Fedora Core 4: FEDORA-2005-547 Critical: DHCP Flood Prevention

Updated package released.. ---------------------------------------------------------------------Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2005-547 2005-07-12 ---------------------------------------------------------------------Product : Fedora Core 4 Name : dhcp Version : 3.0.2 Release : 14.FC4 Summary : A DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server and relay agent. Description : 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 DHCP server and a DHCP relay agent. You should install dhcp if you want to set up a DHCP server on your network. You will also need to install the pump package, which provides the DHCP client daemon, on client machines. ---------------------------------------------------------------------Update Information: - Fix bug 159929: prevent dhclient flooding network on repeated DHCPDECLINE - dhclient fast startup: remove dhclient's random 1-5 second delay on startup if only configuring one interface remove dhclient_script's "sleep 1" on PREINIT - fix new gcc-4.0.0-11 compiler warnings for binding_state_t ---------------------------------------------------------------------* Tue May 10 2005 Jason Vas Dias 10:3.0.2-14 - Fix bug 159929: prevent dhclient flooding network on repeated DHCPDECLINE - dhclient fast startup: remove dhclient's random 1-5 second delay on startup if only configuring one interface remove dhclient_script's "sleep 1" on PREINIT - fix new gcc-4.0.0-11 compiler warnings for binding_state_t ---------------------------------------------------------------------This update can be downloaded from: 1611b955a797486f91f369c23acf9dfa SRPMS/dhcp-3.0.2-14.FC4.src.rpm e402de7142605ec6ec08701415268d2e ppc/dhcp-3.0.2-14.FC4.ppc.rpm aa55ea3936ad81928479a408fce3acdd ppc/dhclient-3.0.2-14.FC4.ppc.rpm d8739082feb816353985cb1334f432f9 ppc/dhcp-devel-3.0.2-14.FC4.ppc.rpm f59c3281d07cd656ee3c78d7e7e11d2e ppc/debug/dhcp-debuginfo-3.0.2-14.FC4.ppc.rpm 24c052fe6fd6c3b67cc46262cef0276d x86_64/dhcp-3.0.2-14.FC4.x86_64.rpm 2706cf1abd4b4d756e375cba3c87d9e3 x86_64/dhclient-3.0.2-14.FC4.x86_64.rpm a4d006a9bad0b2776d241c36a17b5bdd x86_64/dhcp-devel-3.0.2-14.FC4.x86_64.rpm ce757828d3abdd54ad3ac09a423c69c2 x86_64/debug/dhcp-debuginfo-3.0.2-14.FC4.x86_64.rpm 438e63cbe042f0594074ca978d35a719 i386/dhcp-3.0.2-14.FC4.i386.rpm 9ce7bd8146a65c81685664910c9c4504 i386/dhclient-3.0.2-14.FC4.i386.rpm 30313e7ee359a8e98b107cd9c01caaa5 i386/dhcp-devel-3.0.2-14.FC4.i386.rpm 0f76e2793bfe230361318665e37c6265 i386/debug/dhcp-debuginfo-3.0.2-14.FC4.i386.rpm This update can also be installed with the Update Agent; you can launch the Update Agent with the 'up2date' command. -----------------------------------------------------------------------fedora-announce-list mailing list This email address is being protected from spambots.
