Slackware 10.0 / 10.1 / 10.2 / 11.0 / 12.0 / 12.1 / 12.2 / 8.1 / 9.0 / 9.1 / current : dhcp (SSA:2009-195-01)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 39796

Synopsis

The remote Slackware host is missing a security update.

Description

New dhcp packages are available for Slackware 8.1, 9.0, 9.1, 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, 11.0, 12.0, 12.1, 12.2, and -current to fix a security issue with dhclient. Note that dhclient is not the default DHCP client in Slackware's networking scripts, dhcpcd is. However, if you use dhclient on a network where someone could deploy a hostile DHCP server, you should upgrade to the new package.

Solution

Update the affected dhcp package.
