Fedora Core 2 2004-190 Critical: DHCP Buffer Overflow Issue

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a protocol which allows

individual devices on an IP network to get their own network

configuration information (IP address, subnetmask, broadcast address,

etc.) from a DHCP server. The overall purpose of DHCP is to make it

easier to administer a large network. The dhcp package includes the

ISC DHCP service and relay agent.

To use DHCP on your network, install a DHCP service (or relay agent),

and on clients run a DHCP client daemon. The dhcp package provides

the ISC DHCP service and relay agent.

dhcp-3.0.1rc14-1 is now available. This release fixes a buffer overflow vulnerability in the Fedora Core 2 dhcp-3.0.1rc12-*. We strongly urge you to upgrade.
