Red Hat Product Errata RHSA-2011:0256 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE Moderate: dhcp security update 2011-02-15 18:47:02 UTC

Description Tomas Hoger 2011-01-26 09:13:17 UTC
We've been notified by ISC about the upcoming security advisory for ISC DHCP.  This issue affects DHCPv6 server:

  When the DHCPv6 server code processes a message for an address that was
  previously declined and internally tagged as abandoned it can trigger an
  assert failure resulting in the server crashing. This could be used to
  crash DHCPv6 servers remotely. This issue only affects DHCPv6 servers.
  DHCPv4 servers are unaffected.

  Versions affected: 4.0.x-4.2.x
  Solution: Upgrade to 4.1.2-P1, 4.1-ESV-R1, or 4.2.1b1

This also got US-CERT id VU#686084: http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/686084

Acknowledgement:

Red Hat would like to thank Internet Systems Consortium for reporting this issue.
