code to the DDNS handling. This code included a bug that caused it
to attempt to dereference a NULL pointer and eventually segfault.
While reviewing the code as we addressed this problem, we determined
that some of the updates to the lease structures would not work as
planned since the structures being updated were in the process of
being freed: these updates were removed. In addition we removed an
incorrect call to the DDNS removal function that could cause a failure
during the removal of DDNS information from the DNS server.
Thanks to Jasper Jongmans for reporting this issue.

CVE: CVE-2011-4868
processing if the configuration included overlapping pools or
multiple fixed-address entries for a single address. This issue
affected both IPv4 and IPv6. The fix allows a server to detect such
conditions, provides the user with extra information and recommended
steps to fix the problem. If the user enables the appropriate option
in site.h then server will be terminated
configured during compilation time. Even though RFC2132 does not allow
to store more than one domain in domain-name option, such behavior is
now enabled by default, but this may change some time in the future.
See ACCEPT_LIST_IN_DOMAIN_NAME define in includes/site.h.

has elapsed (default 25%), the server will reuse the allocated lease
(provide a lease within the currently allocated lease-time) rather
than extend or renew the lease. This absolves the server of needing
to perform an fsync() operation on the lease database before reply,
which improves performance. [ISC-Bugs #22228]
[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.

- 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]
- set initial delay to 0 to speed up client start
- added 'initial-delay' parameter to possibly revert to old behavior
- better handling of very short (1 or 2s) leases
- client lease records are recorded at most once every 15 seconds
- ICMP ping-check is now timed more precisely
- Servers that don't offer lease-time are now black-listed

21518 we changed the print routines to always display time values
as a hex list. This had a side effect of printing all data strings
as a hex list. We shall investigate other ways of displaying time
values more usefully. [ISC-Bugs #22626]
[ISC-Bugs #20418] - Some systems don't support the "%s" argument to
strftime, paste together the same string using mktime instead.
[ISC-Bugs #19596] - When parsing iaid values accept printable
characters.
[ISC-Bugs #21585] - Always print time values in omshell as hex
instead of ascii if the values happen to be printable characters.

to 'rewind' a lease to the state most recently transmitted to its peer,
greatly increasing a server's endurance in communications-interrupted.
This is supported using a new 'rewind state' record on the dhcpd.leases
