13While release 4.4.2b1 is primarily a maintenance release that addresses a number
14of defects, it does introduce a few new features:
15
16- Keama - Keama is a migration utility that assists in converting ISC DHCP server
17 configuration files to Kea configuration files. It is found in the keama
18 subdirectory and includes a README.md file with instructions on how to build it
19 as well as a manpage on its usage.
20
21- Two new server parameters related to ping checking were added:
22
231. ping-cltt-secs which allows the user to specify the number of seconds that must
24 elapse since CLTT before a ping check is conducted.
25
262. ping-timeout-ms which allows the user to specify the amount of time the server
27 waits for a ping-check response in milliseconds rather than in seconds.
28
29
30In general, the areas of focus for ISC DHCP 4.4 were:
397599cb
TM
31
321. Dynamic DNS additions
332. dhclient improvements
343. Support for dynamic shared libraries
35
36Dynamic DNS Improvements:
37
38- We added three new server configuration parameters which influence DDNS
39 conflict resolution:
40
41 1. ddns-dual-stack-mixed-mode - alters DNS conflict resolution behavior
42 to mitigate issues with non-compliant clients in dual stack environments.
43
44 2. ddns-guard-id-must-match - relaxes the DHCID RR client id matching
45 requirement of DNS conflict resolution.
46
47 3. ddns-other-guard-is-dynamic - alters dual-stack-mixed-mode behavior to
48 allow unguarded DNS entries to be overwritten in certain cases
49
50- The server now honors update-static-leases parameter for static DHCPv6
51 hosts.
52
53dhclient Improvements:
54
a804fcc0 55 - We've added three command line parameters to dhclient:
397599cb
TM
56
57 1. --prefix-len-hint - directs dhclient to use the given length as
58 the prefix length hint when requesting prefixes
59
a804fcc0 60 2. --decline-wait-time - instructs the client to wait the given number
397599cb
TM
61 of seconds after declining an IPv4 address before issuing a discover
62
a804fcc0
TM
63 3. --address-prefix-len - specifies the prefix length passed by dhclient
64 into the client script (via the environment variable ip6_prefixlen) with
65 each IPv6 address. We added this parameter because we have changed the
66 default value from 64 to 128 in order to be compliant with RFC3315bis
67 draft (-09, page 64) and RFC5942, Section 4, point 1.
68 **WARNING**: The new default value of 128 may not be backwardly compatible
69 with your environment. If you are operating without a router, such as
7932503f 70 between VMs on a host, you may find they cannot see each other with prefix
a804fcc0
TM
71 length of 128. In such cases, you'll need to either provide routing or use
72 the command line parameter to set the value to 64. Alternatively you may
73 change the default at compile time by setting DHCLIENT_DEFAULT_PREFIX_LEN
74 in includes/site.h.
75
397599cb
TM
76 - dhclient will now generate a DHCPv6 DECLINE message when the client script
77 indicates a DAD failure
78
79Dynamic shared library support:
80
81 Configure script, configure.ac+lt, which supports libtool is now provided
82 with the source tar ball. This script can be used to configure ISC DHCP
9de870cc 83 to build with libtool and thus use dynamic shared libraries.
4ff4053b 84
4aa6129a
TM
85Other Highlights:
86
87 - The server now supports dhcp-cache-threshold for DHCPv6 operations
88 - The server now supports DHPv6 address allocation based on EUI-64 DUIDs
89 - Experimental support for alternate relay port in the both the server
90 and relay for IPv4, IPv6 and 4o6 (see: draft-ietf-dhc-relay-port-10.txt)

cce04313 107 Changes since 4.4.1 (New Features)
a5b21e16
TM
108
109- A new configuration parameter, ping-cltt-secs (v4 operation only), has
110 been added to allow the user to specify the number of seconds that must
111 elapse since CLTT before a ping check is conducted. Prior to this, the
0cd94b5e 112 value was hard coded at 60 seconds. Please see the server man pages for
a5b21e16
TM
113 a more detailed discussion.
114 [ISC-Bugs #36283]
cce04313 115
cb89a691
TM
116- A new configuration parameter, ping-timeout-ms (v4 operation only),
117 has been added that allows the user to specify the amount of time
118 the server waits for a ping-check response in milliseconds rather
119 than in seconds (via ping-timeout). When greater than zero, the value
120 of ping-timeout-ms will override the value of ping-timeout. Thanks
121 to Jay Doran from Bluecat Networks for suggesting this feature.
0cd94b5e 122 [Gitlab #10]
cb89a691 123
2ca63671
TM
124- An experimental tool called, Keama (KEA Migration Assistant), which helps
125 translate ISC DHCP configurations to Kea configurations, is now included
126 in the distribution.
127 [Gitlab #34]
128
cce04313
TM
129 Changes since 4.4.1 (Bug Fixes)
130
131- Corrected a misuse of the BIND9 DDNS API which caused DDNS updates to be
132 carried out over TCP rather than UDP. The coding error was exposed by
133 migration to BIND9 9.11. Thanks to Jinmei Tatuya at Infoblox for
134 reporting the issue.
135 [ISC-Bugs #47757]
136
c07eb442
TM
137- Bind9 now defaults to requiring python to build. The Makefile for
138 building Bind9 when bundled with ISC DHCP was modified to turn off
139 this dependency.
0cd94b5e 140 [Gitlab #3]
9ef78585
TM
141
142- Corrected a dual-stack mixed-mode issue that occurs when both
143 ddns-guard-id-must-match and ddns-other-guard-is-dynamic
144 are enabled and that caused the server to incorrectly interpret
145 the presence of a guard record belonging to another client as
146 a case of no guard record at all. Thanks to Fernando Soto
147 from BlueCat Networks for reporting this issue.
0cd94b5e 148 [Gitlab #1]
c07eb442 149
1c779d3b
TM
150- Corrected a compilation issue that occurred when building without DNS
151 update ability (e.g. by undefining NSUPDATE).
0cd94b5e 152 [Gitlab #16]
1c779d3b 153
fce94f06
TM
154- Corrected an issue that was causing the server, when running in
155 DHPCv4 mode, to segfault when class lease limits are reached.
dfcbe359
TM
156 Thanks to Peter Nagy at Porion-Digital for reporting the matter
157 and submitting a patch.
0cd94b5e 158 [Gitlab #13]
fce94f06 159
753d458b 160- Made minor changes to eliminate warnings when compiled with GCC 9.
71277027 161 Thanks to Brett Neumeier for bringing the matter to our attention.
0cd94b5e
TM
162 [Gitlab #15]
163
164- Fixed potential memory leaks in parser error message generation
165 spotted by Coverity, CIDs: 1448191, 1448193, 1448194, 1448195
166 [Gitlab #30]
167
168- Updated URL of IEEE oui.txt in contrib/dhcp-lease-list.pl. Thanks
169 to Tommy Smith for contributing the patch.
170 [Gitlab #26]
171
172- Fixed define flags when using SO_BINDTODEVICE. Thanks to Joe LeVeque for
173 reporting the issue.
174 [GitLab #19]
175
176- Applied a patch from OpenBSD to always set the scope id of outbound
177 DHPCv6 packets. Note this change only applies when compiling under
178 OpenBSD. Thanks to Brad Smith at OpenBSD from bringing it to our
179 attention.
180 [Gitlab #33]
181
182- Modified dhclient to not discard config file leases that are
183 duplicates of server-provided leases and to retain such leases
184 after they have been used as the fallback active lease and
185 DHCP service has been restored. This allows them to be used
82e0ea57 186 more than once during the lifetime of a dhclient instance.
0cd94b5e
TM
187 This applies to DHCPv4 operation only.
188 [Gitlab #9]
189
190- Corrected a number of reference counter and zero-length buffer leaks.
191 [Gitlab #57]
192
193- Closed a small window of time between the installation of graceful
194 shutdown signal handlers and application context startup, during which
195 the receipt of shutdown signal would cause a REQUIRE() assertion to
196 occur. Note this issue is only visible when compiling with
197 ENABLE_GENTLE_SHUTDOWN defined.
198 [Gitlab #53]
199
200- Corrected a buffer overflow that can occur when retrieving zone
201 names that are more than 255 characters in length.
202 [Gitlab #20]
203
204- The "d" domain name option format was incorrectly handled as text
205 instead of RFC 1035 wire format. Thanks to Jay Doran at BlueCat Networks
206 for reporting this issue.
207 [Gitlab #2]
208
209- Improved the error message issued when a host declaration has both
210 a uid and a dhcp-client-identifier. Server configuration parsing will
211 now fail if a host declaration specifies more than one uid.
212 [Gitlab #7]
753d458b 213
4adcee93
TM
214- Updated developer's documentation on building and running unit tests.
215 Removed support for --with-atf=bind as BIND9 no longer bundles in ATF
216 source.
217 [Gitlab #35]
218
83175640
TM
219- Fixed a syntax error in ldap.c which cropped up under Ubuntu
220 18.04.1/gcc 7.4.0. Thanks to Charles Hedrick for pointing it out.
221 [Gitlab #51]
222
2661204d
TM
223- Added clarification to dhcp-options.5 section on ip-address values
224 describing the first-use DNS resolution of options with hostnames as
225 values (e.g. next-server).
226 [Gitlab #28]

cce04313 230 Changes since 4.4.0 (Bug Fixes)
6826003b
TM
231
232- A delayed-ack value of 0 (the default), now correctly disables the delayed
233 feature. A change in 4.4.0 prohibited lease updates marking leases active
234 from be written to the lease file when delayed-ack is 0. This in turn,
235 caused servers to lose active lease assignments upon restart.
236 [ISC-Bugs #47141]
237
197b26f2
TM
238! Option reference count was not correctly decremented in error path
239 when parsing buffer for options. Reported by Felix Wilhelm, Google
240 Security Team.
241 [ISC-Bugs #47140]
c5931725
TM
242 CVE: CVE-2018-5733
243
244! Corrected an issue where large sized 'X/x' format options were causing
245 option handling logic to overwrite memory when expanding them to human
246 readable form. Reported by Felix Wilhelm, Google Security Team.
247 [ISC-Bugs #47139]
248 CVE: CVE-2018-5732
197b26f2 249
d5118758
TM
250- Added use of new Bind9 compatibility header files, that are now necessary
251 to supply type definitions for primitive data types, removed from Bind9
252 proper. Altered util/bind.sh to pull from Bind9 repo on gitlab.
253 [ISC-Bugs #48072]
254 [ISC-Bugs #48071]
255
d394b602
TM
256 Changes since 4.4.0b1 (New Features)
257
258- Duplicate address detection when binding to a new IPv6 address was added
259 to the following dhclient scripts: linux,freebsd,netbsd,openbsd, and macos.
260 The scripts will check for DAD errors after binding to a new IPv6 address
261 for at most --dad-wait-time seconds. If a DAD error is detected the script
262 will exit with a value of 3, instructing dhclient to decline the address. If
263 dad-wait-time is zero (the default), DAD error checking is not peformed.
264 [ISC-Bugs 46805]
265
efd3b1e2
TM
266- Support for sending and receiving additional DHCP4 options has been added
267 to both the dhcpd and dhclient. Specifically: option codes 93,94, and 97
268 (RFC 4578); code 150 (RFC 5859); and codes 209,219, and 211 (RFC 5071).
269 Beyond configuring, sending, requesting, and receiving these options neither
270 server nor client apply any additional logic based on their values.
271 Thanks to Peter Lewis for requesting this change.
272 [ISC-Bugs 47062]
273
d638452e
TM
274 Changes since 4.4.0b1 (Bug Fixes)
275
276- Added clarifying text to dhcpd.conf.5 explaining the class match expressions
277 cannot rely on the results of executable statements.
278 [ISC-Bugs #45451]
279
db4e4aa2
TM
280- Fixed a bug which causes dhcpd and dhclient to crash on certain
281 systems when given relative path names for lease or pid files on
282 the command line. Affected systems are those on which the C library
283 function, realpath() does not support a second parameter value of
284 NULL (see manpages for realpath(3)).
285 [ISC-Bugs #46957]
286
b94669fa
TM
287- Fixed a build issue when building with embedded BIND9 under OpenBSD that
288 was causing BIND9 build to not generate dns/enumclass.h and dns/enumtype.h.
289 [ISC-Bugs #46971]
290
de964f22
TM
291- Added <dhcp>/m4/README to the distribution tarball. Some versions of
292 ac_local() treat the absence of the m4 subdirectory as error rather than
293 warning. This was causing the call to autoreconf, necessary for building
294 with libtool, to fail.
295 [ISC-Bugs #47075]
296
4aa6129a 297 Changes since 4.4.0a1 (New Features)
7512d88b 298
4aa6129a
TM
299- Added experimental support for relay port (draft-ietf-dhc-relay-port-10.txt)
300 feature for DHCPv4, DHCPv6 and DHCPv4-over-DHCPv6. Relay port has to be
301 enabled at compile time via --enable-relay-port and is fully backward
302 compatible (i.e. works with previous implementations of servers and relays
303 using the standard ports). A new --rp <relay-port> command line option
304 specifies to dhcrelay an alternate source port for upstream (i.e. toward
305 the server) messages. Thanks to Naiming Shen and Enke Chen of Cisco
306 systems for submitting these patches.
307 [ISC-Bugs #44535]
308
309- Added --release-on-roam to dhcpd server. When enabled and the server detects
310 that a DHCPv6 client (IAID+DUID) has roamed to a new network, it will release
311 the pre-existing leases on the old network and emit a log statement similar
312 to the following:
313
314 "Client: <id> roamed to new network, releasing lease: <address>"
315
316 The server will carry out all of the same steps that would normally occur
317 when a client explicitly releases a lease. This behavior is disabled by
318 default and may only be specified globally. Prior to this the server renders
319 the leases unavailable until they expire or the server is restarted. Clients
320 that need leases in multiple networks must supply a unique IAID in each IA.
321 When release-on-roam is disabled (the default) the server maintains the
322 prior behavior of making such leases unavailable until they expire or the
323 server is restarted. Clients that need leases in multiple networks must
324 supply a unique IAID in each IA. This parameter may only be specified at
325 the global level. Thanks to Fernando Soto from BlueCat Networks for
326 suggesting this change.
327 [ISC-Bugs #44576]
328 [ISC-Bugs #46849]
329
330- Support for delayed-ack is now compiled in by default. Prior to this
331 it had to be enabled at compile time via --enable-delayed-acks. The
332 default value for delayed-ack, however, has been changed from 28 to 0
333 (i.e. disabled). This was done to minimize the impact on users not
334 currently using the feature. Please note that the delayed-ack feature
335 is not currently compatible with support for DHPCv4-over-DHCPv6 so
336 when a 4to6 port command line argument enables this in the server the
337 delayed-ack value is reset to 0.
338 [ISC-Bugs #42446]
339
340- The server (-6) now honors the parameter, update-static-leases, for static
341 (fixed-address6) DHCPv6 leases. It is worth noting that because stateful
342 data is not retained by the server for static leases, each time a client
343 requests or renews a static lease, the server will perform DDNS updates for
344 it. This may have significant performance implications for environments
345 with many clients that request or renew static leases often. Similarly,
346 the DNS entries will not be removed by server when a client issues a RELEASE
347 nor if the lease is deleted from the configuration. In such cases the DNS
348 entries must be removed manually. This feature is disabled by default.
349 Thanks to both Bill Shirley and dgutier-at-cern-dot-ch for requesting
350 this change.
351 [ISC-Bugs #34097]
352 [ISC-Bugs #41054]
353 [ISC-Bugs #41450]
354
355- Added to the server (-6) a new statement, local-address6, which specifies
356 the source address of packets sent by the server. An additional flag,
357 bind-local-address6, disabled by default, binds the service socket to
358 to local-address6. Note that bind-local-address does not work with direct
359 clients: a relay has to forward packets to the server using the
360 local-address6 destination.
361 [ISC-Bugs #46084]
362
363 Changes since 4.4.0a1 (Bugs)
364
365- The server now recognizes environment variables PATH_DHCPD_DB and
366 PATH_DHCPD_PID. These had been incorrectly compiled out of the code
367 unless DHCPv6 support was disabled. Additionally, the server man
368 pages were corrected to accurately reflect how the server chooses
369 file names (see lease-file-name and pid-file-name statements). Thanks
7932503f
TM
370 to Fernando Soto at Bluecat Networks for bringing this matter to our
371 attention.
4aa6129a
TM
372 [ISC-Bugs #46859]
373
374- Removed an "Impossible condition" error upon exit in the dhcpd server that
375 has been shutdown via OMAPI. This condition was only apparent under Solaris
376 when building with --enable-use-sockets and --enable-ipv4-pktinfo.
377 [ISC-Bugs #36118]
378
65eed5c1 379- Corrected some minor Coverity issues: CID 1426059, 1426058, and 1426057.
4aa6129a
TM
380 [ISC-Bugs #46836]
381
382- Added missing text to dhclient.8 and expanded release note coverage
383 for --address-prefix-len changes.

0e76cb91 385 Changes since 4.3.6 (New Features)
3210786b 386
f9741514
FD
387- Added --enable-bind-install to install embedded bind includes and
388 libraries. Default is to not install them (it was the previous
389 behavior). If you'd like to change the includedir and/or libdir
5a67b030
FD
390 installation directories to something different than for ISC DHCP
391 you must pass them using the --with-bind-extra-config configuration
392 arguments.
f9741514
FD
393 [ISC-Bugs #39318]
394
007ba82a
FD
395- Added support of dynamic shared libraries with libtool. A new
396 --enable-libtool configuration parameter is available but
397 should not be used directly: *please* read the build configuration
398 section in the README file for the recommended procedure.
399 [ISC-Bugs #29402]
400
417b7b4a
TM
401- IPv6 operation now supports an EUI-64 based address allocation which will
402 calculate addresses for clients with EUI-64 DUIDs based on those DUIDs when
403 enabled by setting use-eui-64 true. The parameter may defined down to the
404 pool scope. Note this feature must be compiled in by defining EUI_64 in
405 includes/site.h. This flag is undefined by default.
406 [ISC-Bugs #43927]
407
b3e6fd51
TM
408- The directory includes/isc-dhcp and it's only occupant, dst.h, have
409 been removed from the source tree. They are obsolete for branches
410 other than v4_1_esv.
411 [ISC-bugs #45541]
412
7512d88b
TM
413- Replaced ISC licensing with Mozilla Public License, MPL 2.0 licensing
414 throughout. Please see https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/MPL/2.0/ to read
415 the MPL 2.0 license terms.
416 [ISC-Bugs #45541]
417
3e985dbf
TM
418- Load balancing for failover peers can now be disabled by setting
419 "load balance max secs" to 0. Doing so for both peers means both
420 servers will respond to all DHCPDISCOVERs or DHCPREQUESTs as soon as
421 they are received.
422 [ISC-Bugs #39669]
423
c0e9661e
TM
424- Added a new dhclient command line parameter, --prefix-len-hint <length>.
425 When used in conjunction with -P, it directs dhclient to use the given
d8805cee
TM
426 length as the prefix length hint when requesting prefixes. Thanks to both
427 Indy, of the FireballISO open source project and H. Peter Anvin for
428 suggesting this change.
429 [ISC-Bugs #43792]
430 [ISC-Bugs #35112]
431 [ISC-Bugs #32228]
432 [ISC-Bugs #29470]
3e88222f
TM
433
434- dhclient will now wait for 10 seconds after declining an IPv4 address
435 before issuing a discover. This is in keeping with RFC 2131, section 3.1.5.
436 Prior to this dhclient did not wait at all. The amount of time dhclient

449- When given the -T command line argument, in addition to reading the
450 current lease file, the server will write the leases to a temporary
451 lease file. This can help detect issues in server configuration that
452 only surface when leases are written to the file. The current lease
453 file will not be modified and the temporary lease file is removed upon
454 completion of the test.

468- Replaced compilation option, enable-secs-byteorder, with a run-time, server
469 configuration parameter, check-secs-byte-order. When enabled, the
470 server will check for clients that do the byte ordering on the secs field
471 incorrectly. This field should be in network byte order but some clients
472 get it wrong. When this parameter is enabled the server will examine the
473 secs field and if it looks wrong (high byte non zero and low byte zero) swap
474 the bytes. The default is disabled. This parameter is only useful when
475 doing load balancing within failover.

487- Added support for 'dhcp-cache-threshold' to IPv6 operation: If a client
488 renews before 'dhcp-cache-threshold' percent of its lease has elapsed
489 (default 25%), the server will reuse the allocated lease (provide a
490 lease within the currently allocated lease-time) rather than extend or
491 renew the lease. This allows the server to reply without needlessly
492 writing leases to disk. The preferred and valid lease lifetimes
493 sent to the client will be reduced by the age of the lease. The option
494 may be specified down to the pool level and is supported for all three

526 In addition, dhclient now supports a command line argument,
527 --address-prefix-len, which may be used to override the default value.
528 **WARNING**: This change may not be backwardly compatible with your
529 environment. If you are operating without a router, such as between VMs on
530 a host, you may find they cannot see each with prefix length of 128. In
531 such cases, you'll need to either provide routing or use the command line
532 parameter to set the value to 64. Alternatively you may change the default
533 at compile time by setting DHCLIENT_DEFAULT_PREFIX_LEN in includes/site.h.

673- Added --dad-wait-time parameter to dhclient. It specifies the maximum time,
674 in seconds, that the client process should wait for the duplicate address
675 detection to complete before initiating DHCP requests. This value is
676 propagated to the dhclient script and the script is responsible for waiting
677 the specified amount of time or until DAD has completed. If the script does
678 not support it, specifying this parameter has no effect. The default value
679 is 0 which specifies that the script should not wait for DAD. With this
680 change the following scripts have been modified to support the new parameter:

684- The server nows checks both the address and length of a prefix delegation
685 when attempting to match it to a prefix pool. This ensures the server
686 responds properly when pool configurations change such that once valid,
687 "in-pool" delegations are now treated as being invalid. During lease
688 file loading at startup, the server will discard any PD leases that
689 are deemed "out-of-pool" either by address or mis-matched prefix length.
690 Clients seeking to renew or rebind such leases will get a response of
691 No Binding in the case of the former, and the prefix delegation with
692 lifetimes set to zero in the case of the latter. Thanks to Mark Nejedlo

854- ISC DHCP now follows the common convention to use the base name a
855 program is invoked with (aka argv[0], vs. a builtin name) for
856 logs. This should help differentiate syslog entries for DHCPv4 and
857 DHCPv6 servers. You can define OLD_LOG_NAME in includes/site.h to
858 keep the previous behavior.

861- The Linux packet filter code now correctly treats only the least significant
862 12 bits in an inbound packet's TCI value as the VLAN id (per IEEE 802.1Q).
863 Prior to this it was using the entire 16 bit value as the VLAN id and

1063- The server now does a better check to see if it can allocate the memory
1064 for large blocks of v4 leases and should provide a slightly better error
1065 message. Note well: the server pre-allocates v4 addresses, if you use
1066 a large range, such as a /8, the server will attempt to use a large
1067 amount of memory and may not start if there either isn't enough memory
1068 or the size exceeds what the code supports.

1071- The server will now reject unicast Request, Renew, Decline, and Release
1072 messages from a client unless the server would have sent that client the
1073 dhcp6.unicast option. This behavior is in compliance with paragraph 1 in
1074 each of the sections 18.2,1, 18.2.3, 18.2.6, and 18.2.7 of RFC 3315. Prior
1075 to this, the server would simply accept the messages. Now, in order for
1076 the server to accept such a message, the server configuration must include
1077 the dhcp6.unicast option either globally or within the shared network to
1078 which the requested lease belongs. In other words, the server will map
1079 the first IA_XX address found within the client message to a shared-network
1080 and look for the presence of the unicast option there and then globally.

1149- Corrected an issue in v6 lease file parsing. Prior to this, when encountering
1150 a lease with an address for which no configured pool exists, the server was
1151 declaring the lease file corrupt and incorrectly skipping over the subsequent
1152 entry in the file. The server will now emit a log message indicating that
1153 no pool was found for the address (or prefix) and correctly resume parsing
1154 with the next entry in the lease file. Our thanks to Michal Žejdl for
1155 reporting the issue.
1156 [ISC-Bugs #39314]
1157
1158- Be more liberal in finding a subnet group associated with a static
1159 prefix. When we added the class matching code for v6 we also added
1160 a requirement that the static prefix must be within a subnet the
1161 client was in, in order to find the proper statements. We now
1162 look for a subnet based on the prefix, failing that on the static
1163 address for the client and failing that on the shared network
1164 itself.
1165 [ISC-Bugs #38329]
1166
1167- Add a new action expression "parse_vendor_options", which can be used
1168 to parse a vendor-encapsualted-option received by the server based on
1169 the encoding specified by the vendor-option-space statement.
1170 [ISC-Bugs #36449]

1177- Relax the requirement that prefix pools must be within the subnet.
1178 This was added in as part of #32453 in order to avoid configuration

1180 within the same subnet and many people configure them in that fashion.

1237 [ISC-Bugs #37780]
1238
1239- Unit test execution now uses a path augmented during configuration
1240 processing of the --with-atf option to locate ATF runtime tools, atf-run
1241 and atf-report. For most installations of ATF, this should alleviate the
1242 need to manually include them in the PATH, as was formerly required.
1243 If the configure script cannot locate the tools it will emit a warning,
1244 informing the user that the tools must be in the PATH when running unit
1245 tests.
1246 Secondly, please note that "make check" will now exit with a failure status
1247 code (non-zero) if one or more unit tests fail. This means that invoking
1248 "make check" from an upper level directory will cause the make process to
1249 STOP after the first test subdirectory with failed test(s). To force all
1250 tests in all subdirectories to run, regardless of individual test outcome,
1251 use the command "make -k check".
1252 [ISC-Bugs #38619]
1253
1254 Changes since 4.3.1
1255
1256- Corrected parser's right brace matching when a statement contains an error.
1257 [ISC-Bugs #36021]
1258
1259- TSIG-authenticated dynamic DNS updates now support the use of these
1260 additional algorithms: hmac-sha1, hmac-sha224, hmac-sha256, hmac-sha384,
1261 and hmac-sha512
1262 [ISC-Bugs #36947]
1263
1264- Added check for invalid failover message type. Thanks to Tobias Stoeckmann
1265 working with the OpenBSD project who spotted the issue and provided the
1266 patch.
1267 [ISC-Bugs #36653]
1268
1269- Corrected rate limiting checks for bad packet logging. Thanks to Tobias
1270 Stoeckmann working with the OpenBSD project who spotted the issue and
1271 provided the patch.
1272 [ISC-Bugs #36897]
1273
1274- Log statements depicting what files will be used by the server now occur
1275 after the configuration file has been processed.
1276 [ISC-Bugs #36671]
1277
1278- Addressed Coverity issues reported as of 07-31-2014:
1279 [ISC-Bugs #36712] Corrects Coverity reported "high" impact issues.
1280 [ISC-Bugs #36933] Corrects Coverity reported "medium" impact issues
1281 [ISC-Bugs #37708] Fixes compilation error in dst_api.c seen in older
1282 compilers that was introduced by #36712
1283
1284- Server now supports a failover split value of 256.
1285 [ISC-Bugs] #36664]
1286
1287- Remove unneeded error #defines. These defines were included in case
1288 external programs required the older versions of the macro. They
1289 have been #ifdeffed for now and will be removed at a future date.
1290 See site.h for the #define to include them again, but you should
1291 switch to using the DHCP_R_* versions instead of the ISC_R_* versions.
1292 Also ISC_R_MULTIPLE has been removed as it is also defined in bind.
1293 [ISC-Bugs #37128]
1294
1295- Added checks in range6 and prefix6 statement parsing to ensure addresses
1296 are within the declared subnet. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the
1297 bug report and patch.
1298 [ISC-Bugs #32453]
1299 [ISC-Bugs #17766]
1300 [ISC-Bugs #18510]
1301 [ISC-Bugs #23698]
1302 [ISC-Bugs #28883]
1303
1304- Addressed checksum issues:
1305 Added checksum readiness check to Linux packet filtering which eliminates
1306 invalid packet drops due to checksum errors when checksum offloading is
1307 in use. Based on dhcp-4.2.2-xen-checksum.patch made to the Fedora project.
1308 [ISC-Bugs #22806]
1309 [ISC-Bugs #15902]
1310 [ISC-Bugs #17739]
1311 [ISC-Bugs #18010]
1312 [ISC-Bugs #22556]
1313 [ISC-Bugs #29769]
1314 Inbound packets with UDP checksums of 0xffff now validate correctly rather
1315 than being dropped.
1316 [ISC-Bugs #24216]
1317 [ISC-Bugs #25587]
1318
1319- Added the echo-client-id configuration parameter to the server configuration.
1320 The server now supports RFC 6842 compliant behavior by setting a new
1321 configuration parameter, echo-client-id. When enabled, the server will
1322 include the client identifier option (Option code 61) if received, in its
1323 responses. The server identifier returned in NAKs (if enabled) will now
1324 be the globally defined value (if one) if the server cannot attribute the
1325 inbound request to a known subnet.
1326 [ISC-Bugs #35958]
1327 [ISC-Bugs #32545]
1328
1329- Added support of the configuration parameter, use-host-decl-names, to
1330 BOOTP request handling.
1331 [ISC-Bugs #36233]
1332
1333- Added logic to ignore the signal, SIGPIPE, which ensures write failures
1334 will be delivered as errors rather than as SIGPIPE signals on all OSs.
1335 Thanks to Marius Tomaschewski from SUSE who reported the issue and provided
1336 the patch upon which the fix is based.
1337 [ISC-Bugs #32222]
1338
1339- In the failover code, handle the case of communications being interrupted
1340 when the servers are dealing with POTENTIAL-CONFLICT. This patch allows
1341 the primary to accept the secondary moving from POTENTIAL-CONFLICT to
1342 RESOLUTION-INTERRUPTED as well as handling the bind update process better.
1343 In addition the code to resend update or update all requests has been
1344 modified to send requests more often.
1345 [ISC-Bugs #36810]
1346 [ISC-Bugs #20352]
1347
1348- By default, the server will now choose the value to use in the forward DNS
1349 name from the following in order of preference:
1350
1351 1. FQDN option if provided by the client
1352 2. Host name option if provided by the client
1353 3. Configured option host-name if defined
1354
1355 As before, this may be overridden by defining ddns-hostname to the desired
1356 value (or expression). In addition, the server logic has been extended to
1357 use the value of the host name declaration if use-host-decl-names is enabled
1358 and no other value is available.
1359 [ISC-Bugs #21323]
1360
1361- DNS updates were being attempted when dhcp-cache-threshold enabled the use of
1362 the existing lease and the forward DNS name had not changed. This has been
1363 corrected.
1364 [ISC-Bugs #37368]
1365 [ISC-Bugs #38636]
1366
1367- Corrected an issue which caused dhclient to incorrectly form the result when
1368 prepending or appending to the IPv4 domain-search option, received from the
1369 server, when either of the values being combined contain compressed
1370 components.
1371 [ISC-Bugs #20558]
1372
1373- Added the server-id-check parameter to the server configuration.
1374 This parameter allows run-time control over whether or not a server,
1375 participating in failover, verifies the dhcp-server-identifier option in
1376 DHCP REQUESTs against the server's id before processing the request.
1377 Formerly, enabling this behavior was done at compilation time through
1378 the use of the #define, SERVER_ID_CHECK, which has been removed from site.h
1379 The functionality is now only available through the new runtime parameter.
1380 [ISC-Bugs #37551]
1381
1382- During startup, when the server encounters a lease whose binding state is
1383 FTS_BACKUP but whose pool has no configured failover peer, it will reset the
1384 lease's binding state to FTS_FREE. This allows the leases to be reclaimed
1385 by the server after a pool's configuration has changed from failover to
1386 standalone. Prior to this such leases would remain stuck in the backup state
1387 making them unavailable for assignment. Note this conversion will occur
1388 whether or not the server is compiled for failover.
1389 [ISC-Bugs #36960]
1390
1391- Fixed a small issue in the treatment of hosts in the inform processing
1392 that could cause the response to an inform to include information from
1393 the wrong scope. The two examples we've heard of are getting subnet
1394 instead of group information associated with a host entry, or getting
1395 global information instead of subnet if the host entry was built via
1396 omapi. Thanks to Julien Soula at University of Lille for finding the
1397 bug and supplying a patch.
1398 [ISC-Bugs #35712]
1399
1400- Avoid calling pool_timer() recursively from supersede_lease(). This could
1401 result in leases changing state incorrectly or delaying the running of the
1402 leae expiration code.
1403 [ISC-Bugs #38002]
1404
1405- Move the check for a PID file and process to be before we rewrite the
1406 lease file. This avoids the possibility of starting a second instance
1407 of a server which changes the current lease file confusing the first
1408 instance. This check is only included if the admin hasn't disabled PID
1409 files.
1410 [ISC-Bugs #38078]
1411 [ISC-Bugs #38143]
1412
1413- In the client code change the way preferred_life and max_life are printed
1414 for environment variables to be unsigned rather than signed.
1415 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the bug report and patch.
1416 [ISC-Bugs #37084]
1417
1418- Modified Linux packet handling such that packets received via VLAN are now
1419 seen only by the VLAN interface. Prior to this, such packets were seen by
1420 both the VLAN interface and its parent (physical) interface, causing the
1421 server to respond to both. Note this remains an issue for non-Linux OSs.
1422 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the patch.
1423 [ISC-Bugs #37415]
1424 [ISC-Bugs #37133]
1425 [ISC-Bugs #36668]
1426 [ISC-Bugs #36652]
1427
1428- Log content has been changed to more directly suggest that admins should
1429 check for multiple IPv6 clients attempting to use the same DUID when only
1430 abandoned addresses are available. Debug level logging will now emit counts
1431 of the total number of, in-use, and abandoned addresses in a shared subnet
1432 when the server finds no addresses available for a given DUID. Lastly,
1433 threshold logging is now automatically disabled for shared subnets whose
1434 total number of possible addresses exceeds (2^64)-1.
1435 [ISC-Bugs #26376]
1436 [ISC-Bugs #38131]
1437
1438- Added a global parameter, prefix-length-mode, which may be used to determine
1439 how the server uses a non-zero value for prefix-length supplied by clients
1440 when soliciting DHCPv6 prefixes. The server supports selection modes of:
1441 ignore, prefer, exact, minimum and maximum which are described in detail in
1442 the server man pages. The prior behavior of the server was to only offer a
1443 prefix whose length exactly matched the prefix-length value requested. If
1444 no such prefixes were available, the server returned a status of none
1445 available. Note the default mode, "exact", provides this same behavior.
1446 [ISC-Bugs #36780]
1447 [ISC-Bugs #32228]
1448
1449- Corrected inconsistencies in dhcrelay's setting the upper interface hop count
1450 limit such that it now sets it to 32 when the upstream address is a multicast
1451 address per RFC 3315 Section 20. Prior to this if the -u argument preceded
1452 the -l argument on the command line or if the same interface was specified
1453 for both; the logic to set the hop limit count for the upper interface was
1454 skipped. This caused the hop count limit to be set to the default value
1455 (typically 1) in the outbound upstream packets.
1456 [ISC-Bugs #37426]
1457
1458 Changes since 4.3.1b1
1459
1460- Modify the linux and openwrt dhclient scripts to process information
1461 from a stateless request. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the

1557- Add a #define to specify the prefix length used when a client attempts
1558 to configure an address. This can be modified by editing includes/site.h.
1559 By default it is set to 64. While 128 might be a better choice it would
1560 also be a change for currently running systems, so we have left it at 64.
1561 [ISC-Bugs #DHCP-2]
9b7d458d 1562
0e76cb91
TM
1563- Add a run time option to the client "-df" to allow the administrator to
1564 point to a second lease file the client can search for a DUID. This can
1565 be used to allow a v4 and a v6 instance of the client to share a DUID.
1566 The second file will only be searched if there isn't a DUID in the main
1567 lease file and the DUID will be written out to the main lease file.

51b8a8a0
SR
1617
1618- If a client renews before 'dhcp-cache-threshold' percent of its lease
1619 has elapsed (default 25%), the server will reuse the allocated lease
1620 (provide a lease within the currently allocated lease-time) rather
1621 than extend or renew the lease. This absolves the server of needing
1622 to perform an fsync() operation on the lease database before reply,
1623 which improves performance. [ISC-Bugs #22228]
80778e94 1624 Updated this patch to support asynchronous DDNS. If the server is
adb95d23 1625 attempting to do DDNS on a lease it should be updated and written to
4809ef5c 1626 disk even if that wouldn't be necessary due to the thresholding.

1635 that use-sockets feature was not tested on those systems. Client and
1636 server code no longer use MAX_PATH constant that is not defined on

SR
1639- Add a perl script in the contrib directory, dhcp-lease-list.pl, which
1640 can parse v4 lease files and output the lease information in a more
1641 human friendly manner. This was written by Christian Hammers with
1642 some updates by vom and ISC. This is contributed code and is not
1643 supported by ISC; however it may be useful to some users.

1652- Update the DDNS code to current standards and allow for sharing
1653 of DDNS entries between v4 and v6 clients. The new code is used
1654 if the ddns-update-style is set to "standard", the older code is
1655 still available if ddns-update-style is set to "interim". The
1656 oldest DDNS code "ad-hoc" has been removed. Thanks to Thomas Pegeot

64fb661c 1659 [ISC-Bugs #21139]
1534fff7 1660
cde11a4c
SR
1661- Add a configuration option to the server to suppress using fsync().
1662 Enabling this option will mean that fsync() is never called. This
1663 may provide better performance but there is also a risk that a lease
1664 will not be properly written to the disk after it has been issued

1669- Add some logging statements to indicate when the server is ready
1670 to serve. One statement is emitted after the server has finished
1671 reading its files and is about to enter the dispatch loop.
1672 This is "Server starting service.".
1673 The second is emitted when a server determines that both it and
1674 its failover peer are in the normal state.
1675 This is "failover peer <name>: Both servers normal."

1678- Add support for accessing options from v6 relays. The v6relay
1679 statement allows the administrator to choose which relay to
1680 use when searching for an option, see the dhcp-options man page

e54ff84f 1686- When doing DDNS if there isn't an appropriate zone statement attempt
80778e94 1687 to find a reasonable nameserver via a DNS resolver. This restores
e54ff84f
SR
1688 some functionality that was lost in the transition to asynchronous
1689 DDNS. Due to the lack of security and increase in fragility of the
1690 system when using this feature we strongly recommend the use of
1691 appropriate zone statements rather than using this functionality.

SR
1694- Add support for specifying the address from which to send
1695 DDNS updates on the DHCP server. There are two new options
1696 "ddns-local-address4" and "ddns-local-address6" that each take
1697 one instance of their respective address types.

1700- Add ignore-client-uids option in the server. This option causes
1701 the server to not record a client's uid in its lease. This
1702 violates the specification but may also be useful when a client
1703 can dual boot using different client ids but the same mac address.

1725 is no longer truncated to one octet.

SR
1729- Manpage entries for the ia-pd and ia-prefix options were updated to
1730 reflect support for prefix delegation.

01a44a77 1732- Cleaned up some compiler warnings
7dc4e69c 1733
01a44a77
SR
1734- An optimization described in the failover protocol draft is now included,
1735 which permits a DHCP server operating in communications-interrupted state
1736 to 'rewind' a lease to the state most recently transmitted to its peer,
1737 greatly increasing a server's endurance in communications-interrupted.
1738 This is supported using a new 'rewind state' record on the dhcpd.leases
1739 entry for each lease.
c5bc8b1a 1740
01a44a77 1741- Fix the trace code which was broken by the changes to the DDNS code.
d0a10f6a 1742
01a44a77
SR
1743- Update the fsync code to work with the changes to the DDNS code. It now
1744 uses a timer instead of noticing if there are no more packets to process.
dc9d7b08 1745
01a44a77
SR
1746- When constructing the DNS name structure from a text string append
1747 the root to relative names. This satisfies a requirement in the DNS
1748 library that names be absolute instead of relative and prevents DHCP
1749 from crashing. [ISC-Bugs #21054]

01a44a77
SR
1751- "The LDAP Patch" that has been circulating for some time, written by
1752 Brian Masney and S.Kalyanasundraram and maintained for application to
1753 the DHCP-4 sources by David Cantrell has been included. Please be
1754 advised that these sources were contributed, and do not yet meet the
1755 high standards we place on production sources we include by default.
1756 As a result, the LDAP features are only included by using a compile-time
1757 option which defaults off, and if you enable it you do so under your
1758 own recognizance. We will be improving this software over time.

1764! Accept a client id of length 0 while hashing. Previously the server would
1765 exit if it attempted to hash a zero length client id, providing attackers

1771- Modify the exception handling for initial context creation. Previously
1772 we would try and clean up before exiting. This could present problems
1773 when the cleanup required part of the context that wasn't available. It
1774 also didn't do much as we exited afterwards anyway. Now we simply log
1775 the error and exit. [ISC-Bugs #21093]
ad4001ce 1776
01a44a77
SR
1777- A bug was fixed that could cause the DHCPv6 server to advertise/assign a
1778 previously allocated (active) lease to a client that has changed subnets,
1779 despite being on different shared networks. Dynamic prefixes specifically
1780 allocated in shared networks also now are not offered if the client has
1781 moved. [ISC-Bugs #21152]

1788- Modify the determination of the default TTL to use for DDNS updates.
1789 The user may still configure the ttl via ddns-ttl. The default for
1790 both v4 and v6 is now 1/2 the (preferred) lease time with a limit. The
1791 previous defaults (1/2 lease time without a limit for v4 and a default
1792 value for v6) may be used by defining USE_OLD_DDNS_TTL in site.h

2022- To defend against RFC 2131 non-compliant DHCP servers which fail to
2023 advertise a lease-time (either mangled, or zero in value) the DHCP
2024 client now adds the server to the reject list ACL and returns to INIT
2025 state to hopefully find an RFC 2131 compliant server (or retry in INIT

2260! Previously the server code was relaxed to allow packets with zero
2261 length client ids to be processed. Under some situations use of
2262 zero length client ids can cause the server to go into an infinite
2263 loop. As such ids are not valid according to RFC 2132 section 9.14
2264 the server no longer accepts them. Client ids with a length of 1
2265 are also invalid but the server still accepts them in order to
2266 minimize disruption. The restriction will likely be tightened in
2267 the future to disallow ids with a length of 1.

2430- Failover port configuration can now be left to defaults (port 647) as
2431 described in the -12 revision of the Failover draft (and assigned by
4b97eaff 2432 IANA). Thanks in part to a patch from David Cantrell at Red Hat.

2434- If configured, dhclient may now transmit to an anycast MAC address,
2435 rather than using a broadcast address. Thanks to a patch from David
2436 Cantrell at Red Hat.

PS
2441- Added client -D option to specify DUID type to send.
2442
9e3eb22a
DH
2443- A new failover configuration parameter has been introduced for those
2444 environments where DHCP servers can be reasonably guaranteed to be
2445 "down" when the failover TCP socket is severed, "auto-partner-down".
2446 This parameter is not generally safe, and by default is disabled, so
2447 please carefully review the documentation of this parameter in the
2448 dhcpd.conf(5) manpage before determining to use it yourself.
2449
33ea4622
DH
2450- Added a configuration function, 'gethostname()', which calls the system
2451 function of the same name and presents the results as a data expression.
2452 This function can be used to incorporate the system level hostname of
2453 the system the DHCP software is operating on in responses or queries (such
2454 as including a failover partner's hostname in a dhcp message or binding
2455 scope, or having a DHCP client send any system hostname in the host-name or
2456 FQDN options by default).
2457
5a671e87
DH
2458- The dhcp-renewal-time and dhcp-rebinding-time options may now be configured
2459 for DHCPv4 operation and used independently of the dhcp-lease-time
2460 calculations. Invalid renew and rebinding times (e.g., greater than the
2461 determined lease time) are omitted.
2462
adb95d23 2463- Processing the DHCP to DNS server transactions in an asynchronous fashion,
45adf35c 2464 the DHCP server or client can now continue with its processing while
98bf1607 2465 awaiting replies from the DNS server.
c900c5b2
DH
2466
2467- The 'hardware [ethernet|etc] ...;' parameter in host records has been
2468 extended to attempt to match DHCPv6 clients by the last octets of a
2469 DUID-LL or DUID-LLT provided by the client.

47e6eb82
DH
2477- The notorious 'option <unknown> ... larger than buffer' log line,
2478 which is seen in some malformed DHCP client packets, was modified.
2479 It now logs the universe name, and does not log the length values
2480 (which are bogus corruption read from the packet anyway). It also
2481 carries a hopefully more useful explanation.

2483- Suppress spurious warnings from configure about --datarootdir

2486 and Request packets, if the dynamic range covering any requested addresses
2487 had been deleted from configuration.

cd51403d
SR
2489- Update the code to deal with GCC 4.3. This included two sets of changes.
2490 The first is to the configuration files to include the use of
571c38b0 2491 AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS. The second is to deal with return values that

2506- Fixed a cosmetic bug where pretty-printing valid domain-search options would
2507 result in an erroneous error log message ('garbage in format string').
2508
f9453d21
DH
2509- A bug in DLPI packet transmission (Solaris, HP/UX) that caused the server
2510 to stop receiving packets is fixed. The same fix also means that the MAC
2511 address will no longer appear 'bogus' on DLPI-based systems.
2512
2513- A bug in select handling was discovered where the results of one select()
2514 call were discarded, causing the server to process the next select() call
2515 and use more system calls than required. This has been repaired - the
2516 sockets will be handled after the first return from select(), resulting in
2517 fewer system calls.
2518
a3dcc0b1
DH
2519- The update-conflict-detection feature would leave an FQDN updated without
2520 a DHCID (still currently implemented as a TXT RR). This would cause later
2521 expiration or release events to fail to remove the domain name. The feature
2522 now also inserts the client's up to date DHCID record, so records may safely
2523 be removed at expiration or release time. Thanks to a patch submitted by
2524 Christof Chen.
2525
95fd7038
DH
2526- Memory leak in the load_balance_mine() function is fixed. This would
2527 leak ~20-30 octets per DHCPDISCOVER packet while failover was in use
2528 and in normal state.
2529
2530- Various compilation fixes have been included for the memory related
2531 DEBUG #defines in includes/site.h.
2532

PS
2533- Fixed Linux client script 'unary operator expected' errors with DHCPv6.
2534

2536 to be double-quoted. Also allow server-provided hostname to
2537 override hostnames 'localhost' and '(none)'.

DH
2539- Fixed failover reconnection retry code to continue to retry to reconnect
2540 rather than restarting the listener.

DH
2542- Compilation on Solaris with USE_SOCKETS defined in includes/site.h has
2543 been repaired. Other USE_ overrides should work better.
2544
2545- A check for the local flavor of IFNAMSIZ had a broken 'else' condition,
2546 that probably still resulted in the correct behaviour (but wouldn't use
2547 a larger defined value provided by the host OS).
2548
350576c5
DH
2549- Fixed a bug where an OMAPI socket disconnection message would not result
2550 in scheduling a failover reconnection, if the link had not negotiated a
2551 failover connect yet (e.g.: connection refused, asynch socket connect()
2552 timeouts).

8a4e543b
DH
2557! A stack overflow vulnerability was fixed in dhclient that could allow
2558 remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands as root on the system,
2559 or simply terminate the client, by providing an over-long subnet-mask
1b12d999 2560 option. CERT VU#410676 - CVE-2009-0692

2565- Versions 3.0.x syntax with multiple name->code option definitions is now
2566 supported. Note that, similarly to 3.0.x, for by-code lookups only the
2567 last option definition is used.

PS
2569- Fixed a bug where a time difference of greater than 60 seconds between a
2570 failover pair could cause the primary to crash on contact with the
2571 secondary. Thanks to a patch from Steinar Haug.

PS
2573- Don't look for IPv6 interfaces on Linux when running in DHCPv4 mode.
2574 Thanks to patches from Matthew Newton and David Cantrell.

b8d45c67
DH
2576- Secondary servers in a failover pair will now perform ddns removals if
2577 they had performed ddns updates on a lease that is expiring, or was
2578 released through the primary. As part of the same fix, stale binding scopes
2579 will now be removed if a change in identity of a lease's active client is
2580 detected, rather than simply if a lease is noticed to have expired (which it
2581 may have expired without a failover server noticing in some situations).
2582
583c1c16
DH
2583- A patch supplied by David Cantrell at RedHat was applied that detects
2584 invalid calling parameters given to the ns_name_ntop() function.
2585 Specifically, it detects if the caller passed a pointer and size pair
2586 that causes the pointer to integer-wrap past zero.
2587
e4e3a2ab
DH
2588! Fixed a fenceposting bug when a client had two host records configured,
2589 one using 'uid' and the other using 'hardware ethernet'. CVE-2009-1892
95f5d38c 2590
875e99dc
SR
2591- Fixed the check in the dhcp_interface_signal_handler routine to verify
2592 the existence of the linked signal handler before calling it.
2593
2267da84
DH
2594- Both host and subnet6 configuration groups are now included whether a
2595 fixed-address6 (DHCPv6) is in use or not. Host scoped configuration takes
2596 precedence. This fixes two bugs, one where host scoped configuration
2597 would not be included from a non-fixed-address6 host record, and the equal
2598 and opposite bug where subnet6 scoped configuration would not be used when
571c38b0 2599 over-riding values were not present in a matching fixed-address6 host
2267da84

cd3f0b9b
DH
2602- ./configure now checks to ensure the intX_t and u_intX_t types are defined,
2603 correcting a compilation failure when using Sun's compiler.
2604
0493fdca
SR
2605- Modified the handling of a connection to avoid releasing the omapi io
2606 object for the connection while it is still in use. One symptom from
2607 this error was a segfault when a failover secondary attempted to connect
2608 to the failover primary if their clocks were not synchronized.
2609
95bba8b6
SR
2610- Clean up to allow compilation with gcc 2.95.4 on FreeBSD. Remove an
2611 extra semi-colon from common/dns.c and moved setting a variable to NULL
2612 in server/dhcpv6.c to allow the compiler to decide that the variable
9a111ee8 2613 was always properly set.

2632 and not by failover binding updates (taking on the peer's CLTT).

2639- Delayed-ack is now a compile-time option, compiled out by default.
2640 This feature is simply too experimental for right now, and causes
2641 some problems to some failover installations. We will revisit this
2642 in future releases.
2643

DH
2644- The !inet_pton() call in res_mkupdrec was adjusted to '<= 0' as
2645 inet_pton returns either 1, 0, or -1.

2650- DDNS removal routines were updated so that the DHCID is not removed until
2651 the client has been deprived of all A and AAAA records (not only the last
2652 one of either of those). This resolves a bug where dual stack clients
2653 would not be able to regain their names after either expiration event.

7d6180be
DH
2719- A bug in subnet6 parsing where options contained in subnet6 clauses would
2720 not be applied to clients addressed within that network was repaired.
2721
2722- When configuring a "subnet {}" or "subnet6 {}" without an explicit
2723 shared-network enclosing it, the DHCP software would synthesize a
2724 shared-network to contain the subnet. However, all configuration
2725 parameters within the subnet more intuitively belong "to any client
2726 on that interface", or rather the synthesized shared-network. So,
2727 when a shared-network is synthesized, it is used to contain the
2728 configuration present inside the subnet {} clause. This means that
2729 the configuration will be valid for all clients on that network, not
2730 just those addressed out of the stated subnet. If you intended the
2731 opposite, the workaround is to explicitly configure an empty
2732 shared-network.
2733
2734- A bug was fixed where Information-Request processing was not sourcing
2735 configured option values.
2736
2737- A warning was added since the DHCPv6 processing software does not yet
2738 support class statements.

2747

01a54c17
EH
2790- The dhclient-script was updated to create a host route for the default
2791 gateway if the supplied subnet mask for an IPv4 address was a /32. This
2792 allows the client to work in 'captive' network environments, where the
2793 operator does not want clients to crosstalk directly.
2794
adb95d23 2795- MINUS tokens should be parsable again.
01a54c17
EH
2796
2797- Multiple (up to "delayed-ack x;" maximum) DHCPv4 packets are now queued and
2798 released in bursts after single fsync() events when the upper limit is
2799 reached or if the receiving sockets go dry. The practical upshot is
2800 that fsync-coupled server performance is now multiplicitively increased.
2801 The default delayed ack limit is 28. Thanks entirely to a patch from
2802 Christof Chen.

2804 Changes since 4.0.0 (bug fixes)
2805
2806- DHCP now builds on AIX.
2807
2808- Exit with warning when DHCPv6-specific statements are used in the
2809 config file but -6 is not specified.
2810
2811- Fixed "--version" flag in dhcrelay
2812
2813- The 'min-secs' configuration parameter's log message has been updated to
2814 be more helpful.
2815
2816- The warning logged when an address range doesn't fit in the subnets
2817 they were declared has been updated to be more helpful and identify the
2818 typo in configuration that created the spanning addresses.
2819
2820- A bug in failover pool rebalancing that caused POOLREQ message ping-pongs
2821 was repaired.
2822
2823- A flaw in failover pool rebalancing that could cause POOLREQ messages to
2824 be sent outside of the min-balance/max-balance scheduled intervals has
2825 been repaired.
2826
2827- A cosmetic bug during potential-conflict recovery that caused the peer's
2828 'conflict-done' state message to be logged as 'unknown-state' has been
2829 repaired. It is now logged correctly.
2830
49f61135
DH
2831- A bug was fixed where the 'giaddr' may be used to find the client's subnet
2832 rather than its own 'ciaddr'.
2833
41d4652f
DH
2834- A log message was introduced to clarify the situation where a failover
2835 'address' parameter (the server's local address) did not resolve to an
2836 IPv4 address.
2837
2c9bf1f4
DH
2838- The minimum site code value was set to 224 in 3.1.0 to track RFC3942. This
2839 broke a lot of legacy site local configurations. The new code in place will
2840 track site local space minimum option codes and logs a warning to encourage
2841 updates and exploration of site local code migration problems. Option
2842 codes less than 128 in site local spaces remain inaccessible.
2843
2844- A possible relay agent option bug was repaired where random server
2845 initialization state may have been used to signal the relay agent
2846 information options sub-option code for the 'END' of the option space.
2847
cff9b78f
SK
2848- Fixes to allow code to compile and run on Solaris 9.
2849
c4d29896
SK
2850- Fixes to allow code to compile on Mac OS X Leopard (10.5).
2851
57fcb8d9
SK
2852- When server is configured with options that it overrides, a warning is
2853 issued when the configuration file is read, rather than at the time the
2854 option is overridden. This was important, because the warning was given
9a111ee8 2855 every time the option was overridden, which could create a lot of
57fcb8d9
SK
2856 unnecessary logging.
2857
219a65eb
DH
2858- Fixed a compilation problems on platforms that define a value for FDDI,
2859 which conflicts with a dhcp configuration syntax token by the same name.
2860
ffdf3c8c
DH
2861- When a failover server suspects it has encountered a peer running a
2862 version 3.0.x failover server, a warning that the failover wire protocol
2863 is incompatible is printed.
2864
2865- The failover server no longer issues a floating point error if it encounters
2866 a previously undefined option code.
2867
00a002fc
MA
2868- Fix startup error messages to report a missing "subnet6 declaration", rather
2869 than a missing "subnet declaration", when running as a DHCPv6 server.
2870
9a111ee8 2871- DHCPv6 client timestamp in DUID was based on the year 1970 rather
7e9f7a1b
FD
2872 than the year 2000.
2873
e2cfde76
FD
2874- Warn when attempting to use a hardware parameter in DHCPv6.
2875
cabdb9b1
FD
2876- DHCPv6 released resources are now marked as released by the client.
2877
5d89d60f
FD
2878- 'Soft' bindings have no more side-effects.
2879
61d75ea2
DH
2880 Changes since 4.0.0b3
2881
2882- The reverse dns name for PTR updates on IPv6 addresses has been fixed to
2883 use ip6.arpa. rather than default to in-addr.arpa and require user
2884 configuration.
76db44f9 2885
e32529a5
EH
2886- dhc6_lease_destroy() and dhc6_ia_destroy() now set lease and IA pointers
2887 to NULL after freeing, to prevent subsequent accesses to freed memory.
2888
9a111ee8 2889- The DHCPv6 server would not send the preference option unless the
76db44f9
SK
2890 client requested it, via the ORO. This has been fixed, so the DHCPv6
2891 server will always send the preference value if it is configured.
e4a6be15 2892
9a111ee8
TM
2893- When addresses were passed as hints to the server in an IA, they were
2894 incorrectly handled, sometimes being treated as an error. Now the
6f76de58
SK
2895 server will treat these as hints and ignore them if it cannot supply
2896 a requested address.
2897
703873ab
DH
2898- If the client had multiple addresses, and one expired (was not renewed
2899 by the server), the client would continue to attempt to renew the same
2900 old address over and over. Now, the client will omit any expired
2901 addresses from future Confirm, Renew, or Rebind messages.
2902
2903- dhclient -6 will now select renew/rebind timers based upon the longest
2904 address expiration time rather than the shortest expiration time, in
2905 order to avoid cascading renewals in the event a server elects not to
2906 extend one of multiple IAADDR leases.
2907
b024480e
DH
2908- The server now limits clients that request multiple addresses to one
2909 address per IA by default, which can be adjusted through the
2910 "limit-addrs-per-ia" configuration option.
2911
c0216cb7
DH
2912- The DHCPv6 client now issues fresh transaction IDs on Renew and Rebind
2913 message exchanges, rather than using the most recent ID.
2914
1ac57173
FD
2915- The DHCPv6 server now replies to Information-Request messages.
2916
83835822
DH
2917- A bug was fixed in the dhclient-script for BSDs to correctly carry error
2918 codes through some conditions.
2919
c54db708
FD
2920- The parsing of some options in the dhclient lease file, in particular
2921 the success DHCPv6 status-code, was fixed.
2922
e5d83524
DH
2923- A bug was fixed that caused the DHCPv6 ORO option to be corrupted with
2924 seemingly random values.
2925
821f2dda
DH
2926- A reference overleak in DHCPv6 shared network processing was repaired.
2927
f8b3c6f4
DH
2928- ./configure now autodetects local database locations rather than trying
2929 to put dhcpd.leases and dhclient.leases in /usr/local/var/db, which no
2930 one ever has.
2931
9a111ee8
TM
2932- Regression fix for bug where server advertised a IPv6 address in
2933 response to a SOLICIT but would not return the address in response
b9137d42
SK
2934 to a REQUEST.
2935
9f1d5a2f
DH
2936- A bug was fixed where the DHCPv6 server puts the NoAddrsAvail status
2937 code in the IA_NA was fixed. The status code now appears in the root
2938 level.
2939
e4a6be15
DH
2940 Changes since 4.0.0b2
2941
65cf86d7
EH
2942- Clarified error message when lease limit exceeded
2943
b1d3778c
DH
2944- Relative time may now be used as a qualifier for 'allow' and 'deny' access
2945 control lists. These directives may be used to assist in re-addressing
2946 address pools without having to constantly reconfigure the server. Please
2947 see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more information on allow/deny 'after time' syntax.
2948 Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen.
2949
bead14ea
DH
2950- The server will now include multiple IA_NA's and multiple IAADDRs within
2951 them, if advertised by the client. It still only seeks to allocate one
2952 new address.
2953
f765ec36
SK
2954 Changes since 4.0.0b1
2955
75135a3f 2956- Use different paths for PID and lease files when running in DHCPv4
adb95d23 2957 or DHCPv6 mode, so that servers for both protocols can be run
75135a3f
EH
2958 simultaneously on a single interface.
2959
5c2d55c7
EH
2960- Fixed a buffer overflow error which could have allowed a denial
2961 of service under unusual server configurations
2962
2963- Eliminated a spurious error message from the client
2964
9a111ee8 2965- A number of bugs with the internal handling of lease state on the
f765ec36 2966 server have been fixed. Some of these could cause server crashes.
fa9b593d 2967
edb1283e
DH
2968- The peer_wants_leases() changes pulled up from 3.1.0 were corrected,
2969 'never used' leases will no longer consistently shift between servers
2970 on every pool rebalance run.
2971
c71c6399
DH
2972- sendmsg()/recvmsg() control buffers are now declared in such a way to
2973 ensure they are correctly aligned on all (esp. 64-bit) architectures.
2974
5279b8f3
DH
2975- The client leasing subsystem was streamlined and corrected to account
2976 more closely for changes in client link attachment selection.
2977
ab3a540f 2978 Changes since 4.0.0a3
763cba6b 2979
9a111ee8 2980- The DHCP server no longer requires a "ddns-update-style" statement,
884a458f
SK
2981 and now defaults to "none", which means DNS updates are disabled.
2982
fa9b593d
DH
2983- Log messages when failover peer names mismatch have been improved to
2984 point out the problem.
2985
9a111ee8 2986- Bug where server advertised a IPv6 address in response to a SOLICIT
1b5053b5
SK
2987 but would not return the address in response to a REQUEST. Thanks to
2988 Dennis Kou for finding the bug.
2989
c886c298
SK
2990- Fixed an error causing the server to lock up on lease expiration,
2991 reported independently by Jothilingam Vasu and Dennis Kou.
2992
eaf7eb17
DH
2993- Fixed a ./configure bug where compile tests were failing due to
2994 "-Werror" (unused variable) rather than the actual test failure. Lead
2995 to inconsistent and unworkable auto-configurations.
2996
109e00db
DH
2997- Compilation with DLPI and -Werror has been repaired.
2998
9a111ee8 2999- Error in decoding IA_NA option if multiple interfaces are present
3ad9d48f
SK
3000 fixed by Marcus Goller.
3001
8eab95f2
DH
3002- DHCPv6 server Confirm message processing has been enhanced - it no
3003 longer replies only to clients with host {} records, it now replies
3004 as directed in RFC3315 section 18.2.2 - that is, to all clients
3005 regardless of the existence of bindings.
3006
07b9a351
DH
3007- A core dump during expired lease cleanup has been repaired.
3008
7285af30
DH
3009- DDNS updates state information are now stored in 'binding scopes' that
3010 follow the leases through their lifecycles. This enables DDNS teardowns
3011 on leases that are assigned and expired inbetween a server restart (the
3012 state is recovered from dhcpd.leases). Arbitrary user-specified binding
3013 scopes ('set var = "value";') are not yet supported.
3014
2394b26b
DH
3015- Additional compilation problems on HP/UX have been repaired.
3016
ab3a540f
SK
3017 Changes since 4.0.0a2
3018
97050349
SK
3019- Fix for startup where there are no IPv4 addresses on an interface.
3020 Thanks to Marcus Goller for reporting the bug.
3021
763cba6b 3022- Fixed file descriptor leak on listen failure. Thanks to Tom Clark.
e889ded1 3023
237f8d3a 3024- Bug in server configuration parser caused server to get stuck on
9a111ee8 3025 startup for certain bad pool declarations. Thanks to Guillaume
237f8d3a
SK
3026 Knispel for the bug report and fix.
3027
28868515
SK
3028- Code cleaned to remove warnings reported by "gcc -Wall".
3029
d00d373a
SK
3030- DHCPv6 is now the default. You can disable DHCPv6 support using the
3031 "--disable-dhcpv6" flag when you run the configure script.
3032
8dfd5744
DH
3033- An internal database inconsistency bug was repaired where the server
3034 would segfault if a client attempted to renew a lease that had been
3035 loaded from persistent storage.
3036
45d545f0 3037- 'request' and 'also request' syntaxes have been added to accommodate
0c20eab3
DH
3038 the DHCPv6 client configuration. 'send dhcp6.oro' is no longer
3039 necessary.
3040
9a111ee8
TM
3041- Bug fixed where configuration file parsing did not work with
3042 zero-length options; this made it impossible to set the
f800f4f6
SK
3043 rapid-commit option.
3044
845e9677
DH
3045- Bogus messages about host records with IPv4 fixed-addresses being of
3046 non-128-bits in length were removed.
3047
76c944da
SK
3048 Changes since 4.0.0a1
3049
71765b58
SK
3050- Bug in octal parsing fixed. Thanks to Bernd Fuhrmann for the report
3051 and fix.
3052
847e7000
SK
3053- Autoconf now supplies proper flags for Solaris DHCPv6 builds.
3054
bda33169
SK
3055- Fix for parsing error on some IPv6 addresses.
3056
9b21e73e
SK
3057- Invalid CIDR representation for IPv6 subnets or ranges now checked
3058 for when loading configuration.
3059
8da06bb1
DH
3060- Compilation on HP/UX has been repaired. The changes should generally
3061 apply to any architecture that supplies SIOCGLIFCONF but does not
3062 use 'struct lifconf' structures to pass values.
3063
dd328225
DH
3064- Two new operators, ~= and ~~, have been integrated to implement
3065 boolean matches by regular expression (such as may be used in
3066 class matching statements). Thanks to a patch by Alexandr S.
3067 Agranovsky, which underwent slight modification.
3068
76c944da
SK
3069- Fix for icmp packets on 64-bit systems (bug introduced in 4.0).
3070
f796f70a
DH
3071- A bug was fixed in interface discovery wherein an error identifying
3072 a server-configured interface with no IPv4 addresses would SEGV.
76c944da 3073
c11f349d
EH
3074- Fixed a bug in which write_lease() might report a failure incorrectly
3075
af5fa176
EH
3076- Added support for DHCPv6 Release messages
3077
3078- Added -x option to dhclient, which triggers dhclient processes
3079 to exit gracefully without releasing leases first
3080
a546f2a7
EH
3081- All binaries (client, server, relay) now change directories
3082 to / before going into daemon mode, so as not to hold $CWD open
3083
b55d0d5f
EH
3084- Fixed a bug parsing DHCPv6 client-id's in host-identifier statements
3085
26be82af
DH
3086- Fixed a bug with the 'ddns-updates' boolean server configuration
3087 parameter, which caused the server to fail.
3088
98bd7ca0
DH
3089 Changes since 4.0.0-20070413
3090
d9b43370
SK
3091- Old (expired) leases are now cleaned.
3092
8c1752d2
DH
3093- IPv6 subnets now have support for arbitrary allocation ranges via
3094 a new 'range6' configuration directive.
3095
98bd7ca0
DH
3096- An obviated option code hash lookup to find D6O_CLIENTID was removed.
3097
a512d11b
DH
3098- Corrected some situations where variables might be used without being
3099 initialized.
3100
3101- Silenced several other compiler warnings.
3102
3103- Include the more standard sys/uio.h rather than rely upon other
f66f02cc
DH
3104 header files to include it (fixes a BSD 4.2 compile failure).
3105
3106- Duplicate dhclient-script updates for DHCPv6 to all provided scripts.
a512d11b 3107
4ba58919
DH
3108- DHCPv4 I/O methods that failed to sense hardware address were corrected.
3109
3110- DHCPv4 is now the default (as documented) rather than DHCPv6. The default
3111 was set to DHCPv6 to facilitate ease early development, and forgotten.
3112
3113- Corrected a segmentation violation in DHCPv4 socket processing.
3114
8ea19a71 3115- dhclient will now fork() into the background once it binds to an
45d545f0 3116 IPv6 address, or immediately if the -n flag is supplied.
8ea19a71
DH
3117
3118- -q is now the default behaviour on dhclient, with -d or -v enabling
3119 non-quiet (stderr logging) mode.
3120
2cf8d0bd
DH
3121- Fix documentation of the domain-search atom (quoted, with commas).
3122
3123- Document DHCPv6 options presently in the default table.
3124
fe5b0fdd
DH
3125- Replaced ./configure shellscripting with GNU Autoconf.
3126
98bd7ca0
DH
3127 Changes since 3.1.0 (NEW FEATURES)
3128
3129- DHCPv6 Client and Server protocol support. Use '-6' to run the daemons
3130 as v6-only. Use '-4' to run the daemons as v4-only (default. There is
3131 no support currently for both.
3132
3133- Server support for multiple IA_NA options, containing at most one
3134 IAADDR option.
3135
3136- Client support for one IA_NA option, containing any number of IAADDR
3137 options.
3138
3139- Server support for the DHCPv6 Information-request message.
3140
3141- Inappropriate unicast DHCPv6 messages sent to the server are now
3142 discarded, and this has rearchitected the IO system slightly.
3143
3144- The DHCPv6 server DUID defaults to type 1, is persistently stored in
3145 the leases database, and can be over-ridden (either completely, or by
3146 specifying type 1 or type 2).
3147
3148- The server only uses Rapid-Commit if it has been configured with the
3149 Rapid-Commit option and the client requests it.
3150
3151- DDNS support. We now update AAAA records in the same place we would
3152 update A records, if we have an IPv6 address. We also generate IP6.ARPA
3153 style names for PTR records if we're dealing with an IPv6 address. Both
3154 A and AAAA updates are done using the same 'fqdn.' virtual option space
3155 (although the DHCPv4 FQDN and DHCPv6 FQDN options are formatted
3156 differently, they both use the same code here).
3157
3158- The Linux dhclient-script attempts to set and remove assigned addresses,
3159 and to configure /etc/resolv.conf from nameserver and domain name
3160 configurations. It can be extended to configure other parameters.
3161
3162- Initial DHCPv6 lease support.
3163
3164- The IO system now tracks all local IP addresses, so that the DHCP
3165 applications (particularly the dhcrelay) can discern between what frames
3166 were transmitted to it, and what frames are being carried through it which
3167 it should not intercept.
3168
1418fd11
DH
3169 Changes since 3.1.0 (Maintenance)
3170
3171- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for virgin leases always
3172 mapped to the primary. Virgin leases now have an interleaved preference
3173 between primary and secondary.
3174
3175- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for clients with no client
3176 identifier was sometimes mishashed to the peer. Load balancing during
3177 runtime and pool rebalancing were opposing.
3178
aa3e348e
DH
3179- An assertion in lease counting relating to reserved leases was repaired.
3180
e9c59645
DH
3181- The subnet-mask option inclusion now conforms with RFC2132 section 3.3;
3182 it will only appear prior to the routers option if it is present on the
3183 Parameter-Request-List. The subnet-mask option will also only be
3184 included by default (if it is not on the PRL) in response to DISCOVER
3185 or REQUEST messages.
3186
3187- The FQDN option is only supplied if the client supplied an FQDN option or
3188 if the FQDN option was explicitly requested on the PRL.
3189
c104546d
DH
3190- Dynamic BOOTP leases are now load balanced in failover.
3191
b9d0cc05
DH
3192 Changes since 3.1.0rc1
3193
adb95d23 3194- The parse warning that 'deny dynamic bootp;' must be configured for
b9d0cc05
DH
3195 failover protected subnets was removed.
3196
a512cc3a
DH
3197 Changes since 3.1.0b2
3198
3199- Failover rebalance events no longer play ping pong with round errors
3200 (moving leases between free and back to backup where there are an
3201 odd number of leases).
3202
3203- The 'pool' log line has been split into two messages, one before the
3204 rebalance run, and one after.
3205
3206- Any queued BNDACKs are transmitted before transmitting new BNDUPDs.
3207 This enforces the correct sequence of events for the remote server
3208 processing these messages.
3209
fe5b0fdd 3210 Changes since 3.1.0b1
27837f95 3211
74dc3e0b
EH
3212- Fixed a bug that caused OMAPI clients to freeze when opening lease
3213 objects.
3214
1ba87b37
EH
3215- A new server config option "fqdn-reply" specifies whether the server
3216 should send out option 81 (FQDN). Defaults to "on". If set to "off",
3217 the FQDN option is not sent, even if the client requested it. This is
3218 needed because some clients misbehave otherwise. Thanks to Christof Chen
3219 at Allianz.
3220
a58da042
EH
3221- Allow trace output files (-tf option) to be overwritten, rather than
3222 crashing dhcpd if the file already exists
3223
61252edf
EH
3224- A bug was fixed that caused dhcpd to segfault if a pool was declared
3225 outside the scope of a subnet in dhcpd.conf.
3226
27837f95
DH
3227- Some uninitialized values were repaired in dhcpleasequery.c that
3228 caused the server to abort.
3229

DH
3230- A new server config option, 'do-reverse-updates', has been added
3231 which causes the server to abstain from performing updates on PTR
3232 records. Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen at Allianz.
3233
06211b40
DH
3234- A bug was repaired in subencapsulation support, where spaces separated
3235 by empty spaces would not get included.
3236
d6614ea2
DH
3237- A bug in dhclient was repaired which caused it to send parameter request
3238 lists of 55 bytes in length no matter how long the declared PRL was.
3239
132d38f2
DH
3240- 'dhcp.c(3953): non-null pointer' has been repaired. This fixes a flaw
3241 wherein the DHCPv4 server may ignore a configured server-identifier.
3242
fc3b9c90
DH
3243- A flaw in failover startup sequences was repaired that sometimes left
3244 the primary DHCP server's pool rebalance schedules unscheduled.
3245
c9feb859
DH
3246- Corrected a flaw that broke encapsulated spaces included due to presence
3247 on the parameter request list.

3249 Changes since 3.1.0a3
3250
3251- Some spelling fixes.

DH
3253 Changes since 3.1.0a2
3254
3255- A bug was fixed where attempting to permit leasequeries results in a
3256 fatal internal error, "Unable to find server option 49".
3257
85edef5c
DH
3258- A bug was fixed in dhclient rendering the textual output form of the
3259 domain-search option syntax.
3260
bdddcb7d
DH
3261 Changes since 3.1.0a1
3262
3263- A bug in the FQDN universe that added FQDN codes to the NWIP universe's
3264 hash table was repaired.
3265
616d67cb
DH
3266- The servers now try harder to transmit pending binding updates when
3267 entering normal state.
3268
3269- UPDREQ/UPDREQALL handling was optimized - it no longer dequeues and
3270 requeues all pending updates. This should reduce the number of spurious
66c8f734
DH
3271 'xid mismatch' log messages.
3272
3273- An option definition referencing leak was fixed, which resulted in early
3274 termination of dhclient upon the renewal event.
616d67cb 3275
6708d944
DH
3276- Some default hash table sizes were tweaked, some upwards, some downwards.
3277 3.1.0a1's tables resulted in a reduction in default server memory use.
3278 The new selected values provide more of a zero sum (increasing the size
3279 of tables likely to be populated, decreasing the size of tables unlikely).
3280
45d545f0 3281- Lease structures appear in three separate hashes: by IP address, by UID,
6708d944
DH
3282 and by hardware address. One type of table was used for all three, and
3283 improvements to IP address hashing were applied to all three (so UID and
3284 hardware addresses were treated like 4-byte integers). There are now two
3285 types of tables, and the uid/hw hashes use functions more appropriate
3286 to their needs.
3287
3288- The max-lease-misbalance percentage no longer causes scheduled rebalance
3289 runs to be skipped: it still governs the schedule, but every scheduled
3290 run will attempt balance.
3291
a7ee93fe
DH
3292- A segfault bug in recursive encapsulation support has been corrected.
3293
98311e4b
DH
3294 Changes since 3.0 (New Features)
3295
3296- A workaround for certain STSN servers that send a mangled domain-name
3297 option was introduced for dhclient. The client will now accept corrupted
3298 server responses, if they contain a valid DHCP_MESSAGE_TYPE (OFFER, ACK,
3299 or NAK). The server will continue to not accept corrupt client packets.
3300
98bd7ca0 3301- Support for 'reserved' (pseudo-static) and BOOTP leases via failover
a55ccdd0 3302 was introduced.
98311e4b
DH
3303
3304- Support for adding, removing, and managing class and subclass statements
3305 via OMAPI.
3306
a55ccdd0
DH
3307- The failover implementation was updated to comply with revision 12 of
3308 the protocol draft.
3309
98311e4b
DH
3310- 'make install' now creates the initial zero-length dhcpd.leases file if
3311 one does not already exist on the system.
3312
b43c87ad 3313- RFC3942 compliance, site-local option spaces start at 224 now, not 128.
b43c87ad 3314
0b17f049
DH
3315- The Load Balance Algorithm was misimplemented. The current implementation
3316 matches RFC 3074.
3317
2727c1cf
DH
3318- lcase() and ucase() configuration expressions have been added which adjust
3319 their arguments from upper to lower and lower to upper cases respectively.
2714a8ef 3320 Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
2727c1cf 3321
febbd402
DH
3322- The dhclient 'reject ...;' statement, which rejects leases given by named
3323 server-identifiers, now permits address ranges to be specified in CIDR
7d7073e7 3324 notation. Thanks to a patch from David Boyce.
febbd402 3325
ee912528
DH
3326- The subnet-mask option is now supplied by default, but at lowest
3327 priority. This helps a small minority of clients that provide parameter
3328 request lists, but do not list the subnet-mask option because they were
3329 designed to interoperate with a server that behaves in this manner.
3330
3331- The FQDN option is similarly supplied even if it does not appear on the
3332 parameter request list, but not to the exclusion of options that do
3333 appear at the parameter request list. Up until now it had ultimate
3334 priority over the client's parameter request list.
3335
f7fdb216 3336- Varying option space code and length bit widths (8/16/32) are now
51202707 3337 supported. This is a milestone in achieving RFC 3925 "VIVSO" and
f7fdb216
DH
3338 DHCPv6 support.
3339
5e864416
DH
3340- A new common (server or client) option, 'db-time-format local;', has
3341 been added which prints the local time in /var/db/dhcpd.leases rather
3342 than UTC. Thanks to a patch from Ken Lalonde.
3343
b500bd4c
DH
3344- Some patches to improve DHCP Server startup speed from Andrew Matheson
3345 have been incorporated.
3346
2426234f
DH
3347- Failover pairs now implement 'MAC Affinity' on leases moving from the
3348 active to free states. Leases that belonged to the failover secondary
3349 are moved to BACKUP state rather than FREE upon exiting EXPIRED state.
3350 If lease rebalancing must move leases, it tries first to move leases
3351 that belong to the peer in need.
3352
3353- The server no longer sends POOLREQ messages unless the pool is severely
3354 misbalanced in the peer's favor (see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more details).
3355
3356- Pool rebalance events no longer happen upon successfully allocating a
3357 lease. Instead, they happen on a schedule. See 'man dhcpd.conf' for the
3358 min-balance and max-balance statements for more information.
3359
334bf491
DH
3360- The DHCP Relay Agent Information Option / Link Selection Sub-Option
3361 is now supported. (See RFC3527 for details).
3362
3004bebf
DH
3363- A new DDNS related server option, update-conflict-detection, has been
3364 added. If this option is enabled, dhcpd will perform normal DHCID
3365 conflict resolution (the default). If this option is disabled, it will
3366 instead trust the assigned name implicitly (removing any other bindings
3367 on that name). This option has not been made available in dhclient.
3368
567e8561
DH
3369- In those cases where the DHCP software manufactures an IP header (to
3370 transmit via bpf, lpf, etc), the IP TTL the software selects has been
3371 increased from 16 to 128. This is intended to match Microsoft Windows
3372 DHCP Client behaviour, to increase compatibility.
3373
a396d25f
DH
3374- 'ignore client-updates;' now has behaviour that is different from
3375 'deny client-updates;'. The client's request is not truly ignored,
3376 rather it is encouraged. Should this value be configured, the server
3377 updates DNS as though client-updates were set to 'deny'. That is, it
3378 enters into DNS whatever it is configured to do already, provided it is
3379 configured to. Then it sends a response to the client that lets the
3380 client believe it is performing client updates (which it will), probably
3381 for a different name. In essence, this lets the client do as it will,
3382 ignoring this aspect of their request.
3383
dba5803b
DH
3384- Support for compressed 'domain name list' style DHCP option contents, and
3385 in particular the domain search option (#119) was added.
3386
41e45067 3387- The DHCP LEASEQUERY protocol as defined in RFC4388 is now implemented.
6d103865
SK
3388 LEASEQUERY lets you query the DHCP server for information about a lease,
3389 using either an IP address, MAC address, or client identifier. Thanks
3390 to a patch from Justin Haddad.
3391
41e45067
DH
3392- DHCPD is now RFC2131 section 4.1 compliant (broadcast to all-ones ip and
3393 ethernet mac address) on the SCO platform specifically without any strange
3394 ifconfig hacks. Many thanks go to the Kroger Co. for donating the
3395 hardware and funding the development.
6d103865 3396
b543fea9
DH
3397- A new common configuration executable statement, execute(), has been
3398 added. This permits dhcpd or dhclient to execute a named external
3399 program with command line arguments specified from other configuration
3400 language. Thanks to a patch written by Mattias Ronnblom, gotten to us
3401 via Robin Breathe.
3402
b22de500
DH
3403- A new dhcp server option 'adaptive-lease-time-threshold' has been added
3404 which causes the server to substantially reduce lease-times if there are
3405 few (configured percentage) remaining leases. Thanks to a patch submitted
3406 from Christof Chen.
3407
96bbe8c5
SK
3408- Encapsulated option spaces within encapsulated option spaces is now
3409 formally supported.
3410
b8221d95
DH
3411 Changes since 3.0.6rc1
3412
3413- supersede_lease() now requeues leases in their respective hardware
3414 address hash bucket. This mirrors client identifier behaviour.
3415
c1e6c832
DH
3416 Changes since 3.0.5
3417
f546c28b
DH
3418- Assorted fixes for broken network devices: Packet length is now
3419 determined from the IP header length field to finally calculate the
3420 UDP payload length, because some NIC drivers return more data than
5a22eb63 3421 they actually received.
f546c28b
DH
3422
3423- UDP packets are now stored in aligned data structures.
3424
c1e6c832
DH
3425- A logic error in omapi interface code was repaired that might result in
3426 incorrectly indicating 'up' state when any flags were set, rather than
23e10d37
DH
3427 specifically the INTERFACE_REQUESTED flag. Thanks to a patch from
3428 Jochen Voss which got to us via Andrew Pollock at Debian.
c1e6c832 3429
75ab3070
DH
3430- A reference leak on binding scopes set by ddns updates was repaired.
3431
d69fb6a8 3432- A memory leak in the minires_nsendsigned() function call was repaired.
23e10d37 3433 Effectively, this leaked ~176 bytes per DDNS update.
d69fb6a8 3434
02428754
DH
3435- In the case where an "L2" DHCP Relay Agent (one that does not set giaddr)
3436 was directly attached to the same broadcast domain as the DHCP server,
3437 the RFC3046 relay agent information option was not being returned to the
3438 relay in the server's replies. This was fixed; the dhcp server no longer
3439 requires the giaddr to reply with relay agent information. Note that
3440 this also improves compatibility with L2 devices that "intercept" DHCP
3441 packets and expect relay agent information even in unicast (renewal)
23e10d37
DH
3442 replies. Thanks to a patch from Pekka Silvonen.
3443
3444- A bug was fixed where the BOOTP header 'sname' field had a value, the
3445 copy written to persistent storage was actually the contents of the
3446 'file' field.
02428754 3447
ecde99a3
DH
3448- A bug was fixed where the nwip virtual option space was referencing
3449 the fqdn option's virtual option space's option cache.
3450
67674ffb
DH
3451- Timestamp parsing errors that indicated missing "minutes" fields rather
3452 than the actually missing "seconds" fields have been repaired thanks to
3453 a patch from Kevin Steves.
3454
830ebc4c
DH
3455- A grammar error in the dhclient.8 manpage was repaired thanks to a patch
3456 from Chris Wagner.
3457
c759db75
DH
3458- Several spelling typos were repaired, and some cross-references to other
3459 relevant documents were included in the manpages, thanks to a patch
3460 by Andrew Pollock which got to us via Tomas Pospisek.
3461
9aa3f3a5
DH
3462- Some bugs were fixed in the 'emergency relay agent options hologram'
3463 which is used to retain relay agent option contents from when the
3464 client was in INIT or REBIND states. This should solve problems where
3465 relay agent options were not echoed from the server, even when giaddr
3466 was set.
3467
3d0c598a
DH
3468- dhclient now closes its descriptor to dhclient.leases prior to executing
3469 dhclient-script. Thanks to a patch from Tomas Pospisek.
3470
d5b6835f
DH
3471- The server's "by client-id" and "by hardware address" hash table lists
3472 are now sorted according to the preference to re-allocate that lease to
3473 returning clients. This should eliminate pool starvation problems
3474 arising when "INIT" clients were given new leases rather than presently
3475 active ones.
3476
02428754 3477 Changes since 3.0.5rc1
0a73b7b6 3478
901306d5 3479- A bug was repaired in fixes to the dhclient, which sought to run the
0a73b7b6
SK
3480 dhclient-script with the 'EXPIRE' state should it receive a NAK in
3481 response to a REQUEST. The client now iterates the PREINIT state
3482 after the EXPIRE state, so that interfaces that might be configured
3483 'down' can be brought back 'up' and initialized.
3484
87a08ccc
DH
3485- DHCPINFORM handling for clients that properly set ciaddr and come to the
3486 server via a relay aget has been repaired.
3487
6da113fb
DH
3488 Changes since 3.0.4
3489
3490- A warning that host statements declared within subnet or shared-network
3491 scopes are actually global has been added.
3492
3493- The default minimum lease time (if min-lease-time was not specified)
3494 was raised from 0 to 300. 0 is not thought to be sensible, and is
3495 known to be damaging.
3496
3497- Added additional fatal error sanity checks surrounding lease binding
3498 state count calculations (free/active counts used for failover pool
3499 balancing).
3500
dcc557db
DH
3501- Some time value size fixes in 3.0.4 brought on from FreeBSD /usr/ports were
3502 misapplied to server values rather than client values. The server no longer
3503 advertises 8-byte lease-time options when on 64-bit platforms.
3504
1b2ab55f
DH
3505- A bug where leases not in ACTIVE state would get billed to billed classes
3506 (classes with lease limitations) was fixed. Non-active leases OFFERed
3507 to clients are no longer billed (but billing is checked before offering).
3508
e48891e8
DH
3509- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated in regard to the ddns-domainname
3510 configuration option - the default configuration and results should be
3511 more clear now.
3512
6cbc6629
DH
3513- If the dhclient were to receive a DHCPNAK while it was in the RENEW
3514 state (and consequently, had an active, 'bound' address and related
3515 configuration options), it would fail to 'tear down' this information
3516 before proceeding into INIT state. dhclient now iterates the dhclient-
3517 script with the 'EXPIRE' action to cause these teardowns prior to entering
1d3bfb17 3518 INIT state. Thanks to a patch from Chris Zimmerman.
6cbc6629 3519
c5fec5fa
DH
3520- The omapi.1 manpage had some formatting errors repaired thanks to a patch
3521 from Yoshihiko Sarumaru.
3522
33e1cb2b
DH
3523- A few lines of code that were failover-specific were moved within
3524 #if defined() clauses so that compilation without failover could be
3525 made possible.
3526
2bddf829
DH
3527- The log message emitted when the 'leased-address' value was not available
3528 in dhcpd.conf "executable statements" has been updated to be more helpful.
3529 Manpage information for this value has also been updated.
3530
87578987
DH
3531- Abandoned or dissociated (err condition) leases now remove any related
3532 dynamic dns bindings. Thanks to a patch from Patrick Schoo.
3533
e77c575f
DH
3534- Attempting to write a new lease file to replace a corrupt (due to
3535 encountering non-retryable errors during writing) lease file should
3536 no longer result in an infinite recursion.
3537
2178df03
DH
3538- Host declaration hardware addresses and client identifiers may only be
3539 configured once. dhcpd will now fail to load config files that specify
3540 multiple identifiers (previous versions would silently over-ride the
3541 value with the later configured value).
3542
d5341d9b
SK
3543- Several option codes that have been allocated since our last release
3544 have been named and documented.
3545
3546- Option names of the form "unknown-123" have been removed from the in-
3547 memory hash tables. In order to support options of these names that
3548 may appear in dhclient.leases or similar in previous versions, the
3549 parser will now find the new option code definition, or mock up a
3550 generic option code definition. This should result in a smooth
3551 transition from one name to the other, as the new name is used to
3552 write new output.
3553
6da113fb
DH
3554 Changes since 3.0.4rc1
3555
3556- The dhcp-options.5 manpage was updated to correct indentation errors
3557 thanks to a patch from Jean Delvare.
3558
3559 Changes since 3.0.4b3
3560
3561- Some manual pages were clarified pursuant to discussion on the dhcp-server
3562 mailing list.
3563
88cd8aca
DH
3564 Changes since 3.0.4b2
3565
45d545f0 3566- Null-termination sensing for certain clients that unfortunately require
88cd8aca
DH
3567 it in DHCPINFORM processing was repaired.
3568
3569- The host-name option and a few others were moved from "X" format to "t"
3570 format to be compatible with new NULL handling functions.
3571
3572- DHCPINFORM processing is a little more careful about return addressing
3573 its responses, or if responding via a relay. The INFORM related
3574 messages also log the 'effective client ip address' rather than the
3575 client's supplied ciaddr (since some clients produce null ciaddrs).
3576
3577- The server was inappropriately sending leases to the RESET state in the
3578 event that multiple active leases were found to match a singly-identified
3579 client. This was changed to RELEASED (by accepting a different, ACTIVE
3580 binding, the client is implicitly releasing its lease). This repairs a
3581 bug wherein secondary servers in failover pairs detecting this condition
3582 move leases to RESET, and primaries refuse to accept that state
3583 transition (properly).
3584
3585- The memset-after-dmalloc() changes made in 3.0.4b1 have been backed out.
3586
3587 Changes since 3.0.4b1
3588
3589- Command line parsing in omshell was repaired - it no longer closes
3590 STDIN after reading one line.
3591
3592- The resolver library no longer closes the /etc/resolv.conf file
3593 descriptor it opened twice.
3594
3595- Changes to trailing NULL removal in 't' option-atoms has been rethought,
3596 it now includes 'd' (domain name) types, and tries hard not to rewind an
3597 option beyond the start of the text field it is un-terminating.
3598
3599 Changes since 3.0.3
3600
3601- A DDNS update handling function was misusing the DNS error codes, rather
3602 than the internal generic result enumeration. The result is a confusing
3603 syslog line, logging the wrong condition.
3604
3605- The DHCP Server was not checking pool balance in the case where it brought
3606 a non-ACTIVE lease out of storage for a client that was returning to use
3607 a lease it once had long ago, and had since expired.
3608
3609- Failover peers no longer bother to look for free leases to allocate when
3610 they already found the client's ACTIVE lease. DISCOVERs are load balanced
98bd7ca0 3611 whether freely-allocated or not, unless the server doubts the peer has
88cd8aca
DH
3612 leases to allocate.
3613
3614- Fixed a bug in dhcrelay agent addition code that suppressed trailing
45d545f0 3615 PAD options - it was suppressing only one trailing PAD option, rather
88cd8aca
DH
3616 than the entire block of them.
3617
3a16098f
DH
3618! Fixed some unlikely overlapping-region memcpy() bugs in dhcrelay agent
3619 option addition and stripping code. Added a few sanity checks. Although
3620 highly improbable, due to requiring the reception of a DHCP datagram well
3621 in excess of all known to be used physical MTU limitations, it is possible
3622 this may have been used in a stack overflow security vulnerability. Thanks
3623 to a patch from infamous42md.
3624
3625! Added some sanity checks to OMAPI connection/authentication code.
3626 Although highly improbable, due to having to deliver in excess of 2^32
3627 bytes of data via the OMAPI channel, not to mention requiring dhcpd to
3628 be able to malloc() a memory region 2^32 bytes in size, it was possible
3629 this might have resulted in a heap overflow security vulnerability.
3630 Thanks to a patch from infamous42md.
88cd8aca
DH
3631
3632- dmalloc() memset()'s the non-debug (data) portion of the allocated
3633 memory to zero. Code that memset()'s the result returned by dmalloc() to
3634 zero is redundant. These redundancies were removed.
3635
3636- Some type declaration corrections to u_int16_t were made in common/tr.c
4b97eaff 3637 (Token Ring support) thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
88cd8aca
DH
3638
3639- A failover bug that was allowing leases that EXPIRED or were RELEASED
3640 where tsfp and tstp are identical timestamps to languish in these
3641 transitional states has been repaired. As a side effect, lease
3642 databases should be kept more consistent overall, not just for these
3643 transitional states.
3644
3645- If the lease db is deleted out from under the daemon, and it moves to rewrite
3646 the db, it will go ahead with the operation and move the new db into place
3647 once it detects the old db does not exist.

3649- dhclient now ignores IRDA, SIT, and IEEE1394 network interfaces, as it
3650 is either nonsensical or (in the case of IEEE1394) is not known to support
3651 these interfaces. Thanks to Marius Gedminas and Andrew Pollock of Debian.
3652
3653- Some previously undocumented reasons for dhclient-script invoking has
45d545f0 3654 been documented in the dhclient-script.8 manpage.

3655
3656- Failover potential expiry calculations (TSTP) have been corrected. Results
3657 should be substantially more consistent, and proper given the constraints.
3658
3659- Adjusted lease state validation checks in potential-conflict, to
3660 account for possible clock skew similarly to normal state, and several
3661 previously illegal transitions were made legal (ex: active->released).
3662
3663- An impossible sanity check was removed from omapi/buffer.c, thanks to a
3664 patch from 'infamous42md'.
3665
3666- An OMAPI host/network byte order problem in lease time values has been
3667 repaired.
3668
3669- Several minor bugs, largely relating to treating 8-byte time values as
3670 4-byte entities, have been repaired after careful review of the FreeBSD
3671 ports collection's patch set. Thanks to the nameless entities who have
3672 contributed to the FreeBSD ports.
3673
3674- When writing a trace file, the file is now created with permissions 0600,
3675 to help administrators avoid accidentally publicising sensitive config
3676 data.
3677
3678- The calculation of the maximum size of DHCP packets no longer includes
3679 Ethernet framing overhead. The result is that the 'Maximum Message
3680 Size' option advertised by clients, or the default value 576, is no
3681 longer reduced by 14 bytes, and instead directly reflects the IP level
3682 MTU (and the default, minimum allowed IP MTU of 576).
3683
3684- The special status of RELEASED/EXPIRED/RESET leases when a server
3685 is operating in partner-down was fixed. It no longer requires a
3686 lease be twice the MCLT beyond STOS to 'reallocate', and the expiry
3687 event to turn these into FREE leases without peer acknowledgement
3688 (after STOS+MCLT) has been repaired.
3689
3690- Compilation on older Solaris systems (lacking /usr/include/sys/int_types.h)
3691 has been repaired.
3692
3693- "append"ing a string onto the end of a "t" type option (such as the
3694 domain-name field) that had been improperly NULL-terminated by the
3695 DHCP server will no longer result in a truncated string containing
3696 only the option from the server, and not the expected appended value.
4b97eaff 3697 Thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
88cd8aca
DH
3698
3699- File handlers on configuration state (config files and lease dbs) should
98bd7ca0 3700 be treated consistently, regardless of whether TRACING is defined or not.
88cd8aca 3701
45d545f0 3702- The Linux build environment has had some minor improvements - better
88cd8aca
DH
3703 sensing of 64-bit pointer sizes (only used for establishing an icmp_id),
3704 and corrections to #if operators regarding LINUX_MAJOR should it ever
3705 move to 3.[01].x.
3706
3707- The server now tries harder to survive the condition where it is unable
3708 to open a new lease file to rewrite the lease state database.

3710 Changes since 3.0.3b3
3711
3712- dhclient.conf documentation for interface {} was updated to reflect recent
3713 discussion on the dhcp-hackers mailing list.
3714
3715- In response to reports that the software does not compile on GCC 4.0.0,
3716 -Werror was removed from Makefile.conf for all platforms that used it.
3717 We will address the true problem in a future release; this is a temporary
3718 workaround.
3719
3720 Changes since 3.0.3b2
3721
3722- An error in code changes introduced in 3.0.3b2 was corrected, which caused
3723 static BOOTP clients to receive random addresses.
3724
3725 Changes since 3.0.3b1
3726
3727- A bug was fixed in BOOTPREQUEST handling code wherein stale references to
3728 host records would be left behind on leases that were not allocated to the
3729 client currently booting (eg in the case where the host was denied booting).
3730
3731- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated to be more clear in regards to
3732 multiple host declarations (thanks to Vincent McIntyre). 'Interim' style
3733 dynamic updates were also retouched.
3734
98311e4b
DH
3735 Changes since 3.0.2
3736
3737- A bug was fixed where a server might load balance a DHCP REQUEST to its
45d545f0 3738 peer after already choosing not to load balance the preceding DISCOVER.
98311e4b
DH
3739 The peer cannot allocate the originating server's lease.
3740
3741- In the case where a secondary server lost its stable storage while the
3742 primary was still in communications-interrupted, and came back online,
3743 the lease databases would not be fully transferred to the secondary.
3744 This was due to the secondary errantly sending an extra UPDREQ message
3745 when the primary made its state transition to PARTNER-DOWN known.
3746
3747- The package will now compile cleanly in gcc 3.3 and 3.4. As a side effect,
3748 lease structures will be 9 bytes smaller on all platforms. Thanks to
4b97eaff 3749 Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3750
3751- Interface discovery code in DISCOVER_UNCONFIGURED mode is now
3752 properly restricted to only detecting broadcast interfaces. Thanks
4b97eaff 3753 to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3754
3755- decode_udp_ip_header was changed so that the IP address was copied out
3756 to a variable, rather than referenced by a pointer. This enforces 4-byte
3757 alignment of the 32-bit IP address value. Thanks to a patch from Dr.
3758 Peter Poeml.
3759
3760- An incorrect log message was corrected thanks to a patch from
3761 Dr. Peter Poeml.
3762
3763- A bug in DDNS was repaired, where if the server's first DDNS action was
3764 a DDNS removal rather than a DDNS update, the resolver library's
3765 retransmit timer and retry timer was set to the default, implying a
3766 15 second timeout interval. Which is a little excessive in a synchronous,
3767 single-threaded system. In all cases, ISC DHCP should now hold fast to
3768 a 1-second timeout, trying only once.
3769
3770- The siaddr field was being improperly set to the server-identifier when
3771 responding to DHCP messages. RFC2131 clarified the siaddr field as
3772 meaning the 'next server in the bootstrap process', eg a tftp server.
3773 The siaddr field is now left zeroed unless next-server is configured.
3774
3775- mockup_lease() could have returned in an error condition (or in the
3776 condition where no fixed-address was found matching the shared
3777 network) with stale references to a host record. This is probably not
3778 a memory leak since host records generally never die anyway.
3779
3780- A bug was repaired where failover servers would let stale client identifiers
3781 persist on leases that were reallocated to new clients not sending an id.
3782
3783- Binding scopes ("set var = value;") are now removed from leases allocated
3784 by failover peers if the lease had expired. This should help reduce the
3785 number of stale binding scopes on leases.
3786
3787- A small memory leak was closed involving client identifiers larger than
3788 7 bytes, and failover.
3789
3790- Configuring a subnet in dhcpd.conf with a subnet mask of 32 bits might
3791 cause an internal function to overflow heap. Thanks to Jason Vas Dias
4b97eaff 3792 at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3793
3794- Some inconsistencies in treating numbers that the lexer parsed as 'NUMBER'
3795 or 'NUMBER_OR_NAME' was repaired. Hexadecimal parsing is affected, and
3796 should work better.
3797
3798- In several cases, parse warnings were being issued before the lexical
3799 token had been advanced to the token whose value was causing an error...
3800 causing parse warnings to claim the problem is on the wrong token.
3801
3802- Host declarations matching on client identifier for dynamic leases will
3803 no longer match fixed-address host declarations (this is now identical
3804 to behaviour for host records matching on hardware address).
3805
3806 Changes since 3.0.2rc3
3807
3808- A previously undocumented configuration directive, 'local-address',
3809 was documented in the dhcpd.conf manpage.
3810
3811 Changes since 3.0.2rc2
3812
45d545f0 3813- Two variables introduced in 3.0.2b1 were used without being initialized
98311e4b
DH
3814 in the case where neither the FILE nor SNAME fields were available for
3815 overloading. This was repaired.
3816
3817- A heretofore believed to be impossible corner case of the option
3818 overloading implementation turned out to be possible ("Unable to sort
3819 overloaded options after 10 tries."). The implementation was reworked
3820 to consider the case of an option so large it would require more than
3821 three chunks to fit.
3822
3823- Many other instances of variables being used without being initialized
3824 were repaired.
3825
3826- An uninitialized variable in omapi_io_destroy() led to the discovery
3827 that this function may result in orphaned pointers (and hence, a memory
3828 leak).
3829
3830 Changes since 3.0.2rc1
3831
3832- allocate_lease() was rewritten to repair a bug in which the server would
3833 try to allocate an ABANDONED lease when FREE leases were available.
3834
3835 Changes since 3.0.2b1
3836
3837- Some dhcp-eval.5 manpage formatting was repaired.
3838
3839 Changes since 3.0.1
3840
3841- A bug was fixed in the server's 'option overloading' implementation,
3842 where options loaded into the 'file' and 'sname' packet fields were
3843 not aligned precisely as rfc2131 dictates.
3844
3845- The FreeBSD client script was changed to support the case where a domain
3846 name was not provided by the server.
3847
3848- A memory leak in 'omshell' per each command line parsed was
3849 repaired, thanks to a patch from Jarkko Torppa.
3850
3851- Log functions writing to stderr were adjusted to use the STDERR_FILENO
3852 system definition rather than '2'. This is a no-op for 90% of platforms.
3853
3854- One call to trace_write_packet_iov() counted the number of io vectors
3855 incorrectly, causing inconsistent tracefiles. This was fixed.
3856
3857- Some expression parse failure memory leaks were closed.
3858
3859- A host byte order problem in tracefiles was repaired.
3860
3861- Pools configured in DHCPD for failover possessing permission lists that
adb95d23 3862 previously were assumed to not include dynamic bootp clients are now
98311e4b
DH
3863 a little more pessimistic. The result is, dhcpd will nag you about just
3864 about most pools that possess a 'allow' statement with no 'deny' that
3865 would definitely match a dynamic bootp client.
3866
3867- The 'ddns-update-style' configuration warning bit now insists that
3868 the configuration be globally scoped.
3869
3870- Two memory leaks in dhclient were closed thanks to a patch from Felix
3871 Farkas.
3872
3873- Some minor but excellently pedantic documentation errors were fixed
3874 thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
3875
3876- Bugs in operator precedence in executable statements have been repaired
3877 once again. More legal syntaxes should be parsed legally.
3878
3879- Failing to initialize a tracefile for any reason if a tracefile was
3880 specified is now a fatal error. Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
3881
3882- Corrected a bug in which the number of leases transferred as calculated
3883 by the failover primary and sent to peers in POOLRESP responses may be
3884 incorrect. This value is not believed to be used by other failover
3885 implementations, excepting perhaps as logged information.
3886
3887- Corrected a bug in which 'dhcp_failover_send_poolresp()' was in fact
3888 sending POOLREQ messages instead of POOLRESP mesasges. This message
3889 was essentially ignored since failover secondaries effectively do not
3890 respond to POOLREQ messages.
3891
3892- Type definitions for various bitwidths of integers in the sunos5-5
3893 build of ISC DHCP have been fixed. It should compile and run more
3894 easily when built in 64-bit for this platform.
3895
3896- "allow known-clients;" is now a legal syntax, to avoid confusion.
3897
3898- If one dhcp server chooses to 'load balance' a request to its failover
3899 peer, it first checks to see if it believes said peer has a free
3900 lease to allocate before ignoring the DISCOVER.
3901
3902- log() was logging a work buffer, rather than the value returned by
3903 executing the statements configured by the user. In some cases,
3904 the work buffer and the intended results were the same. In some other
3905 cases, they were not. This was fixed thanks to a patch from Gunnar
3906 Fjone and directconnect.no.
3907
3908- Compiler warnings for some string type conversions was fixed, thanks
3909 to Andreas Gustafsson.
3910
3911- The netbsd build environments were simplified to one, in which
3912 -Wconversion is not used, thanks to Andreas Gustafsson.
3913
3914- How randomness in the backoff-cutoff dhclient configuration variable
3915 is implemented was better documented in the manpage, and the behaviour
3916 of dhclient in REQUEST timeout handling was changed to match that of
3917 DISCOVER timeout handling.
3918
3919- Omapi was hardened against clients that pass in null values, thanks
3920 to a patch from Mark Jason Dominus.
3921
3922- A bug was fixed in dhclient that kept it from doing client-side
3923 ddns updates. Thanks to a patch from Andreas Gustafsson, which
3924 underwent some modification after review by Jason Vas Dias.
3925
3926- Failover implementations disconnected due to the network between
3927 them (rather than one of the two shutting down) will now try to
3928 re-establish the failover connection every 5 seconds, rather than
3929 to simply try once and give up until one of them is restarted.
3930 Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from Infoblox, and field testing
3931 by Greger V. Teigre which led to an enhancement to it.
3932
3933- A problem that kept DHCP Failover secondaries from tearing down
3934 ddns records was repaired. Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from
3935 Infoblox.
3936
3937- 64bit pointer sizes are detected properly on FreeBSD now.
3938
3939- A bug was repaired where the DHCP server would leave stale references
3940 to host records on leases it once thought about offering to certain
3941 clients. The result would be to apply host and 'known' scopes to the
3942 wrong clients (possibly denying booting). NOTE: The 'mis-host' patch
3943 that was being circulated as a workaround is not the way this bug was
3944 fixed. If you were a victim of this bug in 3.0.1, you are cautioned
3945 to proceed carefully and see if it fixes your problem.
3946
3947- A bug was repaired in the server's DHCPINFORM handling, where it
3948 tried to divine the client's address from the source packet and
3949 would get it wrong. Thanks to Anshuman Singh Rawat.
3950
3951- A log message was introduced to help illuminate the case where the
3952 server was unable to find a lease to assign to any BOOTP client.
3953 Thanks to Daniel Baker.
3954
3955- A minor dhcpd.conf.5 manpage error was fixed.
3956
3957 Changes since 3.0.1rc14
3958
3959- The global variable 'cur_time' was centralized and is now uniformly of a
3960 type #defined in system-dependent headers. It had previously been defined
3961 in one of many places as a 32-bit value, and this causes mayhem on 64-bit
3962 big endian systems. It probably wasn't too healthy on little endian
3963 systems either.
3964
3965- A printf format string error introduced in rc14 was repaired.
3966
3967- AIX system-dependent header file was altered to only define NO_SNPRINTF
3968 if the condition used to #ifdef in vsnprintf in AIX' header files
3969 is false.
3970
3971- The Alpha/OSF system-dependent header file was altered to define
3972 NO_SNPRINTF on OS revisions older than 4.0G.
3973
3974- omapip/test.c had string.h added to its includes.
3975
3976 Changes since 3.0.1rc13
3977
3978! CAN-2004-0460 - CERT VU#317350: Five stack overflow exploits were closed
3979 in logging messages with excessively long hostnames provided by the
3980 clients. It is highly probable that these could have been used by
3981 attackers to gain arbitrary root access on systems using ISC DHCP 3.0.1
3982 release candidates 12 or 13. Special thanks to Gregory Duchemin for
3983 both finding and solving the problem.
3984
3985! CAN-2004-0461 - CERT VU#654390: Once the above was closed, an opening
45d545f0 3986 in log_*() functions was evidenced, on some specific platforms where
98311e4b
DH
3987 vsnprintf() was not believed to be available and calls were wrapped to
3988 sprintf() instead. Again, credit goes to Gregory Duchemin for finding
3989 the problem. Calls to snprintf() are now linked to a distribution-local
3990 snprintf implementation, only in those cases where the architecture is
3991 not known to provide one (see includes/cf/[arch].h). If you experience
3992 linking problems with snprintf/vsnprintf or 'isc_print_' functions, this
3993 is where to look. This vulnerability did not exist in any previously
3994 published version of ISC DHCP.
3995
3996- Compilation on hpux 11.11 was repaired.
3997
3998- 'The cross-compile bug fix' was backed out.
3999
4000 Changes since 3.0.1rc12
4001
4002- Fixed a bug in omapi lease lookup function, to form the hardware
4003 address for the hash lookup correctly, thanks to a patch from
4004 Richard Hirst.
4005
4006- Fixed a bug where dhcrelay was sending relayed responses back to the
4007 broadcast address, but with the source's unicast mac address. Should
4008 now conform to rfc2131 section 4.1.
4009
4010- Cross-compile bug fix; use $(AR) instead of ar. Thanks to Morten Brorup.
4011
4012- Fixed a crash bug in dhclient where dhcpd servers that do not provide
4013 renewal times results in an FPE. As a side effect, dhclient can now
4014 properly handle 0xFFFFFFFF (-1) expiry times supplied by servers. Thanks
4015 to a patch from Burt Silverman.
4016
4017- The 'ping timeout' debugs from rc12 were removed to -DDEBUG only,
45d545f0 4018 and reformatted to correct a compilation error on Solaris platforms.
98311e4b
DH
4019
4020- A patch was applied which fixes a case where leases read from the
4021 leases database do not properly over-ride previously read leases.
4022
4023- dhcpctl.3 manpage was tweaked.
4024
4025 Changes since 3.0.1rc11
4026
4027- A patch from Steve Campbell was applied with minor modifications to
4028 permit reverse dns PTR record updates with values containing spaces.
4029
4030- A patch from Florian Lohoff was applied with some modifications to
4031 dhcrelay. It now discards packets whose hop count exceeds 10 by default,
4032 and a command-line option (-c) can be used to set this threshold.
4033
4034- A failover bug relating to identifying peers by name length instead of
4035 by name was fixed.
4036
45d545f0 4037- Declaring failover configs within shared-network statements should no
98311e4b
DH
4038 longer result in error.
4039
4040- The -nw command line option to dhclient now works.
4041
4042- Thanks to a patch from Michael Richardson:
4043 - Some problems with long option processing have been fixed.
4044 - Some fixes to minires so that updates of KEY records will work.
4045
4046- contrib/ms2isc was updated by Shu-Min Chang of the Intel Corporation.
4047 see contrib/ms2isc/readme.txt for revision notes.
4048
4049- Dhclient no longer uses shell commands to kill another instance of
4050 itself, it sends the signal directly. Thanks to a patch from Martin
4051 Blapp.
4052
4053- The FreeBSD dhclient-script was changed so that a failure to write to
4054 /etc/resolv.conf does not prematurely end the script. This keeps dhclient
4055 from looping infinitely when this is the case. Thanks to a patch from
4056 Martin Blapp.
4057
4058- A patch from Bill Stephens was applied which resolves a problem with lease
4059 expiry times in failover configurations.
4060
4061- A memory leak in configuration parsing was closed thanks to a patch from
4062 Steve G.
4063
4064- The function which discovers interfaces will now skip non-broadcast or
4065 point-to-point interfaces, thanks to a patch from David Brownlee.
4066
4067- Options not yet known by the dhcpd or dhclient have had their names
4068 changed such that they do not contain # symbols, in case they should ever
4069 appear in a lease file. An option that might have been named "#144" is
4070 now "unknown-144".
4071
4072- Another patch from Bill Stephens which allows the ping-check timeout to
4073 be configured as 'ping-timeout'. Defaults to 1.
4074
4075 Changes since 3.0.1rc10
4076
4077- Potential buffer overflows in minires repaired.
4078
4079- A change to the linux client script to use /bin/bash, since /bin/sh may
4080 not be bash.
4081
4082- Some missing va_end cleanups thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
4083
4084- A correction of boolean parsing syntax validation - some illegal syntaxes
4085 that worked before are now detected and produce errs, some legal syntaxes
4086 that errored before will now work properly.
4087
4088- Some search-and-replace errors that caused some options to change their
4089 names was repaired.
4090
4091- Shu-min Chang of the Intel corporation has contributed a perl script and
4092 module that converts the MS NT4 DHCP configuration to a ISC DHCP3
4093 configuration file.
4094
4095- Applied the remainder of the dhcpctl memory leak patch provided by Bill
4096 Squier at ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
4097
4098- Missing non-optional failover peer configurations will now result in a soft
4099 error rather than a null dereference.
4100
4101 Changes since 3.0.1rc9
4102
4103- A format string was corrected to fix compiler warnings.
4104
4105- A number of spelling corrections were made in the man pages.
4106
4107- The dhclient.conf.5 man page was changed to refer to do-forward-updates
4108 rather than a configuration option that doesn't exist.
4109
4110- A FreeBSD-specific bug in the interface removal handling was fixed.
4111
4112- A Linux-specific Token Ring detection problem was fixed.
4113
4114- Hashes removed from as-yet-unknown agent options, having those options
4115 appear in reality before we know about them will no longer produce
4116 self-corrupting lease databases.
4117
4118- dhclient will use the proper port numbers now when using the -g option.
4119
4120- A order-of-operations bug with 2 match clauses in 1 class statement is
4121 fixed thanks to a patch from Andrew Matheson.
4122
4123- Compilation problems on Solaris were fixed.
4124
4125- Compilation problems when built with DEBUG or DEBUG_PACKET were repaired.
4126
4127- A fix to the dhcp ack process which makes certain group options will be
4128 included in the first DHCPOFFER message was made thanks to a patch from
4129 Ling Gou.
4130
4131- A few memory leaks were repaired thanks to patches from Bill Squier at
4132 ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
4133
4134- A fix for shared-networks that sometimes give clients options for the
4135 wrong subnets (in particular, 'option routers') was applied, thanks to
4136 Ted Lemon for the patch.
4137
4138- Omshell's handling of dotted octets as values was changed such that dots
4139 one after the other produce zero values in the integer string.
4140
4141 Changes since 3.0.1rc8
4142
4143- Fix a format string vulnerability in the server that could lead to a
4144 remote root compromise (discovered by NGSEC Research Team, www.ngsec.com).
4145
4146- Add additional support for NetBSD/sparc64.
4147
4148- Fix a bug in the command-line parsing of the client. Also, resolve
4149 a memory leak.
4150
4151- Add better support for shells other than bash in the Linux client
4152 script.
4153
4154- Various build fixes for modern versions of FreeBSD and Linux.
4155
4156- Fix a bad bounds check when printing binding state names.
4157
4158- Clarify documentation about fixed-address and multiple addresses.
4159
4160- Fix a typo in the authoritative error message.
4161
4162- Make a log entry when we can't write a billing class.
4163
4164- Use conversion targets that are the right size on all architectures.
4165
4166- Increment the hop count when relaying.
4167
4168- Log a message when lease state is changed through OMAPI.
4169
4170- Don't rerun the shared_network when evaluating the pool.
4171
4172- Fix a reversed test in the parser.
4173
4174- Change the type of rbuf_max.
4175
4176- Make FTS_LAST a manifest constant to quiet warnings.
4177
4178 Changes since 3.0.1rc7
4179
4180- Fix two compiler warnings that are generated when compiling on Solaris
4181 with gcc. These stop the build, even though they weren't actually
4182 errors, because we prefer that our builds generate no warnings.
4183
4184 Changes since 3.0.1rc6
4185
4186- Don't allow a lease that's in the EXPIRED, RELEASED or RESET state
4187 to be renewed.
4188
4189- Implement lease stealing for cases where the primary has fewer leases
4190 than the secondary, as called for by the standard.
4191
4192- Add a fudge factor to the lease expiry acceptance code, (suggested
4193 by Kevin Miller of CMU).
4194
4195- Fix a bug in permit_list_match that made it much too willing to say
4196 that two permit lists matched.
4197
4198- Unless DEBUG_DNS_UPDATES is defined, print more user-friendly (and
4199 also more compact) messages about DNS updates.
4200
4201- Fix a bug in generating wire-format domain names for the FQDN option.
4202
4203- Fix a bug where the FQDN option would not be returned if the client
4204 requested it, contrary to the standard.
4205
4206- On Darwin, use the FreeBSD DHCP client script.
4207
4208- On NetBSD/sparc, don't check for casting warnings.
4209
4210- Add a flag in the DHCP client to disable updating the client's A
4211 record when sending an FQDN option indicating that the client is
4212 going to update its A record.
4213
4214- In the client, don't attempt a DNS update until one second after
4215 configuring the new IP address, and if the update times out, keep
4216 trying until a response, positive or negative, is received from the
4217 DNS server.
4218
4219- Fix an uninitialized memory bug in the DHCP client.
4220
4221- Apply some FreeBSD-specific bug fixes suggested by Murray Stokely.
4222
4223- Fix a bug in ns_parserr(), where it was returning the wrong sort
4224 of result code in some cases (suggested by Ben Harris of the
4225 NetBSD project).
4226
4227- Fix a bug in is_identifier(), where it was checking against EOF
4228 instead of the END_OF_FILE token (also suggested by Ben Harris).
4229
4230- Fix a bug where if an option universe contained no options, the
4231 DHCP server could dump core (Walter Steiner).
4232
4233- Fix a bug in the handling of encapsulated options.
4234
4235- Fix a bug that prevented NWIP suboptions from being processed.
4236
4237- Delete the FTS_BOOTP and FTS_RESERVED states and implement them
4238 as modifier flags to the FTS_ACTIVE state, as called for in the
4239 failover protocol standard.
4240
4241- Fix bugs in the pool merging code that resulted in references and
4242 dereferences of null pointers. This bug had no impact unless the
4243 POINTER_DEBUG flag was defined.
4244
4245- In the server, added a do-forward-updates flag that can be used to
4246 disable forward updates in all cases, so that sites that want the
4247 clients to take sole responsibility for updating their A record can
4248 do so.
4249
4250- Make it possible to disable optimization of PTR record updates.
4251
4252 Changes since 3.0.1rc5
4253
4254- Include some new documentation and changes provided by Karl Auer.
4255
4256- Add a workaround for some Lexmark printers that send a double-NUL-
4257 terminated host-name option, which would break DNS updates.
4258
4259- Fix an off-by-one error in the MAC-address checking code for
4260 DHCPRELEASE that was added in 3.0.1rc5.
4261
4262- Fix a bug where client-specific information was not being discarded
4263 from the lease when it expired or was released, resulting in
4264 problems if the lease was reallocated to a different client.
4265
4266- If more than one allocation pool is specified that has the same set
4267 of constraints as another allocation pool on the same shared
4268 network, merge the two pools.
4269
4270- Don't print an error in fallback_discard, since this just causes
4271 confusion and does not appear to be helping to encourage anyone to
4272 fix this bug.
4273
4274 Changes since 3.0.1rc4
4275
4276- Fix a bug that would cause the DHCP server to spin if asked to parse
4277 a certain kind of incorrect statement.
4278
4279- Fix a related bug that would prevent an error from being reported in
4280 the same case.
4281
4282- Additional documentation.
4283
4284- Make sure that the hardware address matches the lease when
4285 processing a DHCPRELEASE message.
4286
4287 Changes since 3.0.1rc3
4288
4289- A minor bug fix in the arguments to a logging function call.
4290- Documentation update for dhcpd.conf.
4291
adbef119 4292 Changes since 3.0.1rc2
98311e4b
DH
4293
4294- Allow the primary to send a POOLREQ message. This isn't what the current
4295 failover draft says to do, so we may have to back it out if I can't get the
4296 authors to relent, but the scheme for balancing that's specified in the
4297 current draft seems needlessly hairy, so I'm floating a trial balloon.
4298 The rc1 code did not implement the method described in the draft either.
4299
adbef119 4300 Changes since 3.0.1rc1
98311e4b
DH
4301
4302- Treat NXDOMAIN and NXRRSET as success when we are trying to delete a
4303 domain or RRSET. This allows the DHCP server to forget about a name
4304 it added to the DNS once it's been removed, even if the DHCP server
4305 wasn't the one that removed it.
4306
4307- Install defaults for failover maximum outstanding updates and maximum
4308 silent time. This prevents problems that might occur if these values
4309 were not configured.
4310
4311- Don't do DDNS deletes if ddns-update-style is none.
4312
4313- Return relay agent information options in DHCPNAK. This prevents DHCPNAK
4314 messages from being dropped when the relay agent information option contains
4315 routing information.
4316
4317- Fix a problem where coming up in recover wouldn't result in an update
4318 request being sent.
4319
4320- Add some more chatty messages when we start a recovery update and when it's
4321 done.
4322
4323- Fix a possible problem where some state might have been left around
4324 after the peer lost contact and regained contact about how many updates
4325 were pending.
4326
4327- Don't nix a lease update because of a lease conflict. This test has
4328 never (as far as I know) prevented a mistake, and it appears to cause
4329 problems with failover.
4330
4331- Add support in rc history code for keeping a selective history, rather
4332 than a history of all references and dereferences. This code is only used
4333 when extensive additional debugging is enabled.
4334
adbef119 4335 Changes since 3.0
98311e4b
DH
4336
4337- Make allocators for hash tables. As a side effect, this fixes a memory
4338 smash in the subclass allocation code.
4339
4340- Fix a small bug in omshell where if you try to close an object when
4341 no object is open, it dumps core.
4342
4343- Fix an obscure coredump that could occur on shutdown.
4344
4345- Fix a bug in the recording of host declaration rubouts in the lease file.
4346
4347- Fix two potential spins in the host deletion code.
4348
4349- Fix a core dump that would happen if an application tried to update
4350 a host object attribute with a null value.
4351
4352 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 12
4353
4354- Fix a memory leak in the evaluation code.
4355
4356- Fix an obscure core dump.
4357
4358- Print a couple of new warnings when parsing the configuration file
4359 when crucial information is left out.
4360
4361- Log "no free leases" as an error.
4362
4363- Documentation updates.
4364
4365 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 11
4366
4367- Always return a subnet selection option if one is sent.
4368
4369- Fix a warning that was being printed because an automatic data
4370 structure wasn't zeroed.
4371
4372- Fix some failover state transitions that were being handled
4373 incorrectly.
4374
4375- When supersede_lease is called on a lease whose end time has already
4376 expired, but for which a state transition has not yet been done, do
4377 a state transition. This fixes the case where if the secondary
4378 allocated a lease to a client and the lease "expired" while the
4379 secondary was in partner-down, no expiry event would actually
4380 happen, so the lease would remain active until the primary was
4381 restarted.
4382
4383 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 10
4384
4385- Fix a bug that was preventing released leases from changing state
4386 in failover-enabled pools.
4387
4388- Fix a core dump in the client identifier finder code (for host
4389 declarations).
4390
4391- Finish fixing a bug where bogus data would sometimes get logged to
4392 the dhclient.leases file because it was opened as descriptor 2.
4393
4394- Fix the Linux dhclient-script according to suggestions made by
4395 several people on the dhcp-client mailing list.
4396
4397- Log successful DNS updates at LOG_INFO, not LOG_ERROR.
4398
4399- Print an error message and refuse to run if a failover peer is
4400 defined but not referenced by any pools.
4401
4402- Correct a confusing error message in failover.
4403
eaf0b302
TL
4404 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 9

0db87765
TL
4408 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8 Patchlevel 2
4409
4410- Fix a bug that prevented update-static-leases from working.
4411
4412- Document failover-state OMAPI object.
4413
4414- Fix a compilation error on SunOS 4.
4415
d758ad8c
TL
4416 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8 Patchlevel 1
4417
4418- Fix a parsing bug that broke dns updates (both interim and ad-hoc).
4419 This was introduced in rc8pl1 as an unintended result of the memory
4420 leakage fixes that were in pl1.
4421
4422- Fix a long-standing bug where the server would record that an update
4423 had been done for a client with no name, even though no update had
4424 been done, and then when the client's lease expired the deletion of
4425 that nonexistant record would time out because the name was the null
9a111ee8 4426 string.
d758ad8c
TL
4427
4428- Clean up the omshell, dhcpctl and omapi man pages a bit.
4429
d758ad8c
TL
4430 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8
4431
4432- Fix a bug that could cause the DHCP server to spin if
4433 one-lease-per-client was enabled.
4434
4435- Fix a bug that was causing core dumps on BSD/os in the presence of
4436 malformed packets.
4437
4438- In partner-down state, don't restrict lease lengths to MCLT.
4439
4440- On the failover secondary, record the MCLT received from the primary
4441 so that if we come up without a connection to the primary we don't
4442 wind up giving out zero-length leases.
4443
4444- Fix some compilation problems on BSD/os.
4445
4446- Fix a bunch of memory leaks.
4447
4448- Fix a couple of bugs in the option printer.
4449
4450- Fix an obscure error reporting bug in the dns update code, and also
4451 make the message clearer when a key algorithm isn't supported.
4452
4453- Fix a bug in the tracing code that prevented trace runs that used
4454 tcp connections from being played back.
4455
4456- Add some additional debugging capability for catching memory leaks
4457 on exit.
4458
4459- Make the client release the lease correctly on shutdown.
4460
4461- Add some configurability to the build system.
4462
4463- Install omshell manual page in man1, not man8.
4464
4465- Craig Gwydir sent in a patch that fixes a long-standing bug in the
4466 DHCP client that could cause core dumps, but that for some reason
4467 hadn't been noticed until now.
4468
4469 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 7
4470
4471- Fix a bug in failover where we weren't sending updates after a
4472 transition from communications-interrupted to normal.
4473
4474- Handle expired/released/reset -> free transition according to the
4475 protocol specification (this works - the other way not only wasn't
4476 conformant, but also didn't work).
4477
4478- Add a control object in both client and server that allows either
4479 daemon to be shut down cleanly.
4480
4481- When writing a lease, if we run out of disk space, shut down the
4482 output file and insist on writing a new one before proceeding.
4483
4484- In the server, if the OMAPI listener port is occupied, keep trying
4485 to get it, rather than simply giving up and exiting.
4486
4487- Support fetching variables from leases and also updating and adding
4488 variables to leases via OMAPI.
4489
4490- If two failover peers have wildly different clocks, refuse to start
4491 doing failover.
4492
4493- Fix a bug in the DNS update code that could cause core dumps when
4494 running on alpha processors.
4495
4496- Fixed a bug in ddns updates for static lease entries, thanks to a
4497 patch from Andrey M Linkevitch.
4498
4499- Add support for Darwin/MacOS X
4500
4501- Install omshell (including new documentation).
4502
4503- Support DNS updates in the client (this is a very obscure feature
4504 that most DHCP client users probably will not be able to use).
4505
4506- Somewhat cleaner status logging in the client.
4507
4508- Make OMAPI key naming syntax compatible with the way keys are
4509 actually named (key names are domain names).
4510
4511- Fix a bug in the lease file writer.
4512
4513- Install DHCP ISC headers in a different place than BIND 9 ISC
4514 headers, to avoid causing trouble in BIND 9 builds.
4515
4516- Don't send updates for attributes on an object when the attributes
4517 haven't changed. Support deleting attributes on remote objects.
4518
4519- Fix a number of bugs in omshell, and add the unset and refresh
4520 statements.
4521
4522- Handle disconnects in OMAPI a little bit more intelligently (so that
4523 the caller gets ECONNRESET instead of EINVAL).
4524
4525- Fix a bunch of bugs in the handling of clients that have existing
4526 leases when the try to renew their leases while failover is
4527 operating.
4528
eaf0b302
TL
4529 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 6
4530
4531- Fix a core dump that could happen when processing a DHCPREQUEST from
4532 a client that had a host declaration that contained both a
4533 fixed-address declaration and a dhcp-client-identifier option
4534 declaration, if the client identifier was longer than nine bytes.
4535
4536- Fix a memory leak that could happen in certain obscure cases when
4537 using omapi to manipulate leases.
4538
4539- Fix some bugs and omissions in omshell.
4540
eaf0b302
TL
4541 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 5
4542
4543- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that prevented objects in
4544 chains from having their reference counts decreased on dereference.
4545
4546- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that would prevent object
4547 chains from being freed upon removal of the last reference external
4548 to the chain.
4549
4550- Fix a number of other memory leaks in the OMAPI protocol subsystem.
4551
4552- Add code in the OMAPI protocol handler to trace memory leakage.
4553
4554- Clean up the memory allocation/reference history printer.
4555
98311e4b 4556- Support input of dotted quads and colon-separated hex lists as
eaf0b302
TL
4557 attribute values in omshell.

4561- Conditionalize a piece of trace code that wasn't conditional.
4562
4563 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 4
4564
4565- Fix a bug that would prevent leases from being abandoned properly on
4566 DHCPDECLINE.
4567
4568- Fix failover peer OMAPI support.
4569
4570- In failover, correctly handle expiration of leases. Previously,
4571 leases would never be reclaimed because they couldn't make the
4572 transition from EXPIRED to FREE.
4573
4574- Fix some broken failover state transitions.
4575
4576- Documentation fixes.
4577
4578- Take out an unnecessary check in DHCP relay agent information option
4579 stashing code that was preventing REBINDING clients from rebinding.
4580
4581- Prevent failover peers from allocating leases in DHCPREQUEST
4582 processing if the lease belongs to the other server.
4583
4584- Record server version in lease file introductory comment.
4585
4586- Correctly report connection errors in OMAPI and failover.
4587
4588- Make authentication signature algorithm name comparisons in OMAPI
4589 case-insensitive.
4590
4591- Fix compile problem on SunOS 4.x
4592
98311e4b 4593- If a signature algorithm is not terminated with '.', terminate it so
eaf0b302
TL
4594 that comparisons between fully-qualified names will work
4595 consistently.
4596
4597- Different SIOCGIFCONF probe code, may "fix" problem on some Linux
4598 systems with the probe not working correctly.
4599
4600- Don't allow user to type omapi key on command line of omshell.

TL
4602 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 3
4603
4604- Do lease billing on startup in a way that I *think* will finally do
4605 the billing correctly - the previous method could overbill as a
4606 result of duplicate leases.
4607
4608- Document OMAPI server objects.

TL
4610 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 2 Patchlevel 1
4611
4612- Fix some problems in the DDNS update code. Thanks to Albert
4613 Herranz for figuring out the main problem.
4614
4615- Fix some reference counting errors on host entries that were causing
4616 core dumps.
4617
4618- Fix a byte-swap bug in the token ring code, thanks to Jochen
4619 Friedrich.
4620
4621- Fix a bug in lease billing, thanks to Jonas Bulow.
4622
4623 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 2
4624
4625- Change the conditions under which a DHCPRELEASE is actually
4626 committed to be consistent with lease binding states rather than
98311e4b 4627 using the lease end time. This may fix some problems with the
892fe689
TL
4628 billing class code.
4629
4630- Fix a bug where lease updates would fail on Digital Unix (and maybe
4631 others) because malloc was called with a size of zero.
4632
4633- Fix a core dump that happens when the DHCP server can't create its
4634 trace file.
4635
79ea3de8 4636 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 1 Patchlevel 1
87784777 4637
79ea3de8
TL
4638- Fix the dhcp_failover_put_message to not attempt to allocate a
4639 zero-length buffer. Some versions of malloc() fail if you try to
4640 allocate a zero-length buffer, and this was causing problems on,
4641 e.g., Digital Unix.
4642
4643- Fix a case where the failover code was printing an error message
4644 when no error had occurred.
4645
4646- Fix a problem where when a server went down and back up again, the
4647 peer would not see a state transition and so would stay in the
4648 non-communicating state.
4649
4650- Be smart about going into recover_wait.
4651
4652- Fix a problem in the failover implementation where peers would fail
4653 to come into sync if interrupted in the RECOVER state. This could
4654 have been the cause of some problems people have reported recently.
4655
4656- Fix a problem with billing classes where they would not be unbilled
4657 when the client lease expired.
4658
4659- If select fails, figure out which descriptor is bad, and cut it out
4660 of the I/O loop. This prevents a potentially nasty spin. I
4661 haven't heard any report it in a while, but it came up consistently
4662 in testing.
4663
4664- Fix a bug in the relay agent where if you specified interfaces on
4665 the command line, it would fail.
4666
4667- Fix a couple of small bugs in the omapi connection object (no known
4668 user impact).
4669
4670- Add the missing 3.0 Beta 1 lease conversion script.
4671
4672- Read dhcp client script hooks if they exist, rather than only if
4673 they're executable.

4685- There is a known problem with the DHCP server doing failover on
4686 Compaq Alpha systems. This patchlevel is not a release candidate
4687 because of this bug. The bug should be straightforward to fix, so
4688 a new release candidate is expected shortly.

4696 work, so that failover should now much less fragile.

4715 checked. This may have been causing core dumps.
4716
4717- When parsing the lease file, if a lease declaration includes a
4718 billing class statement, and the lease already has a billing class,
4719 unbill the old class.
4720
4721- When processing failover transactions, where acks will be deferred,
4722 process the state transition immediately.
4723
4724- Don't try to use the new SIOCGIFCONF buffer size detection code on
4725 Linux 2.0, which doesn't provide this functionality.

4732
4733- Document the -n and -g flags to the client.
4734
4735- Make sure there is always a stdin and stdout on startup. This
4736 prevents shell scripts from accidentally writing error messages into
4737 configuration files that happen to be opened as stderr.
4738
4739- If an interface is removed, the client will now notice that it is
4740 gone rather than spinning. This has only been tested on NetBSD.
4741
4742- The client will attempt to get an address even if it can't create a
4743 lease file.

4791 server (in theory). (Damien Neil)
4792
4793- Fix a case where if a client had two different leases the server could
4794 actually dereference the second one when it hadn't been referenced,
4795 leading to memory corruption and a core dump. (James Brister)
4796
4797- Fix a case where a client could request the address of another client's
4798 lease, but find_lease wouldn't detect that the other client had it, and
4799 would attempt to allocate it to the client, resulting in a lease conflict
4800 message.
4801
4802- Fix a case where a client with more than one client identifier could be
4803 given a lease where the hardware address was correct but the client
4804 identifier was not, resulting in a lease conflict message.

TL
4807 hex list as a value for a variable, which would then not parse.
4808 The fix is to always write strings as quoted strings, with any
4809 non-printable characters quoted as octal escape sequences. So
4810 a file written the old way still won't work, but new files written
4811 this way will work.

4816 break any configuration files that use the option-nnn convention.
4817 If you want to continue to use this convention for some options,
4818 please be sure to write a definition, like this:

4841- Add support for transaction tracing. This allows the state of the
4842 DHCP server on startup, and all the subsequent transactions, to be
4843 recorded in a file which can then be played back to reproduce the
4844 behaviour of the DHCP server. This can be used to quickly
4845 reproduce bugs that cause core dumps or corruption, and also for
4846 tracking down memory leaks.
4847
4848- Incorporate some bug fixes provided by Joost Mulders for the DLPI
4849 package which should clear up problems people have been seeing on
4850 Solaris.
4851
4852- Fix bugs in the handling of options stored as linked lists (agent
4853 options, fqdn options and nwip options) that could cause memory
4854 corruption and core dumps.

4902- Finish fixing a long-standing bug in the agent options code. This
4903 was causing core dumps and failing to operate correctly - in
4904 particular, agent option stashing wasn't working. Agent option
4905 stashing should now be working, meaning that agent options can be
4906 used in class statements to control address allocation.
4907

4918 transmitting packets to the server. Handy for debugging; not much
4919 practical use otherwise.

4930- Work around the Win98 DHCP client, which NUL-terminates the FQDN
4931 option.

4933- Work around Win98 and Win2k clients that will claim they want to do
4934 the update even when they don't have any way to do it.
4935
4936- Fix some log messages that can be printed when failover is operating
4937 that were not printing enough information.
4938
4939- It was possible for a DHCPDISCOVER to get an allocation even when
4940 the state machine said the server shouldn't be responding.
4941
4942- Don't load balance DHCPREQUESTs from clients in RENEWING and
4943 REBINDING, since in RENEWING, if we heard it, it's for us, and in
4944 REBINDING, the client wouldn't have got to REBINDING if its primary
4945 were answering.

4948 the transition.

4958 decoder that would prevent any key with an 'x' in its base64
4959 representation from working correctly.
4960
4961- Thanks to Chris Cheney and Michael Sanders, we have a fix for the
4962 hang that they both spotted in the DHCP server - when
4963 one-lease-per-client was set, the code to release the "other" lease
4964 could spin.
4965
4966- Fix a problem with alignment of the input buffer in bpf in cases
4967 where two packets arrive in the same bpf read.
4968
4969- Fix a problem where the relay agent would crash if you specified an
4970 interface name on the command line.
4971
4972- Add the ability to conditionalize client behaviour based on the
4973 client state.
4974
4975- Add support for the FQDN option, and added support for a new way of
4976 doing ddns updates (ddns update style interim) that allows more than
4977 one DHCP server to update the DNS for the same network(s). This
4978 was implemented by Damien Neil with some additional functionality
4979 added by Ted Lemon.
4980
4981- Damien added a "log" statement, so that the configuration file can
4982 be made to log debugging information and other information.
4983
4984- Fixed a bug that caused option buffers not to be terminated with an
4985 end option.
4986
4987- Fixed a long-standing bug in the support for option spaces where the
4988 options are stored as an ordered list rather than in a hash table,
4989 which could theoretically result in memory pool corruption.
4990
4991- Prevent hardware declarations with no actual hardware address from
4992 being written as something unparsable, and behave correctly in the
4993 face of a null hardware address on input.
4994
4995- Allow key names to be FQDNs, and qualify the algorithm name if it is
4996 specified unqualified.
4997
4998- Modify the DDNS update code so that it never prints the "resolver
4999 failed" message, but instead says *why* the resolver failed.

5002 RFC.

5064- Fix a possible DoS attack where a client could cause the checksummer
5065 to dump core. This was a read, not a write, so it shouldn't be
5066 possible to exploit it any further than that.
5067
5068- Implement client- and server-side support for using the Client FQDN
5069 option.
5070
5071- Support for other option spaces in the client has been added. This
5072 means that it is now possible to define a vendor option space on the
5073 client, request options in that space from the server (which must
5074 define the same option space), and then use those options in the
5075 client. This also allows NWIP and Client FQDN options to be used
5076 meaningfully.
5077
5078- Add object initializer support. This means that objects can now be
5079 initialized to something other than all-zeros when allocated, which
5080 makes, e.g., the interface object support code a little more robust.
5081
5082- Fix an off-by-one bug in the host stuffer. This was causing host
5083 deletes not the work, and may also have been causing OMAPI
5084 connections to get dropped. Thanks to James Brister for tracking
