5ddbe8e4 5 Release Notes
72c7bd79 6
5ddbe8e4 7 NEW FEATURES
16449d9c 8
5ade3c84 9The major "theme" for ISC DHCP 4.3.x was to update the support for
324257e3
SR
10DHCPv6 to include several of the features that have been available
11for DHCPv4. These include:
37ec5845 12
324257e3
SR
13- Support the use of classes
14
15- Support for on_commit, on_expiry and on_release statements
16
4809ef5c 17- Better logging of address assignments
324257e3
SR
18
19- Support for using DHCPv6 relay options in expressions
20
21This release also adds suppport for the standard DDNS as described in the
22current RFCs as well as enhancing support for dynamically adding and removing
23subclasses via OMAPI.
98bf1607 24
01a54c17
EH
25There are a number of DHCPv6 limitations and features missing in this
26release, which will be addressed in the future:
98bd7ca0 27
01a54c17 28- Only Solaris, Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD are supported.
3a16098f 29
adbef119
DH
30- DHCPv6 includes human-readable text in status code messages, in
31 English. A method to reconfigure or support other languages would
80778e94 32 be preferable.
98bd7ca0
DH
33
34- The "host-identifier" option is limited to a simple token.
35
98bd7ca0 36- The client and server can only operate DHCPv4 or DHCPv6 at a time,
45d545f0 37 not both. To use both protocols simultaneously, two instances of the
6de1f33e 38 relevant daemon are required, one with the '-6' command line option.

55 Changes since 4.3.2rc2
56
57- None
58
59 Changes since 4.3.2rc1
75d02fcf
TM
60
61- Corrected a compilation error introduced by the fix for ISC-Bugs #37415.
62 The error occurs on Linux variants that do not support VLAN tag information
63 in packet auxiliary data. The configure script now only enables inclusion
64 of the VLAN tag-based logic if it is supported by the underlying OS.
65 [ISC-Bugs #38677]
66
45adf35c 67 Changes since 4.3.2b1
4d9b81fc 68
45adf35c 69- Specifying the option, --disable-debug, on the configure script command line
4e1bf548 70 now disables debug features. Prior to this, specifying --disable-debug
112d76f6
TM
71 incorrectly enabled debug features. Thanks to Gustavo Zacarias for reporting
72 the issue.
4e1bf548 73 [ISC-Bugs #37780]
4d9b81fc 74
9a111ee8
TM
75- Unit test execution now uses a path augmented during configuration
76 processing of the --with-atf option to locate ATF runtime tools, atf-run
77 and atf-report. For most installations of ATF, this should alleviate the
78 need to manually include them in the PATH, as was formerly required.
79 If the configure script cannot locate the tools it will emit a warning,
80 informing the user that the tools must be in the PATH when running unit
81 tests.
82 Secondly, please note that "make check" will now exit with a failure status
83 code (non-zero) if one or more unit tests fail. This means that invoking
84 "make check" from an upper level directory will cause the make process to
85 STOP after the first test subdirectory with failed test(s). To force all
86 tests in all subdirectories to run, regardless of individual test outcome,
87 use the command "make -k check".
88 [ISC-Bugs #38619]
89
36e2c224 90 Changes since 4.3.1
906ec9a7 91
71d7e9aa
TM
92- Corrected parser's right brace matching when a statement contains an error.
93 [ISC-Bugs #36021]
94
3ffc07de 95- TSIG-authenticated dynamic DNS updates now support the use of these
267a248d
TM
96 additional algorithms: hmac-sha1, hmac-sha224, hmac-sha256, hmac-sha384,
97 and hmac-sha512
3ffc07de
TM
98 [ISC-Bugs #36947]
99
fa54ba10 100- Added check for invalid failover message type. Thanks to Tobias Stoeckmann
45adf35c 101 working with the OpenBSD project who spotted the issue and provided the
fa54ba10 102 patch.
e1b18c69
TM
103 [ISC-Bugs #36653]
104
fa54ba10 105- Corrected rate limiting checks for bad packet logging. Thanks to Tobias
45adf35c 106 Stoeckmann working with the OpenBSD project who spotted the issue and
fa54ba10 107 provided the patch.
0ce1aa94
TM
108 [ISC-Bugs #36897]
109
3956569b
TM
110- Log statements depicting what files will be used by the server now occur
111 after the configuration file has been processed.
112 [ISC-Bugs #36671]
113
36e2c224 114- Addressed Coverity issues reported as of 07-31-2014:
6444928c 115 [ISC-Bugs #36712] Corrects Coverity reported "high" impact issues.
c7c11ea1 116 [ISC-Bugs #36933] Corrects Coverity reported "medium" impact issues
6444928c
TM
117 [ISC-Bugs #37708] Fixes compilation error in dst_api.c seen in older
118 compilers that was introduced by #36712
906ec9a7 119
2a537542
TM
120- Server now supports a failover split value of 256.
121 [ISC-Bugs] #36664]
122
1dceab6c
SR
123- Remove unneeded error #defines. These defines were included in case
124 external programs required the older versions of the macro. They
125 have been #ifdeffed for now and will be removed at a future date.
126 See site.h for the #define to include them again, but you should
127 switch to using the DHCP_R_* versions instead of the ISC_R_* versions.
adb95d23 128 Also ISC_R_MULTIPLE has been removed as it is also defined in bind.
1dceab6c
SR
129 [ISC-Bugs #37128]
130
bd49432f 131- Added checks in range6 and prefix6 statement parsing to ensure addresses
b3b69c1c
TM
132 are within the declared subnet. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the
133 bug report and patch.
bd49432f 134 [ISC-Bugs #32453]
7ff6ae5a
TM
135 [ISC-Bugs #17766]
136 [ISC-Bugs #18510]
137 [ISC-Bugs #23698]
138 [ISC-Bugs #28883]
139
140- Addressed checksum issues:
141 Added checksum readiness check to Linux packet filtering which eliminates
142 invalid packet drops due to checksum errors when checksum offloading is
143 in use. Based on dhcp-4.2.2-xen-checksum.patch made to the Fedora project.
144 [ISC-Bugs #22806]
145 [ISC-Bugs #15902]
146 [ISC-Bugs #17739]
147 [ISC-Bugs #18010]
148 [ISC-Bugs #22556]
149 [ISC-Bugs #29769]
45adf35c 150 Inbound packets with UDP checksums of 0xffff now validate correctly rather
7ff6ae5a 151 than being dropped.
e046c826
TM
152 [ISC-Bugs #24216]
153 [ISC-Bugs #25587]
154
155- Added the echo-client-id configuration parameter to the server configuration.
156 The server now supports RFC 6842 compliant behavior by setting a new
157 configuration parameter, echo-client-id. When enabled, the server will
158 include the client identifier option (Option code 61) if received, in its
159 responses. The server identifier returned in NAKs (if enabled) will now
160 be the globally defined value (if one) if the server cannot attribute the
161 inbound request to a known subnet.

SR
162 [ISC-Bugs #35958]
163 [ISC-Bugs #32545]
bd49432f 164
0a7e1a8a
TM
165- Added support of the configuration parameter, use-host-decl-names, to
166 BOOTP request handling.
167 [ISC-Bugs #36233]
168
6067cd48
TM
169- Added logic to ignore the signal, SIGPIPE, which ensures write failures
170 will be delivered as errors rather than as SIGPIPE signals on all OSs.
171 Thanks to Marius Tomaschewski from SUSE who reported the issue and provided
172 the patch upon which the fix is based.
173 [ISC-Bugs #32222]
174
21d30347
SR
175- In the failover code, handle the case of communications being interrupted
176 when the servers are dealing with POTENTIAL-CONFLICT. This patch allows
177 the primary to accept the secondary moving from POTENTIAL-CONFLICT to
178 RESOLUTION-INTERRUPTED as well as handling the bind update process better.
179 In addition the code to resend update or update all requests has been
180 modified to send requests more often.
181 [ISC-Bugs #36810]
182 [ISC-Bugs #20352]
183
d9b2a590
TM
184- By default, the server will now choose the value to use in the forward DNS
185 name from the following in order of preference:
186
187 1. FQDN option if provided by the client
188 2. Host name option if provided by the client
189 3. Configured option host-name if defined
190
191 As before, this may be overridden by defining ddns-hostname to the desired
192 value (or expression). In addition, the server logic has been extended to
193 use the value of the host name declaration if use-host-decl-names is enabled
194 and no other value is available.
195 [ISC-Bugs #21323]
196
f3a44c10
TM
197- DNS updates were being attempted when dhcp-cache-threshold enabled the use of
198 the existing lease and the forward DNS name had not changed. This has been
199 corrected.
200 [ISC-Bugs #37368]
59990751 201 [ISC-Bugs #38686]
f3a44c10 202
04daf4fe 203- Corrected an issue which caused dhclient to incorrectly form the result when
45adf35c 204 prepending or appending to the IPv4 domain-search option, received from the
04daf4fe
TM
205 server, when either of the values being combined contain compressed
206 components.
207 [ISC-Bugs #20558]
208
7116a34f
TM
209- Added the server-id-check parameter to the server configuration.
210 This parameter allows run-time control over whether or not a server,
211 participating in failover, verifies the dhcp-server-identifier option in
212 DHCP REQUESTs against the server’s id before processing the request.
213 Formerly, enabling this behavior was done at compilation time through
214 the use of the #define, SERVER_ID_CHECK, which has been removed from site.h
adb95d23 215 The functionality is now only available through the new runtime parameter.
7116a34f
TM
216 [ISC-Bugs #37551]
217
2775bd62
TM
218- During startup, when the server encounters a lease whose binding state is
219 FTS_BACKUP but whose pool has no configured failover peer, it will reset the
220 lease's binding state to FTS_FREE. This allows the leases to be reclaimed
221 by the server after a pool's configuration has changed from failover to
222 standalone. Prior to this such leases would remain stuck in the backup state
223 making them unavailable for assignment. Note this conversion will occur
224 whether or not the server is compiled for failover.
225 [ISC-Bugs #36960]
226
dd9738aa
SR
227- Fixed a small issue in the treatment of hosts in the inform processing
228 that could cause the response to an inform to include information from
229 the wrong scope. The two examples we've heard of are getting subnet
230 instead of group information associated with a host entry, or getting
231 global information instead of subnet if the host entry was built via
433927d3
SR
232 omapi. Thanks to Julien Soula at University of Lille for finding the
233 bug and supplying a patch.
dd9738aa
SR
234 [ISC-Bugs #35712]
235
491bf4a2
SR
236- Avoid calling pool_timer() recursively from supersede_lease(). This could
237 result in leases changing state incorrectly or delaying the running of the
238 leae expiration code.
239 [ISC-Bugs #38002]
240
992dc765
SR
241- Move the check for a PID file and process to be before we rewrite the
242 lease file. This avoids the possibility of starting a second instance
243 of a server which changes the current lease file confusing the first
244 instance. This check is only included if the admin hasn't disabled PID
245 files.
246 [ISC-Bugs #38078]
001b9d53 247 [ISC-Bugs #38143]
992dc765 248
cb8c997e
SR
249- In the client code change the way preferred_life and max_life are printed
250 for environment variables to be unsigned rather than signed.
251 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the bug report and patch.
252 [ISC-Bugs #37084]
253
acbecb2e
TM
254- Modified linux packet handling such that packets received via VLAN are now
255 seen only by the VLAN interface. Prior to this, such packets were seen by
256 both the VLAN interface and its parent (physical) interface, causing the
257 server to respond to both. Note this remains an issue for non-Linux OSs.
258 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the patch.
259 [ISC-Bugs #37415]
260 [ISC-Bugs #37133]
261 [ISC-Bugs #36668]
262 [ISC-Bugs #36652]
263
fb98e02e
TM
264- Log content has been changed to more directly suggest that admins should
265 check for multiple IPv6 clients attempting to use the same DUID when only
266 abandoned addresses are available. Debug level logging will now emit counts
267 of the total number of, in-use, and abandoned addresses in a shared subnet
268 when the server finds no addresses available for a given DUID. Lastly,
269 threshold logging is now automatically disabled for shared subnets whose
270 total number of possible addresses exceeds (2^64)-1.
271 [ISC-Bugs #26376]
272 [ISC-Bugs #38131]
273
1a006ff6
TM
274- Added a global parameter, prefix-length-mode, which may be used to determine
275 how the server uses a non-zero value for prefix-length supplied by clients
276 when soliciting DHCPv6 prefixes. The server supports selection modes of:
277 ignore, prefer, exact, minimum and maximum which are described in detail in
278 the server man pages. The prior behavior of the server was to only offer a
279 prefix whose length exactly matched the prefix-length value requested. If
280 no such prefixes were available, the server returned a status of none
281 available. Note the default mode, "exact", provides this same behavior.
282 [ISC-Bugs #36780]
f48dfdf1 283 [ISC-Bugs #32228]
1a006ff6 284
45adf35c
TM
285- Corrected inconsistencies in dhcrelay's setting the upper interface hop count
286 limit such that it now sets it to 32 when the upstream address is a multicast
287 address per RFC 3315 Section 20. Prior to this if the -u argument preceded
288 the -l argument on the command line or if the same interface was specified
289 for both; the logic to set the hop limit count for the upper interface was
290 skipped. This caused the hop count limit to be set to the default value
291 (typically 1) in the outbound upstream packets.
292 [ISC-Bugs #37426]
293
294
7d9dd306
TM
295 Changes since 4.3.1b1
296
297- Modify the linux and openwrt dhclient scripts to process information
298 from a stateless request. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the
299 bug report and patch.
f542e92b 300 [ISC-Bugs #36102]
7d9dd306 301
29c6b4f1
SR
302- Remove more unused RCSID tags. These weren't noticed in 4.3 as
303 the code isn't used anymore but we remove them here to keep the
304 code consistent across versions.
305 [ISC-Bugs #36451]
306
57187138 307 Changes since 4.3.0
01a44a77 308
5ade3c84 309- Tidy up several small tickets.
38c4774a

342 option in the list.
343 [ISC-Bugs #24580]
344
388cba45
SR
345- Remove the code that allows a server to follow RFC3315 instead of
346 the subsequent errata from August 2010 when determining which IAs
347 to include if no addresses will be assigned.
2c4be1d7 348 [ISC-Bugs #28938]

SR
369 [ISC-Bugs #26735]
370 When asked for the version don't send the output to syslog.
371 [ISC-Bugs #29772]
372 Add the next server information to the environment variables for
373 use by the client script. In order to avoid changing the client
374 lease file the next server information isn't written to it.
375 Thanks to Tomas Hozza at Red Hat for the suggestion and a prototype fix.
376 [ISC-Bugs #33098]
377
5ade3c84 378- Several updates to the dhcp server code.
d8c7c34e
SR
379 When not in quiet mode print out the files being used.
380 [ISC-Bugs #17551]
381 As accessing some pid files may require privileges move the dropping
382 of permission bits due to the paranoia patch to be after the pid code.
5ade3c84 383 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the bug report and fix.
d8c7c34e
SR
384 [ISC-Bugs #25806]
385 When processing a "--version" request don't output the version information
386 to syslog.
387
5ade3c84 388- Add the "enable-log-pid" build option to the configure script. When enabled
00e9af8e
SR
389 this causes the client, server and relay programs to include the PID
390 number in syslog messages.
391 Thanks to Marius Tomaschewski for the suggestion and proto-patch.
392 [ISC-Bugs #29713]
393
9279a3d7
SR
394- Add a #define to specify the prefix length used when a client attempts
395 to configure an address. This can be modified by editing includes/site.h.
396 By default it is set to 64. While 128 might be a better choice it would
397 also be a change for currently running systems, so we have left it at 64.
63c8800c 398 [ISC-Bugs #DHCP-2]
9279a3d7 399
79818c93
SR
400- Add a run time option to the client "-df" to allow the administrator to
401 point to a second lease file the client can search for a DUID. This can
402 be used to allow a v4 and a v6 instance of the client to share a DUID.
403 The second file will only be searched if there isn't a DUID in the main
404 lease file and the DUID will be written out to the main lease file.
405 [ISC-Bugs #34886]
406
8a2e40cf
SR
407- Have the client fsync the lease file to avoid lease corruption if the
408 client hibernates or otherwise shuts down.
409 [ISC-Bugs #35894]
410
59a351d6
SR
411- Add a check for L2VLAN in bpf.c to help support VLAN interfaces
412 Thanks to Steinar Haug for the suggestion.
413 [ISC-Bugs #36033]
414
0ab4a716

6980ae03 456 Changes since 4.2.0 (new features)
51b8a8a0
SR
457
458- If a client renews before 'dhcp-cache-threshold' percent of its lease
459 has elapsed (default 25%), the server will reuse the allocated lease
460 (provide a lease within the currently allocated lease-time) rather
461 than extend or renew the lease. This absolves the server of needing
462 to perform an fsync() operation on the lease database before reply,
463 which improves performance. [ISC-Bugs #22228]
80778e94 464 Updated this patch to support asynchronous DDNS. If the server is
adb95d23 465 attempting to do DDNS on a lease it should be updated and written to
4809ef5c 466 disk even if that wouldn't be necessary due to the thresholding.
8cd88e20 467 [ISC-Bugs #26311]
51b8a8a0 468
6980ae03
SR
469- The 'no available billing' log line now also logs the name of the last
470 matching billing class tried before failing to provide a billing.
471 [ISC-Bugs #21759]
472
32e651c4
SR
473- A problem with missing get_hw_addr function when --enable-use-sockets
474 was used is now solved on GNU/Linux, BSD and GNU/Hurd systems. Note
475 that use-sockets feature was not tested on those systems. Client and
476 server code no longer use MAX_PATH constant that is not defined on
3cb6f9bb 477 GNU/Hurd systems. [ISC-Bugs #25979]
32e651c4 478
67418698
SR
479- Add a perl script in the contrib directory, dhcp-lease-list.pl, which
480 can parse v4 lease files and output the lease information in a more
481 human friendly manner. This was written by Christian Hammers with
482 some updates by vom and ISC. This is contributed code and is not
483 supported by ISC; however it may be useful to some users.
484 [ISC-Bugs #20680]
485
a7341359 486- Add support in v6 for on-commit, on-expire and on-release.
4809ef5c 487 [ISC-Bugs #27912]

SR
489- Add support for using classes with v6.
490 [ISC-Bugs #26510]
491
d7d9c0c7
SR
492- Update the DDNS code to current standards and allow for sharing
493 of DDNS entries between v4 and v6 clients. The new code is used
494 if the ddns-update-style is set to "standard", the older code is
495 still available if ddns-update-style is set to "interim". The
496 oldest DDNS code "ad-hoc" has been removed. Thanks to Thomas Pegeot
497 who submitted a patch for this issue. This patch is based on
498 that work with some modifications.
64fb661c 499 [ISC-Bugs #21139]
1534fff7 500
cde11a4c
SR
501- Add a configuration option to the server to suppress using fsync().
502 Enabling this option will mean that fsync() is never called. This
503 may provide better performance but there is also a risk that a lease
504 will not be properly written to the disk after it has been issued
505 to a client and before the server stops. Using this option is
506 not recommended.
64fb661c 507 [ISC-Bugs #34810]
cde11a4c 508
f88446f1
SR
509- Add some logging statements to indicate when the server is ready
510 to serve. One statement is emitted after the server has finished
511 reading its files and is about to enter the dispatch loop.
512 This is "Server starting service.".
513 The second is emitted when a server determines that both it and
514 its failover peer are in the normal state.
515 This is "failover peer <name>: Both servers normal."
64fb661c 516 [ISC-Bugs #33208]
f88446f1 517
619304cd
SR
518- Add support for accessing options from v6 relays. The v6relay
519 statement allows the administrator to choose which relay to
520 use when searching for an option, see the dhcp-options man page
6b9c9f87
SR
521 for a description. The host-identifier option has also been
522 updated to support the use of relay options, see the dhcpd.conf
619304cd
SR
523 man page for a description.
524 [ISC-Bugs #19598]
525
e54ff84f 526- When doing DDNS if there isn't an appropriate zone statement attempt
80778e94 527 to find a reasonable nameserver via a DNS resolver. This restores
e54ff84f
SR
528 some functionality that was lost in the transition to asynchronous
529 DDNS. Due to the lack of security and increase in fragility of the
530 system when using this feature we strongly recommend the use of
531 appropriate zone statements rather than using this functionality.
532 [ISC-Bugs #30461]
533
61ef216b
SR
534- Add support for specifying the address from which to send
535 DDNS updates on the DHCP server. There are two new options
536 "ddns-local-address4" and "ddns-local-address6" that each take
537 one instance of their respective address types.
538 [ISC-Bugs #34779]
4d079f0e 539
38ee81bd
SR
540- Add ignore-client-uids option in the server. This option causes
541 the server to not record a client's uid in its lease. This
542 violates the specification but may also be useful when a client
543 can dual boot using different client ids but the same mac address.
6b9c9f87 544 Thank you to Brian De Wolf at Cal Poly Pomona for the patch.

554 for a hardware address if there is no packet. This allows the
555 server to find the hardware address during on-expiry processing.

565 is no longer truncated to one octet.

SR
569- Manpage entries for the ia-pd and ia-prefix options were updated to
570 reflect support for prefix delegation.
4889a646 571
01a44a77 572- Cleaned up some compiler warnings
7dc4e69c 573
01a44a77
SR
574- An optimization described in the failover protocol draft is now included,
575 which permits a DHCP server operating in communications-interrupted state
576 to 'rewind' a lease to the state most recently transmitted to its peer,
577 greatly increasing a server's endurance in communications-interrupted.
578 This is supported using a new 'rewind state' record on the dhcpd.leases
579 entry for each lease.
c5bc8b1a 580
01a44a77 581- Fix the trace code which was broken by the changes to the DDNS code.
d0a10f6a 582
01a44a77
SR
583- Update the fsync code to work with the changes to the DDNS code. It now
584 uses a timer instead of noticing if there are no more packets to process.
dc9d7b08 585
01a44a77
SR
586- When constructing the DNS name structure from a text string append
587 the root to relative names. This satisfies a requirement in the DNS
588 library that names be absolute instead of relative and prevents DHCP
589 from crashing. [ISC-Bugs #21054]
a24b9f23 590
01a44a77
SR
591- "The LDAP Patch" that has been circulating for some time, written by
592 Brian Masney and S.Kalyanasundraram and maintained for application to
593 the DHCP-4 sources by David Cantrell has been included. Please be
594 advised that these sources were contributed, and do not yet meet the
595 high standards we place on production sources we include by default.
596 As a result, the LDAP features are only included by using a compile-time
597 option which defaults off, and if you enable it you do so under your
598 own recognizance. We will be improving this software over time.
599 [ISC-Bugs #17741]

cc17cbc3 603
01a44a77
SR
604! Accept a client id of length 0 while hashing. Previously the server would
605 exit if it attempted to hash a zero length client id, providing attackers
606 with a simple denial of service attack. [ISC-Bugs #21253]

08b2d347 610
01a44a77
SR
611- Modify the exception handling for initial context creation. Previously
612 we would try and clean up before exiting. This could present problems
613 when the cleanup required part of the context that wasn't available. It
614 also didn't do much as we exited afterwards anyway. Now we simply log
615 the error and exit. [ISC-Bugs #21093]
ad4001ce 616
01a44a77
SR
617- A bug was fixed that could cause the DHCPv6 server to advertise/assign a
618 previously allocated (active) lease to a client that has changed subnets,
619 despite being on different shared networks. Dynamic prefixes specifically
620 allocated in shared networks also now are not offered if the client has
621 moved. [ISC-Bugs #21152]
3cb6f9bb 622
01a44a77 623- Add some debugging output for use with the DDNS code. [ISC-Bugs #20916]
f6dc164f 624

625- Fix the trace code to handle timing events better and to truncate a file
626 before using instead of overwriting it. [ISC-Bugs #20969]
4b8251a0 627
01a44a77
SR
628- Modify the determination of the default TTL to use for DDNS updates.
629 The user may still configure the ttl via ddns-ttl. The default for
630 both v4 and v6 is now 1/2 the (preferred) lease time with a limit. The
631 previous defaults (1/2 lease time without a limit for v4 and a default
632 value for v6) may be used by defining USE_OLD_DDNS_TTL in site.h

656- 'get-host-names true;' now also works even if 'use-host-decl-names true;'
657 was also configured. The nature of this repair also fixes another

835- 'dhclient' no longer waits a random interval after first starting up to
836 begin in the INIT state. This conforms to RFC 2131, but elects not to
9a111ee8 837 implement a 'SHOULD' direction in section 4.1. The goal of this change
73c83820 838 is to start up faster. [ISC-Bugs #19660]
9a111ee8
TM
839
840- Added 'initial-delay' parameter that specifies maximum amount of time
841 before client goes to the INIT state. The default value is 0. In previous
842 versions of the code client could wait up to 5 seconds. The old behavior
5d082abd 843 may be restored by using 'initial-delay 5;' in the client config file.

TM
845
846- ICMP ping-check should now sit closer to precisely the number of seconds
847 configured (or default 1), due to making use of the new microsecond
848 scale timer internally to dhcpd. This corrects a bug where the server
849 may immediately timeout an ICMP ping-check if it was made late in the
73c83820 850 current second. [ISC-Bugs #19660]
5d082abd
TM
851
852- The DHCP client will schedule renewal and rebinding events in
853 microseconds if the DHCP server provided a lease-time that would result
854 in sub-1-second timers. This corrects a bug where a 2-second or lower
855 lease-time would cause the DHCP client to enter an infinite loop by
73c83820 856 scheduling renewal at zero seconds. [ISC-Bugs #19660]
5d082abd
TM
857
858- Client lease records are recorded at most once every 15 seconds. This
859 keeps the client from filling the lease database disk quickly on very small
73c83820 860 lease times. [ISC-Bugs #19660]
5d082abd
TM
861
862- To defend against RFC 2131 non-compliant DHCP servers which fail to
863 advertise a lease-time (either mangled, or zero in value) the DHCP
864 client now adds the server to the reject list ACL and returns to INIT
865 state to hopefully find an RFC 2131 compliant server (or retry in INIT
73c83820 866 forever). [ISC-Bugs #19660]

869 now be correctly written to dhcpd.leases (as on 'on events' or dynamic
870 host records inserted via OMAPI). [ISC-Bugs #22266]

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

1100! Previously the server code was relaxed to allow packets with zero
1101 length client ids to be processed. Under some situations use of
1102 zero length client ids can cause the server to go into an infinite
1103 loop. As such ids are not valid according to RFC 2132 section 9.14
1104 the server no longer accepts them. Client ids with a length of 1
1105 are also invalid but the server still accepts them in order to
1106 minimize disruption. The restriction will likely be tightened in
1107 the future to disallow ids with a length of 1.

1270- Failover port configuration can now be left to defaults (port 647) as
1271 described in the -12 revision of the Failover draft (and assigned by

DH
1283- A new failover configuration parameter has been introduced for those
1284 environments where DHCP servers can be reasonably guaranteed to be
1285 "down" when the failover TCP socket is severed, "auto-partner-down".
1286 This parameter is not generally safe, and by default is disabled, so
1287 please carefully review the documentation of this parameter in the
1288 dhcpd.conf(5) manpage before determining to use it yourself.
1289
33ea4622
DH
1290- Added a configuration function, 'gethostname()', which calls the system
1291 function of the same name and presents the results as a data expression.
1292 This function can be used to incorporate the system level hostname of
1293 the system the DHCP software is operating on in responses or queries (such
1294 as including a failover partner's hostname in a dhcp message or binding
1295 scope, or having a DHCP client send any system hostname in the host-name or
1296 FQDN options by default).

DH
1298- The dhcp-renewal-time and dhcp-rebinding-time options may now be configured
1299 for DHCPv4 operation and used independently of the dhcp-lease-time
1300 calculations. Invalid renew and rebinding times (e.g., greater than the
1301 determined lease time) are omitted.
1302
adb95d23 1303- Processing the DHCP to DNS server transactions in an asynchronous fashion,
45adf35c 1304 the DHCP server or client can now continue with its processing while
98bf1607 1305 awaiting replies from the DNS server.

1318 which is seen in some malformed DHCP client packets, was modified.
1319 It now logs the universe name, and does not log the length values
1320 (which are bogus corruption read from the packet anyway). It also
1321 carries a hopefully more useful explanation.

1349- A bug in DLPI packet transmission (Solaris, HP/UX) that caused the server
1350 to stop receiving packets is fixed. The same fix also means that the MAC
1351 address will no longer appear 'bogus' on DLPI-based systems.
1352
1353- A bug in select handling was discovered where the results of one select()
1354 call were discarded, causing the server to process the next select() call
1355 and use more system calls than required. This has been repaired - the
1356 sockets will be handled after the first return from select(), resulting in
1357 fewer system calls.
1358
a3dcc0b1
DH
1359- The update-conflict-detection feature would leave an FQDN updated without
1360 a DHCID (still currently implemented as a TXT RR). This would cause later
1361 expiration or release events to fail to remove the domain name. The feature
1362 now also inserts the client's up to date DHCID record, so records may safely
1363 be removed at expiration or release time. Thanks to a patch submitted by
1364 Christof Chen.

DH
1366- Memory leak in the load_balance_mine() function is fixed. This would
1367 leak ~20-30 octets per DHCPDISCOVER packet while failover was in use
1368 and in normal state.

1382- Compilation on Solaris with USE_SOCKETS defined in includes/site.h has
1383 been repaired. Other USE_ overrides should work better.

1387 a larger defined value provided by the host OS).

1392 timeouts).

1398 remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands as root on the system,

DH
1416- Secondary servers in a failover pair will now perform ddns removals if
1417 they had performed ddns updates on a lease that is expiring, or was
1418 released through the primary. As part of the same fix, stale binding scopes
1419 will now be removed if a change in identity of a lease's active client is
1420 detected, rather than simply if a lease is noticed to have expired (which it
1421 may have expired without a failover server noticing in some situations).
1422
583c1c16
DH
1423- A patch supplied by David Cantrell at RedHat was applied that detects
1424 invalid calling parameters given to the ns_name_ntop() function.
1425 Specifically, it detects if the caller passed a pointer and size pair
1426 that causes the pointer to integer-wrap past zero.
1427

2267da84
DH
1434- Both host and subnet6 configuration groups are now included whether a
1435 fixed-address6 (DHCPv6) is in use or not. Host scoped configuration takes
1436 precedence. This fixes two bugs, one where host scoped configuration
1437 would not be included from a non-fixed-address6 host record, and the equal
1438 and opposite bug where subnet6 scoped configuration would not be used when
571c38b0 1439 over-riding values were not present in a matching fixed-address6 host

0493fdca
SR
1445- Modified the handling of a connection to avoid releasing the omapi io
1446 object for the connection while it is still in use. One symptom from
1447 this error was a segfault when a failover secondary attempted to connect
1448 to the failover primary if their clocks were not synchronized.

95bba8b6
SR
1450- Clean up to allow compilation with gcc 2.95.4 on FreeBSD. Remove an
1451 extra semi-colon from common/dns.c and moved setting a variable to NULL
1452 in server/dhcpv6.c to allow the compiler to decide that the variable
9a111ee8 1453 was always properly set.

DH
1559- A bug in subnet6 parsing where options contained in subnet6 clauses would
1560 not be applied to clients addressed within that network was repaired.
1561
1562- When configuring a "subnet {}" or "subnet6 {}" without an explicit
1563 shared-network enclosing it, the DHCP software would synthesize a
1564 shared-network to contain the subnet. However, all configuration
1565 parameters within the subnet more intuitively belong "to any client
1566 on that interface", or rather the synthesized shared-network. So,
1567 when a shared-network is synthesized, it is used to contain the
1568 configuration present inside the subnet {} clause. This means that
1569 the configuration will be valid for all clients on that network, not
1570 just those addressed out of the stated subnet. If you intended the
1571 opposite, the workaround is to explicitly configure an empty
1572 shared-network.
1573
1574- A bug was fixed where Information-Request processing was not sourcing
1575 configured option values.
1576
1577- A warning was added since the DHCPv6 processing software does not yet
1578 support class statements.
1579
adb95d23 1580- Compilation warnings on GCC 4.3 relating to bootp source address
dd484ced
DH
1581 selection were repaired.
1582
ecddae64
DH
1583- The v6 BSD socket method was updated to use a single UDP BSD socket
1584 no matter how many interfaces are involved, differentiating the
1585 interfaces the packets were received on by the interface index supplied
1586 by the OS.
1587
1588- The relay agent no longer listens to the All DHCP Servers Multicast
1589 address.
1590
1591- A bug was fixed in data_string_sprintfa() where va_start was only called
1592 once for two invocations of vsprintf() variants.
1593
d104d45b
DH
1594- ERO (RFC 4994) server support.
1595
1596- Basic and partial DHCPv6 leasequery support.
1597
1598- Reliable DHCPv6 release (previous behavior, send release and exit, is
1599 still available with dhclient -6 -1 -r).
1600
01a54c17 1601 Changes since 4.0.0 (new features)
3c12f746 1602
6d7f9584
FD
1603- Added DHCPv6 rapid commit support.
1604
4cafb815 1605- Added explicit parser support for zero-length DHCP options, such as
6d7f9584 1606 rapid-commit, via format code 'Z'.
4cafb815 1607
022fe95e
EH
1608- It's now possible to update the "ends" field of a lease with OMAPI.
1609 This is useful if you want not only to release a lease, but also make
1610 it available for reuse right away. Hat tip to Christof Chen.
1611
9a111ee8 1612- Fixed definition of the iaaddr hash functions to use the correct
1dcc3612
SK
1613 functions when referencing and dereferencing memory.
1614
aabfa4de
FD
1615- Some definitions not in phase with the IANA registry were updated.
1616
0674055a
FD
1617- Allocated interface IDs are better controlled ('u' bit set to zero,
1618 reserved IDs avoided).
1619
b51c785f
FD
1620- Unicast options are taken into account only for RENEWs.
1621
900405e9
FD
1622- NoAddrsAvail answers to SOLICITs are always ADVERTISEs even when a SOLICIT
1623 carries a rapid-commit option.
1624
96b620e5
FD
1625- Return in place of raise an impossible condition when one tries to release
1626 an empty active lease.
1627
be62cf06
FD
1628- Timer granularity is now 1/100s in the DHCPv6 client.
1629
01a54c17
EH
1630- The dhclient-script was updated to create a host route for the default
1631 gateway if the supplied subnet mask for an IPv4 address was a /32. This
1632 allows the client to work in 'captive' network environments, where the
1633 operator does not want clients to crosstalk directly.
1634
adb95d23 1635- MINUS tokens should be parsable again.
01a54c17
EH
1636
1637- Multiple (up to "delayed-ack x;" maximum) DHCPv4 packets are now queued and
1638 released in bursts after single fsync() events when the upper limit is
1639 reached or if the receiving sockets go dry. The practical upshot is
1640 that fsync-coupled server performance is now multiplicitively increased.
1641 The default delayed ack limit is 28. Thanks entirely to a patch from
1642 Christof Chen.
1643
1644 Changes since 4.0.0 (bug fixes)
1645
1646- DHCP now builds on AIX.
1647
1648- Exit with warning when DHCPv6-specific statements are used in the
1649 config file but -6 is not specified.
1650
1651- Fixed "--version" flag in dhcrelay
1652
1653- The 'min-secs' configuration parameter's log message has been updated to
1654 be more helpful.
1655
1656- The warning logged when an address range doesn't fit in the subnets
1657 they were declared has been updated to be more helpful and identify the
1658 typo in configuration that created the spanning addresses.
1659
1660- A bug in failover pool rebalancing that caused POOLREQ message ping-pongs
1661 was repaired.
1662
1663- A flaw in failover pool rebalancing that could cause POOLREQ messages to
1664 be sent outside of the min-balance/max-balance scheduled intervals has
1665 been repaired.
1666
1667- A cosmetic bug during potential-conflict recovery that caused the peer's
1668 'conflict-done' state message to be logged as 'unknown-state' has been
1669 repaired. It is now logged correctly.
1670
49f61135
DH
1671- A bug was fixed where the 'giaddr' may be used to find the client's subnet
1672 rather than its own 'ciaddr'.
1673
41d4652f
DH
1674- A log message was introduced to clarify the situation where a failover
1675 'address' parameter (the server's local address) did not resolve to an
1676 IPv4 address.
1677
2c9bf1f4
DH
1678- The minimum site code value was set to 224 in 3.1.0 to track RFC3942. This
1679 broke a lot of legacy site local configurations. The new code in place will
1680 track site local space minimum option codes and logs a warning to encourage
1681 updates and exploration of site local code migration problems. Option
1682 codes less than 128 in site local spaces remain inaccessible.
1683
1684- A possible relay agent option bug was repaired where random server
1685 initialization state may have been used to signal the relay agent
1686 information options sub-option code for the 'END' of the option space.
1687
cff9b78f
SK
1688- Fixes to allow code to compile and run on Solaris 9.
1689
c4d29896
SK
1690- Fixes to allow code to compile on Mac OS X Leopard (10.5).
1691
57fcb8d9
SK
1692- When server is configured with options that it overrides, a warning is
1693 issued when the configuration file is read, rather than at the time the
1694 option is overridden. This was important, because the warning was given
9a111ee8 1695 every time the option was overridden, which could create a lot of
57fcb8d9
SK
1696 unnecessary logging.
1697
219a65eb
DH
1698- Fixed a compilation problems on platforms that define a value for FDDI,
1699 which conflicts with a dhcp configuration syntax token by the same name.
1700
ffdf3c8c
DH
1701- When a failover server suspects it has encountered a peer running a
1702 version 3.0.x failover server, a warning that the failover wire protocol
1703 is incompatible is printed.
1704
1705- The failover server no longer issues a floating point error if it encounters
1706 a previously undefined option code.
1707
00a002fc
MA
1708- Fix startup error messages to report a missing "subnet6 declaration", rather
1709 than a missing "subnet declaration", when running as a DHCPv6 server.
1710
9a111ee8 1711- DHCPv6 client timestamp in DUID was based on the year 1970 rather
7e9f7a1b
FD
1712 than the year 2000.
1713
e2cfde76
FD
1714- Warn when attempting to use a hardware parameter in DHCPv6.
1715
cabdb9b1
FD
1716- DHCPv6 released resources are now marked as released by the client.
1717
5d89d60f
FD
1718- 'Soft' bindings have no more side-effects.
1719
61d75ea2
DH
1720 Changes since 4.0.0b3
1721
1722- The reverse dns name for PTR updates on IPv6 addresses has been fixed to
1723 use ip6.arpa. rather than default to in-addr.arpa and require user
1724 configuration.
76db44f9 1725
e32529a5
EH
1726- dhc6_lease_destroy() and dhc6_ia_destroy() now set lease and IA pointers
1727 to NULL after freeing, to prevent subsequent accesses to freed memory.
1728
9a111ee8 1729- The DHCPv6 server would not send the preference option unless the
76db44f9
SK
1730 client requested it, via the ORO. This has been fixed, so the DHCPv6
1731 server will always send the preference value if it is configured.
e4a6be15 1732
9a111ee8
TM
1733- When addresses were passed as hints to the server in an IA, they were
1734 incorrectly handled, sometimes being treated as an error. Now the
6f76de58
SK
1735 server will treat these as hints and ignore them if it cannot supply
1736 a requested address.
1737
703873ab
DH
1738- If the client had multiple addresses, and one expired (was not renewed
1739 by the server), the client would continue to attempt to renew the same
1740 old address over and over. Now, the client will omit any expired
1741 addresses from future Confirm, Renew, or Rebind messages.
1742
1743- dhclient -6 will now select renew/rebind timers based upon the longest
1744 address expiration time rather than the shortest expiration time, in
1745 order to avoid cascading renewals in the event a server elects not to
1746 extend one of multiple IAADDR leases.
1747
b024480e
DH
1748- The server now limits clients that request multiple addresses to one
1749 address per IA by default, which can be adjusted through the
1750 "limit-addrs-per-ia" configuration option.
1751
c0216cb7
DH
1752- The DHCPv6 client now issues fresh transaction IDs on Renew and Rebind
1753 message exchanges, rather than using the most recent ID.
1754
1ac57173
FD
1755- The DHCPv6 server now replies to Information-Request messages.
1756
83835822
DH
1757- A bug was fixed in the dhclient-script for BSDs to correctly carry error
1758 codes through some conditions.
1759
c54db708
FD
1760- The parsing of some options in the dhclient lease file, in particular
1761 the success DHCPv6 status-code, was fixed.
1762
e5d83524
DH
1763- A bug was fixed that caused the DHCPv6 ORO option to be corrupted with
1764 seemingly random values.
1765
821f2dda
DH
1766- A reference overleak in DHCPv6 shared network processing was repaired.
1767
f8b3c6f4
DH
1768- ./configure now autodetects local database locations rather than trying
1769 to put dhcpd.leases and dhclient.leases in /usr/local/var/db, which no
1770 one ever has.
1771
9a111ee8
TM
1772- Regression fix for bug where server advertised a IPv6 address in
1773 response to a SOLICIT but would not return the address in response
b9137d42
SK
1774 to a REQUEST.
1775
9f1d5a2f
DH
1776- A bug was fixed where the DHCPv6 server puts the NoAddrsAvail status
1777 code in the IA_NA was fixed. The status code now appears in the root
1778 level.
1779
e4a6be15
DH
1780 Changes since 4.0.0b2
1781
65cf86d7
EH
1782- Clarified error message when lease limit exceeded
1783
b1d3778c
DH
1784- Relative time may now be used as a qualifier for 'allow' and 'deny' access
1785 control lists. These directives may be used to assist in re-addressing
1786 address pools without having to constantly reconfigure the server. Please
1787 see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more information on allow/deny 'after time' syntax.
1788 Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen.
1789
bead14ea
DH
1790- The server will now include multiple IA_NA's and multiple IAADDRs within
1791 them, if advertised by the client. It still only seeks to allocate one
1792 new address.
1793
f765ec36
SK
1794 Changes since 4.0.0b1
1795
75135a3f 1796- Use different paths for PID and lease files when running in DHCPv4
adb95d23 1797 or DHCPv6 mode, so that servers for both protocols can be run
75135a3f
EH
1798 simultaneously on a single interface.
1799
5c2d55c7
EH
1800- Fixed a buffer overflow error which could have allowed a denial
1801 of service under unusual server configurations
1802
1803- Eliminated a spurious error message from the client
1804
9a111ee8 1805- A number of bugs with the internal handling of lease state on the
f765ec36 1806 server have been fixed. Some of these could cause server crashes.
fa9b593d 1807
edb1283e
DH
1808- The peer_wants_leases() changes pulled up from 3.1.0 were corrected,
1809 'never used' leases will no longer consistently shift between servers
1810 on every pool rebalance run.
1811
c71c6399
DH
1812- sendmsg()/recvmsg() control buffers are now declared in such a way to
1813 ensure they are correctly aligned on all (esp. 64-bit) architectures.
1814
5279b8f3
DH
1815- The client leasing subsystem was streamlined and corrected to account
1816 more closely for changes in client link attachment selection.
1817
ab3a540f 1818 Changes since 4.0.0a3
763cba6b 1819
9a111ee8 1820- The DHCP server no longer requires a "ddns-update-style" statement,
884a458f
SK
1821 and now defaults to "none", which means DNS updates are disabled.
1822
fa9b593d
DH
1823- Log messages when failover peer names mismatch have been improved to
1824 point out the problem.
1825
9a111ee8 1826- Bug where server advertised a IPv6 address in response to a SOLICIT
1b5053b5
SK
1827 but would not return the address in response to a REQUEST. Thanks to
1828 Dennis Kou for finding the bug.
1829
c886c298
SK
1830- Fixed an error causing the server to lock up on lease expiration,
1831 reported independently by Jothilingam Vasu and Dennis Kou.
1832
eaf7eb17
DH
1833- Fixed a ./configure bug where compile tests were failing due to
1834 "-Werror" (unused variable) rather than the actual test failure. Lead
1835 to inconsistent and unworkable auto-configurations.
1836
109e00db
DH
1837- Compilation with DLPI and -Werror has been repaired.
1838
9a111ee8 1839- Error in decoding IA_NA option if multiple interfaces are present
3ad9d48f
SK
1840 fixed by Marcus Goller.
1841
8eab95f2
DH
1842- DHCPv6 server Confirm message processing has been enhanced - it no
1843 longer replies only to clients with host {} records, it now replies
1844 as directed in RFC3315 section 18.2.2 - that is, to all clients
1845 regardless of the existence of bindings.
1846
07b9a351
DH
1847- A core dump during expired lease cleanup has been repaired.
1848
7285af30
DH
1849- DDNS updates state information are now stored in 'binding scopes' that
1850 follow the leases through their lifecycles. This enables DDNS teardowns
1851 on leases that are assigned and expired inbetween a server restart (the
1852 state is recovered from dhcpd.leases). Arbitrary user-specified binding
1853 scopes ('set var = "value";') are not yet supported.
1854
2394b26b
DH
1855- Additional compilation problems on HP/UX have been repaired.

e889ded1 1863
237f8d3a 1864- Bug in server configuration parser caused server to get stuck on
9a111ee8 1865 startup for certain bad pool declarations. Thanks to Guillaume

d00d373a
SK
1870- DHCPv6 is now the default. You can disable DHCPv6 support using the
1871 "--disable-dhcpv6" flag when you run the configure script.

8dfd5744
DH
1873- An internal database inconsistency bug was repaired where the server
1874 would segfault if a client attempted to renew a lease that had been
1875 loaded from persistent storage.
1876
45d545f0 1877- 'request' and 'also request' syntaxes have been added to accommodate
0c20eab3
DH
1878 the DHCPv6 client configuration. 'send dhcp6.oro' is no longer
1879 necessary.
1880
9a111ee8
TM
1881- Bug fixed where configuration file parsing did not work with
1882 zero-length options; this made it impossible to set the
f800f4f6
SK
1883 rapid-commit option.
1884
845e9677

1885- Bogus messages about host records with IPv4 fixed-addresses being of
1886 non-128-bits in length were removed.

1900- Compilation on HP/UX has been repaired. The changes should generally
1901 apply to any architecture that supplies SIOCGLIFCONF but does not
1902 use 'struct lifconf' structures to pass values.

1938- Corrected some situations where variables might be used without being
1939 initialized.
1940
1941- Silenced several other compiler warnings.
1942
1943- Include the more standard sys/uio.h rather than rely upon other
f66f02cc
DH
1944 header files to include it (fixes a BSD 4.2 compile failure).
1945
1946- Duplicate dhclient-script updates for DHCPv6 to all provided scripts.
a512d11b 1947
4ba58919
DH
1948- DHCPv4 I/O methods that failed to sense hardware address were corrected.
1949
1950- DHCPv4 is now the default (as documented) rather than DHCPv6. The default
1951 was set to DHCPv6 to facilitate ease early development, and forgotten.
1952
1953- Corrected a segmentation violation in DHCPv4 socket processing.
1954
8ea19a71 1955- dhclient will now fork() into the background once it binds to an
45d545f0 1956 IPv6 address, or immediately if the -n flag is supplied.
8ea19a71
DH
1957

1965- Replaced ./configure shellscripting with GNU Autoconf.
1966
98bd7ca0
DH
1967 Changes since 3.1.0 (NEW FEATURES)
1968
1969- DHCPv6 Client and Server protocol support. Use '-6' to run the daemons
1970 as v6-only. Use '-4' to run the daemons as v4-only (default. There is
1971 no support currently for both.
1972
1973- Server support for multiple IA_NA options, containing at most one
1974 IAADDR option.
1975
1976- Client support for one IA_NA option, containing any number of IAADDR
1977 options.
1978
1979- Server support for the DHCPv6 Information-request message.
1980
1981- Inappropriate unicast DHCPv6 messages sent to the server are now
1982 discarded, and this has rearchitected the IO system slightly.
1983
1984- The DHCPv6 server DUID defaults to type 1, is persistently stored in
1985 the leases database, and can be over-ridden (either completely, or by
1986 specifying type 1 or type 2).
1987
1988- The server only uses Rapid-Commit if it has been configured with the
1989 Rapid-Commit option and the client requests it.
1990
1991- DDNS support. We now update AAAA records in the same place we would
1992 update A records, if we have an IPv6 address. We also generate IP6.ARPA
1993 style names for PTR records if we're dealing with an IPv6 address. Both
1994 A and AAAA updates are done using the same 'fqdn.' virtual option space
1995 (although the DHCPv4 FQDN and DHCPv6 FQDN options are formatted
1996 differently, they both use the same code here).
1997
1998- The Linux dhclient-script attempts to set and remove assigned addresses,
1999 and to configure /etc/resolv.conf from nameserver and domain name
2000 configurations. It can be extended to configure other parameters.
2001
2002- Initial DHCPv6 lease support.
2003
2004- The IO system now tracks all local IP addresses, so that the DHCP
2005 applications (particularly the dhcrelay) can discern between what frames
2006 were transmitted to it, and what frames are being carried through it which
2007 it should not intercept.
2008

DH
2009 Changes since 3.1.0 (Maintenance)
2010
2011- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for virgin leases always
2012 mapped to the primary. Virgin leases now have an interleaved preference
2013 between primary and secondary.
2014
2015- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for clients with no client
2016 identifier was sometimes mishashed to the peer. Load balancing during
2017 runtime and pool rebalancing were opposing.
2018
aa3e348e
DH
2019- An assertion in lease counting relating to reserved leases was repaired.
2020
e9c59645
DH
2021- The subnet-mask option inclusion now conforms with RFC2132 section 3.3;
2022 it will only appear prior to the routers option if it is present on the
2023 Parameter-Request-List. The subnet-mask option will also only be
2024 included by default (if it is not on the PRL) in response to DISCOVER
2025 or REQUEST messages.
2026
2027- The FQDN option is only supplied if the client supplied an FQDN option or
2028 if the FQDN option was explicitly requested on the PRL.
2029
c104546d
DH
2030- Dynamic BOOTP leases are now load balanced in failover.
2031
b9d0cc05
DH
2032 Changes since 3.1.0rc1
2033
adb95d23 2034- The parse warning that 'deny dynamic bootp;' must be configured for
b9d0cc05
DH
2035 failover protected subnets was removed.
2036
a512cc3a
DH
2037 Changes since 3.1.0b2
2038
2039- Failover rebalance events no longer play ping pong with round errors
2040 (moving leases between free and back to backup where there are an
2041 odd number of leases).
2042
2043- The 'pool' log line has been split into two messages, one before the
2044 rebalance run, and one after.
2045
2046- Any queued BNDACKs are transmitted before transmitting new BNDUPDs.
2047 This enforces the correct sequence of events for the remote server
2048 processing these messages.
2049
fe5b0fdd 2050 Changes since 3.1.0b1
27837f95 2051
74dc3e0b
EH
2052- Fixed a bug that caused OMAPI clients to freeze when opening lease
2053 objects.
2054
1ba87b37
EH
2055- A new server config option "fqdn-reply" specifies whether the server
2056 should send out option 81 (FQDN). Defaults to "on". If set to "off",
2057 the FQDN option is not sent, even if the client requested it. This is
2058 needed because some clients misbehave otherwise. Thanks to Christof Chen
2059 at Allianz.
2060
a58da042
EH
2061- Allow trace output files (-tf option) to be overwritten, rather than
2062 crashing dhcpd if the file already exists
2063
61252edf
EH
2064- A bug was fixed that caused dhcpd to segfault if a pool was declared
2065 outside the scope of a subnet in dhcpd.conf.
2066
27837f95
DH
2067- Some uninitialized values were repaired in dhcpleasequery.c that
2068 caused the server to abort.
2069
4d2eaafb
DH
2070- A new server config option, 'do-reverse-updates', has been added
2071 which causes the server to abstain from performing updates on PTR
2072 records. Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen at Allianz.
2073
06211b40
DH
2074- A bug was repaired in subencapsulation support, where spaces separated
2075 by empty spaces would not get included.
2076
d6614ea2
DH
2077- A bug in dhclient was repaired which caused it to send parameter request
2078 lists of 55 bytes in length no matter how long the declared PRL was.
2079
132d38f2
DH
2080- 'dhcp.c(3953): non-null pointer' has been repaired. This fixes a flaw
2081 wherein the DHCPv4 server may ignore a configured server-identifier.
2082
fc3b9c90
DH
2083- A flaw in failover startup sequences was repaired that sometimes left
2084 the primary DHCP server's pool rebalance schedules unscheduled.
2085
c9feb859
DH
2086- Corrected a flaw that broke encapsulated spaces included due to presence
2087 on the parameter request list.
2088
c57db45c
SK
2089 Changes since 3.1.0a3
2090
2091- Some spelling fixes.
98311e4b 2092
bd2bc2fa
DH
2093 Changes since 3.1.0a2
2094
2095- A bug was fixed where attempting to permit leasequeries results in a
2096 fatal internal error, "Unable to find server option 49".
2097
85edef5c
DH
2098- A bug was fixed in dhclient rendering the textual output form of the
2099 domain-search option syntax.
2100
bdddcb7d
DH
2101 Changes since 3.1.0a1
2102
2103- A bug in the FQDN universe that added FQDN codes to the NWIP universe's
2104 hash table was repaired.
2105
616d67cb
DH
2106- The servers now try harder to transmit pending binding updates when
2107 entering normal state.
2108
2109- UPDREQ/UPDREQALL handling was optimized - it no longer dequeues and
2110 requeues all pending updates. This should reduce the number of spurious
66c8f734
DH
2111 'xid mismatch' log messages.
2112
2113- An option definition referencing leak was fixed, which resulted in early
2114 termination of dhclient upon the renewal event.
616d67cb 2115
6708d944
DH
2116- Some default hash table sizes were tweaked, some upwards, some downwards.
2117 3.1.0a1's tables resulted in a reduction in default server memory use.
2118 The new selected values provide more of a zero sum (increasing the size
2119 of tables likely to be populated, decreasing the size of tables unlikely).
2120
45d545f0 2121- Lease structures appear in three separate hashes: by IP address, by UID,
6708d944
DH
2122 and by hardware address. One type of table was used for all three, and
2123 improvements to IP address hashing were applied to all three (so UID and
2124 hardware addresses were treated like 4-byte integers). There are now two
2125 types of tables, and the uid/hw hashes use functions more appropriate
2126 to their needs.
2127
2128- The max-lease-misbalance percentage no longer causes scheduled rebalance
2129 runs to be skipped: it still governs the schedule, but every scheduled
2130 run will attempt balance.
2131
a7ee93fe
DH
2132- A segfault bug in recursive encapsulation support has been corrected.
2133
98311e4b
DH
2134 Changes since 3.0 (New Features)
2135
2136- A workaround for certain STSN servers that send a mangled domain-name
2137 option was introduced for dhclient. The client will now accept corrupted
2138 server responses, if they contain a valid DHCP_MESSAGE_TYPE (OFFER, ACK,
2139 or NAK). The server will continue to not accept corrupt client packets.
2140
98bd7ca0 2141- Support for 'reserved' (pseudo-static) and BOOTP leases via failover
a55ccdd0 2142 was introduced.
98311e4b
DH
2143
2144- Support for adding, removing, and managing class and subclass statements
2145 via OMAPI.
2146
a55ccdd0
DH
2147- The failover implementation was updated to comply with revision 12 of
2148 the protocol draft.
2149
98311e4b
DH
2150- 'make install' now creates the initial zero-length dhcpd.leases file if
2151 one does not already exist on the system.
2152
b43c87ad 2153- RFC3942 compliance, site-local option spaces start at 224 now, not 128.
b43c87ad 2154
0b17f049
DH
2155- The Load Balance Algorithm was misimplemented. The current implementation
2156 matches RFC 3074.
2157
2727c1cf
DH
2158- lcase() and ucase() configuration expressions have been added which adjust
2159 their arguments from upper to lower and lower to upper cases respectively.
2714a8ef 2160 Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
2727c1cf 2161
febbd402
DH
2162- The dhclient 'reject ...;' statement, which rejects leases given by named
2163 server-identifiers, now permits address ranges to be specified in CIDR
7d7073e7 2164 notation. Thanks to a patch from David Boyce.
febbd402 2165
ee912528
DH
2166- The subnet-mask option is now supplied by default, but at lowest
2167 priority. This helps a small minority of clients that provide parameter
2168 request lists, but do not list the subnet-mask option because they were
2169 designed to interoperate with a server that behaves in this manner.
2170
2171- The FQDN option is similarly supplied even if it does not appear on the
2172 parameter request list, but not to the exclusion of options that do
2173 appear at the parameter request list. Up until now it had ultimate
2174 priority over the client's parameter request list.
2175
f7fdb216 2176- Varying option space code and length bit widths (8/16/32) are now
51202707 2177 supported. This is a milestone in achieving RFC 3925 "VIVSO" and
f7fdb216
DH
2178 DHCPv6 support.
2179
5e864416
DH
2180- A new common (server or client) option, 'db-time-format local;', has
2181 been added which prints the local time in /var/db/dhcpd.leases rather
2182 than UTC. Thanks to a patch from Ken Lalonde.
2183
b500bd4c
DH
2184- Some patches to improve DHCP Server startup speed from Andrew Matheson
2185 have been incorporated.
2186
2426234f
DH
2187- Failover pairs now implement 'MAC Affinity' on leases moving from the
2188 active to free states. Leases that belonged to the failover secondary
2189 are moved to BACKUP state rather than FREE upon exiting EXPIRED state.
2190 If lease rebalancing must move leases, it tries first to move leases
2191 that belong to the peer in need.
2192
2193- The server no longer sends POOLREQ messages unless the pool is severely
2194 misbalanced in the peer's favor (see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more details).
2195
2196- Pool rebalance events no longer happen upon successfully allocating a
2197 lease. Instead, they happen on a schedule. See 'man dhcpd.conf' for the
2198 min-balance and max-balance statements for more information.
2199
334bf491
DH
2200- The DHCP Relay Agent Information Option / Link Selection Sub-Option
2201 is now supported. (See RFC3527 for details).
2202
3004bebf
DH
2203- A new DDNS related server option, update-conflict-detection, has been
2204 added. If this option is enabled, dhcpd will perform normal DHCID
2205 conflict resolution (the default). If this option is disabled, it will
2206 instead trust the assigned name implicitly (removing any other bindings
2207 on that name). This option has not been made available in dhclient.
2208
567e8561
DH
2209- In those cases where the DHCP software manufactures an IP header (to
2210 transmit via bpf, lpf, etc), the IP TTL the software selects has been
2211 increased from 16 to 128. This is intended to match Microsoft Windows
2212 DHCP Client behaviour, to increase compatibility.
2213
a396d25f
DH
2214- 'ignore client-updates;' now has behaviour that is different from
2215 'deny client-updates;'. The client's request is not truly ignored,
2216 rather it is encouraged. Should this value be configured, the server
2217 updates DNS as though client-updates were set to 'deny'. That is, it
2218 enters into DNS whatever it is configured to do already, provided it is
2219 configured to. Then it sends a response to the client that lets the
2220 client believe it is performing client updates (which it will), probably
2221 for a different name. In essence, this lets the client do as it will,
2222 ignoring this aspect of their request.
2223
dba5803b
DH
2224- Support for compressed 'domain name list' style DHCP option contents, and
2225 in particular the domain search option (#119) was added.
2226
41e45067 2227- The DHCP LEASEQUERY protocol as defined in RFC4388 is now implemented.
6d103865
SK
2228 LEASEQUERY lets you query the DHCP server for information about a lease,
2229 using either an IP address, MAC address, or client identifier. Thanks
2230 to a patch from Justin Haddad.
2231
41e45067
DH
2232- DHCPD is now RFC2131 section 4.1 compliant (broadcast to all-ones ip and
2233 ethernet mac address) on the SCO platform specifically without any strange
2234 ifconfig hacks. Many thanks go to the Kroger Co. for donating the
2235 hardware and funding the development.
6d103865 2236
b543fea9
DH
2237- A new common configuration executable statement, execute(), has been
2238 added. This permits dhcpd or dhclient to execute a named external
2239 program with command line arguments specified from other configuration
2240 language. Thanks to a patch written by Mattias Ronnblom, gotten to us
2241 via Robin Breathe.
2242
b22de500
DH
2243- A new dhcp server option 'adaptive-lease-time-threshold' has been added
2244 which causes the server to substantially reduce lease-times if there are
2245 few (configured percentage) remaining leases. Thanks to a patch submitted
2246 from Christof Chen.
2247
96bbe8c5
SK
2248- Encapsulated option spaces within encapsulated option spaces is now
2249 formally supported.
2250
b8221d95
DH
2251 Changes since 3.0.6rc1
2252
2253- supersede_lease() now requeues leases in their respective hardware
2254 address hash bucket. This mirrors client identifier behaviour.
2255
c1e6c832
DH
2256 Changes since 3.0.5
2257
f546c28b
DH
2258- Assorted fixes for broken network devices: Packet length is now
2259 determined from the IP header length field to finally calculate the
2260 UDP payload length, because some NIC drivers return more data than
5a22eb63 2261 they actually received.
f546c28b
DH
2262
2263- UDP packets are now stored in aligned data structures.
2264
c1e6c832
DH
2265- A logic error in omapi interface code was repaired that might result in
2266 incorrectly indicating 'up' state when any flags were set, rather than
23e10d37
DH
2267 specifically the INTERFACE_REQUESTED flag. Thanks to a patch from
2268 Jochen Voss which got to us via Andrew Pollock at Debian.
c1e6c832 2269
75ab3070
DH
2270- A reference leak on binding scopes set by ddns updates was repaired.
2271
d69fb6a8 2272- A memory leak in the minires_nsendsigned() function call was repaired.
23e10d37 2273 Effectively, this leaked ~176 bytes per DDNS update.
d69fb6a8 2274
02428754
DH
2275- In the case where an "L2" DHCP Relay Agent (one that does not set giaddr)
2276 was directly attached to the same broadcast domain as the DHCP server,
2277 the RFC3046 relay agent information option was not being returned to the
2278 relay in the server's replies. This was fixed; the dhcp server no longer
2279 requires the giaddr to reply with relay agent information. Note that
2280 this also improves compatibility with L2 devices that "intercept" DHCP
2281 packets and expect relay agent information even in unicast (renewal)
23e10d37
DH
2282 replies. Thanks to a patch from Pekka Silvonen.
2283
2284- A bug was fixed where the BOOTP header 'sname' field had a value, the
2285 copy written to persistent storage was actually the contents of the
2286 'file' field.
02428754 2287
ecde99a3
DH
2288- A bug was fixed where the nwip virtual option space was referencing
2289 the fqdn option's virtual option space's option cache.
2290
67674ffb
DH
2291- Timestamp parsing errors that indicated missing "minutes" fields rather
2292 than the actually missing "seconds" fields have been repaired thanks to
2293 a patch from Kevin Steves.
2294
830ebc4c
DH
2295- A grammar error in the dhclient.8 manpage was repaired thanks to a patch
2296 from Chris Wagner.
2297
c759db75
DH
2298- Several spelling typos were repaired, and some cross-references to other
2299 relevant documents were included in the manpages, thanks to a patch
2300 by Andrew Pollock which got to us via Tomas Pospisek.
2301
9aa3f3a5
DH
2302- Some bugs were fixed in the 'emergency relay agent options hologram'
2303 which is used to retain relay agent option contents from when the
2304 client was in INIT or REBIND states. This should solve problems where
2305 relay agent options were not echoed from the server, even when giaddr
2306 was set.
2307
3d0c598a
DH
2308- dhclient now closes its descriptor to dhclient.leases prior to executing
2309 dhclient-script. Thanks to a patch from Tomas Pospisek.
2310
d5b6835f
DH
2311- The server's "by client-id" and "by hardware address" hash table lists
2312 are now sorted according to the preference to re-allocate that lease to
2313 returning clients. This should eliminate pool starvation problems
2314 arising when "INIT" clients were given new leases rather than presently
2315 active ones.
2316
02428754 2317 Changes since 3.0.5rc1
0a73b7b6 2318
901306d5 2319- A bug was repaired in fixes to the dhclient, which sought to run the
0a73b7b6
SK
2320 dhclient-script with the 'EXPIRE' state should it receive a NAK in
2321 response to a REQUEST. The client now iterates the PREINIT state
2322 after the EXPIRE state, so that interfaces that might be configured
2323 'down' can be brought back 'up' and initialized.
2324
87a08ccc
DH
2325- DHCPINFORM handling for clients that properly set ciaddr and come to the
2326 server via a relay aget has been repaired.
2327
6da113fb
DH
2328 Changes since 3.0.4
2329
2330- A warning that host statements declared within subnet or shared-network
2331 scopes are actually global has been added.
2332
2333- The default minimum lease time (if min-lease-time was not specified)
2334 was raised from 0 to 300. 0 is not thought to be sensible, and is
2335 known to be damaging.
2336
2337- Added additional fatal error sanity checks surrounding lease binding
2338 state count calculations (free/active counts used for failover pool
2339 balancing).
2340
dcc557db
DH
2341- Some time value size fixes in 3.0.4 brought on from FreeBSD /usr/ports were
2342 misapplied to server values rather than client values. The server no longer
2343 advertises 8-byte lease-time options when on 64-bit platforms.
2344
1b2ab55f
DH
2345- A bug where leases not in ACTIVE state would get billed to billed classes
2346 (classes with lease limitations) was fixed. Non-active leases OFFERed
2347 to clients are no longer billed (but billing is checked before offering).
2348
e48891e8
DH
2349- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated in regard to the ddns-domainname
2350 configuration option - the default configuration and results should be
2351 more clear now.
2352
6cbc6629
DH
2353- If the dhclient were to receive a DHCPNAK while it was in the RENEW
2354 state (and consequently, had an active, 'bound' address and related
2355 configuration options), it would fail to 'tear down' this information
2356 before proceeding into INIT state. dhclient now iterates the dhclient-
2357 script with the 'EXPIRE' action to cause these teardowns prior to entering
1d3bfb17 2358 INIT state. Thanks to a patch from Chris Zimmerman.
6cbc6629 2359
c5fec5fa
DH
2360- The omapi.1 manpage had some formatting errors repaired thanks to a patch
2361 from Yoshihiko Sarumaru.
2362
33e1cb2b
DH
2363- A few lines of code that were failover-specific were moved within
2364 #if defined() clauses so that compilation without failover could be
2365 made possible.
2366
2bddf829
DH
2367- The log message emitted when the 'leased-address' value was not available
2368 in dhcpd.conf "executable statements" has been updated to be more helpful.
2369 Manpage information for this value has also been updated.
2370
87578987
DH
2371- Abandoned or dissociated (err condition) leases now remove any related
2372 dynamic dns bindings. Thanks to a patch from Patrick Schoo.
2373
e77c575f
DH
2374- Attempting to write a new lease file to replace a corrupt (due to
2375 encountering non-retryable errors during writing) lease file should
2376 no longer result in an infinite recursion.
2377
2178df03
DH
2378- Host declaration hardware addresses and client identifiers may only be
2379 configured once. dhcpd will now fail to load config files that specify
2380 multiple identifiers (previous versions would silently over-ride the
2381 value with the later configured value).
2382
d5341d9b
SK
2383- Several option codes that have been allocated since our last release
2384 have been named and documented.
2385
2386- Option names of the form "unknown-123" have been removed from the in-
2387 memory hash tables. In order to support options of these names that
2388 may appear in dhclient.leases or similar in previous versions, the
2389 parser will now find the new option code definition, or mock up a
2390 generic option code definition. This should result in a smooth
2391 transition from one name to the other, as the new name is used to
2392 write new output.
2393
6da113fb
DH
2394 Changes since 3.0.4rc1
2395
2396- The dhcp-options.5 manpage was updated to correct indentation errors
2397 thanks to a patch from Jean Delvare.
2398
2399 Changes since 3.0.4b3
2400
2401- Some manual pages were clarified pursuant to discussion on the dhcp-server
2402 mailing list.
2403
88cd8aca
DH
2404 Changes since 3.0.4b2
2405
45d545f0 2406- Null-termination sensing for certain clients that unfortunately require
88cd8aca
DH
2407 it in DHCPINFORM processing was repaired.
2408
2409- The host-name option and a few others were moved from "X" format to "t"
2410 format to be compatible with new NULL handling functions.
2411
2412- DHCPINFORM processing is a little more careful about return addressing
2413 its responses, or if responding via a relay. The INFORM related
2414 messages also log the 'effective client ip address' rather than the
2415 client's supplied ciaddr (since some clients produce null ciaddrs).
2416
2417- The server was inappropriately sending leases to the RESET state in the
2418 event that multiple active leases were found to match a singly-identified
2419 client. This was changed to RELEASED (by accepting a different, ACTIVE
2420 binding, the client is implicitly releasing its lease). This repairs a
2421 bug wherein secondary servers in failover pairs detecting this condition
2422 move leases to RESET, and primaries refuse to accept that state
2423 transition (properly).
2424
2425- The memset-after-dmalloc() changes made in 3.0.4b1 have been backed out.
2426
2427 Changes since 3.0.4b1
2428
2429- Command line parsing in omshell was repaired - it no longer closes
2430 STDIN after reading one line.
2431
2432- The resolver library no longer closes the /etc/resolv.conf file
2433 descriptor it opened twice.
2434
2435- Changes to trailing NULL removal in 't' option-atoms has been rethought,
2436 it now includes 'd' (domain name) types, and tries hard not to rewind an
2437 option beyond the start of the text field it is un-terminating.
2438
2439 Changes since 3.0.3
2440
2441- A DDNS update handling function was misusing the DNS error codes, rather
2442 than the internal generic result enumeration. The result is a confusing
2443 syslog line, logging the wrong condition.
2444
2445- The DHCP Server was not checking pool balance in the case where it brought
2446 a non-ACTIVE lease out of storage for a client that was returning to use
2447 a lease it once had long ago, and had since expired.
2448
2449- Failover peers no longer bother to look for free leases to allocate when
2450 they already found the client's ACTIVE lease. DISCOVERs are load balanced
98bd7ca0 2451 whether freely-allocated or not, unless the server doubts the peer has
88cd8aca
DH
2452 leases to allocate.
2453
2454- Fixed a bug in dhcrelay agent addition code that suppressed trailing
45d545f0 2455 PAD options - it was suppressing only one trailing PAD option, rather
88cd8aca
DH
2456 than the entire block of them.
2457
3a16098f
DH
2458! Fixed some unlikely overlapping-region memcpy() bugs in dhcrelay agent
2459 option addition and stripping code. Added a few sanity checks. Although
2460 highly improbable, due to requiring the reception of a DHCP datagram well
2461 in excess of all known to be used physical MTU limitations, it is possible
2462 this may have been used in a stack overflow security vulnerability. Thanks
2463 to a patch from infamous42md.
2464
2465! Added some sanity checks to OMAPI connection/authentication code.
2466 Although highly improbable, due to having to deliver in excess of 2^32
2467 bytes of data via the OMAPI channel, not to mention requiring dhcpd to
2468 be able to malloc() a memory region 2^32 bytes in size, it was possible
2469 this might have resulted in a heap overflow security vulnerability.
2470 Thanks to a patch from infamous42md.
88cd8aca
DH
2471
2472- dmalloc() memset()'s the non-debug (data) portion of the allocated
2473 memory to zero. Code that memset()'s the result returned by dmalloc() to
2474 zero is redundant. These redundancies were removed.
2475
2476- Some type declaration corrections to u_int16_t were made in common/tr.c
4b97eaff 2477 (Token Ring support) thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
88cd8aca
DH
2478
2479- A failover bug that was allowing leases that EXPIRED or were RELEASED
2480 where tsfp and tstp are identical timestamps to languish in these
2481 transitional states has been repaired. As a side effect, lease
2482 databases should be kept more consistent overall, not just for these
2483 transitional states.
2484
2485- If the lease db is deleted out from under the daemon, and it moves to rewrite
2486 the db, it will go ahead with the operation and move the new db into place
2487 once it detects the old db does not exist.
2488
2489- dhclient now ignores IRDA, SIT, and IEEE1394 network interfaces, as it
2490 is either nonsensical or (in the case of IEEE1394) is not known to support
2491 these interfaces. Thanks to Marius Gedminas and Andrew Pollock of Debian.
2492
2493- Some previously undocumented reasons for dhclient-script invoking has
45d545f0 2494 been documented in the dhclient-script.8 manpage.
88cd8aca
DH
2495
2496- Failover potential expiry calculations (TSTP) have been corrected. Results
2497 should be substantially more consistent, and proper given the constraints.
2498
2499- Adjusted lease state validation checks in potential-conflict, to
2500 account for possible clock skew similarly to normal state, and several
2501 previously illegal transitions were made legal (ex: active->released).
2502
2503- An impossible sanity check was removed from omapi/buffer.c, thanks to a
2504 patch from 'infamous42md'.
2505
2506- An OMAPI host/network byte order problem in lease time values has been
2507 repaired.
2508
2509- Several minor bugs, largely relating to treating 8-byte time values as
2510 4-byte entities, have been repaired after careful review of the FreeBSD
2511 ports collection's patch set. Thanks to the nameless entities who have
2512 contributed to the FreeBSD ports.
2513
2514- When writing a trace file, the file is now created with permissions 0600,
2515 to help administrators avoid accidentally publicising sensitive config
2516 data.
2517
2518- The calculation of the maximum size of DHCP packets no longer includes
2519 Ethernet framing overhead. The result is that the 'Maximum Message
2520 Size' option advertised by clients, or the default value 576, is no
2521 longer reduced by 14 bytes, and instead directly reflects the IP level
2522 MTU (and the default, minimum allowed IP MTU of 576).
2523
2524- The special status of RELEASED/EXPIRED/RESET leases when a server
2525 is operating in partner-down was fixed. It no longer requires a
2526 lease be twice the MCLT beyond STOS to 'reallocate', and the expiry
2527 event to turn these into FREE leases without peer acknowledgement
2528 (after STOS+MCLT) has been repaired.
2529
2530- Compilation on older Solaris systems (lacking /usr/include/sys/int_types.h)
2531 has been repaired.
2532
2533- "append"ing a string onto the end of a "t" type option (such as the
2534 domain-name field) that had been improperly NULL-terminated by the
2535 DHCP server will no longer result in a truncated string containing
2536 only the option from the server, and not the expected appended value.
4b97eaff 2537 Thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
88cd8aca
DH
2538
2539- File handlers on configuration state (config files and lease dbs) should
98bd7ca0 2540 be treated consistently, regardless of whether TRACING is defined or not.
88cd8aca 2541
45d545f0 2542- The Linux build environment has had some minor improvements - better
88cd8aca
DH
2543 sensing of 64-bit pointer sizes (only used for establishing an icmp_id),
2544 and corrections to #if operators regarding LINUX_MAJOR should it ever
2545 move to 3.[01].x.
2546
2547- The server now tries harder to survive the condition where it is unable
2548 to open a new lease file to rewrite the lease state database.
2549

DH
2550 Changes since 3.0.3b3
2551
2552- dhclient.conf documentation for interface {} was updated to reflect recent
2553 discussion on the dhcp-hackers mailing list.
2554
2555- In response to reports that the software does not compile on GCC 4.0.0,
2556 -Werror was removed from Makefile.conf for all platforms that used it.
2557 We will address the true problem in a future release; this is a temporary
2558 workaround.
2559
2560 Changes since 3.0.3b2
2561
2562- An error in code changes introduced in 3.0.3b2 was corrected, which caused
2563 static BOOTP clients to receive random addresses.
2564
2565 Changes since 3.0.3b1
2566
2567- A bug was fixed in BOOTPREQUEST handling code wherein stale references to
2568 host records would be left behind on leases that were not allocated to the
2569 client currently booting (eg in the case where the host was denied booting).
2570
2571- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated to be more clear in regards to
2572 multiple host declarations (thanks to Vincent McIntyre). 'Interim' style
2573 dynamic updates were also retouched.
2574
98311e4b
DH
2575 Changes since 3.0.2
2576
2577- A bug was fixed where a server might load balance a DHCP REQUEST to its
45d545f0 2578 peer after already choosing not to load balance the preceding DISCOVER.
98311e4b
DH
2579 The peer cannot allocate the originating server's lease.
2580
2581- In the case where a secondary server lost its stable storage while the
2582 primary was still in communications-interrupted, and came back online,
2583 the lease databases would not be fully transferred to the secondary.
2584 This was due to the secondary errantly sending an extra UPDREQ message
2585 when the primary made its state transition to PARTNER-DOWN known.
2586
2587- The package will now compile cleanly in gcc 3.3 and 3.4. As a side effect,
2588 lease structures will be 9 bytes smaller on all platforms. Thanks to
4b97eaff 2589 Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
2590
2591- Interface discovery code in DISCOVER_UNCONFIGURED mode is now
2592 properly restricted to only detecting broadcast interfaces. Thanks
4b97eaff 2593 to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
2594
2595- decode_udp_ip_header was changed so that the IP address was copied out
2596 to a variable, rather than referenced by a pointer. This enforces 4-byte
2597 alignment of the 32-bit IP address value. Thanks to a patch from Dr.
2598 Peter Poeml.
2599
2600- An incorrect log message was corrected thanks to a patch from
2601 Dr. Peter Poeml.
2602
2603- A bug in DDNS was repaired, where if the server's first DDNS action was
2604 a DDNS removal rather than a DDNS update, the resolver library's
2605 retransmit timer and retry timer was set to the default, implying a
2606 15 second timeout interval. Which is a little excessive in a synchronous,
2607 single-threaded system. In all cases, ISC DHCP should now hold fast to
2608 a 1-second timeout, trying only once.
2609
2610- The siaddr field was being improperly set to the server-identifier when
2611 responding to DHCP messages. RFC2131 clarified the siaddr field as
2612 meaning the 'next server in the bootstrap process', eg a tftp server.
2613 The siaddr field is now left zeroed unless next-server is configured.
2614
2615- mockup_lease() could have returned in an error condition (or in the
2616 condition where no fixed-address was found matching the shared
2617 network) with stale references to a host record. This is probably not
2618 a memory leak since host records generally never die anyway.
2619
2620- A bug was repaired where failover servers would let stale client identifiers
2621 persist on leases that were reallocated to new clients not sending an id.
2622
2623- Binding scopes ("set var = value;") are now removed from leases allocated
2624 by failover peers if the lease had expired. This should help reduce the
2625 number of stale binding scopes on leases.
2626
2627- A small memory leak was closed involving client identifiers larger than
2628 7 bytes, and failover.
2629
2630- Configuring a subnet in dhcpd.conf with a subnet mask of 32 bits might
2631 cause an internal function to overflow heap. Thanks to Jason Vas Dias
4b97eaff 2632 at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
2633
2634- Some inconsistencies in treating numbers that the lexer parsed as 'NUMBER'
2635 or 'NUMBER_OR_NAME' was repaired. Hexadecimal parsing is affected, and
2636 should work better.
2637
2638- In several cases, parse warnings were being issued before the lexical
2639 token had been advanced to the token whose value was causing an error...
2640 causing parse warnings to claim the problem is on the wrong token.
2641
2642- Host declarations matching on client identifier for dynamic leases will
2643 no longer match fixed-address host declarations (this is now identical
2644 to behaviour for host records matching on hardware address).
2645
2646 Changes since 3.0.2rc3
2647
2648- A previously undocumented configuration directive, 'local-address',
2649 was documented in the dhcpd.conf manpage.
2650
2651 Changes since 3.0.2rc2
2652
45d545f0 2653- Two variables introduced in 3.0.2b1 were used without being initialized
98311e4b
DH
2654 in the case where neither the FILE nor SNAME fields were available for
2655 overloading. This was repaired.
2656
2657- A heretofore believed to be impossible corner case of the option
2658 overloading implementation turned out to be possible ("Unable to sort
2659 overloaded options after 10 tries."). The implementation was reworked
2660 to consider the case of an option so large it would require more than
2661 three chunks to fit.
2662
2663- Many other instances of variables being used without being initialized
2664 were repaired.
2665
2666- An uninitialized variable in omapi_io_destroy() led to the discovery
2667 that this function may result in orphaned pointers (and hence, a memory
2668 leak).
2669
2670 Changes since 3.0.2rc1
2671
2672- allocate_lease() was rewritten to repair a bug in which the server would
2673 try to allocate an ABANDONED lease when FREE leases were available.
2674
2675 Changes since 3.0.2b1
2676
2677- Some dhcp-eval.5 manpage formatting was repaired.
2678
2679 Changes since 3.0.1
2680
2681- A bug was fixed in the server's 'option overloading' implementation,
2682 where options loaded into the 'file' and 'sname' packet fields were
2683 not aligned precisely as rfc2131 dictates.
2684
2685- The FreeBSD client script was changed to support the case where a domain
2686 name was not provided by the server.
2687
2688- A memory leak in 'omshell' per each command line parsed was
2689 repaired, thanks to a patch from Jarkko Torppa.
2690
2691- Log functions writing to stderr were adjusted to use the STDERR_FILENO
2692 system definition rather than '2'. This is a no-op for 90% of platforms.
2693
2694- One call to trace_write_packet_iov() counted the number of io vectors
2695 incorrectly, causing inconsistent tracefiles. This was fixed.
2696
2697- Some expression parse failure memory leaks were closed.
2698
2699- A host byte order problem in tracefiles was repaired.
2700
2701- Pools configured in DHCPD for failover possessing permission lists that
adb95d23 2702 previously were assumed to not include dynamic bootp clients are now
98311e4b
DH
2703 a little more pessimistic. The result is, dhcpd will nag you about just
2704 about most pools that possess a 'allow' statement with no 'deny' that
2705 would definitely match a dynamic bootp client.
2706
2707- The 'ddns-update-style' configuration warning bit now insists that
2708 the configuration be globally scoped.
2709
2710- Two memory leaks in dhclient were closed thanks to a patch from Felix
2711 Farkas.
2712
2713- Some minor but excellently pedantic documentation errors were fixed
2714 thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
2715
2716- Bugs in operator precedence in executable statements have been repaired
2717 once again. More legal syntaxes should be parsed legally.
2718
2719- Failing to initialize a tracefile for any reason if a tracefile was
2720 specified is now a fatal error. Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
2721
2722- Corrected a bug in which the number of leases transferred as calculated
2723 by the failover primary and sent to peers in POOLRESP responses may be
2724 incorrect. This value is not believed to be used by other failover
2725 implementations, excepting perhaps as logged information.
2726
2727- Corrected a bug in which 'dhcp_failover_send_poolresp()' was in fact
2728 sending POOLREQ messages instead of POOLRESP mesasges. This message
2729 was essentially ignored since failover secondaries effectively do not
2730 respond to POOLREQ messages.
2731
2732- Type definitions for various bitwidths of integers in the sunos5-5
2733 build of ISC DHCP have been fixed. It should compile and run more
2734 easily when built in 64-bit for this platform.
2735
2736- "allow known-clients;" is now a legal syntax, to avoid confusion.
2737
2738- If one dhcp server chooses to 'load balance' a request to its failover
2739 peer, it first checks to see if it believes said peer has a free
2740 lease to allocate before ignoring the DISCOVER.
2741
2742- log() was logging a work buffer, rather than the value returned by
2743 executing the statements configured by the user. In some cases,
2744 the work buffer and the intended results were the same. In some other
2745 cases, they were not. This was fixed thanks to a patch from Gunnar
2746 Fjone and directconnect.no.
2747
2748- Compiler warnings for some string type conversions was fixed, thanks
2749 to Andreas Gustafsson.
2750
2751- The netbsd build environments were simplified to one, in which
2752 -Wconversion is not used, thanks to Andreas Gustafsson.
2753
2754- How randomness in the backoff-cutoff dhclient configuration variable
2755 is implemented was better documented in the manpage, and the behaviour
2756 of dhclient in REQUEST timeout handling was changed to match that of
2757 DISCOVER timeout handling.
2758
2759- Omapi was hardened against clients that pass in null values, thanks
2760 to a patch from Mark Jason Dominus.
2761
2762- A bug was fixed in dhclient that kept it from doing client-side
2763 ddns updates. Thanks to a patch from Andreas Gustafsson, which
2764 underwent some modification after review by Jason Vas Dias.
2765
2766- Failover implementations disconnected due to the network between
2767 them (rather than one of the two shutting down) will now try to
2768 re-establish the failover connection every 5 seconds, rather than
2769 to simply try once and give up until one of them is restarted.
2770 Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from Infoblox, and field testing
2771 by Greger V. Teigre which led to an enhancement to it.
2772
2773- A problem that kept DHCP Failover secondaries from tearing down
2774 ddns records was repaired. Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from
2775 Infoblox.
2776
2777- 64bit pointer sizes are detected properly on FreeBSD now.
2778
2779- A bug was repaired where the DHCP server would leave stale references
2780 to host records on leases it once thought about offering to certain
2781 clients. The result would be to apply host and 'known' scopes to the
2782 wrong clients (possibly denying booting). NOTE: The 'mis-host' patch
2783 that was being circulated as a workaround is not the way this bug was
2784 fixed. If you were a victim of this bug in 3.0.1, you are cautioned
2785 to proceed carefully and see if it fixes your problem.
2786
2787- A bug was repaired in the server's DHCPINFORM handling, where it
2788 tried to divine the client's address from the source packet and
2789 would get it wrong. Thanks to Anshuman Singh Rawat.
2790
2791- A log message was introduced to help illuminate the case where the
2792 server was unable to find a lease to assign to any BOOTP client.
2793 Thanks to Daniel Baker.
2794
2795- A minor dhcpd.conf.5 manpage error was fixed.
2796
2797 Changes since 3.0.1rc14
2798
2799- The global variable 'cur_time' was centralized and is now uniformly of a
2800 type #defined in system-dependent headers. It had previously been defined
2801 in one of many places as a 32-bit value, and this causes mayhem on 64-bit
2802 big endian systems. It probably wasn't too healthy on little endian
2803 systems either.
2804
2805- A printf format string error introduced in rc14 was repaired.
2806
2807- AIX system-dependent header file was altered to only define NO_SNPRINTF
2808 if the condition used to #ifdef in vsnprintf in AIX' header files
2809 is false.
2810
2811- The Alpha/OSF system-dependent header file was altered to define
2812 NO_SNPRINTF on OS revisions older than 4.0G.
2813
2814- omapip/test.c had string.h added to its includes.
2815
2816 Changes since 3.0.1rc13
2817
2818! CAN-2004-0460 - CERT VU#317350: Five stack overflow exploits were closed
2819 in logging messages with excessively long hostnames provided by the
2820 clients. It is highly probable that these could have been used by
2821 attackers to gain arbitrary root access on systems using ISC DHCP 3.0.1
2822 release candidates 12 or 13. Special thanks to Gregory Duchemin for
2823 both finding and solving the problem.
2824
2825! CAN-2004-0461 - CERT VU#654390: Once the above was closed, an opening
45d545f0 2826 in log_*() functions was evidenced, on some specific platforms where
98311e4b
DH
2827 vsnprintf() was not believed to be available and calls were wrapped to
2828 sprintf() instead. Again, credit goes to Gregory Duchemin for finding
2829 the problem. Calls to snprintf() are now linked to a distribution-local
2830 snprintf implementation, only in those cases where the architecture is
2831 not known to provide one (see includes/cf/[arch].h). If you experience
2832 linking problems with snprintf/vsnprintf or 'isc_print_' functions, this
2833 is where to look. This vulnerability did not exist in any previously
2834 published version of ISC DHCP.
2835
2836- Compilation on hpux 11.11 was repaired.
2837
2838- 'The cross-compile bug fix' was backed out.
2839
2840 Changes since 3.0.1rc12
2841
2842- Fixed a bug in omapi lease lookup function, to form the hardware
2843 address for the hash lookup correctly, thanks to a patch from
2844 Richard Hirst.
2845
2846- Fixed a bug where dhcrelay was sending relayed responses back to the
2847 broadcast address, but with the source's unicast mac address. Should
2848 now conform to rfc2131 section 4.1.
2849
2850- Cross-compile bug fix; use $(AR) instead of ar. Thanks to Morten Brorup.
2851
2852- Fixed a crash bug in dhclient where dhcpd servers that do not provide
2853 renewal times results in an FPE. As a side effect, dhclient can now
2854 properly handle 0xFFFFFFFF (-1) expiry times supplied by servers. Thanks
2855 to a patch from Burt Silverman.
2856
2857- The 'ping timeout' debugs from rc12 were removed to -DDEBUG only,
45d545f0 2858 and reformatted to correct a compilation error on Solaris platforms.
98311e4b
DH
2859
2860- A patch was applied which fixes a case where leases read from the
2861 leases database do not properly over-ride previously read leases.
2862
2863- dhcpctl.3 manpage was tweaked.
2864
2865 Changes since 3.0.1rc11
2866
2867- A patch from Steve Campbell was applied with minor modifications to
2868 permit reverse dns PTR record updates with values containing spaces.
2869
2870- A patch from Florian Lohoff was applied with some modifications to
2871 dhcrelay. It now discards packets whose hop count exceeds 10 by default,
2872 and a command-line option (-c) can be used to set this threshold.
2873
2874- A failover bug relating to identifying peers by name length instead of
2875 by name was fixed.
2876
45d545f0 2877- Declaring failover configs within shared-network statements should no
98311e4b
DH
2878 longer result in error.
2879
2880- The -nw command line option to dhclient now works.
2881
2882- Thanks to a patch from Michael Richardson:
2883 - Some problems with long option processing have been fixed.
2884 - Some fixes to minires so that updates of KEY records will work.
2885
2886- contrib/ms2isc was updated by Shu-Min Chang of the Intel Corporation.
2887 see contrib/ms2isc/readme.txt for revision notes.
2888
2889- Dhclient no longer uses shell commands to kill another instance of
2890 itself, it sends the signal directly. Thanks to a patch from Martin
2891 Blapp.
2892
2893- The FreeBSD dhclient-script was changed so that a failure to write to
2894 /etc/resolv.conf does not prematurely end the script. This keeps dhclient
2895 from looping infinitely when this is the case. Thanks to a patch from
2896 Martin Blapp.
2897
2898- A patch from Bill Stephens was applied which resolves a problem with lease
2899 expiry times in failover configurations.
2900
2901- A memory leak in configuration parsing was closed thanks to a patch from
2902 Steve G.
2903
2904- The function which discovers interfaces will now skip non-broadcast or
2905 point-to-point interfaces, thanks to a patch from David Brownlee.
2906
2907- Options not yet known by the dhcpd or dhclient have had their names
2908 changed such that they do not contain # symbols, in case they should ever
2909 appear in a lease file. An option that might have been named "#144" is
2910 now "unknown-144".
2911
2912- Another patch from Bill Stephens which allows the ping-check timeout to
2913 be configured as 'ping-timeout'. Defaults to 1.
2914
2915 Changes since 3.0.1rc10
2916
2917- Potential buffer overflows in minires repaired.
2918
2919- A change to the linux client script to use /bin/bash, since /bin/sh may
2920 not be bash.
2921
2922- Some missing va_end cleanups thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
2923
2924- A correction of boolean parsing syntax validation - some illegal syntaxes
2925 that worked before are now detected and produce errs, some legal syntaxes
2926 that errored before will now work properly.
2927
2928- Some search-and-replace errors that caused some options to change their
2929 names was repaired.
2930
2931- Shu-min Chang of the Intel corporation has contributed a perl script and
2932 module that converts the MS NT4 DHCP configuration to a ISC DHCP3
2933 configuration file.
2934
2935- Applied the remainder of the dhcpctl memory leak patch provided by Bill
2936 Squier at ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
2937
2938- Missing non-optional failover peer configurations will now result in a soft
2939 error rather than a null dereference.
2940
2941 Changes since 3.0.1rc9
2942
2943- A format string was corrected to fix compiler warnings.
2944
2945- A number of spelling corrections were made in the man pages.
2946
2947- The dhclient.conf.5 man page was changed to refer to do-forward-updates
2948 rather than a configuration option that doesn't exist.
2949
2950- A FreeBSD-specific bug in the interface removal handling was fixed.
2951
2952- A Linux-specific Token Ring detection problem was fixed.
2953
2954- Hashes removed from as-yet-unknown agent options, having those options
2955 appear in reality before we know about them will no longer produce
2956 self-corrupting lease databases.
2957
2958- dhclient will use the proper port numbers now when using the -g option.
2959
2960- A order-of-operations bug with 2 match clauses in 1 class statement is
2961 fixed thanks to a patch from Andrew Matheson.
2962
2963- Compilation problems on Solaris were fixed.
2964
2965- Compilation problems when built with DEBUG or DEBUG_PACKET were repaired.
2966
2967- A fix to the dhcp ack process which makes certain group options will be
2968 included in the first DHCPOFFER message was made thanks to a patch from
2969 Ling Gou.
2970
2971- A few memory leaks were repaired thanks to patches from Bill Squier at
2972 ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
2973
2974- A fix for shared-networks that sometimes give clients options for the
2975 wrong subnets (in particular, 'option routers') was applied, thanks to
2976 Ted Lemon for the patch.
2977
2978- Omshell's handling of dotted octets as values was changed such that dots
2979 one after the other produce zero values in the integer string.
2980
2981 Changes since 3.0.1rc8
2982
2983- Fix a format string vulnerability in the server that could lead to a
2984 remote root compromise (discovered by NGSEC Research Team, www.ngsec.com).
2985
2986- Add additional support for NetBSD/sparc64.
2987
2988- Fix a bug in the command-line parsing of the client. Also, resolve
2989 a memory leak.
2990
2991- Add better support for shells other than bash in the Linux client
2992 script.
2993
2994- Various build fixes for modern versions of FreeBSD and Linux.
2995
2996- Fix a bad bounds check when printing binding state names.
2997
2998- Clarify documentation about fixed-address and multiple addresses.
2999
3000- Fix a typo in the authoritative error message.
3001
3002- Make a log entry when we can't write a billing class.
3003
3004- Use conversion targets that are the right size on all architectures.
3005
3006- Increment the hop count when relaying.
3007
3008- Log a message when lease state is changed through OMAPI.
3009
3010- Don't rerun the shared_network when evaluating the pool.
3011
3012- Fix a reversed test in the parser.
3013
3014- Change the type of rbuf_max.
3015
3016- Make FTS_LAST a manifest constant to quiet warnings.
3017
3018 Changes since 3.0.1rc7
3019
3020- Fix two compiler warnings that are generated when compiling on Solaris
3021 with gcc. These stop the build, even though they weren't actually
3022 errors, because we prefer that our builds generate no warnings.
3023
3024 Changes since 3.0.1rc6
3025
3026- Don't allow a lease that's in the EXPIRED, RELEASED or RESET state
3027 to be renewed.
3028
3029- Implement lease stealing for cases where the primary has fewer leases
3030 than the secondary, as called for by the standard.
3031
3032- Add a fudge factor to the lease expiry acceptance code, (suggested
3033 by Kevin Miller of CMU).
3034
3035- Fix a bug in permit_list_match that made it much too willing to say
3036 that two permit lists matched.
3037
3038- Unless DEBUG_DNS_UPDATES is defined, print more user-friendly (and
3039 also more compact) messages about DNS updates.
3040
3041- Fix a bug in generating wire-format domain names for the FQDN option.
3042
3043- Fix a bug where the FQDN option would not be returned if the client
3044 requested it, contrary to the standard.
3045
3046- On Darwin, use the FreeBSD DHCP client script.
3047
3048- On NetBSD/sparc, don't check for casting warnings.
3049
3050- Add a flag in the DHCP client to disable updating the client's A
3051 record when sending an FQDN option indicating that the client is
3052 going to update its A record.
3053
3054- In the client, don't attempt a DNS update until one second after
3055 configuring the new IP address, and if the update times out, keep
3056 trying until a response, positive or negative, is received from the
3057 DNS server.
3058
3059- Fix an uninitialized memory bug in the DHCP client.
3060
3061- Apply some FreeBSD-specific bug fixes suggested by Murray Stokely.
3062
3063- Fix a bug in ns_parserr(), where it was returning the wrong sort
3064 of result code in some cases (suggested by Ben Harris of the
3065 NetBSD project).
3066
3067- Fix a bug in is_identifier(), where it was checking against EOF
3068 instead of the END_OF_FILE token (also suggested by Ben Harris).
3069
3070- Fix a bug where if an option universe contained no options, the
3071 DHCP server could dump core (Walter Steiner).
3072
3073- Fix a bug in the handling of encapsulated options.
3074
3075- Fix a bug that prevented NWIP suboptions from being processed.
3076
3077- Delete the FTS_BOOTP and FTS_RESERVED states and implement them
3078 as modifier flags to the FTS_ACTIVE state, as called for in the
3079 failover protocol standard.
3080
3081- Fix bugs in the pool merging code that resulted in references and
3082 dereferences of null pointers. This bug had no impact unless the
3083 POINTER_DEBUG flag was defined.
3084
3085- In the server, added a do-forward-updates flag that can be used to
3086 disable forward updates in all cases, so that sites that want the
3087 clients to take sole responsibility for updating their A record can
3088 do so.
3089
3090- Make it possible to disable optimization of PTR record updates.
3091
3092 Changes since 3.0.1rc5
3093
3094- Include some new documentation and changes provided by Karl Auer.
3095
3096- Add a workaround for some Lexmark printers that send a double-NUL-
3097 terminated host-name option, which would break DNS updates.
3098
3099- Fix an off-by-one error in the MAC-address checking code for
3100 DHCPRELEASE that was added in 3.0.1rc5.
3101
3102- Fix a bug where client-specific information was not being discarded
3103 from the lease when it expired or was released, resulting in
3104 problems if the lease was reallocated to a different client.
3105
3106- If more than one allocation pool is specified that has the same set
3107 of constraints as another allocation pool on the same shared
3108 network, merge the two pools.
3109
3110- Don't print an error in fallback_discard, since this just causes
3111 confusion and does not appear to be helping to encourage anyone to
3112 fix this bug.
3113
3114 Changes since 3.0.1rc4
3115
3116- Fix a bug that would cause the DHCP server to spin if asked to parse
3117 a certain kind of incorrect statement.
3118
3119- Fix a related bug that would prevent an error from being reported in
3120 the same case.
3121
3122- Additional documentation.
3123
3124- Make sure that the hardware address matches the lease when
3125 processing a DHCPRELEASE message.
3126
3127 Changes since 3.0.1rc3
3128
3129- A minor bug fix in the arguments to a logging function call.
3130- Documentation update for dhcpd.conf.
3131
adbef119 3132 Changes since 3.0.1rc2
98311e4b
DH
3133
3134- Allow the primary to send a POOLREQ message. This isn't what the current
3135 failover draft says to do, so we may have to back it out if I can't get the
3136 authors to relent, but the scheme for balancing that's specified in the
3137 current draft seems needlessly hairy, so I'm floating a trial balloon.
3138 The rc1 code did not implement the method described in the draft either.
3139
adbef119 3140 Changes since 3.0.1rc1
98311e4b
DH
3141
3142- Treat NXDOMAIN and NXRRSET as success when we are trying to delete a
3143 domain or RRSET. This allows the DHCP server to forget about a name
3144 it added to the DNS once it's been removed, even if the DHCP server
3145 wasn't the one that removed it.
3146
3147- Install defaults for failover maximum outstanding updates and maximum
3148 silent time. This prevents problems that might occur if these values
3149 were not configured.
3150
3151- Don't do DDNS deletes if ddns-update-style is none.
3152
3153- Return relay agent information options in DHCPNAK. This prevents DHCPNAK
3154 messages from being dropped when the relay agent information option contains
3155 routing information.
3156
3157- Fix a problem where coming up in recover wouldn't result in an update
3158 request being sent.
3159
3160- Add some more chatty messages when we start a recovery update and when it's
3161 done.
3162
3163- Fix a possible problem where some state might have been left around
3164 after the peer lost contact and regained contact about how many updates
3165 were pending.
3166
3167- Don't nix a lease update because of a lease conflict. This test has
3168 never (as far as I know) prevented a mistake, and it appears to cause
3169 problems with failover.
3170
3171- Add support in rc history code for keeping a selective history, rather
3172 than a history of all references and dereferences. This code is only used
3173 when extensive additional debugging is enabled.
3174
adbef119 3175 Changes since 3.0
98311e4b
DH
3176
3177- Make allocators for hash tables. As a side effect, this fixes a memory
3178 smash in the subclass allocation code.
3179
3180- Fix a small bug in omshell where if you try to close an object when
3181 no object is open, it dumps core.
3182
3183- Fix an obscure coredump that could occur on shutdown.
3184
3185- Fix a bug in the recording of host declaration rubouts in the lease file.
3186
3187- Fix two potential spins in the host deletion code.
3188
3189- Fix a core dump that would happen if an application tried to update
3190 a host object attribute with a null value.
3191
3192 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 12
3193
3194- Fix a memory leak in the evaluation code.
3195
3196- Fix an obscure core dump.
3197
3198- Print a couple of new warnings when parsing the configuration file
3199 when crucial information is left out.
3200
3201- Log "no free leases" as an error.
3202
3203- Documentation updates.
3204
3205 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 11
3206
3207- Always return a subnet selection option if one is sent.
3208
3209- Fix a warning that was being printed because an automatic data
3210 structure wasn't zeroed.
3211
3212- Fix some failover state transitions that were being handled
3213 incorrectly.
3214
3215- When supersede_lease is called on a lease whose end time has already
3216 expired, but for which a state transition has not yet been done, do
3217 a state transition. This fixes the case where if the secondary
3218 allocated a lease to a client and the lease "expired" while the
3219 secondary was in partner-down, no expiry event would actually
3220 happen, so the lease would remain active until the primary was
3221 restarted.
3222
3223 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 10
3224
3225- Fix a bug that was preventing released leases from changing state
3226 in failover-enabled pools.
3227
3228- Fix a core dump in the client identifier finder code (for host
3229 declarations).
3230
3231- Finish fixing a bug where bogus data would sometimes get logged to
3232 the dhclient.leases file because it was opened as descriptor 2.
3233
3234- Fix the Linux dhclient-script according to suggestions made by
3235 several people on the dhcp-client mailing list.
3236
3237- Log successful DNS updates at LOG_INFO, not LOG_ERROR.
3238
3239- Print an error message and refuse to run if a failover peer is
3240 defined but not referenced by any pools.
3241
3242- Correct a confusing error message in failover.
3243
eaf0b302
TL
3244 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 9

3248 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8 Patchlevel 2
3249
3250- Fix a bug that prevented update-static-leases from working.
3251
3252- Document failover-state OMAPI object.
3253
3254- Fix a compilation error on SunOS 4.
3255
d758ad8c
TL
3256 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8 Patchlevel 1
3257
3258- Fix a parsing bug that broke dns updates (both interim and ad-hoc).
3259 This was introduced in rc8pl1 as an unintended result of the memory
3260 leakage fixes that were in pl1.
3261
3262- Fix a long-standing bug where the server would record that an update
3263 had been done for a client with no name, even though no update had
3264 been done, and then when the client's lease expired the deletion of
3265 that nonexistant record would time out because the name was the null
9a111ee8 3266 string.
d758ad8c
TL
3267
3268- Clean up the omshell, dhcpctl and omapi man pages a bit.
3269
d758ad8c
TL
3270 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8
3271
3272- Fix a bug that could cause the DHCP server to spin if
3273 one-lease-per-client was enabled.
3274
3275- Fix a bug that was causing core dumps on BSD/os in the presence of
3276 malformed packets.
3277
3278- In partner-down state, don't restrict lease lengths to MCLT.
3279
3280- On the failover secondary, record the MCLT received from the primary
3281 so that if we come up without a connection to the primary we don't
3282 wind up giving out zero-length leases.
3283
3284- Fix some compilation problems on BSD/os.
3285
3286- Fix a bunch of memory leaks.
3287
3288- Fix a couple of bugs in the option printer.
3289
3290- Fix an obscure error reporting bug in the dns update code, and also
3291 make the message clearer when a key algorithm isn't supported.
3292
3293- Fix a bug in the tracing code that prevented trace runs that used
3294 tcp connections from being played back.
3295
3296- Add some additional debugging capability for catching memory leaks
3297 on exit.
3298
3299- Make the client release the lease correctly on shutdown.
3300
3301- Add some configurability to the build system.
3302
3303- Install omshell manual page in man1, not man8.
3304
3305- Craig Gwydir sent in a patch that fixes a long-standing bug in the
3306 DHCP client that could cause core dumps, but that for some reason
3307 hadn't been noticed until now.
3308
3309 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 7
3310
3311- Fix a bug in failover where we weren't sending updates after a
3312 transition from communications-interrupted to normal.
3313
3314- Handle expired/released/reset -> free transition according to the
3315 protocol specification (this works - the other way not only wasn't
3316 conformant, but also didn't work).
3317
3318- Add a control object in both client and server that allows either
3319 daemon to be shut down cleanly.
3320
3321- When writing a lease, if we run out of disk space, shut down the
3322 output file and insist on writing a new one before proceeding.
3323
3324- In the server, if the OMAPI listener port is occupied, keep trying
3325 to get it, rather than simply giving up and exiting.
3326
3327- Support fetching variables from leases and also updating and adding
3328 variables to leases via OMAPI.
3329
3330- If two failover peers have wildly different clocks, refuse to start
3331 doing failover.
3332
3333- Fix a bug in the DNS update code that could cause core dumps when
3334 running on alpha processors.
3335
3336- Fixed a bug in ddns updates for static lease entries, thanks to a
3337 patch from Andrey M Linkevitch.
3338
3339- Add support for Darwin/MacOS X
3340
3341- Install omshell (including new documentation).
3342
3343- Support DNS updates in the client (this is a very obscure feature
3344 that most DHCP client users probably will not be able to use).
3345
3346- Somewhat cleaner status logging in the client.
3347
3348- Make OMAPI key naming syntax compatible with the way keys are
3349 actually named (key names are domain names).
3350
3351- Fix a bug in the lease file writer.
3352
3353- Install DHCP ISC headers in a different place than BIND 9 ISC
3354 headers, to avoid causing trouble in BIND 9 builds.
3355
3356- Don't send updates for attributes on an object when the attributes
3357 haven't changed. Support deleting attributes on remote objects.
3358
3359- Fix a number of bugs in omshell, and add the unset and refresh
3360 statements.
3361
3362- Handle disconnects in OMAPI a little bit more intelligently (so that
3363 the caller gets ECONNRESET instead of EINVAL).
3364
3365- Fix a bunch of bugs in the handling of clients that have existing
3366 leases when the try to renew their leases while failover is
3367 operating.
3368
eaf0b302
TL
3369 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 6
3370
3371- Fix a core dump that could happen when processing a DHCPREQUEST from
3372 a client that had a host declaration that contained both a
3373 fixed-address declaration and a dhcp-client-identifier option
3374 declaration, if the client identifier was longer than nine bytes.
3375
3376- Fix a memory leak that could happen in certain obscure cases when
3377 using omapi to manipulate leases.
3378
3379- Fix some bugs and omissions in omshell.
3380
eaf0b302
TL
3381 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 5
3382
3383- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that prevented objects in
3384 chains from having their reference counts decreased on dereference.
3385
3386- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that would prevent object
3387 chains from being freed upon removal of the last reference external
3388 to the chain.
3389
3390- Fix a number of other memory leaks in the OMAPI protocol subsystem.
3391
3392- Add code in the OMAPI protocol handler to trace memory leakage.
3393
3394- Clean up the memory allocation/reference history printer.
3395
98311e4b 3396- Support input of dotted quads and colon-separated hex lists as
eaf0b302

3401- Conditionalize a piece of trace code that wasn't conditional.
3402
3403 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 4
3404
3405- Fix a bug that would prevent leases from being abandoned properly on
3406 DHCPDECLINE.
3407
3408- Fix failover peer OMAPI support.
3409
3410- In failover, correctly handle expiration of leases. Previously,
3411 leases would never be reclaimed because they couldn't make the
3412 transition from EXPIRED to FREE.
3413
3414- Fix some broken failover state transitions.
3415
3416- Documentation fixes.
3417
3418- Take out an unnecessary check in DHCP relay agent information option
3419 stashing code that was preventing REBINDING clients from rebinding.
3420
3421- Prevent failover peers from allocating leases in DHCPREQUEST
3422 processing if the lease belongs to the other server.
3423
3424- Record server version in lease file introductory comment.
3425
3426- Correctly report connection errors in OMAPI and failover.
3427
3428- Make authentication signature algorithm name comparisons in OMAPI
3429 case-insensitive.
3430
3431- Fix compile problem on SunOS 4.x
3432
98311e4b 3433- If a signature algorithm is not terminated with '.', terminate it so
eaf0b302

3445 the billing correctly - the previous method could overbill as a
3446 result of duplicate leases.

3453 Herranz for figuring out the main problem.

3462
3463 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 2
3464
3465- Change the conditions under which a DHCPRELEASE is actually
3466 committed to be consistent with lease binding states rather than
98311e4b 3467 using the lease end time. This may fix some problems with the
892fe689
TL
3468 billing class code.
3469
3470- Fix a bug where lease updates would fail on Digital Unix (and maybe
3471 others) because malloc was called with a size of zero.
3472
3473- Fix a core dump that happens when the DHCP server can't create its
3474 trace file.

TL
3478- Fix the dhcp_failover_put_message to not attempt to allocate a
3479 zero-length buffer. Some versions of malloc() fail if you try to
3480 allocate a zero-length buffer, and this was causing problems on,
3481 e.g., Digital Unix.
3482
3483- Fix a case where the failover code was printing an error message
3484 when no error had occurred.
3485
3486- Fix a problem where when a server went down and back up again, the
3487 peer would not see a state transition and so would stay in the
3488 non-communicating state.
3489
3490- Be smart about going into recover_wait.
3491
3492- Fix a problem in the failover implementation where peers would fail
3493 to come into sync if interrupted in the RECOVER state. This could
3494 have been the cause of some problems people have reported recently.
3495
3496- Fix a problem with billing classes where they would not be unbilled
3497 when the client lease expired.
3498
3499- If select fails, figure out which descriptor is bad, and cut it out
3500 of the I/O loop. This prevents a potentially nasty spin. I
3501 haven't heard any report it in a while, but it came up consistently
3502 in testing.
3503
3504- Fix a bug in the relay agent where if you specified interfaces on
3505 the command line, it would fail.
3506
3507- Fix a couple of small bugs in the omapi connection object (no known
3508 user impact).
3509
3510- Add the missing 3.0 Beta 1 lease conversion script.

3513 they're executable.

3526 Compaq Alpha systems. This patchlevel is not a release candidate
3527 because of this bug. The bug should be straightforward to fix, so
3528 a new release candidate is expected shortly.

3555 checked. This may have been causing core dumps.
3556
3557- When parsing the lease file, if a lease declaration includes a
3558 billing class statement, and the lease already has a billing class,
3559 unbill the old class.
3560
3561- When processing failover transactions, where acks will be deferred,
3562 process the state transition immediately.
3563
3564- Don't try to use the new SIOCGIFCONF buffer size detection code on
3565 Linux 2.0, which doesn't provide this functionality.
3566
3567- Apply a patch suggested by Tuan Uong for a problem in dlpi.c.

3571- Fix a parse error in the client when setting up an omapi listener.
3572
3573- Document the -n and -g flags to the client.
3574
3575- Make sure there is always a stdin and stdout on startup. This
3576 prevents shell scripts from accidentally writing error messages into
3577 configuration files that happen to be opened as stderr.
3578
3579- If an interface is removed, the client will now notice that it is
3580 gone rather than spinning. This has only been tested on NetBSD.
3581
3582- The client will attempt to get an address even if it can't create a
3583 lease file.

3630- Implement omshell, which can be used to do arbitrary things to the
3631 server (in theory). (Damien Neil)
3632
3633- Fix a case where if a client had two different leases the server could
3634 actually dereference the second one when it hadn't been referenced,
3635 leading to memory corruption and a core dump. (James Brister)
3636
3637- Fix a case where a client could request the address of another client's
3638 lease, but find_lease wouldn't detect that the other client had it, and
3639 would attempt to allocate it to the client, resulting in a lease conflict
3640 message.
3641
3642- Fix a case where a client with more than one client identifier could be
3643 given a lease where the hardware address was correct but the client
3644 identifier was not, resulting in a lease conflict message.
3645
98311e4b 3646- Fix a problem where the server could write out a colon-separated
3350f5b7
TL
3647 hex list as a value for a variable, which would then not parse.
3648 The fix is to always write strings as quoted strings, with any
3649 non-printable characters quoted as octal escape sequences. So
3650 a file written the old way still won't work, but new files written
3651 this way will work.

3653- Fix documentation for sending non-standard options.
3654
3655- Use unparsable names for unknown options. WARNING: this will
3656 break any configuration files that use the option-nnn convention.
3657 If you want to continue to use this convention for some options,
3658 please be sure to write a definition, like this:
3659
3660 option option-nnn code nnn = string;
3661
3662 You can use a descriptive name instead of option-nnn if you like.
3663
3664- Fix a problem where we would see a DHCPDISCOVER/DHCPOFFER/
3665 DHCPREQUEST/DHCPACK/DHCPREQUEST/DHCPNAK sequence. This was the
3666 result of a deceptively silly bug in supersede_lease.
3667

TL
3681- Add support for transaction tracing. This allows the state of the
3682 DHCP server on startup, and all the subsequent transactions, to be
3683 recorded in a file which can then be played back to reproduce the
3684 behaviour of the DHCP server. This can be used to quickly
3685 reproduce bugs that cause core dumps or corruption, and also for
3686 tracking down memory leaks.
3687
3688- Incorporate some bug fixes provided by Joost Mulders for the DLPI
3689 package which should clear up problems people have been seeing on
3690 Solaris.
3691
3692- Fix bugs in the handling of options stored as linked lists (agent
3693 options, fqdn options and nwip options) that could cause memory
3694 corruption and core dumps.
3695
3696- Fix a bug in DHCPREQUEST handling that resulted in DHCPNAK messages
3697 not being send in some cases when they were needed.

3702 and implemented by Damien Neil.

3741
3742- Finish fixing a long-standing bug in the agent options code. This
3743 was causing core dumps and failing to operate correctly - in
3744 particular, agent option stashing wasn't working. Agent option
3745 stashing should now be working, meaning that agent options can be
3746 used in class statements to control address allocation.
3747
3748- Fix up documentation.

3751 significantly in a high-demand situation.

3754
3755- Fix a compile error on some older operating systems.

3757- Add the ability in the client to execute certain statements before
3758 transmitting packets to the server. Handy for debugging; not much
3759 practical use otherwise.

3770- Work around the Win98 DHCP client, which NUL-terminates the FQDN
3771 option.

3773- Work around Win98 and Win2k clients that will claim they want to do
3774 the update even when they don't have any way to do it.
3775
3776- Fix some log messages that can be printed when failover is operating
3777 that were not printing enough information.
3778
3779- It was possible for a DHCPDISCOVER to get an allocation even when
3780 the state machine said the server shouldn't be responding.
3781
3782- Don't load balance DHCPREQUESTs from clients in RENEWING and
3783 REBINDING, since in RENEWING, if we heard it, it's for us, and in
3784 REBINDING, the client wouldn't have got to REBINDING if its primary
3785 were answering.

3799 representation from working correctly.
3800
3801- Thanks to Chris Cheney and Michael Sanders, we have a fix for the
3802 hang that they both spotted in the DHCP server - when
3803 one-lease-per-client was set, the code to release the "other" lease
3804 could spin.
3805
3806- Fix a problem with alignment of the input buffer in bpf in cases
3807 where two packets arrive in the same bpf read.
3808
3809- Fix a problem where the relay agent would crash if you specified an
3810 interface name on the command line.
3811
3812- Add the ability to conditionalize client behaviour based on the
3813 client state.
3814
3815- Add support for the FQDN option, and added support for a new way of
3816 doing ddns updates (ddns update style interim) that allows more than
3817 one DHCP server to update the DNS for the same network(s). This
3818 was implemented by Damien Neil with some additional functionality
3819 added by Ted Lemon.
3820
3821- Damien added a "log" statement, so that the configuration file can
3822 be made to log debugging information and other information.
3823
3824- Fixed a bug that caused option buffers not to be terminated with an
3825 end option.
3826
3827- Fixed a long-standing bug in the support for option spaces where the
3828 options are stored as an ordered list rather than in a hash table,
3829 which could theoretically result in memory pool corruption.
3830
3831- Prevent hardware declarations with no actual hardware address from
3832 being written as something unparsable, and behave correctly in the
3833 face of a null hardware address on input.
3834
3835- Allow key names to be FQDNs, and qualify the algorithm name if it is
3836 specified unqualified.
3837
3838- Modify the DDNS update code so that it never prints the "resolver
3839 failed" message, but instead says *why* the resolver failed.
3840
3841- Officially support the subnet selection option, which now has an
3842 RFC.
3843

3885 silently dropped.

3904- Fix a possible DoS attack where a client could cause the checksummer
3905 to dump core. This was a read, not a write, so it shouldn't be
3906 possible to exploit it any further than that.
3907
3908- Implement client- and server-side support for using the Client FQDN
3909 option.
3910
3911- Support for other option spaces in the client has been added. This
3912 means that it is now possible to define a vendor option space on the
3913 client, request options in that space from the server (which must
3914 define the same option space), and then use those options in the
3915 client. This also allows NWIP and Client FQDN options to be used
3916 meaningfully.
3917
3918- Add object initializer support. This means that objects can now be
3919 initialized to something other than all-zeros when allocated, which
3920 makes, e.g., the interface object support code a little more robust.
3921
3922- Fix an off-by-one bug in the host stuffer. This was causing host
3923 deletes not the work, and may also have been causing OMAPI
3924 connections to get dropped. Thanks to James Brister for tracking
3925 this one down!

3975- Incorporated Peter Marschall's proposed change to array/record
3976 parsing, which allows things like the slp-agent option to be encoded

3978 do this, and for doing such a careful job of it (e.g., updating the
3979 comments)!
