d618ba48 41 Changes since 4.3.0 (new features)
1e08558f 42
0ee00c5b
SR
43- Insert the raw data from a fully encapsualted option into the option cache.
44 This allows "exists" to check for the option if any sub options exist. It
45 also adds the raw data to the environment variables supplied to the client
46 script.
47 [ISC-Bugs #39863]
48
a53c9bf2
FD
49- Pass configure arguments which begin with an upper case letter, e.g.
50 CFLAGS, to the embedded bind configure, so it is no longer required
51 to use environment variables to get the same effect.
52 [ISC-Bugs #35143]
53
81f844d2
FD
54- Added --enable-kqueue, --enable-epoll, --enable-devpoll and a more
55 general --with-bind-extra-config to pass extra options to the
56 embedded bind configure. Note we had mixed experiences with this
54ee18cf 57 so it is at the user risk, i.e., they are NOT SUPPORTED yet.
f285576d 58 [ISC-Bugs #20890]
81f844d2 59
53c7a535
FD
60- Changed the way the embedded bind Makefile is updated by configure.
61 The only user visible side effect is that --with-libbind now requires
62 either "no" or an (absolute) path, i.e. "yes" is no longer valid.
63 [ISC-Bugs #43227]
64
d163c8f7
TM
65- Added the support for git repositories in the util/bind.sh script.
66 When you build ISC DHCP from a git repo, i.e., without a "bind"
67 directory populated as in the release distribution file, you may now
4b914743
FD
68 create the bind directory, change to it and clone the private
69 (repo.isc.org/proj/git/prod/bind9.git) or the public
290a7613 70 (https://source.isc.org/git/bind9.git) git repository into
d163c8f7 71 bind/bind9 and then invoke the util/bind.sh script as usual.
c4ea4af0
FD
72 Note this option is incompatible with "make dist" (and make "distcheck")
73 because no bind/bind.tar.gz nor bind/version.tmp files are available.
4b914743
FD
74 [ISC-Bugs #43236]
75
e94e7f23
FD
76- Use the embedded bind libraries where they are built (vs where they
77 are installed).
78 [ISC-Bugs #39319]
79
a1372bbe
FD
80- Use last version (9.11) of plain embedded bind libraries in place of
81 older (9.9) version of export bind libraries.
82 [ISC-Bugs #43215]
83
5a2e8c37 84- Using "make distcheck" now works with external bind libraries (aka
c4ea4af0
FD
85 configure --with-libbind).
86 [ISC-Bugs #43285]
87
3210786b
TM
88- The server now allows the client identifier (option 61) to own leases
89 in more than one subnet concurrently. Prior to this the server would
90 incorrectly release an existing lease in one subnet prior to assigning
91 a lease in another subnet. Note that the prior behavior can be still
92 be achieved by enabling one-lease-per-client. Thanks to both David Zych at
93 the University of Illinois and Norm Proffitt of Infoblox for reporting
94 the issue; and Norm for suggesting a solution.
95 [ISC-Bugs #41358]
96
f9741514
FD
97- Added --enable-bind-install to install embedded bind includes and
98 libraries. Default is to not install them (it was the previous
99 behavior). If you'd like to change the includedir and/or libdir
5a67b030
FD
100 installation directories to something different than for ISC DHCP
101 you must pass them using the --with-bind-extra-config configuration
102 arguments.
f9741514
FD
103 [ISC-Bugs #39318]
104
007ba82a
FD
105- Added support of dynamic shared libraries with libtool. A new
106 --enable-libtool configuration parameter is available but
107 should not be used directly: *please* read the build configuration
108 section in the README file for the recommended procedure.
109 [ISC-Bugs #29402]
110
417b7b4a
TM
111- IPv6 operation now supports an EUI-64 based address allocation which will
112 calculate addresses for clients with EUI-64 DUIDs based on those DUIDs when
113 enabled by setting use-eui-64 true. The parameter may defined down to the
114 pool scope. Note this feature must be compiled in by defining EUI_64 in
115 includes/site.h. This flag is undefined by default.
116 [ISC-Bugs #43927]
117
c8f0b32a
MS
118- Added new compile time option --with-srv-conf-file which specifies a
119 default location of the server configuration file.
120 [ISC-Bugs #44765]
121
a68ec967
MS
122- Added --dad-wait-time parameter to dhclient. It specifies the maximum time,
123 in seconds, that the client process should wait for the duplicate address
124 detection to complete before initiating DHCP requests. This value is
125 propagated to the dhclient script and the script is responsible for waiting
126 the specified amount of time or until DAD has completed. If the script does
127 not support it, specifying this parameter has no effect. The default value
128 is 0 which specifies that the script should not wait for DAD. With this
129 change the following scripts have been modified to support the new parameter:
130 freebsd, linux, macos, netbsd, openbsd.
131 [ISC-Bugs #36169]
132
251bb4b9 133- Modified DDNS support initialization such that DNS related ports will only be
ca22af89
TM
134 opened by the server (dhcpd) at startup if ddns-update-style is not "none";
135 by dhclient only if and when the it first attempts an update; and never by
136 dhcrelay. Prior to this all three always did the initialization at startup
137 which causes them to always open on and listen for traffic on two random
ff343a30 138 ports. Thanks to Rodney Beede for reporting the issue.
ca22af89
TM
139 [ISC-Bugs #45290]
140 [ISC-Bugs #33377]
141
8c785e79
TM
142- Added error logging to two memory allocation failure checks. Thanks to Bill
143 Parker (wp02855 at gmail dot com) for reporting the issue.
144 [ISC-Bugs #41185]
145
251bb4b9 146- Corrected a dhclient -6 issue that caused the client to crash with an
147 "Impossible condition" error after de-preferencing its only IA binding.
148 The crash occurred when server configuration changes rendered the existing
01bfe9c5
TM
149 binding out-of-range and no other leases were available to offer. Thanks
150 to Pierre Clerissi for bringing this issue to our attention.
251bb4b9 151 [ISC-Bugs #44373]
152
5c03ed37 153- By defining CALL_SCRIPT_ON_ONETRY_FAIL in includes/site.h, dhclient will
154 now call the script with reason set to FAIL when run with -1 (one try) and
155 there are no server responses. This applies to IPv4 mode only. Thanks for a
156 patch by Martin Pitt which got to us via Andrew Pollock.
a489cc48
TM
157 [ISC-bugs #18183]
158
6573afff 159- Linux script updated. The script is now based on Debian version. It uses
fbe81d8e
TM
160 ip tool from iproute2 package and ifconfig is no longer used. This also
161 addresses an issue of calling arping with inappropriate parameter.
6573afff 162 [ISC-bugs #19430]
fbe81d8e 163 [ISC-bugs #18111]
6573afff 164
30afd7db 165- The directory minires has been removed from the source tree. It has
c1beb003 166 long been obsolete for branches other than v4_1_esv. Additionally,
30afd7db
TM
167 includes/minires.h was renamed includes/ns_name.h.
168 [ISC-bugs #45471]
169
b3e6fd51
TM
170- The directory includes/isc-dhcp and it's only occupant, dst.h, have
171 been removed from the source tree. They are obsolete for branches
172 other than v4_1_esv.
173 [ISC-bugs #45541]
174
7512d88b
TM
175- Replaced ISC licensing with Mozilla Public License, MPL 2.0 licensing
176 throughout. Please see https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/MPL/2.0/ to read
177 the MPL 2.0 license terms.
178 [ISC-Bugs #45541]
179
3e985dbf
TM
180- Load balancing for failover peers can now be disabled by setting
181 "load balance max secs" to 0. Doing so for both peers means both
182 servers will respond to all DHCPDISCOVERs or DHCPREQUESTs as soon as
183 they are received.
184 [ISC-Bugs #39669]
185
c0e9661e
TM
186- Added a new dhclient command line parameter, --prefix-len-hint <length>.
187 When used in conjunction with -P, it directs dhclient to use the given
8e219746
TM
188 length as the prefix length hint when requesting prefixes. Thanks to
189 H. Peter Anvin for suggesting this change.
3e88222f
TM
190 [ISC-Bugs #43792]
191 [ISC-Bugs #35112]
192 [ISC-Bugs #32228]
193 [ISC-Bugs #29470]
194
195- dhclient will now wait for 10 seconds after declining an IPv4 address
196 before issuing a discover. This is in keeping with RFC 2131, section 3.1.5.
197 Prior to this dhclient did not wait at all. The amount of time dhclient
198 waits can be specified via a new command line parameter:
199 --decline-wait-time <seconds>. A value of zero equates to no wait at all.
ecf9f77b 200 Thanks to Pavel Kankovsky for bringing this matter to our attention.
3e88222f 201 [ISC-Bugs #45457]
c0e9661e 202
83f1dd95
TM
203- Corrected dhclient command line parsing for --dad-wait-time that causes
204 even valid values to fail as invalid on some environments.
205 [ISC-Bugs #46535]

273 When asked for the version don't send the output to syslog.
274 [ISC-Bugs #29772]
275 Add the next server information to the environment variables for
276 use by the client script. In order to avoid changing the client
277 lease file the next server information isn't written to it.
278 Thanks to Tomas Hozza at Red Hat for the suggestion and a prototype fix.
279 [ISC-Bugs #33098]
21f3982a 280
d618ba48
SR
281- Several updates to the dhcp server code.
282 When not in quiet mode print out the files being used.
283 [ISC-Bugs #17551]
284 As accessing some pid files may require privileges move the dropping
285 of permission bits due to the paranoia patch to be after the pid code.
286 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the bug report and fix.
287 [ISC-Bugs #25806]

289 to syslog.
33dca28a 290
d618ba48
SR
291- Add the "enable-log-pid" build option to the configure script. When enabled
292 this causes the client, server and relay programs to include the PID
293 number in syslog messages.
294 Thanks to Marius Tomaschewski for the suggestion and proto-patch.
295 [ISC-Bugs #29713]
33dca28a 296
d618ba48
SR
297- Add a #define to specify the prefix length used when a client attempts
298 to configure an address. This can be modified by editing includes/site.h.
299 By default it is set to 64. While 128 might be a better choice it would
300 also be a change for currently running systems, so we have left it at 64.
301 [ISC-Bugs #DHCP-2]
7da1ac2b 302
d618ba48
SR
303- Add a run time option to the client "-df" to allow the administrator to
304 point to a second lease file the client can search for a DUID. This can
305 be used to allow a v4 and a v6 instance of the client to share a DUID.
306 The second file will only be searched if there isn't a DUID in the main
307 lease file and the DUID will be written out to the main lease file.
308 [ISC-Bugs #34886]
e82906fc 309
d618ba48
SR
310- Have the client fsync the lease file to avoid lease corruption if the

319 process to start up even if the resolv.conf file has problems.
320 [ISC-Bugs #35989]
88c3ff5d 321
d618ba48
SR
322- Add threshold logging functionality. Two new options,
323 log-threshold-low and log-threshold-high, indicate to the
324 server if and when it should log an error message as addresses
325 in a pool are used.
326 [ISC-Bugs #34487]

383- Remove unneeded error #defines. These defines were included in case
384 external programs required the older versions of the macro. They
385 have been #ifdeffed for now and will be removed at a future date.
386 See site.h for the #define to include them again, but you should
387 switch to using the DHCP_R_* versions instead of the ISC_R_* versions.
388 Also ISC_R_MULTIPLE has been removed as it is also defined in bind.

SR
400- Addressed checksum issues:
401 Added checksum readiness check to Linux packet filtering which eliminates

415- Added the echo-client-id configuration parameter to the server configuration.
416 The server now supports RFC 6842 compliant behavior by setting a new
417 configuration parameter, echo-client-id. When enabled, the server will
418 include the client identifier option (Option code 61) if received, in its
419 responses. The server identifier returned in NAKs (if enabled) will now
420 be the globally defined value (if one) if the server cannot attribute the
421 inbound request to a known subnet.

469- Added the server-id-check parameter to the server configuration.
470 This parameter allows run-time control over whether or not a server,
471 participating in failover, verifies the dhcp-server-identifier option in
472 DHCP REQUESTs against the server's id before processing the request.
473 Formerly, enabling this behavior was done at compilation time through
474 the use of the #define, SERVER_ID_CHECK, which has been removed from site.h
475 The functionality is now only available through the new runtime parameter.

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

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

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

566 message. Note well: the server pre-allocates v4 addresses, if you use
567 a large range, such as a /8, the server will attempt to use a large
568 amount of memory and may not start if there either isn't enough memory

572- The server will now reject unicast Request, Renew, Decline, and Release
573 messages from a client unless the server would have sent that client the
574 dhcp6.unicast option. This behavior is in compliance with paragraph 1 in
575 each of the sections 18.2,1, 18.2.3, 18.2.6, and 18.2.7 of RFC 3315. Prior
576 to this, the server would simply accept the messages. Now, in order for
577 the server to accept such a message, the server configuration must include
578 the dhcp6.unicast option either globally or within the shared network to
579 which the requested lease belongs. In other words, the server will map
580 the first IA_XX address found within the client message to a shared-network
581 and look for the presence of the unicast option there and then globally.

733- Unit test execution now uses a path augmented during configuration
734 processing of the --with-atf option to locate ATF runtime tools, atf-run
735 and atf-report. For most installations of ATF, this should alleviate the
736 need to manually include them in the PATH, as was formerly required.
737 If the configure script cannot locate the tools it will emit a warning,
738 informing the user that the tools must be in the PATH when running unit
739 tests.
740 Secondly, please note that "make check" will now exit with a failure status
741 code (non-zero) if one or more unit tests fail. This means that invoking
742 "make check" from an upper level directory will cause the make process to
743 STOP after the first test subdirectory with failed test(s). To force all

SR
1185
1186- If a client renews before 'dhcp-cache-threshold' percent of its lease
1187 has elapsed (default 25%), the server will reuse the allocated lease
1188 (provide a lease within the currently allocated lease-time) rather
1189 than extend or renew the lease. This absolves the server of needing
1190 to perform an fsync() operation on the lease database before reply,
1191 which improves performance. [ISC-Bugs #22228]
80778e94 1192 Updated this patch to support asynchronous DDNS. If the server is
adb95d23 1193 attempting to do DDNS on a lease it should be updated and written to

1207- Add a perl script in the contrib directory, dhcp-lease-list.pl, which

1220- Update the DDNS code to current standards and allow for sharing
1221 of DDNS entries between v4 and v6 clients. The new code is used
1222 if the ddns-update-style is set to "standard", the older code is
1223 still available if ddns-update-style is set to "interim". The
1224 oldest DDNS code "ad-hoc" has been removed. Thanks to Thomas Pegeot

SR
1229- Add a configuration option to the server to suppress using fsync().
1230 Enabling this option will mean that fsync() is never called. This
1231 may provide better performance but there is also a risk that a lease
1232 will not be properly written to the disk after it has been issued
1233 to a client and before the server stops. Using this option is
1234 not recommended.

1237- Add some logging statements to indicate when the server is ready
1238 to serve. One statement is emitted after the server has finished
1239 reading its files and is about to enter the dispatch loop.
1240 This is "Server starting service.".
1241 The second is emitted when a server determines that both it and
1242 its failover peer are in the normal state.

80778e94 1255 to find a reasonable nameserver via a DNS resolver. This restores
e54ff84f
SR
1256 some functionality that was lost in the transition to asynchronous
1257 DDNS. Due to the lack of security and increase in fragility of the
1258 system when using this feature we strongly recommend the use of
1259 appropriate zone statements rather than using this functionality.

SR
1262- Add support for specifying the address from which to send
1263 DDNS updates on the DHCP server. There are two new options

7dc4e69c 1301
01a44a77
SR
1302- An optimization described in the failover protocol draft is now included,
1303 which permits a DHCP server operating in communications-interrupted state
1304 to 'rewind' a lease to the state most recently transmitted to its peer,
1305 greatly increasing a server's endurance in communications-interrupted.
1306 This is supported using a new 'rewind state' record on the dhcpd.leases
1307 entry for each lease.
c5bc8b1a 1308
01a44a77 1309- Fix the trace code which was broken by the changes to the DDNS code.
d0a10f6a 1310
01a44a77
SR
1311- Update the fsync code to work with the changes to the DDNS code. It now
1312 uses a timer instead of noticing if there are no more packets to process.
dc9d7b08 1313
01a44a77
SR
1314- When constructing the DNS name structure from a text string append
1315 the root to relative names. This satisfies a requirement in the DNS
1316 library that names be absolute instead of relative and prevents DHCP
1317 from crashing. [ISC-Bugs #21054]

01a44a77
SR
1319- "The LDAP Patch" that has been circulating for some time, written by
1320 Brian Masney and S.Kalyanasundraram and maintained for application to
1321 the DHCP-4 sources by David Cantrell has been included. Please be
1322 advised that these sources were contributed, and do not yet meet the
1323 high standards we place on production sources we include by default.
1324 As a result, the LDAP features are only included by using a compile-time
1325 option which defaults off, and if you enable it you do so under your
1326 own recognizance. We will be improving this software over time.

1340 we would try and clean up before exiting. This could present problems
1341 when the cleanup required part of the context that wasn't available. It
1342 also didn't do much as we exited afterwards anyway. Now we simply log
1343 the error and exit. [ISC-Bugs #21093]

SR
1345- A bug was fixed that could cause the DHCPv6 server to advertise/assign a
1346 previously allocated (active) lease to a client that has changed subnets,
1347 despite being on different shared networks. Dynamic prefixes specifically
1348 allocated in shared networks also now are not offered if the client has
1349 moved. [ISC-Bugs #21152]

1357 The user may still configure the ttl via ddns-ttl. The default for
1358 both v4 and v6 is now 1/2 the (preferred) lease time with a limit. The
1359 previous defaults (1/2 lease time without a limit for v4 and a default

1563- 'dhclient' no longer waits a random interval after first starting up to
1564 begin in the INIT state. This conforms to RFC 2131, but elects not to
9a111ee8 1565 implement a 'SHOULD' direction in section 4.1. The goal of this change
73c83820 1566 is to start up faster. [ISC-Bugs #19660]
9a111ee8
TM
1567
1568- Added 'initial-delay' parameter that specifies maximum amount of time
1569 before client goes to the INIT state. The default value is 0. In previous
1570 versions of the code client could wait up to 5 seconds. The old behavior
5d082abd 1571 may be restored by using 'initial-delay 5;' in the client config file.

1573
1574- ICMP ping-check should now sit closer to precisely the number of seconds
1575 configured (or default 1), due to making use of the new microsecond
1576 scale timer internally to dhcpd. This corrects a bug where the server
1577 may immediately timeout an ICMP ping-check if it was made late in the
73c83820 1578 current second. [ISC-Bugs #19660]
5d082abd
TM
1579
1580- The DHCP client will schedule renewal and rebinding events in
1581 microseconds if the DHCP server provided a lease-time that would result
1582 in sub-1-second timers. This corrects a bug where a 2-second or lower
1583 lease-time would cause the DHCP client to enter an infinite loop by
73c83820 1584 scheduling renewal at zero seconds. [ISC-Bugs #19660]
5d082abd

1585
1586- Client lease records are recorded at most once every 15 seconds. This

1589
1590- To defend against RFC 2131 non-compliant DHCP servers which fail to
1591 advertise a lease-time (either mangled, or zero in value) the DHCP
1592 client now adds the server to the reject list ACL and returns to INIT
1593 state to hopefully find an RFC 2131 compliant server (or retry in INIT
73c83820 1594 forever). [ISC-Bugs #19660]

1604- The DHCP server now responds to DHCPLEASEQUERY messages from agents using
1605 IP addresses not covered by a subnet in configuration. Whether or not to
1606 respond to such an agent is still governed by the 'allow leasequery;'
1607 configuration parameter, in the case of an agent not covered by a configured
1608 subnet the root configuration area is examined. Server now also returns
1609 vendor-class-id option, if client sent it. [ISC-Bugs #21094]

1828! Previously the server code was relaxed to allow packets with zero
1829 length client ids to be processed. Under some situations use of
1830 zero length client ids can cause the server to go into an infinite
1831 loop. As such ids are not valid according to RFC 2132 section 9.14
1832 the server no longer accepts them. Client ids with a length of 1
1833 are also invalid but the server still accepts them in order to
1834 minimize disruption. The restriction will likely be tightened in
1835 the future to disallow ids with a length of 1.

2011- A new failover configuration parameter has been introduced for those
2012 environments where DHCP servers can be reasonably guaranteed to be
2013 "down" when the failover TCP socket is severed, "auto-partner-down".
2014 This parameter is not generally safe, and by default is disabled, so
2015 please carefully review the documentation of this parameter in the
2016 dhcpd.conf(5) manpage before determining to use it yourself.

2018- Added a configuration function, 'gethostname()', which calls the system
2019 function of the same name and presents the results as a data expression.
2020 This function can be used to incorporate the system level hostname of
2021 the system the DHCP software is operating on in responses or queries (such
2022 as including a failover partner's hostname in a dhcp message or binding
2023 scope, or having a DHCP client send any system hostname in the host-name or
2024 FQDN options by default).

2077- A bug in DLPI packet transmission (Solaris, HP/UX) that caused the server
2078 to stop receiving packets is fixed. The same fix also means that the MAC
2079 address will no longer appear 'bogus' on DLPI-based systems.
2080
2081- A bug in select handling was discovered where the results of one select()
2082 call were discarded, causing the server to process the next select() call
2083 and use more system calls than required. This has been repaired - the
2084 sockets will be handled after the first return from select(), resulting in
2085 fewer system calls.
2086

DH
2087- The update-conflict-detection feature would leave an FQDN updated without
2088 a DHCID (still currently implemented as a TXT RR). This would cause later
2089 expiration or release events to fail to remove the domain name. The feature
2090 now also inserts the client's up to date DHCID record, so records may safely
2091 be removed at expiration or release time. Thanks to a patch submitted by
2092 Christof Chen.

2094- Memory leak in the load_balance_mine() function is fixed. This would
2095 leak ~20-30 octets per DHCPDISCOVER packet while failover was in use

2120 timeouts).

DH
2144- Secondary servers in a failover pair will now perform ddns removals if
2145 they had performed ddns updates on a lease that is expiring, or was
2146 released through the primary. As part of the same fix, stale binding scopes
2147 will now be removed if a change in identity of a lease's active client is
2148 detected, rather than simply if a lease is noticed to have expired (which it
2149 may have expired without a failover server noticing in some situations).
2150

DH
2151- A patch supplied by David Cantrell at RedHat was applied that detects
2152 invalid calling parameters given to the ns_name_ntop() function.

2154 that causes the pointer to integer-wrap past zero.

DH
2162- Both host and subnet6 configuration groups are now included whether a
2163 fixed-address6 (DHCPv6) is in use or not. Host scoped configuration takes
2164 precedence. This fixes two bugs, one where host scoped configuration
2165 would not be included from a non-fixed-address6 host record, and the equal
2166 and opposite bug where subnet6 scoped configuration would not be used when
571c38b0 2167 over-riding values were not present in a matching fixed-address6 host

SR
2173- Modified the handling of a connection to avoid releasing the omapi io
2174 object for the connection while it is still in use. One symptom from
2175 this error was a segfault when a failover secondary attempted to connect
2176 to the failover primary if their clocks were not synchronized.

2178- Clean up to allow compilation with gcc 2.95.4 on FreeBSD. Remove an
2179 extra semi-colon from common/dns.c and moved setting a variable to NULL

2287- A bug in subnet6 parsing where options contained in subnet6 clauses would
2288 not be applied to clients addressed within that network was repaired.
2289
2290- When configuring a "subnet {}" or "subnet6 {}" without an explicit
2291 shared-network enclosing it, the DHCP software would synthesize a
2292 shared-network to contain the subnet. However, all configuration
2293 parameters within the subnet more intuitively belong "to any client
2294 on that interface", or rather the synthesized shared-network. So,
2295 when a shared-network is synthesized, it is used to contain the
2296 configuration present inside the subnet {} clause. This means that
2297 the configuration will be valid for all clients on that network, not
2298 just those addressed out of the stated subnet. If you intended the
2299 opposite, the workaround is to explicitly configure an empty
2300 shared-network.
2301
2302- A bug was fixed where Information-Request processing was not sourcing
2303 configured option values.

2336- It's now possible to update the "ends" field of a lease with OMAPI.
2337 This is useful if you want not only to release a lease, but also make
2338 it available for reuse right away. Hat tip to Christof Chen.
2339
9a111ee8 2340- Fixed definition of the iaaddr hash functions to use the correct
1dcc3612
SK
2341 functions when referencing and dereferencing memory.
2342
aabfa4de
FD
2343- Some definitions not in phase with the IANA registry were updated.
2344
0674055a
FD
2345- Allocated interface IDs are better controlled ('u' bit set to zero,
2346 reserved IDs avoided).
2347
b51c785f
FD
2348- Unicast options are taken into account only for RENEWs.
2349
900405e9
FD
2350- NoAddrsAvail answers to SOLICITs are always ADVERTISEs even when a SOLICIT
2351 carries a rapid-commit option.
2352
96b620e5
FD
2353- Return in place of raise an impossible condition when one tries to release
2354 an empty active lease.

FD
2356- Timer granularity is now 1/100s in the DHCPv6 client.
2357
01a54c17
EH
2358- The dhclient-script was updated to create a host route for the default
2359 gateway if the supplied subnet mask for an IPv4 address was a /32. This
2360 allows the client to work in 'captive' network environments, where the
2361 operator does not want clients to crosstalk directly.
2362
adb95d23 2363- MINUS tokens should be parsable again.
01a54c17
EH
2364
2365- Multiple (up to "delayed-ack x;" maximum) DHCPv4 packets are now queued and
2366 released in bursts after single fsync() events when the upper limit is
2367 reached or if the receiving sockets go dry. The practical upshot is
2368 that fsync-coupled server performance is now multiplicitively increased.
2369 The default delayed ack limit is 28. Thanks entirely to a patch from
2370 Christof Chen.
2371
2372 Changes since 4.0.0 (bug fixes)
2373
2374- DHCP now builds on AIX.
2375
2376- Exit with warning when DHCPv6-specific statements are used in the
2377 config file but -6 is not specified.
2378
2379- Fixed "--version" flag in dhcrelay
2380
2381- The 'min-secs' configuration parameter's log message has been updated to
2382 be more helpful.
2383
2384- The warning logged when an address range doesn't fit in the subnets
2385 they were declared has been updated to be more helpful and identify the
2386 typo in configuration that created the spanning addresses.
2387
2388- A bug in failover pool rebalancing that caused POOLREQ message ping-pongs
2389 was repaired.
2390
2391- A flaw in failover pool rebalancing that could cause POOLREQ messages to
2392 be sent outside of the min-balance/max-balance scheduled intervals has
2393 been repaired.
2394
2395- A cosmetic bug during potential-conflict recovery that caused the peer's
2396 'conflict-done' state message to be logged as 'unknown-state' has been
2397 repaired. It is now logged correctly.
2398
49f61135
DH
2399- A bug was fixed where the 'giaddr' may be used to find the client's subnet
2400 rather than its own 'ciaddr'.
2401
41d4652f
DH
2402- A log message was introduced to clarify the situation where a failover
2403 'address' parameter (the server's local address) did not resolve to an
2404 IPv4 address.
2405
2c9bf1f4
DH
2406- The minimum site code value was set to 224 in 3.1.0 to track RFC3942. This
2407 broke a lot of legacy site local configurations. The new code in place will
2408 track site local space minimum option codes and logs a warning to encourage
2409 updates and exploration of site local code migration problems. Option
2410 codes less than 128 in site local spaces remain inaccessible.
2411
2412- A possible relay agent option bug was repaired where random server
2413 initialization state may have been used to signal the relay agent
2414 information options sub-option code for the 'END' of the option space.
2415
cff9b78f
SK
2416- Fixes to allow code to compile and run on Solaris 9.
2417
c4d29896
SK
2418- Fixes to allow code to compile on Mac OS X Leopard (10.5).
2419
57fcb8d9
SK
2420- When server is configured with options that it overrides, a warning is
2421 issued when the configuration file is read, rather than at the time the
2422 option is overridden. This was important, because the warning was given
9a111ee8 2423 every time the option was overridden, which could create a lot of
57fcb8d9
SK
2424 unnecessary logging.
2425
219a65eb
DH
2426- Fixed a compilation problems on platforms that define a value for FDDI,
2427 which conflicts with a dhcp configuration syntax token by the same name.
2428
ffdf3c8c
DH
2429- When a failover server suspects it has encountered a peer running a
2430 version 3.0.x failover server, a warning that the failover wire protocol
2431 is incompatible is printed.
2432
2433- The failover server no longer issues a floating point error if it encounters
2434 a previously undefined option code.
2435
00a002fc
MA
2436- Fix startup error messages to report a missing "subnet6 declaration", rather
2437 than a missing "subnet declaration", when running as a DHCPv6 server.
2438
9a111ee8 2439- DHCPv6 client timestamp in DUID was based on the year 1970 rather
7e9f7a1b
FD
2440 than the year 2000.
2441
e2cfde76

DH
2448 Changes since 4.0.0b3
2449
2450- The reverse dns name for PTR updates on IPv6 addresses has been fixed to
2451 use ip6.arpa. rather than default to in-addr.arpa and require user
2452 configuration.
76db44f9 2453
e32529a5
EH
2454- dhc6_lease_destroy() and dhc6_ia_destroy() now set lease and IA pointers
2455 to NULL after freeing, to prevent subsequent accesses to freed memory.
2456
9a111ee8 2457- The DHCPv6 server would not send the preference option unless the
76db44f9
SK
2458 client requested it, via the ORO. This has been fixed, so the DHCPv6
2459 server will always send the preference value if it is configured.
e4a6be15 2460
9a111ee8
TM
2461- When addresses were passed as hints to the server in an IA, they were
2462 incorrectly handled, sometimes being treated as an error. Now the
6f76de58
SK
2463 server will treat these as hints and ignore them if it cannot supply
2464 a requested address.
2465
703873ab
DH
2466- If the client had multiple addresses, and one expired (was not renewed
2467 by the server), the client would continue to attempt to renew the same
2468 old address over and over. Now, the client will omit any expired
2469 addresses from future Confirm, Renew, or Rebind messages.
2470
2471- dhclient -6 will now select renew/rebind timers based upon the longest
2472 address expiration time rather than the shortest expiration time, in
2473 order to avoid cascading renewals in the event a server elects not to
2474 extend one of multiple IAADDR leases.
2475
b024480e
DH
2476- The server now limits clients that request multiple addresses to one
2477 address per IA by default, which can be adjusted through the
2478 "limit-addrs-per-ia" configuration option.
2479
c0216cb7
DH
2480- The DHCPv6 client now issues fresh transaction IDs on Renew and Rebind
2481 message exchanges, rather than using the most recent ID.

2486 codes through some conditions.

2488- The parsing of some options in the dhclient lease file, in particular
2489 the success DHCPv6 status-code, was fixed.

2491- A bug was fixed that caused the DHCPv6 ORO option to be corrupted with
2492 seemingly random values.

DH
2494- A reference overleak in DHCPv6 shared network processing was repaired.

f8b3c6f4
DH
2496- ./configure now autodetects local database locations rather than trying
2497 to put dhcpd.leases and dhclient.leases in /usr/local/var/db, which no
2498 one ever has.
2499
9a111ee8
TM
2500- Regression fix for bug where server advertised a IPv6 address in
2501 response to a SOLICIT but would not return the address in response
b9137d42
SK
2502 to a REQUEST.

9f1d5a2f
DH
2504- A bug was fixed where the DHCPv6 server puts the NoAddrsAvail status
2505 code in the IA_NA was fixed. The status code now appears in the root
2506 level.

EH
2510- Clarified error message when lease limit exceeded
2511
b1d3778c
DH
2512- Relative time may now be used as a qualifier for 'allow' and 'deny' access
2513 control lists. These directives may be used to assist in re-addressing
2514 address pools without having to constantly reconfigure the server. Please
2515 see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more information on allow/deny 'after time' syntax.
2516 Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen.
2517
bead14ea
DH
2518- The server will now include multiple IA_NA's and multiple IAADDRs within
2519 them, if advertised by the client. It still only seeks to allocate one
2520 new address.
2521
f765ec36
SK
2522 Changes since 4.0.0b1
2523
75135a3f 2524- Use different paths for PID and lease files when running in DHCPv4
adb95d23 2525 or DHCPv6 mode, so that servers for both protocols can be run
75135a3f
EH
2526 simultaneously on a single interface.
2527
5c2d55c7
EH
2528- Fixed a buffer overflow error which could have allowed a denial
2529 of service under unusual server configurations
2530
2531- Eliminated a spurious error message from the client
2532
9a111ee8 2533- A number of bugs with the internal handling of lease state on the
f765ec36 2534 server have been fixed. Some of these could cause server crashes.
fa9b593d 2535
edb1283e
DH
2536- The peer_wants_leases() changes pulled up from 3.1.0 were corrected,
2537 'never used' leases will no longer consistently shift between servers
2538 on every pool rebalance run.

2543- The client leasing subsystem was streamlined and corrected to account
2544 more closely for changes in client link attachment selection.

9a111ee8 2548- The DHCP server no longer requires a "ddns-update-style" statement,
884a458f
SK
2549 and now defaults to "none", which means DNS updates are disabled.

fa9b593d
DH
2551- Log messages when failover peer names mismatch have been improved to
2552 point out the problem.

9a111ee8 2554- Bug where server advertised a IPv6 address in response to a SOLICIT
1b5053b5
SK

eaf7eb17
DH
2561- Fixed a ./configure bug where compile tests were failing due to
2562 "-Werror" (unused variable) rather than the actual test failure. Lead
2563 to inconsistent and unworkable auto-configurations.

3ad9d48f
SK
2568 fixed by Marcus Goller.

DH
2570- DHCPv6 server Confirm message processing has been enhanced - it no
2571 longer replies only to clients with host {} records, it now replies
2572 as directed in RFC3315 section 18.2.2 - that is, to all clients
2573 regardless of the existence of bindings.

DH
2575- A core dump during expired lease cleanup has been repaired.
2576
7285af30
DH
2577- DDNS updates state information are now stored in 'binding scopes' that
2578 follow the leases through their lifecycles. This enables DDNS teardowns
2579 on leases that are assigned and expired inbetween a server restart (the
2580 state is recovered from dhcpd.leases). Arbitrary user-specified binding
2581 scopes ('set var = "value";') are not yet supported.

2606 the DHCPv6 client configuration. 'send dhcp6.oro' is no longer
2607 necessary.

f66f02cc
DH
2672 header files to include it (fixes a BSD 4.2 compile failure).
2673

a512d11b 2675
4ba58919
DH
2676- DHCPv4 I/O methods that failed to sense hardware address were corrected.
2677
2678- DHCPv4 is now the default (as documented) rather than DHCPv6. The default
2679 was set to DHCPv6 to facilitate ease early development, and forgotten.
2680
2681- Corrected a segmentation violation in DHCPv4 socket processing.
2682
8ea19a71 2683- dhclient will now fork() into the background once it binds to an

98bd7ca0
DH
2695 Changes since 3.1.0 (NEW FEATURES)
2696
2697- DHCPv6 Client and Server protocol support. Use '-6' to run the daemons
2698 as v6-only. Use '-4' to run the daemons as v4-only (default. There is
2699 no support currently for both.
2700
2701- Server support for multiple IA_NA options, containing at most one
2702 IAADDR option.
2703
2704- Client support for one IA_NA option, containing any number of IAADDR
2705 options.
2706
2707- Server support for the DHCPv6 Information-request message.
2708
2709- Inappropriate unicast DHCPv6 messages sent to the server are now
2710 discarded, and this has rearchitected the IO system slightly.
2711
2712- The DHCPv6 server DUID defaults to type 1, is persistently stored in
2713 the leases database, and can be over-ridden (either completely, or by
2714 specifying type 1 or type 2).
2715
2716- The server only uses Rapid-Commit if it has been configured with the
2717 Rapid-Commit option and the client requests it.
2718
2719- DDNS support. We now update AAAA records in the same place we would
2720 update A records, if we have an IPv6 address. We also generate IP6.ARPA
2721 style names for PTR records if we're dealing with an IPv6 address. Both
2722 A and AAAA updates are done using the same 'fqdn.' virtual option space
2723 (although the DHCPv4 FQDN and DHCPv6 FQDN options are formatted
2724 differently, they both use the same code here).
2725
2726- The Linux dhclient-script attempts to set and remove assigned addresses,
2727 and to configure /etc/resolv.conf from nameserver and domain name
2728 configurations. It can be extended to configure other parameters.
2729
2730- Initial DHCPv6 lease support.
2731
2732- The IO system now tracks all local IP addresses, so that the DHCP
2733 applications (particularly the dhcrelay) can discern between what frames
2734 were transmitted to it, and what frames are being carried through it which
2735 it should not intercept.
2736

DH
2737 Changes since 3.1.0 (Maintenance)
2738

2740 mapped to the primary. Virgin leases now have an interleaved preference
2741 between primary and secondary.
2742
2743- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for clients with no client
2744 identifier was sometimes mishashed to the peer. Load balancing during
2745 runtime and pool rebalancing were opposing.

e9c59645
DH
2749- The subnet-mask option inclusion now conforms with RFC2132 section 3.3;
2750 it will only appear prior to the routers option if it is present on the
2751 Parameter-Request-List. The subnet-mask option will also only be
2752 included by default (if it is not on the PRL) in response to DISCOVER
2753 or REQUEST messages.
2754
2755- The FQDN option is only supplied if the client supplied an FQDN option or
2756 if the FQDN option was explicitly requested on the PRL.

DH
2760 Changes since 3.1.0rc1
2761
adb95d23 2762- The parse warning that 'deny dynamic bootp;' must be configured for
b9d0cc05
DH
2763 failover protected subnets was removed.
2764
a512cc3a
DH
2765 Changes since 3.1.0b2
2766
2767- Failover rebalance events no longer play ping pong with round errors
2768 (moving leases between free and back to backup where there are an
2769 odd number of leases).
2770
2771- The 'pool' log line has been split into two messages, one before the
2772 rebalance run, and one after.
2773
2774- Any queued BNDACKs are transmitted before transmitting new BNDUPDs.
2775 This enforces the correct sequence of events for the remote server
2776 processing these messages.
2777
fe5b0fdd 2778 Changes since 3.1.0b1
27837f95 2779
74dc3e0b
EH
2780- Fixed a bug that caused OMAPI clients to freeze when opening lease
2781 objects.
2782
1ba87b37
EH
2783- A new server config option "fqdn-reply" specifies whether the server
2784 should send out option 81 (FQDN). Defaults to "on". If set to "off",
2785 the FQDN option is not sent, even if the client requested it. This is
2786 needed because some clients misbehave otherwise. Thanks to Christof Chen
2787 at Allianz.
2788
a58da042
EH
2789- Allow trace output files (-tf option) to be overwritten, rather than
2790 crashing dhcpd if the file already exists
2791
61252edf
EH
2792- A bug was fixed that caused dhcpd to segfault if a pool was declared
2793 outside the scope of a subnet in dhcpd.conf.
2794
27837f95
DH
2795- Some uninitialized values were repaired in dhcpleasequery.c that
2796 caused the server to abort.
2797
4d2eaafb
DH
2798- A new server config option, 'do-reverse-updates', has been added
2799 which causes the server to abstain from performing updates on PTR
2800 records. Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen at Allianz.
2801
06211b40
DH
2802- A bug was repaired in subencapsulation support, where spaces separated
2803 by empty spaces would not get included.
2804
d6614ea2
DH
2805- A bug in dhclient was repaired which caused it to send parameter request
2806 lists of 55 bytes in length no matter how long the declared PRL was.
2807
132d38f2
DH
2808- 'dhcp.c(3953): non-null pointer' has been repaired. This fixes a flaw
2809 wherein the DHCPv4 server may ignore a configured server-identifier.
2810
fc3b9c90
DH
2811- A flaw in failover startup sequences was repaired that sometimes left
2812 the primary DHCP server's pool rebalance schedules unscheduled.
2813
c9feb859
DH
2814- Corrected a flaw that broke encapsulated spaces included due to presence
2815 on the parameter request list.
2816
c57db45c
SK
2817 Changes since 3.1.0a3
2818
2819- Some spelling fixes.
98311e4b 2820
bd2bc2fa
DH
2821 Changes since 3.1.0a2
2822
2823- A bug was fixed where attempting to permit leasequeries results in a
2824 fatal internal error, "Unable to find server option 49".
2825
85edef5c
DH
2826- A bug was fixed in dhclient rendering the textual output form of the
2827 domain-search option syntax.
2828
bdddcb7d
DH
2829 Changes since 3.1.0a1
2830
2831- A bug in the FQDN universe that added FQDN codes to the NWIP universe's
2832 hash table was repaired.
2833
616d67cb
DH
2834- The servers now try harder to transmit pending binding updates when
2835 entering normal state.
2836
2837- UPDREQ/UPDREQALL handling was optimized - it no longer dequeues and
2838 requeues all pending updates. This should reduce the number of spurious
66c8f734
DH
2839 'xid mismatch' log messages.
2840
2841- An option definition referencing leak was fixed, which resulted in early
2842 termination of dhclient upon the renewal event.
616d67cb 2843
6708d944
DH
2844- Some default hash table sizes were tweaked, some upwards, some downwards.
2845 3.1.0a1's tables resulted in a reduction in default server memory use.
2846 The new selected values provide more of a zero sum (increasing the size
2847 of tables likely to be populated, decreasing the size of tables unlikely).
2848
45d545f0 2849- Lease structures appear in three separate hashes: by IP address, by UID,
6708d944
DH
2850 and by hardware address. One type of table was used for all three, and
2851 improvements to IP address hashing were applied to all three (so UID and
2852 hardware addresses were treated like 4-byte integers). There are now two
2853 types of tables, and the uid/hw hashes use functions more appropriate
2854 to their needs.
2855
2856- The max-lease-misbalance percentage no longer causes scheduled rebalance
2857 runs to be skipped: it still governs the schedule, but every scheduled
2858 run will attempt balance.
2859
a7ee93fe
DH
2860- A segfault bug in recursive encapsulation support has been corrected.
2861
98311e4b
DH
2862 Changes since 3.0 (New Features)
2863
2864- A workaround for certain STSN servers that send a mangled domain-name
2865 option was introduced for dhclient. The client will now accept corrupted
2866 server responses, if they contain a valid DHCP_MESSAGE_TYPE (OFFER, ACK,
2867 or NAK). The server will continue to not accept corrupt client packets.
2868
98bd7ca0 2869- Support for 'reserved' (pseudo-static) and BOOTP leases via failover
a55ccdd0 2870 was introduced.
98311e4b
DH
2871
2872- Support for adding, removing, and managing class and subclass statements
2873 via OMAPI.
2874
a55ccdd0
DH
2875- The failover implementation was updated to comply with revision 12 of
2876 the protocol draft.
2877
98311e4b
DH
2878- 'make install' now creates the initial zero-length dhcpd.leases file if
2879 one does not already exist on the system.
2880
b43c87ad 2881- RFC3942 compliance, site-local option spaces start at 224 now, not 128.
b43c87ad 2882
0b17f049
DH
2883- The Load Balance Algorithm was misimplemented. The current implementation
2884 matches RFC 3074.
2885
2727c1cf
DH
2886- lcase() and ucase() configuration expressions have been added which adjust
2887 their arguments from upper to lower and lower to upper cases respectively.
2714a8ef 2888 Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
2727c1cf 2889
febbd402
DH
2890- The dhclient 'reject ...;' statement, which rejects leases given by named
2891 server-identifiers, now permits address ranges to be specified in CIDR
7d7073e7 2892 notation. Thanks to a patch from David Boyce.
febbd402 2893
ee912528
DH
2894- The subnet-mask option is now supplied by default, but at lowest
2895 priority. This helps a small minority of clients that provide parameter
2896 request lists, but do not list the subnet-mask option because they were
2897 designed to interoperate with a server that behaves in this manner.
2898
2899- The FQDN option is similarly supplied even if it does not appear on the
2900 parameter request list, but not to the exclusion of options that do
2901 appear at the parameter request list. Up until now it had ultimate
2902 priority over the client's parameter request list.
2903
f7fdb216 2904- Varying option space code and length bit widths (8/16/32) are now
51202707 2905 supported. This is a milestone in achieving RFC 3925 "VIVSO" and
f7fdb216
DH
2906 DHCPv6 support.
2907
5e864416
DH
2908- A new common (server or client) option, 'db-time-format local;', has
2909 been added which prints the local time in /var/db/dhcpd.leases rather
2910 than UTC. Thanks to a patch from Ken Lalonde.
2911
b500bd4c
DH
2912- Some patches to improve DHCP Server startup speed from Andrew Matheson
2913 have been incorporated.
2914
2426234f
DH
2915- Failover pairs now implement 'MAC Affinity' on leases moving from the
2916 active to free states. Leases that belonged to the failover secondary
2917 are moved to BACKUP state rather than FREE upon exiting EXPIRED state.
2918 If lease rebalancing must move leases, it tries first to move leases
2919 that belong to the peer in need.
2920
2921- The server no longer sends POOLREQ messages unless the pool is severely
2922 misbalanced in the peer's favor (see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more details).
2923
2924- Pool rebalance events no longer happen upon successfully allocating a
2925 lease. Instead, they happen on a schedule. See 'man dhcpd.conf' for the
2926 min-balance and max-balance statements for more information.
2927
334bf491
DH
2928- The DHCP Relay Agent Information Option / Link Selection Sub-Option
2929 is now supported. (See RFC3527 for details).
2930
3004bebf
DH
2931- A new DDNS related server option, update-conflict-detection, has been
2932 added. If this option is enabled, dhcpd will perform normal DHCID
2933 conflict resolution (the default). If this option is disabled, it will
2934 instead trust the assigned name implicitly (removing any other bindings
2935 on that name). This option has not been made available in dhclient.
2936
567e8561
DH
2937- In those cases where the DHCP software manufactures an IP header (to
2938 transmit via bpf, lpf, etc), the IP TTL the software selects has been
2939 increased from 16 to 128. This is intended to match Microsoft Windows
2940 DHCP Client behaviour, to increase compatibility.
2941
a396d25f
DH
2942- 'ignore client-updates;' now has behaviour that is different from
2943 'deny client-updates;'. The client's request is not truly ignored,
2944 rather it is encouraged. Should this value be configured, the server
2945 updates DNS as though client-updates were set to 'deny'. That is, it
2946 enters into DNS whatever it is configured to do already, provided it is
2947 configured to. Then it sends a response to the client that lets the
2948 client believe it is performing client updates (which it will), probably
2949 for a different name. In essence, this lets the client do as it will,
2950 ignoring this aspect of their request.
2951
dba5803b
DH
2952- Support for compressed 'domain name list' style DHCP option contents, and
2953 in particular the domain search option (#119) was added.
2954
41e45067 2955- The DHCP LEASEQUERY protocol as defined in RFC4388 is now implemented.
6d103865
SK
2956 LEASEQUERY lets you query the DHCP server for information about a lease,
2957 using either an IP address, MAC address, or client identifier. Thanks
2958 to a patch from Justin Haddad.
2959
41e45067
DH
2960- DHCPD is now RFC2131 section 4.1 compliant (broadcast to all-ones ip and
2961 ethernet mac address) on the SCO platform specifically without any strange
2962 ifconfig hacks. Many thanks go to the Kroger Co. for donating the
2963 hardware and funding the development.
6d103865 2964
b543fea9
DH
2965- A new common configuration executable statement, execute(), has been
2966 added. This permits dhcpd or dhclient to execute a named external
2967 program with command line arguments specified from other configuration
2968 language. Thanks to a patch written by Mattias Ronnblom, gotten to us
2969 via Robin Breathe.
2970
b22de500
DH
2971- A new dhcp server option 'adaptive-lease-time-threshold' has been added
2972 which causes the server to substantially reduce lease-times if there are
2973 few (configured percentage) remaining leases. Thanks to a patch submitted
2974 from Christof Chen.
2975
96bbe8c5
SK
2976- Encapsulated option spaces within encapsulated option spaces is now
2977 formally supported.
2978
b8221d95
DH
2979 Changes since 3.0.6rc1
2980
2981- supersede_lease() now requeues leases in their respective hardware
2982 address hash bucket. This mirrors client identifier behaviour.
2983
c1e6c832
DH
2984 Changes since 3.0.5
2985
f546c28b
DH
2986- Assorted fixes for broken network devices: Packet length is now
2987 determined from the IP header length field to finally calculate the
2988 UDP payload length, because some NIC drivers return more data than
5a22eb63 2989 they actually received.
f546c28b
DH
2990
2991- UDP packets are now stored in aligned data structures.
2992
c1e6c832
DH
2993- A logic error in omapi interface code was repaired that might result in
2994 incorrectly indicating 'up' state when any flags were set, rather than
23e10d37
DH
2995 specifically the INTERFACE_REQUESTED flag. Thanks to a patch from
2996 Jochen Voss which got to us via Andrew Pollock at Debian.
c1e6c832 2997
75ab3070
DH
2998- A reference leak on binding scopes set by ddns updates was repaired.
2999
d69fb6a8 3000- A memory leak in the minires_nsendsigned() function call was repaired.
23e10d37 3001 Effectively, this leaked ~176 bytes per DDNS update.
d69fb6a8 3002
02428754
DH
3003- In the case where an "L2" DHCP Relay Agent (one that does not set giaddr)
3004 was directly attached to the same broadcast domain as the DHCP server,
3005 the RFC3046 relay agent information option was not being returned to the
3006 relay in the server's replies. This was fixed; the dhcp server no longer
3007 requires the giaddr to reply with relay agent information. Note that
3008 this also improves compatibility with L2 devices that "intercept" DHCP
3009 packets and expect relay agent information even in unicast (renewal)
23e10d37
DH
3010 replies. Thanks to a patch from Pekka Silvonen.
3011
3012- A bug was fixed where the BOOTP header 'sname' field had a value, the
3013 copy written to persistent storage was actually the contents of the
3014 'file' field.
02428754 3015
ecde99a3
DH
3016- A bug was fixed where the nwip virtual option space was referencing
3017 the fqdn option's virtual option space's option cache.
3018
67674ffb
DH
3019- Timestamp parsing errors that indicated missing "minutes" fields rather
3020 than the actually missing "seconds" fields have been repaired thanks to
3021 a patch from Kevin Steves.
3022
830ebc4c
DH
3023- A grammar error in the dhclient.8 manpage was repaired thanks to a patch
3024 from Chris Wagner.
3025
c759db75
DH
3026- Several spelling typos were repaired, and some cross-references to other
3027 relevant documents were included in the manpages, thanks to a patch
3028 by Andrew Pollock which got to us via Tomas Pospisek.
3029
9aa3f3a5
DH
3030- Some bugs were fixed in the 'emergency relay agent options hologram'
3031 which is used to retain relay agent option contents from when the
3032 client was in INIT or REBIND states. This should solve problems where
3033 relay agent options were not echoed from the server, even when giaddr
3034 was set.
3035
3d0c598a
DH
3036- dhclient now closes its descriptor to dhclient.leases prior to executing
3037 dhclient-script. Thanks to a patch from Tomas Pospisek.
3038
d5b6835f
DH
3039- The server's "by client-id" and "by hardware address" hash table lists
3040 are now sorted according to the preference to re-allocate that lease to
3041 returning clients. This should eliminate pool starvation problems
3042 arising when "INIT" clients were given new leases rather than presently
3043 active ones.
3044
02428754 3045 Changes since 3.0.5rc1
0a73b7b6 3046
901306d5 3047- A bug was repaired in fixes to the dhclient, which sought to run the
0a73b7b6
SK
3048 dhclient-script with the 'EXPIRE' state should it receive a NAK in
3049 response to a REQUEST. The client now iterates the PREINIT state
3050 after the EXPIRE state, so that interfaces that might be configured
3051 'down' can be brought back 'up' and initialized.
3052
87a08ccc
DH
3053- DHCPINFORM handling for clients that properly set ciaddr and come to the
3054 server via a relay aget has been repaired.
3055
6da113fb
DH
3056 Changes since 3.0.4
3057
3058- A warning that host statements declared within subnet or shared-network
3059 scopes are actually global has been added.
3060
3061- The default minimum lease time (if min-lease-time was not specified)
3062 was raised from 0 to 300. 0 is not thought to be sensible, and is
3063 known to be damaging.
3064
3065- Added additional fatal error sanity checks surrounding lease binding
3066 state count calculations (free/active counts used for failover pool
3067 balancing).
3068
dcc557db
DH
3069- Some time value size fixes in 3.0.4 brought on from FreeBSD /usr/ports were
3070 misapplied to server values rather than client values. The server no longer
3071 advertises 8-byte lease-time options when on 64-bit platforms.
3072
1b2ab55f
DH
3073- A bug where leases not in ACTIVE state would get billed to billed classes
3074 (classes with lease limitations) was fixed. Non-active leases OFFERed
3075 to clients are no longer billed (but billing is checked before offering).
3076
e48891e8
DH
3077- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated in regard to the ddns-domainname
3078 configuration option - the default configuration and results should be
3079 more clear now.
3080
6cbc6629
DH
3081- If the dhclient were to receive a DHCPNAK while it was in the RENEW
3082 state (and consequently, had an active, 'bound' address and related
3083 configuration options), it would fail to 'tear down' this information
3084 before proceeding into INIT state. dhclient now iterates the dhclient-
3085 script with the 'EXPIRE' action to cause these teardowns prior to entering
1d3bfb17 3086 INIT state. Thanks to a patch from Chris Zimmerman.
6cbc6629 3087
c5fec5fa
DH
3088- The omapi.1 manpage had some formatting errors repaired thanks to a patch
3089 from Yoshihiko Sarumaru.
3090
33e1cb2b
DH
3091- A few lines of code that were failover-specific were moved within
3092 #if defined() clauses so that compilation without failover could be
3093 made possible.
3094
2bddf829
DH
3095- The log message emitted when the 'leased-address' value was not available
3096 in dhcpd.conf "executable statements" has been updated to be more helpful.
3097 Manpage information for this value has also been updated.
3098
87578987
DH
3099- Abandoned or dissociated (err condition) leases now remove any related
3100 dynamic dns bindings. Thanks to a patch from Patrick Schoo.
3101
e77c575f
DH
3102- Attempting to write a new lease file to replace a corrupt (due to
3103 encountering non-retryable errors during writing) lease file should
3104 no longer result in an infinite recursion.
3105
2178df03
DH
3106- Host declaration hardware addresses and client identifiers may only be
3107 configured once. dhcpd will now fail to load config files that specify
3108 multiple identifiers (previous versions would silently over-ride the
3109 value with the later configured value).
3110
d5341d9b
SK
3111- Several option codes that have been allocated since our last release
3112 have been named and documented.
3113
3114- Option names of the form "unknown-123" have been removed from the in-
3115 memory hash tables. In order to support options of these names that
3116 may appear in dhclient.leases or similar in previous versions, the
3117 parser will now find the new option code definition, or mock up a
3118 generic option code definition. This should result in a smooth
3119 transition from one name to the other, as the new name is used to
3120 write new output.
3121
6da113fb
DH
3122 Changes since 3.0.4rc1
3123
3124- The dhcp-options.5 manpage was updated to correct indentation errors
3125 thanks to a patch from Jean Delvare.
3126
3127 Changes since 3.0.4b3
3128
3129- Some manual pages were clarified pursuant to discussion on the dhcp-server
3130 mailing list.
3131
88cd8aca
DH
3132 Changes since 3.0.4b2
3133
45d545f0 3134- Null-termination sensing for certain clients that unfortunately require
88cd8aca
DH
3135 it in DHCPINFORM processing was repaired.
3136
3137- The host-name option and a few others were moved from "X" format to "t"
3138 format to be compatible with new NULL handling functions.
3139
3140- DHCPINFORM processing is a little more careful about return addressing
3141 its responses, or if responding via a relay. The INFORM related
3142 messages also log the 'effective client ip address' rather than the
3143 client's supplied ciaddr (since some clients produce null ciaddrs).
3144
3145- The server was inappropriately sending leases to the RESET state in the
3146 event that multiple active leases were found to match a singly-identified
3147 client. This was changed to RELEASED (by accepting a different, ACTIVE
3148 binding, the client is implicitly releasing its lease). This repairs a
3149 bug wherein secondary servers in failover pairs detecting this condition
3150 move leases to RESET, and primaries refuse to accept that state
3151 transition (properly).
3152
3153- The memset-after-dmalloc() changes made in 3.0.4b1 have been backed out.
3154
3155 Changes since 3.0.4b1
3156
3157- Command line parsing in omshell was repaired - it no longer closes
3158 STDIN after reading one line.
3159
3160- The resolver library no longer closes the /etc/resolv.conf file
3161 descriptor it opened twice.
3162
3163- Changes to trailing NULL removal in 't' option-atoms has been rethought,
3164 it now includes 'd' (domain name) types, and tries hard not to rewind an
3165 option beyond the start of the text field it is un-terminating.
3166
3167 Changes since 3.0.3
3168
3169- A DDNS update handling function was misusing the DNS error codes, rather
3170 than the internal generic result enumeration. The result is a confusing
3171 syslog line, logging the wrong condition.
3172
3173- The DHCP Server was not checking pool balance in the case where it brought
3174 a non-ACTIVE lease out of storage for a client that was returning to use
3175 a lease it once had long ago, and had since expired.
3176
3177- Failover peers no longer bother to look for free leases to allocate when
3178 they already found the client's ACTIVE lease. DISCOVERs are load balanced
98bd7ca0 3179 whether freely-allocated or not, unless the server doubts the peer has
88cd8aca
DH
3180 leases to allocate.
3181
3182- Fixed a bug in dhcrelay agent addition code that suppressed trailing
45d545f0 3183 PAD options - it was suppressing only one trailing PAD option, rather
88cd8aca
DH
3184 than the entire block of them.
3185

DH
3186! Fixed some unlikely overlapping-region memcpy() bugs in dhcrelay agent
3187 option addition and stripping code. Added a few sanity checks. Although
3188 highly improbable, due to requiring the reception of a DHCP datagram well
3189 in excess of all known to be used physical MTU limitations, it is possible
3190 this may have been used in a stack overflow security vulnerability. Thanks
3191 to a patch from infamous42md.
3192
3193! Added some sanity checks to OMAPI connection/authentication code.
3194 Although highly improbable, due to having to deliver in excess of 2^32
3195 bytes of data via the OMAPI channel, not to mention requiring dhcpd to
3196 be able to malloc() a memory region 2^32 bytes in size, it was possible
3197 this might have resulted in a heap overflow security vulnerability.
3198 Thanks to a patch from infamous42md.

3199
3200- dmalloc() memset()'s the non-debug (data) portion of the allocated
3201 memory to zero. Code that memset()'s the result returned by dmalloc() to
3202 zero is redundant. These redundancies were removed.
3203
3204- Some type declaration corrections to u_int16_t were made in common/tr.c
4b97eaff 3205 (Token Ring support) thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.

DH
3206
3207- A failover bug that was allowing leases that EXPIRED or were RELEASED
3208 where tsfp and tstp are identical timestamps to languish in these
3209 transitional states has been repaired. As a side effect, lease
3210 databases should be kept more consistent overall, not just for these
3211 transitional states.
3212
3213- If the lease db is deleted out from under the daemon, and it moves to rewrite
3214 the db, it will go ahead with the operation and move the new db into place
3215 once it detects the old db does not exist.
3216
3217- dhclient now ignores IRDA, SIT, and IEEE1394 network interfaces, as it
3218 is either nonsensical or (in the case of IEEE1394) is not known to support
3219 these interfaces. Thanks to Marius Gedminas and Andrew Pollock of Debian.
3220
3221- Some previously undocumented reasons for dhclient-script invoking has
45d545f0 3222 been documented in the dhclient-script.8 manpage.
88cd8aca
DH
3223
3224- Failover potential expiry calculations (TSTP) have been corrected. Results
3225 should be substantially more consistent, and proper given the constraints.
3226
3227- Adjusted lease state validation checks in potential-conflict, to
3228 account for possible clock skew similarly to normal state, and several
3229 previously illegal transitions were made legal (ex: active->released).
3230
3231- An impossible sanity check was removed from omapi/buffer.c, thanks to a
3232 patch from 'infamous42md'.
3233
3234- An OMAPI host/network byte order problem in lease time values has been
3235 repaired.
3236
3237- Several minor bugs, largely relating to treating 8-byte time values as
3238 4-byte entities, have been repaired after careful review of the FreeBSD
3239 ports collection's patch set. Thanks to the nameless entities who have
3240 contributed to the FreeBSD ports.
3241
3242- When writing a trace file, the file is now created with permissions 0600,
3243 to help administrators avoid accidentally publicising sensitive config
3244 data.
3245
3246- The calculation of the maximum size of DHCP packets no longer includes
3247 Ethernet framing overhead. The result is that the 'Maximum Message
3248 Size' option advertised by clients, or the default value 576, is no
3249 longer reduced by 14 bytes, and instead directly reflects the IP level
3250 MTU (and the default, minimum allowed IP MTU of 576).
3251
3252- The special status of RELEASED/EXPIRED/RESET leases when a server
3253 is operating in partner-down was fixed. It no longer requires a
3254 lease be twice the MCLT beyond STOS to 'reallocate', and the expiry
3255 event to turn these into FREE leases without peer acknowledgement
3256 (after STOS+MCLT) has been repaired.
3257
3258- Compilation on older Solaris systems (lacking /usr/include/sys/int_types.h)
3259 has been repaired.
3260
3261- "append"ing a string onto the end of a "t" type option (such as the
3262 domain-name field) that had been improperly NULL-terminated by the
3263 DHCP server will no longer result in a truncated string containing
3264 only the option from the server, and not the expected appended value.
4b97eaff 3265 Thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
88cd8aca
DH
3266
3267- File handlers on configuration state (config files and lease dbs) should
98bd7ca0 3268 be treated consistently, regardless of whether TRACING is defined or not.
88cd8aca 3269
45d545f0 3270- The Linux build environment has had some minor improvements - better
88cd8aca
DH
3271 sensing of 64-bit pointer sizes (only used for establishing an icmp_id),
3272 and corrections to #if operators regarding LINUX_MAJOR should it ever
3273 move to 3.[01].x.
3274
3275- The server now tries harder to survive the condition where it is unable
3276 to open a new lease file to rewrite the lease state database.

3278 Changes since 3.0.3b3
3279
3280- dhclient.conf documentation for interface {} was updated to reflect recent
3281 discussion on the dhcp-hackers mailing list.
3282
3283- In response to reports that the software does not compile on GCC 4.0.0,
3284 -Werror was removed from Makefile.conf for all platforms that used it.
3285 We will address the true problem in a future release; this is a temporary
3286 workaround.
3287
3288 Changes since 3.0.3b2
3289
3290- An error in code changes introduced in 3.0.3b2 was corrected, which caused
3291 static BOOTP clients to receive random addresses.
3292
3293 Changes since 3.0.3b1
3294
3295- A bug was fixed in BOOTPREQUEST handling code wherein stale references to
3296 host records would be left behind on leases that were not allocated to the
3297 client currently booting (eg in the case where the host was denied booting).
3298
3299- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated to be more clear in regards to
3300 multiple host declarations (thanks to Vincent McIntyre). 'Interim' style
3301 dynamic updates were also retouched.
3302
98311e4b
DH
3303 Changes since 3.0.2
3304
3305- A bug was fixed where a server might load balance a DHCP REQUEST to its
45d545f0 3306 peer after already choosing not to load balance the preceding DISCOVER.
98311e4b
DH
3307 The peer cannot allocate the originating server's lease.
3308
3309- In the case where a secondary server lost its stable storage while the
3310 primary was still in communications-interrupted, and came back online,
3311 the lease databases would not be fully transferred to the secondary.
3312 This was due to the secondary errantly sending an extra UPDREQ message
3313 when the primary made its state transition to PARTNER-DOWN known.
3314
3315- The package will now compile cleanly in gcc 3.3 and 3.4. As a side effect,
3316 lease structures will be 9 bytes smaller on all platforms. Thanks to
4b97eaff 3317 Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3318
3319- Interface discovery code in DISCOVER_UNCONFIGURED mode is now
3320 properly restricted to only detecting broadcast interfaces. Thanks
4b97eaff 3321 to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3322
3323- decode_udp_ip_header was changed so that the IP address was copied out
3324 to a variable, rather than referenced by a pointer. This enforces 4-byte
3325 alignment of the 32-bit IP address value. Thanks to a patch from Dr.
3326 Peter Poeml.
3327
3328- An incorrect log message was corrected thanks to a patch from
3329 Dr. Peter Poeml.
3330
3331- A bug in DDNS was repaired, where if the server's first DDNS action was
3332 a DDNS removal rather than a DDNS update, the resolver library's
3333 retransmit timer and retry timer was set to the default, implying a
3334 15 second timeout interval. Which is a little excessive in a synchronous,
3335 single-threaded system. In all cases, ISC DHCP should now hold fast to
3336 a 1-second timeout, trying only once.
3337
3338- The siaddr field was being improperly set to the server-identifier when
3339 responding to DHCP messages. RFC2131 clarified the siaddr field as
3340 meaning the 'next server in the bootstrap process', eg a tftp server.
3341 The siaddr field is now left zeroed unless next-server is configured.
3342
3343- mockup_lease() could have returned in an error condition (or in the
3344 condition where no fixed-address was found matching the shared
3345 network) with stale references to a host record. This is probably not
3346 a memory leak since host records generally never die anyway.
3347
3348- A bug was repaired where failover servers would let stale client identifiers
3349 persist on leases that were reallocated to new clients not sending an id.
3350
3351- Binding scopes ("set var = value;") are now removed from leases allocated
3352 by failover peers if the lease had expired. This should help reduce the
3353 number of stale binding scopes on leases.
3354
3355- A small memory leak was closed involving client identifiers larger than
3356 7 bytes, and failover.
3357
3358- Configuring a subnet in dhcpd.conf with a subnet mask of 32 bits might
3359 cause an internal function to overflow heap. Thanks to Jason Vas Dias
4b97eaff 3360 at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3361
3362- Some inconsistencies in treating numbers that the lexer parsed as 'NUMBER'
3363 or 'NUMBER_OR_NAME' was repaired. Hexadecimal parsing is affected, and
3364 should work better.
3365
3366- In several cases, parse warnings were being issued before the lexical
3367 token had been advanced to the token whose value was causing an error...
3368 causing parse warnings to claim the problem is on the wrong token.
3369
3370- Host declarations matching on client identifier for dynamic leases will
3371 no longer match fixed-address host declarations (this is now identical
3372 to behaviour for host records matching on hardware address).
3373
3374 Changes since 3.0.2rc3
3375
3376- A previously undocumented configuration directive, 'local-address',
3377 was documented in the dhcpd.conf manpage.
3378
3379 Changes since 3.0.2rc2
3380
45d545f0 3381- Two variables introduced in 3.0.2b1 were used without being initialized
98311e4b
DH
3382 in the case where neither the FILE nor SNAME fields were available for
3383 overloading. This was repaired.
3384
3385- A heretofore believed to be impossible corner case of the option
3386 overloading implementation turned out to be possible ("Unable to sort
3387 overloaded options after 10 tries."). The implementation was reworked
3388 to consider the case of an option so large it would require more than
3389 three chunks to fit.
3390
3391- Many other instances of variables being used without being initialized
3392 were repaired.
3393
3394- An uninitialized variable in omapi_io_destroy() led to the discovery
3395 that this function may result in orphaned pointers (and hence, a memory
3396 leak).
3397
3398 Changes since 3.0.2rc1
3399
3400- allocate_lease() was rewritten to repair a bug in which the server would
3401 try to allocate an ABANDONED lease when FREE leases were available.
3402
3403 Changes since 3.0.2b1
3404
3405- Some dhcp-eval.5 manpage formatting was repaired.
3406
3407 Changes since 3.0.1
3408
3409- A bug was fixed in the server's 'option overloading' implementation,
3410 where options loaded into the 'file' and 'sname' packet fields were
3411 not aligned precisely as rfc2131 dictates.
3412
3413- The FreeBSD client script was changed to support the case where a domain
3414 name was not provided by the server.
3415
3416- A memory leak in 'omshell' per each command line parsed was
3417 repaired, thanks to a patch from Jarkko Torppa.
3418
3419- Log functions writing to stderr were adjusted to use the STDERR_FILENO
3420 system definition rather than '2'. This is a no-op for 90% of platforms.
3421
3422- One call to trace_write_packet_iov() counted the number of io vectors
3423 incorrectly, causing inconsistent tracefiles. This was fixed.
3424
3425- Some expression parse failure memory leaks were closed.
3426
3427- A host byte order problem in tracefiles was repaired.
3428
3429- Pools configured in DHCPD for failover possessing permission lists that
adb95d23 3430 previously were assumed to not include dynamic bootp clients are now
98311e4b
DH
3431 a little more pessimistic. The result is, dhcpd will nag you about just
3432 about most pools that possess a 'allow' statement with no 'deny' that
3433 would definitely match a dynamic bootp client.
3434
3435- The 'ddns-update-style' configuration warning bit now insists that
3436 the configuration be globally scoped.
3437
3438- Two memory leaks in dhclient were closed thanks to a patch from Felix
3439 Farkas.
3440
3441- Some minor but excellently pedantic documentation errors were fixed
3442 thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
3443
3444- Bugs in operator precedence in executable statements have been repaired
3445 once again. More legal syntaxes should be parsed legally.
3446
3447- Failing to initialize a tracefile for any reason if a tracefile was
3448 specified is now a fatal error. Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
3449
3450- Corrected a bug in which the number of leases transferred as calculated
3451 by the failover primary and sent to peers in POOLRESP responses may be
3452 incorrect. This value is not believed to be used by other failover
3453 implementations, excepting perhaps as logged information.
3454
3455- Corrected a bug in which 'dhcp_failover_send_poolresp()' was in fact
3456 sending POOLREQ messages instead of POOLRESP mesasges. This message
3457 was essentially ignored since failover secondaries effectively do not
3458 respond to POOLREQ messages.
3459
3460- Type definitions for various bitwidths of integers in the sunos5-5
3461 build of ISC DHCP have been fixed. It should compile and run more
3462 easily when built in 64-bit for this platform.
3463
3464- "allow known-clients;" is now a legal syntax, to avoid confusion.
3465
3466- If one dhcp server chooses to 'load balance' a request to its failover
3467 peer, it first checks to see if it believes said peer has a free
3468 lease to allocate before ignoring the DISCOVER.
3469
3470- log() was logging a work buffer, rather than the value returned by
3471 executing the statements configured by the user. In some cases,
3472 the work buffer and the intended results were the same. In some other
3473 cases, they were not. This was fixed thanks to a patch from Gunnar
3474 Fjone and directconnect.no.
3475
3476- Compiler warnings for some string type conversions was fixed, thanks
3477 to Andreas Gustafsson.
3478
3479- The netbsd build environments were simplified to one, in which
3480 -Wconversion is not used, thanks to Andreas Gustafsson.
3481
3482- How randomness in the backoff-cutoff dhclient configuration variable
3483 is implemented was better documented in the manpage, and the behaviour
3484 of dhclient in REQUEST timeout handling was changed to match that of
3485 DISCOVER timeout handling.
3486
3487- Omapi was hardened against clients that pass in null values, thanks
3488 to a patch from Mark Jason Dominus.
3489
3490- A bug was fixed in dhclient that kept it from doing client-side
3491 ddns updates. Thanks to a patch from Andreas Gustafsson, which
3492 underwent some modification after review by Jason Vas Dias.
3493
3494- Failover implementations disconnected due to the network between
3495 them (rather than one of the two shutting down) will now try to
3496 re-establish the failover connection every 5 seconds, rather than
3497 to simply try once and give up until one of them is restarted.
3498 Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from Infoblox, and field testing
3499 by Greger V. Teigre which led to an enhancement to it.
3500
3501- A problem that kept DHCP Failover secondaries from tearing down
3502 ddns records was repaired. Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from
3503 Infoblox.
3504
3505- 64bit pointer sizes are detected properly on FreeBSD now.
3506
3507- A bug was repaired where the DHCP server would leave stale references
3508 to host records on leases it once thought about offering to certain
3509 clients. The result would be to apply host and 'known' scopes to the
3510 wrong clients (possibly denying booting). NOTE: The 'mis-host' patch
3511 that was being circulated as a workaround is not the way this bug was
3512 fixed. If you were a victim of this bug in 3.0.1, you are cautioned
3513 to proceed carefully and see if it fixes your problem.
3514
3515- A bug was repaired in the server's DHCPINFORM handling, where it
3516 tried to divine the client's address from the source packet and
3517 would get it wrong. Thanks to Anshuman Singh Rawat.
3518
3519- A log message was introduced to help illuminate the case where the
3520 server was unable to find a lease to assign to any BOOTP client.
3521 Thanks to Daniel Baker.
3522
3523- A minor dhcpd.conf.5 manpage error was fixed.
3524
3525 Changes since 3.0.1rc14
3526
3527- The global variable 'cur_time' was centralized and is now uniformly of a
3528 type #defined in system-dependent headers. It had previously been defined
3529 in one of many places as a 32-bit value, and this causes mayhem on 64-bit
3530 big endian systems. It probably wasn't too healthy on little endian
3531 systems either.
3532
3533- A printf format string error introduced in rc14 was repaired.
3534
3535- AIX system-dependent header file was altered to only define NO_SNPRINTF
3536 if the condition used to #ifdef in vsnprintf in AIX' header files
3537 is false.
3538
3539- The Alpha/OSF system-dependent header file was altered to define
3540 NO_SNPRINTF on OS revisions older than 4.0G.
3541
3542- omapip/test.c had string.h added to its includes.
3543
3544 Changes since 3.0.1rc13
3545
3546! CAN-2004-0460 - CERT VU#317350: Five stack overflow exploits were closed
3547 in logging messages with excessively long hostnames provided by the
3548 clients. It is highly probable that these could have been used by
3549 attackers to gain arbitrary root access on systems using ISC DHCP 3.0.1
3550 release candidates 12 or 13. Special thanks to Gregory Duchemin for
3551 both finding and solving the problem.
3552
3553! CAN-2004-0461 - CERT VU#654390: Once the above was closed, an opening
45d545f0 3554 in log_*() functions was evidenced, on some specific platforms where
98311e4b
DH
3555 vsnprintf() was not believed to be available and calls were wrapped to
3556 sprintf() instead. Again, credit goes to Gregory Duchemin for finding
3557 the problem. Calls to snprintf() are now linked to a distribution-local
3558 snprintf implementation, only in those cases where the architecture is
3559 not known to provide one (see includes/cf/[arch].h). If you experience
3560 linking problems with snprintf/vsnprintf or 'isc_print_' functions, this
3561 is where to look. This vulnerability did not exist in any previously
3562 published version of ISC DHCP.
3563
3564- Compilation on hpux 11.11 was repaired.
3565
3566- 'The cross-compile bug fix' was backed out.
3567
3568 Changes since 3.0.1rc12
3569
3570- Fixed a bug in omapi lease lookup function, to form the hardware
3571 address for the hash lookup correctly, thanks to a patch from
3572 Richard Hirst.
3573
3574- Fixed a bug where dhcrelay was sending relayed responses back to the
3575 broadcast address, but with the source's unicast mac address. Should
3576 now conform to rfc2131 section 4.1.
3577
3578- Cross-compile bug fix; use $(AR) instead of ar. Thanks to Morten Brorup.
3579
3580- Fixed a crash bug in dhclient where dhcpd servers that do not provide
3581 renewal times results in an FPE. As a side effect, dhclient can now
3582 properly handle 0xFFFFFFFF (-1) expiry times supplied by servers. Thanks
3583 to a patch from Burt Silverman.
3584
3585- The 'ping timeout' debugs from rc12 were removed to -DDEBUG only,
45d545f0 3586 and reformatted to correct a compilation error on Solaris platforms.
98311e4b
DH
3587
3588- A patch was applied which fixes a case where leases read from the
3589 leases database do not properly over-ride previously read leases.
3590
3591- dhcpctl.3 manpage was tweaked.
3592
3593 Changes since 3.0.1rc11
3594
3595- A patch from Steve Campbell was applied with minor modifications to
3596 permit reverse dns PTR record updates with values containing spaces.
3597
3598- A patch from Florian Lohoff was applied with some modifications to
3599 dhcrelay. It now discards packets whose hop count exceeds 10 by default,
3600 and a command-line option (-c) can be used to set this threshold.
3601
3602- A failover bug relating to identifying peers by name length instead of
3603 by name was fixed.
3604
45d545f0 3605- Declaring failover configs within shared-network statements should no
98311e4b
DH
3606 longer result in error.
3607
3608- The -nw command line option to dhclient now works.
3609
3610- Thanks to a patch from Michael Richardson:
3611 - Some problems with long option processing have been fixed.
3612 - Some fixes to minires so that updates of KEY records will work.
3613
3614- contrib/ms2isc was updated by Shu-Min Chang of the Intel Corporation.
3615 see contrib/ms2isc/readme.txt for revision notes.
3616
3617- Dhclient no longer uses shell commands to kill another instance of
3618 itself, it sends the signal directly. Thanks to a patch from Martin
3619 Blapp.
3620
3621- The FreeBSD dhclient-script was changed so that a failure to write to
3622 /etc/resolv.conf does not prematurely end the script. This keeps dhclient
3623 from looping infinitely when this is the case. Thanks to a patch from
3624 Martin Blapp.
3625
3626- A patch from Bill Stephens was applied which resolves a problem with lease
3627 expiry times in failover configurations.
3628
3629- A memory leak in configuration parsing was closed thanks to a patch from
3630 Steve G.
3631
3632- The function which discovers interfaces will now skip non-broadcast or
3633 point-to-point interfaces, thanks to a patch from David Brownlee.
3634
3635- Options not yet known by the dhcpd or dhclient have had their names
3636 changed such that they do not contain # symbols, in case they should ever
3637 appear in a lease file. An option that might have been named "#144" is
3638 now "unknown-144".
3639
3640- Another patch from Bill Stephens which allows the ping-check timeout to
3641 be configured as 'ping-timeout'. Defaults to 1.
3642
3643 Changes since 3.0.1rc10
3644
3645- Potential buffer overflows in minires repaired.
3646
3647- A change to the linux client script to use /bin/bash, since /bin/sh may
3648 not be bash.
3649
3650- Some missing va_end cleanups thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
3651
3652- A correction of boolean parsing syntax validation - some illegal syntaxes
3653 that worked before are now detected and produce errs, some legal syntaxes
3654 that errored before will now work properly.
3655
3656- Some search-and-replace errors that caused some options to change their
3657 names was repaired.
3658
3659- Shu-min Chang of the Intel corporation has contributed a perl script and
3660 module that converts the MS NT4 DHCP configuration to a ISC DHCP3
3661 configuration file.
3662
3663- Applied the remainder of the dhcpctl memory leak patch provided by Bill
3664 Squier at ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
3665
3666- Missing non-optional failover peer configurations will now result in a soft
3667 error rather than a null dereference.
3668
3669 Changes since 3.0.1rc9
3670
3671- A format string was corrected to fix compiler warnings.
3672
3673- A number of spelling corrections were made in the man pages.
3674
3675- The dhclient.conf.5 man page was changed to refer to do-forward-updates
3676 rather than a configuration option that doesn't exist.
3677
3678- A FreeBSD-specific bug in the interface removal handling was fixed.
3679
3680- A Linux-specific Token Ring detection problem was fixed.
3681
3682- Hashes removed from as-yet-unknown agent options, having those options
3683 appear in reality before we know about them will no longer produce
3684 self-corrupting lease databases.
3685
3686- dhclient will use the proper port numbers now when using the -g option.
3687
3688- A order-of-operations bug with 2 match clauses in 1 class statement is
3689 fixed thanks to a patch from Andrew Matheson.
3690
3691- Compilation problems on Solaris were fixed.
3692
3693- Compilation problems when built with DEBUG or DEBUG_PACKET were repaired.
3694
3695- A fix to the dhcp ack process which makes certain group options will be
3696 included in the first DHCPOFFER message was made thanks to a patch from
3697 Ling Gou.
3698
3699- A few memory leaks were repaired thanks to patches from Bill Squier at
3700 ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
3701
3702- A fix for shared-networks that sometimes give clients options for the
3703 wrong subnets (in particular, 'option routers') was applied, thanks to
3704 Ted Lemon for the patch.
3705
3706- Omshell's handling of dotted octets as values was changed such that dots
3707 one after the other produce zero values in the integer string.
3708
3709 Changes since 3.0.1rc8
3710
3711- Fix a format string vulnerability in the server that could lead to a
3712 remote root compromise (discovered by NGSEC Research Team, www.ngsec.com).
3713
3714- Add additional support for NetBSD/sparc64.
3715
3716- Fix a bug in the command-line parsing of the client. Also, resolve
3717 a memory leak.
3718
3719- Add better support for shells other than bash in the Linux client
3720 script.
3721
3722- Various build fixes for modern versions of FreeBSD and Linux.
3723
3724- Fix a bad bounds check when printing binding state names.
3725
3726- Clarify documentation about fixed-address and multiple addresses.
3727
3728- Fix a typo in the authoritative error message.
3729
3730- Make a log entry when we can't write a billing class.
3731
3732- Use conversion targets that are the right size on all architectures.
3733
3734- Increment the hop count when relaying.
3735
3736- Log a message when lease state is changed through OMAPI.
3737
3738- Don't rerun the shared_network when evaluating the pool.
3739
3740- Fix a reversed test in the parser.
3741
3742- Change the type of rbuf_max.
3743
3744- Make FTS_LAST a manifest constant to quiet warnings.
3745
3746 Changes since 3.0.1rc7
3747
3748- Fix two compiler warnings that are generated when compiling on Solaris
3749 with gcc. These stop the build, even though they weren't actually
3750 errors, because we prefer that our builds generate no warnings.
3751
3752 Changes since 3.0.1rc6
3753
3754- Don't allow a lease that's in the EXPIRED, RELEASED or RESET state
3755 to be renewed.
3756
3757- Implement lease stealing for cases where the primary has fewer leases
3758 than the secondary, as called for by the standard.
3759
3760- Add a fudge factor to the lease expiry acceptance code, (suggested
3761 by Kevin Miller of CMU).
3762
3763- Fix a bug in permit_list_match that made it much too willing to say
3764 that two permit lists matched.
3765
3766- Unless DEBUG_DNS_UPDATES is defined, print more user-friendly (and
3767 also more compact) messages about DNS updates.
3768
3769- Fix a bug in generating wire-format domain names for the FQDN option.
3770
3771- Fix a bug where the FQDN option would not be returned if the client
3772 requested it, contrary to the standard.
3773
3774- On Darwin, use the FreeBSD DHCP client script.
3775
3776- On NetBSD/sparc, don't check for casting warnings.
3777
3778- Add a flag in the DHCP client to disable updating the client's A
3779 record when sending an FQDN option indicating that the client is
3780 going to update its A record.
3781
3782- In the client, don't attempt a DNS update until one second after
3783 configuring the new IP address, and if the update times out, keep
3784 trying until a response, positive or negative, is received from the
3785 DNS server.
3786
3787- Fix an uninitialized memory bug in the DHCP client.
3788
3789- Apply some FreeBSD-specific bug fixes suggested by Murray Stokely.
3790
3791- Fix a bug in ns_parserr(), where it was returning the wrong sort
3792 of result code in some cases (suggested by Ben Harris of the
3793 NetBSD project).
3794
3795- Fix a bug in is_identifier(), where it was checking against EOF
3796 instead of the END_OF_FILE token (also suggested by Ben Harris).
3797
3798- Fix a bug where if an option universe contained no options, the
3799 DHCP server could dump core (Walter Steiner).
3800
3801- Fix a bug in the handling of encapsulated options.
3802
3803- Fix a bug that prevented NWIP suboptions from being processed.
3804
3805- Delete the FTS_BOOTP and FTS_RESERVED states and implement them
3806 as modifier flags to the FTS_ACTIVE state, as called for in the
3807 failover protocol standard.
3808
3809- Fix bugs in the pool merging code that resulted in references and
3810 dereferences of null pointers. This bug had no impact unless the
3811 POINTER_DEBUG flag was defined.
3812
3813- In the server, added a do-forward-updates flag that can be used to
3814 disable forward updates in all cases, so that sites that want the
3815 clients to take sole responsibility for updating their A record can
3816 do so.
3817
3818- Make it possible to disable optimization of PTR record updates.
3819
3820 Changes since 3.0.1rc5
3821
3822- Include some new documentation and changes provided by Karl Auer.
3823
3824- Add a workaround for some Lexmark printers that send a double-NUL-
3825 terminated host-name option, which would break DNS updates.
3826
3827- Fix an off-by-one error in the MAC-address checking code for
3828 DHCPRELEASE that was added in 3.0.1rc5.
3829
3830- Fix a bug where client-specific information was not being discarded
3831 from the lease when it expired or was released, resulting in
3832 problems if the lease was reallocated to a different client.
3833
3834- If more than one allocation pool is specified that has the same set
3835 of constraints as another allocation pool on the same shared
3836 network, merge the two pools.
3837
3838- Don't print an error in fallback_discard, since this just causes
3839 confusion and does not appear to be helping to encourage anyone to
3840 fix this bug.
3841
3842 Changes since 3.0.1rc4
3843
3844- Fix a bug that would cause the DHCP server to spin if asked to parse
3845 a certain kind of incorrect statement.
3846
3847- Fix a related bug that would prevent an error from being reported in
3848 the same case.
3849
3850- Additional documentation.
3851
3852- Make sure that the hardware address matches the lease when
3853 processing a DHCPRELEASE message.
3854
3855 Changes since 3.0.1rc3
3856
3857- A minor bug fix in the arguments to a logging function call.
3858- Documentation update for dhcpd.conf.
3859
adbef119 3860 Changes since 3.0.1rc2
98311e4b
DH
3861
3862- Allow the primary to send a POOLREQ message. This isn't what the current
3863 failover draft says to do, so we may have to back it out if I can't get the
3864 authors to relent, but the scheme for balancing that's specified in the
3865 current draft seems needlessly hairy, so I'm floating a trial balloon.
3866 The rc1 code did not implement the method described in the draft either.
3867
adbef119 3868 Changes since 3.0.1rc1
98311e4b
DH
3869
3870- Treat NXDOMAIN and NXRRSET as success when we are trying to delete a
3871 domain or RRSET. This allows the DHCP server to forget about a name
3872 it added to the DNS once it's been removed, even if the DHCP server
3873 wasn't the one that removed it.
3874
3875- Install defaults for failover maximum outstanding updates and maximum
3876 silent time. This prevents problems that might occur if these values
3877 were not configured.
3878
3879- Don't do DDNS deletes if ddns-update-style is none.
3880
3881- Return relay agent information options in DHCPNAK. This prevents DHCPNAK
3882 messages from being dropped when the relay agent information option contains
3883 routing information.
3884
3885- Fix a problem where coming up in recover wouldn't result in an update
3886 request being sent.
3887
3888- Add some more chatty messages when we start a recovery update and when it's
3889 done.
3890
3891- Fix a possible problem where some state might have been left around
3892 after the peer lost contact and regained contact about how many updates
3893 were pending.
3894
3895- Don't nix a lease update because of a lease conflict. This test has
3896 never (as far as I know) prevented a mistake, and it appears to cause
3897 problems with failover.
3898
3899- Add support in rc history code for keeping a selective history, rather
3900 than a history of all references and dereferences. This code is only used
3901 when extensive additional debugging is enabled.
3902
adbef119 3903 Changes since 3.0
98311e4b
DH
3904
3905- Make allocators for hash tables. As a side effect, this fixes a memory
3906 smash in the subclass allocation code.
3907
3908- Fix a small bug in omshell where if you try to close an object when
3909 no object is open, it dumps core.
3910
3911- Fix an obscure coredump that could occur on shutdown.
3912
3913- Fix a bug in the recording of host declaration rubouts in the lease file.
3914
3915- Fix two potential spins in the host deletion code.
3916
3917- Fix a core dump that would happen if an application tried to update
3918 a host object attribute with a null value.
3919
3920 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 12
3921
3922- Fix a memory leak in the evaluation code.
3923
3924- Fix an obscure core dump.
3925
3926- Print a couple of new warnings when parsing the configuration file
3927 when crucial information is left out.
3928
3929- Log "no free leases" as an error.
3930
3931- Documentation updates.
3932
3933 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 11
3934
3935- Always return a subnet selection option if one is sent.
3936
3937- Fix a warning that was being printed because an automatic data
3938 structure wasn't zeroed.
3939
3940- Fix some failover state transitions that were being handled
3941 incorrectly.
3942
3943- When supersede_lease is called on a lease whose end time has already
3944 expired, but for which a state transition has not yet been done, do
3945 a state transition. This fixes the case where if the secondary
3946 allocated a lease to a client and the lease "expired" while the
3947 secondary was in partner-down, no expiry event would actually
3948 happen, so the lease would remain active until the primary was
3949 restarted.
3950
3951 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 10
3952
3953- Fix a bug that was preventing released leases from changing state
3954 in failover-enabled pools.
3955
3956- Fix a core dump in the client identifier finder code (for host
3957 declarations).
3958
3959- Finish fixing a bug where bogus data would sometimes get logged to
3960 the dhclient.leases file because it was opened as descriptor 2.
3961
3962- Fix the Linux dhclient-script according to suggestions made by
3963 several people on the dhcp-client mailing list.
3964
3965- Log successful DNS updates at LOG_INFO, not LOG_ERROR.
3966
3967- Print an error message and refuse to run if a failover peer is
3968 defined but not referenced by any pools.
3969
3970- Correct a confusing error message in failover.
3971

TL
3984 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8 Patchlevel 1
3985
3986- Fix a parsing bug that broke dns updates (both interim and ad-hoc).
3987 This was introduced in rc8pl1 as an unintended result of the memory
3988 leakage fixes that were in pl1.
3989
3990- Fix a long-standing bug where the server would record that an update
3991 had been done for a client with no name, even though no update had
3992 been done, and then when the client's lease expired the deletion of
3993 that nonexistant record would time out because the name was the null
9a111ee8 3994 string.
d758ad8c
TL
3995
3996- Clean up the omshell, dhcpctl and omapi man pages a bit.

4000- Fix a bug that could cause the DHCP server to spin if
4001 one-lease-per-client was enabled.
4002
4003- Fix a bug that was causing core dumps on BSD/os in the presence of
4004 malformed packets.
4005
4006- In partner-down state, don't restrict lease lengths to MCLT.
4007
4008- On the failover secondary, record the MCLT received from the primary
4009 so that if we come up without a connection to the primary we don't
4010 wind up giving out zero-length leases.
4011
4012- Fix some compilation problems on BSD/os.
4013
4014- Fix a bunch of memory leaks.
4015
4016- Fix a couple of bugs in the option printer.
4017
4018- Fix an obscure error reporting bug in the dns update code, and also
4019 make the message clearer when a key algorithm isn't supported.
4020
4021- Fix a bug in the tracing code that prevented trace runs that used
4022 tcp connections from being played back.
4023
4024- Add some additional debugging capability for catching memory leaks
4025 on exit.
4026
4027- Make the client release the lease correctly on shutdown.
4028
4029- Add some configurability to the build system.
4030
4031- Install omshell manual page in man1, not man8.
4032
4033- Craig Gwydir sent in a patch that fixes a long-standing bug in the
4034 DHCP client that could cause core dumps, but that for some reason
4035 hadn't been noticed until now.
4036
4037 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 7
4038
4039- Fix a bug in failover where we weren't sending updates after a
4040 transition from communications-interrupted to normal.
4041
4042- Handle expired/released/reset -> free transition according to the
4043 protocol specification (this works - the other way not only wasn't
4044 conformant, but also didn't work).
4045
4046- Add a control object in both client and server that allows either
4047 daemon to be shut down cleanly.
4048
4049- When writing a lease, if we run out of disk space, shut down the
4050 output file and insist on writing a new one before proceeding.
4051
4052- In the server, if the OMAPI listener port is occupied, keep trying
4053 to get it, rather than simply giving up and exiting.
4054
4055- Support fetching variables from leases and also updating and adding
4056 variables to leases via OMAPI.
4057
4058- If two failover peers have wildly different clocks, refuse to start
4059 doing failover.
4060
4061- Fix a bug in the DNS update code that could cause core dumps when
4062 running on alpha processors.
4063
4064- Fixed a bug in ddns updates for static lease entries, thanks to a
4065 patch from Andrey M Linkevitch.
4066
4067- Add support for Darwin/MacOS X
4068
4069- Install omshell (including new documentation).
4070
4071- Support DNS updates in the client (this is a very obscure feature
4072 that most DHCP client users probably will not be able to use).
4073
4074- Somewhat cleaner status logging in the client.
4075
4076- Make OMAPI key naming syntax compatible with the way keys are
4077 actually named (key names are domain names).
4078
4079- Fix a bug in the lease file writer.
4080
4081- Install DHCP ISC headers in a different place than BIND 9 ISC
4082 headers, to avoid causing trouble in BIND 9 builds.
4083
4084- Don't send updates for attributes on an object when the attributes
4085 haven't changed. Support deleting attributes on remote objects.
4086
4087- Fix a number of bugs in omshell, and add the unset and refresh
4088 statements.
4089
4090- Handle disconnects in OMAPI a little bit more intelligently (so that
4091 the caller gets ECONNRESET instead of EINVAL).
4092
4093- Fix a bunch of bugs in the handling of clients that have existing
4094 leases when the try to renew their leases while failover is
4095 operating.
4096

TL
4097 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 6
4098
4099- Fix a core dump that could happen when processing a DHCPREQUEST from
4100 a client that had a host declaration that contained both a
4101 fixed-address declaration and a dhcp-client-identifier option
4102 declaration, if the client identifier was longer than nine bytes.
4103
4104- Fix a memory leak that could happen in certain obscure cases when
4105 using omapi to manipulate leases.
4106

TL
4109 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 5
4110
4111- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that prevented objects in
4112 chains from having their reference counts decreased on dereference.
4113
4114- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that would prevent object
4115 chains from being freed upon removal of the last reference external
4116 to the chain.
4117
4118- Fix a number of other memory leaks in the OMAPI protocol subsystem.
4119
4120- Add code in the OMAPI protocol handler to trace memory leakage.
4121

4134 DHCPDECLINE.
4135
4136- Fix failover peer OMAPI support.
4137
4138- In failover, correctly handle expiration of leases. Previously,
4139 leases would never be reclaimed because they couldn't make the
4140 transition from EXPIRED to FREE.
4141
4142- Fix some broken failover state transitions.
4143
4144- Documentation fixes.
4145
4146- Take out an unnecessary check in DHCP relay agent information option
4147 stashing code that was preventing REBINDING clients from rebinding.
4148
4149- Prevent failover peers from allocating leases in DHCPREQUEST
4150 processing if the lease belongs to the other server.
4151
4152- Record server version in lease file introductory comment.
4153
4154- Correctly report connection errors in OMAPI and failover.
4155
4156- Make authentication signature algorithm name comparisons in OMAPI
4157 case-insensitive.
4158
4159- Fix compile problem on SunOS 4.x
4160
98311e4b 4161- If a signature algorithm is not terminated with '.', terminate it so
eaf0b302
TL
4162 that comparisons between fully-qualified names will work
4163 consistently.
4164
4165- Different SIOCGIFCONF probe code, may "fix" problem on some Linux
4166 systems with the probe not working correctly.
4167

4172- Do lease billing on startup in a way that I *think* will finally do
4173 the billing correctly - the previous method could overbill as a
4174 result of duplicate leases.

4181 Herranz for figuring out the main problem.
4182

4187 Friedrich.

4192
4193- Change the conditions under which a DHCPRELEASE is actually
4194 committed to be consistent with lease binding states rather than
98311e4b 4195 using the lease end time. This may fix some problems with the
892fe689
TL
4196 billing class code.
4197
4198- Fix a bug where lease updates would fail on Digital Unix (and maybe

TL
4206- Fix the dhcp_failover_put_message to not attempt to allocate a
4207 zero-length buffer. Some versions of malloc() fail if you try to
4208 allocate a zero-length buffer, and this was causing problems on,
4209 e.g., Digital Unix.
4210
4211- Fix a case where the failover code was printing an error message
4212 when no error had occurred.
4213
4214- Fix a problem where when a server went down and back up again, the
4215 peer would not see a state transition and so would stay in the
4216 non-communicating state.
4217
4218- Be smart about going into recover_wait.
4219
4220- Fix a problem in the failover implementation where peers would fail
4221 to come into sync if interrupted in the RECOVER state. This could
4222 have been the cause of some problems people have reported recently.
4223
4224- Fix a problem with billing classes where they would not be unbilled
4225 when the client lease expired.
4226
4227- If select fails, figure out which descriptor is bad, and cut it out
4228 of the I/O loop. This prevents a potentially nasty spin. I
4229 haven't heard any report it in a while, but it came up consistently
4230 in testing.
4231
4232- Fix a bug in the relay agent where if you specified interfaces on
4233 the command line, it would fail.
4234
4235- Fix a couple of small bugs in the omapi connection object (no known
4236 user impact).
4237
4238- Add the missing 3.0 Beta 1 lease conversion script.
4239
4240- Read dhcp client script hooks if they exist, rather than only if
4241 they're executable.

4253- There is a known problem with the DHCP server doing failover on
4254 Compaq Alpha systems. This patchlevel is not a release candidate
4255 because of this bug. The bug should be straightforward to fix, so
4256 a new release candidate is expected shortly.

4264 work, so that failover should now much less fragile.

4281
4282- Fix a bug in the DNS update code where a status code was not being
4283 checked. This may have been causing core dumps.
4284
4285- When parsing the lease file, if a lease declaration includes a
4286 billing class statement, and the lease already has a billing class,
4287 unbill the old class.
4288
4289- When processing failover transactions, where acks will be deferred,
4290 process the state transition immediately.
4291
4292- Don't try to use the new SIOCGIFCONF buffer size detection code on
4293 Linux 2.0, which doesn't provide this functionality.
4294
4295- Apply a patch suggested by Tuan Uong for a problem in dlpi.c.
4296
4297- Fix a problem in using the which command in the configure script.
4298
4299- Fix a parse error in the client when setting up an omapi listener.
4300
4301- Document the -n and -g flags to the client.
4302
4303- Make sure there is always a stdin and stdout on startup. This
4304 prevents shell scripts from accidentally writing error messages into
4305 configuration files that happen to be opened as stderr.
4306
4307- If an interface is removed, the client will now notice that it is
4308 gone rather than spinning. This has only been tested on NetBSD.
4309
4310- The client will attempt to get an address even if it can't create a
4311 lease file.

4357
4358- Implement omshell, which can be used to do arbitrary things to the
4359 server (in theory). (Damien Neil)
4360
4361- Fix a case where if a client had two different leases the server could
4362 actually dereference the second one when it hadn't been referenced,
4363 leading to memory corruption and a core dump. (James Brister)
4364
4365- Fix a case where a client could request the address of another client's
4366 lease, but find_lease wouldn't detect that the other client had it, and
4367 would attempt to allocate it to the client, resulting in a lease conflict
4368 message.
4369
4370- Fix a case where a client with more than one client identifier could be
4371 given a lease where the hardware address was correct but the client
4372 identifier was not, resulting in a lease conflict message.
4373
98311e4b 4374- Fix a problem where the server could write out a colon-separated
3350f5b7
TL
4375 hex list as a value for a variable, which would then not parse.
4376 The fix is to always write strings as quoted strings, with any
4377 non-printable characters quoted as octal escape sequences. So
4378 a file written the old way still won't work, but new files written
4379 this way will work.

4381- Fix documentation for sending non-standard options.
4382
4383- Use unparsable names for unknown options. WARNING: this will
4384 break any configuration files that use the option-nnn convention.
4385 If you want to continue to use this convention for some options,
4386 please be sure to write a definition, like this:
4387
4388 option option-nnn code nnn = string;
4389
4390 You can use a descriptive name instead of option-nnn if you like.
4391
4392- Fix a problem where we would see a DHCPDISCOVER/DHCPOFFER/
4393 DHCPREQUEST/DHCPACK/DHCPREQUEST/DHCPNAK sequence. This was the
4394 result of a deceptively silly bug in supersede_lease.
4395

TL
4409- Add support for transaction tracing. This allows the state of the
4410 DHCP server on startup, and all the subsequent transactions, to be
4411 recorded in a file which can then be played back to reproduce the
4412 behaviour of the DHCP server. This can be used to quickly
4413 reproduce bugs that cause core dumps or corruption, and also for
4414 tracking down memory leaks.
4415
4416- Incorporate some bug fixes provided by Joost Mulders for the DLPI
4417 package which should clear up problems people have been seeing on
4418 Solaris.
4419
4420- Fix bugs in the handling of options stored as linked lists (agent
4421 options, fqdn options and nwip options) that could cause memory
4422 corruption and core dumps.
4423
4424- Fix a bug in DHCPREQUEST handling that resulted in DHCPNAK messages
4425 not being send in some cases when they were needed.

4429- Make initial failover startup *much* faster. This was researched
4430 and implemented by Damien Neil.

4469
4470- Finish fixing a long-standing bug in the agent options code. This
4471 was causing core dumps and failing to operate correctly - in
4472 particular, agent option stashing wasn't working. Agent option
4473 stashing should now be working, meaning that agent options can be
4474 used in class statements to control address allocation.
4475

4483- Fix a compile error on some older operating systems.

4486 transmitting packets to the server. Handy for debugging; not much
4487 practical use otherwise.

4498- Work around the Win98 DHCP client, which NUL-terminates the FQDN
4499 option.

4502 the update even when they don't have any way to do it.
4503
4504- Fix some log messages that can be printed when failover is operating
4505 that were not printing enough information.
4506
4507- It was possible for a DHCPDISCOVER to get an allocation even when
4508 the state machine said the server shouldn't be responding.
4509
4510- Don't load balance DHCPREQUESTs from clients in RENEWING and
4511 REBINDING, since in RENEWING, if we heard it, it's for us, and in
4512 REBINDING, the client wouldn't have got to REBINDING if its primary
4513 were answering.

4527 representation from working correctly.
4528
4529- Thanks to Chris Cheney and Michael Sanders, we have a fix for the
4530 hang that they both spotted in the DHCP server - when
4531 one-lease-per-client was set, the code to release the "other" lease
4532 could spin.
4533
4534- Fix a problem with alignment of the input buffer in bpf in cases
4535 where two packets arrive in the same bpf read.
4536
4537- Fix a problem where the relay agent would crash if you specified an
4538 interface name on the command line.
4539
4540- Add the ability to conditionalize client behaviour based on the
4541 client state.
4542
4543- Add support for the FQDN option, and added support for a new way of
4544 doing ddns updates (ddns update style interim) that allows more than
4545 one DHCP server to update the DNS for the same network(s). This
4546 was implemented by Damien Neil with some additional functionality
4547 added by Ted Lemon.
4548
4549- Damien added a "log" statement, so that the configuration file can
4550 be made to log debugging information and other information.
4551
4552- Fixed a bug that caused option buffers not to be terminated with an
4553 end option.
4554
4555- Fixed a long-standing bug in the support for option spaces where the
4556 options are stored as an ordered list rather than in a hash table,
4557 which could theoretically result in memory pool corruption.
4558
4559- Prevent hardware declarations with no actual hardware address from
4560 being written as something unparsable, and behave correctly in the
4561 face of a null hardware address on input.
4562
4563- Allow key names to be FQDNs, and qualify the algorithm name if it is
4564 specified unqualified.
4565
4566- Modify the DDNS update code so that it never prints the "resolver
4567 failed" message, but instead says *why* the resolver failed.
4568

4570 RFC.

4632- Fix a possible DoS attack where a client could cause the checksummer
4633 to dump core. This was a read, not a write, so it shouldn't be
4634 possible to exploit it any further than that.
4635
4636- Implement client- and server-side support for using the Client FQDN
4637 option.
4638
4639- Support for other option spaces in the client has been added. This
4640 means that it is now possible to define a vendor option space on the
4641 client, request options in that space from the server (which must
4642 define the same option space), and then use those options in the
4643 client. This also allows NWIP and Client FQDN options to be used
4644 meaningfully.
4645
4646- Add object initializer support. This means that objects can now be
4647 initialized to something other than all-zeros when allocated, which
4648 makes, e.g., the interface object support code a little more robust.
4649
4650- Fix an off-by-one bug in the host stuffer. This was causing host
4651 deletes not the work, and may also have been causing OMAPI
4652 connections to get dropped. Thanks to James Brister for tracking
4653 this one down!
