37ec5845 12
b12d9105 13The areas of focus for ISC DHCP 4.4 were:
397599cb
TM
14
151. Dynamic DNS additions
162. dhclient improvements
173. Support for dynamic shared libraries
18
19Dynamic DNS Improvements:
20
21- We added three new server configuration parameters which influence DDNS
22 conflict resolution:
23
24 1. ddns-dual-stack-mixed-mode - alters DNS conflict resolution behavior
25 to mitigate issues with non-compliant clients in dual stack environments.
26
27 2. ddns-guard-id-must-match - relaxes the DHCID RR client id matching
28 requirement of DNS conflict resolution.
29
30 3. ddns-other-guard-is-dynamic - alters dual-stack-mixed-mode behavior to
31 allow unguarded DNS entries to be overwritten in certain cases
32
33- The server now honors update-static-leases parameter for static DHCPv6
34 hosts.
35
36dhclient Improvements:
37
a804fcc0 38 - We've added three command line parameters to dhclient:
397599cb
TM
39
40 1. --prefix-len-hint - directs dhclient to use the given length as
41 the prefix length hint when requesting prefixes
42
a804fcc0 43 2. --decline-wait-time - instructs the client to wait the given number
397599cb
TM
44 of seconds after declining an IPv4 address before issuing a discover
45
a804fcc0
TM
46 3. --address-prefix-len - specifies the prefix length passed by dhclient
47 into the client script (via the environment variable ip6_prefixlen) with
48 each IPv6 address. We added this parameter because we have changed the
49 default value from 64 to 128 in order to be compliant with RFC3315bis
50 draft (-09, page 64) and RFC5942, Section 4, point 1.
51 **WARNING**: The new default value of 128 may not be backwardly compatible
52 with your environment. If you are operating without a router, such as
7932503f 53 between VMs on a host, you may find they cannot see each other with prefix
a804fcc0
TM
54 length of 128. In such cases, you'll need to either provide routing or use
55 the command line parameter to set the value to 64. Alternatively you may
56 change the default at compile time by setting DHCLIENT_DEFAULT_PREFIX_LEN
57 in includes/site.h.
58
397599cb
TM
59 - dhclient will now generate a DHCPv6 DECLINE message when the client script
60 indicates a DAD failure
61
62Dynamic shared library support:
63
64 Configure script, configure.ac+lt, which supports libtool is now provided
65 with the source tar ball. This script can be used to configure ISC DHCP
9de870cc 66 to build with libtool and thus use dynamic shared libraries.
4ff4053b 67
4aa6129a
TM
68Other Highlights:
69
70 - The server now supports dhcp-cache-threshold for DHCPv6 operations
71 - The server now supports DHPv6 address allocation based on EUI-64 DUIDs
72 - Experimental support for alternate relay port in the both the server
73 and relay for IPv4, IPv6 and 4o6 (see: draft-ietf-dhc-relay-port-10.txt)

cce04313 90 Changes since 4.4.1 (New Features)
a5b21e16
TM
91
92- A new configuration parameter, ping-cltt-secs (v4 operation only), has
93 been added to allow the user to specify the number of seconds that must
94 elapse since CLTT before a ping check is conducted. Prior to this, the
95 value was hard coded at 60 seconds. Please see the server man pages for
96 a more detailed discussion.
97 [ISC-Bugs #36283]
cce04313 98
cb89a691
TM
99- A new configuration parameter, ping-timeout-ms (v4 operation only),
100 has been added that allows the user to specify the amount of time
101 the server waits for a ping-check response in milliseconds rather
102 than in seconds (via ping-timeout). When greater than zero, the value
103 of ping-timeout-ms will override the value of ping-timeout. Thanks
104 to Jay Doran from Bluecat Networks for suggesting this feature.

cce04313
TM
107 Changes since 4.4.1 (Bug Fixes)
108
109- Corrected a misuse of the BIND9 DDNS API which caused DDNS updates to be
110 carried out over TCP rather than UDP. The coding error was exposed by
111 migration to BIND9 9.11. Thanks to Jinmei Tatuya at Infoblox for
112 reporting the issue.
113 [ISC-Bugs #47757]
114
c07eb442
TM
115- Bind9 now defaults to requiring python to build. The Makefile for
116 building Bind9 when bundled with ISC DHCP was modified to turn off
117 this dependency.
b43d8e41 118 [ISC-Bugs #3,!1 git cc35f84943df44dac2499f3e16e8aaba7d54191d]
9ef78585
TM
119
120- Corrected a dual-stack mixed-mode issue that occurs when both
121 ddns-guard-id-must-match and ddns-other-guard-is-dynamic
122 are enabled and that caused the server to incorrectly interpret
123 the presence of a guard record belonging to another client as
124 a case of no guard record at all. Thanks to Fernando Soto
125 from BlueCat Networks for reporting this issue.
cb89a691 126 [ISC-Bugs #1,!2 git 9ef78585440f568da2a2a0093a8c40c49118e292]
c07eb442 127
1c779d3b
TM
128- Corrected a compilation issue that occurred when building without DNS
129 update ability (e.g. by undefining NSUPDATE).
9bb1ce33 130 [ISC-Bugs #16,!9 git ddb508ac083dae4ff83279dd240bad7f73a97b7d]
1c779d3b 131

TM
132- Corrected an issue that was causing the server, when running in
133 DHPCv4 mode, to segfault when class lease limits are reached.

134 Thanks to Peter Nagy at Porion-Digital for reporting the matter
135 and submitting a patch.

cce04313 143 Changes since 4.4.0 (Bug Fixes)
6826003b
TM
144
145- A delayed-ack value of 0 (the default), now correctly disables the delayed
146 feature. A change in 4.4.0 prohibited lease updates marking leases active
147 from be written to the lease file when delayed-ack is 0. This in turn,
148 caused servers to lose active lease assignments upon restart.
149 [ISC-Bugs #47141]
150
197b26f2
TM
151! Option reference count was not correctly decremented in error path
152 when parsing buffer for options. Reported by Felix Wilhelm, Google
153 Security Team.
154 [ISC-Bugs #47140]
c5931725
TM
155 CVE: CVE-2018-5733
156
157! Corrected an issue where large sized 'X/x' format options were causing
158 option handling logic to overwrite memory when expanding them to human
159 readable form. Reported by Felix Wilhelm, Google Security Team.
160 [ISC-Bugs #47139]
161 CVE: CVE-2018-5732
197b26f2 162
d5118758
TM
163- Added use of new Bind9 compatibility header files, that are now necessary
164 to supply type definitions for primitive data types, removed from Bind9
165 proper. Altered util/bind.sh to pull from Bind9 repo on gitlab.
166 [ISC-Bugs #48072]

168
d394b602
TM
169 Changes since 4.4.0b1 (New Features)
170
171- Duplicate address detection when binding to a new IPv6 address was added
172 to the following dhclient scripts: linux,freebsd,netbsd,openbsd, and macos.
173 The scripts will check for DAD errors after binding to a new IPv6 address
174 for at most --dad-wait-time seconds. If a DAD error is detected the script
175 will exit with a value of 3, instructing dhclient to decline the address. If
176 dad-wait-time is zero (the default), DAD error checking is not peformed.
177 [ISC-Bugs 46805]
178
efd3b1e2
TM
179- Support for sending and receiving additional DHCP4 options has been added
180 to both the dhcpd and dhclient. Specifically: option codes 93,94, and 97
181 (RFC 4578); code 150 (RFC 5859); and codes 209,219, and 211 (RFC 5071).
182 Beyond configuring, sending, requesting, and receiving these options neither
183 server nor client apply any additional logic based on their values.
184 Thanks to Peter Lewis for requesting this change.
185 [ISC-Bugs 47062]
186
d638452e
TM
187 Changes since 4.4.0b1 (Bug Fixes)
188
189- Added clarifying text to dhcpd.conf.5 explaining the class match expressions
190 cannot rely on the results of executable statements.
191 [ISC-Bugs #45451]
192
db4e4aa2
TM
193- Fixed a bug which causes dhcpd and dhclient to crash on certain
194 systems when given relative path names for lease or pid files on
195 the command line. Affected systems are those on which the C library
196 function, realpath() does not support a second parameter value of
197 NULL (see manpages for realpath(3)).
198 [ISC-Bugs #46957]
199
b94669fa
TM
200- Fixed a build issue when building with embedded BIND9 under OpenBSD that
201 was causing BIND9 build to not generate dns/enumclass.h and dns/enumtype.h.
202 [ISC-Bugs #46971]
203
de964f22
TM
204- Added <dhcp>/m4/README to the distribution tarball. Some versions of
205 ac_local() treat the absence of the m4 subdirectory as error rather than
206 warning. This was causing the call to autoreconf, necessary for building
207 with libtool, to fail.
208 [ISC-Bugs #47075]
209
4aa6129a 210 Changes since 4.4.0a1 (New Features)
7512d88b 211
4aa6129a
TM
212- Added experimental support for relay port (draft-ietf-dhc-relay-port-10.txt)
213 feature for DHCPv4, DHCPv6 and DHCPv4-over-DHCPv6. Relay port has to be
214 enabled at compile time via --enable-relay-port and is fully backward
215 compatible (i.e. works with previous implementations of servers and relays
216 using the standard ports). A new --rp <relay-port> command line option
217 specifies to dhcrelay an alternate source port for upstream (i.e. toward
218 the server) messages. Thanks to Naiming Shen and Enke Chen of Cisco
219 systems for submitting these patches.
220 [ISC-Bugs #44535]
221
222- Added --release-on-roam to dhcpd server. When enabled and the server detects
223 that a DHCPv6 client (IAID+DUID) has roamed to a new network, it will release
224 the pre-existing leases on the old network and emit a log statement similar
225 to the following:
226
227 "Client: <id> roamed to new network, releasing lease: <address>"
228
229 The server will carry out all of the same steps that would normally occur
230 when a client explicitly releases a lease. This behavior is disabled by
231 default and may only be specified globally. Prior to this the server renders
232 the leases unavailable until they expire or the server is restarted. Clients
233 that need leases in multiple networks must supply a unique IAID in each IA.
234 When release-on-roam is disabled (the default) the server maintains the
235 prior behavior of making such leases unavailable until they expire or the
236 server is restarted. Clients that need leases in multiple networks must
237 supply a unique IAID in each IA. This parameter may only be specified at
238 the global level. Thanks to Fernando Soto from BlueCat Networks for
239 suggesting this change.
240 [ISC-Bugs #44576]
241 [ISC-Bugs #46849]
242
243- Support for delayed-ack is now compiled in by default. Prior to this
244 it had to be enabled at compile time via --enable-delayed-acks. The
245 default value for delayed-ack, however, has been changed from 28 to 0
246 (i.e. disabled). This was done to minimize the impact on users not
247 currently using the feature. Please note that the delayed-ack feature
248 is not currently compatible with support for DHPCv4-over-DHCPv6 so
249 when a 4to6 port command line argument enables this in the server the
250 delayed-ack value is reset to 0.
251 [ISC-Bugs #42446]
252
253- The server (-6) now honors the parameter, update-static-leases, for static
254 (fixed-address6) DHCPv6 leases. It is worth noting that because stateful
255 data is not retained by the server for static leases, each time a client
256 requests or renews a static lease, the server will perform DDNS updates for
257 it. This may have significant performance implications for environments
258 with many clients that request or renew static leases often. Similarly,
259 the DNS entries will not be removed by server when a client issues a RELEASE
260 nor if the lease is deleted from the configuration. In such cases the DNS
261 entries must be removed manually. This feature is disabled by default.
262 Thanks to both Bill Shirley and dgutier-at-cern-dot-ch for requesting
263 this change.
264 [ISC-Bugs #34097]
265 [ISC-Bugs #41054]
266 [ISC-Bugs #41450]
267
268- Added to the server (-6) a new statement, local-address6, which specifies
269 the source address of packets sent by the server. An additional flag,
270 bind-local-address6, disabled by default, binds the service socket to
271 to local-address6. Note that bind-local-address does not work with direct
272 clients: a relay has to forward packets to the server using the
273 local-address6 destination.
274 [ISC-Bugs #46084]
275
276 Changes since 4.4.0a1 (Bugs)
277
278- The server now recognizes environment variables PATH_DHCPD_DB and
279 PATH_DHCPD_PID. These had been incorrectly compiled out of the code
280 unless DHCPv6 support was disabled. Additionally, the server man
281 pages were corrected to accurately reflect how the server chooses
282 file names (see lease-file-name and pid-file-name statements). Thanks
7932503f
TM
283 to Fernando Soto at Bluecat Networks for bringing this matter to our
284 attention.
4aa6129a
TM
285 [ISC-Bugs #46859]
286
287- Removed an "Impossible condition" error upon exit in the dhcpd server that
288 has been shutdown via OMAPI. This condition was only apparent under Solaris
289 when building with --enable-use-sockets and --enable-ipv4-pktinfo.
290 [ISC-Bugs #36118]
291
65eed5c1 292- Corrected some minor Coverity issues: CID 1426059, 1426058, and 1426057.
4aa6129a
TM
293 [ISC-Bugs #46836]
294
295- Added missing text to dhclient.8 and expanded release note coverage
296 for --address-prefix-len changes.
7512d88b 297
0e76cb91 298 Changes since 4.3.6 (New Features)
3210786b 299
f9741514
FD
300- Added --enable-bind-install to install embedded bind includes and
301 libraries. Default is to not install them (it was the previous
302 behavior). If you'd like to change the includedir and/or libdir
5a67b030
FD
303 installation directories to something different than for ISC DHCP
304 you must pass them using the --with-bind-extra-config configuration
305 arguments.
f9741514
FD
306 [ISC-Bugs #39318]
307
007ba82a
FD
308- Added support of dynamic shared libraries with libtool. A new
309 --enable-libtool configuration parameter is available but
310 should not be used directly: *please* read the build configuration
311 section in the README file for the recommended procedure.
312 [ISC-Bugs #29402]
313
417b7b4a
TM
314- IPv6 operation now supports an EUI-64 based address allocation which will
315 calculate addresses for clients with EUI-64 DUIDs based on those DUIDs when
316 enabled by setting use-eui-64 true. The parameter may defined down to the
317 pool scope. Note this feature must be compiled in by defining EUI_64 in
318 includes/site.h. This flag is undefined by default.
319 [ISC-Bugs #43927]
320
b3e6fd51
TM
321- The directory includes/isc-dhcp and it's only occupant, dst.h, have
322 been removed from the source tree. They are obsolete for branches
323 other than v4_1_esv.
324 [ISC-bugs #45541]
325
7512d88b
TM
326- Replaced ISC licensing with Mozilla Public License, MPL 2.0 licensing
327 throughout. Please see https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/MPL/2.0/ to read
328 the MPL 2.0 license terms.
329 [ISC-Bugs #45541]
330
3e985dbf
TM
331- Load balancing for failover peers can now be disabled by setting
332 "load balance max secs" to 0. Doing so for both peers means both
333 servers will respond to all DHCPDISCOVERs or DHCPREQUESTs as soon as
334 they are received.
335 [ISC-Bugs #39669]
336
c0e9661e
TM
337- Added a new dhclient command line parameter, --prefix-len-hint <length>.
338 When used in conjunction with -P, it directs dhclient to use the given
d8805cee
TM
339 length as the prefix length hint when requesting prefixes. Thanks to both
340 Indy, of the FireballISO open source project and H. Peter Anvin for
341 suggesting this change.

344 [ISC-Bugs #32228]
345 [ISC-Bugs #29470]
3e88222f
TM
346
347- dhclient will now wait for 10 seconds after declining an IPv4 address
348 before issuing a discover. This is in keeping with RFC 2131, section 3.1.5.
349 Prior to this dhclient did not wait at all. The amount of time dhclient
350 waits can be specified via a new command line parameter:
351 --decline-wait-time <seconds>. A value of zero equates to no wait at all.
ecf9f77b 352 Thanks to Pavel Kankovsky for bringing this matter to our attention.
9de870cc 353 **NOTE: THIS IS CHANGE IN DEFAULT BEHAVIOR.
3e88222f 354 [ISC-Bugs #45457]
c0e9661e 355
35e86889
TM
356- dhclient will now include the lease address when logging DHCPOFFERs,
357 DHCPREQUESTs, DHCPACKs, DHCPRELEASEs, and DHCPDECLINEs. Additionally,
358 DHCPOFFERs will be logged before their corresponding DHCPREQUESTs are
359 sent and logged.
360 [ISC-Bugs #2729]
361
d6057334
TM
362- When given the -T command line argument, in addition to reading the
363 current lease file, the server will write the leases to a temporary
364 lease file. This can help detect issues in server configuration that
365 only surface when leases are written to the file. The current lease
366 file will not be modified and the temporary lease file is removed upon
367 completion of the test.
368 [ISC-Bugs #22267]
369
0f69ff73
TM
370- dhclient will now generate a DHCPv6 DECLINE message containing all IA_NA
371 addresses which for which the client script indicates a DAD failure. After
372 receiving the DECLINE reply, dhclient will restart the solicit process.
373 Note, the client script must exit with a value of 3 to signify that the
374 address failed DAD. Thanks to Jiri Popelka of Red Hat for submitting the
375 patch that was the foundation for this change.

f0f3555e 379 [ISC-Bugs #36966]
0f69ff73 380
30593241
TM
381- Replaced compilation option, enable-secs-byteorder, with a run-time, server
382 configuration parameter, check-secs-byte-order. When enabled, the
383 server will check for clients that do the byte ordering on the secs field
384 incorrectly. This field should be in network byte order but some clients
385 get it wrong. When this parameter is enabled the server will examine the
386 secs field and if it looks wrong (high byte non zero and low byte zero) swap
387 the bytes. The default is disabled. This parameter is only useful when
388 doing load balancing within failover.
389 [ISC-Bugs #45364]
390
b53ba157
TM
391- The default value for server (-6) parameter, prefix-length-mode, has been
392 changed from "exact" to "prefer". In "prefer" mode the server will offer
393 the first available prefix with the same length as that requested by the
394 client. If none are found then it will offer the first available prefix of
395 any length. This is more in line with with RFC 8168 and should improve
396 the out-of-the-box user experience.
9de870cc 397 **NOTE: THIS IS CHANGE IN DEFAULT BEHAVIOR.
b53ba157
TM
398 [ISC-Bugs #45615]
399
bbdac71d
TM
400- Added support for 'dhcp-cache-threshold' to IPv6 operation: If a client
401 renews before 'dhcp-cache-threshold' percent of its lease has elapsed
402 (default 25%), the server will reuse the allocated lease (provide a
403 lease within the currently allocated lease-time) rather than extend or
404 renew the lease. This allows the server to reply without needlessly
405 writing leases to disk. The preferred and valid lease lifetimes
406 sent to the client will be reduced by the age of the lease. The option
407 may be specified down to the pool level and is supported for all three
408 pool types: NA, TA, and PD.
409 [ISC-Bugs #45292]
410
905c58b9
TM

424- A "key-algorithm <algorithm>" statement has been added to omshell to
425 allow the specification of the key algorithm to use during transaction
426 authentication. Prior to this it was hard-coded to be hmac-md5. It now
427 supports all of the same algorithms as the dhcpd server: hmac-md5 (the
428 default), hmac-sha1, hmac-sha224, hmac-sha256, hmac-sha384, and hmac-sha512.

431- Added a server configuration parameter, persist-eui-64-leases, which

140612c8 436- Changed the default value of the prefix length passed by dhclient into the
a804fcc0
TM
437 client script for each IPv6 address from 64 to 128. This was done to comply
438 with RFC3315bis draft (-09, page 64) and RFC5942, Section 4, point 1.
439 In addition, dhclient now supports a command line argument,
440 --address-prefix-len, which may be used to override the default value.
441 **WARNING**: This change may not be backwardly compatible with your
442 environment. If you are operating without a router, such as between VMs on
443 a host, you may find they cannot see each with prefix length of 128. In
444 such cases, you'll need to either provide routing or use the command line
445 parameter to set the value to 64. Alternatively you may change the default
446 at compile time by setting DHCLIENT_DEFAULT_PREFIX_LEN in includes/site.h.

458 hint that does not match the prior lease. Now the server will only
459 return the previous lease if it exactly matches the hint. If not

505- The server now allows the client identifier (option 61) to own leases
506 in more than one subnet concurrently. Prior to this the server would
507 incorrectly release an existing lease in one subnet prior to assigning
508 a lease in another subnet. Note that the prior behavior can be still

568 options specified in the client configuration. If not enabled the client
569 will still consider such leases. This must be enabled at compile time

586- Added --dad-wait-time parameter to dhclient. It specifies the maximum time,
587 in seconds, that the client process should wait for the duplicate address
588 detection to complete before initiating DHCP requests. This value is
589 propagated to the dhclient script and the script is responsible for waiting
590 the specified amount of time or until DAD has completed. If the script does
591 not support it, specifying this parameter has no effect. The default value
592 is 0 which specifies that the script should not wait for DAD. With this
593 change the following scripts have been modified to support the new parameter:
594 freebsd, linux, macos, netbsd, openbsd.

597- The server nows checks both the address and length of a prefix delegation
598 when attempting to match it to a prefix pool. This ensures the server
599 responds properly when pool configurations change such that once valid,
600 "in-pool" delegations are now treated as being invalid. During lease
601 file loading at startup, the server will discard any PD leases that
602 are deemed "out-of-pool" either by address or mis-matched prefix length.
603 Clients seeking to renew or rebind such leases will get a response of
604 No Binding in the case of the former, and the prefix delegation with
605 lifetimes set to zero in the case of the latter. Thanks to Mark Nejedlo

611 by dhclient only if and when the it first attempts an update; and never by
612 dhcrelay. Prior to this all three always did the initialization at startup

976- The server now does a better check to see if it can allocate the memory
977 for large blocks of v4 leases and should provide a slightly better error
978 message. Note well: the server pre-allocates v4 addresses, if you use
979 a large range, such as a /8, the server will attempt to use a large
980 amount of memory and may not start if there either isn't enough memory
981 or the size exceeds what the code supports.

984- The server will now reject unicast Request, Renew, Decline, and Release
985 messages from a client unless the server would have sent that client the
986 dhcp6.unicast option. This behavior is in compliance with paragraph 1 in
987 each of the sections 18.2,1, 18.2.3, 18.2.6, and 18.2.7 of RFC 3315. Prior
988 to this, the server would simply accept the messages. Now, in order for
989 the server to accept such a message, the server configuration must include
990 the dhcp6.unicast option either globally or within the shared network to
991 which the requested lease belongs. In other words, the server will map
992 the first IA_XX address found within the client message to a shared-network
993 and look for the presence of the unicast option there and then globally.

1061
1062- Corrected an issue in v6 lease file parsing. Prior to this, when encountering
1063 a lease with an address for which no configured pool exists, the server was
1064 declaring the lease file corrupt and incorrectly skipping over the subsequent
1065 entry in the file. The server will now emit a log message indicating that
1066 no pool was found for the address (or prefix) and correctly resume parsing
1067 with the next entry in the lease file. Our thanks to Michal Žejdl for
1068 reporting the issue.
1069 [ISC-Bugs #39314]
1070
1071- Be more liberal in finding a subnet group associated with a static
1072 prefix. When we added the class matching code for v6 we also added
1073 a requirement that the static prefix must be within a subnet the
1074 client was in, in order to find the proper statements. We now
1075 look for a subnet based on the prefix, failing that on the static
1076 address for the client and failing that on the shared network
1077 itself.
1078 [ISC-Bugs #38329]
1079
1080- Add a new action expression "parse_vendor_options", which can be used
1081 to parse a vendor-encapsualted-option received by the server based on
1082 the encoding specified by the vendor-option-space statement.
1083 [ISC-Bugs #36449]
1084
1085- Enhance the PARANOIA patch to include fchown() the lease file to

1090- Relax the requirement that prefix pools must be within the subnet.
1091 This was added in as part of #32453 in order to avoid configuration
1092 mistakes but is being removed as prefixes aren't required to be
1093 within the same subnet and many people configure them in that fashion.

1149 the issue.
1150 [ISC-Bugs #37780]
1151
1152- Unit test execution now uses a path augmented during configuration
1153 processing of the --with-atf option to locate ATF runtime tools, atf-run
1154 and atf-report. For most installations of ATF, this should alleviate the
1155 need to manually include them in the PATH, as was formerly required.
1156 If the configure script cannot locate the tools it will emit a warning,
1157 informing the user that the tools must be in the PATH when running unit
1158 tests.
1159 Secondly, please note that "make check" will now exit with a failure status
1160 code (non-zero) if one or more unit tests fail. This means that invoking
1161 "make check" from an upper level directory will cause the make process to
1162 STOP after the first test subdirectory with failed test(s). To force all
1163 tests in all subdirectories to run, regardless of individual test outcome,

1235 include the client identifier option (Option code 61) if received, in its
1236 responses. The server identifier returned in NAKs (if enabled) will now
1237 be the globally defined value (if one) if the server cannot attribute the
1238 inbound request to a known subnet.
1239 [ISC-Bugs #35958]
1240 [ISC-Bugs #32545]
1241
1242- Added support of the configuration parameter, use-host-decl-names, to
1243 BOOTP request handling.
1244 [ISC-Bugs #36233]
1245
1246- Added logic to ignore the signal, SIGPIPE, which ensures write failures
1247 will be delivered as errors rather than as SIGPIPE signals on all OSs.
1248 Thanks to Marius Tomaschewski from SUSE who reported the issue and provided
1249 the patch upon which the fix is based.
1250 [ISC-Bugs #32222]
1251
1252- In the failover code, handle the case of communications being interrupted
1253 when the servers are dealing with POTENTIAL-CONFLICT. This patch allows
1254 the primary to accept the secondary moving from POTENTIAL-CONFLICT to
1255 RESOLUTION-INTERRUPTED as well as handling the bind update process better.
1256 In addition the code to resend update or update all requests has been
1257 modified to send requests more often.
1258 [ISC-Bugs #36810]
1259 [ISC-Bugs #20352]
1260
1261- By default, the server will now choose the value to use in the forward DNS
1262 name from the following in order of preference:
1263
1264 1. FQDN option if provided by the client
1265 2. Host name option if provided by the client
1266 3. Configured option host-name if defined
1267
1268 As before, this may be overridden by defining ddns-hostname to the desired
1269 value (or expression). In addition, the server logic has been extended to
1270 use the value of the host name declaration if use-host-decl-names is enabled
1271 and no other value is available.
1272 [ISC-Bugs #21323]
1273
1274- DNS updates were being attempted when dhcp-cache-threshold enabled the use of
1275 the existing lease and the forward DNS name had not changed. This has been
1276 corrected.
1277 [ISC-Bugs #37368]
1278 [ISC-Bugs #38636]
1279
1280- Corrected an issue which caused dhclient to incorrectly form the result when
1281 prepending or appending to the IPv4 domain-search option, received from the
1282 server, when either of the values being combined contain compressed
1283 components.
1284 [ISC-Bugs #20558]
1285
1286- Added the server-id-check parameter to the server configuration.
1287 This parameter allows run-time control over whether or not a server,
1288 participating in failover, verifies the dhcp-server-identifier option in
1289 DHCP REQUESTs against the server's id before processing the request.
1290 Formerly, enabling this behavior was done at compilation time through
1291 the use of the #define, SERVER_ID_CHECK, which has been removed from site.h
1292 The functionality is now only available through the new runtime parameter.
1293 [ISC-Bugs #37551]
1294
1295- During startup, when the server encounters a lease whose binding state is
1296 FTS_BACKUP but whose pool has no configured failover peer, it will reset the
1297 lease's binding state to FTS_FREE. This allows the leases to be reclaimed
1298 by the server after a pool's configuration has changed from failover to
1299 standalone. Prior to this such leases would remain stuck in the backup state
1300 making them unavailable for assignment. Note this conversion will occur
1301 whether or not the server is compiled for failover.
1302 [ISC-Bugs #36960]
1303
1304- Fixed a small issue in the treatment of hosts in the inform processing
1305 that could cause the response to an inform to include information from
1306 the wrong scope. The two examples we've heard of are getting subnet
1307 instead of group information associated with a host entry, or getting
1308 global information instead of subnet if the host entry was built via
1309 omapi. Thanks to Julien Soula at University of Lille for finding the
1310 bug and supplying a patch.
1311 [ISC-Bugs #35712]
1312
1313- Avoid calling pool_timer() recursively from supersede_lease(). This could
1314 result in leases changing state incorrectly or delaying the running of the
1315 leae expiration code.
1316 [ISC-Bugs #38002]
1317
1318- Move the check for a PID file and process to be before we rewrite the
1319 lease file. This avoids the possibility of starting a second instance
1320 of a server which changes the current lease file confusing the first
1321 instance. This check is only included if the admin hasn't disabled PID
1322 files.
1323 [ISC-Bugs #38078]
1324 [ISC-Bugs #38143]
1325
1326- In the client code change the way preferred_life and max_life are printed
1327 for environment variables to be unsigned rather than signed.
1328 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the bug report and patch.
1329 [ISC-Bugs #37084]
1330
1331- Modified Linux packet handling such that packets received via VLAN are now
1332 seen only by the VLAN interface. Prior to this, such packets were seen by
1333 both the VLAN interface and its parent (physical) interface, causing the
1334 server to respond to both. Note this remains an issue for non-Linux OSs.
1335 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the patch.

1340
1341- Log content has been changed to more directly suggest that admins should
1342 check for multiple IPv6 clients attempting to use the same DUID when only
1343 abandoned addresses are available. Debug level logging will now emit counts
1344 of the total number of, in-use, and abandoned addresses in a shared subnet
1345 when the server finds no addresses available for a given DUID. Lastly,
1346 threshold logging is now automatically disabled for shared subnets whose
1347 total number of possible addresses exceeds (2^64)-1.
1348 [ISC-Bugs #26376]
1349 [ISC-Bugs #38131]
1350
1351- Added a global parameter, prefix-length-mode, which may be used to determine
1352 how the server uses a non-zero value for prefix-length supplied by clients
1353 when soliciting DHCPv6 prefixes. The server supports selection modes of:
1354 ignore, prefer, exact, minimum and maximum which are described in detail in
1355 the server man pages. The prior behavior of the server was to only offer a
1356 prefix whose length exactly matched the prefix-length value requested. If
1357 no such prefixes were available, the server returned a status of none
1358 available. Note the default mode, "exact", provides this same behavior.
1359 [ISC-Bugs #36780]
1360 [ISC-Bugs #32228]
1361
1362- Corrected inconsistencies in dhcrelay's setting the upper interface hop count
1363 limit such that it now sets it to 32 when the upstream address is a multicast
1364 address per RFC 3315 Section 20. Prior to this if the -u argument preceded
1365 the -l argument on the command line or if the same interface was specified
1366 for both; the logic to set the hop limit count for the upper interface was
1367 skipped. This caused the hop count limit to be set to the default value
1368 (typically 1) in the outbound upstream packets.

51b8a8a0
SR
1530
1531- If a client renews before 'dhcp-cache-threshold' percent of its lease
1532 has elapsed (default 25%), the server will reuse the allocated lease
1533 (provide a lease within the currently allocated lease-time) rather
1534 than extend or renew the lease. This absolves the server of needing
1535 to perform an fsync() operation on the lease database before reply,
1536 which improves performance. [ISC-Bugs #22228]
80778e94 1537 Updated this patch to support asynchronous DDNS. If the server is
adb95d23 1538 attempting to do DDNS on a lease it should be updated and written to
4809ef5c 1539 disk even if that wouldn't be necessary due to the thresholding.

1546- A problem with missing get_hw_addr function when --enable-use-sockets
1547 was used is now solved on GNU/Linux, BSD and GNU/Hurd systems. Note
1548 that use-sockets feature was not tested on those systems. Client and
1549 server code no longer use MAX_PATH constant that is not defined on
3cb6f9bb 1550 GNU/Hurd systems. [ISC-Bugs #25979]
32e651c4 1551
67418698
SR
1552- Add a perl script in the contrib directory, dhcp-lease-list.pl, which
1553 can parse v4 lease files and output the lease information in a more
1554 human friendly manner. This was written by Christian Hammers with
1555 some updates by vom and ISC. This is contributed code and is not
1556 supported by ISC; however it may be useful to some users.

d7d9c0c7
SR
1565- Update the DDNS code to current standards and allow for sharing
1566 of DDNS entries between v4 and v6 clients. The new code is used
1567 if the ddns-update-style is set to "standard", the older code is
1568 still available if ddns-update-style is set to "interim". The
1569 oldest DDNS code "ad-hoc" has been removed. Thanks to Thomas Pegeot

1534fff7 1573
cde11a4c
SR
1574- Add a configuration option to the server to suppress using fsync().
1575 Enabling this option will mean that fsync() is never called. This
1576 may provide better performance but there is also a risk that a lease
1577 will not be properly written to the disk after it has been issued
1578 to a client and before the server stops. Using this option is
1579 not recommended.

f88446f1
SR
1582- Add some logging statements to indicate when the server is ready
1583 to serve. One statement is emitted after the server has finished
1584 reading its files and is about to enter the dispatch loop.
1585 This is "Server starting service.".
1586 The second is emitted when a server determines that both it and
1587 its failover peer are in the normal state.
1588 This is "failover peer <name>: Both servers normal."

e54ff84f 1599- When doing DDNS if there isn't an appropriate zone statement attempt
80778e94 1600 to find a reasonable nameserver via a DNS resolver. This restores
e54ff84f
SR
1601 some functionality that was lost in the transition to asynchronous
1602 DDNS. Due to the lack of security and increase in fragility of the
1603 system when using this feature we strongly recommend the use of
1604 appropriate zone statements rather than using this functionality.

SR
1607- Add support for specifying the address from which to send
1608 DDNS updates on the DHCP server. There are two new options
1609 "ddns-local-address4" and "ddns-local-address6" that each take
1610 one instance of their respective address types.

1613- Add ignore-client-uids option in the server. This option causes
1614 the server to not record a client's uid in its lease. This
1615 violates the specification but may also be useful when a client
1616 can dual boot using different client ids but the same mac address.

1647- An optimization described in the failover protocol draft is now included,
1648 which permits a DHCP server operating in communications-interrupted state
1649 to 'rewind' a lease to the state most recently transmitted to its peer,
1650 greatly increasing a server's endurance in communications-interrupted.
1651 This is supported using a new 'rewind state' record on the dhcpd.leases
1652 entry for each lease.

2065 While reviewing the code as we addressed this problem, we determined
2066 that some of the updates to the lease structures would not work as
2067 planned since the structures being updated were in the process of
2068 being freed: these updates were removed. In addition we removed an

2173! Previously the server code was relaxed to allow packets with zero
2174 length client ids to be processed. Under some situations use of
2175 zero length client ids can cause the server to go into an infinite
2176 loop. As such ids are not valid according to RFC 2132 section 9.14
2177 the server no longer accepts them. Client ids with a length of 1
2178 are also invalid but the server still accepts them in order to
2179 minimize disruption. The restriction will likely be tightened in
2180 the future to disallow ids with a length of 1.

2371- The dhcp-renewal-time and dhcp-rebinding-time options may now be configured
2372 for DHCPv4 operation and used independently of the dhcp-lease-time
2373 calculations. Invalid renew and rebinding times (e.g., greater than the
2374 determined lease time) are omitted.
2375
adb95d23 2376- Processing the DHCP to DNS server transactions in an asynchronous fashion,
45adf35c 2377 the DHCP server or client can now continue with its processing while
98bf1607 2378 awaiting replies from the DNS server.

2380- The 'hardware [ethernet|etc] ...;' parameter in host records has been
2381 extended to attempt to match DHCPv6 clients by the last octets of a
2382 DUID-LL or DUID-LLT provided by the client.

DH
2390- The notorious 'option <unknown> ... larger than buffer' log line,
2391 which is seen in some malformed DHCP client packets, was modified.
2392 It now logs the universe name, and does not log the length values
2393 (which are bogus corruption read from the packet anyway). It also
2394 carries a hopefully more useful explanation.

2396- Suppress spurious warnings from configure about --datarootdir

DH
2398- A bug was fixed that caused the server not to answer some valid Solicit
2399 and Request packets, if the dynamic range covering any requested addresses
2400 had been deleted from configuration.

SR
2402- Update the code to deal with GCC 4.3. This included two sets of changes.
2403 The first is to the configuration files to include the use of
571c38b0 2404 AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS. The second is to deal with return values that
cd51403d

2413- Fix a build error in dhcrelay, using older versions of gcc with
2414 dhcpv6 disabled.

2420 result in an erroneous error log message ('garbage in format string').
2421
f9453d21
DH
2422- A bug in DLPI packet transmission (Solaris, HP/UX) that caused the server
2423 to stop receiving packets is fixed. The same fix also means that the MAC
2424 address will no longer appear 'bogus' on DLPI-based systems.
2425
2426- A bug in select handling was discovered where the results of one select()
2427 call were discarded, causing the server to process the next select() call
2428 and use more system calls than required. This has been repaired - the
2429 sockets will be handled after the first return from select(), resulting in
2430 fewer system calls.
2431
a3dcc0b1
DH
2432- The update-conflict-detection feature would leave an FQDN updated without
2433 a DHCID (still currently implemented as a TXT RR). This would cause later
2434 expiration or release events to fail to remove the domain name. The feature
2435 now also inserts the client's up to date DHCID record, so records may safely
2436 be removed at expiration or release time. Thanks to a patch submitted by
2437 Christof Chen.

DH
2439- Memory leak in the load_balance_mine() function is fixed. This would
2440 leak ~20-30 octets per DHCPDISCOVER packet while failover was in use
2441 and in normal state.
2442

2444 DEBUG #defines in includes/site.h.

PS
2446- Fixed Linux client script 'unary operator expected' errors with DHCPv6.

2450 override hostnames 'localhost' and '(none)'.

2455- Compilation on Solaris with USE_SOCKETS defined in includes/site.h has
2456 been repaired. Other USE_ overrides should work better.

2460 a larger defined value provided by the host OS).

DH
2462- Fixed a bug where an OMAPI socket disconnection message would not result
2463 in scheduling a failover reconnection, if the link had not negotiated a

2465 timeouts).

2470! A stack overflow vulnerability was fixed in dhclient that could allow
2471 remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands as root on the system,

DH
2489- Secondary servers in a failover pair will now perform ddns removals if
2490 they had performed ddns updates on a lease that is expiring, or was
2491 released through the primary. As part of the same fix, stale binding scopes
2492 will now be removed if a change in identity of a lease's active client is
2493 detected, rather than simply if a lease is noticed to have expired (which it
2494 may have expired without a failover server noticing in some situations).
2495

DH
2496- A patch supplied by David Cantrell at RedHat was applied that detects
2497 invalid calling parameters given to the ns_name_ntop() function.
2498 Specifically, it detects if the caller passed a pointer and size pair
2499 that causes the pointer to integer-wrap past zero.

DH
2507- Both host and subnet6 configuration groups are now included whether a
2508 fixed-address6 (DHCPv6) is in use or not. Host scoped configuration takes
2509 precedence. This fixes two bugs, one where host scoped configuration
2510 would not be included from a non-fixed-address6 host record, and the equal
2511 and opposite bug where subnet6 scoped configuration would not be used when
571c38b0 2512 over-riding values were not present in a matching fixed-address6 host
2267da84

2515- ./configure now checks to ensure the intX_t and u_intX_t types are defined,
2516 correcting a compilation failure when using Sun's compiler.
2517
0493fdca
SR
2518- Modified the handling of a connection to avoid releasing the omapi io
2519 object for the connection while it is still in use. One symptom from
2520 this error was a segfault when a failover secondary attempted to connect
2521 to the failover primary if their clocks were not synchronized.
2522
95bba8b6
SR
2523- Clean up to allow compilation with gcc 2.95.4 on FreeBSD. Remove an
2524 extra semi-colon from common/dns.c and moved setting a variable to NULL
2525 in server/dhcpv6.c to allow the compiler to decide that the variable
9a111ee8 2526 was always properly set.

2555 in future releases.

DH
2632- A bug in subnet6 parsing where options contained in subnet6 clauses would
2633 not be applied to clients addressed within that network was repaired.
2634
2635- When configuring a "subnet {}" or "subnet6 {}" without an explicit
2636 shared-network enclosing it, the DHCP software would synthesize a
2637 shared-network to contain the subnet. However, all configuration
2638 parameters within the subnet more intuitively belong "to any client
2639 on that interface", or rather the synthesized shared-network. So,
2640 when a shared-network is synthesized, it is used to contain the
2641 configuration present inside the subnet {} clause. This means that
2642 the configuration will be valid for all clients on that network, not
2643 just those addressed out of the stated subnet. If you intended the
2644 opposite, the workaround is to explicitly configure an empty
2645 shared-network.
2646
2647- A bug was fixed where Information-Request processing was not sourcing
2648 configured option values.
2649
2650- A warning was added since the DHCPv6 processing software does not yet
2651 support class statements.

01a54c17
EH
2703- The dhclient-script was updated to create a host route for the default
2704 gateway if the supplied subnet mask for an IPv4 address was a /32. This
2705 allows the client to work in 'captive' network environments, where the
2706 operator does not want clients to crosstalk directly.
2707
adb95d23 2708- MINUS tokens should be parsable again.
01a54c17
EH
2709
2710- Multiple (up to "delayed-ack x;" maximum) DHCPv4 packets are now queued and
2711 released in bursts after single fsync() events when the upper limit is
2712 reached or if the receiving sockets go dry. The practical upshot is
2713 that fsync-coupled server performance is now multiplicitively increased.
2714 The default delayed ack limit is 28. Thanks entirely to a patch from
2715 Christof Chen.

2c9bf1f4
DH
2751- The minimum site code value was set to 224 in 3.1.0 to track RFC3942. This
2752 broke a lot of legacy site local configurations. The new code in place will
2753 track site local space minimum option codes and logs a warning to encourage
2754 updates and exploration of site local code migration problems. Option
2755 codes less than 128 in site local spaces remain inaccessible.
2756
2757- A possible relay agent option bug was repaired where random server
2758 initialization state may have been used to signal the relay agent
2759 information options sub-option code for the 'END' of the option space.

57fcb8d9
SK
2765- When server is configured with options that it overrides, a warning is
2766 issued when the configuration file is read, rather than at the time the
2767 option is overridden. This was important, because the warning was given
9a111ee8 2768 every time the option was overridden, which could create a lot of
57fcb8d9

2769 unnecessary logging.

2792
61d75ea2
DH
2793 Changes since 4.0.0b3
2794
2795- The reverse dns name for PTR updates on IPv6 addresses has been fixed to
2796 use ip6.arpa. rather than default to in-addr.arpa and require user
2797 configuration.
76db44f9 2798
e32529a5
EH
2799- dhc6_lease_destroy() and dhc6_ia_destroy() now set lease and IA pointers
2800 to NULL after freeing, to prevent subsequent accesses to freed memory.
2801
9a111ee8 2802- The DHCPv6 server would not send the preference option unless the
76db44f9
SK
2803 client requested it, via the ORO. This has been fixed, so the DHCPv6
2804 server will always send the preference value if it is configured.
e4a6be15 2805
9a111ee8
TM
2806- When addresses were passed as hints to the server in an IA, they were
2807 incorrectly handled, sometimes being treated as an error. Now the
6f76de58
SK
2808 server will treat these as hints and ignore them if it cannot supply
2809 a requested address.
2810
703873ab
DH
2811- If the client had multiple addresses, and one expired (was not renewed
2812 by the server), the client would continue to attempt to renew the same
2813 old address over and over. Now, the client will omit any expired
2814 addresses from future Confirm, Renew, or Rebind messages.
2815
2816- dhclient -6 will now select renew/rebind timers based upon the longest
2817 address expiration time rather than the shortest expiration time, in
2818 order to avoid cascading renewals in the event a server elects not to
2819 extend one of multiple IAADDR leases.
2820
b024480e
DH
2821- The server now limits clients that request multiple addresses to one
2822 address per IA by default, which can be adjusted through the
2823 "limit-addrs-per-ia" configuration option.
2824
c0216cb7
DH
2825- The DHCPv6 client now issues fresh transaction IDs on Renew and Rebind
2826 message exchanges, rather than using the most recent ID.
2827
1ac57173

2830- A bug was fixed in the dhclient-script for BSDs to correctly carry error
2831 codes through some conditions.

2833- The parsing of some options in the dhclient lease file, in particular
2834 the success DHCPv6 status-code, was fixed.
2835
e5d83524
DH
2836- A bug was fixed that caused the DHCPv6 ORO option to be corrupted with
2837 seemingly random values.

DH
2839- A reference overleak in DHCPv6 shared network processing was repaired.

f8b3c6f4
DH
2841- ./configure now autodetects local database locations rather than trying
2842 to put dhcpd.leases and dhclient.leases in /usr/local/var/db, which no
2843 one ever has.
2844
9a111ee8
TM
2845- Regression fix for bug where server advertised a IPv6 address in
2846 response to a SOLICIT but would not return the address in response
b9137d42
SK
2847 to a REQUEST.

2849- A bug was fixed where the DHCPv6 server puts the NoAddrsAvail status
2850 code in the IA_NA was fixed. The status code now appears in the root
2851 level.

2855- Clarified error message when lease limit exceeded
2856
b1d3778c
DH
2857- Relative time may now be used as a qualifier for 'allow' and 'deny' access
2858 control lists. These directives may be used to assist in re-addressing
2859 address pools without having to constantly reconfigure the server. Please
2860 see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more information on allow/deny 'after time' syntax.
2861 Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen.
2862
bead14ea
DH
2863- The server will now include multiple IA_NA's and multiple IAADDRs within
2864 them, if advertised by the client. It still only seeks to allocate one
2865 new address.
2866
f765ec36
SK
2867 Changes since 4.0.0b1
2868
75135a3f 2869- Use different paths for PID and lease files when running in DHCPv4
adb95d23 2870 or DHCPv6 mode, so that servers for both protocols can be run
75135a3f
EH
2871 simultaneously on a single interface.
2872
5c2d55c7
EH
2873- Fixed a buffer overflow error which could have allowed a denial
2874 of service under unusual server configurations
2875
2876- Eliminated a spurious error message from the client
2877
9a111ee8 2878- A number of bugs with the internal handling of lease state on the
f765ec36 2879 server have been fixed. Some of these could cause server crashes.
fa9b593d 2880
edb1283e
DH
2881- The peer_wants_leases() changes pulled up from 3.1.0 were corrected,
2882 'never used' leases will no longer consistently shift between servers
2883 on every pool rebalance run.

2885- sendmsg()/recvmsg() control buffers are now declared in such a way to
2886 ensure they are correctly aligned on all (esp. 64-bit) architectures.
2887

DH
2888- The client leasing subsystem was streamlined and corrected to account
2889 more closely for changes in client link attachment selection.

ab3a540f 2891 Changes since 4.0.0a3
763cba6b 2892
9a111ee8 2893- The DHCP server no longer requires a "ddns-update-style" statement,
884a458f
SK
2894 and now defaults to "none", which means DNS updates are disabled.
2895
fa9b593d
DH
2896- Log messages when failover peer names mismatch have been improved to
2897 point out the problem.
2898
9a111ee8 2899- Bug where server advertised a IPv6 address in response to a SOLICIT
1b5053b5
SK
2900 but would not return the address in response to a REQUEST. Thanks to
2901 Dennis Kou for finding the bug.
2902

SK
2903- Fixed an error causing the server to lock up on lease expiration,
2904 reported independently by Jothilingam Vasu and Dennis Kou.
2905
eaf7eb17
DH
2906- Fixed a ./configure bug where compile tests were failing due to
2907 "-Werror" (unused variable) rather than the actual test failure. Lead
2908 to inconsistent and unworkable auto-configurations.

3ad9d48f
SK
2913 fixed by Marcus Goller.
2914
8eab95f2
DH
2915- DHCPv6 server Confirm message processing has been enhanced - it no
2916 longer replies only to clients with host {} records, it now replies
2917 as directed in RFC3315 section 18.2.2 - that is, to all clients
2918 regardless of the existence of bindings.

DH
2920- A core dump during expired lease cleanup has been repaired.
2921
7285af30
DH
2922- DDNS updates state information are now stored in 'binding scopes' that
2923 follow the leases through their lifecycles. This enables DDNS teardowns
2924 on leases that are assigned and expired inbetween a server restart (the
2925 state is recovered from dhcpd.leases). Arbitrary user-specified binding
2926 scopes ('set var = "value";') are not yet supported.

2946- An internal database inconsistency bug was repaired where the server
2947 would segfault if a client attempted to renew a lease that had been
2948 loaded from persistent storage.
2949
45d545f0 2950- 'request' and 'also request' syntaxes have been added to accommodate
0c20eab3
DH
2951 the DHCPv6 client configuration. 'send dhcp6.oro' is no longer
2952 necessary.
2953
9a111ee8
TM
2954- Bug fixed where configuration file parsing did not work with
2955 zero-length options; this made it impossible to set the
f800f4f6
SK
2956 rapid-commit option.
2957
845e9677

2973- Compilation on HP/UX has been repaired. The changes should generally
2974 apply to any architecture that supplies SIOCGLIFCONF but does not
2975 use 'struct lifconf' structures to pass values.

3011- Corrected some situations where variables might be used without being
3012 initialized.
3013
3014- Silenced several other compiler warnings.
3015
3016- Include the more standard sys/uio.h rather than rely upon other
f66f02cc
DH
3017 header files to include it (fixes a BSD 4.2 compile failure).
3018
3019- Duplicate dhclient-script updates for DHCPv6 to all provided scripts.
a512d11b 3020
4ba58919
DH
3021- DHCPv4 I/O methods that failed to sense hardware address were corrected.
3022
3023- DHCPv4 is now the default (as documented) rather than DHCPv6. The default
3024 was set to DHCPv6 to facilitate ease early development, and forgotten.
3025
3026- Corrected a segmentation violation in DHCPv4 socket processing.
3027
8ea19a71 3028- dhclient will now fork() into the background once it binds to an
45d545f0 3029 IPv6 address, or immediately if the -n flag is supplied.
8ea19a71
DH
3030
3031- -q is now the default behaviour on dhclient, with -d or -v enabling
3032 non-quiet (stderr logging) mode.

3039
98bd7ca0
DH
3040 Changes since 3.1.0 (NEW FEATURES)
3041
3042- DHCPv6 Client and Server protocol support. Use '-6' to run the daemons
3043 as v6-only. Use '-4' to run the daemons as v4-only (default. There is
3044 no support currently for both.
3045
3046- Server support for multiple IA_NA options, containing at most one
3047 IAADDR option.
3048
3049- Client support for one IA_NA option, containing any number of IAADDR
3050 options.
3051
3052- Server support for the DHCPv6 Information-request message.
3053
3054- Inappropriate unicast DHCPv6 messages sent to the server are now
3055 discarded, and this has rearchitected the IO system slightly.
3056
3057- The DHCPv6 server DUID defaults to type 1, is persistently stored in
3058 the leases database, and can be over-ridden (either completely, or by
3059 specifying type 1 or type 2).
3060
3061- The server only uses Rapid-Commit if it has been configured with the
3062 Rapid-Commit option and the client requests it.
3063
3064- DDNS support. We now update AAAA records in the same place we would
3065 update A records, if we have an IPv6 address. We also generate IP6.ARPA
3066 style names for PTR records if we're dealing with an IPv6 address. Both
3067 A and AAAA updates are done using the same 'fqdn.' virtual option space
3068 (although the DHCPv4 FQDN and DHCPv6 FQDN options are formatted
3069 differently, they both use the same code here).
3070
3071- The Linux dhclient-script attempts to set and remove assigned addresses,
3072 and to configure /etc/resolv.conf from nameserver and domain name
3073 configurations. It can be extended to configure other parameters.
3074
3075- Initial DHCPv6 lease support.
3076
3077- The IO system now tracks all local IP addresses, so that the DHCP
3078 applications (particularly the dhcrelay) can discern between what frames
3079 were transmitted to it, and what frames are being carried through it which
3080 it should not intercept.
3081
1418fd11
DH
3082 Changes since 3.1.0 (Maintenance)
3083
3084- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for virgin leases always
3085 mapped to the primary. Virgin leases now have an interleaved preference
3086 between primary and secondary.
3087
3088- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for clients with no client
3089 identifier was sometimes mishashed to the peer. Load balancing during
3090 runtime and pool rebalancing were opposing.
3091
aa3e348e
DH
3092- An assertion in lease counting relating to reserved leases was repaired.
3093
e9c59645
DH
3094- The subnet-mask option inclusion now conforms with RFC2132 section 3.3;
3095 it will only appear prior to the routers option if it is present on the
3096 Parameter-Request-List. The subnet-mask option will also only be
3097 included by default (if it is not on the PRL) in response to DISCOVER
3098 or REQUEST messages.
3099
3100- The FQDN option is only supplied if the client supplied an FQDN option or
3101 if the FQDN option was explicitly requested on the PRL.

DH
3108 failover protected subnets was removed.
3109
a512cc3a
DH
3110 Changes since 3.1.0b2
3111
3112- Failover rebalance events no longer play ping pong with round errors
3113 (moving leases between free and back to backup where there are an
3114 odd number of leases).
3115
3116- The 'pool' log line has been split into two messages, one before the
3117 rebalance run, and one after.
3118
3119- Any queued BNDACKs are transmitted before transmitting new BNDUPDs.
3120 This enforces the correct sequence of events for the remote server
3121 processing these messages.
3122
fe5b0fdd 3123 Changes since 3.1.0b1

3126 objects.
3127
1ba87b37
EH
3128- A new server config option "fqdn-reply" specifies whether the server
3129 should send out option 81 (FQDN). Defaults to "on". If set to "off",
3130 the FQDN option is not sent, even if the client requested it. This is
3131 needed because some clients misbehave otherwise. Thanks to Christof Chen
3132 at Allianz.

3134- Allow trace output files (-tf option) to be overwritten, rather than
3135 crashing dhcpd if the file already exists
3136
61252edf
EH
3137- A bug was fixed that caused dhcpd to segfault if a pool was declared
3138 outside the scope of a subnet in dhcpd.conf.
3139
27837f95
DH
3140- Some uninitialized values were repaired in dhcpleasequery.c that
3141 caused the server to abort.
3142
4d2eaafb
DH
3143- A new server config option, 'do-reverse-updates', has been added
3144 which causes the server to abstain from performing updates on PTR
3145 records. Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen at Allianz.

06211b40
DH
3147- A bug was repaired in subencapsulation support, where spaces separated
3148 by empty spaces would not get included.
3149
d6614ea2
DH
3150- A bug in dhclient was repaired which caused it to send parameter request
3151 lists of 55 bytes in length no matter how long the declared PRL was.
3152
132d38f2
DH
3153- 'dhcp.c(3953): non-null pointer' has been repaired. This fixes a flaw
3154 wherein the DHCPv4 server may ignore a configured server-identifier.
3155
fc3b9c90

3177 hash table was repaired.
3178
616d67cb
DH
3179- The servers now try harder to transmit pending binding updates when
3180 entering normal state.
3181
3182- UPDREQ/UPDREQALL handling was optimized - it no longer dequeues and
3183 requeues all pending updates. This should reduce the number of spurious
66c8f734
DH
3184 'xid mismatch' log messages.
3185
3186- An option definition referencing leak was fixed, which resulted in early
3187 termination of dhclient upon the renewal event.
616d67cb 3188
6708d944
DH
3189- Some default hash table sizes were tweaked, some upwards, some downwards.
3190 3.1.0a1's tables resulted in a reduction in default server memory use.
3191 The new selected values provide more of a zero sum (increasing the size
3192 of tables likely to be populated, decreasing the size of tables unlikely).
3193
45d545f0 3194- Lease structures appear in three separate hashes: by IP address, by UID,
6708d944
DH
3195 and by hardware address. One type of table was used for all three, and
3196 improvements to IP address hashing were applied to all three (so UID and
3197 hardware addresses were treated like 4-byte integers). There are now two
3198 types of tables, and the uid/hw hashes use functions more appropriate
3199 to their needs.
3200
3201- The max-lease-misbalance percentage no longer causes scheduled rebalance
3202 runs to be skipped: it still governs the schedule, but every scheduled
3203 run will attempt balance.
3204
a7ee93fe
DH
3205- A segfault bug in recursive encapsulation support has been corrected.
3206

DH
3207 Changes since 3.0 (New Features)
3208
3209- A workaround for certain STSN servers that send a mangled domain-name
3210 option was introduced for dhclient. The client will now accept corrupted
3211 server responses, if they contain a valid DHCP_MESSAGE_TYPE (OFFER, ACK,
3212 or NAK). The server will continue to not accept corrupt client packets.
3213
98bd7ca0 3214- Support for 'reserved' (pseudo-static) and BOOTP leases via failover
a55ccdd0 3215 was introduced.
98311e4b
DH
3216
3217- Support for adding, removing, and managing class and subclass statements
3218 via OMAPI.
3219
a55ccdd0
DH
3220- The failover implementation was updated to comply with revision 12 of
3221 the protocol draft.
3222
98311e4b
DH
3223- 'make install' now creates the initial zero-length dhcpd.leases file if
3224 one does not already exist on the system.
3225
b43c87ad 3226- RFC3942 compliance, site-local option spaces start at 224 now, not 128.
b43c87ad 3227
0b17f049
DH
3228- The Load Balance Algorithm was misimplemented. The current implementation
3229 matches RFC 3074.
3230
2727c1cf
DH
3231- lcase() and ucase() configuration expressions have been added which adjust
3232 their arguments from upper to lower and lower to upper cases respectively.
2714a8ef 3233 Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
2727c1cf 3234
febbd402
DH
3235- The dhclient 'reject ...;' statement, which rejects leases given by named
3236 server-identifiers, now permits address ranges to be specified in CIDR
7d7073e7 3237 notation. Thanks to a patch from David Boyce.
febbd402 3238
ee912528
DH
3239- The subnet-mask option is now supplied by default, but at lowest
3240 priority. This helps a small minority of clients that provide parameter
3241 request lists, but do not list the subnet-mask option because they were
3242 designed to interoperate with a server that behaves in this manner.
3243
3244- The FQDN option is similarly supplied even if it does not appear on the
3245 parameter request list, but not to the exclusion of options that do
3246 appear at the parameter request list. Up until now it had ultimate
3247 priority over the client's parameter request list.
3248
f7fdb216 3249- Varying option space code and length bit widths (8/16/32) are now
51202707 3250 supported. This is a milestone in achieving RFC 3925 "VIVSO" and
f7fdb216
DH
3251 DHCPv6 support.
3252
5e864416
DH
3253- A new common (server or client) option, 'db-time-format local;', has
3254 been added which prints the local time in /var/db/dhcpd.leases rather
3255 than UTC. Thanks to a patch from Ken Lalonde.
3256
b500bd4c
DH
3257- Some patches to improve DHCP Server startup speed from Andrew Matheson
3258 have been incorporated.
3259
2426234f
DH
3260- Failover pairs now implement 'MAC Affinity' on leases moving from the
3261 active to free states. Leases that belonged to the failover secondary
3262 are moved to BACKUP state rather than FREE upon exiting EXPIRED state.
3263 If lease rebalancing must move leases, it tries first to move leases
3264 that belong to the peer in need.
3265
3266- The server no longer sends POOLREQ messages unless the pool is severely
3267 misbalanced in the peer's favor (see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more details).
3268
3269- Pool rebalance events no longer happen upon successfully allocating a
3270 lease. Instead, they happen on a schedule. See 'man dhcpd.conf' for the
3271 min-balance and max-balance statements for more information.
3272
334bf491
DH
3273- The DHCP Relay Agent Information Option / Link Selection Sub-Option
3274 is now supported. (See RFC3527 for details).
3275
3004bebf
DH
3276- A new DDNS related server option, update-conflict-detection, has been
3277 added. If this option is enabled, dhcpd will perform normal DHCID
3278 conflict resolution (the default). If this option is disabled, it will
3279 instead trust the assigned name implicitly (removing any other bindings
3280 on that name). This option has not been made available in dhclient.
3281
567e8561
DH
3282- In those cases where the DHCP software manufactures an IP header (to
3283 transmit via bpf, lpf, etc), the IP TTL the software selects has been
3284 increased from 16 to 128. This is intended to match Microsoft Windows
3285 DHCP Client behaviour, to increase compatibility.
3286
a396d25f
DH
3287- 'ignore client-updates;' now has behaviour that is different from
3288 'deny client-updates;'. The client's request is not truly ignored,
3289 rather it is encouraged. Should this value be configured, the server
3290 updates DNS as though client-updates were set to 'deny'. That is, it
3291 enters into DNS whatever it is configured to do already, provided it is
3292 configured to. Then it sends a response to the client that lets the
3293 client believe it is performing client updates (which it will), probably
3294 for a different name. In essence, this lets the client do as it will,
3295 ignoring this aspect of their request.
3296
dba5803b
DH
3297- Support for compressed 'domain name list' style DHCP option contents, and
3298 in particular the domain search option (#119) was added.
3299
41e45067 3300- The DHCP LEASEQUERY protocol as defined in RFC4388 is now implemented.
6d103865
SK
3301 LEASEQUERY lets you query the DHCP server for information about a lease,
3302 using either an IP address, MAC address, or client identifier. Thanks
3303 to a patch from Justin Haddad.
3304
41e45067
DH
3305- DHCPD is now RFC2131 section 4.1 compliant (broadcast to all-ones ip and
3306 ethernet mac address) on the SCO platform specifically without any strange
3307 ifconfig hacks. Many thanks go to the Kroger Co. for donating the
3308 hardware and funding the development.
6d103865 3309
b543fea9
DH
3310- A new common configuration executable statement, execute(), has been
3311 added. This permits dhcpd or dhclient to execute a named external
3312 program with command line arguments specified from other configuration
3313 language. Thanks to a patch written by Mattias Ronnblom, gotten to us
3314 via Robin Breathe.
3315
b22de500
DH
3316- A new dhcp server option 'adaptive-lease-time-threshold' has been added
3317 which causes the server to substantially reduce lease-times if there are
3318 few (configured percentage) remaining leases. Thanks to a patch submitted
3319 from Christof Chen.
3320

3321- Encapsulated option spaces within encapsulated option spaces is now
3322 formally supported.

f546c28b
DH
3331- Assorted fixes for broken network devices: Packet length is now
3332 determined from the IP header length field to finally calculate the
3333 UDP payload length, because some NIC drivers return more data than
5a22eb63 3334 they actually received.
f546c28b
DH
3335
3336- UDP packets are now stored in aligned data structures.
3337
c1e6c832
DH
3338- A logic error in omapi interface code was repaired that might result in
3339 incorrectly indicating 'up' state when any flags were set, rather than
23e10d37
DH
3340 specifically the INTERFACE_REQUESTED flag. Thanks to a patch from
3341 Jochen Voss which got to us via Andrew Pollock at Debian.
c1e6c832 3342

DH
3343- A reference leak on binding scopes set by ddns updates was repaired.
3344
d69fb6a8 3345- A memory leak in the minires_nsendsigned() function call was repaired.
23e10d37 3346 Effectively, this leaked ~176 bytes per DDNS update.
d69fb6a8 3347
02428754
DH
3348- In the case where an "L2" DHCP Relay Agent (one that does not set giaddr)
3349 was directly attached to the same broadcast domain as the DHCP server,
3350 the RFC3046 relay agent information option was not being returned to the
3351 relay in the server's replies. This was fixed; the dhcp server no longer
3352 requires the giaddr to reply with relay agent information. Note that
3353 this also improves compatibility with L2 devices that "intercept" DHCP
3354 packets and expect relay agent information even in unicast (renewal)
23e10d37
DH
3355 replies. Thanks to a patch from Pekka Silvonen.
3356
3357- A bug was fixed where the BOOTP header 'sname' field had a value, the
3358 copy written to persistent storage was actually the contents of the
3359 'file' field.
02428754 3360
ecde99a3
DH
3361- A bug was fixed where the nwip virtual option space was referencing
3362 the fqdn option's virtual option space's option cache.
3363
67674ffb
DH
3364- Timestamp parsing errors that indicated missing "minutes" fields rather
3365 than the actually missing "seconds" fields have been repaired thanks to
3366 a patch from Kevin Steves.
3367
830ebc4c
DH
3368- A grammar error in the dhclient.8 manpage was repaired thanks to a patch
3369 from Chris Wagner.
3370
c759db75
DH
3371- Several spelling typos were repaired, and some cross-references to other
3372 relevant documents were included in the manpages, thanks to a patch
3373 by Andrew Pollock which got to us via Tomas Pospisek.
3374
9aa3f3a5
DH
3375- Some bugs were fixed in the 'emergency relay agent options hologram'
3376 which is used to retain relay agent option contents from when the
3377 client was in INIT or REBIND states. This should solve problems where
3378 relay agent options were not echoed from the server, even when giaddr
3379 was set.
3380
3d0c598a
DH
3381- dhclient now closes its descriptor to dhclient.leases prior to executing
3382 dhclient-script. Thanks to a patch from Tomas Pospisek.
3383
d5b6835f
DH
3384- The server's "by client-id" and "by hardware address" hash table lists
3385 are now sorted according to the preference to re-allocate that lease to
3386 returning clients. This should eliminate pool starvation problems
3387 arising when "INIT" clients were given new leases rather than presently
3388 active ones.
3389
02428754 3390 Changes since 3.0.5rc1
0a73b7b6 3391
901306d5 3392- A bug was repaired in fixes to the dhclient, which sought to run the
0a73b7b6
SK
3393 dhclient-script with the 'EXPIRE' state should it receive a NAK in
3394 response to a REQUEST. The client now iterates the PREINIT state
3395 after the EXPIRE state, so that interfaces that might be configured
3396 'down' can be brought back 'up' and initialized.
3397
87a08ccc
DH
3398- DHCPINFORM handling for clients that properly set ciaddr and come to the
3399 server via a relay aget has been repaired.
3400
6da113fb
DH
3401 Changes since 3.0.4
3402
3403- A warning that host statements declared within subnet or shared-network
3404 scopes are actually global has been added.
3405
3406- The default minimum lease time (if min-lease-time was not specified)
3407 was raised from 0 to 300. 0 is not thought to be sensible, and is
3408 known to be damaging.
3409
3410- Added additional fatal error sanity checks surrounding lease binding
3411 state count calculations (free/active counts used for failover pool
3412 balancing).
3413
dcc557db
DH
3414- Some time value size fixes in 3.0.4 brought on from FreeBSD /usr/ports were
3415 misapplied to server values rather than client values. The server no longer
3416 advertises 8-byte lease-time options when on 64-bit platforms.
3417
1b2ab55f
DH
3418- A bug where leases not in ACTIVE state would get billed to billed classes
3419 (classes with lease limitations) was fixed. Non-active leases OFFERed
3420 to clients are no longer billed (but billing is checked before offering).
3421
e48891e8
DH
3422- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated in regard to the ddns-domainname
3423 configuration option - the default configuration and results should be
3424 more clear now.
3425
6cbc6629
DH
3426- If the dhclient were to receive a DHCPNAK while it was in the RENEW
3427 state (and consequently, had an active, 'bound' address and related
3428 configuration options), it would fail to 'tear down' this information
3429 before proceeding into INIT state. dhclient now iterates the dhclient-
3430 script with the 'EXPIRE' action to cause these teardowns prior to entering
1d3bfb17 3431 INIT state. Thanks to a patch from Chris Zimmerman.
6cbc6629 3432
c5fec5fa
DH
3433- The omapi.1 manpage had some formatting errors repaired thanks to a patch
3434 from Yoshihiko Sarumaru.
3435
33e1cb2b
DH
3436- A few lines of code that were failover-specific were moved within
3437 #if defined() clauses so that compilation without failover could be
3438 made possible.
3439
2bddf829
DH
3440- The log message emitted when the 'leased-address' value was not available
3441 in dhcpd.conf "executable statements" has been updated to be more helpful.
3442 Manpage information for this value has also been updated.
3443
87578987
DH
3444- Abandoned or dissociated (err condition) leases now remove any related
3445 dynamic dns bindings. Thanks to a patch from Patrick Schoo.
3446
e77c575f
DH
3447- Attempting to write a new lease file to replace a corrupt (due to
3448 encountering non-retryable errors during writing) lease file should
3449 no longer result in an infinite recursion.
3450
2178df03
DH
3451- Host declaration hardware addresses and client identifiers may only be
3452 configured once. dhcpd will now fail to load config files that specify
3453 multiple identifiers (previous versions would silently over-ride the
3454 value with the later configured value).
3455
d5341d9b
SK
3456- Several option codes that have been allocated since our last release
3457 have been named and documented.
3458
3459- Option names of the form "unknown-123" have been removed from the in-
3460 memory hash tables. In order to support options of these names that
3461 may appear in dhclient.leases or similar in previous versions, the
3462 parser will now find the new option code definition, or mock up a
3463 generic option code definition. This should result in a smooth
3464 transition from one name to the other, as the new name is used to
3465 write new output.
3466
6da113fb
DH
3467 Changes since 3.0.4rc1
3468
3469- The dhcp-options.5 manpage was updated to correct indentation errors
3470 thanks to a patch from Jean Delvare.
3471

3475 mailing list.
3476
88cd8aca
DH
3477 Changes since 3.0.4b2
3478
45d545f0 3479- Null-termination sensing for certain clients that unfortunately require
88cd8aca
DH
3480 it in DHCPINFORM processing was repaired.
3481
3482- The host-name option and a few others were moved from "X" format to "t"
3483 format to be compatible with new NULL handling functions.
3484
3485- DHCPINFORM processing is a little more careful about return addressing
3486 its responses, or if responding via a relay. The INFORM related
3487 messages also log the 'effective client ip address' rather than the
3488 client's supplied ciaddr (since some clients produce null ciaddrs).
3489
3490- The server was inappropriately sending leases to the RESET state in the
3491 event that multiple active leases were found to match a singly-identified
3492 client. This was changed to RELEASED (by accepting a different, ACTIVE
3493 binding, the client is implicitly releasing its lease). This repairs a
3494 bug wherein secondary servers in failover pairs detecting this condition
3495 move leases to RESET, and primaries refuse to accept that state
3496 transition (properly).
3497
3498- The memset-after-dmalloc() changes made in 3.0.4b1 have been backed out.
3499
3500 Changes since 3.0.4b1
3501
3502- Command line parsing in omshell was repaired - it no longer closes
3503 STDIN after reading one line.
3504
3505- The resolver library no longer closes the /etc/resolv.conf file
3506 descriptor it opened twice.
3507
3508- Changes to trailing NULL removal in 't' option-atoms has been rethought,
3509 it now includes 'd' (domain name) types, and tries hard not to rewind an
3510 option beyond the start of the text field it is un-terminating.
3511
3512 Changes since 3.0.3
3513
3514- A DDNS update handling function was misusing the DNS error codes, rather
3515 than the internal generic result enumeration. The result is a confusing
3516 syslog line, logging the wrong condition.
3517
3518- The DHCP Server was not checking pool balance in the case where it brought
3519 a non-ACTIVE lease out of storage for a client that was returning to use
3520 a lease it once had long ago, and had since expired.
3521
3522- Failover peers no longer bother to look for free leases to allocate when
3523 they already found the client's ACTIVE lease. DISCOVERs are load balanced
98bd7ca0 3524 whether freely-allocated or not, unless the server doubts the peer has
88cd8aca
DH
3525 leases to allocate.
3526
3527- Fixed a bug in dhcrelay agent addition code that suppressed trailing
45d545f0 3528 PAD options - it was suppressing only one trailing PAD option, rather
88cd8aca
DH
3529 than the entire block of them.
3530
3a16098f
DH
3531! Fixed some unlikely overlapping-region memcpy() bugs in dhcrelay agent
3532 option addition and stripping code. Added a few sanity checks. Although
3533 highly improbable, due to requiring the reception of a DHCP datagram well
3534 in excess of all known to be used physical MTU limitations, it is possible
3535 this may have been used in a stack overflow security vulnerability. Thanks
3536 to a patch from infamous42md.
3537
3538! Added some sanity checks to OMAPI connection/authentication code.
3539 Although highly improbable, due to having to deliver in excess of 2^32
3540 bytes of data via the OMAPI channel, not to mention requiring dhcpd to
3541 be able to malloc() a memory region 2^32 bytes in size, it was possible
3542 this might have resulted in a heap overflow security vulnerability.
3543 Thanks to a patch from infamous42md.
88cd8aca
DH
3544
3545- dmalloc() memset()'s the non-debug (data) portion of the allocated
3546 memory to zero. Code that memset()'s the result returned by dmalloc() to
3547 zero is redundant. These redundancies were removed.
3548
3549- Some type declaration corrections to u_int16_t were made in common/tr.c
4b97eaff 3550 (Token Ring support) thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
88cd8aca
DH
3551
3552- A failover bug that was allowing leases that EXPIRED or were RELEASED
3553 where tsfp and tstp are identical timestamps to languish in these
3554 transitional states has been repaired. As a side effect, lease
3555 databases should be kept more consistent overall, not just for these
3556 transitional states.
3557
3558- If the lease db is deleted out from under the daemon, and it moves to rewrite
3559 the db, it will go ahead with the operation and move the new db into place
3560 once it detects the old db does not exist.
3561
3562- dhclient now ignores IRDA, SIT, and IEEE1394 network interfaces, as it
3563 is either nonsensical or (in the case of IEEE1394) is not known to support
3564 these interfaces. Thanks to Marius Gedminas and Andrew Pollock of Debian.
3565
3566- Some previously undocumented reasons for dhclient-script invoking has
45d545f0 3567 been documented in the dhclient-script.8 manpage.
88cd8aca
DH
3568
3569- Failover potential expiry calculations (TSTP) have been corrected. Results
3570 should be substantially more consistent, and proper given the constraints.
3571
3572- Adjusted lease state validation checks in potential-conflict, to
3573 account for possible clock skew similarly to normal state, and several
3574 previously illegal transitions were made legal (ex: active->released).
3575
3576- An impossible sanity check was removed from omapi/buffer.c, thanks to a
3577 patch from 'infamous42md'.
3578
3579- An OMAPI host/network byte order problem in lease time values has been
3580 repaired.
3581
3582- Several minor bugs, largely relating to treating 8-byte time values as
3583 4-byte entities, have been repaired after careful review of the FreeBSD
3584 ports collection's patch set. Thanks to the nameless entities who have
3585 contributed to the FreeBSD ports.
3586
3587- When writing a trace file, the file is now created with permissions 0600,
3588 to help administrators avoid accidentally publicising sensitive config
3589 data.
3590
3591- The calculation of the maximum size of DHCP packets no longer includes
3592 Ethernet framing overhead. The result is that the 'Maximum Message
3593 Size' option advertised by clients, or the default value 576, is no
3594 longer reduced by 14 bytes, and instead directly reflects the IP level
3595 MTU (and the default, minimum allowed IP MTU of 576).
3596
3597- The special status of RELEASED/EXPIRED/RESET leases when a server
3598 is operating in partner-down was fixed. It no longer requires a
3599 lease be twice the MCLT beyond STOS to 'reallocate', and the expiry
3600 event to turn these into FREE leases without peer acknowledgement
3601 (after STOS+MCLT) has been repaired.
3602
3603- Compilation on older Solaris systems (lacking /usr/include/sys/int_types.h)
3604 has been repaired.
3605
3606- "append"ing a string onto the end of a "t" type option (such as the
3607 domain-name field) that had been improperly NULL-terminated by the
3608 DHCP server will no longer result in a truncated string containing
3609 only the option from the server, and not the expected appended value.
4b97eaff 3610 Thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
88cd8aca
DH
3611
3612- File handlers on configuration state (config files and lease dbs) should
98bd7ca0 3613 be treated consistently, regardless of whether TRACING is defined or not.
88cd8aca 3614
45d545f0 3615- The Linux build environment has had some minor improvements - better
88cd8aca
DH
3616 sensing of 64-bit pointer sizes (only used for establishing an icmp_id),
3617 and corrections to #if operators regarding LINUX_MAJOR should it ever
3618 move to 3.[01].x.
3619
3620- The server now tries harder to survive the condition where it is unable
3621 to open a new lease file to rewrite the lease state database.

3626 discussion on the dhcp-hackers mailing list.
3627
3628- In response to reports that the software does not compile on GCC 4.0.0,
3629 -Werror was removed from Makefile.conf for all platforms that used it.
3630 We will address the true problem in a future release; this is a temporary
3631 workaround.

3635- An error in code changes introduced in 3.0.3b2 was corrected, which caused
3636 static BOOTP clients to receive random addresses.
3637
3638 Changes since 3.0.3b1
3639
3640- A bug was fixed in BOOTPREQUEST handling code wherein stale references to
3641 host records would be left behind on leases that were not allocated to the
3642 client currently booting (eg in the case where the host was denied booting).
3643
3644- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated to be more clear in regards to
3645 multiple host declarations (thanks to Vincent McIntyre). 'Interim' style
3646 dynamic updates were also retouched.
3647
98311e4b
DH
3648 Changes since 3.0.2
3649
3650- A bug was fixed where a server might load balance a DHCP REQUEST to its
45d545f0 3651 peer after already choosing not to load balance the preceding DISCOVER.
98311e4b
DH
3652 The peer cannot allocate the originating server's lease.
3653
3654- In the case where a secondary server lost its stable storage while the
3655 primary was still in communications-interrupted, and came back online,
3656 the lease databases would not be fully transferred to the secondary.
3657 This was due to the secondary errantly sending an extra UPDREQ message
3658 when the primary made its state transition to PARTNER-DOWN known.
3659
3660- The package will now compile cleanly in gcc 3.3 and 3.4. As a side effect,
3661 lease structures will be 9 bytes smaller on all platforms. Thanks to
4b97eaff 3662 Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3663
3664- Interface discovery code in DISCOVER_UNCONFIGURED mode is now
3665 properly restricted to only detecting broadcast interfaces. Thanks
4b97eaff 3666 to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3667
3668- decode_udp_ip_header was changed so that the IP address was copied out
3669 to a variable, rather than referenced by a pointer. This enforces 4-byte
3670 alignment of the 32-bit IP address value. Thanks to a patch from Dr.
3671 Peter Poeml.
3672
3673- An incorrect log message was corrected thanks to a patch from
3674 Dr. Peter Poeml.
3675
3676- A bug in DDNS was repaired, where if the server's first DDNS action was
3677 a DDNS removal rather than a DDNS update, the resolver library's
3678 retransmit timer and retry timer was set to the default, implying a
3679 15 second timeout interval. Which is a little excessive in a synchronous,
3680 single-threaded system. In all cases, ISC DHCP should now hold fast to
3681 a 1-second timeout, trying only once.
3682
3683- The siaddr field was being improperly set to the server-identifier when
3684 responding to DHCP messages. RFC2131 clarified the siaddr field as
3685 meaning the 'next server in the bootstrap process', eg a tftp server.
3686 The siaddr field is now left zeroed unless next-server is configured.
3687
3688- mockup_lease() could have returned in an error condition (or in the
3689 condition where no fixed-address was found matching the shared
3690 network) with stale references to a host record. This is probably not
3691 a memory leak since host records generally never die anyway.
3692
3693- A bug was repaired where failover servers would let stale client identifiers
3694 persist on leases that were reallocated to new clients not sending an id.
3695
3696- Binding scopes ("set var = value;") are now removed from leases allocated
3697 by failover peers if the lease had expired. This should help reduce the
3698 number of stale binding scopes on leases.
3699
3700- A small memory leak was closed involving client identifiers larger than
3701 7 bytes, and failover.
3702
3703- Configuring a subnet in dhcpd.conf with a subnet mask of 32 bits might
3704 cause an internal function to overflow heap. Thanks to Jason Vas Dias
4b97eaff 3705 at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3706
3707- Some inconsistencies in treating numbers that the lexer parsed as 'NUMBER'
3708 or 'NUMBER_OR_NAME' was repaired. Hexadecimal parsing is affected, and
3709 should work better.
3710
3711- In several cases, parse warnings were being issued before the lexical
3712 token had been advanced to the token whose value was causing an error...
3713 causing parse warnings to claim the problem is on the wrong token.
3714
3715- Host declarations matching on client identifier for dynamic leases will
3716 no longer match fixed-address host declarations (this is now identical
3717 to behaviour for host records matching on hardware address).
3718
3719 Changes since 3.0.2rc3
3720
3721- A previously undocumented configuration directive, 'local-address',
3722 was documented in the dhcpd.conf manpage.
3723
3724 Changes since 3.0.2rc2
3725
45d545f0 3726- Two variables introduced in 3.0.2b1 were used without being initialized
98311e4b
DH
3727 in the case where neither the FILE nor SNAME fields were available for
3728 overloading. This was repaired.
3729
3730- A heretofore believed to be impossible corner case of the option
3731 overloading implementation turned out to be possible ("Unable to sort
3732 overloaded options after 10 tries."). The implementation was reworked
3733 to consider the case of an option so large it would require more than
3734 three chunks to fit.
3735
3736- Many other instances of variables being used without being initialized
3737 were repaired.
3738
3739- An uninitialized variable in omapi_io_destroy() led to the discovery
3740 that this function may result in orphaned pointers (and hence, a memory
3741 leak).
3742
3743 Changes since 3.0.2rc1
3744
3745- allocate_lease() was rewritten to repair a bug in which the server would
3746 try to allocate an ABANDONED lease when FREE leases were available.
3747
3748 Changes since 3.0.2b1
3749
3750- Some dhcp-eval.5 manpage formatting was repaired.
3751
3752 Changes since 3.0.1
3753
3754- A bug was fixed in the server's 'option overloading' implementation,
3755 where options loaded into the 'file' and 'sname' packet fields were
3756 not aligned precisely as rfc2131 dictates.
3757
3758- The FreeBSD client script was changed to support the case where a domain
3759 name was not provided by the server.
3760
3761- A memory leak in 'omshell' per each command line parsed was
3762 repaired, thanks to a patch from Jarkko Torppa.
3763
3764- Log functions writing to stderr were adjusted to use the STDERR_FILENO
3765 system definition rather than '2'. This is a no-op for 90% of platforms.
3766
3767- One call to trace_write_packet_iov() counted the number of io vectors
3768 incorrectly, causing inconsistent tracefiles. This was fixed.
3769
3770- Some expression parse failure memory leaks were closed.
3771
3772- A host byte order problem in tracefiles was repaired.
3773
3774- Pools configured in DHCPD for failover possessing permission lists that
adb95d23 3775 previously were assumed to not include dynamic bootp clients are now
98311e4b
DH
3776 a little more pessimistic. The result is, dhcpd will nag you about just
3777 about most pools that possess a 'allow' statement with no 'deny' that
3778 would definitely match a dynamic bootp client.
3779
3780- The 'ddns-update-style' configuration warning bit now insists that
3781 the configuration be globally scoped.
3782
3783- Two memory leaks in dhclient were closed thanks to a patch from Felix
3784 Farkas.
3785
3786- Some minor but excellently pedantic documentation errors were fixed
3787 thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
3788
3789- Bugs in operator precedence in executable statements have been repaired
3790 once again. More legal syntaxes should be parsed legally.
3791
3792- Failing to initialize a tracefile for any reason if a tracefile was
3793 specified is now a fatal error. Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
3794
3795- Corrected a bug in which the number of leases transferred as calculated
3796 by the failover primary and sent to peers in POOLRESP responses may be
3797 incorrect. This value is not believed to be used by other failover
3798 implementations, excepting perhaps as logged information.
3799
3800- Corrected a bug in which 'dhcp_failover_send_poolresp()' was in fact
3801 sending POOLREQ messages instead of POOLRESP mesasges. This message
3802 was essentially ignored since failover secondaries effectively do not
3803 respond to POOLREQ messages.
3804
3805- Type definitions for various bitwidths of integers in the sunos5-5
3806 build of ISC DHCP have been fixed. It should compile and run more
3807 easily when built in 64-bit for this platform.
3808
3809- "allow known-clients;" is now a legal syntax, to avoid confusion.
3810
3811- If one dhcp server chooses to 'load balance' a request to its failover
3812 peer, it first checks to see if it believes said peer has a free
3813 lease to allocate before ignoring the DISCOVER.
3814
3815- log() was logging a work buffer, rather than the value returned by
3816 executing the statements configured by the user. In some cases,
3817 the work buffer and the intended results were the same. In some other
3818 cases, they were not. This was fixed thanks to a patch from Gunnar
3819 Fjone and directconnect.no.
3820
3821- Compiler warnings for some string type conversions was fixed, thanks
3822 to Andreas Gustafsson.
3823
3824- The netbsd build environments were simplified to one, in which
3825 -Wconversion is not used, thanks to Andreas Gustafsson.
3826
3827- How randomness in the backoff-cutoff dhclient configuration variable
3828 is implemented was better documented in the manpage, and the behaviour
3829 of dhclient in REQUEST timeout handling was changed to match that of
3830 DISCOVER timeout handling.
3831
3832- Omapi was hardened against clients that pass in null values, thanks
3833 to a patch from Mark Jason Dominus.
3834
3835- A bug was fixed in dhclient that kept it from doing client-side
3836 ddns updates. Thanks to a patch from Andreas Gustafsson, which
3837 underwent some modification after review by Jason Vas Dias.
3838
3839- Failover implementations disconnected due to the network between
3840 them (rather than one of the two shutting down) will now try to
3841 re-establish the failover connection every 5 seconds, rather than
3842 to simply try once and give up until one of them is restarted.
3843 Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from Infoblox, and field testing
3844 by Greger V. Teigre which led to an enhancement to it.
3845
3846- A problem that kept DHCP Failover secondaries from tearing down
3847 ddns records was repaired. Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from
3848 Infoblox.
3849
3850- 64bit pointer sizes are detected properly on FreeBSD now.
3851
3852- A bug was repaired where the DHCP server would leave stale references
3853 to host records on leases it once thought about offering to certain
3854 clients. The result would be to apply host and 'known' scopes to the
3855 wrong clients (possibly denying booting). NOTE: The 'mis-host' patch
3856 that was being circulated as a workaround is not the way this bug was
3857 fixed. If you were a victim of this bug in 3.0.1, you are cautioned
3858 to proceed carefully and see if it fixes your problem.
3859
3860- A bug was repaired in the server's DHCPINFORM handling, where it
3861 tried to divine the client's address from the source packet and
3862 would get it wrong. Thanks to Anshuman Singh Rawat.
3863
3864- A log message was introduced to help illuminate the case where the
3865 server was unable to find a lease to assign to any BOOTP client.
3866 Thanks to Daniel Baker.
3867
3868- A minor dhcpd.conf.5 manpage error was fixed.
3869
3870 Changes since 3.0.1rc14
3871
3872- The global variable 'cur_time' was centralized and is now uniformly of a
3873 type #defined in system-dependent headers. It had previously been defined
3874 in one of many places as a 32-bit value, and this causes mayhem on 64-bit
3875 big endian systems. It probably wasn't too healthy on little endian
3876 systems either.
3877
3878- A printf format string error introduced in rc14 was repaired.
3879
3880- AIX system-dependent header file was altered to only define NO_SNPRINTF
3881 if the condition used to #ifdef in vsnprintf in AIX' header files
3882 is false.
3883
3884- The Alpha/OSF system-dependent header file was altered to define
3885 NO_SNPRINTF on OS revisions older than 4.0G.
3886
3887- omapip/test.c had string.h added to its includes.
3888
3889 Changes since 3.0.1rc13
3890
3891! CAN-2004-0460 - CERT VU#317350: Five stack overflow exploits were closed
3892 in logging messages with excessively long hostnames provided by the
3893 clients. It is highly probable that these could have been used by
3894 attackers to gain arbitrary root access on systems using ISC DHCP 3.0.1
3895 release candidates 12 or 13. Special thanks to Gregory Duchemin for
3896 both finding and solving the problem.
3897
3898! CAN-2004-0461 - CERT VU#654390: Once the above was closed, an opening
45d545f0 3899 in log_*() functions was evidenced, on some specific platforms where
98311e4b
DH
3900 vsnprintf() was not believed to be available and calls were wrapped to
3901 sprintf() instead. Again, credit goes to Gregory Duchemin for finding
3902 the problem. Calls to snprintf() are now linked to a distribution-local
3903 snprintf implementation, only in those cases where the architecture is
3904 not known to provide one (see includes/cf/[arch].h). If you experience
3905 linking problems with snprintf/vsnprintf or 'isc_print_' functions, this
3906 is where to look. This vulnerability did not exist in any previously
3907 published version of ISC DHCP.
3908
3909- Compilation on hpux 11.11 was repaired.
3910
3911- 'The cross-compile bug fix' was backed out.
3912
3913 Changes since 3.0.1rc12
3914
3915- Fixed a bug in omapi lease lookup function, to form the hardware
3916 address for the hash lookup correctly, thanks to a patch from
3917 Richard Hirst.
3918
3919- Fixed a bug where dhcrelay was sending relayed responses back to the
3920 broadcast address, but with the source's unicast mac address. Should
3921 now conform to rfc2131 section 4.1.
3922
3923- Cross-compile bug fix; use $(AR) instead of ar. Thanks to Morten Brorup.
3924
3925- Fixed a crash bug in dhclient where dhcpd servers that do not provide
3926 renewal times results in an FPE. As a side effect, dhclient can now
3927 properly handle 0xFFFFFFFF (-1) expiry times supplied by servers. Thanks
3928 to a patch from Burt Silverman.
3929
3930- The 'ping timeout' debugs from rc12 were removed to -DDEBUG only,
45d545f0 3931 and reformatted to correct a compilation error on Solaris platforms.
98311e4b
DH
3932
3933- A patch was applied which fixes a case where leases read from the
3934 leases database do not properly over-ride previously read leases.
3935
3936- dhcpctl.3 manpage was tweaked.
3937
3938 Changes since 3.0.1rc11
3939
3940- A patch from Steve Campbell was applied with minor modifications to
3941 permit reverse dns PTR record updates with values containing spaces.
3942
3943- A patch from Florian Lohoff was applied with some modifications to
3944 dhcrelay. It now discards packets whose hop count exceeds 10 by default,
3945 and a command-line option (-c) can be used to set this threshold.
3946
3947- A failover bug relating to identifying peers by name length instead of
3948 by name was fixed.
3949
45d545f0 3950- Declaring failover configs within shared-network statements should no
98311e4b
DH
3951 longer result in error.
3952
3953- The -nw command line option to dhclient now works.
3954
3955- Thanks to a patch from Michael Richardson:
3956 - Some problems with long option processing have been fixed.
3957 - Some fixes to minires so that updates of KEY records will work.
3958
3959- contrib/ms2isc was updated by Shu-Min Chang of the Intel Corporation.
3960 see contrib/ms2isc/readme.txt for revision notes.
3961
3962- Dhclient no longer uses shell commands to kill another instance of
3963 itself, it sends the signal directly. Thanks to a patch from Martin
3964 Blapp.
3965
3966- The FreeBSD dhclient-script was changed so that a failure to write to
3967 /etc/resolv.conf does not prematurely end the script. This keeps dhclient
3968 from looping infinitely when this is the case. Thanks to a patch from
3969 Martin Blapp.
3970
3971- A patch from Bill Stephens was applied which resolves a problem with lease
3972 expiry times in failover configurations.
3973
3974- A memory leak in configuration parsing was closed thanks to a patch from
3975 Steve G.
3976
3977- The function which discovers interfaces will now skip non-broadcast or
3978 point-to-point interfaces, thanks to a patch from David Brownlee.
3979
3980- Options not yet known by the dhcpd or dhclient have had their names
3981 changed such that they do not contain # symbols, in case they should ever
3982 appear in a lease file. An option that might have been named "#144" is
3983 now "unknown-144".
3984
3985- Another patch from Bill Stephens which allows the ping-check timeout to
3986 be configured as 'ping-timeout'. Defaults to 1.
3987
3988 Changes since 3.0.1rc10
3989
3990- Potential buffer overflows in minires repaired.
3991
3992- A change to the linux client script to use /bin/bash, since /bin/sh may
3993 not be bash.
3994
3995- Some missing va_end cleanups thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
3996
3997- A correction of boolean parsing syntax validation - some illegal syntaxes
3998 that worked before are now detected and produce errs, some legal syntaxes
3999 that errored before will now work properly.
4000
4001- Some search-and-replace errors that caused some options to change their
4002 names was repaired.
4003
4004- Shu-min Chang of the Intel corporation has contributed a perl script and
4005 module that converts the MS NT4 DHCP configuration to a ISC DHCP3
4006 configuration file.
4007
4008- Applied the remainder of the dhcpctl memory leak patch provided by Bill
4009 Squier at ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
4010
4011- Missing non-optional failover peer configurations will now result in a soft
4012 error rather than a null dereference.
4013
4014 Changes since 3.0.1rc9
4015
4016- A format string was corrected to fix compiler warnings.
4017
4018- A number of spelling corrections were made in the man pages.
4019
4020- The dhclient.conf.5 man page was changed to refer to do-forward-updates
4021 rather than a configuration option that doesn't exist.
4022
4023- A FreeBSD-specific bug in the interface removal handling was fixed.
4024
4025- A Linux-specific Token Ring detection problem was fixed.
4026
4027- Hashes removed from as-yet-unknown agent options, having those options
4028 appear in reality before we know about them will no longer produce
4029 self-corrupting lease databases.
4030
4031- dhclient will use the proper port numbers now when using the -g option.
4032
4033- A order-of-operations bug with 2 match clauses in 1 class statement is
4034 fixed thanks to a patch from Andrew Matheson.
4035
4036- Compilation problems on Solaris were fixed.
4037
4038- Compilation problems when built with DEBUG or DEBUG_PACKET were repaired.
4039
4040- A fix to the dhcp ack process which makes certain group options will be
4041 included in the first DHCPOFFER message was made thanks to a patch from
4042 Ling Gou.
4043
4044- A few memory leaks were repaired thanks to patches from Bill Squier at
4045 ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
4046
4047- A fix for shared-networks that sometimes give clients options for the
4048 wrong subnets (in particular, 'option routers') was applied, thanks to
4049 Ted Lemon for the patch.
4050
4051- Omshell's handling of dotted octets as values was changed such that dots
4052 one after the other produce zero values in the integer string.
4053
4054 Changes since 3.0.1rc8
4055
4056- Fix a format string vulnerability in the server that could lead to a
4057 remote root compromise (discovered by NGSEC Research Team, www.ngsec.com).
4058
4059- Add additional support for NetBSD/sparc64.
4060
4061- Fix a bug in the command-line parsing of the client. Also, resolve
4062 a memory leak.
4063
4064- Add better support for shells other than bash in the Linux client
4065 script.
4066
4067- Various build fixes for modern versions of FreeBSD and Linux.
4068
4069- Fix a bad bounds check when printing binding state names.
4070
4071- Clarify documentation about fixed-address and multiple addresses.
4072
4073- Fix a typo in the authoritative error message.
4074
4075- Make a log entry when we can't write a billing class.
4076
4077- Use conversion targets that are the right size on all architectures.
4078
4079- Increment the hop count when relaying.
4080
4081- Log a message when lease state is changed through OMAPI.
4082
4083- Don't rerun the shared_network when evaluating the pool.
4084
4085- Fix a reversed test in the parser.
4086
4087- Change the type of rbuf_max.
4088
4089- Make FTS_LAST a manifest constant to quiet warnings.
4090
4091 Changes since 3.0.1rc7
4092
4093- Fix two compiler warnings that are generated when compiling on Solaris
4094 with gcc. These stop the build, even though they weren't actually
4095 errors, because we prefer that our builds generate no warnings.
4096
4097 Changes since 3.0.1rc6
4098
4099- Don't allow a lease that's in the EXPIRED, RELEASED or RESET state
4100 to be renewed.
4101
4102- Implement lease stealing for cases where the primary has fewer leases
4103 than the secondary, as called for by the standard.
4104
4105- Add a fudge factor to the lease expiry acceptance code, (suggested
4106 by Kevin Miller of CMU).
4107
4108- Fix a bug in permit_list_match that made it much too willing to say
4109 that two permit lists matched.
4110
4111- Unless DEBUG_DNS_UPDATES is defined, print more user-friendly (and
4112 also more compact) messages about DNS updates.
4113
4114- Fix a bug in generating wire-format domain names for the FQDN option.
4115
4116- Fix a bug where the FQDN option would not be returned if the client
4117 requested it, contrary to the standard.
4118
4119- On Darwin, use the FreeBSD DHCP client script.
4120
4121- On NetBSD/sparc, don't check for casting warnings.
4122
4123- Add a flag in the DHCP client to disable updating the client's A
4124 record when sending an FQDN option indicating that the client is
4125 going to update its A record.
4126
4127- In the client, don't attempt a DNS update until one second after
4128 configuring the new IP address, and if the update times out, keep
4129 trying until a response, positive or negative, is received from the
4130 DNS server.
4131
4132- Fix an uninitialized memory bug in the DHCP client.
4133
4134- Apply some FreeBSD-specific bug fixes suggested by Murray Stokely.
4135
4136- Fix a bug in ns_parserr(), where it was returning the wrong sort
4137 of result code in some cases (suggested by Ben Harris of the
4138 NetBSD project).
4139
4140- Fix a bug in is_identifier(), where it was checking against EOF
4141 instead of the END_OF_FILE token (also suggested by Ben Harris).
4142
4143- Fix a bug where if an option universe contained no options, the
4144 DHCP server could dump core (Walter Steiner).
4145
4146- Fix a bug in the handling of encapsulated options.
4147
4148- Fix a bug that prevented NWIP suboptions from being processed.
4149
4150- Delete the FTS_BOOTP and FTS_RESERVED states and implement them
4151 as modifier flags to the FTS_ACTIVE state, as called for in the
4152 failover protocol standard.
4153
4154- Fix bugs in the pool merging code that resulted in references and
4155 dereferences of null pointers. This bug had no impact unless the
4156 POINTER_DEBUG flag was defined.
4157
4158- In the server, added a do-forward-updates flag that can be used to
4159 disable forward updates in all cases, so that sites that want the
4160 clients to take sole responsibility for updating their A record can
4161 do so.
4162
4163- Make it possible to disable optimization of PTR record updates.
4164
4165 Changes since 3.0.1rc5
4166
4167- Include some new documentation and changes provided by Karl Auer.
4168
4169- Add a workaround for some Lexmark printers that send a double-NUL-
4170 terminated host-name option, which would break DNS updates.
4171
4172- Fix an off-by-one error in the MAC-address checking code for
4173 DHCPRELEASE that was added in 3.0.1rc5.
4174
4175- Fix a bug where client-specific information was not being discarded
4176 from the lease when it expired or was released, resulting in
4177 problems if the lease was reallocated to a different client.
4178
4179- If more than one allocation pool is specified that has the same set
4180 of constraints as another allocation pool on the same shared
4181 network, merge the two pools.
4182
4183- Don't print an error in fallback_discard, since this just causes
4184 confusion and does not appear to be helping to encourage anyone to
4185 fix this bug.
4186
4187 Changes since 3.0.1rc4
4188
4189- Fix a bug that would cause the DHCP server to spin if asked to parse
4190 a certain kind of incorrect statement.
4191
4192- Fix a related bug that would prevent an error from being reported in
4193 the same case.
4194
4195- Additional documentation.
4196
4197- Make sure that the hardware address matches the lease when
4198 processing a DHCPRELEASE message.
4199
4200 Changes since 3.0.1rc3
4201
4202- A minor bug fix in the arguments to a logging function call.
4203- Documentation update for dhcpd.conf.

DH
4206
4207- Allow the primary to send a POOLREQ message. This isn't what the current
4208 failover draft says to do, so we may have to back it out if I can't get the
4209 authors to relent, but the scheme for balancing that's specified in the
4210 current draft seems needlessly hairy, so I'm floating a trial balloon.
4211 The rc1 code did not implement the method described in the draft either.
4212
adbef119 4213 Changes since 3.0.1rc1
98311e4b
DH
4214
4215- Treat NXDOMAIN and NXRRSET as success when we are trying to delete a
4216 domain or RRSET. This allows the DHCP server to forget about a name
4217 it added to the DNS once it's been removed, even if the DHCP server
4218 wasn't the one that removed it.
4219
4220- Install defaults for failover maximum outstanding updates and maximum
4221 silent time. This prevents problems that might occur if these values
4222 were not configured.
4223
4224- Don't do DDNS deletes if ddns-update-style is none.
4225
4226- Return relay agent information options in DHCPNAK. This prevents DHCPNAK
4227 messages from being dropped when the relay agent information option contains
4228 routing information.
4229
4230- Fix a problem where coming up in recover wouldn't result in an update
4231 request being sent.
4232
4233- Add some more chatty messages when we start a recovery update and when it's
4234 done.
4235
4236- Fix a possible problem where some state might have been left around
4237 after the peer lost contact and regained contact about how many updates
4238 were pending.
4239
4240- Don't nix a lease update because of a lease conflict. This test has
4241 never (as far as I know) prevented a mistake, and it appears to cause
4242 problems with failover.
4243
4244- Add support in rc history code for keeping a selective history, rather
4245 than a history of all references and dereferences. This code is only used
4246 when extensive additional debugging is enabled.
4247

DH
4249
4250- Make allocators for hash tables. As a side effect, this fixes a memory
4251 smash in the subclass allocation code.
4252
4253- Fix a small bug in omshell where if you try to close an object when
4254 no object is open, it dumps core.
4255
4256- Fix an obscure coredump that could occur on shutdown.
4257
4258- Fix a bug in the recording of host declaration rubouts in the lease file.
4259
4260- Fix two potential spins in the host deletion code.
4261
4262- Fix a core dump that would happen if an application tried to update
4263 a host object attribute with a null value.
4264
4265 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 12
4266
4267- Fix a memory leak in the evaluation code.
4268
4269- Fix an obscure core dump.
4270
4271- Print a couple of new warnings when parsing the configuration file
4272 when crucial information is left out.
4273
4274- Log "no free leases" as an error.
4275
4276- Documentation updates.
4277
4278 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 11
4279
4280- Always return a subnet selection option if one is sent.
4281
4282- Fix a warning that was being printed because an automatic data
4283 structure wasn't zeroed.
4284
4285- Fix some failover state transitions that were being handled
4286 incorrectly.
4287
4288- When supersede_lease is called on a lease whose end time has already
4289 expired, but for which a state transition has not yet been done, do
4290 a state transition. This fixes the case where if the secondary
4291 allocated a lease to a client and the lease "expired" while the
4292 secondary was in partner-down, no expiry event would actually
4293 happen, so the lease would remain active until the primary was
4294 restarted.
4295
4296 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 10
4297
4298- Fix a bug that was preventing released leases from changing state
4299 in failover-enabled pools.
4300
4301- Fix a core dump in the client identifier finder code (for host
4302 declarations).
4303
4304- Finish fixing a bug where bogus data would sometimes get logged to
4305 the dhclient.leases file because it was opened as descriptor 2.
4306
4307- Fix the Linux dhclient-script according to suggestions made by
4308 several people on the dhcp-client mailing list.
4309
4310- Log successful DNS updates at LOG_INFO, not LOG_ERROR.
4311
4312- Print an error message and refuse to run if a failover peer is
4313 defined but not referenced by any pools.
4314

4329 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8 Patchlevel 1
4330
4331- Fix a parsing bug that broke dns updates (both interim and ad-hoc).
4332 This was introduced in rc8pl1 as an unintended result of the memory
4333 leakage fixes that were in pl1.
4334
4335- Fix a long-standing bug where the server would record that an update
4336 had been done for a client with no name, even though no update had
4337 been done, and then when the client's lease expired the deletion of
4338 that nonexistant record would time out because the name was the null
9a111ee8 4339 string.
d758ad8c

4346 one-lease-per-client was enabled.
4347
4348- Fix a bug that was causing core dumps on BSD/os in the presence of
4349 malformed packets.
4350
4351- In partner-down state, don't restrict lease lengths to MCLT.
4352
4353- On the failover secondary, record the MCLT received from the primary
4354 so that if we come up without a connection to the primary we don't
4355 wind up giving out zero-length leases.
4356
4357- Fix some compilation problems on BSD/os.
4358
4359- Fix a bunch of memory leaks.
4360
4361- Fix a couple of bugs in the option printer.
4362
4363- Fix an obscure error reporting bug in the dns update code, and also
4364 make the message clearer when a key algorithm isn't supported.
4365
4366- Fix a bug in the tracing code that prevented trace runs that used
4367 tcp connections from being played back.
4368
4369- Add some additional debugging capability for catching memory leaks
4370 on exit.
4371
4372- Make the client release the lease correctly on shutdown.
4373
4374- Add some configurability to the build system.
4375
4376- Install omshell manual page in man1, not man8.
4377
4378- Craig Gwydir sent in a patch that fixes a long-standing bug in the
4379 DHCP client that could cause core dumps, but that for some reason
4380 hadn't been noticed until now.
4381
4382 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 7
4383
4384- Fix a bug in failover where we weren't sending updates after a
4385 transition from communications-interrupted to normal.
4386
4387- Handle expired/released/reset -> free transition according to the
4388 protocol specification (this works - the other way not only wasn't
4389 conformant, but also didn't work).
4390
4391- Add a control object in both client and server that allows either
4392 daemon to be shut down cleanly.
4393
4394- When writing a lease, if we run out of disk space, shut down the
4395 output file and insist on writing a new one before proceeding.
4396
4397- In the server, if the OMAPI listener port is occupied, keep trying
4398 to get it, rather than simply giving up and exiting.
4399
4400- Support fetching variables from leases and also updating and adding
4401 variables to leases via OMAPI.
4402
4403- If two failover peers have wildly different clocks, refuse to start
4404 doing failover.
4405
4406- Fix a bug in the DNS update code that could cause core dumps when
4407 running on alpha processors.
4408
4409- Fixed a bug in ddns updates for static lease entries, thanks to a
4410 patch from Andrey M Linkevitch.
4411
4412- Add support for Darwin/MacOS X
4413
4414- Install omshell (including new documentation).
4415
4416- Support DNS updates in the client (this is a very obscure feature
4417 that most DHCP client users probably will not be able to use).
4418
4419- Somewhat cleaner status logging in the client.
4420
4421- Make OMAPI key naming syntax compatible with the way keys are
4422 actually named (key names are domain names).
4423
4424- Fix a bug in the lease file writer.
4425
4426- Install DHCP ISC headers in a different place than BIND 9 ISC
4427 headers, to avoid causing trouble in BIND 9 builds.
4428
4429- Don't send updates for attributes on an object when the attributes
4430 haven't changed. Support deleting attributes on remote objects.
4431
4432- Fix a number of bugs in omshell, and add the unset and refresh
4433 statements.
4434
4435- Handle disconnects in OMAPI a little bit more intelligently (so that
4436 the caller gets ECONNRESET instead of EINVAL).
4437
4438- Fix a bunch of bugs in the handling of clients that have existing
4439 leases when the try to renew their leases while failover is
4440 operating.

4444- Fix a core dump that could happen when processing a DHCPREQUEST from
4445 a client that had a host declaration that contained both a
4446 fixed-address declaration and a dhcp-client-identifier option
4447 declaration, if the client identifier was longer than nine bytes.
4448
4449- Fix a memory leak that could happen in certain obscure cases when
4450 using omapi to manipulate leases.
4451

4457 chains from having their reference counts decreased on dereference.
4458
4459- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that would prevent object
4460 chains from being freed upon removal of the last reference external
4461 to the chain.
4462
4463- Fix a number of other memory leaks in the OMAPI protocol subsystem.
4464

4479 DHCPDECLINE.
4480
4481- Fix failover peer OMAPI support.
4482
4483- In failover, correctly handle expiration of leases. Previously,
4484 leases would never be reclaimed because they couldn't make the
4485 transition from EXPIRED to FREE.
4486
4487- Fix some broken failover state transitions.
4488
4489- Documentation fixes.
4490
4491- Take out an unnecessary check in DHCP relay agent information option
4492 stashing code that was preventing REBINDING clients from rebinding.
4493
4494- Prevent failover peers from allocating leases in DHCPREQUEST
4495 processing if the lease belongs to the other server.
4496
4497- Record server version in lease file introductory comment.
4498
4499- Correctly report connection errors in OMAPI and failover.
4500
4501- Make authentication signature algorithm name comparisons in OMAPI
4502 case-insensitive.
4503
4504- Fix compile problem on SunOS 4.x
4505
98311e4b 4506- If a signature algorithm is not terminated with '.', terminate it so
eaf0b302
TL
4507 that comparisons between fully-qualified names will work
4508 consistently.
4509
4510- Different SIOCGIFCONF probe code, may "fix" problem on some Linux
4511 systems with the probe not working correctly.

4517- Do lease billing on startup in a way that I *think* will finally do
4518 the billing correctly - the previous method could overbill as a
4519 result of duplicate leases.

4526 Herranz for figuring out the main problem.

4529 core dumps.

4532 Friedrich.

4534- Fix a bug in lease billing, thanks to Jonas Bulow.
4535
4536 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 2
4537
4538- Change the conditions under which a DHCPRELEASE is actually
4539 committed to be consistent with lease binding states rather than
98311e4b 4540 using the lease end time. This may fix some problems with the
892fe689
TL
4541 billing class code.
4542
4543- Fix a bug where lease updates would fail on Digital Unix (and maybe
4544 others) because malloc was called with a size of zero.
4545
4546- Fix a core dump that happens when the DHCP server can't create its
4547 trace file.

79ea3de8 4549 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 1 Patchlevel 1
87784777 4550
79ea3de8
TL
4551- Fix the dhcp_failover_put_message to not attempt to allocate a
4552 zero-length buffer. Some versions of malloc() fail if you try to
4553 allocate a zero-length buffer, and this was causing problems on,
4554 e.g., Digital Unix.
4555
4556- Fix a case where the failover code was printing an error message
4557 when no error had occurred.
4558
4559- Fix a problem where when a server went down and back up again, the
4560 peer would not see a state transition and so would stay in the
4561 non-communicating state.
4562
4563- Be smart about going into recover_wait.
4564
4565- Fix a problem in the failover implementation where peers would fail
4566 to come into sync if interrupted in the RECOVER state. This could
4567 have been the cause of some problems people have reported recently.
4568
4569- Fix a problem with billing classes where they would not be unbilled
4570 when the client lease expired.
4571
4572- If select fails, figure out which descriptor is bad, and cut it out
4573 of the I/O loop. This prevents a potentially nasty spin. I
4574 haven't heard any report it in a while, but it came up consistently
4575 in testing.
4576
4577- Fix a bug in the relay agent where if you specified interfaces on
4578 the command line, it would fail.
4579
4580- Fix a couple of small bugs in the omapi connection object (no known
4581 user impact).
4582
4583- Add the missing 3.0 Beta 1 lease conversion script.
4584
4585- Read dhcp client script hooks if they exist, rather than only if
4586 they're executable.

4600 because of this bug. The bug should be straightforward to fix, so
4601 a new release candidate is expected shortly.

4627- Fix a bug in the DNS update code where a status code was not being
4628 checked. This may have been causing core dumps.
4629
4630- When parsing the lease file, if a lease declaration includes a
4631 billing class statement, and the lease already has a billing class,
4632 unbill the old class.
4633
4634- When processing failover transactions, where acks will be deferred,
4635 process the state transition immediately.
4636
4637- Don't try to use the new SIOCGIFCONF buffer size detection code on
4638 Linux 2.0, which doesn't provide this functionality.
4639
4640- Apply a patch suggested by Tuan Uong for a problem in dlpi.c.

4642- Fix a problem in using the which command in the configure script.
4643
4644- Fix a parse error in the client when setting up an omapi listener.
4645
4646- Document the -n and -g flags to the client.
4647
4648- Make sure there is always a stdin and stdout on startup. This
4649 prevents shell scripts from accidentally writing error messages into
4650 configuration files that happen to be opened as stderr.
4651
4652- If an interface is removed, the client will now notice that it is
4653 gone rather than spinning. This has only been tested on NetBSD.
4654
4655- The client will attempt to get an address even if it can't create a
4656 lease file.

4678 pl19.
4679

4681 previous fix only partially fixed the problem - enough to get it
4682 past the regression test.

4690 DHCPREQUEST.

4701 (Damien Neil)
4702
4703- Implement omshell, which can be used to do arbitrary things to the
4704 server (in theory). (Damien Neil)
4705
4706- Fix a case where if a client had two different leases the server could
4707 actually dereference the second one when it hadn't been referenced,
4708 leading to memory corruption and a core dump. (James Brister)
4709
4710- Fix a case where a client could request the address of another client's
4711 lease, but find_lease wouldn't detect that the other client had it, and
4712 would attempt to allocate it to the client, resulting in a lease conflict
4713 message.
4714
4715- Fix a case where a client with more than one client identifier could be
4716 given a lease where the hardware address was correct but the client
4717 identifier was not, resulting in a lease conflict message.
4718
98311e4b 4719- Fix a problem where the server could write out a colon-separated
3350f5b7
TL
4720 hex list as a value for a variable, which would then not parse.
4721 The fix is to always write strings as quoted strings, with any
4722 non-printable characters quoted as octal escape sequences. So
4723 a file written the old way still won't work, but new files written
4724 this way will work.

4726- Fix documentation for sending non-standard options.
4727
4728- Use unparsable names for unknown options. WARNING: this will
4729 break any configuration files that use the option-nnn convention.
4730 If you want to continue to use this convention for some options,
4731 please be sure to write a definition, like this:
4732
4733 option option-nnn code nnn = string;
4734
4735 You can use a descriptive name instead of option-nnn if you like.
4736
4737- Fix a problem where we would see a DHCPDISCOVER/DHCPOFFER/
4738 DHCPREQUEST/DHCPACK/DHCPREQUEST/DHCPNAK sequence. This was the
4739 result of a deceptively silly bug in supersede_lease.
4740

TL
4754- Add support for transaction tracing. This allows the state of the
4755 DHCP server on startup, and all the subsequent transactions, to be
4756 recorded in a file which can then be played back to reproduce the
4757 behaviour of the DHCP server. This can be used to quickly
4758 reproduce bugs that cause core dumps or corruption, and also for
4759 tracking down memory leaks.
4760
4761- Incorporate some bug fixes provided by Joost Mulders for the DLPI
4762 package which should clear up problems people have been seeing on
4763 Solaris.
4764
4765- Fix bugs in the handling of options stored as linked lists (agent
4766 options, fqdn options and nwip options) that could cause memory
4767 corruption and core dumps.
4768
4769- Fix a bug in DHCPREQUEST handling that resulted in DHCPNAK messages
4770 not being send in some cases when they were needed.
4771
4772- Make the lease structure somewhat more compact.
4773
4774- Make initial failover startup *much* faster. This was researched
4775 and implemented by Damien Neil.
4776
4777- Add a --version flag to all executables, which prints the program
4778 name and version to standard output.

4814
4815- Finish fixing a long-standing bug in the agent options code. This
4816 was causing core dumps and failing to operate correctly - in
4817 particular, agent option stashing wasn't working. Agent option
4818 stashing should now be working, meaning that agent options can be
4819 used in class statements to control address allocation.
4820
4821- Fix up documentation.

4824 significantly in a high-demand situation.

4828- Fix a compile error on some older operating systems.

4831 transmitting packets to the server. Handy for debugging; not much
4832 practical use otherwise.

4834- Don't send faked-out giaddr when renewing or bound - again, useful

4843- Work around the Win98 DHCP client, which NUL-terminates the FQDN
4844 option.

4846- Work around Win98 and Win2k clients that will claim they want to do
4847 the update even when they don't have any way to do it.
4848
4849- Fix some log messages that can be printed when failover is operating
4850 that were not printing enough information.
4851
4852- It was possible for a DHCPDISCOVER to get an allocation even when
4853 the state machine said the server shouldn't be responding.
4854
4855- Don't load balance DHCPREQUESTs from clients in RENEWING and
4856 REBINDING, since in RENEWING, if we heard it, it's for us, and in
4857 REBINDING, the client wouldn't have got to REBINDING if its primary
4858 were answering.

4861 the transition.

4870- Albert Herranz tracked down and fixed a subtle bug in the base64
4871 decoder that would prevent any key with an 'x' in its base64
4872 representation from working correctly.
4873
4874- Thanks to Chris Cheney and Michael Sanders, we have a fix for the
4875 hang that they both spotted in the DHCP server - when
4876 one-lease-per-client was set, the code to release the "other" lease
4877 could spin.
4878
4879- Fix a problem with alignment of the input buffer in bpf in cases
4880 where two packets arrive in the same bpf read.
4881
4882- Fix a problem where the relay agent would crash if you specified an
4883 interface name on the command line.
4884
4885- Add the ability to conditionalize client behaviour based on the
4886 client state.
4887
4888- Add support for the FQDN option, and added support for a new way of
4889 doing ddns updates (ddns update style interim) that allows more than
4890 one DHCP server to update the DNS for the same network(s). This
4891 was implemented by Damien Neil with some additional functionality
4892 added by Ted Lemon.
4893
4894- Damien added a "log" statement, so that the configuration file can
4895 be made to log debugging information and other information.
4896
4897- Fixed a bug that caused option buffers not to be terminated with an
4898 end option.
4899
4900- Fixed a long-standing bug in the support for option spaces where the
4901 options are stored as an ordered list rather than in a hash table,
4902 which could theoretically result in memory pool corruption.
4903
4904- Prevent hardware declarations with no actual hardware address from
4905 being written as something unparsable, and behave correctly in the
4906 face of a null hardware address on input.
4907
4908- Allow key names to be FQDNs, and qualify the algorithm name if it is
4909 specified unqualified.
4910
4911- Modify the DDNS update code so that it never prints the "resolver
4912 failed" message, but instead says *why* the resolver failed.
4913
4914- Officially support the subnet selection option, which now has an
4915 RFC.
4916
4917- Fix a build bug on MacOS X.
4918

4940 configuration language.

4950 the DHCP option space.

4952- Add a warning message if the RHS of a not is not boolean.
4953
4954- Never select for more than a day, because some implementations of
4955 select will just fail if the timeout is too long (!).
4956
4957- Fix a case where a DHCPDISCOVER from an unknown network would be
4958 silently dropped.
4959
4960- Fix a bug where if a client requested an IP address for which a different
4961 client had the lease, the DHCP server would reallocate it anyway.

4977- Fix a possible DoS attack where a client could cause the checksummer
4978 to dump core. This was a read, not a write, so it shouldn't be
4979 possible to exploit it any further than that.
4980
4981- Implement client- and server-side support for using the Client FQDN
4982 option.
4983
4984- Support for other option spaces in the client has been added. This
4985 means that it is now possible to define a vendor option space on the
4986 client, request options in that space from the server (which must
4987 define the same option space), and then use those options in the
4988 client. This also allows NWIP and Client FQDN options to be used
4989 meaningfully.
4990
4991- Add object initializer support. This means that objects can now be
4992 initialized to something other than all-zeros when allocated, which
4993 makes, e.g., the interface object support code a little more robust.
4994
4995- Fix an off-by-one bug in the host stuffer. This was causing host
4996 deletes not the work, and may also have been causing OMAPI
4997 connections to get dropped. Thanks to James Brister for tracking
4998 this one down!

5035 spawn with.
