RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Fixed In Version: dhcp-4.2.5-61.el7
Doc Type: Release Note
Doc Text:
`DDNS` now supports additional algorithms Previously, the `dhcpd` daemon supported only the `HMAC-MD5` hashing algorithm which is considered insecure for critical applications. As a consequence, the `Dynamic DNS (DDNS)` updates were potentially insecure. This update adds support for additional algorithms: `HMAC-SHA1`, `HMAC-SHA224`, `HMAC-SHA256`, `HMAC-SHA384`, or `HMAC-SHA512`.

Backported upstream fix

dhcp-4.2.5-47.el7 only supports known to be insecure HMAC-MD5 algorhitm for dynamic dns upates. I'd suggest backporting upstream fix which add support for HMAC-SHA1, HMAC-SHA224, HMAC-SHA256, HMAC-SHA384, and HMAC-SHA512.
