Title:	RedHat Security Advisory RHSA-2011:1819
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory RHSA-2011:1819. The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (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. 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. A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash dhcpd. (CVE-2011-4539) 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. Solution: Please note that this update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2011-1819.html http://www.isc.org/software/dhcp/advisories/cve-2011-4539 Risk factor : Medium
