3. Description:

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a protocol that allows
individual devices on an IP network to get their own network configuration
information, including an IP address, a subnet mask, and a broadcast
address.

Two denial of service flaws were found in the way the dhcpd daemon handled
certain incomplete request packets. A remote attacker could use these flaws
to crash dhcpd via a specially-crafted request. (CVE-2011-2748,
CVE-2011-2749)

Users of DHCP should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a
backported patch to correct these issues. After installing this update, all
DHCP servers will be restarted automatically.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
