The patch used to correct the DHCP server buffer overflow in DSA-1388-1 was incomplete and did not adequately resolve the problem.
This update to the previous advisory makes updated packages based on a newer version of the patch available.

For completeness, please find below the original advisory :

It was discovered that dhcp, a DHCP server for automatic IP address assignment, didnโ€™t correctly allocate space for network replies. This could potentially allow a malicious DHCP client to execute arbitrary code upon the DHCP server.
