The remote host is missing an update for the 'dhcp' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. A resource-consumption flaw was discovered in the DHCP server. dhcpd did not restrict the number of open connections to OMAPI and failover ports. A remote attacker able to establish TCP connections to one of these ports could use this flaw to cause dhcpd to exit unexpectedly, stop responding requests, or exhaust system sockets (denial of service).

(DHCP) is a protocol that allows individual devices on an IP network to get their
own network configuration information, including an IP address, a subnet mask,
and a broadcast address. The dhcp packages provide a relay agent and ISC DHCP
service required to enable and administer DHCP on a network.

Security Fix(es):

  * A resource-consumption flaw was discovered in the DHCP server. dhcpd did
not restrict the number of open connections to OMAPI and failover ports. A
remote attacker able to establish TCP connections to one of these ports
could use this flaw to cause dhcpd to exit unexpectedly, stop responding
requests, or exhaust system sockets (denial of service). (CVE-2016-2774)

Red Hat would like to thank ISC for reporting this issue.
