Fedora: 2: dhcp Buffer overflow vulnerability
Summary
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.
Update Information:
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.
