5ddbe8e4 7 NEW FEATURES
16449d9c 8
5ade3c84 9The major "theme" for ISC DHCP 4.3.x was to update the support for
324257e3
SR
10DHCPv6 to include several of the features that have been available
11for DHCPv4. These include:
37ec5845 12
324257e3
SR
13- Support the use of classes
14
15- Support for on_commit, on_expiry and on_release statements
16
4809ef5c 17- Better logging of address assignments
324257e3
SR
18
19- Support for using DHCPv6 relay options in expressions
20
cb0d7e7c 21This release also adds support for the standard DDNS as described in the
324257e3
SR
22current RFCs as well as enhancing support for dynamically adding and removing
23subclasses via OMAPI.
98bf1607 24

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

54
d618ba48 55 Changes since 4.3.0 (new features)
1e08558f 56
0ee00c5b
SR
57- Insert the raw data from a fully encapsualted option into the option cache.
58 This allows "exists" to check for the option if any sub options exist. It
59 also adds the raw data to the environment variables supplied to the client
60 script.
61 [ISC-Bugs #39863]
62
a53c9bf2
FD
63- Pass configure arguments which begin with an upper case letter, e.g.
64 CFLAGS, to the embedded bind configure, so it is no longer required
65 to use environment variables to get the same effect.
66 [ISC-Bugs #35143]
67
81f844d2
FD
68- Added --enable-kqueue, --enable-epoll, --enable-devpoll and a more
69 general --with-bind-extra-config to pass extra options to the
70 embedded bind configure. Note we had mixed experiences with this
54ee18cf 71 so it is at the user risk, i.e., they are NOT SUPPORTED yet.
f285576d 72 [ISC-Bugs #20890]
81f844d2 73
53c7a535
FD
74- Changed the way the embedded bind Makefile is updated by configure.
75 The only user visible side effect is that --with-libbind now requires
76 either "no" or an (absolute) path, i.e. "yes" is no longer valid.
77 [ISC-Bugs #43227]
78
d163c8f7
TM
79- Added the support for git repositories in the util/bind.sh script.
80 When you build ISC DHCP from a git repo, i.e., without a "bind"
81 directory populated as in the release distribution file, you may now
4b914743
FD
82 create the bind directory, change to it and clone the private
83 (repo.isc.org/proj/git/prod/bind9.git) or the public
290a7613 84 (https://source.isc.org/git/bind9.git) git repository into
d163c8f7 85 bind/bind9 and then invoke the util/bind.sh script as usual.
c4ea4af0
FD
86 Note this option is incompatible with "make dist" (and make "distcheck")
87 because no bind/bind.tar.gz nor bind/version.tmp files are available.
4b914743
FD
88 [ISC-Bugs #43236]
89
e94e7f23
FD
90- Use the embedded bind libraries where they are built (vs where they
91 are installed).
92 [ISC-Bugs #39319]
93
a1372bbe
FD
94- Use last version (9.11) of plain embedded bind libraries in place of
95 older (9.9) version of export bind libraries.
96 [ISC-Bugs #43215]
97
5a2e8c37 98- Using "make distcheck" now works with external bind libraries (aka
c4ea4af0
FD
99 configure --with-libbind).
100 [ISC-Bugs #43285]
101
3210786b
TM
102- The server now allows the client identifier (option 61) to own leases
103 in more than one subnet concurrently. Prior to this the server would
104 incorrectly release an existing lease in one subnet prior to assigning
105 a lease in another subnet. Note that the prior behavior can be still
106 be achieved by enabling one-lease-per-client. Thanks to both David Zych at
107 the University of Illinois and Norm Proffitt of Infoblox for reporting
108 the issue; and Norm for suggesting a solution.
109 [ISC-Bugs #41358]
110
f9741514
FD
111- Added --enable-bind-install to install embedded bind includes and
112 libraries. Default is to not install them (it was the previous
113 behavior). If you'd like to change the includedir and/or libdir
5a67b030
FD
114 installation directories to something different than for ISC DHCP
115 you must pass them using the --with-bind-extra-config configuration
116 arguments.
f9741514
FD
117 [ISC-Bugs #39318]
118
007ba82a
FD
119- Added support of dynamic shared libraries with libtool. A new
120 --enable-libtool configuration parameter is available but
121 should not be used directly: *please* read the build configuration
122 section in the README file for the recommended procedure.
123 [ISC-Bugs #29402]
124
417b7b4a
TM
125- IPv6 operation now supports an EUI-64 based address allocation which will
126 calculate addresses for clients with EUI-64 DUIDs based on those DUIDs when
127 enabled by setting use-eui-64 true. The parameter may defined down to the
128 pool scope. Note this feature must be compiled in by defining EUI_64 in
129 includes/site.h. This flag is undefined by default.
130 [ISC-Bugs #43927]
131
c8f0b32a
MS
132- Added new compile time option --with-srv-conf-file which specifies a
133 default location of the server configuration file.
134 [ISC-Bugs #44765]
135
a68ec967
MS
136- Added --dad-wait-time parameter to dhclient. It specifies the maximum time,
137 in seconds, that the client process should wait for the duplicate address
138 detection to complete before initiating DHCP requests. This value is
139 propagated to the dhclient script and the script is responsible for waiting
140 the specified amount of time or until DAD has completed. If the script does
141 not support it, specifying this parameter has no effect. The default value
142 is 0 which specifies that the script should not wait for DAD. With this
143 change the following scripts have been modified to support the new parameter:
144 freebsd, linux, macos, netbsd, openbsd.
145 [ISC-Bugs #36169]
146
251bb4b9 147- Modified DDNS support initialization such that DNS related ports will only be
ca22af89
TM
148 opened by the server (dhcpd) at startup if ddns-update-style is not "none";
149 by dhclient only if and when the it first attempts an update; and never by
150 dhcrelay. Prior to this all three always did the initialization at startup
151 which causes them to always open on and listen for traffic on two random
ff343a30 152 ports. Thanks to Rodney Beede for reporting the issue.
ca22af89
TM
153 [ISC-Bugs #45290]
154 [ISC-Bugs #33377]
155
8c785e79
TM
156- Added error logging to two memory allocation failure checks. Thanks to Bill
157 Parker (wp02855 at gmail dot com) for reporting the issue.
158 [ISC-Bugs #41185]
159
251bb4b9 160- Corrected a dhclient -6 issue that caused the client to crash with an
161 "Impossible condition" error after de-preferencing its only IA binding.
162 The crash occurred when server configuration changes rendered the existing
01bfe9c5
TM
163 binding out-of-range and no other leases were available to offer. Thanks
164 to Pierre Clerissi for bringing this issue to our attention.
251bb4b9 165 [ISC-Bugs #44373]
166
5c03ed37 167- By defining CALL_SCRIPT_ON_ONETRY_FAIL in includes/site.h, dhclient will
168 now call the script with reason set to FAIL when run with -1 (one try) and
169 there are no server responses. This applies to IPv4 mode only. Thanks for a
170 patch by Martin Pitt which got to us via Andrew Pollock.
a489cc48
TM
171 [ISC-bugs #18183]
172
6573afff 173- Linux script updated. The script is now based on Debian version. It uses
fbe81d8e
TM
174 ip tool from iproute2 package and ifconfig is no longer used. This also
175 addresses an issue of calling arping with inappropriate parameter.
6573afff 176 [ISC-bugs #19430]
fbe81d8e 177 [ISC-bugs #18111]
6573afff 178
30afd7db 179- The directory minires has been removed from the source tree. It has
c1beb003 180 long been obsolete for branches other than v4_1_esv. Additionally,
30afd7db
TM
181 includes/minires.h was renamed includes/ns_name.h.

247 When asked for the version don't send the output to syslog.
248 [ISC-Bugs #29772]
249 Add the next server information to the environment variables for
250 use by the client script. In order to avoid changing the client
251 lease file the next server information isn't written to it.
252 Thanks to Tomas Hozza at Red Hat for the suggestion and a prototype fix.
253 [ISC-Bugs #33098]
21f3982a 254
d618ba48
SR
255- Several updates to the dhcp server code.
256 When not in quiet mode print out the files being used.
257 [ISC-Bugs #17551]
258 As accessing some pid files may require privileges move the dropping
259 of permission bits due to the paranoia patch to be after the pid code.
260 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the bug report and fix.
261 [ISC-Bugs #25806]
262 When processing a "--version" request don't output the version information
263 to syslog.
33dca28a 264
d618ba48
SR
265- Add the "enable-log-pid" build option to the configure script. When enabled
266 this causes the client, server and relay programs to include the PID
267 number in syslog messages.
268 Thanks to Marius Tomaschewski for the suggestion and proto-patch.
269 [ISC-Bugs #29713]
33dca28a 270
d618ba48
SR
271- Add a #define to specify the prefix length used when a client attempts
272 to configure an address. This can be modified by editing includes/site.h.
273 By default it is set to 64. While 128 might be a better choice it would
274 also be a change for currently running systems, so we have left it at 64.
275 [ISC-Bugs #DHCP-2]
7da1ac2b 276
d618ba48
SR
277- Add a run time option to the client "-df" to allow the administrator to
278 point to a second lease file the client can search for a DUID. This can
279 be used to allow a v4 and a v6 instance of the client to share a DUID.
280 The second file will only be searched if there isn't a DUID in the main
281 lease file and the DUID will be written out to the main lease file.
282 [ISC-Bugs #34886]
e82906fc 283
d618ba48
SR
284- Have the client fsync the lease file to avoid lease corruption if the
285 client hibernates or otherwise shuts down.
286 [ISC-Bugs #35894]
20931f53 287
d618ba48
SR
288- Add a check for L2VLAN in bpf.c to help support VLAN interfaces
289 Thanks to Steinar Haug for the suggestion.
290 [ISC-Bugs #36033]
5cc6f201 291
d618ba48
SR
292- Modify the handling of the resolv.conf file to allow the DHCP
293 process to start up even if the resolv.conf file has problems.
294 [ISC-Bugs #35989]
88c3ff5d 295
d618ba48
SR
296- Add threshold logging functionality. Two new options,
297 log-threshold-low and log-threshold-high, indicate to the
298 server if and when it should log an error message as addresses
299 in a pool are used.
300 [ISC-Bugs #34487]
f10cbbfa 301
d618ba48
SR
302- Add code to properly dereference a pointer in the dhclient code
303 on an error condition.

309- Disable the gentle shutdown functionality until we can determine
310 the best way to present it to remove or reduce the side effects.
311 [ISC-Bugs #36066]
646acb59 312
d618ba48
SR
313- Modify the message displayed when a process hits a fatal error.
314 The new message is much shorter and simply points to the README
315 and our website for directions on bug submissions.
316 [ISC-Bugs #24789]
18ba0ff3 317
d618ba48

355 [ISC-Bugs] #36664]
3e3b5257 356
d618ba48
SR
357- Remove unneeded error #defines. These defines were included in case
358 external programs required the older versions of the macro. They
359 have been #ifdeffed for now and will be removed at a future date.
360 See site.h for the #define to include them again, but you should
361 switch to using the DHCP_R_* versions instead of the ISC_R_* versions.
362 Also ISC_R_MULTIPLE has been removed as it is also defined in bind.
363 [ISC-Bugs #37128]
ba4c704d 364
d618ba48
SR
365- Added checks in range6 and prefix6 statement parsing to ensure addresses
366 are within the declared subnet. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the
367 bug report and patch.

b1eea858 373
d618ba48
SR
374- Addressed checksum issues:
375 Added checksum readiness check to Linux packet filtering which eliminates
376 invalid packet drops due to checksum errors when checksum offloading is
377 in use. Based on dhcp-4.2.2-xen-checksum.patch made to the Fedora project.
378 [ISC-Bugs #22806]

381 [ISC-Bugs #18010]
382 [ISC-Bugs #22556]
383 [ISC-Bugs #29769]
384 Inbound packets with UDP checksums of 0xffff now validate correctly rather
385 than being dropped.
386 [ISC-Bugs #24216]
387 [ISC-Bugs #25587]
36c4a037 388
d618ba48
SR
389- Added the echo-client-id configuration parameter to the server configuration.
390 The server now supports RFC 6842 compliant behavior by setting a new
391 configuration parameter, echo-client-id. When enabled, the server will
392 include the client identifier option (Option code 61) if received, in its
393 responses. The server identifier returned in NAKs (if enabled) will now
394 be the globally defined value (if one) if the server cannot attribute the
395 inbound request to a known subnet.
396 [ISC-Bugs #35958]
397 [ISC-Bugs #32545]
41b5a1a6 398
d618ba48
SR
399- Added support of the configuration parameter, use-host-decl-names, to
400 BOOTP request handling.
401 [ISC-Bugs #36233]
62a9eb91 402
d618ba48
SR
403- Added logic to ignore the signal, SIGPIPE, which ensures write failures
404 will be delivered as errors rather than as SIGPIPE signals on all OSs.

409- In the failover code, handle the case of communications being interrupted
410 when the servers are dealing with POTENTIAL-CONFLICT. This patch allows
411 the primary to accept the secondary moving from POTENTIAL-CONFLICT to
412 RESOLUTION-INTERRUPTED as well as handling the bind update process better.
413 In addition the code to resend update or update all requests has been
414 modified to send requests more often.

418- By default, the server will now choose the value to use in the forward DNS
419 name from the following in order of preference:
1d3fc4d0 420
d618ba48

421 1. FQDN option if provided by the client

425 As before, this may be overridden by defining ddns-hostname to the desired
426 value (or expression). In addition, the server logic has been extended to
427 use the value of the host name declaration if use-host-decl-names is enabled
428 and no other value is available.

437- Corrected an issue which caused dhclient to incorrectly form the result when

443- Added the server-id-check parameter to the server configuration.
444 This parameter allows run-time control over whether or not a server,
445 participating in failover, verifies the dhcp-server-identifier option in
446 DHCP REQUESTs against the server's id before processing the request.
447 Formerly, enabling this behavior was done at compilation time through
448 the use of the #define, SERVER_ID_CHECK, which has been removed from site.h
449 The functionality is now only available through the new runtime parameter.

d618ba48
SR
452- During startup, when the server encounters a lease whose binding state is
453 FTS_BACKUP but whose pool has no configured failover peer, it will reset the
454 lease's binding state to FTS_FREE. This allows the leases to be reclaimed
455 by the server after a pool's configuration has changed from failover to
456 standalone. Prior to this such leases would remain stuck in the backup state
457 making them unavailable for assignment. Note this conversion will occur
458 whether or not the server is compiled for failover.

463 the wrong scope. The two examples we've heard of are getting subnet
464 instead of group information associated with a host entry, or getting
465 global information instead of subnet if the host entry was built via

488- Modified Linux packet handling such that packets received via VLAN are now
489 seen only by the VLAN interface. Prior to this, such packets were seen by

499 check for multiple IPv6 clients attempting to use the same DUID when only
500 abandoned addresses are available. Debug level logging will now emit counts
501 of the total number of, in-use, and abandoned addresses in a shared subnet

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

519- Corrected inconsistencies in dhcrelay's setting the upper interface hop count
520 limit such that it now sets it to 32 when the upstream address is a multicast
521 address per RFC 3315 Section 20. Prior to this if the -u argument preceded
522 the -l argument on the command line or if the same interface was specified
523 for both; the logic to set the hop limit count for the upper interface was
524 skipped. This caused the hop count limit to be set to the default value
525 (typically 1) in the outbound upstream packets.

538- The server now does a better check to see if it can allocate the memory
539 for large blocks of v4 leases and should provide a slightly better error
540 message. Note well: the server pre-allocates v4 addresses, if you use
541 a large range, such as a /8, the server will attempt to use a large
542 amount of memory and may not start if there either isn't enough memory

543 or the size exceeds what the code supports.

546- The server will now reject unicast Request, Renew, Decline, and Release
547 messages from a client unless the server would have sent that client the
548 dhcp6.unicast option. This behavior is in compliance with paragraph 1 in
549 each of the sections 18.2,1, 18.2.3, 18.2.6, and 18.2.7 of RFC 3315. Prior
550 to this, the server would simply accept the messages. Now, in order for
551 the server to accept such a message, the server configuration must include
552 the dhcp6.unicast option either globally or within the shared network to
553 which the requested lease belongs. In other words, the server will map
554 the first IA_XX address found within the client message to a shared-network
555 and look for the presence of the unicast option there and then globally.

637 look for a subnet based on the prefix, failing that on the static

707- Unit test execution now uses a path augmented during configuration
708 processing of the --with-atf option to locate ATF runtime tools, atf-run
709 and atf-report. For most installations of ATF, this should alleviate the
710 need to manually include them in the PATH, as was formerly required.
711 If the configure script cannot locate the tools it will emit a warning,
712 informing the user that the tools must be in the PATH when running unit
713 tests.
714 Secondly, please note that "make check" will now exit with a failure status
715 code (non-zero) if one or more unit tests fail. This means that invoking
716 "make check" from an upper level directory will cause the make process to
717 STOP after the first test subdirectory with failed test(s). To force all
718 tests in all subdirectories to run, regardless of individual test outcome,

818- Option expressions, such as prepend and append, are now supported when
819 running dhclient for IPv6. Prior to this such statements in the

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

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

896 option "--enable-dhcpv4o6". Note this feature requires DHCPv6 support
897 and is not compatible with delayed-ack. Both client and server use 2
898 processes which communicate over UDP on a pair of sockets. The new

SR
1134
1135- If a client renews before 'dhcp-cache-threshold' percent of its lease
1136 has elapsed (default 25%), the server will reuse the allocated lease
1137 (provide a lease within the currently allocated lease-time) rather
1138 than extend or renew the lease. This absolves the server of needing
1139 to perform an fsync() operation on the lease database before reply,
1140 which improves performance. [ISC-Bugs #22228]
80778e94 1141 Updated this patch to support asynchronous DDNS. If the server is
adb95d23 1142 attempting to do DDNS on a lease it should be updated and written to

1169- Update the DDNS code to current standards and allow for sharing
1170 of DDNS entries between v4 and v6 clients. The new code is used
1171 if the ddns-update-style is set to "standard", the older code is
1172 still available if ddns-update-style is set to "interim". The
1173 oldest DDNS code "ad-hoc" has been removed. Thanks to Thomas Pegeot

cde11a4c
SR
1178- Add a configuration option to the server to suppress using fsync().
1179 Enabling this option will mean that fsync() is never called. This
1180 may provide better performance but there is also a risk that a lease
1181 will not be properly written to the disk after it has been issued
1182 to a client and before the server stops. Using this option is
1183 not recommended.

1187 to serve. One statement is emitted after the server has finished
1188 reading its files and is about to enter the dispatch loop.
1189 This is "Server starting service.".
1190 The second is emitted when a server determines that both it and

1205 some functionality that was lost in the transition to asynchronous
1206 DDNS. Due to the lack of security and increase in fragility of the
1207 system when using this feature we strongly recommend the use of
1208 appropriate zone statements rather than using this functionality.

1211- Add support for specifying the address from which to send
1212 DDNS updates on the DHCP server. There are two new options
1213 "ddns-local-address4" and "ddns-local-address6" that each take
1214 one instance of their respective address types.

1217- Add ignore-client-uids option in the server. This option causes
1218 the server to not record a client's uid in its lease. This
1219 violates the specification but may also be useful when a client
1220 can dual boot using different client ids but the same mac address.

7dc4e69c 1250
01a44a77
SR
1251- An optimization described in the failover protocol draft is now included,
1252 which permits a DHCP server operating in communications-interrupted state
1253 to 'rewind' a lease to the state most recently transmitted to its peer,
1254 greatly increasing a server's endurance in communications-interrupted.
1255 This is supported using a new 'rewind state' record on the dhcpd.leases
1256 entry for each lease.

d0a10f6a 1259
01a44a77
SR
1260- Update the fsync code to work with the changes to the DDNS code. It now
1261 uses a timer instead of noticing if there are no more packets to process.

01a44a77
SR
1263- When constructing the DNS name structure from a text string append
1264 the root to relative names. This satisfies a requirement in the DNS
1265 library that names be absolute instead of relative and prevents DHCP
1266 from crashing. [ISC-Bugs #21054]

SR
1268- "The LDAP Patch" that has been circulating for some time, written by
1269 Brian Masney and S.Kalyanasundraram and maintained for application to
1270 the DHCP-4 sources by David Cantrell has been included. Please be
1271 advised that these sources were contributed, and do not yet meet the
1272 high standards we place on production sources we include by default.
1273 As a result, the LDAP features are only included by using a compile-time
1274 option which defaults off, and if you enable it you do so under your
1275 own recognizance. We will be improving this software over time.

1281! Accept a client id of length 0 while hashing. Previously the server would
1282 exit if it attempted to hash a zero length client id, providing attackers

1288- Modify the exception handling for initial context creation. Previously
1289 we would try and clean up before exiting. This could present problems
1290 when the cleanup required part of the context that wasn't available. It
1291 also didn't do much as we exited afterwards anyway. Now we simply log
1292 the error and exit. [ISC-Bugs #21093]

SR
1294- A bug was fixed that could cause the DHCPv6 server to advertise/assign a
1295 previously allocated (active) lease to a client that has changed subnets,
1296 despite being on different shared networks. Dynamic prefixes specifically
1297 allocated in shared networks also now are not offered if the client has
1298 moved. [ISC-Bugs #21152]

1512- 'dhclient' no longer waits a random interval after first starting up to

1531 in sub-1-second timers. This corrects a bug where a 2-second or lower

1777! Previously the server code was relaxed to allow packets with zero
1778 length client ids to be processed. Under some situations use of
1779 zero length client ids can cause the server to go into an infinite
1780 loop. As such ids are not valid according to RFC 2132 section 9.14
1781 the server no longer accepts them. Client ids with a length of 1
1782 are also invalid but the server still accepts them in order to
1783 minimize disruption. The restriction will likely be tightened in
1784 the future to disallow ids with a length of 1.

1947- Failover port configuration can now be left to defaults (port 647) as
1948 described in the -12 revision of the Failover draft (and assigned by
4b97eaff 1949 IANA). Thanks in part to a patch from David Cantrell at Red Hat.

DH
1960- A new failover configuration parameter has been introduced for those
1961 environments where DHCP servers can be reasonably guaranteed to be
1962 "down" when the failover TCP socket is severed, "auto-partner-down".
1963 This parameter is not generally safe, and by default is disabled, so
1964 please carefully review the documentation of this parameter in the
1965 dhcpd.conf(5) manpage before determining to use it yourself.
1966

DH
1967- Added a configuration function, 'gethostname()', which calls the system
1968 function of the same name and presents the results as a data expression.
1969 This function can be used to incorporate the system level hostname of
1970 the system the DHCP software is operating on in responses or queries (such
1971 as including a failover partner's hostname in a dhcp message or binding
1972 scope, or having a DHCP client send any system hostname in the host-name or
1973 FQDN options by default).

DH
1975- The dhcp-renewal-time and dhcp-rebinding-time options may now be configured
1976 for DHCPv4 operation and used independently of the dhcp-lease-time
1977 calculations. Invalid renew and rebinding times (e.g., greater than the
1978 determined lease time) are omitted.
1979
adb95d23 1980- Processing the DHCP to DNS server transactions in an asynchronous fashion,
45adf35c 1981 the DHCP server or client can now continue with its processing while
98bf1607 1982 awaiting replies from the DNS server.

1994- The notorious 'option <unknown> ... larger than buffer' log line,
1995 which is seen in some malformed DHCP client packets, was modified.
1996 It now logs the universe name, and does not log the length values
1997 (which are bogus corruption read from the packet anyway). It also
1998 carries a hopefully more useful explanation.

2026- A bug in DLPI packet transmission (Solaris, HP/UX) that caused the server
2027 to stop receiving packets is fixed. The same fix also means that the MAC
2028 address will no longer appear 'bogus' on DLPI-based systems.
2029
2030- A bug in select handling was discovered where the results of one select()
2031 call were discarded, causing the server to process the next select() call
2032 and use more system calls than required. This has been repaired - the
2033 sockets will be handled after the first return from select(), resulting in
2034 fewer system calls.
2035

DH
2036- The update-conflict-detection feature would leave an FQDN updated without
2037 a DHCID (still currently implemented as a TXT RR). This would cause later
2038 expiration or release events to fail to remove the domain name. The feature
2039 now also inserts the client's up to date DHCID record, so records may safely
2040 be removed at expiration or release time. Thanks to a patch submitted by
2041 Christof Chen.

2043- Memory leak in the load_balance_mine() function is fixed. This would
2044 leak ~20-30 octets per DHCPDISCOVER packet while failover was in use
2045 and in normal state.

2069 timeouts).

2074! A stack overflow vulnerability was fixed in dhclient that could allow
2075 remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands as root on the system,

DH
2093- Secondary servers in a failover pair will now perform ddns removals if
2094 they had performed ddns updates on a lease that is expiring, or was
2095 released through the primary. As part of the same fix, stale binding scopes
2096 will now be removed if a change in identity of a lease's active client is
2097 detected, rather than simply if a lease is noticed to have expired (which it
2098 may have expired without a failover server noticing in some situations).
2099

DH
2100- A patch supplied by David Cantrell at RedHat was applied that detects
2101 invalid calling parameters given to the ns_name_ntop() function.
2102 Specifically, it detects if the caller passed a pointer and size pair
2103 that causes the pointer to integer-wrap past zero.

2267da84
DH
2111- Both host and subnet6 configuration groups are now included whether a
2112 fixed-address6 (DHCPv6) is in use or not. Host scoped configuration takes
2113 precedence. This fixes two bugs, one where host scoped configuration
2114 would not be included from a non-fixed-address6 host record, and the equal
2115 and opposite bug where subnet6 scoped configuration would not be used when
571c38b0 2116 over-riding values were not present in a matching fixed-address6 host

2119- ./configure now checks to ensure the intX_t and u_intX_t types are defined,
2120 correcting a compilation failure when using Sun's compiler.
2121
0493fdca
SR
2122- Modified the handling of a connection to avoid releasing the omapi io
2123 object for the connection while it is still in use. One symptom from
2124 this error was a segfault when a failover secondary attempted to connect
2125 to the failover primary if their clocks were not synchronized.
2126
95bba8b6
SR
2127- Clean up to allow compilation with gcc 2.95.4 on FreeBSD. Remove an
2128 extra semi-colon from common/dns.c and moved setting a variable to NULL
2129 in server/dhcpv6.c to allow the compiler to decide that the variable
9a111ee8 2130 was always properly set.

2159 in future releases.

2168 the client has been deprived of all A and AAAA records (not only the last
2169 one of either of those). This resolves a bug where dual stack clients
2170 would not be able to regain their names after either expiration event.

DH
2236- A bug in subnet6 parsing where options contained in subnet6 clauses would
2237 not be applied to clients addressed within that network was repaired.
2238
2239- When configuring a "subnet {}" or "subnet6 {}" without an explicit
2240 shared-network enclosing it, the DHCP software would synthesize a
2241 shared-network to contain the subnet. However, all configuration
2242 parameters within the subnet more intuitively belong "to any client
2243 on that interface", or rather the synthesized shared-network. So,
2244 when a shared-network is synthesized, it is used to contain the
2245 configuration present inside the subnet {} clause. This means that
2246 the configuration will be valid for all clients on that network, not
2247 just those addressed out of the stated subnet. If you intended the
2248 opposite, the workaround is to explicitly configure an empty
2249 shared-network.
2250
2251- A bug was fixed where Information-Request processing was not sourcing
2252 configured option values.

2255 support class statements.

01a54c17
EH
2307- The dhclient-script was updated to create a host route for the default
2308 gateway if the supplied subnet mask for an IPv4 address was a /32. This
2309 allows the client to work in 'captive' network environments, where the
2310 operator does not want clients to crosstalk directly.

adb95d23 2312- MINUS tokens should be parsable again.
01a54c17
EH
2313
2314- Multiple (up to "delayed-ack x;" maximum) DHCPv4 packets are now queued and
2315 released in bursts after single fsync() events when the upper limit is
2316 reached or if the receiving sockets go dry. The practical upshot is
2317 that fsync-coupled server performance is now multiplicitively increased.
2318 The default delayed ack limit is 28. Thanks entirely to a patch from
2319 Christof Chen.

41d4652f
DH
2351- A log message was introduced to clarify the situation where a failover
2352 'address' parameter (the server's local address) did not resolve to an
2353 IPv4 address.
2354
2c9bf1f4
DH
2355- The minimum site code value was set to 224 in 3.1.0 to track RFC3942. This
2356 broke a lot of legacy site local configurations. The new code in place will
2357 track site local space minimum option codes and logs a warning to encourage
2358 updates and exploration of site local code migration problems. Option
2359 codes less than 128 in site local spaces remain inaccessible.
2360
2361- A possible relay agent option bug was repaired where random server
2362 initialization state may have been used to signal the relay agent
2363 information options sub-option code for the 'END' of the option space.

SK
2365- Fixes to allow code to compile and run on Solaris 9.

c4d29896
SK
2367- Fixes to allow code to compile on Mac OS X Leopard (10.5).
2368
57fcb8d9
SK
2369- When server is configured with options that it overrides, a warning is
2370 issued when the configuration file is read, rather than at the time the
2371 option is overridden. This was important, because the warning was given
9a111ee8 2372 every time the option was overridden, which could create a lot of
57fcb8d9
SK
2373 unnecessary logging.
2374
219a65eb
DH
2375- Fixed a compilation problems on platforms that define a value for FDDI,
2376 which conflicts with a dhcp configuration syntax token by the same name.
2377
ffdf3c8c
DH
2378- When a failover server suspects it has encountered a peer running a
2379 version 3.0.x failover server, a warning that the failover wire protocol
2380 is incompatible is printed.
2381
2382- The failover server no longer issues a floating point error if it encounters
2383 a previously undefined option code.
2384
00a002fc
MA
2385- Fix startup error messages to report a missing "subnet6 declaration", rather
2386 than a missing "subnet declaration", when running as a DHCPv6 server.
2387
9a111ee8 2388- DHCPv6 client timestamp in DUID was based on the year 1970 rather
7e9f7a1b
FD
2389 than the year 2000.
2390
e2cfde76

DH
2397 Changes since 4.0.0b3
2398
2399- The reverse dns name for PTR updates on IPv6 addresses has been fixed to
2400 use ip6.arpa. rather than default to in-addr.arpa and require user
2401 configuration.
76db44f9 2402
e32529a5
EH
2403- dhc6_lease_destroy() and dhc6_ia_destroy() now set lease and IA pointers
2404 to NULL after freeing, to prevent subsequent accesses to freed memory.
2405
9a111ee8 2406- The DHCPv6 server would not send the preference option unless the
76db44f9
SK
2407 client requested it, via the ORO. This has been fixed, so the DHCPv6
2408 server will always send the preference value if it is configured.
e4a6be15 2409
9a111ee8
TM
2410- When addresses were passed as hints to the server in an IA, they were
2411 incorrectly handled, sometimes being treated as an error. Now the
6f76de58
SK
2412 server will treat these as hints and ignore them if it cannot supply
2413 a requested address.
2414
703873ab
DH
2415- If the client had multiple addresses, and one expired (was not renewed
2416 by the server), the client would continue to attempt to renew the same
2417 old address over and over. Now, the client will omit any expired
2418 addresses from future Confirm, Renew, or Rebind messages.
2419
2420- dhclient -6 will now select renew/rebind timers based upon the longest
2421 address expiration time rather than the shortest expiration time, in
2422 order to avoid cascading renewals in the event a server elects not to
2423 extend one of multiple IAADDR leases.
2424
b024480e
DH
2425- The server now limits clients that request multiple addresses to one
2426 address per IA by default, which can be adjusted through the
2427 "limit-addrs-per-ia" configuration option.
2428
c0216cb7
DH
2429- The DHCPv6 client now issues fresh transaction IDs on Renew and Rebind
2430 message exchanges, rather than using the most recent ID.

2437- The parsing of some options in the dhclient lease file, in particular
2438 the success DHCPv6 status-code, was fixed.

2440- A bug was fixed that caused the DHCPv6 ORO option to be corrupted with
2441 seemingly random values.

DH
2443- A reference overleak in DHCPv6 shared network processing was repaired.

f8b3c6f4
DH
2445- ./configure now autodetects local database locations rather than trying
2446 to put dhcpd.leases and dhclient.leases in /usr/local/var/db, which no
2447 one ever has.
2448
9a111ee8
TM
2449- Regression fix for bug where server advertised a IPv6 address in
2450 response to a SOLICIT but would not return the address in response
b9137d42

2453- A bug was fixed where the DHCPv6 server puts the NoAddrsAvail status
2454 code in the IA_NA was fixed. The status code now appears in the root
2455 level.

b1d3778c
DH
2461- Relative time may now be used as a qualifier for 'allow' and 'deny' access
2462 control lists. These directives may be used to assist in re-addressing
2463 address pools without having to constantly reconfigure the server. Please
2464 see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more information on allow/deny 'after time' syntax.
2465 Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen.

DH
2467- The server will now include multiple IA_NA's and multiple IAADDRs within
2468 them, if advertised by the client. It still only seeks to allocate one
2469 new address.

2472
75135a3f 2473- Use different paths for PID and lease files when running in DHCPv4
adb95d23 2474 or DHCPv6 mode, so that servers for both protocols can be run
75135a3f
EH
2475 simultaneously on a single interface.

5c2d55c7
EH
2477- Fixed a buffer overflow error which could have allowed a denial
2478 of service under unusual server configurations
2479
2480- Eliminated a spurious error message from the client
2481
9a111ee8 2482- A number of bugs with the internal handling of lease state on the
f765ec36 2483 server have been fixed. Some of these could cause server crashes.
fa9b593d 2484
edb1283e

2485- The peer_wants_leases() changes pulled up from 3.1.0 were corrected,
2486 'never used' leases will no longer consistently shift between servers
2487 on every pool rebalance run.

2492- The client leasing subsystem was streamlined and corrected to account
2493 more closely for changes in client link attachment selection.

ab3a540f 2495 Changes since 4.0.0a3
763cba6b 2496
9a111ee8 2497- The DHCP server no longer requires a "ddns-update-style" statement,
884a458f
SK
2498 and now defaults to "none", which means DNS updates are disabled.
2499
fa9b593d
DH
2500- Log messages when failover peer names mismatch have been improved to
2501 point out the problem.
2502
9a111ee8 2503- Bug where server advertised a IPv6 address in response to a SOLICIT
1b5053b5
SK

eaf7eb17
DH
2510- Fixed a ./configure bug where compile tests were failing due to
2511 "-Werror" (unused variable) rather than the actual test failure. Lead
2512 to inconsistent and unworkable auto-configurations.

3ad9d48f
SK
2517 fixed by Marcus Goller.

DH
2519- DHCPv6 server Confirm message processing has been enhanced - it no
2520 longer replies only to clients with host {} records, it now replies
2521 as directed in RFC3315 section 18.2.2 - that is, to all clients
2522 regardless of the existence of bindings.

DH
2524- A core dump during expired lease cleanup has been repaired.
2525
7285af30
DH
2526- DDNS updates state information are now stored in 'binding scopes' that
2527 follow the leases through their lifecycles. This enables DDNS teardowns
2528 on leases that are assigned and expired inbetween a server restart (the
2529 state is recovered from dhcpd.leases). Arbitrary user-specified binding
2530 scopes ('set var = "value";') are not yet supported.

2550- An internal database inconsistency bug was repaired where the server
2551 would segfault if a client attempted to renew a lease that had been
2552 loaded from persistent storage.
2553
45d545f0 2554- 'request' and 'also request' syntaxes have been added to accommodate
0c20eab3
DH
2555 the DHCPv6 client configuration. 'send dhcp6.oro' is no longer
2556 necessary.
2557
9a111ee8
TM
2558- Bug fixed where configuration file parsing did not work with
2559 zero-length options; this made it impossible to set the
f800f4f6
SK
2560 rapid-commit option.

2619
2620- Include the more standard sys/uio.h rather than rely upon other
f66f02cc
DH
2621 header files to include it (fixes a BSD 4.2 compile failure).
2622
2623- Duplicate dhclient-script updates for DHCPv6 to all provided scripts.
a512d11b 2624
4ba58919
DH
2625- DHCPv4 I/O methods that failed to sense hardware address were corrected.
2626
2627- DHCPv4 is now the default (as documented) rather than DHCPv6. The default
2628 was set to DHCPv6 to facilitate ease early development, and forgotten.
2629
2630- Corrected a segmentation violation in DHCPv4 socket processing.
2631
8ea19a71 2632- dhclient will now fork() into the background once it binds to an
45d545f0 2633 IPv6 address, or immediately if the -n flag is supplied.
8ea19a71

98bd7ca0
DH
2644 Changes since 3.1.0 (NEW FEATURES)
2645
2646- DHCPv6 Client and Server protocol support. Use '-6' to run the daemons
2647 as v6-only. Use '-4' to run the daemons as v4-only (default. There is
2648 no support currently for both.
2649
2650- Server support for multiple IA_NA options, containing at most one
2651 IAADDR option.
2652
2653- Client support for one IA_NA option, containing any number of IAADDR
2654 options.
2655
2656- Server support for the DHCPv6 Information-request message.
2657
2658- Inappropriate unicast DHCPv6 messages sent to the server are now
2659 discarded, and this has rearchitected the IO system slightly.
2660
2661- The DHCPv6 server DUID defaults to type 1, is persistently stored in
2662 the leases database, and can be over-ridden (either completely, or by
2663 specifying type 1 or type 2).
2664
2665- The server only uses Rapid-Commit if it has been configured with the
2666 Rapid-Commit option and the client requests it.
2667
2668- DDNS support. We now update AAAA records in the same place we would
2669 update A records, if we have an IPv6 address. We also generate IP6.ARPA
2670 style names for PTR records if we're dealing with an IPv6 address. Both
2671 A and AAAA updates are done using the same 'fqdn.' virtual option space
2672 (although the DHCPv4 FQDN and DHCPv6 FQDN options are formatted
2673 differently, they both use the same code here).
2674
2675- The Linux dhclient-script attempts to set and remove assigned addresses,
2676 and to configure /etc/resolv.conf from nameserver and domain name
2677 configurations. It can be extended to configure other parameters.
2678
2679- Initial DHCPv6 lease support.
2680
2681- The IO system now tracks all local IP addresses, so that the DHCP
2682 applications (particularly the dhcrelay) can discern between what frames
2683 were transmitted to it, and what frames are being carried through it which
2684 it should not intercept.
2685

DH
2686 Changes since 3.1.0 (Maintenance)
2687
2688- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for virgin leases always
2689 mapped to the primary. Virgin leases now have an interleaved preference
2690 between primary and secondary.
2691
2692- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for clients with no client
2693 identifier was sometimes mishashed to the peer. Load balancing during
2694 runtime and pool rebalancing were opposing.
2695
aa3e348e
DH
2696- An assertion in lease counting relating to reserved leases was repaired.
2697
e9c59645
DH
2698- The subnet-mask option inclusion now conforms with RFC2132 section 3.3;
2699 it will only appear prior to the routers option if it is present on the
2700 Parameter-Request-List. The subnet-mask option will also only be
2701 included by default (if it is not on the PRL) in response to DISCOVER
2702 or REQUEST messages.
2703
2704- The FQDN option is only supplied if the client supplied an FQDN option or
2705 if the FQDN option was explicitly requested on the PRL.

DH
2714 Changes since 3.1.0b2
2715
2716- Failover rebalance events no longer play ping pong with round errors
2717 (moving leases between free and back to backup where there are an
2718 odd number of leases).
2719
2720- The 'pool' log line has been split into two messages, one before the
2721 rebalance run, and one after.
2722
2723- Any queued BNDACKs are transmitted before transmitting new BNDUPDs.
2724 This enforces the correct sequence of events for the remote server
2725 processing these messages.

2731
1ba87b37
EH
2732- A new server config option "fqdn-reply" specifies whether the server
2733 should send out option 81 (FQDN). Defaults to "on". If set to "off",
2734 the FQDN option is not sent, even if the client requested it. This is
2735 needed because some clients misbehave otherwise. Thanks to Christof Chen
2736 at Allianz.

2745 caused the server to abort.
2746

DH
2747- A new server config option, 'do-reverse-updates', has been added
2748 which causes the server to abstain from performing updates on PTR
2749 records. Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen at Allianz.

2772- A bug was fixed where attempting to permit leasequeries results in a
2773 fatal internal error, "Unable to find server option 49".
2774
85edef5c
DH
2775- A bug was fixed in dhclient rendering the textual output form of the
2776 domain-search option syntax.
2777
bdddcb7d
DH
2778 Changes since 3.1.0a1
2779
2780- A bug in the FQDN universe that added FQDN codes to the NWIP universe's
2781 hash table was repaired.
2782
616d67cb
DH
2783- The servers now try harder to transmit pending binding updates when
2784 entering normal state.
2785
2786- UPDREQ/UPDREQALL handling was optimized - it no longer dequeues and
2787 requeues all pending updates. This should reduce the number of spurious
66c8f734
DH
2788 'xid mismatch' log messages.
2789
2790- An option definition referencing leak was fixed, which resulted in early
2791 termination of dhclient upon the renewal event.
616d67cb 2792
6708d944
DH
2793- Some default hash table sizes were tweaked, some upwards, some downwards.
2794 3.1.0a1's tables resulted in a reduction in default server memory use.
2795 The new selected values provide more of a zero sum (increasing the size
2796 of tables likely to be populated, decreasing the size of tables unlikely).
2797
45d545f0 2798- Lease structures appear in three separate hashes: by IP address, by UID,
6708d944
DH
2799 and by hardware address. One type of table was used for all three, and
2800 improvements to IP address hashing were applied to all three (so UID and
2801 hardware addresses were treated like 4-byte integers). There are now two
2802 types of tables, and the uid/hw hashes use functions more appropriate
2803 to their needs.
2804
2805- The max-lease-misbalance percentage no longer causes scheduled rebalance
2806 runs to be skipped: it still governs the schedule, but every scheduled
2807 run will attempt balance.
2808
a7ee93fe
DH
2809- A segfault bug in recursive encapsulation support has been corrected.
2810
98311e4b
DH
2811 Changes since 3.0 (New Features)
2812
2813- A workaround for certain STSN servers that send a mangled domain-name
2814 option was introduced for dhclient. The client will now accept corrupted
2815 server responses, if they contain a valid DHCP_MESSAGE_TYPE (OFFER, ACK,
2816 or NAK). The server will continue to not accept corrupt client packets.
2817
98bd7ca0 2818- Support for 'reserved' (pseudo-static) and BOOTP leases via failover
a55ccdd0 2819 was introduced.
98311e4b
DH
2820
2821- Support for adding, removing, and managing class and subclass statements
2822 via OMAPI.
2823
a55ccdd0
DH
2824- The failover implementation was updated to comply with revision 12 of
2825 the protocol draft.
2826
98311e4b
DH
2827- 'make install' now creates the initial zero-length dhcpd.leases file if
2828 one does not already exist on the system.
2829
b43c87ad 2830- RFC3942 compliance, site-local option spaces start at 224 now, not 128.
b43c87ad 2831
0b17f049
DH
2832- The Load Balance Algorithm was misimplemented. The current implementation
2833 matches RFC 3074.
2834
2727c1cf
DH
2835- lcase() and ucase() configuration expressions have been added which adjust
2836 their arguments from upper to lower and lower to upper cases respectively.
2714a8ef 2837 Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
2727c1cf 2838
febbd402
DH
2839- The dhclient 'reject ...;' statement, which rejects leases given by named
2840 server-identifiers, now permits address ranges to be specified in CIDR
7d7073e7 2841 notation. Thanks to a patch from David Boyce.
febbd402 2842
ee912528
DH
2843- The subnet-mask option is now supplied by default, but at lowest
2844 priority. This helps a small minority of clients that provide parameter
2845 request lists, but do not list the subnet-mask option because they were
2846 designed to interoperate with a server that behaves in this manner.
2847
2848- The FQDN option is similarly supplied even if it does not appear on the
2849 parameter request list, but not to the exclusion of options that do
2850 appear at the parameter request list. Up until now it had ultimate
2851 priority over the client's parameter request list.
2852
f7fdb216 2853- Varying option space code and length bit widths (8/16/32) are now
51202707 2854 supported. This is a milestone in achieving RFC 3925 "VIVSO" and
f7fdb216
DH
2855 DHCPv6 support.
2856
5e864416
DH
2857- A new common (server or client) option, 'db-time-format local;', has
2858 been added which prints the local time in /var/db/dhcpd.leases rather
2859 than UTC. Thanks to a patch from Ken Lalonde.
2860
b500bd4c
DH
2861- Some patches to improve DHCP Server startup speed from Andrew Matheson
2862 have been incorporated.
2863
2426234f
DH
2864- Failover pairs now implement 'MAC Affinity' on leases moving from the
2865 active to free states. Leases that belonged to the failover secondary
2866 are moved to BACKUP state rather than FREE upon exiting EXPIRED state.
2867 If lease rebalancing must move leases, it tries first to move leases
2868 that belong to the peer in need.
2869
2870- The server no longer sends POOLREQ messages unless the pool is severely
2871 misbalanced in the peer's favor (see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more details).
2872
2873- Pool rebalance events no longer happen upon successfully allocating a
2874 lease. Instead, they happen on a schedule. See 'man dhcpd.conf' for the
2875 min-balance and max-balance statements for more information.
2876
334bf491
DH
2877- The DHCP Relay Agent Information Option / Link Selection Sub-Option
2878 is now supported. (See RFC3527 for details).
2879
3004bebf
DH
2880- A new DDNS related server option, update-conflict-detection, has been
2881 added. If this option is enabled, dhcpd will perform normal DHCID
2882 conflict resolution (the default). If this option is disabled, it will
2883 instead trust the assigned name implicitly (removing any other bindings
2884 on that name). This option has not been made available in dhclient.
2885
567e8561
DH
2886- In those cases where the DHCP software manufactures an IP header (to
2887 transmit via bpf, lpf, etc), the IP TTL the software selects has been
2888 increased from 16 to 128. This is intended to match Microsoft Windows
2889 DHCP Client behaviour, to increase compatibility.
2890
a396d25f
DH
2891- 'ignore client-updates;' now has behaviour that is different from
2892 'deny client-updates;'. The client's request is not truly ignored,
2893 rather it is encouraged. Should this value be configured, the server
2894 updates DNS as though client-updates were set to 'deny'. That is, it
2895 enters into DNS whatever it is configured to do already, provided it is
2896 configured to. Then it sends a response to the client that lets the
2897 client believe it is performing client updates (which it will), probably
2898 for a different name. In essence, this lets the client do as it will,
2899 ignoring this aspect of their request.
2900
dba5803b
DH
2901- Support for compressed 'domain name list' style DHCP option contents, and
2902 in particular the domain search option (#119) was added.
2903
41e45067 2904- The DHCP LEASEQUERY protocol as defined in RFC4388 is now implemented.
6d103865
SK
2905 LEASEQUERY lets you query the DHCP server for information about a lease,
2906 using either an IP address, MAC address, or client identifier. Thanks
2907 to a patch from Justin Haddad.
2908
41e45067
DH
2909- DHCPD is now RFC2131 section 4.1 compliant (broadcast to all-ones ip and
2910 ethernet mac address) on the SCO platform specifically without any strange
2911 ifconfig hacks. Many thanks go to the Kroger Co. for donating the
2912 hardware and funding the development.
6d103865 2913
b543fea9
DH
2914- A new common configuration executable statement, execute(), has been
2915 added. This permits dhcpd or dhclient to execute a named external
2916 program with command line arguments specified from other configuration
2917 language. Thanks to a patch written by Mattias Ronnblom, gotten to us
2918 via Robin Breathe.
2919
b22de500
DH
2920- A new dhcp server option 'adaptive-lease-time-threshold' has been added
2921 which causes the server to substantially reduce lease-times if there are
2922 few (configured percentage) remaining leases. Thanks to a patch submitted
2923 from Christof Chen.
2924
96bbe8c5
SK
2925- Encapsulated option spaces within encapsulated option spaces is now
2926 formally supported.
2927
b8221d95
DH
2928 Changes since 3.0.6rc1
2929
2930- supersede_lease() now requeues leases in their respective hardware
2931 address hash bucket. This mirrors client identifier behaviour.
2932
c1e6c832
DH
2933 Changes since 3.0.5
2934
f546c28b
DH
2935- Assorted fixes for broken network devices: Packet length is now
2936 determined from the IP header length field to finally calculate the
2937 UDP payload length, because some NIC drivers return more data than
5a22eb63 2938 they actually received.
f546c28b
DH
2939
2940- UDP packets are now stored in aligned data structures.
2941
c1e6c832
DH
2942- A logic error in omapi interface code was repaired that might result in
2943 incorrectly indicating 'up' state when any flags were set, rather than
23e10d37
DH
2944 specifically the INTERFACE_REQUESTED flag. Thanks to a patch from
2945 Jochen Voss which got to us via Andrew Pollock at Debian.
c1e6c832 2946
75ab3070
DH
2947- A reference leak on binding scopes set by ddns updates was repaired.
2948
d69fb6a8 2949- A memory leak in the minires_nsendsigned() function call was repaired.
23e10d37 2950 Effectively, this leaked ~176 bytes per DDNS update.
d69fb6a8 2951
02428754
DH
2952- In the case where an "L2" DHCP Relay Agent (one that does not set giaddr)
2953 was directly attached to the same broadcast domain as the DHCP server,
2954 the RFC3046 relay agent information option was not being returned to the
2955 relay in the server's replies. This was fixed; the dhcp server no longer
2956 requires the giaddr to reply with relay agent information. Note that
2957 this also improves compatibility with L2 devices that "intercept" DHCP
2958 packets and expect relay agent information even in unicast (renewal)
23e10d37
DH
2959 replies. Thanks to a patch from Pekka Silvonen.
2960
2961- A bug was fixed where the BOOTP header 'sname' field had a value, the
2962 copy written to persistent storage was actually the contents of the
2963 'file' field.
02428754 2964
ecde99a3
DH
2965- A bug was fixed where the nwip virtual option space was referencing
2966 the fqdn option's virtual option space's option cache.
2967
67674ffb
DH
2968- Timestamp parsing errors that indicated missing "minutes" fields rather
2969 than the actually missing "seconds" fields have been repaired thanks to
2970 a patch from Kevin Steves.
2971
830ebc4c
DH
2972- A grammar error in the dhclient.8 manpage was repaired thanks to a patch
2973 from Chris Wagner.
2974
c759db75
DH
2975- Several spelling typos were repaired, and some cross-references to other
2976 relevant documents were included in the manpages, thanks to a patch
2977 by Andrew Pollock which got to us via Tomas Pospisek.
2978
9aa3f3a5
DH
2979- Some bugs were fixed in the 'emergency relay agent options hologram'
2980 which is used to retain relay agent option contents from when the
2981 client was in INIT or REBIND states. This should solve problems where
2982 relay agent options were not echoed from the server, even when giaddr
2983 was set.
2984
3d0c598a
DH
2985- dhclient now closes its descriptor to dhclient.leases prior to executing
2986 dhclient-script. Thanks to a patch from Tomas Pospisek.
2987
d5b6835f
DH
2988- The server's "by client-id" and "by hardware address" hash table lists
2989 are now sorted according to the preference to re-allocate that lease to
2990 returning clients. This should eliminate pool starvation problems
2991 arising when "INIT" clients were given new leases rather than presently
2992 active ones.
2993
02428754 2994 Changes since 3.0.5rc1
0a73b7b6 2995
901306d5 2996- A bug was repaired in fixes to the dhclient, which sought to run the
0a73b7b6
SK
2997 dhclient-script with the 'EXPIRE' state should it receive a NAK in
2998 response to a REQUEST. The client now iterates the PREINIT state
2999 after the EXPIRE state, so that interfaces that might be configured
3000 'down' can be brought back 'up' and initialized.
3001
87a08ccc
DH
3002- DHCPINFORM handling for clients that properly set ciaddr and come to the
3003 server via a relay aget has been repaired.
3004
6da113fb
DH
3005 Changes since 3.0.4
3006
3007- A warning that host statements declared within subnet or shared-network
3008 scopes are actually global has been added.
3009
3010- The default minimum lease time (if min-lease-time was not specified)
3011 was raised from 0 to 300. 0 is not thought to be sensible, and is
3012 known to be damaging.
3013
3014- Added additional fatal error sanity checks surrounding lease binding
3015 state count calculations (free/active counts used for failover pool
3016 balancing).
3017
dcc557db
DH
3018- Some time value size fixes in 3.0.4 brought on from FreeBSD /usr/ports were
3019 misapplied to server values rather than client values. The server no longer
3020 advertises 8-byte lease-time options when on 64-bit platforms.
3021
1b2ab55f
DH
3022- A bug where leases not in ACTIVE state would get billed to billed classes
3023 (classes with lease limitations) was fixed. Non-active leases OFFERed
3024 to clients are no longer billed (but billing is checked before offering).
3025
e48891e8
DH
3026- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated in regard to the ddns-domainname
3027 configuration option - the default configuration and results should be
3028 more clear now.
3029
6cbc6629
DH
3030- If the dhclient were to receive a DHCPNAK while it was in the RENEW
3031 state (and consequently, had an active, 'bound' address and related
3032 configuration options), it would fail to 'tear down' this information
3033 before proceeding into INIT state. dhclient now iterates the dhclient-
3034 script with the 'EXPIRE' action to cause these teardowns prior to entering
1d3bfb17 3035 INIT state. Thanks to a patch from Chris Zimmerman.
6cbc6629 3036
c5fec5fa
DH
3037- The omapi.1 manpage had some formatting errors repaired thanks to a patch
3038 from Yoshihiko Sarumaru.
3039
33e1cb2b
DH
3040- A few lines of code that were failover-specific were moved within
3041 #if defined() clauses so that compilation without failover could be
3042 made possible.
3043
2bddf829
DH
3044- The log message emitted when the 'leased-address' value was not available
3045 in dhcpd.conf "executable statements" has been updated to be more helpful.
3046 Manpage information for this value has also been updated.
3047
87578987
DH
3048- Abandoned or dissociated (err condition) leases now remove any related
3049 dynamic dns bindings. Thanks to a patch from Patrick Schoo.
3050
e77c575f
DH
3051- Attempting to write a new lease file to replace a corrupt (due to
3052 encountering non-retryable errors during writing) lease file should
3053 no longer result in an infinite recursion.
3054
2178df03
DH
3055- Host declaration hardware addresses and client identifiers may only be
3056 configured once. dhcpd will now fail to load config files that specify
3057 multiple identifiers (previous versions would silently over-ride the
3058 value with the later configured value).
3059
d5341d9b
SK
3060- Several option codes that have been allocated since our last release
3061 have been named and documented.
3062
3063- Option names of the form "unknown-123" have been removed from the in-
3064 memory hash tables. In order to support options of these names that
3065 may appear in dhclient.leases or similar in previous versions, the
3066 parser will now find the new option code definition, or mock up a
3067 generic option code definition. This should result in a smooth
3068 transition from one name to the other, as the new name is used to
3069 write new output.
3070
6da113fb
DH
3071 Changes since 3.0.4rc1
3072
3073- The dhcp-options.5 manpage was updated to correct indentation errors
3074 thanks to a patch from Jean Delvare.
3075
3076 Changes since 3.0.4b3
3077
3078- Some manual pages were clarified pursuant to discussion on the dhcp-server
3079 mailing list.
3080
88cd8aca
DH
3081 Changes since 3.0.4b2
3082
45d545f0 3083- Null-termination sensing for certain clients that unfortunately require
88cd8aca
DH
3084 it in DHCPINFORM processing was repaired.
3085
3086- The host-name option and a few others were moved from "X" format to "t"
3087 format to be compatible with new NULL handling functions.
3088
3089- DHCPINFORM processing is a little more careful about return addressing
3090 its responses, or if responding via a relay. The INFORM related
3091 messages also log the 'effective client ip address' rather than the
3092 client's supplied ciaddr (since some clients produce null ciaddrs).
3093
3094- The server was inappropriately sending leases to the RESET state in the
3095 event that multiple active leases were found to match a singly-identified
3096 client. This was changed to RELEASED (by accepting a different, ACTIVE
3097 binding, the client is implicitly releasing its lease). This repairs a
3098 bug wherein secondary servers in failover pairs detecting this condition
3099 move leases to RESET, and primaries refuse to accept that state
3100 transition (properly).
3101
3102- The memset-after-dmalloc() changes made in 3.0.4b1 have been backed out.
3103
3104 Changes since 3.0.4b1
3105
3106- Command line parsing in omshell was repaired - it no longer closes
3107 STDIN after reading one line.
3108
3109- The resolver library no longer closes the /etc/resolv.conf file
3110 descriptor it opened twice.
3111
3112- Changes to trailing NULL removal in 't' option-atoms has been rethought,
3113 it now includes 'd' (domain name) types, and tries hard not to rewind an
3114 option beyond the start of the text field it is un-terminating.
3115
3116 Changes since 3.0.3
3117
3118- A DDNS update handling function was misusing the DNS error codes, rather
3119 than the internal generic result enumeration. The result is a confusing
3120 syslog line, logging the wrong condition.
3121
3122- The DHCP Server was not checking pool balance in the case where it brought
3123 a non-ACTIVE lease out of storage for a client that was returning to use
3124 a lease it once had long ago, and had since expired.
3125
3126- Failover peers no longer bother to look for free leases to allocate when
3127 they already found the client's ACTIVE lease. DISCOVERs are load balanced
98bd7ca0 3128 whether freely-allocated or not, unless the server doubts the peer has
88cd8aca
DH
3129 leases to allocate.
3130
3131- Fixed a bug in dhcrelay agent addition code that suppressed trailing
45d545f0 3132 PAD options - it was suppressing only one trailing PAD option, rather
88cd8aca
DH
3133 than the entire block of them.
3134
3a16098f
DH
3135! Fixed some unlikely overlapping-region memcpy() bugs in dhcrelay agent
3136 option addition and stripping code. Added a few sanity checks. Although
3137 highly improbable, due to requiring the reception of a DHCP datagram well
3138 in excess of all known to be used physical MTU limitations, it is possible
3139 this may have been used in a stack overflow security vulnerability. Thanks
3140 to a patch from infamous42md.
3141
3142! Added some sanity checks to OMAPI connection/authentication code.
3143 Although highly improbable, due to having to deliver in excess of 2^32
3144 bytes of data via the OMAPI channel, not to mention requiring dhcpd to
3145 be able to malloc() a memory region 2^32 bytes in size, it was possible
3146 this might have resulted in a heap overflow security vulnerability.
3147 Thanks to a patch from infamous42md.
88cd8aca
DH
3148
3149- dmalloc() memset()'s the non-debug (data) portion of the allocated
3150 memory to zero. Code that memset()'s the result returned by dmalloc() to
3151 zero is redundant. These redundancies were removed.
3152
3153- Some type declaration corrections to u_int16_t were made in common/tr.c
4b97eaff 3154 (Token Ring support) thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
88cd8aca
DH
3155
3156- A failover bug that was allowing leases that EXPIRED or were RELEASED
3157 where tsfp and tstp are identical timestamps to languish in these
3158 transitional states has been repaired. As a side effect, lease
3159 databases should be kept more consistent overall, not just for these
3160 transitional states.
3161
3162- If the lease db is deleted out from under the daemon, and it moves to rewrite
3163 the db, it will go ahead with the operation and move the new db into place
3164 once it detects the old db does not exist.
3165
3166- dhclient now ignores IRDA, SIT, and IEEE1394 network interfaces, as it
3167 is either nonsensical or (in the case of IEEE1394) is not known to support
3168 these interfaces. Thanks to Marius Gedminas and Andrew Pollock of Debian.
3169
3170- Some previously undocumented reasons for dhclient-script invoking has
45d545f0 3171 been documented in the dhclient-script.8 manpage.
88cd8aca
DH
3172
3173- Failover potential expiry calculations (TSTP) have been corrected. Results
3174 should be substantially more consistent, and proper given the constraints.
3175
3176- Adjusted lease state validation checks in potential-conflict, to
3177 account for possible clock skew similarly to normal state, and several
3178 previously illegal transitions were made legal (ex: active->released).
3179
3180- An impossible sanity check was removed from omapi/buffer.c, thanks to a
3181 patch from 'infamous42md'.
3182
3183- An OMAPI host/network byte order problem in lease time values has been
3184 repaired.
3185
3186- Several minor bugs, largely relating to treating 8-byte time values as
3187 4-byte entities, have been repaired after careful review of the FreeBSD
3188 ports collection's patch set. Thanks to the nameless entities who have
3189 contributed to the FreeBSD ports.
3190
3191- When writing a trace file, the file is now created with permissions 0600,
3192 to help administrators avoid accidentally publicising sensitive config
3193 data.
3194
3195- The calculation of the maximum size of DHCP packets no longer includes
3196 Ethernet framing overhead. The result is that the 'Maximum Message
3197 Size' option advertised by clients, or the default value 576, is no
3198 longer reduced by 14 bytes, and instead directly reflects the IP level
3199 MTU (and the default, minimum allowed IP MTU of 576).
3200
3201- The special status of RELEASED/EXPIRED/RESET leases when a server
3202 is operating in partner-down was fixed. It no longer requires a
3203 lease be twice the MCLT beyond STOS to 'reallocate', and the expiry
3204 event to turn these into FREE leases without peer acknowledgement
3205 (after STOS+MCLT) has been repaired.
3206
3207- Compilation on older Solaris systems (lacking /usr/include/sys/int_types.h)
3208 has been repaired.
3209
3210- "append"ing a string onto the end of a "t" type option (such as the
3211 domain-name field) that had been improperly NULL-terminated by the
3212 DHCP server will no longer result in a truncated string containing
3213 only the option from the server, and not the expected appended value.
4b97eaff 3214 Thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.

3215
3216- File handlers on configuration state (config files and lease dbs) should
98bd7ca0 3217 be treated consistently, regardless of whether TRACING is defined or not.
88cd8aca 3218
45d545f0 3219- The Linux build environment has had some minor improvements - better
88cd8aca
DH
3220 sensing of 64-bit pointer sizes (only used for establishing an icmp_id),
3221 and corrections to #if operators regarding LINUX_MAJOR should it ever
3222 move to 3.[01].x.
3223
3224- The server now tries harder to survive the condition where it is unable
3225 to open a new lease file to rewrite the lease state database.
3226

3227 Changes since 3.0.3b3
3228
3229- dhclient.conf documentation for interface {} was updated to reflect recent
3230 discussion on the dhcp-hackers mailing list.
3231
3232- In response to reports that the software does not compile on GCC 4.0.0,
3233 -Werror was removed from Makefile.conf for all platforms that used it.
3234 We will address the true problem in a future release; this is a temporary
3235 workaround.
3236
3237 Changes since 3.0.3b2
3238
3239- An error in code changes introduced in 3.0.3b2 was corrected, which caused
3240 static BOOTP clients to receive random addresses.
3241
3242 Changes since 3.0.3b1
3243
3244- A bug was fixed in BOOTPREQUEST handling code wherein stale references to
3245 host records would be left behind on leases that were not allocated to the
3246 client currently booting (eg in the case where the host was denied booting).
3247
3248- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated to be more clear in regards to
3249 multiple host declarations (thanks to Vincent McIntyre). 'Interim' style
3250 dynamic updates were also retouched.
3251
98311e4b
DH
3252 Changes since 3.0.2
3253
3254- A bug was fixed where a server might load balance a DHCP REQUEST to its
45d545f0 3255 peer after already choosing not to load balance the preceding DISCOVER.
98311e4b
DH
3256 The peer cannot allocate the originating server's lease.
3257
3258- In the case where a secondary server lost its stable storage while the
3259 primary was still in communications-interrupted, and came back online,
3260 the lease databases would not be fully transferred to the secondary.
3261 This was due to the secondary errantly sending an extra UPDREQ message
3262 when the primary made its state transition to PARTNER-DOWN known.
3263
3264- The package will now compile cleanly in gcc 3.3 and 3.4. As a side effect,
3265 lease structures will be 9 bytes smaller on all platforms. Thanks to
4b97eaff 3266 Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3267
3268- Interface discovery code in DISCOVER_UNCONFIGURED mode is now
3269 properly restricted to only detecting broadcast interfaces. Thanks
4b97eaff 3270 to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3271
3272- decode_udp_ip_header was changed so that the IP address was copied out
3273 to a variable, rather than referenced by a pointer. This enforces 4-byte
3274 alignment of the 32-bit IP address value. Thanks to a patch from Dr.
3275 Peter Poeml.
3276
3277- An incorrect log message was corrected thanks to a patch from
3278 Dr. Peter Poeml.
3279
3280- A bug in DDNS was repaired, where if the server's first DDNS action was
3281 a DDNS removal rather than a DDNS update, the resolver library's
3282 retransmit timer and retry timer was set to the default, implying a
3283 15 second timeout interval. Which is a little excessive in a synchronous,
3284 single-threaded system. In all cases, ISC DHCP should now hold fast to
3285 a 1-second timeout, trying only once.
3286
3287- The siaddr field was being improperly set to the server-identifier when
3288 responding to DHCP messages. RFC2131 clarified the siaddr field as
3289 meaning the 'next server in the bootstrap process', eg a tftp server.
3290 The siaddr field is now left zeroed unless next-server is configured.
3291
3292- mockup_lease() could have returned in an error condition (or in the
3293 condition where no fixed-address was found matching the shared
3294 network) with stale references to a host record. This is probably not
3295 a memory leak since host records generally never die anyway.
3296
3297- A bug was repaired where failover servers would let stale client identifiers
3298 persist on leases that were reallocated to new clients not sending an id.
3299
3300- Binding scopes ("set var = value;") are now removed from leases allocated
3301 by failover peers if the lease had expired. This should help reduce the
3302 number of stale binding scopes on leases.
3303
3304- A small memory leak was closed involving client identifiers larger than
3305 7 bytes, and failover.
3306
3307- Configuring a subnet in dhcpd.conf with a subnet mask of 32 bits might
3308 cause an internal function to overflow heap. Thanks to Jason Vas Dias
4b97eaff 3309 at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3310
3311- Some inconsistencies in treating numbers that the lexer parsed as 'NUMBER'
3312 or 'NUMBER_OR_NAME' was repaired. Hexadecimal parsing is affected, and
3313 should work better.
3314
3315- In several cases, parse warnings were being issued before the lexical
3316 token had been advanced to the token whose value was causing an error...
3317 causing parse warnings to claim the problem is on the wrong token.
3318
3319- Host declarations matching on client identifier for dynamic leases will
3320 no longer match fixed-address host declarations (this is now identical
3321 to behaviour for host records matching on hardware address).
3322
3323 Changes since 3.0.2rc3
3324
3325- A previously undocumented configuration directive, 'local-address',
3326 was documented in the dhcpd.conf manpage.
3327
3328 Changes since 3.0.2rc2
3329
45d545f0 3330- Two variables introduced in 3.0.2b1 were used without being initialized
98311e4b
DH
3331 in the case where neither the FILE nor SNAME fields were available for
3332 overloading. This was repaired.
3333
3334- A heretofore believed to be impossible corner case of the option
3335 overloading implementation turned out to be possible ("Unable to sort
3336 overloaded options after 10 tries."). The implementation was reworked
3337 to consider the case of an option so large it would require more than
3338 three chunks to fit.
3339
3340- Many other instances of variables being used without being initialized
3341 were repaired.
3342
3343- An uninitialized variable in omapi_io_destroy() led to the discovery
3344 that this function may result in orphaned pointers (and hence, a memory
3345 leak).
3346
3347 Changes since 3.0.2rc1
3348
3349- allocate_lease() was rewritten to repair a bug in which the server would
3350 try to allocate an ABANDONED lease when FREE leases were available.
3351
3352 Changes since 3.0.2b1
3353
3354- Some dhcp-eval.5 manpage formatting was repaired.
3355
3356 Changes since 3.0.1
3357
3358- A bug was fixed in the server's 'option overloading' implementation,
3359 where options loaded into the 'file' and 'sname' packet fields were
3360 not aligned precisely as rfc2131 dictates.
3361
3362- The FreeBSD client script was changed to support the case where a domain
3363 name was not provided by the server.
3364
3365- A memory leak in 'omshell' per each command line parsed was
3366 repaired, thanks to a patch from Jarkko Torppa.
3367
3368- Log functions writing to stderr were adjusted to use the STDERR_FILENO
3369 system definition rather than '2'. This is a no-op for 90% of platforms.
3370
3371- One call to trace_write_packet_iov() counted the number of io vectors
3372 incorrectly, causing inconsistent tracefiles. This was fixed.
3373
3374- Some expression parse failure memory leaks were closed.
3375
3376- A host byte order problem in tracefiles was repaired.
3377
3378- Pools configured in DHCPD for failover possessing permission lists that
adb95d23 3379 previously were assumed to not include dynamic bootp clients are now
98311e4b
DH
3380 a little more pessimistic. The result is, dhcpd will nag you about just
3381 about most pools that possess a 'allow' statement with no 'deny' that
3382 would definitely match a dynamic bootp client.
3383
3384- The 'ddns-update-style' configuration warning bit now insists that
3385 the configuration be globally scoped.
3386
3387- Two memory leaks in dhclient were closed thanks to a patch from Felix
3388 Farkas.
3389
3390- Some minor but excellently pedantic documentation errors were fixed
3391 thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
3392
3393- Bugs in operator precedence in executable statements have been repaired
3394 once again. More legal syntaxes should be parsed legally.
3395
3396- Failing to initialize a tracefile for any reason if a tracefile was
3397 specified is now a fatal error. Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
3398
3399- Corrected a bug in which the number of leases transferred as calculated
3400 by the failover primary and sent to peers in POOLRESP responses may be
3401 incorrect. This value is not believed to be used by other failover
3402 implementations, excepting perhaps as logged information.
3403
3404- Corrected a bug in which 'dhcp_failover_send_poolresp()' was in fact
3405 sending POOLREQ messages instead of POOLRESP mesasges. This message
3406 was essentially ignored since failover secondaries effectively do not
3407 respond to POOLREQ messages.
3408
3409- Type definitions for various bitwidths of integers in the sunos5-5
3410 build of ISC DHCP have been fixed. It should compile and run more
3411 easily when built in 64-bit for this platform.
3412
3413- "allow known-clients;" is now a legal syntax, to avoid confusion.
3414
3415- If one dhcp server chooses to 'load balance' a request to its failover
3416 peer, it first checks to see if it believes said peer has a free
3417 lease to allocate before ignoring the DISCOVER.
3418
3419- log() was logging a work buffer, rather than the value returned by
3420 executing the statements configured by the user. In some cases,
3421 the work buffer and the intended results were the same. In some other
3422 cases, they were not. This was fixed thanks to a patch from Gunnar
3423 Fjone and directconnect.no.
3424
3425- Compiler warnings for some string type conversions was fixed, thanks
3426 to Andreas Gustafsson.
3427
3428- The netbsd build environments were simplified to one, in which
3429 -Wconversion is not used, thanks to Andreas Gustafsson.
3430
3431- How randomness in the backoff-cutoff dhclient configuration variable
3432 is implemented was better documented in the manpage, and the behaviour
3433 of dhclient in REQUEST timeout handling was changed to match that of
3434 DISCOVER timeout handling.
3435
3436- Omapi was hardened against clients that pass in null values, thanks
3437 to a patch from Mark Jason Dominus.
3438
3439- A bug was fixed in dhclient that kept it from doing client-side
3440 ddns updates. Thanks to a patch from Andreas Gustafsson, which
3441 underwent some modification after review by Jason Vas Dias.
3442
3443- Failover implementations disconnected due to the network between
3444 them (rather than one of the two shutting down) will now try to
3445 re-establish the failover connection every 5 seconds, rather than
3446 to simply try once and give up until one of them is restarted.
3447 Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from Infoblox, and field testing
3448 by Greger V. Teigre which led to an enhancement to it.
3449
3450- A problem that kept DHCP Failover secondaries from tearing down
3451 ddns records was repaired. Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from
3452 Infoblox.
3453
3454- 64bit pointer sizes are detected properly on FreeBSD now.
3455
3456- A bug was repaired where the DHCP server would leave stale references
3457 to host records on leases it once thought about offering to certain
3458 clients. The result would be to apply host and 'known' scopes to the
3459 wrong clients (possibly denying booting). NOTE: The 'mis-host' patch
3460 that was being circulated as a workaround is not the way this bug was
3461 fixed. If you were a victim of this bug in 3.0.1, you are cautioned
3462 to proceed carefully and see if it fixes your problem.
3463
3464- A bug was repaired in the server's DHCPINFORM handling, where it
3465 tried to divine the client's address from the source packet and
3466 would get it wrong. Thanks to Anshuman Singh Rawat.
3467
3468- A log message was introduced to help illuminate the case where the
3469 server was unable to find a lease to assign to any BOOTP client.
3470 Thanks to Daniel Baker.
3471
3472- A minor dhcpd.conf.5 manpage error was fixed.
3473
3474 Changes since 3.0.1rc14
3475
3476- The global variable 'cur_time' was centralized and is now uniformly of a
3477 type #defined in system-dependent headers. It had previously been defined
3478 in one of many places as a 32-bit value, and this causes mayhem on 64-bit
3479 big endian systems. It probably wasn't too healthy on little endian
3480 systems either.
3481
3482- A printf format string error introduced in rc14 was repaired.
3483
3484- AIX system-dependent header file was altered to only define NO_SNPRINTF
3485 if the condition used to #ifdef in vsnprintf in AIX' header files
3486 is false.
3487
3488- The Alpha/OSF system-dependent header file was altered to define
3489 NO_SNPRINTF on OS revisions older than 4.0G.
3490
3491- omapip/test.c had string.h added to its includes.
3492
3493 Changes since 3.0.1rc13
3494
3495! CAN-2004-0460 - CERT VU#317350: Five stack overflow exploits were closed
3496 in logging messages with excessively long hostnames provided by the
3497 clients. It is highly probable that these could have been used by
3498 attackers to gain arbitrary root access on systems using ISC DHCP 3.0.1
3499 release candidates 12 or 13. Special thanks to Gregory Duchemin for
3500 both finding and solving the problem.
3501
3502! CAN-2004-0461 - CERT VU#654390: Once the above was closed, an opening
45d545f0 3503 in log_*() functions was evidenced, on some specific platforms where
98311e4b
DH
3504 vsnprintf() was not believed to be available and calls were wrapped to
3505 sprintf() instead. Again, credit goes to Gregory Duchemin for finding
3506 the problem. Calls to snprintf() are now linked to a distribution-local
3507 snprintf implementation, only in those cases where the architecture is
3508 not known to provide one (see includes/cf/[arch].h). If you experience
3509 linking problems with snprintf/vsnprintf or 'isc_print_' functions, this
3510 is where to look. This vulnerability did not exist in any previously
3511 published version of ISC DHCP.
3512
3513- Compilation on hpux 11.11 was repaired.
3514
3515- 'The cross-compile bug fix' was backed out.
3516
3517 Changes since 3.0.1rc12
3518
3519- Fixed a bug in omapi lease lookup function, to form the hardware
3520 address for the hash lookup correctly, thanks to a patch from
3521 Richard Hirst.
3522
3523- Fixed a bug where dhcrelay was sending relayed responses back to the
3524 broadcast address, but with the source's unicast mac address. Should
3525 now conform to rfc2131 section 4.1.
3526
3527- Cross-compile bug fix; use $(AR) instead of ar. Thanks to Morten Brorup.
3528
3529- Fixed a crash bug in dhclient where dhcpd servers that do not provide
3530 renewal times results in an FPE. As a side effect, dhclient can now
3531 properly handle 0xFFFFFFFF (-1) expiry times supplied by servers. Thanks
3532 to a patch from Burt Silverman.
3533
3534- The 'ping timeout' debugs from rc12 were removed to -DDEBUG only,
45d545f0 3535 and reformatted to correct a compilation error on Solaris platforms.
98311e4b
DH
3536
3537- A patch was applied which fixes a case where leases read from the
3538 leases database do not properly over-ride previously read leases.
3539
3540- dhcpctl.3 manpage was tweaked.
3541
3542 Changes since 3.0.1rc11
3543
3544- A patch from Steve Campbell was applied with minor modifications to
3545 permit reverse dns PTR record updates with values containing spaces.
3546
3547- A patch from Florian Lohoff was applied with some modifications to
3548 dhcrelay. It now discards packets whose hop count exceeds 10 by default,
3549 and a command-line option (-c) can be used to set this threshold.
3550
3551- A failover bug relating to identifying peers by name length instead of
3552 by name was fixed.
3553
45d545f0 3554- Declaring failover configs within shared-network statements should no
98311e4b
DH
3555 longer result in error.
3556
3557- The -nw command line option to dhclient now works.
3558
3559- Thanks to a patch from Michael Richardson:
3560 - Some problems with long option processing have been fixed.
3561 - Some fixes to minires so that updates of KEY records will work.
3562
3563- contrib/ms2isc was updated by Shu-Min Chang of the Intel Corporation.
3564 see contrib/ms2isc/readme.txt for revision notes.
3565
3566- Dhclient no longer uses shell commands to kill another instance of
3567 itself, it sends the signal directly. Thanks to a patch from Martin
3568 Blapp.
3569
3570- The FreeBSD dhclient-script was changed so that a failure to write to
3571 /etc/resolv.conf does not prematurely end the script. This keeps dhclient
3572 from looping infinitely when this is the case. Thanks to a patch from
3573 Martin Blapp.
3574
3575- A patch from Bill Stephens was applied which resolves a problem with lease
3576 expiry times in failover configurations.
3577
3578- A memory leak in configuration parsing was closed thanks to a patch from
3579 Steve G.
3580
3581- The function which discovers interfaces will now skip non-broadcast or
3582 point-to-point interfaces, thanks to a patch from David Brownlee.
3583
3584- Options not yet known by the dhcpd or dhclient have had their names
3585 changed such that they do not contain # symbols, in case they should ever
3586 appear in a lease file. An option that might have been named "#144" is
3587 now "unknown-144".
3588
3589- Another patch from Bill Stephens which allows the ping-check timeout to
3590 be configured as 'ping-timeout'. Defaults to 1.
3591
3592 Changes since 3.0.1rc10
3593
3594- Potential buffer overflows in minires repaired.
3595
3596- A change to the linux client script to use /bin/bash, since /bin/sh may
3597 not be bash.
3598
3599- Some missing va_end cleanups thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
3600
3601- A correction of boolean parsing syntax validation - some illegal syntaxes
3602 that worked before are now detected and produce errs, some legal syntaxes
3603 that errored before will now work properly.
3604
3605- Some search-and-replace errors that caused some options to change their
3606 names was repaired.
3607
3608- Shu-min Chang of the Intel corporation has contributed a perl script and
3609 module that converts the MS NT4 DHCP configuration to a ISC DHCP3
3610 configuration file.
3611
3612- Applied the remainder of the dhcpctl memory leak patch provided by Bill
3613 Squier at ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
3614
3615- Missing non-optional failover peer configurations will now result in a soft
3616 error rather than a null dereference.
3617
3618 Changes since 3.0.1rc9
3619
3620- A format string was corrected to fix compiler warnings.
3621
3622- A number of spelling corrections were made in the man pages.
3623
3624- The dhclient.conf.5 man page was changed to refer to do-forward-updates
3625 rather than a configuration option that doesn't exist.
3626
3627- A FreeBSD-specific bug in the interface removal handling was fixed.
3628
3629- A Linux-specific Token Ring detection problem was fixed.
3630
3631- Hashes removed from as-yet-unknown agent options, having those options
3632 appear in reality before we know about them will no longer produce
3633 self-corrupting lease databases.
3634
3635- dhclient will use the proper port numbers now when using the -g option.
3636
3637- A order-of-operations bug with 2 match clauses in 1 class statement is
3638 fixed thanks to a patch from Andrew Matheson.
3639
3640- Compilation problems on Solaris were fixed.
3641
3642- Compilation problems when built with DEBUG or DEBUG_PACKET were repaired.
3643
3644- A fix to the dhcp ack process which makes certain group options will be
3645 included in the first DHCPOFFER message was made thanks to a patch from
3646 Ling Gou.
3647
3648- A few memory leaks were repaired thanks to patches from Bill Squier at
3649 ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
3650
3651- A fix for shared-networks that sometimes give clients options for the
3652 wrong subnets (in particular, 'option routers') was applied, thanks to
3653 Ted Lemon for the patch.
3654
3655- Omshell's handling of dotted octets as values was changed such that dots
3656 one after the other produce zero values in the integer string.
3657
3658 Changes since 3.0.1rc8
3659
3660- Fix a format string vulnerability in the server that could lead to a
3661 remote root compromise (discovered by NGSEC Research Team, www.ngsec.com).
3662
3663- Add additional support for NetBSD/sparc64.
3664
3665- Fix a bug in the command-line parsing of the client. Also, resolve
3666 a memory leak.
3667
3668- Add better support for shells other than bash in the Linux client
3669 script.
3670
3671- Various build fixes for modern versions of FreeBSD and Linux.
3672
3673- Fix a bad bounds check when printing binding state names.
3674
3675- Clarify documentation about fixed-address and multiple addresses.
3676
3677- Fix a typo in the authoritative error message.
3678
3679- Make a log entry when we can't write a billing class.
3680
3681- Use conversion targets that are the right size on all architectures.
3682
3683- Increment the hop count when relaying.
3684
3685- Log a message when lease state is changed through OMAPI.
3686
3687- Don't rerun the shared_network when evaluating the pool.
3688
3689- Fix a reversed test in the parser.
3690
3691- Change the type of rbuf_max.
3692
3693- Make FTS_LAST a manifest constant to quiet warnings.
3694
3695 Changes since 3.0.1rc7
3696
3697- Fix two compiler warnings that are generated when compiling on Solaris
3698 with gcc. These stop the build, even though they weren't actually
3699 errors, because we prefer that our builds generate no warnings.
3700
3701 Changes since 3.0.1rc6
3702
3703- Don't allow a lease that's in the EXPIRED, RELEASED or RESET state
3704 to be renewed.
3705
3706- Implement lease stealing for cases where the primary has fewer leases
3707 than the secondary, as called for by the standard.
3708
3709- Add a fudge factor to the lease expiry acceptance code, (suggested
3710 by Kevin Miller of CMU).
3711
3712- Fix a bug in permit_list_match that made it much too willing to say
3713 that two permit lists matched.
3714
3715- Unless DEBUG_DNS_UPDATES is defined, print more user-friendly (and
3716 also more compact) messages about DNS updates.
3717
3718- Fix a bug in generating wire-format domain names for the FQDN option.
3719
3720- Fix a bug where the FQDN option would not be returned if the client
3721 requested it, contrary to the standard.
3722
3723- On Darwin, use the FreeBSD DHCP client script.
3724
3725- On NetBSD/sparc, don't check for casting warnings.
3726
3727- Add a flag in the DHCP client to disable updating the client's A
3728 record when sending an FQDN option indicating that the client is
3729 going to update its A record.
3730
3731- In the client, don't attempt a DNS update until one second after
3732 configuring the new IP address, and if the update times out, keep
3733 trying until a response, positive or negative, is received from the
3734 DNS server.
3735
3736- Fix an uninitialized memory bug in the DHCP client.
3737
3738- Apply some FreeBSD-specific bug fixes suggested by Murray Stokely.
3739
3740- Fix a bug in ns_parserr(), where it was returning the wrong sort
3741 of result code in some cases (suggested by Ben Harris of the
3742 NetBSD project).
3743
3744- Fix a bug in is_identifier(), where it was checking against EOF
3745 instead of the END_OF_FILE token (also suggested by Ben Harris).
3746
3747- Fix a bug where if an option universe contained no options, the
3748 DHCP server could dump core (Walter Steiner).
3749
3750- Fix a bug in the handling of encapsulated options.
3751
3752- Fix a bug that prevented NWIP suboptions from being processed.
3753
3754- Delete the FTS_BOOTP and FTS_RESERVED states and implement them
3755 as modifier flags to the FTS_ACTIVE state, as called for in the
3756 failover protocol standard.
3757
3758- Fix bugs in the pool merging code that resulted in references and
3759 dereferences of null pointers. This bug had no impact unless the
3760 POINTER_DEBUG flag was defined.
3761
3762- In the server, added a do-forward-updates flag that can be used to
3763 disable forward updates in all cases, so that sites that want the
3764 clients to take sole responsibility for updating their A record can
3765 do so.
3766
3767- Make it possible to disable optimization of PTR record updates.
3768
3769 Changes since 3.0.1rc5
3770
3771- Include some new documentation and changes provided by Karl Auer.
3772
3773- Add a workaround for some Lexmark printers that send a double-NUL-
3774 terminated host-name option, which would break DNS updates.
3775
3776- Fix an off-by-one error in the MAC-address checking code for
3777 DHCPRELEASE that was added in 3.0.1rc5.
3778
3779- Fix a bug where client-specific information was not being discarded
3780 from the lease when it expired or was released, resulting in
3781 problems if the lease was reallocated to a different client.
3782
3783- If more than one allocation pool is specified that has the same set
3784 of constraints as another allocation pool on the same shared
3785 network, merge the two pools.
3786
3787- Don't print an error in fallback_discard, since this just causes
3788 confusion and does not appear to be helping to encourage anyone to
3789 fix this bug.
3790
3791 Changes since 3.0.1rc4
3792
3793- Fix a bug that would cause the DHCP server to spin if asked to parse
3794 a certain kind of incorrect statement.
3795
3796- Fix a related bug that would prevent an error from being reported in
3797 the same case.
3798
3799- Additional documentation.
3800
3801- Make sure that the hardware address matches the lease when
3802 processing a DHCPRELEASE message.
3803
3804 Changes since 3.0.1rc3
3805
3806- A minor bug fix in the arguments to a logging function call.
3807- Documentation update for dhcpd.conf.
3808
adbef119 3809 Changes since 3.0.1rc2

DH
3810
3811- Allow the primary to send a POOLREQ message. This isn't what the current
3812 failover draft says to do, so we may have to back it out if I can't get the
3813 authors to relent, but the scheme for balancing that's specified in the
3814 current draft seems needlessly hairy, so I'm floating a trial balloon.
3815 The rc1 code did not implement the method described in the draft either.
3816
adbef119 3817 Changes since 3.0.1rc1
98311e4b
DH
3818
3819- Treat NXDOMAIN and NXRRSET as success when we are trying to delete a
3820 domain or RRSET. This allows the DHCP server to forget about a name
3821 it added to the DNS once it's been removed, even if the DHCP server
3822 wasn't the one that removed it.
3823
3824- Install defaults for failover maximum outstanding updates and maximum
3825 silent time. This prevents problems that might occur if these values
3826 were not configured.
3827
3828- Don't do DDNS deletes if ddns-update-style is none.
3829
3830- Return relay agent information options in DHCPNAK. This prevents DHCPNAK
3831 messages from being dropped when the relay agent information option contains
3832 routing information.
3833
3834- Fix a problem where coming up in recover wouldn't result in an update
3835 request being sent.
3836
3837- Add some more chatty messages when we start a recovery update and when it's
3838 done.
3839
3840- Fix a possible problem where some state might have been left around
3841 after the peer lost contact and regained contact about how many updates
3842 were pending.
3843
3844- Don't nix a lease update because of a lease conflict. This test has
3845 never (as far as I know) prevented a mistake, and it appears to cause
3846 problems with failover.
3847
3848- Add support in rc history code for keeping a selective history, rather
3849 than a history of all references and dereferences. This code is only used
3850 when extensive additional debugging is enabled.
3851
adbef119 3852 Changes since 3.0
98311e4b
DH
3853
3854- Make allocators for hash tables. As a side effect, this fixes a memory
3855 smash in the subclass allocation code.
3856
3857- Fix a small bug in omshell where if you try to close an object when
3858 no object is open, it dumps core.
3859
3860- Fix an obscure coredump that could occur on shutdown.
3861
3862- Fix a bug in the recording of host declaration rubouts in the lease file.
3863
3864- Fix two potential spins in the host deletion code.
3865
3866- Fix a core dump that would happen if an application tried to update
3867 a host object attribute with a null value.
3868
3869 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 12
3870
3871- Fix a memory leak in the evaluation code.
3872
3873- Fix an obscure core dump.
3874
3875- Print a couple of new warnings when parsing the configuration file
3876 when crucial information is left out.
3877
3878- Log "no free leases" as an error.
3879
3880- Documentation updates.
3881
3882 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 11
3883
3884- Always return a subnet selection option if one is sent.
3885
3886- Fix a warning that was being printed because an automatic data
3887 structure wasn't zeroed.
3888
3889- Fix some failover state transitions that were being handled
3890 incorrectly.
3891
3892- When supersede_lease is called on a lease whose end time has already
3893 expired, but for which a state transition has not yet been done, do
3894 a state transition. This fixes the case where if the secondary
3895 allocated a lease to a client and the lease "expired" while the
3896 secondary was in partner-down, no expiry event would actually
3897 happen, so the lease would remain active until the primary was
3898 restarted.
3899
3900 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 10
3901
3902- Fix a bug that was preventing released leases from changing state
3903 in failover-enabled pools.
3904
3905- Fix a core dump in the client identifier finder code (for host
3906 declarations).
3907
3908- Finish fixing a bug where bogus data would sometimes get logged to
3909 the dhclient.leases file because it was opened as descriptor 2.
3910
3911- Fix the Linux dhclient-script according to suggestions made by
3912 several people on the dhcp-client mailing list.
3913
3914- Log successful DNS updates at LOG_INFO, not LOG_ERROR.
3915
3916- Print an error message and refuse to run if a failover peer is
3917 defined but not referenced by any pools.
3918
3919- Correct a confusing error message in failover.
3920

d758ad8c
TL
3933 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8 Patchlevel 1
3934
3935- Fix a parsing bug that broke dns updates (both interim and ad-hoc).
3936 This was introduced in rc8pl1 as an unintended result of the memory
3937 leakage fixes that were in pl1.
3938
3939- Fix a long-standing bug where the server would record that an update
3940 had been done for a client with no name, even though no update had
3941 been done, and then when the client's lease expired the deletion of
3942 that nonexistant record would time out because the name was the null
9a111ee8 3943 string.
d758ad8c
TL
3944
3945- Clean up the omshell, dhcpctl and omapi man pages a bit.

3948
3949- Fix a bug that could cause the DHCP server to spin if
3950 one-lease-per-client was enabled.
3951
3952- Fix a bug that was causing core dumps on BSD/os in the presence of
3953 malformed packets.
3954
3955- In partner-down state, don't restrict lease lengths to MCLT.
3956
3957- On the failover secondary, record the MCLT received from the primary
3958 so that if we come up without a connection to the primary we don't
3959 wind up giving out zero-length leases.
3960
3961- Fix some compilation problems on BSD/os.
3962
3963- Fix a bunch of memory leaks.
3964
3965- Fix a couple of bugs in the option printer.
3966
3967- Fix an obscure error reporting bug in the dns update code, and also
3968 make the message clearer when a key algorithm isn't supported.
3969
3970- Fix a bug in the tracing code that prevented trace runs that used
3971 tcp connections from being played back.
3972
3973- Add some additional debugging capability for catching memory leaks
3974 on exit.
3975
3976- Make the client release the lease correctly on shutdown.
3977
3978- Add some configurability to the build system.
3979
3980- Install omshell manual page in man1, not man8.
3981
3982- Craig Gwydir sent in a patch that fixes a long-standing bug in the
3983 DHCP client that could cause core dumps, but that for some reason
3984 hadn't been noticed until now.
3985
3986 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 7
3987
3988- Fix a bug in failover where we weren't sending updates after a
3989 transition from communications-interrupted to normal.
3990
3991- Handle expired/released/reset -> free transition according to the
3992 protocol specification (this works - the other way not only wasn't
3993 conformant, but also didn't work).
3994
3995- Add a control object in both client and server that allows either
3996 daemon to be shut down cleanly.
3997
3998- When writing a lease, if we run out of disk space, shut down the
3999 output file and insist on writing a new one before proceeding.
4000
4001- In the server, if the OMAPI listener port is occupied, keep trying
4002 to get it, rather than simply giving up and exiting.
4003
4004- Support fetching variables from leases and also updating and adding
4005 variables to leases via OMAPI.
4006
4007- If two failover peers have wildly different clocks, refuse to start
4008 doing failover.
4009
4010- Fix a bug in the DNS update code that could cause core dumps when
4011 running on alpha processors.
4012
4013- Fixed a bug in ddns updates for static lease entries, thanks to a
4014 patch from Andrey M Linkevitch.
4015
4016- Add support for Darwin/MacOS X
4017
4018- Install omshell (including new documentation).
4019
4020- Support DNS updates in the client (this is a very obscure feature
4021 that most DHCP client users probably will not be able to use).
4022
4023- Somewhat cleaner status logging in the client.
4024
4025- Make OMAPI key naming syntax compatible with the way keys are
4026 actually named (key names are domain names).
4027
4028- Fix a bug in the lease file writer.
4029
4030- Install DHCP ISC headers in a different place than BIND 9 ISC
4031 headers, to avoid causing trouble in BIND 9 builds.
4032
4033- Don't send updates for attributes on an object when the attributes
4034 haven't changed. Support deleting attributes on remote objects.
4035
4036- Fix a number of bugs in omshell, and add the unset and refresh
4037 statements.
4038
4039- Handle disconnects in OMAPI a little bit more intelligently (so that
4040 the caller gets ECONNRESET instead of EINVAL).
4041
4042- Fix a bunch of bugs in the handling of clients that have existing
4043 leases when the try to renew their leases while failover is
4044 operating.
4045
eaf0b302
TL
4046 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 6
4047
4048- Fix a core dump that could happen when processing a DHCPREQUEST from
4049 a client that had a host declaration that contained both a
4050 fixed-address declaration and a dhcp-client-identifier option
4051 declaration, if the client identifier was longer than nine bytes.
4052
4053- Fix a memory leak that could happen in certain obscure cases when
4054 using omapi to manipulate leases.
4055
4056- Fix some bugs and omissions in omshell.
4057

TL
4058 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 5
4059
4060- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that prevented objects in
4061 chains from having their reference counts decreased on dereference.
4062
4063- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that would prevent object
4064 chains from being freed upon removal of the last reference external
4065 to the chain.
4066
4067- Fix a number of other memory leaks in the OMAPI protocol subsystem.
4068
4069- Add code in the OMAPI protocol handler to trace memory leakage.
4070

4072
98311e4b 4073- Support input of dotted quads and colon-separated hex lists as
eaf0b302

4081
4082- Fix a bug that would prevent leases from being abandoned properly on
4083 DHCPDECLINE.
4084
4085- Fix failover peer OMAPI support.
4086
4087- In failover, correctly handle expiration of leases. Previously,
4088 leases would never be reclaimed because they couldn't make the
4089 transition from EXPIRED to FREE.
4090
4091- Fix some broken failover state transitions.
4092
4093- Documentation fixes.
4094
4095- Take out an unnecessary check in DHCP relay agent information option
4096 stashing code that was preventing REBINDING clients from rebinding.
4097
4098- Prevent failover peers from allocating leases in DHCPREQUEST
4099 processing if the lease belongs to the other server.
4100
4101- Record server version in lease file introductory comment.
4102
4103- Correctly report connection errors in OMAPI and failover.
4104
4105- Make authentication signature algorithm name comparisons in OMAPI
4106 case-insensitive.
4107
4108- Fix compile problem on SunOS 4.x
4109
98311e4b 4110- If a signature algorithm is not terminated with '.', terminate it so
eaf0b302
TL
4111 that comparisons between fully-qualified names will work
4112 consistently.
4113
4114- Different SIOCGIFCONF probe code, may "fix" problem on some Linux
4115 systems with the probe not working correctly.
4116
4117- Don't allow user to type omapi key on command line of omshell.

4120
4121- Do lease billing on startup in a way that I *think* will finally do
4122 the billing correctly - the previous method could overbill as a
4123 result of duplicate leases.

4130 Herranz for figuring out the main problem.
4131

4133 core dumps.

4135- Fix a byte-swap bug in the token ring code, thanks to Jochen
4136 Friedrich.
4137
4138- Fix a bug in lease billing, thanks to Jonas Bulow.
4139
4140 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 2
4141
4142- Change the conditions under which a DHCPRELEASE is actually
4143 committed to be consistent with lease binding states rather than
98311e4b 4144 using the lease end time. This may fix some problems with the
892fe689
TL
4145 billing class code.
4146
4147- Fix a bug where lease updates would fail on Digital Unix (and maybe
4148 others) because malloc was called with a size of zero.
4149
4150- Fix a core dump that happens when the DHCP server can't create its
4151 trace file.
4152
79ea3de8 4153 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 1 Patchlevel 1
87784777 4154
79ea3de8
TL
4155- Fix the dhcp_failover_put_message to not attempt to allocate a
4156 zero-length buffer. Some versions of malloc() fail if you try to
4157 allocate a zero-length buffer, and this was causing problems on,
4158 e.g., Digital Unix.
4159
4160- Fix a case where the failover code was printing an error message
4161 when no error had occurred.
4162
4163- Fix a problem where when a server went down and back up again, the
4164 peer would not see a state transition and so would stay in the
4165 non-communicating state.
4166
4167- Be smart about going into recover_wait.
4168
4169- Fix a problem in the failover implementation where peers would fail
4170 to come into sync if interrupted in the RECOVER state. This could
4171 have been the cause of some problems people have reported recently.
4172
4173- Fix a problem with billing classes where they would not be unbilled
4174 when the client lease expired.
4175
4176- If select fails, figure out which descriptor is bad, and cut it out
4177 of the I/O loop. This prevents a potentially nasty spin. I
4178 haven't heard any report it in a while, but it came up consistently
4179 in testing.
4180
4181- Fix a bug in the relay agent where if you specified interfaces on
4182 the command line, it would fail.
4183
4184- Fix a couple of small bugs in the omapi connection object (no known
4185 user impact).
4186
4187- Add the missing 3.0 Beta 1 lease conversion script.
4188
4189- Read dhcp client script hooks if they exist, rather than only if
4190 they're executable.

4203 Compaq Alpha systems. This patchlevel is not a release candidate
4204 because of this bug. The bug should be straightforward to fix, so
4205 a new release candidate is expected shortly.

4231- Fix a bug in the DNS update code where a status code was not being
4232 checked. This may have been causing core dumps.
4233
4234- When parsing the lease file, if a lease declaration includes a
4235 billing class statement, and the lease already has a billing class,
4236 unbill the old class.
4237
4238- When processing failover transactions, where acks will be deferred,
4239 process the state transition immediately.
4240
4241- Don't try to use the new SIOCGIFCONF buffer size detection code on
4242 Linux 2.0, which doesn't provide this functionality.
4243
4244- Apply a patch suggested by Tuan Uong for a problem in dlpi.c.

4246- Fix a problem in using the which command in the configure script.

4248- Fix a parse error in the client when setting up an omapi listener.
4249
4250- Document the -n and -g flags to the client.
4251
4252- Make sure there is always a stdin and stdout on startup. This
4253 prevents shell scripts from accidentally writing error messages into
4254 configuration files that happen to be opened as stderr.
4255
4256- If an interface is removed, the client will now notice that it is
4257 gone rather than spinning. This has only been tested on NetBSD.
4258
4259- The client will attempt to get an address even if it can't create a
4260 lease file.

4307- Implement omshell, which can be used to do arbitrary things to the
4308 server (in theory). (Damien Neil)
4309
4310- Fix a case where if a client had two different leases the server could
4311 actually dereference the second one when it hadn't been referenced,
4312 leading to memory corruption and a core dump. (James Brister)
4313
4314- Fix a case where a client could request the address of another client's
4315 lease, but find_lease wouldn't detect that the other client had it, and
4316 would attempt to allocate it to the client, resulting in a lease conflict
4317 message.
4318
4319- Fix a case where a client with more than one client identifier could be
4320 given a lease where the hardware address was correct but the client
4321 identifier was not, resulting in a lease conflict message.
4322
98311e4b 4323- Fix a problem where the server could write out a colon-separated
3350f5b7
TL
4324 hex list as a value for a variable, which would then not parse.
4325 The fix is to always write strings as quoted strings, with any
4326 non-printable characters quoted as octal escape sequences. So
4327 a file written the old way still won't work, but new files written
4328 this way will work.

4333 break any configuration files that use the option-nnn convention.
4334 If you want to continue to use this convention for some options,
4335 please be sure to write a definition, like this:
4336
4337 option option-nnn code nnn = string;

4342 DHCPREQUEST/DHCPACK/DHCPREQUEST/DHCPNAK sequence. This was the
4343 result of a deceptively silly bug in supersede_lease.

4358- Add support for transaction tracing. This allows the state of the
4359 DHCP server on startup, and all the subsequent transactions, to be
4360 recorded in a file which can then be played back to reproduce the
4361 behaviour of the DHCP server. This can be used to quickly
4362 reproduce bugs that cause core dumps or corruption, and also for
4363 tracking down memory leaks.
4364
4365- Incorporate some bug fixes provided by Joost Mulders for the DLPI
4366 package which should clear up problems people have been seeing on
4367 Solaris.
4368
4369- Fix bugs in the handling of options stored as linked lists (agent
4370 options, fqdn options and nwip options) that could cause memory
4371 corruption and core dumps.

4374 not being send in some cases when they were needed.

4418
4419- Finish fixing a long-standing bug in the agent options code. This
4420 was causing core dumps and failing to operate correctly - in
4421 particular, agent option stashing wasn't working. Agent option
4422 stashing should now be working, meaning that agent options can be
4423 used in class statements to control address allocation.
4424

4435 transmitting packets to the server. Handy for debugging; not much
4436 practical use otherwise.

4447- Work around the Win98 DHCP client, which NUL-terminates the FQDN
4448 option.

4450- Work around Win98 and Win2k clients that will claim they want to do
4451 the update even when they don't have any way to do it.
4452
4453- Fix some log messages that can be printed when failover is operating
4454 that were not printing enough information.
4455
4456- It was possible for a DHCPDISCOVER to get an allocation even when
4457 the state machine said the server shouldn't be responding.
4458
4459- Don't load balance DHCPREQUESTs from clients in RENEWING and
4460 REBINDING, since in RENEWING, if we heard it, it's for us, and in
4461 REBINDING, the client wouldn't have got to REBINDING if its primary
4462 were answering.

4475 decoder that would prevent any key with an 'x' in its base64
4476 representation from working correctly.
4477
4478- Thanks to Chris Cheney and Michael Sanders, we have a fix for the
4479 hang that they both spotted in the DHCP server - when
4480 one-lease-per-client was set, the code to release the "other" lease
4481 could spin.
4482
4483- Fix a problem with alignment of the input buffer in bpf in cases
4484 where two packets arrive in the same bpf read.
4485
4486- Fix a problem where the relay agent would crash if you specified an
4487 interface name on the command line.
4488
4489- Add the ability to conditionalize client behaviour based on the
4490 client state.
4491
4492- Add support for the FQDN option, and added support for a new way of
4493 doing ddns updates (ddns update style interim) that allows more than
4494 one DHCP server to update the DNS for the same network(s). This
4495 was implemented by Damien Neil with some additional functionality
4496 added by Ted Lemon.
4497
4498- Damien added a "log" statement, so that the configuration file can
4499 be made to log debugging information and other information.
4500
4501- Fixed a bug that caused option buffers not to be terminated with an
4502 end option.
4503
4504- Fixed a long-standing bug in the support for option spaces where the
4505 options are stored as an ordered list rather than in a hash table,
4506 which could theoretically result in memory pool corruption.
4507
4508- Prevent hardware declarations with no actual hardware address from
4509 being written as something unparsable, and behave correctly in the
4510 face of a null hardware address on input.
4511
4512- Allow key names to be FQDNs, and qualify the algorithm name if it is
4513 specified unqualified.
4514
4515- Modify the DDNS update code so that it never prints the "resolver
4516 failed" message, but instead says *why* the resolver failed.

4519 RFC.

4581- Fix a possible DoS attack where a client could cause the checksummer
4582 to dump core. This was a read, not a write, so it shouldn't be
4583 possible to exploit it any further than that.
4584
4585- Implement client- and server-side support for using the Client FQDN
4586 option.
4587
4588- Support for other option spaces in the client has been added. This
4589 means that it is now possible to define a vendor option space on the
4590 client, request options in that space from the server (which must
4591 define the same option space), and then use those options in the
4592 client. This also allows NWIP and Client FQDN options to be used
4593 meaningfully.
4594
4595- Add object initializer support. This means that objects can now be
4596 initialized to something other than all-zeros when allocated, which
4597 makes, e.g., the interface object support code a little more robust.
4598
4599- Fix an off-by-one bug in the host stuffer. This was causing host
