0171be2d 5 Release Notes
72c7bd79 6
0171be2d 7 NEW FEATURES
16449d9c 8
5ade3c84 9The major "theme" for ISC DHCP 4.3.x was to update the support for
324257e3
SR
10DHCPv6 to include several of the features that have been available
11for DHCPv4. These include:
37ec5845 12
324257e3
SR
13- Support the use of classes
14
15- Support for on_commit, on_expiry and on_release statements
16
4809ef5c 17- Better logging of address assignments
324257e3
SR
18
19- Support for using DHCPv6 relay options in expressions
20
21This release also adds suppport for the standard DDNS as described in the
22current RFCs as well as enhancing support for dynamically adding and removing
23subclasses via OMAPI.
98bf1607 24

25There are a number of DHCPv6 limitations and features missing in this
26release, which will be addressed in the future:
98bd7ca0 27
01a54c17 28- Only Solaris, Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD are supported.
3a16098f 29
adbef119
DH
30- DHCPv6 includes human-readable text in status code messages, in
31 English. A method to reconfigure or support other languages would
80778e94 32 be preferable.
98bd7ca0
DH
33
34- The "host-identifier" option is limited to a simple token.
35
98bd7ca0 36- The client and server can only operate DHCPv4 or DHCPv6 at a time,
45d545f0 37 not both. To use both protocols simultaneously, two instances of the
6de1f33e 38 relevant daemon are required, one with the '-6' command line option.

45adf35c 55 Changes since 4.3.2b1
4d9b81fc 56
45adf35c 57- Specifying the option, --disable-debug, on the configure script command line
4e1bf548 58 now disables debug features. Prior to this, specifying --disable-debug
112d76f6
TM
59 incorrectly enabled debug features. Thanks to Gustavo Zacarias for reporting
60 the issue.
4e1bf548 61 [ISC-Bugs #37780]
4d9b81fc 62
9a111ee8
TM
63- Unit test execution now uses a path augmented during configuration
64 processing of the --with-atf option to locate ATF runtime tools, atf-run
65 and atf-report. For most installations of ATF, this should alleviate the
66 need to manually include them in the PATH, as was formerly required.
67 If the configure script cannot locate the tools it will emit a warning,
68 informing the user that the tools must be in the PATH when running unit
69 tests.
70 Secondly, please note that "make check" will now exit with a failure status
71 code (non-zero) if one or more unit tests fail. This means that invoking
72 "make check" from an upper level directory will cause the make process to
73 STOP after the first test subdirectory with failed test(s). To force all
74 tests in all subdirectories to run, regardless of individual test outcome,
75 use the command "make -k check".
76 [ISC-Bugs #38619]
77
36e2c224 78 Changes since 4.3.1
906ec9a7 79
71d7e9aa
TM
80- Corrected parser's right brace matching when a statement contains an error.
81 [ISC-Bugs #36021]
82
3ffc07de 83- TSIG-authenticated dynamic DNS updates now support the use of these
267a248d
TM
84 additional algorithms: hmac-sha1, hmac-sha224, hmac-sha256, hmac-sha384,
85 and hmac-sha512
3ffc07de
TM
86 [ISC-Bugs #36947]
87
fa54ba10 88- Added check for invalid failover message type. Thanks to Tobias Stoeckmann
45adf35c 89 working with the OpenBSD project who spotted the issue and provided the
fa54ba10 90 patch.
e1b18c69
TM
91 [ISC-Bugs #36653]
92
fa54ba10 93- Corrected rate limiting checks for bad packet logging. Thanks to Tobias
45adf35c 94 Stoeckmann working with the OpenBSD project who spotted the issue and
fa54ba10 95 provided the patch.
0ce1aa94
TM
96 [ISC-Bugs #36897]
97
3956569b
TM
98- Log statements depicting what files will be used by the server now occur
99 after the configuration file has been processed.
100 [ISC-Bugs #36671]
101
36e2c224 102- Addressed Coverity issues reported as of 07-31-2014:
6444928c 103 [ISC-Bugs #36712] Corrects Coverity reported "high" impact issues.
c7c11ea1 104 [ISC-Bugs #36933] Corrects Coverity reported "medium" impact issues
6444928c
TM
105 [ISC-Bugs #37708] Fixes compilation error in dst_api.c seen in older
106 compilers that was introduced by #36712
906ec9a7 107
2a537542
TM
108- Server now supports a failover split value of 256.
109 [ISC-Bugs] #36664]
110
1dceab6c
SR
111- Remove unneeded error #defines. These defines were included in case
112 external programs required the older versions of the macro. They
113 have been #ifdeffed for now and will be removed at a future date.
114 See site.h for the #define to include them again, but you should
115 switch to using the DHCP_R_* versions instead of the ISC_R_* versions.
116 Also ISC_R_MULTIPLE has been removed as it is also deifned in bind.
117 [ISC-Bugs #37128]
118
bd49432f 119- Added checks in range6 and prefix6 statement parsing to ensure addresses
b3b69c1c
TM
120 are within the declared subnet. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the
121 bug report and patch.
bd49432f 122 [ISC-Bugs #32453]

TM
123 [ISC-Bugs #17766]
124 [ISC-Bugs #18510]
125 [ISC-Bugs #23698]
126 [ISC-Bugs #28883]
127
128- Addressed checksum issues:
129 Added checksum readiness check to Linux packet filtering which eliminates
130 invalid packet drops due to checksum errors when checksum offloading is
131 in use. Based on dhcp-4.2.2-xen-checksum.patch made to the Fedora project.
132 [ISC-Bugs #22806]
133 [ISC-Bugs #15902]
134 [ISC-Bugs #17739]
135 [ISC-Bugs #18010]
136 [ISC-Bugs #22556]
137 [ISC-Bugs #29769]
45adf35c 138 Inbound packets with UDP checksums of 0xffff now validate correctly rather
7ff6ae5a 139 than being dropped.
e046c826
TM
140 [ISC-Bugs #24216]
141 [ISC-Bugs #25587]
142
143- Added the echo-client-id configuration parameter to the server configuration.
144 The server now supports RFC 6842 compliant behavior by setting a new
145 configuration parameter, echo-client-id. When enabled, the server will
146 include the client identifier option (Option code 61) if received, in its
147 responses. The server identifier returned in NAKs (if enabled) will now
148 be the globally defined value (if one) if the server cannot attribute the
149 inbound request to a known subnet.

SR
150 [ISC-Bugs #35958]
151 [ISC-Bugs #32545]
bd49432f 152
0a7e1a8a
TM
153- Added support of the configuration parameter, use-host-decl-names, to
154 BOOTP request handling.
155 [ISC-Bugs #36233]
156
6067cd48
TM
157- Added logic to ignore the signal, SIGPIPE, which ensures write failures
158 will be delivered as errors rather than as SIGPIPE signals on all OSs.
159 Thanks to Marius Tomaschewski from SUSE who reported the issue and provided
160 the patch upon which the fix is based.
161 [ISC-Bugs #32222]
162
21d30347
SR
163- In the failover code, handle the case of communications being interrupted
164 when the servers are dealing with POTENTIAL-CONFLICT. This patch allows
165 the primary to accept the secondary moving from POTENTIAL-CONFLICT to
166 RESOLUTION-INTERRUPTED as well as handling the bind update process better.
167 In addition the code to resend update or update all requests has been
168 modified to send requests more often.
169 [ISC-Bugs #36810]
170 [ISC-Bugs #20352]
171
d9b2a590
TM
172- By default, the server will now choose the value to use in the forward DNS
173 name from the following in order of preference:
174
175 1. FQDN option if provided by the client
176 2. Host name option if provided by the client
177 3. Configured option host-name if defined
178
179 As before, this may be overridden by defining ddns-hostname to the desired
180 value (or expression). In addition, the server logic has been extended to
181 use the value of the host name declaration if use-host-decl-names is enabled
182 and no other value is available.
183 [ISC-Bugs #21323]
184
f3a44c10
TM
185- DNS updates were being attempted when dhcp-cache-threshold enabled the use of
186 the existing lease and the forward DNS name had not changed. This has been
187 corrected.
188 [ISC-Bugs #37368]
189
04daf4fe 190- Corrected an issue which caused dhclient to incorrectly form the result when
45adf35c 191 prepending or appending to the IPv4 domain-search option, received from the
04daf4fe
TM
192 server, when either of the values being combined contain compressed
193 components.
194 [ISC-Bugs #20558]
195
7116a34f
TM
196- Added the server-id-check parameter to the server configuration.
197 This parameter allows run-time control over whether or not a server,
198 participating in failover, verifies the dhcp-server-identifier option in
199 DHCP REQUESTs against the server’s id before processing the request.
200 Formerly, enabling this behavior was done at compilation time through
201 the use of the #define, SERVER_ID_CHECK, which has been removed from site.h
202 The functionality is now only available through the new runtime paramater.
203 [ISC-Bugs #37551]
204
2775bd62
TM
205- During startup, when the server encounters a lease whose binding state is
206 FTS_BACKUP but whose pool has no configured failover peer, it will reset the
207 lease's binding state to FTS_FREE. This allows the leases to be reclaimed
208 by the server after a pool's configuration has changed from failover to
209 standalone. Prior to this such leases would remain stuck in the backup state
210 making them unavailable for assignment. Note this conversion will occur
211 whether or not the server is compiled for failover.
212 [ISC-Bugs #36960]
213
dd9738aa
SR
214- Fixed a small issue in the treatment of hosts in the inform processing
215 that could cause the response to an inform to include information from
216 the wrong scope. The two examples we've heard of are getting subnet
217 instead of group information associated with a host entry, or getting
218 global information instead of subnet if the host entry was built via
433927d3
SR
219 omapi. Thanks to Julien Soula at University of Lille for finding the
220 bug and supplying a patch.
dd9738aa
SR
221 [ISC-Bugs #35712]
222
491bf4a2
SR
223- Avoid calling pool_timer() recursively from supersede_lease(). This could
224 result in leases changing state incorrectly or delaying the running of the
225 leae expiration code.
226 [ISC-Bugs #38002]
227
992dc765
SR
228- Move the check for a PID file and process to be before we rewrite the
229 lease file. This avoids the possibility of starting a second instance
230 of a server which changes the current lease file confusing the first
231 instance. This check is only included if the admin hasn't disabled PID
232 files.
233 [ISC-Bugs #38078]
001b9d53 234 [ISC-Bugs #38143]
992dc765 235
cb8c997e
SR
236- In the client code change the way preferred_life and max_life are printed
237 for environment variables to be unsigned rather than signed.
238 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the bug report and patch.
239 [ISC-Bugs #37084]
240
acbecb2e
TM
241- Modified linux packet handling such that packets received via VLAN are now
242 seen only by the VLAN interface. Prior to this, such packets were seen by
243 both the VLAN interface and its parent (physical) interface, causing the
244 server to respond to both. Note this remains an issue for non-Linux OSs.
245 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the patch.
246 [ISC-Bugs #37415]
247 [ISC-Bugs #37133]
248 [ISC-Bugs #36668]
249 [ISC-Bugs #36652]
250
fb98e02e
TM
251- Log content has been changed to more directly suggest that admins should
252 check for multiple IPv6 clients attempting to use the same DUID when only
253 abandoned addresses are available. Debug level logging will now emit counts
254 of the total number of, in-use, and abandoned addresses in a shared subnet
255 when the server finds no addresses available for a given DUID. Lastly,
256 threshold logging is now automatically disabled for shared subnets whose
257 total number of possible addresses exceeds (2^64)-1.
258 [ISC-Bugs #26376]
259 [ISC-Bugs #38131]
260
1a006ff6
TM
261- Added a global parameter, prefix-length-mode, which may be used to determine
262 how the server uses a non-zero value for prefix-length supplied by clients
263 when soliciting DHCPv6 prefixes. The server supports selection modes of:
264 ignore, prefer, exact, minimum and maximum which are described in detail in
265 the server man pages. The prior behavior of the server was to only offer a
266 prefix whose length exactly matched the prefix-length value requested. If
267 no such prefixes were available, the server returned a status of none
268 available. Note the default mode, "exact", provides this same behavior.
269 [ISC-Bugs #36780]
f48dfdf1 270 [ISC-Bugs #32228]
1a006ff6 271
45adf35c
TM
272- Corrected inconsistencies in dhcrelay's setting the upper interface hop count
273 limit such that it now sets it to 32 when the upstream address is a multicast
274 address per RFC 3315 Section 20. Prior to this if the -u argument preceded
275 the -l argument on the command line or if the same interface was specified
276 for both; the logic to set the hop limit count for the upper interface was
277 skipped. This caused the hop count limit to be set to the default value
278 (typically 1) in the outbound upstream packets.
279 [ISC-Bugs #37426]
280
281
7d9dd306
TM
282 Changes since 4.3.1b1
283
284- Modify the linux and openwrt dhclient scripts to process information
285 from a stateless request. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the
286 bug report and patch.
f542e92b 287 [ISC-Bugs #36102]
7d9dd306 288
29c6b4f1
SR
289- Remove more unused RCSID tags. These weren't noticed in 4.3 as
290 the code isn't used anymore but we remove them here to keep the
291 code consistent across versions.
292 [ISC-Bugs #36451]
293
57187138 294 Changes since 4.3.0
01a44a77 295
5ade3c84 296- Tidy up several small tickets.
38c4774a

00e9af8e
SR
376 this causes the client, server and relay programs to include the PID
377 number in syslog messages.
378 Thanks to Marius Tomaschewski for the suggestion and proto-patch.

380
9279a3d7
SR
381- Add a #define to specify the prefix length used when a client attempts
382 to configure an address. This can be modified by editing includes/site.h.
383 By default it is set to 64. While 128 might be a better choice it would
384 also be a change for currently running systems, so we have left it at 64.
63c8800c 385 [ISC-Bugs #DHCP-2]
9279a3d7 386
79818c93
SR
387- Add a run time option to the client "-df" to allow the administrator to
388 point to a second lease file the client can search for a DUID. This can
389 be used to allow a v4 and a v6 instance of the client to share a DUID.
390 The second file will only be searched if there isn't a DUID in the main
391 lease file and the DUID will be written out to the main lease file.
392 [ISC-Bugs #34886]
393
8a2e40cf
SR
394- Have the client fsync the lease file to avoid lease corruption if the
395 client hibernates or otherwise shuts down.
396 [ISC-Bugs #35894]
397
59a351d6

405
a89fd0cd 406- Add threshold logging functionality. Two new options,
250f7134
SR
407 log-threshold-low and log-threshold-high, indicate to the
408 server if and when it should log an error message as addresses
409 in a pool are used.

6980ae03 443 Changes since 4.2.0 (new features)
51b8a8a0
SR
444
445- If a client renews before 'dhcp-cache-threshold' percent of its lease
446 has elapsed (default 25%), the server will reuse the allocated lease
447 (provide a lease within the currently allocated lease-time) rather
448 than extend or renew the lease. This absolves the server of needing
449 to perform an fsync() operation on the lease database before reply,
450 which improves performance. [ISC-Bugs #22228]
80778e94 451 Updated this patch to support asynchronous DDNS. If the server is
8cd88e20 452 attempting to do DDNS on a lease it should be udpated and written to
4809ef5c 453 disk even if that wouldn't be necessary due to the thresholding.
8cd88e20 454 [ISC-Bugs #26311]
51b8a8a0 455
6980ae03
SR
456- The 'no available billing' log line now also logs the name of the last
457 matching billing class tried before failing to provide a billing.
458 [ISC-Bugs #21759]
459
32e651c4
SR
460- A problem with missing get_hw_addr function when --enable-use-sockets
461 was used is now solved on GNU/Linux, BSD and GNU/Hurd systems. Note
462 that use-sockets feature was not tested on those systems. Client and
463 server code no longer use MAX_PATH constant that is not defined on
3cb6f9bb 464 GNU/Hurd systems. [ISC-Bugs #25979]
32e651c4 465
67418698
SR
466- Add a perl script in the contrib directory, dhcp-lease-list.pl, which
467 can parse v4 lease files and output the lease information in a more
468 human friendly manner. This was written by Christian Hammers with
469 some updates by vom and ISC. This is contributed code and is not
470 supported by ISC; however it may be useful to some users.
471 [ISC-Bugs #20680]
472
a7341359 473- Add support in v6 for on-commit, on-expire and on-release.
4809ef5c 474 [ISC-Bugs #27912]
a7341359 475

SR
476- Add support for using classes with v6.
477 [ISC-Bugs #26510]
478
d7d9c0c7
SR
479- Update the DDNS code to current standards and allow for sharing
480 of DDNS entries between v4 and v6 clients. The new code is used
481 if the ddns-update-style is set to "standard", the older code is
482 still available if ddns-update-style is set to "interim". The
483 oldest DDNS code "ad-hoc" has been removed. Thanks to Thomas Pegeot
484 who submitted a patch for this issue. This patch is based on
485 that work with some modifications.
64fb661c 486 [ISC-Bugs #21139]
1534fff7 487
cde11a4c
SR
488- Add a configuration option to the server to suppress using fsync().
489 Enabling this option will mean that fsync() is never called. This
490 may provide better performance but there is also a risk that a lease
491 will not be properly written to the disk after it has been issued
492 to a client and before the server stops. Using this option is
493 not recommended.
64fb661c 494 [ISC-Bugs #34810]
cde11a4c 495
f88446f1
SR
496- Add some logging statements to indicate when the server is ready
497 to serve. One statement is emitted after the server has finished
498 reading its files and is about to enter the dispatch loop.
499 This is "Server starting service.".
500 The second is emitted when a server determines that both it and
501 its failover peer are in the normal state.
502 This is "failover peer <name>: Both servers normal."
64fb661c 503 [ISC-Bugs #33208]
f88446f1 504
619304cd
SR
505- Add support for accessing options from v6 relays. The v6relay
506 statement allows the administrator to choose which relay to
507 use when searching for an option, see the dhcp-options man page
6b9c9f87
SR
508 for a description. The host-identifier option has also been
509 updated to support the use of relay options, see the dhcpd.conf
619304cd
SR
510 man page for a description.
511 [ISC-Bugs #19598]
512
e54ff84f 513- When doing DDNS if there isn't an appropriate zone statement attempt
80778e94 514 to find a reasonable nameserver via a DNS resolver. This restores
e54ff84f
SR
515 some functionality that was lost in the transition to asynchronous
516 DDNS. Due to the lack of security and increase in fragility of the
517 system when using this feature we strongly recommend the use of
518 appropriate zone statements rather than using this functionality.
519 [ISC-Bugs #30461]
520
61ef216b
SR
521- Add support for specifying the address from which to send
522 DDNS updates on the DHCP server. There are two new options
523 "ddns-local-address4" and "ddns-local-address6" that each take
524 one instance of their respective address types.
525 [ISC-Bugs #34779]
4d079f0e 526
38ee81bd
SR
527- Add ignore-client-uids option in the server. This option causes
528 the server to not record a client's uid in its lease. This
529 violates the specification but may also be useful when a client
530 can dual boot using different client ids but the same mac address.
6b9c9f87 531 Thank you to Brian De Wolf at Cal Poly Pomona for the patch.

fe2ac9e3
SR
540- Extend the hardware expression to look into the lease structure
541 for a hardware address if there is no packet. This allows the
542 server to find the hardware address during on-expiry processing.

SR
556- Manpage entries for the ia-pd and ia-prefix options were updated to
557 reflect support for prefix delegation.
4889a646 558
01a44a77 559- Cleaned up some compiler warnings
7dc4e69c 560
01a44a77
SR
561- An optimization described in the failover protocol draft is now included,
562 which permits a DHCP server operating in communications-interrupted state
563 to 'rewind' a lease to the state most recently transmitted to its peer,
564 greatly increasing a server's endurance in communications-interrupted.
565 This is supported using a new 'rewind state' record on the dhcpd.leases
566 entry for each lease.
c5bc8b1a 567
01a44a77 568- Fix the trace code which was broken by the changes to the DDNS code.
d0a10f6a 569
01a44a77
SR
570- Update the fsync code to work with the changes to the DDNS code. It now
571 uses a timer instead of noticing if there are no more packets to process.
dc9d7b08 572
01a44a77
SR
573- When constructing the DNS name structure from a text string append
574 the root to relative names. This satisfies a requirement in the DNS
575 library that names be absolute instead of relative and prevents DHCP
576 from crashing. [ISC-Bugs #21054]
a24b9f23 577
01a44a77
SR
578- "The LDAP Patch" that has been circulating for some time, written by
579 Brian Masney and S.Kalyanasundraram and maintained for application to
580 the DHCP-4 sources by David Cantrell has been included. Please be
581 advised that these sources were contributed, and do not yet meet the
582 high standards we place on production sources we include by default.
583 As a result, the LDAP features are only included by using a compile-time
584 option which defaults off, and if you enable it you do so under your
585 own recognizance. We will be improving this software over time.
586 [ISC-Bugs #17741]
c5bc8b1a 587

cc17cbc3 590
01a44a77
SR
591! Accept a client id of length 0 while hashing. Previously the server would
592 exit if it attempted to hash a zero length client id, providing attackers
593 with a simple denial of service attack. [ISC-Bugs #21253]

08b2d347 597
01a44a77
SR
598- Modify the exception handling for initial context creation. Previously
599 we would try and clean up before exiting. This could present problems
600 when the cleanup required part of the context that wasn't available. It
601 also didn't do much as we exited afterwards anyway. Now we simply log
602 the error and exit. [ISC-Bugs #21093]
ad4001ce 603
01a44a77
SR
604- A bug was fixed that could cause the DHCPv6 server to advertise/assign a
605 previously allocated (active) lease to a client that has changed subnets,
606 despite being on different shared networks. Dynamic prefixes specifically
607 allocated in shared networks also now are not offered if the client has
608 moved. [ISC-Bugs #21152]
3cb6f9bb 609
01a44a77 610- Add some debugging output for use with the DDNS code. [ISC-Bugs #20916]
f6dc164f 611
01a44a77
SR
612- Fix the trace code to handle timing events better and to truncate a file
613 before using instead of overwriting it. [ISC-Bugs #20969]
4b8251a0 614
01a44a77
SR
615- Modify the determination of the default TTL to use for DDNS updates.
616 The user may still configure the ttl via ddns-ttl. The default for
617 both v4 and v6 is now 1/2 the (preferred) lease time with a limit. The
618 previous defaults (1/2 lease time without a limit for v4 and a default
619 value for v6) may be used by defining USE_OLD_DDNS_TTL in site.h
620 [ISC-Bugs #21126]

SR
622- libisc/libdns is now brought up to version 9.7.1rc1. This corrects
623 three reported flaws in ISC DHCP;
d9b5c150 624

de87ffe3 642
01a44a77
SR
643- 'get-host-names true;' now also works even if 'use-host-decl-names true;'
644 was also configured. The nature of this repair also fixes another
645 error; the host-name supplied by a client is no longer overridden by a
646 reverse lookup of the lease address. Thanks to a patch from Wilco Baan
647 Hofman supplied to us by the Debian package maintenance team.

SR
739- Restore printing of values in omshell to the style pre 21585. For
740 21585 we changed the print routines to always display time values

822- 'dhclient' no longer waits a random interval after first starting up to
823 begin in the INIT state. This conforms to RFC 2131, but elects not to
9a111ee8 824 implement a 'SHOULD' direction in section 4.1. The goal of this change
73c83820 825 is to start up faster. [ISC-Bugs #19660]
9a111ee8
TM
826
827- Added 'initial-delay' parameter that specifies maximum amount of time
828 before client goes to the INIT state. The default value is 0. In previous
829 versions of the code client could wait up to 5 seconds. The old behavior
5d082abd 830 may be restored by using 'initial-delay 5;' in the client config file.

TM
832
833- ICMP ping-check should now sit closer to precisely the number of seconds
834 configured (or default 1), due to making use of the new microsecond
835 scale timer internally to dhcpd. This corrects a bug where the server
836 may immediately timeout an ICMP ping-check if it was made late in the
73c83820 837 current second. [ISC-Bugs #19660]

TM
838
839- The DHCP client will schedule renewal and rebinding events in
840 microseconds if the DHCP server provided a lease-time that would result
841 in sub-1-second timers. This corrects a bug where a 2-second or lower
842 lease-time would cause the DHCP client to enter an infinite loop by
73c83820 843 scheduling renewal at zero seconds. [ISC-Bugs #19660]
5d082abd
TM
844
845- Client lease records are recorded at most once every 15 seconds. This
846 keeps the client from filling the lease database disk quickly on very small
73c83820 847 lease times. [ISC-Bugs #19660]
5d082abd
TM
848
849- To defend against RFC 2131 non-compliant DHCP servers which fail to
850 advertise a lease-time (either mangled, or zero in value) the DHCP
851 client now adds the server to the reject list ACL and returns to INIT
852 state to hopefully find an RFC 2131 compliant server (or retry in INIT
73c83820 853 forever). [ISC-Bugs #19660]

866 configuration parameter, in the case of an agent not covered by a configured
867 subnet the root configuration area is examined. Server now also returns
868 vendor-class-id option, if client sent it. [ISC-Bugs #21094]

1087! Previously the server code was relaxed to allow packets with zero
1088 length client ids to be processed. Under some situations use of
1089 zero length client ids can cause the server to go into an infinite
1090 loop. As such ids are not valid according to RFC 2132 section 9.14
1091 the server no longer accepts them. Client ids with a length of 1
1092 are also invalid but the server still accepts them in order to
1093 minimize disruption. The restriction will likely be tightened in
1094 the future to disallow ids with a length of 1.

SR
1182- Move the dhcpd.conf exmample file to dhcpd.conf.example to avoid
1183 overwriting the dhcpd.conf file when installing a new version of
1184 ISC DHCP. The user will now need to manual copy and edit the
1185 dhcpd.conf file as desired.

0d8c3d6e 1187
01a44a77
SR
1188- Check the status value when trying to read from a connection to
1189 see if it may have been closed. If it appears closed don't try
1190 to read from it again. This avoids a potential busy-wait like
1191 loop when the peer names are mismatched.

d340bc24
DH
1257- Failover port configuration can now be left to defaults (port 647) as
1258 described in the -12 revision of the Failover draft (and assigned by
4b97eaff 1259 IANA). Thanks in part to a patch from David Cantrell at Red Hat.
adbef119 1260
0829d595
DH
1261- If configured, dhclient may now transmit to an anycast MAC address,
1262 rather than using a broadcast address. Thanks to a patch from David
1263 Cantrell at Red Hat.
1264
8a3c1e33
PS
1265- Added client support for setting interface MTU and metric, thanks to
1266 Roy "UberLord" Marples <roy@marples.name>.

a41d7a25
PS
1268- Added client -D option to specify DUID type to send.
1269
9e3eb22a
DH
1270- A new failover configuration parameter has been introduced for those
1271 environments where DHCP servers can be reasonably guaranteed to be
1272 "down" when the failover TCP socket is severed, "auto-partner-down".
1273 This parameter is not generally safe, and by default is disabled, so
1274 please carefully review the documentation of this parameter in the
1275 dhcpd.conf(5) manpage before determining to use it yourself.
1276
33ea4622
DH
1277- Added a configuration function, 'gethostname()', which calls the system
1278 function of the same name and presents the results as a data expression.
1279 This function can be used to incorporate the system level hostname of
1280 the system the DHCP software is operating on in responses or queries (such
1281 as including a failover partner's hostname in a dhcp message or binding
1282 scope, or having a DHCP client send any system hostname in the host-name or
1283 FQDN options by default).
1284
5a671e87
DH
1285- The dhcp-renewal-time and dhcp-rebinding-time options may now be configured
1286 for DHCPv4 operation and used independently of the dhcp-lease-time
1287 calculations. Invalid renew and rebinding times (e.g., greater than the
1288 determined lease time) are omitted.
1289

TM
1290- Processing the DHCP to DNS server transactions in an asyncrhonous fashion,
1291 the DHCP server or client can now continue with its processing while
98bf1607 1292 awaiting replies from the DNS server.
c900c5b2
DH
1293
1294- The 'hardware [ethernet|etc] ...;' parameter in host records has been
1295 extended to attempt to match DHCPv6 clients by the last octets of a
1296 DUID-LL or DUID-LLT provided by the client.

1303
47e6eb82
DH
1304- The notorious 'option <unknown> ... larger than buffer' log line,
1305 which is seen in some malformed DHCP client packets, was modified.
1306 It now logs the universe name, and does not log the length values
1307 (which are bogus corruption read from the packet anyway). It also
1308 carries a hopefully more useful explanation.
1309
159c89d7
EH
1310- Suppress spurious warnings from configure about --datarootdir
1311
1aa0fe5e
DH
1312- A bug was fixed that caused the server not to answer some valid Solicit
1313 and Request packets, if the dynamic range covering any requested addresses
1314 had been deleted from configuration.
1315
cd51403d
SR
1316- Update the code to deal with GCC 4.3. This included two sets of changes.
1317 The first is to the configuration files to include the use of
571c38b0 1318 AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS. The second is to deal with return values that
cd51403d
SR
1319 were being ignored.

1324 free not on its queue' error messages, thanks to a patch from Frode
1325 Nordahl.

70ea9345
PS
1327- Fix a build error in dhcrelay, using older versions of gcc with
1328 dhcpv6 disabled.
1329
8d7dca58 1330- Two uninitialized stack structures are now memset to zero, thanks to a
4b97eaff 1331 patch from David Cantrell at Red Hat.
819186b7 1332
f4534b17
DH
1333- Fixed a cosmetic bug where pretty-printing valid domain-search options would
1334 result in an erroneous error log message ('garbage in format string').
1335
f9453d21
DH
1336- A bug in DLPI packet transmission (Solaris, HP/UX) that caused the server
1337 to stop receiving packets is fixed. The same fix also means that the MAC
1338 address will no longer appear 'bogus' on DLPI-based systems.
1339
1340- A bug in select handling was discovered where the results of one select()
1341 call were discarded, causing the server to process the next select() call
1342 and use more system calls than required. This has been repaired - the
1343 sockets will be handled after the first return from select(), resulting in
1344 fewer system calls.
1345
a3dcc0b1
DH
1346- The update-conflict-detection feature would leave an FQDN updated without
1347 a DHCID (still currently implemented as a TXT RR). This would cause later
1348 expiration or release events to fail to remove the domain name. The feature
1349 now also inserts the client's up to date DHCID record, so records may safely
1350 be removed at expiration or release time. Thanks to a patch submitted by
1351 Christof Chen.
1352
95fd7038
DH
1353- Memory leak in the load_balance_mine() function is fixed. This would
1354 leak ~20-30 octets per DHCPDISCOVER packet while failover was in use
1355 and in normal state.
1356
1357- Various compilation fixes have been included for the memory related
1358 DEBUG #defines in includes/site.h.
1359
8a3c1e33
PS
1360- Fixed Linux client script 'unary operator expected' errors with DHCPv6.
1361
1362- Fixed setting hostname in Linux hosts that require hostname argument
1363 to be double-quoted. Also allow server-provided hostname to
1364 override hostnames 'localhost' and '(none)'.
1365
dedde1ba
DH
1366- Fixed failover reconnection retry code to continue to retry to reconnect
1367 rather than restarting the listener.
1368
a57df74a
DH
1369- Compilation on Solaris with USE_SOCKETS defined in includes/site.h has
1370 been repaired. Other USE_ overrides should work better.
1371
1372- A check for the local flavor of IFNAMSIZ had a broken 'else' condition,
1373 that probably still resulted in the correct behaviour (but wouldn't use
1374 a larger defined value provided by the host OS).
1375
350576c5
DH
1376- Fixed a bug where an OMAPI socket disconnection message would not result
1377 in scheduling a failover reconnection, if the link had not negotiated a
1378 failover connect yet (e.g.: connection refused, asynch socket connect()
1379 timeouts).
1380

DH
1381- A bug was fixed that caused the 'conflict-done' state to fail to be parsed
1382 in failover state records.
1383
8a4e543b
DH
1384! A stack overflow vulnerability was fixed in dhclient that could allow
1385 remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands as root on the system,
1386 or simply terminate the client, by providing an over-long subnet-mask
1b12d999 1387 option. CERT VU#410676 - CVE-2009-0692
8a4e543b 1388
a1308b64
DH
1389- Fixed a bug where relay agent options would never be returned when
1390 processing a DHCPINFORM.
1391
1b12d999
DH
1392- Versions 3.0.x syntax with multiple name->code option definitions is now
1393 supported. Note that, similarly to 3.0.x, for by-code lookups only the
1394 last option definition is used.
1395
d453265f
PS
1396- Fixed a bug where a time difference of greater than 60 seconds between a
1397 failover pair could cause the primary to crash on contact with the
1398 secondary. Thanks to a patch from Steinar Haug.
1399
3e29af1e
PS
1400- Don't look for IPv6 interfaces on Linux when running in DHCPv4 mode.
1401 Thanks to patches from Matthew Newton and David Cantrell.
1402
b8d45c67
DH
1403- Secondary servers in a failover pair will now perform ddns removals if
1404 they had performed ddns updates on a lease that is expiring, or was
1405 released through the primary. As part of the same fix, stale binding scopes
1406 will now be removed if a change in identity of a lease's active client is
1407 detected, rather than simply if a lease is noticed to have expired (which it
1408 may have expired without a failover server noticing in some situations).
1409
583c1c16
DH
1410- A patch supplied by David Cantrell at RedHat was applied that detects
1411 invalid calling parameters given to the ns_name_ntop() function.
1412 Specifically, it detects if the caller passed a pointer and size pair
1413 that causes the pointer to integer-wrap past zero.
1414
e4e3a2ab
DH
1415! Fixed a fenceposting bug when a client had two host records configured,
1416 one using 'uid' and the other using 'hardware ethernet'. CVE-2009-1892
95f5d38c 1417
875e99dc
SR
1418- Fixed the check in the dhcp_interface_signal_handler routine to verify
1419 the existence of the linked signal handler before calling it.
1420
2267da84
DH
1421- Both host and subnet6 configuration groups are now included whether a
1422 fixed-address6 (DHCPv6) is in use or not. Host scoped configuration takes
1423 precedence. This fixes two bugs, one where host scoped configuration
1424 would not be included from a non-fixed-address6 host record, and the equal
1425 and opposite bug where subnet6 scoped configuration would not be used when
571c38b0 1426 over-riding values were not present in a matching fixed-address6 host
2267da84
DH
1427 configuration.
1428
cd3f0b9b
DH
1429- ./configure now checks to ensure the intX_t and u_intX_t types are defined,
1430 correcting a compilation failure when using Sun's compiler.
1431
0493fdca
SR
1432- Modified the handling of a connection to avoid releasing the omapi io
1433 object for the connection while it is still in use. One symptom from
1434 this error was a segfault when a failover secondary attempted to connect
1435 to the failover primary if their clocks were not synchronized.
1436
95bba8b6
SR
1437- Clean up to allow compilation with gcc 2.95.4 on FreeBSD. Remove an
1438 extra semi-colon from common/dns.c and moved setting a variable to NULL
1439 in server/dhcpv6.c to allow the compiler to decide that the variable
9a111ee8 1440 was always properly set.

DH
1447 Changes since 4.1.0a2

1450 successful DHCPDECLINEs to be logged as "not found" rather than
1451 "abandoned".

DH
1455- Some failover debugging #defines have been better defined and some
1456 high frequency messages moved to a deeper debugging symbol.
1457
1458- The CLTT parameter in failover is now only updated by client activity,
1459 and not by failover binding updates (taking on the peer's CLTT).
1460
1461- Failover BNDUPD messages are now discarded if they conflict with an
d7ac7a27 1462 update that has been transmitted, but not acknowledged.
1387545f 1463
399d3dbe
DH
1464- A bug cleaning up unknown-xxx temporary option definitions was fixed.
1465
fbcee149
DH
1466- Delayed-ack is now a compile-time option, compiled out by default.
1467 This feature is simply too experimental for right now, and causes
1468 some problems to some failover installations. We will revisit this
1469 in future releases.
1470
f1672d89
DH
1471- The !inet_pton() call in res_mkupdrec was adjusted to '<= 0' as
1472 inet_pton returns either 1, 0, or -1.
1473
236d3a99
DH
1474- A dhclient-script for MacOS X has been included, which enables
1475 'dhclient -6' support.
1476
efa5e6b9
DH
1477- DDNS removal routines were updated so that the DHCID is not removed until
1478 the client has been deprived of all A and AAAA records (not only the last
1479 one of either of those). This resolves a bug where dual stack clients
1480 would not be able to regain their names after either expiration event.

1508- There is now a default 1/4 of a second scheduled delay between delayed
1509 fsync()'s, it can be configured by the max-ack-delay configuration
1510 parameter.

1526- DHCPv6 vendor-class options (VSIO) are now only sent when they appear
1527 on the DHCPv6 ORO. This resolves a bug where VSIO options were placed
1528 in IA_NA encapsulated options fields.

7d6180be
DH
1546- A bug in subnet6 parsing where options contained in subnet6 clauses would
1547 not be applied to clients addressed within that network was repaired.
1548
1549- When configuring a "subnet {}" or "subnet6 {}" without an explicit
1550 shared-network enclosing it, the DHCP software would synthesize a
1551 shared-network to contain the subnet. However, all configuration
1552 parameters within the subnet more intuitively belong "to any client
1553 on that interface", or rather the synthesized shared-network. So,
1554 when a shared-network is synthesized, it is used to contain the
1555 configuration present inside the subnet {} clause. This means that
1556 the configuration will be valid for all clients on that network, not
1557 just those addressed out of the stated subnet. If you intended the
1558 opposite, the workaround is to explicitly configure an empty
1559 shared-network.
1560
1561- A bug was fixed where Information-Request processing was not sourcing
1562 configured option values.
1563
1564- A warning was added since the DHCPv6 processing software does not yet
1565 support class statements.

1570- The v6 BSD socket method was updated to use a single UDP BSD socket
1571 no matter how many interfaces are involved, differentiating the
1572 interfaces the packets were received on by the interface index supplied
1573 by the OS.
1574
1575- The relay agent no longer listens to the All DHCP Servers Multicast
1576 address.

1579 once for two invocations of vsprintf() variants.

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

763cba6b 1849- Fixed file descriptor leak on listen failure. Thanks to Tom Clark.
e889ded1 1850
237f8d3a 1851- Bug in server configuration parser caused server to get stuck on
9a111ee8 1852 startup for certain bad pool declarations. Thanks to Guillaume
237f8d3a
SK
1853 Knispel for the bug report and fix.

SK
1855- Code cleaned to remove warnings reported by "gcc -Wall".
1856
d00d373a
SK
1857- DHCPv6 is now the default. You can disable DHCPv6 support using the
1858 "--disable-dhcpv6" flag when you run the configure script.
1859
8dfd5744
DH
1860- An internal database inconsistency bug was repaired where the server
1861 would segfault if a client attempted to renew a lease that had been
1862 loaded from persistent storage.
1863
45d545f0 1864- 'request' and 'also request' syntaxes have been added to accommodate
0c20eab3
DH
1865 the DHCPv6 client configuration. 'send dhcp6.oro' is no longer
1866 necessary.
1867
9a111ee8
TM
1868- Bug fixed where configuration file parsing did not work with
1869 zero-length options; this made it impossible to set the
f800f4f6
SK
1870 rapid-commit option.
1871
845e9677
DH
1872- Bogus messages about host records with IPv4 fixed-addresses being of
1873 non-128-bits in length were removed.

SK
1882- Fix for parsing error on some IPv6 addresses.
1883
9b21e73e
SK
1884- Invalid CIDR representation for IPv6 subnets or ranges now checked
1885 for when loading configuration.
1886
8da06bb1

1887- Compilation on HP/UX has been repaired. The changes should generally
1888 apply to any architecture that supplies SIOCGLIFCONF but does not
1889 use 'struct lifconf' structures to pass values.

1891- Two new operators, ~= and ~~, have been integrated to implement
1892 boolean matches by regular expression (such as may be used in
1893 class matching statements). Thanks to a patch by Alexandr S.
1894 Agranovsky, which underwent slight modification.

1898- A bug was fixed in interface discovery wherein an error identifying
1899 a server-configured interface with no IPv4 addresses would SEGV.
76c944da 1900

1901- Fixed a bug in which write_lease() might report a failure incorrectly
1902
af5fa176
EH
1903- Added support for DHCPv6 Release messages

1908- All binaries (client, server, relay) now change directories
1909 to / before going into daemon mode, so as not to hold $CWD open

1925- Corrected some situations where variables might be used without being
1926 initialized.
1927
1928- Silenced several other compiler warnings.
1929
1930- Include the more standard sys/uio.h rather than rely upon other
f66f02cc
DH
1931 header files to include it (fixes a BSD 4.2 compile failure).
1932
1933- Duplicate dhclient-script updates for DHCPv6 to all provided scripts.
a512d11b 1934
4ba58919
DH
1935- DHCPv4 I/O methods that failed to sense hardware address were corrected.
1936
1937- DHCPv4 is now the default (as documented) rather than DHCPv6. The default
1938 was set to DHCPv6 to facilitate ease early development, and forgotten.
1939
1940- Corrected a segmentation violation in DHCPv4 socket processing.
1941
8ea19a71 1942- dhclient will now fork() into the background once it binds to an
45d545f0 1943 IPv6 address, or immediately if the -n flag is supplied.
8ea19a71
DH
1944
1945- -q is now the default behaviour on dhclient, with -d or -v enabling
1946 non-quiet (stderr logging) mode.
1947
2cf8d0bd
DH
1948- Fix documentation of the domain-search atom (quoted, with commas).
1949
1950- Document DHCPv6 options presently in the default table.
1951
fe5b0fdd
DH
1952- Replaced ./configure shellscripting with GNU Autoconf.
1953
98bd7ca0
DH
1954 Changes since 3.1.0 (NEW FEATURES)
1955
1956- DHCPv6 Client and Server protocol support. Use '-6' to run the daemons
1957 as v6-only. Use '-4' to run the daemons as v4-only (default. There is
1958 no support currently for both.
1959
1960- Server support for multiple IA_NA options, containing at most one
1961 IAADDR option.
1962
1963- Client support for one IA_NA option, containing any number of IAADDR
1964 options.
1965
1966- Server support for the DHCPv6 Information-request message.
1967
1968- Inappropriate unicast DHCPv6 messages sent to the server are now
1969 discarded, and this has rearchitected the IO system slightly.
1970
1971- The DHCPv6 server DUID defaults to type 1, is persistently stored in
1972 the leases database, and can be over-ridden (either completely, or by
1973 specifying type 1 or type 2).
1974
1975- The server only uses Rapid-Commit if it has been configured with the
1976 Rapid-Commit option and the client requests it.
1977
1978- DDNS support. We now update AAAA records in the same place we would
1979 update A records, if we have an IPv6 address. We also generate IP6.ARPA
1980 style names for PTR records if we're dealing with an IPv6 address. Both
1981 A and AAAA updates are done using the same 'fqdn.' virtual option space
1982 (although the DHCPv4 FQDN and DHCPv6 FQDN options are formatted
1983 differently, they both use the same code here).
1984
1985- The Linux dhclient-script attempts to set and remove assigned addresses,
1986 and to configure /etc/resolv.conf from nameserver and domain name
1987 configurations. It can be extended to configure other parameters.
1988
1989- Initial DHCPv6 lease support.
1990
1991- The IO system now tracks all local IP addresses, so that the DHCP
1992 applications (particularly the dhcrelay) can discern between what frames
1993 were transmitted to it, and what frames are being carried through it which
1994 it should not intercept.
1995
1418fd11
DH
1996 Changes since 3.1.0 (Maintenance)
1997
1998- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for virgin leases always
1999 mapped to the primary. Virgin leases now have an interleaved preference
2000 between primary and secondary.
2001
2002- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for clients with no client
2003 identifier was sometimes mishashed to the peer. Load balancing during
2004 runtime and pool rebalancing were opposing.
2005
aa3e348e
DH
2006- An assertion in lease counting relating to reserved leases was repaired.
2007
e9c59645
DH
2008- The subnet-mask option inclusion now conforms with RFC2132 section 3.3;
2009 it will only appear prior to the routers option if it is present on the
2010 Parameter-Request-List. The subnet-mask option will also only be
2011 included by default (if it is not on the PRL) in response to DISCOVER
2012 or REQUEST messages.
2013
2014- The FQDN option is only supplied if the client supplied an FQDN option or
2015 if the FQDN option was explicitly requested on the PRL.
2016

DH
2017- Dynamic BOOTP leases are now load balanced in failover.

DH
2019 Changes since 3.1.0rc1
2020
2021- The parse warning that 'deny dyanmic bootp;' must be configured for
2022 failover protected subnets was removed.
2023

DH
2024 Changes since 3.1.0b2
2025
2026- Failover rebalance events no longer play ping pong with round errors
2027 (moving leases between free and back to backup where there are an
2028 odd number of leases).
2029
2030- The 'pool' log line has been split into two messages, one before the
2031 rebalance run, and one after.
2032
2033- Any queued BNDACKs are transmitted before transmitting new BNDUPDs.
2034 This enforces the correct sequence of events for the remote server
2035 processing these messages.

27837f95 2038
74dc3e0b
EH
2039- Fixed a bug that caused OMAPI clients to freeze when opening lease
2040 objects.
2041
1ba87b37
EH
2042- A new server config option "fqdn-reply" specifies whether the server
2043 should send out option 81 (FQDN). Defaults to "on". If set to "off",
2044 the FQDN option is not sent, even if the client requested it. This is
2045 needed because some clients misbehave otherwise. Thanks to Christof Chen
2046 at Allianz.
2047
a58da042
EH
2048- Allow trace output files (-tf option) to be overwritten, rather than
2049 crashing dhcpd if the file already exists
2050
61252edf
EH
2051- A bug was fixed that caused dhcpd to segfault if a pool was declared
2052 outside the scope of a subnet in dhcpd.conf.
2053
27837f95
DH
2054- Some uninitialized values were repaired in dhcpleasequery.c that
2055 caused the server to abort.
2056
4d2eaafb
DH
2057- A new server config option, 'do-reverse-updates', has been added
2058 which causes the server to abstain from performing updates on PTR
2059 records. Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen at Allianz.
2060
06211b40
DH
2061- A bug was repaired in subencapsulation support, where spaces separated
2062 by empty spaces would not get included.
2063
d6614ea2
DH
2064- A bug in dhclient was repaired which caused it to send parameter request
2065 lists of 55 bytes in length no matter how long the declared PRL was.
2066
132d38f2
DH
2067- 'dhcp.c(3953): non-null pointer' has been repaired. This fixes a flaw
2068 wherein the DHCPv4 server may ignore a configured server-identifier.
2069
fc3b9c90
DH
2070- A flaw in failover startup sequences was repaired that sometimes left
2071 the primary DHCP server's pool rebalance schedules unscheduled.
2072
c9feb859
DH
2073- Corrected a flaw that broke encapsulated spaces included due to presence
2074 on the parameter request list.

2083 fatal internal error, "Unable to find server option 49".
2084

DH
2085- A bug was fixed in dhclient rendering the textual output form of the
2086 domain-search option syntax.

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

DH
2530 sensing of 64-bit pointer sizes (only used for establishing an icmp_id),
2531 and corrections to #if operators regarding LINUX_MAJOR should it ever
2532 move to 3.[01].x.
2533
2534- The server now tries harder to survive the condition where it is unable
2535 to open a new lease file to rewrite the lease state database.

2537 Changes since 3.0.3b3
2538
2539- dhclient.conf documentation for interface {} was updated to reflect recent
2540 discussion on the dhcp-hackers mailing list.
2541
2542- In response to reports that the software does not compile on GCC 4.0.0,
2543 -Werror was removed from Makefile.conf for all platforms that used it.
2544 We will address the true problem in a future release; this is a temporary
2545 workaround.
2546
2547 Changes since 3.0.3b2
2548
2549- An error in code changes introduced in 3.0.3b2 was corrected, which caused
2550 static BOOTP clients to receive random addresses.
2551
2552 Changes since 3.0.3b1
2553
2554- A bug was fixed in BOOTPREQUEST handling code wherein stale references to
2555 host records would be left behind on leases that were not allocated to the
2556 client currently booting (eg in the case where the host was denied booting).
2557
2558- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated to be more clear in regards to
2559 multiple host declarations (thanks to Vincent McIntyre). 'Interim' style
2560 dynamic updates were also retouched.
2561
98311e4b
DH
2562 Changes since 3.0.2
2563
2564- A bug was fixed where a server might load balance a DHCP REQUEST to its
45d545f0 2565 peer after already choosing not to load balance the preceding DISCOVER.
98311e4b
DH
2566 The peer cannot allocate the originating server's lease.
2567
2568- In the case where a secondary server lost its stable storage while the
2569 primary was still in communications-interrupted, and came back online,
2570 the lease databases would not be fully transferred to the secondary.
2571 This was due to the secondary errantly sending an extra UPDREQ message
2572 when the primary made its state transition to PARTNER-DOWN known.
2573
2574- The package will now compile cleanly in gcc 3.3 and 3.4. As a side effect,
2575 lease structures will be 9 bytes smaller on all platforms. Thanks to
4b97eaff 2576 Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
2577
2578- Interface discovery code in DISCOVER_UNCONFIGURED mode is now
2579 properly restricted to only detecting broadcast interfaces. Thanks
4b97eaff 2580 to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
2581
2582- decode_udp_ip_header was changed so that the IP address was copied out
2583 to a variable, rather than referenced by a pointer. This enforces 4-byte
2584 alignment of the 32-bit IP address value. Thanks to a patch from Dr.
2585 Peter Poeml.
2586
2587- An incorrect log message was corrected thanks to a patch from
2588 Dr. Peter Poeml.
2589
2590- A bug in DDNS was repaired, where if the server's first DDNS action was
2591 a DDNS removal rather than a DDNS update, the resolver library's
2592 retransmit timer and retry timer was set to the default, implying a
2593 15 second timeout interval. Which is a little excessive in a synchronous,
2594 single-threaded system. In all cases, ISC DHCP should now hold fast to
2595 a 1-second timeout, trying only once.
2596
2597- The siaddr field was being improperly set to the server-identifier when
2598 responding to DHCP messages. RFC2131 clarified the siaddr field as
2599 meaning the 'next server in the bootstrap process', eg a tftp server.
2600 The siaddr field is now left zeroed unless next-server is configured.
2601
2602- mockup_lease() could have returned in an error condition (or in the
2603 condition where no fixed-address was found matching the shared
2604 network) with stale references to a host record. This is probably not
2605 a memory leak since host records generally never die anyway.
2606
2607- A bug was repaired where failover servers would let stale client identifiers
2608 persist on leases that were reallocated to new clients not sending an id.
2609
2610- Binding scopes ("set var = value;") are now removed from leases allocated
2611 by failover peers if the lease had expired. This should help reduce the
2612 number of stale binding scopes on leases.
2613
2614- A small memory leak was closed involving client identifiers larger than
2615 7 bytes, and failover.
2616
2617- Configuring a subnet in dhcpd.conf with a subnet mask of 32 bits might
2618 cause an internal function to overflow heap. Thanks to Jason Vas Dias
4b97eaff 2619 at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
2620
2621- Some inconsistencies in treating numbers that the lexer parsed as 'NUMBER'
2622 or 'NUMBER_OR_NAME' was repaired. Hexadecimal parsing is affected, and
2623 should work better.
2624
2625- In several cases, parse warnings were being issued before the lexical
2626 token had been advanced to the token whose value was causing an error...
2627 causing parse warnings to claim the problem is on the wrong token.
2628
2629- Host declarations matching on client identifier for dynamic leases will
2630 no longer match fixed-address host declarations (this is now identical
2631 to behaviour for host records matching on hardware address).
2632
2633 Changes since 3.0.2rc3
2634
2635- A previously undocumented configuration directive, 'local-address',
2636 was documented in the dhcpd.conf manpage.
2637
2638 Changes since 3.0.2rc2
2639
45d545f0 2640- Two variables introduced in 3.0.2b1 were used without being initialized
98311e4b
DH
2641 in the case where neither the FILE nor SNAME fields were available for
2642 overloading. This was repaired.
2643
2644- A heretofore believed to be impossible corner case of the option
2645 overloading implementation turned out to be possible ("Unable to sort
2646 overloaded options after 10 tries."). The implementation was reworked
2647 to consider the case of an option so large it would require more than
2648 three chunks to fit.
2649
2650- Many other instances of variables being used without being initialized
2651 were repaired.
2652
2653- An uninitialized variable in omapi_io_destroy() led to the discovery
2654 that this function may result in orphaned pointers (and hence, a memory
2655 leak).
2656
2657 Changes since 3.0.2rc1
2658
2659- allocate_lease() was rewritten to repair a bug in which the server would
2660 try to allocate an ABANDONED lease when FREE leases were available.
2661
2662 Changes since 3.0.2b1
2663
2664- Some dhcp-eval.5 manpage formatting was repaired.
2665
2666 Changes since 3.0.1
2667
2668- A bug was fixed in the server's 'option overloading' implementation,
2669 where options loaded into the 'file' and 'sname' packet fields were
2670 not aligned precisely as rfc2131 dictates.
2671
2672- The FreeBSD client script was changed to support the case where a domain
2673 name was not provided by the server.
2674
2675- A memory leak in 'omshell' per each command line parsed was
2676 repaired, thanks to a patch from Jarkko Torppa.
2677
2678- Log functions writing to stderr were adjusted to use the STDERR_FILENO
2679 system definition rather than '2'. This is a no-op for 90% of platforms.
2680
2681- One call to trace_write_packet_iov() counted the number of io vectors
2682 incorrectly, causing inconsistent tracefiles. This was fixed.
2683
2684- Some expression parse failure memory leaks were closed.
2685
2686- A host byte order problem in tracefiles was repaired.
2687
2688- Pools configured in DHCPD for failover possessing permission lists that
2689 previously were assumed to not include dyanmic bootp clients are now
2690 a little more pessimistic. The result is, dhcpd will nag you about just
2691 about most pools that possess a 'allow' statement with no 'deny' that
2692 would definitely match a dynamic bootp client.
2693
2694- The 'ddns-update-style' configuration warning bit now insists that
2695 the configuration be globally scoped.
2696
2697- Two memory leaks in dhclient were closed thanks to a patch from Felix
2698 Farkas.
2699
2700- Some minor but excellently pedantic documentation errors were fixed
2701 thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
2702
2703- Bugs in operator precedence in executable statements have been repaired
2704 once again. More legal syntaxes should be parsed legally.
2705
2706- Failing to initialize a tracefile for any reason if a tracefile was
2707 specified is now a fatal error. Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
2708
2709- Corrected a bug in which the number of leases transferred as calculated
2710 by the failover primary and sent to peers in POOLRESP responses may be
2711 incorrect. This value is not believed to be used by other failover
2712 implementations, excepting perhaps as logged information.
2713
2714- Corrected a bug in which 'dhcp_failover_send_poolresp()' was in fact
2715 sending POOLREQ messages instead of POOLRESP mesasges. This message
2716 was essentially ignored since failover secondaries effectively do not
2717 respond to POOLREQ messages.
2718
2719- Type definitions for various bitwidths of integers in the sunos5-5
2720 build of ISC DHCP have been fixed. It should compile and run more
2721 easily when built in 64-bit for this platform.
2722
2723- "allow known-clients;" is now a legal syntax, to avoid confusion.
2724
2725- If one dhcp server chooses to 'load balance' a request to its failover
2726 peer, it first checks to see if it believes said peer has a free
2727 lease to allocate before ignoring the DISCOVER.
2728
2729- log() was logging a work buffer, rather than the value returned by
2730 executing the statements configured by the user. In some cases,
2731 the work buffer and the intended results were the same. In some other
2732 cases, they were not. This was fixed thanks to a patch from Gunnar
2733 Fjone and directconnect.no.
2734
2735- Compiler warnings for some string type conversions was fixed, thanks
2736 to Andreas Gustafsson.
2737
2738- The netbsd build environments were simplified to one, in which
2739 -Wconversion is not used, thanks to Andreas Gustafsson.
2740
2741- How randomness in the backoff-cutoff dhclient configuration variable
2742 is implemented was better documented in the manpage, and the behaviour
2743 of dhclient in REQUEST timeout handling was changed to match that of
2744 DISCOVER timeout handling.
2745
2746- Omapi was hardened against clients that pass in null values, thanks
2747 to a patch from Mark Jason Dominus.
2748
2749- A bug was fixed in dhclient that kept it from doing client-side
2750 ddns updates. Thanks to a patch from Andreas Gustafsson, which
2751 underwent some modification after review by Jason Vas Dias.
2752
2753- Failover implementations disconnected due to the network between
2754 them (rather than one of the two shutting down) will now try to
2755 re-establish the failover connection every 5 seconds, rather than
2756 to simply try once and give up until one of them is restarted.
2757 Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from Infoblox, and field testing
2758 by Greger V. Teigre which led to an enhancement to it.
2759
2760- A problem that kept DHCP Failover secondaries from tearing down
2761 ddns records was repaired. Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from
2762 Infoblox.
2763
2764- 64bit pointer sizes are detected properly on FreeBSD now.
2765
2766- A bug was repaired where the DHCP server would leave stale references
2767 to host records on leases it once thought about offering to certain
2768 clients. The result would be to apply host and 'known' scopes to the
2769 wrong clients (possibly denying booting). NOTE: The 'mis-host' patch
2770 that was being circulated as a workaround is not the way this bug was
2771 fixed. If you were a victim of this bug in 3.0.1, you are cautioned
2772 to proceed carefully and see if it fixes your problem.
2773
2774- A bug was repaired in the server's DHCPINFORM handling, where it
2775 tried to divine the client's address from the source packet and
2776 would get it wrong. Thanks to Anshuman Singh Rawat.
2777
2778- A log message was introduced to help illuminate the case where the
2779 server was unable to find a lease to assign to any BOOTP client.
2780 Thanks to Daniel Baker.
2781
2782- A minor dhcpd.conf.5 manpage error was fixed.
2783
2784 Changes since 3.0.1rc14
2785
2786- The global variable 'cur_time' was centralized and is now uniformly of a
2787 type #defined in system-dependent headers. It had previously been defined
2788 in one of many places as a 32-bit value, and this causes mayhem on 64-bit
2789 big endian systems. It probably wasn't too healthy on little endian
2790 systems either.
2791
2792- A printf format string error introduced in rc14 was repaired.
2793
2794- AIX system-dependent header file was altered to only define NO_SNPRINTF
2795 if the condition used to #ifdef in vsnprintf in AIX' header files
2796 is false.
2797
2798- The Alpha/OSF system-dependent header file was altered to define
2799 NO_SNPRINTF on OS revisions older than 4.0G.
2800
2801- omapip/test.c had string.h added to its includes.
2802
2803 Changes since 3.0.1rc13
2804
2805! CAN-2004-0460 - CERT VU#317350: Five stack overflow exploits were closed
2806 in logging messages with excessively long hostnames provided by the
2807 clients. It is highly probable that these could have been used by
2808 attackers to gain arbitrary root access on systems using ISC DHCP 3.0.1
2809 release candidates 12 or 13. Special thanks to Gregory Duchemin for
2810 both finding and solving the problem.
2811
2812! CAN-2004-0461 - CERT VU#654390: Once the above was closed, an opening
45d545f0 2813 in log_*() functions was evidenced, on some specific platforms where
98311e4b
DH
2814 vsnprintf() was not believed to be available and calls were wrapped to
2815 sprintf() instead. Again, credit goes to Gregory Duchemin for finding
2816 the problem. Calls to snprintf() are now linked to a distribution-local
2817 snprintf implementation, only in those cases where the architecture is
2818 not known to provide one (see includes/cf/[arch].h). If you experience
2819 linking problems with snprintf/vsnprintf or 'isc_print_' functions, this
2820 is where to look. This vulnerability did not exist in any previously
2821 published version of ISC DHCP.
2822
2823- Compilation on hpux 11.11 was repaired.
2824
2825- 'The cross-compile bug fix' was backed out.
2826
2827 Changes since 3.0.1rc12
2828
2829- Fixed a bug in omapi lease lookup function, to form the hardware
2830 address for the hash lookup correctly, thanks to a patch from
2831 Richard Hirst.
2832
2833- Fixed a bug where dhcrelay was sending relayed responses back to the
2834 broadcast address, but with the source's unicast mac address. Should
2835 now conform to rfc2131 section 4.1.
2836
2837- Cross-compile bug fix; use $(AR) instead of ar. Thanks to Morten Brorup.
2838
2839- Fixed a crash bug in dhclient where dhcpd servers that do not provide
2840 renewal times results in an FPE. As a side effect, dhclient can now
2841 properly handle 0xFFFFFFFF (-1) expiry times supplied by servers. Thanks
2842 to a patch from Burt Silverman.
2843
2844- The 'ping timeout' debugs from rc12 were removed to -DDEBUG only,
45d545f0 2845 and reformatted to correct a compilation error on Solaris platforms.
98311e4b
DH
2846
2847- A patch was applied which fixes a case where leases read from the
2848 leases database do not properly over-ride previously read leases.
2849
2850- dhcpctl.3 manpage was tweaked.
2851
2852 Changes since 3.0.1rc11
2853
2854- A patch from Steve Campbell was applied with minor modifications to
2855 permit reverse dns PTR record updates with values containing spaces.
2856
2857- A patch from Florian Lohoff was applied with some modifications to
2858 dhcrelay. It now discards packets whose hop count exceeds 10 by default,
2859 and a command-line option (-c) can be used to set this threshold.
2860
2861- A failover bug relating to identifying peers by name length instead of
2862 by name was fixed.
2863
45d545f0 2864- Declaring failover configs within shared-network statements should no
98311e4b
DH
2865 longer result in error.
2866
2867- The -nw command line option to dhclient now works.
2868
2869- Thanks to a patch from Michael Richardson:
2870 - Some problems with long option processing have been fixed.
2871 - Some fixes to minires so that updates of KEY records will work.
2872
2873- contrib/ms2isc was updated by Shu-Min Chang of the Intel Corporation.
2874 see contrib/ms2isc/readme.txt for revision notes.
2875
2876- Dhclient no longer uses shell commands to kill another instance of
2877 itself, it sends the signal directly. Thanks to a patch from Martin
2878 Blapp.
2879
2880- The FreeBSD dhclient-script was changed so that a failure to write to
2881 /etc/resolv.conf does not prematurely end the script. This keeps dhclient
2882 from looping infinitely when this is the case. Thanks to a patch from
2883 Martin Blapp.
2884
2885- A patch from Bill Stephens was applied which resolves a problem with lease
2886 expiry times in failover configurations.
2887
2888- A memory leak in configuration parsing was closed thanks to a patch from
2889 Steve G.
2890
2891- The function which discovers interfaces will now skip non-broadcast or
2892 point-to-point interfaces, thanks to a patch from David Brownlee.
2893
2894- Options not yet known by the dhcpd or dhclient have had their names
2895 changed such that they do not contain # symbols, in case they should ever
2896 appear in a lease file. An option that might have been named "#144" is
2897 now "unknown-144".
2898
2899- Another patch from Bill Stephens which allows the ping-check timeout to
2900 be configured as 'ping-timeout'. Defaults to 1.
2901
2902 Changes since 3.0.1rc10
2903
2904- Potential buffer overflows in minires repaired.
2905
2906- A change to the linux client script to use /bin/bash, since /bin/sh may
2907 not be bash.
2908
2909- Some missing va_end cleanups thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
2910
2911- A correction of boolean parsing syntax validation - some illegal syntaxes
2912 that worked before are now detected and produce errs, some legal syntaxes
2913 that errored before will now work properly.
2914
2915- Some search-and-replace errors that caused some options to change their
2916 names was repaired.
2917
2918- Shu-min Chang of the Intel corporation has contributed a perl script and
2919 module that converts the MS NT4 DHCP configuration to a ISC DHCP3
2920 configuration file.
2921
2922- Applied the remainder of the dhcpctl memory leak patch provided by Bill
2923 Squier at ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
2924
2925- Missing non-optional failover peer configurations will now result in a soft
2926 error rather than a null dereference.
2927
2928 Changes since 3.0.1rc9
2929
2930- A format string was corrected to fix compiler warnings.
2931
2932- A number of spelling corrections were made in the man pages.
2933
2934- The dhclient.conf.5 man page was changed to refer to do-forward-updates
2935 rather than a configuration option that doesn't exist.
2936
2937- A FreeBSD-specific bug in the interface removal handling was fixed.
2938
2939- A Linux-specific Token Ring detection problem was fixed.
2940
2941- Hashes removed from as-yet-unknown agent options, having those options
2942 appear in reality before we know about them will no longer produce
2943 self-corrupting lease databases.
2944
2945- dhclient will use the proper port numbers now when using the -g option.
2946
2947- A order-of-operations bug with 2 match clauses in 1 class statement is
2948 fixed thanks to a patch from Andrew Matheson.
2949
2950- Compilation problems on Solaris were fixed.
2951
2952- Compilation problems when built with DEBUG or DEBUG_PACKET were repaired.
2953
2954- A fix to the dhcp ack process which makes certain group options will be
2955 included in the first DHCPOFFER message was made thanks to a patch from
2956 Ling Gou.
2957
2958- A few memory leaks were repaired thanks to patches from Bill Squier at
2959 ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
2960
2961- A fix for shared-networks that sometimes give clients options for the
2962 wrong subnets (in particular, 'option routers') was applied, thanks to
2963 Ted Lemon for the patch.
2964
2965- Omshell's handling of dotted octets as values was changed such that dots
2966 one after the other produce zero values in the integer string.
2967
2968 Changes since 3.0.1rc8
2969
2970- Fix a format string vulnerability in the server that could lead to a
2971 remote root compromise (discovered by NGSEC Research Team, www.ngsec.com).
2972
2973- Add additional support for NetBSD/sparc64.
2974
2975- Fix a bug in the command-line parsing of the client. Also, resolve
2976 a memory leak.
2977
2978- Add better support for shells other than bash in the Linux client
2979 script.
2980
2981- Various build fixes for modern versions of FreeBSD and Linux.
2982
2983- Fix a bad bounds check when printing binding state names.
2984
2985- Clarify documentation about fixed-address and multiple addresses.
2986
2987- Fix a typo in the authoritative error message.
2988
2989- Make a log entry when we can't write a billing class.
2990
2991- Use conversion targets that are the right size on all architectures.
2992
2993- Increment the hop count when relaying.
2994
2995- Log a message when lease state is changed through OMAPI.
2996
2997- Don't rerun the shared_network when evaluating the pool.
2998
2999- Fix a reversed test in the parser.
3000
3001- Change the type of rbuf_max.
3002
3003- Make FTS_LAST a manifest constant to quiet warnings.
3004
3005 Changes since 3.0.1rc7
3006
3007- Fix two compiler warnings that are generated when compiling on Solaris
3008 with gcc. These stop the build, even though they weren't actually
3009 errors, because we prefer that our builds generate no warnings.
3010
3011 Changes since 3.0.1rc6
3012
3013- Don't allow a lease that's in the EXPIRED, RELEASED or RESET state
3014 to be renewed.
3015
3016- Implement lease stealing for cases where the primary has fewer leases
3017 than the secondary, as called for by the standard.
3018
3019- Add a fudge factor to the lease expiry acceptance code, (suggested
3020 by Kevin Miller of CMU).
3021
3022- Fix a bug in permit_list_match that made it much too willing to say
3023 that two permit lists matched.
3024
3025- Unless DEBUG_DNS_UPDATES is defined, print more user-friendly (and
3026 also more compact) messages about DNS updates.
3027
3028- Fix a bug in generating wire-format domain names for the FQDN option.
3029
3030- Fix a bug where the FQDN option would not be returned if the client
3031 requested it, contrary to the standard.
3032
3033- On Darwin, use the FreeBSD DHCP client script.
3034
3035- On NetBSD/sparc, don't check for casting warnings.
3036
3037- Add a flag in the DHCP client to disable updating the client's A
3038 record when sending an FQDN option indicating that the client is
3039 going to update its A record.
3040
3041- In the client, don't attempt a DNS update until one second after
3042 configuring the new IP address, and if the update times out, keep
3043 trying until a response, positive or negative, is received from the
3044 DNS server.
3045
3046- Fix an uninitialized memory bug in the DHCP client.
3047
3048- Apply some FreeBSD-specific bug fixes suggested by Murray Stokely.
3049
3050- Fix a bug in ns_parserr(), where it was returning the wrong sort
3051 of result code in some cases (suggested by Ben Harris of the
3052 NetBSD project).
3053
3054- Fix a bug in is_identifier(), where it was checking against EOF
3055 instead of the END_OF_FILE token (also suggested by Ben Harris).
3056
3057- Fix a bug where if an option universe contained no options, the
3058 DHCP server could dump core (Walter Steiner).
3059
3060- Fix a bug in the handling of encapsulated options.
3061
3062- Fix a bug that prevented NWIP suboptions from being processed.
3063
3064- Delete the FTS_BOOTP and FTS_RESERVED states and implement them
3065 as modifier flags to the FTS_ACTIVE state, as called for in the
3066 failover protocol standard.
3067
3068- Fix bugs in the pool merging code that resulted in references and
3069 dereferences of null pointers. This bug had no impact unless the
3070 POINTER_DEBUG flag was defined.
3071
3072- In the server, added a do-forward-updates flag that can be used to
3073 disable forward updates in all cases, so that sites that want the
3074 clients to take sole responsibility for updating their A record can
3075 do so.
3076
3077- Make it possible to disable optimization of PTR record updates.
3078
3079 Changes since 3.0.1rc5
3080
3081- Include some new documentation and changes provided by Karl Auer.
3082
3083- Add a workaround for some Lexmark printers that send a double-NUL-
3084 terminated host-name option, which would break DNS updates.
3085
3086- Fix an off-by-one error in the MAC-address checking code for
3087 DHCPRELEASE that was added in 3.0.1rc5.
3088
3089- Fix a bug where client-specific information was not being discarded
3090 from the lease when it expired or was released, resulting in
3091 problems if the lease was reallocated to a different client.
3092
3093- If more than one allocation pool is specified that has the same set
3094 of constraints as another allocation pool on the same shared
3095 network, merge the two pools.
3096
3097- Don't print an error in fallback_discard, since this just causes
3098 confusion and does not appear to be helping to encourage anyone to
3099 fix this bug.
3100
3101 Changes since 3.0.1rc4
3102
3103- Fix a bug that would cause the DHCP server to spin if asked to parse
3104 a certain kind of incorrect statement.
3105
3106- Fix a related bug that would prevent an error from being reported in
3107 the same case.
3108
3109- Additional documentation.
3110
3111- Make sure that the hardware address matches the lease when
3112 processing a DHCPRELEASE message.
3113
3114 Changes since 3.0.1rc3
3115
3116- A minor bug fix in the arguments to a logging function call.
3117- Documentation update for dhcpd.conf.
3118
adbef119 3119 Changes since 3.0.1rc2
98311e4b
DH
3120
3121- Allow the primary to send a POOLREQ message. This isn't what the current
3122 failover draft says to do, so we may have to back it out if I can't get the
3123 authors to relent, but the scheme for balancing that's specified in the
3124 current draft seems needlessly hairy, so I'm floating a trial balloon.
3125 The rc1 code did not implement the method described in the draft either.
3126
adbef119 3127 Changes since 3.0.1rc1
98311e4b
DH
3128
3129- Treat NXDOMAIN and NXRRSET as success when we are trying to delete a
3130 domain or RRSET. This allows the DHCP server to forget about a name
3131 it added to the DNS once it's been removed, even if the DHCP server
3132 wasn't the one that removed it.
3133
3134- Install defaults for failover maximum outstanding updates and maximum
3135 silent time. This prevents problems that might occur if these values
3136 were not configured.
3137
3138- Don't do DDNS deletes if ddns-update-style is none.
3139
3140- Return relay agent information options in DHCPNAK. This prevents DHCPNAK
3141 messages from being dropped when the relay agent information option contains
3142 routing information.
3143
3144- Fix a problem where coming up in recover wouldn't result in an update
3145 request being sent.
3146
3147- Add some more chatty messages when we start a recovery update and when it's
3148 done.
3149
3150- Fix a possible problem where some state might have been left around
3151 after the peer lost contact and regained contact about how many updates
3152 were pending.
3153
3154- Don't nix a lease update because of a lease conflict. This test has
3155 never (as far as I know) prevented a mistake, and it appears to cause
3156 problems with failover.
3157
3158- Add support in rc history code for keeping a selective history, rather
3159 than a history of all references and dereferences. This code is only used
3160 when extensive additional debugging is enabled.
3161
adbef119 3162 Changes since 3.0
98311e4b
DH
3163
3164- Make allocators for hash tables. As a side effect, this fixes a memory
3165 smash in the subclass allocation code.
3166
3167- Fix a small bug in omshell where if you try to close an object when
3168 no object is open, it dumps core.
3169
3170- Fix an obscure coredump that could occur on shutdown.
3171
3172- Fix a bug in the recording of host declaration rubouts in the lease file.
3173
3174- Fix two potential spins in the host deletion code.
3175
3176- Fix a core dump that would happen if an application tried to update
3177 a host object attribute with a null value.
3178
3179 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 12
3180
3181- Fix a memory leak in the evaluation code.
3182
3183- Fix an obscure core dump.
3184
3185- Print a couple of new warnings when parsing the configuration file
3186 when crucial information is left out.
3187
3188- Log "no free leases" as an error.
3189
3190- Documentation updates.
3191
3192 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 11
3193
3194- Always return a subnet selection option if one is sent.
3195
3196- Fix a warning that was being printed because an automatic data
3197 structure wasn't zeroed.
3198
3199- Fix some failover state transitions that were being handled
3200 incorrectly.
3201
3202- When supersede_lease is called on a lease whose end time has already
3203 expired, but for which a state transition has not yet been done, do
3204 a state transition. This fixes the case where if the secondary
3205 allocated a lease to a client and the lease "expired" while the
3206 secondary was in partner-down, no expiry event would actually
3207 happen, so the lease would remain active until the primary was
3208 restarted.
3209
3210 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 10
3211
3212- Fix a bug that was preventing released leases from changing state
3213 in failover-enabled pools.
3214
3215- Fix a core dump in the client identifier finder code (for host
3216 declarations).
3217
3218- Finish fixing a bug where bogus data would sometimes get logged to
3219 the dhclient.leases file because it was opened as descriptor 2.
3220
3221- Fix the Linux dhclient-script according to suggestions made by
3222 several people on the dhcp-client mailing list.
3223
3224- Log successful DNS updates at LOG_INFO, not LOG_ERROR.
3225
3226- Print an error message and refuse to run if a failover peer is
3227 defined but not referenced by any pools.
3228
3229- Correct a confusing error message in failover.
3230
eaf0b302

3240
3241- Fix a compilation error on SunOS 4.

d758ad8c
TL
3243 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8 Patchlevel 1
3244
3245- Fix a parsing bug that broke dns updates (both interim and ad-hoc).
3246 This was introduced in rc8pl1 as an unintended result of the memory
3247 leakage fixes that were in pl1.
3248
3249- Fix a long-standing bug where the server would record that an update
3250 had been done for a client with no name, even though no update had
3251 been done, and then when the client's lease expired the deletion of
3252 that nonexistant record would time out because the name was the null
9a111ee8 3253 string.
d758ad8c
TL
3254
3255- Clean up the omshell, dhcpctl and omapi man pages a bit.

TL
3257 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8
3258
3259- Fix a bug that could cause the DHCP server to spin if
3260 one-lease-per-client was enabled.
3261
3262- Fix a bug that was causing core dumps on BSD/os in the presence of
3263 malformed packets.
3264
3265- In partner-down state, don't restrict lease lengths to MCLT.
3266
3267- On the failover secondary, record the MCLT received from the primary
3268 so that if we come up without a connection to the primary we don't
3269 wind up giving out zero-length leases.
3270
3271- Fix some compilation problems on BSD/os.
3272
3273- Fix a bunch of memory leaks.
3274
3275- Fix a couple of bugs in the option printer.
3276
3277- Fix an obscure error reporting bug in the dns update code, and also
3278 make the message clearer when a key algorithm isn't supported.
3279
3280- Fix a bug in the tracing code that prevented trace runs that used
3281 tcp connections from being played back.
3282
3283- Add some additional debugging capability for catching memory leaks
3284 on exit.
3285
3286- Make the client release the lease correctly on shutdown.
3287
3288- Add some configurability to the build system.
3289
3290- Install omshell manual page in man1, not man8.
3291
3292- Craig Gwydir sent in a patch that fixes a long-standing bug in the
3293 DHCP client that could cause core dumps, but that for some reason
3294 hadn't been noticed until now.
3295
3296 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 7
3297
3298- Fix a bug in failover where we weren't sending updates after a
3299 transition from communications-interrupted to normal.
3300
3301- Handle expired/released/reset -> free transition according to the
3302 protocol specification (this works - the other way not only wasn't
3303 conformant, but also didn't work).
3304
3305- Add a control object in both client and server that allows either
3306 daemon to be shut down cleanly.
3307
3308- When writing a lease, if we run out of disk space, shut down the
3309 output file and insist on writing a new one before proceeding.
3310
3311- In the server, if the OMAPI listener port is occupied, keep trying
3312 to get it, rather than simply giving up and exiting.
3313
3314- Support fetching variables from leases and also updating and adding
3315 variables to leases via OMAPI.
3316
3317- If two failover peers have wildly different clocks, refuse to start
3318 doing failover.
3319
3320- Fix a bug in the DNS update code that could cause core dumps when
3321 running on alpha processors.
3322
3323- Fixed a bug in ddns updates for static lease entries, thanks to a
3324 patch from Andrey M Linkevitch.
3325
3326- Add support for Darwin/MacOS X
3327
3328- Install omshell (including new documentation).
3329
3330- Support DNS updates in the client (this is a very obscure feature
3331 that most DHCP client users probably will not be able to use).
3332
3333- Somewhat cleaner status logging in the client.
3334
3335- Make OMAPI key naming syntax compatible with the way keys are
3336 actually named (key names are domain names).
3337
3338- Fix a bug in the lease file writer.
3339
3340- Install DHCP ISC headers in a different place than BIND 9 ISC
3341 headers, to avoid causing trouble in BIND 9 builds.
3342
3343- Don't send updates for attributes on an object when the attributes
3344 haven't changed. Support deleting attributes on remote objects.
3345
3346- Fix a number of bugs in omshell, and add the unset and refresh
3347 statements.
3348
3349- Handle disconnects in OMAPI a little bit more intelligently (so that
3350 the caller gets ECONNRESET instead of EINVAL).
3351
3352- Fix a bunch of bugs in the handling of clients that have existing
3353 leases when the try to renew their leases while failover is
3354 operating.
3355
eaf0b302
TL
3356 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 6
3357
3358- Fix a core dump that could happen when processing a DHCPREQUEST from
3359 a client that had a host declaration that contained both a
3360 fixed-address declaration and a dhcp-client-identifier option
3361 declaration, if the client identifier was longer than nine bytes.
3362
3363- Fix a memory leak that could happen in certain obscure cases when
3364 using omapi to manipulate leases.
3365
3366- Fix some bugs and omissions in omshell.
3367

TL
3368 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 5
3369
3370- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that prevented objects in
3371 chains from having their reference counts decreased on dereference.
3372
3373- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that would prevent object
3374 chains from being freed upon removal of the last reference external
3375 to the chain.
3376
3377- Fix a number of other memory leaks in the OMAPI protocol subsystem.
3378
3379- Add code in the OMAPI protocol handler to trace memory leakage.
3380

3391
3392- Fix a bug that would prevent leases from being abandoned properly on
3393 DHCPDECLINE.
3394
3395- Fix failover peer OMAPI support.
3396
3397- In failover, correctly handle expiration of leases. Previously,
3398 leases would never be reclaimed because they couldn't make the
3399 transition from EXPIRED to FREE.
3400
3401- Fix some broken failover state transitions.
3402
3403- Documentation fixes.
3404
3405- Take out an unnecessary check in DHCP relay agent information option
3406 stashing code that was preventing REBINDING clients from rebinding.
3407
3408- Prevent failover peers from allocating leases in DHCPREQUEST
3409 processing if the lease belongs to the other server.
3410
3411- Record server version in lease file introductory comment.
3412
3413- Correctly report connection errors in OMAPI and failover.
3414
3415- Make authentication signature algorithm name comparisons in OMAPI
3416 case-insensitive.
3417
3418- Fix compile problem on SunOS 4.x
3419
98311e4b 3420- If a signature algorithm is not terminated with '.', terminate it so
eaf0b302
TL
3421 that comparisons between fully-qualified names will work
3422 consistently.
3423
3424- Different SIOCGIFCONF probe code, may "fix" problem on some Linux
3425 systems with the probe not working correctly.
3426
3427- Don't allow user to type omapi key on command line of omshell.

3431- Do lease billing on startup in a way that I *think* will finally do
3432 the billing correctly - the previous method could overbill as a
3433 result of duplicate leases.

3440 Herranz for figuring out the main problem.
3441

3443 core dumps.

3450 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 2
3451
3452- Change the conditions under which a DHCPRELEASE is actually
3453 committed to be consistent with lease binding states rather than
98311e4b 3454 using the lease end time. This may fix some problems with the
892fe689
TL
3455 billing class code.
3456
3457- Fix a bug where lease updates would fail on Digital Unix (and maybe
3458 others) because malloc was called with a size of zero.
3459
3460- Fix a core dump that happens when the DHCP server can't create its
3461 trace file.

79ea3de8 3463 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 1 Patchlevel 1
87784777 3464
79ea3de8
TL
3465- Fix the dhcp_failover_put_message to not attempt to allocate a
3466 zero-length buffer. Some versions of malloc() fail if you try to
3467 allocate a zero-length buffer, and this was causing problems on,
3468 e.g., Digital Unix.
3469
3470- Fix a case where the failover code was printing an error message
3471 when no error had occurred.
3472
3473- Fix a problem where when a server went down and back up again, the
3474 peer would not see a state transition and so would stay in the
3475 non-communicating state.
3476
3477- Be smart about going into recover_wait.
3478
3479- Fix a problem in the failover implementation where peers would fail
3480 to come into sync if interrupted in the RECOVER state. This could
3481 have been the cause of some problems people have reported recently.
3482
3483- Fix a problem with billing classes where they would not be unbilled
3484 when the client lease expired.
3485
3486- If select fails, figure out which descriptor is bad, and cut it out
3487 of the I/O loop. This prevents a potentially nasty spin. I
3488 haven't heard any report it in a while, but it came up consistently
3489 in testing.
3490
3491- Fix a bug in the relay agent where if you specified interfaces on
3492 the command line, it would fail.
3493
3494- Fix a couple of small bugs in the omapi connection object (no known
3495 user impact).
3496
3497- Add the missing 3.0 Beta 1 lease conversion script.
3498
3499- Read dhcp client script hooks if they exist, rather than only if
3500 they're executable.

TL
3512- There is a known problem with the DHCP server doing failover on
3513 Compaq Alpha systems. This patchlevel is not a release candidate
3514 because of this bug. The bug should be straightforward to fix, so
3515 a new release candidate is expected shortly.
3516
3517- There is a known problem in the DDNS update code that is probably a
3518 bug, and is not, as far as we know, fixed in this patchlevel.

3520 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 24

3523 work, so that failover should now much less fragile.
3524
3525- Add some dhcpctl and omapi documentation
3526
3527- Fix compile errors when compiling with unusual predefines.

3540
3541- Fix a bug in the DNS update code where a status code was not being
3542 checked. This may have been causing core dumps.
3543
3544- When parsing the lease file, if a lease declaration includes a
3545 billing class statement, and the lease already has a billing class,
3546 unbill the old class.
3547
3548- When processing failover transactions, where acks will be deferred,
3549 process the state transition immediately.
3550
3551- Don't try to use the new SIOCGIFCONF buffer size detection code on
3552 Linux 2.0, which doesn't provide this functionality.
3553
3554- Apply a patch suggested by Tuan Uong for a problem in dlpi.c.
3555
3556- Fix a problem in using the which command in the configure script.
3557
3558- Fix a parse error in the client when setting up an omapi listener.
3559
3560- Document the -n and -g flags to the client.
3561
3562- Make sure there is always a stdin and stdout on startup. This
3563 prevents shell scripts from accidentally writing error messages into
3564 configuration files that happen to be opened as stderr.
3565
3566- If an interface is removed, the client will now notice that it is
3567 gone rather than spinning. This has only been tested on NetBSD.
3568
3569- The client will attempt to get an address even if it can't create a
3570 lease file.
3571
3572- Don't overwrite tracefiles.

3592 pl19.
3593

3595 previous fix only partially fixed the problem - enough to get it
3596 past the regression test.

3604 DHCPREQUEST.

3616
3617- Implement omshell, which can be used to do arbitrary things to the
3618 server (in theory). (Damien Neil)
3619
3620- Fix a case where if a client had two different leases the server could
3621 actually dereference the second one when it hadn't been referenced,
3622 leading to memory corruption and a core dump. (James Brister)
3623
3624- Fix a case where a client could request the address of another client's
3625 lease, but find_lease wouldn't detect that the other client had it, and
3626 would attempt to allocate it to the client, resulting in a lease conflict
3627 message.
3628
3629- Fix a case where a client with more than one client identifier could be
3630 given a lease where the hardware address was correct but the client
3631 identifier was not, resulting in a lease conflict message.
3632
98311e4b 3633- Fix a problem where the server could write out a colon-separated
3350f5b7
TL
3634 hex list as a value for a variable, which would then not parse.
3635 The fix is to always write strings as quoted strings, with any
3636 non-printable characters quoted as octal escape sequences. So
3637 a file written the old way still won't work, but new files written
3638 this way will work.
3639

TL
3640- Fix documentation for sending non-standard options.
3641
3642- Use unparsable names for unknown options. WARNING: this will
3643 break any configuration files that use the option-nnn convention.
3644 If you want to continue to use this convention for some options,
3645 please be sure to write a definition, like this:
3646
3647 option option-nnn code nnn = string;
3648
3649 You can use a descriptive name instead of option-nnn if you like.
3650
3651- Fix a problem where we would see a DHCPDISCOVER/DHCPOFFER/
3652 DHCPREQUEST/DHCPACK/DHCPREQUEST/DHCPNAK sequence. This was the
3653 result of a deceptively silly bug in supersede_lease.
3654
3655- Fix client script exit status check, according to a fix supplied by
3656 Hermann Lauer.

3659 messages.

TL
3668- Add support for transaction tracing. This allows the state of the
3669 DHCP server on startup, and all the subsequent transactions, to be
3670 recorded in a file which can then be played back to reproduce the
3671 behaviour of the DHCP server. This can be used to quickly
3672 reproduce bugs that cause core dumps or corruption, and also for
3673 tracking down memory leaks.
3674
3675- Incorporate some bug fixes provided by Joost Mulders for the DLPI
3676 package which should clear up problems people have been seeing on
3677 Solaris.
3678
3679- Fix bugs in the handling of options stored as linked lists (agent
3680 options, fqdn options and nwip options) that could cause memory
3681 corruption and core dumps.
3682
3683- Fix a bug in DHCPREQUEST handling that resulted in DHCPNAK messages
3684 not being send in some cases when they were needed.
3685
3686- Make the lease structure somewhat more compact.
3687
3688- Make initial failover startup *much* faster. This was researched
3689 and implemented by Damien Neil.

3691- Add a --version flag to all executables, which prints the program
3692 name and version to standard output.

3728
3729- Finish fixing a long-standing bug in the agent options code. This
3730 was causing core dumps and failing to operate correctly - in
3731 particular, agent option stashing wasn't working. Agent option
3732 stashing should now be working, meaning that agent options can be
3733 used in class statements to control address allocation.
3734
3735- Fix up documentation.
3736

3738 significantly in a high-demand situation.
3739
3740- Add a log-facility configuration parameter.
3741
3742- Fix a compile error on some older operating systems.
3743
3744- Add the ability in the client to execute certain statements before
3745 transmitting packets to the server. Handy for debugging; not much
3746 practical use otherwise.
3747
3748- Don't send faked-out giaddr when renewing or bound - again, useful
3749 for debugging.

3757- Work around the Win98 DHCP client, which NUL-terminates the FQDN
3758 option.

3760- Work around Win98 and Win2k clients that will claim they want to do
3761 the update even when they don't have any way to do it.
3762
3763- Fix some log messages that can be printed when failover is operating
3764 that were not printing enough information.
3765
3766- It was possible for a DHCPDISCOVER to get an allocation even when
3767 the state machine said the server shouldn't be responding.
3768
3769- Don't load balance DHCPREQUESTs from clients in RENEWING and
3770 REBINDING, since in RENEWING, if we heard it, it's for us, and in
3771 REBINDING, the client wouldn't have got to REBINDING if its primary
3772 were answering.

3775 the transition.

3785 decoder that would prevent any key with an 'x' in its base64
3786 representation from working correctly.
3787
3788- Thanks to Chris Cheney and Michael Sanders, we have a fix for the
3789 hang that they both spotted in the DHCP server - when
3790 one-lease-per-client was set, the code to release the "other" lease
3791 could spin.
3792
3793- Fix a problem with alignment of the input buffer in bpf in cases
3794 where two packets arrive in the same bpf read.
3795
3796- Fix a problem where the relay agent would crash if you specified an
3797 interface name on the command line.
3798
3799- Add the ability to conditionalize client behaviour based on the
3800 client state.
3801
3802- Add support for the FQDN option, and added support for a new way of
3803 doing ddns updates (ddns update style interim) that allows more than
3804 one DHCP server to update the DNS for the same network(s). This
3805 was implemented by Damien Neil with some additional functionality
3806 added by Ted Lemon.
3807
3808- Damien added a "log" statement, so that the configuration file can
3809 be made to log debugging information and other information.
3810
3811- Fixed a bug that caused option buffers not to be terminated with an
3812 end option.
3813
3814- Fixed a long-standing bug in the support for option spaces where the
3815 options are stored as an ordered list rather than in a hash table,
3816 which could theoretically result in memory pool corruption.
3817
3818- Prevent hardware declarations with no actual hardware address from
3819 being written as something unparsable, and behave correctly in the
3820 face of a null hardware address on input.
3821
3822- Allow key names to be FQDNs, and qualify the algorithm name if it is
3823 specified unqualified.
3824
3825- Modify the DDNS update code so that it never prints the "resolver
3826 failed" message, but instead says *why* the resolver failed.
3827
3828- Officially support the subnet selection option, which now has an
3829 RFC.
3830

3872 silently dropped.

3891- Fix a possible DoS attack where a client could cause the checksummer
3892 to dump core. This was a read, not a write, so it shouldn't be
3893 possible to exploit it any further than that.
3894
3895- Implement client- and server-side support for using the Client FQDN
3896 option.
3897
3898- Support for other option spaces in the client has been added. This
3899 means that it is now possible to define a vendor option space on the
3900 client, request options in that space from the server (which must
3901 define the same option space), and then use those options in the
3902 client. This also allows NWIP and Client FQDN options to be used
3903 meaningfully.
3904
3905- Add object initializer support. This means that objects can now be
3906 initialized to something other than all-zeros when allocated, which
3907 makes, e.g., the interface object support code a little more robust.
3908
3909- Fix an off-by-one bug in the host stuffer. This was causing host
3910 deletes not the work, and may also have been causing OMAPI
3911 connections to get dropped. Thanks to James Brister for tracking
3912 this one down!
