DH
9ISC DHCP 4.2.x includes features that were not included in DHCP 4.1.x.
10These include:
37ec5845 11
98bf1607
SR
12Processing the DHCP to DNS server transactions in an asyncrhonous fashion.
13The DHCP server or client can now continue with it's processing while
14awaiting replies from the DNS server.
15
01a54c17
EH
16There are a number of DHCPv6 limitations and features missing in this
17release, which will be addressed in the future:
98bd7ca0 18
01a54c17 19- Only Solaris, Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD are supported.
3a16098f 20
adbef119
DH
21- DHCPv6 includes human-readable text in status code messages, in
22 English. A method to reconfigure or support other languages would
23 be preferrable.
98bd7ca0
DH
24
25- The "host-identifier" option is limited to a simple token.
26
98bd7ca0 27- The client and server can only operate DHCPv4 or DHCPv6 at a time,
45d545f0 28 not both. To use both protocols simultaneously, two instances of the
6de1f33e 29 relevant daemon are required, one with the '-6' command line option.

42 Changes since 4.2.0
43
44- Documentation cleanup covering multiple tickets
45 [ISC-Bugs #20265] [ISC-Bugs #20259] minor cleanup
46 [ISC-Bugs #20263] add text describing some default values
47 [ISC-Bugs #20193] single quotes at the start of a line indicate a control

49 [ISC-Bugs #18916] sync the pointer to web pages amongst the different docs
50
524705e5
DH
51- 'get-host-names true;' now also works even if 'use-host-decl-names true;'
52 was also configured. The nature of this repair also fixes another
53 error; the host-name supplied by a client is no longer overridden by a
54 reverse lookup of the lease address. Thanks to a patch from Wilco Baan
55 Hofman supplied to us by the Debian package maintenance team.
56 [ISC-Bugs #21691] {Debian Bug#509445}
57
f07d0fb5
DH
58- The .TH tag for the dhcp-options manpage was typo repaired
59 thanks to a report from jidanni and the Debian package maintenance
60 team. [ISC-Bugs #21676] {Debian Bug#563613}
61
d6645f56
SR
62- More documentation changes - primarily to put the options in the dhclient
63 and dhcpd man pages into the standard form. Thanks in part to a patch
64 from David Cantrell at Red Hat.
65 [ISC-Bugs #20264] and parts of [ISC-Bugs #17744] dhclient.8 changes
66
4a5098e9
SR
67- Add code to clear the pointer to an object in an OMAPI handle when the
68 object is freed due to a dereference. [ISC-Bugs #21306]
69
ea75d544
DH
70- Fixed a bug that leaks host record references onto lease structures,
71 causing the server to apply configuration intended for one host to any
72 other innocent clients that come along later. [ISC-Bugs #22018]
73
66be0ad1
SR
74- Minor code fixes
75 [ISC-Bugs #19566] When trying to find the zone for a name for ddns allow
76 the name to be at the apex of the zone.
77 [ISC-Bugs #19617] Restrict length of interface name read from command line
78 in dhcpd - based on a patch from David Cantrell at Red Hat.
79 [ISC-Bugs #20039] Correct some error messages in dhcpd.c
80 [ISC-Bugs #20070] Better range check on values when creating a DHCID.
81 [ISC-Bugs #20198] Avoid writing past the end of the field when adding
82 overly long file or server names to a packet and add a log message
83 if the configuration supplied overly long names for these fields.
84 Thanks to Martin Pala.
85 [ISC-Bugs #21497] Add a little more randomness to rng seed in client
86 thanks to a patch from Jeremiah Jinno.
87
57fbc772
SR
88- Correct error handling in DLPI [ISC-Bugs #20378]
89
90- Remove __sun__ and __hpux__ typedefs in osdep.h as they are now being
91 checked in configure. [ISC-Bugs #20443]
92
93- Modify how the cmsg header is allocated the v6 send and received routines
94 to compile on more compilers. [ISC-Bugs #20524]
95
96- When parsing a domain name free the memory for the name after we are
97 done with it. [ISC-Bugs #20824]
98
197c917e
SR
99- Add an elapsed time option to the release message and refactor the
100 code to move most of the common code to a single routine.
101 [ISC-Bugs #21171].
102
8bd445a1
DH
103- Two identical log messages for commit_leases() have been disambiguated.
104 [ISC-Bugs #18915]
105
83d409ae
SR
106- Parse date strings more properly - the code now handles semi-colons in
107 date strings correctly. Thanks to a patch from Jiri Popelka at Red Hat.
108 [ISC-Bugs #21501, #20598]
109
6aaaf6a4
SR
110- Fixes to lease input and output.
111 [ISC-Bugs #20418] - Some systems don't support the "%s" argument to
112 strftime, paste together the same string using mktime instead.
113 [ISC-Bugs #19596] - When parsing iaid values accept printable
114 characters.
115 [ISC-Bugs #21585] - Always print time values in omshell as hex
116 instead of ascii if the values happen to be printable characters.
117
4e0997c6
SR
118- Minor changes for scripts, configure.ac and Makefiles
119 [ISC-Bugs #19147] Use domain-search instead of domain-name in manual and
120 example conf file. Thanks to a patch from David Cantrell
121 at Red Hat.
122 [ISC-Bugs #19761] Restore address when doing a rebind in DHCPv6
123 [ISC-Bugs #19945] Properly close the quote on some arguments.
124 [ISC-Bugs #20952] Add 64 bit types to configure.ac
125 [ISC-Bugs #21308] Add "PATH=" to CLIENT_PATH envrionment variable
126
ad59838e
SR
127- Update the code to parse dhcpv6 lease files to accept a semi-colon at
128 the end of the max-life and preferred-life clauses. In order to be
129 backwards compatible with older lease files not finding a semi-colon
130 is also accepted. [ISC-Bugs #22303].
131
badc999d
SR
132 Changes since 4.2.0b2
133
134- Add declaration for variable in debug code in alloc.c. [ISC-Bugs #21472]
0d8c3d6e 135
1e05d095
SR
136 Changes since 4.2.0b1
137
d122accf
SR
138- Prohibit including lease time information in a response to a DHCP INFORM.
139 [ISC-Bugs #21092]
1e05d095 140
1943bbf8
SR
141! Accept a client id of length 0 while hashing. Previously the server would
142 exit if it attempted to hash a zero length client id, providing attackers
d122accf 143 with a simple denial of service attack. [ISC-Bugs #21253]
63ff896a 144 CERT: VU#541921 - CVE: CVE-2010-2156
1943bbf8 145
8a513c43
DH
146- A memory leak in ddns processing was closed. [ISC-Bugs #21377]
147
d122accf
SR
148- Modify the exception handling for initial context creation. Previously
149 we would try and clean up before exiting. This could present problems
150 when the cleanup required part of the context that wasn't available. It
151 also didn't do much as we exited afterwards anyway. Now we simply log
152 the error and exit. [ISC-Bugs #21093]
153
0d8c3d6e
DH
154- A bug was fixed that could cause the DHCPv6 server to advertise/assign a
155 previously allocated (active) lease to a client that has changed subnets,
156 despite being on different shared networks. Dynamic prefixes specifically
157 allocated in shared networks also now are not offered if the client has
158 moved. [ISC-Bugs #21152]
159
590298e7
SR
160- Add some debugging output for use with the DDNS code. [ISC-Bugs #20916]
161
600ee619 162- Fix the trace code to handle timing events better and to truncate a file
2b58b865
SR
163 before using instead of overwriting it. [ISC-Bugs #20969]
164
165- Modify the determination of the default TTL to use for DDNS updates.
166 The user may still configure the ttl via ddns-ttl. The default for
167 both v4 and v6 is now 1/2 the (preferred) lease time with a limit. The
168 previous defaults (1/2 lease time without a limit for v4 and a default
169 value for v6) may be used by defining USE_OLD_DDNS_TTL in site.h
170 [ISC-Bugs #21126]
600ee619 171
a5c7bf77
DH
172- libisc/libdns is now brought up to version 9.7.1rc1. This corrects
173 three reported flaws in ISC DHCP;
174
175 o DHCP processes (dhcpd, dhclient) fail to start if one of either the
176 IPv4 or IPv6 address families is not present. [ISC-Bugs #21122]
177
178 o Assertion failure when attempting to cancel a previously running DDNS
179 update. [ISC-Bugs #21133]
180
181 o Compilation failure of libisc/libdns due to the use of a flexible
182 array member. [ISC-Bugs #21316]
183
0585235c
SR
184 Changes since 4.2.0a2
185
186- Update the fsync code to work with the changes to the DDNS code. It now
187 uses a timer instead of noticing if there are no more packets to process.
188
f4bc8261
SR
189- When constructing the DNS name structure from a text string append
190 the root to relative names. This satisfies a requirement in the DNS
191 library that names be absolute instead of relative and prevents DHCP
d122accf 192 from crashing. [ISC-Bugs #21054]
f4bc8261 193
33692791
DH
194- "The LDAP Patch" that has been circulating for some time, written by
195 Brian Masney and S.Kalyanasundraram and maintained for application to
196 the DHCP-4 sources by David Cantrell has been included. Please be
197 advised that these sources were contributed, and do not yet meet the
198 high standards we place on production sources we include by default.
199 As a result, the LDAP features are only included by using a compile-time
200 option which defaults off, and if you enable it you do so under your
201 own recognizance. We will be improving this software over time.
202 [ISC-Bugs #17741]
203
3c941d42 204 Changes since 4.2.0a1
928618dd
DH
205
206- When using 'ignore client-updates;', the FQDN returned to the client
207 is no longer truncated to one octet.
208
3c941d42
DH
209- Cleaned up an unused hardware address variable in nak_lease().
210
bdd8e747
DH
211- Manpage entries for the ia-pd and ia-prefix options were updated to
212 reflect support for prefix delegation.
213
3da71461
SR
214- Cleaned up some compiler warnings
215
fdfebedf
DH
216- An optimization described in the failover protocol draft is now included,
217 which permits a DHCP server operating in communications-interrupted state
218 to 'rewind' a lease to the state most recently transmitted to its peer,
219 greatly increasing a server's endurance in communications-interrupted.
220 This is supported using a new 'rewind state' record on the dhcpd.leases
221 entry for each lease.
222
7aa153b8
SR
223- Fix the trace code which was broken by the changes to the DDNS code.
224
adbef119
DH
225 Changes since 4.1.0 (new features)
226
d340bc24
DH
227- Failover port configuration can now be left to defaults (port 647) as
228 described in the -12 revision of the Failover draft (and assigned by
4b97eaff 229 IANA). Thanks in part to a patch from David Cantrell at Red Hat.
adbef119 230
0829d595
DH
231- If configured, dhclient may now transmit to an anycast MAC address,
232 rather than using a broadcast address. Thanks to a patch from David
233 Cantrell at Red Hat.
234
8a3c1e33
PS
235- Added client support for setting interface MTU and metric, thanks to
236 Roy "UberLord" Marples <roy@marples.name>.
237
a41d7a25
PS
238- Added client -D option to specify DUID type to send.
239
9e3eb22a
DH
240- A new failover configuration parameter has been introduced for those
241 environments where DHCP servers can be reasonably guaranteed to be
242 "down" when the failover TCP socket is severed, "auto-partner-down".
243 This parameter is not generally safe, and by default is disabled, so
244 please carefully review the documentation of this parameter in the
245 dhcpd.conf(5) manpage before determining to use it yourself.
246
33ea4622
DH
247- Added a configuration function, 'gethostname()', which calls the system
248 function of the same name and presents the results as a data expression.
249 This function can be used to incorporate the system level hostname of
250 the system the DHCP software is operating on in responses or queries (such
251 as including a failover partner's hostname in a dhcp message or binding
252 scope, or having a DHCP client send any system hostname in the host-name or
253 FQDN options by default).
254
5a671e87
DH
255- The dhcp-renewal-time and dhcp-rebinding-time options may now be configured
256 for DHCPv4 operation and used independently of the dhcp-lease-time
257 calculations. Invalid renew and rebinding times (e.g., greater than the
258 determined lease time) are omitted.
259
98bf1607
SR
260- Processing the DHCP to DNS server transactions in an asyncrhonous fashion.
261 The DHCP server or client can now continue with it's processing while
262 awaiting replies from the DNS server.
c900c5b2
DH
263
264- The 'hardware [ethernet|etc] ...;' parameter in host records has been
265 extended to attempt to match DHCPv6 clients by the last octets of a
266 DUID-LL or DUID-LLT provided by the client.
267
59112e84
SR
268 Changes since 4.1.0 (bug fixes)
269
62f6843d
MA
270- Remove infinite loop in token_print_indent_concat().
271
59112e84
SR
272- Validate the argument to the -p option.
273
47e6eb82
DH
274- The notorious 'option <unknown> ... larger than buffer' log line,
275 which is seen in some malformed DHCP client packets, was modified.
276 It now logs the universe name, and does not log the length values
277 (which are bogus corruption read from the packet anyway). It also
278 carries a hopefully more useful explanation.
279
159c89d7
EH
280- Suppress spurious warnings from configure about --datarootdir
281
1aa0fe5e
DH
282- A bug was fixed that caused the server not to answer some valid Solicit
283 and Request packets, if the dynamic range covering any requested addresses
284 had been deleted from configuration.
285
cd51403d
SR
286- Update the code to deal with GCC 4.3. This included two sets of changes.
287 The first is to the configuration files to include the use of
571c38b0 288 AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS. The second is to deal with return values that
cd51403d
SR
289 were being ignored.
290
64e1823d
DH
291- The db-time-format option was documented in manpages.
292
26e59ee9
DH
293- Using reserved leases no longer results in 'lease with binding state
294 free not on its queue' error messages, thanks to a patch from Frode
295 Nordahl.
296
70ea9345
PS
297- Fix a build error in dhcrelay, using older versions of gcc with
298 dhcpv6 disabled.
299
8d7dca58 300- Two uninitialized stack structures are now memset to zero, thanks to a
4b97eaff 301 patch from David Cantrell at Red Hat.
819186b7 302
f4534b17
DH
303- Fixed a cosmetic bug where pretty-printing valid domain-search options would
304 result in an erroneous error log message ('garbage in format string').
305
f9453d21
DH
306- A bug in DLPI packet transmission (Solaris, HP/UX) that caused the server
307 to stop receiving packets is fixed. The same fix also means that the MAC
308 address will no longer appear 'bogus' on DLPI-based systems.
309
310- A bug in select handling was discovered where the results of one select()
311 call were discarded, causing the server to process the next select() call
312 and use more system calls than required. This has been repaired - the
313 sockets will be handled after the first return from select(), resulting in
314 fewer system calls.
315
a3dcc0b1
DH
316- The update-conflict-detection feature would leave an FQDN updated without
317 a DHCID (still currently implemented as a TXT RR). This would cause later
318 expiration or release events to fail to remove the domain name. The feature
319 now also inserts the client's up to date DHCID record, so records may safely
320 be removed at expiration or release time. Thanks to a patch submitted by
321 Christof Chen.
322
95fd7038
DH
323- Memory leak in the load_balance_mine() function is fixed. This would
324 leak ~20-30 octets per DHCPDISCOVER packet while failover was in use
325 and in normal state.
326
327- Various compilation fixes have been included for the memory related
328 DEBUG #defines in includes/site.h.
329
8a3c1e33
PS
330- Fixed Linux client script 'unary operator expected' errors with DHCPv6.
331
332- Fixed setting hostname in Linux hosts that require hostname argument
333 to be double-quoted. Also allow server-provided hostname to
334 override hostnames 'localhost' and '(none)'.
335
dedde1ba
DH
336- Fixed failover reconnection retry code to continue to retry to reconnect
337 rather than restarting the listener.
338
a57df74a
DH
339- Compilation on Solaris with USE_SOCKETS defined in includes/site.h has
340 been repaired. Other USE_ overrides should work better.
341
342- A check for the local flavor of IFNAMSIZ had a broken 'else' condition,
343 that probably still resulted in the correct behaviour (but wouldn't use
344 a larger defined value provided by the host OS).
345
350576c5
DH
346- Fixed a bug where an OMAPI socket disconnection message would not result
347 in scheduling a failover reconnection, if the link had not negotiated a
348 failover connect yet (e.g.: connection refused, asynch socket connect()
349 timeouts).
350
792156a9
DH
351- A bug was fixed that caused the 'conflict-done' state to fail to be parsed
352 in failover state records.
353
8a4e543b
DH
354! A stack overflow vulnerability was fixed in dhclient that could allow
355 remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands as root on the system,
356 or simply terminate the client, by providing an over-long subnet-mask
1b12d999 357 option. CERT VU#410676 - CVE-2009-0692
8a4e543b 358
a1308b64
DH
359- Fixed a bug where relay agent options would never be returned when
360 processing a DHCPINFORM.
361
1b12d999
DH
362- Versions 3.0.x syntax with multiple name->code option definitions is now
363 supported. Note that, similarly to 3.0.x, for by-code lookups only the
364 last option definition is used.
365
d453265f
PS
366- Fixed a bug where a time difference of greater than 60 seconds between a
367 failover pair could cause the primary to crash on contact with the
368 secondary. Thanks to a patch from Steinar Haug.
369
3e29af1e
PS
370- Don't look for IPv6 interfaces on Linux when running in DHCPv4 mode.
371 Thanks to patches from Matthew Newton and David Cantrell.
372
b8d45c67
DH
373- Secondary servers in a failover pair will now perform ddns removals if
374 they had performed ddns updates on a lease that is expiring, or was
375 released through the primary. As part of the same fix, stale binding scopes
376 will now be removed if a change in identity of a lease's active client is
377 detected, rather than simply if a lease is noticed to have expired (which it
378 may have expired without a failover server noticing in some situations).
379
583c1c16
DH
380- A patch supplied by David Cantrell at RedHat was applied that detects
381 invalid calling parameters given to the ns_name_ntop() function.
382 Specifically, it detects if the caller passed a pointer and size pair
383 that causes the pointer to integer-wrap past zero.
384
e4e3a2ab
DH
385! Fixed a fenceposting bug when a client had two host records configured,
386 one using 'uid' and the other using 'hardware ethernet'. CVE-2009-1892
95f5d38c 387
875e99dc
SR
388- Fixed the check in the dhcp_interface_signal_handler routine to verify
389 the existence of the linked signal handler before calling it.
390
2267da84
DH
391- Both host and subnet6 configuration groups are now included whether a
392 fixed-address6 (DHCPv6) is in use or not. Host scoped configuration takes
393 precedence. This fixes two bugs, one where host scoped configuration
394 would not be included from a non-fixed-address6 host record, and the equal
395 and opposite bug where subnet6 scoped configuration would not be used when
571c38b0 396 over-riding values were not present in a matching fixed-address6 host
2267da84
DH
397 configuration.
398
cd3f0b9b
DH
399- ./configure now checks to ensure the intX_t and u_intX_t types are defined,
400 correcting a compilation failure when using Sun's compiler.
401
0493fdca
SR
402- Modified the handling of a connection to avoid releasing the omapi io
403 object for the connection while it is still in use. One symptom from
404 this error was a segfault when a failover secondary attempted to connect
405 to the failover primary if their clocks were not synchronized.
406
95bba8b6
SR
407- Clean up to allow compilation with gcc 2.95.4 on FreeBSD. Remove an
408 extra semi-colon from common/dns.c and moved setting a variable to NULL
409 in server/dhcpv6.c to allow the compiler to decide that the variable

417 Changes since 4.1.0a2
418
419- A cosmetic bug in DHCPDECLINE processing was fixed which caused all
420 successful DHCPDECLINEs to be logged as "not found" rather than
421 "abandoned".
422

423- Added configuration file examples for DHCPv6.
424
1387545f
DH
425- Some failover debugging #defines have been better defined and some
426 high frequency messages moved to a deeper debugging symbol.
427
428- The CLTT parameter in failover is now only updated by client activity,
429 and not by failover binding updates (taking on the peer's CLTT).
430
431- Failover BNDUPD messages are now discarded if they conflict with an
d7ac7a27 432 update that has been transmitted, but not acknowledged.
1387545f 433

434- A bug cleaning up unknown-xxx temporary option definitions was fixed.
435
fbcee149
DH
436- Delayed-ack is now a compile-time option, compiled out by default.
437 This feature is simply too experimental for right now, and causes
438 some problems to some failover installations. We will revisit this
439 in future releases.
440
f1672d89
DH
441- The !inet_pton() call in res_mkupdrec was adjusted to '<= 0' as
442 inet_pton returns either 1, 0, or -1.
443
236d3a99
DH
444- A dhclient-script for MacOS X has been included, which enables
445 'dhclient -6' support.
446
efa5e6b9
DH
447- DDNS removal routines were updated so that the DHCID is not removed until
448 the client has been deprived of all A and AAAA records (not only the last
449 one of either of those). This resolves a bug where dual stack clients
450 would not be able to regain their names after either expiration event.
451

459 routers option before the subnet mask option were receiving
460 only the latter. Fixed.

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

DH
471- Ari Edelkind's PARANOIA patch has been included and may be compiled in
472 via two ./configure parameters, --enable-paranoia and
473 --enable-early-chroot.
474

475- ./configure was extended to cover many optional build features, such
476 as failover, server tracing, debugging, and the execute() command.

f8cbf390
DH
478- There is now a default 1/4 of a second scheduled delay between delayed
479 fsync()'s, it can be configured by the max-ack-delay configuration
480 parameter.
481
8269561d
DH
482- A bug was fixed where the length of a hostname was miscalculated, so that
483 hosts were given odd-looking domain names ("foo.bar.ba.example.com").
484
b445a411

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

495
9ac4206a
DH
496- DHCPv6 vendor-class options (VSIO) are now only sent when they appear
497 on the DHCPv6 ORO. This resolves a bug where VSIO options were placed
498 in IA_NA encapsulated options fields.
499
420d8b3f
FD
500- Integrated client with stateless, temporary address and prefix delegation
501 support.

EH
510- Merge DHCPv6-only "dhcrelay6" into general-purpose "dhcrelay" (use
511 "-6" option to select DHCPv6 mode).
512
d352732e
EH
513- Fix handling of -A and -a flags in dhcrelay; it was failing to expand
514 packet size as needed to add relay agent options.
515
7d6180be
DH
516- A bug in subnet6 parsing where options contained in subnet6 clauses would
517 not be applied to clients addressed within that network was repaired.
518
519- When configuring a "subnet {}" or "subnet6 {}" without an explicit
520 shared-network enclosing it, the DHCP software would synthesize a
521 shared-network to contain the subnet. However, all configuration
522 parameters within the subnet more intuitively belong "to any client
523 on that interface", or rather the synthesized shared-network. So,
524 when a shared-network is synthesized, it is used to contain the
525 configuration present inside the subnet {} clause. This means that
526 the configuration will be valid for all clients on that network, not
527 just those addressed out of the stated subnet. If you intended the
528 opposite, the workaround is to explicitly configure an empty
529 shared-network.
530
531- A bug was fixed where Information-Request processing was not sourcing
532 configured option values.
533
534- A warning was added since the DHCPv6 processing software does not yet
535 support class statements.

537- Compliation warnings on GCC 4.3 relating to bootp source address
538 selection were repaired.
539
ecddae64
DH
540- The v6 BSD socket method was updated to use a single UDP BSD socket
541 no matter how many interfaces are involved, differentiating the
542 interfaces the packets were received on by the interface index supplied
543 by the OS.
544
545- The relay agent no longer listens to the All DHCP Servers Multicast
546 address.
547
548- A bug was fixed in data_string_sprintfa() where va_start was only called
549 once for two invocations of vsprintf() variants.

d104d45b
DH
551- ERO (RFC 4994) server support.
552

4cafb815 562- Added explicit parser support for zero-length DHCP options, such as
6d7f9584 563 rapid-commit, via format code 'Z'.
4cafb815 564
022fe95e
EH
565- It's now possible to update the "ends" field of a lease with OMAPI.
566 This is useful if you want not only to release a lease, but also make
567 it available for reuse right away. Hat tip to Christof Chen.
568

SK
569- Fixed definition of the iaaddr hash functions to use the correct
570 functions when referencing and dereferencing memory.

575 reserved IDs avoided).
576
b51c785f

577- Unicast options are taken into account only for RENEWs.
578
900405e9

579- NoAddrsAvail answers to SOLICITs are always ADVERTISEs even when a SOLICIT
580 carries a rapid-commit option.
581
96b620e5
FD
582- Return in place of raise an impossible condition when one tries to release
583 an empty active lease.
584
be62cf06
FD
585- Timer granularity is now 1/100s in the DHCPv6 client.
586
01a54c17
EH
587- The dhclient-script was updated to create a host route for the default
588 gateway if the supplied subnet mask for an IPv4 address was a /32. This
589 allows the client to work in 'captive' network environments, where the
590 operator does not want clients to crosstalk directly.
591
592- MINUS tokens should be parseable again.
593
594- Multiple (up to "delayed-ack x;" maximum) DHCPv4 packets are now queued and
595 released in bursts after single fsync() events when the upper limit is
596 reached or if the receiving sockets go dry. The practical upshot is
597 that fsync-coupled server performance is now multiplicitively increased.
598 The default delayed ack limit is 28. Thanks entirely to a patch from
599 Christof Chen.
600
601 Changes since 4.0.0 (bug fixes)
602
603- DHCP now builds on AIX.

606 config file but -6 is not specified.
607
608- Fixed "--version" flag in dhcrelay
609
610- The 'min-secs' configuration parameter's log message has been updated to
611 be more helpful.
612
613- The warning logged when an address range doesn't fit in the subnets
614 they were declared has been updated to be more helpful and identify the
615 typo in configuration that created the spanning addresses.
616
617- A bug in failover pool rebalancing that caused POOLREQ message ping-pongs
618 was repaired.
619
620- A flaw in failover pool rebalancing that could cause POOLREQ messages to
621 be sent outside of the min-balance/max-balance scheduled intervals has
622 been repaired.
623
624- A cosmetic bug during potential-conflict recovery that caused the peer's
625 'conflict-done' state message to be logged as 'unknown-state' has been
626 repaired. It is now logged correctly.
627
49f61135
DH
628- A bug was fixed where the 'giaddr' may be used to find the client's subnet
629 rather than its own 'ciaddr'.
630
41d4652f
DH
631- A log message was introduced to clarify the situation where a failover
632 'address' parameter (the server's local address) did not resolve to an
633 IPv4 address.
634
2c9bf1f4
DH
635- The minimum site code value was set to 224 in 3.1.0 to track RFC3942. This
636 broke a lot of legacy site local configurations. The new code in place will
637 track site local space minimum option codes and logs a warning to encourage
638 updates and exploration of site local code migration problems. Option
639 codes less than 128 in site local spaces remain inaccessible.
640
641- A possible relay agent option bug was repaired where random server
642 initialization state may have been used to signal the relay agent
643 information options sub-option code for the 'END' of the option space.
644
cff9b78f
SK
645- Fixes to allow code to compile and run on Solaris 9.
646
c4d29896
SK
647- Fixes to allow code to compile on Mac OS X Leopard (10.5).
648
57fcb8d9
SK
649- When server is configured with options that it overrides, a warning is
650 issued when the configuration file is read, rather than at the time the
651 option is overridden. This was important, because the warning was given
652 every time the option was overridden, which could create a lot of
653 unnecessary logging.
654
219a65eb
DH
655- Fixed a compilation problems on platforms that define a value for FDDI,
656 which conflicts with a dhcp configuration syntax token by the same name.
657
ffdf3c8c
DH
658- When a failover server suspects it has encountered a peer running a
659 version 3.0.x failover server, a warning that the failover wire protocol
660 is incompatible is printed.
661
662- The failover server no longer issues a floating point error if it encounters
663 a previously undefined option code.
664
00a002fc
MA
665- Fix startup error messages to report a missing "subnet6 declaration", rather
666 than a missing "subnet declaration", when running as a DHCPv6 server.
667
7e9f7a1b
FD
668- DHCPv6 client timestamp in DUID was based on the year 1970 rather
669 than the year 2000.

677 Changes since 4.0.0b3
678
679- The reverse dns name for PTR updates on IPv6 addresses has been fixed to
680 use ip6.arpa. rather than default to in-addr.arpa and require user
681 configuration.
76db44f9 682
e32529a5
EH
683- dhc6_lease_destroy() and dhc6_ia_destroy() now set lease and IA pointers
684 to NULL after freeing, to prevent subsequent accesses to freed memory.
685
76db44f9
SK
686- The DHCPv6 server would not send the preference option unless the
687 client requested it, via the ORO. This has been fixed, so the DHCPv6
688 server will always send the preference value if it is configured.
e4a6be15 689
6f76de58
SK
690- When addresses were passed as hints to the server in an IA, they were
691 incorrectly handled, sometimes being treated as an error. Now the
692 server will treat these as hints and ignore them if it cannot supply
693 a requested address.
694
703873ab
DH
695- If the client had multiple addresses, and one expired (was not renewed
696 by the server), the client would continue to attempt to renew the same
697 old address over and over. Now, the client will omit any expired
698 addresses from future Confirm, Renew, or Rebind messages.
699
700- dhclient -6 will now select renew/rebind timers based upon the longest
701 address expiration time rather than the shortest expiration time, in
702 order to avoid cascading renewals in the event a server elects not to
703 extend one of multiple IAADDR leases.
704
b024480e
DH
705- The server now limits clients that request multiple addresses to one
706 address per IA by default, which can be adjusted through the
707 "limit-addrs-per-ia" configuration option.
708
c0216cb7
DH
709- The DHCPv6 client now issues fresh transaction IDs on Renew and Rebind
710 message exchanges, rather than using the most recent ID.
711

723- A reference overleak in DHCPv6 shared network processing was repaired.
724
f8b3c6f4
DH
725- ./configure now autodetects local database locations rather than trying
726 to put dhcpd.leases and dhclient.leases in /usr/local/var/db, which no
727 one ever has.
728
b9137d42
SK
729- Regression fix for bug where server advertised a IPv6 address in
730 response to a SOLICIT but would not return the address in response
731 to a REQUEST.
732
9f1d5a2f
DH
733- A bug was fixed where the DHCPv6 server puts the NoAddrsAvail status
734 code in the IA_NA was fixed. The status code now appears in the root
735 level.

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

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

75135a3f
EH
753- Use different paths for PID and lease files when running in DHCPv4
754 or DHCPv6 mode, so that servers for both protcols can be run
755 simultaneously on a single interface.

758 of service under unusual server configurations

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

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

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

805
7285af30
DH
806- DDNS updates state information are now stored in 'binding scopes' that
807 follow the leases through their lifecycles. This enables DDNS teardowns
808 on leases that are assigned and expired inbetween a server restart (the
809 state is recovered from dhcpd.leases). Arbitrary user-specified binding
810 scopes ('set var = "value";') are not yet supported.

890- IPv6 subnets now have support for arbitrary allocation ranges via
891 a new 'range6' configuration directive.

DH
895- Corrected some situations where variables might be used without being
896 initialized.
897
898- Silenced several other compiler warnings.
899
900- Include the more standard sys/uio.h rather than rely upon other
f66f02cc
DH
901 header files to include it (fixes a BSD 4.2 compile failure).
902
903- Duplicate dhclient-script updates for DHCPv6 to all provided scripts.
a512d11b 904
4ba58919
DH
905- DHCPv4 I/O methods that failed to sense hardware address were corrected.
906
907- DHCPv4 is now the default (as documented) rather than DHCPv6. The default
908 was set to DHCPv6 to facilitate ease early development, and forgotten.
909
910- Corrected a segmentation violation in DHCPv4 socket processing.
911
8ea19a71 912- dhclient will now fork() into the background once it binds to an
45d545f0 913 IPv6 address, or immediately if the -n flag is supplied.
8ea19a71
DH
914
915- -q is now the default behaviour on dhclient, with -d or -v enabling
916 non-quiet (stderr logging) mode.

98bd7ca0
DH
924 Changes since 3.1.0 (NEW FEATURES)
925
926- DHCPv6 Client and Server protocol support. Use '-6' to run the daemons
927 as v6-only. Use '-4' to run the daemons as v4-only (default. There is
928 no support currently for both.
929
930- Server support for multiple IA_NA options, containing at most one
931 IAADDR option.
932
933- Client support for one IA_NA option, containing any number of IAADDR
934 options.
935
936- Server support for the DHCPv6 Information-request message.
937
938- Inappropriate unicast DHCPv6 messages sent to the server are now
939 discarded, and this has rearchitected the IO system slightly.
940
941- The DHCPv6 server DUID defaults to type 1, is persistently stored in
942 the leases database, and can be over-ridden (either completely, or by
943 specifying type 1 or type 2).
944
945- The server only uses Rapid-Commit if it has been configured with the
946 Rapid-Commit option and the client requests it.
947
948- DDNS support. We now update AAAA records in the same place we would
949 update A records, if we have an IPv6 address. We also generate IP6.ARPA
950 style names for PTR records if we're dealing with an IPv6 address. Both
951 A and AAAA updates are done using the same 'fqdn.' virtual option space
952 (although the DHCPv4 FQDN and DHCPv6 FQDN options are formatted
953 differently, they both use the same code here).
954
955- The Linux dhclient-script attempts to set and remove assigned addresses,
956 and to configure /etc/resolv.conf from nameserver and domain name
957 configurations. It can be extended to configure other parameters.
958
959- Initial DHCPv6 lease support.
960
961- The IO system now tracks all local IP addresses, so that the DHCP
962 applications (particularly the dhcrelay) can discern between what frames
963 were transmitted to it, and what frames are being carried through it which
964 it should not intercept.
965

DH
966 Changes since 3.1.0 (Maintenance)
967
968- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for virgin leases always
969 mapped to the primary. Virgin leases now have an interleaved preference
970 between primary and secondary.
971
972- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for clients with no client
973 identifier was sometimes mishashed to the peer. Load balancing during
974 runtime and pool rebalancing were opposing.
975
aa3e348e
DH
976- An assertion in lease counting relating to reserved leases was repaired.
977
e9c59645
DH
978- The subnet-mask option inclusion now conforms with RFC2132 section 3.3;
979 it will only appear prior to the routers option if it is present on the
980 Parameter-Request-List. The subnet-mask option will also only be
981 included by default (if it is not on the PRL) in response to DISCOVER
982 or REQUEST messages.
983
984- The FQDN option is only supplied if the client supplied an FQDN option or
985 if the FQDN option was explicitly requested on the PRL.
986
c104546d
DH
987- Dynamic BOOTP leases are now load balanced in failover.

a512cc3a
DH
994 Changes since 3.1.0b2
995
996- Failover rebalance events no longer play ping pong with round errors
997 (moving leases between free and back to backup where there are an
998 odd number of leases).
999
1000- The 'pool' log line has been split into two messages, one before the
1001 rebalance run, and one after.
1002
1003- Any queued BNDACKs are transmitted before transmitting new BNDUPDs.
1004 This enforces the correct sequence of events for the remote server
1005 processing these messages.

1010 objects.
1011
1ba87b37
EH
1012- A new server config option "fqdn-reply" specifies whether the server
1013 should send out option 81 (FQDN). Defaults to "on". If set to "off",
1014 the FQDN option is not sent, even if the client requested it. This is
1015 needed because some clients misbehave otherwise. Thanks to Christof Chen
1016 at Allianz.
1017
a58da042
EH
1018- Allow trace output files (-tf option) to be overwritten, rather than
1019 crashing dhcpd if the file already exists
1020
61252edf
EH
1021- A bug was fixed that caused dhcpd to segfault if a pool was declared
1022 outside the scope of a subnet in dhcpd.conf.

27837f95
DH
1024- Some uninitialized values were repaired in dhcpleasequery.c that
1025 caused the server to abort.
1026
4d2eaafb
DH
1027- A new server config option, 'do-reverse-updates', has been added
1028 which causes the server to abstain from performing updates on PTR
1029 records. Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen at Allianz.

1034- A bug in dhclient was repaired which caused it to send parameter request
1035 lists of 55 bytes in length no matter how long the declared PRL was.

1060- A bug in the FQDN universe that added FQDN codes to the NWIP universe's
1061 hash table was repaired.
1062
616d67cb
DH
1063- The servers now try harder to transmit pending binding updates when
1064 entering normal state.
1065
1066- UPDREQ/UPDREQALL handling was optimized - it no longer dequeues and
1067 requeues all pending updates. This should reduce the number of spurious
66c8f734
DH
1068 'xid mismatch' log messages.
1069
1070- An option definition referencing leak was fixed, which resulted in early
1071 termination of dhclient upon the renewal event.
616d67cb 1072
6708d944
DH
1073- Some default hash table sizes were tweaked, some upwards, some downwards.
1074 3.1.0a1's tables resulted in a reduction in default server memory use.
1075 The new selected values provide more of a zero sum (increasing the size
1076 of tables likely to be populated, decreasing the size of tables unlikely).
1077
45d545f0 1078- Lease structures appear in three separate hashes: by IP address, by UID,
6708d944
DH
1079 and by hardware address. One type of table was used for all three, and
1080 improvements to IP address hashing were applied to all three (so UID and
1081 hardware addresses were treated like 4-byte integers). There are now two
1082 types of tables, and the uid/hw hashes use functions more appropriate
1083 to their needs.
1084
1085- The max-lease-misbalance percentage no longer causes scheduled rebalance
1086 runs to be skipped: it still governs the schedule, but every scheduled
1087 run will attempt balance.
1088
a7ee93fe
DH
1089- A segfault bug in recursive encapsulation support has been corrected.
1090
98311e4b
DH
1091 Changes since 3.0 (New Features)
1092
1093- A workaround for certain STSN servers that send a mangled domain-name
1094 option was introduced for dhclient. The client will now accept corrupted
1095 server responses, if they contain a valid DHCP_MESSAGE_TYPE (OFFER, ACK,
1096 or NAK). The server will continue to not accept corrupt client packets.
1097
98bd7ca0 1098- Support for 'reserved' (pseudo-static) and BOOTP leases via failover
a55ccdd0 1099 was introduced.
98311e4b
DH
1100
1101- Support for adding, removing, and managing class and subclass statements
1102 via OMAPI.
1103
a55ccdd0
DH
1104- The failover implementation was updated to comply with revision 12 of
1105 the protocol draft.
1106
98311e4b
DH
1107- 'make install' now creates the initial zero-length dhcpd.leases file if
1108 one does not already exist on the system.
1109
b43c87ad 1110- RFC3942 compliance, site-local option spaces start at 224 now, not 128.
b43c87ad 1111
0b17f049
DH
1112- The Load Balance Algorithm was misimplemented. The current implementation
1113 matches RFC 3074.
1114
2727c1cf
DH
1115- lcase() and ucase() configuration expressions have been added which adjust
1116 their arguments from upper to lower and lower to upper cases respectively.
2714a8ef 1117 Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
2727c1cf 1118
febbd402
DH
1119- The dhclient 'reject ...;' statement, which rejects leases given by named
1120 server-identifiers, now permits address ranges to be specified in CIDR
7d7073e7 1121 notation. Thanks to a patch from David Boyce.
febbd402 1122
ee912528
DH
1123- The subnet-mask option is now supplied by default, but at lowest
1124 priority. This helps a small minority of clients that provide parameter
1125 request lists, but do not list the subnet-mask option because they were
1126 designed to interoperate with a server that behaves in this manner.
1127
1128- The FQDN option is similarly supplied even if it does not appear on the
1129 parameter request list, but not to the exclusion of options that do
1130 appear at the parameter request list. Up until now it had ultimate
1131 priority over the client's parameter request list.
1132
f7fdb216 1133- Varying option space code and length bit widths (8/16/32) are now
51202707 1134 supported. This is a milestone in achieving RFC 3925 "VIVSO" and
f7fdb216
DH
1135 DHCPv6 support.
1136
5e864416
DH
1137- A new common (server or client) option, 'db-time-format local;', has
1138 been added which prints the local time in /var/db/dhcpd.leases rather
1139 than UTC. Thanks to a patch from Ken Lalonde.
1140
b500bd4c
DH
1141- Some patches to improve DHCP Server startup speed from Andrew Matheson
1142 have been incorporated.
1143
2426234f
DH
1144- Failover pairs now implement 'MAC Affinity' on leases moving from the
1145 active to free states. Leases that belonged to the failover secondary
1146 are moved to BACKUP state rather than FREE upon exiting EXPIRED state.
1147 If lease rebalancing must move leases, it tries first to move leases
1148 that belong to the peer in need.
1149
1150- The server no longer sends POOLREQ messages unless the pool is severely
1151 misbalanced in the peer's favor (see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more details).
1152
1153- Pool rebalance events no longer happen upon successfully allocating a
1154 lease. Instead, they happen on a schedule. See 'man dhcpd.conf' for the
1155 min-balance and max-balance statements for more information.
1156
334bf491
DH
1157- The DHCP Relay Agent Information Option / Link Selection Sub-Option
1158 is now supported. (See RFC3527 for details).
1159
3004bebf
DH
1160- A new DDNS related server option, update-conflict-detection, has been
1161 added. If this option is enabled, dhcpd will perform normal DHCID
1162 conflict resolution (the default). If this option is disabled, it will
1163 instead trust the assigned name implicitly (removing any other bindings
1164 on that name). This option has not been made available in dhclient.
1165
567e8561
DH
1166- In those cases where the DHCP software manufactures an IP header (to
1167 transmit via bpf, lpf, etc), the IP TTL the software selects has been
1168 increased from 16 to 128. This is intended to match Microsoft Windows
1169 DHCP Client behaviour, to increase compatibility.
1170
a396d25f
DH
1171- 'ignore client-updates;' now has behaviour that is different from
1172 'deny client-updates;'. The client's request is not truly ignored,
1173 rather it is encouraged. Should this value be configured, the server
1174 updates DNS as though client-updates were set to 'deny'. That is, it
1175 enters into DNS whatever it is configured to do already, provided it is
1176 configured to. Then it sends a response to the client that lets the
1177 client believe it is performing client updates (which it will), probably
1178 for a different name. In essence, this lets the client do as it will,
1179 ignoring this aspect of their request.
1180
dba5803b
DH
1181- Support for compressed 'domain name list' style DHCP option contents, and
1182 in particular the domain search option (#119) was added.
1183
41e45067 1184- The DHCP LEASEQUERY protocol as defined in RFC4388 is now implemented.
6d103865
SK
1185 LEASEQUERY lets you query the DHCP server for information about a lease,
1186 using either an IP address, MAC address, or client identifier. Thanks
1187 to a patch from Justin Haddad.
1188
41e45067
DH
1189- DHCPD is now RFC2131 section 4.1 compliant (broadcast to all-ones ip and
1190 ethernet mac address) on the SCO platform specifically without any strange
1191 ifconfig hacks. Many thanks go to the Kroger Co. for donating the
1192 hardware and funding the development.
6d103865 1193
b543fea9
DH
1194- A new common configuration executable statement, execute(), has been
1195 added. This permits dhcpd or dhclient to execute a named external
1196 program with command line arguments specified from other configuration
1197 language. Thanks to a patch written by Mattias Ronnblom, gotten to us
1198 via Robin Breathe.
1199
b22de500
DH
1200- A new dhcp server option 'adaptive-lease-time-threshold' has been added
1201 which causes the server to substantially reduce lease-times if there are
1202 few (configured percentage) remaining leases. Thanks to a patch submitted
1203 from Christof Chen.
1204
96bbe8c5
SK
1205- Encapsulated option spaces within encapsulated option spaces is now
1206 formally supported.
1207
b8221d95
DH
1208 Changes since 3.0.6rc1
1209
1210- supersede_lease() now requeues leases in their respective hardware
1211 address hash bucket. This mirrors client identifier behaviour.
1212
c1e6c832
DH
1213 Changes since 3.0.5
1214
f546c28b
DH
1215- Assorted fixes for broken network devices: Packet length is now
1216 determined from the IP header length field to finally calculate the
1217 UDP payload length, because some NIC drivers return more data than
5a22eb63 1218 they actually received.
f546c28b
DH
1219
1220- UDP packets are now stored in aligned data structures.
1221
c1e6c832
DH
1222- A logic error in omapi interface code was repaired that might result in
1223 incorrectly indicating 'up' state when any flags were set, rather than
23e10d37
DH
1224 specifically the INTERFACE_REQUESTED flag. Thanks to a patch from
1225 Jochen Voss which got to us via Andrew Pollock at Debian.
c1e6c832 1226
75ab3070
DH
1227- A reference leak on binding scopes set by ddns updates was repaired.
1228
d69fb6a8 1229- A memory leak in the minires_nsendsigned() function call was repaired.
23e10d37 1230 Effectively, this leaked ~176 bytes per DDNS update.
d69fb6a8 1231
02428754
DH
1232- In the case where an "L2" DHCP Relay Agent (one that does not set giaddr)
1233 was directly attached to the same broadcast domain as the DHCP server,
1234 the RFC3046 relay agent information option was not being returned to the
1235 relay in the server's replies. This was fixed; the dhcp server no longer
1236 requires the giaddr to reply with relay agent information. Note that
1237 this also improves compatibility with L2 devices that "intercept" DHCP
1238 packets and expect relay agent information even in unicast (renewal)
23e10d37
DH
1239 replies. Thanks to a patch from Pekka Silvonen.
1240
1241- A bug was fixed where the BOOTP header 'sname' field had a value, the
1242 copy written to persistent storage was actually the contents of the
1243 'file' field.
02428754 1244
ecde99a3
DH
1245- A bug was fixed where the nwip virtual option space was referencing
1246 the fqdn option's virtual option space's option cache.
1247
67674ffb
DH
1248- Timestamp parsing errors that indicated missing "minutes" fields rather
1249 than the actually missing "seconds" fields have been repaired thanks to
1250 a patch from Kevin Steves.
1251
830ebc4c
DH
1252- A grammar error in the dhclient.8 manpage was repaired thanks to a patch
1253 from Chris Wagner.
1254
c759db75
DH
1255- Several spelling typos were repaired, and some cross-references to other
1256 relevant documents were included in the manpages, thanks to a patch
1257 by Andrew Pollock which got to us via Tomas Pospisek.
1258
9aa3f3a5
DH
1259- Some bugs were fixed in the 'emergency relay agent options hologram'
1260 which is used to retain relay agent option contents from when the
1261 client was in INIT or REBIND states. This should solve problems where
1262 relay agent options were not echoed from the server, even when giaddr
1263 was set.
1264
3d0c598a
DH
1265- dhclient now closes its descriptor to dhclient.leases prior to executing
1266 dhclient-script. Thanks to a patch from Tomas Pospisek.
1267
d5b6835f
DH
1268- The server's "by client-id" and "by hardware address" hash table lists
1269 are now sorted according to the preference to re-allocate that lease to
1270 returning clients. This should eliminate pool starvation problems
1271 arising when "INIT" clients were given new leases rather than presently
1272 active ones.
1273
02428754 1274 Changes since 3.0.5rc1
0a73b7b6 1275
901306d5 1276- A bug was repaired in fixes to the dhclient, which sought to run the
0a73b7b6
SK
1277 dhclient-script with the 'EXPIRE' state should it receive a NAK in
1278 response to a REQUEST. The client now iterates the PREINIT state
1279 after the EXPIRE state, so that interfaces that might be configured
1280 'down' can be brought back 'up' and initialized.
1281
87a08ccc
DH
1282- DHCPINFORM handling for clients that properly set ciaddr and come to the
1283 server via a relay aget has been repaired.
1284
6da113fb
DH
1285 Changes since 3.0.4
1286
1287- A warning that host statements declared within subnet or shared-network
1288 scopes are actually global has been added.
1289
1290- The default minimum lease time (if min-lease-time was not specified)
1291 was raised from 0 to 300. 0 is not thought to be sensible, and is
1292 known to be damaging.
1293
1294- Added additional fatal error sanity checks surrounding lease binding
1295 state count calculations (free/active counts used for failover pool
1296 balancing).
1297

DH
1298- Some time value size fixes in 3.0.4 brought on from FreeBSD /usr/ports were
1299 misapplied to server values rather than client values. The server no longer
1300 advertises 8-byte lease-time options when on 64-bit platforms.
1301

DH
1302- A bug where leases not in ACTIVE state would get billed to billed classes
1303 (classes with lease limitations) was fixed. Non-active leases OFFERed
1304 to clients are no longer billed (but billing is checked before offering).

DH
1306- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated in regard to the ddns-domainname
1307 configuration option - the default configuration and results should be
1308 more clear now.

DH
1310- If the dhclient were to receive a DHCPNAK while it was in the RENEW
1311 state (and consequently, had an active, 'bound' address and related
1312 configuration options), it would fail to 'tear down' this information
1313 before proceeding into INIT state. dhclient now iterates the dhclient-
1314 script with the 'EXPIRE' action to cause these teardowns prior to entering
1d3bfb17 1315 INIT state. Thanks to a patch from Chris Zimmerman.

1317- The omapi.1 manpage had some formatting errors repaired thanks to a patch
1318 from Yoshihiko Sarumaru.
1319

DH
1320- A few lines of code that were failover-specific were moved within
1321 #if defined() clauses so that compilation without failover could be
1322 made possible.

DH
1324- The log message emitted when the 'leased-address' value was not available
1325 in dhcpd.conf "executable statements" has been updated to be more helpful.
1326 Manpage information for this value has also been updated.

1328- Abandoned or dissociated (err condition) leases now remove any related
1329 dynamic dns bindings. Thanks to a patch from Patrick Schoo.

DH
1331- Attempting to write a new lease file to replace a corrupt (due to
1332 encountering non-retryable errors during writing) lease file should
1333 no longer result in an infinite recursion.
1334
2178df03
DH
1335- Host declaration hardware addresses and client identifiers may only be
1336 configured once. dhcpd will now fail to load config files that specify
1337 multiple identifiers (previous versions would silently over-ride the
1338 value with the later configured value).

SK
1340- Several option codes that have been allocated since our last release
1341 have been named and documented.
1342
1343- Option names of the form "unknown-123" have been removed from the in-
1344 memory hash tables. In order to support options of these names that
1345 may appear in dhclient.leases or similar in previous versions, the
1346 parser will now find the new option code definition, or mock up a
1347 generic option code definition. This should result in a smooth
1348 transition from one name to the other, as the new name is used to
1349 write new output.

1358- Some manual pages were clarified pursuant to discussion on the dhcp-server
1359 mailing list.

1361 Changes since 3.0.4b2
1362
45d545f0 1363- Null-termination sensing for certain clients that unfortunately require
88cd8aca
DH
1364 it in DHCPINFORM processing was repaired.
1365
1366- The host-name option and a few others were moved from "X" format to "t"
1367 format to be compatible with new NULL handling functions.
1368
1369- DHCPINFORM processing is a little more careful about return addressing
1370 its responses, or if responding via a relay. The INFORM related
1371 messages also log the 'effective client ip address' rather than the
1372 client's supplied ciaddr (since some clients produce null ciaddrs).
1373
1374- The server was inappropriately sending leases to the RESET state in the
1375 event that multiple active leases were found to match a singly-identified
1376 client. This was changed to RELEASED (by accepting a different, ACTIVE
1377 binding, the client is implicitly releasing its lease). This repairs a
1378 bug wherein secondary servers in failover pairs detecting this condition
1379 move leases to RESET, and primaries refuse to accept that state
1380 transition (properly).
1381
1382- The memset-after-dmalloc() changes made in 3.0.4b1 have been backed out.
1383
1384 Changes since 3.0.4b1
1385
1386- Command line parsing in omshell was repaired - it no longer closes
1387 STDIN after reading one line.
1388
1389- The resolver library no longer closes the /etc/resolv.conf file
1390 descriptor it opened twice.
1391
1392- Changes to trailing NULL removal in 't' option-atoms has been rethought,
1393 it now includes 'd' (domain name) types, and tries hard not to rewind an
1394 option beyond the start of the text field it is un-terminating.
1395
1396 Changes since 3.0.3
1397
1398- A DDNS update handling function was misusing the DNS error codes, rather
1399 than the internal generic result enumeration. The result is a confusing
1400 syslog line, logging the wrong condition.
1401
1402- The DHCP Server was not checking pool balance in the case where it brought
1403 a non-ACTIVE lease out of storage for a client that was returning to use
1404 a lease it once had long ago, and had since expired.
1405
1406- Failover peers no longer bother to look for free leases to allocate when
1407 they already found the client's ACTIVE lease. DISCOVERs are load balanced
98bd7ca0 1408 whether freely-allocated or not, unless the server doubts the peer has
88cd8aca
DH
1409 leases to allocate.
1410
1411- Fixed a bug in dhcrelay agent addition code that suppressed trailing
45d545f0 1412 PAD options - it was suppressing only one trailing PAD option, rather
88cd8aca
DH
1413 than the entire block of them.
1414
3a16098f
DH
1415! Fixed some unlikely overlapping-region memcpy() bugs in dhcrelay agent
1416 option addition and stripping code. Added a few sanity checks. Although
1417 highly improbable, due to requiring the reception of a DHCP datagram well
1418 in excess of all known to be used physical MTU limitations, it is possible
1419 this may have been used in a stack overflow security vulnerability. Thanks
1420 to a patch from infamous42md.
1421
1422! Added some sanity checks to OMAPI connection/authentication code.
1423 Although highly improbable, due to having to deliver in excess of 2^32
1424 bytes of data via the OMAPI channel, not to mention requiring dhcpd to
1425 be able to malloc() a memory region 2^32 bytes in size, it was possible
1426 this might have resulted in a heap overflow security vulnerability.
1427 Thanks to a patch from infamous42md.

DH
1428
1429- dmalloc() memset()'s the non-debug (data) portion of the allocated
1430 memory to zero. Code that memset()'s the result returned by dmalloc() to
1431 zero is redundant. These redundancies were removed.
1432
1433- Some type declaration corrections to u_int16_t were made in common/tr.c
4b97eaff 1434 (Token Ring support) thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.

DH
1435
1436- A failover bug that was allowing leases that EXPIRED or were RELEASED
1437 where tsfp and tstp are identical timestamps to languish in these
1438 transitional states has been repaired. As a side effect, lease
1439 databases should be kept more consistent overall, not just for these
1440 transitional states.
1441
1442- If the lease db is deleted out from under the daemon, and it moves to rewrite
1443 the db, it will go ahead with the operation and move the new db into place
1444 once it detects the old db does not exist.
1445
1446- dhclient now ignores IRDA, SIT, and IEEE1394 network interfaces, as it
1447 is either nonsensical or (in the case of IEEE1394) is not known to support
1448 these interfaces. Thanks to Marius Gedminas and Andrew Pollock of Debian.
1449
1450- Some previously undocumented reasons for dhclient-script invoking has
45d545f0 1451 been documented in the dhclient-script.8 manpage.

DH
1452
1453- Failover potential expiry calculations (TSTP) have been corrected. Results
1454 should be substantially more consistent, and proper given the constraints.
1455
1456- Adjusted lease state validation checks in potential-conflict, to
1457 account for possible clock skew similarly to normal state, and several
1458 previously illegal transitions were made legal (ex: active->released).
1459
1460- An impossible sanity check was removed from omapi/buffer.c, thanks to a
1461 patch from 'infamous42md'.
1462
1463- An OMAPI host/network byte order problem in lease time values has been
1464 repaired.
1465
1466- Several minor bugs, largely relating to treating 8-byte time values as
1467 4-byte entities, have been repaired after careful review of the FreeBSD
1468 ports collection's patch set. Thanks to the nameless entities who have
1469 contributed to the FreeBSD ports.
1470
1471- When writing a trace file, the file is now created with permissions 0600,
1472 to help administrators avoid accidentally publicising sensitive config
1473 data.
1474
1475- The calculation of the maximum size of DHCP packets no longer includes
1476 Ethernet framing overhead. The result is that the 'Maximum Message
1477 Size' option advertised by clients, or the default value 576, is no
1478 longer reduced by 14 bytes, and instead directly reflects the IP level
1479 MTU (and the default, minimum allowed IP MTU of 576).
1480
1481- The special status of RELEASED/EXPIRED/RESET leases when a server
1482 is operating in partner-down was fixed. It no longer requires a
1483 lease be twice the MCLT beyond STOS to 'reallocate', and the expiry
1484 event to turn these into FREE leases without peer acknowledgement
1485 (after STOS+MCLT) has been repaired.
1486
1487- Compilation on older Solaris systems (lacking /usr/include/sys/int_types.h)
1488 has been repaired.
1489
1490- "append"ing a string onto the end of a "t" type option (such as the
1491 domain-name field) that had been improperly NULL-terminated by the
1492 DHCP server will no longer result in a truncated string containing
1493 only the option from the server, and not the expected appended value.
4b97eaff 1494 Thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
88cd8aca
DH
1495
1496- File handlers on configuration state (config files and lease dbs) should
98bd7ca0 1497 be treated consistently, regardless of whether TRACING is defined or not.
88cd8aca 1498
45d545f0 1499- The Linux build environment has had some minor improvements - better
88cd8aca
DH
1500 sensing of 64-bit pointer sizes (only used for establishing an icmp_id),
1501 and corrections to #if operators regarding LINUX_MAJOR should it ever
1502 move to 3.[01].x.
1503
1504- The server now tries harder to survive the condition where it is unable
1505 to open a new lease file to rewrite the lease state database.

1507 Changes since 3.0.3b3
1508
1509- dhclient.conf documentation for interface {} was updated to reflect recent
1510 discussion on the dhcp-hackers mailing list.
1511
1512- In response to reports that the software does not compile on GCC 4.0.0,
1513 -Werror was removed from Makefile.conf for all platforms that used it.
1514 We will address the true problem in a future release; this is a temporary
1515 workaround.
1516
1517 Changes since 3.0.3b2
1518
1519- An error in code changes introduced in 3.0.3b2 was corrected, which caused
1520 static BOOTP clients to receive random addresses.
1521
1522 Changes since 3.0.3b1
1523
1524- A bug was fixed in BOOTPREQUEST handling code wherein stale references to
1525 host records would be left behind on leases that were not allocated to the
1526 client currently booting (eg in the case where the host was denied booting).
1527
1528- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated to be more clear in regards to
1529 multiple host declarations (thanks to Vincent McIntyre). 'Interim' style
1530 dynamic updates were also retouched.

DH
1532 Changes since 3.0.2
1533
1534- A bug was fixed where a server might load balance a DHCP REQUEST to its
45d545f0 1535 peer after already choosing not to load balance the preceding DISCOVER.
98311e4b
DH
1536 The peer cannot allocate the originating server's lease.
1537
1538- In the case where a secondary server lost its stable storage while the
1539 primary was still in communications-interrupted, and came back online,
1540 the lease databases would not be fully transferred to the secondary.
1541 This was due to the secondary errantly sending an extra UPDREQ message
1542 when the primary made its state transition to PARTNER-DOWN known.
1543
1544- The package will now compile cleanly in gcc 3.3 and 3.4. As a side effect,
1545 lease structures will be 9 bytes smaller on all platforms. Thanks to
4b97eaff 1546 Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
1547
1548- Interface discovery code in DISCOVER_UNCONFIGURED mode is now
1549 properly restricted to only detecting broadcast interfaces. Thanks
4b97eaff 1550 to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
1551
1552- decode_udp_ip_header was changed so that the IP address was copied out
1553 to a variable, rather than referenced by a pointer. This enforces 4-byte
1554 alignment of the 32-bit IP address value. Thanks to a patch from Dr.
1555 Peter Poeml.
1556
1557- An incorrect log message was corrected thanks to a patch from
1558 Dr. Peter Poeml.
1559
1560- A bug in DDNS was repaired, where if the server's first DDNS action was
1561 a DDNS removal rather than a DDNS update, the resolver library's
1562 retransmit timer and retry timer was set to the default, implying a
1563 15 second timeout interval. Which is a little excessive in a synchronous,
1564 single-threaded system. In all cases, ISC DHCP should now hold fast to
1565 a 1-second timeout, trying only once.
1566
1567- The siaddr field was being improperly set to the server-identifier when
1568 responding to DHCP messages. RFC2131 clarified the siaddr field as
1569 meaning the 'next server in the bootstrap process', eg a tftp server.
1570 The siaddr field is now left zeroed unless next-server is configured.
1571
1572- mockup_lease() could have returned in an error condition (or in the
1573 condition where no fixed-address was found matching the shared
1574 network) with stale references to a host record. This is probably not
1575 a memory leak since host records generally never die anyway.
1576
1577- A bug was repaired where failover servers would let stale client identifiers
1578 persist on leases that were reallocated to new clients not sending an id.
1579
1580- Binding scopes ("set var = value;") are now removed from leases allocated
1581 by failover peers if the lease had expired. This should help reduce the
1582 number of stale binding scopes on leases.
1583
1584- A small memory leak was closed involving client identifiers larger than
1585 7 bytes, and failover.
1586
1587- Configuring a subnet in dhcpd.conf with a subnet mask of 32 bits might
1588 cause an internal function to overflow heap. Thanks to Jason Vas Dias
4b97eaff 1589 at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
1590
1591- Some inconsistencies in treating numbers that the lexer parsed as 'NUMBER'
1592 or 'NUMBER_OR_NAME' was repaired. Hexadecimal parsing is affected, and
1593 should work better.
1594
1595- In several cases, parse warnings were being issued before the lexical
1596 token had been advanced to the token whose value was causing an error...
1597 causing parse warnings to claim the problem is on the wrong token.
1598
1599- Host declarations matching on client identifier for dynamic leases will
1600 no longer match fixed-address host declarations (this is now identical
1601 to behaviour for host records matching on hardware address).
1602
1603 Changes since 3.0.2rc3
1604
1605- A previously undocumented configuration directive, 'local-address',
1606 was documented in the dhcpd.conf manpage.
1607
1608 Changes since 3.0.2rc2
1609
45d545f0 1610- Two variables introduced in 3.0.2b1 were used without being initialized
98311e4b
DH
1611 in the case where neither the FILE nor SNAME fields were available for
1612 overloading. This was repaired.
1613
1614- A heretofore believed to be impossible corner case of the option
1615 overloading implementation turned out to be possible ("Unable to sort
1616 overloaded options after 10 tries."). The implementation was reworked
1617 to consider the case of an option so large it would require more than
1618 three chunks to fit.
1619
1620- Many other instances of variables being used without being initialized
1621 were repaired.
1622
1623- An uninitialized variable in omapi_io_destroy() led to the discovery
1624 that this function may result in orphaned pointers (and hence, a memory
1625 leak).
1626
1627 Changes since 3.0.2rc1
1628
1629- allocate_lease() was rewritten to repair a bug in which the server would
1630 try to allocate an ABANDONED lease when FREE leases were available.
1631
1632 Changes since 3.0.2b1
1633
1634- Some dhcp-eval.5 manpage formatting was repaired.
1635
1636 Changes since 3.0.1
1637
1638- A bug was fixed in the server's 'option overloading' implementation,
1639 where options loaded into the 'file' and 'sname' packet fields were
1640 not aligned precisely as rfc2131 dictates.
1641
1642- The FreeBSD client script was changed to support the case where a domain
1643 name was not provided by the server.
1644
1645- A memory leak in 'omshell' per each command line parsed was
1646 repaired, thanks to a patch from Jarkko Torppa.
1647
1648- Log functions writing to stderr were adjusted to use the STDERR_FILENO
1649 system definition rather than '2'. This is a no-op for 90% of platforms.
1650
1651- One call to trace_write_packet_iov() counted the number of io vectors
1652 incorrectly, causing inconsistent tracefiles. This was fixed.
1653
1654- Some expression parse failure memory leaks were closed.
1655
1656- A host byte order problem in tracefiles was repaired.
1657
1658- Pools configured in DHCPD for failover possessing permission lists that
1659 previously were assumed to not include dyanmic bootp clients are now
1660 a little more pessimistic. The result is, dhcpd will nag you about just
1661 about most pools that possess a 'allow' statement with no 'deny' that
1662 would definitely match a dynamic bootp client.
1663
1664- The 'ddns-update-style' configuration warning bit now insists that
1665 the configuration be globally scoped.
1666
1667- Two memory leaks in dhclient were closed thanks to a patch from Felix
1668 Farkas.
1669
1670- Some minor but excellently pedantic documentation errors were fixed
1671 thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
1672
1673- Bugs in operator precedence in executable statements have been repaired
1674 once again. More legal syntaxes should be parsed legally.
1675
1676- Failing to initialize a tracefile for any reason if a tracefile was
1677 specified is now a fatal error. Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
1678
1679- Corrected a bug in which the number of leases transferred as calculated
1680 by the failover primary and sent to peers in POOLRESP responses may be
1681 incorrect. This value is not believed to be used by other failover
1682 implementations, excepting perhaps as logged information.
1683
1684- Corrected a bug in which 'dhcp_failover_send_poolresp()' was in fact
1685 sending POOLREQ messages instead of POOLRESP mesasges. This message
1686 was essentially ignored since failover secondaries effectively do not
1687 respond to POOLREQ messages.
1688
1689- Type definitions for various bitwidths of integers in the sunos5-5
1690 build of ISC DHCP have been fixed. It should compile and run more
1691 easily when built in 64-bit for this platform.
1692
1693- "allow known-clients;" is now a legal syntax, to avoid confusion.
1694
1695- If one dhcp server chooses to 'load balance' a request to its failover
1696 peer, it first checks to see if it believes said peer has a free
1697 lease to allocate before ignoring the DISCOVER.
1698
1699- log() was logging a work buffer, rather than the value returned by
1700 executing the statements configured by the user. In some cases,
1701 the work buffer and the intended results were the same. In some other
1702 cases, they were not. This was fixed thanks to a patch from Gunnar
1703 Fjone and directconnect.no.
1704
1705- Compiler warnings for some string type conversions was fixed, thanks
1706 to Andreas Gustafsson.
1707
1708- The netbsd build environments were simplified to one, in which
1709 -Wconversion is not used, thanks to Andreas Gustafsson.
1710
1711- How randomness in the backoff-cutoff dhclient configuration variable
1712 is implemented was better documented in the manpage, and the behaviour
1713 of dhclient in REQUEST timeout handling was changed to match that of
1714 DISCOVER timeout handling.
1715
1716- Omapi was hardened against clients that pass in null values, thanks
1717 to a patch from Mark Jason Dominus.
1718
1719- A bug was fixed in dhclient that kept it from doing client-side
1720 ddns updates. Thanks to a patch from Andreas Gustafsson, which
1721 underwent some modification after review by Jason Vas Dias.
1722
1723- Failover implementations disconnected due to the network between
1724 them (rather than one of the two shutting down) will now try to
1725 re-establish the failover connection every 5 seconds, rather than
1726 to simply try once and give up until one of them is restarted.
1727 Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from Infoblox, and field testing
1728 by Greger V. Teigre which led to an enhancement to it.
1729
1730- A problem that kept DHCP Failover secondaries from tearing down
1731 ddns records was repaired. Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from
1732 Infoblox.
1733
1734- 64bit pointer sizes are detected properly on FreeBSD now.
1735
1736- A bug was repaired where the DHCP server would leave stale references
1737 to host records on leases it once thought about offering to certain
1738 clients. The result would be to apply host and 'known' scopes to the
1739 wrong clients (possibly denying booting). NOTE: The 'mis-host' patch
1740 that was being circulated as a workaround is not the way this bug was
1741 fixed. If you were a victim of this bug in 3.0.1, you are cautioned
1742 to proceed carefully and see if it fixes your problem.
1743
1744- A bug was repaired in the server's DHCPINFORM handling, where it
1745 tried to divine the client's address from the source packet and
1746 would get it wrong. Thanks to Anshuman Singh Rawat.
1747
1748- A log message was introduced to help illuminate the case where the
1749 server was unable to find a lease to assign to any BOOTP client.
1750 Thanks to Daniel Baker.
1751
1752- A minor dhcpd.conf.5 manpage error was fixed.
1753
1754 Changes since 3.0.1rc14
1755
1756- The global variable 'cur_time' was centralized and is now uniformly of a
1757 type #defined in system-dependent headers. It had previously been defined
1758 in one of many places as a 32-bit value, and this causes mayhem on 64-bit
1759 big endian systems. It probably wasn't too healthy on little endian
1760 systems either.
1761
1762- A printf format string error introduced in rc14 was repaired.
1763
1764- AIX system-dependent header file was altered to only define NO_SNPRINTF
1765 if the condition used to #ifdef in vsnprintf in AIX' header files
1766 is false.
1767
1768- The Alpha/OSF system-dependent header file was altered to define
1769 NO_SNPRINTF on OS revisions older than 4.0G.
1770
1771- omapip/test.c had string.h added to its includes.
1772
1773 Changes since 3.0.1rc13
1774
1775! CAN-2004-0460 - CERT VU#317350: Five stack overflow exploits were closed
1776 in logging messages with excessively long hostnames provided by the
1777 clients. It is highly probable that these could have been used by
1778 attackers to gain arbitrary root access on systems using ISC DHCP 3.0.1
1779 release candidates 12 or 13. Special thanks to Gregory Duchemin for
1780 both finding and solving the problem.
1781
1782! CAN-2004-0461 - CERT VU#654390: Once the above was closed, an opening
45d545f0 1783 in log_*() functions was evidenced, on some specific platforms where
98311e4b
DH
1784 vsnprintf() was not believed to be available and calls were wrapped to
1785 sprintf() instead. Again, credit goes to Gregory Duchemin for finding
1786 the problem. Calls to snprintf() are now linked to a distribution-local
1787 snprintf implementation, only in those cases where the architecture is
1788 not known to provide one (see includes/cf/[arch].h). If you experience
1789 linking problems with snprintf/vsnprintf or 'isc_print_' functions, this
1790 is where to look. This vulnerability did not exist in any previously
1791 published version of ISC DHCP.
1792
1793- Compilation on hpux 11.11 was repaired.
1794
1795- 'The cross-compile bug fix' was backed out.
1796
1797 Changes since 3.0.1rc12
1798
1799- Fixed a bug in omapi lease lookup function, to form the hardware
1800 address for the hash lookup correctly, thanks to a patch from
1801 Richard Hirst.
1802
1803- Fixed a bug where dhcrelay was sending relayed responses back to the
1804 broadcast address, but with the source's unicast mac address. Should
1805 now conform to rfc2131 section 4.1.
1806
1807- Cross-compile bug fix; use $(AR) instead of ar. Thanks to Morten Brorup.
1808
1809- Fixed a crash bug in dhclient where dhcpd servers that do not provide
1810 renewal times results in an FPE. As a side effect, dhclient can now
1811 properly handle 0xFFFFFFFF (-1) expiry times supplied by servers. Thanks
1812 to a patch from Burt Silverman.
1813
1814- The 'ping timeout' debugs from rc12 were removed to -DDEBUG only,
45d545f0 1815 and reformatted to correct a compilation error on Solaris platforms.
98311e4b
DH
1816
1817- A patch was applied which fixes a case where leases read from the
1818 leases database do not properly over-ride previously read leases.
1819
1820- dhcpctl.3 manpage was tweaked.
1821
1822 Changes since 3.0.1rc11
1823
1824- A patch from Steve Campbell was applied with minor modifications to
1825 permit reverse dns PTR record updates with values containing spaces.
1826
1827- A patch from Florian Lohoff was applied with some modifications to
1828 dhcrelay. It now discards packets whose hop count exceeds 10 by default,
1829 and a command-line option (-c) can be used to set this threshold.
1830
1831- A failover bug relating to identifying peers by name length instead of
1832 by name was fixed.
1833
45d545f0 1834- Declaring failover configs within shared-network statements should no
98311e4b
DH
1835 longer result in error.
1836
1837- The -nw command line option to dhclient now works.
1838
1839- Thanks to a patch from Michael Richardson:
1840 - Some problems with long option processing have been fixed.
1841 - Some fixes to minires so that updates of KEY records will work.
1842
1843- contrib/ms2isc was updated by Shu-Min Chang of the Intel Corporation.
1844 see contrib/ms2isc/readme.txt for revision notes.
1845
1846- Dhclient no longer uses shell commands to kill another instance of
1847 itself, it sends the signal directly. Thanks to a patch from Martin
1848 Blapp.
1849
1850- The FreeBSD dhclient-script was changed so that a failure to write to
1851 /etc/resolv.conf does not prematurely end the script. This keeps dhclient
1852 from looping infinitely when this is the case. Thanks to a patch from
1853 Martin Blapp.
1854
1855- A patch from Bill Stephens was applied which resolves a problem with lease
1856 expiry times in failover configurations.
1857
1858- A memory leak in configuration parsing was closed thanks to a patch from
1859 Steve G.
1860
1861- The function which discovers interfaces will now skip non-broadcast or
1862 point-to-point interfaces, thanks to a patch from David Brownlee.
1863
1864- Options not yet known by the dhcpd or dhclient have had their names
1865 changed such that they do not contain # symbols, in case they should ever
1866 appear in a lease file. An option that might have been named "#144" is
1867 now "unknown-144".
1868
1869- Another patch from Bill Stephens which allows the ping-check timeout to
1870 be configured as 'ping-timeout'. Defaults to 1.
1871
1872 Changes since 3.0.1rc10
1873
1874- Potential buffer overflows in minires repaired.
1875
1876- A change to the linux client script to use /bin/bash, since /bin/sh may
1877 not be bash.
1878
1879- Some missing va_end cleanups thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
1880
1881- A correction of boolean parsing syntax validation - some illegal syntaxes
1882 that worked before are now detected and produce errs, some legal syntaxes
1883 that errored before will now work properly.
1884
1885- Some search-and-replace errors that caused some options to change their
1886 names was repaired.
1887
1888- Shu-min Chang of the Intel corporation has contributed a perl script and
1889 module that converts the MS NT4 DHCP configuration to a ISC DHCP3
1890 configuration file.
1891
1892- Applied the remainder of the dhcpctl memory leak patch provided by Bill
1893 Squier at ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
1894
1895- Missing non-optional failover peer configurations will now result in a soft
1896 error rather than a null dereference.
1897
1898 Changes since 3.0.1rc9
1899
1900- A format string was corrected to fix compiler warnings.
1901
1902- A number of spelling corrections were made in the man pages.
1903
1904- The dhclient.conf.5 man page was changed to refer to do-forward-updates
1905 rather than a configuration option that doesn't exist.
1906
1907- A FreeBSD-specific bug in the interface removal handling was fixed.
1908
1909- A Linux-specific Token Ring detection problem was fixed.
1910
1911- Hashes removed from as-yet-unknown agent options, having those options
1912 appear in reality before we know about them will no longer produce
1913 self-corrupting lease databases.
1914
1915- dhclient will use the proper port numbers now when using the -g option.
1916
1917- A order-of-operations bug with 2 match clauses in 1 class statement is
1918 fixed thanks to a patch from Andrew Matheson.
1919
1920- Compilation problems on Solaris were fixed.
1921
1922- Compilation problems when built with DEBUG or DEBUG_PACKET were repaired.
1923
1924- A fix to the dhcp ack process which makes certain group options will be
1925 included in the first DHCPOFFER message was made thanks to a patch from
1926 Ling Gou.
1927
1928- A few memory leaks were repaired thanks to patches from Bill Squier at
1929 ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
1930
1931- A fix for shared-networks that sometimes give clients options for the
1932 wrong subnets (in particular, 'option routers') was applied, thanks to
1933 Ted Lemon for the patch.
1934
1935- Omshell's handling of dotted octets as values was changed such that dots
1936 one after the other produce zero values in the integer string.
1937
1938 Changes since 3.0.1rc8
1939
1940- Fix a format string vulnerability in the server that could lead to a
1941 remote root compromise (discovered by NGSEC Research Team, www.ngsec.com).
1942
1943- Add additional support for NetBSD/sparc64.
1944
1945- Fix a bug in the command-line parsing of the client. Also, resolve
1946 a memory leak.
1947
1948- Add better support for shells other than bash in the Linux client
1949 script.
1950
1951- Various build fixes for modern versions of FreeBSD and Linux.
1952
1953- Fix a bad bounds check when printing binding state names.
1954
1955- Clarify documentation about fixed-address and multiple addresses.
1956
1957- Fix a typo in the authoritative error message.
1958
1959- Make a log entry when we can't write a billing class.
1960
1961- Use conversion targets that are the right size on all architectures.
1962
1963- Increment the hop count when relaying.
1964
1965- Log a message when lease state is changed through OMAPI.
1966
1967- Don't rerun the shared_network when evaluating the pool.
1968
1969- Fix a reversed test in the parser.
1970
1971- Change the type of rbuf_max.
1972
1973- Make FTS_LAST a manifest constant to quiet warnings.
1974
1975 Changes since 3.0.1rc7
1976
1977- Fix two compiler warnings that are generated when compiling on Solaris
1978 with gcc. These stop the build, even though they weren't actually
1979 errors, because we prefer that our builds generate no warnings.
1980
1981 Changes since 3.0.1rc6
1982
1983- Don't allow a lease that's in the EXPIRED, RELEASED or RESET state
1984 to be renewed.
1985
1986- Implement lease stealing for cases where the primary has fewer leases
1987 than the secondary, as called for by the standard.
1988
1989- Add a fudge factor to the lease expiry acceptance code, (suggested
1990 by Kevin Miller of CMU).
1991
1992- Fix a bug in permit_list_match that made it much too willing to say
1993 that two permit lists matched.
1994
1995- Unless DEBUG_DNS_UPDATES is defined, print more user-friendly (and
1996 also more compact) messages about DNS updates.
1997
1998- Fix a bug in generating wire-format domain names for the FQDN option.
1999
2000- Fix a bug where the FQDN option would not be returned if the client
2001 requested it, contrary to the standard.
2002
2003- On Darwin, use the FreeBSD DHCP client script.
2004
2005- On NetBSD/sparc, don't check for casting warnings.
2006
2007- Add a flag in the DHCP client to disable updating the client's A
2008 record when sending an FQDN option indicating that the client is
2009 going to update its A record.
2010
2011- In the client, don't attempt a DNS update until one second after
2012 configuring the new IP address, and if the update times out, keep
2013 trying until a response, positive or negative, is received from the
2014 DNS server.
2015
2016- Fix an uninitialized memory bug in the DHCP client.
2017
2018- Apply some FreeBSD-specific bug fixes suggested by Murray Stokely.
2019
2020- Fix a bug in ns_parserr(), where it was returning the wrong sort
2021 of result code in some cases (suggested by Ben Harris of the
2022 NetBSD project).
2023
2024- Fix a bug in is_identifier(), where it was checking against EOF
2025 instead of the END_OF_FILE token (also suggested by Ben Harris).
2026
2027- Fix a bug where if an option universe contained no options, the
2028 DHCP server could dump core (Walter Steiner).
2029
2030- Fix a bug in the handling of encapsulated options.
2031
2032- Fix a bug that prevented NWIP suboptions from being processed.
2033
2034- Delete the FTS_BOOTP and FTS_RESERVED states and implement them
2035 as modifier flags to the FTS_ACTIVE state, as called for in the
2036 failover protocol standard.
2037
2038- Fix bugs in the pool merging code that resulted in references and
2039 dereferences of null pointers. This bug had no impact unless the
2040 POINTER_DEBUG flag was defined.
2041
2042- In the server, added a do-forward-updates flag that can be used to
2043 disable forward updates in all cases, so that sites that want the
2044 clients to take sole responsibility for updating their A record can
2045 do so.
2046
2047- Make it possible to disable optimization of PTR record updates.
2048
2049 Changes since 3.0.1rc5
2050
2051- Include some new documentation and changes provided by Karl Auer.
2052
2053- Add a workaround for some Lexmark printers that send a double-NUL-
2054 terminated host-name option, which would break DNS updates.
2055
2056- Fix an off-by-one error in the MAC-address checking code for
2057 DHCPRELEASE that was added in 3.0.1rc5.
2058
2059- Fix a bug where client-specific information was not being discarded
2060 from the lease when it expired or was released, resulting in
2061 problems if the lease was reallocated to a different client.
2062
2063- If more than one allocation pool is specified that has the same set
2064 of constraints as another allocation pool on the same shared
2065 network, merge the two pools.
2066
2067- Don't print an error in fallback_discard, since this just causes
2068 confusion and does not appear to be helping to encourage anyone to
2069 fix this bug.
2070
2071 Changes since 3.0.1rc4
2072
2073- Fix a bug that would cause the DHCP server to spin if asked to parse
2074 a certain kind of incorrect statement.
2075
2076- Fix a related bug that would prevent an error from being reported in
2077 the same case.
2078
2079- Additional documentation.
2080
2081- Make sure that the hardware address matches the lease when
2082 processing a DHCPRELEASE message.
2083
2084 Changes since 3.0.1rc3
2085
2086- A minor bug fix in the arguments to a logging function call.
2087- Documentation update for dhcpd.conf.
2088
adbef119 2089 Changes since 3.0.1rc2
98311e4b
DH
2090
2091- Allow the primary to send a POOLREQ message. This isn't what the current
2092 failover draft says to do, so we may have to back it out if I can't get the
2093 authors to relent, but the scheme for balancing that's specified in the
2094 current draft seems needlessly hairy, so I'm floating a trial balloon.
2095 The rc1 code did not implement the method described in the draft either.
2096
adbef119 2097 Changes since 3.0.1rc1
98311e4b
DH
2098
2099- Treat NXDOMAIN and NXRRSET as success when we are trying to delete a
2100 domain or RRSET. This allows the DHCP server to forget about a name
2101 it added to the DNS once it's been removed, even if the DHCP server
2102 wasn't the one that removed it.
2103
2104- Install defaults for failover maximum outstanding updates and maximum
2105 silent time. This prevents problems that might occur if these values
2106 were not configured.
2107
2108- Don't do DDNS deletes if ddns-update-style is none.
2109
2110- Return relay agent information options in DHCPNAK. This prevents DHCPNAK
2111 messages from being dropped when the relay agent information option contains
2112 routing information.
2113
2114- Fix a problem where coming up in recover wouldn't result in an update
2115 request being sent.
2116
2117- Add some more chatty messages when we start a recovery update and when it's
2118 done.
2119
2120- Fix a possible problem where some state might have been left around
2121 after the peer lost contact and regained contact about how many updates
2122 were pending.
2123
2124- Don't nix a lease update because of a lease conflict. This test has
2125 never (as far as I know) prevented a mistake, and it appears to cause
2126 problems with failover.
2127
2128- Add support in rc history code for keeping a selective history, rather
2129 than a history of all references and dereferences. This code is only used
2130 when extensive additional debugging is enabled.
2131
adbef119 2132 Changes since 3.0
98311e4b
DH
2133
2134- Make allocators for hash tables. As a side effect, this fixes a memory
2135 smash in the subclass allocation code.
2136
2137- Fix a small bug in omshell where if you try to close an object when
2138 no object is open, it dumps core.
2139
2140- Fix an obscure coredump that could occur on shutdown.
2141
2142- Fix a bug in the recording of host declaration rubouts in the lease file.
2143
2144- Fix two potential spins in the host deletion code.
2145
2146- Fix a core dump that would happen if an application tried to update
2147 a host object attribute with a null value.
2148
2149 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 12
2150
2151- Fix a memory leak in the evaluation code.
2152
2153- Fix an obscure core dump.
2154
2155- Print a couple of new warnings when parsing the configuration file
2156 when crucial information is left out.
2157
2158- Log "no free leases" as an error.
2159
2160- Documentation updates.
2161
2162 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 11
2163
2164- Always return a subnet selection option if one is sent.
2165
2166- Fix a warning that was being printed because an automatic data
2167 structure wasn't zeroed.
2168
2169- Fix some failover state transitions that were being handled
2170 incorrectly.
2171
2172- When supersede_lease is called on a lease whose end time has already
2173 expired, but for which a state transition has not yet been done, do
2174 a state transition. This fixes the case where if the secondary
2175 allocated a lease to a client and the lease "expired" while the
2176 secondary was in partner-down, no expiry event would actually
2177 happen, so the lease would remain active until the primary was
2178 restarted.
2179
2180 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 10
2181
2182- Fix a bug that was preventing released leases from changing state
2183 in failover-enabled pools.
2184
2185- Fix a core dump in the client identifier finder code (for host
2186 declarations).
2187
2188- Finish fixing a bug where bogus data would sometimes get logged to
2189 the dhclient.leases file because it was opened as descriptor 2.
2190
2191- Fix the Linux dhclient-script according to suggestions made by
2192 several people on the dhcp-client mailing list.
2193
2194- Log successful DNS updates at LOG_INFO, not LOG_ERROR.
2195
2196- Print an error message and refuse to run if a failover peer is
2197 defined but not referenced by any pools.
2198
2199- Correct a confusing error message in failover.
2200
eaf0b302

TL
2213 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8 Patchlevel 1
2214
2215- Fix a parsing bug that broke dns updates (both interim and ad-hoc).
2216 This was introduced in rc8pl1 as an unintended result of the memory
2217 leakage fixes that were in pl1.
2218
2219- Fix a long-standing bug where the server would record that an update
2220 had been done for a client with no name, even though no update had
2221 been done, and then when the client's lease expired the deletion of
2222 that nonexistant record would time out because the name was the null
2223 string.
2224
2225- Clean up the omshell, dhcpctl and omapi man pages a bit.
2226
d758ad8c
TL
2227 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8
2228
2229- Fix a bug that could cause the DHCP server to spin if
2230 one-lease-per-client was enabled.
2231
2232- Fix a bug that was causing core dumps on BSD/os in the presence of
2233 malformed packets.
2234
2235- In partner-down state, don't restrict lease lengths to MCLT.
2236
2237- On the failover secondary, record the MCLT received from the primary
2238 so that if we come up without a connection to the primary we don't
2239 wind up giving out zero-length leases.
2240
2241- Fix some compilation problems on BSD/os.
2242
2243- Fix a bunch of memory leaks.
2244
2245- Fix a couple of bugs in the option printer.
2246
2247- Fix an obscure error reporting bug in the dns update code, and also
2248 make the message clearer when a key algorithm isn't supported.
2249
2250- Fix a bug in the tracing code that prevented trace runs that used
2251 tcp connections from being played back.
2252
2253- Add some additional debugging capability for catching memory leaks
2254 on exit.
2255
2256- Make the client release the lease correctly on shutdown.
2257
2258- Add some configurability to the build system.
2259
2260- Install omshell manual page in man1, not man8.
2261
2262- Craig Gwydir sent in a patch that fixes a long-standing bug in the
2263 DHCP client that could cause core dumps, but that for some reason
2264 hadn't been noticed until now.
2265
2266 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 7
2267
2268- Fix a bug in failover where we weren't sending updates after a
2269 transition from communications-interrupted to normal.
2270
2271- Handle expired/released/reset -> free transition according to the
2272 protocol specification (this works - the other way not only wasn't
2273 conformant, but also didn't work).
2274
2275- Add a control object in both client and server that allows either
2276 daemon to be shut down cleanly.
2277
2278- When writing a lease, if we run out of disk space, shut down the
2279 output file and insist on writing a new one before proceeding.
2280
2281- In the server, if the OMAPI listener port is occupied, keep trying
2282 to get it, rather than simply giving up and exiting.
2283
2284- Support fetching variables from leases and also updating and adding
2285 variables to leases via OMAPI.
2286
2287- If two failover peers have wildly different clocks, refuse to start
2288 doing failover.
2289
2290- Fix a bug in the DNS update code that could cause core dumps when
2291 running on alpha processors.

2296- Add support for Darwin/MacOS X
2297
2298- Install omshell (including new documentation).
2299
2300- Support DNS updates in the client (this is a very obscure feature
2301 that most DHCP client users probably will not be able to use).
2302
2303- Somewhat cleaner status logging in the client.
2304
2305- Make OMAPI key naming syntax compatible with the way keys are
2306 actually named (key names are domain names).
2307
2308- Fix a bug in the lease file writer.
2309
2310- Install DHCP ISC headers in a different place than BIND 9 ISC
2311 headers, to avoid causing trouble in BIND 9 builds.
2312
2313- Don't send updates for attributes on an object when the attributes
2314 haven't changed. Support deleting attributes on remote objects.
2315
2316- Fix a number of bugs in omshell, and add the unset and refresh
2317 statements.
2318
2319- Handle disconnects in OMAPI a little bit more intelligently (so that
2320 the caller gets ECONNRESET instead of EINVAL).
2321
2322- Fix a bunch of bugs in the handling of clients that have existing
2323 leases when the try to renew their leases while failover is
2324 operating.

2329 a client that had a host declaration that contained both a
2330 fixed-address declaration and a dhcp-client-identifier option
2331 declaration, if the client identifier was longer than nine bytes.
2332

2334 using omapi to manipulate leases.

2342 chains from having their reference counts decreased on dereference.
2343

2345 chains from being freed upon removal of the last reference external
2346 to the chain.
2347
2348- Fix a number of other memory leaks in the OMAPI protocol subsystem.
2349
2350- Add code in the OMAPI protocol handler to trace memory leakage.
2351

2364 DHCPDECLINE.
2365
2366- Fix failover peer OMAPI support.
2367
2368- In failover, correctly handle expiration of leases. Previously,
2369 leases would never be reclaimed because they couldn't make the
2370 transition from EXPIRED to FREE.
2371
2372- Fix some broken failover state transitions.
2373
2374- Documentation fixes.
2375
2376- Take out an unnecessary check in DHCP relay agent information option
2377 stashing code that was preventing REBINDING clients from rebinding.
2378
2379- Prevent failover peers from allocating leases in DHCPREQUEST
2380 processing if the lease belongs to the other server.

2383
2384- Correctly report connection errors in OMAPI and failover.
2385

2387 case-insensitive.
2388

98311e4b 2391- If a signature algorithm is not terminated with '.', terminate it so
eaf0b302

2424 committed to be consistent with lease binding states rather than
98311e4b 2425 using the lease end time. This may fix some problems with the
892fe689
TL
2426 billing class code.
2427
2428- Fix a bug where lease updates would fail on Digital Unix (and maybe
2429 others) because malloc was called with a size of zero.

2432 trace file.

TL
2436- Fix the dhcp_failover_put_message to not attempt to allocate a
2437 zero-length buffer. Some versions of malloc() fail if you try to
2438 allocate a zero-length buffer, and this was causing problems on,
2439 e.g., Digital Unix.
2440
2441- Fix a case where the failover code was printing an error message
2442 when no error had occurred.
2443
2444- Fix a problem where when a server went down and back up again, the
2445 peer would not see a state transition and so would stay in the
2446 non-communicating state.
2447
2448- Be smart about going into recover_wait.
2449
2450- Fix a problem in the failover implementation where peers would fail
2451 to come into sync if interrupted in the RECOVER state. This could
2452 have been the cause of some problems people have reported recently.
2453
2454- Fix a problem with billing classes where they would not be unbilled
2455 when the client lease expired.
2456
2457- If select fails, figure out which descriptor is bad, and cut it out
2458 of the I/O loop. This prevents a potentially nasty spin. I
2459 haven't heard any report it in a while, but it came up consistently
2460 in testing.
2461
2462- Fix a bug in the relay agent where if you specified interfaces on
2463 the command line, it would fail.
2464
2465- Fix a couple of small bugs in the omapi connection object (no known
2466 user impact).
2467

2471 they're executable.

2486 a new release candidate is expected shortly.

2513 checked. This may have been causing core dumps.
2514
2515- When parsing the lease file, if a lease declaration includes a
2516 billing class statement, and the lease already has a billing class,
2517 unbill the old class.
2518
2519- When processing failover transactions, where acks will be deferred,
2520 process the state transition immediately.
2521
2522- Don't try to use the new SIOCGIFCONF buffer size detection code on
2523 Linux 2.0, which doesn't provide this functionality.
2524
2525- Apply a patch suggested by Tuan Uong for a problem in dlpi.c.
2526
2527- Fix a problem in using the which command in the configure script.
2528
2529- Fix a parse error in the client when setting up an omapi listener.
2530
2531- Document the -n and -g flags to the client.
2532
2533- Make sure there is always a stdin and stdout on startup. This
2534 prevents shell scripts from accidentally writing error messages into
2535 configuration files that happen to be opened as stderr.
2536
2537- If an interface is removed, the client will now notice that it is
2538 gone rather than spinning. This has only been tested on NetBSD.
2539
2540- The client will attempt to get an address even if it can't create a
2541 lease file.
2542
2543- Don't overwrite tracefiles.
2544
2545- Fix some memory allocation bugs in failover.

2563 pl19.
2564

2566 previous fix only partially fixed the problem - enough to get it
2567 past the regression test.

2587
2588- Implement omshell, which can be used to do arbitrary things to the
2589 server (in theory). (Damien Neil)
2590
2591- Fix a case where if a client had two different leases the server could
2592 actually dereference the second one when it hadn't been referenced,
2593 leading to memory corruption and a core dump. (James Brister)
2594
2595- Fix a case where a client could request the address of another client's
2596 lease, but find_lease wouldn't detect that the other client had it, and
2597 would attempt to allocate it to the client, resulting in a lease conflict
2598 message.
2599
2600- Fix a case where a client with more than one client identifier could be
2601 given a lease where the hardware address was correct but the client
2602 identifier was not, resulting in a lease conflict message.
2603
98311e4b 2604- Fix a problem where the server could write out a colon-separated
3350f5b7
TL
2605 hex list as a value for a variable, which would then not parse.
2606 The fix is to always write strings as quoted strings, with any
2607 non-printable characters quoted as octal escape sequences. So
2608 a file written the old way still won't work, but new files written
2609 this way will work.
2610

2611- Fix documentation for sending non-standard options.
2612
2613- Use unparsable names for unknown options. WARNING: this will
2614 break any configuration files that use the option-nnn convention.
2615 If you want to continue to use this convention for some options,
2616 please be sure to write a definition, like this:
2617
2618 option option-nnn code nnn = string;
2619
2620 You can use a descriptive name instead of option-nnn if you like.
2621
2622- Fix a problem where we would see a DHCPDISCOVER/DHCPOFFER/
2623 DHCPREQUEST/DHCPACK/DHCPREQUEST/DHCPNAK sequence. This was the
2624 result of a deceptively silly bug in supersede_lease.
2625
2626- Fix client script exit status check, according to a fix supplied by
2627 Hermann Lauer.

TL
2639- Add support for transaction tracing. This allows the state of the
2640 DHCP server on startup, and all the subsequent transactions, to be
2641 recorded in a file which can then be played back to reproduce the
2642 behaviour of the DHCP server. This can be used to quickly
2643 reproduce bugs that cause core dumps or corruption, and also for
2644 tracking down memory leaks.
2645
2646- Incorporate some bug fixes provided by Joost Mulders for the DLPI
2647 package which should clear up problems people have been seeing on
2648 Solaris.
2649
2650- Fix bugs in the handling of options stored as linked lists (agent
2651 options, fqdn options and nwip options) that could cause memory
2652 corruption and core dumps.
2653
2654- Fix a bug in DHCPREQUEST handling that resulted in DHCPNAK messages
2655 not being send in some cases when they were needed.
2656

2658
2659- Make initial failover startup *much* faster. This was researched
2660 and implemented by Damien Neil.

2700
2701- Finish fixing a long-standing bug in the agent options code. This
2702 was causing core dumps and failing to operate correctly - in
2703 particular, agent option stashing wasn't working. Agent option
2704 stashing should now be working, meaning that agent options can be
2705 used in class statements to control address allocation.
2706

2713
2714- Fix a compile error on some older operating systems.

2716- Add the ability in the client to execute certain statements before
2717 transmitting packets to the server. Handy for debugging; not much
2718 practical use otherwise.

2729- Work around the Win98 DHCP client, which NUL-terminates the FQDN
2730 option.
2731
2732- Work around Win98 and Win2k clients that will claim they want to do
2733 the update even when they don't have any way to do it.
2734
2735- Fix some log messages that can be printed when failover is operating
2736 that were not printing enough information.
2737
2738- It was possible for a DHCPDISCOVER to get an allocation even when
2739 the state machine said the server shouldn't be responding.
2740
2741- Don't load balance DHCPREQUESTs from clients in RENEWING and
2742 REBINDING, since in RENEWING, if we heard it, it's for us, and in
2743 REBINDING, the client wouldn't have got to REBINDING if its primary
2744 were answering.

2757 decoder that would prevent any key with an 'x' in its base64
2758 representation from working correctly.
2759
2760- Thanks to Chris Cheney and Michael Sanders, we have a fix for the
2761 hang that they both spotted in the DHCP server - when
2762 one-lease-per-client was set, the code to release the "other" lease
2763 could spin.
2764
2765- Fix a problem with alignment of the input buffer in bpf in cases
2766 where two packets arrive in the same bpf read.
2767
2768- Fix a problem where the relay agent would crash if you specified an
2769 interface name on the command line.
2770
2771- Add the ability to conditionalize client behaviour based on the
2772 client state.
2773
2774- Add support for the FQDN option, and added support for a new way of
2775 doing ddns updates (ddns update style interim) that allows more than
2776 one DHCP server to update the DNS for the same network(s). This
2777 was implemented by Damien Neil with some additional functionality
2778 added by Ted Lemon.
2779
2780- Damien added a "log" statement, so that the configuration file can
2781 be made to log debugging information and other information.
2782
2783- Fixed a bug that caused option buffers not to be terminated with an
2784 end option.
2785
2786- Fixed a long-standing bug in the support for option spaces where the
2787 options are stored as an ordered list rather than in a hash table,
2788 which could theoretically result in memory pool corruption.
2789
2790- Prevent hardware declarations with no actual hardware address from
2791 being written as something unparsable, and behave correctly in the
2792 face of a null hardware address on input.
2793
2794- Allow key names to be FQDNs, and qualify the algorithm name if it is
2795 specified unqualified.

2797- Modify the DDNS update code so that it never prints the "resolver
2798 failed" message, but instead says *why* the resolver failed.

2801 RFC.

2816
2817- Fix DHCP client handling of vendor encapsulated options.
2818
2819- Fix a bug in the handling of relay agent information options introduced
2820 in patchlevel 9.
2821
2822- Stash agent options on client leases by default, and use the stashed
2823 options at renewal time.
2824
2825- Add the ability to test the client's binding state in the client
2826 configuration language.
2827
2828- Fix a core dump in the DNS update code.
2829
2830- Fix some expression evaluation bugs that were causing updates to be
2831 done when no client hostname was received.
2832
2833- Fix expression evaluation debugging printfs.
2834
2835- Teach pretty_print_option to print options in option spaces other than
2836 the DHCP option space.
2837
2838- Add a warning message if the RHS of a not is not boolean.
2839
2840- Never select for more than a day, because some implementations of
2841 select will just fail if the timeout is too long (!).
2842
2843- Fix a case where a DHCPDISCOVER from an unknown network would be
2844 silently dropped.
2845
2846- Fix a bug where if a client requested an IP address for which a different
2847 client had the lease, the DHCP server would reallocate it anyway.
2848
2849- Fix the DNS update code so that if the client changes its name, the DNS
2850 will be correctly updated.

2852 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 8
2853
2854- Oops, there was another subtle math error in the header-length
2855 bounds-checking.
2856
2857 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 7

TL
2858
2859- Oops, forgot to byte-swap udp header length before bounds-checking it.

TL
2863- Fix a possible DoS attack where a client could cause the checksummer
2864 to dump core. This was a read, not a write, so it shouldn't be
2865 possible to exploit it any further than that.
2866
2867- Implement client- and server-side support for using the Client FQDN
2868 option.
2869
2870- Support for other option spaces in the client has been added. This
2871 means that it is now possible to define a vendor option space on the
2872 client, request options in that space from the server (which must
2873 define the same option space), and then use those options in the
2874 client. This also allows NWIP and Client FQDN options to be used
2875 meaningfully.
2876
2877- Add object initializer support. This means that objects can now be
2878 initialized to something other than all-zeros when allocated, which
2879 makes, e.g., the interface object support code a little more robust.
2880
2881- Fix an off-by-one bug in the host stuffer. This was causing host
2882 deletes not the work, and may also have been causing OMAPI
2883 connections to get dropped. Thanks to James Brister for tracking
2884 this one down!
2885
2886- Fixed a core dump in the interface discovery code that is triggered
2887 when there is no subnet declaration for an interface, but the server
2888 decides to continue running. Thanks to Shane Kerr for tracking
2889 down and fixing this problem.
2890
2891 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 5
2892
0f6045f8
TL
2893- Fix a bug in the recent enhancement to the interface discovery code
2894 to support arbitrary-length interface lists.
2895
2896- Support NUL-terminated DHCP options when initializing client-script
2897 environment.
2898
2899- Fix suffix operator.
2900
2901- Fix NetWare/IP option parsing.
2902
2903- Better error/status checking in dhcpctl initialization and omapi
2904 connection code.
2905
2906- Fix a potential memory smash in dhcpctl code.
2907
2908- Fix SunOS4 and (maybe) Ultrix builds.
2909
2910- Fix a bug where a certain sort of incoming packet could cause a core
2911 dump on Solaris (and probably elsewhere).
2912
2913- Add some more safety checks in error logging code.
2914
2915- Add support for ISC_R_INCOMPLETE in OMAPI protocol connection code.
2916
2917- Fix relay agent so that if an interface is specified on the command
2918 line, the relay agent does not dump core.
2919
2920- Fix class matching so that match if can be combined with match or
2921 spawn with.
2922
2923- Do not allow spurious leases in the lease database to introduce
2924 potentially bogus leases into the in-memory database.
2925
2926- Fix a byte-order problem in the client hardware address type code
2927 for OMAPI.
2928
2929- Be slightly less picky about what sort of hardware addresses OMAPI
2930 can install in host declarations.

2932 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 4
2933
2934- Incorporated Peter Marschall's proposed change to array/record
2935 parsing, which allows things like the slp-agent option to be encoded
2936 correctly. Thanks very much to Peter for taking the initiative to
2937 do this, and for doing such a careful job of it (e.g., updating the
2938 comments)!
2939
2940- Added an encoding for the slp-agent option. :')

TL
2942- Fixed SunOS 4 build. Thanks to Robert Elz for responding to my
2943 request for help on this with patches!
2944
2945- Incorporated a change that should fix a problem reported by Philippe
2946 Jumelle where when the network connection between two servers is
2947 lost, they never reconnect.
2948
2949- Fix client script files other than that for NetBSD to actually use
2950 make_resolv_conf as documented in the manual page.
2951
2952- Fix a bug in the packet handling code that could result in a core
2953 dump.
2954
2955- Fix a bug in the bootp code where responses on the local net would
2956 be sent to the wrong MAC address. Thanks to Jerry Schave for
2957 catching this one.
2958

TL
2959 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 3
2960
2961- In the DHCP client, execute client statements prior to using the values
45d545f0 2962 of options, so that the client configuration can overridden, e.g., the
490eb5e7
TL
2963 lease renewal time.
2964
2965- Fix a reference counting error that would result in very reproducible
2966 failures in updates, as well as occasional core dumps, if a zone was
2967 declared without a key.
2968
2969- Fix some Linux 2.0 compilation problems.
2970
2971- Fix a bug in scope evaluation during execution of "on" statements that
2972 caused values not to be recorded on leases.
2973
2974- If the dhcp-max-message-size option is specified in scope, and the
2975 client didn't send this option, use the one specified in scope to
2976 determine the maximum size of the response.

2980- Fix a case where spawning subclasses were being allocated
2981 incorrectly, resulting in a core dump.
2982
592d8153
TL
2983- Fix a case where the DHCP server might inappropriately NAK a
2984 RENEWING client.
2985
2986- Fix a place dhcprequest() where static leases could leak.
2987
2988- Include memory.h in omapip_p.h so that we don't get warnings about
2989 using memcmp().

2991 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 1
2992
2993- Notice when SIOCFIGCONF returns more data than fit in the buffer -
2994 allocate a larger buffer, and retry. Thanks to Greg Fausak for
2995 pointing this out.
2996
2997- In the server, if no interfaces were configured, report an error and
2998 exit.
2999
3000- Don't ever record a state of 'startup'.
3001
3002- Don't try to evaluate the local failover binding address if none was
3003 specified. Thanks to Joseph Breu for finding this.
