Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.831703
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandriva Update for dhcp MDVSA-2012:115 (dhcp)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'dhcp'; package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'dhcp'
package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Multiple vulnerabilities has been discovered and corrected in ISC DHCP:

An unexpected client identifier parameter can cause the ISC DHCP
daemon to segmentation fault when running in DHCPv6 mode, resulting
in a denial of service to further client requests. In order to exploit
this condition, an attacker must be able to send requests to the DHCP
server (CVE-2012-3570)

Two memory leaks have been found and fixed in ISC DHCP. Both are
reproducible when running in DHCPv6 mode (with the -6 command-line
argument.) The first leak is confirmed to only affect servers
operating in DHCPv6 mode, but based on initial code analysis the
second may theoretically affect DHCPv4 servers (though this has not
been demonstrated.) (CVE-2012-3954).

The updated packages have been upgraded to the latest version
(4.2.4-P1) which is not affected by these issues.

Affected Software/OS:
dhcp on Mandriva Linux 2011.0

Solution:
Please Install the Updated Packages.
