RHSA-2009:1136: Critical: dhcp security update
First published: Tue Jul 14 2009(Updated: )
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a protocol that allows<br>individual devices on an IP network to get their own network configuration<br>information, including an IP address, a subnet mask, and a broadcast<br>address.<br>The Mandriva Linux Engineering Team discovered a stack-based buffer<br>overflow flaw in the ISC DHCP client. If the DHCP client were to receive a<br>malicious DHCP response, it could crash or execute arbitrary code with the<br>permissions of the client (root). (CVE-2009-0692)<br>Users of DHCP should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a<br>backported patch to correct this issue.
