Background ========= ISC DHCP is the reference implementation of the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol as specified in RFC 2131. Affected packages ================ ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 net-misc/dhcp < 3.1.2_p1 > = 3.1.2_p1 Description ========== Christoph Biedl discovered that dhcpd does not properly handle certain DHCP requests when configured both using "dhcp-client-identifier" and "hardware ethernet". Impact ===== A remote attacker might send a specially crafted request to dhcpd, possibly resulting in a Denial of Service (daemon crash). Workaround ========= There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========= All ISC DHCP users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose =net-misc/dhcp-3.1.2_p1 References ========= [ 1 ] CVE-2009-1892 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2009-1892 Availability =========== This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the GentooSecurity Website: https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/200908-08 Concerns? ======== Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
