109fa1d0 12While release 4.4.2 is primarily a maintenance release that addresses a number
82e0ea57
TM
13of defects, it does introduce a few new features:
14
e4b6b033
TM
15- Keama - Keama is a migration utility that assists in converting ISC DHCP
16 server configuration files to Kea configuration files. It is found in the
17 keama subdirectory and includes a README.md file with instructions on how
18 to build it as well as a manpage on its usage.
82e0ea57
TM
19
20- Two new server parameters related to ping checking were added:
21
e4b6b033
TM
221. ping-cltt-secs which allows the user to specify the number of seconds
23 that must elapse since CLTT before a ping check is conducted.
82e0ea57 24
e4b6b033
TM
252. ping-timeout-ms which allows the user to specify the amount of time the
26 server waits for a ping-check response in milliseconds rather than in
27 seconds.
82e0ea57
TM
28
29In general, the areas of focus for ISC DHCP 4.4 were:
397599cb
TM
30
311. Dynamic DNS additions
322. dhclient improvements
333. Support for dynamic shared libraries
34
35Dynamic DNS Improvements:
36
37- We added three new server configuration parameters which influence DDNS
38 conflict resolution:
39
40 1. ddns-dual-stack-mixed-mode - alters DNS conflict resolution behavior
41 to mitigate issues with non-compliant clients in dual stack environments.
42
43 2. ddns-guard-id-must-match - relaxes the DHCID RR client id matching
44 requirement of DNS conflict resolution.
45
46 3. ddns-other-guard-is-dynamic - alters dual-stack-mixed-mode behavior to
47 allow unguarded DNS entries to be overwritten in certain cases
48
49- The server now honors update-static-leases parameter for static DHCPv6
50 hosts.
51
52dhclient Improvements:
53
a804fcc0 54 - We've added three command line parameters to dhclient:
397599cb
TM
55
56 1. --prefix-len-hint - directs dhclient to use the given length as
57 the prefix length hint when requesting prefixes
58
a804fcc0 59 2. --decline-wait-time - instructs the client to wait the given number
397599cb
TM
60 of seconds after declining an IPv4 address before issuing a discover
61
a804fcc0
TM
62 3. --address-prefix-len - specifies the prefix length passed by dhclient
63 into the client script (via the environment variable ip6_prefixlen) with
64 each IPv6 address. We added this parameter because we have changed the
65 default value from 64 to 128 in order to be compliant with RFC3315bis
66 draft (-09, page 64) and RFC5942, Section 4, point 1.
67 **WARNING**: The new default value of 128 may not be backwardly compatible
68 with your environment. If you are operating without a router, such as
7932503f 69 between VMs on a host, you may find they cannot see each other with prefix
a804fcc0
TM
70 length of 128. In such cases, you'll need to either provide routing or use
71 the command line parameter to set the value to 64. Alternatively you may
72 change the default at compile time by setting DHCLIENT_DEFAULT_PREFIX_LEN
73 in includes/site.h.
74
397599cb
TM
75 - dhclient will now generate a DHCPv6 DECLINE message when the client script
76 indicates a DAD failure
77
78Dynamic shared library support:
79
80 Configure script, configure.ac+lt, which supports libtool is now provided
81 with the source tar ball. This script can be used to configure ISC DHCP
9de870cc 82 to build with libtool and thus use dynamic shared libraries.
4ff4053b 83
4aa6129a
TM
84Other Highlights:
85
86 - The server now supports dhcp-cache-threshold for DHCPv6 operations
87 - The server now supports DHPv6 address allocation based on EUI-64 DUIDs
88 - Experimental support for alternate relay port in the both the server
89 and relay for IPv4, IPv6 and 4o6 (see: draft-ietf-dhc-relay-port-10.txt)

105
4ad524bd 106 Changes since 4.4.2b1 (Bug Fixes)
e4b6b033
TM
107
108- Added a clarification on DHCPINFORMs and server authority to
109 dhcpd.conf.5
110 [Gitlab #37]
111
5c23b618
TM
112- Only emit lease scrubbing log messages when DEBUG_FAILOVER_MESSAGES
113 is defined.
114 [Gitlab #72]
115
4ad524bd
TM
116- Added the interface name to socket initialization failure log messages.
117 Prior to this the log messages stated only the error reason without
118 stating the target interface.
119 [Gitlab #75]
120
bba906f6 121- Corrected buffer pointer logic in dhcrelay functions that manipulate
afb66401
TM
122 agent relay options. Thanks to Thomas Imbert of MSRC Vulnerabilities
123 & Mitigations for reporting the issue.
bba906f6
TM
124 [#71]
125
39788b3d
TM
126- Corrected unresolved symbol errors building relay_unittests when
127 configured to build using libtool.
128 [#80]
129
cce04313 130 Changes since 4.4.1 (New Features)
a5b21e16
TM
131
132- A new configuration parameter, ping-cltt-secs (v4 operation only), has
133 been added to allow the user to specify the number of seconds that must
134 elapse since CLTT before a ping check is conducted. Prior to this, the
0cd94b5e 135 value was hard coded at 60 seconds. Please see the server man pages for
a5b21e16
TM
136 a more detailed discussion.
137 [ISC-Bugs #36283]
cce04313 138
cb89a691
TM
139- A new configuration parameter, ping-timeout-ms (v4 operation only),
140 has been added that allows the user to specify the amount of time
141 the server waits for a ping-check response in milliseconds rather
142 than in seconds (via ping-timeout). When greater than zero, the value
143 of ping-timeout-ms will override the value of ping-timeout. Thanks
144 to Jay Doran from Bluecat Networks for suggesting this feature.
0cd94b5e 145 [Gitlab #10]
cb89a691 146
2ca63671
TM
147- An experimental tool called, Keama (KEA Migration Assistant), which helps
148 translate ISC DHCP configurations to Kea configurations, is now included
149 in the distribution.
150 [Gitlab #34]
151
cce04313
TM
152 Changes since 4.4.1 (Bug Fixes)
153
154- Corrected a misuse of the BIND9 DDNS API which caused DDNS updates to be
155 carried out over TCP rather than UDP. The coding error was exposed by
156 migration to BIND9 9.11. Thanks to Jinmei Tatuya at Infoblox for
157 reporting the issue.
158 [ISC-Bugs #47757]
159
c07eb442
TM
160- Bind9 now defaults to requiring python to build. The Makefile for
161 building Bind9 when bundled with ISC DHCP was modified to turn off
162 this dependency.
0cd94b5e 163 [Gitlab #3]
9ef78585
TM
164
165- Corrected a dual-stack mixed-mode issue that occurs when both
166 ddns-guard-id-must-match and ddns-other-guard-is-dynamic
167 are enabled and that caused the server to incorrectly interpret
168 the presence of a guard record belonging to another client as
169 a case of no guard record at all. Thanks to Fernando Soto
170 from BlueCat Networks for reporting this issue.
0cd94b5e 171 [Gitlab #1]
c07eb442 172
1c779d3b
TM
173- Corrected a compilation issue that occurred when building without DNS
174 update ability (e.g. by undefining NSUPDATE).
0cd94b5e 175 [Gitlab #16]
1c779d3b 176
fce94f06
TM
177- Corrected an issue that was causing the server, when running in
178 DHPCv4 mode, to segfault when class lease limits are reached.
dfcbe359
TM
179 Thanks to Peter Nagy at Porion-Digital for reporting the matter
180 and submitting a patch.
0cd94b5e 181 [Gitlab #13]
fce94f06 182
753d458b 183- Made minor changes to eliminate warnings when compiled with GCC 9.
71277027 184 Thanks to Brett Neumeier for bringing the matter to our attention.
0cd94b5e
TM
185 [Gitlab #15]
186
187- Fixed potential memory leaks in parser error message generation
188 spotted by Coverity, CIDs: 1448191, 1448193, 1448194, 1448195
189 [Gitlab #30]
190
191- Updated URL of IEEE oui.txt in contrib/dhcp-lease-list.pl. Thanks
192 to Tommy Smith for contributing the patch.
193 [Gitlab #26]
194
195- Fixed define flags when using SO_BINDTODEVICE. Thanks to Joe LeVeque for
196 reporting the issue.
197 [GitLab #19]
198
199- Applied a patch from OpenBSD to always set the scope id of outbound
200 DHPCv6 packets. Note this change only applies when compiling under
201 OpenBSD. Thanks to Brad Smith at OpenBSD from bringing it to our
202 attention.
203 [Gitlab #33]
204
205- Modified dhclient to not discard config file leases that are
206 duplicates of server-provided leases and to retain such leases
207 after they have been used as the fallback active lease and
208 DHCP service has been restored. This allows them to be used
82e0ea57 209 more than once during the lifetime of a dhclient instance.
0cd94b5e
TM
210 This applies to DHCPv4 operation only.
211 [Gitlab #9]
212
213- Corrected a number of reference counter and zero-length buffer leaks.
afb66401
TM
214 Thanks to Christopher Ertl of MSRC Vulnerabilities & Mitigations for
215 pointing them out.
0cd94b5e
TM
216 [Gitlab #57]
217
218- Closed a small window of time between the installation of graceful
219 shutdown signal handlers and application context startup, during which
220 the receipt of shutdown signal would cause a REQUIRE() assertion to
221 occur. Note this issue is only visible when compiling with
222 ENABLE_GENTLE_SHUTDOWN defined.
223 [Gitlab #53]
224
225- Corrected a buffer overflow that can occur when retrieving zone
226 names that are more than 255 characters in length.
227 [Gitlab #20]
228
229- The "d" domain name option format was incorrectly handled as text
230 instead of RFC 1035 wire format. Thanks to Jay Doran at BlueCat Networks
231 for reporting this issue.
232 [Gitlab #2]
233
234- Improved the error message issued when a host declaration has both
235 a uid and a dhcp-client-identifier. Server configuration parsing will
236 now fail if a host declaration specifies more than one uid.
237 [Gitlab #7]
753d458b 238
4adcee93
TM
239- Updated developer's documentation on building and running unit tests.
240 Removed support for --with-atf=bind as BIND9 no longer bundles in ATF
241 source.
242 [Gitlab #35]
243
83175640
TM
244- Fixed a syntax error in ldap.c which cropped up under Ubuntu
245 18.04.1/gcc 7.4.0. Thanks to Charles Hedrick for pointing it out.
246 [Gitlab #51]
247
2661204d
TM
248- Added clarification to dhcp-options.5 section on ip-address values
249 describing the first-use DNS resolution of options with hostnames as
250 values (e.g. next-server).
251 [Gitlab #28]
252
9a2f9db5
TM
253- The option format for the server option omapi-key was changed to a
254 format type 'k' (key name); while server options ldap-port and
255 ldap-init-retry were changed to 'L' (unsigned 32-bit integer). These
256 three options were inadvertantly broken when the 'd' format content
257 was changed to comply with RFC 1035 wire format (see Gitlab #2).
258 [Gitlab #68]
259
cce04313
TM
260 Changes since 4.4.0 (New Features)
261- none
cce04313 262 Changes since 4.4.0 (Bug Fixes)
6826003b
TM
263
264- A delayed-ack value of 0 (the default), now correctly disables the delayed
265 feature. A change in 4.4.0 prohibited lease updates marking leases active
266 from be written to the lease file when delayed-ack is 0. This in turn,
267 caused servers to lose active lease assignments upon restart.
268 [ISC-Bugs #47141]
269
197b26f2
TM
270! Option reference count was not correctly decremented in error path
271 when parsing buffer for options. Reported by Felix Wilhelm, Google
272 Security Team.
273 [ISC-Bugs #47140]
c5931725
TM
274 CVE: CVE-2018-5733
275
276! Corrected an issue where large sized 'X/x' format options were causing
277 option handling logic to overwrite memory when expanding them to human
278 readable form. Reported by Felix Wilhelm, Google Security Team.
279 [ISC-Bugs #47139]
280 CVE: CVE-2018-5732
197b26f2 281
d5118758
TM
282- Added use of new Bind9 compatibility header files, that are now necessary
283 to supply type definitions for primitive data types, removed from Bind9
284 proper. Altered util/bind.sh to pull from Bind9 repo on gitlab.
285 [ISC-Bugs #48072]
286 [ISC-Bugs #48071]
287
d394b602
TM
288 Changes since 4.4.0b1 (New Features)
289
290- Duplicate address detection when binding to a new IPv6 address was added
291 to the following dhclient scripts: linux,freebsd,netbsd,openbsd, and macos.
292 The scripts will check for DAD errors after binding to a new IPv6 address
293 for at most --dad-wait-time seconds. If a DAD error is detected the script
294 will exit with a value of 3, instructing dhclient to decline the address. If
295 dad-wait-time is zero (the default), DAD error checking is not peformed.
296 [ISC-Bugs 46805]
297
efd3b1e2
TM
298- Support for sending and receiving additional DHCP4 options has been added
299 to both the dhcpd and dhclient. Specifically: option codes 93,94, and 97
300 (RFC 4578); code 150 (RFC 5859); and codes 209,219, and 211 (RFC 5071).
301 Beyond configuring, sending, requesting, and receiving these options neither
302 server nor client apply any additional logic based on their values.
303 Thanks to Peter Lewis for requesting this change.
304 [ISC-Bugs 47062]
305
d638452e
TM
306 Changes since 4.4.0b1 (Bug Fixes)
307
308- Added clarifying text to dhcpd.conf.5 explaining the class match expressions
309 cannot rely on the results of executable statements.
310 [ISC-Bugs #45451]
311
db4e4aa2
TM
312- Fixed a bug which causes dhcpd and dhclient to crash on certain
313 systems when given relative path names for lease or pid files on
314 the command line. Affected systems are those on which the C library
315 function, realpath() does not support a second parameter value of
316 NULL (see manpages for realpath(3)).
317 [ISC-Bugs #46957]
318
b94669fa
TM
319- Fixed a build issue when building with embedded BIND9 under OpenBSD that
320 was causing BIND9 build to not generate dns/enumclass.h and dns/enumtype.h.
321 [ISC-Bugs #46971]
322
de964f22
TM
323- Added <dhcp>/m4/README to the distribution tarball. Some versions of
324 ac_local() treat the absence of the m4 subdirectory as error rather than
325 warning. This was causing the call to autoreconf, necessary for building
326 with libtool, to fail.
327 [ISC-Bugs #47075]
328
4aa6129a 329 Changes since 4.4.0a1 (New Features)
7512d88b 330
4aa6129a
TM
331- Added experimental support for relay port (draft-ietf-dhc-relay-port-10.txt)
332 feature for DHCPv4, DHCPv6 and DHCPv4-over-DHCPv6. Relay port has to be
333 enabled at compile time via --enable-relay-port and is fully backward
334 compatible (i.e. works with previous implementations of servers and relays
335 using the standard ports). A new --rp <relay-port> command line option
336 specifies to dhcrelay an alternate source port for upstream (i.e. toward
337 the server) messages. Thanks to Naiming Shen and Enke Chen of Cisco
338 systems for submitting these patches.
339 [ISC-Bugs #44535]
340
341- Added --release-on-roam to dhcpd server. When enabled and the server detects
342 that a DHCPv6 client (IAID+DUID) has roamed to a new network, it will release
343 the pre-existing leases on the old network and emit a log statement similar
344 to the following:
345
346 "Client: <id> roamed to new network, releasing lease: <address>"
347
348 The server will carry out all of the same steps that would normally occur
349 when a client explicitly releases a lease. This behavior is disabled by
350 default and may only be specified globally. Prior to this the server renders
351 the leases unavailable until they expire or the server is restarted. Clients
352 that need leases in multiple networks must supply a unique IAID in each IA.
353 When release-on-roam is disabled (the default) the server maintains the
354 prior behavior of making such leases unavailable until they expire or the
355 server is restarted. Clients that need leases in multiple networks must
356 supply a unique IAID in each IA. This parameter may only be specified at
357 the global level. Thanks to Fernando Soto from BlueCat Networks for
358 suggesting this change.
359 [ISC-Bugs #44576]
360 [ISC-Bugs #46849]
361
362- Support for delayed-ack is now compiled in by default. Prior to this
363 it had to be enabled at compile time via --enable-delayed-acks. The
364 default value for delayed-ack, however, has been changed from 28 to 0
365 (i.e. disabled). This was done to minimize the impact on users not
366 currently using the feature. Please note that the delayed-ack feature
367 is not currently compatible with support for DHPCv4-over-DHCPv6 so
368 when a 4to6 port command line argument enables this in the server the
369 delayed-ack value is reset to 0.
370 [ISC-Bugs #42446]
371
372- The server (-6) now honors the parameter, update-static-leases, for static
373 (fixed-address6) DHCPv6 leases. It is worth noting that because stateful
374 data is not retained by the server for static leases, each time a client
375 requests or renews a static lease, the server will perform DDNS updates for
376 it. This may have significant performance implications for environments
377 with many clients that request or renew static leases often. Similarly,
378 the DNS entries will not be removed by server when a client issues a RELEASE
379 nor if the lease is deleted from the configuration. In such cases the DNS
380 entries must be removed manually. This feature is disabled by default.
381 Thanks to both Bill Shirley and dgutier-at-cern-dot-ch for requesting
382 this change.
383 [ISC-Bugs #34097]
384 [ISC-Bugs #41054]
385 [ISC-Bugs #41450]
386
387- Added to the server (-6) a new statement, local-address6, which specifies
388 the source address of packets sent by the server. An additional flag,
389 bind-local-address6, disabled by default, binds the service socket to
390 to local-address6. Note that bind-local-address does not work with direct
391 clients: a relay has to forward packets to the server using the
392 local-address6 destination.
393 [ISC-Bugs #46084]
394
395 Changes since 4.4.0a1 (Bugs)
396
397- The server now recognizes environment variables PATH_DHCPD_DB and
398 PATH_DHCPD_PID. These had been incorrectly compiled out of the code
399 unless DHCPv6 support was disabled. Additionally, the server man
400 pages were corrected to accurately reflect how the server chooses
401 file names (see lease-file-name and pid-file-name statements). Thanks
7932503f
TM
402 to Fernando Soto at Bluecat Networks for bringing this matter to our
403 attention.
4aa6129a
TM
404 [ISC-Bugs #46859]
405
406- Removed an "Impossible condition" error upon exit in the dhcpd server that
407 has been shutdown via OMAPI. This condition was only apparent under Solaris
408 when building with --enable-use-sockets and --enable-ipv4-pktinfo.
409 [ISC-Bugs #36118]
410
65eed5c1 411- Corrected some minor Coverity issues: CID 1426059, 1426058, and 1426057.
4aa6129a
TM
412 [ISC-Bugs #46836]
413
414- Added missing text to dhclient.8 and expanded release note coverage
415 for --address-prefix-len changes.
7512d88b 416
0e76cb91 417 Changes since 4.3.6 (New Features)
3210786b 418
f9741514
FD
419- Added --enable-bind-install to install embedded bind includes and
420 libraries. Default is to not install them (it was the previous
421 behavior). If you'd like to change the includedir and/or libdir
5a67b030
FD
422 installation directories to something different than for ISC DHCP
423 you must pass them using the --with-bind-extra-config configuration
424 arguments.
f9741514
FD
425 [ISC-Bugs #39318]
426
007ba82a
FD
427- Added support of dynamic shared libraries with libtool. A new
428 --enable-libtool configuration parameter is available but
429 should not be used directly: *please* read the build configuration
430 section in the README file for the recommended procedure.
431 [ISC-Bugs #29402]
432
417b7b4a
TM
433- IPv6 operation now supports an EUI-64 based address allocation which will
434 calculate addresses for clients with EUI-64 DUIDs based on those DUIDs when
435 enabled by setting use-eui-64 true. The parameter may defined down to the

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

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

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

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

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

830- Added global configuration parameter, abandon-lease-time, which determines
831 the amount of time a lease remains abandoned. The default is 84600 seconds.
832 Additionaly, the server now conducts a ping check (if ping checks are
833 enabled) prior to offering an abandoned lease to client. Our thanks to

886- ISC DHCP now follows the common convention to use the base name a
887 program is invoked with (aka argv[0], vs. a builtin name) for

1095- The server now does a better check to see if it can allocate the memory
1096 for large blocks of v4 leases and should provide a slightly better error
1097 message. Note well: the server pre-allocates v4 addresses, if you use
1098 a large range, such as a /8, the server will attempt to use a large
1099 amount of memory and may not start if there either isn't enough memory
1100 or the size exceeds what the code supports.

1103- The server will now reject unicast Request, Renew, Decline, and Release
1104 messages from a client unless the server would have sent that client the
1105 dhcp6.unicast option. This behavior is in compliance with paragraph 1 in
1106 each of the sections 18.2,1, 18.2.3, 18.2.6, and 18.2.7 of RFC 3315. Prior
1107 to this, the server would simply accept the messages. Now, in order for
1108 the server to accept such a message, the server configuration must include
1109 the dhcp6.unicast option either globally or within the shared network to
1110 which the requested lease belongs. In other words, the server will map
1111 the first IA_XX address found within the client message to a shared-network
1112 and look for the presence of the unicast option there and then globally.

1181- Corrected an issue in v6 lease file parsing. Prior to this, when encountering
1182 a lease with an address for which no configured pool exists, the server was
1183 declaring the lease file corrupt and incorrectly skipping over the subsequent
1184 entry in the file. The server will now emit a log message indicating that
1185 no pool was found for the address (or prefix) and correctly resume parsing
1186 with the next entry in the lease file. Our thanks to Michal Žejdl for
1187 reporting the issue.
1188 [ISC-Bugs #39314]
1189
1190- Be more liberal in finding a subnet group associated with a static
1191 prefix. When we added the class matching code for v6 we also added
1192 a requirement that the static prefix must be within a subnet the
1193 client was in, in order to find the proper statements. We now
1194 look for a subnet based on the prefix, failing that on the static
1195 address for the client and failing that on the shared network
1196 itself.
1197 [ISC-Bugs #38329]
1198
1199- Add a new action expression "parse_vendor_options", which can be used
1200 to parse a vendor-encapsualted-option received by the server based on
1201 the encoding specified by the vendor-option-space statement.
1202 [ISC-Bugs #36449]

1209- Relax the requirement that prefix pools must be within the subnet.
1210 This was added in as part of #32453 in order to avoid configuration

1212 within the same subnet and many people configure them in that fashion.

1246
1247- Handle an out of memory condition in the client a bit better.
1248 Thanks to Frédéric Perrin from Brocade for finding the issue
1249 and suggesting a patch.
1250 [ISC-Bugs #39279]
1251
1252 Changes since 4.3.2rc2
1253- None
1254
1255 Changes since 4.3.2rc1
1256
1257- Corrected a compilation error introduced by the fix for ISC-Bugs #37415.
1258 The error occurs on Linux variants that do not support VLAN tag information
1259 in packet auxiliary data. The configure script now only enables inclusion
1260 of the VLAN tag-based logic if it is supported by the underlying OS.
1261 [ISC-Bugs #38677]
1262
1263 Changes since 4.3.2b1
1264
1265- Specifying the option, --disable-debug, on the configure script command line
1266 now disables debug features. Prior to this, specifying --disable-debug
1267 incorrectly enabled debug features. Thanks to Gustavo Zacarias for reporting
1268 the issue.
1269 [ISC-Bugs #37780]
1270
1271- Unit test execution now uses a path augmented during configuration
1272 processing of the --with-atf option to locate ATF runtime tools, atf-run
1273 and atf-report. For most installations of ATF, this should alleviate the
1274 need to manually include them in the PATH, as was formerly required.
1275 If the configure script cannot locate the tools it will emit a warning,
1276 informing the user that the tools must be in the PATH when running unit
1277 tests.
1278 Secondly, please note that "make check" will now exit with a failure status
1279 code (non-zero) if one or more unit tests fail. This means that invoking
1280 "make check" from an upper level directory will cause the make process to
1281 STOP after the first test subdirectory with failed test(s). To force all
1282 tests in all subdirectories to run, regardless of individual test outcome,
1283 use the command "make -k check".
1284 [ISC-Bugs #38619]
1285
1286 Changes since 4.3.1
1287
1288- Corrected parser's right brace matching when a statement contains an error.
1289 [ISC-Bugs #36021]
1290
1291- TSIG-authenticated dynamic DNS updates now support the use of these
1292 additional algorithms: hmac-sha1, hmac-sha224, hmac-sha256, hmac-sha384,
1293 and hmac-sha512
1294 [ISC-Bugs #36947]
1295
1296- Added check for invalid failover message type. Thanks to Tobias Stoeckmann
1297 working with the OpenBSD project who spotted the issue and provided the
1298 patch.
1299 [ISC-Bugs #36653]
1300
1301- Corrected rate limiting checks for bad packet logging. Thanks to Tobias
1302 Stoeckmann working with the OpenBSD project who spotted the issue and
1303 provided the patch.
1304 [ISC-Bugs #36897]
1305
1306- Log statements depicting what files will be used by the server now occur
1307 after the configuration file has been processed.
1308 [ISC-Bugs #36671]
1309
1310- Addressed Coverity issues reported as of 07-31-2014:
1311 [ISC-Bugs #36712] Corrects Coverity reported "high" impact issues.
1312 [ISC-Bugs #36933] Corrects Coverity reported "medium" impact issues
1313 [ISC-Bugs #37708] Fixes compilation error in dst_api.c seen in older
1314 compilers that was introduced by #36712
1315
1316- Server now supports a failover split value of 256.
1317 [ISC-Bugs] #36664]
1318
1319- Remove unneeded error #defines. These defines were included in case
1320 external programs required the older versions of the macro. They
1321 have been #ifdeffed for now and will be removed at a future date.
1322 See site.h for the #define to include them again, but you should
1323 switch to using the DHCP_R_* versions instead of the ISC_R_* versions.
1324 Also ISC_R_MULTIPLE has been removed as it is also defined in bind.
1325 [ISC-Bugs #37128]
1326
1327- Added checks in range6 and prefix6 statement parsing to ensure addresses
1328 are within the declared subnet. Thanks to Jiri Popelka at Red Hat for the
1329 bug report and patch.

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

1497- Remove more unused RCSID tags. These weren't noticed in 4.3 as
1498 the code isn't used anymore but we remove them here to keep the
1499 code consistent across versions.

1589- Add a #define to specify the prefix length used when a client attempts
1590 to configure an address. This can be modified by editing includes/site.h.
1591 By default it is set to 64. While 128 might be a better choice it would
1592 also be a change for currently running systems, so we have left it at 64.

1595- Add a run time option to the client "-df" to allow the administrator to
1596 point to a second lease file the client can search for a DUID. This can
1597 be used to allow a v4 and a v6 instance of the client to share a DUID.
1598 The second file will only be searched if there isn't a DUID in the main
1599 lease file and the DUID will be written out to the main lease file.

SR
1649
1650- If a client renews before 'dhcp-cache-threshold' percent of its lease
1651 has elapsed (default 25%), the server will reuse the allocated lease
1652 (provide a lease within the currently allocated lease-time) rather
1653 than extend or renew the lease. This absolves the server of needing
1654 to perform an fsync() operation on the lease database before reply,
1655 which improves performance. [ISC-Bugs #22228]
80778e94 1656 Updated this patch to support asynchronous DDNS. If the server is
adb95d23 1657 attempting to do DDNS on a lease it should be updated and written to
4809ef5c 1658 disk even if that wouldn't be necessary due to the thresholding.

1671- Add a perl script in the contrib directory, dhcp-lease-list.pl, which

1684- Update the DDNS code to current standards and allow for sharing
1685 of DDNS entries between v4 and v6 clients. The new code is used
1686 if the ddns-update-style is set to "standard", the older code is
1687 still available if ddns-update-style is set to "interim". The
1688 oldest DDNS code "ad-hoc" has been removed. Thanks to Thomas Pegeot

SR
1693- Add a configuration option to the server to suppress using fsync().
1694 Enabling this option will mean that fsync() is never called. This
1695 may provide better performance but there is also a risk that a lease
1696 will not be properly written to the disk after it has been issued
1697 to a client and before the server stops. Using this option is
1698 not recommended.

1701- Add some logging statements to indicate when the server is ready
1702 to serve. One statement is emitted after the server has finished
1703 reading its files and is about to enter the dispatch loop.
1704 This is "Server starting service.".
1705 The second is emitted when a server determines that both it and
1706 its failover peer are in the normal state.

80778e94 1719 to find a reasonable nameserver via a DNS resolver. This restores
e54ff84f
SR
1720 some functionality that was lost in the transition to asynchronous
1721 DDNS. Due to the lack of security and increase in fragility of the
1722 system when using this feature we strongly recommend the use of
1723 appropriate zone statements rather than using this functionality.

SR
1726- Add support for specifying the address from which to send
1727 DDNS updates on the DHCP server. There are two new options

1729 one instance of their respective address types.

7dc4e69c 1765
01a44a77
SR
1766- An optimization described in the failover protocol draft is now included,
1767 which permits a DHCP server operating in communications-interrupted state
1768 to 'rewind' a lease to the state most recently transmitted to its peer,
1769 greatly increasing a server's endurance in communications-interrupted.
1770 This is supported using a new 'rewind state' record on the dhcpd.leases
1771 entry for each lease.
c5bc8b1a 1772
01a44a77 1773- Fix the trace code which was broken by the changes to the DDNS code.
d0a10f6a 1774
01a44a77
SR
1775- Update the fsync code to work with the changes to the DDNS code. It now
1776 uses a timer instead of noticing if there are no more packets to process.
dc9d7b08 1777
01a44a77
SR
1778- When constructing the DNS name structure from a text string append
1779 the root to relative names. This satisfies a requirement in the DNS
1780 library that names be absolute instead of relative and prevents DHCP
1781 from crashing. [ISC-Bugs #21054]

01a44a77
SR
1783- "The LDAP Patch" that has been circulating for some time, written by
1784 Brian Masney and S.Kalyanasundraram and maintained for application to
1785 the DHCP-4 sources by David Cantrell has been included. Please be
1786 advised that these sources were contributed, and do not yet meet the
1787 high standards we place on production sources we include by default.
1788 As a result, the LDAP features are only included by using a compile-time
1789 option which defaults off, and if you enable it you do so under your
1790 own recognizance. We will be improving this software over time.

1804 we would try and clean up before exiting. This could present problems
1805 when the cleanup required part of the context that wasn't available. It
1806 also didn't do much as we exited afterwards anyway. Now we simply log
1807 the error and exit. [ISC-Bugs #21093]

SR
1809- A bug was fixed that could cause the DHCPv6 server to advertise/assign a
1810 previously allocated (active) lease to a client that has changed subnets,
1811 despite being on different shared networks. Dynamic prefixes specifically
1812 allocated in shared networks also now are not offered if the client has
1813 moved. [ISC-Bugs #21152]

2027- 'dhclient' no longer waits a random interval after first starting up to
2028 begin in the INIT state. This conforms to RFC 2131, but elects not to
9a111ee8 2029 implement a 'SHOULD' direction in section 4.1. The goal of this change
73c83820 2030 is to start up faster. [ISC-Bugs #19660]
9a111ee8
TM
2031
2032- Added 'initial-delay' parameter that specifies maximum amount of time
2033 before client goes to the INIT state. The default value is 0. In previous
2034 versions of the code client could wait up to 5 seconds. The old behavior
5d082abd 2035 may be restored by using 'initial-delay 5;' in the client config file.

2037
2038- ICMP ping-check should now sit closer to precisely the number of seconds
2039 configured (or default 1), due to making use of the new microsecond
2040 scale timer internally to dhcpd. This corrects a bug where the server
2041 may immediately timeout an ICMP ping-check if it was made late in the
73c83820 2042 current second. [ISC-Bugs #19660]
5d082abd
TM
2043
2044- The DHCP client will schedule renewal and rebinding events in
2045 microseconds if the DHCP server provided a lease-time that would result
2046 in sub-1-second timers. This corrects a bug where a 2-second or lower
2047 lease-time would cause the DHCP client to enter an infinite loop by
73c83820 2048 scheduling renewal at zero seconds. [ISC-Bugs #19660]
5d082abd

2049
2050- Client lease records are recorded at most once every 15 seconds. This
2051 keeps the client from filling the lease database disk quickly on very small
73c83820 2052 lease times. [ISC-Bugs #19660]

TM
2053
2054- To defend against RFC 2131 non-compliant DHCP servers which fail to
2055 advertise a lease-time (either mangled, or zero in value) the DHCP
2056 client now adds the server to the reject list ACL and returns to INIT
2057 state to hopefully find an RFC 2131 compliant server (or retry in INIT
73c83820 2058 forever). [ISC-Bugs #19660]

2068- The DHCP server now responds to DHCPLEASEQUERY messages from agents using
2069 IP addresses not covered by a subnet in configuration. Whether or not to
2070 respond to such an agent is still governed by the 'allow leasequery;'
2071 configuration parameter, in the case of an agent not covered by a configured
2072 subnet the root configuration area is examined. Server now also returns
2073 vendor-class-id option, if client sent it. [ISC-Bugs #21094]

2292! Previously the server code was relaxed to allow packets with zero
2293 length client ids to be processed. Under some situations use of
2294 zero length client ids can cause the server to go into an infinite
2295 loop. As such ids are not valid according to RFC 2132 section 9.14
2296 the server no longer accepts them. Client ids with a length of 1
2297 are also invalid but the server still accepts them in order to
2298 minimize disruption. The restriction will likely be tightened in
2299 the future to disallow ids with a length of 1.

2462- Failover port configuration can now be left to defaults (port 647) as
2463 described in the -12 revision of the Failover draft (and assigned by
4b97eaff 2464 IANA). Thanks in part to a patch from David Cantrell at Red Hat.

2467 rather than using a broadcast address. Thanks to a patch from David
2468 Cantrell at Red Hat.

PS
2473- Added client -D option to specify DUID type to send.
2474
9e3eb22a
DH
2475- A new failover configuration parameter has been introduced for those
2476 environments where DHCP servers can be reasonably guaranteed to be
2477 "down" when the failover TCP socket is severed, "auto-partner-down".
2478 This parameter is not generally safe, and by default is disabled, so
2479 please carefully review the documentation of this parameter in the
2480 dhcpd.conf(5) manpage before determining to use it yourself.
2481
33ea4622
DH
2482- Added a configuration function, 'gethostname()', which calls the system
2483 function of the same name and presents the results as a data expression.
2484 This function can be used to incorporate the system level hostname of
2485 the system the DHCP software is operating on in responses or queries (such
2486 as including a failover partner's hostname in a dhcp message or binding
2487 scope, or having a DHCP client send any system hostname in the host-name or
2488 FQDN options by default).
2489
5a671e87
DH
2490- The dhcp-renewal-time and dhcp-rebinding-time options may now be configured
2491 for DHCPv4 operation and used independently of the dhcp-lease-time
2492 calculations. Invalid renew and rebinding times (e.g., greater than the
2493 determined lease time) are omitted.
2494
adb95d23 2495- Processing the DHCP to DNS server transactions in an asynchronous fashion,
45adf35c 2496 the DHCP server or client can now continue with its processing while
98bf1607 2497 awaiting replies from the DNS server.

2509- The notorious 'option <unknown> ... larger than buffer' log line,
2510 which is seen in some malformed DHCP client packets, was modified.
2511 It now logs the universe name, and does not log the length values
2512 (which are bogus corruption read from the packet anyway). It also
2513 carries a hopefully more useful explanation.

2518 and Request packets, if the dynamic range covering any requested addresses
2519 had been deleted from configuration.

SR
2521- Update the code to deal with GCC 4.3. This included two sets of changes.
2522 The first is to the configuration files to include the use of

2539 result in an erroneous error log message ('garbage in format string').
2540
f9453d21
DH
2541- A bug in DLPI packet transmission (Solaris, HP/UX) that caused the server
2542 to stop receiving packets is fixed. The same fix also means that the MAC
2543 address will no longer appear 'bogus' on DLPI-based systems.
2544
2545- A bug in select handling was discovered where the results of one select()
2546 call were discarded, causing the server to process the next select() call
2547 and use more system calls than required. This has been repaired - the
2548 sockets will be handled after the first return from select(), resulting in
2549 fewer system calls.
2550
a3dcc0b1
DH
2551- The update-conflict-detection feature would leave an FQDN updated without
2552 a DHCID (still currently implemented as a TXT RR). This would cause later
2553 expiration or release events to fail to remove the domain name. The feature
2554 now also inserts the client's up to date DHCID record, so records may safely
2555 be removed at expiration or release time. Thanks to a patch submitted by
2556 Christof Chen.
2557
95fd7038
DH
2558- Memory leak in the load_balance_mine() function is fixed. This would
2559 leak ~20-30 octets per DHCPDISCOVER packet while failover was in use
2560 and in normal state.
2561

2563 DEBUG #defines in includes/site.h.
2564

PS
2565- Fixed Linux client script 'unary operator expected' errors with DHCPv6.

2568 to be double-quoted. Also allow server-provided hostname to
2569 override hostnames 'localhost' and '(none)'.

DH
2571- Fixed failover reconnection retry code to continue to retry to reconnect
2572 rather than restarting the listener.

DH
2574- Compilation on Solaris with USE_SOCKETS defined in includes/site.h has
2575 been repaired. Other USE_ overrides should work better.
2576
2577- A check for the local flavor of IFNAMSIZ had a broken 'else' condition,
2578 that probably still resulted in the correct behaviour (but wouldn't use
2579 a larger defined value provided by the host OS).
2580
350576c5
DH
2581- Fixed a bug where an OMAPI socket disconnection message would not result
2582 in scheduling a failover reconnection, if the link had not negotiated a
2583 failover connect yet (e.g.: connection refused, asynch socket connect()
2584 timeouts).

2587 in failover state records.

8a4e543b
DH
2589! A stack overflow vulnerability was fixed in dhclient that could allow
2590 remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands as root on the system,
2591 or simply terminate the client, by providing an over-long subnet-mask
1b12d999 2592 option. CERT VU#410676 - CVE-2009-0692

2598 supported. Note that, similarly to 3.0.x, for by-code lookups only the
2599 last option definition is used.

PS
2601- Fixed a bug where a time difference of greater than 60 seconds between a

b8d45c67
DH
2608- Secondary servers in a failover pair will now perform ddns removals if
2609 they had performed ddns updates on a lease that is expiring, or was
2610 released through the primary. As part of the same fix, stale binding scopes
2611 will now be removed if a change in identity of a lease's active client is
2612 detected, rather than simply if a lease is noticed to have expired (which it
2613 may have expired without a failover server noticing in some situations).
2614
583c1c16
DH
2615- A patch supplied by David Cantrell at RedHat was applied that detects
2616 invalid calling parameters given to the ns_name_ntop() function.
2617 Specifically, it detects if the caller passed a pointer and size pair
2618 that causes the pointer to integer-wrap past zero.
2619
e4e3a2ab
DH
2620! Fixed a fenceposting bug when a client had two host records configured,
2621 one using 'uid' and the other using 'hardware ethernet'. CVE-2009-1892
95f5d38c 2622

2624 the existence of the linked signal handler before calling it.
2625
2267da84
DH
2626- Both host and subnet6 configuration groups are now included whether a
2627 fixed-address6 (DHCPv6) is in use or not. Host scoped configuration takes
2628 precedence. This fixes two bugs, one where host scoped configuration
2629 would not be included from a non-fixed-address6 host record, and the equal
2630 and opposite bug where subnet6 scoped configuration would not be used when
571c38b0 2631 over-riding values were not present in a matching fixed-address6 host
2267da84
DH
2632 configuration.

2634- ./configure now checks to ensure the intX_t and u_intX_t types are defined,
2635 correcting a compilation failure when using Sun's compiler.
2636
0493fdca
SR
2637- Modified the handling of a connection to avoid releasing the omapi io
2638 object for the connection while it is still in use. One symptom from
2639 this error was a segfault when a failover secondary attempted to connect
2640 to the failover primary if their clocks were not synchronized.
2641
95bba8b6
SR
2642- Clean up to allow compilation with gcc 2.95.4 on FreeBSD. Remove an
2643 extra semi-colon from common/dns.c and moved setting a variable to NULL
2644 in server/dhcpv6.c to allow the compiler to decide that the variable
9a111ee8 2645 was always properly set.

2664 and not by failover binding updates (taking on the peer's CLTT).

2674 in future releases.

2682- DDNS removal routines were updated so that the DHCID is not removed until
2683 the client has been deprived of all A and AAAA records (not only the last
2684 one of either of those). This resolves a bug where dual stack clients
2685 would not be able to regain their names after either expiration event.

7d6180be
DH
2751- A bug in subnet6 parsing where options contained in subnet6 clauses would
2752 not be applied to clients addressed within that network was repaired.
2753
2754- When configuring a "subnet {}" or "subnet6 {}" without an explicit
2755 shared-network enclosing it, the DHCP software would synthesize a
2756 shared-network to contain the subnet. However, all configuration
2757 parameters within the subnet more intuitively belong "to any client
2758 on that interface", or rather the synthesized shared-network. So,
2759 when a shared-network is synthesized, it is used to contain the
2760 configuration present inside the subnet {} clause. This means that
2761 the configuration will be valid for all clients on that network, not
2762 just those addressed out of the stated subnet. If you intended the
2763 opposite, the workaround is to explicitly configure an empty
2764 shared-network.
2765
2766- A bug was fixed where Information-Request processing was not sourcing
2767 configured option values.
2768
2769- A warning was added since the DHCPv6 processing software does not yet
2770 support class statements.

EH
2800- It's now possible to update the "ends" field of a lease with OMAPI.
2801 This is useful if you want not only to release a lease, but also make
2802 it available for reuse right away. Hat tip to Christof Chen.
2803
9a111ee8 2804- Fixed definition of the iaaddr hash functions to use the correct
1dcc3612
SK
2805 functions when referencing and dereferencing memory.
2806
aabfa4de
FD
2807- Some definitions not in phase with the IANA registry were updated.
2808
0674055a
FD
2809- Allocated interface IDs are better controlled ('u' bit set to zero,
2810 reserved IDs avoided).
2811
b51c785f
FD
2812- Unicast options are taken into account only for RENEWs.
2813
900405e9
FD
2814- NoAddrsAvail answers to SOLICITs are always ADVERTISEs even when a SOLICIT
2815 carries a rapid-commit option.
2816
96b620e5
FD
2817- Return in place of raise an impossible condition when one tries to release
2818 an empty active lease.
2819
be62cf06
FD
2820- Timer granularity is now 1/100s in the DHCPv6 client.
2821
01a54c17
EH
2822- The dhclient-script was updated to create a host route for the default
2823 gateway if the supplied subnet mask for an IPv4 address was a /32. This
2824 allows the client to work in 'captive' network environments, where the
2825 operator does not want clients to crosstalk directly.
2826
adb95d23 2827- MINUS tokens should be parsable again.
01a54c17
EH
2828
2829- Multiple (up to "delayed-ack x;" maximum) DHCPv4 packets are now queued and
2830 released in bursts after single fsync() events when the upper limit is
2831 reached or if the receiving sockets go dry. The practical upshot is
2832 that fsync-coupled server performance is now multiplicitively increased.
2833 The default delayed ack limit is 28. Thanks entirely to a patch from
2834 Christof Chen.
2835
2836 Changes since 4.0.0 (bug fixes)
2837
2838- DHCP now builds on AIX.
2839
2840- Exit with warning when DHCPv6-specific statements are used in the
2841 config file but -6 is not specified.
2842
2843- Fixed "--version" flag in dhcrelay
2844
2845- The 'min-secs' configuration parameter's log message has been updated to
2846 be more helpful.
2847
2848- The warning logged when an address range doesn't fit in the subnets
2849 they were declared has been updated to be more helpful and identify the
2850 typo in configuration that created the spanning addresses.
2851
2852- A bug in failover pool rebalancing that caused POOLREQ message ping-pongs
2853 was repaired.
2854
2855- A flaw in failover pool rebalancing that could cause POOLREQ messages to
2856 be sent outside of the min-balance/max-balance scheduled intervals has
2857 been repaired.
2858
2859- A cosmetic bug during potential-conflict recovery that caused the peer's
2860 'conflict-done' state message to be logged as 'unknown-state' has been
2861 repaired. It is now logged correctly.
2862
49f61135
DH
2863- A bug was fixed where the 'giaddr' may be used to find the client's subnet
2864 rather than its own 'ciaddr'.
2865
41d4652f
DH
2866- A log message was introduced to clarify the situation where a failover
2867 'address' parameter (the server's local address) did not resolve to an
2868 IPv4 address.
2869
2c9bf1f4
DH
2870- The minimum site code value was set to 224 in 3.1.0 to track RFC3942. This
2871 broke a lot of legacy site local configurations. The new code in place will
2872 track site local space minimum option codes and logs a warning to encourage
2873 updates and exploration of site local code migration problems. Option
2874 codes less than 128 in site local spaces remain inaccessible.
2875
2876- A possible relay agent option bug was repaired where random server
2877 initialization state may have been used to signal the relay agent
2878 information options sub-option code for the 'END' of the option space.
2879
cff9b78f
SK
2880- Fixes to allow code to compile and run on Solaris 9.
2881
c4d29896
SK
2882- Fixes to allow code to compile on Mac OS X Leopard (10.5).
2883
57fcb8d9
SK
2884- When server is configured with options that it overrides, a warning is
2885 issued when the configuration file is read, rather than at the time the
2886 option is overridden. This was important, because the warning was given
9a111ee8 2887 every time the option was overridden, which could create a lot of
57fcb8d9
SK
2888 unnecessary logging.
2889
219a65eb
DH
2890- Fixed a compilation problems on platforms that define a value for FDDI,
2891 which conflicts with a dhcp configuration syntax token by the same name.
2892
ffdf3c8c
DH
2893- When a failover server suspects it has encountered a peer running a
2894 version 3.0.x failover server, a warning that the failover wire protocol
2895 is incompatible is printed.
2896
2897- The failover server no longer issues a floating point error if it encounters
2898 a previously undefined option code.
2899
00a002fc
MA
2900- Fix startup error messages to report a missing "subnet6 declaration", rather
2901 than a missing "subnet declaration", when running as a DHCPv6 server.
2902
9a111ee8 2903- DHCPv6 client timestamp in DUID was based on the year 1970 rather
7e9f7a1b
FD
2904 than the year 2000.
2905
e2cfde76
FD
2906- Warn when attempting to use a hardware parameter in DHCPv6.
2907
cabdb9b1
FD
2908- DHCPv6 released resources are now marked as released by the client.
2909
5d89d60f

2910- 'Soft' bindings have no more side-effects.
2911
61d75ea2
DH
2912 Changes since 4.0.0b3
2913
2914- The reverse dns name for PTR updates on IPv6 addresses has been fixed to
2915 use ip6.arpa. rather than default to in-addr.arpa and require user
2916 configuration.
76db44f9 2917
e32529a5
EH
2918- dhc6_lease_destroy() and dhc6_ia_destroy() now set lease and IA pointers
2919 to NULL after freeing, to prevent subsequent accesses to freed memory.
2920
9a111ee8 2921- The DHCPv6 server would not send the preference option unless the
76db44f9
SK
2922 client requested it, via the ORO. This has been fixed, so the DHCPv6
2923 server will always send the preference value if it is configured.
e4a6be15 2924
9a111ee8
TM
2925- When addresses were passed as hints to the server in an IA, they were
2926 incorrectly handled, sometimes being treated as an error. Now the
6f76de58
SK
2927 server will treat these as hints and ignore them if it cannot supply
2928 a requested address.
2929
703873ab
DH
2930- If the client had multiple addresses, and one expired (was not renewed
2931 by the server), the client would continue to attempt to renew the same
2932 old address over and over. Now, the client will omit any expired
2933 addresses from future Confirm, Renew, or Rebind messages.
2934
2935- dhclient -6 will now select renew/rebind timers based upon the longest
2936 address expiration time rather than the shortest expiration time, in
2937 order to avoid cascading renewals in the event a server elects not to
2938 extend one of multiple IAADDR leases.
2939
b024480e
DH
2940- The server now limits clients that request multiple addresses to one
2941 address per IA by default, which can be adjusted through the
2942 "limit-addrs-per-ia" configuration option.
2943
c0216cb7
DH
2944- The DHCPv6 client now issues fresh transaction IDs on Renew and Rebind
2945 message exchanges, rather than using the most recent ID.
2946
1ac57173
FD
2947- The DHCPv6 server now replies to Information-Request messages.
2948
83835822
DH
2949- A bug was fixed in the dhclient-script for BSDs to correctly carry error
2950 codes through some conditions.
2951
c54db708
FD
2952- The parsing of some options in the dhclient lease file, in particular
2953 the success DHCPv6 status-code, was fixed.
2954
e5d83524
DH
2955- A bug was fixed that caused the DHCPv6 ORO option to be corrupted with
2956 seemingly random values.
2957
821f2dda
DH
2958- A reference overleak in DHCPv6 shared network processing was repaired.
2959
f8b3c6f4
DH
2960- ./configure now autodetects local database locations rather than trying
2961 to put dhcpd.leases and dhclient.leases in /usr/local/var/db, which no
2962 one ever has.
2963
9a111ee8
TM
2964- Regression fix for bug where server advertised a IPv6 address in
2965 response to a SOLICIT but would not return the address in response
b9137d42
SK
2966 to a REQUEST.
2967
9f1d5a2f
DH
2968- A bug was fixed where the DHCPv6 server puts the NoAddrsAvail status
2969 code in the IA_NA was fixed. The status code now appears in the root
2970 level.
2971
e4a6be15
DH
2972 Changes since 4.0.0b2
2973
65cf86d7
EH
2974- Clarified error message when lease limit exceeded
2975
b1d3778c
DH
2976- Relative time may now be used as a qualifier for 'allow' and 'deny' access
2977 control lists. These directives may be used to assist in re-addressing
2978 address pools without having to constantly reconfigure the server. Please
2979 see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more information on allow/deny 'after time' syntax.
2980 Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen.
2981
bead14ea
DH
2982- The server will now include multiple IA_NA's and multiple IAADDRs within
2983 them, if advertised by the client. It still only seeks to allocate one
2984 new address.
2985
f765ec36
SK
2986 Changes since 4.0.0b1
2987
75135a3f 2988- Use different paths for PID and lease files when running in DHCPv4
adb95d23 2989 or DHCPv6 mode, so that servers for both protocols can be run
75135a3f
EH
2990 simultaneously on a single interface.
2991
5c2d55c7
EH
2992- Fixed a buffer overflow error which could have allowed a denial
2993 of service under unusual server configurations
2994
2995- Eliminated a spurious error message from the client
2996
9a111ee8 2997- A number of bugs with the internal handling of lease state on the
f765ec36 2998 server have been fixed. Some of these could cause server crashes.
fa9b593d 2999
edb1283e
DH
3000- The peer_wants_leases() changes pulled up from 3.1.0 were corrected,
3001 'never used' leases will no longer consistently shift between servers
3002 on every pool rebalance run.
3003
c71c6399
DH
3004- sendmsg()/recvmsg() control buffers are now declared in such a way to
3005 ensure they are correctly aligned on all (esp. 64-bit) architectures.
3006
5279b8f3
DH
3007- The client leasing subsystem was streamlined and corrected to account
3008 more closely for changes in client link attachment selection.
3009
ab3a540f 3010 Changes since 4.0.0a3
763cba6b 3011
9a111ee8 3012- The DHCP server no longer requires a "ddns-update-style" statement,
884a458f
SK
3013 and now defaults to "none", which means DNS updates are disabled.
3014
fa9b593d
DH
3015- Log messages when failover peer names mismatch have been improved to
3016 point out the problem.
3017
9a111ee8 3018- Bug where server advertised a IPv6 address in response to a SOLICIT
1b5053b5
SK
3019 but would not return the address in response to a REQUEST. Thanks to
3020 Dennis Kou for finding the bug.
3021
c886c298
SK
3022- Fixed an error causing the server to lock up on lease expiration,
3023 reported independently by Jothilingam Vasu and Dennis Kou.
3024
eaf7eb17
DH
3025- Fixed a ./configure bug where compile tests were failing due to
3026 "-Werror" (unused variable) rather than the actual test failure. Lead
3027 to inconsistent and unworkable auto-configurations.
3028
109e00db
DH
3029- Compilation with DLPI and -Werror has been repaired.

9a111ee8 3031- Error in decoding IA_NA option if multiple interfaces are present
3ad9d48f
SK
3032 fixed by Marcus Goller.

8eab95f2
DH
3034- DHCPv6 server Confirm message processing has been enhanced - it no
3035 longer replies only to clients with host {} records, it now replies
3036 as directed in RFC3315 section 18.2.2 - that is, to all clients
3037 regardless of the existence of bindings.
3038
07b9a351
DH
3039- A core dump during expired lease cleanup has been repaired.
3040
7285af30
DH
3041- DDNS updates state information are now stored in 'binding scopes' that
3042 follow the leases through their lifecycles. This enables DDNS teardowns
3043 on leases that are assigned and expired inbetween a server restart (the
3044 state is recovered from dhcpd.leases). Arbitrary user-specified binding
3045 scopes ('set var = "value";') are not yet supported.
3046

3065- An internal database inconsistency bug was repaired where the server
3066 would segfault if a client attempted to renew a lease that had been
3067 loaded from persistent storage.
3068
45d545f0 3069- 'request' and 'also request' syntaxes have been added to accommodate
0c20eab3
DH
3070 the DHCPv6 client configuration. 'send dhcp6.oro' is no longer
3071 necessary.
3072
9a111ee8
TM
3073- Bug fixed where configuration file parsing did not work with
3074 zero-length options; this made it impossible to set the
f800f4f6
SK
3075 rapid-commit option.

3134
3135- Include the more standard sys/uio.h rather than rely upon other
f66f02cc
DH
3136 header files to include it (fixes a BSD 4.2 compile failure).
3137
3138- Duplicate dhclient-script updates for DHCPv6 to all provided scripts.
a512d11b 3139
4ba58919
DH
3140- DHCPv4 I/O methods that failed to sense hardware address were corrected.
3141
3142- DHCPv4 is now the default (as documented) rather than DHCPv6. The default
3143 was set to DHCPv6 to facilitate ease early development, and forgotten.
3144
3145- Corrected a segmentation violation in DHCPv4 socket processing.
3146
8ea19a71 3147- dhclient will now fork() into the background once it binds to an
45d545f0 3148 IPv6 address, or immediately if the -n flag is supplied.
8ea19a71

98bd7ca0
DH
3159 Changes since 3.1.0 (NEW FEATURES)
3160
3161- DHCPv6 Client and Server protocol support. Use '-6' to run the daemons
3162 as v6-only. Use '-4' to run the daemons as v4-only (default. There is
3163 no support currently for both.
3164
3165- Server support for multiple IA_NA options, containing at most one
3166 IAADDR option.
3167
3168- Client support for one IA_NA option, containing any number of IAADDR
3169 options.
3170
3171- Server support for the DHCPv6 Information-request message.
3172
3173- Inappropriate unicast DHCPv6 messages sent to the server are now
3174 discarded, and this has rearchitected the IO system slightly.
3175
3176- The DHCPv6 server DUID defaults to type 1, is persistently stored in
3177 the leases database, and can be over-ridden (either completely, or by
3178 specifying type 1 or type 2).
3179
3180- The server only uses Rapid-Commit if it has been configured with the
3181 Rapid-Commit option and the client requests it.
3182
3183- DDNS support. We now update AAAA records in the same place we would
3184 update A records, if we have an IPv6 address. We also generate IP6.ARPA
3185 style names for PTR records if we're dealing with an IPv6 address. Both
3186 A and AAAA updates are done using the same 'fqdn.' virtual option space
3187 (although the DHCPv4 FQDN and DHCPv6 FQDN options are formatted
3188 differently, they both use the same code here).
3189
3190- The Linux dhclient-script attempts to set and remove assigned addresses,
3191 and to configure /etc/resolv.conf from nameserver and domain name
3192 configurations. It can be extended to configure other parameters.
3193
3194- Initial DHCPv6 lease support.
3195
3196- The IO system now tracks all local IP addresses, so that the DHCP
3197 applications (particularly the dhcrelay) can discern between what frames
3198 were transmitted to it, and what frames are being carried through it which
3199 it should not intercept.
3200

DH
3201 Changes since 3.1.0 (Maintenance)
3202
3203- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for virgin leases always
3204 mapped to the primary. Virgin leases now have an interleaved preference
3205 between primary and secondary.
3206
3207- A bug was repaired where MAC Address Affinity for clients with no client
3208 identifier was sometimes mishashed to the peer. Load balancing during
3209 runtime and pool rebalancing were opposing.
3210
aa3e348e
DH
3211- An assertion in lease counting relating to reserved leases was repaired.
3212
e9c59645
DH
3213- The subnet-mask option inclusion now conforms with RFC2132 section 3.3;
3214 it will only appear prior to the routers option if it is present on the
3215 Parameter-Request-List. The subnet-mask option will also only be
3216 included by default (if it is not on the PRL) in response to DISCOVER
3217 or REQUEST messages.
3218
3219- The FQDN option is only supplied if the client supplied an FQDN option or
3220 if the FQDN option was explicitly requested on the PRL.

DH
3224 Changes since 3.1.0rc1
3225
adb95d23 3226- The parse warning that 'deny dynamic bootp;' must be configured for
b9d0cc05
DH
3227 failover protected subnets was removed.
3228

DH
3229 Changes since 3.1.0b2
3230
3231- Failover rebalance events no longer play ping pong with round errors
3232 (moving leases between free and back to backup where there are an
3233 odd number of leases).
3234
3235- The 'pool' log line has been split into two messages, one before the
3236 rebalance run, and one after.
3237
3238- Any queued BNDACKs are transmitted before transmitting new BNDUPDs.
3239 This enforces the correct sequence of events for the remote server
3240 processing these messages.

fe5b0fdd 3242 Changes since 3.1.0b1
27837f95 3243
74dc3e0b
EH
3244- Fixed a bug that caused OMAPI clients to freeze when opening lease
3245 objects.
3246
1ba87b37
EH
3247- A new server config option "fqdn-reply" specifies whether the server
3248 should send out option 81 (FQDN). Defaults to "on". If set to "off",
3249 the FQDN option is not sent, even if the client requested it. This is
3250 needed because some clients misbehave otherwise. Thanks to Christof Chen
3251 at Allianz.
3252
a58da042
EH
3253- Allow trace output files (-tf option) to be overwritten, rather than
3254 crashing dhcpd if the file already exists
3255
61252edf
EH
3256- A bug was fixed that caused dhcpd to segfault if a pool was declared
3257 outside the scope of a subnet in dhcpd.conf.
3258
27837f95
DH
3259- Some uninitialized values were repaired in dhcpleasequery.c that
3260 caused the server to abort.
3261
4d2eaafb
DH
3262- A new server config option, 'do-reverse-updates', has been added
3263 which causes the server to abstain from performing updates on PTR
3264 records. Thanks to a patch from Christof Chen at Allianz.
3265
06211b40
DH
3266- A bug was repaired in subencapsulation support, where spaces separated
3267 by empty spaces would not get included.
3268
d6614ea2
DH
3269- A bug in dhclient was repaired which caused it to send parameter request
3270 lists of 55 bytes in length no matter how long the declared PRL was.
3271
132d38f2
DH
3272- 'dhcp.c(3953): non-null pointer' has been repaired. This fixes a flaw
3273 wherein the DHCPv4 server may ignore a configured server-identifier.
3274
fc3b9c90
DH
3275- A flaw in failover startup sequences was repaired that sometimes left
3276 the primary DHCP server's pool rebalance schedules unscheduled.
3277
c9feb859
DH
3278- Corrected a flaw that broke encapsulated spaces included due to presence
3279 on the parameter request list.

DH
3285 Changes since 3.1.0a2

3288 fatal internal error, "Unable to find server option 49".
3289
85edef5c
DH
3290- A bug was fixed in dhclient rendering the textual output form of the
3291 domain-search option syntax.

bdddcb7d
DH
3293 Changes since 3.1.0a1
3294
3295- A bug in the FQDN universe that added FQDN codes to the NWIP universe's
3296 hash table was repaired.
3297
616d67cb
DH
3298- The servers now try harder to transmit pending binding updates when
3299 entering normal state.
3300
3301- UPDREQ/UPDREQALL handling was optimized - it no longer dequeues and
3302 requeues all pending updates. This should reduce the number of spurious
66c8f734
DH
3303 'xid mismatch' log messages.
3304
3305- An option definition referencing leak was fixed, which resulted in early
3306 termination of dhclient upon the renewal event.
616d67cb 3307
6708d944
DH
3308- Some default hash table sizes were tweaked, some upwards, some downwards.
3309 3.1.0a1's tables resulted in a reduction in default server memory use.
3310 The new selected values provide more of a zero sum (increasing the size
3311 of tables likely to be populated, decreasing the size of tables unlikely).
3312
45d545f0 3313- Lease structures appear in three separate hashes: by IP address, by UID,
6708d944
DH
3314 and by hardware address. One type of table was used for all three, and
3315 improvements to IP address hashing were applied to all three (so UID and
3316 hardware addresses were treated like 4-byte integers). There are now two
3317 types of tables, and the uid/hw hashes use functions more appropriate
3318 to their needs.
3319
3320- The max-lease-misbalance percentage no longer causes scheduled rebalance
3321 runs to be skipped: it still governs the schedule, but every scheduled
3322 run will attempt balance.
3323
a7ee93fe
DH
3324- A segfault bug in recursive encapsulation support has been corrected.
3325
98311e4b
DH
3326 Changes since 3.0 (New Features)
3327
3328- A workaround for certain STSN servers that send a mangled domain-name
3329 option was introduced for dhclient. The client will now accept corrupted
3330 server responses, if they contain a valid DHCP_MESSAGE_TYPE (OFFER, ACK,
3331 or NAK). The server will continue to not accept corrupt client packets.
3332
98bd7ca0 3333- Support for 'reserved' (pseudo-static) and BOOTP leases via failover
a55ccdd0 3334 was introduced.
98311e4b
DH
3335
3336- Support for adding, removing, and managing class and subclass statements
3337 via OMAPI.
3338
a55ccdd0
DH
3339- The failover implementation was updated to comply with revision 12 of
3340 the protocol draft.
3341
98311e4b
DH
3342- 'make install' now creates the initial zero-length dhcpd.leases file if
3343 one does not already exist on the system.
3344
b43c87ad 3345- RFC3942 compliance, site-local option spaces start at 224 now, not 128.
b43c87ad 3346
0b17f049
DH
3347- The Load Balance Algorithm was misimplemented. The current implementation
3348 matches RFC 3074.
3349
2727c1cf
DH
3350- lcase() and ucase() configuration expressions have been added which adjust
3351 their arguments from upper to lower and lower to upper cases respectively.
2714a8ef 3352 Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
2727c1cf 3353
febbd402
DH
3354- The dhclient 'reject ...;' statement, which rejects leases given by named
3355 server-identifiers, now permits address ranges to be specified in CIDR
7d7073e7 3356 notation. Thanks to a patch from David Boyce.
febbd402 3357
ee912528
DH
3358- The subnet-mask option is now supplied by default, but at lowest
3359 priority. This helps a small minority of clients that provide parameter
3360 request lists, but do not list the subnet-mask option because they were
3361 designed to interoperate with a server that behaves in this manner.
3362
3363- The FQDN option is similarly supplied even if it does not appear on the
3364 parameter request list, but not to the exclusion of options that do
3365 appear at the parameter request list. Up until now it had ultimate
3366 priority over the client's parameter request list.
3367
f7fdb216 3368- Varying option space code and length bit widths (8/16/32) are now
51202707 3369 supported. This is a milestone in achieving RFC 3925 "VIVSO" and
f7fdb216
DH
3370 DHCPv6 support.
3371
5e864416
DH
3372- A new common (server or client) option, 'db-time-format local;', has
3373 been added which prints the local time in /var/db/dhcpd.leases rather
3374 than UTC. Thanks to a patch from Ken Lalonde.
3375
b500bd4c
DH
3376- Some patches to improve DHCP Server startup speed from Andrew Matheson
3377 have been incorporated.
3378
2426234f
DH
3379- Failover pairs now implement 'MAC Affinity' on leases moving from the
3380 active to free states. Leases that belonged to the failover secondary
3381 are moved to BACKUP state rather than FREE upon exiting EXPIRED state.
3382 If lease rebalancing must move leases, it tries first to move leases
3383 that belong to the peer in need.
3384
3385- The server no longer sends POOLREQ messages unless the pool is severely
3386 misbalanced in the peer's favor (see 'man dhcpd.conf' for more details).
3387
3388- Pool rebalance events no longer happen upon successfully allocating a
3389 lease. Instead, they happen on a schedule. See 'man dhcpd.conf' for the
3390 min-balance and max-balance statements for more information.
3391
334bf491
DH
3392- The DHCP Relay Agent Information Option / Link Selection Sub-Option
3393 is now supported. (See RFC3527 for details).
3394
3004bebf
DH
3395- A new DDNS related server option, update-conflict-detection, has been
3396 added. If this option is enabled, dhcpd will perform normal DHCID
3397 conflict resolution (the default). If this option is disabled, it will
3398 instead trust the assigned name implicitly (removing any other bindings
3399 on that name). This option has not been made available in dhclient.
3400
567e8561
DH
3401- In those cases where the DHCP software manufactures an IP header (to
3402 transmit via bpf, lpf, etc), the IP TTL the software selects has been
3403 increased from 16 to 128. This is intended to match Microsoft Windows
3404 DHCP Client behaviour, to increase compatibility.
3405
a396d25f
DH
3406- 'ignore client-updates;' now has behaviour that is different from
3407 'deny client-updates;'. The client's request is not truly ignored,
3408 rather it is encouraged. Should this value be configured, the server
3409 updates DNS as though client-updates were set to 'deny'. That is, it
3410 enters into DNS whatever it is configured to do already, provided it is
3411 configured to. Then it sends a response to the client that lets the
3412 client believe it is performing client updates (which it will), probably
3413 for a different name. In essence, this lets the client do as it will,
3414 ignoring this aspect of their request.
3415
dba5803b
DH
3416- Support for compressed 'domain name list' style DHCP option contents, and
3417 in particular the domain search option (#119) was added.
3418
41e45067 3419- The DHCP LEASEQUERY protocol as defined in RFC4388 is now implemented.
6d103865
SK
3420 LEASEQUERY lets you query the DHCP server for information about a lease,
3421 using either an IP address, MAC address, or client identifier. Thanks
3422 to a patch from Justin Haddad.
3423
41e45067
DH
3424- DHCPD is now RFC2131 section 4.1 compliant (broadcast to all-ones ip and
3425 ethernet mac address) on the SCO platform specifically without any strange
3426 ifconfig hacks. Many thanks go to the Kroger Co. for donating the
3427 hardware and funding the development.
6d103865 3428
b543fea9
DH
3429- A new common configuration executable statement, execute(), has been
3430 added. This permits dhcpd or dhclient to execute a named external
3431 program with command line arguments specified from other configuration
3432 language. Thanks to a patch written by Mattias Ronnblom, gotten to us
3433 via Robin Breathe.
3434
b22de500
DH
3435- A new dhcp server option 'adaptive-lease-time-threshold' has been added
3436 which causes the server to substantially reduce lease-times if there are
3437 few (configured percentage) remaining leases. Thanks to a patch submitted
3438 from Christof Chen.
3439
96bbe8c5
SK
3440- Encapsulated option spaces within encapsulated option spaces is now
3441 formally supported.
3442
b8221d95
DH
3443 Changes since 3.0.6rc1
3444
3445- supersede_lease() now requeues leases in their respective hardware
3446 address hash bucket. This mirrors client identifier behaviour.
3447
c1e6c832
DH
3448 Changes since 3.0.5
3449
f546c28b
DH
3450- Assorted fixes for broken network devices: Packet length is now
3451 determined from the IP header length field to finally calculate the
3452 UDP payload length, because some NIC drivers return more data than
5a22eb63 3453 they actually received.
f546c28b
DH
3454
3455- UDP packets are now stored in aligned data structures.
3456
c1e6c832
DH
3457- A logic error in omapi interface code was repaired that might result in
3458 incorrectly indicating 'up' state when any flags were set, rather than
23e10d37
DH
3459 specifically the INTERFACE_REQUESTED flag. Thanks to a patch from
3460 Jochen Voss which got to us via Andrew Pollock at Debian.
c1e6c832 3461
75ab3070
DH
3462- A reference leak on binding scopes set by ddns updates was repaired.
3463
d69fb6a8 3464- A memory leak in the minires_nsendsigned() function call was repaired.
23e10d37 3465 Effectively, this leaked ~176 bytes per DDNS update.
d69fb6a8 3466
02428754
DH
3467- In the case where an "L2" DHCP Relay Agent (one that does not set giaddr)
3468 was directly attached to the same broadcast domain as the DHCP server,
3469 the RFC3046 relay agent information option was not being returned to the
3470 relay in the server's replies. This was fixed; the dhcp server no longer
3471 requires the giaddr to reply with relay agent information. Note that
3472 this also improves compatibility with L2 devices that "intercept" DHCP
3473 packets and expect relay agent information even in unicast (renewal)
23e10d37
DH
3474 replies. Thanks to a patch from Pekka Silvonen.
3475
3476- A bug was fixed where the BOOTP header 'sname' field had a value, the
3477 copy written to persistent storage was actually the contents of the
3478 'file' field.
02428754 3479
ecde99a3
DH
3480- A bug was fixed where the nwip virtual option space was referencing
3481 the fqdn option's virtual option space's option cache.
3482
67674ffb
DH
3483- Timestamp parsing errors that indicated missing "minutes" fields rather
3484 than the actually missing "seconds" fields have been repaired thanks to
3485 a patch from Kevin Steves.
3486
830ebc4c
DH
3487- A grammar error in the dhclient.8 manpage was repaired thanks to a patch
3488 from Chris Wagner.
3489
c759db75
DH
3490- Several spelling typos were repaired, and some cross-references to other
3491 relevant documents were included in the manpages, thanks to a patch
3492 by Andrew Pollock which got to us via Tomas Pospisek.
3493
9aa3f3a5
DH
3494- Some bugs were fixed in the 'emergency relay agent options hologram'
3495 which is used to retain relay agent option contents from when the
3496 client was in INIT or REBIND states. This should solve problems where
3497 relay agent options were not echoed from the server, even when giaddr
3498 was set.
3499
3d0c598a
DH
3500- dhclient now closes its descriptor to dhclient.leases prior to executing
3501 dhclient-script. Thanks to a patch from Tomas Pospisek.
3502
d5b6835f
DH
3503- The server's "by client-id" and "by hardware address" hash table lists
3504 are now sorted according to the preference to re-allocate that lease to
3505 returning clients. This should eliminate pool starvation problems
3506 arising when "INIT" clients were given new leases rather than presently
3507 active ones.
3508
02428754 3509 Changes since 3.0.5rc1
0a73b7b6 3510
901306d5 3511- A bug was repaired in fixes to the dhclient, which sought to run the
0a73b7b6
SK
3512 dhclient-script with the 'EXPIRE' state should it receive a NAK in
3513 response to a REQUEST. The client now iterates the PREINIT state
3514 after the EXPIRE state, so that interfaces that might be configured
3515 'down' can be brought back 'up' and initialized.
3516
87a08ccc
DH
3517- DHCPINFORM handling for clients that properly set ciaddr and come to the
3518 server via a relay aget has been repaired.
3519
6da113fb
DH
3520 Changes since 3.0.4
3521
3522- A warning that host statements declared within subnet or shared-network
3523 scopes are actually global has been added.
3524
3525- The default minimum lease time (if min-lease-time was not specified)
3526 was raised from 0 to 300. 0 is not thought to be sensible, and is
3527 known to be damaging.
3528
3529- Added additional fatal error sanity checks surrounding lease binding
3530 state count calculations (free/active counts used for failover pool
3531 balancing).
3532
dcc557db
DH
3533- Some time value size fixes in 3.0.4 brought on from FreeBSD /usr/ports were
3534 misapplied to server values rather than client values. The server no longer
3535 advertises 8-byte lease-time options when on 64-bit platforms.
3536
1b2ab55f
DH
3537- A bug where leases not in ACTIVE state would get billed to billed classes
3538 (classes with lease limitations) was fixed. Non-active leases OFFERed
3539 to clients are no longer billed (but billing is checked before offering).
3540
e48891e8
DH
3541- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated in regard to the ddns-domainname
3542 configuration option - the default configuration and results should be
3543 more clear now.
3544
6cbc6629
DH
3545- If the dhclient were to receive a DHCPNAK while it was in the RENEW
3546 state (and consequently, had an active, 'bound' address and related
3547 configuration options), it would fail to 'tear down' this information
3548 before proceeding into INIT state. dhclient now iterates the dhclient-
3549 script with the 'EXPIRE' action to cause these teardowns prior to entering
1d3bfb17 3550 INIT state. Thanks to a patch from Chris Zimmerman.
6cbc6629 3551
c5fec5fa
DH
3552- The omapi.1 manpage had some formatting errors repaired thanks to a patch
3553 from Yoshihiko Sarumaru.
3554
33e1cb2b
DH
3555- A few lines of code that were failover-specific were moved within
3556 #if defined() clauses so that compilation without failover could be
3557 made possible.
3558
2bddf829
DH
3559- The log message emitted when the 'leased-address' value was not available
3560 in dhcpd.conf "executable statements" has been updated to be more helpful.
3561 Manpage information for this value has also been updated.
3562
87578987
DH
3563- Abandoned or dissociated (err condition) leases now remove any related
3564 dynamic dns bindings. Thanks to a patch from Patrick Schoo.
3565
e77c575f
DH
3566- Attempting to write a new lease file to replace a corrupt (due to
3567 encountering non-retryable errors during writing) lease file should
3568 no longer result in an infinite recursion.
3569
2178df03
DH
3570- Host declaration hardware addresses and client identifiers may only be
3571 configured once. dhcpd will now fail to load config files that specify
3572 multiple identifiers (previous versions would silently over-ride the
3573 value with the later configured value).
3574
d5341d9b
SK
3575- Several option codes that have been allocated since our last release
3576 have been named and documented.
3577
3578- Option names of the form "unknown-123" have been removed from the in-
3579 memory hash tables. In order to support options of these names that
3580 may appear in dhclient.leases or similar in previous versions, the
3581 parser will now find the new option code definition, or mock up a
3582 generic option code definition. This should result in a smooth
3583 transition from one name to the other, as the new name is used to
3584 write new output.
3585
6da113fb
DH
3586 Changes since 3.0.4rc1
3587
3588- The dhcp-options.5 manpage was updated to correct indentation errors
3589 thanks to a patch from Jean Delvare.
3590
3591 Changes since 3.0.4b3
3592
3593- Some manual pages were clarified pursuant to discussion on the dhcp-server
3594 mailing list.
3595
88cd8aca
DH
3596 Changes since 3.0.4b2
3597
45d545f0 3598- Null-termination sensing for certain clients that unfortunately require
88cd8aca
DH
3599 it in DHCPINFORM processing was repaired.
3600
3601- The host-name option and a few others were moved from "X" format to "t"
3602 format to be compatible with new NULL handling functions.
3603
3604- DHCPINFORM processing is a little more careful about return addressing
3605 its responses, or if responding via a relay. The INFORM related
3606 messages also log the 'effective client ip address' rather than the
3607 client's supplied ciaddr (since some clients produce null ciaddrs).
3608
3609- The server was inappropriately sending leases to the RESET state in the
3610 event that multiple active leases were found to match a singly-identified
3611 client. This was changed to RELEASED (by accepting a different, ACTIVE
3612 binding, the client is implicitly releasing its lease). This repairs a
3613 bug wherein secondary servers in failover pairs detecting this condition
3614 move leases to RESET, and primaries refuse to accept that state
3615 transition (properly).
3616
3617- The memset-after-dmalloc() changes made in 3.0.4b1 have been backed out.
3618
3619 Changes since 3.0.4b1
3620
3621- Command line parsing in omshell was repaired - it no longer closes
3622 STDIN after reading one line.
3623
3624- The resolver library no longer closes the /etc/resolv.conf file
3625 descriptor it opened twice.
3626
3627- Changes to trailing NULL removal in 't' option-atoms has been rethought,
3628 it now includes 'd' (domain name) types, and tries hard not to rewind an
3629 option beyond the start of the text field it is un-terminating.
3630
3631 Changes since 3.0.3
3632
3633- A DDNS update handling function was misusing the DNS error codes, rather
3634 than the internal generic result enumeration. The result is a confusing
3635 syslog line, logging the wrong condition.
3636
3637- The DHCP Server was not checking pool balance in the case where it brought
3638 a non-ACTIVE lease out of storage for a client that was returning to use
3639 a lease it once had long ago, and had since expired.
3640
3641- Failover peers no longer bother to look for free leases to allocate when
3642 they already found the client's ACTIVE lease. DISCOVERs are load balanced
98bd7ca0 3643 whether freely-allocated or not, unless the server doubts the peer has
88cd8aca
DH
3644 leases to allocate.
3645
3646- Fixed a bug in dhcrelay agent addition code that suppressed trailing
45d545f0 3647 PAD options - it was suppressing only one trailing PAD option, rather
88cd8aca
DH
3648 than the entire block of them.
3649

DH
3650! Fixed some unlikely overlapping-region memcpy() bugs in dhcrelay agent
3651 option addition and stripping code. Added a few sanity checks. Although
3652 highly improbable, due to requiring the reception of a DHCP datagram well
3653 in excess of all known to be used physical MTU limitations, it is possible
3654 this may have been used in a stack overflow security vulnerability. Thanks
3655 to a patch from infamous42md.
3656
3657! Added some sanity checks to OMAPI connection/authentication code.
3658 Although highly improbable, due to having to deliver in excess of 2^32
3659 bytes of data via the OMAPI channel, not to mention requiring dhcpd to
3660 be able to malloc() a memory region 2^32 bytes in size, it was possible
3661 this might have resulted in a heap overflow security vulnerability.
3662 Thanks to a patch from infamous42md.
88cd8aca
DH
3663
3664- dmalloc() memset()'s the non-debug (data) portion of the allocated
3665 memory to zero. Code that memset()'s the result returned by dmalloc() to
3666 zero is redundant. These redundancies were removed.
3667
3668- Some type declaration corrections to u_int16_t were made in common/tr.c
4b97eaff 3669 (Token Ring support) thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
88cd8aca
DH
3670
3671- A failover bug that was allowing leases that EXPIRED or were RELEASED
3672 where tsfp and tstp are identical timestamps to languish in these
3673 transitional states has been repaired. As a side effect, lease
3674 databases should be kept more consistent overall, not just for these
3675 transitional states.
3676
3677- If the lease db is deleted out from under the daemon, and it moves to rewrite
3678 the db, it will go ahead with the operation and move the new db into place
3679 once it detects the old db does not exist.
3680
3681- dhclient now ignores IRDA, SIT, and IEEE1394 network interfaces, as it
3682 is either nonsensical or (in the case of IEEE1394) is not known to support
3683 these interfaces. Thanks to Marius Gedminas and Andrew Pollock of Debian.
3684
3685- Some previously undocumented reasons for dhclient-script invoking has
45d545f0 3686 been documented in the dhclient-script.8 manpage.
88cd8aca
DH
3687
3688- Failover potential expiry calculations (TSTP) have been corrected. Results
3689 should be substantially more consistent, and proper given the constraints.
3690
3691- Adjusted lease state validation checks in potential-conflict, to
3692 account for possible clock skew similarly to normal state, and several
3693 previously illegal transitions were made legal (ex: active->released).
3694
3695- An impossible sanity check was removed from omapi/buffer.c, thanks to a
3696 patch from 'infamous42md'.
3697
3698- An OMAPI host/network byte order problem in lease time values has been
3699 repaired.
3700
3701- Several minor bugs, largely relating to treating 8-byte time values as
3702 4-byte entities, have been repaired after careful review of the FreeBSD
3703 ports collection's patch set. Thanks to the nameless entities who have
3704 contributed to the FreeBSD ports.
3705
3706- When writing a trace file, the file is now created with permissions 0600,
3707 to help administrators avoid accidentally publicising sensitive config
3708 data.
3709
3710- The calculation of the maximum size of DHCP packets no longer includes
3711 Ethernet framing overhead. The result is that the 'Maximum Message
3712 Size' option advertised by clients, or the default value 576, is no
3713 longer reduced by 14 bytes, and instead directly reflects the IP level
3714 MTU (and the default, minimum allowed IP MTU of 576).
3715
3716- The special status of RELEASED/EXPIRED/RESET leases when a server
3717 is operating in partner-down was fixed. It no longer requires a
3718 lease be twice the MCLT beyond STOS to 'reallocate', and the expiry
3719 event to turn these into FREE leases without peer acknowledgement
3720 (after STOS+MCLT) has been repaired.
3721
3722- Compilation on older Solaris systems (lacking /usr/include/sys/int_types.h)
3723 has been repaired.
3724
3725- "append"ing a string onto the end of a "t" type option (such as the
3726 domain-name field) that had been improperly NULL-terminated by the
3727 DHCP server will no longer result in a truncated string containing
3728 only the option from the server, and not the expected appended value.
4b97eaff 3729 Thanks to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
88cd8aca
DH
3730
3731- File handlers on configuration state (config files and lease dbs) should
98bd7ca0 3732 be treated consistently, regardless of whether TRACING is defined or not.
88cd8aca 3733
45d545f0 3734- The Linux build environment has had some minor improvements - better
88cd8aca
DH
3735 sensing of 64-bit pointer sizes (only used for establishing an icmp_id),
3736 and corrections to #if operators regarding LINUX_MAJOR should it ever
3737 move to 3.[01].x.
3738
3739- The server now tries harder to survive the condition where it is unable
3740 to open a new lease file to rewrite the lease state database.
3741

3742 Changes since 3.0.3b3
3743
3744- dhclient.conf documentation for interface {} was updated to reflect recent
3745 discussion on the dhcp-hackers mailing list.
3746
3747- In response to reports that the software does not compile on GCC 4.0.0,
3748 -Werror was removed from Makefile.conf for all platforms that used it.
3749 We will address the true problem in a future release; this is a temporary
3750 workaround.
3751
3752 Changes since 3.0.3b2
3753
3754- An error in code changes introduced in 3.0.3b2 was corrected, which caused
3755 static BOOTP clients to receive random addresses.
3756
3757 Changes since 3.0.3b1
3758
3759- A bug was fixed in BOOTPREQUEST handling code wherein stale references to
3760 host records would be left behind on leases that were not allocated to the
3761 client currently booting (eg in the case where the host was denied booting).
3762
3763- The dhcpd.conf.5 manpage was updated to be more clear in regards to
3764 multiple host declarations (thanks to Vincent McIntyre). 'Interim' style
3765 dynamic updates were also retouched.
3766
98311e4b
DH
3767 Changes since 3.0.2
3768
3769- A bug was fixed where a server might load balance a DHCP REQUEST to its
45d545f0 3770 peer after already choosing not to load balance the preceding DISCOVER.
98311e4b
DH
3771 The peer cannot allocate the originating server's lease.
3772
3773- In the case where a secondary server lost its stable storage while the
3774 primary was still in communications-interrupted, and came back online,
3775 the lease databases would not be fully transferred to the secondary.
3776 This was due to the secondary errantly sending an extra UPDREQ message
3777 when the primary made its state transition to PARTNER-DOWN known.
3778
3779- The package will now compile cleanly in gcc 3.3 and 3.4. As a side effect,
3780 lease structures will be 9 bytes smaller on all platforms. Thanks to
4b97eaff 3781 Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3782
3783- Interface discovery code in DISCOVER_UNCONFIGURED mode is now
3784 properly restricted to only detecting broadcast interfaces. Thanks
4b97eaff 3785 to a patch from Jason Vas Dias at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3786
3787- decode_udp_ip_header was changed so that the IP address was copied out
3788 to a variable, rather than referenced by a pointer. This enforces 4-byte
3789 alignment of the 32-bit IP address value. Thanks to a patch from Dr.
3790 Peter Poeml.
3791
3792- An incorrect log message was corrected thanks to a patch from
3793 Dr. Peter Poeml.
3794
3795- A bug in DDNS was repaired, where if the server's first DDNS action was
3796 a DDNS removal rather than a DDNS update, the resolver library's
3797 retransmit timer and retry timer was set to the default, implying a
3798 15 second timeout interval. Which is a little excessive in a synchronous,
3799 single-threaded system. In all cases, ISC DHCP should now hold fast to
3800 a 1-second timeout, trying only once.
3801
3802- The siaddr field was being improperly set to the server-identifier when
3803 responding to DHCP messages. RFC2131 clarified the siaddr field as
3804 meaning the 'next server in the bootstrap process', eg a tftp server.
3805 The siaddr field is now left zeroed unless next-server is configured.
3806
3807- mockup_lease() could have returned in an error condition (or in the
3808 condition where no fixed-address was found matching the shared
3809 network) with stale references to a host record. This is probably not
3810 a memory leak since host records generally never die anyway.
3811
3812- A bug was repaired where failover servers would let stale client identifiers
3813 persist on leases that were reallocated to new clients not sending an id.
3814
3815- Binding scopes ("set var = value;") are now removed from leases allocated
3816 by failover peers if the lease had expired. This should help reduce the
3817 number of stale binding scopes on leases.
3818
3819- A small memory leak was closed involving client identifiers larger than
3820 7 bytes, and failover.
3821
3822- Configuring a subnet in dhcpd.conf with a subnet mask of 32 bits might
3823 cause an internal function to overflow heap. Thanks to Jason Vas Dias
4b97eaff 3824 at Red Hat.
98311e4b
DH
3825
3826- Some inconsistencies in treating numbers that the lexer parsed as 'NUMBER'
3827 or 'NUMBER_OR_NAME' was repaired. Hexadecimal parsing is affected, and
3828 should work better.
3829
3830- In several cases, parse warnings were being issued before the lexical
3831 token had been advanced to the token whose value was causing an error...
3832 causing parse warnings to claim the problem is on the wrong token.
3833
3834- Host declarations matching on client identifier for dynamic leases will
3835 no longer match fixed-address host declarations (this is now identical
3836 to behaviour for host records matching on hardware address).
3837
3838 Changes since 3.0.2rc3
3839
3840- A previously undocumented configuration directive, 'local-address',
3841 was documented in the dhcpd.conf manpage.
3842
3843 Changes since 3.0.2rc2
3844
45d545f0 3845- Two variables introduced in 3.0.2b1 were used without being initialized
98311e4b
DH
3846 in the case where neither the FILE nor SNAME fields were available for
3847 overloading. This was repaired.
3848
3849- A heretofore believed to be impossible corner case of the option
3850 overloading implementation turned out to be possible ("Unable to sort
3851 overloaded options after 10 tries."). The implementation was reworked
3852 to consider the case of an option so large it would require more than
3853 three chunks to fit.
3854
3855- Many other instances of variables being used without being initialized
3856 were repaired.
3857
3858- An uninitialized variable in omapi_io_destroy() led to the discovery
3859 that this function may result in orphaned pointers (and hence, a memory
3860 leak).
3861
3862 Changes since 3.0.2rc1
3863
3864- allocate_lease() was rewritten to repair a bug in which the server would
3865 try to allocate an ABANDONED lease when FREE leases were available.
3866
3867 Changes since 3.0.2b1
3868
3869- Some dhcp-eval.5 manpage formatting was repaired.
3870
3871 Changes since 3.0.1
3872
3873- A bug was fixed in the server's 'option overloading' implementation,
3874 where options loaded into the 'file' and 'sname' packet fields were
3875 not aligned precisely as rfc2131 dictates.
3876
3877- The FreeBSD client script was changed to support the case where a domain
3878 name was not provided by the server.
3879
3880- A memory leak in 'omshell' per each command line parsed was
3881 repaired, thanks to a patch from Jarkko Torppa.
3882
3883- Log functions writing to stderr were adjusted to use the STDERR_FILENO
3884 system definition rather than '2'. This is a no-op for 90% of platforms.
3885
3886- One call to trace_write_packet_iov() counted the number of io vectors
3887 incorrectly, causing inconsistent tracefiles. This was fixed.
3888
3889- Some expression parse failure memory leaks were closed.
3890
3891- A host byte order problem in tracefiles was repaired.
3892
3893- Pools configured in DHCPD for failover possessing permission lists that
adb95d23 3894 previously were assumed to not include dynamic bootp clients are now
98311e4b
DH
3895 a little more pessimistic. The result is, dhcpd will nag you about just
3896 about most pools that possess a 'allow' statement with no 'deny' that
3897 would definitely match a dynamic bootp client.
3898
3899- The 'ddns-update-style' configuration warning bit now insists that
3900 the configuration be globally scoped.
3901
3902- Two memory leaks in dhclient were closed thanks to a patch from Felix
3903 Farkas.
3904
3905- Some minor but excellently pedantic documentation errors were fixed
3906 thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
3907
3908- Bugs in operator precedence in executable statements have been repaired
3909 once again. More legal syntaxes should be parsed legally.
3910
3911- Failing to initialize a tracefile for any reason if a tracefile was
3912 specified is now a fatal error. Thanks to a patch from Albert Herranz.
3913
3914- Corrected a bug in which the number of leases transferred as calculated
3915 by the failover primary and sent to peers in POOLRESP responses may be
3916 incorrect. This value is not believed to be used by other failover
3917 implementations, excepting perhaps as logged information.
3918
3919- Corrected a bug in which 'dhcp_failover_send_poolresp()' was in fact
3920 sending POOLREQ messages instead of POOLRESP mesasges. This message
3921 was essentially ignored since failover secondaries effectively do not
3922 respond to POOLREQ messages.
3923
3924- Type definitions for various bitwidths of integers in the sunos5-5
3925 build of ISC DHCP have been fixed. It should compile and run more
3926 easily when built in 64-bit for this platform.
3927
3928- "allow known-clients;" is now a legal syntax, to avoid confusion.
3929
3930- If one dhcp server chooses to 'load balance' a request to its failover
3931 peer, it first checks to see if it believes said peer has a free
3932 lease to allocate before ignoring the DISCOVER.
3933
3934- log() was logging a work buffer, rather than the value returned by
3935 executing the statements configured by the user. In some cases,
3936 the work buffer and the intended results were the same. In some other
3937 cases, they were not. This was fixed thanks to a patch from Gunnar
3938 Fjone and directconnect.no.
3939
3940- Compiler warnings for some string type conversions was fixed, thanks
3941 to Andreas Gustafsson.
3942
3943- The netbsd build environments were simplified to one, in which
3944 -Wconversion is not used, thanks to Andreas Gustafsson.
3945
3946- How randomness in the backoff-cutoff dhclient configuration variable
3947 is implemented was better documented in the manpage, and the behaviour
3948 of dhclient in REQUEST timeout handling was changed to match that of
3949 DISCOVER timeout handling.
3950
3951- Omapi was hardened against clients that pass in null values, thanks
3952 to a patch from Mark Jason Dominus.
3953
3954- A bug was fixed in dhclient that kept it from doing client-side
3955 ddns updates. Thanks to a patch from Andreas Gustafsson, which
3956 underwent some modification after review by Jason Vas Dias.
3957
3958- Failover implementations disconnected due to the network between
3959 them (rather than one of the two shutting down) will now try to
3960 re-establish the failover connection every 5 seconds, rather than
3961 to simply try once and give up until one of them is restarted.
3962 Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from Infoblox, and field testing
3963 by Greger V. Teigre which led to an enhancement to it.
3964
3965- A problem that kept DHCP Failover secondaries from tearing down
3966 ddns records was repaired. Thanks to a patch from Ulf Ekberg from
3967 Infoblox.
3968
3969- 64bit pointer sizes are detected properly on FreeBSD now.
3970
3971- A bug was repaired where the DHCP server would leave stale references
3972 to host records on leases it once thought about offering to certain
3973 clients. The result would be to apply host and 'known' scopes to the
3974 wrong clients (possibly denying booting). NOTE: The 'mis-host' patch
3975 that was being circulated as a workaround is not the way this bug was
3976 fixed. If you were a victim of this bug in 3.0.1, you are cautioned
3977 to proceed carefully and see if it fixes your problem.
3978
3979- A bug was repaired in the server's DHCPINFORM handling, where it
3980 tried to divine the client's address from the source packet and
3981 would get it wrong. Thanks to Anshuman Singh Rawat.
3982
3983- A log message was introduced to help illuminate the case where the
3984 server was unable to find a lease to assign to any BOOTP client.
3985 Thanks to Daniel Baker.
3986
3987- A minor dhcpd.conf.5 manpage error was fixed.
3988
3989 Changes since 3.0.1rc14
3990
3991- The global variable 'cur_time' was centralized and is now uniformly of a
3992 type #defined in system-dependent headers. It had previously been defined
3993 in one of many places as a 32-bit value, and this causes mayhem on 64-bit
3994 big endian systems. It probably wasn't too healthy on little endian
3995 systems either.
3996
3997- A printf format string error introduced in rc14 was repaired.
3998
3999- AIX system-dependent header file was altered to only define NO_SNPRINTF
4000 if the condition used to #ifdef in vsnprintf in AIX' header files
4001 is false.
4002
4003- The Alpha/OSF system-dependent header file was altered to define
4004 NO_SNPRINTF on OS revisions older than 4.0G.
4005
4006- omapip/test.c had string.h added to its includes.
4007
4008 Changes since 3.0.1rc13
4009
4010! CAN-2004-0460 - CERT VU#317350: Five stack overflow exploits were closed
4011 in logging messages with excessively long hostnames provided by the
4012 clients. It is highly probable that these could have been used by
4013 attackers to gain arbitrary root access on systems using ISC DHCP 3.0.1
4014 release candidates 12 or 13. Special thanks to Gregory Duchemin for
4015 both finding and solving the problem.
4016
4017! CAN-2004-0461 - CERT VU#654390: Once the above was closed, an opening
45d545f0 4018 in log_*() functions was evidenced, on some specific platforms where
98311e4b
DH
4019 vsnprintf() was not believed to be available and calls were wrapped to
4020 sprintf() instead. Again, credit goes to Gregory Duchemin for finding
4021 the problem. Calls to snprintf() are now linked to a distribution-local
4022 snprintf implementation, only in those cases where the architecture is
4023 not known to provide one (see includes/cf/[arch].h). If you experience
4024 linking problems with snprintf/vsnprintf or 'isc_print_' functions, this
4025 is where to look. This vulnerability did not exist in any previously
4026 published version of ISC DHCP.
4027
4028- Compilation on hpux 11.11 was repaired.
4029
4030- 'The cross-compile bug fix' was backed out.
4031
4032 Changes since 3.0.1rc12
4033
4034- Fixed a bug in omapi lease lookup function, to form the hardware
4035 address for the hash lookup correctly, thanks to a patch from
4036 Richard Hirst.
4037
4038- Fixed a bug where dhcrelay was sending relayed responses back to the
4039 broadcast address, but with the source's unicast mac address. Should
4040 now conform to rfc2131 section 4.1.
4041
4042- Cross-compile bug fix; use $(AR) instead of ar. Thanks to Morten Brorup.
4043
4044- Fixed a crash bug in dhclient where dhcpd servers that do not provide
4045 renewal times results in an FPE. As a side effect, dhclient can now
4046 properly handle 0xFFFFFFFF (-1) expiry times supplied by servers. Thanks
4047 to a patch from Burt Silverman.
4048
4049- The 'ping timeout' debugs from rc12 were removed to -DDEBUG only,
45d545f0 4050 and reformatted to correct a compilation error on Solaris platforms.
98311e4b
DH
4051
4052- A patch was applied which fixes a case where leases read from the
4053 leases database do not properly over-ride previously read leases.
4054
4055- dhcpctl.3 manpage was tweaked.
4056
4057 Changes since 3.0.1rc11
4058
4059- A patch from Steve Campbell was applied with minor modifications to
4060 permit reverse dns PTR record updates with values containing spaces.
4061
4062- A patch from Florian Lohoff was applied with some modifications to
4063 dhcrelay. It now discards packets whose hop count exceeds 10 by default,
4064 and a command-line option (-c) can be used to set this threshold.
4065
4066- A failover bug relating to identifying peers by name length instead of
4067 by name was fixed.
4068
45d545f0 4069- Declaring failover configs within shared-network statements should no
98311e4b
DH
4070 longer result in error.
4071
4072- The -nw command line option to dhclient now works.
4073
4074- Thanks to a patch from Michael Richardson:
4075 - Some problems with long option processing have been fixed.
4076 - Some fixes to minires so that updates of KEY records will work.
4077
4078- contrib/ms2isc was updated by Shu-Min Chang of the Intel Corporation.
4079 see contrib/ms2isc/readme.txt for revision notes.
4080
4081- Dhclient no longer uses shell commands to kill another instance of
4082 itself, it sends the signal directly. Thanks to a patch from Martin
4083 Blapp.
4084
4085- The FreeBSD dhclient-script was changed so that a failure to write to
4086 /etc/resolv.conf does not prematurely end the script. This keeps dhclient
4087 from looping infinitely when this is the case. Thanks to a patch from
4088 Martin Blapp.
4089
4090- A patch from Bill Stephens was applied which resolves a problem with lease
4091 expiry times in failover configurations.
4092
4093- A memory leak in configuration parsing was closed thanks to a patch from
4094 Steve G.
4095
4096- The function which discovers interfaces will now skip non-broadcast or
4097 point-to-point interfaces, thanks to a patch from David Brownlee.
4098
4099- Options not yet known by the dhcpd or dhclient have had their names
4100 changed such that they do not contain # symbols, in case they should ever
4101 appear in a lease file. An option that might have been named "#144" is
4102 now "unknown-144".
4103
4104- Another patch from Bill Stephens which allows the ping-check timeout to
4105 be configured as 'ping-timeout'. Defaults to 1.
4106
4107 Changes since 3.0.1rc10
4108
4109- Potential buffer overflows in minires repaired.
4110
4111- A change to the linux client script to use /bin/bash, since /bin/sh may
4112 not be bash.
4113
4114- Some missing va_end cleanups thanks to a patch from Thomas Klausner.
4115
4116- A correction of boolean parsing syntax validation - some illegal syntaxes
4117 that worked before are now detected and produce errs, some legal syntaxes
4118 that errored before will now work properly.
4119
4120- Some search-and-replace errors that caused some options to change their
4121 names was repaired.
4122
4123- Shu-min Chang of the Intel corporation has contributed a perl script and
4124 module that converts the MS NT4 DHCP configuration to a ISC DHCP3
4125 configuration file.
4126
4127- Applied the remainder of the dhcpctl memory leak patch provided by Bill
4128 Squier at ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
4129
4130- Missing non-optional failover peer configurations will now result in a soft
4131 error rather than a null dereference.
4132
4133 Changes since 3.0.1rc9
4134
4135- A format string was corrected to fix compiler warnings.
4136
4137- A number of spelling corrections were made in the man pages.
4138
4139- The dhclient.conf.5 man page was changed to refer to do-forward-updates
4140 rather than a configuration option that doesn't exist.
4141
4142- A FreeBSD-specific bug in the interface removal handling was fixed.
4143
4144- A Linux-specific Token Ring detection problem was fixed.
4145
4146- Hashes removed from as-yet-unknown agent options, having those options
4147 appear in reality before we know about them will no longer produce
4148 self-corrupting lease databases.
4149
4150- dhclient will use the proper port numbers now when using the -g option.
4151
4152- A order-of-operations bug with 2 match clauses in 1 class statement is
4153 fixed thanks to a patch from Andrew Matheson.
4154
4155- Compilation problems on Solaris were fixed.
4156
4157- Compilation problems when built with DEBUG or DEBUG_PACKET were repaired.
4158
4159- A fix to the dhcp ack process which makes certain group options will be
4160 included in the first DHCPOFFER message was made thanks to a patch from
4161 Ling Gou.
4162
4163- A few memory leaks were repaired thanks to patches from Bill Squier at
4164 ReefEdge, Inc. (groo@reefedge.com).
4165
4166- A fix for shared-networks that sometimes give clients options for the
4167 wrong subnets (in particular, 'option routers') was applied, thanks to
4168 Ted Lemon for the patch.
4169
4170- Omshell's handling of dotted octets as values was changed such that dots
4171 one after the other produce zero values in the integer string.
4172
4173 Changes since 3.0.1rc8
4174
4175- Fix a format string vulnerability in the server that could lead to a
4176 remote root compromise (discovered by NGSEC Research Team, www.ngsec.com).
4177
4178- Add additional support for NetBSD/sparc64.
4179
4180- Fix a bug in the command-line parsing of the client. Also, resolve
4181 a memory leak.
4182
4183- Add better support for shells other than bash in the Linux client
4184 script.
4185
4186- Various build fixes for modern versions of FreeBSD and Linux.
4187
4188- Fix a bad bounds check when printing binding state names.
4189
4190- Clarify documentation about fixed-address and multiple addresses.
4191
4192- Fix a typo in the authoritative error message.
4193
4194- Make a log entry when we can't write a billing class.
4195
4196- Use conversion targets that are the right size on all architectures.
4197
4198- Increment the hop count when relaying.
4199
4200- Log a message when lease state is changed through OMAPI.
4201
4202- Don't rerun the shared_network when evaluating the pool.
4203
4204- Fix a reversed test in the parser.
4205
4206- Change the type of rbuf_max.
4207
4208- Make FTS_LAST a manifest constant to quiet warnings.
4209
4210 Changes since 3.0.1rc7
4211
4212- Fix two compiler warnings that are generated when compiling on Solaris
4213 with gcc. These stop the build, even though they weren't actually
4214 errors, because we prefer that our builds generate no warnings.
4215
4216 Changes since 3.0.1rc6
4217
4218- Don't allow a lease that's in the EXPIRED, RELEASED or RESET state
4219 to be renewed.
4220
4221- Implement lease stealing for cases where the primary has fewer leases
4222 than the secondary, as called for by the standard.
4223
4224- Add a fudge factor to the lease expiry acceptance code, (suggested
4225 by Kevin Miller of CMU).
4226
4227- Fix a bug in permit_list_match that made it much too willing to say
4228 that two permit lists matched.
4229
4230- Unless DEBUG_DNS_UPDATES is defined, print more user-friendly (and
4231 also more compact) messages about DNS updates.
4232
4233- Fix a bug in generating wire-format domain names for the FQDN option.
4234
4235- Fix a bug where the FQDN option would not be returned if the client
4236 requested it, contrary to the standard.
4237
4238- On Darwin, use the FreeBSD DHCP client script.
4239
4240- On NetBSD/sparc, don't check for casting warnings.
4241
4242- Add a flag in the DHCP client to disable updating the client's A
4243 record when sending an FQDN option indicating that the client is
4244 going to update its A record.
4245
4246- In the client, don't attempt a DNS update until one second after
4247 configuring the new IP address, and if the update times out, keep
4248 trying until a response, positive or negative, is received from the
4249 DNS server.
4250
4251- Fix an uninitialized memory bug in the DHCP client.
4252
4253- Apply some FreeBSD-specific bug fixes suggested by Murray Stokely.
4254
4255- Fix a bug in ns_parserr(), where it was returning the wrong sort
4256 of result code in some cases (suggested by Ben Harris of the
4257 NetBSD project).
4258
4259- Fix a bug in is_identifier(), where it was checking against EOF
4260 instead of the END_OF_FILE token (also suggested by Ben Harris).
4261
4262- Fix a bug where if an option universe contained no options, the
4263 DHCP server could dump core (Walter Steiner).
4264
4265- Fix a bug in the handling of encapsulated options.
4266
4267- Fix a bug that prevented NWIP suboptions from being processed.
4268
4269- Delete the FTS_BOOTP and FTS_RESERVED states and implement them
4270 as modifier flags to the FTS_ACTIVE state, as called for in the
4271 failover protocol standard.
4272
4273- Fix bugs in the pool merging code that resulted in references and
4274 dereferences of null pointers. This bug had no impact unless the
4275 POINTER_DEBUG flag was defined.
4276
4277- In the server, added a do-forward-updates flag that can be used to
4278 disable forward updates in all cases, so that sites that want the
4279 clients to take sole responsibility for updating their A record can
4280 do so.
4281
4282- Make it possible to disable optimization of PTR record updates.
4283
4284 Changes since 3.0.1rc5
4285
4286- Include some new documentation and changes provided by Karl Auer.
4287
4288- Add a workaround for some Lexmark printers that send a double-NUL-
4289 terminated host-name option, which would break DNS updates.
4290
4291- Fix an off-by-one error in the MAC-address checking code for
4292 DHCPRELEASE that was added in 3.0.1rc5.
4293
4294- Fix a bug where client-specific information was not being discarded
4295 from the lease when it expired or was released, resulting in
4296 problems if the lease was reallocated to a different client.
4297
4298- If more than one allocation pool is specified that has the same set
4299 of constraints as another allocation pool on the same shared
4300 network, merge the two pools.
4301
4302- Don't print an error in fallback_discard, since this just causes
4303 confusion and does not appear to be helping to encourage anyone to
4304 fix this bug.
4305
4306 Changes since 3.0.1rc4
4307
4308- Fix a bug that would cause the DHCP server to spin if asked to parse
4309 a certain kind of incorrect statement.
4310
4311- Fix a related bug that would prevent an error from being reported in
4312 the same case.
4313
4314- Additional documentation.
4315
4316- Make sure that the hardware address matches the lease when
4317 processing a DHCPRELEASE message.
4318
4319 Changes since 3.0.1rc3
4320
4321- A minor bug fix in the arguments to a logging function call.
4322- Documentation update for dhcpd.conf.
4323
adbef119 4324 Changes since 3.0.1rc2
98311e4b
DH
4325
4326- Allow the primary to send a POOLREQ message. This isn't what the current
4327 failover draft says to do, so we may have to back it out if I can't get the
4328 authors to relent, but the scheme for balancing that's specified in the
4329 current draft seems needlessly hairy, so I'm floating a trial balloon.
4330 The rc1 code did not implement the method described in the draft either.
4331
adbef119 4332 Changes since 3.0.1rc1
98311e4b
DH
4333
4334- Treat NXDOMAIN and NXRRSET as success when we are trying to delete a
4335 domain or RRSET. This allows the DHCP server to forget about a name
4336 it added to the DNS once it's been removed, even if the DHCP server
4337 wasn't the one that removed it.
4338
4339- Install defaults for failover maximum outstanding updates and maximum
4340 silent time. This prevents problems that might occur if these values
4341 were not configured.
4342
4343- Don't do DDNS deletes if ddns-update-style is none.
4344
4345- Return relay agent information options in DHCPNAK. This prevents DHCPNAK
4346 messages from being dropped when the relay agent information option contains
4347 routing information.
4348
4349- Fix a problem where coming up in recover wouldn't result in an update
4350 request being sent.
4351
4352- Add some more chatty messages when we start a recovery update and when it's
4353 done.
4354
4355- Fix a possible problem where some state might have been left around
4356 after the peer lost contact and regained contact about how many updates
4357 were pending.
4358
4359- Don't nix a lease update because of a lease conflict. This test has
4360 never (as far as I know) prevented a mistake, and it appears to cause
4361 problems with failover.
4362
4363- Add support in rc history code for keeping a selective history, rather
4364 than a history of all references and dereferences. This code is only used
4365 when extensive additional debugging is enabled.
4366
adbef119 4367 Changes since 3.0
98311e4b
DH
4368
4369- Make allocators for hash tables. As a side effect, this fixes a memory
4370 smash in the subclass allocation code.
4371
4372- Fix a small bug in omshell where if you try to close an object when
4373 no object is open, it dumps core.
4374
4375- Fix an obscure coredump that could occur on shutdown.
4376
4377- Fix a bug in the recording of host declaration rubouts in the lease file.
4378
4379- Fix two potential spins in the host deletion code.
4380
4381- Fix a core dump that would happen if an application tried to update
4382 a host object attribute with a null value.
4383
4384 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 12
4385
4386- Fix a memory leak in the evaluation code.
4387
4388- Fix an obscure core dump.
4389
4390- Print a couple of new warnings when parsing the configuration file
4391 when crucial information is left out.
4392
4393- Log "no free leases" as an error.
4394
4395- Documentation updates.
4396
4397 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 11
4398
4399- Always return a subnet selection option if one is sent.
4400
4401- Fix a warning that was being printed because an automatic data
4402 structure wasn't zeroed.
4403
4404- Fix some failover state transitions that were being handled
4405 incorrectly.
4406
4407- When supersede_lease is called on a lease whose end time has already
4408 expired, but for which a state transition has not yet been done, do
4409 a state transition. This fixes the case where if the secondary
4410 allocated a lease to a client and the lease "expired" while the
4411 secondary was in partner-down, no expiry event would actually
4412 happen, so the lease would remain active until the primary was
4413 restarted.
4414
4415 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 10
4416
4417- Fix a bug that was preventing released leases from changing state
4418 in failover-enabled pools.
4419
4420- Fix a core dump in the client identifier finder code (for host
4421 declarations).
4422
4423- Finish fixing a bug where bogus data would sometimes get logged to
4424 the dhclient.leases file because it was opened as descriptor 2.
4425
4426- Fix the Linux dhclient-script according to suggestions made by
4427 several people on the dhcp-client mailing list.
4428
4429- Log successful DNS updates at LOG_INFO, not LOG_ERROR.
4430
4431- Print an error message and refuse to run if a failover peer is
4432 defined but not referenced by any pools.
4433
4434- Correct a confusing error message in failover.
4435
eaf0b302
TL
4436 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 9

TL
4440 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8 Patchlevel 2
4441
4442- Fix a bug that prevented update-static-leases from working.
4443
4444- Document failover-state OMAPI object.
4445
4446- Fix a compilation error on SunOS 4.
4447
d758ad8c
TL
4448 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8 Patchlevel 1
4449
4450- Fix a parsing bug that broke dns updates (both interim and ad-hoc).
4451 This was introduced in rc8pl1 as an unintended result of the memory
4452 leakage fixes that were in pl1.
4453
4454- Fix a long-standing bug where the server would record that an update
4455 had been done for a client with no name, even though no update had
4456 been done, and then when the client's lease expired the deletion of
4457 that nonexistant record would time out because the name was the null
9a111ee8 4458 string.
d758ad8c
TL
4459
4460- Clean up the omshell, dhcpctl and omapi man pages a bit.
4461
d758ad8c
TL
4462 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 8
4463
4464- Fix a bug that could cause the DHCP server to spin if
4465 one-lease-per-client was enabled.
4466
4467- Fix a bug that was causing core dumps on BSD/os in the presence of
4468 malformed packets.
4469
4470- In partner-down state, don't restrict lease lengths to MCLT.
4471
4472- On the failover secondary, record the MCLT received from the primary
4473 so that if we come up without a connection to the primary we don't
4474 wind up giving out zero-length leases.
4475
4476- Fix some compilation problems on BSD/os.
4477
4478- Fix a bunch of memory leaks.
4479
4480- Fix a couple of bugs in the option printer.
4481
4482- Fix an obscure error reporting bug in the dns update code, and also
4483 make the message clearer when a key algorithm isn't supported.
4484
4485- Fix a bug in the tracing code that prevented trace runs that used
4486 tcp connections from being played back.
4487
4488- Add some additional debugging capability for catching memory leaks
4489 on exit.
4490
4491- Make the client release the lease correctly on shutdown.
4492
4493- Add some configurability to the build system.
4494
4495- Install omshell manual page in man1, not man8.
4496
4497- Craig Gwydir sent in a patch that fixes a long-standing bug in the
4498 DHCP client that could cause core dumps, but that for some reason
4499 hadn't been noticed until now.
4500
4501 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 7
4502
4503- Fix a bug in failover where we weren't sending updates after a
4504 transition from communications-interrupted to normal.
4505
4506- Handle expired/released/reset -> free transition according to the
4507 protocol specification (this works - the other way not only wasn't
4508 conformant, but also didn't work).
4509
4510- Add a control object in both client and server that allows either
4511 daemon to be shut down cleanly.
4512
4513- When writing a lease, if we run out of disk space, shut down the
4514 output file and insist on writing a new one before proceeding.
4515
4516- In the server, if the OMAPI listener port is occupied, keep trying
4517 to get it, rather than simply giving up and exiting.
4518
4519- Support fetching variables from leases and also updating and adding
4520 variables to leases via OMAPI.
4521
4522- If two failover peers have wildly different clocks, refuse to start
4523 doing failover.
4524
4525- Fix a bug in the DNS update code that could cause core dumps when
4526 running on alpha processors.
4527
4528- Fixed a bug in ddns updates for static lease entries, thanks to a
4529 patch from Andrey M Linkevitch.
4530
4531- Add support for Darwin/MacOS X
4532
4533- Install omshell (including new documentation).
4534
4535- Support DNS updates in the client (this is a very obscure feature
4536 that most DHCP client users probably will not be able to use).
4537
4538- Somewhat cleaner status logging in the client.
4539
4540- Make OMAPI key naming syntax compatible with the way keys are
4541 actually named (key names are domain names).
4542
4543- Fix a bug in the lease file writer.
4544
4545- Install DHCP ISC headers in a different place than BIND 9 ISC
4546 headers, to avoid causing trouble in BIND 9 builds.
4547
4548- Don't send updates for attributes on an object when the attributes
4549 haven't changed. Support deleting attributes on remote objects.
4550
4551- Fix a number of bugs in omshell, and add the unset and refresh
4552 statements.
4553
4554- Handle disconnects in OMAPI a little bit more intelligently (so that
4555 the caller gets ECONNRESET instead of EINVAL).
4556
4557- Fix a bunch of bugs in the handling of clients that have existing
4558 leases when the try to renew their leases while failover is
4559 operating.
4560
eaf0b302
TL
4561 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 6
4562
4563- Fix a core dump that could happen when processing a DHCPREQUEST from
4564 a client that had a host declaration that contained both a
4565 fixed-address declaration and a dhcp-client-identifier option
4566 declaration, if the client identifier was longer than nine bytes.
4567
4568- Fix a memory leak that could happen in certain obscure cases when
4569 using omapi to manipulate leases.
4570
4571- Fix some bugs and omissions in omshell.
4572
eaf0b302
TL
4573 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 5
4574
4575- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that prevented objects in
4576 chains from having their reference counts decreased on dereference.
4577
4578- Fix a bug in omapi_object_dereference that would prevent object
4579 chains from being freed upon removal of the last reference external
4580 to the chain.
4581
4582- Fix a number of other memory leaks in the OMAPI protocol subsystem.
4583
4584- Add code in the OMAPI protocol handler to trace memory leakage.
4585
4586- Clean up the memory allocation/reference history printer.
4587
98311e4b 4588- Support input of dotted quads and colon-separated hex lists as
eaf0b302

4592
4593- Conditionalize a piece of trace code that wasn't conditional.
4594
4595 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 4
4596
4597- Fix a bug that would prevent leases from being abandoned properly on
4598 DHCPDECLINE.
4599
4600- Fix failover peer OMAPI support.
4601
4602- In failover, correctly handle expiration of leases. Previously,
4603 leases would never be reclaimed because they couldn't make the
4604 transition from EXPIRED to FREE.
4605
4606- Fix some broken failover state transitions.
4607
4608- Documentation fixes.
4609
4610- Take out an unnecessary check in DHCP relay agent information option
4611 stashing code that was preventing REBINDING clients from rebinding.
4612
4613- Prevent failover peers from allocating leases in DHCPREQUEST
4614 processing if the lease belongs to the other server.
4615
4616- Record server version in lease file introductory comment.
4617
4618- Correctly report connection errors in OMAPI and failover.
4619
4620- Make authentication signature algorithm name comparisons in OMAPI
4621 case-insensitive.
4622
4623- Fix compile problem on SunOS 4.x
4624
98311e4b 4625- If a signature algorithm is not terminated with '.', terminate it so
eaf0b302
TL
4626 that comparisons between fully-qualified names will work
4627 consistently.
4628
4629- Different SIOCGIFCONF probe code, may "fix" problem on some Linux
4630 systems with the probe not working correctly.
4631
4632- Don't allow user to type omapi key on command line of omshell.

TL
4634 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 3
4635
4636- Do lease billing on startup in a way that I *think* will finally do
4637 the billing correctly - the previous method could overbill as a
4638 result of duplicate leases.
4639
4640- Document OMAPI server objects.

TL
4642 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 2 Patchlevel 1
4643
4644- Fix some problems in the DDNS update code. Thanks to Albert
4645 Herranz for figuring out the main problem.
4646
4647- Fix some reference counting errors on host entries that were causing
4648 core dumps.
4649
4650- Fix a byte-swap bug in the token ring code, thanks to Jochen
4651 Friedrich.
4652
4653- Fix a bug in lease billing, thanks to Jonas Bulow.
4654
4655 Changes since 3.0 Release Candidate 2
4656
4657- Change the conditions under which a DHCPRELEASE is actually
4658 committed to be consistent with lease binding states rather than
98311e4b 4659 using the lease end time. This may fix some problems with the
892fe689
TL
4660 billing class code.
4661
4662- Fix a bug where lease updates would fail on Digital Unix (and maybe

TL
4670- Fix the dhcp_failover_put_message to not attempt to allocate a
4671 zero-length buffer. Some versions of malloc() fail if you try to
4672 allocate a zero-length buffer, and this was causing problems on,
4673 e.g., Digital Unix.
4674
4675- Fix a case where the failover code was printing an error message
4676 when no error had occurred.
4677
4678- Fix a problem where when a server went down and back up again, the
4679 peer would not see a state transition and so would stay in the
4680 non-communicating state.
4681
4682- Be smart about going into recover_wait.
4683
4684- Fix a problem in the failover implementation where peers would fail
4685 to come into sync if interrupted in the RECOVER state. This could
4686 have been the cause of some problems people have reported recently.
4687
4688- Fix a problem with billing classes where they would not be unbilled
4689 when the client lease expired.
4690
4691- If select fails, figure out which descriptor is bad, and cut it out
4692 of the I/O loop. This prevents a potentially nasty spin. I
4693 haven't heard any report it in a while, but it came up consistently
4694 in testing.
4695
4696- Fix a bug in the relay agent where if you specified interfaces on
4697 the command line, it would fail.
4698
4699- Fix a couple of small bugs in the omapi connection object (no known
4700 user impact).
4701
4702- Add the missing 3.0 Beta 1 lease conversion script.
4703
4704- Read dhcp client script hooks if they exist, rather than only if
4705 they're executable.

4717- There is a known problem with the DHCP server doing failover on
4718 Compaq Alpha systems. This patchlevel is not a release candidate
4719 because of this bug. The bug should be straightforward to fix, so
4720 a new release candidate is expected shortly.

4728 work, so that failover should now much less fragile.

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

4821
4822- Implement omshell, which can be used to do arbitrary things to the
4823 server (in theory). (Damien Neil)
4824
4825- Fix a case where if a client had two different leases the server could
4826 actually dereference the second one when it hadn't been referenced,
4827 leading to memory corruption and a core dump. (James Brister)
4828
4829- Fix a case where a client could request the address of another client's
4830 lease, but find_lease wouldn't detect that the other client had it, and
4831 would attempt to allocate it to the client, resulting in a lease conflict
4832 message.
4833
4834- Fix a case where a client with more than one client identifier could be
4835 given a lease where the hardware address was correct but the client
4836 identifier was not, resulting in a lease conflict message.
4837
98311e4b 4838- Fix a problem where the server could write out a colon-separated
3350f5b7
TL
4839 hex list as a value for a variable, which would then not parse.
4840 The fix is to always write strings as quoted strings, with any
4841 non-printable characters quoted as octal escape sequences. So
4842 a file written the old way still won't work, but new files written
4843 this way will work.

4845- Fix documentation for sending non-standard options.
4846
4847- Use unparsable names for unknown options. WARNING: this will
4848 break any configuration files that use the option-nnn convention.
4849 If you want to continue to use this convention for some options,
4850 please be sure to write a definition, like this:
4851
4852 option option-nnn code nnn = string;
4853
4854 You can use a descriptive name instead of option-nnn if you like.
4855
4856- Fix a problem where we would see a DHCPDISCOVER/DHCPOFFER/
4857 DHCPREQUEST/DHCPACK/DHCPREQUEST/DHCPNAK sequence. This was the
4858 result of a deceptively silly bug in supersede_lease.
4859

4861 Hermann Lauer.

TL
4873- Add support for transaction tracing. This allows the state of the
4874 DHCP server on startup, and all the subsequent transactions, to be
4875 recorded in a file which can then be played back to reproduce the
4876 behaviour of the DHCP server. This can be used to quickly
4877 reproduce bugs that cause core dumps or corruption, and also for
4878 tracking down memory leaks.
4879
4880- Incorporate some bug fixes provided by Joost Mulders for the DLPI
4881 package which should clear up problems people have been seeing on
4882 Solaris.
4883
4884- Fix bugs in the handling of options stored as linked lists (agent
4885 options, fqdn options and nwip options) that could cause memory
4886 corruption and core dumps.
4887

4889 not being send in some cases when they were needed.

4933
4934- Finish fixing a long-standing bug in the agent options code. This
4935 was causing core dumps and failing to operate correctly - in
4936 particular, agent option stashing wasn't working. Agent option
4937 stashing should now be working, meaning that agent options can be
4938 used in class statements to control address allocation.
4939

4947- Fix a compile error on some older operating systems.

4950 transmitting packets to the server. Handy for debugging; not much
4951 practical use otherwise.

4962- Work around the Win98 DHCP client, which NUL-terminates the FQDN
4963 option.

4965- Work around Win98 and Win2k clients that will claim they want to do
4966 the update even when they don't have any way to do it.
4967
4968- Fix some log messages that can be printed when failover is operating
4969 that were not printing enough information.
4970
4971- It was possible for a DHCPDISCOVER to get an allocation even when
4972 the state machine said the server shouldn't be responding.
4973
4974- Don't load balance DHCPREQUESTs from clients in RENEWING and
4975 REBINDING, since in RENEWING, if we heard it, it's for us, and in
4976 REBINDING, the client wouldn't have got to REBINDING if its primary
4977 were answering.

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

5034 RFC.

5096- Fix a possible DoS attack where a client could cause the checksummer
5097 to dump core. This was a read, not a write, so it shouldn't be
5098 possible to exploit it any further than that.
5099
5100- Implement client- and server-side support for using the Client FQDN
5101 option.
5102
5103- Support for other option spaces in the client has been added. This
5104 means that it is now possible to define a vendor option space on the
5105 client, request options in that space from the server (which must
5106 define the same option space), and then use those options in the
5107 client. This also allows NWIP and Client FQDN options to be used
5108 meaningfully.
5109
5110- Add object initializer support. This means that objects can now be
5111 initialized to something other than all-zeros when allocated, which
5112 makes, e.g., the interface object support code a little more robust.
5113
5114- Fix an off-by-one bug in the host stuffer. This was causing host
5115 deletes not the work, and may also have been causing OMAPI
