72c7bd79 6
5ddbe8e4 7 NEW FEATURES
16449d9c 8
5ade3c84 9The major "theme" for ISC DHCP 4.3.x was to update the support for
324257e3
SR
10DHCPv6 to include several of the features that have been available
11for DHCPv4. These include:
37ec5845 12
324257e3
SR
13- Support the use of classes
14
15- Support for on_commit, on_expiry and on_release statements
16
4809ef5c 17- Better logging of address assignments
324257e3
SR
18
19- Support for using DHCPv6 relay options in expressions
20
21This release also adds suppport for the standard DDNS as described in the
22current RFCs as well as enhancing support for dynamically adding and removing
23subclasses via OMAPI.

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

55 Changes since 4.3.3
56
555093da
TM
57- Corrected a static analyzer warning in common/execute.c
58 [ISC-Bugs #40374]
e82906fc 59
555093da
TM
60- ISC DHCP now follows the common convention to use the base name a
61 program is invoked with (aka argv[0], vs. a builtin name) for
62 logs. This should help differentiate syslog entires for DHCPv4 and
63 DHCPv6 servers. You can define OLD_LOG_NAME in includes/site.h to
64 keep the previous behavior.
65 [ISC-Bugs #38692]
20931f53 66
555093da
TM
67- The linux packet filter code now correctly treats only least significant
68 12 bits an inbound packet's TCI value as the VLAN id (per IEEE 802.1Q).
69 Prior to this it was using the entire 16 bit value as the VLAN id and
70 incorrectly discarding packets. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for
71 reporting this issue and supplying its patch.
72 [ISC-Bugs #40591]
5cc6f201 73
e8e6768a
TM
74- Fixed several issues static analysis issues such as potential null
75 references, unchecked strdup returns. Thanks to Bill Parker (wp02855 at
76 gmail dot com) who identified these issues and supplied patches to
77 address them.
88c3ff5d 78 [ISC-Bugs #40754]
e8e6768a 79 [ISC-Bugs #40823]
88c3ff5d 80
555093da
TM
81- Corrected compilation errors that prohibited building the server
82 and its ATF unit tests when failover is disabled.
83 [ISC-Bugs #40372]
f10cbbfa 84
555093da
TM
85- Added the lease address to the end of the debug level log message
86 emitted when an existing lease is renewed within the dhcp-cache-threshold.
87 Thanks to Nathan Neulinger at Missouri S&T for suggesting the change.
88 [ISC-Bugs #40598]
5fc79cfd 89
555093da
TM
90- Added dhcpv6 and delayed-ack to settings listed in the "Features:"
91 section of the configure script output. Additionally, all of the
92 features reported on will now always show either a "yes" or "no"
93 value. Prior to this features left to their default setting would
94 not show a value.
95 [ISC-Bugs #40381]
96
97- Added a parameter, authoring-byte-order, to the lease file. This value
98 is automatically added to the top of new lease files by the server and
99 indicates the internal byte order (big endian or little endian) of the
100 server. This permits lease files generated on a server with one form of
101 byte order to be used on a server with the opposite form. Our thanks to
102 Timothe Litt for calling this to our attention and for the suggestions
103 he provided.
104 [ISC-Bugs #38396]
646acb59 105
d1d1da8f 106- Fixed a small memory leak in the DHCPv6 version of the client code.
18ba0ff3
SR
107 This is unlikely to cause significant issues in actual use.
108 [ISC-Bugs #40990]
109
ce29e695
TM
110- Corrected a few minor memory leaks in omapi's dereferencing of
111 host objects. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for reporting
112 the issue and supplying the patches.
113 [ISC-Bugs #33990]
114
d1d1da8f
FD
115- Cleaned up some of the Make infrastructure to make --with-libbind
116 work better. Though it still only works with an absolute path.
117 [ISC-Bugs #39210]
118
119- Made the embedded bind libraries able to be cross compiled
120 (please refer to the bind9 documentation to learn how to cross
121 compile DHCP and its bind library dependency).
122 [ISC-Bugs #38836]
123
7da1ac2b 124 Changes since 4.3.3b1
5fc79cfd
TM
125- None
126
b31fe1d5
TM
127 Changes since 4.3.2
128
bc549dd9
SR
129- The server now does a better check to see if it can allocate the memory
130 for large blocks of v4 leases and should provide a slightly better error
131 message. Note well: the server pre-allocates v4 addresses, if you use
132 a large range, such as a /8, the server will attempt to use a large
133 amount of memory and may not start if there either isn't enough memory
134 or the size exceeds what the code supports.
135 [ISC-Bugs #38637]
136
b31fe1d5
TM
137- The server will now reject unicast Request, Renew, Decline, and Release
138 messages from a client unless the server would have sent that client the
139 dhcp6.unicast option. This behavior is in compliance with paragraph 1 in
140 each of the sections 18.2,1, 18.2.3, 18.2.6, and 18.2.7 of RFC 3315. Prior
141 to this, the server would simply accept the messages. Now, in order for
142 the server to accept such a message, the server configuration must include
143 the dhcp6.unicast option either globally or within the shared network to
144 which the requested lease belongs. In other words, the server will map
145 the first IA_XX address found within the client message to a shared-network
146 and look for the presence of the unicast option there and then globally.
ba21bb1b
TM
147 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for this issue and his patch which
148 inspired the fix.
b31fe1d5 149 [ISC-Bugs #21235]
c2419dca 150
20c0fdc7
SR
151- The ATF (Automated Testing Framework) tools used for optional unit tests
152 can now be built from its embedded sources in bind, solving the
153 atf-run / atf-report issue with recent (>= 0.20) versions of ATF.
154 The new configuration option is "./configure --with-atf=bind".
1b245c91 155 [ISC-Bugs #38754, #39300]
20c0fdc7 156
1c0b7d66
SR
157- Corrected a compilation error introduced by the fix for ISC-Bugs #22806.
158 On older linuxes that do not include the tpacket_auxdata structure don't
159 bother allocating the cmsgbuf as it isn't necessary and we don't have
160 a proper length for it.
161 [ISC-Bugs #39209]
162
da88d34b
SR
163- Remove the dst directory. This was replaced in 4.2.0 with the dst
164 code from the Bind libraries but we continued to include it for
165 backwards compatibility. As we have now released 4.3.x it seems
166 reasonable to remove it.
167 [ISC-Buts #39019]
168
90a062fb
SR
169- Write out the DUID server id on startup in all cases, previously if it
170 was read in from server-duid option in the config or lease files for
171 DHCPv4 it would not be written to the new lease file.
172 [ISC-Bugs #37791]
173
90fdd337
SR
174- When parsing dates for leases convert dates past 2038 to "never".
175 This avoids problems with integer overflows in the date and time
176 handling code for people that decide to use very large lease times
177 or add a lease entry with a date far in the future.
178 [ISC-Bugs #33056]
179
70689a73
SR
180- Leave the siaddr field clear when sending a NACK as per RFC 2131
181 table 3.
182 [ISC-Bugs #38769]
183
30dcfbf6
SR
184- In the client don't send expired addresses to the script as part of
185 the binding process. Thanks to Sven Trenkel at Google for reporting
186 the issue and suggesting the patch.
187 [ISC-Bugs #38631]
188
4136513e
SR
189- While parsing IPv6 addresses treat "add" as part of the address instead
190 of as a token.
191 [ISC-Bugs #39529]
192
3933e2aa
SR
193- Add support for accessing the v4 lease queues (active, free etc) in a
194 binary fashion instead of needing to walk through a linear list to
195 insert, find or remove an entry from the queues. In addition add a
196 compile time option "--enable-binary-leases" to enable the new code
197 or to continue using the old code. The old code is the default.
198 Thanks to Fernando Soto from BlueCat Networks for the patch.
199 [ISC-Bugs #39078]
200
cca6a648 201- Delayed-ack now works properly with Failover. Prior to this, bind updates
202 post startup were being queued but never delivered. Among other things, this
203 was causing leases to not transition from expired or released to free.
204 [ISC-Bugs #31474]
205
46d31b51
SR
206- Clean up parsing of v6 lease files a bit to avoid infinite loops if the
207 lease file is corrupt in certain ways.
208 [ISC-Bugs #39760]
209
cca6a648 210- Corrected a crash in dhclient that occurs during lease renewal if the
68b3e7f2
TM
211 client is performing its own DNS updates. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat
212 for the bug report.
cca6a648 213 [ISC-Bugs #38639]
214
ff1b3d04
TM
215- Corrected an issue in v6 lease file parsing. Prior to this, when encountering
216 a lease with an address for which no configured pool exists, the server was
217 declaring the lease file corrupt and incorrectly skipping over the subsequent
218 entry in the file. The server will now emit a log message indicating that
219 no pool was found for the address (or prefix) and correctly resume parsing
673137b1
TM
220 with the next entry in the lease file. Our thanks to Michal Žejdl for
221 reporting the issue.
ff1b3d04
TM
222 [ISC-Bugs #39314]
223
34711bb7
SR
224- Be more liberal in finding a subnet group associated with a static
225 prefix. When we added the class matching code for v6 we also added
226 a requirement that the static prefix must be within a subnet the
227 client was in, in order to find the proper statements. We now
228 look for a subnet based on the prefix, failing that on the static
229 address for the client and failing that on the shared network
230 itself.
231 [ISC-Bugs #38329]
232
45c332f0
SR
233- Add a new action expression "parse_vendor_options", which can be used
234 to parse a vendor-encapsualted-option received by the server based on
235 the encoding specified by the vendor-option-space statement.
236 [ISC-Bugs #36449]
237
7a6c9368
SR
238- Enhance the PARANOIA patch to include fchown() the lease file to
239 allow it to be manipulated after the server does a chown().
240 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the patch.
241 [ISC-Bugs #36978]
242
7ef55702
SR
243- Relax the requirement that prefix pools must be within the subnet.
244 This was added in as part of #32453 in order to avoid configuration
245 mistakes but is being removed as prefixes aren't required to be
246 within the same subnet and many people configure them in that fashion.
247 [ISC-Bugs #40077]
248
6a39bcf0
TM
249- Fixed a server crash that could occur when the server attempts to remove
250 the billing class from the last lease billed to a dynamic class after said
6c8eb544
TM
251 class has been deleted. Our thanks to Lasse Pesonen for reporting the
252 issue.

743d6937
TM
255- LDAP Patches - Numerous small patches submitted by contributors have
256 been applied to the contributed code which supplies LDAP support.
af25ded3
SR
257 In addition, two larger submissions have also been included. The
258 first adds support for IPv6 configuration and the second provides

TM
290
291- Corrected a compilation error introduced by the fix for ISC-Bugs #37415.
292 The error occurs on Linux variants that do not support VLAN tag information
293 in packet auxiliary data. The configure script now only enables inclusion
294 of the VLAN tag-based logic if it is supported by the underlying OS.
295 [ISC-Bugs #38677]
296
45adf35c 297 Changes since 4.3.2b1
4d9b81fc 298
45adf35c 299- Specifying the option, --disable-debug, on the configure script command line
4e1bf548 300 now disables debug features. Prior to this, specifying --disable-debug
112d76f6
TM
301 incorrectly enabled debug features. Thanks to Gustavo Zacarias for reporting
302 the issue.
4e1bf548 303 [ISC-Bugs #37780]
4d9b81fc 304
9a111ee8
TM
305- Unit test execution now uses a path augmented during configuration
306 processing of the --with-atf option to locate ATF runtime tools, atf-run
307 and atf-report. For most installations of ATF, this should alleviate the
308 need to manually include them in the PATH, as was formerly required.
309 If the configure script cannot locate the tools it will emit a warning,
310 informing the user that the tools must be in the PATH when running unit
311 tests.
312 Secondly, please note that "make check" will now exit with a failure status
313 code (non-zero) if one or more unit tests fail. This means that invoking
314 "make check" from an upper level directory will cause the make process to
315 STOP after the first test subdirectory with failed test(s). To force all
316 tests in all subdirectories to run, regardless of individual test outcome,
317 use the command "make -k check".

1dceab6c
SR
353- Remove unneeded error #defines. These defines were included in case
354 external programs required the older versions of the macro. They
355 have been #ifdeffed for now and will be removed at a future date.
356 See site.h for the #define to include them again, but you should
357 switch to using the DHCP_R_* versions instead of the ISC_R_* versions.
adb95d23 358 Also ISC_R_MULTIPLE has been removed as it is also defined in bind.

382 [ISC-Bugs #24216]
383 [ISC-Bugs #25587]
384
385- Added the echo-client-id configuration parameter to the server configuration.
386 The server now supports RFC 6842 compliant behavior by setting a new
387 configuration parameter, echo-client-id. When enabled, the server will
388 include the client identifier option (Option code 61) if received, in its
389 responses. The server identifier returned in NAKs (if enabled) will now
390 be the globally defined value (if one) if the server cannot attribute the
391 inbound request to a known subnet.

404
21d30347
SR
405- In the failover code, handle the case of communications being interrupted
406 when the servers are dealing with POTENTIAL-CONFLICT. This patch allows
407 the primary to accept the secondary moving from POTENTIAL-CONFLICT to
408 RESOLUTION-INTERRUPTED as well as handling the bind update process better.
409 In addition the code to resend update or update all requests has been
410 modified to send requests more often.

415 name from the following in order of preference:
416
417 1. FQDN option if provided by the client
418 2. Host name option if provided by the client
419 3. Configured option host-name if defined
420
421 As before, this may be overridden by defining ddns-hostname to the desired
422 value (or expression). In addition, the server logic has been extended to
423 use the value of the host name declaration if use-host-decl-names is enabled
424 and no other value is available.

428 the existing lease and the forward DNS name had not changed. This has been
429 corrected.

45adf35c 434 prepending or appending to the IPv4 domain-search option, received from the

TM
439- Added the server-id-check parameter to the server configuration.
440 This parameter allows run-time control over whether or not a server,
441 participating in failover, verifies the dhcp-server-identifier option in
ebb1d91e 442 DHCP REQUESTs against the server's id before processing the request.
7116a34f

443 Formerly, enabling this behavior was done at compilation time through
444 the use of the #define, SERVER_ID_CHECK, which has been removed from site.h
adb95d23 445 The functionality is now only available through the new runtime parameter.

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

457- Fixed a small issue in the treatment of hosts in the inform processing
458 that could cause the response to an inform to include information from
459 the wrong scope. The two examples we've heard of are getting subnet
460 instead of group information associated with a host entry, or getting

484- Modified linux packet handling such that packets received via VLAN are now
485 seen only by the VLAN interface. Prior to this, such packets were seen by
486 both the VLAN interface and its parent (physical) interface, causing the

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

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

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

51b8a8a0
SR
687
688- If a client renews before 'dhcp-cache-threshold' percent of its lease
689 has elapsed (default 25%), the server will reuse the allocated lease
690 (provide a lease within the currently allocated lease-time) rather
691 than extend or renew the lease. This absolves the server of needing
692 to perform an fsync() operation on the lease database before reply,
693 which improves performance. [ISC-Bugs #22228]
80778e94 694 Updated this patch to support asynchronous DDNS. If the server is
adb95d23 695 attempting to do DDNS on a lease it should be updated and written to
4809ef5c 696 disk even if that wouldn't be necessary due to the thresholding.

704 was used is now solved on GNU/Linux, BSD and GNU/Hurd systems. Note
705 that use-sockets feature was not tested on those systems. Client and

710 can parse v4 lease files and output the lease information in a more
711 human friendly manner. This was written by Christian Hammers with
712 some updates by vom and ISC. This is contributed code and is not

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

cde11a4c
SR
731- Add a configuration option to the server to suppress using fsync().
732 Enabling this option will mean that fsync() is never called. This
733 may provide better performance but there is also a risk that a lease
734 will not be properly written to the disk after it has been issued
735 to a client and before the server stops. Using this option is
736 not recommended.

739- Add some logging statements to indicate when the server is ready
740 to serve. One statement is emitted after the server has finished
741 reading its files and is about to enter the dispatch loop.
742 This is "Server starting service.".
743 The second is emitted when a server determines that both it and
744 its failover peer are in the normal state.

758 some functionality that was lost in the transition to asynchronous
759 DDNS. Due to the lack of security and increase in fragility of the

761 appropriate zone statements rather than using this functionality.

38ee81bd
SR
770- Add ignore-client-uids option in the server. This option causes
771 the server to not record a client's uid in its lease. This
772 violates the specification but may also be useful when a client
773 can dual boot using different client ids but the same mac address.

804- An optimization described in the failover protocol draft is now included,
805 which permits a DHCP server operating in communications-interrupted state
806 to 'rewind' a lease to the state most recently transmitted to its peer,
807 greatly increasing a server's endurance in communications-interrupted.
808 This is supported using a new 'rewind state' record on the dhcpd.leases
809 entry for each lease.

1084 in sub-1-second timers. This corrects a bug where a 2-second or lower

1181- DNS Update fix. A misconfigured server could crash during DNS update
1182 processing if the configuration included overlapping pools or
1183 multiple fixed-address entries for a single address. This issue
1184 affected both IPv4 and IPv6. The fix allows a server to detect such
1185 conditions, provides the user with extra information and recommended
1186 steps to fix the problem. If the user enables the appropriate option
1187 in site.h then server will be terminated

1219! Modify the DDNS handling code. In a previous patch we added logging
1220 code to the DDNS handling. This code included a bug that caused it
1221 to attempt to dereference a NULL pointer and eventually segfault.
1222 While reviewing the code as we addressed this problem, we determined
1223 that some of the updates to the lease structures would not work as
1224 planned since the structures being updated were in the process of
1225 being freed: these updates were removed. In addition we removed an
1226 incorrect call to the DDNS removal function that could cause a failure
1227 during the removal of DDNS information from the DNS server.

1330! Previously the server code was relaxed to allow packets with zero
1331 length client ids to be processed. Under some situations use of
1332 zero length client ids can cause the server to go into an infinite
1333 loop. As such ids are not valid according to RFC 2132 section 9.14
1334 the server no longer accepts them. Client ids with a length of 1
1335 are also invalid but the server still accepts them in order to
1336 minimize disruption. The restriction will likely be tightened in
1337 the future to disallow ids with a length of 1.

1577 result in an erroneous error log message ('garbage in format string').

DH
1579- A bug in DLPI packet transmission (Solaris, HP/UX) that caused the server
1580 to stop receiving packets is fixed. The same fix also means that the MAC
1581 address will no longer appear 'bogus' on DLPI-based systems.
1582
1583- A bug in select handling was discovered where the results of one select()
1584 call were discarded, causing the server to process the next select() call
1585 and use more system calls than required. This has been repaired - the
1586 sockets will be handled after the first return from select(), resulting in
1587 fewer system calls.

DH
1589- The update-conflict-detection feature would leave an FQDN updated without
1590 a DHCID (still currently implemented as a TXT RR). This would cause later
1591 expiration or release events to fail to remove the domain name. The feature
1592 now also inserts the client's up to date DHCID record, so records may safely
1593 be removed at expiration or release time. Thanks to a patch submitted by
1594 Christof Chen.

DH
1596- Memory leak in the load_balance_mine() function is fixed. This would
1597 leak ~20-30 octets per DHCPDISCOVER packet while failover was in use
1598 and in normal state.

1646- Secondary servers in a failover pair will now perform ddns removals if
1647 they had performed ddns updates on a lease that is expiring, or was
1648 released through the primary. As part of the same fix, stale binding scopes
1649 will now be removed if a change in identity of a lease's active client is
1650 detected, rather than simply if a lease is noticed to have expired (which it
1651 may have expired without a failover server noticing in some situations).

1653- A patch supplied by David Cantrell at RedHat was applied that detects
1654 invalid calling parameters given to the ns_name_ntop() function.

1656 that causes the pointer to integer-wrap past zero.

1666 precedence. This fixes two bugs, one where host scoped configuration
1667 would not be included from a non-fixed-address6 host record, and the equal
1668 and opposite bug where subnet6 scoped configuration would not be used when

SR
1675- Modified the handling of a connection to avoid releasing the omapi io

1678 to the failover primary if their clocks were not synchronized.

1721 the client has been deprived of all A and AAAA records (not only the last
1722 one of either of those). This resolves a bug where dual stack clients
1723 would not be able to regain their names after either expiration event.

7d6180be
DH
1789- A bug in subnet6 parsing where options contained in subnet6 clauses would
1790 not be applied to clients addressed within that network was repaired.
1791
1792- When configuring a "subnet {}" or "subnet6 {}" without an explicit
1793 shared-network enclosing it, the DHCP software would synthesize a
1794 shared-network to contain the subnet. However, all configuration
1795 parameters within the subnet more intuitively belong "to any client
1796 on that interface", or rather the synthesized shared-network. So,
1797 when a shared-network is synthesized, it is used to contain the
1798 configuration present inside the subnet {} clause. This means that
1799 the configuration will be valid for all clients on that network, not
1800 just those addressed out of the stated subnet. If you intended the
1801 opposite, the workaround is to explicitly configure an empty
1802 shared-network.
1803
1804- A bug was fixed where Information-Request processing was not sourcing
1805 configured option values.
1806
1807- A warning was added since the DHCPv6 processing software does not yet
1808 support class statements.

01a54c17
EH
1860- The dhclient-script was updated to create a host route for the default
1861 gateway if the supplied subnet mask for an IPv4 address was a /32. This
1862 allows the client to work in 'captive' network environments, where the
1863 operator does not want clients to crosstalk directly.
1864
adb95d23 1865- MINUS tokens should be parsable again.
01a54c17
EH
1866
1867- Multiple (up to "delayed-ack x;" maximum) DHCPv4 packets are now queued and
1868 released in bursts after single fsync() events when the upper limit is
1869 reached or if the receiving sockets go dry. The practical upshot is
1870 that fsync-coupled server performance is now multiplicitively increased.
1871 The default delayed ack limit is 28. Thanks entirely to a patch from
1872 Christof Chen.

1905 'address' parameter (the server's local address) did not resolve to an
1906 IPv4 address.
1907
2c9bf1f4
DH
1908- The minimum site code value was set to 224 in 3.1.0 to track RFC3942. This
1909 broke a lot of legacy site local configurations. The new code in place will
1910 track site local space minimum option codes and logs a warning to encourage
1911 updates and exploration of site local code migration problems. Option
1912 codes less than 128 in site local spaces remain inaccessible.
1913
1914- A possible relay agent option bug was repaired where random server
1915 initialization state may have been used to signal the relay agent
1916 information options sub-option code for the 'END' of the option space.

57fcb8d9
SK
1922- When server is configured with options that it overrides, a warning is
1923 issued when the configuration file is read, rather than at the time the
1924 option is overridden. This was important, because the warning was given
9a111ee8 1925 every time the option was overridden, which could create a lot of
57fcb8d9
SK
1926 unnecessary logging.

1931- When a failover server suspects it has encountered a peer running a
1932 version 3.0.x failover server, a warning that the failover wire protocol

e32529a5
EH
1956- dhc6_lease_destroy() and dhc6_ia_destroy() now set lease and IA pointers
1957 to NULL after freeing, to prevent subsequent accesses to freed memory.
1958
9a111ee8 1959- The DHCPv6 server would not send the preference option unless the
76db44f9
SK
1960 client requested it, via the ORO. This has been fixed, so the DHCPv6
1961 server will always send the preference value if it is configured.
e4a6be15 1962
9a111ee8
TM
1963- When addresses were passed as hints to the server in an IA, they were
1964 incorrectly handled, sometimes being treated as an error. Now the

SK
1965 server will treat these as hints and ignore them if it cannot supply
1966 a requested address.
1967
703873ab
DH
1968- If the client had multiple addresses, and one expired (was not renewed
1969 by the server), the client would continue to attempt to renew the same
1970 old address over and over. Now, the client will omit any expired
1971 addresses from future Confirm, Renew, or Rebind messages.
1972
1973- dhclient -6 will now select renew/rebind timers based upon the longest
1974 address expiration time rather than the shortest expiration time, in
1975 order to avoid cascading renewals in the event a server elects not to
1976 extend one of multiple IAADDR leases.

2197 Changes since 3.1.0 (NEW FEATURES)
2198
2199- DHCPv6 Client and Server protocol support. Use '-6' to run the daemons
2200 as v6-only. Use '-4' to run the daemons as v4-only (default. There is
2201 no support currently for both.
2202
2203- Server support for multiple IA_NA options, containing at most one
2204 IAADDR option.
2205
2206- Client support for one IA_NA option, containing any number of IAADDR
2207 options.
2208
2209- Server support for the DHCPv6 Information-request message.
2210
2211- Inappropriate unicast DHCPv6 messages sent to the server are now
2212 discarded, and this has rearchitected the IO system slightly.
2213
2214- The DHCPv6 server DUID defaults to type 1, is persistently stored in
2215 the leases database, and can be over-ridden (either completely, or by
2216 specifying type 1 or type 2).
2217
2218- The server only uses Rapid-Commit if it has been configured with the
2219 Rapid-Commit option and the client requests it.
2220
2221- DDNS support. We now update AAAA records in the same place we would
2222 update A records, if we have an IPv6 address. We also generate IP6.ARPA
2223 style names for PTR records if we're dealing with an IPv6 address. Both
2224 A and AAAA updates are done using the same 'fqdn.' virtual option space
2225 (although the DHCPv4 FQDN and DHCPv6 FQDN options are formatted
2226 differently, they both use the same code here).
2227
2228- The Linux dhclient-script attempts to set and remove assigned addresses,
2229 and to configure /etc/resolv.conf from nameserver and domain name
2230 configurations. It can be extended to configure other parameters.
2231
2232- Initial DHCPv6 lease support.
2233
2234- The IO system now tracks all local IP addresses, so that the DHCP
2235 applications (particularly the dhcrelay) can discern between what frames
2236 were transmitted to it, and what frames are being carried through it which
2237 it should not intercept.
2238

DH
2239 Changes since 3.1.0 (Maintenance)
2240
2241- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for virgin leases always
2242 mapped to the primary. Virgin leases now have an interleaved preference
2243 between primary and secondary.
2244
2245- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for clients with no client
2246 identifier was sometimes mishashed to the peer. Load balancing during
2247 runtime and pool rebalancing were opposing.
2248
aa3e348e
DH
2249- An assertion in lease counting relating to reserved leases was repaired.
2250
e9c59645
DH
2251- The subnet-mask option inclusion now conforms with RFC2132 section 3.3;
2252 it will only appear prior to the routers option if it is present on the
2253 Parameter-Request-List. The subnet-mask option will also only be
2254 included by default (if it is not on the PRL) in response to DISCOVER
2255 or REQUEST messages.
2256
2257- The FQDN option is only supplied if the client supplied an FQDN option or
2258 if the FQDN option was explicitly requested on the PRL.

2265 failover protected subnets was removed.
2266
a512cc3a
DH
2267 Changes since 3.1.0b2
2268
2269- Failover rebalance events no longer play ping pong with round errors
2270 (moving leases between free and back to backup where there are an
2271 odd number of leases).
2272
2273- The 'pool' log line has been split into two messages, one before the
2274 rebalance run, and one after.
2275
2276- Any queued BNDACKs are transmitted before transmitting new BNDUPDs.
2277 This enforces the correct sequence of events for the remote server
2278 processing these messages.

2283 objects.
2284
1ba87b37
EH
2285- A new server config option "fqdn-reply" specifies whether the server
2286 should send out option 81 (FQDN). Defaults to "on". If set to "off",
2287 the FQDN option is not sent, even if the client requested it. This is
2288 needed because some clients misbehave otherwise. Thanks to Christof Chen
2289 at Allianz.

2291- Allow trace output files (-tf option) to be overwritten, rather than
2292 crashing dhcpd if the file already exists

2295 outside the scope of a subnet in dhcpd.conf.

2297- Some uninitialized values were repaired in dhcpleasequery.c that
2298 caused the server to abort.
2299
4d2eaafb
DH
2300- A new server config option, 'do-reverse-updates', has been added
2301 which causes the server to abstain from performing updates on PTR
2302 records. Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen at Allianz.

2334 hash table was repaired.
2335
616d67cb
DH
2336- The servers now try harder to transmit pending binding updates when
2337 entering normal state.
2338
2339- UPDREQ/UPDREQALL handling was optimized - it no longer dequeues and
2340 requeues all pending updates. This should reduce the number of spurious
66c8f734
DH
2341 'xid mismatch' log messages.
2342
2343- An option definition referencing leak was fixed, which resulted in early
2344 termination of dhclient upon the renewal event.
616d67cb 2345
6708d944
DH
2346- Some default hash table sizes were tweaked, some upwards, some downwards.
2347 3.1.0a1's tables resulted in a reduction in default server memory use.
2348 The new selected values provide more of a zero sum (increasing the size
2349 of tables likely to be populated, decreasing the size of tables unlikely).
2350
45d545f0 2351- Lease structures appear in three separate hashes: by IP address, by UID,
6708d944
DH
2352 and by hardware address. One type of table was used for all three, and
2353 improvements to IP address hashing were applied to all three (so UID and
2354 hardware addresses were treated like 4-byte integers). There are now two
2355 types of tables, and the uid/hw hashes use functions more appropriate
2356 to their needs.
2357
2358- The max-lease-misbalance percentage no longer causes scheduled rebalance
2359 runs to be skipped: it still governs the schedule, but every scheduled
2360 run will attempt balance.
2361
a7ee93fe
DH
2362- A segfault bug in recursive encapsulation support has been corrected.
2363
98311e4b
DH
2364 Changes since 3.0 (New Features)
2365
2366- A workaround for certain STSN servers that send a mangled domain-name
2367 option was introduced for dhclient. The client will now accept corrupted
2368 server responses, if they contain a valid DHCP_MESSAGE_TYPE (OFFER, ACK,
2369 or NAK). The server will continue to not accept corrupt client packets.
2370
98bd7ca0 2371- Support for 'reserved' (pseudo-static) and BOOTP leases via failover
a55ccdd0 2372 was introduced.
98311e4b
DH
2373
2374- Support for adding, removing, and managing class and subclass statements
2375 via OMAPI.
2376
a55ccdd0
DH
2377- The failover implementation was updated to comply with revision 12 of
2378 the protocol draft.
2379
98311e4b
DH
2380- 'make install' now creates the initial zero-length dhcpd.leases file if
2381 one does not already exist on the system.
2382
b43c87ad 2383- RFC3942 compliance, site-local option spaces start at 224 now, not 128.
b43c87ad 2384
0b17f049
DH
2385- The Load Balance Algorithm was misimplemented. The current implementation
2386 matches RFC 3074.
2387
2727c1cf
DH
2388- lcase() and ucase() configuration expressions have been added which adjust
2389 their arguments from upper to lower and lower to upper cases respectively.
2714a8ef 2390 Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
2727c1cf 2391
febbd402
DH
2392- The dhclient 'reject ...;' statement, which rejects leases given by named
2393 server-identifiers, now permits address ranges to be specified in CIDR
7d7073e7 2394 notation. Thanks to a patch from David Boyce.
febbd402 2395
ee912528
DH
2396- The subnet-mask option is now supplied by default, but at lowest
2397 priority. This helps a small minority of clients that provide parameter
2398 request lists, but do not list the subnet-mask option because they were
2399 designed to interoperate with a server that behaves in this manner.
2400
2401- The FQDN option is similarly supplied even if it does not appear on the
2402 parameter request list, but not to the exclusion of options that do
2403 appear at the parameter request list. Up until now it had ultimate
2404 priority over the client's parameter request list.
2405
f7fdb216 2406- Varying option space code and length bit widths (8/16/32) are now
51202707 2407 supported. This is a milestone in achieving RFC 3925 "VIVSO" and
f7fdb216
DH
2408 DHCPv6 support.
2409
5e864416
DH
2410- A new common (server or client) option, 'db-time-format local;', has
2411 been added which prints the local time in /var/db/dhcpd.leases rather
2412 than UTC. Thanks to a patch from Ken Lalonde.
2413
b500bd4c
DH
2414- Some patches to improve DHCP Server startup speed from Andrew Matheson
2415 have been incorporated.
2416
2426234f
DH
2417- Failover pairs now implement 'MAC Affinity' on leases moving from the
2418 active to free states. Leases that belonged to the failover secondary
2419 are moved to BACKUP state rather than FREE upon exiting EXPIRED state.
2420 If lease rebalancing must move leases, it tries first to move leases
2421 that belong to the peer in need.
2422
2423- The server no longer sends POOLREQ messages unless the pool is severely
2424 misbalanced in the peer's favor (see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more details).
2425
2426- Pool rebalance events no longer happen upon successfully allocating a
2427 lease. Instead, they happen on a schedule. See 'man dhcpd.conf' for the
2428 min-balance and max-balance statements for more information.
2429
334bf491
DH
2430- The DHCP Relay Agent Information Option / Link Selection Sub-Option
2431 is now supported. (See RFC3527 for details).
2432
3004bebf
DH
2433- A new DDNS related server option, update-conflict-detection, has been
2434 added. If this option is enabled, dhcpd will perform normal DHCID
2435 conflict resolution (the default). If this option is disabled, it will
2436 instead trust the assigned name implicitly (removing any other bindings
2437 on that name). This option has not been made available in dhclient.
2438
567e8561
DH
2439- In those cases where the DHCP software manufactures an IP header (to
2440 transmit via bpf, lpf, etc), the IP TTL the software selects has been
2441 increased from 16 to 128. This is intended to match Microsoft Windows
2442 DHCP Client behaviour, to increase compatibility.
2443
a396d25f
DH
2444- 'ignore client-updates;' now has behaviour that is different from
2445 'deny client-updates;'. The client's request is not truly ignored,
2446 rather it is encouraged. Should this value be configured, the server
2447 updates DNS as though client-updates were set to 'deny'. That is, it
2448 enters into DNS whatever it is configured to do already, provided it is
2449 configured to. Then it sends a response to the client that lets the
2450 client believe it is performing client updates (which it will), probably
2451 for a different name. In essence, this lets the client do as it will,
2452 ignoring this aspect of their request.
2453
dba5803b
DH
2454- Support for compressed 'domain name list' style DHCP option contents, and
2455 in particular the domain search option (#119) was added.
2456
41e45067 2457- The DHCP LEASEQUERY protocol as defined in RFC4388 is now implemented.
6d103865
SK
2458 LEASEQUERY lets you query the DHCP server for information about a lease,
2459 using either an IP address, MAC address, or client identifier. Thanks
2460 to a patch from Justin Haddad.
2461
41e45067
DH
2462- DHCPD is now RFC2131 section 4.1 compliant (broadcast to all-ones ip and
2463 ethernet mac address) on the SCO platform specifically without any strange
2464 ifconfig hacks. Many thanks go to the Kroger Co. for donating the
2465 hardware and funding the development.
6d103865 2466
b543fea9
DH
2467- A new common configuration executable statement, execute(), has been
2468 added. This permits dhcpd or dhclient to execute a named external
2469 program with command line arguments specified from other configuration
2470 language. Thanks to a patch written by Mattias Ronnblom, gotten to us
2471 via Robin Breathe.
2472
b22de500
DH
2473- A new dhcp server option 'adaptive-lease-time-threshold' has been added
2474 which causes the server to substantially reduce lease-times if there are
2475 few (configured percentage) remaining leases. Thanks to a patch submitted
2476 from Christof Chen.
2477

SK
2478- Encapsulated option spaces within encapsulated option spaces is now
2479 formally supported.

DH
2481 Changes since 3.0.6rc1

2483- supersede_lease() now requeues leases in their respective hardware
2484 address hash bucket. This mirrors client identifier behaviour.

DH
2486 Changes since 3.0.5
2487
f546c28b
DH
2488- Assorted fixes for broken network devices: Packet length is now
2489 determined from the IP header length field to finally calculate the
2490 UDP payload length, because some NIC drivers return more data than
5a22eb63 2491 they actually received.
f546c28b
DH
2492
2493- UDP packets are now stored in aligned data structures.
2494
c1e6c832
DH
2495- A logic error in omapi interface code was repaired that might result in
2496 incorrectly indicating 'up' state when any flags were set, rather than
23e10d37
DH
2497 specifically the INTERFACE_REQUESTED flag. Thanks to a patch from
2498 Jochen Voss which got to us via Andrew Pollock at Debian.
c1e6c832 2499

DH
2500- A reference leak on binding scopes set by ddns updates was repaired.
2501
d69fb6a8 2502- A memory leak in the minires_nsendsigned() function call was repaired.
23e10d37 2503 Effectively, this leaked ~176 bytes per DDNS update.
d69fb6a8 2504
02428754
DH
2505- In the case where an "L2" DHCP Relay Agent (one that does not set giaddr)
2506 was directly attached to the same broadcast domain as the DHCP server,
2507 the RFC3046 relay agent information option was not being returned to the
2508 relay in the server's replies. This was fixed; the dhcp server no longer
2509 requires the giaddr to reply with relay agent information. Note that
2510 this also improves compatibility with L2 devices that "intercept" DHCP
2511 packets and expect relay agent information even in unicast (renewal)
23e10d37
DH
2512 replies. Thanks to a patch from Pekka Silvonen.
2513
2514- A bug was fixed where the BOOTP header 'sname' field had a value, the
2515 copy written to persistent storage was actually the contents of the
2516 'file' field.
02428754 2517
ecde99a3
DH
2518- A bug was fixed where the nwip virtual option space was referencing
2519 the fqdn option's virtual option space's option cache.

DH
2521- Timestamp parsing errors that indicated missing "minutes" fields rather
2522 than the actually missing "seconds" fields have been repaired thanks to
2523 a patch from Kevin Steves.

2525- A grammar error in the dhclient.8 manpage was repaired thanks to a patch
2526 from Chris Wagner.

DH
2528- Several spelling typos were repaired, and some cross-references to other
2529 relevant documents were included in the manpages, thanks to a patch
2530 by Andrew Pollock which got to us via Tomas Pospisek.
2531
9aa3f3a5
DH
2532- Some bugs were fixed in the 'emergency relay agent options hologram'
2533 which is used to retain relay agent option contents from when the
2534 client was in INIT or REBIND states. This should solve problems where
2535 relay agent options were not echoed from the server, even when giaddr
2536 was set.
2537

DH
2538- dhclient now closes its descriptor to dhclient.leases prior to executing
2539 dhclient-script. Thanks to a patch from Tomas Pospisek.
2540
d5b6835f
DH
2541- The server's "by client-id" and "by hardware address" hash table lists
2542 are now sorted according to the preference to re-allocate that lease to
2543 returning clients. This should eliminate pool starvation problems
2544 arising when "INIT" clients were given new leases rather than presently
2545 active ones.
2546
02428754 2547 Changes since 3.0.5rc1
0a73b7b6 2548
901306d5 2549- A bug was repaired in fixes to the dhclient, which sought to run the
0a73b7b6
SK
2550 dhclient-script with the 'EXPIRE' state should it receive a NAK in
2551 response to a REQUEST. The client now iterates the PREINIT state
2552 after the EXPIRE state, so that interfaces that might be configured
2553 'down' can be brought back 'up' and initialized.
2554
87a08ccc
DH
2555- DHCPINFORM handling for clients that properly set ciaddr and come to the
2556 server via a relay aget has been repaired.

DH
2558 Changes since 3.0.4
2559
2560- A warning that host statements declared within subnet or shared-network
2561 scopes are actually global has been added.
2562
2563- The default minimum lease time (if min-lease-time was not specified)
2564 was raised from 0 to 300. 0 is not thought to be sensible, and is
2565 known to be damaging.
2566
2567- Added additional fatal error sanity checks surrounding lease binding
2568 state count calculations (free/active counts used for failover pool
2569 balancing).
2570
dcc557db
DH
2571- Some time value size fixes in 3.0.4 brought on from FreeBSD /usr/ports were
2572 misapplied to server values rather than client values. The server no longer
2573 advertises 8-byte lease-time options when on 64-bit platforms.
2574
1b2ab55f
DH
2575- A bug where leases not in ACTIVE state would get billed to billed classes
2576 (classes with lease limitations) was fixed. Non-active leases OFFERed
2577 to clients are no longer billed (but billing is checked before offering).
2578
e48891e8
DH
2579- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated in regard to the ddns-domainname
2580 configuration option - the default configuration and results should be
2581 more clear now.
2582
6cbc6629
DH
2583- If the dhclient were to receive a DHCPNAK while it was in the RENEW
2584 state (and consequently, had an active, 'bound' address and related
2585 configuration options), it would fail to 'tear down' this information
2586 before proceeding into INIT state. dhclient now iterates the dhclient-
2587 script with the 'EXPIRE' action to cause these teardowns prior to entering
1d3bfb17 2588 INIT state. Thanks to a patch from Chris Zimmerman.
6cbc6629 2589
c5fec5fa
DH
2590- The omapi.1 manpage had some formatting errors repaired thanks to a patch
2591 from Yoshihiko Sarumaru.
2592
33e1cb2b
DH
2593- A few lines of code that were failover-specific were moved within
2594 #if defined() clauses so that compilation without failover could be
2595 made possible.
2596
2bddf829
DH
2597- The log message emitted when the 'leased-address' value was not available
2598 in dhcpd.conf "executable statements" has been updated to be more helpful.
2599 Manpage information for this value has also been updated.
2600
87578987
DH
2601- Abandoned or dissociated (err condition) leases now remove any related
2602 dynamic dns bindings. Thanks to a patch from Patrick Schoo.
2603
e77c575f
DH
2604- Attempting to write a new lease file to replace a corrupt (due to
2605 encountering non-retryable errors during writing) lease file should
2606 no longer result in an infinite recursion.
2607
2178df03
DH
2608- Host declaration hardware addresses and client identifiers may only be
2609 configured once. dhcpd will now fail to load config files that specify
2610 multiple identifiers (previous versions would silently over-ride the
2611 value with the later configured value).
2612
d5341d9b
SK
2613- Several option codes that have been allocated since our last release
2614 have been named and documented.
2615
2616- Option names of the form "unknown-123" have been removed from the in-
2617 memory hash tables. In order to support options of these names that
2618 may appear in dhclient.leases or similar in previous versions, the
2619 parser will now find the new option code definition, or mock up a
2620 generic option code definition. This should result in a smooth
2621 transition from one name to the other, as the new name is used to
2622 write new output.
2623

DH
2624 Changes since 3.0.4rc1
2625
2626- The dhcp-options.5 manpage was updated to correct indentation errors
2627 thanks to a patch from Jean Delvare.
2628
2629 Changes since 3.0.4b3

2631- Some manual pages were clarified pursuant to discussion on the dhcp-server
2632 mailing list.
2633
88cd8aca
DH
2634 Changes since 3.0.4b2
2635
45d545f0 2636- Null-termination sensing for certain clients that unfortunately require
88cd8aca
DH
2637 it in DHCPINFORM processing was repaired.
2638
2639- The host-name option and a few others were moved from "X" format to "t"
2640 format to be compatible with new NULL handling functions.
2641
2642- DHCPINFORM processing is a little more careful about return addressing
2643 its responses, or if responding via a relay. The INFORM related
2644 messages also log the 'effective client ip address' rather than the
2645 client's supplied ciaddr (since some clients produce null ciaddrs).
2646
2647- The server was inappropriately sending leases to the RESET state in the
2648 event that multiple active leases were found to match a singly-identified
2649 client. This was changed to RELEASED (by accepting a different, ACTIVE
2650 binding, the client is implicitly releasing its lease). This repairs a
2651 bug wherein secondary servers in failover pairs detecting this condition
2652 move leases to RESET, and primaries refuse to accept that state
2653 transition (properly).
2654
2655- The memset-after-dmalloc() changes made in 3.0.4b1 have been backed out.
2656
2657 Changes since 3.0.4b1
2658
2659- Command line parsing in omshell was repaired - it no longer closes
2660 STDIN after reading one line.
2661
2662- The resolver library no longer closes the /etc/resolv.conf file
2663 descriptor it opened twice.
2664
2665- Changes to trailing NULL removal in 't' option-atoms has been rethought,
2666 it now includes 'd' (domain name) types, and tries hard not to rewind an
2667 option beyond the start of the text field it is un-terminating.
2668
2669 Changes since 3.0.3
2670
2671- A DDNS update handling function was misusing the DNS error codes, rather
2672 than the internal generic result enumeration. The result is a confusing
2673 syslog line, logging the wrong condition.
2674
2675- The DHCP Server was not checking pool balance in the case where it brought
2676 a non-ACTIVE lease out of storage for a client that was returning to use
2677 a lease it once had long ago, and had since expired.
2678
2679- Failover peers no longer bother to look for free leases to allocate when
2680 they already found the client's ACTIVE lease. DISCOVERs are load balanced
98bd7ca0 2681 whether freely-allocated or not, unless the server doubts the peer has
88cd8aca
DH
2682 leases to allocate.
2683
2684- Fixed a bug in dhcrelay agent addition code that suppressed trailing
45d545f0 2685 PAD options - it was suppressing only one trailing PAD option, rather
88cd8aca
DH
2686 than the entire block of them.
2687
3a16098f
DH
2688! Fixed some unlikely overlapping-region memcpy() bugs in dhcrelay agent
2689 option addition and stripping code. Added a few sanity checks. Although
2690 highly improbable, due to requiring the reception of a DHCP datagram well
2691 in excess of all known to be used physical MTU limitations, it is possible
2692 this may have been used in a stack overflow security vulnerability. Thanks
2693 to a patch from infamous42md.
2694
2695! Added some sanity checks to OMAPI connection/authentication code.
2696 Although highly improbable, due to having to deliver in excess of 2^32
2697 bytes of data via the OMAPI channel, not to mention requiring dhcpd to
2698 be able to malloc() a memory region 2^32 bytes in size, it was possible
2699 this might have resulted in a heap overflow security vulnerability.
2700 Thanks to a patch from infamous42md.
88cd8aca
DH
2701
2702- dmalloc() memset()'s the non-debug (data) portion of the allocated
2703 memory to zero. Code that memset()'s the result returned by dmalloc() to
2704 zero is redundant. These redundancies were removed.
2705
2706- Some type declaration corrections to u_int16_t were made in common/tr.c
4b97eaff 2707 (Token Ring support) thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
88cd8aca
DH
2708
2709- A failover bug that was allowing leases that EXPIRED or were RELEASED
2710 where tsfp and tstp are identical timestamps to languish in these
2711 transitional states has been repaired. As a side effect, lease
2712 databases should be kept more consistent overall, not just for these
2713 transitional states.
2714
2715- If the lease db is deleted out from under the daemon, and it moves to rewrite
2716 the db, it will go ahead with the operation and move the new db into place
2717 once it detects the old db does not exist.
2718
2719- dhclient now ignores IRDA, SIT, and IEEE1394 network interfaces, as it
2720 is either nonsensical or (in the case of IEEE1394) is not known to support
2721 these interfaces. Thanks to Marius Gedminas and Andrew Pollock of Debian.
2722
2723- Some previously undocumented reasons for dhclient-script invoking has
45d545f0 2724 been documented in the dhclient-script.8 manpage.
88cd8aca
DH
2725
2726- Failover potential expiry calculations (TSTP) have been corrected. Results
2727 should be substantially more consistent, and proper given the constraints.
2728
2729- Adjusted lease state validation checks in potential-conflict, to
2730 account for possible clock skew similarly to normal state, and several
2731 previously illegal transitions were made legal (ex: active->released).
2732
2733- An impossible sanity check was removed from omapi/buffer.c, thanks to a
2734 patch from 'infamous42md'.
2735
2736- An OMAPI host/network byte order problem in lease time values has been
2737 repaired.
2738
2739- Several minor bugs, largely relating to treating 8-byte time values as
2740 4-byte entities, have been repaired after careful review of the FreeBSD
2741 ports collection's patch set. Thanks to the nameless entities who have
2742 contributed to the FreeBSD ports.
2743
2744- When writing a trace file, the file is now created with permissions 0600,
2745 to help administrators avoid accidentally publicising sensitive config
2746 data.
2747
2748- The calculation of the maximum size of DHCP packets no longer includes
2749 Ethernet framing overhead. The result is that the 'Maximum Message
2750 Size' option advertised by clients, or the default value 576, is no
2751 longer reduced by 14 bytes, and instead directly reflects the IP level
2752 MTU (and the default, minimum allowed IP MTU of 576).
2753
2754- The special status of RELEASED/EXPIRED/RESET leases when a server
2755 is operating in partner-down was fixed. It no longer requires a
2756 lease be twice the MCLT beyond STOS to 'reallocate', and the expiry
2757 event to turn these into FREE leases without peer acknowledgement
2758 (after STOS+MCLT) has been repaired.
2759
2760- Compilation on older Solaris systems (lacking /usr/include/sys/int_types.h)
2761 has been repaired.
2762
2763- "append"ing a string onto the end of a "t" type option (such as the
2764 domain-name field) that had been improperly NULL-terminated by the
2765 DHCP server will no longer result in a truncated string containing
2766 only the option from the server, and not the expected appended value.
4b97eaff 2767 Thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
88cd8aca
DH
2768
2769- File handlers on configuration state (config files and lease dbs) should
98bd7ca0 2770 be treated consistently, regardless of whether TRACING is defined or not.
88cd8aca 2771
45d545f0 2772- The Linux build environment has had some minor improvements - better
88cd8aca
DH
2773 sensing of 64-bit pointer sizes (only used for establishing an icmp_id),
2774 and corrections to #if operators regarding LINUX_MAJOR should it ever
2775 move to 3.[01].x.
2776
2777- The server now tries harder to survive the condition where it is unable
2778 to open a new lease file to rewrite the lease state database.

2780 Changes since 3.0.3b3
2781
2782- dhclient.conf documentation for interface {} was updated to reflect recent
2783 discussion on the dhcp-hackers mailing list.
2784
2785- In response to reports that the software does not compile on GCC 4.0.0,
2786 -Werror was removed from Makefile.conf for all platforms that used it.
2787 We will address the true problem in a future release; this is a temporary
2788 workaround.
2789
2790 Changes since 3.0.3b2
2791
2792- An error in code changes introduced in 3.0.3b2 was corrected, which caused
2793 static BOOTP clients to receive random addresses.
2794
2795 Changes since 3.0.3b1
2796
2797- A bug was fixed in BOOTPREQUEST handling code wherein stale references to
2798 host records would be left behind on leases that were not allocated to the
2799 client currently booting (eg in the case where the host was denied booting).
2800
2801- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated to be more clear in regards to
2802 multiple host declarations (thanks to Vincent McIntyre). 'Interim' style
2803 dynamic updates were also retouched.

DH
2805 Changes since 3.0.2
2806
2807- A bug was fixed where a server might load balance a DHCP REQUEST to its
45d545f0 2808 peer after already choosing not to load balance the preceding DISCOVER.
98311e4b
DH
2809 The peer cannot allocate the originating server's lease.
2810
2811- In the case where a secondary server lost its stable storage while the
2812 primary was still in communications-interrupted, and came back online,
2813 the lease databases would not be fully transferred to the secondary.
2814 This was due to the secondary errantly sending an extra UPDREQ message
2815 when the primary made its state transition to PARTNER-DOWN known.
2816
2817- The package will now compile cleanly in gcc 3.3 and 3.4. As a side effect,
2818 lease structures will be 9 bytes smaller on all platforms. Thanks to
4b97eaff 2819 Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
2820
2821- Interface discovery code in DISCOVER_UNCONFIGURED mode is now
2822 properly restricted to only detecting broadcast interfaces. Thanks
4b97eaff 2823 to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
2824
2825- decode_udp_ip_header was changed so that the IP address was copied out
2826 to a variable, rather than referenced by a pointer. This enforces 4-byte
2827 alignment of the 32-bit IP address value. Thanks to a patch from Dr.
2828 Peter Poeml.
2829
2830- An incorrect log message was corrected thanks to a patch from
2831 Dr. Peter Poeml.

2833- A bug in DDNS was repaired, where if the server's first DDNS action was
2834 a DDNS removal rather than a DDNS update, the resolver library's
2835 retransmit timer and retry timer was set to the default, implying a
2836 15 second timeout interval. Which is a little excessive in a synchronous,
2837 single-threaded system. In all cases, ISC DHCP should now hold fast to
2838 a 1-second timeout, trying only once.
2839
2840- The siaddr field was being improperly set to the server-identifier when
2841 responding to DHCP messages. RFC2131 clarified the siaddr field as
2842 meaning the 'next server in the bootstrap process', eg a tftp server.
2843 The siaddr field is now left zeroed unless next-server is configured.
2844
2845- mockup_lease() could have returned in an error condition (or in the
2846 condition where no fixed-address was found matching the shared
2847 network) with stale references to a host record. This is probably not
2848 a memory leak since host records generally never die anyway.
2849
2850- A bug was repaired where failover servers would let stale client identifiers
2851 persist on leases that were reallocated to new clients not sending an id.
2852
2853- Binding scopes ("set var = value;") are now removed from leases allocated
2854 by failover peers if the lease had expired. This should help reduce the
2855 number of stale binding scopes on leases.
2856
2857- A small memory leak was closed involving client identifiers larger than
2858 7 bytes, and failover.
2859
2860- Configuring a subnet in dhcpd.conf with a subnet mask of 32 bits might
2861 cause an internal function to overflow heap. Thanks to Jason Vas Dias
4b97eaff 2862 at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
2863
2864- Some inconsistencies in treating numbers that the lexer parsed as 'NUMBER'
2865 or 'NUMBER_OR_NAME' was repaired. Hexadecimal parsing is affected, and
2866 should work better.
2867
2868- In several cases, parse warnings were being issued before the lexical
2869 token had been advanced to the token whose value was causing an error...
2870 causing parse warnings to claim the problem is on the wrong token.
2871
2872- Host declarations matching on client identifier for dynamic leases will
2873 no longer match fixed-address host declarations (this is now identical
2874 to behaviour for host records matching on hardware address).
2875
2876 Changes since 3.0.2rc3
2877
2878- A previously undocumented configuration directive, 'local-address',
2879 was documented in the dhcpd.conf manpage.
2880
2881 Changes since 3.0.2rc2
2882
45d545f0 2883- Two variables introduced in 3.0.2b1 were used without being initialized
98311e4b
DH
2884 in the case where neither the FILE nor SNAME fields were available for
2885 overloading. This was repaired.
2886
2887- A heretofore believed to be impossible corner case of the option
2888 overloading implementation turned out to be possible ("Unable to sort
2889 overloaded options after 10 tries."). The implementation was reworked
2890 to consider the case of an option so large it would require more than
2891 three chunks to fit.
2892
2893- Many other instances of variables being used without being initialized
2894 were repaired.
2895
2896- An uninitialized variable in omapi_io_destroy() led to the discovery
2897 that this function may result in orphaned pointers (and hence, a memory
2898 leak).
2899
2900 Changes since 3.0.2rc1
2901
2902- allocate_lease() was rewritten to repair a bug in which the server would
2903 try to allocate an ABANDONED lease when FREE leases were available.
2904
2905 Changes since 3.0.2b1
2906
2907- Some dhcp-eval.5 manpage formatting was repaired.
2908
2909 Changes since 3.0.1
2910
2911- A bug was fixed in the server's 'option overloading' implementation,
2912 where options loaded into the 'file' and 'sname' packet fields were
2913 not aligned precisely as rfc2131 dictates.
2914
2915- The FreeBSD client script was changed to support the case where a domain
2916 name was not provided by the server.
2917
2918- A memory leak in 'omshell' per each command line parsed was
2919 repaired, thanks to a patch from Jarkko Torppa.
2920
2921- Log functions writing to stderr were adjusted to use the STDERR_FILENO
2922 system definition rather than '2'. This is a no-op for 90% of platforms.
2923
2924- One call to trace_write_packet_iov() counted the number of io vectors
2925 incorrectly, causing inconsistent tracefiles. This was fixed.
2926
2927- Some expression parse failure memory leaks were closed.
2928
2929- A host byte order problem in tracefiles was repaired.
2930
2931- Pools configured in DHCPD for failover possessing permission lists that
adb95d23 2932 previously were assumed to not include dynamic bootp clients are now
98311e4b
DH
2933 a little more pessimistic. The result is, dhcpd will nag you about just
2934 about most pools that possess a 'allow' statement with no 'deny' that
2935 would definitely match a dynamic bootp client.
2936
2937- The 'ddns-update-style' configuration warning bit now insists that
2938 the configuration be globally scoped.
2939
2940- Two memory leaks in dhclient were closed thanks to a patch from Felix
2941 Farkas.
2942
2943- Some minor but excellently pedantic documentation errors were fixed
2944 thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
2945
2946- Bugs in operator precedence in executable statements have been repaired
2947 once again. More legal syntaxes should be parsed legally.
2948
2949- Failing to initialize a tracefile for any reason if a tracefile was
2950 specified is now a fatal error. Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
2951
2952- Corrected a bug in which the number of leases transferred as calculated
2953 by the failover primary and sent to peers in POOLRESP responses may be
2954 incorrect. This value is not believed to be used by other failover
2955 implementations, excepting perhaps as logged information.
2956
2957- Corrected a bug in which 'dhcp_failover_send_poolresp()' was in fact
2958 sending POOLREQ messages instead of POOLRESP mesasges. This message
2959 was essentially ignored since failover secondaries effectively do not
2960 respond to POOLREQ messages.
2961
2962- Type definitions for various bitwidths of integers in the sunos5-5
2963 build of ISC DHCP have been fixed. It should compile and run more
2964 easily when built in 64-bit for this platform.
2965
2966- "allow known-clients;" is now a legal syntax, to avoid confusion.
2967
2968- If one dhcp server chooses to 'load balance' a request to its failover
2969 peer, it first checks to see if it believes said peer has a free
2970 lease to allocate before ignoring the DISCOVER.
2971
2972- log() was logging a work buffer, rather than the value returned by
2973 executing the statements configured by the user. In some cases,
2974 the work buffer and the intended results were the same. In some other
2975 cases, they were not. This was fixed thanks to a patch from Gunnar
2976 Fjone and directconnect.no.
2977
2978- Compiler warnings for some string type conversions was fixed, thanks
2979 to Andreas Gustafsson.
2980
2981- The netbsd build environments were simplified to one, in which
2982 -Wconversion is not used, thanks to Andreas Gustafsson.
2983
2984- How randomness in the backoff-cutoff dhclient configuration variable
2985 is implemented was better documented in the manpage, and the behaviour
2986 of dhclient in REQUEST timeout handling was changed to match that of
2987 DISCOVER timeout handling.
2988
2989- Omapi was hardened against clients that pass in null values, thanks
2990 to a patch from Mark Jason Dominus.
2991
2992- A bug was fixed in dhclient that kept it from doing client-side
2993 ddns updates. Thanks to a patch from Andreas Gustafsson, which
2994 underwent some modification after review by Jason Vas Dias.
2995
2996- Failover implementations disconnected due to the network between
2997 them (rather than one of the two shutting down) will now try to
2998 re-establish the failover connection every 5 seconds, rather than
2999 to simply try once and give up until one of them is restarted.
3000 Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from Infoblox, and field testing
3001 by Greger V. Teigre which led to an enhancement to it.
3002
3003- A problem that kept DHCP Failover secondaries from tearing down
3004 ddns records was repaired. Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from
3005 Infoblox.
3006
3007- 64bit pointer sizes are detected properly on FreeBSD now.
3008
3009- A bug was repaired where the DHCP server would leave stale references
3010 to host records on leases it once thought about offering to certain
3011 clients. The result would be to apply host and 'known' scopes to the
3012 wrong clients (possibly denying booting). NOTE: The 'mis-host' patch
3013 that was being circulated as a workaround is not the way this bug was
3014 fixed. If you were a victim of this bug in 3.0.1, you are cautioned
3015 to proceed carefully and see if it fixes your problem.
3016
3017- A bug was repaired in the server's DHCPINFORM handling, where it
3018 tried to divine the client's address from the source packet and
3019 would get it wrong. Thanks to Anshuman Singh Rawat.
3020
3021- A log message was introduced to help illuminate the case where the
3022 server was unable to find a lease to assign to any BOOTP client.
3023 Thanks to Daniel Baker.
3024
3025- A minor dhcpd.conf.5 manpage error was fixed.
3026
3027 Changes since 3.0.1rc14
3028
3029- The global variable 'cur_time' was centralized and is now uniformly of a
3030 type #defined in system-dependent headers. It had previously been defined
3031 in one of many places as a 32-bit value, and this causes mayhem on 64-bit
3032 big endian systems. It probably wasn't too healthy on little endian
3033 systems either.
3034
3035- A printf format string error introduced in rc14 was repaired.
3036
3037- AIX system-dependent header file was altered to only define NO_SNPRINTF
3038 if the condition used to #ifdef in vsnprintf in AIX' header files
3039 is false.
3040
3041- The Alpha/OSF system-dependent header file was altered to define
3042 NO_SNPRINTF on OS revisions older than 4.0G.
3043
3044- omapip/test.c had string.h added to its includes.
3045
3046 Changes since 3.0.1rc13
3047
3048! CAN-2004-0460 - CERT VU#317350: Five stack overflow exploits were closed
3049 in logging messages with excessively long hostnames provided by the
3050 clients. It is highly probable that these could have been used by
3051 attackers to gain arbitrary root access on systems using ISC DHCP 3.0.1
3052 release candidates 12 or 13. Special thanks to Gregory Duchemin for
3053 both finding and solving the problem.
3054
3055! CAN-2004-0461 - CERT VU#654390: Once the above was closed, an opening
45d545f0 3056 in log_*() functions was evidenced, on some specific platforms where
98311e4b
DH
3057 vsnprintf() was not believed to be available and calls were wrapped to
3058 sprintf() instead. Again, credit goes to Gregory Duchemin for finding
3059 the problem. Calls to snprintf() are now linked to a distribution-local
3060 snprintf implementation, only in those cases where the architecture is
3061 not known to provide one (see includes/cf/[arch].h). If you experience
3062 linking problems with snprintf/vsnprintf or 'isc_print_' functions, this
3063 is where to look. This vulnerability did not exist in any previously
3064 published version of ISC DHCP.
3065
3066- Compilation on hpux 11.11 was repaired.
3067
3068- 'The cross-compile bug fix' was backed out.
3069
3070 Changes since 3.0.1rc12
3071
3072- Fixed a bug in omapi lease lookup function, to form the hardware
3073 address for the hash lookup correctly, thanks to a patch from
3074 Richard Hirst.
3075
3076- Fixed a bug where dhcrelay was sending relayed responses back to the
3077 broadcast address, but with the source's unicast mac address. Should
3078 now conform to rfc2131 section 4.1.
3079
3080- Cross-compile bug fix; use $(AR) instead of ar. Thanks to Morten Brorup.
3081
3082- Fixed a crash bug in dhclient where dhcpd servers that do not provide
3083 renewal times results in an FPE. As a side effect, dhclient can now
3084 properly handle 0xFFFFFFFF (-1) expiry times supplied by servers. Thanks
3085 to a patch from Burt Silverman.
3086
3087- The 'ping timeout' debugs from rc12 were removed to -DDEBUG only,
45d545f0 3088 and reformatted to correct a compilation error on Solaris platforms.
98311e4b
DH
3089
3090- A patch was applied which fixes a case where leases read from the
3091 leases database do not properly over-ride previously read leases.
3092
3093- dhcpctl.3 manpage was tweaked.
3094
3095 Changes since 3.0.1rc11
3096
3097- A patch from Steve Campbell was applied with minor modifications to
3098 permit reverse dns PTR record updates with values containing spaces.
3099
3100- A patch from Florian Lohoff was applied with some modifications to
3101 dhcrelay. It now discards packets whose hop count exceeds 10 by default,
3102 and a command-line option (-c) can be used to set this threshold.
3103
3104- A failover bug relating to identifying peers by name length instead of
3105 by name was fixed.
3106
45d545f0 3107- Declaring failover configs within shared-network statements should no
98311e4b
DH
3108 longer result in error.
3109
3110- The -nw command line option to dhclient now works.
3111
3112- Thanks to a patch from Michael Richardson:
3113 - Some problems with long option processing have been fixed.
3114 - Some fixes to minires so that updates of KEY records will work.
3115
3116- contrib/ms2isc was updated by Shu-Min Chang of the Intel Corporation.
3117 see contrib/ms2isc/readme.txt for revision notes.
3118
3119- Dhclient no longer uses shell commands to kill another instance of
3120 itself, it sends the signal directly. Thanks to a patch from Martin
3121 Blapp.
3122
3123- The FreeBSD dhclient-script was changed so that a failure to write to
3124 /etc/resolv.conf does not prematurely end the script. This keeps dhclient
3125 from looping infinitely when this is the case. Thanks to a patch from
3126 Martin Blapp.
3127
3128- A patch from Bill Stephens was applied which resolves a problem with lease
3129 expiry times in failover configurations.
3130
3131- A memory leak in configuration parsing was closed thanks to a patch from
3132 Steve G.
3133
3134- The function which discovers interfaces will now skip non-broadcast or
3135 point-to-point interfaces, thanks to a patch from David Brownlee.
3136
3137- Options not yet known by the dhcpd or dhclient have had their names
3138 changed such that they do not contain # symbols, in case they should ever
3139 appear in a lease file. An option that might have been named "#144" is
3140 now "unknown-144".
3141
3142- Another patch from Bill Stephens which allows the ping-check timeout to
3143 be configured as 'ping-timeout'. Defaults to 1.
3144
3145 Changes since 3.0.1rc10
3146
3147- Potential buffer overflows in minires repaired.
3148
3149- A change to the linux client script to use /bin/bash, since /bin/sh may
3150 not be bash.
3151
3152- Some missing va_end cleanups thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
3153
3154- A correction of boolean parsing syntax validation - some illegal syntaxes
3155 that worked before are now detected and produce errs, some legal syntaxes
3156 that errored before will now work properly.
3157
3158- Some search-and-replace errors that caused some options to change their
3159 names was repaired.
3160
3161- Shu-min Chang of the Intel corporation has contributed a perl script and
3162 module that converts the MS NT4 DHCP configuration to a ISC DHCP3
3163 configuration file.
3164
3165- Applied the remainder of the dhcpctl memory leak patch provided by Bill
3166 Squier at ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
3167
3168- Missing non-optional failover peer configurations will now result in a soft
3169 error rather than a null dereference.
3170
3171 Changes since 3.0.1rc9
3172
3173- A format string was corrected to fix compiler warnings.
3174
3175- A number of spelling corrections were made in the man pages.
3176
3177- The dhclient.conf.5 man page was changed to refer to do-forward-updates
3178 rather than a configuration option that doesn't exist.
3179
3180- A FreeBSD-specific bug in the interface removal handling was fixed.
3181
3182- A Linux-specific Token Ring detection problem was fixed.
3183
3184- Hashes removed from as-yet-unknown agent options, having those options
3185 appear in reality before we know about them will no longer produce
3186 self-corrupting lease databases.
3187
3188- dhclient will use the proper port numbers now when using the -g option.
3189
3190- A order-of-operations bug with 2 match clauses in 1 class statement is
3191 fixed thanks to a patch from Andrew Matheson.
3192
3193- Compilation problems on Solaris were fixed.
3194
3195- Compilation problems when built with DEBUG or DEBUG_PACKET were repaired.
3196
3197- A fix to the dhcp ack process which makes certain group options will be
3198 included in the first DHCPOFFER message was made thanks to a patch from
3199 Ling Gou.
3200
3201- A few memory leaks were repaired thanks to patches from Bill Squier at
3202 ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
3203
3204- A fix for shared-networks that sometimes give clients options for the
3205 wrong subnets (in particular, 'option routers') was applied, thanks to
3206 Ted Lemon for the patch.
3207
3208- Omshell's handling of dotted octets as values was changed such that dots
3209 one after the other produce zero values in the integer string.
3210
3211 Changes since 3.0.1rc8
3212
3213- Fix a format string vulnerability in the server that could lead to a
3214 remote root compromise (discovered by NGSEC Research Team, www.ngsec.com).
3215
3216- Add additional support for NetBSD/sparc64.
3217
3218- Fix a bug in the command-line parsing of the client. Also, resolve
3219 a memory leak.
3220
3221- Add better support for shells other than bash in the Linux client
3222 script.
3223
3224- Various build fixes for modern versions of FreeBSD and Linux.
3225
3226- Fix a bad bounds check when printing binding state names.
3227
3228- Clarify documentation about fixed-address and multiple addresses.
3229
3230- Fix a typo in the authoritative error message.
3231
3232- Make a log entry when we can't write a billing class.
3233
3234- Use conversion targets that are the right size on all architectures.
3235
3236- Increment the hop count when relaying.
3237
3238- Log a message when lease state is changed through OMAPI.
3239
3240- Don't rerun the shared_network when evaluating the pool.
3241
3242- Fix a reversed test in the parser.
3243
3244- Change the type of rbuf_max.
3245
3246- Make FTS_LAST a manifest constant to quiet warnings.
3247
3248 Changes since 3.0.1rc7
3249
3250- Fix two compiler warnings that are generated when compiling on Solaris
3251 with gcc. These stop the build, even though they weren't actually
3252 errors, because we prefer that our builds generate no warnings.
3253
3254 Changes since 3.0.1rc6
3255
3256- Don't allow a lease that's in the EXPIRED, RELEASED or RESET state
3257 to be renewed.
3258
3259- Implement lease stealing for cases where the primary has fewer leases
3260 than the secondary, as called for by the standard.
3261
3262- Add a fudge factor to the lease expiry acceptance code, (suggested
3263 by Kevin Miller of CMU).
3264
3265- Fix a bug in permit_list_match that made it much too willing to say
3266 that two permit lists matched.
3267
3268- Unless DEBUG_DNS_UPDATES is defined, print more user-friendly (and
3269 also more compact) messages about DNS updates.
3270
3271- Fix a bug in generating wire-format domain names for the FQDN option.
3272
3273- Fix a bug where the FQDN option would not be returned if the client
3274 requested it, contrary to the standard.
3275
3276- On Darwin, use the FreeBSD DHCP client script.
3277
3278- On NetBSD/sparc, don't check for casting warnings.
3279
3280- Add a flag in the DHCP client to disable updating the client's A
3281 record when sending an FQDN option indicating that the client is
3282 going to update its A record.
3283
3284- In the client, don't attempt a DNS update until one second after
3285 configuring the new IP address, and if the update times out, keep
3286 trying until a response, positive or negative, is received from the
3287 DNS server.
3288
3289- Fix an uninitialized memory bug in the DHCP client.
3290
3291- Apply some FreeBSD-specific bug fixes suggested by Murray Stokely.
3292
3293- Fix a bug in ns_parserr(), where it was returning the wrong sort
3294 of result code in some cases (suggested by Ben Harris of the
3295 NetBSD project).
3296
3297- Fix a bug in is_identifier(), where it was checking against EOF
3298 instead of the END_OF_FILE token (also suggested by Ben Harris).
3299
3300- Fix a bug where if an option universe contained no options, the
3301 DHCP server could dump core (Walter Steiner).
3302
3303- Fix a bug in the handling of encapsulated options.
3304
3305- Fix a bug that prevented NWIP suboptions from being processed.
3306
3307- Delete the FTS_BOOTP and FTS_RESERVED states and implement them
3308 as modifier flags to the FTS_ACTIVE state, as called for in the
3309 failover protocol standard.
3310
3311- Fix bugs in the pool merging code that resulted in references and
3312 dereferences of null pointers. This bug had no impact unless the
3313 POINTER_DEBUG flag was defined.
3314
3315- In the server, added a do-forward-updates flag that can be used to
3316 disable forward updates in all cases, so that sites that want the
3317 clients to take sole responsibility for updating their A record can
3318 do so.
3319
3320- Make it possible to disable optimization of PTR record updates.
3321
3322 Changes since 3.0.1rc5
3323
3324- Include some new documentation and changes provided by Karl Auer.
3325
3326- Add a workaround for some Lexmark printers that send a double-NUL-
3327 terminated host-name option, which would break DNS updates.
3328
3329- Fix an off-by-one error in the MAC-address checking code for
3330 DHCPRELEASE that was added in 3.0.1rc5.
3331
3332- Fix a bug where client-specific information was not being discarded
3333 from the lease when it expired or was released, resulting in
3334 problems if the lease was reallocated to a different client.
3335
3336- If more than one allocation pool is specified that has the same set
3337 of constraints as another allocation pool on the same shared
3338 network, merge the two pools.
3339
3340- Don't print an error in fallback_discard, since this just causes
3341 confusion and does not appear to be helping to encourage anyone to
3342 fix this bug.
3343
3344 Changes since 3.0.1rc4
3345
3346- Fix a bug that would cause the DHCP server to spin if asked to parse
3347 a certain kind of incorrect statement.
3348
3349- Fix a related bug that would prevent an error from being reported in
3350 the same case.
3351
3352- Additional documentation.
3353
3354- Make sure that the hardware address matches the lease when
3355 processing a DHCPRELEASE message.
3356
3357 Changes since 3.0.1rc3
3358
3359- A minor bug fix in the arguments to a logging function call.
3360- Documentation update for dhcpd.conf.

adbef119 3362 Changes since 3.0.1rc2

DH
3363
3364- Allow the primary to send a POOLREQ message. This isn't what the current
3365 failover draft says to do, so we may have to back it out if I can't get the
3366 authors to relent, but the scheme for balancing that's specified in the
3367 current draft seems needlessly hairy, so I'm floating a trial balloon.
3368 The rc1 code did not implement the method described in the draft either.
3369
adbef119 3370 Changes since 3.0.1rc1
98311e4b
DH
3371
3372- Treat NXDOMAIN and NXRRSET as success when we are trying to delete a
3373 domain or RRSET. This allows the DHCP server to forget about a name
3374 it added to the DNS once it's been removed, even if the DHCP server
3375 wasn't the one that removed it.
3376
3377- Install defaults for failover maximum outstanding updates and maximum
3378 silent time. This prevents problems that might occur if these values
3379 were not configured.
3380
3381- Don't do DDNS deletes if ddns-update-style is none.
3382
3383- Return relay agent information options in DHCPNAK. This prevents DHCPNAK
3384 messages from being dropped when the relay agent information option contains
3385 routing information.
3386
3387- Fix a problem where coming up in recover wouldn't result in an update
3388 request being sent.
3389
3390- Add some more chatty messages when we start a recovery update and when it's
3391 done.
3392
3393- Fix a possible problem where some state might have been left around
3394 after the peer lost contact and regained contact about how many updates
3395 were pending.
3396
3397- Don't nix a lease update because of a lease conflict. This test has
3398 never (as far as I know) prevented a mistake, and it appears to cause
3399 problems with failover.
3400
3401- Add support in rc history code for keeping a selective history, rather
3402 than a history of all references and dereferences. This code is only used
3403 when extensive additional debugging is enabled.
3404
adbef119 3405 Changes since 3.0

DH
3406
3407- Make allocators for hash tables. As a side effect, this fixes a memory
3408 smash in the subclass allocation code.
3409
3410- Fix a small bug in omshell where if you try to close an object when
3411 no object is open, it dumps core.
3412
3413- Fix an obscure coredump that could occur on shutdown.
3414
3415- Fix a bug in the recording of host declaration rubouts in the lease file.
3416
3417- Fix two potential spins in the host deletion code.
3418
3419- Fix a core dump that would happen if an application tried to update
3420 a host object attribute with a null value.
3421
3422 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 12
3423
3424- Fix a memory leak in the evaluation code.
3425
3426- Fix an obscure core dump.
3427
3428- Print a couple of new warnings when parsing the configuration file
3429 when crucial information is left out.
3430
3431- Log "no free leases" as an error.
3432
3433- Documentation updates.
3434

3436
3437- Always return a subnet selection option if one is sent.
3438
3439- Fix a warning that was being printed because an automatic data
3440 structure wasn't zeroed.
3441
3442- Fix some failover state transitions that were being handled
3443 incorrectly.
3444
3445- When supersede_lease is called on a lease whose end time has already
3446 expired, but for which a state transition has not yet been done, do
3447 a state transition. This fixes the case where if the secondary
3448 allocated a lease to a client and the lease "expired" while the
3449 secondary was in partner-down, no expiry event would actually
3450 happen, so the lease would remain active until the primary was
3451 restarted.
3452
3453 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 10
3454
3455- Fix a bug that was preventing released leases from changing state
3456 in failover-enabled pools.
3457
3458- Fix a core dump in the client identifier finder code (for host
3459 declarations).
3460
3461- Finish fixing a bug where bogus data would sometimes get logged to
3462 the dhclient.leases file because it was opened as descriptor 2.
3463
3464- Fix the Linux dhclient-script according to suggestions made by
3465 several people on the dhcp-client mailing list.
3466
3467- Log successful DNS updates at LOG_INFO, not LOG_ERROR.
3468
3469- Print an error message and refuse to run if a failover peer is
3470 defined but not referenced by any pools.
3471

3487
3488- Fix a parsing bug that broke dns updates (both interim and ad-hoc).
3489 This was introduced in rc8pl1 as an unintended result of the memory
3490 leakage fixes that were in pl1.
3491
3492- Fix a long-standing bug where the server would record that an update
3493 had been done for a client with no name, even though no update had
3494 been done, and then when the client's lease expired the deletion of
3495 that nonexistant record would time out because the name was the null
9a111ee8 3496 string.

3503 one-lease-per-client was enabled.
3504
3505- Fix a bug that was causing core dumps on BSD/os in the presence of
3506 malformed packets.
3507
3508- In partner-down state, don't restrict lease lengths to MCLT.
3509
3510- On the failover secondary, record the MCLT received from the primary
3511 so that if we come up without a connection to the primary we don't
3512 wind up giving out zero-length leases.
3513
3514- Fix some compilation problems on BSD/os.
3515
3516- Fix a bunch of memory leaks.
3517
3518- Fix a couple of bugs in the option printer.
3519
3520- Fix an obscure error reporting bug in the dns update code, and also
3521 make the message clearer when a key algorithm isn't supported.
3522
3523- Fix a bug in the tracing code that prevented trace runs that used
3524 tcp connections from being played back.
3525
3526- Add some additional debugging capability for catching memory leaks
3527 on exit.
3528
3529- Make the client release the lease correctly on shutdown.
3530
3531- Add some configurability to the build system.
3532
3533- Install omshell manual page in man1, not man8.
3534
3535- Craig Gwydir sent in a patch that fixes a long-standing bug in the
3536 DHCP client that could cause core dumps, but that for some reason
3537 hadn't been noticed until now.
3538
3539 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 7
3540
3541- Fix a bug in failover where we weren't sending updates after a
3542 transition from communications-interrupted to normal.
3543
3544- Handle expired/released/reset -> free transition according to the
3545 protocol specification (this works - the other way not only wasn't
3546 conformant, but also didn't work).
3547
3548- Add a control object in both client and server that allows either
3549 daemon to be shut down cleanly.
3550
3551- When writing a lease, if we run out of disk space, shut down the
3552 output file and insist on writing a new one before proceeding.
3553
3554- In the server, if the OMAPI listener port is occupied, keep trying
3555 to get it, rather than simply giving up and exiting.
3556
3557- Support fetching variables from leases and also updating and adding
3558 variables to leases via OMAPI.
3559
3560- If two failover peers have wildly different clocks, refuse to start
3561 doing failover.
3562
3563- Fix a bug in the DNS update code that could cause core dumps when
3564 running on alpha processors.
3565
3566- Fixed a bug in ddns updates for static lease entries, thanks to a
3567 patch from Andrey M Linkevitch.
3568
3569- Add support for Darwin/MacOS X
3570
3571- Install omshell (including new documentation).
3572
3573- Support DNS updates in the client (this is a very obscure feature
3574 that most DHCP client users probably will not be able to use).
3575
3576- Somewhat cleaner status logging in the client.
3577
3578- Make OMAPI key naming syntax compatible with the way keys are
3579 actually named (key names are domain names).
3580
3581- Fix a bug in the lease file writer.
3582
3583- Install DHCP ISC headers in a different place than BIND 9 ISC
3584 headers, to avoid causing trouble in BIND 9 builds.
3585
3586- Don't send updates for attributes on an object when the attributes
3587 haven't changed. Support deleting attributes on remote objects.
3588
3589- Fix a number of bugs in omshell, and add the unset and refresh
3590 statements.
3591
3592- Handle disconnects in OMAPI a little bit more intelligently (so that
3593 the caller gets ECONNRESET instead of EINVAL).
3594
3595- Fix a bunch of bugs in the handling of clients that have existing
3596 leases when the try to renew their leases while failover is
3597 operating.

3602 a client that had a host declaration that contained both a
3603 fixed-address declaration and a dhcp-client-identifier option
3604 declaration, if the client identifier was longer than nine bytes.
3605

3607 using omapi to manipulate leases.

3614 chains from having their reference counts decreased on dereference.
3615

3617 chains from being freed upon removal of the last reference external
3618 to the chain.
3619
3620- Fix a number of other memory leaks in the OMAPI protocol subsystem.
3621

3636 DHCPDECLINE.
3637
3638- Fix failover peer OMAPI support.
3639
3640- In failover, correctly handle expiration of leases. Previously,
3641 leases would never be reclaimed because they couldn't make the
3642 transition from EXPIRED to FREE.
3643
3644- Fix some broken failover state transitions.
3645
3646- Documentation fixes.
3647
3648- Take out an unnecessary check in DHCP relay agent information option
3649 stashing code that was preventing REBINDING clients from rebinding.
3650
3651- Prevent failover peers from allocating leases in DHCPREQUEST
3652 processing if the lease belongs to the other server.
3653
3654- Record server version in lease file introductory comment.
3655
3656- Correctly report connection errors in OMAPI and failover.
3657
3658- Make authentication signature algorithm name comparisons in OMAPI
3659 case-insensitive.
3660
3661- Fix compile problem on SunOS 4.x
3662
98311e4b 3663- If a signature algorithm is not terminated with '.', terminate it so
eaf0b302
TL
3664 that comparisons between fully-qualified names will work
3665 consistently.
3666
3667- Different SIOCGIFCONF probe code, may "fix" problem on some Linux
3668 systems with the probe not working correctly.

3689 Friedrich.

3692
3693 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 2
3694
3695- Change the conditions under which a DHCPRELEASE is actually
3696 committed to be consistent with lease binding states rather than
98311e4b 3697 using the lease end time. This may fix some problems with the
892fe689
TL
3698 billing class code.
3699
3700- Fix a bug where lease updates would fail on Digital Unix (and maybe
3701 others) because malloc was called with a size of zero.
3702
3703- Fix a core dump that happens when the DHCP server can't create its
3704 trace file.

87784777 3707
79ea3de8
TL
3708- Fix the dhcp_failover_put_message to not attempt to allocate a
3709 zero-length buffer. Some versions of malloc() fail if you try to
3710 allocate a zero-length buffer, and this was causing problems on,
3711 e.g., Digital Unix.
3712
3713- Fix a case where the failover code was printing an error message
3714 when no error had occurred.
3715
3716- Fix a problem where when a server went down and back up again, the
3717 peer would not see a state transition and so would stay in the
3718 non-communicating state.
3719
3720- Be smart about going into recover_wait.
3721
3722- Fix a problem in the failover implementation where peers would fail
3723 to come into sync if interrupted in the RECOVER state. This could
3724 have been the cause of some problems people have reported recently.
3725
3726- Fix a problem with billing classes where they would not be unbilled
3727 when the client lease expired.
3728
3729- If select fails, figure out which descriptor is bad, and cut it out
3730 of the I/O loop. This prevents a potentially nasty spin. I
3731 haven't heard any report it in a while, but it came up consistently
3732 in testing.
3733
3734- Fix a bug in the relay agent where if you specified interfaces on
3735 the command line, it would fail.
3736
3737- Fix a couple of small bugs in the omapi connection object (no known
3738 user impact).
3739
3740- Add the missing 3.0 Beta 1 lease conversion script.
3741
3742- Read dhcp client script hooks if they exist, rather than only if
3743 they're executable.

3785 checked. This may have been causing core dumps.

3788 billing class statement, and the lease already has a billing class,
3789 unbill the old class.
3790
3791- When processing failover transactions, where acks will be deferred,
3792 process the state transition immediately.
3793
3794- Don't try to use the new SIOCGIFCONF buffer size detection code on
3795 Linux 2.0, which doesn't provide this functionality.

3802
3803- Document the -n and -g flags to the client.
3804
3805- Make sure there is always a stdin and stdout on startup. This
3806 prevents shell scripts from accidentally writing error messages into
3807 configuration files that happen to be opened as stderr.
3808
3809- If an interface is removed, the client will now notice that it is
3810 gone rather than spinning. This has only been tested on NetBSD.
3811
3812- The client will attempt to get an address even if it can't create a
3813 lease file.

3860- Implement omshell, which can be used to do arbitrary things to the
3861 server (in theory). (Damien Neil)
3862
3863- Fix a case where if a client had two different leases the server could
3864 actually dereference the second one when it hadn't been referenced,
3865 leading to memory corruption and a core dump. (James Brister)
3866
3867- Fix a case where a client could request the address of another client's
3868 lease, but find_lease wouldn't detect that the other client had it, and
3869 would attempt to allocate it to the client, resulting in a lease conflict
3870 message.
3871
3872- Fix a case where a client with more than one client identifier could be
3873 given a lease where the hardware address was correct but the client
3874 identifier was not, resulting in a lease conflict message.

98311e4b 3876- Fix a problem where the server could write out a colon-separated
3350f5b7
TL
3877 hex list as a value for a variable, which would then not parse.
3878 The fix is to always write strings as quoted strings, with any
3879 non-printable characters quoted as octal escape sequences. So
3880 a file written the old way still won't work, but new files written
3881 this way will work.

3883- Fix documentation for sending non-standard options.
3884
3885- Use unparsable names for unknown options. WARNING: this will
3886 break any configuration files that use the option-nnn convention.
3887 If you want to continue to use this convention for some options,
3888 please be sure to write a definition, like this:
3889
3890 option option-nnn code nnn = string;
3891
3892 You can use a descriptive name instead of option-nnn if you like.
3893
3894- Fix a problem where we would see a DHCPDISCOVER/DHCPOFFER/
3895 DHCPREQUEST/DHCPACK/DHCPREQUEST/DHCPNAK sequence. This was the
3896 result of a deceptively silly bug in supersede_lease.
3897

TL
3911- Add support for transaction tracing. This allows the state of the
3912 DHCP server on startup, and all the subsequent transactions, to be
3913 recorded in a file which can then be played back to reproduce the
3914 behaviour of the DHCP server. This can be used to quickly
3915 reproduce bugs that cause core dumps or corruption, and also for
3916 tracking down memory leaks.
3917
3918- Incorporate some bug fixes provided by Joost Mulders for the DLPI
3919 package which should clear up problems people have been seeing on
3920 Solaris.
3921
3922- Fix bugs in the handling of options stored as linked lists (agent
3923 options, fqdn options and nwip options) that could cause memory
3924 corruption and core dumps.
3925
3926- Fix a bug in DHCPREQUEST handling that resulted in DHCPNAK messages
3927 not being send in some cases when they were needed.
3928
3929- Make the lease structure somewhat more compact.
3930
3931- Make initial failover startup *much* faster. This was researched
3932 and implemented by Damien Neil.
3933
3934- Add a --version flag to all executables, which prints the program
3935 name and version to standard output.
3936
3937- Don't rewrite the lease file every thousand leases.

3947 DHCP client script on the DHCP client command line.

3952 would cause two DHCPDISCOVERS to be sent back-to-back on startup.

3971
3972- Finish fixing a long-standing bug in the agent options code. This
3973 was causing core dumps and failing to operate correctly - in
3974 particular, agent option stashing wasn't working. Agent option
3975 stashing should now be working, meaning that agent options can be
3976 used in class statements to control address allocation.
3977
3978- Fix up documentation.
3979
3980- Fix a couple of small memory leaks that would have added up
3981 significantly in a high-demand situation.
3982
3983- Add a log-facility configuration parameter.
3984
3985- Fix a compile error on some older operating systems.

3987- Add the ability in the client to execute certain statements before
3988 transmitting packets to the server. Handy for debugging; not much
3989 practical use otherwise.

3991- Don't send faked-out giaddr when renewing or bound - again, useful

4000- Work around the Win98 DHCP client, which NUL-terminates the FQDN
4001 option.
4002
4003- Work around Win98 and Win2k clients that will claim they want to do
4004 the update even when they don't have any way to do it.
4005
4006- Fix some log messages that can be printed when failover is operating
4007 that were not printing enough information.
4008
4009- It was possible for a DHCPDISCOVER to get an allocation even when
4010 the state machine said the server shouldn't be responding.
4011
4012- Don't load balance DHCPREQUESTs from clients in RENEWING and
4013 REBINDING, since in RENEWING, if we heard it, it's for us, and in
4014 REBINDING, the client wouldn't have got to REBINDING if its primary
4015 were answering.

4018 the transition.

4027- Albert Herranz tracked down and fixed a subtle bug in the base64
4028 decoder that would prevent any key with an 'x' in its base64
4029 representation from working correctly.
4030
4031- Thanks to Chris Cheney and Michael Sanders, we have a fix for the
4032 hang that they both spotted in the DHCP server - when
4033 one-lease-per-client was set, the code to release the "other" lease
4034 could spin.
4035
4036- Fix a problem with alignment of the input buffer in bpf in cases
4037 where two packets arrive in the same bpf read.
4038
4039- Fix a problem where the relay agent would crash if you specified an
4040 interface name on the command line.
4041
4042- Add the ability to conditionalize client behaviour based on the
4043 client state.
4044
4045- Add support for the FQDN option, and added support for a new way of
4046 doing ddns updates (ddns update style interim) that allows more than
4047 one DHCP server to update the DNS for the same network(s). This
4048 was implemented by Damien Neil with some additional functionality
4049 added by Ted Lemon.
4050
4051- Damien added a "log" statement, so that the configuration file can
4052 be made to log debugging information and other information.
4053
4054- Fixed a bug that caused option buffers not to be terminated with an
4055 end option.
4056
4057- Fixed a long-standing bug in the support for option spaces where the
4058 options are stored as an ordered list rather than in a hash table,
4059 which could theoretically result in memory pool corruption.
4060
4061- Prevent hardware declarations with no actual hardware address from
4062 being written as something unparsable, and behave correctly in the
4063 face of a null hardware address on input.
4064
4065- Allow key names to be FQDNs, and qualify the algorithm name if it is
4066 specified unqualified.
4067
4068- Modify the DDNS update code so that it never prints the "resolver
4069 failed" message, but instead says *why* the resolver failed.
4070
4071- Officially support the subnet selection option, which now has an
4072 RFC.

4097 configuration language.

4107 the DHCP option space.

4109- Add a warning message if the RHS of a not is not boolean.
4110
4111- Never select for more than a day, because some implementations of
4112 select will just fail if the timeout is too long (!).
4113
4114- Fix a case where a DHCPDISCOVER from an unknown network would be
4115 silently dropped.
4116
4117- Fix a bug where if a client requested an IP address for which a different
4118 client had the lease, the DHCP server would reallocate it anyway.

4121 will be correctly updated.

4134- Fix a possible DoS attack where a client could cause the checksummer
4135 to dump core. This was a read, not a write, so it shouldn't be
4136 possible to exploit it any further than that.
4137
4138- Implement client- and server-side support for using the Client FQDN
4139 option.
4140
4141- Support for other option spaces in the client has been added. This
4142 means that it is now possible to define a vendor option space on the
4143 client, request options in that space from the server (which must
4144 define the same option space), and then use those options in the
4145 client. This also allows NWIP and Client FQDN options to be used
4146 meaningfully.
4147
4148- Add object initializer support. This means that objects can now be
4149 initialized to something other than all-zeros when allocated, which
4150 makes, e.g., the interface object support code a little more robust.
4151
4152- Fix an off-by-one bug in the host stuffer. This was causing host
4153 deletes not the work, and may also have been causing OMAPI
4154 connections to get dropped. Thanks to James Brister for tracking
4155 this one down!

4192 spawn with.

4195 potentially bogus leases into the in-memory database.

4198 for OMAPI.
