d618ba48 41 Changes since 4.3.0 (new features)
1e08558f 42
0ee00c5b
SR
43- Insert the raw data from a fully encapsualted option into the option cache.
44 This allows "exists" to check for the option if any sub options exist. It
45 also adds the raw data to the environment variables supplied to the client
46 script.
47 [ISC-Bugs #39863]
48
a53c9bf2
FD
49- Pass configure arguments which begin with an upper case letter, e.g.
50 CFLAGS, to the embedded bind configure, so it is no longer required
51 to use environment variables to get the same effect.
52 [ISC-Bugs #35143]
53
81f844d2
FD
54- Added --enable-kqueue, --enable-epoll, --enable-devpoll and a more
55 general --with-bind-extra-config to pass extra options to the
56 embedded bind configure. Note we had mixed experiences with this
54ee18cf 57 so it is at the user risk, i.e., they are NOT SUPPORTED yet.
f285576d 58 [ISC-Bugs #20890]
81f844d2 59
53c7a535
FD
60- Changed the way the embedded bind Makefile is updated by configure.
61 The only user visible side effect is that --with-libbind now requires
62 either "no" or an (absolute) path, i.e. "yes" is no longer valid.
63 [ISC-Bugs #43227]
64
d163c8f7
TM
65- Added the support for git repositories in the util/bind.sh script.
66 When you build ISC DHCP from a git repo, i.e., without a "bind"
67 directory populated as in the release distribution file, you may now
4b914743
FD
68 create the bind directory, change to it and clone the private
69 (repo.isc.org/proj/git/prod/bind9.git) or the public
290a7613 70 (https://source.isc.org/git/bind9.git) git repository into
d163c8f7 71 bind/bind9 and then invoke the util/bind.sh script as usual.
c4ea4af0
FD
72 Note this option is incompatible with "make dist" (and make "distcheck")
73 because no bind/bind.tar.gz nor bind/version.tmp files are available.
4b914743
FD
74 [ISC-Bugs #43236]
75
e94e7f23
FD
76- Use the embedded bind libraries where they are built (vs where they
77 are installed).
78 [ISC-Bugs #39319]
79
a1372bbe
FD
80- Use last version (9.11) of plain embedded bind libraries in place of
81 older (9.9) version of export bind libraries.
82 [ISC-Bugs #43215]
83
5a2e8c37 84- Using "make distcheck" now works with external bind libraries (aka
c4ea4af0
FD
85 configure --with-libbind).
86 [ISC-Bugs #43285]
87
3210786b
TM
88- The server now allows the client identifier (option 61) to own leases
89 in more than one subnet concurrently. Prior to this the server would
90 incorrectly release an existing lease in one subnet prior to assigning
91 a lease in another subnet. Note that the prior behavior can be still
92 be achieved by enabling one-lease-per-client. Thanks to both David Zych at
93 the University of Illinois and Norm Proffitt of Infoblox for reporting
94 the issue; and Norm for suggesting a solution.
95 [ISC-Bugs #41358]
96
f9741514
FD
97- Added --enable-bind-install to install embedded bind includes and
98 libraries. Default is to not install them (it was the previous
99 behavior). If you'd like to change the includedir and/or libdir
5a67b030
FD
100 installation directories to something different than for ISC DHCP
101 you must pass them using the --with-bind-extra-config configuration
102 arguments.
f9741514
FD
103 [ISC-Bugs #39318]
104
007ba82a
FD
105- Added support of dynamic shared libraries with libtool. A new
106 --enable-libtool configuration parameter is available but
107 should not be used directly: *please* read the build configuration
108 section in the README file for the recommended procedure.
109 [ISC-Bugs #29402]
110
417b7b4a
TM
111- IPv6 operation now supports an EUI-64 based address allocation which will
112 calculate addresses for clients with EUI-64 DUIDs based on those DUIDs when
113 enabled by setting use-eui-64 true. The parameter may defined down to the
114 pool scope. Note this feature must be compiled in by defining EUI_64 in
115 includes/site.h. This flag is undefined by default.
116 [ISC-Bugs #43927]
117
c8f0b32a
MS
118- Added new compile time option --with-srv-conf-file which specifies a
119 default location of the server configuration file.
120 [ISC-Bugs #44765]
121
a68ec967
MS
122- Added --dad-wait-time parameter to dhclient. It specifies the maximum time,
123 in seconds, that the client process should wait for the duplicate address
124 detection to complete before initiating DHCP requests. This value is
125 propagated to the dhclient script and the script is responsible for waiting
126 the specified amount of time or until DAD has completed. If the script does
127 not support it, specifying this parameter has no effect. The default value
128 is 0 which specifies that the script should not wait for DAD. With this
129 change the following scripts have been modified to support the new parameter:
130 freebsd, linux, macos, netbsd, openbsd.
131 [ISC-Bugs #36169]
132
251bb4b9 133- Modified DDNS support initialization such that DNS related ports will only be
ca22af89
TM
134 opened by the server (dhcpd) at startup if ddns-update-style is not "none";
135 by dhclient only if and when the it first attempts an update; and never by
136 dhcrelay. Prior to this all three always did the initialization at startup
137 which causes them to always open on and listen for traffic on two random
ff343a30 138 ports. Thanks to Rodney Beede for reporting the issue.
ca22af89
TM
139 [ISC-Bugs #45290]
140 [ISC-Bugs #33377]
141
8c785e79
TM
142- Added error logging to two memory allocation failure checks. Thanks to Bill
143 Parker (wp02855 at gmail dot com) for reporting the issue.
144 [ISC-Bugs #41185]
145
251bb4b9 146- Corrected a dhclient -6 issue that caused the client to crash with an
147 "Impossible condition" error after de-preferencing its only IA binding.
148 The crash occurred when server configuration changes rendered the existing
01bfe9c5
TM
149 binding out-of-range and no other leases were available to offer. Thanks
150 to Pierre Clerissi for bringing this issue to our attention.
251bb4b9 151 [ISC-Bugs #44373]
152
5c03ed37 153- By defining CALL_SCRIPT_ON_ONETRY_FAIL in includes/site.h, dhclient will
154 now call the script with reason set to FAIL when run with -1 (one try) and
155 there are no server responses. This applies to IPv4 mode only. Thanks for a
156 patch by Martin Pitt which got to us via Andrew Pollock.
a489cc48
TM
157 [ISC-bugs #18183]
158
6573afff 159- Linux script updated. The script is now based on Debian version. It uses
fbe81d8e
TM
160 ip tool from iproute2 package and ifconfig is no longer used. This also
161 addresses an issue of calling arping with inappropriate parameter.
6573afff 162 [ISC-bugs #19430]
fbe81d8e 163 [ISC-bugs #18111]
6573afff 164
30afd7db 165- The directory minires has been removed from the source tree. It has
c1beb003 166 long been obsolete for branches other than v4_1_esv. Additionally,
30afd7db
TM
167 includes/minires.h was renamed includes/ns_name.h.
168 [ISC-bugs #45471]
169
b3e6fd51
TM
170- The directory includes/isc-dhcp and it's only occupant, dst.h, have
171 been removed from the source tree. They are obsolete for branches
172 other than v4_1_esv.
173 [ISC-bugs #45541]
174
7512d88b
TM
175- Replaced ISC licensing with Mozilla Public License, MPL 2.0 licensing
176 throughout. Please see https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/MPL/2.0/ to read
177 the MPL 2.0 license terms.
178 [ISC-Bugs #45541]
179
3e985dbf
TM
180- Load balancing for failover peers can now be disabled by setting
181 "load balance max secs" to 0. Doing so for both peers means both
182 servers will respond to all DHCPDISCOVERs or DHCPREQUESTs as soon as
183 they are received.
184 [ISC-Bugs #39669]
185
c0e9661e
TM
186- Added a new dhclient command line parameter, --prefix-len-hint <length>.
187 When used in conjunction with -P, it directs dhclient to use the given
8e219746
TM
188 length as the prefix length hint when requesting prefixes. Thanks to
189 H. Peter Anvin for suggesting this change.
3e88222f
TM
190 [ISC-Bugs #43792]
191 [ISC-Bugs #35112]
192 [ISC-Bugs #32228]
193 [ISC-Bugs #29470]
194
195- dhclient will now wait for 10 seconds after declining an IPv4 address
196 before issuing a discover. This is in keeping with RFC 2131, section 3.1.5.
197 Prior to this dhclient did not wait at all. The amount of time dhclient
198 waits can be specified via a new command line parameter:
199 --decline-wait-time <seconds>. A value of zero equates to no wait at all.
ecf9f77b 200 Thanks to Pavel Kankovsky for bringing this matter to our attention.
3e88222f 201 [ISC-Bugs #45457]
c0e9661e 202
83f1dd95
TM
203- Corrected dhclient command line parsing for --dad-wait-time that causes
204 even valid values to fail as invalid on some environments.
205 [ISC-Bugs #46535]
206
35e86889
TM
207- dhclient will now include the lease address when logging DHCPOFFERs,
208 DHCPREQUESTs, DHCPACKs, DHCPRELEASEs, and DHCPDECLINEs. Additionally,
209 DHCPOFFERs will be logged before their corresponding DHCPREQUESTs are
210 sent and logged.
211 [ISC-Bugs #2729]
212
d6057334
TM
213- When given the -T command line argument, in addition to reading the
214 current lease file, the server will write the leases to a temporary
215 lease file. This can help detect issues in server configuration that
216 only surface when leases are written to the file. The current lease
217 file will not be modified and the temporary lease file is removed upon
218 completion of the test.
219 [ISC-Bugs #22267]
220
0f69ff73
TM
221- dhclient will now generate a DHCPv6 DECLINE message containing all IA_NA
222 addresses which for which the client script indicates a DAD failure. After
223 receiving the DECLINE reply, dhclient will restart the solicit process.
224 Note, the client script must exit with a value of 3 to signify that the
225 address failed DAD. Thanks to Jiri Popelka of Red Hat for submitting the
226 patch that was the foundation for this change.
227 [ISC-Bugs #21297]
f0f3555e 228 [ISC-Bugs #36966]
0f69ff73 229
30593241
TM
230- Replaced compilation option, enable-secs-byteorder, with a run-time, server
231 configuration parameter, check-secs-byte-order. When enabled, the
232 server will check for clients that do the byte ordering on the secs field
233 incorrectly. This field should be in network byte order but some clients
234 get it wrong. When this parameter is enabled the server will examine the
235 secs field and if it looks wrong (high byte non zero and low byte zero) swap
236 the bytes. The default is disabled. This parameter is only useful when
237 doing load balancing within failover.
238 [ISC-Bugs #45364]

300 In addition to checking for dhcpc check for bootpc in the services list.
301 [ISC-Bugs #18933]
302 Correct the client code to only try to get a lease once when the
303 given the "-1" argument.
304 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the bug report and fix.
305 [ISC-Bugs #26735]
306 When asked for the version don't send the output to syslog.
307 [ISC-Bugs #29772]
308 Add the next server information to the environment variables for
309 use by the client script. In order to avoid changing the client
310 lease file the next server information isn't written to it.
311 Thanks to Tomas Hozza at Red Hat for the suggestion and a prototype fix.
312 [ISC-Bugs #33098]
21f3982a 313
d618ba48
SR
314- Several updates to the dhcp server code.
315 When not in quiet mode print out the files being used.
316 [ISC-Bugs #17551]
317 As accessing some pid files may require privileges move the dropping
318 of permission bits due to the paranoia patch to be after the pid code.
319 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the bug report and fix.
320 [ISC-Bugs #25806]
321 When processing a "--version" request don't output the version information
322 to syslog.
33dca28a 323
d618ba48
SR
324- Add the "enable-log-pid" build option to the configure script. When enabled
325 this causes the client, server and relay programs to include the PID
326 number in syslog messages.
327 Thanks to Marius Tomaschewski for the suggestion and proto-patch.
328 [ISC-Bugs #29713]
33dca28a 329
d618ba48
SR
330- Add a #define to specify the prefix length used when a client attempts
331 to configure an address. This can be modified by editing includes/site.h.
332 By default it is set to 64. While 128 might be a better choice it would
333 also be a change for currently running systems, so we have left it at 64.
334 [ISC-Bugs #DHCP-2]
7da1ac2b 335
d618ba48
SR
336- Add a run time option to the client "-df" to allow the administrator to
337 point to a second lease file the client can search for a DUID. This can
338 be used to allow a v4 and a v6 instance of the client to share a DUID.
339 The second file will only be searched if there isn't a DUID in the main
340 lease file and the DUID will be written out to the main lease file.
341 [ISC-Bugs #34886]
e82906fc 342
d618ba48
SR
343- Have the client fsync the lease file to avoid lease corruption if the
344 client hibernates or otherwise shuts down.

353 [ISC-Bugs #35989]
88c3ff5d 354
d618ba48
SR
355- Add threshold logging functionality. Two new options,
356 log-threshold-low and log-threshold-high, indicate to the
357 server if and when it should log an error message as addresses
358 in a pool are used.
359 [ISC-Bugs #34487]

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

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

580 address per RFC 3315 Section 20. Prior to this if the -u argument preceded
581 the -l argument on the command line or if the same interface was specified
582 for both; the logic to set the hop limit count for the upper interface was
583 skipped. This caused the hop count limit to be set to the default value
584 (typically 1) in the outbound upstream packets.

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

605- The server will now reject unicast Request, Renew, Decline, and Release
606 messages from a client unless the server would have sent that client the
607 dhcp6.unicast option. This behavior is in compliance with paragraph 1 in
608 each of the sections 18.2,1, 18.2.3, 18.2.6, and 18.2.7 of RFC 3315. Prior
609 to this, the server would simply accept the messages. Now, in order for
610 the server to accept such a message, the server configuration must include
611 the dhcp6.unicast option either globally or within the shared network to
612 which the requested lease belongs. In other words, the server will map
613 the first IA_XX address found within the client message to a shared-network
614 and look for the presence of the unicast option there and then globally.

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

814- Added dhcpv6 and delayed-ack to settings listed in the "Features:"
815 section of the configure script output. Additionally, all of the
816 features reported on will now always show either a "yes" or "no"
817 value. Prior to this features left to their default setting would
818 not show a value.

f3a44c10 820
d618ba48
SR
821- Added a parameter, authoring-byte-order, to the lease file. This value
822 is automatically added to the top of new lease files by the server and
823 indicates the internal byte order (big endian or little endian) of the
824 server. This permits lease files generated on a server with one form of
825 byte order to be used on a server with the opposite form. Our thanks to
826 Timothe Litt for calling this to our attention and for the suggestions
827 he provided.

883- A failover primary server will now accept a binding status update from the
884 secondary which transitions a lease from ACTIVE to ABANDONED. This accounts
885 for instances in which a client declines a lease and only the secondary
886 server receives it. Prior to this the primary server would reject such an
887 update as an "invalid state transition".

909 which include the "hardware" statement, if the relay connected to the
910 client supplies the client's hardware address via client-linklayer-address
911 option as per RFC 6939.

926- The server will now correctly treat a lease as reserved when the client
927 requests an infinite lease time (i.e. OxFFFFFFFF) and "infinite-is-reserved"
928 is enabled. Prior to this the server would halt. In addition, corrections
929 were made to the server to allow a lease's flags field to be set via omapi.
930 Prior to this, the server, depending on the host architecture, would
931 incorrectly parse the new flags value from the omapi message.

954- Add support for RFC 7341 DHCPv4 over DHCPv6 with a new configuration
955 option "--enable-dhcpv4o6". Note this feature requires DHCPv6 support
956 and is not compatible with delayed-ack. Both client and server use 2
957 processes which communicate over UDP on a pair of sockets. The new
958 "-4o6 <port>" command line argument enables DHCPv4 over DHCPv6 support
959 and specifies the consecutive ports to use for inter-process communication.

1207 states the option cannot be empty, some clients are apparently capable of
1208 sending it. Prior to this the server was attempting to use it and store it
1209 in the lease file causing issues with DDNS and so forth.

TM
1212- Replaced iasubopt::heap_index with separate values for active and inactive
1213 heaps: iasubopt::active_index and iasubopt::inactive_index. This was done
1214 to accomodate a change in behavior in BIND9 isc_heap_delete().

6980ae03 1217 Changes since 4.2.0 (new features)
51b8a8a0
SR
1218
1219- If a client renews before 'dhcp-cache-threshold' percent of its lease
1220 has elapsed (default 25%), the server will reuse the allocated lease
1221 (provide a lease within the currently allocated lease-time) rather
1222 than extend or renew the lease. This absolves the server of needing
1223 to perform an fsync() operation on the lease database before reply,
1224 which improves performance. [ISC-Bugs #22228]
80778e94 1225 Updated this patch to support asynchronous DDNS. If the server is
adb95d23 1226 attempting to do DDNS on a lease it should be updated and written to
4809ef5c 1227 disk even if that wouldn't be necessary due to the thresholding.
8cd88e20 1228 [ISC-Bugs #26311]
51b8a8a0 1229

SR
1230- The 'no available billing' log line now also logs the name of the last
1231 matching billing class tried before failing to provide a billing.
1232 [ISC-Bugs #21759]
1233
32e651c4
SR
1234- A problem with missing get_hw_addr function when --enable-use-sockets
1235 was used is now solved on GNU/Linux, BSD and GNU/Hurd systems. Note
1236 that use-sockets feature was not tested on those systems. Client and
1237 server code no longer use MAX_PATH constant that is not defined on
3cb6f9bb 1238 GNU/Hurd systems. [ISC-Bugs #25979]
32e651c4 1239
67418698
SR
1240- Add a perl script in the contrib directory, dhcp-lease-list.pl, which
1241 can parse v4 lease files and output the lease information in a more
1242 human friendly manner. This was written by Christian Hammers with
1243 some updates by vom and ISC. This is contributed code and is not
1244 supported by ISC; however it may be useful to some users.
1245 [ISC-Bugs #20680]
1246
a7341359 1247- Add support in v6 for on-commit, on-expire and on-release.

d7d9c0c7
SR
1253- Update the DDNS code to current standards and allow for sharing
1254 of DDNS entries between v4 and v6 clients. The new code is used
1255 if the ddns-update-style is set to "standard", the older code is
1256 still available if ddns-update-style is set to "interim". The
1257 oldest DDNS code "ad-hoc" has been removed. Thanks to Thomas Pegeot
1258 who submitted a patch for this issue. This patch is based on
1259 that work with some modifications.
64fb661c 1260 [ISC-Bugs #21139]
1534fff7 1261
cde11a4c
SR
1262- Add a configuration option to the server to suppress using fsync().
1263 Enabling this option will mean that fsync() is never called. This
1264 may provide better performance but there is also a risk that a lease
1265 will not be properly written to the disk after it has been issued
1266 to a client and before the server stops. Using this option is
1267 not recommended.
64fb661c 1268 [ISC-Bugs #34810]
cde11a4c 1269
f88446f1
SR
1270- Add some logging statements to indicate when the server is ready
1271 to serve. One statement is emitted after the server has finished
1272 reading its files and is about to enter the dispatch loop.
1273 This is "Server starting service.".
1274 The second is emitted when a server determines that both it and
1275 its failover peer are in the normal state.
1276 This is "failover peer <name>: Both servers normal."

SR
1279- Add support for accessing options from v6 relays. The v6relay
1280 statement allows the administrator to choose which relay to
1281 use when searching for an option, see the dhcp-options man page
6b9c9f87
SR
1282 for a description. The host-identifier option has also been
1283 updated to support the use of relay options, see the dhcpd.conf

e54ff84f 1287- When doing DDNS if there isn't an appropriate zone statement attempt
80778e94 1288 to find a reasonable nameserver via a DNS resolver. This restores
e54ff84f
SR
1289 some functionality that was lost in the transition to asynchronous
1290 DDNS. Due to the lack of security and increase in fragility of the
1291 system when using this feature we strongly recommend the use of
1292 appropriate zone statements rather than using this functionality.
1293 [ISC-Bugs #30461]
1294
61ef216b
SR
1295- Add support for specifying the address from which to send
1296 DDNS updates on the DHCP server. There are two new options
1297 "ddns-local-address4" and "ddns-local-address6" that each take
1298 one instance of their respective address types.
1299 [ISC-Bugs #34779]
4d079f0e 1300
38ee81bd
SR
1301- Add ignore-client-uids option in the server. This option causes
1302 the server to not record a client's uid in its lease. This
1303 violates the specification but may also be useful when a client
1304 can dual boot using different client ids but the same mac address.

01a44a77 1333- Cleaned up some compiler warnings
7dc4e69c 1334
01a44a77
SR
1335- An optimization described in the failover protocol draft is now included,
1336 which permits a DHCP server operating in communications-interrupted state
1337 to 'rewind' a lease to the state most recently transmitted to its peer,
1338 greatly increasing a server's endurance in communications-interrupted.
1339 This is supported using a new 'rewind state' record on the dhcpd.leases
1340 entry for each lease.
c5bc8b1a 1341
01a44a77 1342- Fix the trace code which was broken by the changes to the DDNS code.
d0a10f6a 1343
01a44a77
SR
1344- Update the fsync code to work with the changes to the DDNS code. It now
1345 uses a timer instead of noticing if there are no more packets to process.
dc9d7b08 1346
01a44a77
SR
1347- When constructing the DNS name structure from a text string append
1348 the root to relative names. This satisfies a requirement in the DNS
1349 library that names be absolute instead of relative and prevents DHCP
1350 from crashing. [ISC-Bugs #21054]
a24b9f23 1351
01a44a77
SR
1352- "The LDAP Patch" that has been circulating for some time, written by
1353 Brian Masney and S.Kalyanasundraram and maintained for application to
1354 the DHCP-4 sources by David Cantrell has been included. Please be
1355 advised that these sources were contributed, and do not yet meet the
1356 high standards we place on production sources we include by default.
1357 As a result, the LDAP features are only included by using a compile-time
1358 option which defaults off, and if you enable it you do so under your
1359 own recognizance. We will be improving this software over time.

1365! Accept a client id of length 0 while hashing. Previously the server would
1366 exit if it attempted to hash a zero length client id, providing attackers
1367 with a simple denial of service attack. [ISC-Bugs #21253]

1372- Modify the exception handling for initial context creation. Previously
1373 we would try and clean up before exiting. This could present problems
1374 when the cleanup required part of the context that wasn't available. It
1375 also didn't do much as we exited afterwards anyway. Now we simply log
1376 the error and exit. [ISC-Bugs #21093]
ad4001ce 1377
01a44a77
SR
1378- A bug was fixed that could cause the DHCPv6 server to advertise/assign a
1379 previously allocated (active) lease to a client that has changed subnets,
1380 despite being on different shared networks. Dynamic prefixes specifically
1381 allocated in shared networks also now are not offered if the client has
1382 moved. [ISC-Bugs #21152]

SR
1389- Modify the determination of the default TTL to use for DDNS updates.
1390 The user may still configure the ttl via ddns-ttl. The default for
1391 both v4 and v6 is now 1/2 the (preferred) lease time with a limit. The
1392 previous defaults (1/2 lease time without a limit for v4 and a default
1393 value for v6) may be used by defining USE_OLD_DDNS_TTL in site.h

1596- 'dhclient' no longer waits a random interval after first starting up to
1597 begin in the INIT state. This conforms to RFC 2131, but elects not to
9a111ee8 1598 implement a 'SHOULD' direction in section 4.1. The goal of this change
73c83820 1599 is to start up faster. [ISC-Bugs #19660]
9a111ee8

1600
1601- Added 'initial-delay' parameter that specifies maximum amount of time
1602 before client goes to the INIT state. The default value is 0. In previous
1603 versions of the code client could wait up to 5 seconds. The old behavior
5d082abd 1604 may be restored by using 'initial-delay 5;' in the client config file.

1606
1607- ICMP ping-check should now sit closer to precisely the number of seconds
1608 configured (or default 1), due to making use of the new microsecond
1609 scale timer internally to dhcpd. This corrects a bug where the server
1610 may immediately timeout an ICMP ping-check if it was made late in the
73c83820 1611 current second. [ISC-Bugs #19660]
5d082abd
TM
1612
1613- The DHCP client will schedule renewal and rebinding events in
1614 microseconds if the DHCP server provided a lease-time that would result
1615 in sub-1-second timers. This corrects a bug where a 2-second or lower
1616 lease-time would cause the DHCP client to enter an infinite loop by
73c83820 1617 scheduling renewal at zero seconds. [ISC-Bugs #19660]
5d082abd
TM
1618
1619- Client lease records are recorded at most once every 15 seconds. This

73c83820 1621 lease times. [ISC-Bugs #19660]
5d082abd

1622
1623- To defend against RFC 2131 non-compliant DHCP servers which fail to
1624 advertise a lease-time (either mangled, or zero in value) the DHCP
1625 client now adds the server to the reject list ACL and returns to INIT
1626 state to hopefully find an RFC 2131 compliant server (or retry in INIT
73c83820 1627 forever). [ISC-Bugs #19660]

1640 configuration parameter, in the case of an agent not covered by a configured
1641 subnet the root configuration area is examined. Server now also returns

1861! Previously the server code was relaxed to allow packets with zero
1862 length client ids to be processed. Under some situations use of
1863 zero length client ids can cause the server to go into an infinite
1864 loop. As such ids are not valid according to RFC 2132 section 9.14
1865 the server no longer accepts them. Client ids with a length of 1
1866 are also invalid but the server still accepts them in order to
1867 minimize disruption. The restriction will likely be tightened in
1868 the future to disallow ids with a length of 1.

1946 to a failover peer matches the server id of the server. This support
1947 is enabled by editing the file includes/site.h and uncommenting the

2031- Failover port configuration can now be left to defaults (port 647) as
2032 described in the -12 revision of the Failover draft (and assigned by
4b97eaff 2033 IANA). Thanks in part to a patch from David Cantrell at Red Hat.

DH
2044- A new failover configuration parameter has been introduced for those
2045 environments where DHCP servers can be reasonably guaranteed to be
2046 "down" when the failover TCP socket is severed, "auto-partner-down".
2047 This parameter is not generally safe, and by default is disabled, so
2048 please carefully review the documentation of this parameter in the
2049 dhcpd.conf(5) manpage before determining to use it yourself.
2050
33ea4622
DH
2051- Added a configuration function, 'gethostname()', which calls the system
2052 function of the same name and presents the results as a data expression.
2053 This function can be used to incorporate the system level hostname of
2054 the system the DHCP software is operating on in responses or queries (such
2055 as including a failover partner's hostname in a dhcp message or binding
2056 scope, or having a DHCP client send any system hostname in the host-name or
2057 FQDN options by default).
2058
5a671e87
DH
2059- The dhcp-renewal-time and dhcp-rebinding-time options may now be configured
2060 for DHCPv4 operation and used independently of the dhcp-lease-time
2061 calculations. Invalid renew and rebinding times (e.g., greater than the
2062 determined lease time) are omitted.
2063
adb95d23 2064- Processing the DHCP to DNS server transactions in an asynchronous fashion,
45adf35c 2065 the DHCP server or client can now continue with its processing while
98bf1607 2066 awaiting replies from the DNS server.

2077
47e6eb82
DH
2078- The notorious 'option <unknown> ... larger than buffer' log line,
2079 which is seen in some malformed DHCP client packets, was modified.
2080 It now logs the universe name, and does not log the length values
2081 (which are bogus corruption read from the packet anyway). It also
2082 carries a hopefully more useful explanation.

159c89d7

2084- Suppress spurious warnings from configure about --datarootdir

2087 and Request packets, if the dynamic range covering any requested addresses
2088 had been deleted from configuration.

cd51403d
SR
2090- Update the code to deal with GCC 4.3. This included two sets of changes.
2091 The first is to the configuration files to include the use of

2101- Fix a build error in dhcrelay, using older versions of gcc with
2102 dhcpv6 disabled.

2108 result in an erroneous error log message ('garbage in format string').
2109
f9453d21
DH
2110- A bug in DLPI packet transmission (Solaris, HP/UX) that caused the server
2111 to stop receiving packets is fixed. The same fix also means that the MAC
2112 address will no longer appear 'bogus' on DLPI-based systems.
2113
2114- A bug in select handling was discovered where the results of one select()
2115 call were discarded, causing the server to process the next select() call
2116 and use more system calls than required. This has been repaired - the
2117 sockets will be handled after the first return from select(), resulting in
2118 fewer system calls.
2119
a3dcc0b1
DH
2120- The update-conflict-detection feature would leave an FQDN updated without
2121 a DHCID (still currently implemented as a TXT RR). This would cause later
2122 expiration or release events to fail to remove the domain name. The feature
2123 now also inserts the client's up to date DHCID record, so records may safely
2124 be removed at expiration or release time. Thanks to a patch submitted by
2125 Christof Chen.
2126
95fd7038
DH
2127- Memory leak in the load_balance_mine() function is fixed. This would
2128 leak ~20-30 octets per DHCPDISCOVER packet while failover was in use
2129 and in normal state.
2130

2132 DEBUG #defines in includes/site.h.

PS
2134- Fixed Linux client script 'unary operator expected' errors with DHCPv6.

2137 to be double-quoted. Also allow server-provided hostname to
2138 override hostnames 'localhost' and '(none)'.

2140- Fixed failover reconnection retry code to continue to retry to reconnect
2141 rather than restarting the listener.

DH
2143- Compilation on Solaris with USE_SOCKETS defined in includes/site.h has
2144 been repaired. Other USE_ overrides should work better.
2145
2146- A check for the local flavor of IFNAMSIZ had a broken 'else' condition,
2147 that probably still resulted in the correct behaviour (but wouldn't use
2148 a larger defined value provided by the host OS).
2149

DH
2150- Fixed a bug where an OMAPI socket disconnection message would not result
2151 in scheduling a failover reconnection, if the link had not negotiated a
2152 failover connect yet (e.g.: connection refused, asynch socket connect()
2153 timeouts).

2158! A stack overflow vulnerability was fixed in dhclient that could allow
2159 remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands as root on the system,
2160 or simply terminate the client, by providing an over-long subnet-mask
1b12d999 2161 option. CERT VU#410676 - CVE-2009-0692

2167 supported. Note that, similarly to 3.0.x, for by-code lookups only the
2168 last option definition is used.

PS
2170- Fixed a bug where a time difference of greater than 60 seconds between a

b8d45c67
DH
2177- Secondary servers in a failover pair will now perform ddns removals if
2178 they had performed ddns updates on a lease that is expiring, or was
2179 released through the primary. As part of the same fix, stale binding scopes
2180 will now be removed if a change in identity of a lease's active client is
2181 detected, rather than simply if a lease is noticed to have expired (which it
2182 may have expired without a failover server noticing in some situations).
2183
583c1c16
DH
2184- A patch supplied by David Cantrell at RedHat was applied that detects
2185 invalid calling parameters given to the ns_name_ntop() function.
2186 Specifically, it detects if the caller passed a pointer and size pair
2187 that causes the pointer to integer-wrap past zero.
2188
e4e3a2ab
DH
2189! Fixed a fenceposting bug when a client had two host records configured,
2190 one using 'uid' and the other using 'hardware ethernet'. CVE-2009-1892

2193 the existence of the linked signal handler before calling it.
2194
2267da84
DH
2195- Both host and subnet6 configuration groups are now included whether a
2196 fixed-address6 (DHCPv6) is in use or not. Host scoped configuration takes
2197 precedence. This fixes two bugs, one where host scoped configuration
2198 would not be included from a non-fixed-address6 host record, and the equal
2199 and opposite bug where subnet6 scoped configuration would not be used when
571c38b0 2200 over-riding values were not present in a matching fixed-address6 host
2267da84
DH
2201 configuration.

2203- ./configure now checks to ensure the intX_t and u_intX_t types are defined,
2204 correcting a compilation failure when using Sun's compiler.
2205
0493fdca
SR
2206- Modified the handling of a connection to avoid releasing the omapi io
2207 object for the connection while it is still in use. One symptom from
2208 this error was a segfault when a failover secondary attempted to connect
2209 to the failover primary if their clocks were not synchronized.
2210
95bba8b6
SR
2211- Clean up to allow compilation with gcc 2.95.4 on FreeBSD. Remove an
2212 extra semi-colon from common/dns.c and moved setting a variable to NULL
2213 in server/dhcpv6.c to allow the compiler to decide that the variable
9a111ee8 2214 was always properly set.

2243 in future releases.

2251- DDNS removal routines were updated so that the DHCID is not removed until
2252 the client has been deprived of all A and AAAA records (not only the last
2253 one of either of those). This resolves a bug where dual stack clients
2254 would not be able to regain their names after either expiration event.

2320- A bug in subnet6 parsing where options contained in subnet6 clauses would
2321 not be applied to clients addressed within that network was repaired.
2322
2323- When configuring a "subnet {}" or "subnet6 {}" without an explicit
2324 shared-network enclosing it, the DHCP software would synthesize a
2325 shared-network to contain the subnet. However, all configuration
2326 parameters within the subnet more intuitively belong "to any client
2327 on that interface", or rather the synthesized shared-network. So,
2328 when a shared-network is synthesized, it is used to contain the
2329 configuration present inside the subnet {} clause. This means that
2330 the configuration will be valid for all clients on that network, not
2331 just those addressed out of the stated subnet. If you intended the
2332 opposite, the workaround is to explicitly configure an empty
2333 shared-network.
2334
2335- A bug was fixed where Information-Request processing was not sourcing
2336 configured option values.
2337
2338- A warning was added since the DHCPv6 processing software does not yet
2339 support class statements.
2340
adb95d23 2341- Compilation warnings on GCC 4.3 relating to bootp source address
dd484ced
DH
2342 selection were repaired.
2343
ecddae64
DH
2344- The v6 BSD socket method was updated to use a single UDP BSD socket
2345 no matter how many interfaces are involved, differentiating the
2346 interfaces the packets were received on by the interface index supplied
2347 by the OS.
2348
2349- The relay agent no longer listens to the All DHCP Servers Multicast
2350 address.
2351
2352- A bug was fixed in data_string_sprintfa() where va_start was only called
2353 once for two invocations of vsprintf() variants.
2354
d104d45b
DH
2355- ERO (RFC 4994) server support.
2356
2357- Basic and partial DHCPv6 leasequery support.
2358
2359- Reliable DHCPv6 release (previous behavior, send release and exit, is
2360 still available with dhclient -6 -1 -r).
2361
01a54c17 2362 Changes since 4.0.0 (new features)
3c12f746 2363
6d7f9584
FD
2364- Added DHCPv6 rapid commit support.
2365
4cafb815 2366- Added explicit parser support for zero-length DHCP options, such as
6d7f9584 2367 rapid-commit, via format code 'Z'.
4cafb815 2368
022fe95e
EH
2369- It's now possible to update the "ends" field of a lease with OMAPI.
2370 This is useful if you want not only to release a lease, but also make
2371 it available for reuse right away. Hat tip to Christof Chen.
2372
9a111ee8 2373- Fixed definition of the iaaddr hash functions to use the correct
1dcc3612
SK
2374 functions when referencing and dereferencing memory.
2375
aabfa4de
FD
2376- Some definitions not in phase with the IANA registry were updated.
2377
0674055a
FD
2378- Allocated interface IDs are better controlled ('u' bit set to zero,
2379 reserved IDs avoided).
2380
b51c785f
FD
2381- Unicast options are taken into account only for RENEWs.
2382
900405e9
FD
2383- NoAddrsAvail answers to SOLICITs are always ADVERTISEs even when a SOLICIT
2384 carries a rapid-commit option.
2385
96b620e5
FD
2386- Return in place of raise an impossible condition when one tries to release
2387 an empty active lease.
2388
be62cf06
FD
2389- Timer granularity is now 1/100s in the DHCPv6 client.
2390
01a54c17
EH
2391- The dhclient-script was updated to create a host route for the default
2392 gateway if the supplied subnet mask for an IPv4 address was a /32. This
2393 allows the client to work in 'captive' network environments, where the
2394 operator does not want clients to crosstalk directly.
2395
adb95d23 2396- MINUS tokens should be parsable again.
01a54c17
EH
2397
2398- Multiple (up to "delayed-ack x;" maximum) DHCPv4 packets are now queued and
2399 released in bursts after single fsync() events when the upper limit is
2400 reached or if the receiving sockets go dry. The practical upshot is
2401 that fsync-coupled server performance is now multiplicitively increased.
2402 The default delayed ack limit is 28. Thanks entirely to a patch from
2403 Christof Chen.
2404
2405 Changes since 4.0.0 (bug fixes)
2406
2407- DHCP now builds on AIX.
2408
2409- Exit with warning when DHCPv6-specific statements are used in the
2410 config file but -6 is not specified.
2411
2412- Fixed "--version" flag in dhcrelay
2413
2414- The 'min-secs' configuration parameter's log message has been updated to
2415 be more helpful.
2416
2417- The warning logged when an address range doesn't fit in the subnets
2418 they were declared has been updated to be more helpful and identify the
2419 typo in configuration that created the spanning addresses.
2420
2421- A bug in failover pool rebalancing that caused POOLREQ message ping-pongs
2422 was repaired.
2423
2424- A flaw in failover pool rebalancing that could cause POOLREQ messages to
2425 be sent outside of the min-balance/max-balance scheduled intervals has
2426 been repaired.
2427
2428- A cosmetic bug during potential-conflict recovery that caused the peer's
2429 'conflict-done' state message to be logged as 'unknown-state' has been
2430 repaired. It is now logged correctly.
2431
49f61135
DH
2432- A bug was fixed where the 'giaddr' may be used to find the client's subnet
2433 rather than its own 'ciaddr'.
2434
41d4652f
DH
2435- A log message was introduced to clarify the situation where a failover
2436 'address' parameter (the server's local address) did not resolve to an
2437 IPv4 address.
2438
2c9bf1f4
DH
2439- The minimum site code value was set to 224 in 3.1.0 to track RFC3942. This
2440 broke a lot of legacy site local configurations. The new code in place will
2441 track site local space minimum option codes and logs a warning to encourage
2442 updates and exploration of site local code migration problems. Option
2443 codes less than 128 in site local spaces remain inaccessible.
2444
2445- A possible relay agent option bug was repaired where random server
2446 initialization state may have been used to signal the relay agent
2447 information options sub-option code for the 'END' of the option space.
2448
cff9b78f
SK
2449- Fixes to allow code to compile and run on Solaris 9.
2450
c4d29896
SK
2451- Fixes to allow code to compile on Mac OS X Leopard (10.5).
2452
57fcb8d9
SK
2453- When server is configured with options that it overrides, a warning is
2454 issued when the configuration file is read, rather than at the time the
2455 option is overridden. This was important, because the warning was given
9a111ee8 2456 every time the option was overridden, which could create a lot of
57fcb8d9
SK
2457 unnecessary logging.
2458
219a65eb
DH
2459- Fixed a compilation problems on platforms that define a value for FDDI,
2460 which conflicts with a dhcp configuration syntax token by the same name.
2461
ffdf3c8c
DH
2462- When a failover server suspects it has encountered a peer running a
2463 version 3.0.x failover server, a warning that the failover wire protocol
2464 is incompatible is printed.
2465
2466- The failover server no longer issues a floating point error if it encounters
2467 a previously undefined option code.
2468
00a002fc
MA
2469- Fix startup error messages to report a missing "subnet6 declaration", rather
2470 than a missing "subnet declaration", when running as a DHCPv6 server.
2471
9a111ee8 2472- DHCPv6 client timestamp in DUID was based on the year 1970 rather
7e9f7a1b
FD
2473 than the year 2000.
2474
e2cfde76
FD
2475- Warn when attempting to use a hardware parameter in DHCPv6.
2476
cabdb9b1
FD
2477- DHCPv6 released resources are now marked as released by the client.
2478
5d89d60f
FD
2479- 'Soft' bindings have no more side-effects.
2480
61d75ea2
DH
2481 Changes since 4.0.0b3
2482
2483- The reverse dns name for PTR updates on IPv6 addresses has been fixed to
2484 use ip6.arpa. rather than default to in-addr.arpa and require user
2485 configuration.
76db44f9 2486
e32529a5
EH
2487- dhc6_lease_destroy() and dhc6_ia_destroy() now set lease and IA pointers
2488 to NULL after freeing, to prevent subsequent accesses to freed memory.
2489
9a111ee8 2490- The DHCPv6 server would not send the preference option unless the
76db44f9
SK
2491 client requested it, via the ORO. This has been fixed, so the DHCPv6
2492 server will always send the preference value if it is configured.
e4a6be15 2493
9a111ee8
TM
2494- When addresses were passed as hints to the server in an IA, they were
2495 incorrectly handled, sometimes being treated as an error. Now the
6f76de58
SK
2496 server will treat these as hints and ignore them if it cannot supply
2497 a requested address.
2498
703873ab
DH
2499- If the client had multiple addresses, and one expired (was not renewed
2500 by the server), the client would continue to attempt to renew the same
2501 old address over and over. Now, the client will omit any expired
2502 addresses from future Confirm, Renew, or Rebind messages.
2503
2504- dhclient -6 will now select renew/rebind timers based upon the longest
2505 address expiration time rather than the shortest expiration time, in
2506 order to avoid cascading renewals in the event a server elects not to
2507 extend one of multiple IAADDR leases.
2508
b024480e
DH
2509- The server now limits clients that request multiple addresses to one
2510 address per IA by default, which can be adjusted through the
2511 "limit-addrs-per-ia" configuration option.
2512
c0216cb7
DH
2513- The DHCPv6 client now issues fresh transaction IDs on Renew and Rebind
2514 message exchanges, rather than using the most recent ID.
2515
1ac57173
FD
2516- The DHCPv6 server now replies to Information-Request messages.
2517
83835822
DH
2518- A bug was fixed in the dhclient-script for BSDs to correctly carry error
2519 codes through some conditions.
2520
c54db708
FD
2521- The parsing of some options in the dhclient lease file, in particular
2522 the success DHCPv6 status-code, was fixed.
2523
e5d83524
DH
2524- A bug was fixed that caused the DHCPv6 ORO option to be corrupted with
2525 seemingly random values.
2526
821f2dda
DH
2527- A reference overleak in DHCPv6 shared network processing was repaired.
2528
f8b3c6f4
DH
2529- ./configure now autodetects local database locations rather than trying
2530 to put dhcpd.leases and dhclient.leases in /usr/local/var/db, which no
2531 one ever has.
2532
9a111ee8
TM
2533- Regression fix for bug where server advertised a IPv6 address in
2534 response to a SOLICIT but would not return the address in response
b9137d42
SK
2535 to a REQUEST.
2536
9f1d5a2f
DH
2537- A bug was fixed where the DHCPv6 server puts the NoAddrsAvail status
2538 code in the IA_NA was fixed. The status code now appears in the root
2539 level.
2540
e4a6be15
DH
2541 Changes since 4.0.0b2
2542
65cf86d7
EH
2543- Clarified error message when lease limit exceeded
2544
b1d3778c
DH
2545- Relative time may now be used as a qualifier for 'allow' and 'deny' access
2546 control lists. These directives may be used to assist in re-addressing
2547 address pools without having to constantly reconfigure the server. Please
2548 see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more information on allow/deny 'after time' syntax.
2549 Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen.
2550
bead14ea
DH
2551- The server will now include multiple IA_NA's and multiple IAADDRs within
2552 them, if advertised by the client. It still only seeks to allocate one
2553 new address.
2554
f765ec36
SK
2555 Changes since 4.0.0b1
2556
75135a3f 2557- Use different paths for PID and lease files when running in DHCPv4
adb95d23 2558 or DHCPv6 mode, so that servers for both protocols can be run
75135a3f
EH
2559 simultaneously on a single interface.
2560
5c2d55c7
EH
2561- Fixed a buffer overflow error which could have allowed a denial
2562 of service under unusual server configurations
2563
2564- Eliminated a spurious error message from the client
2565
9a111ee8 2566- A number of bugs with the internal handling of lease state on the
f765ec36 2567 server have been fixed. Some of these could cause server crashes.
fa9b593d 2568
edb1283e
DH
2569- The peer_wants_leases() changes pulled up from 3.1.0 were corrected,
2570 'never used' leases will no longer consistently shift between servers
2571 on every pool rebalance run.
2572
c71c6399
DH
2573- sendmsg()/recvmsg() control buffers are now declared in such a way to
2574 ensure they are correctly aligned on all (esp. 64-bit) architectures.
2575
5279b8f3
DH
2576- The client leasing subsystem was streamlined and corrected to account
2577 more closely for changes in client link attachment selection.
2578
ab3a540f 2579 Changes since 4.0.0a3
763cba6b 2580
9a111ee8 2581- The DHCP server no longer requires a "ddns-update-style" statement,
884a458f
SK
2582 and now defaults to "none", which means DNS updates are disabled.
2583
fa9b593d
DH
2584- Log messages when failover peer names mismatch have been improved to
2585 point out the problem.
2586
9a111ee8 2587- Bug where server advertised a IPv6 address in response to a SOLICIT
1b5053b5
SK
2588 but would not return the address in response to a REQUEST. Thanks to
2589 Dennis Kou for finding the bug.
2590
c886c298
SK
2591- Fixed an error causing the server to lock up on lease expiration,
2592 reported independently by Jothilingam Vasu and Dennis Kou.
2593
eaf7eb17
DH
2594- Fixed a ./configure bug where compile tests were failing due to
2595 "-Werror" (unused variable) rather than the actual test failure. Lead
2596 to inconsistent and unworkable auto-configurations.
2597
109e00db
DH
2598- Compilation with DLPI and -Werror has been repaired.
2599
9a111ee8 2600- Error in decoding IA_NA option if multiple interfaces are present
3ad9d48f
SK
2601 fixed by Marcus Goller.
2602
8eab95f2
DH
2603- DHCPv6 server Confirm message processing has been enhanced - it no
2604 longer replies only to clients with host {} records, it now replies
2605 as directed in RFC3315 section 18.2.2 - that is, to all clients
2606 regardless of the existence of bindings.
2607
07b9a351
DH
2608- A core dump during expired lease cleanup has been repaired.
2609
7285af30
DH
2610- DDNS updates state information are now stored in 'binding scopes' that
2611 follow the leases through their lifecycles. This enables DDNS teardowns
2612 on leases that are assigned and expired inbetween a server restart (the
2613 state is recovered from dhcpd.leases). Arbitrary user-specified binding
2614 scopes ('set var = "value";') are not yet supported.

2631- DHCPv6 is now the default. You can disable DHCPv6 support using the
2632 "--disable-dhcpv6" flag when you run the configure script.

2634- An internal database inconsistency bug was repaired where the server
2635 would segfault if a client attempted to renew a lease that had been
2636 loaded from persistent storage.
2637
45d545f0 2638- 'request' and 'also request' syntaxes have been added to accommodate
0c20eab3
DH
2639 the DHCPv6 client configuration. 'send dhcp6.oro' is no longer
2640 necessary.
2641
9a111ee8
TM
2642- Bug fixed where configuration file parsing did not work with

f800f4f6
SK
2644 rapid-commit option.

f66f02cc
DH
2705 header files to include it (fixes a BSD 4.2 compile failure).
2706
2707- Duplicate dhclient-script updates for DHCPv6 to all provided scripts.
a512d11b 2708
4ba58919
DH
2709- DHCPv4 I/O methods that failed to sense hardware address were corrected.
2710
2711- DHCPv4 is now the default (as documented) rather than DHCPv6. The default
2712 was set to DHCPv6 to facilitate ease early development, and forgotten.
2713
2714- Corrected a segmentation violation in DHCPv4 socket processing.
2715
8ea19a71 2716- dhclient will now fork() into the background once it binds to an
45d545f0 2717 IPv6 address, or immediately if the -n flag is supplied.
8ea19a71

DH
2728 Changes since 3.1.0 (NEW FEATURES)
2729
2730- DHCPv6 Client and Server protocol support. Use '-6' to run the daemons
2731 as v6-only. Use '-4' to run the daemons as v4-only (default. There is
2732 no support currently for both.
2733
2734- Server support for multiple IA_NA options, containing at most one
2735 IAADDR option.
2736
2737- Client support for one IA_NA option, containing any number of IAADDR
2738 options.
2739
2740- Server support for the DHCPv6 Information-request message.
2741
2742- Inappropriate unicast DHCPv6 messages sent to the server are now
2743 discarded, and this has rearchitected the IO system slightly.
2744
2745- The DHCPv6 server DUID defaults to type 1, is persistently stored in
2746 the leases database, and can be over-ridden (either completely, or by
2747 specifying type 1 or type 2).
2748
2749- The server only uses Rapid-Commit if it has been configured with the
2750 Rapid-Commit option and the client requests it.
2751
2752- DDNS support. We now update AAAA records in the same place we would
2753 update A records, if we have an IPv6 address. We also generate IP6.ARPA
2754 style names for PTR records if we're dealing with an IPv6 address. Both
2755 A and AAAA updates are done using the same 'fqdn.' virtual option space
2756 (although the DHCPv4 FQDN and DHCPv6 FQDN options are formatted
2757 differently, they both use the same code here).
2758
2759- The Linux dhclient-script attempts to set and remove assigned addresses,
2760 and to configure /etc/resolv.conf from nameserver and domain name
2761 configurations. It can be extended to configure other parameters.
2762
2763- Initial DHCPv6 lease support.
2764
2765- The IO system now tracks all local IP addresses, so that the DHCP
2766 applications (particularly the dhcrelay) can discern between what frames
2767 were transmitted to it, and what frames are being carried through it which
2768 it should not intercept.

DH
2770 Changes since 3.1.0 (Maintenance)
2771
2772- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for virgin leases always
2773 mapped to the primary. Virgin leases now have an interleaved preference
2774 between primary and secondary.
2775
2776- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for clients with no client
2777 identifier was sometimes mishashed to the peer. Load balancing during
2778 runtime and pool rebalancing were opposing.
2779
aa3e348e
DH
2780- An assertion in lease counting relating to reserved leases was repaired.
2781
e9c59645
DH
2782- The subnet-mask option inclusion now conforms with RFC2132 section 3.3;
2783 it will only appear prior to the routers option if it is present on the
2784 Parameter-Request-List. The subnet-mask option will also only be
2785 included by default (if it is not on the PRL) in response to DISCOVER
2786 or REQUEST messages.
2787
2788- The FQDN option is only supplied if the client supplied an FQDN option or
2789 if the FQDN option was explicitly requested on the PRL.
2790
c104546d
DH
2791- Dynamic BOOTP leases are now load balanced in failover.
2792
b9d0cc05
DH
2793 Changes since 3.1.0rc1
2794
adb95d23 2795- The parse warning that 'deny dynamic bootp;' must be configured for
b9d0cc05
DH
2796 failover protected subnets was removed.
2797
a512cc3a
DH
2798 Changes since 3.1.0b2
2799
2800- Failover rebalance events no longer play ping pong with round errors
2801 (moving leases between free and back to backup where there are an
2802 odd number of leases).
2803
2804- The 'pool' log line has been split into two messages, one before the
2805 rebalance run, and one after.
2806
2807- Any queued BNDACKs are transmitted before transmitting new BNDUPDs.
2808 This enforces the correct sequence of events for the remote server
2809 processing these messages.
2810
fe5b0fdd 2811 Changes since 3.1.0b1
27837f95 2812
74dc3e0b
EH
2813- Fixed a bug that caused OMAPI clients to freeze when opening lease
2814 objects.
2815
1ba87b37
EH
2816- A new server config option "fqdn-reply" specifies whether the server
2817 should send out option 81 (FQDN). Defaults to "on". If set to "off",
2818 the FQDN option is not sent, even if the client requested it. This is
2819 needed because some clients misbehave otherwise. Thanks to Christof Chen
2820 at Allianz.
2821
a58da042
EH
2822- Allow trace output files (-tf option) to be overwritten, rather than
2823 crashing dhcpd if the file already exists
2824
61252edf
EH
2825- A bug was fixed that caused dhcpd to segfault if a pool was declared
2826 outside the scope of a subnet in dhcpd.conf.
2827
27837f95
DH
2828- Some uninitialized values were repaired in dhcpleasequery.c that
2829 caused the server to abort.
2830
4d2eaafb
DH
2831- A new server config option, 'do-reverse-updates', has been added
2832 which causes the server to abstain from performing updates on PTR
2833 records. Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen at Allianz.
2834
06211b40
DH
2835- A bug was repaired in subencapsulation support, where spaces separated
2836 by empty spaces would not get included.
2837
d6614ea2
DH
2838- A bug in dhclient was repaired which caused it to send parameter request
2839 lists of 55 bytes in length no matter how long the declared PRL was.
2840
132d38f2
DH
2841- 'dhcp.c(3953): non-null pointer' has been repaired. This fixes a flaw
2842 wherein the DHCPv4 server may ignore a configured server-identifier.
2843
fc3b9c90
DH
2844- A flaw in failover startup sequences was repaired that sometimes left
2845 the primary DHCP server's pool rebalance schedules unscheduled.
2846
c9feb859
DH
2847- Corrected a flaw that broke encapsulated spaces included due to presence
2848 on the parameter request list.

c57db45c
SK
2850 Changes since 3.1.0a3
2851
2852- Some spelling fixes.
98311e4b 2853
bd2bc2fa
DH
2854 Changes since 3.1.0a2
2855
2856- A bug was fixed where attempting to permit leasequeries results in a
2857 fatal internal error, "Unable to find server option 49".
2858
85edef5c
DH
2859- A bug was fixed in dhclient rendering the textual output form of the
2860 domain-search option syntax.
2861
bdddcb7d
DH
2862 Changes since 3.1.0a1
2863
2864- A bug in the FQDN universe that added FQDN codes to the NWIP universe's
2865 hash table was repaired.
2866
616d67cb
DH
2867- The servers now try harder to transmit pending binding updates when
2868 entering normal state.
2869
2870- UPDREQ/UPDREQALL handling was optimized - it no longer dequeues and
2871 requeues all pending updates. This should reduce the number of spurious
66c8f734
DH
2872 'xid mismatch' log messages.
2873
2874- An option definition referencing leak was fixed, which resulted in early
2875 termination of dhclient upon the renewal event.
616d67cb 2876
6708d944
DH
2877- Some default hash table sizes were tweaked, some upwards, some downwards.
2878 3.1.0a1's tables resulted in a reduction in default server memory use.
2879 The new selected values provide more of a zero sum (increasing the size
2880 of tables likely to be populated, decreasing the size of tables unlikely).
2881
45d545f0 2882- Lease structures appear in three separate hashes: by IP address, by UID,
6708d944
DH
2883 and by hardware address. One type of table was used for all three, and
2884 improvements to IP address hashing were applied to all three (so UID and
2885 hardware addresses were treated like 4-byte integers). There are now two
2886 types of tables, and the uid/hw hashes use functions more appropriate
2887 to their needs.
2888
2889- The max-lease-misbalance percentage no longer causes scheduled rebalance
2890 runs to be skipped: it still governs the schedule, but every scheduled
2891 run will attempt balance.
2892
a7ee93fe
DH
2893- A segfault bug in recursive encapsulation support has been corrected.
2894
98311e4b
DH
2895 Changes since 3.0 (New Features)
2896
2897- A workaround for certain STSN servers that send a mangled domain-name
2898 option was introduced for dhclient. The client will now accept corrupted
2899 server responses, if they contain a valid DHCP_MESSAGE_TYPE (OFFER, ACK,
2900 or NAK). The server will continue to not accept corrupt client packets.
2901
98bd7ca0 2902- Support for 'reserved' (pseudo-static) and BOOTP leases via failover
a55ccdd0 2903 was introduced.
98311e4b
DH
2904
2905- Support for adding, removing, and managing class and subclass statements
2906 via OMAPI.
2907
a55ccdd0
DH
2908- The failover implementation was updated to comply with revision 12 of
2909 the protocol draft.
2910
98311e4b
DH
2911- 'make install' now creates the initial zero-length dhcpd.leases file if
2912 one does not already exist on the system.
2913
b43c87ad 2914- RFC3942 compliance, site-local option spaces start at 224 now, not 128.
b43c87ad 2915
0b17f049
DH
2916- The Load Balance Algorithm was misimplemented. The current implementation
2917 matches RFC 3074.
2918
2727c1cf
DH
2919- lcase() and ucase() configuration expressions have been added which adjust
2920 their arguments from upper to lower and lower to upper cases respectively.
2714a8ef 2921 Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
2727c1cf 2922
febbd402
DH
2923- The dhclient 'reject ...;' statement, which rejects leases given by named
2924 server-identifiers, now permits address ranges to be specified in CIDR
7d7073e7 2925 notation. Thanks to a patch from David Boyce.
febbd402 2926
ee912528
DH
2927- The subnet-mask option is now supplied by default, but at lowest
2928 priority. This helps a small minority of clients that provide parameter
2929 request lists, but do not list the subnet-mask option because they were
2930 designed to interoperate with a server that behaves in this manner.
2931
2932- The FQDN option is similarly supplied even if it does not appear on the
2933 parameter request list, but not to the exclusion of options that do
2934 appear at the parameter request list. Up until now it had ultimate
2935 priority over the client's parameter request list.
2936
f7fdb216 2937- Varying option space code and length bit widths (8/16/32) are now
51202707 2938 supported. This is a milestone in achieving RFC 3925 "VIVSO" and
f7fdb216
DH
2939 DHCPv6 support.
2940
5e864416
DH
2941- A new common (server or client) option, 'db-time-format local;', has
2942 been added which prints the local time in /var/db/dhcpd.leases rather
2943 than UTC. Thanks to a patch from Ken Lalonde.
2944
b500bd4c
DH
2945- Some patches to improve DHCP Server startup speed from Andrew Matheson
2946 have been incorporated.
2947
2426234f
DH
2948- Failover pairs now implement 'MAC Affinity' on leases moving from the
2949 active to free states. Leases that belonged to the failover secondary
2950 are moved to BACKUP state rather than FREE upon exiting EXPIRED state.
2951 If lease rebalancing must move leases, it tries first to move leases
2952 that belong to the peer in need.
2953
2954- The server no longer sends POOLREQ messages unless the pool is severely
2955 misbalanced in the peer's favor (see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more details).
2956
2957- Pool rebalance events no longer happen upon successfully allocating a
2958 lease. Instead, they happen on a schedule. See 'man dhcpd.conf' for the
2959 min-balance and max-balance statements for more information.
2960
334bf491
DH
2961- The DHCP Relay Agent Information Option / Link Selection Sub-Option
2962 is now supported. (See RFC3527 for details).
2963
3004bebf
DH
2964- A new DDNS related server option, update-conflict-detection, has been
2965 added. If this option is enabled, dhcpd will perform normal DHCID
2966 conflict resolution (the default). If this option is disabled, it will
2967 instead trust the assigned name implicitly (removing any other bindings
2968 on that name). This option has not been made available in dhclient.
2969
567e8561
DH
2970- In those cases where the DHCP software manufactures an IP header (to
2971 transmit via bpf, lpf, etc), the IP TTL the software selects has been
2972 increased from 16 to 128. This is intended to match Microsoft Windows
2973 DHCP Client behaviour, to increase compatibility.
2974
a396d25f
DH
2975- 'ignore client-updates;' now has behaviour that is different from
2976 'deny client-updates;'. The client's request is not truly ignored,
2977 rather it is encouraged. Should this value be configured, the server
2978 updates DNS as though client-updates were set to 'deny'. That is, it
2979 enters into DNS whatever it is configured to do already, provided it is
2980 configured to. Then it sends a response to the client that lets the
2981 client believe it is performing client updates (which it will), probably
2982 for a different name. In essence, this lets the client do as it will,
2983 ignoring this aspect of their request.
2984
dba5803b
DH
2985- Support for compressed 'domain name list' style DHCP option contents, and
2986 in particular the domain search option (#119) was added.
2987
41e45067 2988- The DHCP LEASEQUERY protocol as defined in RFC4388 is now implemented.
6d103865
SK
2989 LEASEQUERY lets you query the DHCP server for information about a lease,
2990 using either an IP address, MAC address, or client identifier. Thanks
2991 to a patch from Justin Haddad.
2992
41e45067
DH
2993- DHCPD is now RFC2131 section 4.1 compliant (broadcast to all-ones ip and
2994 ethernet mac address) on the SCO platform specifically without any strange
2995 ifconfig hacks. Many thanks go to the Kroger Co. for donating the
2996 hardware and funding the development.
6d103865 2997
b543fea9
DH
2998- A new common configuration executable statement, execute(), has been
2999 added. This permits dhcpd or dhclient to execute a named external
3000 program with command line arguments specified from other configuration
3001 language. Thanks to a patch written by Mattias Ronnblom, gotten to us
3002 via Robin Breathe.
3003
b22de500
DH
3004- A new dhcp server option 'adaptive-lease-time-threshold' has been added
3005 which causes the server to substantially reduce lease-times if there are
3006 few (configured percentage) remaining leases. Thanks to a patch submitted
3007 from Christof Chen.
3008
96bbe8c5
SK
3009- Encapsulated option spaces within encapsulated option spaces is now
3010 formally supported.
3011
b8221d95
DH
3012 Changes since 3.0.6rc1
3013
3014- supersede_lease() now requeues leases in their respective hardware
3015 address hash bucket. This mirrors client identifier behaviour.
3016
c1e6c832
DH
3017 Changes since 3.0.5
3018
f546c28b
DH
3019- Assorted fixes for broken network devices: Packet length is now
3020 determined from the IP header length field to finally calculate the
3021 UDP payload length, because some NIC drivers return more data than
5a22eb63 3022 they actually received.
f546c28b
DH
3023
3024- UDP packets are now stored in aligned data structures.
3025
c1e6c832
DH
3026- A logic error in omapi interface code was repaired that might result in
3027 incorrectly indicating 'up' state when any flags were set, rather than
23e10d37
DH
3028 specifically the INTERFACE_REQUESTED flag. Thanks to a patch from
3029 Jochen Voss which got to us via Andrew Pollock at Debian.
c1e6c832 3030
75ab3070
DH
3031- A reference leak on binding scopes set by ddns updates was repaired.
3032
d69fb6a8 3033- A memory leak in the minires_nsendsigned() function call was repaired.
23e10d37 3034 Effectively, this leaked ~176 bytes per DDNS update.
d69fb6a8 3035
02428754
DH
3036- In the case where an "L2" DHCP Relay Agent (one that does not set giaddr)
3037 was directly attached to the same broadcast domain as the DHCP server,
3038 the RFC3046 relay agent information option was not being returned to the
3039 relay in the server's replies. This was fixed; the dhcp server no longer
3040 requires the giaddr to reply with relay agent information. Note that
3041 this also improves compatibility with L2 devices that "intercept" DHCP
3042 packets and expect relay agent information even in unicast (renewal)
23e10d37
DH
3043 replies. Thanks to a patch from Pekka Silvonen.
3044
3045- A bug was fixed where the BOOTP header 'sname' field had a value, the
3046 copy written to persistent storage was actually the contents of the
3047 'file' field.
02428754 3048
ecde99a3
DH
3049- A bug was fixed where the nwip virtual option space was referencing
3050 the fqdn option's virtual option space's option cache.
3051
67674ffb
DH
3052- Timestamp parsing errors that indicated missing "minutes" fields rather
3053 than the actually missing "seconds" fields have been repaired thanks to
3054 a patch from Kevin Steves.
3055
830ebc4c
DH
3056- A grammar error in the dhclient.8 manpage was repaired thanks to a patch
3057 from Chris Wagner.
3058
c759db75
DH
3059- Several spelling typos were repaired, and some cross-references to other
3060 relevant documents were included in the manpages, thanks to a patch
3061 by Andrew Pollock which got to us via Tomas Pospisek.
3062
9aa3f3a5
DH
3063- Some bugs were fixed in the 'emergency relay agent options hologram'
3064 which is used to retain relay agent option contents from when the
3065 client was in INIT or REBIND states. This should solve problems where
3066 relay agent options were not echoed from the server, even when giaddr
3067 was set.
3068
3d0c598a
DH
3069- dhclient now closes its descriptor to dhclient.leases prior to executing
3070 dhclient-script. Thanks to a patch from Tomas Pospisek.
3071
d5b6835f
DH
3072- The server's "by client-id" and "by hardware address" hash table lists
3073 are now sorted according to the preference to re-allocate that lease to
3074 returning clients. This should eliminate pool starvation problems
3075 arising when "INIT" clients were given new leases rather than presently
3076 active ones.
3077
02428754 3078 Changes since 3.0.5rc1
0a73b7b6 3079
901306d5 3080- A bug was repaired in fixes to the dhclient, which sought to run the
0a73b7b6
SK
3081 dhclient-script with the 'EXPIRE' state should it receive a NAK in
3082 response to a REQUEST. The client now iterates the PREINIT state
3083 after the EXPIRE state, so that interfaces that might be configured
3084 'down' can be brought back 'up' and initialized.
3085
87a08ccc
DH
3086- DHCPINFORM handling for clients that properly set ciaddr and come to the
3087 server via a relay aget has been repaired.
3088
6da113fb
DH
3089 Changes since 3.0.4
3090
3091- A warning that host statements declared within subnet or shared-network
3092 scopes are actually global has been added.
3093
3094- The default minimum lease time (if min-lease-time was not specified)
3095 was raised from 0 to 300. 0 is not thought to be sensible, and is
3096 known to be damaging.
3097
3098- Added additional fatal error sanity checks surrounding lease binding
3099 state count calculations (free/active counts used for failover pool
3100 balancing).
3101
dcc557db
DH
3102- Some time value size fixes in 3.0.4 brought on from FreeBSD /usr/ports were
3103 misapplied to server values rather than client values. The server no longer
3104 advertises 8-byte lease-time options when on 64-bit platforms.
3105
1b2ab55f
DH
3106- A bug where leases not in ACTIVE state would get billed to billed classes
3107 (classes with lease limitations) was fixed. Non-active leases OFFERed
3108 to clients are no longer billed (but billing is checked before offering).
3109
e48891e8
DH
3110- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated in regard to the ddns-domainname
3111 configuration option - the default configuration and results should be
3112 more clear now.
3113
6cbc6629
DH
3114- If the dhclient were to receive a DHCPNAK while it was in the RENEW
3115 state (and consequently, had an active, 'bound' address and related
3116 configuration options), it would fail to 'tear down' this information
3117 before proceeding into INIT state. dhclient now iterates the dhclient-
3118 script with the 'EXPIRE' action to cause these teardowns prior to entering
1d3bfb17 3119 INIT state. Thanks to a patch from Chris Zimmerman.
6cbc6629 3120
c5fec5fa
DH
3121- The omapi.1 manpage had some formatting errors repaired thanks to a patch
3122 from Yoshihiko Sarumaru.
3123
33e1cb2b
DH
3124- A few lines of code that were failover-specific were moved within
3125 #if defined() clauses so that compilation without failover could be
3126 made possible.
3127
2bddf829
DH
3128- The log message emitted when the 'leased-address' value was not available
3129 in dhcpd.conf "executable statements" has been updated to be more helpful.
3130 Manpage information for this value has also been updated.
3131
87578987
DH
3132- Abandoned or dissociated (err condition) leases now remove any related
3133 dynamic dns bindings. Thanks to a patch from Patrick Schoo.
3134
e77c575f
DH
3135- Attempting to write a new lease file to replace a corrupt (due to
3136 encountering non-retryable errors during writing) lease file should
3137 no longer result in an infinite recursion.
3138
2178df03
DH
3139- Host declaration hardware addresses and client identifiers may only be
3140 configured once. dhcpd will now fail to load config files that specify
3141 multiple identifiers (previous versions would silently over-ride the
3142 value with the later configured value).
3143
d5341d9b
SK
3144- Several option codes that have been allocated since our last release
3145 have been named and documented.
3146
3147- Option names of the form "unknown-123" have been removed from the in-
3148 memory hash tables. In order to support options of these names that
3149 may appear in dhclient.leases or similar in previous versions, the
3150 parser will now find the new option code definition, or mock up a
3151 generic option code definition. This should result in a smooth
3152 transition from one name to the other, as the new name is used to
3153 write new output.
3154
6da113fb
DH
3155 Changes since 3.0.4rc1
3156
3157- The dhcp-options.5 manpage was updated to correct indentation errors
3158 thanks to a patch from Jean Delvare.
3159
3160 Changes since 3.0.4b3
3161
3162- Some manual pages were clarified pursuant to discussion on the dhcp-server
3163 mailing list.
3164
88cd8aca
DH
3165 Changes since 3.0.4b2
3166
45d545f0 3167- Null-termination sensing for certain clients that unfortunately require
88cd8aca
DH
3168 it in DHCPINFORM processing was repaired.
3169
3170- The host-name option and a few others were moved from "X" format to "t"
3171 format to be compatible with new NULL handling functions.
3172
3173- DHCPINFORM processing is a little more careful about return addressing
3174 its responses, or if responding via a relay. The INFORM related
3175 messages also log the 'effective client ip address' rather than the
3176 client's supplied ciaddr (since some clients produce null ciaddrs).
3177
3178- The server was inappropriately sending leases to the RESET state in the
3179 event that multiple active leases were found to match a singly-identified
3180 client. This was changed to RELEASED (by accepting a different, ACTIVE
3181 binding, the client is implicitly releasing its lease). This repairs a
3182 bug wherein secondary servers in failover pairs detecting this condition
3183 move leases to RESET, and primaries refuse to accept that state
3184 transition (properly).
3185
3186- The memset-after-dmalloc() changes made in 3.0.4b1 have been backed out.
3187
3188 Changes since 3.0.4b1
3189
3190- Command line parsing in omshell was repaired - it no longer closes
3191 STDIN after reading one line.
3192
3193- The resolver library no longer closes the /etc/resolv.conf file
3194 descriptor it opened twice.
3195
3196- Changes to trailing NULL removal in 't' option-atoms has been rethought,
3197 it now includes 'd' (domain name) types, and tries hard not to rewind an
3198 option beyond the start of the text field it is un-terminating.
3199
3200 Changes since 3.0.3
3201
3202- A DDNS update handling function was misusing the DNS error codes, rather
3203 than the internal generic result enumeration. The result is a confusing
3204 syslog line, logging the wrong condition.
3205
3206- The DHCP Server was not checking pool balance in the case where it brought
3207 a non-ACTIVE lease out of storage for a client that was returning to use
3208 a lease it once had long ago, and had since expired.
3209
3210- Failover peers no longer bother to look for free leases to allocate when
3211 they already found the client's ACTIVE lease. DISCOVERs are load balanced
98bd7ca0 3212 whether freely-allocated or not, unless the server doubts the peer has
88cd8aca
DH
3213 leases to allocate.
3214
3215- Fixed a bug in dhcrelay agent addition code that suppressed trailing
45d545f0 3216 PAD options - it was suppressing only one trailing PAD option, rather
88cd8aca
DH
3217 than the entire block of them.
3218
3a16098f
DH
3219! Fixed some unlikely overlapping-region memcpy() bugs in dhcrelay agent
3220 option addition and stripping code. Added a few sanity checks. Although
3221 highly improbable, due to requiring the reception of a DHCP datagram well
3222 in excess of all known to be used physical MTU limitations, it is possible
3223 this may have been used in a stack overflow security vulnerability. Thanks
3224 to a patch from infamous42md.
3225
3226! Added some sanity checks to OMAPI connection/authentication code.
3227 Although highly improbable, due to having to deliver in excess of 2^32
3228 bytes of data via the OMAPI channel, not to mention requiring dhcpd to
3229 be able to malloc() a memory region 2^32 bytes in size, it was possible
3230 this might have resulted in a heap overflow security vulnerability.
3231 Thanks to a patch from infamous42md.
88cd8aca
DH
3232
3233- dmalloc() memset()'s the non-debug (data) portion of the allocated
3234 memory to zero. Code that memset()'s the result returned by dmalloc() to
3235 zero is redundant. These redundancies were removed.
3236
3237- Some type declaration corrections to u_int16_t were made in common/tr.c
4b97eaff 3238 (Token Ring support) thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
88cd8aca
DH
3239
3240- A failover bug that was allowing leases that EXPIRED or were RELEASED
3241 where tsfp and tstp are identical timestamps to languish in these
3242 transitional states has been repaired. As a side effect, lease
3243 databases should be kept more consistent overall, not just for these
3244 transitional states.
3245
3246- If the lease db is deleted out from under the daemon, and it moves to rewrite
3247 the db, it will go ahead with the operation and move the new db into place
3248 once it detects the old db does not exist.
3249
3250- dhclient now ignores IRDA, SIT, and IEEE1394 network interfaces, as it
3251 is either nonsensical or (in the case of IEEE1394) is not known to support
3252 these interfaces. Thanks to Marius Gedminas and Andrew Pollock of Debian.
3253
3254- Some previously undocumented reasons for dhclient-script invoking has
45d545f0 3255 been documented in the dhclient-script.8 manpage.
88cd8aca
DH
3256
3257- Failover potential expiry calculations (TSTP) have been corrected. Results
3258 should be substantially more consistent, and proper given the constraints.
3259
3260- Adjusted lease state validation checks in potential-conflict, to
3261 account for possible clock skew similarly to normal state, and several
3262 previously illegal transitions were made legal (ex: active->released).
3263
3264- An impossible sanity check was removed from omapi/buffer.c, thanks to a
3265 patch from 'infamous42md'.
3266
3267- An OMAPI host/network byte order problem in lease time values has been
3268 repaired.
3269
3270- Several minor bugs, largely relating to treating 8-byte time values as
3271 4-byte entities, have been repaired after careful review of the FreeBSD
3272 ports collection's patch set. Thanks to the nameless entities who have
3273 contributed to the FreeBSD ports.
3274
3275- When writing a trace file, the file is now created with permissions 0600,
3276 to help administrators avoid accidentally publicising sensitive config
3277 data.
3278
3279- The calculation of the maximum size of DHCP packets no longer includes
3280 Ethernet framing overhead. The result is that the 'Maximum Message
3281 Size' option advertised by clients, or the default value 576, is no
3282 longer reduced by 14 bytes, and instead directly reflects the IP level
3283 MTU (and the default, minimum allowed IP MTU of 576).
3284
3285- The special status of RELEASED/EXPIRED/RESET leases when a server
3286 is operating in partner-down was fixed. It no longer requires a
3287 lease be twice the MCLT beyond STOS to 'reallocate', and the expiry
3288 event to turn these into FREE leases without peer acknowledgement
3289 (after STOS+MCLT) has been repaired.
3290
3291- Compilation on older Solaris systems (lacking /usr/include/sys/int_types.h)
3292 has been repaired.
3293
3294- "append"ing a string onto the end of a "t" type option (such as the
3295 domain-name field) that had been improperly NULL-terminated by the
3296 DHCP server will no longer result in a truncated string containing
3297 only the option from the server, and not the expected appended value.
4b97eaff 3298 Thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
88cd8aca
DH
3299
3300- File handlers on configuration state (config files and lease dbs) should
98bd7ca0 3301 be treated consistently, regardless of whether TRACING is defined or not.
88cd8aca 3302
45d545f0 3303- The Linux build environment has had some minor improvements - better
88cd8aca
DH
3304 sensing of 64-bit pointer sizes (only used for establishing an icmp_id),
3305 and corrections to #if operators regarding LINUX_MAJOR should it ever
3306 move to 3.[01].x.
3307
3308- The server now tries harder to survive the condition where it is unable
3309 to open a new lease file to rewrite the lease state database.
3310
c75473d8
DH
3311 Changes since 3.0.3b3
3312
3313- dhclient.conf documentation for interface {} was updated to reflect recent
3314 discussion on the dhcp-hackers mailing list.
3315
3316- In response to reports that the software does not compile on GCC 4.0.0,
3317 -Werror was removed from Makefile.conf for all platforms that used it.
3318 We will address the true problem in a future release; this is a temporary
3319 workaround.
3320
3321 Changes since 3.0.3b2
3322
3323- An error in code changes introduced in 3.0.3b2 was corrected, which caused
3324 static BOOTP clients to receive random addresses.
3325
3326 Changes since 3.0.3b1
3327
3328- A bug was fixed in BOOTPREQUEST handling code wherein stale references to
3329 host records would be left behind on leases that were not allocated to the
3330 client currently booting (eg in the case where the host was denied booting).
3331
3332- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated to be more clear in regards to
3333 multiple host declarations (thanks to Vincent McIntyre). 'Interim' style
3334 dynamic updates were also retouched.
3335
98311e4b
DH
3336 Changes since 3.0.2
3337
3338- A bug was fixed where a server might load balance a DHCP REQUEST to its
45d545f0 3339 peer after already choosing not to load balance the preceding DISCOVER.
98311e4b
DH
3340 The peer cannot allocate the originating server's lease.
3341
3342- In the case where a secondary server lost its stable storage while the
3343 primary was still in communications-interrupted, and came back online,
3344 the lease databases would not be fully transferred to the secondary.
3345 This was due to the secondary errantly sending an extra UPDREQ message
3346 when the primary made its state transition to PARTNER-DOWN known.
3347
3348- The package will now compile cleanly in gcc 3.3 and 3.4. As a side effect,
3349 lease structures will be 9 bytes smaller on all platforms. Thanks to
4b97eaff 3350 Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3351
3352- Interface discovery code in DISCOVER_UNCONFIGURED mode is now
3353 properly restricted to only detecting broadcast interfaces. Thanks
4b97eaff 3354 to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3355
3356- decode_udp_ip_header was changed so that the IP address was copied out
3357 to a variable, rather than referenced by a pointer. This enforces 4-byte
3358 alignment of the 32-bit IP address value. Thanks to a patch from Dr.
3359 Peter Poeml.
3360
3361- An incorrect log message was corrected thanks to a patch from
3362 Dr. Peter Poeml.
3363
3364- A bug in DDNS was repaired, where if the server's first DDNS action was
3365 a DDNS removal rather than a DDNS update, the resolver library's
3366 retransmit timer and retry timer was set to the default, implying a
3367 15 second timeout interval. Which is a little excessive in a synchronous,
3368 single-threaded system. In all cases, ISC DHCP should now hold fast to
3369 a 1-second timeout, trying only once.
3370
3371- The siaddr field was being improperly set to the server-identifier when
3372 responding to DHCP messages. RFC2131 clarified the siaddr field as
3373 meaning the 'next server in the bootstrap process', eg a tftp server.
3374 The siaddr field is now left zeroed unless next-server is configured.
3375
3376- mockup_lease() could have returned in an error condition (or in the
3377 condition where no fixed-address was found matching the shared
3378 network) with stale references to a host record. This is probably not
3379 a memory leak since host records generally never die anyway.
3380
3381- A bug was repaired where failover servers would let stale client identifiers
3382 persist on leases that were reallocated to new clients not sending an id.
3383
3384- Binding scopes ("set var = value;") are now removed from leases allocated
3385 by failover peers if the lease had expired. This should help reduce the
3386 number of stale binding scopes on leases.
3387
3388- A small memory leak was closed involving client identifiers larger than
3389 7 bytes, and failover.
3390
3391- Configuring a subnet in dhcpd.conf with a subnet mask of 32 bits might
3392 cause an internal function to overflow heap. Thanks to Jason Vas Dias
4b97eaff 3393 at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3394
3395- Some inconsistencies in treating numbers that the lexer parsed as 'NUMBER'
3396 or 'NUMBER_OR_NAME' was repaired. Hexadecimal parsing is affected, and
3397 should work better.
3398
3399- In several cases, parse warnings were being issued before the lexical
3400 token had been advanced to the token whose value was causing an error...
3401 causing parse warnings to claim the problem is on the wrong token.
3402
3403- Host declarations matching on client identifier for dynamic leases will
3404 no longer match fixed-address host declarations (this is now identical
3405 to behaviour for host records matching on hardware address).
3406
3407 Changes since 3.0.2rc3
3408
3409- A previously undocumented configuration directive, 'local-address',
3410 was documented in the dhcpd.conf manpage.
3411
3412 Changes since 3.0.2rc2
3413
45d545f0 3414- Two variables introduced in 3.0.2b1 were used without being initialized
98311e4b
DH
3415 in the case where neither the FILE nor SNAME fields were available for
3416 overloading. This was repaired.
3417
3418- A heretofore believed to be impossible corner case of the option
3419 overloading implementation turned out to be possible ("Unable to sort
3420 overloaded options after 10 tries."). The implementation was reworked
3421 to consider the case of an option so large it would require more than
3422 three chunks to fit.
3423
3424- Many other instances of variables being used without being initialized
3425 were repaired.
3426
3427- An uninitialized variable in omapi_io_destroy() led to the discovery
3428 that this function may result in orphaned pointers (and hence, a memory
3429 leak).
3430
3431 Changes since 3.0.2rc1
3432
3433- allocate_lease() was rewritten to repair a bug in which the server would
3434 try to allocate an ABANDONED lease when FREE leases were available.
3435
3436 Changes since 3.0.2b1
3437
3438- Some dhcp-eval.5 manpage formatting was repaired.
3439
3440 Changes since 3.0.1
3441
3442- A bug was fixed in the server's 'option overloading' implementation,
3443 where options loaded into the 'file' and 'sname' packet fields were
3444 not aligned precisely as rfc2131 dictates.
3445
3446- The FreeBSD client script was changed to support the case where a domain
3447 name was not provided by the server.
3448
3449- A memory leak in 'omshell' per each command line parsed was
3450 repaired, thanks to a patch from Jarkko Torppa.
3451
3452- Log functions writing to stderr were adjusted to use the STDERR_FILENO
3453 system definition rather than '2'. This is a no-op for 90% of platforms.
3454
3455- One call to trace_write_packet_iov() counted the number of io vectors
3456 incorrectly, causing inconsistent tracefiles. This was fixed.
3457
3458- Some expression parse failure memory leaks were closed.
3459
3460- A host byte order problem in tracefiles was repaired.
3461
3462- Pools configured in DHCPD for failover possessing permission lists that
adb95d23 3463 previously were assumed to not include dynamic bootp clients are now
98311e4b
DH
3464 a little more pessimistic. The result is, dhcpd will nag you about just
3465 about most pools that possess a 'allow' statement with no 'deny' that
3466 would definitely match a dynamic bootp client.
3467
3468- The 'ddns-update-style' configuration warning bit now insists that
3469 the configuration be globally scoped.
3470
3471- Two memory leaks in dhclient were closed thanks to a patch from Felix
3472 Farkas.
3473
3474- Some minor but excellently pedantic documentation errors were fixed
3475 thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
3476
3477- Bugs in operator precedence in executable statements have been repaired
3478 once again. More legal syntaxes should be parsed legally.
3479
3480- Failing to initialize a tracefile for any reason if a tracefile was
3481 specified is now a fatal error. Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
3482
3483- Corrected a bug in which the number of leases transferred as calculated
3484 by the failover primary and sent to peers in POOLRESP responses may be
3485 incorrect. This value is not believed to be used by other failover
3486 implementations, excepting perhaps as logged information.
3487
3488- Corrected a bug in which 'dhcp_failover_send_poolresp()' was in fact
3489 sending POOLREQ messages instead of POOLRESP mesasges. This message
3490 was essentially ignored since failover secondaries effectively do not
3491 respond to POOLREQ messages.
3492
3493- Type definitions for various bitwidths of integers in the sunos5-5
3494 build of ISC DHCP have been fixed. It should compile and run more
3495 easily when built in 64-bit for this platform.
3496
3497- "allow known-clients;" is now a legal syntax, to avoid confusion.
3498
3499- If one dhcp server chooses to 'load balance' a request to its failover
3500 peer, it first checks to see if it believes said peer has a free
3501 lease to allocate before ignoring the DISCOVER.
3502
3503- log() was logging a work buffer, rather than the value returned by
3504 executing the statements configured by the user. In some cases,
3505 the work buffer and the intended results were the same. In some other
3506 cases, they were not. This was fixed thanks to a patch from Gunnar
3507 Fjone and directconnect.no.
3508
3509- Compiler warnings for some string type conversions was fixed, thanks
3510 to Andreas Gustafsson.
3511
3512- The netbsd build environments were simplified to one, in which
3513 -Wconversion is not used, thanks to Andreas Gustafsson.
3514
3515- How randomness in the backoff-cutoff dhclient configuration variable
3516 is implemented was better documented in the manpage, and the behaviour
3517 of dhclient in REQUEST timeout handling was changed to match that of
3518 DISCOVER timeout handling.
3519
3520- Omapi was hardened against clients that pass in null values, thanks
3521 to a patch from Mark Jason Dominus.
3522
3523- A bug was fixed in dhclient that kept it from doing client-side
3524 ddns updates. Thanks to a patch from Andreas Gustafsson, which
3525 underwent some modification after review by Jason Vas Dias.
3526
3527- Failover implementations disconnected due to the network between
3528 them (rather than one of the two shutting down) will now try to
3529 re-establish the failover connection every 5 seconds, rather than
3530 to simply try once and give up until one of them is restarted.
3531 Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from Infoblox, and field testing
3532 by Greger V. Teigre which led to an enhancement to it.
3533
3534- A problem that kept DHCP Failover secondaries from tearing down
3535 ddns records was repaired. Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from
3536 Infoblox.
3537
3538- 64bit pointer sizes are detected properly on FreeBSD now.
3539
3540- A bug was repaired where the DHCP server would leave stale references
3541 to host records on leases it once thought about offering to certain
3542 clients. The result would be to apply host and 'known' scopes to the
3543 wrong clients (possibly denying booting). NOTE: The 'mis-host' patch
3544 that was being circulated as a workaround is not the way this bug was
3545 fixed. If you were a victim of this bug in 3.0.1, you are cautioned
3546 to proceed carefully and see if it fixes your problem.
3547
3548- A bug was repaired in the server's DHCPINFORM handling, where it
3549 tried to divine the client's address from the source packet and
3550 would get it wrong. Thanks to Anshuman Singh Rawat.
3551
3552- A log message was introduced to help illuminate the case where the
3553 server was unable to find a lease to assign to any BOOTP client.
3554 Thanks to Daniel Baker.
3555
3556- A minor dhcpd.conf.5 manpage error was fixed.
3557
3558 Changes since 3.0.1rc14
3559
3560- The global variable 'cur_time' was centralized and is now uniformly of a
3561 type #defined in system-dependent headers. It had previously been defined
3562 in one of many places as a 32-bit value, and this causes mayhem on 64-bit
3563 big endian systems. It probably wasn't too healthy on little endian
3564 systems either.
3565
3566- A printf format string error introduced in rc14 was repaired.
3567
3568- AIX system-dependent header file was altered to only define NO_SNPRINTF
3569 if the condition used to #ifdef in vsnprintf in AIX' header files
3570 is false.
3571
3572- The Alpha/OSF system-dependent header file was altered to define
3573 NO_SNPRINTF on OS revisions older than 4.0G.
3574
3575- omapip/test.c had string.h added to its includes.
3576
3577 Changes since 3.0.1rc13
3578
3579! CAN-2004-0460 - CERT VU#317350: Five stack overflow exploits were closed
3580 in logging messages with excessively long hostnames provided by the
3581 clients. It is highly probable that these could have been used by
3582 attackers to gain arbitrary root access on systems using ISC DHCP 3.0.1
3583 release candidates 12 or 13. Special thanks to Gregory Duchemin for
3584 both finding and solving the problem.
3585
3586! CAN-2004-0461 - CERT VU#654390: Once the above was closed, an opening
45d545f0 3587 in log_*() functions was evidenced, on some specific platforms where
98311e4b
DH
3588 vsnprintf() was not believed to be available and calls were wrapped to
3589 sprintf() instead. Again, credit goes to Gregory Duchemin for finding
3590 the problem. Calls to snprintf() are now linked to a distribution-local
3591 snprintf implementation, only in those cases where the architecture is
3592 not known to provide one (see includes/cf/[arch].h). If you experience
3593 linking problems with snprintf/vsnprintf or 'isc_print_' functions, this
3594 is where to look. This vulnerability did not exist in any previously
3595 published version of ISC DHCP.
3596
3597- Compilation on hpux 11.11 was repaired.
3598
3599- 'The cross-compile bug fix' was backed out.
3600
3601 Changes since 3.0.1rc12
3602
3603- Fixed a bug in omapi lease lookup function, to form the hardware
3604 address for the hash lookup correctly, thanks to a patch from
3605 Richard Hirst.
3606
3607- Fixed a bug where dhcrelay was sending relayed responses back to the
3608 broadcast address, but with the source's unicast mac address. Should
3609 now conform to rfc2131 section 4.1.
3610
3611- Cross-compile bug fix; use $(AR) instead of ar. Thanks to Morten Brorup.
3612
3613- Fixed a crash bug in dhclient where dhcpd servers that do not provide
3614 renewal times results in an FPE. As a side effect, dhclient can now
3615 properly handle 0xFFFFFFFF (-1) expiry times supplied by servers. Thanks
3616 to a patch from Burt Silverman.
3617
3618- The 'ping timeout' debugs from rc12 were removed to -DDEBUG only,
45d545f0 3619 and reformatted to correct a compilation error on Solaris platforms.
98311e4b
DH
3620
3621- A patch was applied which fixes a case where leases read from the
3622 leases database do not properly over-ride previously read leases.
3623
3624- dhcpctl.3 manpage was tweaked.
3625
3626 Changes since 3.0.1rc11
3627
3628- A patch from Steve Campbell was applied with minor modifications to
3629 permit reverse dns PTR record updates with values containing spaces.
3630
3631- A patch from Florian Lohoff was applied with some modifications to
3632 dhcrelay. It now discards packets whose hop count exceeds 10 by default,
3633 and a command-line option (-c) can be used to set this threshold.
3634
3635- A failover bug relating to identifying peers by name length instead of
3636 by name was fixed.
3637
45d545f0 3638- Declaring failover configs within shared-network statements should no
98311e4b
DH
3639 longer result in error.
3640
3641- The -nw command line option to dhclient now works.
3642
3643- Thanks to a patch from Michael Richardson:
3644 - Some problems with long option processing have been fixed.
3645 - Some fixes to minires so that updates of KEY records will work.
3646
3647- contrib/ms2isc was updated by Shu-Min Chang of the Intel Corporation.
3648 see contrib/ms2isc/readme.txt for revision notes.
3649
3650- Dhclient no longer uses shell commands to kill another instance of
3651 itself, it sends the signal directly. Thanks to a patch from Martin
3652 Blapp.
3653
3654- The FreeBSD dhclient-script was changed so that a failure to write to
3655 /etc/resolv.conf does not prematurely end the script. This keeps dhclient
3656 from looping infinitely when this is the case. Thanks to a patch from
3657 Martin Blapp.
3658
3659- A patch from Bill Stephens was applied which resolves a problem with lease
3660 expiry times in failover configurations.
3661
3662- A memory leak in configuration parsing was closed thanks to a patch from
3663 Steve G.
3664
3665- The function which discovers interfaces will now skip non-broadcast or
3666 point-to-point interfaces, thanks to a patch from David Brownlee.
3667
3668- Options not yet known by the dhcpd or dhclient have had their names
3669 changed such that they do not contain # symbols, in case they should ever
3670 appear in a lease file. An option that might have been named "#144" is
3671 now "unknown-144".
3672
3673- Another patch from Bill Stephens which allows the ping-check timeout to
3674 be configured as 'ping-timeout'. Defaults to 1.
3675
3676 Changes since 3.0.1rc10
3677
3678- Potential buffer overflows in minires repaired.
3679
3680- A change to the linux client script to use /bin/bash, since /bin/sh may
3681 not be bash.
3682
3683- Some missing va_end cleanups thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
3684
3685- A correction of boolean parsing syntax validation - some illegal syntaxes
3686 that worked before are now detected and produce errs, some legal syntaxes
3687 that errored before will now work properly.
3688
3689- Some search-and-replace errors that caused some options to change their
3690 names was repaired.
3691
3692- Shu-min Chang of the Intel corporation has contributed a perl script and
3693 module that converts the MS NT4 DHCP configuration to a ISC DHCP3
3694 configuration file.
3695
3696- Applied the remainder of the dhcpctl memory leak patch provided by Bill
3697 Squier at ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
3698
3699- Missing non-optional failover peer configurations will now result in a soft
3700 error rather than a null dereference.
3701
3702 Changes since 3.0.1rc9
3703
3704- A format string was corrected to fix compiler warnings.
3705
3706- A number of spelling corrections were made in the man pages.
3707
3708- The dhclient.conf.5 man page was changed to refer to do-forward-updates
3709 rather than a configuration option that doesn't exist.
3710
3711- A FreeBSD-specific bug in the interface removal handling was fixed.
3712
3713- A Linux-specific Token Ring detection problem was fixed.
3714
3715- Hashes removed from as-yet-unknown agent options, having those options
3716 appear in reality before we know about them will no longer produce
3717 self-corrupting lease databases.
3718
3719- dhclient will use the proper port numbers now when using the -g option.
3720
3721- A order-of-operations bug with 2 match clauses in 1 class statement is
3722 fixed thanks to a patch from Andrew Matheson.
3723
3724- Compilation problems on Solaris were fixed.
3725
3726- Compilation problems when built with DEBUG or DEBUG_PACKET were repaired.
3727
3728- A fix to the dhcp ack process which makes certain group options will be
3729 included in the first DHCPOFFER message was made thanks to a patch from
3730 Ling Gou.
3731
3732- A few memory leaks were repaired thanks to patches from Bill Squier at
3733 ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
3734
3735- A fix for shared-networks that sometimes give clients options for the
3736 wrong subnets (in particular, 'option routers') was applied, thanks to
3737 Ted Lemon for the patch.
3738
3739- Omshell's handling of dotted octets as values was changed such that dots
3740 one after the other produce zero values in the integer string.
3741
3742 Changes since 3.0.1rc8
3743
3744- Fix a format string vulnerability in the server that could lead to a
3745 remote root compromise (discovered by NGSEC Research Team, www.ngsec.com).
3746
3747- Add additional support for NetBSD/sparc64.
3748
3749- Fix a bug in the command-line parsing of the client. Also, resolve
3750 a memory leak.
3751
3752- Add better support for shells other than bash in the Linux client
3753 script.
3754
3755- Various build fixes for modern versions of FreeBSD and Linux.
3756
3757- Fix a bad bounds check when printing binding state names.
3758
3759- Clarify documentation about fixed-address and multiple addresses.
3760
3761- Fix a typo in the authoritative error message.
3762
3763- Make a log entry when we can't write a billing class.
3764
3765- Use conversion targets that are the right size on all architectures.
3766
3767- Increment the hop count when relaying.
3768
3769- Log a message when lease state is changed through OMAPI.
3770
3771- Don't rerun the shared_network when evaluating the pool.
3772
3773- Fix a reversed test in the parser.
3774
3775- Change the type of rbuf_max.
3776
3777- Make FTS_LAST a manifest constant to quiet warnings.
3778
3779 Changes since 3.0.1rc7
3780
3781- Fix two compiler warnings that are generated when compiling on Solaris
3782 with gcc. These stop the build, even though they weren't actually
3783 errors, because we prefer that our builds generate no warnings.
3784
3785 Changes since 3.0.1rc6
3786
3787- Don't allow a lease that's in the EXPIRED, RELEASED or RESET state
3788 to be renewed.
3789
3790- Implement lease stealing for cases where the primary has fewer leases
3791 than the secondary, as called for by the standard.
3792
3793- Add a fudge factor to the lease expiry acceptance code, (suggested
3794 by Kevin Miller of CMU).
3795
3796- Fix a bug in permit_list_match that made it much too willing to say
3797 that two permit lists matched.
3798
3799- Unless DEBUG_DNS_UPDATES is defined, print more user-friendly (and
3800 also more compact) messages about DNS updates.
3801
3802- Fix a bug in generating wire-format domain names for the FQDN option.
3803
3804- Fix a bug where the FQDN option would not be returned if the client
3805 requested it, contrary to the standard.
3806
3807- On Darwin, use the FreeBSD DHCP client script.
3808
3809- On NetBSD/sparc, don't check for casting warnings.
3810
3811- Add a flag in the DHCP client to disable updating the client's A
3812 record when sending an FQDN option indicating that the client is
3813 going to update its A record.
3814
3815- In the client, don't attempt a DNS update until one second after
3816 configuring the new IP address, and if the update times out, keep
3817 trying until a response, positive or negative, is received from the
3818 DNS server.
3819
3820- Fix an uninitialized memory bug in the DHCP client.
3821
3822- Apply some FreeBSD-specific bug fixes suggested by Murray Stokely.
3823
3824- Fix a bug in ns_parserr(), where it was returning the wrong sort
3825 of result code in some cases (suggested by Ben Harris of the
3826 NetBSD project).
3827
3828- Fix a bug in is_identifier(), where it was checking against EOF
3829 instead of the END_OF_FILE token (also suggested by Ben Harris).
3830
3831- Fix a bug where if an option universe contained no options, the
3832 DHCP server could dump core (Walter Steiner).
3833
3834- Fix a bug in the handling of encapsulated options.
3835
3836- Fix a bug that prevented NWIP suboptions from being processed.
3837
3838- Delete the FTS_BOOTP and FTS_RESERVED states and implement them
3839 as modifier flags to the FTS_ACTIVE state, as called for in the
3840 failover protocol standard.
3841
3842- Fix bugs in the pool merging code that resulted in references and
3843 dereferences of null pointers. This bug had no impact unless the
3844 POINTER_DEBUG flag was defined.
3845
3846- In the server, added a do-forward-updates flag that can be used to
3847 disable forward updates in all cases, so that sites that want the
3848 clients to take sole responsibility for updating their A record can
3849 do so.
3850
3851- Make it possible to disable optimization of PTR record updates.
3852
3853 Changes since 3.0.1rc5
3854
3855- Include some new documentation and changes provided by Karl Auer.
3856
3857- Add a workaround for some Lexmark printers that send a double-NUL-
3858 terminated host-name option, which would break DNS updates.
3859
3860- Fix an off-by-one error in the MAC-address checking code for
3861 DHCPRELEASE that was added in 3.0.1rc5.
3862
3863- Fix a bug where client-specific information was not being discarded
3864 from the lease when it expired or was released, resulting in
3865 problems if the lease was reallocated to a different client.
3866
3867- If more than one allocation pool is specified that has the same set
3868 of constraints as another allocation pool on the same shared
3869 network, merge the two pools.
3870
3871- Don't print an error in fallback_discard, since this just causes
3872 confusion and does not appear to be helping to encourage anyone to
3873 fix this bug.
3874
3875 Changes since 3.0.1rc4
3876
3877- Fix a bug that would cause the DHCP server to spin if asked to parse
3878 a certain kind of incorrect statement.
3879
3880- Fix a related bug that would prevent an error from being reported in
3881 the same case.
3882
3883- Additional documentation.
3884
3885- Make sure that the hardware address matches the lease when
3886 processing a DHCPRELEASE message.
3887
3888 Changes since 3.0.1rc3
3889
3890- A minor bug fix in the arguments to a logging function call.
3891- Documentation update for dhcpd.conf.
3892
adbef119 3893 Changes since 3.0.1rc2
98311e4b
DH
3894
3895- Allow the primary to send a POOLREQ message. This isn't what the current
3896 failover draft says to do, so we may have to back it out if I can't get the
3897 authors to relent, but the scheme for balancing that's specified in the
3898 current draft seems needlessly hairy, so I'm floating a trial balloon.
3899 The rc1 code did not implement the method described in the draft either.
3900
adbef119 3901 Changes since 3.0.1rc1
98311e4b
DH
3902
3903- Treat NXDOMAIN and NXRRSET as success when we are trying to delete a
3904 domain or RRSET. This allows the DHCP server to forget about a name
3905 it added to the DNS once it's been removed, even if the DHCP server
3906 wasn't the one that removed it.
3907
3908- Install defaults for failover maximum outstanding updates and maximum
3909 silent time. This prevents problems that might occur if these values
3910 were not configured.
3911
3912- Don't do DDNS deletes if ddns-update-style is none.
3913
3914- Return relay agent information options in DHCPNAK. This prevents DHCPNAK
3915 messages from being dropped when the relay agent information option contains
3916 routing information.
3917
3918- Fix a problem where coming up in recover wouldn't result in an update
3919 request being sent.
3920
3921- Add some more chatty messages when we start a recovery update and when it's
3922 done.
3923
3924- Fix a possible problem where some state might have been left around
3925 after the peer lost contact and regained contact about how many updates
3926 were pending.
3927
3928- Don't nix a lease update because of a lease conflict. This test has
3929 never (as far as I know) prevented a mistake, and it appears to cause
3930 problems with failover.
3931
3932- Add support in rc history code for keeping a selective history, rather
3933 than a history of all references and dereferences. This code is only used
3934 when extensive additional debugging is enabled.
3935
adbef119 3936 Changes since 3.0
98311e4b
DH
3937
3938- Make allocators for hash tables. As a side effect, this fixes a memory
3939 smash in the subclass allocation code.
3940
3941- Fix a small bug in omshell where if you try to close an object when
3942 no object is open, it dumps core.
3943
3944- Fix an obscure coredump that could occur on shutdown.
3945
3946- Fix a bug in the recording of host declaration rubouts in the lease file.
3947
3948- Fix two potential spins in the host deletion code.
3949
3950- Fix a core dump that would happen if an application tried to update
3951 a host object attribute with a null value.
3952
3953 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 12
3954
3955- Fix a memory leak in the evaluation code.
3956
3957- Fix an obscure core dump.
3958
3959- Print a couple of new warnings when parsing the configuration file
3960 when crucial information is left out.
3961
3962- Log "no free leases" as an error.
3963
3964- Documentation updates.
3965
3966 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 11
3967
3968- Always return a subnet selection option if one is sent.
3969
3970- Fix a warning that was being printed because an automatic data
3971 structure wasn't zeroed.
3972
3973- Fix some failover state transitions that were being handled
3974 incorrectly.
3975
3976- When supersede_lease is called on a lease whose end time has already
3977 expired, but for which a state transition has not yet been done, do
3978 a state transition. This fixes the case where if the secondary
3979 allocated a lease to a client and the lease "expired" while the
3980 secondary was in partner-down, no expiry event would actually
3981 happen, so the lease would remain active until the primary was
3982 restarted.
3983
3984 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 10
3985
3986- Fix a bug that was preventing released leases from changing state
3987 in failover-enabled pools.
3988
3989- Fix a core dump in the client identifier finder code (for host
3990 declarations).
3991
3992- Finish fixing a bug where bogus data would sometimes get logged to
3993 the dhclient.leases file because it was opened as descriptor 2.
3994
3995- Fix the Linux dhclient-script according to suggestions made by
3996 several people on the dhcp-client mailing list.
3997
3998- Log successful DNS updates at LOG_INFO, not LOG_ERROR.
3999
4000- Print an error message and refuse to run if a failover peer is
4001 defined but not referenced by any pools.
4002
4003- Correct a confusing error message in failover.
4004

TL
4017 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8 Patchlevel 1
4018
4019- Fix a parsing bug that broke dns updates (both interim and ad-hoc).
4020 This was introduced in rc8pl1 as an unintended result of the memory
4021 leakage fixes that were in pl1.
4022
4023- Fix a long-standing bug where the server would record that an update
4024 had been done for a client with no name, even though no update had
4025 been done, and then when the client's lease expired the deletion of
4026 that nonexistant record would time out because the name was the null
9a111ee8 4027 string.
d758ad8c
TL
4028
4029- Clean up the omshell, dhcpctl and omapi man pages a bit.

TL
4031 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8
4032
4033- Fix a bug that could cause the DHCP server to spin if
4034 one-lease-per-client was enabled.
4035
4036- Fix a bug that was causing core dumps on BSD/os in the presence of
4037 malformed packets.
4038
4039- In partner-down state, don't restrict lease lengths to MCLT.
4040
4041- On the failover secondary, record the MCLT received from the primary
4042 so that if we come up without a connection to the primary we don't
4043 wind up giving out zero-length leases.
4044
4045- Fix some compilation problems on BSD/os.
4046
4047- Fix a bunch of memory leaks.
4048
4049- Fix a couple of bugs in the option printer.
4050
4051- Fix an obscure error reporting bug in the dns update code, and also
4052 make the message clearer when a key algorithm isn't supported.
4053
4054- Fix a bug in the tracing code that prevented trace runs that used
4055 tcp connections from being played back.
4056
4057- Add some additional debugging capability for catching memory leaks
4058 on exit.
4059
4060- Make the client release the lease correctly on shutdown.
4061
4062- Add some configurability to the build system.
4063
4064- Install omshell manual page in man1, not man8.
4065
4066- Craig Gwydir sent in a patch that fixes a long-standing bug in the
4067 DHCP client that could cause core dumps, but that for some reason
4068 hadn't been noticed until now.
4069
4070 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 7
4071
4072- Fix a bug in failover where we weren't sending updates after a
4073 transition from communications-interrupted to normal.
4074
4075- Handle expired/released/reset -> free transition according to the
4076 protocol specification (this works - the other way not only wasn't
4077 conformant, but also didn't work).
4078
4079- Add a control object in both client and server that allows either
4080 daemon to be shut down cleanly.
4081
4082- When writing a lease, if we run out of disk space, shut down the
4083 output file and insist on writing a new one before proceeding.
4084
4085- In the server, if the OMAPI listener port is occupied, keep trying
4086 to get it, rather than simply giving up and exiting.
4087
4088- Support fetching variables from leases and also updating and adding
4089 variables to leases via OMAPI.
4090
4091- If two failover peers have wildly different clocks, refuse to start
4092 doing failover.
4093
4094- Fix a bug in the DNS update code that could cause core dumps when
4095 running on alpha processors.
4096
4097- Fixed a bug in ddns updates for static lease entries, thanks to a
4098 patch from Andrey M Linkevitch.
4099
4100- Add support for Darwin/MacOS X
4101
4102- Install omshell (including new documentation).
4103
4104- Support DNS updates in the client (this is a very obscure feature
4105 that most DHCP client users probably will not be able to use).
4106
4107- Somewhat cleaner status logging in the client.
4108
4109- Make OMAPI key naming syntax compatible with the way keys are
4110 actually named (key names are domain names).
4111
4112- Fix a bug in the lease file writer.
4113
4114- Install DHCP ISC headers in a different place than BIND 9 ISC
4115 headers, to avoid causing trouble in BIND 9 builds.
4116
4117- Don't send updates for attributes on an object when the attributes
4118 haven't changed. Support deleting attributes on remote objects.
4119
4120- Fix a number of bugs in omshell, and add the unset and refresh
4121 statements.
4122
4123- Handle disconnects in OMAPI a little bit more intelligently (so that
4124 the caller gets ECONNRESET instead of EINVAL).
4125
4126- Fix a bunch of bugs in the handling of clients that have existing
4127 leases when the try to renew their leases while failover is
4128 operating.
4129
eaf0b302
TL
4130 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 6
4131
4132- Fix a core dump that could happen when processing a DHCPREQUEST from
4133 a client that had a host declaration that contained both a
4134 fixed-address declaration and a dhcp-client-identifier option
4135 declaration, if the client identifier was longer than nine bytes.
4136
4137- Fix a memory leak that could happen in certain obscure cases when
4138 using omapi to manipulate leases.
4139
4140- Fix some bugs and omissions in omshell.
4141

TL
4142 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 5
4143
4144- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that prevented objects in
4145 chains from having their reference counts decreased on dereference.
4146
4147- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that would prevent object
4148 chains from being freed upon removal of the last reference external
4149 to the chain.
4150
4151- Fix a number of other memory leaks in the OMAPI protocol subsystem.
4152
4153- Add code in the OMAPI protocol handler to trace memory leakage.
4154
4155- Clean up the memory allocation/reference history printer.
4156
98311e4b 4157- Support input of dotted quads and colon-separated hex lists as
eaf0b302

4162- Conditionalize a piece of trace code that wasn't conditional.
4163
4164 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 4
4165
4166- Fix a bug that would prevent leases from being abandoned properly on
4167 DHCPDECLINE.
4168
4169- Fix failover peer OMAPI support.
4170
4171- In failover, correctly handle expiration of leases. Previously,
4172 leases would never be reclaimed because they couldn't make the
4173 transition from EXPIRED to FREE.
4174
4175- Fix some broken failover state transitions.
4176
4177- Documentation fixes.
4178
4179- Take out an unnecessary check in DHCP relay agent information option
4180 stashing code that was preventing REBINDING clients from rebinding.
4181
4182- Prevent failover peers from allocating leases in DHCPREQUEST

4190 case-insensitive.

4196 consistently.
4197
4198- Different SIOCGIFCONF probe code, may "fix" problem on some Linux
4199 systems with the probe not working correctly.

4205- Do lease billing on startup in a way that I *think* will finally do
4206 the billing correctly - the previous method could overbill as a
4207 result of duplicate leases.

4214 Herranz for figuring out the main problem.
4215
4216- Fix some reference counting errors on host entries that were causing
4217 core dumps.
4218

4220 Friedrich.
4221
4222- Fix a bug in lease billing, thanks to Jonas Bulow.
4223
4224 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 2
4225
4226- Change the conditions under which a DHCPRELEASE is actually
4227 committed to be consistent with lease binding states rather than
98311e4b 4228 using the lease end time. This may fix some problems with the
892fe689
TL
4229 billing class code.
4230
4231- Fix a bug where lease updates would fail on Digital Unix (and maybe
4232 others) because malloc was called with a size of zero.
4233
4234- Fix a core dump that happens when the DHCP server can't create its
4235 trace file.

79ea3de8
TL
4239- Fix the dhcp_failover_put_message to not attempt to allocate a
4240 zero-length buffer. Some versions of malloc() fail if you try to
4241 allocate a zero-length buffer, and this was causing problems on,
4242 e.g., Digital Unix.
4243
4244- Fix a case where the failover code was printing an error message
4245 when no error had occurred.
4246
4247- Fix a problem where when a server went down and back up again, the
4248 peer would not see a state transition and so would stay in the
4249 non-communicating state.
4250
4251- Be smart about going into recover_wait.
4252
4253- Fix a problem in the failover implementation where peers would fail
4254 to come into sync if interrupted in the RECOVER state. This could
4255 have been the cause of some problems people have reported recently.
4256
4257- Fix a problem with billing classes where they would not be unbilled
4258 when the client lease expired.
4259
4260- If select fails, figure out which descriptor is bad, and cut it out
4261 of the I/O loop. This prevents a potentially nasty spin. I
4262 haven't heard any report it in a while, but it came up consistently
4263 in testing.
4264
4265- Fix a bug in the relay agent where if you specified interfaces on
4266 the command line, it would fail.
4267
4268- Fix a couple of small bugs in the omapi connection object (no known
4269 user impact).
4270
4271- Add the missing 3.0 Beta 1 lease conversion script.
4272
4273- Read dhcp client script hooks if they exist, rather than only if
4274 they're executable.

4286- There is a known problem with the DHCP server doing failover on
4287 Compaq Alpha systems. This patchlevel is not a release candidate
4288 because of this bug. The bug should be straightforward to fix, so
4289 a new release candidate is expected shortly.

4292 bug, and is not, as far as we know, fixed in this patchlevel.

4297 work, so that failover should now much less fragile.

4316 checked. This may have been causing core dumps.
4317
4318- When parsing the lease file, if a lease declaration includes a
4319 billing class statement, and the lease already has a billing class,
4320 unbill the old class.
4321
4322- When processing failover transactions, where acks will be deferred,
4323 process the state transition immediately.
4324
4325- Don't try to use the new SIOCGIFCONF buffer size detection code on
4326 Linux 2.0, which doesn't provide this functionality.
4327
4328- Apply a patch suggested by Tuan Uong for a problem in dlpi.c.
4329
4330- Fix a problem in using the which command in the configure script.
4331
4332- Fix a parse error in the client when setting up an omapi listener.
4333
4334- Document the -n and -g flags to the client.
4335
4336- Make sure there is always a stdin and stdout on startup. This
4337 prevents shell scripts from accidentally writing error messages into
4338 configuration files that happen to be opened as stderr.
4339
4340- If an interface is removed, the client will now notice that it is
4341 gone rather than spinning. This has only been tested on NetBSD.
4342
4343- The client will attempt to get an address even if it can't create a
4344 lease file.
4345
4346- Don't overwrite tracefiles.

4366 pl19.

4390
4391- Implement omshell, which can be used to do arbitrary things to the
4392 server (in theory). (Damien Neil)
4393
4394- Fix a case where if a client had two different leases the server could
4395 actually dereference the second one when it hadn't been referenced,
4396 leading to memory corruption and a core dump. (James Brister)
4397
4398- Fix a case where a client could request the address of another client's
4399 lease, but find_lease wouldn't detect that the other client had it, and
4400 would attempt to allocate it to the client, resulting in a lease conflict
4401 message.
4402
4403- Fix a case where a client with more than one client identifier could be
4404 given a lease where the hardware address was correct but the client
4405 identifier was not, resulting in a lease conflict message.
4406
98311e4b 4407- Fix a problem where the server could write out a colon-separated
3350f5b7
TL
4408 hex list as a value for a variable, which would then not parse.
4409 The fix is to always write strings as quoted strings, with any
4410 non-printable characters quoted as octal escape sequences. So
4411 a file written the old way still won't work, but new files written
4412 this way will work.
4413

TL
4414- Fix documentation for sending non-standard options.
4415
4416- Use unparsable names for unknown options. WARNING: this will
4417 break any configuration files that use the option-nnn convention.
4418 If you want to continue to use this convention for some options,
4419 please be sure to write a definition, like this:
4420
4421 option option-nnn code nnn = string;
4422
4423 You can use a descriptive name instead of option-nnn if you like.
4424
4425- Fix a problem where we would see a DHCPDISCOVER/DHCPOFFER/
4426 DHCPREQUEST/DHCPACK/DHCPREQUEST/DHCPNAK sequence. This was the
4427 result of a deceptively silly bug in supersede_lease.
4428
4429- Fix client script exit status check, according to a fix supplied by
4430 Hermann Lauer.

TL
4442- Add support for transaction tracing. This allows the state of the
4443 DHCP server on startup, and all the subsequent transactions, to be
4444 recorded in a file which can then be played back to reproduce the
4445 behaviour of the DHCP server. This can be used to quickly
4446 reproduce bugs that cause core dumps or corruption, and also for
4447 tracking down memory leaks.
4448
4449- Incorporate some bug fixes provided by Joost Mulders for the DLPI
4450 package which should clear up problems people have been seeing on
4451 Solaris.
4452
4453- Fix bugs in the handling of options stored as linked lists (agent
4454 options, fqdn options and nwip options) that could cause memory
4455 corruption and core dumps.
4456
4457- Fix a bug in DHCPREQUEST handling that resulted in DHCPNAK messages
4458 not being send in some cases when they were needed.
4459

4461
4462- Make initial failover startup *much* faster. This was researched
4463 and implemented by Damien Neil.

4502
4503- Finish fixing a long-standing bug in the agent options code. This
4504 was causing core dumps and failing to operate correctly - in
4505 particular, agent option stashing wasn't working. Agent option
4506 stashing should now be working, meaning that agent options can be
4507 used in class statements to control address allocation.
4508
4509- Fix up documentation.

4512 significantly in a high-demand situation.

4515
4516- Fix a compile error on some older operating systems.

4518- Add the ability in the client to execute certain statements before
4519 transmitting packets to the server. Handy for debugging; not much
4520 practical use otherwise.

4522- Don't send faked-out giaddr when renewing or bound - again, useful
4523 for debugging.

4531- Work around the Win98 DHCP client, which NUL-terminates the FQDN
4532 option.

4534- Work around Win98 and Win2k clients that will claim they want to do
4535 the update even when they don't have any way to do it.
4536
4537- Fix some log messages that can be printed when failover is operating
4538 that were not printing enough information.
4539
4540- It was possible for a DHCPDISCOVER to get an allocation even when
4541 the state machine said the server shouldn't be responding.
4542
4543- Don't load balance DHCPREQUESTs from clients in RENEWING and
4544 REBINDING, since in RENEWING, if we heard it, it's for us, and in
4545 REBINDING, the client wouldn't have got to REBINDING if its primary
4546 were answering.

4559 decoder that would prevent any key with an 'x' in its base64
4560 representation from working correctly.
4561
4562- Thanks to Chris Cheney and Michael Sanders, we have a fix for the
4563 hang that they both spotted in the DHCP server - when
4564 one-lease-per-client was set, the code to release the "other" lease
4565 could spin.
4566
4567- Fix a problem with alignment of the input buffer in bpf in cases
4568 where two packets arrive in the same bpf read.
4569
4570- Fix a problem where the relay agent would crash if you specified an
4571 interface name on the command line.
4572
4573- Add the ability to conditionalize client behaviour based on the
4574 client state.
4575
4576- Add support for the FQDN option, and added support for a new way of
4577 doing ddns updates (ddns update style interim) that allows more than
4578 one DHCP server to update the DNS for the same network(s). This
4579 was implemented by Damien Neil with some additional functionality
4580 added by Ted Lemon.
4581
4582- Damien added a "log" statement, so that the configuration file can
4583 be made to log debugging information and other information.
4584
4585- Fixed a bug that caused option buffers not to be terminated with an
4586 end option.
4587
4588- Fixed a long-standing bug in the support for option spaces where the
4589 options are stored as an ordered list rather than in a hash table,
4590 which could theoretically result in memory pool corruption.
4591
4592- Prevent hardware declarations with no actual hardware address from
4593 being written as something unparsable, and behave correctly in the
4594 face of a null hardware address on input.
4595
4596- Allow key names to be FQDNs, and qualify the algorithm name if it is
4597 specified unqualified.
4598
4599- Modify the DDNS update code so that it never prints the "resolver
4600 failed" message, but instead says *why* the resolver failed.
4601

4603 RFC.

4646 silently dropped.

4665- Fix a possible DoS attack where a client could cause the checksummer
4666 to dump core. This was a read, not a write, so it shouldn't be
4667 possible to exploit it any further than that.
4668
4669- Implement client- and server-side support for using the Client FQDN
4670 option.
4671
4672- Support for other option spaces in the client has been added. This
4673 means that it is now possible to define a vendor option space on the
4674 client, request options in that space from the server (which must
4675 define the same option space), and then use those options in the
4676 client. This also allows NWIP and Client FQDN options to be used
4677 meaningfully.
4678
4679- Add object initializer support. This means that objects can now be
4680 initialized to something other than all-zeros when allocated, which
4681 makes, e.g., the interface object support code a little more robust.
4682
4683- Fix an off-by-one bug in the host stuffer. This was causing host
4684 deletes not the work, and may also have been causing OMAPI
4685 connections to get dropped. Thanks to James Brister for tracking
4686 this one down!

4734 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 4
4735
4736- Incorporated Peter Marschall's proposed change to array/record
4737 parsing, which allows things like the slp-agent option to be encoded
4738 correctly. Thanks very much to Peter for taking the initiative to
4739 do this, and for doing such a careful job of it (e.g., updating the
4740 comments)!
4741
4742- Added an encoding for the slp-agent option. :')

4751- Fix client script files other than that for NetBSD to actually use
4752 make_resolv_conf as documented in the manual page.
4753
4754- Fix a bug in the packet handling code that could result in a core
4755 dump.
4756
4757- Fix a bug in the bootp code where responses on the local net would
4758 be sent to the wrong MAC address. Thanks to Jerry Schave for
4759 catching this one.

4761 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 3
4762
4763- In the DHCP client, execute client statements prior to using the values
45d545f0 4764 of options, so that the client configuration can overridden, e.g., the
490eb5e7
TL
4765 lease renewal time.
4766
4767- Fix a reference counting error that would result in very reproducible
4768 failures in updates, as well as occasional core dumps, if a zone was
4769 declared without a key.
4770
4771- Fix some Linux 2.0 compilation problems.
4772
4773- Fix a bug in scope evaluation during execution of "on" statements that
4774 caused values not to be recorded on leases.
4775
4776- If the dhcp-max-message-size option is specified in scope, and the
4777 client didn't send this option, use the one specified in scope to
4778 determine the maximum size of the response.

4786 RENEWING client.
4787
4788- Fix a place dhcprequest() where static leases could leak.
4789
4790- Include memory.h in omapip_p.h so that we don't get warnings about

4793 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 1
4794
4795- Notice when SIOCFIGCONF returns more data than fit in the buffer -
4796 allocate a larger buffer, and retry. Thanks to Greg Fausak for
4797 pointing this out.
4798
4799- In the server, if no interfaces were configured, report an error and
4800 exit.
4801
4802- Don't ever record a state of 'startup'.
