Title:	RedHat Update for dhcp RHSA-2011:0256-01
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: 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. DHCPv6 is the DHCP protocol version for IPv6 networks. A flaw was found in the way the dhcpd daemon processed certain DHCPv6 messages for addresses that had previously been declined and marked as abandoned internally. If a remote attacker sent such messages to dhcpd, it could cause dhcpd to crash due to an assertion failure if it was running as a DHCPv6 server. (CVE-2011-0413) Red Hat would like to thank Internet Systems Consortium for reporting this issue. Users running dhcpd as a DHCPv6 server 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. Affected Software/OS: dhcp on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 6), Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 6), Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation (v. 6) Solution: Please Install the Updated Packages. CVSS Score: 7.8 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C
