Package: isc-dhcp-client
Version: 4.3.5-3+deb9u1
Severity: important

Requesting an address over dhcp6 does not set the ipv6 prefix length. The address received seems always get 
a /128 prefix set, even if the dhcp6 server sends another one. 

I expect dhclient to set the prefix lenght, if the dhcp6 server sends one.

The code in /sbin/dhclient-script under "### DHCPv6 Handlers" is the same in ascii and Debian/unstable (4.4.1-2.1+b2). 

It has a mark "TODO: handle prefix change: ?based on ${old_ip6_prefix} and ${new_ip6_prefix}?"... In the code that 
does set the ipv6 address using iproute2 there is no prefix mentioned. See line 385 and the following:

    385     BOUND6|RENEW6|REBIND6)
    386         if [ "${new_ip6_address}" ]; then
    387             # set leased IP
    388             ip -6 addr add ${new_ip6_address} \
    389                 dev ${interface} scope global
    390         fi

This part has two problems: It should also be called upon reason REBOOT6 (see dhclient-script(8)) and it 
should set the prefix if one was given. I suggest to change this to:

    385     BOUND6|RENEW6|REBIND6|REBOOT6)
    386         if [ "${new_ip6_address}" ]; then
    387 
    388             # check wether a prefix was passed and add it to the address
    389             if [ -n "$new_ip6_prefixlen" ]; then
    390                 new_ip6_address_and_prefix="${new_ip6_address}/${new_ip6_prefixlen}"
    391             else
    392                 new_ip6_address_and_prefix="${new_ip6_address}"
    393             fi
    394 
    395             # set leased IP
    396             ip -6 addr add ${new_ip6_address_and_prefix} \
    397                 dev ${interface} scope global

According to my tests this resolves the problem. Please review.


Regards, Adrian.
