Category:CentOS Local Security Checks
Title:CentOS Update for dhclient CESA-2018:0158 centos7
Summary:Check the version of dhclient
Description:Summary:
Check the version of dhclient

Vulnerability Insight:
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. The dhcp packages provide a relay agent
and ISC DHCP service required to enable and administer DHCP on a network.

Security Fix(es):

* It was found that the DHCP daemon did not properly clean up closed OMAPI
connections in certain cases. A remote attacker able to connect to the
OMAPI port could use this flaw to exhaust file descriptors in the DHCP
daemon, leading to a denial of service in the OMAPI functionality.
(CVE-2017-3144)

Affected Software/OS:
dhclient on CentOS 7

Please Install the Updated Packages.
