13The areas of focus for ISC DHCP 4.4.0 were:
14
151. Dynamic DNS additions
162. dhclient improvements
173. Support for dynamic shared libraries
18
19Dynamic DNS Improvements:
20
21- We added three new server configuration parameters which influence DDNS
22 conflict resolution:
23
24 1. ddns-dual-stack-mixed-mode - alters DNS conflict resolution behavior
25 to mitigate issues with non-compliant clients in dual stack environments.
26
27 2. ddns-guard-id-must-match - relaxes the DHCID RR client id matching
28 requirement of DNS conflict resolution.
29
30 3. ddns-other-guard-is-dynamic - alters dual-stack-mixed-mode behavior to
31 allow unguarded DNS entries to be overwritten in certain cases
32
33- The server now honors update-static-leases parameter for static DHCPv6
34 hosts.
35
36dhclient Improvements:
37
a804fcc0 38 - We've added three command line parameters to dhclient:
397599cb
TM
39
40 1. --prefix-len-hint - directs dhclient to use the given length as
41 the prefix length hint when requesting prefixes
42
a804fcc0 43 2. --decline-wait-time - instructs the client to wait the given number
397599cb
TM
44 of seconds after declining an IPv4 address before issuing a discover
45
a804fcc0
TM
46 3. --address-prefix-len - specifies the prefix length passed by dhclient
47 into the client script (via the environment variable ip6_prefixlen) with
48 each IPv6 address. We added this parameter because we have changed the
49 default value from 64 to 128 in order to be compliant with RFC3315bis
50 draft (-09, page 64) and RFC5942, Section 4, point 1.
51 **WARNING**: The new default value of 128 may not be backwardly compatible
52 with your environment. If you are operating without a router, such as
7932503f 53 between VMs on a host, you may find they cannot see each other with prefix
a804fcc0
TM
54 length of 128. In such cases, you'll need to either provide routing or use
55 the command line parameter to set the value to 64. Alternatively you may
56 change the default at compile time by setting DHCLIENT_DEFAULT_PREFIX_LEN
57 in includes/site.h.
58
397599cb
TM
59 - dhclient will now generate a DHCPv6 DECLINE message when the client script
60 indicates a DAD failure
61
62Dynamic shared library support:
63
64 Configure script, configure.ac+lt, which supports libtool is now provided
65 with the source tar ball. This script can be used to configure ISC DHCP
9de870cc 66 to build with libtool and thus use dynamic shared libraries.

TM
68Other Highlights:
69
70 - The server now supports dhcp-cache-threshold for DHCPv6 operations
71 - The server now supports DHPv6 address allocation based on EUI-64 DUIDs
72 - Experimental support for alternate relay port in the both the server
73 and relay for IPv4, IPv6 and 4o6 (see: draft-ietf-dhc-relay-port-10.txt)

89
4aa6129a 90 Changes since 4.4.0a1 (New Features)
7512d88b 91
4aa6129a
TM
92- Added experimental support for relay port (draft-ietf-dhc-relay-port-10.txt)
93 feature for DHCPv4, DHCPv6 and DHCPv4-over-DHCPv6. Relay port has to be
94 enabled at compile time via --enable-relay-port and is fully backward
95 compatible (i.e. works with previous implementations of servers and relays
96 using the standard ports). A new --rp <relay-port> command line option
97 specifies to dhcrelay an alternate source port for upstream (i.e. toward
98 the server) messages. Thanks to Naiming Shen and Enke Chen of Cisco
99 systems for submitting these patches.
100 [ISC-Bugs #44535]
101
102- Added --release-on-roam to dhcpd server. When enabled and the server detects
103 that a DHCPv6 client (IAID+DUID) has roamed to a new network, it will release
104 the pre-existing leases on the old network and emit a log statement similar
105 to the following:
106
107 "Client: <id> roamed to new network, releasing lease: <address>"
108
109 The server will carry out all of the same steps that would normally occur
110 when a client explicitly releases a lease. This behavior is disabled by
111 default and may only be specified globally. Prior to this the server renders
112 the leases unavailable until they expire or the server is restarted. Clients
113 that need leases in multiple networks must supply a unique IAID in each IA.
114 When release-on-roam is disabled (the default) the server maintains the
115 prior behavior of making such leases unavailable until they expire or the
116 server is restarted. Clients that need leases in multiple networks must
117 supply a unique IAID in each IA. This parameter may only be specified at
118 the global level. Thanks to Fernando Soto from BlueCat Networks for
119 suggesting this change.
120 [ISC-Bugs #44576]
121 [ISC-Bugs #46849]
122
123- Support for delayed-ack is now compiled in by default. Prior to this
124 it had to be enabled at compile time via --enable-delayed-acks. The
125 default value for delayed-ack, however, has been changed from 28 to 0
126 (i.e. disabled). This was done to minimize the impact on users not
127 currently using the feature. Please note that the delayed-ack feature
128 is not currently compatible with support for DHPCv4-over-DHCPv6 so
129 when a 4to6 port command line argument enables this in the server the
130 delayed-ack value is reset to 0.
131 [ISC-Bugs #42446]
132
133- The server (-6) now honors the parameter, update-static-leases, for static
134 (fixed-address6) DHCPv6 leases. It is worth noting that because stateful
135 data is not retained by the server for static leases, each time a client
136 requests or renews a static lease, the server will perform DDNS updates for
137 it. This may have significant performance implications for environments
138 with many clients that request or renew static leases often. Similarly,
139 the DNS entries will not be removed by server when a client issues a RELEASE
140 nor if the lease is deleted from the configuration. In such cases the DNS
141 entries must be removed manually. This feature is disabled by default.
142 Thanks to both Bill Shirley and dgutier-at-cern-dot-ch for requesting
143 this change.
144 [ISC-Bugs #34097]
145 [ISC-Bugs #41054]
146 [ISC-Bugs #41450]
147
148- Added to the server (-6) a new statement, local-address6, which specifies
149 the source address of packets sent by the server. An additional flag,
150 bind-local-address6, disabled by default, binds the service socket to
151 to local-address6. Note that bind-local-address does not work with direct
152 clients: a relay has to forward packets to the server using the
153 local-address6 destination.
154 [ISC-Bugs #46084]
155
156 Changes since 4.4.0a1 (Bugs)
157
158- The server now recognizes environment variables PATH_DHCPD_DB and
159 PATH_DHCPD_PID. These had been incorrectly compiled out of the code
160 unless DHCPv6 support was disabled. Additionally, the server man
161 pages were corrected to accurately reflect how the server chooses
162 file names (see lease-file-name and pid-file-name statements). Thanks
7932503f
TM
163 to Fernando Soto at Bluecat Networks for bringing this matter to our
164 attention.
4aa6129a
TM
165 [ISC-Bugs #46859]
166
167- Removed an "Impossible condition" error upon exit in the dhcpd server that
168 has been shutdown via OMAPI. This condition was only apparent under Solaris
169 when building with --enable-use-sockets and --enable-ipv4-pktinfo.
170 [ISC-Bugs #36118]
171
65eed5c1 172- Corrected some minor Coverity issues: CID 1426059, 1426058, and 1426057.
4aa6129a
TM
173 [ISC-Bugs #46836]
174
175- Added missing text to dhclient.8 and expanded release note coverage
176 for --address-prefix-len changes.
7512d88b 177
0e76cb91 178 Changes since 4.3.6 (New Features)
3210786b 179
f9741514
FD
180- Added --enable-bind-install to install embedded bind includes and
181 libraries. Default is to not install them (it was the previous
182 behavior). If you'd like to change the includedir and/or libdir
5a67b030
FD
183 installation directories to something different than for ISC DHCP
184 you must pass them using the --with-bind-extra-config configuration
185 arguments.
f9741514
FD
186 [ISC-Bugs #39318]
187
007ba82a
FD
188- Added support of dynamic shared libraries with libtool. A new
189 --enable-libtool configuration parameter is available but
190 should not be used directly: *please* read the build configuration
191 section in the README file for the recommended procedure.
192 [ISC-Bugs #29402]
193
417b7b4a
TM
194- IPv6 operation now supports an EUI-64 based address allocation which will
195 calculate addresses for clients with EUI-64 DUIDs based on those DUIDs when
196 enabled by setting use-eui-64 true. The parameter may defined down to the
197 pool scope. Note this feature must be compiled in by defining EUI_64 in
198 includes/site.h. This flag is undefined by default.
199 [ISC-Bugs #43927]
200
b3e6fd51
TM
201- The directory includes/isc-dhcp and it's only occupant, dst.h, have
202 been removed from the source tree. They are obsolete for branches
203 other than v4_1_esv.
204 [ISC-bugs #45541]
205
7512d88b
TM
206- Replaced ISC licensing with Mozilla Public License, MPL 2.0 licensing
207 throughout. Please see https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/MPL/2.0/ to read
208 the MPL 2.0 license terms.
209 [ISC-Bugs #45541]
210
3e985dbf
TM
211- Load balancing for failover peers can now be disabled by setting
212 "load balance max secs" to 0. Doing so for both peers means both
213 servers will respond to all DHCPDISCOVERs or DHCPREQUESTs as soon as
214 they are received.
215 [ISC-Bugs #39669]
216
c0e9661e
TM
217- Added a new dhclient command line parameter, --prefix-len-hint <length>.
218 When used in conjunction with -P, it directs dhclient to use the given
d8805cee
TM
219 length as the prefix length hint when requesting prefixes. Thanks to both
220 Indy, of the FireballISO open source project and H. Peter Anvin for
221 suggesting this change.
222 [ISC-Bugs #43792]
223 [ISC-Bugs #35112]
224 [ISC-Bugs #32228]
225 [ISC-Bugs #29470]
3e88222f
TM
226
227- dhclient will now wait for 10 seconds after declining an IPv4 address
228 before issuing a discover. This is in keeping with RFC 2131, section 3.1.5.
229 Prior to this dhclient did not wait at all. The amount of time dhclient
230 waits can be specified via a new command line parameter:
231 --decline-wait-time <seconds>. A value of zero equates to no wait at all.
ecf9f77b 232 Thanks to Pavel Kankovsky for bringing this matter to our attention.
9de870cc 233 **NOTE: THIS IS CHANGE IN DEFAULT BEHAVIOR.
3e88222f 234 [ISC-Bugs #45457]
c0e9661e 235
35e86889
TM
236- dhclient will now include the lease address when logging DHCPOFFERs,
237 DHCPREQUESTs, DHCPACKs, DHCPRELEASEs, and DHCPDECLINEs. Additionally,
238 DHCPOFFERs will be logged before their corresponding DHCPREQUESTs are
239 sent and logged.
240 [ISC-Bugs #2729]
241
d6057334
TM
242- When given the -T command line argument, in addition to reading the
243 current lease file, the server will write the leases to a temporary
244 lease file. This can help detect issues in server configuration that
245 only surface when leases are written to the file. The current lease
246 file will not be modified and the temporary lease file is removed upon
247 completion of the test.
248 [ISC-Bugs #22267]
249
0f69ff73
TM
250- dhclient will now generate a DHCPv6 DECLINE message containing all IA_NA
251 addresses which for which the client script indicates a DAD failure. After
252 receiving the DECLINE reply, dhclient will restart the solicit process.
253 Note, the client script must exit with a value of 3 to signify that the
254 address failed DAD. Thanks to Jiri Popelka of Red Hat for submitting the
255 patch that was the foundation for this change.
9de870cc 256 **NOTE: THIS IS CHANGE IN DEFAULT BEHAVIOR.

f0f3555e 259 [ISC-Bugs #36966]
0f69ff73 260
30593241
TM
261- Replaced compilation option, enable-secs-byteorder, with a run-time, server
262 configuration parameter, check-secs-byte-order. When enabled, the
263 server will check for clients that do the byte ordering on the secs field
264 incorrectly. This field should be in network byte order but some clients
265 get it wrong. When this parameter is enabled the server will examine the
266 secs field and if it looks wrong (high byte non zero and low byte zero) swap
267 the bytes. The default is disabled. This parameter is only useful when
268 doing load balancing within failover.
269 [ISC-Bugs #45364]
270
b53ba157
TM
271- The default value for server (-6) parameter, prefix-length-mode, has been
272 changed from "exact" to "prefer". In "prefer" mode the server will offer
273 the first available prefix with the same length as that requested by the
274 client. If none are found then it will offer the first available prefix of
275 any length. This is more in line with with RFC 8168 and should improve
276 the out-of-the-box user experience.
9de870cc 277 **NOTE: THIS IS CHANGE IN DEFAULT BEHAVIOR.
b53ba157
TM
278 [ISC-Bugs #45615]
279
bbdac71d
TM
280- Added support for 'dhcp-cache-threshold' to IPv6 operation: If a client
281 renews before 'dhcp-cache-threshold' percent of its lease has elapsed
282 (default 25%), the server will reuse the allocated lease (provide a
283 lease within the currently allocated lease-time) rather than extend or
284 renew the lease. This allows the server to reply without needlessly
285 writing leases to disk. The preferred and valid lease lifetimes
286 sent to the client will be reduced by the age of the lease. The option
287 may be specified down to the pool level and is supported for all three
288 pool types: NA, TA, and PD.
289 [ISC-Bugs #45292]
290
905c58b9
TM
291- Added three new server configuration parameters which influence DDNS:
292 1. ddns-dual-stack-mixed-mode - alters DNS conflict resolution behavior
293 to mitigate issues with non-compliant clients in dual stack environments.
294
295 2. ddns-guard-id-must-match - relaxes the DHCID RR client id matching
296 requirement of DNS conflict resolution.
297
2f3eca17 298 3. ddns-other-guard-is-dynamic - alters dual-stack-mixed-mode behavior to
905c58b9
TM
299 allow unguarded DNS entries to be overwritten in certain cases

302 [ISC-Bugs #44753]
905c58b9 303
e6ffc27f
TM
304- A "key-algorithm <algorithm>" statement has been added to omshell to
305 allow the specification of the key algorithm to use during transaction
306 authentication. Prior to this it was hard-coded to be hmac-md5. It now
307 supports all of the same algorithms as the dhcpd server: hmac-md5 (the
308 default), hmac-sha1, hmac-sha224, hmac-sha256, hmac-sha384, and hmac-sha512.
309 [ISC-Bugs #46771]
310
c2e5ee28
TM
311- Added a server configuration parameter, persist-eui-64-leases, which
312 determines whether or not EUI-64 based leases are written to the
313 leases file. Default is true.
314 [ISC-Bugs #45046]
315
140612c8 316- Changed the default value of the prefix length passed by dhclient into the
a804fcc0
TM
317 client script for each IPv6 address from 64 to 128. This was done to comply
318 with RFC3315bis draft (-09, page 64) and RFC5942, Section 4, point 1.
319 In addition, dhclient now supports a command line argument,
320 --address-prefix-len, which may be used to override the default value.
321 **WARNING**: This change may not be backwardly compatible with your
322 environment. If you are operating without a router, such as between VMs on
323 a host, you may find they cannot see each with prefix length of 128. In
324 such cases, you'll need to either provide routing or use the command line
325 parameter to set the value to 64. Alternatively you may change the default
326 at compile time by setting DHCLIENT_DEFAULT_PREFIX_LEN in includes/site.h.

fa6c4c08 328 [ISC-Bugs #37221]
140612c8 329
f1fc5ede 330- Modified dhclient (-6) to bypass sending a confirm (INIT REBOOT) when it has
a804fcc0 331 only expired address associations. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for
f1fc5ede
TM
332 raising the issue and submitting the patch.
333 [ISC-Bugs #22675]
0e76cb91 334 Changes since 4.3.6 (Bugs):
0b0a1399 335
0e76cb91
TM
336- Corrected an issue where the server would return a client's previously
337 released prefix lease even when the client provides a prefix length
338 hint that does not match the prior lease. Now the server will only
339 return the previous lease if it exactly matches the hint. If not
340 it will attempt to allocate a new prefix based on the hint and the
341 prefix-length-mode. Thanks to Tim DeNike - Lightspeed Communications
342 for pointing out the error of our ways.
343 [ISC-bugs #45780]
d1489a35 344
a804fcc0 345- Added explicit include of BIND9 isc/util.h to adapt to revisions
0e76cb91
TM
346 in BIND9 (see BIND9 ticket #46311). Prior to this the build was failing
347 with implicit function declarations errors for POST() and INSIST().
348 [ISC-bugs #46332]
d1489a35 349
0e76cb91
TM
350- Added to code ignore empty IPv4 host name option (code 12). While RFC 2132
351 states the option cannot be empty, some clients are apparently capable of
352 sending it. Prior to this the server was attempting to use it and store it
353 in the lease file causing issues with DDNS and so forth.
354 [ISC-bugs #43786]
d1489a35 355
9de870cc
TM
356- Corrected dhclient command line parsing for --dad-wait-time that causes
357 even valid values to fail as invalid on some environments.
358 [ISC-Bugs #46535]
359
0e76cb91
TM
360- Replaced iasubopt::heap_index with separate values for active and inactive
361 heaps: iasubopt::active_index and iasubopt::inactive_index. This was done
a804fcc0 362 to accommodate a change in behavior in BIND9 isc_heap_delete().

e105afa1 364
0e76cb91
TM
365! Plugged a socket descriptor leak in OMAPI, that can occur when there is
366 data pending to be written to an OMAPI connection, when the connection
367 is closed by the reader. Thanks to Pavel Zhukov at RedHat for bringing
368 this issue to our attention and whose patch helped guide us in the right
369 direction.
370 [ISC-Bugs #46767]
4f553fea 371
9de870cc
TM
372- The ability of the server to send back dhcp6.vendor-opts values has been
373 restored. A change in 4.3.5 (see #29246) which enabled it to send back the
374 FQDN option unfortunately broke its ability send back dhcp6.vendor-opts.
375 Thanks to Sumant Gupta (sumantgupta at gmail dot com) of Landis+Gry for
376 bringing this issue to our attention.

0e76cb91
TM
385- The server now allows the client identifier (option 61) to own leases
386 in more than one subnet concurrently. Prior to this the server would
387 incorrectly release an existing lease in one subnet prior to assigning
388 a lease in another subnet. Note that the prior behavior can be still
389 be achieved by enabling one-lease-per-client. Thanks to both David Zych at
390 the University of Illinois and Norm Proffitt of Infoblox for reporting
391 the issue; and Norm for suggesting a solution.
392 [ISC-Bugs #41358]
ad06e7ba 393
0e76cb91
TM
394- When replying to a DHCPINFORM, the server will now include options specified
395 at the pool scope, provided the ciaddr field of the DHCPINFORM is populated.
396 Prior to this the server only evaluated options down to the subnet scope.
397 Thanks to Fernando Soto at BlueCat Networks for reporting the issue.

b7bfb2c7 404
0e76cb91
TM
405- The new lmdb (Lightning Memory DataBase) bind9 configure option is
406 now disabled by default to avoid the presence of this library to be
407 detected which can lead to a link failure.

410- The linux interface discovery code has been modified to use getifaddrs()
411 as is done for BSD and OS-X. Prior to this the code would only recognize
412 the first address on an interface and thereby omit vlans.

427- On 64-bit platforms, dhclient now generates the correct value for the
428 script environment variable, "expiry", the lease expiry value exceeds
429 0x7FFFFFFF. Prior to this such values would produce negative values

446- When running in -6 mode, dhclient can enforce the require option statement
447 and will discard offered leases that do not contain all the required
448 options specified in the client configuration. If not enabled the client
449 will still consider such leases. This must be enabled at compile time
450 (see ENFORCE_DHCPV6_CLIENT_REQUIRE in includes/site.h). Thanks to

454- Altered DHCPv4 lease time calculation to avoid roll over errors on 64-bit
455 OS systems when using -1 or large values for default-lease-time. Rollover
456 values will be replaced with 0x7FFFFFFF - 1. This alleviates unintentionally
457 short expiration times being handed out when infinite lease times (-1) in
458 conjunction with failover. Our thanks to Alessandro Gherardi for bringing

466- Added --dad-wait-time parameter to dhclient. It specifies the maximum time,
467 in seconds, that the client process should wait for the duplicate address
468 detection to complete before initiating DHCP requests. This value is
469 propagated to the dhclient script and the script is responsible for waiting
470 the specified amount of time or until DAD has completed. If the script does
471 not support it, specifying this parameter has no effect. The default value
472 is 0 which specifies that the script should not wait for DAD. With this
473 change the following scripts have been modified to support the new parameter:
474 freebsd, linux, macos, netbsd, openbsd.

477- The server nows checks both the address and length of a prefix delegation
478 when attempting to match it to a prefix pool. This ensures the server
479 responds properly when pool configurations change such that once valid,
480 "in-pool" delegations are now treated as being invalid. During lease
481 file loading at startup, the server will discard any PD leases that
482 are deemed "out-of-pool" either by address or mis-matched prefix length.
483 Clients seeking to renew or rebind such leases will get a response of
484 No Binding in the case of the former, and the prefix delegation with
485 lifetimes set to zero in the case of the latter. Thanks to Mark Nejedlo
486 at TDS Telecom for reporting this issue.

490 opened by the server (dhcpd) at startup if ddns-update-style is not "none";
491 by dhclient only if and when the it first attempts an update; and never by
492 dhcrelay. Prior to this all three always did the initialization at startup
493 which causes them to always open on and listen for traffic on two random

817- Add support for RFC 7341 DHCPv4 over DHCPv6 with a new configuration
818 option "--enable-dhcpv4o6". Note this feature requires DHCPv6 support
819 and is not compatible with delayed-ack. Both client and server use 2
820 processes which communicate over UDP on a pair of sockets. The new
821 "-4o6 <port>" command line argument enables DHCPv4 over DHCPv6 support
822 and specifies the consecutive ports to use for inter-process communication.
823 Please look at doc/DHCPv4-over-DHCPv6 for more details.

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

864- The server will now reject unicast Request, Renew, Decline, and Release
865 messages from a client unless the server would have sent that client the
866 dhcp6.unicast option. This behavior is in compliance with paragraph 1 in
867 each of the sections 18.2,1, 18.2.3, 18.2.6, and 18.2.7 of RFC 3315. Prior
868 to this, the server would simply accept the messages. Now, in order for
869 the server to accept such a message, the server configuration must include
870 the dhcp6.unicast option either globally or within the shared network to
871 which the requested lease belongs. In other words, the server will map
872 the first IA_XX address found within the client message to a shared-network
873 and look for the presence of the unicast option there and then globally.
874 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for this issue and his patch which

890- Remove the dst directory. This was replaced in 4.2.0 with the dst
891 code from the Bind libraries but we continued to include it for
892 backwards compatibility. As we have now released 4.3.x it seems
893 reasonable to remove it.

896- Write out the DUID server id on startup in all cases, previously if it
897 was read in from server-duid option in the config or lease files for
898 DHCPv4 it would not be written to the new lease file.

920- Add support for accessing the v4 lease queues (active, free etc) in a
921 binary fashion instead of needing to walk through a linear list to
922 insert, find or remove an entry from the queues. In addition add a
923 compile time option "--enable-binary-leases" to enable the new code
924 or to continue using the old code. The old code is the default.
925 Thanks to Fernando Soto from BlueCat Networks for the patch.

927
928- Delayed-ack now works properly with Failover. Prior to this, bind updates
929 post startup were being queued but never delivered. Among other things, this
930 was causing leases to not transition from expired or released to free.
931 [ISC-Bugs #31474]

933- Clean up parsing of v6 lease files a bit to avoid infinite loops if the
934 lease file is corrupt in certain ways.

938 client is performing its own DNS updates. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat
939 for the bug report.
940 [ISC-Bugs #38639]
941
942- Corrected an issue in v6 lease file parsing. Prior to this, when encountering
943 a lease with an address for which no configured pool exists, the server was
944 declaring the lease file corrupt and incorrectly skipping over the subsequent
945 entry in the file. The server will now emit a log message indicating that
946 no pool was found for the address (or prefix) and correctly resume parsing
947 with the next entry in the lease file. Our thanks to Michal Žejdl for
948 reporting the issue.
949 [ISC-Bugs #39314]
950
951- Be more liberal in finding a subnet group associated with a static
952 prefix. When we added the class matching code for v6 we also added
953 a requirement that the static prefix must be within a subnet the
954 client was in, in order to find the proper statements. We now
955 look for a subnet based on the prefix, failing that on the static
956 address for the client and failing that on the shared network
957 itself.
958 [ISC-Bugs #38329]
959
960- Add a new action expression "parse_vendor_options", which can be used
961 to parse a vendor-encapsualted-option received by the server based on
962 the encoding specified by the vendor-option-space statement.
963 [ISC-Bugs #36449]
964
965- Enhance the PARANOIA patch to include fchown() the lease file to
966 allow it to be manipulated after the server does a chown().
967 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the patch.
968 [ISC-Bugs #36978]
969
970- Relax the requirement that prefix pools must be within the subnet.
971 This was added in as part of #32453 in order to avoid configuration
972 mistakes but is being removed as prefixes aren't required to be
973 within the same subnet and many people configure them in that fashion.
974 [ISC-Bugs #40077]
975
976- Fixed a server crash that could occur when the server attempts to remove
977 the billing class from the last lease billed to a dynamic class after said
978 class has been deleted. Our thanks to Lasse Pesonen for reporting the
979 issue.

1019 The error occurs on Linux variants that do not support VLAN tag information
1020 in packet auxiliary data. The configure script now only enables inclusion
1021 of the VLAN tag-based logic if it is supported by the underlying OS.

1025
1026- Specifying the option, --disable-debug, on the configure script command line
1027 now disables debug features. Prior to this, specifying --disable-debug
1028 incorrectly enabled debug features. Thanks to Gustavo Zacarias for reporting
1029 the issue.
1030 [ISC-Bugs #37780]
1031
1032- Unit test execution now uses a path augmented during configuration
1033 processing of the --with-atf option to locate ATF runtime tools, atf-run
1034 and atf-report. For most installations of ATF, this should alleviate the
1035 need to manually include them in the PATH, as was formerly required.
1036 If the configure script cannot locate the tools it will emit a warning,
1037 informing the user that the tools must be in the PATH when running unit
1038 tests.
1039 Secondly, please note that "make check" will now exit with a failure status
1040 code (non-zero) if one or more unit tests fail. This means that invoking
1041 "make check" from an upper level directory will cause the make process to
1042 STOP after the first test subdirectory with failed test(s). To force all
1043 tests in all subdirectories to run, regardless of individual test outcome,
1044 use the command "make -k check".

1073 [ISC-Bugs #36933] Corrects Coverity reported "medium" impact issues
1074 [ISC-Bugs #37708] Fixes compilation error in dst_api.c seen in older

1076
1077- Server now supports a failover split value of 256.
1078 [ISC-Bugs] #36664]
1079
1080- Remove unneeded error #defines. These defines were included in case
1081 external programs required the older versions of the macro. They
1082 have been #ifdeffed for now and will be removed at a future date.
1083 See site.h for the #define to include them again, but you should
1084 switch to using the DHCP_R_* versions instead of the ISC_R_* versions.
1085 Also ISC_R_MULTIPLE has been removed as it is also defined in bind.
1086 [ISC-Bugs #37128]
1087
1088- Added checks in range6 and prefix6 statement parsing to ensure addresses
1089 are within the declared subnet. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the

1098 Added checksum readiness check to Linux packet filtering which eliminates
1099 invalid packet drops due to checksum errors when checksum offloading is
1100 in use. Based on dhcp-4.2.2-xen-checksum.patch made to the Fedora project.

1110 [ISC-Bugs #25587]
1111
1112- Added the echo-client-id configuration parameter to the server configuration.
1113 The server now supports RFC 6842 compliant behavior by setting a new
1114 configuration parameter, echo-client-id. When enabled, the server will
1115 include the client identifier option (Option code 61) if received, in its
1116 responses. The server identifier returned in NAKs (if enabled) will now
1117 be the globally defined value (if one) if the server cannot attribute the
1118 inbound request to a known subnet.
1119 [ISC-Bugs #35958]
1120 [ISC-Bugs #32545]
1121
1122- Added support of the configuration parameter, use-host-decl-names, to
1123 BOOTP request handling.
1124 [ISC-Bugs #36233]
1125
1126- Added logic to ignore the signal, SIGPIPE, which ensures write failures
1127 will be delivered as errors rather than as SIGPIPE signals on all OSs.
1128 Thanks to Marius Tomaschewski from SUSE who reported the issue and provided
1129 the patch upon which the fix is based.
1130 [ISC-Bugs #32222]
1131
1132- In the failover code, handle the case of communications being interrupted
1133 when the servers are dealing with POTENTIAL-CONFLICT. This patch allows
1134 the primary to accept the secondary moving from POTENTIAL-CONFLICT to
1135 RESOLUTION-INTERRUPTED as well as handling the bind update process better.
1136 In addition the code to resend update or update all requests has been
1137 modified to send requests more often.
1138 [ISC-Bugs #36810]
1139 [ISC-Bugs #20352]
1140
1141- By default, the server will now choose the value to use in the forward DNS
1142 name from the following in order of preference:
1143
1144 1. FQDN option if provided by the client
1145 2. Host name option if provided by the client
1146 3. Configured option host-name if defined
1147
1148 As before, this may be overridden by defining ddns-hostname to the desired
1149 value (or expression). In addition, the server logic has been extended to
1150 use the value of the host name declaration if use-host-decl-names is enabled
1151 and no other value is available.
1152 [ISC-Bugs #21323]
1153
1154- DNS updates were being attempted when dhcp-cache-threshold enabled the use of
1155 the existing lease and the forward DNS name had not changed. This has been
1156 corrected.
1157 [ISC-Bugs #37368]
1158 [ISC-Bugs #38636]
1159
1160- Corrected an issue which caused dhclient to incorrectly form the result when
1161 prepending or appending to the IPv4 domain-search option, received from the
1162 server, when either of the values being combined contain compressed
1163 components.
1164 [ISC-Bugs #20558]
1165
1166- Added the server-id-check parameter to the server configuration.
1167 This parameter allows run-time control over whether or not a server,
1168 participating in failover, verifies the dhcp-server-identifier option in
1169 DHCP REQUESTs against the server's id before processing the request.
1170 Formerly, enabling this behavior was done at compilation time through
1171 the use of the #define, SERVER_ID_CHECK, which has been removed from site.h
1172 The functionality is now only available through the new runtime parameter.
1173 [ISC-Bugs #37551]
1174
1175- During startup, when the server encounters a lease whose binding state is
1176 FTS_BACKUP but whose pool has no configured failover peer, it will reset the
1177 lease's binding state to FTS_FREE. This allows the leases to be reclaimed
1178 by the server after a pool's configuration has changed from failover to
1179 standalone. Prior to this such leases would remain stuck in the backup state
1180 making them unavailable for assignment. Note this conversion will occur
1181 whether or not the server is compiled for failover.
1182 [ISC-Bugs #36960]
1183
1184- Fixed a small issue in the treatment of hosts in the inform processing
1185 that could cause the response to an inform to include information from
1186 the wrong scope. The two examples we've heard of are getting subnet
1187 instead of group information associated with a host entry, or getting
1188 global information instead of subnet if the host entry was built via
1189 omapi. Thanks to Julien Soula at University of Lille for finding the
1190 bug and supplying a patch.
1191 [ISC-Bugs #35712]
1192
1193- Avoid calling pool_timer() recursively from supersede_lease(). This could
1194 result in leases changing state incorrectly or delaying the running of the
1195 leae expiration code.
1196 [ISC-Bugs #38002]
1197
1198- Move the check for a PID file and process to be before we rewrite the
1199 lease file. This avoids the possibility of starting a second instance
1200 of a server which changes the current lease file confusing the first
1201 instance. This check is only included if the admin hasn't disabled PID
1202 files.
1203 [ISC-Bugs #38078]
1204 [ISC-Bugs #38143]
1205
1206- In the client code change the way preferred_life and max_life are printed
1207 for environment variables to be unsigned rather than signed.
1208 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the bug report and patch.
1209 [ISC-Bugs #37084]
1210
1211- Modified Linux packet handling such that packets received via VLAN are now
1212 seen only by the VLAN interface. Prior to this, such packets were seen by
1213 both the VLAN interface and its parent (physical) interface, causing the
1214 server to respond to both. Note this remains an issue for non-Linux OSs.
1215 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the patch.

1220
1221- Log content has been changed to more directly suggest that admins should
1222 check for multiple IPv6 clients attempting to use the same DUID when only
1223 abandoned addresses are available. Debug level logging will now emit counts
1224 of the total number of, in-use, and abandoned addresses in a shared subnet
1225 when the server finds no addresses available for a given DUID. Lastly,
1226 threshold logging is now automatically disabled for shared subnets whose
1227 total number of possible addresses exceeds (2^64)-1.
1228 [ISC-Bugs #26376]
1229 [ISC-Bugs #38131]
1230
1231- Added a global parameter, prefix-length-mode, which may be used to determine
1232 how the server uses a non-zero value for prefix-length supplied by clients
1233 when soliciting DHCPv6 prefixes. The server supports selection modes of:
1234 ignore, prefer, exact, minimum and maximum which are described in detail in
1235 the server man pages. The prior behavior of the server was to only offer a
1236 prefix whose length exactly matched the prefix-length value requested. If
1237 no such prefixes were available, the server returned a status of none
1238 available. Note the default mode, "exact", provides this same behavior.
1239 [ISC-Bugs #36780]
1240 [ISC-Bugs #32228]
1241
1242- Corrected inconsistencies in dhcrelay's setting the upper interface hop count
1243 limit such that it now sets it to 32 when the upstream address is a multicast
1244 address per RFC 3315 Section 20. Prior to this if the -u argument preceded
1245 the -l argument on the command line or if the same interface was specified
1246 for both; the logic to set the hop limit count for the upper interface was
1247 skipped. This caused the hop count limit to be set to the default value
1248 (typically 1) in the outbound upstream packets.

51b8a8a0
SR
1410
1411- If a client renews before 'dhcp-cache-threshold' percent of its lease
1412 has elapsed (default 25%), the server will reuse the allocated lease
1413 (provide a lease within the currently allocated lease-time) rather
1414 than extend or renew the lease. This absolves the server of needing
1415 to perform an fsync() operation on the lease database before reply,
1416 which improves performance. [ISC-Bugs #22228]
80778e94 1417 Updated this patch to support asynchronous DDNS. If the server is
adb95d23 1418 attempting to do DDNS on a lease it should be updated and written to
4809ef5c 1419 disk even if that wouldn't be necessary due to the thresholding.

1423 matching billing class tried before failing to provide a billing.

32e651c4
SR
1426- A problem with missing get_hw_addr function when --enable-use-sockets
1427 was used is now solved on GNU/Linux, BSD and GNU/Hurd systems. Note
1428 that use-sockets feature was not tested on those systems. Client and
1429 server code no longer use MAX_PATH constant that is not defined on
3cb6f9bb 1430 GNU/Hurd systems. [ISC-Bugs #25979]
32e651c4 1431
67418698
SR
1432- Add a perl script in the contrib directory, dhcp-lease-list.pl, which
1433 can parse v4 lease files and output the lease information in a more
1434 human friendly manner. This was written by Christian Hammers with
1435 some updates by vom and ISC. This is contributed code and is not
1436 supported by ISC; however it may be useful to some users.
1437 [ISC-Bugs #20680]

1444
d7d9c0c7
SR
1445- Update the DDNS code to current standards and allow for sharing
1446 of DDNS entries between v4 and v6 clients. The new code is used
1447 if the ddns-update-style is set to "standard", the older code is
1448 still available if ddns-update-style is set to "interim". The
1449 oldest DDNS code "ad-hoc" has been removed. Thanks to Thomas Pegeot
1450 who submitted a patch for this issue. This patch is based on
1451 that work with some modifications.
64fb661c 1452 [ISC-Bugs #21139]
1534fff7 1453
cde11a4c
SR
1454- Add a configuration option to the server to suppress using fsync().
1455 Enabling this option will mean that fsync() is never called. This
1456 may provide better performance but there is also a risk that a lease
1457 will not be properly written to the disk after it has been issued
1458 to a client and before the server stops. Using this option is
1459 not recommended.
64fb661c 1460 [ISC-Bugs #34810]
cde11a4c 1461
f88446f1
SR
1462- Add some logging statements to indicate when the server is ready
1463 to serve. One statement is emitted after the server has finished
1464 reading its files and is about to enter the dispatch loop.
1465 This is "Server starting service.".
1466 The second is emitted when a server determines that both it and
1467 its failover peer are in the normal state.
1468 This is "failover peer <name>: Both servers normal."
64fb661c 1469 [ISC-Bugs #33208]
f88446f1 1470
619304cd
SR
1471- Add support for accessing options from v6 relays. The v6relay
1472 statement allows the administrator to choose which relay to
1473 use when searching for an option, see the dhcp-options man page
6b9c9f87
SR
1474 for a description. The host-identifier option has also been
1475 updated to support the use of relay options, see the dhcpd.conf
619304cd

1478
e54ff84f 1479- When doing DDNS if there isn't an appropriate zone statement attempt
80778e94 1480 to find a reasonable nameserver via a DNS resolver. This restores
e54ff84f
SR
1481 some functionality that was lost in the transition to asynchronous
1482 DDNS. Due to the lack of security and increase in fragility of the
1483 system when using this feature we strongly recommend the use of
1484 appropriate zone statements rather than using this functionality.
1485 [ISC-Bugs #30461]
1486
61ef216b
SR
1487- Add support for specifying the address from which to send
1488 DDNS updates on the DHCP server. There are two new options
1489 "ddns-local-address4" and "ddns-local-address6" that each take
1490 one instance of their respective address types.
1491 [ISC-Bugs #34779]
4d079f0e 1492
38ee81bd
SR
1493- Add ignore-client-uids option in the server. This option causes
1494 the server to not record a client's uid in its lease. This
1495 violates the specification but may also be useful when a client
1496 can dual boot using different client ids but the same mac address.

7dc4e69c 1526
01a44a77
SR
1527- An optimization described in the failover protocol draft is now included,
1528 which permits a DHCP server operating in communications-interrupted state
1529 to 'rewind' a lease to the state most recently transmitted to its peer,
1530 greatly increasing a server's endurance in communications-interrupted.
1531 This is supported using a new 'rewind state' record on the dhcpd.leases
1532 entry for each lease.
c5bc8b1a 1533
01a44a77 1534- Fix the trace code which was broken by the changes to the DDNS code.
d0a10f6a 1535
01a44a77
SR
1536- Update the fsync code to work with the changes to the DDNS code. It now
1537 uses a timer instead of noticing if there are no more packets to process.
dc9d7b08 1538
01a44a77
SR
1539- When constructing the DNS name structure from a text string append
1540 the root to relative names. This satisfies a requirement in the DNS
1541 library that names be absolute instead of relative and prevents DHCP
1542 from crashing. [ISC-Bugs #21054]
a24b9f23 1543
01a44a77
SR
1544- "The LDAP Patch" that has been circulating for some time, written by
1545 Brian Masney and S.Kalyanasundraram and maintained for application to
1546 the DHCP-4 sources by David Cantrell has been included. Please be
1547 advised that these sources were contributed, and do not yet meet the
1548 high standards we place on production sources we include by default.
1549 As a result, the LDAP features are only included by using a compile-time
1550 option which defaults off, and if you enable it you do so under your
1551 own recognizance. We will be improving this software over time.

1557! Accept a client id of length 0 while hashing. Previously the server would

SR
1564- Modify the exception handling for initial context creation. Previously
1565 we would try and clean up before exiting. This could present problems
1566 when the cleanup required part of the context that wasn't available. It
1567 also didn't do much as we exited afterwards anyway. Now we simply log
1568 the error and exit. [ISC-Bugs #21093]
ad4001ce 1569
01a44a77
SR
1570- A bug was fixed that could cause the DHCPv6 server to advertise/assign a
1571 previously allocated (active) lease to a client that has changed subnets,
1572 despite being on different shared networks. Dynamic prefixes specifically
1573 allocated in shared networks also now are not offered if the client has
1574 moved. [ISC-Bugs #21152]

SR
1581- Modify the determination of the default TTL to use for DDNS updates.
1582 The user may still configure the ttl via ddns-ttl. The default for
1583 both v4 and v6 is now 1/2 the (preferred) lease time with a limit. The
1584 previous defaults (1/2 lease time without a limit for v4 and a default
1585 value for v6) may be used by defining USE_OLD_DDNS_TTL in site.h

2053! Previously the server code was relaxed to allow packets with zero
2054 length client ids to be processed. Under some situations use of
2055 zero length client ids can cause the server to go into an infinite
2056 loop. As such ids are not valid according to RFC 2132 section 9.14
2057 the server no longer accepts them. Client ids with a length of 1
2058 are also invalid but the server still accepts them in order to
2059 minimize disruption. The restriction will likely be tightened in
2060 the future to disallow ids with a length of 1.

2384- Fixed the check in the dhcp_interface_signal_handler routine to verify
2385 the existence of the linked signal handler before calling it.
2386
2267da84
DH
2387- Both host and subnet6 configuration groups are now included whether a
2388 fixed-address6 (DHCPv6) is in use or not. Host scoped configuration takes
2389 precedence. This fixes two bugs, one where host scoped configuration
2390 would not be included from a non-fixed-address6 host record, and the equal
2391 and opposite bug where subnet6 scoped configuration would not be used when
571c38b0 2392 over-riding values were not present in a matching fixed-address6 host
2267da84
DH
2393 configuration.

2395- ./configure now checks to ensure the intX_t and u_intX_t types are defined,
2396 correcting a compilation failure when using Sun's compiler.
2397
0493fdca
SR
2398- Modified the handling of a connection to avoid releasing the omapi io
2399 object for the connection while it is still in use. One symptom from
2400 this error was a segfault when a failover secondary attempted to connect
2401 to the failover primary if their clocks were not synchronized.
2402
95bba8b6
SR
2403- Clean up to allow compilation with gcc 2.95.4 on FreeBSD. Remove an
2404 extra semi-colon from common/dns.c and moved setting a variable to NULL
2405 in server/dhcpv6.c to allow the compiler to decide that the variable
9a111ee8 2406 was always properly set.

DH
2413 Changes since 4.1.0a2
2414
2415- A cosmetic bug in DHCPDECLINE processing was fixed which caused all
2416 successful DHCPDECLINEs to be logged as "not found" rather than
2417 "abandoned".

1387545f
DH
2421- Some failover debugging #defines have been better defined and some
2422 high frequency messages moved to a deeper debugging symbol.
2423
2424- The CLTT parameter in failover is now only updated by client activity,
2425 and not by failover binding updates (taking on the peer's CLTT).
2426
2427- Failover BNDUPD messages are now discarded if they conflict with an
d7ac7a27 2428 update that has been transmitted, but not acknowledged.
1387545f 2429
399d3dbe
DH
2430- A bug cleaning up unknown-xxx temporary option definitions was fixed.

fbcee149
DH
2432- Delayed-ack is now a compile-time option, compiled out by default.
2433 This feature is simply too experimental for right now, and causes
2434 some problems to some failover installations. We will revisit this
2435 in future releases.
2436
f1672d89
DH
2437- The !inet_pton() call in res_mkupdrec was adjusted to '<= 0' as
2438 inet_pton returns either 1, 0, or -1.

236d3a99
DH
2440- A dhclient-script for MacOS X has been included, which enables
2441 'dhclient -6' support.
2442
efa5e6b9
DH
2443- DDNS removal routines were updated so that the DHCID is not removed until
2444 the client has been deprived of all A and AAAA records (not only the last
2445 one of either of those). This resolves a bug where dual stack clients
2446 would not be able to regain their names after either expiration event.

2455 routers option before the subnet mask option were receiving
2456 only the latter. Fixed.

2460- A partner-down failover server no longer emits 'peer holds all free leases'
2461 if it is able to newly-allocate one of the peer's leases.

2467- Ari Edelkind's PARANOIA patch has been included and may be compiled in
2468 via two ./configure parameters, --enable-paranoia and
2469 --enable-early-chroot.

2472 as failover, server tracing, debugging, and the execute() command.

f8cbf390
DH
2474- There is now a default 1/4 of a second scheduled delay between delayed
2475 fsync()'s, it can be configured by the max-ack-delay configuration
2476 parameter.

2479 hosts were given odd-looking domain names ("foo.bar.ba.example.com").

2481- Shared network selection should be done from the innermost relay
2482 valid link-address field, rather than the outermost.

2491
9ac4206a
DH
2492- DHCPv6 vendor-class options (VSIO) are now only sent when they appear
2493 on the DHCPv6 ORO. This resolves a bug where VSIO options were placed
2494 in IA_NA encapsulated options fields.
2495

2496- Integrated client with stateless, temporary address and prefix delegation
2497 support.

2506- Merge DHCPv6-only "dhcrelay6" into general-purpose "dhcrelay" (use
2507 "-6" option to select DHCPv6 mode).

d352732e
EH
2509- Fix handling of -A and -a flags in dhcrelay; it was failing to expand
2510 packet size as needed to add relay agent options.
2511
7d6180be
DH
2512- A bug in subnet6 parsing where options contained in subnet6 clauses would
2513 not be applied to clients addressed within that network was repaired.
2514
2515- When configuring a "subnet {}" or "subnet6 {}" without an explicit
2516 shared-network enclosing it, the DHCP software would synthesize a
2517 shared-network to contain the subnet. However, all configuration
2518 parameters within the subnet more intuitively belong "to any client
2519 on that interface", or rather the synthesized shared-network. So,
2520 when a shared-network is synthesized, it is used to contain the
2521 configuration present inside the subnet {} clause. This means that
2522 the configuration will be valid for all clients on that network, not
2523 just those addressed out of the stated subnet. If you intended the
2524 opposite, the workaround is to explicitly configure an empty
2525 shared-network.
2526
2527- A bug was fixed where Information-Request processing was not sourcing
2528 configured option values.
2529
2530- A warning was added since the DHCPv6 processing software does not yet
2531 support class statements.

adb95d23 2533- Compilation warnings on GCC 4.3 relating to bootp source address
dd484ced
DH
2534 selection were repaired.

ecddae64
DH
2536- The v6 BSD socket method was updated to use a single UDP BSD socket
2537 no matter how many interfaces are involved, differentiating the
2538 interfaces the packets were received on by the interface index supplied
2539 by the OS.
2540
2541- The relay agent no longer listens to the All DHCP Servers Multicast
2542 address.
2543

2545 once for two invocations of vsprintf() variants.

d104d45b
DH
2547- ERO (RFC 4994) server support.
2548
2549- Basic and partial DHCPv6 leasequery support.

4cafb815 2558- Added explicit parser support for zero-length DHCP options, such as
6d7f9584 2559 rapid-commit, via format code 'Z'.
4cafb815 2560
022fe95e
EH
2561- It's now possible to update the "ends" field of a lease with OMAPI.
2562 This is useful if you want not only to release a lease, but also make
2563 it available for reuse right away. Hat tip to Christof Chen.
2564
9a111ee8 2565- Fixed definition of the iaaddr hash functions to use the correct
1dcc3612

2575- NoAddrsAvail answers to SOLICITs are always ADVERTISEs even when a SOLICIT
2576 carries a rapid-commit option.
2577
96b620e5
FD
2578- Return in place of raise an impossible condition when one tries to release
2579 an empty active lease.

be62cf06
FD
2581- Timer granularity is now 1/100s in the DHCPv6 client.
2582
01a54c17
EH
2583- The dhclient-script was updated to create a host route for the default
2584 gateway if the supplied subnet mask for an IPv4 address was a /32. This
2585 allows the client to work in 'captive' network environments, where the
2586 operator does not want clients to crosstalk directly.
2587
adb95d23 2588- MINUS tokens should be parsable again.
01a54c17
EH
2589
2590- Multiple (up to "delayed-ack x;" maximum) DHCPv4 packets are now queued and
2591 released in bursts after single fsync() events when the upper limit is
2592 reached or if the receiving sockets go dry. The practical upshot is
2593 that fsync-coupled server performance is now multiplicitively increased.
2594 The default delayed ack limit is 28. Thanks entirely to a patch from
2595 Christof Chen.
2596
2597 Changes since 4.0.0 (bug fixes)
2598
2599- DHCP now builds on AIX.
2600

2602 config file but -6 is not specified.
2603
2604- Fixed "--version" flag in dhcrelay
2605
2606- The 'min-secs' configuration parameter's log message has been updated to
2607 be more helpful.
2608
2609- The warning logged when an address range doesn't fit in the subnets
2610 they were declared has been updated to be more helpful and identify the
2611 typo in configuration that created the spanning addresses.
2612
2613- A bug in failover pool rebalancing that caused POOLREQ message ping-pongs
2614 was repaired.
2615
2616- A flaw in failover pool rebalancing that could cause POOLREQ messages to
2617 be sent outside of the min-balance/max-balance scheduled intervals has
2618 been repaired.
2619
2620- A cosmetic bug during potential-conflict recovery that caused the peer's
2621 'conflict-done' state message to be logged as 'unknown-state' has been
2622 repaired. It is now logged correctly.
2623
49f61135
DH
2624- A bug was fixed where the 'giaddr' may be used to find the client's subnet
2625 rather than its own 'ciaddr'.
2626
41d4652f
DH
2627- A log message was introduced to clarify the situation where a failover
2628 'address' parameter (the server's local address) did not resolve to an
2629 IPv4 address.
2630
2c9bf1f4
DH
2631- The minimum site code value was set to 224 in 3.1.0 to track RFC3942. This
2632 broke a lot of legacy site local configurations. The new code in place will
2633 track site local space minimum option codes and logs a warning to encourage
2634 updates and exploration of site local code migration problems. Option
2635 codes less than 128 in site local spaces remain inaccessible.
2636
2637- A possible relay agent option bug was repaired where random server
2638 initialization state may have been used to signal the relay agent
2639 information options sub-option code for the 'END' of the option space.
2640
cff9b78f
SK
2641- Fixes to allow code to compile and run on Solaris 9.

c4d29896
SK
2643- Fixes to allow code to compile on Mac OS X Leopard (10.5).
2644
57fcb8d9
SK
2645- When server is configured with options that it overrides, a warning is
2646 issued when the configuration file is read, rather than at the time the
2647 option is overridden. This was important, because the warning was given
9a111ee8 2648 every time the option was overridden, which could create a lot of
57fcb8d9
SK
2649 unnecessary logging.
2650
219a65eb
DH
2651- Fixed a compilation problems on platforms that define a value for FDDI,
2652 which conflicts with a dhcp configuration syntax token by the same name.
2653
ffdf3c8c
DH
2654- When a failover server suspects it has encountered a peer running a
2655 version 3.0.x failover server, a warning that the failover wire protocol
2656 is incompatible is printed.
2657
2658- The failover server no longer issues a floating point error if it encounters
2659 a previously undefined option code.
2660
00a002fc
MA
2661- Fix startup error messages to report a missing "subnet6 declaration", rather
2662 than a missing "subnet declaration", when running as a DHCPv6 server.
2663
9a111ee8 2664- DHCPv6 client timestamp in DUID was based on the year 1970 rather
7e9f7a1b

2673 Changes since 4.0.0b3
2674
2675- The reverse dns name for PTR updates on IPv6 addresses has been fixed to
2676 use ip6.arpa. rather than default to in-addr.arpa and require user
2677 configuration.
76db44f9 2678
e32529a5
EH
2679- dhc6_lease_destroy() and dhc6_ia_destroy() now set lease and IA pointers
2680 to NULL after freeing, to prevent subsequent accesses to freed memory.
2681
9a111ee8 2682- The DHCPv6 server would not send the preference option unless the
76db44f9
SK
2683 client requested it, via the ORO. This has been fixed, so the DHCPv6
2684 server will always send the preference value if it is configured.
e4a6be15 2685
9a111ee8
TM
2686- When addresses were passed as hints to the server in an IA, they were
2687 incorrectly handled, sometimes being treated as an error. Now the
6f76de58
SK
2688 server will treat these as hints and ignore them if it cannot supply
2689 a requested address.
2690
703873ab
DH
2691- If the client had multiple addresses, and one expired (was not renewed
2692 by the server), the client would continue to attempt to renew the same
2693 old address over and over. Now, the client will omit any expired
2694 addresses from future Confirm, Renew, or Rebind messages.
2695
2696- dhclient -6 will now select renew/rebind timers based upon the longest
2697 address expiration time rather than the shortest expiration time, in
2698 order to avoid cascading renewals in the event a server elects not to
2699 extend one of multiple IAADDR leases.
2700
b024480e
DH
2701- The server now limits clients that request multiple addresses to one
2702 address per IA by default, which can be adjusted through the
2703 "limit-addrs-per-ia" configuration option.
2704
c0216cb7
DH
2705- The DHCPv6 client now issues fresh transaction IDs on Renew and Rebind
2706 message exchanges, rather than using the most recent ID.

2714 the success DHCPv6 status-code, was fixed.

f8b3c6f4
DH
2721- ./configure now autodetects local database locations rather than trying
2722 to put dhcpd.leases and dhclient.leases in /usr/local/var/db, which no
2723 one ever has.

b1d3778c
DH
2737- Relative time may now be used as a qualifier for 'allow' and 'deny' access
2738 control lists. These directives may be used to assist in re-addressing
2739 address pools without having to constantly reconfigure the server. Please
2740 see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more information on allow/deny 'after time' syntax.
2741 Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen.

2744 them, if advertised by the client. It still only seeks to allocate one
2745 new address.

75135a3f 2749- Use different paths for PID and lease files when running in DHCPv4
adb95d23 2750 or DHCPv6 mode, so that servers for both protocols can be run
75135a3f

2754 of service under unusual server configurations

2757
9a111ee8 2758- A number of bugs with the internal handling of lease state on the

fa9b593d 2760
edb1283e

2761- The peer_wants_leases() changes pulled up from 3.1.0 were corrected,
2762 'never used' leases will no longer consistently shift between servers
2763 on every pool rebalance run.

9a111ee8 2773- The DHCP server no longer requires a "ddns-update-style" statement,
884a458f
SK
2774 and now defaults to "none", which means DNS updates are disabled.

9a111ee8 2779- Bug where server advertised a IPv6 address in response to a SOLICIT
1b5053b5

2787 "-Werror" (unused variable) rather than the actual test failure. Lead
2788 to inconsistent and unworkable auto-configurations.

3ad9d48f
SK
2793 fixed by Marcus Goller.

8eab95f2
DH
2795- DHCPv6 server Confirm message processing has been enhanced - it no
2796 longer replies only to clients with host {} records, it now replies
2797 as directed in RFC3315 section 18.2.2 - that is, to all clients
2798 regardless of the existence of bindings.

DH
2802- DDNS updates state information are now stored in 'binding scopes' that
2803 follow the leases through their lifecycles. This enables DDNS teardowns
2804 on leases that are assigned and expired inbetween a server restart (the
2805 state is recovered from dhcpd.leases). Arbitrary user-specified binding
2806 scopes ('set var = "value";') are not yet supported.

2920 Changes since 3.1.0 (NEW FEATURES)
2921
2922- DHCPv6 Client and Server protocol support. Use '-6' to run the daemons
2923 as v6-only. Use '-4' to run the daemons as v4-only (default. There is
2924 no support currently for both.
2925
2926- Server support for multiple IA_NA options, containing at most one
2927 IAADDR option.
2928
2929- Client support for one IA_NA option, containing any number of IAADDR
2930 options.
2931
2932- Server support for the DHCPv6 Information-request message.
2933
2934- Inappropriate unicast DHCPv6 messages sent to the server are now
2935 discarded, and this has rearchitected the IO system slightly.
2936
2937- The DHCPv6 server DUID defaults to type 1, is persistently stored in
2938 the leases database, and can be over-ridden (either completely, or by
2939 specifying type 1 or type 2).
2940
2941- The server only uses Rapid-Commit if it has been configured with the
2942 Rapid-Commit option and the client requests it.
2943
2944- DDNS support. We now update AAAA records in the same place we would
2945 update A records, if we have an IPv6 address. We also generate IP6.ARPA
2946 style names for PTR records if we're dealing with an IPv6 address. Both
2947 A and AAAA updates are done using the same 'fqdn.' virtual option space
2948 (although the DHCPv4 FQDN and DHCPv6 FQDN options are formatted
2949 differently, they both use the same code here).
2950
2951- The Linux dhclient-script attempts to set and remove assigned addresses,
2952 and to configure /etc/resolv.conf from nameserver and domain name
2953 configurations. It can be extended to configure other parameters.
2954
2955- Initial DHCPv6 lease support.
2956
2957- The IO system now tracks all local IP addresses, so that the DHCP
2958 applications (particularly the dhcrelay) can discern between what frames
2959 were transmitted to it, and what frames are being carried through it which
2960 it should not intercept.

DH
2962 Changes since 3.1.0 (Maintenance)
2963
2964- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for virgin leases always
2965 mapped to the primary. Virgin leases now have an interleaved preference
2966 between primary and secondary.
2967
2968- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for clients with no client
2969 identifier was sometimes mishashed to the peer. Load balancing during
2970 runtime and pool rebalancing were opposing.

aa3e348e
DH
2972- An assertion in lease counting relating to reserved leases was repaired.
2973
e9c59645
DH
2974- The subnet-mask option inclusion now conforms with RFC2132 section 3.3;
2975 it will only appear prior to the routers option if it is present on the
2976 Parameter-Request-List. The subnet-mask option will also only be
2977 included by default (if it is not on the PRL) in response to DISCOVER
2978 or REQUEST messages.
2979
2980- The FQDN option is only supplied if the client supplied an FQDN option or
2981 if the FQDN option was explicitly requested on the PRL.

DH
2990 Changes since 3.1.0b2
2991
2992- Failover rebalance events no longer play ping pong with round errors
2993 (moving leases between free and back to backup where there are an
2994 odd number of leases).
2995
2996- The 'pool' log line has been split into two messages, one before the
2997 rebalance run, and one after.
2998
2999- Any queued BNDACKs are transmitted before transmitting new BNDUPDs.
3000 This enforces the correct sequence of events for the remote server
3001 processing these messages.

3006 objects.
3007
1ba87b37
EH
3008- A new server config option "fqdn-reply" specifies whether the server
3009 should send out option 81 (FQDN). Defaults to "on". If set to "off",
3010 the FQDN option is not sent, even if the client requested it. This is
3011 needed because some clients misbehave otherwise. Thanks to Christof Chen
3012 at Allianz.

3014- Allow trace output files (-tf option) to be overwritten, rather than
3015 crashing dhcpd if the file already exists

DH
3023- A new server config option, 'do-reverse-updates', has been added
3024 which causes the server to abstain from performing updates on PTR
3025 records. Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen at Allianz.

3057 hash table was repaired.
3058
616d67cb
DH
3059- The servers now try harder to transmit pending binding updates when
3060 entering normal state.
3061
3062- UPDREQ/UPDREQALL handling was optimized - it no longer dequeues and
3063 requeues all pending updates. This should reduce the number of spurious
66c8f734
DH
3064 'xid mismatch' log messages.
3065
3066- An option definition referencing leak was fixed, which resulted in early
3067 termination of dhclient upon the renewal event.
616d67cb 3068
6708d944
DH
3069- Some default hash table sizes were tweaked, some upwards, some downwards.
3070 3.1.0a1's tables resulted in a reduction in default server memory use.
3071 The new selected values provide more of a zero sum (increasing the size
3072 of tables likely to be populated, decreasing the size of tables unlikely).
3073
45d545f0 3074- Lease structures appear in three separate hashes: by IP address, by UID,
6708d944
DH
3075 and by hardware address. One type of table was used for all three, and
3076 improvements to IP address hashing were applied to all three (so UID and
3077 hardware addresses were treated like 4-byte integers). There are now two
3078 types of tables, and the uid/hw hashes use functions more appropriate
3079 to their needs.
3080
3081- The max-lease-misbalance percentage no longer causes scheduled rebalance
3082 runs to be skipped: it still governs the schedule, but every scheduled
3083 run will attempt balance.
3084
a7ee93fe
DH
3085- A segfault bug in recursive encapsulation support has been corrected.
3086
98311e4b
DH
3087 Changes since 3.0 (New Features)
3088
3089- A workaround for certain STSN servers that send a mangled domain-name
3090 option was introduced for dhclient. The client will now accept corrupted
3091 server responses, if they contain a valid DHCP_MESSAGE_TYPE (OFFER, ACK,
3092 or NAK). The server will continue to not accept corrupt client packets.
3093
98bd7ca0 3094- Support for 'reserved' (pseudo-static) and BOOTP leases via failover
a55ccdd0 3095 was introduced.
98311e4b
DH
3096
3097- Support for adding, removing, and managing class and subclass statements
3098 via OMAPI.
3099
a55ccdd0
DH
3100- The failover implementation was updated to comply with revision 12 of
3101 the protocol draft.
3102
98311e4b
DH
3103- 'make install' now creates the initial zero-length dhcpd.leases file if
3104 one does not already exist on the system.
3105
b43c87ad 3106- RFC3942 compliance, site-local option spaces start at 224 now, not 128.
b43c87ad 3107
0b17f049
DH
3108- The Load Balance Algorithm was misimplemented. The current implementation
3109 matches RFC 3074.
3110
2727c1cf
DH
3111- lcase() and ucase() configuration expressions have been added which adjust
3112 their arguments from upper to lower and lower to upper cases respectively.
2714a8ef 3113 Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
2727c1cf 3114
febbd402
DH
3115- The dhclient 'reject ...;' statement, which rejects leases given by named
3116 server-identifiers, now permits address ranges to be specified in CIDR
7d7073e7 3117 notation. Thanks to a patch from David Boyce.
febbd402 3118
ee912528
DH
3119- The subnet-mask option is now supplied by default, but at lowest
3120 priority. This helps a small minority of clients that provide parameter
3121 request lists, but do not list the subnet-mask option because they were
3122 designed to interoperate with a server that behaves in this manner.
3123
3124- The FQDN option is similarly supplied even if it does not appear on the
3125 parameter request list, but not to the exclusion of options that do
3126 appear at the parameter request list. Up until now it had ultimate
3127 priority over the client's parameter request list.
3128
f7fdb216 3129- Varying option space code and length bit widths (8/16/32) are now
51202707 3130 supported. This is a milestone in achieving RFC 3925 "VIVSO" and
f7fdb216
DH
3131 DHCPv6 support.
3132
5e864416
DH
3133- A new common (server or client) option, 'db-time-format local;', has
3134 been added which prints the local time in /var/db/dhcpd.leases rather
3135 than UTC. Thanks to a patch from Ken Lalonde.
3136
b500bd4c
DH
3137- Some patches to improve DHCP Server startup speed from Andrew Matheson
3138 have been incorporated.
3139
2426234f
DH
3140- Failover pairs now implement 'MAC Affinity' on leases moving from the
3141 active to free states. Leases that belonged to the failover secondary
3142 are moved to BACKUP state rather than FREE upon exiting EXPIRED state.
3143 If lease rebalancing must move leases, it tries first to move leases
3144 that belong to the peer in need.
3145
3146- The server no longer sends POOLREQ messages unless the pool is severely
3147 misbalanced in the peer's favor (see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more details).
3148
3149- Pool rebalance events no longer happen upon successfully allocating a
3150 lease. Instead, they happen on a schedule. See 'man dhcpd.conf' for the
3151 min-balance and max-balance statements for more information.
3152
334bf491
DH
3153- The DHCP Relay Agent Information Option / Link Selection Sub-Option
3154 is now supported. (See RFC3527 for details).
3155
3004bebf
DH
3156- A new DDNS related server option, update-conflict-detection, has been
3157 added. If this option is enabled, dhcpd will perform normal DHCID
3158 conflict resolution (the default). If this option is disabled, it will
3159 instead trust the assigned name implicitly (removing any other bindings
3160 on that name). This option has not been made available in dhclient.
3161
567e8561
DH
3162- In those cases where the DHCP software manufactures an IP header (to
3163 transmit via bpf, lpf, etc), the IP TTL the software selects has been
3164 increased from 16 to 128. This is intended to match Microsoft Windows
3165 DHCP Client behaviour, to increase compatibility.
3166
a396d25f
DH
3167- 'ignore client-updates;' now has behaviour that is different from
3168 'deny client-updates;'. The client's request is not truly ignored,
3169 rather it is encouraged. Should this value be configured, the server
3170 updates DNS as though client-updates were set to 'deny'. That is, it
3171 enters into DNS whatever it is configured to do already, provided it is
3172 configured to. Then it sends a response to the client that lets the
3173 client believe it is performing client updates (which it will), probably
3174 for a different name. In essence, this lets the client do as it will,
3175 ignoring this aspect of their request.
3176
dba5803b
DH
3177- Support for compressed 'domain name list' style DHCP option contents, and
3178 in particular the domain search option (#119) was added.
3179
41e45067 3180- The DHCP LEASEQUERY protocol as defined in RFC4388 is now implemented.
6d103865
SK
3181 LEASEQUERY lets you query the DHCP server for information about a lease,
3182 using either an IP address, MAC address, or client identifier. Thanks
3183 to a patch from Justin Haddad.
3184
41e45067
DH
3185- DHCPD is now RFC2131 section 4.1 compliant (broadcast to all-ones ip and
3186 ethernet mac address) on the SCO platform specifically without any strange
3187 ifconfig hacks. Many thanks go to the Kroger Co. for donating the
3188 hardware and funding the development.
6d103865 3189
b543fea9
DH
3190- A new common configuration executable statement, execute(), has been
3191 added. This permits dhcpd or dhclient to execute a named external
3192 program with command line arguments specified from other configuration
3193 language. Thanks to a patch written by Mattias Ronnblom, gotten to us
3194 via Robin Breathe.
3195
b22de500
DH
3196- A new dhcp server option 'adaptive-lease-time-threshold' has been added
3197 which causes the server to substantially reduce lease-times if there are
3198 few (configured percentage) remaining leases. Thanks to a patch submitted
3199 from Christof Chen.
3200
96bbe8c5
SK
3201- Encapsulated option spaces within encapsulated option spaces is now
3202 formally supported.
3203
b8221d95
DH
3204 Changes since 3.0.6rc1
3205
3206- supersede_lease() now requeues leases in their respective hardware
3207 address hash bucket. This mirrors client identifier behaviour.
3208
c1e6c832
DH
3209 Changes since 3.0.5
3210
f546c28b
DH
3211- Assorted fixes for broken network devices: Packet length is now
3212 determined from the IP header length field to finally calculate the
3213 UDP payload length, because some NIC drivers return more data than
5a22eb63 3214 they actually received.
f546c28b
DH
3215
3216- UDP packets are now stored in aligned data structures.
3217
c1e6c832
DH
3218- A logic error in omapi interface code was repaired that might result in
3219 incorrectly indicating 'up' state when any flags were set, rather than
23e10d37
DH
3220 specifically the INTERFACE_REQUESTED flag. Thanks to a patch from
3221 Jochen Voss which got to us via Andrew Pollock at Debian.
c1e6c832 3222
75ab3070
DH
3223- A reference leak on binding scopes set by ddns updates was repaired.

3228- In the case where an "L2" DHCP Relay Agent (one that does not set giaddr)
3229 was directly attached to the same broadcast domain as the DHCP server,
3230 the RFC3046 relay agent information option was not being returned to the
3231 relay in the server's replies. This was fixed; the dhcp server no longer
3232 requires the giaddr to reply with relay agent information. Note that
3233 this also improves compatibility with L2 devices that "intercept" DHCP
3234 packets and expect relay agent information even in unicast (renewal)

3255- Some bugs were fixed in the 'emergency relay agent options hologram'
3256 which is used to retain relay agent option contents from when the
3257 client was in INIT or REBIND states. This should solve problems where
3258 relay agent options were not echoed from the server, even when giaddr
3259 was set.

3264- The server's "by client-id" and "by hardware address" hash table lists
3265 are now sorted according to the preference to re-allocate that lease to
3266 returning clients. This should eliminate pool starvation problems
3267 arising when "INIT" clients were given new leases rather than presently
3268 active ones.

0a73b7b6
SK
3273 dhclient-script with the 'EXPIRE' state should it receive a NAK in
3274 response to a REQUEST. The client now iterates the PREINIT state
3275 after the EXPIRE state, so that interfaces that might be configured
3276 'down' can be brought back 'up' and initialized.

3283- A warning that host statements declared within subnet or shared-network
3284 scopes are actually global has been added.
3285
3286- The default minimum lease time (if min-lease-time was not specified)
3287 was raised from 0 to 300. 0 is not thought to be sensible, and is
3288 known to be damaging.
3289
3290- Added additional fatal error sanity checks surrounding lease binding
3291 state count calculations (free/active counts used for failover pool
3292 balancing).

DH
3294- Some time value size fixes in 3.0.4 brought on from FreeBSD /usr/ports were
3295 misapplied to server values rather than client values. The server no longer
3296 advertises 8-byte lease-time options when on 64-bit platforms.

3298- A bug where leases not in ACTIVE state would get billed to billed classes

DH
3306- If the dhclient were to receive a DHCPNAK while it was in the RENEW
3307 state (and consequently, had an active, 'bound' address and related
3308 configuration options), it would fail to 'tear down' this information
3309 before proceeding into INIT state. dhclient now iterates the dhclient-
3310 script with the 'EXPIRE' action to cause these teardowns prior to entering
1d3bfb17 3311 INIT state. Thanks to a patch from Chris Zimmerman.

DH
3331- Host declaration hardware addresses and client identifiers may only be

3334 value with the later configured value).

3336- Several option codes that have been allocated since our last release
3337 have been named and documented.
3338
3339- Option names of the form "unknown-123" have been removed from the in-
3340 memory hash tables. In order to support options of these names that
3341 may appear in dhclient.leases or similar in previous versions, the
3342 parser will now find the new option code definition, or mock up a
3343 generic option code definition. This should result in a smooth
3344 transition from one name to the other, as the new name is used to
3345 write new output.

45d545f0 3359- Null-termination sensing for certain clients that unfortunately require
88cd8aca
DH
3360 it in DHCPINFORM processing was repaired.
3361
3362- The host-name option and a few others were moved from "X" format to "t"
3363 format to be compatible with new NULL handling functions.
3364
3365- DHCPINFORM processing is a little more careful about return addressing
3366 its responses, or if responding via a relay. The INFORM related
3367 messages also log the 'effective client ip address' rather than the
3368 client's supplied ciaddr (since some clients produce null ciaddrs).
3369
3370- The server was inappropriately sending leases to the RESET state in the
3371 event that multiple active leases were found to match a singly-identified
3372 client. This was changed to RELEASED (by accepting a different, ACTIVE
3373 binding, the client is implicitly releasing its lease). This repairs a
3374 bug wherein secondary servers in failover pairs detecting this condition
3375 move leases to RESET, and primaries refuse to accept that state
3376 transition (properly).
3377
3378- The memset-after-dmalloc() changes made in 3.0.4b1 have been backed out.
3379
3380 Changes since 3.0.4b1
3381
3382- Command line parsing in omshell was repaired - it no longer closes
3383 STDIN after reading one line.
3384
3385- The resolver library no longer closes the /etc/resolv.conf file
3386 descriptor it opened twice.
3387
3388- Changes to trailing NULL removal in 't' option-atoms has been rethought,
3389 it now includes 'd' (domain name) types, and tries hard not to rewind an
3390 option beyond the start of the text field it is un-terminating.
3391
3392 Changes since 3.0.3
3393
3394- A DDNS update handling function was misusing the DNS error codes, rather
3395 than the internal generic result enumeration. The result is a confusing
3396 syslog line, logging the wrong condition.
3397
3398- The DHCP Server was not checking pool balance in the case where it brought
3399 a non-ACTIVE lease out of storage for a client that was returning to use
3400 a lease it once had long ago, and had since expired.
3401
3402- Failover peers no longer bother to look for free leases to allocate when
3403 they already found the client's ACTIVE lease. DISCOVERs are load balanced
98bd7ca0 3404 whether freely-allocated or not, unless the server doubts the peer has
88cd8aca
DH
3405 leases to allocate.
3406
3407- Fixed a bug in dhcrelay agent addition code that suppressed trailing
45d545f0 3408 PAD options - it was suppressing only one trailing PAD option, rather
88cd8aca
DH
3409 than the entire block of them.

DH
3411! Fixed some unlikely overlapping-region memcpy() bugs in dhcrelay agent
3412 option addition and stripping code. Added a few sanity checks. Although
3413 highly improbable, due to requiring the reception of a DHCP datagram well
3414 in excess of all known to be used physical MTU limitations, it is possible
3415 this may have been used in a stack overflow security vulnerability. Thanks
3416 to a patch from infamous42md.
3417
3418! Added some sanity checks to OMAPI connection/authentication code.
3419 Although highly improbable, due to having to deliver in excess of 2^32
3420 bytes of data via the OMAPI channel, not to mention requiring dhcpd to
3421 be able to malloc() a memory region 2^32 bytes in size, it was possible
3422 this might have resulted in a heap overflow security vulnerability.
3423 Thanks to a patch from infamous42md.

3424
3425- dmalloc() memset()'s the non-debug (data) portion of the allocated
3426 memory to zero. Code that memset()'s the result returned by dmalloc() to
3427 zero is redundant. These redundancies were removed.
3428
3429- Some type declaration corrections to u_int16_t were made in common/tr.c
4b97eaff 3430 (Token Ring support) thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.

3431
3432- A failover bug that was allowing leases that EXPIRED or were RELEASED
3433 where tsfp and tstp are identical timestamps to languish in these
3434 transitional states has been repaired. As a side effect, lease
3435 databases should be kept more consistent overall, not just for these
3436 transitional states.
3437
3438- If the lease db is deleted out from under the daemon, and it moves to rewrite
3439 the db, it will go ahead with the operation and move the new db into place
3440 once it detects the old db does not exist.
3441
3442- dhclient now ignores IRDA, SIT, and IEEE1394 network interfaces, as it
3443 is either nonsensical or (in the case of IEEE1394) is not known to support
3444 these interfaces. Thanks to Marius Gedminas and Andrew Pollock of Debian.
3445
3446- Some previously undocumented reasons for dhclient-script invoking has
45d545f0 3447 been documented in the dhclient-script.8 manpage.

3448
3449- Failover potential expiry calculations (TSTP) have been corrected. Results
3450 should be substantially more consistent, and proper given the constraints.
3451
3452- Adjusted lease state validation checks in potential-conflict, to
3453 account for possible clock skew similarly to normal state, and several
3454 previously illegal transitions were made legal (ex: active->released).
3455
3456- An impossible sanity check was removed from omapi/buffer.c, thanks to a
3457 patch from 'infamous42md'.
3458
3459- An OMAPI host/network byte order problem in lease time values has been
3460 repaired.
3461
3462- Several minor bugs, largely relating to treating 8-byte time values as
3463 4-byte entities, have been repaired after careful review of the FreeBSD
3464 ports collection's patch set. Thanks to the nameless entities who have
3465 contributed to the FreeBSD ports.
3466
3467- When writing a trace file, the file is now created with permissions 0600,
3468 to help administrators avoid accidentally publicising sensitive config
3469 data.
3470
3471- The calculation of the maximum size of DHCP packets no longer includes
3472 Ethernet framing overhead. The result is that the 'Maximum Message
3473 Size' option advertised by clients, or the default value 576, is no
3474 longer reduced by 14 bytes, and instead directly reflects the IP level
3475 MTU (and the default, minimum allowed IP MTU of 576).
3476
3477- The special status of RELEASED/EXPIRED/RESET leases when a server
3478 is operating in partner-down was fixed. It no longer requires a
3479 lease be twice the MCLT beyond STOS to 'reallocate', and the expiry
3480 event to turn these into FREE leases without peer acknowledgement
3481 (after STOS+MCLT) has been repaired.
3482
3483- Compilation on older Solaris systems (lacking /usr/include/sys/int_types.h)
3484 has been repaired.
3485
3486- "append"ing a string onto the end of a "t" type option (such as the
3487 domain-name field) that had been improperly NULL-terminated by the
3488 DHCP server will no longer result in a truncated string containing
3489 only the option from the server, and not the expected appended value.
4b97eaff 3490 Thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.

DH
3491
3492- File handlers on configuration state (config files and lease dbs) should
98bd7ca0 3493 be treated consistently, regardless of whether TRACING is defined or not.
88cd8aca 3494
45d545f0 3495- The Linux build environment has had some minor improvements - better
88cd8aca
DH
3496 sensing of 64-bit pointer sizes (only used for establishing an icmp_id),
3497 and corrections to #if operators regarding LINUX_MAJOR should it ever
3498 move to 3.[01].x.
3499
3500- The server now tries harder to survive the condition where it is unable
3501 to open a new lease file to rewrite the lease state database.

3503 Changes since 3.0.3b3
3504
3505- dhclient.conf documentation for interface {} was updated to reflect recent
3506 discussion on the dhcp-hackers mailing list.
3507
3508- In response to reports that the software does not compile on GCC 4.0.0,
3509 -Werror was removed from Makefile.conf for all platforms that used it.
3510 We will address the true problem in a future release; this is a temporary
3511 workaround.
3512
3513 Changes since 3.0.3b2
3514
3515- An error in code changes introduced in 3.0.3b2 was corrected, which caused
3516 static BOOTP clients to receive random addresses.
3517
3518 Changes since 3.0.3b1
3519
3520- A bug was fixed in BOOTPREQUEST handling code wherein stale references to
3521 host records would be left behind on leases that were not allocated to the
3522 client currently booting (eg in the case where the host was denied booting).
3523
3524- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated to be more clear in regards to
3525 multiple host declarations (thanks to Vincent McIntyre). 'Interim' style
3526 dynamic updates were also retouched.

3528 Changes since 3.0.2
3529
3530- A bug was fixed where a server might load balance a DHCP REQUEST to its
45d545f0 3531 peer after already choosing not to load balance the preceding DISCOVER.
98311e4b
DH
3532 The peer cannot allocate the originating server's lease.
3533
3534- In the case where a secondary server lost its stable storage while the
3535 primary was still in communications-interrupted, and came back online,
3536 the lease databases would not be fully transferred to the secondary.
3537 This was due to the secondary errantly sending an extra UPDREQ message
3538 when the primary made its state transition to PARTNER-DOWN known.
3539
3540- The package will now compile cleanly in gcc 3.3 and 3.4. As a side effect,
3541 lease structures will be 9 bytes smaller on all platforms. Thanks to
4b97eaff 3542 Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3543
3544- Interface discovery code in DISCOVER_UNCONFIGURED mode is now
3545 properly restricted to only detecting broadcast interfaces. Thanks
4b97eaff 3546 to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3547
3548- decode_udp_ip_header was changed so that the IP address was copied out
3549 to a variable, rather than referenced by a pointer. This enforces 4-byte
3550 alignment of the 32-bit IP address value. Thanks to a patch from Dr.
3551 Peter Poeml.
3552
3553- An incorrect log message was corrected thanks to a patch from
3554 Dr. Peter Poeml.
3555
3556- A bug in DDNS was repaired, where if the server's first DDNS action was
3557 a DDNS removal rather than a DDNS update, the resolver library's
3558 retransmit timer and retry timer was set to the default, implying a
3559 15 second timeout interval. Which is a little excessive in a synchronous,
3560 single-threaded system. In all cases, ISC DHCP should now hold fast to
3561 a 1-second timeout, trying only once.
3562
3563- The siaddr field was being improperly set to the server-identifier when
3564 responding to DHCP messages. RFC2131 clarified the siaddr field as
3565 meaning the 'next server in the bootstrap process', eg a tftp server.
3566 The siaddr field is now left zeroed unless next-server is configured.
3567
3568- mockup_lease() could have returned in an error condition (or in the
3569 condition where no fixed-address was found matching the shared
3570 network) with stale references to a host record. This is probably not
3571 a memory leak since host records generally never die anyway.
3572
3573- A bug was repaired where failover servers would let stale client identifiers
3574 persist on leases that were reallocated to new clients not sending an id.
3575
3576- Binding scopes ("set var = value;") are now removed from leases allocated
3577 by failover peers if the lease had expired. This should help reduce the
3578 number of stale binding scopes on leases.
3579
3580- A small memory leak was closed involving client identifiers larger than
3581 7 bytes, and failover.
3582
3583- Configuring a subnet in dhcpd.conf with a subnet mask of 32 bits might
3584 cause an internal function to overflow heap. Thanks to Jason Vas Dias
4b97eaff 3585 at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3586
3587- Some inconsistencies in treating numbers that the lexer parsed as 'NUMBER'
3588 or 'NUMBER_OR_NAME' was repaired. Hexadecimal parsing is affected, and
3589 should work better.
3590
3591- In several cases, parse warnings were being issued before the lexical
3592 token had been advanced to the token whose value was causing an error...
3593 causing parse warnings to claim the problem is on the wrong token.
3594
3595- Host declarations matching on client identifier for dynamic leases will
3596 no longer match fixed-address host declarations (this is now identical
3597 to behaviour for host records matching on hardware address).
3598
3599 Changes since 3.0.2rc3
3600
3601- A previously undocumented configuration directive, 'local-address',
3602 was documented in the dhcpd.conf manpage.
3603
3604 Changes since 3.0.2rc2
3605
45d545f0 3606- Two variables introduced in 3.0.2b1 were used without being initialized
98311e4b
DH
3607 in the case where neither the FILE nor SNAME fields were available for
3608 overloading. This was repaired.
3609
3610- A heretofore believed to be impossible corner case of the option
3611 overloading implementation turned out to be possible ("Unable to sort
3612 overloaded options after 10 tries."). The implementation was reworked
3613 to consider the case of an option so large it would require more than
3614 three chunks to fit.
3615
3616- Many other instances of variables being used without being initialized
3617 were repaired.
3618
3619- An uninitialized variable in omapi_io_destroy() led to the discovery
3620 that this function may result in orphaned pointers (and hence, a memory
3621 leak).
3622
3623 Changes since 3.0.2rc1
3624
3625- allocate_lease() was rewritten to repair a bug in which the server would
3626 try to allocate an ABANDONED lease when FREE leases were available.
3627
3628 Changes since 3.0.2b1
3629
3630- Some dhcp-eval.5 manpage formatting was repaired.
3631
3632 Changes since 3.0.1
3633
3634- A bug was fixed in the server's 'option overloading' implementation,
3635 where options loaded into the 'file' and 'sname' packet fields were
3636 not aligned precisely as rfc2131 dictates.
3637
3638- The FreeBSD client script was changed to support the case where a domain
3639 name was not provided by the server.
3640
3641- A memory leak in 'omshell' per each command line parsed was
3642 repaired, thanks to a patch from Jarkko Torppa.
3643
3644- Log functions writing to stderr were adjusted to use the STDERR_FILENO
3645 system definition rather than '2'. This is a no-op for 90% of platforms.
3646
3647- One call to trace_write_packet_iov() counted the number of io vectors
3648 incorrectly, causing inconsistent tracefiles. This was fixed.
3649
3650- Some expression parse failure memory leaks were closed.
3651
3652- A host byte order problem in tracefiles was repaired.
3653
3654- Pools configured in DHCPD for failover possessing permission lists that
adb95d23 3655 previously were assumed to not include dynamic bootp clients are now
98311e4b
DH
3656 a little more pessimistic. The result is, dhcpd will nag you about just
3657 about most pools that possess a 'allow' statement with no 'deny' that
3658 would definitely match a dynamic bootp client.
3659
3660- The 'ddns-update-style' configuration warning bit now insists that
3661 the configuration be globally scoped.
3662
3663- Two memory leaks in dhclient were closed thanks to a patch from Felix
3664 Farkas.
3665
3666- Some minor but excellently pedantic documentation errors were fixed
3667 thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
3668
3669- Bugs in operator precedence in executable statements have been repaired
3670 once again. More legal syntaxes should be parsed legally.
3671
3672- Failing to initialize a tracefile for any reason if a tracefile was
3673 specified is now a fatal error. Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
3674
3675- Corrected a bug in which the number of leases transferred as calculated
3676 by the failover primary and sent to peers in POOLRESP responses may be
3677 incorrect. This value is not believed to be used by other failover
3678 implementations, excepting perhaps as logged information.
3679
3680- Corrected a bug in which 'dhcp_failover_send_poolresp()' was in fact
3681 sending POOLREQ messages instead of POOLRESP mesasges. This message
3682 was essentially ignored since failover secondaries effectively do not
3683 respond to POOLREQ messages.
3684
3685- Type definitions for various bitwidths of integers in the sunos5-5
3686 build of ISC DHCP have been fixed. It should compile and run more
3687 easily when built in 64-bit for this platform.
3688
3689- "allow known-clients;" is now a legal syntax, to avoid confusion.
3690
3691- If one dhcp server chooses to 'load balance' a request to its failover
3692 peer, it first checks to see if it believes said peer has a free
3693 lease to allocate before ignoring the DISCOVER.
3694
3695- log() was logging a work buffer, rather than the value returned by
3696 executing the statements configured by the user. In some cases,
3697 the work buffer and the intended results were the same. In some other
3698 cases, they were not. This was fixed thanks to a patch from Gunnar
3699 Fjone and directconnect.no.
3700
3701- Compiler warnings for some string type conversions was fixed, thanks
3702 to Andreas Gustafsson.
3703
3704- The netbsd build environments were simplified to one, in which
3705 -Wconversion is not used, thanks to Andreas Gustafsson.
3706
3707- How randomness in the backoff-cutoff dhclient configuration variable
3708 is implemented was better documented in the manpage, and the behaviour
3709 of dhclient in REQUEST timeout handling was changed to match that of
3710 DISCOVER timeout handling.
3711
3712- Omapi was hardened against clients that pass in null values, thanks
3713 to a patch from Mark Jason Dominus.
3714
3715- A bug was fixed in dhclient that kept it from doing client-side
3716 ddns updates. Thanks to a patch from Andreas Gustafsson, which
3717 underwent some modification after review by Jason Vas Dias.
3718
3719- Failover implementations disconnected due to the network between
3720 them (rather than one of the two shutting down) will now try to
3721 re-establish the failover connection every 5 seconds, rather than
3722 to simply try once and give up until one of them is restarted.
3723 Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from Infoblox, and field testing
3724 by Greger V. Teigre which led to an enhancement to it.
3725
3726- A problem that kept DHCP Failover secondaries from tearing down
3727 ddns records was repaired. Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from
3728 Infoblox.
3729
3730- 64bit pointer sizes are detected properly on FreeBSD now.
3731
3732- A bug was repaired where the DHCP server would leave stale references
3733 to host records on leases it once thought about offering to certain
3734 clients. The result would be to apply host and 'known' scopes to the
3735 wrong clients (possibly denying booting). NOTE: The 'mis-host' patch
3736 that was being circulated as a workaround is not the way this bug was
3737 fixed. If you were a victim of this bug in 3.0.1, you are cautioned
3738 to proceed carefully and see if it fixes your problem.
3739
3740- A bug was repaired in the server's DHCPINFORM handling, where it
3741 tried to divine the client's address from the source packet and
3742 would get it wrong. Thanks to Anshuman Singh Rawat.
3743
3744- A log message was introduced to help illuminate the case where the
3745 server was unable to find a lease to assign to any BOOTP client.
3746 Thanks to Daniel Baker.
3747
3748- A minor dhcpd.conf.5 manpage error was fixed.
3749
3750 Changes since 3.0.1rc14
3751
3752- The global variable 'cur_time' was centralized and is now uniformly of a
3753 type #defined in system-dependent headers. It had previously been defined
3754 in one of many places as a 32-bit value, and this causes mayhem on 64-bit
3755 big endian systems. It probably wasn't too healthy on little endian
3756 systems either.
3757
3758- A printf format string error introduced in rc14 was repaired.
3759
3760- AIX system-dependent header file was altered to only define NO_SNPRINTF
3761 if the condition used to #ifdef in vsnprintf in AIX' header files
3762 is false.
3763
3764- The Alpha/OSF system-dependent header file was altered to define
3765 NO_SNPRINTF on OS revisions older than 4.0G.
3766
3767- omapip/test.c had string.h added to its includes.
3768
3769 Changes since 3.0.1rc13
3770
3771! CAN-2004-0460 - CERT VU#317350: Five stack overflow exploits were closed
3772 in logging messages with excessively long hostnames provided by the
3773 clients. It is highly probable that these could have been used by
3774 attackers to gain arbitrary root access on systems using ISC DHCP 3.0.1
3775 release candidates 12 or 13. Special thanks to Gregory Duchemin for
3776 both finding and solving the problem.
3777
3778! CAN-2004-0461 - CERT VU#654390: Once the above was closed, an opening
45d545f0 3779 in log_*() functions was evidenced, on some specific platforms where
98311e4b
DH
3780 vsnprintf() was not believed to be available and calls were wrapped to
3781 sprintf() instead. Again, credit goes to Gregory Duchemin for finding
3782 the problem. Calls to snprintf() are now linked to a distribution-local
3783 snprintf implementation, only in those cases where the architecture is
3784 not known to provide one (see includes/cf/[arch].h). If you experience
3785 linking problems with snprintf/vsnprintf or 'isc_print_' functions, this
3786 is where to look. This vulnerability did not exist in any previously
3787 published version of ISC DHCP.
3788
3789- Compilation on hpux 11.11 was repaired.
3790
3791- 'The cross-compile bug fix' was backed out.
3792
3793 Changes since 3.0.1rc12
3794
3795- Fixed a bug in omapi lease lookup function, to form the hardware
3796 address for the hash lookup correctly, thanks to a patch from
3797 Richard Hirst.
3798
3799- Fixed a bug where dhcrelay was sending relayed responses back to the
3800 broadcast address, but with the source's unicast mac address. Should
3801 now conform to rfc2131 section 4.1.
3802
3803- Cross-compile bug fix; use $(AR) instead of ar. Thanks to Morten Brorup.
3804
3805- Fixed a crash bug in dhclient where dhcpd servers that do not provide
3806 renewal times results in an FPE. As a side effect, dhclient can now
3807 properly handle 0xFFFFFFFF (-1) expiry times supplied by servers. Thanks
3808 to a patch from Burt Silverman.
3809
3810- The 'ping timeout' debugs from rc12 were removed to -DDEBUG only,
45d545f0 3811 and reformatted to correct a compilation error on Solaris platforms.
98311e4b
DH
3812
3813- A patch was applied which fixes a case where leases read from the
3814 leases database do not properly over-ride previously read leases.
3815
3816- dhcpctl.3 manpage was tweaked.
3817
3818 Changes since 3.0.1rc11
3819
3820- A patch from Steve Campbell was applied with minor modifications to
3821 permit reverse dns PTR record updates with values containing spaces.
3822
3823- A patch from Florian Lohoff was applied with some modifications to
3824 dhcrelay. It now discards packets whose hop count exceeds 10 by default,
3825 and a command-line option (-c) can be used to set this threshold.
3826
3827- A failover bug relating to identifying peers by name length instead of
3828 by name was fixed.
3829
45d545f0 3830- Declaring failover configs within shared-network statements should no
98311e4b
DH
3831 longer result in error.
3832
3833- The -nw command line option to dhclient now works.
3834
3835- Thanks to a patch from Michael Richardson:
3836 - Some problems with long option processing have been fixed.
3837 - Some fixes to minires so that updates of KEY records will work.
3838
3839- contrib/ms2isc was updated by Shu-Min Chang of the Intel Corporation.
3840 see contrib/ms2isc/readme.txt for revision notes.
3841
3842- Dhclient no longer uses shell commands to kill another instance of
3843 itself, it sends the signal directly. Thanks to a patch from Martin
3844 Blapp.
3845
3846- The FreeBSD dhclient-script was changed so that a failure to write to
3847 /etc/resolv.conf does not prematurely end the script. This keeps dhclient
3848 from looping infinitely when this is the case. Thanks to a patch from
3849 Martin Blapp.
3850
3851- A patch from Bill Stephens was applied which resolves a problem with lease
3852 expiry times in failover configurations.
3853
3854- A memory leak in configuration parsing was closed thanks to a patch from
3855 Steve G.
3856
3857- The function which discovers interfaces will now skip non-broadcast or
3858 point-to-point interfaces, thanks to a patch from David Brownlee.
3859
3860- Options not yet known by the dhcpd or dhclient have had their names
3861 changed such that they do not contain # symbols, in case they should ever
3862 appear in a lease file. An option that might have been named "#144" is
3863 now "unknown-144".
3864
3865- Another patch from Bill Stephens which allows the ping-check timeout to
3866 be configured as 'ping-timeout'. Defaults to 1.
3867
3868 Changes since 3.0.1rc10
3869
3870- Potential buffer overflows in minires repaired.
3871
3872- A change to the linux client script to use /bin/bash, since /bin/sh may
3873 not be bash.
3874
3875- Some missing va_end cleanups thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
3876
3877- A correction of boolean parsing syntax validation - some illegal syntaxes
3878 that worked before are now detected and produce errs, some legal syntaxes
3879 that errored before will now work properly.
3880
3881- Some search-and-replace errors that caused some options to change their
3882 names was repaired.
3883
3884- Shu-min Chang of the Intel corporation has contributed a perl script and
3885 module that converts the MS NT4 DHCP configuration to a ISC DHCP3
3886 configuration file.
3887
3888- Applied the remainder of the dhcpctl memory leak patch provided by Bill
3889 Squier at ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
3890
3891- Missing non-optional failover peer configurations will now result in a soft
3892 error rather than a null dereference.
3893
3894 Changes since 3.0.1rc9
3895
3896- A format string was corrected to fix compiler warnings.
3897
3898- A number of spelling corrections were made in the man pages.
3899
3900- The dhclient.conf.5 man page was changed to refer to do-forward-updates
3901 rather than a configuration option that doesn't exist.
3902
3903- A FreeBSD-specific bug in the interface removal handling was fixed.
3904
3905- A Linux-specific Token Ring detection problem was fixed.
3906
3907- Hashes removed from as-yet-unknown agent options, having those options
3908 appear in reality before we know about them will no longer produce
3909 self-corrupting lease databases.
3910
3911- dhclient will use the proper port numbers now when using the -g option.
3912
3913- A order-of-operations bug with 2 match clauses in 1 class statement is
3914 fixed thanks to a patch from Andrew Matheson.
3915
3916- Compilation problems on Solaris were fixed.
3917
3918- Compilation problems when built with DEBUG or DEBUG_PACKET were repaired.
3919
3920- A fix to the dhcp ack process which makes certain group options will be
3921 included in the first DHCPOFFER message was made thanks to a patch from
3922 Ling Gou.
3923
3924- A few memory leaks were repaired thanks to patches from Bill Squier at
3925 ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
3926
3927- A fix for shared-networks that sometimes give clients options for the
3928 wrong subnets (in particular, 'option routers') was applied, thanks to
3929 Ted Lemon for the patch.
3930
3931- Omshell's handling of dotted octets as values was changed such that dots
3932 one after the other produce zero values in the integer string.
3933
3934 Changes since 3.0.1rc8
3935
3936- Fix a format string vulnerability in the server that could lead to a
3937 remote root compromise (discovered by NGSEC Research Team, www.ngsec.com).
3938
3939- Add additional support for NetBSD/sparc64.
3940
3941- Fix a bug in the command-line parsing of the client. Also, resolve
3942 a memory leak.
3943
3944- Add better support for shells other than bash in the Linux client
3945 script.
3946
3947- Various build fixes for modern versions of FreeBSD and Linux.
3948
3949- Fix a bad bounds check when printing binding state names.
3950
3951- Clarify documentation about fixed-address and multiple addresses.
3952
3953- Fix a typo in the authoritative error message.
3954
3955- Make a log entry when we can't write a billing class.
3956
3957- Use conversion targets that are the right size on all architectures.
3958
3959- Increment the hop count when relaying.
3960
3961- Log a message when lease state is changed through OMAPI.
3962
3963- Don't rerun the shared_network when evaluating the pool.
3964
3965- Fix a reversed test in the parser.
3966
3967- Change the type of rbuf_max.
3968
3969- Make FTS_LAST a manifest constant to quiet warnings.
3970
3971 Changes since 3.0.1rc7
3972
3973- Fix two compiler warnings that are generated when compiling on Solaris
3974 with gcc. These stop the build, even though they weren't actually
3975 errors, because we prefer that our builds generate no warnings.
3976
3977 Changes since 3.0.1rc6
3978
3979- Don't allow a lease that's in the EXPIRED, RELEASED or RESET state
3980 to be renewed.
3981
3982- Implement lease stealing for cases where the primary has fewer leases
3983 than the secondary, as called for by the standard.
3984
3985- Add a fudge factor to the lease expiry acceptance code, (suggested
3986 by Kevin Miller of CMU).
3987
3988- Fix a bug in permit_list_match that made it much too willing to say
3989 that two permit lists matched.
3990
3991- Unless DEBUG_DNS_UPDATES is defined, print more user-friendly (and
3992 also more compact) messages about DNS updates.
3993
3994- Fix a bug in generating wire-format domain names for the FQDN option.
3995
3996- Fix a bug where the FQDN option would not be returned if the client
3997 requested it, contrary to the standard.
3998
3999- On Darwin, use the FreeBSD DHCP client script.
4000
4001- On NetBSD/sparc, don't check for casting warnings.
4002
4003- Add a flag in the DHCP client to disable updating the client's A
4004 record when sending an FQDN option indicating that the client is
4005 going to update its A record.
4006
4007- In the client, don't attempt a DNS update until one second after
4008 configuring the new IP address, and if the update times out, keep
4009 trying until a response, positive or negative, is received from the
4010 DNS server.
4011
4012- Fix an uninitialized memory bug in the DHCP client.
4013
4014- Apply some FreeBSD-specific bug fixes suggested by Murray Stokely.
4015
4016- Fix a bug in ns_parserr(), where it was returning the wrong sort
4017 of result code in some cases (suggested by Ben Harris of the
4018 NetBSD project).
4019
4020- Fix a bug in is_identifier(), where it was checking against EOF
4021 instead of the END_OF_FILE token (also suggested by Ben Harris).
4022
4023- Fix a bug where if an option universe contained no options, the
4024 DHCP server could dump core (Walter Steiner).
4025
4026- Fix a bug in the handling of encapsulated options.
4027
4028- Fix a bug that prevented NWIP suboptions from being processed.
4029
4030- Delete the FTS_BOOTP and FTS_RESERVED states and implement them
4031 as modifier flags to the FTS_ACTIVE state, as called for in the
4032 failover protocol standard.
4033
4034- Fix bugs in the pool merging code that resulted in references and
4035 dereferences of null pointers. This bug had no impact unless the
4036 POINTER_DEBUG flag was defined.
4037
4038- In the server, added a do-forward-updates flag that can be used to
4039 disable forward updates in all cases, so that sites that want the
4040 clients to take sole responsibility for updating their A record can
4041 do so.
4042
4043- Make it possible to disable optimization of PTR record updates.
4044
4045 Changes since 3.0.1rc5
4046
4047- Include some new documentation and changes provided by Karl Auer.
4048
4049- Add a workaround for some Lexmark printers that send a double-NUL-
4050 terminated host-name option, which would break DNS updates.
4051
4052- Fix an off-by-one error in the MAC-address checking code for
4053 DHCPRELEASE that was added in 3.0.1rc5.
4054
4055- Fix a bug where client-specific information was not being discarded
4056 from the lease when it expired or was released, resulting in
4057 problems if the lease was reallocated to a different client.
4058
4059- If more than one allocation pool is specified that has the same set
4060 of constraints as another allocation pool on the same shared
4061 network, merge the two pools.
4062
4063- Don't print an error in fallback_discard, since this just causes
4064 confusion and does not appear to be helping to encourage anyone to
4065 fix this bug.
4066
4067 Changes since 3.0.1rc4
4068
4069- Fix a bug that would cause the DHCP server to spin if asked to parse
4070 a certain kind of incorrect statement.
4071
4072- Fix a related bug that would prevent an error from being reported in
4073 the same case.
4074
4075- Additional documentation.
4076
4077- Make sure that the hardware address matches the lease when
4078 processing a DHCPRELEASE message.
4079
4080 Changes since 3.0.1rc3
4081
4082- A minor bug fix in the arguments to a logging function call.
4083- Documentation update for dhcpd.conf.
4084
adbef119 4085 Changes since 3.0.1rc2
98311e4b
DH
4086
4087- Allow the primary to send a POOLREQ message. This isn't what the current
4088 failover draft says to do, so we may have to back it out if I can't get the
4089 authors to relent, but the scheme for balancing that's specified in the
4090 current draft seems needlessly hairy, so I'm floating a trial balloon.
4091 The rc1 code did not implement the method described in the draft either.
4092
adbef119 4093 Changes since 3.0.1rc1
98311e4b
DH
4094
4095- Treat NXDOMAIN and NXRRSET as success when we are trying to delete a
4096 domain or RRSET. This allows the DHCP server to forget about a name
4097 it added to the DNS once it's been removed, even if the DHCP server
4098 wasn't the one that removed it.
4099
4100- Install defaults for failover maximum outstanding updates and maximum
4101 silent time. This prevents problems that might occur if these values
4102 were not configured.
4103
4104- Don't do DDNS deletes if ddns-update-style is none.
4105
4106- Return relay agent information options in DHCPNAK. This prevents DHCPNAK
4107 messages from being dropped when the relay agent information option contains
4108 routing information.
4109
4110- Fix a problem where coming up in recover wouldn't result in an update
4111 request being sent.
4112
4113- Add some more chatty messages when we start a recovery update and when it's
4114 done.
4115
4116- Fix a possible problem where some state might have been left around
4117 after the peer lost contact and regained contact about how many updates
4118 were pending.
4119
4120- Don't nix a lease update because of a lease conflict. This test has
4121 never (as far as I know) prevented a mistake, and it appears to cause
4122 problems with failover.
4123
4124- Add support in rc history code for keeping a selective history, rather
4125 than a history of all references and dereferences. This code is only used
4126 when extensive additional debugging is enabled.
4127
adbef119 4128 Changes since 3.0
98311e4b
DH
4129
4130- Make allocators for hash tables. As a side effect, this fixes a memory
4131 smash in the subclass allocation code.
4132
4133- Fix a small bug in omshell where if you try to close an object when
4134 no object is open, it dumps core.
4135
4136- Fix an obscure coredump that could occur on shutdown.
4137
4138- Fix a bug in the recording of host declaration rubouts in the lease file.
4139
4140- Fix two potential spins in the host deletion code.
4141
4142- Fix a core dump that would happen if an application tried to update
4143 a host object attribute with a null value.
4144
4145 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 12
4146
4147- Fix a memory leak in the evaluation code.
4148
4149- Fix an obscure core dump.
4150
4151- Print a couple of new warnings when parsing the configuration file
4152 when crucial information is left out.
4153
4154- Log "no free leases" as an error.
4155
4156- Documentation updates.
4157
4158 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 11
4159
4160- Always return a subnet selection option if one is sent.
4161
4162- Fix a warning that was being printed because an automatic data
4163 structure wasn't zeroed.
4164
4165- Fix some failover state transitions that were being handled
4166 incorrectly.
4167
4168- When supersede_lease is called on a lease whose end time has already
4169 expired, but for which a state transition has not yet been done, do
4170 a state transition. This fixes the case where if the secondary
4171 allocated a lease to a client and the lease "expired" while the
4172 secondary was in partner-down, no expiry event would actually
4173 happen, so the lease would remain active until the primary was
4174 restarted.
4175
4176 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 10
4177
4178- Fix a bug that was preventing released leases from changing state
4179 in failover-enabled pools.
4180
4181- Fix a core dump in the client identifier finder code (for host
4182 declarations).
4183
4184- Finish fixing a bug where bogus data would sometimes get logged to
4185 the dhclient.leases file because it was opened as descriptor 2.
4186
4187- Fix the Linux dhclient-script according to suggestions made by
4188 several people on the dhcp-client mailing list.
4189
4190- Log successful DNS updates at LOG_INFO, not LOG_ERROR.
4191
4192- Print an error message and refuse to run if a failover peer is
4193 defined but not referenced by any pools.

4212 This was introduced in rc8pl1 as an unintended result of the memory
4213 leakage fixes that were in pl1.
4214
4215- Fix a long-standing bug where the server would record that an update
4216 had been done for a client with no name, even though no update had
4217 been done, and then when the client's lease expired the deletion of
4218 that nonexistant record would time out because the name was the null
9a111ee8 4219 string.

4226 one-lease-per-client was enabled.
4227
4228- Fix a bug that was causing core dumps on BSD/os in the presence of
4229 malformed packets.
4230
4231- In partner-down state, don't restrict lease lengths to MCLT.
4232
4233- On the failover secondary, record the MCLT received from the primary
4234 so that if we come up without a connection to the primary we don't
4235 wind up giving out zero-length leases.
4236
4237- Fix some compilation problems on BSD/os.

4244 make the message clearer when a key algorithm isn't supported.
4245

4247 tcp connections from being played back.

4250 on exit.
4251
4252- Make the client release the lease correctly on shutdown.

4259 DHCP client that could cause core dumps, but that for some reason
4260 hadn't been noticed until now.

4262 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 7
4263
4264- Fix a bug in failover where we weren't sending updates after a
4265 transition from communications-interrupted to normal.
4266
4267- Handle expired/released/reset -> free transition according to the
4268 protocol specification (this works - the other way not only wasn't
4269 conformant, but also didn't work).
4270
4271- Add a control object in both client and server that allows either
4272 daemon to be shut down cleanly.
4273
4274- When writing a lease, if we run out of disk space, shut down the
4275 output file and insist on writing a new one before proceeding.
4276
4277- In the server, if the OMAPI listener port is occupied, keep trying
4278 to get it, rather than simply giving up and exiting.
4279
4280- Support fetching variables from leases and also updating and adding
4281 variables to leases via OMAPI.
4282
4283- If two failover peers have wildly different clocks, refuse to start
4284 doing failover.
4285
4286- Fix a bug in the DNS update code that could cause core dumps when
4287 running on alpha processors.

4293
4294- Install omshell (including new documentation).
4295
4296- Support DNS updates in the client (this is a very obscure feature
4297 that most DHCP client users probably will not be able to use).
4298
4299- Somewhat cleaner status logging in the client.
4300
4301- Make OMAPI key naming syntax compatible with the way keys are
4302 actually named (key names are domain names).
4303
4304- Fix a bug in the lease file writer.
4305
4306- Install DHCP ISC headers in a different place than BIND 9 ISC
4307 headers, to avoid causing trouble in BIND 9 builds.
4308
4309- Don't send updates for attributes on an object when the attributes
4310 haven't changed. Support deleting attributes on remote objects.
4311
4312- Fix a number of bugs in omshell, and add the unset and refresh
4313 statements.
4314
4315- Handle disconnects in OMAPI a little bit more intelligently (so that
4316 the caller gets ECONNRESET instead of EINVAL).
4317

4319 leases when the try to renew their leases while failover is

4362
4363- In failover, correctly handle expiration of leases. Previously,
4364 leases would never be reclaimed because they couldn't make the
4365 transition from EXPIRED to FREE.

4372 stashing code that was preventing REBINDING clients from rebinding.

4375 processing if the lease belongs to the other server.

4382 case-insensitive.

4417
4418- Change the conditions under which a DHCPRELEASE is actually
4419 committed to be consistent with lease binding states rather than
98311e4b 4420 using the lease end time. This may fix some problems with the
892fe689
TL
4421 billing class code.
4422
4423- Fix a bug where lease updates would fail on Digital Unix (and maybe
4424 others) because malloc was called with a size of zero.
4425
4426- Fix a core dump that happens when the DHCP server can't create its
4427 trace file.

87784777 4430
79ea3de8
TL
4431- Fix the dhcp_failover_put_message to not attempt to allocate a
4432 zero-length buffer. Some versions of malloc() fail if you try to
4433 allocate a zero-length buffer, and this was causing problems on,
4434 e.g., Digital Unix.
4435
4436- Fix a case where the failover code was printing an error message
4437 when no error had occurred.
4438
4439- Fix a problem where when a server went down and back up again, the
4440 peer would not see a state transition and so would stay in the
4441 non-communicating state.
4442
4443- Be smart about going into recover_wait.
4444
4445- Fix a problem in the failover implementation where peers would fail
4446 to come into sync if interrupted in the RECOVER state. This could
4447 have been the cause of some problems people have reported recently.
4448
4449- Fix a problem with billing classes where they would not be unbilled
4450 when the client lease expired.
4451
4452- If select fails, figure out which descriptor is bad, and cut it out
4453 of the I/O loop. This prevents a potentially nasty spin. I
4454 haven't heard any report it in a while, but it came up consistently
4455 in testing.
4456
4457- Fix a bug in the relay agent where if you specified interfaces on
4458 the command line, it would fail.
4459
4460- Fix a couple of small bugs in the omapi connection object (no known
4461 user impact).
4462
4463- Add the missing 3.0 Beta 1 lease conversion script.
4464
4465- Read dhcp client script hooks if they exist, rather than only if
4466 they're executable.

4481 a new release candidate is expected shortly.

4508 checked. This may have been causing core dumps.
4509
4510- When parsing the lease file, if a lease declaration includes a
4511 billing class statement, and the lease already has a billing class,
4512 unbill the old class.
4513
4514- When processing failover transactions, where acks will be deferred,
4515 process the state transition immediately.
4516
4517- Don't try to use the new SIOCGIFCONF buffer size detection code on
4518 Linux 2.0, which doesn't provide this functionality.
4519
4520- Apply a patch suggested by Tuan Uong for a problem in dlpi.c.
4521
4522- Fix a problem in using the which command in the configure script.
4523
4524- Fix a parse error in the client when setting up an omapi listener.
4525
4526- Document the -n and -g flags to the client.
4527
4528- Make sure there is always a stdin and stdout on startup. This
4529 prevents shell scripts from accidentally writing error messages into
4530 configuration files that happen to be opened as stderr.
4531
4532- If an interface is removed, the client will now notice that it is
4533 gone rather than spinning. This has only been tested on NetBSD.
4534
4535- The client will attempt to get an address even if it can't create a
4536 lease file.
4537
4538- Don't overwrite tracefiles.

4583- Implement omshell, which can be used to do arbitrary things to the
4584 server (in theory). (Damien Neil)
4585
4586- Fix a case where if a client had two different leases the server could
4587 actually dereference the second one when it hadn't been referenced,
4588 leading to memory corruption and a core dump. (James Brister)
4589
4590- Fix a case where a client could request the address of another client's
4591 lease, but find_lease wouldn't detect that the other client had it, and
4592 would attempt to allocate it to the client, resulting in a lease conflict
4593 message.
4594
4595- Fix a case where a client with more than one client identifier could be
4596 given a lease where the hardware address was correct but the client
4597 identifier was not, resulting in a lease conflict message.
4598
98311e4b 4599- Fix a problem where the server could write out a colon-separated
3350f5b7
TL
4600 hex list as a value for a variable, which would then not parse.
4601 The fix is to always write strings as quoted strings, with any
4602 non-printable characters quoted as octal escape sequences. So
4603 a file written the old way still won't work, but new files written
4604 this way will work.

4606- Fix documentation for sending non-standard options.

4609 break any configuration files that use the option-nnn convention.
4610 If you want to continue to use this convention for some options,
4611 please be sure to write a definition, like this:
4612
4613 option option-nnn code nnn = string;
4614
4615 You can use a descriptive name instead of option-nnn if you like.
4616
4617- Fix a problem where we would see a DHCPDISCOVER/DHCPOFFER/
4618 DHCPREQUEST/DHCPACK/DHCPREQUEST/DHCPNAK sequence. This was the
4619 result of a deceptively silly bug in supersede_lease.
4620

TL
4634- Add support for transaction tracing. This allows the state of the
4635 DHCP server on startup, and all the subsequent transactions, to be
4636 recorded in a file which can then be played back to reproduce the
4637 behaviour of the DHCP server. This can be used to quickly
4638 reproduce bugs that cause core dumps or corruption, and also for
4639 tracking down memory leaks.
4640
4641- Incorporate some bug fixes provided by Joost Mulders for the DLPI
4642 package which should clear up problems people have been seeing on
4643 Solaris.
4644
4645- Fix bugs in the handling of options stored as linked lists (agent
4646 options, fqdn options and nwip options) that could cause memory
4647 corruption and core dumps.

4650 not being send in some cases when they were needed.

4696 was causing core dumps and failing to operate correctly - in
4697 particular, agent option stashing wasn't working. Agent option
4698 stashing should now be working, meaning that agent options can be
4699 used in class statements to control address allocation.

4723- Work around the Win98 DHCP client, which NUL-terminates the FQDN
4724 option.
4725
4726- Work around Win98 and Win2k clients that will claim they want to do
4727 the update even when they don't have any way to do it.
4728
4729- Fix some log messages that can be printed when failover is operating
4730 that were not printing enough information.
4731
4732- It was possible for a DHCPDISCOVER to get an allocation even when
4733 the state machine said the server shouldn't be responding.
4734
4735- Don't load balance DHCPREQUESTs from clients in RENEWING and
4736 REBINDING, since in RENEWING, if we heard it, it's for us, and in
4737 REBINDING, the client wouldn't have got to REBINDING if its primary
4738 were answering.
4739
4740- When we get a bogus state lease binding state transition, don't do
4741 the transition.

4749
4750- Albert Herranz tracked down and fixed a subtle bug in the base64
4751 decoder that would prevent any key with an 'x' in its base64
4752 representation from working correctly.
4753
4754- Thanks to Chris Cheney and Michael Sanders, we have a fix for the
4755 hang that they both spotted in the DHCP server - when
4756 one-lease-per-client was set, the code to release the "other" lease
4757 could spin.
4758
4759- Fix a problem with alignment of the input buffer in bpf in cases
4760 where two packets arrive in the same bpf read.
4761
4762- Fix a problem where the relay agent would crash if you specified an
4763 interface name on the command line.
4764
4765- Add the ability to conditionalize client behaviour based on the
4766 client state.
4767
4768- Add support for the FQDN option, and added support for a new way of
4769 doing ddns updates (ddns update style interim) that allows more than
4770 one DHCP server to update the DNS for the same network(s). This
4771 was implemented by Damien Neil with some additional functionality
4772 added by Ted Lemon.
4773
4774- Damien added a "log" statement, so that the configuration file can
4775 be made to log debugging information and other information.
4776
4777- Fixed a bug that caused option buffers not to be terminated with an
4778 end option.
4779
4780- Fixed a long-standing bug in the support for option spaces where the
4781 options are stored as an ordered list rather than in a hash table,
4782 which could theoretically result in memory pool corruption.
4783
4784- Prevent hardware declarations with no actual hardware address from
4785 being written as something unparsable, and behave correctly in the
4786 face of a null hardware address on input.
4787
4788- Allow key names to be FQDNs, and qualify the algorithm name if it is
4789 specified unqualified.
4790
4791- Modify the DDNS update code so that it never prints the "resolver
4792 failed" message, but instead says *why* the resolver failed.
4793
4794- Officially support the subnet selection option, which now has an
4795 RFC.
4796
4797- Fix a build bug on MacOS X.
4798
4799- Allow administrator to disable ping checking.
4800
4801- Clean up dhcpd.conf documentation and add more information about how
4802 it works.

4811- Fix DHCP client handling of vendor encapsulated options.
4812
4813- Fix a bug in the handling of relay agent information options introduced
4814 in patchlevel 9.
4815
4816- Stash agent options on client leases by default, and use the stashed
4817 options at renewal time.
4818
4819- Add the ability to test the client's binding state in the client
4820 configuration language.
4821
4822- Fix a core dump in the DNS update code.
4823
4824- Fix some expression evaluation bugs that were causing updates to be
4825 done when no client hostname was received.
4826
4827- Fix expression evaluation debugging printfs.
4828
4829- Teach pretty_print_option to print options in option spaces other than
4830 the DHCP option space.
4831
4832- Add a warning message if the RHS of a not is not boolean.
4833
4834- Never select for more than a day, because some implementations of
4835 select will just fail if the timeout is too long (!).
4836
4837- Fix a case where a DHCPDISCOVER from an unknown network would be
4838 silently dropped.
4839
4840- Fix a bug where if a client requested an IP address for which a different
4841 client had the lease, the DHCP server would reallocate it anyway.
4842
4843- Fix the DNS update code so that if the client changes its name, the DNS
4844 will be correctly updated.

TL
4857- Fix a possible DoS attack where a client could cause the checksummer
4858 to dump core. This was a read, not a write, so it shouldn't be
4859 possible to exploit it any further than that.
4860
4861- Implement client- and server-side support for using the Client FQDN
4862 option.
4863
4864- Support for other option spaces in the client has been added. This
4865 means that it is now possible to define a vendor option space on the
4866 client, request options in that space from the server (which must
4867 define the same option space), and then use those options in the
4868 client. This also allows NWIP and Client FQDN options to be used
4869 meaningfully.
4870
4871- Add object initializer support. This means that objects can now be
4872 initialized to something other than all-zeros when allocated, which
4873 makes, e.g., the interface object support code a little more robust.
4874
4875- Fix an off-by-one bug in the host stuffer. This was causing host
4876 deletes not the work, and may also have been causing OMAPI
4877 connections to get dropped. Thanks to James Brister for tracking
4878 this one down!
4879
4880- Fixed a core dump in the interface discovery code that is triggered
4881 when there is no subnet declaration for an interface, but the server
4882 decides to continue running. Thanks to Shane Kerr for tracking
4883 down and fixing this problem.

4891 environment.

4898 connection code.
4899
4900- Fix a potential memory smash in dhcpctl code.
4901
4902- Fix SunOS4 and (maybe) Ultrix builds.
4903
4904- Fix a bug where a certain sort of incoming packet could cause a core
4905 dump on Solaris (and probably elsewhere).
4906
4907- Add some more safety checks in error logging code.
4908
4909- Add support for ISC_R_INCOMPLETE in OMAPI protocol connection code.
4910
4911- Fix relay agent so that if an interface is specified on the command
4912 line, the relay agent does not dump core.
4913
4914- Fix class matching so that match if can be combined with match or
4915 spawn with.
4916
4917- Do not allow spurious leases in the lease database to introduce
4918 potentially bogus leases into the in-memory database.
4919
4920- Fix a byte-order problem in the client hardware address type code
4921 for OMAPI.
4922
4923- Be slightly less picky about what sort of hardware addresses OMAPI
4924 can install in host declarations.

4928- Incorporated Peter Marschall's proposed change to array/record
4929 parsing, which allows things like the slp-agent option to be encoded
4930 correctly. Thanks very much to Peter for taking the initiative to
4931 do this, and for doing such a careful job of it (e.g., updating the
4932 comments)!

4940 Jumelle where when the network connection between two servers is
4941 lost, they never reconnect.
4942
4943- Fix client script files other than that for NetBSD to actually use
4944 make_resolv_conf as documented in the manual page.
4945
4946- Fix a bug in the packet handling code that could result in a core
4947 dump.
4948
4949- Fix a bug in the bootp code where responses on the local net would
4950 be sent to the wrong MAC address. Thanks to Jerry Schave for
4951 catching this one.

4953 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 3
4954
4955- In the DHCP client, execute client statements prior to using the values
45d545f0 4956 of options, so that the client configuration can overridden, e.g., the
490eb5e7
TL
4957 lease renewal time.
4958
4959- Fix a reference counting error that would result in very reproducible
4960 failures in updates, as well as occasional core dumps, if a zone was
4961 declared without a key.
4962
4963- Fix some Linux 2.0 compilation problems.
4964
4965- Fix a bug in scope evaluation during execution of "on" statements that
4966 caused values not to be recorded on leases.
4967
4968- If the dhcp-max-message-size option is specified in scope, and the
4969 client didn't send this option, use the one specified in scope to
4970 determine the maximum size of the response.

4988 allocate a larger buffer, and retry. Thanks to Greg Fausak for
4989 pointing this out.
4990
4991- In the server, if no interfaces were configured, report an error and
4992 exit.
4993
4994- Don't ever record a state of 'startup'.
4995
4996- Don't try to evaluate the local failover binding address if none was
4997 specified. Thanks to Joseph Breu for finding this.
