This acts almost exactly like --dhcp-option except that the defined option
is only sent when replying to PXE clients. More importantly, these
options are sent in reply PXE clients when dnsmasq in acting in PXE
proxy mode. In PXE proxy mode, the set of options sent is defined by
the PXE standard and the normal set of options is not sent. This config
allows arbitrary options in PXE-proxy replies. A typical use-case is
to send option 175 to iPXE. Thanks to Jason Berry for finding the
requirement for this.
As defined in the C standard:
In all cases the argument is an int, the value of which shall
be representable as an unsigned char or shall equal the value
of the macro EOF. If the argument has any other value, the
behavior is undefined.
This is because they're designed to work with the int values returned
by getc or fgetc; they need extra work to handle a char value.
If EOF is -1 (as it almost always is), with 8-bit bytes, the allowed
inputs to the ctype(3) functions are:
{-1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ..., 255}.
However, on platforms where char is signed, such as x86 with the
usual ABI, code like
char *arg = ...;
... isspace(*arg) ...
may pass in values in the range:
{-128, -127, -126, ..., -2, -1, 0, 1, ..., 127}.
This has two problems:
1. Inputs in the set {-128, -127, -126, ..., -2} are forbidden.
2. The non-EOF byte 0xff is conflated with the value EOF = -1, so
even though the input is not forbidden, it may give the wrong
answer.
Casting char to int first before passing the result to ctype(3)
doesn't help: inputs like -128 are unchanged by this cast. It is
necessary to cast char inputs to unsigned char first; you can then
cast to int if you like but there's no need because the functions
will always convert the argument to int by definition. So the above
fragment needs to be:
char *arg = ...;
... isspace((unsigned char)*arg) ...
This patch inserts unsigned char casts where necessary, and changes
int casts to unsigned char casts where the input is char.
I left alone int casts where the input is unsigned char already --
they're not immediately harmful, although they would have the effect
of suppressing some compiler warnings if the input is ever changed to
be char instead of unsigned char, so it might be better to remove
those casts too.
I also left alone calls where the input is int to begin with because
it came from getc; casting to unsigned char here would be wrong, of
course.
1) Cosmetic: don't log the tags twice.
2) Functional. If a host has an old lease for a different address,
the rapid-commit will appear to work, but the old lease will
not be removed and the new lease will not be recorded, so
the client and server will have conflicting state, leading to
problems later.

Subject: [PATCH v2] pxe: support pxe clients with custom vendor-class
According to UEFI[1] and PXE[2] specs, PXE clients are required to have
`PXEClient` identfier in the vendor-class field of DHCP requests, and
PXE servers should also include that identifier in their responses.
However, the firmware of servers from a few vendors[3] are customized to
include a different identifier. This patch adds an option named
`dhcp-pxe-vendor` to provide a list of such identifiers. The identifier
used in responses sent from dnsmasq is identical to that in the coresponding
request.

[3]: For instance, TaiShan servers from Huawei, which are Arm64-based,
send `HW-Client` in PXE requests up to now.

The idea of this option was already discussed years ago on the mailing
list:
https://dnsmasq-discuss.thekelleys.org.narkive.com/ZoFQNaGo/always-ignore-client-identifier#post4
In our production environnement, we discovered that some devices are
using 'client identifier' not unique at all, resulting on IP addresses
conflicts between several devices (we saw up to four devices using same
IP address).
The root cause is probably a buggy operating system/configuration of
decices, but this patch add a configuration workaround on server side
when fixing clients is impossible.

Fix heap overflow in DNS code. This is a potentially serious
security hole. It allows an attacker who can make DNS
requests to dnsmasq, and who controls the contents of
a domain, which is thereby queried, to overflow
(by 2 bytes) a heap buffer and either crash, or
even take control of, dnsmasq.
Commit f77700aa, which fixes a compiler warning, also breaks the
behaviour of prepending ".<layer>" to basenames in --pxe-service: in
situations where the basename contains a ".", the ".<layer>" suffix is
erroneously added, and in situations where the basename doesn't contain
a ".", the ".<layer>" suffix is erroneously omitted.
A patch against the git HEAD is attached that inverts this logic and
restores the expected behaviour of --pxe-service.
This reverts commit 88a77a78ad.
A least one client has been found which breaks with this change. Since
the use-case is not clear, I'm reverting the change, at least for now.
Adds option to delay replying to DHCP packets by one or more seconds.
This provides a workaround for a PXE boot firmware implementation
that has a bug causing it to fail if it receives a (proxy) DHCP
reply instantly.
On Linux it looks up the exact receive time of the UDP packet with
the SIOCGSTAMP ioctl to prevent multiple delays if multiple packets
come in around the same time.
