhcrelay; it was failing to expand
1999 packet size as needed to add relay agent options.
2000
7d6180be
DH
2001- A bug in subnet6 parsing where options contained in subnet6 clauses would
2002 not be applied to clients addressed within that network was repaired.
2003
2004- When configuring a "subnet {}" or "subnet6 {}" without an explicit
2005 shared-network enclosing it, the DHCP software would synthesize a
2006 shared-network to contain the subnet. However, all configuration
2007 parameters within the subnet more intuitively belong "to any client
2008 on that interface", or rather the synthesized shared-network. So,
2009 when a shared-network is synthesized, it is used to contain the
2010 configuration present inside the subnet {} clause. This means that
2011 the configuration will be valid for all clients on that network, not
2012 just those addressed out of the stated subnet. If you intended the
2013 opposite, the workaround is to explicitly configure an empty
2014 shared-network.
2015
2016- A bug was fixed where Information-Request processing was not sourcing
2017 configured option values.
2018
2019- A warning was added since the DHCPv6 processing software does not yet
2020 support class statements.

DH
2025- The v6 BSD socket method was updated to use a single UDP BSD socket
2026 no matter how many interfaces are involved, differentiating the
2027 interfaces the packets were received on by the interface index supplied
2028 by the OS.
2029
2030- The relay agent no longer listens to the All DHCP Servers Multicast
2031 address.

EH
2050- It's now possible to update the "ends" field of a lease with OMAPI.
2051 This is useful if you want not only to release a lease, but also make
2052 it available for reuse right away. Hat tip to Christof Chen.
2053
9a111ee8 2054- Fixed definition of the iaaddr hash functions to use the correct
1dcc3612

2067- Return in place of raise an impossible condition when one tries to release
2068 an empty active lease.

FD
2070- Timer granularity is now 1/100s in the DHCPv6 client.
2071
01a54c17
EH
2072- The dhclient-script was updated to create a host route for the default
2073 gateway if the supplied subnet mask for an IPv4 address was a /32. This
2074 allows the client to work in 'captive' network environments, where the
2075 operator does not want clients to crosstalk directly.
2076
adb95d23 2077- MINUS tokens should be parsable again.
01a54c17
EH
2078
2079- Multiple (up to "delayed-ack x;" maximum) DHCPv4 packets are now queued and
2080 released in bursts after single fsync() events when the upper limit is
2081 reached or if the receiving sockets go dry. The practical upshot is
2082 that fsync-coupled server performance is now multiplicitively increased.
2083 The default delayed ack limit is 28. Thanks entirely to a patch from
2084 Christof Chen.
2085
2086 Changes since 4.0.0 (bug fixes)
2087

2095- The 'min-secs' configuration parameter's log message has been updated to
2096 be more helpful.
2097
2098- The warning logged when an address range doesn't fit in the subnets
2099 they were declared has been updated to be more helpful and identify the
2100 typo in configuration that created the spanning addresses.
2101
2102- A bug in failover pool rebalancing that caused POOLREQ message ping-pongs
2103 was repaired.
2104
2105- A flaw in failover pool rebalancing that could cause POOLREQ messages to
2106 be sent outside of the min-balance/max-balance scheduled intervals has
2107 been repaired.
2108
2109- A cosmetic bug during potential-conflict recovery that caused the peer's
2110 'conflict-done' state message to be logged as 'unknown-state' has been
2111 repaired. It is now logged correctly.
2112
49f61135
DH
2113- A bug was fixed where the 'giaddr' may be used to find the client's subnet
2114 rather than its own 'ciaddr'.
2115
41d4652f
DH
2116- A log message was introduced to clarify the situation where a failover
2117 'address' parameter (the server's local address) did not resolve to an
2118 IPv4 address.
2119
2c9bf1f4
DH
2120- The minimum site code value was set to 224 in 3.1.0 to track RFC3942. This
2121 broke a lot of legacy site local configurations. The new code in place will
2122 track site local space minimum option codes and logs a warning to encourage
2123 updates and exploration of site local code migration problems. Option
2124 codes less than 128 in site local spaces remain inaccessible.
2125
2126- A possible relay agent option bug was repaired where random server
2127 initialization state may have been used to signal the relay agent
2128 information options sub-option code for the 'END' of the option space.
2129
cff9b78f
SK
2130- Fixes to allow code to compile and run on Solaris 9.

c4d29896
SK
2132- Fixes to allow code to compile on Mac OS X Leopard (10.5).
2133
57fcb8d9
SK
2134- When server is configured with options that it overrides, a warning is
2135 issued when the configuration file is read, rather than at the time the
2136 option is overridden. This was important, because the warning was given
9a111ee8 2137 every time the option was overridden, which could create a lot of
57fcb8d9
SK
2138 unnecessary logging.
2139
219a65eb
DH
2140- Fixed a compilation problems on platforms that define a value for FDDI,
2141 which conflicts with a dhcp configuration syntax token by the same name.
2142
ffdf3c8c
DH
2143- When a failover server suspects it has encountered a peer running a
2144 version 3.0.x failover server, a warning that the failover wire protocol
2145 is incompatible is printed.
2146
2147- The failover server no longer issues a floating point error if it encounters
2148 a previously undefined option code.
2149
00a002fc
MA
2150- Fix startup error messages to report a missing "subnet6 declaration", rather
2151 than a missing "subnet declaration", when running as a DHCPv6 server.
2152
9a111ee8 2153- DHCPv6 client timestamp in DUID was based on the year 1970 rather
7e9f7a1b
FD
2154 than the year 2000.
2155
e2cfde76

DH
2162 Changes since 4.0.0b3
2163
2164- The reverse dns name for PTR updates on IPv6 addresses has been fixed to
2165 use ip6.arpa. rather than default to in-addr.arpa and require user
2166 configuration.
76db44f9 2167
e32529a5
EH
2168- dhc6_lease_destroy() and dhc6_ia_destroy() now set lease and IA pointers
2169 to NULL after freeing, to prevent subsequent accesses to freed memory.
2170
9a111ee8 2171- The DHCPv6 server would not send the preference option unless the
76db44f9
SK
2172 client requested it, via the ORO. This has been fixed, so the DHCPv6
2173 server will always send the preference value if it is configured.
e4a6be15 2174
9a111ee8
TM
2175- When addresses were passed as hints to the server in an IA, they were
2176 incorrectly handled, sometimes being treated as an error. Now the
6f76de58
SK
2177 server will treat these as hints and ignore them if it cannot supply
2178 a requested address.
2179
703873ab
DH
2180- If the client had multiple addresses, and one expired (was not renewed
2181 by the server), the client would continue to attempt to renew the same
2182 old address over and over. Now, the client will omit any expired
2183 addresses from future Confirm, Renew, or Rebind messages.
2184
2185- dhclient -6 will now select renew/rebind timers based upon the longest
2186 address expiration time rather than the shortest expiration time, in
2187 order to avoid cascading renewals in the event a server elects not to
2188 extend one of multiple IAADDR leases.
2189
b024480e
DH
2190- The server now limits clients that request multiple addresses to one
2191 address per IA by default, which can be adjusted through the
2192 "limit-addrs-per-ia" configuration option.
2193
c0216cb7
DH
2194- The DHCPv6 client now issues fresh transaction IDs on Renew and Rebind
2195 message exchanges, rather than using the most recent ID.

1ac57173
FD
2197- The DHCPv6 server now replies to Information-Request messages.

2199- A bug was fixed in the dhclient-script for BSDs to correctly carry error
2200 codes through some conditions.
2201
c54db708
FD
2202- The parsing of some options in the dhclient lease file, in particular
2203 the success DHCPv6 status-code, was fixed.
2204
e5d83524
DH
2205- A bug was fixed that caused the DHCPv6 ORO option to be corrupted with
2206 seemingly random values.
2207
821f2dda
DH
2208- A reference overleak in DHCPv6 shared network processing was repaired.
2209
f8b3c6f4
DH
2210- ./configure now autodetects local database locations rather than trying
2211 to put dhcpd.leases and dhclient.leases in /usr/local/var/db, which no
2212 one ever has.
2213
9a111ee8
TM
2214- Regression fix for bug where server advertised a IPv6 address in
2215 response to a SOLICIT but would not return the address in response
b9137d42
SK
2216 to a REQUEST.
2217
9f1d5a2f
DH
2218- A bug was fixed where the DHCPv6 server puts the NoAddrsAvail status
2219 code in the IA_NA was fixed. The status code now appears in the root
2220 level.
2221
e4a6be15
DH
2222 Changes since 4.0.0b2
2223
65cf86d7
EH
2224- Clarified error message when lease limit exceeded
2225
b1d3778c
DH
2226- Relative time may now be used as a qualifier for 'allow' and 'deny' access
2227 control lists. These directives may be used to assist in re-addressing
2228 address pools without having to constantly reconfigure the server. Please
2229 see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more information on allow/deny 'after time' syntax.
2230 Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen.
2231
bead14ea
DH
2232- The server will now include multiple IA_NA's and multiple IAADDRs within
2233 them, if advertised by the client. It still only seeks to allocate one
2234 new address.
2235
f765ec36
SK
2236 Changes since 4.0.0b1
2237
75135a3f 2238- Use different paths for PID and lease files when running in DHCPv4
adb95d23 2239 or DHCPv6 mode, so that servers for both protocols can be run
75135a3f
EH
2240 simultaneously on a single interface.
2241
5c2d55c7
EH
2242- Fixed a buffer overflow error which could have allowed a denial
2243 of service under unusual server configurations
2244
2245- Eliminated a spurious error message from the client
2246
9a111ee8 2247- A number of bugs with the internal handling of lease state on the
f765ec36 2248 server have been fixed. Some of these could cause server crashes.
fa9b593d 2249
edb1283e
DH
2250- The peer_wants_leases() changes pulled up from 3.1.0 were corrected,
2251 'never used' leases will no longer consistently shift between servers
2252 on every pool rebalance run.
2253
c71c6399
DH
2254- sendmsg()/recvmsg() control buffers are now declared in such a way to
2255 ensure they are correctly aligned on all (esp. 64-bit) architectures.
2256
5279b8f3
DH
2257- The client leasing subsystem was streamlined and corrected to account
2258 more closely for changes in client link attachment selection.

ab3a540f 2260 Changes since 4.0.0a3
763cba6b 2261
9a111ee8 2262- The DHCP server no longer requires a "ddns-update-style" statement,
884a458f
SK
2263 and now defaults to "none", which means DNS updates are disabled.
2264
fa9b593d
DH
2265- Log messages when failover peer names mismatch have been improved to
2266 point out the problem.
2267
9a111ee8 2268- Bug where server advertised a IPv6 address in response to a SOLICIT
1b5053b5
SK
2269 but would not return the address in response to a REQUEST. Thanks to
2270 Dennis Kou for finding the bug.

2273 reported independently by Jothilingam Vasu and Dennis Kou.
2274
eaf7eb17
DH
2275- Fixed a ./configure bug where compile tests were failing due to
2276 "-Werror" (unused variable) rather than the actual test failure. Lead
2277 to inconsistent and unworkable auto-configurations.
2278
109e00db
DH
2279- Compilation with DLPI and -Werror has been repaired.
2280
9a111ee8 2281- Error in decoding IA_NA option if multiple interfaces are present
3ad9d48f
SK
2282 fixed by Marcus Goller.
2283
8eab95f2
DH
2284- DHCPv6 server Confirm message processing has been enhanced - it no
2285 longer replies only to clients with host {} records, it now replies
2286 as directed in RFC3315 section 18.2.2 - that is, to all clients
2287 regardless of the existence of bindings.
2288
07b9a351
DH
2289- A core dump during expired lease cleanup has been repaired.
2290
7285af30
DH
2291- DDNS updates state information are now stored in 'binding scopes' that
2292 follow the leases through their lifecycles. This enables DDNS teardowns
2293 on leases that are assigned and expired inbetween a server restart (the
2294 state is recovered from dhcpd.leases). Arbitrary user-specified binding
2295 scopes ('set var = "value";') are not yet supported.

2315- An internal database inconsistency bug was repaired where the server
2316 would segfault if a client attempted to renew a lease that had been
2317 loaded from persistent storage.
2318

2320 the DHCPv6 client configuration. 'send dhcp6.oro' is no longer
2321 necessary.

2323- Bug fixed where configuration file parsing did not work with
2324 zero-length options; this made it impossible to set the
f800f4f6
SK
2325 rapid-commit option.

2376 a new 'range6' configuration directive.
2377
98bd7ca0
DH
2378- An obviated option code hash lookup to find D6O_CLIENTID was removed.
2379
a512d11b
DH
2380- Corrected some situations where variables might be used without being
2381 initialized.
2382
2383- Silenced several other compiler warnings.
2384
2385- Include the more standard sys/uio.h rather than rely upon other
f66f02cc
DH
2386 header files to include it (fixes a BSD 4.2 compile failure).
2387
2388- Duplicate dhclient-script updates for DHCPv6 to all provided scripts.
a512d11b 2389
4ba58919
DH
2390- DHCPv4 I/O methods that failed to sense hardware address were corrected.
2391
2392- DHCPv4 is now the default (as documented) rather than DHCPv6. The default
2393 was set to DHCPv6 to facilitate ease early development, and forgotten.
2394
2395- Corrected a segmentation violation in DHCPv4 socket processing.
2396
8ea19a71 2397- dhclient will now fork() into the background once it binds to an
45d545f0 2398 IPv6 address, or immediately if the -n flag is supplied.
8ea19a71
DH
2399
2400- -q is now the default behaviour on dhclient, with -d or -v enabling
2401 non-quiet (stderr logging) mode.
2402
2cf8d0bd
DH
2403- Fix documentation of the domain-search atom (quoted, with commas).
2404
2405- Document DHCPv6 options presently in the default table.

fe5b0fdd
DH
2407- Replaced ./configure shellscripting with GNU Autoconf.

DH
2409 Changes since 3.1.0 (NEW FEATURES)
2410
2411- DHCPv6 Client and Server protocol support. Use '-6' to run the daemons
2412 as v6-only. Use '-4' to run the daemons as v4-only (default. There is
2413 no support currently for both.
2414
2415- Server support for multiple IA_NA options, containing at most one
2416 IAADDR option.
2417
2418- Client support for one IA_NA option, containing any number of IAADDR
2419 options.
2420
2421- Server support for the DHCPv6 Information-request message.
2422
2423- Inappropriate unicast DHCPv6 messages sent to the server are now
2424 discarded, and this has rearchitected the IO system slightly.
2425
2426- The DHCPv6 server DUID defaults to type 1, is persistently stored in
2427 the leases database, and can be over-ridden (either completely, or by
2428 specifying type 1 or type 2).
2429
2430- The server only uses Rapid-Commit if it has been configured with the
2431 Rapid-Commit option and the client requests it.
2432
2433- DDNS support. We now update AAAA records in the same place we would
2434 update A records, if we have an IPv6 address. We also generate IP6.ARPA
2435 style names for PTR records if we're dealing with an IPv6 address. Both
2436 A and AAAA updates are done using the same 'fqdn.' virtual option space
2437 (although the DHCPv4 FQDN and DHCPv6 FQDN options are formatted
2438 differently, they both use the same code here).
2439
2440- The Linux dhclient-script attempts to set and remove assigned addresses,
2441 and to configure /etc/resolv.conf from nameserver and domain name
2442 configurations. It can be extended to configure other parameters.
2443
2444- Initial DHCPv6 lease support.
2445
2446- The IO system now tracks all local IP addresses, so that the DHCP
2447 applications (particularly the dhcrelay) can discern between what frames
2448 were transmitted to it, and what frames are being carried through it which
2449 it should not intercept.

DH
2451 Changes since 3.1.0 (Maintenance)
2452
2453- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for virgin leases always
2454 mapped to the primary. Virgin leases now have an interleaved preference
2455 between primary and secondary.
2456
2457- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for clients with no client
2458 identifier was sometimes mishashed to the peer. Load balancing during
2459 runtime and pool rebalancing were opposing.
2460
aa3e348e
DH
2461- An assertion in lease counting relating to reserved leases was repaired.
2462
e9c59645
DH
2463- The subnet-mask option inclusion now conforms with RFC2132 section 3.3;
2464 it will only appear prior to the routers option if it is present on the
2465 Parameter-Request-List. The subnet-mask option will also only be
2466 included by default (if it is not on the PRL) in response to DISCOVER
2467 or REQUEST messages.
2468
2469- The FQDN option is only supplied if the client supplied an FQDN option or
2470 if the FQDN option was explicitly requested on the PRL.
2471
c104546d
DH
2472- Dynamic BOOTP leases are now load balanced in failover.

2475
adb95d23 2476- The parse warning that 'deny dynamic bootp;' must be configured for
b9d0cc05
DH
2477 failover protected subnets was removed.
2478
a512cc3a
DH
2479 Changes since 3.1.0b2
2480
2481- Failover rebalance events no longer play ping pong with round errors
2482 (moving leases between free and back to backup where there are an
2483 odd number of leases).
2484
2485- The 'pool' log line has been split into two messages, one before the
2486 rebalance run, and one after.
2487
2488- Any queued BNDACKs are transmitted before transmitting new BNDUPDs.
2489 This enforces the correct sequence of events for the remote server
2490 processing these messages.

fe5b0fdd 2492 Changes since 3.1.0b1
27837f95 2493
74dc3e0b
EH
2494- Fixed a bug that caused OMAPI clients to freeze when opening lease
2495 objects.
2496
1ba87b37
EH
2497- A new server config option "fqdn-reply" specifies whether the server
2498 should send out option 81 (FQDN). Defaults to "on". If set to "off",
2499 the FQDN option is not sent, even if the client requested it. This is
2500 needed because some clients misbehave otherwise. Thanks to Christof Chen
2501 at Allianz.
2502
a58da042
EH
2503- Allow trace output files (-tf option) to be overwritten, rather than
2504 crashing dhcpd if the file already exists
2505
61252edf
EH
2506- A bug was fixed that caused dhcpd to segfault if a pool was declared
2507 outside the scope of a subnet in dhcpd.conf.
2508
27837f95
DH
2509- Some uninitialized values were repaired in dhcpleasequery.c that
2510 caused the server to abort.
2511
4d2eaafb
DH
2512- A new server config option, 'do-reverse-updates', has been added
2513 which causes the server to abstain from performing updates on PTR
2514 records. Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen at Allianz.

06211b40
DH
2516- A bug was repaired in subencapsulation support, where spaces separated
2517 by empty spaces would not get included.
2518
d6614ea2
DH
2519- A bug in dhclient was repaired which caused it to send parameter request
2520 lists of 55 bytes in length no matter how long the declared PRL was.
2521
132d38f2
DH
2522- 'dhcp.c(3953): non-null pointer' has been repaired. This fixes a flaw
2523 wherein the DHCPv4 server may ignore a configured server-identifier.
2524
fc3b9c90
DH
2525- A flaw in failover startup sequences was repaired that sometimes left
2526 the primary DHCP server's pool rebalance schedules unscheduled.
2527
c9feb859
DH
2528- Corrected a flaw that broke encapsulated spaces included due to presence
2529 on the parameter request list.

bdddcb7d
DH
2543 Changes since 3.1.0a1
2544
2545- A bug in the FQDN universe that added FQDN codes to the NWIP universe's
2546 hash table was repaired.
2547
616d67cb
DH
2548- The servers now try harder to transmit pending binding updates when
2549 entering normal state.
2550
2551- UPDREQ/UPDREQALL handling was optimized - it no longer dequeues and
2552 requeues all pending updates. This should reduce the number of spurious
66c8f734
DH
2553 'xid mismatch' log messages.
2554
2555- An option definition referencing leak was fixed, which resulted in early
2556 termination of dhclient upon the renewal event.
616d67cb 2557
6708d944
DH
2558- Some default hash table sizes were tweaked, some upwards, some downwards.
2559 3.1.0a1's tables resulted in a reduction in default server memory use.
2560 The new selected values provide more of a zero sum (increasing the size
2561 of tables likely to be populated, decreasing the size of tables unlikely).
2562
45d545f0 2563- Lease structures appear in three separate hashes: by IP address, by UID,
6708d944
DH
2564 and by hardware address. One type of table was used for all three, and
2565 improvements to IP address hashing were applied to all three (so UID and
2566 hardware addresses were treated like 4-byte integers). There are now two
2567 types of tables, and the uid/hw hashes use functions more appropriate
2568 to their needs.
2569
2570- The max-lease-misbalance percentage no longer causes scheduled rebalance
2571 runs to be skipped: it still governs the schedule, but every scheduled
2572 run will attempt balance.
2573
a7ee93fe
DH
2574- A segfault bug in recursive encapsulation support has been corrected.
2575
98311e4b
DH
2576 Changes since 3.0 (New Features)
2577
2578- A workaround for certain STSN servers that send a mangled domain-name
2579 option was introduced for dhclient. The client will now accept corrupted
2580 server responses, if they contain a valid DHCP_MESSAGE_TYPE (OFFER, ACK,
2581 or NAK). The server will continue to not accept corrupt client packets.
2582
98bd7ca0 2583- Support for 'reserved' (pseudo-static) and BOOTP leases via failover
a55ccdd0 2584 was introduced.
98311e4b
DH
2585
2586- Support for adding, removing, and managing class and subclass statements
2587 via OMAPI.
2588
a55ccdd0
DH
2589- The failover implementation was updated to comply with revision 12 of
2590 the protocol draft.
2591
98311e4b
DH
2592- 'make install' now creates the initial zero-length dhcpd.leases file if
2593 one does not already exist on the system.
2594
b43c87ad 2595- RFC3942 compliance, site-local option spaces start at 224 now, not 128.
b43c87ad 2596
0b17f049
DH
2597- The Load Balance Algorithm was misimplemented. The current implementation
2598 matches RFC 3074.
2599
2727c1cf
DH
2600- lcase() and ucase() configuration expressions have been added which adjust
2601 their arguments from upper to lower and lower to upper cases respectively.
2714a8ef 2602 Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
2727c1cf 2603
febbd402
DH
2604- The dhclient 'reject ...;' statement, which rejects leases given by named
2605 server-identifiers, now permits address ranges to be specified in CIDR
7d7073e7 2606 notation. Thanks to a patch from David Boyce.
febbd402 2607
ee912528
DH
2608- The subnet-mask option is now supplied by default, but at lowest
2609 priority. This helps a small minority of clients that provide parameter
2610 request lists, but do not list the subnet-mask option because they were
2611 designed to interoperate with a server that behaves in this manner.
2612
2613- The FQDN option is similarly supplied even if it does not appear on the
2614 parameter request list, but not to the exclusion of options that do
2615 appear at the parameter request list. Up until now it had ultimate
2616 priority over the client's parameter request list.
2617
f7fdb216 2618- Varying option space code and length bit widths (8/16/32) are now
51202707 2619 supported. This is a milestone in achieving RFC 3925 "VIVSO" and
f7fdb216
DH
2620 DHCPv6 support.
2621
5e864416
DH
2622- A new common (server or client) option, 'db-time-format local;', has
2623 been added which prints the local time in /var/db/dhcpd.leases rather
2624 than UTC. Thanks to a patch from Ken Lalonde.
2625
b500bd4c
DH
2626- Some patches to improve DHCP Server startup speed from Andrew Matheson
2627 have been incorporated.
2628
2426234f
DH
2629- Failover pairs now implement 'MAC Affinity' on leases moving from the
2630 active to free states. Leases that belonged to the failover secondary
2631 are moved to BACKUP state rather than FREE upon exiting EXPIRED state.
2632 If lease rebalancing must move leases, it tries first to move leases
2633 that belong to the peer in need.
2634
2635- The server no longer sends POOLREQ messages unless the pool is severely
2636 misbalanced in the peer's favor (see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more details).
2637
2638- Pool rebalance events no longer happen upon successfully allocating a
2639 lease. Instead, they happen on a schedule. See 'man dhcpd.conf' for the
2640 min-balance and max-balance statements for more information.
2641
334bf491
DH
2642- The DHCP Relay Agent Information Option / Link Selection Sub-Option
2643 is now supported. (See RFC3527 for details).
2644
3004bebf
DH
2645- A new DDNS related server option, update-conflict-detection, has been
2646 added. If this option is enabled, dhcpd will perform normal DHCID
2647 conflict resolution (the default). If this option is disabled, it will
2648 instead trust the assigned name implicitly (removing any other bindings
2649 on that name). This option has not been made available in dhclient.
2650
567e8561
DH
2651- In those cases where the DHCP software manufactures an IP header (to
2652 transmit via bpf, lpf, etc), the IP TTL the software selects has been
2653 increased from 16 to 128. This is intended to match Microsoft Windows
2654 DHCP Client behaviour, to increase compatibility.
2655
a396d25f
DH
2656- 'ignore client-updates;' now has behaviour that is different from
2657 'deny client-updates;'. The client's request is not truly ignored,
2658 rather it is encouraged. Should this value be configured, the server
2659 updates DNS as though client-updates were set to 'deny'. That is, it
2660 enters into DNS whatever it is configured to do already, provided it is
2661 configured to. Then it sends a response to the client that lets the
2662 client believe it is performing client updates (which it will), probably
2663 for a different name. In essence, this lets the client do as it will,
2664 ignoring this aspect of their request.
2665
dba5803b
DH
2666- Support for compressed 'domain name list' style DHCP option contents, and
2667 in particular the domain search option (#119) was added.
2668
41e45067 2669- The DHCP LEASEQUERY protocol as defined in RFC4388 is now implemented.
6d103865
SK
2670 LEASEQUERY lets you query the DHCP server for information about a lease,
2671 using either an IP address, MAC address, or client identifier. Thanks
2672 to a patch from Justin Haddad.
2673
41e45067
DH
2674- DHCPD is now RFC2131 section 4.1 compliant (broadcast to all-ones ip and
2675 ethernet mac address) on the SCO platform specifically without any strange
2676 ifconfig hacks. Many thanks go to the Kroger Co. for donating the
2677 hardware and funding the development.
6d103865 2678
b543fea9
DH
2679- A new common configuration executable statement, execute(), has been
2680 added. This permits dhcpd or dhclient to execute a named external
2681 program with command line arguments specified from other configuration
2682 language. Thanks to a patch written by Mattias Ronnblom, gotten to us
2683 via Robin Breathe.
2684
b22de500
DH
2685- A new dhcp server option 'adaptive-lease-time-threshold' has been added
2686 which causes the server to substantially reduce lease-times if there are
2687 few (configured percentage) remaining leases. Thanks to a patch submitted
2688 from Christof Chen.
2689
96bbe8c5
SK
2690- Encapsulated option spaces within encapsulated option spaces is now
2691 formally supported.
2692
b8221d95
DH
2693 Changes since 3.0.6rc1
2694
2695- supersede_lease() now requeues leases in their respective hardware
2696 address hash bucket. This mirrors client identifier behaviour.
2697
c1e6c832
DH
2698 Changes since 3.0.5
2699
f546c28b
DH
2700- Assorted fixes for broken network devices: Packet length is now
2701 determined from the IP header length field to finally calculate the
2702 UDP payload length, because some NIC drivers return more data than
5a22eb63 2703 they actually received.
f546c28b
DH
2704
2705- UDP packets are now stored in aligned data structures.
2706
c1e6c832
DH
2707- A logic error in omapi interface code was repaired that might result in
2708 incorrectly indicating 'up' state when any flags were set, rather than
23e10d37
DH
2709 specifically the INTERFACE_REQUESTED flag. Thanks to a patch from
2710 Jochen Voss which got to us via Andrew Pollock at Debian.
c1e6c832 2711
75ab3070
DH
2712- A reference leak on binding scopes set by ddns updates was repaired.
2713
d69fb6a8 2714- A memory leak in the minires_nsendsigned() function call was repaired.
23e10d37 2715 Effectively, this leaked ~176 bytes per DDNS update.
d69fb6a8 2716
02428754
DH
2717- In the case where an "L2" DHCP Relay Agent (one that does not set giaddr)
2718 was directly attached to the same broadcast domain as the DHCP server,
2719 the RFC3046 relay agent information option was not being returned to the
2720 relay in the server's replies. This was fixed; the dhcp server no longer
2721 requires the giaddr to reply with relay agent information. Note that
2722 this also improves compatibility with L2 devices that "intercept" DHCP
2723 packets and expect relay agent information even in unicast (renewal)
23e10d37
DH
2724 replies. Thanks to a patch from Pekka Silvonen.
2725
2726- A bug was fixed where the BOOTP header 'sname' field had a value, the
2727 copy written to persistent storage was actually the contents of the
2728 'file' field.
02428754 2729
ecde99a3
DH
2730- A bug was fixed where the nwip virtual option space was referencing
2731 the fqdn option's virtual option space's option cache.
2732
67674ffb
DH
2733- Timestamp parsing errors that indicated missing "minutes" fields rather
2734 than the actually missing "seconds" fields have been repaired thanks to
2735 a patch from Kevin Steves.
2736
830ebc4c
DH
2737- A grammar error in the dhclient.8 manpage was repaired thanks to a patch
2738 from Chris Wagner.
2739
c759db75
DH
2740- Several spelling typos were repaired, and some cross-references to other
2741 relevant documents were included in the manpages, thanks to a patch
2742 by Andrew Pollock which got to us via Tomas Pospisek.
2743
9aa3f3a5
DH
2744- Some bugs were fixed in the 'emergency relay agent options hologram'
2745 which is used to retain relay agent option contents from when the
2746 client was in INIT or REBIND states. This should solve problems where
2747 relay agent options were not echoed from the server, even when giaddr
2748 was set.
2749
3d0c598a
DH
2750- dhclient now closes its descriptor to dhclient.leases prior to executing
2751 dhclient-script. Thanks to a patch from Tomas Pospisek.
2752
d5b6835f
DH
2753- The server's "by client-id" and "by hardware address" hash table lists
2754 are now sorted according to the preference to re-allocate that lease to
2755 returning clients. This should eliminate pool starvation problems
2756 arising when "INIT" clients were given new leases rather than presently
2757 active ones.
2758
02428754 2759 Changes since 3.0.5rc1
0a73b7b6 2760
901306d5 2761- A bug was repaired in fixes to the dhclient, which sought to run the
0a73b7b6
SK
2762 dhclient-script with the 'EXPIRE' state should it receive a NAK in
2763 response to a REQUEST. The client now iterates the PREINIT state
2764 after the EXPIRE state, so that interfaces that might be configured
2765 'down' can be brought back 'up' and initialized.
2766
87a08ccc
DH
2767- DHCPINFORM handling for clients that properly set ciaddr and come to the
2768 server via a relay aget has been repaired.
2769
6da113fb
DH
2770 Changes since 3.0.4
2771
2772- A warning that host statements declared within subnet or shared-network
2773 scopes are actually global has been added.
2774
2775- The default minimum lease time (if min-lease-time was not specified)
2776 was raised from 0 to 300. 0 is not thought to be sensible, and is
2777 known to be damaging.
2778
2779- Added additional fatal error sanity checks surrounding lease binding
2780 state count calculations (free/active counts used for failover pool
2781 balancing).
2782
dcc557db
DH
2783- Some time value size fixes in 3.0.4 brought on from FreeBSD /usr/ports were
2784 misapplied to server values rather than client values. The server no longer
2785 advertises 8-byte lease-time options when on 64-bit platforms.
2786
1b2ab55f
DH
2787- A bug where leases not in ACTIVE state would get billed to billed classes
2788 (classes with lease limitations) was fixed. Non-active leases OFFERed
2789 to clients are no longer billed (but billing is checked before offering).
2790
e48891e8
DH
2791- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated in regard to the ddns-domainname
2792 configuration option - the default configuration and results should be
2793 more clear now.
2794
6cbc6629
DH
2795- If the dhclient were to receive a DHCPNAK while it was in the RENEW
2796 state (and consequently, had an active, 'bound' address and related
2797 configuration options), it would fail to 'tear down' this information
2798 before proceeding into INIT state. dhclient now iterates the dhclient-
2799 script with the 'EXPIRE' action to cause these teardowns prior to entering
1d3bfb17 2800 INIT state. Thanks to a patch from Chris Zimmerman.

2802- The omapi.1 manpage had some formatting errors repaired thanks to a patch
2803 from Yoshihiko Sarumaru.

DH
2805- A few lines of code that were failover-specific were moved within
2806 #if defined() clauses so that compilation without failover could be
2807 made possible.

2809- The log message emitted when the 'leased-address' value was not available
2810 in dhcpd.conf "executable statements" has been updated to be more helpful.
2811 Manpage information for this value has also been updated.

2813- Abandoned or dissociated (err condition) leases now remove any related

2816- Attempting to write a new lease file to replace a corrupt (due to
2817 encountering non-retryable errors during writing) lease file should
2818 no longer result in an infinite recursion.

DH
2820- Host declaration hardware addresses and client identifiers may only be
2821 configured once. dhcpd will now fail to load config files that specify
2822 multiple identifiers (previous versions would silently over-ride the
2823 value with the later configured value).

2825- Several option codes that have been allocated since our last release
2826 have been named and documented.
2827
2828- Option names of the form "unknown-123" have been removed from the in-
2829 memory hash tables. In order to support options of these names that
2830 may appear in dhclient.leases or similar in previous versions, the
2831 parser will now find the new option code definition, or mock up a
2832 generic option code definition. This should result in a smooth
2833 transition from one name to the other, as the new name is used to
2834 write new output.

2838- The dhcp-options.5 manpage was updated to correct indentation errors
2839 thanks to a patch from Jean Delvare.
2840
2841 Changes since 3.0.4b3

2843- Some manual pages were clarified pursuant to discussion on the dhcp-server
2844 mailing list.

2846 Changes since 3.0.4b2
2847
45d545f0 2848- Null-termination sensing for certain clients that unfortunately require
88cd8aca
DH
2849 it in DHCPINFORM processing was repaired.
2850
2851- The host-name option and a few others were moved from "X" format to "t"
2852 format to be compatible with new NULL handling functions.
2853
2854- DHCPINFORM processing is a little more careful about return addressing
2855 its responses, or if responding via a relay. The INFORM related
2856 messages also log the 'effective client ip address' rather than the
2857 client's supplied ciaddr (since some clients produce null ciaddrs).
2858
2859- The server was inappropriately sending leases to the RESET state in the
2860 event that multiple active leases were found to match a singly-identified
2861 client. This was changed to RELEASED (by accepting a different, ACTIVE
2862 binding, the client is implicitly releasing its lease). This repairs a
2863 bug wherein secondary servers in failover pairs detecting this condition
2864 move leases to RESET, and primaries refuse to accept that state
2865 transition (properly).
2866
2867- The memset-after-dmalloc() changes made in 3.0.4b1 have been backed out.
2868
2869 Changes since 3.0.4b1
2870
2871- Command line parsing in omshell was repaired - it no longer closes
2872 STDIN after reading one line.
2873
2874- The resolver library no longer closes the /etc/resolv.conf file
2875 descriptor it opened twice.
2876
2877- Changes to trailing NULL removal in 't' option-atoms has been rethought,
2878 it now includes 'd' (domain name) types, and tries hard not to rewind an
2879 option beyond the start of the text field it is un-terminating.
2880
2881 Changes since 3.0.3
2882
2883- A DDNS update handling function was misusing the DNS error codes, rather
2884 than the internal generic result enumeration. The result is a confusing
2885 syslog line, logging the wrong condition.
2886
2887- The DHCP Server was not checking pool balance in the case where it brought
2888 a non-ACTIVE lease out of storage for a client that was returning to use
2889 a lease it once had long ago, and had since expired.
2890
2891- Failover peers no longer bother to look for free leases to allocate when
2892 they already found the client's ACTIVE lease. DISCOVERs are load balanced
98bd7ca0 2893 whether freely-allocated or not, unless the server doubts the peer has
88cd8aca
DH
2894 leases to allocate.
2895
2896- Fixed a bug in dhcrelay agent addition code that suppressed trailing
45d545f0 2897 PAD options - it was suppressing only one trailing PAD option, rather
88cd8aca
DH
2898 than the entire block of them.
2899
3a16098f
DH
2900! Fixed some unlikely overlapping-region memcpy() bugs in dhcrelay agent
2901 option addition and stripping code. Added a few sanity checks. Although
2902 highly improbable, due to requiring the reception of a DHCP datagram well
2903 in excess of all known to be used physical MTU limitations, it is possible
2904 this may have been used in a stack overflow security vulnerability. Thanks
2905 to a patch from infamous42md.
2906
2907! Added some sanity checks to OMAPI connection/authentication code.
2908 Although highly improbable, due to having to deliver in excess of 2^32
2909 bytes of data via the OMAPI channel, not to mention requiring dhcpd to
2910 be able to malloc() a memory region 2^32 bytes in size, it was possible
2911 this might have resulted in a heap overflow security vulnerability.
2912 Thanks to a patch from infamous42md.

DH
2913
2914- dmalloc() memset()'s the non-debug (data) portion of the allocated
2915 memory to zero. Code that memset()'s the result returned by dmalloc() to
2916 zero is redundant. These redundancies were removed.
2917
2918- Some type declaration corrections to u_int16_t were made in common/tr.c
4b97eaff 2919 (Token Ring support) thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.

DH
2920
2921- A failover bug that was allowing leases that EXPIRED or were RELEASED
2922 where tsfp and tstp are identical timestamps to languish in these
2923 transitional states has been repaired. As a side effect, lease
2924 databases should be kept more consistent overall, not just for these
2925 transitional states.
2926
2927- If the lease db is deleted out from under the daemon, and it moves to rewrite
2928 the db, it will go ahead with the operation and move the new db into place
2929 once it detects the old db does not exist.
2930
2931- dhclient now ignores IRDA, SIT, and IEEE1394 network interfaces, as it
2932 is either nonsensical or (in the case of IEEE1394) is not known to support
2933 these interfaces. Thanks to Marius Gedminas and Andrew Pollock of Debian.
2934
2935- Some previously undocumented reasons for dhclient-script invoking has
45d545f0 2936 been documented in the dhclient-script.8 manpage.

DH
2937
2938- Failover potential expiry calculations (TSTP) have been corrected. Results
2939 should be substantially more consistent, and proper given the constraints.
2940
2941- Adjusted lease state validation checks in potential-conflict, to
2942 account for possible clock skew similarly to normal state, and several
2943 previously illegal transitions were made legal (ex: active->released).
2944
2945- An impossible sanity check was removed from omapi/buffer.c, thanks to a
2946 patch from 'infamous42md'.
2947
2948- An OMAPI host/network byte order problem in lease time values has been
2949 repaired.
2950
2951- Several minor bugs, largely relating to treating 8-byte time values as
2952 4-byte entities, have been repaired after careful review of the FreeBSD
2953 ports collection's patch set. Thanks to the nameless entities who have
2954 contributed to the FreeBSD ports.
2955
2956- When writing a trace file, the file is now created with permissions 0600,
2957 to help administrators avoid accidentally publicising sensitive config
2958 data.
2959
2960- The calculation of the maximum size of DHCP packets no longer includes
2961 Ethernet framing overhead. The result is that the 'Maximum Message
2962 Size' option advertised by clients, or the default value 576, is no
2963 longer reduced by 14 bytes, and instead directly reflects the IP level
2964 MTU (and the default, minimum allowed IP MTU of 576).
2965
2966- The special status of RELEASED/EXPIRED/RESET leases when a server
2967 is operating in partner-down was fixed. It no longer requires a
2968 lease be twice the MCLT beyond STOS to 'reallocate', and the expiry
2969 event to turn these into FREE leases without peer acknowledgement
2970 (after STOS+MCLT) has been repaired.
2971
2972- Compilation on older Solaris systems (lacking /usr/include/sys/int_types.h)
2973 has been repaired.
2974
2975- "append"ing a string onto the end of a "t" type option (such as the
2976 domain-name field) that had been improperly NULL-terminated by the
2977 DHCP server will no longer result in a truncated string containing
2978 only the option from the server, and not the expected appended value.
4b97eaff 2979 Thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.

DH
2980
2981- File handlers on configuration state (config files and lease dbs) should
98bd7ca0 2982 be treated consistently, regardless of whether TRACING is defined or not.
88cd8aca 2983
45d545f0 2984- The Linux build environment has had some minor improvements - better
88cd8aca
DH
2985 sensing of 64-bit pointer sizes (only used for establishing an icmp_id),
2986 and corrections to #if operators regarding LINUX_MAJOR should it ever
2987 move to 3.[01].x.
2988
2989- The server now tries harder to survive the condition where it is unable
2990 to open a new lease file to rewrite the lease state database.

2992 Changes since 3.0.3b3
2993
2994- dhclient.conf documentation for interface {} was updated to reflect recent
2995 discussion on the dhcp-hackers mailing list.
2996
2997- In response to reports that the software does not compile on GCC 4.0.0,
2998 -Werror was removed from Makefile.conf for all platforms that used it.
2999 We will address the true problem in a future release; this is a temporary
3000 workaround.
3001
3002 Changes since 3.0.3b2
3003
3004- An error in code changes introduced in 3.0.3b2 was corrected, which caused
3005 static BOOTP clients to receive random addresses.
3006
3007 Changes since 3.0.3b1
3008
3009- A bug was fixed in BOOTPREQUEST handling code wherein stale references to
3010 host records would be left behind on leases that were not allocated to the
3011 client currently booting (eg in the case where the host was denied booting).
3012
3013- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated to be more clear in regards to
3014 multiple host declarations (thanks to Vincent McIntyre). 'Interim' style
3015 dynamic updates were also retouched.

DH
3017 Changes since 3.0.2
3018
3019- A bug was fixed where a server might load balance a DHCP REQUEST to its
45d545f0 3020 peer after already choosing not to load balance the preceding DISCOVER.
98311e4b
DH
3021 The peer cannot allocate the originating server's lease.
3022
3023- In the case where a secondary server lost its stable storage while the
3024 primary was still in communications-interrupted, and came back online,
3025 the lease databases would not be fully transferred to the secondary.
3026 This was due to the secondary errantly sending an extra UPDREQ message
3027 when the primary made its state transition to PARTNER-DOWN known.
3028
3029- The package will now compile cleanly in gcc 3.3 and 3.4. As a side effect,
3030 lease structures will be 9 bytes smaller on all platforms. Thanks to
4b97eaff 3031 Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3032
3033- Interface discovery code in DISCOVER_UNCONFIGURED mode is now
3034 properly restricted to only detecting broadcast interfaces. Thanks
4b97eaff 3035 to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3036
3037- decode_udp_ip_header was changed so that the IP address was copied out
3038 to a variable, rather than referenced by a pointer. This enforces 4-byte
3039 alignment of the 32-bit IP address value. Thanks to a patch from Dr.
3040 Peter Poeml.
3041
3042- An incorrect log message was corrected thanks to a patch from
3043 Dr. Peter Poeml.
3044
3045- A bug in DDNS was repaired, where if the server's first DDNS action was
3046 a DDNS removal rather than a DDNS update, the resolver library's
3047 retransmit timer and retry timer was set to the default, implying a
3048 15 second timeout interval. Which is a little excessive in a synchronous,
3049 single-threaded system. In all cases, ISC DHCP should now hold fast to
3050 a 1-second timeout, trying only once.
3051
3052- The siaddr field was being improperly set to the server-identifier when
3053 responding to DHCP messages. RFC2131 clarified the siaddr field as
3054 meaning the 'next server in the bootstrap process', eg a tftp server.
3055 The siaddr field is now left zeroed unless next-server is configured.
3056
3057- mockup_lease() could have returned in an error condition (or in the
3058 condition where no fixed-address was found matching the shared
3059 network) with stale references to a host record. This is probably not
3060 a memory leak since host records generally never die anyway.
3061
3062- A bug was repaired where failover servers would let stale client identifiers
3063 persist on leases that were reallocated to new clients not sending an id.
3064
3065- Binding scopes ("set var = value;") are now removed from leases allocated
3066 by failover peers if the lease had expired. This should help reduce the
3067 number of stale binding scopes on leases.
3068
3069- A small memory leak was closed involving client identifiers larger than
3070 7 bytes, and failover.
3071
3072- Configuring a subnet in dhcpd.conf with a subnet mask of 32 bits might
3073 cause an internal function to overflow heap. Thanks to Jason Vas Dias
4b97eaff 3074 at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3075
3076- Some inconsistencies in treating numbers that the lexer parsed as 'NUMBER'
3077 or 'NUMBER_OR_NAME' was repaired. Hexadecimal parsing is affected, and
3078 should work better.
3079
3080- In several cases, parse warnings were being issued before the lexical
3081 token had been advanced to the token whose value was causing an error...
3082 causing parse warnings to claim the problem is on the wrong token.
3083
3084- Host declarations matching on client identifier for dynamic leases will
3085 no longer match fixed-address host declarations (this is now identical
3086 to behaviour for host records matching on hardware address).
3087
3088 Changes since 3.0.2rc3
3089
3090- A previously undocumented configuration directive, 'local-address',
3091 was documented in the dhcpd.conf manpage.
3092
3093 Changes since 3.0.2rc2
3094
45d545f0 3095- Two variables introduced in 3.0.2b1 were used without being initialized
98311e4b
DH
3096 in the case where neither the FILE nor SNAME fields were available for
3097 overloading. This was repaired.
3098
3099- A heretofore believed to be impossible corner case of the option
3100 overloading implementation turned out to be possible ("Unable to sort
3101 overloaded options after 10 tries."). The implementation was reworked
3102 to consider the case of an option so large it would require more than
3103 three chunks to fit.
3104
3105- Many other instances of variables being used without being initialized
3106 were repaired.
3107
3108- An uninitialized variable in omapi_io_destroy() led to the discovery
3109 that this function may result in orphaned pointers (and hence, a memory
3110 leak).
3111
3112 Changes since 3.0.2rc1
3113
3114- allocate_lease() was rewritten to repair a bug in which the server would
3115 try to allocate an ABANDONED lease when FREE leases were available.
3116
3117 Changes since 3.0.2b1
3118
3119- Some dhcp-eval.5 manpage formatting was repaired.
3120
3121 Changes since 3.0.1
3122
3123- A bug was fixed in the server's 'option overloading' implementation,
3124 where options loaded into the 'file' and 'sname' packet fields were
3125 not aligned precisely as rfc2131 dictates.
3126
3127- The FreeBSD client script was changed to support the case where a domain
3128 name was not provided by the server.
3129
3130- A memory leak in 'omshell' per each command line parsed was
3131 repaired, thanks to a patch from Jarkko Torppa.
3132
3133- Log functions writing to stderr were adjusted to use the STDERR_FILENO
3134 system definition rather than '2'. This is a no-op for 90% of platforms.
3135
3136- One call to trace_write_packet_iov() counted the number of io vectors
3137 incorrectly, causing inconsistent tracefiles. This was fixed.
3138
3139- Some expression parse failure memory leaks were closed.
3140
3141- A host byte order problem in tracefiles was repaired.
3142
3143- Pools configured in DHCPD for failover possessing permission lists that
adb95d23 3144 previously were assumed to not include dynamic bootp clients are now
98311e4b
DH
3145 a little more pessimistic. The result is, dhcpd will nag you about just
3146 about most pools that possess a 'allow' statement with no 'deny' that
3147 would definitely match a dynamic bootp client.
3148
3149- The 'ddns-update-style' configuration warning bit now insists that
3150 the configuration be globally scoped.
3151
3152- Two memory leaks in dhclient were closed thanks to a patch from Felix
3153 Farkas.
3154
3155- Some minor but excellently pedantic documentation errors were fixed
3156 thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
3157
3158- Bugs in operator precedence in executable statements have been repaired
3159 once again. More legal syntaxes should be parsed legally.
3160
3161- Failing to initialize a tracefile for any reason if a tracefile was
3162 specified is now a fatal error. Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
3163
3164- Corrected a bug in which the number of leases transferred as calculated
3165 by the failover primary and sent to peers in POOLRESP responses may be
3166 incorrect. This value is not believed to be used by other failover
3167 implementations, excepting perhaps as logged information.
3168
3169- Corrected a bug in which 'dhcp_failover_send_poolresp()' was in fact
3170 sending POOLREQ messages instead of POOLRESP mesasges. This message
3171 was essentially ignored since failover secondaries effectively do not
3172 respond to POOLREQ messages.
3173
3174- Type definitions for various bitwidths of integers in the sunos5-5
3175 build of ISC DHCP have been fixed. It should compile and run more
3176 easily when built in 64-bit for this platform.
3177
3178- "allow known-clients;" is now a legal syntax, to avoid confusion.
3179
3180- If one dhcp server chooses to 'load balance' a request to its failover
3181 peer, it first checks to see if it believes said peer has a free
3182 lease to allocate before ignoring the DISCOVER.
3183
3184- log() was logging a work buffer, rather than the value returned by
3185 executing the statements configured by the user. In some cases,
3186 the work buffer and the intended results were the same. In some other
3187 cases, they were not. This was fixed thanks to a patch from Gunnar
3188 Fjone and directconnect.no.
3189
3190- Compiler warnings for some string type conversions was fixed, thanks
3191 to Andreas Gustafsson.
3192
3193- The netbsd build environments were simplified to one, in which
3194 -Wconversion is not used, thanks to Andreas Gustafsson.
3195
3196- How randomness in the backoff-cutoff dhclient configuration variable
3197 is implemented was better documented in the manpage, and the behaviour
3198 of dhclient in REQUEST timeout handling was changed to match that of
3199 DISCOVER timeout handling.
3200
3201- Omapi was hardened against clients that pass in null values, thanks
3202 to a patch from Mark Jason Dominus.
3203
3204- A bug was fixed in dhclient that kept it from doing client-side
3205 ddns updates. Thanks to a patch from Andreas Gustafsson, which
3206 underwent some modification after review by Jason Vas Dias.
3207
3208- Failover implementations disconnected due to the network between
3209 them (rather than one of the two shutting down) will now try to
3210 re-establish the failover connection every 5 seconds, rather than
3211 to simply try once and give up until one of them is restarted.
3212 Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from Infoblox, and field testing
3213 by Greger V. Teigre which led to an enhancement to it.
3214
3215- A problem that kept DHCP Failover secondaries from tearing down
3216 ddns records was repaired. Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from
3217 Infoblox.
3218
3219- 64bit pointer sizes are detected properly on FreeBSD now.
3220
3221- A bug was repaired where the DHCP server would leave stale references
3222 to host records on leases it once thought about offering to certain
3223 clients. The result would be to apply host and 'known' scopes to the
3224 wrong clients (possibly denying booting). NOTE: The 'mis-host' patch
3225 that was being circulated as a workaround is not the way this bug was
3226 fixed. If you were a victim of this bug in 3.0.1, you are cautioned
3227 to proceed carefully and see if it fixes your problem.
3228
3229- A bug was repaired in the server's DHCPINFORM handling, where it
3230 tried to divine the client's address from the source packet and
3231 would get it wrong. Thanks to Anshuman Singh Rawat.
3232
3233- A log message was introduced to help illuminate the case where the
3234 server was unable to find a lease to assign to any BOOTP client.
3235 Thanks to Daniel Baker.
3236
3237- A minor dhcpd.conf.5 manpage error was fixed.
3238
3239 Changes since 3.0.1rc14
3240
3241- The global variable 'cur_time' was centralized and is now uniformly of a
3242 type #defined in system-dependent headers. It had previously been defined
3243 in one of many places as a 32-bit value, and this causes mayhem on 64-bit
3244 big endian systems. It probably wasn't too healthy on little endian
3245 systems either.
3246
3247- A printf format string error introduced in rc14 was repaired.
3248
3249- AIX system-dependent header file was altered to only define NO_SNPRINTF
3250 if the condition used to #ifdef in vsnprintf in AIX' header files
3251 is false.
3252
3253- The Alpha/OSF system-dependent header file was altered to define
3254 NO_SNPRINTF on OS revisions older than 4.0G.
3255
3256- omapip/test.c had string.h added to its includes.
3257
3258 Changes since 3.0.1rc13
3259
3260! CAN-2004-0460 - CERT VU#317350: Five stack overflow exploits were closed
3261 in logging messages with excessively long hostnames provided by the
3262 clients. It is highly probable that these could have been used by
3263 attackers to gain arbitrary root access on systems using ISC DHCP 3.0.1
3264 release candidates 12 or 13. Special thanks to Gregory Duchemin for
3265 both finding and solving the problem.
3266
3267! CAN-2004-0461 - CERT VU#654390: Once the above was closed, an opening
45d545f0 3268 in log_*() functions was evidenced, on some specific platforms where
98311e4b
DH
3269 vsnprintf() was not believed to be available and calls were wrapped to
3270 sprintf() instead. Again, credit goes to Gregory Duchemin for finding
3271 the problem. Calls to snprintf() are now linked to a distribution-local
3272 snprintf implementation, only in those cases where the architecture is
3273 not known to provide one (see includes/cf/[arch].h). If you experience
3274 linking problems with snprintf/vsnprintf or 'isc_print_' functions, this
3275 is where to look. This vulnerability did not exist in any previously
3276 published version of ISC DHCP.
3277
3278- Compilation on hpux 11.11 was repaired.
3279
3280- 'The cross-compile bug fix' was backed out.
3281
3282 Changes since 3.0.1rc12
3283
3284- Fixed a bug in omapi lease lookup function, to form the hardware
3285 address for the hash lookup correctly, thanks to a patch from
3286 Richard Hirst.
3287
3288- Fixed a bug where dhcrelay was sending relayed responses back to the
3289 broadcast address, but with the source's unicast mac address. Should
3290 now conform to rfc2131 section 4.1.
3291
3292- Cross-compile bug fix; use $(AR) instead of ar. Thanks to Morten Brorup.
3293
3294- Fixed a crash bug in dhclient where dhcpd servers that do not provide
3295 renewal times results in an FPE. As a side effect, dhclient can now
3296 properly handle 0xFFFFFFFF (-1) expiry times supplied by servers. Thanks
3297 to a patch from Burt Silverman.
3298
3299- The 'ping timeout' debugs from rc12 were removed to -DDEBUG only,
45d545f0 3300 and reformatted to correct a compilation error on Solaris platforms.
98311e4b
DH
3301
3302- A patch was applied which fixes a case where leases read from the
3303 leases database do not properly over-ride previously read leases.
3304
3305- dhcpctl.3 manpage was tweaked.
3306
3307 Changes since 3.0.1rc11
3308
3309- A patch from Steve Campbell was applied with minor modifications to
3310 permit reverse dns PTR record updates with values containing spaces.
3311
3312- A patch from Florian Lohoff was applied with some modifications to
3313 dhcrelay. It now discards packets whose hop count exceeds 10 by default,
3314 and a command-line option (-c) can be used to set this threshold.
3315
3316- A failover bug relating to identifying peers by name length instead of
3317 by name was fixed.
3318
45d545f0 3319- Declaring failover configs within shared-network statements should no
98311e4b
DH
3320 longer result in error.
3321
3322- The -nw command line option to dhclient now works.
3323
3324- Thanks to a patch from Michael Richardson:
3325 - Some problems with long option processing have been fixed.
3326 - Some fixes to minires so that updates of KEY records will work.
3327
3328- contrib/ms2isc was updated by Shu-Min Chang of the Intel Corporation.
3329 see contrib/ms2isc/readme.txt for revision notes.
3330
3331- Dhclient no longer uses shell commands to kill another instance of
3332 itself, it sends the signal directly. Thanks to a patch from Martin
3333 Blapp.
3334
3335- The FreeBSD dhclient-script was changed so that a failure to write to
3336 /etc/resolv.conf does not prematurely end the script. This keeps dhclient
3337 from looping infinitely when this is the case. Thanks to a patch from
3338 Martin Blapp.
3339
3340- A patch from Bill Stephens was applied which resolves a problem with lease
3341 expiry times in failover configurations.
3342
3343- A memory leak in configuration parsing was closed thanks to a patch from
3344 Steve G.
3345
3346- The function which discovers interfaces will now skip non-broadcast or
3347 point-to-point interfaces, thanks to a patch from David Brownlee.
3348
3349- Options not yet known by the dhcpd or dhclient have had their names
3350 changed such that they do not contain # symbols, in case they should ever
3351 appear in a lease file. An option that might have been named "#144" is
3352 now "unknown-144".
3353
3354- Another patch from Bill Stephens which allows the ping-check timeout to
3355 be configured as 'ping-timeout'. Defaults to 1.
3356
3357 Changes since 3.0.1rc10
3358
3359- Potential buffer overflows in minires repaired.
3360
3361- A change to the linux client script to use /bin/bash, since /bin/sh may
3362 not be bash.
3363
3364- Some missing va_end cleanups thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
3365
3366- A correction of boolean parsing syntax validation - some illegal syntaxes
3367 that worked before are now detected and produce errs, some legal syntaxes
3368 that errored before will now work properly.
3369
3370- Some search-and-replace errors that caused some options to change their
3371 names was repaired.
3372
3373- Shu-min Chang of the Intel corporation has contributed a perl script and
3374 module that converts the MS NT4 DHCP configuration to a ISC DHCP3
3375 configuration file.
3376
3377- Applied the remainder of the dhcpctl memory leak patch provided by Bill
3378 Squier at ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
3379
3380- Missing non-optional failover peer configurations will now result in a soft
3381 error rather than a null dereference.
3382
3383 Changes since 3.0.1rc9
3384
3385- A format string was corrected to fix compiler warnings.
3386
3387- A number of spelling corrections were made in the man pages.
3388
3389- The dhclient.conf.5 man page was changed to refer to do-forward-updates
3390 rather than a configuration option that doesn't exist.
3391
3392- A FreeBSD-specific bug in the interface removal handling was fixed.
3393
3394- A Linux-specific Token Ring detection problem was fixed.
3395
3396- Hashes removed from as-yet-unknown agent options, having those options
3397 appear in reality before we know about them will no longer produce
3398 self-corrupting lease databases.
3399
3400- dhclient will use the proper port numbers now when using the -g option.
3401
3402- A order-of-operations bug with 2 match clauses in 1 class statement is
3403 fixed thanks to a patch from Andrew Matheson.
3404
3405- Compilation problems on Solaris were fixed.
3406
3407- Compilation problems when built with DEBUG or DEBUG_PACKET were repaired.
3408
3409- A fix to the dhcp ack process which makes certain group options will be
3410 included in the first DHCPOFFER message was made thanks to a patch from
3411 Ling Gou.
3412
3413- A few memory leaks were repaired thanks to patches from Bill Squier at
3414 ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
3415
3416- A fix for shared-networks that sometimes give clients options for the
3417 wrong subnets (in particular, 'option routers') was applied, thanks to
3418 Ted Lemon for the patch.
3419
3420- Omshell's handling of dotted octets as values was changed such that dots
3421 one after the other produce zero values in the integer string.
3422
3423 Changes since 3.0.1rc8
3424
3425- Fix a format string vulnerability in the server that could lead to a
3426 remote root compromise (discovered by NGSEC Research Team, www.ngsec.com).
3427
3428- Add additional support for NetBSD/sparc64.
3429
3430- Fix a bug in the command-line parsing of the client. Also, resolve
3431 a memory leak.
3432
3433- Add better support for shells other than bash in the Linux client
3434 script.
3435
3436- Various build fixes for modern versions of FreeBSD and Linux.
3437
3438- Fix a bad bounds check when printing binding state names.
3439
3440- Clarify documentation about fixed-address and multiple addresses.
3441
3442- Fix a typo in the authoritative error message.
3443
3444- Make a log entry when we can't write a billing class.
3445
3446- Use conversion targets that are the right size on all architectures.
3447
3448- Increment the hop count when relaying.
3449
3450- Log a message when lease state is changed through OMAPI.
3451
3452- Don't rerun the shared_network when evaluating the pool.
3453
3454- Fix a reversed test in the parser.
3455
3456- Change the type of rbuf_max.
3457
3458- Make FTS_LAST a manifest constant to quiet warnings.
3459
3460 Changes since 3.0.1rc7
3461
3462- Fix two compiler warnings that are generated when compiling on Solaris
3463 with gcc. These stop the build, even though they weren't actually
3464 errors, because we prefer that our builds generate no warnings.
3465
3466 Changes since 3.0.1rc6
3467
3468- Don't allow a lease that's in the EXPIRED, RELEASED or RESET state
3469 to be renewed.
3470
3471- Implement lease stealing for cases where the primary has fewer leases
3472 than the secondary, as called for by the standard.
3473
3474- Add a fudge factor to the lease expiry acceptance code, (suggested
3475 by Kevin Miller of CMU).
3476
3477- Fix a bug in permit_list_match that made it much too willing to say
3478 that two permit lists matched.
3479
3480- Unless DEBUG_DNS_UPDATES is defined, print more user-friendly (and
3481 also more compact) messages about DNS updates.
3482
3483- Fix a bug in generating wire-format domain names for the FQDN option.
3484
3485- Fix a bug where the FQDN option would not be returned if the client
3486 requested it, contrary to the standard.
3487
3488- On Darwin, use the FreeBSD DHCP client script.
3489
3490- On NetBSD/sparc, don't check for casting warnings.
3491
3492- Add a flag in the DHCP client to disable updating the client's A
3493 record when sending an FQDN option indicating that the client is
3494 going to update its A record.
3495
3496- In the client, don't attempt a DNS update until one second after
3497 configuring the new IP address, and if the update times out, keep
3498 trying until a response, positive or negative, is received from the
3499 DNS server.
3500
3501- Fix an uninitialized memory bug in the DHCP client.
3502
3503- Apply some FreeBSD-specific bug fixes suggested by Murray Stokely.
3504
3505- Fix a bug in ns_parserr(), where it was returning the wrong sort
3506 of result code in some cases (suggested by Ben Harris of the
3507 NetBSD project).
3508
3509- Fix a bug in is_identifier(), where it was checking against EOF
3510 instead of the END_OF_FILE token (also suggested by Ben Harris).
3511
3512- Fix a bug where if an option universe contained no options, the
3513 DHCP server could dump core (Walter Steiner).
3514
3515- Fix a bug in the handling of encapsulated options.
3516
3517- Fix a bug that prevented NWIP suboptions from being processed.
3518
3519- Delete the FTS_BOOTP and FTS_RESERVED states and implement them
3520 as modifier flags to the FTS_ACTIVE state, as called for in the
3521 failover protocol standard.
3522
3523- Fix bugs in the pool merging code that resulted in references and
3524 dereferences of null pointers. This bug had no impact unless the
3525 POINTER_DEBUG flag was defined.
3526
3527- In the server, added a do-forward-updates flag that can be used to
3528 disable forward updates in all cases, so that sites that want the
3529 clients to take sole responsibility for updating their A record can
3530 do so.
3531
3532- Make it possible to disable optimization of PTR record updates.
3533
3534 Changes since 3.0.1rc5
3535
3536- Include some new documentation and changes provided by Karl Auer.
3537
3538- Add a workaround for some Lexmark printers that send a double-NUL-
3539 terminated host-name option, which would break DNS updates.
3540
3541- Fix an off-by-one error in the MAC-address checking code for
3542 DHCPRELEASE that was added in 3.0.1rc5.
3543
3544- Fix a bug where client-specific information was not being discarded
3545 from the lease when it expired or was released, resulting in
3546 problems if the lease was reallocated to a different client.
3547
3548- If more than one allocation pool is specified that has the same set
3549 of constraints as another allocation pool on the same shared
3550 network, merge the two pools.
3551
3552- Don't print an error in fallback_discard, since this just causes
3553 confusion and does not appear to be helping to encourage anyone to
3554 fix this bug.
3555
3556 Changes since 3.0.1rc4
3557
3558- Fix a bug that would cause the DHCP server to spin if asked to parse
3559 a certain kind of incorrect statement.
3560
3561- Fix a related bug that would prevent an error from being reported in
3562 the same case.
3563
3564- Additional documentation.
3565
3566- Make sure that the hardware address matches the lease when
3567 processing a DHCPRELEASE message.
3568
3569 Changes since 3.0.1rc3
3570
3571- A minor bug fix in the arguments to a logging function call.
3572- Documentation update for dhcpd.conf.
3573
adbef119 3574 Changes since 3.0.1rc2
98311e4b
DH
3575
3576- Allow the primary to send a POOLREQ message. This isn't what the current
3577 failover draft says to do, so we may have to back it out if I can't get the
3578 authors to relent, but the scheme for balancing that's specified in the
3579 current draft seems needlessly hairy, so I'm floating a trial balloon.
3580 The rc1 code did not implement the method described in the draft either.
3581
adbef119 3582 Changes since 3.0.1rc1
98311e4b
DH
3583
3584- Treat NXDOMAIN and NXRRSET as success when we are trying to delete a
3585 domain or RRSET. This allows the DHCP server to forget about a name
3586 it added to the DNS once it's been removed, even if the DHCP server
3587 wasn't the one that removed it.
3588
3589- Install defaults for failover maximum outstanding updates and maximum
3590 silent time. This prevents problems that might occur if these values
3591 were not configured.
3592
3593- Don't do DDNS deletes if ddns-update-style is none.
3594
3595- Return relay agent information options in DHCPNAK. This prevents DHCPNAK
3596 messages from being dropped when the relay agent information option contains
3597 routing information.
3598
3599- Fix a problem where coming up in recover wouldn't result in an update
3600 request being sent.
3601
3602- Add some more chatty messages when we start a recovery update and when it's
3603 done.
3604
3605- Fix a possible problem where some state might have been left around
3606 after the peer lost contact and regained contact about how many updates
3607 were pending.
3608
3609- Don't nix a lease update because of a lease conflict. This test has
3610 never (as far as I know) prevented a mistake, and it appears to cause
3611 problems with failover.
3612
3613- Add support in rc history code for keeping a selective history, rather
3614 than a history of all references and dereferences. This code is only used
3615 when extensive additional debugging is enabled.
3616
adbef119 3617 Changes since 3.0
98311e4b
DH
3618
3619- Make allocators for hash tables. As a side effect, this fixes a memory
3620 smash in the subclass allocation code.
3621
3622- Fix a small bug in omshell where if you try to close an object when
3623 no object is open, it dumps core.
3624
3625- Fix an obscure coredump that could occur on shutdown.
3626
3627- Fix a bug in the recording of host declaration rubouts in the lease file.
3628
3629- Fix two potential spins in the host deletion code.
3630
3631- Fix a core dump that would happen if an application tried to update
3632 a host object attribute with a null value.
3633
3634 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 12
3635
3636- Fix a memory leak in the evaluation code.
3637
3638- Fix an obscure core dump.
3639
3640- Print a couple of new warnings when parsing the configuration file
3641 when crucial information is left out.
3642
3643- Log "no free leases" as an error.
3644
3645- Documentation updates.
3646
3647 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 11
3648
3649- Always return a subnet selection option if one is sent.
3650
3651- Fix a warning that was being printed because an automatic data
3652 structure wasn't zeroed.
3653
3654- Fix some failover state transitions that were being handled
3655 incorrectly.
3656
3657- When supersede_lease is called on a lease whose end time has already
3658 expired, but for which a state transition has not yet been done, do
3659 a state transition. This fixes the case where if the secondary
3660 allocated a lease to a client and the lease "expired" while the
3661 secondary was in partner-down, no expiry event would actually
3662 happen, so the lease would remain active until the primary was
3663 restarted.
3664
3665 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 10
3666
3667- Fix a bug that was preventing released leases from changing state
3668 in failover-enabled pools.
3669
3670- Fix a core dump in the client identifier finder code (for host
3671 declarations).
3672
3673- Finish fixing a bug where bogus data would sometimes get logged to
3674 the dhclient.leases file because it was opened as descriptor 2.
3675
3676- Fix the Linux dhclient-script according to suggestions made by
3677 several people on the dhcp-client mailing list.
3678
3679- Log successful DNS updates at LOG_INFO, not LOG_ERROR.
3680
3681- Print an error message and refuse to run if a failover peer is
3682 defined but not referenced by any pools.
3683
3684- Correct a confusing error message in failover.
3685

3698 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8 Patchlevel 1
3699
3700- Fix a parsing bug that broke dns updates (both interim and ad-hoc).
3701 This was introduced in rc8pl1 as an unintended result of the memory
3702 leakage fixes that were in pl1.
3703
3704- Fix a long-standing bug where the server would record that an update
3705 had been done for a client with no name, even though no update had
3706 been done, and then when the client's lease expired the deletion of
3707 that nonexistant record would time out because the name was the null
9a111ee8 3708 string.
d758ad8c
TL
3709
3710- Clean up the omshell, dhcpctl and omapi man pages a bit.

3712 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8
3713
3714- Fix a bug that could cause the DHCP server to spin if
3715 one-lease-per-client was enabled.
3716
3717- Fix a bug that was causing core dumps on BSD/os in the presence of
3718 malformed packets.
3719
3720- In partner-down state, don't restrict lease lengths to MCLT.
3721
3722- On the failover secondary, record the MCLT received from the primary
3723 so that if we come up without a connection to the primary we don't
3724 wind up giving out zero-length leases.
3725
3726- Fix some compilation problems on BSD/os.
3727
3728- Fix a bunch of memory leaks.
3729
3730- Fix a couple of bugs in the option printer.
3731
3732- Fix an obscure error reporting bug in the dns update code, and also
3733 make the message clearer when a key algorithm isn't supported.
3734
3735- Fix a bug in the tracing code that prevented trace runs that used
3736 tcp connections from being played back.
3737
3738- Add some additional debugging capability for catching memory leaks
3739 on exit.
3740
3741- Make the client release the lease correctly on shutdown.
3742
3743- Add some configurability to the build system.
3744
3745- Install omshell manual page in man1, not man8.
3746
3747- Craig Gwydir sent in a patch that fixes a long-standing bug in the
3748 DHCP client that could cause core dumps, but that for some reason
3749 hadn't been noticed until now.
3750
3751 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 7
3752
3753- Fix a bug in failover where we weren't sending updates after a
3754 transition from communications-interrupted to normal.
3755
3756- Handle expired/released/reset -> free transition according to the
3757 protocol specification (this works - the other way not only wasn't
3758 conformant, but also didn't work).
3759
3760- Add a control object in both client and server that allows either
3761 daemon to be shut down cleanly.
3762
3763- When writing a lease, if we run out of disk space, shut down the
3764 output file and insist on writing a new one before proceeding.
3765
3766- In the server, if the OMAPI listener port is occupied, keep trying
3767 to get it, rather than simply giving up and exiting.
3768
3769- Support fetching variables from leases and also updating and adding
3770 variables to leases via OMAPI.
3771
3772- If two failover peers have wildly different clocks, refuse to start
3773 doing failover.
3774
3775- Fix a bug in the DNS update code that could cause core dumps when
3776 running on alpha processors.
3777
3778- Fixed a bug in ddns updates for static lease entries, thanks to a
3779 patch from Andrey M Linkevitch.
3780
3781- Add support for Darwin/MacOS X
3782
3783- Install omshell (including new documentation).
3784
3785- Support DNS updates in the client (this is a very obscure feature
3786 that most DHCP client users probably will not be able to use).
3787
3788- Somewhat cleaner status logging in the client.
3789
3790- Make OMAPI key naming syntax compatible with the way keys are
3791 actually named (key names are domain names).
3792
3793- Fix a bug in the lease file writer.
3794
3795- Install DHCP ISC headers in a different place than BIND 9 ISC
3796 headers, to avoid causing trouble in BIND 9 builds.

3802 statements.

3804- Handle disconnects in OMAPI a little bit more intelligently (so that
3805 the caller gets ECONNRESET instead of EINVAL).
3806

3808 leases when the try to renew their leases while failover is
3809 operating.

3814 a client that had a host declaration that contained both a
3815 fixed-address declaration and a dhcp-client-identifier option
3816 declaration, if the client identifier was longer than nine bytes.

3826 chains from having their reference counts decreased on dereference.
3827

3829 chains from being freed upon removal of the last reference external
3830 to the chain.

3848 DHCPDECLINE.
3849
3850- Fix failover peer OMAPI support.
3851
3852- In failover, correctly handle expiration of leases. Previously,
3853 leases would never be reclaimed because they couldn't make the
3854 transition from EXPIRED to FREE.
3855

3861 stashing code that was preventing REBINDING clients from rebinding.

3864 processing if the lease belongs to the other server.

3908 committed to be consistent with lease binding states rather than
98311e4b 3909 using the lease end time. This may fix some problems with the

3910 billing class code.
3911
3912- Fix a bug where lease updates would fail on Digital Unix (and maybe
3913 others) because malloc was called with a size of zero.

TL
3920- Fix the dhcp_failover_put_message to not attempt to allocate a
3921 zero-length buffer. Some versions of malloc() fail if you try to
3922 allocate a zero-length buffer, and this was causing problems on,
3923 e.g., Digital Unix.
3924
3925- Fix a case where the failover code was printing an error message
3926 when no error had occurred.
3927
3928- Fix a problem where when a server went down and back up again, the
3929 peer would not see a state transition and so would stay in the
3930 non-communicating state.
3931
3932- Be smart about going into recover_wait.
3933
3934- Fix a problem in the failover implementation where peers would fail
3935 to come into sync if interrupted in the RECOVER state. This could
3936 have been the cause of some problems people have reported recently.
3937
3938- Fix a problem with billing classes where they would not be unbilled
3939 when the client lease expired.
3940
3941- If select fails, figure out which descriptor is bad, and cut it out
3942 of the I/O loop. This prevents a potentially nasty spin. I
3943 haven't heard any report it in a while, but it came up consistently
3944 in testing.
3945
3946- Fix a bug in the relay agent where if you specified interfaces on
3947 the command line, it would fail.
3948

3950 user impact).
3951

3955 they're executable.

3968 Compaq Alpha systems. This patchlevel is not a release candidate
3969 because of this bug. The bug should be straightforward to fix, so
3970 a new release candidate is expected shortly.

3997 checked. This may have been causing core dumps.
3998
3999- When parsing the lease file, if a lease declaration includes a
4000 billing class statement, and the lease already has a billing class,
4001 unbill the old class.
4002
4003- When processing failover transactions, where acks will be deferred,
4004 process the state transition immediately.
4005
4006- Don't try to use the new SIOCGIFCONF buffer size detection code on
4007 Linux 2.0, which doesn't provide this functionality.
4008

4013- Fix a parse error in the client when setting up an omapi listener.
4014
4015- Document the -n and -g flags to the client.
4016
4017- Make sure there is always a stdin and stdout on startup. This
4018 prevents shell scripts from accidentally writing error messages into
4019 configuration files that happen to be opened as stderr.
4020
4021- If an interface is removed, the client will now notice that it is
4022 gone rather than spinning. This has only been tested on NetBSD.
4023
4024- The client will attempt to get an address even if it can't create a
4025 lease file.
4026
4027- Don't overwrite tracefiles.
4028

4072- Implement omshell, which can be used to do arbitrary things to the
4073 server (in theory). (Damien Neil)
4074
4075- Fix a case where if a client had two different leases the server could
4076 actually dereference the second one when it hadn't been referenced,
4077 leading to memory corruption and a core dump. (James Brister)
4078
4079- Fix a case where a client could request the address of another client's
4080 lease, but find_lease wouldn't detect that the other client had it, and
4081 would attempt to allocate it to the client, resulting in a lease conflict
4082 message.
4083
4084- Fix a case where a client with more than one client identifier could be
4085 given a lease where the hardware address was correct but the client
4086 identifier was not, resulting in a lease conflict message.
4087
98311e4b 4088- Fix a problem where the server could write out a colon-separated
3350f5b7
TL
4089 hex list as a value for a variable, which would then not parse.
4090 The fix is to always write strings as quoted strings, with any
4091 non-printable characters quoted as octal escape sequences. So
4092 a file written the old way still won't work, but new files written
4093 this way will work.

4095- Fix documentation for sending non-standard options.
4096
4097- Use unparsable names for unknown options. WARNING: this will
4098 break any configuration files that use the option-nnn convention.
4099 If you want to continue to use this convention for some options,
4100 please be sure to write a definition, like this:
4101
4102 option option-nnn code nnn = string;
4103
4104 You can use a descriptive name instead of option-nnn if you like.
4105
4106- Fix a problem where we would see a DHCPDISCOVER/DHCPOFFER/
4107 DHCPREQUEST/DHCPACK/DHCPREQUEST/DHCPNAK sequence. This was the
4108 result of a deceptively silly bug in supersede_lease.
4109

4111 Hermann Lauer.

TL
4123- Add support for transaction tracing. This allows the state of the
4124 DHCP server on startup, and all the subsequent transactions, to be
4125 recorded in a file which can then be played back to reproduce the
4126 behaviour of the DHCP server. This can be used to quickly
4127 reproduce bugs that cause core dumps or corruption, and also for
4128 tracking down memory leaks.
4129
4130- Incorporate some bug fixes provided by Joost Mulders for the DLPI
4131 package which should clear up problems people have been seeing on
4132 Solaris.
4133
4134- Fix bugs in the handling of options stored as linked lists (agent
4135 options, fqdn options and nwip options) that could cause memory
4136 corruption and core dumps.
4137
4138- Fix a bug in DHCPREQUEST handling that resulted in DHCPNAK messages
4139 not being send in some cases when they were needed.

4184- Finish fixing a long-standing bug in the agent options code. This
4185 was causing core dumps and failing to operate correctly - in
4186 particular, agent option stashing wasn't working. Agent option
4187 stashing should now be working, meaning that agent options can be
4188 used in class statements to control address allocation.
4189

4197- Fix a compile error on some older operating systems.

4200 transmitting packets to the server. Handy for debugging; not much
4201 practical use otherwise.

4212- Work around the Win98 DHCP client, which NUL-terminates the FQDN
4213 option.

4216 the update even when they don't have any way to do it.
4217
4218- Fix some log messages that can be printed when failover is operating
4219 that were not printing enough information.
4220
4221- It was possible for a DHCPDISCOVER to get an allocation even when
4222 the state machine said the server shouldn't be responding.
4223
4224- Don't load balance DHCPREQUESTs from clients in RENEWING and
4225 REBINDING, since in RENEWING, if we heard it, it's for us, and in
4226 REBINDING, the client wouldn't have got to REBINDING if its primary
4227 were answering.

4240 decoder that would prevent any key with an 'x' in its base64
4241 representation from working correctly.
4242
4243- Thanks to Chris Cheney and Michael Sanders, we have a fix for the
4244 hang that they both spotted in the DHCP server - when
4245 one-lease-per-client was set, the code to release the "other" lease
4246 could spin.
4247
4248- Fix a problem with alignment of the input buffer in bpf in cases
4249 where two packets arrive in the same bpf read.
4250
4251- Fix a problem where the relay agent would crash if you specified an
4252 interface name on the command line.
4253
4254- Add the ability to conditionalize client behaviour based on the
4255 client state.
4256
4257- Add support for the FQDN option, and added support for a new way of
4258 doing ddns updates (ddns update style interim) that allows more than
4259 one DHCP server to update the DNS for the same network(s). This
4260 was implemented by Damien Neil with some additional functionality
4261 added by Ted Lemon.
4262
4263- Damien added a "log" statement, so that the configuration file can
4264 be made to log debugging information and other information.
4265
4266- Fixed a bug that caused option buffers not to be terminated with an
4267 end option.
4268
4269- Fixed a long-standing bug in the support for option spaces where the
4270 options are stored as an ordered list rather than in a hash table,
4271 which could theoretically result in memory pool corruption.
4272
4273- Prevent hardware declarations with no actual hardware address from
4274 being written as something unparsable, and behave correctly in the
4275 face of a null hardware address on input.
4276
4277- Allow key names to be FQDNs, and qualify the algorithm name if it is
4278 specified unqualified.
4279
4280- Modify the DDNS update code so that it never prints the "resolver
4281 failed" message, but instead says *why* the resolver failed.

4284 RFC.

4323- Never select for more than a day, because some implementations of
4324 select will just fail if the timeout is too long (!).
4325
4326- Fix a case where a DHCPDISCOVER from an unknown network would be
4327 silently dropped.
4328
4329- Fix a bug where if a client requested an IP address for which a different
4330 client had the lease, the DHCP server would reallocate it anyway.
4331
4332- Fix the DNS update code so that if the client changes its name, the DNS
4333 will be correctly updated.

TL
4346- Fix a possible DoS attack where a client could cause the checksummer
4347 to dump core. This was a read, not a write, so it shouldn't be
4348 possible to exploit it any further than that.
4349
4350- Implement client- and server-side support for using the Client FQDN
4351 option.
4352
4353- Support for other option spaces in the client has been added. This
4354 means that it is now possible to define a vendor option space on the
4355 client, request options in that space from the server (which must
4356 define the same option space), and then use those options in the
4357 client. This also allows NWIP and Client FQDN options to be used
4358 meaningfully.
4359
4360- Add object initializer support. This means that objects can now be
4361 initialized to something other than all-zeros when allocated, which
4362 makes, e.g., the interface object support code a little more robust.
4363
4364- Fix an off-by-one bug in the host stuffer. This was causing host
4365 deletes not the work, and may also have been causing OMAPI
4366 connections to get dropped. Thanks to James Brister for tracking
4367 this one down!
4368
4369- Fixed a core dump in the interface discovery code that is triggered
4370 when there is no subnet declaration for an interface, but the server
4371 decides to continue running. Thanks to Shane Kerr for tracking
4372 down and fixing this problem.

TL
4376- Fix a bug in the recent enhancement to the interface discovery code
4377 to support arbitrary-length interface lists.
4378
4379- Support NUL-terminated DHCP options when initializing client-script
4380 environment.
4381
4382- Fix suffix operator.
4383
4384- Fix NetWare/IP option parsing.
4385
4386- Better error/status checking in dhcpctl initialization and omapi
4387 connection code.
4388
4389- Fix a potential memory smash in dhcpctl code.
4390
4391- Fix SunOS4 and (maybe) Ultrix builds.
4392
4393- Fix a bug where a certain sort of incoming packet could cause a core
4394 dump on Solaris (and probably elsewhere).
4395
4396- Add some more safety checks in error logging code.
4397
4398- Add support for ISC_R_INCOMPLETE in OMAPI protocol connection code.
4399
4400- Fix relay agent so that if an interface is specified on the command
4401 line, the relay agent does not dump core.
4402
4403- Fix class matching so that match if can be combined with match or
4404 spawn with.
4405
4406- Do not allow spurious leases in the lease database to introduce
4407 potentially bogus leases into the in-memory database.
4408
4409- Fix a byte-order problem in the client hardware address type code
4410 for OMAPI.
4411
4412- Be slightly less picky about what sort of hardware addresses OMAPI
4413 can install in host declarations.

4415 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 4
4416
4417- Incorporated Peter Marschall's proposed change to array/record
4418 parsing, which allows things like the slp-agent option to be encoded
4419 correctly. Thanks very much to Peter for taking the initiative to
4420 do this, and for doing such a careful job of it (e.g., updating the
4421 comments)!
4422
4423- Added an encoding for the slp-agent option. :')

4425- Fixed SunOS 4 build. Thanks to Robert Elz for responding to my
4426 request for help on this with patches!
4427
4428- Incorporated a change that should fix a problem reported by Philippe
4429 Jumelle where when the network connection between two servers is
4430 lost, they never reconnect.
4431
4432- Fix client script files other than that for NetBSD to actually use
4433 make_resolv_conf as documented in the manual page.
4434
4435- Fix a bug in the packet handling code that could result in a core
4436 dump.
4437
4438- Fix a bug in the bootp code where responses on the local net would
4439 be sent to the wrong MAC address. Thanks to Jerry Schave for
4440 catching this one.

4442 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 3
4443
4444- In the DHCP client, execute client statements prior to using the values
45d545f0 4445 of options, so that the client configuration can overridden, e.g., the
490eb5e7
TL
4446 lease renewal time.
4447
4448- Fix a reference counting error that would result in very reproducible
4449 failures in updates, as well as occasional core dumps, if a zone was
4450 declared without a key.
4451
4452- Fix some Linux 2.0 compilation problems.
4453
4454- Fix a bug in scope evaluation during execution of "on" statements that
4455 caused values not to be recorded on leases.
4456
4457- If the dhcp-max-message-size option is specified in scope, and the
4458 client didn't send this option, use the one specified in scope to
4459 determine the maximum size of the response.

4469- Fix a place dhcprequest() where static leases could leak.
4470
4471- Include memory.h in omapip_p.h so that we don't get warnings about
4472 using memcmp().

4476- Notice when SIOCFIGCONF returns more data than fit in the buffer -
4477 allocate a larger buffer, and retry. Thanks to Greg Fausak for
4478 pointing this out.
4479
4480- In the server, if no interfaces were configured, report an error and
4481 exit.
4482
4483- Don't ever record a state of 'startup'.
4484
4485- Don't try to evaluate the local failover binding address if none was
4486 specified. Thanks to Joseph Breu for finding this.
