Description:
Gentoo has issued an update for dhcp. This fixes a weakness, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
The weakness is caused due to an integer overflow error, which can be exploited to crash the server if a large "dhcp-max-message-size" was specified by a client.
Note: Successful exploitation requires a server configuration which provides clients with an unlikely amount of DHCP options.
Solution:
Update to "net-misc/dhcp-3.1.1" or later.
