EH
9ISC DHCP 4.1.x includes several new DHCPv6 features that were not included
10in DHCP 4.0.x. These include:
98bd7ca0 11
01a54c17 12- Support for the rapid-commit option on the client side
98bd7ca0 13
01a54c17 14- Prefix Delegation support
98bd7ca0 15
01a54c17 16- IA_TA address support
98bd7ca0 17
7de20a95 18- A basic DHCPv6 relay agent
98bd7ca0 19
37ec5845
FD
20- Basic and partial DHCPv6 leasequery support
21
01a54c17
EH
22There are a number of DHCPv6 limitations and features missing in this
23release, which will be addressed in the future:
98bd7ca0 24
01a54c17 25- Only Solaris, Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD are supported.
3a16098f 26
01a54c17 27- Only a single address is supported per IA.
29d5553a 28
98bd7ca0
DH
29- DHCPv6 includes human-readable text in status code messages. These
30 should be configurable, and probably localized via gettext() or the
31 like.
32
33- The "host-identifier" option is limited to a simple token.
34
98bd7ca0 35- The client and server can only operate DHCPv4 or DHCPv6 at a time,
45d545f0 36 not both. To use both protocols simultaneously, two instances of the
6de1f33e 37 relevant daemon are required, one with the '-6' command line option.

01a54c17
EH
46The system has only been tested on Linux, FreeBSD, and Solaris, and may not
47work on other platforms. Please report any problems and suggested fixes to
48<dhcp-users@isc.org>.

61d75ea2 50
a4ffedd1
DH
51 Changes since 4.1.0a2
52
53- A cosmetic bug in DHCPDECLINE processing was fixed which caused all
54 successful DHCPDECLINEs to be logged as "not found" rather than
55 "abandoned".
56
6ff3b26d
FD
57- Added configuration file examples for DHCPv6.
58
1387545f
DH
59- Some failover debugging #defines have been better defined and some
60 high frequency messages moved to a deeper debugging symbol.
61
62- The CLTT parameter in failover is now only updated by client activity,
63 and not by failover binding updates (taking on the peer's CLTT).
64
65- Failover BNDUPD messages are now discarded if they conflict with an
66 update that has been trasnmitted, but not acknowledged.
67
399d3dbe
DH
68- A bug cleaning up unknown-xxx temporary option definitions was fixed.
69
fbcee149
DH
70- Delayed-ack is now a compile-time option, compiled out by default.
71 This feature is simply too experimental for right now, and causes
72 some problems to some failover installations. We will revisit this
73 in future releases.
74
f1672d89
DH
75- The !inet_pton() call in res_mkupdrec was adjusted to '<= 0' as
76 inet_pton returns either 1, 0, or -1.
77
236d3a99
DH
78- A dhclient-script for MacOS X has been included, which enables
79 'dhclient -6' support.
80
7d6180be 81 Changes since 4.1.0a1
edcb5c46
EH
82
83- Corrected list of failover state values in dhcpd man page.
84
51e7687f
EH
85- Fixed a bug that caused some request types to be logged incorrectly.
86
20210a7b
EH
87- Clients that sent a parameter request list containing the
88 routers option before the subnet mask option were receiving
89 only the latter. Fixed.
90
535485df
EH
91- The server wasn't always sending the FQDN option when it should.
92
8fbb55ff
DH
93- A partner-down failover server no longer emits 'peer holds all free leases'
94 if it is able to newly-allocate one of the peer's leases.
95
61220a00
EH
96- Fixed a coredump when adding a class via OMAPI.
97
c40e954c
EH
98- Check whether files are zero length before trying to parse them.
99
63971a83
DH
100- Ari Edelkind's PARANOIA patch has been included and may be compiled in
101 via two ./configure parameters, --enable-paranoia and
102 --enable-early-chroot.
103
66cebfcb
DH
104- ./configure was extended to cover many optional build features, such
105 as failover, server tracing, debugging, and the execute() command.
106
f8cbf390
DH
107- There is now a default 1/4 of a second scheduled delay between delayed
108 fsync()'s, it can be configured by the max-ack-delay configuration
109 parameter.
110
8269561d
DH
111- A bug was fixed where the length of a hostname was miscalculated, so that
112 hosts were given odd-looking domain names ("foo.bar.ba.example.com").
113
b445a411
DH
114- Shared network selection should be done from the innermost relay
115 valid link-address field, rather than the outermost.
116
bd72740e
FD
117- Prefix pools are attached to shared network scopes.
118
9322442f
FD
119- Merged IA_XX related structures.
120
8dea7ba7
FD
121- Add DHCPv6 files in configure.
122
4619c0a2
DH
123- A memory leak when using omapi has been fixed.
124
9ac4206a
DH
125- DHCPv6 vendor-class options (VSIO) are now only sent when they appear
126 on the DHCPv6 ORO. This resolves a bug where VSIO options were placed
127 in IA_NA encapsulated options fields.
128
420d8b3f
FD
129- Integrated client with stateless, temporary address and prefix delegation
130 support.
131
40ec5f38
DH
132- A double-dereference in dhclient transmission of DHCPDECLINEs was
133 repaired.
134
80097764
FD
135- Fix handling of format code 'Z'.
136
ffbaa880
FD
137- Support "-1" argument in DHCPv6.
138
7de20a95
EH
139- Merge DHCPv6-only "dhcrelay6" into general-purpose "dhcrelay" (use
140 "-6" option to select DHCPv6 mode).
141
d352732e
EH
142- Fix handling of -A and -a flags in dhcrelay; it was failing to expand
143 packet size as needed to add relay agent options.
144
7d6180be
DH
145- A bug in subnet6 parsing where options contained in subnet6 clauses would
146 not be applied to clients addressed within that network was repaired.
147
148- When configuring a "subnet {}" or "subnet6 {}" without an explicit
149 shared-network enclosing it, the DHCP software would synthesize a
150 shared-network to contain the subnet. However, all configuration
151 parameters within the subnet more intuitively belong "to any client
152 on that interface", or rather the synthesized shared-network. So,
153 when a shared-network is synthesized, it is used to contain the
154 configuration present inside the subnet {} clause. This means that
155 the configuration will be valid for all clients on that network, not
156 just those addressed out of the stated subnet. If you intended the
157 opposite, the workaround is to explicitly configure an empty
158 shared-network.
159
160- A bug was fixed where Information-Request processing was not sourcing
161 configured option values.
162
163- A warning was added since the DHCPv6 processing software does not yet
164 support class statements.
165
dd484ced
DH
166- Compliation warnings on GCC 4.3 relating to bootp source address
167 selection were repaired.
168
ecddae64
DH
169- The v6 BSD socket method was updated to use a single UDP BSD socket
170 no matter how many interfaces are involved, differentiating the
171 interfaces the packets were received on by the interface index supplied
172 by the OS.
173
174- The relay agent no longer listens to the All DHCP Servers Multicast
175 address.
176
177- A bug was fixed in data_string_sprintfa() where va_start was only called
178 once for two invocations of vsprintf() variants.
179
d104d45b
DH
180- ERO (RFC 4994) server support.
181
182- Basic and partial DHCPv6 leasequery support.
183
184- Reliable DHCPv6 release (previous behavior, send release and exit, is
185 still available with dhclient -6 -1 -r).
186
01a54c17 187 Changes since 4.0.0 (new features)
3c12f746 188
6d7f9584
FD
189- Added DHCPv6 rapid commit support.
190
4cafb815 191- Added explicit parser support for zero-length DHCP options, such as
6d7f9584 192 rapid-commit, via format code 'Z'.
4cafb815 193
022fe95e
EH
194- It's now possible to update the "ends" field of a lease with OMAPI.
195 This is useful if you want not only to release a lease, but also make
196 it available for reuse right away. Hat tip to Christof Chen.
197
1dcc3612
SK
198- Fixed definition of the iaaddr hash functions to use the correct
199 functions when referencing and dereferencing memory.
200
aabfa4de
FD
201- Some definitions not in phase with the IANA registry were updated.
202
0674055a
FD
203- Allocated interface IDs are better controlled ('u' bit set to zero,
204 reserved IDs avoided).
205
b51c785f
FD
206- Unicast options are taken into account only for RENEWs.
207
900405e9
FD
208- NoAddrsAvail answers to SOLICITs are always ADVERTISEs even when a SOLICIT
209 carries a rapid-commit option.
210
96b620e5
FD
211- Return in place of raise an impossible condition when one tries to release
212 an empty active lease.
213
be62cf06
FD
214- Timer granularity is now 1/100s in the DHCPv6 client.
215
01a54c17
EH
216- The dhclient-script was updated to create a host route for the default
217 gateway if the supplied subnet mask for an IPv4 address was a /32. This
218 allows the client to work in 'captive' network environments, where the
219 operator does not want clients to crosstalk directly.
220
221- MINUS tokens should be parseable again.
222
223- Multiple (up to "delayed-ack x;" maximum) DHCPv4 packets are now queued and
224 released in bursts after single fsync() events when the upper limit is
225 reached or if the receiving sockets go dry. The practical upshot is
226 that fsync-coupled server performance is now multiplicitively increased.
227 The default delayed ack limit is 28. Thanks entirely to a patch from
228 Christof Chen.
229
230 Changes since 4.0.0 (bug fixes)
231
232- DHCP now builds on AIX.
233
234- Exit with warning when DHCPv6-specific statements are used in the
235 config file but -6 is not specified.
236
237- Fixed "--version" flag in dhcrelay
238
239- The 'min-secs' configuration parameter's log message has been updated to
240 be more helpful.
241
242- The warning logged when an address range doesn't fit in the subnets
243 they were declared has been updated to be more helpful and identify the
244 typo in configuration that created the spanning addresses.
245
246- A bug in failover pool rebalancing that caused POOLREQ message ping-pongs
247 was repaired.
248
249- A flaw in failover pool rebalancing that could cause POOLREQ messages to
250 be sent outside of the min-balance/max-balance scheduled intervals has
251 been repaired.
252
253- A cosmetic bug during potential-conflict recovery that caused the peer's
254 'conflict-done' state message to be logged as 'unknown-state' has been
255 repaired. It is now logged correctly.
256
49f61135
DH
257- A bug was fixed where the 'giaddr' may be used to find the client's subnet
258 rather than its own 'ciaddr'.
259
41d4652f
DH
260- A log message was introduced to clarify the situation where a failover
261 'address' parameter (the server's local address) did not resolve to an
262 IPv4 address.
263
2c9bf1f4
DH
264- The minimum site code value was set to 224 in 3.1.0 to track RFC3942. This
265 broke a lot of legacy site local configurations. The new code in place will
266 track site local space minimum option codes and logs a warning to encourage
267 updates and exploration of site local code migration problems. Option
268 codes less than 128 in site local spaces remain inaccessible.
269
270- A possible relay agent option bug was repaired where random server
271 initialization state may have been used to signal the relay agent
272 information options sub-option code for the 'END' of the option space.
273
cff9b78f
SK
274- Fixes to allow code to compile and run on Solaris 9.
275
c4d29896
SK
276- Fixes to allow code to compile on Mac OS X Leopard (10.5).
277
57fcb8d9
SK
278- When server is configured with options that it overrides, a warning is
279 issued when the configuration file is read, rather than at the time the
280 option is overridden. This was important, because the warning was given
281 every time the option was overridden, which could create a lot of
282 unnecessary logging.
283
219a65eb
DH
284- Fixed a compilation problems on platforms that define a value for FDDI,
285 which conflicts with a dhcp configuration syntax token by the same name.
286
ffdf3c8c
DH
287- When a failover server suspects it has encountered a peer running a
288 version 3.0.x failover server, a warning that the failover wire protocol
289 is incompatible is printed.
290
291- The failover server no longer issues a floating point error if it encounters
292 a previously undefined option code.
293
00a002fc
MA
294- Fix startup error messages to report a missing "subnet6 declaration", rather
295 than a missing "subnet declaration", when running as a DHCPv6 server.
296
7e9f7a1b
FD
297- DHCPv6 client timestamp in DUID was based on the year 1970 rather
298 than the year 2000.
299
e2cfde76
FD
300- Warn when attempting to use a hardware parameter in DHCPv6.
301
cabdb9b1
FD
302- DHCPv6 released resources are now marked as released by the client.
303
5d89d60f
FD
304- 'Soft' bindings have no more side-effects.
305
61d75ea2
DH
306 Changes since 4.0.0b3
307
308- The reverse dns name for PTR updates on IPv6 addresses has been fixed to
309 use ip6.arpa. rather than default to in-addr.arpa and require user
310 configuration.
76db44f9 311
e32529a5
EH
312- dhc6_lease_destroy() and dhc6_ia_destroy() now set lease and IA pointers
313 to NULL after freeing, to prevent subsequent accesses to freed memory.
314
76db44f9
SK
315- The DHCPv6 server would not send the preference option unless the
316 client requested it, via the ORO. This has been fixed, so the DHCPv6
317 server will always send the preference value if it is configured.
e4a6be15 318
6f76de58
SK
319- When addresses were passed as hints to the server in an IA, they were
320 incorrectly handled, sometimes being treated as an error. Now the
321 server will treat these as hints and ignore them if it cannot supply
322 a requested address.
323
703873ab
DH
324- If the client had multiple addresses, and one expired (was not renewed
325 by the server), the client would continue to attempt to renew the same
326 old address over and over. Now, the client will omit any expired
327 addresses from future Confirm, Renew, or Rebind messages.
328
329- dhclient -6 will now select renew/rebind timers based upon the longest
330 address expiration time rather than the shortest expiration time, in
331 order to avoid cascading renewals in the event a server elects not to
332 extend one of multiple IAADDR leases.
333
b024480e
DH
334- The server now limits clients that request multiple addresses to one
335 address per IA by default, which can be adjusted through the
336 "limit-addrs-per-ia" configuration option.
337
c0216cb7
DH
338- The DHCPv6 client now issues fresh transaction IDs on Renew and Rebind
339 message exchanges, rather than using the most recent ID.
340
1ac57173
FD
341- The DHCPv6 server now replies to Information-Request messages.
342
83835822
DH
343- A bug was fixed in the dhclient-script for BSDs to correctly carry error
344 codes through some conditions.
345
c54db708
FD
346- The parsing of some options in the dhclient lease file, in particular
347 the success DHCPv6 status-code, was fixed.
348
e5d83524
DH
349- A bug was fixed that caused the DHCPv6 ORO option to be corrupted with
350 seemingly random values.
351
821f2dda
DH
352- A reference overleak in DHCPv6 shared network processing was repaired.
353
f8b3c6f4
DH
354- ./configure now autodetects local database locations rather than trying
355 to put dhcpd.leases and dhclient.leases in /usr/local/var/db, which no
356 one ever has.
357
b9137d42
SK
358- Regression fix for bug where server advertised a IPv6 address in
359 response to a SOLICIT but would not return the address in response
360 to a REQUEST.
361
9f1d5a2f
DH
362- A bug was fixed where the DHCPv6 server puts the NoAddrsAvail status
363 code in the IA_NA was fixed. The status code now appears in the root
364 level.
365
e4a6be15
DH
366 Changes since 4.0.0b2
367
65cf86d7
EH
368- Clarified error message when lease limit exceeded
369
b1d3778c
DH
370- Relative time may now be used as a qualifier for 'allow' and 'deny' access
371 control lists. These directives may be used to assist in re-addressing
372 address pools without having to constantly reconfigure the server. Please
373 see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more information on allow/deny 'after time' syntax.
374 Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen.
375
bead14ea
DH
376- The server will now include multiple IA_NA's and multiple IAADDRs within
377 them, if advertised by the client. It still only seeks to allocate one
378 new address.
379
f765ec36
SK
380 Changes since 4.0.0b1
381
75135a3f
EH
382- Use different paths for PID and lease files when running in DHCPv4
383 or DHCPv6 mode, so that servers for both protcols can be run
384 simultaneously on a single interface.
385
5c2d55c7
EH
386- Fixed a buffer overflow error which could have allowed a denial
387 of service under unusual server configurations
388
389- Eliminated a spurious error message from the client
390
f765ec36
SK
391- A number of bugs with the internal handling of lease state on the
392 server have been fixed. Some of these could cause server crashes.
fa9b593d 393
edb1283e
DH
394- The peer_wants_leases() changes pulled up from 3.1.0 were corrected,
395 'never used' leases will no longer consistently shift between servers
396 on every pool rebalance run.
397
c71c6399
DH
398- sendmsg()/recvmsg() control buffers are now declared in such a way to
399 ensure they are correctly aligned on all (esp. 64-bit) architectures.
400
5279b8f3
DH
401- The client leasing subsystem was streamlined and corrected to account
402 more closely for changes in client link attachment selection.
403
ab3a540f 404 Changes since 4.0.0a3
763cba6b 405
884a458f
SK
406- The DHCP server no longer requires a "ddns-update-style" statement,
407 and now defaults to "none", which means DNS updates are disabled.
408
fa9b593d
DH
409- Log messages when failover peer names mismatch have been improved to
410 point out the problem.
411
1b5053b5
SK
412- Bug where server advertised a IPv6 address in response to a SOLICIT
413 but would not return the address in response to a REQUEST. Thanks to
414 Dennis Kou for finding the bug.
415
c886c298
SK
416- Fixed an error causing the server to lock up on lease expiration,
417 reported independently by Jothilingam Vasu and Dennis Kou.
418
eaf7eb17
DH
419- Fixed a ./configure bug where compile tests were failing due to
420 "-Werror" (unused variable) rather than the actual test failure. Lead
421 to inconsistent and unworkable auto-configurations.
422
109e00db
DH
423- Compilation with DLPI and -Werror has been repaired.
424
3ad9d48f
SK
425- Error in decoding IA_NA option if multiple interfaces are present
426 fixed by Marcus Goller.
427
8eab95f2
DH
428- DHCPv6 server Confirm message processing has been enhanced - it no
429 longer replies only to clients with host {} records, it now replies
430 as directed in RFC3315 section 18.2.2 - that is, to all clients
431 regardless of the existence of bindings.
432
07b9a351
DH
433- A core dump during expired lease cleanup has been repaired.
434
7285af30
DH
435- DDNS updates state information are now stored in 'binding scopes' that
436 follow the leases through their lifecycles. This enables DDNS teardowns
437 on leases that are assigned and expired inbetween a server restart (the
438 state is recovered from dhcpd.leases). Arbitrary user-specified binding
439 scopes ('set var = "value";') are not yet supported.
440
2394b26b
DH
441- Additional compilation problems on HP/UX have been repaired.
442
ab3a540f
SK
443 Changes since 4.0.0a2

97050349
SK
445- Fix for startup where there are no IPv4 addresses on an interface.
446 Thanks to Marcus Goller for reporting the bug.
447
763cba6b 448- Fixed file descriptor leak on listen failure. Thanks to Tom Clark.
e889ded1 449
237f8d3a
SK
450- Bug in server configuration parser caused server to get stuck on
451 startup for certain bad pool declarations. Thanks to Guillaume
452 Knispel for the bug report and fix.
453
28868515
SK

DH
459- An internal database inconsistency bug was repaired where the server
460 would segfault if a client attempted to renew a lease that had been
461 loaded from persistent storage.
462
45d545f0 463- 'request' and 'also request' syntaxes have been added to accommodate
0c20eab3
DH
464 the DHCPv6 client configuration. 'send dhcp6.oro' is no longer
465 necessary.

SK
467- Bug fixed where configuration file parsing did not work with
468 zero-length options; this made it impossible to set the
469 rapid-commit option.

471- Bogus messages about host records with IPv4 fixed-addresses being of
472 non-128-bits in length were removed.

486- Compilation on HP/UX has been repaired. The changes should generally
487 apply to any architecture that supplies SIOCGLIFCONF but does not
488 use 'struct lifconf' structures to pass values.

DH
490- Two new operators, ~= and ~~, have been integrated to implement
491 boolean matches by regular expression (such as may be used in
492 class matching statements). Thanks to a patch by Alexandr S.
493 Agranovsky, which underwent slight modification.

529- Include the more standard sys/uio.h rather than rely upon other
f66f02cc
DH
530 header files to include it (fixes a BSD 4.2 compile failure).
531
532- Duplicate dhclient-script updates for DHCPv6 to all provided scripts.
a512d11b 533
4ba58919
DH
534- DHCPv4 I/O methods that failed to sense hardware address were corrected.
535
536- DHCPv4 is now the default (as documented) rather than DHCPv6. The default
537 was set to DHCPv6 to facilitate ease early development, and forgotten.
538
539- Corrected a segmentation violation in DHCPv4 socket processing.
540
8ea19a71 541- dhclient will now fork() into the background once it binds to an
45d545f0 542 IPv6 address, or immediately if the -n flag is supplied.
8ea19a71
DH
543
544- -q is now the default behaviour on dhclient, with -d or -v enabling
545 non-quiet (stderr logging) mode.

552
98bd7ca0
DH
553 Changes since 3.1.0 (NEW FEATURES)
554
555- DHCPv6 Client and Server protocol support. Use '-6' to run the daemons
556 as v6-only. Use '-4' to run the daemons as v4-only (default. There is
557 no support currently for both.
558
559- Server support for multiple IA_NA options, containing at most one
560 IAADDR option.
561
562- Client support for one IA_NA option, containing any number of IAADDR
563 options.
564
565- Server support for the DHCPv6 Information-request message.
566
567- Inappropriate unicast DHCPv6 messages sent to the server are now
568 discarded, and this has rearchitected the IO system slightly.
569
570- The DHCPv6 server DUID defaults to type 1, is persistently stored in
571 the leases database, and can be over-ridden (either completely, or by
572 specifying type 1 or type 2).
573
574- The server only uses Rapid-Commit if it has been configured with the
575 Rapid-Commit option and the client requests it.
576
577- DDNS support. We now update AAAA records in the same place we would
578 update A records, if we have an IPv6 address. We also generate IP6.ARPA
579 style names for PTR records if we're dealing with an IPv6 address. Both
580 A and AAAA updates are done using the same 'fqdn.' virtual option space
581 (although the DHCPv4 FQDN and DHCPv6 FQDN options are formatted
582 differently, they both use the same code here).
583
584- The Linux dhclient-script attempts to set and remove assigned addresses,
585 and to configure /etc/resolv.conf from nameserver and domain name
586 configurations. It can be extended to configure other parameters.
587
588- Initial DHCPv6 lease support.
589
590- The IO system now tracks all local IP addresses, so that the DHCP
591 applications (particularly the dhcrelay) can discern between what frames
592 were transmitted to it, and what frames are being carried through it which
593 it should not intercept.
594

DH
595 Changes since 3.1.0 (Maintenance)
596
597- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for virgin leases always
598 mapped to the primary. Virgin leases now have an interleaved preference
599 between primary and secondary.
600
601- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for clients with no client
602 identifier was sometimes mishashed to the peer. Load balancing during
603 runtime and pool rebalancing were opposing.
604
aa3e348e
DH
605- An assertion in lease counting relating to reserved leases was repaired.
606
e9c59645
DH
607- The subnet-mask option inclusion now conforms with RFC2132 section 3.3;
608 it will only appear prior to the routers option if it is present on the
609 Parameter-Request-List. The subnet-mask option will also only be
610 included by default (if it is not on the PRL) in response to DISCOVER
611 or REQUEST messages.
612
613- The FQDN option is only supplied if the client supplied an FQDN option or
614 if the FQDN option was explicitly requested on the PRL.
615
c104546d
DH
616- Dynamic BOOTP leases are now load balanced in failover.

621 failover protected subnets was removed.
622
a512cc3a
DH
623 Changes since 3.1.0b2
624
625- Failover rebalance events no longer play ping pong with round errors
626 (moving leases between free and back to backup where there are an
627 odd number of leases).
628
629- The 'pool' log line has been split into two messages, one before the
630 rebalance run, and one after.
631
632- Any queued BNDACKs are transmitted before transmitting new BNDUPDs.
633 This enforces the correct sequence of events for the remote server
634 processing these messages.
635
fe5b0fdd 636 Changes since 3.1.0b1

74dc3e0b
EH
638- Fixed a bug that caused OMAPI clients to freeze when opening lease
639 objects.
640
1ba87b37
EH
641- A new server config option "fqdn-reply" specifies whether the server
642 should send out option 81 (FQDN). Defaults to "on". If set to "off",
643 the FQDN option is not sent, even if the client requested it. This is
644 needed because some clients misbehave otherwise. Thanks to Christof Chen
645 at Allianz.
646

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

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

653- Some uninitialized values were repaired in dhcpleasequery.c that
654 caused the server to abort.
655
4d2eaafb
DH
656- A new server config option, 'do-reverse-updates', has been added
657 which causes the server to abstain from performing updates on PTR
658 records. Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen at Allianz.

660- A bug was repaired in subencapsulation support, where spaces separated
661 by empty spaces would not get included.
662
d6614ea2
DH
663- A bug in dhclient was repaired which caused it to send parameter request
664 lists of 55 bytes in length no matter how long the declared PRL was.
665
132d38f2
DH
666- 'dhcp.c(3953): non-null pointer' has been repaired. This fixes a flaw
667 wherein the DHCPv4 server may ignore a configured server-identifier.

669- A flaw in failover startup sequences was repaired that sometimes left
670 the primary DHCP server's pool rebalance schedules unscheduled.

689- A bug in the FQDN universe that added FQDN codes to the NWIP universe's
690 hash table was repaired.
691
616d67cb
DH
692- The servers now try harder to transmit pending binding updates when
693 entering normal state.
694
695- UPDREQ/UPDREQALL handling was optimized - it no longer dequeues and
696 requeues all pending updates. This should reduce the number of spurious
66c8f734
DH
697 'xid mismatch' log messages.
698
699- An option definition referencing leak was fixed, which resulted in early
700 termination of dhclient upon the renewal event.
616d67cb 701
6708d944
DH
702- Some default hash table sizes were tweaked, some upwards, some downwards.
703 3.1.0a1's tables resulted in a reduction in default server memory use.
704 The new selected values provide more of a zero sum (increasing the size
705 of tables likely to be populated, decreasing the size of tables unlikely).
706
45d545f0 707- Lease structures appear in three separate hashes: by IP address, by UID,
6708d944
DH
708 and by hardware address. One type of table was used for all three, and
709 improvements to IP address hashing were applied to all three (so UID and
710 hardware addresses were treated like 4-byte integers). There are now two
711 types of tables, and the uid/hw hashes use functions more appropriate
712 to their needs.
713
714- The max-lease-misbalance percentage no longer causes scheduled rebalance
715 runs to be skipped: it still governs the schedule, but every scheduled
716 run will attempt balance.
717
a7ee93fe
DH
718- A segfault bug in recursive encapsulation support has been corrected.
719
98311e4b
DH
720 Changes since 3.0 (New Features)
721
722- A workaround for certain STSN servers that send a mangled domain-name
723 option was introduced for dhclient. The client will now accept corrupted
724 server responses, if they contain a valid DHCP_MESSAGE_TYPE (OFFER, ACK,
725 or NAK). The server will continue to not accept corrupt client packets.
726
98bd7ca0 727- Support for 'reserved' (pseudo-static) and BOOTP leases via failover
a55ccdd0 728 was introduced.
98311e4b
DH
729
730- Support for adding, removing, and managing class and subclass statements
731 via OMAPI.
732
a55ccdd0
DH
733- The failover implementation was updated to comply with revision 12 of
734 the protocol draft.
735
98311e4b
DH
736- 'make install' now creates the initial zero-length dhcpd.leases file if
737 one does not already exist on the system.
738
b43c87ad 739- RFC3942 compliance, site-local option spaces start at 224 now, not 128.
b43c87ad 740
0b17f049
DH
741- The Load Balance Algorithm was misimplemented. The current implementation
742 matches RFC 3074.
743
2727c1cf
DH
744- lcase() and ucase() configuration expressions have been added which adjust
745 their arguments from upper to lower and lower to upper cases respectively.
2714a8ef 746 Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
2727c1cf 747
febbd402
DH
748- The dhclient 'reject ...;' statement, which rejects leases given by named
749 server-identifiers, now permits address ranges to be specified in CIDR
7d7073e7 750 notation. Thanks to a patch from David Boyce.
febbd402 751
ee912528
DH
752- The subnet-mask option is now supplied by default, but at lowest
753 priority. This helps a small minority of clients that provide parameter
754 request lists, but do not list the subnet-mask option because they were
755 designed to interoperate with a server that behaves in this manner.
756
757- The FQDN option is similarly supplied even if it does not appear on the
758 parameter request list, but not to the exclusion of options that do
759 appear at the parameter request list. Up until now it had ultimate
760 priority over the client's parameter request list.
761
f7fdb216 762- Varying option space code and length bit widths (8/16/32) are now
51202707 763 supported. This is a milestone in achieving RFC 3925 "VIVSO" and
f7fdb216
DH
764 DHCPv6 support.
765
5e864416
DH
766- A new common (server or client) option, 'db-time-format local;', has
767 been added which prints the local time in /var/db/dhcpd.leases rather
768 than UTC. Thanks to a patch from Ken Lalonde.
769
b500bd4c
DH
770- Some patches to improve DHCP Server startup speed from Andrew Matheson
771 have been incorporated.
772
2426234f
DH
773- Failover pairs now implement 'MAC Affinity' on leases moving from the
774 active to free states. Leases that belonged to the failover secondary
775 are moved to BACKUP state rather than FREE upon exiting EXPIRED state.
776 If lease rebalancing must move leases, it tries first to move leases
777 that belong to the peer in need.
778
779- The server no longer sends POOLREQ messages unless the pool is severely
780 misbalanced in the peer's favor (see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more details).
781
782- Pool rebalance events no longer happen upon successfully allocating a
783 lease. Instead, they happen on a schedule. See 'man dhcpd.conf' for the
784 min-balance and max-balance statements for more information.
785
334bf491
DH
786- The DHCP Relay Agent Information Option / Link Selection Sub-Option
787 is now supported. (See RFC3527 for details).
788
3004bebf
DH
789- A new DDNS related server option, update-conflict-detection, has been
790 added. If this option is enabled, dhcpd will perform normal DHCID
791 conflict resolution (the default). If this option is disabled, it will
792 instead trust the assigned name implicitly (removing any other bindings
793 on that name). This option has not been made available in dhclient.
794
567e8561
DH
795- In those cases where the DHCP software manufactures an IP header (to
796 transmit via bpf, lpf, etc), the IP TTL the software selects has been
797 increased from 16 to 128. This is intended to match Microsoft Windows
798 DHCP Client behaviour, to increase compatibility.
799
a396d25f
DH
800- 'ignore client-updates;' now has behaviour that is different from
801 'deny client-updates;'. The client's request is not truly ignored,
802 rather it is encouraged. Should this value be configured, the server
803 updates DNS as though client-updates were set to 'deny'. That is, it
804 enters into DNS whatever it is configured to do already, provided it is
805 configured to. Then it sends a response to the client that lets the
806 client believe it is performing client updates (which it will), probably
807 for a different name. In essence, this lets the client do as it will,
808 ignoring this aspect of their request.
809
dba5803b
DH
810- Support for compressed 'domain name list' style DHCP option contents, and
811 in particular the domain search option (#119) was added.
812
41e45067 813- The DHCP LEASEQUERY protocol as defined in RFC4388 is now implemented.
6d103865
SK
814 LEASEQUERY lets you query the DHCP server for information about a lease,
815 using either an IP address, MAC address, or client identifier. Thanks
816 to a patch from Justin Haddad.
817
41e45067
DH
818- DHCPD is now RFC2131 section 4.1 compliant (broadcast to all-ones ip and
819 ethernet mac address) on the SCO platform specifically without any strange
820 ifconfig hacks. Many thanks go to the Kroger Co. for donating the
821 hardware and funding the development.
6d103865 822
b543fea9
DH
823- A new common configuration executable statement, execute(), has been
824 added. This permits dhcpd or dhclient to execute a named external
825 program with command line arguments specified from other configuration
826 language. Thanks to a patch written by Mattias Ronnblom, gotten to us
827 via Robin Breathe.
828
b22de500
DH
829- A new dhcp server option 'adaptive-lease-time-threshold' has been added
830 which causes the server to substantially reduce lease-times if there are
831 few (configured percentage) remaining leases. Thanks to a patch submitted
832 from Christof Chen.
833
96bbe8c5
SK
834- Encapsulated option spaces within encapsulated option spaces is now
835 formally supported.
836
b8221d95
DH
837 Changes since 3.0.6rc1
838
839- supersede_lease() now requeues leases in their respective hardware
840 address hash bucket. This mirrors client identifier behaviour.
841
c1e6c832
DH
842 Changes since 3.0.5
843
f546c28b
DH
844- Assorted fixes for broken network devices: Packet length is now
845 determined from the IP header length field to finally calculate the
846 UDP payload length, because some NIC drivers return more data than
5a22eb63 847 they actually received.
f546c28b
DH
848
849- UDP packets are now stored in aligned data structures.
850
c1e6c832
DH
851- A logic error in omapi interface code was repaired that might result in
852 incorrectly indicating 'up' state when any flags were set, rather than
23e10d37
DH
853 specifically the INTERFACE_REQUESTED flag. Thanks to a patch from
854 Jochen Voss which got to us via Andrew Pollock at Debian.
c1e6c832 855
75ab3070
DH
856- A reference leak on binding scopes set by ddns updates was repaired.
857
d69fb6a8 858- A memory leak in the minires_nsendsigned() function call was repaired.
23e10d37 859 Effectively, this leaked ~176 bytes per DDNS update.
d69fb6a8 860
02428754
DH
861- In the case where an "L2" DHCP Relay Agent (one that does not set giaddr)
862 was directly attached to the same broadcast domain as the DHCP server,
863 the RFC3046 relay agent information option was not being returned to the
864 relay in the server's replies. This was fixed; the dhcp server no longer
865 requires the giaddr to reply with relay agent information. Note that
866 this also improves compatibility with L2 devices that "intercept" DHCP
867 packets and expect relay agent information even in unicast (renewal)
23e10d37
DH
868 replies. Thanks to a patch from Pekka Silvonen.
869
870- A bug was fixed where the BOOTP header 'sname' field had a value, the
871 copy written to persistent storage was actually the contents of the
872 'file' field.
02428754 873
ecde99a3
DH
874- A bug was fixed where the nwip virtual option space was referencing
875 the fqdn option's virtual option space's option cache.
876
67674ffb
DH
877- Timestamp parsing errors that indicated missing "minutes" fields rather
878 than the actually missing "seconds" fields have been repaired thanks to
879 a patch from Kevin Steves.
880
830ebc4c
DH
881- A grammar error in the dhclient.8 manpage was repaired thanks to a patch
882 from Chris Wagner.
883
c759db75
DH
884- Several spelling typos were repaired, and some cross-references to other
885 relevant documents were included in the manpages, thanks to a patch
886 by Andrew Pollock which got to us via Tomas Pospisek.
887
9aa3f3a5
DH
888- Some bugs were fixed in the 'emergency relay agent options hologram'
889 which is used to retain relay agent option contents from when the
890 client was in INIT or REBIND states. This should solve problems where
891 relay agent options were not echoed from the server, even when giaddr
892 was set.
893
3d0c598a
DH
894- dhclient now closes its descriptor to dhclient.leases prior to executing
895 dhclient-script. Thanks to a patch from Tomas Pospisek.
896
d5b6835f
DH
897- The server's "by client-id" and "by hardware address" hash table lists
898 are now sorted according to the preference to re-allocate that lease to
899 returning clients. This should eliminate pool starvation problems
900 arising when "INIT" clients were given new leases rather than presently
901 active ones.
902
02428754 903 Changes since 3.0.5rc1
0a73b7b6 904
901306d5 905- A bug was repaired in fixes to the dhclient, which sought to run the
0a73b7b6
SK
906 dhclient-script with the 'EXPIRE' state should it receive a NAK in
907 response to a REQUEST. The client now iterates the PREINIT state
908 after the EXPIRE state, so that interfaces that might be configured
909 'down' can be brought back 'up' and initialized.
910
87a08ccc
DH
911- DHCPINFORM handling for clients that properly set ciaddr and come to the
912 server via a relay aget has been repaired.
913
6da113fb
DH
914 Changes since 3.0.4
915
916- A warning that host statements declared within subnet or shared-network
917 scopes are actually global has been added.
918
919- The default minimum lease time (if min-lease-time was not specified)
920 was raised from 0 to 300. 0 is not thought to be sensible, and is
921 known to be damaging.
922
923- Added additional fatal error sanity checks surrounding lease binding
924 state count calculations (free/active counts used for failover pool
925 balancing).
926
dcc557db
DH
927- Some time value size fixes in 3.0.4 brought on from FreeBSD /usr/ports were
928 misapplied to server values rather than client values. The server no longer
929 advertises 8-byte lease-time options when on 64-bit platforms.
930
1b2ab55f
DH
931- A bug where leases not in ACTIVE state would get billed to billed classes
932 (classes with lease limitations) was fixed. Non-active leases OFFERed
933 to clients are no longer billed (but billing is checked before offering).
934
e48891e8
DH
935- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated in regard to the ddns-domainname
936 configuration option - the default configuration and results should be
937 more clear now.
938
6cbc6629
DH
939- If the dhclient were to receive a DHCPNAK while it was in the RENEW
940 state (and consequently, had an active, 'bound' address and related
941 configuration options), it would fail to 'tear down' this information
942 before proceeding into INIT state. dhclient now iterates the dhclient-
943 script with the 'EXPIRE' action to cause these teardowns prior to entering
1d3bfb17 944 INIT state. Thanks to a patch from Chris Zimmerman.
6cbc6629 945
c5fec5fa
DH
946- The omapi.1 manpage had some formatting errors repaired thanks to a patch
947 from Yoshihiko Sarumaru.
948
33e1cb2b
DH
949- A few lines of code that were failover-specific were moved within
950 #if defined() clauses so that compilation without failover could be
951 made possible.
952
2bddf829
DH
953- The log message emitted when the 'leased-address' value was not available
954 in dhcpd.conf "executable statements" has been updated to be more helpful.
955 Manpage information for this value has also been updated.
956
87578987
DH
957- Abandoned or dissociated (err condition) leases now remove any related
958 dynamic dns bindings. Thanks to a patch from Patrick Schoo.
959
e77c575f
DH
960- Attempting to write a new lease file to replace a corrupt (due to
961 encountering non-retryable errors during writing) lease file should
962 no longer result in an infinite recursion.
963
2178df03
DH
964- Host declaration hardware addresses and client identifiers may only be
965 configured once. dhcpd will now fail to load config files that specify
966 multiple identifiers (previous versions would silently over-ride the
967 value with the later configured value).
968
d5341d9b
SK
969- Several option codes that have been allocated since our last release
970 have been named and documented.
971
972- Option names of the form "unknown-123" have been removed from the in-
973 memory hash tables. In order to support options of these names that
974 may appear in dhclient.leases or similar in previous versions, the
975 parser will now find the new option code definition, or mock up a
976 generic option code definition. This should result in a smooth
977 transition from one name to the other, as the new name is used to
978 write new output.
979
6da113fb
DH
980 Changes since 3.0.4rc1
981
982- The dhcp-options.5 manpage was updated to correct indentation errors
983 thanks to a patch from Jean Delvare.
984
985 Changes since 3.0.4b3
986
987- Some manual pages were clarified pursuant to discussion on the dhcp-server
988 mailing list.
989
88cd8aca
DH
990 Changes since 3.0.4b2
991
45d545f0 992- Null-termination sensing for certain clients that unfortunately require
88cd8aca
DH
993 it in DHCPINFORM processing was repaired.
994
995- The host-name option and a few others were moved from "X" format to "t"
996 format to be compatible with new NULL handling functions.
997
998- DHCPINFORM processing is a little more careful about return addressing
999 its responses, or if responding via a relay. The INFORM related
1000 messages also log the 'effective client ip address' rather than the
1001 client's supplied ciaddr (since some clients produce null ciaddrs).
1002
1003- The server was inappropriately sending leases to the RESET state in the
1004 event that multiple active leases were found to match a singly-identified
1005 client. This was changed to RELEASED (by accepting a different, ACTIVE
1006 binding, the client is implicitly releasing its lease). This repairs a
1007 bug wherein secondary servers in failover pairs detecting this condition
1008 move leases to RESET, and primaries refuse to accept that state
1009 transition (properly).
1010
1011- The memset-after-dmalloc() changes made in 3.0.4b1 have been backed out.
1012
1013 Changes since 3.0.4b1
1014
1015- Command line parsing in omshell was repaired - it no longer closes
1016 STDIN after reading one line.
1017
1018- The resolver library no longer closes the /etc/resolv.conf file
1019 descriptor it opened twice.
1020
1021- Changes to trailing NULL removal in 't' option-atoms has been rethought,
1022 it now includes 'd' (domain name) types, and tries hard not to rewind an
1023 option beyond the start of the text field it is un-terminating.
1024
1025 Changes since 3.0.3
1026
1027- A DDNS update handling function was misusing the DNS error codes, rather
1028 than the internal generic result enumeration. The result is a confusing
1029 syslog line, logging the wrong condition.
1030
1031- The DHCP Server was not checking pool balance in the case where it brought
1032 a non-ACTIVE lease out of storage for a client that was returning to use
1033 a lease it once had long ago, and had since expired.
1034
1035- Failover peers no longer bother to look for free leases to allocate when
1036 they already found the client's ACTIVE lease. DISCOVERs are load balanced
98bd7ca0 1037 whether freely-allocated or not, unless the server doubts the peer has
88cd8aca
DH
1038 leases to allocate.
1039
1040- Fixed a bug in dhcrelay agent addition code that suppressed trailing
45d545f0 1041 PAD options - it was suppressing only one trailing PAD option, rather
88cd8aca
DH
1042 than the entire block of them.
1043
3a16098f
DH
1044! Fixed some unlikely overlapping-region memcpy() bugs in dhcrelay agent
1045 option addition and stripping code. Added a few sanity checks. Although
1046 highly improbable, due to requiring the reception of a DHCP datagram well
1047 in excess of all known to be used physical MTU limitations, it is possible
1048 this may have been used in a stack overflow security vulnerability. Thanks
1049 to a patch from infamous42md.
1050
1051! Added some sanity checks to OMAPI connection/authentication code.
1052 Although highly improbable, due to having to deliver in excess of 2^32
1053 bytes of data via the OMAPI channel, not to mention requiring dhcpd to
1054 be able to malloc() a memory region 2^32 bytes in size, it was possible
1055 this might have resulted in a heap overflow security vulnerability.
1056 Thanks to a patch from infamous42md.
88cd8aca
DH
1057
1058- dmalloc() memset()'s the non-debug (data) portion of the allocated
1059 memory to zero. Code that memset()'s the result returned by dmalloc() to
1060 zero is redundant. These redundancies were removed.
1061
1062- Some type declaration corrections to u_int16_t were made in common/tr.c
1063 (Token Ring support) thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at RedHat.
1064
1065- A failover bug that was allowing leases that EXPIRED or were RELEASED
1066 where tsfp and tstp are identical timestamps to languish in these
1067 transitional states has been repaired. As a side effect, lease
1068 databases should be kept more consistent overall, not just for these
1069 transitional states.
1070
1071- If the lease db is deleted out from under the daemon, and it moves to rewrite
1072 the db, it will go ahead with the operation and move the new db into place
1073 once it detects the old db does not exist.
1074
1075- dhclient now ignores IRDA, SIT, and IEEE1394 network interfaces, as it
1076 is either nonsensical or (in the case of IEEE1394) is not known to support
1077 these interfaces. Thanks to Marius Gedminas and Andrew Pollock of Debian.
1078
1079- Some previously undocumented reasons for dhclient-script invoking has
45d545f0 1080 been documented in the dhclient-script.8 manpage.
88cd8aca
DH
1081
1082- Failover potential expiry calculations (TSTP) have been corrected. Results
1083 should be substantially more consistent, and proper given the constraints.
1084
1085- Adjusted lease state validation checks in potential-conflict, to
1086 account for possible clock skew similarly to normal state, and several
1087 previously illegal transitions were made legal (ex: active->released).
1088
1089- An impossible sanity check was removed from omapi/buffer.c, thanks to a
1090 patch from 'infamous42md'.
1091
1092- An OMAPI host/network byte order problem in lease time values has been
1093 repaired.
1094
1095- Several minor bugs, largely relating to treating 8-byte time values as
1096 4-byte entities, have been repaired after careful review of the FreeBSD
1097 ports collection's patch set. Thanks to the nameless entities who have
1098 contributed to the FreeBSD ports.
1099
1100- When writing a trace file, the file is now created with permissions 0600,
1101 to help administrators avoid accidentally publicising sensitive config
1102 data.
1103
1104- The calculation of the maximum size of DHCP packets no longer includes
1105 Ethernet framing overhead. The result is that the 'Maximum Message
1106 Size' option advertised by clients, or the default value 576, is no
1107 longer reduced by 14 bytes, and instead directly reflects the IP level
1108 MTU (and the default, minimum allowed IP MTU of 576).
1109
1110- The special status of RELEASED/EXPIRED/RESET leases when a server
1111 is operating in partner-down was fixed. It no longer requires a
1112 lease be twice the MCLT beyond STOS to 'reallocate', and the expiry
1113 event to turn these into FREE leases without peer acknowledgement
1114 (after STOS+MCLT) has been repaired.
1115
1116- Compilation on older Solaris systems (lacking /usr/include/sys/int_types.h)
1117 has been repaired.
1118
1119- "append"ing a string onto the end of a "t" type option (such as the
1120 domain-name field) that had been improperly NULL-terminated by the
1121 DHCP server will no longer result in a truncated string containing
1122 only the option from the server, and not the expected appended value.
1123 Thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at RedHat.
1124
1125- File handlers on configuration state (config files and lease dbs) should
98bd7ca0 1126 be treated consistently, regardless of whether TRACING is defined or not.
88cd8aca 1127
45d545f0 1128- The Linux build environment has had some minor improvements - better
88cd8aca
DH
1129 sensing of 64-bit pointer sizes (only used for establishing an icmp_id),
1130 and corrections to #if operators regarding LINUX_MAJOR should it ever
1131 move to 3.[01].x.
1132
1133- The server now tries harder to survive the condition where it is unable
1134 to open a new lease file to rewrite the lease state database.
1135
c75473d8
DH
1136 Changes since 3.0.3b3
1137
1138- dhclient.conf documentation for interface {} was updated to reflect recent
1139 discussion on the dhcp-hackers mailing list.
1140
1141- In response to reports that the software does not compile on GCC 4.0.0,
1142 -Werror was removed from Makefile.conf for all platforms that used it.
1143 We will address the true problem in a future release; this is a temporary
1144 workaround.
1145
1146 Changes since 3.0.3b2
1147
1148- An error in code changes introduced in 3.0.3b2 was corrected, which caused
1149 static BOOTP clients to receive random addresses.
1150
1151 Changes since 3.0.3b1
1152
1153- A bug was fixed in BOOTPREQUEST handling code wherein stale references to
1154 host records would be left behind on leases that were not allocated to the
1155 client currently booting (eg in the case where the host was denied booting).
1156
1157- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated to be more clear in regards to
1158 multiple host declarations (thanks to Vincent McIntyre). 'Interim' style
1159 dynamic updates were also retouched.
1160
98311e4b
DH
1161 Changes since 3.0.2
1162
1163- A bug was fixed where a server might load balance a DHCP REQUEST to its
45d545f0 1164 peer after already choosing not to load balance the preceding DISCOVER.
98311e4b
DH
1165 The peer cannot allocate the originating server's lease.
1166
1167- In the case where a secondary server lost its stable storage while the
1168 primary was still in communications-interrupted, and came back online,
1169 the lease databases would not be fully transferred to the secondary.
1170 This was due to the secondary errantly sending an extra UPDREQ message
1171 when the primary made its state transition to PARTNER-DOWN known.
1172
1173- The package will now compile cleanly in gcc 3.3 and 3.4. As a side effect,
1174 lease structures will be 9 bytes smaller on all platforms. Thanks to
1175 Jason Vas Dias at Redhat.
1176
1177- Interface discovery code in DISCOVER_UNCONFIGURED mode is now
1178 properly restricted to only detecting broadcast interfaces. Thanks
1179 to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at RedHat.
1180
1181- decode_udp_ip_header was changed so that the IP address was copied out
1182 to a variable, rather than referenced by a pointer. This enforces 4-byte
1183 alignment of the 32-bit IP address value. Thanks to a patch from Dr.
1184 Peter Poeml.
1185
1186- An incorrect log message was corrected thanks to a patch from
1187 Dr. Peter Poeml.
1188
1189- A bug in DDNS was repaired, where if the server's first DDNS action was
1190 a DDNS removal rather than a DDNS update, the resolver library's
1191 retransmit timer and retry timer was set to the default, implying a
1192 15 second timeout interval. Which is a little excessive in a synchronous,
1193 single-threaded system. In all cases, ISC DHCP should now hold fast to
1194 a 1-second timeout, trying only once.
1195
1196- The siaddr field was being improperly set to the server-identifier when
1197 responding to DHCP messages. RFC2131 clarified the siaddr field as
1198 meaning the 'next server in the bootstrap process', eg a tftp server.
1199 The siaddr field is now left zeroed unless next-server is configured.
1200
1201- mockup_lease() could have returned in an error condition (or in the
1202 condition where no fixed-address was found matching the shared
1203 network) with stale references to a host record. This is probably not
1204 a memory leak since host records generally never die anyway.
1205
1206- A bug was repaired where failover servers would let stale client identifiers
1207 persist on leases that were reallocated to new clients not sending an id.
1208
1209- Binding scopes ("set var = value;") are now removed from leases allocated
1210 by failover peers if the lease had expired. This should help reduce the
1211 number of stale binding scopes on leases.
1212
1213- A small memory leak was closed involving client identifiers larger than
1214 7 bytes, and failover.
1215
1216- Configuring a subnet in dhcpd.conf with a subnet mask of 32 bits might
1217 cause an internal function to overflow heap. Thanks to Jason Vas Dias
1218 at Redhat.
1219
1220- Some inconsistencies in treating numbers that the lexer parsed as 'NUMBER'
1221 or 'NUMBER_OR_NAME' was repaired. Hexadecimal parsing is affected, and
1222 should work better.
1223
1224- In several cases, parse warnings were being issued before the lexical
1225 token had been advanced to the token whose value was causing an error...
1226 causing parse warnings to claim the problem is on the wrong token.
1227
1228- Host declarations matching on client identifier for dynamic leases will
1229 no longer match fixed-address host declarations (this is now identical
1230 to behaviour for host records matching on hardware address).
1231
1232 Changes since 3.0.2rc3
1233
1234- A previously undocumented configuration directive, 'local-address',
1235 was documented in the dhcpd.conf manpage.
1236
1237 Changes since 3.0.2rc2
1238
45d545f0 1239- Two variables introduced in 3.0.2b1 were used without being initialized
98311e4b
DH
1240 in the case where neither the FILE nor SNAME fields were available for
1241 overloading. This was repaired.
1242
1243- A heretofore believed to be impossible corner case of the option
1244 overloading implementation turned out to be possible ("Unable to sort
1245 overloaded options after 10 tries."). The implementation was reworked
1246 to consider the case of an option so large it would require more than
1247 three chunks to fit.
1248
1249- Many other instances of variables being used without being initialized
1250 were repaired.
1251
1252- An uninitialized variable in omapi_io_destroy() led to the discovery
1253 that this function may result in orphaned pointers (and hence, a memory
1254 leak).
1255
1256 Changes since 3.0.2rc1
1257
1258- allocate_lease() was rewritten to repair a bug in which the server would
1259 try to allocate an ABANDONED lease when FREE leases were available.
1260
1261 Changes since 3.0.2b1
1262
1263- Some dhcp-eval.5 manpage formatting was repaired.
1264
1265 Changes since 3.0.1
1266
1267- A bug was fixed in the server's 'option overloading' implementation,
1268 where options loaded into the 'file' and 'sname' packet fields were
1269 not aligned precisely as rfc2131 dictates.
1270
1271- The FreeBSD client script was changed to support the case where a domain
1272 name was not provided by the server.
1273
1274- A memory leak in 'omshell' per each command line parsed was
1275 repaired, thanks to a patch from Jarkko Torppa.
1276
1277- Log functions writing to stderr were adjusted to use the STDERR_FILENO
1278 system definition rather than '2'. This is a no-op for 90% of platforms.
1279
1280- One call to trace_write_packet_iov() counted the number of io vectors
1281 incorrectly, causing inconsistent tracefiles. This was fixed.
1282
1283- Some expression parse failure memory leaks were closed.
1284
1285- A host byte order problem in tracefiles was repaired.
1286
1287- Pools configured in DHCPD for failover possessing permission lists that
1288 previously were assumed to not include dyanmic bootp clients are now
1289 a little more pessimistic. The result is, dhcpd will nag you about just
1290 about most pools that possess a 'allow' statement with no 'deny' that
1291 would definitely match a dynamic bootp client.
1292
1293- The 'ddns-update-style' configuration warning bit now insists that
1294 the configuration be globally scoped.
1295
1296- Two memory leaks in dhclient were closed thanks to a patch from Felix
1297 Farkas.
1298
1299- Some minor but excellently pedantic documentation errors were fixed
1300 thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
1301
1302- Bugs in operator precedence in executable statements have been repaired
1303 once again. More legal syntaxes should be parsed legally.
1304
1305- Failing to initialize a tracefile for any reason if a tracefile was
1306 specified is now a fatal error. Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
1307
1308- Corrected a bug in which the number of leases transferred as calculated
1309 by the failover primary and sent to peers in POOLRESP responses may be
1310 incorrect. This value is not believed to be used by other failover
1311 implementations, excepting perhaps as logged information.
1312
1313- Corrected a bug in which 'dhcp_failover_send_poolresp()' was in fact
1314 sending POOLREQ messages instead of POOLRESP mesasges. This message
1315 was essentially ignored since failover secondaries effectively do not
1316 respond to POOLREQ messages.
1317
1318- Type definitions for various bitwidths of integers in the sunos5-5
1319 build of ISC DHCP have been fixed. It should compile and run more
1320 easily when built in 64-bit for this platform.
1321
1322- "allow known-clients;" is now a legal syntax, to avoid confusion.
1323
1324- If one dhcp server chooses to 'load balance' a request to its failover
1325 peer, it first checks to see if it believes said peer has a free
1326 lease to allocate before ignoring the DISCOVER.
1327
1328- log() was logging a work buffer, rather than the value returned by
1329 executing the statements configured by the user. In some cases,
1330 the work buffer and the intended results were the same. In some other
1331 cases, they were not. This was fixed thanks to a patch from Gunnar
1332 Fjone and directconnect.no.
1333
1334- Compiler warnings for some string type conversions was fixed, thanks
1335 to Andreas Gustafsson.
1336
1337- The netbsd build environments were simplified to one, in which
1338 -Wconversion is not used, thanks to Andreas Gustafsson.
1339
1340- How randomness in the backoff-cutoff dhclient configuration variable
1341 is implemented was better documented in the manpage, and the behaviour
1342 of dhclient in REQUEST timeout handling was changed to match that of
1343 DISCOVER timeout handling.
1344
1345- Omapi was hardened against clients that pass in null values, thanks
1346 to a patch from Mark Jason Dominus.
1347
1348- A bug was fixed in dhclient that kept it from doing client-side
1349 ddns updates. Thanks to a patch from Andreas Gustafsson, which
1350 underwent some modification after review by Jason Vas Dias.
1351
1352- Failover implementations disconnected due to the network between
1353 them (rather than one of the two shutting down) will now try to
1354 re-establish the failover connection every 5 seconds, rather than
1355 to simply try once and give up until one of them is restarted.
1356 Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from Infoblox, and field testing
1357 by Greger V. Teigre which led to an enhancement to it.
1358
1359- A problem that kept DHCP Failover secondaries from tearing down
1360 ddns records was repaired. Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from
1361 Infoblox.
1362
1363- 64bit pointer sizes are detected properly on FreeBSD now.
1364
1365- A bug was repaired where the DHCP server would leave stale references
1366 to host records on leases it once thought about offering to certain
1367 clients. The result would be to apply host and 'known' scopes to the
1368 wrong clients (possibly denying booting). NOTE: The 'mis-host' patch
1369 that was being circulated as a workaround is not the way this bug was
1370 fixed. If you were a victim of this bug in 3.0.1, you are cautioned
1371 to proceed carefully and see if it fixes your problem.
1372
1373- A bug was repaired in the server's DHCPINFORM handling, where it
1374 tried to divine the client's address from the source packet and
1375 would get it wrong. Thanks to Anshuman Singh Rawat.
1376
1377- A log message was introduced to help illuminate the case where the
1378 server was unable to find a lease to assign to any BOOTP client.
1379 Thanks to Daniel Baker.
1380
1381- A minor dhcpd.conf.5 manpage error was fixed.
1382
1383 Changes since 3.0.1rc14
1384
1385- The global variable 'cur_time' was centralized and is now uniformly of a
1386 type #defined in system-dependent headers. It had previously been defined
1387 in one of many places as a 32-bit value, and this causes mayhem on 64-bit
1388 big endian systems. It probably wasn't too healthy on little endian
1389 systems either.
1390
1391- A printf format string error introduced in rc14 was repaired.
1392
1393- AIX system-dependent header file was altered to only define NO_SNPRINTF
1394 if the condition used to #ifdef in vsnprintf in AIX' header files
1395 is false.
1396
1397- The Alpha/OSF system-dependent header file was altered to define
1398 NO_SNPRINTF on OS revisions older than 4.0G.
1399
1400- omapip/test.c had string.h added to its includes.
1401
1402 Changes since 3.0.1rc13
1403
1404! CAN-2004-0460 - CERT VU#317350: Five stack overflow exploits were closed
1405 in logging messages with excessively long hostnames provided by the
1406 clients. It is highly probable that these could have been used by
1407 attackers to gain arbitrary root access on systems using ISC DHCP 3.0.1
1408 release candidates 12 or 13. Special thanks to Gregory Duchemin for
1409 both finding and solving the problem.
1410
1411! CAN-2004-0461 - CERT VU#654390: Once the above was closed, an opening
45d545f0 1412 in log_*() functions was evidenced, on some specific platforms where
98311e4b
DH
1413 vsnprintf() was not believed to be available and calls were wrapped to
1414 sprintf() instead. Again, credit goes to Gregory Duchemin for finding
1415 the problem. Calls to snprintf() are now linked to a distribution-local
1416 snprintf implementation, only in those cases where the architecture is
1417 not known to provide one (see includes/cf/[arch].h). If you experience
1418 linking problems with snprintf/vsnprintf or 'isc_print_' functions, this
1419 is where to look. This vulnerability did not exist in any previously
1420 published version of ISC DHCP.
1421
1422- Compilation on hpux 11.11 was repaired.
1423
1424- 'The cross-compile bug fix' was backed out.
1425
1426 Changes since 3.0.1rc12
1427
1428- Fixed a bug in omapi lease lookup function, to form the hardware
1429 address for the hash lookup correctly, thanks to a patch from
1430 Richard Hirst.
1431
1432- Fixed a bug where dhcrelay was sending relayed responses back to the
1433 broadcast address, but with the source's unicast mac address. Should
1434 now conform to rfc2131 section 4.1.
1435
1436- Cross-compile bug fix; use $(AR) instead of ar. Thanks to Morten Brorup.
1437
1438- Fixed a crash bug in dhclient where dhcpd servers that do not provide
1439 renewal times results in an FPE. As a side effect, dhclient can now
1440 properly handle 0xFFFFFFFF (-1) expiry times supplied by servers. Thanks
1441 to a patch from Burt Silverman.
1442
1443- The 'ping timeout' debugs from rc12 were removed to -DDEBUG only,
45d545f0 1444 and reformatted to correct a compilation error on Solaris platforms.
98311e4b
DH
1445
1446- A patch was applied which fixes a case where leases read from the
1447 leases database do not properly over-ride previously read leases.
1448
1449- dhcpctl.3 manpage was tweaked.
1450
1451 Changes since 3.0.1rc11
1452
1453- A patch from Steve Campbell was applied with minor modifications to
1454 permit reverse dns PTR record updates with values containing spaces.
1455
1456- A patch from Florian Lohoff was applied with some modifications to
1457 dhcrelay. It now discards packets whose hop count exceeds 10 by default,
1458 and a command-line option (-c) can be used to set this threshold.
1459
1460- A failover bug relating to identifying peers by name length instead of
1461 by name was fixed.
1462
45d545f0 1463- Declaring failover configs within shared-network statements should no
98311e4b
DH
1464 longer result in error.
1465
1466- The -nw command line option to dhclient now works.
1467
1468- Thanks to a patch from Michael Richardson:
1469 - Some problems with long option processing have been fixed.
1470 - Some fixes to minires so that updates of KEY records will work.
1471
1472- contrib/ms2isc was updated by Shu-Min Chang of the Intel Corporation.
1473 see contrib/ms2isc/readme.txt for revision notes.
1474
1475- Dhclient no longer uses shell commands to kill another instance of
1476 itself, it sends the signal directly. Thanks to a patch from Martin
1477 Blapp.
1478
1479- The FreeBSD dhclient-script was changed so that a failure to write to
1480 /etc/resolv.conf does not prematurely end the script. This keeps dhclient
1481 from looping infinitely when this is the case. Thanks to a patch from
1482 Martin Blapp.
1483
1484- A patch from Bill Stephens was applied which resolves a problem with lease
1485 expiry times in failover configurations.
1486
1487- A memory leak in configuration parsing was closed thanks to a patch from
1488 Steve G.
1489
1490- The function which discovers interfaces will now skip non-broadcast or
1491 point-to-point interfaces, thanks to a patch from David Brownlee.
1492
1493- Options not yet known by the dhcpd or dhclient have had their names
1494 changed such that they do not contain # symbols, in case they should ever
1495 appear in a lease file. An option that might have been named "#144" is
1496 now "unknown-144".
1497
1498- Another patch from Bill Stephens which allows the ping-check timeout to
1499 be configured as 'ping-timeout'. Defaults to 1.
1500
1501 Changes since 3.0.1rc10
1502
1503- Potential buffer overflows in minires repaired.
1504
1505- A change to the linux client script to use /bin/bash, since /bin/sh may
1506 not be bash.
1507
1508- Some missing va_end cleanups thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
1509
1510- A correction of boolean parsing syntax validation - some illegal syntaxes
1511 that worked before are now detected and produce errs, some legal syntaxes
1512 that errored before will now work properly.
1513
1514- Some search-and-replace errors that caused some options to change their
1515 names was repaired.
1516
1517- Shu-min Chang of the Intel corporation has contributed a perl script and
1518 module that converts the MS NT4 DHCP configuration to a ISC DHCP3
1519 configuration file.
1520
1521- Applied the remainder of the dhcpctl memory leak patch provided by Bill
1522 Squier at ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
1523
1524- Missing non-optional failover peer configurations will now result in a soft
1525 error rather than a null dereference.
1526
1527 Changes since 3.0.1rc9
1528
1529- A format string was corrected to fix compiler warnings.
1530
1531- A number of spelling corrections were made in the man pages.
1532
1533- The dhclient.conf.5 man page was changed to refer to do-forward-updates
1534 rather than a configuration option that doesn't exist.
1535
1536- A FreeBSD-specific bug in the interface removal handling was fixed.
1537
1538- A Linux-specific Token Ring detection problem was fixed.
1539
1540- Hashes removed from as-yet-unknown agent options, having those options
1541 appear in reality before we know about them will no longer produce
1542 self-corrupting lease databases.
1543
1544- dhclient will use the proper port numbers now when using the -g option.
1545
1546- A order-of-operations bug with 2 match clauses in 1 class statement is
1547 fixed thanks to a patch from Andrew Matheson.
1548
1549- Compilation problems on Solaris were fixed.
1550
1551- Compilation problems when built with DEBUG or DEBUG_PACKET were repaired.
1552
1553- A fix to the dhcp ack process which makes certain group options will be
1554 included in the first DHCPOFFER message was made thanks to a patch from
1555 Ling Gou.
1556
1557- A few memory leaks were repaired thanks to patches from Bill Squier at
1558 ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
1559
1560- A fix for shared-networks that sometimes give clients options for the
1561 wrong subnets (in particular, 'option routers') was applied, thanks to
1562 Ted Lemon for the patch.
1563
1564- Omshell's handling of dotted octets as values was changed such that dots
1565 one after the other produce zero values in the integer string.
1566
1567 Changes since 3.0.1rc8
1568
1569- Fix a format string vulnerability in the server that could lead to a
1570 remote root compromise (discovered by NGSEC Research Team, www.ngsec.com).
1571
1572- Add additional support for NetBSD/sparc64.
1573
1574- Fix a bug in the command-line parsing of the client. Also, resolve
1575 a memory leak.
1576
1577- Add better support for shells other than bash in the Linux client
1578 script.
1579
1580- Various build fixes for modern versions of FreeBSD and Linux.
1581
1582- Fix a bad bounds check when printing binding state names.
1583
1584- Clarify documentation about fixed-address and multiple addresses.
1585
1586- Fix a typo in the authoritative error message.
1587
1588- Make a log entry when we can't write a billing class.
1589
1590- Use conversion targets that are the right size on all architectures.
1591
1592- Increment the hop count when relaying.
1593
1594- Log a message when lease state is changed through OMAPI.
1595
1596- Don't rerun the shared_network when evaluating the pool.
1597
1598- Fix a reversed test in the parser.
1599
1600- Change the type of rbuf_max.
1601
1602- Make FTS_LAST a manifest constant to quiet warnings.
1603
1604 Changes since 3.0.1rc7
1605
1606- Fix two compiler warnings that are generated when compiling on Solaris
1607 with gcc. These stop the build, even though they weren't actually
1608 errors, because we prefer that our builds generate no warnings.
1609
1610 Changes since 3.0.1rc6
1611
1612- Don't allow a lease that's in the EXPIRED, RELEASED or RESET state
1613 to be renewed.
1614
1615- Implement lease stealing for cases where the primary has fewer leases
1616 than the secondary, as called for by the standard.
1617
1618- Add a fudge factor to the lease expiry acceptance code, (suggested
1619 by Kevin Miller of CMU).
1620
1621- Fix a bug in permit_list_match that made it much too willing to say
1622 that two permit lists matched.
1623
1624- Unless DEBUG_DNS_UPDATES is defined, print more user-friendly (and
1625 also more compact) messages about DNS updates.
1626
1627- Fix a bug in generating wire-format domain names for the FQDN option.
1628
1629- Fix a bug where the FQDN option would not be returned if the client
1630 requested it, contrary to the standard.
1631
1632- On Darwin, use the FreeBSD DHCP client script.
1633
1634- On NetBSD/sparc, don't check for casting warnings.
1635
1636- Add a flag in the DHCP client to disable updating the client's A
1637 record when sending an FQDN option indicating that the client is
1638 going to update its A record.
1639
1640- In the client, don't attempt a DNS update until one second after
1641 configuring the new IP address, and if the update times out, keep
1642 trying until a response, positive or negative, is received from the
1643 DNS server.
1644
1645- Fix an uninitialized memory bug in the DHCP client.
1646
1647- Apply some FreeBSD-specific bug fixes suggested by Murray Stokely.
1648
1649- Fix a bug in ns_parserr(), where it was returning the wrong sort
1650 of result code in some cases (suggested by Ben Harris of the
1651 NetBSD project).
1652
1653- Fix a bug in is_identifier(), where it was checking against EOF
1654 instead of the END_OF_FILE token (also suggested by Ben Harris).
1655
1656- Fix a bug where if an option universe contained no options, the
1657 DHCP server could dump core (Walter Steiner).
1658
1659- Fix a bug in the handling of encapsulated options.
1660
1661- Fix a bug that prevented NWIP suboptions from being processed.
1662
1663- Delete the FTS_BOOTP and FTS_RESERVED states and implement them
1664 as modifier flags to the FTS_ACTIVE state, as called for in the
1665 failover protocol standard.
1666
1667- Fix bugs in the pool merging code that resulted in references and
1668 dereferences of null pointers. This bug had no impact unless the
1669 POINTER_DEBUG flag was defined.
1670
1671- In the server, added a do-forward-updates flag that can be used to
1672 disable forward updates in all cases, so that sites that want the
1673 clients to take sole responsibility for updating their A record can
1674 do so.
1675
1676- Make it possible to disable optimization of PTR record updates.
1677
1678 Changes since 3.0.1rc5
1679
1680- Include some new documentation and changes provided by Karl Auer.
1681
1682- Add a workaround for some Lexmark printers that send a double-NUL-
1683 terminated host-name option, which would break DNS updates.
1684
1685- Fix an off-by-one error in the MAC-address checking code for
1686 DHCPRELEASE that was added in 3.0.1rc5.
1687
1688- Fix a bug where client-specific information was not being discarded
1689 from the lease when it expired or was released, resulting in
1690 problems if the lease was reallocated to a different client.
1691
1692- If more than one allocation pool is specified that has the same set
1693 of constraints as another allocation pool on the same shared
1694 network, merge the two pools.
1695
1696- Don't print an error in fallback_discard, since this just causes
1697 confusion and does not appear to be helping to encourage anyone to
1698 fix this bug.
1699
1700 Changes since 3.0.1rc4
1701
1702- Fix a bug that would cause the DHCP server to spin if asked to parse
1703 a certain kind of incorrect statement.
1704
1705- Fix a related bug that would prevent an error from being reported in
1706 the same case.
1707
1708- Additional documentation.
1709
1710- Make sure that the hardware address matches the lease when
1711 processing a DHCPRELEASE message.
1712
1713 Changes since 3.0.1rc3
1714
1715- A minor bug fix in the arguments to a logging function call.
1716- Documentation update for dhcpd.conf.
1717
1718 Changes since 3.0.1rc2
1719
1720- Allow the primary to send a POOLREQ message. This isn't what the current
1721 failover draft says to do, so we may have to back it out if I can't get the
1722 authors to relent, but the scheme for balancing that's specified in the
1723 current draft seems needlessly hairy, so I'm floating a trial balloon.
1724 The rc1 code did not implement the method described in the draft either.
1725
1726 Changes since 3.0.1rc1
1727
1728- Treat NXDOMAIN and NXRRSET as success when we are trying to delete a
1729 domain or RRSET. This allows the DHCP server to forget about a name
1730 it added to the DNS once it's been removed, even if the DHCP server
1731 wasn't the one that removed it.
1732
1733- Install defaults for failover maximum outstanding updates and maximum
1734 silent time. This prevents problems that might occur if these values
1735 were not configured.
1736
1737- Don't do DDNS deletes if ddns-update-style is none.
1738
1739- Return relay agent information options in DHCPNAK. This prevents DHCPNAK
1740 messages from being dropped when the relay agent information option contains
1741 routing information.
1742
1743- Fix a problem where coming up in recover wouldn't result in an update
1744 request being sent.
1745
1746- Add some more chatty messages when we start a recovery update and when it's
1747 done.
1748
1749- Fix a possible problem where some state might have been left around
1750 after the peer lost contact and regained contact about how many updates
1751 were pending.
1752
1753- Don't nix a lease update because of a lease conflict. This test has
1754 never (as far as I know) prevented a mistake, and it appears to cause
1755 problems with failover.
1756
1757- Add support in rc history code for keeping a selective history, rather
1758 than a history of all references and dereferences. This code is only used
1759 when extensive additional debugging is enabled.
1760
1761 Changes since 3.0
1762
1763- Make allocators for hash tables. As a side effect, this fixes a memory
1764 smash in the subclass allocation code.
1765
1766- Fix a small bug in omshell where if you try to close an object when
1767 no object is open, it dumps core.
1768
1769- Fix an obscure coredump that could occur on shutdown.
1770
1771- Fix a bug in the recording of host declaration rubouts in the lease file.
1772
1773- Fix two potential spins in the host deletion code.
1774
1775- Fix a core dump that would happen if an application tried to update
1776 a host object attribute with a null value.
1777
1778 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 12
1779
1780- Fix a memory leak in the evaluation code.
1781
1782- Fix an obscure core dump.
1783
1784- Print a couple of new warnings when parsing the configuration file
1785 when crucial information is left out.
1786
1787- Log "no free leases" as an error.
1788
1789- Documentation updates.
1790
1791 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 11
1792
1793- Always return a subnet selection option if one is sent.
1794
1795- Fix a warning that was being printed because an automatic data
1796 structure wasn't zeroed.
1797
1798- Fix some failover state transitions that were being handled
1799 incorrectly.
1800
1801- When supersede_lease is called on a lease whose end time has already
1802 expired, but for which a state transition has not yet been done, do
1803 a state transition. This fixes the case where if the secondary
1804 allocated a lease to a client and the lease "expired" while the
1805 secondary was in partner-down, no expiry event would actually
1806 happen, so the lease would remain active until the primary was
1807 restarted.
1808
1809 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 10
1810
1811- Fix a bug that was preventing released leases from changing state
1812 in failover-enabled pools.
1813
1814- Fix a core dump in the client identifier finder code (for host
1815 declarations).
1816
1817- Finish fixing a bug where bogus data would sometimes get logged to
1818 the dhclient.leases file because it was opened as descriptor 2.
1819
1820- Fix the Linux dhclient-script according to suggestions made by
1821 several people on the dhcp-client mailing list.
1822
1823- Log successful DNS updates at LOG_INFO, not LOG_ERROR.
1824
1825- Print an error message and refuse to run if a failover peer is
1826 defined but not referenced by any pools.
1827
1828- Correct a confusing error message in failover.
1829
eaf0b302
TL
1830 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 9
1831
1832- Fix a bug in lease allocation for Dynamic BOOTP clients.
1833
0db87765
TL
1834 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8 Patchlevel 2
1835
1836- Fix a bug that prevented update-static-leases from working.
1837
1838- Document failover-state OMAPI object.
1839
1840- Fix a compilation error on SunOS 4.
1841
d758ad8c
TL
1842 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8 Patchlevel 1
1843
1844- Fix a parsing bug that broke dns updates (both interim and ad-hoc).
1845 This was introduced in rc8pl1 as an unintended result of the memory
1846 leakage fixes that were in pl1.
1847
1848- Fix a long-standing bug where the server would record that an update
1849 had been done for a client with no name, even though no update had
1850 been done, and then when the client's lease expired the deletion of
1851 that nonexistant record would time out because the name was the null
1852 string.
1853
1854- Clean up the omshell, dhcpctl and omapi man pages a bit.
1855
d758ad8c
TL
1856 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8
1857
1858- Fix a bug that could cause the DHCP server to spin if
1859 one-lease-per-client was enabled.
1860
1861- Fix a bug that was causing core dumps on BSD/os in the presence of
1862 malformed packets.
1863
1864- In partner-down state, don't restrict lease lengths to MCLT.
1865
1866- On the failover secondary, record the MCLT received from the primary
1867 so that if we come up without a connection to the primary we don't
1868 wind up giving out zero-length leases.
1869
1870- Fix some compilation problems on BSD/os.
1871
1872- Fix a bunch of memory leaks.
1873
1874- Fix a couple of bugs in the option printer.
1875
1876- Fix an obscure error reporting bug in the dns update code, and also
1877 make the message clearer when a key algorithm isn't supported.
1878
1879- Fix a bug in the tracing code that prevented trace runs that used
1880 tcp connections from being played back.
1881
1882- Add some additional debugging capability for catching memory leaks
1883 on exit.
1884
1885- Make the client release the lease correctly on shutdown.
1886
1887- Add some configurability to the build system.
1888
1889- Install omshell manual page in man1, not man8.
1890
1891- Craig Gwydir sent in a patch that fixes a long-standing bug in the
1892 DHCP client that could cause core dumps, but that for some reason
1893 hadn't been noticed until now.
1894
1895 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 7
1896
1897- Fix a bug in failover where we weren't sending updates after a
1898 transition from communications-interrupted to normal.
1899
1900- Handle expired/released/reset -> free transition according to the
1901 protocol specification (this works - the other way not only wasn't
1902 conformant, but also didn't work).
1903
1904- Add a control object in both client and server that allows either
1905 daemon to be shut down cleanly.
1906
1907- When writing a lease, if we run out of disk space, shut down the
1908 output file and insist on writing a new one before proceeding.
1909
1910- In the server, if the OMAPI listener port is occupied, keep trying
1911 to get it, rather than simply giving up and exiting.
1912
1913- Support fetching variables from leases and also updating and adding
1914 variables to leases via OMAPI.
1915
1916- If two failover peers have wildly different clocks, refuse to start
1917 doing failover.
1918
1919- Fix a bug in the DNS update code that could cause core dumps when
1920 running on alpha processors.

1930 that most DHCP client users probably will not be able to use).
1931
1932- Somewhat cleaner status logging in the client.
1933
1934- Make OMAPI key naming syntax compatible with the way keys are
1935 actually named (key names are domain names).
1936
1937- Fix a bug in the lease file writer.
1938
1939- Install DHCP ISC headers in a different place than BIND 9 ISC
1940 headers, to avoid causing trouble in BIND 9 builds.
1941
1942- Don't send updates for attributes on an object when the attributes
1943 haven't changed. Support deleting attributes on remote objects.
1944
1945- Fix a number of bugs in omshell, and add the unset and refresh
1946 statements.
1947
1948- Handle disconnects in OMAPI a little bit more intelligently (so that
1949 the caller gets ECONNRESET instead of EINVAL).
1950

1952 leases when the try to renew their leases while failover is
1953 operating.

1955 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 6
1956
1957- Fix a core dump that could happen when processing a DHCPREQUEST from
1958 a client that had a host declaration that contained both a
1959 fixed-address declaration and a dhcp-client-identifier option
1960 declaration, if the client identifier was longer than nine bytes.

1963 using omapi to manipulate leases.

1971 chains from having their reference counts decreased on dereference.
1972

1974 chains from being freed upon removal of the last reference external
1975 to the chain.
1976
1977- Fix a number of other memory leaks in the OMAPI protocol subsystem.

1993 DHCPDECLINE.

1995- Fix failover peer OMAPI support.
1996

1998 leases would never be reclaimed because they couldn't make the
1999 transition from EXPIRED to FREE.

2006 stashing code that was preventing REBINDING clients from rebinding.
2007

2053 committed to be consistent with lease binding states rather than
98311e4b 2054 using the lease end time. This may fix some problems with the
892fe689

2055 billing class code.
2056

2058 others) because malloc was called with a size of zero.

TL
2065- Fix the dhcp_failover_put_message to not attempt to allocate a
2066 zero-length buffer. Some versions of malloc() fail if you try to
2067 allocate a zero-length buffer, and this was causing problems on,
2068 e.g., Digital Unix.
2069
2070- Fix a case where the failover code was printing an error message
2071 when no error had occurred.
2072
2073- Fix a problem where when a server went down and back up again, the
2074 peer would not see a state transition and so would stay in the
2075 non-communicating state.
2076
2077- Be smart about going into recover_wait.
2078
2079- Fix a problem in the failover implementation where peers would fail
2080 to come into sync if interrupted in the RECOVER state. This could
2081 have been the cause of some problems people have reported recently.
2082
2083- Fix a problem with billing classes where they would not be unbilled
2084 when the client lease expired.
2085
2086- If select fails, figure out which descriptor is bad, and cut it out
2087 of the I/O loop. This prevents a potentially nasty spin. I
2088 haven't heard any report it in a while, but it came up consistently
2089 in testing.
2090
2091- Fix a bug in the relay agent where if you specified interfaces on
2092 the command line, it would fail.
2093
2094- Fix a couple of small bugs in the omapi connection object (no known
2095 user impact).
2096
2097- Add the missing 3.0 Beta 1 lease conversion script.
2098

2100 they're executable.

2115 a new release candidate is expected shortly.

2123 work, so that failover should now much less fragile.

2142 checked. This may have been causing core dumps.
2143
2144- When parsing the lease file, if a lease declaration includes a
2145 billing class statement, and the lease already has a billing class,
2146 unbill the old class.
2147
2148- When processing failover transactions, where acks will be deferred,
2149 process the state transition immediately.
2150
2151- Don't try to use the new SIOCGIFCONF buffer size detection code on
2152 Linux 2.0, which doesn't provide this functionality.
2153
2154- Apply a patch suggested by Tuan Uong for a problem in dlpi.c.
2155
2156- Fix a problem in using the which command in the configure script.
2157
2158- Fix a parse error in the client when setting up an omapi listener.
2159
2160- Document the -n and -g flags to the client.
2161
2162- Make sure there is always a stdin and stdout on startup. This
2163 prevents shell scripts from accidentally writing error messages into
2164 configuration files that happen to be opened as stderr.
2165
2166- If an interface is removed, the client will now notice that it is
2167 gone rather than spinning. This has only been tested on NetBSD.
2168
2169- The client will attempt to get an address even if it can't create a
2170 lease file.
2171
2172- Don't overwrite tracefiles.
2173
2174- Fix some memory allocation bugs in failover.

2192 pl19.
2193

2195 previous fix only partially fixed the problem - enough to get it
2196 past the regression test.

2214- Allow the server to be placed in partner-down state using OMAPI.
2215 (Damien Neil)
2216
2217- Implement omshell, which can be used to do arbitrary things to the
2218 server (in theory). (Damien Neil)
2219
2220- Fix a case where if a client had two different leases the server could
2221 actually dereference the second one when it hadn't been referenced,
2222 leading to memory corruption and a core dump. (James Brister)
2223
2224- Fix a case where a client could request the address of another client's
2225 lease, but find_lease wouldn't detect that the other client had it, and
2226 would attempt to allocate it to the client, resulting in a lease conflict
2227 message.
2228
2229- Fix a case where a client with more than one client identifier could be
2230 given a lease where the hardware address was correct but the client
2231 identifier was not, resulting in a lease conflict message.
2232
98311e4b 2233- Fix a problem where the server could write out a colon-separated
3350f5b7
TL
2234 hex list as a value for a variable, which would then not parse.
2235 The fix is to always write strings as quoted strings, with any
2236 non-printable characters quoted as octal escape sequences. So
2237 a file written the old way still won't work, but new files written
2238 this way will work.
2239

TL
2240- Fix documentation for sending non-standard options.
2241
2242- Use unparsable names for unknown options. WARNING: this will
2243 break any configuration files that use the option-nnn convention.
2244 If you want to continue to use this convention for some options,
2245 please be sure to write a definition, like this:
2246
2247 option option-nnn code nnn = string;
2248
2249 You can use a descriptive name instead of option-nnn if you like.
2250
2251- Fix a problem where we would see a DHCPDISCOVER/DHCPOFFER/
2252 DHCPREQUEST/DHCPACK/DHCPREQUEST/DHCPNAK sequence. This was the
2253 result of a deceptively silly bug in supersede_lease.
2254
2255- Fix client script exit status check, according to a fix supplied by
2256 Hermann Lauer.

2259 messages.

2268- Add support for transaction tracing. This allows the state of the
2269 DHCP server on startup, and all the subsequent transactions, to be
2270 recorded in a file which can then be played back to reproduce the
2271 behaviour of the DHCP server. This can be used to quickly
2272 reproduce bugs that cause core dumps or corruption, and also for
2273 tracking down memory leaks.
2274
2275- Incorporate some bug fixes provided by Joost Mulders for the DLPI
2276 package which should clear up problems people have been seeing on
2277 Solaris.
2278
2279- Fix bugs in the handling of options stored as linked lists (agent
2280 options, fqdn options and nwip options) that could cause memory
2281 corruption and core dumps.
2282
2283- Fix a bug in DHCPREQUEST handling that resulted in DHCPNAK messages
2284 not being send in some cases when they were needed.
2285
2286- Make the lease structure somewhat more compact.
2287
2288- Make initial failover startup *much* faster. This was researched
2289 and implemented by Damien Neil.

2291- Add a --version flag to all executables, which prints the program
2292 name and version to standard output.

2330- Finish fixing a long-standing bug in the agent options code. This
2331 was causing core dumps and failing to operate correctly - in
2332 particular, agent option stashing wasn't working. Agent option
2333 stashing should now be working, meaning that agent options can be
2334 used in class statements to control address allocation.
2335

2339 significantly in a high-demand situation.
2340

2342
2343- Fix a compile error on some older operating systems.
2344
2345- Add the ability in the client to execute certain statements before
2346 transmitting packets to the server. Handy for debugging; not much
2347 practical use otherwise.
2348
2349- Don't send faked-out giaddr when renewing or bound - again, useful
2350 for debugging.

2355 an option with an (unsigned) negative length, resulting in a core
2356 dump on some systems.
2357
2358- Work around the Win98 DHCP client, which NUL-terminates the FQDN
2359 option.
2360
2361- Work around Win98 and Win2k clients that will claim they want to do
2362 the update even when they don't have any way to do it.
2363
2364- Fix some log messages that can be printed when failover is operating
2365 that were not printing enough information.
2366
2367- It was possible for a DHCPDISCOVER to get an allocation even when
2368 the state machine said the server shouldn't be responding.
2369
2370- Don't load balance DHCPREQUESTs from clients in RENEWING and
2371 REBINDING, since in RENEWING, if we heard it, it's for us, and in
2372 REBINDING, the client wouldn't have got to REBINDING if its primary
2373 were answering.

2385- Albert Herranz tracked down and fixed a subtle bug in the base64
2386 decoder that would prevent any key with an 'x' in its base64
2387 representation from working correctly.
2388
2389- Thanks to Chris Cheney and Michael Sanders, we have a fix for the
2390 hang that they both spotted in the DHCP server - when
2391 one-lease-per-client was set, the code to release the "other" lease
2392 could spin.
2393
2394- Fix a problem with alignment of the input buffer in bpf in cases
2395 where two packets arrive in the same bpf read.
2396
2397- Fix a problem where the relay agent would crash if you specified an
2398 interface name on the command line.
2399
2400- Add the ability to conditionalize client behaviour based on the
2401 client state.
2402
2403- Add support for the FQDN option, and added support for a new way of
2404 doing ddns updates (ddns update style interim) that allows more than
2405 one DHCP server to update the DNS for the same network(s). This
2406 was implemented by Damien Neil with some additional functionality
2407 added by Ted Lemon.
2408
2409- Damien added a "log" statement, so that the configuration file can
2410 be made to log debugging information and other information.
2411
2412- Fixed a bug that caused option buffers not to be terminated with an
2413 end option.
2414
2415- Fixed a long-standing bug in the support for option spaces where the
2416 options are stored as an ordered list rather than in a hash table,
2417 which could theoretically result in memory pool corruption.
2418
2419- Prevent hardware declarations with no actual hardware address from
2420 being written as something unparsable, and behave correctly in the
2421 face of a null hardware address on input.
2422
2423- Allow key names to be FQDNs, and qualify the algorithm name if it is
2424 specified unqualified.
2425
2426- Modify the DDNS update code so that it never prints the "resolver
2427 failed" message, but instead says *why* the resolver failed.
2428
2429- Officially support the subnet selection option, which now has an
2430 RFC.
2431
2432- Fix a build bug on MacOS X.
2433

2440
2441- Fix a bug introduced during debugging (!) and accidentally committed
2442 to CVS.

2444 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 9
2445
2446- Fix DHCP client handling of vendor encapsulated options.
2447
2448- Fix a bug in the handling of relay agent information options introduced
2449 in patchlevel 9.
2450
2451- Stash agent options on client leases by default, and use the stashed
2452 options at renewal time.
2453
2454- Add the ability to test the client's binding state in the client
2455 configuration language.
2456
2457- Fix a core dump in the DNS update code.
2458
2459- Fix some expression evaluation bugs that were causing updates to be
2460 done when no client hostname was received.
2461
2462- Fix expression evaluation debugging printfs.
2463
2464- Teach pretty_print_option to print options in option spaces other than
2465 the DHCP option space.
2466
2467- Add a warning message if the RHS of a not is not boolean.
2468
2469- Never select for more than a day, because some implementations of
2470 select will just fail if the timeout is too long (!).
2471
2472- Fix a case where a DHCPDISCOVER from an unknown network would be
2473 silently dropped.
2474
2475- Fix a bug where if a client requested an IP address for which a different
2476 client had the lease, the DHCP server would reallocate it anyway.
2477
2478- Fix the DNS update code so that if the client changes its name, the DNS
2479 will be correctly updated.

2481 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 8
2482
2483- Oops, there was another subtle math error in the header-length
2484 bounds-checking.

2487
2488- Oops, forgot to byte-swap udp header length before bounds-checking it.

TL
2492- Fix a possible DoS attack where a client could cause the checksummer
2493 to dump core. This was a read, not a write, so it shouldn't be
2494 possible to exploit it any further than that.
2495
2496- Implement client- and server-side support for using the Client FQDN
2497 option.
2498
2499- Support for other option spaces in the client has been added. This
2500 means that it is now possible to define a vendor option space on the
2501 client, request options in that space from the server (which must
2502 define the same option space), and then use those options in the
2503 client. This also allows NWIP and Client FQDN options to be used
2504 meaningfully.
2505
2506- Add object initializer support. This means that objects can now be
2507 initialized to something other than all-zeros when allocated, which
2508 makes, e.g., the interface object support code a little more robust.
2509
2510- Fix an off-by-one bug in the host stuffer. This was causing host
2511 deletes not the work, and may also have been causing OMAPI
2512 connections to get dropped. Thanks to James Brister for tracking
2513 this one down!
2514
2515- Fixed a core dump in the interface discovery code that is triggered
2516 when there is no subnet declaration for an interface, but the server
2517 decides to continue running. Thanks to Shane Kerr for tracking
2518 down and fixing this problem.
2519
2520 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 5
2521

TL
2522- Fix a bug in the recent enhancement to the interface discovery code
2523 to support arbitrary-length interface lists.
2524
2525- Support NUL-terminated DHCP options when initializing client-script
2526 environment.
2527
2528- Fix suffix operator.
2529
2530- Fix NetWare/IP option parsing.
2531
2532- Better error/status checking in dhcpctl initialization and omapi
2533 connection code.
2534
2535- Fix a potential memory smash in dhcpctl code.
2536
2537- Fix SunOS4 and (maybe) Ultrix builds.
2538
2539- Fix a bug where a certain sort of incoming packet could cause a core
2540 dump on Solaris (and probably elsewhere).
2541
2542- Add some more safety checks in error logging code.
2543
2544- Add support for ISC_R_INCOMPLETE in OMAPI protocol connection code.
2545
2546- Fix relay agent so that if an interface is specified on the command
2547 line, the relay agent does not dump core.
2548
2549- Fix class matching so that match if can be combined with match or
2550 spawn with.
2551
2552- Do not allow spurious leases in the lease database to introduce
2553 potentially bogus leases into the in-memory database.
2554
2555- Fix a byte-order problem in the client hardware address type code
2556 for OMAPI.
2557
2558- Be slightly less picky about what sort of hardware addresses OMAPI
2559 can install in host declarations.

2561 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 4
2562
2563- Incorporated Peter Marschall's proposed change to array/record
2564 parsing, which allows things like the slp-agent option to be encoded
2565 correctly. Thanks very much to Peter for taking the initiative to
2566 do this, and for doing such a careful job of it (e.g., updating the
2567 comments)!
2568
2569- Added an encoding for the slp-agent option. :')

TL
2571- Fixed SunOS 4 build. Thanks to Robert Elz for responding to my
2572 request for help on this with patches!
2573
2574- Incorporated a change that should fix a problem reported by Philippe
2575 Jumelle where when the network connection between two servers is
2576 lost, they never reconnect.
2577
2578- Fix client script files other than that for NetBSD to actually use
2579 make_resolv_conf as documented in the manual page.
2580
2581- Fix a bug in the packet handling code that could result in a core
2582 dump.
2583
2584- Fix a bug in the bootp code where responses on the local net would
2585 be sent to the wrong MAC address. Thanks to Jerry Schave for
2586 catching this one.

TL
2588 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 3
2589
2590- In the DHCP client, execute client statements prior to using the values
45d545f0 2591 of options, so that the client configuration can overridden, e.g., the
490eb5e7
TL
2592 lease renewal time.
2593
2594- Fix a reference counting error that would result in very reproducible
2595 failures in updates, as well as occasional core dumps, if a zone was
2596 declared without a key.
2597
2598- Fix some Linux 2.0 compilation problems.
2599
2600- Fix a bug in scope evaluation during execution of "on" statements that
2601 caused values not to be recorded on leases.
2602
2603- If the dhcp-max-message-size option is specified in scope, and the
2604 client didn't send this option, use the one specified in scope to
2605 determine the maximum size of the response.

TL
2612- Fix a case where the DHCP server might inappropriately NAK a
2613 RENEWING client.
2614
2615- Fix a place dhcprequest() where static leases could leak.
2616
2617- Include memory.h in omapip_p.h so that we don't get warnings about
2618 using memcmp().

2620 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 1
2621
2622- Notice when SIOCFIGCONF returns more data than fit in the buffer -
2623 allocate a larger buffer, and retry. Thanks to Greg Fausak for
2624 pointing this out.
2625
2626- In the server, if no interfaces were configured, report an error and
2627 exit.
2628
2629- Don't ever record a state of 'startup'.
2630
2631- Don't try to evaluate the local failover binding address if none was
2632 specified. Thanks to Joseph Breu for finding this.
