MGASA-2016-0028 - Updated dhcp packages fix security vulnerability

Publication date: 20 Jan 2016
URL: http://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2016-0028.html
Type: security
Affected Mageia releases: 5
CVE: CVE-2015-8605

Description:
A badly formed packet with an invalid IPv4 UDP length field can cause an
ISC DHCP server, client, or relay program to terminate abnormally
(CVE-2015-8605).

The dhcp package has been updated to version 4.3.3-P1, which fixes this
issue and several other bugs.

Also, the package has also been enhanced to provide better support for
running a DHCPv6 server (mga#17177).
