Synopsis
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

dhcpd as included in the ISC DHCP implementation does not properly
handle special conditions, leading to a Denial of Service.

Background
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

ISC DHCP is the reference implementation of the Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol as specified in RFC 2131.

Affected packages
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package        /  Vulnerable  /                        Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  net-misc/dhcp     < 3.1.2_p1                          >=3D 3.1.2_p1


Description
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

Christoph Biedl discovered that dhcpd does not properly handle certain
DHCP requests when configured both using "dhcp-client-identifier" and
"hardware ethernet".

Impact
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

A remote attacker might send a specially crafted request to dhcpd,
possibly resulting in a Denial of Service (daemon crash).

Workaround
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

All ISC DHCP users should upgrade to the latest version:

    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose =3Dnet-misc/dhcp-3.1.2_p1
