3d53b2f2 31 Changes since 4.4.2-P1 (New Features)
397b2947 32
e180ae07
SG
33- Two new OMAPI function calls were added, `dhcpctl_timed_connect()`
34 and `dhcpctl_timed_wait_for_completion()`. These provide timed
e69d9b5b
WW
35 versions of creating a connection and waiting for an operation
36 to complete.
e180ae07 37 [GitLab #76]
e69d9b5b 38
e180ae07 39- The BIND libraries have been updated to the latest version, 9.11.36. This fixes a number
83c52925
TM
40 of compilation issues on various systems, including OpenWRT. Thanks to
41 Philip Prindeville for testing on OpenWRT.
e180ae07 42 [GitLab #218, #171, #180, #192]
29254896 43
e180ae07 44- Support was added for the new DHCPv4 option v6-only-preferred, specified
83c52925
TM
45 in RFC 8925. A new reason code, V6ONLY, was added to the client script
46 and the client Linux script sample was updated.
e180ae07 47 [GitLab #132]
397b2947 48
3d53b2f2 49 Changes since 4.4.2-P1 (Bug Fixes)
6c7e6157 50
e180ae07
SG
51- Minor corrections were made to allow compilation under gcc 10.
52 [GitLab #117]
6c7e6157 53
e180ae07
SG
54- The logic in dhclient that causes it to decline DHCPv4 leases if the
55 client script exits abnormally (i.e. crashes) has been corrected.
56 [GitLab #123]
33e51761 57
e180ae07 58- The limit on the size of a lease file that can be loaded at startup
2e914d00 59 is now only enforced on 32-bit systems.
e180ae07 60 [GitLab #92]
2e914d00 61
83c52925
TM
62- The PRNG initialization has been improved. It now uses the configure flag
63 `--with-randomdev=PATH`, which specifies the device from which to read the
64 initial seed. That is typically `/dev/random` (the default value) or
e180ae07 65 `/dev/urandom`, but may be specified otherwise on the local system. The old
83c52925
TM
66 behavior can be forced by disabling this feature (`--with-randomdev=no`).
67 If the initialization is disabled or reading from the random device fails,
68 the previous algorithm (retrieve the last four bytes of hardware addresses
69 from all network interfaces that have them, and use the current time and
70 process ID) is used.
e180ae07 71 [GitLab #197]
629a4524 72
e180ae07
SG
73- A minor dhclient code fix was made to remove compilation warnings.
74 [GitLab #190]
0c03eaef 75
e180ae07
SG
76- The hard-coded MD5 algorithm name was removed in OMAPI connection logic.
77 Previously, using any other algorithm via a key-algorithm statement would
78 allow OMAPI connections to be made, but subsequent actions such as updating
79 an object would fail.
80 [GitLab #148]
7de26fe7 81
9ea5696d
TM
82- The parallel build has been improved. Thanks to Sergei Trofimovich for
83 the patch. The parallel build is still experimental, as officially the
e180ae07
SG
84 BIND 9 code does not support the parallel build for libraries.
85 [GitLab #91]
9ea5696d 86
e180ae07
SG
87- Handling of LDAP options (`ldap-gssapi-principal` and `ldap-gssapi-keytab`)
88 has been improved. This is contributed code that has not been tested by ISC. Thank
0427f30d 89 you to Petr Mensik and Pavel Zhukov for the patches!
e180ae07 90 [GitLab !56,!75]
0427f30d 91
e180ae07
SG
92- It is now possible to use `option -g ipaddr` in the dhcrelay to replace the giaddr sent to
93 clients with the given ipaddr, to work around bogus clients like Solaris 11
94 grub which use giaddr instead of the announced router (3) to set up their
b5fafe12 95 default route. Thanks to Jens Elkner for the patch!
e180ae07 96 [GitLab #223, !86, !92]
b5fafe12 97
3d53b2f2
TM
98 Changes since 4.4.2 (Bug Fixes)
99
100- Corrected a buffer overwrite possible when parsing hexadecimal
101 literals with more than 1024 octets.
102 [Gitlab #182]
103 CVE: CVE-2021-25217
104
4ad524bd 105 Changes since 4.4.2b1 (Bug Fixes)
e4b6b033
TM
106
107- Added a clarification on DHCPINFORMs and server authority to
108 dhcpd.conf.5
109 [Gitlab #37]
110
5c23b618
TM
111- Only emit lease scrubbing log messages when DEBUG_FAILOVER_MESSAGES
112 is defined.
113 [Gitlab #72]
114
4ad524bd
TM
115- Added the interface name to socket initialization failure log messages.
116 Prior to this the log messages stated only the error reason without
117 stating the target interface.
118 [Gitlab #75]
119
bba906f6 120- Corrected buffer pointer logic in dhcrelay functions that manipulate
afb66401
TM
121 agent relay options. Thanks to Thomas Imbert of MSRC Vulnerabilities
122 & Mitigations for reporting the issue.
83c52925 123 [Gitlab #71]
bba906f6 124
39788b3d
TM
125- Corrected unresolved symbol errors building relay_unittests when
126 configured to build using libtool.
83c52925 127 [Gitlab #80]
39788b3d 128
cce04313 129 Changes since 4.4.1 (New Features)
a5b21e16
TM
130
131- A new configuration parameter, ping-cltt-secs (v4 operation only), has
132 been added to allow the user to specify the number of seconds that must
133 elapse since CLTT before a ping check is conducted. Prior to this, the
0cd94b5e 134 value was hard coded at 60 seconds. Please see the server man pages for
a5b21e16
TM
135 a more detailed discussion.
136 [ISC-Bugs #36283]
cce04313 137
cb89a691
TM
138- A new configuration parameter, ping-timeout-ms (v4 operation only),
139 has been added that allows the user to specify the amount of time
140 the server waits for a ping-check response in milliseconds rather
141 than in seconds (via ping-timeout). When greater than zero, the value
142 of ping-timeout-ms will override the value of ping-timeout. Thanks
143 to Jay Doran from Bluecat Networks for suggesting this feature.
0cd94b5e 144 [Gitlab #10]
cb89a691 145
2ca63671
TM
146- An experimental tool called, Keama (KEA Migration Assistant), which helps
147 translate ISC DHCP configurations to Kea configurations, is now included
148 in the distribution.
149 [Gitlab #34]
150
cce04313
TM
151 Changes since 4.4.1 (Bug Fixes)
152
153- Corrected a misuse of the BIND9 DDNS API which caused DDNS updates to be
154 carried out over TCP rather than UDP. The coding error was exposed by
155 migration to BIND9 9.11. Thanks to Jinmei Tatuya at Infoblox for
156 reporting the issue.
157 [ISC-Bugs #47757]
158
c07eb442
TM
159- Bind9 now defaults to requiring python to build. The Makefile for
160 building Bind9 when bundled with ISC DHCP was modified to turn off
161 this dependency.
0cd94b5e 162 [Gitlab #3]
9ef78585
TM
163
164- Corrected a dual-stack mixed-mode issue that occurs when both
165 ddns-guard-id-must-match and ddns-other-guard-is-dynamic
166 are enabled and that caused the server to incorrectly interpret
167 the presence of a guard record belonging to another client as
168 a case of no guard record at all. Thanks to Fernando Soto
169 from BlueCat Networks for reporting this issue.
0cd94b5e 170 [Gitlab #1]
c07eb442 171
1c779d3b
TM
172- Corrected a compilation issue that occurred when building without DNS
173 update ability (e.g. by undefining NSUPDATE).
0cd94b5e 174 [Gitlab #16]
1c779d3b 175
fce94f06
TM
176- Corrected an issue that was causing the server, when running in
177 DHPCv4 mode, to segfault when class lease limits are reached.
dfcbe359
TM
178 Thanks to Peter Nagy at Porion-Digital for reporting the matter
179 and submitting a patch.
0cd94b5e 180 [Gitlab #13]
fce94f06 181
753d458b 182- Made minor changes to eliminate warnings when compiled with GCC 9.
71277027 183 Thanks to Brett Neumeier for bringing the matter to our attention.
0cd94b5e
TM
184 [Gitlab #15]
185
186- Fixed potential memory leaks in parser error message generation
187 spotted by Coverity, CIDs: 1448191, 1448193, 1448194, 1448195
188 [Gitlab #30]
189
190- Updated URL of IEEE oui.txt in contrib/dhcp-lease-list.pl. Thanks
191 to Tommy Smith for contributing the patch.
192 [Gitlab #26]
193
194- Fixed define flags when using SO_BINDTODEVICE. Thanks to Joe LeVeque for
195 reporting the issue.
196 [GitLab #19]
197
198- Applied a patch from OpenBSD to always set the scope id of outbound
199 DHPCv6 packets. Note this change only applies when compiling under
200 OpenBSD. Thanks to Brad Smith at OpenBSD from bringing it to our
201 attention.
202 [Gitlab #33]
203
204- Modified dhclient to not discard config file leases that are
205 duplicates of server-provided leases and to retain such leases
206 after they have been used as the fallback active lease and
207 DHCP service has been restored. This allows them to be used
82e0ea57 208 more than once during the lifetime of a dhclient instance.
0cd94b5e
TM
209 This applies to DHCPv4 operation only.
210 [Gitlab #9]
211
212- Corrected a number of reference counter and zero-length buffer leaks.
afb66401
TM
213 Thanks to Christopher Ertl of MSRC Vulnerabilities & Mitigations for
214 pointing them out.
0cd94b5e
TM
215 [Gitlab #57]
216
217- Closed a small window of time between the installation of graceful
218 shutdown signal handlers and application context startup, during which
219 the receipt of shutdown signal would cause a REQUIRE() assertion to
220 occur. Note this issue is only visible when compiling with
221 ENABLE_GENTLE_SHUTDOWN defined.
222 [Gitlab #53]
223
224- Corrected a buffer overflow that can occur when retrieving zone
225 names that are more than 255 characters in length.
226 [Gitlab #20]
227
228- The "d" domain name option format was incorrectly handled as text
229 instead of RFC 1035 wire format. Thanks to Jay Doran at BlueCat Networks
230 for reporting this issue.
231 [Gitlab #2]
232
233- Improved the error message issued when a host declaration has both
234 a uid and a dhcp-client-identifier. Server configuration parsing will
235 now fail if a host declaration specifies more than one uid.
236 [Gitlab #7]
753d458b 237
4adcee93
TM
238- Updated developer's documentation on building and running unit tests.
239 Removed support for --with-atf=bind as BIND9 no longer bundles in ATF
240 source.
241 [Gitlab #35]
242
83175640
TM
243- Fixed a syntax error in ldap.c which cropped up under Ubuntu
244 18.04.1/gcc 7.4.0. Thanks to Charles Hedrick for pointing it out.
245 [Gitlab #51]
246
2661204d
TM
247- Added clarification to dhcp-options.5 section on ip-address values
248 describing the first-use DNS resolution of options with hostnames as
249 values (e.g. next-server).
250 [Gitlab #28]
251
9a2f9db5
TM
252- The option format for the server option omapi-key was changed to a
253 format type 'k' (key name); while server options ldap-port and
254 ldap-init-retry were changed to 'L' (unsigned 32-bit integer). These
255 three options were inadvertantly broken when the 'd' format content
256 was changed to comply with RFC 1035 wire format (see Gitlab #2).
257 [Gitlab #68]
258
cce04313

259 Changes since 4.4.0 (New Features)
260- none
cce04313 261 Changes since 4.4.0 (Bug Fixes)
6826003b
TM
262
263- A delayed-ack value of 0 (the default), now correctly disables the delayed
264 feature. A change in 4.4.0 prohibited lease updates marking leases active
265 from be written to the lease file when delayed-ack is 0. This in turn,
266 caused servers to lose active lease assignments upon restart.
267 [ISC-Bugs #47141]
268
197b26f2
TM
269! Option reference count was not correctly decremented in error path
270 when parsing buffer for options. Reported by Felix Wilhelm, Google
271 Security Team.
272 [ISC-Bugs #47140]
c5931725
TM
273 CVE: CVE-2018-5733
274
275! Corrected an issue where large sized 'X/x' format options were causing
276 option handling logic to overwrite memory when expanding them to human
277 readable form. Reported by Felix Wilhelm, Google Security Team.
278 [ISC-Bugs #47139]
279 CVE: CVE-2018-5732
197b26f2 280
d5118758
TM
281- Added use of new Bind9 compatibility header files, that are now necessary
282 to supply type definitions for primitive data types, removed from Bind9
283 proper. Altered util/bind.sh to pull from Bind9 repo on gitlab.
284 [ISC-Bugs #48072]
285 [ISC-Bugs #48071]
286
d394b602
TM
287 Changes since 4.4.0b1 (New Features)
288
289- Duplicate address detection when binding to a new IPv6 address was added
290 to the following dhclient scripts: linux,freebsd,netbsd,openbsd, and macos.
291 The scripts will check for DAD errors after binding to a new IPv6 address
292 for at most --dad-wait-time seconds. If a DAD error is detected the script
293 will exit with a value of 3, instructing dhclient to decline the address. If
294 dad-wait-time is zero (the default), DAD error checking is not peformed.
295 [ISC-Bugs 46805]
296
efd3b1e2
TM
297- Support for sending and receiving additional DHCP4 options has been added
298 to both the dhcpd and dhclient. Specifically: option codes 93,94, and 97
299 (RFC 4578); code 150 (RFC 5859); and codes 209,219, and 211 (RFC 5071).
300 Beyond configuring, sending, requesting, and receiving these options neither
301 server nor client apply any additional logic based on their values.
302 Thanks to Peter Lewis for requesting this change.
303 [ISC-Bugs 47062]
304
d638452e
TM
305 Changes since 4.4.0b1 (Bug Fixes)
306
307- Added clarifying text to dhcpd.conf.5 explaining the class match expressions
308 cannot rely on the results of executable statements.
309 [ISC-Bugs #45451]
310
db4e4aa2
TM
311- Fixed a bug which causes dhcpd and dhclient to crash on certain
312 systems when given relative path names for lease or pid files on
313 the command line. Affected systems are those on which the C library
314 function, realpath() does not support a second parameter value of
315 NULL (see manpages for realpath(3)).
316 [ISC-Bugs #46957]
317
b94669fa
TM
318- Fixed a build issue when building with embedded BIND9 under OpenBSD that
319 was causing BIND9 build to not generate dns/enumclass.h and dns/enumtype.h.
320 [ISC-Bugs #46971]
321
de964f22
TM
322- Added <dhcp>/m4/README to the distribution tarball. Some versions of
323 ac_local() treat the absence of the m4 subdirectory as error rather than
324 warning. This was causing the call to autoreconf, necessary for building
325 with libtool, to fail.
326 [ISC-Bugs #47075]
327
4aa6129a 328 Changes since 4.4.0a1 (New Features)
7512d88b 329
4aa6129a
TM
330- Added experimental support for relay port (draft-ietf-dhc-relay-port-10.txt)
331 feature for DHCPv4, DHCPv6 and DHCPv4-over-DHCPv6. Relay port has to be
332 enabled at compile time via --enable-relay-port and is fully backward
333 compatible (i.e. works with previous implementations of servers and relays
334 using the standard ports). A new --rp <relay-port> command line option
335 specifies to dhcrelay an alternate source port for upstream (i.e. toward
336 the server) messages. Thanks to Naiming Shen and Enke Chen of Cisco
337 systems for submitting these patches.
338 [ISC-Bugs #44535]
339
340- Added --release-on-roam to dhcpd server. When enabled and the server detects
341 that a DHCPv6 client (IAID+DUID) has roamed to a new network, it will release
342 the pre-existing leases on the old network and emit a log statement similar
343 to the following:
344
345 "Client: <id> roamed to new network, releasing lease: <address>"
346
347 The server will carry out all of the same steps that would normally occur
348 when a client explicitly releases a lease. This behavior is disabled by
349 default and may only be specified globally. Prior to this the server renders
350 the leases unavailable until they expire or the server is restarted. Clients
351 that need leases in multiple networks must supply a unique IAID in each IA.
352 When release-on-roam is disabled (the default) the server maintains the
353 prior behavior of making such leases unavailable until they expire or the
354 server is restarted. Clients that need leases in multiple networks must
355 supply a unique IAID in each IA. This parameter may only be specified at
356 the global level. Thanks to Fernando Soto from BlueCat Networks for
357 suggesting this change.
358 [ISC-Bugs #44576]
359 [ISC-Bugs #46849]
360
361- Support for delayed-ack is now compiled in by default. Prior to this
362 it had to be enabled at compile time via --enable-delayed-acks. The
363 default value for delayed-ack, however, has been changed from 28 to 0
364 (i.e. disabled). This was done to minimize the impact on users not
365 currently using the feature. Please note that the delayed-ack feature
366 is not currently compatible with support for DHPCv4-over-DHCPv6 so
367 when a 4to6 port command line argument enables this in the server the
368 delayed-ack value is reset to 0.
369 [ISC-Bugs #42446]
370
371- The server (-6) now honors the parameter, update-static-leases, for static
372 (fixed-address6) DHCPv6 leases. It is worth noting that because stateful
373 data is not retained by the server for static leases, each time a client
374 requests or renews a static lease, the server will perform DDNS updates for
375 it. This may have significant performance implications for environments
376 with many clients that request or renew static leases often. Similarly,
377 the DNS entries will not be removed by server when a client issues a RELEASE
378 nor if the lease is deleted from the configuration. In such cases the DNS
379 entries must be removed manually. This feature is disabled by default.
380 Thanks to both Bill Shirley and dgutier-at-cern-dot-ch for requesting
381 this change.
382 [ISC-Bugs #34097]
383 [ISC-Bugs #41054]
384 [ISC-Bugs #41450]
385
386- Added to the server (-6) a new statement, local-address6, which specifies
387 the source address of packets sent by the server. An additional flag,
388 bind-local-address6, disabled by default, binds the service socket to
389 to local-address6. Note that bind-local-address does not work with direct
390 clients: a relay has to forward packets to the server using the
391 local-address6 destination.
392 [ISC-Bugs #46084]
393
394 Changes since 4.4.0a1 (Bugs)
395
396- The server now recognizes environment variables PATH_DHCPD_DB and
397 PATH_DHCPD_PID. These had been incorrectly compiled out of the code
398 unless DHCPv6 support was disabled. Additionally, the server man
399 pages were corrected to accurately reflect how the server chooses
400 file names (see lease-file-name and pid-file-name statements). Thanks
7932503f

401 to Fernando Soto at Bluecat Networks for bringing this matter to our
402 attention.

TM
403 [ISC-Bugs #46859]
404
405- Removed an "Impossible condition" error upon exit in the dhcpd server that
406 has been shutdown via OMAPI. This condition was only apparent under Solaris
407 when building with --enable-use-sockets and --enable-ipv4-pktinfo.
408 [ISC-Bugs #36118]
409
65eed5c1 410- Corrected some minor Coverity issues: CID 1426059, 1426058, and 1426057.

499- Replaced compilation option, enable-secs-byteorder, with a run-time, server
500 configuration parameter, check-secs-byte-order. When enabled, the
501 server will check for clients that do the byte ordering on the secs field
502 incorrectly. This field should be in network byte order but some clients
503 get it wrong. When this parameter is enabled the server will examine the
504 secs field and if it looks wrong (high byte non zero and low byte zero) swap
505 the bytes. The default is disabled. This parameter is only useful when
506 doing load balancing within failover.

518- Added support for 'dhcp-cache-threshold' to IPv6 operation: If a client
519 renews before 'dhcp-cache-threshold' percent of its lease has elapsed
520 (default 25%), the server will reuse the allocated lease (provide a
521 lease within the currently allocated lease-time) rather than extend or
522 renew the lease. This allows the server to reply without needlessly
523 writing leases to disk. The preferred and valid lease lifetimes
524 sent to the client will be reduced by the age of the lease. The option
525 may be specified down to the pool level and is supported for all three
526 pool types: NA, TA, and PD.

140612c8 554- Changed the default value of the prefix length passed by dhclient into the

556 with RFC3315bis draft (-09, page 64) and RFC5942, Section 4, point 1.
557 In addition, dhclient now supports a command line argument,
558 --address-prefix-len, which may be used to override the default value.
559 **WARNING**: This change may not be backwardly compatible with your
560 environment. If you are operating without a router, such as between VMs on
561 a host, you may find they cannot see each with prefix length of 128. In
562 such cases, you'll need to either provide routing or use the command line
563 parameter to set the value to 64. Alternatively you may change the default
564 at compile time by setting DHCLIENT_DEFAULT_PREFIX_LEN in includes/site.h.

705 in seconds, that the client process should wait for the duplicate address
706 detection to complete before initiating DHCP requests. This value is
707 propagated to the dhclient script and the script is responsible for waiting
708 the specified amount of time or until DAD has completed. If the script does
709 not support it, specifying this parameter has no effect. The default value
710 is 0 which specifies that the script should not wait for DAD. With this

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

1094- The server now does a better check to see if it can allocate the memory
1095 for large blocks of v4 leases and should provide a slightly better error
1096 message. Note well: the server pre-allocates v4 addresses, if you use
1097 a large range, such as a /8, the server will attempt to use a large
1098 amount of memory and may not start if there either isn't enough memory
1099 or the size exceeds what the code supports.

1102- The server will now reject unicast Request, Renew, Decline, and Release
1103 messages from a client unless the server would have sent that client the
1104 dhcp6.unicast option. This behavior is in compliance with paragraph 1 in
1105 each of the sections 18.2,1, 18.2.3, 18.2.6, and 18.2.7 of RFC 3315. Prior
1106 to this, the server would simply accept the messages. Now, in order for
1107 the server to accept such a message, the server configuration must include
1108 the dhcp6.unicast option either globally or within the shared network to
1109 which the requested lease belongs. In other words, the server will map
1110 the first IA_XX address found within the client message to a shared-network
1111 and look for the presence of the unicast option there and then globally.

1180- Corrected an issue in v6 lease file parsing. Prior to this, when encountering
1181 a lease with an address for which no configured pool exists, the server was
1182 declaring the lease file corrupt and incorrectly skipping over the subsequent
1183 entry in the file. The server will now emit a log message indicating that
1184 no pool was found for the address (or prefix) and correctly resume parsing
1185 with the next entry in the lease file. Our thanks to Michal Žejdl for
1186 reporting the issue.
1187 [ISC-Bugs #39314]
1188
1189- Be more liberal in finding a subnet group associated with a static
1190 prefix. When we added the class matching code for v6 we also added
1191 a requirement that the static prefix must be within a subnet the
1192 client was in, in order to find the proper statements. We now
1193 look for a subnet based on the prefix, failing that on the static
1194 address for the client and failing that on the shared network
1195 itself.
1196 [ISC-Bugs #38329]
1197
1198- Add a new action expression "parse_vendor_options", which can be used
1199 to parse a vendor-encapsualted-option received by the server based on
1200 the encoding specified by the vendor-option-space statement.
1201 [ISC-Bugs #36449]

1208- Relax the requirement that prefix pools must be within the subnet.
1209 This was added in as part of #32453 in order to avoid configuration

1211 within the same subnet and many people configure them in that fashion.

1246- Handle an out of memory condition in the client a bit better.
1247 Thanks to Frédéric Perrin from Brocade for finding the issue
1248 and suggesting a patch.

1250
1251 Changes since 4.3.2rc2
1252- None
1253
1254 Changes since 4.3.2rc1
1255
1256- Corrected a compilation error introduced by the fix for ISC-Bugs #37415.
1257 The error occurs on Linux variants that do not support VLAN tag information
1258 in packet auxiliary data. The configure script now only enables inclusion
1259 of the VLAN tag-based logic if it is supported by the underlying OS.
1260 [ISC-Bugs #38677]
1261
1262 Changes since 4.3.2b1
1263
1264- Specifying the option, --disable-debug, on the configure script command line
1265 now disables debug features. Prior to this, specifying --disable-debug
1266 incorrectly enabled debug features. Thanks to Gustavo Zacarias for reporting
1267 the issue.
1268 [ISC-Bugs #37780]
1269
1270- Unit test execution now uses a path augmented during configuration
1271 processing of the --with-atf option to locate ATF runtime tools, atf-run
1272 and atf-report. For most installations of ATF, this should alleviate the
1273 need to manually include them in the PATH, as was formerly required.
1274 If the configure script cannot locate the tools it will emit a warning,
1275 informing the user that the tools must be in the PATH when running unit
1276 tests.
1277 Secondly, please note that "make check" will now exit with a failure status
1278 code (non-zero) if one or more unit tests fail. This means that invoking
1279 "make check" from an upper level directory will cause the make process to
1280 STOP after the first test subdirectory with failed test(s). To force all
1281 tests in all subdirectories to run, regardless of individual test outcome,
1282 use the command "make -k check".
1283 [ISC-Bugs #38619]
1284
1285 Changes since 4.3.1
1286
1287- Corrected parser's right brace matching when a statement contains an error.
1288 [ISC-Bugs #36021]
1289
1290- TSIG-authenticated dynamic DNS updates now support the use of these
1291 additional algorithms: hmac-sha1, hmac-sha224, hmac-sha256, hmac-sha384,
1292 and hmac-sha512
1293 [ISC-Bugs #36947]
1294
1295- Added check for invalid failover message type. Thanks to Tobias Stoeckmann
1296 working with the OpenBSD project who spotted the issue and provided the
1297 patch.
1298 [ISC-Bugs #36653]
1299
1300- Corrected rate limiting checks for bad packet logging. Thanks to Tobias
1301 Stoeckmann working with the OpenBSD project who spotted the issue and
1302 provided the patch.
1303 [ISC-Bugs #36897]
1304
1305- Log statements depicting what files will be used by the server now occur
1306 after the configuration file has been processed.
1307 [ISC-Bugs #36671]
1308
1309- Addressed Coverity issues reported as of 07-31-2014:
1310 [ISC-Bugs #36712] Corrects Coverity reported "high" impact issues.
1311 [ISC-Bugs #36933] Corrects Coverity reported "medium" impact issues
1312 [ISC-Bugs #37708] Fixes compilation error in dst_api.c seen in older
1313 compilers that was introduced by #36712
1314
1315- Server now supports a failover split value of 256.
1316 [ISC-Bugs] #36664]
1317
1318- Remove unneeded error #defines. These defines were included in case
1319 external programs required the older versions of the macro. They
1320 have been #ifdeffed for now and will be removed at a future date.
1321 See site.h for the #define to include them again, but you should
1322 switch to using the DHCP_R_* versions instead of the ISC_R_* versions.
1323 Also ISC_R_MULTIPLE has been removed as it is also defined in bind.
1324 [ISC-Bugs #37128]
1325
1326- Added checks in range6 and prefix6 statement parsing to ensure addresses
1327 are within the declared subnet. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the
1328 bug report and patch.

1332 [ISC-Bugs #23698]
1333 [ISC-Bugs #28883]
1334
1335- Addressed checksum issues:
1336 Added checksum readiness check to Linux packet filtering which eliminates
1337 invalid packet drops due to checksum errors when checksum offloading is
1338 in use. Based on dhcp-4.2.2-xen-checksum.patch made to the Fedora project.
1339 [ISC-Bugs #22806]
1340 [ISC-Bugs #15902]
1341 [ISC-Bugs #17739]
1342 [ISC-Bugs #18010]
1343 [ISC-Bugs #22556]
1344 [ISC-Bugs #29769]
1345 Inbound packets with UDP checksums of 0xffff now validate correctly rather
1346 than being dropped.
1347 [ISC-Bugs #24216]
1348 [ISC-Bugs #25587]
1349
1350- Added the echo-client-id configuration parameter to the server configuration.
1351 The server now supports RFC 6842 compliant behavior by setting a new
1352 configuration parameter, echo-client-id. When enabled, the server will
1353 include the client identifier option (Option code 61) if received, in its
1354 responses. The server identifier returned in NAKs (if enabled) will now
1355 be the globally defined value (if one) if the server cannot attribute the
1356 inbound request to a known subnet.
1357 [ISC-Bugs #35958]
1358 [ISC-Bugs #32545]
1359
1360- Added support of the configuration parameter, use-host-decl-names, to
1361 BOOTP request handling.
1362 [ISC-Bugs #36233]
1363
1364- Added logic to ignore the signal, SIGPIPE, which ensures write failures
1365 will be delivered as errors rather than as SIGPIPE signals on all OSs.
1366 Thanks to Marius Tomaschewski from SUSE who reported the issue and provided
1367 the patch upon which the fix is based.
1368 [ISC-Bugs #32222]
1369
1370- In the failover code, handle the case of communications being interrupted
1371 when the servers are dealing with POTENTIAL-CONFLICT. This patch allows
1372 the primary to accept the secondary moving from POTENTIAL-CONFLICT to
1373 RESOLUTION-INTERRUPTED as well as handling the bind update process better.
1374 In addition the code to resend update or update all requests has been
1375 modified to send requests more often.
1376 [ISC-Bugs #36810]
1377 [ISC-Bugs #20352]
1378
1379- By default, the server will now choose the value to use in the forward DNS
1380 name from the following in order of preference:
1381
1382 1. FQDN option if provided by the client
1383 2. Host name option if provided by the client
1384 3. Configured option host-name if defined
1385
1386 As before, this may be overridden by defining ddns-hostname to the desired
1387 value (or expression). In addition, the server logic has been extended to
1388 use the value of the host name declaration if use-host-decl-names is enabled
1389 and no other value is available.
1390 [ISC-Bugs #21323]
1391
1392- DNS updates were being attempted when dhcp-cache-threshold enabled the use of
1393 the existing lease and the forward DNS name had not changed. This has been
1394 corrected.
1395 [ISC-Bugs #37368]
1396 [ISC-Bugs #38636]
1397
1398- Corrected an issue which caused dhclient to incorrectly form the result when
1399 prepending or appending to the IPv4 domain-search option, received from the
1400 server, when either of the values being combined contain compressed
1401 components.
1402 [ISC-Bugs #20558]
1403
1404- Added the server-id-check parameter to the server configuration.
1405 This parameter allows run-time control over whether or not a server,
1406 participating in failover, verifies the dhcp-server-identifier option in
1407 DHCP REQUESTs against the server's id before processing the request.
1408 Formerly, enabling this behavior was done at compilation time through
1409 the use of the #define, SERVER_ID_CHECK, which has been removed from site.h
1410 The functionality is now only available through the new runtime parameter.
1411 [ISC-Bugs #37551]
1412
1413- During startup, when the server encounters a lease whose binding state is
1414 FTS_BACKUP but whose pool has no configured failover peer, it will reset the
1415 lease's binding state to FTS_FREE. This allows the leases to be reclaimed
1416 by the server after a pool's configuration has changed from failover to
1417 standalone. Prior to this such leases would remain stuck in the backup state
1418 making them unavailable for assignment. Note this conversion will occur
1419 whether or not the server is compiled for failover.
1420 [ISC-Bugs #36960]
1421
1422- Fixed a small issue in the treatment of hosts in the inform processing
1423 that could cause the response to an inform to include information from
1424 the wrong scope. The two examples we've heard of are getting subnet
1425 instead of group information associated with a host entry, or getting
1426 global information instead of subnet if the host entry was built via
1427 omapi. Thanks to Julien Soula at University of Lille for finding the
1428 bug and supplying a patch.
1429 [ISC-Bugs #35712]
1430
1431- Avoid calling pool_timer() recursively from supersede_lease(). This could
1432 result in leases changing state incorrectly or delaying the running of the
1433 leae expiration code.
1434 [ISC-Bugs #38002]
1435
1436- Move the check for a PID file and process to be before we rewrite the
1437 lease file. This avoids the possibility of starting a second instance
1438 of a server which changes the current lease file confusing the first
1439 instance. This check is only included if the admin hasn't disabled PID
1440 files.
1441 [ISC-Bugs #38078]
1442 [ISC-Bugs #38143]
1443
1444- In the client code change the way preferred_life and max_life are printed
1445 for environment variables to be unsigned rather than signed.
1446 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the bug report and patch.
1447 [ISC-Bugs #37084]
1448
1449- Modified Linux packet handling such that packets received via VLAN are now
1450 seen only by the VLAN interface. Prior to this, such packets were seen by
1451 both the VLAN interface and its parent (physical) interface, causing the
1452 server to respond to both. Note this remains an issue for non-Linux OSs.
1453 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the patch.
1454 [ISC-Bugs #37415]
1455 [ISC-Bugs #37133]
1456 [ISC-Bugs #36668]
1457 [ISC-Bugs #36652]
1458
1459- Log content has been changed to more directly suggest that admins should
1460 check for multiple IPv6 clients attempting to use the same DUID when only
1461 abandoned addresses are available. Debug level logging will now emit counts
1462 of the total number of, in-use, and abandoned addresses in a shared subnet
1463 when the server finds no addresses available for a given DUID. Lastly,
1464 threshold logging is now automatically disabled for shared subnets whose
1465 total number of possible addresses exceeds (2^64)-1.
1466 [ISC-Bugs #26376]
1467 [ISC-Bugs #38131]
1468
1469- Added a global parameter, prefix-length-mode, which may be used to determine
1470 how the server uses a non-zero value for prefix-length supplied by clients
1471 when soliciting DHCPv6 prefixes. The server supports selection modes of:
1472 ignore, prefer, exact, minimum and maximum which are described in detail in
1473 the server man pages. The prior behavior of the server was to only offer a
1474 prefix whose length exactly matched the prefix-length value requested. If
1475 no such prefixes were available, the server returned a status of none
1476 available. Note the default mode, "exact", provides this same behavior.
1477 [ISC-Bugs #36780]
1478 [ISC-Bugs #32228]
1479
1480- Corrected inconsistencies in dhcrelay's setting the upper interface hop count
1481 limit such that it now sets it to 32 when the upstream address is a multicast
1482 address per RFC 3315 Section 20. Prior to this if the -u argument preceded
1483 the -l argument on the command line or if the same interface was specified
1484 for both; the logic to set the hop limit count for the upper interface was
1485 skipped. This caused the hop count limit to be set to the default value
1486 (typically 1) in the outbound upstream packets.
1487 [ISC-Bugs #37426]
1488
1489 Changes since 4.3.1b1
1490
1491- Modify the linux and openwrt dhclient scripts to process information
1492 from a stateless request. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the
1493 bug report and patch.

1496- Remove more unused RCSID tags. These weren't noticed in 4.3 as
1497 the code isn't used anymore but we remove them here to keep the
1498 code consistent across versions.

1565 [ISC-Bugs #29772]
1566 Add the next server information to the environment variables for
1567 use by the client script. In order to avoid changing the client
1568 lease file the next server information isn't written to it.
1569 Thanks to Tomas Hozza at Red Hat for the suggestion and a prototype fix.

TM
1588- Add a #define to specify the prefix length used when a client attempts
1589 to configure an address. This can be modified by editing includes/site.h.
1590 By default it is set to 64. While 128 might be a better choice it would
1591 also be a change for currently running systems, so we have left it at 64.
1592 [ISC-Bugs #DHCP-2]
9b7d458d 1593
0e76cb91
TM
1594- Add a run time option to the client "-df" to allow the administrator to
1595 point to a second lease file the client can search for a DUID. This can
1596 be used to allow a v4 and a v6 instance of the client to share a DUID.
1597 The second file will only be searched if there isn't a DUID in the main
1598 lease file and the DUID will be written out to the main lease file.

1649- If a client renews before 'dhcp-cache-threshold' percent of its lease
1650 has elapsed (default 25%), the server will reuse the allocated lease
1651 (provide a lease within the currently allocated lease-time) rather
1652 than extend or renew the lease. This absolves the server of needing
1653 to perform an fsync() operation on the lease database before reply,
1654 which improves performance. [ISC-Bugs #22228]
80778e94 1655 Updated this patch to support asynchronous DDNS. If the server is
adb95d23 1656 attempting to do DDNS on a lease it should be updated and written to
4809ef5c 1657 disk even if that wouldn't be necessary due to the thresholding.

1683- Update the DDNS code to current standards and allow for sharing
1684 of DDNS entries between v4 and v6 clients. The new code is used
1685 if the ddns-update-style is set to "standard", the older code is
1686 still available if ddns-update-style is set to "interim". The
1687 oldest DDNS code "ad-hoc" has been removed. Thanks to Thomas Pegeot

SR
1692- Add a configuration option to the server to suppress using fsync().
1693 Enabling this option will mean that fsync() is never called. This
1694 may provide better performance but there is also a risk that a lease
1695 will not be properly written to the disk after it has been issued
1696 to a client and before the server stops. Using this option is
1697 not recommended.

1700- Add some logging statements to indicate when the server is ready
1701 to serve. One statement is emitted after the server has finished
1702 reading its files and is about to enter the dispatch loop.
1703 This is "Server starting service.".
1704 The second is emitted when a server determines that both it and
1705 its failover peer are in the normal state.

1719 some functionality that was lost in the transition to asynchronous
1720 DDNS. Due to the lack of security and increase in fragility of the

01a44a77
SR
1765- An optimization described in the failover protocol draft is now included,
1766 which permits a DHCP server operating in communications-interrupted state
1767 to 'rewind' a lease to the state most recently transmitted to its peer,
1768 greatly increasing a server's endurance in communications-interrupted.
1769 This is supported using a new 'rewind state' record on the dhcpd.leases
1770 entry for each lease.

1777- When constructing the DNS name structure from a text string append
1778 the root to relative names. This satisfies a requirement in the DNS
1779 library that names be absolute instead of relative and prevents DHCP

1782- "The LDAP Patch" that has been circulating for some time, written by
1783 Brian Masney and S.Kalyanasundraram and maintained for application to
1784 the DHCP-4 sources by David Cantrell has been included. Please be
1785 advised that these sources were contributed, and do not yet meet the
1786 high standards we place on production sources we include by default.
1787 As a result, the LDAP features are only included by using a compile-time
1788 option which defaults off, and if you enable it you do so under your
1789 own recognizance. We will be improving this software over time.

1809 previously allocated (active) lease to a client that has changed subnets,

2026- 'dhclient' no longer waits a random interval after first starting up to
2027 begin in the INIT state. This conforms to RFC 2131, but elects not to
9a111ee8 2028 implement a 'SHOULD' direction in section 4.1. The goal of this change
73c83820 2029 is to start up faster. [ISC-Bugs #19660]
9a111ee8
TM
2030
2031- Added 'initial-delay' parameter that specifies maximum amount of time
2032 before client goes to the INIT state. The default value is 0. In previous
2033 versions of the code client could wait up to 5 seconds. The old behavior
5d082abd 2034 may be restored by using 'initial-delay 5;' in the client config file.

2036
2037- ICMP ping-check should now sit closer to precisely the number of seconds
2038 configured (or default 1), due to making use of the new microsecond
2039 scale timer internally to dhcpd. This corrects a bug where the server
2040 may immediately timeout an ICMP ping-check if it was made late in the
73c83820 2041 current second. [ISC-Bugs #19660]
5d082abd
TM
2042
2043- The DHCP client will schedule renewal and rebinding events in
2044 microseconds if the DHCP server provided a lease-time that would result
2045 in sub-1-second timers. This corrects a bug where a 2-second or lower
2046 lease-time would cause the DHCP client to enter an infinite loop by
73c83820 2047 scheduling renewal at zero seconds. [ISC-Bugs #19660]
5d082abd
TM
2048
2049- Client lease records are recorded at most once every 15 seconds. This
2050 keeps the client from filling the lease database disk quickly on very small
73c83820 2051 lease times. [ISC-Bugs #19660]
5d082abd
TM
2052
2053- To defend against RFC 2131 non-compliant DHCP servers which fail to
2054 advertise a lease-time (either mangled, or zero in value) the DHCP
2055 client now adds the server to the reject list ACL and returns to INIT
2056 state to hopefully find an RFC 2131 compliant server (or retry in INIT
73c83820 2057 forever). [ISC-Bugs #19660]

2067- The DHCP server now responds to DHCPLEASEQUERY messages from agents using
2068 IP addresses not covered by a subnet in configuration. Whether or not to
2069 respond to such an agent is still governed by the 'allow leasequery;'
2070 configuration parameter, in the case of an agent not covered by a configured
2071 subnet the root configuration area is examined. Server now also returns
2072 vendor-class-id option, if client sent it. [ISC-Bugs #21094]

2291! Previously the server code was relaxed to allow packets with zero
2292 length client ids to be processed. Under some situations use of
2293 zero length client ids can cause the server to go into an infinite
2294 loop. As such ids are not valid according to RFC 2132 section 9.14
2295 the server no longer accepts them. Client ids with a length of 1
2296 are also invalid but the server still accepts them in order to
2297 minimize disruption. The restriction will likely be tightened in
2298 the future to disallow ids with a length of 1.

2461- Failover port configuration can now be left to defaults (port 647) as
2462 described in the -12 revision of the Failover draft (and assigned by
4b97eaff 2463 IANA). Thanks in part to a patch from David Cantrell at Red Hat.

DH
2474- A new failover configuration parameter has been introduced for those
2475 environments where DHCP servers can be reasonably guaranteed to be
2476 "down" when the failover TCP socket is severed, "auto-partner-down".
2477 This parameter is not generally safe, and by default is disabled, so
2478 please carefully review the documentation of this parameter in the
2479 dhcpd.conf(5) manpage before determining to use it yourself.
2480
33ea4622
DH
2481- Added a configuration function, 'gethostname()', which calls the system
2482 function of the same name and presents the results as a data expression.
2483 This function can be used to incorporate the system level hostname of
2484 the system the DHCP software is operating on in responses or queries (such
2485 as including a failover partner's hostname in a dhcp message or binding
2486 scope, or having a DHCP client send any system hostname in the host-name or
2487 FQDN options by default).
2488
5a671e87
DH
2489- The dhcp-renewal-time and dhcp-rebinding-time options may now be configured
2490 for DHCPv4 operation and used independently of the dhcp-lease-time
2491 calculations. Invalid renew and rebinding times (e.g., greater than the
2492 determined lease time) are omitted.
2493
adb95d23 2494- Processing the DHCP to DNS server transactions in an asynchronous fashion,
45adf35c 2495 the DHCP server or client can now continue with its processing while
98bf1607 2496 awaiting replies from the DNS server.

2508- The notorious 'option <unknown> ... larger than buffer' log line,
2509 which is seen in some malformed DHCP client packets, was modified.
2510 It now logs the universe name, and does not log the length values
2511 (which are bogus corruption read from the packet anyway). It also
2512 carries a hopefully more useful explanation.

f9453d21
DH
2540- A bug in DLPI packet transmission (Solaris, HP/UX) that caused the server
2541 to stop receiving packets is fixed. The same fix also means that the MAC
2542 address will no longer appear 'bogus' on DLPI-based systems.
2543
2544- A bug in select handling was discovered where the results of one select()
2545 call were discarded, causing the server to process the next select() call
2546 and use more system calls than required. This has been repaired - the
2547 sockets will be handled after the first return from select(), resulting in
2548 fewer system calls.
2549
a3dcc0b1
DH
2550- The update-conflict-detection feature would leave an FQDN updated without
2551 a DHCID (still currently implemented as a TXT RR). This would cause later
2552 expiration or release events to fail to remove the domain name. The feature
2553 now also inserts the client's up to date DHCID record, so records may safely
2554 be removed at expiration or release time. Thanks to a patch submitted by
2555 Christof Chen.
2556
95fd7038
DH
2557- Memory leak in the load_balance_mine() function is fixed. This would
2558 leak ~20-30 octets per DHCPDISCOVER packet while failover was in use
2559 and in normal state.

PS
2564- Fixed Linux client script 'unary operator expected' errors with DHCPv6.

2568 override hostnames 'localhost' and '(none)'.

2573- Compilation on Solaris with USE_SOCKETS defined in includes/site.h has
2574 been repaired. Other USE_ overrides should work better.
2575
2576- A check for the local flavor of IFNAMSIZ had a broken 'else' condition,
2577 that probably still resulted in the correct behaviour (but wouldn't use
2578 a larger defined value provided by the host OS).
2579

DH
2580- Fixed a bug where an OMAPI socket disconnection message would not result
2581 in scheduling a failover reconnection, if the link had not negotiated a
2582 failover connect yet (e.g.: connection refused, asynch socket connect()
2583 timeouts).

2588! A stack overflow vulnerability was fixed in dhclient that could allow
2589 remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands as root on the system,

2597 supported. Note that, similarly to 3.0.x, for by-code lookups only the
2598 last option definition is used.

b8d45c67
DH
2607- Secondary servers in a failover pair will now perform ddns removals if
2608 they had performed ddns updates on a lease that is expiring, or was
2609 released through the primary. As part of the same fix, stale binding scopes
2610 will now be removed if a change in identity of a lease's active client is
2611 detected, rather than simply if a lease is noticed to have expired (which it
2612 may have expired without a failover server noticing in some situations).
2613
583c1c16
DH
2614- A patch supplied by David Cantrell at RedHat was applied that detects
2615 invalid calling parameters given to the ns_name_ntop() function.
2616 Specifically, it detects if the caller passed a pointer and size pair
2617 that causes the pointer to integer-wrap past zero.
2618
e4e3a2ab
DH
2619! Fixed a fenceposting bug when a client had two host records configured,
2620 one using 'uid' and the other using 'hardware ethernet'. CVE-2009-1892
95f5d38c 2621

2623 the existence of the linked signal handler before calling it.
2624
2267da84
DH
2625- Both host and subnet6 configuration groups are now included whether a
2626 fixed-address6 (DHCPv6) is in use or not. Host scoped configuration takes
2627 precedence. This fixes two bugs, one where host scoped configuration
2628 would not be included from a non-fixed-address6 host record, and the equal
2629 and opposite bug where subnet6 scoped configuration would not be used when
571c38b0 2630 over-riding values were not present in a matching fixed-address6 host
2267da84
DH
2631 configuration.

2633- ./configure now checks to ensure the intX_t and u_intX_t types are defined,
2634 correcting a compilation failure when using Sun's compiler.
2635
0493fdca
SR
2636- Modified the handling of a connection to avoid releasing the omapi io
2637 object for the connection while it is still in use. One symptom from
2638 this error was a segfault when a failover secondary attempted to connect
2639 to the failover primary if their clocks were not synchronized.
2640
95bba8b6
SR
2641- Clean up to allow compilation with gcc 2.95.4 on FreeBSD. Remove an
2642 extra semi-colon from common/dns.c and moved setting a variable to NULL
2643 in server/dhcpv6.c to allow the compiler to decide that the variable
9a111ee8 2644 was always properly set.

2673 in future releases.

2681- DDNS removal routines were updated so that the DHCID is not removed until
2682 the client has been deprived of all A and AAAA records (not only the last
2683 one of either of those). This resolves a bug where dual stack clients
2684 would not be able to regain their names after either expiration event.

DH
2750- A bug in subnet6 parsing where options contained in subnet6 clauses would
2751 not be applied to clients addressed within that network was repaired.
2752
2753- When configuring a "subnet {}" or "subnet6 {}" without an explicit
2754 shared-network enclosing it, the DHCP software would synthesize a
2755 shared-network to contain the subnet. However, all configuration
2756 parameters within the subnet more intuitively belong "to any client
2757 on that interface", or rather the synthesized shared-network. So,
2758 when a shared-network is synthesized, it is used to contain the
2759 configuration present inside the subnet {} clause. This means that
2760 the configuration will be valid for all clients on that network, not
2761 just those addressed out of the stated subnet. If you intended the
2762 opposite, the workaround is to explicitly configure an empty
2763 shared-network.
2764
2765- A bug was fixed where Information-Request processing was not sourcing
2766 configured option values.
2767
2768- A warning was added since the DHCPv6 processing software does not yet
2769 support class statements.

2778
2779- The relay agent no longer listens to the All DHCP Servers Multicast
2780 address.
2781
2782- A bug was fixed in data_string_sprintfa() where va_start was only called
2783 once for two invocations of vsprintf() variants.
2784
d104d45b
DH
2785- ERO (RFC 4994) server support.
2786
2787- Basic and partial DHCPv6 leasequery support.
2788
2789- Reliable DHCPv6 release (previous behavior, send release and exit, is
2790 still available with dhclient -6 -1 -r).
2791
01a54c17 2792 Changes since 4.0.0 (new features)
3c12f746 2793
6d7f9584
FD
2794- Added DHCPv6 rapid commit support.
2795
4cafb815 2796- Added explicit parser support for zero-length DHCP options, such as
6d7f9584 2797 rapid-commit, via format code 'Z'.
4cafb815 2798
022fe95e
EH
2799- It's now possible to update the "ends" field of a lease with OMAPI.
2800 This is useful if you want not only to release a lease, but also make
2801 it available for reuse right away. Hat tip to Christof Chen.
2802
9a111ee8 2803- Fixed definition of the iaaddr hash functions to use the correct
1dcc3612
SK
2804 functions when referencing and dereferencing memory.
2805
aabfa4de
FD
2806- Some definitions not in phase with the IANA registry were updated.
2807
0674055a
FD
2808- Allocated interface IDs are better controlled ('u' bit set to zero,
2809 reserved IDs avoided).
2810
b51c785f
FD
2811- Unicast options are taken into account only for RENEWs.
2812
900405e9
FD
2813- NoAddrsAvail answers to SOLICITs are always ADVERTISEs even when a SOLICIT
2814 carries a rapid-commit option.
2815
96b620e5
FD
2816- Return in place of raise an impossible condition when one tries to release
2817 an empty active lease.
2818
be62cf06
FD
2819- Timer granularity is now 1/100s in the DHCPv6 client.
2820
01a54c17
EH
2821- The dhclient-script was updated to create a host route for the default
2822 gateway if the supplied subnet mask for an IPv4 address was a /32. This
2823 allows the client to work in 'captive' network environments, where the
2824 operator does not want clients to crosstalk directly.
2825
adb95d23 2826- MINUS tokens should be parsable again.
01a54c17
EH
2827
2828- Multiple (up to "delayed-ack x;" maximum) DHCPv4 packets are now queued and
2829 released in bursts after single fsync() events when the upper limit is
2830 reached or if the receiving sockets go dry. The practical upshot is
2831 that fsync-coupled server performance is now multiplicitively increased.
2832 The default delayed ack limit is 28. Thanks entirely to a patch from
2833 Christof Chen.
2834
2835 Changes since 4.0.0 (bug fixes)
2836
2837- DHCP now builds on AIX.
2838
2839- Exit with warning when DHCPv6-specific statements are used in the
2840 config file but -6 is not specified.
2841
2842- Fixed "--version" flag in dhcrelay
2843
2844- The 'min-secs' configuration parameter's log message has been updated to
2845 be more helpful.
2846
2847- The warning logged when an address range doesn't fit in the subnets
2848 they were declared has been updated to be more helpful and identify the
2849 typo in configuration that created the spanning addresses.
2850
2851- A bug in failover pool rebalancing that caused POOLREQ message ping-pongs
2852 was repaired.
2853
2854- A flaw in failover pool rebalancing that could cause POOLREQ messages to
2855 be sent outside of the min-balance/max-balance scheduled intervals has
2856 been repaired.
2857
2858- A cosmetic bug during potential-conflict recovery that caused the peer's
2859 'conflict-done' state message to be logged as 'unknown-state' has been
2860 repaired. It is now logged correctly.
2861
49f61135
DH
2862- A bug was fixed where the 'giaddr' may be used to find the client's subnet
2863 rather than its own 'ciaddr'.
2864
41d4652f
DH
2865- A log message was introduced to clarify the situation where a failover
2866 'address' parameter (the server's local address) did not resolve to an
2867 IPv4 address.
2868
2c9bf1f4
DH
2869- The minimum site code value was set to 224 in 3.1.0 to track RFC3942. This
2870 broke a lot of legacy site local configurations. The new code in place will
2871 track site local space minimum option codes and logs a warning to encourage
2872 updates and exploration of site local code migration problems. Option
2873 codes less than 128 in site local spaces remain inaccessible.
2874
2875- A possible relay agent option bug was repaired where random server
2876 initialization state may have been used to signal the relay agent
2877 information options sub-option code for the 'END' of the option space.
2878
cff9b78f
SK
2879- Fixes to allow code to compile and run on Solaris 9.
2880
c4d29896
SK
2881- Fixes to allow code to compile on Mac OS X Leopard (10.5).
2882
57fcb8d9
SK
2883- When server is configured with options that it overrides, a warning is
2884 issued when the configuration file is read, rather than at the time the
2885 option is overridden. This was important, because the warning was given
9a111ee8 2886 every time the option was overridden, which could create a lot of
57fcb8d9
SK
2887 unnecessary logging.
2888
219a65eb
DH
2889- Fixed a compilation problems on platforms that define a value for FDDI,
2890 which conflicts with a dhcp configuration syntax token by the same name.
2891
ffdf3c8c
DH
2892- When a failover server suspects it has encountered a peer running a
2893 version 3.0.x failover server, a warning that the failover wire protocol
2894 is incompatible is printed.
2895
2896- The failover server no longer issues a floating point error if it encounters
2897 a previously undefined option code.
2898
00a002fc
MA
2899- Fix startup error messages to report a missing "subnet6 declaration", rather
2900 than a missing "subnet declaration", when running as a DHCPv6 server.
2901
9a111ee8 2902- DHCPv6 client timestamp in DUID was based on the year 1970 rather
7e9f7a1b
FD
2903 than the year 2000.
2904
e2cfde76
FD
2905- Warn when attempting to use a hardware parameter in DHCPv6.
2906
cabdb9b1
FD
2907- DHCPv6 released resources are now marked as released by the client.
2908
5d89d60f
FD
2909- 'Soft' bindings have no more side-effects.
2910
61d75ea2
DH
2911 Changes since 4.0.0b3
2912
2913- The reverse dns name for PTR updates on IPv6 addresses has been fixed to
2914 use ip6.arpa. rather than default to in-addr.arpa and require user
2915 configuration.
76db44f9 2916
e32529a5
EH
2917- dhc6_lease_destroy() and dhc6_ia_destroy() now set lease and IA pointers
2918 to NULL after freeing, to prevent subsequent accesses to freed memory.
2919
9a111ee8 2920- The DHCPv6 server would not send the preference option unless the
76db44f9
SK
2921 client requested it, via the ORO. This has been fixed, so the DHCPv6
2922 server will always send the preference value if it is configured.
e4a6be15 2923
9a111ee8
TM
2924- When addresses were passed as hints to the server in an IA, they were
2925 incorrectly handled, sometimes being treated as an error. Now the
6f76de58
SK
2926 server will treat these as hints and ignore them if it cannot supply
2927 a requested address.
2928
703873ab
DH
2929- If the client had multiple addresses, and one expired (was not renewed
2930 by the server), the client would continue to attempt to renew the same
2931 old address over and over. Now, the client will omit any expired
2932 addresses from future Confirm, Renew, or Rebind messages.
2933
2934- dhclient -6 will now select renew/rebind timers based upon the longest
2935 address expiration time rather than the shortest expiration time, in
2936 order to avoid cascading renewals in the event a server elects not to
2937 extend one of multiple IAADDR leases.
2938
b024480e
DH
2939- The server now limits clients that request multiple addresses to one
2940 address per IA by default, which can be adjusted through the
2941 "limit-addrs-per-ia" configuration option.
2942
c0216cb7
DH
2943- The DHCPv6 client now issues fresh transaction IDs on Renew and Rebind
2944 message exchanges, rather than using the most recent ID.
2945
1ac57173
FD
2946- The DHCPv6 server now replies to Information-Request messages.
2947
83835822
DH
2948- A bug was fixed in the dhclient-script for BSDs to correctly carry error
2949 codes through some conditions.
2950
c54db708
FD
2951- The parsing of some options in the dhclient lease file, in particular
2952 the success DHCPv6 status-code, was fixed.
2953
e5d83524
DH
2954- A bug was fixed that caused the DHCPv6 ORO option to be corrupted with
2955 seemingly random values.
2956
821f2dda
DH
2957- A reference overleak in DHCPv6 shared network processing was repaired.
2958
f8b3c6f4
DH
2959- ./configure now autodetects local database locations rather than trying
2960 to put dhcpd.leases and dhclient.leases in /usr/local/var/db, which no
2961 one ever has.
2962
9a111ee8
TM
2963- Regression fix for bug where server advertised a IPv6 address in
2964 response to a SOLICIT but would not return the address in response
b9137d42
SK
2965 to a REQUEST.
2966
9f1d5a2f
DH
2967- A bug was fixed where the DHCPv6 server puts the NoAddrsAvail status
2968 code in the IA_NA was fixed. The status code now appears in the root
2969 level.
2970
e4a6be15
DH
2971 Changes since 4.0.0b2
2972
65cf86d7
EH
2973- Clarified error message when lease limit exceeded
2974
b1d3778c
DH
2975- Relative time may now be used as a qualifier for 'allow' and 'deny' access
2976 control lists. These directives may be used to assist in re-addressing
2977 address pools without having to constantly reconfigure the server. Please
2978 see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more information on allow/deny 'after time' syntax.
2979 Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen.
2980
bead14ea
DH
2981- The server will now include multiple IA_NA's and multiple IAADDRs within
2982 them, if advertised by the client. It still only seeks to allocate one
2983 new address.
2984
f765ec36
SK
2985 Changes since 4.0.0b1
2986
75135a3f 2987- Use different paths for PID and lease files when running in DHCPv4
adb95d23 2988 or DHCPv6 mode, so that servers for both protocols can be run
75135a3f
EH
2989 simultaneously on a single interface.
2990
5c2d55c7
EH
2991- Fixed a buffer overflow error which could have allowed a denial
2992 of service under unusual server configurations
2993
2994- Eliminated a spurious error message from the client
2995
9a111ee8 2996- A number of bugs with the internal handling of lease state on the
f765ec36 2997 server have been fixed. Some of these could cause server crashes.
fa9b593d 2998
edb1283e
DH
2999- The peer_wants_leases() changes pulled up from 3.1.0 were corrected,
3000 'never used' leases will no longer consistently shift between servers
3001 on every pool rebalance run.
3002
c71c6399
DH
3003- sendmsg()/recvmsg() control buffers are now declared in such a way to
3004 ensure they are correctly aligned on all (esp. 64-bit) architectures.
3005
5279b8f3
DH
3006- The client leasing subsystem was streamlined and corrected to account
3007 more closely for changes in client link attachment selection.
3008
ab3a540f 3009 Changes since 4.0.0a3
763cba6b 3010
9a111ee8 3011- The DHCP server no longer requires a "ddns-update-style" statement,
884a458f
SK
3012 and now defaults to "none", which means DNS updates are disabled.
3013
fa9b593d
DH
3014- Log messages when failover peer names mismatch have been improved to
3015 point out the problem.
3016
9a111ee8 3017- Bug where server advertised a IPv6 address in response to a SOLICIT
1b5053b5
SK
3018 but would not return the address in response to a REQUEST. Thanks to
3019 Dennis Kou for finding the bug.
3020
c886c298
SK
3021- Fixed an error causing the server to lock up on lease expiration,
3022 reported independently by Jothilingam Vasu and Dennis Kou.
3023
eaf7eb17
DH
3024- Fixed a ./configure bug where compile tests were failing due to
3025 "-Werror" (unused variable) rather than the actual test failure. Lead
3026 to inconsistent and unworkable auto-configurations.
3027
109e00db
DH
3028- Compilation with DLPI and -Werror has been repaired.
3029
9a111ee8 3030- Error in decoding IA_NA option if multiple interfaces are present
3ad9d48f
SK
3031 fixed by Marcus Goller.
3032
8eab95f2
DH
3033- DHCPv6 server Confirm message processing has been enhanced - it no
3034 longer replies only to clients with host {} records, it now replies
3035 as directed in RFC3315 section 18.2.2 - that is, to all clients
3036 regardless of the existence of bindings.
3037
07b9a351
DH
3038- A core dump during expired lease cleanup has been repaired.
3039
7285af30
DH
3040- DDNS updates state information are now stored in 'binding scopes' that
3041 follow the leases through their lifecycles. This enables DDNS teardowns
3042 on leases that are assigned and expired inbetween a server restart (the
3043 state is recovered from dhcpd.leases). Arbitrary user-specified binding
3044 scopes ('set var = "value";') are not yet supported.

3064- An internal database inconsistency bug was repaired where the server
3065 would segfault if a client attempted to renew a lease that had been
3066 loaded from persistent storage.
3067
45d545f0 3068- 'request' and 'also request' syntaxes have been added to accommodate
0c20eab3
DH
3069 the DHCPv6 client configuration. 'send dhcp6.oro' is no longer
3070 necessary.
3071
9a111ee8
TM
3072- Bug fixed where configuration file parsing did not work with
3073 zero-length options; this made it impossible to set the
f800f4f6
SK
3074 rapid-commit option.

3133
3134- Include the more standard sys/uio.h rather than rely upon other
f66f02cc
DH
3135 header files to include it (fixes a BSD 4.2 compile failure).
3136
3137- Duplicate dhclient-script updates for DHCPv6 to all provided scripts.
a512d11b 3138
4ba58919
DH
3139- DHCPv4 I/O methods that failed to sense hardware address were corrected.
3140
3141- DHCPv4 is now the default (as documented) rather than DHCPv6. The default
3142 was set to DHCPv6 to facilitate ease early development, and forgotten.
3143
3144- Corrected a segmentation violation in DHCPv4 socket processing.
3145
8ea19a71 3146- dhclient will now fork() into the background once it binds to an
45d545f0 3147 IPv6 address, or immediately if the -n flag is supplied.
8ea19a71

DH
3158 Changes since 3.1.0 (NEW FEATURES)
3159
3160- DHCPv6 Client and Server protocol support. Use '-6' to run the daemons
3161 as v6-only. Use '-4' to run the daemons as v4-only (default. There is
3162 no support currently for both.
3163
3164- Server support for multiple IA_NA options, containing at most one
3165 IAADDR option.
3166
3167- Client support for one IA_NA option, containing any number of IAADDR
3168 options.
3169
3170- Server support for the DHCPv6 Information-request message.
3171
3172- Inappropriate unicast DHCPv6 messages sent to the server are now
3173 discarded, and this has rearchitected the IO system slightly.
3174
3175- The DHCPv6 server DUID defaults to type 1, is persistently stored in
3176 the leases database, and can be over-ridden (either completely, or by
3177 specifying type 1 or type 2).
3178
3179- The server only uses Rapid-Commit if it has been configured with the
3180 Rapid-Commit option and the client requests it.
3181
3182- DDNS support. We now update AAAA records in the same place we would
3183 update A records, if we have an IPv6 address. We also generate IP6.ARPA
3184 style names for PTR records if we're dealing with an IPv6 address. Both
3185 A and AAAA updates are done using the same 'fqdn.' virtual option space
3186 (although the DHCPv4 FQDN and DHCPv6 FQDN options are formatted
3187 differently, they both use the same code here).
3188
3189- The Linux dhclient-script attempts to set and remove assigned addresses,
3190 and to configure /etc/resolv.conf from nameserver and domain name
3191 configurations. It can be extended to configure other parameters.
3192
3193- Initial DHCPv6 lease support.
3194
3195- The IO system now tracks all local IP addresses, so that the DHCP
3196 applications (particularly the dhcrelay) can discern between what frames
3197 were transmitted to it, and what frames are being carried through it which
3198 it should not intercept.
3199

3203 mapped to the primary. Virgin leases now have an interleaved preference
3204 between primary and secondary.
3205
3206- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for clients with no client
3207 identifier was sometimes mishashed to the peer. Load balancing during
3208 runtime and pool rebalancing were opposing.
3209
aa3e348e
DH
3210- An assertion in lease counting relating to reserved leases was repaired.
3211
e9c59645
DH
3212- The subnet-mask option inclusion now conforms with RFC2132 section 3.3;
3213 it will only appear prior to the routers option if it is present on the
3214 Parameter-Request-List. The subnet-mask option will also only be
3215 included by default (if it is not on the PRL) in response to DISCOVER
3216 or REQUEST messages.
3217
3218- The FQDN option is only supplied if the client supplied an FQDN option or
3219 if the FQDN option was explicitly requested on the PRL.
3220
c104546d
DH
3221- Dynamic BOOTP leases are now load balanced in failover.
3222
b9d0cc05
DH
3223 Changes since 3.1.0rc1
3224
adb95d23 3225- The parse warning that 'deny dynamic bootp;' must be configured for
b9d0cc05
DH
3226 failover protected subnets was removed.
3227
a512cc3a
DH
3228 Changes since 3.1.0b2
3229
3230- Failover rebalance events no longer play ping pong with round errors
3231 (moving leases between free and back to backup where there are an
3232 odd number of leases).
3233
3234- The 'pool' log line has been split into two messages, one before the
3235 rebalance run, and one after.
3236
3237- Any queued BNDACKs are transmitted before transmitting new BNDUPDs.
3238 This enforces the correct sequence of events for the remote server
3239 processing these messages.
3240
fe5b0fdd 3241 Changes since 3.1.0b1
27837f95 3242
74dc3e0b
EH
3243- Fixed a bug that caused OMAPI clients to freeze when opening lease
3244 objects.
3245
1ba87b37
EH
3246- A new server config option "fqdn-reply" specifies whether the server
3247 should send out option 81 (FQDN). Defaults to "on". If set to "off",
3248 the FQDN option is not sent, even if the client requested it. This is
3249 needed because some clients misbehave otherwise. Thanks to Christof Chen
3250 at Allianz.
3251
a58da042
EH
3252- Allow trace output files (-tf option) to be overwritten, rather than
3253 crashing dhcpd if the file already exists
3254
61252edf
EH
3255- A bug was fixed that caused dhcpd to segfault if a pool was declared
3256 outside the scope of a subnet in dhcpd.conf.
3257
27837f95
DH
3258- Some uninitialized values were repaired in dhcpleasequery.c that
3259 caused the server to abort.
3260
4d2eaafb
DH
3261- A new server config option, 'do-reverse-updates', has been added
3262 which causes the server to abstain from performing updates on PTR
3263 records. Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen at Allianz.
3264
06211b40
DH
3265- A bug was repaired in subencapsulation support, where spaces separated
3266 by empty spaces would not get included.
3267
d6614ea2
DH
3268- A bug in dhclient was repaired which caused it to send parameter request
3269 lists of 55 bytes in length no matter how long the declared PRL was.
3270
132d38f2
DH
3271- 'dhcp.c(3953): non-null pointer' has been repaired. This fixes a flaw
3272 wherein the DHCPv4 server may ignore a configured server-identifier.
3273
fc3b9c90
DH
3274- A flaw in failover startup sequences was repaired that sometimes left
3275 the primary DHCP server's pool rebalance schedules unscheduled.
3276
c9feb859
DH
3277- Corrected a flaw that broke encapsulated spaces included due to presence
3278 on the parameter request list.

c57db45c
SK
3280 Changes since 3.1.0a3
3281
3282- Some spelling fixes.
98311e4b 3283
bd2bc2fa
DH
3284 Changes since 3.1.0a2
3285
3286- A bug was fixed where attempting to permit leasequeries results in a
3287 fatal internal error, "Unable to find server option 49".
3288
85edef5c
DH
3289- A bug was fixed in dhclient rendering the textual output form of the
3290 domain-search option syntax.
3291
bdddcb7d
DH
3292 Changes since 3.1.0a1
3293
3294- A bug in the FQDN universe that added FQDN codes to the NWIP universe's
3295 hash table was repaired.
3296
616d67cb
DH
3297- The servers now try harder to transmit pending binding updates when
3298 entering normal state.
3299
3300- UPDREQ/UPDREQALL handling was optimized - it no longer dequeues and
3301 requeues all pending updates. This should reduce the number of spurious
66c8f734
DH
3302 'xid mismatch' log messages.
3303
3304- An option definition referencing leak was fixed, which resulted in early
3305 termination of dhclient upon the renewal event.
616d67cb 3306
6708d944
DH
3307- Some default hash table sizes were tweaked, some upwards, some downwards.
3308 3.1.0a1's tables resulted in a reduction in default server memory use.
3309 The new selected values provide more of a zero sum (increasing the size
3310 of tables likely to be populated, decreasing the size of tables unlikely).
3311
45d545f0 3312- Lease structures appear in three separate hashes: by IP address, by UID,
6708d944
DH
3313 and by hardware address. One type of table was used for all three, and
3314 improvements to IP address hashing were applied to all three (so UID and
3315 hardware addresses were treated like 4-byte integers). There are now two
3316 types of tables, and the uid/hw hashes use functions more appropriate
3317 to their needs.
3318
3319- The max-lease-misbalance percentage no longer causes scheduled rebalance
3320 runs to be skipped: it still governs the schedule, but every scheduled
3321 run will attempt balance.
3322
a7ee93fe
DH
3323- A segfault bug in recursive encapsulation support has been corrected.
3324
98311e4b
DH
3325 Changes since 3.0 (New Features)
3326
3327- A workaround for certain STSN servers that send a mangled domain-name
3328 option was introduced for dhclient. The client will now accept corrupted
3329 server responses, if they contain a valid DHCP_MESSAGE_TYPE (OFFER, ACK,
3330 or NAK). The server will continue to not accept corrupt client packets.
3331
98bd7ca0 3332- Support for 'reserved' (pseudo-static) and BOOTP leases via failover
a55ccdd0 3333 was introduced.
98311e4b
DH
3334
3335- Support for adding, removing, and managing class and subclass statements
3336 via OMAPI.
3337
a55ccdd0
DH
3338- The failover implementation was updated to comply with revision 12 of
3339 the protocol draft.
3340
98311e4b
DH
3341- 'make install' now creates the initial zero-length dhcpd.leases file if
3342 one does not already exist on the system.
3343
b43c87ad 3344- RFC3942 compliance, site-local option spaces start at 224 now, not 128.
b43c87ad 3345
0b17f049
DH
3346- The Load Balance Algorithm was misimplemented. The current implementation
3347 matches RFC 3074.
3348
2727c1cf
DH
3349- lcase() and ucase() configuration expressions have been added which adjust
3350 their arguments from upper to lower and lower to upper cases respectively.
2714a8ef 3351 Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
2727c1cf 3352
febbd402
DH
3353- The dhclient 'reject ...;' statement, which rejects leases given by named
3354 server-identifiers, now permits address ranges to be specified in CIDR
7d7073e7 3355 notation. Thanks to a patch from David Boyce.
febbd402 3356
ee912528
DH
3357- The subnet-mask option is now supplied by default, but at lowest
3358 priority. This helps a small minority of clients that provide parameter
3359 request lists, but do not list the subnet-mask option because they were
3360 designed to interoperate with a server that behaves in this manner.
3361
3362- The FQDN option is similarly supplied even if it does not appear on the
3363 parameter request list, but not to the exclusion of options that do
3364 appear at the parameter request list. Up until now it had ultimate
3365 priority over the client's parameter request list.
3366
f7fdb216 3367- Varying option space code and length bit widths (8/16/32) are now
51202707 3368 supported. This is a milestone in achieving RFC 3925 "VIVSO" and
f7fdb216
DH
3369 DHCPv6 support.
3370
5e864416
DH
3371- A new common (server or client) option, 'db-time-format local;', has
3372 been added which prints the local time in /var/db/dhcpd.leases rather
3373 than UTC. Thanks to a patch from Ken Lalonde.
3374
b500bd4c
DH
3375- Some patches to improve DHCP Server startup speed from Andrew Matheson
3376 have been incorporated.
3377
2426234f
DH
3378- Failover pairs now implement 'MAC Affinity' on leases moving from the
3379 active to free states. Leases that belonged to the failover secondary
3380 are moved to BACKUP state rather than FREE upon exiting EXPIRED state.
3381 If lease rebalancing must move leases, it tries first to move leases
3382 that belong to the peer in need.
3383
3384- The server no longer sends POOLREQ messages unless the pool is severely
3385 misbalanced in the peer's favor (see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more details).
3386
3387- Pool rebalance events no longer happen upon successfully allocating a
3388 lease. Instead, they happen on a schedule. See 'man dhcpd.conf' for the
3389 min-balance and max-balance statements for more information.
3390
334bf491
DH
3391- The DHCP Relay Agent Information Option / Link Selection Sub-Option
3392 is now supported. (See RFC3527 for details).
3393
3004bebf
DH
3394- A new DDNS related server option, update-conflict-detection, has been
3395 added. If this option is enabled, dhcpd will perform normal DHCID
3396 conflict resolution (the default). If this option is disabled, it will
3397 instead trust the assigned name implicitly (removing any other bindings
3398 on that name). This option has not been made available in dhclient.
3399
567e8561
DH
3400- In those cases where the DHCP software manufactures an IP header (to
3401 transmit via bpf, lpf, etc), the IP TTL the software selects has been
3402 increased from 16 to 128. This is intended to match Microsoft Windows
3403 DHCP Client behaviour, to increase compatibility.
3404
a396d25f
DH
3405- 'ignore client-updates;' now has behaviour that is different from
3406 'deny client-updates;'. The client's request is not truly ignored,
3407 rather it is encouraged. Should this value be configured, the server
3408 updates DNS as though client-updates were set to 'deny'. That is, it
3409 enters into DNS whatever it is configured to do already, provided it is
3410 configured to. Then it sends a response to the client that lets the
3411 client believe it is performing client updates (which it will), probably
3412 for a different name. In essence, this lets the client do as it will,
3413 ignoring this aspect of their request.
3414
dba5803b
DH
3415- Support for compressed 'domain name list' style DHCP option contents, and
3416 in particular the domain search option (#119) was added.
3417
41e45067 3418- The DHCP LEASEQUERY protocol as defined in RFC4388 is now implemented.
6d103865
SK
3419 LEASEQUERY lets you query the DHCP server for information about a lease,
3420 using either an IP address, MAC address, or client identifier. Thanks
3421 to a patch from Justin Haddad.
3422
41e45067
DH
3423- DHCPD is now RFC2131 section 4.1 compliant (broadcast to all-ones ip and
3424 ethernet mac address) on the SCO platform specifically without any strange
3425 ifconfig hacks. Many thanks go to the Kroger Co. for donating the
3426 hardware and funding the development.
6d103865 3427
b543fea9
DH
3428- A new common configuration executable statement, execute(), has been
3429 added. This permits dhcpd or dhclient to execute a named external
3430 program with command line arguments specified from other configuration
3431 language. Thanks to a patch written by Mattias Ronnblom, gotten to us
3432 via Robin Breathe.
3433
b22de500
DH
3434- A new dhcp server option 'adaptive-lease-time-threshold' has been added
3435 which causes the server to substantially reduce lease-times if there are
3436 few (configured percentage) remaining leases. Thanks to a patch submitted
3437 from Christof Chen.
3438
96bbe8c5
SK
3439- Encapsulated option spaces within encapsulated option spaces is now
3440 formally supported.
3441
b8221d95
DH
3442 Changes since 3.0.6rc1
3443
3444- supersede_lease() now requeues leases in their respective hardware
3445 address hash bucket. This mirrors client identifier behaviour.
3446
c1e6c832
DH
3447 Changes since 3.0.5
3448
f546c28b
DH
3449- Assorted fixes for broken network devices: Packet length is now
3450 determined from the IP header length field to finally calculate the
3451 UDP payload length, because some NIC drivers return more data than
5a22eb63 3452 they actually received.
f546c28b
DH
3453
3454- UDP packets are now stored in aligned data structures.
3455
c1e6c832
DH
3456- A logic error in omapi interface code was repaired that might result in
3457 incorrectly indicating 'up' state when any flags were set, rather than
23e10d37
DH
3458 specifically the INTERFACE_REQUESTED flag. Thanks to a patch from
3459 Jochen Voss which got to us via Andrew Pollock at Debian.
c1e6c832 3460
75ab3070
DH
3461- A reference leak on binding scopes set by ddns updates was repaired.
3462
d69fb6a8 3463- A memory leak in the minires_nsendsigned() function call was repaired.
23e10d37 3464 Effectively, this leaked ~176 bytes per DDNS update.
d69fb6a8 3465
02428754
DH
3466- In the case where an "L2" DHCP Relay Agent (one that does not set giaddr)
3467 was directly attached to the same broadcast domain as the DHCP server,
3468 the RFC3046 relay agent information option was not being returned to the
3469 relay in the server's replies. This was fixed; the dhcp server no longer
3470 requires the giaddr to reply with relay agent information. Note that
3471 this also improves compatibility with L2 devices that "intercept" DHCP
3472 packets and expect relay agent information even in unicast (renewal)
23e10d37
DH
3473 replies. Thanks to a patch from Pekka Silvonen.
3474
3475- A bug was fixed where the BOOTP header 'sname' field had a value, the
3476 copy written to persistent storage was actually the contents of the
3477 'file' field.
02428754 3478
ecde99a3
DH
3479- A bug was fixed where the nwip virtual option space was referencing
3480 the fqdn option's virtual option space's option cache.
3481
67674ffb
DH
3482- Timestamp parsing errors that indicated missing "minutes" fields rather
3483 than the actually missing "seconds" fields have been repaired thanks to
3484 a patch from Kevin Steves.
3485
830ebc4c
DH
3486- A grammar error in the dhclient.8 manpage was repaired thanks to a patch
3487 from Chris Wagner.
3488
c759db75
DH
3489- Several spelling typos were repaired, and some cross-references to other
3490 relevant documents were included in the manpages, thanks to a patch
3491 by Andrew Pollock which got to us via Tomas Pospisek.
3492
9aa3f3a5
DH
3493- Some bugs were fixed in the 'emergency relay agent options hologram'
3494 which is used to retain relay agent option contents from when the
3495 client was in INIT or REBIND states. This should solve problems where
3496 relay agent options were not echoed from the server, even when giaddr
3497 was set.
3498
3d0c598a
DH
3499- dhclient now closes its descriptor to dhclient.leases prior to executing
3500 dhclient-script. Thanks to a patch from Tomas Pospisek.
3501
d5b6835f
DH
3502- The server's "by client-id" and "by hardware address" hash table lists
3503 are now sorted according to the preference to re-allocate that lease to
3504 returning clients. This should eliminate pool starvation problems
3505 arising when "INIT" clients were given new leases rather than presently
3506 active ones.
3507
02428754 3508 Changes since 3.0.5rc1
0a73b7b6 3509
901306d5 3510- A bug was repaired in fixes to the dhclient, which sought to run the
0a73b7b6
SK
3511 dhclient-script with the 'EXPIRE' state should it receive a NAK in
3512 response to a REQUEST. The client now iterates the PREINIT state
3513 after the EXPIRE state, so that interfaces that might be configured
3514 'down' can be brought back 'up' and initialized.
3515
87a08ccc
DH
3516- DHCPINFORM handling for clients that properly set ciaddr and come to the
3517 server via a relay aget has been repaired.
3518
6da113fb
DH
3519 Changes since 3.0.4
3520
3521- A warning that host statements declared within subnet or shared-network
3522 scopes are actually global has been added.
3523
3524- The default minimum lease time (if min-lease-time was not specified)
3525 was raised from 0 to 300. 0 is not thought to be sensible, and is
3526 known to be damaging.
3527
3528- Added additional fatal error sanity checks surrounding lease binding
3529 state count calculations (free/active counts used for failover pool
3530 balancing).
3531
dcc557db
DH
3532- Some time value size fixes in 3.0.4 brought on from FreeBSD /usr/ports were
3533 misapplied to server values rather than client values. The server no longer
3534 advertises 8-byte lease-time options when on 64-bit platforms.
3535
1b2ab55f
DH
3536- A bug where leases not in ACTIVE state would get billed to billed classes
3537 (classes with lease limitations) was fixed. Non-active leases OFFERed
3538 to clients are no longer billed (but billing is checked before offering).
3539
e48891e8
DH
3540- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated in regard to the ddns-domainname
3541 configuration option - the default configuration and results should be
3542 more clear now.
3543
6cbc6629
DH
3544- If the dhclient were to receive a DHCPNAK while it was in the RENEW
3545 state (and consequently, had an active, 'bound' address and related
3546 configuration options), it would fail to 'tear down' this information
3547 before proceeding into INIT state. dhclient now iterates the dhclient-
3548 script with the 'EXPIRE' action to cause these teardowns prior to entering
1d3bfb17 3549 INIT state. Thanks to a patch from Chris Zimmerman.
6cbc6629 3550
c5fec5fa
DH
3551- The omapi.1 manpage had some formatting errors repaired thanks to a patch
3552 from Yoshihiko Sarumaru.
3553
33e1cb2b
DH
3554- A few lines of code that were failover-specific were moved within
3555 #if defined() clauses so that compilation without failover could be
3556 made possible.
3557
2bddf829
DH
3558- The log message emitted when the 'leased-address' value was not available
3559 in dhcpd.conf "executable statements" has been updated to be more helpful.
3560 Manpage information for this value has also been updated.
3561
87578987
DH
3562- Abandoned or dissociated (err condition) leases now remove any related
3563 dynamic dns bindings. Thanks to a patch from Patrick Schoo.
3564
e77c575f
DH
3565- Attempting to write a new lease file to replace a corrupt (due to
3566 encountering non-retryable errors during writing) lease file should
3567 no longer result in an infinite recursion.
3568
2178df03
DH
3569- Host declaration hardware addresses and client identifiers may only be
3570 configured once. dhcpd will now fail to load config files that specify
3571 multiple identifiers (previous versions would silently over-ride the
3572 value with the later configured value).
3573
d5341d9b
SK
3574- Several option codes that have been allocated since our last release
3575 have been named and documented.
3576
3577- Option names of the form "unknown-123" have been removed from the in-
3578 memory hash tables. In order to support options of these names that
3579 may appear in dhclient.leases or similar in previous versions, the
3580 parser will now find the new option code definition, or mock up a
3581 generic option code definition. This should result in a smooth
3582 transition from one name to the other, as the new name is used to
3583 write new output.
3584
6da113fb
DH
3585 Changes since 3.0.4rc1
3586
3587- The dhcp-options.5 manpage was updated to correct indentation errors
3588 thanks to a patch from Jean Delvare.
3589
3590 Changes since 3.0.4b3
3591
3592- Some manual pages were clarified pursuant to discussion on the dhcp-server
3593 mailing list.
3594
88cd8aca
DH
3595 Changes since 3.0.4b2
3596
45d545f0 3597- Null-termination sensing for certain clients that unfortunately require
88cd8aca
DH
3598 it in DHCPINFORM processing was repaired.
3599
3600- The host-name option and a few others were moved from "X" format to "t"
3601 format to be compatible with new NULL handling functions.
3602
3603- DHCPINFORM processing is a little more careful about return addressing
3604 its responses, or if responding via a relay. The INFORM related
3605 messages also log the 'effective client ip address' rather than the
3606 client's supplied ciaddr (since some clients produce null ciaddrs).
3607
3608- The server was inappropriately sending leases to the RESET state in the
3609 event that multiple active leases were found to match a singly-identified
3610 client. This was changed to RELEASED (by accepting a different, ACTIVE
3611 binding, the client is implicitly releasing its lease). This repairs a
3612 bug wherein secondary servers in failover pairs detecting this condition
3613 move leases to RESET, and primaries refuse to accept that state
3614 transition (properly).
3615
3616- The memset-after-dmalloc() changes made in 3.0.4b1 have been backed out.
3617
3618 Changes since 3.0.4b1
3619
3620- Command line parsing in omshell was repaired - it no longer closes
3621 STDIN after reading one line.
3622
3623- The resolver library no longer closes the /etc/resolv.conf file
3624 descriptor it opened twice.
3625
3626- Changes to trailing NULL removal in 't' option-atoms has been rethought,
3627 it now includes 'd' (domain name) types, and tries hard not to rewind an
3628 option beyond the start of the text field it is un-terminating.
3629
3630 Changes since 3.0.3
3631
3632- A DDNS update handling function was misusing the DNS error codes, rather
3633 than the internal generic result enumeration. The result is a confusing
3634 syslog line, logging the wrong condition.
3635
3636- The DHCP Server was not checking pool balance in the case where it brought
3637 a non-ACTIVE lease out of storage for a client that was returning to use
3638 a lease it once had long ago, and had since expired.
3639
3640- Failover peers no longer bother to look for free leases to allocate when
3641 they already found the client's ACTIVE lease. DISCOVERs are load balanced
98bd7ca0 3642 whether freely-allocated or not, unless the server doubts the peer has
88cd8aca
DH
3643 leases to allocate.
3644
3645- Fixed a bug in dhcrelay agent addition code that suppressed trailing
45d545f0 3646 PAD options - it was suppressing only one trailing PAD option, rather
88cd8aca
DH
3647 than the entire block of them.
3648
3a16098f
DH
3649! Fixed some unlikely overlapping-region memcpy() bugs in dhcrelay agent
3650 option addition and stripping code. Added a few sanity checks. Although
3651 highly improbable, due to requiring the reception of a DHCP datagram well
3652 in excess of all known to be used physical MTU limitations, it is possible
3653 this may have been used in a stack overflow security vulnerability. Thanks
3654 to a patch from infamous42md.
3655
3656! Added some sanity checks to OMAPI connection/authentication code.
3657 Although highly improbable, due to having to deliver in excess of 2^32
3658 bytes of data via the OMAPI channel, not to mention requiring dhcpd to
3659 be able to malloc() a memory region 2^32 bytes in size, it was possible
3660 this might have resulted in a heap overflow security vulnerability.
3661 Thanks to a patch from infamous42md.
88cd8aca
DH
3662
3663- dmalloc() memset()'s the non-debug (data) portion of the allocated
3664 memory to zero. Code that memset()'s the result returned by dmalloc() to
3665 zero is redundant. These redundancies were removed.
3666
3667- Some type declaration corrections to u_int16_t were made in common/tr.c
4b97eaff 3668 (Token Ring support) thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
88cd8aca
DH
3669
3670- A failover bug that was allowing leases that EXPIRED or were RELEASED
3671 where tsfp and tstp are identical timestamps to languish in these
3672 transitional states has been repaired. As a side effect, lease
3673 databases should be kept more consistent overall, not just for these
3674 transitional states.
3675
3676- If the lease db is deleted out from under the daemon, and it moves to rewrite
3677 the db, it will go ahead with the operation and move the new db into place
3678 once it detects the old db does not exist.
3679
3680- dhclient now ignores IRDA, SIT, and IEEE1394 network interfaces, as it
3681 is either nonsensical or (in the case of IEEE1394) is not known to support
3682 these interfaces. Thanks to Marius Gedminas and Andrew Pollock of Debian.
3683
3684- Some previously undocumented reasons for dhclient-script invoking has
45d545f0 3685 been documented in the dhclient-script.8 manpage.
88cd8aca
DH
3686
3687- Failover potential expiry calculations (TSTP) have been corrected. Results
3688 should be substantially more consistent, and proper given the constraints.
3689
3690- Adjusted lease state validation checks in potential-conflict, to
3691 account for possible clock skew similarly to normal state, and several
3692 previously illegal transitions were made legal (ex: active->released).
3693
3694- An impossible sanity check was removed from omapi/buffer.c, thanks to a
3695 patch from 'infamous42md'.
3696
3697- An OMAPI host/network byte order problem in lease time values has been
3698 repaired.
3699
3700- Several minor bugs, largely relating to treating 8-byte time values as
3701 4-byte entities, have been repaired after careful review of the FreeBSD
3702 ports collection's patch set. Thanks to the nameless entities who have
3703 contributed to the FreeBSD ports.
3704
3705- When writing a trace file, the file is now created with permissions 0600,
3706 to help administrators avoid accidentally publicising sensitive config
3707 data.
3708
3709- The calculation of the maximum size of DHCP packets no longer includes
3710 Ethernet framing overhead. The result is that the 'Maximum Message
3711 Size' option advertised by clients, or the default value 576, is no
3712 longer reduced by 14 bytes, and instead directly reflects the IP level
3713 MTU (and the default, minimum allowed IP MTU of 576).
3714
3715- The special status of RELEASED/EXPIRED/RESET leases when a server
3716 is operating in partner-down was fixed. It no longer requires a
3717 lease be twice the MCLT beyond STOS to 'reallocate', and the expiry
3718 event to turn these into FREE leases without peer acknowledgement
3719 (after STOS+MCLT) has been repaired.
3720
3721- Compilation on older Solaris systems (lacking /usr/include/sys/int_types.h)
3722 has been repaired.
3723
3724- "append"ing a string onto the end of a "t" type option (such as the
3725 domain-name field) that had been improperly NULL-terminated by the
3726 DHCP server will no longer result in a truncated string containing
3727 only the option from the server, and not the expected appended value.
4b97eaff 3728 Thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
88cd8aca
DH
3729
3730- File handlers on configuration state (config files and lease dbs) should
98bd7ca0 3731 be treated consistently, regardless of whether TRACING is defined or not.
88cd8aca 3732
45d545f0 3733- The Linux build environment has had some minor improvements - better
88cd8aca
DH
3734 sensing of 64-bit pointer sizes (only used for establishing an icmp_id),
3735 and corrections to #if operators regarding LINUX_MAJOR should it ever
3736 move to 3.[01].x.
3737
3738- The server now tries harder to survive the condition where it is unable
3739 to open a new lease file to rewrite the lease state database.
3740
c75473d8
DH
3741 Changes since 3.0.3b3
3742
3743- dhclient.conf documentation for interface {} was updated to reflect recent
3744 discussion on the dhcp-hackers mailing list.
3745
3746- In response to reports that the software does not compile on GCC 4.0.0,
3747 -Werror was removed from Makefile.conf for all platforms that used it.
3748 We will address the true problem in a future release; this is a temporary
3749 workaround.
3750
3751 Changes since 3.0.3b2
3752
3753- An error in code changes introduced in 3.0.3b2 was corrected, which caused
3754 static BOOTP clients to receive random addresses.
3755
3756 Changes since 3.0.3b1
3757
3758- A bug was fixed in BOOTPREQUEST handling code wherein stale references to
3759 host records would be left behind on leases that were not allocated to the
3760 client currently booting (eg in the case where the host was denied booting).
3761
3762- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated to be more clear in regards to
3763 multiple host declarations (thanks to Vincent McIntyre). 'Interim' style
3764 dynamic updates were also retouched.
3765
98311e4b
DH
3766 Changes since 3.0.2
3767
3768- A bug was fixed where a server might load balance a DHCP REQUEST to its
45d545f0 3769 peer after already choosing not to load balance the preceding DISCOVER.
98311e4b
DH
3770 The peer cannot allocate the originating server's lease.
3771
3772- In the case where a secondary server lost its stable storage while the
3773 primary was still in communications-interrupted, and came back online,
3774 the lease databases would not be fully transferred to the secondary.
3775 This was due to the secondary errantly sending an extra UPDREQ message
3776 when the primary made its state transition to PARTNER-DOWN known.
3777
3778- The package will now compile cleanly in gcc 3.3 and 3.4. As a side effect,
3779 lease structures will be 9 bytes smaller on all platforms. Thanks to
4b97eaff 3780 Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3781
3782- Interface discovery code in DISCOVER_UNCONFIGURED mode is now
3783 properly restricted to only detecting broadcast interfaces. Thanks
4b97eaff 3784 to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3785
3786- decode_udp_ip_header was changed so that the IP address was copied out
3787 to a variable, rather than referenced by a pointer. This enforces 4-byte
3788 alignment of the 32-bit IP address value. Thanks to a patch from Dr.
3789 Peter Poeml.
3790
3791- An incorrect log message was corrected thanks to a patch from
3792 Dr. Peter Poeml.
3793
3794- A bug in DDNS was repaired, where if the server's first DDNS action was
3795 a DDNS removal rather than a DDNS update, the resolver library's
3796 retransmit timer and retry timer was set to the default, implying a
3797 15 second timeout interval. Which is a little excessive in a synchronous,
3798 single-threaded system. In all cases, ISC DHCP should now hold fast to
3799 a 1-second timeout, trying only once.
3800
3801- The siaddr field was being improperly set to the server-identifier when
3802 responding to DHCP messages. RFC2131 clarified the siaddr field as
3803 meaning the 'next server in the bootstrap process', eg a tftp server.
3804 The siaddr field is now left zeroed unless next-server is configured.
3805
3806- mockup_lease() could have returned in an error condition (or in the
3807 condition where no fixed-address was found matching the shared
3808 network) with stale references to a host record. This is probably not
3809 a memory leak since host records generally never die anyway.
3810
3811- A bug was repaired where failover servers would let stale client identifiers
3812 persist on leases that were reallocated to new clients not sending an id.
3813
3814- Binding scopes ("set var = value;") are now removed from leases allocated
3815 by failover peers if the lease had expired. This should help reduce the
3816 number of stale binding scopes on leases.
3817
3818- A small memory leak was closed involving client identifiers larger than
3819 7 bytes, and failover.
3820
3821- Configuring a subnet in dhcpd.conf with a subnet mask of 32 bits might
3822 cause an internal function to overflow heap. Thanks to Jason Vas Dias
4b97eaff 3823 at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3824
3825- Some inconsistencies in treating numbers that the lexer parsed as 'NUMBER'
3826 or 'NUMBER_OR_NAME' was repaired. Hexadecimal parsing is affected, and
3827 should work better.
3828
3829- In several cases, parse warnings were being issued before the lexical
3830 token had been advanced to the token whose value was causing an error...
3831 causing parse warnings to claim the problem is on the wrong token.
3832
3833- Host declarations matching on client identifier for dynamic leases will
3834 no longer match fixed-address host declarations (this is now identical
3835 to behaviour for host records matching on hardware address).
3836
3837 Changes since 3.0.2rc3
3838
3839- A previously undocumented configuration directive, 'local-address',
3840 was documented in the dhcpd.conf manpage.
3841
3842 Changes since 3.0.2rc2
3843
45d545f0 3844- Two variables introduced in 3.0.2b1 were used without being initialized
98311e4b
DH
3845 in the case where neither the FILE nor SNAME fields were available for
3846 overloading. This was repaired.
3847
3848- A heretofore believed to be impossible corner case of the option
3849 overloading implementation turned out to be possible ("Unable to sort
3850 overloaded options after 10 tries."). The implementation was reworked
3851 to consider the case of an option so large it would require more than
3852 three chunks to fit.
3853
3854- Many other instances of variables being used without being initialized
3855 were repaired.
3856
3857- An uninitialized variable in omapi_io_destroy() led to the discovery
3858 that this function may result in orphaned pointers (and hence, a memory
3859 leak).
3860
3861 Changes since 3.0.2rc1
3862
3863- allocate_lease() was rewritten to repair a bug in which the server would
3864 try to allocate an ABANDONED lease when FREE leases were available.
3865
3866 Changes since 3.0.2b1
3867
3868- Some dhcp-eval.5 manpage formatting was repaired.
3869
3870 Changes since 3.0.1
3871
3872- A bug was fixed in the server's 'option overloading' implementation,
3873 where options loaded into the 'file' and 'sname' packet fields were
3874 not aligned precisely as rfc2131 dictates.
3875
3876- The FreeBSD client script was changed to support the case where a domain
3877 name was not provided by the server.
3878
3879- A memory leak in 'omshell' per each command line parsed was
3880 repaired, thanks to a patch from Jarkko Torppa.
3881
3882- Log functions writing to stderr were adjusted to use the STDERR_FILENO
3883 system definition rather than '2'. This is a no-op for 90% of platforms.
3884
3885- One call to trace_write_packet_iov() counted the number of io vectors
3886 incorrectly, causing inconsistent tracefiles. This was fixed.
3887
3888- Some expression parse failure memory leaks were closed.
3889
3890- A host byte order problem in tracefiles was repaired.
3891
3892- Pools configured in DHCPD for failover possessing permission lists that
adb95d23 3893 previously were assumed to not include dynamic bootp clients are now
98311e4b
DH
3894 a little more pessimistic. The result is, dhcpd will nag you about just
3895 about most pools that possess a 'allow' statement with no 'deny' that
3896 would definitely match a dynamic bootp client.
3897
3898- The 'ddns-update-style' configuration warning bit now insists that
3899 the configuration be globally scoped.
3900
3901- Two memory leaks in dhclient were closed thanks to a patch from Felix
3902 Farkas.
3903
3904- Some minor but excellently pedantic documentation errors were fixed
3905 thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
3906
3907- Bugs in operator precedence in executable statements have been repaired
3908 once again. More legal syntaxes should be parsed legally.
3909
3910- Failing to initialize a tracefile for any reason if a tracefile was
3911 specified is now a fatal error. Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
3912
3913- Corrected a bug in which the number of leases transferred as calculated
3914 by the failover primary and sent to peers in POOLRESP responses may be
3915 incorrect. This value is not believed to be used by other failover
3916 implementations, excepting perhaps as logged information.
3917
3918- Corrected a bug in which 'dhcp_failover_send_poolresp()' was in fact
3919 sending POOLREQ messages instead of POOLRESP mesasges. This message
3920 was essentially ignored since failover secondaries effectively do not
3921 respond to POOLREQ messages.
3922
3923- Type definitions for various bitwidths of integers in the sunos5-5
3924 build of ISC DHCP have been fixed. It should compile and run more
3925 easily when built in 64-bit for this platform.
3926
3927- "allow known-clients;" is now a legal syntax, to avoid confusion.
3928
3929- If one dhcp server chooses to 'load balance' a request to its failover
3930 peer, it first checks to see if it believes said peer has a free
3931 lease to allocate before ignoring the DISCOVER.
3932
3933- log() was logging a work buffer, rather than the value returned by
3934 executing the statements configured by the user. In some cases,
3935 the work buffer and the intended results were the same. In some other
3936 cases, they were not. This was fixed thanks to a patch from Gunnar
3937 Fjone and directconnect.no.
3938
3939- Compiler warnings for some string type conversions was fixed, thanks
3940 to Andreas Gustafsson.
3941
3942- The netbsd build environments were simplified to one, in which
3943 -Wconversion is not used, thanks to Andreas Gustafsson.
3944
3945- How randomness in the backoff-cutoff dhclient configuration variable
3946 is implemented was better documented in the manpage, and the behaviour
3947 of dhclient in REQUEST timeout handling was changed to match that of
3948 DISCOVER timeout handling.
3949
3950- Omapi was hardened against clients that pass in null values, thanks
3951 to a patch from Mark Jason Dominus.
3952
3953- A bug was fixed in dhclient that kept it from doing client-side
3954 ddns updates. Thanks to a patch from Andreas Gustafsson, which
3955 underwent some modification after review by Jason Vas Dias.
3956
3957- Failover implementations disconnected due to the network between
3958 them (rather than one of the two shutting down) will now try to
3959 re-establish the failover connection every 5 seconds, rather than
3960 to simply try once and give up until one of them is restarted.
3961 Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from Infoblox, and field testing
3962 by Greger V. Teigre which led to an enhancement to it.
3963
3964- A problem that kept DHCP Failover secondaries from tearing down
3965 ddns records was repaired. Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from
3966 Infoblox.
3967
3968- 64bit pointer sizes are detected properly on FreeBSD now.
3969
3970- A bug was repaired where the DHCP server would leave stale references
3971 to host records on leases it once thought about offering to certain
3972 clients. The result would be to apply host and 'known' scopes to the
3973 wrong clients (possibly denying booting). NOTE: The 'mis-host' patch
3974 that was being circulated as a workaround is not the way this bug was
3975 fixed. If you were a victim of this bug in 3.0.1, you are cautioned
3976 to proceed carefully and see if it fixes your problem.
3977
3978- A bug was repaired in the server's DHCPINFORM handling, where it
3979 tried to divine the client's address from the source packet and
3980 would get it wrong. Thanks to Anshuman Singh Rawat.
3981
3982- A log message was introduced to help illuminate the case where the
3983 server was unable to find a lease to assign to any BOOTP client.
3984 Thanks to Daniel Baker.
3985
3986- A minor dhcpd.conf.5 manpage error was fixed.
3987
3988 Changes since 3.0.1rc14
3989
3990- The global variable 'cur_time' was centralized and is now uniformly of a
3991 type #defined in system-dependent headers. It had previously been defined
3992 in one of many places as a 32-bit value, and this causes mayhem on 64-bit
3993 big endian systems. It probably wasn't too healthy on little endian
3994 systems either.
3995
3996- A printf format string error introduced in rc14 was repaired.
3997
3998- AIX system-dependent header file was altered to only define NO_SNPRINTF
3999 if the condition used to #ifdef in vsnprintf in AIX' header files
4000 is false.
4001
4002- The Alpha/OSF system-dependent header file was altered to define
4003 NO_SNPRINTF on OS revisions older than 4.0G.
4004
4005- omapip/test.c had string.h added to its includes.
4006
4007 Changes since 3.0.1rc13
4008
4009! CAN-2004-0460 - CERT VU#317350: Five stack overflow exploits were closed
4010 in logging messages with excessively long hostnames provided by the
4011 clients. It is highly probable that these could have been used by
4012 attackers to gain arbitrary root access on systems using ISC DHCP 3.0.1
4013 release candidates 12 or 13. Special thanks to Gregory Duchemin for
4014 both finding and solving the problem.
4015
4016! CAN-2004-0461 - CERT VU#654390: Once the above was closed, an opening
45d545f0 4017 in log_*() functions was evidenced, on some specific platforms where
98311e4b
DH
4018 vsnprintf() was not believed to be available and calls were wrapped to
4019 sprintf() instead. Again, credit goes to Gregory Duchemin for finding
4020 the problem. Calls to snprintf() are now linked to a distribution-local
4021 snprintf implementation, only in those cases where the architecture is
4022 not known to provide one (see includes/cf/[arch].h). If you experience
4023 linking problems with snprintf/vsnprintf or 'isc_print_' functions, this
4024 is where to look. This vulnerability did not exist in any previously
4025 published version of ISC DHCP.
4026
4027- Compilation on hpux 11.11 was repaired.
4028
4029- 'The cross-compile bug fix' was backed out.
4030
4031 Changes since 3.0.1rc12
4032
4033- Fixed a bug in omapi lease lookup function, to form the hardware
4034 address for the hash lookup correctly, thanks to a patch from
4035 Richard Hirst.
4036
4037- Fixed a bug where dhcrelay was sending relayed responses back to the
4038 broadcast address, but with the source's unicast mac address. Should
4039 now conform to rfc2131 section 4.1.
4040
4041- Cross-compile bug fix; use $(AR) instead of ar. Thanks to Morten Brorup.
4042
4043- Fixed a crash bug in dhclient where dhcpd servers that do not provide
4044 renewal times results in an FPE. As a side effect, dhclient can now
4045 properly handle 0xFFFFFFFF (-1) expiry times supplied by servers. Thanks
4046 to a patch from Burt Silverman.
4047
4048- The 'ping timeout' debugs from rc12 were removed to -DDEBUG only,
45d545f0 4049 and reformatted to correct a compilation error on Solaris platforms.
98311e4b
DH
4050
4051- A patch was applied which fixes a case where leases read from the
4052 leases database do not properly over-ride previously read leases.
4053
4054- dhcpctl.3 manpage was tweaked.
4055
4056 Changes since 3.0.1rc11
4057
4058- A patch from Steve Campbell was applied with minor modifications to
4059 permit reverse dns PTR record updates with values containing spaces.
4060
4061- A patch from Florian Lohoff was applied with some modifications to
4062 dhcrelay. It now discards packets whose hop count exceeds 10 by default,
4063 and a command-line option (-c) can be used to set this threshold.
4064
4065- A failover bug relating to identifying peers by name length instead of
4066 by name was fixed.
4067
45d545f0 4068- Declaring failover configs within shared-network statements should no
98311e4b
DH
4069 longer result in error.
4070
4071- The -nw command line option to dhclient now works.
4072
4073- Thanks to a patch from Michael Richardson:
4074 - Some problems with long option processing have been fixed.
4075 - Some fixes to minires so that updates of KEY records will work.
4076
4077- contrib/ms2isc was updated by Shu-Min Chang of the Intel Corporation.
4078 see contrib/ms2isc/readme.txt for revision notes.
4079
4080- Dhclient no longer uses shell commands to kill another instance of
4081 itself, it sends the signal directly. Thanks to a patch from Martin
4082 Blapp.
4083
4084- The FreeBSD dhclient-script was changed so that a failure to write to
4085 /etc/resolv.conf does not prematurely end the script. This keeps dhclient
4086 from looping infinitely when this is the case. Thanks to a patch from
4087 Martin Blapp.
4088
4089- A patch from Bill Stephens was applied which resolves a problem with lease
4090 expiry times in failover configurations.
4091
4092- A memory leak in configuration parsing was closed thanks to a patch from
4093 Steve G.
4094
4095- The function which discovers interfaces will now skip non-broadcast or
4096 point-to-point interfaces, thanks to a patch from David Brownlee.
4097
4098- Options not yet known by the dhcpd or dhclient have had their names
4099 changed such that they do not contain # symbols, in case they should ever
4100 appear in a lease file. An option that might have been named "#144" is
4101 now "unknown-144".
4102
4103- Another patch from Bill Stephens which allows the ping-check timeout to
4104 be configured as 'ping-timeout'. Defaults to 1.
4105
4106 Changes since 3.0.1rc10
4107
4108- Potential buffer overflows in minires repaired.
4109
4110- A change to the linux client script to use /bin/bash, since /bin/sh may
4111 not be bash.
4112
4113- Some missing va_end cleanups thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
4114
4115- A correction of boolean parsing syntax validation - some illegal syntaxes
4116 that worked before are now detected and produce errs, some legal syntaxes
4117 that errored before will now work properly.
4118
4119- Some search-and-replace errors that caused some options to change their
4120 names was repaired.
4121
4122- Shu-min Chang of the Intel corporation has contributed a perl script and
4123 module that converts the MS NT4 DHCP configuration to a ISC DHCP3
4124 configuration file.
4125
4126- Applied the remainder of the dhcpctl memory leak patch provided by Bill
4127 Squier at ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
4128
4129- Missing non-optional failover peer configurations will now result in a soft
4130 error rather than a null dereference.
4131
4132 Changes since 3.0.1rc9
4133
4134- A format string was corrected to fix compiler warnings.
4135
4136- A number of spelling corrections were made in the man pages.
4137
4138- The dhclient.conf.5 man page was changed to refer to do-forward-updates
4139 rather than a configuration option that doesn't exist.
4140
4141- A FreeBSD-specific bug in the interface removal handling was fixed.
4142
4143- A Linux-specific Token Ring detection problem was fixed.
4144
4145- Hashes removed from as-yet-unknown agent options, having those options
4146 appear in reality before we know about them will no longer produce
4147 self-corrupting lease databases.
4148
4149- dhclient will use the proper port numbers now when using the -g option.
4150
4151- A order-of-operations bug with 2 match clauses in 1 class statement is
4152 fixed thanks to a patch from Andrew Matheson.
4153
4154- Compilation problems on Solaris were fixed.
4155
4156- Compilation problems when built with DEBUG or DEBUG_PACKET were repaired.
4157
4158- A fix to the dhcp ack process which makes certain group options will be
4159 included in the first DHCPOFFER message was made thanks to a patch from
4160 Ling Gou.
4161
4162- A few memory leaks were repaired thanks to patches from Bill Squier at
4163 ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
4164
4165- A fix for shared-networks that sometimes give clients options for the
4166 wrong subnets (in particular, 'option routers') was applied, thanks to
4167 Ted Lemon for the patch.
4168
4169- Omshell's handling of dotted octets as values was changed such that dots
4170 one after the other produce zero values in the integer string.
4171
4172 Changes since 3.0.1rc8
4173
4174- Fix a format string vulnerability in the server that could lead to a
4175 remote root compromise (discovered by NGSEC Research Team, www.ngsec.com).
4176
4177- Add additional support for NetBSD/sparc64.
4178
4179- Fix a bug in the command-line parsing of the client. Also, resolve
4180 a memory leak.
4181
4182- Add better support for shells other than bash in the Linux client
4183 script.
4184
4185- Various build fixes for modern versions of FreeBSD and Linux.
4186
4187- Fix a bad bounds check when printing binding state names.
4188
4189- Clarify documentation about fixed-address and multiple addresses.
4190
4191- Fix a typo in the authoritative error message.
4192
4193- Make a log entry when we can't write a billing class.
4194
4195- Use conversion targets that are the right size on all architectures.
4196
4197- Increment the hop count when relaying.
4198
4199- Log a message when lease state is changed through OMAPI.
4200
4201- Don't rerun the shared_network when evaluating the pool.
4202
4203- Fix a reversed test in the parser.
4204
4205- Change the type of rbuf_max.
4206
4207- Make FTS_LAST a manifest constant to quiet warnings.
4208
4209 Changes since 3.0.1rc7
4210
4211- Fix two compiler warnings that are generated when compiling on Solaris
4212 with gcc. These stop the build, even though they weren't actually
4213 errors, because we prefer that our builds generate no warnings.
4214
4215 Changes since 3.0.1rc6
4216
4217- Don't allow a lease that's in the EXPIRED, RELEASED or RESET state
4218 to be renewed.
4219
4220- Implement lease stealing for cases where the primary has fewer leases
4221 than the secondary, as called for by the standard.
4222
4223- Add a fudge factor to the lease expiry acceptance code, (suggested
4224 by Kevin Miller of CMU).
4225
4226- Fix a bug in permit_list_match that made it much too willing to say
4227 that two permit lists matched.
4228
4229- Unless DEBUG_DNS_UPDATES is defined, print more user-friendly (and
4230 also more compact) messages about DNS updates.
4231
4232- Fix a bug in generating wire-format domain names for the FQDN option.
4233
4234- Fix a bug where the FQDN option would not be returned if the client
4235 requested it, contrary to the standard.
4236
4237- On Darwin, use the FreeBSD DHCP client script.
4238
4239- On NetBSD/sparc, don't check for casting warnings.
4240
4241- Add a flag in the DHCP client to disable updating the client's A
4242 record when sending an FQDN option indicating that the client is
4243 going to update its A record.
4244
4245- In the client, don't attempt a DNS update until one second after
4246 configuring the new IP address, and if the update times out, keep
4247 trying until a response, positive or negative, is received from the
4248 DNS server.
4249
4250- Fix an uninitialized memory bug in the DHCP client.
4251
4252- Apply some FreeBSD-specific bug fixes suggested by Murray Stokely.
4253
4254- Fix a bug in ns_parserr(), where it was returning the wrong sort
4255 of result code in some cases (suggested by Ben Harris of the
4256 NetBSD project).
4257
4258- Fix a bug in is_identifier(), where it was checking against EOF
4259 instead of the END_OF_FILE token (also suggested by Ben Harris).
4260
4261- Fix a bug where if an option universe contained no options, the
4262 DHCP server could dump core (Walter Steiner).
4263
4264- Fix a bug in the handling of encapsulated options.
4265
4266- Fix a bug that prevented NWIP suboptions from being processed.
4267
4268- Delete the FTS_BOOTP and FTS_RESERVED states and implement them
4269 as modifier flags to the FTS_ACTIVE state, as called for in the
4270 failover protocol standard.
4271
4272- Fix bugs in the pool merging code that resulted in references and
4273 dereferences of null pointers. This bug had no impact unless the
4274 POINTER_DEBUG flag was defined.
4275
4276- In the server, added a do-forward-updates flag that can be used to
4277 disable forward updates in all cases, so that sites that want the
4278 clients to take sole responsibility for updating their A record can
4279 do so.
4280
4281- Make it possible to disable optimization of PTR record updates.
4282
4283 Changes since 3.0.1rc5
4284
4285- Include some new documentation and changes provided by Karl Auer.
4286
4287- Add a workaround for some Lexmark printers that send a double-NUL-
4288 terminated host-name option, which would break DNS updates.
4289
4290- Fix an off-by-one error in the MAC-address checking code for
4291 DHCPRELEASE that was added in 3.0.1rc5.
4292
4293- Fix a bug where client-specific information was not being discarded
4294 from the lease when it expired or was released, resulting in
4295 problems if the lease was reallocated to a different client.
4296
4297- If more than one allocation pool is specified that has the same set
4298 of constraints as another allocation pool on the same shared
4299 network, merge the two pools.
4300
4301- Don't print an error in fallback_discard, since this just causes
4302 confusion and does not appear to be helping to encourage anyone to
4303 fix this bug.
4304
4305 Changes since 3.0.1rc4
4306
4307- Fix a bug that would cause the DHCP server to spin if asked to parse
4308 a certain kind of incorrect statement.
4309
4310- Fix a related bug that would prevent an error from being reported in
4311 the same case.
4312
4313- Additional documentation.
4314
4315- Make sure that the hardware address matches the lease when
4316 processing a DHCPRELEASE message.
4317
4318 Changes since 3.0.1rc3
4319
4320- A minor bug fix in the arguments to a logging function call.
4321- Documentation update for dhcpd.conf.
4322
adbef119 4323 Changes since 3.0.1rc2
98311e4b
DH
4324
4325- Allow the primary to send a POOLREQ message. This isn't what the current
4326 failover draft says to do, so we may have to back it out if I can't get the
4327 authors to relent, but the scheme for balancing that's specified in the
4328 current draft seems needlessly hairy, so I'm floating a trial balloon.
4329 The rc1 code did not implement the method described in the draft either.
4330
adbef119 4331 Changes since 3.0.1rc1
98311e4b
DH
4332
4333- Treat NXDOMAIN and NXRRSET as success when we are trying to delete a
4334 domain or RRSET. This allows the DHCP server to forget about a name
4335 it added to the DNS once it's been removed, even if the DHCP server
4336 wasn't the one that removed it.
4337
4338- Install defaults for failover maximum outstanding updates and maximum
4339 silent time. This prevents problems that might occur if these values
4340 were not configured.
4341
4342- Don't do DDNS deletes if ddns-update-style is none.
4343
4344- Return relay agent information options in DHCPNAK. This prevents DHCPNAK
4345 messages from being dropped when the relay agent information option contains
4346 routing information.
4347
4348- Fix a problem where coming up in recover wouldn't result in an update
4349 request being sent.
4350
4351- Add some more chatty messages when we start a recovery update and when it's
4352 done.
4353
4354- Fix a possible problem where some state might have been left around
4355 after the peer lost contact and regained contact about how many updates
4356 were pending.
4357
4358- Don't nix a lease update because of a lease conflict. This test has
4359 never (as far as I know) prevented a mistake, and it appears to cause
4360 problems with failover.
4361
4362- Add support in rc history code for keeping a selective history, rather
4363 than a history of all references and dereferences. This code is only used
4364 when extensive additional debugging is enabled.
4365
adbef119 4366 Changes since 3.0
98311e4b
DH
4367
4368- Make allocators for hash tables. As a side effect, this fixes a memory
4369 smash in the subclass allocation code.
4370
4371- Fix a small bug in omshell where if you try to close an object when
4372 no object is open, it dumps core.
4373
4374- Fix an obscure coredump that could occur on shutdown.
4375
4376- Fix a bug in the recording of host declaration rubouts in the lease file.
4377
4378- Fix two potential spins in the host deletion code.
4379
4380- Fix a core dump that would happen if an application tried to update
4381 a host object attribute with a null value.
4382
4383 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 12
4384
4385- Fix a memory leak in the evaluation code.
4386
4387- Fix an obscure core dump.
4388
4389- Print a couple of new warnings when parsing the configuration file
4390 when crucial information is left out.
4391
4392- Log "no free leases" as an error.
4393
4394- Documentation updates.
4395
4396 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 11
4397
4398- Always return a subnet selection option if one is sent.
4399
4400- Fix a warning that was being printed because an automatic data
4401 structure wasn't zeroed.
4402
4403- Fix some failover state transitions that were being handled
4404 incorrectly.
4405
4406- When supersede_lease is called on a lease whose end time has already
4407 expired, but for which a state transition has not yet been done, do
4408 a state transition. This fixes the case where if the secondary
4409 allocated a lease to a client and the lease "expired" while the
4410 secondary was in partner-down, no expiry event would actually
4411 happen, so the lease would remain active until the primary was
4412 restarted.
4413
4414 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 10
4415
4416- Fix a bug that was preventing released leases from changing state
4417 in failover-enabled pools.
4418
4419- Fix a core dump in the client identifier finder code (for host
4420 declarations).
4421
4422- Finish fixing a bug where bogus data would sometimes get logged to
4423 the dhclient.leases file because it was opened as descriptor 2.
4424
4425- Fix the Linux dhclient-script according to suggestions made by
4426 several people on the dhcp-client mailing list.
4427
4428- Log successful DNS updates at LOG_INFO, not LOG_ERROR.
4429
4430- Print an error message and refuse to run if a failover peer is
4431 defined but not referenced by any pools.
4432
4433- Correct a confusing error message in failover.
4434

4444
4445- Fix a compilation error on SunOS 4.

TL
4447 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8 Patchlevel 1
4448
4449- Fix a parsing bug that broke dns updates (both interim and ad-hoc).
4450 This was introduced in rc8pl1 as an unintended result of the memory
4451 leakage fixes that were in pl1.
4452
4453- Fix a long-standing bug where the server would record that an update
4454 had been done for a client with no name, even though no update had
4455 been done, and then when the client's lease expired the deletion of
4456 that nonexistant record would time out because the name was the null
9a111ee8 4457 string.
d758ad8c
TL
4458
4459- Clean up the omshell, dhcpctl and omapi man pages a bit.

TL
4461 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8
4462
4463- Fix a bug that could cause the DHCP server to spin if
4464 one-lease-per-client was enabled.
4465
4466- Fix a bug that was causing core dumps on BSD/os in the presence of
4467 malformed packets.
4468
4469- In partner-down state, don't restrict lease lengths to MCLT.
4470
4471- On the failover secondary, record the MCLT received from the primary
4472 so that if we come up without a connection to the primary we don't
4473 wind up giving out zero-length leases.
4474
4475- Fix some compilation problems on BSD/os.
4476
4477- Fix a bunch of memory leaks.
4478
4479- Fix a couple of bugs in the option printer.
4480
4481- Fix an obscure error reporting bug in the dns update code, and also
4482 make the message clearer when a key algorithm isn't supported.
4483
4484- Fix a bug in the tracing code that prevented trace runs that used
4485 tcp connections from being played back.
4486
4487- Add some additional debugging capability for catching memory leaks
4488 on exit.
4489
4490- Make the client release the lease correctly on shutdown.
4491
4492- Add some configurability to the build system.
4493
4494- Install omshell manual page in man1, not man8.
4495
4496- Craig Gwydir sent in a patch that fixes a long-standing bug in the
4497 DHCP client that could cause core dumps, but that for some reason
4498 hadn't been noticed until now.
4499
4500 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 7
4501
4502- Fix a bug in failover where we weren't sending updates after a
4503 transition from communications-interrupted to normal.
4504
4505- Handle expired/released/reset -> free transition according to the
4506 protocol specification (this works - the other way not only wasn't
4507 conformant, but also didn't work).
4508
4509- Add a control object in both client and server that allows either
4510 daemon to be shut down cleanly.
4511
4512- When writing a lease, if we run out of disk space, shut down the
4513 output file and insist on writing a new one before proceeding.
4514
4515- In the server, if the OMAPI listener port is occupied, keep trying
4516 to get it, rather than simply giving up and exiting.
4517
4518- Support fetching variables from leases and also updating and adding
4519 variables to leases via OMAPI.
4520
4521- If two failover peers have wildly different clocks, refuse to start
4522 doing failover.
4523
4524- Fix a bug in the DNS update code that could cause core dumps when
4525 running on alpha processors.
4526
4527- Fixed a bug in ddns updates for static lease entries, thanks to a
4528 patch from Andrey M Linkevitch.
4529
4530- Add support for Darwin/MacOS X
4531
4532- Install omshell (including new documentation).
4533
4534- Support DNS updates in the client (this is a very obscure feature
4535 that most DHCP client users probably will not be able to use).
4536
4537- Somewhat cleaner status logging in the client.
4538
4539- Make OMAPI key naming syntax compatible with the way keys are
4540 actually named (key names are domain names).
4541
4542- Fix a bug in the lease file writer.
4543
4544- Install DHCP ISC headers in a different place than BIND 9 ISC
4545 headers, to avoid causing trouble in BIND 9 builds.
4546
4547- Don't send updates for attributes on an object when the attributes
4548 haven't changed. Support deleting attributes on remote objects.
4549
4550- Fix a number of bugs in omshell, and add the unset and refresh
4551 statements.
4552
4553- Handle disconnects in OMAPI a little bit more intelligently (so that
4554 the caller gets ECONNRESET instead of EINVAL).
4555
4556- Fix a bunch of bugs in the handling of clients that have existing
4557 leases when the try to renew their leases while failover is
4558 operating.
4559
eaf0b302
TL
4560 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 6
4561
4562- Fix a core dump that could happen when processing a DHCPREQUEST from
4563 a client that had a host declaration that contained both a
4564 fixed-address declaration and a dhcp-client-identifier option
4565 declaration, if the client identifier was longer than nine bytes.
4566
4567- Fix a memory leak that could happen in certain obscure cases when
4568 using omapi to manipulate leases.
4569
4570- Fix some bugs and omissions in omshell.
4571

TL
4572 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 5
4573
4574- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that prevented objects in
4575 chains from having their reference counts decreased on dereference.
4576
4577- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that would prevent object
4578 chains from being freed upon removal of the last reference external
4579 to the chain.
4580
4581- Fix a number of other memory leaks in the OMAPI protocol subsystem.
4582
4583- Add code in the OMAPI protocol handler to trace memory leakage.
4584
4585- Clean up the memory allocation/reference history printer.
4586

4595
4596- Fix a bug that would prevent leases from being abandoned properly on
4597 DHCPDECLINE.
4598
4599- Fix failover peer OMAPI support.
4600
4601- In failover, correctly handle expiration of leases. Previously,
4602 leases would never be reclaimed because they couldn't make the
4603 transition from EXPIRED to FREE.
4604
4605- Fix some broken failover state transitions.
4606
4607- Documentation fixes.
4608
4609- Take out an unnecessary check in DHCP relay agent information option
4610 stashing code that was preventing REBINDING clients from rebinding.
4611
4612- Prevent failover peers from allocating leases in DHCPREQUEST
4613 processing if the lease belongs to the other server.
4614
4615- Record server version in lease file introductory comment.
4616
4617- Correctly report connection errors in OMAPI and failover.
4618
4619- Make authentication signature algorithm name comparisons in OMAPI
4620 case-insensitive.
4621
4622- Fix compile problem on SunOS 4.x
4623
98311e4b 4624- If a signature algorithm is not terminated with '.', terminate it so
eaf0b302
TL
4625 that comparisons between fully-qualified names will work
4626 consistently.
4627
4628- Different SIOCGIFCONF probe code, may "fix" problem on some Linux
4629 systems with the probe not working correctly.
4630
4631- Don't allow user to type omapi key on command line of omshell.

4634
4635- Do lease billing on startup in a way that I *think* will finally do
4636 the billing correctly - the previous method could overbill as a
4637 result of duplicate leases.

4641 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 2 Patchlevel 1
4642
4643- Fix some problems in the DDNS update code. Thanks to Albert
4644 Herranz for figuring out the main problem.
4645
4646- Fix some reference counting errors on host entries that were causing
4647 core dumps.
4648
4649- Fix a byte-swap bug in the token ring code, thanks to Jochen
4650 Friedrich.
4651
4652- Fix a bug in lease billing, thanks to Jonas Bulow.
4653
4654 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 2
4655
4656- Change the conditions under which a DHCPRELEASE is actually
4657 committed to be consistent with lease binding states rather than
98311e4b 4658 using the lease end time. This may fix some problems with the
892fe689
TL
4659 billing class code.
4660
4661- Fix a bug where lease updates would fail on Digital Unix (and maybe
4662 others) because malloc was called with a size of zero.
4663
4664- Fix a core dump that happens when the DHCP server can't create its
4665 trace file.

TL
4669- Fix the dhcp_failover_put_message to not attempt to allocate a
4670 zero-length buffer. Some versions of malloc() fail if you try to
4671 allocate a zero-length buffer, and this was causing problems on,
4672 e.g., Digital Unix.
4673
4674- Fix a case where the failover code was printing an error message
4675 when no error had occurred.
4676
4677- Fix a problem where when a server went down and back up again, the
4678 peer would not see a state transition and so would stay in the
4679 non-communicating state.
4680
4681- Be smart about going into recover_wait.
4682
4683- Fix a problem in the failover implementation where peers would fail
4684 to come into sync if interrupted in the RECOVER state. This could
4685 have been the cause of some problems people have reported recently.
4686
4687- Fix a problem with billing classes where they would not be unbilled
4688 when the client lease expired.
4689
4690- If select fails, figure out which descriptor is bad, and cut it out
4691 of the I/O loop. This prevents a potentially nasty spin. I
4692 haven't heard any report it in a while, but it came up consistently
4693 in testing.
4694
4695- Fix a bug in the relay agent where if you specified interfaces on
4696 the command line, it would fail.
4697
4698- Fix a couple of small bugs in the omapi connection object (no known
4699 user impact).
4700
4701- Add the missing 3.0 Beta 1 lease conversion script.
4702
4703- Read dhcp client script hooks if they exist, rather than only if
4704 they're executable.

4709 ANY SITE AT WHICH FIXED-ADDRESS STATEMENTS ARE BEING USED SHOULD
4710 UPGRADE IMMEDIATELY. This has been a long-standing bug - thanks to
4711 Alvise Nobile for discovering it and helping me to find it!

4714 Transmeta.
4715
87784777
TL
4716- There is a known problem with the DHCP server doing failover on
4717 Compaq Alpha systems. This patchlevel is not a release candidate
4718 because of this bug. The bug should be straightforward to fix, so
4719 a new release candidate is expected shortly.
4720
4721- There is a known problem in the DDNS update code that is probably a
4722 bug, and is not, as far as we know, fixed in this patchlevel.

4724 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 24
4725
4726- Went over problematic failover state transitions and made them all
4727 work, so that failover should now much less fragile.
4728
4729- Add some dhcpctl and omapi documentation
4730
4731- Fix compile errors when compiling with unusual predefines.
4732

TL
4744
4745- Fix a bug in the DNS update code where a status code was not being
4746 checked. This may have been causing core dumps.
4747
4748- When parsing the lease file, if a lease declaration includes a
4749 billing class statement, and the lease already has a billing class,
4750 unbill the old class.
4751
4752- When processing failover transactions, where acks will be deferred,
4753 process the state transition immediately.
4754
4755- Don't try to use the new SIOCGIFCONF buffer size detection code on
4756 Linux 2.0, which doesn't provide this functionality.
4757
4758- Apply a patch suggested by Tuan Uong for a problem in dlpi.c.
4759
4760- Fix a problem in using the which command in the configure script.
4761
4762- Fix a parse error in the client when setting up an omapi listener.
4763
4764- Document the -n and -g flags to the client.
4765
4766- Make sure there is always a stdin and stdout on startup. This
4767 prevents shell scripts from accidentally writing error messages into
4768 configuration files that happen to be opened as stderr.
4769
4770- If an interface is removed, the client will now notice that it is
4771 gone rather than spinning. This has only been tested on NetBSD.
4772
4773- The client will attempt to get an address even if it can't create a
4774 lease file.
4775
4776- Don't overwrite tracefiles.
4777
4778- Fix some memory allocation bugs in failover.

4796 pl19.
4797
4798- Actually fix the spin described in the changes for pl20. The
4799 previous fix only partially fixed the problem - enough to get it
4800 past the regression test.

4819 (Damien Neil)
4820
4821- Implement omshell, which can be used to do arbitrary things to the
4822 server (in theory). (Damien Neil)
4823
4824- Fix a case where if a client had two different leases the server could
4825 actually dereference the second one when it hadn't been referenced,
4826 leading to memory corruption and a core dump. (James Brister)
4827
4828- Fix a case where a client could request the address of another client's
4829 lease, but find_lease wouldn't detect that the other client had it, and
4830 would attempt to allocate it to the client, resulting in a lease conflict
4831 message.
4832
4833- Fix a case where a client with more than one client identifier could be
4834 given a lease where the hardware address was correct but the client
4835 identifier was not, resulting in a lease conflict message.
4836
98311e4b 4837- Fix a problem where the server could write out a colon-separated
3350f5b7
TL
4838 hex list as a value for a variable, which would then not parse.
4839 The fix is to always write strings as quoted strings, with any
4840 non-printable characters quoted as octal escape sequences. So
4841 a file written the old way still won't work, but new files written
4842 this way will work.
4843
b3fad8ac
TL
4844- Fix documentation for sending non-standard options.
4845
4846- Use unparsable names for unknown options. WARNING: this will
4847 break any configuration files that use the option-nnn convention.
4848 If you want to continue to use this convention for some options,
4849 please be sure to write a definition, like this:
4850
4851 option option-nnn code nnn = string;
4852
4853 You can use a descriptive name instead of option-nnn if you like.
4854
4855- Fix a problem where we would see a DHCPDISCOVER/DHCPOFFER/
4856 DHCPREQUEST/DHCPACK/DHCPREQUEST/DHCPNAK sequence. This was the
4857 result of a deceptively silly bug in supersede_lease.
4858
4859- Fix client script exit status check, according to a fix supplied by
4860 Hermann Lauer.
4861
4862- Fix an endianness bug in the tracefile support, regarding ICMP
4863 messages.
4864

TL
4872- Add support for transaction tracing. This allows the state of the
4873 DHCP server on startup, and all the subsequent transactions, to be
4874 recorded in a file which can then be played back to reproduce the
4875 behaviour of the DHCP server. This can be used to quickly
4876 reproduce bugs that cause core dumps or corruption, and also for
4877 tracking down memory leaks.
4878
4879- Incorporate some bug fixes provided by Joost Mulders for the DLPI
4880 package which should clear up problems people have been seeing on
4881 Solaris.
4882
4883- Fix bugs in the handling of options stored as linked lists (agent
4884 options, fqdn options and nwip options) that could cause memory
4885 corruption and core dumps.
4886
4887- Fix a bug in DHCPREQUEST handling that resulted in DHCPNAK messages
4888 not being send in some cases when they were needed.
4889
4890- Make the lease structure somewhat more compact.
4891
4892- Make initial failover startup *much* faster. This was researched
4893 and implemented by Damien Neil.
4894
4895- Add a --version flag to all executables, which prints the program
4896 name and version to standard output.
4897
4898- Don't rewrite the lease file every thousand leases.

4908 DHCP client script on the DHCP client command line.
4909
4910- Fix client medium support, which had been broken for some time.
4911
4912- Fix a bug in the DHCP client initial startup backoff interval, which
4913 would cause two DHCPDISCOVERS to be sent back-to-back on startup.

4922
4923- Support relay agents that intercept unicast DHCP messages to stuff
4924 agent options into them.

754ae3e9
TL
4932
4933- Finish fixing a long-standing bug in the agent options code. This
4934 was causing core dumps and failing to operate correctly - in
4935 particular, agent option stashing wasn't working. Agent option
4936 stashing should now be working, meaning that agent options can be
4937 used in class statements to control address allocation.
4938
4939- Fix up documentation.
4940
4941- Fix a couple of small memory leaks that would have added up
4942 significantly in a high-demand situation.
4943
4944- Add a log-facility configuration parameter.
4945
4946- Fix a compile error on some older operating systems.
4947
4948- Add the ability in the client to execute certain statements before
4949 transmitting packets to the server. Handy for debugging; not much
4950 practical use otherwise.
4951
4952- Don't send faked-out giaddr when renewing or bound - again, useful
4953 for debugging.

4956
4957- Fixed a problem where the fqdn decoder would sometimes try to store
4958 an option with an (unsigned) negative length, resulting in a core
4959 dump on some systems.
4960
4961- Work around the Win98 DHCP client, which NUL-terminates the FQDN
4962 option.
4963
4964- Work around Win98 and Win2k clients that will claim they want to do
4965 the update even when they don't have any way to do it.
4966
4967- Fix some log messages that can be printed when failover is operating
4968 that were not printing enough information.
4969
4970- It was possible for a DHCPDISCOVER to get an allocation even when
4971 the state machine said the server shouldn't be responding.
4972
4973- Don't load balance DHCPREQUESTs from clients in RENEWING and
4974 REBINDING, since in RENEWING, if we heard it, it's for us, and in
4975 REBINDING, the client wouldn't have got to REBINDING if its primary
4976 were answering.
4977
4978- When we get a bogus state lease binding state transition, don't do
4979 the transition.

4987
4988- Albert Herranz tracked down and fixed a subtle bug in the base64
4989 decoder that would prevent any key with an 'x' in its base64
4990 representation from working correctly.
4991
4992- Thanks to Chris Cheney and Michael Sanders, we have a fix for the
4993 hang that they both spotted in the DHCP server - when
4994 one-lease-per-client was set, the code to release the "other" lease
4995 could spin.
4996
4997- Fix a problem with alignment of the input buffer in bpf in cases
4998 where two packets arrive in the same bpf read.
4999
5000- Fix a problem where the relay agent would crash if you specified an
5001 interface name on the command line.
5002
5003- Add the ability to conditionalize client behaviour based on the
5004 client state.
5005
5006- Add support for the FQDN option, and added support for a new way of
5007 doing ddns updates (ddns update style interim) that allows more than
5008 one DHCP server to update the DNS for the same network(s). This
5009 was implemented by Damien Neil with some additional functionality
5010 added by Ted Lemon.
5011
5012- Damien added a "log" statement, so that the configuration file can
5013 be made to log debugging information and other information.
5014
5015- Fixed a bug that caused option buffers not to be terminated with an
5016 end option.
5017
5018- Fixed a long-standing bug in the support for option spaces where the
5019 options are stored as an ordered list rather than in a hash table,
5020 which could theoretically result in memory pool corruption.
5021
5022- Prevent hardware declarations with no actual hardware address from
5023 being written as something unparsable, and behave correctly in the
5024 face of a null hardware address on input.
5025
5026- Allow key names to be FQDNs, and qualify the algorithm name if it is
5027 specified unqualified.
5028
5029- Modify the DDNS update code so that it never prints the "resolver
5030 failed" message, but instead says *why* the resolver failed.
5031
5032- Officially support the subnet selection option, which now has an
5033 RFC.
5034
5035- Fix a build bug on MacOS X.
5036
5037- Allow administrator to disable ping checking.

5054- Stash agent options on client leases by default, and use the stashed
5055 options at renewal time.

5058 configuration language.

5067- Teach pretty_print_option to print options in option spaces other than
5068 the DHCP option space.
5069
5070- Add a warning message if the RHS of a not is not boolean.
5071
5072- Never select for more than a day, because some implementations of
5073 select will just fail if the timeout is too long (!).
5074
5075- Fix a case where a DHCPDISCOVER from an unknown network would be
5076 silently dropped.
5077
5078- Fix a bug where if a client requested an IP address for which a different
5079 client had the lease, the DHCP server would reallocate it anyway.
5080
5081- Fix the DNS update code so that if the client changes its name, the DNS
5082 will be correctly updated.

TL
5095- Fix a possible DoS attack where a client could cause the checksummer
5096 to dump core. This was a read, not a write, so it shouldn't be
5097 possible to exploit it any further than that.
5098
5099- Implement client- and server-side support for using the Client FQDN
5100 option.
5101
5102- Support for other option spaces in the client has been added. This
5103 means that it is now possible to define a vendor option space on the
5104 client, request options in that space from the server (which must
5105 define the same option space), and then use those options in the
5106 client. This also allows NWIP and Client FQDN options to be used
5107 meaningfully.
5108
5109- Add object initializer support. This means that objects can now be
5110 initialized to something other than all-zeros when allocated, which
5111 makes, e.g., the interface object support code a little more robust.
5112
5113- Fix an off-by-one bug in the host stuffer. This was causing host
5114 deletes not the work, and may also have been causing OMAPI
5115 connections to get dropped. Thanks to James Brister for tracking
5116 this one down!
5117
5118- Fixed a core dump in the interface discovery code that is triggered
5119 when there is no subnet declaration for an interface, but the server
5120 decides to continue running. Thanks to Shane Kerr for tracking

5143 dump on Solaris (and probably elsewhere).
5144
5145- Add some more safety checks in error logging code.
5146
5147- Add support for ISC_R_INCOMPLETE in OMAPI protocol connection code.
5148

5150 line, the relay agent does not dump core.
5151

5153 spawn with.
5154
5155- Do not allow spurious leases in the lease database to introduce
5156 potentially bogus leases into the in-memory database.

5159 for OMAPI.

5166- Incorporated Peter Marschall's proposed change to array/record
5167 parsing, which allows things like the slp-agent option to be encoded
5168 correctly. Thanks very much to Peter for taking the initiative to
5169 do this, and for doing such a careful job of it (e.g., updating the
5170 comments)!

5206- If the dhcp-max-message-size option is specified in scope, and the
