41
3d53b2f2 42 Changes since 4.4.2-P1 (New Features)
397b2947 43
e180ae07
SG
44- Two new OMAPI function calls were added, `dhcpctl_timed_connect()`
45 and `dhcpctl_timed_wait_for_completion()`. These provide timed
e69d9b5b
WW
46 versions of creating a connection and waiting for an operation
47 to complete.
e180ae07 48 [GitLab #76]
e69d9b5b 49
e180ae07 50- The BIND libraries have been updated to the latest version, 9.11.36. This fixes a number
83c52925
TM
51 of compilation issues on various systems, including OpenWRT. Thanks to
52 Philip Prindeville for testing on OpenWRT.
e180ae07 53 [GitLab #218, #171, #180, #192]
29254896 54
e180ae07 55- Support was added for the new DHCPv4 option v6-only-preferred, specified
83c52925
TM
56 in RFC 8925. A new reason code, V6ONLY, was added to the client script
57 and the client Linux script sample was updated.
e180ae07 58 [GitLab #132]
397b2947 59
3d53b2f2 60 Changes since 4.4.2-P1 (Bug Fixes)
6c7e6157 61
e180ae07
SG
62- Minor corrections were made to allow compilation under gcc 10.
63 [GitLab #117]
6c7e6157 64
e180ae07
SG
65- The logic in dhclient that causes it to decline DHCPv4 leases if the
66 client script exits abnormally (i.e. crashes) has been corrected.
67 [GitLab #123]
33e51761 68
e180ae07 69- The limit on the size of a lease file that can be loaded at startup
2e914d00 70 is now only enforced on 32-bit systems.
e180ae07 71 [GitLab #92]
2e914d00 72
83c52925
TM
73- The PRNG initialization has been improved. It now uses the configure flag
74 `--with-randomdev=PATH`, which specifies the device from which to read the
75 initial seed. That is typically `/dev/random` (the default value) or
e180ae07 76 `/dev/urandom`, but may be specified otherwise on the local system. The old
83c52925
TM
77 behavior can be forced by disabling this feature (`--with-randomdev=no`).
78 If the initialization is disabled or reading from the random device fails,
79 the previous algorithm (retrieve the last four bytes of hardware addresses
80 from all network interfaces that have them, and use the current time and
81 process ID) is used.
e180ae07 82 [GitLab #197]
629a4524 83
e180ae07
SG
84- A minor dhclient code fix was made to remove compilation warnings.
85 [GitLab #190]
0c03eaef 86
e180ae07
SG
87- The hard-coded MD5 algorithm name was removed in OMAPI connection logic.
88 Previously, using any other algorithm via a key-algorithm statement would
89 allow OMAPI connections to be made, but subsequent actions such as updating
90 an object would fail.
91 [GitLab #148]
7de26fe7 92
9ea5696d
TM
93- The parallel build has been improved. Thanks to Sergei Trofimovich for
94 the patch. The parallel build is still experimental, as officially the
e180ae07
SG
95 BIND 9 code does not support the parallel build for libraries.
96 [GitLab #91]
9ea5696d 97
e180ae07
SG
98- Handling of LDAP options (`ldap-gssapi-principal` and `ldap-gssapi-keytab`)
99 has been improved. This is contributed code that has not been tested by ISC. Thank
0427f30d 100 you to Petr Mensik and Pavel Zhukov for the patches!
e180ae07 101 [GitLab !56,!75]
0427f30d 102
e180ae07
SG
103- It is now possible to use `option -g ipaddr` in the dhcrelay to replace the giaddr sent to
104 clients with the given ipaddr, to work around bogus clients like Solaris 11
105 grub which use giaddr instead of the announced router (3) to set up their
b5fafe12 106 default route. Thanks to Jens Elkner for the patch!
e180ae07 107 [GitLab #223, !86, !92]
b5fafe12 108

TM
109 Changes since 4.4.2 (Bug Fixes)
110
111- Corrected a buffer overwrite possible when parsing hexadecimal
112 literals with more than 1024 octets.
113 [Gitlab #182]
114 CVE: CVE-2021-25217
115
4ad524bd 116 Changes since 4.4.2b1 (Bug Fixes)
e4b6b033
TM
117
118- Added a clarification on DHCPINFORMs and server authority to
119 dhcpd.conf.5
120 [Gitlab #37]
121
5c23b618
TM
122- Only emit lease scrubbing log messages when DEBUG_FAILOVER_MESSAGES
123 is defined.
124 [Gitlab #72]
125
4ad524bd
TM
126- Added the interface name to socket initialization failure log messages.
127 Prior to this the log messages stated only the error reason without
128 stating the target interface.
129 [Gitlab #75]
130
bba906f6 131- Corrected buffer pointer logic in dhcrelay functions that manipulate
afb66401
TM
132 agent relay options. Thanks to Thomas Imbert of MSRC Vulnerabilities
133 & Mitigations for reporting the issue.
83c52925 134 [Gitlab #71]
bba906f6 135
39788b3d
TM
136- Corrected unresolved symbol errors building relay_unittests when
137 configured to build using libtool.
83c52925 138 [Gitlab #80]
39788b3d 139
cce04313 140 Changes since 4.4.1 (New Features)
a5b21e16
TM
141
142- A new configuration parameter, ping-cltt-secs (v4 operation only), has
143 been added to allow the user to specify the number of seconds that must
144 elapse since CLTT before a ping check is conducted. Prior to this, the
0cd94b5e 145 value was hard coded at 60 seconds. Please see the server man pages for
a5b21e16
TM
146 a more detailed discussion.
147 [ISC-Bugs #36283]
cce04313 148
cb89a691
TM
149- A new configuration parameter, ping-timeout-ms (v4 operation only),
150 has been added that allows the user to specify the amount of time
151 the server waits for a ping-check response in milliseconds rather
152 than in seconds (via ping-timeout). When greater than zero, the value
153 of ping-timeout-ms will override the value of ping-timeout. Thanks
154 to Jay Doran from Bluecat Networks for suggesting this feature.
0cd94b5e 155 [Gitlab #10]
cb89a691 156
2ca63671
TM
157- An experimental tool called, Keama (KEA Migration Assistant), which helps
158 translate ISC DHCP configurations to Kea configurations, is now included
159 in the distribution.
160 [Gitlab #34]
161
cce04313
TM
162 Changes since 4.4.1 (Bug Fixes)
163
164- Corrected a misuse of the BIND9 DDNS API which caused DDNS updates to be
165 carried out over TCP rather than UDP. The coding error was exposed by
166 migration to BIND9 9.11. Thanks to Jinmei Tatuya at Infoblox for
167 reporting the issue.
168 [ISC-Bugs #47757]
169
c07eb442
TM
170- Bind9 now defaults to requiring python to build. The Makefile for
171 building Bind9 when bundled with ISC DHCP was modified to turn off
172 this dependency.
0cd94b5e 173 [Gitlab #3]
9ef78585
TM
174
175- Corrected a dual-stack mixed-mode issue that occurs when both
176 ddns-guard-id-must-match and ddns-other-guard-is-dynamic
177 are enabled and that caused the server to incorrectly interpret
178 the presence of a guard record belonging to another client as
179 a case of no guard record at all. Thanks to Fernando Soto
180 from BlueCat Networks for reporting this issue.
0cd94b5e 181 [Gitlab #1]
c07eb442 182
1c779d3b
TM
183- Corrected a compilation issue that occurred when building without DNS
184 update ability (e.g. by undefining NSUPDATE).
0cd94b5e 185 [Gitlab #16]
1c779d3b 186
fce94f06
TM
187- Corrected an issue that was causing the server, when running in
188 DHPCv4 mode, to segfault when class lease limits are reached.
dfcbe359
TM
189 Thanks to Peter Nagy at Porion-Digital for reporting the matter
190 and submitting a patch.
0cd94b5e 191 [Gitlab #13]
fce94f06 192
753d458b 193- Made minor changes to eliminate warnings when compiled with GCC 9.
71277027 194 Thanks to Brett Neumeier for bringing the matter to our attention.
0cd94b5e
TM
195 [Gitlab #15]
196
197- Fixed potential memory leaks in parser error message generation
198 spotted by Coverity, CIDs: 1448191, 1448193, 1448194, 1448195
199 [Gitlab #30]
200
201- Updated URL of IEEE oui.txt in contrib/dhcp-lease-list.pl. Thanks
202 to Tommy Smith for contributing the patch.
203 [Gitlab #26]
204
205- Fixed define flags when using SO_BINDTODEVICE. Thanks to Joe LeVeque for
206 reporting the issue.
207 [GitLab #19]
208
209- Applied a patch from OpenBSD to always set the scope id of outbound
210 DHPCv6 packets. Note this change only applies when compiling under
211 OpenBSD. Thanks to Brad Smith at OpenBSD from bringing it to our
212 attention.
213 [Gitlab #33]
214
215- Modified dhclient to not discard config file leases that are
216 duplicates of server-provided leases and to retain such leases
217 after they have been used as the fallback active lease and
218 DHCP service has been restored. This allows them to be used
82e0ea57 219 more than once during the lifetime of a dhclient instance.
0cd94b5e
TM
220 This applies to DHCPv4 operation only.
221 [Gitlab #9]
222
223- Corrected a number of reference counter and zero-length buffer leaks.
afb66401
TM
224 Thanks to Christopher Ertl of MSRC Vulnerabilities & Mitigations for
225 pointing them out.
0cd94b5e
TM
226 [Gitlab #57]
227
228- Closed a small window of time between the installation of graceful
229 shutdown signal handlers and application context startup, during which
230 the receipt of shutdown signal would cause a REQUIRE() assertion to
231 occur. Note this issue is only visible when compiling with
232 ENABLE_GENTLE_SHUTDOWN defined.
233 [Gitlab #53]
234
235- Corrected a buffer overflow that can occur when retrieving zone
236 names that are more than 255 characters in length.
237 [Gitlab #20]
238
239- The "d" domain name option format was incorrectly handled as text
240 instead of RFC 1035 wire format. Thanks to Jay Doran at BlueCat Networks
241 for reporting this issue.
242 [Gitlab #2]
243
244- Improved the error message issued when a host declaration has both
245 a uid and a dhcp-client-identifier. Server configuration parsing will
246 now fail if a host declaration specifies more than one uid.
247 [Gitlab #7]
753d458b 248
4adcee93
TM
249- Updated developer's documentation on building and running unit tests.
250 Removed support for --with-atf=bind as BIND9 no longer bundles in ATF
251 source.
252 [Gitlab #35]
253
83175640
TM
254- Fixed a syntax error in ldap.c which cropped up under Ubuntu
255 18.04.1/gcc 7.4.0. Thanks to Charles Hedrick for pointing it out.
256 [Gitlab #51]
257
2661204d
TM
258- Added clarification to dhcp-options.5 section on ip-address values
259 describing the first-use DNS resolution of options with hostnames as
260 values (e.g. next-server).
261 [Gitlab #28]
262
9a2f9db5
TM
263- The option format for the server option omapi-key was changed to a
264 format type 'k' (key name); while server options ldap-port and
265 ldap-init-retry were changed to 'L' (unsigned 32-bit integer). These
266 three options were inadvertantly broken when the 'd' format content
267 was changed to comply with RFC 1035 wire format (see Gitlab #2).
268 [Gitlab #68]

cce04313 272 Changes since 4.4.0 (Bug Fixes)
6826003b
TM
273
274- A delayed-ack value of 0 (the default), now correctly disables the delayed
275 feature. A change in 4.4.0 prohibited lease updates marking leases active
276 from be written to the lease file when delayed-ack is 0. This in turn,
277 caused servers to lose active lease assignments upon restart.
278 [ISC-Bugs #47141]
279
197b26f2
TM
280! Option reference count was not correctly decremented in error path
281 when parsing buffer for options. Reported by Felix Wilhelm, Google
282 Security Team.
283 [ISC-Bugs #47140]
c5931725
TM
284 CVE: CVE-2018-5733
285
286! Corrected an issue where large sized 'X/x' format options were causing
287 option handling logic to overwrite memory when expanding them to human
288 readable form. Reported by Felix Wilhelm, Google Security Team.
289 [ISC-Bugs #47139]
290 CVE: CVE-2018-5732
197b26f2 291
d5118758
TM
292- Added use of new Bind9 compatibility header files, that are now necessary
293 to supply type definitions for primitive data types, removed from Bind9
294 proper. Altered util/bind.sh to pull from Bind9 repo on gitlab.
295 [ISC-Bugs #48072]
296 [ISC-Bugs #48071]
297
d394b602
TM
298 Changes since 4.4.0b1 (New Features)
299
300- Duplicate address detection when binding to a new IPv6 address was added
301 to the following dhclient scripts: linux,freebsd,netbsd,openbsd, and macos.
302 The scripts will check for DAD errors after binding to a new IPv6 address
303 for at most --dad-wait-time seconds. If a DAD error is detected the script
304 will exit with a value of 3, instructing dhclient to decline the address. If
305 dad-wait-time is zero (the default), DAD error checking is not peformed.
306 [ISC-Bugs 46805]
307
efd3b1e2
TM
308- Support for sending and receiving additional DHCP4 options has been added
309 to both the dhcpd and dhclient. Specifically: option codes 93,94, and 97
310 (RFC 4578); code 150 (RFC 5859); and codes 209,219, and 211 (RFC 5071).
311 Beyond configuring, sending, requesting, and receiving these options neither
312 server nor client apply any additional logic based on their values.
313 Thanks to Peter Lewis for requesting this change.
314 [ISC-Bugs 47062]
315
d638452e
TM
316 Changes since 4.4.0b1 (Bug Fixes)
317
318- Added clarifying text to dhcpd.conf.5 explaining the class match expressions
319 cannot rely on the results of executable statements.
320 [ISC-Bugs #45451]
321
db4e4aa2
TM
322- Fixed a bug which causes dhcpd and dhclient to crash on certain
323 systems when given relative path names for lease or pid files on
324 the command line. Affected systems are those on which the C library
325 function, realpath() does not support a second parameter value of
326 NULL (see manpages for realpath(3)).
327 [ISC-Bugs #46957]
328
b94669fa
TM
329- Fixed a build issue when building with embedded BIND9 under OpenBSD that
330 was causing BIND9 build to not generate dns/enumclass.h and dns/enumtype.h.
331 [ISC-Bugs #46971]
332
de964f22
TM
333- Added <dhcp>/m4/README to the distribution tarball. Some versions of
334 ac_local() treat the absence of the m4 subdirectory as error rather than
335 warning. This was causing the call to autoreconf, necessary for building
336 with libtool, to fail.
337 [ISC-Bugs #47075]
338
4aa6129a 339 Changes since 4.4.0a1 (New Features)
7512d88b 340
4aa6129a
TM
341- Added experimental support for relay port (draft-ietf-dhc-relay-port-10.txt)
342 feature for DHCPv4, DHCPv6 and DHCPv4-over-DHCPv6. Relay port has to be
343 enabled at compile time via --enable-relay-port and is fully backward
344 compatible (i.e. works with previous implementations of servers and relays
345 using the standard ports). A new --rp <relay-port> command line option
346 specifies to dhcrelay an alternate source port for upstream (i.e. toward
347 the server) messages. Thanks to Naiming Shen and Enke Chen of Cisco
348 systems for submitting these patches.
349 [ISC-Bugs #44535]
350
351- Added --release-on-roam to dhcpd server. When enabled and the server detects
352 that a DHCPv6 client (IAID+DUID) has roamed to a new network, it will release
353 the pre-existing leases on the old network and emit a log statement similar
354 to the following:
355
356 "Client: <id> roamed to new network, releasing lease: <address>"
357
358 The server will carry out all of the same steps that would normally occur
359 when a client explicitly releases a lease. This behavior is disabled by
360 default and may only be specified globally. Prior to this the server renders
361 the leases unavailable until they expire or the server is restarted. Clients
362 that need leases in multiple networks must supply a unique IAID in each IA.
363 When release-on-roam is disabled (the default) the server maintains the
364 prior behavior of making such leases unavailable until they expire or the
365 server is restarted. Clients that need leases in multiple networks must
366 supply a unique IAID in each IA. This parameter may only be specified at
367 the global level. Thanks to Fernando Soto from BlueCat Networks for
368 suggesting this change.
369 [ISC-Bugs #44576]
370 [ISC-Bugs #46849]
371
372- Support for delayed-ack is now compiled in by default. Prior to this
373 it had to be enabled at compile time via --enable-delayed-acks. The
374 default value for delayed-ack, however, has been changed from 28 to 0
375 (i.e. disabled). This was done to minimize the impact on users not
376 currently using the feature. Please note that the delayed-ack feature
377 is not currently compatible with support for DHPCv4-over-DHCPv6 so
378 when a 4to6 port command line argument enables this in the server the
379 delayed-ack value is reset to 0.
380 [ISC-Bugs #42446]
381
382- The server (-6) now honors the parameter, update-static-leases, for static
383 (fixed-address6) DHCPv6 leases. It is worth noting that because stateful
384 data is not retained by the server for static leases, each time a client
385 requests or renews a static lease, the server will perform DDNS updates for
386 it. This may have significant performance implications for environments
387 with many clients that request or renew static leases often. Similarly,
388 the DNS entries will not be removed by server when a client issues a RELEASE
389 nor if the lease is deleted from the configuration. In such cases the DNS
390 entries must be removed manually. This feature is disabled by default.
391 Thanks to both Bill Shirley and dgutier-at-cern-dot-ch for requesting
392 this change.
393 [ISC-Bugs #34097]
394 [ISC-Bugs #41054]
395 [ISC-Bugs #41450]
396
397- Added to the server (-6) a new statement, local-address6, which specifies
398 the source address of packets sent by the server. An additional flag,
399 bind-local-address6, disabled by default, binds the service socket to
400 to local-address6. Note that bind-local-address does not work with direct
401 clients: a relay has to forward packets to the server using the
402 local-address6 destination.
403 [ISC-Bugs #46084]
404
405 Changes since 4.4.0a1 (Bugs)
406
407- The server now recognizes environment variables PATH_DHCPD_DB and
408 PATH_DHCPD_PID. These had been incorrectly compiled out of the code
409 unless DHCPv6 support was disabled. Additionally, the server man
410 pages were corrected to accurately reflect how the server chooses
411 file names (see lease-file-name and pid-file-name statements). Thanks
7932503f

412 to Fernando Soto at Bluecat Networks for bringing this matter to our
413 attention.
4aa6129a
TM
414 [ISC-Bugs #46859]
415
416- Removed an "Impossible condition" error upon exit in the dhcpd server that
417 has been shutdown via OMAPI. This condition was only apparent under Solaris

429- Added --enable-bind-install to install embedded bind includes and
430 libraries. Default is to not install them (it was the previous
431 behavior). If you'd like to change the includedir and/or libdir
5a67b030

432 installation directories to something different than for ISC DHCP
433 you must pass them using the --with-bind-extra-config configuration

437- Added support of dynamic shared libraries with libtool. A new
438 --enable-libtool configuration parameter is available but

TM
443- IPv6 operation now supports an EUI-64 based address allocation which will
444 calculate addresses for clients with EUI-64 DUIDs based on those DUIDs when
445 enabled by setting use-eui-64 true. The parameter may defined down to the
446 pool scope. Note this feature must be compiled in by defining EUI_64 in
447 includes/site.h. This flag is undefined by default.

460- Load balancing for failover peers can now be disabled by setting
461 "load balance max secs" to 0. Doing so for both peers means both
462 servers will respond to all DHCPDISCOVERs or DHCPREQUESTs as soon as
463 they are received.

476- dhclient will now wait for 10 seconds after declining an IPv4 address
477 before issuing a discover. This is in keeping with RFC 2131, section 3.1.5.
478 Prior to this dhclient did not wait at all. The amount of time dhclient
479 waits can be specified via a new command line parameter:
480 --decline-wait-time <seconds>. A value of zero equates to no wait at all.

486 DHCPREQUESTs, DHCPACKs, DHCPRELEASEs, and DHCPDECLINEs. Additionally,
487 DHCPOFFERs will be logged before their corresponding DHCPREQUESTs are
488 sent and logged.

TM
491- When given the -T command line argument, in addition to reading the
492 current lease file, the server will write the leases to a temporary
493 lease file. This can help detect issues in server configuration that
494 only surface when leases are written to the file. The current lease
495 file will not be modified and the temporary lease file is removed upon
496 completion of the test.

TM
499- dhclient will now generate a DHCPv6 DECLINE message containing all IA_NA
500 addresses which for which the client script indicates a DAD failure. After
501 receiving the DECLINE reply, dhclient will restart the solicit process.
502 Note, the client script must exit with a value of 3 to signify that the
503 address failed DAD. Thanks to Jiri Popelka of Red Hat for submitting the
504 patch that was the foundation for this change.

TM
510- Replaced compilation option, enable-secs-byteorder, with a run-time, server
511 configuration parameter, check-secs-byte-order. When enabled, the
512 server will check for clients that do the byte ordering on the secs field
513 incorrectly. This field should be in network byte order but some clients
514 get it wrong. When this parameter is enabled the server will examine the
515 secs field and if it looks wrong (high byte non zero and low byte zero) swap
516 the bytes. The default is disabled. This parameter is only useful when
517 doing load balancing within failover.

TM
520- The default value for server (-6) parameter, prefix-length-mode, has been
521 changed from "exact" to "prefer". In "prefer" mode the server will offer
522 the first available prefix with the same length as that requested by the
523 client. If none are found then it will offer the first available prefix of
524 any length. This is more in line with with RFC 8168 and should improve
525 the out-of-the-box user experience.

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

540- Added three new server configuration parameters which influence DDNS:
541 1. ddns-dual-stack-mixed-mode - alters DNS conflict resolution behavior
542 to mitigate issues with non-compliant clients in dual stack environments.
543
544 2. ddns-guard-id-must-match - relaxes the DHCID RR client id matching
545 requirement of DNS conflict resolution.
546

553- A "key-algorithm <algorithm>" statement has been added to omshell to
554 allow the specification of the key algorithm to use during transaction
555 authentication. Prior to this it was hard-coded to be hmac-md5. It now
556 supports all of the same algorithms as the dhcpd server: hmac-md5 (the
557 default), hmac-sha1, hmac-sha224, hmac-sha256, hmac-sha384, and hmac-sha512.
558 [ISC-Bugs #46771]
559
c2e5ee28
TM
560- Added a server configuration parameter, persist-eui-64-leases, which
561 determines whether or not EUI-64 based leases are written to the
562 leases file. Default is true.
563 [ISC-Bugs #45046]
564
140612c8 565- Changed the default value of the prefix length passed by dhclient into the
a804fcc0
TM
566 client script for each IPv6 address from 64 to 128. This was done to comply
567 with RFC3315bis draft (-09, page 64) and RFC5942, Section 4, point 1.
568 In addition, dhclient now supports a command line argument,
569 --address-prefix-len, which may be used to override the default value.
570 **WARNING**: This change may not be backwardly compatible with your
571 environment. If you are operating without a router, such as between VMs on
572 a host, you may find they cannot see each with prefix length of 128. In
573 such cases, you'll need to either provide routing or use the command line
574 parameter to set the value to 64. Alternatively you may change the default
575 at compile time by setting DHCLIENT_DEFAULT_PREFIX_LEN in includes/site.h.

585- Corrected an issue where the server would return a client's previously
586 released prefix lease even when the client provides a prefix length
587 hint that does not match the prior lease. Now the server will only
588 return the previous lease if it exactly matches the hint. If not
589 it will attempt to allocate a new prefix based on the hint and the
590 prefix-length-mode. Thanks to Tim DeNike - Lightspeed Communications

599- Added to code ignore empty IPv4 host name option (code 12). While RFC 2132
600 states the option cannot be empty, some clients are apparently capable of
601 sending it. Prior to this the server was attempting to use it and store it
602 in the lease file causing issues with DDNS and so forth.

634- The server now allows the client identifier (option 61) to own leases
635 in more than one subnet concurrently. Prior to this the server would
636 incorrectly release an existing lease in one subnet prior to assigning
637 a lease in another subnet. Note that the prior behavior can be still
638 be achieved by enabling one-lease-per-client. Thanks to both David Zych at

715- Added --dad-wait-time parameter to dhclient. It specifies the maximum time,
716 in seconds, that the client process should wait for the duplicate address
717 detection to complete before initiating DHCP requests. This value is
718 propagated to the dhclient script and the script is responsible for waiting
719 the specified amount of time or until DAD has completed. If the script does
720 not support it, specifying this parameter has no effect. The default value
721 is 0 which specifies that the script should not wait for DAD. With this
722 change the following scripts have been modified to support the new parameter:

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

1105- The server now does a better check to see if it can allocate the memory
1106 for large blocks of v4 leases and should provide a slightly better error
1107 message. Note well: the server pre-allocates v4 addresses, if you use
1108 a large range, such as a /8, the server will attempt to use a large
1109 amount of memory and may not start if there either isn't enough memory
1110 or the size exceeds what the code supports.

1113- The server will now reject unicast Request, Renew, Decline, and Release
1114 messages from a client unless the server would have sent that client the
1115 dhcp6.unicast option. This behavior is in compliance with paragraph 1 in
1116 each of the sections 18.2,1, 18.2.3, 18.2.6, and 18.2.7 of RFC 3315. Prior
1117 to this, the server would simply accept the messages. Now, in order for
1118 the server to accept such a message, the server configuration must include
1119 the dhcp6.unicast option either globally or within the shared network to
1120 which the requested lease belongs. In other words, the server will map
1121 the first IA_XX address found within the client message to a shared-network
1122 and look for the presence of the unicast option there and then globally.

1191- Corrected an issue in v6 lease file parsing. Prior to this, when encountering
1192 a lease with an address for which no configured pool exists, the server was
1193 declaring the lease file corrupt and incorrectly skipping over the subsequent
1194 entry in the file. The server will now emit a log message indicating that
1195 no pool was found for the address (or prefix) and correctly resume parsing
1196 with the next entry in the lease file. Our thanks to Michal Žejdl for
1197 reporting the issue.
1198 [ISC-Bugs #39314]
1199
1200- Be more liberal in finding a subnet group associated with a static
1201 prefix. When we added the class matching code for v6 we also added
1202 a requirement that the static prefix must be within a subnet the
1203 client was in, in order to find the proper statements. We now
1204 look for a subnet based on the prefix, failing that on the static
1205 address for the client and failing that on the shared network
1206 itself.
1207 [ISC-Bugs #38329]

1211 the encoding specified by the vendor-option-space statement.

1218
1219- Relax the requirement that prefix pools must be within the subnet.
1220 This was added in as part of #32453 in order to avoid configuration
1221 mistakes but is being removed as prefixes aren't required to be
1222 within the same subnet and many people configure them in that fashion.
1223 [ISC-Bugs #40077]
1224
1225- Fixed a server crash that could occur when the server attempts to remove
1226 the billing class from the last lease billed to a dynamic class after said
1227 class has been deleted. Our thanks to Lasse Pesonen for reporting the
1228 issue.

1258 Thanks to Frédéric Perrin from Brocade for finding the issue
1259 and suggesting a patch.

1262 Changes since 4.3.2rc2
1263- None
1264
1265 Changes since 4.3.2rc1
1266
1267- Corrected a compilation error introduced by the fix for ISC-Bugs #37415.
1268 The error occurs on Linux variants that do not support VLAN tag information
1269 in packet auxiliary data. The configure script now only enables inclusion
1270 of the VLAN tag-based logic if it is supported by the underlying OS.
1271 [ISC-Bugs #38677]
1272
1273 Changes since 4.3.2b1
1274
1275- Specifying the option, --disable-debug, on the configure script command line
1276 now disables debug features. Prior to this, specifying --disable-debug
1277 incorrectly enabled debug features. Thanks to Gustavo Zacarias for reporting
1278 the issue.
1279 [ISC-Bugs #37780]
1280
1281- Unit test execution now uses a path augmented during configuration
1282 processing of the --with-atf option to locate ATF runtime tools, atf-run
1283 and atf-report. For most installations of ATF, this should alleviate the
1284 need to manually include them in the PATH, as was formerly required.
1285 If the configure script cannot locate the tools it will emit a warning,
1286 informing the user that the tools must be in the PATH when running unit
1287 tests.
1288 Secondly, please note that "make check" will now exit with a failure status
1289 code (non-zero) if one or more unit tests fail. This means that invoking
1290 "make check" from an upper level directory will cause the make process to
1291 STOP after the first test subdirectory with failed test(s). To force all
1292 tests in all subdirectories to run, regardless of individual test outcome,
1293 use the command "make -k check".

1303 and hmac-sha512
1304 [ISC-Bugs #36947]

1322 [ISC-Bugs #36933] Corrects Coverity reported "medium" impact issues
1323 [ISC-Bugs #37708] Fixes compilation error in dst_api.c seen in older
1324 compilers that was introduced by #36712
1325
1326- Server now supports a failover split value of 256.
1327 [ISC-Bugs] #36664]
1328
1329- Remove unneeded error #defines. These defines were included in case
1330 external programs required the older versions of the macro. They
1331 have been #ifdeffed for now and will be removed at a future date.
1332 See site.h for the #define to include them again, but you should
1333 switch to using the DHCP_R_* versions instead of the ISC_R_* versions.
1334 Also ISC_R_MULTIPLE has been removed as it is also defined in bind.
1335 [ISC-Bugs #37128]
1336
1337- Added checks in range6 and prefix6 statement parsing to ensure addresses
1338 are within the declared subnet. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the

1345
1346- Addressed checksum issues:
1347 Added checksum readiness check to Linux packet filtering which eliminates
1348 invalid packet drops due to checksum errors when checksum offloading is
1349 in use. Based on dhcp-4.2.2-xen-checksum.patch made to the Fedora project.

1358 [ISC-Bugs #24216]
1359 [ISC-Bugs #25587]
1360
1361- Added the echo-client-id configuration parameter to the server configuration.
1362 The server now supports RFC 6842 compliant behavior by setting a new
1363 configuration parameter, echo-client-id. When enabled, the server will
1364 include the client identifier option (Option code 61) if received, in its
1365 responses. The server identifier returned in NAKs (if enabled) will now
1366 be the globally defined value (if one) if the server cannot attribute the
1367 inbound request to a known subnet.
1368 [ISC-Bugs #35958]
1369 [ISC-Bugs #32545]
1370
1371- Added support of the configuration parameter, use-host-decl-names, to
1372 BOOTP request handling.
1373 [ISC-Bugs #36233]
1374
1375- Added logic to ignore the signal, SIGPIPE, which ensures write failures
1376 will be delivered as errors rather than as SIGPIPE signals on all OSs.
1377 Thanks to Marius Tomaschewski from SUSE who reported the issue and provided
1378 the patch upon which the fix is based.
1379 [ISC-Bugs #32222]
1380
1381- In the failover code, handle the case of communications being interrupted
1382 when the servers are dealing with POTENTIAL-CONFLICT. This patch allows
1383 the primary to accept the secondary moving from POTENTIAL-CONFLICT to
1384 RESOLUTION-INTERRUPTED as well as handling the bind update process better.
1385 In addition the code to resend update or update all requests has been
1386 modified to send requests more often.
1387 [ISC-Bugs #36810]
1388 [ISC-Bugs #20352]
1389
1390- By default, the server will now choose the value to use in the forward DNS
1391 name from the following in order of preference:
1392
1393 1. FQDN option if provided by the client
1394 2. Host name option if provided by the client
1395 3. Configured option host-name if defined
1396
1397 As before, this may be overridden by defining ddns-hostname to the desired
1398 value (or expression). In addition, the server logic has been extended to
1399 use the value of the host name declaration if use-host-decl-names is enabled
1400 and no other value is available.
1401 [ISC-Bugs #21323]
1402
1403- DNS updates were being attempted when dhcp-cache-threshold enabled the use of
1404 the existing lease and the forward DNS name had not changed. This has been
1405 corrected.
1406 [ISC-Bugs #37368]
1407 [ISC-Bugs #38636]
1408
1409- Corrected an issue which caused dhclient to incorrectly form the result when
1410 prepending or appending to the IPv4 domain-search option, received from the
1411 server, when either of the values being combined contain compressed
1412 components.
1413 [ISC-Bugs #20558]
1414
1415- Added the server-id-check parameter to the server configuration.
1416 This parameter allows run-time control over whether or not a server,
1417 participating in failover, verifies the dhcp-server-identifier option in
1418 DHCP REQUESTs against the server's id before processing the request.
1419 Formerly, enabling this behavior was done at compilation time through
1420 the use of the #define, SERVER_ID_CHECK, which has been removed from site.h
1421 The functionality is now only available through the new runtime parameter.
1422 [ISC-Bugs #37551]
1423
1424- During startup, when the server encounters a lease whose binding state is
1425 FTS_BACKUP but whose pool has no configured failover peer, it will reset the
1426 lease's binding state to FTS_FREE. This allows the leases to be reclaimed
1427 by the server after a pool's configuration has changed from failover to
1428 standalone. Prior to this such leases would remain stuck in the backup state
1429 making them unavailable for assignment. Note this conversion will occur
1430 whether or not the server is compiled for failover.
1431 [ISC-Bugs #36960]
1432
1433- Fixed a small issue in the treatment of hosts in the inform processing
1434 that could cause the response to an inform to include information from
1435 the wrong scope. The two examples we've heard of are getting subnet
1436 instead of group information associated with a host entry, or getting
1437 global information instead of subnet if the host entry was built via
1438 omapi. Thanks to Julien Soula at University of Lille for finding the
1439 bug and supplying a patch.
1440 [ISC-Bugs #35712]
1441
1442- Avoid calling pool_timer() recursively from supersede_lease(). This could
1443 result in leases changing state incorrectly or delaying the running of the
1444 leae expiration code.
1445 [ISC-Bugs #38002]
1446
1447- Move the check for a PID file and process to be before we rewrite the
1448 lease file. This avoids the possibility of starting a second instance
1449 of a server which changes the current lease file confusing the first
1450 instance. This check is only included if the admin hasn't disabled PID
1451 files.
1452 [ISC-Bugs #38078]
1453 [ISC-Bugs #38143]
1454
1455- In the client code change the way preferred_life and max_life are printed
1456 for environment variables to be unsigned rather than signed.
1457 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the bug report and patch.
1458 [ISC-Bugs #37084]
1459
1460- Modified Linux packet handling such that packets received via VLAN are now
1461 seen only by the VLAN interface. Prior to this, such packets were seen by
1462 both the VLAN interface and its parent (physical) interface, causing the
1463 server to respond to both. Note this remains an issue for non-Linux OSs.
1464 Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the patch.
1465 [ISC-Bugs #37415]
1466 [ISC-Bugs #37133]
1467 [ISC-Bugs #36668]
1468 [ISC-Bugs #36652]
1469
1470- Log content has been changed to more directly suggest that admins should
1471 check for multiple IPv6 clients attempting to use the same DUID when only
1472 abandoned addresses are available. Debug level logging will now emit counts
1473 of the total number of, in-use, and abandoned addresses in a shared subnet
1474 when the server finds no addresses available for a given DUID. Lastly,
1475 threshold logging is now automatically disabled for shared subnets whose
1476 total number of possible addresses exceeds (2^64)-1.
1477 [ISC-Bugs #26376]
1478 [ISC-Bugs #38131]
1479
1480- Added a global parameter, prefix-length-mode, which may be used to determine
1481 how the server uses a non-zero value for prefix-length supplied by clients
1482 when soliciting DHCPv6 prefixes. The server supports selection modes of:
1483 ignore, prefer, exact, minimum and maximum which are described in detail in
1484 the server man pages. The prior behavior of the server was to only offer a
1485 prefix whose length exactly matched the prefix-length value requested. If
1486 no such prefixes were available, the server returned a status of none
1487 available. Note the default mode, "exact", provides this same behavior.
1488 [ISC-Bugs #36780]
1489 [ISC-Bugs #32228]
1490
1491- Corrected inconsistencies in dhcrelay's setting the upper interface hop count
1492 limit such that it now sets it to 32 when the upstream address is a multicast
1493 address per RFC 3315 Section 20. Prior to this if the -u argument preceded
1494 the -l argument on the command line or if the same interface was specified
1495 for both; the logic to set the hop limit count for the upper interface was
1496 skipped. This caused the hop count limit to be set to the default value
1497 (typically 1) in the outbound upstream packets.

1651 Changes since 4.3.0a1
1652
1653- Modify the message displayed when a process hits a fatal error.
1654 The new message is much shorter and simply points to the README
1655 and our website for directions on bug submissions.
1656 [ISC-Bugs #24789]

6980ae03 1658 Changes since 4.2.0 (new features)
51b8a8a0
SR
1659
1660- If a client renews before 'dhcp-cache-threshold' percent of its lease
1661 has elapsed (default 25%), the server will reuse the allocated lease
1662 (provide a lease within the currently allocated lease-time) rather
1663 than extend or renew the lease. This absolves the server of needing
1664 to perform an fsync() operation on the lease database before reply,
1665 which improves performance. [ISC-Bugs #22228]
80778e94 1666 Updated this patch to support asynchronous DDNS. If the server is
adb95d23 1667 attempting to do DDNS on a lease it should be updated and written to
4809ef5c 1668 disk even if that wouldn't be necessary due to the thresholding.
8cd88e20 1669 [ISC-Bugs #26311]
51b8a8a0 1670
6980ae03
SR
1671- The 'no available billing' log line now also logs the name of the last
1672 matching billing class tried before failing to provide a billing.
1673 [ISC-Bugs #21759]
1674
32e651c4
SR
1675- A problem with missing get_hw_addr function when --enable-use-sockets
1676 was used is now solved on GNU/Linux, BSD and GNU/Hurd systems. Note
1677 that use-sockets feature was not tested on those systems. Client and
1678 server code no longer use MAX_PATH constant that is not defined on
3cb6f9bb 1679 GNU/Hurd systems. [ISC-Bugs #25979]
32e651c4 1680
67418698
SR
1681- Add a perl script in the contrib directory, dhcp-lease-list.pl, which
1682 can parse v4 lease files and output the lease information in a more
1683 human friendly manner. This was written by Christian Hammers with
1684 some updates by vom and ISC. This is contributed code and is not
1685 supported by ISC; however it may be useful to some users.
1686 [ISC-Bugs #20680]
1687
a7341359 1688- Add support in v6 for on-commit, on-expire and on-release.
4809ef5c 1689 [ISC-Bugs #27912]
a7341359 1690
01fa619f
SR
1691- Add support for using classes with v6.
1692 [ISC-Bugs #26510]
1693
d7d9c0c7
SR
1694- Update the DDNS code to current standards and allow for sharing
1695 of DDNS entries between v4 and v6 clients. The new code is used
1696 if the ddns-update-style is set to "standard", the older code is
1697 still available if ddns-update-style is set to "interim". The
1698 oldest DDNS code "ad-hoc" has been removed. Thanks to Thomas Pegeot
1699 who submitted a patch for this issue. This patch is based on
1700 that work with some modifications.
64fb661c 1701 [ISC-Bugs #21139]
1534fff7 1702
cde11a4c
SR
1703- Add a configuration option to the server to suppress using fsync().
1704 Enabling this option will mean that fsync() is never called. This
1705 may provide better performance but there is also a risk that a lease
1706 will not be properly written to the disk after it has been issued
1707 to a client and before the server stops. Using this option is
1708 not recommended.
64fb661c 1709 [ISC-Bugs #34810]
cde11a4c 1710
f88446f1
SR
1711- Add some logging statements to indicate when the server is ready
1712 to serve. One statement is emitted after the server has finished
1713 reading its files and is about to enter the dispatch loop.
1714 This is "Server starting service.".
1715 The second is emitted when a server determines that both it and
1716 its failover peer are in the normal state.
1717 This is "failover peer <name>: Both servers normal."
64fb661c 1718 [ISC-Bugs #33208]
f88446f1 1719
619304cd
SR
1720- Add support for accessing options from v6 relays. The v6relay
1721 statement allows the administrator to choose which relay to
1722 use when searching for an option, see the dhcp-options man page
6b9c9f87
SR
1723 for a description. The host-identifier option has also been
1724 updated to support the use of relay options, see the dhcpd.conf
619304cd
SR
1725 man page for a description.
1726 [ISC-Bugs #19598]
1727
e54ff84f 1728- When doing DDNS if there isn't an appropriate zone statement attempt
80778e94 1729 to find a reasonable nameserver via a DNS resolver. This restores
e54ff84f
SR
1730 some functionality that was lost in the transition to asynchronous
1731 DDNS. Due to the lack of security and increase in fragility of the
1732 system when using this feature we strongly recommend the use of
1733 appropriate zone statements rather than using this functionality.
1734 [ISC-Bugs #30461]
1735
61ef216b
SR
1736- Add support for specifying the address from which to send
1737 DDNS updates on the DHCP server. There are two new options
1738 "ddns-local-address4" and "ddns-local-address6" that each take
1739 one instance of their respective address types.
1740 [ISC-Bugs #34779]
4d079f0e 1741
38ee81bd
SR
1742- Add ignore-client-uids option in the server. This option causes
1743 the server to not record a client's uid in its lease. This
1744 violates the specification but may also be useful when a client
1745 can dual boot using different client ids but the same mac address.
6b9c9f87 1746 Thank you to Brian De Wolf at Cal Poly Pomona for the patch.
38ee81bd
SR
1747 [ISC-Bugs #32427]
1748 [ISC-Bugs #35066]
4d079f0e
SR
1749
1750- Extend the DHCPINFORM processing to honor the subnet selection option
1751 and take host declarations into account.
1752 Thanks to Christof Chen for testing and submitting the patch.
1753 [ISC-Bugs #35015]
1754
fe2ac9e3
SR
1755- Extend the hardware expression to look into the lease structure
1756 for a hardware address if there is no packet. This allows the
1757 server to find the hardware address during on-expiry processing.
1758 [ISC-Bugs #24584]
61ef216b 1759
bc30c84e
SR
1760- Add definitions for some options that have been specified by the IETF.

bc30c84e 1763
01a44a77 1764 Changes since 4.2.0 (bug fixes)
8ee352ee 1765
01a44a77
SR
1766- When using 'ignore client-updates;', the FQDN returned to the client
1767 is no longer truncated to one octet.
8ee352ee 1768
01a44a77 1769- Cleaned up an unused hardware address variable in nak_lease().
4889a646 1770
01a44a77
SR
1771- Manpage entries for the ia-pd and ia-prefix options were updated to
1772 reflect support for prefix delegation.
4889a646 1773
01a44a77 1774- Cleaned up some compiler warnings
7dc4e69c 1775
01a44a77
SR
1776- An optimization described in the failover protocol draft is now included,
1777 which permits a DHCP server operating in communications-interrupted state
1778 to 'rewind' a lease to the state most recently transmitted to its peer,
1779 greatly increasing a server's endurance in communications-interrupted.
1780 This is supported using a new 'rewind state' record on the dhcpd.leases
1781 entry for each lease.
c5bc8b1a 1782
01a44a77 1783- Fix the trace code which was broken by the changes to the DDNS code.
d0a10f6a 1784
01a44a77
SR
1785- Update the fsync code to work with the changes to the DDNS code. It now
1786 uses a timer instead of noticing if there are no more packets to process.
dc9d7b08 1787
01a44a77
SR
1788- When constructing the DNS name structure from a text string append
1789 the root to relative names. This satisfies a requirement in the DNS
1790 library that names be absolute instead of relative and prevents DHCP
1791 from crashing. [ISC-Bugs #21054]
a24b9f23 1792
01a44a77
SR
1793- "The LDAP Patch" that has been circulating for some time, written by
1794 Brian Masney and S.Kalyanasundraram and maintained for application to
1795 the DHCP-4 sources by David Cantrell has been included. Please be
1796 advised that these sources were contributed, and do not yet meet the
1797 high standards we place on production sources we include by default.
1798 As a result, the LDAP features are only included by using a compile-time
1799 option which defaults off, and if you enable it you do so under your
1800 own recognizance. We will be improving this software over time.
1801 [ISC-Bugs #17741]
c5bc8b1a 1802
01a44a77
SR
1803- Prohibit including lease time information in a response to a DHCP INFORM.
1804 [ISC-Bugs #21092]
cc17cbc3 1805
01a44a77
SR
1806! Accept a client id of length 0 while hashing. Previously the server would
1807 exit if it attempted to hash a zero length client id, providing attackers
1808 with a simple denial of service attack. [ISC-Bugs #21253]
1809 CERT: VU#541921 - CVE: CVE-2010-2156
08b2d347 1810
01a44a77 1811- A memory leak in ddns processing was closed. [ISC-Bugs #21377]
08b2d347 1812
01a44a77
SR
1813- Modify the exception handling for initial context creation. Previously
1814 we would try and clean up before exiting. This could present problems
1815 when the cleanup required part of the context that wasn't available. It
1816 also didn't do much as we exited afterwards anyway. Now we simply log
1817 the error and exit. [ISC-Bugs #21093]
ad4001ce 1818
01a44a77
SR
1819- A bug was fixed that could cause the DHCPv6 server to advertise/assign a
1820 previously allocated (active) lease to a client that has changed subnets,
1821 despite being on different shared networks. Dynamic prefixes specifically
1822 allocated in shared networks also now are not offered if the client has
1823 moved. [ISC-Bugs #21152]
3cb6f9bb 1824
01a44a77 1825- Add some debugging output for use with the DDNS code. [ISC-Bugs #20916]
f6dc164f 1826
01a44a77
SR
1827- Fix the trace code to handle timing events better and to truncate a file
1828 before using instead of overwriting it. [ISC-Bugs #20969]
4b8251a0 1829
01a44a77
SR
1830- Modify the determination of the default TTL to use for DDNS updates.
1831 The user may still configure the ttl via ddns-ttl. The default for
1832 both v4 and v6 is now 1/2 the (preferred) lease time with a limit. The
1833 previous defaults (1/2 lease time without a limit for v4 and a default
1834 value for v6) may be used by defining USE_OLD_DDNS_TTL in site.h
1835 [ISC-Bugs #21126]
47e8308d 1836
01a44a77
SR
1837- libisc/libdns is now brought up to version 9.7.1rc1. This corrects
1838 three reported flaws in ISC DHCP;
d9b5c150 1839
01a44a77
SR
1840 o DHCP processes (dhcpd, dhclient) fail to start if one of either the
1841 IPv4 or IPv6 address families is not present. [ISC-Bugs #21122]
08e6dad9 1842
01a44a77
SR
1843 o Assertion failure when attempting to cancel a previously running DDNS
1844 update. [ISC-Bugs #21133]
9f9265b6 1845
01a44a77
SR
1846 o Compilation failure of libisc/libdns due to the use of a flexible
1847 array member. [ISC-Bugs #21316]
9f9265b6 1848
01a44a77 1849- Add declaration for variable in debug code in alloc.c. [ISC-Bugs #21472]
35de6c8c 1850
01a44a77
SR
1851- Documentation cleanup covering multiple tickets
1852 [ISC-Bugs #20265] [ISC-Bugs #20259] minor cleanup
1853 [ISC-Bugs #20263] add text describing some default values
1854 [ISC-Bugs #20193] single quotes at the start of a line indicate a control
1855 line to nroff, escape them if we actually want a quote.
1856 [ISC-Bugs #18916] sync the pointer to web pages amongst the different docs
de87ffe3 1857
01a44a77
SR
1858- 'get-host-names true;' now also works even if 'use-host-decl-names true;'
1859 was also configured. The nature of this repair also fixes another
1860 error; the host-name supplied by a client is no longer overridden by a
1861 reverse lookup of the lease address. Thanks to a patch from Wilco Baan
1862 Hofman supplied to us by the Debian package maintenance team.

1865- The .TH tag for the dhcp-options manpage was typo repaired
1866 thanks to a report from jidanni and the Debian package maintenance
1867 team. [ISC-Bugs #21676] {Debian Bug#563613}
3bedb117 1868
01a44a77
SR
1869- More documentation changes - primarily to put the options in the dhclient
1870 and dhcpd man pages into the standard form. Thanks in part to a patch
1871 from David Cantrell at Red Hat.
1872 [ISC-Bugs #20264] and parts of [ISC-Bugs #17744] dhclient.8 changes
18a28679 1873
01a44a77
SR
1874- Add code to clear the pointer to an object in an OMAPI handle when the
1875 object is freed due to a dereference. [ISC-Bugs #21306]
0b2ec8c9 1876
01a44a77
SR
1877- Fixed a bug that leaks host record references onto lease structures,
1878 causing the server to apply configuration intended for one host to any
1879 other innocent clients that come along later. [ISC-Bugs #22018]
67b2cb45 1880
01a44a77
SR
1881- Minor code fixes
1882 [ISC-Bugs #19566] When trying to find the zone for a name for ddns allow
1883 the name to be at the apex of the zone.
1884 [ISC-Bugs #19617] Restrict length of interface name read from command line
1885 in dhcpd - based on a patch from David Cantrell at Red Hat.
1886 [ISC-Bugs #20039] Correct some error messages in dhcpd.c
1887 [ISC-Bugs #20070] Better range check on values when creating a DHCID.
9a111ee8 1888 [ISC-Bugs #20198] Avoid writing past the end of the field when adding
01a44a77
SR
1889 overly long file or server names to a packet and add a log message
1890 if the configuration supplied overly long names for these fields.
1891 Thanks to Martin Pala.
1892 [ISC-Bugs #21497] Add a little more randomness to rng seed in client
1893 thanks to a patch from Jeremiah Jinno.
74977c94 1894
01a44a77 1895- Correct error handling in DLPI [ISC-Bugs #20378]

01a44a77
SR
1897- Remove __sun__ and __hpux__ typedefs in osdep.h as they are now being
1898 checked in configure. [ISC-Bugs #20443]
dbd65517 1899
01a44a77
SR
1900- Modify how the cmsg header is allocated the v6 send and received routines
1901 to compile on more compilers. [ISC-Bugs #20524]
0f750c4f 1902
01a44a77

1903- When parsing a domain name free the memory for the name after we are
1904 done with it. [ISC-Bugs #20824]
b95f1ee0 1905
01a44a77
SR
1906- Add an elapsed time option to the release message and refactor the
1907 code to move most of the common code to a single routine.
1908 [ISC-Bugs #21171].
b95f1ee0 1909

1910- Two identical log messages for commit_leases() have been disambiguated.
1911 [ISC-Bugs #18915]
0ef9a46e 1912
01a44a77
SR
1913- Parse date strings more properly - the code now handles semi-colons in
1914 date strings correctly. Thanks to a patch from Jiri Popelka at Red Hat.

de6c9af6 1916
01a44a77
SR
1917- Fixes to lease input and output.
1918 [ISC-Bugs #20418] - Some systems don't support the "%s" argument to
1919 strftime, paste together the same string using mktime instead.
1920 [ISC-Bugs #19596] - When parsing iaid values accept printable
1921 characters.
1922 [ISC-Bugs #21585] - Always print time values in omshell as hex
1923 instead of ascii if the values happen to be printable characters.
87132514 1924
01a44a77
SR
1925- Minor changes for scripts, configure.ac and Makefiles
1926 [ISC-Bugs #19147] Use domain-search instead of domain-name in manual and
1927 example conf file. Thanks to a patch from David Cantrell
1928 at Red Hat.
1929 [ISC-Bugs #19761] Restore address when doing a rebind in DHCPv6

b047bd38 1933
01a44a77
SR
1934- Update the code to parse dhcpv6 lease files to accept a semi-colon at
1935 the end of the max-life and preferred-life clauses. In order to be
1936 backwards compatible with older lease files not finding a semi-colon
1937 is also accepted. [ISC-Bugs #22303].

1946 on '/usr/lib'. [ISC-Bugs #21967]
d13db163 1947
01a44a77
SR
1948- Handle pipe failures more gracefully. Some OSes pass a SIGPIPE
1949 signal to a process and will kill the process if the signal isn't
1950 caught. This patch adds code to turn off the SIGPIPE signal via
1951 a setsockopt() call. The signal is already being ignored as part
1952 of the ISC library. [ISC-Bugs #22269]
b342f2e7 1953
01a44a77
SR
1954- Restore printing of values in omshell to the style pre 21585. For
1955 21585 we changed the print routines to always display time values
1956 as a hex list. This had a side effect of printing all data strings
1957 as a hex list. We shall investigate other ways of displaying time
1958 values more usefully. [ISC-Bugs #22626]

SR
1960! Fix the handling of connection requests on the failover port.
1961 Previously a connection request from a source that wasn't
1962 listed as a failover peer would cause the server to become
1963 non-responsive. Thanks to a report from Brad Bendily, brad@bendily.com.

1976 Thanks to a report from Jiri Popelka at Red Hat.
1977 [ISC-Bugs #22033], [Red Hat Bug #628258]
bb9189c3 1978
01a44a77
SR
1979- When processing the format flags for a given option consume the
1980 flag indicating an optional value correctly. A symptom of this
1981 bug was an infinite loop when trying to parse the slp-service-scope
1982 option. Thanks to a patch from Marius Tomaschewski.
1983 [ISC-Bugs #22055]
cbbd2714 1984
01a44a77
SR
1985- Disable the use of kqueue in the ISC library. This avoids a problem
1986 between the fork and socket code that caused the dhcpd process to
1987 use all available cpu if the program daemonized itself.
1988 [ISC-Bugs #21911]
d208bb04 1989
01a44a77
SR
1990! When processing a request in the DHCPv6 server code that specifies
1991 an address that is tagged as abandoned (meaning we received a
1992 decline request for it previously) don't attempt to move it from
1993 the inactive to active pool as doing so can result in the server
1994 crashing on an assert failure. Also retag the lease as active

2037- 'dhclient' no longer waits a random interval after first starting up to
2038 begin in the INIT state. This conforms to RFC 2131, but elects not to
9a111ee8 2039 implement a 'SHOULD' direction in section 4.1. The goal of this change
73c83820 2040 is to start up faster. [ISC-Bugs #19660]

2042- Added 'initial-delay' parameter that specifies maximum amount of time
2043 before client goes to the INIT state. The default value is 0. In previous
2044 versions of the code client could wait up to 5 seconds. The old behavior
5d082abd 2045 may be restored by using 'initial-delay 5;' in the client config file.

2048- ICMP ping-check should now sit closer to precisely the number of seconds
2049 configured (or default 1), due to making use of the new microsecond
2050 scale timer internally to dhcpd. This corrects a bug where the server
2051 may immediately timeout an ICMP ping-check if it was made late in the
73c83820 2052 current second. [ISC-Bugs #19660]

2054- The DHCP client will schedule renewal and rebinding events in
2055 microseconds if the DHCP server provided a lease-time that would result
2056 in sub-1-second timers. This corrects a bug where a 2-second or lower
2057 lease-time would cause the DHCP client to enter an infinite loop by
73c83820 2058 scheduling renewal at zero seconds. [ISC-Bugs #19660]

2060- Client lease records are recorded at most once every 15 seconds. This

2064- To defend against RFC 2131 non-compliant DHCP servers which fail to
2065 advertise a lease-time (either mangled, or zero in value) the DHCP
2066 client now adds the server to the reject list ACL and returns to INIT

2302! Previously the server code was relaxed to allow packets with zero
2303 length client ids to be processed. Under some situations use of
2304 zero length client ids can cause the server to go into an infinite
2305 loop. As such ids are not valid according to RFC 2132 section 9.14
2306 the server no longer accepts them. Client ids with a length of 1
2307 are also invalid but the server still accepts them in order to
2308 minimize disruption. The restriction will likely be tightened in
2309 the future to disallow ids with a length of 1.

DH
2485- A new failover configuration parameter has been introduced for those
2486 environments where DHCP servers can be reasonably guaranteed to be
2487 "down" when the failover TCP socket is severed, "auto-partner-down".
2488 This parameter is not generally safe, and by default is disabled, so
2489 please carefully review the documentation of this parameter in the
2490 dhcpd.conf(5) manpage before determining to use it yourself.
2491
33ea4622
DH
2492- Added a configuration function, 'gethostname()', which calls the system
2493 function of the same name and presents the results as a data expression.
2494 This function can be used to incorporate the system level hostname of
2495 the system the DHCP software is operating on in responses or queries (such
2496 as including a failover partner's hostname in a dhcp message or binding
2497 scope, or having a DHCP client send any system hostname in the host-name or
2498 FQDN options by default).

DH
2500- The dhcp-renewal-time and dhcp-rebinding-time options may now be configured
2501 for DHCPv4 operation and used independently of the dhcp-lease-time
2502 calculations. Invalid renew and rebinding times (e.g., greater than the
2503 determined lease time) are omitted.
2504
adb95d23 2505- Processing the DHCP to DNS server transactions in an asynchronous fashion,
45adf35c 2506 the DHCP server or client can now continue with its processing while
98bf1607 2507 awaiting replies from the DNS server.

2520 which is seen in some malformed DHCP client packets, was modified.
2521 It now logs the universe name, and does not log the length values
2522 (which are bogus corruption read from the packet anyway). It also
2523 carries a hopefully more useful explanation.

DH
2551- A bug in DLPI packet transmission (Solaris, HP/UX) that caused the server
2552 to stop receiving packets is fixed. The same fix also means that the MAC
2553 address will no longer appear 'bogus' on DLPI-based systems.
2554
2555- A bug in select handling was discovered where the results of one select()
2556 call were discarded, causing the server to process the next select() call
2557 and use more system calls than required. This has been repaired - the
2558 sockets will be handled after the first return from select(), resulting in
2559 fewer system calls.
2560
a3dcc0b1
DH
2561- The update-conflict-detection feature would leave an FQDN updated without
2562 a DHCID (still currently implemented as a TXT RR). This would cause later
2563 expiration or release events to fail to remove the domain name. The feature
2564 now also inserts the client's up to date DHCID record, so records may safely
2565 be removed at expiration or release time. Thanks to a patch submitted by
2566 Christof Chen.
2567
95fd7038
DH
2568- Memory leak in the load_balance_mine() function is fixed. This would
2569 leak ~20-30 octets per DHCPDISCOVER packet while failover was in use
2570 and in normal state.

2584- Compilation on Solaris with USE_SOCKETS defined in includes/site.h has
2585 been repaired. Other USE_ overrides should work better.

2588 that probably still resulted in the correct behaviour (but wouldn't use
2589 a larger defined value provided by the host OS).
2590

2592 in scheduling a failover reconnection, if the link had not negotiated a

2594 timeouts).

2600 remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands as root on the system,

DH
2618- Secondary servers in a failover pair will now perform ddns removals if
2619 they had performed ddns updates on a lease that is expiring, or was
2620 released through the primary. As part of the same fix, stale binding scopes
2621 will now be removed if a change in identity of a lease's active client is
2622 detected, rather than simply if a lease is noticed to have expired (which it
2623 may have expired without a failover server noticing in some situations).
2624
583c1c16
DH
2625- A patch supplied by David Cantrell at RedHat was applied that detects
2626 invalid calling parameters given to the ns_name_ntop() function.
2627 Specifically, it detects if the caller passed a pointer and size pair
2628 that causes the pointer to integer-wrap past zero.

2635
2267da84
DH
2636- Both host and subnet6 configuration groups are now included whether a
2637 fixed-address6 (DHCPv6) is in use or not. Host scoped configuration takes
2638 precedence. This fixes two bugs, one where host scoped configuration
2639 would not be included from a non-fixed-address6 host record, and the equal
2640 and opposite bug where subnet6 scoped configuration would not be used when
571c38b0 2641 over-riding values were not present in a matching fixed-address6 host

0493fdca
SR
2647- Modified the handling of a connection to avoid releasing the omapi io
2648 object for the connection while it is still in use. One symptom from
2649 this error was a segfault when a failover secondary attempted to connect
2650 to the failover primary if their clocks were not synchronized.

95bba8b6
SR
2652- Clean up to allow compilation with gcc 2.95.4 on FreeBSD. Remove an
2653 extra semi-colon from common/dns.c and moved setting a variable to NULL
2654 in server/dhcpv6.c to allow the compiler to decide that the variable
9a111ee8 2655 was always properly set.

2761- A bug in subnet6 parsing where options contained in subnet6 clauses would
2762 not be applied to clients addressed within that network was repaired.
2763
2764- When configuring a "subnet {}" or "subnet6 {}" without an explicit
2765 shared-network enclosing it, the DHCP software would synthesize a
2766 shared-network to contain the subnet. However, all configuration
2767 parameters within the subnet more intuitively belong "to any client
2768 on that interface", or rather the synthesized shared-network. So,
2769 when a shared-network is synthesized, it is used to contain the
2770 configuration present inside the subnet {} clause. This means that
2771 the configuration will be valid for all clients on that network, not
2772 just those addressed out of the stated subnet. If you intended the
2773 opposite, the workaround is to explicitly configure an empty
2774 shared-network.

2776- A bug was fixed where Information-Request processing was not sourcing
2777 configured option values.
2778
2779- A warning was added since the DHCPv6 processing software does not yet
2780 support class statements.
2781
adb95d23 2782- Compilation warnings on GCC 4.3 relating to bootp source address
dd484ced
DH
2783 selection were repaired.
2784
ecddae64
DH
2785- The v6 BSD socket method was updated to use a single UDP BSD socket
2786 no matter how many interfaces are involved, differentiating the
2787 interfaces the packets were received on by the interface index supplied
2788 by the OS.
2789
2790- The relay agent no longer listens to the All DHCP Servers Multicast
2791 address.
2792
2793- A bug was fixed in data_string_sprintfa() where va_start was only called
2794 once for two invocations of vsprintf() variants.
2795
d104d45b
DH
2796- ERO (RFC 4994) server support.
2797
2798- Basic and partial DHCPv6 leasequery support.
2799
2800- Reliable DHCPv6 release (previous behavior, send release and exit, is
2801 still available with dhclient -6 -1 -r).
2802
01a54c17 2803 Changes since 4.0.0 (new features)
3c12f746 2804
6d7f9584
FD
2805- Added DHCPv6 rapid commit support.
2806
4cafb815 2807- Added explicit parser support for zero-length DHCP options, such as
6d7f9584 2808 rapid-commit, via format code 'Z'.
4cafb815 2809
022fe95e
EH
2810- It's now possible to update the "ends" field of a lease with OMAPI.
2811 This is useful if you want not only to release a lease, but also make
2812 it available for reuse right away. Hat tip to Christof Chen.
2813
9a111ee8 2814- Fixed definition of the iaaddr hash functions to use the correct
1dcc3612
SK
2815 functions when referencing and dereferencing memory.
2816
aabfa4de
FD
2817- Some definitions not in phase with the IANA registry were updated.
2818
0674055a
FD
2819- Allocated interface IDs are better controlled ('u' bit set to zero,
2820 reserved IDs avoided).
2821
b51c785f
FD
2822- Unicast options are taken into account only for RENEWs.
2823
900405e9
FD
2824- NoAddrsAvail answers to SOLICITs are always ADVERTISEs even when a SOLICIT
2825 carries a rapid-commit option.
2826
96b620e5
FD
2827- Return in place of raise an impossible condition when one tries to release
2828 an empty active lease.
2829
be62cf06
FD
2830- Timer granularity is now 1/100s in the DHCPv6 client.
2831
01a54c17
EH
2832- The dhclient-script was updated to create a host route for the default
2833 gateway if the supplied subnet mask for an IPv4 address was a /32. This
2834 allows the client to work in 'captive' network environments, where the
2835 operator does not want clients to crosstalk directly.
2836
adb95d23 2837- MINUS tokens should be parsable again.
01a54c17
EH
2838
2839- Multiple (up to "delayed-ack x;" maximum) DHCPv4 packets are now queued and
2840 released in bursts after single fsync() events when the upper limit is
2841 reached or if the receiving sockets go dry. The practical upshot is
2842 that fsync-coupled server performance is now multiplicitively increased.
2843 The default delayed ack limit is 28. Thanks entirely to a patch from
2844 Christof Chen.
2845
2846 Changes since 4.0.0 (bug fixes)
2847
2848- DHCP now builds on AIX.
2849
2850- Exit with warning when DHCPv6-specific statements are used in the
2851 config file but -6 is not specified.
2852
2853- Fixed "--version" flag in dhcrelay
2854
2855- The 'min-secs' configuration parameter's log message has been updated to
2856 be more helpful.
2857
2858- The warning logged when an address range doesn't fit in the subnets
2859 they were declared has been updated to be more helpful and identify the
2860 typo in configuration that created the spanning addresses.
2861
2862- A bug in failover pool rebalancing that caused POOLREQ message ping-pongs
2863 was repaired.
2864
2865- A flaw in failover pool rebalancing that could cause POOLREQ messages to
2866 be sent outside of the min-balance/max-balance scheduled intervals has
2867 been repaired.
2868
2869- A cosmetic bug during potential-conflict recovery that caused the peer's
2870 'conflict-done' state message to be logged as 'unknown-state' has been
2871 repaired. It is now logged correctly.
2872
49f61135
DH
2873- A bug was fixed where the 'giaddr' may be used to find the client's subnet
2874 rather than its own 'ciaddr'.
2875
41d4652f
DH
2876- A log message was introduced to clarify the situation where a failover
2877 'address' parameter (the server's local address) did not resolve to an
2878 IPv4 address.
2879
2c9bf1f4
DH
2880- The minimum site code value was set to 224 in 3.1.0 to track RFC3942. This
2881 broke a lot of legacy site local configurations. The new code in place will
2882 track site local space minimum option codes and logs a warning to encourage
2883 updates and exploration of site local code migration problems. Option
2884 codes less than 128 in site local spaces remain inaccessible.
2885
2886- A possible relay agent option bug was repaired where random server
2887 initialization state may have been used to signal the relay agent
2888 information options sub-option code for the 'END' of the option space.
2889
cff9b78f
SK
2890- Fixes to allow code to compile and run on Solaris 9.
2891
c4d29896
SK
2892- Fixes to allow code to compile on Mac OS X Leopard (10.5).
2893
57fcb8d9
SK
2894- When server is configured with options that it overrides, a warning is
2895 issued when the configuration file is read, rather than at the time the
2896 option is overridden. This was important, because the warning was given
9a111ee8 2897 every time the option was overridden, which could create a lot of
57fcb8d9
SK
2898 unnecessary logging.
2899
219a65eb
DH
2900- Fixed a compilation problems on platforms that define a value for FDDI,
2901 which conflicts with a dhcp configuration syntax token by the same name.
2902
ffdf3c8c
DH
2903- When a failover server suspects it has encountered a peer running a
2904 version 3.0.x failover server, a warning that the failover wire protocol
2905 is incompatible is printed.
2906
2907- The failover server no longer issues a floating point error if it encounters
2908 a previously undefined option code.
2909
00a002fc
MA
2910- Fix startup error messages to report a missing "subnet6 declaration", rather
2911 than a missing "subnet declaration", when running as a DHCPv6 server.
2912
9a111ee8 2913- DHCPv6 client timestamp in DUID was based on the year 1970 rather
7e9f7a1b
FD
2914 than the year 2000.
2915
e2cfde76
FD
2916- Warn when attempting to use a hardware parameter in DHCPv6.
2917
cabdb9b1
FD
2918- DHCPv6 released resources are now marked as released by the client.
2919
5d89d60f
FD
2920- 'Soft' bindings have no more side-effects.
2921
61d75ea2
DH
2922 Changes since 4.0.0b3
2923
2924- The reverse dns name for PTR updates on IPv6 addresses has been fixed to
2925 use ip6.arpa. rather than default to in-addr.arpa and require user
2926 configuration.
76db44f9 2927
e32529a5
EH
2928- dhc6_lease_destroy() and dhc6_ia_destroy() now set lease and IA pointers
2929 to NULL after freeing, to prevent subsequent accesses to freed memory.
2930
9a111ee8 2931- The DHCPv6 server would not send the preference option unless the
76db44f9
SK
2932 client requested it, via the ORO. This has been fixed, so the DHCPv6
2933 server will always send the preference value if it is configured.
e4a6be15 2934
9a111ee8
TM
2935- When addresses were passed as hints to the server in an IA, they were
2936 incorrectly handled, sometimes being treated as an error. Now the
6f76de58
SK
2937 server will treat these as hints and ignore them if it cannot supply
2938 a requested address.
2939
703873ab
DH
2940- If the client had multiple addresses, and one expired (was not renewed
2941 by the server), the client would continue to attempt to renew the same
2942 old address over and over. Now, the client will omit any expired
2943 addresses from future Confirm, Renew, or Rebind messages.
2944
2945- dhclient -6 will now select renew/rebind timers based upon the longest
2946 address expiration time rather than the shortest expiration time, in
2947 order to avoid cascading renewals in the event a server elects not to
2948 extend one of multiple IAADDR leases.
2949
b024480e
DH
2950- The server now limits clients that request multiple addresses to one
2951 address per IA by default, which can be adjusted through the
2952 "limit-addrs-per-ia" configuration option.
2953
c0216cb7
DH
2954- The DHCPv6 client now issues fresh transaction IDs on Renew and Rebind
2955 message exchanges, rather than using the most recent ID.
2956
1ac57173
FD
2957- The DHCPv6 server now replies to Information-Request messages.
2958
83835822
DH
2959- A bug was fixed in the dhclient-script for BSDs to correctly carry error
2960 codes through some conditions.
2961
c54db708
FD
2962- The parsing of some options in the dhclient lease file, in particular
2963 the success DHCPv6 status-code, was fixed.
2964
e5d83524
DH
2965- A bug was fixed that caused the DHCPv6 ORO option to be corrupted with
2966 seemingly random values.
2967
821f2dda
DH
2968- A reference overleak in DHCPv6 shared network processing was repaired.
2969
f8b3c6f4
DH
2970- ./configure now autodetects local database locations rather than trying
2971 to put dhcpd.leases and dhclient.leases in /usr/local/var/db, which no
2972 one ever has.
2973
9a111ee8
TM
2974- Regression fix for bug where server advertised a IPv6 address in
2975 response to a SOLICIT but would not return the address in response
b9137d42
SK
2976 to a REQUEST.
2977
9f1d5a2f
DH
2978- A bug was fixed where the DHCPv6 server puts the NoAddrsAvail status
2979 code in the IA_NA was fixed. The status code now appears in the root
2980 level.
2981
e4a6be15
DH
2982 Changes since 4.0.0b2
2983
65cf86d7
EH
2984- Clarified error message when lease limit exceeded
2985
b1d3778c
DH
2986- Relative time may now be used as a qualifier for 'allow' and 'deny' access
2987 control lists. These directives may be used to assist in re-addressing
2988 address pools without having to constantly reconfigure the server. Please
2989 see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more information on allow/deny 'after time' syntax.
2990 Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen.
2991
bead14ea
DH
2992- The server will now include multiple IA_NA's and multiple IAADDRs within
2993 them, if advertised by the client. It still only seeks to allocate one
2994 new address.
2995
f765ec36
SK
2996 Changes since 4.0.0b1
2997
75135a3f 2998- Use different paths for PID and lease files when running in DHCPv4
adb95d23 2999 or DHCPv6 mode, so that servers for both protocols can be run
75135a3f
EH
3000 simultaneously on a single interface.
3001
5c2d55c7
EH
3002- Fixed a buffer overflow error which could have allowed a denial
3003 of service under unusual server configurations
3004
3005- Eliminated a spurious error message from the client
3006
9a111ee8 3007- A number of bugs with the internal handling of lease state on the
f765ec36 3008 server have been fixed. Some of these could cause server crashes.
fa9b593d 3009
edb1283e
DH
3010- The peer_wants_leases() changes pulled up from 3.1.0 were corrected,
3011 'never used' leases will no longer consistently shift between servers
3012 on every pool rebalance run.
3013
c71c6399
DH
3014- sendmsg()/recvmsg() control buffers are now declared in such a way to
3015 ensure they are correctly aligned on all (esp. 64-bit) architectures.
3016
5279b8f3
DH
3017- The client leasing subsystem was streamlined and corrected to account
3018 more closely for changes in client link attachment selection.
3019
ab3a540f 3020 Changes since 4.0.0a3
763cba6b 3021
9a111ee8 3022- The DHCP server no longer requires a "ddns-update-style" statement,
884a458f
SK
3023 and now defaults to "none", which means DNS updates are disabled.
3024
fa9b593d
DH
3025- Log messages when failover peer names mismatch have been improved to
3026 point out the problem.
3027
9a111ee8 3028- Bug where server advertised a IPv6 address in response to a SOLICIT
1b5053b5
SK
3029 but would not return the address in response to a REQUEST. Thanks to
3030 Dennis Kou for finding the bug.
3031
c886c298
SK
3032- Fixed an error causing the server to lock up on lease expiration,
3033 reported independently by Jothilingam Vasu and Dennis Kou.
3034
eaf7eb17
DH
3035- Fixed a ./configure bug where compile tests were failing due to
3036 "-Werror" (unused variable) rather than the actual test failure. Lead
3037 to inconsistent and unworkable auto-configurations.
3038
109e00db
DH
3039- Compilation with DLPI and -Werror has been repaired.
3040
9a111ee8 3041- Error in decoding IA_NA option if multiple interfaces are present
3ad9d48f
SK
3042 fixed by Marcus Goller.
3043
8eab95f2
DH
3044- DHCPv6 server Confirm message processing has been enhanced - it no
3045 longer replies only to clients with host {} records, it now replies
3046 as directed in RFC3315 section 18.2.2 - that is, to all clients
3047 regardless of the existence of bindings.
3048
07b9a351
DH
3049- A core dump during expired lease cleanup has been repaired.
3050
7285af30
DH
3051- DDNS updates state information are now stored in 'binding scopes' that
3052 follow the leases through their lifecycles. This enables DDNS teardowns
3053 on leases that are assigned and expired inbetween a server restart (the
3054 state is recovered from dhcpd.leases). Arbitrary user-specified binding
3055 scopes ('set var = "value";') are not yet supported.

3075- An internal database inconsistency bug was repaired where the server
3076 would segfault if a client attempted to renew a lease that had been
3077 loaded from persistent storage.
3078
45d545f0 3079- 'request' and 'also request' syntaxes have been added to accommodate
0c20eab3
DH
3080 the DHCPv6 client configuration. 'send dhcp6.oro' is no longer
3081 necessary.
3082
9a111ee8
TM
3083- Bug fixed where configuration file parsing did not work with
3084 zero-length options; this made it impossible to set the
f800f4f6
SK
3085 rapid-commit option.

3144
3145- Include the more standard sys/uio.h rather than rely upon other
f66f02cc
DH
3146 header files to include it (fixes a BSD 4.2 compile failure).
3147
3148- Duplicate dhclient-script updates for DHCPv6 to all provided scripts.
a512d11b 3149
4ba58919
DH
3150- DHCPv4 I/O methods that failed to sense hardware address were corrected.
3151
3152- DHCPv4 is now the default (as documented) rather than DHCPv6. The default
3153 was set to DHCPv6 to facilitate ease early development, and forgotten.
3154
3155- Corrected a segmentation violation in DHCPv4 socket processing.
3156
8ea19a71 3157- dhclient will now fork() into the background once it binds to an
45d545f0 3158 IPv6 address, or immediately if the -n flag is supplied.
8ea19a71

98bd7ca0
DH
3169 Changes since 3.1.0 (NEW FEATURES)
3170
3171- DHCPv6 Client and Server protocol support. Use '-6' to run the daemons
3172 as v6-only. Use '-4' to run the daemons as v4-only (default. There is
3173 no support currently for both.
3174
3175- Server support for multiple IA_NA options, containing at most one
3176 IAADDR option.
3177
3178- Client support for one IA_NA option, containing any number of IAADDR
3179 options.
3180
3181- Server support for the DHCPv6 Information-request message.
3182
3183- Inappropriate unicast DHCPv6 messages sent to the server are now
3184 discarded, and this has rearchitected the IO system slightly.
3185
3186- The DHCPv6 server DUID defaults to type 1, is persistently stored in
3187 the leases database, and can be over-ridden (either completely, or by
3188 specifying type 1 or type 2).
3189
3190- The server only uses Rapid-Commit if it has been configured with the
3191 Rapid-Commit option and the client requests it.
3192
3193- DDNS support. We now update AAAA records in the same place we would
3194 update A records, if we have an IPv6 address. We also generate IP6.ARPA
3195 style names for PTR records if we're dealing with an IPv6 address. Both
3196 A and AAAA updates are done using the same 'fqdn.' virtual option space
3197 (although the DHCPv4 FQDN and DHCPv6 FQDN options are formatted
3198 differently, they both use the same code here).
3199
3200- The Linux dhclient-script attempts to set and remove assigned addresses,
3201 and to configure /etc/resolv.conf from nameserver and domain name
3202 configurations. It can be extended to configure other parameters.
3203
3204- Initial DHCPv6 lease support.
3205
3206- The IO system now tracks all local IP addresses, so that the DHCP
3207 applications (particularly the dhcrelay) can discern between what frames
3208 were transmitted to it, and what frames are being carried through it which
3209 it should not intercept.
3210
1418fd11
DH
3211 Changes since 3.1.0 (Maintenance)
3212
3213- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for virgin leases always
3214 mapped to the primary. Virgin leases now have an interleaved preference
3215 between primary and secondary.
3216
3217- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for clients with no client
3218 identifier was sometimes mishashed to the peer. Load balancing during
3219 runtime and pool rebalancing were opposing.
3220
aa3e348e
DH
3221- An assertion in lease counting relating to reserved leases was repaired.
3222
e9c59645
DH
3223- The subnet-mask option inclusion now conforms with RFC2132 section 3.3;
3224 it will only appear prior to the routers option if it is present on the
3225 Parameter-Request-List. The subnet-mask option will also only be
3226 included by default (if it is not on the PRL) in response to DISCOVER
3227 or REQUEST messages.
3228
3229- The FQDN option is only supplied if the client supplied an FQDN option or
3230 if the FQDN option was explicitly requested on the PRL.
3231
c104546d
DH
3232- Dynamic BOOTP leases are now load balanced in failover.
3233
b9d0cc05
DH
3234 Changes since 3.1.0rc1
3235
adb95d23 3236- The parse warning that 'deny dynamic bootp;' must be configured for
b9d0cc05
DH
3237 failover protected subnets was removed.
3238
a512cc3a
DH
3239 Changes since 3.1.0b2
3240
3241- Failover rebalance events no longer play ping pong with round errors
3242 (moving leases between free and back to backup where there are an
3243 odd number of leases).
3244
3245- The 'pool' log line has been split into two messages, one before the
3246 rebalance run, and one after.
3247
3248- Any queued BNDACKs are transmitted before transmitting new BNDUPDs.
3249 This enforces the correct sequence of events for the remote server
3250 processing these messages.
3251
fe5b0fdd 3252 Changes since 3.1.0b1
27837f95 3253
74dc3e0b
EH
3254- Fixed a bug that caused OMAPI clients to freeze when opening lease
3255 objects.
3256
1ba87b37
EH
3257- A new server config option "fqdn-reply" specifies whether the server
3258 should send out option 81 (FQDN). Defaults to "on". If set to "off",
3259 the FQDN option is not sent, even if the client requested it. This is
3260 needed because some clients misbehave otherwise. Thanks to Christof Chen
3261 at Allianz.
3262
a58da042
EH
3263- Allow trace output files (-tf option) to be overwritten, rather than
3264 crashing dhcpd if the file already exists
3265
61252edf
EH
3266- A bug was fixed that caused dhcpd to segfault if a pool was declared
3267 outside the scope of a subnet in dhcpd.conf.
3268
27837f95
DH
3269- Some uninitialized values were repaired in dhcpleasequery.c that
3270 caused the server to abort.
3271
4d2eaafb
DH
3272- A new server config option, 'do-reverse-updates', has been added
3273 which causes the server to abstain from performing updates on PTR
3274 records. Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen at Allianz.
3275
06211b40
DH
3276- A bug was repaired in subencapsulation support, where spaces separated
3277 by empty spaces would not get included.
3278
d6614ea2
DH
3279- A bug in dhclient was repaired which caused it to send parameter request
3280 lists of 55 bytes in length no matter how long the declared PRL was.
3281
132d38f2
DH
3282- 'dhcp.c(3953): non-null pointer' has been repaired. This fixes a flaw
3283 wherein the DHCPv4 server may ignore a configured server-identifier.
3284
fc3b9c90
DH
3285- A flaw in failover startup sequences was repaired that sometimes left
3286 the primary DHCP server's pool rebalance schedules unscheduled.
3287
c9feb859
DH
3288- Corrected a flaw that broke encapsulated spaces included due to presence
3289 on the parameter request list.
3290
c57db45c
SK
3291 Changes since 3.1.0a3
3292
3293- Some spelling fixes.
98311e4b 3294
bd2bc2fa
DH
3295 Changes since 3.1.0a2
3296
3297- A bug was fixed where attempting to permit leasequeries results in a
3298 fatal internal error, "Unable to find server option 49".
3299
85edef5c
DH
3300- A bug was fixed in dhclient rendering the textual output form of the
3301 domain-search option syntax.
3302
bdddcb7d
DH
3303 Changes since 3.1.0a1
3304
3305- A bug in the FQDN universe that added FQDN codes to the NWIP universe's
3306 hash table was repaired.
3307
616d67cb
DH
3308- The servers now try harder to transmit pending binding updates when
3309 entering normal state.
3310
3311- UPDREQ/UPDREQALL handling was optimized - it no longer dequeues and
3312 requeues all pending updates. This should reduce the number of spurious
66c8f734
DH
3313 'xid mismatch' log messages.
3314
3315- An option definition referencing leak was fixed, which resulted in early
3316 termination of dhclient upon the renewal event.
616d67cb 3317
6708d944
DH
3318- Some default hash table sizes were tweaked, some upwards, some downwards.
3319 3.1.0a1's tables resulted in a reduction in default server memory use.
3320 The new selected values provide more of a zero sum (increasing the size
3321 of tables likely to be populated, decreasing the size of tables unlikely).
3322
45d545f0 3323- Lease structures appear in three separate hashes: by IP address, by UID,
6708d944
DH
3324 and by hardware address. One type of table was used for all three, and
3325 improvements to IP address hashing were applied to all three (so UID and
3326 hardware addresses were treated like 4-byte integers). There are now two
3327 types of tables, and the uid/hw hashes use functions more appropriate
3328 to their needs.
3329
3330- The max-lease-misbalance percentage no longer causes scheduled rebalance
3331 runs to be skipped: it still governs the schedule, but every scheduled
3332 run will attempt balance.
3333
a7ee93fe
DH
3334- A segfault bug in recursive encapsulation support has been corrected.
3335
98311e4b
DH
3336 Changes since 3.0 (New Features)
3337
3338- A workaround for certain STSN servers that send a mangled domain-name
3339 option was introduced for dhclient. The client will now accept corrupted
3340 server responses, if they contain a valid DHCP_MESSAGE_TYPE (OFFER, ACK,
3341 or NAK). The server will continue to not accept corrupt client packets.
3342
98bd7ca0 3343- Support for 'reserved' (pseudo-static) and BOOTP leases via failover
a55ccdd0 3344 was introduced.
98311e4b
DH
3345
3346- Support for adding, removing, and managing class and subclass statements
3347 via OMAPI.
3348
a55ccdd0
DH
3349- The failover implementation was updated to comply with revision 12 of
3350 the protocol draft.
3351
98311e4b
DH
3352- 'make install' now creates the initial zero-length dhcpd.leases file if
3353 one does not already exist on the system.
3354
b43c87ad 3355- RFC3942 compliance, site-local option spaces start at 224 now, not 128.
b43c87ad 3356
0b17f049
DH
3357- The Load Balance Algorithm was misimplemented. The current implementation
3358 matches RFC 3074.
3359
2727c1cf
DH
3360- lcase() and ucase() configuration expressions have been added which adjust
3361 their arguments from upper to lower and lower to upper cases respectively.
2714a8ef 3362 Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
2727c1cf 3363
febbd402
DH
3364- The dhclient 'reject ...;' statement, which rejects leases given by named
3365 server-identifiers, now permits address ranges to be specified in CIDR
7d7073e7 3366 notation. Thanks to a patch from David Boyce.
febbd402 3367
ee912528
DH
3368- The subnet-mask option is now supplied by default, but at lowest
3369 priority. This helps a small minority of clients that provide parameter
3370 request lists, but do not list the subnet-mask option because they were
3371 designed to interoperate with a server that behaves in this manner.
3372
3373- The FQDN option is similarly supplied even if it does not appear on the
3374 parameter request list, but not to the exclusion of options that do
3375 appear at the parameter request list. Up until now it had ultimate
3376 priority over the client's parameter request list.
3377
f7fdb216 3378- Varying option space code and length bit widths (8/16/32) are now
51202707 3379 supported. This is a milestone in achieving RFC 3925 "VIVSO" and
f7fdb216
DH
3380 DHCPv6 support.
3381
5e864416
DH
3382- A new common (server or client) option, 'db-time-format local;', has
3383 been added which prints the local time in /var/db/dhcpd.leases rather
3384 than UTC. Thanks to a patch from Ken Lalonde.
3385
b500bd4c
DH
3386- Some patches to improve DHCP Server startup speed from Andrew Matheson
3387 have been incorporated.
3388
2426234f
DH
3389- Failover pairs now implement 'MAC Affinity' on leases moving from the
3390 active to free states. Leases that belonged to the failover secondary
3391 are moved to BACKUP state rather than FREE upon exiting EXPIRED state.
3392 If lease rebalancing must move leases, it tries first to move leases
3393 that belong to the peer in need.
3394
3395- The server no longer sends POOLREQ messages unless the pool is severely
3396 misbalanced in the peer's favor (see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more details).
3397
3398- Pool rebalance events no longer happen upon successfully allocating a
3399 lease. Instead, they happen on a schedule. See 'man dhcpd.conf' for the
3400 min-balance and max-balance statements for more information.
3401
334bf491
DH
3402- The DHCP Relay Agent Information Option / Link Selection Sub-Option
3403 is now supported. (See RFC3527 for details).
3404
3004bebf
DH
3405- A new DDNS related server option, update-conflict-detection, has been
3406 added. If this option is enabled, dhcpd will perform normal DHCID
3407 conflict resolution (the default). If this option is disabled, it will
3408 instead trust the assigned name implicitly (removing any other bindings
3409 on that name). This option has not been made available in dhclient.
3410
567e8561
DH
3411- In those cases where the DHCP software manufactures an IP header (to
3412 transmit via bpf, lpf, etc), the IP TTL the software selects has been
3413 increased from 16 to 128. This is intended to match Microsoft Windows
3414 DHCP Client behaviour, to increase compatibility.
3415
a396d25f
DH
3416- 'ignore client-updates;' now has behaviour that is different from
3417 'deny client-updates;'. The client's request is not truly ignored,
3418 rather it is encouraged. Should this value be configured, the server
3419 updates DNS as though client-updates were set to 'deny'. That is, it
3420 enters into DNS whatever it is configured to do already, provided it is
3421 configured to. Then it sends a response to the client that lets the
3422 client believe it is performing client updates (which it will), probably
3423 for a different name. In essence, this lets the client do as it will,
3424 ignoring this aspect of their request.
3425
dba5803b
DH
3426- Support for compressed 'domain name list' style DHCP option contents, and
3427 in particular the domain search option (#119) was added.
3428
41e45067 3429- The DHCP LEASEQUERY protocol as defined in RFC4388 is now implemented.
6d103865
SK
3430 LEASEQUERY lets you query the DHCP server for information about a lease,
3431 using either an IP address, MAC address, or client identifier. Thanks
3432 to a patch from Justin Haddad.
3433
41e45067
DH
3434- DHCPD is now RFC2131 section 4.1 compliant (broadcast to all-ones ip and
3435 ethernet mac address) on the SCO platform specifically without any strange
3436 ifconfig hacks. Many thanks go to the Kroger Co. for donating the
3437 hardware and funding the development.
6d103865 3438
b543fea9
DH
3439- A new common configuration executable statement, execute(), has been
3440 added. This permits dhcpd or dhclient to execute a named external
3441 program with command line arguments specified from other configuration
3442 language. Thanks to a patch written by Mattias Ronnblom, gotten to us
3443 via Robin Breathe.
3444
b22de500
DH
3445- A new dhcp server option 'adaptive-lease-time-threshold' has been added
3446 which causes the server to substantially reduce lease-times if there are
3447 few (configured percentage) remaining leases. Thanks to a patch submitted
3448 from Christof Chen.
3449
96bbe8c5
SK
3450- Encapsulated option spaces within encapsulated option spaces is now
3451 formally supported.
3452
b8221d95
DH
3453 Changes since 3.0.6rc1
3454
3455- supersede_lease() now requeues leases in their respective hardware
3456 address hash bucket. This mirrors client identifier behaviour.
3457
c1e6c832
DH
3458 Changes since 3.0.5
3459
f546c28b
DH
3460- Assorted fixes for broken network devices: Packet length is now
3461 determined from the IP header length field to finally calculate the
3462 UDP payload length, because some NIC drivers return more data than
5a22eb63 3463 they actually received.
f546c28b
DH
3464
3465- UDP packets are now stored in aligned data structures.
3466
c1e6c832
DH
3467- A logic error in omapi interface code was repaired that might result in
3468 incorrectly indicating 'up' state when any flags were set, rather than
23e10d37
DH
3469 specifically the INTERFACE_REQUESTED flag. Thanks to a patch from
3470 Jochen Voss which got to us via Andrew Pollock at Debian.
c1e6c832 3471
75ab3070
DH
3472- A reference leak on binding scopes set by ddns updates was repaired.
3473
d69fb6a8 3474- A memory leak in the minires_nsendsigned() function call was repaired.
23e10d37 3475 Effectively, this leaked ~176 bytes per DDNS update.
d69fb6a8 3476
02428754
DH
3477- In the case where an "L2" DHCP Relay Agent (one that does not set giaddr)
3478 was directly attached to the same broadcast domain as the DHCP server,
3479 the RFC3046 relay agent information option was not being returned to the
3480 relay in the server's replies. This was fixed; the dhcp server no longer
3481 requires the giaddr to reply with relay agent information. Note that
3482 this also improves compatibility with L2 devices that "intercept" DHCP
3483 packets and expect relay agent information even in unicast (renewal)
23e10d37
DH
3484 replies. Thanks to a patch from Pekka Silvonen.
3485
3486- A bug was fixed where the BOOTP header 'sname' field had a value, the
3487 copy written to persistent storage was actually the contents of the
3488 'file' field.
02428754 3489
ecde99a3
DH
3490- A bug was fixed where the nwip virtual option space was referencing
3491 the fqdn option's virtual option space's option cache.
3492
67674ffb
DH
3493- Timestamp parsing errors that indicated missing "minutes" fields rather
3494 than the actually missing "seconds" fields have been repaired thanks to
3495 a patch from Kevin Steves.
3496
830ebc4c
DH
3497- A grammar error in the dhclient.8 manpage was repaired thanks to a patch
3498 from Chris Wagner.
3499
c759db75
DH
3500- Several spelling typos were repaired, and some cross-references to other
3501 relevant documents were included in the manpages, thanks to a patch
3502 by Andrew Pollock which got to us via Tomas Pospisek.
3503
9aa3f3a5
DH
3504- Some bugs were fixed in the 'emergency relay agent options hologram'
3505 which is used to retain relay agent option contents from when the
3506 client was in INIT or REBIND states. This should solve problems where
3507 relay agent options were not echoed from the server, even when giaddr
3508 was set.
3509
3d0c598a
DH
3510- dhclient now closes its descriptor to dhclient.leases prior to executing
3511 dhclient-script. Thanks to a patch from Tomas Pospisek.
3512
d5b6835f
DH
3513- The server's "by client-id" and "by hardware address" hash table lists
3514 are now sorted according to the preference to re-allocate that lease to
3515 returning clients. This should eliminate pool starvation problems
3516 arising when "INIT" clients were given new leases rather than presently
3517 active ones.
3518
02428754 3519 Changes since 3.0.5rc1
0a73b7b6 3520
901306d5 3521- A bug was repaired in fixes to the dhclient, which sought to run the
0a73b7b6
SK
3522 dhclient-script with the 'EXPIRE' state should it receive a NAK in
3523 response to a REQUEST. The client now iterates the PREINIT state
3524 after the EXPIRE state, so that interfaces that might be configured
3525 'down' can be brought back 'up' and initialized.
3526
87a08ccc
DH
3527- DHCPINFORM handling for clients that properly set ciaddr and come to the
3528 server via a relay aget has been repaired.
3529
6da113fb
DH
3530 Changes since 3.0.4
3531
3532- A warning that host statements declared within subnet or shared-network
3533 scopes are actually global has been added.
3534
3535- The default minimum lease time (if min-lease-time was not specified)
3536 was raised from 0 to 300. 0 is not thought to be sensible, and is
3537 known to be damaging.
3538
3539- Added additional fatal error sanity checks surrounding lease binding
3540 state count calculations (free/active counts used for failover pool
3541 balancing).
3542
dcc557db
DH
3543- Some time value size fixes in 3.0.4 brought on from FreeBSD /usr/ports were
3544 misapplied to server values rather than client values. The server no longer
3545 advertises 8-byte lease-time options when on 64-bit platforms.
3546
1b2ab55f
DH
3547- A bug where leases not in ACTIVE state would get billed to billed classes
3548 (classes with lease limitations) was fixed. Non-active leases OFFERed
3549 to clients are no longer billed (but billing is checked before offering).
3550
e48891e8
DH
3551- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated in regard to the ddns-domainname
3552 configuration option - the default configuration and results should be
3553 more clear now.
3554
6cbc6629
DH
3555- If the dhclient were to receive a DHCPNAK while it was in the RENEW
3556 state (and consequently, had an active, 'bound' address and related
3557 configuration options), it would fail to 'tear down' this information
3558 before proceeding into INIT state. dhclient now iterates the dhclient-
3559 script with the 'EXPIRE' action to cause these teardowns prior to entering
1d3bfb17 3560 INIT state. Thanks to a patch from Chris Zimmerman.
6cbc6629 3561
c5fec5fa
DH
3562- The omapi.1 manpage had some formatting errors repaired thanks to a patch
3563 from Yoshihiko Sarumaru.
3564
33e1cb2b
DH
3565- A few lines of code that were failover-specific were moved within
3566 #if defined() clauses so that compilation without failover could be
3567 made possible.
3568
2bddf829
DH
3569- The log message emitted when the 'leased-address' value was not available
3570 in dhcpd.conf "executable statements" has been updated to be more helpful.
3571 Manpage information for this value has also been updated.
3572
87578987
DH
3573- Abandoned or dissociated (err condition) leases now remove any related
3574 dynamic dns bindings. Thanks to a patch from Patrick Schoo.
3575
e77c575f
DH
3576- Attempting to write a new lease file to replace a corrupt (due to
3577 encountering non-retryable errors during writing) lease file should
3578 no longer result in an infinite recursion.
3579
2178df03
DH
3580- Host declaration hardware addresses and client identifiers may only be
3581 configured once. dhcpd will now fail to load config files that specify
3582 multiple identifiers (previous versions would silently over-ride the
3583 value with the later configured value).
3584
d5341d9b
SK
3585- Several option codes that have been allocated since our last release
3586 have been named and documented.
3587
3588- Option names of the form "unknown-123" have been removed from the in-
3589 memory hash tables. In order to support options of these names that
3590 may appear in dhclient.leases or similar in previous versions, the
3591 parser will now find the new option code definition, or mock up a
3592 generic option code definition. This should result in a smooth
3593 transition from one name to the other, as the new name is used to
3594 write new output.
3595
6da113fb
DH
3596 Changes since 3.0.4rc1
3597
3598- The dhcp-options.5 manpage was updated to correct indentation errors
3599 thanks to a patch from Jean Delvare.
3600
3601 Changes since 3.0.4b3
3602
3603- Some manual pages were clarified pursuant to discussion on the dhcp-server
3604 mailing list.
3605
88cd8aca
DH
3606 Changes since 3.0.4b2
3607
45d545f0 3608- Null-termination sensing for certain clients that unfortunately require
88cd8aca
DH
3609 it in DHCPINFORM processing was repaired.
3610
3611- The host-name option and a few others were moved from "X" format to "t"
3612 format to be compatible with new NULL handling functions.
3613
3614- DHCPINFORM processing is a little more careful about return addressing
3615 its responses, or if responding via a relay. The INFORM related
3616 messages also log the 'effective client ip address' rather than the
3617 client's supplied ciaddr (since some clients produce null ciaddrs).
3618
3619- The server was inappropriately sending leases to the RESET state in the
3620 event that multiple active leases were found to match a singly-identified
3621 client. This was changed to RELEASED (by accepting a different, ACTIVE
3622 binding, the client is implicitly releasing its lease). This repairs a
3623 bug wherein secondary servers in failover pairs detecting this condition
3624 move leases to RESET, and primaries refuse to accept that state
3625 transition (properly).
3626
3627- The memset-after-dmalloc() changes made in 3.0.4b1 have been backed out.
3628
3629 Changes since 3.0.4b1
3630
3631- Command line parsing in omshell was repaired - it no longer closes
3632 STDIN after reading one line.
3633
3634- The resolver library no longer closes the /etc/resolv.conf file
3635 descriptor it opened twice.
3636
3637- Changes to trailing NULL removal in 't' option-atoms has been rethought,
3638 it now includes 'd' (domain name) types, and tries hard not to rewind an
3639 option beyond the start of the text field it is un-terminating.
3640
3641 Changes since 3.0.3
3642
3643- A DDNS update handling function was misusing the DNS error codes, rather
3644 than the internal generic result enumeration. The result is a confusing
3645 syslog line, logging the wrong condition.
3646
3647- The DHCP Server was not checking pool balance in the case where it brought
3648 a non-ACTIVE lease out of storage for a client that was returning to use
3649 a lease it once had long ago, and had since expired.
3650
3651- Failover peers no longer bother to look for free leases to allocate when
3652 they already found the client's ACTIVE lease. DISCOVERs are load balanced
98bd7ca0 3653 whether freely-allocated or not, unless the server doubts the peer has
88cd8aca
DH
3654 leases to allocate.
3655
3656- Fixed a bug in dhcrelay agent addition code that suppressed trailing
45d545f0 3657 PAD options - it was suppressing only one trailing PAD option, rather
88cd8aca
DH
3658 than the entire block of them.
3659
3a16098f
DH
3660! Fixed some unlikely overlapping-region memcpy() bugs in dhcrelay agent
3661 option addition and stripping code. Added a few sanity checks. Although
3662 highly improbable, due to requiring the reception of a DHCP datagram well
3663 in excess of all known to be used physical MTU limitations, it is possible
3664 this may have been used in a stack overflow security vulnerability. Thanks
3665 to a patch from infamous42md.
3666
3667! Added some sanity checks to OMAPI connection/authentication code.
3668 Although highly improbable, due to having to deliver in excess of 2^32
3669 bytes of data via the OMAPI channel, not to mention requiring dhcpd to
3670 be able to malloc() a memory region 2^32 bytes in size, it was possible
3671 this might have resulted in a heap overflow security vulnerability.
3672 Thanks to a patch from infamous42md.
88cd8aca
DH
3673
3674- dmalloc() memset()'s the non-debug (data) portion of the allocated
3675 memory to zero. Code that memset()'s the result returned by dmalloc() to
3676 zero is redundant. These redundancies were removed.
3677
3678- Some type declaration corrections to u_int16_t were made in common/tr.c
4b97eaff 3679 (Token Ring support) thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
88cd8aca
DH
3680
3681- A failover bug that was allowing leases that EXPIRED or were RELEASED
3682 where tsfp and tstp are identical timestamps to languish in these
3683 transitional states has been repaired. As a side effect, lease
3684 databases should be kept more consistent overall, not just for these
3685 transitional states.
3686
3687- If the lease db is deleted out from under the daemon, and it moves to rewrite
3688 the db, it will go ahead with the operation and move the new db into place
3689 once it detects the old db does not exist.
3690
3691- dhclient now ignores IRDA, SIT, and IEEE1394 network interfaces, as it
3692 is either nonsensical or (in the case of IEEE1394) is not known to support
3693 these interfaces. Thanks to Marius Gedminas and Andrew Pollock of Debian.
3694
3695- Some previously undocumented reasons for dhclient-script invoking has
45d545f0 3696 been documented in the dhclient-script.8 manpage.
88cd8aca
DH
3697
3698- Failover potential expiry calculations (TSTP) have been corrected. Results
3699 should be substantially more consistent, and proper given the constraints.
3700
3701- Adjusted lease state validation checks in potential-conflict, to
3702 account for possible clock skew similarly to normal state, and several
3703 previously illegal transitions were made legal (ex: active->released).
3704
3705- An impossible sanity check was removed from omapi/buffer.c, thanks to a
3706 patch from 'infamous42md'.
3707
3708- An OMAPI host/network byte order problem in lease time values has been
3709 repaired.
3710
3711- Several minor bugs, largely relating to treating 8-byte time values as
3712 4-byte entities, have been repaired after careful review of the FreeBSD
3713 ports collection's patch set. Thanks to the nameless entities who have
3714 contributed to the FreeBSD ports.
3715
3716- When writing a trace file, the file is now created with permissions 0600,
3717 to help administrators avoid accidentally publicising sensitive config
3718 data.
3719
3720- The calculation of the maximum size of DHCP packets no longer includes
3721 Ethernet framing overhead. The result is that the 'Maximum Message
3722 Size' option advertised by clients, or the default value 576, is no
3723 longer reduced by 14 bytes, and instead directly reflects the IP level
3724 MTU (and the default, minimum allowed IP MTU of 576).
3725
3726- The special status of RELEASED/EXPIRED/RESET leases when a server
3727 is operating in partner-down was fixed. It no longer requires a
3728 lease be twice the MCLT beyond STOS to 'reallocate', and the expiry
3729 event to turn these into FREE leases without peer acknowledgement
3730 (after STOS+MCLT) has been repaired.
3731
3732- Compilation on older Solaris systems (lacking /usr/include/sys/int_types.h)
3733 has been repaired.
3734
3735- "append"ing a string onto the end of a "t" type option (such as the
3736 domain-name field) that had been improperly NULL-terminated by the
3737 DHCP server will no longer result in a truncated string containing
3738 only the option from the server, and not the expected appended value.
4b97eaff 3739 Thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
88cd8aca
DH
3740
3741- File handlers on configuration state (config files and lease dbs) should
98bd7ca0 3742 be treated consistently, regardless of whether TRACING is defined or not.
88cd8aca 3743
45d545f0 3744- The Linux build environment has had some minor improvements - better
88cd8aca
DH
3745 sensing of 64-bit pointer sizes (only used for establishing an icmp_id),
3746 and corrections to #if operators regarding LINUX_MAJOR should it ever
3747 move to 3.[01].x.
3748
3749- The server now tries harder to survive the condition where it is unable
3750 to open a new lease file to rewrite the lease state database.
3751
c75473d8
DH
3752 Changes since 3.0.3b3
3753
3754- dhclient.conf documentation for interface {} was updated to reflect recent
3755 discussion on the dhcp-hackers mailing list.
3756
3757- In response to reports that the software does not compile on GCC 4.0.0,
3758 -Werror was removed from Makefile.conf for all platforms that used it.
3759 We will address the true problem in a future release; this is a temporary
3760 workaround.
3761
3762 Changes since 3.0.3b2
3763
3764- An error in code changes introduced in 3.0.3b2 was corrected, which caused
3765 static BOOTP clients to receive random addresses.
3766
3767 Changes since 3.0.3b1
3768
3769- A bug was fixed in BOOTPREQUEST handling code wherein stale references to
3770 host records would be left behind on leases that were not allocated to the
3771 client currently booting (eg in the case where the host was denied booting).
3772
3773- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated to be more clear in regards to
3774 multiple host declarations (thanks to Vincent McIntyre). 'Interim' style
3775 dynamic updates were also retouched.
3776
98311e4b
DH
3777 Changes since 3.0.2
3778
3779- A bug was fixed where a server might load balance a DHCP REQUEST to its
45d545f0 3780 peer after already choosing not to load balance the preceding DISCOVER.
98311e4b
DH
3781 The peer cannot allocate the originating server's lease.
3782
3783- In the case where a secondary server lost its stable storage while the
3784 primary was still in communications-interrupted, and came back online,
3785 the lease databases would not be fully transferred to the secondary.
3786 This was due to the secondary errantly sending an extra UPDREQ message
3787 when the primary made its state transition to PARTNER-DOWN known.
3788
3789- The package will now compile cleanly in gcc 3.3 and 3.4. As a side effect,
3790 lease structures will be 9 bytes smaller on all platforms. Thanks to
4b97eaff 3791 Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3792
3793- Interface discovery code in DISCOVER_UNCONFIGURED mode is now
3794 properly restricted to only detecting broadcast interfaces. Thanks
4b97eaff 3795 to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3796
3797- decode_udp_ip_header was changed so that the IP address was copied out
3798 to a variable, rather than referenced by a pointer. This enforces 4-byte
3799 alignment of the 32-bit IP address value. Thanks to a patch from Dr.
3800 Peter Poeml.
3801
3802- An incorrect log message was corrected thanks to a patch from
3803 Dr. Peter Poeml.
3804
3805- A bug in DDNS was repaired, where if the server's first DDNS action was
3806 a DDNS removal rather than a DDNS update, the resolver library's
3807 retransmit timer and retry timer was set to the default, implying a
3808 15 second timeout interval. Which is a little excessive in a synchronous,
3809 single-threaded system. In all cases, ISC DHCP should now hold fast to
3810 a 1-second timeout, trying only once.
3811
3812- The siaddr field was being improperly set to the server-identifier when
3813 responding to DHCP messages. RFC2131 clarified the siaddr field as
3814 meaning the 'next server in the bootstrap process', eg a tftp server.
3815 The siaddr field is now left zeroed unless next-server is configured.
3816
3817- mockup_lease() could have returned in an error condition (or in the
3818 condition where no fixed-address was found matching the shared
3819 network) with stale references to a host record. This is probably not
3820 a memory leak since host records generally never die anyway.
3821
3822- A bug was repaired where failover servers would let stale client identifiers
3823 persist on leases that were reallocated to new clients not sending an id.
3824
3825- Binding scopes ("set var = value;") are now removed from leases allocated
3826 by failover peers if the lease had expired. This should help reduce the
3827 number of stale binding scopes on leases.
3828
3829- A small memory leak was closed involving client identifiers larger than
3830 7 bytes, and failover.
3831
3832- Configuring a subnet in dhcpd.conf with a subnet mask of 32 bits might
3833 cause an internal function to overflow heap. Thanks to Jason Vas Dias
4b97eaff 3834 at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3835
3836- Some inconsistencies in treating numbers that the lexer parsed as 'NUMBER'
3837 or 'NUMBER_OR_NAME' was repaired. Hexadecimal parsing is affected, and
3838 should work better.
3839
3840- In several cases, parse warnings were being issued before the lexical
3841 token had been advanced to the token whose value was causing an error...
3842 causing parse warnings to claim the problem is on the wrong token.
3843
3844- Host declarations matching on client identifier for dynamic leases will
3845 no longer match fixed-address host declarations (this is now identical
3846 to behaviour for host records matching on hardware address).
3847
3848 Changes since 3.0.2rc3
3849
3850- A previously undocumented configuration directive, 'local-address',
3851 was documented in the dhcpd.conf manpage.
3852
3853 Changes since 3.0.2rc2
3854
45d545f0 3855- Two variables introduced in 3.0.2b1 were used without being initialized
98311e4b
DH
3856 in the case where neither the FILE nor SNAME fields were available for
3857 overloading. This was repaired.
3858
3859- A heretofore believed to be impossible corner case of the option
3860 overloading implementation turned out to be possible ("Unable to sort
3861 overloaded options after 10 tries."). The implementation was reworked
3862 to consider the case of an option so large it would require more than
3863 three chunks to fit.
3864
3865- Many other instances of variables being used without being initialized
3866 were repaired.
3867
3868- An uninitialized variable in omapi_io_destroy() led to the discovery
3869 that this function may result in orphaned pointers (and hence, a memory
3870 leak).
3871
3872 Changes since 3.0.2rc1
3873
3874- allocate_lease() was rewritten to repair a bug in which the server would
3875 try to allocate an ABANDONED lease when FREE leases were available.
3876
3877 Changes since 3.0.2b1
3878
3879- Some dhcp-eval.5 manpage formatting was repaired.
3880
3881 Changes since 3.0.1
3882
3883- A bug was fixed in the server's 'option overloading' implementation,
3884 where options loaded into the 'file' and 'sname' packet fields were
3885 not aligned precisely as rfc2131 dictates.
3886
3887- The FreeBSD client script was changed to support the case where a domain
3888 name was not provided by the server.
3889
3890- A memory leak in 'omshell' per each command line parsed was
3891 repaired, thanks to a patch from Jarkko Torppa.
3892
3893- Log functions writing to stderr were adjusted to use the STDERR_FILENO
3894 system definition rather than '2'. This is a no-op for 90% of platforms.
3895
3896- One call to trace_write_packet_iov() counted the number of io vectors
3897 incorrectly, causing inconsistent tracefiles. This was fixed.
3898
3899- Some expression parse failure memory leaks were closed.
3900
3901- A host byte order problem in tracefiles was repaired.
3902
3903- Pools configured in DHCPD for failover possessing permission lists that
adb95d23 3904 previously were assumed to not include dynamic bootp clients are now
98311e4b
DH
3905 a little more pessimistic. The result is, dhcpd will nag you about just
3906 about most pools that possess a 'allow' statement with no 'deny' that
3907 would definitely match a dynamic bootp client.
3908
3909- The 'ddns-update-style' configuration warning bit now insists that
3910 the configuration be globally scoped.
3911
3912- Two memory leaks in dhclient were closed thanks to a patch from Felix
3913 Farkas.
3914
3915- Some minor but excellently pedantic documentation errors were fixed
3916 thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
3917
3918- Bugs in operator precedence in executable statements have been repaired
3919 once again. More legal syntaxes should be parsed legally.
3920
3921- Failing to initialize a tracefile for any reason if a tracefile was
3922 specified is now a fatal error. Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
3923
3924- Corrected a bug in which the number of leases transferred as calculated
3925 by the failover primary and sent to peers in POOLRESP responses may be
3926 incorrect. This value is not believed to be used by other failover
3927 implementations, excepting perhaps as logged information.
3928
3929- Corrected a bug in which 'dhcp_failover_send_poolresp()' was in fact
3930 sending POOLREQ messages instead of POOLRESP mesasges. This message
3931 was essentially ignored since failover secondaries effectively do not
3932 respond to POOLREQ messages.
3933
3934- Type definitions for various bitwidths of integers in the sunos5-5
3935 build of ISC DHCP have been fixed. It should compile and run more
3936 easily when built in 64-bit for this platform.
3937
3938- "allow known-clients;" is now a legal syntax, to avoid confusion.
3939
3940- If one dhcp server chooses to 'load balance' a request to its failover
3941 peer, it first checks to see if it believes said peer has a free
3942 lease to allocate before ignoring the DISCOVER.
3943
3944- log() was logging a work buffer, rather than the value returned by
3945 executing the statements configured by the user. In some cases,
3946 the work buffer and the intended results were the same. In some other
3947 cases, they were not. This was fixed thanks to a patch from Gunnar
3948 Fjone and directconnect.no.
3949
3950- Compiler warnings for some string type conversions was fixed, thanks
3951 to Andreas Gustafsson.
3952
3953- The netbsd build environments were simplified to one, in which
3954 -Wconversion is not used, thanks to Andreas Gustafsson.
3955
3956- How randomness in the backoff-cutoff dhclient configuration variable
3957 is implemented was better documented in the manpage, and the behaviour
3958 of dhclient in REQUEST timeout handling was changed to match that of
3959 DISCOVER timeout handling.
3960
3961- Omapi was hardened against clients that pass in null values, thanks
3962 to a patch from Mark Jason Dominus.
3963
3964- A bug was fixed in dhclient that kept it from doing client-side
3965 ddns updates. Thanks to a patch from Andreas Gustafsson, which
3966 underwent some modification after review by Jason Vas Dias.
3967
3968- Failover implementations disconnected due to the network between
3969 them (rather than one of the two shutting down) will now try to
3970 re-establish the failover connection every 5 seconds, rather than
3971 to simply try once and give up until one of them is restarted.
3972 Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from Infoblox, and field testing
3973 by Greger V. Teigre which led to an enhancement to it.
3974
3975- A problem that kept DHCP Failover secondaries from tearing down
3976 ddns records was repaired. Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from
3977 Infoblox.
3978
3979- 64bit pointer sizes are detected properly on FreeBSD now.
3980
3981- A bug was repaired where the DHCP server would leave stale references
3982 to host records on leases it once thought about offering to certain
3983 clients. The result would be to apply host and 'known' scopes to the
3984 wrong clients (possibly denying booting). NOTE: The 'mis-host' patch
3985 that was being circulated as a workaround is not the way this bug was
3986 fixed. If you were a victim of this bug in 3.0.1, you are cautioned
3987 to proceed carefully and see if it fixes your problem.
3988
3989- A bug was repaired in the server's DHCPINFORM handling, where it
3990 tried to divine the client's address from the source packet and
3991 would get it wrong. Thanks to Anshuman Singh Rawat.
3992
3993- A log message was introduced to help illuminate the case where the
3994 server was unable to find a lease to assign to any BOOTP client.
3995 Thanks to Daniel Baker.
3996
3997- A minor dhcpd.conf.5 manpage error was fixed.
3998
3999 Changes since 3.0.1rc14
4000
4001- The global variable 'cur_time' was centralized and is now uniformly of a
4002 type #defined in system-dependent headers. It had previously been defined
4003 in one of many places as a 32-bit value, and this causes mayhem on 64-bit
4004 big endian systems. It probably wasn't too healthy on little endian
4005 systems either.
4006
4007- A printf format string error introduced in rc14 was repaired.
4008
4009- AIX system-dependent header file was altered to only define NO_SNPRINTF
4010 if the condition used to #ifdef in vsnprintf in AIX' header files
4011 is false.
4012
4013- The Alpha/OSF system-dependent header file was altered to define
4014 NO_SNPRINTF on OS revisions older than 4.0G.
4015
4016- omapip/test.c had string.h added to its includes.
4017
4018 Changes since 3.0.1rc13
4019
4020! CAN-2004-0460 - CERT VU#317350: Five stack overflow exploits were closed
4021 in logging messages with excessively long hostnames provided by the
4022 clients. It is highly probable that these could have been used by
4023 attackers to gain arbitrary root access on systems using ISC DHCP 3.0.1
4024 release candidates 12 or 13. Special thanks to Gregory Duchemin for
4025 both finding and solving the problem.
4026
4027! CAN-2004-0461 - CERT VU#654390: Once the above was closed, an opening
45d545f0 4028 in log_*() functions was evidenced, on some specific platforms where
98311e4b
DH
4029 vsnprintf() was not believed to be available and calls were wrapped to
4030 sprintf() instead. Again, credit goes to Gregory Duchemin for finding
4031 the problem. Calls to snprintf() are now linked to a distribution-local
4032 snprintf implementation, only in those cases where the architecture is
4033 not known to provide one (see includes/cf/[arch].h). If you experience
4034 linking problems with snprintf/vsnprintf or 'isc_print_' functions, this
4035 is where to look. This vulnerability did not exist in any previously
4036 published version of ISC DHCP.
4037
4038- Compilation on hpux 11.11 was repaired.
4039
4040- 'The cross-compile bug fix' was backed out.
4041
4042 Changes since 3.0.1rc12
4043
4044- Fixed a bug in omapi lease lookup function, to form the hardware
4045 address for the hash lookup correctly, thanks to a patch from
4046 Richard Hirst.
4047
4048- Fixed a bug where dhcrelay was sending relayed responses back to the
4049 broadcast address, but with the source's unicast mac address. Should
4050 now conform to rfc2131 section 4.1.
4051
4052- Cross-compile bug fix; use $(AR) instead of ar. Thanks to Morten Brorup.
4053
4054- Fixed a crash bug in dhclient where dhcpd servers that do not provide
4055 renewal times results in an FPE. As a side effect, dhclient can now
4056 properly handle 0xFFFFFFFF (-1) expiry times supplied by servers. Thanks
4057 to a patch from Burt Silverman.
4058
4059- The 'ping timeout' debugs from rc12 were removed to -DDEBUG only,
45d545f0 4060 and reformatted to correct a compilation error on Solaris platforms.
98311e4b
DH
4061
4062- A patch was applied which fixes a case where leases read from the
4063 leases database do not properly over-ride previously read leases.
4064
4065- dhcpctl.3 manpage was tweaked.
4066
4067 Changes since 3.0.1rc11
4068
4069- A patch from Steve Campbell was applied with minor modifications to
4070 permit reverse dns PTR record updates with values containing spaces.
4071
4072- A patch from Florian Lohoff was applied with some modifications to
4073 dhcrelay. It now discards packets whose hop count exceeds 10 by default,
4074 and a command-line option (-c) can be used to set this threshold.
4075
4076- A failover bug relating to identifying peers by name length instead of
4077 by name was fixed.
4078
45d545f0 4079- Declaring failover configs within shared-network statements should no
98311e4b
DH
4080 longer result in error.
4081
4082- The -nw command line option to dhclient now works.
4083
4084- Thanks to a patch from Michael Richardson:
4085 - Some problems with long option processing have been fixed.
4086 - Some fixes to minires so that updates of KEY records will work.
4087
4088- contrib/ms2isc was updated by Shu-Min Chang of the Intel Corporation.
4089 see contrib/ms2isc/readme.txt for revision notes.
4090
4091- Dhclient no longer uses shell commands to kill another instance of
4092 itself, it sends the signal directly. Thanks to a patch from Martin
4093 Blapp.
4094
4095- The FreeBSD dhclient-script was changed so that a failure to write to
4096 /etc/resolv.conf does not prematurely end the script. This keeps dhclient
4097 from looping infinitely when this is the case. Thanks to a patch from
4098 Martin Blapp.
4099
4100- A patch from Bill Stephens was applied which resolves a problem with lease
4101 expiry times in failover configurations.
4102
4103- A memory leak in configuration parsing was closed thanks to a patch from
4104 Steve G.
4105
4106- The function which discovers interfaces will now skip non-broadcast or
4107 point-to-point interfaces, thanks to a patch from David Brownlee.
4108
4109- Options not yet known by the dhcpd or dhclient have had their names
4110 changed such that they do not contain # symbols, in case they should ever
4111 appear in a lease file. An option that might have been named "#144" is
4112 now "unknown-144".
4113
4114- Another patch from Bill Stephens which allows the ping-check timeout to
4115 be configured as 'ping-timeout'. Defaults to 1.
4116
4117 Changes since 3.0.1rc10
4118
4119- Potential buffer overflows in minires repaired.
4120
4121- A change to the linux client script to use /bin/bash, since /bin/sh may
4122 not be bash.
4123
4124- Some missing va_end cleanups thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
4125
4126- A correction of boolean parsing syntax validation - some illegal syntaxes
4127 that worked before are now detected and produce errs, some legal syntaxes
4128 that errored before will now work properly.
4129
4130- Some search-and-replace errors that caused some options to change their
4131 names was repaired.
4132
4133- Shu-min Chang of the Intel corporation has contributed a perl script and
4134 module that converts the MS NT4 DHCP configuration to a ISC DHCP3
4135 configuration file.
4136
4137- Applied the remainder of the dhcpctl memory leak patch provided by Bill
4138 Squier at ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
4139
4140- Missing non-optional failover peer configurations will now result in a soft
4141 error rather than a null dereference.
4142
4143 Changes since 3.0.1rc9
4144
4145- A format string was corrected to fix compiler warnings.
4146
4147- A number of spelling corrections were made in the man pages.
4148
4149- The dhclient.conf.5 man page was changed to refer to do-forward-updates
4150 rather than a configuration option that doesn't exist.
4151
4152- A FreeBSD-specific bug in the interface removal handling was fixed.
4153
4154- A Linux-specific Token Ring detection problem was fixed.
4155
4156- Hashes removed from as-yet-unknown agent options, having those options
4157 appear in reality before we know about them will no longer produce
4158 self-corrupting lease databases.
4159
4160- dhclient will use the proper port numbers now when using the -g option.
4161
4162- A order-of-operations bug with 2 match clauses in 1 class statement is
4163 fixed thanks to a patch from Andrew Matheson.
4164
4165- Compilation problems on Solaris were fixed.
4166
4167- Compilation problems when built with DEBUG or DEBUG_PACKET were repaired.
4168
4169- A fix to the dhcp ack process which makes certain group options will be
4170 included in the first DHCPOFFER message was made thanks to a patch from
4171 Ling Gou.
4172
4173- A few memory leaks were repaired thanks to patches from Bill Squier at
4174 ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
4175
4176- A fix for shared-networks that sometimes give clients options for the
4177 wrong subnets (in particular, 'option routers') was applied, thanks to
4178 Ted Lemon for the patch.
4179
4180- Omshell's handling of dotted octets as values was changed such that dots
4181 one after the other produce zero values in the integer string.
4182
4183 Changes since 3.0.1rc8
4184
4185- Fix a format string vulnerability in the server that could lead to a
4186 remote root compromise (discovered by NGSEC Research Team, www.ngsec.com).
4187
4188- Add additional support for NetBSD/sparc64.
4189
4190- Fix a bug in the command-line parsing of the client. Also, resolve
4191 a memory leak.
4192
4193- Add better support for shells other than bash in the Linux client
4194 script.
4195
4196- Various build fixes for modern versions of FreeBSD and Linux.
4197
4198- Fix a bad bounds check when printing binding state names.
4199
4200- Clarify documentation about fixed-address and multiple addresses.
4201
4202- Fix a typo in the authoritative error message.
4203
4204- Make a log entry when we can't write a billing class.
4205
4206- Use conversion targets that are the right size on all architectures.
4207
4208- Increment the hop count when relaying.
4209
4210- Log a message when lease state is changed through OMAPI.
4211
4212- Don't rerun the shared_network when evaluating the pool.
4213
4214- Fix a reversed test in the parser.
4215
4216- Change the type of rbuf_max.
4217
4218- Make FTS_LAST a manifest constant to quiet warnings.
4219
4220 Changes since 3.0.1rc7
4221
4222- Fix two compiler warnings that are generated when compiling on Solaris
4223 with gcc. These stop the build, even though they weren't actually
4224 errors, because we prefer that our builds generate no warnings.
4225
4226 Changes since 3.0.1rc6
4227
4228- Don't allow a lease that's in the EXPIRED, RELEASED or RESET state
4229 to be renewed.
4230
4231- Implement lease stealing for cases where the primary has fewer leases
4232 than the secondary, as called for by the standard.
4233
4234- Add a fudge factor to the lease expiry acceptance code, (suggested
4235 by Kevin Miller of CMU).
4236
4237- Fix a bug in permit_list_match that made it much too willing to say
4238 that two permit lists matched.
4239
4240- Unless DEBUG_DNS_UPDATES is defined, print more user-friendly (and
4241 also more compact) messages about DNS updates.
4242
4243- Fix a bug in generating wire-format domain names for the FQDN option.
4244
4245- Fix a bug where the FQDN option would not be returned if the client
4246 requested it, contrary to the standard.
4247
4248- On Darwin, use the FreeBSD DHCP client script.
4249
4250- On NetBSD/sparc, don't check for casting warnings.
4251
4252- Add a flag in the DHCP client to disable updating the client's A
4253 record when sending an FQDN option indicating that the client is
4254 going to update its A record.
4255
4256- In the client, don't attempt a DNS update until one second after
4257 configuring the new IP address, and if the update times out, keep
4258 trying until a response, positive or negative, is received from the
4259 DNS server.
4260
4261- Fix an uninitialized memory bug in the DHCP client.
4262
4263- Apply some FreeBSD-specific bug fixes suggested by Murray Stokely.
4264
4265- Fix a bug in ns_parserr(), where it was returning the wrong sort
4266 of result code in some cases (suggested by Ben Harris of the
4267 NetBSD project).
4268
4269- Fix a bug in is_identifier(), where it was checking against EOF
4270 instead of the END_OF_FILE token (also suggested by Ben Harris).
4271
4272- Fix a bug where if an option universe contained no options, the
4273 DHCP server could dump core (Walter Steiner).
4274
4275- Fix a bug in the handling of encapsulated options.
4276
4277- Fix a bug that prevented NWIP suboptions from being processed.
4278
4279- Delete the FTS_BOOTP and FTS_RESERVED states and implement them
4280 as modifier flags to the FTS_ACTIVE state, as called for in the
4281 failover protocol standard.
4282
4283- Fix bugs in the pool merging code that resulted in references and
4284 dereferences of null pointers. This bug had no impact unless the
4285 POINTER_DEBUG flag was defined.
4286
4287- In the server, added a do-forward-updates flag that can be used to
4288 disable forward updates in all cases, so that sites that want the
4289 clients to take sole responsibility for updating their A record can
4290 do so.
4291
4292- Make it possible to disable optimization of PTR record updates.
4293
4294 Changes since 3.0.1rc5
4295
4296- Include some new documentation and changes provided by Karl Auer.
4297
4298- Add a workaround for some Lexmark printers that send a double-NUL-
4299 terminated host-name option, which would break DNS updates.
4300
4301- Fix an off-by-one error in the MAC-address checking code for
4302 DHCPRELEASE that was added in 3.0.1rc5.
4303
4304- Fix a bug where client-specific information was not being discarded
4305 from the lease when it expired or was released, resulting in
4306 problems if the lease was reallocated to a different client.
4307
4308- If more than one allocation pool is specified that has the same set
4309 of constraints as another allocation pool on the same shared
4310 network, merge the two pools.
4311
4312- Don't print an error in fallback_discard, since this just causes
4313 confusion and does not appear to be helping to encourage anyone to
4314 fix this bug.
4315
4316 Changes since 3.0.1rc4
4317
4318- Fix a bug that would cause the DHCP server to spin if asked to parse
4319 a certain kind of incorrect statement.
4320
4321- Fix a related bug that would prevent an error from being reported in
4322 the same case.
4323
4324- Additional documentation.
4325
4326- Make sure that the hardware address matches the lease when
4327 processing a DHCPRELEASE message.
4328
4329 Changes since 3.0.1rc3
4330
4331- A minor bug fix in the arguments to a logging function call.
4332- Documentation update for dhcpd.conf.
4333
adbef119 4334 Changes since 3.0.1rc2
98311e4b
DH
4335
4336- Allow the primary to send a POOLREQ message. This isn't what the current
4337 failover draft says to do, so we may have to back it out if I can't get the
4338 authors to relent, but the scheme for balancing that's specified in the
4339 current draft seems needlessly hairy, so I'm floating a trial balloon.
4340 The rc1 code did not implement the method described in the draft either.
4341
adbef119 4342 Changes since 3.0.1rc1
98311e4b
DH
4343
4344- Treat NXDOMAIN and NXRRSET as success when we are trying to delete a
4345 domain or RRSET. This allows the DHCP server to forget about a name
4346 it added to the DNS once it's been removed, even if the DHCP server
4347 wasn't the one that removed it.
4348
4349- Install defaults for failover maximum outstanding updates and maximum
4350 silent time. This prevents problems that might occur if these values
4351 were not configured.
4352
4353- Don't do DDNS deletes if ddns-update-style is none.
4354
4355- Return relay agent information options in DHCPNAK. This prevents DHCPNAK
4356 messages from being dropped when the relay agent information option contains
4357 routing information.
4358
4359- Fix a problem where coming up in recover wouldn't result in an update
4360 request being sent.
4361
4362- Add some more chatty messages when we start a recovery update and when it's
4363 done.
4364
4365- Fix a possible problem where some state might have been left around
4366 after the peer lost contact and regained contact about how many updates
4367 were pending.
4368
4369- Don't nix a lease update because of a lease conflict. This test has
4370 never (as far as I know) prevented a mistake, and it appears to cause
4371 problems with failover.
4372
4373- Add support in rc history code for keeping a selective history, rather
4374 than a history of all references and dereferences. This code is only used
4375 when extensive additional debugging is enabled.
4376
adbef119 4377 Changes since 3.0
98311e4b
DH
4378
4379- Make allocators for hash tables. As a side effect, this fixes a memory
4380 smash in the subclass allocation code.
4381
4382- Fix a small bug in omshell where if you try to close an object when
4383 no object is open, it dumps core.
4384
4385- Fix an obscure coredump that could occur on shutdown.
4386
4387- Fix a bug in the recording of host declaration rubouts in the lease file.
4388
4389- Fix two potential spins in the host deletion code.
4390
4391- Fix a core dump that would happen if an application tried to update
4392 a host object attribute with a null value.
4393
4394 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 12
4395
4396- Fix a memory leak in the evaluation code.
4397
4398- Fix an obscure core dump.
4399
4400- Print a couple of new warnings when parsing the configuration file
4401 when crucial information is left out.
4402
4403- Log "no free leases" as an error.
4404
4405- Documentation updates.
4406
4407 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 11
4408
4409- Always return a subnet selection option if one is sent.
4410
4411- Fix a warning that was being printed because an automatic data
4412 structure wasn't zeroed.
4413
4414- Fix some failover state transitions that were being handled
4415 incorrectly.
4416
4417- When supersede_lease is called on a lease whose end time has already
4418 expired, but for which a state transition has not yet been done, do
4419 a state transition. This fixes the case where if the secondary
4420 allocated a lease to a client and the lease "expired" while the
4421 secondary was in partner-down, no expiry event would actually
4422 happen, so the lease would remain active until the primary was
4423 restarted.
4424
4425 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 10
4426
4427- Fix a bug that was preventing released leases from changing state
4428 in failover-enabled pools.
4429
4430- Fix a core dump in the client identifier finder code (for host
4431 declarations).
4432
4433- Finish fixing a bug where bogus data would sometimes get logged to
4434 the dhclient.leases file because it was opened as descriptor 2.
4435
4436- Fix the Linux dhclient-script according to suggestions made by
4437 several people on the dhcp-client mailing list.
4438
4439- Log successful DNS updates at LOG_INFO, not LOG_ERROR.
4440
4441- Print an error message and refuse to run if a failover peer is
4442 defined but not referenced by any pools.
4443
4444- Correct a confusing error message in failover.
4445

4455
4456- Fix a compilation error on SunOS 4.

d758ad8c
TL
4458 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8 Patchlevel 1
4459
4460- Fix a parsing bug that broke dns updates (both interim and ad-hoc).
4461 This was introduced in rc8pl1 as an unintended result of the memory
4462 leakage fixes that were in pl1.
4463
4464- Fix a long-standing bug where the server would record that an update
4465 had been done for a client with no name, even though no update had
4466 been done, and then when the client's lease expired the deletion of
4467 that nonexistant record would time out because the name was the null
9a111ee8 4468 string.
d758ad8c
TL
4469
4470- Clean up the omshell, dhcpctl and omapi man pages a bit.

TL
4472 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8
4473
4474- Fix a bug that could cause the DHCP server to spin if
4475 one-lease-per-client was enabled.
4476
4477- Fix a bug that was causing core dumps on BSD/os in the presence of
4478 malformed packets.
4479
4480- In partner-down state, don't restrict lease lengths to MCLT.
4481
4482- On the failover secondary, record the MCLT received from the primary
4483 so that if we come up without a connection to the primary we don't
4484 wind up giving out zero-length leases.
4485
4486- Fix some compilation problems on BSD/os.
4487
4488- Fix a bunch of memory leaks.
4489
4490- Fix a couple of bugs in the option printer.
4491
4492- Fix an obscure error reporting bug in the dns update code, and also
4493 make the message clearer when a key algorithm isn't supported.
4494
4495- Fix a bug in the tracing code that prevented trace runs that used
4496 tcp connections from being played back.
4497
4498- Add some additional debugging capability for catching memory leaks
4499 on exit.
4500
4501- Make the client release the lease correctly on shutdown.
4502
4503- Add some configurability to the build system.
4504
4505- Install omshell manual page in man1, not man8.
4506
4507- Craig Gwydir sent in a patch that fixes a long-standing bug in the
4508 DHCP client that could cause core dumps, but that for some reason
4509 hadn't been noticed until now.
4510
4511 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 7
4512
4513- Fix a bug in failover where we weren't sending updates after a
4514 transition from communications-interrupted to normal.
4515
4516- Handle expired/released/reset -> free transition according to the
4517 protocol specification (this works - the other way not only wasn't
4518 conformant, but also didn't work).
4519
4520- Add a control object in both client and server that allows either
4521 daemon to be shut down cleanly.
4522
4523- When writing a lease, if we run out of disk space, shut down the
4524 output file and insist on writing a new one before proceeding.
4525
4526- In the server, if the OMAPI listener port is occupied, keep trying
4527 to get it, rather than simply giving up and exiting.
4528
4529- Support fetching variables from leases and also updating and adding
4530 variables to leases via OMAPI.
4531
4532- If two failover peers have wildly different clocks, refuse to start
4533 doing failover.
4534
4535- Fix a bug in the DNS update code that could cause core dumps when
4536 running on alpha processors.
4537
4538- Fixed a bug in ddns updates for static lease entries, thanks to a
4539 patch from Andrey M Linkevitch.
4540
4541- Add support for Darwin/MacOS X
4542
4543- Install omshell (including new documentation).
4544
4545- Support DNS updates in the client (this is a very obscure feature
4546 that most DHCP client users probably will not be able to use).
4547
4548- Somewhat cleaner status logging in the client.
4549
4550- Make OMAPI key naming syntax compatible with the way keys are
4551 actually named (key names are domain names).
4552
4553- Fix a bug in the lease file writer.
4554
4555- Install DHCP ISC headers in a different place than BIND 9 ISC
4556 headers, to avoid causing trouble in BIND 9 builds.
4557
4558- Don't send updates for attributes on an object when the attributes
4559 haven't changed. Support deleting attributes on remote objects.
4560
4561- Fix a number of bugs in omshell, and add the unset and refresh
4562 statements.
4563
4564- Handle disconnects in OMAPI a little bit more intelligently (so that
4565 the caller gets ECONNRESET instead of EINVAL).
4566
4567- Fix a bunch of bugs in the handling of clients that have existing
4568 leases when the try to renew their leases while failover is
4569 operating.
4570
eaf0b302
TL
4571 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 6
4572
4573- Fix a core dump that could happen when processing a DHCPREQUEST from
4574 a client that had a host declaration that contained both a
4575 fixed-address declaration and a dhcp-client-identifier option
4576 declaration, if the client identifier was longer than nine bytes.
4577
4578- Fix a memory leak that could happen in certain obscure cases when
4579 using omapi to manipulate leases.
4580
4581- Fix some bugs and omissions in omshell.
4582
eaf0b302
TL
4583 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 5
4584
4585- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that prevented objects in
4586 chains from having their reference counts decreased on dereference.
4587
4588- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that would prevent object
4589 chains from being freed upon removal of the last reference external
4590 to the chain.
4591
4592- Fix a number of other memory leaks in the OMAPI protocol subsystem.
4593
4594- Add code in the OMAPI protocol handler to trace memory leakage.
4595
4596- Clean up the memory allocation/reference history printer.
4597
98311e4b 4598- Support input of dotted quads and colon-separated hex lists as
eaf0b302

4603- Conditionalize a piece of trace code that wasn't conditional.
4604
4605 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 4
4606
4607- Fix a bug that would prevent leases from being abandoned properly on
4608 DHCPDECLINE.
4609
4610- Fix failover peer OMAPI support.
4611
4612- In failover, correctly handle expiration of leases. Previously,
4613 leases would never be reclaimed because they couldn't make the
4614 transition from EXPIRED to FREE.
4615
4616- Fix some broken failover state transitions.
4617
4618- Documentation fixes.
4619
4620- Take out an unnecessary check in DHCP relay agent information option
4621 stashing code that was preventing REBINDING clients from rebinding.
4622
4623- Prevent failover peers from allocating leases in DHCPREQUEST
4624 processing if the lease belongs to the other server.
4625
4626- Record server version in lease file introductory comment.
4627
4628- Correctly report connection errors in OMAPI and failover.
4629
4630- Make authentication signature algorithm name comparisons in OMAPI
4631 case-insensitive.

4647 the billing correctly - the previous method could overbill as a
4648 result of duplicate leases.

4655 Herranz for figuring out the main problem.

4666
4667- Change the conditions under which a DHCPRELEASE is actually
4668 committed to be consistent with lease binding states rather than
98311e4b 4669 using the lease end time. This may fix some problems with the
892fe689
TL
4670 billing class code.
4671
4672- Fix a bug where lease updates would fail on Digital Unix (and maybe
4673 others) because malloc was called with a size of zero.

4676 trace file.

TL
4680- Fix the dhcp_failover_put_message to not attempt to allocate a
4681 zero-length buffer. Some versions of malloc() fail if you try to
4682 allocate a zero-length buffer, and this was causing problems on,
4683 e.g., Digital Unix.
4684
4685- Fix a case where the failover code was printing an error message
4686 when no error had occurred.
4687
4688- Fix a problem where when a server went down and back up again, the
4689 peer would not see a state transition and so would stay in the
4690 non-communicating state.
4691
4692- Be smart about going into recover_wait.
4693
4694- Fix a problem in the failover implementation where peers would fail
4695 to come into sync if interrupted in the RECOVER state. This could
4696 have been the cause of some problems people have reported recently.
4697
4698- Fix a problem with billing classes where they would not be unbilled
4699 when the client lease expired.
4700
4701- If select fails, figure out which descriptor is bad, and cut it out
4702 of the I/O loop. This prevents a potentially nasty spin. I
4703 haven't heard any report it in a while, but it came up consistently
4704 in testing.
4705
4706- Fix a bug in the relay agent where if you specified interfaces on
4707 the command line, it would fail.
4708
4709- Fix a couple of small bugs in the omapi connection object (no known
4710 user impact).
4711
4712- Add the missing 3.0 Beta 1 lease conversion script.

4715 they're executable.

4728 Compaq Alpha systems. This patchlevel is not a release candidate
4729 because of this bug. The bug should be straightforward to fix, so
4730 a new release candidate is expected shortly.

4757 checked. This may have been causing core dumps.
4758
4759- When parsing the lease file, if a lease declaration includes a
4760 billing class statement, and the lease already has a billing class,
4761 unbill the old class.
4762
4763- When processing failover transactions, where acks will be deferred,
4764 process the state transition immediately.
4765
4766- Don't try to use the new SIOCGIFCONF buffer size detection code on
4767 Linux 2.0, which doesn't provide this functionality.
4768

4773- Fix a parse error in the client when setting up an omapi listener.
4774
4775- Document the -n and -g flags to the client.
4776
4777- Make sure there is always a stdin and stdout on startup. This
4778 prevents shell scripts from accidentally writing error messages into
4779 configuration files that happen to be opened as stderr.
4780
4781- If an interface is removed, the client will now notice that it is
4782 gone rather than spinning. This has only been tested on NetBSD.
4783
4784- The client will attempt to get an address even if it can't create a
4785 lease file.

4832- Implement omshell, which can be used to do arbitrary things to the
4833 server (in theory). (Damien Neil)
4834
4835- Fix a case where if a client had two different leases the server could
4836 actually dereference the second one when it hadn't been referenced,
4837 leading to memory corruption and a core dump. (James Brister)
4838
4839- Fix a case where a client could request the address of another client's
4840 lease, but find_lease wouldn't detect that the other client had it, and
4841 would attempt to allocate it to the client, resulting in a lease conflict
4842 message.
4843
4844- Fix a case where a client with more than one client identifier could be
4845 given a lease where the hardware address was correct but the client
4846 identifier was not, resulting in a lease conflict message.
4847
98311e4b 4848- Fix a problem where the server could write out a colon-separated
3350f5b7
TL
4849 hex list as a value for a variable, which would then not parse.
4850 The fix is to always write strings as quoted strings, with any
4851 non-printable characters quoted as octal escape sequences. So
4852 a file written the old way still won't work, but new files written
4853 this way will work.

4855- Fix documentation for sending non-standard options.
4856
4857- Use unparsable names for unknown options. WARNING: this will
4858 break any configuration files that use the option-nnn convention.
4859 If you want to continue to use this convention for some options,
4860 please be sure to write a definition, like this:
4861
4862 option option-nnn code nnn = string;
4863
4864 You can use a descriptive name instead of option-nnn if you like.
4865
4866- Fix a problem where we would see a DHCPDISCOVER/DHCPOFFER/
4867 DHCPREQUEST/DHCPACK/DHCPREQUEST/DHCPNAK sequence. This was the
4868 result of a deceptively silly bug in supersede_lease.
4869

TL
4883- Add support for transaction tracing. This allows the state of the
4884 DHCP server on startup, and all the subsequent transactions, to be
4885 recorded in a file which can then be played back to reproduce the
4886 behaviour of the DHCP server. This can be used to quickly
4887 reproduce bugs that cause core dumps or corruption, and also for
4888 tracking down memory leaks.
4889
4890- Incorporate some bug fixes provided by Joost Mulders for the DLPI
4891 package which should clear up problems people have been seeing on
4892 Solaris.
4893
4894- Fix bugs in the handling of options stored as linked lists (agent
4895 options, fqdn options and nwip options) that could cause memory
4896 corruption and core dumps.

4899 not being send in some cases when they were needed.

4943
4944- Finish fixing a long-standing bug in the agent options code. This
4945 was causing core dumps and failing to operate correctly - in
4946 particular, agent option stashing wasn't working. Agent option
4947 stashing should now be working, meaning that agent options can be
4948 used in class statements to control address allocation.
4949

4957- Fix a compile error on some older operating systems.

4960 transmitting packets to the server. Handy for debugging; not much
4961 practical use otherwise.

4972- Work around the Win98 DHCP client, which NUL-terminates the FQDN
4973 option.

4975- Work around Win98 and Win2k clients that will claim they want to do
4976 the update even when they don't have any way to do it.
4977
4978- Fix some log messages that can be printed when failover is operating
4979 that were not printing enough information.
4980
4981- It was possible for a DHCPDISCOVER to get an allocation even when
4982 the state machine said the server shouldn't be responding.
4983
4984- Don't load balance DHCPREQUESTs from clients in RENEWING and
4985 REBINDING, since in RENEWING, if we heard it, it's for us, and in
4986 REBINDING, the client wouldn't have got to REBINDING if its primary
4987 were answering.

5000 decoder that would prevent any key with an 'x' in its base64
5001 representation from working correctly.
5002
5003- Thanks to Chris Cheney and Michael Sanders, we have a fix for the
5004 hang that they both spotted in the DHCP server - when
5005 one-lease-per-client was set, the code to release the "other" lease
5006 could spin.
5007
5008- Fix a problem with alignment of the input buffer in bpf in cases
5009 where two packets arrive in the same bpf read.
5010
5011- Fix a problem where the relay agent would crash if you specified an
5012 interface name on the command line.
5013
5014- Add the ability to conditionalize client behaviour based on the
5015 client state.
5016
5017- Add support for the FQDN option, and added support for a new way of
5018 doing ddns updates (ddns update style interim) that allows more than
5019 one DHCP server to update the DNS for the same network(s). This
5020 was implemented by Damien Neil with some additional functionality
5021 added by Ted Lemon.
5022
5023- Damien added a "log" statement, so that the configuration file can
5024 be made to log debugging information and other information.
5025
5026- Fixed a bug that caused option buffers not to be terminated with an
5027 end option.
5028
5029- Fixed a long-standing bug in the support for option spaces where the
5030 options are stored as an ordered list rather than in a hash table,
5031 which could theoretically result in memory pool corruption.
5032
5033- Prevent hardware declarations with no actual hardware address from
5034 being written as something unparsable, and behave correctly in the
5035 face of a null hardware address on input.
5036
5037- Allow key names to be FQDNs, and qualify the algorithm name if it is
5038 specified unqualified.
5039
5040- Modify the DDNS update code so that it never prints the "resolver
5041 failed" message, but instead says *why* the resolver failed.

5044 RFC.

5106- Fix a possible DoS attack where a client could cause the checksummer
5107 to dump core. This was a read, not a write, so it shouldn't be
5108 possible to exploit it any further than that.
5109
5110- Implement client- and server-side support for using the Client FQDN
5111 option.
5112
5113- Support for other option spaces in the client has been added. This
5114 means that it is now possible to define a vendor option space on the
5115 client, request options in that space from the server (which must
5116 define the same option space), and then use those options in the
5117 client. This also allows NWIP and Client FQDN options to be used
5118 meaningfully.
5119
5120- Add object initializer support. This means that objects can now be
5121 initialized to something other than all-zeros when allocated, which
5122 makes, e.g., the interface object support code a little more robust.
5123
5124- Fix an off-by-one bug in the host stuffer. This was causing host

5163- Fix class matching so that match if can be combined with match or
5164 spawn with.

5175 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 4
5176
5177- Incorporated Peter Marschall's proposed change to array/record
5178 parsing, which allows things like the slp-agent option to be encoded
5179 correctly. Thanks very much to Peter for taking the initiative to
5180 do this, and for doing such a careful job of it (e.g., updating the
5181 comments)!
5182
5183- Added an encoding for the slp-agent option. :')

5192- Fix client script files other than that for NetBSD to actually use
5193 make_resolv_conf as documented in the manual page.
5194
5195- Fix a bug in the packet handling code that could result in a core
5196 dump.
5197
5198- Fix a bug in the bootp code where responses on the local net would
5199 be sent to the wrong MAC address. Thanks to Jerry Schave for
5200 catching this one.

5202 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 3
5203
5204- In the DHCP client, execute client statements prior to using the values
45d545f0 5205 of options, so that the client configuration can overridden, e.g., the
490eb5e7
TL
5206 lease renewal time.
5207
5208- Fix a reference counting error that would result in very reproducible
5209 failures in updates, as well as occasional core dumps, if a zone was
5210 declared without a key.
5211
5212- Fix some Linux 2.0 compilation problems.
5213
5214- Fix a bug in scope evaluation during execution of "on" statements that
5215 caused values not to be recorded on leases.
5216
5217- If the dhcp-max-message-size option is specified in scope, and the
5218 client didn't send this option, use the one specified in scope to
5219 determine the maximum size of the response.

5229- Fix a place dhcprequest() where static leases could leak.
5230
5231- Include memory.h in omapip_p.h so that we don't get warnings about

5234 Changes since 3.0 Beta 2 Patchlevel 1
5235
5236- Notice when SIOCFIGCONF returns more data than fit in the buffer -
5237 allocate a larger buffer, and retry. Thanks to Greg Fausak for
5238 pointing this out.
5239
5240- In the server, if no interfaces were configured, report an error and
5241 exit.
5242
5243- Don't ever record a state of 'startup'.
