We have made some changes to the interfaces code in order to
expand the use of USE_SOCKETS and would be interested in testing
and feedback to ensure that we have not damaged the rest of the
interfaces code.
Changes since 4.1-ESV-R2
- DHCPv6 server now responds properly if client asks for a prefix that
is already assigned to a different client. [ISC-Bugs #23948]
- Fix the handling of connection requests on the failover port.
This was a security issue in 4.2.0 but is not in 4.1.x.
[ISC-Bugs #22679]
- When processing the format flags for a given option consume the
flag indicating an optional value correctly. A symptom of this
bug was an infinite loop when trying to parse the slp-service-scope
option. Thanks to a patch from Marius Tomaschewski.
[ISC-Bugs #22055]
- Modify the dlpi code to accept getmsg() returning a positive value.
[ISC-Bugs #22824]
- Removed the restriction on using IPv6 addresses in IPv4 mode. This
allows IPv4 options which contain IPv6 addresses to be specified. For
example the 6rd option can be specified and used like this:
[ISC-Bugs #23039]
option 6rd code 212 = { integer 8, integer 8,
ip6-address, array of ip-address };
option 6rd 16 10 2001:: 1.2.3.4, 5.6.7.8;
- Add the option "--no-pid" to the client, relay and server code,
to disable writing a pid file. Add the option "-pf pidfile"
to the relay to allow the user to supply the pidfile name at
runtime. Add the "with-relay6-pid-file" option to configure
to allow the user to supply the pidfile name for the relay
in v6 mode at configure time.
[ISC-Bugs #23351] [ISC-Bugs #17541]
- 'dhclient' no longer waits a random interval after first starting up
to begin in the INIT state. This conforms to RFC 2131, but elects
not to implement a 'SHOULD' direction in section 4.1.
[ISC-Bugs #19660]
- Added 'initial-delay' parameter that specifies maximum amount of
time before client goes to the INIT state. The default value is 0. In
previous versions of the code client could wait up to 5 seconds. The
old behavior may be restored by using 'initial-delay 5;' in the
client config file. [ISC-Bugs #19660]
- ICMP ping-check should now sit closer to precisely the number of
seconds configured (or default 1), due to making use of the new
microsecond
scale timer internally to dhcpd. This corrects a bug where the server
may immediately timeout an ICMP ping-check if it was made late in the
current second. [ISC-Bugs #19660]
- The DHCP client will schedule renewal and rebinding events in
microseconds if the DHCP server provided a lease-time that would
result in sub-1-second timers. This corrects a bug where a 2-second
or lower lease-time would cause the DHCP client to enter an infinite
loop by scheduling renewal at zero seconds. [ISC-Bugs #19660]
- Client lease records are recorded at most once every 15 seconds. This
keeps the client from filling the lease database disk quickly on very
small lease times. [ISC-Bugs #19660]
- To defend against RFC 2131 non-compliant DHCP servers which fail to
advertise a lease-time (either mangled, or zero in value) the DHCP
client now adds the server to the reject list ACL and returns to INIT
state to hopefully find an RFC 2131 compliant server (or retry in INIT
forever). [ISC-Bugs #19660]
- Parameters configured to evaluate from user defined function calls can
now be correctly written to dhcpd.leases (as on 'on events' or dynamic
host records inserted via OMAPI). [ISC-Bugs #22266]
- If a 'next-server' parameter is configured in a dynamic host record
via OMAPI as a domain name, the syntax written to disk is now
correctly parsed upon restart. [ISC-Bugs #22266]
- The DHCP server now responds to DHCPLEASEQUERY messages from agents
using IP addresses not covered by a subnet in configuration. Whether
or not to respond to such an agent is still governed by the 'allow
leasequery;' configuration parameter, in the case of an agent not
covered by a configured subnet the root configuration area is
examined. Server now also returns vendor-class-id option, if client
sent it. [ISC-Bugs #21094]
- Documentation fixes
[ISC-Bugs #17959] add text to AIX section describing how to have it
send responses to the all-ones address.
[ISC-Bugs #19615] update the includes in dhcpctl/dhcpctl.3 to be more
correct
[ISC-Bugs #20676] update dhcpd.conf.5 to include the RFC numbers for
DDNS
- Relay no longer crashes, when DHCP packet is received over interface
without any IPv4 address assigned. [ISC-Bugs #22409]
- Linux Packet Filter interface improvement. sockaddr_pkt structure is
used, rather than sockaddr. Packet etherType is now forced to
ETH_P_IP. [ISC-Bugs #18975]
- Minor code cleanups - but note port change for #23196
[ISC-Bugs #23470] - Modify when an ignore return macro is defined to
handle unsed error return warnings for more versions of gcc.
[ISC-Bugs #23196] - Modify the reply handling in the server code to
send to a specified port rather than to the source port for the
incoming message. Sending to the source port was test code that
should have been removed. The previous functionality may be restored
by defining REPLY_TO_SOURCE_PORT in the includes/site.h file. We
suggest you don't enable this except for testing purposes.
[ISC-Bugs #22695] - Close a file descriptor in an error path.
[ISC-Bugs #19368] - Tidy up variable types in validate_port.
- Code cleanup
[ISC-Bugs #13151] remove obsolete PROTO, KandR, INLINE and ANSI_DECL
macros
- Compilation problem with gcc4.5 and omshell.c resolved.
[ISC-Bugs #23831]
- Client Script fixes
[ISC-Bugs #23045] Typos in client/scripts/openbsd
[ISC-Bugs #23565] In the client scripts add a zone id (interface id)
if the domain search address is link local.
[ISC-Bugs #1277] In some of the client scripts add code to handle the
case of the default router information being changed without the
address being changed.
- Enlarge the buffer size used by the Omshell code and some of the
print routines to allow for greater than 60 characters or, when
printing as hex strings, 20 characters. [ISC-Bugs #22743]
- In Solaris 11 switch to using sockets instead of DLPI, thanks
to a patch form Oracle. [ISC-Bugs #24634].
