The remote host is missing an update for the 'dhcp' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. A denial of service flaw was found in the way the dhcpd daemon handled DHCP request packets when regular expression matching was used in '/etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf'. Users of DHCP should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue. After installing this update, all DHCP servers will be restarted automatically
