Insight
It was discovered that dhcp, a DHCP server for automatic IP address assignment, didn't correctly allocate space for network replies. This could potentially allow a malicious DHCP client to execute arbitary code upon the DHCP server.
For the old stable distribution (sarge), this problem has been fixed in version 2.0pl5-19.1sarge3.
For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version 2.0pl5-19.5etch1.
For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem will be fixed shortly.
We recommend that you upgrade your dhcp package.
