Insight
A vulnerability has been found and corrected in ISC DHCP: ISC DHCP Server is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the improper handling of DHCP requests. If the host definitions are mixed using dhcp-client-identifier and hardware ethernet, a remote attacker could send specially-crafted DHCP requests to cause the server to stop responding (CVE-2009-1892). This update provides fixes for this vulnerability. Affected: Enterprise Server 5.0
