  • bsc#947780: DHCP server could abort with 'Unable to set up timer: out of range' on very long or infinite timer intervals / lease lifetimes
  • bsc#912098: dhclient could pretend to run while silently declining leases
  • bsc#919959: server: Do not log success report before send reported success

  • bsc#926159: DHCP preferrend and valid lifetime would be logged incorrectly
