"The remote MiracleLinux 4 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
AXSA:2011-427:03 advisory.

    DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a protocol which allows
    individual devices on an IP network to get their own network
    configuration information (IP address, subnetmask, broadcast address,
    etc.) from a DHCP server. The overall purpose of DHCP is to make it
    easier to administer a large network.  The dhcp package includes the
    ISC DHCP service and relay agent.
    To use DHCP on your network, install a DHCP service (or relay agent),
    and on clients run a DHCP client daemon.  The dhcp package provides
    the ISC DHCP service and relay agent.
    Security issues fixed with this release:
    CVE-2011-2748
    The server in ISC DHCP 3.x and 4.x before 4.2.2, 3.1-ESV before 3.1-ESV-R3, and 4.1-ESV before 4.1-ESV-R3
    allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon exit) via a crafted DHCP packet.
    CVE-2011-2749
    The server in ISC DHCP 3.x and 4.x before 4.2.2, 3.1-ESV before 3.1-ESV-R3, and 4.1-ESV before 4.1-ESV-R3
    allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon exit) via a crafted BOOTP packet.
    Fixed bugs:
     - Added the DHCRELAYARGS variable to the /etc/sysconfig/dhcrelay configuration file to pass additional
    arguments to the dhcrelay daemon
     - The dhclient utility now logs its PID properly in syslog entries.
     - Fixed the dhclient date strings parsing in lease files.
     - Now, while updating the search entry, the dhclient utility always adds the domain part of the host name
    given to the client if it is missing.
     - The dhcpd service with IPv6 could someitmes create a lease file that it was unable to parse. The
    service would then go into a loop and not start after being restarted. This has been fixed.
     - Some ISPs DHCP servers send their clients 576 for the interface-mtu option value. Such a low MTU can
    cause throughput problems with UDP traffic. The dhclient utility now sets the interface MTU only if the
    value obtained from the server is higher than 576.
     - added the LICENSE file to the dhclient package.
    Enhancements:
     - Implemented the Classless Static Route Options for DHCPv4 (RFC 3442), which supplies network route
    configuration to a large number of hosts without individual configuration of each one.
     - Added support for IPoIB (IP over InfiniBand) interfaces.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
