You need JavaScript enabled to view it." Synopsis: Moderate: dhcp security update Issue date: 2011-02-15 CVE Names: CVE-2011-0413 A flaw was found in the way the dhcpd daemon processed certain DHCPv6 messages for addresses that had previously been declined and marked as abandoned internally. If a remote attacker sent such messages to dhcpd, it could cause dhcpd to crash due to an assertion failure if it was running as a DHCPv6 server. (CVE-2011-0413) After installing this update, all DHCP servers will be restarted automatically.
