The dhcp package provides the ISC Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) server and relay agent, dhcpd. DHCP is a protocol that allows
devices to get their own network configuration information from a server.
A bug was found in the way dhcpd validates certain DHCP protocol options.
A malicious DHCP client could send a carefully crafted DHCP request and cause
dhcpd to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2007-5365)
All users of dhcp should upgrade to this updated package, which contains a
backported patch that resolves this issue.
