9ISC DHCP 4.2.x includes features that were not included in DHCP 4.1.x.
10These include:
37ec5845 11
98bf1607 12Processing the DHCP to DNS server transactions in an asyncrhonous fashion.
09afca0d 13The DHCP server or client can now continue with its processing while
98bf1607
SR
14awaiting replies from the DNS server.

16There are a number of DHCPv6 limitations and features missing in this
17release, which will be addressed in the future:
98bd7ca0 18
01a54c17 19- Only Solaris, Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD are supported.
3a16098f 20
adbef119
DH
21- DHCPv6 includes human-readable text in status code messages, in
22 English. A method to reconfigure or support other languages would
23 be preferrable.
98bd7ca0
DH
24
25- The "host-identifier" option is limited to a simple token.
26
98bd7ca0 27- The client and server can only operate DHCPv4 or DHCPv6 at a time,
45d545f0 28 not both. To use both protocols simultaneously, two instances of the
6de1f33e 29 relevant daemon are required, one with the '-6' command line option.

38The system has only been tested on Linux, FreeBSD, and Solaris, and may not
39work on other platforms. Please report any problems and suggested fixes to
40<dhcp-users@isc.org>.
98bd7ca0 41
6980ae03 42 Changes since 4.2.0 (new features)
51b8a8a0
SR
43
44- If a client renews before 'dhcp-cache-threshold' percent of its lease
45 has elapsed (default 25%), the server will reuse the allocated lease
46 (provide a lease within the currently allocated lease-time) rather
47 than extend or renew the lease. This absolves the server of needing
48 to perform an fsync() operation on the lease database before reply,
49 which improves performance. [ISC-Bugs #22228]
8cd88e20
SR
50 Update this patch to support asynchronous DDNS. If the server is
51 attempting to do DDNS on a lease it should be udpated and written to
52 disk even if that wouldn't be necessary due to the thresholding
53 [ISC-Bugs #26311]
51b8a8a0 54
6980ae03
SR
55- The 'no available billing' log line now also logs the name of the last
56 matching billing class tried before failing to provide a billing.
57 [ISC-Bugs #21759]
58
32e651c4
SR
59- A problem with missing get_hw_addr function when --enable-use-sockets
60 was used is now solved on GNU/Linux, BSD and GNU/Hurd systems. Note
61 that use-sockets feature was not tested on those systems. Client and
62 server code no longer use MAX_PATH constant that is not defined on
3cb6f9bb 63 GNU/Hurd systems. [ISC-Bugs #25979]
32e651c4 64
67418698
SR
65- Add a perl script in the contrib directory, dhcp-lease-list.pl, which
66 can parse v4 lease files and output the lease information in a more
67 human friendly manner. This was written by Christian Hammers with
68 some updates by vom and ISC. This is contributed code and is not
69 supported by ISC; however it may be useful to some users.
70 [ISC-Bugs #20680]
71
a7341359
SR
72- Add support in v6 for on-commit, on-expire and on-release.
73 [ISC-Bugs #27912
74
01fa619f
SR
75- Add support for using classes with v6.
76 [ISC-Bugs #26510]
77
d7d9c0c7
SR
78- Update the DDNS code to current standards and allow for sharing
79 of DDNS entries between v4 and v6 clients. The new code is used
80 if the ddns-update-style is set to "standard", the older code is
81 still available if ddns-update-style is set to "interim". The
82 oldest DDNS code "ad-hoc" has been removed. Thanks to Thomas Pegeot
83 who submitted a patch for this issue. This patch is based on
84 that work with some modifications.
85 [ISC-Bugs 21139]
86
1534fff7
SR
87- Update the DDNS code to support usage without a zone statement.
88 We strongly recommend that you use a zone statement with a TSIG
89 key for security reasons.
90 [ISC-Bugs 30461]
91
cde11a4c
SR
92- Add a configuration option to the server to suppress using fsync().
93 Enabling this option will mean that fsync() is never called. This
94 may provide better performance but there is also a risk that a lease
95 will not be properly written to the disk after it has been issued
96 to a client and before the server stops. Using this option is
97 not recommended.
98
f88446f1
SR
99- Add some logging statements to indicate when the server is ready
100 to serve. One statement is emitted after the server has finished
101 reading its files and is about to enter the dispatch loop.
102 This is "Server starting service.".
103 The second is emitted when a server determines that both it and
104 its failover peer are in the normal state.
105 This is "failover peer <name>: Both servers normal."

120 [ISC-Bugs #26303]
c5bc8b1a 121
cc17cbc3
SR
122- Remove a variable when it isn't being used due to #ifdefs to avoid
123 a compiler warning on Solaris using GCC.
124 [ISC-Bugs #33032]
125
360cc6d9
SR
126- Add a check for too much whitespace in a config or lease file.
127 Thanks to Paolo Pellegrino for finding the issue and a suggestion
128 for the patch.
129 [ISC-Bugs #33351]
08b2d347
SR
130
131- Fix several problems with using OMAPI to manipulate class and subclass
132 objects.
133 [ISC-Bugs #27452]
134
ad4001ce
SR
135- Added a sleep call after killing the old client to allow time
136 for the sockets to be cleaned. This should allow the -r option
137 to work more consistently.
138 [ISC-Bugs #18175]
139
3cb6f9bb
SR
140- Missing files for ISC DHCP Developer's Guide are now included in
141 the release tarballs. To generate this documentation, please use
142 make devel command in doc directory. [ISC-Bugs #32767]
143
f6dc164f
SR
144- Update client script for use with openwrt.
145 [ISC-Bugs #29843]
146
4b8251a0
SR
147- Fix the socket handling for DHCPv6 clients to allow multiple instances
148 of a client on a single machine to work properly. Previously only
149 one client would receive the packets. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat
150 for the bug report and a potential patch.
151 [ISC-Bugs #34784]
152
47e8308d
SR
153- Added support for gentle shutdown after signal is received.
154 [ISC-BUGS #32692]
155
d9b5c150
SR
156- Enhance the DHCPv6 server logging to include the addresses that are assigned
157 to the clients.
158 [ISC-Bugs #26377]
159
9f9265b6
SR
160 Changes since 4.2.4
161
162- Correct code to calculate timing values in client to compare
163 rebind value to infinity instead of renew value.
164 Thanks to Chenda Huang from H3C Technologies Co., Limited
165 for reporting this issue.
166 [ISC-Bugs #29062]
167
35de6c8c
SR
168- Fix some issues in the code for parsing and printing options.
169 [ISC-Bugs #22625] - properly print options that have several fields
170 followed by an array of something for example "fIa"
171 [ISC-Bugs #27289] - properly parse options in declarations that have
172 several fields followed by an array of something for example "fIa"
173 [ISC-Bugs #27296] - properly determine if we parsed a 16 or 32 bit
174 value in evaluate_numeric_expression (extract-int).
175 [ISC-Bugs #27314] - properly parse a zero length option from
176 a lease file. Thanks to Marius Tomaschewski from SUSE for the report
177 and prototype patch for this ticket as well as ticket 27289.
178
de87ffe3
SR
179! Previously the server code was relaxed to allow packets with zero
180 length client ids to be processed. Under some situations use of
181 zero length client ids can cause the server to go into an infinite
182 loop. As such ids are not valid according to RFC 2132 section 9.14
183 the server no longer accepts them. Client ids with a length of 1
184 are also invalid but the server still accepts them in order to
185 minimize disruption. The restriction will likely be tightened in
186 the future to disallow ids with a length of 1.
187 Thanks to Markus Hietava of Codenomicon CROSS project for the
188 finding this issue and CERT-FI for vulnerability coordination.
189 [ISC-Bugs #29851]
190 CVE: CVE-2012-3571
191
e563ec2e
SR
192! When attempting to convert a DUID from a client id option
193 into a hardware address handle unexpected client ids properly.
194 Thanks to Markus Hietava of Codenomicon CROSS project for the
195 finding this issue and CERT-FI for vulnerability coordination.
196 [ISC-Bugs #29852]
197 CVE: CVE-2012-3570
198
3bedb117
SR
199! A pair of memory leaks were found and fixed. Thanks to
200 Glen Eustace of Massey University, New Zealand for finding
201 this issue.
202 [ISC-Bugs #30024]
df2c355e 203 CVE: CVE-2012-3954
3bedb117 204
18a28679
TM
205- Existing legacy unit-tests have been migrated to Automated Test
206 Framework (ATF). Several new tests have been developed. To enable
207 unit-tests, please use --with-atf in configure script. A Developer's
208 Guide has been added. To generate it, please use make devel in
209 the doc directory. It is currently in early stages of development,
210 but is expected to grow in the near future. [ISC-Bugs 25901]
211
0b2ec8c9 212! An issue with the use of lease times was found and fixed. Making
03b44855 213 certain changes to the end time of an IPv6 lease could cause the
0b2ec8c9
SR
214 server to abort. Thanks to Glen Eustace of Massey University,
215 New Zealand for finding this issue.
216 [ISC-Bugs #30281]
217 CVE: CVE-2012-3955
218
67b2cb45
SR
219- Update the memory leakage debug code to work with v6.
220 [ISC-Bugs #30297]
221
74977c94
SR
222- Relax the requirements for deleting an A or AAAA record.
223 Previously the DDNS removal code required both the A or AAAA
224 record and the TXT record to exist. This requirement could
225 cause problems if something interrupted the removal leaving
226 the TXT record alone. This relaxation was codified in RFC 4703.
227 [ISC-Bugs #30734]
228
30e42327
SR
229- Modify the failover code to handle incorrect peer names
230 better. Previously the structure holding the name might
231 have been freed inappropriately in some cases and not
232 freed in other cases.
233 [ISC-Bugs #30320]
234
d5d868e7 235- Add a configure option, enable-secs-byteorder, to deal with
dbd65517
SR
236 clients that do the byte ordering on the secs field incorrectly.
237 This field should be in network byte order but some clients
238 get it wrong. When this option is enabled the server will examine
239 the secs field and if it looks wrong (high byte non zero and low
240 byte zero) swap the bytes. The default is disabled. This option
241 is only useful when doing load balancing within failover.
242 [ISC-Bugs #26108]
243
0f750c4f
SR
244- Fix a set of issues that were discovered via a code inspection
245 tool. Thanks to Jiri Popelka and Tomas Hozza Red Hat for the logs
246 and patches.
247 [ISC-Bugs #23833]
248
962d5eab
SR
249- Parsing unquoted base64 strings improved. Parser now properly handles
250 strings that contain reserved names. [ISC-Bugs #23048]
251
d56788df
SR
252- Modify the nak_lease function to make some attempts to find a
253 server-identifier option to use for the NAK.
254 [ISC-Bugs #25689]
255
10613724
SR
256- The client now passes information about the options it requested
257 from the server to the script code via environment variables.
258 These variables are of the form requested_<option_name>=1 with
259 the option name being the same as used in the new_* and old_*
260 variables.
3aa562f8 261 [ISC-Bugs #29068]
10613724 262
f8380d3f
SR
263- Add support for a simple check that the server id in a request message
264 to a failover peer matches the server id of the server. This support
265 is enabled by editing the file includes/site.h and uncommenting the
266 definition for SERVER_ID_CHECK. The option has several restrictions
267 and issues - please read the comment in the site.h file before
268 enabling it.
269 [ISC-Bugs #31463]
270
d5d868e7 271- Tidy up some compiler issues in the debug code.
0d93c339
SR
272 [ISC-Bugs #26460]
273
9ff4e0a2
SR
274- Move the dhcpd.conf exmample file to dhcpd.conf.example to avoid
275 overwriting the dhcpd.conf file when installing a new version of
276 ISC DHCP. The user will now need to manual copy and edit the
277 dhcpd.conf file as desired.
278 [ISC-Bugs #19337]
279
1e2a127b
SR
280- Check the status value when trying to read from a connection to
281 see if it may have been closed. If it appears closed don't try
282 to read from it again. This avoids a potential busy-wait like
283 loop when the peer names are mismatched.
284 [ISC-Bugs #31231]
285
d5d868e7 286- Remove an unused variable to keep compilers happy.
8acc987b
SR
287 [ISC-Bugs #31983]
288
b89b8e16
SR
289- Modify test makefiles to be more similar to standard makefiles
290 and comment out a currently unused test.
56c0e681 291 [ISC-Bugs #32089]
b89b8e16 292
b95f1ee0
SR
293 Changes since 4.2.3
294
295! Add a check for a null pointer before calling the regexec function.
dc6908b4 296 Without this check we could, under some circumstances, pass
b95f1ee0 297 a null pointer to the regexec function causing it to segfault.
317d1182 298 Thanks to a report from BlueCat Networks.
b95f1ee0 299 [ISC-Bugs #26704].
846af1cd 300 CVE: CVE-2011-4539
b95f1ee0 301
0ef9a46e
SR
302! Modify the DDNS handling code. In a previous patch we added logging
303 code to the DDNS handling. This code included a bug that caused it
304 to attempt to dereference a NULL pointer and eventually segfault.
305 While reviewing the code as we addressed this problem, we determined
306 that some of the updates to the lease structures would not work as
307 planned since the structures being updated were in the process of
308 being freed: these updates were removed. In addition we removed an
309 incorrect call to the DDNS removal function that could cause a failure
310 during the removal of DDNS information from the DNS server.
311 Thanks to Jasper Jongmans for reporting this issue.
312 [ISC-Bugs #27078]
313 CVE: CVE-2011-4868
314
de6c9af6
SR
315- Fixed the code that checks if an address the server is planning
316 to hand out is in a reserved range. This would appear as
317 the server being out of addresses in pools with particular ranges.
318 [ISC-Bugs #26498]
319
87132514
SR
320- In the DDNS code handle error conditions more gracefully and add more
321 logging code. The major change is to handle unexpected cancel events
322 from the DNS client code.
cfc49463 323 [ISC-Bugs #26287]
87132514 324
cfc49463 325- Tidy up the receive calls and eliminate the need for found_pkt.
865afd5e
SR
326 [ISC-Bugs #25066]
327
b047bd38
SR
328- Add support for Infiniband over sockets to the server and
329 relay code. We've tested this on Solaris and hope to expand
330 support for Infiniband in the future. This patch also corrects
53394a8d
SR
331 some issues we found in the socket code.
332 [ISC-Bugs #24245]
b047bd38 333
e3c94800
SR
334- Add a compile time check for the presence of the noreturn attribute
335 and use it for log_fatal if it's available. This will help code
336 checking programs to eliminate false positives.
d13db163 337 [ISC-Bugs #27539]
e3c94800 338
dd9237c3
TM
339- Fixed many compilation problems ("set, but not used" warnings) for
340 gcc 4.6 that may affect Ubuntu 11.10 users. [ISC-Bugs #27588]
341
d13db163
SR
342- Modify the code that determines if an outstanding DDNS request
343 should be cancelled. This patch results in cancelling the
344 outstanding request less often. It fixes the problem caused
cfc49463 345 by a client doing a release where the TXT and PTR records
d13db163
SR
346 weren't removed from the DNS.
347 [ISC-BUGS #27858]
348
b342f2e7
SR
349- Use offsetof() instead of sizeof() to get the sizes for dhcpv6_relay_packet
350 and dhcpv6_packet in several more places. Thanks to a report from
351 Bruno Verstuyft and Vincent Demaertelaere of Excentis.
352 [ISC-Bugs #27941]
353
cfc49463
SR
354- Remove outdated note in the description of the bootp keyword about the
355 option not satisfying the requirement of failover peers for denying
356 dynamic bootp clients.
797aab67
SR
357 [ISC-bugs #28574]
358
bc7f8b8e
SR
359- Multiple items to clean up IPv6 address processing.
360 When processing an IA that we've seen check to see if the
361 addresses are usable (not in use by somebody else) before
362 handing it out.
363 When reading in leases from the file discard expired addresses.
364 When picking an address for a client include the IA ID in
365 addition to the client ID to generally pick different addresses
366 for different IAs.

369
d289ee68
SR
370- Remove unnecessary checks in the lease query code and clean up
371 several compiler issues (some dereferences of NULL and treating
372 an int as a boolean).
373 [ISC-Bugs #26203]
374
d19fa5a1
SR
375- Fix the NA and PD allocation code to handle the case where a client
376 provides a preference and the server doesn't have any addresses or
cfc49463
SR
377 prefixes available. Previously the server ignored the request with
378 this patch it replies with a NoAddrsAvail or NoPrefixAvail response.
d19fa5a1 379 By default the code performs according to the errata of August 2010
53394a8d 380 for RFC 3315 section 17.2.2; to enable the previous style see the
cfc49463 381 section on RFC3315_PRE_ERRATA_2010_08 in includes/site.h. This option
d19fa5a1
SR
382 may be removed in the future.
383 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the patch.

d208bb04
SR
396 Changes since 4.2.2
397
398- Fix the code that checks for an existing DDNS transaction to cancel
399 when removing DDNS information, so that we will continue with the
400 processing if we have a lease even if it doesn't have an outstanding
401 transaction. [ISC-Bugs #24682]
402
25f664a6
SR
403- Add AM_MAINTAINER_MODE to configure.ac to avoid rebuilding
404 configuration files. [ISC-Bugs #24107]

422
423- Add the option "--no-pid" to the client, relay and server code,
424 to disable writing a pid file. Add the option "-pf pidfile"
425 to the relay to allow the user to supply the pidfile name at
426 runtime. Add the "with-relay6-pid-file" option to configure
427 to allow the user to supply the pidfile name for the relay
428 in v6 mode at configure time.

431- 'dhclient' no longer waits a random interval after first starting up to
432 begin in the INIT state. This conforms to RFC 2131, but elects not to
433 implement a 'SHOULD' direction in section 4.1. The goal of this change
73c83820 434 is to start up faster. [ISC-Bugs #19660]
5d082abd
TM
435
436- Added 'initial-delay' parameter that specifies maximum amount of time
437 before client goes to the INIT state. The default value is 0. In previous
438 versions of the code client could wait up to 5 seconds. The old behavior
439 may be restored by using 'initial-delay 5;' in the client config file.

441
442- ICMP ping-check should now sit closer to precisely the number of seconds
443 configured (or default 1), due to making use of the new microsecond
444 scale timer internally to dhcpd. This corrects a bug where the server
445 may immediately timeout an ICMP ping-check if it was made late in the
73c83820 446 current second. [ISC-Bugs #19660]
5d082abd
TM
447
448- The DHCP client will schedule renewal and rebinding events in
449 microseconds if the DHCP server provided a lease-time that would result
450 in sub-1-second timers. This corrects a bug where a 2-second or lower
451 lease-time would cause the DHCP client to enter an infinite loop by
73c83820 452 scheduling renewal at zero seconds. [ISC-Bugs #19660]
5d082abd
TM
453
454- Client lease records are recorded at most once every 15 seconds. This
455 keeps the client from filling the lease database disk quickly on very small
73c83820 456 lease times. [ISC-Bugs #19660]
5d082abd
TM
457
458- To defend against RFC 2131 non-compliant DHCP servers which fail to
459 advertise a lease-time (either mangled, or zero in value) the DHCP
460 client now adds the server to the reject list ACL and returns to INIT
461 state to hopefully find an RFC 2131 compliant server (or retry in INIT
73c83820 462 forever). [ISC-Bugs #19660]

463
464- Parameters configured to evaluate from user defined function calls can
465 now be correctly written to dhcpd.leases (as on 'on events' or dynamic
466 host records inserted via OMAPI). [ISC-Bugs #22266]
467
468- If a 'next-server' parameter is configured in a dynamic host record via
469 OMAPI as a domain name, the syntax written to disk is now correctly parsed
470 upon restart. [ISC-Bugs #22266]

471
472- The DHCP server now responds to DHCPLEASEQUERY messages from agents using
473 IP addresses not covered by a subnet in configuration. Whether or not to
474 respond to such an agent is still governed by the 'allow leasequery;'
475 configuration parameter, in the case of an agent not covered by a configured
476 subnet the root configuration area is examined. Server now also returns
477 vendor-class-id option, if client sent it. [ISC-Bugs #21094]

819- An optimization described in the failover protocol draft is now included,
820 which permits a DHCP server operating in communications-interrupted state
821 to 'rewind' a lease to the state most recently transmitted to its peer,
822 greatly increasing a server's endurance in communications-interrupted.
823 This is supported using a new 'rewind state' record on the dhcpd.leases
824 entry for each lease.

830- Failover port configuration can now be left to defaults (port 647) as
831 described in the -12 revision of the Failover draft (and assigned by
4b97eaff 832 IANA). Thanks in part to a patch from David Cantrell at Red Hat.

DH
843- A new failover configuration parameter has been introduced for those
844 environments where DHCP servers can be reasonably guaranteed to be
845 "down" when the failover TCP socket is severed, "auto-partner-down".
846 This parameter is not generally safe, and by default is disabled, so
847 please carefully review the documentation of this parameter in the
848 dhcpd.conf(5) manpage before determining to use it yourself.
849
33ea4622
DH
850- Added a configuration function, 'gethostname()', which calls the system
851 function of the same name and presents the results as a data expression.
852 This function can be used to incorporate the system level hostname of
853 the system the DHCP software is operating on in responses or queries (such
854 as including a failover partner's hostname in a dhcp message or binding
855 scope, or having a DHCP client send any system hostname in the host-name or
856 FQDN options by default).
857

DH
858- The dhcp-renewal-time and dhcp-rebinding-time options may now be configured
859 for DHCPv4 operation and used independently of the dhcp-lease-time
860 calculations. Invalid renew and rebinding times (e.g., greater than the
861 determined lease time) are omitted.
862
98bf1607 863- Processing the DHCP to DNS server transactions in an asyncrhonous fashion.
09afca0d 864 The DHCP server or client can now continue with its processing while
98bf1607 865 awaiting replies from the DNS server.

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

DH
909- A bug in DLPI packet transmission (Solaris, HP/UX) that caused the server
910 to stop receiving packets is fixed. The same fix also means that the MAC
911 address will no longer appear 'bogus' on DLPI-based systems.
912
913- A bug in select handling was discovered where the results of one select()
914 call were discarded, causing the server to process the next select() call
915 and use more system calls than required. This has been repaired - the
916 sockets will be handled after the first return from select(), resulting in
917 fewer system calls.
918
a3dcc0b1
DH
919- The update-conflict-detection feature would leave an FQDN updated without
920 a DHCID (still currently implemented as a TXT RR). This would cause later
921 expiration or release events to fail to remove the domain name. The feature
922 now also inserts the client's up to date DHCID record, so records may safely
923 be removed at expiration or release time. Thanks to a patch submitted by
924 Christof Chen.

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

950 in scheduling a failover reconnection, if the link had not negotiated a

952 timeouts).

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

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

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

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

995 fixed-address6 (DHCPv6) is in use or not. Host scoped configuration takes
996 precedence. This fixes two bugs, one where host scoped configuration
997 would not be included from a non-fixed-address6 host record, and the equal
998 and opposite bug where subnet6 scoped configuration would not be used when
571c38b0 999 over-riding values were not present in a matching fixed-address6 host

SR
1005- Modified the handling of a connection to avoid releasing the omapi io
1006 object for the connection while it is still in use. One symptom from
1007 this error was a segfault when a failover secondary attempted to connect
1008 to the failover primary if their clocks were not synchronized.

SR
1010- Clean up to allow compilation with gcc 2.95.4 on FreeBSD. Remove an
1011 extra semi-colon from common/dns.c and moved setting a variable to NULL
1012 in server/dhcpv6.c to allow the compiler to decide that the variable
1013 was always properly set.

DH
1119- A bug in subnet6 parsing where options contained in subnet6 clauses would
1120 not be applied to clients addressed within that network was repaired.
1121
1122- When configuring a "subnet {}" or "subnet6 {}" without an explicit
1123 shared-network enclosing it, the DHCP software would synthesize a
1124 shared-network to contain the subnet. However, all configuration
1125 parameters within the subnet more intuitively belong "to any client
1126 on that interface", or rather the synthesized shared-network. So,
1127 when a shared-network is synthesized, it is used to contain the
1128 configuration present inside the subnet {} clause. This means that
1129 the configuration will be valid for all clients on that network, not
1130 just those addressed out of the stated subnet. If you intended the
1131 opposite, the workaround is to explicitly configure an empty
1132 shared-network.
1133
1134- A bug was fixed where Information-Request processing was not sourcing
1135 configured option values.

EH
1190- The dhclient-script was updated to create a host route for the default
1191 gateway if the supplied subnet mask for an IPv4 address was a /32. This
1192 allows the client to work in 'captive' network environments, where the
1193 operator does not want clients to crosstalk directly.
1194
1195- MINUS tokens should be parseable again.
1196
1197- Multiple (up to "delayed-ack x;" maximum) DHCPv4 packets are now queued and
1198 released in bursts after single fsync() events when the upper limit is
1199 reached or if the receiving sockets go dry. The practical upshot is
1200 that fsync-coupled server performance is now multiplicitively increased.
1201 The default delayed ack limit is 28. Thanks entirely to a patch from
1202 Christof Chen.

1239 broke a lot of legacy site local configurations. The new code in place will
1240 track site local space minimum option codes and logs a warning to encourage

1242 codes less than 128 in site local spaces remain inaccessible.

1244- A possible relay agent option bug was repaired where random server
1245 initialization state may have been used to signal the relay agent
1246 information options sub-option code for the 'END' of the option space.

SK
1250- Fixes to allow code to compile on Mac OS X Leopard (10.5).

SK
1252- When server is configured with options that it overrides, a warning is
1253 issued when the configuration file is read, rather than at the time the
1254 option is overridden. This was important, because the warning was given
1255 every time the option was overridden, which could create a lot of
1256 unnecessary logging.
1257
219a65eb
DH
1258- Fixed a compilation problems on platforms that define a value for FDDI,
1259 which conflicts with a dhcp configuration syntax token by the same name.
1260
ffdf3c8c
DH
1261- When a failover server suspects it has encountered a peer running a
1262 version 3.0.x failover server, a warning that the failover wire protocol
1263 is incompatible is printed.

1265- The failover server no longer issues a floating point error if it encounters
1266 a previously undefined option code.

1268- Fix startup error messages to report a missing "subnet6 declaration", rather
1269 than a missing "subnet declaration", when running as a DHCPv6 server.

1271- DHCPv6 client timestamp in DUID was based on the year 1970 rather
1272 than the year 2000.

1280 Changes since 4.0.0b3
1281
1282- The reverse dns name for PTR updates on IPv6 addresses has been fixed to
1283 use ip6.arpa. rather than default to in-addr.arpa and require user
1284 configuration.
76db44f9 1285
e32529a5
EH
1286- dhc6_lease_destroy() and dhc6_ia_destroy() now set lease and IA pointers
1287 to NULL after freeing, to prevent subsequent accesses to freed memory.
1288
76db44f9
SK
1289- The DHCPv6 server would not send the preference option unless the
1290 client requested it, via the ORO. This has been fixed, so the DHCPv6
1291 server will always send the preference value if it is configured.
e4a6be15 1292
6f76de58
SK
1293- When addresses were passed as hints to the server in an IA, they were
1294 incorrectly handled, sometimes being treated as an error. Now the
1295 server will treat these as hints and ignore them if it cannot supply
1296 a requested address.
1297
703873ab
DH
1298- If the client had multiple addresses, and one expired (was not renewed
1299 by the server), the client would continue to attempt to renew the same
1300 old address over and over. Now, the client will omit any expired
1301 addresses from future Confirm, Renew, or Rebind messages.
1302
1303- dhclient -6 will now select renew/rebind timers based upon the longest
1304 address expiration time rather than the shortest expiration time, in
1305 order to avoid cascading renewals in the event a server elects not to
1306 extend one of multiple IAADDR leases.
1307
b024480e
DH
1308- The server now limits clients that request multiple addresses to one
1309 address per IA by default, which can be adjusted through the
1310 "limit-addrs-per-ia" configuration option.
1311
c0216cb7
DH
1312- The DHCPv6 client now issues fresh transaction IDs on Renew and Rebind
1313 message exchanges, rather than using the most recent ID.

f8b3c6f4
DH
1328- ./configure now autodetects local database locations rather than trying
1329 to put dhcpd.leases and dhclient.leases in /usr/local/var/db, which no
1330 one ever has.

1332- Regression fix for bug where server advertised a IPv6 address in
1333 response to a SOLICIT but would not return the address in response
1334 to a REQUEST.

DH
1344- Relative time may now be used as a qualifier for 'allow' and 'deny' access
1345 control lists. These directives may be used to assist in re-addressing
1346 address pools without having to constantly reconfigure the server. Please
1347 see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more information on allow/deny 'after time' syntax.
1348 Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen.

1350- The server will now include multiple IA_NA's and multiple IAADDRs within
1351 them, if advertised by the client. It still only seeks to allocate one
1352 new address.

1356- Use different paths for PID and lease files when running in DHCPv4
1357 or DHCPv6 mode, so that servers for both protcols can be run
1358 simultaneously on a single interface.

1368- The peer_wants_leases() changes pulled up from 3.1.0 were corrected,
1369 'never used' leases will no longer consistently shift between servers
1370 on every pool rebalance run.

884a458f
SK
1380- The DHCP server no longer requires a "ddns-update-style" statement,
1381 and now defaults to "none", which means DNS updates are disabled.

1383- Log messages when failover peer names mismatch have been improved to
1384 point out the problem.

1393- Fixed a ./configure bug where compile tests were failing due to
1394 "-Werror" (unused variable) rather than the actual test failure. Lead
1395 to inconsistent and unworkable auto-configurations.

1402- DHCPv6 server Confirm message processing has been enhanced - it no
1403 longer replies only to clients with host {} records, it now replies
1404 as directed in RFC3315 section 18.2.2 - that is, to all clients
1405 regardless of the existence of bindings.

DH
1407- A core dump during expired lease cleanup has been repaired.
1408
7285af30
DH
1409- DDNS updates state information are now stored in 'binding scopes' that
1410 follow the leases through their lifecycles. This enables DDNS teardowns
1411 on leases that are assigned and expired inbetween a server restart (the
1412 state is recovered from dhcpd.leases). Arbitrary user-specified binding
1413 scopes ('set var = "value";') are not yet supported.

1434 would segfault if a client attempted to renew a lease that had been
1435 loaded from persistent storage.
1436
45d545f0 1437- 'request' and 'also request' syntaxes have been added to accommodate
0c20eab3

1442 zero-length options; this made it impossible to set the
1443 rapid-commit option.

1461 apply to any architecture that supplies SIOCGLIFCONF but does not
1462 use 'struct lifconf' structures to pass values.

a512d11b 1507
4ba58919
DH
1508- DHCPv4 I/O methods that failed to sense hardware address were corrected.
1509
1510- DHCPv4 is now the default (as documented) rather than DHCPv6. The default
1511 was set to DHCPv6 to facilitate ease early development, and forgotten.
1512
1513- Corrected a segmentation violation in DHCPv4 socket processing.
1514
8ea19a71 1515- dhclient will now fork() into the background once it binds to an
45d545f0 1516 IPv6 address, or immediately if the -n flag is supplied.
8ea19a71

1527 Changes since 3.1.0 (NEW FEATURES)
1528
1529- DHCPv6 Client and Server protocol support. Use '-6' to run the daemons
1530 as v6-only. Use '-4' to run the daemons as v4-only (default. There is
1531 no support currently for both.
1532
1533- Server support for multiple IA_NA options, containing at most one
1534 IAADDR option.
1535
1536- Client support for one IA_NA option, containing any number of IAADDR
1537 options.
1538
1539- Server support for the DHCPv6 Information-request message.
1540
1541- Inappropriate unicast DHCPv6 messages sent to the server are now
1542 discarded, and this has rearchitected the IO system slightly.
1543
1544- The DHCPv6 server DUID defaults to type 1, is persistently stored in
1545 the leases database, and can be over-ridden (either completely, or by
1546 specifying type 1 or type 2).
1547
1548- The server only uses Rapid-Commit if it has been configured with the
1549 Rapid-Commit option and the client requests it.
1550
1551- DDNS support. We now update AAAA records in the same place we would
1552 update A records, if we have an IPv6 address. We also generate IP6.ARPA
1553 style names for PTR records if we're dealing with an IPv6 address. Both
1554 A and AAAA updates are done using the same 'fqdn.' virtual option space
1555 (although the DHCPv4 FQDN and DHCPv6 FQDN options are formatted
1556 differently, they both use the same code here).
1557
1558- The Linux dhclient-script attempts to set and remove assigned addresses,
1559 and to configure /etc/resolv.conf from nameserver and domain name
1560 configurations. It can be extended to configure other parameters.
1561
1562- Initial DHCPv6 lease support.
1563
1564- The IO system now tracks all local IP addresses, so that the DHCP
1565 applications (particularly the dhcrelay) can discern between what frames
1566 were transmitted to it, and what frames are being carried through it which
1567 it should not intercept.
1568

DH
1569 Changes since 3.1.0 (Maintenance)
1570

1572 mapped to the primary. Virgin leases now have an interleaved preference
1573 between primary and secondary.
1574
1575- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for clients with no client
1576 identifier was sometimes mishashed to the peer. Load balancing during
1577 runtime and pool rebalancing were opposing.

1579- An assertion in lease counting relating to reserved leases was repaired.
1580
e9c59645
DH
1581- The subnet-mask option inclusion now conforms with RFC2132 section 3.3;
1582 it will only appear prior to the routers option if it is present on the
1583 Parameter-Request-List. The subnet-mask option will also only be
1584 included by default (if it is not on the PRL) in response to DISCOVER
1585 or REQUEST messages.
1586
1587- The FQDN option is only supplied if the client supplied an FQDN option or
1588 if the FQDN option was explicitly requested on the PRL.

DH
1597 Changes since 3.1.0b2
1598
1599- Failover rebalance events no longer play ping pong with round errors
1600 (moving leases between free and back to backup where there are an
1601 odd number of leases).
1602
1603- The 'pool' log line has been split into two messages, one before the
1604 rebalance run, and one after.
1605
1606- Any queued BNDACKs are transmitted before transmitting new BNDUPDs.
1607 This enforces the correct sequence of events for the remote server
1608 processing these messages.

1613 objects.
1614
1ba87b37
EH
1615- A new server config option "fqdn-reply" specifies whether the server
1616 should send out option 81 (FQDN). Defaults to "on". If set to "off",
1617 the FQDN option is not sent, even if the client requested it. This is
1618 needed because some clients misbehave otherwise. Thanks to Christof Chen
1619 at Allianz.

1621- Allow trace output files (-tf option) to be overwritten, rather than
1622 crashing dhcpd if the file already exists
1623

1627- Some uninitialized values were repaired in dhcpleasequery.c that
1628 caused the server to abort.
1629

DH
1630- A new server config option, 'do-reverse-updates', has been added
1631 which causes the server to abstain from performing updates on PTR
1632 records. Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen at Allianz.

DH
1666- The servers now try harder to transmit pending binding updates when
1667 entering normal state.

6708d944
DH
1676- Some default hash table sizes were tweaked, some upwards, some downwards.
1677 3.1.0a1's tables resulted in a reduction in default server memory use.
1678 The new selected values provide more of a zero sum (increasing the size
1679 of tables likely to be populated, decreasing the size of tables unlikely).
1680
45d545f0 1681- Lease structures appear in three separate hashes: by IP address, by UID,
6708d944
DH
1682 and by hardware address. One type of table was used for all three, and
1683 improvements to IP address hashing were applied to all three (so UID and
1684 hardware addresses were treated like 4-byte integers). There are now two
1685 types of tables, and the uid/hw hashes use functions more appropriate
1686 to their needs.
1687
1688- The max-lease-misbalance percentage no longer causes scheduled rebalance
1689 runs to be skipped: it still governs the schedule, but every scheduled
1690 run will attempt balance.
1691
a7ee93fe
DH
1692- A segfault bug in recursive encapsulation support has been corrected.
1693
98311e4b
DH
1694 Changes since 3.0 (New Features)
1695
1696- A workaround for certain STSN servers that send a mangled domain-name
1697 option was introduced for dhclient. The client will now accept corrupted
1698 server responses, if they contain a valid DHCP_MESSAGE_TYPE (OFFER, ACK,
1699 or NAK). The server will continue to not accept corrupt client packets.
1700
98bd7ca0 1701- Support for 'reserved' (pseudo-static) and BOOTP leases via failover
a55ccdd0 1702 was introduced.
98311e4b
DH
1703
1704- Support for adding, removing, and managing class and subclass statements
1705 via OMAPI.
1706
a55ccdd0
DH
1707- The failover implementation was updated to comply with revision 12 of
1708 the protocol draft.
1709
98311e4b
DH
1710- 'make install' now creates the initial zero-length dhcpd.leases file if
1711 one does not already exist on the system.
1712
b43c87ad 1713- RFC3942 compliance, site-local option spaces start at 224 now, not 128.
b43c87ad 1714
0b17f049
DH
1715- The Load Balance Algorithm was misimplemented. The current implementation
1716 matches RFC 3074.
1717
2727c1cf
DH
1718- lcase() and ucase() configuration expressions have been added which adjust
1719 their arguments from upper to lower and lower to upper cases respectively.
2714a8ef 1720 Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
2727c1cf 1721
febbd402
DH
1722- The dhclient 'reject ...;' statement, which rejects leases given by named
1723 server-identifiers, now permits address ranges to be specified in CIDR
7d7073e7 1724 notation. Thanks to a patch from David Boyce.
febbd402 1725
ee912528
DH
1726- The subnet-mask option is now supplied by default, but at lowest
1727 priority. This helps a small minority of clients that provide parameter
1728 request lists, but do not list the subnet-mask option because they were
1729 designed to interoperate with a server that behaves in this manner.
1730
1731- The FQDN option is similarly supplied even if it does not appear on the
1732 parameter request list, but not to the exclusion of options that do
1733 appear at the parameter request list. Up until now it had ultimate
1734 priority over the client's parameter request list.
1735
f7fdb216 1736- Varying option space code and length bit widths (8/16/32) are now
51202707 1737 supported. This is a milestone in achieving RFC 3925 "VIVSO" and
f7fdb216
DH
1738 DHCPv6 support.
1739
5e864416
DH
1740- A new common (server or client) option, 'db-time-format local;', has
1741 been added which prints the local time in /var/db/dhcpd.leases rather
1742 than UTC. Thanks to a patch from Ken Lalonde.
1743
b500bd4c
DH
1744- Some patches to improve DHCP Server startup speed from Andrew Matheson
1745 have been incorporated.
1746
2426234f
DH
1747- Failover pairs now implement 'MAC Affinity' on leases moving from the
1748 active to free states. Leases that belonged to the failover secondary
1749 are moved to BACKUP state rather than FREE upon exiting EXPIRED state.
1750 If lease rebalancing must move leases, it tries first to move leases
1751 that belong to the peer in need.
1752
1753- The server no longer sends POOLREQ messages unless the pool is severely
1754 misbalanced in the peer's favor (see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more details).
1755
1756- Pool rebalance events no longer happen upon successfully allocating a
1757 lease. Instead, they happen on a schedule. See 'man dhcpd.conf' for the
1758 min-balance and max-balance statements for more information.
1759
334bf491
DH
1760- The DHCP Relay Agent Information Option / Link Selection Sub-Option
1761 is now supported. (See RFC3527 for details).
1762
3004bebf
DH
1763- A new DDNS related server option, update-conflict-detection, has been
1764 added. If this option is enabled, dhcpd will perform normal DHCID
1765 conflict resolution (the default). If this option is disabled, it will
1766 instead trust the assigned name implicitly (removing any other bindings
1767 on that name). This option has not been made available in dhclient.
1768
567e8561
DH
1769- In those cases where the DHCP software manufactures an IP header (to
1770 transmit via bpf, lpf, etc), the IP TTL the software selects has been
1771 increased from 16 to 128. This is intended to match Microsoft Windows
1772 DHCP Client behaviour, to increase compatibility.
1773
a396d25f
DH
1774- 'ignore client-updates;' now has behaviour that is different from
1775 'deny client-updates;'. The client's request is not truly ignored,
1776 rather it is encouraged. Should this value be configured, the server
1777 updates DNS as though client-updates were set to 'deny'. That is, it
1778 enters into DNS whatever it is configured to do already, provided it is
1779 configured to. Then it sends a response to the client that lets the
1780 client believe it is performing client updates (which it will), probably
1781 for a different name. In essence, this lets the client do as it will,
1782 ignoring this aspect of their request.
1783
dba5803b
DH
1784- Support for compressed 'domain name list' style DHCP option contents, and
1785 in particular the domain search option (#119) was added.
1786
41e45067 1787- The DHCP LEASEQUERY protocol as defined in RFC4388 is now implemented.
6d103865
SK
1788 LEASEQUERY lets you query the DHCP server for information about a lease,
1789 using either an IP address, MAC address, or client identifier. Thanks
1790 to a patch from Justin Haddad.
1791
41e45067
DH
1792- DHCPD is now RFC2131 section 4.1 compliant (broadcast to all-ones ip and
1793 ethernet mac address) on the SCO platform specifically without any strange
1794 ifconfig hacks. Many thanks go to the Kroger Co. for donating the
1795 hardware and funding the development.
6d103865 1796
b543fea9
DH
1797- A new common configuration executable statement, execute(), has been
1798 added. This permits dhcpd or dhclient to execute a named external
1799 program with command line arguments specified from other configuration
1800 language. Thanks to a patch written by Mattias Ronnblom, gotten to us
1801 via Robin Breathe.
1802
b22de500
DH
1803- A new dhcp server option 'adaptive-lease-time-threshold' has been added
1804 which causes the server to substantially reduce lease-times if there are
1805 few (configured percentage) remaining leases. Thanks to a patch submitted
1806 from Christof Chen.
1807
96bbe8c5
SK
1808- Encapsulated option spaces within encapsulated option spaces is now
1809 formally supported.
1810
b8221d95
DH
1811 Changes since 3.0.6rc1
1812
1813- supersede_lease() now requeues leases in their respective hardware
1814 address hash bucket. This mirrors client identifier behaviour.
1815
c1e6c832
DH
1816 Changes since 3.0.5
1817
f546c28b
DH
1818- Assorted fixes for broken network devices: Packet length is now
1819 determined from the IP header length field to finally calculate the
1820 UDP payload length, because some NIC drivers return more data than
5a22eb63 1821 they actually received.
f546c28b
DH
1822
1823- UDP packets are now stored in aligned data structures.
1824
c1e6c832
DH
1825- A logic error in omapi interface code was repaired that might result in
1826 incorrectly indicating 'up' state when any flags were set, rather than
23e10d37
DH
1827 specifically the INTERFACE_REQUESTED flag. Thanks to a patch from
1828 Jochen Voss which got to us via Andrew Pollock at Debian.
c1e6c832 1829
75ab3070
DH
1830- A reference leak on binding scopes set by ddns updates was repaired.
1831
d69fb6a8 1832- A memory leak in the minires_nsendsigned() function call was repaired.
23e10d37 1833 Effectively, this leaked ~176 bytes per DDNS update.
d69fb6a8 1834
02428754
DH
1835- In the case where an "L2" DHCP Relay Agent (one that does not set giaddr)
1836 was directly attached to the same broadcast domain as the DHCP server,
1837 the RFC3046 relay agent information option was not being returned to the
1838 relay in the server's replies. This was fixed; the dhcp server no longer
1839 requires the giaddr to reply with relay agent information. Note that
1840 this also improves compatibility with L2 devices that "intercept" DHCP
1841 packets and expect relay agent information even in unicast (renewal)
23e10d37
DH
1842 replies. Thanks to a patch from Pekka Silvonen.
1843
1844- A bug was fixed where the BOOTP header 'sname' field had a value, the
1845 copy written to persistent storage was actually the contents of the
1846 'file' field.
02428754 1847
ecde99a3
DH
1848- A bug was fixed where the nwip virtual option space was referencing
1849 the fqdn option's virtual option space's option cache.
1850
67674ffb
DH
1851- Timestamp parsing errors that indicated missing "minutes" fields rather
1852 than the actually missing "seconds" fields have been repaired thanks to
1853 a patch from Kevin Steves.
1854
830ebc4c
DH
1855- A grammar error in the dhclient.8 manpage was repaired thanks to a patch
1856 from Chris Wagner.
1857
c759db75
DH
1858- Several spelling typos were repaired, and some cross-references to other
1859 relevant documents were included in the manpages, thanks to a patch
1860 by Andrew Pollock which got to us via Tomas Pospisek.
1861
9aa3f3a5
DH
1862- Some bugs were fixed in the 'emergency relay agent options hologram'
1863 which is used to retain relay agent option contents from when the
1864 client was in INIT or REBIND states. This should solve problems where
1865 relay agent options were not echoed from the server, even when giaddr
1866 was set.
1867
3d0c598a
DH
1868- dhclient now closes its descriptor to dhclient.leases prior to executing
1869 dhclient-script. Thanks to a patch from Tomas Pospisek.
1870
d5b6835f
DH
1871- The server's "by client-id" and "by hardware address" hash table lists
1872 are now sorted according to the preference to re-allocate that lease to
1873 returning clients. This should eliminate pool starvation problems
1874 arising when "INIT" clients were given new leases rather than presently
1875 active ones.
1876
02428754 1877 Changes since 3.0.5rc1
0a73b7b6 1878
901306d5 1879- A bug was repaired in fixes to the dhclient, which sought to run the
0a73b7b6
SK
1880 dhclient-script with the 'EXPIRE' state should it receive a NAK in
1881 response to a REQUEST. The client now iterates the PREINIT state
1882 after the EXPIRE state, so that interfaces that might be configured
1883 'down' can be brought back 'up' and initialized.
1884
87a08ccc
DH
1885- DHCPINFORM handling for clients that properly set ciaddr and come to the
1886 server via a relay aget has been repaired.
1887
6da113fb
DH
1888 Changes since 3.0.4
1889
1890- A warning that host statements declared within subnet or shared-network
1891 scopes are actually global has been added.
1892
1893- The default minimum lease time (if min-lease-time was not specified)
1894 was raised from 0 to 300. 0 is not thought to be sensible, and is
1895 known to be damaging.
1896
1897- Added additional fatal error sanity checks surrounding lease binding
1898 state count calculations (free/active counts used for failover pool
1899 balancing).
1900
dcc557db
DH
1901- Some time value size fixes in 3.0.4 brought on from FreeBSD /usr/ports were
1902 misapplied to server values rather than client values. The server no longer
1903 advertises 8-byte lease-time options when on 64-bit platforms.
1904
1b2ab55f
DH
1905- A bug where leases not in ACTIVE state would get billed to billed classes
1906 (classes with lease limitations) was fixed. Non-active leases OFFERed
1907 to clients are no longer billed (but billing is checked before offering).
1908
e48891e8
DH
1909- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated in regard to the ddns-domainname
1910 configuration option - the default configuration and results should be
1911 more clear now.
1912
6cbc6629
DH
1913- If the dhclient were to receive a DHCPNAK while it was in the RENEW
1914 state (and consequently, had an active, 'bound' address and related
1915 configuration options), it would fail to 'tear down' this information
1916 before proceeding into INIT state. dhclient now iterates the dhclient-
1917 script with the 'EXPIRE' action to cause these teardowns prior to entering
1d3bfb17 1918 INIT state. Thanks to a patch from Chris Zimmerman.
6cbc6629 1919
c5fec5fa
DH
1920- The omapi.1 manpage had some formatting errors repaired thanks to a patch
1921 from Yoshihiko Sarumaru.
1922
33e1cb2b
DH
1923- A few lines of code that were failover-specific were moved within
1924 #if defined() clauses so that compilation without failover could be
1925 made possible.
1926
2bddf829
DH
1927- The log message emitted when the 'leased-address' value was not available
1928 in dhcpd.conf "executable statements" has been updated to be more helpful.
1929 Manpage information for this value has also been updated.
1930
87578987
DH
1931- Abandoned or dissociated (err condition) leases now remove any related
1932 dynamic dns bindings. Thanks to a patch from Patrick Schoo.
1933
e77c575f
DH
1934- Attempting to write a new lease file to replace a corrupt (due to
1935 encountering non-retryable errors during writing) lease file should
1936 no longer result in an infinite recursion.
1937
2178df03
DH
1938- Host declaration hardware addresses and client identifiers may only be
1939 configured once. dhcpd will now fail to load config files that specify
1940 multiple identifiers (previous versions would silently over-ride the
1941 value with the later configured value).
1942
d5341d9b
SK
1943- Several option codes that have been allocated since our last release
1944 have been named and documented.
1945
1946- Option names of the form "unknown-123" have been removed from the in-
1947 memory hash tables. In order to support options of these names that
1948 may appear in dhclient.leases or similar in previous versions, the
1949 parser will now find the new option code definition, or mock up a
1950 generic option code definition. This should result in a smooth
1951 transition from one name to the other, as the new name is used to
1952 write new output.
1953
6da113fb
DH
1954 Changes since 3.0.4rc1
1955
1956- The dhcp-options.5 manpage was updated to correct indentation errors
1957 thanks to a patch from Jean Delvare.
1958
1959 Changes since 3.0.4b3
1960
1961- Some manual pages were clarified pursuant to discussion on the dhcp-server
1962 mailing list.
1963
88cd8aca
DH
1964 Changes since 3.0.4b2
1965
45d545f0 1966- Null-termination sensing for certain clients that unfortunately require
88cd8aca
DH
1967 it in DHCPINFORM processing was repaired.
1968
1969- The host-name option and a few others were moved from "X" format to "t"
1970 format to be compatible with new NULL handling functions.
1971
1972- DHCPINFORM processing is a little more careful about return addressing
1973 its responses, or if responding via a relay. The INFORM related
1974 messages also log the 'effective client ip address' rather than the
1975 client's supplied ciaddr (since some clients produce null ciaddrs).
1976
1977- The server was inappropriately sending leases to the RESET state in the
1978 event that multiple active leases were found to match a singly-identified
1979 client. This was changed to RELEASED (by accepting a different, ACTIVE
1980 binding, the client is implicitly releasing its lease). This repairs a
1981 bug wherein secondary servers in failover pairs detecting this condition
1982 move leases to RESET, and primaries refuse to accept that state
1983 transition (properly).
1984
1985- The memset-after-dmalloc() changes made in 3.0.4b1 have been backed out.
1986
1987 Changes since 3.0.4b1
1988
1989- Command line parsing in omshell was repaired - it no longer closes
1990 STDIN after reading one line.
1991
1992- The resolver library no longer closes the /etc/resolv.conf file
1993 descriptor it opened twice.
1994
1995- Changes to trailing NULL removal in 't' option-atoms has been rethought,
1996 it now includes 'd' (domain name) types, and tries hard not to rewind an
1997 option beyond the start of the text field it is un-terminating.
1998
1999 Changes since 3.0.3
2000
2001- A DDNS update handling function was misusing the DNS error codes, rather
2002 than the internal generic result enumeration. The result is a confusing
2003 syslog line, logging the wrong condition.
2004
2005- The DHCP Server was not checking pool balance in the case where it brought
2006 a non-ACTIVE lease out of storage for a client that was returning to use
2007 a lease it once had long ago, and had since expired.
2008
2009- Failover peers no longer bother to look for free leases to allocate when
2010 they already found the client's ACTIVE lease. DISCOVERs are load balanced
98bd7ca0 2011 whether freely-allocated or not, unless the server doubts the peer has
88cd8aca
DH
2012 leases to allocate.
2013
2014- Fixed a bug in dhcrelay agent addition code that suppressed trailing
45d545f0 2015 PAD options - it was suppressing only one trailing PAD option, rather
88cd8aca
DH
2016 than the entire block of them.
2017
3a16098f
DH
2018! Fixed some unlikely overlapping-region memcpy() bugs in dhcrelay agent
2019 option addition and stripping code. Added a few sanity checks. Although
2020 highly improbable, due to requiring the reception of a DHCP datagram well
2021 in excess of all known to be used physical MTU limitations, it is possible
2022 this may have been used in a stack overflow security vulnerability. Thanks
2023 to a patch from infamous42md.
2024
2025! Added some sanity checks to OMAPI connection/authentication code.
2026 Although highly improbable, due to having to deliver in excess of 2^32
2027 bytes of data via the OMAPI channel, not to mention requiring dhcpd to
2028 be able to malloc() a memory region 2^32 bytes in size, it was possible
2029 this might have resulted in a heap overflow security vulnerability.
2030 Thanks to a patch from infamous42md.
88cd8aca
DH
2031
2032- dmalloc() memset()'s the non-debug (data) portion of the allocated
2033 memory to zero. Code that memset()'s the result returned by dmalloc() to
2034 zero is redundant. These redundancies were removed.
2035
2036- Some type declaration corrections to u_int16_t were made in common/tr.c
4b97eaff 2037 (Token Ring support) thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
88cd8aca
DH
2038
2039- A failover bug that was allowing leases that EXPIRED or were RELEASED
2040 where tsfp and tstp are identical timestamps to languish in these
2041 transitional states has been repaired. As a side effect, lease
2042 databases should be kept more consistent overall, not just for these
2043 transitional states.
2044
2045- If the lease db is deleted out from under the daemon, and it moves to rewrite
2046 the db, it will go ahead with the operation and move the new db into place
2047 once it detects the old db does not exist.
2048
2049- dhclient now ignores IRDA, SIT, and IEEE1394 network interfaces, as it
2050 is either nonsensical or (in the case of IEEE1394) is not known to support
2051 these interfaces. Thanks to Marius Gedminas and Andrew Pollock of Debian.
2052
2053- Some previously undocumented reasons for dhclient-script invoking has
45d545f0 2054 been documented in the dhclient-script.8 manpage.
88cd8aca
DH
2055
2056- Failover potential expiry calculations (TSTP) have been corrected. Results
2057 should be substantially more consistent, and proper given the constraints.
2058
2059- Adjusted lease state validation checks in potential-conflict, to
2060 account for possible clock skew similarly to normal state, and several
2061 previously illegal transitions were made legal (ex: active->released).
2062
2063- An impossible sanity check was removed from omapi/buffer.c, thanks to a
2064 patch from 'infamous42md'.
2065
2066- An OMAPI host/network byte order problem in lease time values has been
2067 repaired.
2068
2069- Several minor bugs, largely relating to treating 8-byte time values as
2070 4-byte entities, have been repaired after careful review of the FreeBSD
2071 ports collection's patch set. Thanks to the nameless entities who have
2072 contributed to the FreeBSD ports.
2073
2074- When writing a trace file, the file is now created with permissions 0600,
2075 to help administrators avoid accidentally publicising sensitive config
2076 data.
2077
2078- The calculation of the maximum size of DHCP packets no longer includes
2079 Ethernet framing overhead. The result is that the 'Maximum Message
2080 Size' option advertised by clients, or the default value 576, is no
2081 longer reduced by 14 bytes, and instead directly reflects the IP level
2082 MTU (and the default, minimum allowed IP MTU of 576).
2083
2084- The special status of RELEASED/EXPIRED/RESET leases when a server
2085 is operating in partner-down was fixed. It no longer requires a
2086 lease be twice the MCLT beyond STOS to 'reallocate', and the expiry
2087 event to turn these into FREE leases without peer acknowledgement
2088 (after STOS+MCLT) has been repaired.
2089
2090- Compilation on older Solaris systems (lacking /usr/include/sys/int_types.h)
2091 has been repaired.
2092
2093- "append"ing a string onto the end of a "t" type option (such as the
2094 domain-name field) that had been improperly NULL-terminated by the
2095 DHCP server will no longer result in a truncated string containing
2096 only the option from the server, and not the expected appended value.

2099- File handlers on configuration state (config files and lease dbs) should
98bd7ca0 2100 be treated consistently, regardless of whether TRACING is defined or not.
88cd8aca 2101
45d545f0 2102- The Linux build environment has had some minor improvements - better
88cd8aca
DH
2103 sensing of 64-bit pointer sizes (only used for establishing an icmp_id),
2104 and corrections to #if operators regarding LINUX_MAJOR should it ever
2105 move to 3.[01].x.
2106
2107- The server now tries harder to survive the condition where it is unable
2108 to open a new lease file to rewrite the lease state database.

2110 Changes since 3.0.3b3
2111
2112- dhclient.conf documentation for interface {} was updated to reflect recent
2113 discussion on the dhcp-hackers mailing list.
2114
2115- In response to reports that the software does not compile on GCC 4.0.0,
2116 -Werror was removed from Makefile.conf for all platforms that used it.
2117 We will address the true problem in a future release; this is a temporary
2118 workaround.
2119
2120 Changes since 3.0.3b2
2121
2122- An error in code changes introduced in 3.0.3b2 was corrected, which caused
2123 static BOOTP clients to receive random addresses.
2124
2125 Changes since 3.0.3b1
2126
2127- A bug was fixed in BOOTPREQUEST handling code wherein stale references to
2128 host records would be left behind on leases that were not allocated to the
2129 client currently booting (eg in the case where the host was denied booting).
2130
2131- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated to be more clear in regards to
2132 multiple host declarations (thanks to Vincent McIntyre). 'Interim' style
2133 dynamic updates were also retouched.
2134
98311e4b
DH
2135 Changes since 3.0.2
2136
2137- A bug was fixed where a server might load balance a DHCP REQUEST to its
45d545f0 2138 peer after already choosing not to load balance the preceding DISCOVER.
98311e4b
DH
2139 The peer cannot allocate the originating server's lease.
2140
2141- In the case where a secondary server lost its stable storage while the
2142 primary was still in communications-interrupted, and came back online,
2143 the lease databases would not be fully transferred to the secondary.
2144 This was due to the secondary errantly sending an extra UPDREQ message
2145 when the primary made its state transition to PARTNER-DOWN known.
2146
2147- The package will now compile cleanly in gcc 3.3 and 3.4. As a side effect,
2148 lease structures will be 9 bytes smaller on all platforms. Thanks to
4b97eaff 2149 Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
2150
2151- Interface discovery code in DISCOVER_UNCONFIGURED mode is now
2152 properly restricted to only detecting broadcast interfaces. Thanks
4b97eaff 2153 to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
2154
2155- decode_udp_ip_header was changed so that the IP address was copied out
2156 to a variable, rather than referenced by a pointer. This enforces 4-byte
2157 alignment of the 32-bit IP address value. Thanks to a patch from Dr.
2158 Peter Poeml.
2159
2160- An incorrect log message was corrected thanks to a patch from
2161 Dr. Peter Poeml.
2162
2163- A bug in DDNS was repaired, where if the server's first DDNS action was
2164 a DDNS removal rather than a DDNS update, the resolver library's
2165 retransmit timer and retry timer was set to the default, implying a
2166 15 second timeout interval. Which is a little excessive in a synchronous,
2167 single-threaded system. In all cases, ISC DHCP should now hold fast to
2168 a 1-second timeout, trying only once.
2169
2170- The siaddr field was being improperly set to the server-identifier when
2171 responding to DHCP messages. RFC2131 clarified the siaddr field as
2172 meaning the 'next server in the bootstrap process', eg a tftp server.
2173 The siaddr field is now left zeroed unless next-server is configured.
2174
2175- mockup_lease() could have returned in an error condition (or in the
2176 condition where no fixed-address was found matching the shared
2177 network) with stale references to a host record. This is probably not
2178 a memory leak since host records generally never die anyway.
2179
2180- A bug was repaired where failover servers would let stale client identifiers
2181 persist on leases that were reallocated to new clients not sending an id.
2182
2183- Binding scopes ("set var = value;") are now removed from leases allocated
2184 by failover peers if the lease had expired. This should help reduce the
2185 number of stale binding scopes on leases.
2186
2187- A small memory leak was closed involving client identifiers larger than
2188 7 bytes, and failover.
2189
2190- Configuring a subnet in dhcpd.conf with a subnet mask of 32 bits might
2191 cause an internal function to overflow heap. Thanks to Jason Vas Dias
4b97eaff 2192 at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
2193
2194- Some inconsistencies in treating numbers that the lexer parsed as 'NUMBER'
2195 or 'NUMBER_OR_NAME' was repaired. Hexadecimal parsing is affected, and
2196 should work better.
2197
2198- In several cases, parse warnings were being issued before the lexical
2199 token had been advanced to the token whose value was causing an error...
2200 causing parse warnings to claim the problem is on the wrong token.
2201
2202- Host declarations matching on client identifier for dynamic leases will
2203 no longer match fixed-address host declarations (this is now identical
2204 to behaviour for host records matching on hardware address).
2205
2206 Changes since 3.0.2rc3
2207
2208- A previously undocumented configuration directive, 'local-address',
2209 was documented in the dhcpd.conf manpage.
2210
2211 Changes since 3.0.2rc2
2212
45d545f0 2213- Two variables introduced in 3.0.2b1 were used without being initialized
98311e4b
DH
2214 in the case where neither the FILE nor SNAME fields were available for
2215 overloading. This was repaired.
2216
2217- A heretofore believed to be impossible corner case of the option
2218 overloading implementation turned out to be possible ("Unable to sort
2219 overloaded options after 10 tries."). The implementation was reworked
2220 to consider the case of an option so large it would require more than
2221 three chunks to fit.
2222
2223- Many other instances of variables being used without being initialized
2224 were repaired.
2225
2226- An uninitialized variable in omapi_io_destroy() led to the discovery
2227 that this function may result in orphaned pointers (and hence, a memory
2228 leak).
2229
2230 Changes since 3.0.2rc1
2231
2232- allocate_lease() was rewritten to repair a bug in which the server would
2233 try to allocate an ABANDONED lease when FREE leases were available.
2234
2235 Changes since 3.0.2b1
2236
2237- Some dhcp-eval.5 manpage formatting was repaired.
2238
2239 Changes since 3.0.1
2240
2241- A bug was fixed in the server's 'option overloading' implementation,
2242 where options loaded into the 'file' and 'sname' packet fields were
2243 not aligned precisely as rfc2131 dictates.
2244
2245- The FreeBSD client script was changed to support the case where a domain
2246 name was not provided by the server.
2247
2248- A memory leak in 'omshell' per each command line parsed was
2249 repaired, thanks to a patch from Jarkko Torppa.
2250
2251- Log functions writing to stderr were adjusted to use the STDERR_FILENO
2252 system definition rather than '2'. This is a no-op for 90% of platforms.
2253
2254- One call to trace_write_packet_iov() counted the number of io vectors
2255 incorrectly, causing inconsistent tracefiles. This was fixed.
2256
2257- Some expression parse failure memory leaks were closed.
2258
2259- A host byte order problem in tracefiles was repaired.
2260
2261- Pools configured in DHCPD for failover possessing permission lists that
2262 previously were assumed to not include dyanmic bootp clients are now
2263 a little more pessimistic. The result is, dhcpd will nag you about just
2264 about most pools that possess a 'allow' statement with no 'deny' that
2265 would definitely match a dynamic bootp client.
2266
2267- The 'ddns-update-style' configuration warning bit now insists that
2268 the configuration be globally scoped.
2269
2270- Two memory leaks in dhclient were closed thanks to a patch from Felix
2271 Farkas.
2272
2273- Some minor but excellently pedantic documentation errors were fixed
2274 thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
2275
2276- Bugs in operator precedence in executable statements have been repaired
2277 once again. More legal syntaxes should be parsed legally.
2278
2279- Failing to initialize a tracefile for any reason if a tracefile was
2280 specified is now a fatal error. Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
2281
2282- Corrected a bug in which the number of leases transferred as calculated
2283 by the failover primary and sent to peers in POOLRESP responses may be
2284 incorrect. This value is not believed to be used by other failover
2285 implementations, excepting perhaps as logged information.
2286
2287- Corrected a bug in which 'dhcp_failover_send_poolresp()' was in fact
2288 sending POOLREQ messages instead of POOLRESP mesasges. This message
2289 was essentially ignored since failover secondaries effectively do not
2290 respond to POOLREQ messages.
2291
2292- Type definitions for various bitwidths of integers in the sunos5-5
2293 build of ISC DHCP have been fixed. It should compile and run more
2294 easily when built in 64-bit for this platform.
2295
2296- "allow known-clients;" is now a legal syntax, to avoid confusion.
2297
2298- If one dhcp server chooses to 'load balance' a request to its failover
2299 peer, it first checks to see if it believes said peer has a free
2300 lease to allocate before ignoring the DISCOVER.
2301
2302- log() was logging a work buffer, rather than the value returned by
2303 executing the statements configured by the user. In some cases,
2304 the work buffer and the intended results were the same. In some other
2305 cases, they were not. This was fixed thanks to a patch from Gunnar
2306 Fjone and directconnect.no.
2307
2308- Compiler warnings for some string type conversions was fixed, thanks
2309 to Andreas Gustafsson.
2310
2311- The netbsd build environments were simplified to one, in which
2312 -Wconversion is not used, thanks to Andreas Gustafsson.
2313
2314- How randomness in the backoff-cutoff dhclient configuration variable
2315 is implemented was better documented in the manpage, and the behaviour
2316 of dhclient in REQUEST timeout handling was changed to match that of
2317 DISCOVER timeout handling.
2318
2319- Omapi was hardened against clients that pass in null values, thanks
2320 to a patch from Mark Jason Dominus.
2321
2322- A bug was fixed in dhclient that kept it from doing client-side
2323 ddns updates. Thanks to a patch from Andreas Gustafsson, which
2324 underwent some modification after review by Jason Vas Dias.
2325
2326- Failover implementations disconnected due to the network between
2327 them (rather than one of the two shutting down) will now try to
2328 re-establish the failover connection every 5 seconds, rather than
2329 to simply try once and give up until one of them is restarted.
2330 Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from Infoblox, and field testing
2331 by Greger V. Teigre which led to an enhancement to it.
2332
2333- A problem that kept DHCP Failover secondaries from tearing down
2334 ddns records was repaired. Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from
2335 Infoblox.
2336
2337- 64bit pointer sizes are detected properly on FreeBSD now.
2338
2339- A bug was repaired where the DHCP server would leave stale references
2340 to host records on leases it once thought about offering to certain
2341 clients. The result would be to apply host and 'known' scopes to the
2342 wrong clients (possibly denying booting). NOTE: The 'mis-host' patch
2343 that was being circulated as a workaround is not the way this bug was
2344 fixed. If you were a victim of this bug in 3.0.1, you are cautioned
2345 to proceed carefully and see if it fixes your problem.
2346
2347- A bug was repaired in the server's DHCPINFORM handling, where it
2348 tried to divine the client's address from the source packet and
2349 would get it wrong. Thanks to Anshuman Singh Rawat.
2350
2351- A log message was introduced to help illuminate the case where the
2352 server was unable to find a lease to assign to any BOOTP client.
2353 Thanks to Daniel Baker.
2354
2355- A minor dhcpd.conf.5 manpage error was fixed.
2356
2357 Changes since 3.0.1rc14
2358
2359- The global variable 'cur_time' was centralized and is now uniformly of a
2360 type #defined in system-dependent headers. It had previously been defined
2361 in one of many places as a 32-bit value, and this causes mayhem on 64-bit
2362 big endian systems. It probably wasn't too healthy on little endian
2363 systems either.
2364
2365- A printf format string error introduced in rc14 was repaired.
2366
2367- AIX system-dependent header file was altered to only define NO_SNPRINTF
2368 if the condition used to #ifdef in vsnprintf in AIX' header files
2369 is false.
2370
2371- The Alpha/OSF system-dependent header file was altered to define
2372 NO_SNPRINTF on OS revisions older than 4.0G.
2373
2374- omapip/test.c had string.h added to its includes.
2375
2376 Changes since 3.0.1rc13
2377
2378! CAN-2004-0460 - CERT VU#317350: Five stack overflow exploits were closed
2379 in logging messages with excessively long hostnames provided by the
2380 clients. It is highly probable that these could have been used by
2381 attackers to gain arbitrary root access on systems using ISC DHCP 3.0.1
2382 release candidates 12 or 13. Special thanks to Gregory Duchemin for
2383 both finding and solving the problem.
2384
2385! CAN-2004-0461 - CERT VU#654390: Once the above was closed, an opening
45d545f0 2386 in log_*() functions was evidenced, on some specific platforms where
98311e4b
DH
2387 vsnprintf() was not believed to be available and calls were wrapped to
2388 sprintf() instead. Again, credit goes to Gregory Duchemin for finding
2389 the problem. Calls to snprintf() are now linked to a distribution-local
2390 snprintf implementation, only in those cases where the architecture is
2391 not known to provide one (see includes/cf/[arch].h). If you experience
2392 linking problems with snprintf/vsnprintf or 'isc_print_' functions, this
2393 is where to look. This vulnerability did not exist in any previously
2394 published version of ISC DHCP.
2395
2396- Compilation on hpux 11.11 was repaired.
2397
2398- 'The cross-compile bug fix' was backed out.
2399
2400 Changes since 3.0.1rc12
2401
2402- Fixed a bug in omapi lease lookup function, to form the hardware
2403 address for the hash lookup correctly, thanks to a patch from
2404 Richard Hirst.
2405
2406- Fixed a bug where dhcrelay was sending relayed responses back to the
2407 broadcast address, but with the source's unicast mac address. Should
2408 now conform to rfc2131 section 4.1.
2409
2410- Cross-compile bug fix; use $(AR) instead of ar. Thanks to Morten Brorup.
2411
2412- Fixed a crash bug in dhclient where dhcpd servers that do not provide
2413 renewal times results in an FPE. As a side effect, dhclient can now
2414 properly handle 0xFFFFFFFF (-1) expiry times supplied by servers. Thanks
2415 to a patch from Burt Silverman.
2416
2417- The 'ping timeout' debugs from rc12 were removed to -DDEBUG only,
45d545f0 2418 and reformatted to correct a compilation error on Solaris platforms.
98311e4b
DH
2419
2420- A patch was applied which fixes a case where leases read from the
2421 leases database do not properly over-ride previously read leases.
2422
2423- dhcpctl.3 manpage was tweaked.
2424
2425 Changes since 3.0.1rc11
2426
2427- A patch from Steve Campbell was applied with minor modifications to
2428 permit reverse dns PTR record updates with values containing spaces.
2429
2430- A patch from Florian Lohoff was applied with some modifications to
2431 dhcrelay. It now discards packets whose hop count exceeds 10 by default,
2432 and a command-line option (-c) can be used to set this threshold.
2433
2434- A failover bug relating to identifying peers by name length instead of
2435 by name was fixed.
2436
45d545f0 2437- Declaring failover configs within shared-network statements should no
98311e4b
DH
2438 longer result in error.
2439
2440- The -nw command line option to dhclient now works.
2441
2442- Thanks to a patch from Michael Richardson:
2443 - Some problems with long option processing have been fixed.
2444 - Some fixes to minires so that updates of KEY records will work.
2445
2446- contrib/ms2isc was updated by Shu-Min Chang of the Intel Corporation.
2447 see contrib/ms2isc/readme.txt for revision notes.
2448
2449- Dhclient no longer uses shell commands to kill another instance of
2450 itself, it sends the signal directly. Thanks to a patch from Martin
2451 Blapp.
2452
2453- The FreeBSD dhclient-script was changed so that a failure to write to
2454 /etc/resolv.conf does not prematurely end the script. This keeps dhclient
2455 from looping infinitely when this is the case. Thanks to a patch from
2456 Martin Blapp.
2457
2458- A patch from Bill Stephens was applied which resolves a problem with lease
2459 expiry times in failover configurations.
2460
2461- A memory leak in configuration parsing was closed thanks to a patch from
2462 Steve G.
2463
2464- The function which discovers interfaces will now skip non-broadcast or
2465 point-to-point interfaces, thanks to a patch from David Brownlee.
2466
2467- Options not yet known by the dhcpd or dhclient have had their names
2468 changed such that they do not contain # symbols, in case they should ever
2469 appear in a lease file. An option that might have been named "#144" is
2470 now "unknown-144".
2471
2472- Another patch from Bill Stephens which allows the ping-check timeout to
2473 be configured as 'ping-timeout'. Defaults to 1.
2474
2475 Changes since 3.0.1rc10
2476
2477- Potential buffer overflows in minires repaired.
2478
2479- A change to the linux client script to use /bin/bash, since /bin/sh may
2480 not be bash.
2481
2482- Some missing va_end cleanups thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
2483
2484- A correction of boolean parsing syntax validation - some illegal syntaxes
2485 that worked before are now detected and produce errs, some legal syntaxes
2486 that errored before will now work properly.
2487
2488- Some search-and-replace errors that caused some options to change their
2489 names was repaired.
2490
2491- Shu-min Chang of the Intel corporation has contributed a perl script and
2492 module that converts the MS NT4 DHCP configuration to a ISC DHCP3
2493 configuration file.
2494
2495- Applied the remainder of the dhcpctl memory leak patch provided by Bill
2496 Squier at ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
2497
2498- Missing non-optional failover peer configurations will now result in a soft
2499 error rather than a null dereference.
2500
2501 Changes since 3.0.1rc9
2502
2503- A format string was corrected to fix compiler warnings.
2504
2505- A number of spelling corrections were made in the man pages.
2506
2507- The dhclient.conf.5 man page was changed to refer to do-forward-updates
2508 rather than a configuration option that doesn't exist.
2509
2510- A FreeBSD-specific bug in the interface removal handling was fixed.
2511
2512- A Linux-specific Token Ring detection problem was fixed.
2513
2514- Hashes removed from as-yet-unknown agent options, having those options
2515 appear in reality before we know about them will no longer produce
2516 self-corrupting lease databases.
2517
2518- dhclient will use the proper port numbers now when using the -g option.
2519
2520- A order-of-operations bug with 2 match clauses in 1 class statement is
2521 fixed thanks to a patch from Andrew Matheson.
2522
2523- Compilation problems on Solaris were fixed.
2524
2525- Compilation problems when built with DEBUG or DEBUG_PACKET were repaired.
2526
2527- A fix to the dhcp ack process which makes certain group options will be
2528 included in the first DHCPOFFER message was made thanks to a patch from
2529 Ling Gou.
2530
2531- A few memory leaks were repaired thanks to patches from Bill Squier at
2532 ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
2533
2534- A fix for shared-networks that sometimes give clients options for the
2535 wrong subnets (in particular, 'option routers') was applied, thanks to
2536 Ted Lemon for the patch.
2537
2538- Omshell's handling of dotted octets as values was changed such that dots
2539 one after the other produce zero values in the integer string.
2540
2541 Changes since 3.0.1rc8
2542
2543- Fix a format string vulnerability in the server that could lead to a
2544 remote root compromise (discovered by NGSEC Research Team, www.ngsec.com).
2545
2546- Add additional support for NetBSD/sparc64.
2547
2548- Fix a bug in the command-line parsing of the client. Also, resolve
2549 a memory leak.
2550
2551- Add better support for shells other than bash in the Linux client
2552 script.
2553
2554- Various build fixes for modern versions of FreeBSD and Linux.
2555
2556- Fix a bad bounds check when printing binding state names.
2557
2558- Clarify documentation about fixed-address and multiple addresses.
2559
2560- Fix a typo in the authoritative error message.
2561
2562- Make a log entry when we can't write a billing class.
2563
2564- Use conversion targets that are the right size on all architectures.
2565
2566- Increment the hop count when relaying.
2567
2568- Log a message when lease state is changed through OMAPI.
2569
2570- Don't rerun the shared_network when evaluating the pool.
2571
2572- Fix a reversed test in the parser.
2573
2574- Change the type of rbuf_max.
2575
2576- Make FTS_LAST a manifest constant to quiet warnings.
2577
2578 Changes since 3.0.1rc7
2579
2580- Fix two compiler warnings that are generated when compiling on Solaris
2581 with gcc. These stop the build, even though they weren't actually
2582 errors, because we prefer that our builds generate no warnings.
2583
2584 Changes since 3.0.1rc6
2585
2586- Don't allow a lease that's in the EXPIRED, RELEASED or RESET state
2587 to be renewed.
2588
2589- Implement lease stealing for cases where the primary has fewer leases
2590 than the secondary, as called for by the standard.
2591
2592- Add a fudge factor to the lease expiry acceptance code, (suggested
2593 by Kevin Miller of CMU).
2594
2595- Fix a bug in permit_list_match that made it much too willing to say
2596 that two permit lists matched.
2597
2598- Unless DEBUG_DNS_UPDATES is defined, print more user-friendly (and
2599 also more compact) messages about DNS updates.
2600
2601- Fix a bug in generating wire-format domain names for the FQDN option.
2602
2603- Fix a bug where the FQDN option would not be returned if the client
2604 requested it, contrary to the standard.
2605
2606- On Darwin, use the FreeBSD DHCP client script.
2607
2608- On NetBSD/sparc, don't check for casting warnings.
2609
2610- Add a flag in the DHCP client to disable updating the client's A
2611 record when sending an FQDN option indicating that the client is
2612 going to update its A record.
2613
2614- In the client, don't attempt a DNS update until one second after
2615 configuring the new IP address, and if the update times out, keep
2616 trying until a response, positive or negative, is received from the
2617 DNS server.
2618
2619- Fix an uninitialized memory bug in the DHCP client.
2620
2621- Apply some FreeBSD-specific bug fixes suggested by Murray Stokely.
2622
2623- Fix a bug in ns_parserr(), where it was returning the wrong sort
2624 of result code in some cases (suggested by Ben Harris of the
2625 NetBSD project).
2626
2627- Fix a bug in is_identifier(), where it was checking against EOF
2628 instead of the END_OF_FILE token (also suggested by Ben Harris).
2629
2630- Fix a bug where if an option universe contained no options, the
2631 DHCP server could dump core (Walter Steiner).
2632
2633- Fix a bug in the handling of encapsulated options.
2634
2635- Fix a bug that prevented NWIP suboptions from being processed.
2636
2637- Delete the FTS_BOOTP and FTS_RESERVED states and implement them
2638 as modifier flags to the FTS_ACTIVE state, as called for in the
2639 failover protocol standard.
2640
2641- Fix bugs in the pool merging code that resulted in references and
2642 dereferences of null pointers. This bug had no impact unless the
2643 POINTER_DEBUG flag was defined.
2644
2645- In the server, added a do-forward-updates flag that can be used to
2646 disable forward updates in all cases, so that sites that want the
2647 clients to take sole responsibility for updating their A record can
2648 do so.
2649
2650- Make it possible to disable optimization of PTR record updates.
2651
2652 Changes since 3.0.1rc5
2653
2654- Include some new documentation and changes provided by Karl Auer.
2655
2656- Add a workaround for some Lexmark printers that send a double-NUL-
2657 terminated host-name option, which would break DNS updates.
2658
2659- Fix an off-by-one error in the MAC-address checking code for
2660 DHCPRELEASE that was added in 3.0.1rc5.
2661
2662- Fix a bug where client-specific information was not being discarded
2663 from the lease when it expired or was released, resulting in
2664 problems if the lease was reallocated to a different client.
2665
2666- If more than one allocation pool is specified that has the same set
2667 of constraints as another allocation pool on the same shared
2668 network, merge the two pools.
2669
2670- Don't print an error in fallback_discard, since this just causes
2671 confusion and does not appear to be helping to encourage anyone to
2672 fix this bug.
2673
2674 Changes since 3.0.1rc4
2675
2676- Fix a bug that would cause the DHCP server to spin if asked to parse
2677 a certain kind of incorrect statement.
2678
2679- Fix a related bug that would prevent an error from being reported in
2680 the same case.
2681
2682- Additional documentation.
2683
2684- Make sure that the hardware address matches the lease when
2685 processing a DHCPRELEASE message.
2686
2687 Changes since 3.0.1rc3
2688
2689- A minor bug fix in the arguments to a logging function call.
2690- Documentation update for dhcpd.conf.
2691
adbef119 2692 Changes since 3.0.1rc2
98311e4b
DH
2693
2694- Allow the primary to send a POOLREQ message. This isn't what the current
2695 failover draft says to do, so we may have to back it out if I can't get the
2696 authors to relent, but the scheme for balancing that's specified in the
2697 current draft seems needlessly hairy, so I'm floating a trial balloon.
2698 The rc1 code did not implement the method described in the draft either.
2699
adbef119 2700 Changes since 3.0.1rc1
98311e4b
DH
2701
2702- Treat NXDOMAIN and NXRRSET as success when we are trying to delete a
2703 domain or RRSET. This allows the DHCP server to forget about a name
2704 it added to the DNS once it's been removed, even if the DHCP server
2705 wasn't the one that removed it.
2706
2707- Install defaults for failover maximum outstanding updates and maximum
2708 silent time. This prevents problems that might occur if these values
2709 were not configured.
2710
2711- Don't do DDNS deletes if ddns-update-style is none.
2712
2713- Return relay agent information options in DHCPNAK. This prevents DHCPNAK
2714 messages from being dropped when the relay agent information option contains
2715 routing information.
2716
2717- Fix a problem where coming up in recover wouldn't result in an update
2718 request being sent.
2719
2720- Add some more chatty messages when we start a recovery update and when it's
2721 done.
2722
2723- Fix a possible problem where some state might have been left around
2724 after the peer lost contact and regained contact about how many updates
2725 were pending.
2726
2727- Don't nix a lease update because of a lease conflict. This test has
2728 never (as far as I know) prevented a mistake, and it appears to cause
2729 problems with failover.
2730
2731- Add support in rc history code for keeping a selective history, rather
2732 than a history of all references and dereferences. This code is only used
2733 when extensive additional debugging is enabled.
2734
adbef119 2735 Changes since 3.0
98311e4b
DH
2736
2737- Make allocators for hash tables. As a side effect, this fixes a memory
2738 smash in the subclass allocation code.
2739
2740- Fix a small bug in omshell where if you try to close an object when
2741 no object is open, it dumps core.
2742
2743- Fix an obscure coredump that could occur on shutdown.
2744
2745- Fix a bug in the recording of host declaration rubouts in the lease file.
2746
2747- Fix two potential spins in the host deletion code.
2748
2749- Fix a core dump that would happen if an application tried to update
2750 a host object attribute with a null value.
2751
2752 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 12
2753
2754- Fix a memory leak in the evaluation code.
2755
2756- Fix an obscure core dump.
2757
2758- Print a couple of new warnings when parsing the configuration file
2759 when crucial information is left out.
2760
2761- Log "no free leases" as an error.
2762
2763- Documentation updates.
2764
2765 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 11
2766
2767- Always return a subnet selection option if one is sent.
2768
2769- Fix a warning that was being printed because an automatic data
2770 structure wasn't zeroed.
2771
2772- Fix some failover state transitions that were being handled
2773 incorrectly.
2774
2775- When supersede_lease is called on a lease whose end time has already
2776 expired, but for which a state transition has not yet been done, do
2777 a state transition. This fixes the case where if the secondary
2778 allocated a lease to a client and the lease "expired" while the
2779 secondary was in partner-down, no expiry event would actually
2780 happen, so the lease would remain active until the primary was
2781 restarted.
2782
2783 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 10
2784
2785- Fix a bug that was preventing released leases from changing state
2786 in failover-enabled pools.
2787
2788- Fix a core dump in the client identifier finder code (for host
2789 declarations).
2790
2791- Finish fixing a bug where bogus data would sometimes get logged to
2792 the dhclient.leases file because it was opened as descriptor 2.
2793
2794- Fix the Linux dhclient-script according to suggestions made by
2795 several people on the dhcp-client mailing list.
2796
2797- Log successful DNS updates at LOG_INFO, not LOG_ERROR.
2798
2799- Print an error message and refuse to run if a failover peer is
2800 defined but not referenced by any pools.
2801
2802- Correct a confusing error message in failover.
2803
eaf0b302

d758ad8c
TL
2816 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8 Patchlevel 1
2817
2818- Fix a parsing bug that broke dns updates (both interim and ad-hoc).
2819 This was introduced in rc8pl1 as an unintended result of the memory
2820 leakage fixes that were in pl1.
2821
2822- Fix a long-standing bug where the server would record that an update
2823 had been done for a client with no name, even though no update had
2824 been done, and then when the client's lease expired the deletion of
2825 that nonexistant record would time out because the name was the null
2826 string.
2827
2828- Clean up the omshell, dhcpctl and omapi man pages a bit.
2829
d758ad8c
TL
2830 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8

2832- Fix a bug that could cause the DHCP server to spin if
2833 one-lease-per-client was enabled.
2834
2835- Fix a bug that was causing core dumps on BSD/os in the presence of
2836 malformed packets.
2837
2838- In partner-down state, don't restrict lease lengths to MCLT.
2839
2840- On the failover secondary, record the MCLT received from the primary
2841 so that if we come up without a connection to the primary we don't
2842 wind up giving out zero-length leases.
2843
2844- Fix some compilation problems on BSD/os.
2845
2846- Fix a bunch of memory leaks.
2847
2848- Fix a couple of bugs in the option printer.
2849
2850- Fix an obscure error reporting bug in the dns update code, and also
2851 make the message clearer when a key algorithm isn't supported.
2852
2853- Fix a bug in the tracing code that prevented trace runs that used
2854 tcp connections from being played back.
2855
2856- Add some additional debugging capability for catching memory leaks
2857 on exit.
2858
2859- Make the client release the lease correctly on shutdown.
2860
2861- Add some configurability to the build system.
2862
2863- Install omshell manual page in man1, not man8.
2864
2865- Craig Gwydir sent in a patch that fixes a long-standing bug in the
2866 DHCP client that could cause core dumps, but that for some reason
2867 hadn't been noticed until now.
2868
2869 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 7
2870
2871- Fix a bug in failover where we weren't sending updates after a
2872 transition from communications-interrupted to normal.
2873
2874- Handle expired/released/reset -> free transition according to the
2875 protocol specification (this works - the other way not only wasn't
2876 conformant, but also didn't work).
2877
2878- Add a control object in both client and server that allows either
2879 daemon to be shut down cleanly.
2880
2881- When writing a lease, if we run out of disk space, shut down the
2882 output file and insist on writing a new one before proceeding.
2883
2884- In the server, if the OMAPI listener port is occupied, keep trying
2885 to get it, rather than simply giving up and exiting.
2886
2887- Support fetching variables from leases and also updating and adding
2888 variables to leases via OMAPI.
2889
2890- If two failover peers have wildly different clocks, refuse to start
2891 doing failover.
2892
2893- Fix a bug in the DNS update code that could cause core dumps when
2894 running on alpha processors.
2895
2896- Fixed a bug in ddns updates for static lease entries, thanks to a
2897 patch from Andrey M Linkevitch.
2898
2899- Add support for Darwin/MacOS X
2900
2901- Install omshell (including new documentation).
2902
2903- Support DNS updates in the client (this is a very obscure feature
2904 that most DHCP client users probably will not be able to use).
2905
2906- Somewhat cleaner status logging in the client.
2907
2908- Make OMAPI key naming syntax compatible with the way keys are
2909 actually named (key names are domain names).
2910
2911- Fix a bug in the lease file writer.
2912
2913- Install DHCP ISC headers in a different place than BIND 9 ISC
2914 headers, to avoid causing trouble in BIND 9 builds.
2915
2916- Don't send updates for attributes on an object when the attributes
2917 haven't changed. Support deleting attributes on remote objects.
2918
2919- Fix a number of bugs in omshell, and add the unset and refresh
2920 statements.
2921
2922- Handle disconnects in OMAPI a little bit more intelligently (so that
2923 the caller gets ECONNRESET instead of EINVAL).
2924
2925- Fix a bunch of bugs in the handling of clients that have existing
2926 leases when the try to renew their leases while failover is
2927 operating.
2928

TL
2929 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 6
2930
2931- Fix a core dump that could happen when processing a DHCPREQUEST from
2932 a client that had a host declaration that contained both a
2933 fixed-address declaration and a dhcp-client-identifier option
2934 declaration, if the client identifier was longer than nine bytes.
2935
2936- Fix a memory leak that could happen in certain obscure cases when
2937 using omapi to manipulate leases.
2938
2939- Fix some bugs and omissions in omshell.
2940
eaf0b302
TL
2941 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 5
2942
2943- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that prevented objects in
2944 chains from having their reference counts decreased on dereference.
2945
2946- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that would prevent object
2947 chains from being freed upon removal of the last reference external
2948 to the chain.
2949
2950- Fix a number of other memory leaks in the OMAPI protocol subsystem.
2951
2952- Add code in the OMAPI protocol handler to trace memory leakage.
2953
2954- Clean up the memory allocation/reference history printer.
2955
98311e4b 2956- Support input of dotted quads and colon-separated hex lists as
eaf0b302

eaf0b302
TL
2960
2961- Conditionalize a piece of trace code that wasn't conditional.
2962
2963 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 4
2964
2965- Fix a bug that would prevent leases from being abandoned properly on
2966 DHCPDECLINE.
2967
2968- Fix failover peer OMAPI support.
2969
2970- In failover, correctly handle expiration of leases. Previously,
2971 leases would never be reclaimed because they couldn't make the
2972 transition from EXPIRED to FREE.
2973
2974- Fix some broken failover state transitions.
2975
2976- Documentation fixes.
2977
2978- Take out an unnecessary check in DHCP relay agent information option
2979 stashing code that was preventing REBINDING clients from rebinding.
2980
2981- Prevent failover peers from allocating leases in DHCPREQUEST
2982 processing if the lease belongs to the other server.
2983
2984- Record server version in lease file introductory comment.
2985
2986- Correctly report connection errors in OMAPI and failover.
2987
2988- Make authentication signature algorithm name comparisons in OMAPI
2989 case-insensitive.
2990
2991- Fix compile problem on SunOS 4.x
2992
98311e4b 2993- If a signature algorithm is not terminated with '.', terminate it so
eaf0b302
TL
2994 that comparisons between fully-qualified names will work
2995 consistently.
2996
2997- Different SIOCGIFCONF probe code, may "fix" problem on some Linux
2998 systems with the probe not working correctly.
2999

TL
3002 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 3
3003
3004- Do lease billing on startup in a way that I *think* will finally do
3005 the billing correctly - the previous method could overbill as a
3006 result of duplicate leases.

3012- Fix some problems in the DDNS update code. Thanks to Albert
3013 Herranz for figuring out the main problem.
3014
3015- Fix some reference counting errors on host entries that were causing
3016 core dumps.
3017
3018- Fix a byte-swap bug in the token ring code, thanks to Jochen
3019 Friedrich.
3020
3021- Fix a bug in lease billing, thanks to Jonas Bulow.
3022
3023 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 2
3024
3025- Change the conditions under which a DHCPRELEASE is actually
3026 committed to be consistent with lease binding states rather than
98311e4b 3027 using the lease end time. This may fix some problems with the
892fe689
TL
3028 billing class code.
3029
3030- Fix a bug where lease updates would fail on Digital Unix (and maybe
3031 others) because malloc was called with a size of zero.
3032
3033- Fix a core dump that happens when the DHCP server can't create its
3034 trace file.
3035
79ea3de8 3036 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 1 Patchlevel 1
87784777 3037
79ea3de8
TL
3038- Fix the dhcp_failover_put_message to not attempt to allocate a
3039 zero-length buffer. Some versions of malloc() fail if you try to
3040 allocate a zero-length buffer, and this was causing problems on,
3041 e.g., Digital Unix.
3042
3043- Fix a case where the failover code was printing an error message
3044 when no error had occurred.
3045
3046- Fix a problem where when a server went down and back up again, the
3047 peer would not see a state transition and so would stay in the
3048 non-communicating state.
3049
3050- Be smart about going into recover_wait.
3051
3052- Fix a problem in the failover implementation where peers would fail
3053 to come into sync if interrupted in the RECOVER state. This could
3054 have been the cause of some problems people have reported recently.
3055
3056- Fix a problem with billing classes where they would not be unbilled
3057 when the client lease expired.
3058
3059- If select fails, figure out which descriptor is bad, and cut it out
3060 of the I/O loop. This prevents a potentially nasty spin. I
3061 haven't heard any report it in a while, but it came up consistently
3062 in testing.
3063
3064- Fix a bug in the relay agent where if you specified interfaces on
3065 the command line, it would fail.
3066
3067- Fix a couple of small bugs in the omapi connection object (no known
3068 user impact).
3069
3070- Add the missing 3.0 Beta 1 lease conversion script.
3071
3072- Read dhcp client script hooks if they exist, rather than only if
3073 they're executable.

3078 ANY SITE AT WHICH FIXED-ADDRESS STATEMENTS ARE BEING USED SHOULD

TL
3085- There is a known problem with the DHCP server doing failover on
3086 Compaq Alpha systems. This patchlevel is not a release candidate
3087 because of this bug. The bug should be straightforward to fix, so
3088 a new release candidate is expected shortly.

3096 work, so that failover should now much less fragile.

3113
3114- Fix a bug in the DNS update code where a status code was not being
3115 checked. This may have been causing core dumps.
3116
3117- When parsing the lease file, if a lease declaration includes a
3118 billing class statement, and the lease already has a billing class,
3119 unbill the old class.
3120
3121- When processing failover transactions, where acks will be deferred,
3122 process the state transition immediately.
3123
3124- Don't try to use the new SIOCGIFCONF buffer size detection code on
3125 Linux 2.0, which doesn't provide this functionality.
3126

3133- Document the -n and -g flags to the client.

3135- Make sure there is always a stdin and stdout on startup. This
3136 prevents shell scripts from accidentally writing error messages into
3137 configuration files that happen to be opened as stderr.
3138
3139- If an interface is removed, the client will now notice that it is
3140 gone rather than spinning. This has only been tested on NetBSD.

3191 server (in theory). (Damien Neil)
3192
3193- Fix a case where if a client had two different leases the server could
3194 actually dereference the second one when it hadn't been referenced,
3195 leading to memory corruption and a core dump. (James Brister)
3196
3197- Fix a case where a client could request the address of another client's
3198 lease, but find_lease wouldn't detect that the other client had it, and
3199 would attempt to allocate it to the client, resulting in a lease conflict
3200 message.
3201
3202- Fix a case where a client with more than one client identifier could be
3203 given a lease where the hardware address was correct but the client
3204 identifier was not, resulting in a lease conflict message.
3205
98311e4b 3206- Fix a problem where the server could write out a colon-separated

TL
3207 hex list as a value for a variable, which would then not parse.
3208 The fix is to always write strings as quoted strings, with any
3209 non-printable characters quoted as octal escape sequences. So
3210 a file written the old way still won't work, but new files written
3211 this way will work.

3217 If you want to continue to use this convention for some options,
3218 please be sure to write a definition, like this:

3241- Add support for transaction tracing. This allows the state of the
3242 DHCP server on startup, and all the subsequent transactions, to be
3243 recorded in a file which can then be played back to reproduce the
3244 behaviour of the DHCP server. This can be used to quickly
3245 reproduce bugs that cause core dumps or corruption, and also for
3246 tracking down memory leaks.
3247
3248- Incorporate some bug fixes provided by Joost Mulders for the DLPI
3249 package which should clear up problems people have been seeing on
3250 Solaris.
3251

3253 options, fqdn options and nwip options) that could cause memory
3254 corruption and core dumps.

3303 was causing core dumps and failing to operate correctly - in
3304 particular, agent option stashing wasn't working. Agent option
3305 stashing should now be working, meaning that agent options can be
3306 used in class statements to control address allocation.

3318 transmitting packets to the server. Handy for debugging; not much
3319 practical use otherwise.

3334 the update even when they don't have any way to do it.
3335
3336- Fix some log messages that can be printed when failover is operating
3337 that were not printing enough information.
3338
3339- It was possible for a DHCPDISCOVER to get an allocation even when
3340 the state machine said the server shouldn't be responding.
3341
3342- Don't load balance DHCPREQUESTs from clients in RENEWING and
3343 REBINDING, since in RENEWING, if we heard it, it's for us, and in
3344 REBINDING, the client wouldn't have got to REBINDING if its primary
3345 were answering.

3359 representation from working correctly.
3360
3361- Thanks to Chris Cheney and Michael Sanders, we have a fix for the
3362 hang that they both spotted in the DHCP server - when
3363 one-lease-per-client was set, the code to release the "other" lease
3364 could spin.
3365
3366- Fix a problem with alignment of the input buffer in bpf in cases
3367 where two packets arrive in the same bpf read.
3368
3369- Fix a problem where the relay agent would crash if you specified an
3370 interface name on the command line.
3371
3372- Add the ability to conditionalize client behaviour based on the
3373 client state.
3374
3375- Add support for the FQDN option, and added support for a new way of
3376 doing ddns updates (ddns update style interim) that allows more than
3377 one DHCP server to update the DNS for the same network(s). This
3378 was implemented by Damien Neil with some additional functionality
3379 added by Ted Lemon.
3380
3381- Damien added a "log" statement, so that the configuration file can
3382 be made to log debugging information and other information.
3383
3384- Fixed a bug that caused option buffers not to be terminated with an
3385 end option.
3386
3387- Fixed a long-standing bug in the support for option spaces where the
3388 options are stored as an ordered list rather than in a hash table,
3389 which could theoretically result in memory pool corruption.
3390
3391- Prevent hardware declarations with no actual hardware address from
3392 being written as something unparsable, and behave correctly in the
3393 face of a null hardware address on input.
3394
3395- Allow key names to be FQDNs, and qualify the algorithm name if it is
3396 specified unqualified.
3397
3398- Modify the DDNS update code so that it never prints the "resolver
3399 failed" message, but instead says *why* the resolver failed.

3402 RFC.

3445 silently dropped.

3464- Fix a possible DoS attack where a client could cause the checksummer
3465 to dump core. This was a read, not a write, so it shouldn't be
3466 possible to exploit it any further than that.
3467
3468- Implement client- and server-side support for using the Client FQDN
3469 option.
3470
3471- Support for other option spaces in the client has been added. This
3472 means that it is now possible to define a vendor option space on the
3473 client, request options in that space from the server (which must
3474 define the same option space), and then use those options in the
3475 client. This also allows NWIP and Client FQDN options to be used
3476 meaningfully.
3477
3478- Add object initializer support. This means that objects can now be
3479 initialized to something other than all-zeros when allocated, which
3480 makes, e.g., the interface object support code a little more robust.
3481
3482- Fix an off-by-one bug in the host stuffer. This was causing host
3483 deletes not the work, and may also have been causing OMAPI
3484 connections to get dropped. Thanks to James Brister for tracking
3485 this one down!
