Category:	Red Hat Local Security Checks
Title:	RedHat Security Advisory RHSA-2011:1160
Summary:	Redhat Security Advisory RHSA-2011:1160
Description:	The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory RHSA-2011:1160. 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. Two denial of service flaws were found in the way the dhcpd daemon handled certain incomplete request packets. A remote attacker could use these flaws to crash dhcpd via a specially-crafted request. (CVE-2011-2748, CVE-2011-2749) Users of DHCP should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct these issues. 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-2011-1160.html Risk factor : High
