0171be2d 7 NEW FEATURES
16449d9c 8
5ade3c84 9The major "theme" for ISC DHCP 4.3.x was to update the support for
324257e3
SR
10DHCPv6 to include several of the features that have been available
11for DHCPv4. These include:
37ec5845 12
324257e3
SR
13- Support the use of classes
14
15- Support for on_commit, on_expiry and on_release statements
16
4809ef5c 17- Better logging of address assignments
324257e3
SR
18
19- Support for using DHCPv6 relay options in expressions
20
21This release also adds suppport for the standard DDNS as described in the
22current RFCs as well as enhancing support for dynamically adding and removing
23subclasses via OMAPI.

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

267a248d
TM
61 additional algorithms: hmac-sha1, hmac-sha224, hmac-sha256, hmac-sha384,
62 and hmac-sha512
3ffc07de
TM
63 [ISC-Bugs #36947]
64
fa54ba10
TM
65- Added check for invalid failover message type. Thanks to Tobias Stoeckmann
66 working with the OpendBSD project who spotted the issue and provided the
67 patch.
e1b18c69
TM
68 [ISC-Bugs #36653]
69
fa54ba10
TM
70- Corrected rate limiting checks for bad packet logging. Thanks to Tobias
71 Stoeckmann working with the OpendBSD project who spotted the issue and
72 provided the patch.
0ce1aa94
TM
73 [ISC-Bugs #36897]
74
3956569b
TM
75- Log statements depicting what files will be used by the server now occur
76 after the configuration file has been processed.
77 [ISC-Bugs #36671]
78
36e2c224 79- Addressed Coverity issues reported as of 07-31-2014:
6444928c 80 [ISC-Bugs #36712] Corrects Coverity reported "high" impact issues.
c7c11ea1 81 [ISC-Bugs #36933] Corrects Coverity reported "medium" impact issues
6444928c
TM
82 [ISC-Bugs #37708] Fixes compilation error in dst_api.c seen in older
83 compilers that was introduced by #36712
906ec9a7 84
2a537542
TM
85- Server now supports a failover split value of 256.
86 [ISC-Bugs] #36664]
87
1dceab6c
SR
88- Remove unneeded error #defines. These defines were included in case
89 external programs required the older versions of the macro. They
90 have been #ifdeffed for now and will be removed at a future date.
91 See site.h for the #define to include them again, but you should
92 switch to using the DHCP_R_* versions instead of the ISC_R_* versions.
93 Also ISC_R_MULTIPLE has been removed as it is also deifned in bind.
94 [ISC-Bugs #37128]
95
bd49432f
TM
96- Added checks in range6 and prefix6 statement parsing to ensure addresses
97 are within the declared. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the bug
98 report and patch.
99 [ISC-Bugs #32453]
7ff6ae5a
TM
100 [ISC-Bugs #17766]
101 [ISC-Bugs #18510]
102 [ISC-Bugs #23698]
103 [ISC-Bugs #28883]
104
105- Addressed checksum issues:
106 Added checksum readiness check to Linux packet filtering which eliminates
107 invalid packet drops due to checksum errors when checksum offloading is
108 in use. Based on dhcp-4.2.2-xen-checksum.patch made to the Fedora project.
109 [ISC-Bugs #22806]
110 [ISC-Bugs #15902]
111 [ISC-Bugs #17739]
112 [ISC-Bugs #18010]
113 [ISC-Bugs #22556]
114 [ISC-Bugs #29769]
115 Inbound packets with UPD checksums of 0xffff now validate correctly rather
116 than being dropped.
e046c826
TM
117 [ISC-Bugs #24216]
118 [ISC-Bugs #25587]
119
120- Added the echo-client-id configuration parameter to the server configuration.
121 The server now supports RFC 6842 compliant behavior by setting a new
122 configuration parameter, echo-client-id. When enabled, the server will
123 include the client identifier option (Option code 61) if received, in its
124 responses. The server identifier returned in NAKs (if enabled) will now
125 be the globally defined value (if one) if the server cannot attribute the
126 inbound request to a known subnet.
f542e92b
SR
127 [ISC-Bugs #35958]
128 [ISC-Bugs #32545]
bd49432f 129
0a7e1a8a
TM
130- Added support of the configuration parameter, use-host-decl-names, to
131 BOOTP request handling.
132 [ISC-Bugs #36233]
133
6067cd48
TM
134- Added logic to ignore the signal, SIGPIPE, which ensures write failures
135 will be delivered as errors rather than as SIGPIPE signals on all OSs.
136 Thanks to Marius Tomaschewski from SUSE who reported the issue and provided
137 the patch upon which the fix is based.
138 [ISC-Bugs #32222]
139
21d30347
SR
140- In the failover code, handle the case of communications being interrupted
141 when the servers are dealing with POTENTIAL-CONFLICT. This patch allows
142 the primary to accept the secondary moving from POTENTIAL-CONFLICT to
143 RESOLUTION-INTERRUPTED as well as handling the bind update process better.
144 In addition the code to resend update or update all requests has been
145 modified to send requests more often.
146 [ISC-Bugs #36810]
147 [ISC-Bugs #20352]
148
d9b2a590
TM
149- By default, the server will now choose the value to use in the forward DNS
150 name from the following in order of preference:
151
152 1. FQDN option if provided by the client
153 2. Host name option if provided by the client
154 3. Configured option host-name if defined
155
156 As before, this may be overridden by defining ddns-hostname to the desired
157 value (or expression). In addition, the server logic has been extended to
158 use the value of the host name declaration if use-host-decl-names is enabled
159 and no other value is available.
160 [ISC-Bugs #21323]
161
f3a44c10
TM
162- DNS updates were being attempted when dhcp-cache-threshold enabled the use of
163 the existing lease and the forward DNS name had not changed. This has been
164 corrected.
165 [ISC-Bugs #37368]
166
04daf4fe
TM
167- Corrected an issue which caused dhclient to incorrectly form the result when
168 prepending or appending to the IPv4 domain-search option,received from the
169 server, when either of the values being combined contain compressed
170 components.
171 [ISC-Bugs #20558]
172
7116a34f
TM
173- Added the server-id-check parameter to the server configuration.
174 This parameter allows run-time control over whether or not a server,
175 participating in failover, verifies the dhcp-server-identifier option in
176 DHCP REQUESTs against the server’s id before processing the request.
177 Formerly, enabling this behavior was done at compilation time through
178 the use of the #define, SERVER_ID_CHECK, which has been removed from site.h
179 The functionality is now only available through the new runtime paramater.
180 [ISC-Bugs #37551]
181
7d9dd306
TM
182 Changes since 4.3.1b1
183
184- Modify the linux and openwrt dhclient scripts to process information
185 from a stateless request. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the
186 bug report and patch.
f542e92b 187 [ISC-Bugs #36102]
7d9dd306 188
29c6b4f1
SR
189- Remove more unused RCSID tags. These weren't noticed in 4.3 as
190 the code isn't used anymore but we remove them here to keep the
191 code consistent across versions.
192 [ISC-Bugs #36451]
193
57187138 194 Changes since 4.3.0
01a44a77 195
5ade3c84 196- Tidy up several small tickets.
38c4774a

198 was put in the wrong place in the DUID string.
199 [ISC-Bugs #20962]
200 Add code to parse "do-forward-updates" as well as "do-forward-update"
201 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat.
202 [ISC-Bugs #31328]
203 Remove log_priority as it isn't currently used.
204 [ISC-Bugs #33397]

212 to add multiple keys for a single zone. Thanks to a patch from Jiri
213 Popelka at Red Hat.
214 [ISC-Bugs #31892]
215
0da37b4c
SR
216- Fix some minor issues in the dst code.

158a34fb
SR
220 [ISC-Bugs #35058]
221
dceef873
SR
222- Update the partner's stos (start time of state, basically when we last
223 heard from this partner) field when updating the state in failover.
224 [ISC-Bugs #35549]
225
5ade3c84 226- Modify the overload processing to allow space for the remote agent ID.
1be2ba15
SR
227 [ISC-Bugs #35569]
228 Handle the ordering of the SUBNET_MASK option even if it is the last
229 option in the list.
230 [ISC-Bugs #24580]
231
388cba45
SR
232- Remove the code that allows a server to follow RFC3315 instead of
233 the subsequent errata from August 2010 when determining which IAs
234 to include if no addresses will be assigned.
2c4be1d7 235 [ISC-Bugs #28938]
388cba45 236
2c4be1d7
SR
237- Remove unused RCSID tags.
238 [ISC-Bugs #35846]
388cba45 239
b6ab3f6c
SR
240- Correct the v6 client timing code. When doing the timing backoff
241 for MRT limit it to MRD.
5ade3c84 242 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the bug report and fix.
b6ab3f6c
SR
243 [ISC-Bugs #21238
244
f950de77
SR
245- Add a log entry when killing a client and remove the PID files
246 when a server, relay or client are killed.
247 [ISC-Bugs #16970]
248 [ISC-Bugs #17258]
249
5ade3c84
SR
250- Some minor cleanups in the client code.
251 In addition to checking for dhcpc check for bootpc in the services list.
02b0bdc3
SR
252 [ISC-Bugs #18933]
253 Correct the client code to only try to get a lease once when the
254 given the "-1" argument.
5ade3c84 255 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the bug report and fix.
02b0bdc3
SR
256 [ISC-Bugs #26735]
257 When asked for the version don't send the output to syslog.
258 [ISC-Bugs #29772]
259 Add the next server information to the environment variables for
260 use by the client script. In order to avoid changing the client
261 lease file the next server information isn't written to it.
262 Thanks to Tomas Hozza at Red Hat for the suggestion and a prototype fix.
263 [ISC-Bugs #33098]
264
5ade3c84 265- Several updates to the dhcp server code.
d8c7c34e
SR
266 When not in quiet mode print out the files being used.
267 [ISC-Bugs #17551]
268 As accessing some pid files may require privileges move the dropping
269 of permission bits due to the paranoia patch to be after the pid code.
5ade3c84 270 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the bug report and fix.
d8c7c34e
SR
271 [ISC-Bugs #25806]
272 When processing a "--version" request don't output the version information
273 to syslog.
274
5ade3c84 275- Add the "enable-log-pid" build option to the configure script. When enabled
00e9af8e
SR
276 this causes the client, server and relay programs to include the PID
277 number in syslog messages.
278 Thanks to Marius Tomaschewski for the suggestion and proto-patch.
279 [ISC-Bugs #29713]
280
9279a3d7
SR
281- Add a #define to specify the prefix length used when a client attempts
282 to configure an address. This can be modified by editing includes/site.h.
283 By default it is set to 64. While 128 might be a better choice it would
284 also be a change for currently running systems, so we have left it at 64.
63c8800c 285 [ISC-Bugs #DHCP-2]
9279a3d7 286
79818c93
SR
287- Add a run time option to the client "-df" to allow the administrator to
288 point to a second lease file the client can search for a DUID. This can
289 be used to allow a v4 and a v6 instance of the client to share a DUID.
290 The second file will only be searched if there isn't a DUID in the main
291 lease file and the DUID will be written out to the main lease file.
292 [ISC-Bugs #34886]
293
8a2e40cf
SR
294- Have the client fsync the lease file to avoid lease corruption if the
295 client hibernates or otherwise shuts down.
296 [ISC-Bugs #35894]
297
59a351d6
SR
298- Add a check for L2VLAN in bpf.c to help support VLAN interfaces
299 Thanks to Steinar Haug for the suggestion.
300 [ISC-Bugs #36033]
301
0ab4a716
SR
302- Modify the handling of the resolv.conf file to allow the DHCP
303 process to start up even if the resolv.conf file has problems.
304 [ISC-Bugs #35989]
305
a89fd0cd 306- Add threshold logging functionality. Two new options,
250f7134
SR
307 log-threshold-low and log-threshold-high, indicate to the
308 server if and when it should log an error message as addresses
309 in a pool are used.
310 [ISC-Bugs #34487]
311
b05e05b7
SR
312- Add code to properly dereference a pointer in the dhclient code
313 on an error condition.
e9326fd0 314 [ISC-Bugs #36194]
b05e05b7 315
ad80055f
SR
316- Add code to help clean up soft leases.
317 [ISC-Bugs #36304]
318
e9326fd0
SR
319- Disable the gentle shutdown functionality until we can determine
320 the best way to present it to remove or reduce the side effects.
321 [ISC-Bugs #36066]
322
01a44a77
SR
323 Changes since 4.3.0rc1
324
325- None
326 Changes since 4.3.0b1
327
328- Tidy up receive packet processing.
329 Thanks to Brad Plank of GTA for reporting the issue and suggesting
330 a possible patch.
331 [ISC-Bugs #34447]
332
333 Changes since 4.3.0a1
334
335- Modify the message displayed when a process hits a fatal error.
336 The new message is much shorter and simply points to the README
337 and our website for directions on bug submissions.
338 [ISC-Bugs #24789]
339
340- Handle an absent resolv.conf file better.
341 [ISC-Bugs #35194]
342
6980ae03 343 Changes since 4.2.0 (new features)
51b8a8a0
SR
344
345- If a client renews before 'dhcp-cache-threshold' percent of its lease
346 has elapsed (default 25%), the server will reuse the allocated lease
347 (provide a lease within the currently allocated lease-time) rather
348 than extend or renew the lease. This absolves the server of needing
349 to perform an fsync() operation on the lease database before reply,
350 which improves performance. [ISC-Bugs #22228]
80778e94 351 Updated this patch to support asynchronous DDNS. If the server is
8cd88e20 352 attempting to do DDNS on a lease it should be udpated and written to
4809ef5c 353 disk even if that wouldn't be necessary due to the thresholding.
8cd88e20 354 [ISC-Bugs #26311]
51b8a8a0 355
6980ae03
SR
356- The 'no available billing' log line now also logs the name of the last
357 matching billing class tried before failing to provide a billing.
358 [ISC-Bugs #21759]
359
32e651c4
SR
360- A problem with missing get_hw_addr function when --enable-use-sockets
361 was used is now solved on GNU/Linux, BSD and GNU/Hurd systems. Note
362 that use-sockets feature was not tested on those systems. Client and
363 server code no longer use MAX_PATH constant that is not defined on
3cb6f9bb 364 GNU/Hurd systems. [ISC-Bugs #25979]
32e651c4 365
67418698
SR
366- Add a perl script in the contrib directory, dhcp-lease-list.pl, which
367 can parse v4 lease files and output the lease information in a more
368 human friendly manner. This was written by Christian Hammers with
369 some updates by vom and ISC. This is contributed code and is not
370 supported by ISC; however it may be useful to some users.
371 [ISC-Bugs #20680]
372
a7341359 373- Add support in v6 for on-commit, on-expire and on-release.
4809ef5c 374 [ISC-Bugs #27912]
a7341359 375
01fa619f
SR
376- Add support for using classes with v6.
377 [ISC-Bugs #26510]
378
d7d9c0c7
SR
379- Update the DDNS code to current standards and allow for sharing
380 of DDNS entries between v4 and v6 clients. The new code is used
381 if the ddns-update-style is set to "standard", the older code is
382 still available if ddns-update-style is set to "interim". The
383 oldest DDNS code "ad-hoc" has been removed. Thanks to Thomas Pegeot
384 who submitted a patch for this issue. This patch is based on
385 that work with some modifications.
64fb661c 386 [ISC-Bugs #21139]
1534fff7 387
cde11a4c
SR
388- Add a configuration option to the server to suppress using fsync().
389 Enabling this option will mean that fsync() is never called. This
390 may provide better performance but there is also a risk that a lease
391 will not be properly written to the disk after it has been issued
392 to a client and before the server stops. Using this option is
393 not recommended.
64fb661c 394 [ISC-Bugs #34810]
cde11a4c 395
f88446f1
SR
396- Add some logging statements to indicate when the server is ready
397 to serve. One statement is emitted after the server has finished
398 reading its files and is about to enter the dispatch loop.
399 This is "Server starting service.".
400 The second is emitted when a server determines that both it and
401 its failover peer are in the normal state.
402 This is "failover peer <name>: Both servers normal."
64fb661c 403 [ISC-Bugs #33208]
f88446f1 404
619304cd
SR
405- Add support for accessing options from v6 relays. The v6relay
406 statement allows the administrator to choose which relay to
407 use when searching for an option, see the dhcp-options man page
6b9c9f87
SR
408 for a description. The host-identifier option has also been
409 updated to support the use of relay options, see the dhcpd.conf
619304cd
SR
410 man page for a description.
411 [ISC-Bugs #19598]
412
e54ff84f 413- When doing DDNS if there isn't an appropriate zone statement attempt
80778e94 414 to find a reasonable nameserver via a DNS resolver. This restores
e54ff84f
SR
415 some functionality that was lost in the transition to asynchronous
416 DDNS. Due to the lack of security and increase in fragility of the
417 system when using this feature we strongly recommend the use of
418 appropriate zone statements rather than using this functionality.
419 [ISC-Bugs #30461]
420
61ef216b

421- Add support for specifying the address from which to send
422 DDNS updates on the DHCP server. There are two new options
423 "ddns-local-address4" and "ddns-local-address6" that each take
424 one instance of their respective address types.

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

452 is no longer truncated to one octet.

7dc4e69c 460
01a44a77
SR
461- An optimization described in the failover protocol draft is now included,
462 which permits a DHCP server operating in communications-interrupted state
463 to 'rewind' a lease to the state most recently transmitted to its peer,
464 greatly increasing a server's endurance in communications-interrupted.
465 This is supported using a new 'rewind state' record on the dhcpd.leases
466 entry for each lease.

01a44a77 468- Fix the trace code which was broken by the changes to the DDNS code.
d0a10f6a 469
01a44a77
SR
470- Update the fsync code to work with the changes to the DDNS code. It now
471 uses a timer instead of noticing if there are no more packets to process.
dc9d7b08 472
01a44a77
SR
473- When constructing the DNS name structure from a text string append
474 the root to relative names. This satisfies a requirement in the DNS
475 library that names be absolute instead of relative and prevents DHCP
476 from crashing. [ISC-Bugs #21054]

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

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

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

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

515- Modify the determination of the default TTL to use for DDNS updates.
516 The user may still configure the ttl via ddns-ttl. The default for
517 both v4 and v6 is now 1/2 the (preferred) lease time with a limit. The
518 previous defaults (1/2 lease time without a limit for v4 and a default
519 value for v6) may be used by defining USE_OLD_DDNS_TTL in site.h

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

987! Previously the server code was relaxed to allow packets with zero
988 length client ids to be processed. Under some situations use of
989 zero length client ids can cause the server to go into an infinite
990 loop. As such ids are not valid according to RFC 2132 section 9.14
991 the server no longer accepts them. Client ids with a length of 1
992 are also invalid but the server still accepts them in order to
993 minimize disruption. The restriction will likely be tightened in
994 the future to disallow ids with a length of 1.

98bf1607 1190- Processing the DHCP to DNS server transactions in an asyncrhonous fashion.
09afca0d 1191 The DHCP server or client can now continue with its processing while
98bf1607 1192 awaiting replies from the DNS server.

1204- The notorious 'option <unknown> ... larger than buffer' log line,
1205 which is seen in some malformed DHCP client packets, was modified.
1206 It now logs the universe name, and does not log the length values
1207 (which are bogus corruption read from the packet anyway). It also
1208 carries a hopefully more useful explanation.

EH
1210- Suppress spurious warnings from configure about --datarootdir
1211

1212- A bug was fixed that caused the server not to answer some valid Solicit
1213 and Request packets, if the dynamic range covering any requested addresses
1214 had been deleted from configuration.
1215
cd51403d
SR
1216- Update the code to deal with GCC 4.3. This included two sets of changes.
1217 The first is to the configuration files to include the use of
571c38b0 1218 AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS. The second is to deal with return values that
cd51403d

1224 free not on its queue' error messages, thanks to a patch from Frode
1225 Nordahl.

1227- Fix a build error in dhcrelay, using older versions of gcc with
1228 dhcpv6 disabled.

1234 result in an erroneous error log message ('garbage in format string').
1235
f9453d21
DH
1236- A bug in DLPI packet transmission (Solaris, HP/UX) that caused the server
1237 to stop receiving packets is fixed. The same fix also means that the MAC
1238 address will no longer appear 'bogus' on DLPI-based systems.
1239
1240- A bug in select handling was discovered where the results of one select()
1241 call were discarded, causing the server to process the next select() call
1242 and use more system calls than required. This has been repaired - the
1243 sockets will be handled after the first return from select(), resulting in
1244 fewer system calls.
1245
a3dcc0b1
DH
1246- The update-conflict-detection feature would leave an FQDN updated without
1247 a DHCID (still currently implemented as a TXT RR). This would cause later
1248 expiration or release events to fail to remove the domain name. The feature
1249 now also inserts the client's up to date DHCID record, so records may safely
1250 be removed at expiration or release time. Thanks to a patch submitted by
1251 Christof Chen.

DH
1253- Memory leak in the load_balance_mine() function is fixed. This would
1254 leak ~20-30 octets per DHCPDISCOVER packet while failover was in use
1255 and in normal state.

1269- Compilation on Solaris with USE_SOCKETS defined in includes/site.h has
1270 been repaired. Other USE_ overrides should work better.

1276- Fixed a bug where an OMAPI socket disconnection message would not result
1277 in scheduling a failover reconnection, if the link had not negotiated a

1279 timeouts).

1284! A stack overflow vulnerability was fixed in dhclient that could allow
1285 remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands as root on the system,

DH
1303- Secondary servers in a failover pair will now perform ddns removals if
1304 they had performed ddns updates on a lease that is expiring, or was
1305 released through the primary. As part of the same fix, stale binding scopes
1306 will now be removed if a change in identity of a lease's active client is
1307 detected, rather than simply if a lease is noticed to have expired (which it
1308 may have expired without a failover server noticing in some situations).
1309

DH
1310- A patch supplied by David Cantrell at RedHat was applied that detects
1311 invalid calling parameters given to the ns_name_ntop() function.

1313 that causes the pointer to integer-wrap past zero.

1321- Both host and subnet6 configuration groups are now included whether a
1322 fixed-address6 (DHCPv6) is in use or not. Host scoped configuration takes
1323 precedence. This fixes two bugs, one where host scoped configuration
1324 would not be included from a non-fixed-address6 host record, and the equal
1325 and opposite bug where subnet6 scoped configuration would not be used when
571c38b0 1326 over-riding values were not present in a matching fixed-address6 host

0493fdca
SR
1332- Modified the handling of a connection to avoid releasing the omapi io
1333 object for the connection while it is still in use. One symptom from
1334 this error was a segfault when a failover secondary attempted to connect
1335 to the failover primary if their clocks were not synchronized.
1336
95bba8b6
SR
1337- Clean up to allow compilation with gcc 2.95.4 on FreeBSD. Remove an
1338 extra semi-colon from common/dns.c and moved setting a variable to NULL
1339 in server/dhcpv6.c to allow the compiler to decide that the variable
1340 was always properly set.

1369 in future releases.

1378 the client has been deprived of all A and AAAA records (not only the last
1379 one of either of those). This resolves a bug where dual stack clients
1380 would not be able to regain their names after either expiration event.

DH
1446- A bug in subnet6 parsing where options contained in subnet6 clauses would
1447 not be applied to clients addressed within that network was repaired.
1448
1449- When configuring a "subnet {}" or "subnet6 {}" without an explicit
1450 shared-network enclosing it, the DHCP software would synthesize a
1451 shared-network to contain the subnet. However, all configuration
1452 parameters within the subnet more intuitively belong "to any client
1453 on that interface", or rather the synthesized shared-network. So,
1454 when a shared-network is synthesized, it is used to contain the
1455 configuration present inside the subnet {} clause. This means that
1456 the configuration will be valid for all clients on that network, not
1457 just those addressed out of the stated subnet. If you intended the
1458 opposite, the workaround is to explicitly configure an empty
1459 shared-network.
1460
1461- A bug was fixed where Information-Request processing was not sourcing
1462 configured option values.

1465 support class statements.

01a54c17
EH
1517- The dhclient-script was updated to create a host route for the default
1518 gateway if the supplied subnet mask for an IPv4 address was a /32. This
1519 allows the client to work in 'captive' network environments, where the
1520 operator does not want clients to crosstalk directly.
1521
1522- MINUS tokens should be parseable again.
1523
1524- Multiple (up to "delayed-ack x;" maximum) DHCPv4 packets are now queued and
1525 released in bursts after single fsync() events when the upper limit is
1526 reached or if the receiving sockets go dry. The practical upshot is
1527 that fsync-coupled server performance is now multiplicitively increased.
1528 The default delayed ack limit is 28. Thanks entirely to a patch from
1529 Christof Chen.

DH
1565- The minimum site code value was set to 224 in 3.1.0 to track RFC3942. This
1566 broke a lot of legacy site local configurations. The new code in place will
1567 track site local space minimum option codes and logs a warning to encourage
1568 updates and exploration of site local code migration problems. Option
1569 codes less than 128 in site local spaces remain inaccessible.
1570
1571- A possible relay agent option bug was repaired where random server
1572 initialization state may have been used to signal the relay agent
1573 information options sub-option code for the 'END' of the option space.

1579- When server is configured with options that it overrides, a warning is
1580 issued when the configuration file is read, rather than at the time the
1581 option is overridden. This was important, because the warning was given
1582 every time the option was overridden, which could create a lot of
1583 unnecessary logging.

1610 use ip6.arpa. rather than default to in-addr.arpa and require user
1611 configuration.
76db44f9 1612
e32529a5
EH
1613- dhc6_lease_destroy() and dhc6_ia_destroy() now set lease and IA pointers
1614 to NULL after freeing, to prevent subsequent accesses to freed memory.
1615
76db44f9
SK
1616- The DHCPv6 server would not send the preference option unless the
1617 client requested it, via the ORO. This has been fixed, so the DHCPv6
1618 server will always send the preference value if it is configured.
e4a6be15 1619
6f76de58
SK
1620- When addresses were passed as hints to the server in an IA, they were
1621 incorrectly handled, sometimes being treated as an error. Now the
1622 server will treat these as hints and ignore them if it cannot supply
1623 a requested address.
1624
703873ab
DH
1625- If the client had multiple addresses, and one expired (was not renewed
1626 by the server), the client would continue to attempt to renew the same
1627 old address over and over. Now, the client will omit any expired
1628 addresses from future Confirm, Renew, or Rebind messages.
1629
1630- dhclient -6 will now select renew/rebind timers based upon the longest
1631 address expiration time rather than the shortest expiration time, in
1632 order to avoid cascading renewals in the event a server elects not to
1633 extend one of multiple IAADDR leases.
1634
b024480e
DH
1635- The server now limits clients that request multiple addresses to one
1636 address per IA by default, which can be adjusted through the
1637 "limit-addrs-per-ia" configuration option.
1638

1639- The DHCPv6 client now issues fresh transaction IDs on Renew and Rebind
1640 message exchanges, rather than using the most recent ID.

1655- ./configure now autodetects local database locations rather than trying
1656 to put dhcpd.leases and dhclient.leases in /usr/local/var/db, which no
1657 one ever has.

1659- Regression fix for bug where server advertised a IPv6 address in
1660 response to a SOLICIT but would not return the address in response
1661 to a REQUEST.

1663- A bug was fixed where the DHCPv6 server puts the NoAddrsAvail status
1664 code in the IA_NA was fixed. The status code now appears in the root
1665 level.

1671- Relative time may now be used as a qualifier for 'allow' and 'deny' access
1672 control lists. These directives may be used to assist in re-addressing
1673 address pools without having to constantly reconfigure the server. Please
1674 see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more information on allow/deny 'after time' syntax.
1675 Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen.

DH
1677- The server will now include multiple IA_NA's and multiple IAADDRs within
1678 them, if advertised by the client. It still only seeks to allocate one
1679 new address.

1683- Use different paths for PID and lease files when running in DHCPv4
1684 or DHCPv6 mode, so that servers for both protcols can be run
1685 simultaneously on a single interface.

1688 of service under unusual server configurations

1707- The DHCP server no longer requires a "ddns-update-style" statement,
1708 and now defaults to "none", which means DNS updates are disabled.

1721 "-Werror" (unused variable) rather than the actual test failure. Lead
1722 to inconsistent and unworkable auto-configurations.

1729- DHCPv6 server Confirm message processing has been enhanced - it no
1730 longer replies only to clients with host {} records, it now replies
1731 as directed in RFC3315 section 18.2.2 - that is, to all clients
1732 regardless of the existence of bindings.

DH
1736- DDNS updates state information are now stored in 'binding scopes' that
1737 follow the leases through their lifecycles. This enables DDNS teardowns
1738 on leases that are assigned and expired inbetween a server restart (the
1739 state is recovered from dhcpd.leases). Arbitrary user-specified binding
1740 scopes ('set var = "value";') are not yet supported.

1760- An internal database inconsistency bug was repaired where the server
1761 would segfault if a client attempted to renew a lease that had been
1762 loaded from persistent storage.
1763
45d545f0 1764- 'request' and 'also request' syntaxes have been added to accommodate

DH
1835- DHCPv4 I/O methods that failed to sense hardware address were corrected.

1837- DHCPv4 is now the default (as documented) rather than DHCPv6. The default
1838 was set to DHCPv6 to facilitate ease early development, and forgotten.
1839
1840- Corrected a segmentation violation in DHCPv4 socket processing.
1841
8ea19a71 1842- dhclient will now fork() into the background once it binds to an
45d545f0 1843 IPv6 address, or immediately if the -n flag is supplied.
8ea19a71

98bd7ca0
DH
1854 Changes since 3.1.0 (NEW FEATURES)
1855
1856- DHCPv6 Client and Server protocol support. Use '-6' to run the daemons
1857 as v6-only. Use '-4' to run the daemons as v4-only (default. There is
1858 no support currently for both.
1859
1860- Server support for multiple IA_NA options, containing at most one
1861 IAADDR option.
1862
1863- Client support for one IA_NA option, containing any number of IAADDR
1864 options.
1865
1866- Server support for the DHCPv6 Information-request message.
1867
1868- Inappropriate unicast DHCPv6 messages sent to the server are now
1869 discarded, and this has rearchitected the IO system slightly.
1870
1871- The DHCPv6 server DUID defaults to type 1, is persistently stored in
1872 the leases database, and can be over-ridden (either completely, or by
1873 specifying type 1 or type 2).
1874
1875- The server only uses Rapid-Commit if it has been configured with the
1876 Rapid-Commit option and the client requests it.
1877
1878- DDNS support. We now update AAAA records in the same place we would
1879 update A records, if we have an IPv6 address. We also generate IP6.ARPA
1880 style names for PTR records if we're dealing with an IPv6 address. Both
1881 A and AAAA updates are done using the same 'fqdn.' virtual option space
1882 (although the DHCPv4 FQDN and DHCPv6 FQDN options are formatted
1883 differently, they both use the same code here).
1884
1885- The Linux dhclient-script attempts to set and remove assigned addresses,
1886 and to configure /etc/resolv.conf from nameserver and domain name
1887 configurations. It can be extended to configure other parameters.
1888
1889- Initial DHCPv6 lease support.
1890
1891- The IO system now tracks all local IP addresses, so that the DHCP
1892 applications (particularly the dhcrelay) can discern between what frames
1893 were transmitted to it, and what frames are being carried through it which
1894 it should not intercept.
1895

DH
1896 Changes since 3.1.0 (Maintenance)
1897
1898- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for virgin leases always
1899 mapped to the primary. Virgin leases now have an interleaved preference
1900 between primary and secondary.
1901
1902- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for clients with no client
1903 identifier was sometimes mishashed to the peer. Load balancing during
1904 runtime and pool rebalancing were opposing.
1905
aa3e348e
DH
1906- An assertion in lease counting relating to reserved leases was repaired.
1907
e9c59645
DH
1908- The subnet-mask option inclusion now conforms with RFC2132 section 3.3;
1909 it will only appear prior to the routers option if it is present on the
1910 Parameter-Request-List. The subnet-mask option will also only be
1911 included by default (if it is not on the PRL) in response to DISCOVER
1912 or REQUEST messages.
1913
1914- The FQDN option is only supplied if the client supplied an FQDN option or
1915 if the FQDN option was explicitly requested on the PRL.

DH
1924 Changes since 3.1.0b2
1925
1926- Failover rebalance events no longer play ping pong with round errors
1927 (moving leases between free and back to backup where there are an
1928 odd number of leases).
1929
1930- The 'pool' log line has been split into two messages, one before the
1931 rebalance run, and one after.
1932
1933- Any queued BNDACKs are transmitted before transmitting new BNDUPDs.
1934 This enforces the correct sequence of events for the remote server
1935 processing these messages.

1ba87b37
EH
1942- A new server config option "fqdn-reply" specifies whether the server
1943 should send out option 81 (FQDN). Defaults to "on". If set to "off",
1944 the FQDN option is not sent, even if the client requested it. This is
1945 needed because some clients misbehave otherwise. Thanks to Christof Chen
1946 at Allianz.

1948- Allow trace output files (-tf option) to be overwritten, rather than
1949 crashing dhcpd if the file already exists

1954- Some uninitialized values were repaired in dhcpleasequery.c that
1955 caused the server to abort.
1956
4d2eaafb
DH
1957- A new server config option, 'do-reverse-updates', has been added
1958 which causes the server to abstain from performing updates on PTR
1959 records. Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen at Allianz.

1991 hash table was repaired.
1992
616d67cb
DH
1993- The servers now try harder to transmit pending binding updates when
1994 entering normal state.
1995
1996- UPDREQ/UPDREQALL handling was optimized - it no longer dequeues and
1997 requeues all pending updates. This should reduce the number of spurious
66c8f734
DH
1998 'xid mismatch' log messages.
1999
2000- An option definition referencing leak was fixed, which resulted in early
2001 termination of dhclient upon the renewal event.
616d67cb 2002
6708d944
DH
2003- Some default hash table sizes were tweaked, some upwards, some downwards.
2004 3.1.0a1's tables resulted in a reduction in default server memory use.
2005 The new selected values provide more of a zero sum (increasing the size
2006 of tables likely to be populated, decreasing the size of tables unlikely).
2007
45d545f0 2008- Lease structures appear in three separate hashes: by IP address, by UID,
6708d944
DH
2009 and by hardware address. One type of table was used for all three, and
2010 improvements to IP address hashing were applied to all three (so UID and
2011 hardware addresses were treated like 4-byte integers). There are now two
2012 types of tables, and the uid/hw hashes use functions more appropriate
2013 to their needs.
2014
2015- The max-lease-misbalance percentage no longer causes scheduled rebalance
2016 runs to be skipped: it still governs the schedule, but every scheduled
2017 run will attempt balance.
2018
a7ee93fe
DH
2019- A segfault bug in recursive encapsulation support has been corrected.

DH
2021 Changes since 3.0 (New Features)
2022
2023- A workaround for certain STSN servers that send a mangled domain-name
2024 option was introduced for dhclient. The client will now accept corrupted
2025 server responses, if they contain a valid DHCP_MESSAGE_TYPE (OFFER, ACK,
2026 or NAK). The server will continue to not accept corrupt client packets.
2027

a55ccdd0 2029 was introduced.

2049- The dhclient 'reject ...;' statement, which rejects leases given by named
2050 server-identifiers, now permits address ranges to be specified in CIDR

DH
2053- The subnet-mask option is now supplied by default, but at lowest
2054 priority. This helps a small minority of clients that provide parameter
2055 request lists, but do not list the subnet-mask option because they were
2056 designed to interoperate with a server that behaves in this manner.
2057
2058- The FQDN option is similarly supplied even if it does not appear on the
2059 parameter request list, but not to the exclusion of options that do
2060 appear at the parameter request list. Up until now it had ultimate
2061 priority over the client's parameter request list.
2062
f7fdb216 2063- Varying option space code and length bit widths (8/16/32) are now
51202707 2064 supported. This is a milestone in achieving RFC 3925 "VIVSO" and

DH
2067- A new common (server or client) option, 'db-time-format local;', has
2068 been added which prints the local time in /var/db/dhcpd.leases rather
2069 than UTC. Thanks to a patch from Ken Lalonde.

DH
2074- Failover pairs now implement 'MAC Affinity' on leases moving from the
2075 active to free states. Leases that belonged to the failover secondary
2076 are moved to BACKUP state rather than FREE upon exiting EXPIRED state.
2077 If lease rebalancing must move leases, it tries first to move leases
2078 that belong to the peer in need.
2079
2080- The server no longer sends POOLREQ messages unless the pool is severely
2081 misbalanced in the peer's favor (see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more details).
2082
2083- Pool rebalance events no longer happen upon successfully allocating a
2084 lease. Instead, they happen on a schedule. See 'man dhcpd.conf' for the
2085 min-balance and max-balance statements for more information.

DH
2090- A new DDNS related server option, update-conflict-detection, has been
2091 added. If this option is enabled, dhcpd will perform normal DHCID
2092 conflict resolution (the default). If this option is disabled, it will
2093 instead trust the assigned name implicitly (removing any other bindings
2094 on that name). This option has not been made available in dhclient.

DH
2096- In those cases where the DHCP software manufactures an IP header (to
2097 transmit via bpf, lpf, etc), the IP TTL the software selects has been
2098 increased from 16 to 128. This is intended to match Microsoft Windows
2099 DHCP Client behaviour, to increase compatibility.
2100
a396d25f
DH
2101- 'ignore client-updates;' now has behaviour that is different from
2102 'deny client-updates;'. The client's request is not truly ignored,
2103 rather it is encouraged. Should this value be configured, the server
2104 updates DNS as though client-updates were set to 'deny'. That is, it
2105 enters into DNS whatever it is configured to do already, provided it is
2106 configured to. Then it sends a response to the client that lets the
2107 client believe it is performing client updates (which it will), probably
2108 for a different name. In essence, this lets the client do as it will,
2109 ignoring this aspect of their request.

2124- A new common configuration executable statement, execute(), has been
2125 added. This permits dhcpd or dhclient to execute a named external

2127 language. Thanks to a patch written by Mattias Ronnblom, gotten to us
2128 via Robin Breathe.

2130- A new dhcp server option 'adaptive-lease-time-threshold' has been added

2162- In the case where an "L2" DHCP Relay Agent (one that does not set giaddr)
2163 was directly attached to the same broadcast domain as the DHCP server,
2164 the RFC3046 relay agent information option was not being returned to the
2165 relay in the server's replies. This was fixed; the dhcp server no longer
2166 requires the giaddr to reply with relay agent information. Note that
2167 this also improves compatibility with L2 devices that "intercept" DHCP
2168 packets and expect relay agent information even in unicast (renewal)

2189- Some bugs were fixed in the 'emergency relay agent options hologram'
2190 which is used to retain relay agent option contents from when the
2191 client was in INIT or REBIND states. This should solve problems where
2192 relay agent options were not echoed from the server, even when giaddr
2193 was set.

DH
2198- The server's "by client-id" and "by hardware address" hash table lists
2199 are now sorted according to the preference to re-allocate that lease to
2200 returning clients. This should eliminate pool starvation problems
2201 arising when "INIT" clients were given new leases rather than presently
2202 active ones.

SK
2207 dhclient-script with the 'EXPIRE' state should it receive a NAK in
2208 response to a REQUEST. The client now iterates the PREINIT state
2209 after the EXPIRE state, so that interfaces that might be configured
2210 'down' can be brought back 'up' and initialized.

2218 scopes are actually global has been added.
2219
2220- The default minimum lease time (if min-lease-time was not specified)
2221 was raised from 0 to 300. 0 is not thought to be sensible, and is
2222 known to be damaging.
2223
2224- Added additional fatal error sanity checks surrounding lease binding
2225 state count calculations (free/active counts used for failover pool
2226 balancing).
2227
dcc557db
DH
2228- Some time value size fixes in 3.0.4 brought on from FreeBSD /usr/ports were
2229 misapplied to server values rather than client values. The server no longer
2230 advertises 8-byte lease-time options when on 64-bit platforms.

DH
2232- A bug where leases not in ACTIVE state would get billed to billed classes

2234 to clients are no longer billed (but billing is checked before offering).

2236- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated in regard to the ddns-domainname
2237 configuration option - the default configuration and results should be
2238 more clear now.
2239
6cbc6629
DH
2240- If the dhclient were to receive a DHCPNAK while it was in the RENEW
2241 state (and consequently, had an active, 'bound' address and related
2242 configuration options), it would fail to 'tear down' this information
2243 before proceeding into INIT state. dhclient now iterates the dhclient-
2244 script with the 'EXPIRE' action to cause these teardowns prior to entering
1d3bfb17 2245 INIT state. Thanks to a patch from Chris Zimmerman.

DH
2254- The log message emitted when the 'leased-address' value was not available

DH
2261- Attempting to write a new lease file to replace a corrupt (due to
2262 encountering non-retryable errors during writing) lease file should
2263 no longer result in an infinite recursion.
2264
2178df03
DH
2265- Host declaration hardware addresses and client identifiers may only be
2266 configured once. dhcpd will now fail to load config files that specify
2267 multiple identifiers (previous versions would silently over-ride the
2268 value with the later configured value).
2269
d5341d9b
SK
2270- Several option codes that have been allocated since our last release
2271 have been named and documented.
2272
2273- Option names of the form "unknown-123" have been removed from the in-
2274 memory hash tables. In order to support options of these names that
2275 may appear in dhclient.leases or similar in previous versions, the
2276 parser will now find the new option code definition, or mock up a
2277 generic option code definition. This should result in a smooth
2278 transition from one name to the other, as the new name is used to
2279 write new output.

2292
45d545f0 2293- Null-termination sensing for certain clients that unfortunately require
88cd8aca
DH
2294 it in DHCPINFORM processing was repaired.
2295
2296- The host-name option and a few others were moved from "X" format to "t"
2297 format to be compatible with new NULL handling functions.
2298
2299- DHCPINFORM processing is a little more careful about return addressing
2300 its responses, or if responding via a relay. The INFORM related
2301 messages also log the 'effective client ip address' rather than the
2302 client's supplied ciaddr (since some clients produce null ciaddrs).
2303
2304- The server was inappropriately sending leases to the RESET state in the
2305 event that multiple active leases were found to match a singly-identified
2306 client. This was changed to RELEASED (by accepting a different, ACTIVE
2307 binding, the client is implicitly releasing its lease). This repairs a
2308 bug wherein secondary servers in failover pairs detecting this condition
2309 move leases to RESET, and primaries refuse to accept that state
2310 transition (properly).
2311
2312- The memset-after-dmalloc() changes made in 3.0.4b1 have been backed out.
2313
2314 Changes since 3.0.4b1
2315
2316- Command line parsing in omshell was repaired - it no longer closes
2317 STDIN after reading one line.
2318
2319- The resolver library no longer closes the /etc/resolv.conf file
2320 descriptor it opened twice.
2321
2322- Changes to trailing NULL removal in 't' option-atoms has been rethought,
2323 it now includes 'd' (domain name) types, and tries hard not to rewind an
2324 option beyond the start of the text field it is un-terminating.
2325
2326 Changes since 3.0.3
2327
2328- A DDNS update handling function was misusing the DNS error codes, rather
2329 than the internal generic result enumeration. The result is a confusing
2330 syslog line, logging the wrong condition.
2331
2332- The DHCP Server was not checking pool balance in the case where it brought
2333 a non-ACTIVE lease out of storage for a client that was returning to use
2334 a lease it once had long ago, and had since expired.
2335
2336- Failover peers no longer bother to look for free leases to allocate when
2337 they already found the client's ACTIVE lease. DISCOVERs are load balanced
98bd7ca0 2338 whether freely-allocated or not, unless the server doubts the peer has
88cd8aca
DH
2339 leases to allocate.
2340
2341- Fixed a bug in dhcrelay agent addition code that suppressed trailing
45d545f0 2342 PAD options - it was suppressing only one trailing PAD option, rather
88cd8aca
DH
2343 than the entire block of them.
2344
3a16098f
DH
2345! Fixed some unlikely overlapping-region memcpy() bugs in dhcrelay agent
2346 option addition and stripping code. Added a few sanity checks. Although
2347 highly improbable, due to requiring the reception of a DHCP datagram well
2348 in excess of all known to be used physical MTU limitations, it is possible
2349 this may have been used in a stack overflow security vulnerability. Thanks
2350 to a patch from infamous42md.
2351
2352! Added some sanity checks to OMAPI connection/authentication code.
2353 Although highly improbable, due to having to deliver in excess of 2^32
2354 bytes of data via the OMAPI channel, not to mention requiring dhcpd to
2355 be able to malloc() a memory region 2^32 bytes in size, it was possible
2356 this might have resulted in a heap overflow security vulnerability.
2357 Thanks to a patch from infamous42md.
88cd8aca
DH
2358
2359- dmalloc() memset()'s the non-debug (data) portion of the allocated
2360 memory to zero. Code that memset()'s the result returned by dmalloc() to
2361 zero is redundant. These redundancies were removed.
2362
2363- Some type declaration corrections to u_int16_t were made in common/tr.c
4b97eaff 2364 (Token Ring support) thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
88cd8aca
DH
2365
2366- A failover bug that was allowing leases that EXPIRED or were RELEASED
2367 where tsfp and tstp are identical timestamps to languish in these
2368 transitional states has been repaired. As a side effect, lease
2369 databases should be kept more consistent overall, not just for these
2370 transitional states.
2371
2372- If the lease db is deleted out from under the daemon, and it moves to rewrite
2373 the db, it will go ahead with the operation and move the new db into place
2374 once it detects the old db does not exist.
2375
2376- dhclient now ignores IRDA, SIT, and IEEE1394 network interfaces, as it
2377 is either nonsensical or (in the case of IEEE1394) is not known to support
2378 these interfaces. Thanks to Marius Gedminas and Andrew Pollock of Debian.
2379
2380- Some previously undocumented reasons for dhclient-script invoking has
45d545f0 2381 been documented in the dhclient-script.8 manpage.

DH
2382
2383- Failover potential expiry calculations (TSTP) have been corrected. Results
2384 should be substantially more consistent, and proper given the constraints.
2385
2386- Adjusted lease state validation checks in potential-conflict, to
2387 account for possible clock skew similarly to normal state, and several
2388 previously illegal transitions were made legal (ex: active->released).
2389
2390- An impossible sanity check was removed from omapi/buffer.c, thanks to a
2391 patch from 'infamous42md'.
2392
2393- An OMAPI host/network byte order problem in lease time values has been
2394 repaired.
2395
2396- Several minor bugs, largely relating to treating 8-byte time values as
2397 4-byte entities, have been repaired after careful review of the FreeBSD
2398 ports collection's patch set. Thanks to the nameless entities who have
2399 contributed to the FreeBSD ports.
2400
2401- When writing a trace file, the file is now created with permissions 0600,
2402 to help administrators avoid accidentally publicising sensitive config
2403 data.
2404
2405- The calculation of the maximum size of DHCP packets no longer includes
2406 Ethernet framing overhead. The result is that the 'Maximum Message
2407 Size' option advertised by clients, or the default value 576, is no
2408 longer reduced by 14 bytes, and instead directly reflects the IP level
2409 MTU (and the default, minimum allowed IP MTU of 576).
2410
2411- The special status of RELEASED/EXPIRED/RESET leases when a server
2412 is operating in partner-down was fixed. It no longer requires a
2413 lease be twice the MCLT beyond STOS to 'reallocate', and the expiry
2414 event to turn these into FREE leases without peer acknowledgement
2415 (after STOS+MCLT) has been repaired.
2416
2417- Compilation on older Solaris systems (lacking /usr/include/sys/int_types.h)
2418 has been repaired.
2419
2420- "append"ing a string onto the end of a "t" type option (such as the
2421 domain-name field) that had been improperly NULL-terminated by the
2422 DHCP server will no longer result in a truncated string containing
2423 only the option from the server, and not the expected appended value.
4b97eaff 2424 Thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.

98bd7ca0 2427 be treated consistently, regardless of whether TRACING is defined or not.
88cd8aca 2428
45d545f0 2429- The Linux build environment has had some minor improvements - better
88cd8aca
DH
2430 sensing of 64-bit pointer sizes (only used for establishing an icmp_id),
2431 and corrections to #if operators regarding LINUX_MAJOR should it ever
2432 move to 3.[01].x.
2433
2434- The server now tries harder to survive the condition where it is unable
2435 to open a new lease file to rewrite the lease state database.

2464- A bug was fixed where a server might load balance a DHCP REQUEST to its
45d545f0 2465 peer after already choosing not to load balance the preceding DISCOVER.
98311e4b
DH
2466 The peer cannot allocate the originating server's lease.
2467
2468- In the case where a secondary server lost its stable storage while the
2469 primary was still in communications-interrupted, and came back online,
2470 the lease databases would not be fully transferred to the secondary.
2471 This was due to the secondary errantly sending an extra UPDREQ message
2472 when the primary made its state transition to PARTNER-DOWN known.
2473
2474- The package will now compile cleanly in gcc 3.3 and 3.4. As a side effect,
2475 lease structures will be 9 bytes smaller on all platforms. Thanks to
4b97eaff 2476 Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
2477
2478- Interface discovery code in DISCOVER_UNCONFIGURED mode is now
2479 properly restricted to only detecting broadcast interfaces. Thanks
4b97eaff 2480 to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
2481
2482- decode_udp_ip_header was changed so that the IP address was copied out
2483 to a variable, rather than referenced by a pointer. This enforces 4-byte
2484 alignment of the 32-bit IP address value. Thanks to a patch from Dr.
2485 Peter Poeml.
2486
2487- An incorrect log message was corrected thanks to a patch from
2488 Dr. Peter Poeml.
2489
2490- A bug in DDNS was repaired, where if the server's first DDNS action was
2491 a DDNS removal rather than a DDNS update, the resolver library's
2492 retransmit timer and retry timer was set to the default, implying a
2493 15 second timeout interval. Which is a little excessive in a synchronous,
2494 single-threaded system. In all cases, ISC DHCP should now hold fast to
2495 a 1-second timeout, trying only once.
2496
2497- The siaddr field was being improperly set to the server-identifier when
2498 responding to DHCP messages. RFC2131 clarified the siaddr field as
2499 meaning the 'next server in the bootstrap process', eg a tftp server.
2500 The siaddr field is now left zeroed unless next-server is configured.
2501
2502- mockup_lease() could have returned in an error condition (or in the
2503 condition where no fixed-address was found matching the shared
2504 network) with stale references to a host record. This is probably not
2505 a memory leak since host records generally never die anyway.
2506
2507- A bug was repaired where failover servers would let stale client identifiers
2508 persist on leases that were reallocated to new clients not sending an id.
2509
2510- Binding scopes ("set var = value;") are now removed from leases allocated
2511 by failover peers if the lease had expired. This should help reduce the
2512 number of stale binding scopes on leases.
2513
2514- A small memory leak was closed involving client identifiers larger than
2515 7 bytes, and failover.
2516
2517- Configuring a subnet in dhcpd.conf with a subnet mask of 32 bits might
2518 cause an internal function to overflow heap. Thanks to Jason Vas Dias
4b97eaff 2519 at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
2520
2521- Some inconsistencies in treating numbers that the lexer parsed as 'NUMBER'
2522 or 'NUMBER_OR_NAME' was repaired. Hexadecimal parsing is affected, and
2523 should work better.
2524
2525- In several cases, parse warnings were being issued before the lexical
2526 token had been advanced to the token whose value was causing an error...
2527 causing parse warnings to claim the problem is on the wrong token.
2528
2529- Host declarations matching on client identifier for dynamic leases will
2530 no longer match fixed-address host declarations (this is now identical
2531 to behaviour for host records matching on hardware address).
2532
2533 Changes since 3.0.2rc3
2534
2535- A previously undocumented configuration directive, 'local-address',
2536 was documented in the dhcpd.conf manpage.
2537
2538 Changes since 3.0.2rc2
2539
45d545f0 2540- Two variables introduced in 3.0.2b1 were used without being initialized
98311e4b
DH
2541 in the case where neither the FILE nor SNAME fields were available for
2542 overloading. This was repaired.
2543
2544- A heretofore believed to be impossible corner case of the option
2545 overloading implementation turned out to be possible ("Unable to sort
2546 overloaded options after 10 tries."). The implementation was reworked
2547 to consider the case of an option so large it would require more than
2548 three chunks to fit.
2549
2550- Many other instances of variables being used without being initialized
2551 were repaired.
2552
2553- An uninitialized variable in omapi_io_destroy() led to the discovery
2554 that this function may result in orphaned pointers (and hence, a memory
2555 leak).
2556
2557 Changes since 3.0.2rc1
2558
2559- allocate_lease() was rewritten to repair a bug in which the server would
2560 try to allocate an ABANDONED lease when FREE leases were available.
2561
2562 Changes since 3.0.2b1
2563
2564- Some dhcp-eval.5 manpage formatting was repaired.
2565
2566 Changes since 3.0.1
2567
2568- A bug was fixed in the server's 'option overloading' implementation,
2569 where options loaded into the 'file' and 'sname' packet fields were
2570 not aligned precisely as rfc2131 dictates.
2571
2572- The FreeBSD client script was changed to support the case where a domain
2573 name was not provided by the server.
2574
2575- A memory leak in 'omshell' per each command line parsed was
2576 repaired, thanks to a patch from Jarkko Torppa.
2577
2578- Log functions writing to stderr were adjusted to use the STDERR_FILENO
2579 system definition rather than '2'. This is a no-op for 90% of platforms.
2580
2581- One call to trace_write_packet_iov() counted the number of io vectors
2582 incorrectly, causing inconsistent tracefiles. This was fixed.
2583
2584- Some expression parse failure memory leaks were closed.
2585
2586- A host byte order problem in tracefiles was repaired.
2587
2588- Pools configured in DHCPD for failover possessing permission lists that
2589 previously were assumed to not include dyanmic bootp clients are now
2590 a little more pessimistic. The result is, dhcpd will nag you about just
2591 about most pools that possess a 'allow' statement with no 'deny' that
2592 would definitely match a dynamic bootp client.
2593
2594- The 'ddns-update-style' configuration warning bit now insists that
2595 the configuration be globally scoped.
2596
2597- Two memory leaks in dhclient were closed thanks to a patch from Felix
2598 Farkas.
2599
2600- Some minor but excellently pedantic documentation errors were fixed
2601 thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
2602
2603- Bugs in operator precedence in executable statements have been repaired
2604 once again. More legal syntaxes should be parsed legally.
2605
2606- Failing to initialize a tracefile for any reason if a tracefile was
2607 specified is now a fatal error. Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
2608
2609- Corrected a bug in which the number of leases transferred as calculated
2610 by the failover primary and sent to peers in POOLRESP responses may be
2611 incorrect. This value is not believed to be used by other failover
2612 implementations, excepting perhaps as logged information.
2613
2614- Corrected a bug in which 'dhcp_failover_send_poolresp()' was in fact
2615 sending POOLREQ messages instead of POOLRESP mesasges. This message
2616 was essentially ignored since failover secondaries effectively do not
2617 respond to POOLREQ messages.
2618
2619- Type definitions for various bitwidths of integers in the sunos5-5
2620 build of ISC DHCP have been fixed. It should compile and run more
2621 easily when built in 64-bit for this platform.
2622
2623- "allow known-clients;" is now a legal syntax, to avoid confusion.
2624
2625- If one dhcp server chooses to 'load balance' a request to its failover
2626 peer, it first checks to see if it believes said peer has a free
2627 lease to allocate before ignoring the DISCOVER.
2628
2629- log() was logging a work buffer, rather than the value returned by
2630 executing the statements configured by the user. In some cases,
2631 the work buffer and the intended results were the same. In some other
2632 cases, they were not. This was fixed thanks to a patch from Gunnar
2633 Fjone and directconnect.no.
2634
2635- Compiler warnings for some string type conversions was fixed, thanks
2636 to Andreas Gustafsson.
2637
2638- The netbsd build environments were simplified to one, in which
2639 -Wconversion is not used, thanks to Andreas Gustafsson.
2640
2641- How randomness in the backoff-cutoff dhclient configuration variable
2642 is implemented was better documented in the manpage, and the behaviour
2643 of dhclient in REQUEST timeout handling was changed to match that of
2644 DISCOVER timeout handling.
2645
2646- Omapi was hardened against clients that pass in null values, thanks
2647 to a patch from Mark Jason Dominus.
2648
2649- A bug was fixed in dhclient that kept it from doing client-side
2650 ddns updates. Thanks to a patch from Andreas Gustafsson, which
2651 underwent some modification after review by Jason Vas Dias.
2652
2653- Failover implementations disconnected due to the network between
2654 them (rather than one of the two shutting down) will now try to
2655 re-establish the failover connection every 5 seconds, rather than
2656 to simply try once and give up until one of them is restarted.
2657 Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from Infoblox, and field testing
2658 by Greger V. Teigre which led to an enhancement to it.
2659
2660- A problem that kept DHCP Failover secondaries from tearing down
2661 ddns records was repaired. Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from
2662 Infoblox.
2663
2664- 64bit pointer sizes are detected properly on FreeBSD now.
2665
2666- A bug was repaired where the DHCP server would leave stale references
2667 to host records on leases it once thought about offering to certain
2668 clients. The result would be to apply host and 'known' scopes to the
2669 wrong clients (possibly denying booting). NOTE: The 'mis-host' patch
2670 that was being circulated as a workaround is not the way this bug was
2671 fixed. If you were a victim of this bug in 3.0.1, you are cautioned
2672 to proceed carefully and see if it fixes your problem.
2673
2674- A bug was repaired in the server's DHCPINFORM handling, where it
2675 tried to divine the client's address from the source packet and
2676 would get it wrong. Thanks to Anshuman Singh Rawat.
2677
2678- A log message was introduced to help illuminate the case where the
2679 server was unable to find a lease to assign to any BOOTP client.
2680 Thanks to Daniel Baker.
2681
2682- A minor dhcpd.conf.5 manpage error was fixed.
2683
2684 Changes since 3.0.1rc14
2685
2686- The global variable 'cur_time' was centralized and is now uniformly of a
2687 type #defined in system-dependent headers. It had previously been defined
2688 in one of many places as a 32-bit value, and this causes mayhem on 64-bit
2689 big endian systems. It probably wasn't too healthy on little endian
2690 systems either.
2691
2692- A printf format string error introduced in rc14 was repaired.
2693
2694- AIX system-dependent header file was altered to only define NO_SNPRINTF
2695 if the condition used to #ifdef in vsnprintf in AIX' header files
2696 is false.
2697
2698- The Alpha/OSF system-dependent header file was altered to define
2699 NO_SNPRINTF on OS revisions older than 4.0G.
2700
2701- omapip/test.c had string.h added to its includes.
2702
2703 Changes since 3.0.1rc13
2704
2705! CAN-2004-0460 - CERT VU#317350: Five stack overflow exploits were closed
2706 in logging messages with excessively long hostnames provided by the
2707 clients. It is highly probable that these could have been used by
2708 attackers to gain arbitrary root access on systems using ISC DHCP 3.0.1
2709 release candidates 12 or 13. Special thanks to Gregory Duchemin for
2710 both finding and solving the problem.
2711
2712! CAN-2004-0461 - CERT VU#654390: Once the above was closed, an opening
45d545f0 2713 in log_*() functions was evidenced, on some specific platforms where
98311e4b
DH
2714 vsnprintf() was not believed to be available and calls were wrapped to
2715 sprintf() instead. Again, credit goes to Gregory Duchemin for finding
2716 the problem. Calls to snprintf() are now linked to a distribution-local
2717 snprintf implementation, only in those cases where the architecture is
2718 not known to provide one (see includes/cf/[arch].h). If you experience
2719 linking problems with snprintf/vsnprintf or 'isc_print_' functions, this
2720 is where to look. This vulnerability did not exist in any previously
2721 published version of ISC DHCP.
2722
2723- Compilation on hpux 11.11 was repaired.
2724
2725- 'The cross-compile bug fix' was backed out.
2726
2727 Changes since 3.0.1rc12
2728
2729- Fixed a bug in omapi lease lookup function, to form the hardware
2730 address for the hash lookup correctly, thanks to a patch from
2731 Richard Hirst.
2732
2733- Fixed a bug where dhcrelay was sending relayed responses back to the
2734 broadcast address, but with the source's unicast mac address. Should
2735 now conform to rfc2131 section 4.1.
2736
2737- Cross-compile bug fix; use $(AR) instead of ar. Thanks to Morten Brorup.
2738
2739- Fixed a crash bug in dhclient where dhcpd servers that do not provide
2740 renewal times results in an FPE. As a side effect, dhclient can now
2741 properly handle 0xFFFFFFFF (-1) expiry times supplied by servers. Thanks
2742 to a patch from Burt Silverman.
2743
2744- The 'ping timeout' debugs from rc12 were removed to -DDEBUG only,
45d545f0 2745 and reformatted to correct a compilation error on Solaris platforms.
98311e4b
DH
2746
2747- A patch was applied which fixes a case where leases read from the
2748 leases database do not properly over-ride previously read leases.
2749
2750- dhcpctl.3 manpage was tweaked.
2751
2752 Changes since 3.0.1rc11
2753
2754- A patch from Steve Campbell was applied with minor modifications to
2755 permit reverse dns PTR record updates with values containing spaces.
2756
2757- A patch from Florian Lohoff was applied with some modifications to
2758 dhcrelay. It now discards packets whose hop count exceeds 10 by default,
2759 and a command-line option (-c) can be used to set this threshold.
2760
2761- A failover bug relating to identifying peers by name length instead of
2762 by name was fixed.
2763
45d545f0 2764- Declaring failover configs within shared-network statements should no
98311e4b
DH
2765 longer result in error.
2766
2767- The -nw command line option to dhclient now works.
2768
2769- Thanks to a patch from Michael Richardson:
2770 - Some problems with long option processing have been fixed.
2771 - Some fixes to minires so that updates of KEY records will work.
2772
2773- contrib/ms2isc was updated by Shu-Min Chang of the Intel Corporation.
2774 see contrib/ms2isc/readme.txt for revision notes.
2775
2776- Dhclient no longer uses shell commands to kill another instance of
2777 itself, it sends the signal directly. Thanks to a patch from Martin
2778 Blapp.
2779
2780- The FreeBSD dhclient-script was changed so that a failure to write to
2781 /etc/resolv.conf does not prematurely end the script. This keeps dhclient
2782 from looping infinitely when this is the case. Thanks to a patch from
2783 Martin Blapp.
2784
2785- A patch from Bill Stephens was applied which resolves a problem with lease
2786 expiry times in failover configurations.
2787
2788- A memory leak in configuration parsing was closed thanks to a patch from
2789 Steve G.
2790
2791- The function which discovers interfaces will now skip non-broadcast or
2792 point-to-point interfaces, thanks to a patch from David Brownlee.
2793
2794- Options not yet known by the dhcpd or dhclient have had their names
2795 changed such that they do not contain # symbols, in case they should ever
2796 appear in a lease file. An option that might have been named "#144" is
2797 now "unknown-144".
2798
2799- Another patch from Bill Stephens which allows the ping-check timeout to
2800 be configured as 'ping-timeout'. Defaults to 1.
2801
2802 Changes since 3.0.1rc10
2803
2804- Potential buffer overflows in minires repaired.
2805
2806- A change to the linux client script to use /bin/bash, since /bin/sh may
2807 not be bash.
2808
2809- Some missing va_end cleanups thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
2810
2811- A correction of boolean parsing syntax validation - some illegal syntaxes
2812 that worked before are now detected and produce errs, some legal syntaxes
2813 that errored before will now work properly.
2814
2815- Some search-and-replace errors that caused some options to change their
2816 names was repaired.
2817
2818- Shu-min Chang of the Intel corporation has contributed a perl script and
2819 module that converts the MS NT4 DHCP configuration to a ISC DHCP3
2820 configuration file.
2821
2822- Applied the remainder of the dhcpctl memory leak patch provided by Bill
2823 Squier at ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
2824
2825- Missing non-optional failover peer configurations will now result in a soft
2826 error rather than a null dereference.
2827
2828 Changes since 3.0.1rc9
2829
2830- A format string was corrected to fix compiler warnings.
2831
2832- A number of spelling corrections were made in the man pages.
2833
2834- The dhclient.conf.5 man page was changed to refer to do-forward-updates
2835 rather than a configuration option that doesn't exist.
2836
2837- A FreeBSD-specific bug in the interface removal handling was fixed.
2838
2839- A Linux-specific Token Ring detection problem was fixed.
2840
2841- Hashes removed from as-yet-unknown agent options, having those options
2842 appear in reality before we know about them will no longer produce
2843 self-corrupting lease databases.
2844
2845- dhclient will use the proper port numbers now when using the -g option.
2846
2847- A order-of-operations bug with 2 match clauses in 1 class statement is
2848 fixed thanks to a patch from Andrew Matheson.
2849
2850- Compilation problems on Solaris were fixed.
2851
2852- Compilation problems when built with DEBUG or DEBUG_PACKET were repaired.
2853
2854- A fix to the dhcp ack process which makes certain group options will be
2855 included in the first DHCPOFFER message was made thanks to a patch from
2856 Ling Gou.
2857
2858- A few memory leaks were repaired thanks to patches from Bill Squier at
2859 ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
2860
2861- A fix for shared-networks that sometimes give clients options for the
2862 wrong subnets (in particular, 'option routers') was applied, thanks to
2863 Ted Lemon for the patch.
2864
2865- Omshell's handling of dotted octets as values was changed such that dots
2866 one after the other produce zero values in the integer string.
2867
2868 Changes since 3.0.1rc8
2869
2870- Fix a format string vulnerability in the server that could lead to a
2871 remote root compromise (discovered by NGSEC Research Team, www.ngsec.com).
2872
2873- Add additional support for NetBSD/sparc64.
2874
2875- Fix a bug in the command-line parsing of the client. Also, resolve
2876 a memory leak.
2877
2878- Add better support for shells other than bash in the Linux client
2879 script.
2880
2881- Various build fixes for modern versions of FreeBSD and Linux.
2882
2883- Fix a bad bounds check when printing binding state names.
2884
2885- Clarify documentation about fixed-address and multiple addresses.
2886
2887- Fix a typo in the authoritative error message.
2888
2889- Make a log entry when we can't write a billing class.
2890
2891- Use conversion targets that are the right size on all architectures.
2892
2893- Increment the hop count when relaying.
2894
2895- Log a message when lease state is changed through OMAPI.
2896
2897- Don't rerun the shared_network when evaluating the pool.
2898
2899- Fix a reversed test in the parser.
2900
2901- Change the type of rbuf_max.
2902
2903- Make FTS_LAST a manifest constant to quiet warnings.
2904
2905 Changes since 3.0.1rc7
2906
2907- Fix two compiler warnings that are generated when compiling on Solaris
2908 with gcc. These stop the build, even though they weren't actually
2909 errors, because we prefer that our builds generate no warnings.
2910
2911 Changes since 3.0.1rc6
2912
2913- Don't allow a lease that's in the EXPIRED, RELEASED or RESET state
2914 to be renewed.
2915
2916- Implement lease stealing for cases where the primary has fewer leases
2917 than the secondary, as called for by the standard.
2918
2919- Add a fudge factor to the lease expiry acceptance code, (suggested
2920 by Kevin Miller of CMU).
2921
2922- Fix a bug in permit_list_match that made it much too willing to say
2923 that two permit lists matched.
2924
2925- Unless DEBUG_DNS_UPDATES is defined, print more user-friendly (and
2926 also more compact) messages about DNS updates.
2927
2928- Fix a bug in generating wire-format domain names for the FQDN option.
2929
2930- Fix a bug where the FQDN option would not be returned if the client
2931 requested it, contrary to the standard.
2932
2933- On Darwin, use the FreeBSD DHCP client script.
2934
2935- On NetBSD/sparc, don't check for casting warnings.
2936
2937- Add a flag in the DHCP client to disable updating the client's A
2938 record when sending an FQDN option indicating that the client is
2939 going to update its A record.
2940
2941- In the client, don't attempt a DNS update until one second after
2942 configuring the new IP address, and if the update times out, keep
2943 trying until a response, positive or negative, is received from the
2944 DNS server.
2945
2946- Fix an uninitialized memory bug in the DHCP client.
2947
2948- Apply some FreeBSD-specific bug fixes suggested by Murray Stokely.
2949
2950- Fix a bug in ns_parserr(), where it was returning the wrong sort
2951 of result code in some cases (suggested by Ben Harris of the
2952 NetBSD project).
2953
2954- Fix a bug in is_identifier(), where it was checking against EOF
2955 instead of the END_OF_FILE token (also suggested by Ben Harris).
2956
2957- Fix a bug where if an option universe contained no options, the
2958 DHCP server could dump core (Walter Steiner).
2959
2960- Fix a bug in the handling of encapsulated options.
2961
2962- Fix a bug that prevented NWIP suboptions from being processed.
2963
2964- Delete the FTS_BOOTP and FTS_RESERVED states and implement them
2965 as modifier flags to the FTS_ACTIVE state, as called for in the
2966 failover protocol standard.
2967
2968- Fix bugs in the pool merging code that resulted in references and
2969 dereferences of null pointers. This bug had no impact unless the
2970 POINTER_DEBUG flag was defined.
2971
2972- In the server, added a do-forward-updates flag that can be used to
2973 disable forward updates in all cases, so that sites that want the
2974 clients to take sole responsibility for updating their A record can
2975 do so.
2976
2977- Make it possible to disable optimization of PTR record updates.
2978
2979 Changes since 3.0.1rc5
2980
2981- Include some new documentation and changes provided by Karl Auer.
2982
2983- Add a workaround for some Lexmark printers that send a double-NUL-
2984 terminated host-name option, which would break DNS updates.
2985
2986- Fix an off-by-one error in the MAC-address checking code for
2987 DHCPRELEASE that was added in 3.0.1rc5.
2988
2989- Fix a bug where client-specific information was not being discarded
2990 from the lease when it expired or was released, resulting in
2991 problems if the lease was reallocated to a different client.
2992
2993- If more than one allocation pool is specified that has the same set
2994 of constraints as another allocation pool on the same shared
2995 network, merge the two pools.
2996
2997- Don't print an error in fallback_discard, since this just causes
2998 confusion and does not appear to be helping to encourage anyone to
2999 fix this bug.
3000
3001 Changes since 3.0.1rc4
3002
3003- Fix a bug that would cause the DHCP server to spin if asked to parse
3004 a certain kind of incorrect statement.
3005
3006- Fix a related bug that would prevent an error from being reported in
3007 the same case.
3008
3009- Additional documentation.
3010
3011- Make sure that the hardware address matches the lease when
3012 processing a DHCPRELEASE message.
3013
3014 Changes since 3.0.1rc3
3015
3016- A minor bug fix in the arguments to a logging function call.
3017- Documentation update for dhcpd.conf.
3018
adbef119 3019 Changes since 3.0.1rc2

DH
3020
3021- Allow the primary to send a POOLREQ message. This isn't what the current
3022 failover draft says to do, so we may have to back it out if I can't get the
3023 authors to relent, but the scheme for balancing that's specified in the
3024 current draft seems needlessly hairy, so I'm floating a trial balloon.
3025 The rc1 code did not implement the method described in the draft either.
3026
adbef119 3027 Changes since 3.0.1rc1
98311e4b
DH
3028
3029- Treat NXDOMAIN and NXRRSET as success when we are trying to delete a
3030 domain or RRSET. This allows the DHCP server to forget about a name
3031 it added to the DNS once it's been removed, even if the DHCP server
3032 wasn't the one that removed it.
3033
3034- Install defaults for failover maximum outstanding updates and maximum
3035 silent time. This prevents problems that might occur if these values
3036 were not configured.
3037
3038- Don't do DDNS deletes if ddns-update-style is none.
3039
3040- Return relay agent information options in DHCPNAK. This prevents DHCPNAK
3041 messages from being dropped when the relay agent information option contains
3042 routing information.
3043
3044- Fix a problem where coming up in recover wouldn't result in an update
3045 request being sent.
3046
3047- Add some more chatty messages when we start a recovery update and when it's
3048 done.
3049
3050- Fix a possible problem where some state might have been left around
3051 after the peer lost contact and regained contact about how many updates
3052 were pending.
3053
3054- Don't nix a lease update because of a lease conflict. This test has
3055 never (as far as I know) prevented a mistake, and it appears to cause
3056 problems with failover.
3057
3058- Add support in rc history code for keeping a selective history, rather
3059 than a history of all references and dereferences. This code is only used
3060 when extensive additional debugging is enabled.
3061
adbef119 3062 Changes since 3.0

DH
3063
3064- Make allocators for hash tables. As a side effect, this fixes a memory
3065 smash in the subclass allocation code.
3066
3067- Fix a small bug in omshell where if you try to close an object when
3068 no object is open, it dumps core.
3069
3070- Fix an obscure coredump that could occur on shutdown.
3071
3072- Fix a bug in the recording of host declaration rubouts in the lease file.
3073
3074- Fix two potential spins in the host deletion code.
3075
3076- Fix a core dump that would happen if an application tried to update
3077 a host object attribute with a null value.
3078

3080
3081- Fix a memory leak in the evaluation code.
3082
3083- Fix an obscure core dump.
3084
3085- Print a couple of new warnings when parsing the configuration file
3086 when crucial information is left out.
3087
3088- Log "no free leases" as an error.
3089
3090- Documentation updates.
3091
3092 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 11
3093
3094- Always return a subnet selection option if one is sent.
3095
3096- Fix a warning that was being printed because an automatic data
3097 structure wasn't zeroed.
3098
3099- Fix some failover state transitions that were being handled
3100 incorrectly.
3101
3102- When supersede_lease is called on a lease whose end time has already
3103 expired, but for which a state transition has not yet been done, do
3104 a state transition. This fixes the case where if the secondary
3105 allocated a lease to a client and the lease "expired" while the
3106 secondary was in partner-down, no expiry event would actually
3107 happen, so the lease would remain active until the primary was
3108 restarted.
3109
3110 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 10
3111
3112- Fix a bug that was preventing released leases from changing state
3113 in failover-enabled pools.
3114
3115- Fix a core dump in the client identifier finder code (for host
3116 declarations).
3117
3118- Finish fixing a bug where bogus data would sometimes get logged to
3119 the dhclient.leases file because it was opened as descriptor 2.
3120
3121- Fix the Linux dhclient-script according to suggestions made by
3122 several people on the dhcp-client mailing list.
3123
3124- Log successful DNS updates at LOG_INFO, not LOG_ERROR.
3125
3126- Print an error message and refuse to run if a failover peer is
3127 defined but not referenced by any pools.
3128
3129- Correct a confusing error message in failover.

3144
3145- Fix a parsing bug that broke dns updates (both interim and ad-hoc).
3146 This was introduced in rc8pl1 as an unintended result of the memory
3147 leakage fixes that were in pl1.
3148
3149- Fix a long-standing bug where the server would record that an update
3150 had been done for a client with no name, even though no update had
3151 been done, and then when the client's lease expired the deletion of
3152 that nonexistant record would time out because the name was the null
3153 string.
3154
3155- Clean up the omshell, dhcpctl and omapi man pages a bit.

3160 one-lease-per-client was enabled.
3161
3162- Fix a bug that was causing core dumps on BSD/os in the presence of
3163 malformed packets.
3164
3165- In partner-down state, don't restrict lease lengths to MCLT.
3166
3167- On the failover secondary, record the MCLT received from the primary
3168 so that if we come up without a connection to the primary we don't
3169 wind up giving out zero-length leases.
3170
3171- Fix some compilation problems on BSD/os.
3172
3173- Fix a bunch of memory leaks.
3174
3175- Fix a couple of bugs in the option printer.
3176
3177- Fix an obscure error reporting bug in the dns update code, and also
3178 make the message clearer when a key algorithm isn't supported.
3179
3180- Fix a bug in the tracing code that prevented trace runs that used
3181 tcp connections from being played back.
3182
3183- Add some additional debugging capability for catching memory leaks
3184 on exit.
3185
3186- Make the client release the lease correctly on shutdown.
3187
3188- Add some configurability to the build system.
3189
3190- Install omshell manual page in man1, not man8.
3191
3192- Craig Gwydir sent in a patch that fixes a long-standing bug in the
3193 DHCP client that could cause core dumps, but that for some reason
3194 hadn't been noticed until now.
3195
3196 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 7
3197
3198- Fix a bug in failover where we weren't sending updates after a
3199 transition from communications-interrupted to normal.
3200
3201- Handle expired/released/reset -> free transition according to the
3202 protocol specification (this works - the other way not only wasn't
3203 conformant, but also didn't work).
3204
3205- Add a control object in both client and server that allows either
3206 daemon to be shut down cleanly.
3207
3208- When writing a lease, if we run out of disk space, shut down the
3209 output file and insist on writing a new one before proceeding.
3210
3211- In the server, if the OMAPI listener port is occupied, keep trying
3212 to get it, rather than simply giving up and exiting.
3213
3214- Support fetching variables from leases and also updating and adding
3215 variables to leases via OMAPI.
3216
3217- If two failover peers have wildly different clocks, refuse to start
3218 doing failover.
3219
3220- Fix a bug in the DNS update code that could cause core dumps when
3221 running on alpha processors.
3222
3223- Fixed a bug in ddns updates for static lease entries, thanks to a
3224 patch from Andrey M Linkevitch.
3225
3226- Add support for Darwin/MacOS X
3227
3228- Install omshell (including new documentation).
3229
3230- Support DNS updates in the client (this is a very obscure feature
3231 that most DHCP client users probably will not be able to use).
3232
3233- Somewhat cleaner status logging in the client.
3234
3235- Make OMAPI key naming syntax compatible with the way keys are
3236 actually named (key names are domain names).
3237
3238- Fix a bug in the lease file writer.
3239
3240- Install DHCP ISC headers in a different place than BIND 9 ISC
3241 headers, to avoid causing trouble in BIND 9 builds.
3242
3243- Don't send updates for attributes on an object when the attributes
3244 haven't changed. Support deleting attributes on remote objects.
3245
3246- Fix a number of bugs in omshell, and add the unset and refresh
3247 statements.
3248
3249- Handle disconnects in OMAPI a little bit more intelligently (so that
3250 the caller gets ECONNRESET instead of EINVAL).
3251
3252- Fix a bunch of bugs in the handling of clients that have existing
3253 leases when the try to renew their leases while failover is
3254 operating.
3255
eaf0b302
TL
3256 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 6
3257
3258- Fix a core dump that could happen when processing a DHCPREQUEST from
3259 a client that had a host declaration that contained both a
3260 fixed-address declaration and a dhcp-client-identifier option
3261 declaration, if the client identifier was longer than nine bytes.
3262
3263- Fix a memory leak that could happen in certain obscure cases when
3264 using omapi to manipulate leases.
3265
3266- Fix some bugs and omissions in omshell.
3267

TL
3268 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 5
3269
3270- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that prevented objects in
3271 chains from having their reference counts decreased on dereference.
3272
3273- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that would prevent object
3274 chains from being freed upon removal of the last reference external
3275 to the chain.
3276
3277- Fix a number of other memory leaks in the OMAPI protocol subsystem.
3278
3279- Add code in the OMAPI protocol handler to trace memory leakage.
3280

3282
98311e4b 3283- Support input of dotted quads and colon-separated hex lists as

3292- Fix a bug that would prevent leases from being abandoned properly on
3293 DHCPDECLINE.
3294
3295- Fix failover peer OMAPI support.
3296
3297- In failover, correctly handle expiration of leases. Previously,
3298 leases would never be reclaimed because they couldn't make the
3299 transition from EXPIRED to FREE.
3300
3301- Fix some broken failover state transitions.
3302
3303- Documentation fixes.
3304
3305- Take out an unnecessary check in DHCP relay agent information option
3306 stashing code that was preventing REBINDING clients from rebinding.
3307
3308- Prevent failover peers from allocating leases in DHCPREQUEST
3309 processing if the lease belongs to the other server.
3310
3311- Record server version in lease file introductory comment.
3312
3313- Correctly report connection errors in OMAPI and failover.
3314
3315- Make authentication signature algorithm name comparisons in OMAPI
3316 case-insensitive.
3317
3318- Fix compile problem on SunOS 4.x
3319
98311e4b 3320- If a signature algorithm is not terminated with '.', terminate it so
eaf0b302
TL
3321 that comparisons between fully-qualified names will work
3322 consistently.
3323
3324- Different SIOCGIFCONF probe code, may "fix" problem on some Linux
3325 systems with the probe not working correctly.
3326
3327- Don't allow user to type omapi key on command line of omshell.

3330
3331- Do lease billing on startup in a way that I *think* will finally do
3332 the billing correctly - the previous method could overbill as a
3333 result of duplicate leases.

3340 Herranz for figuring out the main problem.
3341

3343 core dumps.

3346 Friedrich.

3348- Fix a bug in lease billing, thanks to Jonas Bulow.
3349
3350 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 2
3351
3352- Change the conditions under which a DHCPRELEASE is actually
3353 committed to be consistent with lease binding states rather than
98311e4b 3354 using the lease end time. This may fix some problems with the
892fe689
TL
3355 billing class code.
3356
3357- Fix a bug where lease updates would fail on Digital Unix (and maybe
3358 others) because malloc was called with a size of zero.
3359
3360- Fix a core dump that happens when the DHCP server can't create its
3361 trace file.
3362
79ea3de8 3363 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 1 Patchlevel 1
87784777 3364
79ea3de8
TL
3365- Fix the dhcp_failover_put_message to not attempt to allocate a
3366 zero-length buffer. Some versions of malloc() fail if you try to
3367 allocate a zero-length buffer, and this was causing problems on,
3368 e.g., Digital Unix.
3369
3370- Fix a case where the failover code was printing an error message
3371 when no error had occurred.
3372
3373- Fix a problem where when a server went down and back up again, the
3374 peer would not see a state transition and so would stay in the
3375 non-communicating state.
3376
3377- Be smart about going into recover_wait.
3378
3379- Fix a problem in the failover implementation where peers would fail
3380 to come into sync if interrupted in the RECOVER state. This could
3381 have been the cause of some problems people have reported recently.
3382
3383- Fix a problem with billing classes where they would not be unbilled
3384 when the client lease expired.
3385
3386- If select fails, figure out which descriptor is bad, and cut it out
3387 of the I/O loop. This prevents a potentially nasty spin. I
3388 haven't heard any report it in a while, but it came up consistently
3389 in testing.
3390
3391- Fix a bug in the relay agent where if you specified interfaces on
3392 the command line, it would fail.
3393
3394- Fix a couple of small bugs in the omapi connection object (no known
3395 user impact).
3396
3397- Add the missing 3.0 Beta 1 lease conversion script.
3398
3399- Read dhcp client script hooks if they exist, rather than only if
3400 they're executable.

3442 checked. This may have been causing core dumps.
3443
3444- When parsing the lease file, if a lease declaration includes a
3445 billing class statement, and the lease already has a billing class,
3446 unbill the old class.
3447
3448- When processing failover transactions, where acks will be deferred,
3449 process the state transition immediately.
3450
3451- Don't try to use the new SIOCGIFCONF buffer size detection code on
3452 Linux 2.0, which doesn't provide this functionality.
3453
3454- Apply a patch suggested by Tuan Uong for a problem in dlpi.c.
3455
3456- Fix a problem in using the which command in the configure script.
3457
3458- Fix a parse error in the client when setting up an omapi listener.
3459
3460- Document the -n and -g flags to the client.
3461
3462- Make sure there is always a stdin and stdout on startup. This
3463 prevents shell scripts from accidentally writing error messages into
3464 configuration files that happen to be opened as stderr.
3465
3466- If an interface is removed, the client will now notice that it is
3467 gone rather than spinning. This has only been tested on NetBSD.
3468
3469- The client will attempt to get an address even if it can't create a
3470 lease file.
3471
3472- Don't overwrite tracefiles.
3473
3474- Fix some memory allocation bugs in failover.

3517- Implement omshell, which can be used to do arbitrary things to the
3518 server (in theory). (Damien Neil)
3519
3520- Fix a case where if a client had two different leases the server could
3521 actually dereference the second one when it hadn't been referenced,
3522 leading to memory corruption and a core dump. (James Brister)
3523
3524- Fix a case where a client could request the address of another client's
3525 lease, but find_lease wouldn't detect that the other client had it, and
3526 would attempt to allocate it to the client, resulting in a lease conflict
3527 message.
3528
3529- Fix a case where a client with more than one client identifier could be
3530 given a lease where the hardware address was correct but the client
3531 identifier was not, resulting in a lease conflict message.
3532
98311e4b 3533- Fix a problem where the server could write out a colon-separated
3350f5b7
TL
3534 hex list as a value for a variable, which would then not parse.
3535 The fix is to always write strings as quoted strings, with any
3536 non-printable characters quoted as octal escape sequences. So
3537 a file written the old way still won't work, but new files written
3538 this way will work.

3540- Fix documentation for sending non-standard options.

3543 break any configuration files that use the option-nnn convention.
3544 If you want to continue to use this convention for some options,
3545 please be sure to write a definition, like this:
3546
3547 option option-nnn code nnn = string;
3548
3549 You can use a descriptive name instead of option-nnn if you like.
3550
3551- Fix a problem where we would see a DHCPDISCOVER/DHCPOFFER/
3552 DHCPREQUEST/DHCPACK/DHCPREQUEST/DHCPNAK sequence. This was the
3553 result of a deceptively silly bug in supersede_lease.

3568- Add support for transaction tracing. This allows the state of the
3569 DHCP server on startup, and all the subsequent transactions, to be
3570 recorded in a file which can then be played back to reproduce the
3571 behaviour of the DHCP server. This can be used to quickly
3572 reproduce bugs that cause core dumps or corruption, and also for
3573 tracking down memory leaks.
3574
3575- Incorporate some bug fixes provided by Joost Mulders for the DLPI
3576 package which should clear up problems people have been seeing on
3577 Solaris.
3578
3579- Fix bugs in the handling of options stored as linked lists (agent
3580 options, fqdn options and nwip options) that could cause memory
3581 corruption and core dumps.
3582
3583- Fix a bug in DHCPREQUEST handling that resulted in DHCPNAK messages
3584 not being send in some cases when they were needed.

3587
3588- Make initial failover startup *much* faster. This was researched
3589 and implemented by Damien Neil.

3591- Add a --version flag to all executables, which prints the program
3592 name and version to standard output.

3628
3629- Finish fixing a long-standing bug in the agent options code. This
3630 was causing core dumps and failing to operate correctly - in
3631 particular, agent option stashing wasn't working. Agent option
3632 stashing should now be working, meaning that agent options can be
3633 used in class statements to control address allocation.
3634
3635- Fix up documentation.

3638 significantly in a high-demand situation.

3642- Fix a compile error on some older operating systems.

3645 transmitting packets to the server. Handy for debugging; not much
3646 practical use otherwise.

3657- Work around the Win98 DHCP client, which NUL-terminates the FQDN
3658 option.

3660- Work around Win98 and Win2k clients that will claim they want to do
3661 the update even when they don't have any way to do it.
3662
3663- Fix some log messages that can be printed when failover is operating
3664 that were not printing enough information.
3665
3666- It was possible for a DHCPDISCOVER to get an allocation even when
3667 the state machine said the server shouldn't be responding.
3668
3669- Don't load balance DHCPREQUESTs from clients in RENEWING and
3670 REBINDING, since in RENEWING, if we heard it, it's for us, and in
3671 REBINDING, the client wouldn't have got to REBINDING if its primary
3672 were answering.

3685 decoder that would prevent any key with an 'x' in its base64
3686 representation from working correctly.
3687
3688- Thanks to Chris Cheney and Michael Sanders, we have a fix for the
3689 hang that they both spotted in the DHCP server - when
3690 one-lease-per-client was set, the code to release the "other" lease
3691 could spin.
3692
3693- Fix a problem with alignment of the input buffer in bpf in cases
3694 where two packets arrive in the same bpf read.
3695
3696- Fix a problem where the relay agent would crash if you specified an
3697 interface name on the command line.
3698
3699- Add the ability to conditionalize client behaviour based on the
3700 client state.
3701
3702- Add support for the FQDN option, and added support for a new way of
3703 doing ddns updates (ddns update style interim) that allows more than
3704 one DHCP server to update the DNS for the same network(s). This
3705 was implemented by Damien Neil with some additional functionality
3706 added by Ted Lemon.
3707
3708- Damien added a "log" statement, so that the configuration file can
3709 be made to log debugging information and other information.
3710
3711- Fixed a bug that caused option buffers not to be terminated with an
3712 end option.
3713
3714- Fixed a long-standing bug in the support for option spaces where the
3715 options are stored as an ordered list rather than in a hash table,
3716 which could theoretically result in memory pool corruption.
3717
3718- Prevent hardware declarations with no actual hardware address from
3719 being written as something unparsable, and behave correctly in the
3720 face of a null hardware address on input.
3721
3722- Allow key names to be FQDNs, and qualify the algorithm name if it is
3723 specified unqualified.
3724
3725- Modify the DDNS update code so that it never prints the "resolver
3726 failed" message, but instead says *why* the resolver failed.

3728- Officially support the subnet selection option, which now has an
3729 RFC.

3769 select will just fail if the timeout is too long (!).
3770

3772 silently dropped.

3775 client had the lease, the DHCP server would reallocate it anyway.

3791- Fix a possible DoS attack where a client could cause the checksummer
3792 to dump core. This was a read, not a write, so it shouldn't be
3793 possible to exploit it any further than that.
3794
3795- Implement client- and server-side support for using the Client FQDN
3796 option.
3797
3798- Support for other option spaces in the client has been added. This
3799 means that it is now possible to define a vendor option space on the
3800 client, request options in that space from the server (which must
3801 define the same option space), and then use those options in the
3802 client. This also allows NWIP and Client FQDN options to be used
3803 meaningfully.
3804
3805- Add object initializer support. This means that objects can now be
3806 initialized to something other than all-zeros when allocated, which
3807 makes, e.g., the interface object support code a little more robust.
3808
3809- Fix an off-by-one bug in the host stuffer. This was causing host
3810 deletes not the work, and may also have been causing OMAPI
3811 connections to get dropped. Thanks to James Brister for tracking
3812 this one down!
