663e6621 DH |
9 | Version 3.1.x of the ISC DHCP Distribution includes the following major |
10 | new features compared to its 3.0.x derivative: | |
3a16098f | 11 | |
663e6621 DH |
12 | - Failover protocol 'MAC Address Affinity' to reduce pool churn. |
13 | - Support for the 'reserved' and 'bootp' failover flags, which | |
14 | means in lay terms that static allocations can be made to | |
15 | clients in which 'on events' can be supported. | |
16 | - Several other failover optimizations and changes. | |
17 | - Management of class and subclass statements via OMAPI. | |
18 | - Many new configuration statement functions. | |
19 | - Initial formal support for VIVCO/VIVSO options. | |
29d5553a | 20 | |

98311e4b | 28 | |
bdddcb7d DH |
29 | Changes since 3.1.0a1 |
30 | ||
31 | - A bug in the FQDN universe that added FQDN codes to the NWIP universe's | |
32 | hash table was repaired. | |
33 | ||
616d67cb DH |
34 | - The servers now try harder to transmit pending binding updates when |
35 | entering normal state. | |
36 | ||
37 | - UPDREQ/UPDREQALL handling was optimized - it no longer dequeues and | |
38 | requeues all pending updates. This should reduce the number of spurious | |
66c8f734 DH |
39 | 'xid mismatch' log messages. |
40 | ||
41 | - An option definition referencing leak was fixed, which resulted in early | |
42 | termination of dhclient upon the renewal event. | |
616d67cb | 43 | |
6708d944 DH |
44 | - Some default hash table sizes were tweaked, some upwards, some downwards. |
45 | 3.1.0a1's tables resulted in a reduction in default server memory use. | |
46 | The new selected values provide more of a zero sum (increasing the size | |
47 | of tables likely to be populated, decreasing the size of tables unlikely). | |
48 | ||
49 | - Lease structures appear in three spearate hashes: by IP address, by UID, | |
50 | and by hardware address. One type of table was used for all three, and | |
51 | improvements to IP address hashing were applied to all three (so UID and | |
52 | hardware addresses were treated like 4-byte integers). There are now two | |
53 | types of tables, and the uid/hw hashes use functions more appropriate | |
54 | to their needs. | |
55 | ||
56 | - The max-lease-misbalance percentage no longer causes scheduled rebalance | |
57 | runs to be skipped: it still governs the schedule, but every scheduled | |
58 | run will attempt balance. | |
59 | ||
98311e4b DH |
60 | Changes since 3.0 (New Features) |
61 | ||
62 | - A workaround for certain STSN servers that send a mangled domain-name | |
63 | option was introduced for dhclient. The client will now accept corrupted | |
64 | server responses, if they contain a valid DHCP_MESSAGE_TYPE (OFFER, ACK, | |
65 | or NAK). The server will continue to not accept corrupt client packets. | |
66 | ||
a55ccdd0 DH |
67 | - Support for 'reserved' (psuedo-static) and BOOTP leases via failover |
68 | was introduced. | |
98311e4b DH |
69 | |
70 | - Support for adding, removing, and managing class and subclass statements | |
71 | via OMAPI. | |
72 | ||
a55ccdd0 DH |
73 | - The failover implementation was updated to comply with revision 12 of |
74 | the protocol draft. | |
75 | ||
98311e4b DH |
76 | - 'make install' now creates the initial zero-length dhcpd.leases file if |
77 | one does not already exist on the system. | |
78 | ||
b43c87ad | 79 | - RFC3942 compliance, site-local option spaces start at 224 now, not 128. |
b43c87ad | 80 | |
0b17f049 DH |
81 | - The Load Balance Algorithm was misimplemented. The current implementation |
82 | matches RFC 3074. | |
83 | ||
2727c1cf DH |
84 | - lcase() and ucase() configuration expressions have been added which adjust |
85 | their arguments from upper to lower and lower to upper cases respectively. | |
2714a8ef | 86 | Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz. |
2727c1cf | 87 | |
febbd402 DH |
88 | - The dhclient 'reject ...;' statement, which rejects leases given by named |
89 | server-identifiers, now permits address ranges to be specified in CIDR | |
7d7073e7 | 90 | notation. Thanks to a patch from David Boyce. |
febbd402 | 91 | |
ee912528 DH |
92 | - The subnet-mask option is now supplied by default, but at lowest |
93 | priority. This helps a small minority of clients that provide parameter | |
94 | request lists, but do not list the subnet-mask option because they were | |
95 | designed to interoperate with a server that behaves in this manner. | |
96 | ||
97 | - The FQDN option is similarly supplied even if it does not appear on the | |
98 | parameter request list, but not to the exclusion of options that do | |
99 | appear at the parameter request list. Up until now it had ultimate | |
100 | priority over the client's parameter request list. | |
101 | ||
f7fdb216 | 102 | - Varying option space code and length bit widths (8/16/32) are now |
51202707 | 103 | supported. This is a milestone in achieving RFC 3925 "VIVSO" and |
f7fdb216 DH |
104 | DHCPv6 support. |
105 | ||
5e864416 DH |
106 | - A new common (server or client) option, 'db-time-format local;', has |
107 | been added which prints the local time in /var/db/dhcpd.leases rather | |
108 | than UTC. Thanks to a patch from Ken Lalonde. | |
109 | ||
b500bd4c DH |
110 | - Some patches to improve DHCP Server startup speed from Andrew Matheson |
111 | have been incorporated. | |
112 | ||
2426234f DH |
113 | - Failover pairs now implement 'MAC Affinity' on leases moving from the |
114 | active to free states. Leases that belonged to the failover secondary | |
115 | are moved to BACKUP state rather than FREE upon exiting EXPIRED state. | |
116 | If lease rebalancing must move leases, it tries first to move leases | |
117 | that belong to the peer in need. | |
118 | ||
119 | - The server no longer sends POOLREQ messages unless the pool is severely | |
120 | misbalanced in the peer's favor (see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more details). | |
121 | ||
122 | - Pool rebalance events no longer happen upon successfully allocating a | |
123 | lease. Instead, they happen on a schedule. See 'man dhcpd.conf' for the | |
124 | min-balance and max-balance statements for more information. | |
125 | ||
334bf491 DH |
126 | - The DHCP Relay Agent Information Option / Link Selection Sub-Option |
127 | is now supported. (See RFC3527 for details). | |
128 | ||
3004bebf DH |
129 | - A new DDNS related server option, update-conflict-detection, has been |
130 | added. If this option is enabled, dhcpd will perform normal DHCID | |
131 | conflict resolution (the default). If this option is disabled, it will | |
132 | instead trust the assigned name implicitly (removing any other bindings | |
133 | on that name). This option has not been made available in dhclient. | |
134 | ||
567e8561 DH |
135 | - In those cases where the DHCP software manufactures an IP header (to |
136 | transmit via bpf, lpf, etc), the IP TTL the software selects has been | |
137 | increased from 16 to 128. This is intended to match Microsoft Windows | |
138 | DHCP Client behaviour, to increase compatibility. | |
139 | ||
a396d25f DH |
140 | - 'ignore client-updates;' now has behaviour that is different from |
141 | 'deny client-updates;'. The client's request is not truly ignored, | |
142 | rather it is encouraged. Should this value be configured, the server | |
143 | updates DNS as though client-updates were set to 'deny'. That is, it | |
144 | enters into DNS whatever it is configured to do already, provided it is | |
145 | configured to. Then it sends a response to the client that lets the | |
146 | client believe it is performing client updates (which it will), probably | |
147 | for a different name. In essence, this lets the client do as it will, | |
148 | ignoring this aspect of their request. | |
149 | ||
dba5803b DH |
150 | - Support for compressed 'domain name list' style DHCP option contents, and |
151 | in particular the domain search option (#119) was added. | |
152 | ||
41e45067 | 153 | - The DHCP LEASEQUERY protocol as defined in RFC4388 is now implemented. |
6d103865 SK |
154 | LEASEQUERY lets you query the DHCP server for information about a lease, |
155 | using either an IP address, MAC address, or client identifier. Thanks | |
156 | to a patch from Justin Haddad. | |
157 | ||
41e45067 DH |
158 | - DHCPD is now RFC2131 section 4.1 compliant (broadcast to all-ones ip and |
159 | ethernet mac address) on the SCO platform specifically without any strange | |
160 | ifconfig hacks. Many thanks go to the Kroger Co. for donating the | |
161 | hardware and funding the development. | |
6d103865 | 162 | |
b543fea9 DH |
163 | - A new common configuration executable statement, execute(), has been |
164 | added. This permits dhcpd or dhclient to execute a named external | |
165 | program with command line arguments specified from other configuration | |
166 | language. Thanks to a patch written by Mattias Ronnblom, gotten to us | |
167 | via Robin Breathe. | |
168 | ||
b22de500 DH |
169 | - A new dhcp server option 'adaptive-lease-time-threshold' has been added |
170 | which causes the server to substantially reduce lease-times if there are | |
171 | few (configured percentage) remaining leases. Thanks to a patch submitted | |
172 | from Christof Chen. | |
173 | ||
96bbe8c5 SK |
174 | - Encapsulated option spaces within encapsulated option spaces is now |
175 | formally supported. | |
176 | ||
0a73b7b6 SK |
177 | Changes since 3.0.5rc1 |
178 | ||
901306d5 | 179 | - A bug was repaired in fixes to the dhclient, which sought to run the |
0a73b7b6 SK |
180 | dhclient-script with the 'EXPIRE' state should it receive a NAK in |
181 | response to a REQUEST. The client now iterates the PREINIT state | |
182 | after the EXPIRE state, so that interfaces that might be configured | |
183 | 'down' can be brought back 'up' and initialized. | |
184 | ||
87a08ccc DH |
185 | - DHCPINFORM handling for clients that properly set ciaddr and come to the |
186 | server via a relay aget has been repaired. | |
187 | ||
6da113fb DH |
188 | Changes since 3.0.4 |
189 | ||
190 | - A warning that host statements declared within subnet or shared-network | |
191 | scopes are actually global has been added. | |
192 | ||
193 | - The default minimum lease time (if min-lease-time was not specified) | |
194 | was raised from 0 to 300. 0 is not thought to be sensible, and is | |
195 | known to be damaging. | |
196 | ||
197 | - Added additional fatal error sanity checks surrounding lease binding | |
198 | state count calculations (free/active counts used for failover pool | |
199 | balancing). | |
200 | ||
dcc557db DH |
201 | - Some time value size fixes in 3.0.4 brought on from FreeBSD /usr/ports were |
202 | misapplied to server values rather than client values. The server no longer | |
203 | advertises 8-byte lease-time options when on 64-bit platforms. | |
204 | ||
1b2ab55f DH |
205 | - A bug where leases not in ACTIVE state would get billed to billed classes |
206 | (classes with lease limitations) was fixed. Non-active leases OFFERed | |
207 | to clients are no longer billed (but billing is checked before offering). | |
208 | ||
e48891e8 DH |
209 | - The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated in regard to the ddns-domainname |
210 | configuration option - the default configuration and results should be | |
211 | more clear now. | |
212 | ||
6cbc6629 DH |
213 | - If the dhclient were to receive a DHCPNAK while it was in the RENEW |
214 | state (and consequently, had an active, 'bound' address and related | |
215 | configuration options), it would fail to 'tear down' this information | |
216 | before proceeding into INIT state. dhclient now iterates the dhclient- | |
217 | script with the 'EXPIRE' action to cause these teardowns prior to entering | |
1d3bfb17 | 218 | INIT state. Thanks to a patch from Chris Zimmerman. |
6cbc6629 | 219 | |
c5fec5fa DH |
220 | - The omapi.1 manpage had some formatting errors repaired thanks to a patch |
221 | from Yoshihiko Sarumaru. | |
222 | ||
33e1cb2b DH |
223 | - A few lines of code that were failover-specific were moved within |
224 | #if defined() clauses so that compilation without failover could be | |
225 | made possible. | |
226 | ||
2bddf829 DH |
227 | - The log message emitted when the 'leased-address' value was not available |
228 | in dhcpd.conf "executable statements" has been updated to be more helpful. | |
229 | Manpage information for this value has also been updated. | |
230 | ||
87578987 DH |
231 | - Abandoned or dissociated (err condition) leases now remove any related |
232 | dynamic dns bindings. Thanks to a patch from Patrick Schoo. | |
233 | ||
e77c575f DH |
234 | - Attempting to write a new lease file to replace a corrupt (due to |
235 | encountering non-retryable errors during writing) lease file should | |
236 | no longer result in an infinite recursion. | |
237 | ||
2178df03 DH |
238 | - Host declaration hardware addresses and client identifiers may only be |
239 | configured once. dhcpd will now fail to load config files that specify | |
240 | multiple identifiers (previous versions would silently over-ride the | |
241 | value with the later configured value). | |
242 | ||
d5341d9b SK |
243 | - Several option codes that have been allocated since our last release |
244 | have been named and documented. | |
245 | ||
246 | - Option names of the form "unknown-123" have been removed from the in- | |
247 | memory hash tables. In order to support options of these names that | |
248 | may appear in dhclient.leases or similar in previous versions, the | |
249 | parser will now find the new option code definition, or mock up a | |
250 | generic option code definition. This should result in a smooth | |
251 | transition from one name to the other, as the new name is used to | |
252 | write new output. | |
253 | ||
6da113fb DH |
254 | Changes since 3.0.4rc1 |
255 | ||
256 | - The dhcp-options.5 manpage was updated to correct indentation errors | |
257 | thanks to a patch from Jean Delvare. | |
258 | ||
259 | Changes since 3.0.4b3 | |
260 | ||
261 | - Some manual pages were clarified pursuant to discussion on the dhcp-server | |
262 | mailing list. | |
263 | ||
88cd8aca DH |
264 | Changes since 3.0.4b2 |
265 | ||
266 | - Null-termination sensing for certain clients that unfortunatley require | |
267 | it in DHCPINFORM processing was repaired. | |
268 | ||
269 | - The host-name option and a few others were moved from "X" format to "t" | |
270 | format to be compatible with new NULL handling functions. | |
271 | ||
272 | - DHCPINFORM processing is a little more careful about return addressing | |
273 | its responses, or if responding via a relay. The INFORM related | |
274 | messages also log the 'effective client ip address' rather than the | |
275 | client's supplied ciaddr (since some clients produce null ciaddrs). | |
276 | ||
277 | - The server was inappropriately sending leases to the RESET state in the | |
278 | event that multiple active leases were found to match a singly-identified | |
279 | client. This was changed to RELEASED (by accepting a different, ACTIVE | |
280 | binding, the client is implicitly releasing its lease). This repairs a | |
281 | bug wherein secondary servers in failover pairs detecting this condition | |
282 | move leases to RESET, and primaries refuse to accept that state | |
283 | transition (properly). | |
284 | ||
285 | - The memset-after-dmalloc() changes made in 3.0.4b1 have been backed out. | |
286 | ||
287 | Changes since 3.0.4b1 | |
288 | ||
289 | - Command line parsing in omshell was repaired - it no longer closes | |
290 | STDIN after reading one line. | |
291 | ||
292 | - The resolver library no longer closes the /etc/resolv.conf file | |
293 | descriptor it opened twice. | |
294 | ||
295 | - Changes to trailing NULL removal in 't' option-atoms has been rethought, | |
296 | it now includes 'd' (domain name) types, and tries hard not to rewind an | |
297 | option beyond the start of the text field it is un-terminating. | |
298 | ||
299 | Changes since 3.0.3 | |
300 | ||
301 | - A DDNS update handling function was misusing the DNS error codes, rather | |
302 | than the internal generic result enumeration. The result is a confusing | |
303 | syslog line, logging the wrong condition. | |
304 | ||
305 | - The DHCP Server was not checking pool balance in the case where it brought | |
306 | a non-ACTIVE lease out of storage for a client that was returning to use | |
307 | a lease it once had long ago, and had since expired. | |
308 | ||
309 | - Failover peers no longer bother to look for free leases to allocate when | |
310 | they already found the client's ACTIVE lease. DISCOVERs are load balanced | |
311 | wether freely-allocated or not, unless the server doubts the peer has | |
312 | leases to allocate. | |
313 | ||
314 | - Fixed a bug in dhcrelay agent addition code that suppressed trailing | |
315 | PAD options - it was suppressing only one trailng PAD option, rather | |
316 | than the entire block of them. | |
317 | ||
3a16098f DH |
318 | ! Fixed some unlikely overlapping-region memcpy() bugs in dhcrelay agent |
319 | option addition and stripping code. Added a few sanity checks. Although | |
320 | highly improbable, due to requiring the reception of a DHCP datagram well | |
321 | in excess of all known to be used physical MTU limitations, it is possible | |
322 | this may have been used in a stack overflow security vulnerability. Thanks | |
323 | to a patch from infamous42md. | |
324 | ||
325 | ! Added some sanity checks to OMAPI connection/authentication code. | |
326 | Although highly improbable, due to having to deliver in excess of 2^32 | |
327 | bytes of data via the OMAPI channel, not to mention requiring dhcpd to | |
328 | be able to malloc() a memory region 2^32 bytes in size, it was possible | |
329 | this might have resulted in a heap overflow security vulnerability. | |
330 | Thanks to a patch from infamous42md. | |
88cd8aca DH |
331 | |
332 | - dmalloc() memset()'s the non-debug (data) portion of the allocated | |
333 | memory to zero. Code that memset()'s the result returned by dmalloc() to | |
334 | zero is redundant. These redundancies were removed. | |
335 | ||
336 | - Some type declaration corrections to u_int16_t were made in common/tr.c | |
337 | (Token Ring support) thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at RedHat. | |
338 | ||
339 | - A failover bug that was allowing leases that EXPIRED or were RELEASED | |
340 | where tsfp and tstp are identical timestamps to languish in these | |
341 | transitional states has been repaired. As a side effect, lease | |
342 | databases should be kept more consistent overall, not just for these | |
343 | transitional states. | |
344 | ||
345 | - If the lease db is deleted out from under the daemon, and it moves to rewrite | |
346 | the db, it will go ahead with the operation and move the new db into place | |
347 | once it detects the old db does not exist. | |
348 | ||
349 | - dhclient now ignores IRDA, SIT, and IEEE1394 network interfaces, as it | |
350 | is either nonsensical or (in the case of IEEE1394) is not known to support | |
351 | these interfaces. Thanks to Marius Gedminas and Andrew Pollock of Debian. | |
352 | ||
353 | - Some previously undocumented reasons for dhclient-script invoking has | |
354 | been doucmented in the dhclient-script.8 manpage. | |
355 | ||
356 | - Failover potential expiry calculations (TSTP) have been corrected. Results | |
357 | should be substantially more consistent, and proper given the constraints. | |
358 | ||
359 | - Adjusted lease state validation checks in potential-conflict, to | |
360 | account for possible clock skew similarly to normal state, and several | |
361 | previously illegal transitions were made legal (ex: active->released). | |
362 | ||
363 | - An impossible sanity check was removed from omapi/buffer.c, thanks to a | |
364 | patch from 'infamous42md'. | |
365 | ||
366 | - An OMAPI host/network byte order problem in lease time values has been | |
367 | repaired. | |
368 | ||
369 | - Several minor bugs, largely relating to treating 8-byte time values as | |
370 | 4-byte entities, have been repaired after careful review of the FreeBSD | |
371 | ports collection's patch set. Thanks to the nameless entities who have | |
372 | contributed to the FreeBSD ports. | |
373 | ||
374 | - When writing a trace file, the file is now created with permissions 0600, | |
375 | to help administrators avoid accidentally publicising sensitive config | |
376 | data. | |
377 | ||
378 | - The calculation of the maximum size of DHCP packets no longer includes | |
379 | Ethernet framing overhead. The result is that the 'Maximum Message | |
380 | Size' option advertised by clients, or the default value 576, is no | |
381 | longer reduced by 14 bytes, and instead directly reflects the IP level | |
382 | MTU (and the default, minimum allowed IP MTU of 576). | |
383 | ||
384 | - The special status of RELEASED/EXPIRED/RESET leases when a server | |
385 | is operating in partner-down was fixed. It no longer requires a | |
386 | lease be twice the MCLT beyond STOS to 'reallocate', and the expiry | |
387 | event to turn these into FREE leases without peer acknowledgement | |
388 | (after STOS+MCLT) has been repaired. | |
389 | ||
390 | - Compilation on older Solaris systems (lacking /usr/include/sys/int_types.h) | |
391 | has been repaired. | |
392 | ||
393 | - "append"ing a string onto the end of a "t" type option (such as the | |
394 | domain-name field) that had been improperly NULL-terminated by the | |
395 | DHCP server will no longer result in a truncated string containing | |
396 | only the option from the server, and not the expected appended value. | |
397 | Thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at RedHat. | |
398 | ||
399 | - File handlers on configuration state (config files and lease dbs) should | |
400 | be treated consistently, regardless of wether TRACING is defined or not. | |
401 | ||
402 | - The linux build environment has had some minor improvements - better | |
403 | sensing of 64-bit pointer sizes (only used for establishing an icmp_id), | |
404 | and corrections to #if operators regarding LINUX_MAJOR should it ever | |
405 | move to 3.[01].x. | |
406 | ||
407 | - The server now tries harder to survive the condition where it is unable | |
408 | to open a new lease file to rewrite the lease state database. | |
409 | ||

410 | Changes since 3.0.3b3 |
411 | ||
412 | - dhclient.conf documentation for interface {} was updated to reflect recent | |
413 | discussion on the dhcp-hackers mailing list. | |
414 | ||
415 | - In response to reports that the software does not compile on GCC 4.0.0, | |
416 | -Werror was removed from Makefile.conf for all platforms that used it. | |
417 | We will address the true problem in a future release; this is a temporary | |
418 | workaround. | |
419 | ||
420 | Changes since 3.0.3b2 | |
421 | ||
422 | - An error in code changes introduced in 3.0.3b2 was corrected, which caused | |
423 | static BOOTP clients to receive random addresses. | |
424 | ||
425 | Changes since 3.0.3b1 | |
426 | ||
427 | - A bug was fixed in BOOTPREQUEST handling code wherein stale references to | |
428 | host records would be left behind on leases that were not allocated to the | |
429 | client currently booting (eg in the case where the host was denied booting). | |
430 | ||
431 | - The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated to be more clear in regards to | |
432 | multiple host declarations (thanks to Vincent McIntyre). 'Interim' style | |
433 | dynamic updates were also retouched. | |
434 | ||
98311e4b DH |
435 | Changes since 3.0.2 |
436 | ||
437 | - A bug was fixed where a server might load balance a DHCP REQUEST to its | |
438 | peer after already choosing not to load balance the preceeding DISCOVER. | |
439 | The peer cannot allocate the originating server's lease. | |
440 | ||
441 | - In the case where a secondary server lost its stable storage while the | |
442 | primary was still in communications-interrupted, and came back online, | |
443 | the lease databases would not be fully transferred to the secondary. | |
444 | This was due to the secondary errantly sending an extra UPDREQ message | |
445 | when the primary made its state transition to PARTNER-DOWN known. | |
446 | ||
447 | - The package will now compile cleanly in gcc 3.3 and 3.4. As a side effect, | |
448 | lease structures will be 9 bytes smaller on all platforms. Thanks to | |
449 | Jason Vas Dias at Redhat. | |
450 | ||
451 | - Interface discovery code in DISCOVER_UNCONFIGURED mode is now | |
452 | properly restricted to only detecting broadcast interfaces. Thanks | |
453 | to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at RedHat. | |
454 | ||
455 | - decode_udp_ip_header was changed so that the IP address was copied out | |
456 | to a variable, rather than referenced by a pointer. This enforces 4-byte | |
457 | alignment of the 32-bit IP address value. Thanks to a patch from Dr. | |
458 | Peter Poeml. | |
459 | ||
460 | - An incorrect log message was corrected thanks to a patch from | |
461 | Dr. Peter Poeml. | |
462 | ||
463 | - A bug in DDNS was repaired, where if the server's first DDNS action was | |
464 | a DDNS removal rather than a DDNS update, the resolver library's | |
465 | retransmit timer and retry timer was set to the default, implying a | |
466 | 15 second timeout interval. Which is a little excessive in a synchronous, | |
467 | single-threaded system. In all cases, ISC DHCP should now hold fast to | |
468 | a 1-second timeout, trying only once. | |
469 | ||
470 | - The siaddr field was being improperly set to the server-identifier when | |
471 | responding to DHCP messages. RFC2131 clarified the siaddr field as | |
472 | meaning the 'next server in the bootstrap process', eg a tftp server. | |
473 | The siaddr field is now left zeroed unless next-server is configured. | |
474 | ||
475 | - mockup_lease() could have returned in an error condition (or in the | |
476 | condition where no fixed-address was found matching the shared | |
477 | network) with stale references to a host record. This is probably not | |
478 | a memory leak since host records generally never die anyway. | |
479 | ||
480 | - A bug was repaired where failover servers would let stale client identifiers | |
481 | persist on leases that were reallocated to new clients not sending an id. | |
482 | ||
483 | - Binding scopes ("set var = value;") are now removed from leases allocated | |
484 | by failover peers if the lease had expired. This should help reduce the | |
485 | number of stale binding scopes on leases. | |
486 | ||
487 | - A small memory leak was closed involving client identifiers larger than | |
488 | 7 bytes, and failover. | |
489 | ||
490 | - Configuring a subnet in dhcpd.conf with a subnet mask of 32 bits might | |
491 | cause an internal function to overflow heap. Thanks to Jason Vas Dias | |
492 | at Redhat. | |
493 | ||
494 | - Some inconsistencies in treating numbers that the lexer parsed as 'NUMBER' | |
495 | or 'NUMBER_OR_NAME' was repaired. Hexadecimal parsing is affected, and | |
496 | should work better. | |
497 | ||
498 | - In several cases, parse warnings were being issued before the lexical | |
499 | token had been advanced to the token whose value was causing an error... | |
500 | causing parse warnings to claim the problem is on the wrong token. | |
501 | ||
502 | - Host declarations matching on client identifier for dynamic leases will | |
503 | no longer match fixed-address host declarations (this is now identical | |
504 | to behaviour for host records matching on hardware address). | |
505 | ||
506 | Changes since 3.0.2rc3 | |
507 | ||
508 | - A previously undocumented configuration directive, 'local-address', | |
509 | was documented in the dhcpd.conf manpage. | |
510 | ||
511 | Changes since 3.0.2rc2 | |
512 | ||
513 | - Two varaibles introduced in 3.0.2b1 were used without being initialized | |
514 | in the case where neither the FILE nor SNAME fields were available for | |
515 | overloading. This was repaired. | |
516 | ||
517 | - A heretofore believed to be impossible corner case of the option | |
518 | overloading implementation turned out to be possible ("Unable to sort | |
519 | overloaded options after 10 tries."). The implementation was reworked | |
520 | to consider the case of an option so large it would require more than | |
521 | three chunks to fit. | |
522 | ||
523 | - Many other instances of variables being used without being initialized | |
524 | were repaired. | |
525 | ||
526 | - An uninitialized variable in omapi_io_destroy() led to the discovery | |
527 | that this function may result in orphaned pointers (and hence, a memory | |
528 | leak). | |
529 | ||
530 | Changes since 3.0.2rc1 | |
531 | ||
532 | - allocate_lease() was rewritten to repair a bug in which the server would | |
533 | try to allocate an ABANDONED lease when FREE leases were available. | |
534 | ||
535 | Changes since 3.0.2b1 | |
536 | ||
537 | - Some dhcp-eval.5 manpage formatting was repaired. | |
538 | ||
539 | Changes since 3.0.1 | |
540 | ||
541 | - A bug was fixed in the server's 'option overloading' implementation, | |
542 | where options loaded into the 'file' and 'sname' packet fields were | |
543 | not aligned precisely as rfc2131 dictates. | |
544 | ||
545 | - The FreeBSD client script was changed to support the case where a domain | |
546 | name was not provided by the server. | |
547 | ||
548 | - A memory leak in 'omshell' per each command line parsed was | |
549 | repaired, thanks to a patch from Jarkko Torppa. | |
550 | ||
551 | - Log functions writing to stderr were adjusted to use the STDERR_FILENO | |
552 | system definition rather than '2'. This is a no-op for 90% of platforms. | |
553 | ||
554 | - One call to trace_write_packet_iov() counted the number of io vectors | |
555 | incorrectly, causing inconsistent tracefiles. This was fixed. | |
556 | ||
557 | - Some expression parse failure memory leaks were closed. | |
558 | ||
559 | - A host byte order problem in tracefiles was repaired. | |
560 | ||
561 | - Pools configured in DHCPD for failover possessing permission lists that | |
562 | previously were assumed to not include dyanmic bootp clients are now | |
563 | a little more pessimistic. The result is, dhcpd will nag you about just | |
564 | about most pools that possess a 'allow' statement with no 'deny' that | |
565 | would definitely match a dynamic bootp client. | |
566 | ||
567 | - The 'ddns-update-style' configuration warning bit now insists that | |
568 | the configuration be globally scoped. | |
569 | ||
570 | - Two memory leaks in dhclient were closed thanks to a patch from Felix | |
571 | Farkas. | |
572 | ||
573 | - Some minor but excellently pedantic documentation errors were fixed | |
574 | thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner. | |
575 | ||
576 | - Bugs in operator precedence in executable statements have been repaired | |
577 | once again. More legal syntaxes should be parsed legally. | |
578 | ||
579 | - Failing to initialize a tracefile for any reason if a tracefile was | |
580 | specified is now a fatal error. Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz. | |
581 | ||
582 | - Corrected a bug in which the number of leases transferred as calculated | |
583 | by the failover primary and sent to peers in POOLRESP responses may be | |
584 | incorrect. This value is not believed to be used by other failover | |
585 | implementations, excepting perhaps as logged information. | |
586 | ||
587 | - Corrected a bug in which 'dhcp_failover_send_poolresp()' was in fact | |
588 | sending POOLREQ messages instead of POOLRESP mesasges. This message | |
589 | was essentially ignored since failover secondaries effectively do not | |
590 | respond to POOLREQ messages. | |
591 | ||
592 | - Type definitions for various bitwidths of integers in the sunos5-5 | |
593 | build of ISC DHCP have been fixed. It should compile and run more | |
594 | easily when built in 64-bit for this platform. | |
595 | ||
596 | - "allow known-clients;" is now a legal syntax, to avoid confusion. | |
597 | ||
598 | - If one dhcp server chooses to 'load balance' a request to its failover | |
599 | peer, it first checks to see if it believes said peer has a free | |
600 | lease to allocate before ignoring the DISCOVER. | |
601 | ||
602 | - log() was logging a work buffer, rather than the value returned by | |
603 | executing the statements configured by the user. In some cases, | |
604 | the work buffer and the intended results were the same. In some other | |
605 | cases, they were not. This was fixed thanks to a patch from Gunnar | |
606 | Fjone and directconnect.no. | |
607 | ||
608 | - Compiler warnings for some string type conversions was fixed, thanks | |
609 | to Andreas Gustafsson. | |
610 | ||
611 | - The netbsd build environments were simplified to one, in which | |
612 | -Wconversion is not used, thanks to Andreas Gustafsson. | |
613 | ||
614 | - How randomness in the backoff-cutoff dhclient configuration variable | |
615 | is implemented was better documented in the manpage, and the behaviour | |
616 | of dhclient in REQUEST timeout handling was changed to match that of | |
617 | DISCOVER timeout handling. | |
618 | ||
619 | - Omapi was hardened against clients that pass in null values, thanks | |
620 | to a patch from Mark Jason Dominus. | |
621 | ||
622 | - A bug was fixed in dhclient that kept it from doing client-side | |
623 | ddns updates. Thanks to a patch from Andreas Gustafsson, which | |
624 | underwent some modification after review by Jason Vas Dias. | |
625 | ||
626 | - Failover implementations disconnected due to the network between | |
627 | them (rather than one of the two shutting down) will now try to | |
628 | re-establish the failover connection every 5 seconds, rather than | |
629 | to simply try once and give up until one of them is restarted. | |
630 | Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from Infoblox, and field testing | |
631 | by Greger V. Teigre which led to an enhancement to it. | |
632 | ||
633 | - A problem that kept DHCP Failover secondaries from tearing down | |
634 | ddns records was repaired. Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from | |
635 | Infoblox. | |
636 | ||
637 | - 64bit pointer sizes are detected properly on FreeBSD now. | |
638 | ||
639 | - A bug was repaired where the DHCP server would leave stale references | |
640 | to host records on leases it once thought about offering to certain | |
641 | clients. The result would be to apply host and 'known' scopes to the | |
642 | wrong clients (possibly denying booting). NOTE: The 'mis-host' patch | |
643 | that was being circulated as a workaround is not the way this bug was | |
644 | fixed. If you were a victim of this bug in 3.0.1, you are cautioned | |
645 | to proceed carefully and see if it fixes your problem. | |
646 | ||
647 | - A bug was repaired in the server's DHCPINFORM handling, where it | |
648 | tried to divine the client's address from the source packet and | |
649 | would get it wrong. Thanks to Anshuman Singh Rawat. | |
650 | ||
651 | - A log message was introduced to help illuminate the case where the | |
652 | server was unable to find a lease to assign to any BOOTP client. | |
653 | Thanks to Daniel Baker. | |
654 | ||
655 | - A minor dhcpd.conf.5 manpage error was fixed. | |
656 | ||
657 | Changes since 3.0.1rc14 | |
658 | ||
659 | - The global variable 'cur_time' was centralized and is now uniformly of a | |
660 | type #defined in system-dependent headers. It had previously been defined | |
661 | in one of many places as a 32-bit value, and this causes mayhem on 64-bit | |
662 | big endian systems. It probably wasn't too healthy on little endian | |
663 | systems either. | |
664 | ||
665 | - A printf format string error introduced in rc14 was repaired. | |
666 | ||
667 | - AIX system-dependent header file was altered to only define NO_SNPRINTF | |
668 | if the condition used to #ifdef in vsnprintf in AIX' header files | |
669 | is false. | |
670 | ||
671 | - The Alpha/OSF system-dependent header file was altered to define | |
672 | NO_SNPRINTF on OS revisions older than 4.0G. | |
673 | ||
674 | - omapip/test.c had string.h added to its includes. | |
675 | ||
676 | Changes since 3.0.1rc13 | |
677 | ||
678 | ! CAN-2004-0460 - CERT VU#317350: Five stack overflow exploits were closed | |
679 | in logging messages with excessively long hostnames provided by the | |
680 | clients. It is highly probable that these could have been used by | |
681 | attackers to gain arbitrary root access on systems using ISC DHCP 3.0.1 | |
682 | release candidates 12 or 13. Special thanks to Gregory Duchemin for | |
683 | both finding and solving the problem. | |
684 | ||
685 | ! CAN-2004-0461 - CERT VU#654390: Once the above was closed, an opening | |
686 | in log_*() functions was evidented, on some specific platforms where | |
687 | vsnprintf() was not believed to be available and calls were wrapped to | |
688 | sprintf() instead. Again, credit goes to Gregory Duchemin for finding | |
689 | the problem. Calls to snprintf() are now linked to a distribution-local | |
690 | snprintf implementation, only in those cases where the architecture is | |
691 | not known to provide one (see includes/cf/[arch].h). If you experience | |
692 | linking problems with snprintf/vsnprintf or 'isc_print_' functions, this | |
693 | is where to look. This vulnerability did not exist in any previously | |
694 | published version of ISC DHCP. | |
695 | ||
696 | - Compilation on hpux 11.11 was repaired. | |
697 | ||
698 | - 'The cross-compile bug fix' was backed out. | |
699 | ||
700 | Changes since 3.0.1rc12 | |
701 | ||
702 | - Fixed a bug in omapi lease lookup function, to form the hardware | |
703 | address for the hash lookup correctly, thanks to a patch from | |
704 | Richard Hirst. | |
705 | ||
706 | - Fixed a bug where dhcrelay was sending relayed responses back to the | |
707 | broadcast address, but with the source's unicast mac address. Should | |
708 | now conform to rfc2131 section 4.1. | |
709 | ||
710 | - Cross-compile bug fix; use $(AR) instead of ar. Thanks to Morten Brorup. | |
711 | ||
712 | - Fixed a crash bug in dhclient where dhcpd servers that do not provide | |
713 | renewal times results in an FPE. As a side effect, dhclient can now | |
714 | properly handle 0xFFFFFFFF (-1) expiry times supplied by servers. Thanks | |
715 | to a patch from Burt Silverman. | |
716 | ||
717 | - The 'ping timeout' debugs from rc12 were removed to -DDEBUG only, | |
718 | and reformatted to correct a compilation error on solaris platforms. | |
719 | ||
720 | - A patch was applied which fixes a case where leases read from the | |
721 | leases database do not properly over-ride previously read leases. | |
722 | ||
723 | - dhcpctl.3 manpage was tweaked. | |
724 | ||
725 | Changes since 3.0.1rc11 | |
726 | ||
727 | - A patch from Steve Campbell was applied with minor modifications to | |
728 | permit reverse dns PTR record updates with values containing spaces. | |
729 | ||
730 | - A patch from Florian Lohoff was applied with some modifications to | |
731 | dhcrelay. It now discards packets whose hop count exceeds 10 by default, | |
732 | and a command-line option (-c) can be used to set this threshold. | |
733 | ||
734 | - A failover bug relating to identifying peers by name length instead of | |
735 | by name was fixed. | |
736 | ||
737 | - Delcaring failover configs within shared-network statements should no | |
738 | longer result in error. | |
739 | ||
740 | - The -nw command line option to dhclient now works. | |
741 | ||
742 | - Thanks to a patch from Michael Richardson: | |
743 | - Some problems with long option processing have been fixed. | |
744 | - Some fixes to minires so that updates of KEY records will work. | |
745 | ||
746 | - contrib/ms2isc was updated by Shu-Min Chang of the Intel Corporation. | |
747 | see contrib/ms2isc/readme.txt for revision notes. | |
748 | ||
749 | - Dhclient no longer uses shell commands to kill another instance of | |
750 | itself, it sends the signal directly. Thanks to a patch from Martin | |
751 | Blapp. | |
752 | ||
753 | - The FreeBSD dhclient-script was changed so that a failure to write to | |
754 | /etc/resolv.conf does not prematurely end the script. This keeps dhclient | |
755 | from looping infinitely when this is the case. Thanks to a patch from | |
756 | Martin Blapp. | |
757 | ||
758 | - A patch from Bill Stephens was applied which resolves a problem with lease | |
759 | expiry times in failover configurations. | |
760 | ||
761 | - A memory leak in configuration parsing was closed thanks to a patch from | |
762 | Steve G. | |
763 | ||
764 | - The function which discovers interfaces will now skip non-broadcast or | |
765 | point-to-point interfaces, thanks to a patch from David Brownlee. | |
766 | ||
767 | - Options not yet known by the dhcpd or dhclient have had their names | |
768 | changed such that they do not contain # symbols, in case they should ever | |
769 | appear in a lease file. An option that might have been named "#144" is | |
770 | now "unknown-144". | |
771 | ||
772 | - Another patch from Bill Stephens which allows the ping-check timeout to | |
773 | be configured as 'ping-timeout'. Defaults to 1. | |
774 | ||
775 | Changes since 3.0.1rc10 | |
776 | ||
777 | - Potential buffer overflows in minires repaired. | |
778 | ||
779 | - A change to the linux client script to use /bin/bash, since /bin/sh may | |
780 | not be bash. | |
781 | ||
782 | - Some missing va_end cleanups thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner. | |
783 | ||
784 | - A correction of boolean parsing syntax validation - some illegal syntaxes | |
785 | that worked before are now detected and produce errs, some legal syntaxes | |
786 | that errored before will now work properly. | |
787 | ||
788 | - Some search-and-replace errors that caused some options to change their | |
789 | names was repaired. | |
790 | ||
791 | - Shu-min Chang of the Intel corporation has contributed a perl script and | |
792 | module that converts the MS NT4 DHCP configuration to a ISC DHCP3 | |
793 | configuration file. | |
794 | ||
795 | - Applied the remainder of the dhcpctl memory leak patch provided by Bill | |
796 | Squier at ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com). | |
797 | ||
798 | - Missing non-optional failover peer configurations will now result in a soft | |
799 | error rather than a null dereference. | |
800 | ||
801 | Changes since 3.0.1rc9 | |
802 | ||
803 | - A format string was corrected to fix compiler warnings. | |
804 | ||
805 | - A number of spelling corrections were made in the man pages. | |
806 | ||
807 | - The dhclient.conf.5 man page was changed to refer to do-forward-updates | |
808 | rather than a configuration option that doesn't exist. | |
809 | ||
810 | - A FreeBSD-specific bug in the interface removal handling was fixed. | |
811 | ||
812 | - A Linux-specific Token Ring detection problem was fixed. | |
813 | ||
814 | - Hashes removed from as-yet-unknown agent options, having those options | |
815 | appear in reality before we know about them will no longer produce | |
816 | self-corrupting lease databases. | |
817 | ||
818 | - dhclient will use the proper port numbers now when using the -g option. | |
819 | ||
820 | - A order-of-operations bug with 2 match clauses in 1 class statement is | |
821 | fixed thanks to a patch from Andrew Matheson. | |
822 | ||
823 | - Compilation problems on Solaris were fixed. | |
824 | ||
825 | - Compilation problems when built with DEBUG or DEBUG_PACKET were repaired. | |
826 | ||
827 | - A fix to the dhcp ack process which makes certain group options will be | |
828 | included in the first DHCPOFFER message was made thanks to a patch from | |
829 | Ling Gou. | |
830 | ||
831 | - A few memory leaks were repaired thanks to patches from Bill Squier at | |
832 | ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com). | |
833 | ||
834 | - A fix for shared-networks that sometimes give clients options for the | |
835 | wrong subnets (in particular, 'option routers') was applied, thanks to | |
836 | Ted Lemon for the patch. | |
837 | ||
838 | - Omshell's handling of dotted octets as values was changed such that dots | |
839 | one after the other produce zero values in the integer string. | |
840 | ||
841 | Changes since 3.0.1rc8 | |
842 | ||
843 | - Fix a format string vulnerability in the server that could lead to a | |
844 | remote root compromise (discovered by NGSEC Research Team, www.ngsec.com). | |
845 | ||
846 | - Add additional support for NetBSD/sparc64. | |
847 | ||
848 | - Fix a bug in the command-line parsing of the client. Also, resolve | |
849 | a memory leak. | |
850 | ||
851 | - Add better support for shells other than bash in the Linux client | |
852 | script. | |
853 | ||
854 | - Various build fixes for modern versions of FreeBSD and Linux. | |
855 | ||
856 | - Fix a bad bounds check when printing binding state names. | |
857 | ||
858 | - Clarify documentation about fixed-address and multiple addresses. | |
859 | ||
860 | - Fix a typo in the authoritative error message. | |
861 | ||
862 | - Make a log entry when we can't write a billing class. | |
863 | ||
864 | - Use conversion targets that are the right size on all architectures. | |
865 | ||
866 | - Increment the hop count when relaying. | |
867 | ||
868 | - Log a message when lease state is changed through OMAPI. | |
869 | ||
870 | - Don't rerun the shared_network when evaluating the pool. | |
871 | ||
872 | - Fix a reversed test in the parser. | |
873 | ||
874 | - Change the type of rbuf_max. | |
875 | ||
876 | - Make FTS_LAST a manifest constant to quiet warnings. | |
877 | ||
878 | Changes since 3.0.1rc7 | |
879 | ||
880 | - Fix two compiler warnings that are generated when compiling on Solaris | |
881 | with gcc. These stop the build, even though they weren't actually | |
882 | errors, because we prefer that our builds generate no warnings. | |
883 | ||
884 | Changes since 3.0.1rc6 | |
885 | ||
886 | - Don't allow a lease that's in the EXPIRED, RELEASED or RESET state | |
887 | to be renewed. | |
888 | ||
889 | - Implement lease stealing for cases where the primary has fewer leases | |
890 | than the secondary, as called for by the standard. | |
891 | ||
892 | - Add a fudge factor to the lease expiry acceptance code, (suggested | |
893 | by Kevin Miller of CMU). | |
894 | ||
895 | - Fix a bug in permit_list_match that made it much too willing to say | |
896 | that two permit lists matched. | |
897 | ||
898 | - Unless DEBUG_DNS_UPDATES is defined, print more user-friendly (and | |
899 | also more compact) messages about DNS updates. | |
900 | ||
901 | - Fix a bug in generating wire-format domain names for the FQDN option. | |
902 | ||
903 | - Fix a bug where the FQDN option would not be returned if the client | |
904 | requested it, contrary to the standard. | |
905 | ||
906 | - On Darwin, use the FreeBSD DHCP client script. | |
907 | ||
908 | - On NetBSD/sparc, don't check for casting warnings. | |
909 | ||
910 | - Add a flag in the DHCP client to disable updating the client's A | |
911 | record when sending an FQDN option indicating that the client is | |
912 | going to update its A record. | |
913 | ||
914 | - In the client, don't attempt a DNS update until one second after | |
915 | configuring the new IP address, and if the update times out, keep | |
916 | trying until a response, positive or negative, is received from the | |
917 | DNS server. | |
918 | ||
919 | - Fix an uninitialized memory bug in the DHCP client. | |
920 | ||
921 | - Apply some FreeBSD-specific bug fixes suggested by Murray Stokely. | |
922 | ||
923 | - Fix a bug in ns_parserr(), where it was returning the wrong sort | |
924 | of result code in some cases (suggested by Ben Harris of the | |
925 | NetBSD project). | |
926 | ||
927 | - Fix a bug in is_identifier(), where it was checking against EOF | |
928 | instead of the END_OF_FILE token (also suggested by Ben Harris). | |
929 | ||
930 | - Fix a bug where if an option universe contained no options, the | |
931 | DHCP server could dump core (Walter Steiner). | |
932 | ||
933 | - Fix a bug in the handling of encapsulated options. | |
934 | ||
935 | - Fix a bug that prevented NWIP suboptions from being processed. | |
936 | ||
937 | - Delete the FTS_BOOTP and FTS_RESERVED states and implement them | |
938 | as modifier flags to the FTS_ACTIVE state, as called for in the | |
939 | failover protocol standard. | |
940 | ||
941 | - Fix bugs in the pool merging code that resulted in references and | |
942 | dereferences of null pointers. This bug had no impact unless the | |
943 | POINTER_DEBUG flag was defined. | |
944 | ||
945 | - In the server, added a do-forward-updates flag that can be used to | |
946 | disable forward updates in all cases, so that sites that want the | |
947 | clients to take sole responsibility for updating their A record can | |
948 | do so. | |
949 | ||
950 | - Make it possible to disable optimization of PTR record updates. | |
951 | ||
952 | Changes since 3.0.1rc5 | |
953 | ||
954 | - Include some new documentation and changes provided by Karl Auer. | |
955 | ||
956 | - Add a workaround for some Lexmark printers that send a double-NUL- | |
957 | terminated host-name option, which would break DNS updates. | |
958 | ||
959 | - Fix an off-by-one error in the MAC-address checking code for | |
960 | DHCPRELEASE that was added in 3.0.1rc5. | |
961 | ||
962 | - Fix a bug where client-specific information was not being discarded | |
963 | from the lease when it expired or was released, resulting in | |
964 | problems if the lease was reallocated to a different client. | |
965 | ||
966 | - If more than one allocation pool is specified that has the same set | |
967 | of constraints as another allocation pool on the same shared | |
968 | network, merge the two pools. | |
969 | ||
970 | - Don't print an error in fallback_discard, since this just causes | |
971 | confusion and does not appear to be helping to encourage anyone to | |
972 | fix this bug. | |
973 | ||
974 | Changes since 3.0.1rc4 | |
975 | ||
976 | - Fix a bug that would cause the DHCP server to spin if asked to parse | |
977 | a certain kind of incorrect statement. | |
978 | ||
979 | - Fix a related bug that would prevent an error from being reported in | |
980 | the same case. | |
981 | ||
982 | - Additional documentation. | |
983 | ||
984 | - Make sure that the hardware address matches the lease when | |
985 | processing a DHCPRELEASE message. | |
986 | ||
987 | Changes since 3.0.1rc3 | |
988 | ||
989 | - A minor bug fix in the arguments to a logging function call. | |
990 | - Documentation update for dhcpd.conf. | |
991 | ||
992 | Changes since 3.0.1rc2 | |
993 | ||
994 | - Allow the primary to send a POOLREQ message. This isn't what the current | |
995 | failover draft says to do, so we may have to back it out if I can't get the | |
996 | authors to relent, but the scheme for balancing that's specified in the | |
997 | current draft seems needlessly hairy, so I'm floating a trial balloon. | |
998 | The rc1 code did not implement the method described in the draft either. | |
999 | ||
1000 | Changes since 3.0.1rc1 | |
1001 | ||
1002 | - Treat NXDOMAIN and NXRRSET as success when we are trying to delete a | |
1003 | domain or RRSET. This allows the DHCP server to forget about a name | |
1004 | it added to the DNS once it's been removed, even if the DHCP server | |
1005 | wasn't the one that removed it. | |
1006 | ||
1007 | - Install defaults for failover maximum outstanding updates and maximum | |
1008 | silent time. This prevents problems that might occur if these values | |
1009 | were not configured. | |
1010 | ||
1011 | - Don't do DDNS deletes if ddns-update-style is none. | |
1012 | ||
1013 | - Return relay agent information options in DHCPNAK. This prevents DHCPNAK | |
1014 | messages from being dropped when the relay agent information option contains | |
1015 | routing information. | |
1016 | ||
1017 | - Fix a problem where coming up in recover wouldn't result in an update | |
1018 | request being sent. | |
1019 | ||
1020 | - Add some more chatty messages when we start a recovery update and when it's | |
1021 | done. | |
1022 | ||
1023 | - Fix a possible problem where some state might have been left around | |
1024 | after the peer lost contact and regained contact about how many updates | |
1025 | were pending. | |
1026 | ||
1027 | - Don't nix a lease update because of a lease conflict. This test has | |
1028 | never (as far as I know) prevented a mistake, and it appears to cause | |
1029 | problems with failover. | |
1030 | ||
1031 | - Add support in rc history code for keeping a selective history, rather | |
1032 | than a history of all references and dereferences. This code is only used | |
1033 | when extensive additional debugging is enabled. | |
1034 | ||
1035 | Changes since 3.0 | |
1036 | ||
1037 | - Make allocators for hash tables. As a side effect, this fixes a memory | |
1038 | smash in the subclass allocation code. | |
1039 | ||
1040 | - Fix a small bug in omshell where if you try to close an object when | |
1041 | no object is open, it dumps core. | |
1042 | ||
1043 | - Fix an obscure coredump that could occur on shutdown. | |
1044 | ||
1045 | - Fix a bug in the recording of host declaration rubouts in the lease file. | |
1046 | ||
1047 | - Fix two potential spins in the host deletion code. | |
1048 | ||
1049 | - Fix a core dump that would happen if an application tried to update | |
1050 | a host object attribute with a null value. | |
1051 | ||
1052 | Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 12 | |
1053 | ||
1054 | - Fix a memory leak in the evaluation code. | |
1055 | ||
1056 | - Fix an obscure core dump. | |
1057 | ||
1058 | - Print a couple of new warnings when parsing the configuration file | |
1059 | when crucial information is left out. | |
1060 | ||
1061 | - Log "no free leases" as an error. | |
1062 | ||
1063 | - Documentation updates. | |
1064 | ||
1065 | Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 11 | |
1066 | ||
1067 | - Always return a subnet selection option if one is sent. | |
1068 | ||
1069 | - Fix a warning that was being printed because an automatic data | |
1070 | structure wasn't zeroed. | |
1071 | ||
1072 | - Fix some failover state transitions that were being handled | |
1073 | incorrectly. | |
1074 | ||
1075 | - When supersede_lease is called on a lease whose end time has already | |
1076 | expired, but for which a state transition has not yet been done, do | |
1077 | a state transition. This fixes the case where if the secondary | |
1078 | allocated a lease to a client and the lease "expired" while the | |
1079 | secondary was in partner-down, no expiry event would actually | |
1080 | happen, so the lease would remain active until the primary was | |
1081 | restarted. | |
1082 | ||
1083 | Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 10 | |
1084 | ||
1085 | - Fix a bug that was preventing released leases from changing state | |
1086 | in failover-enabled pools. | |
1087 | ||
1088 | - Fix a core dump in the client identifier finder code (for host | |
1089 | declarations). | |
1090 | ||
1091 | - Finish fixing a bug where bogus data would sometimes get logged to | |
1092 | the dhclient.leases file because it was opened as descriptor 2. | |
1093 | ||
1094 | - Fix the Linux dhclient-script according to suggestions made by | |
1095 | several people on the dhcp-client mailing list. | |
1096 | ||
1097 | - Log successful DNS updates at LOG_INFO, not LOG_ERROR. | |
1098 | ||
1099 | - Print an error message and refuse to run if a failover peer is | |
1100 | defined but not referenced by any pools. | |
1101 | ||
1102 | - Correct a confusing error message in failover. | |
1103 | ||
eaf0b302 TL |
1104 | Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 9 |
1105 | ||
1106 | - Fix a bug in lease allocation for Dynamic BOOTP clients. | |
1107 | ||
0db87765 TL |
1108 | Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8 Patchlevel 2 |
1109 | ||
1110 | - Fix a bug that prevented update-static-leases from working. | |
1111 | ||
1112 | - Document failover-state OMAPI object. | |
1113 | ||
1114 | - Fix a compilation error on SunOS 4. | |
1115 | ||
d758ad8c TL |
1116 | Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8 Patchlevel 1 |
1117 | ||
1118 | - Fix a parsing bug that broke dns updates (both interim and ad-hoc). | |
1119 | This was introduced in rc8pl1 as an unintended result of the memory | |
1120 | leakage fixes that were in pl1. | |
1121 | ||
1122 | - Fix a long-standing bug where the server would record that an update | |
1123 | had been done for a client with no name, even though no update had | |
1124 | been done, and then when the client's lease expired the deletion of | |
1125 | that nonexistant record would time out because the name was the null | |
1126 | string. | |
1127 | ||
1128 | - Clean up the omshell, dhcpctl and omapi man pages a bit. | |
1129 | ||
d758ad8c TL |
1130 | Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8 |
1131 | ||
1132 | - Fix a bug that could cause the DHCP server to spin if | |
1133 | one-lease-per-client was enabled. | |
1134 | ||
1135 | - Fix a bug that was causing core dumps on BSD/os in the presence of | |
1136 | malformed packets. | |
1137 | ||
1138 | - In partner-down state, don't restrict lease lengths to MCLT. | |
1139 | ||
1140 | - On the failover secondary, record the MCLT received from the primary | |
1141 | so that if we come up without a connection to the primary we don't | |
1142 | wind up giving out zero-length leases. | |
1143 | ||
1144 | - Fix some compilation problems on BSD/os. | |
1145 | ||
1146 | - Fix a bunch of memory leaks. | |
1147 | ||
1148 | - Fix a couple of bugs in the option printer. | |
1149 | ||
1150 | - Fix an obscure error reporting bug in the dns update code, and also | |
1151 | make the message clearer when a key algorithm isn't supported. | |
1152 | ||
1153 | - Fix a bug in the tracing code that prevented trace runs that used | |
1154 | tcp connections from being played back. | |
1155 | ||
1156 | - Add some additional debugging capability for catching memory leaks | |
1157 | on exit. | |
1158 | ||
1159 | - Make the client release the lease correctly on shutdown. | |
1160 | ||
1161 | - Add some configurability to the build system. | |
1162 | ||
1163 | - Install omshell manual page in man1, not man8. | |
1164 | ||
1165 | - Craig Gwydir sent in a patch that fixes a long-standing bug in the | |
1166 | DHCP client that could cause core dumps, but that for some reason | |
1167 | hadn't been noticed until now. | |
1168 | ||
1169 | Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 7 | |
1170 | ||
1171 | - Fix a bug in failover where we weren't sending updates after a | |
1172 | transition from communications-interrupted to normal. | |
1173 | ||
1174 | - Handle expired/released/reset -> free transition according to the | |
1175 | protocol specification (this works - the other way not only wasn't | |
1176 | conformant, but also didn't work). | |
1177 | ||
1178 | - Add a control object in both client and server that allows either | |
1179 | daemon to be shut down cleanly. | |
1180 | ||
1181 | - When writing a lease, if we run out of disk space, shut down the | |
1182 | output file and insist on writing a new one before proceeding. | |
1183 | ||
1184 | - In the server, if the OMAPI listener port is occupied, keep trying | |
1185 | to get it, rather than simply giving up and exiting. | |
1186 | ||
1187 | - Support fetching variables from leases and also updating and adding | |
1188 | variables to leases via OMAPI. | |
1189 | ||
1190 | - If two failover peers have wildly different clocks, refuse to start | |
1191 | doing failover. | |
1192 | ||
1193 | - Fix a bug in the DNS update code that could cause core dumps when | |
1194 | running on alpha processors. | |
1195 | ||
1196 | - Fixed a bug in ddns updates for static lease entries, thanks to a | |
1197 | patch from Andrey M Linkevitch. | |
1198 | ||
1199 | - Add support for Darwin/MacOS X | |
1200 | ||
1201 | - Install omshell (including new documentation). | |
1202 | ||
1203 | - Support DNS updates in the client (this is a very obscure feature | |
1204 | that most DHCP client users probably will not be able to use). | |
1205 | ||
1206 | - Somewhat cleaner status logging in the client. | |
1207 | ||
1208 | - Make OMAPI key naming syntax compatible with the way keys are | |
1209 | actually named (key names are domain names). | |
1210 | ||
1211 | - Fix a bug in the lease file writer. | |
1212 | ||
1213 | - Install DHCP ISC headers in a different place than BIND 9 ISC | |
1214 | headers, to avoid causing trouble in BIND 9 builds. | |
1215 | ||
1216 | - Don't send updates for attributes on an object when the attributes | |
1217 | haven't changed. Support deleting attributes on remote objects. | |
1218 | ||
1219 | - Fix a number of bugs in omshell, and add the unset and refresh | |
1220 | statements. | |
1221 | ||
1222 | - Handle disconnects in OMAPI a little bit more intelligently (so that | |
1223 | the caller gets ECONNRESET instead of EINVAL). | |
1224 | ||
1225 | - Fix a bunch of bugs in the handling of clients that have existing | |
1226 | leases when the try to renew their leases while failover is | |
1227 | operating. | |
1228 | ||
eaf0b302 TL |
1229 | Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 6 |
1230 | ||
1231 | - Fix a core dump that could happen when processing a DHCPREQUEST from | |
1232 | a client that had a host declaration that contained both a | |
1233 | fixed-address declaration and a dhcp-client-identifier option | |
1234 | declaration, if the client identifier was longer than nine bytes. | |
1235 | ||
1236 | - Fix a memory leak that could happen in certain obscure cases when | |
1237 | using omapi to manipulate leases. | |
1238 | ||
1239 | - Fix some bugs and omissions in omshell. | |
1240 | ||
1241 | ||
1242 | Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 5 | |
1243 | ||
1244 | - Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that prevented objects in | |
1245 | chains from having their reference counts decreased on dereference. | |
1246 | ||
1247 | - Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that would prevent object | |
1248 | chains from being freed upon removal of the last reference external | |
1249 | to the chain. | |
1250 | ||
1251 | - Fix a number of other memory leaks in the OMAPI protocol subsystem. | |
1252 | ||
1253 | - Add code in the OMAPI protocol handler to trace memory leakage. | |
1254 | ||
1255 | - Clean up the memory allocation/reference history printer. | |
1256 | ||
98311e4b | 1257 | - Support input of dotted quads and colon-separated hex lists as |
eaf0b302 TL |
1258 | attribute values in omshell. |
1259 | ||
98311e4b | 1260 | - Fix a typo in the Linux interface discovery code. |
eaf0b302 TL |
1261 | |
1262 | - Conditionalize a piece of trace code that wasn't conditional. | |
1263 | ||
1264 | Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 4 | |
1265 | ||
1266 | - Fix a bug that would prevent leases from being abandoned properly on | |
1267 | DHCPDECLINE. | |
1268 | ||
1269 | - Fix failover peer OMAPI support. | |
1270 | ||
1271 | - In failover, correctly handle expiration of leases. Previously, | |
1272 | leases would never be reclaimed because they couldn't make the | |
1273 | transition from EXPIRED to FREE. | |
1274 | ||
1275 | - Fix some broken failover state transitions. | |
1276 | ||
1277 | - Documentation fixes. | |
1278 | ||
1279 | - Take out an unnecessary check in DHCP relay agent information option | |
1280 | stashing code that was preventing REBINDING clients from rebinding. | |
1281 | ||
1282 | - Prevent failover peers from allocating leases in DHCPREQUEST | |
1283 | processing if the lease belongs to the other server. | |
1284 | ||
1285 | - Record server version in lease file introductory comment. | |
1286 | ||
1287 | - Correctly report connection errors in OMAPI and failover. | |
1288 | ||
1289 | - Make authentication signature algorithm name comparisons in OMAPI | |
1290 | case-insensitive. | |
1291 | ||
1292 | - Fix compile problem on SunOS 4.x | |
1293 | ||
98311e4b | 1294 | - If a signature algorithm is not terminated with '.', terminate it so |
eaf0b302 TL |
1295 | that comparisons between fully-qualified names will work |
1296 | consistently. | |
1297 | ||
1298 | - Different SIOCGIFCONF probe code, may "fix" problem on some Linux | |
1299 | systems with the probe not working correctly. | |
1300 | ||
1301 | - Don't allow user to type omapi key on command line of omshell. | |
1302 | ||
0596b051 TL |
1303 | Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 3 |
1304 | ||
1305 | - Do lease billing on startup in a way that I *think* will finally do | |
1306 | the billing correctly - the previous method could overbill as a | |
1307 | result of duplicate leases. | |
1308 | ||
1309 | - Document OMAPI server objects. | |
1310 | ||
892fe689 TL |
1311 | Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 2 Patchlevel 1 |
1312 | ||
1313 | - Fix some problems in the DDNS update code. Thanks to Albert | |
1314 | Herranz for figuring out the main problem. | |
1315 | ||
1316 | - Fix some reference counting errors on host entries that were causing | |
1317 | core dumps. | |
1318 | ||
1319 | - Fix a byte-swap bug in the token ring code, thanks to Jochen | |
1320 | Friedrich. | |
1321 | ||
1322 | - Fix a bug in lease billing, thanks to Jonas Bulow. | |
1323 | ||
1324 | Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 2 | |
1325 | ||
1326 | - Change the conditions under which a DHCPRELEASE is actually | |
1327 | committed to be consistent with lease binding states rather than | |
98311e4b | 1328 | using the lease end time. This may fix some problems with the |
892fe689 TL |
1329 | billing class code. |
1330 | ||
1331 | - Fix a bug where lease updates would fail on Digital Unix (and maybe | |
1332 | others) because malloc was called with a size of zero. | |
1333 | ||
1334 | - Fix a core dump that happens when the DHCP server can't create its | |
1335 | trace file. | |
1336 | ||
79ea3de8 | 1337 | Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 1 Patchlevel 1 |
87784777 | 1338 | |
79ea3de8 TL |
1339 | - Fix the dhcp_failover_put_message to not attempt to allocate a |
1340 | zero-length buffer. Some versions of malloc() fail if you try to | |
1341 | allocate a zero-length buffer, and this was causing problems on, | |
1342 | e.g., Digital Unix. | |
1343 | ||
1344 | - Fix a case where the failover code was printing an error message | |
1345 | when no error had occurred. | |
1346 | ||
1347 | - Fix a problem where when a server went down and back up again, the | |
1348 | peer would not see a state transition and so would stay in the | |
1349 | non-communicating state. | |
1350 | ||
1351 | - Be smart about going into recover_wait. | |
1352 | ||
1353 | - Fix a problem in the failover implementation where peers would fail | |
1354 | to come into sync if interrupted in the RECOVER state. This could | |
1355 | have been the cause of some problems people have reported recently. | |
1356 | ||
1357 | - Fix a problem with billing classes where they would not be unbilled | |
1358 | when the client lease expired. | |
1359 | ||
1360 | - If select fails, figure out which descriptor is bad, and cut it out | |
1361 | of the I/O loop. This prevents a potentially nasty spin. I | |
1362 | haven't heard any report it in a while, but it came up consistently | |
1363 | in testing. | |
1364 | ||
1365 | - Fix a bug in the relay agent where if you specified interfaces on | |
1366 | the command line, it would fail. | |
1367 | ||
1368 | - Fix a couple of small bugs in the omapi connection object (no known | |
1369 | user impact). | |
1370 | ||
1371 | - Add the missing 3.0 Beta 1 lease conversion script. | |
1372 | ||
1373 | - Read dhcp client script hooks if they exist, rather than only if | |
1374 | they're executable. | |
1375 | ||
1376 | Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 1 | |
87784777 TL |
1377 | |
1378 | - Fix a memory smash that happens when fixed-address leases are used. | |
1379 | ANY SITE AT WHICH FIXED-ADDRESS STATEMENTS ARE BEING USED SHOULD | |
1380 | UPGRADE IMMEDIATELY. This has been a long-standing bug - thanks to | |
1381 | Alvise Nobile for discovering it and helping me to find it! | |
1382 | ||
79ea3de8 TL |
1383 | - Fix a small bug in binary-to-ascii, thanks to H. Peter Anvin of |
1384 | Transmeta. | |
1385 | ||
87784777 TL |
1386 | - There is a known problem with the DHCP server doing failover on |
1387 | Compaq Alpha systems. This patchlevel is not a release candidate | |
1388 | because of this bug. The bug should be straightforward to fix, so | |
1389 | a new release candidate is expected shortly. | |
1390 | ||
1391 | - There is a known problem in the DDNS update code that is probably a | |
1392 | bug, and is not, as far as we know, fixed in this patchlevel. | |
1393 | ||
6d779c72 TL |
1394 | Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 24 |
1395 | ||
1396 | - Went over problematic failover state transitions and made them all | |
1397 | work, so that failover should now much less fragile. | |
1398 | ||
1399 | - Add some dhcpctl and omapi documentation | |
1400 | ||
1401 | - Fix compile errors when compiling with unusual predefines. | |
1402 | ||
1403 | - Make Token Ring work on Linux 2.4 | |
1404 | ||
1405 | - Fix the Digital Unix BPF_WORDALIGN bug. | |
1406 | ||
1407 | - Fix some dhcp client documentation errors. | |
1408 | ||
1409 | - Update some parts of the README file. | |
1410 | ||
1411 | - Support GCC on SCO. | |
1412 | ||
de57e64b TL |
1413 | Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 23 |
1414 | ||
1415 | - Fix a bug in the DNS update code where a status code was not being | |
1416 | checked. This may have been causing core dumps. | |
1417 | ||
1418 | - When parsing the lease file, if a lease declaration includes a | |
1419 | billing class statement, and the lease already has a billing class, | |
1420 | unbill the old class. | |
1421 | ||
1422 | - When processing failover transactions, where acks will be deferred, | |
1423 | process the state transition immediately. | |
1424 | ||
1425 | - Don't try to use the new SIOCGIFCONF buffer size detection code on | |
1426 | Linux 2.0, which doesn't provide this functionality. | |
1427 | ||
1428 | - Apply a patch suggested by Tuan Uong for a problem in dlpi.c. | |
1429 | ||
1430 | - Fix a problem in using the which command in the configure script. | |
1431 | ||
1432 | - Fix a parse error in the client when setting up an omapi listener. | |
1433 | ||
1434 | - Document the -n and -g flags to the client. | |
1435 | ||
1436 | - Make sure there is always a stdin and stdout on startup. This | |
1437 | prevents shell scripts from accidentally writing error messages into | |
1438 | configuration files that happen to be opened as stderr. | |
1439 | ||
1440 | - If an interface is removed, the client will now notice that it is | |
1441 | gone rather than spinning. This has only been tested on NetBSD. | |
1442 | ||
1443 | - The client will attempt to get an address even if it can't create a | |
1444 | lease file. | |
1445 | ||
1446 | - Don't overwrite tracefiles. | |
1447 | ||
1448 | - Fix some memory allocation bugs in failover. | |
2aa36519 | 1449 | |
140158d3 TL |
1450 | Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 22 |
1451 | ||
1452 | - Apply some patches suggested by Cyrille Lefevre, who is maintaining | |
1453 | the FreeBSD ISC DHCP Distribution port. | |
1454 | ||
1455 | - Fix a core dump in DHCPRELEASE. | |
1456 | ||
3a395e60 TL |
1457 | Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 21 |
1458 | ||
1459 | - This time for sure: fix the spin described in the changes for pl20. | |
1460 | ||
fc74dd0c TL |
1461 | Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 20 |
1462 | ||
1463 | - Fix a problem with Linux detecting large numbers of interfaces (Ben) | |
1464 | ||
1465 | - Fix a memory smash in the quotify code, which was introduced in | |
1466 | pl19. | |
1467 | ||
1468 | - Actually fix the spin described in the changes for pl20. The | |
1469 | previous fix only partially fixed the problem - enough to get it | |
1470 | past the regression test. | |
1471 | ||
ed5ee591 TL |
1472 | Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 19 |
1473 | ||
1474 | - Fix a bug that could cause the server to abort if compiled with | |
1475 | POINTER_DEBUG enabled. | |
1476 | ||
1477 | - Fix a bug that could cause the server to spin when responding to a | |
1478 | DHCPREQUEST. | |
1479 | ||
1480 | - Apply Joost Mulders' suggested patches for DLPI on x86. | |
1481 | ||
1482 | - Support NUL characters in quoted strings. | |
1483 | ||
1484 | - Install unformatted man pages on SunOS. | |
1485 | ||
b3fad8ac TL |
1486 | Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 18 |
1487 | ||
3350f5b7 TL |
1488 | - Allow the server to be placed in partner-down state using OMAPI. |
1489 | (Damien Neil) | |
1490 | ||
1491 | - Implement omshell, which can be used to do arbitrary things to the | |
1492 | server (in theory). (Damien Neil) | |
1493 | ||
1494 | - Fix a case where if a client had two different leases the server could | |
1495 | actually dereference the second one when it hadn't been referenced, | |
1496 | leading to memory corruption and a core dump. (James Brister) | |
1497 | ||
1498 | - Fix a case where a client could request the address of another client's | |
1499 | lease, but find_lease wouldn't detect that the other client had it, and | |
1500 | would attempt to allocate it to the client, resulting in a lease conflict | |
1501 | message. | |
1502 | ||
1503 | - Fix a case where a client with more than one client identifier could be | |
1504 | given a lease where the hardware address was correct but the client | |
1505 | identifier was not, resulting in a lease conflict message. | |
1506 | ||
98311e4b | 1507 | - Fix a problem where the server could write out a colon-separated |
3350f5b7 TL |
1508 | hex list as a value for a variable, which would then not parse. |
1509 | The fix is to always write strings as quoted strings, with any | |
1510 | non-printable characters quoted as octal escape sequences. So | |
1511 | a file written the old way still won't work, but new files written | |
1512 | this way will work. | |
1513 | ||
b3fad8ac TL |
1514 | - Fix documentation for sending non-standard options. |
1515 | ||
1516 | - Use unparsable names for unknown options. WARNING: this will | |
1517 | break any configuration files that use the option-nnn convention. | |
1518 | If you want to continue to use this convention for some options, | |
1519 | please be sure to write a definition, like this: | |
1520 | ||
1521 | option option-nnn code nnn = string; | |
1522 | ||
1523 | You can use a descriptive name instead of option-nnn if you like. | |
1524 | ||
1525 | - Fix a problem where we would see a DHCPDISCOVER/DHCPOFFER/ | |
1526 | DHCPREQUEST/DHCPACK/DHCPREQUEST/DHCPNAK sequence. This was the | |
1527 | result of a deceptively silly bug in supersede_lease. | |
1528 | ||
1529 | - Fix client script exit status check, according to a fix supplied by | |
1530 | Hermann Lauer. | |
1531 | ||
1532 | - Fix an endianness bug in the tracefile support, regarding ICMP | |
1533 | messages. | |
1534 | ||
3350f5b7 TL |
1535 | - Fix a bug in the client where the medium would not work correctly if |
1536 | it contained quoted strings. | |
1537 | ||
b3fad8ac TL |
1538 | ** there was no pl17 ** |
1539 | ||
e6d30fd6 TL |
1540 | Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 16 |
1541 | ||
6da9db9d TL |
1542 | - Add support for transaction tracing. This allows the state of the |
1543 | DHCP server on startup, and all the subsequent transactions, to be | |
1544 | recorded in a file which can then be played back to reproduce the | |
1545 | behaviour of the DHCP server. This can be used to quickly | |
1546 | reproduce bugs that cause core dumps or corruption, and also for | |
1547 | tracking down memory leaks. | |
1548 | ||
1549 | - Incorporate some bug fixes provided by Joost Mulders for the DLPI | |
1550 | package which should clear up problems people have been seeing on | |
1551 | Solaris. | |
1552 | ||
1553 | - Fix bugs in the handling of options stored as linked lists (agent | |
1554 | options, fqdn options and nwip options) that could cause memory | |
1555 | corruption and core dumps. | |
1556 | ||
1557 | - Fix a bug in DHCPREQUEST handling that resulted in DHCPNAK messages | |
1558 | not being send in some cases when they were needed. | |
1559 | ||
1560 | - Make the lease structure somewhat more compact. | |
1561 | ||
1562 | - Make initial failover startup *much* faster. This was researched | |
1563 | and implemented by Damien Neil. | |
1564 | ||
1565 | - Add a --version flag to all executables, which prints the program | |
1566 | name and version to standard output. | |
1567 | ||
1568 | - Don't rewrite the lease file every thousand leases. | |
1569 | ||
e6d30fd6 TL |
1570 | - A bug in nit.c for older SunOS machines was fixed by a patch sent in |
1571 | by Takeshi Hagiwara. | |
1572 | ||
6da9db9d TL |
1573 | - Fix a memory corruption bug in the DHCP client. |
1574 | ||
1575 | - Lots of documentation updates. | |
1576 | ||
1577 | - Add a feature allowing environment variables to be passed to the | |
1578 | DHCP client script on the DHCP client command line. | |
1579 | ||
1580 | - Fix client medium support, which had been broken for some time. | |
1581 | ||
1582 | - Fix a bug in the DHCP client initial startup backoff interval, which | |
1583 | would cause two DHCPDISCOVERS to be sent back-to-back on startup. | |
1584 | ||
1585 | ||
af49fdff TL |
1586 | Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 15 |
1587 | ||
1588 | - Some documentation tweaks. | |
1589 | ||
1590 | - Maybe fix a problem in the DLPI code. | |
1591 | ||
1592 | - Fix some error code space inconsistencies in ddns update code. | |
1593 | ||
1594 | - Support relay agents that intercept unicast DHCP messages to stuff | |
1595 | agent options into them. | |
1596 | ||
1597 | - Fix a small memory leak in the relay agent option support code. | |
1598 | ||
c5b569f8 TL |
1599 | - Fix a core dump that would occur if a packet was sent with no |
1600 | options. | |
1601 | ||
754ae3e9 TL |
1602 | Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 14 |
1603 | ||
1604 | - Finish fixing a long-standing bug in the agent options code. This | |
1605 | was causing core dumps and failing to operate correctly - in | |
1606 | particular, agent option stashing wasn't working. Agent option | |
1607 | stashing should now be working, meaning that agent options can be | |
1608 | used in class statements to control address allocation. | |
1609 | ||
1610 | - Fix up documentation. | |
1611 | ||
1612 | - Fix a couple of small memory leaks that would have added up | |
1613 | significantly in a high-demand situation. | |
1614 | ||
1615 | - Add a log-facility configuration parameter. | |
1616 | ||
1617 | - Fix a compile error on some older operating systems. | |
1618 | ||
1619 | - Add the ability in the client to execute certain statements before | |
1620 | transmitting packets to the server. Handy for debugging; not much | |
1621 | practical use otherwise. | |
1622 | ||
1623 | - Don't send faked-out giaddr when renewing or bound - again, useful | |
1624 | for debugging. | |
1625 | ||
2f2e7960 TL |
1626 | Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 13 |
1627 | ||
1628 | - Fixed a problem where the fqdn decoder would sometimes try to store | |
1629 | an option with an (unsigned) negative length, resulting in a core | |
1630 | dump on some systems. | |
1631 | ||
1632 | - Work around the Win98 DHCP client, which NUL-terminates the FQDN | |
1633 | option. | |
1634 | ||
1635 | - Work around Win98 and Win2k clients that will claim they want to do | |
1636 | the update even when they don't have any way to do it. | |
1637 | ||
1638 | - Fix some log messages that can be printed when failover is operating | |
1639 | that were not printing enough information. | |
1640 | ||
1641 | - It was possible for a DHCPDISCOVER to get an allocation even when | |
1642 | the state machine said the server shouldn't be responding. | |
1643 | ||
1644 | - Don't load balance DHCPREQUESTs from clients in RENEWING and | |
1645 | REBINDING, since in RENEWING, if we heard it, it's for us, and in | |
1646 | REBINDING, the client wouldn't have got to REBINDING if its primary | |
1647 | were answering. | |
1648 | ||
1649 | - When we get a bogus state lease binding state transition, don't do | |
1650 | the transition. | |
1651 | ||
1652 | ||
66e98927 TL |
1653 | Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 12 |
1654 | ||
1655 | - Fixed a couple of silly compile errors. | |
1656 | ||
a1e2e3d6 TL |
1657 | Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 11 |
1658 | ||
1659 | - Albert Herranz tracked down and fixed a subtle bug in the base64 | |
1660 | decoder that would prevent any key with an 'x' in its base64 | |
1661 | representation from working correctly. | |
1662 | ||
1663 | - Thanks to Chris Cheney and Michael Sanders, we have a fix for the | |
1664 | hang that they both spotted in the DHCP server - when | |
1665 | one-lease-per-client was set, the code to release the "other" lease | |
1666 | could spin. | |
1667 | ||
1668 | - Fix a problem with alignment of the input buffer in bpf in cases | |
1669 | where two packets arrive in the same bpf read. | |
1670 | ||
1671 | - Fix a problem where the relay agent would crash if you specified an | |
1672 | interface name on the command line. | |
1673 | ||
1674 | - Add the ability to conditionalize client behaviour based on the | |
1675 | client state. | |
1676 | ||
1677 | - Add support for the FQDN option, and added support for a new way of | |
1678 | doing ddns updates (ddns update style interim) that allows more than | |
1679 | one DHCP server to update the DNS for the same network(s). This | |
1680 | was implemented by Damien Neil with some additional functionality | |
1681 | added by Ted Lemon. | |
1682 | ||
1683 | - Damien added a "log" statement, so that the configuration file can | |
1684 | be made to log debugging information and other information. | |
1685 | ||
1686 | - Fixed a bug that caused option buffers not to be terminated with an | |
1687 | end option. | |
1688 | ||
1689 | - Fixed a long-standing bug in the support for option spaces where the | |
1690 | options are stored as an ordered list rather than in a hash table, | |
1691 | which could theoretically result in memory pool corruption. | |
1692 | ||
1693 | - Prevent hardware declarations with no actual hardware address from | |
1694 | being written as something unparsable, and behave correctly in the | |
1695 | face of a null hardware address on input. | |
1696 | ||
1697 | - Allow key names to be FQDNs, and qualify the algorithm name if it is | |
1698 | specified unqualified. | |
1699 | ||
1700 | - Modify the DDNS update code so that it never prints the "resolver | |
1701 | failed" message, but instead says *why* the resolver failed. | |
1702 | ||
1703 | - Officially support the subnet selection option, which now has an | |
1704 | RFC. | |
1705 | ||
1706 | - Fix a build bug on MacOS X. | |
1707 | ||
1708 | - Allow administrator to disable ping checking. | |
1709 | ||
1710 | - Clean up dhcpd.conf documentation and add more information about how | |
1711 | it works. | |
1712 | ||
6c68ec36 TL |
1713 | Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 10 |
1714 | ||
1715 | - Fix a bug introduced during debugging (!) and accidentally committed | |
1716 | to CVS. | |
1717 | ||
9fd337e7 TL |
1718 | Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 9 |
1719 | ||
1720 | - Fix DHCP client handling of vendor encapsulated options. | |
1721 | ||
1722 | - Fix a bug in the handling of relay agent information options introduced | |
1723 | in patchlevel 9. | |
1724 | ||
1725 | - Stash agent options on client leases by default, and use the stashed | |
1726 | options at renewal time. | |
1727 | ||
1728 | - Add the ability to test the client's binding state in the client | |
1729 | configuration language. | |
1730 | ||
1731 | - Fix a core dump in the DNS update code. | |
1732 | ||
1733 | - Fix some expression evaluation bugs that were causing updates to be | |
1734 | done when no client hostname was received. | |
1735 | ||
1736 | - Fix expression evaluation debugging printfs. | |
1737 | ||
1738 | - Teach pretty_print_option to print options in option spaces other than | |
1739 | the DHCP option space. | |
1740 | ||
1741 | - Add a warning message if the RHS of a not is not boolean. | |
1742 | ||
1743 | - Never select for more than a day, because some implementations of | |
1744 | select will just fail if the timeout is too long (!). | |
1745 | ||
1746 | - Fix a case where a DHCPDISCOVER from an unknown network would be | |
1747 | silently dropped. | |
1748 | ||
1749 | - Fix a bug where if a client requested an IP address for which a different | |
1750 | client had the lease, the DHCP server would reallocate it anyway. | |
1751 | ||
1752 | - Fix the DNS update code so that if the client changes its name, the DNS | |
1753 | will be correctly updated. | |
1754 | ||
3922772a TL |
1755 | Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 8 |
1756 | ||
1757 | - Oops, there was another subtle math error in the header-length | |
1758 | bounds-checking. | |
1759 | ||
1760 | Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 7 | |
848c2547 TL |
1761 | |
1762 | - Oops, forgot to byte-swap udp header length before bounds-checking it. | |
1763 | ||
3922772a | 1764 | Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 6 |
0f6045f8 | 1765 | |
f8572308 TL |
1766 | - Fix a possible DoS attack where a client could cause the checksummer |
1767 | to dump core. This was a read, not a write, so it shouldn't be | |
1768 | possible to exploit it any further than that. | |
1769 | ||
1770 | - Implement client- and server-side support for using the Client FQDN | |
1771 | option. | |
1772 | ||
1773 | - Support for other option spaces in the client has been added. This | |
1774 | means that it is now possible to define a vendor option space on the | |
1775 | client, request options in that space from the server (which must | |
1776 | define the same option space), and then use those options in the | |
1777 | client. This also allows NWIP and Client FQDN options to be used | |
1778 | meaningfully. | |
1779 | ||
1780 | - Add object initializer support. This means that objects can now be | |
1781 | initialized to something other than all-zeros when allocated, which | |
1782 | makes, e.g., the interface object support code a little more robust. | |
1783 | ||
1784 | - Fix an off-by-one bug in the host stuffer. This was causing host | |
1785 | deletes not the work, and may also have been causing OMAPI | |
1786 | connections to get dropped. Thanks to James Brister for tracking | |
1787 | this one down! | |
1788 | ||
1789 | - Fixed a core dump in the interface discovery code that is triggered | |
1790 | when there is no subnet declaration for an interface, but the server | |
1791 | decides to continue running. Thanks to Shane Kerr for tracking | |
1792 | down and fixing this problem. | |

1810 | ||
1811 | - Fix SunOS4 and (maybe) Ultrix builds. | |
1812 | ||
1813 | - Fix a bug where a certain sort of incoming packet could cause a core | |
1814 | dump on Solaris (and probably elsewhere). | |
1815 | ||
1816 | - Add some more safety checks in error logging code. | |
1817 | ||
1818 | - Add support for ISC_R_INCOMPLETE in OMAPI protocol connection code. | |
1819 | ||
1820 | - Fix relay agent so that if an interface is specified on the command | |
1821 | line, the relay agent does not dump core. | |
1822 | ||
1823 | - Fix class matching so that match if can be combined with match or | |
1824 | spawn with. | |
1825 | ||
1826 | - Do not allow spurious leases in the lease database to introduce | |
1827 | potentially bogus leases into the in-memory database. | |
1828 | ||
1829 | - Fix a byte-order problem in the client hardware address type code | |
1830 | for OMAPI. | |
1831 | ||
1832 | - Be slightly less picky about what sort of hardware addresses OMAPI | |
1833 | can install in host declarations. | |

1835 | Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 4 |
1836 | ||
1837 | - Incorporated Peter Marschall's proposed change to array/record | |
1838 | parsing, which allows things like the slp-agent option to be encoded | |
1839 | correctly. Thanks very much to Peter for taking the initiative to | |
1840 | do this, and for doing such a careful job of it (e.g., updating the | |
1841 | comments)! | |
1842 | ||
1843 | - Added an encoding for the slp-agent option. :') | |
1844 | ||
6ed7a93d TL |
1845 | - Fixed SunOS 4 build. Thanks to Robert Elz for responding to my |
1846 | request for help on this with patches! | |
1847 | ||
1848 | - Incorporated a change that should fix a problem reported by Philippe | |
1849 | Jumelle where when the network connection between two servers is | |
1850 | lost, they never reconnect. | |
1851 | ||
1852 | - Fix client script files other than that for NetBSD to actually use | |
1853 | make_resolv_conf as documented in the manual page. | |
1854 | ||
1855 | - Fix a bug in the packet handling code that could result in a core | |
1856 | dump. | |
1857 | ||
1858 | - Fix a bug in the bootp code where responses on the local net would | |
1859 | be sent to the wrong MAC address. Thanks to Jerry Schave for | |
1860 | catching this one. | |
1861 | ||
490eb5e7 TL |
1862 | Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 3 |
1863 | ||
1864 | - In the DHCP client, execute client statements prior to using the values | |
1865 | of options, so that the client configuration can overried, e.g., the | |
1866 | lease renewal time. | |
1867 | ||
1868 | - Fix a reference counting error that would result in very reproducible | |
1869 | failures in updates, as well as occasional core dumps, if a zone was | |
1870 | declared without a key. | |
1871 | ||
1872 | - Fix some Linux 2.0 compilation problems. | |
1873 | ||
1874 | - Fix a bug in scope evaluation during execution of "on" statements that | |
1875 | caused values not to be recorded on leases. | |
1876 | ||
1877 | - If the dhcp-max-message-size option is specified in scope, and the | |
1878 | client didn't send this option, use the one specified in scope to | |
1879 | determine the maximum size of the response. | |

1881 | Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 2 |
1882 | ||

1883 | - Fix a case where spawning subclasses were being allocated |
1884 | incorrectly, resulting in a core dump. | |
1885 | ||
592d8153 TL |
1886 | - Fix a case where the DHCP server might inappropriately NAK a |
1887 | RENEWING client. | |
1888 | ||
1889 | - Fix a place dhcprequest() where static leases could leak. | |
1890 | ||
1891 | - Include memory.h in omapip_p.h so that we don't get warnings about | |
1892 | using memcmp(). | |
1893 | ||
2aa36519 TL |
1894 | Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 1 |
1895 | ||
1896 | - Notice when SIOCFIGCONF returns more data than fit in the buffer - | |
1897 | allocate a larger buffer, and retry. Thanks to Greg Fausak for | |
1898 | pointing this out. | |
1899 | ||
1900 | - In the server, if no interfaces were configured, report an error and | |
1901 | exit. | |
1902 | ||
1903 | - Don't ever record a state of 'startup'. | |
1904 | ||
1905 | - Don't try to evaluate the local failover binding address if none was | |
1906 | specified. Thanks to Joseph Breu for finding this. |
