d618ba48 41 Changes since 4.3.0 (new features)
1e08558f 42
0ee00c5b
SR
43- Insert the raw data from a fully encapsualted option into the option cache.
44 This allows "exists" to check for the option if any sub options exist. It
45 also adds the raw data to the environment variables supplied to the client
46 script.
47 [ISC-Bugs #39863]
48
a53c9bf2
FD
49- Pass configure arguments which begin with an upper case letter, e.g.
50 CFLAGS, to the embedded bind configure, so it is no longer required
51 to use environment variables to get the same effect.
52 [ISC-Bugs #35143]
53
81f844d2
FD
54- Added --enable-kqueue, --enable-epoll, --enable-devpoll and a more
55 general --with-bind-extra-config to pass extra options to the
56 embedded bind configure. Note we had mixed experiences with this
54ee18cf 57 so it is at the user risk, i.e., they are NOT SUPPORTED yet.
f285576d 58 [ISC-Bugs #20890]
81f844d2 59
53c7a535
FD
60- Changed the way the embedded bind Makefile is updated by configure.
61 The only user visible side effect is that --with-libbind now requires
62 either "no" or an (absolute) path, i.e. "yes" is no longer valid.
63 [ISC-Bugs #43227]
64
d163c8f7
TM
65- Added the support for git repositories in the util/bind.sh script.
66 When you build ISC DHCP from a git repo, i.e., without a "bind"
67 directory populated as in the release distribution file, you may now
4b914743
FD
68 create the bind directory, change to it and clone the private
69 (repo.isc.org/proj/git/prod/bind9.git) or the public
290a7613 70 (https://source.isc.org/git/bind9.git) git repository into
d163c8f7 71 bind/bind9 and then invoke the util/bind.sh script as usual.
c4ea4af0
FD
72 Note this option is incompatible with "make dist" (and make "distcheck")
73 because no bind/bind.tar.gz nor bind/version.tmp files are available.
4b914743
FD
74 [ISC-Bugs #43236]
75
e94e7f23
FD
76- Use the embedded bind libraries where they are built (vs where they
77 are installed).
78 [ISC-Bugs #39319]
79
a1372bbe
FD
80- Use last version (9.11) of plain embedded bind libraries in place of
81 older (9.9) version of export bind libraries.
82 [ISC-Bugs #43215]
83
5a2e8c37 84- Using "make distcheck" now works with external bind libraries (aka
c4ea4af0
FD
85 configure --with-libbind).
86 [ISC-Bugs #43285]
87
3210786b
TM
88- The server now allows the client identifier (option 61) to own leases
89 in more than one subnet concurrently. Prior to this the server would
90 incorrectly release an existing lease in one subnet prior to assigning
91 a lease in another subnet. Note that the prior behavior can be still
92 be achieved by enabling one-lease-per-client. Thanks to both David Zych at
93 the University of Illinois and Norm Proffitt of Infoblox for reporting
94 the issue; and Norm for suggesting a solution.
95 [ISC-Bugs #41358]
96
f9741514
FD
97- Added --enable-bind-install to install embedded bind includes and
98 libraries. Default is to not install them (it was the previous
99 behavior). If you'd like to change the includedir and/or libdir
5a67b030
FD
100 installation directories to something different than for ISC DHCP
101 you must pass them using the --with-bind-extra-config configuration
102 arguments.
f9741514
FD
103 [ISC-Bugs #39318]
104
007ba82a
FD
105- Added support of dynamic shared libraries with libtool. A new
106 --enable-libtool configuration parameter is available but
107 should not be used directly: *please* read the build configuration
108 section in the README file for the recommended procedure.
109 [ISC-Bugs #29402]
110
417b7b4a
TM
111- IPv6 operation now supports an EUI-64 based address allocation which will
112 calculate addresses for clients with EUI-64 DUIDs based on those DUIDs when
113 enabled by setting use-eui-64 true. The parameter may defined down to the
114 pool scope. Note this feature must be compiled in by defining EUI_64 in
115 includes/site.h. This flag is undefined by default.
116 [ISC-Bugs #43927]
117
c8f0b32a
MS
118- Added new compile time option --with-srv-conf-file which specifies a
119 default location of the server configuration file.
120 [ISC-Bugs #44765]
121
a68ec967
MS
122- Added --dad-wait-time parameter to dhclient. It specifies the maximum time,
123 in seconds, that the client process should wait for the duplicate address
124 detection to complete before initiating DHCP requests. This value is
125 propagated to the dhclient script and the script is responsible for waiting
126 the specified amount of time or until DAD has completed. If the script does
127 not support it, specifying this parameter has no effect. The default value
128 is 0 which specifies that the script should not wait for DAD. With this
129 change the following scripts have been modified to support the new parameter:
130 freebsd, linux, macos, netbsd, openbsd.
131 [ISC-Bugs #36169]
132
251bb4b9 133- Modified DDNS support initialization such that DNS related ports will only be
ca22af89
TM
134 opened by the server (dhcpd) at startup if ddns-update-style is not "none";
135 by dhclient only if and when the it first attempts an update; and never by
136 dhcrelay. Prior to this all three always did the initialization at startup
137 which causes them to always open on and listen for traffic on two random
ff343a30 138 ports. Thanks to Rodney Beede for reporting the issue.
ca22af89
TM
139 [ISC-Bugs #45290]
140 [ISC-Bugs #33377]
141
8c785e79
TM
142- Added error logging to two memory allocation failure checks. Thanks to Bill
143 Parker (wp02855 at gmail dot com) for reporting the issue.
144 [ISC-Bugs #41185]
145
251bb4b9 146- Corrected a dhclient -6 issue that caused the client to crash with an
147 "Impossible condition" error after de-preferencing its only IA binding.
148 The crash occurred when server configuration changes rendered the existing
01bfe9c5
TM
149 binding out-of-range and no other leases were available to offer. Thanks
150 to Pierre Clerissi for bringing this issue to our attention.
251bb4b9 151 [ISC-Bugs #44373]
152
5c03ed37 153- By defining CALL_SCRIPT_ON_ONETRY_FAIL in includes/site.h, dhclient will
154 now call the script with reason set to FAIL when run with -1 (one try) and
155 there are no server responses. This applies to IPv4 mode only. Thanks for a
156 patch by Martin Pitt which got to us via Andrew Pollock.
a489cc48
TM
157 [ISC-bugs #18183]
158
6573afff 159- Linux script updated. The script is now based on Debian version. It uses
fbe81d8e
TM
160 ip tool from iproute2 package and ifconfig is no longer used. This also
161 addresses an issue of calling arping with inappropriate parameter.
6573afff 162 [ISC-bugs #19430]
fbe81d8e 163 [ISC-bugs #18111]
6573afff 164
30afd7db 165- The directory minires has been removed from the source tree. It has
c1beb003 166 long been obsolete for branches other than v4_1_esv. Additionally,
30afd7db
TM
167 includes/minires.h was renamed includes/ns_name.h.
168 [ISC-bugs #45471]
169
b3e6fd51
TM
170- The directory includes/isc-dhcp and it's only occupant, dst.h, have
171 been removed from the source tree. They are obsolete for branches
172 other than v4_1_esv.
173 [ISC-bugs #45541]
174
7512d88b
TM
175- Replaced ISC licensing with Mozilla Public License, MPL 2.0 licensing
176 throughout. Please see https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/MPL/2.0/ to read
177 the MPL 2.0 license terms.

216 [ISC-Bugs #24580]
a5252220 217
d618ba48
SR

232 when a server, relay or client are killed.
233 [ISC-Bugs #16970]
234 [ISC-Bugs #17258]
10b7683e 235
d618ba48
SR

237 In addition to checking for dhcpc check for bootpc in the services list.
238 [ISC-Bugs #18933]
239 Correct the client code to only try to get a lease once when the
240 given the "-1" argument.
241 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the bug report and fix.

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

305- Disable the gentle shutdown functionality until we can determine
306 the best way to present it to remove or reduce the side effects.
307 [ISC-Bugs #36066]
646acb59 308
d618ba48
SR
309- Modify the message displayed when a process hits a fatal error.
310 The new message is much shorter and simply points to the README
311 and our website for directions on bug submissions.
312 [ISC-Bugs #24789]
18ba0ff3 313
d618ba48
SR
314- Handle an absent resolv.conf file better.

348 compilers that was introduced by #36712
a3471269 349
d618ba48
SR
350- Server now supports a failover split value of 256.
351 [ISC-Bugs] #36664]
3e3b5257 352
d618ba48
SR
353- Remove unneeded error #defines. These defines were included in case
354 external programs required the older versions of the macro. They
355 have been #ifdeffed for now and will be removed at a future date.
356 See site.h for the #define to include them again, but you should
357 switch to using the DHCP_R_* versions instead of the ISC_R_* versions.
358 Also ISC_R_MULTIPLE has been removed as it is also defined in bind.
359 [ISC-Bugs #37128]
ba4c704d 360
d618ba48
SR
361- Added checks in range6 and prefix6 statement parsing to ensure addresses
362 are within the declared subnet. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the
363 bug report and patch.
364 [ISC-Bugs #32453]

b1eea858 369
d618ba48
SR
370- Addressed checksum issues:
371 Added checksum readiness check to Linux packet filtering which eliminates
372 invalid packet drops due to checksum errors when checksum offloading is
373 in use. Based on dhcp-4.2.2-xen-checksum.patch made to the Fedora project.

383 [ISC-Bugs #25587]
36c4a037 384
d618ba48
SR
385- Added the echo-client-id configuration parameter to the server configuration.
386 The server now supports RFC 6842 compliant behavior by setting a new
387 configuration parameter, echo-client-id. When enabled, the server will
388 include the client identifier option (Option code 61) if received, in its
389 responses. The server identifier returned in NAKs (if enabled) will now
390 be the globally defined value (if one) if the server cannot attribute the
391 inbound request to a known subnet.
392 [ISC-Bugs #35958]
393 [ISC-Bugs #32545]
41b5a1a6 394
d618ba48
SR
395- Added support of the configuration parameter, use-host-decl-names, to
396 BOOTP request handling.
397 [ISC-Bugs #36233]
62a9eb91 398
d618ba48
SR
399- Added logic to ignore the signal, SIGPIPE, which ensures write failures
400 will be delivered as errors rather than as SIGPIPE signals on all OSs.
401 Thanks to Marius Tomaschewski from SUSE who reported the issue and provided
402 the patch upon which the fix is based.
403 [ISC-Bugs #32222]
b7311aae 404
d618ba48
SR

406 when the servers are dealing with POTENTIAL-CONFLICT. This patch allows
407 the primary to accept the secondary moving from POTENTIAL-CONFLICT to
408 RESOLUTION-INTERRUPTED as well as handling the bind update process better.

410 modified to send requests more often.

414- By default, the server will now choose the value to use in the forward DNS
415 name from the following in order of preference:
1d3fc4d0 416

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

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

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

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

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

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

703- Unit test execution now uses a path augmented during configuration
704 processing of the --with-atf option to locate ATF runtime tools, atf-run
705 and atf-report. For most installations of ATF, this should alleviate the

707 If the configure script cannot locate the tools it will emit a warning,
708 informing the user that the tools must be in the PATH when running unit
709 tests.
710 Secondly, please note that "make check" will now exit with a failure status
711 code (non-zero) if one or more unit tests fail. This means that invoking
712 "make check" from an upper level directory will cause the make process to
713 STOP after the first test subdirectory with failed test(s). To force all

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

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

1131- If a client renews before 'dhcp-cache-threshold' percent of its lease
1132 has elapsed (default 25%), the server will reuse the allocated lease
1133 (provide a lease within the currently allocated lease-time) rather
1134 than extend or renew the lease. This absolves the server of needing
1135 to perform an fsync() operation on the lease database before reply,
1136 which improves performance. [ISC-Bugs #22228]
80778e94 1137 Updated this patch to support asynchronous DDNS. If the server is
adb95d23 1138 attempting to do DDNS on a lease it should be updated and written to

1153 can parse v4 lease files and output the lease information in a more
1154 human friendly manner. This was written by Christian Hammers with
1155 some updates by vom and ISC. This is contributed code and is not

1165- Update the DDNS code to current standards and allow for sharing
1166 of DDNS entries between v4 and v6 clients. The new code is used
1167 if the ddns-update-style is set to "standard", the older code is
1168 still available if ddns-update-style is set to "interim". The
1169 oldest DDNS code "ad-hoc" has been removed. Thanks to Thomas Pegeot

SR
1174- Add a configuration option to the server to suppress using fsync().
1175 Enabling this option will mean that fsync() is never called. This
1176 may provide better performance but there is also a risk that a lease
1177 will not be properly written to the disk after it has been issued
1178 to a client and before the server stops. Using this option is
1179 not recommended.

1183 to serve. One statement is emitted after the server has finished
1184 reading its files and is about to enter the dispatch loop.
1185 This is "Server starting service.".
1186 The second is emitted when a server determines that both it and
1187 its failover peer are in the normal state.

SR
1201 some functionality that was lost in the transition to asynchronous

1207- Add support for specifying the address from which to send
1208 DDNS updates on the DHCP server. There are two new options
1209 "ddns-local-address4" and "ddns-local-address6" that each take
1210 one instance of their respective address types.

SR
1213- Add ignore-client-uids option in the server. This option causes
1214 the server to not record a client's uid in its lease. This
1215 violates the specification but may also be useful when a client
1216 can dual boot using different client ids but the same mac address.

SR
1226- Extend the hardware expression to look into the lease structure
1227 for a hardware address if there is no packet. This allows the
1228 server to find the hardware address during on-expiry processing.

SR
1237- When using 'ignore client-updates;', the FQDN returned to the client
1238 is no longer truncated to one octet.

01a44a77 1240- Cleaned up an unused hardware address variable in nak_lease().
4889a646 1241

SR
1242- Manpage entries for the ia-pd and ia-prefix options were updated to
1243 reflect support for prefix delegation.
4889a646 1244
01a44a77 1245- Cleaned up some compiler warnings
7dc4e69c 1246
01a44a77
SR
1247- An optimization described in the failover protocol draft is now included,
1248 which permits a DHCP server operating in communications-interrupted state
1249 to 'rewind' a lease to the state most recently transmitted to its peer,
1250 greatly increasing a server's endurance in communications-interrupted.
1251 This is supported using a new 'rewind state' record on the dhcpd.leases
1252 entry for each lease.
c5bc8b1a 1253
01a44a77 1254- Fix the trace code which was broken by the changes to the DDNS code.
d0a10f6a 1255
01a44a77
SR
1256- Update the fsync code to work with the changes to the DDNS code. It now
1257 uses a timer instead of noticing if there are no more packets to process.

01a44a77
SR
1259- When constructing the DNS name structure from a text string append
1260 the root to relative names. This satisfies a requirement in the DNS
1261 library that names be absolute instead of relative and prevents DHCP
1262 from crashing. [ISC-Bugs #21054]

SR
1264- "The LDAP Patch" that has been circulating for some time, written by
1265 Brian Masney and S.Kalyanasundraram and maintained for application to
1266 the DHCP-4 sources by David Cantrell has been included. Please be
1267 advised that these sources were contributed, and do not yet meet the
1268 high standards we place on production sources we include by default.
1269 As a result, the LDAP features are only included by using a compile-time
1270 option which defaults off, and if you enable it you do so under your
1271 own recognizance. We will be improving this software over time.

1277! Accept a client id of length 0 while hashing. Previously the server would
1278 exit if it attempted to hash a zero length client id, providing attackers
1279 with a simple denial of service attack. [ISC-Bugs #21253]

SR
1284- Modify the exception handling for initial context creation. Previously
1285 we would try and clean up before exiting. This could present problems
1286 when the cleanup required part of the context that wasn't available. It
1287 also didn't do much as we exited afterwards anyway. Now we simply log
1288 the error and exit. [ISC-Bugs #21093]
ad4001ce 1289
01a44a77
SR
1290- A bug was fixed that could cause the DHCPv6 server to advertise/assign a
1291 previously allocated (active) lease to a client that has changed subnets,
1292 despite being on different shared networks. Dynamic prefixes specifically
1293 allocated in shared networks also now are not offered if the client has
1294 moved. [ISC-Bugs #21152]

SR
1301- Modify the determination of the default TTL to use for DDNS updates.
1302 The user may still configure the ttl via ddns-ttl. The default for
1303 both v4 and v6 is now 1/2 the (preferred) lease time with a limit. The
1304 previous defaults (1/2 lease time without a limit for v4 and a default
1305 value for v6) may be used by defining USE_OLD_DDNS_TTL in site.h

1329- 'get-host-names true;' now also works even if 'use-host-decl-names true;'

01a44a77
SR
1419- Handle pipe failures more gracefully. Some OSes pass a SIGPIPE
1420 signal to a process and will kill the process if the signal isn't
1421 caught. This patch adds code to turn off the SIGPIPE signal via
1422 a setsockopt() call. The signal is already being ignored as part
1423 of the ISC library. [ISC-Bugs #22269]

SR
1425- Restore printing of values in omshell to the style pre 21585. For
1426 21585 we changed the print routines to always display time values
1427 as a hex list. This had a side effect of printing all data strings

1462 an address that is tagged as abandoned (meaning we received a

1507
1508- 'dhclient' no longer waits a random interval after first starting up to
1509 begin in the INIT state. This conforms to RFC 2131, but elects not to
9a111ee8 1510 implement a 'SHOULD' direction in section 4.1. The goal of this change
73c83820 1511 is to start up faster. [ISC-Bugs #19660]
9a111ee8

1512
1513- Added 'initial-delay' parameter that specifies maximum amount of time
1514 before client goes to the INIT state. The default value is 0. In previous
1515 versions of the code client could wait up to 5 seconds. The old behavior
5d082abd 1516 may be restored by using 'initial-delay 5;' in the client config file.

1518
1519- ICMP ping-check should now sit closer to precisely the number of seconds
1520 configured (or default 1), due to making use of the new microsecond
1521 scale timer internally to dhcpd. This corrects a bug where the server
1522 may immediately timeout an ICMP ping-check if it was made late in the

1525- The DHCP client will schedule renewal and rebinding events in
1526 microseconds if the DHCP server provided a lease-time that would result
1527 in sub-1-second timers. This corrects a bug where a 2-second or lower
1528 lease-time would cause the DHCP client to enter an infinite loop by
73c83820 1529 scheduling renewal at zero seconds. [ISC-Bugs #19660]
5d082abd
TM
1530
1531- Client lease records are recorded at most once every 15 seconds. This
1532 keeps the client from filling the lease database disk quickly on very small
73c83820 1533 lease times. [ISC-Bugs #19660]
5d082abd
TM
1534
1535- To defend against RFC 2131 non-compliant DHCP servers which fail to
1536 advertise a lease-time (either mangled, or zero in value) the DHCP
1537 client now adds the server to the reject list ACL and returns to INIT
1538 state to hopefully find an RFC 2131 compliant server (or retry in INIT
73c83820 1539 forever). [ISC-Bugs #19660]

1548
1549- The DHCP server now responds to DHCPLEASEQUERY messages from agents using
1550 IP addresses not covered by a subnet in configuration. Whether or not to
1551 respond to such an agent is still governed by the 'allow leasequery;'
1552 configuration parameter, in the case of an agent not covered by a configured
1553 subnet the root configuration area is examined. Server now also returns
1554 vendor-class-id option, if client sent it. [ISC-Bugs #21094]

1662! Modify the DDNS handling code. In a previous patch we added logging
1663 code to the DDNS handling. This code included a bug that caused it
1664 to attempt to dereference a NULL pointer and eventually segfault.
1665 While reviewing the code as we addressed this problem, we determined
1666 that some of the updates to the lease structures would not work as
1667 planned since the structures being updated were in the process of
1668 being freed: these updates were removed. In addition we removed an
1669 incorrect call to the DDNS removal function that could cause a failure
1670 during the removal of DDNS information from the DNS server.

1773! Previously the server code was relaxed to allow packets with zero
1774 length client ids to be processed. Under some situations use of
1775 zero length client ids can cause the server to go into an infinite
1776 loop. As such ids are not valid according to RFC 2132 section 9.14
1777 the server no longer accepts them. Client ids with a length of 1
1778 are also invalid but the server still accepts them in order to
1779 minimize disruption. The restriction will likely be tightened in
1780 the future to disallow ids with a length of 1.

DH
1943- Failover port configuration can now be left to defaults (port 647) as
1944 described in the -12 revision of the Failover draft (and assigned by
4b97eaff 1945 IANA). Thanks in part to a patch from David Cantrell at Red Hat.

DH
1947- If configured, dhclient may now transmit to an anycast MAC address,
1948 rather than using a broadcast address. Thanks to a patch from David
1949 Cantrell at Red Hat.
1950
8a3c1e33
PS
1951- Added client support for setting interface MTU and metric, thanks to
1952 Roy "UberLord" Marples <roy@marples.name>.
1953
a41d7a25
PS
1954- Added client -D option to specify DUID type to send.
1955
9e3eb22a
DH
1956- A new failover configuration parameter has been introduced for those
1957 environments where DHCP servers can be reasonably guaranteed to be
1958 "down" when the failover TCP socket is severed, "auto-partner-down".
1959 This parameter is not generally safe, and by default is disabled, so
1960 please carefully review the documentation of this parameter in the
1961 dhcpd.conf(5) manpage before determining to use it yourself.
1962
33ea4622
DH
1963- Added a configuration function, 'gethostname()', which calls the system
1964 function of the same name and presents the results as a data expression.
1965 This function can be used to incorporate the system level hostname of
1966 the system the DHCP software is operating on in responses or queries (such
1967 as including a failover partner's hostname in a dhcp message or binding
1968 scope, or having a DHCP client send any system hostname in the host-name or
1969 FQDN options by default).
1970
5a671e87
DH
1971- The dhcp-renewal-time and dhcp-rebinding-time options may now be configured
1972 for DHCPv4 operation and used independently of the dhcp-lease-time
1973 calculations. Invalid renew and rebinding times (e.g., greater than the
1974 determined lease time) are omitted.
1975
adb95d23 1976- Processing the DHCP to DNS server transactions in an asynchronous fashion,
45adf35c 1977 the DHCP server or client can now continue with its processing while
98bf1607 1978 awaiting replies from the DNS server.
c900c5b2
DH
1979
1980- The 'hardware [ethernet|etc] ...;' parameter in host records has been
1981 extended to attempt to match DHCPv6 clients by the last octets of a
1982 DUID-LL or DUID-LLT provided by the client.

1989
47e6eb82
DH
1990- The notorious 'option <unknown> ... larger than buffer' log line,
1991 which is seen in some malformed DHCP client packets, was modified.
1992 It now logs the universe name, and does not log the length values
1993 (which are bogus corruption read from the packet anyway). It also
1994 carries a hopefully more useful explanation.
1995
159c89d7
EH
1996- Suppress spurious warnings from configure about --datarootdir
1997
1aa0fe5e
DH
1998- A bug was fixed that caused the server not to answer some valid Solicit
1999 and Request packets, if the dynamic range covering any requested addresses
2000 had been deleted from configuration.
2001
cd51403d
SR
2002- Update the code to deal with GCC 4.3. This included two sets of changes.
2003 The first is to the configuration files to include the use of
571c38b0 2004 AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS. The second is to deal with return values that
cd51403d

2005 were being ignored.

2010 free not on its queue' error messages, thanks to a patch from Frode
2011 Nordahl.

PS
2013- Fix a build error in dhcrelay, using older versions of gcc with
2014 dhcpv6 disabled.
2015
8d7dca58 2016- Two uninitialized stack structures are now memset to zero, thanks to a
4b97eaff 2017 patch from David Cantrell at Red Hat.

DH
2019- Fixed a cosmetic bug where pretty-printing valid domain-search options would
2020 result in an erroneous error log message ('garbage in format string').
2021
f9453d21
DH
2022- A bug in DLPI packet transmission (Solaris, HP/UX) that caused the server
2023 to stop receiving packets is fixed. The same fix also means that the MAC
2024 address will no longer appear 'bogus' on DLPI-based systems.
2025
2026- A bug in select handling was discovered where the results of one select()
2027 call were discarded, causing the server to process the next select() call
2028 and use more system calls than required. This has been repaired - the
2029 sockets will be handled after the first return from select(), resulting in
2030 fewer system calls.
2031
a3dcc0b1
DH
2032- The update-conflict-detection feature would leave an FQDN updated without
2033 a DHCID (still currently implemented as a TXT RR). This would cause later
2034 expiration or release events to fail to remove the domain name. The feature
2035 now also inserts the client's up to date DHCID record, so records may safely
2036 be removed at expiration or release time. Thanks to a patch submitted by
2037 Christof Chen.
2038
95fd7038
DH
2039- Memory leak in the load_balance_mine() function is fixed. This would
2040 leak ~20-30 octets per DHCPDISCOVER packet while failover was in use
2041 and in normal state.
2042
2043- Various compilation fixes have been included for the memory related
2044 DEBUG #defines in includes/site.h.
2045
8a3c1e33
PS
2046- Fixed Linux client script 'unary operator expected' errors with DHCPv6.
2047
2048- Fixed setting hostname in Linux hosts that require hostname argument
2049 to be double-quoted. Also allow server-provided hostname to
2050 override hostnames 'localhost' and '(none)'.
2051

DH
2052- Fixed failover reconnection retry code to continue to retry to reconnect
2053 rather than restarting the listener.

DH
2055- Compilation on Solaris with USE_SOCKETS defined in includes/site.h has
2056 been repaired. Other USE_ overrides should work better.
2057
2058- A check for the local flavor of IFNAMSIZ had a broken 'else' condition,
2059 that probably still resulted in the correct behaviour (but wouldn't use
2060 a larger defined value provided by the host OS).
2061
350576c5
DH
2062- Fixed a bug where an OMAPI socket disconnection message would not result
2063 in scheduling a failover reconnection, if the link had not negotiated a
2064 failover connect yet (e.g.: connection refused, asynch socket connect()
2065 timeouts).
2066

DH
2067- A bug was fixed that caused the 'conflict-done' state to fail to be parsed
2068 in failover state records.
2069
8a4e543b
DH
2070! A stack overflow vulnerability was fixed in dhclient that could allow
2071 remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands as root on the system,
2072 or simply terminate the client, by providing an over-long subnet-mask
1b12d999 2073 option. CERT VU#410676 - CVE-2009-0692
8a4e543b 2074

2076 processing a DHCPINFORM.

1b12d999
DH
2078- Versions 3.0.x syntax with multiple name->code option definitions is now
2079 supported. Note that, similarly to 3.0.x, for by-code lookups only the
2080 last option definition is used.
2081
d453265f
PS
2082- Fixed a bug where a time difference of greater than 60 seconds between a
2083 failover pair could cause the primary to crash on contact with the
2084 secondary. Thanks to a patch from Steinar Haug.
2085
3e29af1e
PS
2086- Don't look for IPv6 interfaces on Linux when running in DHCPv4 mode.
2087 Thanks to patches from Matthew Newton and David Cantrell.
2088
b8d45c67
DH
2089- Secondary servers in a failover pair will now perform ddns removals if
2090 they had performed ddns updates on a lease that is expiring, or was
2091 released through the primary. As part of the same fix, stale binding scopes
2092 will now be removed if a change in identity of a lease's active client is
2093 detected, rather than simply if a lease is noticed to have expired (which it
2094 may have expired without a failover server noticing in some situations).
2095
583c1c16
DH
2096- A patch supplied by David Cantrell at RedHat was applied that detects
2097 invalid calling parameters given to the ns_name_ntop() function.
2098 Specifically, it detects if the caller passed a pointer and size pair
2099 that causes the pointer to integer-wrap past zero.
2100
e4e3a2ab
DH
2101! Fixed a fenceposting bug when a client had two host records configured,
2102 one using 'uid' and the other using 'hardware ethernet'. CVE-2009-1892
95f5d38c 2103
875e99dc
SR
2104- Fixed the check in the dhcp_interface_signal_handler routine to verify
2105 the existence of the linked signal handler before calling it.
2106
2267da84
DH
2107- Both host and subnet6 configuration groups are now included whether a
2108 fixed-address6 (DHCPv6) is in use or not. Host scoped configuration takes
2109 precedence. This fixes two bugs, one where host scoped configuration
2110 would not be included from a non-fixed-address6 host record, and the equal
2111 and opposite bug where subnet6 scoped configuration would not be used when
571c38b0 2112 over-riding values were not present in a matching fixed-address6 host
2267da84
DH
2113 configuration.
2114
cd3f0b9b
DH
2115- ./configure now checks to ensure the intX_t and u_intX_t types are defined,
2116 correcting a compilation failure when using Sun's compiler.
2117
0493fdca
SR
2118- Modified the handling of a connection to avoid releasing the omapi io
2119 object for the connection while it is still in use. One symptom from
2120 this error was a segfault when a failover secondary attempted to connect
2121 to the failover primary if their clocks were not synchronized.
2122
95bba8b6
SR
2123- Clean up to allow compilation with gcc 2.95.4 on FreeBSD. Remove an
2124 extra semi-colon from common/dns.c and moved setting a variable to NULL
2125 in server/dhcpv6.c to allow the compiler to decide that the variable
9a111ee8 2126 was always properly set.

a4ffedd1
DH
2133 Changes since 4.1.0a2
2134
2135- A cosmetic bug in DHCPDECLINE processing was fixed which caused all
2136 successful DHCPDECLINEs to be logged as "not found" rather than
2137 "abandoned".
2138
6ff3b26d
FD
2139- Added configuration file examples for DHCPv6.
2140
1387545f
DH
2141- Some failover debugging #defines have been better defined and some
2142 high frequency messages moved to a deeper debugging symbol.
2143
2144- The CLTT parameter in failover is now only updated by client activity,
2145 and not by failover binding updates (taking on the peer's CLTT).
2146
2147- Failover BNDUPD messages are now discarded if they conflict with an
d7ac7a27 2148 update that has been transmitted, but not acknowledged.
1387545f 2149
399d3dbe
DH
2150- A bug cleaning up unknown-xxx temporary option definitions was fixed.
2151
fbcee149
DH
2152- Delayed-ack is now a compile-time option, compiled out by default.
2153 This feature is simply too experimental for right now, and causes
2154 some problems to some failover installations. We will revisit this
2155 in future releases.
2156
f1672d89
DH
2157- The !inet_pton() call in res_mkupdrec was adjusted to '<= 0' as
2158 inet_pton returns either 1, 0, or -1.
2159
236d3a99
DH
2160- A dhclient-script for MacOS X has been included, which enables
2161 'dhclient -6' support.
2162
efa5e6b9
DH
2163- DDNS removal routines were updated so that the DHCID is not removed until
2164 the client has been deprived of all A and AAAA records (not only the last
2165 one of either of those). This resolves a bug where dual stack clients
2166 would not be able to regain their names after either expiration event.
2167

2172- Fixed a bug that caused some request types to be logged incorrectly.
2173
20210a7b
EH
2174- Clients that sent a parameter request list containing the
2175 routers option before the subnet mask option were receiving
2176 only the latter. Fixed.

535485df
EH
2178- The server wasn't always sending the FQDN option when it should.

8fbb55ff
DH
2180- A partner-down failover server no longer emits 'peer holds all free leases'
2181 if it is able to newly-allocate one of the peer's leases.

61220a00
EH
2183- Fixed a coredump when adding a class via OMAPI.

c40e954c
EH
2185- Check whether files are zero length before trying to parse them.

63971a83
DH
2187- Ari Edelkind's PARANOIA patch has been included and may be compiled in
2188 via two ./configure parameters, --enable-paranoia and
2189 --enable-early-chroot.
2190
66cebfcb
DH
2191- ./configure was extended to cover many optional build features, such
2192 as failover, server tracing, debugging, and the execute() command.
2193
f8cbf390
DH
2194- There is now a default 1/4 of a second scheduled delay between delayed
2195 fsync()'s, it can be configured by the max-ack-delay configuration
2196 parameter.
2197
8269561d
DH
2198- A bug was fixed where the length of a hostname was miscalculated, so that
2199 hosts were given odd-looking domain names ("foo.bar.ba.example.com").
2200
b445a411
DH
2201- Shared network selection should be done from the innermost relay
2202 valid link-address field, rather than the outermost.

bd72740e
FD
2204- Prefix pools are attached to shared network scopes.

8dea7ba7
FD
2208- Add DHCPv6 files in configure.

4619c0a2
DH
2210- A memory leak when using omapi has been fixed.
2211
9ac4206a
DH
2212- DHCPv6 vendor-class options (VSIO) are now only sent when they appear
2213 on the DHCPv6 ORO. This resolves a bug where VSIO options were placed
2214 in IA_NA encapsulated options fields.
2215
420d8b3f
FD
2216- Integrated client with stateless, temporary address and prefix delegation
2217 support.

7de20a95
EH
2226- Merge DHCPv6-only "dhcrelay6" into general-purpose "dhcrelay" (use
2227 "-6" option to select DHCPv6 mode).
2228
d352732e
EH
2229- Fix handling of -A and -a flags in dhcrelay; it was failing to expand
2230 packet size as needed to add relay agent options.
2231
7d6180be
DH
2232- A bug in subnet6 parsing where options contained in subnet6 clauses would
2233 not be applied to clients addressed within that network was repaired.
2234
2235- When configuring a "subnet {}" or "subnet6 {}" without an explicit
2236 shared-network enclosing it, the DHCP software would synthesize a
2237 shared-network to contain the subnet. However, all configuration
2238 parameters within the subnet more intuitively belong "to any client
2239 on that interface", or rather the synthesized shared-network. So,
2240 when a shared-network is synthesized, it is used to contain the
2241 configuration present inside the subnet {} clause. This means that
2242 the configuration will be valid for all clients on that network, not
2243 just those addressed out of the stated subnet. If you intended the
2244 opposite, the workaround is to explicitly configure an empty
2245 shared-network.
2246
2247- A bug was fixed where Information-Request processing was not sourcing
2248 configured option values.
2249
2250- A warning was added since the DHCPv6 processing software does not yet
2251 support class statements.
2252
adb95d23 2253- Compilation warnings on GCC 4.3 relating to bootp source address
dd484ced
DH
2254 selection were repaired.
2255
ecddae64
DH
2256- The v6 BSD socket method was updated to use a single UDP BSD socket
2257 no matter how many interfaces are involved, differentiating the
2258 interfaces the packets were received on by the interface index supplied
2259 by the OS.
2260
2261- The relay agent no longer listens to the All DHCP Servers Multicast
2262 address.
2263
2264- A bug was fixed in data_string_sprintfa() where va_start was only called
2265 once for two invocations of vsprintf() variants.

d104d45b
DH
2267- ERO (RFC 4994) server support.
2268
2269- Basic and partial DHCPv6 leasequery support.
2270
2271- Reliable DHCPv6 release (previous behavior, send release and exit, is
2272 still available with dhclient -6 -1 -r).

4cafb815 2278- Added explicit parser support for zero-length DHCP options, such as
6d7f9584 2279 rapid-commit, via format code 'Z'.
4cafb815 2280
022fe95e
EH
2281- It's now possible to update the "ends" field of a lease with OMAPI.
2282 This is useful if you want not only to release a lease, but also make
2283 it available for reuse right away. Hat tip to Christof Chen.
2284
9a111ee8 2285- Fixed definition of the iaaddr hash functions to use the correct
1dcc3612

0674055a
FD
2290- Allocated interface IDs are better controlled ('u' bit set to zero,
2291 reserved IDs avoided).
2292
b51c785f
FD
2293- Unicast options are taken into account only for RENEWs.
2294
900405e9
FD
2295- NoAddrsAvail answers to SOLICITs are always ADVERTISEs even when a SOLICIT
2296 carries a rapid-commit option.
2297
96b620e5
FD
2298- Return in place of raise an impossible condition when one tries to release
2299 an empty active lease.
2300
be62cf06
FD
2301- Timer granularity is now 1/100s in the DHCPv6 client.
2302
01a54c17
EH
2303- The dhclient-script was updated to create a host route for the default
2304 gateway if the supplied subnet mask for an IPv4 address was a /32. This
2305 allows the client to work in 'captive' network environments, where the
2306 operator does not want clients to crosstalk directly.
2307
adb95d23 2308- MINUS tokens should be parsable again.
01a54c17
EH
2309
2310- Multiple (up to "delayed-ack x;" maximum) DHCPv4 packets are now queued and
2311 released in bursts after single fsync() events when the upper limit is
2312 reached or if the receiving sockets go dry. The practical upshot is
2313 that fsync-coupled server performance is now multiplicitively increased.
2314 The default delayed ack limit is 28. Thanks entirely to a patch from
2315 Christof Chen.
2316
2317 Changes since 4.0.0 (bug fixes)
2318
2319- DHCP now builds on AIX.
2320
2321- Exit with warning when DHCPv6-specific statements are used in the
2322 config file but -6 is not specified.
2323
2324- Fixed "--version" flag in dhcrelay
2325
2326- The 'min-secs' configuration parameter's log message has been updated to
2327 be more helpful.
2328
2329- The warning logged when an address range doesn't fit in the subnets
2330 they were declared has been updated to be more helpful and identify the
2331 typo in configuration that created the spanning addresses.
2332
2333- A bug in failover pool rebalancing that caused POOLREQ message ping-pongs
2334 was repaired.
2335
2336- A flaw in failover pool rebalancing that could cause POOLREQ messages to
2337 be sent outside of the min-balance/max-balance scheduled intervals has
2338 been repaired.
2339
2340- A cosmetic bug during potential-conflict recovery that caused the peer's
2341 'conflict-done' state message to be logged as 'unknown-state' has been
2342 repaired. It is now logged correctly.
2343
49f61135
DH
2344- A bug was fixed where the 'giaddr' may be used to find the client's subnet
2345 rather than its own 'ciaddr'.

41d4652f
DH
2347- A log message was introduced to clarify the situation where a failover
2348 'address' parameter (the server's local address) did not resolve to an
2349 IPv4 address.

2351- The minimum site code value was set to 224 in 3.1.0 to track RFC3942. This
2352 broke a lot of legacy site local configurations. The new code in place will
2353 track site local space minimum option codes and logs a warning to encourage
2354 updates and exploration of site local code migration problems. Option
2355 codes less than 128 in site local spaces remain inaccessible.
2356
2357- A possible relay agent option bug was repaired where random server
2358 initialization state may have been used to signal the relay agent
2359 information options sub-option code for the 'END' of the option space.

c4d29896
SK
2363- Fixes to allow code to compile on Mac OS X Leopard (10.5).
2364
57fcb8d9
SK
2365- When server is configured with options that it overrides, a warning is
2366 issued when the configuration file is read, rather than at the time the
2367 option is overridden. This was important, because the warning was given
9a111ee8 2368 every time the option was overridden, which could create a lot of
57fcb8d9
SK
2369 unnecessary logging.
2370
219a65eb
DH
2371- Fixed a compilation problems on platforms that define a value for FDDI,
2372 which conflicts with a dhcp configuration syntax token by the same name.
2373
ffdf3c8c
DH
2374- When a failover server suspects it has encountered a peer running a
2375 version 3.0.x failover server, a warning that the failover wire protocol
2376 is incompatible is printed.
2377
2378- The failover server no longer issues a floating point error if it encounters
2379 a previously undefined option code.

2381- Fix startup error messages to report a missing "subnet6 declaration", rather
2382 than a missing "subnet declaration", when running as a DHCPv6 server.
2383
9a111ee8 2384- DHCPv6 client timestamp in DUID was based on the year 1970 rather
7e9f7a1b

2395- The reverse dns name for PTR updates on IPv6 addresses has been fixed to
2396 use ip6.arpa. rather than default to in-addr.arpa and require user
2397 configuration.
76db44f9 2398
e32529a5
EH
2399- dhc6_lease_destroy() and dhc6_ia_destroy() now set lease and IA pointers
2400 to NULL after freeing, to prevent subsequent accesses to freed memory.
2401
9a111ee8 2402- The DHCPv6 server would not send the preference option unless the
76db44f9
SK
2403 client requested it, via the ORO. This has been fixed, so the DHCPv6
2404 server will always send the preference value if it is configured.
e4a6be15 2405
9a111ee8
TM
2406- When addresses were passed as hints to the server in an IA, they were
2407 incorrectly handled, sometimes being treated as an error. Now the
6f76de58
SK
2408 server will treat these as hints and ignore them if it cannot supply
2409 a requested address.
2410
703873ab
DH
2411- If the client had multiple addresses, and one expired (was not renewed
2412 by the server), the client would continue to attempt to renew the same
2413 old address over and over. Now, the client will omit any expired
2414 addresses from future Confirm, Renew, or Rebind messages.
2415
2416- dhclient -6 will now select renew/rebind timers based upon the longest
2417 address expiration time rather than the shortest expiration time, in
2418 order to avoid cascading renewals in the event a server elects not to
2419 extend one of multiple IAADDR leases.
2420
b024480e
DH
2421- The server now limits clients that request multiple addresses to one
2422 address per IA by default, which can be adjusted through the
2423 "limit-addrs-per-ia" configuration option.
2424
c0216cb7

2425- The DHCPv6 client now issues fresh transaction IDs on Renew and Rebind
2426 message exchanges, rather than using the most recent ID.

2441- ./configure now autodetects local database locations rather than trying
2442 to put dhcpd.leases and dhclient.leases in /usr/local/var/db, which no
2443 one ever has.

2457- Relative time may now be used as a qualifier for 'allow' and 'deny' access
2458 control lists. These directives may be used to assist in re-addressing
2459 address pools without having to constantly reconfigure the server. Please
2460 see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more information on allow/deny 'after time' syntax.

75135a3f 2469- Use different paths for PID and lease files when running in DHCPv4
adb95d23 2470 or DHCPv6 mode, so that servers for both protocols can be run
75135a3f

2474 of service under unusual server configurations

9a111ee8 2493- The DHCP server no longer requires a "ddns-update-style" statement,

SK
2494 and now defaults to "none", which means DNS updates are disabled.

2506- Fixed a ./configure bug where compile tests were failing due to
2507 "-Werror" (unused variable) rather than the actual test failure. Lead
2508 to inconsistent and unworkable auto-configurations.

DH
2515- DHCPv6 server Confirm message processing has been enhanced - it no
2516 longer replies only to clients with host {} records, it now replies
2517 as directed in RFC3315 section 18.2.2 - that is, to all clients
2518 regardless of the existence of bindings.

2521
7285af30
DH
2522- DDNS updates state information are now stored in 'binding scopes' that
2523 follow the leases through their lifecycles. This enables DDNS teardowns
2524 on leases that are assigned and expired inbetween a server restart (the
2525 state is recovered from dhcpd.leases). Arbitrary user-specified binding
2526 scopes ('set var = "value";') are not yet supported.

2547 would segfault if a client attempted to renew a lease that had been
2548 loaded from persistent storage.

2551 the DHCPv6 client configuration. 'send dhcp6.oro' is no longer
2552 necessary.

f66f02cc
DH
2617 header files to include it (fixes a BSD 4.2 compile failure).
2618

a512d11b 2620
4ba58919
DH
2621- DHCPv4 I/O methods that failed to sense hardware address were corrected.
2622
2623- DHCPv4 is now the default (as documented) rather than DHCPv6. The default
2624 was set to DHCPv6 to facilitate ease early development, and forgotten.
2625
2626- Corrected a segmentation violation in DHCPv4 socket processing.
2627
8ea19a71 2628- dhclient will now fork() into the background once it binds to an

DH
2640 Changes since 3.1.0 (NEW FEATURES)
2641
2642- DHCPv6 Client and Server protocol support. Use '-6' to run the daemons
2643 as v6-only. Use '-4' to run the daemons as v4-only (default. There is
2644 no support currently for both.
2645
2646- Server support for multiple IA_NA options, containing at most one
2647 IAADDR option.
2648
2649- Client support for one IA_NA option, containing any number of IAADDR
2650 options.
2651
2652- Server support for the DHCPv6 Information-request message.
2653
2654- Inappropriate unicast DHCPv6 messages sent to the server are now
2655 discarded, and this has rearchitected the IO system slightly.
2656
2657- The DHCPv6 server DUID defaults to type 1, is persistently stored in
2658 the leases database, and can be over-ridden (either completely, or by
2659 specifying type 1 or type 2).
2660
2661- The server only uses Rapid-Commit if it has been configured with the
2662 Rapid-Commit option and the client requests it.
2663
2664- DDNS support. We now update AAAA records in the same place we would
2665 update A records, if we have an IPv6 address. We also generate IP6.ARPA
2666 style names for PTR records if we're dealing with an IPv6 address. Both
2667 A and AAAA updates are done using the same 'fqdn.' virtual option space
2668 (although the DHCPv4 FQDN and DHCPv6 FQDN options are formatted
2669 differently, they both use the same code here).
2670
2671- The Linux dhclient-script attempts to set and remove assigned addresses,
2672 and to configure /etc/resolv.conf from nameserver and domain name
2673 configurations. It can be extended to configure other parameters.
2674
2675- Initial DHCPv6 lease support.
2676
2677- The IO system now tracks all local IP addresses, so that the DHCP
2678 applications (particularly the dhcrelay) can discern between what frames
2679 were transmitted to it, and what frames are being carried through it which
2680 it should not intercept.
2681

DH
2682 Changes since 3.1.0 (Maintenance)
2683
2684- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for virgin leases always
2685 mapped to the primary. Virgin leases now have an interleaved preference
2686 between primary and secondary.
2687
2688- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for clients with no client
2689 identifier was sometimes mishashed to the peer. Load balancing during
2690 runtime and pool rebalancing were opposing.

2692- An assertion in lease counting relating to reserved leases was repaired.
2693
e9c59645
DH
2694- The subnet-mask option inclusion now conforms with RFC2132 section 3.3;
2695 it will only appear prior to the routers option if it is present on the
2696 Parameter-Request-List. The subnet-mask option will also only be
2697 included by default (if it is not on the PRL) in response to DISCOVER
2698 or REQUEST messages.
2699
2700- The FQDN option is only supplied if the client supplied an FQDN option or
2701 if the FQDN option was explicitly requested on the PRL.

DH
2710 Changes since 3.1.0b2
2711
2712- Failover rebalance events no longer play ping pong with round errors
2713 (moving leases between free and back to backup where there are an
2714 odd number of leases).
2715
2716- The 'pool' log line has been split into two messages, one before the
2717 rebalance run, and one after.
2718
2719- Any queued BNDACKs are transmitted before transmitting new BNDUPDs.
2720 This enforces the correct sequence of events for the remote server
2721 processing these messages.

2728- A new server config option "fqdn-reply" specifies whether the server
2729 should send out option 81 (FQDN). Defaults to "on". If set to "off",
2730 the FQDN option is not sent, even if the client requested it. This is
2731 needed because some clients misbehave otherwise. Thanks to Christof Chen
2732 at Allianz.

DH
2743- A new server config option, 'do-reverse-updates', has been added
2744 which causes the server to abstain from performing updates on PTR
2745 records. Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen at Allianz.

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

3211
3212- File handlers on configuration state (config files and lease dbs) should
98bd7ca0 3213 be treated consistently, regardless of whether TRACING is defined or not.
88cd8aca 3214
45d545f0 3215- The Linux build environment has had some minor improvements - better
88cd8aca
DH
3216 sensing of 64-bit pointer sizes (only used for establishing an icmp_id),
3217 and corrections to #if operators regarding LINUX_MAJOR should it ever
3218 move to 3.[01].x.
3219
3220- The server now tries harder to survive the condition where it is unable
3221 to open a new lease file to rewrite the lease state database.
3222

3223 Changes since 3.0.3b3
3224
3225- dhclient.conf documentation for interface {} was updated to reflect recent
3226 discussion on the dhcp-hackers mailing list.
3227
3228- In response to reports that the software does not compile on GCC 4.0.0,
3229 -Werror was removed from Makefile.conf for all platforms that used it.
3230 We will address the true problem in a future release; this is a temporary
3231 workaround.
3232
3233 Changes since 3.0.3b2
3234
3235- An error in code changes introduced in 3.0.3b2 was corrected, which caused
3236 static BOOTP clients to receive random addresses.
3237
3238 Changes since 3.0.3b1
3239
3240- A bug was fixed in BOOTPREQUEST handling code wherein stale references to
3241 host records would be left behind on leases that were not allocated to the
3242 client currently booting (eg in the case where the host was denied booting).
3243
3244- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated to be more clear in regards to
3245 multiple host declarations (thanks to Vincent McIntyre). 'Interim' style
3246 dynamic updates were also retouched.
3247
98311e4b
DH
3248 Changes since 3.0.2
3249
3250- A bug was fixed where a server might load balance a DHCP REQUEST to its
45d545f0 3251 peer after already choosing not to load balance the preceding DISCOVER.
98311e4b
DH
3252 The peer cannot allocate the originating server's lease.
3253
3254- In the case where a secondary server lost its stable storage while the
3255 primary was still in communications-interrupted, and came back online,
3256 the lease databases would not be fully transferred to the secondary.
3257 This was due to the secondary errantly sending an extra UPDREQ message
3258 when the primary made its state transition to PARTNER-DOWN known.
3259
3260- The package will now compile cleanly in gcc 3.3 and 3.4. As a side effect,
3261 lease structures will be 9 bytes smaller on all platforms. Thanks to
4b97eaff 3262 Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3263
3264- Interface discovery code in DISCOVER_UNCONFIGURED mode is now
3265 properly restricted to only detecting broadcast interfaces. Thanks
4b97eaff 3266 to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3267
3268- decode_udp_ip_header was changed so that the IP address was copied out
3269 to a variable, rather than referenced by a pointer. This enforces 4-byte
3270 alignment of the 32-bit IP address value. Thanks to a patch from Dr.
3271 Peter Poeml.
3272
3273- An incorrect log message was corrected thanks to a patch from
3274 Dr. Peter Poeml.
3275
3276- A bug in DDNS was repaired, where if the server's first DDNS action was
3277 a DDNS removal rather than a DDNS update, the resolver library's
3278 retransmit timer and retry timer was set to the default, implying a
3279 15 second timeout interval. Which is a little excessive in a synchronous,
3280 single-threaded system. In all cases, ISC DHCP should now hold fast to
3281 a 1-second timeout, trying only once.
3282
3283- The siaddr field was being improperly set to the server-identifier when
3284 responding to DHCP messages. RFC2131 clarified the siaddr field as
3285 meaning the 'next server in the bootstrap process', eg a tftp server.
3286 The siaddr field is now left zeroed unless next-server is configured.
3287
3288- mockup_lease() could have returned in an error condition (or in the
3289 condition where no fixed-address was found matching the shared
3290 network) with stale references to a host record. This is probably not
3291 a memory leak since host records generally never die anyway.
3292
3293- A bug was repaired where failover servers would let stale client identifiers
3294 persist on leases that were reallocated to new clients not sending an id.
3295
3296- Binding scopes ("set var = value;") are now removed from leases allocated
3297 by failover peers if the lease had expired. This should help reduce the
3298 number of stale binding scopes on leases.
3299
3300- A small memory leak was closed involving client identifiers larger than
3301 7 bytes, and failover.
3302
3303- Configuring a subnet in dhcpd.conf with a subnet mask of 32 bits might
3304 cause an internal function to overflow heap. Thanks to Jason Vas Dias
4b97eaff 3305 at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3306
3307- Some inconsistencies in treating numbers that the lexer parsed as 'NUMBER'
3308 or 'NUMBER_OR_NAME' was repaired. Hexadecimal parsing is affected, and
3309 should work better.
3310
3311- In several cases, parse warnings were being issued before the lexical
3312 token had been advanced to the token whose value was causing an error...
3313 causing parse warnings to claim the problem is on the wrong token.
3314
3315- Host declarations matching on client identifier for dynamic leases will
3316 no longer match fixed-address host declarations (this is now identical
3317 to behaviour for host records matching on hardware address).
3318
3319 Changes since 3.0.2rc3
3320
3321- A previously undocumented configuration directive, 'local-address',
3322 was documented in the dhcpd.conf manpage.
3323
3324 Changes since 3.0.2rc2
3325
45d545f0 3326- Two variables introduced in 3.0.2b1 were used without being initialized
98311e4b
DH
3327 in the case where neither the FILE nor SNAME fields were available for
3328 overloading. This was repaired.
3329
3330- A heretofore believed to be impossible corner case of the option
3331 overloading implementation turned out to be possible ("Unable to sort
3332 overloaded options after 10 tries."). The implementation was reworked
3333 to consider the case of an option so large it would require more than
3334 three chunks to fit.
3335
3336- Many other instances of variables being used without being initialized
3337 were repaired.
3338
3339- An uninitialized variable in omapi_io_destroy() led to the discovery
3340 that this function may result in orphaned pointers (and hence, a memory
3341 leak).
3342
3343 Changes since 3.0.2rc1
3344
3345- allocate_lease() was rewritten to repair a bug in which the server would
3346 try to allocate an ABANDONED lease when FREE leases were available.
3347
3348 Changes since 3.0.2b1
3349
3350- Some dhcp-eval.5 manpage formatting was repaired.
3351
3352 Changes since 3.0.1
3353
3354- A bug was fixed in the server's 'option overloading' implementation,
3355 where options loaded into the 'file' and 'sname' packet fields were
3356 not aligned precisely as rfc2131 dictates.
3357
3358- The FreeBSD client script was changed to support the case where a domain
3359 name was not provided by the server.
3360
3361- A memory leak in 'omshell' per each command line parsed was
3362 repaired, thanks to a patch from Jarkko Torppa.
3363
3364- Log functions writing to stderr were adjusted to use the STDERR_FILENO
3365 system definition rather than '2'. This is a no-op for 90% of platforms.
3366
3367- One call to trace_write_packet_iov() counted the number of io vectors
3368 incorrectly, causing inconsistent tracefiles. This was fixed.
3369
3370- Some expression parse failure memory leaks were closed.
3371
3372- A host byte order problem in tracefiles was repaired.
3373
3374- Pools configured in DHCPD for failover possessing permission lists that
adb95d23 3375 previously were assumed to not include dynamic bootp clients are now
98311e4b
DH
3376 a little more pessimistic. The result is, dhcpd will nag you about just
3377 about most pools that possess a 'allow' statement with no 'deny' that
3378 would definitely match a dynamic bootp client.
3379
3380- The 'ddns-update-style' configuration warning bit now insists that
3381 the configuration be globally scoped.
3382
3383- Two memory leaks in dhclient were closed thanks to a patch from Felix
3384 Farkas.
3385
3386- Some minor but excellently pedantic documentation errors were fixed
3387 thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
3388
3389- Bugs in operator precedence in executable statements have been repaired
3390 once again. More legal syntaxes should be parsed legally.
3391
3392- Failing to initialize a tracefile for any reason if a tracefile was
3393 specified is now a fatal error. Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
3394
3395- Corrected a bug in which the number of leases transferred as calculated
3396 by the failover primary and sent to peers in POOLRESP responses may be
3397 incorrect. This value is not believed to be used by other failover
3398 implementations, excepting perhaps as logged information.
3399
3400- Corrected a bug in which 'dhcp_failover_send_poolresp()' was in fact
3401 sending POOLREQ messages instead of POOLRESP mesasges. This message
3402 was essentially ignored since failover secondaries effectively do not
3403 respond to POOLREQ messages.
3404
3405- Type definitions for various bitwidths of integers in the sunos5-5
3406 build of ISC DHCP have been fixed. It should compile and run more
3407 easily when built in 64-bit for this platform.
3408
3409- "allow known-clients;" is now a legal syntax, to avoid confusion.
3410
3411- If one dhcp server chooses to 'load balance' a request to its failover
3412 peer, it first checks to see if it believes said peer has a free
3413 lease to allocate before ignoring the DISCOVER.
3414
3415- log() was logging a work buffer, rather than the value returned by
3416 executing the statements configured by the user. In some cases,
3417 the work buffer and the intended results were the same. In some other
3418 cases, they were not. This was fixed thanks to a patch from Gunnar
3419 Fjone and directconnect.no.
3420
3421- Compiler warnings for some string type conversions was fixed, thanks
3422 to Andreas Gustafsson.
3423
3424- The netbsd build environments were simplified to one, in which
3425 -Wconversion is not used, thanks to Andreas Gustafsson.
3426
3427- How randomness in the backoff-cutoff dhclient configuration variable
3428 is implemented was better documented in the manpage, and the behaviour
3429 of dhclient in REQUEST timeout handling was changed to match that of
3430 DISCOVER timeout handling.
3431
3432- Omapi was hardened against clients that pass in null values, thanks
3433 to a patch from Mark Jason Dominus.
3434
3435- A bug was fixed in dhclient that kept it from doing client-side
3436 ddns updates. Thanks to a patch from Andreas Gustafsson, which
3437 underwent some modification after review by Jason Vas Dias.
3438
3439- Failover implementations disconnected due to the network between
3440 them (rather than one of the two shutting down) will now try to
3441 re-establish the failover connection every 5 seconds, rather than
3442 to simply try once and give up until one of them is restarted.
3443 Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from Infoblox, and field testing
3444 by Greger V. Teigre which led to an enhancement to it.
3445
3446- A problem that kept DHCP Failover secondaries from tearing down
3447 ddns records was repaired. Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from
3448 Infoblox.
3449
3450- 64bit pointer sizes are detected properly on FreeBSD now.
3451
3452- A bug was repaired where the DHCP server would leave stale references
3453 to host records on leases it once thought about offering to certain
3454 clients. The result would be to apply host and 'known' scopes to the
3455 wrong clients (possibly denying booting). NOTE: The 'mis-host' patch
3456 that was being circulated as a workaround is not the way this bug was
3457 fixed. If you were a victim of this bug in 3.0.1, you are cautioned
3458 to proceed carefully and see if it fixes your problem.
3459
3460- A bug was repaired in the server's DHCPINFORM handling, where it
3461 tried to divine the client's address from the source packet and
3462 would get it wrong. Thanks to Anshuman Singh Rawat.
3463
3464- A log message was introduced to help illuminate the case where the
3465 server was unable to find a lease to assign to any BOOTP client.
3466 Thanks to Daniel Baker.
3467
3468- A minor dhcpd.conf.5 manpage error was fixed.
3469
3470 Changes since 3.0.1rc14
3471
3472- The global variable 'cur_time' was centralized and is now uniformly of a
3473 type #defined in system-dependent headers. It had previously been defined
3474 in one of many places as a 32-bit value, and this causes mayhem on 64-bit
3475 big endian systems. It probably wasn't too healthy on little endian
3476 systems either.
3477
3478- A printf format string error introduced in rc14 was repaired.
3479
3480- AIX system-dependent header file was altered to only define NO_SNPRINTF
3481 if the condition used to #ifdef in vsnprintf in AIX' header files
3482 is false.
3483
3484- The Alpha/OSF system-dependent header file was altered to define
3485 NO_SNPRINTF on OS revisions older than 4.0G.
3486
3487- omapip/test.c had string.h added to its includes.
3488
3489 Changes since 3.0.1rc13
3490
3491! CAN-2004-0460 - CERT VU#317350: Five stack overflow exploits were closed
3492 in logging messages with excessively long hostnames provided by the
3493 clients. It is highly probable that these could have been used by
3494 attackers to gain arbitrary root access on systems using ISC DHCP 3.0.1
3495 release candidates 12 or 13. Special thanks to Gregory Duchemin for
3496 both finding and solving the problem.
3497
3498! CAN-2004-0461 - CERT VU#654390: Once the above was closed, an opening
45d545f0 3499 in log_*() functions was evidenced, on some specific platforms where
98311e4b
DH
3500 vsnprintf() was not believed to be available and calls were wrapped to
3501 sprintf() instead. Again, credit goes to Gregory Duchemin for finding
3502 the problem. Calls to snprintf() are now linked to a distribution-local
3503 snprintf implementation, only in those cases where the architecture is
3504 not known to provide one (see includes/cf/[arch].h). If you experience
3505 linking problems with snprintf/vsnprintf or 'isc_print_' functions, this
3506 is where to look. This vulnerability did not exist in any previously
3507 published version of ISC DHCP.
3508
3509- Compilation on hpux 11.11 was repaired.
3510
3511- 'The cross-compile bug fix' was backed out.
3512
3513 Changes since 3.0.1rc12
3514
3515- Fixed a bug in omapi lease lookup function, to form the hardware
3516 address for the hash lookup correctly, thanks to a patch from
3517 Richard Hirst.
3518
3519- Fixed a bug where dhcrelay was sending relayed responses back to the
3520 broadcast address, but with the source's unicast mac address. Should
3521 now conform to rfc2131 section 4.1.
3522
3523- Cross-compile bug fix; use $(AR) instead of ar. Thanks to Morten Brorup.
3524
3525- Fixed a crash bug in dhclient where dhcpd servers that do not provide
3526 renewal times results in an FPE. As a side effect, dhclient can now
3527 properly handle 0xFFFFFFFF (-1) expiry times supplied by servers. Thanks
3528 to a patch from Burt Silverman.
3529
3530- The 'ping timeout' debugs from rc12 were removed to -DDEBUG only,
45d545f0 3531 and reformatted to correct a compilation error on Solaris platforms.
98311e4b
DH
3532
3533- A patch was applied which fixes a case where leases read from the
3534 leases database do not properly over-ride previously read leases.
3535
3536- dhcpctl.3 manpage was tweaked.
3537
3538 Changes since 3.0.1rc11
3539
3540- A patch from Steve Campbell was applied with minor modifications to
3541 permit reverse dns PTR record updates with values containing spaces.
3542
3543- A patch from Florian Lohoff was applied with some modifications to
3544 dhcrelay. It now discards packets whose hop count exceeds 10 by default,
3545 and a command-line option (-c) can be used to set this threshold.
3546
3547- A failover bug relating to identifying peers by name length instead of
3548 by name was fixed.
3549
45d545f0 3550- Declaring failover configs within shared-network statements should no
98311e4b
DH
3551 longer result in error.
3552
3553- The -nw command line option to dhclient now works.
3554
3555- Thanks to a patch from Michael Richardson:
3556 - Some problems with long option processing have been fixed.
3557 - Some fixes to minires so that updates of KEY records will work.
3558
3559- contrib/ms2isc was updated by Shu-Min Chang of the Intel Corporation.
3560 see contrib/ms2isc/readme.txt for revision notes.
3561
3562- Dhclient no longer uses shell commands to kill another instance of
3563 itself, it sends the signal directly. Thanks to a patch from Martin
3564 Blapp.
3565
3566- The FreeBSD dhclient-script was changed so that a failure to write to
3567 /etc/resolv.conf does not prematurely end the script. This keeps dhclient
3568 from looping infinitely when this is the case. Thanks to a patch from
3569 Martin Blapp.
3570
3571- A patch from Bill Stephens was applied which resolves a problem with lease
3572 expiry times in failover configurations.
3573
3574- A memory leak in configuration parsing was closed thanks to a patch from
3575 Steve G.
3576
3577- The function which discovers interfaces will now skip non-broadcast or
3578 point-to-point interfaces, thanks to a patch from David Brownlee.
3579
3580- Options not yet known by the dhcpd or dhclient have had their names
3581 changed such that they do not contain # symbols, in case they should ever
3582 appear in a lease file. An option that might have been named "#144" is
3583 now "unknown-144".
3584
3585- Another patch from Bill Stephens which allows the ping-check timeout to
3586 be configured as 'ping-timeout'. Defaults to 1.
3587
3588 Changes since 3.0.1rc10
3589
3590- Potential buffer overflows in minires repaired.
3591
3592- A change to the linux client script to use /bin/bash, since /bin/sh may
3593 not be bash.
3594
3595- Some missing va_end cleanups thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
3596
3597- A correction of boolean parsing syntax validation - some illegal syntaxes
3598 that worked before are now detected and produce errs, some legal syntaxes
3599 that errored before will now work properly.
3600
3601- Some search-and-replace errors that caused some options to change their
3602 names was repaired.
3603
3604- Shu-min Chang of the Intel corporation has contributed a perl script and
3605 module that converts the MS NT4 DHCP configuration to a ISC DHCP3
3606 configuration file.
3607
3608- Applied the remainder of the dhcpctl memory leak patch provided by Bill
3609 Squier at ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
3610
3611- Missing non-optional failover peer configurations will now result in a soft
3612 error rather than a null dereference.
3613
3614 Changes since 3.0.1rc9
3615
3616- A format string was corrected to fix compiler warnings.
3617
3618- A number of spelling corrections were made in the man pages.
3619
3620- The dhclient.conf.5 man page was changed to refer to do-forward-updates
3621 rather than a configuration option that doesn't exist.
3622
3623- A FreeBSD-specific bug in the interface removal handling was fixed.
3624
3625- A Linux-specific Token Ring detection problem was fixed.
3626
3627- Hashes removed from as-yet-unknown agent options, having those options
3628 appear in reality before we know about them will no longer produce
3629 self-corrupting lease databases.
3630
3631- dhclient will use the proper port numbers now when using the -g option.
3632
3633- A order-of-operations bug with 2 match clauses in 1 class statement is
3634 fixed thanks to a patch from Andrew Matheson.
3635
3636- Compilation problems on Solaris were fixed.
3637
3638- Compilation problems when built with DEBUG or DEBUG_PACKET were repaired.
3639
3640- A fix to the dhcp ack process which makes certain group options will be
3641 included in the first DHCPOFFER message was made thanks to a patch from
3642 Ling Gou.
3643
3644- A few memory leaks were repaired thanks to patches from Bill Squier at
3645 ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
3646
3647- A fix for shared-networks that sometimes give clients options for the
3648 wrong subnets (in particular, 'option routers') was applied, thanks to
3649 Ted Lemon for the patch.
3650
3651- Omshell's handling of dotted octets as values was changed such that dots
3652 one after the other produce zero values in the integer string.
3653
3654 Changes since 3.0.1rc8
3655
3656- Fix a format string vulnerability in the server that could lead to a
3657 remote root compromise (discovered by NGSEC Research Team, www.ngsec.com).
3658
3659- Add additional support for NetBSD/sparc64.
3660
3661- Fix a bug in the command-line parsing of the client. Also, resolve
3662 a memory leak.
3663
3664- Add better support for shells other than bash in the Linux client
3665 script.
3666
3667- Various build fixes for modern versions of FreeBSD and Linux.
3668
3669- Fix a bad bounds check when printing binding state names.
3670
3671- Clarify documentation about fixed-address and multiple addresses.
3672
3673- Fix a typo in the authoritative error message.
3674
3675- Make a log entry when we can't write a billing class.
3676
3677- Use conversion targets that are the right size on all architectures.
3678
3679- Increment the hop count when relaying.
3680
3681- Log a message when lease state is changed through OMAPI.
3682
3683- Don't rerun the shared_network when evaluating the pool.
3684
3685- Fix a reversed test in the parser.
3686
3687- Change the type of rbuf_max.
3688
3689- Make FTS_LAST a manifest constant to quiet warnings.
3690
3691 Changes since 3.0.1rc7
3692
3693- Fix two compiler warnings that are generated when compiling on Solaris
3694 with gcc. These stop the build, even though they weren't actually
3695 errors, because we prefer that our builds generate no warnings.
3696
3697 Changes since 3.0.1rc6
3698
3699- Don't allow a lease that's in the EXPIRED, RELEASED or RESET state
3700 to be renewed.
3701
3702- Implement lease stealing for cases where the primary has fewer leases
3703 than the secondary, as called for by the standard.
3704
3705- Add a fudge factor to the lease expiry acceptance code, (suggested
3706 by Kevin Miller of CMU).
3707
3708- Fix a bug in permit_list_match that made it much too willing to say
3709 that two permit lists matched.
3710
3711- Unless DEBUG_DNS_UPDATES is defined, print more user-friendly (and
3712 also more compact) messages about DNS updates.
3713
3714- Fix a bug in generating wire-format domain names for the FQDN option.
3715
3716- Fix a bug where the FQDN option would not be returned if the client
3717 requested it, contrary to the standard.
3718
3719- On Darwin, use the FreeBSD DHCP client script.
3720
3721- On NetBSD/sparc, don't check for casting warnings.
3722
3723- Add a flag in the DHCP client to disable updating the client's A
3724 record when sending an FQDN option indicating that the client is
3725 going to update its A record.
3726
3727- In the client, don't attempt a DNS update until one second after
3728 configuring the new IP address, and if the update times out, keep
3729 trying until a response, positive or negative, is received from the
3730 DNS server.
3731
3732- Fix an uninitialized memory bug in the DHCP client.
3733
3734- Apply some FreeBSD-specific bug fixes suggested by Murray Stokely.
3735
3736- Fix a bug in ns_parserr(), where it was returning the wrong sort
3737 of result code in some cases (suggested by Ben Harris of the
3738 NetBSD project).
3739
3740- Fix a bug in is_identifier(), where it was checking against EOF
3741 instead of the END_OF_FILE token (also suggested by Ben Harris).
3742
3743- Fix a bug where if an option universe contained no options, the
3744 DHCP server could dump core (Walter Steiner).
3745
3746- Fix a bug in the handling of encapsulated options.
3747
3748- Fix a bug that prevented NWIP suboptions from being processed.
3749
3750- Delete the FTS_BOOTP and FTS_RESERVED states and implement them
3751 as modifier flags to the FTS_ACTIVE state, as called for in the
3752 failover protocol standard.
3753
3754- Fix bugs in the pool merging code that resulted in references and
3755 dereferences of null pointers. This bug had no impact unless the
3756 POINTER_DEBUG flag was defined.
3757
3758- In the server, added a do-forward-updates flag that can be used to
3759 disable forward updates in all cases, so that sites that want the
3760 clients to take sole responsibility for updating their A record can
3761 do so.
3762
3763- Make it possible to disable optimization of PTR record updates.
3764
3765 Changes since 3.0.1rc5
3766
3767- Include some new documentation and changes provided by Karl Auer.
3768
3769- Add a workaround for some Lexmark printers that send a double-NUL-
3770 terminated host-name option, which would break DNS updates.
3771
3772- Fix an off-by-one error in the MAC-address checking code for
3773 DHCPRELEASE that was added in 3.0.1rc5.
3774
3775- Fix a bug where client-specific information was not being discarded
3776 from the lease when it expired or was released, resulting in
3777 problems if the lease was reallocated to a different client.
3778
3779- If more than one allocation pool is specified that has the same set
3780 of constraints as another allocation pool on the same shared
3781 network, merge the two pools.
3782
3783- Don't print an error in fallback_discard, since this just causes
3784 confusion and does not appear to be helping to encourage anyone to
3785 fix this bug.
3786
3787 Changes since 3.0.1rc4
3788
3789- Fix a bug that would cause the DHCP server to spin if asked to parse
3790 a certain kind of incorrect statement.
3791
3792- Fix a related bug that would prevent an error from being reported in
3793 the same case.
3794
3795- Additional documentation.
3796
3797- Make sure that the hardware address matches the lease when
3798 processing a DHCPRELEASE message.
3799
3800 Changes since 3.0.1rc3
3801
3802- A minor bug fix in the arguments to a logging function call.
3803- Documentation update for dhcpd.conf.
3804
adbef119 3805 Changes since 3.0.1rc2
98311e4b
DH
3806
3807- Allow the primary to send a POOLREQ message. This isn't what the current
3808 failover draft says to do, so we may have to back it out if I can't get the
3809 authors to relent, but the scheme for balancing that's specified in the
3810 current draft seems needlessly hairy, so I'm floating a trial balloon.
3811 The rc1 code did not implement the method described in the draft either.
3812
adbef119 3813 Changes since 3.0.1rc1
98311e4b
DH
3814
3815- Treat NXDOMAIN and NXRRSET as success when we are trying to delete a
3816 domain or RRSET. This allows the DHCP server to forget about a name
3817 it added to the DNS once it's been removed, even if the DHCP server
3818 wasn't the one that removed it.
3819
3820- Install defaults for failover maximum outstanding updates and maximum
3821 silent time. This prevents problems that might occur if these values
3822 were not configured.
3823
3824- Don't do DDNS deletes if ddns-update-style is none.
3825
3826- Return relay agent information options in DHCPNAK. This prevents DHCPNAK
3827 messages from being dropped when the relay agent information option contains
3828 routing information.
3829
3830- Fix a problem where coming up in recover wouldn't result in an update
3831 request being sent.
3832
3833- Add some more chatty messages when we start a recovery update and when it's
3834 done.
3835
3836- Fix a possible problem where some state might have been left around
3837 after the peer lost contact and regained contact about how many updates
3838 were pending.
3839
3840- Don't nix a lease update because of a lease conflict. This test has
3841 never (as far as I know) prevented a mistake, and it appears to cause
3842 problems with failover.
3843
3844- Add support in rc history code for keeping a selective history, rather
3845 than a history of all references and dereferences. This code is only used
3846 when extensive additional debugging is enabled.
3847
adbef119 3848 Changes since 3.0
98311e4b
DH
3849
3850- Make allocators for hash tables. As a side effect, this fixes a memory
3851 smash in the subclass allocation code.
3852
3853- Fix a small bug in omshell where if you try to close an object when
3854 no object is open, it dumps core.
3855
3856- Fix an obscure coredump that could occur on shutdown.
3857
3858- Fix a bug in the recording of host declaration rubouts in the lease file.
3859
3860- Fix two potential spins in the host deletion code.
3861
3862- Fix a core dump that would happen if an application tried to update
3863 a host object attribute with a null value.
3864
3865 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 12
3866
3867- Fix a memory leak in the evaluation code.
3868
3869- Fix an obscure core dump.
3870
3871- Print a couple of new warnings when parsing the configuration file
3872 when crucial information is left out.
3873
3874- Log "no free leases" as an error.
3875
3876- Documentation updates.
3877
3878 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 11
3879
3880- Always return a subnet selection option if one is sent.
3881
3882- Fix a warning that was being printed because an automatic data
3883 structure wasn't zeroed.
3884
3885- Fix some failover state transitions that were being handled
3886 incorrectly.
3887
3888- When supersede_lease is called on a lease whose end time has already
3889 expired, but for which a state transition has not yet been done, do
3890 a state transition. This fixes the case where if the secondary
3891 allocated a lease to a client and the lease "expired" while the
3892 secondary was in partner-down, no expiry event would actually
3893 happen, so the lease would remain active until the primary was
3894 restarted.
3895
3896 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 10
3897
3898- Fix a bug that was preventing released leases from changing state
3899 in failover-enabled pools.
3900
3901- Fix a core dump in the client identifier finder code (for host
3902 declarations).
3903
3904- Finish fixing a bug where bogus data would sometimes get logged to
3905 the dhclient.leases file because it was opened as descriptor 2.
3906
3907- Fix the Linux dhclient-script according to suggestions made by
3908 several people on the dhcp-client mailing list.
3909
3910- Log successful DNS updates at LOG_INFO, not LOG_ERROR.
3911
3912- Print an error message and refuse to run if a failover peer is
3913 defined but not referenced by any pools.
3914
3915- Correct a confusing error message in failover.
3916

TL
3929 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8 Patchlevel 1
3930
3931- Fix a parsing bug that broke dns updates (both interim and ad-hoc).
3932 This was introduced in rc8pl1 as an unintended result of the memory
3933 leakage fixes that were in pl1.
3934
3935- Fix a long-standing bug where the server would record that an update
3936 had been done for a client with no name, even though no update had
3937 been done, and then when the client's lease expired the deletion of
3938 that nonexistant record would time out because the name was the null
9a111ee8 3939 string.
d758ad8c
TL
3940
3941- Clean up the omshell, dhcpctl and omapi man pages a bit.

3945- Fix a bug that could cause the DHCP server to spin if
3946 one-lease-per-client was enabled.
3947
3948- Fix a bug that was causing core dumps on BSD/os in the presence of
3949 malformed packets.
3950
3951- In partner-down state, don't restrict lease lengths to MCLT.
3952
3953- On the failover secondary, record the MCLT received from the primary
3954 so that if we come up without a connection to the primary we don't
3955 wind up giving out zero-length leases.
3956
3957- Fix some compilation problems on BSD/os.
3958
3959- Fix a bunch of memory leaks.
3960
3961- Fix a couple of bugs in the option printer.
3962
3963- Fix an obscure error reporting bug in the dns update code, and also
3964 make the message clearer when a key algorithm isn't supported.
3965
3966- Fix a bug in the tracing code that prevented trace runs that used
3967 tcp connections from being played back.
3968
3969- Add some additional debugging capability for catching memory leaks
3970 on exit.
3971
3972- Make the client release the lease correctly on shutdown.
3973
3974- Add some configurability to the build system.
3975
3976- Install omshell manual page in man1, not man8.
3977
3978- Craig Gwydir sent in a patch that fixes a long-standing bug in the
3979 DHCP client that could cause core dumps, but that for some reason
3980 hadn't been noticed until now.
3981
3982 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 7
3983
3984- Fix a bug in failover where we weren't sending updates after a
3985 transition from communications-interrupted to normal.
3986
3987- Handle expired/released/reset -> free transition according to the
3988 protocol specification (this works - the other way not only wasn't
3989 conformant, but also didn't work).
3990
3991- Add a control object in both client and server that allows either
3992 daemon to be shut down cleanly.
3993
3994- When writing a lease, if we run out of disk space, shut down the
3995 output file and insist on writing a new one before proceeding.
3996
3997- In the server, if the OMAPI listener port is occupied, keep trying
3998 to get it, rather than simply giving up and exiting.
3999
4000- Support fetching variables from leases and also updating and adding
4001 variables to leases via OMAPI.
4002
4003- If two failover peers have wildly different clocks, refuse to start
4004 doing failover.
4005
4006- Fix a bug in the DNS update code that could cause core dumps when
4007 running on alpha processors.
4008
4009- Fixed a bug in ddns updates for static lease entries, thanks to a
4010 patch from Andrey M Linkevitch.
4011
4012- Add support for Darwin/MacOS X
4013
4014- Install omshell (including new documentation).
4015
4016- Support DNS updates in the client (this is a very obscure feature
4017 that most DHCP client users probably will not be able to use).
4018
4019- Somewhat cleaner status logging in the client.
4020
4021- Make OMAPI key naming syntax compatible with the way keys are
4022 actually named (key names are domain names).
4023
4024- Fix a bug in the lease file writer.
4025
4026- Install DHCP ISC headers in a different place than BIND 9 ISC
4027 headers, to avoid causing trouble in BIND 9 builds.
4028
4029- Don't send updates for attributes on an object when the attributes
4030 haven't changed. Support deleting attributes on remote objects.
4031
4032- Fix a number of bugs in omshell, and add the unset and refresh
4033 statements.
4034
4035- Handle disconnects in OMAPI a little bit more intelligently (so that
4036 the caller gets ECONNRESET instead of EINVAL).
4037
4038- Fix a bunch of bugs in the handling of clients that have existing
4039 leases when the try to renew their leases while failover is
4040 operating.
4041

TL
4042 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 6
4043
4044- Fix a core dump that could happen when processing a DHCPREQUEST from
4045 a client that had a host declaration that contained both a
4046 fixed-address declaration and a dhcp-client-identifier option
4047 declaration, if the client identifier was longer than nine bytes.
4048
4049- Fix a memory leak that could happen in certain obscure cases when
4050 using omapi to manipulate leases.
4051
4052- Fix some bugs and omissions in omshell.
4053

4054 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 5
4055
4056- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that prevented objects in
4057 chains from having their reference counts decreased on dereference.
4058
4059- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that would prevent object
4060 chains from being freed upon removal of the last reference external
4061 to the chain.
4062
4063- Fix a number of other memory leaks in the OMAPI protocol subsystem.
4064
4065- Add code in the OMAPI protocol handler to trace memory leakage.
4066

4079 DHCPDECLINE.
4080
4081- Fix failover peer OMAPI support.
4082
4083- In failover, correctly handle expiration of leases. Previously,
4084 leases would never be reclaimed because they couldn't make the
4085 transition from EXPIRED to FREE.
4086
4087- Fix some broken failover state transitions.
4088
4089- Documentation fixes.
4090
4091- Take out an unnecessary check in DHCP relay agent information option
4092 stashing code that was preventing REBINDING clients from rebinding.
4093
4094- Prevent failover peers from allocating leases in DHCPREQUEST
4095 processing if the lease belongs to the other server.
4096
4097- Record server version in lease file introductory comment.
4098
4099- Correctly report connection errors in OMAPI and failover.
4100
4101- Make authentication signature algorithm name comparisons in OMAPI
4102 case-insensitive.
4103
4104- Fix compile problem on SunOS 4.x
4105
98311e4b 4106- If a signature algorithm is not terminated with '.', terminate it so
eaf0b302
TL
4107 that comparisons between fully-qualified names will work
4108 consistently.
4109
4110- Different SIOCGIFCONF probe code, may "fix" problem on some Linux
4111 systems with the probe not working correctly.

4116
4117- Do lease billing on startup in a way that I *think* will finally do
4118 the billing correctly - the previous method could overbill as a
4119 result of duplicate leases.

4126 Herranz for figuring out the main problem.
4127

4129 core dumps.

4132 Friedrich.

4134- Fix a bug in lease billing, thanks to Jonas Bulow.
4135
4136 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 2
4137
4138- Change the conditions under which a DHCPRELEASE is actually
4139 committed to be consistent with lease binding states rather than
98311e4b 4140 using the lease end time. This may fix some problems with the
892fe689
TL
4141 billing class code.
4142
4143- Fix a bug where lease updates would fail on Digital Unix (and maybe
4144 others) because malloc was called with a size of zero.
4145
4146- Fix a core dump that happens when the DHCP server can't create its
4147 trace file.

79ea3de8 4149 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 1 Patchlevel 1
87784777 4150
79ea3de8
TL
4151- Fix the dhcp_failover_put_message to not attempt to allocate a
4152 zero-length buffer. Some versions of malloc() fail if you try to
4153 allocate a zero-length buffer, and this was causing problems on,
4154 e.g., Digital Unix.
4155
4156- Fix a case where the failover code was printing an error message
4157 when no error had occurred.
4158
4159- Fix a problem where when a server went down and back up again, the
4160 peer would not see a state transition and so would stay in the
4161 non-communicating state.
4162
4163- Be smart about going into recover_wait.
4164
4165- Fix a problem in the failover implementation where peers would fail
4166 to come into sync if interrupted in the RECOVER state. This could
4167 have been the cause of some problems people have reported recently.
4168
4169- Fix a problem with billing classes where they would not be unbilled
4170 when the client lease expired.
4171
4172- If select fails, figure out which descriptor is bad, and cut it out
4173 of the I/O loop. This prevents a potentially nasty spin. I
4174 haven't heard any report it in a while, but it came up consistently
4175 in testing.
4176
4177- Fix a bug in the relay agent where if you specified interfaces on
4178 the command line, it would fail.
4179
4180- Fix a couple of small bugs in the omapi connection object (no known
4181 user impact).
4182
4183- Add the missing 3.0 Beta 1 lease conversion script.
4184
4185- Read dhcp client script hooks if they exist, rather than only if
4186 they're executable.

4199 Compaq Alpha systems. This patchlevel is not a release candidate
4200 because of this bug. The bug should be straightforward to fix, so
4201 a new release candidate is expected shortly.

4227- Fix a bug in the DNS update code where a status code was not being
4228 checked. This may have been causing core dumps.
4229
4230- When parsing the lease file, if a lease declaration includes a
4231 billing class statement, and the lease already has a billing class,
4232 unbill the old class.
4233
4234- When processing failover transactions, where acks will be deferred,
4235 process the state transition immediately.
4236
4237- Don't try to use the new SIOCGIFCONF buffer size detection code on
4238 Linux 2.0, which doesn't provide this functionality.
4239

4242- Fix a problem in using the which command in the configure script.

4244- Fix a parse error in the client when setting up an omapi listener.
4245
4246- Document the -n and -g flags to the client.
4247
4248- Make sure there is always a stdin and stdout on startup. This
4249 prevents shell scripts from accidentally writing error messages into
4250 configuration files that happen to be opened as stderr.
4251
4252- If an interface is removed, the client will now notice that it is
4253 gone rather than spinning. This has only been tested on NetBSD.
4254
4255- The client will attempt to get an address even if it can't create a
4256 lease file.

4303- Implement omshell, which can be used to do arbitrary things to the
4304 server (in theory). (Damien Neil)
4305
4306- Fix a case where if a client had two different leases the server could
4307 actually dereference the second one when it hadn't been referenced,
4308 leading to memory corruption and a core dump. (James Brister)
4309
4310- Fix a case where a client could request the address of another client's
4311 lease, but find_lease wouldn't detect that the other client had it, and
4312 would attempt to allocate it to the client, resulting in a lease conflict
4313 message.
4314
4315- Fix a case where a client with more than one client identifier could be
4316 given a lease where the hardware address was correct but the client
4317 identifier was not, resulting in a lease conflict message.
4318
98311e4b 4319- Fix a problem where the server could write out a colon-separated
3350f5b7
TL
4320 hex list as a value for a variable, which would then not parse.
4321 The fix is to always write strings as quoted strings, with any
4322 non-printable characters quoted as octal escape sequences. So
4323 a file written the old way still won't work, but new files written
4324 this way will work.

4329 break any configuration files that use the option-nnn convention.
4330 If you want to continue to use this convention for some options,
4331 please be sure to write a definition, like this:
4332
4333 option option-nnn code nnn = string;

4338 DHCPREQUEST/DHCPACK/DHCPREQUEST/DHCPNAK sequence. This was the
4339 result of a deceptively silly bug in supersede_lease.

4354- Add support for transaction tracing. This allows the state of the
4355 DHCP server on startup, and all the subsequent transactions, to be
4356 recorded in a file which can then be played back to reproduce the
4357 behaviour of the DHCP server. This can be used to quickly
4358 reproduce bugs that cause core dumps or corruption, and also for
4359 tracking down memory leaks.
4360
4361- Incorporate some bug fixes provided by Joost Mulders for the DLPI
4362 package which should clear up problems people have been seeing on
4363 Solaris.
4364
4365- Fix bugs in the handling of options stored as linked lists (agent
4366 options, fqdn options and nwip options) that could cause memory
4367 corruption and core dumps.

4415- Finish fixing a long-standing bug in the agent options code. This
4416 was causing core dumps and failing to operate correctly - in
4417 particular, agent option stashing wasn't working. Agent option
4418 stashing should now be working, meaning that agent options can be
4419 used in class statements to control address allocation.
4420

4431 transmitting packets to the server. Handy for debugging; not much
4432 practical use otherwise.

4443- Work around the Win98 DHCP client, which NUL-terminates the FQDN
4444 option.

4446- Work around Win98 and Win2k clients that will claim they want to do
4447 the update even when they don't have any way to do it.
4448
4449- Fix some log messages that can be printed when failover is operating
4450 that were not printing enough information.
4451
4452- It was possible for a DHCPDISCOVER to get an allocation even when
4453 the state machine said the server shouldn't be responding.
4454
4455- Don't load balance DHCPREQUESTs from clients in RENEWING and
4456 REBINDING, since in RENEWING, if we heard it, it's for us, and in
4457 REBINDING, the client wouldn't have got to REBINDING if its primary
4458 were answering.

4472 representation from working correctly.
4473
4474- Thanks to Chris Cheney and Michael Sanders, we have a fix for the
4475 hang that they both spotted in the DHCP server - when
4476 one-lease-per-client was set, the code to release the "other" lease
4477 could spin.
4478
4479- Fix a problem with alignment of the input buffer in bpf in cases
4480 where two packets arrive in the same bpf read.
4481
4482- Fix a problem where the relay agent would crash if you specified an
4483 interface name on the command line.
4484
4485- Add the ability to conditionalize client behaviour based on the
4486 client state.
4487
4488- Add support for the FQDN option, and added support for a new way of
4489 doing ddns updates (ddns update style interim) that allows more than
4490 one DHCP server to update the DNS for the same network(s). This
4491 was implemented by Damien Neil with some additional functionality
4492 added by Ted Lemon.
4493
4494- Damien added a "log" statement, so that the configuration file can
4495 be made to log debugging information and other information.
4496
4497- Fixed a bug that caused option buffers not to be terminated with an
4498 end option.
4499
4500- Fixed a long-standing bug in the support for option spaces where the
4501 options are stored as an ordered list rather than in a hash table,
4502 which could theoretically result in memory pool corruption.
4503
4504- Prevent hardware declarations with no actual hardware address from
4505 being written as something unparsable, and behave correctly in the
4506 face of a null hardware address on input.
4507
4508- Allow key names to be FQDNs, and qualify the algorithm name if it is
4509 specified unqualified.

4512 failed" message, but instead says *why* the resolver failed.

4515 RFC.

4577- Fix a possible DoS attack where a client could cause the checksummer
4578 to dump core. This was a read, not a write, so it shouldn't be
4579 possible to exploit it any further than that.
4580
4581- Implement client- and server-side support for using the Client FQDN
4582 option.
4583
4584- Support for other option spaces in the client has been added. This
4585 means that it is now possible to define a vendor option space on the
4586 client, request options in that space from the server (which must
4587 define the same option space), and then use those options in the
4588 client. This also allows NWIP and Client FQDN options to be used
4589 meaningfully.
4590
4591- Add object initializer support. This means that objects can now be
4592 initialized to something other than all-zeros when allocated, which
4593 makes, e.g., the interface object support code a little more robust.
4594
4595- Fix an off-by-one bug in the host stuffer. This was causing host
