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

cce04313
TM
92
93 Changes since 4.4.1 (Bug Fixes)
94
95- Corrected a misuse of the BIND9 DDNS API which caused DDNS updates to be
96 carried out over TCP rather than UDP. The coding error was exposed by
97 migration to BIND9 9.11. Thanks to Jinmei Tatuya at Infoblox for
98 reporting the issue.
99 [ISC-Bugs #47757]
100
101 Changes since 4.4.0 (New Features)
102- none
103
104 Changes since 4.4.0 (Bug Fixes)
6826003b
TM
105
106- A delayed-ack value of 0 (the default), now correctly disables the delayed
107 feature. A change in 4.4.0 prohibited lease updates marking leases active
108 from be written to the lease file when delayed-ack is 0. This in turn,
109 caused servers to lose active lease assignments upon restart.
110 [ISC-Bugs #47141]
111
197b26f2
TM
112! Option reference count was not correctly decremented in error path
113 when parsing buffer for options. Reported by Felix Wilhelm, Google
114 Security Team.
115 [ISC-Bugs #47140]
c5931725
TM
116 CVE: CVE-2018-5733
117
118! Corrected an issue where large sized 'X/x' format options were causing
119 option handling logic to overwrite memory when expanding them to human
120 readable form. Reported by Felix Wilhelm, Google Security Team.
121 [ISC-Bugs #47139]
122 CVE: CVE-2018-5732
197b26f2 123
d5118758
TM
124- Added use of new Bind9 compatibility header files, that are now necessary
125 to supply type definitions for primitive data types, removed from Bind9
126 proper. Altered util/bind.sh to pull from Bind9 repo on gitlab.
127 [ISC-Bugs #48072]
128 [ISC-Bugs #48071]
129
d394b602
TM
130 Changes since 4.4.0b1 (New Features)
131
132- Duplicate address detection when binding to a new IPv6 address was added
133 to the following dhclient scripts: linux,freebsd,netbsd,openbsd, and macos.
134 The scripts will check for DAD errors after binding to a new IPv6 address
135 for at most --dad-wait-time seconds. If a DAD error is detected the script
136 will exit with a value of 3, instructing dhclient to decline the address. If
137 dad-wait-time is zero (the default), DAD error checking is not peformed.
138 [ISC-Bugs 46805]
139
efd3b1e2
TM
140- Support for sending and receiving additional DHCP4 options has been added
141 to both the dhcpd and dhclient. Specifically: option codes 93,94, and 97
142 (RFC 4578); code 150 (RFC 5859); and codes 209,219, and 211 (RFC 5071).
143 Beyond configuring, sending, requesting, and receiving these options neither
144 server nor client apply any additional logic based on their values.
145 Thanks to Peter Lewis for requesting this change.
146 [ISC-Bugs 47062]
147
d638452e
TM
148 Changes since 4.4.0b1 (Bug Fixes)
149
150- Added clarifying text to dhcpd.conf.5 explaining the class match expressions
151 cannot rely on the results of executable statements.
152 [ISC-Bugs #45451]
153
db4e4aa2
TM
154- Fixed a bug which causes dhcpd and dhclient to crash on certain
155 systems when given relative path names for lease or pid files on
156 the command line. Affected systems are those on which the C library
157 function, realpath() does not support a second parameter value of
158 NULL (see manpages for realpath(3)).
159 [ISC-Bugs #46957]
160
b94669fa
TM
161- Fixed a build issue when building with embedded BIND9 under OpenBSD that
162 was causing BIND9 build to not generate dns/enumclass.h and dns/enumtype.h.
163 [ISC-Bugs #46971]
164
de964f22
TM
165- Added <dhcp>/m4/README to the distribution tarball. Some versions of
166 ac_local() treat the absence of the m4 subdirectory as error rather than
167 warning. This was causing the call to autoreconf, necessary for building
168 with libtool, to fail.
169 [ISC-Bugs #47075]
170
4aa6129a 171 Changes since 4.4.0a1 (New Features)
7512d88b 172
4aa6129a
TM
173- Added experimental support for relay port (draft-ietf-dhc-relay-port-10.txt)
174 feature for DHCPv4, DHCPv6 and DHCPv4-over-DHCPv6. Relay port has to be
175 enabled at compile time via --enable-relay-port and is fully backward
176 compatible (i.e. works with previous implementations of servers and relays
177 using the standard ports). A new --rp <relay-port> command line option
178 specifies to dhcrelay an alternate source port for upstream (i.e. toward
179 the server) messages. Thanks to Naiming Shen and Enke Chen of Cisco
180 systems for submitting these patches.
181 [ISC-Bugs #44535]
182
183- Added --release-on-roam to dhcpd server. When enabled and the server detects
184 that a DHCPv6 client (IAID+DUID) has roamed to a new network, it will release
185 the pre-existing leases on the old network and emit a log statement similar
186 to the following:
187
188 "Client: <id> roamed to new network, releasing lease: <address>"
189
190 The server will carry out all of the same steps that would normally occur
191 when a client explicitly releases a lease. This behavior is disabled by
192 default and may only be specified globally. Prior to this the server renders
193 the leases unavailable until they expire or the server is restarted. Clients
194 that need leases in multiple networks must supply a unique IAID in each IA.
195 When release-on-roam is disabled (the default) the server maintains the
196 prior behavior of making such leases unavailable until they expire or the
197 server is restarted. Clients that need leases in multiple networks must
198 supply a unique IAID in each IA. This parameter may only be specified at
199 the global level. Thanks to Fernando Soto from BlueCat Networks for
200 suggesting this change.
201 [ISC-Bugs #44576]
202 [ISC-Bugs #46849]
203
204- Support for delayed-ack is now compiled in by default. Prior to this
205 it had to be enabled at compile time via --enable-delayed-acks. The
206 default value for delayed-ack, however, has been changed from 28 to 0
207 (i.e. disabled). This was done to minimize the impact on users not
208 currently using the feature. Please note that the delayed-ack feature
209 is not currently compatible with support for DHPCv4-over-DHCPv6 so
210 when a 4to6 port command line argument enables this in the server the
211 delayed-ack value is reset to 0.
212 [ISC-Bugs #42446]
213
214- The server (-6) now honors the parameter, update-static-leases, for static
215 (fixed-address6) DHCPv6 leases. It is worth noting that because stateful
216 data is not retained by the server for static leases, each time a client
217 requests or renews a static lease, the server will perform DDNS updates for
218 it. This may have significant performance implications for environments
219 with many clients that request or renew static leases often. Similarly,
220 the DNS entries will not be removed by server when a client issues a RELEASE
221 nor if the lease is deleted from the configuration. In such cases the DNS
222 entries must be removed manually. This feature is disabled by default.
223 Thanks to both Bill Shirley and dgutier-at-cern-dot-ch for requesting
224 this change.
225 [ISC-Bugs #34097]
226 [ISC-Bugs #41054]
227 [ISC-Bugs #41450]
228
229- Added to the server (-6) a new statement, local-address6, which specifies
230 the source address of packets sent by the server. An additional flag,
231 bind-local-address6, disabled by default, binds the service socket to
232 to local-address6. Note that bind-local-address does not work with direct
233 clients: a relay has to forward packets to the server using the
234 local-address6 destination.
235 [ISC-Bugs #46084]
236
237 Changes since 4.4.0a1 (Bugs)
238
239- The server now recognizes environment variables PATH_DHCPD_DB and
240 PATH_DHCPD_PID. These had been incorrectly compiled out of the code
241 unless DHCPv6 support was disabled. Additionally, the server man
242 pages were corrected to accurately reflect how the server chooses
243 file names (see lease-file-name and pid-file-name statements). Thanks
7932503f
TM
244 to Fernando Soto at Bluecat Networks for bringing this matter to our
245 attention.
4aa6129a
TM
246 [ISC-Bugs #46859]
247
248- Removed an "Impossible condition" error upon exit in the dhcpd server that
249 has been shutdown via OMAPI. This condition was only apparent under Solaris
250 when building with --enable-use-sockets and --enable-ipv4-pktinfo.
251 [ISC-Bugs #36118]
252
65eed5c1 253- Corrected some minor Coverity issues: CID 1426059, 1426058, and 1426057.
4aa6129a
TM
254 [ISC-Bugs #46836]
255
256- Added missing text to dhclient.8 and expanded release note coverage
257 for --address-prefix-len changes.
7512d88b 258
0e76cb91 259 Changes since 4.3.6 (New Features)
3210786b 260
f9741514
FD
261- Added --enable-bind-install to install embedded bind includes and
262 libraries. Default is to not install them (it was the previous
263 behavior). If you'd like to change the includedir and/or libdir
5a67b030
FD
264 installation directories to something different than for ISC DHCP
265 you must pass them using the --with-bind-extra-config configuration
266 arguments.
f9741514
FD
267 [ISC-Bugs #39318]
268
007ba82a
FD
269- Added support of dynamic shared libraries with libtool. A new
270 --enable-libtool configuration parameter is available but
271 should not be used directly: *please* read the build configuration
272 section in the README file for the recommended procedure.
273 [ISC-Bugs #29402]
274
417b7b4a
TM
275- IPv6 operation now supports an EUI-64 based address allocation which will
276 calculate addresses for clients with EUI-64 DUIDs based on those DUIDs when
277 enabled by setting use-eui-64 true. The parameter may defined down to the
278 pool scope. Note this feature must be compiled in by defining EUI_64 in
279 includes/site.h. This flag is undefined by default.
280 [ISC-Bugs #43927]
281
b3e6fd51
TM
282- The directory includes/isc-dhcp and it's only occupant, dst.h, have
283 been removed from the source tree. They are obsolete for branches
284 other than v4_1_esv.
285 [ISC-bugs #45541]
286
7512d88b
TM
287- Replaced ISC licensing with Mozilla Public License, MPL 2.0 licensing
288 throughout. Please see https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/MPL/2.0/ to read
289 the MPL 2.0 license terms.
290 [ISC-Bugs #45541]
291
3e985dbf
TM
292- Load balancing for failover peers can now be disabled by setting
293 "load balance max secs" to 0. Doing so for both peers means both
294 servers will respond to all DHCPDISCOVERs or DHCPREQUESTs as soon as
295 they are received.
296 [ISC-Bugs #39669]
297
c0e9661e
TM
298- Added a new dhclient command line parameter, --prefix-len-hint <length>.
299 When used in conjunction with -P, it directs dhclient to use the given
d8805cee
TM
300 length as the prefix length hint when requesting prefixes. Thanks to both
301 Indy, of the FireballISO open source project and H. Peter Anvin for
302 suggesting this change.
303 [ISC-Bugs #43792]
304 [ISC-Bugs #35112]
305 [ISC-Bugs #32228]
306 [ISC-Bugs #29470]
3e88222f
TM
307
308- dhclient will now wait for 10 seconds after declining an IPv4 address
309 before issuing a discover. This is in keeping with RFC 2131, section 3.1.5.
310 Prior to this dhclient did not wait at all. The amount of time dhclient
311 waits can be specified via a new command line parameter:
312 --decline-wait-time <seconds>. A value of zero equates to no wait at all.
ecf9f77b 313 Thanks to Pavel Kankovsky for bringing this matter to our attention.
9de870cc 314 **NOTE: THIS IS CHANGE IN DEFAULT BEHAVIOR.
3e88222f 315 [ISC-Bugs #45457]
c0e9661e 316
35e86889
TM
317- dhclient will now include the lease address when logging DHCPOFFERs,
318 DHCPREQUESTs, DHCPACKs, DHCPRELEASEs, and DHCPDECLINEs. Additionally,
319 DHCPOFFERs will be logged before their corresponding DHCPREQUESTs are
320 sent and logged.
321 [ISC-Bugs #2729]
322
d6057334
TM
323- When given the -T command line argument, in addition to reading the
324 current lease file, the server will write the leases to a temporary
325 lease file. This can help detect issues in server configuration that
326 only surface when leases are written to the file. The current lease
327 file will not be modified and the temporary lease file is removed upon
328 completion of the test.
329 [ISC-Bugs #22267]
330
0f69ff73
TM
331- dhclient will now generate a DHCPv6 DECLINE message containing all IA_NA
332 addresses which for which the client script indicates a DAD failure. After
333 receiving the DECLINE reply, dhclient will restart the solicit process.
334 Note, the client script must exit with a value of 3 to signify that the
335 address failed DAD. Thanks to Jiri Popelka of Red Hat for submitting the
336 patch that was the foundation for this change.

f0f3555e 340 [ISC-Bugs #36966]
0f69ff73 341
30593241
TM
342- Replaced compilation option, enable-secs-byteorder, with a run-time, server
343 configuration parameter, check-secs-byte-order. When enabled, the
344 server will check for clients that do the byte ordering on the secs field
345 incorrectly. This field should be in network byte order but some clients
346 get it wrong. When this parameter is enabled the server will examine the
347 secs field and if it looks wrong (high byte non zero and low byte zero) swap
348 the bytes. The default is disabled. This parameter is only useful when
349 doing load balancing within failover.
350 [ISC-Bugs #45364]
351
b53ba157
TM
352- The default value for server (-6) parameter, prefix-length-mode, has been
353 changed from "exact" to "prefer". In "prefer" mode the server will offer
354 the first available prefix with the same length as that requested by the
355 client. If none are found then it will offer the first available prefix of
356 any length. This is more in line with with RFC 8168 and should improve
357 the out-of-the-box user experience.
9de870cc 358 **NOTE: THIS IS CHANGE IN DEFAULT BEHAVIOR.
b53ba157
TM
359 [ISC-Bugs #45615]
360
bbdac71d
TM
361- Added support for 'dhcp-cache-threshold' to IPv6 operation: If a client
362 renews before 'dhcp-cache-threshold' percent of its lease has elapsed
363 (default 25%), the server will reuse the allocated lease (provide a
364 lease within the currently allocated lease-time) rather than extend or
365 renew the lease. This allows the server to reply without needlessly
366 writing leases to disk. The preferred and valid lease lifetimes
367 sent to the client will be reduced by the age of the lease. The option
368 may be specified down to the pool level and is supported for all three
369 pool types: NA, TA, and PD.
370 [ISC-Bugs #45292]
371
905c58b9
TM
372- Added three new server configuration parameters which influence DDNS:
373 1. ddns-dual-stack-mixed-mode - alters DNS conflict resolution behavior
374 to mitigate issues with non-compliant clients in dual stack environments.
375
376 2. ddns-guard-id-must-match - relaxes the DHCID RR client id matching
377 requirement of DNS conflict resolution.
378
2f3eca17 379 3. ddns-other-guard-is-dynamic - alters dual-stack-mixed-mode behavior to

e6ffc27f
TM
385- A "key-algorithm <algorithm>" statement has been added to omshell to
386 allow the specification of the key algorithm to use during transaction
387 authentication. Prior to this it was hard-coded to be hmac-md5. It now
388 supports all of the same algorithms as the dhcpd server: hmac-md5 (the
389 default), hmac-sha1, hmac-sha224, hmac-sha256, hmac-sha384, and hmac-sha512.
390 [ISC-Bugs #46771]
391
c2e5ee28
TM
392- Added a server configuration parameter, persist-eui-64-leases, which
393 determines whether or not EUI-64 based leases are written to the
394 leases file. Default is true.
395 [ISC-Bugs #45046]
396
140612c8 397- Changed the default value of the prefix length passed by dhclient into the
a804fcc0
TM
398 client script for each IPv6 address from 64 to 128. This was done to comply
399 with RFC3315bis draft (-09, page 64) and RFC5942, Section 4, point 1.
400 In addition, dhclient now supports a command line argument,
401 --address-prefix-len, which may be used to override the default value.
402 **WARNING**: This change may not be backwardly compatible with your
403 environment. If you are operating without a router, such as between VMs on
404 a host, you may find they cannot see each with prefix length of 128. In
405 such cases, you'll need to either provide routing or use the command line
406 parameter to set the value to 64. Alternatively you may change the default
407 at compile time by setting DHCLIENT_DEFAULT_PREFIX_LEN in includes/site.h.

fa6c4c08 409 [ISC-Bugs #37221]
140612c8 410
f1fc5ede 411- Modified dhclient (-6) to bypass sending a confirm (INIT REBOOT) when it has
a804fcc0 412 only expired address associations. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for
f1fc5ede
TM
413 raising the issue and submitting the patch.
414 [ISC-Bugs #22675]
0e76cb91 415 Changes since 4.3.6 (Bugs):
0b0a1399 416
0e76cb91
TM
417- Corrected an issue where the server would return a client's previously
418 released prefix lease even when the client provides a prefix length
419 hint that does not match the prior lease. Now the server will only
420 return the previous lease if it exactly matches the hint. If not
421 it will attempt to allocate a new prefix based on the hint and the
422 prefix-length-mode. Thanks to Tim DeNike - Lightspeed Communications
423 for pointing out the error of our ways.

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

528 and will discard offered leases that do not contain all the required
529 options specified in the client configuration. If not enabled the client
530 will still consider such leases. This must be enabled at compile time

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

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

572 by dhclient only if and when the it first attempts an update; and never by

822 running dhclient for IPv6. Prior to this such statements in the

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

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

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

945- The server will now reject unicast Request, Renew, Decline, and Release
946 messages from a client unless the server would have sent that client the
947 dhcp6.unicast option. This behavior is in compliance with paragraph 1 in
948 each of the sections 18.2,1, 18.2.3, 18.2.6, and 18.2.7 of RFC 3315. Prior
949 to this, the server would simply accept the messages. Now, in order for
950 the server to accept such a message, the server configuration must include
951 the dhcp6.unicast option either globally or within the shared network to
952 which the requested lease belongs. In other words, the server will map
953 the first IA_XX address found within the client message to a shared-network
954 and look for the presence of the unicast option there and then globally.

1003 insert, find or remove an entry from the queues. In addition add a
1004 compile time option "--enable-binary-leases" to enable the new code

1022
1023- Corrected an issue in v6 lease file parsing. Prior to this, when encountering
1024 a lease with an address for which no configured pool exists, the server was
1025 declaring the lease file corrupt and incorrectly skipping over the subsequent
1026 entry in the file. The server will now emit a log message indicating that
1027 no pool was found for the address (or prefix) and correctly resume parsing
1028 with the next entry in the lease file. Our thanks to Michal Žejdl for
1029 reporting the issue.
1030 [ISC-Bugs #39314]
1031
1032- Be more liberal in finding a subnet group associated with a static
1033 prefix. When we added the class matching code for v6 we also added
1034 a requirement that the static prefix must be within a subnet the
1035 client was in, in order to find the proper statements. We now
1036 look for a subnet based on the prefix, failing that on the static
1037 address for the client and failing that on the shared network
1038 itself.
1039 [ISC-Bugs #38329]
1040
1041- Add a new action expression "parse_vendor_options", which can be used
1042 to parse a vendor-encapsualted-option received by the server based on
1043 the encoding specified by the vendor-option-space statement.
1044 [ISC-Bugs #36449]
1045
1046- Enhance the PARANOIA patch to include fchown() the lease file to

1048 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the patch.
1049 [ISC-Bugs #36978]
1050
1051- Relax the requirement that prefix pools must be within the subnet.
1052 This was added in as part of #32453 in order to avoid configuration
1053 mistakes but is being removed as prefixes aren't required to be
1054 within the same subnet and many people configure them in that fashion.
1055 [ISC-Bugs #40077]
1056
1057- Fixed a server crash that could occur when the server attempts to remove
1058 the billing class from the last lease billed to a dynamic class after said
1059 class has been deleted. Our thanks to Lasse Pesonen for reporting the
1060 issue.

1100 The error occurs on Linux variants that do not support VLAN tag information
1101 in packet auxiliary data. The configure script now only enables inclusion
1102 of the VLAN tag-based logic if it is supported by the underlying OS.

1107- Specifying the option, --disable-debug, on the configure script command line

1109 incorrectly enabled debug features. Thanks to Gustavo Zacarias for reporting
1110 the issue.
1111 [ISC-Bugs #37780]
1112
1113- Unit test execution now uses a path augmented during configuration
1114 processing of the --with-atf option to locate ATF runtime tools, atf-run
1115 and atf-report. For most installations of ATF, this should alleviate the
1116 need to manually include them in the PATH, as was formerly required.
1117 If the configure script cannot locate the tools it will emit a warning,
1118 informing the user that the tools must be in the PATH when running unit
1119 tests.
1120 Secondly, please note that "make check" will now exit with a failure status
1121 code (non-zero) if one or more unit tests fail. This means that invoking
1122 "make check" from an upper level directory will cause the make process to
1123 STOP after the first test subdirectory with failed test(s). To force all
1124 tests in all subdirectories to run, regardless of individual test outcome,
1125 use the command "make -k check".

1162 external programs required the older versions of the macro. They
1163 have been #ifdeffed for now and will be removed at a future date.
1164 See site.h for the #define to include them again, but you should
1165 switch to using the DHCP_R_* versions instead of the ISC_R_* versions.

1193- Added the echo-client-id configuration parameter to the server configuration.
1194 The server now supports RFC 6842 compliant behavior by setting a new
1195 configuration parameter, echo-client-id. When enabled, the server will
1196 include the client identifier option (Option code 61) if received, in its
1197 responses. The server identifier returned in NAKs (if enabled) will now
1198 be the globally defined value (if one) if the server cannot attribute the
1199 inbound request to a known subnet.
1200 [ISC-Bugs #35958]
1201 [ISC-Bugs #32545]

1208 will be delivered as errors rather than as SIGPIPE signals on all OSs.
1209 Thanks to Marius Tomaschewski from SUSE who reported the issue and provided
1210 the patch upon which the fix is based.
1211 [ISC-Bugs #32222]
1212
1213- In the failover code, handle the case of communications being interrupted
1214 when the servers are dealing with POTENTIAL-CONFLICT. This patch allows
1215 the primary to accept the secondary moving from POTENTIAL-CONFLICT to
1216 RESOLUTION-INTERRUPTED as well as handling the bind update process better.
1217 In addition the code to resend update or update all requests has been
1218 modified to send requests more often.
1219 [ISC-Bugs #36810]
1220 [ISC-Bugs #20352]
1221
1222- By default, the server will now choose the value to use in the forward DNS
1223 name from the following in order of preference:
1224
1225 1. FQDN option if provided by the client
1226 2. Host name option if provided by the client
1227 3. Configured option host-name if defined
1228
1229 As before, this may be overridden by defining ddns-hostname to the desired
1230 value (or expression). In addition, the server logic has been extended to
1231 use the value of the host name declaration if use-host-decl-names is enabled
1232 and no other value is available.
1233 [ISC-Bugs #21323]
1234
1235- DNS updates were being attempted when dhcp-cache-threshold enabled the use of
1236 the existing lease and the forward DNS name had not changed. This has been
1237 corrected.
1238 [ISC-Bugs #37368]
1239 [ISC-Bugs #38636]
1240
1241- Corrected an issue which caused dhclient to incorrectly form the result when
1242 prepending or appending to the IPv4 domain-search option, received from the
1243 server, when either of the values being combined contain compressed
1244 components.
1245 [ISC-Bugs #20558]
1246
1247- Added the server-id-check parameter to the server configuration.
1248 This parameter allows run-time control over whether or not a server,
1249 participating in failover, verifies the dhcp-server-identifier option in
1250 DHCP REQUESTs against the server's id before processing the request.
1251 Formerly, enabling this behavior was done at compilation time through
1252 the use of the #define, SERVER_ID_CHECK, which has been removed from site.h
1253 The functionality is now only available through the new runtime parameter.
1254 [ISC-Bugs #37551]
1255
1256- During startup, when the server encounters a lease whose binding state is
1257 FTS_BACKUP but whose pool has no configured failover peer, it will reset the
1258 lease's binding state to FTS_FREE. This allows the leases to be reclaimed
1259 by the server after a pool's configuration has changed from failover to
1260 standalone. Prior to this such leases would remain stuck in the backup state
1261 making them unavailable for assignment. Note this conversion will occur
1262 whether or not the server is compiled for failover.
1263 [ISC-Bugs #36960]
1264
1265- Fixed a small issue in the treatment of hosts in the inform processing
1266 that could cause the response to an inform to include information from
1267 the wrong scope. The two examples we've heard of are getting subnet
1268 instead of group information associated with a host entry, or getting
1269 global information instead of subnet if the host entry was built via
1270 omapi. Thanks to Julien Soula at University of Lille for finding the
1271 bug and supplying a patch.
1272 [ISC-Bugs #35712]
1273
1274- Avoid calling pool_timer() recursively from supersede_lease(). This could
1275 result in leases changing state incorrectly or delaying the running of the
1276 leae expiration code.
1277 [ISC-Bugs #38002]
1278
1279- Move the check for a PID file and process to be before we rewrite the
1280 lease file. This avoids the possibility of starting a second instance
1281 of a server which changes the current lease file confusing the first
1282 instance. This check is only included if the admin hasn't disabled PID
1283 files.
1284 [ISC-Bugs #38078]

1288 for environment variables to be unsigned rather than signed.
1289 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the bug report and patch.
1290 [ISC-Bugs #37084]
1291
1292- Modified Linux packet handling such that packets received via VLAN are now
1293 seen only by the VLAN interface. Prior to this, such packets were seen by
1294 both the VLAN interface and its parent (physical) interface, causing the
1295 server to respond to both. Note this remains an issue for non-Linux OSs.

1301
1302- Log content has been changed to more directly suggest that admins should
1303 check for multiple IPv6 clients attempting to use the same DUID when only
1304 abandoned addresses are available. Debug level logging will now emit counts
1305 of the total number of, in-use, and abandoned addresses in a shared subnet
1306 when the server finds no addresses available for a given DUID. Lastly,
1307 threshold logging is now automatically disabled for shared subnets whose
1308 total number of possible addresses exceeds (2^64)-1.
1309 [ISC-Bugs #26376]
1310 [ISC-Bugs #38131]
1311
1312- Added a global parameter, prefix-length-mode, which may be used to determine
1313 how the server uses a non-zero value for prefix-length supplied by clients
1314 when soliciting DHCPv6 prefixes. The server supports selection modes of:
1315 ignore, prefer, exact, minimum and maximum which are described in detail in
1316 the server man pages. The prior behavior of the server was to only offer a
1317 prefix whose length exactly matched the prefix-length value requested. If
1318 no such prefixes were available, the server returned a status of none
1319 available. Note the default mode, "exact", provides this same behavior.
1320 [ISC-Bugs #36780]
1321 [ISC-Bugs #32228]
1322
1323- Corrected inconsistencies in dhcrelay's setting the upper interface hop count
1324 limit such that it now sets it to 32 when the upstream address is a multicast
1325 address per RFC 3315 Section 20. Prior to this if the -u argument preceded
1326 the -l argument on the command line or if the same interface was specified
1327 for both; the logic to set the hop limit count for the upper interface was
1328 skipped. This caused the hop count limit to be set to the default value
1329 (typically 1) in the outbound upstream packets.

SR
1491
1492- If a client renews before 'dhcp-cache-threshold' percent of its lease
1493 has elapsed (default 25%), the server will reuse the allocated lease
1494 (provide a lease within the currently allocated lease-time) rather
1495 than extend or renew the lease. This absolves the server of needing
1496 to perform an fsync() operation on the lease database before reply,
1497 which improves performance. [ISC-Bugs #22228]
80778e94 1498 Updated this patch to support asynchronous DDNS. If the server is
adb95d23 1499 attempting to do DDNS on a lease it should be updated and written to
4809ef5c 1500 disk even if that wouldn't be necessary due to the thresholding.

1507- A problem with missing get_hw_addr function when --enable-use-sockets
1508 was used is now solved on GNU/Linux, BSD and GNU/Hurd systems. Note
1509 that use-sockets feature was not tested on those systems. Client and
1510 server code no longer use MAX_PATH constant that is not defined on
3cb6f9bb 1511 GNU/Hurd systems. [ISC-Bugs #25979]
32e651c4 1512
67418698
SR
1513- Add a perl script in the contrib directory, dhcp-lease-list.pl, which
1514 can parse v4 lease files and output the lease information in a more
1515 human friendly manner. This was written by Christian Hammers with
1516 some updates by vom and ISC. This is contributed code and is not
1517 supported by ISC; however it may be useful to some users.

d7d9c0c7
SR
1526- Update the DDNS code to current standards and allow for sharing
1527 of DDNS entries between v4 and v6 clients. The new code is used
1528 if the ddns-update-style is set to "standard", the older code is
1529 still available if ddns-update-style is set to "interim". The
1530 oldest DDNS code "ad-hoc" has been removed. Thanks to Thomas Pegeot

1534fff7 1534
cde11a4c
SR
1535- Add a configuration option to the server to suppress using fsync().
1536 Enabling this option will mean that fsync() is never called. This
1537 may provide better performance but there is also a risk that a lease
1538 will not be properly written to the disk after it has been issued
1539 to a client and before the server stops. Using this option is
1540 not recommended.

cde11a4c 1542
f88446f1
SR
1543- Add some logging statements to indicate when the server is ready
1544 to serve. One statement is emitted after the server has finished
1545 reading its files and is about to enter the dispatch loop.
1546 This is "Server starting service.".
1547 The second is emitted when a server determines that both it and
1548 its failover peer are in the normal state.
1549 This is "failover peer <name>: Both servers normal."

80778e94 1561 to find a reasonable nameserver via a DNS resolver. This restores
e54ff84f
SR
1562 some functionality that was lost in the transition to asynchronous
1563 DDNS. Due to the lack of security and increase in fragility of the
1564 system when using this feature we strongly recommend the use of
1565 appropriate zone statements rather than using this functionality.
1566 [ISC-Bugs #30461]
1567
61ef216b
SR
1568- Add support for specifying the address from which to send
1569 DDNS updates on the DHCP server. There are two new options
1570 "ddns-local-address4" and "ddns-local-address6" that each take
1571 one instance of their respective address types.
1572 [ISC-Bugs #34779]

SR
1574- Add ignore-client-uids option in the server. This option causes
1575 the server to not record a client's uid in its lease. This
1576 violates the specification but may also be useful when a client
1577 can dual boot using different client ids but the same mac address.

SR
1608- An optimization described in the failover protocol draft is now included,
1609 which permits a DHCP server operating in communications-interrupted state
1610 to 'rewind' a lease to the state most recently transmitted to its peer,
1611 greatly increasing a server's endurance in communications-interrupted.
1612 This is supported using a new 'rewind state' record on the dhcpd.leases
1613 entry for each lease.

1620- When constructing the DNS name structure from a text string append
1621 the root to relative names. This satisfies a requirement in the DNS

1625- "The LDAP Patch" that has been circulating for some time, written by
1626 Brian Masney and S.Kalyanasundraram and maintained for application to
1627 the DHCP-4 sources by David Cantrell has been included. Please be
1628 advised that these sources were contributed, and do not yet meet the
1629 high standards we place on production sources we include by default.
1630 As a result, the LDAP features are only included by using a compile-time
1631 option which defaults off, and if you enable it you do so under your
1632 own recognizance. We will be improving this software over time.

1651- A bug was fixed that could cause the DHCPv6 server to advertise/assign a
1652 previously allocated (active) lease to a client that has changed subnets,
1653 despite being on different shared networks. Dynamic prefixes specifically
1654 allocated in shared networks also now are not offered if the client has
1655 moved. [ISC-Bugs #21152]

01a44a77
SR
2023! Modify the DDNS handling code. In a previous patch we added logging
2024 code to the DDNS handling. This code included a bug that caused it
2025 to attempt to dereference a NULL pointer and eventually segfault.
2026 While reviewing the code as we addressed this problem, we determined
2027 that some of the updates to the lease structures would not work as
2028 planned since the structures being updated were in the process of
2029 being freed: these updates were removed. In addition we removed an
2030 incorrect call to the DDNS removal function that could cause a failure
2031 during the removal of DDNS information from the DNS server.

2134! Previously the server code was relaxed to allow packets with zero
2135 length client ids to be processed. Under some situations use of
2136 zero length client ids can cause the server to go into an infinite
2137 loop. As such ids are not valid according to RFC 2132 section 9.14
2138 the server no longer accepts them. Client ids with a length of 1
2139 are also invalid but the server still accepts them in order to
2140 minimize disruption. The restriction will likely be tightened in
2141 the future to disallow ids with a length of 1.

2385 address will no longer appear 'bogus' on DLPI-based systems.
2386
2387- A bug in select handling was discovered where the results of one select()
2388 call were discarded, causing the server to process the next select() call
2389 and use more system calls than required. This has been repaired - the
2390 sockets will be handled after the first return from select(), resulting in
2391 fewer system calls.

2393- The update-conflict-detection feature would leave an FQDN updated without
2394 a DHCID (still currently implemented as a TXT RR). This would cause later
2395 expiration or release events to fail to remove the domain name. The feature
2396 now also inserts the client's up to date DHCID record, so records may safely
2397 be removed at expiration or release time. Thanks to a patch submitted by
2398 Christof Chen.

2400- Memory leak in the load_balance_mine() function is fixed. This would
2401 leak ~20-30 octets per DHCPDISCOVER packet while failover was in use
2402 and in normal state.

2405 DEBUG #defines in includes/site.h.

2426 timeouts).

2450- Secondary servers in a failover pair will now perform ddns removals if
2451 they had performed ddns updates on a lease that is expiring, or was
2452 released through the primary. As part of the same fix, stale binding scopes
2453 will now be removed if a change in identity of a lease's active client is
2454 detected, rather than simply if a lease is noticed to have expired (which it
2455 may have expired without a failover server noticing in some situations).

2457- A patch supplied by David Cantrell at RedHat was applied that detects
2458 invalid calling parameters given to the ns_name_ntop() function.

2460 that causes the pointer to integer-wrap past zero.

2470 precedence. This fixes two bugs, one where host scoped configuration
2471 would not be included from a non-fixed-address6 host record, and the equal
2472 and opposite bug where subnet6 scoped configuration would not be used when

2482 to the failover primary if their clocks were not synchronized.

7d6180be
DH
2593- A bug in subnet6 parsing where options contained in subnet6 clauses would
2594 not be applied to clients addressed within that network was repaired.
2595
2596- When configuring a "subnet {}" or "subnet6 {}" without an explicit
2597 shared-network enclosing it, the DHCP software would synthesize a
2598 shared-network to contain the subnet. However, all configuration
2599 parameters within the subnet more intuitively belong "to any client
2600 on that interface", or rather the synthesized shared-network. So,
2601 when a shared-network is synthesized, it is used to contain the
2602 configuration present inside the subnet {} clause. This means that
2603 the configuration will be valid for all clients on that network, not
2604 just those addressed out of the stated subnet. If you intended the
2605 opposite, the workaround is to explicitly configure an empty
2606 shared-network.
2607
2608- A bug was fixed where Information-Request processing was not sourcing
2609 configured option values.
2610

01a54c17
EH
2664- The dhclient-script was updated to create a host route for the default
2665 gateway if the supplied subnet mask for an IPv4 address was a /32. This
2666 allows the client to work in 'captive' network environments, where the
2667 operator does not want clients to crosstalk directly.

adb95d23 2669- MINUS tokens should be parsable again.
01a54c17
EH
2670
2671- Multiple (up to "delayed-ack x;" maximum) DHCPv4 packets are now queued and
2672 released in bursts after single fsync() events when the upper limit is
2673 reached or if the receiving sockets go dry. The practical upshot is
2674 that fsync-coupled server performance is now multiplicitively increased.
2675 The default delayed ack limit is 28. Thanks entirely to a patch from
2676 Christof Chen.

2c9bf1f4
DH
2712- The minimum site code value was set to 224 in 3.1.0 to track RFC3942. This
2713 broke a lot of legacy site local configurations. The new code in place will
2714 track site local space minimum option codes and logs a warning to encourage
2715 updates and exploration of site local code migration problems. Option
2716 codes less than 128 in site local spaces remain inaccessible.
2717
2718- A possible relay agent option bug was repaired where random server
2719 initialization state may have been used to signal the relay agent
2720 information options sub-option code for the 'END' of the option space.

57fcb8d9
SK
2726- When server is configured with options that it overrides, a warning is
2727 issued when the configuration file is read, rather than at the time the
2728 option is overridden. This was important, because the warning was given
9a111ee8 2729 every time the option was overridden, which could create a lot of
57fcb8d9
SK
2730 unnecessary logging.

EH
2760- dhc6_lease_destroy() and dhc6_ia_destroy() now set lease and IA pointers
2761 to NULL after freeing, to prevent subsequent accesses to freed memory.
2762
9a111ee8 2763- The DHCPv6 server would not send the preference option unless the
76db44f9

2767- When addresses were passed as hints to the server in an IA, they were
2768 incorrectly handled, sometimes being treated as an error. Now the

2770 a requested address.

703873ab
DH
2772- If the client had multiple addresses, and one expired (was not renewed
2773 by the server), the client would continue to attempt to renew the same
2774 old address over and over. Now, the client will omit any expired
2775 addresses from future Confirm, Renew, or Rebind messages.
2776
2777- dhclient -6 will now select renew/rebind timers based upon the longest
2778 address expiration time rather than the shortest expiration time, in
2779 order to avoid cascading renewals in the event a server elects not to
2780 extend one of multiple IAADDR leases.

2802- ./configure now autodetects local database locations rather than trying
2803 to put dhcpd.leases and dhclient.leases in /usr/local/var/db, which no
2804 one ever has.

DH
2818- Relative time may now be used as a qualifier for 'allow' and 'deny' access
2819 control lists. These directives may be used to assist in re-addressing
2820 address pools without having to constantly reconfigure the server. Please
2821 see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more information on allow/deny 'after time' syntax.
2822 Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen.

DH
2824- The server will now include multiple IA_NA's and multiple IAADDRs within
2825 them, if advertised by the client. It still only seeks to allocate one
2826 new address.

2829
75135a3f 2830- Use different paths for PID and lease files when running in DHCPv4
adb95d23 2831 or DHCPv6 mode, so that servers for both protocols can be run
75135a3f

2838
9a111ee8 2839- A number of bugs with the internal handling of lease state on the

2849- The client leasing subsystem was streamlined and corrected to account
2850 more closely for changes in client link attachment selection.

9a111ee8 2854- The DHCP server no longer requires a "ddns-update-style" statement,

2876- DHCPv6 server Confirm message processing has been enhanced - it no
2877 longer replies only to clients with host {} records, it now replies

2883- DDNS updates state information are now stored in 'binding scopes' that
2884 follow the leases through their lifecycles. This enables DDNS teardowns
2885 on leases that are assigned and expired inbetween a server restart (the
2886 state is recovered from dhcpd.leases). Arbitrary user-specified binding
2887 scopes ('set var = "value";') are not yet supported.

98bd7ca0
DH
3001 Changes since 3.1.0 (NEW FEATURES)
3002
3003- DHCPv6 Client and Server protocol support. Use '-6' to run the daemons
3004 as v6-only. Use '-4' to run the daemons as v4-only (default. There is
3005 no support currently for both.
3006
3007- Server support for multiple IA_NA options, containing at most one
3008 IAADDR option.
3009
3010- Client support for one IA_NA option, containing any number of IAADDR
3011 options.
3012
3013- Server support for the DHCPv6 Information-request message.
3014
3015- Inappropriate unicast DHCPv6 messages sent to the server are now
3016 discarded, and this has rearchitected the IO system slightly.
3017
3018- The DHCPv6 server DUID defaults to type 1, is persistently stored in
3019 the leases database, and can be over-ridden (either completely, or by
3020 specifying type 1 or type 2).
3021
3022- The server only uses Rapid-Commit if it has been configured with the
3023 Rapid-Commit option and the client requests it.
3024
3025- DDNS support. We now update AAAA records in the same place we would
3026 update A records, if we have an IPv6 address. We also generate IP6.ARPA
3027 style names for PTR records if we're dealing with an IPv6 address. Both
3028 A and AAAA updates are done using the same 'fqdn.' virtual option space
3029 (although the DHCPv4 FQDN and DHCPv6 FQDN options are formatted
3030 differently, they both use the same code here).
3031
3032- The Linux dhclient-script attempts to set and remove assigned addresses,
3033 and to configure /etc/resolv.conf from nameserver and domain name
3034 configurations. It can be extended to configure other parameters.
3035
3036- Initial DHCPv6 lease support.
3037
3038- The IO system now tracks all local IP addresses, so that the DHCP
3039 applications (particularly the dhcrelay) can discern between what frames
3040 were transmitted to it, and what frames are being carried through it which
3041 it should not intercept.
3042

DH
3043 Changes since 3.1.0 (Maintenance)
3044
3045- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for virgin leases always
3046 mapped to the primary. Virgin leases now have an interleaved preference
3047 between primary and secondary.
3048
3049- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for clients with no client
3050 identifier was sometimes mishashed to the peer. Load balancing during
3051 runtime and pool rebalancing were opposing.
3052
aa3e348e
DH
3053- An assertion in lease counting relating to reserved leases was repaired.
3054
e9c59645
DH
3055- The subnet-mask option inclusion now conforms with RFC2132 section 3.3;
3056 it will only appear prior to the routers option if it is present on the
3057 Parameter-Request-List. The subnet-mask option will also only be
3058 included by default (if it is not on the PRL) in response to DISCOVER
3059 or REQUEST messages.
3060
3061- The FQDN option is only supplied if the client supplied an FQDN option or
3062 if the FQDN option was explicitly requested on the PRL.

DH
3064- Dynamic BOOTP leases are now load balanced in failover.

3069 failover protected subnets was removed.
3070
a512cc3a
DH
3071 Changes since 3.1.0b2
3072
3073- Failover rebalance events no longer play ping pong with round errors
3074 (moving leases between free and back to backup where there are an
3075 odd number of leases).
3076
3077- The 'pool' log line has been split into two messages, one before the
3078 rebalance run, and one after.
3079
3080- Any queued BNDACKs are transmitted before transmitting new BNDUPDs.
3081 This enforces the correct sequence of events for the remote server
3082 processing these messages.

3087 objects.
3088
1ba87b37
EH
3089- A new server config option "fqdn-reply" specifies whether the server
3090 should send out option 81 (FQDN). Defaults to "on". If set to "off",
3091 the FQDN option is not sent, even if the client requested it. This is
3092 needed because some clients misbehave otherwise. Thanks to Christof Chen
3093 at Allianz.

3095- Allow trace output files (-tf option) to be overwritten, rather than
3096 crashing dhcpd if the file already exists
3097

3098- A bug was fixed that caused dhcpd to segfault if a pool was declared
3099 outside the scope of a subnet in dhcpd.conf.

27837f95
DH
3101- Some uninitialized values were repaired in dhcpleasequery.c that
3102 caused the server to abort.
3103
4d2eaafb
DH
3104- A new server config option, 'do-reverse-updates', has been added
3105 which causes the server to abstain from performing updates on PTR
3106 records. Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen at Allianz.
3107
06211b40
DH
3108- A bug was repaired in subencapsulation support, where spaces separated
3109 by empty spaces would not get included.

DH
3111- A bug in dhclient was repaired which caused it to send parameter request
3112 lists of 55 bytes in length no matter how long the declared PRL was.

132d38f2
DH
3114- 'dhcp.c(3953): non-null pointer' has been repaired. This fixes a flaw
3115 wherein the DHCPv4 server may ignore a configured server-identifier.
3116

3138 hash table was repaired.
3139
616d67cb
DH
3140- The servers now try harder to transmit pending binding updates when
3141 entering normal state.
3142
3143- UPDREQ/UPDREQALL handling was optimized - it no longer dequeues and
3144 requeues all pending updates. This should reduce the number of spurious
66c8f734
DH
3145 'xid mismatch' log messages.
3146
3147- An option definition referencing leak was fixed, which resulted in early
3148 termination of dhclient upon the renewal event.
616d67cb 3149
6708d944
DH
3150- Some default hash table sizes were tweaked, some upwards, some downwards.
3151 3.1.0a1's tables resulted in a reduction in default server memory use.
3152 The new selected values provide more of a zero sum (increasing the size
3153 of tables likely to be populated, decreasing the size of tables unlikely).
3154
45d545f0 3155- Lease structures appear in three separate hashes: by IP address, by UID,
6708d944
DH
3156 and by hardware address. One type of table was used for all three, and
3157 improvements to IP address hashing were applied to all three (so UID and
3158 hardware addresses were treated like 4-byte integers). There are now two
3159 types of tables, and the uid/hw hashes use functions more appropriate
3160 to their needs.
3161
3162- The max-lease-misbalance percentage no longer causes scheduled rebalance
3163 runs to be skipped: it still governs the schedule, but every scheduled
3164 run will attempt balance.
3165
a7ee93fe
DH
3166- A segfault bug in recursive encapsulation support has been corrected.
3167
98311e4b
DH
3168 Changes since 3.0 (New Features)
3169
3170- A workaround for certain STSN servers that send a mangled domain-name
3171 option was introduced for dhclient. The client will now accept corrupted
3172 server responses, if they contain a valid DHCP_MESSAGE_TYPE (OFFER, ACK,
3173 or NAK). The server will continue to not accept corrupt client packets.
3174
98bd7ca0 3175- Support for 'reserved' (pseudo-static) and BOOTP leases via failover
a55ccdd0 3176 was introduced.
98311e4b
DH
3177
3178- Support for adding, removing, and managing class and subclass statements
3179 via OMAPI.

a55ccdd0
DH
3181- The failover implementation was updated to comply with revision 12 of
3182 the protocol draft.
3183
98311e4b
DH
3184- 'make install' now creates the initial zero-length dhcpd.leases file if
3185 one does not already exist on the system.
3186
b43c87ad 3187- RFC3942 compliance, site-local option spaces start at 224 now, not 128.
b43c87ad 3188
0b17f049
DH
3189- The Load Balance Algorithm was misimplemented. The current implementation
3190 matches RFC 3074.
3191
2727c1cf
DH
3192- lcase() and ucase() configuration expressions have been added which adjust
3193 their arguments from upper to lower and lower to upper cases respectively.
2714a8ef 3194 Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
2727c1cf 3195
febbd402
DH
3196- The dhclient 'reject ...;' statement, which rejects leases given by named
3197 server-identifiers, now permits address ranges to be specified in CIDR
7d7073e7 3198 notation. Thanks to a patch from David Boyce.
febbd402 3199
ee912528
DH
3200- The subnet-mask option is now supplied by default, but at lowest
3201 priority. This helps a small minority of clients that provide parameter
3202 request lists, but do not list the subnet-mask option because they were
3203 designed to interoperate with a server that behaves in this manner.
3204
3205- The FQDN option is similarly supplied even if it does not appear on the
3206 parameter request list, but not to the exclusion of options that do
3207 appear at the parameter request list. Up until now it had ultimate
3208 priority over the client's parameter request list.
3209
f7fdb216 3210- Varying option space code and length bit widths (8/16/32) are now
51202707 3211 supported. This is a milestone in achieving RFC 3925 "VIVSO" and
f7fdb216
DH
3212 DHCPv6 support.
3213
5e864416
DH
3214- A new common (server or client) option, 'db-time-format local;', has
3215 been added which prints the local time in /var/db/dhcpd.leases rather
3216 than UTC. Thanks to a patch from Ken Lalonde.
3217
b500bd4c
DH
3218- Some patches to improve DHCP Server startup speed from Andrew Matheson
3219 have been incorporated.
3220
2426234f
DH
3221- Failover pairs now implement 'MAC Affinity' on leases moving from the
3222 active to free states. Leases that belonged to the failover secondary
3223 are moved to BACKUP state rather than FREE upon exiting EXPIRED state.
3224 If lease rebalancing must move leases, it tries first to move leases
3225 that belong to the peer in need.
3226
3227- The server no longer sends POOLREQ messages unless the pool is severely
3228 misbalanced in the peer's favor (see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more details).
3229
3230- Pool rebalance events no longer happen upon successfully allocating a
3231 lease. Instead, they happen on a schedule. See 'man dhcpd.conf' for the
3232 min-balance and max-balance statements for more information.
3233
334bf491
DH
3234- The DHCP Relay Agent Information Option / Link Selection Sub-Option
3235 is now supported. (See RFC3527 for details).
3236
3004bebf
DH
3237- A new DDNS related server option, update-conflict-detection, has been
3238 added. If this option is enabled, dhcpd will perform normal DHCID
3239 conflict resolution (the default). If this option is disabled, it will
3240 instead trust the assigned name implicitly (removing any other bindings
3241 on that name). This option has not been made available in dhclient.
3242
567e8561
DH
3243- In those cases where the DHCP software manufactures an IP header (to
3244 transmit via bpf, lpf, etc), the IP TTL the software selects has been
3245 increased from 16 to 128. This is intended to match Microsoft Windows
3246 DHCP Client behaviour, to increase compatibility.
3247
a396d25f
DH
3248- 'ignore client-updates;' now has behaviour that is different from
3249 'deny client-updates;'. The client's request is not truly ignored,
3250 rather it is encouraged. Should this value be configured, the server
3251 updates DNS as though client-updates were set to 'deny'. That is, it
3252 enters into DNS whatever it is configured to do already, provided it is
3253 configured to. Then it sends a response to the client that lets the
3254 client believe it is performing client updates (which it will), probably
3255 for a different name. In essence, this lets the client do as it will,
3256 ignoring this aspect of their request.
3257
dba5803b
DH
3258- Support for compressed 'domain name list' style DHCP option contents, and
3259 in particular the domain search option (#119) was added.
3260
41e45067 3261- The DHCP LEASEQUERY protocol as defined in RFC4388 is now implemented.
6d103865
SK
3262 LEASEQUERY lets you query the DHCP server for information about a lease,
3263 using either an IP address, MAC address, or client identifier. Thanks
3264 to a patch from Justin Haddad.
3265
41e45067
DH
3266- DHCPD is now RFC2131 section 4.1 compliant (broadcast to all-ones ip and
3267 ethernet mac address) on the SCO platform specifically without any strange
3268 ifconfig hacks. Many thanks go to the Kroger Co. for donating the
3269 hardware and funding the development.
6d103865 3270
b543fea9
DH
3271- A new common configuration executable statement, execute(), has been
3272 added. This permits dhcpd or dhclient to execute a named external
3273 program with command line arguments specified from other configuration
3274 language. Thanks to a patch written by Mattias Ronnblom, gotten to us
3275 via Robin Breathe.
3276
b22de500
DH
3277- A new dhcp server option 'adaptive-lease-time-threshold' has been added
3278 which causes the server to substantially reduce lease-times if there are
3279 few (configured percentage) remaining leases. Thanks to a patch submitted
3280 from Christof Chen.
3281

SK
3282- Encapsulated option spaces within encapsulated option spaces is now
3283 formally supported.

3285 Changes since 3.0.6rc1

3287- supersede_lease() now requeues leases in their respective hardware
3288 address hash bucket. This mirrors client identifier behaviour.

DH
3290 Changes since 3.0.5
3291
f546c28b
DH
3292- Assorted fixes for broken network devices: Packet length is now
3293 determined from the IP header length field to finally calculate the
3294 UDP payload length, because some NIC drivers return more data than
5a22eb63 3295 they actually received.
f546c28b
DH
3296
3297- UDP packets are now stored in aligned data structures.
3298
c1e6c832
DH
3299- A logic error in omapi interface code was repaired that might result in
3300 incorrectly indicating 'up' state when any flags were set, rather than
23e10d37
DH
3301 specifically the INTERFACE_REQUESTED flag. Thanks to a patch from
3302 Jochen Voss which got to us via Andrew Pollock at Debian.
c1e6c832 3303
75ab3070
DH
3304- A reference leak on binding scopes set by ddns updates was repaired.
3305
d69fb6a8 3306- A memory leak in the minires_nsendsigned() function call was repaired.
23e10d37 3307 Effectively, this leaked ~176 bytes per DDNS update.
d69fb6a8 3308
02428754
DH
3309- In the case where an "L2" DHCP Relay Agent (one that does not set giaddr)
3310 was directly attached to the same broadcast domain as the DHCP server,
3311 the RFC3046 relay agent information option was not being returned to the
3312 relay in the server's replies. This was fixed; the dhcp server no longer
3313 requires the giaddr to reply with relay agent information. Note that
3314 this also improves compatibility with L2 devices that "intercept" DHCP
3315 packets and expect relay agent information even in unicast (renewal)
23e10d37
DH
3316 replies. Thanks to a patch from Pekka Silvonen.
3317
3318- A bug was fixed where the BOOTP header 'sname' field had a value, the
3319 copy written to persistent storage was actually the contents of the
3320 'file' field.
02428754 3321
ecde99a3
DH
3322- A bug was fixed where the nwip virtual option space was referencing
3323 the fqdn option's virtual option space's option cache.
3324
67674ffb
DH
3325- Timestamp parsing errors that indicated missing "minutes" fields rather
3326 than the actually missing "seconds" fields have been repaired thanks to
3327 a patch from Kevin Steves.

3329- A grammar error in the dhclient.8 manpage was repaired thanks to a patch
3330 from Chris Wagner.

DH
3332- Several spelling typos were repaired, and some cross-references to other
3333 relevant documents were included in the manpages, thanks to a patch
3334 by Andrew Pollock which got to us via Tomas Pospisek.
3335
9aa3f3a5
DH
3336- Some bugs were fixed in the 'emergency relay agent options hologram'
3337 which is used to retain relay agent option contents from when the
3338 client was in INIT or REBIND states. This should solve problems where
3339 relay agent options were not echoed from the server, even when giaddr
3340 was set.
3341

DH
3342- dhclient now closes its descriptor to dhclient.leases prior to executing
3343 dhclient-script. Thanks to a patch from Tomas Pospisek.
3344
d5b6835f
DH
3345- The server's "by client-id" and "by hardware address" hash table lists
3346 are now sorted according to the preference to re-allocate that lease to
3347 returning clients. This should eliminate pool starvation problems
3348 arising when "INIT" clients were given new leases rather than presently
3349 active ones.
3350
02428754 3351 Changes since 3.0.5rc1
0a73b7b6 3352
901306d5 3353- A bug was repaired in fixes to the dhclient, which sought to run the
0a73b7b6
SK
3354 dhclient-script with the 'EXPIRE' state should it receive a NAK in
3355 response to a REQUEST. The client now iterates the PREINIT state
3356 after the EXPIRE state, so that interfaces that might be configured
3357 'down' can be brought back 'up' and initialized.

DH
3359- DHCPINFORM handling for clients that properly set ciaddr and come to the
3360 server via a relay aget has been repaired.

DH
3362 Changes since 3.0.4
3363
3364- A warning that host statements declared within subnet or shared-network
3365 scopes are actually global has been added.
3366
3367- The default minimum lease time (if min-lease-time was not specified)
3368 was raised from 0 to 300. 0 is not thought to be sensible, and is
3369 known to be damaging.
3370
3371- Added additional fatal error sanity checks surrounding lease binding
3372 state count calculations (free/active counts used for failover pool
3373 balancing).
3374
dcc557db
DH
3375- Some time value size fixes in 3.0.4 brought on from FreeBSD /usr/ports were
3376 misapplied to server values rather than client values. The server no longer
3377 advertises 8-byte lease-time options when on 64-bit platforms.
3378
1b2ab55f
DH
3379- A bug where leases not in ACTIVE state would get billed to billed classes
3380 (classes with lease limitations) was fixed. Non-active leases OFFERed
3381 to clients are no longer billed (but billing is checked before offering).
3382
e48891e8
DH
3383- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated in regard to the ddns-domainname
3384 configuration option - the default configuration and results should be
3385 more clear now.
3386
6cbc6629
DH
3387- If the dhclient were to receive a DHCPNAK while it was in the RENEW
3388 state (and consequently, had an active, 'bound' address and related
3389 configuration options), it would fail to 'tear down' this information
3390 before proceeding into INIT state. dhclient now iterates the dhclient-
3391 script with the 'EXPIRE' action to cause these teardowns prior to entering
1d3bfb17 3392 INIT state. Thanks to a patch from Chris Zimmerman.
6cbc6629 3393
c5fec5fa
DH
3394- The omapi.1 manpage had some formatting errors repaired thanks to a patch
3395 from Yoshihiko Sarumaru.
3396
33e1cb2b
DH
3397- A few lines of code that were failover-specific were moved within
3398 #if defined() clauses so that compilation without failover could be
3399 made possible.
3400
2bddf829
DH
3401- The log message emitted when the 'leased-address' value was not available
3402 in dhcpd.conf "executable statements" has been updated to be more helpful.
3403 Manpage information for this value has also been updated.
3404
87578987
DH
3405- Abandoned or dissociated (err condition) leases now remove any related
3406 dynamic dns bindings. Thanks to a patch from Patrick Schoo.
3407
e77c575f
DH
3408- Attempting to write a new lease file to replace a corrupt (due to
3409 encountering non-retryable errors during writing) lease file should
3410 no longer result in an infinite recursion.
3411
2178df03
DH
3412- Host declaration hardware addresses and client identifiers may only be
3413 configured once. dhcpd will now fail to load config files that specify
3414 multiple identifiers (previous versions would silently over-ride the
3415 value with the later configured value).
3416
d5341d9b
SK
3417- Several option codes that have been allocated since our last release
3418 have been named and documented.
3419
3420- Option names of the form "unknown-123" have been removed from the in-
3421 memory hash tables. In order to support options of these names that
3422 may appear in dhclient.leases or similar in previous versions, the
3423 parser will now find the new option code definition, or mock up a
3424 generic option code definition. This should result in a smooth
3425 transition from one name to the other, as the new name is used to
3426 write new output.
3427

3428 Changes since 3.0.4rc1
3429
3430- The dhcp-options.5 manpage was updated to correct indentation errors
3431 thanks to a patch from Jean Delvare.
3432

3435- Some manual pages were clarified pursuant to discussion on the dhcp-server
3436 mailing list.
3437
88cd8aca
DH
3438 Changes since 3.0.4b2
3439
45d545f0 3440- Null-termination sensing for certain clients that unfortunately require
88cd8aca
DH
3441 it in DHCPINFORM processing was repaired.
3442
3443- The host-name option and a few others were moved from "X" format to "t"
3444 format to be compatible with new NULL handling functions.
3445
3446- DHCPINFORM processing is a little more careful about return addressing
3447 its responses, or if responding via a relay. The INFORM related
3448 messages also log the 'effective client ip address' rather than the
3449 client's supplied ciaddr (since some clients produce null ciaddrs).
3450
3451- The server was inappropriately sending leases to the RESET state in the
3452 event that multiple active leases were found to match a singly-identified
3453 client. This was changed to RELEASED (by accepting a different, ACTIVE
3454 binding, the client is implicitly releasing its lease). This repairs a
3455 bug wherein secondary servers in failover pairs detecting this condition
3456 move leases to RESET, and primaries refuse to accept that state
3457 transition (properly).
3458
3459- The memset-after-dmalloc() changes made in 3.0.4b1 have been backed out.
3460
3461 Changes since 3.0.4b1
3462
3463- Command line parsing in omshell was repaired - it no longer closes
3464 STDIN after reading one line.
3465
3466- The resolver library no longer closes the /etc/resolv.conf file
3467 descriptor it opened twice.
3468
3469- Changes to trailing NULL removal in 't' option-atoms has been rethought,
3470 it now includes 'd' (domain name) types, and tries hard not to rewind an
3471 option beyond the start of the text field it is un-terminating.
3472
3473 Changes since 3.0.3
3474
3475- A DDNS update handling function was misusing the DNS error codes, rather
3476 than the internal generic result enumeration. The result is a confusing
3477 syslog line, logging the wrong condition.
3478
3479- The DHCP Server was not checking pool balance in the case where it brought
3480 a non-ACTIVE lease out of storage for a client that was returning to use
3481 a lease it once had long ago, and had since expired.
3482
3483- Failover peers no longer bother to look for free leases to allocate when
3484 they already found the client's ACTIVE lease. DISCOVERs are load balanced
98bd7ca0 3485 whether freely-allocated or not, unless the server doubts the peer has
88cd8aca
DH
3486 leases to allocate.
3487
3488- Fixed a bug in dhcrelay agent addition code that suppressed trailing
45d545f0 3489 PAD options - it was suppressing only one trailing PAD option, rather
88cd8aca
DH
3490 than the entire block of them.
3491
3a16098f
DH
3492! Fixed some unlikely overlapping-region memcpy() bugs in dhcrelay agent
3493 option addition and stripping code. Added a few sanity checks. Although
3494 highly improbable, due to requiring the reception of a DHCP datagram well
3495 in excess of all known to be used physical MTU limitations, it is possible
3496 this may have been used in a stack overflow security vulnerability. Thanks
3497 to a patch from infamous42md.
3498
3499! Added some sanity checks to OMAPI connection/authentication code.
3500 Although highly improbable, due to having to deliver in excess of 2^32
3501 bytes of data via the OMAPI channel, not to mention requiring dhcpd to
3502 be able to malloc() a memory region 2^32 bytes in size, it was possible
3503 this might have resulted in a heap overflow security vulnerability.
3504 Thanks to a patch from infamous42md.
88cd8aca
DH
3505
3506- dmalloc() memset()'s the non-debug (data) portion of the allocated
3507 memory to zero. Code that memset()'s the result returned by dmalloc() to
3508 zero is redundant. These redundancies were removed.
3509
3510- Some type declaration corrections to u_int16_t were made in common/tr.c
4b97eaff 3511 (Token Ring support) thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
88cd8aca
DH
3512
3513- A failover bug that was allowing leases that EXPIRED or were RELEASED
3514 where tsfp and tstp are identical timestamps to languish in these
3515 transitional states has been repaired. As a side effect, lease
3516 databases should be kept more consistent overall, not just for these
3517 transitional states.
3518
3519- If the lease db is deleted out from under the daemon, and it moves to rewrite
3520 the db, it will go ahead with the operation and move the new db into place
3521 once it detects the old db does not exist.
3522
3523- dhclient now ignores IRDA, SIT, and IEEE1394 network interfaces, as it
3524 is either nonsensical or (in the case of IEEE1394) is not known to support
3525 these interfaces. Thanks to Marius Gedminas and Andrew Pollock of Debian.
3526
3527- Some previously undocumented reasons for dhclient-script invoking has
45d545f0 3528 been documented in the dhclient-script.8 manpage.
88cd8aca
DH
3529
3530- Failover potential expiry calculations (TSTP) have been corrected. Results
3531 should be substantially more consistent, and proper given the constraints.
3532
3533- Adjusted lease state validation checks in potential-conflict, to
3534 account for possible clock skew similarly to normal state, and several
3535 previously illegal transitions were made legal (ex: active->released).
3536
3537- An impossible sanity check was removed from omapi/buffer.c, thanks to a
3538 patch from 'infamous42md'.
3539
3540- An OMAPI host/network byte order problem in lease time values has been
3541 repaired.
3542
3543- Several minor bugs, largely relating to treating 8-byte time values as
3544 4-byte entities, have been repaired after careful review of the FreeBSD
3545 ports collection's patch set. Thanks to the nameless entities who have
3546 contributed to the FreeBSD ports.
3547
3548- When writing a trace file, the file is now created with permissions 0600,
3549 to help administrators avoid accidentally publicising sensitive config
3550 data.
3551
3552- The calculation of the maximum size of DHCP packets no longer includes
3553 Ethernet framing overhead. The result is that the 'Maximum Message
3554 Size' option advertised by clients, or the default value 576, is no
3555 longer reduced by 14 bytes, and instead directly reflects the IP level
3556 MTU (and the default, minimum allowed IP MTU of 576).
3557
3558- The special status of RELEASED/EXPIRED/RESET leases when a server
3559 is operating in partner-down was fixed. It no longer requires a
3560 lease be twice the MCLT beyond STOS to 'reallocate', and the expiry
3561 event to turn these into FREE leases without peer acknowledgement
3562 (after STOS+MCLT) has been repaired.
3563
3564- Compilation on older Solaris systems (lacking /usr/include/sys/int_types.h)
3565 has been repaired.
3566
3567- "append"ing a string onto the end of a "t" type option (such as the
3568 domain-name field) that had been improperly NULL-terminated by the
3569 DHCP server will no longer result in a truncated string containing
3570 only the option from the server, and not the expected appended value.
4b97eaff 3571 Thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
88cd8aca
DH
3572
3573- File handlers on configuration state (config files and lease dbs) should
98bd7ca0 3574 be treated consistently, regardless of whether TRACING is defined or not.
88cd8aca 3575
45d545f0 3576- The Linux build environment has had some minor improvements - better
88cd8aca
DH
3577 sensing of 64-bit pointer sizes (only used for establishing an icmp_id),
3578 and corrections to #if operators regarding LINUX_MAJOR should it ever
3579 move to 3.[01].x.
3580
3581- The server now tries harder to survive the condition where it is unable
3582 to open a new lease file to rewrite the lease state database.
3583

3584 Changes since 3.0.3b3
3585
3586- dhclient.conf documentation for interface {} was updated to reflect recent
3587 discussion on the dhcp-hackers mailing list.
3588
3589- In response to reports that the software does not compile on GCC 4.0.0,
3590 -Werror was removed from Makefile.conf for all platforms that used it.
3591 We will address the true problem in a future release; this is a temporary
3592 workaround.
3593
3594 Changes since 3.0.3b2
3595
3596- An error in code changes introduced in 3.0.3b2 was corrected, which caused
3597 static BOOTP clients to receive random addresses.
3598
3599 Changes since 3.0.3b1
3600
3601- A bug was fixed in BOOTPREQUEST handling code wherein stale references to
3602 host records would be left behind on leases that were not allocated to the
3603 client currently booting (eg in the case where the host was denied booting).
3604
3605- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated to be more clear in regards to
3606 multiple host declarations (thanks to Vincent McIntyre). 'Interim' style
3607 dynamic updates were also retouched.

DH
3609 Changes since 3.0.2
3610
3611- A bug was fixed where a server might load balance a DHCP REQUEST to its
45d545f0 3612 peer after already choosing not to load balance the preceding DISCOVER.
98311e4b
DH
3613 The peer cannot allocate the originating server's lease.
3614
3615- In the case where a secondary server lost its stable storage while the
3616 primary was still in communications-interrupted, and came back online,
3617 the lease databases would not be fully transferred to the secondary.
3618 This was due to the secondary errantly sending an extra UPDREQ message
3619 when the primary made its state transition to PARTNER-DOWN known.
3620
3621- The package will now compile cleanly in gcc 3.3 and 3.4. As a side effect,
3622 lease structures will be 9 bytes smaller on all platforms. Thanks to
4b97eaff 3623 Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3624
3625- Interface discovery code in DISCOVER_UNCONFIGURED mode is now
3626 properly restricted to only detecting broadcast interfaces. Thanks
4b97eaff 3627 to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3628
3629- decode_udp_ip_header was changed so that the IP address was copied out
3630 to a variable, rather than referenced by a pointer. This enforces 4-byte
3631 alignment of the 32-bit IP address value. Thanks to a patch from Dr.
3632 Peter Poeml.
3633
3634- An incorrect log message was corrected thanks to a patch from
3635 Dr. Peter Poeml.
3636
3637- A bug in DDNS was repaired, where if the server's first DDNS action was
3638 a DDNS removal rather than a DDNS update, the resolver library's
3639 retransmit timer and retry timer was set to the default, implying a
3640 15 second timeout interval. Which is a little excessive in a synchronous,
3641 single-threaded system. In all cases, ISC DHCP should now hold fast to
3642 a 1-second timeout, trying only once.
3643
3644- The siaddr field was being improperly set to the server-identifier when
3645 responding to DHCP messages. RFC2131 clarified the siaddr field as
3646 meaning the 'next server in the bootstrap process', eg a tftp server.
3647 The siaddr field is now left zeroed unless next-server is configured.
3648
3649- mockup_lease() could have returned in an error condition (or in the
3650 condition where no fixed-address was found matching the shared
3651 network) with stale references to a host record. This is probably not
3652 a memory leak since host records generally never die anyway.
3653
3654- A bug was repaired where failover servers would let stale client identifiers
3655 persist on leases that were reallocated to new clients not sending an id.
3656
3657- Binding scopes ("set var = value;") are now removed from leases allocated
3658 by failover peers if the lease had expired. This should help reduce the
3659 number of stale binding scopes on leases.
3660
3661- A small memory leak was closed involving client identifiers larger than
3662 7 bytes, and failover.
3663
3664- Configuring a subnet in dhcpd.conf with a subnet mask of 32 bits might
3665 cause an internal function to overflow heap. Thanks to Jason Vas Dias
4b97eaff 3666 at Red Hat.

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

4168- Allow the primary to send a POOLREQ message. This isn't what the current
4169 failover draft says to do, so we may have to back it out if I can't get the
4170 authors to relent, but the scheme for balancing that's specified in the
4171 current draft seems needlessly hairy, so I'm floating a trial balloon.
4172 The rc1 code did not implement the method described in the draft either.

4175
4176- Treat NXDOMAIN and NXRRSET as success when we are trying to delete a
4177 domain or RRSET. This allows the DHCP server to forget about a name
4178 it added to the DNS once it's been removed, even if the DHCP server
4179 wasn't the one that removed it.
4180
4181- Install defaults for failover maximum outstanding updates and maximum
4182 silent time. This prevents problems that might occur if these values
4183 were not configured.
4184
4185- Don't do DDNS deletes if ddns-update-style is none.
4186
4187- Return relay agent information options in DHCPNAK. This prevents DHCPNAK
4188 messages from being dropped when the relay agent information option contains
4189 routing information.
4190
4191- Fix a problem where coming up in recover wouldn't result in an update
4192 request being sent.
4193
4194- Add some more chatty messages when we start a recovery update and when it's
4195 done.
4196
4197- Fix a possible problem where some state might have been left around
4198 after the peer lost contact and regained contact about how many updates
4199 were pending.
4200
4201- Don't nix a lease update because of a lease conflict. This test has
4202 never (as far as I know) prevented a mistake, and it appears to cause
4203 problems with failover.
4204
4205- Add support in rc history code for keeping a selective history, rather
4206 than a history of all references and dereferences. This code is only used
4207 when extensive additional debugging is enabled.

DH
4210
4211- Make allocators for hash tables. As a side effect, this fixes a memory
4212 smash in the subclass allocation code.
4213
4214- Fix a small bug in omshell where if you try to close an object when
4215 no object is open, it dumps core.
4216
4217- Fix an obscure coredump that could occur on shutdown.
4218
4219- Fix a bug in the recording of host declaration rubouts in the lease file.
4220
4221- Fix two potential spins in the host deletion code.
4222
4223- Fix a core dump that would happen if an application tried to update
4224 a host object attribute with a null value.
4225
4226 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 12
4227
4228- Fix a memory leak in the evaluation code.
4229
4230- Fix an obscure core dump.
4231
4232- Print a couple of new warnings when parsing the configuration file
4233 when crucial information is left out.
4234
4235- Log "no free leases" as an error.
4236
4237- Documentation updates.
4238
4239 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 11
4240
4241- Always return a subnet selection option if one is sent.
4242
4243- Fix a warning that was being printed because an automatic data
4244 structure wasn't zeroed.
4245
4246- Fix some failover state transitions that were being handled
4247 incorrectly.
4248
4249- When supersede_lease is called on a lease whose end time has already
4250 expired, but for which a state transition has not yet been done, do
4251 a state transition. This fixes the case where if the secondary
4252 allocated a lease to a client and the lease "expired" while the
4253 secondary was in partner-down, no expiry event would actually
4254 happen, so the lease would remain active until the primary was
4255 restarted.
4256
4257 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 10
4258
4259- Fix a bug that was preventing released leases from changing state
4260 in failover-enabled pools.
4261
4262- Fix a core dump in the client identifier finder code (for host
4263 declarations).
4264
4265- Finish fixing a bug where bogus data would sometimes get logged to
4266 the dhclient.leases file because it was opened as descriptor 2.
4267
4268- Fix the Linux dhclient-script according to suggestions made by
4269 several people on the dhcp-client mailing list.
4270
4271- Log successful DNS updates at LOG_INFO, not LOG_ERROR.
4272
4273- Print an error message and refuse to run if a failover peer is
4274 defined but not referenced by any pools.
4275

4290 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8 Patchlevel 1
4291
4292- Fix a parsing bug that broke dns updates (both interim and ad-hoc).
4293 This was introduced in rc8pl1 as an unintended result of the memory
4294 leakage fixes that were in pl1.
4295
4296- Fix a long-standing bug where the server would record that an update
4297 had been done for a client with no name, even though no update had
4298 been done, and then when the client's lease expired the deletion of
4299 that nonexistant record would time out because the name was the null
9a111ee8 4300 string.

4307 one-lease-per-client was enabled.
4308
4309- Fix a bug that was causing core dumps on BSD/os in the presence of
4310 malformed packets.
4311
4312- In partner-down state, don't restrict lease lengths to MCLT.
4313
4314- On the failover secondary, record the MCLT received from the primary
4315 so that if we come up without a connection to the primary we don't
4316 wind up giving out zero-length leases.
4317
4318- Fix some compilation problems on BSD/os.
4319
4320- Fix a bunch of memory leaks.
4321
4322- Fix a couple of bugs in the option printer.
4323
4324- Fix an obscure error reporting bug in the dns update code, and also
4325 make the message clearer when a key algorithm isn't supported.
4326
4327- Fix a bug in the tracing code that prevented trace runs that used
4328 tcp connections from being played back.
4329
4330- Add some additional debugging capability for catching memory leaks
4331 on exit.
4332
4333- Make the client release the lease correctly on shutdown.
4334
4335- Add some configurability to the build system.
4336
4337- Install omshell manual page in man1, not man8.
4338
4339- Craig Gwydir sent in a patch that fixes a long-standing bug in the
4340 DHCP client that could cause core dumps, but that for some reason
4341 hadn't been noticed until now.
4342
4343 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 7
4344
4345- Fix a bug in failover where we weren't sending updates after a
4346 transition from communications-interrupted to normal.
4347
4348- Handle expired/released/reset -> free transition according to the
4349 protocol specification (this works - the other way not only wasn't
4350 conformant, but also didn't work).
4351
4352- Add a control object in both client and server that allows either
4353 daemon to be shut down cleanly.
4354
4355- When writing a lease, if we run out of disk space, shut down the
4356 output file and insist on writing a new one before proceeding.
4357
4358- In the server, if the OMAPI listener port is occupied, keep trying
4359 to get it, rather than simply giving up and exiting.
4360
4361- Support fetching variables from leases and also updating and adding
4362 variables to leases via OMAPI.
4363
4364- If two failover peers have wildly different clocks, refuse to start
4365 doing failover.
4366
4367- Fix a bug in the DNS update code that could cause core dumps when
4368 running on alpha processors.
4369
4370- Fixed a bug in ddns updates for static lease entries, thanks to a
4371 patch from Andrey M Linkevitch.
4372
4373- Add support for Darwin/MacOS X
4374
4375- Install omshell (including new documentation).
4376
4377- Support DNS updates in the client (this is a very obscure feature
4378 that most DHCP client users probably will not be able to use).
4379
4380- Somewhat cleaner status logging in the client.
4381
4382- Make OMAPI key naming syntax compatible with the way keys are
4383 actually named (key names are domain names).
4384
4385- Fix a bug in the lease file writer.
4386
4387- Install DHCP ISC headers in a different place than BIND 9 ISC
4388 headers, to avoid causing trouble in BIND 9 builds.
4389
4390- Don't send updates for attributes on an object when the attributes
4391 haven't changed. Support deleting attributes on remote objects.
4392
4393- Fix a number of bugs in omshell, and add the unset and refresh
4394 statements.
4395
4396- Handle disconnects in OMAPI a little bit more intelligently (so that
4397 the caller gets ECONNRESET instead of EINVAL).
4398
4399- Fix a bunch of bugs in the handling of clients that have existing
4400 leases when the try to renew their leases while failover is
4401 operating.

4406 a client that had a host declaration that contained both a
4407 fixed-address declaration and a dhcp-client-identifier option
4408 declaration, if the client identifier was longer than nine bytes.
4409

4411 using omapi to manipulate leases.

4418 chains from having their reference counts decreased on dereference.
4419
4420- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that would prevent object
4421 chains from being freed upon removal of the last reference external
4422 to the chain.
4423
4424- Fix a number of other memory leaks in the OMAPI protocol subsystem.

4440 DHCPDECLINE.
4441
4442- Fix failover peer OMAPI support.
4443
4444- In failover, correctly handle expiration of leases. Previously,
4445 leases would never be reclaimed because they couldn't make the
4446 transition from EXPIRED to FREE.
4447
4448- Fix some broken failover state transitions.
4449
4450- Documentation fixes.
4451
4452- Take out an unnecessary check in DHCP relay agent information option
4453 stashing code that was preventing REBINDING clients from rebinding.
4454
4455- Prevent failover peers from allocating leases in DHCPREQUEST
4456 processing if the lease belongs to the other server.
4457
4458- Record server version in lease file introductory comment.
4459
4460- Correctly report connection errors in OMAPI and failover.
4461
4462- Make authentication signature algorithm name comparisons in OMAPI
4463 case-insensitive.
4464
4465- Fix compile problem on SunOS 4.x
4466
98311e4b 4467- If a signature algorithm is not terminated with '.', terminate it so
eaf0b302
TL
4468 that comparisons between fully-qualified names will work
4469 consistently.
4470
4471- Different SIOCGIFCONF probe code, may "fix" problem on some Linux
4472 systems with the probe not working correctly.

4490 core dumps.

4493 Friedrich.

4496
4497 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 2
4498
4499- Change the conditions under which a DHCPRELEASE is actually
4500 committed to be consistent with lease binding states rather than
98311e4b 4501 using the lease end time. This may fix some problems with the
892fe689
TL
4502 billing class code.
4503
4504- Fix a bug where lease updates would fail on Digital Unix (and maybe
4505 others) because malloc was called with a size of zero.
4506
4507- Fix a core dump that happens when the DHCP server can't create its
4508 trace file.

87784777 4511
79ea3de8
TL
4512- Fix the dhcp_failover_put_message to not attempt to allocate a
4513 zero-length buffer. Some versions of malloc() fail if you try to
4514 allocate a zero-length buffer, and this was causing problems on,
4515 e.g., Digital Unix.
4516
4517- Fix a case where the failover code was printing an error message
4518 when no error had occurred.
4519
4520- Fix a problem where when a server went down and back up again, the
4521 peer would not see a state transition and so would stay in the
4522 non-communicating state.
4523
4524- Be smart about going into recover_wait.
4525
4526- Fix a problem in the failover implementation where peers would fail
4527 to come into sync if interrupted in the RECOVER state. This could
4528 have been the cause of some problems people have reported recently.
4529
4530- Fix a problem with billing classes where they would not be unbilled
4531 when the client lease expired.
4532
4533- If select fails, figure out which descriptor is bad, and cut it out
4534 of the I/O loop. This prevents a potentially nasty spin. I
4535 haven't heard any report it in a while, but it came up consistently
4536 in testing.
4537
4538- Fix a bug in the relay agent where if you specified interfaces on
4539 the command line, it would fail.
4540
4541- Fix a couple of small bugs in the omapi connection object (no known
4542 user impact).
4543
4544- Add the missing 3.0 Beta 1 lease conversion script.
4545
4546- Read dhcp client script hooks if they exist, rather than only if
4547 they're executable.

4587
4588- Fix a bug in the DNS update code where a status code was not being
4589 checked. This may have been causing core dumps.
4590
4591- When parsing the lease file, if a lease declaration includes a
4592 billing class statement, and the lease already has a billing class,
4593 unbill the old class.
4594
4595- When processing failover transactions, where acks will be deferred,
4596 process the state transition immediately.
4597
4598- Don't try to use the new SIOCGIFCONF buffer size detection code on
4599 Linux 2.0, which doesn't provide this functionality.
4600

4605- Fix a parse error in the client when setting up an omapi listener.
4606
4607- Document the -n and -g flags to the client.
4608
4609- Make sure there is always a stdin and stdout on startup. This
4610 prevents shell scripts from accidentally writing error messages into
4611 configuration files that happen to be opened as stderr.
4612
4613- If an interface is removed, the client will now notice that it is
4614 gone rather than spinning. This has only been tested on NetBSD.
4615
4616- The client will attempt to get an address even if it can't create a
4617 lease file.
4618
4619- Don't overwrite tracefiles.

4639 pl19.

4663
4664- Implement omshell, which can be used to do arbitrary things to the
4665 server (in theory). (Damien Neil)
4666
4667- Fix a case where if a client had two different leases the server could
4668 actually dereference the second one when it hadn't been referenced,
4669 leading to memory corruption and a core dump. (James Brister)
4670
4671- Fix a case where a client could request the address of another client's
4672 lease, but find_lease wouldn't detect that the other client had it, and
4673 would attempt to allocate it to the client, resulting in a lease conflict
4674 message.
4675
4676- Fix a case where a client with more than one client identifier could be
4677 given a lease where the hardware address was correct but the client
4678 identifier was not, resulting in a lease conflict message.
4679
98311e4b 4680- Fix a problem where the server could write out a colon-separated
3350f5b7
TL
4681 hex list as a value for a variable, which would then not parse.
4682 The fix is to always write strings as quoted strings, with any
4683 non-printable characters quoted as octal escape sequences. So
4684 a file written the old way still won't work, but new files written
4685 this way will work.

4687- Fix documentation for sending non-standard options.
4688
4689- Use unparsable names for unknown options. WARNING: this will
4690 break any configuration files that use the option-nnn convention.
4691 If you want to continue to use this convention for some options,
4692 please be sure to write a definition, like this:
4693
4694 option option-nnn code nnn = string;

4699 DHCPREQUEST/DHCPACK/DHCPREQUEST/DHCPNAK sequence. This was the
4700 result of a deceptively silly bug in supersede_lease.
4701

4715- Add support for transaction tracing. This allows the state of the
4716 DHCP server on startup, and all the subsequent transactions, to be
4717 recorded in a file which can then be played back to reproduce the
4718 behaviour of the DHCP server. This can be used to quickly
4719 reproduce bugs that cause core dumps or corruption, and also for
4720 tracking down memory leaks.
4721
4722- Incorporate some bug fixes provided by Joost Mulders for the DLPI
4723 package which should clear up problems people have been seeing on
4724 Solaris.
4725
4726- Fix bugs in the handling of options stored as linked lists (agent
4727 options, fqdn options and nwip options) that could cause memory
4728 corruption and core dumps.
4729
4730- Fix a bug in DHCPREQUEST handling that resulted in DHCPNAK messages
4731 not being send in some cases when they were needed.
4732
4733- Make the lease structure somewhat more compact.
4734
4735- Make initial failover startup *much* faster. This was researched
4736 and implemented by Damien Neil.
4737
4738- Add a --version flag to all executables, which prints the program
4739 name and version to standard output.
4740
4741- Don't rewrite the lease file every thousand leases.

4751 DHCP client script on the DHCP client command line.

4754
4755- Fix a bug in the DHCP client initial startup backoff interval, which
4756 would cause two DHCPDISCOVERS to be sent back-to-back on startup.

4775
4776- Finish fixing a long-standing bug in the agent options code. This
4777 was causing core dumps and failing to operate correctly - in
4778 particular, agent option stashing wasn't working. Agent option
4779 stashing should now be working, meaning that agent options can be
4780 used in class statements to control address allocation.
4781
4782- Fix up documentation.
4783
4784- Fix a couple of small memory leaks that would have added up
4785 significantly in a high-demand situation.
4786
4787- Add a log-facility configuration parameter.
4788
4789- Fix a compile error on some older operating systems.
4790
4791- Add the ability in the client to execute certain statements before
4792 transmitting packets to the server. Handy for debugging; not much
4793 practical use otherwise.
4794
4795- Don't send faked-out giaddr when renewing or bound - again, useful

4801 an option with an (unsigned) negative length, resulting in a core
4802 dump on some systems.
4803
4804- Work around the Win98 DHCP client, which NUL-terminates the FQDN
4805 option.
4806
4807- Work around Win98 and Win2k clients that will claim they want to do
4808 the update even when they don't have any way to do it.
4809
4810- Fix some log messages that can be printed when failover is operating
4811 that were not printing enough information.
4812
4813- It was possible for a DHCPDISCOVER to get an allocation even when
4814 the state machine said the server shouldn't be responding.
4815
4816- Don't load balance DHCPREQUESTs from clients in RENEWING and
4817 REBINDING, since in RENEWING, if we heard it, it's for us, and in
4818 REBINDING, the client wouldn't have got to REBINDING if its primary
4819 were answering.

4822 the transition.

4831- Albert Herranz tracked down and fixed a subtle bug in the base64
4832 decoder that would prevent any key with an 'x' in its base64
4833 representation from working correctly.
4834
4835- Thanks to Chris Cheney and Michael Sanders, we have a fix for the
4836 hang that they both spotted in the DHCP server - when
4837 one-lease-per-client was set, the code to release the "other" lease
4838 could spin.
4839
4840- Fix a problem with alignment of the input buffer in bpf in cases
4841 where two packets arrive in the same bpf read.
4842
4843- Fix a problem where the relay agent would crash if you specified an
4844 interface name on the command line.
4845
4846- Add the ability to conditionalize client behaviour based on the
4847 client state.
4848
4849- Add support for the FQDN option, and added support for a new way of
4850 doing ddns updates (ddns update style interim) that allows more than
4851 one DHCP server to update the DNS for the same network(s). This
4852 was implemented by Damien Neil with some additional functionality
4853 added by Ted Lemon.
4854
4855- Damien added a "log" statement, so that the configuration file can
4856 be made to log debugging information and other information.
4857
4858- Fixed a bug that caused option buffers not to be terminated with an
4859 end option.
4860
4861- Fixed a long-standing bug in the support for option spaces where the
4862 options are stored as an ordered list rather than in a hash table,
4863 which could theoretically result in memory pool corruption.
4864
4865- Prevent hardware declarations with no actual hardware address from
4866 being written as something unparsable, and behave correctly in the
4867 face of a null hardware address on input.
4868
4869- Allow key names to be FQDNs, and qualify the algorithm name if it is
4870 specified unqualified.
4871
4872- Modify the DDNS update code so that it never prints the "resolver
4873 failed" message, but instead says *why* the resolver failed.
4874
4875- Officially support the subnet selection option, which now has an
4876 RFC.

4901 configuration language.

4911 the DHCP option space.

4913- Add a warning message if the RHS of a not is not boolean.
4914
4915- Never select for more than a day, because some implementations of
4916 select will just fail if the timeout is too long (!).
4917
4918- Fix a case where a DHCPDISCOVER from an unknown network would be
4919 silently dropped.
4920
4921- Fix a bug where if a client requested an IP address for which a different
4922 client had the lease, the DHCP server would reallocate it anyway.

4925 will be correctly updated.

4938- Fix a possible DoS attack where a client could cause the checksummer
4939 to dump core. This was a read, not a write, so it shouldn't be
4940 possible to exploit it any further than that.
4941
4942- Implement client- and server-side support for using the Client FQDN
4943 option.
4944
4945- Support for other option spaces in the client has been added. This
4946 means that it is now possible to define a vendor option space on the
4947 client, request options in that space from the server (which must
4948 define the same option space), and then use those options in the
4949 client. This also allows NWIP and Client FQDN options to be used
4950 meaningfully.
4951
4952- Add object initializer support. This means that objects can now be
4953 initialized to something other than all-zeros when allocated, which
4954 makes, e.g., the interface object support code a little more robust.
4955
4956- Fix an off-by-one bug in the host stuffer. This was causing host
4957 deletes not the work, and may also have been causing OMAPI
4958 connections to get dropped. Thanks to James Brister for tracking
4959 this one down!
4960
4961- Fixed a core dump in the interface discovery code that is triggered

4996 spawn with.

4999 potentially bogus leases into the in-memory database.

5002 for OMAPI.
