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
53 between VMs on a host, you may find they cannot see each with prefix
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.

0e76cb91 87 Changes since 4.3.6 (New Features)
3210786b 88
f9741514
FD
89- Added --enable-bind-install to install embedded bind includes and
90 libraries. Default is to not install them (it was the previous
91 behavior). If you'd like to change the includedir and/or libdir
5a67b030
FD
92 installation directories to something different than for ISC DHCP
93 you must pass them using the --with-bind-extra-config configuration
94 arguments.
f9741514
FD
95 [ISC-Bugs #39318]
96
007ba82a
FD
97- Added support of dynamic shared libraries with libtool. A new
98 --enable-libtool configuration parameter is available but
99 should not be used directly: *please* read the build configuration
100 section in the README file for the recommended procedure.
101 [ISC-Bugs #29402]
102
417b7b4a
TM
103- IPv6 operation now supports an EUI-64 based address allocation which will
104 calculate addresses for clients with EUI-64 DUIDs based on those DUIDs when
105 enabled by setting use-eui-64 true. The parameter may defined down to the
106 pool scope. Note this feature must be compiled in by defining EUI_64 in
107 includes/site.h. This flag is undefined by default.
108 [ISC-Bugs #43927]
109
b3e6fd51
TM
110- The directory includes/isc-dhcp and it's only occupant, dst.h, have
111 been removed from the source tree. They are obsolete for branches
112 other than v4_1_esv.
113 [ISC-bugs #45541]
114
7512d88b
TM
115- Replaced ISC licensing with Mozilla Public License, MPL 2.0 licensing
116 throughout. Please see https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/MPL/2.0/ to read
117 the MPL 2.0 license terms.
118 [ISC-Bugs #45541]
119
3e985dbf
TM
120- Load balancing for failover peers can now be disabled by setting
121 "load balance max secs" to 0. Doing so for both peers means both
122 servers will respond to all DHCPDISCOVERs or DHCPREQUESTs as soon as
123 they are received.
124 [ISC-Bugs #39669]
125
c0e9661e
TM
126- Added a new dhclient command line parameter, --prefix-len-hint <length>.
127 When used in conjunction with -P, it directs dhclient to use the given
d8805cee
TM
128 length as the prefix length hint when requesting prefixes. Thanks to both
129 Indy, of the FireballISO open source project and H. Peter Anvin for
130 suggesting this change.
131 [ISC-Bugs #43792]

133 [ISC-Bugs #32228]
134 [ISC-Bugs #29470]
3e88222f
TM
135
136- dhclient will now wait for 10 seconds after declining an IPv4 address
137 before issuing a discover. This is in keeping with RFC 2131, section 3.1.5.
138 Prior to this dhclient did not wait at all. The amount of time dhclient
139 waits can be specified via a new command line parameter:
140 --decline-wait-time <seconds>. A value of zero equates to no wait at all.
ecf9f77b 141 Thanks to Pavel Kankovsky for bringing this matter to our attention.
9de870cc 142 **NOTE: THIS IS CHANGE IN DEFAULT BEHAVIOR.
3e88222f 143 [ISC-Bugs #45457]
c0e9661e 144
35e86889
TM
145- dhclient will now include the lease address when logging DHCPOFFERs,
146 DHCPREQUESTs, DHCPACKs, DHCPRELEASEs, and DHCPDECLINEs. Additionally,
147 DHCPOFFERs will be logged before their corresponding DHCPREQUESTs are
148 sent and logged.
149 [ISC-Bugs #2729]
150
d6057334
TM
151- When given the -T command line argument, in addition to reading the
152 current lease file, the server will write the leases to a temporary
153 lease file. This can help detect issues in server configuration that
154 only surface when leases are written to the file. The current lease
155 file will not be modified and the temporary lease file is removed upon
156 completion of the test.
157 [ISC-Bugs #22267]
158
0f69ff73
TM
159- dhclient will now generate a DHCPv6 DECLINE message containing all IA_NA
160 addresses which for which the client script indicates a DAD failure. After
161 receiving the DECLINE reply, dhclient will restart the solicit process.
162 Note, the client script must exit with a value of 3 to signify that the
163 address failed DAD. Thanks to Jiri Popelka of Red Hat for submitting the
164 patch that was the foundation for this change.
9de870cc 165 **NOTE: THIS IS CHANGE IN DEFAULT BEHAVIOR.

f0f3555e 168 [ISC-Bugs #36966]
0f69ff73 169
30593241
TM
170- Replaced compilation option, enable-secs-byteorder, with a run-time, server
171 configuration parameter, check-secs-byte-order. When enabled, the
172 server will check for clients that do the byte ordering on the secs field
173 incorrectly. This field should be in network byte order but some clients
174 get it wrong. When this parameter is enabled the server will examine the
175 secs field and if it looks wrong (high byte non zero and low byte zero) swap
176 the bytes. The default is disabled. This parameter is only useful when
177 doing load balancing within failover.
178 [ISC-Bugs #45364]
179
bafa7b74
TM
180- Added --release-on-roam to dhcpd server. When enabled and the server detects
181 that a DHCPv6 client (IAID+DUID) has roamed to a new network, it will release
182 the pre-existing leases on the old network and emit a log statement similar
183 to the following:
59336f80
TM
184
185 "Client: <id> roamed to new network, releasing lease: <address>"
186
187 The server will carry out all of the same steps that would normally occur
bafa7b74
TM
188 when a client explicitly releases a lease. This behavior is disabled by
189 default and may only be specified globally. Prior to this the server renders
190 the leases unavailable until they expire or the server is restarted. Clients
191 that need leases in multiple networks must supply a unique IAID in each IA.
192 When release-on-roam is disabled (the default) the server maintains the
193 prior behavior of making such leases unavailable until they expire or the
194 server is restarted. Clients that need leases in multiple networks must
195 supply a unique IAID in each IA. This parameter may only be specified at
196 the global level. Thanks to Fernando Soto from BlueCat Networks for
197 suggesting this change.

b53ba157
TM
201- The default value for server (-6) parameter, prefix-length-mode, has been
202 changed from "exact" to "prefer". In "prefer" mode the server will offer
203 the first available prefix with the same length as that requested by the
204 client. If none are found then it will offer the first available prefix of
205 any length. This is more in line with with RFC 8168 and should improve
206 the out-of-the-box user experience.

b53ba157
TM
208 [ISC-Bugs #45615]
209
bbdac71d
TM
210- Added support for 'dhcp-cache-threshold' to IPv6 operation: If a client
211 renews before 'dhcp-cache-threshold' percent of its lease has elapsed
212 (default 25%), the server will reuse the allocated lease (provide a
213 lease within the currently allocated lease-time) rather than extend or
214 renew the lease. This allows the server to reply without needlessly
215 writing leases to disk. The preferred and valid lease lifetimes
216 sent to the client will be reduced by the age of the lease. The option
217 may be specified down to the pool level and is supported for all three
218 pool types: NA, TA, and PD.
219 [ISC-Bugs #45292]
220
905c58b9
TM
221- Added three new server configuration parameters which influence DDNS:
222 1. ddns-dual-stack-mixed-mode - alters DNS conflict resolution behavior
223 to mitigate issues with non-compliant clients in dual stack environments.
224
225 2. ddns-guard-id-must-match - relaxes the DHCID RR client id matching
226 requirement of DNS conflict resolution.
227
2f3eca17 228 3. ddns-other-guard-is-dynamic - alters dual-stack-mixed-mode behavior to
905c58b9
TM
229 allow unguarded DNS entries to be overwritten in certain cases

TM
231 [ISC-Bugs #42621]
232 [ISC-Bugs #44753]
905c58b9 233
e6ffc27f
TM
234- A "key-algorithm <algorithm>" statement has been added to omshell to
235 allow the specification of the key algorithm to use during transaction
236 authentication. Prior to this it was hard-coded to be hmac-md5. It now
237 supports all of the same algorithms as the dhcpd server: hmac-md5 (the
238 default), hmac-sha1, hmac-sha224, hmac-sha256, hmac-sha384, and hmac-sha512.
239 [ISC-Bugs #46771]
240
c2e5ee28
TM
241- Added a server configuration parameter, persist-eui-64-leases, which
242 determines whether or not EUI-64 based leases are written to the
243 leases file. Default is true.
244 [ISC-Bugs #45046]
245
140612c8 246- Changed the default value of the prefix length passed by dhclient into the
a804fcc0
TM
247 client script for each IPv6 address from 64 to 128. This was done to comply
248 with RFC3315bis draft (-09, page 64) and RFC5942, Section 4, point 1.
249 In addition, dhclient now supports a command line argument,
250 --address-prefix-len, which may be used to override the default value.
251 **WARNING**: This change may not be backwardly compatible with your
252 environment. If you are operating without a router, such as between VMs on
253 a host, you may find they cannot see each with prefix length of 128. In
254 such cases, you'll need to either provide routing or use the command line
255 parameter to set the value to 64. Alternatively you may change the default
256 at compile time by setting DHCLIENT_DEFAULT_PREFIX_LEN in includes/site.h.

fa6c4c08 258 [ISC-Bugs #37221]
140612c8 259
f1fc5ede 260- Modified dhclient (-6) to bypass sending a confirm (INIT REBOOT) when it has
a804fcc0 261 only expired address associations. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for
f1fc5ede
TM
262 raising the issue and submitting the patch.
263 [ISC-Bugs #22675]
264
4406f9b0
TM
265- Support for delayed-ack is now compiled in by default. Prior to this
266 it had to be enabled at compile time via --enable-delayed-acks. The
267 default value for delayed-ack, however, has been changed from 28 to 0
268 (i.e. disabled). This was done to minimize the impact on users not
269 currently using the feature. Please note that the delayed-ack feature
700e3fca
TM
270 is not currently compatible with support for DHPCv4-over-DHCPv6 so
271 when a 4to6 port command line argument enables this in the server the
272 delayed-ack value is reset to 0.
4406f9b0
TM
273 [ISC-Bugs #42446]
274
f1208e79
TM
275- The server (-6) now honors the parameter, update-static-leases, for static
276 (fixed-address6) DHCPv6 leases. It is worth noting that because stateful
277 data is not retained by the server for static leases, each time a client
278 requests or renews a static lease, the server will perform DDNS updates for
279 it. This may have significant performance implications for environments
280 with many clients that request or renew static leases often. Similarly,
281 the DNS entries will not be removed by server when a client issues a RELEASE
282 nor if the lease is deleted from the configuration. In such cases the DNS
283 entries must be removed manually. This feature is disabled by default.
17689a82
TM

f1208e79 289
a2a0f98c
FD
290- Added to the server (-6) a new statement, local-address6, which specifies
291 the source address of packets sent by the server. An additional flag,
ab77c8b8
TM
292 bind-local-address6, disabled by default, binds the service socket to
293 to local-address6. Note that bind-local-address does not work with direct
294 clients: a relay has to forward packets to the server using the
295 local-address6 destination.
a2a0f98c
FD
296 [ISC-Bugs #46084]
297
563f0b8a 298- Added experimental support for relay port (draft-ietf-dhc-relay-port-10.txt)
9de870cc
TM
299 feature for DHCPv4, DHCPv6 and DHCPv4-over-DHCPv6. Relay port has to be
300 enabled at compile time via --enable-relay-port and is fully backward
301 compatible (i.e. works with previous implementations of servers and relays
302 using the standard ports). A new --rp <relay-port> command line option
303 specifies to dhcrelay an alternate source port for upstream (i.e. toward
304 the server) messages. Thanks to Naiming Shen and Enke Chen of Cisco
305 systems for submitting these patches.

307
0e76cb91 308 Changes since 4.3.6 (Bugs):
0b0a1399 309
0e76cb91
TM
310- Corrected an issue where the server would return a client's previously
311 released prefix lease even when the client provides a prefix length
312 hint that does not match the prior lease. Now the server will only
313 return the previous lease if it exactly matches the hint. If not
314 it will attempt to allocate a new prefix based on the hint and the
315 prefix-length-mode. Thanks to Tim DeNike - Lightspeed Communications
316 for pointing out the error of our ways.
317 [ISC-bugs #45780]
d1489a35 318
a804fcc0 319- Added explicit include of BIND9 isc/util.h to adapt to revisions
0e76cb91
TM
320 in BIND9 (see BIND9 ticket #46311). Prior to this the build was failing
321 with implicit function declarations errors for POST() and INSIST().
322 [ISC-bugs #46332]
d1489a35 323
0e76cb91
TM
324- Added to code ignore empty IPv4 host name option (code 12). While RFC 2132
325 states the option cannot be empty, some clients are apparently capable of
326 sending it. Prior to this the server was attempting to use it and store it
327 in the lease file causing issues with DDNS and so forth.
328 [ISC-bugs #43786]
d1489a35 329
9de870cc
TM
330- Corrected dhclient command line parsing for --dad-wait-time that causes
331 even valid values to fail as invalid on some environments.
332 [ISC-Bugs #46535]
333
0e76cb91
TM
334- Replaced iasubopt::heap_index with separate values for active and inactive
335 heaps: iasubopt::active_index and iasubopt::inactive_index. This was done
a804fcc0 336 to accommodate a change in behavior in BIND9 isc_heap_delete().
0e76cb91 337 [ISC-bugs #46719]

0e76cb91
TM
339! Plugged a socket descriptor leak in OMAPI, that can occur when there is
340 data pending to be written to an OMAPI connection, when the connection
341 is closed by the reader. Thanks to Pavel Zhukov at RedHat for bringing
342 this issue to our attention and whose patch helped guide us in the right
343 direction.
344 [ISC-Bugs #46767]
4f553fea 345
9de870cc
TM
346- The ability of the server to send back dhcp6.vendor-opts values has been
347 restored. A change in 4.3.5 (see #29246) which enabled it to send back the
348 FQDN option unfortunately broke its ability send back dhcp6.vendor-opts.
349 Thanks to Sumant Gupta (sumantgupta at gmail dot com) of Landis+Gry for
350 bringing this issue to our attention.
351 [ISC-Bugs #46427]
352
ab77c8b8
TM
353- The server now recognizes environment variables PATH_DHCPD_DB and
354 PATH_DHCPD_PID. These had been incorrectly compiled out of the code
355 unless DHCPv6 support was disabled. Additionally, the server man
356 pages were corrected to accurately reflect how the server chooses
357 file names (see lease-file-name and pid-file-name statements). Thanks
358 to Fernando Soto at Bluecat for bringing this matter to our attention.
359 [ISC-Bugs #46859]
360
9de870cc
TM
361- Removed an "Impossible condition" error upon exit in the dhcpd server that
362 has been shutdown via OMAPI. This condition was only apparent under Solaris
363 when building with --enable-use-sockets and --enable-ipv4-pktinfo.
364 [ISC-Bugs #36118]
365
366- Corrected some minor coverity issues: CID 1426059, 1426058, and 1426057.

0e76cb91
TM
375- The server now allows the client identifier (option 61) to own leases
376 in more than one subnet concurrently. Prior to this the server would
377 incorrectly release an existing lease in one subnet prior to assigning
378 a lease in another subnet. Note that the prior behavior can be still
379 be achieved by enabling one-lease-per-client. Thanks to both David Zych at
380 the University of Illinois and Norm Proffitt of Infoblox for reporting
381 the issue; and Norm for suggesting a solution.
382 [ISC-Bugs #41358]
ad06e7ba 383
0e76cb91
TM
384- When replying to a DHCPINFORM, the server will now include options specified
385 at the pool scope, provided the ciaddr field of the DHCPINFORM is populated.
386 Prior to this the server only evaluated options down to the subnet scope.
387 Thanks to Fernando Soto at BlueCat Networks for reporting the issue.

b7bfb2c7 394
0e76cb91
TM
395- The new lmdb (Lightning Memory DataBase) bind9 configure option is
396 now disabled by default to avoid the presence of this library to be
397 detected which can lead to a link failure.

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

417- On 64-bit platforms, dhclient now generates the correct value for the
418 script environment variable, "expiry", the lease expiry value exceeds
419 0x7FFFFFFF. Prior to this such values would produce negative values
420 for expiry in the script environment.

430 spaces, special, or non-printable characters. Prior to this the buffer

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

444- Altered DHCPv4 lease time calculation to avoid roll over errors on 64-bit
445 OS systems when using -1 or large values for default-lease-time. Rollover
446 values will be replaced with 0x7FFFFFFF - 1. This alleviates unintentionally
447 short expiration times being handed out when infinite lease times (-1) in
448 conjunction with failover. Our thanks to Alessandro Gherardi for bringing
449 the issue to our attention.

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

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

480 opened by the server (dhcpd) at startup if ddns-update-style is not "none";
481 by dhclient only if and when the it first attempts an update; and never by
482 dhcrelay. Prior to this all three always did the initialization at startup
483 which causes them to always open on and listen for traffic on two random
484 ports. Thanks to Rodney Beede for reporting this issue.

807- Add support for RFC 7341 DHCPv4 over DHCPv6 with a new configuration
808 option "--enable-dhcpv4o6". Note this feature requires DHCPv6 support
809 and is not compatible with delayed-ack. Both client and server use 2
810 processes which communicate over UDP on a pair of sockets. The new
811 "-4o6 <port>" command line argument enables DHCPv4 over DHCPv6 support
812 and specifies the consecutive ports to use for inter-process communication.
813 Please look at doc/DHCPv4-over-DHCPv6 for more details.

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

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

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

886- Write out the DUID server id on startup in all cases, previously if it
887 was read in from server-duid option in the config or lease files for
888 DHCPv4 it would not be written to the new lease file.
889 [ISC-Bugs #37791]

894 or add a lease entry with a date far in the future.

909
910- Add support for accessing the v4 lease queues (active, free etc) in a
911 binary fashion instead of needing to walk through a linear list to
912 insert, find or remove an entry from the queues. In addition add a
913 compile time option "--enable-binary-leases" to enable the new code
914 or to continue using the old code. The old code is the default.
915 Thanks to Fernando Soto from BlueCat Networks for the patch.

917
918- Delayed-ack now works properly with Failover. Prior to this, bind updates
919 post startup were being queued but never delivered. Among other things, this
920 was causing leases to not transition from expired or released to free.
921 [ISC-Bugs #31474]

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

928 client is performing its own DNS updates. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat
929 for the bug report.
930 [ISC-Bugs #38639]
931
932- Corrected an issue in v6 lease file parsing. Prior to this, when encountering
933 a lease with an address for which no configured pool exists, the server was
934 declaring the lease file corrupt and incorrectly skipping over the subsequent
935 entry in the file. The server will now emit a log message indicating that
936 no pool was found for the address (or prefix) and correctly resume parsing
937 with the next entry in the lease file. Our thanks to Michal Žejdl for
938 reporting the issue.
939 [ISC-Bugs #39314]
940
941- Be more liberal in finding a subnet group associated with a static
942 prefix. When we added the class matching code for v6 we also added
943 a requirement that the static prefix must be within a subnet the
944 client was in, in order to find the proper statements. We now
945 look for a subnet based on the prefix, failing that on the static
946 address for the client and failing that on the shared network
947 itself.
948 [ISC-Bugs #38329]
949
950- Add a new action expression "parse_vendor_options", which can be used
951 to parse a vendor-encapsualted-option received by the server based on
952 the encoding specified by the vendor-option-space statement.
953 [ISC-Bugs #36449]
954
955- Enhance the PARANOIA patch to include fchown() the lease file to
956 allow it to be manipulated after the server does a chown().
957 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the patch.
958 [ISC-Bugs #36978]
959
960- Relax the requirement that prefix pools must be within the subnet.
961 This was added in as part of #32453 in order to avoid configuration
962 mistakes but is being removed as prefixes aren't required to be
963 within the same subnet and many people configure them in that fashion.
964 [ISC-Bugs #40077]
965
966- Fixed a server crash that could occur when the server attempts to remove
967 the billing class from the last lease billed to a dynamic class after said
968 class has been deleted. Our thanks to Lasse Pesonen for reporting the
969 issue.

1009 The error occurs on Linux variants that do not support VLAN tag information
1010 in packet auxiliary data. The configure script now only enables inclusion
1011 of the VLAN tag-based logic if it is supported by the underlying OS.

1015
1016- Specifying the option, --disable-debug, on the configure script command line
1017 now disables debug features. Prior to this, specifying --disable-debug
1018 incorrectly enabled debug features. Thanks to Gustavo Zacarias for reporting
1019 the issue.
1020 [ISC-Bugs #37780]
1021
1022- Unit test execution now uses a path augmented during configuration
1023 processing of the --with-atf option to locate ATF runtime tools, atf-run
1024 and atf-report. For most installations of ATF, this should alleviate the
1025 need to manually include them in the PATH, as was formerly required.
1026 If the configure script cannot locate the tools it will emit a warning,
1027 informing the user that the tools must be in the PATH when running unit
1028 tests.
1029 Secondly, please note that "make check" will now exit with a failure status
1030 code (non-zero) if one or more unit tests fail. This means that invoking
1031 "make check" from an upper level directory will cause the make process to
1032 STOP after the first test subdirectory with failed test(s). To force all
1033 tests in all subdirectories to run, regardless of individual test outcome,
1034 use the command "make -k check".

1061- Addressed Coverity issues reported as of 07-31-2014:
1062 [ISC-Bugs #36712] Corrects Coverity reported "high" impact issues.
1063 [ISC-Bugs #36933] Corrects Coverity reported "medium" impact issues
1064 [ISC-Bugs #37708] Fixes compilation error in dst_api.c seen in older

1066
1067- Server now supports a failover split value of 256.
1068 [ISC-Bugs] #36664]
1069
1070- Remove unneeded error #defines. These defines were included in case
1071 external programs required the older versions of the macro. They
1072 have been #ifdeffed for now and will be removed at a future date.
1073 See site.h for the #define to include them again, but you should
1074 switch to using the DHCP_R_* versions instead of the ISC_R_* versions.
1075 Also ISC_R_MULTIPLE has been removed as it is also defined in bind.
1076 [ISC-Bugs #37128]
1077
1078- Added checks in range6 and prefix6 statement parsing to ensure addresses
1079 are within the declared subnet. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the

1087- Addressed checksum issues:
1088 Added checksum readiness check to Linux packet filtering which eliminates
1089 invalid packet drops due to checksum errors when checksum offloading is
1090 in use. Based on dhcp-4.2.2-xen-checksum.patch made to the Fedora project.

1100 [ISC-Bugs #25587]
1101
1102- Added the echo-client-id configuration parameter to the server configuration.
1103 The server now supports RFC 6842 compliant behavior by setting a new
1104 configuration parameter, echo-client-id. When enabled, the server will
1105 include the client identifier option (Option code 61) if received, in its
1106 responses. The server identifier returned in NAKs (if enabled) will now
1107 be the globally defined value (if one) if the server cannot attribute the
1108 inbound request to a known subnet.
1109 [ISC-Bugs #35958]
1110 [ISC-Bugs #32545]
1111
1112- Added support of the configuration parameter, use-host-decl-names, to
1113 BOOTP request handling.
1114 [ISC-Bugs #36233]
1115
1116- Added logic to ignore the signal, SIGPIPE, which ensures write failures
1117 will be delivered as errors rather than as SIGPIPE signals on all OSs.
1118 Thanks to Marius Tomaschewski from SUSE who reported the issue and provided
1119 the patch upon which the fix is based.
1120 [ISC-Bugs #32222]
1121
1122- In the failover code, handle the case of communications being interrupted
1123 when the servers are dealing with POTENTIAL-CONFLICT. This patch allows
1124 the primary to accept the secondary moving from POTENTIAL-CONFLICT to
1125 RESOLUTION-INTERRUPTED as well as handling the bind update process better.
1126 In addition the code to resend update or update all requests has been
1127 modified to send requests more often.
1128 [ISC-Bugs #36810]
1129 [ISC-Bugs #20352]
1130
1131- By default, the server will now choose the value to use in the forward DNS
1132 name from the following in order of preference:
1133
1134 1. FQDN option if provided by the client
1135 2. Host name option if provided by the client
1136 3. Configured option host-name if defined
1137
1138 As before, this may be overridden by defining ddns-hostname to the desired
1139 value (or expression). In addition, the server logic has been extended to
1140 use the value of the host name declaration if use-host-decl-names is enabled
1141 and no other value is available.
1142 [ISC-Bugs #21323]
1143
1144- DNS updates were being attempted when dhcp-cache-threshold enabled the use of
1145 the existing lease and the forward DNS name had not changed. This has been
1146 corrected.
1147 [ISC-Bugs #37368]
1148 [ISC-Bugs #38636]
1149
1150- Corrected an issue which caused dhclient to incorrectly form the result when
1151 prepending or appending to the IPv4 domain-search option, received from the
1152 server, when either of the values being combined contain compressed
1153 components.
1154 [ISC-Bugs #20558]
1155
1156- Added the server-id-check parameter to the server configuration.
1157 This parameter allows run-time control over whether or not a server,
1158 participating in failover, verifies the dhcp-server-identifier option in
1159 DHCP REQUESTs against the server's id before processing the request.
1160 Formerly, enabling this behavior was done at compilation time through
1161 the use of the #define, SERVER_ID_CHECK, which has been removed from site.h
1162 The functionality is now only available through the new runtime parameter.
1163 [ISC-Bugs #37551]
1164
1165- During startup, when the server encounters a lease whose binding state is
1166 FTS_BACKUP but whose pool has no configured failover peer, it will reset the
1167 lease's binding state to FTS_FREE. This allows the leases to be reclaimed
1168 by the server after a pool's configuration has changed from failover to
1169 standalone. Prior to this such leases would remain stuck in the backup state
1170 making them unavailable for assignment. Note this conversion will occur
1171 whether or not the server is compiled for failover.
1172 [ISC-Bugs #36960]
1173
1174- Fixed a small issue in the treatment of hosts in the inform processing
1175 that could cause the response to an inform to include information from
1176 the wrong scope. The two examples we've heard of are getting subnet
1177 instead of group information associated with a host entry, or getting
1178 global information instead of subnet if the host entry was built via
1179 omapi. Thanks to Julien Soula at University of Lille for finding the
1180 bug and supplying a patch.
1181 [ISC-Bugs #35712]
1182
1183- Avoid calling pool_timer() recursively from supersede_lease(). This could
1184 result in leases changing state incorrectly or delaying the running of the
1185 leae expiration code.
1186 [ISC-Bugs #38002]
1187
1188- Move the check for a PID file and process to be before we rewrite the
1189 lease file. This avoids the possibility of starting a second instance
1190 of a server which changes the current lease file confusing the first
1191 instance. This check is only included if the admin hasn't disabled PID
1192 files.
1193 [ISC-Bugs #38078]
1194 [ISC-Bugs #38143]
1195
1196- In the client code change the way preferred_life and max_life are printed
1197 for environment variables to be unsigned rather than signed.
1198 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the bug report and patch.
1199 [ISC-Bugs #37084]
1200
1201- Modified Linux packet handling such that packets received via VLAN are now
1202 seen only by the VLAN interface. Prior to this, such packets were seen by
1203 both the VLAN interface and its parent (physical) interface, causing the
1204 server to respond to both. Note this remains an issue for non-Linux OSs.
1205 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the patch.

1210
1211- Log content has been changed to more directly suggest that admins should
1212 check for multiple IPv6 clients attempting to use the same DUID when only
1213 abandoned addresses are available. Debug level logging will now emit counts
1214 of the total number of, in-use, and abandoned addresses in a shared subnet
1215 when the server finds no addresses available for a given DUID. Lastly,
1216 threshold logging is now automatically disabled for shared subnets whose
1217 total number of possible addresses exceeds (2^64)-1.
1218 [ISC-Bugs #26376]
1219 [ISC-Bugs #38131]
1220
1221- Added a global parameter, prefix-length-mode, which may be used to determine
1222 how the server uses a non-zero value for prefix-length supplied by clients
1223 when soliciting DHCPv6 prefixes. The server supports selection modes of:
1224 ignore, prefer, exact, minimum and maximum which are described in detail in
1225 the server man pages. The prior behavior of the server was to only offer a
1226 prefix whose length exactly matched the prefix-length value requested. If
1227 no such prefixes were available, the server returned a status of none
1228 available. Note the default mode, "exact", provides this same behavior.
1229 [ISC-Bugs #36780]
1230 [ISC-Bugs #32228]
1231
1232- Corrected inconsistencies in dhcrelay's setting the upper interface hop count
1233 limit such that it now sets it to 32 when the upstream address is a multicast
1234 address per RFC 3315 Section 20. Prior to this if the -u argument preceded
1235 the -l argument on the command line or if the same interface was specified
1236 for both; the logic to set the hop limit count for the upper interface was
1237 skipped. This caused the hop count limit to be set to the default value
1238 (typically 1) in the outbound upstream packets.

51b8a8a0
SR
1400
1401- If a client renews before 'dhcp-cache-threshold' percent of its lease
1402 has elapsed (default 25%), the server will reuse the allocated lease
1403 (provide a lease within the currently allocated lease-time) rather
1404 than extend or renew the lease. This absolves the server of needing
1405 to perform an fsync() operation on the lease database before reply,
1406 which improves performance. [ISC-Bugs #22228]
80778e94 1407 Updated this patch to support asynchronous DDNS. If the server is
adb95d23 1408 attempting to do DDNS on a lease it should be updated and written to
4809ef5c 1409 disk even if that wouldn't be necessary due to the thresholding.

1413 matching billing class tried before failing to provide a billing.

32e651c4
SR
1416- A problem with missing get_hw_addr function when --enable-use-sockets
1417 was used is now solved on GNU/Linux, BSD and GNU/Hurd systems. Note
1418 that use-sockets feature was not tested on those systems. Client and
1419 server code no longer use MAX_PATH constant that is not defined on
3cb6f9bb 1420 GNU/Hurd systems. [ISC-Bugs #25979]
32e651c4 1421
67418698
SR
1422- Add a perl script in the contrib directory, dhcp-lease-list.pl, which
1423 can parse v4 lease files and output the lease information in a more
1424 human friendly manner. This was written by Christian Hammers with
1425 some updates by vom and ISC. This is contributed code and is not
1426 supported by ISC; however it may be useful to some users.
1427 [ISC-Bugs #20680]
1428

1433 [ISC-Bugs #26510]
1434
d7d9c0c7
SR
1435- Update the DDNS code to current standards and allow for sharing
1436 of DDNS entries between v4 and v6 clients. The new code is used
1437 if the ddns-update-style is set to "standard", the older code is
1438 still available if ddns-update-style is set to "interim". The
1439 oldest DDNS code "ad-hoc" has been removed. Thanks to Thomas Pegeot
1440 who submitted a patch for this issue. This patch is based on
1441 that work with some modifications.
64fb661c 1442 [ISC-Bugs #21139]
1534fff7 1443
cde11a4c
SR
1444- Add a configuration option to the server to suppress using fsync().
1445 Enabling this option will mean that fsync() is never called. This
1446 may provide better performance but there is also a risk that a lease
1447 will not be properly written to the disk after it has been issued
1448 to a client and before the server stops. Using this option is
1449 not recommended.
64fb661c 1450 [ISC-Bugs #34810]
cde11a4c 1451
f88446f1
SR
1452- Add some logging statements to indicate when the server is ready
1453 to serve. One statement is emitted after the server has finished
1454 reading its files and is about to enter the dispatch loop.
1455 This is "Server starting service.".
1456 The second is emitted when a server determines that both it and
1457 its failover peer are in the normal state.
1458 This is "failover peer <name>: Both servers normal."
64fb661c 1459 [ISC-Bugs #33208]
f88446f1 1460
619304cd
SR
1461- Add support for accessing options from v6 relays. The v6relay
1462 statement allows the administrator to choose which relay to
1463 use when searching for an option, see the dhcp-options man page
6b9c9f87
SR
1464 for a description. The host-identifier option has also been
1465 updated to support the use of relay options, see the dhcpd.conf
619304cd
SR
1466 man page for a description.
1467 [ISC-Bugs #19598]
1468
e54ff84f 1469- When doing DDNS if there isn't an appropriate zone statement attempt
80778e94 1470 to find a reasonable nameserver via a DNS resolver. This restores
e54ff84f
SR
1471 some functionality that was lost in the transition to asynchronous
1472 DDNS. Due to the lack of security and increase in fragility of the
1473 system when using this feature we strongly recommend the use of
1474 appropriate zone statements rather than using this functionality.
1475 [ISC-Bugs #30461]
1476
61ef216b
SR
1477- Add support for specifying the address from which to send
1478 DDNS updates on the DHCP server. There are two new options
1479 "ddns-local-address4" and "ddns-local-address6" that each take
1480 one instance of their respective address types.
1481 [ISC-Bugs #34779]
4d079f0e 1482
38ee81bd
SR
1483- Add ignore-client-uids option in the server. This option causes
1484 the server to not record a client's uid in its lease. This
1485 violates the specification but may also be useful when a client
1486 can dual boot using different client ids but the same mac address.

7dc4e69c 1516
01a44a77
SR
1517- An optimization described in the failover protocol draft is now included,
1518 which permits a DHCP server operating in communications-interrupted state
1519 to 'rewind' a lease to the state most recently transmitted to its peer,
1520 greatly increasing a server's endurance in communications-interrupted.
1521 This is supported using a new 'rewind state' record on the dhcpd.leases
1522 entry for each lease.
c5bc8b1a 1523
01a44a77 1524- Fix the trace code which was broken by the changes to the DDNS code.
d0a10f6a 1525
01a44a77
SR
1526- Update the fsync code to work with the changes to the DDNS code. It now
1527 uses a timer instead of noticing if there are no more packets to process.
dc9d7b08 1528
01a44a77
SR
1529- When constructing the DNS name structure from a text string append
1530 the root to relative names. This satisfies a requirement in the DNS
1531 library that names be absolute instead of relative and prevents DHCP
1532 from crashing. [ISC-Bugs #21054]
a24b9f23 1533
01a44a77
SR
1534- "The LDAP Patch" that has been circulating for some time, written by
1535 Brian Masney and S.Kalyanasundraram and maintained for application to
1536 the DHCP-4 sources by David Cantrell has been included. Please be
1537 advised that these sources were contributed, and do not yet meet the
1538 high standards we place on production sources we include by default.
1539 As a result, the LDAP features are only included by using a compile-time
1540 option which defaults off, and if you enable it you do so under your
1541 own recognizance. We will be improving this software over time.

1547! Accept a client id of length 0 while hashing. Previously the server would

08b2d347 1553
01a44a77
SR
1554- Modify the exception handling for initial context creation. Previously
1555 we would try and clean up before exiting. This could present problems
1556 when the cleanup required part of the context that wasn't available. It
1557 also didn't do much as we exited afterwards anyway. Now we simply log
1558 the error and exit. [ISC-Bugs #21093]
ad4001ce 1559
01a44a77
SR
1560- A bug was fixed that could cause the DHCPv6 server to advertise/assign a
1561 previously allocated (active) lease to a client that has changed subnets,
1562 despite being on different shared networks. Dynamic prefixes specifically
1563 allocated in shared networks also now are not offered if the client has
1564 moved. [ISC-Bugs #21152]

01a44a77
SR
1571- Modify the determination of the default TTL to use for DDNS updates.
1572 The user may still configure the ttl via ddns-ttl. The default for
1573 both v4 and v6 is now 1/2 the (preferred) lease time with a limit. The
1574 previous defaults (1/2 lease time without a limit for v4 and a default
1575 value for v6) may be used by defining USE_OLD_DDNS_TTL in site.h

2043! Previously the server code was relaxed to allow packets with zero
2044 length client ids to be processed. Under some situations use of
2045 zero length client ids can cause the server to go into an infinite
2046 loop. As such ids are not valid according to RFC 2132 section 9.14
2047 the server no longer accepts them. Client ids with a length of 1
2048 are also invalid but the server still accepts them in order to
2049 minimize disruption. The restriction will likely be tightened in
2050 the future to disallow ids with a length of 1.

2236 the system the DHCP software is operating on in responses or queries (such
2237 as including a failover partner's hostname in a dhcp message or binding

2294 address will no longer appear 'bogus' on DLPI-based systems.
2295

2374- Fixed the check in the dhcp_interface_signal_handler routine to verify
2375 the existence of the linked signal handler before calling it.
2376
2267da84
DH
2377- Both host and subnet6 configuration groups are now included whether a
2378 fixed-address6 (DHCPv6) is in use or not. Host scoped configuration takes
2379 precedence. This fixes two bugs, one where host scoped configuration
2380 would not be included from a non-fixed-address6 host record, and the equal
2381 and opposite bug where subnet6 scoped configuration would not be used when
571c38b0 2382 over-riding values were not present in a matching fixed-address6 host
2267da84
DH
2383 configuration.

2385- ./configure now checks to ensure the intX_t and u_intX_t types are defined,
2386 correcting a compilation failure when using Sun's compiler.
2387
0493fdca
SR
2388- Modified the handling of a connection to avoid releasing the omapi io
2389 object for the connection while it is still in use. One symptom from
2390 this error was a segfault when a failover secondary attempted to connect
2391 to the failover primary if their clocks were not synchronized.
2392
95bba8b6
SR
2393- Clean up to allow compilation with gcc 2.95.4 on FreeBSD. Remove an
2394 extra semi-colon from common/dns.c and moved setting a variable to NULL
2395 in server/dhcpv6.c to allow the compiler to decide that the variable
9a111ee8 2396 was always properly set.

DH
2403 Changes since 4.1.0a2
2404
2405- A cosmetic bug in DHCPDECLINE processing was fixed which caused all
2406 successful DHCPDECLINEs to be logged as "not found" rather than
2407 "abandoned".

1387545f
DH
2411- Some failover debugging #defines have been better defined and some
2412 high frequency messages moved to a deeper debugging symbol.
2413
2414- The CLTT parameter in failover is now only updated by client activity,
2415 and not by failover binding updates (taking on the peer's CLTT).
2416
2417- Failover BNDUPD messages are now discarded if they conflict with an
d7ac7a27 2418 update that has been transmitted, but not acknowledged.
1387545f 2419
399d3dbe
DH
2420- A bug cleaning up unknown-xxx temporary option definitions was fixed.

fbcee149
DH
2422- Delayed-ack is now a compile-time option, compiled out by default.
2423 This feature is simply too experimental for right now, and causes
2424 some problems to some failover installations. We will revisit this
2425 in future releases.
2426
f1672d89
DH
2427- The !inet_pton() call in res_mkupdrec was adjusted to '<= 0' as
2428 inet_pton returns either 1, 0, or -1.
2429
236d3a99
DH
2430- A dhclient-script for MacOS X has been included, which enables
2431 'dhclient -6' support.
2432
efa5e6b9
DH
2433- DDNS removal routines were updated so that the DHCID is not removed until
2434 the client has been deprived of all A and AAAA records (not only the last
2435 one of either of those). This resolves a bug where dual stack clients
2436 would not be able to regain their names after either expiration event.

2445 routers option before the subnet mask option were receiving
2446 only the latter. Fixed.

2450- A partner-down failover server no longer emits 'peer holds all free leases'
2451 if it is able to newly-allocate one of the peer's leases.

2457- Ari Edelkind's PARANOIA patch has been included and may be compiled in
2458 via two ./configure parameters, --enable-paranoia and
2459 --enable-early-chroot.

2462 as failover, server tracing, debugging, and the execute() command.

f8cbf390
DH
2464- There is now a default 1/4 of a second scheduled delay between delayed
2465 fsync()'s, it can be configured by the max-ack-delay configuration
2466 parameter.

2469 hosts were given odd-looking domain names ("foo.bar.ba.example.com").

2471- Shared network selection should be done from the innermost relay
2472 valid link-address field, rather than the outermost.

2481
9ac4206a
DH
2482- DHCPv6 vendor-class options (VSIO) are now only sent when they appear
2483 on the DHCPv6 ORO. This resolves a bug where VSIO options were placed
2484 in IA_NA encapsulated options fields.
2485
420d8b3f

2486- Integrated client with stateless, temporary address and prefix delegation
2487 support.

2496- Merge DHCPv6-only "dhcrelay6" into general-purpose "dhcrelay" (use
2497 "-6" option to select DHCPv6 mode).

d352732e
EH
2499- Fix handling of -A and -a flags in dhcrelay; it was failing to expand
2500 packet size as needed to add relay agent options.
2501
7d6180be
DH
2502- A bug in subnet6 parsing where options contained in subnet6 clauses would
2503 not be applied to clients addressed within that network was repaired.
2504
2505- When configuring a "subnet {}" or "subnet6 {}" without an explicit
2506 shared-network enclosing it, the DHCP software would synthesize a
2507 shared-network to contain the subnet. However, all configuration
2508 parameters within the subnet more intuitively belong "to any client
2509 on that interface", or rather the synthesized shared-network. So,
2510 when a shared-network is synthesized, it is used to contain the
2511 configuration present inside the subnet {} clause. This means that
2512 the configuration will be valid for all clients on that network, not
2513 just those addressed out of the stated subnet. If you intended the
2514 opposite, the workaround is to explicitly configure an empty
2515 shared-network.
2516
2517- A bug was fixed where Information-Request processing was not sourcing
2518 configured option values.
2519
2520- A warning was added since the DHCPv6 processing software does not yet
2521 support class statements.

adb95d23 2523- Compilation warnings on GCC 4.3 relating to bootp source address
dd484ced
DH
2524 selection were repaired.

ecddae64
DH
2526- The v6 BSD socket method was updated to use a single UDP BSD socket
2527 no matter how many interfaces are involved, differentiating the
2528 interfaces the packets were received on by the interface index supplied
2529 by the OS.
2530
2531- The relay agent no longer listens to the All DHCP Servers Multicast
2532 address.
2533

2535 once for two invocations of vsprintf() variants.

d104d45b
DH
2537- ERO (RFC 4994) server support.
2538
2539- Basic and partial DHCPv6 leasequery support.
2540

2546- Added DHCPv6 rapid commit support.
2547
4cafb815 2548- Added explicit parser support for zero-length DHCP options, such as
6d7f9584 2549 rapid-commit, via format code 'Z'.
4cafb815 2550
022fe95e
EH
2551- It's now possible to update the "ends" field of a lease with OMAPI.
2552 This is useful if you want not only to release a lease, but also make
2553 it available for reuse right away. Hat tip to Christof Chen.
2554
9a111ee8 2555- Fixed definition of the iaaddr hash functions to use the correct
1dcc3612

900405e9
FD
2565- NoAddrsAvail answers to SOLICITs are always ADVERTISEs even when a SOLICIT
2566 carries a rapid-commit option.
2567
96b620e5
FD
2568- Return in place of raise an impossible condition when one tries to release
2569 an empty active lease.

be62cf06
FD
2571- Timer granularity is now 1/100s in the DHCPv6 client.
2572
01a54c17
EH
2573- The dhclient-script was updated to create a host route for the default
2574 gateway if the supplied subnet mask for an IPv4 address was a /32. This
2575 allows the client to work in 'captive' network environments, where the
2576 operator does not want clients to crosstalk directly.
2577
adb95d23 2578- MINUS tokens should be parsable again.
01a54c17
EH
2579
2580- Multiple (up to "delayed-ack x;" maximum) DHCPv4 packets are now queued and
2581 released in bursts after single fsync() events when the upper limit is
2582 reached or if the receiving sockets go dry. The practical upshot is
2583 that fsync-coupled server performance is now multiplicitively increased.
2584 The default delayed ack limit is 28. Thanks entirely to a patch from
2585 Christof Chen.
2586
2587 Changes since 4.0.0 (bug fixes)
2588
2589- DHCP now builds on AIX.
2590

2592 config file but -6 is not specified.
2593
2594- Fixed "--version" flag in dhcrelay
2595
2596- The 'min-secs' configuration parameter's log message has been updated to
2597 be more helpful.
2598
2599- The warning logged when an address range doesn't fit in the subnets
2600 they were declared has been updated to be more helpful and identify the
2601 typo in configuration that created the spanning addresses.
2602
2603- A bug in failover pool rebalancing that caused POOLREQ message ping-pongs
2604 was repaired.
2605
2606- A flaw in failover pool rebalancing that could cause POOLREQ messages to
2607 be sent outside of the min-balance/max-balance scheduled intervals has
2608 been repaired.
2609
2610- A cosmetic bug during potential-conflict recovery that caused the peer's
2611 'conflict-done' state message to be logged as 'unknown-state' has been
2612 repaired. It is now logged correctly.
2613
49f61135
DH
2614- A bug was fixed where the 'giaddr' may be used to find the client's subnet
2615 rather than its own 'ciaddr'.
2616
41d4652f
DH
2617- A log message was introduced to clarify the situation where a failover
2618 'address' parameter (the server's local address) did not resolve to an
2619 IPv4 address.
2620
2c9bf1f4
DH
2621- The minimum site code value was set to 224 in 3.1.0 to track RFC3942. This
2622 broke a lot of legacy site local configurations. The new code in place will
2623 track site local space minimum option codes and logs a warning to encourage
2624 updates and exploration of site local code migration problems. Option
2625 codes less than 128 in site local spaces remain inaccessible.
2626
2627- A possible relay agent option bug was repaired where random server
2628 initialization state may have been used to signal the relay agent
2629 information options sub-option code for the 'END' of the option space.
2630
cff9b78f
SK
2631- Fixes to allow code to compile and run on Solaris 9.

c4d29896
SK
2633- Fixes to allow code to compile on Mac OS X Leopard (10.5).
2634
57fcb8d9
SK
2635- When server is configured with options that it overrides, a warning is
2636 issued when the configuration file is read, rather than at the time the
2637 option is overridden. This was important, because the warning was given
9a111ee8 2638 every time the option was overridden, which could create a lot of
57fcb8d9
SK
2639 unnecessary logging.
2640
219a65eb
DH
2641- Fixed a compilation problems on platforms that define a value for FDDI,
2642 which conflicts with a dhcp configuration syntax token by the same name.
2643
ffdf3c8c
DH
2644- When a failover server suspects it has encountered a peer running a
2645 version 3.0.x failover server, a warning that the failover wire protocol
2646 is incompatible is printed.
2647
2648- The failover server no longer issues a floating point error if it encounters
2649 a previously undefined option code.
2650
00a002fc
MA
2651- Fix startup error messages to report a missing "subnet6 declaration", rather
2652 than a missing "subnet declaration", when running as a DHCPv6 server.
2653
9a111ee8 2654- DHCPv6 client timestamp in DUID was based on the year 1970 rather
7e9f7a1b

2663 Changes since 4.0.0b3
2664
2665- The reverse dns name for PTR updates on IPv6 addresses has been fixed to
2666 use ip6.arpa. rather than default to in-addr.arpa and require user
2667 configuration.
76db44f9 2668
e32529a5
EH
2669- dhc6_lease_destroy() and dhc6_ia_destroy() now set lease and IA pointers
2670 to NULL after freeing, to prevent subsequent accesses to freed memory.
2671
9a111ee8 2672- The DHCPv6 server would not send the preference option unless the
76db44f9
SK
2673 client requested it, via the ORO. This has been fixed, so the DHCPv6
2674 server will always send the preference value if it is configured.
e4a6be15 2675
9a111ee8
TM
2676- When addresses were passed as hints to the server in an IA, they were
2677 incorrectly handled, sometimes being treated as an error. Now the
6f76de58
SK
2678 server will treat these as hints and ignore them if it cannot supply
2679 a requested address.
2680
703873ab
DH
2681- If the client had multiple addresses, and one expired (was not renewed
2682 by the server), the client would continue to attempt to renew the same
2683 old address over and over. Now, the client will omit any expired
2684 addresses from future Confirm, Renew, or Rebind messages.
2685
2686- dhclient -6 will now select renew/rebind timers based upon the longest
2687 address expiration time rather than the shortest expiration time, in
2688 order to avoid cascading renewals in the event a server elects not to
2689 extend one of multiple IAADDR leases.
2690
b024480e
DH
2691- The server now limits clients that request multiple addresses to one
2692 address per IA by default, which can be adjusted through the
2693 "limit-addrs-per-ia" configuration option.
2694
c0216cb7
DH
2695- The DHCPv6 client now issues fresh transaction IDs on Renew and Rebind
2696 message exchanges, rather than using the most recent ID.

2701 codes through some conditions.

2704 the success DHCPv6 status-code, was fixed.

f8b3c6f4
DH
2711- ./configure now autodetects local database locations rather than trying
2712 to put dhcpd.leases and dhclient.leases in /usr/local/var/db, which no
2713 one ever has.

b1d3778c
DH
2727- Relative time may now be used as a qualifier for 'allow' and 'deny' access
2728 control lists. These directives may be used to assist in re-addressing
2729 address pools without having to constantly reconfigure the server. Please
2730 see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more information on allow/deny 'after time' syntax.
2731 Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen.

DH
2733- The server will now include multiple IA_NA's and multiple IAADDRs within
2734 them, if advertised by the client. It still only seeks to allocate one
2735 new address.

75135a3f 2739- Use different paths for PID and lease files when running in DHCPv4
adb95d23 2740 or DHCPv6 mode, so that servers for both protocols can be run
75135a3f

2744 of service under unusual server configurations

2747
9a111ee8 2748- A number of bugs with the internal handling of lease state on the

fa9b593d 2750
edb1283e

2751- The peer_wants_leases() changes pulled up from 3.1.0 were corrected,
2752 'never used' leases will no longer consistently shift between servers
2753 on every pool rebalance run.

9a111ee8 2763- The DHCP server no longer requires a "ddns-update-style" statement,
884a458f
SK
2764 and now defaults to "none", which means DNS updates are disabled.

2766- Log messages when failover peer names mismatch have been improved to
2767 point out the problem.

9a111ee8 2769- Bug where server advertised a IPv6 address in response to a SOLICIT
1b5053b5

2777 "-Werror" (unused variable) rather than the actual test failure. Lead
2778 to inconsistent and unworkable auto-configurations.

3ad9d48f
SK
2783 fixed by Marcus Goller.

8eab95f2
DH
2785- DHCPv6 server Confirm message processing has been enhanced - it no
2786 longer replies only to clients with host {} records, it now replies
2787 as directed in RFC3315 section 18.2.2 - that is, to all clients
2788 regardless of the existence of bindings.

DH
2792- DDNS updates state information are now stored in 'binding scopes' that
2793 follow the leases through their lifecycles. This enables DDNS teardowns
2794 on leases that are assigned and expired inbetween a server restart (the
2795 state is recovered from dhcpd.leases). Arbitrary user-specified binding
2796 scopes ('set var = "value";') are not yet supported.

2910 Changes since 3.1.0 (NEW FEATURES)
2911
2912- DHCPv6 Client and Server protocol support. Use '-6' to run the daemons
2913 as v6-only. Use '-4' to run the daemons as v4-only (default. There is
2914 no support currently for both.
2915
2916- Server support for multiple IA_NA options, containing at most one
2917 IAADDR option.
2918
2919- Client support for one IA_NA option, containing any number of IAADDR
2920 options.
2921
2922- Server support for the DHCPv6 Information-request message.
2923
2924- Inappropriate unicast DHCPv6 messages sent to the server are now
2925 discarded, and this has rearchitected the IO system slightly.
2926
2927- The DHCPv6 server DUID defaults to type 1, is persistently stored in
2928 the leases database, and can be over-ridden (either completely, or by
2929 specifying type 1 or type 2).
2930
2931- The server only uses Rapid-Commit if it has been configured with the
2932 Rapid-Commit option and the client requests it.
2933
2934- DDNS support. We now update AAAA records in the same place we would
2935 update A records, if we have an IPv6 address. We also generate IP6.ARPA
2936 style names for PTR records if we're dealing with an IPv6 address. Both
2937 A and AAAA updates are done using the same 'fqdn.' virtual option space
2938 (although the DHCPv4 FQDN and DHCPv6 FQDN options are formatted
2939 differently, they both use the same code here).
2940
2941- The Linux dhclient-script attempts to set and remove assigned addresses,
2942 and to configure /etc/resolv.conf from nameserver and domain name
2943 configurations. It can be extended to configure other parameters.
2944
2945- Initial DHCPv6 lease support.
2946
2947- The IO system now tracks all local IP addresses, so that the DHCP
2948 applications (particularly the dhcrelay) can discern between what frames
2949 were transmitted to it, and what frames are being carried through it which
2950 it should not intercept.

DH
2952 Changes since 3.1.0 (Maintenance)
2953
2954- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for virgin leases always
2955 mapped to the primary. Virgin leases now have an interleaved preference
2956 between primary and secondary.
2957
2958- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for clients with no client
2959 identifier was sometimes mishashed to the peer. Load balancing during
2960 runtime and pool rebalancing were opposing.
2961
aa3e348e
DH
2962- An assertion in lease counting relating to reserved leases was repaired.
2963
e9c59645
DH
2964- The subnet-mask option inclusion now conforms with RFC2132 section 3.3;
2965 it will only appear prior to the routers option if it is present on the
2966 Parameter-Request-List. The subnet-mask option will also only be
2967 included by default (if it is not on the PRL) in response to DISCOVER
2968 or REQUEST messages.
2969
2970- The FQDN option is only supplied if the client supplied an FQDN option or
2971 if the FQDN option was explicitly requested on the PRL.

DH
2980 Changes since 3.1.0b2
2981
2982- Failover rebalance events no longer play ping pong with round errors
2983 (moving leases between free and back to backup where there are an
2984 odd number of leases).
2985
2986- The 'pool' log line has been split into two messages, one before the
2987 rebalance run, and one after.
2988
2989- Any queued BNDACKs are transmitted before transmitting new BNDUPDs.
2990 This enforces the correct sequence of events for the remote server
2991 processing these messages.

2996 objects.
2997
1ba87b37
EH
2998- A new server config option "fqdn-reply" specifies whether the server
2999 should send out option 81 (FQDN). Defaults to "on". If set to "off",
3000 the FQDN option is not sent, even if the client requested it. This is
3001 needed because some clients misbehave otherwise. Thanks to Christof Chen
3002 at Allianz.

a58da042
EH
3004- Allow trace output files (-tf option) to be overwritten, rather than
3005 crashing dhcpd if the file already exists

3007- A bug was fixed that caused dhcpd to segfault if a pool was declared
3008 outside the scope of a subnet in dhcpd.conf.

DH
3010- Some uninitialized values were repaired in dhcpleasequery.c that
3011 caused the server to abort.
3012
4d2eaafb
DH
3013- A new server config option, 'do-reverse-updates', has been added
3014 which causes the server to abstain from performing updates on PTR
3015 records. Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen at Allianz.

132d38f2
DH
3023- 'dhcp.c(3953): non-null pointer' has been repaired. This fixes a flaw
3024 wherein the DHCPv4 server may ignore a configured server-identifier.

3047 hash table was repaired.
3048
616d67cb
DH
3049- The servers now try harder to transmit pending binding updates when
3050 entering normal state.
3051
3052- UPDREQ/UPDREQALL handling was optimized - it no longer dequeues and
3053 requeues all pending updates. This should reduce the number of spurious
66c8f734
DH
3054 'xid mismatch' log messages.
3055
3056- An option definition referencing leak was fixed, which resulted in early
3057 termination of dhclient upon the renewal event.
616d67cb 3058
6708d944
DH
3059- Some default hash table sizes were tweaked, some upwards, some downwards.
3060 3.1.0a1's tables resulted in a reduction in default server memory use.
3061 The new selected values provide more of a zero sum (increasing the size
3062 of tables likely to be populated, decreasing the size of tables unlikely).
3063
45d545f0 3064- Lease structures appear in three separate hashes: by IP address, by UID,
6708d944
DH
3065 and by hardware address. One type of table was used for all three, and
3066 improvements to IP address hashing were applied to all three (so UID and
3067 hardware addresses were treated like 4-byte integers). There are now two
3068 types of tables, and the uid/hw hashes use functions more appropriate
3069 to their needs.
3070
3071- The max-lease-misbalance percentage no longer causes scheduled rebalance
3072 runs to be skipped: it still governs the schedule, but every scheduled
3073 run will attempt balance.
3074
a7ee93fe
DH
3075- A segfault bug in recursive encapsulation support has been corrected.
3076
98311e4b
DH
3077 Changes since 3.0 (New Features)
3078
3079- A workaround for certain STSN servers that send a mangled domain-name
3080 option was introduced for dhclient. The client will now accept corrupted
3081 server responses, if they contain a valid DHCP_MESSAGE_TYPE (OFFER, ACK,
3082 or NAK). The server will continue to not accept corrupt client packets.
3083
98bd7ca0 3084- Support for 'reserved' (pseudo-static) and BOOTP leases via failover
a55ccdd0 3085 was introduced.
98311e4b
DH
3086
3087- Support for adding, removing, and managing class and subclass statements
3088 via OMAPI.
3089
a55ccdd0
DH
3090- The failover implementation was updated to comply with revision 12 of
3091 the protocol draft.
3092
98311e4b
DH
3093- 'make install' now creates the initial zero-length dhcpd.leases file if
3094 one does not already exist on the system.
3095
b43c87ad 3096- RFC3942 compliance, site-local option spaces start at 224 now, not 128.
b43c87ad 3097
0b17f049
DH
3098- The Load Balance Algorithm was misimplemented. The current implementation
3099 matches RFC 3074.
3100
2727c1cf
DH
3101- lcase() and ucase() configuration expressions have been added which adjust
3102 their arguments from upper to lower and lower to upper cases respectively.
2714a8ef 3103 Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
2727c1cf 3104
febbd402
DH
3105- The dhclient 'reject ...;' statement, which rejects leases given by named
3106 server-identifiers, now permits address ranges to be specified in CIDR
7d7073e7 3107 notation. Thanks to a patch from David Boyce.
febbd402 3108
ee912528
DH
3109- The subnet-mask option is now supplied by default, but at lowest
3110 priority. This helps a small minority of clients that provide parameter
3111 request lists, but do not list the subnet-mask option because they were
3112 designed to interoperate with a server that behaves in this manner.
3113
3114- The FQDN option is similarly supplied even if it does not appear on the
3115 parameter request list, but not to the exclusion of options that do
3116 appear at the parameter request list. Up until now it had ultimate
3117 priority over the client's parameter request list.
3118
f7fdb216 3119- Varying option space code and length bit widths (8/16/32) are now
51202707 3120 supported. This is a milestone in achieving RFC 3925 "VIVSO" and
f7fdb216
DH
3121 DHCPv6 support.
3122
5e864416
DH
3123- A new common (server or client) option, 'db-time-format local;', has
3124 been added which prints the local time in /var/db/dhcpd.leases rather
3125 than UTC. Thanks to a patch from Ken Lalonde.
3126
b500bd4c
DH
3127- Some patches to improve DHCP Server startup speed from Andrew Matheson
3128 have been incorporated.
3129
2426234f
DH
3130- Failover pairs now implement 'MAC Affinity' on leases moving from the
3131 active to free states. Leases that belonged to the failover secondary
3132 are moved to BACKUP state rather than FREE upon exiting EXPIRED state.
3133 If lease rebalancing must move leases, it tries first to move leases
3134 that belong to the peer in need.
3135
3136- The server no longer sends POOLREQ messages unless the pool is severely
3137 misbalanced in the peer's favor (see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more details).
3138
3139- Pool rebalance events no longer happen upon successfully allocating a
3140 lease. Instead, they happen on a schedule. See 'man dhcpd.conf' for the
3141 min-balance and max-balance statements for more information.
3142
334bf491
DH
3143- The DHCP Relay Agent Information Option / Link Selection Sub-Option
3144 is now supported. (See RFC3527 for details).
3145
3004bebf
DH
3146- A new DDNS related server option, update-conflict-detection, has been
3147 added. If this option is enabled, dhcpd will perform normal DHCID
3148 conflict resolution (the default). If this option is disabled, it will
3149 instead trust the assigned name implicitly (removing any other bindings
3150 on that name). This option has not been made available in dhclient.
3151
567e8561
DH
3152- In those cases where the DHCP software manufactures an IP header (to
3153 transmit via bpf, lpf, etc), the IP TTL the software selects has been
3154 increased from 16 to 128. This is intended to match Microsoft Windows
3155 DHCP Client behaviour, to increase compatibility.
3156
a396d25f
DH
3157- 'ignore client-updates;' now has behaviour that is different from
3158 'deny client-updates;'. The client's request is not truly ignored,
3159 rather it is encouraged. Should this value be configured, the server
3160 updates DNS as though client-updates were set to 'deny'. That is, it
3161 enters into DNS whatever it is configured to do already, provided it is
3162 configured to. Then it sends a response to the client that lets the
3163 client believe it is performing client updates (which it will), probably
3164 for a different name. In essence, this lets the client do as it will,
3165 ignoring this aspect of their request.
3166
dba5803b
DH
3167- Support for compressed 'domain name list' style DHCP option contents, and
3168 in particular the domain search option (#119) was added.
3169
41e45067 3170- The DHCP LEASEQUERY protocol as defined in RFC4388 is now implemented.
6d103865
SK
3171 LEASEQUERY lets you query the DHCP server for information about a lease,
3172 using either an IP address, MAC address, or client identifier. Thanks
3173 to a patch from Justin Haddad.
3174
41e45067
DH
3175- DHCPD is now RFC2131 section 4.1 compliant (broadcast to all-ones ip and
3176 ethernet mac address) on the SCO platform specifically without any strange
3177 ifconfig hacks. Many thanks go to the Kroger Co. for donating the
3178 hardware and funding the development.
6d103865 3179
b543fea9
DH
3180- A new common configuration executable statement, execute(), has been
3181 added. This permits dhcpd or dhclient to execute a named external
3182 program with command line arguments specified from other configuration
3183 language. Thanks to a patch written by Mattias Ronnblom, gotten to us
3184 via Robin Breathe.
3185
b22de500
DH
3186- A new dhcp server option 'adaptive-lease-time-threshold' has been added
3187 which causes the server to substantially reduce lease-times if there are
3188 few (configured percentage) remaining leases. Thanks to a patch submitted
3189 from Christof Chen.
3190
96bbe8c5
SK
3191- Encapsulated option spaces within encapsulated option spaces is now
3192 formally supported.
3193
b8221d95
DH
3194 Changes since 3.0.6rc1
3195
3196- supersede_lease() now requeues leases in their respective hardware
3197 address hash bucket. This mirrors client identifier behaviour.
3198
c1e6c832
DH
3199 Changes since 3.0.5
3200
f546c28b
DH
3201- Assorted fixes for broken network devices: Packet length is now
3202 determined from the IP header length field to finally calculate the
3203 UDP payload length, because some NIC drivers return more data than
5a22eb63 3204 they actually received.
f546c28b
DH
3205
3206- UDP packets are now stored in aligned data structures.
3207
c1e6c832
DH
3208- A logic error in omapi interface code was repaired that might result in
3209 incorrectly indicating 'up' state when any flags were set, rather than
23e10d37
DH
3210 specifically the INTERFACE_REQUESTED flag. Thanks to a patch from
3211 Jochen Voss which got to us via Andrew Pollock at Debian.
c1e6c832 3212
75ab3070
DH
3213- A reference leak on binding scopes set by ddns updates was repaired.

3218- In the case where an "L2" DHCP Relay Agent (one that does not set giaddr)
3219 was directly attached to the same broadcast domain as the DHCP server,
3220 the RFC3046 relay agent information option was not being returned to the
3221 relay in the server's replies. This was fixed; the dhcp server no longer
3222 requires the giaddr to reply with relay agent information. Note that
3223 this also improves compatibility with L2 devices that "intercept" DHCP
3224 packets and expect relay agent information even in unicast (renewal)

3245- Some bugs were fixed in the 'emergency relay agent options hologram'
3246 which is used to retain relay agent option contents from when the
3247 client was in INIT or REBIND states. This should solve problems where
3248 relay agent options were not echoed from the server, even when giaddr
3249 was set.

3254- The server's "by client-id" and "by hardware address" hash table lists
3255 are now sorted according to the preference to re-allocate that lease to
3256 returning clients. This should eliminate pool starvation problems
3257 arising when "INIT" clients were given new leases rather than presently
3258 active ones.

0a73b7b6
SK
3263 dhclient-script with the 'EXPIRE' state should it receive a NAK in
3264 response to a REQUEST. The client now iterates the PREINIT state
3265 after the EXPIRE state, so that interfaces that might be configured
3266 'down' can be brought back 'up' and initialized.

3273- A warning that host statements declared within subnet or shared-network
3274 scopes are actually global has been added.
3275
3276- The default minimum lease time (if min-lease-time was not specified)
3277 was raised from 0 to 300. 0 is not thought to be sensible, and is
3278 known to be damaging.
3279
3280- Added additional fatal error sanity checks surrounding lease binding
3281 state count calculations (free/active counts used for failover pool
3282 balancing).

DH
3284- Some time value size fixes in 3.0.4 brought on from FreeBSD /usr/ports were
3285 misapplied to server values rather than client values. The server no longer
3286 advertises 8-byte lease-time options when on 64-bit platforms.

3288- A bug where leases not in ACTIVE state would get billed to billed classes

DH
3296- If the dhclient were to receive a DHCPNAK while it was in the RENEW
3297 state (and consequently, had an active, 'bound' address and related
3298 configuration options), it would fail to 'tear down' this information
3299 before proceeding into INIT state. dhclient now iterates the dhclient-
3300 script with the 'EXPIRE' action to cause these teardowns prior to entering
1d3bfb17 3301 INIT state. Thanks to a patch from Chris Zimmerman.

DH
3321- Host declaration hardware addresses and client identifiers may only be

3326- Several option codes that have been allocated since our last release
3327 have been named and documented.

3329- Option names of the form "unknown-123" have been removed from the in-
3330 memory hash tables. In order to support options of these names that
3331 may appear in dhclient.leases or similar in previous versions, the
3332 parser will now find the new option code definition, or mock up a
3333 generic option code definition. This should result in a smooth
3334 transition from one name to the other, as the new name is used to
3335 write new output.

45d545f0 3349- Null-termination sensing for certain clients that unfortunately require
88cd8aca
DH
3350 it in DHCPINFORM processing was repaired.
3351
3352- The host-name option and a few others were moved from "X" format to "t"
3353 format to be compatible with new NULL handling functions.
3354
3355- DHCPINFORM processing is a little more careful about return addressing
3356 its responses, or if responding via a relay. The INFORM related
3357 messages also log the 'effective client ip address' rather than the
3358 client's supplied ciaddr (since some clients produce null ciaddrs).
3359
3360- The server was inappropriately sending leases to the RESET state in the
3361 event that multiple active leases were found to match a singly-identified
3362 client. This was changed to RELEASED (by accepting a different, ACTIVE
3363 binding, the client is implicitly releasing its lease). This repairs a
3364 bug wherein secondary servers in failover pairs detecting this condition
3365 move leases to RESET, and primaries refuse to accept that state
3366 transition (properly).
3367
3368- The memset-after-dmalloc() changes made in 3.0.4b1 have been backed out.
3369
3370 Changes since 3.0.4b1

3372- Command line parsing in omshell was repaired - it no longer closes
3373 STDIN after reading one line.
3374
3375- The resolver library no longer closes the /etc/resolv.conf file
3376 descriptor it opened twice.
3377
3378- Changes to trailing NULL removal in 't' option-atoms has been rethought,
3379 it now includes 'd' (domain name) types, and tries hard not to rewind an
3380 option beyond the start of the text field it is un-terminating.
3381
3382 Changes since 3.0.3
3383
3384- A DDNS update handling function was misusing the DNS error codes, rather
3385 than the internal generic result enumeration. The result is a confusing
3386 syslog line, logging the wrong condition.
3387
3388- The DHCP Server was not checking pool balance in the case where it brought
3389 a non-ACTIVE lease out of storage for a client that was returning to use
3390 a lease it once had long ago, and had since expired.
3391
3392- Failover peers no longer bother to look for free leases to allocate when
3393 they already found the client's ACTIVE lease. DISCOVERs are load balanced
98bd7ca0 3394 whether freely-allocated or not, unless the server doubts the peer has
88cd8aca
DH
3395 leases to allocate.
3396
3397- Fixed a bug in dhcrelay agent addition code that suppressed trailing
45d545f0 3398 PAD options - it was suppressing only one trailing PAD option, rather
88cd8aca
DH
3399 than the entire block of them.

DH
3401! Fixed some unlikely overlapping-region memcpy() bugs in dhcrelay agent
3402 option addition and stripping code. Added a few sanity checks. Although
3403 highly improbable, due to requiring the reception of a DHCP datagram well
3404 in excess of all known to be used physical MTU limitations, it is possible
3405 this may have been used in a stack overflow security vulnerability. Thanks
3406 to a patch from infamous42md.
3407
3408! Added some sanity checks to OMAPI connection/authentication code.
3409 Although highly improbable, due to having to deliver in excess of 2^32
3410 bytes of data via the OMAPI channel, not to mention requiring dhcpd to
3411 be able to malloc() a memory region 2^32 bytes in size, it was possible
3412 this might have resulted in a heap overflow security vulnerability.
3413 Thanks to a patch from infamous42md.

3414
3415- dmalloc() memset()'s the non-debug (data) portion of the allocated
3416 memory to zero. Code that memset()'s the result returned by dmalloc() to
3417 zero is redundant. These redundancies were removed.
3418
3419- Some type declaration corrections to u_int16_t were made in common/tr.c
4b97eaff 3420 (Token Ring support) thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.

3421
3422- A failover bug that was allowing leases that EXPIRED or were RELEASED
3423 where tsfp and tstp are identical timestamps to languish in these
3424 transitional states has been repaired. As a side effect, lease
3425 databases should be kept more consistent overall, not just for these
3426 transitional states.
3427
3428- If the lease db is deleted out from under the daemon, and it moves to rewrite
3429 the db, it will go ahead with the operation and move the new db into place
3430 once it detects the old db does not exist.
3431
3432- dhclient now ignores IRDA, SIT, and IEEE1394 network interfaces, as it
3433 is either nonsensical or (in the case of IEEE1394) is not known to support
3434 these interfaces. Thanks to Marius Gedminas and Andrew Pollock of Debian.
3435
3436- Some previously undocumented reasons for dhclient-script invoking has
45d545f0 3437 been documented in the dhclient-script.8 manpage.

3438
3439- Failover potential expiry calculations (TSTP) have been corrected. Results
3440 should be substantially more consistent, and proper given the constraints.
3441
3442- Adjusted lease state validation checks in potential-conflict, to
3443 account for possible clock skew similarly to normal state, and several
3444 previously illegal transitions were made legal (ex: active->released).
3445
3446- An impossible sanity check was removed from omapi/buffer.c, thanks to a
3447 patch from 'infamous42md'.
3448
3449- An OMAPI host/network byte order problem in lease time values has been
3450 repaired.
3451
3452- Several minor bugs, largely relating to treating 8-byte time values as
3453 4-byte entities, have been repaired after careful review of the FreeBSD
3454 ports collection's patch set. Thanks to the nameless entities who have
3455 contributed to the FreeBSD ports.
3456
3457- When writing a trace file, the file is now created with permissions 0600,
3458 to help administrators avoid accidentally publicising sensitive config
3459 data.
3460
3461- The calculation of the maximum size of DHCP packets no longer includes
3462 Ethernet framing overhead. The result is that the 'Maximum Message
3463 Size' option advertised by clients, or the default value 576, is no
3464 longer reduced by 14 bytes, and instead directly reflects the IP level
3465 MTU (and the default, minimum allowed IP MTU of 576).
3466
3467- The special status of RELEASED/EXPIRED/RESET leases when a server
3468 is operating in partner-down was fixed. It no longer requires a
3469 lease be twice the MCLT beyond STOS to 'reallocate', and the expiry
3470 event to turn these into FREE leases without peer acknowledgement
3471 (after STOS+MCLT) has been repaired.
3472
3473- Compilation on older Solaris systems (lacking /usr/include/sys/int_types.h)
3474 has been repaired.
3475
3476- "append"ing a string onto the end of a "t" type option (such as the
3477 domain-name field) that had been improperly NULL-terminated by the
3478 DHCP server will no longer result in a truncated string containing
3479 only the option from the server, and not the expected appended value.
4b97eaff 3480 Thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.

3481
3482- File handlers on configuration state (config files and lease dbs) should
98bd7ca0 3483 be treated consistently, regardless of whether TRACING is defined or not.
88cd8aca 3484
45d545f0 3485- The Linux build environment has had some minor improvements - better
88cd8aca
DH
3486 sensing of 64-bit pointer sizes (only used for establishing an icmp_id),
3487 and corrections to #if operators regarding LINUX_MAJOR should it ever
3488 move to 3.[01].x.
3489
3490- The server now tries harder to survive the condition where it is unable
3491 to open a new lease file to rewrite the lease state database.

3493 Changes since 3.0.3b3
3494
3495- dhclient.conf documentation for interface {} was updated to reflect recent
3496 discussion on the dhcp-hackers mailing list.
3497
3498- In response to reports that the software does not compile on GCC 4.0.0,
3499 -Werror was removed from Makefile.conf for all platforms that used it.
3500 We will address the true problem in a future release; this is a temporary
3501 workaround.
3502
3503 Changes since 3.0.3b2
3504
3505- An error in code changes introduced in 3.0.3b2 was corrected, which caused
3506 static BOOTP clients to receive random addresses.
3507
3508 Changes since 3.0.3b1
3509
3510- A bug was fixed in BOOTPREQUEST handling code wherein stale references to
3511 host records would be left behind on leases that were not allocated to the
3512 client currently booting (eg in the case where the host was denied booting).
3513
3514- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated to be more clear in regards to
3515 multiple host declarations (thanks to Vincent McIntyre). 'Interim' style
3516 dynamic updates were also retouched.

3518 Changes since 3.0.2
3519
3520- A bug was fixed where a server might load balance a DHCP REQUEST to its
45d545f0 3521 peer after already choosing not to load balance the preceding DISCOVER.
98311e4b
DH
3522 The peer cannot allocate the originating server's lease.
3523
3524- In the case where a secondary server lost its stable storage while the
3525 primary was still in communications-interrupted, and came back online,
3526 the lease databases would not be fully transferred to the secondary.
3527 This was due to the secondary errantly sending an extra UPDREQ message
3528 when the primary made its state transition to PARTNER-DOWN known.
3529
3530- The package will now compile cleanly in gcc 3.3 and 3.4. As a side effect,
3531 lease structures will be 9 bytes smaller on all platforms. Thanks to
4b97eaff 3532 Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3533
3534- Interface discovery code in DISCOVER_UNCONFIGURED mode is now
3535 properly restricted to only detecting broadcast interfaces. Thanks
4b97eaff 3536 to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3537
3538- decode_udp_ip_header was changed so that the IP address was copied out
3539 to a variable, rather than referenced by a pointer. This enforces 4-byte
3540 alignment of the 32-bit IP address value. Thanks to a patch from Dr.
3541 Peter Poeml.
3542
3543- An incorrect log message was corrected thanks to a patch from
3544 Dr. Peter Poeml.
3545
3546- A bug in DDNS was repaired, where if the server's first DDNS action was
3547 a DDNS removal rather than a DDNS update, the resolver library's
3548 retransmit timer and retry timer was set to the default, implying a
3549 15 second timeout interval. Which is a little excessive in a synchronous,
3550 single-threaded system. In all cases, ISC DHCP should now hold fast to
3551 a 1-second timeout, trying only once.
3552
3553- The siaddr field was being improperly set to the server-identifier when
3554 responding to DHCP messages. RFC2131 clarified the siaddr field as
3555 meaning the 'next server in the bootstrap process', eg a tftp server.
3556 The siaddr field is now left zeroed unless next-server is configured.
3557
3558- mockup_lease() could have returned in an error condition (or in the
3559 condition where no fixed-address was found matching the shared
3560 network) with stale references to a host record. This is probably not
3561 a memory leak since host records generally never die anyway.
3562
3563- A bug was repaired where failover servers would let stale client identifiers
3564 persist on leases that were reallocated to new clients not sending an id.
3565
3566- Binding scopes ("set var = value;") are now removed from leases allocated
3567 by failover peers if the lease had expired. This should help reduce the
3568 number of stale binding scopes on leases.
3569
3570- A small memory leak was closed involving client identifiers larger than
3571 7 bytes, and failover.
3572
3573- Configuring a subnet in dhcpd.conf with a subnet mask of 32 bits might
3574 cause an internal function to overflow heap. Thanks to Jason Vas Dias
4b97eaff 3575 at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3576
3577- Some inconsistencies in treating numbers that the lexer parsed as 'NUMBER'
3578 or 'NUMBER_OR_NAME' was repaired. Hexadecimal parsing is affected, and
3579 should work better.
3580
3581- In several cases, parse warnings were being issued before the lexical
3582 token had been advanced to the token whose value was causing an error...
3583 causing parse warnings to claim the problem is on the wrong token.
3584
3585- Host declarations matching on client identifier for dynamic leases will
3586 no longer match fixed-address host declarations (this is now identical
3587 to behaviour for host records matching on hardware address).
3588
3589 Changes since 3.0.2rc3
3590
3591- A previously undocumented configuration directive, 'local-address',
3592 was documented in the dhcpd.conf manpage.
3593
3594 Changes since 3.0.2rc2
3595
45d545f0 3596- Two variables introduced in 3.0.2b1 were used without being initialized
98311e4b
DH
3597 in the case where neither the FILE nor SNAME fields were available for
3598 overloading. This was repaired.
3599
3600- A heretofore believed to be impossible corner case of the option
3601 overloading implementation turned out to be possible ("Unable to sort
3602 overloaded options after 10 tries."). The implementation was reworked
3603 to consider the case of an option so large it would require more than
3604 three chunks to fit.
3605
3606- Many other instances of variables being used without being initialized
3607 were repaired.
3608
3609- An uninitialized variable in omapi_io_destroy() led to the discovery
3610 that this function may result in orphaned pointers (and hence, a memory
3611 leak).
3612
3613 Changes since 3.0.2rc1
3614
3615- allocate_lease() was rewritten to repair a bug in which the server would
3616 try to allocate an ABANDONED lease when FREE leases were available.
3617
3618 Changes since 3.0.2b1
3619
3620- Some dhcp-eval.5 manpage formatting was repaired.
3621
3622 Changes since 3.0.1
3623
3624- A bug was fixed in the server's 'option overloading' implementation,
3625 where options loaded into the 'file' and 'sname' packet fields were
3626 not aligned precisely as rfc2131 dictates.
3627
3628- The FreeBSD client script was changed to support the case where a domain
3629 name was not provided by the server.
3630
3631- A memory leak in 'omshell' per each command line parsed was
3632 repaired, thanks to a patch from Jarkko Torppa.
3633
3634- Log functions writing to stderr were adjusted to use the STDERR_FILENO
3635 system definition rather than '2'. This is a no-op for 90% of platforms.
3636
3637- One call to trace_write_packet_iov() counted the number of io vectors
3638 incorrectly, causing inconsistent tracefiles. This was fixed.
3639
3640- Some expression parse failure memory leaks were closed.
3641
3642- A host byte order problem in tracefiles was repaired.
3643
3644- Pools configured in DHCPD for failover possessing permission lists that
adb95d23 3645 previously were assumed to not include dynamic bootp clients are now
98311e4b
DH
3646 a little more pessimistic. The result is, dhcpd will nag you about just
3647 about most pools that possess a 'allow' statement with no 'deny' that
3648 would definitely match a dynamic bootp client.
3649
3650- The 'ddns-update-style' configuration warning bit now insists that
3651 the configuration be globally scoped.
3652
3653- Two memory leaks in dhclient were closed thanks to a patch from Felix
3654 Farkas.
3655
3656- Some minor but excellently pedantic documentation errors were fixed
3657 thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
3658
3659- Bugs in operator precedence in executable statements have been repaired
3660 once again. More legal syntaxes should be parsed legally.
3661
3662- Failing to initialize a tracefile for any reason if a tracefile was
3663 specified is now a fatal error. Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
3664
3665- Corrected a bug in which the number of leases transferred as calculated
3666 by the failover primary and sent to peers in POOLRESP responses may be
3667 incorrect. This value is not believed to be used by other failover
3668 implementations, excepting perhaps as logged information.
3669
3670- Corrected a bug in which 'dhcp_failover_send_poolresp()' was in fact
3671 sending POOLREQ messages instead of POOLRESP mesasges. This message
3672 was essentially ignored since failover secondaries effectively do not
3673 respond to POOLREQ messages.
3674
3675- Type definitions for various bitwidths of integers in the sunos5-5
3676 build of ISC DHCP have been fixed. It should compile and run more
3677 easily when built in 64-bit for this platform.
3678
3679- "allow known-clients;" is now a legal syntax, to avoid confusion.
3680
3681- If one dhcp server chooses to 'load balance' a request to its failover
3682 peer, it first checks to see if it believes said peer has a free
3683 lease to allocate before ignoring the DISCOVER.
3684
3685- log() was logging a work buffer, rather than the value returned by
3686 executing the statements configured by the user. In some cases,
3687 the work buffer and the intended results were the same. In some other
3688 cases, they were not. This was fixed thanks to a patch from Gunnar
3689 Fjone and directconnect.no.
3690
3691- Compiler warnings for some string type conversions was fixed, thanks
3692 to Andreas Gustafsson.
3693
3694- The netbsd build environments were simplified to one, in which
3695 -Wconversion is not used, thanks to Andreas Gustafsson.
3696
3697- How randomness in the backoff-cutoff dhclient configuration variable
3698 is implemented was better documented in the manpage, and the behaviour
3699 of dhclient in REQUEST timeout handling was changed to match that of
3700 DISCOVER timeout handling.
3701
3702- Omapi was hardened against clients that pass in null values, thanks
3703 to a patch from Mark Jason Dominus.
3704
3705- A bug was fixed in dhclient that kept it from doing client-side
3706 ddns updates. Thanks to a patch from Andreas Gustafsson, which
3707 underwent some modification after review by Jason Vas Dias.
3708
3709- Failover implementations disconnected due to the network between
3710 them (rather than one of the two shutting down) will now try to
3711 re-establish the failover connection every 5 seconds, rather than
3712 to simply try once and give up until one of them is restarted.
3713 Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from Infoblox, and field testing
3714 by Greger V. Teigre which led to an enhancement to it.
3715
3716- A problem that kept DHCP Failover secondaries from tearing down
3717 ddns records was repaired. Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from
3718 Infoblox.
3719
3720- 64bit pointer sizes are detected properly on FreeBSD now.
3721
3722- A bug was repaired where the DHCP server would leave stale references
3723 to host records on leases it once thought about offering to certain
3724 clients. The result would be to apply host and 'known' scopes to the
3725 wrong clients (possibly denying booting). NOTE: The 'mis-host' patch
3726 that was being circulated as a workaround is not the way this bug was
3727 fixed. If you were a victim of this bug in 3.0.1, you are cautioned
3728 to proceed carefully and see if it fixes your problem.
3729
3730- A bug was repaired in the server's DHCPINFORM handling, where it
3731 tried to divine the client's address from the source packet and
3732 would get it wrong. Thanks to Anshuman Singh Rawat.
3733
3734- A log message was introduced to help illuminate the case where the
3735 server was unable to find a lease to assign to any BOOTP client.
3736 Thanks to Daniel Baker.
3737
3738- A minor dhcpd.conf.5 manpage error was fixed.
3739
3740 Changes since 3.0.1rc14
3741
3742- The global variable 'cur_time' was centralized and is now uniformly of a
3743 type #defined in system-dependent headers. It had previously been defined
3744 in one of many places as a 32-bit value, and this causes mayhem on 64-bit
3745 big endian systems. It probably wasn't too healthy on little endian
3746 systems either.
3747
3748- A printf format string error introduced in rc14 was repaired.
3749
3750- AIX system-dependent header file was altered to only define NO_SNPRINTF
3751 if the condition used to #ifdef in vsnprintf in AIX' header files
3752 is false.
3753
3754- The Alpha/OSF system-dependent header file was altered to define
3755 NO_SNPRINTF on OS revisions older than 4.0G.
3756
3757- omapip/test.c had string.h added to its includes.
3758
3759 Changes since 3.0.1rc13
3760
3761! CAN-2004-0460 - CERT VU#317350: Five stack overflow exploits were closed
3762 in logging messages with excessively long hostnames provided by the
3763 clients. It is highly probable that these could have been used by
3764 attackers to gain arbitrary root access on systems using ISC DHCP 3.0.1
3765 release candidates 12 or 13. Special thanks to Gregory Duchemin for
3766 both finding and solving the problem.
3767
3768! CAN-2004-0461 - CERT VU#654390: Once the above was closed, an opening
45d545f0 3769 in log_*() functions was evidenced, on some specific platforms where
98311e4b
DH
3770 vsnprintf() was not believed to be available and calls were wrapped to
3771 sprintf() instead. Again, credit goes to Gregory Duchemin for finding
3772 the problem. Calls to snprintf() are now linked to a distribution-local
3773 snprintf implementation, only in those cases where the architecture is
3774 not known to provide one (see includes/cf/[arch].h). If you experience
3775 linking problems with snprintf/vsnprintf or 'isc_print_' functions, this
3776 is where to look. This vulnerability did not exist in any previously
3777 published version of ISC DHCP.
3778
3779- Compilation on hpux 11.11 was repaired.
3780
3781- 'The cross-compile bug fix' was backed out.
3782
3783 Changes since 3.0.1rc12
3784
3785- Fixed a bug in omapi lease lookup function, to form the hardware
3786 address for the hash lookup correctly, thanks to a patch from
3787 Richard Hirst.
3788
3789- Fixed a bug where dhcrelay was sending relayed responses back to the
3790 broadcast address, but with the source's unicast mac address. Should
3791 now conform to rfc2131 section 4.1.
3792
3793- Cross-compile bug fix; use $(AR) instead of ar. Thanks to Morten Brorup.
3794
3795- Fixed a crash bug in dhclient where dhcpd servers that do not provide
3796 renewal times results in an FPE. As a side effect, dhclient can now
3797 properly handle 0xFFFFFFFF (-1) expiry times supplied by servers. Thanks
3798 to a patch from Burt Silverman.
3799
3800- The 'ping timeout' debugs from rc12 were removed to -DDEBUG only,
45d545f0 3801 and reformatted to correct a compilation error on Solaris platforms.
98311e4b
DH
3802
3803- A patch was applied which fixes a case where leases read from the
3804 leases database do not properly over-ride previously read leases.
3805
3806- dhcpctl.3 manpage was tweaked.
3807
3808 Changes since 3.0.1rc11
3809
3810- A patch from Steve Campbell was applied with minor modifications to
3811 permit reverse dns PTR record updates with values containing spaces.
3812
3813- A patch from Florian Lohoff was applied with some modifications to
3814 dhcrelay. It now discards packets whose hop count exceeds 10 by default,
3815 and a command-line option (-c) can be used to set this threshold.
3816
3817- A failover bug relating to identifying peers by name length instead of
3818 by name was fixed.
3819
45d545f0 3820- Declaring failover configs within shared-network statements should no
98311e4b
DH
3821 longer result in error.
3822
3823- The -nw command line option to dhclient now works.
3824
3825- Thanks to a patch from Michael Richardson:
3826 - Some problems with long option processing have been fixed.
3827 - Some fixes to minires so that updates of KEY records will work.
3828
3829- contrib/ms2isc was updated by Shu-Min Chang of the Intel Corporation.
3830 see contrib/ms2isc/readme.txt for revision notes.
3831
3832- Dhclient no longer uses shell commands to kill another instance of
3833 itself, it sends the signal directly. Thanks to a patch from Martin
3834 Blapp.
3835
3836- The FreeBSD dhclient-script was changed so that a failure to write to
3837 /etc/resolv.conf does not prematurely end the script. This keeps dhclient
3838 from looping infinitely when this is the case. Thanks to a patch from
3839 Martin Blapp.
3840
3841- A patch from Bill Stephens was applied which resolves a problem with lease
3842 expiry times in failover configurations.
3843
3844- A memory leak in configuration parsing was closed thanks to a patch from
3845 Steve G.
3846
3847- The function which discovers interfaces will now skip non-broadcast or
3848 point-to-point interfaces, thanks to a patch from David Brownlee.
3849
3850- Options not yet known by the dhcpd or dhclient have had their names
3851 changed such that they do not contain # symbols, in case they should ever
3852 appear in a lease file. An option that might have been named "#144" is
3853 now "unknown-144".
3854
3855- Another patch from Bill Stephens which allows the ping-check timeout to
3856 be configured as 'ping-timeout'. Defaults to 1.
3857
3858 Changes since 3.0.1rc10
3859
3860- Potential buffer overflows in minires repaired.
3861
3862- A change to the linux client script to use /bin/bash, since /bin/sh may
3863 not be bash.
3864
3865- Some missing va_end cleanups thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
3866
3867- A correction of boolean parsing syntax validation - some illegal syntaxes
3868 that worked before are now detected and produce errs, some legal syntaxes
3869 that errored before will now work properly.
3870
3871- Some search-and-replace errors that caused some options to change their
3872 names was repaired.
3873
3874- Shu-min Chang of the Intel corporation has contributed a perl script and
3875 module that converts the MS NT4 DHCP configuration to a ISC DHCP3
3876 configuration file.
3877
3878- Applied the remainder of the dhcpctl memory leak patch provided by Bill
3879 Squier at ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
3880
3881- Missing non-optional failover peer configurations will now result in a soft
3882 error rather than a null dereference.
3883
3884 Changes since 3.0.1rc9
3885
3886- A format string was corrected to fix compiler warnings.
3887
3888- A number of spelling corrections were made in the man pages.
3889
3890- The dhclient.conf.5 man page was changed to refer to do-forward-updates
3891 rather than a configuration option that doesn't exist.
3892
3893- A FreeBSD-specific bug in the interface removal handling was fixed.
3894
3895- A Linux-specific Token Ring detection problem was fixed.
3896
3897- Hashes removed from as-yet-unknown agent options, having those options
3898 appear in reality before we know about them will no longer produce
3899 self-corrupting lease databases.
3900
3901- dhclient will use the proper port numbers now when using the -g option.
3902
3903- A order-of-operations bug with 2 match clauses in 1 class statement is
3904 fixed thanks to a patch from Andrew Matheson.
3905
3906- Compilation problems on Solaris were fixed.
3907
3908- Compilation problems when built with DEBUG or DEBUG_PACKET were repaired.
3909
3910- A fix to the dhcp ack process which makes certain group options will be
3911 included in the first DHCPOFFER message was made thanks to a patch from
3912 Ling Gou.
3913
3914- A few memory leaks were repaired thanks to patches from Bill Squier at
3915 ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
3916
3917- A fix for shared-networks that sometimes give clients options for the
3918 wrong subnets (in particular, 'option routers') was applied, thanks to
3919 Ted Lemon for the patch.
3920
3921- Omshell's handling of dotted octets as values was changed such that dots
3922 one after the other produce zero values in the integer string.
3923
3924 Changes since 3.0.1rc8
3925
3926- Fix a format string vulnerability in the server that could lead to a
3927 remote root compromise (discovered by NGSEC Research Team, www.ngsec.com).
3928
3929- Add additional support for NetBSD/sparc64.
3930
3931- Fix a bug in the command-line parsing of the client. Also, resolve
3932 a memory leak.
3933
3934- Add better support for shells other than bash in the Linux client
3935 script.
3936
3937- Various build fixes for modern versions of FreeBSD and Linux.
3938
3939- Fix a bad bounds check when printing binding state names.
3940
3941- Clarify documentation about fixed-address and multiple addresses.
3942
3943- Fix a typo in the authoritative error message.
3944
3945- Make a log entry when we can't write a billing class.
3946
3947- Use conversion targets that are the right size on all architectures.
3948
3949- Increment the hop count when relaying.
3950
3951- Log a message when lease state is changed through OMAPI.
3952
3953- Don't rerun the shared_network when evaluating the pool.
3954
3955- Fix a reversed test in the parser.
3956
3957- Change the type of rbuf_max.
3958
3959- Make FTS_LAST a manifest constant to quiet warnings.
3960
3961 Changes since 3.0.1rc7
3962
3963- Fix two compiler warnings that are generated when compiling on Solaris
3964 with gcc. These stop the build, even though they weren't actually
3965 errors, because we prefer that our builds generate no warnings.
3966
3967 Changes since 3.0.1rc6
3968
3969- Don't allow a lease that's in the EXPIRED, RELEASED or RESET state
3970 to be renewed.
3971
3972- Implement lease stealing for cases where the primary has fewer leases
3973 than the secondary, as called for by the standard.
3974
3975- Add a fudge factor to the lease expiry acceptance code, (suggested
3976 by Kevin Miller of CMU).
3977
3978- Fix a bug in permit_list_match that made it much too willing to say
3979 that two permit lists matched.
3980
3981- Unless DEBUG_DNS_UPDATES is defined, print more user-friendly (and
3982 also more compact) messages about DNS updates.
3983
3984- Fix a bug in generating wire-format domain names for the FQDN option.
3985
3986- Fix a bug where the FQDN option would not be returned if the client
3987 requested it, contrary to the standard.
3988
3989- On Darwin, use the FreeBSD DHCP client script.
3990
3991- On NetBSD/sparc, don't check for casting warnings.
3992
3993- Add a flag in the DHCP client to disable updating the client's A
3994 record when sending an FQDN option indicating that the client is
3995 going to update its A record.
3996
3997- In the client, don't attempt a DNS update until one second after
3998 configuring the new IP address, and if the update times out, keep
3999 trying until a response, positive or negative, is received from the
4000 DNS server.
4001
4002- Fix an uninitialized memory bug in the DHCP client.
4003
4004- Apply some FreeBSD-specific bug fixes suggested by Murray Stokely.
4005
4006- Fix a bug in ns_parserr(), where it was returning the wrong sort
4007 of result code in some cases (suggested by Ben Harris of the
4008 NetBSD project).
4009
4010- Fix a bug in is_identifier(), where it was checking against EOF
4011 instead of the END_OF_FILE token (also suggested by Ben Harris).
4012
4013- Fix a bug where if an option universe contained no options, the
4014 DHCP server could dump core (Walter Steiner).
4015
4016- Fix a bug in the handling of encapsulated options.
4017
4018- Fix a bug that prevented NWIP suboptions from being processed.
4019
4020- Delete the FTS_BOOTP and FTS_RESERVED states and implement them
4021 as modifier flags to the FTS_ACTIVE state, as called for in the
4022 failover protocol standard.
4023
4024- Fix bugs in the pool merging code that resulted in references and
4025 dereferences of null pointers. This bug had no impact unless the
4026 POINTER_DEBUG flag was defined.
4027
4028- In the server, added a do-forward-updates flag that can be used to
4029 disable forward updates in all cases, so that sites that want the
4030 clients to take sole responsibility for updating their A record can
4031 do so.
4032
4033- Make it possible to disable optimization of PTR record updates.
4034
4035 Changes since 3.0.1rc5
4036
4037- Include some new documentation and changes provided by Karl Auer.
4038
4039- Add a workaround for some Lexmark printers that send a double-NUL-
4040 terminated host-name option, which would break DNS updates.
4041
4042- Fix an off-by-one error in the MAC-address checking code for
4043 DHCPRELEASE that was added in 3.0.1rc5.
4044
4045- Fix a bug where client-specific information was not being discarded
4046 from the lease when it expired or was released, resulting in
4047 problems if the lease was reallocated to a different client.
4048
4049- If more than one allocation pool is specified that has the same set
4050 of constraints as another allocation pool on the same shared
4051 network, merge the two pools.
4052
4053- Don't print an error in fallback_discard, since this just causes
4054 confusion and does not appear to be helping to encourage anyone to
4055 fix this bug.
4056
4057 Changes since 3.0.1rc4
4058
4059- Fix a bug that would cause the DHCP server to spin if asked to parse
4060 a certain kind of incorrect statement.
4061
4062- Fix a related bug that would prevent an error from being reported in
4063 the same case.
4064
4065- Additional documentation.
4066
4067- Make sure that the hardware address matches the lease when
4068 processing a DHCPRELEASE message.
4069
4070 Changes since 3.0.1rc3
4071
4072- A minor bug fix in the arguments to a logging function call.
4073- Documentation update for dhcpd.conf.
4074
adbef119 4075 Changes since 3.0.1rc2
98311e4b
DH
4076
4077- Allow the primary to send a POOLREQ message. This isn't what the current
4078 failover draft says to do, so we may have to back it out if I can't get the
4079 authors to relent, but the scheme for balancing that's specified in the
4080 current draft seems needlessly hairy, so I'm floating a trial balloon.
4081 The rc1 code did not implement the method described in the draft either.
4082
adbef119 4083 Changes since 3.0.1rc1
98311e4b
DH
4084
4085- Treat NXDOMAIN and NXRRSET as success when we are trying to delete a
4086 domain or RRSET. This allows the DHCP server to forget about a name
4087 it added to the DNS once it's been removed, even if the DHCP server
4088 wasn't the one that removed it.
4089
4090- Install defaults for failover maximum outstanding updates and maximum
4091 silent time. This prevents problems that might occur if these values
4092 were not configured.
4093
4094- Don't do DDNS deletes if ddns-update-style is none.
4095
4096- Return relay agent information options in DHCPNAK. This prevents DHCPNAK
4097 messages from being dropped when the relay agent information option contains
4098 routing information.
4099
4100- Fix a problem where coming up in recover wouldn't result in an update
4101 request being sent.
4102
4103- Add some more chatty messages when we start a recovery update and when it's
4104 done.
4105
4106- Fix a possible problem where some state might have been left around
4107 after the peer lost contact and regained contact about how many updates
4108 were pending.
4109
4110- Don't nix a lease update because of a lease conflict. This test has
4111 never (as far as I know) prevented a mistake, and it appears to cause
4112 problems with failover.
4113
4114- Add support in rc history code for keeping a selective history, rather
4115 than a history of all references and dereferences. This code is only used
4116 when extensive additional debugging is enabled.
4117
adbef119 4118 Changes since 3.0
98311e4b
DH
4119
4120- Make allocators for hash tables. As a side effect, this fixes a memory
4121 smash in the subclass allocation code.
4122
4123- Fix a small bug in omshell where if you try to close an object when
4124 no object is open, it dumps core.
4125
4126- Fix an obscure coredump that could occur on shutdown.
4127
4128- Fix a bug in the recording of host declaration rubouts in the lease file.
4129
4130- Fix two potential spins in the host deletion code.
4131
4132- Fix a core dump that would happen if an application tried to update
4133 a host object attribute with a null value.
4134
4135 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 12
4136
4137- Fix a memory leak in the evaluation code.
4138
4139- Fix an obscure core dump.
4140
4141- Print a couple of new warnings when parsing the configuration file
4142 when crucial information is left out.
4143
4144- Log "no free leases" as an error.
4145
4146- Documentation updates.
4147
4148 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 11
4149
4150- Always return a subnet selection option if one is sent.
4151
4152- Fix a warning that was being printed because an automatic data
4153 structure wasn't zeroed.
4154
4155- Fix some failover state transitions that were being handled
4156 incorrectly.
4157
4158- When supersede_lease is called on a lease whose end time has already
4159 expired, but for which a state transition has not yet been done, do
4160 a state transition. This fixes the case where if the secondary
4161 allocated a lease to a client and the lease "expired" while the
4162 secondary was in partner-down, no expiry event would actually
4163 happen, so the lease would remain active until the primary was
4164 restarted.
4165
4166 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 10
4167
4168- Fix a bug that was preventing released leases from changing state
4169 in failover-enabled pools.
4170
4171- Fix a core dump in the client identifier finder code (for host
4172 declarations).
4173
4174- Finish fixing a bug where bogus data would sometimes get logged to
4175 the dhclient.leases file because it was opened as descriptor 2.
4176
4177- Fix the Linux dhclient-script according to suggestions made by
4178 several people on the dhcp-client mailing list.
4179
4180- Log successful DNS updates at LOG_INFO, not LOG_ERROR.
4181
4182- Print an error message and refuse to run if a failover peer is
4183 defined but not referenced by any pools.

4201- Fix a parsing bug that broke dns updates (both interim and ad-hoc).
4202 This was introduced in rc8pl1 as an unintended result of the memory
4203 leakage fixes that were in pl1.
4204
4205- Fix a long-standing bug where the server would record that an update
4206 had been done for a client with no name, even though no update had
4207 been done, and then when the client's lease expired the deletion of
4208 that nonexistant record would time out because the name was the null
9a111ee8 4209 string.

4216 one-lease-per-client was enabled.
4217
4218- Fix a bug that was causing core dumps on BSD/os in the presence of
4219 malformed packets.
4220
4221- In partner-down state, don't restrict lease lengths to MCLT.
4222
4223- On the failover secondary, record the MCLT received from the primary
4224 so that if we come up without a connection to the primary we don't
4225 wind up giving out zero-length leases.
4226
4227- Fix some compilation problems on BSD/os.

4230
4231- Fix a couple of bugs in the option printer.
4232

4234 make the message clearer when a key algorithm isn't supported.
4235
4236- Fix a bug in the tracing code that prevented trace runs that used
4237 tcp connections from being played back.
4238

4240 on exit.
4241
4242- Make the client release the lease correctly on shutdown.

4249 DHCP client that could cause core dumps, but that for some reason
4250 hadn't been noticed until now.

4252 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 7
4253
4254- Fix a bug in failover where we weren't sending updates after a
4255 transition from communications-interrupted to normal.
4256
4257- Handle expired/released/reset -> free transition according to the
4258 protocol specification (this works - the other way not only wasn't
4259 conformant, but also didn't work).
4260
4261- Add a control object in both client and server that allows either
4262 daemon to be shut down cleanly.
4263
4264- When writing a lease, if we run out of disk space, shut down the
4265 output file and insist on writing a new one before proceeding.
4266
4267- In the server, if the OMAPI listener port is occupied, keep trying
4268 to get it, rather than simply giving up and exiting.
4269
4270- Support fetching variables from leases and also updating and adding
4271 variables to leases via OMAPI.
4272
4273- If two failover peers have wildly different clocks, refuse to start
4274 doing failover.
4275
4276- Fix a bug in the DNS update code that could cause core dumps when
4277 running on alpha processors.

4283
4284- Install omshell (including new documentation).
4285
4286- Support DNS updates in the client (this is a very obscure feature
4287 that most DHCP client users probably will not be able to use).
4288
4289- Somewhat cleaner status logging in the client.
4290
4291- Make OMAPI key naming syntax compatible with the way keys are
4292 actually named (key names are domain names).
4293
4294- Fix a bug in the lease file writer.
4295
4296- Install DHCP ISC headers in a different place than BIND 9 ISC
4297 headers, to avoid causing trouble in BIND 9 builds.
4298
4299- Don't send updates for attributes on an object when the attributes
4300 haven't changed. Support deleting attributes on remote objects.
4301
4302- Fix a number of bugs in omshell, and add the unset and refresh
4303 statements.
4304
4305- Handle disconnects in OMAPI a little bit more intelligently (so that
4306 the caller gets ECONNRESET instead of EINVAL).

4309 leases when the try to renew their leases while failover is

4352
4353- In failover, correctly handle expiration of leases. Previously,
4354 leases would never be reclaimed because they couldn't make the
4355 transition from EXPIRED to FREE.

4365 processing if the lease belongs to the other server.

4408- Change the conditions under which a DHCPRELEASE is actually
4409 committed to be consistent with lease binding states rather than
98311e4b 4410 using the lease end time. This may fix some problems with the
892fe689
TL
4411 billing class code.
4412
4413- Fix a bug where lease updates would fail on Digital Unix (and maybe
4414 others) because malloc was called with a size of zero.
4415
4416- Fix a core dump that happens when the DHCP server can't create its
4417 trace file.

87784777 4420
79ea3de8
TL
4421- Fix the dhcp_failover_put_message to not attempt to allocate a
4422 zero-length buffer. Some versions of malloc() fail if you try to
4423 allocate a zero-length buffer, and this was causing problems on,
4424 e.g., Digital Unix.
4425
4426- Fix a case where the failover code was printing an error message
4427 when no error had occurred.
4428
4429- Fix a problem where when a server went down and back up again, the
4430 peer would not see a state transition and so would stay in the
4431 non-communicating state.
4432
4433- Be smart about going into recover_wait.
4434
4435- Fix a problem in the failover implementation where peers would fail
4436 to come into sync if interrupted in the RECOVER state. This could
4437 have been the cause of some problems people have reported recently.
4438
4439- Fix a problem with billing classes where they would not be unbilled
4440 when the client lease expired.
4441
4442- If select fails, figure out which descriptor is bad, and cut it out
4443 of the I/O loop. This prevents a potentially nasty spin. I
4444 haven't heard any report it in a while, but it came up consistently
4445 in testing.
4446
4447- Fix a bug in the relay agent where if you specified interfaces on
4448 the command line, it would fail.
4449
4450- Fix a couple of small bugs in the omapi connection object (no known
4451 user impact).
4452
4453- Add the missing 3.0 Beta 1 lease conversion script.
4454
4455- Read dhcp client script hooks if they exist, rather than only if
4456 they're executable.

4471 a new release candidate is expected shortly.

4498 checked. This may have been causing core dumps.
4499

4501 billing class statement, and the lease already has a billing class,
4502 unbill the old class.
4503
4504- When processing failover transactions, where acks will be deferred,
4505 process the state transition immediately.
4506
4507- Don't try to use the new SIOCGIFCONF buffer size detection code on
4508 Linux 2.0, which doesn't provide this functionality.
4509
4510- Apply a patch suggested by Tuan Uong for a problem in dlpi.c.
4511
4512- Fix a problem in using the which command in the configure script.
4513
4514- Fix a parse error in the client when setting up an omapi listener.
4515
4516- Document the -n and -g flags to the client.
4517
4518- Make sure there is always a stdin and stdout on startup. This
4519 prevents shell scripts from accidentally writing error messages into
4520 configuration files that happen to be opened as stderr.
4521
4522- If an interface is removed, the client will now notice that it is
4523 gone rather than spinning. This has only been tested on NetBSD.
4524
4525- The client will attempt to get an address even if it can't create a
4526 lease file.
4527
4528- Don't overwrite tracefiles.

4573- Implement omshell, which can be used to do arbitrary things to the
4574 server (in theory). (Damien Neil)
4575
4576- Fix a case where if a client had two different leases the server could
4577 actually dereference the second one when it hadn't been referenced,
4578 leading to memory corruption and a core dump. (James Brister)
4579
4580- Fix a case where a client could request the address of another client's
4581 lease, but find_lease wouldn't detect that the other client had it, and
4582 would attempt to allocate it to the client, resulting in a lease conflict
4583 message.
4584
4585- Fix a case where a client with more than one client identifier could be
4586 given a lease where the hardware address was correct but the client
4587 identifier was not, resulting in a lease conflict message.
4588
98311e4b 4589- Fix a problem where the server could write out a colon-separated
3350f5b7
TL
4590 hex list as a value for a variable, which would then not parse.
4591 The fix is to always write strings as quoted strings, with any
4592 non-printable characters quoted as octal escape sequences. So
4593 a file written the old way still won't work, but new files written
4594 this way will work.

4596- Fix documentation for sending non-standard options.

4599 break any configuration files that use the option-nnn convention.
4600 If you want to continue to use this convention for some options,
4601 please be sure to write a definition, like this:
4602
4603 option option-nnn code nnn = string;
4604
4605 You can use a descriptive name instead of option-nnn if you like.
4606
4607- Fix a problem where we would see a DHCPDISCOVER/DHCPOFFER/
4608 DHCPREQUEST/DHCPACK/DHCPREQUEST/DHCPNAK sequence. This was the
4609 result of a deceptively silly bug in supersede_lease.
4610

4624- Add support for transaction tracing. This allows the state of the
4625 DHCP server on startup, and all the subsequent transactions, to be
4626 recorded in a file which can then be played back to reproduce the
4627 behaviour of the DHCP server. This can be used to quickly
4628 reproduce bugs that cause core dumps or corruption, and also for
4629 tracking down memory leaks.
4630
4631- Incorporate some bug fixes provided by Joost Mulders for the DLPI
4632 package which should clear up problems people have been seeing on
4633 Solaris.
4634
4635- Fix bugs in the handling of options stored as linked lists (agent
4636 options, fqdn options and nwip options) that could cause memory
4637 corruption and core dumps.

4640 not being send in some cases when they were needed.

4686 was causing core dumps and failing to operate correctly - in
4687 particular, agent option stashing wasn't working. Agent option
4688 stashing should now be working, meaning that agent options can be
4689 used in class statements to control address allocation.

4713- Work around the Win98 DHCP client, which NUL-terminates the FQDN
4714 option.
4715
4716- Work around Win98 and Win2k clients that will claim they want to do
4717 the update even when they don't have any way to do it.
4718
4719- Fix some log messages that can be printed when failover is operating
4720 that were not printing enough information.
4721
4722- It was possible for a DHCPDISCOVER to get an allocation even when
4723 the state machine said the server shouldn't be responding.
4724
4725- Don't load balance DHCPREQUESTs from clients in RENEWING and
4726 REBINDING, since in RENEWING, if we heard it, it's for us, and in
4727 REBINDING, the client wouldn't have got to REBINDING if its primary
4728 were answering.
4729
4730- When we get a bogus state lease binding state transition, don't do
4731 the transition.

4739
4740- Albert Herranz tracked down and fixed a subtle bug in the base64
4741 decoder that would prevent any key with an 'x' in its base64
4742 representation from working correctly.
4743
4744- Thanks to Chris Cheney and Michael Sanders, we have a fix for the
4745 hang that they both spotted in the DHCP server - when
4746 one-lease-per-client was set, the code to release the "other" lease
4747 could spin.
4748
4749- Fix a problem with alignment of the input buffer in bpf in cases
4750 where two packets arrive in the same bpf read.
4751
4752- Fix a problem where the relay agent would crash if you specified an
4753 interface name on the command line.
4754
4755- Add the ability to conditionalize client behaviour based on the
4756 client state.
4757
4758- Add support for the FQDN option, and added support for a new way of
4759 doing ddns updates (ddns update style interim) that allows more than
4760 one DHCP server to update the DNS for the same network(s). This
4761 was implemented by Damien Neil with some additional functionality
4762 added by Ted Lemon.
4763
4764- Damien added a "log" statement, so that the configuration file can
4765 be made to log debugging information and other information.
4766
4767- Fixed a bug that caused option buffers not to be terminated with an
4768 end option.
4769
4770- Fixed a long-standing bug in the support for option spaces where the
4771 options are stored as an ordered list rather than in a hash table,
4772 which could theoretically result in memory pool corruption.
4773
4774- Prevent hardware declarations with no actual hardware address from
4775 being written as something unparsable, and behave correctly in the
4776 face of a null hardware address on input.
4777
4778- Allow key names to be FQDNs, and qualify the algorithm name if it is
4779 specified unqualified.
4780
4781- Modify the DDNS update code so that it never prints the "resolver
4782 failed" message, but instead says *why* the resolver failed.
4783
4784- Officially support the subnet selection option, which now has an
4785 RFC.
4786
4787- Fix a build bug on MacOS X.
4788
4789- Allow administrator to disable ping checking.
4790
4791- Clean up dhcpd.conf documentation and add more information about how
4792 it works.

4801- Fix DHCP client handling of vendor encapsulated options.
4802
4803- Fix a bug in the handling of relay agent information options introduced
4804 in patchlevel 9.
4805
4806- Stash agent options on client leases by default, and use the stashed
4807 options at renewal time.
4808
4809- Add the ability to test the client's binding state in the client
4810 configuration language.
4811
4812- Fix a core dump in the DNS update code.
4813
4814- Fix some expression evaluation bugs that were causing updates to be
4815 done when no client hostname was received.
4816
4817- Fix expression evaluation debugging printfs.
4818
4819- Teach pretty_print_option to print options in option spaces other than
4820 the DHCP option space.
4821
4822- Add a warning message if the RHS of a not is not boolean.
4823
4824- Never select for more than a day, because some implementations of
4825 select will just fail if the timeout is too long (!).
4826
4827- Fix a case where a DHCPDISCOVER from an unknown network would be
4828 silently dropped.
4829
4830- Fix a bug where if a client requested an IP address for which a different
4831 client had the lease, the DHCP server would reallocate it anyway.
4832
4833- Fix the DNS update code so that if the client changes its name, the DNS
4834 will be correctly updated.

TL
4847- Fix a possible DoS attack where a client could cause the checksummer
4848 to dump core. This was a read, not a write, so it shouldn't be
4849 possible to exploit it any further than that.
4850
4851- Implement client- and server-side support for using the Client FQDN
4852 option.
4853
4854- Support for other option spaces in the client has been added. This
4855 means that it is now possible to define a vendor option space on the
4856 client, request options in that space from the server (which must
4857 define the same option space), and then use those options in the
4858 client. This also allows NWIP and Client FQDN options to be used
4859 meaningfully.
4860
4861- Add object initializer support. This means that objects can now be
4862 initialized to something other than all-zeros when allocated, which
4863 makes, e.g., the interface object support code a little more robust.
4864
4865- Fix an off-by-one bug in the host stuffer. This was causing host
4866 deletes not the work, and may also have been causing OMAPI
4867 connections to get dropped. Thanks to James Brister for tracking
4868 this one down!
4869
4870- Fixed a core dump in the interface discovery code that is triggered
4871 when there is no subnet declaration for an interface, but the server
4872 decides to continue running. Thanks to Shane Kerr for tracking
4873 down and fixing this problem.

4881 environment.

4888 connection code.
4889
4890- Fix a potential memory smash in dhcpctl code.
4891
4892- Fix SunOS4 and (maybe) Ultrix builds.
4893
4894- Fix a bug where a certain sort of incoming packet could cause a core
4895 dump on Solaris (and probably elsewhere).
4896
4897- Add some more safety checks in error logging code.
4898
4899- Add support for ISC_R_INCOMPLETE in OMAPI protocol connection code.
4900
4901- Fix relay agent so that if an interface is specified on the command
4902 line, the relay agent does not dump core.
4903
4904- Fix class matching so that match if can be combined with match or
4905 spawn with.
4906
4907- Do not allow spurious leases in the lease database to introduce
4908 potentially bogus leases into the in-memory database.
4909
4910- Fix a byte-order problem in the client hardware address type code
4911 for OMAPI.
4912
4913- Be slightly less picky about what sort of hardware addresses OMAPI
4914 can install in host declarations.

4918- Incorporated Peter Marschall's proposed change to array/record
4919 parsing, which allows things like the slp-agent option to be encoded
4920 correctly. Thanks very much to Peter for taking the initiative to
4921 do this, and for doing such a careful job of it (e.g., updating the
4922 comments)!

4930 Jumelle where when the network connection between two servers is
4931 lost, they never reconnect.
4932
4933- Fix client script files other than that for NetBSD to actually use
4934 make_resolv_conf as documented in the manual page.
4935
4936- Fix a bug in the packet handling code that could result in a core
4937 dump.
4938
4939- Fix a bug in the bootp code where responses on the local net would
4940 be sent to the wrong MAC address. Thanks to Jerry Schave for
4941 catching this one.

4943 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 3
4944
4945- In the DHCP client, execute client statements prior to using the values
45d545f0 4946 of options, so that the client configuration can overridden, e.g., the
490eb5e7
TL
4947 lease renewal time.
4948
4949- Fix a reference counting error that would result in very reproducible
4950 failures in updates, as well as occasional core dumps, if a zone was
4951 declared without a key.
4952
4953- Fix some Linux 2.0 compilation problems.
4954
4955- Fix a bug in scope evaluation during execution of "on" statements that
4956 caused values not to be recorded on leases.
4957
4958- If the dhcp-max-message-size option is specified in scope, and the
4959 client didn't send this option, use the one specified in scope to
4960 determine the maximum size of the response.

4978 allocate a larger buffer, and retry. Thanks to Greg Fausak for
4979 pointing this out.
4980
4981- In the server, if no interfaces were configured, report an error and
4982 exit.
4983
4984- Don't ever record a state of 'startup'.
4985
4986- Don't try to evaluate the local failover binding address if none was
4987 specified. Thanks to Joseph Breu for finding this.
