-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2012-0490 2012-01-14 03:37:40 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : dhcp Product : Fedora 16 Version : 4.2.3 Release : 5.P2.fc16 URL : http://isc.org/products/DHCP/ Summary : Dynamic host configuration protocol software 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. 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: CVE-2011-4868: error in DDNS processing of DHCPv6 leases can cause ISC dhcpd crash -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Fri Jan 13 2012 Jiri Popelka <jpopelka@redhat.com> - 12:4.2.3-5.P2 - 4.2.3-P2: fix for CVE-2011-4868 (#781246) * Fri Dec 9 2011 Jiri Popelka <jpopelka@redhat.com> - 12:4.2.3-4.P1 - 4.2.3-P1: fix for CVE-2011-4539 (#765681) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #781242 - CVE-2011-4868 dhcp: error in DDNS processing of DHCPv6 leases can cause ISC dhcpd crash https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=781242 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
