* A stack overflow vulnerability was fixed in dhclient that could allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands as root on the system, or simply terminate the client, by providing an over-long subnet-mask option.
Changes since 3.1.2rc1
* None.
Changes since 3.1.2b1
* Fix handling of domain-search option to append "." as already done with 4.x.
Changes since 3.1.1
* A double-dereference in dhclient transmission of DHCPDECLINEs was repaired.
* Fix handling of -A and -a flags in dhcrelay; it was failing to expand packet size as needed to add relay agent options.
* Corrected list of failover state values in dhcpd man page.
* Fixed a bug that caused some request types to be logged incorrectly.
* Fixed a coredump when adding a class via OMAPI.
* Clients that sent a parameter request list containing the routers option before the subnet mask option were receiving only the latter. Fixed.
* The server wasn't always sending the FQDN option when it should.
* A partner-down failover server no longer emits 'peer holds all free leases' if it is able to newly-allocate one of the peer's leases.
* A cosmetic bug in DHCPDECLINE processing was fixed which caused all successful DHCPDECLINEs to be logged as "not found" rather than "abandoned".
* Some failover debugging #defines have been better defined and some high frequency messages moved to a deeper debugging symbol.
* The CLTT parameter in failover is now only updated by client activity, and not by failover binding updates (taking on the peer's CLTT).
* Failover BNDUPD messages are now discarded if they conflict with an update that has been trasnmitted, but not acknowledged.
* A bug cleaning up unknown-xxx temporary option definitions was fixed.
Changes since 3.1.1rc2
* None.
Changes since 3.1.1rc1
* Changes in 4.0.x to common/options.c "pretty_domain()" (which turns wireformat rfc1035 into printable form for dhclient.leases) were pulled down. This addresses a bug where "option domain-search , ;" would appear in dhclient.leases.
* Changes in 4.0.x to common/tables.c "option_dereference()" were pulled down. This addresses a bug where overlapping option code definitions in a config file may cause an attempt to free a NULL pointer.
Changes since 3.1.1b1
* A memory leak when using omapi has been fixed.
Fixed --version flag in dhcrelay
Clarified error message when lease limit exceeded
Log messages when failover peer names mismatch have been improved to point out t
he problem.
Manpage entries in dhcp-options.5 for the 'domain-list' format have been updated
.
The 'min-secs' configuration parameter's log message has been updated to be more
helpful.
Fixes to allow code to compile on Mac OS X Leopard (10.5).

Client.
The Internet Software Consortium DHCP Client, dhclient, provides
a means for configuring one or more network interfaces using DHCP
or BOOTP, or by statically assigning an address (if these protocols
fail). The actual network configuration is done by dhclient-script.
This package contains the Client component.
