d618ba48 41 Changes since 4.3.0 (new features)
1e08558f 42
0ee00c5b
SR
43- Insert the raw data from a fully encapsualted option into the option cache.
44 This allows "exists" to check for the option if any sub options exist. It
45 also adds the raw data to the environment variables supplied to the client
46 script.
47 [ISC-Bugs #39863]
48
a53c9bf2
FD
49- Pass configure arguments which begin with an upper case letter, e.g.
50 CFLAGS, to the embedded bind configure, so it is no longer required
51 to use environment variables to get the same effect.
52 [ISC-Bugs #35143]
53
81f844d2
FD
54- Added --enable-kqueue, --enable-epoll, --enable-devpoll and a more
55 general --with-bind-extra-config to pass extra options to the
56 embedded bind configure. Note we had mixed experiences with this
54ee18cf 57 so it is at the user risk, i.e., they are NOT SUPPORTED yet.
f285576d 58 [ISC-Bugs #20890]
81f844d2 59
53c7a535
FD
60- Changed the way the embedded bind Makefile is updated by configure.
61 The only user visible side effect is that --with-libbind now requires
62 either "no" or an (absolute) path, i.e. "yes" is no longer valid.
63 [ISC-Bugs #43227]
64
d163c8f7
TM
65- Added the support for git repositories in the util/bind.sh script.
66 When you build ISC DHCP from a git repo, i.e., without a "bind"
67 directory populated as in the release distribution file, you may now
4b914743
FD
68 create the bind directory, change to it and clone the private
69 (repo.isc.org/proj/git/prod/bind9.git) or the public
290a7613 70 (https://source.isc.org/git/bind9.git) git repository into
d163c8f7 71 bind/bind9 and then invoke the util/bind.sh script as usual.
c4ea4af0
FD
72 Note this option is incompatible with "make dist" (and make "distcheck")
73 because no bind/bind.tar.gz nor bind/version.tmp files are available.
4b914743
FD
74 [ISC-Bugs #43236]
75
e94e7f23
FD
76- Use the embedded bind libraries where they are built (vs where they
77 are installed).
78 [ISC-Bugs #39319]
79
a1372bbe
FD
80- Use last version (9.11) of plain embedded bind libraries in place of
81 older (9.9) version of export bind libraries.
82 [ISC-Bugs #43215]
83
5a2e8c37 84- Using "make distcheck" now works with external bind libraries (aka
c4ea4af0
FD
85 configure --with-libbind).
86 [ISC-Bugs #43285]
87
3210786b
TM
88- The server now allows the client identifier (option 61) to own leases
89 in more than one subnet concurrently. Prior to this the server would
90 incorrectly release an existing lease in one subnet prior to assigning
91 a lease in another subnet. Note that the prior behavior can be still
92 be achieved by enabling one-lease-per-client. Thanks to both David Zych at
93 the University of Illinois and Norm Proffitt of Infoblox for reporting
94 the issue; and Norm for suggesting a solution.
95 [ISC-Bugs #41358]
96
f9741514
FD
97- Added --enable-bind-install to install embedded bind includes and
98 libraries. Default is to not install them (it was the previous
99 behavior). If you'd like to change the includedir and/or libdir
5a67b030
FD
100 installation directories to something different than for ISC DHCP
101 you must pass them using the --with-bind-extra-config configuration
102 arguments.
f9741514
FD
103 [ISC-Bugs #39318]
104
007ba82a
FD
105- Added support of dynamic shared libraries with libtool. A new
106 --enable-libtool configuration parameter is available but
107 should not be used directly: *please* read the build configuration
108 section in the README file for the recommended procedure.
109 [ISC-Bugs #29402]
110
417b7b4a
TM
111- IPv6 operation now supports an EUI-64 based address allocation which will
112 calculate addresses for clients with EUI-64 DUIDs based on those DUIDs when
113 enabled by setting use-eui-64 true. The parameter may defined down to the
114 pool scope. Note this feature must be compiled in by defining EUI_64 in
115 includes/site.h. This flag is undefined by default.
116 [ISC-Bugs #43927]
117
c8f0b32a
MS
118- Added new compile time option --with-srv-conf-file which specifies a
119 default location of the server configuration file.
120 [ISC-Bugs #44765]
121
a68ec967
MS
122- Added --dad-wait-time parameter to dhclient. It specifies the maximum time,
123 in seconds, that the client process should wait for the duplicate address
124 detection to complete before initiating DHCP requests. This value is
125 propagated to the dhclient script and the script is responsible for waiting
126 the specified amount of time or until DAD has completed. If the script does
127 not support it, specifying this parameter has no effect. The default value
128 is 0 which specifies that the script should not wait for DAD. With this
129 change the following scripts have been modified to support the new parameter:
130 freebsd, linux, macos, netbsd, openbsd.
131 [ISC-Bugs #36169]
132
251bb4b9 133- Modified DDNS support initialization such that DNS related ports will only be
ca22af89
TM
134 opened by the server (dhcpd) at startup if ddns-update-style is not "none";
135 by dhclient only if and when the it first attempts an update; and never by
136 dhcrelay. Prior to this all three always did the initialization at startup
137 which causes them to always open on and listen for traffic on two random
ff343a30 138 ports. Thanks to Rodney Beede for reporting the issue.
ca22af89
TM
139 [ISC-Bugs #45290]
140 [ISC-Bugs #33377]
141
8c785e79
TM
142- Added error logging to two memory allocation failure checks. Thanks to Bill
143 Parker (wp02855 at gmail dot com) for reporting the issue.
144 [ISC-Bugs #41185]
145
251bb4b9 146- Corrected a dhclient -6 issue that caused the client to crash with an
147 "Impossible condition" error after de-preferencing its only IA binding.
148 The crash occurred when server configuration changes rendered the existing
01bfe9c5
TM
149 binding out-of-range and no other leases were available to offer. Thanks
150 to Pierre Clerissi for bringing this issue to our attention.
251bb4b9 151 [ISC-Bugs #44373]
152
5c03ed37 153- By defining CALL_SCRIPT_ON_ONETRY_FAIL in includes/site.h, dhclient will
154 now call the script with reason set to FAIL when run with -1 (one try) and
155 there are no server responses. This applies to IPv4 mode only. Thanks for a
156 patch by Martin Pitt which got to us via Andrew Pollock.
a489cc48
TM
157 [ISC-bugs #18183]
158
6573afff 159- Linux script updated. The script is now based on Debian version. It uses
fbe81d8e
TM
160 ip tool from iproute2 package and ifconfig is no longer used. This also
161 addresses an issue of calling arping with inappropriate parameter.
6573afff 162 [ISC-bugs #19430]
fbe81d8e 163 [ISC-bugs #18111]
6573afff 164
30afd7db 165- The directory minires has been removed from the source tree. It has
c1beb003 166 long been obsolete for branches other than v4_1_esv. Additionally,
30afd7db
TM
167 includes/minires.h was renamed includes/ns_name.h.
168 [ISC-bugs #45471]
169
b3e6fd51
TM
170- The directory includes/isc-dhcp and it's only occupant, dst.h, have
171 been removed from the source tree. They are obsolete for branches
172 other than v4_1_esv.
173 [ISC-bugs #45541]
174
7512d88b
TM
175- Replaced ISC licensing with Mozilla Public License, MPL 2.0 licensing
176 throughout. Please see https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/MPL/2.0/ to read
177 the MPL 2.0 license terms.

240 In addition to checking for dhcpc check for bootpc in the services list.
241 [ISC-Bugs #18933]
242 Correct the client code to only try to get a lease once when the
243 given the "-1" argument.
244 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the bug report and fix.
245 [ISC-Bugs #26735]
246 When asked for the version don't send the output to syslog.
247 [ISC-Bugs #29772]
248 Add the next server information to the environment variables for
249 use by the client script. In order to avoid changing the client
250 lease file the next server information isn't written to it.
251 Thanks to Tomas Hozza at Red Hat for the suggestion and a prototype fix.
252 [ISC-Bugs #33098]
21f3982a 253
d618ba48
SR
254- Several updates to the dhcp server code.
255 When not in quiet mode print out the files being used.
256 [ISC-Bugs #17551]
257 As accessing some pid files may require privileges move the dropping
258 of permission bits due to the paranoia patch to be after the pid code.
259 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the bug report and fix.
260 [ISC-Bugs #25806]
261 When processing a "--version" request don't output the version information
262 to syslog.
33dca28a 263
d618ba48
SR
264- Add the "enable-log-pid" build option to the configure script. When enabled
265 this causes the client, server and relay programs to include the PID
266 number in syslog messages.
267 Thanks to Marius Tomaschewski for the suggestion and proto-patch.
268 [ISC-Bugs #29713]
33dca28a 269
d618ba48
SR
270- Add a #define to specify the prefix length used when a client attempts
271 to configure an address. This can be modified by editing includes/site.h.
272 By default it is set to 64. While 128 might be a better choice it would
273 also be a change for currently running systems, so we have left it at 64.
274 [ISC-Bugs #DHCP-2]
7da1ac2b 275
d618ba48
SR
276- Add a run time option to the client "-df" to allow the administrator to
277 point to a second lease file the client can search for a DUID. This can
278 be used to allow a v4 and a v6 instance of the client to share a DUID.
279 The second file will only be searched if there isn't a DUID in the main
280 lease file and the DUID will be written out to the main lease file.
281 [ISC-Bugs #34886]
e82906fc 282
d618ba48
SR
283- Have the client fsync the lease file to avoid lease corruption if the
284 client hibernates or otherwise shuts down.
285 [ISC-Bugs #35894]
20931f53 286
d618ba48
SR
287- Add a check for L2VLAN in bpf.c to help support VLAN interfaces
288 Thanks to Steinar Haug for the suggestion.
289 [ISC-Bugs #36033]
5cc6f201 290
d618ba48
SR
291- Modify the handling of the resolv.conf file to allow the DHCP
292 process to start up even if the resolv.conf file has problems.
293 [ISC-Bugs #35989]
88c3ff5d 294
d618ba48
SR
295- Add threshold logging functionality. Two new options,
296 log-threshold-low and log-threshold-high, indicate to the
297 server if and when it should log an error message as addresses
298 in a pool are used.
299 [ISC-Bugs #34487]
f10cbbfa 300
d618ba48
SR
301- Add code to properly dereference a pointer in the dhclient code
302 on an error condition.

308- Disable the gentle shutdown functionality until we can determine
309 the best way to present it to remove or reduce the side effects.
310 [ISC-Bugs #36066]
646acb59 311
d618ba48
SR
312- Modify the message displayed when a process hits a fatal error.
313 The new message is much shorter and simply points to the README
314 and our website for directions on bug submissions.
315 [ISC-Bugs #24789]
18ba0ff3 316
d618ba48
SR
317- Handle an absent resolv.conf file better.

d618ba48
SR
353- Server now supports a failover split value of 256.
354 [ISC-Bugs] #36664]
3e3b5257 355
d618ba48
SR
356- Remove unneeded error #defines. These defines were included in case
357 external programs required the older versions of the macro. They
358 have been #ifdeffed for now and will be removed at a future date.
359 See site.h for the #define to include them again, but you should
360 switch to using the DHCP_R_* versions instead of the ISC_R_* versions.
361 Also ISC_R_MULTIPLE has been removed as it is also defined in bind.
362 [ISC-Bugs #37128]
ba4c704d 363
d618ba48
SR
364- Added checks in range6 and prefix6 statement parsing to ensure addresses
365 are within the declared subnet. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the
366 bug report and patch.
367 [ISC-Bugs #32453]

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

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

408- In the failover code, handle the case of communications being interrupted
409 when the servers are dealing with POTENTIAL-CONFLICT. This patch allows
410 the primary to accept the secondary moving from POTENTIAL-CONFLICT to
411 RESOLUTION-INTERRUPTED as well as handling the bind update process better.
412 In addition the code to resend update or update all requests has been
413 modified to send requests more often.

417- By default, the server will now choose the value to use in the forward DNS
418 name from the following in order of preference:
1d3fc4d0 419
d618ba48

420 1. FQDN option if provided by the client

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

817- Option expressions, such as prepend and append, are now supported when
818 running dhclient for IPv6. Prior to this such statements in the
819 client configuration file would be parsed but have no affect. Thanks
820 to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for reporting the issue.

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

SR
848- The server will now match DHCPv6 relayed clients to host declarations
849 which include the "hardware" statement, if the relay connected to the
850 client supplies the client's hardware address via client-linklayer-address
851 option as per RFC 6939.

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

894- Add support for RFC 7341 DHCPv4 over DHCPv6 with a new configuration
895 option "--enable-dhcpv4o6". Note this feature requires DHCPv6 support
896 and is not compatible with delayed-ack. Both client and server use 2
897 processes which communicate over UDP on a pair of sockets. The new
898 "-4o6 <port>" command line argument enables DHCPv4 over DHCPv6 support
899 and specifies the consecutive ports to use for inter-process communication.

1081- DHCP6 FQDN option unpacking code now correctly handles values that contain
1082 spaces, special, or non-printable characters. Prior to this the buffer
c1beb003 1083 size needed was underestimated causing a conversion error message to

1088- When running in -6 mode, dhclient now enforces the require option statement
1089 and will discard offered leases that do not contain all the required
1090 options specified in the client configuration. Prior to this the client
1091 would still consider such leases. This may be disabled at compile time
1092 (see ENFORCE_DHCPV6_CLIENT_REQUIRE in includes/site.h). Thanks to

1097 OS systems when using -1 or large values for default-lease-time. Rollover
1098 values will be replaced with 0x7FFFFFFF - 1. This alleviates unintentionally
1099 short expiration times being handed out when infinite lease times (-1) in
c1beb003 1100 conjunction with failover. Our thanks to Alessandro Gherardi for bringing

SR
1142
1143- If a client renews before 'dhcp-cache-threshold' percent of its lease
1144 has elapsed (default 25%), the server will reuse the allocated lease
1145 (provide a lease within the currently allocated lease-time) rather
1146 than extend or renew the lease. This absolves the server of needing
1147 to perform an fsync() operation on the lease database before reply,
1148 which improves performance. [ISC-Bugs #22228]
80778e94 1149 Updated this patch to support asynchronous DDNS. If the server is
adb95d23 1150 attempting to do DDNS on a lease it should be updated and written to
4809ef5c 1151 disk even if that wouldn't be necessary due to the thresholding.

1158- A problem with missing get_hw_addr function when --enable-use-sockets
1159 was used is now solved on GNU/Linux, BSD and GNU/Hurd systems. Note
1160 that use-sockets feature was not tested on those systems. Client and

1164- Add a perl script in the contrib directory, dhcp-lease-list.pl, which
1165 can parse v4 lease files and output the lease information in a more
1166 human friendly manner. This was written by Christian Hammers with
1167 some updates by vom and ISC. This is contributed code and is not

1178 of DDNS entries between v4 and v6 clients. The new code is used
1179 if the ddns-update-style is set to "standard", the older code is
1180 still available if ddns-update-style is set to "interim". The

SR
1186- Add a configuration option to the server to suppress using fsync().
1187 Enabling this option will mean that fsync() is never called. This
1188 may provide better performance but there is also a risk that a lease
1189 will not be properly written to the disk after it has been issued
1190 to a client and before the server stops. Using this option is

1196 reading its files and is about to enter the dispatch loop.
1197 This is "Server starting service.".
1198 The second is emitted when a server determines that both it and

e54ff84f 1211- When doing DDNS if there isn't an appropriate zone statement attempt
80778e94 1212 to find a reasonable nameserver via a DNS resolver. This restores
e54ff84f
SR
1213 some functionality that was lost in the transition to asynchronous
1214 DDNS. Due to the lack of security and increase in fragility of the
1215 system when using this feature we strongly recommend the use of
1216 appropriate zone statements rather than using this functionality.
1217 [ISC-Bugs #30461]
1218
61ef216b
SR
1219- Add support for specifying the address from which to send
1220 DDNS updates on the DHCP server. There are two new options
1221 "ddns-local-address4" and "ddns-local-address6" that each take
1222 one instance of their respective address types.

SR
1225- Add ignore-client-uids option in the server. This option causes
1226 the server to not record a client's uid in its lease. This
1227 violates the specification but may also be useful when a client
1228 can dual boot using different client ids but the same mac address.

1250 is no longer truncated to one octet.

01a44a77 1257- Cleaned up some compiler warnings
7dc4e69c 1258
01a44a77
SR
1259- An optimization described in the failover protocol draft is now included,
1260 which permits a DHCP server operating in communications-interrupted state
1261 to 'rewind' a lease to the state most recently transmitted to its peer,
1262 greatly increasing a server's endurance in communications-interrupted.
1263 This is supported using a new 'rewind state' record on the dhcpd.leases
1264 entry for each lease.
c5bc8b1a 1265
01a44a77 1266- Fix the trace code which was broken by the changes to the DDNS code.
d0a10f6a 1267
01a44a77
SR
1268- Update the fsync code to work with the changes to the DDNS code. It now
1269 uses a timer instead of noticing if there are no more packets to process.
dc9d7b08 1270
01a44a77
SR
1271- When constructing the DNS name structure from a text string append
1272 the root to relative names. This satisfies a requirement in the DNS
1273 library that names be absolute instead of relative and prevents DHCP
1274 from crashing. [ISC-Bugs #21054]

01a44a77
SR
1276- "The LDAP Patch" that has been circulating for some time, written by
1277 Brian Masney and S.Kalyanasundraram and maintained for application to
1278 the DHCP-4 sources by David Cantrell has been included. Please be
1279 advised that these sources were contributed, and do not yet meet the
1280 high standards we place on production sources we include by default.
1281 As a result, the LDAP features are only included by using a compile-time
1282 option which defaults off, and if you enable it you do so under your
1283 own recognizance. We will be improving this software over time.

1289! Accept a client id of length 0 while hashing. Previously the server would
1290 exit if it attempted to hash a zero length client id, providing attackers

1296- Modify the exception handling for initial context creation. Previously
1297 we would try and clean up before exiting. This could present problems
1298 when the cleanup required part of the context that wasn't available. It
1299 also didn't do much as we exited afterwards anyway. Now we simply log
1300 the error and exit. [ISC-Bugs #21093]
ad4001ce 1301
01a44a77
SR
1302- A bug was fixed that could cause the DHCPv6 server to advertise/assign a
1303 previously allocated (active) lease to a client that has changed subnets,
1304 despite being on different shared networks. Dynamic prefixes specifically
1305 allocated in shared networks also now are not offered if the client has
1306 moved. [ISC-Bugs #21152]

1313- Modify the determination of the default TTL to use for DDNS updates.
1314 The user may still configure the ttl via ddns-ttl. The default for
1315 both v4 and v6 is now 1/2 the (preferred) lease time with a limit. The
1316 previous defaults (1/2 lease time without a limit for v4 and a default

1520- 'dhclient' no longer waits a random interval after first starting up to

1538 microseconds if the DHCP server provided a lease-time that would result
1539 in sub-1-second timers. This corrects a bug where a 2-second or lower

1785! Previously the server code was relaxed to allow packets with zero
1786 length client ids to be processed. Under some situations use of
1787 zero length client ids can cause the server to go into an infinite
1788 loop. As such ids are not valid according to RFC 2132 section 9.14
1789 the server no longer accepts them. Client ids with a length of 1
1790 are also invalid but the server still accepts them in order to
1791 minimize disruption. The restriction will likely be tightened in
1792 the future to disallow ids with a length of 1.

1936- Fix the socket handling for DHCPv6 clients to allow multiple instances
1937 of a client on a single machine to work properly. Previously only
1938 one client would receive the packets. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat
1939 for the bug report and a potential patch.

DH
1955- Failover port configuration can now be left to defaults (port 647) as
1956 described in the -12 revision of the Failover draft (and assigned by
4b97eaff 1957 IANA). Thanks in part to a patch from David Cantrell at Red Hat.
adbef119 1958

DH
1959- If configured, dhclient may now transmit to an anycast MAC address,
1960 rather than using a broadcast address. Thanks to a patch from David
1961 Cantrell at Red Hat.
1962
8a3c1e33
PS
1963- Added client support for setting interface MTU and metric, thanks to
1964 Roy "UberLord" Marples <roy@marples.name>.
1965
a41d7a25
PS
1966- Added client -D option to specify DUID type to send.
1967
9e3eb22a
DH
1968- A new failover configuration parameter has been introduced for those
1969 environments where DHCP servers can be reasonably guaranteed to be
1970 "down" when the failover TCP socket is severed, "auto-partner-down".
1971 This parameter is not generally safe, and by default is disabled, so
1972 please carefully review the documentation of this parameter in the
1973 dhcpd.conf(5) manpage before determining to use it yourself.
1974
33ea4622
DH
1975- Added a configuration function, 'gethostname()', which calls the system
1976 function of the same name and presents the results as a data expression.
1977 This function can be used to incorporate the system level hostname of
1978 the system the DHCP software is operating on in responses or queries (such
1979 as including a failover partner's hostname in a dhcp message or binding
1980 scope, or having a DHCP client send any system hostname in the host-name or
1981 FQDN options by default).
1982
5a671e87
DH
1983- The dhcp-renewal-time and dhcp-rebinding-time options may now be configured
1984 for DHCPv4 operation and used independently of the dhcp-lease-time
1985 calculations. Invalid renew and rebinding times (e.g., greater than the
1986 determined lease time) are omitted.
1987
adb95d23 1988- Processing the DHCP to DNS server transactions in an asynchronous fashion,
45adf35c 1989 the DHCP server or client can now continue with its processing while
98bf1607 1990 awaiting replies from the DNS server.
c900c5b2
DH
1991
1992- The 'hardware [ethernet|etc] ...;' parameter in host records has been
1993 extended to attempt to match DHCPv6 clients by the last octets of a
1994 DUID-LL or DUID-LLT provided by the client.

2001
47e6eb82
DH
2002- The notorious 'option <unknown> ... larger than buffer' log line,
2003 which is seen in some malformed DHCP client packets, was modified.
2004 It now logs the universe name, and does not log the length values
2005 (which are bogus corruption read from the packet anyway). It also
2006 carries a hopefully more useful explanation.
2007
159c89d7
EH
2008- Suppress spurious warnings from configure about --datarootdir
2009
1aa0fe5e
DH
2010- A bug was fixed that caused the server not to answer some valid Solicit
2011 and Request packets, if the dynamic range covering any requested addresses
2012 had been deleted from configuration.
2013
cd51403d
SR
2014- Update the code to deal with GCC 4.3. This included two sets of changes.
2015 The first is to the configuration files to include the use of
571c38b0 2016 AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS. The second is to deal with return values that
cd51403d

2022 free not on its queue' error messages, thanks to a patch from Frode
2023 Nordahl.

2025- Fix a build error in dhcrelay, using older versions of gcc with
2026 dhcpv6 disabled.

2031- Fixed a cosmetic bug where pretty-printing valid domain-search options would
2032 result in an erroneous error log message ('garbage in format string').
2033
f9453d21
DH
2034- A bug in DLPI packet transmission (Solaris, HP/UX) that caused the server
2035 to stop receiving packets is fixed. The same fix also means that the MAC
2036 address will no longer appear 'bogus' on DLPI-based systems.
2037
2038- A bug in select handling was discovered where the results of one select()
2039 call were discarded, causing the server to process the next select() call
2040 and use more system calls than required. This has been repaired - the
2041 sockets will be handled after the first return from select(), resulting in
2042 fewer system calls.
2043
a3dcc0b1
DH
2044- The update-conflict-detection feature would leave an FQDN updated without
2045 a DHCID (still currently implemented as a TXT RR). This would cause later
2046 expiration or release events to fail to remove the domain name. The feature
2047 now also inserts the client's up to date DHCID record, so records may safely
2048 be removed at expiration or release time. Thanks to a patch submitted by
2049 Christof Chen.
2050
95fd7038
DH
2051- Memory leak in the load_balance_mine() function is fixed. This would
2052 leak ~20-30 octets per DHCPDISCOVER packet while failover was in use
2053 and in normal state.
2054
2055- Various compilation fixes have been included for the memory related
2056 DEBUG #defines in includes/site.h.
2057
8a3c1e33
PS
2058- Fixed Linux client script 'unary operator expected' errors with DHCPv6.
2059
2060- Fixed setting hostname in Linux hosts that require hostname argument
2061 to be double-quoted. Also allow server-provided hostname to
2062 override hostnames 'localhost' and '(none)'.

DH
2064- Fixed failover reconnection retry code to continue to retry to reconnect
2065 rather than restarting the listener.

DH
2067- Compilation on Solaris with USE_SOCKETS defined in includes/site.h has
2068 been repaired. Other USE_ overrides should work better.
2069
2070- A check for the local flavor of IFNAMSIZ had a broken 'else' condition,
2071 that probably still resulted in the correct behaviour (but wouldn't use
2072 a larger defined value provided by the host OS).
2073
350576c5
DH
2074- Fixed a bug where an OMAPI socket disconnection message would not result
2075 in scheduling a failover reconnection, if the link had not negotiated a
2076 failover connect yet (e.g.: connection refused, asynch socket connect()
2077 timeouts).
2078

DH
2079- A bug was fixed that caused the 'conflict-done' state to fail to be parsed
2080 in failover state records.
2081
8a4e543b
DH
2082! A stack overflow vulnerability was fixed in dhclient that could allow
2083 remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands as root on the system,
2084 or simply terminate the client, by providing an over-long subnet-mask
1b12d999 2085 option. CERT VU#410676 - CVE-2009-0692
8a4e543b 2086

1b12d999
DH
2090- Versions 3.0.x syntax with multiple name->code option definitions is now
2091 supported. Note that, similarly to 3.0.x, for by-code lookups only the
2092 last option definition is used.
2093
d453265f
PS
2094- Fixed a bug where a time difference of greater than 60 seconds between a
2095 failover pair could cause the primary to crash on contact with the
2096 secondary. Thanks to a patch from Steinar Haug.
2097
3e29af1e
PS
2098- Don't look for IPv6 interfaces on Linux when running in DHCPv4 mode.
2099 Thanks to patches from Matthew Newton and David Cantrell.
2100
b8d45c67
DH
2101- Secondary servers in a failover pair will now perform ddns removals if
2102 they had performed ddns updates on a lease that is expiring, or was
2103 released through the primary. As part of the same fix, stale binding scopes
2104 will now be removed if a change in identity of a lease's active client is
2105 detected, rather than simply if a lease is noticed to have expired (which it
2106 may have expired without a failover server noticing in some situations).
2107
583c1c16
DH
2108- A patch supplied by David Cantrell at RedHat was applied that detects
2109 invalid calling parameters given to the ns_name_ntop() function.
2110 Specifically, it detects if the caller passed a pointer and size pair
2111 that causes the pointer to integer-wrap past zero.
2112
e4e3a2ab
DH
2113! Fixed a fenceposting bug when a client had two host records configured,
2114 one using 'uid' and the other using 'hardware ethernet'. CVE-2009-1892
95f5d38c 2115
875e99dc
SR
2116- Fixed the check in the dhcp_interface_signal_handler routine to verify
2117 the existence of the linked signal handler before calling it.
2118
2267da84
DH
2119- Both host and subnet6 configuration groups are now included whether a
2120 fixed-address6 (DHCPv6) is in use or not. Host scoped configuration takes
2121 precedence. This fixes two bugs, one where host scoped configuration
2122 would not be included from a non-fixed-address6 host record, and the equal
2123 and opposite bug where subnet6 scoped configuration would not be used when
571c38b0 2124 over-riding values were not present in a matching fixed-address6 host
2267da84
DH
2125 configuration.
2126
cd3f0b9b
DH
2127- ./configure now checks to ensure the intX_t and u_intX_t types are defined,
2128 correcting a compilation failure when using Sun's compiler.
2129
0493fdca
SR
2130- Modified the handling of a connection to avoid releasing the omapi io
2131 object for the connection while it is still in use. One symptom from
2132 this error was a segfault when a failover secondary attempted to connect
2133 to the failover primary if their clocks were not synchronized.
2134
95bba8b6
SR
2135- Clean up to allow compilation with gcc 2.95.4 on FreeBSD. Remove an
2136 extra semi-colon from common/dns.c and moved setting a variable to NULL
2137 in server/dhcpv6.c to allow the compiler to decide that the variable
9a111ee8 2138 was always properly set.

DH
2145 Changes since 4.1.0a2
2146
2147- A cosmetic bug in DHCPDECLINE processing was fixed which caused all
2148 successful DHCPDECLINEs to be logged as "not found" rather than
2149 "abandoned".

1387545f
DH
2153- Some failover debugging #defines have been better defined and some
2154 high frequency messages moved to a deeper debugging symbol.
2155
2156- The CLTT parameter in failover is now only updated by client activity,
2157 and not by failover binding updates (taking on the peer's CLTT).
2158
2159- Failover BNDUPD messages are now discarded if they conflict with an
d7ac7a27 2160 update that has been transmitted, but not acknowledged.
1387545f 2161
399d3dbe
DH
2162- A bug cleaning up unknown-xxx temporary option definitions was fixed.
2163
fbcee149
DH
2164- Delayed-ack is now a compile-time option, compiled out by default.
2165 This feature is simply too experimental for right now, and causes
2166 some problems to some failover installations. We will revisit this
2167 in future releases.
2168
f1672d89
DH
2169- The !inet_pton() call in res_mkupdrec was adjusted to '<= 0' as
2170 inet_pton returns either 1, 0, or -1.
2171
236d3a99
DH
2172- A dhclient-script for MacOS X has been included, which enables
2173 'dhclient -6' support.
2174
efa5e6b9
DH
2175- DDNS removal routines were updated so that the DHCID is not removed until
2176 the client has been deprived of all A and AAAA records (not only the last
2177 one of either of those). This resolves a bug where dual stack clients
2178 would not be able to regain their names after either expiration event.

2187 routers option before the subnet mask option were receiving
2188 only the latter. Fixed.

EH
2190- The server wasn't always sending the FQDN option when it should.

2192- A partner-down failover server no longer emits 'peer holds all free leases'
2193 if it is able to newly-allocate one of the peer's leases.

DH
2199- Ari Edelkind's PARANOIA patch has been included and may be compiled in
2200 via two ./configure parameters, --enable-paranoia and
2201 --enable-early-chroot.

2203- ./configure was extended to cover many optional build features, such
2204 as failover, server tracing, debugging, and the execute() command.
2205
f8cbf390
DH
2206- There is now a default 1/4 of a second scheduled delay between delayed
2207 fsync()'s, it can be configured by the max-ack-delay configuration
2208 parameter.

2210- A bug was fixed where the length of a hostname was miscalculated, so that
2211 hosts were given odd-looking domain names ("foo.bar.ba.example.com").
2212
b445a411

2213- Shared network selection should be done from the innermost relay
2214 valid link-address field, rather than the outermost.

2223
9ac4206a
DH
2224- DHCPv6 vendor-class options (VSIO) are now only sent when they appear
2225 on the DHCPv6 ORO. This resolves a bug where VSIO options were placed
2226 in IA_NA encapsulated options fields.
2227

EH
2241- Fix handling of -A and -a flags in dhcrelay; it was failing to expand
2242 packet size as needed to add relay agent options.
2243
7d6180be
DH
2244- A bug in subnet6 parsing where options contained in subnet6 clauses would
2245 not be applied to clients addressed within that network was repaired.
2246
2247- When configuring a "subnet {}" or "subnet6 {}" without an explicit
2248 shared-network enclosing it, the DHCP software would synthesize a
2249 shared-network to contain the subnet. However, all configuration
2250 parameters within the subnet more intuitively belong "to any client
2251 on that interface", or rather the synthesized shared-network. So,
2252 when a shared-network is synthesized, it is used to contain the
2253 configuration present inside the subnet {} clause. This means that
2254 the configuration will be valid for all clients on that network, not
2255 just those addressed out of the stated subnet. If you intended the
2256 opposite, the workaround is to explicitly configure an empty
2257 shared-network.
2258
2259- A bug was fixed where Information-Request processing was not sourcing
2260 configured option values.
2261
2262- A warning was added since the DHCPv6 processing software does not yet
2263 support class statements.

adb95d23 2265- Compilation warnings on GCC 4.3 relating to bootp source address
dd484ced
DH
2266 selection were repaired.

ecddae64
DH
2268- The v6 BSD socket method was updated to use a single UDP BSD socket
2269 no matter how many interfaces are involved, differentiating the
2270 interfaces the packets were received on by the interface index supplied
2271 by the OS.
2272
2273- The relay agent no longer listens to the All DHCP Servers Multicast
2274 address.

2277 once for two invocations of vsprintf() variants.

DH
2279- ERO (RFC 4994) server support.
2280
2281- Basic and partial DHCPv6 leasequery support.

4cafb815 2290- Added explicit parser support for zero-length DHCP options, such as
6d7f9584 2291 rapid-commit, via format code 'Z'.
4cafb815 2292
022fe95e
EH
2293- It's now possible to update the "ends" field of a lease with OMAPI.
2294 This is useful if you want not only to release a lease, but also make
2295 it available for reuse right away. Hat tip to Christof Chen.
2296
9a111ee8 2297- Fixed definition of the iaaddr hash functions to use the correct
1dcc3612

FD
2305- Unicast options are taken into account only for RENEWs.
2306

FD
2307- NoAddrsAvail answers to SOLICITs are always ADVERTISEs even when a SOLICIT
2308 carries a rapid-commit option.
2309
96b620e5

2310- Return in place of raise an impossible condition when one tries to release
2311 an empty active lease.

be62cf06
FD
2313- Timer granularity is now 1/100s in the DHCPv6 client.
2314
01a54c17
EH
2315- The dhclient-script was updated to create a host route for the default
2316 gateway if the supplied subnet mask for an IPv4 address was a /32. This
2317 allows the client to work in 'captive' network environments, where the
2318 operator does not want clients to crosstalk directly.
2319
adb95d23 2320- MINUS tokens should be parsable again.
01a54c17
EH
2321
2322- Multiple (up to "delayed-ack x;" maximum) DHCPv4 packets are now queued and
2323 released in bursts after single fsync() events when the upper limit is
2324 reached or if the receiving sockets go dry. The practical upshot is
2325 that fsync-coupled server performance is now multiplicitively increased.
2326 The default delayed ack limit is 28. Thanks entirely to a patch from
2327 Christof Chen.
2328
2329 Changes since 4.0.0 (bug fixes)
2330
2331- DHCP now builds on AIX.

2334 config file but -6 is not specified.
2335
2336- Fixed "--version" flag in dhcrelay
2337
2338- The 'min-secs' configuration parameter's log message has been updated to
2339 be more helpful.
2340
2341- The warning logged when an address range doesn't fit in the subnets
2342 they were declared has been updated to be more helpful and identify the
2343 typo in configuration that created the spanning addresses.
2344
2345- A bug in failover pool rebalancing that caused POOLREQ message ping-pongs
2346 was repaired.
2347
2348- A flaw in failover pool rebalancing that could cause POOLREQ messages to
2349 be sent outside of the min-balance/max-balance scheduled intervals has
2350 been repaired.
2351
2352- A cosmetic bug during potential-conflict recovery that caused the peer's
2353 'conflict-done' state message to be logged as 'unknown-state' has been
2354 repaired. It is now logged correctly.
2355
49f61135
DH
2356- A bug was fixed where the 'giaddr' may be used to find the client's subnet
2357 rather than its own 'ciaddr'.
2358
41d4652f
DH
2359- A log message was introduced to clarify the situation where a failover
2360 'address' parameter (the server's local address) did not resolve to an
2361 IPv4 address.
2362
2c9bf1f4
DH
2363- The minimum site code value was set to 224 in 3.1.0 to track RFC3942. This
2364 broke a lot of legacy site local configurations. The new code in place will
2365 track site local space minimum option codes and logs a warning to encourage
2366 updates and exploration of site local code migration problems. Option
2367 codes less than 128 in site local spaces remain inaccessible.
2368
2369- A possible relay agent option bug was repaired where random server
2370 initialization state may have been used to signal the relay agent
2371 information options sub-option code for the 'END' of the option space.

SK
2373- Fixes to allow code to compile and run on Solaris 9.

c4d29896
SK
2375- Fixes to allow code to compile on Mac OS X Leopard (10.5).
2376
57fcb8d9
SK
2377- When server is configured with options that it overrides, a warning is
2378 issued when the configuration file is read, rather than at the time the
2379 option is overridden. This was important, because the warning was given
9a111ee8 2380 every time the option was overridden, which could create a lot of
57fcb8d9
SK
2381 unnecessary logging.
2382
219a65eb
DH
2383- Fixed a compilation problems on platforms that define a value for FDDI,
2384 which conflicts with a dhcp configuration syntax token by the same name.
2385
ffdf3c8c
DH
2386- When a failover server suspects it has encountered a peer running a
2387 version 3.0.x failover server, a warning that the failover wire protocol
2388 is incompatible is printed.
2389
2390- The failover server no longer issues a floating point error if it encounters
2391 a previously undefined option code.
2392

MA
2393- Fix startup error messages to report a missing "subnet6 declaration", rather
2394 than a missing "subnet declaration", when running as a DHCPv6 server.
2395
9a111ee8 2396- DHCPv6 client timestamp in DUID was based on the year 1970 rather
7e9f7a1b
FD
2397 than the year 2000.
2398
e2cfde76

DH
2405 Changes since 4.0.0b3
2406
2407- The reverse dns name for PTR updates on IPv6 addresses has been fixed to
2408 use ip6.arpa. rather than default to in-addr.arpa and require user
2409 configuration.
76db44f9 2410
e32529a5
EH
2411- dhc6_lease_destroy() and dhc6_ia_destroy() now set lease and IA pointers
2412 to NULL after freeing, to prevent subsequent accesses to freed memory.
2413
9a111ee8 2414- The DHCPv6 server would not send the preference option unless the
76db44f9
SK
2415 client requested it, via the ORO. This has been fixed, so the DHCPv6
2416 server will always send the preference value if it is configured.
e4a6be15 2417
9a111ee8
TM
2418- When addresses were passed as hints to the server in an IA, they were
2419 incorrectly handled, sometimes being treated as an error. Now the
6f76de58
SK
2420 server will treat these as hints and ignore them if it cannot supply
2421 a requested address.
2422
703873ab
DH
2423- If the client had multiple addresses, and one expired (was not renewed
2424 by the server), the client would continue to attempt to renew the same
2425 old address over and over. Now, the client will omit any expired
2426 addresses from future Confirm, Renew, or Rebind messages.
2427
2428- dhclient -6 will now select renew/rebind timers based upon the longest
2429 address expiration time rather than the shortest expiration time, in
2430 order to avoid cascading renewals in the event a server elects not to
2431 extend one of multiple IAADDR leases.
2432
b024480e
DH
2433- The server now limits clients that request multiple addresses to one
2434 address per IA by default, which can be adjusted through the
2435 "limit-addrs-per-ia" configuration option.
2436
c0216cb7
DH
2437- The DHCPv6 client now issues fresh transaction IDs on Renew and Rebind
2438 message exchanges, rather than using the most recent ID.

2445- The parsing of some options in the dhclient lease file, in particular
2446 the success DHCPv6 status-code, was fixed.

2448- A bug was fixed that caused the DHCPv6 ORO option to be corrupted with
2449 seemingly random values.

f8b3c6f4
DH
2453- ./configure now autodetects local database locations rather than trying
2454 to put dhcpd.leases and dhclient.leases in /usr/local/var/db, which no
2455 one ever has.
2456
9a111ee8

2457- Regression fix for bug where server advertised a IPv6 address in
2458 response to a SOLICIT but would not return the address in response
b9137d42

2462 code in the IA_NA was fixed. The status code now appears in the root
2463 level.

b1d3778c
DH
2469- Relative time may now be used as a qualifier for 'allow' and 'deny' access
2470 control lists. These directives may be used to assist in re-addressing
2471 address pools without having to constantly reconfigure the server. Please
2472 see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more information on allow/deny 'after time' syntax.
2473 Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen.

bead14ea
DH
2475- The server will now include multiple IA_NA's and multiple IAADDRs within
2476 them, if advertised by the client. It still only seeks to allocate one
2477 new address.

2480
75135a3f 2481- Use different paths for PID and lease files when running in DHCPv4
adb95d23 2482 or DHCPv6 mode, so that servers for both protocols can be run
75135a3f
EH
2483 simultaneously on a single interface.

5c2d55c7
EH
2485- Fixed a buffer overflow error which could have allowed a denial
2486 of service under unusual server configurations
2487
2488- Eliminated a spurious error message from the client
2489
9a111ee8 2490- A number of bugs with the internal handling of lease state on the
f765ec36 2491 server have been fixed. Some of these could cause server crashes.
fa9b593d 2492
edb1283e
DH
2493- The peer_wants_leases() changes pulled up from 3.1.0 were corrected,
2494 'never used' leases will no longer consistently shift between servers
2495 on every pool rebalance run.

2500- The client leasing subsystem was streamlined and corrected to account
2501 more closely for changes in client link attachment selection.

763cba6b 2504
9a111ee8 2505- The DHCP server no longer requires a "ddns-update-style" statement,
884a458f
SK
2506 and now defaults to "none", which means DNS updates are disabled.
2507
fa9b593d
DH
2508- Log messages when failover peer names mismatch have been improved to
2509 point out the problem.
2510
9a111ee8 2511- Bug where server advertised a IPv6 address in response to a SOLICIT
1b5053b5

2516 reported independently by Jothilingam Vasu and Dennis Kou.
2517
eaf7eb17
DH
2518- Fixed a ./configure bug where compile tests were failing due to
2519 "-Werror" (unused variable) rather than the actual test failure. Lead
2520 to inconsistent and unworkable auto-configurations.

3ad9d48f
SK
2525 fixed by Marcus Goller.

8eab95f2
DH
2527- DHCPv6 server Confirm message processing has been enhanced - it no
2528 longer replies only to clients with host {} records, it now replies
2529 as directed in RFC3315 section 18.2.2 - that is, to all clients
2530 regardless of the existence of bindings.

DH
2532- A core dump during expired lease cleanup has been repaired.
2533
7285af30
DH
2534- DDNS updates state information are now stored in 'binding scopes' that
2535 follow the leases through their lifecycles. This enables DDNS teardowns
2536 on leases that are assigned and expired inbetween a server restart (the
2537 state is recovered from dhcpd.leases). Arbitrary user-specified binding
2538 scopes ('set var = "value";') are not yet supported.

2558- An internal database inconsistency bug was repaired where the server
2559 would segfault if a client attempted to renew a lease that had been
2560 loaded from persistent storage.
2561
45d545f0 2562- 'request' and 'also request' syntaxes have been added to accommodate
0c20eab3
DH
2563 the DHCPv6 client configuration. 'send dhcp6.oro' is no longer
2564 necessary.
2565
9a111ee8

2566- Bug fixed where configuration file parsing did not work with
2567 zero-length options; this made it impossible to set the
f800f4f6
SK
2568 rapid-commit option.

2627
2628- Include the more standard sys/uio.h rather than rely upon other
f66f02cc
DH
2629 header files to include it (fixes a BSD 4.2 compile failure).
2630
2631- Duplicate dhclient-script updates for DHCPv6 to all provided scripts.
a512d11b 2632
4ba58919
DH
2633- DHCPv4 I/O methods that failed to sense hardware address were corrected.
2634
2635- DHCPv4 is now the default (as documented) rather than DHCPv6. The default
2636 was set to DHCPv6 to facilitate ease early development, and forgotten.
2637
2638- Corrected a segmentation violation in DHCPv4 socket processing.
2639
8ea19a71 2640- dhclient will now fork() into the background once it binds to an
45d545f0 2641 IPv6 address, or immediately if the -n flag is supplied.
8ea19a71

98bd7ca0
DH
2652 Changes since 3.1.0 (NEW FEATURES)
2653
2654- DHCPv6 Client and Server protocol support. Use '-6' to run the daemons
2655 as v6-only. Use '-4' to run the daemons as v4-only (default. There is
2656 no support currently for both.
2657
2658- Server support for multiple IA_NA options, containing at most one
2659 IAADDR option.
2660
2661- Client support for one IA_NA option, containing any number of IAADDR
2662 options.
2663
2664- Server support for the DHCPv6 Information-request message.
2665
2666- Inappropriate unicast DHCPv6 messages sent to the server are now
2667 discarded, and this has rearchitected the IO system slightly.
2668
2669- The DHCPv6 server DUID defaults to type 1, is persistently stored in
2670 the leases database, and can be over-ridden (either completely, or by
2671 specifying type 1 or type 2).
2672
2673- The server only uses Rapid-Commit if it has been configured with the
2674 Rapid-Commit option and the client requests it.
2675
2676- DDNS support. We now update AAAA records in the same place we would
2677 update A records, if we have an IPv6 address. We also generate IP6.ARPA
2678 style names for PTR records if we're dealing with an IPv6 address. Both
2679 A and AAAA updates are done using the same 'fqdn.' virtual option space
2680 (although the DHCPv4 FQDN and DHCPv6 FQDN options are formatted
2681 differently, they both use the same code here).
2682
2683- The Linux dhclient-script attempts to set and remove assigned addresses,
2684 and to configure /etc/resolv.conf from nameserver and domain name
2685 configurations. It can be extended to configure other parameters.
2686
2687- Initial DHCPv6 lease support.
2688
2689- The IO system now tracks all local IP addresses, so that the DHCP
2690 applications (particularly the dhcrelay) can discern between what frames
2691 were transmitted to it, and what frames are being carried through it which
2692 it should not intercept.
2693

DH
2694 Changes since 3.1.0 (Maintenance)
2695
2696- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for virgin leases always
2697 mapped to the primary. Virgin leases now have an interleaved preference
2698 between primary and secondary.
2699
2700- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for clients with no client
2701 identifier was sometimes mishashed to the peer. Load balancing during
2702 runtime and pool rebalancing were opposing.
2703
aa3e348e
DH
2704- An assertion in lease counting relating to reserved leases was repaired.
2705
e9c59645
DH
2706- The subnet-mask option inclusion now conforms with RFC2132 section 3.3;
2707 it will only appear prior to the routers option if it is present on the
2708 Parameter-Request-List. The subnet-mask option will also only be
2709 included by default (if it is not on the PRL) in response to DISCOVER
2710 or REQUEST messages.
2711
2712- The FQDN option is only supplied if the client supplied an FQDN option or
2713 if the FQDN option was explicitly requested on the PRL.

2720 failover protected subnets was removed.
2721
a512cc3a
DH
2722 Changes since 3.1.0b2
2723
2724- Failover rebalance events no longer play ping pong with round errors
2725 (moving leases between free and back to backup where there are an
2726 odd number of leases).
2727
2728- The 'pool' log line has been split into two messages, one before the
2729 rebalance run, and one after.
2730
2731- Any queued BNDACKs are transmitted before transmitting new BNDUPDs.
2732 This enforces the correct sequence of events for the remote server
2733 processing these messages.
2734
fe5b0fdd 2735 Changes since 3.1.0b1

2738 objects.
2739
1ba87b37
EH
2740- A new server config option "fqdn-reply" specifies whether the server
2741 should send out option 81 (FQDN). Defaults to "on". If set to "off",
2742 the FQDN option is not sent, even if the client requested it. This is
2743 needed because some clients misbehave otherwise. Thanks to Christof Chen
2744 at Allianz.

2746- Allow trace output files (-tf option) to be overwritten, rather than
2747 crashing dhcpd if the file already exists
2748

EH
2749- A bug was fixed that caused dhcpd to segfault if a pool was declared
2750 outside the scope of a subnet in dhcpd.conf.

2752- Some uninitialized values were repaired in dhcpleasequery.c that
2753 caused the server to abort.
2754
4d2eaafb
DH
2755- A new server config option, 'do-reverse-updates', has been added
2756 which causes the server to abstain from performing updates on PTR
2757 records. Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen at Allianz.

2769 the primary DHCP server's pool rebalance schedules unscheduled.
2770
c9feb859
DH
2771- Corrected a flaw that broke encapsulated spaces included due to presence
2772 on the parameter request list.

SK
2774 Changes since 3.1.0a3
2775
2776- Some spelling fixes.

DH
2778 Changes since 3.1.0a2
2779
2780- A bug was fixed where attempting to permit leasequeries results in a
2781 fatal internal error, "Unable to find server option 49".
2782
85edef5c
DH
2783- A bug was fixed in dhclient rendering the textual output form of the
2784 domain-search option syntax.
2785

DH
2786 Changes since 3.1.0a1
2787
2788- A bug in the FQDN universe that added FQDN codes to the NWIP universe's
2789 hash table was repaired.
2790
616d67cb
DH
2791- The servers now try harder to transmit pending binding updates when
2792 entering normal state.
2793
2794- UPDREQ/UPDREQALL handling was optimized - it no longer dequeues and
2795 requeues all pending updates. This should reduce the number of spurious
66c8f734
DH
2796 'xid mismatch' log messages.
2797
2798- An option definition referencing leak was fixed, which resulted in early
2799 termination of dhclient upon the renewal event.
616d67cb 2800
6708d944
DH
2801- Some default hash table sizes were tweaked, some upwards, some downwards.
2802 3.1.0a1's tables resulted in a reduction in default server memory use.
2803 The new selected values provide more of a zero sum (increasing the size
2804 of tables likely to be populated, decreasing the size of tables unlikely).
2805
45d545f0 2806- Lease structures appear in three separate hashes: by IP address, by UID,
6708d944
DH
2807 and by hardware address. One type of table was used for all three, and
2808 improvements to IP address hashing were applied to all three (so UID and
2809 hardware addresses were treated like 4-byte integers). There are now two
2810 types of tables, and the uid/hw hashes use functions more appropriate
2811 to their needs.
2812
2813- The max-lease-misbalance percentage no longer causes scheduled rebalance
2814 runs to be skipped: it still governs the schedule, but every scheduled
2815 run will attempt balance.
2816
a7ee93fe
DH
2817- A segfault bug in recursive encapsulation support has been corrected.
2818
98311e4b
DH
2819 Changes since 3.0 (New Features)
2820
2821- A workaround for certain STSN servers that send a mangled domain-name
2822 option was introduced for dhclient. The client will now accept corrupted
2823 server responses, if they contain a valid DHCP_MESSAGE_TYPE (OFFER, ACK,
2824 or NAK). The server will continue to not accept corrupt client packets.
2825
98bd7ca0 2826- Support for 'reserved' (pseudo-static) and BOOTP leases via failover
a55ccdd0 2827 was introduced.
98311e4b
DH
2828
2829- Support for adding, removing, and managing class and subclass statements
2830 via OMAPI.
2831
a55ccdd0
DH
2832- The failover implementation was updated to comply with revision 12 of
2833 the protocol draft.
2834
98311e4b
DH
2835- 'make install' now creates the initial zero-length dhcpd.leases file if
2836 one does not already exist on the system.
2837
b43c87ad 2838- RFC3942 compliance, site-local option spaces start at 224 now, not 128.
b43c87ad 2839
0b17f049
DH
2840- The Load Balance Algorithm was misimplemented. The current implementation
2841 matches RFC 3074.
2842
2727c1cf
DH
2843- lcase() and ucase() configuration expressions have been added which adjust
2844 their arguments from upper to lower and lower to upper cases respectively.
2714a8ef 2845 Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
2727c1cf 2846
febbd402
DH
2847- The dhclient 'reject ...;' statement, which rejects leases given by named
2848 server-identifiers, now permits address ranges to be specified in CIDR
7d7073e7 2849 notation. Thanks to a patch from David Boyce.
febbd402 2850
ee912528
DH
2851- The subnet-mask option is now supplied by default, but at lowest
2852 priority. This helps a small minority of clients that provide parameter
2853 request lists, but do not list the subnet-mask option because they were
2854 designed to interoperate with a server that behaves in this manner.
2855
2856- The FQDN option is similarly supplied even if it does not appear on the
2857 parameter request list, but not to the exclusion of options that do
2858 appear at the parameter request list. Up until now it had ultimate
2859 priority over the client's parameter request list.
2860
f7fdb216 2861- Varying option space code and length bit widths (8/16/32) are now
51202707 2862 supported. This is a milestone in achieving RFC 3925 "VIVSO" and
f7fdb216
DH
2863 DHCPv6 support.
2864
5e864416
DH
2865- A new common (server or client) option, 'db-time-format local;', has
2866 been added which prints the local time in /var/db/dhcpd.leases rather
2867 than UTC. Thanks to a patch from Ken Lalonde.
2868
b500bd4c
DH
2869- Some patches to improve DHCP Server startup speed from Andrew Matheson
2870 have been incorporated.
2871
2426234f
DH
2872- Failover pairs now implement 'MAC Affinity' on leases moving from the
2873 active to free states. Leases that belonged to the failover secondary
2874 are moved to BACKUP state rather than FREE upon exiting EXPIRED state.
2875 If lease rebalancing must move leases, it tries first to move leases
2876 that belong to the peer in need.
2877
2878- The server no longer sends POOLREQ messages unless the pool is severely
2879 misbalanced in the peer's favor (see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more details).
2880
2881- Pool rebalance events no longer happen upon successfully allocating a
2882 lease. Instead, they happen on a schedule. See 'man dhcpd.conf' for the
2883 min-balance and max-balance statements for more information.
2884
334bf491
DH
2885- The DHCP Relay Agent Information Option / Link Selection Sub-Option
2886 is now supported. (See RFC3527 for details).
2887
3004bebf
DH
2888- A new DDNS related server option, update-conflict-detection, has been
2889 added. If this option is enabled, dhcpd will perform normal DHCID
2890 conflict resolution (the default). If this option is disabled, it will
2891 instead trust the assigned name implicitly (removing any other bindings
2892 on that name). This option has not been made available in dhclient.
2893
567e8561
DH
2894- In those cases where the DHCP software manufactures an IP header (to
2895 transmit via bpf, lpf, etc), the IP TTL the software selects has been
2896 increased from 16 to 128. This is intended to match Microsoft Windows
2897 DHCP Client behaviour, to increase compatibility.
2898
a396d25f
DH
2899- 'ignore client-updates;' now has behaviour that is different from
2900 'deny client-updates;'. The client's request is not truly ignored,
2901 rather it is encouraged. Should this value be configured, the server
2902 updates DNS as though client-updates were set to 'deny'. That is, it
2903 enters into DNS whatever it is configured to do already, provided it is
2904 configured to. Then it sends a response to the client that lets the
2905 client believe it is performing client updates (which it will), probably
2906 for a different name. In essence, this lets the client do as it will,
2907 ignoring this aspect of their request.
2908
dba5803b
DH
2909- Support for compressed 'domain name list' style DHCP option contents, and
2910 in particular the domain search option (#119) was added.
2911
41e45067 2912- The DHCP LEASEQUERY protocol as defined in RFC4388 is now implemented.
6d103865
SK
2913 LEASEQUERY lets you query the DHCP server for information about a lease,
2914 using either an IP address, MAC address, or client identifier. Thanks
2915 to a patch from Justin Haddad.
2916
41e45067
DH
2917- DHCPD is now RFC2131 section 4.1 compliant (broadcast to all-ones ip and
2918 ethernet mac address) on the SCO platform specifically without any strange
2919 ifconfig hacks. Many thanks go to the Kroger Co. for donating the
2920 hardware and funding the development.
6d103865 2921
b543fea9
DH
2922- A new common configuration executable statement, execute(), has been
2923 added. This permits dhcpd or dhclient to execute a named external
2924 program with command line arguments specified from other configuration
2925 language. Thanks to a patch written by Mattias Ronnblom, gotten to us
2926 via Robin Breathe.
2927
b22de500
DH
2928- A new dhcp server option 'adaptive-lease-time-threshold' has been added
2929 which causes the server to substantially reduce lease-times if there are
2930 few (configured percentage) remaining leases. Thanks to a patch submitted
2931 from Christof Chen.
2932
96bbe8c5
SK
2933- Encapsulated option spaces within encapsulated option spaces is now
2934 formally supported.
2935
b8221d95
DH
2936 Changes since 3.0.6rc1
2937
2938- supersede_lease() now requeues leases in their respective hardware
2939 address hash bucket. This mirrors client identifier behaviour.
2940
c1e6c832
DH
2941 Changes since 3.0.5
2942
f546c28b
DH
2943- Assorted fixes for broken network devices: Packet length is now
2944 determined from the IP header length field to finally calculate the
2945 UDP payload length, because some NIC drivers return more data than
5a22eb63 2946 they actually received.
f546c28b
DH
2947
2948- UDP packets are now stored in aligned data structures.
2949
c1e6c832
DH
2950- A logic error in omapi interface code was repaired that might result in
2951 incorrectly indicating 'up' state when any flags were set, rather than
23e10d37
DH
2952 specifically the INTERFACE_REQUESTED flag. Thanks to a patch from
2953 Jochen Voss which got to us via Andrew Pollock at Debian.
c1e6c832 2954
75ab3070
DH
2955- A reference leak on binding scopes set by ddns updates was repaired.
2956
d69fb6a8 2957- A memory leak in the minires_nsendsigned() function call was repaired.
23e10d37 2958 Effectively, this leaked ~176 bytes per DDNS update.
d69fb6a8 2959
02428754
DH
2960- In the case where an "L2" DHCP Relay Agent (one that does not set giaddr)
2961 was directly attached to the same broadcast domain as the DHCP server,
2962 the RFC3046 relay agent information option was not being returned to the
2963 relay in the server's replies. This was fixed; the dhcp server no longer
2964 requires the giaddr to reply with relay agent information. Note that
2965 this also improves compatibility with L2 devices that "intercept" DHCP
2966 packets and expect relay agent information even in unicast (renewal)
23e10d37
DH
2967 replies. Thanks to a patch from Pekka Silvonen.
2968
2969- A bug was fixed where the BOOTP header 'sname' field had a value, the
2970 copy written to persistent storage was actually the contents of the
2971 'file' field.
02428754 2972
ecde99a3
DH
2973- A bug was fixed where the nwip virtual option space was referencing
2974 the fqdn option's virtual option space's option cache.
2975
67674ffb
DH
2976- Timestamp parsing errors that indicated missing "minutes" fields rather
2977 than the actually missing "seconds" fields have been repaired thanks to
2978 a patch from Kevin Steves.
2979
830ebc4c
DH
2980- A grammar error in the dhclient.8 manpage was repaired thanks to a patch
2981 from Chris Wagner.
2982
c759db75
DH
2983- Several spelling typos were repaired, and some cross-references to other
2984 relevant documents were included in the manpages, thanks to a patch
2985 by Andrew Pollock which got to us via Tomas Pospisek.
2986
9aa3f3a5
DH
2987- Some bugs were fixed in the 'emergency relay agent options hologram'
2988 which is used to retain relay agent option contents from when the
2989 client was in INIT or REBIND states. This should solve problems where
2990 relay agent options were not echoed from the server, even when giaddr
2991 was set.
2992
3d0c598a
DH
2993- dhclient now closes its descriptor to dhclient.leases prior to executing
2994 dhclient-script. Thanks to a patch from Tomas Pospisek.
2995
d5b6835f
DH
2996- The server's "by client-id" and "by hardware address" hash table lists
2997 are now sorted according to the preference to re-allocate that lease to
2998 returning clients. This should eliminate pool starvation problems
2999 arising when "INIT" clients were given new leases rather than presently
3000 active ones.
3001
02428754 3002 Changes since 3.0.5rc1
0a73b7b6 3003
901306d5 3004- A bug was repaired in fixes to the dhclient, which sought to run the
0a73b7b6
SK
3005 dhclient-script with the 'EXPIRE' state should it receive a NAK in
3006 response to a REQUEST. The client now iterates the PREINIT state
3007 after the EXPIRE state, so that interfaces that might be configured
3008 'down' can be brought back 'up' and initialized.
3009
87a08ccc
DH
3010- DHCPINFORM handling for clients that properly set ciaddr and come to the
3011 server via a relay aget has been repaired.
3012
6da113fb
DH
3013 Changes since 3.0.4
3014
3015- A warning that host statements declared within subnet or shared-network
3016 scopes are actually global has been added.
3017
3018- The default minimum lease time (if min-lease-time was not specified)
3019 was raised from 0 to 300. 0 is not thought to be sensible, and is
3020 known to be damaging.
3021
3022- Added additional fatal error sanity checks surrounding lease binding
3023 state count calculations (free/active counts used for failover pool
3024 balancing).
3025
dcc557db
DH
3026- Some time value size fixes in 3.0.4 brought on from FreeBSD /usr/ports were
3027 misapplied to server values rather than client values. The server no longer
3028 advertises 8-byte lease-time options when on 64-bit platforms.
3029
1b2ab55f
DH
3030- A bug where leases not in ACTIVE state would get billed to billed classes
3031 (classes with lease limitations) was fixed. Non-active leases OFFERed
3032 to clients are no longer billed (but billing is checked before offering).
3033
e48891e8
DH
3034- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated in regard to the ddns-domainname
3035 configuration option - the default configuration and results should be
3036 more clear now.
3037
6cbc6629
DH
3038- If the dhclient were to receive a DHCPNAK while it was in the RENEW
3039 state (and consequently, had an active, 'bound' address and related
3040 configuration options), it would fail to 'tear down' this information
3041 before proceeding into INIT state. dhclient now iterates the dhclient-
3042 script with the 'EXPIRE' action to cause these teardowns prior to entering
1d3bfb17 3043 INIT state. Thanks to a patch from Chris Zimmerman.
6cbc6629 3044
c5fec5fa
DH
3045- The omapi.1 manpage had some formatting errors repaired thanks to a patch
3046 from Yoshihiko Sarumaru.
3047
33e1cb2b
DH
3048- A few lines of code that were failover-specific were moved within
3049 #if defined() clauses so that compilation without failover could be
3050 made possible.
3051
2bddf829
DH
3052- The log message emitted when the 'leased-address' value was not available
3053 in dhcpd.conf "executable statements" has been updated to be more helpful.
3054 Manpage information for this value has also been updated.
3055
87578987
DH
3056- Abandoned or dissociated (err condition) leases now remove any related
3057 dynamic dns bindings. Thanks to a patch from Patrick Schoo.
3058
e77c575f
DH
3059- Attempting to write a new lease file to replace a corrupt (due to
3060 encountering non-retryable errors during writing) lease file should
3061 no longer result in an infinite recursion.
3062
2178df03
DH
3063- Host declaration hardware addresses and client identifiers may only be
3064 configured once. dhcpd will now fail to load config files that specify
3065 multiple identifiers (previous versions would silently over-ride the
3066 value with the later configured value).
3067
d5341d9b
SK
3068- Several option codes that have been allocated since our last release
3069 have been named and documented.
3070
3071- Option names of the form "unknown-123" have been removed from the in-
3072 memory hash tables. In order to support options of these names that
3073 may appear in dhclient.leases or similar in previous versions, the
3074 parser will now find the new option code definition, or mock up a
3075 generic option code definition. This should result in a smooth
3076 transition from one name to the other, as the new name is used to
3077 write new output.
3078
6da113fb
DH
3079 Changes since 3.0.4rc1
3080
3081- The dhcp-options.5 manpage was updated to correct indentation errors
3082 thanks to a patch from Jean Delvare.
3083
3084 Changes since 3.0.4b3
3085
3086- Some manual pages were clarified pursuant to discussion on the dhcp-server
3087 mailing list.
3088
88cd8aca
DH
3089 Changes since 3.0.4b2
3090
45d545f0 3091- Null-termination sensing for certain clients that unfortunately require
88cd8aca
DH
3092 it in DHCPINFORM processing was repaired.
3093
3094- The host-name option and a few others were moved from "X" format to "t"
3095 format to be compatible with new NULL handling functions.
3096
3097- DHCPINFORM processing is a little more careful about return addressing
3098 its responses, or if responding via a relay. The INFORM related
3099 messages also log the 'effective client ip address' rather than the
3100 client's supplied ciaddr (since some clients produce null ciaddrs).
3101
3102- The server was inappropriately sending leases to the RESET state in the
3103 event that multiple active leases were found to match a singly-identified
3104 client. This was changed to RELEASED (by accepting a different, ACTIVE
3105 binding, the client is implicitly releasing its lease). This repairs a
3106 bug wherein secondary servers in failover pairs detecting this condition
3107 move leases to RESET, and primaries refuse to accept that state
3108 transition (properly).
3109
3110- The memset-after-dmalloc() changes made in 3.0.4b1 have been backed out.
3111
3112 Changes since 3.0.4b1
3113
3114- Command line parsing in omshell was repaired - it no longer closes
3115 STDIN after reading one line.
3116
3117- The resolver library no longer closes the /etc/resolv.conf file
3118 descriptor it opened twice.
3119
3120- Changes to trailing NULL removal in 't' option-atoms has been rethought,
3121 it now includes 'd' (domain name) types, and tries hard not to rewind an
3122 option beyond the start of the text field it is un-terminating.
3123
3124 Changes since 3.0.3
3125
3126- A DDNS update handling function was misusing the DNS error codes, rather
3127 than the internal generic result enumeration. The result is a confusing
3128 syslog line, logging the wrong condition.
3129
3130- The DHCP Server was not checking pool balance in the case where it brought
3131 a non-ACTIVE lease out of storage for a client that was returning to use
3132 a lease it once had long ago, and had since expired.
3133
3134- Failover peers no longer bother to look for free leases to allocate when
3135 they already found the client's ACTIVE lease. DISCOVERs are load balanced
98bd7ca0 3136 whether freely-allocated or not, unless the server doubts the peer has
88cd8aca
DH
3137 leases to allocate.
3138
3139- Fixed a bug in dhcrelay agent addition code that suppressed trailing
45d545f0 3140 PAD options - it was suppressing only one trailing PAD option, rather
88cd8aca
DH
3141 than the entire block of them.
3142
3a16098f
DH
3143! Fixed some unlikely overlapping-region memcpy() bugs in dhcrelay agent
3144 option addition and stripping code. Added a few sanity checks. Although
3145 highly improbable, due to requiring the reception of a DHCP datagram well
3146 in excess of all known to be used physical MTU limitations, it is possible
3147 this may have been used in a stack overflow security vulnerability. Thanks
3148 to a patch from infamous42md.
3149
3150! Added some sanity checks to OMAPI connection/authentication code.
3151 Although highly improbable, due to having to deliver in excess of 2^32
3152 bytes of data via the OMAPI channel, not to mention requiring dhcpd to
3153 be able to malloc() a memory region 2^32 bytes in size, it was possible
3154 this might have resulted in a heap overflow security vulnerability.
3155 Thanks to a patch from infamous42md.
88cd8aca
DH
3156
3157- dmalloc() memset()'s the non-debug (data) portion of the allocated
3158 memory to zero. Code that memset()'s the result returned by dmalloc() to
3159 zero is redundant. These redundancies were removed.
3160
3161- Some type declaration corrections to u_int16_t were made in common/tr.c
4b97eaff 3162 (Token Ring support) thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
88cd8aca
DH
3163
3164- A failover bug that was allowing leases that EXPIRED or were RELEASED
3165 where tsfp and tstp are identical timestamps to languish in these
3166 transitional states has been repaired. As a side effect, lease
3167 databases should be kept more consistent overall, not just for these
3168 transitional states.
3169
3170- If the lease db is deleted out from under the daemon, and it moves to rewrite
3171 the db, it will go ahead with the operation and move the new db into place
3172 once it detects the old db does not exist.
3173
3174- dhclient now ignores IRDA, SIT, and IEEE1394 network interfaces, as it
3175 is either nonsensical or (in the case of IEEE1394) is not known to support
3176 these interfaces. Thanks to Marius Gedminas and Andrew Pollock of Debian.
3177
3178- Some previously undocumented reasons for dhclient-script invoking has
45d545f0 3179 been documented in the dhclient-script.8 manpage.
88cd8aca
DH
3180
3181- Failover potential expiry calculations (TSTP) have been corrected. Results
3182 should be substantially more consistent, and proper given the constraints.
3183
3184- Adjusted lease state validation checks in potential-conflict, to
3185 account for possible clock skew similarly to normal state, and several
3186 previously illegal transitions were made legal (ex: active->released).
3187
3188- An impossible sanity check was removed from omapi/buffer.c, thanks to a
3189 patch from 'infamous42md'.
3190
3191- An OMAPI host/network byte order problem in lease time values has been
3192 repaired.
3193
3194- Several minor bugs, largely relating to treating 8-byte time values as
3195 4-byte entities, have been repaired after careful review of the FreeBSD
3196 ports collection's patch set. Thanks to the nameless entities who have
3197 contributed to the FreeBSD ports.
3198
3199- When writing a trace file, the file is now created with permissions 0600,
3200 to help administrators avoid accidentally publicising sensitive config
3201 data.
3202
3203- The calculation of the maximum size of DHCP packets no longer includes
3204 Ethernet framing overhead. The result is that the 'Maximum Message
3205 Size' option advertised by clients, or the default value 576, is no
3206 longer reduced by 14 bytes, and instead directly reflects the IP level
3207 MTU (and the default, minimum allowed IP MTU of 576).
3208
3209- The special status of RELEASED/EXPIRED/RESET leases when a server
3210 is operating in partner-down was fixed. It no longer requires a
3211 lease be twice the MCLT beyond STOS to 'reallocate', and the expiry
3212 event to turn these into FREE leases without peer acknowledgement
3213 (after STOS+MCLT) has been repaired.
3214
3215- Compilation on older Solaris systems (lacking /usr/include/sys/int_types.h)
3216 has been repaired.
3217
3218- "append"ing a string onto the end of a "t" type option (such as the
3219 domain-name field) that had been improperly NULL-terminated by the
3220 DHCP server will no longer result in a truncated string containing
3221 only the option from the server, and not the expected appended value.
4b97eaff 3222 Thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.

DH
3223
3224- File handlers on configuration state (config files and lease dbs) should
98bd7ca0 3225 be treated consistently, regardless of whether TRACING is defined or not.
88cd8aca 3226
45d545f0 3227- The Linux build environment has had some minor improvements - better
88cd8aca
DH
3228 sensing of 64-bit pointer sizes (only used for establishing an icmp_id),
3229 and corrections to #if operators regarding LINUX_MAJOR should it ever
3230 move to 3.[01].x.
3231
3232- The server now tries harder to survive the condition where it is unable
3233 to open a new lease file to rewrite the lease state database.
3234

DH
3235 Changes since 3.0.3b3
3236
3237- dhclient.conf documentation for interface {} was updated to reflect recent
3238 discussion on the dhcp-hackers mailing list.
3239
3240- In response to reports that the software does not compile on GCC 4.0.0,
3241 -Werror was removed from Makefile.conf for all platforms that used it.
3242 We will address the true problem in a future release; this is a temporary
3243 workaround.
3244
3245 Changes since 3.0.3b2
3246
3247- An error in code changes introduced in 3.0.3b2 was corrected, which caused
3248 static BOOTP clients to receive random addresses.
3249
3250 Changes since 3.0.3b1
3251
3252- A bug was fixed in BOOTPREQUEST handling code wherein stale references to
3253 host records would be left behind on leases that were not allocated to the
3254 client currently booting (eg in the case where the host was denied booting).
3255
3256- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated to be more clear in regards to
3257 multiple host declarations (thanks to Vincent McIntyre). 'Interim' style
3258 dynamic updates were also retouched.
3259
98311e4b
DH
3260 Changes since 3.0.2
3261
3262- A bug was fixed where a server might load balance a DHCP REQUEST to its
45d545f0 3263 peer after already choosing not to load balance the preceding DISCOVER.
98311e4b
DH
3264 The peer cannot allocate the originating server's lease.
3265
3266- In the case where a secondary server lost its stable storage while the
3267 primary was still in communications-interrupted, and came back online,
3268 the lease databases would not be fully transferred to the secondary.
3269 This was due to the secondary errantly sending an extra UPDREQ message
3270 when the primary made its state transition to PARTNER-DOWN known.
3271
3272- The package will now compile cleanly in gcc 3.3 and 3.4. As a side effect,
3273 lease structures will be 9 bytes smaller on all platforms. Thanks to
4b97eaff 3274 Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3275
3276- Interface discovery code in DISCOVER_UNCONFIGURED mode is now
3277 properly restricted to only detecting broadcast interfaces. Thanks
4b97eaff 3278 to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3279
3280- decode_udp_ip_header was changed so that the IP address was copied out
3281 to a variable, rather than referenced by a pointer. This enforces 4-byte
3282 alignment of the 32-bit IP address value. Thanks to a patch from Dr.
3283 Peter Poeml.
3284
3285- An incorrect log message was corrected thanks to a patch from
3286 Dr. Peter Poeml.
3287
3288- A bug in DDNS was repaired, where if the server's first DDNS action was
3289 a DDNS removal rather than a DDNS update, the resolver library's
3290 retransmit timer and retry timer was set to the default, implying a
3291 15 second timeout interval. Which is a little excessive in a synchronous,
3292 single-threaded system. In all cases, ISC DHCP should now hold fast to
3293 a 1-second timeout, trying only once.
3294
3295- The siaddr field was being improperly set to the server-identifier when
3296 responding to DHCP messages. RFC2131 clarified the siaddr field as
3297 meaning the 'next server in the bootstrap process', eg a tftp server.
3298 The siaddr field is now left zeroed unless next-server is configured.
3299
3300- mockup_lease() could have returned in an error condition (or in the
3301 condition where no fixed-address was found matching the shared
3302 network) with stale references to a host record. This is probably not
3303 a memory leak since host records generally never die anyway.
3304
3305- A bug was repaired where failover servers would let stale client identifiers
3306 persist on leases that were reallocated to new clients not sending an id.
3307
3308- Binding scopes ("set var = value;") are now removed from leases allocated
3309 by failover peers if the lease had expired. This should help reduce the
3310 number of stale binding scopes on leases.
3311
3312- A small memory leak was closed involving client identifiers larger than
3313 7 bytes, and failover.
3314
3315- Configuring a subnet in dhcpd.conf with a subnet mask of 32 bits might
3316 cause an internal function to overflow heap. Thanks to Jason Vas Dias
4b97eaff 3317 at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3318
3319- Some inconsistencies in treating numbers that the lexer parsed as 'NUMBER'
3320 or 'NUMBER_OR_NAME' was repaired. Hexadecimal parsing is affected, and
3321 should work better.
3322
3323- In several cases, parse warnings were being issued before the lexical
3324 token had been advanced to the token whose value was causing an error...
3325 causing parse warnings to claim the problem is on the wrong token.
3326
3327- Host declarations matching on client identifier for dynamic leases will
3328 no longer match fixed-address host declarations (this is now identical
3329 to behaviour for host records matching on hardware address).
3330
3331 Changes since 3.0.2rc3
3332
3333- A previously undocumented configuration directive, 'local-address',
3334 was documented in the dhcpd.conf manpage.
3335
3336 Changes since 3.0.2rc2
3337
45d545f0 3338- Two variables introduced in 3.0.2b1 were used without being initialized
98311e4b
DH
3339 in the case where neither the FILE nor SNAME fields were available for
3340 overloading. This was repaired.
3341
3342- A heretofore believed to be impossible corner case of the option
3343 overloading implementation turned out to be possible ("Unable to sort
3344 overloaded options after 10 tries."). The implementation was reworked
3345 to consider the case of an option so large it would require more than
3346 three chunks to fit.
3347
3348- Many other instances of variables being used without being initialized
3349 were repaired.
3350
3351- An uninitialized variable in omapi_io_destroy() led to the discovery
3352 that this function may result in orphaned pointers (and hence, a memory
3353 leak).
3354
3355 Changes since 3.0.2rc1
3356
3357- allocate_lease() was rewritten to repair a bug in which the server would
3358 try to allocate an ABANDONED lease when FREE leases were available.
3359
3360 Changes since 3.0.2b1
3361
3362- Some dhcp-eval.5 manpage formatting was repaired.
3363
3364 Changes since 3.0.1
3365
3366- A bug was fixed in the server's 'option overloading' implementation,
3367 where options loaded into the 'file' and 'sname' packet fields were
3368 not aligned precisely as rfc2131 dictates.
3369
3370- The FreeBSD client script was changed to support the case where a domain
3371 name was not provided by the server.
3372
3373- A memory leak in 'omshell' per each command line parsed was
3374 repaired, thanks to a patch from Jarkko Torppa.
3375
3376- Log functions writing to stderr were adjusted to use the STDERR_FILENO
3377 system definition rather than '2'. This is a no-op for 90% of platforms.
3378
3379- One call to trace_write_packet_iov() counted the number of io vectors
3380 incorrectly, causing inconsistent tracefiles. This was fixed.
3381
3382- Some expression parse failure memory leaks were closed.
3383
3384- A host byte order problem in tracefiles was repaired.
3385
3386- Pools configured in DHCPD for failover possessing permission lists that
adb95d23 3387 previously were assumed to not include dynamic bootp clients are now
98311e4b
DH
3388 a little more pessimistic. The result is, dhcpd will nag you about just
3389 about most pools that possess a 'allow' statement with no 'deny' that
3390 would definitely match a dynamic bootp client.
3391
3392- The 'ddns-update-style' configuration warning bit now insists that
3393 the configuration be globally scoped.
3394
3395- Two memory leaks in dhclient were closed thanks to a patch from Felix
3396 Farkas.
3397
3398- Some minor but excellently pedantic documentation errors were fixed
3399 thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
3400
3401- Bugs in operator precedence in executable statements have been repaired
3402 once again. More legal syntaxes should be parsed legally.
3403
3404- Failing to initialize a tracefile for any reason if a tracefile was
3405 specified is now a fatal error. Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
3406
3407- Corrected a bug in which the number of leases transferred as calculated
3408 by the failover primary and sent to peers in POOLRESP responses may be
3409 incorrect. This value is not believed to be used by other failover
3410 implementations, excepting perhaps as logged information.
3411
3412- Corrected a bug in which 'dhcp_failover_send_poolresp()' was in fact
3413 sending POOLREQ messages instead of POOLRESP mesasges. This message
3414 was essentially ignored since failover secondaries effectively do not
3415 respond to POOLREQ messages.
3416
3417- Type definitions for various bitwidths of integers in the sunos5-5
3418 build of ISC DHCP have been fixed. It should compile and run more
3419 easily when built in 64-bit for this platform.
3420
3421- "allow known-clients;" is now a legal syntax, to avoid confusion.
3422
3423- If one dhcp server chooses to 'load balance' a request to its failover
3424 peer, it first checks to see if it believes said peer has a free
3425 lease to allocate before ignoring the DISCOVER.
3426
3427- log() was logging a work buffer, rather than the value returned by
3428 executing the statements configured by the user. In some cases,
3429 the work buffer and the intended results were the same. In some other
3430 cases, they were not. This was fixed thanks to a patch from Gunnar
3431 Fjone and directconnect.no.
3432
3433- Compiler warnings for some string type conversions was fixed, thanks
3434 to Andreas Gustafsson.
3435
3436- The netbsd build environments were simplified to one, in which
3437 -Wconversion is not used, thanks to Andreas Gustafsson.
3438
3439- How randomness in the backoff-cutoff dhclient configuration variable
3440 is implemented was better documented in the manpage, and the behaviour
3441 of dhclient in REQUEST timeout handling was changed to match that of
3442 DISCOVER timeout handling.
3443
3444- Omapi was hardened against clients that pass in null values, thanks
3445 to a patch from Mark Jason Dominus.
3446
3447- A bug was fixed in dhclient that kept it from doing client-side
3448 ddns updates. Thanks to a patch from Andreas Gustafsson, which
3449 underwent some modification after review by Jason Vas Dias.
3450
3451- Failover implementations disconnected due to the network between
3452 them (rather than one of the two shutting down) will now try to
3453 re-establish the failover connection every 5 seconds, rather than
3454 to simply try once and give up until one of them is restarted.
3455 Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from Infoblox, and field testing
3456 by Greger V. Teigre which led to an enhancement to it.
3457
3458- A problem that kept DHCP Failover secondaries from tearing down
3459 ddns records was repaired. Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from
3460 Infoblox.
3461
3462- 64bit pointer sizes are detected properly on FreeBSD now.
3463
3464- A bug was repaired where the DHCP server would leave stale references
3465 to host records on leases it once thought about offering to certain
3466 clients. The result would be to apply host and 'known' scopes to the
3467 wrong clients (possibly denying booting). NOTE: The 'mis-host' patch
3468 that was being circulated as a workaround is not the way this bug was
3469 fixed. If you were a victim of this bug in 3.0.1, you are cautioned
3470 to proceed carefully and see if it fixes your problem.
3471
3472- A bug was repaired in the server's DHCPINFORM handling, where it
3473 tried to divine the client's address from the source packet and
3474 would get it wrong. Thanks to Anshuman Singh Rawat.
3475
3476- A log message was introduced to help illuminate the case where the
3477 server was unable to find a lease to assign to any BOOTP client.
3478 Thanks to Daniel Baker.
3479
3480- A minor dhcpd.conf.5 manpage error was fixed.
3481
3482 Changes since 3.0.1rc14
3483
3484- The global variable 'cur_time' was centralized and is now uniformly of a
3485 type #defined in system-dependent headers. It had previously been defined
3486 in one of many places as a 32-bit value, and this causes mayhem on 64-bit
3487 big endian systems. It probably wasn't too healthy on little endian
3488 systems either.
3489
3490- A printf format string error introduced in rc14 was repaired.
3491
3492- AIX system-dependent header file was altered to only define NO_SNPRINTF
3493 if the condition used to #ifdef in vsnprintf in AIX' header files
3494 is false.
3495
3496- The Alpha/OSF system-dependent header file was altered to define
3497 NO_SNPRINTF on OS revisions older than 4.0G.
3498
3499- omapip/test.c had string.h added to its includes.
3500
3501 Changes since 3.0.1rc13
3502
3503! CAN-2004-0460 - CERT VU#317350: Five stack overflow exploits were closed
3504 in logging messages with excessively long hostnames provided by the
3505 clients. It is highly probable that these could have been used by
3506 attackers to gain arbitrary root access on systems using ISC DHCP 3.0.1
3507 release candidates 12 or 13. Special thanks to Gregory Duchemin for
3508 both finding and solving the problem.
3509
3510! CAN-2004-0461 - CERT VU#654390: Once the above was closed, an opening
45d545f0 3511 in log_*() functions was evidenced, on some specific platforms where
98311e4b
DH
3512 vsnprintf() was not believed to be available and calls were wrapped to
3513 sprintf() instead. Again, credit goes to Gregory Duchemin for finding
3514 the problem. Calls to snprintf() are now linked to a distribution-local
3515 snprintf implementation, only in those cases where the architecture is
3516 not known to provide one (see includes/cf/[arch].h). If you experience
3517 linking problems with snprintf/vsnprintf or 'isc_print_' functions, this
3518 is where to look. This vulnerability did not exist in any previously
3519 published version of ISC DHCP.
3520
3521- Compilation on hpux 11.11 was repaired.
3522
3523- 'The cross-compile bug fix' was backed out.
3524
3525 Changes since 3.0.1rc12
3526
3527- Fixed a bug in omapi lease lookup function, to form the hardware
3528 address for the hash lookup correctly, thanks to a patch from
3529 Richard Hirst.
3530
3531- Fixed a bug where dhcrelay was sending relayed responses back to the
3532 broadcast address, but with the source's unicast mac address. Should
3533 now conform to rfc2131 section 4.1.
3534
3535- Cross-compile bug fix; use $(AR) instead of ar. Thanks to Morten Brorup.
3536
3537- Fixed a crash bug in dhclient where dhcpd servers that do not provide
3538 renewal times results in an FPE. As a side effect, dhclient can now
3539 properly handle 0xFFFFFFFF (-1) expiry times supplied by servers. Thanks
3540 to a patch from Burt Silverman.
3541
3542- The 'ping timeout' debugs from rc12 were removed to -DDEBUG only,
45d545f0 3543 and reformatted to correct a compilation error on Solaris platforms.
98311e4b
DH
3544
3545- A patch was applied which fixes a case where leases read from the
3546 leases database do not properly over-ride previously read leases.
3547
3548- dhcpctl.3 manpage was tweaked.
3549
3550 Changes since 3.0.1rc11
3551
3552- A patch from Steve Campbell was applied with minor modifications to
3553 permit reverse dns PTR record updates with values containing spaces.
3554
3555- A patch from Florian Lohoff was applied with some modifications to
3556 dhcrelay. It now discards packets whose hop count exceeds 10 by default,
3557 and a command-line option (-c) can be used to set this threshold.
3558
3559- A failover bug relating to identifying peers by name length instead of
3560 by name was fixed.
3561
45d545f0 3562- Declaring failover configs within shared-network statements should no
98311e4b
DH
3563 longer result in error.
3564
3565- The -nw command line option to dhclient now works.
3566
3567- Thanks to a patch from Michael Richardson:
3568 - Some problems with long option processing have been fixed.
3569 - Some fixes to minires so that updates of KEY records will work.
3570
3571- contrib/ms2isc was updated by Shu-Min Chang of the Intel Corporation.
3572 see contrib/ms2isc/readme.txt for revision notes.
3573
3574- Dhclient no longer uses shell commands to kill another instance of
3575 itself, it sends the signal directly. Thanks to a patch from Martin
3576 Blapp.
3577
3578- The FreeBSD dhclient-script was changed so that a failure to write to
3579 /etc/resolv.conf does not prematurely end the script. This keeps dhclient
3580 from looping infinitely when this is the case. Thanks to a patch from
3581 Martin Blapp.
3582
3583- A patch from Bill Stephens was applied which resolves a problem with lease
3584 expiry times in failover configurations.
3585
3586- A memory leak in configuration parsing was closed thanks to a patch from
3587 Steve G.
3588
3589- The function which discovers interfaces will now skip non-broadcast or
3590 point-to-point interfaces, thanks to a patch from David Brownlee.
3591
3592- Options not yet known by the dhcpd or dhclient have had their names
3593 changed such that they do not contain # symbols, in case they should ever
3594 appear in a lease file. An option that might have been named "#144" is
3595 now "unknown-144".
3596
3597- Another patch from Bill Stephens which allows the ping-check timeout to
3598 be configured as 'ping-timeout'. Defaults to 1.
3599
3600 Changes since 3.0.1rc10
3601
3602- Potential buffer overflows in minires repaired.
3603
3604- A change to the linux client script to use /bin/bash, since /bin/sh may
3605 not be bash.
3606
3607- Some missing va_end cleanups thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
3608
3609- A correction of boolean parsing syntax validation - some illegal syntaxes
3610 that worked before are now detected and produce errs, some legal syntaxes
3611 that errored before will now work properly.
3612
3613- Some search-and-replace errors that caused some options to change their
3614 names was repaired.
3615
3616- Shu-min Chang of the Intel corporation has contributed a perl script and
3617 module that converts the MS NT4 DHCP configuration to a ISC DHCP3
3618 configuration file.
3619
3620- Applied the remainder of the dhcpctl memory leak patch provided by Bill
3621 Squier at ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
3622
3623- Missing non-optional failover peer configurations will now result in a soft
3624 error rather than a null dereference.
3625
3626 Changes since 3.0.1rc9
3627
3628- A format string was corrected to fix compiler warnings.
3629
3630- A number of spelling corrections were made in the man pages.
3631
3632- The dhclient.conf.5 man page was changed to refer to do-forward-updates
3633 rather than a configuration option that doesn't exist.
3634
3635- A FreeBSD-specific bug in the interface removal handling was fixed.
3636
3637- A Linux-specific Token Ring detection problem was fixed.
3638
3639- Hashes removed from as-yet-unknown agent options, having those options
3640 appear in reality before we know about them will no longer produce
3641 self-corrupting lease databases.
3642
3643- dhclient will use the proper port numbers now when using the -g option.
3644
3645- A order-of-operations bug with 2 match clauses in 1 class statement is
3646 fixed thanks to a patch from Andrew Matheson.
3647
3648- Compilation problems on Solaris were fixed.
3649
3650- Compilation problems when built with DEBUG or DEBUG_PACKET were repaired.
3651
3652- A fix to the dhcp ack process which makes certain group options will be
3653 included in the first DHCPOFFER message was made thanks to a patch from
3654 Ling Gou.
3655
3656- A few memory leaks were repaired thanks to patches from Bill Squier at
3657 ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
3658
3659- A fix for shared-networks that sometimes give clients options for the
3660 wrong subnets (in particular, 'option routers') was applied, thanks to
3661 Ted Lemon for the patch.
3662
3663- Omshell's handling of dotted octets as values was changed such that dots
3664 one after the other produce zero values in the integer string.
3665
3666 Changes since 3.0.1rc8
3667
3668- Fix a format string vulnerability in the server that could lead to a
3669 remote root compromise (discovered by NGSEC Research Team, www.ngsec.com).
3670
3671- Add additional support for NetBSD/sparc64.
3672
3673- Fix a bug in the command-line parsing of the client. Also, resolve
3674 a memory leak.
3675
3676- Add better support for shells other than bash in the Linux client
3677 script.
3678
3679- Various build fixes for modern versions of FreeBSD and Linux.
3680
3681- Fix a bad bounds check when printing binding state names.
3682
3683- Clarify documentation about fixed-address and multiple addresses.
3684
3685- Fix a typo in the authoritative error message.
3686
3687- Make a log entry when we can't write a billing class.
3688
3689- Use conversion targets that are the right size on all architectures.
3690
3691- Increment the hop count when relaying.
3692
3693- Log a message when lease state is changed through OMAPI.
3694
3695- Don't rerun the shared_network when evaluating the pool.
3696
3697- Fix a reversed test in the parser.
3698
3699- Change the type of rbuf_max.
3700
3701- Make FTS_LAST a manifest constant to quiet warnings.
3702
3703 Changes since 3.0.1rc7
3704
3705- Fix two compiler warnings that are generated when compiling on Solaris
3706 with gcc. These stop the build, even though they weren't actually
3707 errors, because we prefer that our builds generate no warnings.
3708
3709 Changes since 3.0.1rc6
3710
3711- Don't allow a lease that's in the EXPIRED, RELEASED or RESET state
3712 to be renewed.
3713
3714- Implement lease stealing for cases where the primary has fewer leases
3715 than the secondary, as called for by the standard.
3716
3717- Add a fudge factor to the lease expiry acceptance code, (suggested
3718 by Kevin Miller of CMU).
3719
3720- Fix a bug in permit_list_match that made it much too willing to say
3721 that two permit lists matched.
3722
3723- Unless DEBUG_DNS_UPDATES is defined, print more user-friendly (and
3724 also more compact) messages about DNS updates.
3725
3726- Fix a bug in generating wire-format domain names for the FQDN option.
3727
3728- Fix a bug where the FQDN option would not be returned if the client
3729 requested it, contrary to the standard.
3730
3731- On Darwin, use the FreeBSD DHCP client script.
3732
3733- On NetBSD/sparc, don't check for casting warnings.
3734
3735- Add a flag in the DHCP client to disable updating the client's A
3736 record when sending an FQDN option indicating that the client is
3737 going to update its A record.
3738
3739- In the client, don't attempt a DNS update until one second after
3740 configuring the new IP address, and if the update times out, keep
3741 trying until a response, positive or negative, is received from the
3742 DNS server.
3743
3744- Fix an uninitialized memory bug in the DHCP client.
3745
3746- Apply some FreeBSD-specific bug fixes suggested by Murray Stokely.
3747
3748- Fix a bug in ns_parserr(), where it was returning the wrong sort
3749 of result code in some cases (suggested by Ben Harris of the
3750 NetBSD project).
3751
3752- Fix a bug in is_identifier(), where it was checking against EOF
3753 instead of the END_OF_FILE token (also suggested by Ben Harris).
3754
3755- Fix a bug where if an option universe contained no options, the
3756 DHCP server could dump core (Walter Steiner).
3757
3758- Fix a bug in the handling of encapsulated options.
3759
3760- Fix a bug that prevented NWIP suboptions from being processed.
3761
3762- Delete the FTS_BOOTP and FTS_RESERVED states and implement them
3763 as modifier flags to the FTS_ACTIVE state, as called for in the
3764 failover protocol standard.
3765
3766- Fix bugs in the pool merging code that resulted in references and
3767 dereferences of null pointers. This bug had no impact unless the
3768 POINTER_DEBUG flag was defined.
3769
3770- In the server, added a do-forward-updates flag that can be used to
3771 disable forward updates in all cases, so that sites that want the
3772 clients to take sole responsibility for updating their A record can
3773 do so.
3774
3775- Make it possible to disable optimization of PTR record updates.
3776
3777 Changes since 3.0.1rc5
3778
3779- Include some new documentation and changes provided by Karl Auer.
3780
3781- Add a workaround for some Lexmark printers that send a double-NUL-
3782 terminated host-name option, which would break DNS updates.
3783
3784- Fix an off-by-one error in the MAC-address checking code for
3785 DHCPRELEASE that was added in 3.0.1rc5.
3786
3787- Fix a bug where client-specific information was not being discarded
3788 from the lease when it expired or was released, resulting in
3789 problems if the lease was reallocated to a different client.
3790
3791- If more than one allocation pool is specified that has the same set
3792 of constraints as another allocation pool on the same shared
3793 network, merge the two pools.
3794
3795- Don't print an error in fallback_discard, since this just causes
3796 confusion and does not appear to be helping to encourage anyone to
3797 fix this bug.
3798
3799 Changes since 3.0.1rc4
3800
3801- Fix a bug that would cause the DHCP server to spin if asked to parse
3802 a certain kind of incorrect statement.
3803
3804- Fix a related bug that would prevent an error from being reported in
3805 the same case.
3806
3807- Additional documentation.
3808
3809- Make sure that the hardware address matches the lease when
3810 processing a DHCPRELEASE message.
3811
3812 Changes since 3.0.1rc3
3813
3814- A minor bug fix in the arguments to a logging function call.
3815- Documentation update for dhcpd.conf.
3816
adbef119 3817 Changes since 3.0.1rc2
98311e4b
DH
3818
3819- Allow the primary to send a POOLREQ message. This isn't what the current
3820 failover draft says to do, so we may have to back it out if I can't get the
3821 authors to relent, but the scheme for balancing that's specified in the
3822 current draft seems needlessly hairy, so I'm floating a trial balloon.
3823 The rc1 code did not implement the method described in the draft either.
3824
adbef119 3825 Changes since 3.0.1rc1
98311e4b
DH
3826
3827- Treat NXDOMAIN and NXRRSET as success when we are trying to delete a
3828 domain or RRSET. This allows the DHCP server to forget about a name
3829 it added to the DNS once it's been removed, even if the DHCP server
3830 wasn't the one that removed it.
3831
3832- Install defaults for failover maximum outstanding updates and maximum
3833 silent time. This prevents problems that might occur if these values
3834 were not configured.
3835
3836- Don't do DDNS deletes if ddns-update-style is none.
3837
3838- Return relay agent information options in DHCPNAK. This prevents DHCPNAK
3839 messages from being dropped when the relay agent information option contains
3840 routing information.
3841
3842- Fix a problem where coming up in recover wouldn't result in an update
3843 request being sent.
3844
3845- Add some more chatty messages when we start a recovery update and when it's
3846 done.
3847
3848- Fix a possible problem where some state might have been left around
3849 after the peer lost contact and regained contact about how many updates
3850 were pending.
3851
3852- Don't nix a lease update because of a lease conflict. This test has
3853 never (as far as I know) prevented a mistake, and it appears to cause
3854 problems with failover.
3855
3856- Add support in rc history code for keeping a selective history, rather
3857 than a history of all references and dereferences. This code is only used
3858 when extensive additional debugging is enabled.
3859
adbef119 3860 Changes since 3.0
98311e4b
DH
3861
3862- Make allocators for hash tables. As a side effect, this fixes a memory
3863 smash in the subclass allocation code.
3864
3865- Fix a small bug in omshell where if you try to close an object when
3866 no object is open, it dumps core.
3867
3868- Fix an obscure coredump that could occur on shutdown.
3869
3870- Fix a bug in the recording of host declaration rubouts in the lease file.
3871
3872- Fix two potential spins in the host deletion code.
3873
3874- Fix a core dump that would happen if an application tried to update
3875 a host object attribute with a null value.
3876
3877 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 12
3878
3879- Fix a memory leak in the evaluation code.
3880
3881- Fix an obscure core dump.
3882
3883- Print a couple of new warnings when parsing the configuration file
3884 when crucial information is left out.
3885
3886- Log "no free leases" as an error.
3887
3888- Documentation updates.
3889
3890 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 11
3891
3892- Always return a subnet selection option if one is sent.
3893
3894- Fix a warning that was being printed because an automatic data
3895 structure wasn't zeroed.
3896
3897- Fix some failover state transitions that were being handled
3898 incorrectly.
3899
3900- When supersede_lease is called on a lease whose end time has already
3901 expired, but for which a state transition has not yet been done, do
3902 a state transition. This fixes the case where if the secondary
3903 allocated a lease to a client and the lease "expired" while the
3904 secondary was in partner-down, no expiry event would actually
3905 happen, so the lease would remain active until the primary was
3906 restarted.
3907
3908 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 10
3909
3910- Fix a bug that was preventing released leases from changing state
3911 in failover-enabled pools.
3912
3913- Fix a core dump in the client identifier finder code (for host
3914 declarations).
3915
3916- Finish fixing a bug where bogus data would sometimes get logged to
3917 the dhclient.leases file because it was opened as descriptor 2.
3918
3919- Fix the Linux dhclient-script according to suggestions made by
3920 several people on the dhcp-client mailing list.
3921
3922- Log successful DNS updates at LOG_INFO, not LOG_ERROR.
3923
3924- Print an error message and refuse to run if a failover peer is
3925 defined but not referenced by any pools.
3926
3927- Correct a confusing error message in failover.
3928
eaf0b302

d758ad8c
TL
3941 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8 Patchlevel 1
3942
3943- Fix a parsing bug that broke dns updates (both interim and ad-hoc).
3944 This was introduced in rc8pl1 as an unintended result of the memory
3945 leakage fixes that were in pl1.
3946
3947- Fix a long-standing bug where the server would record that an update
3948 had been done for a client with no name, even though no update had
3949 been done, and then when the client's lease expired the deletion of
3950 that nonexistant record would time out because the name was the null
9a111ee8 3951 string.
d758ad8c
TL
3952
3953- Clean up the omshell, dhcpctl and omapi man pages a bit.

TL
3955 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8
3956
3957- Fix a bug that could cause the DHCP server to spin if
3958 one-lease-per-client was enabled.
3959
3960- Fix a bug that was causing core dumps on BSD/os in the presence of
3961 malformed packets.
3962
3963- In partner-down state, don't restrict lease lengths to MCLT.
3964
3965- On the failover secondary, record the MCLT received from the primary
3966 so that if we come up without a connection to the primary we don't
3967 wind up giving out zero-length leases.
3968
3969- Fix some compilation problems on BSD/os.
3970
3971- Fix a bunch of memory leaks.
3972
3973- Fix a couple of bugs in the option printer.
3974
3975- Fix an obscure error reporting bug in the dns update code, and also
3976 make the message clearer when a key algorithm isn't supported.
3977
3978- Fix a bug in the tracing code that prevented trace runs that used
3979 tcp connections from being played back.
3980
3981- Add some additional debugging capability for catching memory leaks
3982 on exit.
3983
3984- Make the client release the lease correctly on shutdown.
3985
3986- Add some configurability to the build system.
3987
3988- Install omshell manual page in man1, not man8.
3989
3990- Craig Gwydir sent in a patch that fixes a long-standing bug in the
3991 DHCP client that could cause core dumps, but that for some reason
3992 hadn't been noticed until now.
3993
3994 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 7
3995
3996- Fix a bug in failover where we weren't sending updates after a
3997 transition from communications-interrupted to normal.
3998
3999- Handle expired/released/reset -> free transition according to the
4000 protocol specification (this works - the other way not only wasn't
4001 conformant, but also didn't work).
4002
4003- Add a control object in both client and server that allows either
4004 daemon to be shut down cleanly.
4005
4006- When writing a lease, if we run out of disk space, shut down the
4007 output file and insist on writing a new one before proceeding.
4008
4009- In the server, if the OMAPI listener port is occupied, keep trying
4010 to get it, rather than simply giving up and exiting.
4011
4012- Support fetching variables from leases and also updating and adding
4013 variables to leases via OMAPI.
4014
4015- If two failover peers have wildly different clocks, refuse to start
4016 doing failover.
4017
4018- Fix a bug in the DNS update code that could cause core dumps when
4019 running on alpha processors.
4020
4021- Fixed a bug in ddns updates for static lease entries, thanks to a
4022 patch from Andrey M Linkevitch.
4023
4024- Add support for Darwin/MacOS X
4025
4026- Install omshell (including new documentation).
4027
4028- Support DNS updates in the client (this is a very obscure feature
4029 that most DHCP client users probably will not be able to use).
4030
4031- Somewhat cleaner status logging in the client.
4032
4033- Make OMAPI key naming syntax compatible with the way keys are
4034 actually named (key names are domain names).
4035
4036- Fix a bug in the lease file writer.
4037
4038- Install DHCP ISC headers in a different place than BIND 9 ISC
4039 headers, to avoid causing trouble in BIND 9 builds.
4040
4041- Don't send updates for attributes on an object when the attributes
4042 haven't changed. Support deleting attributes on remote objects.
4043
4044- Fix a number of bugs in omshell, and add the unset and refresh
4045 statements.
4046
4047- Handle disconnects in OMAPI a little bit more intelligently (so that
4048 the caller gets ECONNRESET instead of EINVAL).
4049
4050- Fix a bunch of bugs in the handling of clients that have existing
4051 leases when the try to renew their leases while failover is
4052 operating.
4053
eaf0b302
TL
4054 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 6
4055
4056- Fix a core dump that could happen when processing a DHCPREQUEST from
4057 a client that had a host declaration that contained both a
4058 fixed-address declaration and a dhcp-client-identifier option
4059 declaration, if the client identifier was longer than nine bytes.
4060
4061- Fix a memory leak that could happen in certain obscure cases when
4062 using omapi to manipulate leases.
4063
4064- Fix some bugs and omissions in omshell.
4065

TL
4066 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 5
4067
4068- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that prevented objects in
4069 chains from having their reference counts decreased on dereference.
4070
4071- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that would prevent object
4072 chains from being freed upon removal of the last reference external
4073 to the chain.
4074
4075- Fix a number of other memory leaks in the OMAPI protocol subsystem.
4076
4077- Add code in the OMAPI protocol handler to trace memory leakage.
4078
4079- Clean up the memory allocation/reference history printer.

98311e4b 4081- Support input of dotted quads and colon-separated hex lists as
eaf0b302

4089
4090- Fix a bug that would prevent leases from being abandoned properly on
4091 DHCPDECLINE.
4092
4093- Fix failover peer OMAPI support.
4094
4095- In failover, correctly handle expiration of leases. Previously,
4096 leases would never be reclaimed because they couldn't make the
4097 transition from EXPIRED to FREE.
4098
4099- Fix some broken failover state transitions.
4100
4101- Documentation fixes.
4102
4103- Take out an unnecessary check in DHCP relay agent information option
4104 stashing code that was preventing REBINDING clients from rebinding.
4105
4106- Prevent failover peers from allocating leases in DHCPREQUEST
4107 processing if the lease belongs to the other server.
4108
4109- Record server version in lease file introductory comment.
4110
4111- Correctly report connection errors in OMAPI and failover.
4112
4113- Make authentication signature algorithm name comparisons in OMAPI
4114 case-insensitive.
4115
4116- Fix compile problem on SunOS 4.x
4117
98311e4b 4118- If a signature algorithm is not terminated with '.', terminate it so
eaf0b302
TL
4119 that comparisons between fully-qualified names will work
4120 consistently.
4121
4122- Different SIOCGIFCONF probe code, may "fix" problem on some Linux
4123 systems with the probe not working correctly.
4124
4125- Don't allow user to type omapi key on command line of omshell.

4128
4129- Do lease billing on startup in a way that I *think* will finally do
4130 the billing correctly - the previous method could overbill as a
4131 result of duplicate leases.

4138 Herranz for figuring out the main problem.
4139
4140- Fix some reference counting errors on host entries that were causing
4141 core dumps.
4142
4143- Fix a byte-swap bug in the token ring code, thanks to Jochen
4144 Friedrich.
4145
4146- Fix a bug in lease billing, thanks to Jonas Bulow.
4147
4148 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 2
4149
4150- Change the conditions under which a DHCPRELEASE is actually
4151 committed to be consistent with lease binding states rather than
98311e4b 4152 using the lease end time. This may fix some problems with the
892fe689
TL
4153 billing class code.
4154
4155- Fix a bug where lease updates would fail on Digital Unix (and maybe
4156 others) because malloc was called with a size of zero.
4157
4158- Fix a core dump that happens when the DHCP server can't create its
4159 trace file.
4160
79ea3de8 4161 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 1 Patchlevel 1
87784777 4162
79ea3de8
TL
4163- Fix the dhcp_failover_put_message to not attempt to allocate a
4164 zero-length buffer. Some versions of malloc() fail if you try to
4165 allocate a zero-length buffer, and this was causing problems on,
4166 e.g., Digital Unix.
4167
4168- Fix a case where the failover code was printing an error message
4169 when no error had occurred.
4170
4171- Fix a problem where when a server went down and back up again, the
4172 peer would not see a state transition and so would stay in the
4173 non-communicating state.
4174
4175- Be smart about going into recover_wait.
4176
4177- Fix a problem in the failover implementation where peers would fail
4178 to come into sync if interrupted in the RECOVER state. This could
4179 have been the cause of some problems people have reported recently.
4180
4181- Fix a problem with billing classes where they would not be unbilled
4182 when the client lease expired.
4183
4184- If select fails, figure out which descriptor is bad, and cut it out
4185 of the I/O loop. This prevents a potentially nasty spin. I
4186 haven't heard any report it in a while, but it came up consistently
4187 in testing.
4188
4189- Fix a bug in the relay agent where if you specified interfaces on
4190 the command line, it would fail.
4191
4192- Fix a couple of small bugs in the omapi connection object (no known
4193 user impact).
4194
4195- Add the missing 3.0 Beta 1 lease conversion script.
4196
4197- Read dhcp client script hooks if they exist, rather than only if
4198 they're executable.

4210- There is a known problem with the DHCP server doing failover on
4211 Compaq Alpha systems. This patchlevel is not a release candidate
4212 because of this bug. The bug should be straightforward to fix, so
4213 a new release candidate is expected shortly.

4219
4220- Went over problematic failover state transitions and made them all
4221 work, so that failover should now much less fragile.
4222
4223- Add some dhcpctl and omapi documentation
4224
4225- Fix compile errors when compiling with unusual predefines.
4226
4227- Make Token Ring work on Linux 2.4
4228
4229- Fix the Digital Unix BPF_WORDALIGN bug.
4230
4231- Fix some dhcp client documentation errors.
4232
4233- Update some parts of the README file.

4238
4239- Fix a bug in the DNS update code where a status code was not being
4240 checked. This may have been causing core dumps.
4241
4242- When parsing the lease file, if a lease declaration includes a
4243 billing class statement, and the lease already has a billing class,
4244 unbill the old class.
4245
4246- When processing failover transactions, where acks will be deferred,
4247 process the state transition immediately.
4248
4249- Don't try to use the new SIOCGIFCONF buffer size detection code on
4250 Linux 2.0, which doesn't provide this functionality.
4251
4252- Apply a patch suggested by Tuan Uong for a problem in dlpi.c.
4253
4254- Fix a problem in using the which command in the configure script.
4255
4256- Fix a parse error in the client when setting up an omapi listener.
4257
4258- Document the -n and -g flags to the client.
4259
4260- Make sure there is always a stdin and stdout on startup. This
4261 prevents shell scripts from accidentally writing error messages into
4262 configuration files that happen to be opened as stderr.
4263
4264- If an interface is removed, the client will now notice that it is
4265 gone rather than spinning. This has only been tested on NetBSD.
4266
4267- The client will attempt to get an address even if it can't create a
4268 lease file.
4269
4270- Don't overwrite tracefiles.
4271
4272- Fix some memory allocation bugs in failover.

4288
4289- Fix a memory smash in the quotify code, which was introduced in
4290 pl19.
4291
4292- Actually fix the spin described in the changes for pl20. The
4293 previous fix only partially fixed the problem - enough to get it
4294 past the regression test.

4299 POINTER_DEBUG enabled.

4302 DHCPREQUEST.

4312- Allow the server to be placed in partner-down state using OMAPI.
4313 (Damien Neil)
4314
4315- Implement omshell, which can be used to do arbitrary things to the
4316 server (in theory). (Damien Neil)
4317
4318- Fix a case where if a client had two different leases the server could
4319 actually dereference the second one when it hadn't been referenced,
4320 leading to memory corruption and a core dump. (James Brister)
4321
4322- Fix a case where a client could request the address of another client's
4323 lease, but find_lease wouldn't detect that the other client had it, and
4324 would attempt to allocate it to the client, resulting in a lease conflict
4325 message.
4326
4327- Fix a case where a client with more than one client identifier could be
4328 given a lease where the hardware address was correct but the client
4329 identifier was not, resulting in a lease conflict message.
4330
98311e4b 4331- Fix a problem where the server could write out a colon-separated
3350f5b7
TL
4332 hex list as a value for a variable, which would then not parse.
4333 The fix is to always write strings as quoted strings, with any
4334 non-printable characters quoted as octal escape sequences. So
4335 a file written the old way still won't work, but new files written
4336 this way will work.
4337

TL
4338- Fix documentation for sending non-standard options.
4339
4340- Use unparsable names for unknown options. WARNING: this will
4341 break any configuration files that use the option-nnn convention.
4342 If you want to continue to use this convention for some options,
4343 please be sure to write a definition, like this:
4344
4345 option option-nnn code nnn = string;
4346
4347 You can use a descriptive name instead of option-nnn if you like.
4348
4349- Fix a problem where we would see a DHCPDISCOVER/DHCPOFFER/
4350 DHCPREQUEST/DHCPACK/DHCPREQUEST/DHCPNAK sequence. This was the
4351 result of a deceptively silly bug in supersede_lease.
4352
4353- Fix client script exit status check, according to a fix supplied by
4354 Hermann Lauer.

4357 messages.

TL
4366- Add support for transaction tracing. This allows the state of the
4367 DHCP server on startup, and all the subsequent transactions, to be
4368 recorded in a file which can then be played back to reproduce the
4369 behaviour of the DHCP server. This can be used to quickly
4370 reproduce bugs that cause core dumps or corruption, and also for
4371 tracking down memory leaks.
4372
4373- Incorporate some bug fixes provided by Joost Mulders for the DLPI
4374 package which should clear up problems people have been seeing on
4375 Solaris.
4376
4377- Fix bugs in the handling of options stored as linked lists (agent
4378 options, fqdn options and nwip options) that could cause memory
4379 corruption and core dumps.
4380
4381- Fix a bug in DHCPREQUEST handling that resulted in DHCPNAK messages
4382 not being send in some cases when they were needed.
4383
4384- Make the lease structure somewhat more compact.
4385
4386- Make initial failover startup *much* faster. This was researched
4387 and implemented by Damien Neil.
4388
4389- Add a --version flag to all executables, which prints the program
4390 name and version to standard output.

4407 would cause two DHCPDISCOVERS to be sent back-to-back on startup.

4426
4427- Finish fixing a long-standing bug in the agent options code. This
4428 was causing core dumps and failing to operate correctly - in
4429 particular, agent option stashing wasn't working. Agent option
4430 stashing should now be working, meaning that agent options can be
4431 used in class statements to control address allocation.
4432
4433- Fix up documentation.
4434
4435- Fix a couple of small memory leaks that would have added up
4436 significantly in a high-demand situation.
4437
4438- Add a log-facility configuration parameter.
4439
4440- Fix a compile error on some older operating systems.
4441
4442- Add the ability in the client to execute certain statements before
4443 transmitting packets to the server. Handy for debugging; not much
4444 practical use otherwise.
4445
4446- Don't send faked-out giaddr when renewing or bound - again, useful
4447 for debugging.

4451- Fixed a problem where the fqdn decoder would sometimes try to store
4452 an option with an (unsigned) negative length, resulting in a core
4453 dump on some systems.
4454
4455- Work around the Win98 DHCP client, which NUL-terminates the FQDN
4456 option.
4457
4458- Work around Win98 and Win2k clients that will claim they want to do
4459 the update even when they don't have any way to do it.
4460
4461- Fix some log messages that can be printed when failover is operating
4462 that were not printing enough information.
4463
4464- It was possible for a DHCPDISCOVER to get an allocation even when
4465 the state machine said the server shouldn't be responding.
4466
4467- Don't load balance DHCPREQUESTs from clients in RENEWING and
4468 REBINDING, since in RENEWING, if we heard it, it's for us, and in
4469 REBINDING, the client wouldn't have got to REBINDING if its primary
4470 were answering.
4471
4472- When we get a bogus state lease binding state transition, don't do
4473 the transition.

4482- Albert Herranz tracked down and fixed a subtle bug in the base64
4483 decoder that would prevent any key with an 'x' in its base64
4484 representation from working correctly.
4485
4486- Thanks to Chris Cheney and Michael Sanders, we have a fix for the
4487 hang that they both spotted in the DHCP server - when
4488 one-lease-per-client was set, the code to release the "other" lease
4489 could spin.
4490
4491- Fix a problem with alignment of the input buffer in bpf in cases
4492 where two packets arrive in the same bpf read.
4493
4494- Fix a problem where the relay agent would crash if you specified an
4495 interface name on the command line.
4496
4497- Add the ability to conditionalize client behaviour based on the
4498 client state.
4499
4500- Add support for the FQDN option, and added support for a new way of
4501 doing ddns updates (ddns update style interim) that allows more than
4502 one DHCP server to update the DNS for the same network(s). This
4503 was implemented by Damien Neil with some additional functionality
4504 added by Ted Lemon.
4505
4506- Damien added a "log" statement, so that the configuration file can
4507 be made to log debugging information and other information.
4508
4509- Fixed a bug that caused option buffers not to be terminated with an
4510 end option.
4511
4512- Fixed a long-standing bug in the support for option spaces where the
4513 options are stored as an ordered list rather than in a hash table,
4514 which could theoretically result in memory pool corruption.
4515
4516- Prevent hardware declarations with no actual hardware address from
4517 being written as something unparsable, and behave correctly in the
4518 face of a null hardware address on input.
4519
4520- Allow key names to be FQDNs, and qualify the algorithm name if it is
4521 specified unqualified.
4522
4523- Modify the DDNS update code so that it never prints the "resolver
4524 failed" message, but instead says *why* the resolver failed.
4525
4526- Officially support the subnet selection option, which now has an
4527 RFC.
4528
4529- Fix a build bug on MacOS X.
4530

4549 options at renewal time.

4552 configuration language.

4560
4561- Teach pretty_print_option to print options in option spaces other than
4562 the DHCP option space.

4564- Add a warning message if the RHS of a not is not boolean.
4565
4566- Never select for more than a day, because some implementations of
4567 select will just fail if the timeout is too long (!).
4568
4569- Fix a case where a DHCPDISCOVER from an unknown network would be
4570 silently dropped.
4571
4572- Fix a bug where if a client requested an IP address for which a different
4573 client had the lease, the DHCP server would reallocate it anyway.

4576 will be correctly updated.

TL
4589- Fix a possible DoS attack where a client could cause the checksummer
4590 to dump core. This was a read, not a write, so it shouldn't be
4591 possible to exploit it any further than that.
4592
4593- Implement client- and server-side support for using the Client FQDN
4594 option.
4595
4596- Support for other option spaces in the client has been added. This
4597 means that it is now possible to define a vendor option space on the
4598 client, request options in that space from the server (which must
4599 define the same option space), and then use those options in the
4600 client. This also allows NWIP and Client FQDN options to be used
4601 meaningfully.
4602
4603- Add object initializer support. This means that objects can now be
4604 initialized to something other than all-zeros when allocated, which
4605 makes, e.g., the interface object support code a little more robust.
4606
4607- Fix an off-by-one bug in the host stuffer. This was causing host
4608 deletes not the work, and may also have been causing OMAPI
4609 connections to get dropped. Thanks to James Brister for tracking
4610 this one down!
4611

4647 spawn with.

4650 potentially bogus leases into the in-memory database.

4653 for OMAPI.
