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

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

54
1e08558f
SR
55 Changes since 4.3.4
56
914c567d
FD
57- Fixed util/bindvar.sh error handling.
58 [ISC-Bugs #41973]
1e08558f 59
0b0a1399
SR
60- Correct error message in relay to use remote id length instead
61 of circuit id length.
62 [ISC-Bugs #42556]
63
e105afa1
SR
64- Add support for including an encapsulated option in a response
65 from the DHCPv6 server. This allows the v6 FQDN option to be
66 returned in responses.
67 [ISC-Bugs #29246]
68
4f553fea
TM
69- Add logic to test directory Makefiles to avoid copying Attfile(s)
70 when building within the source tree. This eliminates a noisy but
71 otherwise harmless error message when running "make check".
72 [ISC-Bugs #41883]
73
09dccd03
TM
74- Leases are now scrubbed of certain prior use information when pool
75 re-balancing reassigns them from one FO peer to the other. This
76 corrects an issue where leases that were offered but ignored retained
77 the client hostname from the original client.
78 [ISC-Bugs #42008]
79
eb2d84b6
SR
80- In the LDAP code and schema add some missing '6' characters to use
81 the v6 instead of the v4 versions. Thanks to Denis Taranushin for
82 reporting this issue and supplying its patch.
83 [ISC-Bugs #42666]
84
33dca28a
TM
85 Changes since 4.3.4b1
86
87- None
88
7da1ac2b
TM
89 Changes since 4.3.3
90
555093da
TM
91- Corrected a static analyzer warning in common/execute.c
92 [ISC-Bugs #40374]
e82906fc 93
555093da
TM
94- ISC DHCP now follows the common convention to use the base name a
95 program is invoked with (aka argv[0], vs. a builtin name) for
cb0d7e7c 96 logs. This should help differentiate syslog entries for DHCPv4 and
555093da
TM
97 DHCPv6 servers. You can define OLD_LOG_NAME in includes/site.h to
98 keep the previous behavior.
99 [ISC-Bugs #38692]
20931f53 100
26de50fb 101- The Linux packet filter code now correctly treats only the least significant
c808603e 102 12 bits in an inbound packet's TCI value as the VLAN id (per IEEE 802.1Q).
555093da
TM
103 Prior to this it was using the entire 16 bit value as the VLAN id and
104 incorrectly discarding packets. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for
105 reporting this issue and supplying its patch.
106 [ISC-Bugs #40591]
5cc6f201 107
c808603e 108- Fixed several static analysis issues such as potential null
e8e6768a
TM
109 references, unchecked strdup returns. Thanks to Bill Parker (wp02855 at
110 gmail dot com) who identified these issues and supplied patches to
111 address them.
88c3ff5d 112 [ISC-Bugs #40754]
e8e6768a 113 [ISC-Bugs #40823]
88c3ff5d 114
555093da
TM
115- Corrected compilation errors that prohibited building the server
116 and its ATF unit tests when failover is disabled.
117 [ISC-Bugs #40372]
f10cbbfa 118
555093da
TM
119- Added the lease address to the end of the debug level log message
120 emitted when an existing lease is renewed within the dhcp-cache-threshold.
121 Thanks to Nathan Neulinger at Missouri S&T for suggesting the change.
122 [ISC-Bugs #40598]
5fc79cfd 123
555093da
TM
124- Added dhcpv6 and delayed-ack to settings listed in the "Features:"
125 section of the configure script output. Additionally, all of the
126 features reported on will now always show either a "yes" or "no"
127 value. Prior to this features left to their default setting would
128 not show a value.
129 [ISC-Bugs #40381]
130
131- Added a parameter, authoring-byte-order, to the lease file. This value
132 is automatically added to the top of new lease files by the server and
133 indicates the internal byte order (big endian or little endian) of the
134 server. This permits lease files generated on a server with one form of
135 byte order to be used on a server with the opposite form. Our thanks to
136 Timothe Litt for calling this to our attention and for the suggestions
137 he provided.
138 [ISC-Bugs #38396]
646acb59 139
d1d1da8f 140- Fixed a small memory leak in the DHCPv6 version of the client code.
18ba0ff3
SR
141 This is unlikely to cause significant issues in actual use.
142 [ISC-Bugs #40990]
143
ce29e695
TM
144- Corrected a few minor memory leaks in omapi's dereferencing of
145 host objects. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for reporting
146 the issue and supplying the patches.
147 [ISC-Bugs #33990]
75ab52e1 148 [ISC-Bugs #41325]
ce29e695 149
d1d1da8f
FD
150- Cleaned up some of the Make infrastructure to make --with-libbind
151 work better. Though it still only works with an absolute path.
152 [ISC-Bugs #39210]
153
154- Made the embedded bind libraries able to be cross compiled
155 (please refer to the bind9 documentation to learn how to cross
156 compile DHCP and its bind library dependency).
157 [ISC-Bugs #38836]
158
c88dfebd
SR
159- Update the client code to better support getting IA_NAs and IA_PDs
160 in the same packet, see RFC7550 for some discussion.
161 [ISC-Bugs #40190]
162
08ad1e3c 163! Update the bounds checking when receiving a packet.
4ce21cb6
SR
164 Thanks to Sebastian Poehn from Sophos for the bug report and a suggested
165 patch.
166 [ISC-Bugs #41267]
825c459c 167 CVE: CVE-2015-8605
4ce21cb6 168
b2cb745b
SR
169- When handling an incorrect command line for dhcpd, dhclient or dhcrelay
170 print out a specific error message about the first error in addition
171 to the usage string. This may be disabled by editing includes/site.h.
172 [ISC-Bugs #40321]
eda1d0aa 173 [ISC-Bugs #41454]
b2cb745b 174
cacce092
TM
175- The configure script will now exit with an error message if it cannot find
176 a GNU-style make tool (needed when building BIND libraries) or pkg-config
177 (needed to locate ATF used for building unit tests). Prior to this the
178 script would exit indicating success causing subsequent attempts to build
179 the software to fail.
180 [ISC-Bugs #40371]
181
4ced250f 182- Properly terminate strings before passing them to regex and fix
c808603e 183 a boundary error when creating certain new data strings.
4ced250f
SR
184 Thanks to Andrey Jr. Melnikov for the bug report.
185 [ISC-Bugs #41217]
186
a3471269
TM
187- Option expressions, such as prepend and append, are now supported when
188 running dhclient for IPv6. Prior to this such statements in the
189 client configuration file would be parsed but have no affect. Thanks
190 to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for reporting the issue.
191 [ISC-Bugs #39952]
192
3e3b5257
TM
193- A failover primary server will now accept a binding status update from the
194 secondary which transitions a lease from ACTIVE to ABANDONED. This accounts
195 for instances in which a client declines a lease and only the secondary
196 server receives it. Prior to this the primary server would reject such an
197 update as an "invalid state transition".
fd1ba363 198 [ISC_BUGS #25189]
3e3b5257 199
ba4c704d
SR
200- Properly allocate memory for a bpf filter.
201 Thanks to Bill Parker (wp02855 at gmail dot com) who identified this issue.
202 [ISC-Bugs #41485]
203
b1eea858
SR
204- Updated contrib/dhcp-lease-list.pl to handle garbage in the oui file better
205 and to print out the hostnames a bit better.
0958dea4 206 Thanks to Antoine Beaupré from Debian for the suggested patch.
b1eea858
SR
207 [ISC-Bugs #41288]
208
36c4a037
SR
209- The DHCPv6 server now handles long valid and preferred lease times better.
210 Values that would cause the internal end time of the lease to wrap are
211 modified to work as infinite.
212 [ISC-Bugs #40773]
213
41b5a1a6
FD
214- Updated support for cross compiling by allowing the library archiver
215 to be set at configure time via the environment variable 'AR'.
216 [ISC-Bugs #41536]
217
62a9eb91
TM
218- The server will now match DHCPv6 relayed clients to host declarations
219 which include the "hardware" statement, if the relay connected to the
220 client supplies the client's hardware address via client-linklayer-address
221 option as per RFC 6939.
222 [ISC-Bugs #40334]
223
b7311aae
FD
224- Allow a filename to be specified instead of /dev/random during
225 configuration. This is passed to the BIND configuration to allow
226 for cross compilation.
227 [ISC-Bugs #33835]
228
1bfdeaae
SR
229- Add more option definitions.
230 [ISC-Bugs #40562]
231
1d3fc4d0
SR
232- Correct outputting of long lines in the lease file when writing
233 a lease that includes long strings in an execute statement.
234 [ISC-Bugs #40994]
235
68b5d395
TM
236- The server will now correctly treat a lease as reserved when the client
237 requests an infinite lease time (i.e. OxFFFFFFFF) and "infinite-is-reserved"
238 is enabled. Prior to this the server would halt. In addition, corrections
239 were made to the server to allow a lease's flags field to be set via omapi.
240 Prior to this, the server, depending on the host architecture, would
241 incorrectly parse the new flags value from the omapi message.
242 [ISC-Bugs #31179]
243
f704712e
FD
244- ISC DHCP can now be configured and built from a directory other than
245 the top level source directory. Note that "make distcheck" uses this
246 feature.
247 [ISC-Bugs #39262]
248
6e7e6637 249- Add support for RFC 3527 to dhcrelay. A new, dhcrelay command line argument,
b12e0ca9 250 "-U <interface>" enables the addition of a RFC 3527 compliant link selection
6e7e6637
TM
251 suboption to the agent option added for clients directly connected to the
252 relay.
253 [ISC-Bugs #34875]
cbef159e 254 [ISC-Bugs #41708]
6e7e6637 255
dce576b8
TM
256- Add a new global DHCPv6 option, dhcpv6-set-tee-times, which when enabled
257 instructs the server to calculate T1 and T2 as recommended in RFC 3315,
258 Section 22.4.
259 [ISC-Bugs #25687]
260
45086eef
TM
261- Corrected minor Coverity issues.
262 [ISC-Bugs #35144]
263
785c1a51
FD
264- Add support for RFC 7341 DHCPv4 over DHCPv6 with a new configuration
265 option "--enable-dhcpv4o6". Note this feature requires DHCPv6 support
266 and is not compatible with delayed-ack. Both client and server use 2
267 processes which communicate over UDP on a pair of sockets. The new
cb0d7e7c 268 "-4o6 <port>" command line argument enables DHCPv4 over DHCPv6 support
785c1a51
FD
269 and specifies the consecutive ports to use for inter-process communication.
270 Please look at doc/DHCPv4-over-DHCPv6 for more details.
271 [ISC-Bugs #35711]
272
cc1bd34e 273- Correct interface name formation when using DLPI under Solaris 11. As of
0f1a34e9
TM
274 Solaris 11, ethernet device files are located in "/dev/net". The configure
275 script has been modified to detect this situation and adjust the directory
9b2e9347
TM
276 used accordingly. Thanks to Jarkko Torppa for reporting this issue and
277 submitting a patch
0f1a34e9 278 [ISC-Bugs #37954]
fca944db 279 [ISC-Bugs #40752]
0f1a34e9 280
84ee63a0
SR
281- Add a dereference call when handling an error condition while
282 decoding a packet.
283 [ISC-Bugs #41774]
284
cc1bd34e
TM
285- Add a new parameter, lease-id-format, to both dhcpd and dhclient. The
286 parameter controls the format in which certain values are written to lease
287 files. Formats supported are octal - quoted string containing octal
34a09be0
TM
288 escapes, and hex - unquoted, colon separated hex digits. Thanks to
289 Jay Ford, University of Iowa for bringing the issue to our attention.
29d1b58f 290 [ISC-Bugs #26378]
cc1bd34e 291
0b209ea5
SR
292! Add an option in site.h to limit the number of failover and control
293 connections the server will accept. By default this is 200.
294 [ISC-Bugs #41845]
670599ac 295 CVE: CVE-2016-2774

TM
301 Changes since 4.3.2
302
bc549dd9
SR
303- The server now does a better check to see if it can allocate the memory
304 for large blocks of v4 leases and should provide a slightly better error
305 message. Note well: the server pre-allocates v4 addresses, if you use
306 a large range, such as a /8, the server will attempt to use a large
307 amount of memory and may not start if there either isn't enough memory
308 or the size exceeds what the code supports.
309 [ISC-Bugs #38637]
310
b31fe1d5
TM
311- The server will now reject unicast Request, Renew, Decline, and Release
312 messages from a client unless the server would have sent that client the
313 dhcp6.unicast option. This behavior is in compliance with paragraph 1 in
314 each of the sections 18.2,1, 18.2.3, 18.2.6, and 18.2.7 of RFC 3315. Prior
315 to this, the server would simply accept the messages. Now, in order for
316 the server to accept such a message, the server configuration must include
317 the dhcp6.unicast option either globally or within the shared network to
318 which the requested lease belongs. In other words, the server will map
319 the first IA_XX address found within the client message to a shared-network
320 and look for the presence of the unicast option there and then globally.
ba21bb1b
TM
321 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for this issue and his patch which
322 inspired the fix.
b31fe1d5 323 [ISC-Bugs #21235]
c2419dca 324
20c0fdc7
SR
325- The ATF (Automated Testing Framework) tools used for optional unit tests
326 can now be built from its embedded sources in bind, solving the
327 atf-run / atf-report issue with recent (>= 0.20) versions of ATF.
328 The new configuration option is "./configure --with-atf=bind".
1b245c91 329 [ISC-Bugs #38754, #39300]
20c0fdc7 330
1c0b7d66
SR
331- Corrected a compilation error introduced by the fix for ISC-Bugs #22806.
332 On older linuxes that do not include the tpacket_auxdata structure don't
333 bother allocating the cmsgbuf as it isn't necessary and we don't have
334 a proper length for it.
335 [ISC-Bugs #39209]
336
da88d34b
SR
337- Remove the dst directory. This was replaced in 4.2.0 with the dst
338 code from the Bind libraries but we continued to include it for
339 backwards compatibility. As we have now released 4.3.x it seems
340 reasonable to remove it.
341 [ISC-Buts #39019]
342
90a062fb 343- Write out the DUID server id on startup in all cases, previously if it
cacce092 344 was read in from server-duid option in the config or lease files for
90a062fb
SR
345 DHCPv4 it would not be written to the new lease file.
346 [ISC-Bugs #37791]
347
90fdd337
SR
348- When parsing dates for leases convert dates past 2038 to "never".
349 This avoids problems with integer overflows in the date and time
350 handling code for people that decide to use very large lease times
351 or add a lease entry with a date far in the future.
352 [ISC-Bugs #33056]
353
70689a73
SR
354- Leave the siaddr field clear when sending a NACK as per RFC 2131
355 table 3.
356 [ISC-Bugs #38769]
357
30dcfbf6
SR
358- In the client don't send expired addresses to the script as part of
359 the binding process. Thanks to Sven Trenkel at Google for reporting
360 the issue and suggesting the patch.
361 [ISC-Bugs #38631]
362
4136513e
SR
363- While parsing IPv6 addresses treat "add" as part of the address instead
364 of as a token.
365 [ISC-Bugs #39529]
366
3933e2aa
SR
367- Add support for accessing the v4 lease queues (active, free etc) in a
368 binary fashion instead of needing to walk through a linear list to
369 insert, find or remove an entry from the queues. In addition add a
370 compile time option "--enable-binary-leases" to enable the new code
371 or to continue using the old code. The old code is the default.
372 Thanks to Fernando Soto from BlueCat Networks for the patch.
373 [ISC-Bugs #39078]
374
cca6a648 375- Delayed-ack now works properly with Failover. Prior to this, bind updates
376 post startup were being queued but never delivered. Among other things, this
377 was causing leases to not transition from expired or released to free.
378 [ISC-Bugs #31474]
379
46d31b51
SR
380- Clean up parsing of v6 lease files a bit to avoid infinite loops if the
381 lease file is corrupt in certain ways.
382 [ISC-Bugs #39760]
383
cca6a648 384- Corrected a crash in dhclient that occurs during lease renewal if the
68b3e7f2
TM
385 client is performing its own DNS updates. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat
386 for the bug report.
cca6a648 387 [ISC-Bugs #38639]
388
ff1b3d04
TM
389- Corrected an issue in v6 lease file parsing. Prior to this, when encountering
390 a lease with an address for which no configured pool exists, the server was
391 declaring the lease file corrupt and incorrectly skipping over the subsequent
392 entry in the file. The server will now emit a log message indicating that
393 no pool was found for the address (or prefix) and correctly resume parsing
cacce092 394 with the next entry in the lease file. Our thanks to Michal Žejdl for
673137b1 395 reporting the issue.
ff1b3d04
TM
396 [ISC-Bugs #39314]
397
34711bb7
SR
398- Be more liberal in finding a subnet group associated with a static
399 prefix. When we added the class matching code for v6 we also added
400 a requirement that the static prefix must be within a subnet the
401 client was in, in order to find the proper statements. We now
402 look for a subnet based on the prefix, failing that on the static
403 address for the client and failing that on the shared network
404 itself.
405 [ISC-Bugs #38329]
406
45c332f0
SR
407- Add a new action expression "parse_vendor_options", which can be used
408 to parse a vendor-encapsualted-option received by the server based on
409 the encoding specified by the vendor-option-space statement.
410 [ISC-Bugs #36449]
411
7a6c9368

479- Unit test execution now uses a path augmented during configuration
480 processing of the --with-atf option to locate ATF runtime tools, atf-run
481 and atf-report. For most installations of ATF, this should alleviate the
482 need to manually include them in the PATH, as was formerly required.
483 If the configure script cannot locate the tools it will emit a warning,
484 informing the user that the tools must be in the PATH when running unit
485 tests.
486 Secondly, please note that "make check" will now exit with a failure status
487 code (non-zero) if one or more unit tests fail. This means that invoking
488 "make check" from an upper level directory will cause the make process to
489 STOP after the first test subdirectory with failed test(s). To force all
490 tests in all subdirectories to run, regardless of individual test outcome,
491 use the command "make -k check".

d9b2a590
TM
588- By default, the server will now choose the value to use in the forward DNS
589 name from the following in order of preference:
590
591 1. FQDN option if provided by the client
592 2. Host name option if provided by the client
593 3. Configured option host-name if defined
594
595 As before, this may be overridden by defining ddns-hostname to the desired
596 value (or expression). In addition, the server logic has been extended to
597 use the value of the host name declaration if use-host-decl-names is enabled
598 and no other value is available.

610 components.
611 [ISC-Bugs #20558]

7116a34f
TM
613- Added the server-id-check parameter to the server configuration.
614 This parameter allows run-time control over whether or not a server,
615 participating in failover, verifies the dhcp-server-identifier option in
ebb1d91e 616 DHCP REQUESTs against the server's id before processing the request.
7116a34f
TM
617 Formerly, enabling this behavior was done at compilation time through
618 the use of the #define, SERVER_ID_CHECK, which has been removed from site.h
adb95d23 619 The functionality is now only available through the new runtime parameter.
7116a34f
TM
620 [ISC-Bugs #37551]
621
2775bd62
TM
622- During startup, when the server encounters a lease whose binding state is
623 FTS_BACKUP but whose pool has no configured failover peer, it will reset the
624 lease's binding state to FTS_FREE. This allows the leases to be reclaimed
625 by the server after a pool's configuration has changed from failover to
626 standalone. Prior to this such leases would remain stuck in the backup state
627 making them unavailable for assignment. Note this conversion will occur
628 whether or not the server is compiled for failover.

cb0d7e7c 658- Modified Linux packet handling such that packets received via VLAN are now
acbecb2e

659 seen only by the VLAN interface. Prior to this, such packets were seen by

668- Log content has been changed to more directly suggest that admins should
669 check for multiple IPv6 clients attempting to use the same DUID when only
670 abandoned addresses are available. Debug level logging will now emit counts
671 of the total number of, in-use, and abandoned addresses in a shared subnet
672 when the server finds no addresses available for a given DUID. Lastly,
673 threshold logging is now automatically disabled for shared subnets whose
674 total number of possible addresses exceeds (2^64)-1.

1a006ff6
TM
678- Added a global parameter, prefix-length-mode, which may be used to determine
679 how the server uses a non-zero value for prefix-length supplied by clients
680 when soliciting DHCPv6 prefixes. The server supports selection modes of:
681 ignore, prefer, exact, minimum and maximum which are described in detail in
682 the server man pages. The prior behavior of the server was to only offer a
683 prefix whose length exactly matched the prefix-length value requested. If
684 no such prefixes were available, the server returned a status of none
685 available. Note the default mode, "exact", provides this same behavior.

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

858
6980ae03 859 Changes since 4.2.0 (new features)
51b8a8a0
SR
860
861- If a client renews before 'dhcp-cache-threshold' percent of its lease
862 has elapsed (default 25%), the server will reuse the allocated lease
863 (provide a lease within the currently allocated lease-time) rather
864 than extend or renew the lease. This absolves the server of needing
865 to perform an fsync() operation on the lease database before reply,
866 which improves performance. [ISC-Bugs #22228]
80778e94 867 Updated this patch to support asynchronous DDNS. If the server is
adb95d23 868 attempting to do DDNS on a lease it should be updated and written to
4809ef5c 869 disk even if that wouldn't be necessary due to the thresholding.
8cd88e20 870 [ISC-Bugs #26311]
51b8a8a0 871
6980ae03
SR
872- The 'no available billing' log line now also logs the name of the last
873 matching billing class tried before failing to provide a billing.
874 [ISC-Bugs #21759]
875
32e651c4
SR
876- A problem with missing get_hw_addr function when --enable-use-sockets
877 was used is now solved on GNU/Linux, BSD and GNU/Hurd systems. Note
878 that use-sockets feature was not tested on those systems. Client and
879 server code no longer use MAX_PATH constant that is not defined on
3cb6f9bb 880 GNU/Hurd systems. [ISC-Bugs #25979]
32e651c4 881
67418698
SR
882- Add a perl script in the contrib directory, dhcp-lease-list.pl, which
883 can parse v4 lease files and output the lease information in a more
884 human friendly manner. This was written by Christian Hammers with
885 some updates by vom and ISC. This is contributed code and is not
886 supported by ISC; however it may be useful to some users.
887 [ISC-Bugs #20680]
888
a7341359 889- Add support in v6 for on-commit, on-expire and on-release.
4809ef5c 890 [ISC-Bugs #27912]
a7341359 891
01fa619f
SR
892- Add support for using classes with v6.
893 [ISC-Bugs #26510]
894
d7d9c0c7
SR
895- Update the DDNS code to current standards and allow for sharing
896 of DDNS entries between v4 and v6 clients. The new code is used
897 if the ddns-update-style is set to "standard", the older code is
898 still available if ddns-update-style is set to "interim". The
899 oldest DDNS code "ad-hoc" has been removed. Thanks to Thomas Pegeot
900 who submitted a patch for this issue. This patch is based on
901 that work with some modifications.
64fb661c 902 [ISC-Bugs #21139]
1534fff7 903
cde11a4c
SR
904- Add a configuration option to the server to suppress using fsync().
905 Enabling this option will mean that fsync() is never called. This
906 may provide better performance but there is also a risk that a lease
907 will not be properly written to the disk after it has been issued
908 to a client and before the server stops. Using this option is
909 not recommended.
64fb661c 910 [ISC-Bugs #34810]
cde11a4c 911
f88446f1
SR
912- Add some logging statements to indicate when the server is ready
913 to serve. One statement is emitted after the server has finished
914 reading its files and is about to enter the dispatch loop.
915 This is "Server starting service.".
916 The second is emitted when a server determines that both it and
917 its failover peer are in the normal state.
918 This is "failover peer <name>: Both servers normal."
64fb661c 919 [ISC-Bugs #33208]
f88446f1 920
619304cd
SR
921- Add support for accessing options from v6 relays. The v6relay
922 statement allows the administrator to choose which relay to
923 use when searching for an option, see the dhcp-options man page
6b9c9f87
SR
924 for a description. The host-identifier option has also been
925 updated to support the use of relay options, see the dhcpd.conf
619304cd
SR
926 man page for a description.
927 [ISC-Bugs #19598]
928
e54ff84f 929- When doing DDNS if there isn't an appropriate zone statement attempt
80778e94 930 to find a reasonable nameserver via a DNS resolver. This restores
e54ff84f
SR
931 some functionality that was lost in the transition to asynchronous
932 DDNS. Due to the lack of security and increase in fragility of the
933 system when using this feature we strongly recommend the use of
934 appropriate zone statements rather than using this functionality.
935 [ISC-Bugs #30461]
936
61ef216b
SR
937- Add support for specifying the address from which to send
938 DDNS updates on the DHCP server. There are two new options
939 "ddns-local-address4" and "ddns-local-address6" that each take
940 one instance of their respective address types.
941 [ISC-Bugs #34779]
4d079f0e 942
38ee81bd
SR
943- Add ignore-client-uids option in the server. This option causes
944 the server to not record a client's uid in its lease. This
945 violates the specification but may also be useful when a client
946 can dual boot using different client ids but the same mac address.
6b9c9f87 947 Thank you to Brian De Wolf at Cal Poly Pomona for the patch.

fe2ac9e3
SR

957 for a hardware address if there is no packet. This allows the
958 server to find the hardware address during on-expiry processing.

SR
972- Manpage entries for the ia-pd and ia-prefix options were updated to
973 reflect support for prefix delegation.
4889a646 974
01a44a77 975- Cleaned up some compiler warnings
7dc4e69c 976
01a44a77
SR
977- An optimization described in the failover protocol draft is now included,
978 which permits a DHCP server operating in communications-interrupted state
979 to 'rewind' a lease to the state most recently transmitted to its peer,
980 greatly increasing a server's endurance in communications-interrupted.
981 This is supported using a new 'rewind state' record on the dhcpd.leases
982 entry for each lease.
c5bc8b1a 983
01a44a77 984- Fix the trace code which was broken by the changes to the DDNS code.
d0a10f6a 985
01a44a77
SR
986- Update the fsync code to work with the changes to the DDNS code. It now
987 uses a timer instead of noticing if there are no more packets to process.
dc9d7b08 988
01a44a77
SR
989- When constructing the DNS name structure from a text string append
990 the root to relative names. This satisfies a requirement in the DNS
991 library that names be absolute instead of relative and prevents DHCP
992 from crashing. [ISC-Bugs #21054]
a24b9f23 993
01a44a77
SR
994- "The LDAP Patch" that has been circulating for some time, written by
995 Brian Masney and S.Kalyanasundraram and maintained for application to
996 the DHCP-4 sources by David Cantrell has been included. Please be
997 advised that these sources were contributed, and do not yet meet the
998 high standards we place on production sources we include by default.
999 As a result, the LDAP features are only included by using a compile-time
1000 option which defaults off, and if you enable it you do so under your
1001 own recognizance. We will be improving this software over time.

01a44a77
SR
1007! Accept a client id of length 0 while hashing. Previously the server would
1008 exit if it attempted to hash a zero length client id, providing attackers
1009 with a simple denial of service attack. [ISC-Bugs #21253]

08b2d347 1013
01a44a77
SR
1014- Modify the exception handling for initial context creation. Previously
1015 we would try and clean up before exiting. This could present problems
1016 when the cleanup required part of the context that wasn't available. It
1017 also didn't do much as we exited afterwards anyway. Now we simply log
1018 the error and exit. [ISC-Bugs #21093]
ad4001ce 1019
01a44a77
SR
1020- A bug was fixed that could cause the DHCPv6 server to advertise/assign a
1021 previously allocated (active) lease to a client that has changed subnets,
1022 despite being on different shared networks. Dynamic prefixes specifically
1023 allocated in shared networks also now are not offered if the client has
1024 moved. [ISC-Bugs #21152]
3cb6f9bb 1025

1029 before using instead of overwriting it. [ISC-Bugs #20969]
4b8251a0 1030
01a44a77
SR
1031- Modify the determination of the default TTL to use for DDNS updates.
1032 The user may still configure the ttl via ddns-ttl. The default for
1033 both v4 and v6 is now 1/2 the (preferred) lease time with a limit. The
1034 previous defaults (1/2 lease time without a limit for v4 and a default
1035 value for v6) may be used by defining USE_OLD_DDNS_TTL in site.h

1238- 'dhclient' no longer waits a random interval after first starting up to
1239 begin in the INIT state. This conforms to RFC 2131, but elects not to
9a111ee8 1240 implement a 'SHOULD' direction in section 4.1. The goal of this change

1249- ICMP ping-check should now sit closer to precisely the number of seconds
1250 configured (or default 1), due to making use of the new microsecond
1251 scale timer internally to dhcpd. This corrects a bug where the server

1256 microseconds if the DHCP server provided a lease-time that would result
1257 in sub-1-second timers. This corrects a bug where a 2-second or lower
1258 lease-time would cause the DHCP client to enter an infinite loop by
73c83820 1259 scheduling renewal at zero seconds. [ISC-Bugs #19660]

1265- To defend against RFC 2131 non-compliant DHCP servers which fail to
1266 advertise a lease-time (either mangled, or zero in value) the DHCP
1267 client now adds the server to the reject list ACL and returns to INIT

1503! Previously the server code was relaxed to allow packets with zero
1504 length client ids to be processed. Under some situations use of
1505 zero length client ids can cause the server to go into an infinite
1506 loop. As such ids are not valid according to RFC 2132 section 9.14
1507 the server no longer accepts them. Client ids with a length of 1
1508 are also invalid but the server still accepts them in order to
1509 minimize disruption. The restriction will likely be tightened in
1510 the future to disallow ids with a length of 1.

1563 the secs field and if it looks wrong (high byte non zero and low
1564 byte zero) swap the bytes. The default is disabled. This option
1565 is only useful when doing load balancing within failover.

DH
1686- A new failover configuration parameter has been introduced for those
1687 environments where DHCP servers can be reasonably guaranteed to be
1688 "down" when the failover TCP socket is severed, "auto-partner-down".
1689 This parameter is not generally safe, and by default is disabled, so
1690 please carefully review the documentation of this parameter in the
1691 dhcpd.conf(5) manpage before determining to use it yourself.
1692
33ea4622
DH
1693- Added a configuration function, 'gethostname()', which calls the system
1694 function of the same name and presents the results as a data expression.
1695 This function can be used to incorporate the system level hostname of
1696 the system the DHCP software is operating on in responses or queries (such
1697 as including a failover partner's hostname in a dhcp message or binding
1698 scope, or having a DHCP client send any system hostname in the host-name or
1699 FQDN options by default).

DH
1701- The dhcp-renewal-time and dhcp-rebinding-time options may now be configured
1702 for DHCPv4 operation and used independently of the dhcp-lease-time
1703 calculations. Invalid renew and rebinding times (e.g., greater than the
1704 determined lease time) are omitted.
1705
adb95d23 1706- Processing the DHCP to DNS server transactions in an asynchronous fashion,
45adf35c 1707 the DHCP server or client can now continue with its processing while
98bf1607 1708 awaiting replies from the DNS server.

DH
1720- The notorious 'option <unknown> ... larger than buffer' log line,
1721 which is seen in some malformed DHCP client packets, was modified.
1722 It now logs the universe name, and does not log the length values
1723 (which are bogus corruption read from the packet anyway). It also
1724 carries a hopefully more useful explanation.

1750 result in an erroneous error log message ('garbage in format string').
1751
f9453d21
DH
1752- A bug in DLPI packet transmission (Solaris, HP/UX) that caused the server
1753 to stop receiving packets is fixed. The same fix also means that the MAC
1754 address will no longer appear 'bogus' on DLPI-based systems.
1755
1756- A bug in select handling was discovered where the results of one select()
1757 call were discarded, causing the server to process the next select() call
1758 and use more system calls than required. This has been repaired - the
1759 sockets will be handled after the first return from select(), resulting in
1760 fewer system calls.
1761
a3dcc0b1
DH
1762- The update-conflict-detection feature would leave an FQDN updated without
1763 a DHCID (still currently implemented as a TXT RR). This would cause later
1764 expiration or release events to fail to remove the domain name. The feature
1765 now also inserts the client's up to date DHCID record, so records may safely
1766 be removed at expiration or release time. Thanks to a patch submitted by
1767 Christof Chen.
1768
95fd7038
DH
1769- Memory leak in the load_balance_mine() function is fixed. This would
1770 leak ~20-30 octets per DHCPDISCOVER packet while failover was in use
1771 and in normal state.

PS
1776- Fixed Linux client script 'unary operator expected' errors with DHCPv6.

1785- Compilation on Solaris with USE_SOCKETS defined in includes/site.h has
1786 been repaired. Other USE_ overrides should work better.

1788- A check for the local flavor of IFNAMSIZ had a broken 'else' condition,
1789 that probably still resulted in the correct behaviour (but wouldn't use
1790 a larger defined value provided by the host OS).
1791

DH
1792- Fixed a bug where an OMAPI socket disconnection message would not result
1793 in scheduling a failover reconnection, if the link had not negotiated a
1794 failover connect yet (e.g.: connection refused, asynch socket connect()
1795 timeouts).

1800! A stack overflow vulnerability was fixed in dhclient that could allow
1801 remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands as root on the system,

DH
1819- Secondary servers in a failover pair will now perform ddns removals if
1820 they had performed ddns updates on a lease that is expiring, or was
1821 released through the primary. As part of the same fix, stale binding scopes
1822 will now be removed if a change in identity of a lease's active client is
1823 detected, rather than simply if a lease is noticed to have expired (which it
1824 may have expired without a failover server noticing in some situations).
1825
583c1c16
DH
1826- A patch supplied by David Cantrell at RedHat was applied that detects
1827 invalid calling parameters given to the ns_name_ntop() function.
1828 Specifically, it detects if the caller passed a pointer and size pair
1829 that causes the pointer to integer-wrap past zero.
1830

1835 the existence of the linked signal handler before calling it.
1836
2267da84
DH
1837- Both host and subnet6 configuration groups are now included whether a
1838 fixed-address6 (DHCPv6) is in use or not. Host scoped configuration takes
1839 precedence. This fixes two bugs, one where host scoped configuration
1840 would not be included from a non-fixed-address6 host record, and the equal
1841 and opposite bug where subnet6 scoped configuration would not be used when
571c38b0 1842 over-riding values were not present in a matching fixed-address6 host
2267da84

1845- ./configure now checks to ensure the intX_t and u_intX_t types are defined,
1846 correcting a compilation failure when using Sun's compiler.
1847
0493fdca
SR
1848- Modified the handling of a connection to avoid releasing the omapi io
1849 object for the connection while it is still in use. One symptom from
1850 this error was a segfault when a failover secondary attempted to connect
1851 to the failover primary if their clocks were not synchronized.
1852
95bba8b6
SR
1853- Clean up to allow compilation with gcc 2.95.4 on FreeBSD. Remove an
1854 extra semi-colon from common/dns.c and moved setting a variable to NULL
1855 in server/dhcpv6.c to allow the compiler to decide that the variable
9a111ee8 1856 was always properly set.

1885 in future releases.

1894 the client has been deprived of all A and AAAA records (not only the last

1959- Fix handling of -A and -a flags in dhcrelay; it was failing to expand
1960 packet size as needed to add relay agent options.

7d6180be
DH
1962- A bug in subnet6 parsing where options contained in subnet6 clauses would
1963 not be applied to clients addressed within that network was repaired.
1964
1965- When configuring a "subnet {}" or "subnet6 {}" without an explicit
1966 shared-network enclosing it, the DHCP software would synthesize a
1967 shared-network to contain the subnet. However, all configuration
1968 parameters within the subnet more intuitively belong "to any client
1969 on that interface", or rather the synthesized shared-network. So,
1970 when a shared-network is synthesized, it is used to contain the
1971 configuration present inside the subnet {} clause. This means that
1972 the configuration will be valid for all clients on that network, not
1973 just those addressed out of the stated subnet. If you intended the
1974 opposite, the workaround is to explicitly configure an empty
1975 shared-network.
1976
1977- A bug was fixed where Information-Request processing was not sourcing
1978 configured option values.
1979
1980- A warning was added since the DHCPv6 processing software does not yet
1981 support class statements.

adb95d23 1983- Compilation warnings on GCC 4.3 relating to bootp source address
dd484ced
DH
1984 selection were repaired.

ecddae64
DH
1986- The v6 BSD socket method was updated to use a single UDP BSD socket
1987 no matter how many interfaces are involved, differentiating the
1988 interfaces the packets were received on by the interface index supplied
1989 by the OS.
1990
1991- The relay agent no longer listens to the All DHCP Servers Multicast
1992 address.

1994- A bug was fixed in data_string_sprintfa() where va_start was only called
1995 once for two invocations of vsprintf() variants.

4cafb815 2008- Added explicit parser support for zero-length DHCP options, such as
6d7f9584 2009 rapid-commit, via format code 'Z'.
4cafb815 2010

EH
2011- It's now possible to update the "ends" field of a lease with OMAPI.
2012 This is useful if you want not only to release a lease, but also make
2013 it available for reuse right away. Hat tip to Christof Chen.
2014
9a111ee8 2015- Fixed definition of the iaaddr hash functions to use the correct
1dcc3612
SK
2016 functions when referencing and dereferencing memory.

2018- Some definitions not in phase with the IANA registry were updated.
2019

2020- Allocated interface IDs are better controlled ('u' bit set to zero,
2021 reserved IDs avoided).

2023- Unicast options are taken into account only for RENEWs.
2024
900405e9

2025- NoAddrsAvail answers to SOLICITs are always ADVERTISEs even when a SOLICIT
2026 carries a rapid-commit option.
2027
96b620e5

2028- Return in place of raise an impossible condition when one tries to release
2029 an empty active lease.

2031- Timer granularity is now 1/100s in the DHCPv6 client.
2032
01a54c17
EH
2033- The dhclient-script was updated to create a host route for the default
2034 gateway if the supplied subnet mask for an IPv4 address was a /32. This
2035 allows the client to work in 'captive' network environments, where the
2036 operator does not want clients to crosstalk directly.
2037
adb95d23 2038- MINUS tokens should be parsable again.
01a54c17
EH
2039
2040- Multiple (up to "delayed-ack x;" maximum) DHCPv4 packets are now queued and
2041 released in bursts after single fsync() events when the upper limit is
2042 reached or if the receiving sockets go dry. The practical upshot is
2043 that fsync-coupled server performance is now multiplicitively increased.
2044 The default delayed ack limit is 28. Thanks entirely to a patch from
2045 Christof Chen.
2046
2047 Changes since 4.0.0 (bug fixes)
2048

2057 be more helpful.
2058
2059- The warning logged when an address range doesn't fit in the subnets
2060 they were declared has been updated to be more helpful and identify the
2061 typo in configuration that created the spanning addresses.
2062
2063- A bug in failover pool rebalancing that caused POOLREQ message ping-pongs
2064 was repaired.
2065
2066- A flaw in failover pool rebalancing that could cause POOLREQ messages to
2067 be sent outside of the min-balance/max-balance scheduled intervals has
2068 been repaired.
2069
2070- A cosmetic bug during potential-conflict recovery that caused the peer's
2071 'conflict-done' state message to be logged as 'unknown-state' has been
2072 repaired. It is now logged correctly.
2073
49f61135
DH
2074- A bug was fixed where the 'giaddr' may be used to find the client's subnet
2075 rather than its own 'ciaddr'.

41d4652f
DH
2077- A log message was introduced to clarify the situation where a failover
2078 'address' parameter (the server's local address) did not resolve to an
2079 IPv4 address.
2080
2c9bf1f4
DH
2081- The minimum site code value was set to 224 in 3.1.0 to track RFC3942. This
2082 broke a lot of legacy site local configurations. The new code in place will
2083 track site local space minimum option codes and logs a warning to encourage
2084 updates and exploration of site local code migration problems. Option
2085 codes less than 128 in site local spaces remain inaccessible.
2086
2087- A possible relay agent option bug was repaired where random server
2088 initialization state may have been used to signal the relay agent
2089 information options sub-option code for the 'END' of the option space.
2090
cff9b78f
SK
2091- Fixes to allow code to compile and run on Solaris 9.

c4d29896
SK
2093- Fixes to allow code to compile on Mac OS X Leopard (10.5).
2094
57fcb8d9
SK
2095- When server is configured with options that it overrides, a warning is
2096 issued when the configuration file is read, rather than at the time the
2097 option is overridden. This was important, because the warning was given
9a111ee8 2098 every time the option was overridden, which could create a lot of
57fcb8d9
SK
2099 unnecessary logging.
2100
219a65eb
DH
2101- Fixed a compilation problems on platforms that define a value for FDDI,
2102 which conflicts with a dhcp configuration syntax token by the same name.
2103
ffdf3c8c
DH
2104- When a failover server suspects it has encountered a peer running a
2105 version 3.0.x failover server, a warning that the failover wire protocol
2106 is incompatible is printed.

2108- The failover server no longer issues a floating point error if it encounters
2109 a previously undefined option code.

2111- Fix startup error messages to report a missing "subnet6 declaration", rather
2112 than a missing "subnet declaration", when running as a DHCPv6 server.
2113
9a111ee8 2114- DHCPv6 client timestamp in DUID was based on the year 1970 rather
7e9f7a1b

2126 use ip6.arpa. rather than default to in-addr.arpa and require user
2127 configuration.
76db44f9 2128
e32529a5
EH
2129- dhc6_lease_destroy() and dhc6_ia_destroy() now set lease and IA pointers
2130 to NULL after freeing, to prevent subsequent accesses to freed memory.
2131
9a111ee8 2132- The DHCPv6 server would not send the preference option unless the
76db44f9
SK
2133 client requested it, via the ORO. This has been fixed, so the DHCPv6
2134 server will always send the preference value if it is configured.
e4a6be15 2135
9a111ee8
TM
2136- When addresses were passed as hints to the server in an IA, they were
2137 incorrectly handled, sometimes being treated as an error. Now the
6f76de58
SK
2138 server will treat these as hints and ignore them if it cannot supply
2139 a requested address.
2140
703873ab
DH
2141- If the client had multiple addresses, and one expired (was not renewed
2142 by the server), the client would continue to attempt to renew the same
2143 old address over and over. Now, the client will omit any expired
2144 addresses from future Confirm, Renew, or Rebind messages.
2145
2146- dhclient -6 will now select renew/rebind timers based upon the longest
2147 address expiration time rather than the shortest expiration time, in
2148 order to avoid cascading renewals in the event a server elects not to
2149 extend one of multiple IAADDR leases.
2150
b024480e
DH
2151- The server now limits clients that request multiple addresses to one
2152 address per IA by default, which can be adjusted through the
2153 "limit-addrs-per-ia" configuration option.
2154
c0216cb7
DH
2155- The DHCPv6 client now issues fresh transaction IDs on Renew and Rebind
2156 message exchanges, rather than using the most recent ID.

2164 the success DHCPv6 status-code, was fixed.

2167 seemingly random values.

f8b3c6f4
DH
2171- ./configure now autodetects local database locations rather than trying
2172 to put dhcpd.leases and dhclient.leases in /usr/local/var/db, which no
2173 one ever has.
2174
9a111ee8
TM
2175- Regression fix for bug where server advertised a IPv6 address in
2176 response to a SOLICIT but would not return the address in response
b9137d42

2180 code in the IA_NA was fixed. The status code now appears in the root
2181 level.

EH
2185- Clarified error message when lease limit exceeded
2186
b1d3778c
DH
2187- Relative time may now be used as a qualifier for 'allow' and 'deny' access
2188 control lists. These directives may be used to assist in re-addressing
2189 address pools without having to constantly reconfigure the server. Please
2190 see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more information on allow/deny 'after time' syntax.
2191 Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen.

bead14ea
DH
2193- The server will now include multiple IA_NA's and multiple IAADDRs within
2194 them, if advertised by the client. It still only seeks to allocate one
2195 new address.

f765ec36
SK
2197 Changes since 4.0.0b1
2198
75135a3f 2199- Use different paths for PID and lease files when running in DHCPv4
adb95d23 2200 or DHCPv6 mode, so that servers for both protocols can be run
75135a3f
EH
2201 simultaneously on a single interface.
2202
5c2d55c7
EH
2203- Fixed a buffer overflow error which could have allowed a denial
2204 of service under unusual server configurations
2205
2206- Eliminated a spurious error message from the client
2207
9a111ee8 2208- A number of bugs with the internal handling of lease state on the
f765ec36 2209 server have been fixed. Some of these could cause server crashes.
fa9b593d 2210
edb1283e
DH
2211- The peer_wants_leases() changes pulled up from 3.1.0 were corrected,
2212 'never used' leases will no longer consistently shift between servers
2213 on every pool rebalance run.

2215- sendmsg()/recvmsg() control buffers are now declared in such a way to
2216 ensure they are correctly aligned on all (esp. 64-bit) architectures.

9a111ee8 2223- The DHCP server no longer requires a "ddns-update-style" statement,
884a458f
SK
2224 and now defaults to "none", which means DNS updates are disabled.

fa9b593d
DH
2226- Log messages when failover peer names mismatch have been improved to
2227 point out the problem.

9a111ee8 2229- Bug where server advertised a IPv6 address in response to a SOLICIT
1b5053b5

2234 reported independently by Jothilingam Vasu and Dennis Kou.
2235
eaf7eb17
DH
2236- Fixed a ./configure bug where compile tests were failing due to
2237 "-Werror" (unused variable) rather than the actual test failure. Lead
2238 to inconsistent and unworkable auto-configurations.

109e00db
DH

9a111ee8 2242- Error in decoding IA_NA option if multiple interfaces are present
3ad9d48f
SK
2243 fixed by Marcus Goller.

8eab95f2
DH
2245- DHCPv6 server Confirm message processing has been enhanced - it no
2246 longer replies only to clients with host {} records, it now replies
2247 as directed in RFC3315 section 18.2.2 - that is, to all clients
2248 regardless of the existence of bindings.

DH
2250- A core dump during expired lease cleanup has been repaired.
2251
7285af30
DH
2252- DDNS updates state information are now stored in 'binding scopes' that
2253 follow the leases through their lifecycles. This enables DDNS teardowns
2254 on leases that are assigned and expired inbetween a server restart (the
2255 state is recovered from dhcpd.leases). Arbitrary user-specified binding
2256 scopes ('set var = "value";') are not yet supported.

2281 the DHCPv6 client configuration. 'send dhcp6.oro' is no longer
2282 necessary.

a512d11b 2350
4ba58919
DH
2351- DHCPv4 I/O methods that failed to sense hardware address were corrected.

2353- DHCPv4 is now the default (as documented) rather than DHCPv6. The default
2354 was set to DHCPv6 to facilitate ease early development, and forgotten.
2355
2356- Corrected a segmentation violation in DHCPv4 socket processing.

2382- Server support for the DHCPv6 Information-request message.
2383
2384- Inappropriate unicast DHCPv6 messages sent to the server are now
2385 discarded, and this has rearchitected the IO system slightly.
2386
2387- The DHCPv6 server DUID defaults to type 1, is persistently stored in
2388 the leases database, and can be over-ridden (either completely, or by
2389 specifying type 1 or type 2).
2390
2391- The server only uses Rapid-Commit if it has been configured with the
2392 Rapid-Commit option and the client requests it.
2393
2394- DDNS support. We now update AAAA records in the same place we would
2395 update A records, if we have an IPv6 address. We also generate IP6.ARPA
2396 style names for PTR records if we're dealing with an IPv6 address. Both
2397 A and AAAA updates are done using the same 'fqdn.' virtual option space
2398 (although the DHCPv4 FQDN and DHCPv6 FQDN options are formatted
2399 differently, they both use the same code here).
2400
2401- The Linux dhclient-script attempts to set and remove assigned addresses,
2402 and to configure /etc/resolv.conf from nameserver and domain name
2403 configurations. It can be extended to configure other parameters.
2404
2405- Initial DHCPv6 lease support.
2406
2407- The IO system now tracks all local IP addresses, so that the DHCP
2408 applications (particularly the dhcrelay) can discern between what frames
2409 were transmitted to it, and what frames are being carried through it which
2410 it should not intercept.
2411
1418fd11
DH
2412 Changes since 3.1.0 (Maintenance)
2413
2414- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for virgin leases always
2415 mapped to the primary. Virgin leases now have an interleaved preference
2416 between primary and secondary.
2417
2418- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for clients with no client
2419 identifier was sometimes mishashed to the peer. Load balancing during
2420 runtime and pool rebalancing were opposing.
2421
aa3e348e
DH
2422- An assertion in lease counting relating to reserved leases was repaired.
2423
e9c59645
DH
2424- The subnet-mask option inclusion now conforms with RFC2132 section 3.3;
2425 it will only appear prior to the routers option if it is present on the
2426 Parameter-Request-List. The subnet-mask option will also only be
2427 included by default (if it is not on the PRL) in response to DISCOVER
2428 or REQUEST messages.
2429
2430- The FQDN option is only supplied if the client supplied an FQDN option or
2431 if the FQDN option was explicitly requested on the PRL.
2432
c104546d
DH
2433- Dynamic BOOTP leases are now load balanced in failover.
2434
b9d0cc05
DH
2435 Changes since 3.1.0rc1
2436
adb95d23 2437- The parse warning that 'deny dynamic bootp;' must be configured for
b9d0cc05
DH
2438 failover protected subnets was removed.
2439
a512cc3a
DH
2440 Changes since 3.1.0b2
2441
2442- Failover rebalance events no longer play ping pong with round errors
2443 (moving leases between free and back to backup where there are an
2444 odd number of leases).
2445
2446- The 'pool' log line has been split into two messages, one before the
2447 rebalance run, and one after.
2448
2449- Any queued BNDACKs are transmitted before transmitting new BNDUPDs.
2450 This enforces the correct sequence of events for the remote server
2451 processing these messages.
2452
fe5b0fdd 2453 Changes since 3.1.0b1
27837f95 2454
74dc3e0b
EH
2455- Fixed a bug that caused OMAPI clients to freeze when opening lease
2456 objects.
2457
1ba87b37
EH
2458- A new server config option "fqdn-reply" specifies whether the server
2459 should send out option 81 (FQDN). Defaults to "on". If set to "off",
2460 the FQDN option is not sent, even if the client requested it. This is
2461 needed because some clients misbehave otherwise. Thanks to Christof Chen
2462 at Allianz.
2463
a58da042
EH
2464- Allow trace output files (-tf option) to be overwritten, rather than
2465 crashing dhcpd if the file already exists
2466
61252edf
EH
2467- A bug was fixed that caused dhcpd to segfault if a pool was declared
2468 outside the scope of a subnet in dhcpd.conf.
2469
27837f95
DH
2470- Some uninitialized values were repaired in dhcpleasequery.c that
2471 caused the server to abort.
2472
4d2eaafb
DH
2473- A new server config option, 'do-reverse-updates', has been added
2474 which causes the server to abstain from performing updates on PTR
2475 records. Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen at Allianz.
2476
06211b40
DH
2477- A bug was repaired in subencapsulation support, where spaces separated
2478 by empty spaces would not get included.
2479
d6614ea2
DH
2480- A bug in dhclient was repaired which caused it to send parameter request
2481 lists of 55 bytes in length no matter how long the declared PRL was.
2482
132d38f2
DH
2483- 'dhcp.c(3953): non-null pointer' has been repaired. This fixes a flaw
2484 wherein the DHCPv4 server may ignore a configured server-identifier.
2485
fc3b9c90
DH
2486- A flaw in failover startup sequences was repaired that sometimes left
2487 the primary DHCP server's pool rebalance schedules unscheduled.
2488
c9feb859
DH
2489- Corrected a flaw that broke encapsulated spaces included due to presence
2490 on the parameter request list.
2491
c57db45c
SK
2492 Changes since 3.1.0a3
2493
2494- Some spelling fixes.
98311e4b 2495
bd2bc2fa
DH
2496 Changes since 3.1.0a2
2497
2498- A bug was fixed where attempting to permit leasequeries results in a
2499 fatal internal error, "Unable to find server option 49".
2500
85edef5c
DH
2501- A bug was fixed in dhclient rendering the textual output form of the
2502 domain-search option syntax.
2503
bdddcb7d
DH
2504 Changes since 3.1.0a1
2505
2506- A bug in the FQDN universe that added FQDN codes to the NWIP universe's
2507 hash table was repaired.
2508
616d67cb
DH
2509- The servers now try harder to transmit pending binding updates when
2510 entering normal state.
2511
2512- UPDREQ/UPDREQALL handling was optimized - it no longer dequeues and
2513 requeues all pending updates. This should reduce the number of spurious
66c8f734
DH
2514 'xid mismatch' log messages.
2515
2516- An option definition referencing leak was fixed, which resulted in early
2517 termination of dhclient upon the renewal event.
616d67cb 2518
6708d944
DH
2519- Some default hash table sizes were tweaked, some upwards, some downwards.
2520 3.1.0a1's tables resulted in a reduction in default server memory use.
2521 The new selected values provide more of a zero sum (increasing the size
2522 of tables likely to be populated, decreasing the size of tables unlikely).
2523
45d545f0 2524- Lease structures appear in three separate hashes: by IP address, by UID,
6708d944
DH
2525 and by hardware address. One type of table was used for all three, and
2526 improvements to IP address hashing were applied to all three (so UID and
2527 hardware addresses were treated like 4-byte integers). There are now two
2528 types of tables, and the uid/hw hashes use functions more appropriate
2529 to their needs.
2530
2531- The max-lease-misbalance percentage no longer causes scheduled rebalance
2532 runs to be skipped: it still governs the schedule, but every scheduled
2533 run will attempt balance.
2534
a7ee93fe
DH
2535- A segfault bug in recursive encapsulation support has been corrected.
2536
98311e4b
DH
2537 Changes since 3.0 (New Features)
2538
2539- A workaround for certain STSN servers that send a mangled domain-name
2540 option was introduced for dhclient. The client will now accept corrupted
2541 server responses, if they contain a valid DHCP_MESSAGE_TYPE (OFFER, ACK,
2542 or NAK). The server will continue to not accept corrupt client packets.
2543
98bd7ca0 2544- Support for 'reserved' (pseudo-static) and BOOTP leases via failover
a55ccdd0 2545 was introduced.
98311e4b
DH
2546
2547- Support for adding, removing, and managing class and subclass statements
2548 via OMAPI.
2549
a55ccdd0
DH
2550- The failover implementation was updated to comply with revision 12 of
2551 the protocol draft.
2552
98311e4b
DH
2553- 'make install' now creates the initial zero-length dhcpd.leases file if
2554 one does not already exist on the system.
2555
b43c87ad 2556- RFC3942 compliance, site-local option spaces start at 224 now, not 128.
b43c87ad 2557
0b17f049
DH
2558- The Load Balance Algorithm was misimplemented. The current implementation
2559 matches RFC 3074.
2560
2727c1cf
DH
2561- lcase() and ucase() configuration expressions have been added which adjust
2562 their arguments from upper to lower and lower to upper cases respectively.
2714a8ef 2563 Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
2727c1cf 2564
febbd402
DH
2565- The dhclient 'reject ...;' statement, which rejects leases given by named
2566 server-identifiers, now permits address ranges to be specified in CIDR
7d7073e7 2567 notation. Thanks to a patch from David Boyce.
febbd402 2568
ee912528
DH
2569- The subnet-mask option is now supplied by default, but at lowest
2570 priority. This helps a small minority of clients that provide parameter
2571 request lists, but do not list the subnet-mask option because they were
2572 designed to interoperate with a server that behaves in this manner.
2573
2574- The FQDN option is similarly supplied even if it does not appear on the
2575 parameter request list, but not to the exclusion of options that do
2576 appear at the parameter request list. Up until now it had ultimate
2577 priority over the client's parameter request list.
2578
f7fdb216 2579- Varying option space code and length bit widths (8/16/32) are now
51202707 2580 supported. This is a milestone in achieving RFC 3925 "VIVSO" and
f7fdb216
DH
2581 DHCPv6 support.
2582
5e864416
DH
2583- A new common (server or client) option, 'db-time-format local;', has
2584 been added which prints the local time in /var/db/dhcpd.leases rather
2585 than UTC. Thanks to a patch from Ken Lalonde.
2586
b500bd4c
DH
2587- Some patches to improve DHCP Server startup speed from Andrew Matheson
2588 have been incorporated.
2589
2426234f
DH
2590- Failover pairs now implement 'MAC Affinity' on leases moving from the
2591 active to free states. Leases that belonged to the failover secondary
2592 are moved to BACKUP state rather than FREE upon exiting EXPIRED state.
2593 If lease rebalancing must move leases, it tries first to move leases
2594 that belong to the peer in need.
2595
2596- The server no longer sends POOLREQ messages unless the pool is severely
2597 misbalanced in the peer's favor (see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more details).
2598
2599- Pool rebalance events no longer happen upon successfully allocating a
2600 lease. Instead, they happen on a schedule. See 'man dhcpd.conf' for the
2601 min-balance and max-balance statements for more information.
2602
334bf491
DH
2603- The DHCP Relay Agent Information Option / Link Selection Sub-Option
2604 is now supported. (See RFC3527 for details).
2605
3004bebf
DH
2606- A new DDNS related server option, update-conflict-detection, has been
2607 added. If this option is enabled, dhcpd will perform normal DHCID
2608 conflict resolution (the default). If this option is disabled, it will
2609 instead trust the assigned name implicitly (removing any other bindings
2610 on that name). This option has not been made available in dhclient.
2611
567e8561
DH
2612- In those cases where the DHCP software manufactures an IP header (to
2613 transmit via bpf, lpf, etc), the IP TTL the software selects has been
2614 increased from 16 to 128. This is intended to match Microsoft Windows
2615 DHCP Client behaviour, to increase compatibility.
2616
a396d25f
DH
2617- 'ignore client-updates;' now has behaviour that is different from
2618 'deny client-updates;'. The client's request is not truly ignored,
2619 rather it is encouraged. Should this value be configured, the server
2620 updates DNS as though client-updates were set to 'deny'. That is, it
2621 enters into DNS whatever it is configured to do already, provided it is
2622 configured to. Then it sends a response to the client that lets the
2623 client believe it is performing client updates (which it will), probably
2624 for a different name. In essence, this lets the client do as it will,
2625 ignoring this aspect of their request.
2626
dba5803b
DH
2627- Support for compressed 'domain name list' style DHCP option contents, and
2628 in particular the domain search option (#119) was added.
2629
41e45067 2630- The DHCP LEASEQUERY protocol as defined in RFC4388 is now implemented.
6d103865
SK
2631 LEASEQUERY lets you query the DHCP server for information about a lease,
2632 using either an IP address, MAC address, or client identifier. Thanks
2633 to a patch from Justin Haddad.
2634
41e45067
DH
2635- DHCPD is now RFC2131 section 4.1 compliant (broadcast to all-ones ip and
2636 ethernet mac address) on the SCO platform specifically without any strange
2637 ifconfig hacks. Many thanks go to the Kroger Co. for donating the
2638 hardware and funding the development.
6d103865 2639
b543fea9
DH
2640- A new common configuration executable statement, execute(), has been
2641 added. This permits dhcpd or dhclient to execute a named external
2642 program with command line arguments specified from other configuration
2643 language. Thanks to a patch written by Mattias Ronnblom, gotten to us
2644 via Robin Breathe.
2645
b22de500
DH
2646- A new dhcp server option 'adaptive-lease-time-threshold' has been added
2647 which causes the server to substantially reduce lease-times if there are
2648 few (configured percentage) remaining leases. Thanks to a patch submitted
2649 from Christof Chen.
2650
96bbe8c5
SK
2651- Encapsulated option spaces within encapsulated option spaces is now
2652 formally supported.
2653
b8221d95
DH
2654 Changes since 3.0.6rc1
2655
2656- supersede_lease() now requeues leases in their respective hardware
2657 address hash bucket. This mirrors client identifier behaviour.
2658
c1e6c832
DH
2659 Changes since 3.0.5
2660
f546c28b
DH
2661- Assorted fixes for broken network devices: Packet length is now
2662 determined from the IP header length field to finally calculate the
2663 UDP payload length, because some NIC drivers return more data than
5a22eb63 2664 they actually received.
f546c28b
DH
2665
2666- UDP packets are now stored in aligned data structures.
2667
c1e6c832
DH
2668- A logic error in omapi interface code was repaired that might result in
2669 incorrectly indicating 'up' state when any flags were set, rather than
23e10d37
DH
2670 specifically the INTERFACE_REQUESTED flag. Thanks to a patch from
2671 Jochen Voss which got to us via Andrew Pollock at Debian.
c1e6c832 2672
75ab3070
DH
2673- A reference leak on binding scopes set by ddns updates was repaired.
2674
d69fb6a8 2675- A memory leak in the minires_nsendsigned() function call was repaired.
23e10d37 2676 Effectively, this leaked ~176 bytes per DDNS update.
d69fb6a8 2677
02428754
DH
2678- In the case where an "L2" DHCP Relay Agent (one that does not set giaddr)
2679 was directly attached to the same broadcast domain as the DHCP server,
2680 the RFC3046 relay agent information option was not being returned to the
2681 relay in the server's replies. This was fixed; the dhcp server no longer
2682 requires the giaddr to reply with relay agent information. Note that
2683 this also improves compatibility with L2 devices that "intercept" DHCP
2684 packets and expect relay agent information even in unicast (renewal)
23e10d37
DH
2685 replies. Thanks to a patch from Pekka Silvonen.
2686
2687- A bug was fixed where the BOOTP header 'sname' field had a value, the
2688 copy written to persistent storage was actually the contents of the
2689 'file' field.
02428754 2690
ecde99a3
DH
2691- A bug was fixed where the nwip virtual option space was referencing
2692 the fqdn option's virtual option space's option cache.
2693
67674ffb
DH
2694- Timestamp parsing errors that indicated missing "minutes" fields rather
2695 than the actually missing "seconds" fields have been repaired thanks to
2696 a patch from Kevin Steves.
2697
830ebc4c
DH
2698- A grammar error in the dhclient.8 manpage was repaired thanks to a patch
2699 from Chris Wagner.
2700
c759db75
DH
2701- Several spelling typos were repaired, and some cross-references to other
2702 relevant documents were included in the manpages, thanks to a patch
2703 by Andrew Pollock which got to us via Tomas Pospisek.
2704
9aa3f3a5
DH
2705- Some bugs were fixed in the 'emergency relay agent options hologram'
2706 which is used to retain relay agent option contents from when the
2707 client was in INIT or REBIND states. This should solve problems where
2708 relay agent options were not echoed from the server, even when giaddr
2709 was set.
2710
3d0c598a
DH
2711- dhclient now closes its descriptor to dhclient.leases prior to executing
2712 dhclient-script. Thanks to a patch from Tomas Pospisek.
2713
d5b6835f
DH
2714- The server's "by client-id" and "by hardware address" hash table lists
2715 are now sorted according to the preference to re-allocate that lease to
2716 returning clients. This should eliminate pool starvation problems
2717 arising when "INIT" clients were given new leases rather than presently
2718 active ones.
2719
02428754 2720 Changes since 3.0.5rc1
0a73b7b6 2721
901306d5 2722- A bug was repaired in fixes to the dhclient, which sought to run the
0a73b7b6
SK
2723 dhclient-script with the 'EXPIRE' state should it receive a NAK in
2724 response to a REQUEST. The client now iterates the PREINIT state
2725 after the EXPIRE state, so that interfaces that might be configured
2726 'down' can be brought back 'up' and initialized.
2727
87a08ccc
DH
2728- DHCPINFORM handling for clients that properly set ciaddr and come to the
2729 server via a relay aget has been repaired.
2730
6da113fb
DH
2731 Changes since 3.0.4
2732
2733- A warning that host statements declared within subnet or shared-network
2734 scopes are actually global has been added.
2735
2736- The default minimum lease time (if min-lease-time was not specified)
2737 was raised from 0 to 300. 0 is not thought to be sensible, and is
2738 known to be damaging.
2739
2740- Added additional fatal error sanity checks surrounding lease binding
2741 state count calculations (free/active counts used for failover pool
2742 balancing).
2743
dcc557db
DH
2744- Some time value size fixes in 3.0.4 brought on from FreeBSD /usr/ports were
2745 misapplied to server values rather than client values. The server no longer
2746 advertises 8-byte lease-time options when on 64-bit platforms.
2747
1b2ab55f
DH
2748- A bug where leases not in ACTIVE state would get billed to billed classes
2749 (classes with lease limitations) was fixed. Non-active leases OFFERed
2750 to clients are no longer billed (but billing is checked before offering).
2751
e48891e8
DH
2752- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated in regard to the ddns-domainname
2753 configuration option - the default configuration and results should be
2754 more clear now.
2755
6cbc6629
DH
2756- If the dhclient were to receive a DHCPNAK while it was in the RENEW
2757 state (and consequently, had an active, 'bound' address and related
2758 configuration options), it would fail to 'tear down' this information
2759 before proceeding into INIT state. dhclient now iterates the dhclient-
2760 script with the 'EXPIRE' action to cause these teardowns prior to entering
1d3bfb17 2761 INIT state. Thanks to a patch from Chris Zimmerman.
6cbc6629 2762
c5fec5fa
DH
2763- The omapi.1 manpage had some formatting errors repaired thanks to a patch
2764 from Yoshihiko Sarumaru.
2765
33e1cb2b
DH
2766- A few lines of code that were failover-specific were moved within
2767 #if defined() clauses so that compilation without failover could be
2768 made possible.
2769
2bddf829
DH
2770- The log message emitted when the 'leased-address' value was not available
2771 in dhcpd.conf "executable statements" has been updated to be more helpful.
2772 Manpage information for this value has also been updated.
2773
87578987
DH
2774- Abandoned or dissociated (err condition) leases now remove any related
2775 dynamic dns bindings. Thanks to a patch from Patrick Schoo.
2776
e77c575f
DH
2777- Attempting to write a new lease file to replace a corrupt (due to
2778 encountering non-retryable errors during writing) lease file should
2779 no longer result in an infinite recursion.
2780
2178df03
DH
2781- Host declaration hardware addresses and client identifiers may only be
2782 configured once. dhcpd will now fail to load config files that specify
2783 multiple identifiers (previous versions would silently over-ride the
2784 value with the later configured value).
2785
d5341d9b
SK
2786- Several option codes that have been allocated since our last release
2787 have been named and documented.
2788
2789- Option names of the form "unknown-123" have been removed from the in-
2790 memory hash tables. In order to support options of these names that
2791 may appear in dhclient.leases or similar in previous versions, the
2792 parser will now find the new option code definition, or mock up a
2793 generic option code definition. This should result in a smooth
2794 transition from one name to the other, as the new name is used to
2795 write new output.
2796
6da113fb
DH
2797 Changes since 3.0.4rc1
2798
2799- The dhcp-options.5 manpage was updated to correct indentation errors
2800 thanks to a patch from Jean Delvare.
2801
2802 Changes since 3.0.4b3
2803
2804- Some manual pages were clarified pursuant to discussion on the dhcp-server
2805 mailing list.
2806
88cd8aca
DH
2807 Changes since 3.0.4b2
2808
45d545f0 2809- Null-termination sensing for certain clients that unfortunately require
88cd8aca
DH
2810 it in DHCPINFORM processing was repaired.
2811
2812- The host-name option and a few others were moved from "X" format to "t"
2813 format to be compatible with new NULL handling functions.
2814
2815- DHCPINFORM processing is a little more careful about return addressing
2816 its responses, or if responding via a relay. The INFORM related
2817 messages also log the 'effective client ip address' rather than the
2818 client's supplied ciaddr (since some clients produce null ciaddrs).
2819
2820- The server was inappropriately sending leases to the RESET state in the
2821 event that multiple active leases were found to match a singly-identified
2822 client. This was changed to RELEASED (by accepting a different, ACTIVE
2823 binding, the client is implicitly releasing its lease). This repairs a
2824 bug wherein secondary servers in failover pairs detecting this condition
2825 move leases to RESET, and primaries refuse to accept that state
2826 transition (properly).
2827
2828- The memset-after-dmalloc() changes made in 3.0.4b1 have been backed out.
2829
2830 Changes since 3.0.4b1
2831
2832- Command line parsing in omshell was repaired - it no longer closes
2833 STDIN after reading one line.
2834
2835- The resolver library no longer closes the /etc/resolv.conf file
2836 descriptor it opened twice.
2837
2838- Changes to trailing NULL removal in 't' option-atoms has been rethought,
2839 it now includes 'd' (domain name) types, and tries hard not to rewind an
2840 option beyond the start of the text field it is un-terminating.
2841
2842 Changes since 3.0.3
2843
2844- A DDNS update handling function was misusing the DNS error codes, rather
2845 than the internal generic result enumeration. The result is a confusing
2846 syslog line, logging the wrong condition.
2847
2848- The DHCP Server was not checking pool balance in the case where it brought
2849 a non-ACTIVE lease out of storage for a client that was returning to use
2850 a lease it once had long ago, and had since expired.
2851
2852- Failover peers no longer bother to look for free leases to allocate when
2853 they already found the client's ACTIVE lease. DISCOVERs are load balanced
98bd7ca0 2854 whether freely-allocated or not, unless the server doubts the peer has
88cd8aca
DH
2855 leases to allocate.
2856
2857- Fixed a bug in dhcrelay agent addition code that suppressed trailing
45d545f0 2858 PAD options - it was suppressing only one trailing PAD option, rather
88cd8aca
DH
2859 than the entire block of them.
2860
3a16098f
DH
2861! Fixed some unlikely overlapping-region memcpy() bugs in dhcrelay agent
2862 option addition and stripping code. Added a few sanity checks. Although
2863 highly improbable, due to requiring the reception of a DHCP datagram well
2864 in excess of all known to be used physical MTU limitations, it is possible
2865 this may have been used in a stack overflow security vulnerability. Thanks
2866 to a patch from infamous42md.
2867
2868! Added some sanity checks to OMAPI connection/authentication code.
2869 Although highly improbable, due to having to deliver in excess of 2^32
2870 bytes of data via the OMAPI channel, not to mention requiring dhcpd to
2871 be able to malloc() a memory region 2^32 bytes in size, it was possible
2872 this might have resulted in a heap overflow security vulnerability.
2873 Thanks to a patch from infamous42md.
88cd8aca
DH
2874
2875- dmalloc() memset()'s the non-debug (data) portion of the allocated
2876 memory to zero. Code that memset()'s the result returned by dmalloc() to
2877 zero is redundant. These redundancies were removed.
2878
2879- Some type declaration corrections to u_int16_t were made in common/tr.c
4b97eaff 2880 (Token Ring support) thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
88cd8aca
DH
2881
2882- A failover bug that was allowing leases that EXPIRED or were RELEASED
2883 where tsfp and tstp are identical timestamps to languish in these
2884 transitional states has been repaired. As a side effect, lease
2885 databases should be kept more consistent overall, not just for these
2886 transitional states.
2887
2888- If the lease db is deleted out from under the daemon, and it moves to rewrite
2889 the db, it will go ahead with the operation and move the new db into place
2890 once it detects the old db does not exist.
2891
2892- dhclient now ignores IRDA, SIT, and IEEE1394 network interfaces, as it
2893 is either nonsensical or (in the case of IEEE1394) is not known to support
2894 these interfaces. Thanks to Marius Gedminas and Andrew Pollock of Debian.
2895
2896- Some previously undocumented reasons for dhclient-script invoking has
45d545f0 2897 been documented in the dhclient-script.8 manpage.
88cd8aca
DH
2898
2899- Failover potential expiry calculations (TSTP) have been corrected. Results
2900 should be substantially more consistent, and proper given the constraints.
2901
2902- Adjusted lease state validation checks in potential-conflict, to
2903 account for possible clock skew similarly to normal state, and several
2904 previously illegal transitions were made legal (ex: active->released).
2905
2906- An impossible sanity check was removed from omapi/buffer.c, thanks to a
2907 patch from 'infamous42md'.
2908
2909- An OMAPI host/network byte order problem in lease time values has been
2910 repaired.
2911
2912- Several minor bugs, largely relating to treating 8-byte time values as
2913 4-byte entities, have been repaired after careful review of the FreeBSD
2914 ports collection's patch set. Thanks to the nameless entities who have
2915 contributed to the FreeBSD ports.
2916
2917- When writing a trace file, the file is now created with permissions 0600,
2918 to help administrators avoid accidentally publicising sensitive config
2919 data.
2920
2921- The calculation of the maximum size of DHCP packets no longer includes
2922 Ethernet framing overhead. The result is that the 'Maximum Message
2923 Size' option advertised by clients, or the default value 576, is no
2924 longer reduced by 14 bytes, and instead directly reflects the IP level
2925 MTU (and the default, minimum allowed IP MTU of 576).
2926
2927- The special status of RELEASED/EXPIRED/RESET leases when a server
2928 is operating in partner-down was fixed. It no longer requires a
2929 lease be twice the MCLT beyond STOS to 'reallocate', and the expiry
2930 event to turn these into FREE leases without peer acknowledgement
2931 (after STOS+MCLT) has been repaired.
2932
2933- Compilation on older Solaris systems (lacking /usr/include/sys/int_types.h)
2934 has been repaired.
2935
2936- "append"ing a string onto the end of a "t" type option (such as the
2937 domain-name field) that had been improperly NULL-terminated by the
2938 DHCP server will no longer result in a truncated string containing
2939 only the option from the server, and not the expected appended value.
4b97eaff 2940 Thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
88cd8aca
DH
2941
2942- File handlers on configuration state (config files and lease dbs) should
98bd7ca0 2943 be treated consistently, regardless of whether TRACING is defined or not.
88cd8aca 2944
45d545f0 2945- The Linux build environment has had some minor improvements - better
88cd8aca
DH
2946 sensing of 64-bit pointer sizes (only used for establishing an icmp_id),
2947 and corrections to #if operators regarding LINUX_MAJOR should it ever
2948 move to 3.[01].x.
2949
2950- The server now tries harder to survive the condition where it is unable
2951 to open a new lease file to rewrite the lease state database.
2952
c75473d8
DH
2953 Changes since 3.0.3b3
2954
2955- dhclient.conf documentation for interface {} was updated to reflect recent
2956 discussion on the dhcp-hackers mailing list.
2957
2958- In response to reports that the software does not compile on GCC 4.0.0,
2959 -Werror was removed from Makefile.conf for all platforms that used it.
2960 We will address the true problem in a future release; this is a temporary
2961 workaround.
2962
2963 Changes since 3.0.3b2
2964
2965- An error in code changes introduced in 3.0.3b2 was corrected, which caused
2966 static BOOTP clients to receive random addresses.
2967
2968 Changes since 3.0.3b1
2969
2970- A bug was fixed in BOOTPREQUEST handling code wherein stale references to
2971 host records would be left behind on leases that were not allocated to the
2972 client currently booting (eg in the case where the host was denied booting).
2973
2974- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated to be more clear in regards to
2975 multiple host declarations (thanks to Vincent McIntyre). 'Interim' style
2976 dynamic updates were also retouched.
2977
98311e4b
DH
2978 Changes since 3.0.2
2979
2980- A bug was fixed where a server might load balance a DHCP REQUEST to its
45d545f0 2981 peer after already choosing not to load balance the preceding DISCOVER.
98311e4b
DH
2982 The peer cannot allocate the originating server's lease.
2983
2984- In the case where a secondary server lost its stable storage while the
2985 primary was still in communications-interrupted, and came back online,
2986 the lease databases would not be fully transferred to the secondary.
2987 This was due to the secondary errantly sending an extra UPDREQ message
2988 when the primary made its state transition to PARTNER-DOWN known.
2989
2990- The package will now compile cleanly in gcc 3.3 and 3.4. As a side effect,
2991 lease structures will be 9 bytes smaller on all platforms. Thanks to
4b97eaff 2992 Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
2993
2994- Interface discovery code in DISCOVER_UNCONFIGURED mode is now
2995 properly restricted to only detecting broadcast interfaces. Thanks
4b97eaff 2996 to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
2997
2998- decode_udp_ip_header was changed so that the IP address was copied out
2999 to a variable, rather than referenced by a pointer. This enforces 4-byte
3000 alignment of the 32-bit IP address value. Thanks to a patch from Dr.
3001 Peter Poeml.
3002
3003- An incorrect log message was corrected thanks to a patch from
3004 Dr. Peter Poeml.
3005
3006- A bug in DDNS was repaired, where if the server's first DDNS action was
3007 a DDNS removal rather than a DDNS update, the resolver library's
3008 retransmit timer and retry timer was set to the default, implying a
3009 15 second timeout interval. Which is a little excessive in a synchronous,
3010 single-threaded system. In all cases, ISC DHCP should now hold fast to
3011 a 1-second timeout, trying only once.
3012
3013- The siaddr field was being improperly set to the server-identifier when
3014 responding to DHCP messages. RFC2131 clarified the siaddr field as
3015 meaning the 'next server in the bootstrap process', eg a tftp server.
3016 The siaddr field is now left zeroed unless next-server is configured.
3017
3018- mockup_lease() could have returned in an error condition (or in the
3019 condition where no fixed-address was found matching the shared
3020 network) with stale references to a host record. This is probably not
3021 a memory leak since host records generally never die anyway.
3022
3023- A bug was repaired where failover servers would let stale client identifiers
3024 persist on leases that were reallocated to new clients not sending an id.
3025
3026- Binding scopes ("set var = value;") are now removed from leases allocated
3027 by failover peers if the lease had expired. This should help reduce the
3028 number of stale binding scopes on leases.
3029
3030- A small memory leak was closed involving client identifiers larger than
3031 7 bytes, and failover.
3032
3033- Configuring a subnet in dhcpd.conf with a subnet mask of 32 bits might
3034 cause an internal function to overflow heap. Thanks to Jason Vas Dias
4b97eaff 3035 at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3036
3037- Some inconsistencies in treating numbers that the lexer parsed as 'NUMBER'
3038 or 'NUMBER_OR_NAME' was repaired. Hexadecimal parsing is affected, and
3039 should work better.
3040
3041- In several cases, parse warnings were being issued before the lexical
3042 token had been advanced to the token whose value was causing an error...
3043 causing parse warnings to claim the problem is on the wrong token.
3044
3045- Host declarations matching on client identifier for dynamic leases will
3046 no longer match fixed-address host declarations (this is now identical
3047 to behaviour for host records matching on hardware address).
3048
3049 Changes since 3.0.2rc3
3050
3051- A previously undocumented configuration directive, 'local-address',
3052 was documented in the dhcpd.conf manpage.
3053
3054 Changes since 3.0.2rc2
3055
45d545f0 3056- Two variables introduced in 3.0.2b1 were used without being initialized
98311e4b
DH
3057 in the case where neither the FILE nor SNAME fields were available for
3058 overloading. This was repaired.
3059
3060- A heretofore believed to be impossible corner case of the option
3061 overloading implementation turned out to be possible ("Unable to sort
3062 overloaded options after 10 tries."). The implementation was reworked
3063 to consider the case of an option so large it would require more than
3064 three chunks to fit.
3065
3066- Many other instances of variables being used without being initialized
3067 were repaired.
3068
3069- An uninitialized variable in omapi_io_destroy() led to the discovery
3070 that this function may result in orphaned pointers (and hence, a memory
3071 leak).
3072
3073 Changes since 3.0.2rc1
3074
3075- allocate_lease() was rewritten to repair a bug in which the server would
3076 try to allocate an ABANDONED lease when FREE leases were available.
3077
3078 Changes since 3.0.2b1
3079
3080- Some dhcp-eval.5 manpage formatting was repaired.
3081
3082 Changes since 3.0.1
3083
3084- A bug was fixed in the server's 'option overloading' implementation,
3085 where options loaded into the 'file' and 'sname' packet fields were
3086 not aligned precisely as rfc2131 dictates.
3087
3088- The FreeBSD client script was changed to support the case where a domain
3089 name was not provided by the server.
3090
3091- A memory leak in 'omshell' per each command line parsed was
3092 repaired, thanks to a patch from Jarkko Torppa.
3093
3094- Log functions writing to stderr were adjusted to use the STDERR_FILENO
3095 system definition rather than '2'. This is a no-op for 90% of platforms.
3096
3097- One call to trace_write_packet_iov() counted the number of io vectors
3098 incorrectly, causing inconsistent tracefiles. This was fixed.
3099
3100- Some expression parse failure memory leaks were closed.
3101
3102- A host byte order problem in tracefiles was repaired.
3103
3104- Pools configured in DHCPD for failover possessing permission lists that
adb95d23 3105 previously were assumed to not include dynamic bootp clients are now
98311e4b
DH
3106 a little more pessimistic. The result is, dhcpd will nag you about just
3107 about most pools that possess a 'allow' statement with no 'deny' that
3108 would definitely match a dynamic bootp client.
3109
3110- The 'ddns-update-style' configuration warning bit now insists that
3111 the configuration be globally scoped.
3112
3113- Two memory leaks in dhclient were closed thanks to a patch from Felix
3114 Farkas.
3115
3116- Some minor but excellently pedantic documentation errors were fixed
3117 thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
3118
3119- Bugs in operator precedence in executable statements have been repaired
3120 once again. More legal syntaxes should be parsed legally.
3121
3122- Failing to initialize a tracefile for any reason if a tracefile was
3123 specified is now a fatal error. Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
3124
3125- Corrected a bug in which the number of leases transferred as calculated
3126 by the failover primary and sent to peers in POOLRESP responses may be
3127 incorrect. This value is not believed to be used by other failover
3128 implementations, excepting perhaps as logged information.
3129
3130- Corrected a bug in which 'dhcp_failover_send_poolresp()' was in fact
3131 sending POOLREQ messages instead of POOLRESP mesasges. This message
3132 was essentially ignored since failover secondaries effectively do not
3133 respond to POOLREQ messages.
3134
3135- Type definitions for various bitwidths of integers in the sunos5-5
3136 build of ISC DHCP have been fixed. It should compile and run more
3137 easily when built in 64-bit for this platform.
3138
3139- "allow known-clients;" is now a legal syntax, to avoid confusion.
3140
3141- If one dhcp server chooses to 'load balance' a request to its failover
3142 peer, it first checks to see if it believes said peer has a free
3143 lease to allocate before ignoring the DISCOVER.
3144
3145- log() was logging a work buffer, rather than the value returned by
3146 executing the statements configured by the user. In some cases,
3147 the work buffer and the intended results were the same. In some other
3148 cases, they were not. This was fixed thanks to a patch from Gunnar
3149 Fjone and directconnect.no.
3150
3151- Compiler warnings for some string type conversions was fixed, thanks
3152 to Andreas Gustafsson.
3153
3154- The netbsd build environments were simplified to one, in which
3155 -Wconversion is not used, thanks to Andreas Gustafsson.
3156
3157- How randomness in the backoff-cutoff dhclient configuration variable
3158 is implemented was better documented in the manpage, and the behaviour
3159 of dhclient in REQUEST timeout handling was changed to match that of
3160 DISCOVER timeout handling.
3161
3162- Omapi was hardened against clients that pass in null values, thanks
3163 to a patch from Mark Jason Dominus.
3164
3165- A bug was fixed in dhclient that kept it from doing client-side
3166 ddns updates. Thanks to a patch from Andreas Gustafsson, which
3167 underwent some modification after review by Jason Vas Dias.
3168
3169- Failover implementations disconnected due to the network between
3170 them (rather than one of the two shutting down) will now try to
3171 re-establish the failover connection every 5 seconds, rather than
3172 to simply try once and give up until one of them is restarted.
3173 Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from Infoblox, and field testing
3174 by Greger V. Teigre which led to an enhancement to it.
3175
3176- A problem that kept DHCP Failover secondaries from tearing down
3177 ddns records was repaired. Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from
3178 Infoblox.
3179
3180- 64bit pointer sizes are detected properly on FreeBSD now.
3181
3182- A bug was repaired where the DHCP server would leave stale references
3183 to host records on leases it once thought about offering to certain
3184 clients. The result would be to apply host and 'known' scopes to the
3185 wrong clients (possibly denying booting). NOTE: The 'mis-host' patch
3186 that was being circulated as a workaround is not the way this bug was
3187 fixed. If you were a victim of this bug in 3.0.1, you are cautioned
3188 to proceed carefully and see if it fixes your problem.
3189
3190- A bug was repaired in the server's DHCPINFORM handling, where it
3191 tried to divine the client's address from the source packet and
3192 would get it wrong. Thanks to Anshuman Singh Rawat.
3193
3194- A log message was introduced to help illuminate the case where the
3195 server was unable to find a lease to assign to any BOOTP client.
3196 Thanks to Daniel Baker.
3197
3198- A minor dhcpd.conf.5 manpage error was fixed.
3199
3200 Changes since 3.0.1rc14
3201
3202- The global variable 'cur_time' was centralized and is now uniformly of a
3203 type #defined in system-dependent headers. It had previously been defined
3204 in one of many places as a 32-bit value, and this causes mayhem on 64-bit
3205 big endian systems. It probably wasn't too healthy on little endian
3206 systems either.
3207
3208- A printf format string error introduced in rc14 was repaired.
3209
3210- AIX system-dependent header file was altered to only define NO_SNPRINTF
3211 if the condition used to #ifdef in vsnprintf in AIX' header files
3212 is false.
3213
3214- The Alpha/OSF system-dependent header file was altered to define
3215 NO_SNPRINTF on OS revisions older than 4.0G.
3216
3217- omapip/test.c had string.h added to its includes.
3218
3219 Changes since 3.0.1rc13
3220
3221! CAN-2004-0460 - CERT VU#317350: Five stack overflow exploits were closed
3222 in logging messages with excessively long hostnames provided by the
3223 clients. It is highly probable that these could have been used by
3224 attackers to gain arbitrary root access on systems using ISC DHCP 3.0.1
3225 release candidates 12 or 13. Special thanks to Gregory Duchemin for
3226 both finding and solving the problem.
3227
3228! CAN-2004-0461 - CERT VU#654390: Once the above was closed, an opening
45d545f0 3229 in log_*() functions was evidenced, on some specific platforms where
98311e4b
DH
3230 vsnprintf() was not believed to be available and calls were wrapped to
3231 sprintf() instead. Again, credit goes to Gregory Duchemin for finding
3232 the problem. Calls to snprintf() are now linked to a distribution-local
3233 snprintf implementation, only in those cases where the architecture is
3234 not known to provide one (see includes/cf/[arch].h). If you experience
3235 linking problems with snprintf/vsnprintf or 'isc_print_' functions, this
3236 is where to look. This vulnerability did not exist in any previously
3237 published version of ISC DHCP.
3238
3239- Compilation on hpux 11.11 was repaired.
3240
3241- 'The cross-compile bug fix' was backed out.
3242
3243 Changes since 3.0.1rc12
3244
3245- Fixed a bug in omapi lease lookup function, to form the hardware
3246 address for the hash lookup correctly, thanks to a patch from
3247 Richard Hirst.
3248
3249- Fixed a bug where dhcrelay was sending relayed responses back to the
3250 broadcast address, but with the source's unicast mac address. Should
3251 now conform to rfc2131 section 4.1.
3252
3253- Cross-compile bug fix; use $(AR) instead of ar. Thanks to Morten Brorup.
3254
3255- Fixed a crash bug in dhclient where dhcpd servers that do not provide
3256 renewal times results in an FPE. As a side effect, dhclient can now
3257 properly handle 0xFFFFFFFF (-1) expiry times supplied by servers. Thanks
3258 to a patch from Burt Silverman.
3259
3260- The 'ping timeout' debugs from rc12 were removed to -DDEBUG only,
45d545f0 3261 and reformatted to correct a compilation error on Solaris platforms.
98311e4b
DH
3262
3263- A patch was applied which fixes a case where leases read from the
3264 leases database do not properly over-ride previously read leases.
3265
3266- dhcpctl.3 manpage was tweaked.

3268 Changes since 3.0.1rc11
3269
3270- A patch from Steve Campbell was applied with minor modifications to
3271 permit reverse dns PTR record updates with values containing spaces.
3272
3273- A patch from Florian Lohoff was applied with some modifications to
3274 dhcrelay. It now discards packets whose hop count exceeds 10 by default,
3275 and a command-line option (-c) can be used to set this threshold.
3276
3277- A failover bug relating to identifying peers by name length instead of
3278 by name was fixed.
3279
45d545f0 3280- Declaring failover configs within shared-network statements should no
98311e4b
DH
3281 longer result in error.
3282
3283- The -nw command line option to dhclient now works.
3284
3285- Thanks to a patch from Michael Richardson:
3286 - Some problems with long option processing have been fixed.
3287 - Some fixes to minires so that updates of KEY records will work.
3288
3289- contrib/ms2isc was updated by Shu-Min Chang of the Intel Corporation.
3290 see contrib/ms2isc/readme.txt for revision notes.
3291
3292- Dhclient no longer uses shell commands to kill another instance of
3293 itself, it sends the signal directly. Thanks to a patch from Martin
3294 Blapp.
3295
3296- The FreeBSD dhclient-script was changed so that a failure to write to
3297 /etc/resolv.conf does not prematurely end the script. This keeps dhclient
3298 from looping infinitely when this is the case. Thanks to a patch from
3299 Martin Blapp.
3300
3301- A patch from Bill Stephens was applied which resolves a problem with lease
3302 expiry times in failover configurations.
3303
3304- A memory leak in configuration parsing was closed thanks to a patch from
3305 Steve G.
3306
3307- The function which discovers interfaces will now skip non-broadcast or
3308 point-to-point interfaces, thanks to a patch from David Brownlee.
3309
3310- Options not yet known by the dhcpd or dhclient have had their names
3311 changed such that they do not contain # symbols, in case they should ever
3312 appear in a lease file. An option that might have been named "#144" is
3313 now "unknown-144".
3314
3315- Another patch from Bill Stephens which allows the ping-check timeout to
3316 be configured as 'ping-timeout'. Defaults to 1.
3317
3318 Changes since 3.0.1rc10
3319
3320- Potential buffer overflows in minires repaired.
3321
3322- A change to the linux client script to use /bin/bash, since /bin/sh may
3323 not be bash.
3324
3325- Some missing va_end cleanups thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
3326
3327- A correction of boolean parsing syntax validation - some illegal syntaxes
3328 that worked before are now detected and produce errs, some legal syntaxes
3329 that errored before will now work properly.
3330
3331- Some search-and-replace errors that caused some options to change their
3332 names was repaired.
3333
3334- Shu-min Chang of the Intel corporation has contributed a perl script and
3335 module that converts the MS NT4 DHCP configuration to a ISC DHCP3
3336 configuration file.
3337
3338- Applied the remainder of the dhcpctl memory leak patch provided by Bill
3339 Squier at ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
3340
3341- Missing non-optional failover peer configurations will now result in a soft
3342 error rather than a null dereference.
3343
3344 Changes since 3.0.1rc9
3345
3346- A format string was corrected to fix compiler warnings.
3347
3348- A number of spelling corrections were made in the man pages.
3349
3350- The dhclient.conf.5 man page was changed to refer to do-forward-updates
3351 rather than a configuration option that doesn't exist.
3352
3353- A FreeBSD-specific bug in the interface removal handling was fixed.
3354
3355- A Linux-specific Token Ring detection problem was fixed.
3356
3357- Hashes removed from as-yet-unknown agent options, having those options
3358 appear in reality before we know about them will no longer produce
3359 self-corrupting lease databases.
3360
3361- dhclient will use the proper port numbers now when using the -g option.
3362
3363- A order-of-operations bug with 2 match clauses in 1 class statement is
3364 fixed thanks to a patch from Andrew Matheson.
3365
3366- Compilation problems on Solaris were fixed.
3367
3368- Compilation problems when built with DEBUG or DEBUG_PACKET were repaired.
3369
3370- A fix to the dhcp ack process which makes certain group options will be
3371 included in the first DHCPOFFER message was made thanks to a patch from
3372 Ling Gou.
3373
3374- A few memory leaks were repaired thanks to patches from Bill Squier at
3375 ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
3376
3377- A fix for shared-networks that sometimes give clients options for the
3378 wrong subnets (in particular, 'option routers') was applied, thanks to
3379 Ted Lemon for the patch.
3380
3381- Omshell's handling of dotted octets as values was changed such that dots
3382 one after the other produce zero values in the integer string.
3383
3384 Changes since 3.0.1rc8
3385
3386- Fix a format string vulnerability in the server that could lead to a
3387 remote root compromise (discovered by NGSEC Research Team, www.ngsec.com).
3388
3389- Add additional support for NetBSD/sparc64.
3390
3391- Fix a bug in the command-line parsing of the client. Also, resolve
3392 a memory leak.
3393
3394- Add better support for shells other than bash in the Linux client
3395 script.
3396
3397- Various build fixes for modern versions of FreeBSD and Linux.
3398
3399- Fix a bad bounds check when printing binding state names.
3400
3401- Clarify documentation about fixed-address and multiple addresses.
3402
3403- Fix a typo in the authoritative error message.
3404
3405- Make a log entry when we can't write a billing class.
3406
3407- Use conversion targets that are the right size on all architectures.
3408
3409- Increment the hop count when relaying.
3410
3411- Log a message when lease state is changed through OMAPI.
3412
3413- Don't rerun the shared_network when evaluating the pool.
3414
3415- Fix a reversed test in the parser.
3416
3417- Change the type of rbuf_max.
3418
3419- Make FTS_LAST a manifest constant to quiet warnings.
3420
3421 Changes since 3.0.1rc7
3422
3423- Fix two compiler warnings that are generated when compiling on Solaris
3424 with gcc. These stop the build, even though they weren't actually
3425 errors, because we prefer that our builds generate no warnings.
3426
3427 Changes since 3.0.1rc6
3428
3429- Don't allow a lease that's in the EXPIRED, RELEASED or RESET state
3430 to be renewed.
3431
3432- Implement lease stealing for cases where the primary has fewer leases
3433 than the secondary, as called for by the standard.
3434
3435- Add a fudge factor to the lease expiry acceptance code, (suggested
3436 by Kevin Miller of CMU).
3437
3438- Fix a bug in permit_list_match that made it much too willing to say
3439 that two permit lists matched.
3440
3441- Unless DEBUG_DNS_UPDATES is defined, print more user-friendly (and
3442 also more compact) messages about DNS updates.
3443
3444- Fix a bug in generating wire-format domain names for the FQDN option.
3445
3446- Fix a bug where the FQDN option would not be returned if the client
3447 requested it, contrary to the standard.
3448
3449- On Darwin, use the FreeBSD DHCP client script.
3450
3451- On NetBSD/sparc, don't check for casting warnings.
3452
3453- Add a flag in the DHCP client to disable updating the client's A
3454 record when sending an FQDN option indicating that the client is
3455 going to update its A record.
3456
3457- In the client, don't attempt a DNS update until one second after
3458 configuring the new IP address, and if the update times out, keep
3459 trying until a response, positive or negative, is received from the
3460 DNS server.
3461
3462- Fix an uninitialized memory bug in the DHCP client.
3463
3464- Apply some FreeBSD-specific bug fixes suggested by Murray Stokely.
3465
3466- Fix a bug in ns_parserr(), where it was returning the wrong sort
3467 of result code in some cases (suggested by Ben Harris of the
3468 NetBSD project).
3469
3470- Fix a bug in is_identifier(), where it was checking against EOF
3471 instead of the END_OF_FILE token (also suggested by Ben Harris).
3472
3473- Fix a bug where if an option universe contained no options, the
3474 DHCP server could dump core (Walter Steiner).
3475
3476- Fix a bug in the handling of encapsulated options.
3477
3478- Fix a bug that prevented NWIP suboptions from being processed.
3479
3480- Delete the FTS_BOOTP and FTS_RESERVED states and implement them
3481 as modifier flags to the FTS_ACTIVE state, as called for in the
3482 failover protocol standard.
3483
3484- Fix bugs in the pool merging code that resulted in references and
3485 dereferences of null pointers. This bug had no impact unless the
3486 POINTER_DEBUG flag was defined.
3487
3488- In the server, added a do-forward-updates flag that can be used to
3489 disable forward updates in all cases, so that sites that want the
3490 clients to take sole responsibility for updating their A record can
3491 do so.
3492
3493- Make it possible to disable optimization of PTR record updates.
3494
3495 Changes since 3.0.1rc5
3496
3497- Include some new documentation and changes provided by Karl Auer.
3498
3499- Add a workaround for some Lexmark printers that send a double-NUL-
3500 terminated host-name option, which would break DNS updates.
3501
3502- Fix an off-by-one error in the MAC-address checking code for
3503 DHCPRELEASE that was added in 3.0.1rc5.
3504
3505- Fix a bug where client-specific information was not being discarded
3506 from the lease when it expired or was released, resulting in
3507 problems if the lease was reallocated to a different client.
3508
3509- If more than one allocation pool is specified that has the same set
3510 of constraints as another allocation pool on the same shared
3511 network, merge the two pools.
3512
3513- Don't print an error in fallback_discard, since this just causes
3514 confusion and does not appear to be helping to encourage anyone to
3515 fix this bug.
3516
3517 Changes since 3.0.1rc4
3518
3519- Fix a bug that would cause the DHCP server to spin if asked to parse
3520 a certain kind of incorrect statement.
3521
3522- Fix a related bug that would prevent an error from being reported in
3523 the same case.
3524
3525- Additional documentation.
3526
3527- Make sure that the hardware address matches the lease when
3528 processing a DHCPRELEASE message.
3529
3530 Changes since 3.0.1rc3
3531
3532- A minor bug fix in the arguments to a logging function call.
3533- Documentation update for dhcpd.conf.
3534
adbef119 3535 Changes since 3.0.1rc2
98311e4b
DH
3536
3537- Allow the primary to send a POOLREQ message. This isn't what the current
3538 failover draft says to do, so we may have to back it out if I can't get the
3539 authors to relent, but the scheme for balancing that's specified in the
3540 current draft seems needlessly hairy, so I'm floating a trial balloon.
3541 The rc1 code did not implement the method described in the draft either.
3542
adbef119 3543 Changes since 3.0.1rc1
98311e4b
DH
3544
3545- Treat NXDOMAIN and NXRRSET as success when we are trying to delete a
3546 domain or RRSET. This allows the DHCP server to forget about a name
3547 it added to the DNS once it's been removed, even if the DHCP server
3548 wasn't the one that removed it.
3549
3550- Install defaults for failover maximum outstanding updates and maximum
3551 silent time. This prevents problems that might occur if these values
3552 were not configured.
3553
3554- Don't do DDNS deletes if ddns-update-style is none.
3555
3556- Return relay agent information options in DHCPNAK. This prevents DHCPNAK
3557 messages from being dropped when the relay agent information option contains
3558 routing information.
3559
3560- Fix a problem where coming up in recover wouldn't result in an update
3561 request being sent.
3562
3563- Add some more chatty messages when we start a recovery update and when it's
3564 done.
3565
3566- Fix a possible problem where some state might have been left around
3567 after the peer lost contact and regained contact about how many updates
3568 were pending.
3569
3570- Don't nix a lease update because of a lease conflict. This test has
3571 never (as far as I know) prevented a mistake, and it appears to cause
3572 problems with failover.
3573
3574- Add support in rc history code for keeping a selective history, rather
3575 than a history of all references and dereferences. This code is only used
3576 when extensive additional debugging is enabled.
3577
adbef119 3578 Changes since 3.0
98311e4b
DH
3579
3580- Make allocators for hash tables. As a side effect, this fixes a memory
3581 smash in the subclass allocation code.
3582
3583- Fix a small bug in omshell where if you try to close an object when
3584 no object is open, it dumps core.
3585
3586- Fix an obscure coredump that could occur on shutdown.
3587
3588- Fix a bug in the recording of host declaration rubouts in the lease file.
3589
3590- Fix two potential spins in the host deletion code.
3591
3592- Fix a core dump that would happen if an application tried to update
3593 a host object attribute with a null value.
3594
3595 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 12
3596
3597- Fix a memory leak in the evaluation code.
3598
3599- Fix an obscure core dump.
3600
3601- Print a couple of new warnings when parsing the configuration file
3602 when crucial information is left out.
3603
3604- Log "no free leases" as an error.
3605
3606- Documentation updates.
3607
3608 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 11
3609
3610- Always return a subnet selection option if one is sent.
3611
3612- Fix a warning that was being printed because an automatic data
3613 structure wasn't zeroed.
3614
3615- Fix some failover state transitions that were being handled
3616 incorrectly.
3617
3618- When supersede_lease is called on a lease whose end time has already
3619 expired, but for which a state transition has not yet been done, do
3620 a state transition. This fixes the case where if the secondary
3621 allocated a lease to a client and the lease "expired" while the
3622 secondary was in partner-down, no expiry event would actually
3623 happen, so the lease would remain active until the primary was
3624 restarted.
3625
3626 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 10
3627
3628- Fix a bug that was preventing released leases from changing state
3629 in failover-enabled pools.
3630
3631- Fix a core dump in the client identifier finder code (for host
3632 declarations).
3633
3634- Finish fixing a bug where bogus data would sometimes get logged to
3635 the dhclient.leases file because it was opened as descriptor 2.
3636
3637- Fix the Linux dhclient-script according to suggestions made by
3638 several people on the dhcp-client mailing list.
3639
3640- Log successful DNS updates at LOG_INFO, not LOG_ERROR.
3641
3642- Print an error message and refuse to run if a failover peer is
3643 defined but not referenced by any pools.
3644
3645- Correct a confusing error message in failover.
3646

TL
3647 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 9
3648
3649- Fix a bug in lease allocation for Dynamic BOOTP clients.

0db87765
TL
3651 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8 Patchlevel 2
3652
3653- Fix a bug that prevented update-static-leases from working.
3654
3655- Document failover-state OMAPI object.
3656
3657- Fix a compilation error on SunOS 4.
3658
d758ad8c
TL
3659 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8 Patchlevel 1
3660
3661- Fix a parsing bug that broke dns updates (both interim and ad-hoc).
3662 This was introduced in rc8pl1 as an unintended result of the memory
3663 leakage fixes that were in pl1.
3664
3665- Fix a long-standing bug where the server would record that an update
3666 had been done for a client with no name, even though no update had
3667 been done, and then when the client's lease expired the deletion of
3668 that nonexistant record would time out because the name was the null
9a111ee8 3669 string.
d758ad8c
TL
3670
3671- Clean up the omshell, dhcpctl and omapi man pages a bit.
3672
d758ad8c
TL
3673 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8
3674
3675- Fix a bug that could cause the DHCP server to spin if
3676 one-lease-per-client was enabled.
3677
3678- Fix a bug that was causing core dumps on BSD/os in the presence of
3679 malformed packets.
3680
3681- In partner-down state, don't restrict lease lengths to MCLT.
3682
3683- On the failover secondary, record the MCLT received from the primary
3684 so that if we come up without a connection to the primary we don't
3685 wind up giving out zero-length leases.
3686
3687- Fix some compilation problems on BSD/os.
3688
3689- Fix a bunch of memory leaks.
3690
3691- Fix a couple of bugs in the option printer.
3692
3693- Fix an obscure error reporting bug in the dns update code, and also
3694 make the message clearer when a key algorithm isn't supported.
3695
3696- Fix a bug in the tracing code that prevented trace runs that used
3697 tcp connections from being played back.
3698
3699- Add some additional debugging capability for catching memory leaks
3700 on exit.
3701
3702- Make the client release the lease correctly on shutdown.
3703
3704- Add some configurability to the build system.
3705
3706- Install omshell manual page in man1, not man8.
3707
3708- Craig Gwydir sent in a patch that fixes a long-standing bug in the
3709 DHCP client that could cause core dumps, but that for some reason
3710 hadn't been noticed until now.
3711
3712 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 7
3713
3714- Fix a bug in failover where we weren't sending updates after a
3715 transition from communications-interrupted to normal.
3716
3717- Handle expired/released/reset -> free transition according to the
3718 protocol specification (this works - the other way not only wasn't
3719 conformant, but also didn't work).
3720
3721- Add a control object in both client and server that allows either
3722 daemon to be shut down cleanly.
3723
3724- When writing a lease, if we run out of disk space, shut down the
3725 output file and insist on writing a new one before proceeding.
3726
3727- In the server, if the OMAPI listener port is occupied, keep trying
3728 to get it, rather than simply giving up and exiting.
3729
3730- Support fetching variables from leases and also updating and adding
3731 variables to leases via OMAPI.
3732
3733- If two failover peers have wildly different clocks, refuse to start
3734 doing failover.
3735
3736- Fix a bug in the DNS update code that could cause core dumps when
3737 running on alpha processors.
3738
3739- Fixed a bug in ddns updates for static lease entries, thanks to a
3740 patch from Andrey M Linkevitch.
3741
3742- Add support for Darwin/MacOS X
3743
3744- Install omshell (including new documentation).
3745
3746- Support DNS updates in the client (this is a very obscure feature
3747 that most DHCP client users probably will not be able to use).
3748
3749- Somewhat cleaner status logging in the client.
3750
3751- Make OMAPI key naming syntax compatible with the way keys are
3752 actually named (key names are domain names).
3753
3754- Fix a bug in the lease file writer.
3755
3756- Install DHCP ISC headers in a different place than BIND 9 ISC
3757 headers, to avoid causing trouble in BIND 9 builds.
3758
3759- Don't send updates for attributes on an object when the attributes
3760 haven't changed. Support deleting attributes on remote objects.
3761
3762- Fix a number of bugs in omshell, and add the unset and refresh
3763 statements.
3764
3765- Handle disconnects in OMAPI a little bit more intelligently (so that
3766 the caller gets ECONNRESET instead of EINVAL).
3767
3768- Fix a bunch of bugs in the handling of clients that have existing
3769 leases when the try to renew their leases while failover is
3770 operating.
3771
eaf0b302
TL
3772 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 6
3773
3774- Fix a core dump that could happen when processing a DHCPREQUEST from
3775 a client that had a host declaration that contained both a
3776 fixed-address declaration and a dhcp-client-identifier option
3777 declaration, if the client identifier was longer than nine bytes.
3778
3779- Fix a memory leak that could happen in certain obscure cases when
3780 using omapi to manipulate leases.
3781
3782- Fix some bugs and omissions in omshell.
3783
eaf0b302
TL
3784 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 5
3785
3786- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that prevented objects in
3787 chains from having their reference counts decreased on dereference.
3788
3789- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that would prevent object
3790 chains from being freed upon removal of the last reference external
3791 to the chain.
3792
3793- Fix a number of other memory leaks in the OMAPI protocol subsystem.
3794
3795- Add code in the OMAPI protocol handler to trace memory leakage.
3796
3797- Clean up the memory allocation/reference history printer.
3798
98311e4b 3799- Support input of dotted quads and colon-separated hex lists as
eaf0b302
TL
3800 attribute values in omshell.

3811- Fix failover peer OMAPI support.
3812
3813- In failover, correctly handle expiration of leases. Previously,
3814 leases would never be reclaimed because they couldn't make the
3815 transition from EXPIRED to FREE.
3816
3817- Fix some broken failover state transitions.
3818
3819- Documentation fixes.
3820
3821- Take out an unnecessary check in DHCP relay agent information option
3822 stashing code that was preventing REBINDING clients from rebinding.
3823
3824- Prevent failover peers from allocating leases in DHCPREQUEST
3825 processing if the lease belongs to the other server.
3826
3827- Record server version in lease file introductory comment.
3828
3829- Correctly report connection errors in OMAPI and failover.
3830
3831- Make authentication signature algorithm name comparisons in OMAPI
3832 case-insensitive.
3833
3834- Fix compile problem on SunOS 4.x

3838 consistently.
3839
3840- Different SIOCGIFCONF probe code, may "fix" problem on some Linux
3841 systems with the probe not working correctly.

3847- Do lease billing on startup in a way that I *think* will finally do
3848 the billing correctly - the previous method could overbill as a
3849 result of duplicate leases.

3856 Herranz for figuring out the main problem.
3857
3858- Fix some reference counting errors on host entries that were causing
3859 core dumps.

3862 Friedrich.

3865
3866 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 2
3867
3868- Change the conditions under which a DHCPRELEASE is actually
3869 committed to be consistent with lease binding states rather than
98311e4b 3870 using the lease end time. This may fix some problems with the
892fe689
TL
3871 billing class code.
3872
3873- Fix a bug where lease updates would fail on Digital Unix (and maybe
3874 others) because malloc was called with a size of zero.
3875
3876- Fix a core dump that happens when the DHCP server can't create its
3877 trace file.

79ea3de8
TL
3881- Fix the dhcp_failover_put_message to not attempt to allocate a
3882 zero-length buffer. Some versions of malloc() fail if you try to
3883 allocate a zero-length buffer, and this was causing problems on,
3884 e.g., Digital Unix.
3885
3886- Fix a case where the failover code was printing an error message
3887 when no error had occurred.
3888
3889- Fix a problem where when a server went down and back up again, the
3890 peer would not see a state transition and so would stay in the
3891 non-communicating state.
3892
3893- Be smart about going into recover_wait.
3894
3895- Fix a problem in the failover implementation where peers would fail
3896 to come into sync if interrupted in the RECOVER state. This could
3897 have been the cause of some problems people have reported recently.
3898
3899- Fix a problem with billing classes where they would not be unbilled
3900 when the client lease expired.
3901
3902- If select fails, figure out which descriptor is bad, and cut it out
3903 of the I/O loop. This prevents a potentially nasty spin. I
3904 haven't heard any report it in a while, but it came up consistently
3905 in testing.
3906
3907- Fix a bug in the relay agent where if you specified interfaces on
3908 the command line, it would fail.
3909
3910- Fix a couple of small bugs in the omapi connection object (no known
3911 user impact).
3912
3913- Add the missing 3.0 Beta 1 lease conversion script.
3914
3915- Read dhcp client script hooks if they exist, rather than only if
3916 they're executable.

3928- There is a known problem with the DHCP server doing failover on
3929 Compaq Alpha systems. This patchlevel is not a release candidate
3930 because of this bug. The bug should be straightforward to fix, so
3931 a new release candidate is expected shortly.
3932
3933- There is a known problem in the DDNS update code that is probably a
3934 bug, and is not, as far as we know, fixed in this patchlevel.

3958 checked. This may have been causing core dumps.
3959
3960- When parsing the lease file, if a lease declaration includes a
3961 billing class statement, and the lease already has a billing class,
3962 unbill the old class.
3963
3964- When processing failover transactions, where acks will be deferred,
3965 process the state transition immediately.
3966
3967- Don't try to use the new SIOCGIFCONF buffer size detection code on
3968 Linux 2.0, which doesn't provide this functionality.
3969
3970- Apply a patch suggested by Tuan Uong for a problem in dlpi.c.
3971
3972- Fix a problem in using the which command in the configure script.
3973
3974- Fix a parse error in the client when setting up an omapi listener.
3975
3976- Document the -n and -g flags to the client.
3977
3978- Make sure there is always a stdin and stdout on startup. This
3979 prevents shell scripts from accidentally writing error messages into
3980 configuration files that happen to be opened as stderr.
3981
3982- If an interface is removed, the client will now notice that it is
3983 gone rather than spinning. This has only been tested on NetBSD.
3984
3985- The client will attempt to get an address even if it can't create a
3986 lease file.
3987
3988- Don't overwrite tracefiles.
3989

4008 pl19.

4032
4033- Implement omshell, which can be used to do arbitrary things to the
4034 server (in theory). (Damien Neil)
4035
4036- Fix a case where if a client had two different leases the server could
4037 actually dereference the second one when it hadn't been referenced,
4038 leading to memory corruption and a core dump. (James Brister)
4039
4040- Fix a case where a client could request the address of another client's
4041 lease, but find_lease wouldn't detect that the other client had it, and
4042 would attempt to allocate it to the client, resulting in a lease conflict
4043 message.
4044
4045- Fix a case where a client with more than one client identifier could be
4046 given a lease where the hardware address was correct but the client
4047 identifier was not, resulting in a lease conflict message.
4048
98311e4b 4049- Fix a problem where the server could write out a colon-separated
3350f5b7
TL
4050 hex list as a value for a variable, which would then not parse.
4051 The fix is to always write strings as quoted strings, with any
4052 non-printable characters quoted as octal escape sequences. So
4053 a file written the old way still won't work, but new files written
4054 this way will work.
4055

TL
4056- Fix documentation for sending non-standard options.
4057
4058- Use unparsable names for unknown options. WARNING: this will
4059 break any configuration files that use the option-nnn convention.
4060 If you want to continue to use this convention for some options,
4061 please be sure to write a definition, like this:
4062
4063 option option-nnn code nnn = string;
4064
4065 You can use a descriptive name instead of option-nnn if you like.
4066
4067- Fix a problem where we would see a DHCPDISCOVER/DHCPOFFER/
4068 DHCPREQUEST/DHCPACK/DHCPREQUEST/DHCPNAK sequence. This was the
4069 result of a deceptively silly bug in supersede_lease.
4070

4072 Hermann Lauer.

TL
4084- Add support for transaction tracing. This allows the state of the
4085 DHCP server on startup, and all the subsequent transactions, to be
4086 recorded in a file which can then be played back to reproduce the
4087 behaviour of the DHCP server. This can be used to quickly
4088 reproduce bugs that cause core dumps or corruption, and also for
4089 tracking down memory leaks.
4090
4091- Incorporate some bug fixes provided by Joost Mulders for the DLPI
4092 package which should clear up problems people have been seeing on
4093 Solaris.
4094
4095- Fix bugs in the handling of options stored as linked lists (agent
4096 options, fqdn options and nwip options) that could cause memory
4097 corruption and core dumps.
4098
4099- Fix a bug in DHCPREQUEST handling that resulted in DHCPNAK messages
4100 not being send in some cases when they were needed.

4104- Make initial failover startup *much* faster. This was researched
4105 and implemented by Damien Neil.

4144
4145- Finish fixing a long-standing bug in the agent options code. This
4146 was causing core dumps and failing to operate correctly - in
4147 particular, agent option stashing wasn't working. Agent option
4148 stashing should now be working, meaning that agent options can be
4149 used in class statements to control address allocation.
4150
4151- Fix up documentation.

4157
4158- Fix a compile error on some older operating systems.

4161 transmitting packets to the server. Handy for debugging; not much
4162 practical use otherwise.

4173- Work around the Win98 DHCP client, which NUL-terminates the FQDN
4174 option.

4176- Work around Win98 and Win2k clients that will claim they want to do
4177 the update even when they don't have any way to do it.
4178
4179- Fix some log messages that can be printed when failover is operating
4180 that were not printing enough information.
4181
4182- It was possible for a DHCPDISCOVER to get an allocation even when
4183 the state machine said the server shouldn't be responding.
4184
4185- Don't load balance DHCPREQUESTs from clients in RENEWING and
4186 REBINDING, since in RENEWING, if we heard it, it's for us, and in
4187 REBINDING, the client wouldn't have got to REBINDING if its primary
4188 were answering.

4201 decoder that would prevent any key with an 'x' in its base64
4202 representation from working correctly.
4203
4204- Thanks to Chris Cheney and Michael Sanders, we have a fix for the
4205 hang that they both spotted in the DHCP server - when
4206 one-lease-per-client was set, the code to release the "other" lease
4207 could spin.
4208
4209- Fix a problem with alignment of the input buffer in bpf in cases
4210 where two packets arrive in the same bpf read.
4211
4212- Fix a problem where the relay agent would crash if you specified an
4213 interface name on the command line.
4214
4215- Add the ability to conditionalize client behaviour based on the
4216 client state.
4217
4218- Add support for the FQDN option, and added support for a new way of
4219 doing ddns updates (ddns update style interim) that allows more than
4220 one DHCP server to update the DNS for the same network(s). This
4221 was implemented by Damien Neil with some additional functionality
4222 added by Ted Lemon.
4223
4224- Damien added a "log" statement, so that the configuration file can
4225 be made to log debugging information and other information.
4226
4227- Fixed a bug that caused option buffers not to be terminated with an
4228 end option.
4229
4230- Fixed a long-standing bug in the support for option spaces where the
4231 options are stored as an ordered list rather than in a hash table,
4232 which could theoretically result in memory pool corruption.
4233
4234- Prevent hardware declarations with no actual hardware address from
4235 being written as something unparsable, and behave correctly in the
4236 face of a null hardware address on input.
4237
4238- Allow key names to be FQDNs, and qualify the algorithm name if it is
4239 specified unqualified.
4240
4241- Modify the DDNS update code so that it never prints the "resolver
4242 failed" message, but instead says *why* the resolver failed.
4243

4245 RFC.

4288 silently dropped.

4307- Fix a possible DoS attack where a client could cause the checksummer
4308 to dump core. This was a read, not a write, so it shouldn't be
4309 possible to exploit it any further than that.
4310
4311- Implement client- and server-side support for using the Client FQDN
4312 option.
4313
4314- Support for other option spaces in the client has been added. This
4315 means that it is now possible to define a vendor option space on the
4316 client, request options in that space from the server (which must
4317 define the same option space), and then use those options in the
4318 client. This also allows NWIP and Client FQDN options to be used
4319 meaningfully.
4320
4321- Add object initializer support. This means that objects can now be
4322 initialized to something other than all-zeros when allocated, which
4323 makes, e.g., the interface object support code a little more robust.
4324
4325- Fix an off-by-one bug in the host stuffer. This was causing host
4326 deletes not the work, and may also have been causing OMAPI
4327 connections to get dropped. Thanks to James Brister for tracking
4328 this one down!

4376 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 4
4377
4378- Incorporated Peter Marschall's proposed change to array/record
4379 parsing, which allows things like the slp-agent option to be encoded

4404
4405- In the DHCP client, execute client statements prior to using the values

4436
4437- Notice when SIOCFIGCONF returns more data than fit in the buffer -
